Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 123 Lu Shen, he's not even acting anymore!

[Warning, it's time to get up...]

Lu Mingfei slowly opened his eyes.

What I saw was the ceiling, which had become familiar over the past few days.

A strange and long-lost sense of ease permeated his entire body. In a daze, Lu Mingfei even felt that he hadn't slept for four hours, but rather for eight hours before he received the schedule.

So long that he even had time to have a dream, something he hadn't done in a long time.

A normal dream.

I probably haven't had a normal dream in a long time. The content of my dream seems fragmented and bizarre. Now that I'm awake, I can't piece together the fragmented images, and I can't recall them at all.

The only thing that left any impression on Lu Mingfei was a call that came from an extremely distant place.

The calling voice was ethereal and faint, as if separated by several mountains, so much so that he could only vaguely make out the syllables of what seemed to be the word "gege".

Whose pigeons have run away?

Lu Mingfei still remembered the rubbish he said in his dream.

If it were only this, he wouldn't have remembered it even after waking up.

The main sound that followed the call was a series of screams of pain.

The screams were so piercing, like being scraped through bone by a knife, the sharp pain seemed to drill into the brain through the auditory nerve.

Even now, when Lu Mingfei thinks back on it, he gets goosebumps all over.

"Was the lost... a racing pigeon that was bred at great expense?"

Lu Mingfei's thoughts wandered aimlessly.

"What a strange dream."

[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

Amid the warning, he leisurely got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up, even stretching quite casually in the process.

"I've never slept so easily before!"

Lu Mingfei sighed with pleasure and relief, quickly putting the somewhat strange dream out of his mind.

After washing up with almost muscle memory speed, Lu Mingfei packed his books and clothes and opened the door.

Sure enough, Zero was already standing at the door, like an ice sculpture that appeared with perfect timing, not a second too early. Her pale, almost pure white blonde hair shone with a dazzling luster under the warm lights of the hallway.

Good morning, Zero!

In just a few days, seeing Zero upon opening the door has become a regular occurrence in his schedule, and Lu Mingfei even prepares a smile in advance.

"Good morning." Zero nodded slightly.

The two went downstairs one after the other in tacit agreement, and as usual, they went out one after the other, merged into the road, and began their morning run.

The sky was as black as if it had been splashed with thick ink. The streetlights stood in two rows, their light dim and yellowish. A cold wind occasionally swept by, rustling the leaves. There were no other pedestrians on the road.

This should have been a painting titled "Loneliness".

But the steady, shallow breathing beside me, the two people's footsteps, one fast and one slow, and even the two puffs of white breath exhaled, gradually dispelled the loneliness in my "solitude".

Lu Mingfei, who already had the "energy" to think about other things, noticed this.

"If I opened the door one morning and didn't see Ling, and she wasn't there to go for my morning run with me, I would feel strange, wouldn't I?"

He suddenly realized this.

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frug

Zero, a girl who is completely expressionless, emotionless, and cold-faced, actually acts in a way that is as gentle and subtle as spring rain.

"Thinking about it, it's actually a little 'scary'."

Lu Mingfei mentally assessed the situation.

This sudden thought quickly drifted away, like clouds passing over a mountain peak, only to be replaced by a new one.

"Today is the last day of winter break make-up classes! Tomorrow and the day after are mock exams. The day after tomorrow is practically the start of the holiday, and then I can stay home and have Zero tutor me..."

As he pondered the detailed schedule for the next few days, his expression suddenly froze, and even his steps became somewhat unsteady.

Zero turned to look at him almost immediately, without saying a word, simply observing his state.

"broken!"

Lu Mingfei was unaware of Zero's observation; his mind was completely focused on the problem he had just discovered.

"I... I think I forgot about the mock exams!" Back then, when filling out the schedule, Lu Mingfei started to let loose after only a day or two. Then, to save time, he simply wrote "following the school's course schedule."

In this way, there is no problem participating in the mock exam normally, and there is no need to worry about being shocked by electric shock.

However... Lu Mingfei forgot about the mock exam, which caused him to fill in his plan to play basketball at 3 pm on those two days as usual!
As a poor student, it's understandable that he wouldn't remember exam results. Especially Lu Mingfei back then, he had developed a habit of subconsciously avoiding bad things, more like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

But the convenience it offered back then has now led to disastrous consequences!

"The plan to play basketball at 3 PM is definitely not going to change. It's obvious that a mere mock exam can't possibly meet my goal of becoming the 'strongest and most awesome man'!"

Lu Mingfei was a little numb.

"The only good news is that the school will not simulate the college entrance examination time in the mock exam. The exam will start at 2 pm instead of 3 pm, so I will have an hour to take the exam."

And the exams on the afternoons of the two days were... math and English?

"Forehead……"

Lu Mingfei's expression became slightly strange again.

His English is naturally beyond question. With his "mastery of language sense"—an almost superhuman level of "I think that's the meaning"—answering high school English questions is like writing an elementary school Chinese exam.

And mathematics—

"Come on, I've already completely mastered all high school math, and I personally oversee the schedule! Plus, with [Super Speed ​​Calculation] to handle the most time-consuming calculations, an hour is more than enough!"

Thinking of this, the tension and numbness that had just welled up in my heart suddenly dissipated.

"It's simply a matter of finishing the exam early and handing in the paper early."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although it goes against my usual principle of keeping a low profile, I have no choice but to do so because of the circumstances. I hope my classmates will understand. There shouldn't be any major problems!"

In truth, Lu Mingfei didn't care what others thought of him. What he cared about was the bet on the campus forum that Zero had shown him.

He definitely wouldn't accept it if he couldn't get a score above 600 because of time constraints.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Lu Mingfei, who is a living, breathing human being.

In the past, it wouldn't have mattered if you were incompetent and looked down upon.

But now, he has changed.

"Before I got the shock, people looked down on me, and after I got the shock, people still looked down on me... So I got the shock for nothing?"

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, his footsteps returning to a steady rhythm.

Zero, who had been closely watching him, turned around and kept his running speed consistent.

The two continued walking side by side toward Shilan Middle School.

Day nine has begun!

……

seven in the morning.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly and then parted.

The weariness in her eyes had not completely dissipated, and Liu Miaomiao was still yawning when she reached for her pillow.

The unlocked phone was immediately displayed on the Shilan Middle School's campus forum; all it took was a quick refresh.

The piano prodigy had never done this before, but Lu Mingfei had been up to something big every day these past few days... she couldn't possibly ignore it.

It was impossible for Liu Miaomiao to get up early and witness it with her own eyes. She tried asking her driver, but even the driver who arrived very early had never seen Lu Mingfei leave the house.

"Aren't you tired getting up so early?"

Liu Miaomiao thought to herself, skillfully finding the pinned, highlighted, and red-marked post on the refreshed screen—

[Lu Shen, he's not even acting anymore!]

What did he do now?

The girl thought to herself, and clicked to view.

A moment later, she put down her phone, looking somewhat distressed.

What the hell is "university physics"?

Why do you need to be so outstanding...?

This thought inevitably surfaced in the girl's mind.

If I weren't so outstanding, maybe I could have completely belonged to myself?
But now, apart from the piano, I don't know how to catch up in anything else~
