Chapter 197 Rain Reflects Emotions

Lu Mingfei still remembered the pinned post he saw when he was visiting the Hunter Market yesterday. There might be some big moves by the mixed-bloods in Portugal in the near future.

Although Lu Mingfei didn’t know whether the mixed-blood’s actions were related to the political turmoil Su Xiaoqiang’s father mentioned, it was certain that Portugal was unsafe recently.

Although Lu Mingfei wanted to persuade Su Xiaoqiang not to go back to Portugal this year, it would be the same if he went next year, but he was not in a position to persuade Su Xiaoqiang now. Besides, her father's words were useless, let alone his own.

Besides, if she asked me why I said Portugal was unsafe recently, how would I answer? Should I tell her everything about the mixed-race people?

Although the little angel has dragon blood, she was not admitted to Kassel College in her previous life. Even if I am thinking about her, I can't tell her anything about the mixed-race.

However, he still tried to hint at it, "Maybe what your father said is not wrong? Maybe Portugal is really not safe recently, and your father is really worried that something bad will happen to you."

"I have to go anyway. I've even packed my suitcase and brought my ID card with me. At worst, I can ask my uncle to pick me up after I get off the plane."

The little angel patted the small suitcase next to her seat and estimated that it was probably enough to carry two or three sets of autumn clothes.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect that the little angel was so determined to go to Portugal and had everything ready.

"Have you got your passport ready?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

Su Xiaoqiang turned his head and stared at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am Portuguese. Why do I need a passport?"

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"What? Didn't I tell you that I was born in Portugal so I have Portuguese nationality, but I can choose again after I turn 18." Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand, "Don't talk about this anymore. It's annoying. Are you still going to play StarCraft? If not, get off the plane."

"You don't want to play anymore?"

"Let's stop playing. We've played long enough. It's almost time to go. Aren't you going to Miaomiao's house for dinner tonight? It will take some time to get to Miaomiao's house from here." Su Xiaoqiang said, "Have you bought everything? Gifts for the visit or something."

“The presents for Miaomiao’s parents have been bought.” Lu Mingfei picked up the gift bag from beside his legs.

"Didn't you buy Miaomiao's?"

"..."

"You don't know what gift to give Miaomiao, right?" Su Xiaoqiang sneered at him.

“Don’t be so mean. I had already thought about what gift to give Miaomiao, and then your dad called me, so I ran to find you. That’s why I didn’t buy a gift for Miaomiao.” Lu Mingfei said guiltily.

"Oh, so it's my fault?" Su Xiaoqiang was not angry at all. Maybe he felt relieved after talking to someone about what he had been holding back. "Okay, then I'll take you to find a place to buy Miaomiao a gift as an apology. I just happen to know that there's a Sanrio store near the school."

"What is Sanrio?"

"SANRIOCO, a Japanese company, Hello Kitty is their IP. Doesn't Miaomiao often wear a Hello Kitty hairpin?"

After Su Xiaoqiang said this, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that there was such a thing. When he and Liu Miaomiao were taking graduation photos, the Hello Kitty hairpin on Liu Miaomiao's head was swinging in front of him, which made the young man feel excited.

However, Lu Mingfei did not expect that the little angel was so thoughtful that she even noticed what hairpin Liu Miaomiao wore.

The two turned off their phones and went downstairs. When passing by the counter, Lu Mingfei said hello to Lao Lei. Lao Lei, holding a cigarette in his mouth, pouted at him and said, "The umbrella next to the counter is mine. You can take it. It looks like it's going to rain soon."

"Raining? No way?" Lu Mingfei remembered that the sky was still sunny when he came.

"That's what the weather forecast says anyway." Lao Lei shrugged.

However, after going out, Lu Mingfei saw that the sky was covered with lead-gray clouds. It wasn't raining yet, but the wind was very strong and chilly, making the little angel in a skirt and black stockings stamp her feet.

Lu Mingfei moved from Su Xiaoqiang's right side to her left side to block the wind for her.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei calmly.

It only took about ten minutes to walk from Xinyu Internet Cafe to Shilan Middle School. However, Lu Mingfei saw that Su Xiaoqiang was wearing so little and it seemed uncomfortable to walk against the wind, so he said, "Let's take a taxi?"

"Okay." Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

After hailing a car on the roadside, Su Xiaoqiang, carrying his suitcase, naturally sat in the back seat, told the driver his address, and Lu Mingfei sat on the outside.

On the way, Lu Mingfei did not forget that the little angel was going to Portugal, and tried to persuade her indirectly, but was rejected by Su Xiaoqiang with a roll of his eyes.

"If you're worried about me getting into trouble in Portugal, you don't have to be." Su Xiaoqiang said, "My mother's family is quite famous in Portugal. The manor is equipped with surveillance cameras, and the security team patrols 24 hours a day."

