Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

It really does taste pretty good...

However, it was only at this moment that Liu Miaomiao belatedly realized that her actions seemed rather ambiguous.

It's like a girl who gets fed by her boyfriend.

However, looking around, it was fortunate that I had arrived early enough, as there were not many students from Shilan Secondary School nearby, let alone acquaintances.

So, no one should have noticed what I just did, right?

Although she really enjoyed being pampered by Lu Mingfei, the young girl was still shy and felt that some things should only be done after they were officially confirmed as a couple.

Seeing that no one had noticed her earlier, Liu Miaomiao became a little bolder and took a second bite.

I had just taken a bite when I saw that familiar license plate, backing away from another intersection.

Chapter 120 Liu Miaomiao's Mother's Methods

Lu Mingfei, who was facing away from the driveway, knew nothing. He only saw Liu Miaomiao in front of him suddenly stand up straight obediently, looking nervous.

While I was still wondering what was wrong with the little girl, I caught a glimpse of the black BMW parked in the adjacent lane again.

In the instant she subconsciously turned her head, she met a pair of eyes that looked very much like Liu Miaomiao's, which were revealed from behind the slowly lowering car window.

Good genes are always passed down. Liu Miaomiao has a pair of very cute almond-shaped eyes, as if they contain a whole lake. When she blinks, the surface of the lake will ripple gently.

Liu Miaomiao's mother also has a pair of very beautiful almond-shaped eyes, but instead of lakes, her eyes hold the sea, as if all the vicissitudes and experiences she has had are buried within them.

Liu Miaomiao obediently trotted to the car window.

"Mom, why are you back?"

Liu Miaomiao lowered her eyes, her heart filled with unease, praying that her mother hadn't seen what she had just done.

Her family has strict rules. Although her parents are relatively open-minded and do not forbid normal interactions with her classmates, they do not allow her to have overly intimate interactions with male classmates and strictly prohibit her from crossing the line of ordinary friends.

"You left your sheet music in the car."

Ji Ruyan took a sheet music book filled with notes in pen from the passenger seat and handed it to her daughter through the car window.

Liu Miaomiao mentally slapped her forehead. She had been so excited when she saw Lu Mingfei by the roadside in the car that she had left the sheet music on her seat and forgotten to take it.

Just as Liu Miaomiao reached out and respectfully took the sheet music from her mother, Ji Ruyan spoke softly:

"What's that boy's name?"

Liu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. She knew that her mother had seen Lu Mingfei feeding her tea eggs.

"His name is Lu Mingfei." Liu Miaomiao said nervously, pursing her lips.

"Lu Mingfei?" Ji Ruyan tilted her head slightly. "Is he the kid who was in your class in junior high and whose parent-teacher conferences were often deserted?"

"Yes."

"Your grades aren't very good?"

"He's doing really well academically now. He ranked 69th in the last exam! And he's also our class monitor."

Liu Miaomiao unconsciously pouted, trying to prove Lu Mingfei's excellence.

"Oh? So the guy you mentioned over the weekend, wanting a classmate to come over to your house for tutoring, is that Lu Mingfei?"

"That, that is..." Liu Miaomiao hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Seeing her daughter's flustered appearance, Ji Ruyan, who was initially unsure, now had a pretty good idea of ​​the situation.

Miao Miao has most likely fallen for this guy named Lu Mingfei. They might even already be together.

No, I should have realized it much earlier.

In previous years, Miao Miao would play well-known, simple, and melodious piano pieces like "Canon" and "Moonlight Sonata" during the school anniversary performances at Shilan Middle School.

But this time, Miao Miao chose a relatively obscure piece, "The Maiden's Prayer," a piano piece composed by Polish pianist Badazywska when she was 18 years old.

This is a piano piece about a young girl expressing her love.

In front of all 6000 teachers and students of Shilan Middle School, Ji Ruyan never imagined her daughter would be so bold. You see, when she first started learning piano, she wouldn't even dare to go on stage.

Ji Ruyan's expression turned icy cold as she rolled up the car window and said, "Okay, you go to class first. We'll have a good talk when we get back tonight."

"I……"

Before Liu Miaomiao could finish speaking, the black BMW started its engine, merged with the traffic next to it, and sped away.

……

Noon, canteen.

The metal plate landed on the table with a "thud," and Su Xiaoqiang sat down opposite Lu Mingfei.

"Tell me, Lu Mingfei, what heinous thing did you do to Liu Miaomiao? Not only did she not come to talk to you all morning, but she also didn't want to eat with you."

Su Xiaoqiang rested her chin on her hand, glancing at Lu Mingfei with a half-smile.

It's true what they say, what goes around comes around. Last week, Liu Miaomiao was having dinner with him, while Xiaotiannv was avoiding him. He finally managed to get Xiaotiannv's situation resolved, and now Liu Miaomiao is in trouble.

Lu Mingfei looked completely innocent. "I didn't do anything."

"You don't believe me? Why would someone treat you like this if you didn't do anything?"

“Actually, it’s just…”

Lu Mingfei briefly recounted what had happened at the school gate that morning to Su Xiaoqiang.

