Thanks to the three people's advice, Lu Mingfei's day plan went very smoothly.

Right now, however, he was staring blankly at the chilled osmanthus plum juice in front of him.

The two are currently in a dessert shop. Because they are on vacation, the secretary sitting opposite them has changed out of her usual business suit. Today she is wearing a loose gray cardigan, a white short-sleeved shirt underneath, light blue jeans, and a small canvas bag on her lap.

"My plum juice... is it a little too little?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the glass with a suspicious expression.

He went to get the taro cake and waited in line for a while before coming back. Lu Mingfei's eyesight is pretty good now, and he noticed something was wrong soon after he sat down.

"Is there?"

Ling loosened the straw she had been holding in her mouth and lifted her head.

I don't think I have a habit of biting straws.

Lu Mingfei picked up the glass, which contained a thick straw with a slight tooth mark on it.

"They might have taken the wrong one."

Zero's face remained expressionless as she pushed her cup towards him. "That cup is mine."

Lu Mingfei stared at the two bitten straws and fell into deep thought.

彳亍口巴.

Lu Mingfei silently accepted the plum juice that she pushed towards him.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lu Mingfei seemed to see that Zero's cheeks flushed slightly when he put the bitten straw in his mouth.

………………

8 PM.

Lu Mingfei drove Ling back to her current residence.

This is a high-end villa area, and according to the secretary, she shares the apartment with someone.

Besides her, she also has two roommates, both of whom are mature and reliable young women.

During the day, Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to ask her about the incident the night before when she claimed to be Lu's daughter-in-law.

Ms. Ling calmly stated that it was simply a secretary's duty and that he shouldn't overthink it.

The massive Cadillac Escalade was parked outside the villa gate. Zero had probably notified his two roommates in advance to leave the door open, as the villa gate was currently open.

Wall lamps are embedded on both sides of the courtyard wall, their warm yellow hue filling the air with the fragrance of roses as the evening breeze blows.

Lu Mingfei gestured for Ling to wait a moment, then ran to the trunk and took out a pot of chamomile.

[Blue Item - Lucky Chamomile]:

"Chamomile, which can boost luck, has the same effect as a father's water bottle, a wife's necklace, a daughter's pocket watch, and a son's slingshot..."

Because he had enough points, Lu Mingfei took some time during the day to do a ten-pull. He got this pot of chamomile from an item called the [Random Lucky Flower Box].

Lu Mingfei originally thought it would be a bouquet of flowers, but after the fight started, he found that it was a potted plant with soil still attached.

Holding the potted plant, Lu Mingfei approached Ling, glanced at the chamomile, and smiled inexplicably.

Zero tilted his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Hmm... Have you seen 'Léon: The Professional'?"

Lu Mingfei said.

"Léon: The Professional" is a classic action-crime film directed by French director Luc Besson in 1994. It tells the story of a forbidden bond between a lonely hitman and a vengeful young woman. With its extremely contrasting character relationship, cold aesthetics and warm core, it has become a benchmark in film history.

Okay, that's too encyclopedic. What Lu Mingfei thought of was a famous scene in the movie where the male and female leads walk side by side on the street, the male lead carrying a killer's tool bag and the female lead holding a pot of silver queen.

Many movie fans would print screenshots of this classic cinematic shot, known as "one big and one small on the horizon," and stick them on their walls or behind their doors... but Lu Mingfei never did.

When he lived with Lu Mingze, there was a Kobe Bryant dunk poster behind the door. At that time, Lao Da still had a lot of hair and was still wearing size 8 clothes.

"Um."

Zero nodded, hugging the chamomile in his arms. "I am an assassin."

She didn't tell Lu Mingfei that in Russian culture, chamomile is usually given to mothers.

The two exchanged a glance, and the assassin girl, holding the flowers in one hand, turned around coolly and walked towards the villa.

But before he had taken two steps, Lu Mingfei suddenly called out to him.

"Wait a moment."

"Um?"

Ling paused, then turned to look at him.

"……that."

The boy took a deep breath. "Miss Zero, may I invite you to dance?"

Logically speaking, he should be someone who has seen a lot by now, but when Zero invited him to dance, he felt his heart beat a little fast.

Zero's eyes widened slightly, but she was standing with her back to the light, facing Lu Mingfei. In addition, Lu Mingfei was a little flustered at the moment, and his gaze kept glancing at the two wall lamps on the courtyard wall, so he did not notice this detail.

"I don't go out much before, and I'm not very familiar with the area. Today's travel plan was actually designed with the help of a friend... Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the wall lamp and muttered to himself:

"Although the plan didn't include inviting the lady to dance after getting off the bus, I really want to dance with you right now..."

It has nothing to do with any plan, and it's not even for the sake of wish points.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei felt his hand being grasped.

He looked down and found that Miss Ling had already put down the flowerpot she was holding and come to stand in front of him.

"What are you dancing?"

She asked.

Lu Mingfei frantically pulled his phone out of his pocket, tapped a few times, and found "Por Una Cabeza (One Step Away)".

"One Step Away" is a slow tango with a restrained style. The distance required for dancing is just right for two people with a height difference. One lowers their head and looks down, while the other looks up and stares straight at each other, their eyes meeting but not too close or too far.

The two shadows stretched long under the warm light of the wall lamp, intersecting and gradually merging together.

As the song ended, Lu Mingfei slightly bent his knees, about to take a half step back, when Ling's small hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

"Lower your head."

she says.

Lu Mingfei was confused, but he lowered his head as instructed. The girl stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, she touched him and retreated in an instant. Before Lu Mingfei could even process what had happened, the assassin girl had already picked up Chamomile and turned away with a flourish.

Because he was facing away from her, he couldn't see the expression on her face.

"Bang!"

A sound came from the direction of the villa, the door was flung open, and two young women fell to the ground, their bodies intertwined.

It's not actually two people; the one who fell was a woman wearing a silk nightgown and a face mask.

Another woman, dressed in leather clothes and wearing a Japanese Noh mask, firmly gripped the doorknob, her body dangling more than ten centimeters off the ground.

The woman in the leather jacket got up at lightning speed, grabbed the woman in the nightgown by the back of the neck, and dragged her back.

The secretary's two roommates are very energetic... Lu Mingfei touched his cheeks, which seemed a little hot.

When getting into the car, Lu Mingfei deliberately avoided the rearview mirror because he suspected that if he looked in the mirror now, he might see a silly smiling face.
