Chapter 158: In the middle again?

Half an hour later, the two men left the house.

Today, Lu Mingfei changed into ordinary clothes, a Uniqlo shirt and Baleno pants, a combination of Japanese cheap and domestic foreign brands. It is a classic outfit for small town youth.

It was as if last night's returned overseas nobleman Ricardo M. Lu was a short-lived magic that could only last for one dance party. At twelve o'clock, Cinderella's magic would expire on time, and then he would be beaten back to his original form, turning back into Cinderella of Shilan Middle School. Ugh, the bad boy Lu Mingfei.

Of course, strictly speaking, Lu Mingfei can no longer be called a loser. As the strongest man on the list of those who should be killed, second only to Chu Zihang, if Lu Mingfei is still called a loser, then probably all the boys in Shilan Middle School are losers.

Compared to Lu Mingfei who was dressed simply, Xia Mi looked much more elegant.

She was wearing a simple white dress with a thin pink cotton sun protection jacket on top. This sun protection jacket was one of the only pieces of clothing other than the dress in the pile of clothes Lu Mingfei brought.

Although both clothes are of ordinary brands, Xia Mi wears them in a very girlish way. It is obvious that she has carefully considered the matching of clothes. Because she is wearing plain colors, she only chose a pair of white shoes for her feet.

"Junior sister, what do you want to eat?" Lu Mingfei fumbled with his wallet to see how much money he had. These days are different from the past. Many places don't have POS machines. If you don't have enough money, you have to go to the bank to withdraw some.

"Senior Brother, you...are asking me?" Xia Mi turned her head.

"What else? Aren't we celebrating your recovery from a serious illness? Oh no, aren't we celebrating your waking up from a nap?" Lu Mingfei said the nonsense without changing his expression.

It's not that Lu Mingfei didn't want to recommend it, but there weren't many good restaurants around here... Actually, there should be some. But according to the "Liu Miaomiao Dietary Guide" given to him by the little girl, he was not allowed to eat at many restaurants.

In fact, the bigger the restaurant, the more smoky it looks, the better the food should be. It is because the business is so good that the fumes will turn the door curtains and walls yellow.

Liu Miaomiao obviously doesn't understand this principle. She thinks a storefront is hygienic just because it is clean. In fact, some storefronts have white walls simply because they have no business.

However, Lu Mingfei still followed the "doctor's advice" very much and rarely went out to eat. The main reason was that he didn't have many opportunities to eat out, and most of the time he ate in the school cafeteria. The one or two meals he had were just for show, and they were a little unpalatable.

"Since you said so, Senior Brother, I won't be polite."

Xia Mi counted on her fingers one by one, and the names of the restaurants she called out made Lu Mingfei's face twitch from slightly to very ugly and then to a look of fear. They were all Michelin and Black Pearl restaurants that the rich second-generations in the class liked to brag about.

“Brother, we are not local tyrants. Junior sister, you don’t have to be so cruel.” Lu Mingfei raised his hands in surrender.

"This is what I want to eat. You asked me yourself, brother." Xia Mi put her hands behind her back and made a face. "You can't afford it if I tell you. You'll lose face in front of me, brother."

Lu Mingfei didn’t know whether Xia Mi really wanted to go to these restaurants to eat, or was just retorting to him because of the nonsense he just said about “celebrating her waking up from her nap”.

If Xia Mi really wanted to eat at these restaurants, Lu Mingfei could still afford to treat her to a few meals. But she probably didn't really want to eat there, after all, with her beauty, her admirers could book all the seats in these restaurants until after next year with just one word.

"Is there a dessert shop or something like that nearby?" Xia Mi sighed, "We've already passed the restaurant. I'm the type who can't eat a proper meal after passing the restaurant."

She either sleeps for days at a time or skips lunch. With such a strange schedule and habits, it's no wonder that Xiao Long Nu never grows up.

But it’s easy if you want to eat dessert. Although Lu Mingfei doesn’t know any delicious restaurants, he knows some delicious dessert shops.

"There is a coffee shop called Open Mind not far from the school. Have you been there?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Xia Mi shook his head.

"Then I'll take you to try it." Lu Mingfei said, "Their desserts are their signature."

"The signature dish of a coffee shop is desserts? What is this? A coffee shop that doesn't want to make good desserts must not be a good milk tea shop?" Xia Mi widened her eyes.

