Chapter 162 This time... there are many people looking forward to it (5k)
The next morning, at the Regent Hotel.
At the VIP restaurant and bar on the ninth floor, my uncle was wearing a well-ironed suit and showing off his protruding belly, pretending to be familiar with the place, while my aunt was looking around and exclaiming at how high-end hotels are.
"Mr. Lu Mingfei? Green tea or black tea?" The well-dressed waiter walked to the table and asked Lu Mingfei, who was sandwiched between his uncle and aunt.
"What are the prices?" The uncle showed the air of a man who often visited high-end places.
"Everything is free for guests in the presidential suite. Professor Guderian booked the presidential suite."
“Presidential suite?! This school is really rich…” Aunt sighed again, and at the same time she became more certain that Lu Mingfei was able to enter the school through Gu Ye’s relationship.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and a burly old man with gray hair strode towards the table by the window. On his left was Ye Sheng, and on his right was Jiude Aki. They came up excitedly and grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand without saying a word.
"Hello! Lu Mingfei! I'm a little late."
"Hello... Professor Guderian?" Lu Mingfei was a little overwhelmed by such overflowing enthusiasm.
“You speak Chinese very well.”
Professor Guderian showed a hint of pride on his face, and immediately began to show off like a peacock spreading its feathers.
"Really? I learned it from the news broadcast. Chinese has been popularized in our college for a long time. But my Chinese is the best and I don't have an accent, so I was arranged to be your mentor..." He looked at Lu Mingfei with shining eyes.
Lu Mingfei always felt that something was wrong. Wasn't it that the tutor at Kassel College was arranged by the school instead of his own choice? But that was also true... After all, he was Chinese. Maybe it was for this reason that Professor Guderian, who was the best at Chinese, was arranged to receive him.
But if he didn't need to speak English? Then what was the point of learning English in the past two years? It wasn't about learning, it wasn't about language, and he didn't show any superpowers, so why did Professor Guderian show such a "joyful" expression when they met for the first time?
"Hello, Professor Gu, I'm Lu Mingfei's uncle." The uncle squeezed in between Professor Guderian and Lu Mingfei, unwilling to be lonely.
Because he couldn't remember the name Guderian, his uncle chose a very Chinese way of addressing him, but it was obvious that Professor Guderian was not very interested in him.
"You and your nephew really don't look alike!" Professor Guderian spoke bluntly, causing the uncle's hand, which had been stretched out and hung in the air, to stop there awkwardly.
"Professor..." Ye Sheng tugged at Professor Guderian's sleeve from behind, as if to remind him, and Professor Guderian then reacted. The three of them came and sat down across the table.
"Oh! I forgot, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, come eat something first." Professor Guderian held a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, his eyes always fixed on Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei felt that the way he looked at him was like a glutton looking at a roast chicken, full of anticipation.
The expensive breakfast included salmon rolls and freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the sterling silver tableware was quite impressive. All this immediately dispelled the uncle's unhappiness. After all, it was not shameful that Lu Mingfei did not look like him. Both the host and the guests were very happy at the moment.
Professor Guderian praised Lu Mingfei's outstanding performance in the interview, and his uncle was also happy to say that he knew at first glance that Kassel College was an American aristocratic school, and its grandeur was truly incomparable to that of Chinese universities.
Ye Sheng had already made preparations under Gu Ye's instructions. He took out a copy of the official university license registered with the U.S. Department of Education for his aunt to see, and then took out a photo album. He introduced them one by one, saying that this is the library of Kassel College, this is the gymnasium of Kassel College, and this is the concert hall of Kassel College.
The college in the photo was quaint, like a fully renovated castle. There was also a photo of Ye Sheng himself riding a windsurfing board, with thousands of sails competing behind him. Ye Sheng said that it was the college's annual windsurfing competition, and Kassel College had surpassed the University of Chicago for three consecutive years. My aunt was also impressed and exclaimed that it was a blessing for our Mingfei to be able to attend your school in his previous life.
Lu Mingfei felt a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere. He felt as if his uncle and aunt were eager to send him out after seeing the school's background. He knew that although this was a second communication he had deliberately conducted in order to reassure his uncle and aunt, he still had some doubts he wanted to ask.
Neither Gu Ye nor Chen Motong told him why Cassel chose an ordinary person like him who had no superpowers at all, so he had to figure out what was so great about him that the school valued him so much.
"Professor Guderian, why did Cassel choose me?" Lu Mingfei finally spoke.
"Of course it's your overall qualities! You have great potential!" Professor Guderian said with a firm tone, his eyes full of trust in Lu Mingfei.
"We admire you so much that we not only want to admit you, but also give you a scholarship. I have decided to allocate a scholarship of 36000 US dollars per year from my name, which is enough for you to complete four years of college!" The uncle and aunt gasped at the same time.
