Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Lu Mingfei thought to himself that he hadn't organized these things; it was his senior brother with facial paralysis who had done it for him.

The senior student with OCD would even take out all the teaware in the cupboard that he didn't use and wipe them clean.

And the landlord here is quite strange. Who buys a teapot that comes with nine teacups?

Lu Mingfei opened the cabinet and immediately spotted two pairs of women's slippers inside. He hadn't expected that Senior Brother Chu would even prepare these for him.

Lu Mingfei took out slippers, and Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang sat on the shoe-changing stool by the door to change into slippers, straightening the shoes they had brought.

Although it was still summer, neither of them was wearing sandals.

Liu Miaomiao was wearing a pair of British-style calfskin shoes. After taking off the shoes, a pair of clean white socks were revealed on her feet.

Su Xiaoqiang was wearing a pair of dark blue Superga canvas shoes. Lu Mingfei remembered that Nuonuo had also worn this brand of shoes. Although it is a niche Italian brand, it is one of the favorite canvas shoe brands of the British princess.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't even wear socks. After taking off her shoes, she directly put her slender, fair feet into the slippers that Lu Mingfei had prepared and stomped them a few times.

Even with my bare feet inside the canvas shoes, there was no odor.

Lu Mingfei calmly withdrew his lingering gaze and wandering thoughts; he still remembered the important matter at hand.

"By the way, please have a seat. I'll go back to my room to put down my bag and then come out to make you some tea."

Lu Mingfei didn't forget to first put away the phone box in the room, so he quickly made an excuse and went straight to his room.

Just as Liu Miaomiao was about to sit down on the sofa, Su Xiaoqiang gently moved closer to her.

“Lu Mingfei’s rush back to his room is definitely suspicious,” Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Huh?" Liu Miaomiao blinked, not understanding.

"Silly." Su Xiaoqiang couldn't stand this naive, love-struck piano princess anymore. "It's the one I was just talking about."

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao's face, which had just cooled down, immediately turned red again, and she said softly, "No way..."

"If he didn't know how, why was he in such a hurry to go back to his room? Couldn't he have left his backpack in the living room?"

Su Xiaoqiang sneered, "If you're in such a hurry to get back to your room, there must be something you shouldn't be doing—why don't you follow me in and take a look?"

"Let's not, it's not good to run around like that on your first visit to someone else's house. Besides, even if there is something, it's normal, it seems like boys this age are all interested in this kind of thing..." Liu Miaomiao said, blushing.

Su Xiaoqiang could tell that Liu Miaomiao might not really not want to go in and take a look, but was just naturally shy.

He shrugged and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to go, I'll just go in and take a look by myself. If I find any spoils, I'll show them to you."

As she spoke, she put on her slippers and walked "tap tap tap" into the hallway of the room.

Liu Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and followed.

……

Back in his room, Lu Mingfei didn't even bother to put down his backpack before picking up the two Nokia boxes on the table.

He opened both phone boxes, but one contained a phone, while the other was empty.

There was really no need to separate them, since both Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao had given him the same phone. He had even considered keeping only Su Xiaoqiang's phone and selling the one Liu Miaomiao had given him to get cash.

After all, this phone actually holds its value quite well; he asked a phone store and they said he could sell it for almost the original price.

However, he dismissed the thought after it only flashed through his mind for a moment.

After all, it was a phone that Liu Miaomiao had bought for him from afar, so how could he possibly sell it?

……

Look around the room.

The simplest storage place is the wardrobe, but there is a risk in putting things in the wardrobe, as they can be seen as soon as you open the wardrobe door.

Then put it under the bed? Although most people probably wouldn't look under the bed, they might forget about it after a while.

After scanning the room, Lu Mingfei spotted his suitcase leaning against the headboard.

This seems like a good place to store things? And since I use my suitcase frequently, even if I forget about it one day, I can always find it when I open the box.

Lu Mingfei slammed the suitcase down, unzipped it, and discovered that the clothes inside had not yet been unpacked.

I stuffed it in, but there was only enough room for one box.

"Let's get out a few pieces of clothing first."

As Lu Mingfei was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps "tap tap tap" outside the room.

There wasn't even time to take out the clothes, so I could only stuff one of the boxes into the suitcase.

Just as she was about to put another box in the closet, she saw Su Xiaoqiang leaning against the door with her arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.

Liu Miaomiao also stood outside the door, blushing as she peeked out.

GG!

"What are you hiding?"

Su Xiaoqiang's gaze swept around the room, and suddenly she saw the Nokia phone box in Lu Mingfei's hand.

Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback. Could it be that Lu Mingfei was planning to hide this thing just now?

What's there to hide?

However, when she saw Liu Miaomiao beside her, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that she understood.

Su Xiaoqiang's idea is:

Lu Mingfei's phone was a gift from himself.

Although she felt that giving away a cell phone wasn't a big deal to her, Liu Miaomiao might not see it that way.

Why would I give Lu Mingfei a phone for no reason?

Previously at the dessert shop, Liu Miaomiao accidentally saw Lu Mingfei feeding her cake, which led to a misunderstanding.

If Liu Miaomiao finds out that I gave Lu Mingfei a phone again, it might cause another misunderstanding.

I guess that's why Lu Mingfei rushed back to his room to put the phone box away.

But if that's the case, then Liu Miaomiao doesn't know that Lu Mingfei bought a phone? Otherwise, Lu Mingfei would definitely have told Liu Miaomiao, so there would be no need to hide it.

Then I have to pretend I don't know anything about it.

Liu Miaomiao also noticed the phone box in Lu Mingfei's hand, and at the same time, she had her own wonderful associations.

It's just a phone box, why hide it?

Is Mingfei afraid that I'll tell Qiangqiang that the phone he's using now is a gift from me?

That makes sense. Although I don't think it's a big deal to give him a phone, Mingfei is a boy after all, and he must have his pride.

After all, he wasn't really keen on accepting the gift when it was given to him.

Actually, you could have just told me about this beforehand!

To protect Lu Mingfei's self-esteem, Liu Miaomiao decided to pretend she didn't know anything about it.

"The room is quite big," Liu Miaomiao said against her conscience.

“Yes, it faces south, so there’s plenty of sunlight,” Su Xiaoqiang agreed.

"The overall structure is also quite good."

"I'm even considering moving in."

Lu Mingfei was trying to figure out how to explain when he realized that the two of them hadn't mentioned anything about the phone at all, and had simply walked out of the room while they were chatting.

Lu Mingfei blinked.

Is that it... over and done?

"correct!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Su Xiaoqiang abruptly changed the subject.

"I found it strange when I walked in, and I've been wanting to ask you about it ever since," Su Xiaoqiang said. "Why is your house a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment? Do you need such a big house if you live alone?"

Su Xiaoqiang asked this question for two reasons: first, to steer the conversation in a different direction, and second, because she was genuinely curious as to why Lu Mingfei wanted to rent a three-bedroom apartment.

In her memory, Lu Mingfei was still that loser kid who would huddle in a corner of an internet cafe playing games, the kind who even needed someone to buy him instant noodles.

It was all because he listened to the perpetually expressionless senior's persuasion...

However, Lu Mingfei certainly wouldn't tell Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao Chu Zihang's "harem theory".

When faced with the two men, he resorted to his usual public statements.

"Oh, this? I originally planned to share this place with Senior Brother Chu Zihang, which is why I rented it. But after I paid the rent, Senior Brother Chu had a last-minute change of plans and couldn't come to stay, so I'm the only one living here now."

Upon suddenly hearing Lu Mingfei mention Chu Zihang, Liu Miaomiao felt as if a wind from a very long time ago had suddenly blown into her heart.

How to describe this feeling? It's not so much a sense of relief as an understanding.

After realizing she had fallen for Lu Mingfei, Liu Miaomiao wondered if she had fallen for someone else too quickly.

However, after careful consideration, she realized that her feelings for the two were different.

The feelings she had for Chu Zihang were less like liking and more like gratitude and admiration.

She was grateful for his help when she first stepped onto the stage of the Shilan High School gala. She admired him as the sun of Shilan High School, radiating its light.

When facing Lu Mingfei, Liu Miaomiao felt more of a deep-seated joy and dependence.

For no apparent reason, Liu Miaomiao felt incredibly safe and secure whenever she stood beside Lu Mingfei. It was as if he would transform into a mountain, shielding her from all the storms of life.

Even Liu Miaomiao didn't know why she had become so dependent on Lu Mingfei.

But the only thing she was certain of was that her feelings for Lu Mingfei were true love. Her feelings for Chu Zihang were more like admiration for an idol.

"What a pity."

Liu Miaomiao shook her head, clasped her hands together in front of her skirt, and smiled gently.

"It would be great if Senior Brother Chu could share an apartment with you. He's actually a very caring person. If you lived with him, I would feel more at ease letting you live outside."

Lu Mingfei had invited Chu Zihang before, but Chu Zihang declined.