These words were really quite in Xia Mi's style, and they made Lu Mingfei dream back to the days when he first met Xia Mi, with the soft and adorable junior sister cooperating with him in talking nonsense.

Come to think of it, the only people in the world who can compete with him in talking nonsense seem to be Xiaolongnu and Senior Brother Feichai.

These days, meeting a sympathetic rival is as difficult as meeting true love. So much so that long after Xiao Longnu died, on a sleepless night, he suddenly recalled his first encounter with her at the Chicago train station, and suddenly felt like a lone warrior.

"Since you said it's delicious, let's go." Xia Mi said.

But now Dugu Qiubai has met the Little East Evil Guo Xiang again, and suddenly he has a rival again. Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "Let's go."

……

Lu Mingfei placed three plates of cake on the table, two on his side and one on the opposite side.

Chen Wenwen smiled, nodded, and said thank you. Two long, soft strands of hair swayed in front of her gentle, quiet eyes.

“You’re welcome.” Lu Mingfei replied.

Although he has complained about it more than once... Lu Mingfei still feels that his luck with women is a little too good recently.

And they are not bad peach blossoms, but all high-quality peach blossoms. School beauties are around him one after another. There are even more and more new female characters. Even going out to a dessert shop can trigger a branch line of Chen Wenwen.

Xia Mi and Chen Wenwen had known each other before because of the hitchhiking incident.

The clever and eccentric Little East Evil transformed into a well-behaved, cute and polite school girl in front of Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen was chatting with this school girl whom she had just met not long ago. Lu Mingfei was sipping cappuccino beside her and watching the sunlight shining on the sides of the two people's faces.

This scene was really amazing. He had only dared to look at Chen Wenwen's profile secretly before, but in this life he could actually stare at her so shamelessly and openly.

It has to be said that many things are very different when seen openly and directly. When you secretly look at Chen Wenwen's profile, you can only see her gentle eyebrows and upturned nose. Her beauty can only be tasted briefly in your eyes.

When you look at it openly, you can see more details.

For example, Lu Mingfei discovered that Chen Wenwen's face was visibly getting redder.

Of course, this redness was not particularly exaggerated. If Chen Wenwen's face was originally just a piece of clean white paper, now it looked like a little bit of rouge was applied with the little finger and then gently smeared on the finger.

I guess what Cui Hu meant by “the human face and the peach blossoms complement each other red” in his poem is probably this.

Feeling Lu Mingfei's gaze staring at her, Chen Wenwen began to feel uneasy.

She had often felt boys looking at her, like Zhao Menghua, she knew he liked looking at her recently because every time she turned her head, her eyes would meet his.

She actually had some understanding of what this look meant.

There were many boys like Zhao Menghua in the literature club. But almost everyone looked at her secretly. Chen Wenwen had never seen anyone look at her so openly like Lu Mingfei.

She even suspected that there was a little cream on the corner of her mouth that she didn't wipe off when she was eating the cake just now.

"Brother, what are you daydreaming about?" Xia Mi suddenly turned around and stood up to speak up for justice.

After Xia Mi's reminder, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that his gaze just now seemed a little disrespectful. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and I was lost in thought." Lu Mingfei followed Xia Mi to find the stairs for him.

"It's okay, I do this often." Chen Wenwen smiled and nodded at him, while taking out a piece of paper to wipe her mouth.

There is no cream either... Chen Wenwen thought.

Why would he look at himself...

"By the way, Chen Wenwen." Lu Mingfei suddenly called her.

"Ah?" Chen Wenwen was stunned and immediately looked up.

"Why are you here today?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Isn't your home quite far from here?"

It is the season of autumn heat recently and the temperature is not low. If it were not for taking Xia Mi out for dessert, Lu Mingfei would not have gone out based on the principle of staying at home if possible.

He knew where Chen Wenwen's home was. It was not far from his uncle and aunt's home, but it was far from the school. In the past, when he went home after class, he would sometimes take the same bus with Chen Wenwen, and then walk a distance together.

"I was going to the school to get some information, and then I came here on the way." Chen Wenwen said.

"material?"

"Yeah." Chen Wenwen opened the notebook under her arm and pushed it in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei had actually noticed the notebook under Chen Wenwen's arm a long time ago. Recently, Chen Wenwen was always writing in a notebook, and Lu Mingfei thought this was the notebook Chen Wenwen used to write in.

