Lu Mingfei: What? They're all real!

"Who is that person?" Guderian felt his head was probably covered in sweat; he was probably the most nervous person there.

“She’s a classmate of ours, a very pretty girl.” Lu Mingfei smiled quietly, glancing almost imperceptibly towards the door, as if someone were standing there.

There was a faint sound coming from outside the door, then it vanished in an instant, followed by silence, as if nothing had happened. Lu Mingfei kept smiling, but unlike his earlier sneer, his smile was now quiet, as if he were reminiscing about some carefree days.

But in Chen Motong's eyes, it was just a shy smile. She was certain that the information she had gathered and the news that "Norma" had spied out were absolutely true!

Her determination to carry out the plan grew even stronger.

"Right? A very pretty girl, she must have captured someone's heart, someone they can't forget~" Chen Motong smiled too, her smile sinister and cunning, like luring prey into a trap. She said, "That's probably different from the flirtatious teasing you give my senior sister, it's genuine love!"

"Mhm!" Lu Mingfei nodded in agreement, but his face was hidden in the shadows, so his expression was not visible.

However, his agreement was enough to say everything. Chen Motong thought to herself and continued, "So it must be these things that are holding your heart back, right? Saying that you wanted your senior sister to ask you out was just to amuse her, wasn't it? That's not good... But your senior sister understands. If you go overseas all alone, how can you leave the person you like behind?"

Lu Mingfei nodded even more. That was indeed what he thought, but the girl in front of him had gambled on the wrong protagonist.

"So, I think people need to distinguish between what's important and what's not, right?" the girl asked.

“I think so too!” Lu Mingfei replied.

He didn't lie at all. In his heart, this was a very, very important matter, so important that even if it was just an unreliable clue obtained from an unreliable guy, he was willing to rush there immediately.

But he hadn't lied just now. He didn't feel any affection for this lively red-haired girl, but he did feel plenty of sympathy. He pitied her from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't help but want to ask if this was her wish.

Just like providing end-of-life care for a terminally ill cancer patient, people are always full of patience and gentleness at this time.

Chen Motong was secretly delighted, but she kept a straight face and coaxed, "So you should give it a try!"

"Try what?" Lu Mingfei asked eagerly, as if he had been waiting for her to say that.

"Try confessing your feelings!" Chen Motong could no longer contain her smile, and her voice became louder. As if she were encouraging a soldier going into battle, she said loudly, "You should try to touch your own love. If you don't get rid of this inner demon, you'll be trapped in it!"

"Confess...confess?" Lu Mingfei stammered, as if someone had exposed his thoughts, and he could no longer hide his shyness.

But he kept smiling, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He pursed his lips and blinked constantly, as if he were just cooperating with someone's performance... But on the surface, you couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

"Yeah, confess! You should confess to that girl!" Chen Motong continued to encourage Lu Mingfei. "Her name is Chen Wenwen, right? What a lovely name! And she's from the same clan as me, what a coincidence! As a girl with the surname Chen, I have a secret to tell you—"

"Mmm!" Lu Mingfei nodded like a pecking pecker.

"You have to confess loudly and make a big show of it, let everyone know that you like that girl, you have to let her know your love, but more importantly, you have to let others witness your love!" In the blink of an eye, Nuonuo became full of heroic spirit and had the aura of a tiger that could swallow a thousand miles.

As soon as she finished speaking, another loud noise came from outside the door.

Guderian was very curious about what had happened there. He had never wished more than now that he possessed the Word of Power called "Kamaitachi". Although most of them in the academy secretly thought it was a completely worthless Word of Power, now was the most suitable time for it.

Lu Mingfei also looked towards the door, and in that instant, he moved to a place where Chen Motong couldn't see him. He silently revealed a circus clown-like smile, an uncontrollable joy, as if he were mocking someone's scheme.

-----------------

Chen Wenwen's face was already flushed. With the mentality of "if you can't beat them, join them," she had been eavesdropping at the door the whole time.

But now she overheard this conversation.

Her face turned bright red, and her mind went blank.

