A soft voice called his name. He opened his eyes groggily and saw Chen Wenwen's concerned face.
He quickly sat up straight, noticed the coldness on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly wiped it.
He cleared his throat, his voice unconsciously tinged with a hint of sarcasm: "Wenwen, is there something you need?"
Chen Wenwen is one of the three beauties in Lu Mingfei's class. Others who are equally famous include Su Xiaoqiang, the little fairy, and Liu Miaomiao, the piano girl.
To be honest, Chen Wenwen's looks are slightly inferior to Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao. Her main advantage lies in her strong literary temperament and her status as the first person to treat Lu Mingfei gently. In Lu Mingfei's eyes, she is definitely far superior to the other two.
Even though Xiaotiannv is great, she never gave me a kind look, did she? She's nowhere near as understanding as Wenwen.
In fact, Chen Wenwen wasn't that nice to Lu Mingfei. She just didn't bully him like other classmates. At the same time, she enjoyed having a handsome guy as her lapdog, so she would occasionally give him some leftovers to keep him interested and keep him hanging on.
Lu Mingfei's crush on Chen Wenwen was a secret he considered to be kept hidden, but the whole class knew about it, and Chen Wenwen, as the protagonist, naturally knew as well.
Being secretly admired is like warming yourself by a campfire; how could you not notice the heat of the flames?
Chen Wenwen smiled slightly and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear with one hand: "It wasn't me looking for you, it was Senior Brother Chu Zihang looking for you. Lu Mingfei, you actually know Senior Brother Chu Zihang? How come you've never mentioned him before?"
"Ah I?"
Lu Mingfei's expression resembled that of Ba Boerben.
When did I meet Senior Brother Chu? Oh, yes, I do know him, but he doesn't know me.
He's the top student at Shilan High School, and I'm the top guy at Shilan High School.
Lu Mingfei felt that Chen Wenwen was just joking with him, perhaps she came to tease him while he was asleep. How cute! Why doesn't she tease others? This means she cares about him…
But soon, as Chen Wenwen stepped aside, despite the large group of female classmates already gathered at the door, Chu Zihang's towering figure still appeared in front of him.
"Ah Zhen, are you serious?"
Lu Mingfei blurted out a string of nonsensical words.
"Huh? What? Stop spacing out, Senior Brother Chu is still waiting outside." Chen Wenwen urged Lu Mingfei. The girls at the door looked at Li Xi as if they were about to devour him after Gao Songdeng was ignored.
"Ah, oh... okay..."
Lu Mingfei hurriedly got up from his seat and, amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, steeled himself and went to the classroom door.
Upon arriving at the entrance, they discovered that Senior Brother Chu was not the only one there; Senior Brother Zhao was also present.
What kind of day is this? These two scoundrels, the number one and number two on the list, are both here? Have I broken some heavenly law?
"Senior Brother Chu... and Senior Brother Zhao, are you looking for me?"
He mumbled a greeting as he stepped forward, his words sounding like he was being interviewed with his left hand.
"Okay, I need to talk to you. Let's find somewhere else to talk." Chu Zihang nodded, pulled Zhao Zizhan, who was leaning against the windowsill looking at the scenery, and walked outside first.
Lu Mingfei had no choice but to follow, inwardly cursing his bad luck. "Senior Brother Chu, you came up here without a reason and took me away without saying a word. You're so decisive! How am I supposed to live from now on?"
Under immense pressure, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the three finally arrived at the student council's meeting room, which was empty. As the student council president, Chu Zihang naturally had unlimited access to it.
Closing the gate shut out those gazes as well, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was also in his throat.
This looks like something serious, doesn't it? Senior brother, please don't mess with me...
"What's going on, senior? It's a bit inappropriate for three grown men like us to be like this. What did I do wrong? Sleeping in class isn't serious enough to get me executed later, is it...?"
"Don't worry, we won't kill you, and we won't sleep with you."
Zhao Zizhan casually picked up on the joke, pulled out a chair and sat down calmly, letting Chu Zihang do as he pleased.
"I would like to invite you to join our team," Chu Zihang said bluntly.
"Hey?"
"If you agree, we can start the activity tomorrow, and then..."
"Wait a minute, senior brother. What? I've joined your team? We didn't even know each other before today, right?"
Lu Mingfei quickly interrupted, as the situation had developed far beyond his expectations.
"I know you, your name is Lu Mingfei."
Lu Mingfei didn't even want to complain about why the other person knew him, but then he thought about it and realized that it was Chu Zihang, so it didn't seem so strange anymore.
"Well, we've only just met, right? We don't know each other well, and I don't even know what your team does. Asking me to join suddenly feels a bit..."
