Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

The moment Su Xiaoqiang said "yes," it was as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders; she instantly relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief. She handed her phone to Chen Wenwen, who was standing next to her, indicating that it was her turn.

Chen Wenwen didn't answer; she just kept her head down, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, lost in thought. Seeing this, Lu Mingfei broke the silence at the opportune moment:

"Chen Wenwen, I've already told you the truth about the world. If you don't want to join Kassel College, I won't force you. But you need to know that you've awakened into a hybrid. In the world of hybrids, there's a term called 'the sorrow of blood.' Because of the dragon blood in your body, you'll experience a deep-seated loneliness that may make it difficult for you to integrate into normal human society. Others will never understand you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenwen trembled and looked up at Lu Mingfei with disbelief in her eyes. As a sensitive young woman with a literary bent, how could she not hear the unspoken meaning in Lu Mingfei's words? This was clearly a naked threat, the meaning of which was crystal clear: if she dared to refuse to join Kassel, she would be swallowed by loneliness and spend the rest of her life in solitude, misunderstood by everyone.

Only now did Chen Wenwen fully realize that she had already fallen into Lu Mingfei's control. Before, she had been the one who held back, keeping Lu Mingfei on her toes and enjoying the feeling of being pursued by him; but now the situation had completely reversed. If she didn't want to be devoured by the loneliness called "the sorrow of blood," she could only cling to Lu Mingfei, her only lifeline, and she could no longer be picky.

"I...I want to think about it some more..." Chen Wenwen lowered her head and murmured softly, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, even her breathing became a little softer.

"Okay, but I suggest you make a decision as soon as possible, after all, time waits for no one." Lu Mingfei didn't say anything more, reached out and took the phone back from her, and said to Norma on the other end of the receiver, "Let's leave it at that for now, I'll contact you again after Chen Wenwen makes a decision."

"Okay, Acting Principal, it's a pleasure to serve you. Have a great summer vacation!" Norma's calm voice trailed off, and the call was immediately disconnected.

Lu Mingfei put his phone back in his pocket and turned to look at Nuonuo: "When are you planning to leave?"

"What, are you so eager for me to leave?" Nuonuo raised her eyebrows, her tone slightly displeased, but then she immediately changed her tone to a pitiful one: "Yes, it's so you can continue to be all lovey-dovey with your little lovers after I leave. Sigh, poor me, as your senior, I'm only a few years older, and I'm already being rejected by you, this heartless man. Men really do prefer young ones, waaaah..." As she spoke, she even pretended to cover her eyes and cry, but her eyes were crooked, and there wasn't a single tear.

"What are you babbling about? Are you craving love again? Want me to 'cure' you?" As soon as Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he gently tightened the hand on Nuonuo's back. Nuonuo was caught off guard and let out a soft hum. She then looked up at him, her eyes full of anger, and raised her hand to hit his waist, but the force was not strong. Lu Mingfei felt like cotton was falling on his body, soft and comfortable.

Watching Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo playfully bickering, Su Xiaoqiang felt a pang of jealousy. But when she thought back to her three years of bickering and playful banter with Lu Mingfei in high school, she refused to admit that she might have fallen for him. However, she just couldn't stand seeing him being affectionate with other girls in front of her, so she simply turned her face away, staring at the ceiling as if admiring the scenery, trying to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed.

After a bit of playful fighting, Nuonuo slapped away Lu Mingfei's hand that was behind her back, got up and went to the bathroom. After coming out, she returned to her room, tidied herself up a bit, and then decided to head out to carry out her mission.

Lu Mingfei stood up and offered to see her downstairs. Su Xiaoqiang also stood up, saying that she had to go back too. She hadn't contacted her family last night, but she sent a message to let them know she was safe as soon as she woke up this morning, and even made up an excuse to get away with it. But she still had to go back so that her parents wouldn't worry.

Chen Wenwen remained motionless, sitting quietly on the bed with her head down, like a delicate doll forgotten in a corner, as if everything around her was irrelevant to her.

Lu Mingfei didn't look at her, and Su Xiaoqiang only glanced at her strangely, but ultimately didn't ask any questions. She quickly followed Lu Mingfei and left the suite.

The three walked to the parking lot, where the eye-catching red Maserati from last night was parked quietly, its streamlined body gleaming with a cool, sophisticated sheen under the lights. Nono quickly walked over, opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, casually straightened her skirt, and turned to Su Xiaoqiang standing beside her, asking, "Want me to give you a ride?"

Su Xiaoqiang had no intention of accepting help from this woman whose relationship with Lu Mingfei was ambiguous, and immediately and decisively refused: "No need, senior. You have important matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer."

Nuonuo sensed the jealousy in Su Xiaoqiang's words and raised an eyebrow at Lu Mingfei in surprise, as if to say: "Wow, this little girl is jealous of you?"

Lu Mingfei understood immediately and raised an eyebrow in response, meaning: mind your own business, you don't understand adult matters.

Nuonuo scoffed lightly, her face full of disdain, then deliberately dragged out her words: "Junior brother, I'm about to embark on an investigation mission full of unknowns and dangers. Don't you have any farewell words to say to me?"

"Take care, I won't see you off. If you can't stand being away for too long, just tell me and I'll send you a mold so you can use it secretly," Lu Mingfei said.

"Tsk, you're such a smooth talker. Forget it, trying to be sentimental with you is a waste of breath. I'm leaving now. We'll probably meet again at the academy. I'll be waiting for you to come find me there." After saying that, Nuonuo winked at Lu Mingfei, stepped on the gas, and the red Maserati disappeared quickly at the parking lot exit with the roar of the engine.

Watching the car disappear, Lu Mingfei turned to Su Xiaoqiang: "Little Fairy, do you want me to take you home?"

"You're going to take me? You don't even have a car, how are you going to take me?" Su Xiaoqiang reflexively retorted when she heard Lu Mingfei's words. But when she realized what she was saying, she regretted it and quickly tried to make amends: "No... I meant no need, I can just take a taxi home myself." But after saying that, she bit her lip in annoyance. Actually, she was hoping that Lu Mingfei would take her, but the words just came out differently.

Even Su Xiaoqiang herself felt something was wrong. She had always been decisive and efficient, so when did she become so conflicted? But for some reason, now that she was facing Lu Mingfei, her thoughts drifted uncontrollably, and her heart felt like a tangled mess that she couldn't untangle. She couldn't even control herself.

Looking at Su Xiaoqiang's conflicted and awkward expression, Lu Mingfei nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly beckoned to her: "Little Heavenly Maiden, come here for a moment."

Completely bewildered, Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously took two steps forward. Lu Mingfei also moved closer, and the distance between them instantly became so close that they could smell each other's scent. Su Xiaoqiang's heart pounded wildly, the "thump-thump" sound so clear it felt like it would burst out of her chest. Just as she was about to ask him what he wanted, the light in front of her was suddenly blocked by a shadow, and then, something warm and soft gently pressed against her lips.

Su Xiaoqiang froze instantly, her mind going blank. She stared wide-eyed at Lu Mingfei in disbelief, her body frozen in place. The parking lot lights shone on them, time seemed to stand still, only their intertwined breaths remained.
