Chapter 110 The most correct decision
The solidified time was like a calm water surface. As Lu Mingze gently threw out the fork, the calm time was rippled by two "ding-dong" sounds.
The little angel Su Xiaoqiang was digging into the piece of tiramisu in front of her with a fork, not knowing at all that the fork in her hand actually belonged to Lu Mingfei.
Although her face showed a calm and bored expression, the fact that she was sitting upright and tense, and her eyelashes were fluttering like a bird, showed that she was not as calm as she appeared.
Lu Mingfei was actually quite calm at first. It was just a matter of dealing with a little girl, but now he has already mastered the task.
But the words that the little devil said during the pause made something in his heart stir again.
It was like a cold snake was swimming across his chest, tempting him to eat the apple from the Garden of Eden with its seductive voice.
"What do you want to say?" Su Xiaoqiang asked again.
As the saying goes, the first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. When the little goddess asked Lu Mingfei for the third time, her voice had completely lost its previous confidence, like a little wild cat that was finally tamed and an eagle that was finally subdued by the torture.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, what did he originally want to say? Oh, yes, he wanted to explain to the little goddess that he didn't take her joke seriously, and told her not to take it to heart. After turning the page, they could meet and laugh it off and still be good friends.
In a few days, I will accompany you to the dinner of the Chenglong movie conference. In a few days, you can go to Hong Kong to buy e-sports lottery tickets for me and buy Sky Li Xiaofeng to win. After I get rich, I will go to Aspasia to treat you to dinner. This time, I will pay the bill, so don't be polite to me.
But even though Lu Mingze had left, those words were still dancing somewhere in his chest:
"I can tell you clearly, brother, that as long as you ask her to fulfill her promise, she will definitely do it."
There was a strange golden light in the depths of the little devil's pupils, and his cynical tone contained the temptation of the devil:
"Brother, you also saw her pair of white, straight and slender legs just now, right? With just a word from you, maybe you can sit next to Su Xiaoqiang and touch her beautiful legs. Brother, dare you say that you are not eager to do anything?"
Damn Lu Mingze, you fucking ruined my moral character!
Lu Mingfei glanced at Su Xiaoqiang's soft and rosy lips like roses. At this moment, all he had to do was to answer multiple-choice questions. Either choose A and say he didn't take it seriously, or choose B and ask the little angel to fulfill the bet. One of them was the correct answer and the other was the wrong answer. If he really couldn't make up his mind, he could just roll the dice and leave it to fate.
Listen to Hammer and leave it to fate. Damn it!
“What I actually wanted to say is.”
Su Xiaoqiang's body tensed up all of a sudden, and the words of denial and shamelessness were already rolling back and forth in his mind.
"Actually, I didn't take the bet seriously. I noticed that you seemed a little strange these days, and I don't know if it was because of the bet. If so, you don't have to care so much. It was just a joke."
Lu Mingfei said, smiling and shrugging: "If not, then I am just being self-righteous. Don't take it to heart. I will punish myself by drinking three cups."
As he said that, he grabbed the almost full cup of mocha in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
As the coffee goes down my throat, my heart starts to race.
Shit, I really said it out loud.
What is the correct answer? There is no correct answer in life, only the answer you want to choose.
The little angel is not anyone's accessory or property. She is a real person and an excellent girl who is qualified to enjoy her own life. Why should I restrict her independent personality just because of a joking bet?
Lu Mingfei put down the cup, picked up the toilet paper on the saucer, and wiped the coffee foam around his mouth.
"You still need two cups." Lu Mingfei said.
"forget it."
Su Xiaoqiang curled his lips and crossed his arms, "A cup of mocha costs 48 yuan, do you think it's a bottle of Tsingtao Xuan for 3 yuan? If you want to be fined three cups, go and pay for it yourself, I don't want to waste this money."
It seems like nothing has changed, yet it also seems like something has changed.
"Don't be so narcissistic, okay? It was just a drunken joke, I forgot about it a long time ago."
Su Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You, on the other hand, seem to take this joke very seriously. Have you really had any evil thoughts these days? Don't let our friendship go sour."
"If you really have evil intentions, would I still ask you not to take it seriously?"
"Who knows?" Su Xiaoqiang snorted with a curled lip corner: "Maybe you have the desire but not the courage."
"What if I directly say 'Little angel, you don't want others to know...', how will you respond?"
"Pah!" The little goddess blushed, "Stop watching things that are not suitable for children."
"What do you mean by not suitable for children?" Lu Mingfei played dumb, "What are you talking about, little goddess?"
"you!……"
Looking at the little angel's ashamed, angry, yet helpless expression, Lu Mingfei smiled with pride from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of relaxed and distance-free interaction gave him a long-lost sense of relief.
Lu Mingfei shrugged in his heart like a winner.
Lu Mingze, you see, I rejected the option you gave me, so I win.
Like a heavy page of the past finally being turned, the two of them started joking and doing things without any sense of boundaries again.
