Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 271 Maple Leaf and First Encounter

Lu Mingfei parked the car in the parking lot and locked it, then looked to the side. Su Xiaoqiang was holding her bag, with her arms crossed over her chest, looking angrily at the empty distance, but she just didn't look this way.

Unable to resist a smile, Lu Mingfei stepped forward, walked to her side and glanced at her: "It's still early now. The restaurant I booked won't open until noon. Let's take a walk here before then."

"Hmph!" Su Xiaoqiang snorted and turned her head and body to the side. She just didn't want to face him.

"Then you can just sulk here." Lu Mingfei said, turned around and walked away. After walking for a while, he waved back and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Lansun Mountain used to be called Snake Mountain. Can you guess why it was called Snake Mountain?"

"You can't fool me!" Su Xiaoqiang glared at his back, "It's She, not Snake. This place was obviously named after someone with the surname She who lived here before!"

Lansun Mountain, also known as She Mountain, is the second highest peak in the area with a height of only 99 meters. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, an emperor ate the bamboo shoots grown here and found that they had a faint orchid flavor, so he named it Lansun Mountain.

Strictly speaking, this is no longer Southern Jiangsu, but the Magic City next door. However, the two places are not far apart, and there is really nothing to see in Southern Jiangsu, so people from Southern Jiangsu are willing to drive here to have fun in their spare time.

Lu Mingfei stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Xiaoqiang with a subtle smile on his face: "Are you sure?"

Su Xiaoqiang was very sure, but by chance, there was a rustling sound in the pile of fallen leaves on the grass next to the parking lot. It is true that Sheshan is called Sheshan, but some people say that the word She originally means snake.

There is a legend that says there were two giant snakes in the sky causing chaos here. After being killed by the gods, they fell to the ground and turned into two mountains, one of which is Dongshe Mountain.

Isn't it strange that there are small snakes living on Sheshan Mountain, which was transformed from a big snake? Moreover, it is autumn now, the season when snakes go out to find food for the winter and reproduce. It is probably the most active time of the year.

Su Xiaoqiang was suddenly startled. If she looked carefully, it seemed that there were really colorful things moving in the leaves...

The pretty girl and the colorful little snake were not a good match at all. Su Xiaoqiang glared at the culprit who brought her here and planned to throw her aside. The latter still had a smile on his face, as if waiting to see her laugh.

"Don't get me wrong, I just simply think that if you run around and get bitten by a snake accidentally, it would be pitiful if no one helps you call an ambulance." Su Xiaoqiang snorted and trotted after him in her high-heeled sandals.

Lu Mingfei extended his hand to Su Xiaoqiang: "Give me the bag."

"What are you going to do?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at him warily, afraid that he would secretly put some insects in it when she wasn't paying attention, in order to scare her.

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes at her and said, "We are going to climb a mountain later. Isn't it heavy to carry all these bags?"

"...Are you so kind?" Su Xiaoqiang hesitated, but still gave him the bag.

Sheshan is not very high, and most people can go up and down in a few minutes. But for the beautiful girls wearing high-heeled sandals and dressed beautifully, it is a little different.

Lu Mingfei took the bag, opened it and took out the thermos cup. Because of the weather and the fact that Su Xiaoqiang had been holding it in her arms, the thermos cup still had warm steam and a bit of the girl's unique body fragrance.

Su Xiaoqiang looked at him with some doubts, not knowing what he was going to do this time. Lu Mingfei unscrewed the lid of the cup and drank the remaining soy milk in front of her.

He showed Su Xiaoqiang the empty cup: "Are you satisfied?"

Lu Mingfei smacked his lips and said, “You know what, you really have to say, after I got used to this thing and savored it carefully, it seems that it does have a quite special taste.”

Su Xiaoqiang stared at him blankly, blinking in surprise. Then she raised her lips slightly, walked over with a smile, and took out a thermos box from her bag, which contained the half-eaten omelet.

She handed the thermos box to Lu Mingfei: "Eat this too, and I'll forgive you."

Lu Mingfei glanced at her and said nothing. He took the insulated box and finished the remaining pancakes in two or three bites. He showed Su Xiaoqiang the empty insulated box, who also did not say anything, but walked past him with her head held high.

