Dragon Raja: Reboot

When Lu Mingfei stepped out of the domain and looked around, he was speechless with astonishment.

Last time, he mistakenly walked into the women's restroom and squatted there for quite a while before realizing it. He never expected that this time, that little rascal Lu Mingze would send him into the women's restroom again.

Just as he was about to push open the door and walk out of the cubicle, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside.

……

"Did you tell her or not?" A girl's voice came from outside.

"What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with her." The boy's voice was impatient.

"What's there to hide? She'll find out sooner or later anyway. Can we really never see each other again?"

"Don't you know her personality? She always has a mournful face. What's the point of talking to her? She'll just make a scene."

"Don't talk about her like that... Didn't you say she was pretty good when you were together before?"

"I just can't stand her attitude. She's so clingy and indecisive, one minute she's acting all melancholy, the next she's playing the victim, and then she's acting like the world revolves around her. Let whoever wants to serve her do it; I'm not in the mood!"

"If we break up in the future, you won't say that about me, will you...?"

"No way... You're so well-behaved... Oh, I misspoke. I meant, if you're so well-behaved, why would I break up with you? I'd only break up with you if I hit my head. Hehe."

"Ugh... why are you sticking to me like that?"

"The dress is pretty..."

Those chaotic sounds—the sounds of kissing, the rustling of fabric, footsteps, and soft whispers…

They've all gone.

Lu Mingfei sighed softly, knowing that the woman these two adulterers were talking about was standing in front of the pool, having completely received this blow of love.

He pushed open the cubicle door and went out.

The water in front of the pool was flowing with a gurgling sound.

A girl in a white dress with black hair stood in front of the pool, her black hair perfectly obscuring her eyes and expression.

This is the advantage of having long hair: when you don't want others to see you cry, you can hide behind your long hair and feel sad.

Chen Wenwen acted as if she hadn't seen him at all. One of her hands was underwater, and the other was on her phone, texting and hovering over the keyboard.

With a "thud," the phone slipped from my hand and landed on the tiled floor.

Chen Wenwen slowly lowered her free hand.

Lu Mingfei took a few steps forward, picked it up, and glanced at the text message on the screen.

Chen Wenwen was using an Apple device. The system automatically arranged and displayed a person's text messages like a chat log, as if stringing together a jumble of memories.

"You're not wearing the bracelet I gave you for your birthday last year..."

"Did you receive the text message I just sent? The one about the bracelet..."

"Received, but I didn't wear it today, it was too hot."

"Yeah, it's so hot. I couldn't sleep last night, I kept thinking about the past. I could only sleep for an hour or two each time. Did you sleep well?"

"It's alright, you'll sleep well if you drink a glass of milk before bed."

Will you still remember me?

"Don't overthink it, we're still classmates."

"Last night I dreamt I was rowing a boat on a river. I texted you to ask where you were, and you said to wait for me on the bridge ahead. So I rowed forward, but it was all foggy, and I rowed for a long time without seeing the bridge. I texted you again, and you said to wait for me on the bridge as well. I thought, what if the bridge is behind me? So I rowed back as fast as I could, but the current was too fast, so I kept going forward... and then I woke up."

"Don't overthink it; a calm mind prevents you from dreaming."

"Do you understand what I mean by dream?"

"I understand, but I don't want to hear it. It's pointless. It's better for us all to say less."

"You don't want to listen to me anymore? Do you have a new girlfriend?"

"Stop asking! It's a party today, let's enjoy the food!"

"Don't be angry, I'll wish you well if you find a new girlfriend..."

The last text message hasn't been sent yet.

Now we don't need to send them anymore.

Because she couldn't truly wish them well, because not every girl is Rika Akana...

The women's restroom was silent, except for the sound of running water and the almost stopped heartbeat.

Lu Mingfei thought that he couldn't waste water resources like this, and that saving water was everyone's responsibility. He put his phone into Chen Wenwen's hand and turned off the tap.

"It's okay," Chen Wenwen said, though it was unclear whether she was speaking to Lu Mingfei or to herself.

"Don't worry, I'm never a blabbermouth, you know that."

Chen Wenwen scooped up some water and splashed it on her face, wiped it, took a deep breath, and looked up. Her face was wet and pale. She lifted her white dress to wipe her face and then tidied her hair.

"Why did you end up in the women's restroom?" Chen Wenwen suddenly asked blankly.

"Can I say that I sensed that there was a silly girl in the dark who needed my help?" Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Don't say anything, just promise."

She lifted her white dress to wipe her face, turned around and looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes, her voice soft yet firm.

She always spoke to Lu Mingfei in this style, just like back in the literary society. Whenever she assigned him a task, she would always tell him to "make a promise," as if his promise was so precious and could really be effective.

Who would believe a loser's promise?

Prior to this, besides Chen Wenwen,

nobody.

The girl who first reached out to him and invited him to join the literary society sometimes trusted him inexplicably and unconditionally.

It was this trust that made Lu Mingfei, who had previously had almost no presence, feel cared for and cherished by others.

Rare yet extremely precious.

He knew, of course, that this might just be an unintentional or casual act of kindness to others.

But this is not a reason for him to ignore the kindness of others.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand and gently pressed it on Chen Wenwen's head, just like an older brother.

He looked at the girl with her hands clasped together and said softly, "It's okay, just go home and get some sleep."

The girl was taken aback.

It was the first time I realized that the tall boy in front of me was actually a head taller than me.

He had already perfectly played the role of an older brother, stroking her head and comforting her by saying it was okay.

What does it matter? It's just a breakup. Everyone experiences heartbreak. If your first love ends right away, it means you were destined to be together in a past life. They have a love that spans two lifetimes. What makes you think you can compare to them?

But I still wake up in the middle of the night, my heart still aches when I feel the pain, and tears still flow involuntarily...

Chen Wenwen lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, her reddened eyes hidden by her long hair.

"People who love each other will definitely be together."

Lu Mingfei's voice was deep and powerful.

He spoke calmly, as if it were a fact that was destined to come, and even if it wasn't, he would make it a fact.

People who love each other should be together, no matter what kind of monsters or demons you are, don't even think about interfering.

He once promised another girl that he would drive away all the invading Ultraman for her, but he didn't keep his promise.

This time.

He will no longer break his promises, nor will he let those around him miss out.

The so-called "he" means family reunion and all good things going well!

"You seem to have changed," Chen Wenwen suddenly said.

"You've become more handsome?" Lu Mingfei scratched his messy hair and grinned.

Of course he has changed. He has experienced countless wars and fought his way through countless battles to finally ascend the throne and regain his supreme position. He is now the most honorable emperor in history.

How could someone like him be the same as the loser he used to be?

He returned with the heart of a supreme being and a burning rage, solely to make up for all the regrets he had encountered along the way.

This world is destined to have a happy ending in the second playthrough!

"Your eyes... you no longer look down at the road and people like before. There's light in your eyes now," Chen Wenwen whispered.

She still remembered the afternoon she invited Lu Mingfei to join the literary society.

The tall boy in front of me looked down at the sunlight falling on the ground.

It seems like I'm always alone.