Manor? Lu Mingfei blinked blankly, thinking that he had heard something extraordinary. Wasn't a manor something that only the landlord class in the Middle Ages had? Landlords built manors on land and peasants farmed for them. Didn't the bourgeois revolution after the industrial revolution overthrow the rule of the landlord class? How come manors still exist in the 21st century?

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated Su Xiaoqiang. Not only did his father own a mine, his mother also had a manor. He had the blood of both capitalists and landlords.

But even so, Lu Mingfei didn't think it would be safe for the little goddess to go to Portugal. He had seen the skills of top hybrids like Chu Zihang and Caesar, any of whom could fight a company of American soldiers alone. If they really encountered hybrids, the security team would not be able to stop them.

Lu Mingfei wanted to say something, but Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand to signal him to shut up. "Okay, okay, stop talking. I'll think about whether to go to Portugal or not. Now it's important to get off the car and buy a gift for Miaomiao. If you're late, you'll be late. Instead of caring about me, you might as well focus on dealing with her parents."

After paying, Lu Mingfei opened the car door and got out first, and then closed the door after Su Xiaoqiang got out with the suitcase. Sanrio's store is located on a pedestrian street near Shilan Middle School. Lu Mingfei followed Su Xiaoqiang into the store and scanned the shelves, where everything from hairpins to key chains to water cups was available.

After listening to Su Xiaoqiang's popular science, Lu Mingfei realized that Hello Kitty is not just a cat, but a whole family, including a father, mother, grandparents, sister, and a boyfriend. In total, she has more family members than Lu Mingfei himself.

Su Xiaoqiang picked up a blue hairpin from the shelf nearby and handed it to Lu Mingfei, "Here, this is Hello Kitty's boyfriend Daniel. The hairpin Miaomiao often wears is Hello Kitty's. If you give her another one from Daniel, they can make a perfect pair."

Lu Mingfei took it and took a look. He didn’t see any difference from Hello Kitty, except that it had an extra fringe and the clothes had changed from pink to blue.

But since it was the little angel who strongly recommended it, Lu Mingfei just paid for it. After all, girls should understand girls better, and the little angel’s vision must be good.

I went out with the shopping bags. There was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and it seemed like "dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it."

"It looks like it's going to rain soon?" Su Xiaoqiang said, glancing at the sky.

"Seems to be."

"Okay, get out of here!" Su Xiaoqiang patted Lu Mingfei on the back, "It's almost five o'clock. Go back and tidy up your messy hair, and then you can go to Miaomiao's house. Remember to dress decently."

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then asked, “How about I take you to the main road first, and then you can take a taxi. In case it rains later…”

"Why are you so slow, like a woman?" Su Xiaoqiang frowned, and his eyes showed "You are so annoying."

In fact, if time permitted, Lu Mingfei actually wanted to send Su Xiaoqiang home and then go to Liu Miaomiao's home. However, it would take a lot of time just to get from here to Liu Miaomiao's home, and he would definitely not have enough time to go back and forth.

"Then you have to promise me that you will go home directly and not go to Portugal by yourself."

"Okay, okay, I promise you. If you don't leave now, you'll really be late."

Since things had come to this, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to say goodbye to Su Xiaoqiang in front of the store, and the two of them went one to the left and the other to the right.

Su Xiaoqiang walked a few steps with the suitcase in his hand, then quietly turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei's back. He sighed secretly only after he saw Lu Mingfei's figure disappear from a corner.

How could you not go to Portugal?

That was her most beloved mother, who loved her the most.

One thing many people don’t know is that she was a very tearful girl when she was a child, even more tearful than Liu Miaomiao or Chen Wenwen.

Father's love is like a mountain, mother's love is like water. When I was a child, I would run to my mother's arms and cry if I felt a little wronged. My mother would touch the back of her head and comfort her with a gentle voice. When she was tired of crying, she would fall asleep.

Later, when she grew up a little, she didn't cry so easily anymore, but she was still used to falling asleep in her mother's arms.

She became as strong as she is now only after her mother passed away, because she knew that there would never be another embrace to cry in. So after her mother passed away, she never cried again.

However, ever since that day, she has been feeling so uncomfortable... She could no longer hold it in, and wanted to pour out all her grievances in front of her mother, just like she did when she was a child.

My face was wet, and then my arms and legs. It turned out that it had been raining for some time.

The rain fell at such a good chance that it just covered up the water marks on her face.

Su Xiaoqiang was carrying a suitcase and walking slowly in the rain. The rain seemed to be a reflection of his mood at the moment.

Damn, who would be willing to take you here to buy gifts!
What's your business? Why are you looking for me?

If someone says they don’t want you to send them off, will you really not send them off?
Why...can't you like me?

Su Xiaoqiang lowered her head, her wet bangs stuck tightly to her face, raindrops dripped down her bangs and flowed across her pretty face.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang felt that most of the white noise around his ears disappeared, and at the same time, the cold touch on his head suddenly disappeared. Su Xiaoqiang looked up in a daze, but saw a black umbrella covering his head.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned. The moment he turned around, he saw that face that couldn't be more familiar.