But when he saw the cover just now, Lu Mingfei noticed that the cover colors of the two notebooks seemed to be different. The cover of the notebook that Chen Wenwen wrote in was red, while the cover of the one in front of him was blue.

Lu Mingfei took a look at the contents of the notebook and suddenly frowned.

"Is this... the rehearsal list for the school anniversary?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Did you make this?"

"Yes." Chen Wenwen said, "Didn't the senior sister from the Organization Department ask us to talk to Liu Miaomiao before? The talk failed, and the student union was not very happy, so I said I would do it."

Lu Mingfei was actually present at the time. But Lu Mingfei had previously thought that the senior from the Student Union was just speaking in anger when she asked Chen Wenwen to do the rehearsal list. Unexpectedly, she actually gave up the task and became a hands-off boss.

Logically speaking, Chen Wenwen is not someone who can be bullied so easily.

Although she looks gentle, delicate and easy to talk to, she is actually weak on the outside and tough on the inside. She has her own opinions and personality. She is also very capable in managing the literary club.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to share the world with Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao.

"So you just agreed?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Are you here to get the program for the school anniversary party?"

"It's okay." Chen Wenwen said softly, "It's okay."

"No!" Xiao Long Nu suddenly stood up and patted her chest, like a female knight, "This is really too bullying! Senior sister, tell me which guy in the student union asked you to do this, and I will help you find him to reason with him!"

Xia Mi should know the senior sister from the student union who asked Chen Wenwen to do these things. She was Zhang Qiu, the manager of the basketball team, and she seemed to have a crush on the senior brother with facial paralysis.

Therefore, as long as we find Senior Brother Chu and talk about this matter, all problems should be solved. Maybe Senior Sister Zhang Qiu will even come to apologize to Chen Wenwen.

But Chen Wenwen shook her head and said, "It's okay. I've actually done almost half of it."

"Senior Sister, you are so easy to talk to..." Xia Mi muttered in a low voice.

"How about we help you do it together?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know why he suddenly said this, and even he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although he said a thousand times that he had let it go, but when something really happened, Lu Mingfei still seemed to be prone to sending out kindness cards.

Xia Mi was stunned and pointed at herself: "We?"

"Yes, yes, we." Lu Mingfei said, "Just now you were very loyal to your senior sister Chen Wenwen, and you even said you would help your senior sister find someone to seek justice. Come on, now is the time to show your loyalty."

Xia Mi curled her lips: "Just do it, who's afraid of who."

Before Chen Wenwen could react, she saw this pair of brother and sister, who seemed to be the opposite-sex versions of each other, turning their heads to look at her at the same time with tacit understanding.

Chen Wenwen was so scared that she quickly waved her hands and said, "No need to bother you. I can do it by myself. It's not a lot to do."

"No!" Xia Mi's attitude was very domineering.

Lu Mingfei was more of a man of action. He stood up and went to the front desk without saying anything. When he came back, he had two pens in his hands.

He handed one of the pens to Xia Mi.

Things had developed to this point, and Chen Wenwen felt that it would be meaningless to refuse no matter how much she tried, so she could only agree to let the two of them help.

This gives rise to a new question: how to sit.

There was only one notebook and only one file for the school anniversary program. Although Chen Wenwen had other papers for drafting, she still had to look at the files and the programs already arranged in the notebook before she could arrange the subsequent programs.

Therefore, the original seating arrangement, with Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi sitting on one side and Chen Wenwen sitting alone on the other, was obviously not feasible.

So obviously, there was only one choice left: that was the three of them together.

Fortunately, Chen Wenwen and Xia Mi are both thin. Although Lu Mingfei is a hidden hunk who looks thin when dressed but muscular when undressed, the cafe's booth sofa is long enough for the three of them to sit together without being too crowded.

The only embarrassing thing is that physical touching is inevitable.

This kind of thing is actually easy to solve, as long as Xia Mi, a girl, sits in the middle. Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi have already seen naked skin-to-skin intimacy, so it doesn't matter if their bodies touch each other.

But Xia Mi was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and said that she wanted to sit at the side.

Therefore, the final seating arrangement can only be as follows:
Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei, Chen Wenwen.