Chapter 28 She felt that she probably liked Lu Mingfei.

"Oh dear, how could you say something like that..."

Chen Wenwen kept fanning herself with her hand, as if she was very hot. Her face was flushed and she was full of shyness. She kept complaining that someone was too blunt.

But what she wore most often was a smile; her mouth was wide open and she couldn't close it, her happiness overflowing.

She blinked lightly, hinting at something to the pretty girl so close by; she even showed a rare hint of aggression, a kind of provocation.

How could Chen Wenwen not be happy now? She was actually the one who cared most about winning and losing, but she just didn't show it... That day, just hearing from afar that a girl who was so beautiful she seemed to glow was coming to the school made her heart jump. When everyone started spreading rumors that the beautiful girl was there to confess to Lu Mingfei, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

This matter upset her for a very long time, and what upset her even more was that Lu Mingfei didn't seem to be as enthusiastic towards her anymore...

She admitted that she hadn't done well enough in many aspects, but she was also really upset. She admitted that her actions were somewhat shameless, but she didn't want to make herself feel bad or lose face.

So she was especially happy now. If it weren't for the fact that smiling with her lips pursed had long become a habit and muscle memory for her, she would definitely have grinned at this pretty girl.

Xia Mi was too lazy to say anything more to this seemingly dim-witted girl. She winked fiercely, then focused all her attention on eavesdropping on the secrets. She couldn't miss any details; perhaps her good fortune was hidden among them.

But Chen Wenwen saw her behavior as utterly incompetent rage, which made the victorious girl even more proud. She shook her head slightly and blew air out.

So Su Xiaoqiang, who was initially somewhat disgusted by the two girls, couldn't help but become curious. She was very curious about what was making the two girls keep winking at each other. So she quietly withdrew her words of attack on Chen Wenwen and the girl in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she quietly came to Chen Wenwen's side and pressed her ear against the door.

The girls outside the door were listening, while the conversation inside continued to flow.

"Why do I need to let other people know about my confession?" Lu Mingfei asked like a complete novice. "I think... isn't it a bit over the top?"

"How could that be!" Chen Motong's imposing aura remained unchanged as she shook her head firmly. "Love is war, my silly junior brother! You need to know that the road to love is always full of fierce battles. Only by defeating all opponents can you bring the princess home. Don't you think so?"

"Well……"

Lu Mingfei nodded blankly, as if he had taken his words to heart.

Chen Wenwen, who was outside the door, also heard these words and thought that the answer was absolutely right! She also felt that it was indeed necessary to let everyone know when confessing one's feelings!

Chen Motong, inside the door, chuckled inwardly while continuing to stir up trouble, "Besides, think about it, although the probability is small, she still has a chance to like you, doesn't she?"

"really?"

Lu Mingfei feigned surprise at just the right moment, his eyes seemingly radiating light.

“Of course it’s true. Think about it, has she ever given you a gift?” Chen Motong began to analyze.

"No, no!" Lu Mingfei gave a firm answer.

"That's great!" Chen Motong thought to herself that this guy was really pitiful, but she started to analyze things by gossiping, "That means she cares about you a lot. Gifts are an extension of feelings, and even more so an extension of personal image. This is solid proof that she cares about how she looks in your heart."

“Is that so!” Lu Mingfei said in a firm, soldier-like tone.

"Of course," Chen Motong said firmly, emphasizing his statement.

Chen Wenwen, standing outside the door, also thought this statement made sense. Although she had never thought of it this way before, now that an outsider had pointed it out, she felt that... there might indeed be such a factor involved.

She had considered several times whether to give Lu Mingfei something as a token of her appreciation and gratitude, but in the end, she gave up the idea because of some strange inner conflict; she was always somewhat reluctant to do so.

At that time, she was afraid that others would misunderstand her relationship with Lu Mingfei.

But now, hearing such remarks, she felt... perhaps she really cared about her image in Lu Mingfei's eyes.

Chen Motong was quite satisfied with Lu Mingfei's performance, and she continued to stir up trouble: "Also, think again, has she said anything special to you? Or done anything special?"