"Professor Gu, this... please don't let there be any additional conditions? Something like having to pay the money back later... we need to make it clear first." Guderian's overly anxious behavior made his uncle feel that something was wrong.
"No need! The scholarship is to reward your nephew. In fact, the main reason is because of his parents. They happen to be our honorary alumni and have donated to the college. Under the same conditions, we will give priority to the children of alumni and give them enough support." Professor Guderian also realized that he was wrong and quickly looked for excuses.
Lu Mingfei raised his head suddenly, his heart trembling slightly. He had forgotten how long it had been since he heard from his parents. Every time his mother wrote to him, she just told him to take care of himself and study hard. It was always the same.
Lu Mingfei sometimes felt that those letters were just perfunctory to him. In fact, his parents didn’t care about him at all. So if it weren’t for Gu Ye, he might still be the coward who just wanted to be a salted fish.
"They care about you very much." Professor Guderian sighed, his expression full of nostalgia.
"Although I have never met them, I heard that they have been busy with important projects and have been traveling around the world in recent years. I have a photo of them here. Oh, by the way, there is also a letter your mother wrote to the college about you." He took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Lu Mingfei.
The photo shows a garden in summer. In the distance, you can vaguely see the Kassel Academy in the sunset. In the near distance, there are countless vine walls, which are dark green and transparent. A man and a woman are walking hand in hand in the vine walls. The man is wearing a loose white shirt and a pair of loose-leg pants, and a pair of wooden slippers on his feet. The woman is wearing a pure white cotton home skirt.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his finger and gently touched the faces of the two people on the screen. The beautiful man and woman were his parents, but they were so far away from him, far away in a corner of the world that he could never visit. His nose felt a little sour. In the photo, the man and woman looked at each other's faces with a warm smile. It was obviously a world of two people. They probably forgot that they had a child together.
"They are both older, but still quite romantic..." Aunt's tone was a little sour. Her uncle never looked at her like that, which made her envy the couple.
Professor Guderian handed over another short letter, which was printed out, probably an email:
Dear Principal Angers:
It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. I hope you are in good health as before... There have been new developments in recent research, and we can't leave. I have something to ask of you. My child Lu Mingfei is already 18 years old... We all believe that he will make a difference in academics, so if possible, please help Kassel College in accepting him... Please tell him that his father and mother love him.
Sincerely, Giovanni
Lu Mingfei read the letter silently without saying anything for a long time. In fact, he did not have any strong feelings about the letter. Instead, a strong sadness surged in his heart.
How can love be expressed simply on a piece of paper? What's the point if it's not said face to face? Although he knew that his parents might really love him as much as what was written on the paper.
But Lu Mingfei's expectations had long been accompanied by the time he walked home from school and watched his classmates being picked up by cars, and the dust raised by the cars was swept away along with them.
Isn't it too late to say this now? Lu Mingfei couldn't hold back his tears as he thought about this. He controlled his emotions and finally calmed down after a long time.
"That is to say, they are also..." Lu Mingfei did not say it explicitly, but Professor Guderian knew what he meant. "Yes, they are the best class." Guderian nodded.
Hahaha… So I am also the son of a hero? Lu Mingfei showed a bitter smile. No wonder my parents never came home. Maybe they are fighting against evil forces in some corner of the world, and I am about to inherit their legacy. This sounds a bit romantic.
"I have another question..." Lu Mingfei did not ask any further questions. Instead, he glanced at his uncle and aunt who had already finished their meal.
"Mingfei's uncle, the parents have already met today. I would like to talk to Lu Mingfei alone, is that okay? Also... the school will arrange the air tickets, passports and so on, you just need to prepare luggage for Mingfei." Professor Guderian ordered the uncle to leave, he knew that some things were not easy to say in front of them.
"Oh! Okay! Then we'll leave first..." Uncle was stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he stood up first and pulled Lu Mingze and aunt to leave.
However, the aunt came to Lu Mingfei, glanced at Professor Guderian, and whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear.
"Don't forget Mingze, Mingfei... introduce your brother to the professor."
Since Professor Guderian wanted them to leave, my aunt was embarrassed to stay any longer, so she could only hope that Lu Mingfei could say something good for Lu Mingze so that Lu Mingze could also enter this aristocratic school.
"I understand, aunt." Lu Mingfei nodded, but silently complained in his heart, if aunt knew how dangerous this school was, would she still want Lu Mingze to join?
After a while, when his uncle and aunt had completely left, Lu Mingfei continued to look at Professor Guderian.
"What exactly am I going to face? Or...what is the school trying to fight against by training so many students?"
