Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

"Forget it, it's not much money." Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand generously.

"Sister Su is so righteous!" Lu Mingfei immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute. "From now on, whatever your orders, I will go through fire and water for you..."

"I would gladly die ten thousand deaths?" Su Xiaoqiang continued.

"No, I would never go through fire and water for you," Lu Mingfei said, scratching his head. "But helping with chores, taking out the trash, or wiping the blackboard is no problem for me."

"Then what use are you to me!" Su Xiaoqiang was speechless with anger at his sudden change of topic.

"I can also help you with your winter break homework!" Lu Mingfei said.

"You? Help me with my winter break homework?" Su Xiaoqiang sneered. "I didn't realize, Lu Mingfei, that you were such an ungrateful person."

"What makes you say that, heroine?" Lu Mingfei was completely baffled.

"If you do my winter break homework, won't the teacher punish me by making me stand during class when they grade my test?" Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Oh, I get it," Lu Mingfei suddenly realized, clenching his fist, his face full of grief and indignation, "You're saying I'm bad at grades! You wait, I'll definitely become the best student in the class!"

"You're the worst student in the class, yet you can still sleep soundly in class. Don't give me that 'I know I'm ashamed and I'm determined to improve' act!" Su Xiaoqiang was so angry that she laughed.

"I learned my lesson during this winter break, studied hard, and focused on my studies. Now I'm a completely different person!" Lu Mingfei said proudly, straightening his back.

"Oh~" Su Xiaoqiang nodded, her voice drawn out and melodious, with an expression that said, "Keep playing, I'm listening."

Can Lu Mingfei endure this injustice? His abilities have just awakened!

"Come on, let me show you!"

Lu Mingfei casually pulled out a math test paper, walked to the table, sat down, and started writing.

When Su Xiaoqiang first saw Lu Mingfei's decisive actions, she was genuinely taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had truly undergone a complete transformation.

But when you look at how fast he solves the problems, he practically glances at the question and immediately fills in the answer—it's impossible for him to get it right.

The first few multiple-choice questions were relatively simple, so his speed was normal. However, when it came to the later calculation and word problems, Lu Mingfei would still glance at the question and immediately start writing.

Even copying the answers wouldn't be this fast.

Su Xiaoqiang simply sat on Lu Mingfei's bed, playing on her phone while waiting for him.

I'll wait until he finishes writing so I can laugh at him.

In just twenty minutes, Lu Mingfei finished writing a math test and handed it to Su Xiaoqiang: "Look!"

Su Xiaoqiang stood up, but instead of taking the test paper, she reached out and patted Lu Mingfei's head with pity, her face full of maternal compassion: "It's my fault, I've made you so angry."

Huh? This hair feels nice to the touch.

Lu Mingfei: ...

Lu Mingfei slapped Su Xiaoqiang's hand away and shoved the test paper in front of her: "Come on, let's see if you can find a single wrong answer!"

"Sigh, I wanted to save you some face, but you insisted on humiliating yourself." Su Xiaoqiang took the test paper and placed it on the table, then sat down in Lu Mingfei's chair.

Su Xiaoqiang paused for a moment.

Lu Mingfei had been sitting in the chair for twenty minutes, and Su Xiaoqiang naturally felt the lingering warmth of his body.

She then realized that this was the first time in her life she had sat in a chair that a boy had just sat in. Although there was no intimate physical contact, she still felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and her heart raced slightly.

She looked around, trying to distract herself, but Lu Mingfei bent down beside her and looked down at his test paper.

Although they weren't very close, Su Xiaoqiang could clearly see half of his profile when she turned her head.

She had a high nose bridge, long eyelashes, and wispy hair that fell down, the edges of which were a slightly lighter chestnut color under the light.

Su Xiaoqiang abruptly turned her head to the other side—

Damn, how come I never noticed before that this guy was actually quite good-looking?

Taking a deep breath, Su Xiaoqiang turned her head, placed her palm on Lu Mingfei's face, and pushed him away with a look of disgust: "Go away, stay away from me, it's so hot."

"It's winter, big sister." Lu Mingfei complained as he was pushed away, but he didn't come any closer.

After calming her thoughts, Su Xiaoqiang began to look down at Lu Mingfei's exam paper.

However, the more I looked, the more surprised I became.

Her math score wasn't the best in the class, but it was still around 120. After carefully reviewing it, she couldn't find a single mistake.

Especially the last big question, which she usually struggled with, but Lu Mingfei's answer was logically sound and well-organized, clearly the correct answer.

“You…” Su Xiaoqiang stared wide-eyed at Lu Mingfei.

"See? I told you I'm not the same person I used to be," Lu Mingfei said smugly.

"Where did you get the answers to the winter break homework? Give me a copy too!" Su Xiaoqiang exclaimed excitedly. "Quick, quick, I've been wanting to get rid of this lousy homework for ages!"

"I already said this is the result of my hard work!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

"Alright, alright, I believe it's the result of your hard work," Su Xiaoqiang nodded, following Lu Mingfei's words. "So, what's the answer?"

Lu Mingfei: ...

“Stereotypes are terrifying. I did the test right in front of you, and you still don’t believe me,” Lu Mingfei sighed and shook his head. “Not to mention that the winter break homework tests are all set by the teachers themselves, and the answers can’t be leaked. Even if I had the answers, do you think I could memorize them all?”

