Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 483: A Youthful Return

Lu Mingfei helped Uesugi Nanryusei up, let her stand with his shoulder, and picked up the clogs with the straps broken to check. The girl in kimono looked at him quietly, just like she had just accepted her fate and cooperated.

After simply repairing the broken straps, he suddenly smiled: "I thought you were going to pretend that you didn't exist."

"Please, please don't mention it again." Uesugi Nanryusei turned her still rosy face away. She didn't know how many times she had lost her composure in front of this man today.

"So what?" Lu Mingfei put the barely usable clogs back on Uesugi Nanryusei, "What do you want to say by chasing me?"

This considerate and even somewhat intimate action made Uesugi Nanryusei stunned for a moment. Although she had the tabi to cover her feet, the numbing feeling when the other person's fingers slid across the soles of her feet almost made her lose her balance.

Just like the waist, which would make him giggle for a long time if touched, the feet are also the place that Uesugi Nanryusei absolutely cannot let others touch.

In ancient China, there was a custom that women's feet should not be accidentally seen by their husbands, and Japan also learned this custom in a similar way.

At this point, no one cares about such customs anymore, but the Eight Sheqi Families can be considered as a long-standing mixed-race family. They have retained some traditional customs and also have regulations on the dress of women in the family.

Of course, the more Uesugi hated these useless rules that were nothing more than annoying, the less his daughters cared about them.

But even though he didn't care, the feeling of being touched still made Uesugi Nanryusei feel a little embarrassed... although he felt more embarrassed than blushing.

But compared to what I just saw her doing shameless things, this is really nothing.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Uesugi Nanryusei who was blushing, and waved his hand in front of her with a puzzled look on his face: "Hey, come back to your senses."

Uesugi Nanryu finally came back to her senses from her shame. She blushed and looked at Lu Mingfei, trying to look calmer and asked, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, I was distracted just now. What are you asking?"

Lu Mingfei looked at her with amusement. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Uesugi family, at certain moments, this Miss Uesugi behaved more like a young girl than her younger sister.

So he repeated it again: "I asked, what are you going to say when you catch up?"

Uesugi Nanryusei was stunned for a moment, lowered his head to hide his blushing face and said: "...I am here to see you off."

Lu Mingfei really wanted to tell her that the way you look at her blushing doesn’t look like you are just giving something away.

He chuckled and said, "Why? Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"

"What do you mean?" Uesugi Nanryusei looked up and asked in confusion.

Lu Mingfei smiled again: "Both sisters have gifts, but you don't. If it were me, I would also feel quite disappointed."

"...Please stop teasing me." Uesugi Nanryusei was a little embarrassed, but she also admitted that she did feel a little uncomfortable in her heart just now.

But she also understood that the reason why her sisters received gifts was because the boy in front of them was their lover. Although this relationship seemed a bit twisted, and it was actually quite twisted, it was the fact.

She had no reason to receive any Christmas gifts, so no matter how upset she felt, she could only hide it to herself. She didn't want to be considered an unreasonable woman.

"Really don't want it?" Lu Mingfei looked at her jokingly, holding the third gift of the day. "The situation just now was obviously not suitable for you. I was still struggling with how to give it to you if you didn't catch up."

Uesugi Nanryusei was completely stunned, and her pretty rosy face was covered with a hazy yet brilliant light, which enhanced her beauty.

She stared blankly at the gift that seemed to be prepared for her. It was a transparent crystal ball. It often appeared on the gift racks in shopping malls when Christmas was approaching. In such a crystal ball, there was often a snowy scene or Santa Claus riding on an elk, adding a festive touch to Christmas.

If it’s more high-end, they might prepare a lighted platform, which will have a gorgeous light show when turned on.

However, the crystal ball that Lu Mingfei prepared was obviously not one of those common items in the mall. It was glowing by itself. Because the scene inside the crystal ball was a gorgeous and fascinating starry sky.

Uesugi Nanryusei felt that her breathing stagnated for a moment, so when the other party handed the crystal ball to her, she subconsciously reached out to take it.

