Chapter 196 The Little Fairy Who Is Not Easy to Mess With
Of course, the little goddess was not with me today. Not to mention today, I haven't had any private contact with the little goddess for a long time. Even the QQ messages I sent were much less than before.
But Lu Mingfei certainly couldn't just tell the little girl's father that he had never seen his daughter nor had any contact with her.
When a child is lost, parents are often the most anxious. Now we have to calm the little girl's father down first.
“Don’t worry, uncle.” Lu Mingfei said, “Although I’m not with Su… and Qiangqiang today, I can help you contact her first.”
The little girl's father was very stable: "Well, thank you for your help."
After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, the call was hung up. Su Zhenqi stared at the extinguished phone screen, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
……
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei first called the little goddess several times, but of course, his calls fell on deaf ears.
He was actually a little hesitant, wondering whether he should explain the whole story to Liu Miaomiao first and let Liu Miaomiao contact the little goddess. After all, at present, the relationship between the little girl and the little goddess was better than his relationship with her.
It’s just that the little girl is still waiting for him to attend the family dinner excitedly. Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to affect her mood. Besides, he can’t get through to the little angel, so it’s likely that the little girl won’t be able to get through either.
It was obvious that Su Xiaoqiang didn't want anyone to find him, so he didn't answer his call.
In fact, having known Su Xiaoqiang for such a long time, Lu Mingfei has always felt that Su Xiaoqiang's character can be considered reasonable. Although he always looks like someone who is not easy to mess with, he actually won't do anything earth-shattering. Instead, he is very considerate.
Often after quarreling with you on the first day, he will drag you into a team to play basketball the next day.
The heart has the Tigers, fine sniffing the rose.
So the little angel's behavior, which seemed like she wanted to completely cut off contact, was quite unexpected to Lu Mingfei. He didn't know what the father and daughter had quarreled about.
Lu Mingfei put away his phone. He definitely didn’t have time to go to the barber shop right now, so he could only do his hair in front of the mirror. Now he had to think about where the little angel might go.
When Chen Wenwen is unhappy, she will go to the library. When Miaomiao is unhappy, she will stay in the piano room and play the piano. Where will the little angel go?
Lu Mingfei felt that he should know where the little goddess might be. He seemed very familiar with that place, but he couldn't remember it, as if something was always blocking a nerve in his brain.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei's phone rang again, and the caller ID showed Lao Lei. The reason why Lu Mingfei had Lao Lei's number was that the two added each other when Lao Lei visited Shilan Middle School during the last school anniversary.
But what could Lao Lei be looking for me for?
Lu Mingfei muttered as he picked up the phone. Before he could say anything, a voice complaining came from the other end:
"Is that Lu Mingfei? Come and pick up your girl quickly, I'm about to be scolded to death by the guests!"
Lu Mingfei was stunned. "What do you mean my girl?"
"That girl you took with you to play StarCraft last time."
"The girl you brought with you to play StarCraft last time?"
Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then immediately reacted.
The girl that Lao Lei was talking about, could it be that he was referring to the little angel?
Depend on!
After Lao Lei said this, Lu Mingfei's mind instantly became clear.
Isn't it Xinyu Internet Cafe that I am very familiar with? In my previous life, before I graduated, I spent every day in Xinyu Internet Cafe.
Xinyu Internet Cafe was also the place where I first met Xiao Tiannv in my life. At that time, Xiao Tiannv looked very upset, and I was wondering why she went back to the Internet Cafe. It seemed that Xiao Tiannv had a quarrel with her family last time, so she just found an Internet Cafe to hide.
"I understand." Lu Mingfei said to Lao Lei on the other end of the phone, "You, please help me keep an eye on her first! I'll be here soon, you must not let her go."
"Okay, okay, then you have to hurry up!" Lao Lei complained.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei hurriedly left the supermarket, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, gave an address and went straight to Xinyu Internet Cafe.
As soon as you push open the door of the Internet cafe, a familiar smell hits you in the face. The air is mixed with the smell of cigarettes, betel nuts, and the body odor of people who haven't taken a bath for a long time. The high concentration of carbon dioxide makes people feel dizzy when they are in it.
