Chapter 55 Lottery Ticket Purchase
"what?"

Lu Mingfei blinked.

"That's it?"

Qiao Yiran was stunned. Something was wrong. Why was Lu Mingfei's reaction different from what she had imagined?
In his imagination, if a pure-hearted boy like Lu Mingfei was asked to feed Miaomiao, he should not immediately refuse with a red face and shouting.

Then, under all kinds of pressure from me, I reluctantly picked up the spoon and fed Miaomiao the cake?
Why is Lu Mingfei so calm?

I know, this guy must be pretending, but he must be in a state of panic inside! Qiao Yiran was sure.

She didn't believe that any boy could be so calm when facing Miaomiao.

"That's it. What? Do you think the punishment is too light?"

It’s actually much lighter than I thought... Lu Mingfei thought.

But think about it, it's only 2006, Qiao Yiran, Liu Miaomiao and the others are still little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old.

For boys and girls of this age, the hardest thing they do every day is studying, the most tiring thing they do is walking from home to school with a backpack weighing more than ten kilograms, and the most exciting thing they have ever done is stuffing love letters into the desks of the opposite sex they like.

Many troubles are still far away from them.

In their eyes, feeding cake to the opposite sex may be an exciting and immoral act.

However, Lu Mingfei can be considered a man who has seen a lot of ups and downs. Although he has never had a serious relationship, he has had many ambiguous contacts with girls.

He had hugged Nuonuo in bikini in Sanxia, ​​touched Ling's thigh in Neon, played sword dance with Liu Miaomiao in Nibelungen, and even worked as a gigolo in Takamagahara for a few months. Although his performance was not good, he still learned some serious skills.

"I can..." Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Miaomiao, "But this is not good for Liu Miaomiao."

Liu Miaomiao originally wanted to refuse, but Qiao Yiran grabbed Liu Miaomiao's arm and said, "Haha, as long as you are not afraid, we will not be scared, right, Miaomiao?"

"me……"

Liu Miaomiao was so confused by her bestie's help that she didn't know what to do. Before she could answer, Qiao Yiran accepted it for her: "Miaomiao has already agreed!"

But I don't think Liu Miaomiao agrees at all...

"Okay, I'll feed you."

Lu Mingfei moved the piece of tiramisu that Liu Miaomiao was eating on the table in front of him to a position closer to himself, then picked up the fork and spoon, gently scooped out a corner of the cake, and reached out to feed it to Liu Miaomiao about five centimeters in front of her mouth.

Huh? Really?
Liu Miaomiao looked at the cake in front of her, then looked at Lu Mingfei's serious expression. Her heart was pounding and her face was so red she didn't know how red it was.

Forget it, forget it!

Liu Miaomiao suddenly closed her eyes and lowered her head.

The wonderful taste slowly melted on the tip of my tongue. It was so strange. I had already eaten this cake before, but why did it feel sweeter now?
I kind of want to eat another bite...

However, despite thinking about it, the shy Liu Miaomiao still didn't dare to express her thoughts.

Qiao Yiran proposed this punishment originally because she wanted to tease Lu Mingfei and see how he would react, but she didn't expect that it would make her best friend's face burn so much that it almost melted.

Miaomiao is so defensive. When she is no longer in Shilan Middle School, won’t she be unable to escape Lu Mingfei’s clutches?

Although she didn't mind Lu Mingfei dating her best friend, she hoped Miaomiao could maintain her own individuality in the relationship and not obey Lu Mingfei's every word like she did today.

Thinking about the three full years of high school, Qiao Yiran became a little worried about her best friend.

I can only hope that she and Lu Mingfei won’t be assigned to the same class, alas.

……

After the episode of feeding cake, the relationship between the few people gradually became familiar with each other. Although the three girls were not very familiar with each other and had different interests and hobbies, once they started talking about luxury brands, it was like they had opened a box of conversation and couldn't stop.

From limited edition bags to expensive cosmetics to the autumn fashion colors of Paris Fashion Week, all of them were topics that Lu Mingfei couldn't understand. They even excitedly exchanged QQ numbers.

However, Lu Mingfei, who had a short break, was happy with this situation.

At least I don’t have to be the focus of attention of a few girls anymore.

The topic changed from one to another. Lu Mingfei offered Su Xiaoqiang a piece of Margarite biscuit. While eating, he suddenly heard a few people talking about a Hermès bag that was not available in mainland China and could only be ordered at the counter in Hong Kong Landmark Plaza. Su Xiaoqiang said that he was going to Hong Kong in August.

Lu Mingfei's ears moved, and he keenly caught these words.

"Are you going to Hong Kong in August?" Lu Mingfei asked Su Xiaoqiang.

"Yes." Su Xiaoqiang said, "Chenglong's new movie "Baby Project" is going to have its premiere, and my dad is one of the small investors in the movie. He is going to attend the party, so I went with him. What do you want me to buy for you?"

