Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Lu Mingfei didn't really remember most of what the two people said. After all, he had just graduated from junior high school, but those three years felt like ten years ago to him.

Unable to participate in the conversation, Lu Mingfei simply echoed from the sidelines.

Lu Mingfei's actions clearly caught the attention of the two girls. Liu Miaomiao and Qiao Yiran both thought that they were so engrossed in their conversation that they neglected Lu Mingfei, which made him feel so uninvolved.

So Qiao Yiran stood up, very tactfully took out her phone from her skirt pocket, and said that she had suddenly remembered something, and asked the two of them to talk first, and that she would go out to make the call and then come back in.

The two of them knew, of course, that Qiao Yiran was creating space for them. After Qiao Yiran pretended to pick up the phone and leave, the two of them finally had some time alone together.

“See, you said I wanted to come today, so I came today. I kept my promise,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Tch..." Liu Miaomiao snorted sweetly, "I knew you wouldn't dare not come."

"Will there be any reward after I arrive?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Liu Miaomiao's almond-shaped eyes flickered, and she said with a light smile, "As a reward, I'll peel an orange and feed it to me."

Although Liu Miaomiao usually presents a gentle and considerate image to him, when Lu Mingfei saw her say such playful and slightly willful words, he suddenly felt that the little girl was actually quite cute when she said such things.

Without Qiao Yiran present, the two began to talk more boldly, and started whispering sweet nothings that were only between them.

After feeding Liu Miaomiao oranges, Lu Mingfei secretly took Liu Miaomiao's little hand and touched her little arm, and Liu Miaomiao did not dodge.

Only when Lu Mingfei touched her ticklish sensitive spots would Liu Miaomiao giggle and pull her hand back, then look at Lu Mingfei with a coquettish expression.

Although the time was short, both of them felt much better during this brief moment of intimate contact.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, when Qiao Yiran pretended to come in with her phone, that the two of them withdrew their hands, acting as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Yiran curled her lip in disdain.

You're an old married couple, why are you pretending to be so proper? It's like everyone doesn't know what little things you two do behind the scenes.

……

Chapter 165 A Single Hair

Although Qiao Yiran was very dissatisfied with Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei's behavior of treating her like an outsider, she was still somewhat surprised that the two of them dared to touch her inappropriately in the ward.

She knew Liu Miaomiao's personality best. Before, when she had a crush on Chu Zihang, she wouldn't even dare look him in the eye. Now, she actually dared to secretly be intimate with Lu Mingfei.

You should know that Liu Miaomiao's father is still outside the ward!

Can love really change a person's personality?

Qiao Yiran, a young girl, developed a great curiosity about love.

And Lu Mingfei too, he's too audacious! There's a time and place to flirt with someone's daughter! Doesn't he care if her parents see?

Qiao Yiran had no idea that Lu Mingfei was far bolder than she imagined.

After their joint visit in the afternoon, Lu Mingfei, taking advantage of his uncle and aunt being fast asleep, sneaked out alone again to raid Liu Miaomiao's place at night.

Since Lu Mingfei isn't staying at his rented apartment right now, Xia Mi won't be there as a third wheel tonight.

She quietly climbed into the room through the window, closed the window behind her, and just as she sat down by the hospital bed, Liu Miaomiao opened her beautiful big eyes and stared at Lu Mingfei.

"Why did you climb in through the window?" Liu Miaomiao asked reproachfully. "Didn't I say I left the door open for you?"

"I'm used to climbing through windows," Lu Mingfei chuckled. "Why aren't you asleep?"

"I've slept a lot during the day, so I won't sleep at night." Liu Miaomiao helped herself to sit up in bed.

The content of the nighttime visits was similar to that of the daytime visits, consisting mainly of talking and holding hands. Although the darkness of night provided some protection, Lu Mingfei did not do anything too inappropriate with Liu Miaomiao.

Meanwhile, Liu Miaomiao became even bolder in her flirting with Lu Mingfei. However, at least she didn't ask him any disastrous questions like she did last night.

Liu Miaomiao actually wanted to spend more time alone with Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei was worried that Liu Miaomiao was still sick and that staying up too late was not good for her.

