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

Lu Mingfei tiptoed to the door, opened it a crack, and saw his aunt carrying a suitcase and several bags, while his uncle stood in front of her, pleading desperately.

Lu Mingfei deduced that his aunt was going back to her parents' home.

Uncle's "experience card" as the head of the family has expired, and he's back to being henpecked. He says his wife isn't that bad. He'll wait until Mingze and Mingfei wake up, talk things out, and clear up the misunderstanding. Why did you have to...?

The aunt interrupted the uncle, her neck stiff as she said, "It's one thing for Lu Mingfei to bully Mingze, but it's another thing for him to be unruly. Haven't you noticed that Lu Mingfei has changed? He's become unruly and dares to talk back to his elder! He dares to hit Lu Mingze today, and he'll dare to kill his aunt tomorrow!"

Lu Gucheng! If you're a man, you should stand up for your wife and son, not take the side of an outsider!

You're a spineless bastard! I was blind to have married you! You were out of your mind!

"I'm no match for that plague god, can't I even run away in time?"

Chapter 8 Chen Wenwen's Birthday

This is actually the aunt's wisdom in the power struggle within the family. She retreats to advance, afraid that Lu Mingfei would bring up the issue of child support, so she simply doesn't give him a reason to speak, and incidentally establishes the persona of a pitiful girl who has an unfilial son and has been driven back to her parents' home in anger.

When Lu Mingfei heard his aunt bluntly call him an outsider, he snorted, but his heart wasn't stirred much. After all these years, his aunt had finally broken through that barrier.

To be honest, he had hoped to integrate into his uncle and aunt's family, but no matter how hard he tried to please them, he would always upset his aunt.

Later, Lu Mingfei realized that his aunt genuinely disliked him.

When Lu Gucheng heard his wife say that, he knew that if he continued to stop her, he would only see her throwing a tantrum, and he would be doomed for life. So he let her go.

The aunt, pulling her suitcase, took a few steps, then, seeing that Lu Gucheng didn't respond, frowned and scolded, "Hurry up and help me with my bag! Do you expect me to take a taxi back to my parents' house?"

Lu Gucheng gave a few bitter laughs, did not resist, and complied.

But he didn't really want to drive her back, because he knew his wife's brothers were no pushovers either.

The tragedy of middle-aged men: facing difficult bosses at work and a chaotic family life.

Isn't Lu Gucheng just a grown-up version of Lu Mingfei?

Lu Mingfei thought he was just an ordinary person and only wanted to live an ordinary life. But is an ordinary life really that easy?

Everyone is trying their best to live.

Lu Mingfei silently witnessed all of this. He felt sorry for his uncle's situation and realized a truth: he must find a gentle and virtuous wife!

Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.

After his uncle and aunt left, Lu Mingfei also left the room, washed up, and went to school. He ate a bowl of salted tofu pudding on the street for breakfast.

Lu Mingze was still fast asleep, humming softly as if he were having a nightmare.

……

Early morning, Shilan Middle School.

Lu Mingfei arrived at the classroom early and pushed open the door to see Liu Miaomiao cleaning the blackboard by herself. She was slightly tiptoeing and gently wiping the blackboard.

Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao didn't have much contact, but their relationship was more normal than that of Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang.

The former is a lovesick simp, while the latter has a bit of a bickering couple vibe, constantly arguing and never saying anything nice.

However, Liu Miaomiao has a calm and easy-going personality and will not cause any trouble. Compared with the two class beauties, Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang, she is somewhat invisible.

Of course, there are still a lot of people who secretly admire her, and she is known as the "Little Piano Beauty".

Lu Mingfei remembered that once, out of sheer boredom, he casually asked Liu Miaomiao how to practice the piano.

Liu Miaomiao said that practicing the piano is very hard, and one has to work hard to strengthen finger strength from a young age. As she spoke, she raised her hand and forcefully tapped out a few measures on the glass window with one hand, the force of her fingertips making the glass vibrate slightly.

Lu Mingfei tried to imitate her, but he couldn't hit the same force at all.

Now, Lu Mingfei recalled the task assigned by the system: "[Liu Miaomiao's little hands, so lovely]". His gaze involuntarily fell on Liu Miaomiao's little hands holding the blackboard eraser. Her hands were fair and jade-like, slender and graceful. A little chalk dust settled on the back of her hands, making them look like a dusty work of art.

Lu Mingfei isn't a hand fetishist; after all, he doesn't share the same surname as Kira.

But at that moment, he suddenly understood why some people liked the hands—the fair, delicate hands of someone playing the piano, and he wondered why they would suck on them…

Cough!

Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly, "What's wrong with him? This is too dazzling and oppressive!"

Dragons are inherently silver, so why is Lu Mingfei a little repressed after awakening his bloodline?

Once he fully awakens, it will be like, "Next, you will witness a dazzling and oppressive spectacle beyond your wildest imagination!" (not really)

Just then, Liu Miaomiao finished wiping the blackboard and put down her shoes. She turned her head and saw Lu Mingfei. She brushed the strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek and said with some surprise, "Lu Mingfei, you're here quite early today?"

"I went to bed early yesterday, so I naturally woke up early today. I've found that going to bed early and waking up early really does have its benefits; my mind is much clearer. I'll keep it up more often in the future," Lu Mingfei said.

He couldn't very well admit that he was woken up early in the morning by the noise his aunt made when she went back to her parents' home, could he?

