Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine
Chapter 96 Senior Brother, you don't mean to pursue me, do you?
"Senior brother! You can't just go to a girl's house like that, and your car is so big, it can't fit in my alley..."
In the passenger seat, Xia Mi gently tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve, looking pitiful.
"First, there are still five minutes until the end of the workday. You should call me 'boss' when we're working."
Lu Mingfei kept his eyes straight ahead. "Secondly, we can walk there."
"Senior brother, have you betrayed your class?!"
Xia Mi's eyes widened. "We both come from humble backgrounds, we should be comrades!"
"Well then, Comrade Xia, I have a task for you now."
Lu Mingfei found a suitable spot and parked the car. "Take the things from the trunk and come with me to visit Xia Mi, who is on welfare."
Xia Mi claims to be eighteen years old and is currently in school. She has an older brother with intellectual disabilities who lives in an orphanage. She accidentally discovers that she has awakened her golden eyes and gradually comes into contact with the world of mixed-race people.
Lu Mingfei didn't know how much of this information was true, but that didn't stop him from using it as an excuse to visit Xia Mi's house. His reason was that the company offered housing subsidies, but he needed to conduct an on-site inspection first. There was a wish in the wishing machine to renovate Xia Mi's house, and Lu Mingfei was happy to do a task that could be accomplished by spending a little money.
After passing through an alley, Lu Mingfei found this old neighborhood hidden by high-rise buildings.
Xia Mi's home is in an old building with red brick exterior walls and cement balconies. The walls of the stairwell are covered with tiny GG stickers, and a blue-painted doorplate reading "Unit 15, Room 201" is nailed to the green wooden door.
The girl handed a large bag of groceries to Lu Mingfei, which he had bought on his way to the supermarket. Then she took the key off her neck, inserted it into the lock, and slowly turned it.
When the door opened, Lu Mingfei saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
It's noon now, but the room isn't very bright. The floor-to-ceiling windows face west, so if you came at night, you could probably see a great sunset.
Unlike the filth and chaos outside, Xia Mi's home is actually quite clean, probably because she has lived here for a long time. However, the overall decoration style is hardcore, with a pure Syrian war-damaged style.
In particular, the metal frames of the floor-to-ceiling windows are badly rusted, several panes of glass are broken, and dust gets blown in when it's windy.
Lu Mingfei walked around the house but couldn't find a place for the guests to sit.
The only place to rest was the bed in the center, with simple white sheets and pillows with Rilakkuma patterns, but he certainly couldn't just lie down on a girl's bed.
Xia Mi, without any hesitation, threw herself onto the bed, spreading her body out in a starfish shape. After letting out a comfortable sigh, she ran to the old-fashioned double-door refrigerator and took something out of it.
"Senior brother, catch this."
Xia Mi tossed the object towards Lu Mingfei, who instinctively caught it. It was square and slightly cool to the touch—a box of yogurt.
"What are you thinking about, senior brother?"
Xia Mi tore open the straw packaging, inserted it into the yogurt container, and took a big gulp.
"...Living here must be quite lonely."
Lu Mingfei looked away from the floor-to-ceiling window and suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"Senior, has anyone ever told you that your flirting skills are terrible?"
Xia Mi said.
"It's not that bad."
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, "After all, I don't even have any experience flirting with girls."
"How tragic."
"yes."
After a brief silence, Lu Mingfei sighed, "Since things have come to this, let's eat first." He put on an apron with a pork brand logo and went to the stove.
Thanks to his aunt's pressure, Lu Mingfei has gained some experience in cooking.
He rinsed the rice and put it in the rice cooker, washed and tore the cabbage into pieces, but just as he was concentrating on the piece of beef he bought from the supermarket, Xia Mi's voice suddenly rang out:
"Senior brother, you wouldn't be thinking of pursuing me, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei trembled, and the knife in his hand left a scratch on the cutting board.
He put down the knife, turned around, and put his hands on his hips.
"Junior sister."
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but address Xia Mi that way too, "Are you always this direct?"
Unlike the battle-hardened veteran Shao Nanyin, Xia Mi, also a dragon, seems to be less adept at integrating into human society. While she isn't as incapable of lying as the Trisolarans, she occasionally says things that seem daring to outsiders.
"Is there?"
Xia Mi sat on the bed, her slender white legs dangling in the air, swinging back and forth on the edge of the bed, completely unaware of the problem with her words.
"Let's assume this situation."
Lu Mingfei held up one finger as an example:
"A has a crush on B, and B knows that A has a crush on B, but B cannot directly tell A 'I don't like you' before A confesses... because if A doesn't admit it, it will seem like B is just being presumptuous."
"...So, senior brother, you really want to pursue me?!"
Xia Mi clutched her pillow, her expression horrified. "They recruited my junior sister under the guise of hiring employees, and then... they took advantage of her..."
"No!"
Lu Mingfei was speechless.
He only just realized that Xia Mi was actually a demon pill. He guessed that Jormungandr had been wearing a skin for too long, and this guy's personality was a bit unconventional.
Lu Mingfei couldn't tell whether Xia Mi was joking or really meant it, but he had to protect his innocence... He just wanted to earn some wish points.
"That's good, that's good..."
Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief and patted her small chest:
"Senior, I'm not ready for a relationship yet. If you confess your feelings to me, I'll definitely reject you."
"Could you please stop beating me like that, Pu..."
Lu Mingfei glanced at that face, which could be both happy and angry, and was so beautiful that he swallowed back the words "Puxin woman".
Did you create this character's model yourself? How come I didn't know Earth Online had this option?
Soon, the room was filled with light clanging sounds as Lu Mingfei wielded his spatula with incredible speed, displaying the demeanor of a hotel chef.
Since his bloodline awakened, his control over his body has been greatly enhanced.
This is probably why mixed-race people are more likely to become elites in various industries. After all, in any industry, the final competition comes down to physical strength.
Even mathematics is no exception. Mathematicians like Riemann and Ramanujan died in their thirties or forties due to poor health; otherwise, they would certainly have made even greater contributions to the field of mathematics.
Xia Mi hugged her pillow without saying a word, just watching the boy's busy back with a bit of curiosity. Before long, Lu Mingfei brought out four dishes and a soup.
He moved a small dining table from the corner and placed it in front of Xia Mi's bed.
Stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, scrambled eggs with shrimp, spicy and sour shredded cabbage, stir-fried zucchini, and loofah and egg soup.
Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup—that's already the limit of Lu Mingfei's culinary skills.
While Lu Mingfei was cooking, Xia Mi wasn't idle either. She used her Word of Power, Wind King's Eye, to guide the cooking fumes out through the hole in the window, turning her into a human-shaped range hood.
