Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"It's still related to my father and mother. They are honorary alumni of the college, so they can be cared for by the school." Lu Mingfei did not answer directly, but it was confirmed from the side that he was indeed successful at Kassel College. Not bad fact.

The aunt had been listening to the conversation between the uncle and nephew with her ears perked up. At this time, the corners of her mouth were lowered, almost showing her irritation on her face. Listen, listen to what you are saying. I am an honorary alumnus, and I am the only one who co-authored it, so I am above your old Lu family, right?

"Take good care of you, take good care of you. I went to Shilan Middle School and asked Mr. Chen from the admissions office. He said that Kassel College is amazing. It sends the best talents to all walks of life every year, such as Nobel Prize winners, American governors, and financial tycoons. Mingfei, I remember that you studied finance, right? What are your plans after graduation?" When the uncle saw Lu Mingfei finished the wine in the glass, he stood up and filled it for Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei was a little flattered and quickly stood up and moved the glass closer to his uncle.

French food likes to be paired with white wine. It was white wine when I was with Chaminono and the others that day, and it is still white wine today.

It's not a high-end product. Ling probably knows that Lu Mingfei doesn't really like drinking that much, so he just ordered a few. The one his uncle is drinking right now is Chateau from the Grave-Pessac-Léognan region in Bordeaux, France. Haut Bergey Blanc 2007 has light woody aromas of pear, white flowers, and almonds, as well as fruity aromas of candied fruit and peach. The taste is smooth and fresh. Although it sounds like a drink, it is a real wine.

The French food was not good at all, and the food was served slowly and with a lot of rules. Lu Mingfei and his uncle were probably searching for ways to ease the awkward atmosphere. They soon had nothing to talk about, and the first dish was finally served. It's French emperor caviar mixed with eggs, which contains Alaskan king crab meat, Spanish vinegar, egg yolk mousse and caviar, and the taste is slightly sour.

Lu Mingfei was used to eating similar things, but it was okay. After taking a bite, his aunt made an impatient expression: "If you ask me to say that Michelin is not as good as our crab shop downstairs, the hairy crabs this season are plump. At that time, steaming, stir-frying and deep-frying were all better than this.”

"Now we are going to live like upper-class people. Wife, you really need to learn to enjoy these foreign things." The uncle was quite calm, while Lu Mingze was like a ruthless rice machine and only cared about eating. Mingfei hesitated and pushed his share to his cousin.

Next, grilled Maine lobster with green beans and cabbage with lobster sauce and king crab avocado roll. The latter is wrapped in avocado and crab meat. The sweetness of avocado and the deliciousness of crab meat are immediately felt in the mouth. Grilled Maine lobster with green beans and cabbage with lobster gravy is the most suitable for Lu Mingfei's taste. The chef next to him explained that the red wine is 2006 Pomerol from Providence Winery in France, paired with French white pigeon goose. The liver rolls are accompanied by chicken broth, which is just right in your mouth.

Ling also liked this dish very much. Lu Mingfei used a knife and fork to share his own with the girl next to him, his expression unchanged and his heart calm. Ling's originally white and smooth cheeks seemed to be dazed by the sunset for a moment, and his cold eyes suddenly became like ripples in the spring breeze.

"You obviously have an unusual relationship with this classmate Ling, right?" After all, my uncle has been in social situations all year round. After observing his words, he became more and more certain that the relationship between these two people must be very unusual, or else they are descendants of the Lao Lu family. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the little girl was interested in Ming Fei.

Lu Mingfei was eating dessert, French cognac cream with cranberry cocoa jelly. The sour smell of berries and cognac combined to create a wonderful taste. At this time, he almost spit out the wonderful taste in one gulp.

Ling's dinner plate contained lemon mousse sugar balls with French cheese sorbet. The sugar balls were blown out and were round and very cute. There were also popping candies inside. Hearing what his uncle said, he stopped and flirted. She brushed her hair around her ears, and her pink-white earlobes looked like rain and dew hanging on the branches under the candlelight.

No one spoke. Zero lowered his head and turned his fork, picking up the piece of French cheese on the fork. The pink color on his earlobes looked like it was about to spread to his cheeks.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Mingfei looked out the window. The night view of Tokyo unfolded in front of his eyes like a scroll. It was so magnificent and so incredible. Humans could actually create this kind of city that looked like a paradise to the ancients. He began to chew as if no one else was there. My own dessert, I shivered slowly after half a minute.

Lu Mingze's eyes became a little strange, and his aunt looked at Lu Mingfei warily.

He and Lu Mingfei have lived together for a long time. Although the relationship is not so harmonious, they are still under the same roof. Both Lu Mingze and his aunt know that during the three years of high school, this boy who suddenly became enlightened had a relationship with Shilan Middle School. How popular.

