Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, her nostrils twitched slightly, and she hummed as she exhaled at a steady pace.

The scent in the air wasn't the floral fragrance she was used to; instead, it was a refreshing ocean scent with a hint of saltiness.

Of course, the biggest difference was the other scent that her nose touched. It wasn't exactly pleasant, but it smelled like warm sunshine that made her want to get closer, giving her a strange sense of comfort and peace.

She instinctively wanted to find a more comfortable position, but the warmth from her hands made her pause and freeze.

Only then did she suddenly remember where she was and what she had done; her eyelids, which she had just tried to open, instantly lost their strength.

The bed felt like a small fireplace, so warm it made her face burn, but she just buried her face deeper and deeper, hoping to deceive herself. Lu Mingfei vaguely sensed the movement of an arm on his chest and woke up as well. He smelled that faint, heart-stirring fragrance. He opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight streamed in from the window. Because of the Tyndall effect, the shape of the sunlight was clear, and the floating dust particles shimmered in the channel of light, outlining the golden iris-like hairline of the woman beside him with exceptional clarity.

"Damn." Lu Mingfei swallowed hard. His heart was pounding violently, probably due to low blood sugar from waking up early. He stared intently at the ceiling, not daring to make a single move or even breathe loudly.

"Wait, wait, wait... let me think about what happened." Lu Mingfei frantically racked his brains.

Last night, Qian Renxue came to him crying and complaining, and then the complaints ended up in bed.

Bah! Lu Mingfei mentally slapped himself. No, it seems he was dragged to bed by Qian Renxue because Qian Daoliu was disrespectful to his elders, and Qian Renxue deliberately wanted to provoke him.

That's right, that's exactly it. He didn't dare to move all night and didn't even know when he fell asleep.

Thank goodness, thank goodness... thank goodness my foot!

Lu Mingfei instantly sobered up. He and his mother shared a bed, not to mention they had French kissed last night!

In the past, parents with elementary school children in TV dramas had to fast-forward through this part of the story, otherwise they would have to awkwardly explain why the story was picked up from the trash can.

He didn't dare to move a muscle all night, and his arms were sore and numb that he could barely feel them.

But there was no way around it; they'd already gone straight to bed, and the pace was too much for him. Although there were no explicit scenes, it was still far too stimulating. So this morning seemed exceptionally long; Lu Mingfei dared not move, and Qian Renxue dared even less.

Lu Mingfei was timid, while Qian Renxue was shy.

Although Lu Mingfei dried her clothes and hair last night, she cried so badly, her whole body was a mess, and there were probably still tear stains on her face. How could she face people like that?

So the two of them continued to pretend to be asleep, each hoping the other would wake up first to ease the awkwardness. But they waited and waited, and neither of them moved. Lu Mingfei glanced at her secretly, then closed his eyes again, as did Qian Renxue.

The two were like cats and mice, testing each other, neither daring to make the first move, and thus remained in a stalemate. If nothing unexpected happened, the shy young man and woman might remain in this stalemate forever.

But at that moment, a sudden cough rang out, causing both of them to open their eyes simultaneously and meet in gaze. At such close range, Lu Mingfei could see her eyelashes clearly, and Qian Renxue could see the same; she could even see her own reflection in Lu Mingfei's pupils.

Perhaps because he was thirsty, Lu Mingfei subconsciously swallowed as he looked at those bright red, luscious lips, while Qian Renxue blushed and quickly looked away.

It's strange, even though she was always the one taking the initiative before, she suddenly felt very embarrassed when she looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes.

"I, I'll go buy breakfast." Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the atmosphere was too strange, so he quickly covered himself with the blanket and slid off the bed like a caterpillar.

It wasn't until the door closed that Qian Renxue blushed and hugged the blanket tightly, burying her face in it. She groaned several times before stopping, feeling incredibly embarrassed just thinking about it!

"Phew, phew." Lu Mingfei only breathed a sigh of relief after running into the street. His brain capacity was simply not enough; he needed to calm down first. But the involuntary curve of his lips betrayed his true thoughts: he got the benefit and was still acting innocent; calm down my foot!

On the other side, Qian Renxue finally redid her makeup and opened the door. Qian Daoliu stood at the door, feeling a mix of emotions. It was truly unpleasant to have Bai Cai (a nickname for Qian Daoliu) personally push him into the pigsty.

But when he saw Qian Renxue looking as radiant as before, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Lu Mingfei wasn't entirely useless; he was quite good at comforting people. However, when he thought about what happened to his granddaughter last night, he still felt that Lu Mingfei had taken advantage of her vulnerability to some extent.

"Xiaoxue, let's go home," Qian Daoliu said. Now that Qian Renxue had recovered, she should return to cultivate and complete her divine trial. "No, Grandpa, I think this city is quite nice. I'll cultivate here from now on," Qian Renxue shook her head. Although Lu Mingfei's words did make her feel better, she still couldn't let go of the past. She didn't even know how to face her mother. Qian Daoliu, on the other hand, was stunned, as if struck by a blunt object. His worst fears had come true. Had his granddaughter given up on herself? "Xiaoxue, I know you like that boy, and Grandpa doesn't disagree, but this is a crucial time for you. You mustn't get carried away by lust and neglect your cultivation," Qian Daoliu earnestly advised.

Qian Renxue blushed more and more as she listened. What was going on? She was obsessed with male beauty. What good looks did Lu Mingfei have?

"Grandpa, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean to. I just don't want to go back to see that woman. I can still cultivate here. Once I meet the requirements, I'll go back to advance to the Divine Trial." Qian Renxue didn't dare let Qian Daoliu continue, otherwise who knew what other outrageous things her grandfather might say. "Alright, Grandpa, I'll stay in another room and won't cause any trouble. You should hurry back. You don't want anything to happen to the Douluo Palace while you're away, do you?"

Qian Renxue's series of moves completely shut down Qian Daoliu's next words.

He could only repeatedly warn her not to cause any death, and said things like she would suffer because she was a girl. Then, like a dejected old man, he slunk away from Hanhai City.

When Lu Mingfei returned with breakfast, he found Qian Renxue had changed her clothes and was standing in the courtyard, quietly gazing at the distant sea. Hearing Lu Mingfei's footsteps, she turned around and smiled sweetly.

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, but as he approached Qian Renxue, the smile on her face suddenly froze, inexplicably turning cold. "Mingfei, can you tell me who's staying in that room next door? Why would there be a girl's hair there?"
