Chapter 300 Business Compliments and Trials
When she learned that Lu Mingfei was the dragon slayer who killed the White King, she had already changed her opinion of that loser who was favored by everyone in Shilan Middle School.
His danger level was raised from a roadside weed to the strongest hybrid in the world (suspected).
The reason why it was a suspicion rather than a certainty was simply because she had not seen the legendary Angers.
If she knew that the so-called strongest dragon slayer in the world was just a man racing against time, she would probably wake up laughing in the middle of the night.
But Lu Mingfei is different, his actual combat record will not bluff anyone.
He did not join the Kassel Academy. There is another organization behind him. It is easy to imagine that the secret party will not help him to give false testimony.
Regardless of whether he slayed the dragon single-handedly or used some forbidden weapon, it was worth it for her to re-evaluate this boy who always served as the background for various jokes.
Especially when the other party was approaching with people but Xia Mi didn't notice it at all, which made Xia Mi's inner alarm sirens go off.
But on the surface there was nothing unusual.
Her current character is that of a rookie who has just entered the Kassel preparatory class. She has only a vague understanding of the secrets of the dragon clan, and she shouldn't know the true identities of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang. She even has to follow the instructions of the preparatory class and not reveal the existence of the dragon clan and hybrids to ordinary people.
So, she just looked at Lu Mingfei and the pretty girl with red eyes next to him with the curiosity that a normal girl should have. After a brief eye contact, her eyes turned into surprise, and then from surprise to surprise:
"Hey, you are... Senior Brother Lu Mingfei?"
There was just the right amount of uncertainty in her voice. To avoid making a fool of herself, she pulled out a Nokia touch-screen phone from her pocket. The outer shell had a few scratches but was wiped spotlessly clean. She tapped the buttons with her fingertips, opened a picture, and after careful comparison, she finally confirmed:
"Wow, it's really you!"
The girl's performance was textbook-level.
From her slightly dilated pupils to her body leaning forward unconsciously, to that perfectly timed exclamation, she looked like a lucky little girl who went back to her alma mater during the holidays and felt that the trip was worthwhile after running into her senior.
You can't tell that she's actually a little witch who would tamper with other people's precious memories.
"But shouldn't you be in Japan saving the world?" Xia Mi tilted her head slightly after being surprised, "Why did you come back so soon?"
Lu Mingfei could naturally hear the temptation in her words, and smiled and waved his hands: "I'm not Ultraman, how can I possibly fight against natural disasters? It's just a joke. If there is any danger, of course you should return home as soon as possible. It's safer here."
I don't believe you at all, you are a useless senior who is very bad.
Xia Mi didn't believe it, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she looked at the red-eyed girl next to her who was looking at her inquiringly.
Eri was staring at her without blinking. Although her face was expressionless, Xia Mi could feel the curiosity flashing in her eyes. She was not looking at her rival, but like a cat staring at a perfect ball of fur, ready to make a move.
"What are you doing..." Xia Mi glanced back and forth between the two of them, revealing a yearning yet mischievous smile: "You confessed successfully and brought the person back?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, I knew he was an old Shilan person, just like him.
"What do you mean by '拐'? It sounds so ugly." Lu Mingfei felt offended. He was a pure gentleman and had the approval of Eri's parents. How could he use the word '拐'?
"You call me Senior Brother, and you are also a student of Shilan Middle School? Why haven't I seen you before?"
He answered the questions that Chu Zihang didn't ask.
It's not surprising. After all, a girl as beautiful as Xia Mi cannot be unknown in Shilan Middle School, where hormones are overflowing and almost everyone is in love. She will be hailed as the school belle by those who like her within a few days of entering school.
But when Lu Mingfei searched through all the memories he had received, he could not find any words or pictures about her.
"I'm a year younger than you." The girl said as a matter of course, "I was still young at that time and hadn't grown up yet."
Lu Mingfei looked at her deeply and thought that what Zhang Wuji’s mother said was right, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
From the moment we met, this girl never spoke a word of truth.
Aren’t all mixed-race people good-looking from childhood to adulthood? How many of them are ugly?
Thousands of miles away, a certain idle white-blonde girl suddenly sneezed.
"Girls change a lot when they grow up. They become more and more beautiful. Congratulations on not growing ugly." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up, his tone so sincere that no one could find fault with it.
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes." Xia Mi returned the greeting with a fist. Her movements were neat and swift, and she looked like a chivalrous lady:
"Brother Lu, you are getting better now. You are almost as handsome as Brother Chu."
In the past, Lu Mingfei would feel embarrassed to talk to pretty girls, but now he can lie without blinking an eye. It can only be said that he hides his lies really well.
