Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 291 Tonight's entire bill is on Young Master Zhao (Daily Life)

A bar is a place every teenager dreams of going to.

There, you'll find dazzling neon lights unlike anything you've ever experienced in your life, and passionate, sexy, and fiery drinks. Inside, you can unleash your hormones to your heart's content.

And coincidentally, today countless young people who have been suppressing their emotions for three years want to let loose.

The CBD is a high-end area; even a glass of water in a bar costs several tens of dollars. Students without a solid financial foundation would tremble at the mere sight of the price list.

However, Young Master Zhao is rich and plans to throw an awesome party tonight, which all the popular figures in the class will attend.

But guess who didn't receive an invitation?
(╭ω)╭You!

Su Xiaoqiang: ()
"Everyone, please don't be shy. Order whatever you want to eat or drink!" Zhao Menghua stood in the center of the crowd, full of confidence.

The Xu family's two chubby members cheered excitedly, adding to the atmosphere: "Tonight, Young Master Zhao will be paying for everything!" (Screams)

“Ohhhhhhh—”

"Young Master Zhao is so generous!"

"Boss Zhao is awesome!"

"Brother Zhao is awesome!"

"Boss, you're so handsome! I want to have your babies!"

The third floor of the bar was packed with people. Almost the entire literary society was there, as were most of the students from the class. Even the brothers who usually fawned over or got along well with Zhao Menghua were all present. They all applauded, cheered, and applauded for Zhao Menghua and for such a wonderful night.

Chen Wenwen didn't have a good impression of bars, feeling that they weren't places for people like her to go. But today, her boyfriend was treating, and she was finally able to return to nature after being cooped up in a cage for so long, so it was definitely worth commemorating.

Moreover, the bar they came to was run by an acquaintance of Zhao Menghua, so there was no chance of any danger or unhealthy things coming out.

Watching her handsome and wealthy boyfriend enjoy the adoration of the crowd under the stage lights, Chen Wenwen, who prefers quiet girls, didn't find it noisy at all, and her eyes sparkled with a little light.

As expected, her choice was correct. Apart from that legendary man, Zhao Menghua was the best among all the students at Shilan Middle School.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere heated up, and everyone was no longer as reserved as before. They gathered together to chat and boast loudly, talking about all sorts of topics, and some even jumped onto the stage to show off their singing voices.

Amidst the chaos, Chen Wenwen remained unmoved, sitting by the window in a white dress, like a pure white lotus rising from the mud, quietly reading a copy of "Jane Eyre" in her hand, completely out of place in the entire venue.

After finishing a round of drinks with his best buddies, Zhao Menghua returned to find his girlfriend looking aloof and independent. He felt a sense of pride, as if he had dragged a fairy down to earth. He grabbed an unopened bottle of sparkling beverage, intending to clink glasses or share a toast with her, and also to discuss their summer vacation plans.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that her gaze wasn't focused on the book on her lap, but rather on the street just across the window.

"Wenwen, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Menghua naturally sat down next to Chen Wenwen, his gaze following her out the window.

Today, there are an unusually large number of people in the CBD, mostly young men and women. Many young couples who used to sneak around and hide from their parents and teachers are now openly dating and not hiding from anyone.

At first glance, there was nothing noteworthy; they were all ordinary people whose looks were far inferior to his and Chen Wenwen's.

Chen Wenwen's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her voice was a little uncertain: "I think I just saw Lu Mingfei."

Although she was scolded by Lu Mingfei at the movie theater last time, and even her boyfriend, with whom she had just started a relationship, was beaten up, she didn't actually hold much resentment towards Lu Mingfei. She just felt that he had changed a lot and was a little curious about why.

That night, after returning home and reflecting on the situation, she realized that it was probably because she and Zhao Menghua had gotten together and she couldn't reciprocate his feelings that she became angry and turned against him.

But when it comes to relationships, it's all about mutual consent. You can't say that if you like me, I have to reciprocate.

Moreover, they even used Su Xiaoqiang as a shield.

This is not good.

"Where is he?" Zhao Menghua knew that Lu Mingfei had returned to China that afternoon, but he hadn't told anyone. He was just thinking of finding someone to teach Lu Mingfei a lesson after today, but he didn't expect to run into him today.

Chen Wenwen, unaware of her boyfriend's intentions, gently shook her head.

"I'm not sure if it is. It looked a bit like it at first glance, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Lu Mingfei has changed so much. He's completely different from when he used to follow her around. The video of his concert in Japan last night has spread all over the internet today. She's watched it several times and can't believe that this is the same boy who used to be so nervous and stutter when he spoke in front of a crowd.

