Chapter 216 The Most Irresponsible Director of the College

Lu Mingfei originally thought that these bright red Western European style clothes would not be suitable for him, but after putting them on and looking at himself in a full-length mirror, he found that they surprisingly fit him well.

Of course, no matter how open the European culture is, Lu Mingfei would not change his clothes in public. He just put a short-sleeved shirt over his long-sleeved shirt and took a rough look in the mirror.

However, the reason why these selected pieces look good on Lu Mingfei is mainly because the little goddess has a very strict vision. Every time Lu Mingfei changes into a set, he has to accept the little goddess's eyes like a quality inspector to examine him back and forth, and then she will wave her hand and let Lu Mingfei change into the next set.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like a Barbie doll playing dress-up with the little goddess, being told to dress up and take off clothes at will. But this was not the first time he had been directed by the little goddess in this way.

When he accompanied the little angel to a social dance and went to the CBD center to buy suits, he and the little angel tried almost all the suits in the entire Ocean Classic Mall, just like today.

After buying clothes and talking to the old lady at the stall for a few more words, Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei returned the same way.

Su Xiaoqiang took out his cell phone and checked the time, only to find that it was almost five o'clock.

She and Lu Mingfei left the house at around 1:00 p.m. They didn't do much. They just strolled around the garden together, visited a few churches, bought a few small gifts at the gift shop, and then took Lu Mingfei to the market to buy some clothes. Time passed by quietly and quickly.

However, after counting them up, it seemed that Lu Mingfei and I had done quite a lot...

I didn’t realize it when I was doing these things, but when I came to my senses afterwards, I found that every little bit accumulated was actually a lot, and it felt like the happy time seemed to pass by especially quickly.

"Shall we just go back?"

Su Xiaoqiang put away his phone, looked at Lu Mingfei beside him and asked.

Seeing Lu Mingfei carrying a bunch of things in his hands, Su Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hands towards Lu Mingfei.

"Here, let me get half for you?" Su Xiaoqiang said.

When Lu Mingfei heard this, he was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect that this young lady could be so considerate.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's gaze towards her, Su Xiaoqiang blushed and quickly explained:
"You, don't get me wrong! I'm not worried that you'll get tired or something!"

The little goddess looked away slightly and said angrily, "I'm just worried that you'll be carrying so many things by yourself. If you accidentally lose your balance, the gifts I gave to Miaomiao and the others will be broken. Then you'll have to buy new ones, so I'm helping you share some of the burden."

But the tsundere aspect hasn't changed at all.

Although the little goddess asked Lu Mingfei to give her half, this amount of weight was nothing to Lu Mingfei now.

After thinking about it, Lu Mingfei handed a few bags of lighter things to the little girl. This way, he satisfied her desire to help him share the burden without tiring her.

The little angel saw that Lu Mingfei only handed her the bag of clothes and she had to carry the heavy things herself. She immediately understood what he was thinking, pursed her pink lips lightly, and said nothing.

"Are we going back now?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Unconsciously, the roles of the two people have been reversed. Originally, Su Xiaoqiang was Lu Mingfei's tour guide taking him to visit local attractions, but now it is Lu Mingfei accompanying Su Xiaoqiang shopping.

Lu Mingfei was used to this situation.

In his previous life, every time he went out on a mission, he agreed that he would only be a lackey or an extra for his paralyzed senior brother Caesar and the others. They were the main force and he was just there to get the internship credits. But in the end, he had to carry the seven deadly sins and fight the dragon kings.

Compared to fighting with the Dragon King, it seems more relaxing and pleasant to go shopping with a beautiful woman.

"I don't have anywhere I want to go, and you...we are carrying so many things." Su Xiaoqiang shook his head and said.

"Then wait for me for a moment." Lu Mingfei said.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned. Before he realized what Lu Mingfei was going to do, he saw him running to the stall not far away where people were shooting balloons with toy guns. Then he dropped everything in his hands at his feet and picked up a gun.

