Chapter 242 Roses Blooming in Autumn (Strategy Chapter ing)

Hearing the sudden noise beside him, Su Xiaoqiang turned his head and saw that the boy next to him also knelt down in front of his mother's tombstone and clasped his hands together in imitation.

"This is my mother, why are you kneeling down?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei strangely.

Lu Mingfei clasped his hands together in front of him and said at a loss: "Then... I stand up again?"

"No!" Su Xiaoqiang pouted and stopped him firmly, "Don't stand!"

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei blinked in shock.

He couldn't stand or kneel, so what should he do now? Half standing, half kneeling?

Looking at Lu Mingfei's confused expression, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Forget it, forget it, just kneel like this!" Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand, with an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.

She turned her head and looked straight ahead, glancing at Lu Mingfei, observing his every move. She watched Lu Mingfei clasp his hands in front of his chest and close his eyes like she did. Then she excitedly withdrew her gaze and gently lowered her eyelids, as if tearing down the night curtain.

Mom, long time no see, but actually I just came to see you a few days ago.

Su Xiaoqiang said softly in his heart.

I came to see you today because I heard some family secrets from my uncle. Although I still don't understand some of the things my uncle said, I know that you paved a safe path for me because you were afraid that I would be hurt.

She paused, secretly opened her eyes a little and glanced at Lu Mingfei.

I know you did all this just to make my life safe and smooth. But mom, I'm sorry, I already have my own life that I want to choose.

"Por favor, deseja-me felicidade, me. (Please wish me happiness, mother.)" Su Xiaoqiang said softly.

Lu Mingfei heard Su Xiaoqiang beside him suddenly recite a sentence in Portuguese, and subconsciously thought it was a prayer or a worship word or something like that, so he imitated Su Xiaoqiang and said, "Por favor, deseja-me felicidade, me." The pronunciation was surprisingly quite standard.

When Su Xiaoqiang heard Lu Mingfei imitating his speech, especially calling his mother’s tombstone “me (mom)”, his face flushed red, and he turned around and glared at Lu Mingfei:
"Do you know what it means? Just follow it!"

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoqiang innocently: "Isn't it a prayer or something like that?"

"No, it's..." Su Xiaoqiang was about to explain the meaning of this sentence, but when he thought of Lu Mingfei's behavior just now, the shyness and embarrassment in his heart suddenly surged up. He bit his lip and waved his hand pretending to be calm: "Forget it, forget it, it's okay."

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang and saw a shy pink blush in the corners of his eyes, which made him even more curious about what he had just said.

Su Xiaoqiang stood up from the tombstone, brushed the dirt off her skirt at her knees, crossed her arms and stretched upwards. Lu Mingfei also stood up.

"It would be nice if we came in the summer." Su Xiaoqiang put his hands down in front of him and turned lightly in a circle, his eyes darting around. "If we come in the summer, this garden will be full of beautiful roses, red, white and pink."

She paused, raised her toes, and then gently lowered them. Then she took a small step to the side, crossed her legs, and moved to the side with the boy. She looked ahead and said:

"Lu Mingfei, do you know? My mother loves roses the most! She said roses are beautiful, tough and sharp flowers, and wild roses can even survive tenaciously in poor soil. She hopes that I can grow up to be a girl as tough and tenacious as roses, so she named me Su Xiaoqiang."

Lu Mingfei felt the girl suddenly approaching him, but pretended not to know and answered the little goddess: "Wait a minute, isn't the 樯 in your name the wall that can be destroyed by a falling mast?"

"That's because my mother didn't know how to write Chinese characters at that time!" Su Xiaoqiang stuck out his tongue: "In fact, she originally wanted to call me Qiang, but she made a mistake when registering her household registration, and wrote the grass radical instead of the wood radical. My Portuguese name Roseira means rose."

She smiled and shrugged: "After discovering that the wrong name was entered on the household registration book, my father actually asked my mother whether to change it, but my mother said that the word 樯 is also good, so that the Portuguese name and the Chinese name can be distinguished. Isn't it too casual?"

“A little bit.” Lu Mingfei scratched his cheek. His impression of the little angel’s mother changed from a gentle and intellectual woman to a gentle and intellectual woman who was a little naive.

"It would be nice if mom could see the roses." Su Xiaoqiang sighed, "She would definitely be very happy."