"No, but she did invite me to join the literary club. That was back when high school started." Lu Mingfei gave an embarrassed laugh, with a hint of something like when he was teasing a child and couldn't hold back.

Chen Motong always felt that the boy in front of her was somewhat different from how he looked when she first came in, but she didn't know him well enough to put her finger on what was different.

She continued her fabrication, "That's enough! Think about it, isn't this kind of big event special enough? Haven't you seen those Japanese anime where they invite someone to join a club? What does that really mean?"

"What does it represent?" Lu Mingfei asked, still feigning ignorance.

“This means you have a chance, junior brother. The situation is very clear now. Your operations are superb. All you need to do next is F2A, you don’t even need micro-management!” Chen Motong finally revealed his true intentions, giving the answer with a smile like a tiger, “Listen to your senior sister, just go straight in, she will definitely agree!”

Lu Mingfei did not answer immediately this time, but someone outside the door was eager to answer for him.

Chen Wenwen stopped listening. She felt that everything her senior sister said was correct and that she had been thoroughly analyzed. Before today, she might have had some doubts and questions, but now, she felt as if she had been touched on the head by a celestial being, and everything became clear.

That's absolutely true!

She felt that she probably hadn't even realized it herself, but she most likely liked Lu Mingfei... All the signs pointed to this, how could she not like such an outstanding person? Of course Lu Mingfei was outstanding, she just hadn't noticed it before. She was glad that she had been awakened by this uninvited guest.

Chen Wenwen really wished there were other people here, preferably all the students in the school, so that everyone could see this moment, which would make her even happier.

But now there's no one else here, only her, Su Xiaoqiang, and this pretty girl.

She paused, then couldn't help but pat the pretty girl on the shoulder, sending her a look of pity and gratitude. Being a winner is a happy thing, but comforting the loser is also a necessary courtesy, not to mention that in a sense, this was her benefactor.

The benefactor who brought her to her senses in time.

The pretty girl ignored her, not even turning her head. Chen Wenwen guessed that it was probably due to sadness and loneliness. Such a pretty girl, yet she was lying here listening to Mingfei say that another girl was pretty—such a reaction was quite normal.

However, Chen Wenwen didn't care that much. She began to think about what attitude and what attire she should adopt to welcome the warriors' charge.

Although she doesn't know Lu Mingfei yet, he's such a good person. She can wait until she stands with him on stage under the spotlight before getting to know him better. She thinks she'll definitely like him, and like him even more. He's so outstanding, and such a good university has designated him as a genius who far surpasses everyone else. She's sure she'll like him.

Thinking this, Chen Wenwen suddenly felt that she should do something. Although the charge was initiated by the warriors, she could set up the stage.

And she admitted that she couldn't wait for such an exciting thing to happen...

The girl hurriedly pulled her phone out of her pocket, frantically pressing buttons to navigate to the "Mobile New Life" interface, and opened her "Mobile QQ"—

"How about the literary society organizes a graduation party before graduation?" she suggested in the group chat.

What would he say then...? The girl couldn't help but imagine.

Chapter 29 I guarantee that girl definitely doesn't like him.

Lu Mingfei really felt that he was cunning and wicked, just like when he used a fake QQ account to pretend to be a girl and deceive his cousin Lu Mingze. He was extremely wicked now.

He knew perfectly well that the red-haired girl in front of him had ill intentions and was setting a trap for him. He could have refused to cooperate, but he couldn't suppress his playful nature. He wanted to see what kind of expression this poor girl would make if the plan completely failed.

Lu Mingfei even felt a little scared of himself. He would never have done this before, but just now, after something crawled out of his body, he felt his heart harden in an instant, as if the whole world had lost its weight, and everything became insignificant in his eyes.

This influence gradually changed him.

He even seemed to relish seeing bad things happen; he was like a radical youth, with an impulse to hate the whole world, and he was happy to see everyone's faces filled with sadness.

He pursed his lips, maintaining his expression, and thanked her with a silly grin: "Senior sister, you're so kind."

