Chapter 36 Cute Hello Kitty
After dinner, Lu Mingfei accompanied Liu Miaomiao and Qiao Yiran for a walk around Zhushikou.

Lu Mingfei actually wanted to go back to the hotel and fall asleep immediately, but girls often can't help but want to walk around when they arrive at a new place, so Lu Mingfei had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the girl.

Lu Mingfei walked behind with his head resting on his hands, and the conversation between the two began from the front.

"Why is this place called Zhushikou? Is it because there used to be a lot of jewelry sellers here?"

"I don't know either..."

In fact, Lu Mingfei really knew about this. It was Xia Mi who explained it to him when he came to BJ that year.

It is said that this place was actually called Zhushikou during the Qing Dynasty, which was a market dedicated to selling pigs. However, Zhushikou was in a particularly good location, being a major transportation route in the imperial capital. The emperor had to pass by here every time he went on tour or went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices.

The emperor could not stand the smell of the pig market, so he issued an order that pigs could not be sold here, and changed the name of Zhushikou to Zhushikou. In fact, jewelry was never sold here.

After hearing this, Lu Mingfei felt that the emperor was quite overbearing. He refused to let people sell pigs just because he disliked the pigs' stench.

But Lu Mingfei immediately understood again, if the emperor is not domineering, can he still be called an emperor?
However, instead of lamenting the emperor's tyranny, Lu Mingfei was more impressed by the physical strength of Liu Miaomiao and Qiao Yiran.

Aren’t these two people really good at shopping?
Lu Mingfei could understand Qiao Yiran's good physical strength. After all, she was the tennis princess of Shilan Middle School and a rising star in the sports world, so her athletic ability was naturally strong.

But Liu Miaomiao, who looks so delicate, weak and quiet, how come she has such good physical strength?

Lu Mingfei followed the two people walking eastward from Zhushikou, and saw the landmark signs on the side of the road change from Buxiangzi to Guozishi, and then to Jiangjia Hutong and Bingjiao Xiejie.

Occasionally, when they pass by a store selling small collectibles, the two of them would go into the store to take a look at the small items on sale, but after looking at them for a while, they would not buy anything.

If they hadn't happened to wander to Zhushikou subway station and had a travel schedule tomorrow morning, Lu Mingfei estimated that the two of them could have walked around for a few more hours.

“Oh, luckily my physical fitness is strong enough now, otherwise I really can’t keep up with these two people.” Lu Mingfei sighed quietly in the back.

"How about we take the subway back?" Qiao Yiran suddenly suggested when they arrived at the subway station entrance.

Although Lu Mingfei and his family’s hometown is also a coastal provincial capital with good economic development, it has never built a subway.

Lu Mingfei remembered that it was not until he went to college that his hometown had a plan to build a subway.

It is said that the southern section of Line 1 will pass by Shilan Middle School and the gate of the residential area where my uncle and aunt live. In the future, you will no longer have to catch the bus to go to Shilan Middle School.

But until the year Lu Mingfei went to Tokyo, that subway line had not yet been opened.

And even if it had been opened, Lu Mingfei estimated that he would hardly have the chance to take that subway.

A long time ago, Lu Mingfei was curious about why the ancients could think of inventing the hourglass and using sand to record the passage of time.

It was not until many years later that Lu Mingfei figured this out.

Because sand is like time, the more you try to hold it, the faster it passes.

So you can only relax it a little and keep it within a suitable flow rate so that it can dissipate as slowly as possible.

But no matter how slowly it flows, one day, it will flow away from your fingertips.

There is always a girl wearing a white dress, sitting on a bench under a tree on campus and reading a book.

There is always a girl who will be the last to appear and play the piano at the annual party of Shilan Middle School.

Every year there are stories of secret crushes happening, and every year there are stories of secret crushes ending.

But if that girl is not Chen Wenwen, if that girl is not Liu Miaomiao, what is the meaning to Lu Mingfei?

The scenery is always the same, but everyone's youth is unique. Therefore, when Lu Mingfei was reborn and returned to his third year of junior high school on the first day, he thought that maybe God let him return to this time point to fulfill his unfinished regrets in life?
But what are the regrets in his youth?

……

Lu Mingfei's thoughts were gently interrupted by Liu Miaomiao's voice, which was as gentle as spring breeze and rain.

"It's not far from the hotel, why do we have to take the subway?"

"I haven't taken the subway yet. I'm a little curious. And I remember there's a subway station not far from the hotel."

"Alright, alright, I'm convinced..."

Liu Miaomiao tilted her head, pouted, blinked gently, and showed a kind of joyful helplessness on her face.

Her eyelashes were so thick and fluttered like she was wearing mascara. She was so close to Lu Mingfei that every beautiful detail on her delicate face was clearly visible to Lu Mingfei.

Youth? Regret?
Lu Mingze's ghostly voice sounded in his mind again:
"Why don't you start with Liu Miaomiao and feel what it's like to chase a girl. She's pretty, has a good family background, and is a piano genius. Her conditions are no worse than Chen Wenwen's. It must be very prestigious to be with her."

"Have you really never thought about what it would be like to be with Liu Miaomiao? When she fell asleep on your shoulder on the plane, you must have had a heartbeat for a moment. But that was Liu Miaomiao, she was so beautiful, her hair smelled so good, and you could kiss her just by lowering your head a little."

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it…!
Lu Mingfei hurriedly stopped thinking, cursed "damn" countless times in his heart, and shook his head frantically, trying to force the little devil's persuasion out of his mind.

What are you thinking about, Lu Mingfei!

I want you to get close to Liu Miaomiao to help her escape from the sea of ​​suffering and prevent her from being deceived by a scumbag! I don't want you to take her away!
However, these two things don’t seem to conflict…?
"...Mingfei, Lu Mingfei?"

"Um... ah?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly came to his senses and looked hurriedly towards the source of the sound, but he didn't know when Liu Miaomiao had walked to his side, about fifteen centimeters away from him.

A gust of wind blew over, gently lifting her hair that was casually spread behind her, and bringing the familiar fragrance over.

Liu Miaomiao put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lu Mingfei from bottom to top with her misty eyes?
"Yiran said she wanted to take the subway back...do you want to take it?" Liu Miaomiao blinked.

"I……"

Lu Mingfei hurriedly avoided his gaze and pretended to fix his bangs with his hands.

"I'll sit down too."

"Look, Lu Mingfei is sitting too." Qiao Yiran made a "yeah" gesture to Liu Miaomiao, "Two votes equal one vote, the minority obeys the majority."

"I can't do anything with you guys."

Liu Miaomiao snorted softly, but without any unhappy expression. She turned around and waved her hand gently towards Lu Mingfei.

"Then let's go down the stairs, Lu Mingfei. Do you know how to buy subway tickets in the capital? I've only taken the subway in Paris and London..."

"I know."

Lu Mingfei stretched his legs, took a big step, and kept up with Liu Miaomiao's pace.

The "Hello Kitty" hairpin swayed gently on her head.

Lu Mingfei has never watched the "Hello Kitty" animation.

But he suddenly felt that "Hello Kitty" seemed quite cute.