Even if the information is limited, like an aunt, she has heard of Chu Zihang's name, but someone in the school actually calls Lu Mingfei the second Chu Zihang. All the girls love senior brother Mingfei, while junior brother Naringze is completely a marginal figure. With transparent filters, even those teachers with eyes above their heads praised Lu Mingfei.

Sometimes when my aunt goes to a parent-teacher meeting, she feels a little doubtful about life, because when everyone learns that she is Lu Mingfei's aunt and has been taking care of him all these years, they will show an expression of "What a loving aunt" and then line up. The team came to shake hands with her and take photos, and it would be best to put a confused Lu Mingfei in the middle.

According to Lu Mingze's opinion, if he was so popular, he would definitely turn into a romantic little prince and show mercy to everyone during the three years of high school. However, Lu Mingfei really followed the routine every day and only studied and exercised. Occasionally he went out to fool around with that Chu Zihang. He never saw him with him. Which girl has been alone together for more than ten minutes.

Now that I suddenly heard from my uncle that Lu Mingfei might have a close relationship with that Russian girl, my aunt and Lu Mingze were both a little confused and a little bit disgusted.

"Uncle, you've drunk too much. You're trying to match people up at this time." Lu Mingfei said softly.

Aunt and Lu Mingze felt relieved, and had a sense of relief. According to Aunt's thinking, she could not compare with Qiao Weini, her husband could not compare with Lu Lincheng, and even her son could not compare with this naughty nephew, so there must be one aspect that gives her the upper hand.

Although Lu Mingfei's dull look may be very popular with girls, it's not easy for him to call others when he's in love, right?

If you think about it this way, as long as Lu Mingze can find Lu Mingfei first and bring his daughter-in-law in, it will be a big victory.

"That's it, Mingfei. Your parents have high hopes for you and sent you to Kassel College to study. Boys must put academics first so that they can get along in society." Auntie was very pleased. At this time, she actually He spoke a few words, but the pride on his face could not be concealed.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment: "I mean, Ling and I are not the kind of relationship uncle thought, but I have a girlfriend in the college, and she is also Chinese." After that, he turned over Xia Mi's photo. When he came out to show his uncle and aunt, Lu Mingze also came over curiously.

"Oh! So beautiful! As expected of the Lao Lu family!" The uncle patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and the aunt's expression became distorted as if she had eaten a fly. She muttered, "I don't learn well at a young age..." Lu Mingfei behind him didn't hear it, but even if he did, it didn't matter.

Zero started eating her portion of dessert again without much emotional fluctuation, but Lu Mingfei patted the girl's straight and slender thighs under the table.

Ling looked over with some confusion. Lu Mingfei showed her the phone, which had two rows of words written on it.

"It's almost over. Although I don't know why they appeared in Japan, after all, we are no longer in the same world."

What Lu Mingfei meant was that it didn't matter whether he was grateful or disgusted with his aunt. Given their status, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to see each other again after this separation.

People's destinies are originally just a line in this three-dimensional world. Some people's destinies are entangled, and they stay together all their lives; some people's destinies intersect, and they just touch and create sparks, and then never meet each other; There are also people whose fate is a mess, and no one knows where they are going.

Lu Mingfei was someone who had walked on that road. He had a premonition that his fate would be long and bumpy, with no end in sight, but he probably died while searching for some answers. On his tombstone There would be no names of uncles and aunts, and the somewhat harsh and annoying middle-aged woman at his funeral had no chance to go up and deliver a speech.

The fate of the uncle and aunt was outside the door. They were destined not to have much interaction. It was the ridiculous blood relationship that allowed this group of people who originally lived in two worlds to live together for so many years.

Lu Mingfei had let go many years ago. In Tokyo, at that dinner party, he knew that no matter what he did, his aunt would not be satisfied. He already knew that it was a mistake in her eyes.

Since it was a mistake in itself, why do we have to see each other again? It only adds to the worries.

Ling looked at Lu Mingfei's eyes quietly. His eyelids were lowered, and there was no bright light in his pupils, but a little tiredness.

Ling touched the back of the man's hand. Her body temperature was actually very low, like cool water, as if she was comforting the suddenly tired guy next to her.

The boss did not arrange for his uncle's family to come to Tokyo. In fact, the reason was the same as what his uncle said. Lu Mingze was admitted to Austin University. His aunt was worried that he would not be able to get a visa, so he traveled abroad first. But their meeting here was indeed intentional by the little devil. The boss said it was very interesting to see the faces of ordinary people when the power they held in their hands was taken away.

Auntie originally had the power to control Lu Mingfei, but today, or a long time ago, she lost this power.

Zero is actually a person who is very good at observing people's emotions. She could see how ugly the middle-aged woman's face was. It was so ugly that it reminded her of her biological father who wanted to sell her to the National Academy of Sciences for human research, so Zero also I feel like sitting at this table makes me feel a little bit conflicted from the bottom of my heart.