"Fuck, is Cheng Long the Cheng Long I was thinking of?"

"What else? Who else is there in China besides him?" Su Xiaoqiang was very proud. When Lu Mingfei was in high school, he heard that Su Xiaoqiang's father seemed to be a coal boss and his family owned a mine.

I heard that coal bosses love to invest in movies and TV series. I didn’t expect it to be true?
"What do you want me to buy for you? Tell me."

Many digital products in Hong Kong are cheaper than those in the mainland. Su Xiaoqiang guessed that Lu Mingfei wanted him to help bring back a parallel-imported mobile phone or something.

"I do have something I want you to buy, but it's not a commodity."

"If it's not a commodity, then what is it?"

"Sports Lottery."

"Sports lottery?" Su Xiaoqiang thought for a while, "You want to buy the World Cup? But didn't the World Cup just end? And aren't sports lottery tickets sold in mainland China? Why do you have to go to Hong Kong to buy them?"

"The sports lottery I want to buy is not available in the mainland yet." Lu Mingfei explained.

What he wanted Su Xiaoqiang to buy for him was actually the e-sports lottery.

Although e-sports was listed as the 2003th official sport by relevant departments in 99, due to the relatively backward development of domestic e-sports events, there is no related e-sports lottery in the mainland.

But Hong Kong is different. As an international metropolis, Hong Kong has always been more receptive to new things and also has regular e-sports betting for sale.

The 2006 WCG China Qualifiers are approaching, and Lu Mingfei has checked online and found that the official lottery agency in Hong Kong currently has relevant lottery projects for the WCG China region.

Lu Mingfei, who planned to use e-sports as his first pot of gold to make a fortune, was worried about not being able to find a way to Hong Kong Island, when he suddenly heard Su Xiaoqiang say that she was going to Hong Kong Island in August. Isn't this a coincidence?
“Sports lottery for e-sports?”

The three girls asked in unison.

"Yes, I'll have to trouble Su Xiaoqiang to help me buy it when the time comes."

Su Xiaoqiang narrowed her eyes and was a little curious. She only knew that there were all kinds of games on computers, but she had never heard of competitions for these games.

"Is it reliable?" Liu Miaomiao was a little worried. She knew that Lu Mingfei didn't have much pocket money. "What if I lose?"

“Don’t be afraid, if I lose I’ll just consider it as a contribution to CN eSports.”

Lu Mingfei thought how could he lose? It was hard to say about other events, but he remembered the results of the interstellar event by heart.

"Then aren't you afraid that after you win the money, I will run away with it?" Su Xiaoqiang turned his head and asked.

"No, I believe you."

He knew that Su Xiaoqiang was wealthy and not a money-grubber. She might not be interested in his little stuff.

"Okay, I'll do it for you because of your trust. Contact me on QQ and I'll teach you how to buy it."

"Okok." Lu Mingfei made a gesture.

After the chat, Su Xiaoqiang looked at his watch and stood up from his seat.

"It's almost twelve o'clock. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to leave first. Lu Mingfei, are you going back with me or with them?"

Lu Mingfei originally thought that since he had nothing to do and would be alone with his cousin Lu Mingze if he went back, he might as well stay and hang out with Liu Miaomiao and the others.

As a result, Qiao Yiran also pulled Liu Miaomiao up and said, "What a coincidence. We also have something to do this afternoon. So, shall we go home first? We can chat on QQ later."

Su Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying goodbye to each other, Qiao Yiran took Liu Miaomiao away first. When they left, they heard Liu Miaomiao's soft voice:

"Yiran, what do we have to do this afternoon?"

"Don't worry about it. Also, be more individual in front of Lu Mingfei in the future and don't always give in to him..."

Listening to Qiao Yiran's words, Lu Mingfei thought that this was helping Liu Miaomiao to guard against me.

But he also felt that the little girl was a little too obedient to him.

……

　Question about the timeline.

　　There are two timelines in the original novel: in 2004, when Lu Mingfei was in the third year of junior high school, Typhoon Dandelion landed; and in 2005, when Lu Mingfei was in the first year of high school, Typhoon Dandelion landed.

　　Both timelines conflict with Lu Mingfei's graduation from high school in 2009.

　　Although the author wanted to follow the 2004 line at the beginning, the more I wrote, the more I felt that the timeline was disordered, which affected my creation. Even the ages of several characters were difficult to write (Liu Miaomiao was only 2004 years old in 13...)
　　Therefore, starting from this chapter, the timeline of this book is uniformly corrected to 2006 when Typhoon Dandelion landed and Lu Mingfei was in the third year of junior high school. This is in line with the setting that Lu Mingfei graduated from the third year of high school in 2009.

　　Because too many changes are made at one time, the book will be blocked. The previous time points will be changed slowly over several days. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
