Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 263 Mission: 04-9 Double Confession
To be honest, the tone of Su Xiaoqiang's words just now didn't sound like a confession, but rather like a marriage robbery, and his attitude could be said to be quite tough.

Hearing Lu Mingfei's answer, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you doubting my judgment?"

"Uh, this..."

Lu Mingfei didn't want to admit this, but it was indeed true.

"Humph."

Su Xiaoqiang glared at him again and said coldly, "Don't you understand the situation? Do you know what others will think of you if you admit to a private university with this amount of scholarship?"

"Is it a piece of cake?" Lu Mingfei said with a guilty conscience. He really felt like he had found a piece of cake. After living as an ordinary person for eighteen years, suddenly finding out that his parents were actually superheroes was probably what it felt like.

Just imagine, a couple with superpowers, traveling the world as archaeologists, bravely fighting dragons that threaten humanity in times of crisis—my god, that's so cool. It's a shame that Lu Mingfei kept these things to himself and couldn't tell anyone else. His classmates also had no idea that Lu Mingfei had such amazing parents.

"It's called 'gold will always shine.' No one will bring up your old transcripts anymore, saying 'the exam-oriented education system can't discover your talents.'"

Su Xiaoqiang laughed self-deprecatingly as he spoke. "Why am I telling you all this? Accept or reject? It's just one sentence. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

Lu Mingfei was a little confused: "But the college I want to go to is——"

"Isn't it just studying in the United States? I can just go with you." Su Xiaoqiang said nonchalantly, "There are so many private universities in the United States. If you spend money, you can always get into one."

Owning a mine at home makes one speak with confidence. Su Xiaoqiang was not bothered to be stingy about this and said very bluntly: "Others who want to inherit my family's mine don't have this opportunity yet."

"—But I still don't understand." Lu Mingfei shook his head, clearing the water and becoming a little more sober, and asked hesitantly, "What exactly do you like about me? You're not that kind of person... and haven't we been at odds for the past three years?"

Lu Mingfei was quite principled when it came to relationships: if he didn't like her, he didn't like her. We only talked about feelings, nothing else. He couldn't really say he liked Su Xiaoqiang yet, so he didn't say he accepted her.

"It's an honor to be with you." Su Xiaoqiang chuckled. "You don't think my love for Zhao Menghua is some 'romantic,' girly kind of thing, do you? I'm very utilitarian. My dad always talks to me about the mines at home, hinting that I should find a boyfriend who can help me keep the mines. After a while, even the thought of romance becomes impossible."

Lu Mingfei finally felt relieved after hearing this. Cassel was a concentration center for abnormal humans. After entering, one would either stay on campus as a professor or fly around the world on missions. There was no way he would inherit the Su family's mineral resources. Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang, his eyes slowly calming down, and his tone becoming more steady. "Then if I said I would stay in the United States to work, would you change your mind?"

"I didn't realize you had such a long-term plan."

Su Xiaoqiang folded his arms, looked up at the ceiling, and was silent for a moment: "Does this mean that you want an 'upper-class status' instead of being a local rich man? Sure, I'm almost falling in love with you."

Lu Mingfei was suddenly at a loss for words. However, Su Xiaoqiang's eyes had sharpened, and she said seriously, "You don't have to accept it here, but I've decided that I won't give up until you find a girlfriend. When you return to the theater, I'll confess to you again. I don't believe you won't accept it."

Lu Mingfei could understand Su Xiaoqiang's eyes. If he rejected her again in the theater, Su Xiaoqiang would chase her to America and confess his love again. And she had actually guessed correctly: in front of so many people, Lu Mingfei wouldn't have the courage to refuse. Even if he later said it was just for Su Xiaoqiang's sake, to prevent her from falling in love twice in one day, he wouldn't refuse her in person.

In this food chain, even with the backing of an American university, Lu Mingfei was still a small fish. So he turned his head away helplessly and said, "I'm boring and can't charm girls."

"You'd better not treat me like a girl and try to coax me." Su Xiaoqiang smiled and patted Lu Mingfei on the back: "Stand up, be strong. If someone doesn't know, they would think I'm forcing you."

In Lu Mingfei's opinion, this was indeed the case: "There is one thing I must state in advance, I haven't fallen in love with you yet."

"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time. I should just ask the old man to help me prepare for studying abroad."

While Su Xiaoqiang was on the phone, he naturally took Lu Mingfei's arm, but the fact that they didn't get too close was a real help to Lu Mingfei. Even though Lu Mingfei didn't like Su Xiaoqiang, he felt a little flattered. But it was more of a feeling of discomfort than comfort; Lu Mingfei felt his steps were stiff.

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked yet." After Su Xiaoqiang finished the call, he answered several times and then turned to look at Lu Mingfei: "As for those crazy interview questions at Kassel College, how did you answer them so that they passed?"

Lu Mingfei already had the answer to this question in mind: "Isn't there a saying that mentally ill people may be much more talented than ordinary people in certain specific aspects? They are probably looking for a psychopath. I'm afraid I am one of them."

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoqiang's answer did not satisfy Lu Mingfei: "Really? It seems that you are very secretive about your madness. Doesn't that only leave you with genius?"

"Well, probably. Although I don't see any particular talent in myself other than playing games."

"You need a good head for the kind of game you play."

"Is that so?"

With that, the two of them returned to the entrance of the theater. Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei and said, "Be a gentleman."

Fine, if he wants to open the door, then he can open it. Lu Mingfei is no longer afraid of Zhao Menghua—it seems he’s not even afraid of his girlfriend anymore.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Mingfei pushed open the door. Light from the hall poured into the small screening room, attracting many people's attention.

Seeing that it was two people coming back, many people were surprised and said "Huh?". Then they noticed Su Xiaoqiang holding Lu Mingfei's hand, and the hall was filled with gasps, even the movie that had already started was barely covered.

"It's okay, let's continue watching the movie," Lu Mingfei said. This calmness made him seem even more impressive to others.

"Well, we just confirmed our relationship."

Su Xiaoqiang pulled Lu Mingfei and sat back to his original seat.

In the quiet screening room, a splash of water suddenly appeared.
