Chapter 27 Arriving at the Imperial Capital

It takes about 4 hours to fly from Lu Mingfei’s hometown to the imperial capital.

At the beginning, everyone in the class was very excited, admiring the blue sky and white clouds under their feet through the cabin windows. Those with SLR cameras were still snapping pictures outside the windows.

But after the excitement when boarding the plane, everyone suddenly died down as if they had agreed to do so.

Experienced people took out the novels they had prepared long ago to kill time, those who brought MP3s simply put on earplugs and went to sleep, and those who had nothing could only flip through the airline brochures in the side pockets of their seats to kill time.

The bald man sitting on Lu Mingfei's left simply spread out the airline brochure and covered his face with it while sleeping. Seeing this, Lu Mingfei said in his heart that the big brother was tall and hard.

Lu Mingfei was one of those people who didn't bring anything with him.

Logically speaking, Lu Mingfei had frequently traveled around the world by plane in his previous life, so he should have some experience in killing time on planes. And he did buy a complete set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and planned to take it with him on the plane to read.

The problem was that my aunt thought the set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" took up too much space. After putting it in Lu Mingfei's backpack, there was no room for the jar of Erba Sauce, so she stuffed the books into Lu Mingfei's box.

But when he arrived at the airport, Lu Mingfei forgot about this and checked in the set of books along with the suitcase. It is probably now lying in the bottom cabin of the plane.

Unfortunately, he went to bed very early last night and was very energetic now. He couldn't rely on sleeping to get through this period.

Well, it doesn't matter if there's nothing to do. It's only four hours anyway. Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly.

However, the attentive Liu Miaomiao seemed to have noticed Lu Mingfei's predicament, took off the left earphone, and asked:
"Lu Mingfei, didn't you bring anything to pass the time? Novels or something."

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised that Liu Miaomiao actually took the initiative to speak to him, "I did bring it, but I put it in the suitcase and forgot to take it out." Lu Mingfei answered truthfully in a weak tone.

"Oh."

Liu Miaomiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to listen to music with me? I'll share half of my headphones with you."

"Isn't this a bad idea? After all, there's something between us—"

Lu Mingfei was still somewhat concerned about the rumors between him and Liu Miaomiao.

He himself didn't mind being teased by others, but Liu Miaomiao was a girl after all, so he still had to be a little bit concerned about this.

Liu Miaomiao seemed to know what Lu Mingfei was referring to, and her ears started to burn again.

She bit her lip and glanced at Lu Mingfei from the bottom up, as if she was blaming him for bringing up this matter again.

The memories of the dead were attacking both of them at the same time.

Liu Miaomiao adjusted her bangs, avoided Lu Mingfei, looked ahead, and muttered in a low voice: "What's the big deal? If they want to spread it, let them spread it. As long as we have a clear conscience, it doesn't matter - do you want to listen?"

"want…!"

Since the little piano princess Liu Miaomiao said so, the chief steward Lu Mingfei could only obediently offer his hands and take the other side of the earphone from Liu Miaomiao.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei was quite curious about whose songs this girl, who might be the girl with the highest musical literacy in Shilan Middle School, had saved in her MP3?
Jay Chou? David Tao? Or the top idol Wang Leehom?

The MP3 player Liu Miaomiao used was the iPod, which was not very famous in China at that time and had its initial price of US$399.

The price is secondary. The main reason is that as of 06, the domestic grey market is still full of Sony products. iPod is still hard to buy in China, and I don't know how she bought it.

I just took off the headphones and I can still feel the warmth on my palm.

However, the length of the headphone cord seemed to be a little off, so the two of them had to sit closer together.

Lu Mingfei leaned slightly towards Liu Miaomiao, and the high-end fragrance that he smelled when taking the photo before immediately came from the ends of Liu Miaomiao's hair.

Done!

……

What flowed out from the iPod were waves of soothing instrumental music, almost all of which were piano pieces. After listening to a few songs, there was not a single pop song.

But now, Lu Mingfei no longer has the heart to care what kind of music Liu Miaomiao listens to.

