Lu Mingfei felt that something must be wrong with his life.

But upon closer reflection, his life hadn't changed much. Every morning, he was still woken up by his alarm clock at the same time, followed by a fight with his cousin, Lu Mingze, over the right to use the toilet.

But usually he couldn't beat Lu Mingze, after all, the other's physique of 160cm tall and 160kg was truly amazing, and when he stood at the door, he was as solid as a thick city wall.

Lu Mingfei didn't have any suitable siege weapons, so he had no choice but to sit obediently in the living room, calculating how many minutes he needed to brush his teeth and wash his face in order to avoid being late.

Lu Mingze often occupies the bathroom longer than he expects, so when it's his turn, he has to brush his teeth and wash his face at the same time, brushing his teeth with one hand and rubbing soap on his face with the other, quite like Zhou Botong from "The Return of the Condor Heroes" who fights with both hands.

After he finished washing up, only he and his aunt were left at home.

Lu Mingze never waited for him to come together, and at this time his aunt would come out of the kitchen and nag, saying, "Lu Mingfei, can't you get up a little earlier next time? Look how long Lu Mingze has been gone. Are you constipated or something? You used the toilet for so long, do you know how expensive water is these days? How precious is your face that you have to wash it for so long..."

Lu Mingfei didn't want to hear these words, so he grabbed his schoolbag and ran out, his aunt's voice being blocked inside the security door.

The corridor was quiet, and the morning sun shone warmly on him through the window at the end of the corridor. The only downside was that the aroma of noodles with soybean paste from his neighbor's house would occasionally waft through the corridor, making his stomach rumble.

He imagined himself as a member of a mysterious organization, a ruthless and elite agent, but now he has been given a mission to infiltrate a school.

This was a momentous event concerning saving the world, so he had to arrive at the school before the school bell rang to avoid attracting the attention of the villains.

At times like these, he would run exceptionally fast, his body as light as a bird. He would rush along the sidewalk to the school and finally get into the classroom before he was late.

Before he could even catch his breath, he was met with a tirade from his homeroom teacher. The middle-aged teacher, who always carried a thermos full of tea, pointed at his nose with the mock exam results and said he was a rotten apple in the class, not at all like a senior high school student, lazy and undisciplined.

A rustling sound of laughter filled the classroom. Everyone was looking down at their textbooks and notes, looking like they were studying hard. Lu Mingfei glanced around but couldn't tell who was laughing.

Unable to refute his homeroom teacher's criticism, he could only force a fawning smile. But the teacher took this as a provocation, angrily slamming the report card on his desk and shouting that she would no longer care about him and that he could do whatever he wanted.

Next came a whole day of classes that Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand. When he sat in his chair, he would inexplicably imagine himself being tortured, sitting on a tiger bench, and the teacher on the podium being a spy sent to interrogate him.

No matter what tricks the enemy uses, he must accept them without changing his expression, because he still has the heavy responsibility of saving the world on his shoulders. Unfortunately, he stayed up all day but failed to get the enemy to use a honey trap, which was a bit disappointing.

Lu Mingfei is a lazy bum with a wild imagination. He only uses this imagination to pass the time. He doesn't know when he started to feel disgusted with his current life.

His unreliable parents brought him into this world and then left him to fend for himself, never telling him what to do next.

Lu Mingfei was fostered by his uncle and aunt when he was very young. His parents would send him a living allowance every month to prove that they still remembered that they had a child.

He didn't know the exact amount of the living expenses, but his aunt often told Lu Mingfei that his parents were really unreliable. What could they do with that little bit of money? They still had to pay it out of their own pockets. Lu Mingfei, remember that when you grow up, you'll have to pay it all back.

Lu Mingze would often secretly tell Lu Mingfei in the room that the living expenses his parents sent this month were almost used up, and if they didn't send any next month, Lu Mingfei would be kicked out, and then he could have the whole room to himself.

Everyone was preoccupied with the living expenses; no one really cared about Lu Mingfei.

So why is that? When did his life start to turn out like this? Is this kind of life really meaningful?

Lu Mingfei was questioning himself, completely unaware that he had turned into a side alley.

There were a few thugs squatting on the ground in the alley, sharing a cigarette. They were startled by Lu Mingfei's sudden intrusion, but quickly became happy.

