Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, let them live with regrets for the rest of their lives.

Lu Mingfei: "...?"

Chapter 24 Chen Wenwen's Repressed and Crazy Fantasies (Please Read On)

At 19:00 PM Beijing time, the rain continued unabated at Chen Wenwen's home.

Since everyone is a student, staying until midnight is too late, so we changed it to a regular mealtime.

Everyone from the literary society, except for Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang who had mysteriously disappeared, had arrived.

Chen Wenwen's parents warmly welcomed their daughter's classmates.

The family environment and atmosphere must be quite good to raise such a well-mannered girl as Chen Wenwen.

Although they can't compare to real young masters and ladies like Zhao Menghua and Su Xiaoqiang, their parents are both senior executives in companies, and they live a comfortable life.

They took a day off specifically for their daughter's birthday.

Early in the morning, Mr. Chen was busy setting up the venue, and the colorful decorations filled the house with joy.

Chen's mother prepared a table full of delicious dishes, but because not all the guests had arrived, they were temporarily stored in the kitchen.

Everyone stayed in the living room chatting and eating sunflower seeds.

Xu Yanyan patted her large stomach and complained, "Why hasn't Lu Mingfei arrived yet? If he's not here, what am I going to eat?"

Xu Miaomiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, what should we eat?"

Liu Miaomiao found a quiet corner to sit quietly, listened to the Xu brothers' complaints, and then said after thinking for a moment, "Maybe there's a traffic jam on the way. Let's wait a bit longer."

As the main character of the birthday party, Chen Wenwen was clearly distracted. She silently watched Zhao Menghua chatting attentively with her parents and making them laugh from time to time, but she couldn't feel happy herself.

Chen Wenwen couldn't help but wonder why Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang hadn't arrived yet.

It just so happens to be the two of them.

What are they doing right now? Are they really on their way home?

Could something unexpected happen after the rain?

Chen Wenwen's thoughts kept racing in a dangerous direction. She pursed her lower lip, her eyes filled with deep gloom.

Literary books often contain descriptions that are appropriate for adults, and many award-winning masterpieces contain several passages that are not suitable for children.

For example, Haruki Murakami's *Norwegian Wood*, Junichi Watanabe's *Paradise Lost*, Gabriel García Márquez's *Love in the Time of Cholera*, D.H. Lawrence's *Sons and Lovers*, *Lady Chatterley's Lover*...

But can you compare him to Liu Bei?

No.

Because this is art!

If the goal is to serve the themes of literature and humanity, physical book publishing is more tolerant of adult relationships than online serialization. Chen Wenwen rarely reads books online and mainly reads physical books.

As a literary young woman who read extensively, especially foreign classics, her fantasies, even tinged with crimson and milky white, were romantic, sacred, and imbued with a certain metaphor.

The metaphor is that Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang are having an affair and developing a romantic, sacred adult relationship.

Chen Wenwen: "..."

She hates her own imagination!

Lu Mingfei wasn't satisfied with just Xia Mi; he also set his sights on Su Xiaoqiang, openly having his cake and eating it too.

What a scumbag!

But you know what, sometimes good girls are easily attracted to bad boys.

It stems from the usual repression and restraint; the more one lacks something, the more easily one is attracted to what others possess.

In addition, people are always curious about the unknown, so some people will make mistakes.

But I'll say it again: you're with that blond guy, how dare you call yourself a good girl?

Is Chen Wenwen a good girl?

At least she believed that Lu Mingfei wasn't a blond-haired guy, but Xia Mi and Su Xiaoqiang were, and they were the ones who were trying to show off to her.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death is not in Chen Wenwen's nature. She is a strong-willed woman with a hidden desire for control, so she decides to call Lu Mingfei first.

But don't misunderstand, Chen Wenwen wasn't there to question him, she was just concerned about where Lu Mingfei was, and incidentally asked Su Xiaoqiang to speak up.

Judging from their voices what they are doing and their relationship.

Chen Wenwen took out her phone, and it rang. She was slightly taken aback; she hadn't made the call yet, and it was Lu Mingfei who had contacted her.

Chen Wenwen's face showed obvious joy.

The ringing of the phone attracted the attention of the previously noisy crowd. Mr. and Mrs. Chen and Zhao Menghua stopped chatting, Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao stopped eating sunflower seeds to stave off their hunger, Liu Miaomiao stopped playing cat's cradle by herself, and the extra Jia... well, we don't need to worry about him.

Everyone's eyes were on Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen took a deep breath, clicked to answer the call, and held the phone to her ear.

“Chen Wenwen…”

"I'm here."

"Su Xiaoqiang and I are at the hospital."

Chen Wenwen: ? ?

No matter how much she fantasized, she dared not imagine Su Xiaoqiang getting pregnant and going to the hospital to give birth.