Listening to the words of the little goddess beside him, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wondered if he had forgotten something.

Did the little devil give me a secret before? Show me the flowers?

When is the ban lifted?

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang's pretty profile and the sunlight shining into her sparkling eyes. He then realized that her eyes were not pure brown. There seemed to be a little blue in the background. It was like a lake surrounded by mountains, with ripples when the sunlight shone into it.

“Show me the flowers.”

Lu Mingfei's mind moved, and he quietly recited the spell that Lu Mingze gave him.

It was as if Cinderella had come in a pumpkin carriage, bringing her magic. The moment the spell landed, without any warning, all the rose buds in the garden, some green, some closed, some drooping, raised their heads at the same time, opened their petals, and blossomed into the most colorful flowers. It was as if time had been called back to summer at this moment, to the time when the roses were at their most vigorous.

This is the flower that Lu Mingze promised. He delivered it as expected. He never lets Lu Mingfei down.

Lu Mingfei looked at the roses in the garden, the flowers were in full bloom, and he was dazzled. As the little goddess said, there were red, white, and pink ones. Maybe it was the little goddess' mother's preference, because red ones were the most common.

This magic is much more impressive than the one I gave to Nuonuo... You are amazing, Lu Mingze, Lu Mingfei said in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at the little goddess beside him. The pretty girl, who was a head shorter than him, had already covered her face in shock, revealing only her very beautiful eyes. The lake in her eyes had already become dim and could overflow at any time.

"It's so beautiful." Lu Mingfei said suddenly, as if possessed by some strange force.

“Yes, it’s really beautiful!” The little goddess nodded and suddenly smiled. She wiped the corners of her eyes hastily with the back of her hand, then looked at Lu Mingfei with watery eyes, tilted her head and blinked: “Did you do this?”

Lu Mingfei also blinked and pretended to be stupid, "Do you think this is something I can do?"

In the final analysis, this should be considered as a gift from the little devil, and he should consider it as a re-gift. More importantly, seeing the little goddess looking so moved that she was about to cry, if Lu Mingfei admitted that it was given by him, the little goddess would probably throw herself into his arms and cry.

"Who knows? There are only two of us here. Anyway, it wasn't me who did it." Su Xiaoqiang snorted and bit one of his lips. "Besides, haven't you always been like this? Secretive and weird. Not to mention that you can create so many things all of a sudden, I wouldn't be surprised if you say you can destroy the world one day."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and decided to forget about something as dangerous as destroying the world. After joining Kassel Academy and saving Eri, he would just live the rest of his life in peace.

"By the way, these flowers are so beautiful! No, I have to take pictures to record them!" Su Xiaoqiang said as he fumbled around on his body. Suddenly he paused and turned to look at Lu Mingfei: "Oh no, I left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring my phone with me."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and touched his pocket: "I don't think I brought it either."

"How annoying!" Su Xiaoqiang stomped his feet and suddenly pointed at the road. "Forget it, let's go back and get our phones... and borrow Bettina's camera as well."

"Go back?" Lu Mingfei looked at the little goddess, "Didn't we just escape? If we go back now, aren't you afraid that they will catch us and take us back for brainwashing?"

“I’m not afraid.” Su Xiaoqiang put his hands behind his back, shook his head, looked up into Lu Mingfei’s eyes, and said softly, “You will protect me.”

It was not a question sentence, nor did it have any modal particles. It was a simple statement, but it expressed her infinite trust in Lu Mingfei. It was as if it was a simple fact that Lu Mingfei would protect her.

Meeting the gentle gaze of the little angel, Lu Mingfei suddenly choked, as if something was stuck near his heart.

"Okay." Su Xiaoqiang stretched out his hands to Lu Mingfei, "Carry me back."

"Carry you back?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head and glanced at Su Xiaoqiang's feet. "Aren't you wearing shoes now?"

"Can't I carry it with my shoes on?"

"of course."

"Tsk!" Su Xiaoqiang showed disdain on her face, suddenly sneered, then lifted the hem of her skirt and kicked her feet to take off the small leather shoes on her feet.

"I am not wearing shoes now." Su Xiaoqiang smiled slyly and mischievously like a fox, "Come and carry me on your back, come and carry me on your back."

