Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Lu Mingfei carried the bag of mooncakes back to his own home first. It was still early for the evening's dinner party, so he planned to feed the lustful dragon girl first.

Xia Mi's spirits were surprisingly good; who knows if her previous long sleep had made her sleep through the rest of the period? She stayed up until the wee hours every night, yet she was still full of energy during the day.

When Lu Mingfei placed the mooncakes in front of Xia Mi, this lustful dragon girl immediately transformed into a gluttonous dragon girl.

……

The 66th floor of the Promontory International Hotel features floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views on all four sides. This floor houses the Promontory International Hotel's own restaurant, which has previously received two Michelin stars.

Mai Shude and Su Enxi sat in the east-facing window seats, which offered a panoramic view of half the river. Both were dressed in expensive uniforms and looked stunning even without makeup.

The two beauties sat at the same table, and the well-dressed men around them had already pulled out their business cards from their pockets, eager to make a move, but none of them dared to actually get close to them.

Besides being deterred by Mai Shude's aloof and unapproachable demeanor, another reason was that these two beauties were actually using pure silver knives and forks... to cut mooncakes.

"So, the little white rabbit chose Liu Miaomiao?"

Mai Shude put a quarter of a fresh meat mooncake into her mouth and chewed it gently. The salty and sweet taste made her frown.

"Hasn't the boss been saying lately that he's going to build a harem for Little White Rabbit? We've already finished Liu Miaomiao's main storyline, how can this harem still go on?"

"right?"

This is Su Enxi's third mooncake. Although pure meat mooncakes sound strange, they inexplicably suit her taste.

The flaky pastry spilled onto the porcelain plate, like moonlight scattering across the earth in a beautiful scene.

"Who knows what the boss is thinking? Originally, he just wanted us to keep a close eye on Lu Mingfei. Then one day, he suddenly had a brainwave and said he wanted us to help Lu Mingfei build a harem. He even named a few female leads. Maybe the current developments are part of the boss's plan?"

Thinking about what her boss had suddenly said a few months ago, Su Enxi felt disillusioned.

If Su Enxi hadn't been so familiar with her boss's micro-expressions and the indelible authority he exuded, she would have almost thought her boss had been logged into from another location.

"If Lu Mingfei really starts a harem, wouldn't the boss send you to be the head maid in Lu Mingfei's harem?" Shude Mai joked.

"I don't care," Su Enxi shrugged. "I'm just a maid in this house anyway. What difference would it make if I became Lu Mingfei's maid?"

As she spoke, Su Enxi revealed a scheming smile, sizing up Jiu De Mai from head to toe:

"You do have long legs, but you're much more dangerous than me. You look so pitiful, if I were Lu Mingfei, I wouldn't let you go. I hope you don't end up in Lu Mingfei's harem too?"

Mai rolled her eyes, and with the precision of a knife, she stabbed out the remaining half of the mooncake from Su Enxi's plate and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Ah, that's mine!" Su Enxi bared her teeth and brandished her claws at Jiu Demai.

"If you like being so talkative!" Mai Shude replied with a cold laugh.

So the restaurant at the Preux International Hotel became a playground for children playing hide-and-seek, where slender, graceful girls in luxurious gowns ran and threw napkins, past tables, past bars, and past waiters in suits.

The guests present stared in disbelief as the two played children's games in the restaurant, and for a moment they were reminded of their own long-lost childlike innocence.

……

Chen Wenwen pressed the Enter key on the keyboard and sent the email.

During the latter half of the National Day holiday, she stayed at home working on the latest chapter of her novel, "On the Fallen Lu Mingfei and His Life of Walking on Thin Ice."

Because she had been busy with student council affairs recently, she delayed sending the manuscript of this novel, which was supposed to be updated weekly, to Lao Lei, the forum administrator who had entrusted her with the task, for two weeks.

The latest episode has reached a social dance party where Lu Mingfei dances with Liu Miaomiao's best friend, Su Xiaoqiang, and they realize they have feelings for each other.

The outline was provided by the other party, but Chen Wenwen also added some of her own additions to it.

For example, Lu Mingfei is very gentle and often lends a helping hand to people in need; he is very helpful. Many girls have been helped by Lu Mingfei and have developed feelings for him as a result.

