Chapter 223 The woman's current phone call

In the eyes of the vast majority of mixed-bloods, Kassel Academy is not short of geniuses.

Just like Principal Ange, he has many titles: the first generation member of the Lionheart Society, the great leader of Kassel Academy, the only survivor of the "Summer Mourning" incident, one of the most powerful half-bloods in existence, and a legendary existence even in the eyes of half-bloods all over the world.

There is also the mysterious vice-principal, Night Watchman, the legendary alchemist, one of the few hybrids in the world who can be rated as S-level at the same time as the principal. The Word Spirit and Discipline have a strong restraining power on the hybrids.

The above two are both representative figures among the geniuses of Kassel Academy. Of course, S-level student Lu Mingfei has also been evaluated as a genius by his mentor, Guderian, the first one, and the principal, Angers, the second one.

But only insiders of Kassel College know that the people in the Equipment Department are the most popular "geniuses" of Kassel College.

Genius on the left, madman on the right.

In Lu Mingfei's impression, the people in the Equipment Department were a bunch of crazy scientists who were committed to integrating various alchemical achievements with modern weapons. They did things as crazy as they could and never considered the consequences. They once developed a tactical missile equipped with an alchemical warhead and conducted a weapon experiment in the Sahara Desert, but it was misjudged as a nuclear explosion by the Pentagon's spy satellite "Tungusta".

In the few times he met Charlotte, Lu Mingfei judged her as calm, composed, mature beyond her age, and of course, road-shy and socially anxious. The above personality was completely different from the bomb maniac in the equipment department that Lu Mingfei had in mind.

Although Lu Mingfei did not see the madness of those bombers in Charlotte, he did not doubt what Lu Mingze said. Although the little devil was not clear, the information he gave was never wrong.

Lu Mingze always tried to trick Lu Mingfei into jumping into the fire pit. He never expected that Lu Mingze showed up this time to remind him to be safe. Lu Mingfei was surprised and even moved. He nodded and said, "I know. I will be safe."

Lu Mingze shook his head. “I’m not asking you to be careful, brother. I just want to remind you to protect your sisters-in-law. You’re thick-skinned, so it doesn’t matter if you get hurt. Your sisters-in-law are all fair-skinned, beautiful, and tender.”

"?"

Even without Lu Mingze's reminder, Lu Mingfei would protect the little goddess, after all, he came to Portugal for this reason. But seeing that Lu Mingze didn't show the slightest concern for him, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that his feelings were in vain.

No! Why did I just accept Lu Mingze calling the little goddess sister-in-law?
Wait, there seems to be something even more wrong.

"What the hell are you talking about 'sisters-in-law'?" Lu Mingfei noticed something wrong with Lu Mingze's wording and asked angrily.

"Hey, did I say 'sisters-in-law'? Did you hear me wrong, brother?"

"Yes." Lu Mingfei was very sure.

"That was just a slip of the tongue, don't take it too seriously, brother." Lu Mingze shrugged. "By the way, do you need my help in picking up girls?"

"Don't try to change the subject."

"Brother, do you still remember what Nuonuo told you about chasing girls?" Lu Mingze ignored Lu Mingfei and continued to talk to himself: "Music, flowers and beautiful confession words."

When Lu Mingze suddenly mentioned a long-forgotten name, Lu Mingfei was subconsciously stunned. This feeling was very strange, just like a long-lost photo in the corner of memory was found and picked up again, and the dust on the frame was wiped clean.

Before Lu Mingfei could get rid of this strange feeling, he saw Lu Mingze smiling strangely in front of him.

"Brother, your expression has changed." Lu Mingze said.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that this guy's mouth was so mean that it couldn't be said any more. He almost couldn't help but want to give him a knife on the head. However, he thought that this guy was always good at the art of changing the world. If he really reached out his hand to him, he was afraid that the next thing he would reach out to was the face of the little goddess.

"What is it to you?" Lu Mingfei calmed down.

"As a younger brother, I can't control my older brother. I can only help you pick up girls."

Lu Mingze said, "Brother, do you still remember the secret book? 'Show me the flowers', a magic spell that can give beautiful flowers to girls, just like Cinderella's spell in the fairy tale. But it can't be used now. Today is November 11th in Portugal, and we have to wait until November 9th, which is tomorrow, to unlock this magic."

Of course Lu Mingfei remembered this secret book. He had used it to send Nuonuo a brilliant fireworks display on his birthday. Unexpectedly, the little devil went around in circles and finally the topic came back to picking up girls. It was probably his intention from the beginning, and he was just talking about this and that to divert Lu Mingfei's attention.

“Can’t you give me some other useful tips?” Lu Mingfei said, “Like show me the money or something like that. Just transfer 100 million US dollars to my MasterCard. After I have the money, I can buy flowers myself.”

