Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Hui Liyi really likes the commercial street in the middle of Changjiang Road. Lu Mingfei remembers that before the high-rise buildings in CBD rose from the ground, this place was a pedestrian street with many dessert shops and snack bars on both sides of the street. Now the colorful old flagstones have been opened and paved with frosted marble tiles, but the dessert shops along the street are still the same dessert shops. When you walk in, you can smell the sweet and warm fragrance of the small bread being baked. At a glance, the flag-like signs are fluttering in the wind. Hui Liyi hugs Lu Mingfei's arm tightly, with a gleam in her eyes.

Lu Mingfei knew that there were still many elderly people in this country who stubbornly disliked winter. They had experienced the era of material scarcity, so they still felt that everyone was frozen in winter. Even when they breathed, tiny icicles would enter their lungs with the air, and the cold air would spread throughout their bodies from the inside out, cooling their hearts. But he was a young man full of vitality from head to toe. Young people should like the snowy winter. In such a season, even couples who were still ambiguous could naturally snuggle together and gradually become real lovers.

When the Rolls-Royce Phantom borrowed from Su Xiaoqiang was parked in the parking lot outside the commercial street, there was still goose feather-like snow falling from the sky. At this time, people busy with their own livelihoods would of course eagerly take to the streets to return to the track they should be on today, but the commercial street seemed quite deserted. When two people hid under the same big umbrella, under the eaves and walked under the fluttering flags, looking to the end of the street, it seemed that they could only see snow all over the world, with messy black tire tracks carved in the snow.

Christmas had just passed and most of the businesses on this street had not yet moved the two small Christmas trees outside their doorways. The colorful lights hanging on the treetops were still glowing with difficulty. Although they had become very dim because so much time had passed, they still added a lot of brilliance to this white world.

Eiry pulled Lu Mingfei and trotted to the glass window of the pastry shop to look inside. In the window were osmanthus cakes, white magnolia cakes, mochi of various flavors, and ice taro balls packed in exquisite little boxes. The sweet fragrance seeped into the wind from all directions, carefully teasing the little monster's sense of smell.

"Buy it for me." Eiry looked up at Lu Mingfei's eyes, her pupils sparkling with joy.

Lu Mingfei pulled his neck into his scarf, not wanting to expose even his chin to the air. He also carefully looked into Eiry's eyes and nodded in response.

Lu Mingfei's feeling of realizing that there was a king hidden behind those gentle and innocent wine-red eyes was definitely not a misjudgment. He had faced many dragon king-level creatures, but none of them could bring him more oppression than that of Eri, whose eyes shone with a spring breeze after she clenched her long legs and became aroused. It was at that moment when she was completely defenseless and had even made up her mind to give herself up completely that the will of the White King revived in the girl's soul.

Although it was only for a moment, it still extinguished the raging fire in Lu Mingfei's heart.

After receiving Lu Mingfei's affirmative answer, Eiry happily rubbed the man's shoulder with her fair little face, like a cat that had been rewarded with dried fish by its owner.

In fact, in Tokyo, Eri had eaten almost all the desserts that could be named in the world, whether it was the heads of the families who used her as a weapon, Gen Chisei who treated her as a sister, or Herzog who hid in the shadows and wanted to use Eri's body as a vessel to subvert the world order, everyone was willing to satisfy this girl's little wish to stabilize her fragile emotions and equally fragile body. It was just some desserts and delicacies, which really meant nothing to these bigwigs who could easily mobilize billions of yen in huge funds.

She was happy because this was Lu Mingfei's hometown, and next to her stood the boy she had been thinking about for many years. At the same time, the person who shared those desserts with her was not Tachibana Masamune, whom she hated but had to hide her disgust, nor was it Yuan Zhisheng, who just wanted to finish the cake in his mouth and get back to work.

They had plenty of time to waste. They could sit in a dessert shop and enjoy a sickly sweet morning tea together, stroll along the bank of the Fei River and listen to the faint sound of the tide under the ice, and they could also unscrupulously show their attachment to Sakura without worrying about opposition from the Sheqi Eight Clan.

