Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Have I really grown taller? No way!

This is similar to playing a game like Persona, completing the first playthrough and then playing the second. You then discover that you not only brought back the stats from the first playthrough, but the second playthrough also retained the growth potential from the first playthrough.

Originally, the upper limit of the five dimensions was 5, but in your second playthrough, not only were all five dimensions born at 5, but the upper limit of the five dimensions also became 10.

This is a bit outrageous.

"Stand still for now, I'll try again."

As Su Xiaoqiang spoke, she suddenly stood on tiptoe in front of Lu Mingfei, and her already tall figure suddenly became level with Lu Mingfei's.

Su Xiaoqiang gestured with his hand.

"Look, when I stand on my tiptoes I'm definitely more than 180cm tall. You're about the same height as me when I stand on my tiptoes, so you've definitely grown taller!"

As the little fairy spoke, her gaze fell down and met Lu Mingfei's eye level.

The two of them were both taken aback.

"..."

"..."

Originally, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were standing about 20 to 30 centimeters apart.

But because Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stood on tiptoe, the distance was shortened to within fifteen centimeters.

A rather ambiguous distance. Her fluttering eyelashes, her crescent-shaped eyes, the blush on her face... everything about the little fairy's beautiful face was clearly visible to Lu Mingfei.

They were so close that even their breath could gently brush against each other's faces.

"Thump, thump..."

The strange throbbing in her chest came without warning, and Su Xiaoqiang's ankles went weak, almost causing her to lose her balance and fall into Lu Mingfei's arms.

Of course, the idol drama scene she imagined didn't happen. The little fairy immediately realized what was happening, lightly touched the ground with her heels, and took two steps back to create distance.

Lu Mingfei also snapped out of his daze as the distance between the two suddenly increased.

It's unbelievable! The moment his eyes met the little fairy's, he felt a tightness in his chest.

"Alright, alright, let's put an end to the topic of whether we've grown taller or not. Let's get going."

The little fairy, with her hands behind her back, turned around lightly on the spot and spoke to Lu Mingfei from behind.

"where to?"

"I'll go to the CBD area to buy you a suit. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"Buy a suit? You didn't tell me about this."

Lu Mingfei didn't expect the storyline to change so quickly, shifting from a personal story about a little fairy to everyday events.

"And why are you suddenly buying me suits?"

"Are you stupid? The banquet for the Chenglong movie launch is next Saturday. I can't possibly buy you a suit next week, can I? Or are you planning to wear this programmer-style outfit to shake hands with Chenglong and toast all the big shots?"

As the little fairy spoke, she turned and waved to Lu Mingfei, her face still flushed:

"Let's not talk about that now, hurry up and catch up. We might not be able to finish in one afternoon. Let's just find a place to eat lunch."

……

Lu Mingfei originally thought he was going to take a taxi to the CBD, but to his surprise, after leaving the community gate, Su Xiaoqiang's most expensive Audi A8 was waiting for him at the entrance.

Upon seeing the two emerge, the driver, who had been waiting for some time and whose temples were already somewhat gray, immediately bent down and opened the back door for them.

As Lu Mingfei followed Su Xiaoqiang into the back seat, he nodded and greeted the driver with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Li."

Lu Mingfei had already met this man when he bought study materials with Su Xiaoqiang last time, and knew that he was Su Xiaoqiang's driver and housekeeper.

With a roar, the engine started, and the surrounding pedestrians and scenery were instantly overtaken and left behind.

Su Xiaoqiang, with her legs crossed, counted on her fingers as she assigned Lu Mingfei the main tasks for this afternoon:

"First, go to a few high-end suit shops to see if they have any suitable suits. If not, we'll take you to a private suit shop to take your measurements and ask how long it would take to make a suit."

Su Xiaoqiang paused for a moment, then continued, "If none of that works, I'll take out a few of my dad's less-worn suits and have a tailor alter them for you. This is plan C. Don't worry, I'll try my best to buy you new ones if possible..."

"Does it have to be this formal? A custom-made suit must be quite expensive, right? Can't I wear the regular one-size-fits-all suits from the tailor shop?"

"What do you say?"

The little fairy rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei, "You're not playing the role of anyone else, but my Su Xiaoqiang's... shield! If you wear an ill-fitting suit to shake hands with celebrities, it will be my family's loss of face."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and agreed. It would indeed be inappropriate to wear loose-fitting clothes to such a formal occasion.

In his past life, when he was the backdrop for Zhao Menghua's confession, he was wearing that ill-fitting Armani outfit, but he didn't think anything of it at the time.

It wasn't until he joined Kassel College and got used to wearing suits tailored to him by top British and Italian designers that he realized how pathetic the person in the mirror looked when he put on that ill-fitting Armani suit again one day.

If he were Chen Wenwen, he wouldn't have accepted the confession from the person in the mirror.

But then again, it seems that my first proper suit in both my lives was bought for me by women.

In her past life, she was Nuonuo; in this life, she's Su Xiaoqiang. Both are incredibly beautiful women who are both rich and stunning.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm a kept man?

……

There will be another chapter in the early morning.

Chapter 112 Lu Mingfei's Professionalism!

Ocean Classic Mall, located in the heart of the CBD.

Lu Mingfei and Xiao Tiannv rode the transparent sightseeing elevator straight up.