They exchanged a glance and silently surrounded the student who was lost in his own world from behind.

When Lu Mingfei came to his senses, a sharp folding knife was already pressed against his waist.

"Hey bro, sorry about that, we've run into a bit of trouble lately, so we were thinking of borrowing some money from you."

The leader of the thugs fiddled with a folding knife, winked at one of his buddies, and gestured for him to take Lu Mingfei's backpack off.

"Hey bro, don't be so nervous. We just want to borrow some money, nothing else. Don't be afraid."

A thug deftly removed Lu Mingfei's backpack; judging from their movements, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this.

He said these words because he saw Lu Mingfei trembling uncontrollably, and he immediately felt confident that he had succeeded this time. This student seemed to be the kind of person who would not dare to tell his parents or teachers even if he was bullied.

Lu Mingfei was wearing the school uniform of Shilan Middle School. They all knew this private elite high school and knew that the students there were all young ladies and gentlemen they couldn't afford to offend. They traveled in Mercedes-Benz and BMWs. In the past, even if they were short of money, they would never target the students in this school.

But now Lu Mingfei didn't know why no one came to pick him up. He was obviously terrified, his body trembling like a leaf.

This excited the thugs, who thought that after this job, they might not have to worry about money for the next week.

A thug stepped forward and searched Lu Mingfei's pockets, turning them inside out. They found nothing inside; the pockets were as clean as if they had just been washed.

"Where's your money?"

The thugs were dumbfounded. They searched Lu Mingfei's body and emptied his backpack to look for it, but they couldn't find a single penny. They felt like they had been tricked, and they couldn't help but probe forward with the folding knife in their hands.

The knife tip pierced the clothes. These thugs usually only extorted money from students. They didn't dare to do anything else, and they hadn't specifically learned how to use a knife, so they couldn't control their strength.

The knife tip pierced through his clothes and then cut into the skin on his waist, the stinging pain waking Lu Mingfei up.

He started shaking even more violently.

"Damn, the boss's bleeding!"

The thug with the knife saw the bloodstains on the blade and panicked. He immediately shouted to his boss.

"I saw it. What bad luck to run into a penniless wretch like this... Listen, if you dare tell your teacher, parents, or call the police, it won't be so simple next time. We know where your school is!"

The leader was actually a little panicked, because the nature of the situation would change once blood was involved, but in front of his underlings, he still had to maintain a "making a fuss" expression. He threatened Lu Mingfei for a while and then shouted to his underlings to retreat.

But just as they turned around, the guy they had always thought was a scared loser suddenly jumped up, holding a brick in his hand, and smashed it hard on the boss's head.

The sound was as loud as thunder.

The thugs were startled by Lu Mingfei's sudden attack. The leader covered his head and staggered a few steps, looking at him in disbelief.

"Kill him!"

After yelling, the leader staggered and fell to the ground, large amounts of blood flowing from his head onto the ground.

The thugs exchanged fearful glances. The student in front of them seemed to have suddenly become a different person. His body was still trembling, but he was gripping the brick in his hand even tighter.

Lu Mingfei raised his head, smiling as he looked at the group of thugs. Then, like a cannonball, he slammed into another thug, the brick arcing through the air as it struck him on the head.

The remaining thugs were stunned and realized that this guy had no sense of martial ethics and was after them!

They pulled out their folding knives, gritted their teeth, and charged forward.

"Lu Mingfei? Lu Mingfei, is that you? Are you alright? You're covered in blood! I've already called an ambulance!"

The girl's panicked voice woke Lu Mingfei up. He turned around and looked around. The ground was covered with broken bricks, and several thugs were lying on the ground groaning, clutching their heads.

"Lu Mingfei?"

The girl cautiously stepped forward, and heavy footsteps sounded behind her as a police car and an ambulance stopped at the alley entrance.

"Su Xiaoqiang?"

Lu Mingfei recognized the girl; she was his classmate, the class's little darling.

"Thank goodness you still recognize me!"

Su Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, rushed over, snatched the broken brick from Lu Mingfei's hand, threw it on the ground, and then supported him, "Hang in there, the ambulance is here. How are you feeling now?"

Lu Mingfei looked down at his hands, and his heart, which had been like a stagnant pool, suddenly surged with turbulent emotions.

"I have never felt so refreshed."
