Lu Mingfei said "Oh," walked into the living room, placed the plastic bag containing fruit on the coffee table, and while Xia Mi took the fruit out to the kitchen to wash it, he discreetly looked around Xia Mi's house.
The house was an old-fashioned two-bedroom apartment with yellowed walls. The living room had an old wooden table and a faded fabric sofa, with homework piled on the table.
It seems Xia Mi has been working very hard to better assist him in teaching. Lu Mingfei thought to himself.
There are two bedrooms, one large and one small. According to Xia Mi, the smaller one is used as a storage room and is filled with a bunch of messy things.
Lu Mingfei needs to clear out the space before moving in.
The larger room was naturally Xia Mi's boudoir. The door was not closed, and from Lu Mingfei's perspective, a corner of Xia Mi's room could be seen.
Everything was neatly arranged, the blankets on the bed were spotless white, but there was a little blue and white thing on them...
Lu Mingfei decisively withdrew his gaze and silently recited "Don't look at what is improper" a few times.
It's normal for Xia Mi to leave some personal clothing at home when she lives alone, but she'll have to be more careful when he moves in.
You can test humanity, but you can't test animality.
Lu Mingfei still cherishes his relationship with Xia Mi, which is that of a senior and junior brother.
At this moment, Xia Mi came out of the kitchen, with two washed red apples on the fruit plate, still damp with water droplets.
"Here, senior brother, have an apple. Is it washed, or do you want it peeled?" Xia Mi handed Lu Mingfei an apple.
"I like to eat it with the skin on." Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi's loungewear dress, thanked her, took it, and took a bite.
Mmm, apple flavor.
There's nothing special about it, and Xia Mi won't cast any magic spells to make apples taste better.
Next, Lu Mingfei told Xia Mi about Chu Zihang's situation and discussed it with the girl.
Xia Mi stroked her chin and said, "Chu Zihang... what's your idea, Senior Brother?"
Lu Mingfei briefly explained his plan to Xia Mi, who nodded in agreement: "Then let Chu Zihang contact Kassel College. He has some lingering issues from the past."
"You seem to know Chu Zihang very well?"
"Huh? Is Senior Brother jealous? Hehe, I was just saying it casually."
"Don't you think the line 'There's something in the past you can't let go of' is very touching?" Xia Mi said with a smile.
Lu Mingfei shook his head, took out his phone, and called Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng thought it was Lu Mingfei asking Lu Lincheng and his wife if they could pick up their son from afar, but it turned out to be Chu Zihang.
Ye Sheng really didn't know that Chu Zihang was of mixed race.
The reason Chu Zihang was so attached to Kassel College was because he had seen the World Tree emblem on his father's black suitcase years ago, and judged that his father had a close relationship with Kassel College.
In reality, Chu Tianjiao is an S-level specialist in the Executive Department of Kassel College. His file is sealed, and he secretly infiltrates Rongcheng to complete a protracted S-level mission.
This was done very discreetly, arranged by Angers alone, and very few people knew about it. It's normal that Ye Sheng didn't know about it.
As a powerful force, Kassel College was quite willing to accept the advances of mixed-race individuals from outside.
They will not only cooperate with mixed-race families, with the families providing high-quality students, but the Kassel College will also prune and cultivate them into talents.
At the same time, Kassel College will also adopt orphans of blood from all over the world, bring them back to the college and raise them carefully. These people will grow up to become the college's most loyal assassins.
Dragons have assassins, and hybrids also have assassins.
Ye Sheng said he would report the matter and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, an interview would be arranged; he would wait for further notice.
Lu Mingfei then asked about his parents, who were also waiting for notification.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei glanced at the old-fashioned clock on the wall. It was 19:10 PM, and he could definitely wait until Xue Yikun was ready to go back to his aunt's house.
He took out the test papers one by one from his schoolbag. Xia Mi, who was eating an apple next to him, sighed softly when she saw this.
This child really loves learning.
A man and a woman alone in a room, wouldn't they think of something else?
Her bedroom has a thrilling and exciting game of... Ludo.
Playing Ludo alone is too boring.
Study, study, study...
Xia Mi had to cook after studying for half the exam, leaving Lu Mingfei to work on his practice papers alone. There were still several exams tomorrow; he couldn't be careless or let his guard down.
Lu Mingfei entered a state of flow, completely absorbed in knowledge.
Suddenly, a fragrant aroma caught his nose, pulling him back to reality. Looking up, he saw a girl wearing an apron carrying a small pot out.
"Haha, here comes the chicken soup."
Chapter 41 Xia Mi: "Lu Mingfei, don't let me down" (Please continue reading)
"Studying must be tiring. Here, have a bowl of chicken soup to nourish yourself." Xia Mi served Lu Mingfei a bowl of chicken soup.
The chicken soup is golden in color and has a wonderful aroma.
