Lu Mingfei picked up the ice pack and gently placed it on top. Chen Wenwen subconsciously let out a soft moan.

The atmosphere became ambiguous.

……

Chapter 15 Lu Mingfei's Career Path After Graduation: Japanese Host

Ultimately, it was Chen Wenwen who broke the ambiguous silence first.

“This is the first time,” she said.

"What first time?" Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously, wondering if it was the first time someone had touched Chen Wenwen's little feet.

According to ancient sayings, either he would cut off his own hand, or Chen Wenwen would repay him with her body.

However, Lu Mingfei was overthinking it. Chen Wenwen lowered her eyes, her tone light but with a hint of grievance: "...This is the first time you've spoken to me. You haven't paid any attention to me in a long time."

"Oh, this."

"Did I do something wrong to annoy you?" Chen Wenwen turned her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling gently, her voice very soft.

"No, that's not true. I just can't make small talk, what if I annoy you?" Lu Mingfei also looked away.

“You weren’t like this before,” she questioned softly.

"Haha..." Lu Mingfei chuckled dryly, offering no further explanation.

After a moment of silence, Chen Wenwen crossed her arms, nodded slightly, and softened her voice: "This Friday is my birthday, and my friends are planning to have a meal together to celebrate... Mingfei, would you like to come?"

"Yes, yes." Lu Mingfei nodded.

Although it sounded a bit perfunctory, Chen Wenwen still smiled gently, her heavy heart finally settling down.

With her mind at ease, Chen Wenwen wanted to chat with Lu Mingfei for a few more minutes, about anything, just to hear his voice.

Just then, the door to the infirmary was pushed open, and the female school doctor walked in. She was a young, mature woman with shoulder-length short hair, wearing a white doctor's coat, her hands in her pockets, and a beauty mark under her right eye.

She spotted the two people in the ambiguous atmosphere at a glance, raised an eyebrow, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

"You guys chat first, I'm going out for a smoke."

"She accidentally sprained her ankle, could you please check it for her?" Lu Mingfei quickly said.

"Okay, let me see."

The female school doctor approached, gestured for Chen Wenwen to remove the ice pack from her foot, her gaze fell on her slightly swollen ankle, and she gently pressed the surrounding soft tissue with her fingertips, asking how the injury felt.

"Does it hurt here?" She pressed her fingertips lightly on the swollen area on the outside.

Chen Wenwen subconsciously frowned and hissed softly, "It's a bit sore and swollen, and it hurts even more when I walk."

The female school doctor slowly rotated her ankle again, her movements gentle and professional, observing her facial expressions: "Turning it this way? Is the stinging sensation obvious?"

"It's okay, but I feel stiff and I'm afraid to step on the ground hard," she replied, biting her lower lip.

Fortunately, it was just a soft tissue contusion; no bones were damaged, and there was no obvious tear in the ligaments.

The female school doctor withdrew her hand, her tone calm, "It's only been a short time since the sprain, and the ice pack was applied in time. Just avoid running and jumping around afterwards."

She turned around and took out a tube of topical anti-swelling ointment from the locker, handing it to me: "Apply a thin layer every morning and evening, try to walk around as little as possible, and elevate your feet slightly when you sleep at night. After three days, you can switch to warm compresses to help the bruising disperse."

Lu Mingfei reached out and took the ointment, thanking him repeatedly.

The female school doctor glanced at the two uneasy-looking young men, a slight smile playing on her lips, and casually advised, "Young lady, don't push yourself too hard during morning exercises and PE class these next few days. Keep an eye on the boys, make sure they don't get hurt. I'm going out for a smoke now, call me if you need anything."

“I’ll light the fire for my sister,” Lu Mingfei blurted out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he followed the female school doctor out of the infirmary, leaving Chen Wenwen behind, raising her hand as if to say something but then stopping herself, her eyes filled with melancholy.

Outside the infirmary, the corridor was slightly cool.

The female school doctor took out a pack of Seven Stars cigarettes from her pocket, skillfully flicked open the cigarette box with her fingertips, and handed one to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei, who never smokes or drinks, immediately raised his hand and waved it away, resolutely refusing.

"You're all talk and no action, yet you're so good at talking back." The female school doctor chuckled and took back her cigarette. "It's a good thing you didn't take it. If you had dared to smoke it, I would have told your homeroom teacher right away."

"Sister, you're entrapping me," Lu Mingfei complained.

The female school doctor pretended not to hear. She held a cigarette between her fingers, took out a red-cased lighter, and after a crisp click, a spark ignited.

A wisp of pale white smoke rose slowly. She turned her head and glanced at the boy beside her, speaking casually, "To be honest, little brother, I gave you a chance but you didn't do it."

Schools do discourage early romantic relationships, but you need to understand one thing: if you can't seize the opportunity in high school, where you have the advantage of proximity, it will be even harder to meet someone you like in college when you're more scattered and have a wider social circle.

"Sister, you've misunderstood my relationship with her. We're just classmates," Lu Mingfei said sincerely.

Perhaps it was the comforting sound of Lu Mingfei calling her "sister" so sweetly.

Although he didn't use any particularly clever rhetoric, the female school doctor inexplicably felt that Lu Mingfei was actually quite good at coaxing girls.

I might as well graduate and go to Japan to become a male escort; the future is bright and full of promise.

