Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

"Ah."

"I actually have quite a few feelings for you too."

Liu Miaomiao bit her lip and nodded, "Mmm..."

Now you're at a crossroads, with only two choices: confess your feelings or not.

If you choose option A, you'll be greeted by a beautiful and understanding girl like Liu Miaomiao.

Option B suggests that your relationship with her may still have a future and could progress further, but for now, it may come to an end.

Whether you should kiss the princess or continue living a life of celibacy is entirely up to you.

"Then……"

"It goes without saying."

Liu Miaomiao extended a finger and gently touched Lu Mingfei's lips.

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"There's no need to say anything more." Liu Miaomiao shook her head. "You know I like you, and I know you have feelings for me, that's enough for now. Perhaps it's not the right time to say anything more."

Lu Mingfei suddenly understood why Liu Miaomiao had stopped him from continuing. Liu Miaomiao also lacked the courage to face what she was about to say. Many things, though understood implicitly, change in nature when spoken aloud.

"Actually, I don't know when I started liking you. Come to think of it, we officially started getting to know each other from that rainy day when you asked to borrow my phone. After that, we took graduation photos together and went on a graduation trip to Beijing for a few days, that's all. So when I heard that you had feelings for me, I was quite happy, at least I wasn't the only one having a one-sided crush."

Lu Mingfei really wanted to tell Liu Miaomiao that she should be more confident. "You're one of the three most beautiful girls at Shilan Middle School, the piano prodigy Liu Miaomiao, someone who can rival the 'Little Fairy' Su Xiaoqiang. How could any boy not like you?"

Liu Miaomiao lowered her head. "But I also realized that there's a difference between 'liking' and 'having a good feeling'. Maybe it's because we haven't spent enough time together to let this 'good feeling' evolve into 'liking'."

"But it doesn't matter."

Liu Miaomiao suddenly clenched her cute fists, looked up, and met Lu Mingfei's gaze directly. Her eyes, still wet with tears, flickered with nervousness, but there was something else in that nervousness, like a kind of determination.

She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to continue, "We'll be in the same class for three more years in high school... I'll let you know how much I like you."

After saying these words, Liu Miaomiao seemed to realize how reckless and audacious she had just spoken, and her face belatedly flushed red.

Then he quickly shook off Lu Mingfei's hand, covered his face with his other arm, and ran forward along the pebble path in the park.

Lu Mingfei stood there blankly, still pondering Liu Miaomiao's words.

I want you to understand how much I like you.

What does this mean?

Confess your feelings and then run away?

Can this be played without cutting?

Lu Mingfei never imagined that Liu Miaomiao would take away two of his firsts in this life. From the first time a girl wished him a happy birthday to the first time a girl confessed her feelings to him, it was all Liu Miaomiao.

She wasn't this assertive when she had a crush on the expressionless senior, so why did she suddenly change like this?

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether to laugh bitterly or feel miserable. Before he could even make a choice, Liu Miaomiao had already done it for him.

However, watching Liu Miaomiao's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something.

Whatever choice you make, you should catch up now.

There's no other reason than to hitch a ride back in Liu Miaomiao's car, so I had to chase after her.

The third update is being written and will be released at midnight!

Chapter 68 Seeing Someone Off at the Airport (Third Update)

Although Liu Miaomiao ran away first, she was still a thin and frail girl, and Lu Mingfei eventually caught up with her.

Although they caught up, the previous exchange created an awkward atmosphere between them. Lu Mingfei was alright, but Liu Miaomiao, being a shy young girl, kept her eyes darting nervously away from him.

In this situation, eating is out of the question, so the only option is to take Liu Miaomiao home first.

However, Lu Mingfei forgot that he lived in the east of the city, while Liu Miaomiao lived in the west, and the CBD was closer to the west. The taxi would take a detour, dropping Liu Miaomiao off at the California Community first, before taking him to the east of the city.

Lu Mingfei's heart was bleeding when he paid the taxi fare.

This 80 yuan taxi fare is not just a taxi fare; in Lu Mingfei's eyes, it is the start-up capital for him to make his money back again and again!

If you go all in on Sun Yifeng to finish fourth in the WCG China Finals in August, and then go all in on Li Xiaofeng to win the WCG World Championship in November, turning 80 into 8000 is more than enough.

"If you don't come back soon, senior brother with facial paralysis, I'm really going to have to resort to illegal means to make money!"

Lu Mingfei prayed that he would see Chu Zihang's message when he got home.

However, reality is often contrary to expectations. Chu Zihang did not leave him a message, and his gray QQ profile picture seemed to indicate that he still had some time before returning home.

……

Erii opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was the white ceiling. As she turned her head slightly, she saw her brother sitting by the bed, Sakura a little further away, and the crow and the demon guarding the door.

Looking down again, she saw the cables and patches connecting her chest and wrists.

She closed her eyes, and only opened them again after a long while, as if she had just had a grand dream and was still savoring it.

