Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

Lu Mingfei had only seen it in cake shops and at his cousin Lu Mingze's birthday party; this was the first time he had ever seen a birthday cake decorated with his own name on it.

The bright red lettering on the white cream was very eye-catching and completely drew his attention.

In the pitch-black room, a cake with lit candles was brought to Lu Mingfei, at which point the girl's voice rang out.

"Mingfei, happy birthday! Make a wish!" Liu Yanyan then approached the candlelight, her smile full of love as she gazed at Lu Mingfei, whose attention was drawn to the cake.

Lu Mingfei was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

This was the first time in his life that someone had celebrated his birthday.

Although this birthday has been over for a long time, who says a late birthday isn't a birthday?

It wasn't that it was late; it was that it arrived early.

Are you moved? Yes, I am so moved that my tear ducts started producing tears like crazy.

He quickly closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and tried to stop his tears from flowing out.

What birthday wish should I make? I used to only buy tiny buttercream cakes the size of my palm, but now I have cakes at least eight inches in size, so I should be able to make a really, really big wish.

After much deliberation, Lu Mingfei finally decided to make a simple wish: that the girl could always be safe and sound.

So he took a deep breath, mustered all his strength, and blew out all the candles in one go.

The room was plunged into darkness again.

The next second, the lights illuminated the room.

"I was in a rush, so I only bought a cake and a birthday present." Liu Yanyan took out two boxes from behind her back and pushed them in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked at the snow-white cream cake, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He was already quite content with just a birthday cake; what made him even more satisfied was right before his eyes: the birthday celebration was being given to him by a young girl.

“I like anything you give me,” Lu Mingfei said.

Liu Yanyan opened her birthday gift, which was a pair of watches with gilded markers. The second hand was made up of three five-petaled flowers, which rotated slowly as the movement worked.

Lu Mingfei didn't know much about luxury goods, but he could tell they were valuable just by their texture.

The girl took the women's version and awkwardly put the men's version on Lu Mingfei.

"Hmm, not bad, it's starting to look more mature," the girl praised.

The cool metal watch strap seemed to carry the girl's body temperature, and felt no discomfort when it rested on her wrist.

The cake was cut into several neat slices.

Lu Mingfei popped the pure white cream into his mouth, the sweet sensation filling his mouth, seemingly even sweeter than the sweetest candy in the world. He savored the taste of the cake.

His hands moved with lightning speed, like an overloaded machine, quickly devouring the cake. The sweet cream seemed like the most delicious food in the world to him, and he wouldn't let a single bit go to waste.

Lu Mingfei devoured the cake as if he wanted to make up for all the portions he hadn't been able to eat in the past few years.

"Eat slowly, there's more, don't choke." The girl looked at the cake in her hand that she had only eaten a few bites of, handed it out, and in an instant, only a smooth paper plate remained.

Lu Mingfei sat on the edge of the bed with a satisfied look on his face. He had never been so happy in the past ten years.

The two remained silent for a long time.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth.

"I...I'm going home tomorrow, no, I'm going back."

"Go back where?" Liu Yanyan lay on the bed without any regard for her image, having completely let down her guard against Lu Mingfei. "You have... why don't you come home with me? My house is quite big."

She knew that to Lu Mingfei, his uncle and aunt could not be considered family; they were just strangers with whom he maintained a relationship through money.

In a sense, Lu Mingfei has no home.

"There might not be enough time. I'm going back to my own world tomorrow, and I might be gone for a while before I can come back. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."

"Ok."

Liu Yanyan glared at Lu Mingfei. Now she knew to use the trick of "absence makes the heart grow fonder" to deliberately separate them during their honeymoon period, so that they would be even more affectionate when they met again.

They're getting smarter and smarter.

I doubt you'd dare go very far.

What other world? He's not from this world. The boy can never stop being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), thinking that his home is a gate separating two worlds, capable of keeping all disasters out.

She'd seen this kind of tactic many times before.