"Did you really write this yourself?" Su Xiaoqiang stared intently at Lu Mingfei.

"Absolutely true! Genuine! True gold fears no fire!" Lu Mingfei patted his chest, looking smug.

He immediately realized something was wrong.

Su Xiaoqiang was still staring at him, her beautiful big eyes wide open, not so much out of surprise, but more like she was lost in thought.

"Little Heavenly Maiden? Little Heavenly Maiden?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand in front of Su Xiaoqiang.

"Huh?" Su Xiaoqiang seemed to wake up from a dream.

"What's wrong? Are you stunned by my intelligence?" Lu Mingfei said. "I don't remember you being someone with such poor comprehension."

"Go away!" Su Xiaoqiang gently kicked Lu Mingfei's shin. "Stop being so conceited. I just remembered something else."

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"It's a secret," Su Xiaoqiang scoffed.

Lu Mingfei's curiosity was piqued, and he kept pressing for answers, but Su Xiaoqiang refused to give a single one.

The main problem is that she couldn't answer that question.

What did she say? She told Lu Mingfei, "I just suddenly remembered that my dad told me to pay attention to whether you wear colored contact lenses and whether you are very smart and knowledgeable. Now you have shown both of these points, which is why I was stunned."

Pressed by Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't come up with a suitable excuse, so she changed the subject, saying, "Didn't you just say you could help me with my winter break homework? Hurry up and help me with it!"

"No, I can write it for you, but our handwriting is different. My handwriting is nowhere near as good as yours, wouldn't that give us away right away?" Lu Mingfei said earnestly.

Actually, he's just lazy. With his current learning ability, if he carefully observes Su Xiaoqiang's handwriting, he could easily imitate it to a high degree.

"Then hurry up and finish your winter break homework so I can copy it later," Su Xiaoqiang said after thinking for a moment.

“No, copying homework is wrong and will affect one’s grades,” Lu Mingfei shook his head, his face full of sincerity. “I can’t ruin your life.”

Lu Mingfei certainly didn't think that way. Given Su Xiaoqiang's family background, she basically wouldn't need to take the college entrance exam. She would be directly sent to a top university abroad, and her grades wouldn't affect her university admission.

He just wanted to be a little cheeky and tease Su Xiaoqiang, which is part of their daily routine as a bickering couple.

But to his surprise, Su Xiaoqiang actually showed a thoughtful expression after hearing those words.

After a moment, she said seriously, "You're right, then teach me how to write."

Lu Mingfei: ...

Little Fairy, what's wrong with you? I've never seen you work this hard before. It's true I sleep in class and don't like studying, but you also eat snacks, play on your phone, pass notes to me, and argue with me during class! You don't study either!

Why have you suddenly become so eager to learn?

"No, actually I think that copying homework, as a phenomenon that has existed since ancient times, must have some deeper meaning behind it..." Lu Mingfei decided to make amends.

"My dad just got me a new computer, and I heard it runs games incredibly smoothly," Su Xiaoqiang said slowly.

"It would be my honor to tutor you," Lu Mingfei immediately changed his tune.

Su Xiaoqiang's lips curled up.

She certainly didn't like studying, and she didn't want to be tutored, but she was very curious about Lu Mingfei, so she would be happy to take him to her house to observe him if she could take the opportunity.

Once a girl's curiosity is ignited, she will never give up until she finds out the truth.

Just you wait, Lu Mingfei. No matter what secrets you have, I will tear off your veil! Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself.

……

The next day, early in the morning, in the villa area where Su Xiaoqiang's family lived.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the villa area, and Lu Mingfei got out.

He came to tutor Su Xiaoqiang.

After all, Su Xiaoqiang is a girl. What's the point of her going to Lu Mingfei's hotel room, a boy, every day?

Don't worry about the taxi fare; Su Xiaoqiang has already promised to reimburse him.

Following the route he remembered, Lu Mingfei walked towards Su Xiaoqiang's house. As he turned a corner, he saw Su Xiaoqiang running towards him, wearing a fitted light pink tracksuit.

It's clear that her outfit cost a lot of money; it accentuates her figure without hindering her movement, perfectly combining aesthetics and practicality.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang slowly stopped, maintaining a steady breathing rhythm, showing that she often went for morning runs and had good physical strength.

At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang was no longer the peacock-like noble and proud girl she was at school; instead, she was more like a lively and energetic sporty girl.

Her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and her fitted sportswear outlined the girl's slender and graceful body lines. A towel hung on her fair neck, and her nose was slightly sweaty. Because of exercise, her cheeks were healthy and rosy, and her eyes seemed to be filled with morning dew.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Su Xiaoqiang raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her face with a towel: "What are you looking at?"

Lu Mingfei quickly looked away.

"Oh!" Su Xiaoqiang exclaimed in realization. "Oh, you're captivated by me, aren't you? It's alright, there's nothing shameful about being charmed by my beauty!"

Su Xiaoqiang's mood immediately improved.

She still remembers when school started, even though she was the prettiest girl, almost all the boys went to look at Chen Wenwen, who was pretentious and affected, and called her a "literary girl" with an artistic beauty.

Of all these people, she remembered Lu Mingfei the most clearly, because this guy had the audacity to grab her, point at Chen Wenwen, and say, "This must be our class beauty, right?"

Get out of here! Are you blind? The prettiest girl in the whole school is standing right in front of you, and you're pointing at someone else and calling her the class beauty?
