Looking at Su Xiaoqiang's serious expression, Lu Mingfei said half-jokingly, "Judging from your expression, it's like if I said I didn't like it, you would feel like the sky is falling."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoqiang, who seemed carefree but was actually quite perceptive, understood the implication in Lu Mingfei's words and was truly shocked.

"She is Chen Wenwen."

"You are Su Xiaoqiang."

When Lu Mingfei said this, he meant that Chen Wenwen was nothing special, not unique at all, at least not in the boy's mind at this moment.

There's no need for the word "but".

Su Xiaoqiang fell silent, biting on the lemonade straw, and quietly observing the boy in front of her.

He met the gaze calmly, no longer feeling awkward or embarrassed when being stared at, and his eyes did not flinch.

He was so confident and outgoing, unlike the classmate I knew.

“You…” Su Xiaoqiang stared at Lu Mingfei and slowly spoke.

"What's wrong with me?" Lu Mingfei thought Su Xiaoqiang would say something like, "You've changed so much in just a few days," or "You're not Lu Mingfei at all! Are you some kind of cosmic dinosaur?"

Su Xiaoqiang then said, "You need a haircut."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. He subconsciously touched the back of his neck and pinched a strand of hair between two fingers. The hair was already longer than the width of his fingers. As Su Xiaoqiang said, it really should be trimmed.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's dazed look, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but chuckle. She naturally reached out and brushed aside the bangs that were covering Lu Mingfei's eyebrows: "Take some time to get a neat haircut, pick out a decent set of clothes, and dress yourself up properly. Brother, you're not bad at all."

"Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be suspicious, instinctively protecting his chest, his eyes showing a hint of wariness. "Brother Qiang, I'm just..."

"Heh, you think saying a few sweet words counts as being nice to you? Then your standards for a good girl are way too low. No wonder you used to be completely swayed by Chen Wenwen, you little Tom cat." Su Xiaoqiang said dismissively.

She wouldn't be interested in anything; she's very picky and not easy to pursue.

Lu Mingfei is only more pleasing to the eye than before, but he hasn't reached the point where he can make Miss Su's heart flutter.

That's right.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and wisely shut his mouth.

That's just his personality. If someone shows him a little kindness, like giving him a few grains of rice from a bowl of rice, he'll be incredibly grateful and think the person is so kind.

A typical people-pleasing personality, a pushover.

"Tell me quickly, why don't you like Chen Wenwen anymore? You can't just let go like that." Su Xiaoqiang pressed, a glint in her eyes. "Something must have happened between you two."

Something happened?

Does it count as an accident?

"Next up is paid content."

"Give me the highest VIP level!"

"Brother Qiang, let's talk about it after you beat me in the monthly exam," Lu Mingfei said with a smile, brushing it off. "Don't forget our promise."

“You’re the challenger, what are you whining about?” Su Xiaoqiang said.

Lu Mingfei shrugged lightly: "You're not allowed to cheat or use any tricks when the time comes."

He knew perfectly well that Su Xiaoqiang would sometimes stick cheat sheets on her thighs during exams and would deliberately wear a skirt into the exam room.

Even if the proctor notices the small movements, he doesn't dare to check, because he still needs to obtain his teaching certificate.

How could Lu Mingfei know about this?

Because of an accident, he was the only one who witnessed that fleeting white scene.

If he were to say this aloud, he would definitely be subjected to endless elbow strikes from Miss Su, so Lu Mingfei naturally chose to keep it a secret.

Su Xiaoqiang's cheeks flushed red, both angry and embarrassed. "You're utterly slanderous! It's pure defamation!"

Lu Mingfei slowly picked up the lemonade and finished the rest. The girl opposite him blushed more than any words could express his feelings.

Compared to the unrequited love of youth, the noisy twilight moments between old classmates like these are more worth remembering years later.

Outside the bubble tea shop, Xia Mi, hiding in the shadows, bit into the popsicle in her mouth and muttered to herself: "You two are such a scoundrel!"

……

Before going home, Lu Mingfei followed Su Xiaoqiang's advice and went into a high-end-looking barbershop. The stylist, Tony, looked a bit like Shun Oguri, and his skills were surprisingly good.

After getting his hair cut, Lu Mingfei looked in the mirror. The messy bangs that had been covering his eyebrows and eyes had been completely trimmed, revealing the boy's delicate features.

At first glance, he might not be considered as handsome as Chu Zihang, but he's the kind of person whose looks grow on you. You can't really tell from photos; you have to see him in person to understand.

Between raising her eyes and lowering her brows, her gaze is captivating, revealing a unique charm.

