Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

The boss was taken aback, wondering what this plague god was up to, when he saw Lu Mingfei smile innocently:

Do you still have this model of laptop? I'd like to buy one too.

"..."

……

Chapter 84 High School, Officially Begins

Lu Mingfei had thought that he probably wouldn't be able to buy a suitable computer today.

But I just happened to be passing by, saw Chen Wenwen, and happened to help her out.

And then I just happened to snag a bargain.

Lu Mingfei knew that 2006 was still a time when the real economy was very developed. The storefront fees for large computer malls like this were quite expensive.

If a computer is sold at cost price, then it's a loss.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't sympathize with the boss. After all, if he hadn't happened to run into Chen Wenwen, the boss would probably have successfully tricked Chen Wenwen into buying the foreign junk at a high price.

Before meeting him, the boss had cheated countless customers, so letting him suffer a loss was a lesson for him.

After leaving the computer mall, Lu Mingfei prepared to part ways with Chen Wenwen at the entrance.

"Then I'll take the bus back from here?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chen Wenwen's house was actually in the same direction as his, but he didn't want to reveal that he knew where Chen Wenwen lived.

"Can we wait a moment?" Chen Wenwen asked.

Chen Wenwen couldn't help but call out to the unfamiliar boy in front of her.

Actually, it's not entirely unfamiliar.

Chen Wenwen actually remembered that more than a month ago, she had met this boy once at "open find," a coffee shop she liked near Shilan Middle School.

He gave himself a piece of Swiss roll.

At the time, he was accompanied by another cool-looking guy. Chen Wenwen recognized that guy; he was Chu Zihang.

Her junior high school deskmate was a cheerleader for the school's basketball team. After going to the city's high school basketball competition, she was captivated by Chu Zihang from Shilan Middle School. She somehow collected photos of Chu Zihang and pasted them into the pages of her notebook.

Through constant exposure, she learned what Chu Zihang looked like.

The boy in front of her was dressed very simply, and standing next to Chu Zihang, his brilliance was naturally overshadowed by the handsome Chu Zihang.

But today, after the boy came out dressed in a more refreshing outfit, Chen Wenwen also discovered that the boy's appearance was actually not ordinary.

Even when he first appeared beside her, she didn't recognize him.

It wasn't until he spoke that her lazy yet magnetic voice made her recognize the person in front of her as the boy she had met at "open find".

"Is there something you need?" Lu Mingfei asked when Chen Wenwen suddenly called out to him.

However, he actually had a pretty good idea of ​​what Chen Wenwen was going to say.

Chen Wenwen must be wondering why she could call out her name.

Sure enough, Chen Wenwen spoke in a low voice:

"I'd like to ask, how did you know my name?"

Last time, Lu Mingfei managed to fool Su Xiaoqiang by feigning ignorance. But when it comes to Chen Wenwen, feigning ignorance won't work as well.

Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen are both meticulous girls, but their personalities are actually quite different.

Su Xiaoqiang is a straightforward and righteous girl. She can ignore or disregard many things that are not so important.

However, Chen Wenwen is the quiet type, and her quietness is not like Liu Miaomiao's. Chen Wenwen's quietness is accompanied by the sensitivity and sharpness of an artistic girl.

Pretending to be stupid won't work on Chen Wenwen.

However, before stepping forward to help Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei had already anticipated this situation and prepared his explanation in advance.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "I hope Chen Wenwen will believe me."

"We met when we were at Shilan Middle School, don't you remember?"

"Shilan Middle School?"

Chen Wenwen stared blankly at Lu Mingfei. She only remembered meeting Lu Mingfei once at "open find".

When was the last time I saw her at Shilan Middle School? How come she has absolutely no recollection of it?

"Have we met at Shilan Middle School?" Chen Wenwen asked, puzzled.

“Yes,” Lu Mingfei said seriously. “But you probably didn’t notice, but on the day the class assignments were announced, I was standing next to you. While you were looking at the list, you kept whispering your name: ‘Chen Wenwen, Chen Wenwen,’ and that’s how I remembered it.”

Chen Wenwen was taken aback. "You remembered it in just that short time?"

"Because we're in the same class, my name is right below yours."

Actually, that's a lie. There was still a significant difference in the middle school entrance exam scores between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen, along with Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao, firmly occupied the top tier on the class placement list.

Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, was at the very bottom of the list.

Chen Wenwen lowered her head and pondered, looking at the tips of her shoes.

When I see the rankings, I subconsciously read out my own name; I do have this habit.