Su Xiaoqiang put her hands behind her back, and her pretty face, which combined the advantages of the East and the West, was visibly happy. She walked briskly, and her high heels stepped on the falling leaves. The sunlight shone through the branches on both sides of the aisle, shining on her white and slender calves.

The little angel is such a person. As long as you stay by her side, no matter what time it is, you can always feel the passion unique to summer from her.

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly paused and waved to someone behind her who was holding a bag with one hand and putting the other hand in her pocket.

Although the walkway is a clean cement road, there are a lot of fallen leaves piled up on both sides of the road that have not been cleaned up yet. If a colorful little snake jumps out at this time, the good mood that has finally improved will be ruined.

Lu Mingfei smiled silently. It was really interesting to see the beautiful girl become happy again after having a quarrel.

"There's nothing interesting up here." In a roadside pavilion, Su Xiaoqiang said this while covering her forehead with her hand, leaning on the guardrail, and looking at the sea of ​​trees outside the pavilion.

There weren't many people on the mountain right now, and it was a rare quiet day. After all, it was only early Saturday morning, and most people were probably still curled up in bed, enjoying this rare day off.

At this moment, most of the people on the mountain were uncles and aunts who lived nearby and got up early to do morning exercises or walks. When they saw Su Xiaoqiang, who was full of youth and seemed to have endless energy, they couldn't help but smile and sighed that youth is like this.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Su Xiaoqiang, who said there was nothing to see but was still looking outside, and couldn't help but smile.

It is November now, when the maple leaves on the mountain are at their reddest and most beautiful. In the breeze, the red or golden leaves sway slightly, making a sound like the sound of the sea waves.

There are not only maple trees on Sheshan Mountain, but the golden leaves are now like a burning sea, spreading across the entire mountain.

"Look, look!" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly turned around and asked Lu Mingfei to look outside. The wind blew through the trees, revealing the magnificent building on the top of the mountain.

At the top of Sheshan is a church, the Basilica of Our Lady, which is said to be the largest church in the Far East. It has red brick walls and a golden spire. The Baroque style combined with traditional Chinese architectural techniques is a great example of the combination of Chinese and Western styles.

If it is Sunday, some believers from the foot of the mountain will come up to the mountain to attend the worship. That is probably the busiest time in Sheshan. After worship, the believers go for a walk and admire the Basilica of Our Lady in the red leaves on the top of the mountain. This fiery scenery is worth a trip even if it is not Sunday.

...However, Lu Mingfei's current gaze is not on the Basilica of Our Lady amidst the golden leaves.

He turned his head and looked at Su Xiaoqiang who was marveling at the red leaves all over the mountain. The fiery red leaves were like fire, spreading across the entire mountain, and the girl beside her was also like fire, with a fiery red skirt like a maple leaf elf, making people subconsciously ignore the scenery in the distance and only want to take a good look at the scenery around them.

The girl in the red dress is a beautiful scenery in itself.

Lu Mingfei felt a rare calm in his heart. After the sudden encounter with the white figure last night, his slightly fluctuating emotions completely faded away. After the battle, it was indeed necessary to accompany Su Xiaoqiang on the trip. The relaxed atmosphere around her made him lazy and he didn't want to think about anything else.

Finally noticing his gaze, Su Xiaoqiang stopped being obsessed with the red color of the mountain and turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"...If there's nothing, then we can't see it?" Lu Mingfei said, and then he turned around and looked at the red fire all over the mountain, "It's quite beautiful."

"I haven't asked anything yet, but it's really beautiful. Thank you for this." Su Xiaoqiang also sighed, and then suddenly reacted, turned her head and looked at Lu Mingfei carefully, "What did you say just now that it's beautiful?"

“The mountains are beautiful.” Lu Mingfei said, and then a ripple appeared in his calm heart... He always felt that this scene seemed inexplicably familiar.

Su Xiaoqiang narrowed her eyes: "You are lying! You didn't even look at the mountain just now. Tell me, what is so beautiful?"

"I said it was in the mountains..." Lu Mingfei answered, and then secretly thought about what the sudden sense of déjà vu just now was about.

