Know Yourself in the Dragon World

"It's so nice to hang out with my senior brother!" Xia Mi went into the suite and grabbed the room with the biggest bed.

"Come on, can you please say that it's great to hang out with the seniors?" Han Qiu said dissatisfiedly: "My senior and I each paid half!"

"Well then, it's nice to hang out with the seniors." Xia Mi suddenly became well-behaved.

Han Qiu felt it was even weirder and quickly waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it. You're really weird."

Lu Mingfei looked through every bedroom, then asked in confusion: "There are only three rooms, how are they allocated?"

"I don't care, this room is mine." Xia Mi opened her arms and blocked the door of the largest bedroom.

Yes, I'm sick again.

Han Qiu recounted the situations of the four people:

Chu Zihang, a cool, handsome and rich guy.

If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. It’s okay if you don’t have big money.

Lu Mingfei, a poor guy whose principal's scholarship has run out.

Xia Mi, a poor woman.

"You three can divide the space." Chu Zihang stood at the window holding a textbook. "I'll sleep on the sofa."

"I knew it would be like this." Han Qiu took out another room card from his sleeve like a magic trick, "There is a single room on the third floor. I'll go there."

"Oh my god!" Lu Mingfei snatched the room card from Han Qiu, "Didn't you say it was to save money?"

Hotels along the Chicago Riverwalk are indeed a bit outrageously expensive.

But it doesn’t matter, what Han Qiu is pursuing is experience.

With good food, fun and good accommodation, there is no reason for a time traveler to let you suffer any injustice.

"That can't be helped. We should save when we can and spend when we can." Han Qiu snatched it back. "Okay, I'm tired. I'm going to rest now."

"Bye!" Xia Mi waved her hand and slammed the door shut.

"Call me if you have anything." Han Qiu also closed the door and left.

Chu Zihang was concentrating on reading the textbook, occasionally looking up at the river view outside the window.

The river water sparkles with tiny golden lights under the setting sun, like jumping notes, writing the music of the city on the river surface.

When the wind blows, it ripples again.

"It's beautiful." Lu Mingfei stood beside her and said leisurely, "It's expensive for a reason."

"Brother, you've already started preparing for class before school starts?"

"I've already finished my preview for the third grade, this is for the fourth grade." Chu Zihang said, "Practice your standing posture while you're at it."

"This... is serious enough." Lu Mingfei once again realized the gap between them as leaders of the same society.

"I plan to finish all my courses this year." Chu Zihang closed the book and talked to Lu Mingfei about his future plans.

"So what do you do in fourth grade?"

"Apply to enter the executive department early. The academy has set up a channel for early graduation. Just pass the assessment and you'll be fine."

"Brother, you work really hard."

"Better than powerless."

"I heard that the executive department will be assigned to various branches. Brother, have you decided where you will go in the future?"

"Oslo."

"It's great to have a planned life." Lu Mingfei opened the window and the wind ruffled his hair.

He also wanted to have a plan, but he didn't know where to start.

So I can only try to make myself less weak first.

But this body seemed to have its limits. He felt that he might never be as strong as his senior brother, and it would be difficult for him to even catch up.

In fact, Lu Mingfei had long wanted to discuss the issue of changing the training route with Professor Guderian and President Angers.

Senior brother is destined to be the king who rushes to the front line and is an all-rounder.

Han Qiu is leaning towards reconnaissance.

And I...may be more suitable for research.

Although those ancient dragon books are obscure and difficult to understand, they are still easier than going to the battlefield.

"You must learn to find your own direction," said Chu Zihang.

"I'll try my best." Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly, "Brother, Xia Mi seems to like you."

Chu Zihang frowned and asked, "Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Look, this time, she only sticks to you."

After a brief silence, Chu Zihang said calmly: "I asked her on the plane, and she said...you guys don't look very smart or reliable, and asked me if I could take care of her more, and I agreed. I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would embarrass you."

"..." Lu Mingfei was speechless, and even more speechless was Xia Mi's words. He had no way to refute them.

Neither Han Qiu nor I seem as reliable as my senior brother.

"But she always gives me a familiar feeling." Chu Zihang said suddenly.

Said while looking at the sun.

The last bit of sun sank completely below the horizon, and the world suddenly fell into darkness.

“I always feel like I’m forgetting something.”

"Maybe, you have met her once, on a certain street in a certain city." Lu Mingfei elaborated on this possibility, "After all, you travel a lot, and Xia Mi's appearance is indeed conspicuous in a crowd."

"I don't know." Chu Zihang really didn't know, "Generally speaking, I don't have any big feelings about a girl's appearance."

“Senior Brother…” Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh.

"what happened?"

"You might be a little off."

"..." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei solemnly, "Hold back what you want to say."

"Okay..." Lu Mingfei closed his mouth and quietly enjoyed the scenery with Chu Zihang.

After less than five minutes of silence, his mouth opened again.

"Brother, have you seen The Godfather?"

"Seen."

"Han Qiu asked me to read it a few more times." Lu Mingfei scratched his face, "He said the Godfather can teach me a lot."

"Leaving aside the criminal aspects, it is true."

"I know you all want me to be able to stand on my own."

"It's not us who want to." Chu Zihang stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "You have to learn to be independent."

"But growing up always involves making mistakes, and I'm afraid of making mistakes." Lu Mingfei said, "In the past, if I made even the slightest mistake, my aunt would scold me. Once, I tried to be a man and got into a fight with someone, but he provoked me first. But in the end, I was still at fault, and in order to pay less money, I worked like a slave for that guy for a long time."

"People can make mistakes." Chu Zihang paused, but continued: "But they can't make fatal mistakes."

Lu Mingfei didn't expect that he could chat with Chu Zihang about "The Godfather" for more than an hour, until the neon lights came on and the moon rose.

Chu Zihang was very happy that Lu Mingfei could ask questions about life and growth. He couldn't answer them, but he could still give some ideas and suggestions.

Everyone will be confused and cowardly. Lu Mingfei is just more confused and cowardly than others.

He has started to work hard, but change will bring more confusion.

Chu Zihang wanted to say: Just keep moving forward.

While chatting, Lu Mingfei's stomach growled. Qia Xia Mi suddenly opened the door and walked out rubbing her eyes.

"Are you still awake?" she asked, turning on the light.

"Chatting." Lu Mingfei turned around and leaned against the window. "Are you awake?"

"I'm going out to buy some food. I'm a little hungry."

"Please bring some for me." Lu Mingfei said.

"Oh, okay." Xia Mi asked again: "Where's my senior brother?"

"I'm not hungry."

……

The moon in foreign countries is not that round either, and is not much different from the one in my home town.

Han Qiu sighed very softly, turned around and looked at the entrance to the rooftop, and a figure walked in.

"Do you like meeting on the rooftop?" The visitor was clear in the moonlight, carrying a large bag of food in his hand.

Xia Mi no longer had the playfulness she had before, now she was filled with dignity.

"Safe." said Han Qiu.

"Aren't you afraid of attracting Norma's attention?"

"I can control Norma to a certain extent, don't worry." Han Qiu pointed at the takeaway in Xia Mi's hand, "Why did you buy so much food?"

"You have to find a reason. If you have something to say, tell me now."

"When we get to the academy, try to have discussions. Don't always act on your own. We are allies after all. Give me some sense of presence." Han Qiu said in a heavy tone, "Just like you killed Tang Wei last time."

"Killed Tang Wei? I didn't kill him." Xia Mi sneered, "You don't seem to be in control of the overall situation either."
