Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 949: Returning to Shilan at Night (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao both looked at Su Xiaoqiang in surprise, as if no one had expected her to admit so directly that she had liked Lu Mingfei before, and in front of Eri.

However, Su Xiaoqiang's words were not at all offensive, nor would they make people think too much, because everyone could hear that she had no intention of snatching Lu Mingfei from Eri. She was just using this method to put a light end to her youth and the immature love of her teenage years.

"Lu... Lu Mingfei, Senior Brother Chu..." Liu Miaomiao seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just said softly, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang also waved towards the back seat of the blue Bentley.

The car windows were rolled up and it was still raining, so as to prevent rain from drifting into the car, the driver's driving skills were very steady. Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao were in perfect harmony. Neither of them said a word, but just watched the shadows gradually moving away in the rearview mirror. It was not until the red light turned green and the Bentley turned left at an intersection that they slowly withdrew their sight.

"Why don't you say it out loud?" Su Xiaoqiang asked Liu Miaomiao, "You want to say it out loud, right? Don't you think it's a pity?"

"Who do you want me to tell?" Liu Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "To Lu Mingfei? Or Senior Brother Chu?"

"That's true." Su Xiaoqiang rarely got into an argument with Liu Miaomiao after being asked back, but nodded in agreement, "Confessing to two people at once is too fickle, and they both have girlfriends. You are too shy to do such a thing."

"It's not about being thick-skinned or thin-skinned." Liu Miaomiao shook her head. "Su Xiaoqiang, not everyone is like you. Not everyone can make love and farewells so grand and spectacular. I'm actually a little envious of you because I've already used up all my energy and can only say goodbye."

"But you actually feel that it's not over, right? So you said goodbye." Su Xiaoqiang said softly, "I know your character. You are also a very stubborn person, especially when it comes to relationships. You don't want to confess, but you also leave yourself a little hope. You feel that it's not over until you say it out loud. Even if the other person has a girlfriend, you don't think it's a dead end. You said goodbye because you are looking forward to seeing each other again next time."

"No... I said that because I feel we will never see each other again." Liu Miaomiao's tone suddenly became very aggrieved, revealing an indescribable sadness.

"Why do you feel this way... Hey, hey, you're not going to cry, are you? What's there to cry about? Are you possessed by Chen Wenwen?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Liu Miaomiao's tearful expression and felt a little overwhelmed by her appearance.

"No, I didn't refuse to express my feelings because I thought I still had a chance... I said goodbye, but I felt I would never see you again." Liu Miaomiao's eyes were red and she actually cried.

"Why do you feel this way?" Su Xiaoqiang's heart moved when she saw Liu Miaomiao's expression. She asked in a low voice, "Didn't Lu Mingfei promise to come to the next class reunion? Although I don't know if he is reliable."

"I don't know, I don't know either, but I just feel that way... It's as if they and I are no longer from the same world." Liu Miaomiao's voice was filled with helplessness. "I felt this way when I first met them. I was very sad, as if, as if... I would never have the chance to meet them again."

Is that why she said "goodbye" instead of confessing her love? Su Xiaoqiang looked at Liu Miaomiao for a while, then turned her head away. She handed over a few pieces of paper, and Liu Miaomiao took them. Soft sobs were heard in the carriage.

Su Xiaoqiang looked outside the car. The lights in the CBD area were bright and dazzling. The skyscrapers reflected blurry and brilliant neon lights on the wet car windows, like a mirage.

Su Xiaoqiang felt a little sad for no reason because she also felt what Liu Miaomiao said.

Although he is one of the richest people in this city, Su Xiaoqiang also feels that he is drifting away from Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang. It’s not that their relationship has become distant, but that they have reached a parallel fork in the road.

There seemed to be an invisible door in their lives, but they didn't have it. They pushed it open and walked in, and their life trajectories would never intersect again.

……

"Liu Miaomiao didn't confess to you?" Lu Mingfei sighed to Chu Zihang.

"Why would she confess to me? Didn't she know that Xia Mi and I were together at the dinner table?" Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Mingfei. "If she really wanted to confess, I think she would be more likely to tell you."

