Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

"What...what did you say?"

I said, "I want you to be my mother."

Huai Xu repeated it with a sincere expression.

"You...you don't have a fever, do you?"

"no."

"So, were you... assaulted? Or threatened? If you're in trouble, you can tell me, and I'll call the police for you..."

"No one threatened me. I mean it."

Huai Xu looked directly into her eyes. "From the first moment I saw you, I felt there was something special about you. Gentle, quiet, and someone you wanted to lean on. Isn't that a maternal quality?"

Chen Wenwen blushed to the roots of her ears.

She had never been praised like that before, let alone by such a handsome guy.

But she always felt that something was not quite right.

"But...but I'm only eighteen years old..."

Chen Wenwen's voice trailed off, "How can I be your mother..."

Huai Xu waved his hand, his tone righteous and stern: "Age is not a problem."

"Is that a matter of age?!"

"I think..."

She spoke cautiously, "You might need to see a psychologist. That Ms. Wang at the school clinic seems pretty professional..."

"I'm not sick. I'm just more grateful than the average person."

"I am grateful to everyone in this world, everyone who can give me warmth. And you, Chen Wenwen, you are the one who can give me warmth."

He paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"Be my mom."

Chen Wenwen felt like she was about to break down.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Huai Xu, I appreciate your...acknowledgment. But I really can't be your mother. First, we're the same age. Second, we've only just met. Third, I have absolutely no experience being a mother."

"It's okay, I have experience being a son."

That's not the point!

Chen Wenwen's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, drawing curious glances from several classmates who were eating nearby.

Huai Xu nodded. "Of course, this can't be forced. Would you like to get to know me better first and build a relationship? If not, that's okay too, I understand."

Chen Wenwen took a deep breath, then another, and then yet another.

"you……"

"Do you have any special... fetishes?"

"no."

"Then why did you want someone to be your mother? Where is your mother?"

They ran away.

Chen Wenwen fell silent.

"They...they ran away?"

"Yeah, something went wrong with the family business, my parents ran away, and now I'm all alone."

Huai Xu spoke these words in a very calm tone, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

But Chen Wenwen's heart softened for some reason after hearing this.

She's a sexy person who has loved reading since she was a child. She can cry all day while reading "Les Misérables" and for a week while reading "To Live".

This kind of tragic backstory is what really brings tears to her eyes.

"So you're... looking for someone to be your mother because you lack maternal love?"

Chen Wenwen asked tentatively.

Huai Xu thought for a moment: "That's one way to understand it."

Although it was actually due to the system, it doesn't count as lying.

The original owner's parents did indeed run away, and he did indeed lack love.

"Then you don't need to come to me," Chen Wenwen's tone softened. "You can go to a counselor... no, I mean, you can go to an elder or something..."

"The older generation doesn't have that feeling."

"How does it feel?"

"The feeling of a mother."

Chen Wenwen fell silent again.

She lowered her head, looked at the spilled soup on the table, and remained silent for a long time.

Then she looked up at Huai Xu's serious face and sighed.

"I...I can't be your mother."

[Acceptance rate rises to 2%]

Huai Xu glanced at the system notification and silently memorized it.

He's even lower than Lu Mingfei.

But at least it shows that Chen Wenwen doesn't dislike him; she just thinks this whole thing is too outrageous.

"But I can... be your friend," Chen Wenwen added. "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me for help. But being a mother... is really not an option."

Huai Xu nodded: "Okay, let's start by being friends."

Chen Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

As a result, Huai Xu's next sentence almost made her choke.

"Can I call you Wenwen's Mom from now on?"

"Can't!!!"

The surrounding students looked over again.

Chen Wenwen wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"What about Sister Wenwen?" Huai Xu took a step back.

Chen Wenwen hesitated for a moment: "This is okay..."

"Okay, Wenwen's mom."

[Acceptance rate rises to 5%]

“!!!!!!”

Huai Xu smiled, stood up, and said, "Then I'll be going now. Wenwen, please enjoy your meal. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Chen Wenwen sitting there alone, her blush lingering for a long time.

