Chapter 50 Is Tiramisu delicious?
Going shopping with a girl like Su Xiaoqiang who is as bright and beautiful as a sword is actually a very stressful thing.

Because when you stand next to a girl like this, you are always forced to endure extra scrutiny.

Ever since he got off the taxi and walked with Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei could clearly feel that there were people staring at him like arrows from all directions.

Lu Mingfei had experienced this feeling once before not long ago, when he was taking a photo with Liu Miaomiao. He was invited to stand behind Liu Miaomiao.

At that time, he also felt that the gazes of the boys in the class were like cold arrows, stabbing his back.

How should I describe this feeling of being the center of attention? It's like when you suddenly sneeze several times in a very quiet library, and everyone in the library turns around to look at you.

Fortunately, the current Lu Mingfei is not the 15-year-old Lu Mingfei, so this level of attention is just a drop in the bucket.

In his previous life, when he was a freshman at Kassel College, he had faced much more scrutiny and pressure than this.

You know, the students in the school at that time were so eager to follow him with a magnifying glass to find fun of him.

Lu Mingfei looked at the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of the boys around him, and he actually felt helpless.

Why are you all staring at me with gnashing teeth? Even if I give up my seat next to Su Xiaoqiang now, you can't get to her!
……

In 2006, the Ocean Classic Mall was already the city’s top high-end mall at that time.

However, due to the limitations of the times, the entire supermarket, whether in terms of decoration or layout, is much worse than the large malls that Lu Mingfei experienced 10 years later.

What's more, Lu Mingfei has been to America to study abroad and to Japan on a business trip.

Lu Mingfei has been to Macy's and Bo Luo Ming's department stores in Chicago, as well as the famous neon Ginza.

To use a popular term nowadays, Lu Mingfei is a complete overseas returnee at heart, a man who has seen the world.

Therefore, when he stepped into the Ocean Classic Mall, Lu Mingfei did not show any surprise or exclamation, as if he was simply walking into an ordinary supermarket.

Lu Mingfei's calmness made Su Xiaoqiang unable to help but turn his head and glance at Lu Mingfei.

Su Xiaoqiang is also a beautiful, wealthy woman from a wealthy family. From the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on Fifth Avenue in New York to the Ginza in neon, she goes there twice a year. Naturally, she is not surprised by the decoration inside the Ocean Classic Mall.

It’s just that many boys in her junior high school class like to show off to their classmates by saying things like “My dad took me to the Nike store in Ocean Classic to buy me new shoes”.

Although she also attended Xunli Middle School, a private aristocratic school for junior high school, there were only a few people in her class whose fathers were major shareholders in listed companies and had wealth worth billions, just like her family.

Most of my classmates' families are middle class, with a few hundred to a few million in savings. So it is normal for them to buy branded clothes to compete with each other.

But this Lu Mingfei was wearing a set of baggy, ill-fitting street stall clothes, and when we first met him, he was in a black Internet cafe, looking like a typical internet addict.

However, when entering Ocean Classic, one of the best high-end malls in the city, Lu Mingfei was not surprised at all by the surroundings.

With his hands simply placed at his sides, he walked as if he was taking a stroll in his own garden.

Compared with Lu Mingfei, the urban white-collar workers around him who raised their heads, exclaimed "wow" and took out their mobile phones to take pictures seemed to be much more worldly-wise.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that if you haven’t been to a high-end mall or seen the world, then you will be like this or that.

It's just that when you block the middle of the road to take pictures in a crowded place like a shopping mall, it really affects other people's shopping experience and seems very cheap.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei's straight posture and leisurely look as if he was strolling in the garden actually made Su Xiaoqiang have the illusion for a moment that "how come this guy has the elegant temperament of an old British gentleman?"

This forced Su Xiaoqiang to re-evaluate Lu Mingfei in his heart.

Maybe this guy just looks a little unlucky, and there is a side to him that she doesn't know about?
However, this idea was immediately dispelled when Lu Mingfei passed by a high-end dessert shop, picked up two pieces of tiramisu for trial with a toothpick, and showed a happy expression on his face.