Lu Mingfei felt like he had stumbled into a pyramid scheme. He never expected that his senior brother Chu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would do such a thing.
"Look at me, I can't lift a finger, so why don't you just forget about me... Don't worry, once I leave this room, this will be a secret, and no one else will ever know about it!"
Lu Mingfei immediately wanted to get rid of Chu Zihang's team. If it were his middle school self, he would definitely have agreed, right? Unfortunately, right now he just wanted to be a good-for-nothing kid. Chu Zihang was just too far away from his life.
"Are you really planning to leave like this? Don't you want to hear what our team is planning to do?"
Zhao Zizhan chuckled and asked.
Lu Mingfei shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "I don't want to hear it anymore, Senior Brother Zhao. I know the rules; this detailed plan can't be revealed to outsiders so easily."
"I see. Well, that's a pity. It's such a rare opportunity to have Chen Wenwen admire you. Alright, since you're so determined, I won't force you. Let's go, I'll take you home?"
"Actually, listening to it isn't necessarily a bad thing..."
Chapter Sixty-Six: Deception, and more deception.
In his thirty-year career, Zhao Zizhan once realized a truth: Don't mess with anyone, especially not a sycophant.
Because simps are truly awesome.
Chen Wenwen is not a stunning beauty; in fact, she's quite the manipulative woman. She was stringing Lu Mingfei along while flirting with Zhao Menghua, and ultimately, Zhao Menghua won her over.
They even had to show off their affection in front of the whole class, delivering a heavy blow to Lu Mingfei.
8
However, until she completely betrays Lu Mingfei and is replaced in his heart by Nuonuo, she will always be Lu Mingfei's absolute white moonlight.
This is the story of a child who, after both parents lost contact, moved into his aunt's house and suddenly transformed from a normal child into a neglected servant, unloved by his maternal grandmother and uncle.
Especially after his aunt completely broke his spine, Chen Wenwen and Lao Tang were the only two acts of kindness he received from this world.
Despite all her flaws, the little bits of kindness that emanate from Chen Wenwen's fingertips are the precious treasure that this unfortunate child longs for but cannot obtain.
Using Chen Wenwen as a starting point might be more effective than dealing with this unfortunate child than using his parents.
When Lu Mingfei suddenly changed his mind, he wanted to slap himself. How could he have blurted it out like that? Lu Mingfei, you're incredibly audacious! Did you agree without even considering the consequences? What if it really is some kind of pyramid scheme?
But they said they could make Chen Wenwen admire them...
Chu Zihang's eyes lit up as he leaned closer: "Who is Chen Wenwen?"
①0①樲2ノ╲⑶○玖㈧
Wow, I overheard some gossip about the new recruits while I was recruiting them. Not bad!
"It's...it's my classmate..."
In front of Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei was somewhat ashamed to mention his feelings of love.
"They weren't classmates at all. Here's the thing, let me tell you, Lao Chu..."
Zhao Zizhan pulled Chu Zihang aside, covered his ears, and whispered something in Chu Zihang's ear.
Lu Mingfei stood still, only seeing that Senior Brother Chu's cold face did not show much emotion, but his eyebrows sometimes raised, sometimes lowered, and sometimes tangled together, like two pens that could depict emotions.
"To think there is such a thing..."
Having thoroughly enjoyed the gossip, Chu Zihang nodded: "You should join our team even more." Unconsciously, a hint of pity crept into Chu Zihang's tone.
"So what exactly does our team do?"
"Let me speak," Zhao Zizhan continued, "I've set up a scientific research group, currently just the two of us, your senior brother Chu and I, preparing to participate in this year's National Robotics Competition. But as you know, these national competitions are incredibly competitive, with countless talented individuals from all over the country. Your senior brother and I are too intimidating, so we need someone with a less imposing presence, preferably someone a little unlucky, to help with the procedures, gather intelligence, and do odd jobs."
"Your senior brother Chu recommended you to me. As it stands, you do seem to meet the requirements. If it goes well and you win a national award, you'll definitely get a share. With that kind of status, won't your classmate Chen Wenwen admire you even more?"
Zhao Zizhan's words were very blunt, almost implying that they needed a useless person. However, this statement actually relieved Lu Mingfei. He knew his own abilities, and if the other party really wanted him to do any work, he would definitely back down.
But it was precisely this self-sufficient need that gave Lu Mingfei a sense of happiness, like a pie falling from the sky.
Wow, there are even national awards like this?
Compared to a prodigy like Senior Brother Chu, Zhao Zizhan's reputation as a righteous official in Lanhu was also widely recognized. His credibility was as trustworthy as the crotch of Prince Duan, and his words were generally reliable.
