Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, and then he saw Xiaolongnu smile sweetly and wink mischievously. Her eyes were so bright that they overwhelmed the reflection of the sequins.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Lu Mingfei's heart, and then the next moment, he saw Xia Mi wave in his direction.

Everyone was stunned. All eyes turned to the direction Xia Mi was waving, wondering which boy this pretty junior was greeting.

Lu Mingfei sensed something was wrong and tried to hide in the crowd, but there were too many people watching and he couldn't squeeze out for a while. After the boys' eyes swept around the crowd, they finally landed precisely on him.

Then everyone was stunned:

"Lu Mingfei again?"

Lu Mingfei waved his hands frantically, trying to show that it wasn't him, that he hadn't done it, and that they shouldn't wrong him. But then he saw Xia Mi, the one who started it all, stick out her tongue with a wicked smile and run off with the cheerleaders through the backstage passage.

Liu Miaomiao stared blankly at Xia Mi as she left.

……

There's another chapter coming later, probably after midnight. My train of thought has been a bit disjointed since I got into Su Xiaoqiang's storyline, sorry.

Chapter 172 Live Broadcast

After a long wait, the halftime break ended and the game started. Lu Mingfei originally wanted to watch his stoic senior play and cheer him on.

However, Xia Mi's sudden appearance instantly made Lu Mingfei the focus of the entire event.

Just then, the bell rang, and Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to hurriedly leave the gymnasium with Liu Miaomiao and the others.

Back in high school, he used to envy Chu Zihang, who was admired by everyone. He thought to himself that he wished he could be like Chu Zihang, handsome and dashing, with a peach blossom forest blooming in front of him, and he would just walk through it without a single petal touching him. He was the epitome of coolness that every boy dreamed of.

If he were someone like Chu Zihang, winning over Chen Wenwen would be a sure thing, right?

No! It should be a sure thing.

However! Later, when Lu Mingfei attended Kassel College and truly became a prominent figure on campus, he personally experienced the pressure that comes with being a prominent person. If you forget to wipe your mouth after dinner today, you'll be on the front page of the school forum tomorrow.

Then Lu Mingfei realized that becoming a prominent figure wasn't important; what mattered was simply being prominent in front of the people you liked.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't actually reject the feeling of being a prominent figure. It was just that when he was with Liu Miaomiao, he actually wanted his life to be a little more peaceful so that he could quietly enjoy the time Liu Miaomiao spent by his side.

If Lu Mingfei just wants to enjoy the time Liu Miaomiao spends with him in peace, he still needs to deal with his mother-in-law.

Liu Miaomiao now even speaks to herself behind her mother's back, defying the rules.

However, my father-in-law seems quite reasonable? I just don't know what his position is in the family. If he's like my uncle in the family, then the indirect approach I can take through Liu Miaomiao's father will be very difficult to implement.

Lu Mingfei was preoccupied with Liu Miaomiao's matter and did not notice that after Liu Miaomiao came out of the gymnasium, she kept staring blankly at her toes.

When they were almost at the classroom, Liu Miaomiao suddenly stopped and said:

"I suddenly remembered that I think I left something on the playground. Why don't you guys go back to the classroom first?"

"Did you leave something on the playground?" Deng Zhuoyi frowned. "How about we help you look for it?"

"No need, no need. It's quite obvious. I can find it myself."

Liu Miaomiao smiled and declined, then looked up and winked at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei immediately understood, realizing that the little girl had something to say and wanted to talk to him alone.

"Since Liu Miaomiao has said so, let's go back first," Lu Mingfei said.

"But……"

Deng Zhuoyi pouted, thinking to herself that she had just praised him for his boyfriend-like qualities, and now that Miaomiao had lost something, he didn't even help her look for it.

"What's the fuss?"

Su Xiaoqiang, her slender arm around her waist, spoke with the menacing aura of a female CEO, "Why don't we just have Lu Mingfei help Miaomiao look for them? Deng Zhuoyi, you and I go back to the classroom first. If they come back late, we can explain the situation to the teacher."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. He had originally planned to let Liu Miaomiao go first, and then catch up with her after he had coaxed the others back to the classroom.

Unexpectedly, the little fairy Han Xin's troop deployment gave him and Liu Miaomiao a perfectly reasonable excuse to leave at the same time.

However, the little fairy's actions seemed deliberate, almost as if she was helping him and Liu Miaomiao get together.

Deng Zhuoyi wasn't stupid. Since Su Xiaoqiang had already said so much, she immediately knew that the two young lovers must have something to say but were too embarrassed to say it directly, so they wanted to get her to leave.

“Okay.” Deng Zhuoyi smiled. “Then Class Monitor Lu can go help Miaomiao look for it. Su Xiaoqiang and I will go back to the classroom first.”

As he spoke, he eagerly grabbed Su Xiaoqiang's hand and turned at the intersection ahead, heading towards the direction of the first-year high school building.

As Liu Miaomiao watched the two disappear, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say, "Does Qiangqiang already know about our relationship?"

……

"So, Miaomiao, what do you need me for?" Lu Mingfei looked down at Liu Miaomiao.

They certainly didn't actually go to the playground. After Su Xiaoqiang and Deng Zhuoyi left, the two of them found a quiet corner behind the senior high school building not far away.

Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips, seemingly hesitant. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Lu Mingfei with some worry in her eyes.

"That pretty girl who greeted you at the stadium just now..." Liu Miaomiao began, asking softly, "Is she the girl we met in the Beijing subway?"