"If you can't find me, go find Zhang Chulan. He will explain the reason. He is currently in Kyoto, helping Wang Ye deal with the problems caused by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

"Good good."

Liu Yanyan gave a vague reply. She was playing this game quite thoroughly, even dragging Zhang Chulan into it, but she didn't seem to care about producing any evidence. It had no persuasive power whatsoever.

"Remove your armor!" Liu Yanyan pushed Lu Mingfei down onto the bed.

"Again? This time, could I...?"

"You're dreaming!"

Liu Yanyan kicked away the pink starfish pillow and pulled Lu Mingfei into her arms. The warmth from his body made her unconsciously tighten her arms around him.

......

Liu Yanyan suddenly felt that there was no space beside her. The "warmer" was gone. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Lu Mingfei was already dressed.

"Should I go back? Wait until I'm sure I can bring people back normally... never mind, there's nothing fun around that time," Lu Mingfei asked.

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, you're so childish." Liu Yanyan wrapped the blanket tighter around herself. You think you can just run away?

She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep again.

for a long time.

She shifted uncomfortably, not touching any firm flesh, and slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

"Mingfei, let me hug you a little longer."

The sound echoed in the room, but there was no response from the girl for a long time.

She yawned and smacked her lips.

"Mingfei? Mingfei!" The girl's voice rose several octaves, but still no one responded.

"He really left?" She looked around the room suspiciously. Apart from the few traces left from that day's commotion, it seemed as if he had been the only person in the room from beginning to end.

The girl sat up abruptly, searching for Lu Mingfei's figure. Her heart began to race. This first separation in a long time had made her anxious and restless, and she nervously tossed her messy hair.

Is he serious?

"Lu Mingfei! You get the hell over here! Now! Right now!"

"Or I'll kick you to death tonight."

The girl's angry roar echoed in the room, but no one responded.

"Fine, you dare ignore me now." She quickly dressed and began searching the room.

"Mingfei?"

There wasn't one under the bed.

"Mingfei?"

There is no restroom.

There's nothing behind the curtains, no trash can, no TV stand... nothing... nothing at all...

Liu Yanyan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she squatted down, leaning against the edge of the bed.

She rubbed her head vigorously with both hands, feeling uneasy and guilty. Had she not done enough? Or had she been too rough?

Looking up at the ceiling, I saw a cell phone on the side.

An idea came to me immediately.

"You dare not answer my call?"

"Beep beep beep—The number you dialed is not in service. Please try again later."

Chapter 97 So it was true after all.

She had lost count of how many calls this was; the only response was, "The other party is not in service area."

My mind went blank, and I unconsciously pressed redial, hoping the other party would answer.

The only sound in the room was the announcement that "the other party is not in service area".

The rumbling sounds caused by hunger interrupted her unconscious actions.

Holding the phone in my palm, hundreds of unanswered calls.

"I..." The girl's nose tingled, and her vision blurred.

"Damn Lu Mingfei!"

She held her phone high and aimed it at the solid wall not far away.

Bang!

The cake packaging was smashed against the wall.

She held her phone in her arms and opened her brief chat with Lu Mingfei.

The two, who were often together, only exchanged a few words in their text messages, just routine inquiries about whether they wanted spicy food and how much they wanted to eat.

There used to be so many things to say, but at this moment it feels like there's not enough, not enough at all. If only there were more, there would be more memories, and more to miss.

After looking through the messages for a long time, I noticed a glaring word in the text message: "Fourth Brother".

Remembering Xu Si's joke about locking Lu Mingfei in the bunker, could it be true?

They quickly dialed Xu Si's number.

"Xu...Fourth Brother, have you seen Mingfei? I can't get through to him on the phone."

"I didn't see it. That kid called me before but hasn't contacted me since. I've been very busy lately, dealing with the Old Master's matter."

"You two had a falling out? Once I find him, I'll make him walk around the bunker first, then I'll apologize to you. That kid is getting more and more outrageous. Such a nice girl, and he actually dared to..."
