Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

……

Chapter 184 No Jealousy Allowed!

The disordered whispers gradually subsided. After a zipper creak, the screen swayed slightly, and Lin Huihui pushed Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen out from behind it.

Even though Lu Mingfei had already imagined Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen in maid outfits, he was still stunned when he saw them in person.

Both of them were wearing the same black satin lace maid outfit as Lin Huihui, the only difference being that Liu Miaomiao was wearing white stockings, while Chen Wenwen was wearing black stockings.

The delicate, sheer black and white silk perfectly outlined their youthful and beautiful leg curves, with the absolute territory of their thighs beneath the skirts appearing ethereal and otherworldly.

As the gaze slowly rises, the two figures reveal a magnanimous and unassuming strength. Their lowered, shy eyes contrast sharply with their alluring maid outfits.

It's unclear how Lin Huihui managed to convince the two of them to wear cat-ear hair accessories, paired with two pigtails hanging down in front of their chests. Youth and desire danced lightly between their eyes.

"How was it, class monitor?" Lin Huihui winked. "My cooking was pretty good, wasn't it?"

It's not just good, it's absolutely adorable!

Lu Mingfei was filled with excitement, but on the surface he could only cough lightly and say, "Not bad."

"So, does the class monitor think Miaomiao is prettier, or Wenwen?"

Lin Huihui's words were surprising, and Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen both looked up at Lu Mingfei.

Faced with the choice between his girlfriend and a female classmate he was close to, Lu Mingfei knew exactly how to answer. Without hesitation, he said, "Miaomiao is prettier."

That's what he said, but actually, Lu Mingfei thought Chen Wenwen's outfit looked better... mainly because Chen Wenwen usually wore white dresses and white ankle socks, and this was the first time Lu Mingfei had seen her in black stockings. This sexy contrast made Chen Wenwen visually more appealing.

Hearing Lu Mingfei say that she was prettier, Liu Miaomiao smiled with satisfaction, while Chen Wenwen lowered her head.

Although she knew Lu Mingfei would definitely answer that Liu Miaomiao was prettier, she still had a little bit of expectation in her heart just now.

Lin Huihui gave Chen Wenwen a meaningful look, then smiled brightly and patted the two of them on the back.

"Alright, alright, maids, it's time to get to work."

Lin Huihui gave a madam-like expression, "Do you still remember the lines I just taught you?"

"what?"

Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen were both taken aback.

Chen Wenwen asked timidly, "Do I really have to say that?"

Say that? What does saying that mean?

Lu Mingfei was filled with curiosity when he heard Lin Huihui say in a lively and flirtatious tone, "What else can we do, girls? You have to love what you do! You're all dressed up as maids in a coffee shop, so you have to greet your master like a real maid, right?"

Welcome, Master? Could it be...?

The moment that scene flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind, Lin Huihui had already pulled Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen's small hands, both wearing white silk gloves, and walked up to Lu Mingfei.

"Let me set an example first."

As Lin Huihui spoke, she stepped forward, placed her hands in front of her, bowed, and then made a lazy gesture like a cat yawning.

"Meow~ Welcome home, Master." Lin Huihui blinked her bright eyes. "Do you want to eat first? Or take a bath first? Or eat first..."

Wait, something's not right? What's with this line? You didn't have this line when you told me about it last time!

Before Lu Mingfei could react, he saw Lin Huihui shove Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen in front of him.

Since Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei were in a romantic relationship, after a moment of shyness, she imitated Lin Huihui's actions and said:

“Meow… Welcome home, Master…” Liu Miaomiao bowed and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

Seeing that Liu Miaomiao had already spoken, Chen Wenwen steeled herself and, biting her lip, stammered:

"Meow, meow~ Master, welcome back, Master..."

Lu Mingfei suddenly understood why wealthy families like to keep maids. On the surface, the maid's job is to clean the room, but in reality, the maid's job is to clean the heart!

Imagine this: you've been traveling for days, returning home dusty and weary, and suddenly a maid like Liu Miaomiao or Chen Wenwen bows to you at the door, greets you, and brushes away the dust from your journey. In that instant, all the grievances and fatigue you suffered outside are gently wiped away by her fingertips, aren't they?

No wonder Caesar kept a whole company of maids; even just looking at them every day was enough to please the eye.

Lu Mingfei originally thought the maid cosplay event was over, but Lin Huihui clearly had no intention of letting Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen off easily. Since they had boarded this pirate ship, they could only follow the pirate to the end.

Under Lin Huihui's combined coercion and persuasion, Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen were even forced to use the "love magic" they had just learned on Lu Mingfei. Their faces remained flushed the entire time.

If Liu Miaomiao hadn't used the excuse of "going to the auditorium to rehearse the performance this afternoon" to get away, who knows what embarrassing lines Lin Huihui would have lured her into saying.

Luckily, I told it to my boyfriend, so I didn't really lose out...

Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips, comforting herself in her heart.

only……

She glanced at Chen Wenwen beside her and thought to herself, "Mingfei really got a good deal..."

……

Actually, the "rehearsing the stage" wasn't entirely an excuse. The school anniversary gala was going to be held that evening, and the performers would usually go through the routine again in the afternoon to familiarize themselves with the process.

However, Liu Miaomiao didn't actually plan to play "Exodus" at all; she was going to play "The Maiden's Prayer," so the rehearsal became meaningless.

Were you very happy just now?

As Liu Miaomiao strolled along the school path, thinking about the embarrassing lines Chen Wenwen, dressed as a maid, had said to Lu Mingfei, she pouted and asked...

"I'm happy," Lu Mingfei said.

"Okay, you..."

