Would the senior brother kill his best friend for her sake?
Xia Mi was not confident.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to reconcile. On one hand, there is loyalty to friends, and on the other hand, there is filial piety to one's mother.
Ugh.
Xia Mi was in a state of turmoil, and she suddenly felt insecure about her position in Lu Mingfei's heart.
After the meal, Old Tang took his leave.
Xia Mi did not stop her; she needed to probe Lu Mingfei about some things.
"Senior brother, has Nuwa been rescued?" Xia Mi asked.
"Yes, she's been rescued. A few things happened afterward, so I went to Kunshan," Lu Mingfei said.
"Oh? Where did you go?"
"Wedding snatching".
Chapter 146 Lu Mingfei's Hidden Easter Egg in Life: Miss Zero
"A forced marriage?" Xia Mi's ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) swayed slightly.
Seeing that Xia Mi was clearly interested, Lu Mingfei secretly sighed that even the Dragon King's daughter couldn't resist gossiping.
Lu Mingfei then vividly recounted his experience in Kunshan, from which Xia Mi gleaned two key points.
One is that my senior brother offended the Solomon Temple... Oh well, so be it.
Another key point is that my senior brother obtained another dragon bone cross.
What the hell? Why did Lu Mingfei get what she coveted so easily? Was she being targeted by fate?
Xia Mi hesitated whether to buy some incense to offer to her father, hoping the old man would help her change her luck.
Ugh.
Xia Mi sighed and waved listlessly, "Senior brother, I'm going to take a nap. Goodbye."
After saying that, Xia Mi yawned cutely, got up and walked to her room, closed the door, and then didn't make a sound.
Lu Mingfei looked at him, wanting to speak but then stopped himself.
Xia Mi seems to be a small shrimp who has lost her dreams at this stage. Has she forgotten her mission to restore the Great Xia Dynasty?
Lu Mingfei was genuinely worried.
Perhaps Xia Mi has suffered too many setbacks and blows recently.
As for where the setbacks and blows came from, don't ask.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Lu Mingfei remembered the rhythm of the girl's knock.
Zero has arrived.
The door opened, and Zero stood there, holding a box of premium beef.
"Sorry, I've already had lunch," Lu Mingfei said.
“I’m not here to freeload,” Zero said calmly. “No.”
"Mhm." Lu Mingfei nodded.
Ling walked into the living room and skillfully put the box of beef into the refrigerator.
"Where's Xia Mi?" Zero turned his head.
“She’s sleeping in her room,” Lu Mingfei explained in a low voice.
"Oh." Zero's voice softened.
The two sat side by side on the sofa, silent for a moment, the atmosphere quiet.
Lu Mingfei was used to being taciturn, and when he spoke, he would try to use the fewest words possible to explain his requirements, and he didn't like to talk nonsense.
"Speaking of which, how have you been managing your meals while I've been away from home these past few days, Ling?" Lu Mingfei asked, trying to start a conversation.
"I ordered takeout," Ling said calmly.
In reality, Zero always took care of her meals outside, and her movements were similar to Lu Mingfei's, but she just didn't have the opportunity to make a move.
In Xiangyang, Lu Mingfei caused a great disturbance at the Zhou family, and Ling had just infiltrated the Zhou family, so he had no chance to make a move.
In Kunshan, Ling sat in a small tavern by Yangcheng Lake, drinking tea and eating fish, watching the changing colors of the lake.
Like hidden NPCs or Easter eggs, Zero requires players to pay attention to details in the corners to find it.
I discovered that she had always been there.
Silently watching over Lu Mingfei.
"By the way, Zero, what are your hobbies?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Hmm?" Zero's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
What does Lu Mingfei mean by this? Could it be that...?
"I plan to give Xia Mi a gift to thank her for taking care of me these past few days, since we've been living together for a while now."
"I just don't know what to give. You're a girl, and girls understand girls. Can you give me some ideas?" Lu Mingfei asked, scratching his head.
"...I see."
The misunderstanding has been cleared up.