Liu Miaomiao smiled and said softly, "Then you'd better try your best. Going to bed early and getting up early sounds simple, but it's hard to do."

However, once is never enough; I believe in you, Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought that Liu Miaomiao would make sarcastic remarks or not believe it at all, just like the others.

For example, with Qiang Ge, all she does is yell, "If you can go to bed early and get up early for more than half a month, I'll wash my hair backwards!"

That's some serious nonsense from Qiang Ge!

But Liu Miaomiao is different.

However, Lu Mingfei did not give up because of this, believing that Liu Miaomiao had feelings for him that went beyond friendship.

Liu Miaomiao's personality is like that; she's a bit naive and always has a kind and gentle demeanor towards everyone.

This is somewhat different from Chen Wenwen's "gentle and pleasant" manner. What exactly is the difference? Lu Mingfei was too lazy to delve into it, leaving it to his heart to judge.

Getting back to the point, Lu Mingfei hummed in agreement and asked if there was anything he could help with.

Liu Miaomiao shook her head. She was in charge of wiping the blackboard, which was one of the easier tasks on duty. The student who was mopping the floor had gone to the toilet to rinse the mop and hadn't returned yet.

"By the way, Lu Mingfei, it's the president's birthday in a few days. Have you thought about what gift to give him? I can give you some suggestions," Liu Miaomiao said.

The president of the literary society is Chen Wenwen, and Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao are both members of the literary society.

Without Liu Miaomiao's reminder, Lu Mingfei would have almost forgotten about this.

The main problem is that he spent three months in the script world, and when he returned to the real world, the months didn't match up, so the time difference wasn't reversed.

"As for gifts... I don't know either," Lu Mingfei said.

He had given Chen Wenwen a birthday present before, a hair clip that he had carefully selected with his long-saved allowance. Lu Mingfei never saw Chen Wenwen wear it after that.

In the world of the script, Lu Mingfei made his handwritten letters with Chen Wenwen into a gift and gave it to her.

He remembered that after Chen Wenwen received it, she held it to her chest and said gently that she would cherish it and hoped to show it to everyone in the future.

Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen are not pen pals now, so there is no material to make a gift.

Lu Mingfei was also at a loss as to what birthday gift to give Chen Wenwen, so he turned to Liu Miaomiao and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Liu Miaomiao spread her hands, indicating that she didn't know.

"By the way, Zhao Menghua created a group chat. Did you join? I didn't see you there," Liu Miaomiao said.

"What group?" Lu Mingfei asked in surprise.

"It was a group chat that Zhao Menghua created specifically for Chen Wenwen's birthday, and he added all the members except the president to it."

"So he forgot about me, the vice president," Lu Mingfei said casually.

Liu Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "I'll add you to the group."

"No need," Lu Mingfei waved his hand in refusal. "It's just a birthday gift between classmates. Let them make their fuss, I'll give mine. A gift of a goose feather from afar is a small gift but carries great meaning."

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao's eyes flickered. She knew that Lu Mingfei had a crush on Chen Wenwen, and she thought he would be extra attentive to Chen Wenwen's birthday, even to the point of being overly concerned. However, she did not expect him to be so open and generous.

“Lu Mingfei, you seem to have changed a bit,” Liu Miaomiao said.

"What has changed?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Liu Miaomiao didn't answer. She looked past Lu Mingfei to her classmate behind her, who was carrying a mop and looking very imposing, and said, "I have to continue my duty."

Lu Mingfei said "oh" and returned to his seat to concentrate on his studies.

Liu Miaomiao went to the back of the classroom and erased the blackboard bulletin board, replacing it with a new one.

She raised her hand to wipe the blackboard, then suddenly turned around, glanced at Lu Mingfei's serious and focused profile, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

It wasn't that she was attracted by Lu Mingfei's charm or that her heart fluttered.

Liu Miaomiao had a hunch that what was to come might be quite interesting, and that she would see something interesting at Chen Wenwen's birthday party.

Actually, Liu Miaomiao wasn't entirely a well-behaved child.

……

Chapter 9 Xia Mi: "I'm so hungry..."

When people are focused on doing something and enter a state of flow, time flies by, and before they know it, the day is over.

During his day at Shilan Middle School, aside from eating and using the restroom, Lu Mingfei spent most of his time studying.

As for striking up a conversation with Chen Wenwen?

It wastes his precious study time.

Su Xiaoqiang, who sat next to her deskmate, would glance at her from time to time, wondering to herself if Xiao Lu had been cursed.

As the saying goes, everyone has a short attention span.

According to Su Xiaoqiang's understanding of Lu Mingfei, this guy doesn't even have a three-minute attention span. Once he decides that something is impossible, he will give up completely and won't even try.

It's annoying to look at.

She's been able to tolerate Lu Mingfei's behavior as his deskmate until now, without kicking him away. She's truly an incredibly good girl.

Besides Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang also noticed a subtle change in another person, Chen Wenwen.

If it wasn't a misperception, Su Xiaoqiang keenly noticed that during the eight classes a day, Chen Wenwen would steal a glance at her twice per class.

Putting aside Chen Wenwen's gender and sexual orientation, one can only say that she was stalking Lu Mingfei...

ha?

Su Xiaoqiang strongly suspected that something had happened between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, but she had no clue whatsoever, which made her extremely anxious.