As Zhou Qinghe jokingly thought, Lu Mingfei going to a host club in Japan would definitely be a huge hit, with countless young women going crazy for him. Even a mafia heiress would probably spend a fortune to buy 100,000 tickets to cheer him on and make him smile.

Lu Mingfei thought this was a boost to his charm value from the system's reward; otherwise, he would have been an ordinary-looking person.

In reality, this is just the tip of the iceberg of his charm.

He is... the darling of this world, the emperor on the stage, the wrathful one under fate, and the absolutely unparalleled protagonist.

Afterwards, Lu Mingfei went to the mall and spent some money to pick out a birthday gift for Chen Wenwen.

Although he is not as obsessed with Chen Wenwen as before, he is not going to the extreme of rejecting and denying her. This is a different kind of concern.

Just take it easy.

On the other side, Su Xiaoqiang walked to the side of the street, dialed the driver's number, stood at the intersection waiting, with her hands behind her back, humming a cheerful song softly.

The evening breeze ruffled her long hair, and her skirt swayed gently in the wind.

The girl's bright and flamboyant appearance naturally became a striking sight in the twilight.

To outsiders, this pure and vibrant figure resembles a captivating white lamb.

……

Lu Mingfei returned to his aunt's house at seven o'clock in the evening.

My uncle went to my wife's parents' house, saying he had taken a long leave from work and wouldn't be home for a few days.

His departing figure resembled someone heading to the battlefield, his face bearing the tragic air of "a hero goes forth never to return."

Lu Mingze remained the same, and Lu Mingfei ignored him, continuing to let him roam freely.

With his uncle and aunt not around, he didn't dare to provoke Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei naturally used his laptop to log on to QQ, intending to have a real showdown with Lao Tang, but found that Chen Wenwen had left him a message.

Chapter 20 Liu Miaomiao: "What a troublesome bunch of people!"

She sent the location of the neighborhood address.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Wasn't this supposed to be a restaurant? The location has been changed?

Chen Wenwen left a message saying that because she sprained her ankle, her parents were worried and, after discussing it, decided to change the celebration venue to their home.

Lu Mingfei had never met her parents, nor had he ever been to her home.

Chen Wenwen said, "I'm the first one to notify you."

Lu Mingfei: Okay.

The message was read almost immediately after it was sent. Chen Wenwen replied with "Okay, waiting for you."

Next, Lu Mingfei inquired about Chen Wenwen's injuries. She had been picked up by her parents in the afternoon and had taken a few days off.

Chen Wenwen said she can already walk on the ground and it's not a problem.

Lu Mingfei told him to get some rest.

Chen Wenwen replied with an "OK~" emoji.

Then, Lu Mingfei logged off and stopped paying attention. Old Tang wasn't online either; he was probably working.

He took out a few test papers from his schoolbag to relax.

He was determined to defeat Su Xiaoqiang in this monthly exam.

As for Chen Wenwen's birthday, he will go and join in the fun.

That's all.

In the infirmary, Lu Mingfei could easily see through Chen Wenwen's thoughts.

Everyone thinks Lu Mingfei is stupid, but he's just pretending.

For the past two years, Lu Mingfei has stubbornly believed that he loves Chen Wenwen and that this love will remain steadfast for a lifetime, even if Chen Wenwen marries someone else.

Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Mingfei possessed Cao Cao's ambitions but lacked his abilities, and was even less likely to act like Cao Cao.

Now that Lu Mingfei has calmed down and thought about it carefully, he feels that it's not quite the case.

He is no longer the penniless, pathetic kid he once was.

In the world of the script, she filled the void of maternal love, but in real life, she confronted her aunt, who was defeated and left her family home.

He also hired a super pretty girl as a tutor.

What is Lu Mingfei still lacking?

Anyway, we don't need another Chen Wenwen.

Without the filter of unrequited love, Lu Mingfei discovered that Chen Wenwen was actually nothing special.

At least in his eyes, she was no longer the most eye-catching flower among all the beauties.

He loves learning.

Friday, Shilan Secondary School.

During self-study, Lu Mingfei glanced at the weather by the window.

It was a summer morning, but the wind and clouds were blowing fiercely. A dark mountain range in the distance was slowly moving in, and the weather forecast indicated that there would be a heavy rainstorm today.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but recall the unprecedented torrential rain a few years ago. Typhoon "Dandelion" made landfall in Fuzhou, causing power outages in a quarter of the city, closing shopping malls and buildings, and sending schools off early.

Although he inevitably got soaked to the bone and had a fever for a few days after returning home.

At that moment, Lu Mingfei was thinking how wonderful it would be if a kind classmate with a private car could give him a ride.

But Lu Mingfei had no hope at all and simply rushed into the rain.
