Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Everything was so perfect. Except for a few parts that didn't hold up well enough, which was a little disappointing.

"Hey! It's not that I can't show it to my senior brother! But could you please be a little more polite with your gaze?!"

Noticing Lu Mingfei's slightly regretful gaze, Xia Mi suddenly took a step back warily, covering her chest with her hand.

Actually, Xia Mi's appearance is absolutely amazing and incredibly cute. As a junior sister, she is so soft and adorable that she is beyond reproach. If there were a contest for the most beautiful junior sister in the world, Xia Mi would undoubtedly be number one.

However, once she remembered Xia Mi's true identity...

"Is this also a form of seduction? But this kind of seduction won't work."

"Pah, pah, pah, stop being so narcissistic! Who has time to seduce you every day? I'm seriously involved in club activities. The city competition is coming up soon, and you need to bring glory to the school, don't you understand?"

As Xia Mi spoke, she pointed to the sign on the door of the cheerleading activity room.

"But you, senior brother, are sneaking around the door, what mischief are you up to!"

“Senior brother is a decent person, don’t frame him,” Lu Mingfei said.

"If you were a decent person, there would be no bad men in the world."

Xia Mi stuck out her tongue. "You know best what kind of bad things you were thinking just now, Senior Brother. You practically had the word 'greasy' written all over your face."

Just now?

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, and realized that he had just been imagining Liu Miaomiao in a cheerleader outfit.

Just as Lu Mingfei was reminiscing, Xia Mi quietly walked to the door with her hands behind her back, tiptoed, and glanced into the activity room.

"Oh~ so you came to accompany Senior Sister Liu Miaomiao. I thought you came here specifically for this purpose, Senior Brother—"

Xia Mi paused, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Why did you come here on purpose?"

Xia Mi first put on a mysterious expression, then smiled brightly:

"—I came here specifically to spy on the cheerleaders' training."

For some reason, Lu Mingfei felt that Xia Mi didn't actually mean to say those words.

Before he could react, Xia Mi suddenly tiptoed and danced like a swan, walking right up to him.

“Although my senior brother didn’t come here specifically to spy, he must have seen the training inside from the doorway, so he should be punished.”

"Punishment?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Punishment for what?"

Xia Mi's clear eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly, without warning, she tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve:

"As punishment, Senior Brother, you'll have to accompany me for a walk."

Although they were only holding each other's sleeves, there were a few moments when Xia Mi's fingertips briefly touched Lu Mingfei's fingers.

Her skin was smooth, and her fingers were slender and cold, as if they had no warmth at all.

Before Lu Mingfei could react, he had already walked several meters away with Xia Mi.

"Wait, I still need to wait for Liu Miaomiao at the door. If she doesn't see me when she comes out, then there will be a big problem."

"What problem could there be? She's not your girlfriend yet, is she?" Xia Mi said without turning her head.

Lu Mingfei was speechless for a moment. It seemed to be true.

"Don't worry, Liu Miaomiao won't be out for a while. We'll just wander around the neighborhood and get some fresh air before we come back."

"How did you know?"

Xia Mi suddenly turned around, staring intently into Lu Mingfei's eyes, then tilted her head and smiled.

"How silly of you, senior. Don't forget, your girl also bears my mark~"

……

I've finally paid off all my debts! Goodnight!

Chapter 99 Xia Mi's Secret Base

To be honest, when Lu Mingfei attended Shilan Middle School in his previous life, he never really spent much time in the gymnasium. He would only come in with the group every year for the physical fitness test.

This stadium, which looks quite imposing from the outside, is actually much larger than you might have imagined when you're running inside it.

Xia Mi pulled him along as they ran through the gymnasium corridor in the evening, their long hair flying in the sunlight.

They passed basketball courts, ice hockey arenas, track and field stadiums, countless rooms, and winding cement staircases. When the light began to dim and there was nowhere left to go, a not-so-old but slightly corroded iron door finally appeared at the end of the last floor of the corridor.

It seems they've been waiting here all along, anticipating their arrival.

"Where is this?" Lu Mingfei asked, stopping in front of the door.

The run he had just completed hadn't left him breathless, but his breathing was still a little erratic.

"We just used the support staff's passage, right?"

"This is my secret base, which I discovered by chance when I was wandering around aimlessly out of boredom."

Xia Mi smiled smugly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

"By the way, senior, you're the first boy to visit my secret base!"

"Then I'd be honored."

"Yes, yes, you should be very grateful to your junior sister."

Lu Mingfei looked up at the door.

What's behind that?

He tried pushing it; the door was heavy, probably made of stainless steel or some other corrosion-resistant alloy. The lock could be opened from the inside, but it was deadbolted, the lock body firmly locked inside.

Doors installed on the upper floors of stadiums often have to take many security-related issues into account, so they are usually made thick and complex.

"Students are usually not allowed in places like this, right? Do you have a key?"

"This kind of thing doesn't need a key, senior brother, please make room for me."

Lu Mingfei moved to the side, and Xia Mi sneaked over, holding the lock nose with one hand and pressing her slender white index finger on the lock cylinder with the other.

With a gentle turn of her finger, a "click" was heard as the lock retracted from the door lock.

