Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

"Is this okay?" Lu Mingfei was referring to her outfit.

However, Lin Huihui misunderstood and waved her hand generously: "No need to be so polite, class monitor. Our class operates on a shift system. I finished my shift this morning and won't be handing over until this afternoon. This is my rest time."

Thinking of the recent influx of unwanted suitors, Lu Mingfei was about to refuse when Deng Zhuoyi spoke first:

"Alright, Lin, then we'll gladly accept your offer."

Just a moment ago, Deng Zhuoyi was blinking her big eyes, and she was looking resentful, but now she looks like she's seen a god of wealth. She probably realized that the "school beauty handmade" gimmick alone wasn't enough to attract enough customers, so she wanted to hire half a school beauty to help her keep things going.

Before Lu Mingfei could even voice his opinion, he saw Lin Huihui walk around behind the shop window, pull up a chair, sit down next to Lu Mingfei, and smile sweetly at him: "Please give me your guidance, class monitor."

Lu Mingfei could only look away and reply, "Please give me your guidance..."

……

However, it must be said that Lin Huihui's reputation is indeed quite effective.

Although Lin Huihui's nickname on the Shilan Middle School forum is "half-step school beauty," this "half-step" only applies in comparison to girls with exceptionally high looks like Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao.

Although the quality of girls at Shilan Middle School has always been quite high, the phenomenon of having a large number of outstanding beauties only occurred in Lu Mingfei's class.

With Lin Huihui's looks, she would have been considered a school beauty three years earlier or three years later. Her striking maid outfit only added to her allure.

Lin Huihui had only been sitting behind the shop window for a few minutes when male students started coming in one after another. Every one of them stared at Lin Huihui as they entered, asking if she still had any handmade cookies she made herself.

Lin Huihui also has a real talent for being a cashier, always smiling at everyone who comes in.

Seeing that the number of cookies co-branded with Lin Huihui was dwindling, Deng Zhuoyi quickly removed Liu Miaomiao's and her friends' signs and replaced each cookie with a label saying it was handmade by Lin Huihui. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but admire her, thinking, "No wonder she's the daughter of an accountant; she's a true business genius."

In just one hour, the number of cookies in the shop window had visibly decreased. Deng Zhuoyi counted the money and estimated that about a third of the cookies had been sold. At this rate, it wouldn't be a problem to sell all the cookies in one day. She might have to go and get some more stock tonight.

Upon hearing Deng Zhuoyi mention that she wanted to purchase more goods, Lu Mingfei quickly rejected her idea.

Should he order a few dozen more kilograms of cookies? He's going on a date with Liu Miaomiao tomorrow. He certainly doesn't want to work as a sales clerk in the classroom for another day.

Just as he thought of Liu Miaomiao, he heard a familiar female voice coming from outside the door.

"Dad, Mom, the activities in our classroom are really boring and nothing interesting happens..."

The delicate girl said somewhat anxiously.

"What does it matter? Even if it's boring, it's the result of your classmates' joint efforts. Besides, Dad also wants to get to know your new classmates," the deep middle-aged man said with a smile.

As if on cue, he appeared. Lu Mingfei immediately recognized Liu Miaomiao's voice.

But it seems Liu Miaomiao wasn't the only one who came. It appears there were other people who accompanied her. Considering that Liu Miaomiao had come to school with her parents today…

Before he could think any further, he saw a pretty girl leading two middle-aged men through the door. The girl lowered her head and blinked at Lu Mingfei with a wronged expression... while the two middle-aged men were both stunned.

So what's going on here? Is this my first time meeting my future in-laws... dressed in a chef's uniform? To make matters worse, there's an incongruous cat-eared maid-dress sitting next to me.

The group looked at each other, remaining silent for a moment. It seemed that someone had to bravely step forward and break the silence.

The girl in the out-of-place maid outfit, however, bravely stepped forward, completely oblivious to the danger:

"Welcome! Would you like some cookies?" Lin Huihui greeted with a smile.

……

This morning was a classmate reunion dinner, it's a bit late, I'll update around midnight.

Chapter 180 The First Day of the School Anniversary (2)

It must be said that although Lin Huihui lacked tact, her words did indeed break the silence in the room.