Upon hearing Liu Miaomiao's words, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that since Liu Miaomiao had regained her memories in Nibelungen, she would naturally remember Xia Mi as well.

Looking at the melancholy in Liu Miaomiao's eyes, Lu Mingfei didn't know how to explain, so he could only smile reassuringly and say, "Miaomiao, don't worry... she won't do anything to us."

Even if she wanted to, she didn't have the ability right now. Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

"Hmm~" Liu Miaomiao shook her head, "I'm not actually worried about that."

If not this, then what am I worried about? Lu Mingfei wondered.

As if hearing Lu Mingfei's thoughts, Liu Miaomiao suddenly stepped forward, lowered her head, and took Lu Mingfei's hands in hers.

"I just..." Liu Miaomiao hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Just what?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It just feels like we're from different worlds."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, and then heard Liu Miaomiao continue speaking:

"Although you told me that you would always be Lu Mingfei, and I can feel that you like me, I always have this feeling that there is a deep chasm between us, which makes us very far apart."

"Especially after I thought about what happened in the Beijing subway, I realized that the world is not as simple as I imagined."

“I was actually trying to control myself, not to ask questions about those things, and not to think about what happened that day. But when I saw that girl, I couldn’t help but think about those things again. And then I became very afraid that one day you would go back to that world and abandon me.”

Lu Mingfei was unaware that the little girl had been harboring such worries all along.

Liu Miaomiao tightly grasped Lu Mingfei's hands, raised them to her chest, pursed her lips, and said:

"Mingfei, can you promise me something?"

"what's up?"

Even if you go back to your world... you can't leave me, you have to take me with you.

Liu Miaomiao's watery eyes held a pleading look.

His answer to Liu Miaomiao was a fleeting kiss on her lips. This was the second kiss between the two since the day he confessed his feelings, and it was also the first time Lu Mingfei had initiated a kiss on Liu Miaomiao.

Realizing what had just happened, Liu Miaomiao's face belatedly turned red. Then she felt Lu Mingfei release her hands, and his strong hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

"Silly girl." Lu Mingfei stroked Liu Miaomiao's head. "Of course, do you need to tell me? No matter where I go, I will never leave you."

Upon receiving Lu Mingfei's affirmative answer, Liu Miaomiao's heart instantly calmed down, her body softened, and she rested her head against Lu Mingfei's chest.

"You have to do what you say you will do."

"of course."

……

Deng Zhuoyi, who witnessed this scene, desperately covered her mouth, but the excited expression on her face, as if she had "bumped into something, bumped into something," could not hide her excitement at this moment.

She had only pretended to leave. After turning the corner with Su Xiaoqiang by the hand, she immediately hid behind the building and kept an eye on the direction Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao had left in.

Although rumors about the two were rampant on campus, neither of them ever publicly acknowledged their relationship. Even when Deng Zhuoyi asked Liu Miaomiao privately, Liu Miaomiao kept her mouth shut and firmly denied it.

Now, she's finally caught her, hasn't she? Let's see what Miao Miao has to say now.

Although we couldn't hear their conversation, Lu Mingfei was really handsome; he so domineeringly pulled Miao Miao into his arms and kissed her. And I have to say, this high-颜值 (good-looking) couple is really adorable!

Lost in the excitement of watching the sweet moments, Deng Zhuoyi chuckled to herself, completely unaware that Su Xiaoqiang behind her was biting her lip tightly, not uttering a word.

Although she had already guessed what was going on from the interaction between the two.

But witnessing it firsthand was definitely a more devastating experience...

……

Su Xiaoqiang didn't know how she got through the next few classes. She felt like her mind was drifting to a very, very far place. It wasn't until the bell rang and everyone around her started packing their bags that she suddenly realized that school was over.

Su Xiaoqiang shoved everything on the table into her schoolbag without caring whether it was today's homework or not. She just wanted to leave the classroom before Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei finished packing, so that the three of them wouldn't have to walk together again later.

He returned home dejectedly, only to find his father home on a weekday, with Uncle Liu, a close friend of his father, sitting next to him.

After a polite greeting, Uncle Liu suddenly mentioned that his birthday was coming up soon and asked Su Xiaoqiang if he would do him the honor of attending the banquet. It wasn't one of those grand banquets that Su's Energy had previously organized; it was just a regular family dinner.

Logically speaking, attending this kind of family dinner hosted by my uncle wouldn't be a problem. Although I would see that annoying Liu Wei, it would be a group meal, not a one-on-one gathering, so it wouldn't really matter.

To Su Xiaoqiang's surprise, her father actually refused on her behalf, saying that it was inappropriate for a child to participate in drinking with a bunch of old men.

Su Xiaoqiang couldn't understand why her father would help her refuse Uncle Liu's invitation.

I was so eager to attend more of the Liu family's banquets before.

……

Chapter 173 Methods to Enhance Bloodline

After dinner, Su Xiaoqiang was about to go back to her room when her father suddenly called her back.

"Qiangqiang, do you have time now?" Su Zhenqi asked.

"Ok?"

This long-lost gentle tone made Su Xiaoqiang feel a little strange. Looking at her father's solemn eyes, it was as if he had some important matters to instruct her about.

She nodded with some confusion, and then Su Zhenqi waved his hand, signaling her to come over with him.

The two entered the master bedroom of the villa. Su Zhenqi asked her to wait in the study in the suite for a moment, then turned and went into the bedroom. When he came out, he was carrying a suit.

Isn't this the Kiton suit I lent to Lu Mingfei?
