Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

"I will go to a rather special university. Actually, I didn't really want to go, but the circumstances at the time were special, so I chose this path."

"Special?" Liu Yanyan stopped drinking and looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, asking tentatively.

"Your grades should be good enough for me to go to the same university. Even if they aren't, Xu Laosi can definitely pull some strings for you, and then you'll be my junior, hehe..."

Although Lu Mingfei also hoped to attend the same university as Zhang Chulan and Liu Yanyan, he thought, "This might not be a good idea. That university has already accepted me, and it's also my parents' alma mater. I want to go and take a look."

At this point, he thought of his parents, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and wanted to know if they were the "international fugitives" that Xu Si had mentioned, and also if Kassel College was the legendary "cult base".

Why haven't his parents contacted him for so many years? Kassel College is his parents' alma mater, and he was admitted to the college because of his parents' connections.

Kassel College has too many secrets.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, but even more so, a curiosity about the unknown.

Lu Mingfei's ever-changing expression did not escape Liu Yanyan's notice.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but because she was slightly drunk, her thoughts were a bit muddled, and she was afraid that what she said might hurt Lu Mingfei.

She clearly remembered that Lu Mingfei had mentioned liking someone, a red-haired senior student who should be a student at that special university.

Her gaze fell on the ends of her orange-red hair, and she pinched a strand of hair between her thumb and forefinger, twirling it around.

Lu Mingfei still couldn't forget that red-haired senior.

Liu Yanyan felt somewhat dejected. The family's inherited corpse-driving technique, which she had been learning day after day for more than ten years, had not only failed to provide her with any help, but had also caused her considerable trouble in her life and studies.

Her excessive emotional fluctuations caused her abilities to leak out, attracting all sorts of disdainful looks, forcing her to pretend not to care due to her extroverted personality.

How could a young girl not care?

How can I not care?

"Am I pretty?" Liu Yanyan put down her wine bottle and swiftly moved to within half a meter of Lu Mingfei, staring at him intently.

Lu Mingfei had noticed Liu Yanyan's appearance earlier when he was applying the medicine.

“Beautiful,” he replied to the question with great certainty.

Liu Yanyan was not pleased by these words, but instead asked seriously.

"How does it compare to the girl you like?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know how to answer for a moment, and fell into deep thought.

Liu Yanyan is different from Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen has a scholarly air and a quiet demeanor, making her the object of admiration for a young man experiencing the stirrings of love. The reason he likes Chen Wenwen is because he was lonely when he was in school, and Chen Wenwen offered him a helping hand at that time, even though this helping hand was unintentional on her part.

This was enough to leave a good impression on the heart of a lonely boy. Through the beautiful embellishment of his memories, and Chen Wenwen's daily confiding in him as a sounding board, it was further shaped into a near-perfect image, until...

Zhang Chulan was right; his feelings for Chen Wenwen were merely one-sided.

Unlike Nuonuo's quirky and mischievous nature, he had only interacted with Nuonuo a handful of times. Nuonuo's quirky and mischievous nature embarrassed him, whether it was at the Regent Hotel party or during his walk with Chen Wenwen. Yet, Nuonuo helped him at the movie theater, even helping him establish a good image in front of everyone, an image that others envied.

Although Zhang Chulan's words made sense, it didn't stop him from liking Nuonuo.

Thoughts in my mind vanish in an instant.

"That girl is pretty..."

Upon hearing Lu Mingfei's answer, Liu Yanyan couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. Yes, she was just someone who had jumped in halfway through... She glanced down at her tanned skin—Black Whirlwind.

Moreover, he is a descendant of a family of corpse-driving people, a family that is not likable.

How can she compare to a girlfriend carefully chosen by a rich young master? It's understandable that he likes someone else's beautiful girlfriend.

Liu Yanyan turned her gaze to the beer bottle in her hand, and said softly without expression, "I see..."

“However…” Lu Mingfei paused.

Compared to Nono's mischievous final rescue, which was still purposeful—to get him to join Kassel College—this last rescue was different.

Liu Yanyan accepted that she had come to this world with nothing, was ordinary, and even somewhat mediocre and cowardly. The fact that he even stood up for her was enough to show his feelings.

“I think that although you are not as pretty as her in some ways, you surpass her in others.”

"Really, really?"

Chapter 45 An Encounter (Please continue reading)

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan, who was slightly hunched over, straightened her chest instantly, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Lu Mingfei again, making no attempt to hide the excitement on her face.

This time, Lu Mingfei did not avoid Liu Yanyan's question. For some reason, he was not flustered in the face of her questioning gaze. Perhaps it was out of trust, or perhaps it was for other reasons.

“Really.” He replied sincerely.

