Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

But that doesn't make sense either. As far as he knew, the little girl's relatives should have left not long ago. Last week, he helped Liu Miaomiao make brown sugar ginger tea for a whole week.

"Let's go back to the classroom and take a look," Lu Mingfei said.

There's no use just thinking about it here. What's wrong with this little girl? Go back to the classroom and you'll find out.

"it is good."

Chen Wenwen nodded and quickened her pace to catch up with Lu Mingfei, walking together towards the teaching building. She was completely unaware that a gaze was following her the entire time.

……

After returning to the teaching building, Liu Miaomiao was first forcibly helped by Su Xiaoqiang to the infirmary.

The female school doctor who had examined Su Xiaoqiang during military training examined Liu Miaomiao and found no other illnesses. She had just been eating less recently, and her energy intake was already low. Coupled with the strenuous exercise she had just done, her blood sugar suddenly dropped.

Then he gave Liu Miaomiao two candies so she could replenish her sugar levels and go back to the classroom to rest.

Su Xiaoqiang went to the school store to buy food for Liu Miaomiao.

Watching Su Xiaoqiang's hurried departure, Liu Miaomiao closed her eyes and weakly curled her lips.

Actually, she felt much better after eating those two candies, but Qiangqiang still insisted on going to the convenience store to buy herself something to eat. She's quite adorable in these stubborn situations.

The feeling of being cared for by her good friends slightly filled the void in Liu Miaomiao's heart recently.

However, if my physical discomfort had come a little later, would it have been Mingfei who took me to the infirmary?

Recalling the time Lu Mingfei carried Su Xiaoqiang to the infirmary during military training, Liu Miaomiao suddenly felt a little sullen again.

I haven't gone to see Lu Mingfei these past two days, but he can come to see me too.

I won't ignore him.

Although Yi Ran repeatedly told herself to hold back for the next few days, if he took the initiative to come to her, it shouldn't be considered a violation for her to talk to him, right?

Although Liu Miaomiao had no dating experience, she was still a teenage girl and had read quite a few romance novels.

In a novel, if the female protagonist suddenly ignores the male protagonist, the male protagonist should be very anxious to find her.

But Mingfei not only didn't come looking for him, he also didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Liu Miaomiao gradually became irritated.

Could it be that Mingfei actually doesn't like...?

"Liu Miaomiao? Are you asleep?"

Just as an uneasy thought flashed through Liu Miaomiao's mind, the familiar male voice she had been longing for suddenly rang in her ears.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's somewhat anxious face came into view when I looked up.

Lu Mingfei's appearance was so sudden that Liu Miaomiao was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses. She didn't even notice that Chen Wenwen was following behind Lu Mingfei.

"Ming, Mingfei, what happened to you..."

"I heard from Chen Wenwen that you seemed to be feeling unwell and went back to the classroom, so I came to see you."

Lu Mingfei carefully examined Liu Miaomiao's face. Her pretty little face was a bit pale, and her lips were slightly purplish, but otherwise there seemed to be nothing unusual.

However, Lu Mingfei was still worried. "Are you alright? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

Upon hearing the words "infirmary," Liu Miaomiao instantly recalled the scene of Lu Mingfei carrying Su Xiaoqiang in his arms, and her heart suddenly pounded, feeling a little restless.

However, Liu Miaomiao quickly suppressed this wicked thought. How could she possibly go back to the infirmary just because she wanted to be carried in a princess carry by Ming Fei?

"No need." Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips and waved her hand. "Qiangqiang already took me there."

Hearing Liu Miaomiao say that she had already been to the infirmary, Lu Mingfei felt a little relieved. Since she had returned from the infirmary, there should be nothing wrong with her body.

"What did the school doctor say?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Teacher Chen said that I just had low blood sugar because I exercised too vigorously. She gave me two candies and told me to rest for a while after eating them."

"That's it."

Lu Mingfei let out a short sigh. He remembered that Liu Miaomiao had been dieting recently because of the school anniversary celebration, only eating a spoonful or two of rice for lunch. No wonder she had low blood sugar from eating so little every day.