“Not really.” Lu Mingfei shook his head and said in a serious tone, “Brother, you really don’t understand Liu Miaomiao.”

"Indeed." Chu Zihang nodded. He looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Do you know Liu Miaomiao well?"

"I understand... bullshit!" Lu Mingfei glanced at Eri, "Brother, you have learned bad things. What I mean is that you don't understand girls' minds at all. I am a little better than you in this aspect because I understand Eri. Eri is a girl, so there is nothing wrong with saying that I understand girls better."

"You mean, Xia Mi is not considered a girl?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I never said that, Senior Brother, but you weren't the one chasing Xia Mi back then. It was Xia Mi who got you, wasn't it?" Lu Mingfei said, "Oh, Senior Brother, if you really think you understand Liu Miaomiao better, then I admit defeat. I admit defeat. I don't understand Liu Miaomiao at all. You win... Really, why do you have such a manly desire to win in everything?"

Chu Zihang was speechless. He couldn't compete with Lu Mingfei in terms of trash talk, so he just shut up.

They were walking in the direction of Shilan Middle School. Actually, there was no special meaning in their agreement to meet at the gate of Shilan Middle School in the beginning, and there was no need to go back after meeting... However, after knowing that Shilan Middle School had established a foundation, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei felt that they had to go there. Lu Mingfei felt that this was a clue left for him by Su Enxi.

On the way, they tacitly did not talk about what they were going to do this time, but were more chatting about some family matters. Lu Mingfei said that his uncle and aunt's house had been renovated, and the furniture and doors had been replaced. It looks a lot newer now, but it always feels a little different from what he remembered.

Chu Zihang said that his house had not been renovated, but in addition to Aunt Tong, he hired a new nanny. Her surname is Gu, which is not a common surname. It is said that she used to work in the medical field and has a lot of experience in taking care of people. His father hired her to take care of his mother. His mother's insomnia has been a bit severe during this period, and her mental state is not very good.

"But when I went home today, my mother seemed very happy." Chu Zihang said, "She even cooked several dishes herself."

"Aunt Xiaoyan... can she cook?" Lu Mingfei's expression was a little strange. He even suspected that there was something wrong with his mental state. How could Chu Zihang's mother... that stupid beauty who could do nothing but dance, cook?
"It is said that he has been trying to quit drinking recently. He is bored because he can't find anything to do, so he learns to cook from Aunt Tong and Sister Gu." Chu Zihang said, "He has learned a few dishes, but the taste... is definitely not comparable to Aunt Tong's."

Chu Zihang remembered the anticipation in his mother's eyes when she brought those dishes that were not very appetizing in appearance, aroma and taste to him. Chu Zihang did not want to disappoint his mother's kindness, so he ate them all... It's not that they were hard to swallow, but if he sold them in the school cafeteria, he would definitely not make a penny.

But Chu Zihang was still quite relieved, because learning to cook is much better than drinking alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol is very harmful to the body, but no matter how bad the rice tastes, the ingredients together will not be poisonous. Chu Zihang was surprised and happy about his mother's change.

However, regarding his mother's insomnia, Chu Zihang specifically asked the lady surnamed Gu hired by his father. It was said that it was due to neurasthenia, which is some kind of unexplained anxiety disorder. The degree did not seem to be too serious. She could recover slowly by adjusting her lifestyle habits and taking medication.

However, Chu Zihang specifically instructed that if non-addictive drugs can be used as little as possible, they should be used as little as possible. After all, sometimes the harm caused by drugs to the body is more serious than the torture of illness.

The lady surnamed Gu nodded and agreed, without refuting Chu Zihang from a medical professional perspective. Chu Zihang didn't know whether this was considered easy to talk to or what. He had an appointment with Lu Mingfei and didn't stay at home for long, so he didn't have a chance to communicate much with Miss Gu.