Ling knew that it was difficult for Lu Mingfei to say that he wanted to leave. Tonight's dinner was originally just a meaningless joke played by Lu Mingze. She sips white wine with grace and then wipes the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

"We have a business event in the evening, so we can't continue to have dinner with you." A slightly formulaic smile appeared on the girl's face, and her eyes were as beautiful as platinum gems in the candlelight. Zero stretched out his hand to clasp the road Mingfei's wrist stood up,

"Grand Kitchen actually doesn't issue free coupons for events. The one you got is arranged by the president. This restaurant has been reserved by us tonight. Uncle and aunt, all your consumption will be counted in the club's account. Come on, so please don’t be restrained.”

Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered but he didn't refute.

Auntie's expression turned ugly at this moment, but she couldn't say any curse words.

"President? Club?" Uncle felt a little strange about these terms.

"Lu Mingfei is the leader of the largest fraternity in the college." Ling smiled slightly, somewhat condescendingly, "The president can use almost four million U.S. dollars in private funds every academic year."

Chapter 224 Renata

When they walked out of the Grand Kitchen, the quiet atmosphere left, and the hustle and bustle rushed in. Lu Mingfei suddenly exhaled heavily, and the laughter and laughter in the constant flow of people flowed in his ears like a river. , but it is not relevant.

He stood in the mezzanine of the huge titanium black glass curtain walls in Chiyoda District that had been polished to reflect light. He felt that the city was like mountains that were gradually closing in at this moment, so crowded and yet so empty.

The air of late autumn was filled with an ambiguous and warm smell. Lu Mingfei searched all over his body but couldn't find the bag of soft seven stars. Only then did he remember that he was left in that ready-made clothing store. The man stomped his feet slightly in annoyance, and the sound of bells came from the direction of the huge billboard. Men and women passed by the silent couple. Mountains and seas of light lit up the city, and those lights were reflected on the road. When Mingfei raised his head, he looked at the surface of his eyeballs where there was only a sliver of sky left.

Zero stood quietly, her hair was a beautiful reddish gold color under the light and fire, and her skin looked rosy.

"I'm sorry." Zero actually said, her voice was clear and ethereal. The girl was holding the man's arm according to the etiquette of the country she belonged to. At this time, she suddenly used a little force in her arm, so that the two of them could lean on each other. Closer. She was much shorter than Lu Mingfei Lailing, which allowed her to lean slightly against the man's chest.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

Ling just looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes coldly. He was stunned for a moment. In a trance, a fire that seemed to ignite his soul rose around him. The slender girl wrapped in a camel cashmere coat was on fire. She was crying, she cried so hard and so sadly that Lu Mingfei was distracted and worried.

But suddenly the fire dissipated like ink, turning into an endless snowfield. The girl crying in the fire dragged him along the ground with difficulty on the sled, along the black railway track that went deep into the wilderness, as if along the Following the devil's guidance to enter hell, the road they walked left deep ruts and was submerged by wind and snow a few minutes later.

Suddenly there was a child in my ears saying that we should go all the way south to the warm China, where there are flowers that bloom in all four seasons.

But everything was restored in the blink of an eye. Zero still looked into his eyes coldly, and they still looked at each other in the crowd.

Lu Mingfei didn’t know why he suddenly felt a sour nose, as if you had made a promise with someone to never betray each other until death, but you got separated. You kept looking for him, even if you had to go to the ends of the earth, but you never found any trace of him. However, just when you were about to give up, that person suddenly appeared in front of you.

That sour feeling, that feeling of relief, that feeling of déjà vu.

"Why should you apologize? I think this is good. Whatever you do to someone who doesn't love you is wrong, so why do you do it?" Lu Mingfei smiled. Years of brutal training have allowed him to control his emotions well, and the inexplicable effects of his calmness have been deeply buried.

"Many years ago, I wanted to go back to my parents, but someone told me that they were very bad people, and he helped me kill them."

Her voice was extremely low and mysterious, as if she wanted to tell some secret that was suppressed deep in her heart. Lu Mingfei glanced at Ling in surprise, but said nothing.

Ling is a person who hides many secrets in his heart. Sometimes when Lu Mingfei looks at her, he will think of the word "carrying forward with a heavy load". He has also been curious about it, but he has never thought about uncovering those secrets.

It is very common for people like them to hide things in their hearts. Who can open their hearts? Blood mourning is the main theme, and loneliness always goes hand in hand with hybrids.

Ling seemed to have thought of something, and took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Mingfei's hand. It was the half-pack of Gentle Seven Stars that had been lost.

"Mr. Collins gave this to me. He said he found it in the clothes you took off."