It is because of these wonderful qualities that he is able to win the hearts of the heroines.

But who will Lu Mingfei end up with?

When I first took over this article, the story was still about Liu Miaomiao, who was the only female lead. So Chen Wenwen herself was a staunch supporter of the Lu-Liu pairing.

Moreover, she often sees Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao interacting in class. As a fan of Lu Mingfei, she gets to enjoy their interactions every day, which is incredibly satisfying.

However, with the addition of a new female lead, Su Xiaoqiang, the entire plot became unpredictable.

The gentle and considerate Liu Miaomiao is a typical "white moonlight" girl, while the lively and proud Su Xiaoqiang is a stunning red rose.

Although she felt she was still on Lu Liu's side, Su Xiaoqiang's proud and aloof demeanor was also quite adorable!

Thinking about how the plot would develop, Chen Wenwen sighed, wondering if the client who commissioned the novel could send her the entire outline at once.

……

As the sun sets and dusk falls, night falls, and the autumn night is as lonely as snow.

Clutching her 101 Dalmatians doll, Su Xiaoqiang huddled haphazardly in a corner of the bed, watching the sun set and the full moon rise. The room was dark, like the Arctic night, with no lights on. A wall covered in smiling photos of herself stood in stark contrast to her dazed expression.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Her phone was on the drafts screen, displaying a text message she had edited long ago.

It was just five simple words, but she didn't send them until the other person sent them to her on their own initiative, at which point she hastily replied.

Perhaps she should have sent that text message a long time ago, so that she could appear to have a clear conscience.

Perhaps it wasn't wrong of her to send the text message later. If she had waited until Lu Mingfei sent her the message first, she would have avoided suspicion and wouldn't have made a mistake.

Or perhaps there are no text messages in the world that absolutely must be sent. There are no taboos that must be avoided, and there's no right or wrong. It's all just the self-inflicted troubles of ordinary people.

"Miss, dinner is ready." Uncle Li knocked gently on the door, urging her for the third time.

"Mmm," she replied softly, though it was unclear whether Uncle Li had heard her.

At first, she genuinely intended to bring Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei together. After all, Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei were junior high school classmates, and she herself hadn't known him for very long.

It wasn't until that night when she visited Liu Miaomiao that the questions Liu Miaomiao asked suddenly plunged Su Xiaoqiang into confusion.

How exactly do I view that guy?

We've only known each other for a short time, and she has such a jerky personality, no sense of boundaries, and a whole host of bad habits.

but……

Su Xiaoqiang hugged the 101 loyal dogs in her arms tightly, curling her body into a ball like a hedgehog.

She suddenly remembered the time she and Lu Mingfei were taking a walk in the garden after the banquet ball.

She accidentally fell and landed in Lu Mingfei's arms. The two of them were face to face, breathing heavily, very close.

If only I had tilted my head back slightly and gently kissed him...

……

Morning, at the crossroads.

Lu Mingfei had just taken the fried dough sticks and soy milk and tossed the coins into the breakfast shop owner's cash box when someone suddenly slapped him hard on the shoulder.

The familiar female voice startled him. When he turned around, he saw the little fairy with her hands on her hips.

"Still eating such oily and sugary food?" Su Xiaoqiang looked him up and down.

Upon seeing Su Xiaoqiang suddenly appear, Lu Mingfei realized that he had indeed left home a little late today.

It's like my life is a game. When I leave home in the morning, I only have three options: "leave early," "leave at a normal time," and "leave late." Each option corresponds to a female lead's storyline, and the three options correspond to Liu Miaomiao, Chen Wenwen, and Xiao Tiannv, respectively.

Sometimes it's just a minute late, sometimes it's ten minutes late. But it seems that no matter how many minutes late I am, once I trigger the "leaving late" condition, I'm bound to run into the fairy maiden.

And I've already completed Liu Miaomiao's route...

“Didn’t Miaomiao forbid you from eating these things?” Su Xiaoqiang said.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the city seemed to have entered autumn overnight, with the temperature dropping by more than ten degrees Celsius. The weather turned uncooperative, and the young and beautiful girls put away their short skirts and sandals, pulling out their long trousers from the bottom of their closets.