This feeling was really great. A slight cool breeze blew and ruffled the ends of Eri's hair. She hummed and arched under Lu Mingfei's armpits like a little pig, until she found a comfortable position after squeezing into the man's arms. Then she happily put her arms around Lu Mingfei's waist and looked at the long street behind her through the gap in the oversized and thick scarf.

The relentless blizzard was like a heavy curtain hanging in the sky, but the light grey clouds were gradually receding. From the towering mountains at the beginning to just a thin mist now, it was clear that today's snow had come to an end.

At this time, Lu Mingfei had already asked the boss to wrap the osmanthus crisps and strawberry-flavored mochi in rather old-fashioned oil paper. The small bag was bulging, but he could easily stuff it into the pocket of his coat.

There was actually half a roasted sweet potato in the same pocket, which was what Eri had left over. After taking a bite, Lu Mingfei thought that he would have hotpot soon and had to save some space, so he stuffed it into his pocket.

Eri opened her eyes wide and looked at everything in the country with curiosity. The Christmas trees that had not been removed were decorated with small gift boxes, and some were hung with small notes swaying in the wind, with boys or girls writing their beautiful expectations for their lovers. The signs on the commercial streets were full of slogans like "Hefei welcomes you". The streets and the buildings on both sides of the streets were obviously renovated and rebuilt in recent years, and the stores and their signs were neatly arranged, like a city built of building blocks.

At this time, there are still quite a few pedestrians on the street, most of them are couples with smiles on their faces and talking in low voices. Some couples will stop and look for a while when passing by the Christmas trees with notes hanging on them, then walk into the store behind the Christmas tree to make purchases, and then come out to write their own notes after making the purchase.

"Do you want to watch a movie first or go eat something?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Are there any good movies recently?" Eri now knows that movies are not something that you can do when you turn on your computer and the computer automatically simulates the ideas in your mind to create a work you expect. Instead, it is a premeditated and organized performance by a large group of people on a stage called a green screen.

During the time when she left Genji Heavy Industries and followed behind Xia Mi and Nono, this girl was keen on American superhero movies, but she disliked the character of Batman very much. She said why let the bad guys get away, if one bad guy is let go, more good people will pay the price for it, and what Bruce Wayne should do is to use the bat darts on his belt to shoot into the eyes of those vicious criminals.

Lu Mingfei agreed and said that they should really sprinkle some cigarette ash into their eyes, and Huili covered her mouth in surprise, saying that it was too cruel.

"Resident Evil was only released not long ago." Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and said, he wanted to slap himself in the face as soon as he said it. Who would take a girl to the cinema to watch Resident Evil: The Living Dead or The Grudge when dating her? Damn, the dim environment creates a charming and emotional atmosphere, but it doesn't mean you can scare the girl you brought with you to pee with a bunch of disgusting and bloody horror movies, okay?
As expected, Eri pouted, shook her shoulders, and snuggled deeper into his arms.

“Hmm~” The girl looked up at Lu Mingfei pitifully in a coquettish tone, “I don’t want to watch a horror movie.”

Lu Mingfei really couldn't stand Eri using this trick against him. At this time, even if the little monster asked Lu Mingfei to lick her toes, this guy would probably shamelessly lie down and wag his tail and lick them a few times.

"Then what should we watch?" He then kicked the ball back to Eri.

"I know how to use my phone. I saw on my phone that the nearest cinema is rerunning Charlotte's Web. We can go watch that movie." Eri waved her phone in her hand to show off, with a girlish and innocent look on her face that was not annoying. Lu Mingfei smiled, rubbed Eri's head, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go watch Charlotte's Web."

Lu Mingfei had actually seen this movie. It was broadcast on CCTV6's "Best Movies" program at that time.

But the impression is not very deep, after all, when he watched this movie, it was many years ago in another time and space, when he and Lu Mingze shared the same laptop. Whenever the little fat guy pinched his throat to make bubbling sounds to flirt with girls online, Lu Mingfei had to find some ways to entertain himself. If he happened to have pocket money, he would sneak out to play StarCraft online, or watch the stars on the rooftop. There were not many opportunities to watch TV, because his uncle always adhered to the principle of paying attention to the international situation and improving his self-cultivation, and was keen on watching the live broadcast of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan after the news broadcast and weather forecast ended. Charlotte's Web is actually an animated film. It tells the story of a pig named Wilbur in a barn. He established a cross-species friendship with a spider named Charlotte. The pig encountered some well-known danger, and the seemingly insignificant Charlotte stepped forward to save it, at the cost of her own life.