If it was an evil organization in the movie, the school should have only one class like the X-Men, but according to Professor Guderian, his parents had studied at Kassel Academy a long time ago, which means... in addition to himself and his parents, there were many classes of students who graduated from Kassel.
So what on earth could it be that has been repeated for so many years without being eradicated? There would be no fewer than a few hundred people in a school. If all of them were like Gu Ye, how strong would the existence that needed to be fought be?
"As expected, you asked the key question. I have prepared a lot of information, but... it is not easy to bring it from China, so I will answer this question for you after you enroll. But don't doubt it... the existence we are dealing with is indeed closely related to the life and death of mankind. I hope you are prepared." Professor Guderian scratched his head and could only remind Lu Mingfei vaguely.
Although he has joined the academy, Professor Guderian cannot guarantee that Lu Mingfei will be as receptive as Gu Ye. Before signing the contract, he is still not prepared to reveal the secrets of the dragon clan.
“Is that so… I’m really flattered.” Lu Mingfei sighed. It turned out that the world really needed a loser like him.
"But... I don't have any abilities now, right? What can I do if I join? Or... awakening abilities requires a medium, and that medium only exists in Kassel Academy?"
"Very close. Generally speaking... there are also people who awaken on their own outside the academy, but your bloodline is unusually stable, so only after the school's exam can we detect whether you have awakened." Professor Guderian nodded.
"Is it possible that I actually don't have any bloodline and you guys have seen it wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked. He had already come to the conclusion before even testing. They definitely have other ways to see what he is hiding, so he wanted to get more useful information.
"You didn't even call me for breakfast. Hey! You're here! Junior." Chen Motong's voice came from behind Guderian. She sat down next to Jiude Aki without any hesitation, picked up the knife and fork and took the last salmon roll from Ye Sheng's plate.
"I have another one, I'll give it to you too." Shude Aki also forked her salmon roll to Chen Motong.
"You two cooperate so well, just like a couple. Why don't you get married yet?" Chen Motong said vaguely with a salmon roll stuffed in his mouth.
Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki looked at each other, feeling a little helpless and a little embarrassed. Chen Motong didn't look at anyone and just spread butter on her bread. In the sunlight, her long hair was a deep red, like wine.
"So can you tell me? Professor, why are you so sure that I am the person you are looking for?" Lu Mingfei nodded to Chen Motong and looked at Guderian again and spoke.
"It's very simple. Your parents both have very high bloodline levels, and you will definitely not be bad either, and... you should be at the highest level, S-level." Chen Motong put down his knife and fork and spoke softly.
"Nono! He hasn't signed the contract yet!" Professor Guderian scolded Chen Motong.
“What does it matter? My junior brother won’t back down just because he knows the truth. I guess he has already made preparations. When he left the graduation party that day…” Chen Motong looked at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei’s dazed look was reflected in his light red pupils.
"Wherever Brother Gu is, I will be there...this will not change." Lu Mingfei nodded and said seriously to Professor Guderian.
"Then I really have to thank Gu Ye." Professor Guderian sighed, his student seemed to really trust Gu Ye.
"Please be patient. I will be waiting for you in Chicago in a week. I will bring enough evidence..."
"Let you know the truth about this world." After saying that, Professor Guderian stood up and left the VIP restaurant.
"In other words, we have to wait another week? Sister Nuonuo, how about you explain it to me?" Lu Mingfei could only look to Chen Motong for help, because Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki also left with the professor.
"Forget it. I'd better not steal the professor's job. The reason why he wants to tell you a week later is probably to make you his student. If I interfere, the professor will make me fail the course." Chen Motong shrugged, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
"Why? Do I have to be his student?" Lu Mingfei had a headache.
"Because you are very important..." Chen Motong stood up slightly, put his hands on the table and looked at Lu Mingfei.
"It's more important than you think, so... you should learn more from Gu Ye in the future and have some S-level style... otherwise you will disappoint people."
Pinching Lu Mingfei's face with his hand, Chen Motong quickly left, leaving Lu Mingfei alone sitting in front of the table, staring blankly at his parents' photos and letters.
"Disappointing..." Qiao Weini was smiling in the photo, and Lu Mingfei gently stroked her with his fingers and also smiled.
"Let's try to look forward to it one last time. The disappointing Lu Mingfei...left two years ago, so...you guys shouldn't let me down, Dad and...Mom."
No matter how uncomfortable he felt, Lu Mingfei still couldn't easily give up his love for his parents, even though they had disappointed him many times.
Lu Mingfei is different from them. He will not do anything disappointing again, because... there are many people looking forward to it this time.
Today is a big chapter of 5k. I want to take a day off, so I will update one chapter first QAQ. Tomorrow I will resume writing 7 to 8k. The author's updates are very stable, so don't worry.
