But seeing that Liu Miaomiao chose tiramisu, and recalling the scene of Lu Mingfei feeding her earlier, she chose a margarita cookie to avoid suspicion.

Qiao Yiran chose a red velvet cake, while Lu Mingfei picked a sea salt croissant. The total bill was 112 yuan.

Back in the early 2000s, 112 was already considered a fairly high price.

After all, at that time, steamed dumplings in Shaxian only cost 1.5 yuan a basket. The four of them bought a few desserts and spent 112 yuan, which shows how expensive they were.

Because the dessert shop is not very big, the tables are relatively low, and the stools are only slightly higher than small stools.

The girls were all over 1.6 meters tall. Except for Qiao Yiran, who was wearing jeans, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao were wearing skirts that just reached their knees, showing off their beautiful and shapely calves.

After they sat down, because the stools were too low and there was nowhere to put them, they could only stretch out their fair and slender legs, leaving them lying across the ground.

"Don't peek!" Su Xiaoqiang, sitting next to Lu Mingfei, warned fiercely.

Liu Miaomiao on the other side didn't say anything, but kept tugging at her skirt, trying desperately to cover her thighs.

"Who cares to look?" Lu Mingfei grumbled, but still couldn't resist glancing at Su Xiaoqiang a couple of times.

As expected of Little Fairy, although in terms of looks alone, Liu Miaomiao can rival Su Xiaoqiang, when it comes to figure, Little Fairy's mixed-race advantage is undeniable.

Although both of them are around 1.6 meters tall, Su Xiaoqiang's legs are slender and straight, and her fair skin reveals a hint of girlish pinkness.

Liu Miaomiao's calves were slender, but they became fuller and more fleshy as they moved up to her thighs.

However, it's hard to say whose legs are definitely better. There's a saying: "Even a god can't save you from the bulge in your thighs."

Sensing Lu Mingfei's gaze, Liu Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then took off the light blue cardigan she was wearing and covered her legs with it.

"..."

Su Xiaoqiang and Qiao Yiran both cast disdainful glances at Lu Mingfei.

After the little incident, the group quietly started eating their desserts.

After all, at this point in time, no one knew each other yet, and the only common point of contact between Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang was Lu Mingfei.

"cough!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiao Yiran broke the silence first:

"Su Xiaoqiang... is that your name?"

"Mm." Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

"I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with Lu Mingfei?"

As a tennis player, Qiao Yiran directly helped her best friend by throwing an outside-spin serve at Su Xiaoqiang!

Su Xiaoqiang didn't expect Qiao Yiran to ask so directly. Her eyes subconsciously turned to look in Liu Miaomiao's direction, only to find that Liu Miaomiao was also looking at her, looking extremely nervous.

Does this girl really like Lu Mingfei that much?

Su Xiaoqiang shifted her thighs, placing her hands on her legs, and answered truthfully:

"Lu Mingfei and I are just ordinary friends, no, strictly speaking, we should be considered online friends?"

"Netizen?"

"They're just friends online, we met while playing StarCraft together," Lu Mingfei quickly explained.

"Really?" Qiao Yiran asked suspiciously, then suddenly turned to Liu Miaomiao and asked, "A few days ago, on Lu Mingfei's birthday, when you went on a date with him and brought him a cake, did he feed you?"

Was it Lu Mingfei's birthday a few days ago?

Having caught the key information, Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei sitting next to her.

"What are you talking about!" Liu Miaomiao said, feeling embarrassed and indignant. She lightly punched Qiao Yiran's shoulder. "There was no date. I just gave him a small cake."

"Okay, okay, even if you didn't go on a date, did he feed you cake back then?"

Liu Miaomiao lowered her almond-shaped eyes, "Mingfei and I are just ordinary classmates, how could I do such a thing..."

"See? Even Miaomiao has never been fed cake by Lu Mingfei. Would an ordinary netizen feed each other cake?"

Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei with annoyance: "Then you have to blame this guy who has no sense of boundaries. He suddenly stuck a piece of cake in my mouth and asked me if I wanted to eat it. What could I do?"

"I just saw that this dessert shop was offering samples, so I thought I'd get you a piece to try too..."

Lu Mingfei wanted to argue righteously, but suddenly he saw all three girls looking at him, and his momentum instantly deflated. He said, "Okay, it's my fault."

The main reason is that Liu Miaomiao's gaze is too pure, and she feels a little guilty when she faces Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei recalled what his good friend Hikigaya Hachiman had said: "To unite a group of people, what is needed is not a wise leader, but a common enemy."

Am I now an outsider?

"Ahem." Qiao Yiran cleared her throat. "The truth is now very clear. It was all Lu Mingfei's fault that caused the misunderstanding among us. So now, this court will pronounce judgment on the culprit, Lu Mingfei."

Lu Mingfei suddenly had a bad feeling: "What do you want to do?"

Qiao Yiran smiled mischievously: "This court hereby pronounces its verdict: you are also punished to feed Miaomiao a bite of cake."

"what?"

Lu Mingfei blinked.

"That's it?"

Qiao Yiran was taken aback. Something was wrong. Why was Lu Mingfei's reaction different from what she had imagined?

