She knew that Liu Miaomiao's family was also quite well-off, even comparable to her own, and that she must have been a pampered little girl since childhood.

How could someone be so thoughtful, considering so many potential problems Lu Mingfei might encounter living alone?

Is this the magic of love?

Does Lu Mingfei really have that much charm?

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."

Su Xiaoqiang sighed helplessly.

"Qiangqiang, you're such a kind person."

Liu Miaomiao swung Su Xiaoqiang's hand and then walked happily toward Lu Mingfei.

Watching Liu Miaomiao skip and hop away, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh that the old saying was truly true.

Love truly can make people blind.

……

The big cleaning on the first day of school was really just a formality.

Why is it called a "show project"? Because private elite schools like Shilan Middle School actually hire many school workers to maintain the campus environment.

The purpose of the big clean-up is more to encourage students' participation in labor.

However, this approach doesn't really make much sense, since most students attending Shilan Secondary School already have nannies at home, or at the very least, temporary cleaning staff. Who actually does housework at home?

I guess only Lu Mingfei could do that.

After the cleaning was finished, most of the girls had left the classroom, except for Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang.

This is usually how it goes during spring cleaning: girls are responsible for wiping windows and blackboards, while boys are responsible for sweeping, mopping, and taking out the trash. So girls usually finish before boys.

It was only a little before eleven o'clock when we finished the big cleaning.

When Lu Mingfei finished washing the mop, tidied himself up, and returned to the classroom, Liu Miaomiao had already packed his schoolbag for him.

Let's go~

Liu Miaomiao hugged Lu Mingfei's schoolbag, her eyebrows curving into a smile.

Su Xiaoqiang leaned against the classroom door, standing there coolly.

The late summer wind, still carrying a hint of sweltering heat, made the girls' bangs and the boys' stray hairs sway and flutter.

Even the thoughts of young boys and girls couldn't help but be stirred by the gentle breeze of late summer.

The three of them, carrying their schoolbags, walked together on the gravel-paved school path, attracting many people to turn around and stop and stare.

The boys were discussing who these two pretty girls were.

The girls inquired whether anyone knew that handsome, clean-cut young man.

Of course, the discussion focused more on why the three of them ended up together.

2006 was the year when Taiwanese idol dramas were all the rage, and some imaginative girls couldn't help but start speculating about the relationship between the three people.

As expected, "inner monologues" are always in vogue.

After the three left the school gate, they no longer walked side by side, because the two of them did not know the way, so Lu Mingfei had to lead the way, while Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang followed behind.

"Mingfei, is your home far from here?"

Liu Miaomiao asked from behind.

"It's not far, it's right next to the school."

As Lu Mingfei answered, he was thinking to himself what excuse he should come up with to go back to his room first, put the box away, and then let them in.

Lu Mingfei's rented apartment was just two streets away. Liu Miaomiao, who was following behind Lu Mingfei, did not pay special attention to how to get there. Instead, she looked around and saw what shops were along the street.

When they come across breakfast shops or restaurants, they will deliberately slow down to check how clean the storefront is.

If I see any stores that don't meet hygiene standards, I'll secretly write down their names.

After all, high school studies are so demanding, and Lu Mingfei is home alone, so he definitely doesn't have time to cook for himself, and there's no housekeeper or anything like that at home.

So she had to help Lu Ming by pointing out the names of shops that weren't clean and telling him not to eat breakfast from those shops.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what Liu Miaomiao was thinking, but he did notice that she was walking very slowly and kept stopping and starting.

So he slowed down to match Liu Miaomiao's pace.

As a result, a journey that Lu Mingfei could usually complete in fifteen minutes took him more than half an hour this time.

"This is my neighborhood."

Finally reaching the entrance of the residential area, Lu Mingfei paused briefly, turned around, and introduced himself to Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang.

"Poly..."

Su Xiaoqiang looked at the name of the residential complex engraved on the artificial rock outside the gate and nodded.

She vaguely remembered that her family had some collaboration with the community when it was built.

In this era, mid-to-high-end residential communities have already adopted access control systems. Lu Mingfei swiped his access card to open the community gate, went in first, and held the door open for Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang. He closed the door after the two entered the community.

Upon entering, the first thing Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang did was to survey the neighborhood.

"The ground is made of patterned tiles and concrete, which is a bit tacky."

"The green coverage rate is okay, but the configuration of green plants is not reasonable. They planted all summer plants, so the community will look bare in winter. It should be because the seasonal change was not taken into account when the design was first made."

"Also, there's no landscape design, and even fewer public facilities... But you can't expect much from a community of this caliber."

