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

Su Xiaoyan was overjoyed and found Lu Mingfei even more pleasing to the eye.

After the meal, Su Xiaoyan suddenly started crying for no apparent reason, sobbing softly.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback and quickly looked at Chu Zihang, as if to ask what was going on.

Chapter 116 Lu Mingfei: "This is a song dedicated to my mother."

Chu Zihang was also confused and looked worried. He quickly asked his mother what was wrong.

Su Xiaoyan wiped away her tears and said sadly that after this meal, Zihang would be flying abroad tomorrow.

From childhood to adulthood, Chu Zihang had always been by Su Xiaoyan's side. Suddenly, he was separated from her by a great distance, and Su Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.

Su Xiaoyan desperately wanted Chu Zihang to stay in China and stay by her side, but that was unrealistic.

She understands her child and knows that every decision he makes is the result of careful consideration.

As a mother, she shouldn't stop his plans.

Otherwise, I would become a bad mother.

After learning the reason, Chu Zihang sighed inwardly. He never wanted to leave Su Xiaoyan's side.

He's not a mama's boy, but his mother is his only family in the world.

Although his stepfather was a good person, he couldn't provide Chu Zihang with the sense of security he wanted, especially regarding Su Xiaoyan.

If there were no dragons or Odin in this world, with Lu Tianming's connections and power, taking care of Su Xiaoyan for a peaceful and smooth life would be no problem at all.

Unfortunately, with the help of the gods, Lu Tianming was not the best choice.

Chu Zihang could only endure the pain of separation. He went to Kassel College to become stronger, because only by gaining greater power could he better protect Su Xiaoyan.

However, Chu Zihang was conflicted. He had an enemy, and he wanted to kill Odin.

Can it be successful?

If I succeed, will I be able to come back alive?

Chu Zihang was unaware of how heartbroken Su Xiaoyan would be after he left. Without her son, who would protect her?

Su Xiaoyan is truly blessed; she has two men in her life who are willing to risk their lives to protect her.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei said, "Sister Xiaoyan, don't be sad. Your senior brother can come back during winter and summer vacations. Besides, he's just going to university. He'll be free after graduating in four years and will have plenty of time to spend with you."

"That's four years." Su Xiaoyan sighed, and as she spoke, she wanted to drink to drown her sorrows.

When Chu Zihang saw Su Xiaoyan get up and walk towards the wine cabinet, he quickly stopped her. He couldn't imagine what kind of trouble Su Xiaoyan would cause after drinking.

To be fair, Su Xiaoyan's drinking behavior is trustworthy. When drunk, she's at most like a mischievous cat, but a real cat won't hiss.

But Su Xiaoyan has troubles today; if she gets drunk again, things will be different.

Chu Zihang wanted to save face for his mother in front of his classmates, so he pondered how to stop Su Xiaoyan's advances.

"Sister Xiaoyan, don't be sad. Let me play you a piece of music," Lu Mingfei suddenly said.

Su Xiaoyan was indeed drawn to Lu Mingfei's words. She paused, turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and asked with curiosity, "You can play the piano?"

"I know a little bit." Lu Mingfei gestured with his fingertips, indicating the universe.

Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Mingfei, and like Su Xiaoyan, was surprised that Lu Mingfei also had the talent of playing the piano.

"I tried learning piano before, but after it arrived, I felt that this thing was so difficult to learn. I couldn't understand the sheet music at all, so it just sat there collecting dust."

Su Xiaoyan smiled and asked, "Mingfei, what pieces can you play? Hanon?"

Hanon is an etude for beginners.

"What does Sister Xiaoyan want to hear?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Su Xiaoyan pinched her chin, looking thoughtful, then smiled and said, "Mingfei, you can play whatever you want. I love listening to everything."

After all, Lu Mingfei played the piano to make her happy, and this sentiment pleased Su Xiaoyan.

Men remain boys until death, and Su Xiaoyan retained a girlish heart until her death.

What woman wouldn't want a boy to step forward and play the piano just for her to please her?

In the male version, it's like having a beautiful girl play Genshin Impact with him and showing off her max-level Genshin Impact account, getting full stars in every Abyss run.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei wondered which piece of music he himself liked.

The song "New Life, Stars, and You: Astrum Unicum" naturally came to mind.

Liu Miaomiao: There are cows.

Lu Mingfei felt this was inappropriate and out of place with the current atmosphere.

After a moment's thought, Lu Mingfei had an idea. He walked to the piano and bowed slightly to Su Xiaoyan: "This is a piece dedicated to my mother."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoyan's curiosity grew even stronger, and she became even more eager to see Lu Mingfei's performance.

Lu Mingfei sat on the piano bench, opened the piano lid, and as his fingers touched the first key to test the sound, his demeanor changed completely, transforming him from a young man into a master.

