Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 260 Going home and picking up a girl

It is the time to get off work and school, and it is also the last afternoon before the weekend. Office workers and students have accumulated fatigue for five consecutive days and can finally relax in this afternoon. Therefore, the atrium of the department store is crowded with people.

Now, more than one person felt a slight chill on their heads, the physical kind. Some people looked up in confusion, and the falling snowflakes made the restlessness of this autumn day a little calmer.

But before I could feel surprised, doubts arose.

Let's put aside the fact that a few hours ago, the scorching sun, which was unique to autumn, had kept these office workers and students huddled in air-conditioned offices and classrooms and unwilling to come out. Although the atrium of the department store was bright and transparent, it had a glass dome to protect it from wind and rain.

At this time, the department store finally notified us: "We are very sorry that the newly purchased snow machine has malfunctioned, which has brought you a bad shopping experience..."

Everyone understood that it was just a mistake. Although it was just a mistake, it was a wonderful mistake that allowed them to see snow, which is not common in winter, in such a weather that they just wanted to hide in the air-conditioned room.

"...What a wonderful mistake." Patsy said softly.

Her eyes were gentle, with a smile on her lips, and the falling snowflakes were reflected in her blue eyes. It was beautiful, like the crystal ball hut used to decorate the Christmas tree at Christmas. Suddenly, I wanted to curl up with her in a warm hut with a fireplace in the north, watching the heavy snow drifting outside the window.

It doesn’t matter how cold the weather is outside, because the cabin is so warm, and the way two people cuddle up to each other is even warmer. And it would be even better if there were northern lights at this time, which is said to be a sign of meeting Santa Claus...

With his mind full of trains, Lu Mingfei bit the straw and answered, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."

Fireworks can be flowers and can be given as gifts. So snowflakes can also be flowers and can be given as gifts.

Patsy turned around and looked at Lu Mingfei. She still had a gentle smile on her face, and Lu Mingfei's appearance was reflected in her blue eyes: "I like the flowers you sent me very much."

“…As long as you like it.” Lu Mingfei answered calmly. When he used the special words, he had to say them out loud. It was not surprising that others discovered them when he was muttering to himself.

Besides, if you give a gift without letting others know, isn’t that the same as not giving it at all?

The well-dressed waiter brought the exquisite meal, which was in line with the impression given by French cuisine. The portions were small and exquisite, as if what you were eating was not the meal but the taste.

Then soon, Lu Mingfei knew why Patsy brought him here.

After the meal was served, Patsy did not sit opposite Lu Mingfei, but sat next to him, sitting right next to him so that she could teach him dining etiquette.

Lu Mingfei was shocked. It turned out that this was exactly the purpose of the head maid.

"Your daily etiquette is impeccable, but as the future master of the Gattuso family, you should have more perfect etiquette to convince everyone..." Patsy whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear.

She gently took Lu Mingfei's hand and corrected his position of holding the knife and fork. Patsy's golden hair fell on his shoulders, and the faint fragrance of the perfume on her body, which Lu Mingfei didn't recognize, filled his nostrils, making his thoughts, which he had finally put away, almost start running wild again.

Feeling Patsy's breath in his ear, Lu Mingfei looked a little strange. He found that he had guessed wrong again. This was the real purpose of the head maid!

By the time the meal was finished, it was already completely dark. Lu Mingfei had a blank expression on his face, while Patsy gently wiped his mouth with a napkin and told him how to perform the post-meal etiquette elegantly.

Patsy requested him to keep a blank expression. She said that this unpredictable feeling would make it difficult for people to see his mental activities, so that he could gain more initiative at the conference table... Lu Mingfei had a blank expression on his face, but he was yawning in his heart. He was wrong again. He shouldn't have questioned Lucrecia.

Lucrecia was probably one of the people in the world who understood Patsy best, and her little complaints about the head maid might not be entirely due to her eldest daughter syndrome.

Patsy, with a gentle smile, straightened Lu Mingfei's collar and smoothed out the wrinkles on his coat one by one. Her movements were serious and gentle, like a wife sending her husband to work... Well, if she hadn't said, "As the future male owner of the Gattuso family..."