The method was so skillful that even Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Then, he belatedly realized that the cute and adorable junior sister in front of him was actually Jormungandr, the king of earth and mountains who held power among the four monarchs.

She could easily find the perfect "hole" to destroy even the roller coaster tracks at Six Flags amusement park, and opening a lock without leaving a trace was a piece of cake for her.

"Impressive, right? Lock-picking skills! If you want to learn, I can teach you at a cheap price, guaranteed to teach you until you learn, no deception!" Xia Mi said, patting his chest with great enthusiasm.

"No way, what's the use of learning this skill? To become a little female thief like you?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Senior brother, you're a man, so you can't be a little female thief. You can only be an old male thief."

Xia Mi raised her face, her expression defiant and haughty.

"And this skill is really useful, isn't it? Once you learn it, you can go anywhere without a key, whether it's Liu Miaomiao's house or Su Xiaoqiang's house. Romeo and Juliet had to be separated by a rooftop to meet in secret, but you two can meet in your room directly."

"Pah, pah, pah! What are you thinking? Pay attention to your public image, okay? Does what you just said sound like something a 14 or 15-year-old innocent female police officer would say? And who is this Su Xiaoqiang?!"

To be honest, Lu Mingfei was actually a little tempted for a moment just now—and I mean really only a little! But he knew that the key to this skill wasn't in technique, but in Xia Mi's innate mastery and control of force.

Even if you understand the principle behind this skill, it's useless without her incredible power control.

"What's wrong with saying this? Doesn't Senior Brother know there's an old Chinese saying that dragons are inherently lustful?"

Xia Mi shrugged indifferently, then turned her head and leaned against the iron door, as if she wanted to use all her strength to push the door open.

The stark contrast between her petite figure and the heavy gate made Lu Mingfei feel an irresistible urge to go up and lend a hand.

But before he could reach out, with a clang, the metal bearing made a weary spinning sound, and the setting sun rushed towards him through the dust.

This was clearly a small terrace or similar area used for inspecting the exterior walls. It was surrounded by cast iron railings, and was only a few meters wide and wide, allowing only five or six people to stand at the same time.

The old teaching building is to the side and in front, and the new building is further ahead. The terrace is not blocked by the teaching buildings, and the view can be seen along the straight tree-lined path all the way to the Shilan Middle School flag at the school gate in the distance.

Lu Mingfei never imagined that the stadium would have such a view. The wind was blowing, moist and refreshing, as if it wanted to blow away the summer heat and the slowly setting sun.

Xia Mi turned around and brushed her hair behind her ears in the wind.

"How about it, senior brother? This place is nice, isn't it? I often come here to enjoy the breeze after cheerleading practice."

As she spoke, she squatted down, reached out and pressed the hem of her skirt behind her thighs, then put her legs through the iron railing and sat down along the edge of the terrace, her small feet in stockings dangling in the air as if she were playing in the water.

"Senior brother, please sit down too, don't be shy!" She patted the empty space next to her. "Or are you scared, senior brother?"

Lu Mingfei was neither restrained nor afraid.

He also had a similar secret territory, on the rooftop of his aunt's house. The stairs leading to the rooftop were piled with junk thrown away by the residents of that house, and there was an old iron gate with large gaps at the entrance to the rooftop.

He often squeezed through the gaps to sit on the edge of the rooftop, enjoying the wind and light, looking at the view of the steel forest, and smelling the different scents of the city in each season, all of which were seasonal flowers.

"Won't it get dirty sitting like this?"

Although Lu Mingfei said this, he still imitated Xia Mi's actions, sat down close to the edge, and stretched his legs out through the gaps in the iron railing.

Xia Mi rested her chin on her hand, turned to look at him, and showed an expression of admiration in her eyes.

The feeling of dangling your legs is strange, both dangerous and light. The view from when you're sitting down is lower and more unique than when you're standing. Because the view from higher up is blocked by the old teaching building in front of you, you unconsciously look down.

Below the terrace was a lawn, and a little further ahead, students from Shilan Middle School were walking in twos and threes along the tree-lined path, presumably having just finished their club activities and heading home.

Xia Mi's feet seemed very small. When her legs swung, the tops of her white shoes swayed loosely at her heels, rising and falling, making Lu Mingfei feel nervous, as if they might fall off at any moment.

"Do you just sit here when you have nothing to do?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"What do you mean 'when there's nothing to do'? Don't think of me as lazy, okay? I can work at a high intensity 24 hours a day!"

Lu Mingfei scoffed, "What kind of work can you do sitting here?"

Xia Mi blurted out naturally, "To observe you."

If any pretty girl says she observes you when she has nothing to do, there's a high chance she's interested in you.

However, this formula doesn't work on Xia Mi. She's not like other pretty girls. When she talks about observation, she probably really means observation itself.

"Senior brother, have you forgotten? Back in Nibelungen, you sold yourself to me like a guinea pig, and that's why I let you and Liu Miaomiao go. So of course I have to exercise my rights as your master and keep an eye on your movements at all times."

Lu Mingfei curled his lip, "That sounds terrifying."

"Then think about it from a different perspective. Imagine a beautiful girl who secretly loves you, her senior brother, waiting every day in a place where she can see you, waiting for you to turn around at some point so that your eyes can briefly meet in the air."
