Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

While thinking this to himself, Lu Mingfei said aloud, "I guessed it. I feel that you will go to Kassel College, senior."

“Yes, I will go.” Chu Zihang tucked the pen between the pages of his notebook and said, “Although my father wants me to listen to him, I’ve never been an obedient child… Do you think my father graduated from Kassel College?”

“I think so,” Lu Mingfei said. “And judging from his skills, he must be pretty good.”

Lu Mingfei recalled how Chu Zihang's father swiftly cut through the crowd of Deadpools, his blade moving faster than the rain could keep up with the speed of his attacks.

Looking back now, he must have activated a Word of Power at that time, probably "Moment" or even "Time Zero".

"So you're also a student at Kassel College?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback; this question stumped him.

It's not wrong to say yes, because he studied diligently at Kassel College for three years; it's not wrong to say no, because at this point he wasn't even in high school yet, and Guderian and Nono hadn't come to pick him up.

"It will probably be like that in the future," was all Lu Mingfei could say.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's expression, Chu Zihang didn't press further. Instead, he turned to the second page of his notebook. "Okay... second question, was that thing we saw on the overpass really Odin?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "I don't know about that. The existing information doesn't mention the existence of gods in this world, only that dragons exist. But the sense of oppression Odin gives off, in my personal opinion, is at least at the level of a first-generation being."

He didn't know much about Odin's origins; perhaps he hadn't even reached this point in his previous life before being forced into a second playthrough.

"I understand." Chu Zihang nodded, showing full trust in Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei silently raised his hand: "Senior brother, do you... have any other questions?"

“There are many questions, but let’s ask this many for now.” Chu Zihang closed the notebook again and put it into his backpack. “Asking too many questions at once isn’t really a good idea. I need some time to process this information, and you also need some time to sort things out.”

"So, what other activities do we have planned?"

Chu Zihang was taken aback and said, "Is there anything you'd like to do? I'm free this afternoon, so I can keep you company if you need."

"That's not necessary."

Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand to refuse: "My aunt wants me to bring a new toilet seat back with me this afternoon. I'm afraid you have other plans and won't have enough time. If there's nothing else, I can take my time and finish my Swiss roll before I leave."

A Swiss roll that cost 20 yuan... and that was the price in 2006. 20 yuan back then was enough for two bowls of satay beef soup instant noodles at a local tea restaurant. Can't waste it.

"Did you used to like Swiss rolls?"

Seeing Lu Mingfei devouring a Swiss roll like he was starving, Chu Zihang suddenly wondered if he should ask Lu Mingfei out at a place like McDonald's.

"If you like it, I can order you another one."

"That's so embarrassing." Lu Mingfei wiped the crumbs from his mouth with a tissue. "I'd like to try the strawberry flavor."

Lu Mingfei knew that Chu Zihang was not the kind of person who said one thing and did another, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Chu Zihang.

Besides, I just sold him top-secret information! Trading secrets of human history for two Swiss rolls isn't asking for the moon, is it?

Such a detailed and ingenious setting, if sold to a novelist, could probably produce a bestselling book with millions of copies sold.

"Then I'll go to the front desk to order." Chu Zihang got up from his seat.

"No need, no need. Senior brother, you've already treated us, how could I trouble you? You sit here, I'll go." Lu Mingfei jumped up and stood up.

"Are you sure?" Chu Zihang raised an eyebrow. "You have to pay on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei immediately deflated. After buying the toilet seat, he wasn't sure how much of the hundred yuan he had in his pocket would be left.

"Then, then, then I'll go order with you." Lu Mingfei came up with a compromise.

"also."

The two of them left the booth together and walked to the bar, where there was just one strawberry Swiss roll left in the glass cabinet.

The female college student barista placed the Swiss roll on the plate, and Chu Zihang opened his wallet to pay, but the female college student refused with a blush on her face.

The other party said that Chu Zihang had already given too much of a tip, and that Chu Zihang absolutely could not pay for the Swiss roll.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the jade chimes of the wind chimes suddenly jingled in the wind, and someone pushed open the door and entered.

"Hello, may I ask..."

Upon seeing the person approaching, Lu Mingfei almost blurted out "Holy crap!" but fortunately stopped himself in time.

But how can the emotions that are difficult to express in just a few words?

Chapter 22 You came at the right time

Lu Mingfei counted all the acquaintances he had met that day.

In the morning, we took a group photo and stood next to Liu Miaomiao. But since today was graduation day, it was normal to run into her.

At noon, I sneaked into an internet cafe to play StarCraft and ran into Little Fairy Su Xiaoqiang, which was a bit outrageous.

In the afternoon, I met with Senior Brother Chu at the coffee shop, which was something I had expected and was acceptable.

Why is it that even though I'm just about to have another Swiss roll and leave, I still run into Chen Wenwen?

Chen Wenwen held a copy of "Jane Eyre" with a gold-embossed cover. She wore a white cotton dress with a light green ribbon tied around her waist. Her long, straight hair was simply tied with a hairband and let it fall to her waist. The hem of her dress was neither too long nor too short, just covering her knees and revealing a pair of fair and straight calves. Her white socks with lace trim peeked out from the top of her black leather shoes.

Eileen Chang once said that perhaps every man has had two women like this: the red one is the cinnabar mole on his heart, and the white one is the bright moonlight before his bed.

For Lu Mingfei, the red one represents Nuonuo, and the white one represents Chen Wenwen.

In fact, upon closer examination, Chen Wenwen entered Lu Mingfei's life much earlier than Nuonuo.

The reasons he fell for Nuonuo and Chen Wenwen were similar. They were the ones who offered him warmth during the lowest and most lonely times in his life.

Therefore, the phrase "taking advantage of a weakness" makes sense. When people are emotionally vulnerable, a little comfort they receive often becomes their lifeline.