So after spending two hours alone with Liu Miaomiao, Lu Mingfei ignored her reluctant gaze and forcibly pressed her onto the bed, tucking her in.

After coaxing Liu Miaomiao to sleep as if she were an angry person, Lu Mingfei left under the cover of night.

It's said that only a mental illness can be cured by a mental one. And with Lu Mingfei's company these past few days, Liu Miaomiao's condition has improved significantly.

By the third day, Liu Miaomiao not only stopped experiencing recurring low-grade fever, but the fatigue around her eyes had also lessened considerably.

The hospital tests showed that Liu Miaomiao's various health indicators had returned to normal levels. However, just to be on the safe side, Ji Ruyan still asked Liu Miaomiao to stay in the hospital for observation for another day.

As for Liu Miaomiao herself, she wanted to stay in the hospital longer, so she nodded and obeyed her mother's words.

After all, when she was in the hospital, she was a patient, and she could deceive herself and act spoiled and coquettish with Lu Mingfei.

But once she was discharged from the hospital, she had to face the harsh reality.

Ji Ruyan was unaware of her daughter's inner turmoil. She only noticed that her daughter's face, which had finally brightened a few days ago, suddenly fell down again. So she comforted her, saying:

"Don't look so gloomy. Smile more. See how your condition has improved since you started to feel better these past few days?"

As Ji Ruyan spoke, she handed the peeled apple to Liu Miaomiao.

Liu Miaomiao nodded and took the apple from Ji Ruyan's hand.

After the mother and daughter chatted for a while, the nurse came in and changed Liu Miaomiao's sheets and blankets. Liu Miaomiao also mentioned that she wanted to take a walk in the corridor to stretch her legs.

Ji Ruyan wanted to accompany her, but Liu Miaomiao shook her head and refused, saying she would just take a walk around. So Ji Ruyan sat in the ward, waiting for her daughter to return.

Just as the nurse finished collecting the old bedding and pillows and was about to change the sheets, Ji Ruyan suddenly paused and stopped the nurse.

The nurse didn't know what was going on, but she saw Ji Ruyan approach the bedside and slowly pick up a hair from Liu Miaomiao's pillow with her finger.

……

Lu Mingfei sneaked back to his uncle's house and, of course, took a nap first. He slept until almost noon before his aunt woke him up.

Just after lunch, Qiao Yiran sent him a text message inviting him to visit Liu Miaomiao together that afternoon. Lu Mingfei accepted, of course.

However, before visiting Liu Miaomiao, Lu Mingfei first went back to his rented apartment.

Firstly, he wanted to check on Xia Mi's condition, and secondly, he planned to pick up the suit he had sent to the dry cleaners today and return it to Xiao Tiannu.

Xia Mi was quite used to life without Lu Mingfei. She went into Lu Mingfei's master bedroom on her own, slept in his bed, used his computer, and even showed great annoyance at his sudden return.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the screen, wanting to see what Xia Mi was doing, but he didn't expect her to be watching anime. She was watching "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya," a new anime that came out in April 2006.

This anime can be considered a classic. Not only did it surpass masterpieces such as Code Geass, Fate/stay night, and Death Note in 2006 to become the year's most popular anime, but it also pioneered the circle-style anime genre.

In her past life, Xia Mi seemed to really like this anime and even cosplayed as the female protagonist, Haruhi Suzumiya. However, according to her, she actually plans to cosplay as Mikuru Asahina.

The reason why she couldn't cosplay it is that the character Asahina Mikuru is a big-breasted character, while Natsumi herself is flat-chested.

After greeting Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei changed into a brand new outfit and went out. After picking up his suit from the dry cleaners, he waited a while, and then Su Xiaoqiang's Audi A8 appeared at the entrance of the residential complex.

Su Xiaoqiang got out of the car in a hurry and took the paper bag containing the clothes from Lu Mingfei.

Su Xiaoqiang wore a very striking high ponytail today and looked quite dashing.