Lu Mingfei closed the door of the Internet cafe behind him and stood there looking around. Some people in the Internet cafe were playing games, some were watching movies, and some were streaming videos. Everyone was doing their own thing and no one looked up at him.
Lu Mingfei walked over the various crooked lines on the floor, came to the counter, and patted the table. Lao Lei opened his sleepy eyes and put his legs down from the table.
"Finally you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lao Lei muttered while yawning.
"Where is she?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Lao Lei stretched out his hand and pointed upwards. "She's upstairs. Be quiet now. You don't know how noisy she was just now. The sound of her slamming the keyboard and yelling could even be heard by people downstairs."
“Throwing the keyboard?” Lu Mingfei was a little confused. Although the little angel had a rather fierce personality, she shouldn’t be the type of person who would get angry after losing a game.
"Was she beaten while playing StarCraft?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"That's not it."
Lao Lei waved his hands. "At first I thought she was cursing because she lost the game. After I finished the call, I went to take a look and found out that a kid saw your girl coming alone and wanted to chat her up, but your girl pointed at him and cursed him back. The guy was so angry that he wanted to touch her, but she picked up the keyboard and smashed it to the ground."
Lu Mingfei was secretly surprised to see this wrestling scene. He knew that the little goddess was not easy to mess with. She always gave off an aura that kept strangers away, and there were cordons within half a meter around her. He didn't expect that she could be so fierce and could remain calm even in the face of the Internet cafe hooligans.
"Is it okay?"
"Who are you asking?"
"Ask both."
"That kid wasn't hurt. You know the quality of our Internet cafe's keyboards. He only suffered some minor injuries. And he seemed to be embarrassed to be beaten by a woman, so he ran away in shame."
"Where's that little angel... the girl who played games with me?"
"That girl was fine, she just cried for a while after hitting someone. I gave her a few packs of paper and helped her move the little kids who were watching nearby." Lao Lei said, "Remember to give me the money for the paper later."
"How many packets of paper?"
"Three guarantees."
Lu Mingfei took out a one-dollar coin and a fifty-cent coin from his pocket and laid them out on the counter. Without waiting for Lao Lei to say anything, he said "thank you" and hurried up the stairs, with Lao Lei's cursing following him.
"Damn! You really only gave me one dollar and fifty cents? Two dollars is fine too? I've never seen anyone as stingy as you!"
Lu Mingfei ignored him and walked up to the second floor. He glanced and saw Su Xiaoqiang sitting in the corner, sitting in the same seat as when he first met her. Lu Mingfei walked straight to the seat next to Su Xiaoqiang and sat down. Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously turned her head to the side, her eyelids swollen. When she saw that it was Lu Mingfei, a look of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes, and her frowning brows relaxed a little.
"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoqiang turned his face away and looked at the screen.
"Can't I just come to the Internet cafe?" Lu Mingfei smiled, touched the power button to turn on the computer, and after a moment the monitor lit up, and Lu Mingfei tapped away on the keyboard.
"You didn't apply for a temporary card?"
"Yeah, I used my membership card."
"But don't you have to be an adult to get a membership card?"
"I used my cousin's ID card. My brother secretly used my uncle's ID card to open a membership in this Internet cafe."
After Lu Mingfei boarded the plane, he grabbed the headphones and put them on. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Su Xiaoqiang and asked, "Would you like to play some StarCraft?"
Su Xiaoqiang sniffed and said, "Okay."
Lu Mingfei opened StarCraft and created a room on the local area network. Unlike last time, he did not invite people to play PVP. Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang opened a room together, and all the opponents added were bots.
When they first entered the game, the two of them sat side by side, playing their own games without saying a word. They didn't look like friends playing together, but more like two strangers sitting together by chance. However, when Su Xiaoqiang encountered something she didn't know how to operate, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to teach her, and the two of them broke the silence and began to chat casually.
"Don't you have anything to do this afternoon?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, looking at the computer screen in front of her. The cold light of the blue monitor shone dimly on her face.
"Is something wrong?"
"Didn't you say we'd go to Miaomiao's house tonight?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, wondering how the little goddess knew about this. But then he thought about it again. When Liu Miaomiao's parents told him that they were going to his house for dinner on the weekend, there were many other people in the backstage. Given the gossip level of the students at Shilan Middle School, it was not surprising that this matter was spread.
