A Maybach on a rainy night? Talk to my Levadin!

Lu Mingfei's explanation was drowned out by the teacher's roar and the laughter of his classmates.

He shrunk his head and slunk out of the classroom, leaning against the wall outside the door and sighing.

"elder brother……"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Lu Mingfei turned his head to see that familiar little boy again.

"Why are you here again? Whose kid are you anyway? Have I become so delusional that I'm starting to fantasize about having friends? I don't think I'm that bad..."

Lu Mingfei patted his head, looking worried.

The boy looked at Lu Mingfei with his golden eyes and said softly, "Brother, it's not too late for you to leave now."

"What do you mean 'leave'? Where are you going? I'm being punished right now, Buddha, just stand there, understand? If I run away, the teacher will tear me apart."

While chatting with the child, Lu Mingfei looked out the window at the rain curtain: "This damn rain is so heavy, I wonder if my lousy umbrella can hold up...?"

"You weren't on His invitation list, brother."

"Don't go with him, this is my last piece of advice." The little boy looked at him seriously and said these words one by one before suddenly disappearing.

"Holy crap, it's gone again? This is unbelievable..."

Lu Mingfei was startled by the little boy who suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

Before he could even search for the child, he saw the old teacher standing at the door, looking at him with a sinister gaze.

"Damn it, that little brat only knows how to harm people all day long," Lu Mingfei thought to himself, and quickly stood up obediently with his head down in shame.

The teacher snorted coldly, turned around and walked away. Before Lu Mingfei could figure out what was going on, the classroom was already in an uproar.

Zhao Menghua and his gang, carrying their schoolbags, walked out of the classroom with smiles on their faces. They glanced at Lu Mingfei with disdain and turned away. One of the gang members even accidentally bumped into Lu Mingfei, causing him to stumble, before walking away.

"What's wrong...?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhao Menghua and his cronies had often picked fights with Lu Mingfei, such as making him do chores, being sarcastic in their words, and making things difficult for him when collecting homework and handling class affairs. They would also make tasteless jokes at him after class and then push and shove him.

It's not really bullying, since Shilan Middle School has pretty strict rules and regulations, but it's just disgusting.

Now that Lu Mingfei has followed Zhao Zizhan as his new leader, Zhao Menghua and his group don't dare to openly cause trouble for Lu Mingfei anymore, so they can only resort to these harmless little tricks.

"The school leaders said that due to heavy rain, today's teaching activities will be suspended, and we can go home early," Su Xiaoqiang texted her driver on her phone, then turned to reply to Lu Mingfei.

After getting on Zhao Zizhan and Chu Zihang's bandwagon, it has to be said that Lu Mingfei's status in the class has indeed improved, especially among the girls. Many girls who want to get closer to Zhao Zizhan and Chu Zihang have started looking for a breakthrough through Lu Mingfei, hoping to learn about their hobbies and personal habits, or try to get some opportunities to meet them.

Even the Little Fairy Su Xiaoqiang is no exception.

"Oh? Going home early?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Chu should still be busy, right? By the time they finish and come out, it might be too late to call their families to pick them up, right? I can help call a driver so we can all go back together, how about that?"

"Um... well... I can't be sure either. I'll have to wait for my senior brothers to come out before I can tell them," Lu Mingfei said, scratching his head and pretending to be clueless.

"Don't you have a cell phone? Why don't you send a message and ask?"

I left it in the activity room.

Su Xiaoqiang glared fiercely at Lu Mingfei, this guy who was good for nothing but causing trouble. But you couldn't say that his behavior was intentional, because that was Lu Mingfei's usual persona.

Clicking her tongue, Su Xiaoqiang left first. Although she admired both Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Chu, the little fairy was still a bit stubborn. She couldn't bring herself to lower herself and go to Lu Mingfei to soften her stance.

Lu Mingfei was left with only an awkward smile as he watched the other person leave.

"What a heavy rain, it's as if the sky is dumping all the pent-up feelings of the season onto the earth," a sentimental female voice softly narrated. Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw his white moonlight standing quietly beside him.

Chen Wenwen, carrying a stack of books, stood out from the group of students who were hurriedly contacting their parents to go home.

"Lu Mingfei, are you alone? Do you want to go back together?"

Chen Wenwen asked softly.

"Ah I……"

Lu Mingfei almost agreed, but as if possessed, he replied, "I...I want to wait for Senior Brother Zhao and the others."

The curtain is about to rise on Chapter 100.

In fact, Lu Mingfei regretted it the moment he said those words.

He wanted to slap himself right then and there.

Lu Mingfei, what are you saying?! Chen Wenwen invited you home! How could you refuse?!

Is it too late for me to change my story now? I should just say that I was possessed by a ghost!

丿0?卍⒉ノ╲彡0乆捌

Chen Wenwen didn't seem to care much about being rejected by Lu Mingfei, as if she hadn't noticed the little scheme in the boy's mind. She nodded gently and said, "You have a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhao and the others."

"Ah... Haha, really? I didn't even notice."

"I'll be going now. You should all go home early too. The teacher just told us that it's going to rain heavily today."

Chen Wenwen waved her hand, leaving without a trace, and strode into the flowing crowd.

"Ah...I...okay..."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, wanting to say a few more words, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single syllable.