"Brother, you are really greedy." Lu Mingze gave a rare bitter smile, "I have let you get so many secret books from me for free, but you still don't appreciate it and think the benefit is not big enough. You haven't taken care of my business for a long time. How about we exchange? If you give me a quarter of your life, I can not only transfer 100 million US dollars to your card, but also give you a harem to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life and live a luxurious life of wine and women."

"Get out." Lu Mingfei had no intention of taking Lu Mingze's words to heart.

"What a pity." Lu Mingze shook his head, "I'm telling the truth."

"Then I'll just take it as true." Lu Mingfei said with a pout.

"When...really what?"

Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite Lu Mingfei, was stunned for a moment, then a blush crept up her cheeks, and she blinked and asked.

Although Lu Mingfei had learned from Lu Mingze's plot and was alert in advance, he still couldn't prevent Lu Mingze's change of fate. In the blink of an eye, the person opposite him turned back into the little goddess. The little goddess blinked, obviously because Lu Mingfei's sudden words just now attracted her attention.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had not done anything rash before, like when he invited Chen Wenwen to dinner at Aspasia restaurant. Although the timing when Lu Mingze released the time stop was quite insidious, Lu Mingfei was still able to make up for it.

“I mean... eating! It’s not easy to come to Portugal, so of course I have to taste Portuguese food carefully!” Lu Mingfei tried to make excuses, although he also felt that his excuses were a bit far-fetched.

"Oh……"

Su Xiaoqiang lowered his head and used his hands to push down the hair that had been pushed behind his ears to cover his slightly flushed face.

She was startled by what Lu Mingfei suddenly blurted out.

At that time, she was thinking about Father Bernardo’s previous misunderstanding, and thought, “If only what they said was true,” and then Lu Mingfei said, “Then just take it as true.”

This sentence almost scared her heart out of her chest. Her head was buzzing with thoughts about what Lu Mingfei said. She almost thought that she had accidentally said what was in her heart. Finally, after overcoming her nervousness and mustering up the courage, she asked Lu Mingfei what he was serious about.

Although Lu Mingfei's subsequent words to make amends... Su Xiaoqiang felt that they seemed a little awkward, but she was also distracted at the moment and had no time to find fault with Lu Mingfei's words.

Lu Mingfei was also stunned when he saw the little angel's pretty face suddenly blushing, and was confused for a moment.

What? They didn't seem to order any wine. Is there any alcohol in Portuguese food?

show me the flowers……

Lu Mingfei silently recited the spell given to him by Lu Mingze in his heart, and he had no idea in what context he would recite this spell.

The current scene seems to be quite suitable, but Lu Mingze said that this spell can only be unlocked on November 11. And even if it can be used now, he probably won't suddenly conjure up a bouquet of flowers for the little goddess.

No idea why the man and woman suddenly stopped talking during the dinner. Lu Mingfei thought it was because Lu Mingze suddenly came out and interrupted the conversation. Of course, he didn't know that he had accidentally disturbed Su Xiaoqiang's mind.

In fact, this is often the case. When facing someone you have a good relationship with but you are not attracted to, you can talk to each other freely and intimately, and it doesn't matter whether you say good things or bad things. But once the person in front of you is someone you like, every word you say is like walking on thin ice, for fear of saying something wrong and making the other person feel bored.

Even people like Lu Mingfei and Xiao Tiannv, who always speak freely, would instantly become reserved when faced with such a situation. …

Fortunately, the meal didn't take too much time in the end. When it came time to pay the bill, Lu Mingfei still kept Louis's teachings in mind and took the initiative to pay the bill.

After going out and leaving the closed and cramped atmosphere of the restaurant, the tense atmosphere seemed to relax a lot.

"Should we go back directly or continue to wander around Santarem?" Lu Mingfei tried hard to find a topic.

"Um……"

Su Xiaoqiang lowered her head in hesitation. It is said that girls’ personalities will change drastically after falling into the swamp of love. Lu Mingfei did not expect that the little angel would directly become the kind of personality of Liu Miaomiao or Chen Wenwen. It was not until a long time later that the little angel bit her lip, raised her head, and looked at Lu Mingfei from bottom to top, "I still want to stroll here."

After a pause, the little goddess continued to ask: "Is it okay?"

Now that we have come to this point, why can't we do it? When Lu Mingfei was coaxed out by Louis today, he had already made up his mind to accompany the little girl to go shopping for a day. He knew the little girl's feelings and his inner thoughts. He couldn't give the little girl anything, and accompanying her more was one of the few things he could do.

Just as Lu Mingfei nodded and said yes and asked the little goddess where she wanted to go, Su Xiaoqiang immediately stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Mingfei turned his head: "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, put his hands on his hips, and pointed at Lu Mingfei's pocket: "Don't you have to report to Miaomiao this afternoon? It's 2:3 pm Portugal time now. China is eight hours ahead of Portugal. It's already past 9 pm in China. Miaomiao should almost go to bed."

