Chapter 117 Caesar: The sky has fallen! (5k)

"what's up?"

Lu Mingfei raised his head, looking slightly bewildered.

Nuwa sensed something terrifying, grabbed a handful of change and keys from the entryway, and rushed out the door. Yesterday, Su Xiaoqiang had shown her the way to the small supermarket near the entrance—to buy snacks.

Click——

The door closed, and the faint sound of the elevator descending could be heard outside.

Nuwa ran faster than a rabbit.

"wait a second."

Su Xiaoqiang didn't rush to speak. Instead, she took the mop back to the bathroom to wring it dry, washed her hands carefully, dried them, and then slowly came out.

Watching the girl's unhurried movements, Lu Mingfei felt a chill run down his spine for no reason.

"How about you try the ice cream? It's alright."

Lu Mingfei awkwardly pointed to the insulated bag on the coffee table, which contained ice cream from the amusement park's dessert station.

He thought the taste was pretty good, so he bought a few more to bring back to Su Xiaoqiang.

"Ah."

Su Xiaoqiang gave a soft "hmm," walked to the coffee table, gently opened the plastic bag, took out a box of ice cream, tore it open, and used a wooden spoon to scoop out a little and put it in her mouth.

"It's a little bit melted..."

Lu Mingfei said softly, a sense of panic rising in his heart, feeling even more nervous than when he was sitting face to face with Angers earlier.

"delicious."

Su Xiaoqiang shook her head, picked up a little more, and silently put it into her mouth.

She ate her ice cream quietly, without chewing or biting, simply waiting for the cream to melt in her mouth, turning into thin liquid, before swallowing.

Lu Mingfei also swallowed hard... He felt a surge of fear.

The little fairy didn't eat ice cream like this before.

In the first few years, in his eyes Su Xiaoqiang was actually a tomboy. Although she was beautiful, she had a fiery temper and did everything in a hurry. She had the brotherhood of the Liangshan heroes. Lu Mingfei could never imagine which unlucky guy would marry her and become her sworn brother.
Now Lu Mingfei has become the unlucky guy he once thought he was, but he doesn't feel unlucky at all.

As the two got together, Su Xiaoqiang showed more and more of her 'girl' side in front of him. She would be shy, blush, act coquettishly, be gentle, and sometimes be very cute.

But Lu Mingfei knew that Su Xiaoqiang was still the proud little fairy she used to be. She wouldn't change anything because of others. Occasionally she would act coquettishly towards him, but that was only because she liked him. She was willing to show him her softer side, which was something she had always possessed.

After she's finished being affectionate, she still has her own little temper, acting boldly and playfully, and doing things decisively without any hesitation.

This is also the biggest difference between her and others.

But now... what's going on?

Lu Mingfei also sensed the impending storm that Nuwa immediately detected.

The next second, countless raindrops pounded into Lu Mingfei's heart.

"Sister Nuwa likes you." Su Xiaoqiang put down the wooden spoon in her hand and looked calmly at Lu Mingfei.

"Ah... uh."

Lu Mingfei was startled and subconsciously scratched his head.

However, he was not given any chance to catch his breath.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiaoqiang casually dropped another weighty remark.

"You also like Sister Nuwa."

hiss--

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei's heart stopped abruptly, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Do you deny it?"

Su Xiaoqiang asked again, her beautiful eyes revealing no emotion, only a calm and indifferent gaze fixed on Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei silently clenched the hem of his clothes, feeling a sense of panic as if he had been dissected and seen through.

Sure enough... he was too naive. He was originally thinking of slowly planning and laying the groundwork, and then finding a golden opportunity to finally confront Su Xiaoqiang. But he never expected that the little fairy was never a naive girl. She had already noticed the clues and now she took the initiative to attack him.

Then.

Deny...?

Lu Mingfei let out a long breath, shook his head with difficulty but firmness. He had said he wouldn't lie to her, and besides, denying it would be disrespectful to the other girl, who had clearly already given so much.