Lu Mingfei immediately realized what was happening and greeted Liu Miaomiao's parents with a smile: "Miaomiao, you're back? Are these your uncle and aunt?"

This answer was incredibly insincere. Lu Mingfei had clearly met Liu Miaomiao's father several times and had also met her mother a few times. Yet, he pretended to know nothing and directly asked Liu Miaomiao.

He didn't choose to call Liu Miaomiao by her full name, but instead called her by her given name "Miaomiao," which suggests that he wanted to show Liu Miaomiao's parents that their relationship was more than just friends.

Lu Mingfei understood very well that his relationship with Liu Miaomiao could not be kept secret forever; it would eventually have to be made public and acknowledged by Liu Miaomiao's parents.

Rather than being stared at in this silent atmosphere, it's better to take the initiative and seize the initiative.

On the one hand, they displayed an arrogant attitude of "I'll just call your daughters by their nicknames because I like that your daughters are dating your daughters, so what?"

On the other hand, she subtly hinted, "Ah, Uncle and Aunt, I really didn't know you didn't like me calling Miaomiao by her name directly. Miaomiao and I have always called each other that, and Miaomiao agrees to me calling her that. I'm really sorry if I've offended you."

Fight and retreat, attacking as you go.

Even when Liu Miaomiao heard Lu Mingfei call her by her name, her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Mingfei, really, why do you call me by my name without considering the situation?"

Liu Yue was taken aback by the repeated calls of "Miaomiao," "Uncle," and "Auntie." He thought to himself that this kid was being too fake. He had clearly met them before, yet he was acting like it was their first meeting. He even had the audacity to call his daughter by her name.

But as a seasoned businessman, he quickly greeted Lu Mingfei, saying "Hello, classmate," and then immediately turned to Ji Ruyan and asked, "Let's buy some cookies to support the student's entrepreneurship."

Ji Ruyan gave her husband a cold look, knowing that his behavior was to prevent her from losing her temper. She then nodded arrogantly.

After receiving Ji Ruyan's approval, Liu Yue immediately took out his wallet from his pocket and asked for the price.

At the same time, she understood why her daughter had been stopping them from visiting her class.

It turns out it was Lu Mingfei here.

If he had known this would happen, he should have listened to his daughter.

Liu Yue's feelings towards Lu Mingfei have always been rather neutral; he neither dislikes nor hates him—which is quite normal, since what father would want his smart, beautiful, obedient, and adorable daughter to be taken by someone else's pig?

It is said that a daughter is her father's lover from a past life, his close-fitting cotton-padded jacket, while a son-in-law is his natural rival, the scissors that want to puncture this cotton-padded jacket.

However, after experiencing a series of events, including Liu Miaomiao's illness and hospitalization, and Lu Mingfei's visit that improved Liu Miaomiao's condition, Liu Yue's attitude towards Lu Mingfei began to slowly shift in a positive direction.

Although a father doesn't want his tender cabbages to be trampled, if the cabbages are destined to be trampled, at least he should choose a pig that looks clean and white.

Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, has a clean-cut appearance, and his own wife seems willing to be taken advantage of by him.

Therefore, in Liu Yue's heart, he had actually begun to gradually accept Lu Mingfei.

However, his approval does not mean that he agrees to Lu Mingfei dating his daughter at such a young age. Even if he has already accepted Lu Mingfei in his heart, dating should only happen after both of them are in college.

Besides, his approval is often useless; the person who truly manages things in the family is still...

Liu Yue glanced at Ji Ruyan beside him, hurriedly handed the money to Lin Huihui, and took the paper bag containing the cookies from the smiling Deng Zhuoyi.

Liu Yue frowned and glanced at Deng Zhuoyi, vaguely recognizing a familiar outline in her features.

"You must be Old Deng's daughter?" Liu Yue asked. He remembered that General Deng's daughter and his daughter were in the same class and had a good relationship.

“Yes, Uncle Liu.” Deng Zhuoyi bowed and said, “My father often mentions you.”

As expected of Old Deng's daughter... Liu Yue thought to himself, her features are really fierce.

