Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Zhao Menghua knelt down on the ground, clutching his stomach, seemingly bowing to Lu Mingfei.

Perhaps those rituals symbolizing kneeling originated from this when human civilization was just beginning? Lu Mingfei thought to himself, his thoughts wandering.

When one side is knocked down and loses the ability to resist, they kneel on the ground, and the victor enjoys the power of life and death, accepting this "kneeling".

Su Xiaoqiang tugged at Lu Mingfei, making him bend down, and whispered in his ear, "Be careful, if you beat him too badly, it will be a bit troublesome for my family to suppress it."

Lu Mingfei nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, he didn't understand the next second.

Susie strode forward, kicked Zhao Menghua in the shoulder, knocking him to the ground. She crossed her arms and looked down at Zhao Menghua, who lay on the ground clutching his stomach.

This demeanor is a far cry from her previous mature and friendly older sister style; she's more like a valiant female mafia member.

Before Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang could react, Chu Zihang strode forward, bent down, grabbed Zhao Menghua by the collar, and lifted him up as if he were a paper doll.

"I'll go take care of this," Chu Zihang said, then grabbed Zhao Menghua and walked into a corner.

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were both dumbfounded.

Chu Zihang's icy face, coupled with his calm and natural tone as if he were about to pick vegetables, made him look like a vicious criminal from a TV drama who was about to dispose of a corpse, except that his face was a little too handsome.

Could it be that Senior Brother Chu secretly used the corpse-dissolving potion? Lu Mingfei couldn't help but wonder.

Chu Zihang left, and Chen Wenwen was still stunned and hadn't come to her senses. Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang turned their attention to Su Qian.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Susie said, seemingly a little embarrassed by his gaze. “I just really hate guys who hit girls, so I couldn’t help but kick him.”

Su Xiaoqiang blinked – although Zhao Menghua had spoken out of turn first, it seemed like she was the one who started the fight.

But who cares?

"Well done!" Su Xiaoqiang gave Su Qian a thumbs up.

"Did I play badly?" Lu Mingfei asked, trying to take credit.

Su Xiaoqiang patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, her face tense and her tone authoritative, like a senior leader encouraging a trusted subordinate: "Hmm, you did a good job too."

Before Lu Mingfei could react, she couldn't hold back her laughter.

Chen Wenwen, who had just come to her senses, was completely dumbfounded.

There's someone over there who was taken away by Senior Brother Chu. You guys started chatting here? And why do you all look like it's nothing out of the ordinary?

Despite her fear, Chen Wenwen still liked Zhao Menghua, so she mustered her courage and asked in a trembling voice, "Um... Lu Mingfei, where did Senior Brother Chu take Zhao Menghua?"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "How would I know? They probably went to dig a hole."

“Don’t worry,” Susie said from the side, “Chu Zihang is just going to talk to Zhao Menghua to prevent him from making a fuss about what happened today and causing trouble.”

Lu Mingfei was moved to tears.

Today's incident is merely a grudge between the four classmates; Chu Zihang and Su Qian are completely innocent bystanders.

Chu Zihang could have done nothing, and he even had every right to blame Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang for ruining today's trip.

But Chu Zihang not only did not blame Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, but also took on the most troublesome task without saying a word—to silence Zhao Menghua, who had been beaten.

What does it mean to be righteous? This is righteousness!

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion and the fact that they hadn't known each other for very long, Lu Mingfei would have suggested that he and Senior Brother Chu become sworn brothers.

"Is Senior Brother Chu alright?" Lu Mingfei asked with some concern.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Chu Zihang, but from any angle, Senior Brother Chu didn't seem like someone skilled in socializing or negotiation.

Lu Mingfei still felt that Chu Zihang's "gag order" was very likely "silencing him".

“Don’t worry, he has experience in this area,” Susie said. “And to be honest, our club also has experience in handling this kind of thing.”

Lu Mingfei was shocked.

What kind of club are we anyway? How do we have this kind of experience?!

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to complain, Chen Wenwen, with red eyes, timidly asked, "Zhao Menghua... will he be alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright. We're all law-abiding citizens, what could we possibly do? I guarantee your boyfriend won't get into any trouble," Susie said earnestly.

What kind of person would need to specifically emphasize that they are "law-abiding and public-spirited"?

The last time Lu Mingfei heard someone emphasize their law-abiding and public-spirited nature was when Tony himself said it while he was observing Tony negotiating with the military.

Chen Wenwen naturally didn't have time to think about these things. When she heard Su Qian assure her that Zhao Menghua would be alright, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, choked up, squatted down on the ground, tucked the book between her lower abdomen and thighs, covered her mouth with her hands, and tears streamed down her chin and dripped onto the ground, wetting it.

Lu Mingfei watched from the side, feeling a little reluctant.

Although he no longer had that special feeling for Chen Wenwen, it was still impossible for him to remain completely indifferent when he saw a frail female classmate crying in front of him, and he was still involved in the matter.