In fact, Lu Mingfei has always felt that the layout of his hometown's CBD is very similar to that of Lujiazui in Shanghai. Both are built along the river, with clusters of modern steel forests rising from the uneven terrain.

Across the river is an old town area with Western-style buildings, which were where foreigners lived before the Republic of China era. To put it bluntly, it was the old concession area.

The new and the old stand facing each other across the river.

Ocean Classic Mall isn't a particularly tall building in the heart of the CBD, but its location is excellent. Once the sightseeing elevator takes you to a certain height, you can see over the riverside forest and take in the entire river and the historic former concession area along its banks.

This was a view that Lu Mingfei had never seen in his previous life.

In fact, he rarely visited Ocean Classic Mall in his previous life. He only vaguely knew that there was such a place in the city through his classmates' boasting. It was quite high-end and full of luxury brands from all over the world. Even the best Baleno outfit in his wardrobe couldn't rent a shop there.

It wasn't until he was reborn that Lu Mingfei realized what the view was like from the top floor of Ocean Classic Mall.

So that's all there is to it.

Su Xiaoqiang, of course, had no idea that Lu Mingfei was once again suffering from the same artsy slump he'd picked up from Chen Wenwen in his past life in the literary society. She grabbed Lu Mingfei's sleeve and pulled him into the mall.

"Start by trying Armani on the fourth floor, then go down to Hugo Boss and Aolama on the third floor, and Ralph Lauren on the second floor, and see if there's anything suitable."

Su Xiaoqiang walked ahead with an imposing air, rattling off a list of suit brands as if reciting a menu.

However, the young lady skipped brands like Zegna and Louis Vuitton, mainly because these top luxury brands are too expensive; a suit costs at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

It wasn't that she was stingy and unwilling to spend the money on Lu Mingfei; it was mainly that the princess's family was short of funds. Ever since she had been arguing with her father more and more frequently in recent months, her monthly allowance had been decreasing.

The reason I can still afford to spend money now is mainly because I bought lottery tickets with Lu Mingfei during the summer vacation and made a small fortune.

Armani is the brand that Lu Mingfei is most familiar with. His first suit was an Armani, and that ill-fitting suit witnessed the most tragic moment of his life.

The little fairy asked the shop assistant to bring down all the styles that caught Lu Mingfei's eye so he could try them on. She also took the opportunity to measure Lu Mingfei's height.

He's 182cm tall!

She has broken the 180 mark, growing a full 4cm taller than before!

However, it seems that the Armani brand is destined to be unlucky for Lu Mingfei; every suit he wears looks strange on him.

It's not that he can't pull it off; with Lu Mingfei's current air of a British old rogue, even a cheap 200-yuan domestic brand suit would look like he's wearing a Kitton.

The outfit just didn't match; it was like putting two Western dragon wings on a Chinese dragon.

The little fairy directed Lu Mingfei to change into one outfit after another, as if playing a dress-up game. In the end, she shook her head in disapproval and simply waved her hand, leading Lu Mingfei to the next store.

The second Hugo Boss restaurant, however, provided Lu Mingfei with a well-tailored and stylish suit. Even Xiao Tiannv was impressed, feeling that the loser in front of her had instantly transformed into a noble young master.

Although it's a little loose-fitting, a tailor should be able to fix it by making some minor alterations.

However, after looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"This one won't work."

"Why?" Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback; even she couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"This suit is not the right style."

Lu Mingfei said, "The dress code for the dinner ceremony is 'Black Tie Attire,' which requires the suit jacket to be single-breasted or double-breasted, without vents, silk pointed lapels, and flap buttons. Look here, but look here."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei pointed to a spot on the jacket, "There's a slit here."

Sure enough, following Lu Mingfei's finger, Su Xiaoqiang saw a slit.

Although Su Xiaoqiang frequently attends various banquets, she is, after all, a woman. She is very familiar with the dress code for women, but she doesn't really know much about the dress code for men's suits.

I never expected Lu Mingfei to be so knowledgeable about these things!

While secretly surprised, the little fairy immediately recalled the aristocratic air she had seen in Lu Mingfei before, and his statement that his parents were international archaeologists.

Did this guy used to frequent various banquets and events? Is that how he developed his aura?

The little fairy's mind started to wander to unfounded associations with Lu Mingfei again.

The reason why Lu Mingfei knows so much about suits and the dress code for banquets is mainly because he has worn them a lot and has a lot of experience.

Ever since Lu Mingfei became a sophomore in his previous life, he was inexplicably "made" into an elite member of the student council and the designated successor. The suits he wore were all custom-made by the old Italian tailor who served the Gattuso family.

Because of his connection with the student council, he is also known as the sworn brother of Chu Zihang, the president of the Lionheart Society. In addition, he is the only "S" grade student. Therefore, he is a regular guest at any banquet or ceremony of any size in the academy.

Professionalism is forged in the crucible of a dangerous situation, don't you understand?

Later, Lu Mingfei tried on several more pieces at Hugo Boss, Aolama, and Ralph Lauren boutiques, but they either didn't fit him well or the styles were wrong. None of them fit him as well as the previous one.

However, since the style of the previous garment did not meet the requirements, it was indeed impossible to buy it.

After visiting several suit brand stores and trying on dozens of suits, Lu Mingfei and Xiaotian were exhausted.

I bought two cups of milk tea on the fifth-floor food court and rested for a while on the public benches in front of the cinema, preparing for the second round of the battle.
