Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

"Ah!" Su Xiaoqiang covered her cheek where half of her face had been pinched, and tears almost welled up in her eyes from the pain.

"I've tried it, it is indeed very thin." Lu Mingfei nodded seriously.

Su Xiaoqiang's anger instantly reached its peak. She grabbed a cushion from the sofa, bared her teeth, and pounced on the boy next to her, yelling, "Lu Mingfei, I'll kill you!"

Lu Mingfei easily dodged it and then ran away.

With a cushion in each hand, Su Xiaoqiang chased after Lu Mingfei with fierce speed, as if Qin Qiong, wielding double maces, had been reincarnated from a storybook.

Unfortunately, momentum doesn't equal strength. No matter how hard Su Xiaoqiang tried, he couldn't catch up with Lu Mingfei. After a long period of playful fighting, he stopped in a corner of the living room, one hand on his hip, panting and glaring at Lu Mingfei.

But he found that Lu Mingfei, who had just been teasing him, was now standing not far away, his eyes darting around and avoiding him, as if he felt guilty and was afraid to face him.

"What? Feeling guilty? If you apologize now, I might consider forgiving you," Su Xiaoqiang said, catching her breath.

“No,” Lu Mingfei shook his head, then turned his head, forcibly turning his gaze away from Su Xiaoqiang, and pointed at her body, “Little Fairy, why don’t you… straighten your clothes first, and then we can continue?”

clothing?

Su Xiaoqiang looked down, and the sight before her made her realize—she was still wearing Lu Mingfei's clothes, which were too loose for her and were a robe without buttons or any other secure fastening. So, with even a little bit of vigorous movement, it was easy for her to end up like this…

"what--"

Su Xiaoqiang's scream pierced Lu Mingfei's eardrums.

Turning his gaze away, Lu Mingfei, whose ears were being tortured, subconsciously had a thought flash through his mind—so the Little Fairy's regular exercise was so effective, she even had abs!

……

After a while.

Su Xiaoqiang wrapped herself up tightly in Lu Mingfei's only two pajamas, and sat on the sofa, puffing out her cheeks. The two layers of pajamas made her look rather bloated, as if she had swelled up from anger.

Lu Mingfei sat awkwardly in the corner of the sofa, trying to stay as far away from Su Xiaoqiang as possible.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang suppressed her anger, turned her head, smiled at Lu Mingfei, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Why are you so far away? Come here and sit closer. I'm not going to eat you."

Lu Mingfei was startled. On that gentle and beautiful face, which resembled the Virgin Mary or Guanyin, he saw a ferocious demon-like expression. He hurriedly shook his head frantically, "No, no, it's comfortable sitting here."

Su Xiaoqiang's expression softened, and her tone was gentle and melodious, as if she were speaking to her beloved lover, but the pronunciation of the words was as if they were being bitten out between her teeth: "Come here."

Lu Mingfei quickly stepped forward.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you. After all, it was my own mistake to shake the clothes open." Su Xiaoqiang smiled and stared at Lu Mingfei.

"The little fairy is so understanding and magnanimous!" Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flattered her.

“But you can’t keep that memory,” Su Xiaoqiang’s smile gradually crumbled. “Do you have any hammers, mallets, rolling pins, or baseball bats at home? Or anything similar that can knock someone out with a light tap on the head and leave them with a period of amnesia when they wake up?”

"Is it possible that he will never wake up?" Lu Mingfei said, trembling.

"Don't worry, I'll try to be gentle, but accidents are inevitable, so please bear with me," Su Xiaoqiang said, looking at Lu Mingfei as if he were sizing up a fish about to be cooked. "After all, this is my first time doing something like this."

Lu Mingfei turned and ran.

Su Xiaoqiang, clutching her clothes with one hand, chased after Lu Mingfei like a beast unleashed from its cage.

……

In the end, Lu Mingfei managed to save his life, on the condition that Su Xiaoqiang would stay at his house.

In fact, Lu Mingfei originally wanted to book a luxury hotel room for Su Xiaoqiang. Although he had only received one dividend because he had just become a shareholder of the Su Group, he still had the money to book a hotel room long-term.

It's not that he's disloyal or looks down on Xiaotiannv. When he ran away from home, it was Xiaotiannv who helped him out of loyalty. Now that the situation has reversed, he will definitely do his best to help Xiaotiannv if she is in trouble.

