Chapter 24 Departure
Everything went smoothly for the next few days, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the graduation trip.

The meeting place was arranged at the school gate. The school chartered a bus that went directly to the airport. Students gathered at the school gate, took the bus to the airport, and then took a flight from the airport to the capital.

Since the flight was at 90 o'clock and the check-in time was another minutes, time was tight, so Lu Mingfei got up early for a rare occasion.

The aunt stuffed the shopping list for Lu Mingfei into the inner layer of Lu Mingfei's backpack. The list was densely packed with items of both large and small quantities, even Erba sauce was listed, making Lu Mingfei wonder for a moment whether he was going on a trip or to purchase goods.

"We have Erba sauce for sale right now, there's no need for Mingfei to carry it all the way back, right?" The uncle spoke up for Lu Mingfei.

The aunt was furious: "What do you know? How can the Erba sauce in the capital be the same as the Erba sauce here? The Erba sauce in the capital is so authentic that even the mineral water in the capital makes people feel dizzy after drinking it..."

It was as if she was really drinking and comparing the mineral water from the capital and the local area at the same time.

Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart and wanted to tell his aunt that flying is different from taking a train, as large amounts of luggage have to be checked in.

But then I thought, there's no need to offend my aunt. If it really doesn't work, I can just send it back by express from the capital.

It was almost eight o'clock when we arrived at the school gate. Most people had gathered and the students were standing in groups according to their previous groups.

It didn't take Lu Mingfei too much time to find Liu Miaomiao standing in the crowd.

Liu Miaomiao's outfit today is very Korean, with a white short coat over a fabric jacket, a split blue denim skirt, a cute baseball cap, and an LV chain bag across her body. She is chatting with her female classmates.

Lu Mingfei was about to walk towards Liu Miaomiao and the others when Liu Miaomiao suddenly turned around, and their eyes briefly crossed in the air.

The next moment, Liu Miaomiao turned her back to him and squeezed closer to her female classmate.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and probably knew why Liu Miaomiao reacted this way.

On the night after taking graduation photos, he went to the Shilan Middle School forum to take a look to see what Chu Zihang meant by rejecting Liu Miaomiao.

It turned out that the rumor was far more outrageous than I had imagined.

Not only was he included in the list of those to be killed, but he was also passed down by word of mouth as the man Liu Miaomiao loved but could not have. He became her paradise to which she could not return, her nightmare that she could not escape, and the promise of holding her hand that she could never obtain in her lifetime. It was simply outrageous. Its mother opened the door to outrageousness. It was outrageous to the extreme.

I guess Liu Miaomiao saw or heard the rumors on the forum and deliberately avoided me to avoid suspicion.

“When I’m in the imperial capital, I’ll try to find a reason to leave the group and wander around in a corner by myself.” Lu Mingfei sighed and thought.

Judging from the outrageous rumors about him and Liu Miaomiao before, he is indeed no longer suitable to work with Liu Miaomiao and her team.

Lu Mingfei walked slowly towards Liu Miaomiao's group.

At this time, a girl next to Liu Miaomiao also saw him, and suddenly smiled slyly, waved and greeted Lu Mingfei loudly:
"Hey, Lu Mingfei, our group is here."

When she shouted, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Mingfei at this moment, and then tacitly moved to Liu Miaomiao.

The boys mostly had gnashing teeth on their faces, while the girls had a look of anticipation on their faces as if they were looking forward to eating some sweets.

"Yiran, what are you doing?" Liu Miaomiao hid behind the girl, red-faced and punched her angrily.

The girl’s name is Qiao Yiran, whom Lu Mingfei knows. She is one of Liu Miaomiao’s best friends and is also a hot topic in the junior high school department of Shilan Middle School.

Not only does she have a sweet and lovely appearance and a tall and graceful figure, but she is also the ace of the tennis team of Shilan Middle School. At a young age, she has won many city and provincial championships. It is said that she plans to pursue a professional career in the future.

If she could stay in Shilan Middle School to study in high school, then the title of the three school beauties of Shilan Middle School might be changed to the four school beauties.

It’s a pity that although Shilan Middle School tried its best to retain her, Qiao Yiran still resolutely applied to Xunli Middle School, another key high school in the north of the city, shattering the dreams of countless male students at Shilan Middle School.

Someone you used to see every day, you may never see him or her again from now on. Everyone disappears in the vast crowd. This is what graduation means.

"I didn't do anything. Lu Mingfei is in our group, I asked him to come over." Qiao Yiran hugged Liu Miaomiao's arm and blinked innocently.

"Just scream if you want to... why are you screaming so loudly?"

"I'm just afraid that he can't hear me." Qiao Yiran chuckled, "Why, you don't welcome me over?"

"It's not..."

"Miaomiao, if you don't welcome Lu Mingfei, I will tell him not to come over." Qiao Yiran said, and before Liu Miaomiao could speak, she waved her hand back at Lu Mingfei, "Go away, Miaomiao doesn't allow you to come over, so just stay there."

"How could I ask him not to come over?"

"So you want him to come over?"

"I, I..." Liu Miaomiao's ears were burning. She didn't know how to answer Qiao Yiran's words, so she simply shook off her arms, turned around and got angry.

"Humph, you just love to bully others!"

"No, no, I just..." Qiao Yiran held Liu Miaomiao's hand and shook it to coax her, while winking at Lu Mingfei, motioning him to come over.

What a scary woman...

Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely.

Before, I had only heard that Qiao Yiran was very good at playing tennis and knew that she was one of Liu Miaomiao's close friends, but I had never had any dealings with her.

When I saw her today, I found that she could completely control the little piano princess of Shilan Middle School. It was just like Wu Song fighting the tiger, Nuo Nuo conquering Su Si, and the dragon girl seducing her senior brother.

Lu Mingfei knew that this kind of behavior was just a kind of instigation in middle school. Once there was some ambiguous rumor between a boy and a girl, the boys and girls in the class would spontaneously make actions that resembled "assisting".

But this doesn't necessarily mean that they really approve of you. It's more like a kind of booing.
In the words of Lu Mingfei’s hometown, this behavior is called “da oh hou”.

Before Lu Mingfei could decide whether he should go or not, the team leader, the head teacher, picked up the loud speaker and asked everyone to line up in groups and take roll call.

Damn it, teacher, please don’t do that too.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and slowly moved towards Liu Miaomiao. He very tactfully stood at the end of the line, three people away from Liu Miaomiao, about 3 meters away.

Estimated distance between two people...

In fact, you don’t need to count them specifically. After a class of 25 people is divided into 5 groups, you can see at a glance whether everyone is present.

After confirming the number of people, everyone got on the bus while chatting.

The conversation between Qiao Yiran and Liu Miaomiao could be heard faintly from the front.

"Miaomiao, don't you have any luggage?"

"My family has already checked in my luggage in advance."

……

Lu Mingfei lamented that the daughters of capitalists have a free life and don’t even have to carry their own luggage, unlike himself, who has to bring Erba sauce for his aunt every time he goes to the capital.

There were not many people in the class, so there were quite a few empty seats on the bus.

Lu Mingfei didn't wait for arrangements and sat directly in the last row of the bus by the window.

"Lu Mingfei, what are you doing over there?" Qiao Yiran asked

"I want to sit by the window." Lu Mingfei replied.

"There are window seats in the front, too."

"No, no, I'm used to sitting in the last row."

After saying this, he put on his hat and pretended to sleep.

Qiao Yiran was furious, looking at Lu Mingfei with a look of disappointment. She thought that she didn't even want to help him, and couldn't understand why her beautiful, rich and pretty friend Liu Miaomiao liked this kind of boy.
