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

Chapter 140 The Good Girl's First Lie

Liu Miaomiao had never eaten such delicious spicy chicken in the cafeteria.

The initial spiciness, the crispy outer shell and the tender, juicy meat inside, the lingering spiciness with a hint of saltiness, and even a touch of...sweetness?

The food at Shilan Middle School's canteen has always been of good quality, but to say it's this delicious is an exaggeration. Did they hire a chef from a five-star hotel to cook for them?
Are you going home for a nap later?

Lu Mingfei ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice and asked.

"Yes."

Liu Miaomiao answered instinctively, "Are you going back too?"

"No, I just had a sudden inspiration. I thought if you weren't going back, we could continue composing that piece together."

Lu Mingfei showed off with a hint of smugness.

"I've found a brand new method that can greatly improve our previous arrangement efficiency! But there's no rush, and I have an exam this afternoon, so let's work on it tomorrow night."

A wave of immense frustration washed over Liu Miaomiao.

Zero is not here for some reason, and Su Xiaoqiang is even less likely to come. If I could arrange music with Lu Mingfei... this would be a rare opportunity!
But she missed this opportunity because she wanted to go home for a lunch break?

This feeling is comparable to missing out on a multi-million dollar lottery by choosing the wrong number!

How could I possibly accept that so easily?

If it's her family's driver who picks her up, the problem is easy to solve. She just needs to send a text message and wait for the driver to call and say, "I'm not feeling well today and can't pick you up on time."

The problem is that her driver was really unwell and took the day off, so her mother came to pick her up today!
If you're not going home for lunch and have to stay at school, you need a reason... You can't just say, "Your cabbage is going to hang a little white pig, so you're not going home for lunch," right?

She picked up another piece of spicy chicken, which had been incredibly delicious before, but now it tasted ordinary, even bland.

Lu Mingfei ate very quickly; before Liu Miaomiao could come up with a solution, he had already finished eating.

"Eat slowly, no rush."

Lu Mingfei didn't notice Liu Miaomiao's unusual behavior. In his opinion, it was normal for girls to eat slowly. Only a few girls, like Ling, could eat as elegantly as him but keep up with his eating speed.

Anyway, there's still a while before the countdown on the schedule, so it's fine for him to wait. If the time comes, he can just pull out his "Linear Algebra" textbook and start class on the spot.

But how could Liu Miaomiao, who was already feeling annoyed, still eat?
Fortunately, the portion of food she had ordered was not large to begin with, and in her haste, she quickly finished it off after a few bites, disregarding her image.

The two took their trays together, handed them in at the recycling station, and left the cafeteria. The whole process attracted the attention of countless onlookers.

The campus forum of Shilan Secondary School has naturally become extremely lively.

To be precise, the campus forum was never quiet during those ten days!
Posts such as "[Shocking! Queen Zero has disappeared, Liu Miaomiao seizes the opportunity]" and "Prediction successful! Liu Miaomiao may become the final winner" have been upvoted hundreds of times.

The midday sun in winter shines brightly and warmly from directly overhead, casting dappled shadows on the ground through the lush green leaves, which are then walked over by the boys and girls.

Liu Miaomiao felt no joy whatsoever.

Walking side-by-side with Lu Mingfei on campus is certainly something to be happy about, but compared to the "arranging music together on campus" that she missed, it's not worth mentioning.

She picked up the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon... She could have had both!
"You...should go back to the classroom?"

Despite the difficulty, Liu Miaomiao still said these words as she passed by the teaching building.

What if Lu Mingfei takes her to the school gate and her mother sees her?
Liu Miaomiao wasn't ready for her early romance to be discovered.

If things had already progressed smoothly and they'd won him over, that would be fine. But with a guy like Lu Mingfei, who's practically a "national treasure," even if you just bring him home, there's a high chance he'll get your parents' approval.

But now, not only is it far behind, but there are also two extremely strong competitors! It's barely acceptable for this to circulate as gossip on the campus forum, but what would be the reaction if my parents found out?
"Okay, see you this afternoon!" Lu Mingfei said, then hurriedly went upstairs.

Watching his figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Liu Miaomiao then took a step and walked towards the school gate.

The sun was still shining brightly, but it seemed to bring no warmth. On the contrary, the wind became a bit cold, and feelings of frustration and confusion lingered in the girl's heart.

Actually, there is a pretty perfect way to solve this, and that is to lie.

With just a simple lie, one can conveniently avoid going home for lunch break.

But Liu Miaomiao doesn't lie. As the saying goes, your appearance reflects your heart. She has a pair of very innocent eyes and has never lied to her parents since she was a child... After all, there's nothing worth paying the price of lying for.

But now, this has come to pass.

The girl was caught in a dilemma.

The distance from the teaching building to the school gate wasn't far, but it felt like an eternity to her.

But no matter how long the road is, it will eventually come to an end. Outside the school gate, a BMW X5 was parked on the side of the road. Watching her step out of the school gate, the car window rolled down, and Liu's mother waved.

Liu Miaomiao stepped forward.

At this moment, the pent-up frustration and annoyance finally reached their peak.

So, driven by its inner instincts, that very obedient sheep finally jumped out of the sheepfold for the first time.

"mom!"

Liu Miaomiao approached the car. "I need to discuss our winter break gathering with my best friend! Can I skip going home for lunch today?"

"Winter break party plans?"

Liu's mother was taken aback. "Okay, of course, but there's a math exam this afternoon..."

"It's just a mock exam, it's not important! And we shouldn't have to discuss it for long, I'll just lie on the table for a bit, it won't affect anything!"

Liu Miaomiao tried her best to put on a natural smile, but her heart was filled with anxiety.

"..."

Liu's mother looked at her obedient daughter quietly for a second, and finally said slowly and gently, "Okay, then you must make sure to get plenty of rest."

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Miaomiao was a little excited. Thinking about what was about to happen, she couldn't help but feel a little thrill. She couldn't help but walk towards the school, her face beaming with smiles.

"I'm going to the classroom now!"

"it is good……"

With a smile, Liu's mother watched Liu Miaomiao skip and hop towards the school.

He didn't even turn his head back!

"Ugh……"

The smile on her face vanished, she sighed softly, and started the car and drove away with some worry.

My dear daughter's first lie came so abruptly.

Just how outstanding is that guy to make his daughter so infatuated?
