Lu Mingfei stood up, bowed, and ran away.
It moved as swiftly as a rabbit being chased by a dog.
Angers sat in the coffee shop, staring dumbfounded at Lu Mingfei's fleeing figure.
A door leading to a magnificent world opened a crack to Lu Mingfei, who slammed it shut with lightning speed.
……
In Lu Mingfei's room at the budget hotel.
On his way back, Lu Mingfei took several turns and detours before finally arriving back here.
He didn't want to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend nothing happened; that wasn't realistic.
After experiencing some things in Tony's world, Lu Mingfei gradually understood a principle—escaping is not necessarily shameful, but it is not necessarily useful either.
The other party came to our door alone, and we can't just run away and make it disappear as if nothing happened.
He was simply putting Tony's teachings into practice—when a negotiation or dialogue happens unexpectedly while the other party is prepared, the key is to break their rhythm and never let yourself be led by the nose.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei decisively chose to run away.
Firstly, it can completely disrupt the other party's rhythm, and secondly, he also needs more time to calm down and think things through.
Tony taught him not to think when he's not calm, otherwise the more he thinks, the more mistakes he'll make.
Of course, there are many ways to break the rhythm, depending on the personality of the person involved.
For example, fleeing in panic is more suitable for someone like Lu Mingfei who has no idol baggage, while Tony would never use such a method.
When there is absolutely no other choice, Tony would rather pick up a cup of hot tea and splash it in the other person's face than choose to avoid confrontation.
Taking a few deep breaths, Lu Mingfei calmed himself down.
Faced with this unexpected situation, he really wanted to go to Tony to discuss countermeasures, but putting aside the possibility that his sudden disappearance for a day might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, even if he had a way to avoid being noticed, he no longer had the energy to travel through time.
So now he can only think of a solution on his own. With his golden eyes lit up, Lu Mingfei began to analyze every clue as much as possible.
First of all, the other party is very likely not an ordinary person, but a group with special powers. Moreover, it seems that they did not intend to hide this time, otherwise they would not have said that they were friends of their great-grandfather. At this age, they could not be ordinary people.
Based on this foundation, Kassel College is certainly not simple.
Not only are his parents honorary alumni of this college, but Senior Brother Chu is also a student of this college...
No wonder Senior Brother Chu contacted him after he disappeared. Perhaps because of his mysterious parents, the academy has always paid close attention to him. Now that he is behaving strangely, they came to contact him.
So when did Senior Brother Chu become one of them? Was it a long time ago, or did it start last year when he went to university?
Most importantly, have they noticed or discovered that I occasionally disappear for a day?
Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples.
Although the other party doesn't seem to have any ill intentions at the moment, we still need to be careful. After all, Tony said, "People who have ill intentions towards you often disguise themselves as kind."
This is based on experience; Obadiah is the best example.
but……
Lu Mingfei then remembered that when Senior Brother Chu first came to see him, they talked about the University of Kassel that Senior Brother Chu attended. At that time, Senior Brother Chu said, "You can consider Kassel College. You can get accepted if you apply." Later, he specifically mentioned that "those with excellent qualifications can be exempted from tuition fees."
Later, during the few days Susie visited, when they went to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel, Chu Zihang invited him to join the Lionheart Club, a club at Kassel College, and seemed quite certain that he would join Kassel College.
Therefore, it can be concluded that, unless it is a deliberate attempt to mislead, Senior Brother Chu believed that Kassel College would accept him and recruit him as a "student".
I hope they are a proper college.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples and stopped thinking.
There were too few clues, and he had done all the possible analysis and speculation. That was enough; thinking any further would just be meaningless speculation.
Although he clearly felt that he had become much smarter after awakening his abilities, and was carefully taught by Tony about the "dangers of society," he had barely escaped the stage of being a "naive and stupid high school student." However, it would be impossible for him to be cunning or shrewd.
There's no way to talk to Tony now, so Lu Mingfei can only be extremely careful.
Until you regain enough energy to go back and talk to Tony, it's best to stay away as much as possible.
Having made his decision silently, Lu Mingfei lay on the bed and gradually drifted into a dream.
……
Early morning, at Chu Zihang's doorstep.
The Mercedes-Benz S500 slowly came to a stop at the entrance, and the driver opened the door for the passengers in the back seat.
A pair of exquisitely handcrafted light-colored leather shoes touched the ground as Angers, dressed in the style of an old-fashioned European aristocrat, wearing a top hat and carrying a decorative cane, stepped out of the car.
A man with gold-rimmed glasses and his hair neatly tied back came out of the villa to greet us. He was a businessman, but his demeanor was more like that of a refined scholar.
"Hello, Principal Angers, it's an honor to meet you."
Lu Tianming smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Angers. Although he was a businessman, he rarely showed great enthusiasm to people. However, he did not mind lowering his status for his son's principal. In his mind, Kassel College was a top-tier school that was no less prestigious than Harvard and Yale, just a less popular one.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lu,” Angers shook hands with Lu Tianming. “Chu Zihang is one of the two most outstanding students in our school. I am honored that he can come to visit my home.”
The two men walked into the house while talking. Chu Zihang was already standing upright next to the sofa, as stiff as a sheet of noodles.