"Serves you right." The little fairy gloated, "Who told you to flirt with him for no reason? Now you've been caught red-handed by his parents, haven't you?"

"You don't flirt all the time for no reason," Lu Mingfei retorted, thinking to himself, "I only flirt when I have something to say!"

"Actually, I noticed Liu Miaomiao hasn't been eating much lately, so I thought I'd feed her more. The school anniversary is in October, right? Then last week, Liu Miaomiao started dieting for her piano solo, only eating a bite of food at lunchtime. I was worried she'd starve herself if she kept going like that, so I happened to run into her this morning and fed her half a tea egg. Who knew…"

It turned out to be the case.

Su Xiaoqiang was surprised that Lu Mingfei was so thoughtful, even noticing these details.

However, during her previous interactions with Lu Mingfei, she discovered that he did seem to have quite high emotional intelligence...

Subtle and understated care in the smallest details can indeed be very touching.

She suddenly understood why Liu Miaomiao liked this guy who looked a bit pathetic.

Holy crap! What am I even thinking?! How could I possibly understand why Liu Miaomiao would fall for this guy?!

Su Xiaoqiang shook her head abruptly, exhaled a long breath under Lu Mingfei's questioning gaze, and then, as if trying to divert attention, said:

"Don't worry, don't worry. Liu Miaomiao is just having trouble getting over this right now, that's why she's avoiding you. She'll be fine in a couple of days. As for Liu Miaomiao's mother, she can't stop Liu Miaomiao from liking anyone. Even if she doesn't allow Liu Miaomiao to date in high school, can she stop her in college?"

Lu Mingfei blinked, thinking that he wasn't worried at all.

More than worrying about Liu Miaomiao ignoring him, he was actually more worried about whether Liu Miaomiao's health would suffer if things continued like this.

Liu Miaomiao had already been eating very little lately. Although they were only in their first year of high school, the academic pressure on the young girl was still quite high if she wanted to maintain a ranking of around 50th in the grade. In addition, with the school anniversary coming up soon, she also had to set aside some time each day to practice the piano.

Now this has happened again.

Sigh, I can only hope that Liu Miaomiao's family won't put too much pressure on her.

……

Liu Miaomiao didn't actually blame Lu Mingfei for what happened that morning.

She only complained about herself, wondering why she was so greedy!

If only I hadn't been so greedy for those two tea eggs!

But...it's so delicious...

Liu Miaomiao's heart was shrouded in gloom all day, worried that her mother might do something drastic, such as telling the teacher about it and inviting both sets of parents over for tea.

She wasn't worried about anything. Although her mother was strict with her, she wouldn't actually scold or beat her, and her father spoiled her even more.

However, she knew that Lu Mingfei's parents were away from the country most of the time, and that Lu Mingfei's guardians, his uncle and aunt, were not very kind to him.

If we really call the parents, who knows what will happen to Mingfei.

What worried her even more was what would happen if Lu Mingfei's secret of living alone outside was exposed...

Liu Miaomiao was feeling irritable and absent-minded all day. She didn't even listen in class and just stood in her seat, lost in thought.

Then, after the first class in the afternoon, Liu Miaomiao was called to the office by her homeroom teacher, Lao Wang.

"This is the new rehearsal list for the school anniversary program. Liu Miaomiao, take a look."

Old Wang sighed, took a small booklet out of the drawer, and handed it to Liu Miaomiao.

The rehearsal list for the school anniversary program? Wasn't it already sent out last week?

Liu Miaomiao frowned in confusion as she flipped through the program. When she turned to the second-to-last page, "Piano Solo Performance," her expression suddenly froze.

The book she originally submitted, Badatevska's "The Maiden's Prayer," was replaced by Maxim's "Exodus."

"The school's board discussed it and felt that while the original 'Girl's Prayer' was very youthful and energetic, the theme of the piece wasn't quite right. After talking with your instructor, they decided to change it to 'Exodus,' which is more in line with the passionate and positive theme of middle school students. Liu Miaomiao, don't be too sad. If it doesn't work out this year, you can try applying again next year. You play this piece often, so you should pick it up pretty quickly..."

Liu Miaomiao's hands trembled slightly. The teacher's words that followed had become a string of unpleasant white noise, falling into her ears and breaking into pieces.

The school's board of directors wouldn't concern themselves with such trivial matters. She knew it must have been her mother's doing.

Su Xiaoqiang's father had the power to pressure the school administration of Shilan Middle School, and Liu Miaomiao's mother had the same power.

The main point is that this is very likely the first thing the mother does.

Perhaps...

Chapter 121 The World's First Minister, Returns to Power?

The piano room in Liu Miaomiao's home in California Sunshine Community at night

Liu Miaomiao sat in front of an ivory-white Steinway grand piano.

The piece to be performed was changed from the originally lively and cheerful "The Maiden's Prayer" to the epic and solemn "Exodus," which Liu Miaomiao found completely difficult to adapt to.

This adaptation refers not only to the law and rhythm, but also to the mind.