Chen Wenwen is a gentle girl.

Lu Mingfei's friend in the light novel world, Hachiman Hikigaya, once said that he disliked gentle girls because gentle girls are actually gentle to everyone, but he would mistakenly think that they were only gentle to him.

Lu Mingfei couldn't say whether he was likable or not, but he wouldn't blame himself. When you're going through a tough time, if someone is willing to reach out to you, it means that person is quite nice. You can't blame a nice person for not loving you enough, can you?

The beauty of the white moonlight lies in its unattainability.

Although Lu Mingfei had long since let go of Chen Wenwen, the chance encounter with his white moonlight is like meeting your first love with a child on the street many years after marriage. You can't help but feel a flutter in your heart and take a second look, while also reminiscing about the youth that you missed.

Moreover, the Chen Wenwen in front of him was not the Chen Wenwen with a child that he would meet on the street many years later. This was the 15-year-old Chen Wenwen, whose romantic history was as clean as a blank sheet of paper. It was understandable that Lu Mingfei was staring at her.

Chu Zihang's gaze shifted back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, lost in thought.

Seeing Lu Mingfei and the others staring at her, Chen Wenwen subconsciously took a small step back, brushed her bangs aside, and said nervously, "I... did I come at the wrong time?"

Did you arrive at the wrong time? No, you arrived at the perfect time. Of the three most beautiful girls at Shilan High School, you were the only one we hadn't met yet. If you hadn't shown up, it would have felt like something was missing today.

If you've got the guts, let me run into Zero and Nono again when I go to the wholesale market to buy toilet seats later, okay?

Lu Mingfei complained crazily in his mind.

"Do you want to buy coffee?" Chu Zihang asked.

"No need." Chen Wenwen waved her hand at Chu Zihang, pointed her slender finger at the glass cabinet, and said, "I'll just buy a cake and leave."

"Then you can order."

Chu Zihang made way for Chen Wenwen, who then tiptoed to the bar and stopped a few centimeters away from Lu Mingfei. "Hello, I'd like a strawberry Swiss roll to go."

"The last one, sold out." The female college student pointed to the piece she was about to give to Lu Mingfei. "Why don't you try some other flavors?"

"Ah..." Chen Wenwen's voice clearly revealed disappointment, and her gaze unconsciously turned to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like he was playing a visual novel, encountering a female character in the game scene, and triggering a key plot point. Two options vaguely appeared in front of him.

Option A: Ignore Chen Wenwen's gaze and finish the Swiss roll. Satiety +1.

Option B: Give the Swiss roll to Chen Wenwen. Satiety -1, Chen Wenwen's favorability +10.

The female character was still staring intently at the Swiss roll, practically presenting you with the option to increase her favorability.

Even a fool would know which option to choose, right?

"You can have this Swiss roll." Lu Mingfei decisively chose option B.

It wasn't to improve Chen Wenwen's favorability or anything. Even if he had met Liu Miaomiao or another girl instead of Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei would still have given up the Swiss roll.

Um... if it were Su Xiaoqiang, I might not have given in.

"Is that okay?" Chen Wenwen's face suddenly lit up with a little joy, but then she frowned and said, "But isn't that a bit inappropriate? There's only one left, and you probably really want to eat it, right? I'd better change to a different flavor."

"It's okay, it's okay, I already ate one."

"But……"

"You really don't want it?"

"Really, no need, thank you."

"Then we don't need it, you can keep it."

Lu Mingfei knew Chen Wenwen's personality. She looked quiet and gentle, but she actually had a strong sense of self-esteem and was very sensitive. She was not easy to accept other people's kindness, so he simply refused the Swiss roll and pushed Chu Zihang out the door together.

"You really don't want it?" Chu Zihang, who was being pushed forward, asked. "You seem to really want to eat it."

"Actually, it's not that bad. I just wanted to try something new. I can't eat fine food, so I'd rather spend 20 yuan on a McDonald's meal and save 2 yuan on internet access."

Chu Zihang nodded: "No wonder you're not interested in Liu Miaomiao from your class. So that's the type of girl you like. But personally, I think if you had to choose between the two, Liu Miaomiao would be more suitable for you."

Lu Mingfei got anxious. "Hey, hey, hey, Senior Brother Chu, what do you mean I'm not interested in Liu Miaomiao? That's a question of whether Liu Miaomiao is interested in me or not... Besides, what makes you think Liu Miaomiao is more suitable for me than Chen Wenwen?"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Liu Miaomiao clearly likes you, okay? Even if you pretend not to see her, you can still sense her sincere feelings."

Although you look like a stone, you can't really be a stone, can you? Didn't you notice when Xiaolongnu was flirting with you?

"Chen Wenwen? You even know her name?"

Lu Mingfei quickly covered his mouth, realizing that he might have let something slip.

"I don't know, I just made it up."

Chu Zihang didn't press further, but continued, "Have you heard of the MBTI personality test? It's a test method based on Jungian personality classification theory. It roughly divides human personality into 16 types. That girl was probably a typical INFP, and you might be an ISFP. You two are very compatible as good friends, but not so much as lovers."

Holy crap, what kind of test is this? It even predicted that Chen Wenwen only sees me as a friend.

Lu Mingfei retorted, "Then tell me, what kind of girl is more compatible with my personality?"

Chu Zihang pondered: "If it's an ISFP, they should be paired with an extroverted personality, such as a bold, charming, confident, and radiant girl."

Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely, a million curses running through his mind. He almost suspected that Chu Zihang had also traveled back in time. His expressionless senior brother was practically pointing out "Chen Motong" outright. Was this MBTI test really that accurate?

"Liu Miaomiao might lack confidence, but her personality is more outgoing than the girl from before, which could complement yours to some extent."
