Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

After sneaking out of the ward, things became much easier. Getting into a private hospital was difficult, but getting out was easy. The hospital security guards weren't like the doctors; they couldn't tell which patient was which.

Lu Mingfei casually told the security guard he already knew, "This is his girlfriend who's been in the hospital. After taking her out for a walk, the security guard readily let Lu Mingfei pass."

Hearing Lu Mingfei tell others that she was his "girlfriend," Liu Miaomiao felt a mix of shyness and joy.

The two walked out of the hospital and randomly chose a direction to go.

Perhaps because it was so late, there were hardly any people around.

Only when passing by a 177 store did Liu Miaomiao, who had been on a diet, whine that she was hungry.

Then Lu Mingfei immediately bought her a bowl of oden and two bottles of water.

The two chatted as they walked, talking about mundane, trivial things. Although the things themselves weren't particularly interesting, because they were talking to each other, they could find great enjoyment even in the most ordinary daily matters.

As they wandered around, the two of them ended up near a small community garden, where simple fitness equipment was set up on the open ground all around.

Although Liu Miaomiao had sometimes seen these gadgets on the street, she had never tried them. She walked to a device that looked like a treadmill, placed her small feet against two large rectangular metal plates, and swung her long, straight legs back and forth, becoming completely engrossed in the game.

Lu Mingfei stood next to her, swinging his legs along with her.

"correct!"

As she swayed, Liu Miaomiao suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"Not long before you came, Qiangqiang came to see me," Liu Miaomiao said softly.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. The Little Celestial Maiden had come before me? What was she doing here so late?

Is it because of that incident this morning when she felt that Liu Miaomiao was a bit unresponsive to her?

Lu Mingfei also wanted to find an opportunity to ask Liu Miaomiao about this matter, but the two of them had been talking about other things along the way, and there hadn't been a good opportunity.

I didn't expect that the little fairy had already come.

"She still came to visit you so late?" Lu Mingfei didn't choose to get straight to the point, but instead wanted to ask Su Xiaoqiang what she had come to see Liu Miaomiao for.

"Yes, they also brought me a beautiful bunch of fragrant lilies, which I put in the vase by my bedside," Liu Miaomiao said.

"Oh oh."

"And I also saw you and Qiangqiang at the banquet on Saturday night."

Lu Mingfei's heart suddenly sank, as if he had been thrown into the icy sea of ​​the Antarctic Circle, feeling utterly cold.

That little brat actually saw me that day? How did she see me? Was she also at the event that day?

It's not impossible; after all, her family is considered a well-known middle-class family in this city, so it's normal for her to be invited to the banquet that day. But why didn't I see her that day?

And Lu Mingze said, "A mental illness requires a mental cure." Could this mental illness refer to this very incident? The culprit is actually myself?

Lu Mingfei was still nervously pondering how to explain this to Liu Miaomiao when Liu Miaomiao burst out laughing first.

"Look how nervous you are. I actually know everything! I've cleared up the misunderstanding. Qiangqiang came to me to explain what happened at the ball. I already know that you were pretending to be her, her male... shield, and helping her deal with the men at the banquet."

The mere mention of the word "boyfriend" made Liu Miaomiao feel uncomfortable, so she chose to avoid it and used a different, more subtle term.

Lu Mingfei never expected that the seemingly carefree and indifferent Xiao Tiannv would actually have a side that is both fierce and gentle.

Little Fairy probably figured out why Miaomiao might be distancing herself from her, so she decisively came to Miaomiao to explain the matter.

Lu Mingfei unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down the water, feeling a slight sense of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Tiannv had already made things clear. From his perspective, it was really difficult to explain this to the little girl.

Who knew that the next moment, Liu Miaomiao would immediately add a shocking statement: "Also, Mingfei, do you know that Qiangqiang actually likes you too?"

"puff!!!"

Lu Mingfei spat out all the water in his mouth, almost choking to death from Liu Miaomiao's words.

No? Su Xiaoqiang likes me? What's going on here? Is there really something wrong with My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected?

In the past, this would have been a chaotic situation for Lu Mingfei, but having lived three lifetimes, he quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of surprise and asked Liu Miaomiao in a tone tinged with only slight astonishment:

"Miaomiao, how did you know?"

Liu Miaomiao jumped off the equipment, looked up at the starry sky in front of her, and then truthfully told Lu Mingfei, who had also jumped down, what had happened when Su Xiaoqiang came to see her.

Of course, the focus was still on the questions she asked Su Xiaoqiang, how Su Xiaoqiang answered them, and what kind of reaction he gave.

“Mingfei, you should understand, right? A girl as carefree as Qiangqiang would definitely deny it if she didn’t like you, right? But she said she didn’t know. Actually, I knew from her reaction that she must like you, even without her saying it.”

Liu Miaomiao paused for a moment, then continued:

"Actually, I hesitated for a long time about whether to tell you this. Because liking you is Qiangqiang's own business, I don't think I have the right to speak for her. In fact, Qiangqiang may never tell you this in her whole life, so I just pretended not to know and naturally did intimate things with you in front of her as usual."

"But I still can't do it."

Liu Miaomiao said softly, "I thought about it. If the person I like and my friend were being all lovey-dovey right in front of me, oblivious to everyone else, and I had to smile and give my blessings, I would feel terrible. I don't want to feel terrible, so I don't want Qiangqiang to feel terrible either. So I thought, even if Qiangqiang might not tell you, I still want you to know about this."