Chu Zihang watched the two of them flattering each other while testing each other calmly. He felt that they were really acting well and turned a youth campus comedy into a spy film.
"We are going to the cafeteria to have lunch. Brother Lu, would you like to join us?" Xia Mi made an invitation.
"You're treating?" Lu Mingfei seemed not to notice the girl's plain attire and her old cell phone.
"Shouldn't it be the senior brother who invites the junior sister?" Xia Mi raised her index finger and shook it, looking disappointed: "Senior brother, you won't be liked by girls if you act like this."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei raised his hand, which was interlocked with Eri's, and the corners of his mouth curled up into the shape of the Nike logo: "What did you just say? The wind was too strong and I couldn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"
Xia Mi: “…”
She lowered her head to glance at her phone, then looked at Chu Zihang solemnly: "Brother, school is almost over, and the cafeteria will be packed soon. We have to hurry."
After saying that, he walked forward quickly, as if he was afraid that if he went too late, there would only be leftovers.
Passing by Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi, the former's eyes met Chu Zihang, he nodded slightly, turned around and followed the girl who was leading the way in front.
"Sakura, who is this girl? She's so cute." Eri asked in a low voice, Xia Mi's slender back reflected in her light-colored pupils.
Although she herself looks as delicate as a doll, she has to admit that the girl jumping in front has a natural lively beauty, which is exactly what she lacks now.
"Junior." Lu Mingfei answered concisely.
"What are you talking about? You're mumbling something bad about me?" Xia Mi, who was leading the way, suddenly turned her head and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Yes, they said you were reincarnated as a starving ghost."
"You're lying. Do you think I don't understand Japanese? Kawaii obviously means cute." Xia Mi hummed to express her dissatisfaction.
"You already know it, but you're still asking, girl? Your name is Vanity." Lu Mingfei pointed at her.
Xia Mi rolled her eyes and took advantage of the situation to make a move. She suddenly slowed down her pace and moved closer to Eri: "What's the name of this sister? Is her eye color natural or does she use cosmetic contact lenses?
Dyeing your hair red is so bold and avant-garde!"
As she got closer, she could feel the power surging through Eri's body.
That was the aura that only the pure descendants of the White King could possess, and it was so pure that it was frightening.
Judging from her perception, the girl's blood concentration has obviously exceeded the critical blood limit, but she can still maintain her human form.
She stared at the bulging collar of Eri's shirt, trying to see something else inside, like dragon scales or a gasket.
But unfortunately, we only see the gap that is visible to the naked eye and difficult to make up.
Lu Mingfei didn't need to translate this question. Eri, who had already started learning to speak Chinese, caught the key words and answered in standard Mandarin:
"Hello, my name is Uesugi Eriya, thank you for your guidance."
This was one of the daily expressions that Lu Mingfei taught her, and she practiced it very skillfully.
"Hello, my name is Xia Mi." The girl stretched out her hand, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, as if she wanted to get close to the beautiful sister.
Eiry glanced at Lu Mingfei, and seeing that he did not stop her, she followed his example and stretched out her hand to shake hers.
Lu Mingfei paid close attention throughout the entire process and did not feel any fluctuations released by the Word Spirit. The handshake also broke apart instantly, so he felt slightly relieved.
But no one knew the shock Xia Mi felt after she let go.
Is this girl named Eri sure that she is not a dragon in human skin?
The quality of the dragon blood in her body is already comparable to that of the next generation, and there is still a lot of potential that has not been developed.
Could it be that she has already embarked on that path?
…
The four of them arrived at the cafeteria before school was over. Chu Zihang silently took out his meal card, like a walking ATM machine.
Xia Mi originally wanted to be more reserved and only chose two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, but after seeing the pile of food plates piled up by Lu Mingfei and Eiry, she decisively added another serving of sweet and sour pork ribs.
Eri's eating manners were textbook elegant, she chewed slowly and in small bites, but the food disappeared at an eerie speed.
Xia Mi glanced sideways secretly, thinking that this was probably the legendary "quiet as a virgin, active as a glutton".
As expected, the local climate and soil determine the local people. She always chews her food slowly for fear of eating too fast and not feeling full.
When young people gather together for a meal, there is naturally no rule of not talking while eating. Xia Mi continued to gather information:
"Brother Lu, why don't you take the college entrance examination? Did you get the admission letter from Brother Chu's school?"
"Well, the interview was easy and I passed." Lu Mingfei said with just the right amount of reserve. He already knew that the result of the interview was fixed. Even if he answered randomly and spoke nonsense, that old man Guderian would rack his brains to give him full marks and pass him.