Even when writing reading comprehension questions on English exams, I would silently recite the keywords I was looking for.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei had actually mentioned this detail, Chen Wenwen was starting to believe him. After all, only people who were very close to her would know about such little habits.

It seemed it wasn't a boy secretly watching her. Chen Wenwen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although Chen Wenwen never mentions it, it would be untrue to say that she is unaware of her physical advantages.

During her junior high school years, she was one of the most talked-about girls in the school. Love letters would often be slipped into her desk, and some people would even wait at the school gate to confess their love to her.

So when Lu Mingfei suddenly appeared beside her and called her name, Chen Wenwen felt a sense of unease.

However, when Lu Mingfei revealed the details of looking at the class assignment list, Chen Wenwen's wariness dissipated.

Of course, she didn't know that the two of them hadn't actually met on the day they were looking at the class assignment results.

The reason why the boy in front of me knows so many of my habits is all because of my keen observation of myself in my past life.

"You said you were assigned to the same class as me?" Chen Wenwen suddenly asked.

“Yes.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Then..." Chen Wenwen hesitated before speaking, "What's your name?"

Lu Mingfei didn't expect Chen Wenwen to ask his name, but he immediately told her his name.

"Lu Mingfei."

"The road?"

"Yes."

“I remember now, I saw this name on the list, and I thought it was a pretty good name at the time.”

"A nice name?" Lu Mingfei had never heard anyone praise his name before, not even Chen Wenwen from his previous life had said so. "What's so nice about it?"

"Bodhi has no tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand." Chen Wenwen murmured, "Your parents gave you this name because they wanted you to be free from any disturbances in your heart, to let everything pass by without leaving a trace, and to live a happy life."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for half a second; this was indeed the first time he had heard such an interpretation.

"Okay, I've remembered your name, Lu Mingfei." Chen Wenwen nodded. "My name is Chen Wenwen... but since you already know my name, it seems a bit redundant for me to introduce myself again."

Lu Mingfei really wanted to say that it was unnecessary, because he knew far more about Chen Wenwen than just her name.

But in the end, he still didn't say anything.

They walked together for a while, then parted ways at the intersection. Lu Mingfei continued walking, taking a detour to catch another car. Chen Wenwen, on the other hand, turned and went in another direction.

As the white moonlight gradually disappeared into the glow of the setting sun, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that everything was somewhat unreal.

When everything starts over too suddenly, you become afraid that you will suddenly lose it all.

……

However, Lu Mingfei wasn't the kind of sickly, artsy type; his sudden surge of sadness only lingered in his heart for a moment. Just as Chen Wenwen had said, everything passed through his heart without leaving a trace.

However, it wasn't just Lu Mingfei's unconventional style that left no trace; the summer vacation after the high school entrance exam also did.

In the blink of an eye, summer vacation is over, just like the money in people's pockets. You feel like you haven't used much, but when you touch your pocket, you find that it's empty without you even realizing it, and there's even a big hole in your pants pocket.

Lu Mingfei had already received his new school uniform.

With their backpacks on, they set off from their new homes.

Lu Mingfei's brand new high school life officially begins.

It will be officially available for purchase starting tomorrow. I feel like this chapter was cleverly timed (hehehe). This is my first time selling this book, so I don't really know what to say. Anyway, I will definitely continue writing this book seriously. I hope my readers will continue to be understanding. Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 85 Remarks on the launch

My first book is going to be available for purchase... at noon today.

Many people commented that I don't seem like a newbie, and I'm actually quite grateful for everyone's recognition of my writing skills, although this is indeed my first online novel.

From signing the contract on March 11th to its official release today, I've written about 200,000 words. This process has been arduous but also very rewarding.

Actually, the book's current performance has exceeded my initial expectations, with over 1000 genuine followers. These achievements wouldn't have been possible without everyone's support.

Thank you all for reading this far.

However, since this was my first online novel, I encountered quite a few pitfalls during the writing process. These pitfalls caused my grades to drop in the middle of the story, and even affected my mindset considerably. Fortunately, I persevered in the end.

If I hadn't made those mistakes, I think this book would have been much better.

But looking at it another way, the many pitfalls encountered in the first book are actually a good thing. This way, the second and third books can be written even more perfectly.

Then there's the issue of updates after the app is released.

Before it was published, my update frequency was 2 chapters a day, with 2000 words per chapter.

After it's released, the update frequency will remain at two chapters a day, but each chapter will be increased to 4000 words.

That is, it went from 4000 per day to 8000 per day.