It's not that Deng Zhuoyi isn't good-looking; in fact, she's quite cute. It's just that her eyebrows are a bit thick and her eyes are very big, which gives her a fierce and imposing air, much like Zhang Fei.

Lu Mingfei wasn't idle either. After taking the hundred-yuan bill from Lin Huihui, he smiled and handed the change to Liu Yue, saying, "Uncle Liu, this is your change."

After Liu Yue received the money from Lu Mingfei, Lin Huihui took the opportunity to chat with Liu Yue, and then, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she brought Lu Mingfei into the conversation.

Then Lin Huihui retreated, and the father and son chatted happily on the surface, while at the same time a thousand thoughts were swirling in their minds.

While Lu Mingfei and Liu Yue were chatting, Ji Ruyan was quietly observing Lu Mingfei.

He's handsome, eloquent, and quick-witted; no wonder he's popular with girls.

Ji Ruyan knew that this kind of boy was always very popular in high school.

After Liu Miaomiao fell ill, Ji Ruyan kept thinking about how to deal with Lu Mingfei's relationship with her daughter.

At that time, it was almost certain that Miao Miao's illness was due to excessive worry and lovesickness over this boy named Lu Mingfei. And Miao Miao's recovery was also closely related to his secret visits.

Ji Ruyan actually loves her daughter very much. Since her daughter likes this boy named Lu Mingfei so much, as a mother, she doesn't want to force her daughter to draw a line between them.

If she were to force her further, she might be able to bear the consequences, but her daughter's body might not be able to handle it.

But getting her to accept Lu Mingfei's existence? There was always a hurdle she couldn't overcome in her heart.

That hurdle wasn't about social class, nor was it prejudice against Lu Mingfei's experiences in junior high school...

However, she had clearly heard Lu Mingfei call her daughter by her name in front of her, yet pretend not to know her.

I don't know if this is considered bold or cowardly.

However, Ji Ruyan clearly sensed that Lu Mingfei was asking about her attitude.

Should I accept this relationship or not?

That would be considered quite bold. Ji Ruyan felt a slight sense of admiration for Lu Mingfei.

Facing his girlfriend's parents, who represented power, he not only showed no fear but also dared to take the initiative and seize the initiative. Furthermore, he was able to calmly and confidently engage in conversation with the woman's father.

This kid has some guts.

However, although Ji Ruyan admired Lu Mingfei, it was unlikely that she would accept him so easily.

Ask yourself whether you accept it or not?

Ji Ruyan spoke calmly, interrupting Liu Yue, who was having a lively conversation with Lu Mingfei.

"Old Liu, stop chatting," Ji Ruyan said. "We still need to see the principal later."

She chose not to choose anything; that was her choice.

Liu Yue was taken aback, realizing that his wife had given the order to leave. He quickly ended the conversation, took the cookies, walked to his wife's side, said goodbye to Lu Mingfei and the others, and then they all left together.

Before leaving, Liu Miaomiao, without telling her parents, patted her full chest and then waved her fist at Lu Mingfei.

It was as if she was saying that she was almost scared to death, and that if Lu Mingfei dared to be so bold again and call her by her name in front of her parents, she would get angry.

Before Lu Mingfei could answer, she hurriedly ran out the door to catch up with her parents who had already walked away.

Only after seeing Liu Miaomiao and her family leave did Lu Mingfei finally relax.

When he saw Liu Miaomiao's parents suddenly appear, he was momentarily stunned. Fortunately, Lin Huihui helped break the ice, and his subsequent move to take the initiative proved to be the right thing to do.

Liu Miaomiao's parents did not show any displeasure at her calling her by her name, indicating that they were well aware of her existence. Perhaps because of Liu Miaomiao's previous illness, they were currently in a state of neither objecting to nor agreeing to her existence.

However, after getting to know him, I found that my future father-in-law was easier to talk to, although he seemed to be quite henpecked.

As for his future mother-in-law, she was incredibly shrewd, and it was impossible to figure out what she was thinking.

As Lu Mingfei was lamenting his uncertain future in love, Lin Huihui suddenly came over and interrupted his thoughts.

"Class monitor," Lin Huihui blinked, "how are you going to thank me?"

"Thank you?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Thank you for what?"