Where did this "old English gentleman" come from? He is clearly a "fool and unlucky guy". I must have made a mistake in my judgment.

Su Xiaoqiang held his forehead and thought.

"Su Xiaoqiang, you can try one too." A voice came from in front of him.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned and put down the hand that was stroking his forehead. He saw a toothpick with a small piece of tiramisu cake sticking out in front of him. When he looked up again, it was Lu Mingfei's face.

"The cakes in this dessert shop are quite delicious. They are much better than those sold in Open Mind next to Shilan Middle School, and the prices are about the same." Lu Mingfei poured out a lot of words, "I brought a piece especially for you, try it." Try it?

What to taste?
This tiramisu cake?

Su Xiaoqiang looked at the piece of tiramisu that was less than ten centimeters away from his mouth and smelled the sweet scent wafting towards him. The CPU in his brain began to burn.

What does he mean? Should I take it and eat it myself, or should I ask him to feed me directly?

I should be the one to take it and eat it myself. After all, he and I are just ordinary netizens and our relationship is not that close.

But if he wanted me to take it myself, why did he hand it so close to me, right next to my mouth?

Ahhh, I hate boys who have no sense of boundaries!
Su Xiaoqiang was thinking so much in her mind that she forgot that she was actually a girl without a sense of boundaries.

As if possessed by a ghost, Su Xiaoqiang lowered his head, took a gulp, and swallowed the piece of tiramisu cake next to his lips.

As the light and sweet taste slowly spread on the tip of his tongue, Su Xiaoqiang, with his ears slightly red, carefully savored the flavor of this small piece of tiramisu.

Well, it’s really good. The taste is better than many private dessert shops I’ve been to. This guy has pretty good taste.

Su Xiaoqiang thought in a distracting way.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He just wanted to pass the tiramisu to Su Xiaoqiang, but he didn't expect the other party to eat it directly.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't mind Su Xiaoqiang's behavior and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Just barely enough." Su Xiaoqiang answered somewhat arrogantly.

At the same time, on the other side of the atrium corridor.

Liu Miaomiao held Qiao Yiran's hand and walked with him, talking and laughing.

"Miao Miao, your foot just got a little better yesterday. Is it really okay to ask me to go shopping with you today?"

"I told you it's fine. Dad asked the doctor to check it out. It was just a minor soft tissue contusion. It fully recovered yesterday."

Liu Miaomiao smiled and waved her hands. "The doctor also said that thanks to the emergency treatment at the time, the sprain recovered so quickly."

"Hmph, Lu Mingfei is lucky to have some common sense. He knows that he can't walk after spraining his ankle and should use a bandage to fix it immediately." Qiao Yiran snorted.

"By the way, Miaomiao."

Qiao Yiran seemed to remember something and clasped her hands together gently in front of her chest. "The delicious dessert shop that I mentioned, Ocean Classic, seems to be nearby. Should we go eat something and take a rest before continuing our shopping?"

"Okay, okay, where is it?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be across the street."

Qiao Yiran looked across the wide atrium and gazed towards the shops opposite.

"It's right opposite us, the No Name dessert shop, look." Qiao Yiran stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction.

However, as soon as he stretched out his finger, Qiao Yiran was stunned, and then his expression became strange.

However, Liu Miaomiao did not notice the change in Qiao Yiran's expression at all. She looked in the direction of Qiao Yiran's finger and asked, "Where is it?"

Then, the smile on Liu Miaomiao's face froze, like a ball of fire that was suddenly thrown into an ice cellar at absolute zero and frozen solid.

In front of the dessert shop, Lu Mingfei was personally feeding cake to a beautiful girl whom Liu Miaomiao had never seen before.

Lu Mingfei looked happy and confident, the girl blushed slightly, and there was laughter and joy all around them.

But all the laughter and joy belonged only to the other side of the atrium. Liu Miaomiao at this end only felt that the surrounding environment suddenly lost its sound, and suddenly she could not hear anything, as if someone had pressed the mute button on her brain.