Unlike what she imagined, the crystal ball felt warm in her hand, as if it was held close to Lu Mingfei's body, and it also had his body temperature and scent. Uesugi Nanryu subconsciously sniffed it, and it was a very comfortable, reassuring scent.

"I saw the starry sky somewhere else and felt it necessary to let other people see it, so I made this." Lu Mingfei said. Don't ask him why he made this thing. The answer is that he will do it when he needs it.

"It's so beautiful..." Uesugi Nanryusei said what anyone would say when seeing this starry sky.

She murmured, "Does a starry sky like this really exist?"

When something is too beautiful, people often suspect it is fake. The starry sky in the crystal ball in front of me is so beautiful that it seems fake.

The most beautiful starry sky that Uesugi Nanryu remembers was when she was in Kadori Town. At that time, she was just a junior high school girl, still at an age where she was curious about what kind of person she would become in the future.

In her memory, the starry sky in the countryside is always so bright, with stars illuminating the night sky, the croaking of frogs from the farmland in her ears, and her sister smiling at her.

Uesugi Nanryusei felt that he might never see a starry sky more beautiful than that night.

But when Lu Mingfei said that the beautiful starry sky in the crystal ball that looked fake was actually real, if he hadn't been the one who said it, Uesugi Nanryusei probably wouldn't have believed it.

Lu Mingfei did not answer, but walked to the French window in the corridor, looked at the long snowy night outside and sighed softly: "It's a pity that it snowed, otherwise you would have seen it too."

The distance between Kuroishi Residence and Tokyo is only a hundred kilometers, so the night sky that can be seen there can also be seen here. But just as he said, the strong wind and heavy snow obscured the night view that he had carefully prepared.

Uesugi Nanryu followed Lu Mingfei and stood in front of the French window, looking out at the snowstorm that seemed to never stop. She looked at the dark sky in a daze, as if wondering what the beautiful starry sky that Lu Mingfei talked about looked like.

But she was not that curious because she had already seen the beauty of the night sky.

She held the crystal ball close to her chest, wanting to keep the body temperature and breath in it forever. She looked down and saw her beautiful face reflected in the crystal ball, as if the entire night sky was surrounding her. Uesugi's face became even redder, because according to the Christmas tradition, people would give gifts to each other, rather than asking or accepting unilaterally.

Naturally, she also prepared a Christmas gift for Lu Mingfei, but he was not around. She thought he was still in Southern Jiangsu, so she wanted to do the same as her sisters and ask them to pass it on to her after they returned.

However, receiving a gift but not returning the favor promptly was clearly not the behavior for an heir to the Uesugi family.

"I want to apologize to you." Lu Mingfei said suddenly.

"...What?" Uesugi Nanryusei, who was still thinking about how to respond, was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why he suddenly apologized.

Lu Mingfei still looked at the snowstorm outside the window and said softly: "Although it is not the direct cause, I am probably partly responsible for the coming of this snowstorm."

Uesugi Nanryusei stared at his profile intently, and felt as if every curve of his face was firmly memorized in her heart.

Now she was even more confused about what Lu Mingfei was talking about, but it was not difficult for her to understand that what Lu Mingfei said just now about being in a hurry probably meant that he had to deal with the snowstorm.

“See you later.” Lu Mingfei turned and left, waving his hand to the girl in kimono with his back to her. “If I’m lucky, after I solve the source of the blizzard, maybe I can see the starry sky. You can look forward to it.”

"Please... please wait a moment, Lord Zero!" Uesugi Nanryusei chased after him again. She felt her steps were so firm, and this time her actions were no longer subconscious.

Lord Zero? Lu Mingfei paused when he heard this obviously respectful title for him, and looked back, only to find that the kimono girl threw herself into his arms.

Before he could say anything, the girl's soft lips, which were trembling slightly, touched the corner of his mouth.

Uesugi Nanryusei rushed out quickly and left quickly. She reached out to wipe her lips. Her face was already red, but she was still explaining hurriedly: "Please don't misunderstand, I'm just returning the Christmas gift."