The platinum-haired girl turned to look at Lu Mingfei, her deep, piercing eyes revealing no emotion.
Just when Lu Mingfei thought Zero wouldn't answer, he heard her utter three words:
"Teddy bear".
"A teddy bear?"
“Yes, a teddy bear.” Zero nodded and gave her explanation: “Girls are basically powerless against fluffy plush toys.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei asked half-jokingly, "So Ling likes teddy bears. Do you have any recommendations for styles or designs?"
Ling hesitated for a moment: "Even with dolls, everyone has different preferences. Xia Mi's tastes may not be the same as mine."
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Just take it as a reference."
Zero thought for a moment and whispered, "Mr. Zorro."
Mr. Zorro, Lu Mingfei remembers, was a very famous masked bandit from the West, and there are many stories and legends about him.
"Okay, I've written it down. Your reference is very important." Lu Mingfei raised his hand and touched Ling's head. Her hair was soft, cool, and easy to rub.
The pat on the head was unintentional, and Zero didn't slap it away.
After spending some more time together in silence, Zero felt that she had absorbed enough of Lu Mingfei's energy and took her leave.
Lu Mingfei escorted her home, even giving her a free ride until she reached her doorstep.
How thoughtful!
Afterwards, Lu Mingfei took the elevator downstairs to a nearby department store to find a suitable gift for Ling.
Lu Mingfei had already made his choice regarding Xia Mi's gift.
He just felt that he shouldn't show favoritism. Although Zero hadn't been a member for long, he had given away many high-end meals, which was always expensive. He felt it was appropriate to give him a gift to express his gratitude.
There were many teddy bears, but not a single one in the Zorro style.
Lu Mingfei wandered around and even looked at all the claw machines in the arcade, but he couldn't find a single Zorro Masked Swordsman doll.
Seeing that he was destined to gain nothing today, he estimated it was lunchtime and left the department store.
As soon as I got to the first floor, I spotted a familiar couple in the distance.
To be precise, it was an acquaintance, Liu Miaomiao, our beloved teacher Miaomiao.
Beside Liu Miaomiao was a woman with curly hair, elegantly dressed, who vaguely resembled Liu Miaomiao.
Lu Mingfei's reasonable guess is that she is Liu Miaomiao's mother.
He was about to go and say hello, but noticing the subtle impatience on Liu Miaomiao's face, he hid to the side and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Mom, I've already said, I don't need any teammates!" Liu Miaomiao said firmly. "What kind of people have you been introducing me to?!"
At school, Liu Miaomiao usually presents a well-behaved and gentle image, speaking softly like a kitten.
But in front of her mother, especially after she's tired of talking, Liu Miaomiao's image isn't so gentle anymore; she even has a bit of a sharp edge.
Liu's mother said helplessly, "That child is your teacher's sister's child. He has shown amazing talent since he was a child and his level is very high. If you team up with him to participate in the competition, you can improve your chances of winning."
"I can win the championship by myself, I don't need a duo," Liu Miaomiao said unhappily. "I'm not the same Miaomiao I used to be, I've... evolved!"
puff
Lu Mingfei, who was eavesdropping, did not stay.
“Tell your mother honestly, why did you reject that child? That child is gentle and polite, and he has been very courteous and has not overstepped any boundaries during our several meetings.”
"So what?" Liu Miaomiao asked back.
Liu's mother teased, "The Miaomiao I know wouldn't care if her teammate was a boy if she wasn't feeling guilty."
Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao was taken aback and quickly retorted, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I simply enjoy competing alone. Besides, what time is it now? There's no time to find teammates and work on teamwork."
"Really?" Liu's mother recalled her daughter's behavior at home these past few days, her tone still playful.
"Yes!" Liu Miaomiao said firmly, "A true champion doesn't need teammates! I'll be competing alone in this piano competition!"
Chapter 147: My time is about to be taken over by Liu Miaomiao.
"Are you really not considering that child?"
"really."
"one person?"
"one person!"