Lu Mingfei was shocked by Su Xiaoqiang's sudden action. He didn't expect that the proud little goddess could actually perform such a move. However, seeing the little goddess's smooth and tender feet stepping on the rough dirt road without reservation, he could only squat with his back to the little goddess with a helpless look on his face.

The girl's delicate body was once again entrusted to his broad back. The path leading to the road through the flower field was both short and long, and the heartbeats and breathing of the boy and girl complemented each other, like a piece of music that rose and fell. Su Xiaoqiang gently put his head on the side of Lu Mingfei's shoulder and suddenly said, "By the way, do you want to consider that bet?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

I didn't ask the little goddess what the bet was. How could there be a bet between the two of them? Isn't it just about being lovers or something...

What is this little goddess singing about? Or is this the happy ending that will appear after she successfully completes the galgame single female main line?

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to turn around, the pair of slender hands hanging on his chest immediately pressed down on his head, forcing him to look straight ahead.

"No, don't look back!"

The little angel's voice sounded a little sharp and nervous, her orchid-like breath blew on his ears, itchy and messy, like the beat of a drum out of beat, just like her and his heartbeat.

"Lu Mingfei, I like you." The little fairy behind him suddenly said again, very quickly, her voice sounded like the plucking of a musical string.

In my impression, the little goddess is always impetuous and arrogant, with pride and tsundere in her voice. When has she ever used such a sweet and soft voice to say such delicate love words? What is even more surprising is that the little goddess's voice is actually quite suitable for being coquettish, even comparable to Liu Miaomiao's.

In addition, the contrast between his usual proud appearance and the voice at this moment, and the soft and delicate feeling were even more evident in comparison, made Lu Mingfei's mind suddenly waver. Not only did his heart almost melt, but even his legs almost went weak, and he almost rolled and fell into the mud beside him.

Damn, what's going on? Did I really reveal the harem option?
Lu Mingfei's heart was pounding. Although he was actually in his twenties, he had no experience in dealing with this kind of situation.

However, the next moment, after waiting for a long time without getting any answer from the boy, Su Xiaoqiang returned to his nature and used his arms to gently strangle Lu Mingfei's neck.

"Say something to me, you damned girl! You didn't even react when a girl confessed to you!" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes were red with shame and anger, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could bite Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

"Damn it! Little angel, can you please be reasonable? How do you want me to answer you?" Lu Mingfei returned to his usual pattern of bickering with the little angel.

Do you want me to ask you to be my lover? Lu Mingfei added in his heart.

"Hmph!" Su Xiaoqiang snorted proudly, hooked her hand back in front of Lu Mingfei, and whispered in his ear: "Then I'll ask you another question. You must answer honestly!"

"What's the problem?" Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched for some reason.

"Do you... like me?" Su Xiaoqiang said for some unknown reason.

"what?"

"Tell the truth! Don't hesitate! Three, two, one..."

"Like, like it..." Lu Mingfei, whose mind was in a mess due to Su Xiaoqiang's frantic urging, subconsciously blurted out his true thoughts.

"Heh...you are such a scumbag! Having one of the four most beautiful girls in Shilan Middle School as your girlfriend is not enough. You are still eyeing the pot while having your fill." Su Xiaoqiang sneered.

"Fuck, I don't want to tell you. You were the one who asked! And you were the one who asked first..."

Feeling like Lu Mingfei who was being trapped in a sting operation, before he could finish his words, he felt the little goddess' head lightly resting on his back again, with her long black hair sliding down her back.

"But I can't help it. Who told me to fall in love with a scumbag like you..."

Her fingers gently grasped a handful of Lu Mingfei's clothes in front of her, and she said sweetly in the same soft voice as before: "I like you very much, and I know Miaomiao likes you too, and the degree to which she likes you is no less than mine. I have been avoiding you for so long, but now I understand that even if the other person is Miaomiao, I don't want to give you to her so easily."

“Is this considered a declaration of war?” Lu Mingfei said softly, “But I’m still Miaomiao’s boyfriend, I will definitely stand on Miaomiao’s side.”

One should not be too Zhao Menghua! Lu Mingfei added in his heart.