The head maid was so conscientious that she even reminded the future male owner of the family to pay attention to personal etiquette during her vacation. But Lu Mingfei didn't want to recall his first outing with Patsy and hear: As the future male owner of the Gattuso family...

The artificial snow in the atrium was still falling, and a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground. It was said that the snow machine was out of order, which made the guests very happy. After all, who doesn’t like a little coolness on a hot autumn day?
However, the excitement came and went quickly. In autumn, it was hot during the day and cold at night, and the temperature dropped rapidly after dark. Coupled with the low temperature of melting snow, no matter how high the enthusiasm was, it could not withstand the cold. The once bustling courtyard was soon deserted.

When it's cold, people want to drink something hot, which makes the nearby hot drink shop and hot pot restaurant very happy, and they take the initiative to take the responsibility of clearing the snow.

Then the excitement faded, and doubts came up again. The snow machine can make snow, but that is in the zero-degree environment in winter. Still, apart from the fact that it is still a sunny autumn day, the air conditioning temperature in the department store is not low. The snow did not melt immediately, but piled up into a large layer. This is a bit strange.

Lu Mingfei didn't care about that. He walked on the snow in the courtyard, leaving footprints one step at a time. The newly fallen snow covered all the traces of the previous people's tossing, making his footprints extremely conspicuous.

Sunan is close to the Magic City. Although it is also a coastal city, it is not like the Demon City, which has failed to enter winter for several years. Snow is not uncommon here, but he has only seen a few piles of snow in his memory.

Patsy followed him, her boots also leaving footprints on the snow. Their footprints were close together, one big and one small, one long and one short, one heavy and one light, which seemed somewhat harmonious.

Patsy spoke softly to Lu Mingfei, but she was no longer discussing the etiquette of the future male owner of the Gattuso family, but the new decoration plan for his house. Lu Mingfei was overwhelmed by what he heard. As for the demolition of the house, maybe he could help a little, and call Fenrir, the little troublemaker, to solve it quickly.

Lu Mingfei lagged behind Patsy by two steps, but the latter didn't notice and was still discussing with him whether they needed to prepare a few more guest rooms.

"Patsy." Lu Mingfei called out.

The head maid turned around and saw Lu Mingfei looking at her with a smile. Then, a snowball flew over and hit her clothes and broke into pieces.

"Mr. Lu Mingfei." Patsy smiled slightly, "This behavior is very inconsistent with your identity as the future male owner of the Gattuso family."

"Miss Patsy Gattuso, head maid." Lu Mingfei called her by her full name and smiled as she did. "We are here to have fun. Can you not talk about work during the break?"

"And..." He threw another snowball, which was avoided by Patsy as expected by gently moving her body to the side.

Lu Mingfei didn't care and continued, "Don't say whether this behavior is childish or not. I'm only a seventeen-year-old child. Although you look quite mature, you're not that older." Lu Mingfei threw another snowball, and this time Patsy didn't dodge it and gently caught it in her hand.

He smiled at Patsy: "We are all little kids, there is no need to pretend to be mature..."

Lu Mingfei stopped talking because Patsy responded with a snowball.

“…Are you still angry?” Lu Mingfei glanced sideways. The head maid had a blank expression on her face, and her temperament was three points colder than when she was wearing the butler’s uniform.

"No." Patsy smiled faintly, but the smile was neither cold nor warm. "You are the master, and I am the maid. A maid has no right to tell the master what to do."

Yes, I have no right to make comments, but I can touch her. Recalling the way the head maid leaned close to him and held his hand openly, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but laugh twice, and then handed the thing in his hand to her.

Patsy looked at the sculpture in front of her with some surprise. The shape was a little silly, but she didn't know what it was. "This is... a snow sculpture."

“…Yes.” Even with Lu Mingfei’s big heart and thick skin, he couldn’t help but blush.

Snow is not a good material for sculpture, and most snow sculptures are naturally better the bigger they are, the clearer they are. Lu Mingfei's sculpture can just fit in the palm of his hand, and this size also means... this sculpture is a bit abstract.

Patsy pointed at the two little figures, one male and one female, who could barely be identified as being in the room. She said, "This is... me and you?"