In her imagination, Lu Mingfei, a naive and innocent guy, shouldn't have immediately blushed and refused to feed Miaomiao.

Then, under his own coercion, did he reluctantly and unwillingly pick up the spoon to feed Miaomiao cake?

Why is Lu Mingfei so calm?

I know! This guy must be putting on an act. He must be internally in turmoil! Qiao Yiran was certain.

She couldn't believe that any boy could be so calm when facing Miao Miao.

"Is that all? What, you think the punishment is too lenient?"

It's actually much lighter than I imagined... Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's only 2006, and Qiao Yiran and Liu Miaomiao are still fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls.

For boys and girls of this age, the hardest thing they do every day is study, the most tiring thing is carrying a heavy backpack from home to school, and the most exciting thing they do is slip love letters into the desk of the boy or girl they like.

Many of their troubles are still far away.

In their eyes, feeding cake to a member of the opposite sex might indeed be a thrilling and immoral act.

However, Lu Mingfei has seen his share of ups and downs. Although he has never been in a serious relationship, he has had quite a few ambiguous interactions with girls.

He'd cuddled Nuonuo, who was wearing a bikini, in the Three Gorges area; touched Zero's thigh in Japan; played sword dance with Liu Miaomiao in the Nibelungen; and even worked as a male escort in Takamagahara for a few months. Although his performance wasn't great, he'd still learned some proper techniques.

“I could…” Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Miaomiao, “but that wouldn’t be good for Liu Miaomiao.”

Liu Miaomiao originally wanted to refuse, but Qiao Yiran grabbed her arm first and said, "Hehe, as long as you're not afraid, we won't back down, right, Miaomiao?"

"me……"

Liu Miaomiao was so confused and at a loss because of her best friend's unexpected help that she didn't know what to do. Before she could answer, Qiao Yiran agreed for her: "Miaomiao has already tacitly agreed!"

But Liu Miaomiao doesn't seem to be agreeing at all...

"Okay, I'll feed him."

Lu Mingfei moved the piece of tiramisu that Liu Miaomiao had on the table in front of him closer to himself, then picked up a fork and spoon, gently scooped out a corner of the cake, and fed it to Liu Miaomiao about five centimeters from her mouth.

Huh? Really, really feeding me?

Looking at the cake in front of her and then at Lu Mingfei's serious expression, Liu Miaomiao's heart was pounding and her face was burning red.

Forget it, forget it!

Liu Miaomiao suddenly closed her eyes and lowered her head.

A wonderful flavor melted slowly on my tongue. How strange, I clearly ate this cake just now, so why does it taste sweeter now?

I'd like to have another bite...

However, despite thinking about it, the shy Liu Miaomiao didn't dare to voice her thoughts.

Qiao Yiran proposed this punishment to tease Lu Mingfei and see his reaction, but unexpectedly it made her best friend's face burn with embarrassment.

If Miaomiao is so careless, won't she be even less likely to escape Lu Mingfei's clutches once she's no longer at Shilan Middle School...?

Although she didn't mind Lu Mingfei dating her best friend, she hoped that Miaomiao could maintain her own identity in the relationship and not do what Lu Mingfei said today.

Thinking about the fact that high school would last for three whole years, Qiao Yiran began to worry about her best friend.

I can only hope that she and Lu Mingfei won't be assigned to the same class. Sigh.

……

After the little incident of feeding each other cake, the group gradually became more familiar with each other. Although the three girls were not very familiar with each other and had different interests, once they started talking about luxury brands, they were like a floodgate opened and couldn't stop talking.

From limited-edition handbags to expensive cosmetics, and then to the autumn color trends from Paris Fashion Week—all topics Lu Mingfei couldn't understand. Towards the end, they even excitedly exchanged their QQ numbers.

However, Lu Mingfei, who was able to rest for a while, was quite happy with this situation.

At least I won't be the center of attention anymore because of a few girls.

The conversation flowed quickly, and Lu Mingfei swiped a Margarita cookie from Su Xiaoqiang. While they were eating it, they overheard a few people talking about a Hermès bag that wasn't available in mainland China, only at the boutique in the Landmark Plaza in Hong Kong. Su Xiaoqiang mentioned that she was planning a trip to Hong Kong in August.

Lu Mingfei's ears twitched, and he keenly caught the sentence.

"Are you going to Hong Kong in August?" Lu Mingfei asked Su Xiaoqiang.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoqiang said. “Chenglong’s new movie, ‘Baby Project,’ is having its premiere. My dad is one of the small investors in the movie, and he’s going to the gala, so I’m going along. What, do you want me to buy you something?”

"Holy crap, is Chenglong the Chenglong I was thinking of?"

"Otherwise what? Besides him, which other dragon city is there in China?" Su Xiaoqiang said smugly.

When Lu Mingfei was in high school, he heard that Su Xiaoqiang's father was a coal mine owner and his family owned a mine.

I'd heard that coal mine owners love investing in movies and TV series, I never knew it was true!

"What do you want me to buy for you? Tell me."

Many digital products are cheaper in Hong Kong than in mainland China. Su Xiaoqiang guessed that Lu Mingfei probably wanted him to help bring back a grey market mobile phone or something similar.
