Having learned a painful lesson, Lu Mingfei developed the habit of checking the weather forecast before going out.
He brought an umbrella today and took a taxi to Chen Wenwen's house after school, but there will inevitably be times when he needs to use the umbrella.
Not many people attended Chen Wenwen's birthday party.
The literary society consists of eight members: president Chen Wenwen, vice president Lu Mingfei, Zhao Menghua, Su Xiaoqiang, and Liu Miaomiao.
Chen Wenwen's house must be quite large, otherwise it wouldn't have been an option.
The original plan was to go to karaoke after eating birthday cake, but it looks like that will have to be canceled.
Firstly, it's inconvenient for Chen Wenwen to move around, and secondly, it would be inconvenient to go over if it rained heavily.
Bringing his thoughts back, Lu Mingfei buried himself in his studies.
Su Xiaoqiang also changed his usual habit of slacking off during self-study and focused intently on studying a challenging math problem.
The homeroom teacher, who was supervising the self-study session from the podium, nodded secretly upon seeing this.
After observing for several days, the homeroom teacher confirmed that Lu Mingfei's enthusiasm was not just a passing fad, but that he had genuinely repented and was studying diligently, which also motivated his deskmate to pay attention to his studies.
With this intention in mind, even though Lu Ming did poorly on the monthly exam, the homeroom teacher still felt that Lu Ming was a promising student.
Of course, it would be best to win the class's Most Improved Student award.
Zhao Menghua's mind wasn't on studying. He glanced at the empty desk, where Chen Wenwen was still sitting, having asked for leave to attend class.
Zhao Menghua glanced at Lu Mingfei again, his disgust becoming even more obvious.
What is he pretending for?
Who are you putting on this for?
Zhao Menghua originally looked down on Lu Mingfei, but he also looked down on the other boys in the class, so it wasn't considered that he was targeting Lu Mingfei.
It's enough to play pranks occasionally for fun and to liven up the atmosphere.
Zhao Menghua knew that Lu Mingfei had a crush on Chen Wenwen, but he never paid any attention to it. Just as flowers need green leaves to set them off, Zhao Menghua magnanimously allowed Lu Mingfei to like Chen Wenwen.
However, things are different now. Zhao Menghua sensed a sense of crisis. Both Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang had changed their attitudes toward Lu Mingfei.
It's as if they have secrets they don't know about, and funny little things that happen between them that they don't know about.
Zhao Menghua's seemingly generous but actually petty side is revealed. He has never experienced any setbacks since childhood, and often assumes that he would possess certain excellent qualities under certain circumstances.
In reality, Zhao Menghua was not as strong as people imagined.
Zhao Menghua glanced down at the designer backpack at his feet, inside which was a gift he had carefully prepared, one that would definitely turn the tide and win a smile from the beauty.
This has nothing to do with pursuing Chen Wenwen anymore. Zhao Shao lives to prove himself, and he wants to use Chen Wenwen to thoroughly humiliate Lu Mingfei.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the heavy rain finally started, and many puddles accumulated on the playground.
Sometimes the wind howled, sometimes lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The students in the class were also unable to concentrate on the lesson; they felt a strange excitement about this extreme environment.
After school, the members of the literary club gathered together to discuss how to go to Chen Wenwen's house.
Zhao Menghua waved his hand, indicating that he had spoken to his family and that his company would send a car to pick them up.
Zhao Menghua's underlings naturally cheered, "Young Master Zhao is awesome!"
Soon, a black minivan entered the school and parked in front of the teaching building.
Everyone boarded the vehicle one after another, and then awkwardly discovered that the 7-seater van already had six people: the driver, Zhao Menghua, Xu Yanyan, Xu Miaomiao, Liu Miaomiao, and extra Jia. There was only one seat left, and Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were the only ones who hadn't boarded yet.
Who will be left behind?
That's so hard to guess.
Lu Mingfei smiled calmly: "You guys go ahead, I'll take a taxi there."
“No need, come with me, I’ll give you a ride. Uncle Chen will be here soon.” Su Xiaoqiang spoke up then, glancing at Zhao Menghua with disappointment in her eyes, “Zhao Menghua, you didn’t plan carefully enough.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Menghua, for reasons unknown, said, "It's my fault; I actually forgot about Lu Mingfei."
Then he said to Lu Mingfei, "This time it's on me. I'll treat you to fried chicken later. I remember you love fried chicken the most. Eating fried chicken is as blissful as eating delicacies."
A certain Dragon King: ...Thank you, but I feel like I've been personally attacked.
"I need to treat Su Xiaoqiang to milk tea. Thanks for giving me a ride." Lu Mingfei didn't look at Zhao Menghua, but instead looked at the girl beside him.
“Okay, same old place,” Su Xiaoqiang said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Menghua realized it was yet another secret he didn't know, and his face immediately darkened.
But he had to maintain his composure in front of his classmates, so he said with a forced smile, "Then I'll trouble Miss Su to escort Lu Mingfei along the way. Please be careful on the road. We'll be going now."
At this moment, Liu Miaomiao, who was sitting in the last row, really wanted to speak up: Why don't I ride in the same car as Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei?
She could smell the tension at the scene, and the oppressive atmosphere inside the car made her a little scared.