"Oh, that's good. Insomnia is quite annoying...but I remember Aunt Xiaoyan has been suffering from insomnia for a long time?" Lu Mingfei nodded. He inexplicably felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Well... it was a long time ago, and it got better later." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "Later, she played with her friends day and night. I can't say whether it was insomnia or staying up late, but every night I would remind her to drink a cup of hot milk, which can relieve insomnia and nourish the stomach."

"Senior Brother, you are indeed very thoughtful..." Lu Mingfei said this as they arrived at Shilan Middle School.

The rain was getting a little heavy. Today was a day off and the school was closed after the school anniversary. Logically, there was no one in the school, so the lights were not on. The new gate that looked like the Pantheon was quiet in the night, like a taciturn giant.

"Climb over the wall or how else?" Lu Mingfei glanced at the wall that had been raised by more than a meter. "But I heard that the new walls of the school are connected to high voltage electricity. I just checked and there are quite a lot of surveillance cameras. Surveillance is not a big problem. I just don't know if it is powered on now."

Eiry walked straight to the school gate but was stopped by Lu Mingfei.

"Eri, what are you doing?" Lu Mingfei's face changed.

"Sakura, you want to go in? I'll go open the door for you." Eri pointed to the complicated electronic lock on the door.

That thing is definitely a barrier for ordinary people, and even experienced thieves would have a headache with it, but it is no problem for Eri... As long as she wants, she can twist the iron door into a knot.

“Okay, okay, Eri, we’re here to secretly investigate something, we’re not terrorists.” Lu Mingfei held Eri’s hand and advised her not to be impulsive, “Don’t destroy things, or you’ll hear the humming sound soon.”

"What is Wulwulwu?" Eri asked curiously.

"It was the sound of the police car sirens here." After Chu Zihang explained, he walked straight to the school gate.

"Brother, what are you doing now!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly used his other hand to pull Chu Zihang. He knew that Chu Zihang also had the ability to easily destroy the school gate. "Jun Yan" was more useful than explosives and was basically an incinerator for hard steel.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to cause any trouble." Chu Zihang said as he took something out of his chest pocket. He showed it in front of Lu Mingfei. It was a magnetic card.

"The school access card?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. "Where did you get it from, Senior Brother?"

"When I came out of the banquet hall, I said goodbye to the principal." Chu Zihang said lightly.

Lu Mingfei remembered that at the end of the banquet, the principal wanted to hug him and Chu Zihang, but Lu Mingfei declined. However, Chu Zihang hugged the principal gently. At that time, Lu Mingfei thought that Chu Zihang had changed his personality, but he didn't expect that this guy had ulterior motives.

“So that’s when you stole it… and took it?” Lu Mingfei said with some surprise, “Not bad, Senior Brother, you’ve even learned this skill.”

"It's borrowed. I'll return it to the principal's office later." Chu Zihang said lightly. He walked towards the school gate and put the access card on the sensor.

There was a beeping sound...it wasn't the system that had responded, but the gate of the school was swiped open.

Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi walked quickly through the gate. The alarm did not sound and no security guard came to stop them. The security booth seemed to be empty. I don’t know if they had gone off work, but normally there should be someone guarding the school gate 24 hours a day.

The three men didn't look like three thieves, but rather like three leaders of the night vision campus, walking across the playground in a swaggering manner... Unlike the plastic track with peeling paint in his memory, the current Shilan Middle School has changed a lot, but Chu Zihang can still vaguely remember the appearance of the man who always smiled and came to pick him up when he crossed the lawn in the past.

Right in front of the playground are the two mythical beasts... two statues modeled after Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, one holding a globe and the other holding a triangle ruler, looking a bit eerie in the empty and dark campus.

The more than ten-story foundation building casts a huge black shadow, which looks creepy. No wonder most of the urban ghost stories happen on campus. The atmosphere in school at night is really creepy.

However, each of the three men was braver than the other. The strange atmosphere could not scare them. Even if a ghost really jumped out from somewhere, they would probably be more curious than afraid.

The door of the foundation building was locked. Chu Zihang stuck the magnetic card on it, but there was no sound or movement, and the door showed no sign of opening.

"Only fingerprint and password recognition are allowed." Chu Zihang said, looking at the style of the combination lock.