Everyone, including Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang, and Aunt Tong, could sense this change, and felt that the boy sitting on the piano bench was becoming increasingly mysterious and outstanding.

As fingertips touch the strings, a soothing and lingering melody slowly flows out.

It was Joe Hisaishi's song "Mother".

Joe Hisaishi is a master who created classic pieces such as "Kikujiro's Summer" and "The Sun Also Rises".

He is also the go-to composer for anime director Hayao Miyazaki.

He has participated in almost all well-known works such as Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Howl's Moving Castle.

Joe Hisaishi's composition style is not flamboyant, but calm, restrained, melancholic and controlled, soothing the faint sorrow in the hearts of listeners.

Lu Mingfei really enjoys listening to Joe Hisaishi's music. Whenever he's feeling down, listening to "Kikujiro's Summer" always lifts his spirits; it's very therapeutic.

Getting back to the main point, in the quiet night, the gentle sound of the piano filled the air.

The piece "Mother" is in the style of Joe Hisaishi. Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang and others listened carefully to the music played by the boy.

This is imbued with the master's skill and abundant emotion.

The stars in the sky are silent, and Mingfei on the ground misses his mother.

Lu Mingfei's technique is impeccable. Even a simple piece of music can be played with a different flavor and rich layers in his hands.

Even Aunt Tong, who usually prefers listening to old Chinese songs and doesn't have much exposure to piano music, could appreciate how well Lu Mingfei played.

Su Xiaoyan spent a lot of money to hire a professional piano teacher who had won many international awards.

Whether it was due to personal bias or not, Su Xiaoyan found her son's classmate's piano playing to be more elegant, moving, and charming.

Su Xiaoyan thought to herself that Lu Mingfei must have used his piano skills to "bewitch" a girl into living with him.

Actually, Su Xiaoyan was a bit sensitive about cohabitation. She felt that Lu Mingfei was still young and didn't understand true love and affection.

When you're young, you live on love, but as you grow older, you realize that love can't replace the necessities of life; love needs a material foundation.

Su Xiaoyan felt that Lu Mingfei's current skill level was good enough for him to become a teacher and earn a living through his abilities.

If it were her, she would definitely have chosen Lu Mingfei as her piano teacher.

Unfortunately, he was my son's classmate.

Su Xiaoyan knew how to avoid suspicion to some extent.

As the music came to an end, Chu Zihang revealed a rare smile. He felt much more relaxed after listening to the piece.

"Isn't it beautiful! It's simply heavenly!" Su Xiaoyan praised, clapping gently.

"What you say is true, Madam. Lu Mingfei played such a beautiful piece that it almost brought me to tears," Aunt Tong said.

"Mother" was originally a song written for my mother, expressing my feelings for her.

It's not surprising that Aunt Tong, a normal mother, felt this more deeply.

"I'm glad Sister Xiaoyan and Aunt Tong like it. I've made a fool of myself," Lu Mingfei said.

Chapter 117 Kamaitachi, a Sign of Strength (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Lu Mingfei did not stay overnight at the Peacock Mansion. He had arranged with Xia Mi that the door would be left open for him.

Chu Zihang drove Lu Mingfei home, and the two exchanged a few words about Su Xiaoyan and Kassel College on the way.

"I'm sorry you had to see this tonight," Chu Zihang said.

"No way, Sister Xiaoyan has a lovely personality, a youthful mindset, and looks almost the same as my senior brother's sister," Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei was quite envious of his senior brother. It wasn't that Su Xiaoyan looked young and beautiful; his own mother, Qiao Weini, was just as good-looking.

The main reason is that Su Xiaoyan doesn't hide her maternal love for Chu Zihang, even though to outsiders Su Xiaoyan doesn't seem dignified or composed enough, and at her age she still acts like a young girl.

But since the senior brother himself didn't say anything, what right do outsiders have to comment?

While at the Peacock Mansion, Lu Mingfei saw his senior brother and Xiao Yan's intimate mother-son interaction and sighed inwardly.

If his parents hadn't left him when he was thirteen and gone abroad, he would have received no news of them except for an annual letter.

So what does he look like now? Where is he standing right now?

do not know.

The only certainty is that Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini were indeed absent from Lu Mingfei's most important growth process.

Isn't Lu Mingfei also someone who finds solace in seeing others happy?

Therefore, Lu Mingfei was determined to protect Su Xiaoyan.

Of course, the idea is to protect the other person as if they were a kind and gentle elder.

Even if Lu Mingfei was extremely thirsty, he wouldn't have gone that far. A person cannot, and at least shouldn't, do that.

Furthermore, instead of searching for a mother, it's better to create one.

Lu Mingfei has many female companions; there's bound to be one who's suitable to be a qualified wife and mother.

Who is it?

"What time is your flight tomorrow, senior?" Lu Mingfei asked.