Liu Miaomiao hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to answer so bluntly, and a sour feeling of jealousy welled up inside her. Then she heard Lu Mingfei chuckle and say:

"You're dressed up so beautifully, how could I not be happy?"

"Hmph." Liu Miaomiao gave a haughty snort, "You have good taste."

However, Liu Miaomiao's arrogance only lasted for a moment. When she was almost in the auditorium, a worried look appeared on her face.

"Mingfei, how about we don't change the program anymore..."

Liu Miaomiao stopped, tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve, looked at her toes, and said:

"What if something goes wrong with the program, and the school holds them accountable..."

Liu Miaomiao wasn't worried about herself. Although she wasn't like other spoiled brats who liked to use money to bully others, she knew her family background was prestigious. Even if the school investigated, it wouldn't be her fault, and her parents wouldn't blame her too much.

But Lu Mingfei is different. He is living under someone else's roof, and his uncle and aunt are not very nice to him. If he makes a big mistake, even if he is not expelled, he will definitely be criticized and blamed by his uncle and aunt.

Lu Mingfei could tell that Liu Miaomiao was worried about him again, so he smiled and patted her head.

“I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?” Lu Mingfei said.

"I... I'm just afraid of you..." Liu Miaomiao pouted, feeling wronged.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong," Lu Mingfei said. "Besides, I did this with Senior Brother Chu. If the school investigates, they'll punish Senior Brother Chu too. Do you think the school will punish him for this?"

Liu Miaomiao's eyes darted around, then she suddenly smiled and said, "Mingfei, you're so wicked! How come I never realized you were so cunning before! Confess honestly, did you plan to use Senior Brother Chu as a shield from the very beginning?"

"No way!" Lu Mingfei retorted. "I just have confidence in you and think you definitely won't make a mistake."

Lu Mingfei was telling the truth; he never thought anything would go wrong from the start. Liu Miaomiao's piano skills were beyond question, and as long as he and his expressionless senior brother didn't make any mistakes and the entire performance was presented perfectly, the school certainly wouldn't make things difficult for them.

“Then you must thank Senior Brother Chu properly afterward,” Liu Miaomiao said. “He always helps me like this, and I always feel a little embarrassed.”

Lu Mingfei gleaned another message from Liu Miaomiao's words: "He always helps you like this? Did Senior Brother Chu help you before?"

Liu Miaomiao revealed a sly smile: "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"How can there be..."

Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, he suddenly saw Liu Miaomiao close her eyes, her pretty face close to his, and then their lips touched, a light touch.

The kiss was very sudden, and it happened in a public place. Although it seems like no one is around now, it's hard to guarantee that someone might come out from around a bend and witness this scene that broke the hearts of countless Shilan High School boys.

"That was a long time ago, don't be jealous! The only person I've ever liked is you." Liu Miaomiao blinked, looking up at him with a downward gaze. "Mingfei, do you want to hear it?"

Lu Mingfei touched his mouth and nodded.

"That happened when I was in the first year of junior high school. Back then, I was already scheduled to perform at the school anniversary gala, right? I had just started school then, and actually, my position wasn't the last one, but rather somewhere in the middle."

"But I was very nervous at the time because this was my first performance in middle school, and I was afraid that if I messed up the performance, it would become a black mark on my middle school life. I walked and walked backstage, and just before I went on stage, the heel of my high heel suddenly broke. I was fine, but it was too late to find a new pair of high heels."

"Just when I was so anxious that I was about to cry, Senior Brother Chu stood up and said that he was willing to switch places with me. He would go on stage first and give me time to find a new pair of shoes. That's when I met Senior Brother Chu."

This behavior is quite like that of the expressionless senior brother... Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Liu Miaomiao held Lu Mingfei's hand and looked into his eyes with utmost sincerity, her gaze clear and pure.

"For a long time, I was very grateful to Senior Brother Chu for his help and mistakenly thought that feeling of gratitude was the same as liking. But later I realized that liking and gratitude are two completely different things."

Liu Miaomiao gently pinched the flesh on the back of Lu Mingfei's hand: "This feeling of wanting to hate you but being unable to resist getting close to you is what liking someone is."

She looked up, took a deep breath, and then said cautiously, "That's how it is... So, I'm not jealous of you, and you're not allowed to be jealous either!"

……

Chapter 185: Fencing Begins?

Lu Mingfei certainly wouldn't be jealous, not to mention that his expressionless senior brother was born with a body prone to infertility. He knew perfectly well how Liu Miaomiao treated him.

He reached out and gently pinched Liu Miaomiao's soft little face.

"Of course I won't be jealous," Lu Mingfei said indulgently. "So don't worry anymore. Just do your best on stage!"

Liu Miaomiao nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

……

Inside the auditorium, the final site visit before the gala is underway.

Staff members were busy around the stage. The props team was inspecting the stage equipment, the lighting team was adjusting the position of the lights, and Chu Zihang was standing directly below the stage, directing the staff to ensure that the entire process proceeded in an orderly manner.

Liu Miaomiao attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. When the boys saw Lu Mingfei standing next to her, their eyes became more weary, while the girls' eyes lit up with joy.

Every year, Liu Miaomiao is the final performer on stage. She's not only the boys' piano princess, but also the princess of the entire Shilan Middle School. Meanwhile, the popular online novel portrays Lu Mingfei as a handsome, roguish prince.

These days, love stories between good girls and rascals are very popular, and princesses and princes are a classic pairing. Therefore, the audience for that novel is basically fans of the Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao couple, although there are also a few anime and manga fans who like Su Xiaoqiang.

Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao walked straight towards Chu Zihang in front of the stage, ignoring the crowd's gazes. Seeing them arrive, Chu Zihang greeted them briefly, then looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Are you both ready?"
