Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 444 Scars
The door of the hotel was knocked again, and Rona, who had just taken a nap, was instantly awakened. Still a little dazed, she put on her coat, got out of bed, opened the door, and woke up instantly after seeing who was outside the door.

"Did you guys leave anything behind?" She asked curiously as she looked at Lu Mingfei and his schoolmate who had returned.

Lu Mingfei entered the room and looked around. It was the same as when they left. Xia Mi followed him in and sniffed with her delicate little nose, as if she wanted to find her little sister by the smell.

But unfortunately, she could not smell anything in the room except the smell of the takeout boxes and some burnt smell.

Lu Mingfei, who had gained nothing, looked at Luo Na who was confused and said, "Nothing strange happened, right?"

"Strange things? What do you mean?" Rona looked at him puzzled.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Xia Mi, who shook her head. He sighed and looked at Luo Na again: "Nothing, let's go back. Remember to tell me if you encounter anything strange."

"But you have to tell me what this strange thing is?" Rona suddenly felt it difficult to communicate with them.

Lu Mingfei paused as he was about to answer, and looked at the broken copper sheet on the bedside cabinet. He reached out and picked it up to have a look. It was still warm, but the air conditioner wasn't even on in the room, and Rona probably didn't like it enough to hold it while sleeping.

He sensed it and found that the faint spirit that had previously resided in it had disappeared.

Rona suddenly understood what the strange thing they were referring to was, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Is there anything strange about this thing?"

She covered up the burn marks on the carpet, and she wanted the loss to be paid by the college. Figel had told her before that their company was an affiliated institution of an aristocratic college.

"Nothing." Lu Mingfei put the broken copper piece back to its original place. "This is an antique, but it has no value. Remember to keep it safe."

"Ah? It's really an antique?" Rona was a little surprised.

Although in various adventure movies, adventurers from Great America can take away cultural relics from other countries at will, but now is different from before, she doesn't want to be approached by someone as soon as she leaves the hotel.

"This thing is not valuable. If you like it, just keep it." Lu Mingfei glanced at her and said goodbye again, "Okay, we're leaving. You should get some rest early."

After seeing them off again, Rona sat back on the bed in confusion. She did not tell anyone about the copper sheet that suddenly caught fire. But she always felt that there was something behind their conversation.

"...Sister, if it were you, would you feel resentful?" A faint voice seemed to ring in her heart.

……

After leaving Rona's room, Lu Mingfei did not leave in a hurry. He went upstairs with the room card given to him by Lucrecia and checked the surveillance.

The hotel's surveillance cameras naturally cannot be viewed at will, but Lucrecia did not trust the hotel's security, so she installed another set of surveillance cameras. The corridor where Rona's room was located happened to be in a corner of the surveillance screen.

Luo Na really had not left the room, but Xia Mi didn't think much of it. A dragon king wanted to hide herself, so how could a mere human surveillance system catch her?

Lu Mingfei also understood this, but they had just come to find Rona, and then Constance went to find Xia Mi. If he said there was no connection between the two, even Fenrir probably wouldn't believe it.

However, Constance is currently quite wary of them and will not suddenly jump out to explain the relationship between them.

Lu Mingfei did not pursue the matter further. Just as he said, they and Constance would meet again eventually.

Xia Mi went back to Roman Nibelungen, saying that she had something to ask Fenrir. However, since Fenrir was currently in a state very similar to that of Husky, it would probably be difficult for her to ask anything.

Lu Mingfei really wanted to go with her, but unfortunately he had other things to do.

Although it was no longer raining, the weather was still cold. The clouds that had just been blown away gathered again, and the clear night sky was once again blocked. Back to the bottom of the Regent Hotel, the black Maybach was still parked in the same place.

Lu Mingfei opened the passenger door and got in. The warm cabin and the cold air formed a huge contrast. Even though he was not afraid of the cold, he still liked warmer places.

Chu Yuwei in the driver's seat turned her head to look at her. The soft light from inside the car shone on her face, making her usually expressionless face appear a little gentler.

