Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Xia Mi subtly withdrew her jade-like feet from beside Lu Mingfei, sat cross-legged, and shrugged, saying, "So Liu Miaomiao's memories have returned? But that's quite normal."

Is this normal?

“That’s normal.” Xia Mi spread her hands. “You should know the five elements of alchemy, right? Besides wind, water, fire, and earth, there is also spirit. Aristotle called it ‘ether,’ and in ancient China, you regarded the phenomena caused by this element as the work of ghosts and spirits. The ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ is rich in spirit elements.”

“I know that,” Lu Mingfei nodded. “Does this have anything to do with Liu Miaomiao regaining her memories?”

Xia Mi shrugged. "The principle behind making Liu Miaomiao forget the memory of the Imperial Capital subway was that I used my mental power to block that memory from her. And now I've used all my power to block that 'Gungnir Gungnir,' so that's probably why the blocking of Liu Miaomiao's memory has failed."

"I see."

Lu Mingfei nodded. After hearing Xia Mi's explanation, he understood why Liu Miaomiao's memories had suddenly returned.

However, Lu Mingfei wasn't sure if the timing of this memory recovery was good or not, but judging from the ending, it seemed alright?

“Speaking of which,” Xia Mi suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"I thought you weren't coming back tonight, Senior Brother?" Xia Mi gripped his ankle, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "After all, you just accepted a pretty girl's confession, shouldn't you strike while the iron is hot and have a romantic get-together?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, thinking to himself, "So it really is true that dragons are inherently lustful? So you're the counterpart to lust in the Seven Deadly Sins?"

If others saw this incredibly pure and adorable face, and heard her using such a sweet smile that seemed to radiate sunshine to utter such filthy words, they would surely be disillusioned, right?

Lu Mingfei ignored her, turned around, found a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Who knew what outrageous topics this lustful dragon king would bring up if they continued talking? Xia Mi also pouted and lay back down on the sofa to read "Kiki's Delivery Service."

……

Although the National Day holiday was long, it was no different from any other day for Lu Mingfei.

I ate and slept at my uncle's house, did my homework in the evenings, and occasionally ran errands for my aunt. The holiday passed by day by day.

The class group chat is always full of photos shared by people, all taken during their travels. It seems that everyone except him, the sick Liu Miaomiao, Xiaotiannv, and Chen Wenwen has gone on a trip.

Liu Miaomiao was discharged from the hospital the day after the two confirmed their relationship. However, since she had just recovered, she did not go out and stayed at home to recuperate.

She usually goes on QQ frequently and chats with him about random things, but she's suddenly stopped contacting him these past few days for some reason. Lu Mingfei thinks he might know the reason, but he's not sure if it's the reason he's thinking of.

Chen Wenwen has been chatting with him frequently on QQ lately, mainly asking Lu Mingfei questions related to creating spreadsheets.

Lin Huihui somehow got his QQ number and added him on QQ. Occasionally, she would log in and share some lame jokes with him.

Aside from these things, the biggest change in Lu Mingfei's daily life is that he now sets aside time every night to call his new girlfriend, Liu Miaomiao.

As his phone vibrated quietly in his pocket, Lu Mingfei immediately got out of bed, walked through the living room to the balcony, leaving only Lu Mingze (the obese version) staring at him menacingly behind him.

The moment he closed the balcony door, Lu Mingfei vaguely heard Lu Mingze (the obese version) calling out.

"Mom, my brother must be in love..."

Lu Mingfei ignored it and quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket. The moment the call connected, a cute and sweet female voice came from the other end of the line:

"Hey Mingfei, good evening..."

The balcony in late summer and early autumn still retains some of the sweltering heat of the summer, but Liu Miaomiao's voice is like a spring breeze in this hot night, quietly brushing away the heat and leaving only a cool spring feeling in the heart.

It turns out that not only was this Lu Mingfei's first relationship, but Liu Miaomiao also had no dating experience. So every time they talked on the phone, Liu Miaomiao would greet Lu Mingfei with the utmost politeness.

If I call in the morning, I'll say good morning; if I call in the evening, I'll say good evening.

Only after exchanging greetings will we begin to get down to business.

While it's called serious business, it's really just some everyday events that happened that day.

For example, Dad secretly drove Mom's car and got it scratched, and Mom found out; the family dog ​​destroyed the house again; or she practiced piano until her fingers hurt.

"My fingers really hurt from playing the piano!"

Liu Miaomiao said coquettishly, her tone tinged with grievance.

Speaking of which, I've heard that girls who practice musical instruments for a long time will develop calluses on their hands. But Lu Mingfei has held Liu Miaomiao's hand many times, and every finger is smooth and tender. He doesn't know if it's because she takes good care of it or what.

Lu Mingfei responded gently:

"Then you should practice for a shorter time. You've only just recovered from your illness, so it's not suitable for you to practice for too long."

"no!"

Lu Mingfei could picture Liu Miaomiao shaking her head with her lips pursed on the other end of the phone, looking adorable.

"The school anniversary is coming up soon, so I definitely have to make the most of my time to practice. If I don't practice well and make a mistake on stage, how embarrassing would that be! You have no idea how much pressure I'm under."

“But if you overwork yourself and get sick, I’ll feel bad for you,” Lu Mingfei said.

Liu Miaomiao's voice paused noticeably on the other end of the phone, then she replied sweetly, "Then, then I'll practice for a little less time..."

This conversation sounds empty and boring, as if it has no content, but both of them wish it could go on for a while longer.