The female school doctor exhaled a puff of smoke and earnestly warned the boy, "Look at the way your classmate looks at you. There's not a trace of the proper respect a classmate can show. Tsk tsk, it's like he wants to devour you."

I'm a woman, so I understand girls better than you do. Let me give you a heads-up: a girl's reserve and shyness are actually a protective shell, reserved for those she's not interested in.

If they happen to meet someone they're attracted to, their courage and initiative far surpass that of you clueless young men.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, recalling something.

To my shame, in the world of the script, it was Chen Wenwen who took the initiative to reach out and gently grasp his palm.

Could it be that……

Lu Mingfei snapped out of his daze, scratched his head, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Sister, are you sure it's okay for you to tell me all this? Aren't you afraid of violating school rules?"

“I am a partner outsourced by the school and am not directly managed by the school, so I don’t have as many restrictions and concerns.”

The female school doctor smiled faintly, then looked up at him. "By the way, what's your name?"

Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised to hear this. In the Shilan Middle School area, there were actually people who didn't recognize him, the God Lu?

The female school doctor looked unfamiliar; she must be a newcomer who had recently been transferred to the school.

"My name is Lu Mingfei. The road is long and winding, and Mingfei means to distinguish right from wrong."

"Lu Mingfei, that's a good name. I'll remember it." The female school doctor nodded.

"And you, sister?"

"My surname is Zhou, Zhou Qinghe. 'Qing' as in clear water, and 'He' as in seedling. My family named it this way, hoping I would be quiet, gentle, and down-to-earth," Zhou Qinghe said.

At the end, she twitched the corners of her mouth, clearly feeling that her parents had given her the wrong name.

After chatting with Zhou Qinghe for a while, Lu Mingfei said goodbye and left, returning to the playground.

Zhou Qinghe watched the boy walk away, a cigarette between her fingers, and muttered to herself, "So he's the rumored Lu Mingfei. He's not as bad as the elders said. He's quite an interesting kid."

As soon as Lu Mingfei returned to the playground, a group of boys from his class immediately surrounded him...

Chapter 16: Ye Shengya and two model workers make their debut.

They were the ones who, most of the time, supported Chen Wenwen in the three-way power struggle between Su Xiaoqiang, Chen Wenwen, and Liu Miaomiao.

The group of people chattered amongst themselves, pressing Chen Wenwen for details about her injuries.

One of them had an unfriendly expression, his eyes filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

The other half, on the other hand, was full of tender concern, as if it could be transmitted to Chen Wenwen remotely through Lu Mingfei, the intermediary.

That look in his eyes made Lu Mingfei so nervous that he tightened his anus a few times.

The physical education teacher also quickly came over to inquire. Lu Mingfei truthfully relayed Zhou Qinghe's diagnosis: it was just a common soft tissue contusion, which would recover after a few days of rest.

The teacher nodded knowingly.

On the outskirts of the crowd, Lu Mingfei caught a glimpse of Zhao Menghua standing to the side. The man was staring intently at him, his disgust almost written on his face, and he glared at him fiercely.

I panicked, my defenses crumbled, I couldn't hold back anymore.

This feud is now officially established.

Despite Lu Mingfei's utter bewilderment at this hostility, was this all?

Because Lu Mingfei carried Chen Wenwen to the infirmary, the physical education test had to be temporarily suspended and a make-up test will be scheduled for another time.

The PE teacher had seen his first-round results and knew that the second test would just be a formality.

A short while later, the bell rang, and the members of the literary society planned to go to the infirmary to visit their president, Chen Wenwen. Lu Mingfei hesitated subconsciously, not wanting to join in the fun.

Just then, Xia Mi walked over quickly and called out to him, giving him a way out.

"Senior brother~ Is Chen Wenwen's condition serious? Does she need an amputation?" Xia Mi asked.

"It's just a sprained ankle, how could it lead to amputation?" Lu Mingfei was amazed by Xia Mi's strange thought process.

"Is that so? What a pity." Xia Mi sighed.

Lu Mingfei: ? ?

"Just kidding," Xia Mi said with a smile. She told Lu Mingfei, "Senior brother, I must remind you, pretty girls are the best liars. Don't be fooled by Chen Wenwen."

"According to your theory, shouldn't I be wary of you? I can't believe a single word you say."

"Huh? Is this a subtle compliment from my senior brother on my looks? Is he planning to confess his feelings to me?"

Xia Mi feigned surprise, took a step forward, turned around, bowed slightly to Lu Mingfei, put her hands together, and said apologetically, "Although you are a gentle and considerate man who would even transfer fifty yuan to me to treat me to a spicy chicken wing burger, we are not suitable. I'm sorry, please give up!"

Xia Mi's commotion drew frequent glances from passersby. Lu Mingfei said helplessly, "Great Teacher Xia Mi, please stop your supernatural powers."

"I've always wanted to say that the title 'Oo Natsumi-sensei' sounds a bit strange."

"How about we switch to Teacher Daye?" Lu Mingfei suggested casually.

Xia Mi: "..."

"Senior brother, why did you think of the name Teacher Daye?" Xia Mi asked cautiously, her fist secretly hidden behind her back.

“…Because, Xia Mi, you really like to do the 'peace' game.” Lu Mingfei made up a story.

"Is there?"

"some.
