Chapter 930 The City Where You Lived (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)
"Ask them first if they are home." Chu Zihang said, "If they are not, you can go to my house first and stay for a few days. You can also leave your luggage at my house."
He said this with a calm expression while accelerating the car to 100 yards. This was probably the leisure time a young master had.
Lu Mingfei finally understood why Chu Zihang had topped the list of "This Beast Should Be Killed" for many years when he was in school. Just imagine, when a handsome boy drives fast and tells you calmly that you can come to his place if you have nowhere to go, and everything will be arranged for you... With such a big villa, it is no problem for two more people to live in it and put a few more suitcases.
Listening to the roar of the engine of a million-dollar luxury car, the traffic and the outline of the city rapidly recede in your peripheral vision, your adrenaline soars, and the handsome face next to you makes you feel at ease... Who can not be moved by such a man?
Lu Mingfei thought to herself that if she were a girl, she would definitely fall in love with a man like this!
So Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Eri... However, Eri just turned her head to look at this rapidly developing coastal city. She looked at the high-rise buildings that had been built in recent years and the distant city skyline with excitement in her eyes. In her eyes, luxury cars, villas and cold and handsome men were not even as interesting as the scenery outside the window.
Well, there are exceptions, at least Eri is immune to such men.
On the way home, Lu Mingfei pointed out the window and introduced to Eri the city where he had lived since he was a child.
"Over there, the area with tall buildings and lots of cars, that's the CBD area of the city, or the economic development area. Young people with promising futures all work there, and rich people all buy houses there... Of course, it's not as good as a world-class metropolis like Tokyo, but the night view is pretty good. I used to like sitting on the rooftop and staring at the lights of the CBD area."
"On the other side, there is the old city, which used to be the center of the city. The old and new city are separated by the river in the middle. The housing prices are several times more expensive than the CBD area, but it was not allocated to the development area later... Of course, it is not backward, but there are not as many high-rise buildings as the CBD area. But it has a lively atmosphere, many newsstands, and vendors selling sweet potatoes and gardenias in the evening. I don't know if they are still there this year. I grew up here because my aunt lives in the old city area. I heard that a subway line will be connected to the old city area next year."
"See that not-too-tall building? The Regent Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in our city. Whenever the richest people in Shilan Middle School have a big event, they will host a banquet at the Regent Hotel. When Kassel College came to recruit students, they interviewed at the Regent Hotel... But I heard that two four-star hotels are going to be built in the CBD area. By then, the Regent Hotel will probably not be able to get a seat."
Lu Mingfei pointed at the areas and buildings outside the window. The bustling city was divided into old and new areas by a long river under the viaduct. For the vast majority of people living in this city, this place is half yearning and half memories... Childhood was spent amid the hawking of vendors and the aroma of roasted chestnuts. When a child called you to go out to play, he would stand downstairs and shout your name at the top of his voice. Those memories were simple and precious, but everyone living here yearned for the place with tall buildings. They had lived in the old neighborhoods covered by tree shades for too long. They wanted to live in super high-rise buildings on the 7th floor to experience the feeling of overlooking half of the city, with a 11-hour - convenience store and an all-night bar and discos downstairs.
"The city where Sakura lives." Eri looked at the face of the land.
"If you don't use a subjective filter, it's actually a very ordinary city, just like most of the developing cities in China, with no mountains or rivers, not particularly prosperous but not too backward either. The only feature is probably that it's on the coast." Lu Mingfei added, "But it can't be compared with super-large coastal cities like Tokyo and Shanghai. There are no super-large cruise ships in Tokyo Bay and no light shows on the Bund. It's just that I've lived here for a long time."
"This city is beautiful." Eri suddenly said softly.
"Yes, this city is beautiful, at least in my memory, because I used to think that the world was only this big." Lu Mingfei was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked Eri, "Why do you think this city is beautiful?"
"Because there are a lot of people here." Eri said seriously, "Unlike Tokyo, the people here are like part of this city."