"Hmm, it's fairly spacious." Su Xiaoqiang nodded. "You two should get together."

"then you……"

Lu Mingfei's heart tightened again.

Su Xiaoqiang's lips seemed to curl into a smile, which gradually turned into indifference. "Do you remember something you said today?"

"what?"

“You said… you and them are no longer from the same world,” Su Xiaoqiang said. “But after thinking about it carefully, I think I’m actually the same.”

“You and Sister Nuwa are both mixed-race, like superheroes, and even have superpowers, but I am just an ordinary girl, and there is no need for me to force myself into this circle.”

Su Xiaoqiang's voice grew increasingly calm, but her words sent chills down Lu Mingfei's spine.

"How...how could that be?" Lu Mingfei said with difficulty, his voice becoming somewhat stuttering: "You...are different from them."

"Same as Lu Mingfei."

Su Xiaoqiang shook her head and addressed him by his full name to show her respect. "I'm no different from them. I'm just an ordinary person and can't help you much. I know we're in danger today, but I don't want to ask what it is because I don't understand it either."

"But I know that if I encounter a similar situation next time, I will still have to run away with my head down, otherwise I will only stay behind and drag you down, just like those idiotic female protagonists in movies. But Sister Nuwa is different, she..."

"not like this!"

Lu Mingfei took a step closer and interrupted her.

Only when he got closer did Lu Mingfei vaguely notice the trembling hidden beneath the girl's calm exterior, and the sobs suppressed deep in her throat.

When Su Xiaoqiang said these words, he was far from being as nonchalant as he appeared.

After realizing her powerlessness, she was also tormented inside, but on the surface, she had to put on a calm and composed appearance to avoid putting extra pressure on the boy. She was a good girl, which is why she had to endure more... Do all good girls in the world get a good ending?
"Lu, Mingfei, we..."

Su Xiaoqiang was about to grit her teeth and say the last sentence—

But Lu Mingfei covered her mouth with his burning palm.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head slightly, "What do you think is the essence of being together?"

Looking at her up close, he could clearly see every detail of Su Xiaoqiang's beautiful face, and thus he could also see the faint mist in her eyes.

"Woo——"

Su Xiaoqiang let out a low sob, struggling but unable to break free from Lu Mingfei's grasp.

Lu Mingfei didn't give her a chance to answer, and just said to himself, "I think the essence of being together is not just about having fun, eating, and traveling together on weekends. These are just side things."

"Supporting each other in life and becoming each other's strength, that's the essence of being together. It's about those times when you're not together, those difficult times in life, when just thinking of each other gives you the courage to move forward... That's what being together means, do you understand?"

Su Xiaoqiang's struggles gradually ceased.

Lu Mingfei continued, "Actually, the days of slaying dragons are really tough. For the first few months, I had to complete a lot of training every day, but when I got tired of everything, I would think of you, and I would think of you existing somewhere in this world. Then I would be willing to endure anything. Your existence is really important."

"You're the one who pulled me out of the water, you can't abandon me for such a ridiculous reason... Su Xiaoqiang, I'm asking you a question now, do you still like me?"

Lu Mingfei called Su Xiaoqiang by her given name again, instead of using that affectionate nickname.

He could accept that Su Xiaoqiang thought he was bad, that he was a womanizer, and even that her feelings for him would fade and she would feel annoyed and break up with him, but he absolutely could not accept this kind of weak, escapist reason.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei's eyes were full of seriousness, yet also faintly mixed with a hint of anger.

"This is a very important question. I'm not lying to you, so please don't lie to me either."

He gently parted his fingers, giving Su Xiaoqiang room to speak.

Su Xiaoqiang's lips unconsciously parted slightly, exhaling warm, moist breath. Her eyes were already misty, and her cheeks flushed from the caress of that rough hand. Her heart was also flustered by that gaze.

Over time.

A cool tear rolled down her cheek.

"I...I like it."

