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

Chapter 26 Explosion!
In "flow" mode, time always flies.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what "flow" was; he had simply gotten used to the feeling.

In just three days, a highly efficient and focused learning process has become his daily routine.

Indeed, people don't know their limits until they are pushed to the limit!
It's 3 PM sharp, time to let out for school.

What time are you going?

Liu Miaomiao, who sat at the desk in front of me, packed her bag, turned around, and asked in a low voice.

"Where?"

At first, Lu Mingfei didn't understand, but after realizing that Liu Miaomiao was asking him if he wanted to learn piano, he casually answered.

"Oh, I'm not going."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei had quickly packed his things, she finally came to her senses. "No, how can you not go!"

In her excitement, her voice involuntarily rose a little.

As a girl with some piano talent and who also enjoys playing the piano, after witnessing Lu Mingfei's "inhuman" level piano talent, she naturally wanted to see if Lu Mingfei could maintain this talent.

And, what level will Lu Mingfei reach in the art of piano in the future?

Now Lu Mingfei is telling her he's not going to learn piano anymore, what a waste of his talent... what a terrible misuse of his abilities!
How can we tolerate this?
This is like a chef seeing someone bring a bunch of ingredients of national banquet quality and then make some terrible Indian street food!

Inside the classroom, some students were packing up their things, while others were chatting and gossiping, all feeling bored.

As soon as Liu Miaomiao's highly recognizable voice rang out, more than a dozen eyes around her immediately focused on her.

After identifying both parties involved, they became even more energetic, simultaneously gathering their belongings or chatting to cover their tracks while eavesdropping.

Gossiping and enjoying the juicy gossip is human nature.

Not to mention, on one side is Liu Miaomiao, one of the three beauties in the class, and on the other side is Lu Mingfei!
Actually, if the other party were Lu Mingfei, it might not have mattered, since he's always been cheeky and often says nasty things.

But things are different now.

So far, the tutoring has been going on for more than two days, and today is the third day.

Lu Mingfei had been creating some truly sensational events for Shilan Middle School for the past two days, and the buzz hasn't died down yet!

So you came again today?

Lu Mingfei shuddered at the sight of Lu Mingfei's gaze.

Having been a nobody for so long, he is extremely sensitive to the opinions of others, to the point that he feels immense pressure whenever he faces them.

[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

Well, it's two ghosts knocking on the door now; the countdown to the electric shock from the trench has never been late!

It was already after school, and Lu Mingfei had to get to the basketball court right away.

But it wouldn't be good to just leave without saying anything... What would that leave Liu Miaomiao in?

But Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't know why Liu Miaomiao was suddenly so agitated.

In his haste, he noticed that Liu Miaomiao had already packed up. Without thinking too much, he grabbed Liu Miaomiao's hand and pulled her outside, saying, "Come on, let's talk as we walk!"

They left the "crime scene" at lightning speed, leaving the entire class bewildered.

No... Who are we? Where are we?

Can someone tell us what just happened?
Everyone was quiet for a while, and only after they had barely figured out the situation did they start talking amongst themselves.

Liu Miaomiao took the initiative to ask Lu Mingfei, "Why aren't you going?" and where they were going.
Lu Mingfei even took Liu Miaomiao's hand and left, just like that. He acted as if no one else was around, utterly arrogant!
When did they develop this kind of relationship?
The discussion was incredibly heated! And increasingly outrageous speculations kept emerging.

While discussing the topic, many people couldn't help but glance in one direction.

That's Chen Wenwen.

The whole class, no, even the whole school, knew that Lu Mingfei liked Chen Wenwen. Everyone knew that Lu Mingfei was Chen Wenwen's loyal and valiant lieutenant...

It seems now that "like" and "loyalty" should both be preceded by "formerly".

Because in everyone's eyes, Lu Mingfei's actions were clearly "defection to the enemy," and it was unlikely that he would ever return.