Rather than a student waiting for the principal to visit his home, he was more like a concubine or powerful minister waiting for the emperor to bestow a three-foot-long white silk ribbon so he could hang himself immediately.
"Come, Zihang, sit down." Lu Tianming gestured for Chu Zihang to sit down.
Angers and Lu Tianming chatted enthusiastically about Chu Zihang's life at school. Angers was a highly respected educator, and Lu Tianming was a perfect father who treated his stepson as his own. Their conversation was very pleasant.
Angers said that Chu Zihang is one of the most outstanding students in recent decades. He became the president of the school's oldest club in his freshman year. He is excellent in everything from grades to practice to character. He is a perfect young man who is unparalleled.
Lu Tianming praised Kassel College for its strong faculty and excellent teaching atmosphere. He had read the emails sent back by Chu Zihang. Every building in the school exuded historical depth, and every decoration was full of artistic beauty. The teachers and students were also handsome and charming. It was clearly a top university that only admitted elites.
The two of them were exchanging compliments, while Chu Zihang sat silently to the side, feeling uncomfortable but unable to show it.
After chatting for a long time, Lu Tianming glanced at the time, looked apologetic, and said that he had things to take care of at his company. After apologizing repeatedly, he took his leave.
Watching Lu Tianming leave, Angers could tell that although Chu Zihang hadn't changed much overall, the details seemed more natural.
“Alright, your father and driver are gone, and your servants aren’t around either. No one will hear us,” Angers said.
Chu Zihang nodded and asked, "Principal, are you here to see Lu Mingfei?"
“To be precise, I have already seen him,” Angers’ lips twitched slightly, “but…”
He struggled to find the right words for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Chu Zihang waited quietly for a long time before finally hearing Angers say in a very strange tone, "But before I could even say a few words to him, he ran away."
Chu Zihang was stunned.
"Should I contact Lu Mingfei next? He's my classmate, so it might be easier to communicate with him."
Perhaps because the target this time was Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang volunteered.
“Come with me next time, young people should have more in common,” Angers said with a touch of melancholy. “I guess I really am getting old.”
"When are we going?" Chu Zihang needed to ask for a specific time so he could prepare in advance; this was his usual practice.
“No rush,” Angers shook his head. “There are still two and a half months until the school’s admissions ceremony.”
It's only the end of February now, and the college's admissions interviews usually don't start until May.
……
At Su Xiaoqiang's home.
Lu Mingfei pushed open the door and walked in carrying the violin case. He saw Su Xiaoqiang sitting on the sofa, bending down to fiddle with a small object on the coffee table.
"What is this?" Lu Mingfei asked, leaning closer.
"It's for recording," Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
This is what she used to record Lu Mingfei's music so she could use it to blackmail him later.
“Come on, great musician,” Su Xiaoqiang nestled into the sofa, “I’m waiting to hear your performance.”
"Wait a moment." Lu Mingfei took off the violin case and sat on the sofa.
"What? Trying to admit defeat?" Su Xiaoqiang glanced sideways at Lu Mingfei. "I'm always magnanimous, as long as you obediently apologize..."
“No,” Lu Mingfei shook his head, “I mean, how about we make a bet, and the loser has to grant the winner a request?”
"Huh?" Su Xiaoqiang looked Lu Mingfei up and down. "Are you really that desperate? And how do you determine the winner in a bet?"
“It’s up to you,” Lu Mingfei said. “After I finish playing, if you say it’s better than yours, then you win; if you say it’s worse, then you lose; if you think it’s about the same, then it’s a draw. I believe the Little Fairy won’t cheat, right?”
"Huh?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little surprised. "Are you still upset, or have you come to terms with it?"
"So, are we going to gamble or not?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Go ahead and bet, are you scared of me?" Su Xiaoqiang stretched out a hand. "Come on, let's high five to seal the deal."
"Snapped!"
After a crisp clap, Su Xiaoqiang crossed his arms and sneered, signaling Lu Mingfei to begin his performance.
Lu Mingfei set up the violin and placed the bow on it.
As the melodious piano music played, Su Xiaoqiang's mouth opened wider and wider.
When the song ended, Lu Mingfei kindly reached out, lifted her chin, and helped her close her mouth.
Thank you to "The Secret Garden That Can't Be Entered" for 3,000 points, to reader 20210301106454459252 for 2,000 points, to "Walker with Three, I Am Your Update Urger" for 500 points, to "Dongdongxiao" for 100 points, to reader 20210301106454459252 for 100 points, to reader 20210923123136381 for 100 points, to "Old Wang Next Door dt" for 100 points, to "Hundred-Refined Knife of Five Virtues Camp" for 100 points, to reader 20220612114336056 for 100 points, to "Traces of Clouds_" for 100 points, and to reader 20200110135628941 for 100 points. Thank you!
Chapter 37 Are you kidding me?!
At Su Xiaoqiang's home.
Lu Mingfei put down his violin and looked at Su Xiaoqiang with a smug expression.
Under Lu Mingfei's smug gaze, Su Xiaoqiang stretched out her hand with a blank expression, placing her fingers on Lu Mingfei's arm.
Then twist it hard.
Lu Mingfei frowned: "What are you doing?"
"You're not in pain? I must be dreaming." Su Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Mingfei reached out and gently pinched Su Xiaoqiang's arm.
