Chapter 279 The Law of Causality Fails
Chen Wenwen placed her hands on her heaving chest, took a deep breath, and opened the document hidden in the corner of her computer's hard drive.
The creation of this document was actually accidental. When she and Lu Mingfei were compiling the club journal before the school anniversary celebration, she originally wanted to write the plot of compiling the club journal into the novel written by Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao.
But I don’t know what happened that night. She actually wrote Liu Miaomiao’s name instead of her own name.
This mistake was not serious, and she only needed to simply replace the name. After discovering this small mistake, she really wanted to change all three characters in Chen Wenwen back to Liu Miaomiao.
However, just as she was about to replace it, an incomprehensible idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She copied the entire paragraph she had written that day and saved it in another newly created document.
Document name: "Lu Mingfei x Chen Wenwen".
In fact, after thinking about it, Chen Wenwen realized that this might be a misunderstanding. Lu Mingfei must have mistaken her legs for Su Xiaoqiang's, so he kept rubbing them.
However, the tingling feeling brought by the boy's gentle rubbing of her legs could not be erased from her heart.
Chen Wenwen's delicate face flushed slightly, and her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, writing down everything that happened today.
Why was such a document created? Chen Wenwen didn't know. Although they were in the front and back rows, her high school life didn't overlap much with Lu Mingfei. Before Lu Mingfei offered to help her edit the club magazine, the two of them didn't even talk much.
Even that time, when she finally mustered up the courage to invite Lu Mingfei to join the literature club, he rejected her. Instead, Zhao Menghua was the boy who communicated with her the most.
However, perhaps because she had taken on the ghostwriting job for the post "About the Fallen Lu Mingfei and His Life on Thin Ice", her eyes would always unconsciously linger on Lu Mingfei on weekdays.
Shen Congwen once said that novel writing should "focus on the characters." Wang Zengqi interpreted this sentence as: Only when a writer has a detailed enough observation of the characters he writes about can he write works that touch people's hearts.
So it’s okay to look at Lu Mingfei a few more times...right?
No matter what the reason was, the short answer is that Chen Wenwen kept the erroneous writing that made herself the heroine of the novel.
Later, every time she received a story outline from someone in her mailbox and processed it into a story, Chen Wenwen would always first write one in which Liu Miaomiao was the heroine, and then after a mental struggle, she would blush and write another in which she was the heroine.
However, she was ultimately reluctant to include scenes like Lu Mingfei accompanying her to edit the club journal and sending her a birthday cake (Swiss roll) into the “main text” and instead wrote them into her own “fan fiction”.
It was as if such a story really happened between her and Lu Mingfei in another timeline.
……
As soon as he opened the door, the light from the living room came into view. Before Lu Mingfei could pull out the key, he heard a crisp sound coming from inside the house.
"Brother, you are back!"
Those who didn't see Xia Mi heard her voice first. The big TV in the living room was playing Conan's theatrical movie "The Ferris Wheel", which was in Mandarin.
Lu Mingfei replied, "Yeah, I'm back." Then he walked straight to the living room and put the dessert box on the coffee table.
Xia Mi was lazily lying on the sofa, her hand holding the remote control half hanging in the air. When she saw Lu Mingfei put the box of dessert in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, then she folded her legs behind her, sat up, and stared at the box like Conan, stroking her chin:
"What is this? A bomb?"
"Yes, yes, an alchemical bomb, specially used to slay dragons." Lu Mingfei replied nonsensically: "It's tiramisu. I brought it back for you from the CBD center because I was afraid you wouldn't have eaten alone at home."
After coming out of the game hall, Lu Mingfei made a detour to "NO Name" and bought a tiramisu and brought it back.
“Oh, the sun is rising from the west?” Xia Mi widened her eyes and looked Lu Mingfei up and down: “I know, you must be pretending to be Senior Brother Lu! Tell me, where did you hide the real Senior Brother!”
Xia Mi was greeted by a knife attack.
"Goooo..."
A minute later, Xia Mi rubbed her head while putting cake into her sunken mouth, looking aggrieved.
But this grievance was obviously mostly acting. Not to mention that Lu Mingfei was not willing to use any strength at all, even if he did, he couldn't break the defense of Xia Mi, the first generation dragon king. This little dragon girl is always like this, making a fuss.
But it's actually quite strange. Lu Mingfei used to be a typical otaku. Otakus are creatures that generally dislike trouble and prefer quietness.
But since Xia Mi took advantage of the situation and moved into his house, she would quarrel with him almost every day. Although the house was noisy every day, Lu Mingfei did not feel annoyed by the noise.
Every night when I come home and open the door, there is a vibrant voice greeting me. It feels pretty good.
It's like there's really a family member waiting for you at home. The tired feeling of "finally home" will be swept away with the sound.