It's like you were working as a lowly employee at a company for two and a half years, working yourself to the bone without a raise, and then you switch jobs and hook up with the beautiful CEO of the rival company, getting both money and power in your hands... Even a fool would know which one to choose!
But when exactly did all of this happen?

……

The speculations in the classroom were endless and rapidly evolving; this level of gossip was truly divine and not to be missed! Meanwhile, outside the classroom, Liu Miaomiao, who was being pulled downstairs, hadn't yet come to her senses.

Actually, Liu Miaomiao regretted it a little as soon as she shouted it out in the classroom.

Even if Lu Mingfei never touches the piano again, what does it have to do with me? I'm nobody to Lu Mingfei!

Before she could think of a way to ease the situation, Lu Mingfei reached out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her away. Her mind went blank, and she subconsciously followed.

He's so strong, it feels like I'm being dragged along. Girls' hands are usually ice-cold, but boys' are different; they're warm, almost burning hot. I never expected Lu Mingfei, who looks so frail, to have such big, strong hands…

Their thoughts were a jumbled mess until they reached the first floor, where they managed to sort them out.

Liu Miaomiao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem—

No, this was in the classroom! How dare he grab my hand?
"Um, sorry, I was in a bit of a rush just now. By the way... could I hitch a ride with you?"

Lu Mingfei let go of her hand, scratched his hair, and asked with a shameless grin.

"Let's talk in the car. I've arranged to play basketball at the Qingning Basketball Court, and running there now might not be enough time..."

Lu Mingfei can make arrangements to a certain extent as long as it's not written in the schedule.

For example, going to the basketball court can be done by running or taking a car. It's just that the first time, Lu Mingfei didn't have the option of taking a car, so the system automatically assigned him to run.

"play basketball?"

Liu Miaomiao was taken aback, but didn't refuse. "I'll give you a ride, but you have to tell me why you've stopped practicing the piano?"

"Because today's schedule doesn't include piano practice."

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, "According to my plan, the next piano practice should be the night after tomorrow."

When filling out the schedule, Lu Mingfei didn't really have a concept of the plan he was writing.

For example, fitness should actually be done for two hours a day, one hour of strength training and one hour of cardio, with three days of training and one day of rest for a more scientific approach; piano should be practiced every day, but each practice session doesn't need to be too long... He didn't know these things before.

He is a complete novice, occasionally bursting with confidence and making impulsive decisions.

Fortunately, the execution plan leads to a corresponding increase in proficiency. Otherwise, if an ordinary person were to practice like this, they would not only easily ruin themselves, but might also end up achieving nothing!
In short, the only "interests" category that changed daily in Lu Mingfei's schedule, namely [fitness], [piano], and [Tai Chi], rotated every three days in a cycle.

There's no way to change things now; we can only follow the plan.

"So you still went?"

Liu Miaomiao was dumbfounded. "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

"You didn't ask that, you asked what time we'd be going, right? I just said I wasn't going..."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head again, finally realizing what was happening.

"Wait, you don't think that when I said I wouldn't go, I meant I'd never go again!"

Liu Miaomiao's delicate face flushed red instantly as she finally managed to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.

Lu Mingfei's answer was theoretically correct, but she misunderstood in her haste and excitement!
A series of chain reactions led to the current situation.

How can this be good?

It's easy to imagine how this scene of being led away from the classroom by the hand will be talked about in the class and even throughout the whole school!

"...Are you still giving me a ride?"

Lu Mingfei asked tentatively. He wasn't stupid. He was really in a hurry and had no other choice at the time. Now he also realized how big the consequences of his actions in his desperation would be.

"I'll clarify things then. Besides, other people probably won't believe me or you anyway..."

"Need not!"

Liu Miaomiao glanced at him, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment, "Don't you know that the more you try to clarify, the more chaotic things become? All they want is gossip, does the truth even matter?"

"That……"

"The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. As long as I'm normal, I have a clear conscience!"

Liu Miaomiao took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and led Lu Mingfei towards her BMW.

"boarding!"

"Domineering!"

Lu Mingfei beamed with delight, showering him with flattery, and scurried into the car.
