“It’s really dangerous outside,” Xia Mi sighed. “It’s safer to stay at home.”
Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi sat on the chairs in the corridor and chatted for a while. Su Xiaoqiang's parents pushed open the door and came out. They had seen their daughter's medical report. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and she only needed to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover.
Su Xiaoqiang said that Lu Mingfei shielded her with his body and absorbed the vast majority of the impact. His back was practically made of steel.
After visiting their daughter, Su Xiaoqiang's parents also went to visit Uncle Chen, who had driven for them for over twenty years. He was in a worse state, suffering from multiple fractures and internal bleeding.
But there is no danger to his life.
Su Xiaoqiang's parents are wealthy and willing to pay all of Chen Bo's medical expenses during his hospital stay, as well as provide a considerable amount of compensation.
"Lu Mingfei, I'm entrusting my son Qiangqiang to your care for now. Come visit us when Qiangqiang is discharged from the hospital," Su Xiaoqiang's mother said to Lu Mingfei with a smile, speaking fluent Chinese.
Su Xiaoqiang's mother, Catalina Valentin, is a young and beautiful Portuguese woman of Chinese descent with a supermodel figure and a bright, generous smile. She seems more like an older sister than a mother.
As soon as Katalina stepped outside, she noticed Xia Mi and assumed she was her daughter's classmate. She was secretly surprised; this Lu Mingfei was quite the ladies' man.
We can't let our own ships be outdone.
Su Xiaoqiang's father's attitude was polite but distant. Although he was very grateful to Lu Mingfei for saving his daughter and planned to repay him, as a father, he naturally harbored hostility towards the blond-haired man who had abducted his daughter.
After Su Xiaoqiang's parents left, Su Xiaoqiang's voice calling for Lu Mingfei could be heard from the ward.
Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi went in together.
"Who are you?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Xia Mi.
"Xia Mi, a first-year high school student, is a good friend of my senior. When she heard that Sister Xiaoqiang had been in a car accident, she rushed over to visit her. Sister Xiaoqiang, are you alright?" Xia Mi asked softly.
"Good tea." X2
These are the heartfelt words from Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang.
Besides that, Su Xiaoqiang was also a little unsettled. She asked in confusion, "Senior brother? Which senior brother? Are you referring to Lu Mingfei?"
"That's right, that's right. Lu Mingfei is in the second year of high school, so naturally he's our senior."
Why don't you call me senior sister?
“Perhaps it’s because my relationship with my senior brother is closer.” Xia Mi pinched her chin.
"??"
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei quickly tried to smooth things over:
“Brother Qiang, Xia Mi and I each have our own way of addressing each other. She calls me senior brother, and I call her teacher.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoqiang became even more confused. Was this some kind of play she didn't know about?
However, Su Xiaoqiang understood why Lu Mingfei was no longer interested in Chen Wenwen. It turned out he was keeping such a beautiful...emm, such a petite, cute, and somewhat mischievous girl hidden away.
Xia Mi's beauty is a divine work of art imbued with spirit; even the usually arrogant Su Xiaoqiang had to admit that she could rival him in beauty.
The previous Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao were somewhat lacking. Although they were also good-looking, they made up for some of the numerical gap by using their respective specialties (literature or piano).
Su Xiaoqiang is a pure numerical monster, and today she met another numerical monster.
She was so engrossed in the territorial battles within the class that she completely overlooked the fact that there was such a formidable rival outside the class; the area outside the class was probably already the other party's territory.
Lu Mingfei explained to Su Xiaoqiang that he called her Teacher Xia Mi because she was his tutor.
Private tutor?
Looking for a female high school freshman?
Facing Su Xiaoqiang's suspicious gaze, Xia Mi stood with her hands behind her back and said calmly:
"It's been a few days since I told you about how I spent a month quickly mastering all the knowledge points for the entire senior year of high school..."
The claim that Xia Mi tried to conform to "common sense" was that she actually bought textbooks wholesale from street stalls for a few dollars, glanced at them, and learned them all.
What truly challenged the wise Professor Daye were the Ten Mathematical Conjectures.
But she wouldn't solve the mystery; otherwise, with the advancement of human mathematics and science, wouldn't she become an ally of the enemy? A traitor to the dragon?
If it weren't for her incomplete recovery of strength and lack of expertise in alchemy, Xia Mi would have learned from the Trisolaran civilization to make the total number of beings equal to 6, thus eliminating the existence of physics.
At that time, hmph, what will humans use to fight against the dragons?
Although Su Xiaoqiang felt that Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi's relationship was more than just that of senior and junior siblings and teacher and student, things had already come to this point, and she was hungry, so she decided to eat first to replenish her nutrition.
The meal was ordered by Su Xiaoqiang's parents from their usual restaurant. Since there was an extra Xia Mi, Su Xiaoqiang called to order another set meal.
Xia Mi thanked her repeatedly, calling her "sister" in a very sweet voice.
Half an hour later, the incredibly luxurious meal arrived, which included Australian lobster. Xia Mi had eaten it before, back when she was carefree in the sea, cosplaying as a sea snake, living a simple life, performing a performance of eating a whole blue whale every day.
But Ms. Yeh said that the endangered status of modern blue whales was none of her business.
In short, a person who works hard is driven by a strong work ethic.
Cooking rice
Su Xiaoqiang suddenly spoke up, saying that she had made some progress in finding a place to live.
