Chapter 43 Reading Questions

Listening to the train that seemed to come from hell rumbling away, Liu Miaomiao raised her head from Lu Mingfei's arms in a daze.

"I-Are we okay?"

Liu Miaomiao remembered that Lu Mingfei held her in his arms and jumped off the moving train, rolling several times on the ground.

I had already prepared myself to be skinned alive even if I didn't die, but I didn't expect that I would be unscathed, without even a scratch.

"It should be fine now."

Lu Mingfei patted her back gently.

"Oh……"

Having survived a disaster, the two seemed to have to say something to celebrate, but Liu Miaomiao was confused.

Because she felt Lu Mingfei's hand was always on her back, patting it and stopping, just like coaxing a child to sleep.

This kind of intimate behavior has obviously crossed the line in Liu Miaomiao's heart. Is she just rejecting Lu Mingfei?

But Lu Mingfei had been protecting me at such a critical moment just now. So it didn't seem to matter if I let him touch me now...

Seeing that he had slapped Liu Miaomiao so many times and Liu Miaomiao was still lying on him, Lu Mingfei could only say helplessly:

"Um, Liu Miaomiao, can you let me get up first?"

Liu Miaomiao was stunned when she heard this, and then she immediately realized that Lu Mingfei patted her just to remind her to get up.

She blushed and hurriedly sat up from Lu Mingfei, and now she was sitting on Lu Mingfei with her knees on the ground.

However, Liu Miaomiao immediately realized that this posture was actually more ambiguous than the previous one, so she stood up hurriedly again and pulled Lu Mingfei up with her hands.

"I'm sorry." Liu Miaomiao knelt aside, saying with a red face and grievance.

Lu Mingfei sat up from the ground, and let out a breath of cold air due to the pain from his skin being pulled.

In fact, whether it was the few attacks from the sickle weasel just now or the injuries from rolling around after jumping off the train, they were not serious. It was just that the feeling of the flesh being torn apart was much more painful than he had imagined.

I don’t know how Brother Killer, who was often injured in his previous life, could hold back from screaming.

Liu Miaomiao looked at Lu Mingfei grimacing in pain, then she held Lu Mingfei's shoulders with her hands and looked at his back.

Then one could see wounds with skin and flesh torn and cuts everywhere.

Liu Miaomiao immediately covered her mouth. The guilt and heartache she felt for Lu Mingfei overcame the churning feeling in her stomach.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..." Liu Miaomiao burst into tears.

Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to see a girl's tears and wanted to comfort Liu Miaomiao, but he immediately remembered that he seemed to have no experience in comforting girls. He could only stare at Liu Miaomiao's shoulders twitching and tears streaming down her face.

Damn, how is this situation usually played out in TV dramas?

He remembered the scenes from his aunt's favorite Korean dramas, hesitated for a moment, put his arm around Liu Miaomiao's shoulders, and let her head rest gently on his chest.

"Well, stop crying. It has nothing to do with you. I would have gotten injured if I jumped out of the car myself."

Liu Miaomiao buried her face in Lu Mingfei's chest, clutching Lu Mingfei's clothes tightly with both hands, still crying, with the iconic "Hello Kitty" hairpin stubbornly stuck in her hair.

After such a thrilling escape just now, it was still able to hold it firmly.

"We agreed that you would listen to me in the subway station. Now I order you not to cry."

Lu Mingfei tried to speak like a domineering CEO, but it didn't work. He felt like the short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was almost half soaked by his tears.

"If you cry again, I will kiss you." Lu Mingfei said suddenly for some unknown reason.

The moment he said this, Lu Mingfei suddenly regretted it. He didn't know what had gone wrong in his mind that he actually uttered such a threat that sounded like sexual harassment.

However, Lu Mingfei did not expect that this sentence actually worked. Liu Miaomiao's twitching shoulders suddenly calmed down, her crying slowly subsided, her hands loosened Lu Mingfei's clothes, and placed them neatly on her knees.

She lifted her head from Lu Mingfei's chest, biting her lips. Her eyes were red and swollen, with crystal tears on her eyelashes. She couldn't tell if the blush on her face was because she cried too hard just now, or for some other reason.

Damn... You really don't want me to kiss you?

"Were you joking when you said that just now?" Liu Miaomiao asked, wiping the tears from her face with the back of her hand.

“What was that? I just wanted you to stop crying, that’s why I said that.” Lu Mingfei explained in a panic.

Liu Miaomiao lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes.

"Lu Mingfei, you... should be able to see that my family is quite strict in controlling me in this aspect. And I am actually a relatively conservative girl, and I take relationships seriously, so..."

She suddenly raised her head and looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes. Her eyes were so serious. She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind. Even the blush on her face had not completely disappeared.

"So…I'll only let my boyfriend kiss me."

I will only let my boyfriend kiss me? What does that mean?
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He replayed this sentence in his mind several times, but still couldn't figure out the answer to this reading question.

When Lu Mingfei was in school, the question he hated most was the one where they would give you a sentence and ask you to "try to analyze the author's intention."

What other intentions could there be? Isn’t the intention clearly stated in the words?
However, Lu Mingfei couldn't even understand the literal meaning of Liu Miaomiao's reading question.

On the surface, this seems to be a reading question, but when he looks at it carefully, he feels that it is more like a multiple-choice question. However, she doesn't tell you what the options are and asks you to guess for yourself.

At the same time, this seems to be a necessary and sufficient condition in a math problem.

"I will only let my boyfriend kiss me", if you turn this sentence around, it becomes "If you kiss me, you have to be my boyfriend."

Liu Miaomiao looked at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei also looked at Liu Miaomiao, without saying anything. Only the cold wind in the tunnel blew silently between the two people.

Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Miaomiao's lips, which were as pink as peaches, and suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth.

He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Liu Miaomiao's shoulder. The moment his hand was placed on her, Liu Miaomiao's body suddenly trembled as if she had been electrocuted, but immediately returned to her original calm.

The only difference was that both of them's breathing became a little rapid.

"beep--!"

Suddenly, light came from deep in the tunnel, and the sound of a train whistle and the clanking of wheels approached, ruthlessly crushing the tense and ambiguous atmosphere just now - the next train was about to arrive.

"Hurry up." Lu Mingfei took Liu Miaomiao's hand, covered one ear and shouted at the sound of the whistle, "We have to climb onto the platform quickly."

"Okay." Liu Miaomiao replied, and was pulled to her feet by Lu Mingfei, limping.

Lu Mingfei was stunned and glanced at Liu Miaomiao's ankle, which was a little red and swollen. He wondered if Lu Mingze hadn't noticed the injury on her body just now.

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei lifted Liu Miaomiao's legs with his hands, sprinted towards the platform with her on his back, and climbed up with one hand.

Fortunately, Liu Miaomiao is very light, estimated to be less than 90 kilograms, and is able to support the weight of two people with just one hand.

Finally, just before the train was about to enter the platform, Lu Mingfei climbed onto the platform carrying Liu Miaomiao on his back.

Lu Mingfei put Liu Miaomiao down, sat down on the ground, and panted.

"You just carried me on your back. Is the wound on your back okay? Does it hurt?"

Liu Miaomiao hurried to look at Lu Mingfei's back, but was shocked. The back that was bloody just now was now covered with scabs.

“It doesn’t hurt.” Lu Mingfei waved his hand.

"You saved me again just now, thank you..."

Liu Miaomiao knelt beside Lu Mingfei, her almond-shaped eyes swirling around, and two words popped out from her lips, "...Mingfei."
