Chapter 9 Graduation Photo Incident
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly saw the image of Xia Mi sitting on the roof of the Maybach, gently rocking her feet.

He felt that he should have seen Xia Mi that day, but he was not sure.

Because when he rubbed his eyes and looked at the roof of the Maybach, there was nothing there, only a vast expanse of white rain flowers.

Why did Xia Mi appear in that Nibelungen?

Could it be that she appeared there specifically to save her boyfriend?
But at this point in time, Xiao Longnu and the paralyzed senior brother should not know each other yet.

"Liu Miaomiao, what... do you want to talk to Senior Brother Chu about?" Lu Mingfei asked knowingly, no longer thinking about what he saw Xia Mi that day.

Liu Miaomiao suddenly clenched her fists on the hem of her skirt at her knees and looked nervous.

She hadn't thought of a suitable excuse yet, she just simply wanted to get closer to Chu Zihang through Lu Mingfei.

But in middle school, when a girl paid too much attention to a boy, everyone around her could actually see how the girl felt about the boy.

Only the person involved will feel that he has concealed the truth very well and ingeniously.

Liu Miaomiao didn’t know that Lu Mingfei knew that she liked Chu Zihang. She was still worried about how to get Lu Mingfei to help her without letting him know her feelings.

The love in youth was pure, as pure as the clean paper in the diary where the poem was written;
The love in youth is also lonely. You are so lonely that you can only share your sorrow and joy today with your yesterday or tomorrow self in a diary.

Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Miaomiao's appearance and sighed in his heart.

Fifteen-year-old Liu Miaomiao is still fifteen years old after all, and her mood is all written on her expression.

"It must be about the first-year high school entrance exam, right?"

Lu Mingfei took the initiative to help Liu Miaomiao make up a reason.
"Because Senior Brother Chu has good grades, I want to learn from him."

In fact, who would worry about the entrance exam? Shilan Middle School advocates quality education, and students will be randomly assigned to different classes. The results of the entrance exam only affect the order of the student numbers.

Otherwise, how could Lu Mingfei, who was struggling to get into undergraduate school, be assigned to the same class with Zhao Menghua, who was first in his grade, and Su Xiaoqiang, who was second in his grade?
Liu Miaomiao obviously didn't realize that this was the step that Lu Mingfei took the initiative to find for her, but she still reacted very quickly and walked down the step:

"I was planning to consult Senior Brother Chu about the entrance exam... I let you guess it."

"So..." Liu Miaomiao blinked, "Do you want to join our group?"

"Let me make it clear first, you can't use me as a handyman!"

Lu Mingfei raised his hands in surrender and said a little arrogantly:

"Even if your group is full of beauties, I still have dignity!"

"Hehe, then I'll take that as your consent."

Just at this moment, the head teacher walked into the classroom, clapped his hands, and notified everyone to gather in the playground to take graduation photos.

"Let's go, Lu Mingfei, it's time to go downstairs and take a group photo."

Liu Miaomiao stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on her pleated skirt. Lu Mingfei followed behind Liu Miaomiao.

……

The steps for taking graduation photos were built on the playground, with the background being blue sky, white clouds, and the Shilan Middle School flag fluttering in the wind.

Before everyone arrived, Lu Mingfei tactfully stood at the edge of the fourth row.

There are only twenty-five people in Lu Mingfei's class, which is the standard configuration for aristocratic schools.

High-end schools all have small classes, so even group photos appear very deserted.

The teacher sits in the first row, the girls stand in the second row, and the boys stand in the third and fourth rows.

As for whether to stand in the middle or on the edge, except for those who are particularly tall or short, it is basically determined by one's status in the class.

For example, Liu Miaomiao stood in the middle of the girls' row, while Lu Mingfei could only stand at the edge of the fourth row.

"Lu Mingfei, what are you doing standing there?"

Just as Lu Mingfei stood firm, Liu Miaomiao's voice came from below him.

"I..." Lu Mingfei replied, "To take a group photo."

"You don't have to stand so far away to take a group photo."

