Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Black Myth

Chapter 20 Graduation Party
"Well, we'll be on our way then. Bye."

After Lu Mingfei said a brief goodbye, he immediately turned around, put his arm around Nuonuo's shoulder and prepared to leave.

"wait wait wait."

Lu Mingfei suddenly heard Zhao Menghua's voice behind him, so he stopped, looked at him indifferently, and asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Menghua stood up, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised for some reason, and said to Lu Mingfei with a look of pride:

"We're about to graduate, and Chen Wenwen and I are planning to hold a graduation party for our literature club. Lu Mingfei, do you want to come?"

Graduation party? Lu Mingfei felt a little strange. Is Zhao Menghua so enthusiastic that he even invited him to attend in person?

"Graduation? What a strange word." The past of high school days seemed so vague and illusory to Lu Mingfei now, as if they would soon disappear from his memory.

However, those were the carefree years that Lu Mingfei experienced in his early adolescence. The childish worries and sadness had long since disappeared, leaving only the oldness and nostalgia that spanned the long years. Just like Sun Wukong missed his years as the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain, Lu Mingfei also felt that his youth life, which he once hated, was a time worth remembering.

"When?" Lu Mingfei asked in a deep voice.

The arc of Zhao Menghua's mouth corners raised more obviously, "The day after tomorrow."

"Junior, your flight to the United States is the night after tomorrow," Nuonuo reminded.

So Zhao Menghua smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "How about the day after tomorrow afternoon? It shouldn't delay you, Lu Mingfei, from catching your flight, right?"

"Of course not. I will drive to pick you up then, okay?" Nuo Nuo looked at Lu Mingfei beside her and smiled sweetly, which made Zhao Menghua's eyelids twitch with envy and jealousy.

This made Lu Mingfei frown slightly, and he felt a little chilly and wanted to pull his hand away from Nuonuo's arm. Why did this woman suddenly pretend to be a caring senior sister? It seemed that she wanted him to attend this graduation party.

In this way, Lu Mingfei accepted Zhao Menghua's invitation and left the Aspiasa Italian restaurant with Nuonuo. In front of the courtyard gate of the old red brick house, the engine roar of Nuonuo's red Ferrari supercar was heard.

Inside the restaurant, Zhao Menghua stared at the red supercar speeding away through the French window. How could Lu Mingfei even get a car of this level, and let such a beautiful red-haired senior drive him?
"Why? Humph! Lu Mingfei, I don't know how a useless person like you can turn things around, but I'll see if you will still come out feeling smug the day after tomorrow!" Zhao Menghua thought viciously, and turned his gaze back to his beloved Chen Wenwen in front of him, with a loving smile on his face again.

In the red supercar, Nuonuo whistled happily while holding the steering wheel, and joked to Lu Mingfei who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat:

"Junior, you really got all the limelight today. I've told you long ago that you should enjoy the blessing of having a senior sister as majestic and beautiful as me!"

“Enjoy life?” Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and glanced at Nuo Nuo coldly. “A senior who can let me enjoy life is trying to get me to attend the graduation party that was obviously planned by Zhao Menghua to mess with me?”

".So you figured it out. Cough cough." Cold sweat broke out on Nuo Nuo's forehead and he coughed awkwardly.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo coldly. "Zhao Menghua invited me so suddenly and even changed the time so that I could attend. He definitely has bad intentions. But as for what he wants to do, I don't know."

"Then why do you agree?" Nuonuo felt confused.

"Why don't you agree? I want to see what he is thinking." Lu Mingfei's voice was calm, but the coldness in it made Nuonuo, who was driving beside him, shiver. She prayed for Zhao Menghua in her heart, hoping that this poor guy would not be beaten to death by Lu Mingfei.

In the evening, in the literature club’s QQ group, club members enthusiastically discussed what to do for the graduation party the day after tomorrow.

"Instead of having a dinner party, let's book a small hall in the cinema to watch a movie." Chen Wenwen said.

"What are you looking at?" someone asked.

"Wall-E," Chen Wenwen replied.

So her idea was recognized by everyone in the group, except Lu Mingfei.

In fact, Lu Mingfei’s QQ avatar has always been gray, and he has not participated in any group discussions.

Everyone was just a little concerned about why this unlucky guy who usually liked Chen Wenwen the most didn't show up enthusiastically, and no one asked whether he would come to the party the day after tomorrow.

In the dead of night, Lu Mingfei had just woken up from meditation. Bored, he turned on his computer and opened QQ to check the chat history of the literature club.

"Do you want to watch a movie, Wall-E? I seem to have seen it but have long forgotten it." Lu Mingfei closed the QQ chat interface with loss of interest and muttered to himself.

If he was just watching a movie, he would be curious about what Zhao Menghua was trying to do.

After shutting down his laptop, Lu Mingfei stopped thinking about these unimportant things and went back to bed to meditate.

Agreeing to attend this graduation party is also a small symbol of Lu Mingfei's desire to cut off the worldly ties. After all, just like he took the dangerous journey to the west in his previous life, in this world, he will also take an unusual road related to dragons, and the worldly fireworks and mundane ties are destined to have nothing to do with him.

The day after tomorrow, Wanda Cinema.

In the screening room, Lu Mingfei's figure was hidden in the dim lights in the back row. He stared indifferently at the students in the front row who were chattering and laughing. He seemed out of tune with these energetic young people.

"Lu Mingfei, can you change into this more formal attire and go on stage to give a speech later?" Zhao Menghua stretched out his hand, wanting to hand him a bag. "As a top student admitted to Kassel College, everyone is looking forward to your performance." He said with a smile.

However, Lu Mingfei felt that Zhao Menghua's smile couldn't be more hypocritical. He frowned and rejected his request:
"No, I'm not interested in giving a speech or anything like that."

After being rejected by Lu Mingfei, Zhao Menghua subconsciously wanted to scold him. But after seeing his deep figure blending into the shadows with no expression, Zhao Menghua recalled how he looked when he met Lu Mingfei yesterday, and realized that Lu Mingfei was no longer the bully he could boss around.

"What a pity." Zhao Menghua didn't say anything else. He just turned around and left with an extremely gloomy expression on his face.

"Lu Mingfei, do you think it's okay for you to be a complete bystander here? After you finally see the real purpose of Chen Wenwen and I holding this graduation party, I wonder if you can still be so arrogant and look down on others." Zhao Menghua thought insidiously.

Unconsciously, Zhao Menghua had placed the loser, whom he once looked down upon, in the position of an "enemy" of equal status.