Lu Mingfei smiled, took out a cigarette familiarly, and searched all over his body to find the electronic cigarette lighter with a metal shell. The fragrant electric heating wire lit up with a click, like a small gas stove.

"Then, he killed them..." The green smoke rose straight up, and the light spots flickered. Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck the entire cigarette into his lungs.

When he did this action, he was actually quite silent, his brows furrowed, his eyes wandering and not looking at Ling, and his body looked inexplicably bleak, as if someone who was about to travel far away was saying goodbye to his last brother or lover, breathing heavily. After finishing the cigarette, I put out the cigarette butt and embarked on a journey until death.

"I had a very hard time as a child. I lived in an orphanage in Siberia. The nearest city there was Verkhoyansk. The only plants were lichens and moss. The exterior walls of the orphanage were gray and white, and all the buildings were surrounded by airtight walls. City wall, in the middle of the city wall is a lawn with a heating system all year round, and white poppies are planted in the lawn." Ling rarely said so many words at one time, Lu Mingfei always felt that she was a bit similar to Chu Zihang, and he hid in his heart He is filled with great anger and fear, carrying something unimaginable on his shoulders, but he is still adhering to an unknown promise.

Such a person should be tired, so tired that he doesn't want to say too much.

"When that person took me out of the orphanage, he said he would send me back to my parents. But when we arrived in Moscow, we found that my parents were not good people..." Zero hesitated, her voice almost as low as Unable to hear, Lu Mingfei still listened with his eyes lowered.

"He said that my mother was a slut who was keen on hanging out in the upper circles of Moscow at that time, and that my father was an alcoholic. If I returned to them, I might be forced into prostitution."

They stood in the crowd and seemed to have no idea where to go, but they took their time. Lu Mingfei lit another cigarette, and as soon as he took a puff, he realized that his hand was empty. It turned out that Zero had taken it.

In the man's stunned eyes, the girl followed his example and smoked into her lungs, then coughed violently two seconds later.

Lu Mingfei chuckled and patted Ling's back.

"What I want to say is that even if there is someone with whom your blood is thicker than water, you are born into two worlds. If you stay with him, there will be no good ending, just like my parents and I. I I don't feel sad for their death, because my father got his job at the Academy of Sciences by selling me to Siberia." Ling stood on tiptoes and swept away the ash falling from Lu Mingfei's shoulders, like brushing away the snow in winter. , her eyelashes are long and curved, her beautiful eyes are looming,

"But fate will never make us lonely and desperate all the time. There will always be someone who will vow to never break up with you. This vow will last for thousands of years until the end of death."

Her voice was firm, like a sword clanging for a moment, and her expression was unprecedentedly serious and solemn. After brushing away the ashes, Zero stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes.

But suddenly the armor built with strength in those eyes broke through at this moment.

Because when Lu Mingfei touched her hair, it was not like the tenderness he felt towards the girl he loved when stroking Xia Mi and Eriki, but like stroking the head of a kitten.

The white-gold eyes were like the ice thawing in the harsh winter, with subtle ripples appearing. Zero did not resist, and did not seem to find it strange. It was natural for them to get along like this.

As people were passing by, Mingfei laughed loudly, and many people stopped to look sideways. After he finished laughing, he patted Ling on the shoulder, "Looking at how you look about fourteen or fifteen years old, you sound like our philosophy teacher." He said.

Ling lowered her head and said nothing as Lu Mingfei led her through the sea of ​​people. "Thank you for comforting me. I have actually let go of some things." He said.

A long time ago, Lu Mingfei still had some extravagant hopes. He hoped that he could be recognized by his aunt. He knew that his aunt didn't like him, but she was his family after all.

Later he realized that his aunt had never considered him as a family member and would never consider him as a family member, and he, Lu Mingfei, should leave the apartment alone.

Some people are like this. Their hometown cannot carry their body, just as the distance cannot embrace their soul.

In fact, Lu Mingfei wanted to say a lot. He was not a taciturn person originally. Although he has learned to disguise now, Zero is always the person he can open his heart to.

But in the end, Lu Mingfei said nothing. Tonight Zero had already shared enough secrets with him, and there was no need for him to share more of his own secrets as a foil.

"When did you start smoking?" Zero asked suddenly. Lu Mingfei said: "It's been a few years. When I was in high school, Chu Zihang often scared me that I would get lung cancer."

"Mixeds don't get cancer." Zero frowned, "But you're cool when you smoke."

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He stopped and looked at the cold girl who was still holding his arm. Then he suddenly stretched out his other hand and turned it over to put the back of his hand close to her forehead.

"What a bastard, how dare you seize the home of Your Highness the Princess!" Lu Mingfei laughed softly.

Zero glanced at him coldly, and after a few seconds said, "Haha."

"I know it was a very cold joke, but you were too perfunctory."

"Should I laugh out loud then?"
