Chapter 120 Liu Miaomiao's Mother's Methods
Lu Mingfei, who had his back to the driveway, knew nothing. He only saw Liu Miaomiao in front of him suddenly stand up straight and obediently with a nervous expression.

While I was still wondering what happened to the little girl, I caught a glimpse of the black BMW parked in the lane next to me.

The moment I turned around subconsciously, I happened to meet a pair of eyes that looked very similar to Liu Miaomiao's, which appeared from behind the slowly lowering car window.

Good genes are always passed down from generation to generation. Liu Miaomiao has a pair of very cute almond-shaped eyes, as if there is a whole lake hidden in them. When she blinks, ripples will appear on the surface of the lake.

Liu Miaomiao's mother also has a pair of very beautiful almond eyes, but what is hidden in her eyes is not a lake, but the sea, as if all the vicissitudes and experiences she has experienced are sunk in them.

Liu Miaomiao trotted obediently to the car window.

"Mom, why are you back?"

Liu Miaomiao lowered her eyes, feeling uneasy, and prayed that her mother had not seen what she had just done.

Her family has strict discipline. Although her parents are relatively open-minded and do not forbid her from having normal interactions with her classmates, they do not allow her to have overly intimate interactions with classmates of the opposite sex and strictly forbid her to cross the line of ordinary friends.

"You left your sheet music in the car."

Ji Ruyan took out a music score filled with notes written with pen from the passenger seat next to her and handed it to her daughter through the car window.

Liu Miaomiao patted her head in her heart. Just now when she was in the car, she saw Lu Mingfei on the side of the road, and she was so happy that she left the music score on the seat and forgot to take it.

Just as Liu Miaomiao reached out and respectfully took the music score from her mother, Ji Ruyan spoke softly:
"What's that boy's name?"

Liu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the scene of Lu Mingfei feeding her tea eggs had been seen by her mother.

"His name is Lu Mingfei." Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips nervously.

"Lu Mingfei?" Ji Ruyan tilted her head slightly. "Is he the kid who was in your class in junior high school and whose parents' meetings were often ignored?"

"Yes."

"Not so good grades?"

"He, his grades are very good now. He ranked 69th in the last exam! And he is also the monitor of our class."

Liu Miaomiao pouted unconsciously, trying to prove Lu Mingfei's excellence.

"Oh? You told me that you wanted a classmate to come to your house to tutor you this weekend. Was it Lu Mingfei?"

"That, that is..." Liu Miaomiao hesitated to speak
Seeing her daughter's panicked look, Ji Ruyan, who was originally uncertain, now has a general understanding of the situation.

Miaomiao is most likely in love with this boy named Lu Mingfei. It is even possible that the two of them are already together.

No, I should have noticed it earlier.

In previous Shilan Middle School anniversary performances, Miaomiao played well-known, simple and pleasant piano pieces such as "Canon" and "Moonlight".

But this time, Miaomiao chose a relatively unpopular piece, the piano piece "Girl's Prayer" composed by Polish female pianist Badaziewska when she was 18 years old.

This is a piano piece about a girl expressing her love.

Ji Ruyan never thought her daughter would be so bold in expressing her love in front of 6000 teachers and students of Shilan Middle School. You know, when she first started learning piano, she didn't even dare to go on stage.

The expression on Ji Ruyan's face turned cold as ice. She raised the car window and said, "Okay, go to class first. I'll talk to you in the evening when I get home."

"I……"

Before Liu Miaomiao could finish her words, the black BMW started its engine, merged with the traffic next to it, and sped away.

……

Noon, canteen.

The metal plate fell on the table with a "bang", and Su Xiaoqiang sat down opposite Lu Mingfei.

"Tell me, Lu Mingfei, what evil thing did you do to Liu Miaomiao? Not only did she not come to talk to you all morning, she didn't even want to eat with you."

Su Xiaoqiang supported his chin with his hand and glanced at Lu Mingfei with a smile.

But it was really a matter of time. Last week, Liu Miaomiao had dinner with me, and the little goddess avoided me. I finally managed to talk the little goddess out of this matter, but Liu Miaomiao had another problem.

Lu Mingfei looked innocent and said, "I didn't do anything."

"I don't believe it. Why would someone treat you like this if you didn't do anything?"

"Actually it's..."

Lu Mingfei briefly told Su Xiaoqiang what happened at the school gate that morning. "It's what you deserve." The little goddess gloated, "Who told you to tease others for no reason? Now you've been caught alive by their parents, right?"