"It's a pity that if you succeed, you won't be able to call me senior sister anymore," Chen Motong said, feigning sadness.

At this point, Guderian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but start to get anxious. He made a "uh-uh" sound and his eyes widened like copper bells.

"Sigh..." Chen Motong sighed and pressed the man's face down. "Although the academy really wants to acquire talent, and Professor Guderian hopes so too, I think your love life is more important, junior brother. But if you succeed, you definitely won't come with us, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. If you beg me with tears in your eyes, I might change my mind." Lu Mingfei still smiled foolishly, but his eyes narrowed a little.

"Then it seems there's no hope. After all, Senior Sister never asks for anything she wants." Chen Motong maintained her firm stance, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lu Mingfei smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more. Then he waved to everyone in the room, a prelude to farewell.

Guderian should have stepped forward to seize his precious genius, but he was now under Chen Motong's control and couldn't even speak. Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, who had been organizing documents in the corner, also failed to receive his orders and could only watch Lu Mingfei leave.

He felt heartbroken and angry. He knew Chen Motong was a rebellious child, but she shouldn't be rebellious in such a way.

Bye-bye~

Lu Mingfei left a final farewell and slowly opened the door.

The girls outside the door were acting strangely. Xia Mi stood at the doorway, grinning at him incessantly, giving off a scheming vibe; Su Xiaoqiang was packing her things at her seat, looking irritated, hissing and making noises through her teeth; Chen Wenwen deliberately looked out the window, as if avoiding eye contact with him, but the nape of her neck was unnaturally red…

It was as if they had just moved from the doorway to their respective positions.

He ignored everyone else, waved at Xia Mi, and let out a snort of laughter that sounded somewhat like a cold laugh.

Xia Mi found it difficult to look the person in front of her in the eye, as it always reminded her of a certain adult she dared not face. But once again confirming that her feeling was correct, it made her even happier.

"Take care, Senior Brother Lu. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. I'm always on call~" The girl eagerly handed over a note with a string of numbers on it, probably her phone number. She now seemed more like an insurance saleswoman than before.

She didn't feel ashamed at all; this was just a necessary stepping stone to achieve great things. Anyway, when the time came for her to betray someone, her fangs would be sharper than anyone else's, so there was no need to worry about momentary satisfaction.

"Bye bye then, Miss Ye~"

Lu Mingfei chuckled, deliberately uttered a certain word, and walked away, shaking his head.

Xia Mi wore a smile until he was completely out of sight before finally turning her head to reveal a fierce expression. However, she just happened to turn around and meet Chen Wenwen's gaze, as if she were venting her anger on the girl over there.

Chen Wenwen snorted softly, raised her head, and arrogantly looked away like a victor.

Xia Mi's anger surged up instantly, but she could only purse her lips and silently persuade herself to endure the humiliation.

……

"Chen Motong!" Guderian had never been so angry with the girl in front of him. His voice was so loud that it sounded like he was shouting, "I have already made it very clear to you that this mission is very important. It has even alarmed the school committee. How can you be so willful? If he really insists on giving up the Gate of Kassel because of this, you will definitely be punished. You may even be demoted."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Chen Motong waved his hand confidently.

Now that all the irrelevant people have left, she speaks frankly and without any hesitation, expressing her thoughts directly.

“I know very well that Lu Mingfei’s confession will not succeed, and it will be very painful,” she said. “That will be the best time to extend an olive branch to him. He will be even more devoted to us and to you. Don’t you want your favorite student to like you too? I’m talking about the kind of liking that comes from being saved.”

She, in turn, educated Guderian.

“But…” This argument was indeed somewhat tempting to Guderian, but he was more worried. “What if that girl agrees to Mingfei’s offer? Are we going to make an exception and extend an invitation to an ordinary person?”

"No way, I had Norma thoroughly investigate that girl's background. How could a girl who even wears pure white underwear agree to a grand confession from someone she doesn't like? She's just a proud little white flower~" Chen Motong grinned mischievously, her giggling voice somewhat annoying.
