Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's War Journey

Lu Mingfei went to the public restroom next door. He went to the sink and quickly washed himself, trying to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body, as a student should not smell of alcohol.

He wanted to forget those hellish days; he wanted to return to his original life. He wasn't a monster; he was still that loser who was ridiculed.

"Keep going, Lu Mingfei. You're just an ordinary student... After graduation, become a civil servant or a white-collar worker, and your life will return to normal." Lu Mingfei looked at himself in the mirror and patted his face as he spoke.

But the eyes in the mirror held too much hidden meaning; they weren't the eyes of an eighteen-year-old boy.

He straightened his slightly bulky down jacket, then smelled himself to make sure he didn't smell of alcohol, before heading towards the school.

The school gate was bustling with activity as many parents drove their children to school. However, when they saw Lu Mingfei wearing a down jacket, they all cast strange glances at him.

Lu Mingfei ignored the stares and went to the classroom door on his own.

The moment I stepped into the classroom, the familiar hustle and bustle hit me. Students gathered in twos and threes, discussing last night's TV programs, new games, or gossip about a certain celebrity.

However, after Lu Mingfei entered, the classroom suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him, followed by a burst of loud laughter.

"Lu Mingfei, what are you wearing? It's only September, are you cosplaying a penguin?" A boy pointed exaggeratedly at his down jacket and said with a laugh.

"Are you short of money to buy new clothes? Do you want us to donate some to you?" Another girl covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

Hearing these mocking words, he would have wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear long ago, but now they don't bother him at all.

His gaze calmly swept over the mocking faces, and this unusual calm caused the laughter in the classroom to gradually subside, becoming sparse and eventually falling completely silent.

Everyone stared at him in surprise; Lu Mingfei seemed a bit off today.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, but silently walked to his seat. When he passed Zhao Menghua's seat, Zhao Menghua subconsciously avoided eye contact with him, and Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao wished they could bury their heads in their books.

The three of them are now certain that the person in the early morning was Lu Mingfei, wearing the exact same down jacket and with the exact same eyes.

After returning home in the early hours of the morning, Zhao Menghua told his father what had happened. As expected, he was scolded and had his allowance deducted for a month. However, his father also told him not to worry about those thugs.

His father was quite well-known in the local business community. How could an entrepreneur like that not have some connections in the underworld? So Zhao Menghua felt relieved.

However, he still felt a little uneasy when he saw Lu Mingfei. It was this guy who caused him to be scared by some thugs and robbed of a thousand yuan.

I even got a good scolding from my dad and had my allowance cut for a month. It was a huge loss for me.

However, this only allows Lu Mingfei to be smug for a while. He, Xu Miaomiao, and Xu Yanyan are all fine, but that doesn't mean Lu Mingfei is fine.

That thug now knows Lu Mingfei's name, address, and even his appearance. Things are about to get interesting.

Lu Mingfei sat down in his seat, took out his textbook, and after a brief silence, the students around him began to whisper again, but their voices were much lower, and their eyes would occasionally glance in his direction with curiosity and speculation.

Lu Mingfei tried to focus on his textbook when Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting next to him, spoke softly.

"Hey, Lu Mingfei, you're not really like they say, that you don't have money to buy clothes, are you? Do you want me to lend you some?"

"I just caught a cold recently, so I wore more clothes," Lu Mingfei said softly.

Su Xiaoqiang is a well-known rich second-generation in the class, and she is very generous. Lu Mingfei previously helped her run errands and earned a lot of money for internet fees.

"Lu Mingfei has handed in his homework." At this moment, a beautiful girl in a white dress stood in front of Lu Mingfei and said.

Looking at the girl in the white dress, Lu Mingfei was a little stunned. Her name was Chen Wenwen, and she was Lu Mingfei's former crush.

At that time, his biggest wish was to be with Chen Wenwen, but after the incident in the Andes Mountains, Chen Wenwen's image had disappeared from his heart, and in its place was a figure with red hair.

"No," Lu Mingfei said.

He came straight to school after a hangover, without bringing anything with him. His homework was still at his aunt and uncle's house, and even if he had brought it, it would have been completely blank.

Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Chen Wenwen was stunned. This was completely different from the Lu Mingfei she knew. Normally, Lu Mingfei would have fawned over her and asked her to give him some leeway, or pitifully begged to copy her homework.

Why is he now coldly saying no?

"Lu Mingfei, stop joking. The teacher will be here soon," Chen Wenwen said anxiously.

"I'm not joking," Lu Mingfei continued calmly.

Chen Wenwen wanted to say something more, but then the class bell rang. Chen Wenwen had no choice but to hug her homework, glare at Lu Mingfei with a mix of annoyance and confusion, and turn back to her seat.

She felt that Lu Mingfei was like a different person; his indifference and aloofness made her feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

"Hey, what's wrong with you today? Why are you acting like this towards Chen Wenwen? Don't you like her anymore?!" Su Xiaoqiang, who was standing next to Lu Mingfei, almost popped her eyes out when she heard the conversation between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen.

Hearing Su Xiaoqiang's words, Lu Mingfei was stunned again, but he quickly realized that his little secret, which he thought he had hidden well, was already known to everyone.

No wonder he was always ridiculed; now it does seem quite funny, and he couldn't help but laugh himself.

"Yes, I don't like it anymore," Lu Mingfei said with a light laugh.

Su Xiaoqiang was completely stunned. What was with such a decisive and frank answer? Shouldn't he have been secretive and stammering?

"Lu Mingfei, what medicine did you take today?" Su Xiaoqiang reached out to touch Lu Mingfei's forehead, wondering if he had a fever and was talking nonsense.

But just then, the teacher walked in.

"Hello, teacher!"

The whole class stood up to greet her, and Su Xiaoqiang had to awkwardly withdraw her hand that was halfway out, but her eyes were still full of disbelief and curiosity when she looked at Lu Mingfei.

Hello, students!

The first class was a Chinese language class. The teacher was explaining ancient poems and lyrics with intonation and rhythm, trying to bring the students into the emotional world of literati from thousands of years ago.

Lu Mingfei listened attentively in class. He wanted his life to return to normal: to go to school normally, to work normally, to get married and have children normally, and to live an ordinary life.

That month in the Andes was nothing but a nightmare for me.

Lu Mingfei was just an ordinary student, not a monster or a murderer.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the open textbooks. Chalk dust floated slowly in the beams of light. Students in the front row were diligently taking notes, while Su Xiaoqiang next to her was secretly playing on her phone. Someone in the back row was passing notes... How normal all of this was.

How he longed to be a normal part of life again.

Of course, we also need to find Nono.