And the girl beside him was very beautiful and pure, much like the perfect self he imagined. Her eyes were like a lake, clear enough to reflect people's hearts.

The reason she looked out the window was because she heard someone singing, which reminded her of Lu Mingfei, who shone brightly on stage. So she turned her head to look out the window and unexpectedly discovered a handsome man and a beautiful woman that she had watched repeatedly in the video.

She blinked, trying to make sure she wasn't seeing things, but when she looked again, they were nowhere to be found.

"You must have misread it. He was still in Japan yesterday, so he shouldn't be back so soon."

Zhao Menghua frowned and remained silent, knowing that it must be Lu Mingfei, but still went along with her words and poured her a glass of sparkling beverage.
"Who cares if it is or not, let's have something to drink, this is non-alcoholic."

Lu Mingfei has been in the spotlight lately, attracting a lot of attention. At this critical juncture, it would be too risky to take action against him.

It would be best to wait until Chen Wenwen agrees to go on the trip together and has an alibi before having someone teach Lu Mingfei a lesson.

What's so great about beating a white-socked PE student? Can he beat a well-trained bodyguard in black sunglasses?
"Travel? Great! Where to go?"

Chen Wenwen smiled slightly and agreed almost without hesitation, closing the book she no longer wanted to read.

During the holiday, she had planned to go out and gather inspiration, hoping to capture some ideas to write a masterpiece.

“Sichuan.” Zhao Menghua had already planned it. “Let’s go to Jiuzhaigou, Mount Emei, the Panda Base together… and then charter a yacht and sail eastward along the Yangtze River to personally experience the thousand-year-old poetic beauty of ‘The Three Gorges of Badong and Wuxia are long, and the cries of monkeys bring tears to one’s clothes.’”

His writing skills were quite good; he successfully used words to paint a beautiful picture in Chen Wenwen's mind of crossing the river by boat and appreciating the scenery of the motherland.

The girl's heart fluttered, and she readily agreed.

They arranged a suitable day, and the two sat side by side, enjoying the private space that everyone had tacitly left for them.

Not far away, Liu Miaomiao, who is known as the little beauty of piano, glanced in this direction, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

She hadn't wanted to come, but it was Zhao Menghua's kind invitation. Fortunately, several close friends also came, so a few drinks kept things interesting.

"Give the handsome man four pounds of soybeans and three leather belts—"

On stage, several boys were singing "I Want to Shout I Love You," which sounded a bit harsh to her ears. Seeing that it was getting late and her face was flushed from drinking the low-alcohol sparkling wine, she decided to say goodbye and leave.

Zhao Menghua wasn't interested in Liu Miaomiao, but she was, after all, a wealthy heiress and a promising prospect, so he naturally had to take good care of her. He specifically assigned two tall and strong male athletes to be her protectors.

Every year around this time, a group of malicious people stake out outside bars, hoping to find an unlucky guy who's passed out drunk on the roadside.

Although the CBD area isn't as chaotic, and Liu Miaomiao's eyes are still clear, we still have to be cautious.

The piano prodigy glanced at the "class beauty" who had gone back to reading, then at Zhao Menghua, who was assigning bodyguard duties, nodded, and left.

The weather is always bad during exams, and today was no exception, a gloomy and rainy day. When she went outside, it was already drizzling. People hurrying along the street opened their umbrellas, and rainwater slid down the umbrella ribs, dripping onto the puddles and splashing water droplets.

Liu Miaomiao stood under the eaves watching the rain. Beside her were two sports students who wanted to talk to her but dared not flirt with her because of her aloof demeanor. They waited with her for the driver.

This scene inexplicably reminded her of a scene from a few years ago, when it was a typhoon day and two boys were sheltering from the rain with her under the eaves.

That day, she mustered up the courage to talk to one of the boys and offered to take him home, but he politely declined, leaving a significant regret in the young girl's heart.

Another boy took the initiative to ask for a ride home, but she refused, saying it wasn't on her way. In the end, he tried to see the legendary Shilan Middle School in the rearview mirror, but due to the angle, he could only see a skinny boy with his coat covering his head, running into the cold rain like a lost dog.

She regretted it a little at the time.

I regret not sitting on the other side; I could have gotten a better look at Senior Chu from the other side's rearview mirror.

I wonder how he's doing in the US now. When she received the interview invitation from Kassel College, she prepared carefully, hoping to meet her dream man in the US.

Unfortunately, Kassel College might be a mental institution, given the ridiculous problems they're setting.