"What happened?" There was still no change in her expression, but the worry in her tone could not be hidden.

Lu Mingfei looked at her and smiled: "Nothing, Xia Mi's little sister came to see her and they had a little conflict."

Chu Yuwei looked at him silently and did not ask any more questions.

The moment the sky turned red just now, it was as if some great will swept through, causing her soul to tremble. Jun Yan roared in her soul, uncontrollably, as if he wanted to bloom and worship someone.

She vaguely understood why Lu Mingfei didn't let her go with him. The flame that made her so proud might be a burden in front of the "little sister" he mentioned...

The people next to him didn't speak for a long time. Lu Mingfei turned his head and met Sister Chu's calm eyes, which seemed to be burning with fire.

He sighed: "Don't do anything stupid, this matter is different from the past, maybe it can be solved without any action."

“…You also said it’s possible.” Chu Yuyi looked at Lu Mingfei and said calmly, “It’s better to be fully prepared than not to be prepared.”

Lu Mingfei also knew that the sister was unhappy. She was almost completely excluded from the Izanami incident. Putting himself in her shoes, Lu Mingfei also felt that he could not accept it.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't want her to set foot in dangerous places. Izanami, who had been defeated, no longer seemed to be a threat, but the ability of mental parasitism still made Lu Mingfei feel scared.

This time, Constantine didn't seem as extreme as Izanami, but the title of the King of Bronze and Fire meant that Chu Yuzhen had no solution against her. She also had the Omega body that didn't exist in the old world, and the mobile armor made based on the Omega body would probably not have any good results against her.

Izanami looks down on the kings, but in modern times, Constantine, who has obtained the Omega body, is definitely a more troublesome existence than her.

Fortunately, apart from showing great hostility towards Xia Mi and Fenrir, Constantine has not shown much danger so far, and is a person who is more suitable for communication than Izanami.

...But unfortunately, the conflict between her and Xia Mi could not be resolved for the time being.

Lu Mingfei leaned out of the car window and looked upstairs. Of course, he couldn't see the window of Rona's room from here. However, he could also imagine that his netizen was holding the broken copper piece and couldn't sleep. In the old world, Rona's isotope was the King of Bronze and Fire. But Xia Mi confirmed that she was just an ordinary person in the new world whose bloodline was about to fade away.

No matter what role she played in this incident, Lu Mingfei sincerely hoped that she could be safe, just as he hoped that the girls he liked could be safe.

Lu Mingfei reached out and held Chu Yumei's hand, which was tightly gripping the steering wheel. The heat in his hand made him feel the unrest in his sister's heart. He smiled softly, leaned forward, and kissed his sister on her lips as she frowned and thought about something.

Chu Yuyi was suddenly startled. This sudden kiss disrupted her thoughts and made her unable to think about what happened just now. She was still a little uncomfortable at this point. It was not that she didn't like intimacy, but she just didn't know how to respond.

"I'll take care of everything." Lu Mingfei lifted the hair that fell by the sister's ear, "You really don't have to worry this time. The other party is a very easy person to talk to."

...As long as the King of Earth and Mountains is not mentioned, he added softly in his heart.

Lu Mingfei returned to the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt: "Let's go to your house and have a seat, so you don't have to worry about this and that anymore."

Chu Yuyi looked at him and said, "Mom is at home."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment and reached out to unfasten his seat belt: "Then let's do it next time."

Chu Yuyi added: "But she drank too much last night and forgot to turn on the air conditioner. She caught a cold and is resting now. She probably doesn't have the energy to entertain you."

Lu Mingfei sat back down and looked at her sideways. Chu Yuyi stopped talking, started the car and drove home. Lu Mingfei saw that although her face had been expressionless for a long time, she was clearly smiling in her eyes.

As he watched, Lu Mingfei started laughing himself.

……

"Xixi is so nice. Sometimes I really think how nice it would be if you were my daughter." With a fever-reducing patch on her head, Su Xiaoyan wiped her nose and drank the hot soup that Suxi brought to her.