It would have been fine if you had agreed at first, but now that you're saying it again, aren't you just making things awkward for both of you?

Oh my god, what was I thinking?! Why didn't I agree?!

It's like missing out on a duck that was practically in your mouth!

You were pretty quick with your reflexes when playing StarCraft, so why are you so slow now?

Lu Mingfei was completely dejected, ignoring even the disgusted looks from those around him, and squeezed back into the classroom, slumping onto his desk.

"Hey... Brother Zhao, please show me the way..."

Lu Mingfei looked gloomy, and curled up like a shrimp in front of the table.

Chen Wenwen and Xiaotiannv were right; the rain was indeed getting heavier.

The deep rumble of thunder and the endless sound of rain mingled together, as if playing a symphony of fate.

Lu Mingfei's mind started racing. What would happen if he agreed? Would he end up sharing an umbrella with Chen Wenwen?

But my own clothes are dirty, and it seems a bit embarrassing to be seen with them.

What did the child mean by what he said this afternoon? What did he mean by "He didn't invite me"?

Snapped!

Lu Mingfei felt a sudden tap on the back of his head. He looked up and saw Zhao Zizhan smiling at him.

"You bastard, you come to our group to play games, then come into the classroom to do whatever you want, huh? What have you been doing all night? Can you please stop playing those games so much?"

"Who flew the plane?!"

Lu Mingfei practically jumped up from his seat and instinctively looked around.

Most of the students had already left, leaving only a few waiting for someone to pick them up.

Thankfully, Chen Wenwen has already left.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Chu Zihang's dad is here to pick him up, so he can take us all back together," Zhao Zizhan said casually without saying much, and then led the way out the door.

"Oh……"

Lu Mingfei rubbed his head and responded, then picked up his coat and put it on before following Zhao Zizhan out of the classroom.

"Senior, what did you and Junior Xia talk about this afternoon?"

Lu Mingfei followed behind Zhao Zizhan and asked eagerly.

We talked about some family matters.

"Oh? You've already started talking about family? So soon?"

Lu Mingfei was startled. "Brother Zhao, isn't your speed a bit too fast?"

Then wouldn't Senior Brother Chu be...?

As they were talking, Lu Mingfei saw Chu Zihang ahead.

He was standing at the entrance of the teaching building lobby, talking on the phone with someone.

The rain outside was pattering down, turning the ground, sky, and playground into a white expanse.

Most of the students had already been borrowed, and the teaching building and playground were now quite empty. The flagpole in the middle of the playground was trembling violently in the storm.

Senior Brother Chu stood there, aloof from the world.

"Zihang, is it raining where you are too? You wouldn't believe it, I was shopping with my friends at the mall when it started pouring rain. It's really heavy, and we can't even get a taxi. We're thinking of having a coffee here and resting for a bit before heading back. You can take a taxi home early, or tell your dad and ask him to send someone to pick you up..."

"I love you, come here and let Mom give you a kiss."

The voice of Ms. Su Xiaoyan came through the speakerphone, and the call was disconnected after a crisp popping sound.

Chu Zihang held his phone, remaining completely silent from beginning to end.

She simply lowered her head, sent a text message to an unnumbered account, and then turned to look at Zhao Zizhan.

"You came?"

"So, is your father coming to pick you up, or should I arrange it?"

"Leave it to me."

Zhao Zizhan didn't say much, but silently patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder. This kid's family is also having a hard time, but he's also stubborn.

Ms. Su Xiaoyan is over thirty years old, yet she remains as virtuous as ever. In such heavy rain, it's impossible to get a taxi at the mall, so it's naturally the same at the school. But Ms. Su Xiaoyan just doesn't seem to think of this.

She was feeling lost because she couldn't find a way to get home.

However, Chu Zihang was used to this. He would call his mother specifically to let her know that he was safe and sound.

As for the stepfather...

If I were willing to make a phone call, Mr. Lu would probably send a car over directly.

But Chu Zihang did not do that.

Zhao Zizhan didn't speak; he understood. Chu Zihang also didn't speak; he knew Zhao Zizhan understood.

There was an unspoken understanding flowing between the two, while the loser stood to the side, looking like a bewildered Hakimi, only able to shake his head and utter a "Huh."

No, buddy?

Senior Brother Zhao, did you manage to win over both of them? Isn't that a bit too much...?

After that, Senior Brother Zhao was monogamous in this group, so what was I?

His mind was a jumble of thoughts, all trying to dispel the boy's words—don't go with him.

Just as Lu Mingfei's thoughts were starting to go astray, two deep horn sounds woke him up.

Through the rain, the xenon headlights pierced through the rain like long spears, their brightness blinding.

Inside the car was a middle-aged man with a sly smile, like an old rabbit, waving at them.

"This... Senior Brother Chu's family has a new driver?"

Lu Mingfei vaguely remembered that the driver for Senior Brother Chu's family didn't seem to be this one, and the car didn't seem right either.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You're lucky someone's come to pick you up. Let's go."

Zhao Zizhan seemed somewhat impatient, leading the way towards the steel monster parked in the rain. Lu Mingfei looked at his back, hesitated slightly, but still followed.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, casting the shadows of the three people together.

Immediately following was a long rumble of thunder, like a sigh from an ancient creature.

P.S.: My index finger is infected, it hurts so much. There will be another chapter later.
