Chapter 98: Aso, use a baseball bat on them!
As the saying goes, being a stranger in a foreign land, one misses his family all the more during every festive occasion.
Speaking of which, today is Thursday, and it’s the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in my hometown.
At this time of year in previous years, I would either stay at home and study strange and bizarre rice dumplings to amuse my wife and daughter, or take them to the Chu family to eat and drink.
If I had not traveled through time, then I in this world would undoubtedly be repeating my previous life, being yelled at by my aunt to buy vegetables, boil water, wash bamboo leaves, and make rice dumplings.
Lu Mingfei guessed that it was the old aunt who was talking about him behind his back. After all, the fat boy Lu Mingze had never done housework since he was a child, and his uncle was a gentleman who stayed away from the kitchen, so he was the only one who could help out.
That old woman is used to ordering people around, but unfortunately her future daughter-in-law is from a more prominent family than hers, and has a temper almost as bad as hers. Not only does she order her spoiled son around, but she also always complains about this and that, and doesn't take her, the mother-in-law, seriously at all.
Fortunately, although their personalities are not compatible, their figures are very compatible, and the silhouettes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they go out are like copy and paste.
An hour later, Lu Mingfei arrived at the senior department of Tokyo University High School in Bunkyo District.
Because he had no school uniform or school badge, he found a corner where no one was there and there was no surveillance and climbed over the wall.
"Baka, who told you to talk to Miyamura-kun?"
Lu Mingfei had just climbed over the wall and his feet had released the force. Before he could stand up, he heard a tongue-clicking sound with the unique Japanese bad boy style.
He was now behind the equipment storage room at the edge of the school playground, and the voice filled with dissatisfaction, anger and contempt came from inside the equipment storage room.
If he guessed correctly, this should be a very common bullying phenomenon in Japanese universities.
"I didn't, he came first..." A thin, soft voice with a hint of weakness and fear sounded. Just by listening to the voice, you could tell that this was the unlucky guy who was being bullied.
“Boom!”
There was a muffled sound, as if someone was pushed hard onto the sports equipment, and the bullied girl let out a short cry.
But this exclamation was quickly covered up, and the girl who cursed earlier spoke again: "How dare you quibble! Do you know that when an ugly freak like you gets entangled with you, the light on Miyamura-kun will dim a little?!"
"That's right, you don't even look in the mirror to see what you look like, and you actually want to snatch Miyamura-kun from Satomi."
"Look at your big buck teeth, your shabby hair, and your body that's bigger than a boy's. How are you a good match for Miyamura-kun?"
The voices of other girls were heard one after another. It was obvious that this was an incident of group bullying. If this was Conan's set, someone would be bleeding in the equipment storage room tonight, or someone would be hanged at the school gate.
Unfortunately, that's not the case here.
Listening to the increasingly extreme remarks, Lu Mingfei suddenly recalled the scene when he was a child and was cornered by those senior students and asked to pay protection money.
At that time, he was only in the third grade of elementary school. His parents were often not at home. In order to make up for the lack of their companionship, they left him a lot of pocket money.
He was young and ignorant, and his wealth was exposed. Some smart kids targeted him, and because they knew no adults would stand up for him, they could take advantage of him at will.
The girl inside is in the same situation as he was before, but Lu Mingfei was still able to contact his mother at that time, and he could ask the teacher to help solve the problem with just one phone call, but the girl inside probably couldn't wait for the teacher to come and rescue her.
Not every teacher is called Sakuragi Kenji and Iruka, who will stand up when students need them. Japanese teachers are better at smoothing things over than teachers in China.
Seeing that the progress bar of "It Takes Two to Tango" was about to reach the final round, Fly was ready to strip the egg with seams and then call the boys in the class to come in and watch. Lu Mingfei felt that it was time to take action.
He walked to the other side of the equipment storage room and exclaimed in a duck-like voice that was in the process of voice change: "What, a senior school girl confessed to Miyamura, is this true?"
After he finished speaking, the noise in the storage room suddenly quieted down. Then Lu Mingfei moved his feet and changed his tone, with a bit of envy and jealousy: "Why would I lie to you? Miyamura is so lucky. That senior is prettier than Rimi, with big breasts and a nice butt. Miyamura will definitely agree!"
"What are you waiting for? Go check it out. Where is it?"
"It's right over there at the gym, hurry up!"
After finishing his lines, Lu Mingfei ran a few steps and tiptoed into the back of the equipment storage room.
At the moment when he was hiding his achievements and fame, four or five female high school students in JK uniforms pushed open the door and swarmed to the other side of the playground, cursing the senior schoolmate for being so rude and for taking advantage of the young girl.
However, one small action they took before leaving did live up to their reputation as bad girls - they locked the door of the equipment storage room.
It was obvious that he was planning to stop the senior from eating younger girls and then come back to vent his anger on that unlucky country girl.
"Tsk tsk, girls are just so careful." Lu Mingfei sighed, grabbed the palm-sized padlock, exerted a little force, and pulled the iron chain down with his bare hands.
