Dragon Raja: Reboot

After taking his senior brother 007 to the hospital, Lu Mingfei took a stroll outside with the toilet seat in his hand.

Finally, after wandering around for a while, we arrived at the pizzeria where the literary society was having its dinner.

I checked the time; it had been about ten minutes past the agreed time.

At the last gathering, he was the only one among them who arrived on time, even his senior brother, who is currently lying in the hospital, stood him up by fifteen minutes in his previous life. That's why he was so unhurried.

The waiter at the door was taken aback when he saw that Lu Mingfei had a toilet seat around his neck, which looked like the breastplate of a holy armor.

Despite his excellent training, he still maintained a polite smile.

"Get out, this is our restroom..."

Lu Mingfei raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I know, they're all squat seats. I've used them, and to be honest, the comfort level is just so-so. I suggest you change them as soon as possible; you should make your guests feel at home! Also, I'm here for a party, so please make way for me."

The waiter, somewhat skeptical, stepped aside and watched as Lu Mingfei's figure disappeared around the corner.

……

What's on sale today?

"Forget about special offers, Zhao Menghua said he's buying everything for today: a full-fledged seafood pizza for each person, plus unlimited Coke refills!"

"Hey, you idiot, why are we eating pizza when someone's paying? I want a black truffle meat sauce pasta with Caspian black caviar!" someone said.

"Keep pretending. Caspian black caviar, do you even know where the Caspian Sea is? This stuff that doesn't fill your stomach is the most boring thing!"

"I think he's the most expensive... I'm sharpening my knives here, ready to rip off Zhao Menghua. You guys don't know how incredibly successful his family has become lately; their company is about to go public. If we don't take advantage of them, we'll be doing them a disservice!"

"Young Master Zhao has crossed ranks! He's going to surpass Lu Mingfei and become number one on the 'This Scoundrel Must Be Killed' list!"

"The boss is always the highest class within the highest class!"

Inside the private room, a group of people were talking enthusiastically, in a harmonious and passionate atmosphere.

Lu Mingfei, standing outside the door, wanted to laugh.

No wonder the Xu brothers glanced at me when they mentioned the "List of Those Who Should Be Killed" in my previous life.

Everyone is still the same as before. Zhao Menghua, who graduated a year ago, still has his prestige. Everyone still calls him "Big Brother" and the Xu brothers are still as obsequious as ever. But some things have changed imperceptibly.

"Lu...Lu Mingfei?"

Young Master Zhao stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost, standing behind Lu Mingfei with a wary expression.

Faced with this dark horse who turned the tide at the last minute, defeating countless geniuses, and occupying a unique spot on the publicly released list after the college entrance examination, surpassing all others and towering over Zhao Menghua, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Zhao Menghua could never figure out his strategy.

Afterwards, whenever Zhao Menghua thought back to the time when he was in charge of treating everyone to internet access and Lu Mingfei was in charge of flattering him, and their perfect teamwork made him unable to accept this ending after three years of treating everyone. He was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Are you, Lu Mingfei, perhaps imitating Goujian's perseverance and humiliation, posing as my underling for three years just to surprise me?

That's not how you do it!

"Old Zhao, long time no see." Lu Mingfei smiled, his smile perfectly balanced—too little awkwardness, too much enthusiasm.

"Oh...oh, long time no see," Zhao Menghua responded, somewhat dazed.

If Lu Mingfei had acted this way before, Zhao Menghua would have turned on him long ago. Who the hell would call you Brother Zhao?

But this attitude made Zhao Menghua even more confused about the guy.

He heard that the schools in the United States had even sent a letter to the principal of Shilan High School, thanking him for nurturing such outstanding students for them...

Is Lu Mingfei very outstanding?

Zhao Menghua originally planned to go abroad as an exchange student during his junior and senior years, but when he thought about it, he felt that the "aesthetics" abroad might be different from what he had imagined, and he couldn't help but feel hesitant and confused.

The fact that Lu Mingfei could single-handedly bring so much sorrow to Young Master Zhao shows the immense influence Lu Mingfei had on his life.

"Why aren't you going in? What are you doing standing at the door?" Zhao Menghua asked.

"Oh, I'm waiting for someone. Old Zhao, you go ahead and do your thing. Everyone's waiting for you. You're the main character today; the main character can't be absent!"

Lu Mingfei patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and thoughtfully opened the door to the private room for him, pushing him inside.

Zhao Menghua was already about to explode when Lu Mingfei patted her on the shoulder. Who did he think he was, patting her on the shoulder? Did he even deserve it?

But in the end, he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he forced himself to stay silent.

He said he was waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?

As Zhao Menghua was pushed into the private room, she looked back but could only see a corner of a white dress peeking out from the gap in the closed door.

He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to go out, but a chorus of "Boss" from inside the private room made him stop in his tracks.

He turned his head and saw Liu Miaomiao sitting to the side, smiling slightly with her lips pursed.

The impulse in my heart was suppressed.

Even if Lu Mingfei really came for Chen Wenwen, what does it have to do with me? They've already broken up...

Outside.

Lu Mingfei stood in a long corridor and slowly turned his head to look. The blazing sunlight shone in from the only door on his right, and a slender figure gracefully approached.

The familiar white skirt came into view, along with those same low-heeled sandals.

Unlike before, her steps were no longer light and agile, but heavy, as if she were dragging an iron ball weighing dozens of kilograms under her feet.

"Hi, Lu Mingfei."

Chen Wenwen raised her hand to greet them.

Her pupils were still the same as before, reflecting light like the surface of water, but the water was abnormally still, with no more rippling waves.

She used to walk with light steps, as if she were tiptoeing, about to transform into a bird and fly past him.

But at this moment, she seemed to have her wings broken, and her clear autumn waters had turned into a stagnant pool.

Is this the magic of love?

To be able to change a person so thoroughly, from the inside out.

That's terrifying.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest again, but it wasn't because of Chen Wenwen in front of him.

He was just thinking about the girl who had changed because of him.

Regret once again overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing his pale face, Chen Wenwen asked in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei snapped out of his reverie, his smile turning awkward, and said, "No, I was just thinking about an old friend."

"Is it a girl?" Chen Wenwen raised her hand to brush a strand of hair aside, pursed her lips, and said softly, "It seems so. Lu Feiming, have you finally found a girl who makes your heart flutter?"

Lu Mingfei looked stunned.

Are all girls this perceptive?

That seemingly naive girl was able to find the host club by following the clues using Line navigation, and Chen Wenwen in front of her was able to determine from her intuition that the person she had just thought of was a girl.

He looked up and, for the first time, revealed a bright smile: "Yes."

"That's wonderful." Chen Wenwen forced a smile, as bright as she had been back then, a genuine joy from the bottom of her heart.