“How can I flirt for no reason?” Lu Mingfei retorted, thinking to himself, I obviously flirt because I have something to do!

"I actually noticed that Liu Miaomiao has been eating a little less recently, so I thought about feeding her more. Isn't the school anniversary in October? And last week, Liu Miaomiao started dieting for her piano solo, and only ate a bite of rice at noon. I was afraid that she would starve if she continued like this, so I happened to meet her this morning and fed her half a tea egg. Who knew..."

It turned out to be the case.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't expect that Lu Mingfei was so thoughtful and could actually notice these details.

However, in her previous interactions with Lu Mingfei, she did discover that this guy seemed to have a high emotional intelligence...

The silent care in the details can really touch people.

She suddenly understood why Liu Miaomiao liked this shabby-looking guy in front of her.

What the hell! What the hell am I thinking about! How can I understand why Liu Miaomiao likes this guy!
Su Xiaoqiang shook his head violently, exhaled a long breath in front of Lu Mingfei's puzzled eyes, then waved his slender arms lightly, as if trying to divert attention, and said:
"Don't worry, Liu Miaomiao just can't get over the hurdle in her heart for the time being, so she's hiding from you. She'll be fine in a couple of days. As for Liu Miaomiao's mother, she can't stop Liu Miaomiao from liking someone. Even if she didn't let Liu Miaomiao date in high school, can she stop her in college?"

Lu Mingfei blinked, thinking that he was not worried.

Rather than worrying that Liu Miaomiao would ignore him, he was actually more worried about whether Liu Miaomiao would have health problems if she continued like this.

Liu Miaomiao had been eating less recently. Although they were still in the first year of high school, the little girl was under great academic pressure to stay in the top 50 of her grade. In addition, the school anniversary was coming soon, so she had to take some time out every day to practice the piano.

Now this kind of thing happens again.

Alas, I can only hope that Liu Miaomiao’s family won’t put too much pressure on her.

……

Liu Miaomiao actually did not blame Lu Mingfei for what happened in the morning.

She only complained about herself, why was she so greedy!

If only I hadn’t been so greedy for those two bites of tea eggs!
But...it's really delicious...

Liu Miaomiao's heart was shrouded in dark clouds the whole day, and she was worried that her mother would do something extreme, such as telling the teacher about this matter and inviting both parents to have tea or something like that.

She was not worried about anything. Although her mother was very strict with her, she would never blame or beat her, and her father doted on her even more.

But she knew that Lu Mingfei's parents were away from the country all year round, and Lu Mingfei's proxy guardians, his uncle and aunt, were not very kind to Lu Mingfei.

If the parents are really invited over, who knows what will happen to Mingfei.

What worried her even more was that if Lu Mingfei's living alone outside was exposed...

Liu Miaomiao was so upset that she was absent-minded the whole day. She didn't even listen in class and just sat in her seat in a daze.

Then, at the end of the first class in the afternoon, Liu Miaomiao was called to the office by her homeroom teacher, Lao Wang.

"This is the new rehearsal list for the school anniversary program. Liu Miaomiao, take a look."

Old Wang sighed, took out a booklet from the drawer and handed it to Liu Miaomiao.

School anniversary program rehearsal list? Wasn't it distributed last week?

Liu Miaomiao frowned in confusion and flipped through the program. When she turned to the penultimate page "Piano Solo Performance", her expression suddenly froze.

The work she originally submitted, Badazevska's "A Girl's Prayer", was changed to Maxim's "Exodus".

"The school committee discussed it and felt that although the original song 'Girl's Prayer' was full of youthful vitality, the theme of the song was not very good. After communicating with your instructor, they decided to change it to 'Exodus', which is more in line with the theme of middle school students' passion and positivity. Liu Miaomiao, don't be too sad. If it doesn't work out this year, you can try again next year. You play this song often, so you should be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly..."

Liu Miaomiao's hands were trembling slightly, and the teacher's following words had turned into a string of unpleasant white noise, breaking into pieces in her ears.

The school committee would not care about such trivial matters. She knew that this must be the work of her mother.

The father of the little angel Su Xiaoqiang has the ability to put pressure on the school authorities of Shilan Middle School, and Liu Miaomiao's mother also has this ability.

Mainly, it's most likely just the first thing the mother does.

Maybe later...