But he still instinctively retorted, "Chen Wenwen likes humanities..."
"What does it matter? Look at your senior brother Chu, does it matter what he studies? Girls admire strength; they only like strength. What area you are strong in is not really important."
"By the way, how good are you at video games?"
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment: "Not bad...?"
"That's settled then. I didn't expect you to have such unexpected talent. We'll entrust the flight testing of the aircraft to you from now on."
Zhao Zizhan patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder: "OK, our Azure Dragon Study Group is officially established. Tonight, it's my treat; let's have dinner together to celebrate."
"Senior brother, why don't you just call it the 'Winning Streak Study Group'?"
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but want to complain.
"That would be too obvious. It's not like the teacher hasn't seen the Young and Dangerous movies. We could say that using the Azure Dragon is promoting traditional culture."
“Go ahead and learn,” Zhao Zizhan winked at Lu Mingfei.
"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Chu Zihang extended his hand, and Lu Mingfei hesitated slightly before shaking it: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Even after returning to his seat, Lu Mingfei was still a little dizzy. How did I, a loser who no one loves, who barely passed the minimum score and had to pay extra fees to get into Shilan Middle School, suddenly end up participating in the research group organized by the top two brothers?
Do you think this is nonsense?
This person's success... I can't go on about it.
"Lu Mingfei, are you alright?"
Seeing that Lu Mingfei had returned in a daze after meeting with Senior Brother Chu, everyone in the class guessed that he might have gotten into some trouble and the student council had come knocking on his door, and that he might be in big trouble.
At this point, Chen Wenwen's area of advantage became apparent: her gentle and accommodating nature.
Other girls, even if they were curious about why Chu Zihang was looking for Lu Mingfei, wouldn't think of getting close to him. Only Chen Wenwen, whether she was being frivolous or not, genuinely asked.
"Of course I'm fine, hehe..."
Lu Mingfei grinned foolishly at Chen Wenwen, his mind already wandering into fantasies.
Fantasizing about winning awards with her senior classmates, being the center of attention, and having Chen Wenwen ask her admiringly how she did it, she even thought about naming her daughter Lu Muwen...
After school, as soon as Lu Mingfei stepped out of the school gate, he saw Zhao Zizhan and Chu Zihang waiting for him next to their luxury car.
"You'll ride in your senior brother Chu's Maybach, which costs 980 million. Let me tell you, that's impressive! Give his driver a good talking-to!"
Zhao Zizhan patted Lu Mingfei on the back, shooing him over to Chu Zihang's side like a chick.
Chu Zihang didn't say anything, but nodded to Lu Mingfei, then gave Zhao Zizhan a helpless glare before opening the car door for Lu Mingfei amidst the latter's playful grin.
You sit here, I'll sit on the other side.
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei felt a soreness in his nose. He didn't know why, but it just felt sore.
He lowered his head, hummed in agreement, and sat down in his seat, shutting out the astonishment from the outside world.
PS: I finally managed to finish five chapters right before the deadline, sob sob. Heatstroke is really tough, I'm feeling dizzy and lightheaded. But don't worry, everyone, the promised updates may be late, but they will definitely be there!
Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Competition.
In the restaurant, Lu Mingfei buried his head in his chopsticks and kept grabbing food, looking exactly like an African refugee.
Since his parents disappeared, Lu Mingfei had never eaten such a sumptuous meal. When you are living under someone else's roof and you encounter an aunt who is extremely biased towards her own child, and it just so happens that her child is an ultimate David Dai, a live pig, then the lack of living supplies is almost a foregone conclusion.
Sleeping in the same room as Lu Mingze, she had to endure his snoring every night, his fat pressing against her trachea. She wore clothes that Lu Mingze didn't want anymore. Even when eating, she had to wait for Lu Mingze to pick up food first before she could start eating. Moreover, she couldn't pick up meat or vegetables first, otherwise she would face her aunt's demonic vocal attacks, or even physical violence.
The arrival of his uncle and aunt completely filled the void in Lu Mingfei's life, which had been filled with the absence of a stepfather and stepmother for so many years.
The sudden transformation from a parent's darling into a stray dog is an unbearable burden for a child.
Even if he wanted to complain to his parents, he could never get through to that number. Faced with all sorts of suspicions from his uncle and aunt, Lu Mingfei could only silently endure it.
Three years...three years!!!
Do you know how I've spent the last three years?! Do you even know?!
At the dinner table, Zhao Zizhan looked at Lu Mingfei's posture, which seemed like a demon reincarnated. He exchanged a glance with Chu Zihang, but didn't say anything. Instead, he called the waiter to bring out the dishes quickly and piled them in front of Lu Mingfei.