"I don't believe it. You were clearly looking at me just now. What you said just now was beautiful, and you were talking to me!" Su Xiaoqiang's eyebrows were slightly proud. "Have you finally admitted that your vision is not good? But since you made me happy today, I will forgive your rudeness to me two years ago."

I was just praising you, but you are so proud of yourself. Lu Mingfei glanced at Su Xiaoqiang's pretty face. Just like when they first met two years ago, she was indeed trembling with pride...

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what the déjà vu that just flashed by was about.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei who suddenly stopped talking, leaned on the guardrail, moved closer and asked.

Then, with a click, the wooden guardrail she had been holding on to suddenly cracked. The wooden guardrail had become somewhat fragile due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, and could not support the sudden weight.

Su Xiaoqiang screamed and fell out of the pavilion. Lu Mingfei no longer worried about the sense of sight. The pavilion was built halfway up the mountain, and there was nothing below. If she fell, she might really go to the sky and become a little fairy.

Then, as he hugged the girl's frightened body, Lu Mingfei's thoughts, which had been out of control, began to race.

……

Two years ago, Lu Mingfei was sitting in the classroom sighing because his parents suddenly went to the North Pole. Today is the day when the new class of students from Shilan High School enters the school. As one of them, he should be happy.

But... Lu Mingfei looked around the classroom.

Two identical little fat boys were following a boy, who was greeting the new students in a familiar manner, exuding a sense of "my family is rich". Lu Mingfei secretly listened and found out that the man was called Zhao Menghua.

He looked to the other side, and saw a girl in a white skirt sitting on a seat next to an open window, holding a book. The sun shone on her skirt and skin, making them look somewhat transparent. From what he heard, her name seemed to be Chen Wenwen.

...Wouldn't it be bad for eyesight to read under the sun? Lu Mingfei muttered to himself and looked to the other side. The petite, pretty girl who looked like a junior high school student had a calm expression, but he could still tell that she was a little nervous.

Lu Mingfei knew this person, the little piano-playing beauty Liu Miaomiao. He had often heard her name when he was in junior high school.

As he watched, Lu Mingfei suddenly panicked. The people around him were either trying to get to know each other or looking for someone to hang out with. Even Liu Miaomiao, who was obviously not very talkative, was approached by someone to talk to her... He looked around and it seemed that he was the only one who had nothing to do.

Lu Mingfei thought for two seconds and gave up the idea of ​​trying to find someone to know. This was just his personality, so he could just forget about trying to please anyone.

Suddenly, he perked up a little, because he seemed to see the pretty girl who had just flashed past the school gate.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that after meeting Sister Chu and the Little Troublemaker, no girl would be beautiful enough for him to pay attention to. After all, one of them had been beautiful since childhood, and the other was quirky, giving people both headaches and love.

However, when he saw the beautiful girl jumping out of the Mercedes-Benz, waving goodbye to her father the mine owner with pride in her eyes, and then stepping into the campus with pride, he couldn't help but take another look.

At the age of fifteen, Su Xiaoqiang was not as tall as she is today, and her figure was not as graceful as it is today. However, she was still tall enough to be admired by those girls who were only fourteen or fifteen years old and had just started to develop.

She had been proud for fifteen years, so the first thing she did when she entered the classroom was to look at the boys in the class with a scrutinizing gaze, like a little queen, looking forward to their astonished looks.

But she was disappointed. Two girls who were not as good as her arrived in the classroom before her. Most of the boys were paying attention to them, or they went to talk to that rich second-generation guy named Zhao. No one noticed the arrival of the little goddess...

It seems that there is one. Su Xiaoqiang suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a boy looking at her. She turned her head to look, and the boy suddenly avoided her gaze.

Apart from Sister Chu and the little troublemaker, Lu Mingfei had never seen such a beautiful girl. What? You said that Lu's mother and the weird aunt Su Xiaoyan are also very beautiful? It's so funny, are they still considered girls?
She was so pretty, like a goddess. He couldn't help but praise her in his heart: "...She must be the beauty of our new class."

Seeing the girl like a fairy suddenly looking at him, Lu Mingfei turned his head nervously, and as luck would have it, his eyes fell on the girl in the white dress.

Then, by coincidence, the angel-like girl seemed to have heard his praise, but she looked furious, and it was obvious that she had mistaken the person he was praising...