“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei nodded silently. He had done another wrong thing today. He shouldn’t have brought out this abstract thing.

“Well, it’s inevitable to make mistakes when doing something for the first time. Forget about this one. I’ll make you something less abstract next time.” Lu Mingfei said, and withdrew his hand.

Before he stopped, Patsy had already taken the silly and cute abstract snow sculpture in her hand: "Although this is a bit too unsatisfactory as a sculpture, as the first work of the future male owner of the Gattuso family, it has special commemorative significance..."

She looked at Lu Mingfei, the smile in her blue eyes was no longer lukewarm, but rather gentle enough to stun people: "To put it simply, I like it very much."

Patsy found a store that sold home appliances and specially found a freezer to store the silly and cute snow sculptures. After packing the freezer and putting it on the truck, she looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile and took him for a walk as if they were taking a walk.

It was not until they were somewhere where no one was around that she turned sideways and faced Lu Mingfei.

Patsy smiled gently with her eyebrows curved. To be able to manage such a large group of maids in lace white dresses, the head maid must not only have strong professional qualities, but also have the beauty to overwhelm these beautiful maids.

Patsy's beauty is naturally beyond words, and at this moment her gentleness is almost overflowing, so beautiful that it makes people feel overwhelmed.

"Ahem." Lu Mingfei coughed lightly, "It's getting late, it's time to go back."

"Yes, I know." Patsy replied, smiling gently at Lu Mingfei, "But before that, please let me express my gratitude first."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Lu Mingfei and gently closed her eyes. The heel of her boot left the ground for a long time before landing.

"You don't have to feel guilty towards me." Patsy leaned against Lu Mingfei's chest. "As I said, because of the existence of the Nibelungen Plan, the elders will not allow the family to monopolize you. And in order to keep you for a little longer, the family will also take measures, and I am one of them."

She said softly: "So please don't feel guilty or indebted. I was one of the brides chosen for you..."

……

Lu Mingfei hummed a song and walked briskly back to the community. He greeted the old man who was still waiting at the stairs to enjoy the cool air after the temperature turned cold at night, and continued to hum a song as the old man winked at him.

He was in a good mood, so he didn't notice that the door opposite his house was slightly open. Naturally, he didn't see the superwomen waving at him through the crack in the door, signaling him to come over.

Lu Mingfei pressed the door handle and paused. Naturally, some small changes in the house could not be hidden from his ears.

His eyes flashed. No wonder he felt that something was missing today. He had suddenly bumped into the white figure during the previous two dates. He was surprised that he felt a little more at ease today. It turned out that he was waiting here.

With gold flowing in his eyes, he pushed the door open resolutely... and then was startled by a scream.

"You didn't knock before entering the room!" Xia Mi, the little troublemaker, covered her face with a bath towel, her face flushed. Her arms and smooth thighs were all exposed, white and slender, with some wet water, making people wonder where to put their eyes.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. The scene of a beautiful girl taking a bath would certainly make one's nose bleed, but this was his home!
"Wait a minute! Let's first rule out the question of whether or not I should knock on the door when I return to my own home. Shouldn't you explain why you are here?" Lu Mingfei asked back after he reacted.

“I, I, I, I…” The little troublemaker’s face turned red terribly, as if steam would come out of it in the next second. “Before you ask this question, can’t you go out first and wait until I change my clothes before asking!?”

"Let's put aside why I have to leave my own house. Isn't this the scene you created?" Lu Mingfei was a little amused. "Also, why would someone come out of the shower wearing a bath towel, and in someone else's house?"

Xiao Zheteng said angrily: "I do that at home!"

Lu Mingfei sneered at this: "It's so funny. You're the only one living in your... no, your neighborhood, okay? No one cares what you wear. Besides..."

He raised his head and looked at her from top to bottom, and finally his eyes stopped at a flat area covered by the bath towel. He sneered: "What's there to see with someone like you?"

The little fuss didn't produce any steam, but she exploded. She showed her little fangs and rushed towards Lu Mingfei with her teeth and claws bared. Lu Mingfei smiled faintly, stretched out a hand to suppress her, but failed to suppress her and was driven out of his own home.