In fact, Lu Mingfei was thinking about this matter just now. He talked to the little girl on the phone in the morning and promised her that he would call her twice a day to report, once at noon or in the afternoon and once before going to bed.

Shilan Middle School is an aristocratic school, and it is not very competitive these days. The bad habit of studying late at night has not yet become popular. Lu Mingfei knew that the little girl went to bed very early, usually a little after nine o'clock, and she would call him before going to bed. He has been paying attention to this matter.

But how did the little angel know?

Could it be that when I was talking on the phone with the little girl in the room this morning...she heard me?
Damn...it seems like the sound insulation in old buildings is really not that good.

While Lu Mingfei was in a daze, the ding-ling-ling cell phone suddenly rang in Lu Mingfei's trouser pocket. The little goddess stared at Lu Mingfei and signaled him to answer the phone with her eyes. The name on the caller ID was of course Liu Miaomiao, without any surprise.

Under Su Xiaoqiang's scorching gaze, Lu Mingfei pressed the answer button.

"Ming Fei." A sweet female voice like a silver bell came from the microphone, "Good evening... No, it's still afternoon, so it should be good afternoon."

Hearing his girlfriend's voice, Lu Mingfei felt warm in his heart...at the same time, he also felt the calm gaze of the little goddess next to him.

Damn...this feeling is so fucking awesome...!
Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely, with a thousand horses galloping in his heart.

Obviously Lu Mingfei had done nothing wrong, but this feeling of immorality was just like a cheating husband answering a call from his wife asking for room check-up under the gaze of his lover.

"Miaomiao, good evening to you too."

He restrained his peripheral vision, tried to calm himself, and responded as normally as possible.

"Hey, Mingfei, why do you sound a little breathless?"

"Ah, I was just shopping and I'm a little tired from walking."

"Oh..." Liu Miaomiao on the other end of the phone responded softly, as if she believed what Lu Mingfei said.

In fact, he was not panting, but Lu Mingfei's tongue was a little stiff.

"That Ming Fei..." Liu Miaomiao suddenly said, "I miss you... Do you miss me?"

"I miss you. Of course I miss you." This is the truth, but Lu Mingfei always feels that he said it a little perfunctorily.

How should I put it? Lu Mingfei didn't mind talking to Liu Miaomiao about sweet words that only lovers can say on the busy Portuguese streets. After all, there were white people around him, and Chinese sounded like an encrypted conversation in their ears.

But the most important thing is that the little angel is still by my side...!
Although the little goddess had consciously stepped back several steps after he answered the phone and was just waiting for him from a distance, when Lu Mingfei thought about himself saying sweet words to Liu Miaomiao in front of the little goddess, he felt like rolling on the ground as if his dark history of middle school syndrome had been discovered and publicly punished.

Besides, it was still 2006, when there were not so many abstract, reserved or euphemistic words to express love, and earthy love words were popular. And Liu Miaomiao liked to confess her feelings to Lu Mingfei directly.

Fortunately, this little angel is not the arrogant and arrogant little angel who likes to confront him, but the little angel who has fallen in love. If it was the Su Xiaoqiang from before, he would definitely tease Lu Mingfei with this matter every day.

However, there were not many such love words. After all, Liu Miaomiao's personality was relatively reserved. After saying a few simple words to express her longing, she changed the subject and shared some daily events at school.

This kind of conversation fell into Lu Mingfei's comfort zone. He thought that when he was in school, he would often act as a listener, listening to Liu Miaomiao sharing these little things with him.

Just thinking about the big thing coming up... the two of them still had to do a "mua" before the call ended, Lu Mingfei really wanted to cover his face.

However, what surprised Lu Mingfei was that after the two of them finished chatting, Liu Miaomiao did not mention the matter at all, but directly said, "her mother has urged her and she has to hang up the phone now."

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and called Liu Miaomiao before she hung up.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Liu Miaomiao's clear voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"I have something I need to report to you." Lu Mingfei glanced at the little goddess standing not far away with her hands behind her back waiting for him, and said with determination: "For some reason... I am shopping with a little goddess now."

Although he didn't know how the little girl would react to what he said, maybe she would get angry or willful, or she might have other reactions that Lu Mingfei couldn't imagine... But after thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei still felt that he had to tell her about this.

The sound from the other end of the microphone suddenly paused, as if time over there had suddenly stopped, and even Liu Miaomiao's breathing disappeared.

Just a few seconds later, time on the other end of the microphone resumed flowing. After the sound of calm breathing, Liu Miaomiao said to Lu Mingfei in a relaxed and happy voice:

"I know~"

Hearing the little girl's answer, Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned.

"you know?"

"Yeah." Liu Miaomiao's voice came over the phone, "Qiangqiang actually told me this afternoon... that is, this morning on your side."