The long, bare legs that seemed to stretch endlessly along the road had all been replaced by loose-fitting trousers, except for a few female students from Shilan Middle School who, undeterred by the cold, were still wearing their summer uniforms. Little Fairy was one of them.

However, although the little fairy was full of momentum, she was not so reckless. She still put on a pair of black stockings to keep warm and cover her exposed thighs.

Thus, the already quite tall Little Fairy appeared even taller with her legs stretched out even further by the black stockings. Coupled with her high ponytail, she exuded a queenly aura that made people only dare to admire her from afar, but not to approach her.

Lu Mingfei hadn't received a text message from Xiaotiannv yesterday, and he assumed that Xiaotiannv was like him, struggling with the deterioration of their brotherly relationship.

But today, when I saw her, the little fairy was as dashing and spirited as ever, as if nothing had happened.

So, it turns out that both Miaomiao and I misunderstood? Little Fairy hadn't actually been bothered by this at all. She'd always treated me like a brother, and the birthday message yesterday was just something she forgot to send.

Lu Mingfei couldn't discern anything amiss on Xiaotiannv's face, so he replied with his usual bland response: "Fried dough sticks and soy milk are both intangible cultural heritage items! Breakfast without fried dough sticks and soy milk is like Tifa not being in the 3D zone!"

"What is Tifa?" Su Xiaoqiang blinked blankly, clearly not understanding the joke Lu Mingfei was referring to.

Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

I need to be more careful in the future; I can't help but blurt out rude things without thinking.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei, puzzled, then looked away. The two stood side by side on the zebra crossing at the intersection, waiting for the green light.

It seems that Xiaotiannv doesn't actually like him as Miaomiao said. Their interactions are as natural and innocent as ever, like a pair of bickering lovers.

Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang seemed unaffected, Lu Mingfei felt relieved. The two arrived at school together and entered the classroom one after the other.

When Liu Miaomiao saw Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang enter the classroom together, she was clearly taken aback for a moment, but she immediately greeted them as usual.

Whether it was the dance, the confession, or Liu Miaomiao's mother, it all seemed like the events were over, or rather, it was as if nothing had ever happened. The three of them returned to the state they had been in a few weeks ago.

However, not everyone can be so nonchalant. For example, at noon, many people were stunned when they saw the three people sitting together chatting and laughing in the cafeteria.

Shilan Middle School is a prestigious private school in the city. As such, it is full of students from prominent families.

At the dance last Saturday, some students from Shilan Middle School were present and witnessed Liu Miaomiao's rumored fiancé and Su Xiaoqiang addressing each other as boyfriend and girlfriend and even dancing intimately together.

It's a shame that the phone's camera is too blurry to capture the faces of the two dancers clearly; otherwise, many busybodies would surely have posted the photos on the Shilan High School forum.

Although the photos weren't uploaded, rumors and gossip quickly spread on the Shilan Middle School forum. Coincidentally, the latest chapter of the novel, "About the Fallen Lu Mingfei and His Life on Thin Ice," also appeared there.

Many people who love a good show—especially former members of Liu Miaomiao's fan club—are eager to see Lu Mingfei's downfall.

What they saw was Liu Miaomiao, Lu Mingfei, and Su Xiaoqiang, the three parties involved, sitting at the same table, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Shouldn't you be crying your eyes out, fiercely denouncing Lu Mingfei as a scumbag, then each slapping him before covering your faces and leaving? What's with this seemingly harmonious and respectful scene? Is it "When the school beauties are in love, I'll be laughing among them"?

Many people's gazes towards Lu Mingfei changed; their previous hostility vanished, replaced by fear and admiration. Some even felt a surge of desire, wondering what conditions they would have to offer to obtain Lu Mingfei's secrets to picking up girls.

……

I made a mistake in the previous chapter; I wrote the Dragon Boat Festival instead of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm really sorry (I bow my head).

Because the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, my family asked me to buy zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). I was thinking about this, and then I accidentally wrote "Dragon Boat Festival" instead.

Fortunately, a reader pointed it out, and I corrected it immediately. Thank you so much!

Then, by chance, I wrote "Dragon Boat Festival" incorrectly. Better late than never, so I'll wish everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival in advance! Hehe!