The first person to notice that Erii had woken up was Genjiro. He sat by Erii's bedside, holding her hands and resting them on his forehead, his head bowed as if he were making some kind of sacred prayer.

Feeling Erii's hand twitching slightly in his palm, Genji immediately woke up from his nap.

"Eri, you're awake!" Genji opened his eyes groggily, meeting Erii's somewhat tired gaze.

Upon hearing Genjiro speak, Yabuki Sakura, Crow, and Yasha, who were standing nearby, also gathered around with concern, asking questions such as, "How is the young lady's health?" and "Is the young lady feeling unwell anywhere?"

Erii nodded first, then shook her head.

Nodding is an answer to their first question, indicating that you are in good health. Shaking your head is an answer to their second question, indicating that you are not feeling unwell.

Hearing Erii's answer, Genji felt a little relieved. Erii was a child who was indifferent to joy and sorrow, and naive to the ways of the world. She would answer any question truthfully. Unlike a "good child" in the traditional sense, she wouldn't pretend to feel comfortable when she was uncomfortable.

Erii said she was feeling well, which means her current condition is relatively stable. The electronic devices also showed that Erii's vital signs were all good, with no abnormal values.

In room 8704, when Erii went berserk, Genji almost went insane. He nearly couldn't resist disobeying Tachibana Masamune's orders and strangling that Dr. Chen.

What he didn't understand was why his father would protect Dr. Chen, who had almost killed them all.

Could Erii's outburst really have been just an isolated incident?

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Sakura Yabuki ran to the door, and when she returned, Masamune Tachibana was following behind her.

Yuan Zhisheng immediately stood up from his seat.

"I've come to visit Erii."

Tachibana Masamune nodded to Genjiro, then looked at Erii lying on the bed.

"Ah, Erii, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

Erii nodded again.

"I'm so glad you're alright. Zhisheng and I were really worried about you!"

Erii looked around, seemingly searching for something, perhaps her little notebook. But it wasn't with her; she'd probably left it in room 8704.

"Excuse my bluntness, old man."

Genjiro stepped forward and walked up to Tachibana Masamune.

"Although Erii's condition has stabilized after the serum injection, we cannot guarantee that it will remain stable indefinitely."

Although we brought enough serum with us, this is China, not Japan. If anything unexpected happens, it will be difficult for us to control the situation here.

"Then what do you mean?"

Genjiro said, "My suggestion is to send Erii back to Japan as soon as possible. If we send her back to Japan, we will be able to better monitor Erii's physical condition and control the situation after the accident than we can do here."

Moreover, Erii's condition this time is more serious than most of her previous cases. We had to administer twice the usual dose of serum to stabilize her vital signs at normal levels. I think it's necessary to take Erii back to China immediately for a more thorough examination.

After a moment of silence, Tachibana Masamune slowly spoke, "This trip to China is a very good opportunity to heal Erii's body. My original intention was to wait until Erii's condition stabilized before trying Dr. Chen again..."

Genji said anxiously, "But...!"

Tachibana Masamune raised his hand, interrupting Genjiro, and continued speaking.

“But Chisei, you’ve grown up too. Soon, you’ll be the man who inherits the position of head of the Snake Clan. You need to learn to have your own judgment and opinions on many things. Since you think Erii should go back, then I support your decision.”

As Tachibana Masamune spoke, a hint of relief appeared on his face. He reached out and patted Genjiro's shoulder, looking every bit like a loving father: "Keep it up, and grow quickly into a man capable of being the head of the Snake Clan."

"Father……"

……

Eight o'clock in the evening.

When the QQ notification sounded, Lu Mingfei, who thought it was his stoic senior finally sending a message, ran to his broken laptop in a panic.

Upon checking the message, it wasn't from the guy with facial paralysis, but from Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang changed her profile picture from Asuka from "EVA" to Rin Tohsaka from the currently popular anime "Fate/stay night".

"I never would have guessed in my past life that Su Xiaoqiang was a fan of anime and manga."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself as he opened Su Xiaoqiang's chat window.

RoseiraSu: "I'm flying directly to Hong Kong tomorrow. Besides buying lottery tickets, is there anything else I can bring you?"

What should I bring?

Lu Mingfei thought about it. Buying parallel import electronics from Hong Kong could earn him some extra money. But compared to buying lottery tickets, the profits wouldn't be much, so it wasn't worth it.

Although I still want Su Xiaoqiang to buy me a grey market phone, I haven't earned the money yet, so I can't let someone else pay for it first, right?

I'll talk to Su Xiaoqiang about buying a phone once I've made some money.

Lu Mingfei replied: "No more for now."

RoseiraSu: "Okay, then that's settled."

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to close the chat window after the conversation ended, Su Xiaoqiang sent another message.

RoseiraSu: "My flight is at 5 PM, would you like to come see me off?"

……

My typing speed is rather slow, and I've also been experiencing some health issues, so the third update is a bit late. Sorry everyone.
