At this moment, Liu Miaomiao realized that the train had stopped again at some point. This time, it arrived at a new platform, which was unusually bright.

With a tremor, the door slammed shut again, and it was unclear which passengers had boarded at this stop.

The moment the train began to accelerate, Lu Mingfei suddenly knelt up, wrapped his arms around Liu Miaomiao's waist, and ran in the opposite direction of the subway's movement.

"He's going to jump!" Lu Mingfei shouted as he ran to the front of the car.

Liu Miaomiao suddenly remembered the famous Hollywood romance movie "Titanic". The handsome Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, met Rose, played by Susie Amys, on the deck. Jack saved Rose from jumping into the sea and said a classic line to her: "You jump, I jump".

Liu Miaomiao wrapped her arms tightly around Lu Mingfei's waist, entrusting her entire body to him.

They jumped, felt a brief fall, and then landed with a heavy impact, tumbling several times on the ground. Lu Mingfei held Liu Miaomiao's head tightly against his chest, his legs hooked around hers, absorbing most of the impact himself.

The clanging of the train's metal wheels faded into the distance, and the screech of the weasel also disappeared.

"It seems like I've escaped a disaster." Looking at the lights spreading in the blood-red light in his field of vision, Lu Mingfei smiled weakly.

"You're too impulsive, brother."

Lu Mingze's voice came from directly above him. He peeked out from Liu Miaomiao's shoulder and looked at Lu Mingfei lying on the tracks.

"You can withstand the impact of jumping out of the car, but can Liu Miaomiao? If I hadn't been there to cushion her fall, she might have ended up like Gwen in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' snapping..."

As Lu Mingze spoke, he reached across his neck and gestured horizontally, then stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes.

"No, I've calculated the train's starting speed. There won't be that much impact, and I landed first, so at most she'll only have a minor fracture."

"Even if it's just a broken bone, how can you bear to do this? She's your girl."

"Hey, hey, hey, why is it my girl again?"

"Isn't that right?" Lu Mingze scoffed. "Brother, stop being so arrogant. Isn't she your girl? She'll do whatever you ask of her now. Even if you try to kiss her, she probably won't run away, right?"

Looking at Liu Miaomiao nestled in his arms, and noticing the glossy lipstick on her lips, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt thirsty.

"Pah, all you ever think about is taking advantage of people in distress."

"Taking advantage of someone in distress?" Lu Mingze smiled silently. "Maybe it's consensual? Brother, you should have heard of the suspension bridge effect, right? In an extremely dangerous situation, it's very easy for two people to fall in love with each other."

That's what love is all about: you save her, you give her a sense of security, and she'll fall in love with you. There's no such thing as pure romance.

Did you know that people are only attracted to the top 7% of the opposite sex in their social circle? Brother, you're definitely more than 7% in Liu Miaomiao's heart now. So, is Liu Miaomiao in your top 7% of the opposite sex?

Top 7%? No need to rank them at all. That's Liu Miaomiao, with an explosive family background, explosive looks, and explosive talent. Even if you include all the mixed-race girls Lu Mingfei knows, Liu Miaomiao is still well above the top 75.

"Alright, alright, Ultraman's three-minute transformation time is almost up, and I have to go back to Nebula M78. As for whether or not to kiss Liu Miaomiao, it's up to you, brother."

Lu Mingze jumped off Liu Miaomiao and ran his hand across the scratches on her body. The wounds, stained with blood and ash, healed at a visible speed as his fingers moved, and her fair skin regained its original smoothness and softness.

"Remember that spell, 'show hand'? I've made it work again. You'll need it next, brother."

After the little devil finished speaking, he took a step back and gave Lu Mingfei an imperceptible hat-removal salute.

As Liu Miaomiao in his arms let out a soft moan, Lu Mingfei knew that Lu Mingze had left again, just like Ultraman, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Wait a minute!

As a sharp, pulling pain shot through his back, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something.

Damn it, Lu Mingze, you treated Liu Miaomiao's injuries, and you treated mine too.

Chapter 43 Reading Comprehension Questions

As the train, which sounded like it came from hell, rattled away, Liu Miaomiao groggily lifted her head from Lu Mingfei's arms.

"Are we alright?"

Liu Miaomiao remembered that Lu Mingfei had just jumped off the moving train while holding her, and rolled around on the ground several times.

I was prepared to be badly injured, if not killed, but I was surprised to find myself completely unharmed, without even a scratch.

"They should be alright now."

Lu Mingfei gently patted her back.

"Oh……"

Having survived such a close call, the two of them should have said something to celebrate, but Liu Miaomiao was completely bewildered.

Because she felt Lu Mingfei's hand was always on her back, patting her and then stopping, like he was coaxing a child to sleep.

This intimate behavior has clearly crossed the line in Liu Miaomiao's heart. Is she just trying to reject Lu Mingfei?

But Lu Mingfei had protected him during that critical moment. So, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with letting him touch him now...

Seeing that Liu Miaomiao was still clinging to him even after he had patted her so many times, Lu Mingfei could only say helplessly:

"Um, Liu Miaomiao, could you let me get up for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao was taken aback, and then immediately realized that Lu Mingfei had just patted her to remind her to get up.

She quickly blushed and hurriedly sat up from Lu Mingfei's lap, turning herself into a seated position with her knees on the ground.

However, Liu Miaomiao immediately realized that this posture was actually even more ambiguous than before, so she hurriedly got up and pulled Lu Mingfei up with her hand.

"I'm sorry," Liu Miaomiao said, kneeling to the side, her face flushed and looking aggrieved.