However, he is now Su Xiaoqiang's fake boyfriend, and Su Xiaoqiang regards Chen Wenwen as his mortal enemy, so out of duty, he did not go to comfort Chen Wenwen.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to give up, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly walked up to Chen Wenwen.

Seriously, lady? Are you about to declare victory? Isn't that a bit too cruel?

Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to watch any longer.

To his surprise, Su Xiaoqiang didn't say anything. Instead, she bent down, took out a tissue from her bag, and handed it to Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed, tears still streaming down her face.

"Wipe it off, stop crying all the time, it's so annoying," Su Xiaoqiang said, holding a tissue.

Chen Wenwen timidly reached out her hand, wanting to take it, but also hesitant.

Su Xiaoqiang clicked her tongue, then squatted down and impatiently stuck a tissue to Chen Wenwen's face.

Although she appeared quite impatient, even somewhat irritable, Su Xiaoqiang's actions were still relatively gentle as she continuously wiped away Chen Wenwen's tears.

……

In the Mercedes-Benz S500, Chu Zihang still condescended to be the driver, while Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang sat in the back seat.

Because the car's interior was designed to be spacious and airy, the two people in the back seat were not very close. Lu Mingfei rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the green belt receding outside the window, his gaze gradually becoming unfocused.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly asked from beside him.

"I miss Chen Wenwen," Lu Mingfei said subconsciously.

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Lu Mingfei didn't look at Su Xiaoqiang, and naturally didn't notice this. Instead, he stared at the scenery outside the window and said to himself, "I'm wondering why, even though it hasn't been long, I don't have any feelings for Chen Wenwen anymore? I used to like her quite a bit."

Su Xiaoqiang's delicate and beautiful eyebrows relaxed.

“It’s not just women’s hearts that are unfathomable; sometimes, men’s hearts are just as unfathomable,” Susie in the passenger seat suddenly interjected. “Like a book that can never be finished; once one page is turned, no trace is left on the next.”

“There must be a reason…” Lu Mingfei said, resting his chin on his hand.

“Perhaps what you like is just an image in your mind that is based on her but mixed with your own fantasies, so it is almost perfect,” Susie analyzed. “But now, for some reason, you find that the real her is not as wonderful as you imagined, so the fantasy is shattered without you realizing it.”

“Most of the time, people cannot immediately perceive the changes that occur in themselves over a long period of time,” Chu Zihang in the driver’s seat suddenly said. “Only when something specific happens will the changes be reflected in people’s reactions to the event.”

“That makes sense!” Lu Mingfei nodded unconsciously.

……

Lu Mingfei's room in a budget hotel.

Shilan High School is about to start the new semester, and senior student Susie has already gone back home.

Although, by all accounts, Senior Brother Chu should have started school long ago, he said he wanted to stay in China to do some research or survey, and would start school later.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, "He truly lives up to his senior brother Chu's reputation; he's already engaged in transnational academic research at such a young age."

Although his power of time travel was far from being fully restored, he had accumulated quite a bit, and Lu Mingfei felt he could go and take a look at Tony's world.

He had already decided what technology he wanted to develop first in his world. Now he was going to get it from Tony and obtain his first round of funding as soon as possible so he wouldn't have to keep borrowing money from Su Xiaoqiang to stay in hotels.

Although Su Xiaoqiang is not short of money, it's not a good idea to keep borrowing like this.

As usual, Lu Mingfei told the front desk not to disturb him, to draw the curtains, and to check if there were any hidden cameras in the room—it's said that some unscrupulous hotels like to film those kinds of videos.

Having confirmed that everything was in order, Lu Mingfei immersed his consciousness in that power and headed to Tony's world.

……

When he finally came to his senses, Lu Mingfei found himself in a very familiar place—

At Tony's house.

Standing in the technologically advanced room, Lu Mingfei stretched.

This is great, I can find Tony right here.

“Tony—Tony, are you there? Tony—” Lu Mingfei shouted.

“Mr. Lu, I suggest you keep your voice down.” Jarvis’s voice came out from nowhere.

"Huh? Why?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

“It’s nighttime now,” Jarvis said.

The next second, Tony, wearing a disheveled bathrobe, strode down the stairs with a furious expression.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Tony. Not only was his bathrobe disheveled, but his neck and collar were also stained with bright red lipstick. If he got closer, Lu Mingfei could faintly smell a faint fragrance.

"Um... Tony, I... didn't I interrupt your good time?" Lu Mingfei said a little embarrassed.

“It didn’t bother me,” Tony said, looking at him with a resentful expression. “It just interrupted me at the most important point, gave me a fright, and almost made me go to the urology clinic to check some of my functions.”

Lu Mingfei shrank back: "Then... will you continue?"

"What the hell are you going to do?!" Tony yelled in frustration.
