Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

When Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang returned, Lu Mingfei was sitting in his seat, grinning foolishly.

It seems he received Nono's birthday wishes.

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei returned the phone to Gu Ran, thanking him for helping him call Nuonuo.

"You had a good birthday, didn't you?" Gu Ran asked.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously.

Aside from being kicked out of the house by his aunt, he actually had a pretty good day.

In particular, Nono sang him a funny birthday song.

At that moment, the airport announcement began to announce boarding, and the four boarded the plane bound for Chicago.

She kept her promise.

*……*……*

Chicago's train station was bustling with activity, and banners were hung everywhere.

The banner had a line of text written in English: "Try not running the railway for a week?"

It turns out that the railroad workers in Chicago are on strike and won't be coming to work for a week.

People in capitalist societies really have no sense of collectivism. So what if the salary is a little lower? It's not like they don't get paid at all.

They're going on strike over such a trivial matter? Isn't this just malicious pay raises?

The parade then departed, leaving behind a trail of trash that created a unique scene in the surrounding area.

With workers on strike, railway traffic naturally couldn't operate, and even the CC1000 branch line express train couldn't run normally.

“Looks like we can’t go back to school.” Lu Mingfei first looked at Chu Zihang, then at Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang. “Your train honeymoon plans will also be on hold.”

Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang had planned to travel along the Great Lakes by train, but now they can't go.

Actually, this was just a pretext for Gu Ran to come here and run into Xia Mi.

"So what do we do now?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Gu Ran, letting him make the decision.

Gu Ran arranged the entire trip, saying there would be surprises.

"It's alright, let's find a hotel and get some rest first," Gu Ran said with a smile. "Anyway, we're not in a rush, let's wander around the city first."

"And you two?" Gu Ran asked, looking at Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

“Let’s stay in Chicago for a week too,” Chu Zihang said to Lu Mingfei. “If you don’t have money, you can share a room with me, and I’ll cover your rent.”

Lu Mingfei was secretly pleased. As the saying goes, you rely on friends when you're out and about, and the three people in front of him were all well-off, so he was secretly quite happy.

"Let's go, let's get a room!" Lu Mingfei had been eating and drinking with Gu Ran the last time he came, so he was quite experienced in this area!

"Book a room, two grown men sleeping in one room?" A soft laugh suddenly came from above.

The four of them were a little stunned, because they were the only ones in the waiting hall; there shouldn't be any outsiders there.

They all looked up and saw someone taking a white cloth from the five-meter-high ceiling, but at that moment the beam became unstable and the person on it wobbled and fell down.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang immediately stepped forward to catch the falling person.

As a result, Lu Mingfei tripped and fell, and Chu Zihang caught him.

Chapter 256: The Split Personality Xia Mi Makes Her Official Debut

The person who fell from the sky was a slender young girl.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, revealing her fair neck.

Chu Zihang put one arm around her shoulder and the other around her knees.

Upon seeing her beautiful face, Chu Zihang instinctively put her down and took a step back.

The girl in front of me was breathtakingly beautiful.

"You must be a monster!" Lu Mingfei retorted, believing that only monsters could be so beautiful.

“It’s a classmate.” Chu Zihang saw the special train ticket for the CC1000 branch express train that Xia Mi was holding in her mouth.

"I'm a soft girl!" Xia Mi grinned at the people around her.

“It’s a girl who fell from the sky.” Gu Ran said, taking Su Xiaoqiang’s hand as they stepped forward. “We think we’ve met this girl before.”

"Yes, at the subway station in Beijing." Su Xiaoqiang also remembered it, after all, Xia Mi was so beautiful.

Everyone began by introducing themselves and stating their grade level.

Afterwards, Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi why she was taking the white cloth up there. Xia Mi said she was taking the cloth to the park next door to pitch a tent and prepare for a week of camping.

“This isn’t safe. If you don’t mind, you can book a room with us…” Chu Zihang offered his suggestion.

Xia Mi turned around abruptly, about to speak.

Gu Ran laughed and said, "Senior brother, you invited your junior sister to a hotel room as soon as you arrived. How direct..."

“That’s not what I meant…” Chu Zihang explained.

"Then what do you mean?" Xia Mi asked aggressively.

Chu Zihang fell silent; he wasn't good at explaining.

"Alright, let's go. With the senior brother here, there's no way we'd let our junior sister go camping on the street." Gu Ran picked up Su Xiaoqiang's two suitcases and said to Xia Mi, "Let's go, the oldest senior brother will cover your room fee!"

Xia Mi's expression immediately changed to one of delight, and she looked at Chu Zihang: "Senior brother is a tall, rich, and handsome guy! That's great, wow!"

She made a few monkey-like noises, just like the monkeys of Mount Emei.

Chu Zihang frowned slightly; he wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of eccentric girl.

