Know Yourself in the Dragon World

In the darkness outside the lights, someone handed Zhao Menghua a bouquet of roses.

Lu Mingfei didn't see clearly who was helping Zhao Menghua, nor did he see how many roses there were. He only knew that the roses were bright red, as if his heart was bleeding.

Everyone knew what was going to happen, and except for Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, everyone was preparing to cheer and applaud.

"Chen Wenwen, I Love You!"

Zhao Menghua spoke the words on the screen with deep affection.

His custom-made suit was much more high-end than the one Lu Mingfei rented, it fit him better and was more handsome.

Su Xiaoqiang rushed towards the door of the screening room angrily.

Lu Mingfei stood on the stage, as frustrated as a dog on the roadside. He felt that the little angel Su Xiaoqiang shared the same suffering as him.

Maybe I should follow her and escape from here.

But Lu Mingfei wanted to see the ending. The outcome was uncertain and unpredictable, wasn’t it?

The end came quickly. Chen Wenwen's face turned red to her ears and she pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands.

"Actually...I like you, too."

The sound is as soft as a mosquito, barely audible.

But she took the flowers, which was enough to say it all.

Lu Mingfei couldn't hear what Chen Wenwen said, but he was not blind.

After Chen Wenwen accepted the flowers, Zhao Menghua hugged her in his arms.

This is the ending, Lu Jun, is this what you wanted?

In fact, Su Xiaoqiang didn't leave. She hid at the door of the screening room with her right hand resting on the handle.

Lu Mingfei is not the only one waiting for the ending.

Now, Su Xiaoqiang turned his head away with grievance and anger, preparing to push open the door and leave.

Lu Mingfei was also running towards the gate, with his head tucked in and half turned back.

I don’t understand why we should look back and witness their happiness?

Before Su Xiaoqiang could push the door open, it was pulled open from the outside, and the light from outside suddenly poured in, filling every corner of the screening room.

The accident happened at this moment, Su Xiaoqiang looked up at the boy in front of him.

Black sunglasses, black windbreaker, black leather shoes, The Matrix.

There were two girls with exquisite makeup standing behind him.

"Little angel, where are you going?" Han Qiu took off his sunglasses and asked with a smile.

"Han Qiu?" Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a second, "Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

"I have something to say." Han Qiu raised his right hand, "Zhao Menghua, I'm sorry to interrupt your confession ceremony. If you want a kiss or a hug, feel free to do so after I leave."

Lu Mingfei looked in the direction of the light and saw Han Qiu standing there like a god, with Su Xiaoqiang standing beside him.

"Han Qiu, what are you doing?" Xu Yanyan is a good dog. He hates others interrupting his boss's good deeds.

"Do you have the right to speak?" Han Qiu scolded coldly.

Immediately, Han Qiu walked towards Lu Mingfei and said, "My senior asked me to come here. On behalf of Kassel College, I would like to invite you. There is no time left. Let's go."

The sound was so loud that it covered the entire place.

The two girls, one on the left and one on the right, helped Lu Mingfei put on a real suit and a brand new battle robe.

Some were surprised, some were laughing.

"Kassel College?" Zhao Menghua's smile was full of sarcasm.

In his opinion, this was just a clown show between two people.

"It seems that Han Qiu has passed the interview." Chen Wenwen suddenly said.

Zhao Menghua’s smile froze on his face. Is this serious?

"Are you still hesitating?" Han Qiu asked.

Thanks to the help of Mr. Han, Han Qiu was able to dominate the entire venue, otherwise it would have been embarrassment.

Lu Mingfei looked again at Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen who were hugging each other, then nodded heavily and made the most important decision of his life.

"The school's car is outside, let's go." Han Qiu looked at everyone with satisfaction, "Everyone, continue, continue, I'm sorry to disturb your elegance."

Zhao Menghua understood that Han Qiu was deliberately helping Lu Mingfei to look powerful by announcing in this occasion that Lu Mingfei had passed the interview and obtained admission.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. The extras haven't been paid yet!" Zhao Menghua shouted, "Lu Mingfei, wait a minute."

Zhao Menghua just doesn't like Lu Mingfei. The more you try to make him look more powerful, the more Zhao Menghua wants to frustrate his ambition.

"Pay wages?" Han Qiu stopped and secretly stuffed a handful of hundred-yuan bills into Lu Mingfei's hands. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Give it to them."

Lu Mingfei immediately understood Han Qiu's thoughts and took the money with a smile, "Thank you."

When he was almost in despair, Lu Mingfei turned around and threw some money in the direction of Zhao Menghua.

Red hundred-dollar bills were flying all over the sky, and the smell of paper money suddenly overwhelmed the smell of love.

"Take it. The extra is considered a tip."

Lu Mingfei felt that he was really handsome at the moment, with such a worldly-indifferent tone and contempt for everything.

