Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, let them live with regrets for the rest of their lives.

Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, and not wanting to strain their relationship, Liu's mother sighed and said, "Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it. Today is the final deadline anyway."

"Mom's going to the restroom, you wait for me here."

"Okay." Liu Miaomiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Liu's mother has passed away.

Liu Miaomiao stood in the lobby on the first floor with her arms crossed, casually looking around, when she suddenly spotted Lu Mingfei.

A joyful smile unconsciously spread across his face as he raised his hand and called out, "Hey! Mingfei!"

Lu Mingfei stepped forward and started talking to Liu Miaomiao.

"It's been a long time, Teacher Miao Miao."

"I told you, don't call me Teacher Miaomiao, it's easy for people to misunderstand." Liu Miaomiao scolded, then glanced guiltily in the direction her mother had left.

“Okay, Teacher Miaomiao.” Lu Mingfei readily agreed.

"...Fine, I won't argue if you call me in private. Just stop trying to bully me." Liu Miaomiao said helplessly.

"How was your summer vacation?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Summer vacation? I feel like I've been practicing the piano all the time?" Liu Miaomiao asked in surprise.

"After all, you participated in the competition," Lu Mingfei encouraged her. "Go, Teacher Miao Miao! Today's efforts will not let you down tomorrow."

Liu Miaomiao smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"Do you want to buy anything?" Liu Miaomiao glanced at Lu Mingfei's empty hands.

"I want to buy a teddy bear, but I can't find one I like," Lu Mingfei sighed.

"A teddy bear? For whom?" Liu Miaomiao became wary, thinking she was helping her best friend Chen Wenwen guard against a vixen.

"If Teacher Miaomiao likes it, the teddy bear is yours," Lu Mingfei said with a smile, speaking frankly.

This made Liu Miaomiao feel embarrassed. She rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei, then cleared her throat and said, "I don't care."

"I'll give you a rare gift for your birthday, Teacher Miaomiao," Lu Mingfei said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao glanced at the seashell bracelet she had given Lu Mingfei on his wrist and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait and see."

Lu Mingfei laughed heartily, then bid farewell to Liu Miaomiao and left.

Liu's mother won't be in the bathroom for long, so it would be awkward if she came back and saw me chatting with Liu Miaomiao.

"See you when school starts, oh wait, see you at the competition. I'll cheer you on." Lu Mingfei waved his hand.

Liu Miaomiao gave a soft "hmm".

She watched Lu Mingfei's retreating figure, his words "See you at the competition" echoing in her ears.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of disorientation, as if she were standing below the stage, with everyone holding their breath, watching the radiant young man on stage playing heavenly music, displaying unparalleled elegance.

She felt both proud and lonely, and longed to sit next to him.

(This is the piece you taught me; now I will pass it on to you.)

(I don't want you to die, no!)

"Mingfei!" A strong impulse rose in Liu Miaomiao's heart, and she couldn't help but shout loudly, stopping the boy who was about to leave the department store.

People in the hall were also drawn to Liu Miaomiao's voice and turned their attention to her.

This included Liu's mother, who had just come out of the bathroom and saw her daughter shouting a boy's name.

In her memory, her daughter had always been very well-behaved and rarely spoke loudly in public, for fear of attracting attention.

Lu Mingfei turned around and looked at Liu Miaomiao with a puzzled expression, but listened silently as Liu Miaomiao finished speaking.

Liu Miaomiao strode towards Lu Mingfei, raised her chin, and said with bright eyes, "See you in the competition... Do you want to compete with me? Sign up for the doubles?"

"You mean a four-handed piano duet?" Lu Mingfei still remembered Liu Miaomiao's explanation and her disappointed and helpless expression after being hit with a blow that night at the resort hotel.

“That’s right.” Liu Miaomiao nodded vigorously. “I think you’re so smart, you’ll definitely learn the piano very quickly. Let’s win the championship together!”

Lu Mingfei did not agree immediately, but silently examined Liu Miaomiao. Compared with the Liu Miaomiao in the simulated script, she was still very immature.

But it also means that everything can start anew.

He turned a story that was merely a setting in the script, one that he never experienced with Liu Miaomiao, into reality.

"Champion? Isn't that a given?" Lu Mingfei laughed. "With Teacher Miao Miao around, my piano skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."

"Uh-huh."

"Hurry up and sign up, the deadline is 6 pm, there's only one and a half hours left."

A reminder came from behind Liu Miaomiao.

"ah!"