The problem is that they are a young man and a young woman, one just turned 18 and the other almost 18. It seems that living together is not a good thing, especially if the young woman's parents find out, wouldn't it be very awkward?

As for whether he would be able to control himself while living with a beautiful young woman, that was a minor issue. Lu Mingfei was quite confident in his self-control—Tony had spent countless efforts to prevent him from falling into depravity in that area, and Lu Mingfei himself admired his willpower!

Of course, the most important issue is that he disappears for 24 hours every time he goes to another world. It's fine if no one is home, since he's a shut-in and usually stays at home studying various subjects. His relaxation activities include playing games, eating snacks, and reading comics. It's common for him to stay at home, so no one would suspect anything if they saw him go out.

But the arrival of a little celestial maiden in the house is a problem; if he disappears again without explanation, it will definitely attract attention.

So he didn't really want the little fairy to stay here, but now he had no choice but to agree, since he was in the wrong.

Fortunately, it will take him several months to fully recover his transmigration power. The little fairy's running away from home should only be a temporary tantrum with her family. It shouldn't be a matter of running away from home for several months. At worst, he can mediate and make peace between the two sides after a while when their anger subsides.

I just don't know why Little Fairy was arguing with her family.

Because it might infringe on someone's privacy, Lu Mingfei deliberately didn't ask Su Xiaoqiang why she had argued with her family.

But to be honest, he was actually quite curious about it.

Chapter 117: Living with the Little Celestial Maiden, and Heading to...

noon the next day.

Lu Mingfei finished washing up in the bedroom and came out with wet hair—he was too lazy to use a hairdryer.

After their playful fight last night, he called a restaurant that was open late at night and paid extra to have them deliver the food. After eating with Su Xiaoqiang, he tidied up her bedroom on the second floor, took out spare bedding, and they went to sleep separately.

Therefore, he slept until noon today.

As soon as Lu Mingfei pushed open the door and stepped out, he smelled a faint aroma of food—but at the same time, he also keenly noticed that the aroma of food was mixed with a slight burnt smell.

Could it be that the little fairy herself cooked the meal?

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat—if you were to say that the little fairy was talented, beautiful, and clever, he would definitely agree wholeheartedly, but if you were to say that this lady could cook... he would rather believe that Zhang Fei was a master of embroidery of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

When he reluctantly walked into the living room, he saw Su Xiaoqiang wearing an apron she had bought from somewhere, a chef's hat, arms crossed, and a spatula in one hand, standing by the dining table looking at him smugly, like a pretty cook.

On the dining table were a rice cooker, two bowls, and five or six plates, each covered with another plate to keep it warm, so you couldn't see what was on the plates.

But in his daze, Lu Mingfei could already see chunks of black charcoal inside, emanating an ominous aura that beckoned to him.

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard, then looked at Su Xiaoqiang tremblingly: "Little Heavenly Maiden, this...you did all of this?"

"Hmph? What else?" Su Xiaoqiang said arrogantly. "I got up early today to buy ingredients at the supermarket and made this. Aren't you going to come and thank me?"

"Um... I just woke up and I'm not very hungry yet," Lu Mingfei said, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He turned and walked stiffly back. "Little Fairy, you eat first. I'm going back to take a nap!"

He planned to sneak out of the bedroom window, eat outside, and then come back.

"Wait!" Su Xiaoqiang shouted, narrowing her eyes as she stared at Lu Mingfei, her murderous aura radiating. "Do you think I can't cook, and that my cooking is terrible, so you're trying to sneak away and eat outside through the window?"

"Holy crap! Are you a mind reader?!" Lu Mingfei turned around, his face filled with horror. "Or can you read minds?!"

"Hmph, I know exactly what you're up to!"

Su Xiaoqiang gave a soft snort, placed the spatula on the bowl, and then lifted the plate covering the food.

Lu Mingfei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets—the plate didn't contain the twisted, grotesque pieces of charcoal he had imagined, but rather something with an appealing color, a fragrant aroma, and that looked quite delicious.

To put it simply, it's at the level of a high-end restaurant.

As Su Xiaoqiang lifted the last plate, Lu Mingfei's gaze towards her seemed to be tinged with a hint of reverence.

