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

Chapter 70, the piano—it requires two people to practice together!
Lu Mingfei's "not-so-mature suggestion," despite being known as the "idea king," was ultimately rejected by Ye Sheng.

The reason for the rejection is simple—

“Regarding your immature suggestion, our country has a complete criminal law,” Ye Sheng said with a serious expression.

"how is this possible?"

Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

"Are dragons also protected by our laws?"

"Why do you think we call ourselves 'Descendants of the Dragon,' and why in our culture, the image of the dragon often represents positiveness and authority, with only a few negative stories circulating, while in other countries it's almost entirely associated with evil and tyranny?"

Ye Sheng explained.

"Many pure-blooded dragons in our ancient history lived in human form and were perfectly integrated into our culture... If you dig up a dragon tomb, you might find a historical figure whose name is recorded in history books!"
We have no legal protection for the tombs of dragons, but it's different for the tombs of historical figures.

Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. He never expected this to happen... After he came to his senses, he looked at Chu Zihang.

"Senior brother, I told you humans and dragons could mix together!"

Chu Zihang nodded slightly and looked at Ye Sheng: "You said before that the ideas and concepts of Kassel College are different from ours."

"Yes, that's the difference. Our cultural heritage allows us to accept some aspects of dragons."

Ye Sheng said in a deep voice.

"But the Secret Society, especially the Kassel College, is different. They have continued in a war that has lasted for thousands of years, and what sustains their existence is hatred and resentment. As for dragons, they have no choice but to exterminate them."

……

The long conversation was about to end. Ye Sheng left his contact information and said goodbye, as he had other tasks to complete.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, on the other hand, devoted themselves to their regular basketball training. His suggestion about "digging out the dragon's tomb" was just talk; even if he were actually asked to go, he wouldn't be able to.

I still have to complete my schedule!
Lu Mingfei didn't want to become an electric shock kid; he'd already been shocked enough today and hadn't recovered yet.

[Through diligent practice, your basketball skills have improved, gaining 3 proficiency points.]

【go through……】

After another two hours of exhilarating basketball training, Lu Mingfei glanced at his basketball proficiency panel.

Basketball LV1 - Proficiency 90/200 [Accurate Shots]

"At this rate, it might be able to upgrade again in another three or four days?"

Lu Mingfei pondered, feeling a little expectant, but not in a hurry.

That's just his personality. He only gets really eager to work hard when he's trying to level up, and he even does some outrageous things. But once he achieves his short-term goal, he becomes lazy and doesn't want to do anything anymore.

If it weren't for the electric shock from the schedule pressing against his buttocks, he would definitely have collapsed.

However, habit is a terrible force.

Even habits formed under duress are difficult to correct. It's only been five days since Lu Mingfei started his schedule; who knows what it will be like a month from now.

After playing basketball, taking a shower and changing his clothes, Lu Mingfei, who was walking out of the Qingning Basketball Hall with Chu Zihang, met Uncle Chen, who had "had something to do" and left early last night.

"Hey, Uncle Chen, didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"

After getting into the car, Lu Mingfei looked at Uncle Chen through the rearview mirror and asked curiously.

"No...right! A mosquito somehow got into the room last night, and it was a blood-sucking one. I was so itchy I couldn't sleep all night."

With dark circles under his eyes, Uncle Chen explained in a serious tone, "But don't worry, Mr. Lu, I was definitely not driving while fatigued. I already caught up on sleep this morning."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback: "Isn't it winter now? Where did these blood-sucking mosquitoes come from?"

Chu Zihang was sitting upright with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought. Upon hearing Lu Mingfei's question, he immediately opened his eyes.

Gossip Radar, activate!
"Haha, isn't this the South? This is how it is in the South. As soon as the weather gets a little warmer, blood-sucking mosquitoes appear out of nowhere."

Uncle Chen noticed Chu Zihang's gaze and quickly chuckled, subtly changing the subject. "Where is Young Master Lu planning to go tonight? You went to the gym last night, so you should be practicing piano at the music school tonight, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

Lu Mingfei hesitated, though Uncle Chen's words sounded very serious and his tone was normal. But he still felt like a eunuch was asking the emperor which concubine he planned to favor that night!
You mustn't say that out loud, or Brother Gossip will probably...

Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang through the rearview mirror.

Eyes facing each other.

Lu Mingfei was startled and was about to look away when he heard Chu Zihang take the initiative to ask a question.

"How are you going to face your 'fiancée'?"

Uncle Chen, who was driving in the front seat, suddenly felt refreshed. The slight fatigue and weakness he had been feeling due to the emptiness in his body were completely dispelled.

What did he hear?
fiancée??!
He originally only knew that Chu Zihang cared about Lu Mingfei's gossip, so he deliberately shifted the focus, but he didn't expect it to actually trigger a huge bombshell!
"Young Master Lu actually has a fiancée? It doesn't sound like the two I met before. So he's not two-timing, but rather three people linked together? I never expected this!"

Uncle Chen's driving was not affected in the slightest, and he enjoyed eating melons with great relish and natural ease.

He knew that Chu Zihang had asked this question in the car, so he must have thought about it and specifically wanted him to know.

After all, picking up and dropping off Lu Mingfei would be Uncle Chen's long-term task. If he wasn't sure what to do, he might accidentally say something he shouldn't, which would be bad.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei let out a wail in his heart. He knew it! Senior Brother Chu would never let go of such a delicacy. It was like a monkey seeing a peach; how could it possibly resist?
However, he also knew that this was unavoidable and would have to be resolved sooner or later.

If I say it directly now, my senior can help me make a decision.

"I haven't decided yet."

Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Although it was my mom who made the decision, and I don't dislike her... I still feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"It might have been too rushed," Chu Zihang said.

"maybe."

The Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG smoothly drove out of the shadows, its shimmering light drawing Lu Mingfei's gaze to the outside of the car window.

As dusk falls, the fading sunlight, no longer glaring, filters through the gaps between buildings. The distant mountain ridgeline half-encircles it, and the dark red fireball seems to melt away, its edges gradually blurring into a misty orange-yellow.

Lu Mingfei stared blankly, thinking that his mother might be somewhere in the world, watching the rising sun, thinking of her son whom she hadn't seen for many years, and that pretty girl who was very pleasing to the eye and easy to talk to.

"Let's just... live together for now. It's just a shared apartment, not like we're sharing a room."

he murmured.

"We'll talk about the rest later."

Chu Zihang remained silent. What he really wanted to ask was what Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang were planning to do... But that's what made him so gossipy yet not annoying. He could control himself and was clear about the situation, so he would never ask questions he shouldn't.

……

After dinner, Chu Zihang went home first, while Lu Mingfei was brought to the music store by Uncle Chen.

"Aunt Shanshan, what am I supposed to practice tonight? Where's Liu Miaomiao? Didn't she come today?"

Lu Mingfei asked Aunt Shanshan, who was leading the way, with curiosity.

For some reason, Aunt Shanshan changed the teaching location this time. It wasn't the same practice room as before, but a different room that he had never been to before.

"What's the rush? You'll see soon enough. As for tonight, you're in for a treat. Auntie's going to teach you something special."

Aunt Shanshan said with a light laugh.

"Mingfei, have you ever heard of four-handed piano duet?"