"Boss, how much does it cost to play this once?" Lu Mingfei asked in English.

"One euro buys ten bullets, one bullet counts as one point, and the points can be exchanged for prizes." The stall owner also answered in English.

In 2006, the exchange rate of the Euro to the RMB was still around 1:10. One euro was equivalent to ten bullets, which is equivalent to one yuan per bullet. This price is certainly not cheap.

But after seeing that the 101 Dalmatians doll only cost 20 points, Lu Mingfei felt that it was acceptable. 20 yuan would definitely not buy such a big doll in China - of course, this was based on the assumption that he could hit all 20 shots.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, took out four euros and handed them to the boss: "Buy forty bullets."

"Do you want to play this?" Su Xiaoqiang also walked over and asked Lu Mingfei.

"Let's play a little." Lu Mingfei narrowed one eye, raised the gun in front of his eyes and tried to find the aim, "I haven't played for a long time."

This kind of shooting game is really a long time since Lu Mingfei has played it. In his previous life, he was a poor guy who was not good at many things. Apart from StarCraft, shooting was one of his few talents.

Many people only know that he shot 100 rings with ten shots during military training in high school, but they don’t know that as early as in elementary school, when he was playing this balloon-shooting game at a stall near his aunt’s house, he had already taught a lesson to all the stall owners around him, so much so that later on, the owners would quickly close their stalls as soon as they saw him coming.

"Tsk, can you hit it?" Su Xiaoqiang curled his lips.

Although she said so, Su Xiaoqiang just wanted to be proud. Although she did not participate in the second half of the military training due to physical reasons, she had heard of Lu Mingfei's glorious record of hitting 100 rings with 10 shots.

"How about making a bet?" Lu Mingfei said jokingly.

Su Xiaoqiang originally wanted to say "Let's bet on who's afraid of who", but he immediately remembered that the last bet between him and this guy seemed to have not been fulfilled yet, not to mention that shooting was this guy's strong point.

So the little angel, who had always been arrogant and looked down on everyone, once again timidly backed down.

"Bah, I don't want to bet with you!"

Of course, Lu Mingfei never thought about really betting with Su Xiaoqiang. Seeing the little angel admitting defeat in front of him, he just smiled, said nothing more, and held the gun in front of him.

With a "pop", a balloon on the wall five meters away exploded. Before Su Xiaoqiang could react, he saw the balloons next to him explode one after another. In a blink of an eye, most of the balloons on the wall were blasted by Lu Mingfei, and all this took less than a minute.

Although Su Xiaoqiang was mentally prepared for Lu Mingfei's shooting skills, he was still shocked when he actually saw it... Of course, the one who was even more shocked was the stall owner.

Of course he knew what kind of stuff these toy guns of his were. The barrels had basically been tampered with, and there was a big error between the crosshairs and the actual gun line.

However, in this situation, this boy was able to hit every target. If Lu Mingfei hadn't stopped in time, he would have almost thought that Lu Mingfei was hired by his competitor to mess things up.

Su Xiaoqiang stood aside, waiting obediently for Lu Mingfei to enter the stall and exchange the gifts with the boss. When he saw Lu Mingfei coming out from behind, Su Xiaoqiang just went to meet him, and suddenly something was stuffed into his arms.

Su Xiaoqiang looked down and was stunned. It was actually the 101 Dalmatians doll.

I just looked at him a few more times out of intention, and this guy noticed me?

"Is this...a gift for me?" Su Xiaoqiang asked cautiously.

"What else? Weren't you just staring at this doll?" Lu Mingfei nodded. "The boss said that 20 points can be exchanged for one. I have 40 points. I exchanged one for you and Miaomiao. Just as a return gift for being my tour guide."

As she spoke, she held up a Hello Kitty doll behind her and said, "Give this to Miaomiao when the time comes."

Su Xiaoqiang snorted lightly: "You don't mind the trouble."

but……

Su Xiaoqiang held the doll's hand tightly.