"By the way, Senior Brother." Xia Mi turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei, fork still in her mouth, "How was the trip to Portugal? Was it fun?"
Lu Mingfei returned home on Thursday. Today was the weekend, so it was a bit inappropriate to ask this question now. However, since Lu Mingfei immediately lay down on the bed to adjust to the time difference after returning home, he had not spoken to Xia Mi seriously in the past few days. Today was the first formal meeting since he returned home.
“A trip to Portugal...”
Lu Mingfei recalled that the experience of this trip was indeed a bit complicated, and it was really hard to summarize it in just a few words. If I had to highlight a few key points, the biggest highlight of this trip was nothing more than -
Capture the little angel.
Secondly, it would be the group of people you met from Kassel College, right?
And I met Nono at the end of the trip.
"It's not fun. I don't want to go a second time." Lu Mingfei supported himself on the back of the sofa and leaned down next to Xia Mi.
Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei and smiled wickedly: "Isn't it fun? You even played with Senior Sister Su Xiaoqiang in bed. You guys booked a room for three days in Italy, right?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned, as if a secret in his heart had been exposed. His thick skin, which was like living a second life, blushed for a rare moment: "How did you know?"
But he immediately remembered the brand on his hand. Through this brand left when he entered Nibelungen, Xia Mi could know almost all of his actions.
It's a weird feeling, like knowing someone has installed a surveillance camera on you but you can't remove it.
What would have happened if I really lost control and had sex with the little angel?
Can Xiaolongnu feel it too?
If she and Miaomiao were in love, would she feel her own feelings or would she feel Miaomiao's feelings?
Or is it a double overlay?
"Brother, are you thinking about something strange?" Xia Mi suddenly put her hands in front of her chest, "There's something wrong with your eyes!"
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, wondering if he was really that obvious.
"By the way, Senior Brother." Xia Mi put down the fork in her hand and suddenly said, "Actually, I still have to thank you for one thing."
"What's the matter?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"The dragon that Bernardo imprisoned is a dragon from the lineage of the King of the Earth and the Mountains. It has nothing to do with me! But it is also a dragon descended from my brother's lineage."
Xia Mi pursed her lips and suddenly became a little impatient: "I'm so annoyed. I don't know what to say. Anyway, thank you, senior brother! Thank you, senior brother, for giving him freedom and not letting him be kept in captivity like a pet for the rest of his life..."
The Dragon King thanking the hybrids or something... it seems like something out of the blue.
Besides, there seemed to be something else hidden in this thank you. It was like some kind of reminder, reminding Lu Mingfei that although they lived together temporarily, she was still a dragon, and Lu Mingfei was still a human.
Maybe she was also reminding herself.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent. Although it was a bit ostrich-like to say this, Lu Mingfei had already gotten used to turning a blind eye to some things. For example, after living with Xia Mi for a long time, he would slowly think of treating Xia Mi as a younger sister living with him.
"Family feeling" has always been something that is missing in Lu Mingfei's life. He has never seen his parents since he can remember. Although his uncle and aunt are his closest relatives besides his parents, they are more like his breeders to Lu Mingfei. They only need to perform the duty of feeding him. It's not that they don't care about him, but it's definitely not much.
On the contrary, it was during the time he lived with Xia Mi that Lu Mingfei slowly felt the feeling of "family".
Is it really difficult to create a "family"? In fact, it is not difficult. When you go out every day, someone says to you "be careful on the road", and when you leave school every day, someone says to you "welcome home". It is enough to face a cold house and cold people. Xia Mi lowered her eyes, and Lu Mingfei's heart moved slightly. An inexplicable idea suddenly emerged in his heart like a small bud.
On the other hand, have I also given this little dragon girl a sense of home?
However, this thought only flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind, and then he smiled silently.
What are you thinking about? This guy is the Dragon King!
But creatures like the Dragon King, where brothers and sisters kill each other every day...maybe they lack the "sense of family" more than himself.
Looking at Xia Mi who was sitting beside him without saying a word, Lu Mingfei suddenly reached out his hand and wiped the corner of her mouth. Xia Mi didn't react to Lu Mingfei's sudden behavior at all. When she subconsciously raised her head to look at Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei had already withdrawn his hand.
"There are cake crumbs on your lips." Lu Mingfei explained, "Let me wipe them off for you."
Xia Mi blinked her beautiful eyes, then suddenly narrowed them, and said with a wicked smile: "Brother, you are so greedy. You already have two girlfriends, and you still want to flirt with me? I don't mind adding someone to your harem, but if you want to take a concubine, you have to subdue Liu Miaomiao first."
It was true that the action just now was a bit ambiguous, but Lu Mingfei didn't know how Xia Mi could suddenly change the topic to the matter of opening a harem. And he was really struggling with how to make Liu Miaomiao accept this matter.