"By the way, where's Su Xiaoqiang?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The Little Fairy should have returned with Liu Miaomiao, but he didn't see her.

"She said she wanted to buy me some snacks to replenish my energy, so she went to the convenience store by herself," Liu Miaomiao said with a smile.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's relieved expression, her previously somewhat disappointed mood instantly lifted.

Talking to someone you like, being worried about by someone you like—sometimes happiness is that simple.

Before she knew it, Liu Miaomiao had forgotten that she was supposed to keep her distance from Lu Mingfei, and started chatting with him naturally as usual.

"By the way, is there anything else you wanted to see me about?"

Only then did Liu Miaomiao notice Chen Wenwen, who had been standing behind Lu Mingfei, and asked.

"Oh yes."

Lu Mingfei had been so preoccupied with the little girl's health that he forgot he had other business to discuss with her.

"There is indeed one more thing."

Lu Mingfei said, "It's about the school anniversary performance."

……

Many readers have commented that the recent content has been mostly slice-of-life and are wondering when the battle scenes will begin.

This book primarily focuses on slice-of-life romance, though battle scenes are also present, but they are interspersed appropriately. After all, it's currently set in the first year of high school, and some major plot points from the original Dragon Raja novel haven't even begun yet.

The most recent battle scene will likely be in the middle to later part of Su Xiaoqiang's route. In the next Su Xiaoqiang storyline after the banquet scene where she pretends to be Su Xiaoqiang's boyfriend, a battle scene will be introduced and some of the Dragon Clan's worldview will be laid out.

Thank you for your support, fellow readers.

Chapter 127 Side Story: Xia Mi's Christmas Strategy (Part 1)

God knows why the Dragon King would catch a bad cold!

Lu Mingfei took the thermometer out of Xia Mi's warm armpit and spun it up to the light bulb. Xia Mi stretched half an arm out from under the covers, shielding her eyes from the glaring light with her small hand, while stubbornly pursing her lips:

"What's the temperature...?"

“39.1 degrees.” Lu Mingfei looked at the mercury scale and said expressionlessly, “It was 38.9 degrees an hour ago, which is 0.2 degrees higher than before.”

"Oh no! I was planning to go see the Christmas party tonight!"

Xia Mi, curled up in the blankets, stretched out her two fair and delicate arms and waved them in protest like the workers striking at the Chicago train station. The next moment, Lu Mingfei pressed her down and pushed her back into the blankets.

"You can forget about performing at the gala."

Lu Mingfei grasped Xia Mi's soft, boneless arm and tucked it back into the blanket without saying a word. "This fever probably won't go down anytime soon. I can only have Miaomiao and the others take some pictures of you and bring them back to you."

After tucking Xia Mi back into bed, Lu Mingfei flicked the mercury from the thermometer in his hand, put it back in the thermometer box, stored it away, and then placed it under Xia Mi's pillow.

"Am I the only one at home?" Xia Mi's flushed face was half-hidden under the blankets, revealing a pair of half-open golden eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she lowered her eyelashes.

"I won't go to the party either; I'll stay home with you."

Lu Mingfei ruffled Xia Mi's hair. Xia Mi curled up like a kitten, closed her eyes, and looked so comfortable she almost purred.

"Cover yourself up and get some sleep. I'll come back in an hour to take your temperature again."

"Ah."

Little Dragon Girl nodded gently.

With a click, the light went out, and darkness fell. Lu Mingfei was bathed in the light streaming in from outside. Xia Mi strained her eyes, watching the figure retreat outside the door. The light carefully withdrew along with the closing door.

The night is all round.

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Xia Mi turned over and stopped looking in the direction of the door.

Before her was a huge bay window, Lu Mingfei's room, Lu Mingfei's bed, the blankets still faintly scented with men's shower gel. The curtains weren't drawn, and on the windowsill sat several Rilakkuma-patterned cushions and a Rilakkuma plush toy. She had brought all of these from her home in Beijing.