Eri looked out the window and saw a shopping mall from the perspective of the viaduct.
In Lu Mingfei's impression, this shopping mall has been open for a long time. It was very popular when it first opened when he was a child. Now, compared with those super-large commercial buildings with neon screens hanging in the CBD, it even looks a bit shabby. The posters of Anta and Metersbonwe posted above the mall have turned yellow, and the popularity here is no longer as high as before.
Lu Mingfei noticed Eri's gaze. A couple walked out of the mall with their child. The father was holding several shopping bags, none of which were of big brands. But each of them was wearing new clothes, the mother was wearing a silk scarf with the tag still on it, and the child was holding a Kabuda toy in his hand... They were all smiling, and their smiles were so happy and satisfied.
Lu Mingfei suddenly understood. Seeing this picture, he finally understood what Eri said... There are many people in this city, and the people here are like a part of this city.
Tokyo is big and beautiful, with bright lights, bustling nights and tall buildings, like a prosperous heaven. But most of the people there are tourists and people looking for work. Some of them will leave soon, while others will go home when they find they can't find a way to make a living. The people in that city are more curious and demanding about that city.
But the people who live here are different, they have real feelings for this city. This is the home of many people, their roots are here... Just like Eri said, those people are part of this city, it is a sense of security and belonging.
Lu Mingfei smiled knowingly. Oftentimes, Eiry gave people the impression of a child who knew nothing, but in fact, no one had ever truly entered this girl’s inner world… Her inner world was actually very rich, and her perception of this world was actually purer and deeper than that of most people.
Chu Zihang drove very aggressively, but he remained very quiet. He listened to the conversation between Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi in the back seat the whole time without saying a word.
This was the first time Chu Zihang felt that it would be nice if Xia Mi was around.
About half an hour later, Chu Zihang's car stopped at the gate of an old community. This was the home of Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt. It would normally take about fifty minutes to get here from the airport, but Chu Zihang arrived in just over half an hour. Many drivers on the road should have seen it today, a royal blue Porsche Panamera speeding like a racing car on the city road.
"Brother, you are really awesome." Lu Mingfei pushed open the car door and couldn't help but blurt out a fierce remark, "You won't get a ticket, will you?"
"No, there will be no fine if you exceed the speed limit by less than 20%. I pay attention to every surveillance camera on the road, and my speed is below the standard line." Chu Zihang said in a serious tone.
"Would you like to come up and sit down?" Lu Mingfei invited.
"No need..." Before Chu Zihang could finish his words, two figures walked quickly out of the community.
"Look, look, I told you it was Ming Fei and his friends, but you insisted it wasn't." A familiar female voice came. "Because this car looks unfamiliar, I was wondering why there was such a beautiful Panamera in our neighborhood." The man came to the driver's seat and took a look. "It's really classmate Chu. I remember your family drove a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, right?"
The visitors were naturally Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt. Chu Zihang had come here several times when he was in high school, so they were quite familiar with Chu Zihang.
"This is the new car my father bought two years ago, and he rarely uses it." Chu Zihang explained.
"Oh, one is for business occasions, and the other is for daily life, right?" The uncle looked at the shiny paint of the Porsche, with envy visible in his eyes, "It's great to be rich. You can drive luxury cars one after another."
"Oh my, Eri is here too." Auntie greeted Eri enthusiastically when she saw her getting off the back seat. "Is this your first time in China? You must be tired after flying all the way from the United States?"
"Not tired." Eiry shook her head. She seemed not used to her aunt's enthusiasm. It could be seen that she was a little flattered.
“I already told you, uncle and aunt, you don’t have to come down to pick me up.” Lu Mingfei said, “Eri and I are here to visit you, you just need to wait at home.”
"You're still talking about that. You sent a message after the plane had landed. What if your uncle and I aren't home? It's not that I don't want you to go home, but this is too sudden." Auntie complained. "Besides, this is Eri's first time here. She's a guest. How can we let a guest come to our house by himself?"