Just now, her younger sisters all responded with kisses, so as the older sister, she did the same, and it seemed that no one could say she was wrong.

Lu Mingfei was stunned by Miss Uesugi's boldness. In fact, he could sense the complex feelings that Uesugi Nanryusei had for him, as she admired him but did not dare to get too close to him due to ethics and her two younger sisters.

He also prepared a gift for her. Lu Mingfei wanted to find a time to talk to her later, just like he did with Su Enxi last night.

But he did not expect that Uesugi Nanryusei's actions tonight would be so bold that he felt a little at a loss.

Lu Mingfei looked at the girl in kimono who turned her red face to the side and dared not look at him, and scratched his head in confusion: "If you don't want people to misunderstand you, then don't return a gift that will cause misunderstanding..."

Uesugi Nanryusei blushed and wanted to explain something, but she didn't have the chance to say it. The boy in front of her picked her up, a little roughly, but gently, and pushed her against the wall.

Lu Mingfei lifted her chin, forcing the kimono girl, whose face was red as if dripping blood, to look at him: "Since you choose to return the gift in this way, I will not stop until I am satisfied."

Uesugi Nanryusei wanted to turn her face away, but having lost the power of her bloodline, she was now just a little white rabbit waiting to be stripped naked and eaten up.

She closed her eyes and sighed tremblingly: "...Please have mercy."

Lu Mingfei was not polite and kissed the girl in kimono, whose lips were much younger than her sisters'. The girl in gorgeous kimono responded awkwardly. Although she was the eldest daughter, she was obviously inferior to her two sisters in this aspect.

Lu Mingfei, who was receiving his own gift, was suddenly stunned. The tightness and roundness he felt in his hand was no worse than the one he had taken before.

He thought he was a very polite boy. Kissing was kissing, and he would not do anything. Especially to Uesugi Nanrui, a girl who was so awkward in responding to kisses.

Lu Mingfei realized that it was the girl who gave him the gift who pulled his hand and brought it to her chest. He was once again surprised by her boldness.

"Lord Zero, please promise me one thing." Uesugi Nanryusei, whose clothes were half undressed again, suddenly broke away from Lu Mingfei, but still held his hand tightly, as if he wanted his body temperature and breath to remain on it forever.

"What is it?" Lu Mingfei would not refuse the girl at this time.

She panted slightly, her face still rosy, but her eyes were firm: "Please, don't tell Wangshu and Eri about our relationship for the time being."

Lu Mingfei looked at her and chuckled, then reached out to brush away the hair that fell on her face: "You're not embarrassed in front of me, but you're embarrassed in front of them?"

"Please stop teasing me." Uesugi Nanryusei also insisted, "I am the eldest sister in the family, and I need to have my own dignity... If they see me like this, I will feel ashamed as a sister."

Lu Mingfei smiled silently, lifted the chin of the girl who had lost her dignity in front of him and kissed her softly. The girls around him were all stubborn in their own way, but they were also cute in their stubbornness.

"You, you haven't answered me yet." Uesugi Nanryusei's face turned even redder.

"This kind of thing..." Lu Mingfei looked at her with amusement, and then suddenly paused.

He turned his head and stared out the window. A flash of lightning illuminated the entire Tokyo, and in the distance, a black shadow was slowly flowing. The destructive power contained in it could easily tear apart this prosperous city.

"It seems we can't delay any longer." Lu Mingfei said, retracting his hand and re-tying Uesugi Nanryusei's open kimono.

After tidying up the girl's messy hair, Lu Mingfei kissed her smooth forehead lightly, just like he had done to her two younger sisters before.

"I will probably have to answer this question later." Lu Mingfei chuckled and comforted her. The latter naturally saw the changes outside. "Go and have a good rest, and then prepare for a white Christmas."

Uesugi Nanryusei didn't know how to answer now, he could only say like a wife sending her husband to the battlefield: "Please, come back soon..."

"Fortunately, it's not my good fortune in martial arts." Lu Mingfei chuckled, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
