Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

The courtyard was spacious and bright, with fluorescent lights hanging high in the ceiling. Passersby couldn't help but turn around when they saw Liu Miaomiao's reddened eyes. Qiao Yiran, who heard Liu Miaomiao's words, was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Why do you want to go back again?" Qiao Yiran couldn't help but ask.

“If I run into a junior high classmate at the supermarket, I should at least say hello. Besides, Lu Mingfei and I are just ordinary friends. If I leave like this, it will seem like there’s something between us.” Liu Miaomiao raised her slender neck, like a proud and beautiful swan.

Qiao Yiran looked at Liu Miaomiao and nodded silently in her heart.

Don't worry, Miaomiao, no matter what, I will always stand behind you.

……

"They seem to be coming this way," Su Xiaoqiang said.

"I saw."

"That girl with red eyes," Su Xiaoqiang suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei curiously, "could she be Liu Miaomiao?"

"How did you know?" Lu Mingfei was shocked.

“I read that post on the Shilan Middle School forum, titled ‘About the Fallen Lu Mingfei and His Life of Walking on Thin Ice.’”

"Damn it! Why are you looking at that for no reason?!"

"Why can't I look?" Su Xiaoqiang put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows. "To be honest, once high school starts, I'll be a student at Shilan Middle School too. What's wrong with browsing the school forum?"

"..."

As Liu Miaomiao drew closer, Lu Mingfei wanted to cover his face but dared not.

He hadn't done anything wrong; he was just accompanying Su Xiaoqiang for a walk.

But somehow it gives me the feeling of being caught cheating by my girlfriend.

Moreover, his relationship with Liu Miaomiao is completely innocent and he has no regrets.

Thinking of the two most incompatible school beauties from Shilan Middle School in his previous life, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao, who were about to have their first meeting in this lifetime, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but overclock his CPU.

That damn Lu Mingze, he's even building a harem! Just Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang alone are enough to drive my CPU crazy.

No, I'm still single. Isn't this love triangle starting a little too early?

Chapter 52 What a coincidence, classmate Lu Mingfei.

Sunlight streamed down from the mall's transparent canopy, and Liu Miaomiao walked gracefully through the bright sunlight, with Qiao Yiran following behind her with her head held high, like a female bodyguard.

The more nonchalant Liu Miaomiao appeared, the more panicked Lu Mingfei became.

Liu Miaomiao's outfit today was similar to her usual style: a light blue cardigan over a white knee-length dress, a Prada handbag hanging naturally between her legs, and a pair of British-style leather shoes with pure white socks. Overall, it was a very well-behaved style.

Lu Mingfei stood up straight, watching Liu Miaomiao walk closer to him little by little.

Su Xiaoqiang stood with one hand on her hip, watching the scene unfold with amusement.

When she was two or three meters away from Lu Mingfei, Liu Miaomiao stopped.

Just as Lu Mingfei was wondering what Liu Miaomiao would say to him, Liu Miaomiao nodded gently, smiled, and spoke, her clear, cool hair falling naturally to one side.

"What a coincidence, Lu Mingfei," Liu Miaomiao smiled. "I didn't expect to run into you here."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Well, I'm a classmate now.

Lu Mingfei risked his life with Liu Miaomiao, fighting his way from Fuxingmen Station to Fushouling Station. Along the way, he also protected Liu Miaomiao from the harassment of the scumbag Zhao Menghua three times, which is why Liu Miaomiao changed her address from "Lu Mingfei" to "Mingfei".

In just one minute, "Mingfei" was transformed back into the even more unfamiliar "Lu Mingfei".

"Yes, yes, what a coincidence!" Lu Mingfei replied with a laugh, seemingly unaware of his own mistake.

He knew that Liu Miaomiao definitely wouldn't remember what happened between them in the Beijing subway, but the key was that Lu Mingfei remembered.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei is not a scumbag like Zhao Menghua; he is someone who feels indebted—especially to girls.

If it weren't for that subway train that suddenly came along, he almost kissed Liu Miaomiao on the lips. That was Liu Miaomiao's first kiss. Although he was a bit of a suspension bridge effect at the time, kissing her meant he would take responsibility for her.

Although they didn't end up kissing, Lu Mingfei still felt guilty towards Liu Miaomiao emotionally, and it was a guilty feeling tinged with ambiguity.

That's why when facing Liu Miaomiao this time, he looked like he was caught in the act and felt guilty.

"But I remember Lu Mingfei's home is in the east of the city, right?" Liu Miaomiao tilted her head, freeing one hand from her bag, and gently placed her hand on her chin as if thinking. "The east of the city is quite far from the CBD center. I don't think there's a direct bus there. It must have taken Lu Mingfei quite a while to come all this way, right?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. Damn! How am I supposed to answer that?!

If you answer truthfully, "I came here by taxi with my classmate Su Xiaoqiang."

So, putting aside my relationship with Su Xiaoqiang, why did I end up taking a taxi with Su Xiaoqiang?

Did they arrange to meet at a certain place before setting off?

So why would two high school students, a boy and a girl, come out together?

Are the two of them on a date?

However, if you lie, the lie will seem very clumsy.

First of all, Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei were classmates for three years in junior high school, so she had a general understanding of his family situation and knew that he was not someone who spent money very lavishly. Therefore, it was impossible for Lu Mingfei to have made the trip alone.

However, if Lu Mingfei says he came by bus, it would take about two hours to get from his home to the CBD center, requiring one bus transfer.

What could possibly make you travel such a long distance, taking a two-hour bus ride from the east of the city to the CBD in the west? Was it just to see this beautiful girl?