"What are you talking about? What's the point of being a guest or not? Mingfei and Eri are married, so they are a family." The uncle corrected her, "Eri is going back to her own home."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. We are a family." Aunt also nodded. "But after all, this is the first time Eri comes to our house. She is so warmly entertained in her Japanese home. We should not neglect the etiquette, right?"
"Eri is very easy-going, there aren't so many rules. Uncle and aunt, just treat her as a normal niece-in-law." Lu Mingfei said with some embarrassment. He suddenly seemed to remember something and took out the luggage from the trunk. "Oh, by the way, there are also gifts for uncle and aunt."
"It's enough that you just come. Why do you need to bring stuff?" The uncle complained while excitedly taking the suitcase from Lu Mingfei. "Oh, a Prada suitcase? Why are you sending something so expensive?"
"That's my box..." Lu Mingfei said weakly, "The things for you are in the box."
When I opened the box, I found that there were quite a lot of things inside. This box was specifically filled with gifts for my uncle and aunt's family.
An IWC pilot watch, Ocean model, for my uncle; a Dior perfume and women's bag, for my aunt; an Alienware laptop, for Lu Mingze; and a bottle of Latour red wine, for my aunt's family.
“This is too expensive. Mingfei and you are still students. It’s too expensive to give you these things!” The uncle frowned, but he couldn’t hide the light in his eyes for the famous watches.
"Since this is Eri's first visit, I should buy some things for her. Besides, I help the school and my tutor with their projects, so I get a salary and scholarship, so it's not too expensive." Lu Mingfei said while holding Eri's hand, "Eri and I picked these things together."
"Mingfei is still so filial. I wish your brother was half as sensible as you!" Aunt praised sincerely, then turned around and changed her expression. She shouted to the building in the community, "Mingze, please walk faster. Your brother brought you a gift. Do you want it? Really, after returning to China, you sleep until the afternoon every day. You have a really bad schedule!"
The figure of a fat boy in pajamas appeared at the door of the apartment building. He was wearing a pair of shark slippers and walked here lazily. When he saw a royal blue Panamera and Chu Zihang, his eyes suddenly lit up. When he saw the silver laptop in his aunt's hand, he couldn't help but swear and quickly quickened his pace.
"Damn, a new model from aliens!" Lu Mingze picked up the laptop computer in his arms like a wild boar pouncing on its food, rubbing the delicate texture on the back panel of the computer with his fingertips.
"I've told you not to swear, but you just don't learn your lesson!" Auntie glared at him fiercely, "Why don't you thank your brother and sister?"
"Thank you, brother, thank you, sister-in-law!" The little fat boy's thanks were sincere.
Lu Mingfei nodded with satisfaction. Although the gift was a bit expensive, it was worth it for the boy to call her "sister-in-law" sincerely.
"Uncle and aunt, I'll take my leave first." Chu Zihang greeted everyone.
"Hey, Chu, now that you're here, why not have a meal before leaving?" Aunt invited.
"Yes, it's almost time for lunch, let's go up and have a meal before leaving. We are all familiar with the place and we are not strangers." The uncle also invited warmly, "It's just that the parking spaces in the community are a bit tight, and your car is a bit big, how about I move my BMW and you can squeeze in with me?"
"No need, Mom and Aunt Tong are still waiting at home." Chu Zihang declined the kindness of his uncle and aunt, "I'll come visit you next time I have the chance."
Chu Zihang was as decisive as ever. After exchanging a glance with Lu Mingfei, he got into the car, put on his sunglasses, and drove away while turning the steering wheel.
Before leaving, Lu Mingze took a photo of Chu Zihang wearing sunglasses and flipping a plate with one hand, and exclaimed with admiration: "What a style!"
"One day, I will be the man who can drive a Porsche with one hand." The uncle couldn't help but sigh as he watched the beautiful car disappear from his sight.
"Before that, we must first become a family with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms." Aunt added, she looked at Lu Mingfei and Eri, "Don't stand downstairs all the time, hurry upstairs."