The door to the equipment storage room was opened. Lu Mingfei looked at the disheveled girl huddled in the corner and said, "Little girl over there, if you want to leave, do it now. If they find something wrong, they will come to trouble you later."
He didn't come here to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. He rescued them out of sympathy. Otherwise, he could have kicked the door open and given each of them a big bibi, causing them indelible psychological damage.
The girl who was curled up in the corner, hugging her arms and crying silently raised her head when she heard the words. Under her rustic hairstyle was a pretty face. She wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had slightly buck teeth.
She stared with red eyes at the boy who suddenly appeared at the door, dressed strangely and looked like a otaku, and her sight focused on the iron lock in his hand.
Although it was unclear who this person was, why he saved her and why he was strong enough to pull the padlock off, as the other party said, now was the only time to escape.
She hurriedly got up from the ground, hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, walked quickly forward, bowed 90 degrees and thanked the kind-hearted man.
The voice was so tiny, like that of a poor hamster.
Lu Mingfei touched his chin and suddenly said, "Lift your head and let me see."
The girl, who was about to get up and leave, trembled when she heard the words. She raised her head carefully, revealing her face with tears still on it, and there was a bit of uncertainty and fear in her eyes.
"You are..." Lu Mingfei stared at the girl carefully, as if he found a sense of familiarity in this face. Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I remember now, you are Makoto Aso?"
The girl, who was startled by the applause, was stunned when she heard the words. She looked at Lu Mingfei with a bit of doubt and said hesitantly:
"Um, do you know me?"
"Yes, of course I know you, but I don't know you right now."
Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded. The man in front of him was a talented person. Before leaving Japan, his brother-in-law did a lot of things and even set up a scholarship foundation to speed up the process of whitewashing.
This girl named Aso Makoto was one of the recipients of the financial aid. Later, she followed in her brother-in-law's footsteps and was admitted to the Law School of the University of Tokyo. After graduation, she joined his law firm and became a lawyer specializing in representing poor families.
According to my brother-in-law, this "younger generation" was a stubborn person and had encountered several assassination attempts in order to protect the interests of the grassroots people.

If the firm didn't have connections in both the black and white worlds and a long-term security company, they might not have been able to keep her.
All in all, this is a very capable and courageous girl. Lu Mingfei did not expect to meet her here.
Aso was really confused by what he said. What did he mean that the person he knew was not her now? Could it be her in the future?
Or have we met before? "Um, sorry, I can't remember where we met."
She bowed deeply again, her long hair covering her entire head, and she really looked like a Yinjiao (an introvert, unsocial, and gloomy person).
"When I saw you before, you were... well, very handsome. I didn't expect you to be like this now."
Lu Mingfei looked at the timid Masao Makoto, thought for a moment, picked up a baseball bat from the side and stuffed it into her hand: "Here, I'll give you a small gift."
"Ah?" Aso Makoto looked at the heavy baseball bat that was suddenly stuffed into his hand, and as his name suggests, he was numb.
Can something like a meeting gift be replaced by public property?
And why a baseball bat? "There are many things in this world that cannot be explained, just like when you told them the facts, they talked to you about reason; when you talked to them about reason, they talked to you about attitude; after you finally clarified your attitude, they said you were unreasonable, and it was all your fault.
Lu Xun once said, if you talk about reason, people won’t agree, but if you talk about physics, they will sit down and talk to you about reason.
Lu Mingfei grinned and gave Masao a thumbs up:
"Girl, just think of it as using a baseball bat on them to avoid upsetting your grandma!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around gracefully, and without paying any attention to Aso Makoto who was standing there in a daze, he quickly disappeared in the campus.
Aso is really a soft-hearted person. He still has a long way to go before he can become the tough lawyer in his previous life who dared to fight gangsters with a knife.
Lu Mingfei had no intention of forcing her to grow too fast, but there were some things he still had to let her know in advance - only by resisting could she avoid being bullied and protect herself and her family.
This is his personal experience playing ranked games in Zaun, and it is also a true portrayal of real life.
Aso Makoto has been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child. It can be said that her grandmother is her only concern. If she doesn't want to become a stay-at-home mom because of bullying, she will fight back!
Complete the super evolution from Aso Ouma as soon as possible and transform into Aso Takeshi!
At the door of the equipment storage room, Aso Makoto was holding a baseball bat, staring blankly at Lu Mingfei's disappearing back, and only came to his senses when the wind blew.
She looked at the baseball bat in her hand. This thing was both a sports equipment and a self-defense tool. She couldn't hold it or put it down.
Seeing the time passing by bit by bit, Rimi's group might return at any time, and finally she gritted her teeth and made up her mind -
Put the baseball bat back.
Rimi has a brother who is a gangster, and no one in school dares to mess with her.
There was once a girl who tried to rebel against the small group headed by her, but she was stopped on her way home from school. In the end, she took a two-week leave and chose to transfer to another school.
Aso really knew that the boy just now was doing it for her own good, but she really didn't have the courage to do it. If something happened to her, her grandmother would be left alone.
She lowered her head and left quickly, completely unaware that there was someone quietly watching her at the corner of the teaching building.
"Sure enough, it's still too much of a stretch."