It seems like no matter how you answer, it's a question that could cost you your life.

Lu Mingfei was already sweating profusely.

Before Lu Mingfei could figure out how to answer, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly spoke up for him:

"He came here in a taxi with me."

Su Xiaoqiang said with an indifferent expression, while shifting her stance by alternating her legs.

Although Su Xiaoqiang was dressed simply today, she was the kind of girl who was as beautiful and fierce as a rose.

Although her position remained unchanged, the arrangement of the three people immediately shifted from Liu Miaomiao facing Lu Mingfei to Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao vying for supremacy.

The bright and flamboyant Su Xiaoqiang and the well-behaved and confident Liu Miaomiao, two girls with completely opposite styles, stood facing each other... all because of themselves?

In their previous lives, this kind of treatment would only have been given to Chu Zihang and Zhao Menghua.

Standing between the two men, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that life was quite unpredictable.

"correct……"

Lu Mingfei was about to say something when he suddenly saw Liu Miaomiao smiling and saying:

"Lu Mingfei, really, I've been standing here for so long, and you haven't even introduced me to the girl next to you?"

"Um, she's Su..."

Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, Su Xiaoqiang interrupted him.

"My name is Su Xiaoqiang." Su Xiaoqiang said in a joyful voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be a student at your Shilan Middle School when high school starts. Maybe we can even be in the same class?"

"Oh, it's Su! Welcome to our Shilan Middle School family in advance. My name is Liu Miaomiao, and I'm in the same class as Lu Mingfei. You're such a pretty girl, and you're also Lu Mingfei's friend. If you were assigned to the same class as us, Lu Mingfei would definitely welcome you."

"I've actually heard Lu Mingfei mention you before, saying you're the school beauty of Shilan Middle School. You really are beautiful today. I was actually hoping we could all be in the same class, but it seems a bit difficult. After all, you and Lu Mingfei were only classmates in junior high, and it's uncertain whether you'll be in the same class in high school. It's too hard for the three of you to be together. Maybe in the end, Lu Mingfei and I will be in the same class, and you'll be in another class, who knows?"

Although the two girls were chatting and laughing, Lu Mingfei always felt that there were hidden meanings and barbs in their words.

Moreover, whether it was Lu Mingfei's imagination or not, for a fleeting moment, he even saw lions in the eyes of both girls.

And she's a lioness!

……

In the first round of the match, Su Xiaoqiang gained a slight advantage, and the two sides took a break.

Looking at Liu Miaomiao, who was pouting and looked unconvinced, with her eyes still a little swollen, Su Xiaoqiang felt neither particularly happy nor proud.

Actually, to be honest, she didn't harbor any hostility towards Liu Miaomiao.

Her relationship with Lu Mingfei was indeed only that of online friends, at most just buddies. As a fellow girl, she could tell what Liu Miaomiao meant to Lu Mingfei; she probably saw the scene of Lu Mingfei feeding her cake earlier and saw her as a rival.

So she developed a playful attitude towards Liu Miaomiao, wanting to tease the pretty girl and, incidentally, help Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei advance their relationship, doing her a favor. That's why she deliberately said those things to tease Liu Miaomiao earlier.

In a real battle of wits, Liu Miaomiao was no match for the domineering Su Xiaoqiang, so she just wanted to stop there and not really go to the point of tearing each other apart.

However, Liu Miaomiao's stubbornness in refusing to admit defeat even when she was at a disadvantage intimidated Su Xiaoqiang.

She glanced at Lu Mingfei beside her and wondered what was so great about this loser that made a pretty girl like Liu Miaomiao compete with him.

At the same time, this also fueled Su Xiaoqiang's competitive spirit. She wanted to have a deeper encounter with Liu Miaomiao and see where Liu Miaomiao's determination really lay.

Chapter 53: Four People's Perspectives

Even someone as gentle as Liu Miaomiao would find it difficult to get the better of a girl like Su Xiaoqiang when they're verbally sparring.

Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly.

In fact, Lu Mingfei also found it quite strange. Although the two of them were also rivals in their previous life, Liu Miaomiao would usually take the initiative to avoid talking when Su Xiaoqiang spoke up, and she never had a direct argument with Su Xiaoqiang.

At the time, Lu Mingfei thought Liu Miaomiao was quite smart, knowing that she was not as sharp and capable as Su Xiaoqiang in her words, so she knew how to avoid her sharp edge.

Why did Liu Miaomiao, like a clueless fool, run into Su Xiaoqiang head-on this time?

Seeing that Liu Miaomiao was at a disadvantage, but still pouting and unwilling to admit defeat, Lu Mingfei knew that he had to step up.

If this continues, who knows how badly Su Xiaoqiang will bully Liu Miaomiao?

"Since we're all classmates, let's not just stand here. Why don't we come inside and have a seat?"

As Lu Mingfei spoke, he stepped between the two men.

Liu Miaomiao didn't look at Lu Mingfei, and turned her head to hum softly.

Su Xiaoqiang stared at Lu Mingfei with a half-smile, wanting to see how he would handle the situation, but Lu Mingfei confidently reached out and took Liu Miaomiao's hand.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned. Had they gotten to this point in their relationship?

Before she could react, she saw Lu Mingfei grab her wrist with his other hand and pull her and Liu Miaomiao into the store.

Su Xiaoqiang was completely dumbfounded, not just in a simple way, but in a way that caused her brain to freeze instantly.

She had anticipated all the possible actions Lu Mingfei might take, such as apologizing to Liu Miaomiao, or pulling her aside to explain to Liu Miaomiao that what had just happened was just a misunderstanding.

What I didn't expect was that Lu Mingfei would be so domineering and direct.