This is what it means to have a great scholar debate the scriptures for me.
"So Senior Brother Chu's visit this time..."
"Because I didn't agree, of course."
Xia Mi asked knowingly, "Why?"
"Because I love this land deeply." Lu Mingfei said righteously.
"Then why did you go to Japan during the college entrance examination?"
"Because I plan to expand the territory and achieve unprecedented achievements."
The girl's eyes almost rolled to the back of her head. She finally realized that she couldn't get any useful information from this guy who talked nonsense all the time.
Then he turned to look at Chu Zihang:
"Brother, if I can't complete the enrollment task, will it have any impact on you?"
Chu Zihang shook his head, remaining as frugal with his words as ever.
The smile on Xia Mi's face was a little stiff, and she felt that there was something wrong with these two people.
One doesn't speak human language, and the other simply doesn't speak at all.
Isn’t it said that boys will dress up like a peacock spreading its tail in front of a pretty girl?
How come she suddenly met two people who didn't have such worldly desires?
No……
She glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was adding more food to Eri's meal, and ignored this guy who was already taken.
Just as she was mentally stabbing Lu Mingfei, she heard Chu Zihang, who was sitting next to her, ask, "Where are you studying now?"
"In the Affiliated High School of Peking University." Xia Mi held her chin with one hand, and looked at him with eyes as clear as autumn water: "There are many top students like you in there, but unfortunately they are not as good-looking as you."
"Do you regret transferring schools?" Lu Mingfei interrupted at the right time to prevent his good brother from falling into the honey trap.
"Not really. The capital is much more prosperous than this small place." Xia Mi swung her legs and said this, but no one knew what she was thinking.
"Then why did you suddenly want to come back to this little place? Is there someone you can't forget?"
"No, I just suddenly wanted to see the sea." She turned her head and looked out the window, the midday sun dancing on her eyelashes: "This place is close to the sea..."
Chu Zihang's eyes fell on her clean jade-like profile: "Are your parents at ease if you come alone?"
"They have to take care of their brother, so I have to come alone." The girl pursed her lips and her voice suddenly dropped, like a deflated ball.
A barely perceptible trace of disappointment flashed across the half of the face not illuminated by the sunlight.
Hearing the key words again, Eri raised her head abruptly, with the food still bulging in her cheeks.
She blinked in confusion, not understanding why mentioning her brother made Xia Mi look like that.
In her opinion, her brother should be someone like Gen Chisei, who would touch her hair gently and try his best to satisfy her willful demands.
But Lu Mingfei's heart tightened when he heard this. He sat up straighter and stared at Xia Mi: "What happened to your brother?"
With Old Tang and Constantine as examples, he really didn't want to see the Xia brothers and sisters "holding a treasure" again.
Xia Mi was a little puzzled. She didn't know why he reacted so strongly, but she still told the truth. She used chopsticks to pick up the remaining rice on the plate, and her voice was filled with a bit of loneliness that she was used to:
"My brother has dementia. The doctor said he also has a bit of bipolar disorder. Sometimes he loses control of his emotions. So my parents have to stay at home with him during the holidays. If I want to go out to play, I have to go alone."
Lu Mingfei did not respond immediately. He knew that the girl in front of him rarely spoke the truth, but this time... that lonely look did not seem to be acted.
I had an inexplicable intuition that this time, Xia Mi might not have lied.
"Then where do you live by yourself, a hotel?" He pondered and changed the subject.
"Brother, why are you asking so many questions?" Xia Mi looked at him fiercely, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, his eyes full of vigilance against fire, theft and his brother:
"The single girl's residence is top secret!"
"Really? I was thinking of finding you a flower protector because I was worried that you wouldn't be safe alone." Lu Mingfei gave Chu Zihang a helpless look, "Since you don't need it, forget it."
"Ah? This...this, is actually still necessary." Xia Mi took back her previous words awkwardly.
Lu Mingfei was a bit difficult to deal with, and he was testing Chu Zihang intentionally or unintentionally. Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity to be alone with Chu Zihang.
"Haha, it's too late." Lu Mingfei sneered, "Now that the college entrance examination is over, your school should have resumed normal classes. How long do you want to stay here and play?"
Being a person should be honest and not be full of lies.
Come on girl, tell me your personality, so that Senior Brother Chu can naturally test your depth.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi knew that without giving a suitable reason, there would be no way for her to get close to them and dig out the secrets. Although this identity was important at the moment, the Dragon King's bones were more important.
"I also received an offer from a foreign university. I will study in a foundation course in the second half of the year and don't have to go back to school."