Liu Miaomiao waved at Lu Mingfei and said, "Why don't you stand behind me, Lu Mingfei? There's no one behind me." The squad leader was eager to take the position behind Liu Miaomiao, but just as he took a step, he heard the cultural and entertainment committee member Liu Miaomiao give the position he had always dreamed of to the unlucky Lu Mingfei.

After being hurt for a while, he was even more shocked. His eyes moved back and forth between Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei, wondering when Lu Mingfei had hooked up with Liu Miaomiao.

And it was Liu Miaomiao who took the initiative to ask Lu Mingfei to stand behind her?

Not only the boys were shocked, the girls were also surprised. They thought, isn't Liu Miaomiao the type who likes cool and awesome things? She even has beagles and German Shepherds at home. Why is she suddenly so enthusiastic about the stray dog ​​Lu Mingfei?

Seeing Liu Miaomiao smiling and waving at him so warmly, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to go down the stairs and walk behind Liu Miaomiao.

Liu Miaomiao nodded and looked forward again.

When Lu Mingfei lowered his head, he saw the Hello Kitty hairpin on Liu Miaomiao's hair.

Suddenly a breeze blew by, blowing a few strands of Liu Miaomiao's hair towards Lu Mingfei. There was a faint fragrance, like the scent of some high-end shower gel or shampoo.

Countless gazes that wanted to kill him came from all around Lu Mingfei.

Ok.

Like a thorn in the back, like sitting on pins and needles, like a fishbone stuck in the throat.

It actually only took a dozen minutes from standing still to taking the group photo, but to Lu Mingfei it felt like a century had passed.

"Lu Mingfei, our group is going to have dinner together later, why don't you come too? We can go to the movies after dinner."

After taking the photo, Liu Miaomiao said.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand: "No...my aunt has already cooked my meal."

Actually it was fake. Today was a weekday and my uncle and aunt were not at home at all. Lu Mingze was also in class and he was the only one at home.

Just now, I was standing behind Liu Miaomiao to take a photo, and the gazes from the people next to me almost pierced my spine.

If he went to have dinner with her again, he would probably be put on the wanted list by Liu Miaomiao's followers throughout the school.

But these are actually not that bad. Lu Mingfei doesn't care what others think of him now. After all, he was used to the feeling of being watched when he was in Kassel Academy. He actually cares more about Liu Miaomiao.

It would be a bit troublesome if I go out to eat with her later and she asks me about her senior brother.

Lu Mingfei has somewhat picked up on Oreki Houtarou's energy-saving habit.

……

The monitor held the two movie tickets that he had sweated from holding, and remained silent as he watched Lu Mingfei reject Liu Miaomiao's invitation.

He is one of the earliest members of Liu Miaomiao's fan club and a loyal supporter of Liu Miaomiao. He fell in love with her when he just entered the first grade of junior high school.

Which boy in the class doesn’t have a good impression of Liu Miaomiao?

Even when he took the initiative to apply to be the class monitor, it was just to have more work interactions with Liu Miaomiao, the cultural and entertainment committee member.

But he knew that there was a huge gap between him and Liu Miaomiao that could never be bridged.

This gap is not just one of family background, but a kind of "light".

Some people are born to be in the spotlight, while others can only squeeze into the background no matter how hard they try.

Moreover, many people in the class also know that the person Liu Miaomiao likes seems to be the legend of Shilan Middle School, Chu Zihang, who is one year older than them.

So he could only silently bury this love in his heart and wish Liu Miaomiao could get the happiness she wanted.

But no matter how humble the love is, there will always be a little hope.

For the class monitor, his small hope is to stand behind Liu Miaomiao when taking graduation photos.

If he could go one step further, he hoped to watch a movie with Liu Miaomiao again. Even if it was only once, his youth would be without regrets.

But no one knew what kind of luck Lu Mingfei had. It was clearly something he had been longing for, but Liu Miaomiao took the initiative to invite Lu Mingfei several times.

What’s even more abominable is that Lu Mingfei actually dared to reject Liu Miaomiao!
"This crime is extremely heinous... This beast must be killed!"

The monitor immediately took out his cell phone and angrily logged into the Shilan Middle School forum.