I don't know if she's a female version of Fingel or a female version of Lu Mingfei, but she's also beautiful and cute.

"This junior is really interesting." Su Xiaoqiang's luggage was all in Gu Ran's hands, so she had nothing to do and helped Xia Mi drag a suitcase.

“Sister, I never expected that we would meet again here after we met once in the capital.” Xia Mi said to Su Xiaoqiang with a smile.

Su Xiaoqiang said, "You remember us?"

"I remember, I remember, you two were showing off your love at the subway entrance, spewing dog food everywhere." Xia Mi said with a mischievous smile, "At that time, I, a single dog, suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, and almost turned into the FFF group and burned you both to the ground!"

Su Xiaoqiang couldn't understand Xia Mi's words; only Lu Mingfei and Gu Ran understood them.

Listening to Xia Mi's words, Lu Mingfei was surprised that this sweet and cheerful junior was also a fan of anime!

(Note: FFF group, from "Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts", is an old anime meme. The core of the meme is too complex to explain in detail. Those interested can look it up themselves.)

"Would you like some Coke?" Xia Mi asked the four of them with a sly smile.

"Great, I'm thirsty right now." Gu Ran said, looking at the Dragon King who seemed to have schizophrenia.

"I'll treat you!" Lu Mingfei patted his chest.

He got the lottery ticket from Gu Ran, which contained a prize of ten thousand US dollars. He could treat everyone to Coke and water, and also make his presence known in front of the cute and adorable junior!

He was unaware that Xia Mi had already passed the 3E exam in the capital and wanted to show off his senior's composure.

Every senior has a desire to show off in front of pretty junior girls.

"No need to buy it, what kind of Coke tastes good if it costs money!" Xia Mi walked quickly to the Subway store that was closed, reached her hand through the metal bars, touched a cup in the store, and started filling the Coke machine with Coke.

She was slender and petite, with a well-proportioned figure, and her arm could just fit inside to reach the Coke bottle's switch.

The Subway staff left the soda machine running, giving Xia Mi an opportunity to get a free soda.

Only she could reach the iron railing; everyone else's arms were too thick.

She happily poured a Coke for each of her four older brothers and sisters as a greeting gift, hoping that the seniors would take care of her in the future.

"Don't worry, your senior brother will definitely protect you!" Lu Mingfei said, patting his chest, which had little muscle.

"Let's go." Gu Ran finished his cola and called to everyone, "Let's go to the hotel to drop off our luggage first."

*……*……*

The Hyatt Regency Chicago is located on the banks of the Chicago River, offering views of the riverbank from the windows, though not very far due to the skyscrapers throughout Chicago. However, if you step out onto the balcony and look east, you can see the vast expanse of Lake Michigan.

Gu Ran and his group of five booked two rooms: a double room and a room with a large bed.

Chu Zihang originally wanted to book a private room for Xia Mi, but she didn't want to waste money.

"I'll just sleep with this older sister!" Xia Mi said, pulling Su Xiaoqiang's hand and hoping that the three men could sleep together.

"No, this older sister has to sleep with me." Gu Ran pulled Su Xiaoqiang into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Su Xiaoqiang was both amused and exasperated. Seeing that Gu Ran wouldn't back down at all, she thought to herself that he was actually being jealous of a young girl, how childish of him.

In reality, Gu Ran wasn't jealous; she was afraid.

Just kidding, letting your girlfriend sleep with a dragon king, who knows if she'll be hypnotized or do something else?

Xia Mi asked angrily, "So you're sleeping in the same bed?"

“Yes!” Gu Ran answered confidently.

"What a pair of scoundrels!" Xia Mi muttered.

“They’re adulterers!” Lu Mingfei immediately picked up on the line from Stephen Chow’s movie and continued the sentence.

Seeing that she couldn't share a room with Su Xiaoqiang, Xia Mi had no choice but to share with Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei, but she resolutely refused to let Chu Zihang book an extra room so as not to waste his money.

After checking into their rooms, the group returned to their own rooms.

Su Xiaoqiang had been on a plane for more than ten hours and had walked around the streets for a while, so she was covered in sweat and wanted to take a shower immediately.

"I want to wash too."

Gu Ran locked the room door, ran into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with hot water, and then squeezed into the small shower room with Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang pushed against her boyfriend's imposing chest muscles with both hands and said shyly, "It's broad daylight, you... stop fooling around. We're all going to eat together later, and people will laugh if they see us."

"It's just a shower, what are you thinking?" Gu Ran said without saying a word, turning on the shower and soaking both of their clothes.

We're all soaked, what else is there to say?

Su Xiaoqiang had no choice but to start taking off her clothes, and soon the two were skin to skin, intimately close.

"You can only take a shower!" Su Xiaoqiang grabbed Gu Ran's hands, preventing him from moving around.