Years of companionship culminated in this sudden explosion, which made her truly understand herself. Now that the boy is improving at a visible pace, how could she be willing to give up so easily at such a crucial moment?

now,

In the end, she chose to follow her heart.

Rather than rational.

"I like you too."

then.

The boy responded to her feelings with the most passionate declaration of love.

Lu Mingfei stretched out his arms and pulled the girl tightly into his embrace, giving her no room to react or any chance to recover.

Su Xiaoqiang's mind went completely blank for a moment.

Faced with Lu Mingfei's embrace, she was powerless to resist, nor did she want to resist.

This is her most genuine emotion!

You can fool everyone in the world with your stubbornness, but can you fool yourself?

She was the one who came first and was willing to step aside for the sake of the other person's future, but the other person was not willing; he also deeply loved her.

So what should we do?

Su Xiaoqiang closed her eyes, and between her long eyelashes, strands of water still seeped out, like sweet spring water.

The living room of the Peacock Mansion was quiet, except for the two bodies pressed tightly together. They felt each other's breath, listened to each other's heartbeats, and welcomed the silent transmission of their emotions.

Heart-to-heart communication has replaced thousands of words.

I do not know how long it has been.

A pair of slender arms slowly climbed up the boy's firm back and gently hooked his shoulders.

“Lu Mingfei, what I just said is not null and void.”

Su Xiaoqiang whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear as if blowing air.

"Wha...what?"

"You and Sister Nuwa."

"how about you?"

"Hmph, you'll have to get it."

……

The joys and sorrows of this world are not the same for everyone.

Some people's minds go blank because of joy, while others' minds go blank because of confusion.

Kassel Academy.

A silver-gray Bugatti Veyron was parked in front of the library.

This car was produced by Volkswagen's factory in Molshem, France. It has a 16-cylinder, four-turbocharged engine, 1001 horsepower, a top speed of 407 km/h, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.

The trunk of this top-of-the-line luxury car, a true luxury item, was filled with vibrant roses.

Bulgaria is the world's largest producer of roses, but whether in the eyes of aromatherapists or true rose lovers, the Damask rose is the real treasure.

The superior quality of Damask roses is determined by factors such as latitude, sunlight, temperature, and humidity.

And the young people who own the cars are even more outrageous.

Her golden hair cascaded down, framing a face like a Greek sculpture. Her eyes were a rare ice-blue, and her clothes, though unbranded, exuded an air of extravagance, as if they were from a royal textile workshop.

He was holding a Cohiba, a genuine Cuban cigar.

The young man's eyes darted around, probably waiting for someone in the library.

"Nono!"

His eyes suddenly lit up, he exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, and waved the hand holding the cigar.

A girl in a dark green Kassel school uniform stepped out of the library, her long, dark red hair flowing smoothly, and her four-leaf clover earrings reflecting a faint light.

It was Nono who had just finished dealing with domestic matters a couple of days ago and returned to campus.

With the Zhou family's endorsement, her studies were not affected in any way, and since the formal meeting had not yet started, most students at Kassel College did not have particularly well-informed channels.

However, Nono had already prepared herself for the storm.

"Caesar, don't send flowers again next time."

She walked to the Bugatti, her gaze sweeping over the flower-adorned trunk.

He then smiled and stared at the young man's face.

Caesar scratched his head, a hint of helplessness in his expression: "I thought girls always liked flowers. Don't you like them?"

“It’s meaningless,” Nono said. “A flower is already a corpse the moment it’s picked; no matter how beautiful it is, it’s already dead.”

Caesar was shaken.

As a boyfriend, it's normal to give gifts to your beloved girlfriend. Of course, you can't guarantee that she'll be satisfied with every single one. Nono is a little witch, and her thoughts are always the hardest to guess.

In fact, Nuonuo had said similar things before, but he felt that the girl's tone was particularly different this time.

“Alright, I’ll have someone take these flowers to decorate Valhalla later… How about we have dinner together tonight?” Caesar tentatively suggested.

