Yandere Erii, stop tormenting Lu Mingfei!

This small town has a very unique Japanese restaurant called Kaiseki-sai. It operates on a membership system, and its customers are often big bosses or wealthy young people with artistic tastes. The restaurant is located in a relatively remote area, with a long tree-lined path in front of it. The branches of the trees on both sides of the path arch high towards the middle, making pedestrians feel as if they are walking through a forest tunnel.

During the day, sunlight filters through the gaps in the trees, casting dappled golden light.

The moonlight shone down at night, as bright as frost and snow.

Everything in the restaurant was air-freighted from Japan, and even the staff are native Japanese, striving for authenticity. To express his gratitude to Lu Mingfei, Su's father specially invited him and Erii to dine at this Japanese restaurant.

Lu Mingfei didn't quite know how much a meal here would cost, but looking at the bluefin tuna sushi, Andaman sashimi, and Wagyu sukiyaki that were constantly being placed on the table, he knew that the prices were not cheap.

There are also dedicated chefs who freshly grind wasabi to provide the freshest taste.

Lu Mingfei sat on the tatami mat, behaving very reservedly, like a lady. In contrast, Erii, or rather, Hakuhime, sat beside him, eating and drinking without any restraint, completely disregarding etiquette.

Su's father laughed heartily, "Miss Uesugi is truly unpretentious!"

Su Xiaoqiang quickly replied, "Eri has truly seen the world. Eating a Japanese meal is like us eating stinky tofu; she's all about doing whatever she wants."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, thinking to himself, "There's such a saying?"

If she were to eat so ravenously, she would inevitably be met with disdain from others. Ultimately, it's because Su's father knows that Erii's brother is a member of the Shilan School Board of Directors, so whatever she does will be automatically justified.

"Miss Uesugi, do you think this is enough? If not, we'll bring more!" Su's father said with a smile.

Bai Ji patted her round belly and burped several times. "Thank you for the treat. It's been a long time since I've eaten so well. I will repay you properly in the future because of this uncle's hospitality."

Lu Mingfei coughed lightly, but did not speak.

Bai Ji, you foodie! You're only enjoying all this delicious food because I saved Su Xiaoqiang!

Why aren't you thanking me?!

At this moment, Bai Ji glanced at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Lu Mingfei lowered his head, took a bite of the golden-brown tempura, his teeth broke through the crispy outer layer, and tasted the tender and fresh shrimp meat. The wonderful flavor sealed by the oil temperature exploded in his mouth, and every taste bud on his tongue became excited. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and enjoy the wonderful moment.

Suddenly, Bai Ji picked up a piece of snowflake beef and moved it into Lu Mingfei's bowl.

"I'm full. You keep eating. Don't waste this delicious food. Wasting food will be punished by the gods," she said very seriously.

"Um... I'll try my best," Lu Mingfei said.

In short, it was a wonderful moment. The guests were all happy. The moonlight shone on the courtyard outside the door, shimmering like water. The wind blew through the bamboo, and the water-filled bamboo made a rhythmic pattering sound.

After the banquet, Su's father personally drove Lu Mingfei and Bai Ji back to the Regent Hotel. Su Xiaoqiang pressed her face against the car window and waved goodbye to Lu Mingfei repeatedly.

"Daughter, do you like Xiao Lu?" Su's father asked sharply as he sat down next to his daughter.

"No...no, we're just ordinary classmates." Su Xiaoqiang blushed and quickly clarified their relationship.

"Yeah?"

"I...I only like people who are better than me! His grades are terrible! He's the worst student in the class!"

"But who told me today that Lu Mingfei passed the interview for Kassel College? That school is no ordinary school. I have a friend who graduated from the University of Chicago. The two colleges are sister schools. He knows a lot about that college and gave it a very high evaluation."

Mr. Su nodded slightly. "Looking at it this way, doesn't he quite fit your wishes?"

"No, no, he has a girlfriend!" Su Xiaoqiang quickly brought up Erii.

"Good men are never short of women. Besides, if he were really a good-for-nothing, how could he possibly win over the school board chairman's sister?" Su's father stroked his chin, feeling that Lu Mingfei was increasingly unfathomable. He patted his daughter's shoulder seriously: "Before he goes abroad and his horizons broaden, you have to work hard to win him over, otherwise it will be much more difficult later."

Su Xiaoqiang fell silent.

She kept her head down, looking shy, her mind filled with the thrilling moments she had experienced that day.

She witnessed the miracle performed by Lu Mingfei.

Superpowers?

Su Xiaoqiang's first reaction was...

At that moment, Lu Mingfei shone brightly in her heart, unmatched by anyone, and his majestic figure was firmly engraved in her heart.

There's a suspension bridge effect in psychology. She wasn't sure if that was why she suddenly liked Lu Mingfei. She usually just bickered with him and tried to steal Chen Wenwen's heart. How did their classmate relationship suddenly turn sour?

"Sigh, forget it. I probably won't pass the Kassel College interview. Their questions are too weird and tricky. Even if we get together, it will be a long-distance relationship. Nine out of ten couples who date across provinces break up, let alone across countries." Su Xiaoqiang gave up the idea.

"Oh, that's a real shame." Su's father smiled and affectionately stroked his daughter's head.

When Su Xiaoqiang got home, she immediately jumped into the bathtub. The maid had already filled the tub with water. She stripped naked, her fair and delicate skin shimmering with a bright glow.

Her figure was also top-notch, with ample breasts, a voluptuous bust, and a captivatingly slender and graceful figure, along with long and delicate legs.

Su Xiaoqiang was soaking in the bathtub, and white foam quickly spread across the surface of the water.

"Lu Mingfei? But wouldn't that be stealing Erii's boyfriend? He'd get beaten to death." She secretly imagined something. "Ugh... It's not like I'm Chen Wenwen. Stealing Erii's boyfriend wouldn't make me happy at all. Lu Mingfei, I hate you!"

She let out a soft moan and submerged her head in the water, bubbles rising to the surface.

That night, I fell asleep.

Su Xiaoqiang dreamed of a towering, azure tree, as magnificent and expansive as Mount Buzhou in mythology, rising to the sky as if it were the sole support of the heavens.

That giant tree was also home to a dragon whose entire body was as green as jade.

With its horse-headed, snake-scaled, and eagle-clawed form, long, flowing whiskers, and coral-like dragon horns on its head, it is the traditional Chinese five-clawed dragon.

However, the Azure Dragon's eyes burned with a dazzling golden light.

With a roar, thunder rumbled and a fierce wind arose.

He seemed to be talking to himself... His voice was sacred and majestic, as if a god were issuing a decree.

Su Xiaoqiang couldn't hear clearly.

Regent Hotel.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya are organizing the answer sheets of the students they interviewed today.

"Ye Sheng, besides Lu Mingfei, who else do you think the academy might recruit?" Jiu Deya asked.

He took out a file. "This is quite likely. Her answer subtly touched on the sorrow of blood, a unique sense of loneliness that only hybrids possess."

When Jiu Deya looked over, he saw that the student's name was written as: Su Xiaoqiang.

"However, this is only a preliminary assessment. After all, those three questions are too abstract, and we need to conduct a second interview with her," Ye Sheng said.