It is precisely because of this kind of gentleness that does not mind the trouble and does not show it that Miaomiao likes him, right?
And, myself too.

……

When the two returned to the manor, the Cassel Academy group had also returned. Ye Sheng Yaji and the others didn't see anyone, only Professor Mans, holding a cigar, leaning against the door of the Bentley, chatting with Louis.

Seeing the two people coming back, Louis greeted Lu Mingfei from a distance, and Lu Mingfei quickly bowed his head in return.

After watching the two of them enter the villa, Professor Mans retracted his gaze, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked calmly, "She is Gloria's daughter, right?"

"Yes." Louis said. "Well, her eyes are just like hers, as proud and determined as hers, just like the rose that kills all flowers, gorgeous but with thorns. Time flies so fast, I still remember that I held her in my arms when she was a baby, and now she has grown up so much."

As he spoke, Mance threw the remaining cigar on the ground and extinguished it. At his feet, there were cigars that had been smoked to pieces. It was unknown how long he and Louis had been chatting here and how many cigarettes they had smoked.

"What's her Chinese name?"

"Su Xiaoqiang." Louis said, "But it's not the Qiang of rose, it's the Qiang with the wood radical."

"Su Xiaoqiang, Su... Humph! The name Rosella is still easier to pronounce." Mans snorted from his nose.

Louis chuckled, "It's been so many years, you still haven't let it go?"

"This is not a question of letting go or not. You don't understand, Louis."

Mance shook his head and said.

"Gronya was the most charismatic student in our class. During the Day of Freedom, she led our Lionheart Society to kill people everywhere. With her long hair flying and holding a sniper rifle, she looked like a heroic Valkyrie. At that time, in our hearts, she was like the sun. However, such a dazzling sun finally left the world of half-bloods and became an ordinary housewife. How can we who looked up to her accept this?"

"Of course I understand. I understand you very well, Mance. You know, the Night Watch also said that Gronia is the most talented alchemist among the younger generation of the Valentine family." Louis said.

Mance sighed and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this - if I remember correctly, Rosella should be in the third year of junior high school or the first year of high school now, right? She will graduate from high school in two or three years?"

"Don't think about hitting on her." Louis turned his head and looked calmly at Mance beside him, saying word by word: "Don't forget, the academy had an agreement with Gronia. You can't contact her."

"Don't worry, of course I remember that, I just asked casually. Look at you, you're still as nervous as you were back then."

Mance met Louis's gaze, suddenly smiled, spread his hands and said:

"Don't forget that I was the one who facilitated the negotiations to prevent Gronia's daughter from getting involved in the world of mixed-bloods."

"Just remember it." Louis said, "You should have told your students not to mention anything about the dragon clan in front of Rosella."

"I've already said it. If you hadn't insisted on having a family dinner, I wouldn't have let my students meet Rosella." Mance took out a cigar box from his pocket and took out a new cigar. "So, who is the guy next to Rosella? Is he her boyfriend?"

"Who knows? Maybe." Louis shrugged with a smile.

Mance shook his head: "You are a really incompetent uncle."

"If you are interested in him, maybe you will have a chance to get to know him in the future."

Mance frowned: "What does this mean?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it." Louis said, "Let's talk about business. What are the results of your investigation today?"

Seeing that Louis wanted to change the subject, Mance didn't say anything more. He and Louis had known each other for many years, and he knew that this man would not say anything he didn't want to say, no matter how much you asked him.

He lit up the brand new cigar in his mouth, took a puff and said, "All in all, it went pretty smoothly. We got what we wanted from the four selected targets."

"Any questions?" Louis asked.

"Of course there are doubts," Mans said, "but compared to doubts, there are other areas that deserve our attention."

"Like what?" Louis asked.

"For example, it seems that we are not the only ones watching the 'antimony' matter. There are other forces involved as well."

"It seems like you have some unexpected gains?"

"It's not really an unexpected gain. It's just that one of my students encountered an emergency while performing a mission, and then a stranger suddenly appeared and helped her resolve the crisis," said Mans.