However, she thought of Lu Mingfei, the only one who passed the interview and was selected, and his actions that shocked everyone afterward, and felt a sense of loss for what was to come.

Why didn't you show your best side sooner?

That way, Chen Wenwen won't pretend she doesn't know you like her.

Why not muster up the courage to confess your feelings? Maybe you'll win her over.

What a fool.

The girl was sighing when she suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice behind her, speaking Japanese:

"I already told you there's nothing fun here, it's much worse than Takamagahara."

She turned around and saw a couple dressed in matching outfits walking hand in hand out of the bar. The man was incredibly handsome, and the woman was so beautiful that she felt pressured, as if she were facing a celestial being with an overwhelming aura.

Especially her crimson eyes, which made her look like an elegant vampire queen.

But soon, Liu Miaomiao realized that the two people in front of her had just looked at it on their phones and even discussed it with their classmates.

She tentatively asked, "Lu Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei, who was explaining to Erii the negative impact of bars on teenagers' development, heard someone call his name. He looked up and saw the pretty girl playing the piano and two PE students in white socks standing there. He blurted out:
"Why are you already looking for part-time jobs right after finishing the college entrance exam?"

Liu Miaomiao was stunned upon hearing this, and didn't react immediately: "What?"

"Bringing two bodyguards to perform at a bar, that's something to be proud of." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.

As expected of a rich second-generation with ideals and aspirations, while others are still thinking about throwing parties and staying up all night at internet cafes, he has already started the script of going from being a working man to inheriting billions of dollars.

He vaguely remembered the two tall, muscular PE students next to him; he had seen them before when he beat up Zhao Menghua in the movie theater.

"No, I..." Liu Miaomiao frowned, wanting to explain, but Lu Mingfei just made a casual joke and had no intention of stopping to talk with his old classmate. He continued walking into the rain with Erii.

Erii glanced at her curiously, her exquisite and beautiful face expressionless. She asked Lu Mingfei who this was, and he replied that she was a former classmate, his tone light and casual, as if she were someone insignificant.

Liu Miaomiao, who was ignored as if she were invisible, stood there, opened her mouth as if to say something, but when she met the gaze of the doll-like, exquisitely cold girl, she couldn't say anything.

They didn't have much interaction to begin with, and even their only friendship as classmates was severed at some point.

She watched the two leave hand in hand. A light drizzle fell, but just before it landed directly on their heads, it quietly changed direction and fell smoothly into the air to the side.

She blinked repeatedly, wondering if she was seeing things.

But just as she was about to get a clearer view, a white BMW stopped directly in front of her, blocking her view. The driver quickly got out of the car, holding an umbrella, and walked towards her to help her into the car.

The two PE students next to them didn't dare to say a word. People's physiques are different. Liu Miaomiao might not have felt anything just now, but when Lu Mingfei's gaze swept over them, the two of them felt as if they were being locked onto by some kind of top predator, and they trembled from the bottom of their hearts.

It's as if the next second they'll become Zhao Menghua, thrown several meters away by an over-the-shoulder throw, and then just happen to crash into an overloaded dump truck, transported to another world as a white-haired hero embarking on a world-saving journey to defeat the demon king, rescue the princess, and marry the king.

Liu Miaomiao bypassed the driver, wanting to look for the two again, but there were only passing cars and pedestrians walking with umbrellas on the road, and no sign of Lu Mingfei and his female companion.

The girl sat in the carriage, looking lost and forlorn.

Upstairs, the two PE students returned and immediately reported the enemy situation to Zhao Menghua. Chen Wenwen, who was standing nearby, looked surprised. She wished she had left with them earlier, as she was also feeling bored staying here.

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that I'll ever run into Lu Mingfei again.

I'm quite curious to know what he's been doing in Japan.

……

Lu Mingfei actually knew that his old classmates were having a graduation party upstairs. With his current senses, he could hear every little movement in the entire building, but he didn't go over to say hello or play the "Dragon King Returns" act to slap the classmates in the face at the reunion.

A similar scenario had occurred in his previous life, but back then he was surrounded by an aura of glory, making a grand entrance with overwhelming force. When his old classmates met him, they would exclaim, "Holy crap! A living god of the road!" He had no chance to show off or humiliate them.

They are now from two different worlds, not separated by a sad, thick barrier, but possibly by reproductive barriers.

But I don't know if Zhao Menghua has lost his mind, actually wanting to travel to Sichuan at this time. Is he tired of living or does he want to visit the underworld as a souvenir?
