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

Chapter 235 The Little Fairy Who Accepts Defeat

Goodbye, Uncle Chen!

Lu Mingfei said goodbye to Uncle Chen, opened the car door, and stuck his foot out.

Logically, since he was going to a piano lesson, he could have easily hitched a ride back with Liu Miaomiao's family. However, given that he's already been dubbed the "little wild boar that digs up cabbages" by the vegetable farmer... he couldn't go too far.

After all, the vegetable farmers might not cut the bok choy out of consideration for the bok choy. What if the wild boars take advantage of the situation and trigger a "this is intolerable" situation?
As his feet touched the ground, Lu Mingfei stepped on it and felt a strange sensation. It wasn't as solid as he remembered; it seemed as if there was something in between. He looked down and saw that the ground was covered with a thin layer of frost.

The night sky was shrouded in thick, dark clouds, obscuring the stars. Occasionally, the moon would peek through gaps in the clouds, its light blurry and quickly disappearing. The light was pale and misty, barely illuminating the nearby ground. Thin frost reflected the moonlight, like a thin layer of silver gauze.

"The humidity is much higher than usual this winter."

Liu Miaomiao, who arrived a little earlier than him, spoke up.

Although she arrived early, she didn't want to go straight home, so she came up with a way to delay her for a while... nothing more than tying her shoelaces and checking the contents of her backpack.

Fortunately, the time difference was not long, just one after the other, so it didn't turn her behavior into an act of "people always pretend to be busy when they are embarrassed".

"Yes, they said it was because of cold air moving south?"

"The cold air only caused the temperature to drop sharply; the humidity is something we naturally bring here. Logically, cold air should make things drier, but the southward-moving cold air mass is extremely dry and cold."

Liu Miaomiao gently kicked the ground. "But it's already this damp now that the cold air has arrived. I really don't want to think about what it will be like when the cold air leaves and the temperature rises. Will it be like the humid winter?"

"Wearing clothes while in a sauna, is it still cold?"

Lu Mingfei shuddered. "Just thinking about it is despairing."

When the "return to spring" weather occurs, the air humidity will be close to saturation, and everything will be damp. If it is a tiled wall, you can just touch it and your hand will be wet. If the "return to spring" weather occurs in winter... it really takes the magic attack of low temperature to the extreme.

"Never mind, goodnight...see you later!"

Liu Miaomiao waved goodbye to Lu Mingfei with satisfaction, adding a final sentence.

Her heart was already racing after just a few words, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it if it continued... Normally, this wouldn't be the case, but the problem was that things weren't normal right now—it was obvious that her parents were probably hiding in some corner, secretly watching!

This feeling of "knowingly committing a crime" was naturally unbearable for Liu Miaomiao, who had always been a well-behaved girl.

See you later~

Lu Mingfei's voice softened unconsciously. After watching Liu Miaomiao turn and enter the house, he turned and stepped over the iron gate. His thoughts quickly turned to what he was about to do, and he felt a little expectant.

Even the slight fatigue that couldn't be completely eliminated by [Stamina Recovery] and [Stamina Boost] after a long day was dispelled by excitement.

People never feel tired when they are preparing to do something "bad".

He slid the key into the lock, turned it, and with a slight "click," he pushed the door open and entered.

"I'm back!"

The bright yellow lights illuminated the entire living room and entryway, and a comfortable warmth wafted over, like a gentle hand patting away the lingering chill. The tense body subconsciously relaxed, and a smile unconsciously spread across the face.

Lu Mingfei closed the door behind him, as if he too had left that unfamiliar world filled with coldness and danger, and returned to his own little nest.

"You're back?" ×2
Zero and Su Xiaoqiang, sitting opposite each other on the sofa, turned their heads at the same time, their words identical but their tones completely different. Zero's question remained flat and emotionless, while Su Xiaoqiang's was undisguisedly impatient.

"Hmm... what are you doing?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously, quickly taking off his shoes and coat and moving closer. He felt incredibly lucky to have been served by two women before, but he felt that his fortune was too shallow. If it happened a few more times, he would probably shorten his lifespan.

"Playing chess."

Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei expectantly, "Do you know how to play? You do, right? I remember taking chess classes at school!"

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had seen Su Xiaoqiang like this. The little fairy should have been full of confidence and pride, but now she looked pitiful, as if she was just waiting for him, the great hero, to help her and then repay him with her body...

"I really want to."

Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Lu Mingfei could only express his regret, "But I slept better during the chess lesson. If it were Chinese chess instead..."

"Are you guaranteed to win 100%?"

"I won't be checkmated within at least three steps!"

"Yeah, I knew it."

Su Xiaoqiang sighed, looked at Ling, and said with drooping eyebrows, "I'm willing to accept the loss!"

Lu Mingfei looked left and right, opening his mouth as if to speak but then stopping himself.

"Stop looking, I won't tell you no matter how much you look."

Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei, her little mouth pouting in annoyance, so moist it made one want to take a bite.

"Actually, I'm not that curious..." Lu Mingfei felt like there was a monkey scratching at his heart.

"Tch." Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself, "Who do you think we are? Don't I know you well enough?"
However, she was clearly no longer interested in teasing Lu Mingfei. After confirming that Lu Mingfei had returned safely, she felt relieved. After yawning, she stood up from the sofa and went upstairs, leaving behind only the words, "I need to take a shower, see you later."

"oh oh……"

Lu Mingfei watched helplessly as Su Xiaoqiang disappeared around the corner of the stairs. A short while later, the door opened and closed again, and he hurriedly looked at Ling.

"can not say."

Ling spoke softly, her calm, icy eyes meeting his directly, as if she had already anticipated what he wanted to ask.

"Is it really not possible?"

Lu Mingfei was still unwilling to give up, "Just reveal a little bit, like the general direction? Or give me a few keywords!"

Lu Mingfei didn't know why Queen Zero and Little Fairy would make a bet, but he felt that one thing was almost certain: the content of their bet must be related to him!
"No." Zero still refused.

"Really?"

Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly felt that the current situation was perfect for doing what he had wanted to do before, only the method was different.

[Emotional Resonance]!
Originally, he intended to give the emotional resonance of "happiness" to Zero. What could be more interesting or more proving the power of this term than seeing the Ice Queen break through her ice and smile?

But now, it's not bad to resonate with this kind of curiosity that makes you want to scratch your head!

"Then don't blame me..."