She would often lean against these cushions and cuddle her dolls to bother Lu Mingfei. Sometimes she would sneak into this room alone and sit on the windowsill of the bay window.

This window is a bit smaller than the one in her BJ home, but it lets in the same sunset in the evening.

When playing Xia Mi becomes a habit, the boundary between dragon nature and human nature becomes blurred. It's unclear whether this blurring happens instantly or is a gradual process.

All she knew was that sometimes she couldn't tell whether she was herself or He.

On Christmas Eve, snowflakes drifted outside the window. The snow in the south was light, unlike in Beijing, where it would fall in piles of white paper scraps, like high school seniors tearing up books and throwing them down during graduation season. She stared at the scene for a while, then reached up to touch her neck. It was still very hot, so she withdrew her hand.

Xia Mi closed her eyes and thought she must be the worst Dragon King in history.

He tried to seduce someone, but ended up getting himself involved; he dragged someone swimming in winter, but ended up getting a fever himself.

She didn't know if any other dragons had ever developed feelings for a human; this was certainly the first time for her. But with the Dragon King suffering from a high fever, she felt she must be an absolute rarity.

Although he claims to be the smartest among the four monarchs, and has invested all his attribute points in intelligence, his physical condition shouldn't be that bad! After transforming into a dragon, his body can still carry a train without any problem. It's unlikely that he would develop a high fever after soaking in the Chun Shen River for a few minutes at minus five degrees Celsius.

She frowned, wanting to sigh, but felt that it wouldn't be befit the dignified demeanor of a dragon king, so she held her breath and continued to fight against her inner turmoil. Her breathing gradually became heavy before returning to a steady rhythm.

She fell asleep.

……

Only when it snows do you feel that Christmas is truly Christmas.

Lu Mingfei pulled up a stool and sat on the balcony, looking at the snow through the balcony's French windows, holding a cup of hot milk in his hands.

He rented this house when he was in his first year of high school, and he didn't return it when he went to Beijing to study preparatory classes with Su Xiaoqiang and the others in his second year of high school. So he simply bought it.

The room wasn't small, but it was a bit cramped for five people, so they had to take turns sleeping in it. Sometimes Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao slept together, and sometimes Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao slept together. Other times, other girls would come over, and since the girls were very close, he had to give up the master bedroom and sleep on the sofa outside by himself.

The milk gradually cooled down, and he took a sip; it was now at the perfect temperature to drink.

He doesn't actually drink milk, but Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen do, and he makes milk for them every night; it's become a muscle memory for him.

After comforting Xia Mi to sleep, he habitually made some milk. Only after finishing did he remember that Liu Miaomiao and the others had gone out tonight to the Shilan Middle School Christmas party. Liu Miaomiao was to be the final performer at the party, playing a solo piano piece called "The Last Wedding." Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen, as honorary alumni, accompanied her.

Little Fairy is the only one of the three who doesn't drink milk. She likes to drink alcohol, and her refrigerator is full of all kinds of foreign liquor that she buys with a splurge, from red wine to champagne to tequila, including French, Belgian, and German brands.

He told Su Xiaoqiang that they wouldn't be back for long, just a few days to perform at the Christmas party as outstanding alumni, and then they'd have to go back to Beijing to continue their preparatory studies. But Xiaotian pouted and said the wine wouldn't spoil, and it wouldn't matter if they bought too much. Besides, they'd stay here every year when they came back, so they could just store it.

Before she finished her milk, the laptop on the dining table started beeping, and the girl in the baseball cap flickered slightly.

Chen Wenwen sent me several photos. The first was a candid shot of Xiao Tiannv's profile; the next was Su Xiaoqiang, who was haughtily hiding from the camera; then came several pretty selfies of Chen Wenwen herself, and a photo of her with Su Xiaoqiang. There were also some photos with girls whose names I didn't know but whose faces looked somewhat familiar. They were probably friends they had met at Shilan Middle School.