"Yeah, it's okay, don't worry, just play two games first."
Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Did my dad ask you to come?"
Lu Mingfei touched his nose, but the little goddess still saw through it, "Yes."
"Oh."
The conversation came to an abrupt end here. For a while, neither of them spoke anymore. Only the sound of keyboards and the click of the mouse could be heard between them. After a while, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you curious about why I have conflicts with my father?"
"If I ask you, will you tell me?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Su Xiaoqiang was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he pouted, "You haven't asked me, how do you know if I will tell you."
"Well, I'll ask you now. Little angel, why are you in conflict with your father?"
"Tsk, there's no sincerity at all. I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"Tsk, why are you like this?"
"What's wrong with me? I never promised you that I would tell you, right?" Su Xiaoqiang bit his lip and smiled proudly.
However, seeing Lu Mingfei's face full of resentment as he looked at him, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't hold back his arrogance for too long. After holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Forget it, forget it. Since you want to know so much, I will tell you reluctantly."
Lu Mingfei curled his lips and thought, "It's you who wanted to tell me, okay? You looked like you wanted to talk, okay? I don't know how long you've been holding it in your heart."
It seems that the little hooligan who tried to flirt with her was just unlucky. Although the little angel was not easy to mess with, because of her good upbringing, she generally would not resort to verbal or physical violence against others... Of course, Lu Mingfei was an exception.
But the little angel must have been angry today and was in a bad mood to begin with, and that tactless guy came over to chat with her, and then she was taught a lesson by the weak little angel who was barely able to even tie a chicken.
But Lu Mingfei knew that although the little angel had a long-lasting desire to talk in her heart, if you asked her directly, she might not answer you directly because of her easily nagging personality. That was why Lu Mingfei deliberately did not ask directly, but took the initiative to arouse her desire to express herself in a roundabout way.
"My dad won't let me visit my mom."
As the little angel spoke, she rubbed her feet in black stockings against each other, took off her shoes, stepped on the chair, and shrank into the seat. She took her hands off the keyboard and wrapped them around her slender legs.
Lu Mingfei recalled that the little angel had told him that her mother’s death anniversary seemed to be in November, and that she had buried her mother’s ashes alone in the place where her mother grew up.
"Why? Do your father and your mother have a bad relationship?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"No." Su Xiaoqiang buried his chin under his knees and shook his head. "In fact, in my memory, my parents had a very loving relationship. You could even say they were a model couple."
"Then why..."
"I don't know either. Ever since my mother passed away, my father has become a different person. He doesn't allow me to have any contact with anything related to my mother. Even my grandmother, my father wants me to have as little contact with them as possible. It's as if there's some grudge between the two families."
Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. He didn't have much contact with Xiao Tiannv's father, but judging from his appearance, he didn't think that Xiao Tiannv's father was an unreasonable person. But not allowing Xiao Tiannv to contact her mother's family... It seemed a little unreasonable.
Su Xiaoqiang continued, "But privately, I still exchange emails with my uncles, aunts, and cousins behind my father's back. But the only time we meet in person is every year on the anniversary of my mother's death. When I go to pay respect to my mother, my aunts and uncles will go with me."
"Oh oh..."
"But, you know what? My dad is really too much!"
Su Xiaoqiang gnashed his teeth instantly, turned his head, and said viciously with two swollen eyes:
"There's only a certain period of time every year when I can meet them and my mother, but my father doesn't even give me that little bit of time. He also said that Portugal has been experiencing political turmoil recently. Portugal is in Northern Europe, right? How could there be political turmoil there? People there live like they're retired..."
Lu Mingfei suddenly interrupted Su Xiaoqiang: "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqiang blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him puzzledly.
"So..." Lu Mingfei said, "You are going to Portugal to pay tribute to your mother?"
"Ah."
"When?"
"It's going to be in November soon." Su Xiaoqiang said to himself. "I have booked my flight ticket for tomorrow. I have already made up my mind. If my dad doesn't allow me to go, I will go alone..."
Lu Mingfei was stunned and thought to himself, "Little angel, your father may not have lied to you. Portugal is really not safe recently."