Liu Miaomiao was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see that it was her mother.

Her mother was watching her and Lu Mingfei with a teasing look. Although she didn't say anything, her ambiguous gaze said it all, making Liu Miaomiao blush with embarrassment.

Oh no, Mom misunderstood.

Liu Miaomiao felt a deep sorrow in her heart.

"Ahem, this is my classmate. We went to register first. We'll talk later if anything comes up. Bye~"

Before Lu Mingfei and his mother could even greet each other, Liu Miaomiao grabbed his wrist and rushed outside, nearly bumping into the door.

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Lu Mingfei waved with his other hand.

Liu's mother smiled and waved.

Today's harvest was truly remarkable.

My daughter is indeed in love.

Although she didn't know who the boy was, she knew he couldn't hide forever. She would judge Miaomiao again that night!

Ha, and he even said he was determined to compete alone.

His initial arrogance followed by his later obsequiousness is laughable.

……

"Okay, that's all," said the staff member at the registration desk.

Liu Miaomiao thanked him and went out with Lu Mingfei.

As the sun set, they successfully submitted their registration for the duo group before the staff left work.

Registration successful.

Looking at the setting sun, mostly hidden behind the buildings in the distance, Liu Miaomiao began to regret her actions again.

Was I too impulsive?

"I've already registered; all that's left is figuring out how to win."

Lu Mingfei's voice came from the side, making Liu Miaomiao think that this guy had spied on her thoughts.

"That's true, consider it as gaining experience in the competition. If we can avoid being eliminated in the first round, that's a win!" Liu Miaomiao cheered, clenching her fists.

"Hey, Teacher Miaomiao, there's no need to be so pessimistic. What if I'm some kind of unparalleled genius? Before I even got into the piano, my talent was somewhere between an absolute prodigy and a mediocre failure—either was possible," Lu Mingfei retorted.

"Okay, just kidding. I believe in Lu Mingfei." Liu Miaomiao smiled, rubbing her chin. "But we need to seriously consider how to increase our chances of winning."

Then, Liu Miaomiao apologized to Lu Mingfei: "I'm sorry, because of my impulsive act, I'll have to trouble you for a while."

"It's okay, it's summer vacation, people are very free." Lu Mingfei said casually.

"So, you have at least three hours of practice time every day, right?" Liu Miaomiao blinked.

Chapter 148 Miss Zero also wants to usurp Lu Mingfei's time

Three hours?

"Isn't that a bit too demanding? If you were..."

"No, it's okay. Spending time with Teacher Miao Miao, let alone three hours, even thirty hours wouldn't be enough."

"You're bullying me again. There are only 24 hours in a day, not 30." Liu Miaomiao complained coquettishly, but her eyes shone with bright joy.

Lu Mingfei smiled but remained silent.

He has indeed had some free time lately. Life in Rongcheng is peaceful, and he spends three hours every day accompanying Liu Miaomiao to practice the piano. He has the time and energy for that.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's keep in touch on QQ. It's getting late, you should head home too."

"Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"No need, I'm Super Miaomiao now. I can take on ten people by myself. I'm no longer a delicate and weak woman."

Liu Miaomiao smiled and showed off her lotus-root arms, which were as fair and tender as ever, and had not evolved into monstrous arms.

But with his current strength, Wu Song wouldn't stand a chance on Jingyang Ridge.

Once upon a time, Shi Xiangyun was drunk and lay asleep in the peony garden; now, Liu Miaomiao is drunk and beats a white-browed tiger.

Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao parted ways at the entrance of the registration office, each going home to their own mothers.

Dragon's Nest.

As soon as Lu Mingfei stepped out of the elevator, he smelled the aroma of food.

Xia Mi's cooking always whets his appetite, no matter when it is.

Being able to eat delicious food every day is a very happy thing.

Working away from home, eating in the school cafeteria, or even at home, the food cooked by parents may not suit one's taste.

Food is the most important thing for people, but people seem to have gradually forgotten the happiness that delicious food can bring. Many times, they just eat without thinking to satisfy their physical hunger.

Therefore, it is clear that Lu Mingfei is lucky and should cherish and protect Xia Mi, this treasure girl.

However, because Lu Mingfei had been treated to a meal when he elbowed Xia Mi in the Zhou family's forbidden area, he would not be able to eat Xia Mi's cooking for a month.

I thought it was because Xia Mi wasn't feeding us.

This makes Xia Mi think the worst. Is she some kind of naughty junior sister?