He once fantasized about a day like this: he was originally an insignificant loser, but suddenly an outsider appeared, like a god descending from the sky, and said to him in front of everyone: Lu Mingfei, you are a member of our organization, come with us and save the world.

Now, fantasy is reflected in reality, even though Han Qiu is dressed like someone from The Matrix.

But... it's pretty cool, isn't it?

Lu Mingfei has never been so cool.

"Goodbye, little angel." Han Qiu said.

"Goodbye." Lu Mingfei also said goodbye to Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang just waved his hands, shocked by what the two did and unable to speak.

The banknotes fell to the ground, and Han Qiu and Lu Mingfei had already left the screening room.

Zhao Menghua's chest heaved. He had never been so angry before, especially when he saw Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao desperately picking up money.

"Put the money down, put the money down!" Zhao Menghua shouted, "Stop them both!"

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao chose to listen to the boss, put down the money, and ran outside.

The fiery red Ferrari set off with a roar and sped away.

Zhao Menghua was hit hard again. He didn't dare to say that this was all a prank by Lu Mingfei and Han Qiu. What if Lu Mingfei really entered Kassel College, he would be the clown.

……

"What's wrong?" Han Qiu looked at the depressed Lu Mingfei in the passenger seat, "Are you unhappy?"

"It was very enjoyable at the time." Lu Mingfei said, "But it always felt weird, maybe because you are a man."

"Get lost! Do you still want a girl to pick you up?" Han Qiu scolded with a smile.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Lu Mingfei asked, "And you got a car like this? Did you rent it? Your hood is in such a mess, can you return it?"

"My senior sister heard that Zhao Menghua wanted to punish you, so I rushed over. The car was stolen, and the hood was not damaged by me, but by my senior sister."

"Where is the senior sister?"

"Wait for us at the roadside."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei crossed his legs on the seat, "Thank you."

"Brothers don't say thank you. It's nothing. What? Are you sure you want to go to America with me?"

"Go!" Lu Mingfei said decisively, "It's better than staying here. You've set me up. If I don't go, Zhao Menghua and the others will probably laugh at me for the rest of my life."

"No one dares to laugh at you."

"Han Qiu." Lu Mingfei suddenly called.

"Ok?"

"I always feel that you are very unusual." Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Han Qiu's face, "Tell me, are you someone sent by some spy organization to monitor me?"

"Come on, I'll spy on you?" Han Qiu smiled bitterly. "If I were a spy, how could I be so bad off? The only difference between you and me is that I don't have the middleman of uncle and aunt."

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with having a middleman." Lu Mingfei looked up at the night sky. "I often say that I envy your life, but if I really have to live the life you have, I would be very reluctant. I prefer a more lively life. Although my uncle and aunt are quite strict with me, at least I have a family."

Lu Mingfei realized that his words were somewhat offensive, and quickly added: "I don't mean that you have no home."

"I don't have a home to begin with." Han Qiu answered seriously.

"Okay, I shouldn't have said that, don't be angry."

"Not angry, let me tell you a story."

"Well, you said."

"There was a man who grew up with his grandparents. His family was too poor, so his mother ran away and his father worked away from home and later remarried." Han Qiu tried his best to maintain his emotions. "When he was in junior high school, his grandparents passed away and he went to the city to live with his remarried 'mom and dad'."

"But dad is not the same dad as before. He finally found a city woman and gave up everything to keep his hard-earned life. At home, the boy is scolded by 'mom and dad' and bullied by 'little brother'. At school, the boy is also laughed at because he comes from a rural background and doesn't know a lot of things."

"So that boy was always unhappy, even though he smiled every day."

"Fortunately, the boy had good grades and was admitted to a good university in another city, far away."

"However, there is no poetry or beauty in the distance, just another cage."

"The cage is always filled with power and interests. There is no escape. The young man will always be the one at the bottom."

"He loves life, but life doesn't love him. He laughs every day, is always cheerful, likes to joke and please people around him, because he is afraid of loneliness! Once he is alone, he is really alone."

"In fact, he is very sober. He knows what the world is like, what he is like, and he also knows that pleasing others will not bring true feelings. But...what other choice does he have? He chooses to be drunk sober, hoping that one day he can turn over a new leaf, or meet a good person."

Han Qiu's voice stopped, which meant the story was over.

"What's next?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"There is no follow-up." Han Qiu said: "In order to fit in with the conversation of his roommates, he went to buy a book, but he had a car accident on the way. In fact, most of his knowledge and abilities were learned to please others and the society. The life he really wanted to live was to return to the countryside, where his grandparents were still alive, lead a cow, take a book, go out for a morning, and see the direction of home from afar with smoke rising from the kitchen. Because he would not be lonely... There were people waiting for him at home, and he could see them when he looked up."

"Is he your friend?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head, savoring the story.

He can understand this feeling of loneliness, even if one seems to have many friends and is always smiling.

"I guess so." Han Qiu said.