"Stranger?" Louis asked. "Is he also a mixed-blood?"

"I'm not sure, but at least for now, they don't seem to be hostile to us." Mance said, "So I wanted to ask you if you have any clues about this matter. After all, this area of ​​Western Europe is considered the territory of your Valentine family."

"What clues do I have?" Louis said in a nonchalant tone. "You know, I don't really care about mixed-bloods anymore. Brewing wine and riding a bike every day is my life. By the way, I won the Tour of Portugal last month. Do you want to see my medal?"

"You should be considered one of the most irresponsible directors in the history of Kassel College, right? The little girl from the Gottingen family has attended more meetings than you." Mans smiled softly, "But to be honest, sometimes I really envy your life. After holding a gun for so long, sometimes I want to hold a fishing rod or something."

"I can't help it. I wasn't the original heir of the Valentine family. My cheap brother died early, and my sister married to China for love. It was only by chance that I was helped to become the head of the Valentine family."

Louis sighed helplessly, "Do you think my retirement life is leisurely? Every day when I open my eyes, I have to feed tens of thousands of mouths and process hundreds of documents every day. I am even considering whether I should donate all the Valentine family's assets to the college."

“Why don’t you donate then?”

Louis spread his hands: "Although I am the head of the Valentine family, it does not mean that I can have the final say. Just like the principal of Kassel College is Angers, but can Angers make all the decisions about Kassel College? Every time there is a slightly more important decision, don't we have to hold a board meeting?"

"makes sense."

Mance nodded, flicked the last cigar onto the ground, and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.

……

After dinner, Lu Mingfei returned to his room.

Although yesterday's family dinner was specially prepared to welcome Lu Mingfei and his family, today's dinner was just as rich as yesterday's, but the atmosphere was a little less lively than yesterday.

Maybe it was because it was the first day and everyone had met and known each other, so there was less politeness. It was also possible that Aki and the others were too tired from the mission, so they were not so enthusiastic about participating in the topic.

Because she was sitting right opposite Lu Mingfei, the fatigue on Aki's face was very obvious to Lu Mingfei.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know what Aji and the others had done specifically, he knew that they went to Lisbon today.

Although Ye Sheng and Yaji were considered excellent students even in the talented Kassel Academy, Lu Mingfei estimated that this mission might not be so easy for these freshmen and sophomores, as he saw their tired state. Only Professor Mans looked normal.

After dinner, Lu Mingfei followed Aki and the others upstairs. Their guest room was on the left side of the villa, while Lu Mingfei's was on the right side.

After returning to the room, Lu Mingfei took a shower and fell on his bed.

Although he did not carry out any mission like Aki and the others, the tiring feeling of accompanying girls shopping made him feel no easier than when he was carrying out the mission.

Lu Mingfei yawned, and just wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, but he fell asleep and passed out. He didn't know how long he slept before he woke up. He turned on his phone and it showed that it was 12:05 noon, which was of course Beijing time.

After experiencing a lot of things in Portugal, he actually kept forgetting to adjust the time zone of his mobile phone to Lisbon time.

However, after seeing the time, Lu Mingfei had an idea.

It is now 12:05 noon in China, so the little girl should have finished class. Should I give her a call?
After all, it was their first relationship, and after only a few days of separation, Lu Mingfei already missed the lovely girl who always stuck to him.

But he thought about it and felt that Liu Miaomiao might be eating now, so he decided to endure for a few more minutes and call her after she finished her meal.

However, just as he was about to put away his phone, the QQ message notification sound started to beep.

Lu Mingfei was stunned and immediately opened his mobile QQ. On the first page of QQ, the avatar of Xiao Ke from Cardcaptor Sakura was flashing at the top.

Xi Yuhuai: Mingfei, are you here now?

When Lu Mingfei saw the QQ message, he immediately walked to the window, opened it, and called Liu Miaomiao under the moonlight.

She answered almost immediately.