After scanning the area, Su Xiaoqiang gave the following evaluation.

Although Liu Miaomiao did not express her opinion, she was frowning and pouting, seemingly dissatisfied with the environment of the community.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't compare your California Sunshine and Yiyin Villas to this neighborhood, okay? The prices in your neighborhood are not even in the same league as here."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but defend his new home.

“I think this place is pretty good, much better than the neighborhood where my uncle and aunt live.”

“That’s true, at least this community has implemented pedestrian-vehicle separation.” Su Xiaoqiang nodded, a few stray strands of hair fluttering above her eyelashes. “Let’s go, let’s see how your place is.”

Lu Mingfei rented a three-bedroom apartment from a young couple. To be honest, Lu Mingfei was quite satisfied with the interior decoration of the apartment, which was much better than he had imagined.

Upon arriving at Building 13, they entered the elevator, which finally stopped on the 14th floor. Lu Mingfei led Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang to the door of room 1409.

"131409..."

Su Xiaoqiang read out the address of Lu Mingfei's rented room, feeling that the number was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

"Do we really want to go in and take a look?"

Before taking out his keys, Lu Mingfei tried to resist.

"Maybe we shouldn't go in. We just moved in yesterday, and the place is a mess. Shoes and clothes are scattered everywhere, and we haven't had time to clean it yet."

"Isn't that perfect?" Liu Miaomiao smiled. "It's my first time visiting, and I didn't bring any gifts. I can help you pack something as a present."

Lu Mingfei was stunned, not expecting Liu Miaomiao's domesticity to be so outrageous.

"This isn't very appropriate, I'd feel really bad."

Lu Mingfei tried to decline, but Su Xiaoqiang gave a cold smile: "Are you so afraid of us coming into your house? Do you have something shameful hidden there that you're afraid we'll see?"

"Something shameful?" The innocent Liu Miaomiao hadn't even realized what was going on.

Su Xiaoqiang gave a hint: "What would a 16-year-old male high school student secretly look at when he's home alone?"

Liu Miaomiao tilted her head, and a few seconds later, a flush of drunkenness suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She bit her lip and looked at Lu Mingfei timidly.

"Ming, Mingfei, even though you're home alone, you should still try to control yourself..."

"Pah, pah, pah, Liu Miaomiao, don't listen to Su Xiaoqiang's nonsense. How could I possibly hide such a thing?"

Those things must have been hidden away a long time ago, how could you possibly have found them!

Thinking this to himself, Lu Mingfei quickly tried to distance himself from the situation while glaring fiercely at Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang returned Lu Mingfei's fierce glare, then stuck out her tongue with a wicked grin.

"If you're not hiding anything, then open the door and let us in."

"Good good."

Lu Mingfei turned around, took a deep breath, then took out his key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it.

First of all, thank you all for your support. The first-day subscription results for this book are quite good, exceeding my expectations, with around 1000 subscriptions.

If I could post 8k daily, my income might even exceed my current salary.

However, without a full-time job, achieving a daily update speed of 8 words is quite difficult.

My current writing speed is about 1000 words per hour, and it would take me about 8 hours to write 8000 words a day.

So after thinking about it for a day, I decided to quit my job and try it full-time, since I wasn't very happy with my current job either.

Therefore, I may need to handle some work handover in the next couple of days, so the update progress might be a bit slow. I might not be able to guarantee 8 updates per day, but I'll try my best to update 6 per day.

Once you go full-time, your speed will catch up.

I hope everyone understands, and I would also like to thank you again for your support.

Chapter 89 The Tacit Understanding Between Su and Liu

"It's not messy at all, it's actually very clean."

Listening to what Lu Mingfei had just said, Liu Miaomiao thought that Lu Mingfei's house was really messy, and she was a little disappointed.

Liu Miaomiao herself is a little bit of a clean freak and likes boys who are clean.

However, she comforted herself, thinking that boys are all so unconcerned about details, and besides, Lu Mingfei's house wasn't like her own, where someone would clean it for her; it was normal for it to be a little dirty.

But when they opened the door, there was none of the filth and disorder that Lu Mingfei had described.

A dust-proof mat was placed at the entrance, and neatly arranged men's slippers were next to the shoe-changing stool. The sofa was covered with a cloth cover, and the items on the coffee table were also arranged in a very square manner.

Originally, Liu Miaomiao entered the house expecting a dirty and messy place, but the fact that it was so clean and tidy made her feel a little more favorably toward Lu Mingfei.

"Haha, it's just averagely clean."
