Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 264 Mission: 05-1 Admission Season

In the blink of an eye, it was summer vacation. Although he had a girlfriend in name only, Lu Mingfei felt that his life hadn't changed much.

The biggest change occurred on the day of the literature club reunion. Zhao Menghua's attempt to test Lu Mingfei by offering to treat them to dinner was inexplicably fulfilled. While Lu Mingfei was nominally the "treater," Su Xiaoqiang didn't actually let him contribute a cent. The purpose of the treat, of course, was to let everyone know that Lu Mingfei was Su Xiaoqiang's responsibility—she always made such a grand gesture.

There were fewer people at the dinner party than at the movie, but surprisingly, Nero also suddenly returned to join the party, and Su Xiaoqiang generously let her in. Remembering Nero's joke about teleporting, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but suspect that she had actually been secretly watching the confession scene while saying she had left. He even suspected that Nero was actually inextricably linked to the so-called Kassel News Department - otherwise how would she know the head of the News Department had access to Norma's database?

Unfortunately, he couldn't produce any evidence. There was nothing he could do. Since she loved looking at Lu Mingfei, he had to let her see. After all, Lu Mingfei owed her something. Incidentally, after the meal, Lu Mingfei asked Nero indirectly on QQ, and Nero's answer at the time was clearly playing dumb.

Lu Mingfei also asked another question that concerned him: what should he do with his girlfriend. When they first met, Nero had said, "Say goodbye to ordinary life," and Lu Mingfei had assumed that mixed-bloods couldn't date ordinary people. Nero, however, gave him a quote from the principal: "As an S-class, marrying another mixed-blood would be dangerous. I do recommend you find an ordinary girl, but it's best not to tell her the truth about the world."

Now Lu Mingfei had no excuse to refuse.

During this dinner, Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang were considered to have reconciled. However, considering they'd never been on good terms, it could be said they'd finally reached a point where they could no longer hold each other against each other. Although Zhao Menghua seemed resentful that Lu Mingfei had stolen his limelight, he swallowed his pride and privately apologized to Lu Mingfei.

Meaning "I'm sorry for what I did before, but we should still be enemies from now on." This change reminded Lu Mingfei of what the man who called himself Lu Mingze said. When everyone looked at Lu Mingfei differently from before, it seemed that the so-called power had really come into his hands.

But then Lu Mingfei's life returned to its usual pace. He spent his days lazing around at school, running errands for his aunt after school, and occasionally visiting an internet cafe. Now he no longer needed to piggyback on other people's internet fees, but once he picked up the mouse, he was still as powerful as ever.

There were two major changes. First, Lu Mingfei had his own phone and computer, so his girlfriend could always contact him. Su Xiaoqiang had originally planned to give them to him, but Lu Mingfei bought them himself because he didn't have any romantic feelings for Su Xiaoqiang and naturally felt uncomfortable accepting too much kindness from someone else.

But while Su Xiaoqiang said he needed to be able to contact him at any time, the actual contact wasn't frequent. Unlike Chen Wenwen, who was insecure and constantly needed communication, Su Xiaoqiang said she didn't need coaxing, and she really didn't. Every time she messaged Lu Mingfei, it was a simple, direct request like "Lu Mingfei, getting ready to go out, where to go today." Just looking at their chat history, they didn't seem like a couple, but more like a lady and her servant. This was the second change.

However, when Su Xiaoqiang asked Lu Mingfei out, it wasn't really to order him around; it was a serious date, or rather, a "bonding exchange." This young lady took Lu Mingfei to nearly every part of the city, from the shopping streets to the cinema to the aquarium—places he'd never go on his own—and they'd spend entire days there. Only at these moments did Lu Mingfei truly feel like he had a girlfriend, and he realized that Su Xiaoqiang was actually quite different from how she'd described herself; sometimes, she could be quite girly.

Oh yeah, and playing games. Su Xiaoqiang now occasionally plays StarCraft 2v2 with Lu Mingfei. This is the only event during their date where Lu Mingfei can dominate, and it seems he can still dominate for a long time.

It took a month for my uncle and aunt to find out about this. Two days after the Gaokao, Su Xiaoqiang and her driver came to visit, and Lu Mingfei couldn't stop them. Lu Mingze recognized Su Xiaoqiang as their school's "little angel" and was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

In reality, Su Xiaoqiang was too overbearing, and her aunt wasn't particularly fond of him. She was a little worried that Lu Mingze would be outshined in the future. Her uncle, however, seemed quite happy. After a few drinks, he dragged Lu Mingfei to the rooftop to admire the moon. He smoked and rambled incoherently for a long time, saying things like, "We Lu family members are really great." Another month passed, and it was almost time to register for school. Su Xiaoqiang had previously checked the official website for Cassell College and learned that it was a fraternal school of the University of Chicago and was nearby, so she desperately wanted to get into the University of Chicago. Perhaps it was a little bit of a burst of energy that finally made her successful.

So she would go to the United States with Lu Mingfei, taking the same flight, and she even helped Lu Mingfei upgrade his cabin.

Because they were all new students at Kassel Academy, Lu Mingfei asked Nero when he planned to leave before leaving, but he replied, "I have something else to do." Lu Mingfei didn't know what it was, but he didn't ask.

At the airport, Su Xiaoqiang burst out laughing when he saw Lu Mingfei carrying so many bags that two suitcases couldn't even hold all of them.

"The way you travel fits my stereotype."

She even laughed so hard that she had to hold her stomach. Although Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, he didn't say anything. He just explained, "My aunt is just pretending. She just cares about me."

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Su Xiaoqiang straightened his expression in an instant. His ability to instantly release and retract was truly astonishing. "But you even have to bring your own blanket... Does your aunt think you're the Princess and the Pea?"

"Well... who knows?" Lu Mingfei wanted to scratch his head again, but he couldn't free his hands, so his expression was a little broken: "Have you checked in your luggage? Where is the window?"

"I'll take you there."

Su Xiaoqiang took two steps forward, turned around and smiled again: "Do you need my help?"

Lu Mingfei refused firmly: "It's okay, I can handle it!"

"Then you do your best."

However, Lu Mingfei, who was following behind Su Xiaoqiang at this moment, seemed more like the young lady's male servant.