Compared to Nuonuo, whom he had only met a few times, he knew Liu Yanyan, whom he had spent so much time with, much better.

These two words were like a piece of honey, so sweet that Liu Yanyan's lips curled up, and she gave a slightly smug hum.

"Then what about me..." Liu Yanyan stopped talking after saying that.

Making a boy weigh two very different girls will only lower her standing in his heart and affect his image of her.

Under Lu Mingfei's questioning gaze, Liu Yanyan took a swig of beer, pursed her lips, and carefully considered her words.

How should I greet them?

Should I ask it this way... or this way...?

These fancy things don't suit her.

Ultimately, she decided to take a direct approach.

Do you like me?

"what?"

Lu Mingfei had some doubts about his hearing.

Did your ear get pulled off during your fight with Zhang Chulan today, or did your nose get scratched, or did you get hit in the eye?

Did Liu Yanyan ask if she liked her?

You asked, right?

You must have asked!

"Do you like me?" Liu Yanyan repeated.

“Um…” Lu Mingfei stammered.

He was a little flustered, more flustered than when he first encountered Feng Baobao wielding a shovel, more flustered than when Xu Si said his parents were international fugitives, more flustered than when he met Lei Yanpao Gao Ning at Longhu Mountain, and more flustered than when he paid homage to the Old Celestial Master.

A girl was very honest and straightforward in saying whether she liked the other person or not.

This left Lu Mingfei at a loss for what to do.

Feeling restless and anxious, I scratched my head in frustration.

"Stop stammering, give me a definite answer." Then, Liu Yanyan said, enunciating each word clearly, "Do you...like...me?"

“Joy…” Lu Mingfei felt his heart race when he said the word, as if a car that usually travels at 60 miles per hour had suddenly sped up to 120 miles per hour, and he couldn’t adapt to it immediately.

He had never realized that words could have such power, so much so that his tongue could not bend or straighten normally, and swirled wildly in his mouth as if a live octopus had been stuffed into it.

Even his breathing became rapid, and although he hadn't been drinking, his face turned increasingly red, and saliva kept drooling from his mouth.

He uttered the last word with a lisp.

"joyous......"

After uttering that word, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that all the physical reactions he had just experienced were disappearing at an extremely rapid pace.

Liu Yanyan turned her face to the side and placed her hand on her ear, making a megaphone shape.

"What did you say? You spoke too softly, I didn't hear you."

After experiencing it once, Lu Mingfei realized that the word "like" wasn't so difficult to say. It was just that he had experienced a failed confession before and thought that the word "like" was extremely hard to say.

"like."

"..." Liu Yanyan's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Lu Mingfei's face, while the other corner of her mouth stretched almost to her ears.

"Excuse me, I might be a little drunk and can't hear you clearly. Could you please say it again?"

"I like you." After saying that, Lu Mingfei lowered her head shyly, like a delicate little girl.

He kept picking at his fingers.

"Then, how about I be your girlfriend?" Liu Yanyan asked with great interest.

"..."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the corner of his field of vision and remained silent for a long time.

"Are you disgusted by my identity as a descendant of the corpse-driving masters?" Liu Yanyan asked with dissatisfaction.

"No, no," Lu Mingfei quickly denied, explaining that his refusal to agree to Liu Yanyan's request was not because of her.

It was because of himself.

"Why is that?" Liu Yanyan rested her arm on the table, tilted her head slightly to the side, and rested her chin on her hand, quietly waiting for Lu Mingfei to give her answer.

Lu Mingfei's gaze remained fixed on the edge of his field of vision.

This is the fundamental reason he came into this world: a mysterious force capable of opening dimensional gates, with a countdown indicating the time when he will open the dimensional gates again.

There are still more than ten days left.

Or rather, there are only ten days left.

Liu Yanyan treated him kindly, showed him the friendliness of a friend, and gave him... kind of care.

But he only had a dozen days left before he left this world, only a dozen days left before he had to leave his partner.

They are from two different worlds, people from different worlds. Right now, he is still very weak, very weak, very weak...

He dared not make a promise to the other party; he was afraid to make a promise.

"Um..." Lu Mingfei stammered, unable to get the words out, "This..."

"You still look down on me because I'm a descendant of a corpse-driving family." Liu Yanyan teased enthusiastically this time, observing the embarrassment, awkwardness, and anxiety on Lu Mingfei's face, which was now breaking out in fine beads of sweat.

Lu Mingfei recalled Xu Si's words: "Kid, don't ever say you're not from this world when you're out there. Whoever's around you will get you killed!"

Xu Si spoke these words in a very serious tone, as if he had already foreseen the consequences for Lu Mingfei's words.