Lu Mingfei sat up from the ground, hissing in pain as his flesh was pulled apart.

Actually, neither the attacks from the Kamaitachi nor the injuries from jumping off the train and rolling around weren't serious. It was just that the feeling of his flesh tearing open was far more painful than he had imagined.

I don't know how my senior brother, who was always getting injured in his past life, managed to hold back his screams.

Seeing Lu Mingfei wincing in pain, Liu Miaomiao used her hand to hold Lu Mingfei's shoulder and looked at his back.

Then I saw rows of torn and gaping wounds, crisscrossed with knife cuts.

Liu Miaomiao immediately covered her mouth, her guilt and heartache for Lu Mingfei overcoming the churning feeling in her stomach.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..." Liu Miaomiao burst into tears.

Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to see a girl's tears and wanted to comfort Liu Miaomiao, but then he immediately realized that he didn't seem to have any experience in comforting girls. He could only stare blankly as Liu Miaomiao's shoulders trembled and tears streamed down her face.

Damn it, how is this kind of situation usually portrayed in TV dramas?

He remembered scenes from the Korean dramas his aunt loved to watch, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and put his arm around Liu Miaomiao's shoulder, letting her head gently rest against his chest.

"Hey, don't cry. It's actually none of your business. I would have gotten these injuries if I jumped off the train myself."

Liu Miaomiao buried her face in Lu Mingfei's chest, her hands tightly gripping his clothes, still crying, the iconic "Hello Kitty" hair clip stubbornly stuck in her hair.

After such a thrilling escape, it was still able to hold on steadily.

"You promised you'd listen to me in the subway station, so I'm ordering you not to cry."

Lu Mingfei tried to speak in the style of a domineering CEO, but it didn't work. He felt that his short-sleeved shirt was almost half-soaked from crying.

"If you cry again, I'll kiss you," Lu Mingfei suddenly said, as if possessed.

The moment those words left his mouth, Lu Mingfei suddenly regretted them, wondering what had gotten into him that made him utter such a threat, which sounded like sexual harassment.

However, to Lu Mingfei's surprise, those words actually worked.

Liu Miaomiao's trembling shoulders suddenly calmed down, her sobs gradually subsided, and she released Lu Mingfei's clothes, placing her hands properly on her knees.

She lifted her head from Lu Mingfei's chest, biting her lip. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyelashes were still glistening with tears. The blush on her face was unclear, whether it was from crying too hard just now or for some other reason.

Damn... do you really not want me to kiss you?

"You were joking about what you just said, weren't you?" Liu Miaomiao asked, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

"What was it again? I just wanted to stop you from crying, that's why I said that," Lu Mingfei explained hastily.

Liu Miaomiao lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes.

"Lu Mingfei, you...you should be able to tell that my family is quite strict about this aspect of my life. And I'm actually a rather conservative girl, and I take relationships quite seriously, so..."

She suddenly raised her head and looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes. Her gaze was so serious. She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind. Even the blush on her face had not completely faded.

"So... I will only let my boyfriend kiss me."

I will only let my boyfriend kiss me? What does that mean?

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He repeated the sentence in his mind several times, but he still couldn't figure out the reading comprehension question.

When Lu Mingfei was in school, the type of question he hated most was one that gave him a sentence and asked him to "try to analyze the author's intention".

What other intention could there be? Isn't the intention clearly stated in the words?

However, Lu Mingfei couldn't even understand the literal meaning of Liu Miaomiao's reading comprehension question.

On the surface, it seems to be a reading comprehension question, but upon closer inspection, it feels more like a multiple-choice question. However, she deliberately doesn't tell you what the options are, leaving you to guess.

At the same time, this also seems to be a necessary and sufficient condition in a math problem.

"I will only let my boyfriend kiss me," if you reverse that sentence, it becomes "If he kisses me, he has to be my boyfriend."

Liu Miaomiao stared at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei stared back at Liu Miaomiao. Neither of them said a word, and only the cold wind in the tunnel silently blew between them.

Looking at Liu Miaomiao's lips, which were as pink as peaches, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little thirsty.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Liu Miaomiao's shoulder. The moment his hand touched her, Liu Miaomiao's body suddenly trembled as if she had been electrocuted, but she immediately returned to her original calm.

The only difference was that both of them were breathing more rapidly.

"beep--!"

Suddenly, light shone from the depths of the tunnel, and the sound of a train whistle, accompanied by the clanging of wheels, approached, mercilessly shattering the tense and ambiguous atmosphere that had just been there—the next train was about to arrive.

"Hurry up!" Lu Mingfei grabbed Liu Miaomiao's hand and shouted, covering one ear amidst the whistle, "We need to get onto the platform quickly."

"Okay," Liu Miaomiao replied, limping as she was helped to her feet by Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, glancing at Liu Miaomiao's ankle, which was somewhat red and swollen. He wondered if Lu Mingze hadn't noticed the injury on her body earlier.

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei lifted Liu Miaomiao's legs with his hands, carried her on his back, and sprinted towards the platform, climbing with one hand.

Fortunately, Liu Miaomiao is very light, probably less than 90 pounds, and can support the weight of two people with just one hand.

Finally, just before the train was about to enter the platform, Lu Mingfei carried Liu Miaomiao onto the platform.

Lu Mingfei put Liu Miaomiao down, plopped down on the ground, and panted heavily.

"You were carrying me just now, is the wound on your back alright? Does it hurt...?"

Liu Miaomiao quickly went to look at Lu Mingfei's back, but was shocked to find that his back, which had been covered in blood and gore just moments before, was now scabbed over.