"How was it?" Su Xiaoqiang took off her apron, clapped her hands, and looked down at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, and gave Su Xiaoqiang a thumbs up as he chewed. After swallowing, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Master chef level! Little Fairy, I never expected your cooking skills to be so good. Whoever marries you will definitely gain thirty pounds!"

Su Xiaoqiang chuckled and rolled her eyes: "Just kidding, you really think I'd cook for you?"

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“I only brought one set of clothes with me when I came. After washing and drying the wet clothes yesterday, I went to the mall and bought a few new sets of clothes. These vegetables were bought on my way back from buying clothes,” Su Xiaoqiang pointed at Lu Mingfei with his nostrils and mocked him. “The apron and shovel were also bought from the mall. I just wanted to tease you, but I didn’t expect you to actually believe me.”

"Tch, I thought you actually knew how to cook." Lu Mingfei looked disappointed.

"Hmph, you want me to cook for you? Never in this lifetime! Not even if you beg me!" Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes. "You should be grateful that I'm willing to buy you food."

"Yes, yes, I will never forget Miss Su's great kindness," Lu Mingfei was a little hungry and didn't want to argue with Su Xiaoqiang right now; he just wanted to eat. "I'll go to the kitchen and get an iced Coke. Do you want one?"

"Wait!" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly said, "You eat first, I'll put the spatula and apron in the kitchen, and get you a Coke while I'm at it."

Lu Mingfei naturally wouldn't refuse someone running errands, and quickly nodded, "Thank you, Little Heavenly Maiden!"

Su Xiaoqiang quickly walked into the kitchen with a spatula in hand and closed the door behind her.

Walking to the stove, hanging up the spatula, Su Xiaoqiang glanced down at the indescribable burnt contents in the trash can and the dirty apron crumpled up in a ball, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it wasn't discovered."

After putting away the shovel and apron, Su Xiaoqiang tied the black garbage bag in the bin tightly, muttering to herself, "I never thought cooking would be so difficult..."

……

After much hesitation, Lu Mingfei decided to turn herself in – telling Su Xiaoqiang’s parents that she lived in her house.

It's not that he's disloyal; the key point is that Su Xiaoqiang isn't staying in a hotel, but in his home.

If he doesn't turn himself in to Su Xiaoqiang's parents, the nature of the matter will change once they find out.

He turned himself in; he was a victim whose house had been seized by Su Xiaoqiang.

But if he is caught, then he has kept the runaway girl in his home, possibly with malicious intent—if Su Xiaoqiang were not legally an adult, he might be guilty of a serious crime.

So Lu Mingfei ultimately chose loyalty over innocence, asking, "Hey, Uncle Su?"

"Mingfei? Is something wrong?" Su Jiannan's voice sounded somewhat haggard.

"Did Xiaoqiang run away from home?" Lu Mingfei asked knowingly.

"Huh? How did you know?" Su Jiannan was taken aback.

“She’s staying at my house right now, Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll try my best to persuade her to go back soon…” Lu Mingfei spoke very quickly, afraid that Su Jiannan would lose control of his emotions when he mentioned that the little fairy was staying at his house.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he had a daughter one day, and she ran away from home and spent the night at some guy's house, he would want to skin that guy alive.

To his surprise, after a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Su Jiannan's voice sounded much more relaxed: "It's alright, Mingfei. If it's convenient for you, could you let Xiaoqiang stay here for a while? Let the child calm down and think things through. She should come home soon. Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll take her back right away."

No... what do you mean? You mean you want to put your beautiful daughter, who's gorgeous, has long legs, a slim waist, and even abs, in my house?

Do you have some misunderstanding about my gender or sexual orientation?

Lu Mingfei really wanted to ask this question.

He did want to say it was inconvenient and have Su Jiannan take Su Xiaoqiang away, but if that happened and things came to light later, Su Xiaoqiang would definitely point his finger at him and accuse him of being disloyal...

"It's alright, Uncle Su, it's perfectly convenient for me here. I have so many bedrooms, giving one to Little Fairy is no problem at all," Lu Mingfei said against his conscience.

"That's good. Thank you for your help, Mingfei. My family will treat you to dinner another day," Su Jiannan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely go then." Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly. Who doesn't like getting a free meal?

"By the way, Mingfei, are you free next month?" Su Jiannan suddenly asked.