Lu Mingfei thanked her, took a sip, and wondered what ingredients Xia Mi had used. It was refreshing and not greasy at all, and tasted very good.
"How was it?" Xia Mi asked with a smile.
"This is the best chicken soup I've ever had," Lu Mingfei said sincerely, without any pretense or politeness. "I could easily finish two big bowls."
"Senior brother, this is the last bowl of chicken soup you'll ever drink in your life." Xia Mi said quietly, her face seemingly shrouded in a shadow of conspiracy.
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.
"You wouldn't believe it, senior brother, but I put poison in the chicken soup. In less than three minutes, you'll die from the poison rotting through your intestines and bleeding from all seven orifices. Your death will be quite gruesome."
Lu Mingfei's expression stiffened slightly.
"puff"
Xia Milong, whose attributes are not resistant to tension, burst into laughter, like a nightingale.
In front of Lu Mingfei, she ladled herself a bowl of chicken soup and put it in her mouth to prove that she hadn't poisoned it.
“I was just kidding,” Xia Mi said.
“I believe that Teacher Daye has no reason to harm me. However, your tone and expression just now seemed so real that it was hard to tell.”
"Teacher Da Ye, you should consider entering the entertainment industry in the future. An Oscar for Best Actress is within your grasp sooner or later," Lu Mingfei said half-jokingly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"You flatter me. My junior sister's motto is: In this world, everything depends on acting skills!"
"But I did add a tiny pinch of something that no one else has to the chicken soup. That tiny pinch makes the chicken soup even more delicious and nutritious. This is a truly perfect tonic soup," Xia Mi said mysteriously with a grin.
"So what is it?" Lu Mingfei was worried that Xia Mi had added ice, otherwise why would it taste so intoxicating, making his body feel warm and hot?
"It's a secret. This is Xia Mi's family's exclusive recipe, the foundation of my livelihood, and I can't just reveal it casually."
"Senior brother, I'm very insecure and don't easily trust others," Xia Mi said with a smile. "But I trust you now, and I hope you won't let me down."
Otherwise... the price of betraying me would be extremely high, and my senior brother might not be able to afford it.
I wonder how much of Xia Mi's words were acting, and how much were genuine.
In response, Lu Mingfei chose to follow his heart.
As long as you have inner peace and physical comfort, that's good.
He was also hiding some little secrets.
If we want to get to the bottom of things, we should investigate thoroughly.
They're either scoundrels or have such a close relationship that they're completely open with each other.
It was also influenced by the prevailing social trends.
If Lu Mingfei had been born a few years earlier or later, let alone cohabiting, he wouldn't even dare to be alone with Xia Mi. He would have been extremely cautious about avoiding emergencies.
After enjoying a delicious chicken soup with the secret ingredients prepared by Teacher Daye, Lu Mingfei's fatigue from working on exam papers vanished, and he was fully recharged.
He even thought that Su Xiaoqiang's abalone was nothing special.
What a scumbag!
It refers to being indecisive or half-hearted when it comes to food.
After dinner, Xia Mi got up to clear the dishes and take them to the kitchen. Lu Mingfei ran over to help wash the dishes, but Xia Mi smiled and politely declined, pushing him back to the living room so that Lu Mingfei could focus on his studies.
Lu Mingfei inexplicably had the strange feeling that his mother was urging him to study.
And, Teacher Daye is quite energetic too.
Lu Mingfei thought that after he moved in, he might have to trouble Xia Mi with the food problem.
Although he is capable in the kitchen, after eating Xia Mi's cooking tonight, there's really no need to torture her stomach.
However, he has to pay for the food, and he can also do things like washing and preparing vegetables.
In short, Lu Mingfei couldn't accept Xia Mi's care with a clear conscience, watching her busy herself while he just lazed around doing nothing.
Why bother her so much? Is Xia Mi her mother?
At his aunt's house, his aunt always scolded Lu Mingfei for being lazy and gluttonous, often forgetting to pick vegetables as instructed.
Lu Mingfei wasn't lazy; he was just inherently resistant.
For those who treat him well, even if it's just a gesture or a vague promise, Lu Mingfei is willing to endure all the hardships.
On the contrary... haha.
Lu Mingfei hates being treated differently and is indignant about prejudice and injustice. Who would want to live in misery forever?
At this moment, Lu Mingfei stood up to digest his food. The warm light from the ceiling lamp illuminated the furniture in the living room, adding a touch of coziness to the space.
The boy heard the sound of running water from the kitchen tap and knew that Xia Mi was there, and felt a strange sense of peace.
This was his first time visiting Xia Mi's home, and many things looked unfamiliar to him.
However, Lu Mingfei's heart has already settled here, and it feels more like home than the "home" he lived in for six years.
Lu Mingfei looked out the window and realized that he could easily see the school playground from Xia Mi's house.
Night had fallen, and only a few lights shone on the playground; there was no one there now.
It's a school district property, so the rent will naturally be higher.