“I made plans with other people,” Nono shook her head.

Is that Susie?

Caesar remembered that Nono and her roommate got along quite well, "Why don't we invite her along?"

"Ah."

Nono twitched the corners of her mouth. Although she knew that Caesar meant that if she owed Susie a favor and needed to treat her to dinner, he could book the entire restaurant for her, and then Susie could eat alone while he and she sat alone at another table for a candlelit date.

This is a pure love type, and the kind that's super rich.

only……

“It’s him.” Nono gestured towards the library entrance.

At that moment, a young man with an expressionless face walked out from inside, carrying a backpack. He was clean and slender, dressed like a student... He was indeed a student, but in a place like Kassel where flashy and frivolous people were everywhere, he stood out with a scholarly air.

"Chu, Chu Zihang?"

Caesar froze, his fingers holding the cigar trembling so violently he almost dropped it, unable to believe his eyes.

He looked at Nono with a horrified expression, "Why him?"

Is this reasonable?

As the student council president, he and Chu Zihang, the president of the Lionheart Club, have always been sworn enemies. The meaning of sworn enemy is that I will be happy as long as you are not doing well.

Ever since the Chinese boy, who was a year below him, enrolled, the two have been competing with each other constantly. Even the proud Caesar's first words upon entering the school were, "You can challenge me, but I'm ready to laugh at you!"

It must be admitted that Chu Zihang is qualified to be his nemesis!

But what kind of tactic is this... poaching talent? How could Chu Zihang, this cold and aloof guy, actually have this trick up his sleeve?
Caesar inexplicably felt as if he had been shot in the knee.

Noticing that the Pure Love Warrior was about to collapse,
Nono eventually softened a little.

However, she hasn't figured out yet how she should get along with Caesar in the future.

"Caesar, let's calm down for a while," Nono sighed and explained softly. "I've run into some things, can you wait for me to figure them out?"

Break up...?
Caesar's mind went completely blank, and he froze on the spot.

But Nuonuo didn't look at him again. She left the sports car without turning her head and walked towards Chu Zihang.

"Let's go."

"Okay, just grab something to eat. I still have some information to look up tonight."

Chu Zihang nodded slightly to her, without much expression.

Actually, he didn't have any particular feelings about Caesar's love affair.

I just think...

The helper that my junior brother arranged was indeed quite useful.

It can help him with many things.

……

Seaside, Peacock Mansion.

The three of them continued living together.

That terrifying layer of paper has now been torn down, by Su Xiaoqiang himself.

Su Xiaoqiang was a master of directness. After she confronted Lu Mingfei, she waited for Nuwa to sneak back with her little head before confronting her again.

Although Nuwa felt guilty, she didn't try to hide it.

If you like someone, you like them. Be open and honest about it. There's nothing you can't say. Just agree on the spot.

Lu Mingfei wiped his sweat on the side, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that Su Xiaoqiang asked now. If she had asked as soon as they got off the plane, a chaotic scene would have started right there, and a bomb might have blown him to pieces.

However, the groundwork laid was ultimately useful.

Now that all three are playing straightforwardly, this chaotic situation can no longer exist.

And so Lu Mingfei finally got what he had been waiting for...

Well, it's completely different from what he expected!

Although the relationship between the three was out in the open, his life did not improve at all!
On the contrary, their quality of life has declined significantly.

Just like that day, sleeping in one bed with three people was out of the question.

Even physical contact was strictly controlled.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

Back then, at least I could openly take advantage of Su Xiaoqiang, but now I almost got kicked away as soon as I got close to her.

Not to mention Nuwa, she was completely unwilling to get close to Su Xiaoqiang.

They call it 'shyness'.

Who was it that insisted on having a sticker back then?

Damn it.

The only encouraging thing is that the two women's cooking skills are steadily improving.

—At least they know how to search for information online.

He will no longer pull out such a mysterious thing as "hot dry noodles with fermented soybean paste" for Lu Mingfei to eat.

Finally, as the days went by...