But as she spoke slowly and the car started moving, Liu Miaomiao found it difficult to continue, so she swallowed her words and turned to look through the rearview window, watching Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang's figures grow further and further away.
Ugh.
The little devil in Liu Miaomiao's heart sighed.
This is so troublesome.
I want to be a complete bystander.
On the other side, Lu Mingfei thanked Su Xiaoqiang again, and Su Xiaoqiang said no need to thank him. After a while, she suddenly cursed Zhao Menghua as a real bastard.
Lu Mingfei nodded in agreement, joining forces with Su Xiaoqiang.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiaoqiang's Bentley arrived, and she and Lu Mingfei sat in the back.
The car slowly started moving towards Chen Wenwen's home.
Half an hour later, perhaps due to the heavy rain and a traffic accident that occurred ahead, there was a severe traffic jam.
Uncle Chen said he knew a shortcut that involved taking the overpass and asked if Miss wanted to go there.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.
So the Bentley changed course and drove in another direction...
Chapter 21 Lu Mingfei's First Global Escape (Please Read On)
Rainy night, overpass, Bentley.
"It's a pity, it would have been better if you had continued to like Chen Wenwen."
The rain pattered against the car window. In the back seat of the black Bentley, Su Xiaoqiang uttered this sigh.
"Would you help me take down Zhao Menghua?" Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly.
“This joke isn’t funny.” Su Xiaoqiang pouted. “I’ve lost interest in him; I have no feelings for him anymore.”
Not long ago, she saw Zhao Menghua deliberately making things difficult for Lu Mingfei and being sarcastic and irritating. She was inexplicably annoyed and felt very disappointed in him.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Menghua had often teased and embarrassed Lu Mingfei in the past.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't kick Lu Mingfei when he was down, but she would occasionally make a few sarcastic remarks about him, acting as an observer.
At that time, Su Xiaoqiang did not seem disappointed in Zhao Menghua; on the contrary, she was always disappointed in Lu Mingfei.
Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva said that it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Su Xiaoqiang disliked Lu Mingfei's lack of self-respect; why should she help someone who didn't care about himself?
It's one thing that Lu Mingfei didn't ask her for help, but it's another thing that Su Xiaoqiang felt Lu Mingfei deserved to suffer.
If you are bullied, you should fight back fiercely. Two fists can't beat four hands, but people still have teeth and the courage of a common man.
Su Xiaoqiang has lived in a privileged environment since childhood, otherwise she wouldn't have the title of "Little Celestial Girl," which is actually similar to "Little Princess."
It sounds somewhat spoiled and willful, with a slightly derogatory connotation.
The little celestial maiden is always high above, unaware of the hardships of the mortal world.
Su Xiaoqiang was born to his father late in life, and he was spoiled rotten and almost never suffered any grievances.
She could sympathize with or despise Lu Mingfei's plight, but she found it difficult to truly understand his experience.
In Su Xiaoqiang's mind, being bold in love and hate, and taking responsibility for one's actions, means there's nothing that courage can't solve. The rest will naturally be handled by others.
But Lu Mingfei is different. He lived under someone else's roof, and his cowardly character was gradually developed.
When Lu Mingfei's parents were humiliated in junior high school, he dared to throw punches just as Su Xiaoqiang had hoped. If he couldn't beat them, he would bite them with his teeth, like an angry lion that had been offended.
The results of it?
Despite being in the right, his aunt forced him to bow his head and apologize, almost making him kneel down. In the end, he even helped her with cleaning duties for a week.
Who can stand up for him? Who can save that boy who seems to be the enemy of the whole world?
The idea of being an enemy of the world is a somewhat childish expression, but this childishness cannot conceal the loneliness in Lu Mingfei's heart at the age of fourteen.
As Lu Xun once said, "Either erupt in silence, or become perverted in silence."
Lu Mingfei, who was originally an eagle capable of soaring through the sky, is now no different from a crouching chicken or dog, and the "cocoon" that hatched the dragon has developed severely deformed internally.
Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei did not attend the same junior high school, nor were they in the same class.
Given her personality, she would admire Lu Mingfei even more and stand up for him even more than she does now.
Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs," and Su Xiaoqiang's misunderstanding of Lu Mingfei, which began when Lu Mingfei said Chen Wenwen was prettier than her when they entered high school, has continued to this day.
Now that Lu Mingfei has changed, Su Xiaoqiang's attitude towards him has also subtly changed, with some emotions hidden deep in her heart and even unnoticed by herself sprouting and taking root.
Often, feelings need a catalyst. Without that catalyst, you might never discover them in your entire life.
Therefore, marriage is all about fate.
Gu Long once wrote: Once a woman has decided on someone as her own, she will not ask whether she is right or wrong, but only whether she is on the right side.
In other words, women's protectiveness of their own is unreasonable.
Since Zhao Menghua, whom she didn't particularly like to begin with, was deliberately making things difficult for Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang inevitably felt annoyed.
She explained why she hoped Lu Mingfei would continue to like Chen Wenwen:
"It's an open secret that Zhao Menghua likes Chen Wenwen. Just imagine how funny it would be if you won Chen Wenwen over and saw how furious he got."