Although he lived two lives, but in this life he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy full of vigor and vitality. He was disturbed and distracted by the constant invasion of fragrance from Liu Miaomiao. He almost heard the knock on the card in front of the door and had to try hard to divert his attention.

While I was daydreaming, I suddenly remembered a scene in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" that I had watched before, where the young Jia Baoyu and the young Lin Daiyu slept together.

Baoyu smelled a faint fragrance from Lin Daiyu who was beside him, which came from Daiyu's sleeves, making him intoxicated and numb.

Daiyu asked Baoyu, "I have a wonderful fragrance, do you have a warm fragrance to match it?" Jia Baoyu was confused, and Lin Daiyu laughed at him: "You have jade, so others have gold to match you; others have cold fragrance, so you don't have a warm fragrance to match it?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know about cold and warm fragrances, but he thoroughly experienced the feeling of being intoxicated and numb today. The fragrance coming from Liu Miaomiao was simply too foul.

Just when Lu Mingfei wanted to say to Liu Miaomiao, "Why don't you just forget it and not listen," he suddenly felt his right shoulder sink, as if something had quietly fallen down.

Lu Mingfei turned his head.

Liu Miaomiao leaned lightly on his right shoulder and fell asleep.

"..."

No, sister, please don't play with me.

He remembered that after taking the dimenhydrinate tablets, there is indeed a side effect of drowsiness. But Liu Miaomiao, is it such a coincidence that you fell asleep at such a time? At least take off your headphones first.

And it’s okay for you to sleep, just don’t use my shoulder as a pillow.

As Liu Miaomiao's head rested gently on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, the fragrance became more obvious.

Actually, Lu Mingfei had this kind of close contact with many girls.

Ling was the first one. At the Christmas dance, she took the initiative to invite Lu Mingfei to dance. But Ling rarely had anything that could be called fragrance. I don’t know if it was because it was too cold in Russia to bloom flowers. There was only a very light sense of coolness, like soaked mint.

The second one is Nuonuo. Although Lu Mingfei knew Nuonuo earlier than Ling, the only times he had real close contact with Nuonuo were when he watched the fireworks on Nuonuo’s birthday together on the top of the mountain, and when he hugged Nuonuo in the Three Gorges when she was only wearing a bikini.

Nuonuo is a girl who changes her perfume very frequently. Every time I see her, the scent on her body is always different, but the main note is always a very bold and rich floral scent, which is very similar to her personality.

He didn't know the third girl who had close contact with him. She was a girl he met at an auction. She was wearing a veil and his face could not be seen.

He used the cheat code given by Lu Mingze, spent 100 million US dollars, snatched the seven deadly sins from the girl, and exchanged for a kiss from her. When the girl kissed his cheek, he smelled the faint fragrance lingering on the girl, which seemed to come from an ancient mysterious country.

But Liu Miaomiao's scent was different from those of the other girls. Perhaps because she was still a middle school student, she hadn't learned how to put on makeup yet, and she didn't use perfume. The scent she exuded was the warm woody scent of shower gel.

It's like the girl next door you meet when you go out early in the morning. You walk side by side with her. The weather is comfortable, with blue sky and white clouds. The wind blows her fragrance towards you, ordinary, clear and light. You will subconsciously slow down your pace, hoping that this road can be as long as possible... This is probably the feeling.

Oh shit.

Lu Mingfei suddenly cursed in his heart, feeling that he was becoming more and more perverted. He actually smelled Liu Miaomiao's body fragrance and studied the fragrance of girls...

……

Four hours later, the flight officially arrived in the imperial capital. With a roar, the plane slowed down and landed, and the radio broadcast a new message.

"Have we reached the imperial capital yet?"

Liu Miaomiao rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.

When did I fall asleep, and I was listening to music. I slept well last night.

Also, the airplane seat in front of me looked weird, it was tilted sideways.

The pillows are so hard...

No, pillow?
Liu Miaomiao suddenly tensed up and sat up, turned her head to look at the "pillow" she had just been resting on - Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and her little face turned red again.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry..." Liu Miaomiao clasped her hands together and apologized shyly.

"It's okay." Lu Mingfei, who had already become a Buddha and had no desires or requests, said so.