She looked down at the spilled soup, then at the direction Huai Xu had left, and muttered something under her breath.

"Is this person... mentally unstable...?"

As Huai Xu walked out of the cafeteria, he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Lu Mingfei's approval rating for you has risen to 5%]

"?"

Huai Xu thought about it and roughly understood.

Lu Mingfei is used to feeling inferior, so when someone suddenly becomes so enthusiastic towards him, he instinctively feels something is wrong.

Does this person have some ulterior motive? Are they lying to me?

But when he saw Huai Xu also calling Chen Wenwen "Mom," he felt relieved.

Oh, so it wasn't just me who was treated this way. This person really has something wrong with their head.

Then you don't need to worry about being scammed.

What kind of bad intentions could a mentally ill person have?

"..."

Although the process was a mess, the result did move in a positive direction.

Progress on Lu Mingfei's side is too slow, only 5% recognition. At this rate, by the time he gets Lu Mingfei's abilities, the Dragon King will probably have already been wiped out.

Chen Wenwen's is about the same, 5%, but even if the recognition rate is raised to 100%, the number of entries she gets will probably be just so-so.

Huai Xu felt he needed to find a more awesome mother.

The problem is that, apart from Lu Mingfei, everyone else at Shilan Middle School is an ordinary person.

What he needs are things like bloodline, incantation, and combat talent.

These things are not available at the school.

We'll have to wait for the people from Kassel College to arrive before we can discuss it further.

But when will the people from Kassel arrive?

Huai Xu recalled the original plot, but the timeline was a bit blurry. It seemed to be in the second semester of senior year, when people from Kassel came to recruit students, and Lu Mingfei was admitted, followed by the Three Gorges Dragon King incident.

He is currently in the first semester of his senior year of high school, and there is still some time left.

He can't be idle during this time.

We need to raise Lu Mingfei's approval rating first.

You need to get at least 30% to obtain a basic entry, which will give you some self-protection capabilities.

Huai Xu listened to the afternoon class absentmindedly.

The original owner's grades were average, ranking in the lower middle range at a prestigious high school like Shilan Middle School. Huai Xu wasn't a top student in his previous life either, and after transmigrating, he was completely ignorant of high school knowledge.

He lay on the table, plotting his next move.

First, continue to maintain a good relationship with Lu Mingfei. Invite him to dinner, talk about anime, play games—do whatever makes you feel close to him.

Second, try to reach out to other people with potential.

Huai Xu opened his phone, found the Baidu Tieba forum for Shilan Middle School, and started searching for famous people from the school.

Su Xiaoqiang, female, senior year (1), her family is in the mining business, and she is nicknamed "Little Fairy".

Liu Miaomiao, female, Class 1, Grade 12, plays the piano well and is also good-looking.

Zhao Menghua, male, Class 1, Grade 12, vice president of the Literature Club, and Lu Mingfei's "good brother".

None of them were particularly impressive figures.

But then Huai Xu thought again that he was just an ordinary high school student and had no access to the world of mixed-race people.

Instead of aiming too high, it's better to get to know all the mothers you can in your immediate circle first.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Even the worst entry is still an entry.

He decided to contact Su Xiaoqiang tomorrow.

the reason is simple--

Su Xiaoqiang's family is wealthy.

Very rich.

If you adopt her as your mother, the system might give you some money-related entries.

These things may not directly increase combat power in the world of "Dragon Raja", but the saying "money makes the world go round" applies in any world.

Huai Xu opened the system panel and glanced at it again.

[Oppression Index: 99/100]

This index has been rising.

The word "Mom" that I never uttered in my past life, even when I was hitting tiles until I died, I must say it in this life.

And it wasn't just one person shouting.

If you're going to shout, shout a dozen!

He looked at the math teacher on the podium, who was lecturing incessantly, and began to silently recite his lines for tomorrow.

"Su Xiaoqiang, I feel you have a special quality about you, like..."
