Chapter 305: Blowing Dandelions
It was indeed a waste of effort, as the grass by the river had all withered, and even if there were one or two dandelions blooming out of season, they could be seen at a glance.
Lu Mingfei didn't ask Chen Wenwen why she suddenly thought of looking for dandelions by the river.
Although Chen Wenwen and Nuonuo have very different personalities, Lu Mingfei sometimes feels that they have some common traits. It's not that they are all people that Lu Mingfei has had a crush on...
Both of them have some unconventional thinking.
Needless to say, the clever little red-haired witch dragged Lu Mingfei to the top of the mountain above the school to soak her feet even when the enemies had already entered the Hall of Heroes. Chen Wenwen did the same, dragging Lu Mingfei to pick dandelions while walking on the way home.
"Are you still looking for it?" Lu Mingfei asked Chen Wenwen.
"No, I haven't found it after searching for so long, so it must be gone. It's getting dark, and I have to go home. My parents will scold me if I go back too late." Chen Wenwen shook her head.
In fact, it was not yet six o'clock, but it always gets dark early in winter. Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen walked along the cobblestone road along the river.
Neither of them talked much, and even Lu Mingfei followed Chen Wenwen naturally, without saying hello to Chen Wenwen, and Chen Wenwen didn't ask. He just felt that it was so dark, even if it was because of the friendship between Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao, he had the obligation to see Chen Wenwen off.
I don't know who started it, but the two of them started chatting about random things to pass the time.
"Where is your uncle and aunt's house?" Chen Wenwen suddenly asked.
"Oh, in..." Lu Mingfei quickly gave the name of a community.
Chen Wenwen said "Oh" and nodded: "That's not far from my home."
For this boy who has attracted much attention in the entire grade and even in the entire school, the image of Lu Mingfei in Chen Wenwen's mind has actually been changing.
From being sloppy at the beginning, to being reliable and warm-hearted later, and then to being a two-timing pervert recently.
Before, she had always thought that "stepping on two boats" was just an adjective. It was not until this afternoon when she saw Lu Mingfei flirting with Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang with his legs spread out to the left and right that she realized that "stepping on two boats" was actually a verb.
The thought that popped up in her dizzy little head at that time was: Fortunately, Lu Mingfei didn’t have a third leg, otherwise I would be sitting next to him...
Of course, Chen Wenwen, whose heart was still pure at this time, did not know that Lu Mingfei actually had a third leg. Su Xiaoqiang was more clear about this.
Master, rough! County magistrate, hard! Master Lu...
However, although Lu Mingfei's image in her heart had collapsed into that of a sex-hungry ghost, Chen Wenwen didn't know why, but she didn't seem to hate Lu Mingfei that much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acquiesced to let Lu Mingfei accompany her.
It was completely dark, and the streetlights on both sides of the road lit up one by one, like lighthouses guiding a lost mail ship.
The cobblestone road along the river slowly merges with the gently sloping main road, and there is a fork in the road ahead. To reach the neighborhood where Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt live, turn right, while to reach Chen Wenwen's home, turn left.
Chen Wenwen took out her phone and looked at it. It was already half past six. School ended at five, so she would usually be home around five forty. Although she was delayed for a while today by the river looking for dandelions, it was only about ten or twenty minutes.
The road that usually takes very little time to walk seemed to take extra time today. I took every three steps and was very slow.
Chen Wenwen was just about to turn around and say goodbye to Lu Mingfei, saying "Goodbye, I'm going to go another way", but was suddenly stopped by Lu Mingfei.
"Chen Wenwen, look at what this is."
Chen Wenwen turned her head subconsciously and saw Lu Mingfei squatting on the grass nearby. She squatted down as well and saw a small, fluffy thing where Lu Mingfei was protecting his hands.
Chen Wenwen was stunned for a moment.
"There are actually dandelions in this season." Lu Mingfei turned his head and smiled at Chen Wenwen, "Do you want some?"
"Um... ah?"
Chen Wenwen paused, and before she could answer, Lu Mingfei reached out, plucked the dandelion in the middle of his palm, and handed it to Chen Wenwen.
Chen Wenwen looked at the dandelion in front of her, stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"Lu Mingfei, you are so real. How can you give dandelions to a girl?"
But she still took the dandelion from Lu Mingfei.
"I've accepted it. Thank you, Lu Mingfei. But you must remember not to give dandelions to Miaomiao and the others in the future. They might not be happy."
Lu Mingfei didn't know what was going on here. He looked at Chen Wenwen and thought to himself that he almost gave you a bouquet of dandelions in his previous life.
As she spoke, she picked up the somewhat dry stalk of the dandelion and placed it in front of herself. She took a breath and blew gently. The fluffy seeds scattered in the night wind, like rain falling into the water, and disappeared in an instant.
……
Downstairs at the Prince InterContinental Hotel, Liu Miaomiao waved goodbye to her mother.
Tonight, Liu Miaomiao was going to accompany her mother to the music salon. It wasn't that she was looking for an excuse because she couldn't stand Lu Mingfei. Well, she also wanted to use this excuse to escape from Lu Mingfei.