Xia Mi quietly pricked up her ears, openly eavesdropping.
……
Chapter 28 The Dragon King's Son-in-Law: Lu Mingfei (Please continue reading)
"So efficient?" Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised; he had thought he would have to wait a while longer.
“When you went out, I asked my dad. He knows several real estate developers who have several vacant, high-quality properties under their umbrella,” Su Xiaoqiang said.
"Brother Qiang, you don't want me to become a mortgage slave at such a young age, do you? You're so heartless," Lu Mingfei said sadly.
"Since you don't want to be a mortgage slave, why don't you just find a rich woman to marry into her family? You won't even have to pay a dowry. They'll provide you with a house and a car."
Do you prefer a Bentley or a Maybach?
Su Xiaoqiang spoke calmly, as if discussing something unrelated to Lu Mingfei.
"Are these the generous terms your family is offering for a son-in-law who will live with you? I wonder which kid will get lucky," Lu Mingfei joked.
"It can't be Zhao Menghua anyway. He's a hypocrite and a real scoundrel. I despise him. His family would never agree to their son marrying into the family." Su Xiaoqiang curled her lips.
At this time, Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei were unaware of what had happened at Chen Wenwen's house.
Otherwise, Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei would have said in unison, "Zhao Menghua, looks like a meow."
"Senior brother, I think marrying into a higher social class is not advisable. Haven't you heard of it? After a son-in-law marries into a woman's family, his status in the family is lower than that of a dog. The woman's family treats the man like a slave and abuses him."
At this moment, Xia Mi tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve and said weakly, "Senior brother, let's not be slaves, okay?"
She even thought to herself that she would become the woman's slave to the stars, reduced to a ruthless pile driver on a construction site, which was truly pathetic.
"Xia Mi, you've gone too far," Su Xiaoqiang said unhappily. "After I get married, I'll move out and live my own life with the person I love. The groom won't have to worry about his parents making things difficult. Besides, my parents are very reasonable people."
Besides, I have more money than I can spend. I can hire a housekeeper; he won't need to clean or cook, and he won't need to go out to work. He can just stay home and be a stay-at-home husband. He can play games and watch videos all day, and come to keep me company in the evenings. I'll support him.”
After Su Xiaoqiang finished speaking, in Lu Mingfei's heart, she had changed from "Brother Qiang" to an absolutely wonderful woman.
But can Lu Mingfei live off a woman with a clear conscience?
My pride won't allow it, at least not right now.
Moreover, he felt he was just daydreaming, since he and Su Xiaoqiang had just become sworn brothers, sharing life and death and going through thick and thin together.
Their friendship was as strong as iron.
You smell so good, bro...
No! Lu Mingfei, how could you have such impure thoughts about your buddy?
Lu Mingfei inwardly berated himself.
Xia Mi, who was standing to the side, was tempted by the conditions offered by Su Xiaoqiang, let alone stopping Lu Mingfei.
Eating and drinking every day, just getting by and waiting to die, doesn't seem like a bad idea?
No, Xia Mi! You are Jormungandr, the Dragon King Jormungandr!
You bear the mission of reviving the dragon race and making it great again. How can you willingly degenerate? (bi) flesh resurrected?
At the very least... we should wait until after the revival before we can enjoy it.
In Xia Mi's mind, Su Xiaoqiang went from being a bad woman who seduced Lu Mingfei to a bad woman who seduced both of them, and even tried to corrupt her determination to restore the dragon slave system with material things!
Absolutely despicable!
Xia Mi bared her little tiger teeth and fiercely bit off a large piece of chicken leg meat, stuffing it into her mouth.
“You’ve all steered the conversation off-topic. Let’s get back to the main point,” Su Xiaoqiang said, seeing the conflicted expressions on the faces of the two senior and junior brothers. She adopted an old man’s expression and said, “Do you know Peacock Mansion? It’s that upscale residential area in the east of the city.”
Lu Mingfei shook his head very decisively:
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
“This is where I live!” Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile. “We’ve been deskmates for so long, and you still don’t know where I live?”
"Do I... do I need to know?" Lu Mingfei asked weakly. "Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I knew exactly where you lived?"
Su Xiaoqiang thought about it and agreed.
"In short, what I mean is that I'll buy you a detached villa there as a way of repaying you for saving me. After all, all I have left is money."
Lu Mingfei was startled. He had a poor man's mindset. A detached villa in a high-end neighborhood—how much would that cost? Millions? Tens of millions?
He saved Su Xiaoqiang out of kindness. If it were anyone else, Lu Mingfei wouldn't have let me run away alone.
Lu Mingfei's mindset is like this: he has always had the mindset of someone who needs to be saved.
Although he longs to be a savior like Agent 007, he also hopes that someone will come to rescue him from his pitiful and helpless state.
If the other party is stronger than him, he feels like a burden. The strong will always be stronger, and there is no need for him to be cannon fodder.
Things are different now; Lu Mingfei is now also one of the strong.
A weak body is unlikely to forge an iron will. Great strength, in turn, influences character, making it even stronger.
You shouldn't talk to a beggar about saving a collapsing building or turning the tide; that would make you seem hypocritical.
Of course, nothing is absolute. The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. This is merely a metaphor.
However, even if the ward is surrounded by monsters like Deadpool, and there is an important girl waiting for him to save her in the distance, he would kick open the door and set off without hesitation, like a hero, like a great saint riding on auspicious clouds.