Susie quickly handed over the cold medicine and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Your last name is Su, and mine is Su. We are from the same clan, so how can we not be considered family? Come, take some of this medicine. When you get better from your cold, I will learn to cook with you."

She was obviously an elder, but when she took medicine, she was like a child and needed to be coaxed. Susie remembered that Chu Yuyi once told her that her grandmother said her mother was a heartless girl.

But she was lucky and pretty, so she was loved by her parents when she was young, loved by her husband when she grew up, and loved by her daughter in the future.

Susie couldn't help but admire the luck of this classmate's mother. Her biological daughter hadn't returned home yet, and no one knew where she had gone in the heavy rain. But her own "daughter" from the same clan had come to pay respect to her first.

Seeing the auntie swallowing the medicine with a frown on her face, Susie quickly picked up the syrup on the other side and said, "Come on, auntie, this one is not bitter, it's very sweet, drink it too..."

When Lu Mingfei and Chu Yuyi came in, they saw this harmonious scene. Lu Mingfei shouted in his heart that this was a good opportunity, and took advantage of the moment when the strange aunt in the living room was stopped by Susie, and quietly crossed the living room.

He was already familiar with this place, so he went into another reception room next to the living room, and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the people inside.

"Why are you sneaking here?" Chen Motong looked at him and asked curiously.

Lu Mingfei looked her up and down and said, "I think I should be the one asking you this question. Don't you think sneaking around is a good way to describe the way you are now?"

The latter scooped a spoonful of the watermelon in her hand, put it into her mouth and chewed it for a few times. Lu Mingfei was close and could feel that the watermelon was still chilled. Eating chilled watermelon in the winter was inappropriate, but when she thought about it, she had eaten ice cream in the winter before, and now it was just watermelon.

Chen Motong muttered, "I'm trying to eliminate the unstable factor to prevent that aunt from secretly eating when she gets up to drink water in the middle of the night, which would make her cold worse."

Since that’s what she said, it seems that the weird aunt has already eaten secretly. No wonder the two girls who stayed at home looked like they were on guard against thieves.

They were already called a young girl, so this weird aunt must be a reckless person, which Lu Mingfei and Chu Yuyi knew very well. She had suffered a lot because of her greed, and they also suffered together.

“Would you like some?” Chen Motong tilted his head to look at Lu Mingfei and patted the other half of the watermelon beside him. “I thought that my appetite would be enough to finish it, but I think I overestimated myself.”

Lu Mingfei wanted to refuse, after all, eating iced watermelon in winter was a bit stupid. But then he thought, he had done even stupider things like eating ice cream in winter, but it was just a watermelon.

"I've persuaded Mom to go to bed, you can come out now..." Chu Yuwei pushed the door open and paused, "What are you doing?"

"It's just to eliminate the unstable factor that makes Aunt Yan's cold worse." Lu Mingfei scooped a mouthful of watermelon and put it in his mouth, "Do you want to eat it?"

"...No, you guys continue." Chu Yuwei thought about it and realized there was no way she could join them, so she closed the door and left.

After she left, Chen Motong suddenly laughed out loud. It was a very happy laugh, the kind that one couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Mingfei gave her a strange look.

Chen Motong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes that seemed to have flowed from laughing too much, shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just felt like laughing when I thought about doing stupid things with someone else."

"I'm not being stupid. I just don't want to waste it." Lu Mingfei glanced at her.

Chen Motong smiled slightly, tilted his head and looked at him. He did not continue to explain, but just smiled innocently, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Back in the living room, Susie invited them to the dining room. Susie naturally cooked today's dinner, without Auntie Weird's participation, and Chu Yuwei, who had just returned, didn't help much either.

After dinner, Chen Motong patted her slightly bulging belly and praised Susie, saying that she would definitely become a good wife and mother in the future. The latter blushed and hit her lightly.

The girls didn't use much strength when they were playing, but Chen Motong suddenly stumbled. Lu Mingfei, who was behind her, immediately reached out to help her up, and after helping her up, he found that her face was frighteningly pale.

There was a deep red color flowing out from the front of her shirt.