The main reason was that Lu Mingfei was a little too ostentatious. It would have been fine if I had asked him to hold my hand, but when he held my hand, he also reached out to hold Su Xiaoqiang's hand.
She didn't really mind Lu Mingfei holding Su Xiaoqiang's hand, but couldn't they take turns?
Lu Mingfei was holding himself and Su Xiaoqiang on the left and right. If someone who knew them saw this scene, what would they think the relationship between the three of them was?
Liu Miaomiao was too thin-skinned and couldn't get over the last hurdle in her heart.
But she did want to go to the music salon. Ji Ruyan noticed that Liu Miaomiao was not in a good mood a few days ago, so she suggested taking Liu Miaomiao to this kind of music exhibition to have some fresh air.
Liu Miaomiao is also preparing to take the piano performance certificate. Get to know more people in the industry at the salon. Who knows, one day they may become the judges sitting opposite you in the competition.
This is how society is. Your own strength is certainly important, but if you have connections to support you, your path will be much smoother.
Thinking of Lu Mingfei holding her hand on the road and rubbing her calves under the table, Liu Miaomiao's pretty face turned slightly red again. She didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Lu Mingfei now.
Although she lied to herself, saying that she had let Lu Mingfei go and that they were just friends now, she still let Lu Mingfei do whatever he wanted. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Liu Miaomiao suddenly shook her head violently, then sighed with a blush on her face. She felt like a fish that was tricked by Lu Mingfei and took the bait. Her whole life would be in his hands.
She took out her cell phone from her pocket and checked the time. There was still half an hour before the salon started. Although she could enter now, she didn't want to go so early.
My mother has a lot of friends in the circle. Every time she attends this kind of event, she will be asked a lot of questions, and it has been like this since she was a child.
It's just like every Chinese New Year when relatives and friends get together, the well-behaved, best-looking child in the family who looks most like a porcelain doll is always the object of everyone's teasing.
When she was little, she was asked if there was a handsome boy she liked in her kindergarten class. Now that she has grown up, she is asked if she has a boyfriend in high school.
I don't have any bad intentions, I just think you're cute, so I want to tease you.
It wasn't very late, but the night was already very dark. Winter nights always feel the most like night. However, the CBD area was very lively, with pedestrians bustling on the road and surveillance cameras, so Liu Miaomiao was not afraid.
Just at this moment, Liu Miaomiao suddenly noticed that something seemed to have happened at a stall not far ahead, and a group of people gathered there.
There are also street vendors in places like CBD centers. Although the city management officers often come to drive them away, there are always street vendors trying to squeeze in. Where there are business opportunities, there will be street vendors. This is already a feature of this country.
Liu Miaomiao actually doesn’t really like to join in the fun, but for some reason she followed the crowd.
Perhaps, his attention was unconsciously attracted by the striking dark red hair in the center of the crowd.
……
In the middle of the crowd, Nuo Nuo was holding a grilled sausage in his mouth, with a helpless expression on his face.
It took her more than an hour to get from the airport to her hotel in a taxi, and she was exhausted from the journey. She also felt uncomfortable eating the pre-prepared meals on the plane.
So, after completing the check-in procedures and taking a shower in the room, she immediately went downstairs to find food.
Of course, there is actually a restaurant in the hotel, but Nono knows that the food that best represents China is often found in the alleys and on street stalls.
There were all kinds of snacks on the street stalls, all of which were a combination of carbohydrates and fats, and they looked very unhealthy. But unhealthy things often mean they tasted good. Nuonuo couldn't make up her mind, so she decided to start from the nearest stall selling grilled sausages and eat her way to the other stalls.
The grilled sausage was golden, crispy and sizzling, and coated with red chili oil. Just as Nuonuo took it from the boss's hand, put it in her mouth, and reached into her trouser pocket to take out money, she opened her wallet and saw the green adult head and colorful coins in her wallet, which suddenly made her remember.
I haven't had time to exchange it for RMB.
"You don't accept US dollars? Well, how about Euros? Ten Euros can be exchanged for one hundred RMB. No need for you to give me the change." Nuo Nuo stuffed the ten-dollar bill back into his wallet, took out a ten-euro bill and handed it to the boss.
"No, no, we don't understand your money." The boss waved his hand.
Nuonuo scratched her head in annoyance. She didn't mean to blame the boss. After all, let alone 2006, even in 2026, there would probably be many people who had never seen the US dollar and the euro. It was understandable that the boss refused to take the money.
She was just a little annoyed that she didn't exchange some money at the front desk when she went downstairs. Most star-rated hotels provide foreign currency exchange services.
Several boys in the crowd were actually ready to make a move. They were attracted by Nuonuo's beauty. The money was not much, and maybe they could get the beautiful woman's phone number. However, Nuonuo's aura of being difficult to mess with made them a little discouraged.
While they were still hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
"Shall I pay for her?"
Liu Miaomiao got into the crowd, took out her wallet from her pocket, and asked the boss with a smile: "How much?"