She had fantasized about getting pregnant unexpectedly, and Lu Mingfei cruelly telling her to abort it, leaving her to go to the hospital alone, crying helplessly, touching the baby in her belly and saying, "Baby, your father is so heartless, and your mother hates you so much."

Over the phone, Lu Mingfei explained that they had been in a car accident and that he, Su Xiaoqiang, and driver Chen Bo were undergoing examinations at the hospital.

"Mingfei, are you alright?" Chen Wenwen's face turned pale instantly, and she instinctively gripped her phone tightly.

“I’m alright, I just got a minor scrape from a stray cat. Su Xiaoqiang has a concussion, and Uncle Chen’s condition is a bit more serious; he needs to be hospitalized for treatment,” Lu Mingfei said.

Chen Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Lu Mingfei was safe and sound, but she couldn't help but fantasize again.

I got a minor scratch from a stray cat... Could this be some kind of metaphor?

Is the stray cat Su Xiaoqiang? She got a scrape...

What are you doing?

Chen Wenwen's face turned ugly.

She didn't laugh at Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang's intimacy.

Lu Mingfei did use a metaphor, but Wildcat is a 2.5-meter-tall, big guy who can lift a van and tear apart steel with his bare hands.

"I'm sorry, Su Xiaoqiang and I probably can't come to your house to celebrate your birthday. We've prepared a gift, and we'll give it to you together when you go back to school."

Happy birthday, Chen Wenwen.

"...Yes, thank you."

"If you are well, then my world is sunny." Chen Wenwen thought to herself.

Now everyone knows why Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang didn't come.

Zhao Menghua secretly cheered; he deserved the car accident for offending him!

He was a kind-hearted person and didn't want Lu Mingfei to be hit by a car and die, but it was inevitable that he would be disabled.

However, Zhao Menghua failed to manage his facial expressions well. Chen Wenwen caught the joy in his eyes and the slight upturn of his lips, and immediately felt a deep sense of disgust.

Why couldn't it be him who got hit by the car?

Xu Yanyan said, "Since things have come to this, let's eat first."

Anyway, he heard on the phone that Lu Mingfei was perfectly fine. If he had died, he could still have a feast.

Chen Wenwen is celebrating her birthday today, and she said the dishes can only be served when they are ready. Everyone is waiting for Chen Wenwen's opinion.

Chen Wenwen said, "You guys eat first, I'm going to the hospital to visit... Su Xiaoqiang."

Zhao Menghua's face turned green upon hearing this.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Mr. Chen tried to smooth things over: "Wenwen, it's still raining heavily. Since your classmate said it's okay, let's wait for the rain to stop, and I'll drive you there. Everyone is waiting for you to blow out the birthday candles."

Chen Wenwen realized that what she had just said was not quite right, so she nodded slightly.

Serving food, moving the birthday cake, blowing out candles, and giving gifts.

Liu Miaomiao gave Chen Wenwen a new yak horn comb that she had bought from Jiuzhaigou. It felt warm to the touch, had natural textures and blood vessels, and was not expensive, costing just over eighty yuan. It was a suitable gift between classmates.

Chen Wenwen said thank you.

Zhao Menghua made his grand entrance last with a carefully prepared gift, which was beautifully packaged in a gift box.

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao played along perfectly, asking what the boss had given the club president. "It looks really high-class."

Zhao Menghua was pleased with himself and asked Chen Wenwen to personally untie the blue velvet bow and open the gift box.

Chen Wenwen said "Oh" and opened the gift box in front of everyone.

Chapter 25 Zhao Menghua's Shattered Dao Heart (Please continue reading)

Inside the box is a European-style retro music box.

The gilded carvings paired with the solid wood base showcase exquisite craftsmanship and superior quality.

Wind up the clockwork, and a clear, melodious tune slowly rises, causing the box-shaped ornament to rotate gently in time with the music, exuding elegance.

Zhao Menghua smiled and said, "I specially chose a handmade style, a classic design. I've already adjusted it, thinking you'd like it."

Chen Wenwen stared at the exquisite music box in silence.

She recognized the music as a classic piano piece, "Für Elise".

Originally titled "To Theresa," it was a piece Beethoven wrote at the age of 40 for his 18-year-old student Theresa Malfatti. However, it was mistakenly referred to as "To Alice" in its circulation.

However, it's not a big problem. There was also a teacher in history who fell in love with a student who was much younger than him. At that time, the teacher was 30 years old and the student was 10 years old.

Oh sir, that's going to be quite an electric shock.

The student's name was Alice, and the teacher was Lewis Carroll, who later created the classic fairy tale "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Returning to the piece, "Für Elise" has a romantic and gentle melody, carrying a hint of Beethoven's love for Theresa, who was 22 years his junior.