This is not a movie suitable for a couple to watch together. Lu Mingfei doesn't know why Huili made such a choice, but he respects her choice, just like if he takes Nono to see a movie, the movie must be "Wall-E". Some things don't need a reason, just do it.

"Let's go eat hotpot first, and then go to the movies." Eiry used one side of Lu Mingfei's coat as her own cloak. All the cold and loneliness of this winter were blocked out by that windbreaker. She raised her head, and the silver hairpin was flowing with a soft luster in the white sky.

"Can Eri eat spicy food?" Lu Mingfei asked.

The snow had fallen heavily and rapidly, but now it was gradually thinning out.

"If Sakura can eat spicy food, so can I!" Eri's eyes sparkled, she clenched her fists, and looked serious. She was indeed a little monster who refused to admit defeat.

When Eri was in the hands of the Yagi Eight Families, her diet was actually rather light. The heads of the Yagi Eight Families were reluctant to provide the girl with stimulating foods in order to prevent her emotions from fluctuating too much and causing her bloodline to get out of control.

But during the time when I followed Lu Mingfei away from home, facts have proved time and again that food and drink will not cause bloodline disturbance at all.

Not to mention spicy food, even if you drink Sanhua evaporated milk as water, the worst you'll get is food poisoning and organ failure, and things like your genetic bloodline won't be affected at all.

"Drink some milk first to fill your stomach." Lu Mingfei actually took out a bottle of hot milk from the pocket where he had stuffed the cakes just now, "I specially asked the boss to get it for you."

Eri bit the straw with a satisfied look on her face.

"Are there crabapple trees in Sakura's hometown?" she asked.

"There should be some in the botanical garden. We use plane trees as landscape trees here. Things like crabapple flowers are rare."

“Does Korea have crabapple trees?”

"I don't know. I haven't been there."

Eiry reached her hand into Lu Mingfei's clothes and felt around. The cold touch gave him goose bumps. "You wanted to trick me into leaving Tokyo, right? And then you could go fight Herzog alone," she said.

Lu Mingfei was stunned and realized what Eri was talking about.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know whether he should tell her the truth.

In fact, in Eri's eyes at that time, the omnipotent Sakura was just a loser. When the girl was anxious to cross the whole city to take her knight to leave Tokyo and Japan to escape, Lu Mingfei just wanted to hide in the wine cellar in Takamagahara and wait for death silently.

He neither wanted to trade a quarter of his life with Lu Mingze nor did he want to be so disloyal as to abandon his senior brother and escape alone. Besides, there were still many Ghost Commandos carrying submachine guns in Takama-ga-hara at that time. Those terrorists were heinous criminals who killed anyone they saw. Lu Mingfei didn't think he could fight his way out of the encirclement with just a small pistol and his mediocre practical skills.

Then Lu Mingfei suddenly felt relieved.

He thought that he had indeed made mistakes, but fortunately perhaps God had given him another chance. All mistakes must be corrected, and all the fate that was bound to come should be punished.

"Speaking of this, I have actually always felt guilty in my heart. At that time..." He couldn't say any more because a slender, soft finger with a slight fragrance was raised in front of his lips.

Eri was staring into his eyes.

"I said I never blamed you. I know Sakura is also very sad. I know Sakura also fought for me... I know you are my knight and you will definitely avenge me." She said softly, retracted the finger, then hugged Lu Mingfei tightly and put her little face on his chest.

Snowflakes were falling slowly, and Lu Mingfei felt that the world was so vast that he could only hear Eri's breathing.

"Don't forget, Sakura." said Eri.

Lu Mingfei touched her head. The girl's voice was light and clear.
"We are all little monsters, and one day we will beat up all the evil Ultraman." (End of this chapter)