"Although I don't mind being your concubine, you have to spend a lot of money to pursue me. Girls are not that easy to pursue."
Xia Mi tilted her head, put her hands together, and stretched them out to Lu Mingfei: "For example, can you give me 80,000 yuan to buy clothes? Winter is almost here, and Junior Sister hasn't bought all her winter clothes yet."
Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi, sighed meaningfully, stood up from the sofa, patted Xia Mi on the head and said, "You are still young, let's talk about it when you grow up."
Xia Mi: "..."
Gritting her teeth, she watched Lu Mingfei go into his room until the door closed. The gnashing expression on Xia Mi's face suddenly disappeared. She bent her legs, hugged the pillow and fell on the sofa, staring at the incandescent light on the ceiling in a daze.
He reached out and touched the corner of his mouth.
Brother, you——
That's really a bit unfair.
……
Monday, April 11th.
After mastering the pattern, Lu Mingfei was able to easily control the people he met in the morning.
If you go out early, you will meet Liu Miaomiao.
If you go out at night, you will meet Su Xiaoqiang.
If you go out neither too early nor too late, you will meet Chen Wenwen.
Lu Mingfei, who was standing by the door and thinking about when to go out, suddenly felt like an ancient emperor flipping the clapper of his concubine.
Which beloved concubine will sleep with you today?
"Brother, aren't you going out yet?" Xia Mi, carrying her schoolbag, bent down to put on her little leather shoes at the door.
"Well, let's wait a little longer." Lu Mingfei said.
"How strange..." Xia Mi muttered, stood up, tapped the ground with her toes, and waved to Lu Mingfei, "Brother, I'll be leaving first. See you tonight."
"Okay, see you tonight." Lu Mingfei also waved.
This familiar feeling is probably the “sense of family”, right?
Lu Mingfei chose to go out late today. He went home with Liu Miaomiao yesterday, and as a master of keeping things balanced, he should have gone to school with Su Xiaoqiang this morning.
As long as you go out late, whether it is one minute late or ten minutes late, it will 100% trigger the event of meeting Su Xiaoqiang. This is the law of cause and effect.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Mingfei walked out of the community gate, he saw Su Xiaoqiang getting off the car at the intersection.
"..."
"..."
The two looked at each other in silence until the black Audi A8 drove away. Then Su Xiaoqiang greeted them in a low voice while playing with her hair with her fingers.
"Morning..."
Then his face changed and he said angrily, "I deliberately didn't get off at the intersection, how come I can still meet you here?"
“Maybe it’s fate?” Lu Mingfei walked over and easily untied Su Xiaoqiang’s clenched fist, then gently held it. “Good morning, Qiangqiang.”
Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand symbolically, "Holding hands here, aren't you afraid of being seen by people at school?"
"It's okay. There have always been rumors about us on the Shilan Middle School forum."
"Oh, that's really the typical scumbag's words." Su Xiaoqiang snorted proudly, "What about Miaomiao? Aren't you afraid that she will see it?"
Of course I’m not afraid, because according to the law of causality, Miaomiao is already in the classroom... Lu Mingfei thought.
"Don't be afraid. I'll tell her about this sooner or later anyway."
"Mr. Lu, are you planning to wait until the last day of the half-month deadline to tell her?"
"Probably not. At most it will be delayed until the second to last day of the half-month deadline."
"..."
Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei's smooth talk and suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why did he fall in love with this guy uncontrollably?
And share it with other girls...
But since I'm sharing it with Miaomiao, I can still accept it a little bit in my heart.
Wait, that’s not right. Even if I share it with Miaomiao, I can’t accept it!
What I want to see is just this guy making that outrageous proposal to Miaomiao and then being harshly rejected by Miaomiao!
Su Xiaoqiang shook his head vigorously in his heart.
Having said that, she still let Lu Mingfei hold her hand in a very unconvincing manner.
"Have you had breakfast?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"No." Su Xiaoqiang answered honestly.
"Then let's eat together? I know there's a breakfast shop nearby that serves delicious noodles."
"Okay, I'm going to order all the noodles on the menu and see how I'll eat you out of money!"
Just as the two were holding hands and bickering like enemies as usual, suddenly there was a sound of rapid brakes beside them.
The two people turned their heads subconsciously.
The next moment, the expressions on their faces froze at the same time, and they immediately let go of each other's hands.
In front of the two of them, a black BMW sedan braked, and Liu Miaomiao, carrying a schoolbag and hunching her waist, slowly got down from the back seat.
"Hey, Mingfei, Qiangqiang." Liu Miaomiao's eyes sparkled and she tilted her head to greet him: "What a coincidence? Good morning~"
