Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

From left to right: Chu Zihang, Su Xi, Su Xiaoqiang, and Lu Mingfei.

The four of them chatted and laughed.

Apart from Chu Zihang, who is a quiet person, the other three are relatively talkative, especially Su Qian and Su Xiaoqiang. One is cheerful and generous, and the other is lively and beautiful. They quickly hit it off.

The two even seemed to have hit it off immediately, and when they started talking, Lu Mingfei couldn't get a word in edgewise, only occasionally exchanging a few words with Chu Zihang.

Of course, Lu Mingfei wasn't really in the mood for chatting right now.

As Chu's "good brother (self-proclaimed)," he felt he couldn't be a third wheel.

At the very least, he should act as a wingman, right?

Although Senior Brother Chu didn't seem to have any feelings for Su Qian, as a good brother, Lu Mingfei felt it was necessary to help him create some opportunities.

What if it happens?

“Senior brother, Senior sister Su,” Lu Mingfei suggested, “why don’t we go play on the Ferris wheel over there?”

Ferris wheels are a popular dating spot.

Although he had never been there before, he had heard his classmates say that the Ferris wheel in this amusement park was very small, only able to seat two people, and was a good place for boys and girls to go on dates.

Then we'll lock Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su inside...hehehe...

Lu Mingfei was impressed with his own cleverness.

“Great! I’ve wanted to ride a Ferris wheel for ages, but I’ve never had the chance before,” Susie said immediately. Then she turned to Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoqiang and asked, “What about you two?”

"Okay." Chu Zihang nodded.

“Then… I agree too,” Su Xiaoqiang said.

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei.

Go ride the Ferris wheel? What do you want to do? The Ferris wheel can only be ridden by two people. Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su will definitely sit together, and then you and I will sit together?

Riding the Ferris wheel with Lu Mingfei...

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly felt her face getting hot.

She definitely didn't want to ride the Ferris wheel with Lu Mingfei!

Su Xiaoqiang secretly decided that if Lu Ming insisted on riding the Ferris wheel with her later, she would immediately and resolutely refuse him.

Even if he knelt down and begged, she wouldn't agree!

Yes, absolutely not!

Su Xiaoqiang mentally prepared herself in this way.

Before they knew it, the four of them had arrived at the Ferris wheel.

Because it's a small city, there weren't many people in line, and it was their turn very quickly.

Chu Zihang stepped forward, then turned to the three people behind him and asked, "Lu Mingfei, would you like to sit with me?"

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang exchanged a glance, both seeing the question mark in each other's eyes.

"No, Senior Brother Chu, this is a Ferris wheel..." Lu Mingfei stammered.

“Yes,” Chu Zihang nodded, “I know.”

“You’re not, you should, you… I…” Lu Mingfei thought to himself, “What do you know? You know nothing!”

"If you really knew, you wouldn't have invited me to ride the Ferris wheel." Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Unless you fucking want to go on a date with me!

and many more!

Senior Brother Chu seems to have never gotten close to any girls at Shilan High School. Could it be that he is...?

Lu Mingfei felt his calves trembling slightly.

He glanced nervously at the composed Susie—could it be… that you're actually Senior Brother Chu's wingman?

No, that's impossible. I must be overthinking it. Maybe Senior Brother Chu just doesn't want to ride the Ferris wheel with Susie?

Lu Mingfei comforted himself.

"Is it not allowed?" Chu Zihang asked, standing at the entrance of the Ferris wheel.

The staff nearby had already started urging them on.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and made up his mind, then followed Chu Zihang into the Ferris wheel.

As the Ferris wheel doors closed, Lu Mingfei's heart tightened.

Outside the Ferris wheel, Su Xiaoqiang blinked blankly.

what's the situation?

Did Senior Brother Chu and Lu Mingfei ride the Ferris wheel together?

What were those two men doing going into the Ferris wheel together?

Su Xiaoqiang felt that her brain cells were running out, and her thought process was short-circuiting.

“Let’s go,” Susie said, taking Su Xiaoqiang’s hand and giving her a gentle smile. “Let’s go ride the Ferris wheel too.”

Su Xiaoqiang's brain was still in a daze, and she was pulled into the Ferris wheel by Su Qian like a puppet.

Meanwhile, inside the Ferris wheel where Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were.

Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei sat facing each other.

Chu Zihang's face was serious, like a clothed thinker sculpture.

