Chapter 292: Sacrifice teammates first
After expressing his gratitude to Qiao Yiran, Lu Mingfei hung up the phone.

In a small coastal southern city, the snow that falls in early winter is destined not to stay for too long. After a while in the afternoon sun, the snow on the ground slowly melts away, leaving only the snow piled up on both sides of the road. I don't know how long it can hold out.

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang walked side by side on the way back to the classroom.

"Miaomiao, is she really going to transfer schools?"

"That's what Qiao Yiran said."

"So when do you plan to contact Miaomiao?"

"Not ready yet……"

Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, not thinking about when to contact Liu Miaomiao. In fact, he had fully considered when to call and whose number to use, but he had not thought about what to say to Liu Miaomiao to be true.

Today is a working day, and Liu Miaomiao's parents are not at home during the day, so if he wants Liu Miaomiao to answer the call in person, he can only call before night. Secondly, because Liu Miaomiao must be familiar with Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang's mobile phone numbers, he has to find someone to borrow a phone.

There are actually many candidates, but Lu Mingfei first thought of Chen Wenwen. Although Xia Mi could also borrow it, if he wanted to make the call before school was over, it would be more convenient for Chen Wenwen, who was in the same class, to call.

Chen Wenwen probably never thought that she was dragged into the game by Lu Mingfei without her knowledge.

But this call can only be made once. If Lu Mingfei fails to reach the destination this time, he will definitely not have another chance.

Of course, there was also the worst possibility, which was that Liu Miaomiao hung up the phone immediately after hearing his voice.

……

After thinking it over, Lu Mingfei decided that he should make the call as soon as possible.

If you hesitate about some things, you will fail. Even if you think about it after school in the afternoon, you probably won’t be able to figure out how to start the conversation.

Since I didn't know what to say anyway, I might as well leave it to my intuition. After the call was connected, I would tell Liu Miaomiao whatever I thought of.

So, as soon as he returned to the classroom, Lu Mingfei patted Chen Wenwen, who was sitting in the front seat, on the shoulder. He remembered that Chen Wenwen was very sensitive to his "poking" action.

"What's the matter, Lu Mingfei?" Chen Wenwen turned around and asked.

"Can I borrow your phone for a moment?" Lu Mingfei asked, then leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "I'll call Liu Miaomiao."

The warm air from my breath blew into my ears, making them itchy.

Chen Wenwen stepped back slightly and kept a safe distance from Lu Mingfei: "Didn't you bring your phone with you?"

Lu Mingfei paused, hesitating whether to tell Chen Wenwen that he and Liu Miaomiao had a small conflict, when Chen Wenwen turned around, took out a mobile phone from the hole in the table and handed it to Lu Mingfei.

"Yeah." Chen Wenwen shook the phone in her hand.

"Thank you, Chen Wenwen. I'll return it to you after lunch break." Lu Mingfei thanked her immediately after taking the phone: "I'll treat you to a meal some other day."

Chen Wenwen thought of what Lu Mingfei had done when they sat together before, and her expression became a little strange. She quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No need for dinner."

Lu Mingfei didn't notice the weird look on Chen Wenwen's face and thought she was just being polite, so he said, "Don't be polite, it's just a meal, it's not a big deal, let's just say it's settled."

Without giving Chen Wenwen a chance to refuse again, Lu Mingfei left the classroom quickly, leaving Chen Wenwen a little confused.

"???"

It seems that you don’t agree?
Did he just force the invitation on me?

So if he really invites me to dinner one day, should I go or not?

...In order to find a quiet place to make a phone call, Lu Mingfei chose the open space in front of the flag-raising platform.

At noon, this place was rarely visited by people, and this was also the place where he and Liu Miaomiao had their first memories. That was the first time he stood behind Liu Miaomiao and took a graduation photo.

Su Xiaoqiang did not go with Lu Mingfei because she felt that the next call was a time for Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao.

The afternoon sun was a little hot, but luckily it was windy today. Gusts of winter wind blew in from the melting snow, cooling Lu Mingfei's swollen head a little.

This may not be the last communication with Liu Miaomiao. Of course, we may meet again in the future, even if Liu Miaomiao really transfers to Xunli Middle School. It's just that the distance is too far, and the feelings will be diluted little by little by time.

Lu Mingfei remembered an animated film he had watched before, Makoto Shinkai's "5 Centimeters per Second", in which the hero and heroine were separated because of transferring to another school, and the feelings born in the ignorant youth gradually faded away in the long river of time.

Now that the phone call is right in front of him, Lu Mingfei has to consider whether this is his only communication opportunity in this life.

He entered the number and pressed the dial button.

When the "beep" sounded, his heart began to tense up. He hadn't been this nervous for a long time. The oppressive feeling from the ringing of the bell was like facing the Dragon King...

Lu Mingfei didn't have to wait too long. After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up: "Hello? Who are you looking for?"

In fact, he hadn't seen Liu Miaomiao for two days, but Lu Mingfei always felt that he hadn't heard her voice for a long time, clear and crisp, like the sound of a wind chime. The only difference from his memory was that this voice sounded a little haggard and lost, and he didn't know who had hurt her heart.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and said straight to the point: "Miaomiao, it's me."

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then there was silence. For a moment, Lu Mingfei thought Liu Miaomiao had hung up the phone, but when he looked at the phone screen, he found that she hadn't. She just didn't say anything, and Lu Mingfei didn't say anything either.

"What do you want to talk to me about, classmate Lu?" After an unknown amount of time, Liu Miaomiao finally spoke, her voice clear and cold.

Well, we are classmates again. All the efforts of the past few months have gone to waste.

"Miaomiao, aren't you curious about how I know your home phone number?" Hearing Liu Miaomiao's voice was a little cold, Lu Mingfei decided to talk about other topics to warm up the atmosphere.

However, Liu Miaomiao's voice was still cold: "I'm not curious. Who else besides Yiran would know my home phone number?"

"..."

I'm sorry, Ms. Qiao Yiran, I accidentally sold you out.

Lu Mingfei apologized to the historical assist king in his heart.

"What do you want to say? Say it now. If you don't have anything to say, I'll hang up."

Nothing to say? Of course! However, because there was so much to say, Lu Mingfei didn't know how to start.

"How much time do you have?"

"…It's okay. Anyway, I'm alone at home now. I don't have anything to do and it's pretty boring. You can say whatever you want. I will listen to it."

It can be heard that Liu Miaomiao finally softened her heart. What she said was equivalent to telling Lu Mingfei that she was willing to give him a chance.

Lu Mingfei paced back and forth in front of the flag-raising platform: "Then let me tell you about me and Qiangqiang?"

Lu Mingfei did not say "little angel" but "Qiangqiang", which was equivalent to implicitly admitting to Liu Miaomiao his relationship with Su Xiaoqiang.

Liu Miaomiao's voice paused for a moment, followed by a "hmm".