"So, after thinking about it, I feel that Miaomiao has already taken the first-mover advantage, so my chances of winning are not very high." Su Xiaoqiang tilted his head behind Lu Mingfei, "So, if you use the bet to threaten me and want me to be your lover, it's not impossible. When you get tired of Miaomiao, I can seamlessly make her your regular wife."

Thinking back to the past, Liu Miaomiao and the little angel were so far away from him. He had only seen such scenes of girls being jealous of each other in his expressionless senior brother. Now, he has become the male protagonist of the anime harem at the center of the vortex and can choose between the two school beauties at will.

There is no boy who would not be moved after hearing such a suggestion. But being moved is one thing, and it is just a thought.

In the final analysis, it was the same old saying, one should not be too Zhao Menghua. If he were with the little goddess, it would definitely be aboveboard, and he would not do such a thing as playing two women at the same time and making the little goddess his lover.

"Forget it." Lu Mingfei smiled and said.

"Well, it's exactly the answer I imagined." Su Xiaoqiang said in a melodious tone, "If you really ask me to fulfill that bet, you are not Lu Mingfei - but a real scumbag."

As Su Xiaoqiang spoke, her tone suddenly became cold and fierce, and she said viciously: "Don't ask Miaomiao to come at that time, I will personally help her deal with the scumbag."

Lu Mingfei exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!" He didn't expect that the atmosphere had become so tense, and the little goddess would still use this fishing enforcement trick on him. Fortunately, he was upright and didn't fall for it, otherwise there would be new gossip on the Shilan Middle School forum!
"Ainda——" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly said in Portuguese: "What a shame! How can I help you..."

As usual, Lu Mingfei didn't understand the meaning of the Portuguese words spoken by the little goddess. However, a second later, as if a light bulb suddenly flashed in his brain, he naturally understood the meaning of the Portuguese words, as if he had mastered Portuguese in an instant.

"But——what should I do? This makes me seem to like you even more..."

Lu Mingfei listened to the sweet Portuguese love words spoken by the little goddess that were automatically translated in his mind, and his heart was pounding. He thought that this must be another trick played by the little devil, making him suddenly understand Portuguese or something...

Su Xiaoqiang certainly didn't know that the love words she had just said in Portuguese were actually heard clearly by Lu Mingfei. She rested her chin on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and suddenly stood up, pointing her finger forward, and shook Lu Mingfei's back:
"Ah! That flower is so beautiful, I want to pick it!"

The little angel tiptoed down from Lu Mingfei's back, squatted barefoot in front of a particularly gorgeous red rose in full bloom by the dirt road, carefully reached out to pick it, and then showed it to Lu Mingfei: "Is it beautiful?"

"Beautiful." Lu Mingfei answered, looking at the little goddess in front of him.

Su Xiaoqiang hummed a song, gently picked the rose, and then skillfully removed the thorns on the flower stem.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you just now." Su Xiaoqiang asked as he stabbed her, "How far have you and Miaomiao gotten?"

Which step? Is it what I thought it meant?

"Which step?" Lu Mingfei asked uncertainly.

"Are you pretending to be stupid? How much more can a couple do?" Su Xiaoqiang turned his head and looked up at Lu Mingfei with a frown.

“It was just a kiss.” Lu Mingfei said, “Miaomiao and I are still high school students! And we’ve only been together for a short time, how much can we go further!”

"Tsk, I didn't expect that you have such a carnivorous face, but you are actually quite innocent at heart."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, how could he be a carnivore? He was clearly a pure love warrior. In his previous life, even his first kiss was taken away by Jiude Mai! He had never kissed a few girls properly.

"Lu Mingfei, what do you think..." Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and looked at him: "Can I be a little willful?"

“Willful? Aren’t you usually quite willful?” Lu Mingfei said.

Su Xiaoqiang smiled and snorted disdainfully: "Usually that's called willful? Usually I'm well-behaved, okay?"

"Aren't you usually willful?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. "Then what does it take to be willful?"

"like this."

A fragrant breeze blew by his ears, and the hot autumn wind blew the whole flower field sideways. The flower branches waved like hands, and the little fairy's hands once again wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck, but this time it was no longer from his arms or from behind, but from the front.

The breath spraying on my face has never been so close and rapid. Softness and tenderness are exchanged at this moment. The feelings of the roses blooming in autumn are so warm that even the pain of teeth knocking on lips turns into tenderness around lips.