She wore a black hip-hop style long shirt on top and shorts that ended just an inch above her knees on the bottom. A Swarovski white gold necklace hung naturally around her slender and beautiful neck. She wore white shoes and white socks and carried a Desmo shoulder bag on one side.

She exudes a cool girl style, perfectly showcasing the arrogant and domineering princess aura of a young star.

Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take a second look, clicking his tongue in admiration: "Not bad, this outfit is quite pretty, did you change your style today?"

Upon being suddenly praised by Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang pursed her lips without showing any emotion, raised her head and said, "Do I need your praise?"

The little fairy's arrogant behavior was so natural and innocent, she seemed to be born with an arrogant and conceited nature. With her hands on her hips, you could tell that she was about to say something that was not what she really meant.

Lu Mingfei didn't make it clear, but the little girl's tightly pursed lips were barely able to contain her joy.

After catching the fallen Little Fairy that night, he was still a little dazed, and his feelings towards her seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

He originally planned to contact Su Xiaoqiang a few days later, but unexpectedly, the next morning, Xiaotiannv sent him a QQ message saying that he could find some time in the next couple of days to return the suit to her. That's why Lu Mingfei took the suit to the dry cleaners.

Although she probably wouldn't mind if he just returned it to the little fairy, he still needed to be mindful of such matters of etiquette.

After returning the suit, everything should be fine here. He was about to visit Liu Miaomiao. He was just about to say goodbye to Xiaotiannv before leaving when Su Xiaoqiang spoke up first.

"By the way, Lu Mingfei," Su Xiaoqiang said, "has something happened to Miaomiao recently?"

When Xiaotiannv mentioned it, Lu Mingfei realized that he hadn't told anyone in the class about Liu Miaomiao's illness. In fact, even he only found out about it from Qiao Yiran.

It's unclear whether Liu Miaomiao thought it wasn't a big deal and that's why she didn't tell anyone, or whether she wanted to keep it a secret.

"Why do you ask that?" Lu Mingfei asked Su Xiaoqiang.

“I’ve sent her a lot of messages these past few days, but she hasn’t replied or answered my calls.” Su Xiaoqiang pulled out her phone. “That’s why I was wondering if something had happened to her.”

“She’s been sick and hospitalized these past two days, so she probably hasn’t been checking her phone,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Sick?" Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback. "What kind of illness? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know how to explain Liu Miaomiao's symptoms, only saying that she had been running a fever for the past few days.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoqiang didn't dwell too much on Liu Miaomiao's specific symptoms.

After learning that Lu Mingfei was going to the hospital to visit Liu Miaomiao, Xiaotiannu waved her hand and threw her suit jacket onto the passenger seat of the car. Then she told Lu Mingfei that she wanted to go to the hospital to visit Liu Miaomiao together.

After thinking about it, Lu Mingfei readily agreed to the little fairy's request.

The little devil said something about the little girl saying that "a heart ailment needs a heart remedy," so he probably has a heart ailment.

Having more good friends visit her should help her recover.

And coincidentally, Su Xiaoqiang also has a car, so we can just take her car to the hospital.

Because they were delayed at Xiaotiannv's place, Qiao Yiran had already arrived at the hospital by the time Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang got there.

The ward was well soundproofed, and it was impossible to hear Qiao Yiran and Liu Miaomiao's conversation from the outside; only a muffled female voice could be heard.

However, looking into the ward through the glass window, one could clearly see the smile on Liu Miaomiao's face.

Lu Mingfei knocked on the door, and only after a barely audible "Come in" did he push the door open and enter.

"Mingfei, you're here!..."

Upon seeing that the person who entered was Lu Mingfei, Liu Miaomiao's already smiling face immediately radiated even greater joy.

But when she saw the figure following Lu Mingfei in, the smile on her face immediately froze.

"Miaomiao, I'm here too!" Su Xiaoqiang waved and greeted Liu Miaomiao, carrying a gift she had specially bought for her.

"Ah... Qiangqiang, you're here too! Welcome, welcome!"

The smile froze on Liu Miaomiao's face for only a few seconds before she immediately regained her original joyful and surprised expression.

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang actually noticed the change in Liu Miaomiao's expression.