However, Liu Miaomiao's time was obviously not very flexible. After chatting for about ten minutes, Liu Miaomiao suddenly said, looking aggrieved:

"It seems like my mom is here..."

After saying goodnight to each other, the two reluctantly hung up the phone.

……

Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second-to-last day of the National Day holiday, and most people who went on vacation have returned today.

When Lu Mingfei woke up early in the morning, he received several Mid-Autumn Festival greetings via text message. He opened his phone, and the first message wasn't from Liu Miaomiao.

Chu Zihang: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Five simple words, no beginning or end, clean and concise. Quite typical of the expressionless senior.

Lu Mingfei replied: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Senior Brother."

Half a minute later, Lu Mingfei received a reply from his expressionless senior brother: "Okay."

The second text message wasn't from Liu Miaomiao either, but from an international number. Lu Mingfei glanced at the area code; it was from Amei Ricken. Who on earth would send him a Mid-Autumn Festival greeting from halfway around the world?

The moment Lu Mingfei opened the text message and saw its contents, he knew who had sent it.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brother! By the way, brother, do you know..."

The rest was a long string of information about the Mid-Autumn Festival, including some obscure facts, which is something only Lu Mingze would frequently share.

Out of concern for his younger brother, Lu Mingfei replied, "Read."

The third text message was from Liu Miaomiao.

"Mingfei, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! After lunch, could you come to the entrance of my apartment complex? I'll bring you a few mooncakes. By the way, do you know my address?"

Although it was just a simple greeting, the text message seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.

After exchanging several sweet messages with Liu Miaomiao, Lu Mingfei turned to the fourth text message.

The fourth message was from Chen Wenwen, and its content was almost identical to that of the expressionless senior brother, except that Lu Mingfei's name was added before the blessing. This immediately softened the tone of the message.

After replying to all the text messages, Lu Mingfei got up to wash up.

It's already past nine in the morning. Liu Miaomiao lives in the California Sunshine residential complex, which is quite far from her uncle's. If she doesn't take a taxi, she'll just grab a quick breakfast downstairs and then head out.

Although it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, we don't actually have a holiday today. The Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival holidays were only made public in 2008. My uncle and aunt still have to work, so our family dinner with them won't start until tonight.

After buying two steamed buns, Lu Mingfei boarded the bus heading to Liu Miaomiao's house.

Actually, Lu Mingfei doesn't care about the taxi fare, but since he doesn't have anything to do during the day, he might as well save a little money.

After all, the more money he saves now, the more capital he'll have for the WCG competition in November.

Wait, WCG?

Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned. No wonder he felt something was missing this morning. It turned out that he was missing Xiaotiannv's Mid-Autumn Festival text message.

Of the four congratulatory text messages, not one was from that guy.

However, the thought of Xiao Tiannv stirred up some unease in Lu Mingfei's heart. Although Lu Mingfei had promised Liu Miaomiao not to reveal their romantic relationship in front of their classmates, she still wanted to maintain the relationship between the three of them.

However, once certain things are said, it's hard not to feel guilty.

He used to deceive himself by treating the little fairy as a brother, and the little fairy probably treated him as a brother too. But once he realized his true feelings, it became difficult for them to get along as freely as before.

The young lady probably didn't send him a congratulatory text message because she wanted to avoid suspicion. So he should also avoid suspicion.

Damn it, whatever!

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, typed a few words on his phone, selected the contact, and sent it.

Why should we avoid suspicion? As long as we have a clear conscience, why should we care what others say? Back when Nono was dating Caesar, didn't he chat with Nono about random things every day?

It's not like if one person is in a relationship, we can't be friends. If Little Fairy is too shy to send a text message, then she'll just send one herself!

Within seconds of sending the text message, before Lu Mingfei could even turn off his screen, he received a reply from Little Fairy:

"Yes, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you too."

……

Chapter 170 The Little Heavenly Maiden's Attitude

When they arrived at the entrance of the California Sunshine residential complex, Lu Mingfei sent a text message to Liu Miaomiao.

"I'll be there soon," Liu Miaomiao replied.

A few minutes later, Liu Miaomiao, wearing a casual dress, walked out of the community gate. After shaking her head for a while, she finally saw Lu Mingfei and then ran over in her slippers.

"Here, these are Suzhou-style mooncakes. My family bought them from Lingyin Temple. I specially saved a pack for you." Liu Miaomiao handed the bag to Lu Mingfei. "Mingfei, have you tried them?"

Suzhou-style mooncakes?

Lu Mingfei felt there was something strange about the name.

The packaging inside the bag was simple; the mooncake was wrapped in a cylindrical shape with paper wrapping, and oil stains seeped out from the paper wrapping.

Lu Mingfei had never eaten Suzhou-style mooncakes before, but he had heard a few people in his class mention them. He had heard that the fillings for the mooncakes there were made with fresh meat, but Lu Mingfei couldn't imagine what they tasted like.

Of course, sending mooncakes was just an excuse; the two of them simply wanted a reason to meet.

However, Liu Miaomiao had only made up an excuse to leave home and couldn't stay out for too long, so the two didn't linger for long. After hugging and cuddling for a while, Liu Miaomiao shyly slipped out of Lu Mingfei's embrace and tiptoed into the residential area.

Liu Yue, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, saw his daughter return home with her ears red and a beaming face. He naturally knew who she had been seeing and sighed inwardly. He thought to himself, "The saying 'a daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home' is really true."