"Because I misunderstood what happened between you and Qiangqiang before, I called my mom tonight to talk about transferring schools. I originally wanted to help you two."

"But suddenly I feel so unwilling. Even if the other party is Qiangqiang, I don't want to give you to her."

Whether it was the darkness of night or the effects of his illness, Lu Mingfei had no idea that Liu Miaomiao would say something that sounded like a confession to him at this moment.

However, Liu Miaomiao's actions became even bolder the next moment. She grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and pressed it against her soft, spring-like chest, then placed her own hand on Lu Mingfei's left atrium.

The two people's heartbeats were transmitted to each other through the touch of their fingertips.

"I want to ask you that question again." Liu Miaomiao looked up, staring intently at Lu Mingfei, and said, "If you had to choose between me and Qiangqiang as your girlfriend, who would you choose?"

……

There will be another chapter later, making up for yesterday's.

Chapter 168 The Change in Relationships (Bonus Chapter)

"If you had to choose between me and Qiangqiang as your girlfriend, who would you choose?"

Liu Miaomiao's beautiful eyes met Lu Mingfei's gaze directly, and she said solemnly, "You can't lie."

Some things shouldn't be said lightly, but once they are, they can't be taken back. Liu Miaomiao had already put it this way, and Lu Mingfei knew he could no longer evade the issue as he had done before.

He had faced this choice before; between Chen Wenwen and Nuonuo, he decisively chose Nuonuo. But Liu Miaomiao is not Chen Wenwen, and Su Xiaoqiang is not Nuonuo. They may share some similarities in personality, but they are completely different people.

And of course I should choose the little girl. She's beautiful, talented, and from a great family. She even gave me my first birthday cake ever.

Although you always used the excuse that "marriage between a mixed-race person and a normal person wouldn't be happy" to avoid knowing your feelings for Liu Miaomiao, you actually knew all along that you liked her too, didn't you?

Honestly, no guy could resist Liu Miaomiao's advances, right?

As for the little fairy, you probably only see her as a buddy.

but……

Seeing that Lu Mingfei remained silent, Liu Miaomiao nodded and said, "This question seems a bit difficult for you."

As she spoke, she lightly turned around and prepared to leave, her toes barely touching the ground.

But the next moment, her hand was grabbed by a large and strong wrist. Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, she was pulled into someone's arms.

"I've already thought about it."

Liu Miaomiao stared blankly at Lu Mingfei's face. It seemed that she had never seen him with such a serious and earnest expression since she had known him.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and continued, "One thing I can confirm is that I like you. If I had to choose between the two of you, I think I would choose you."

Under the moonlight, Liu Miaomiao's eyes seemed dazed. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, their heartbeats, breaths, and gazes intertwined.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly as he continued:

"But one thing I can't deny is that I think I also have a bit of a crush on Su Xiaoqiang."

"Actually, I never thought I would like Su Xiaoqiang. But the moment you asked me that question, I started to think about my feelings for both of you."

"I can't be sure if I like Su Xiaoqiang. But you said that if someone doesn't know whether they like another person, then they like that person. So, I guess I like Su Xiaoqiang too. I can't lie to my feelings."

Liu Miaomiao blinked her eyes, which were faintly misty with tears.

I don't know when it happened, but Lu Mingfei has quietly grown so tall. Maybe he's also slowly growing and changing in ways I can't see?

He was so tall that even she, who was only 1.6 meters tall, could only barely touch the top of Lu Mingfei's heart.

Liu Miaomiao pressed against Lu Mingfei's chest, feeling it for a while before saying, "This seems to be your true feeling!"

"probably."

She reached out and gently poked near Lu Mingfei's heart with her finger, then lowered her voice and said:

"Lu Mingfei, you're really greedy, liking two girls at the same time. And both girls happen to like you too. Do you even know how many people like me and Qiangqiang?"

"And even in this kind of atmosphere, you didn't even bother to lie. You actually just honestly told the truth. No girl would agree to have the guy she likes like two girls at the same time, right?"

She muttered in a hurt voice, "I should have known better than to like you!"

Then she immediately added, "No! I shouldn't have invited you to join the same graduation trip group as me on the day we took our junior high graduation photo."

Lu Mingfei didn't answer, but just held Liu Miaomiao in his arms. Ignoring their conversation and facial expressions, the scene resembled a loving couple embracing under the moonlight.

It wasn't that Lu Mingfei didn't have things he wanted to say to Liu Miaomiao, but sometimes not answering is precisely the best answer.

After Liu Miaomiao finished speaking, she lifted her head from Lu Mingfei's embrace and punched his firm chest hard, looking a little angry:

"I'll ask you one more question, so tell me the truth!"

Liu Miaomiao raised her face and said indignantly.

"what is the problem?"

How many girls have you actually liked?

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at Liu Miaomiao, thinking, "Hasn't this issue already been resolved? The female lead's story should be a happy ending now; all that's left is for the male and female leads to kiss. Everything is perfect, just waiting for them to enter the bridal chamber and live happily ever after."

Why did Liu Miaomiao suddenly change the subject and return to the same deadly question as at the beginning?

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a long time, but couldn't withstand Liu Miaomiao's clear gaze, so he could only say ambiguously, "Three or four?"

Liu Miaomiao's eyes widened: "Besides Qiangqiang, is there anyone else?"

"They're all things I liked a long time ago! I promise!" Lu Mingfei quickly said, trying to salvage the situation.

"Even earlier than junior high?"

"Even earlier than junior high!"