Su Xiaoqiang said that Lu Mingfei must have said he didn't take it seriously because he had the desire but not the courage. Lu Mingfei asked Su Xiaoqiang how he knew I didn't have the courage. Su Xiaoqiang crossed his thighs and patted the seat beside him, saying that if Lu Mingfei had the courage, he could sit over and touch his legs. If he avoided Su Xiaoqiang, he would write the three words backwards.
Lu Mingfei became scared again when he looked at Su Xiaoqiang's white thighs. Of course, it was not that he didn't dare to touch them, but he was afraid that after touching them he would regret choosing option A and would want to choose option B.
The little angel swung her legs provocatively, smiling as if she had received revenge.
The setting sun outside the cafe was scorching, and the road was baked dry and hard. Who still remembered that it rained in the morning?
"Okay, it's almost time." As the sky darkened, the little goddess took out her phone to check the time, "It's almost time for us to leave."
"It's almost there."
Lu Mingfei nodded and stood up.
Today I have gained a lot. I have resolved the knot in the little goddess' heart, completed the task assigned by Liu Miaomiao, and did not let Lu Mingze lead me by the nose. I walked the path I wanted to walk and made the choices I wanted to make. What the hell is the harem line? There is no emotional foundation. What kind of relationship is it that is tied up by an inexplicable bet?
The little angel carried her RAINS backpack behind her in a casual and relaxed manner. She changed her schoolbag again, no longer the Kipling one. It seemed that after changing her schoolbag, even her mood changed.
"Let's go."
"OK."
The little angel walked in front, and when the door was pushed open, there was another "ding-ling-ling" sound of wind chimes, which was relaxing and pleasant to the ear.
The little angel held the door for Lu Mingfei and nodded to signal Lu Mingfei behind her to catch up quickly.
Lu Mingfei had just walked past the bar in front of the door to order and was about to go out when he was stopped by someone behind him.
"Wait a moment, classmate."
It was the female college student waitress who worked part-time at the counter who called him.
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqiang asked from behind Lu Mingfei, "Are there any bills left?"
"No, someone left a note for this classmate and asked me to give it to him when he was about to leave the cafe."
Note?
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He never thought about who would leave a note for him in the coffee shop.
Could it be that the paralyzed senior brother? He had something that was inconvenient to communicate over the phone, so he left a note for me?
The waiter turned around and took down a neatly folded piece of paper from the shelf behind the bar.
"Before I give it to you, let me confirm with you again. Are you Lu Mingfei?"
Lu Mingfei nodded.
The waiter handed the note to Lu Mingfei with a smile.
It is light purple paper, but the familiar fragrance, which is bright but not vulgar, and the color remind people of a flower with the scientific name of Iris gracilipes, which is in the same genus as the butterfly flower.
This flower originated in China, but is now a specialty of Japan. Lu Mingfei had seen this flower during his romantic escape with Eri. It has a very peculiar Chinese name, Jizhuo'e.
"What did you write?"
The little angel's head stretched over from the side curiously, and the warm fragrance from her breath sprayed on Lu Mingfei's neck.
Lu Mingfei opened the paper, and the little angel read out the words on it attentively.
"Congratulations, you made the right decision~"
The handwriting was beautiful and sharp, written in small regular script with a ballpoint pen. However, the handwriting did not have the roundness that small regular script should have. It was more like the force of a knife that could not be retracted, sharp and cold.
"What does this mean? It feels so confusing." The little angel muttered.
Of course Lu Mingfei knew what this sentence meant. He suddenly had a feeling, not powerlessness, nor fear, but a strange feeling of being pulled forward by some invisible thread.
Maybe life seems to have many endings, but in fact, fate has already been determined. His life experiences seemingly accidental options again and again, but in fact, they will eventually be coupled to the same ending.
Although he knew who left the note, Lu Mingfei still couldn't help asking:
"Can you tell me who left this note for me?"
"Let me think about it. It's a woman wearing sunglasses. Although I can't see her face completely, she should be pretty. She's very tall and has a long ponytail."
The waiter glanced at Su Xiaoqiang next to Lu Mingfei, but still didn't say "great figure and long legs".
"She came about five minutes before you and said that a pair of students from Shilan Middle School would be coming later. The girl was very pretty and the boy was a little handsome. She asked me to give this note to the boy when they were about to leave."
Very beautiful, tall, with a long ponytail.
Lu Mingfei vaguely sketched out a blurry figure in his mind. It seemed very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was right away.
……
"Done. I left the note for the little white rabbit."
Jiude Mai typed these words.
After a "ding dong" sound was heard and confirmation came that the text message had been sent, Jiude Mai held the phone in one hand, took off her sunglasses and looked directly at the sunset.
She was now sitting in front of the bus stop in front of Shilan Middle School, her long, well-proportioned and charming legs stretched out wantonly, attracting the attention of countless boys around her.
But she didn't have time to pay attention to these glances. She was currently eating a candied haws, which she had bought from the stall owner at the entrance of Shilan Middle School.
The straw target with candied haws on it looked like a giant mace. She picked the biggest one among the maces.
A minute later, the reply text message came: "OK, received."
Jiude Mai suddenly sent a text message:
"Potato Chip Girl, do you think the shape and color of the sunset are like a candied haws?"