Lu Mingfei was trembling with fear, as if he might break through the window and escape at any moment.

An eerily silent atmosphere filled the air.

It felt as if this wasn't a Ferris wheel, but the sinking Titanic cruise ship.

"Lu Mingfei, I have something very important to tell you," Chu Zihang suddenly said.

If the Ferris wheel hadn't already risen, Lu Mingfei would have opened the window and jumped out.

"Senior brother, wh...what is it?" Lu Mingfei tried to laugh, but his laugh looked like a pickled cucumber.

"I..." Chu Zihang hesitated for a few seconds, which was unusual for him.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Brother, if you're going to kill me, just do it quickly. Don't torture me to death. Don't you know that the wait before execution is the hardest?"

Chu Zihang took a deep breath and said seriously, "I would like to invite you to join our club."

Lu Mingfei's brain stopped working for a few seconds.

Then he tentatively asked, "Senior, are you with the Yamaguchi-gumi or the Sumiyoshi-kai?"

Chu Zihang was taken aback: "What Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai? We're not a Japanese yakuza."

Lu Mingfei was also stunned: "So, senior brother, you said you'd invite me to join your club..."

“We are the Lionheart Society,” Chu Zihang explained, “a legitimate university club.”

Perhaps it's serious, he thought to himself.

“No,” Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, but then doubts welled up in his mind. “Senior, I still have more than three months until the college entrance examination, and with my qualifications, I will definitely be applying to a domestic university. Even if you are a cross-university club, it’s impossible for you to come all the way from the United States to China, right…”

Chu Zihang recalled what Su Qian had taught him—to try his best to bring Lu Mingfei closer to the club.

“If you don’t join Kassel College, then pretend I didn’t say anything,” Chu Zihang said, “but if you do join Kassel College, I really hope you will seriously consider joining us.”

He secretly changed Susie's lines. Susie hoped that he would do anything to trick Lu Mingfei into joining the thief ship in advance, but Chu Zihang felt that Lu Mingfei should make a choice with the knowledge of the situation, so he did not make any definitive statements.

If Lu Mingfei enters the academy in the future and learns about the Lionheart Society's situation and circumstances, and does not want to join, Chu Zihang will never force him to.

"Don't worry, senior. If I really get into the same university as you," Lu Mingfei patted his chest, "I'll definitely join your club!"

He had heard Chu Zihang say that he was the president of the club.

With the president protecting them, it would be foolish not to join.

"By the way, senior, what's the name of our club?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Lionheart Society.

……

Su Xiaoqiang was pulled out of the Ferris wheel by Su Qian, where Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei were already waiting for them.

"How is it?" Susie asked Chu Zihang.

“Lu Mingfei agreed,” Chu Zihang said.

"Agree? Agree to what?!"

Su Xiaoqiang's face was full of fear, and her gaze kept sweeping between Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

No way? That can't be right? I've never heard of either of them having that kind of hobby...

“I agree to join Senior Brother Chu’s university club,” Lu Mingfei said. “Of course, the premise is that Senior Brother Chu and I go to the same university.”

"Damn! That's it?!"

Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but swear.

“Hehe, we had no choice. Our club is a long-established club,” Susie laughed, “but in the last two years we’ve been facing a talent shortage and lack of elite personnel, so we had to act early.”

After saying that, she moved closer to Lu Mingfei, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a tone that was half-fraudulent and half-preachy, "Junior Lu, join our Lionheart Club, you definitely won't regret it~"

But she soon realized that Lu Mingfei seemed to have no intention of paying attention to her at all, or rather... he didn't notice her at all, but was staring in a certain direction not far away, his gaze unwavering.

Then Susie saw that Su Xiaoqiang was also looking in the same direction.

She looked in the direction of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang's gaze, completely bewildered.

There was only one couple holding hands there. The man looked fairly tall and handsome, but among mixed-race people, he was just average. The girl he was holding hands with wasn't particularly pretty, but she had a kind of artistic and literary vibe. Based on Susie's experience, this kind of artistic and literary vibe should have a significant impact on a naive young man.

The man and woman seemed surprised as well, and hurriedly let go of each other's hands.

They looked at each other for a while, the boy said something, and then they walked over together.

The two walked closer and faced Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang and the other three.

Lu Mingfei looked at the man and woman standing side by side in front of him and blinked: "Zhao Menghua? Chen Wenwen?"
