Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Before? It was far worse than this. Although it has always been a noble high school and has the right to recruit overseas students, the proportion of overseas students each year is actually not high, because the school is not famous enough for any foreigner to travel thousands of miles to a not-so-top Chinese city to study in high school." Lu Mingfei explained to Eri, "Now this school is really exaggerated. The school gate has 'Corinthian' columns with crafted carvings on them. The stone feels like marble with artistic paint... The school really spent a lot of money!"

Lu Mingfei felt it was inexplicably strange to imagine a group of young boys and girls carrying school bags walking out of here... The people walking out of such a majestic and sacred gate should be the Greek saint or the Pope of the Vatican.

"Hey, hey, hey, the school has just painted new paint, you can't touch it." A scolding voice came from not far away, "Which class are you from? You're not wearing school uniforms? What's your homeroom teacher's name? Don't even think about running away, the school's new 1080p high-definition surveillance camera has already captured your faces!"

Lu Mingfei and Eiry turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in the guard booth walking quickly towards them. It was obvious that he mistook them for students because of their young age... But this security guard also looked unfamiliar to Lu Mingfei.

Not only does his appearance look unfamiliar, but his dress is unfamiliar too... How should I put it, there are four big words "Security Personnel" hanging on his shoulders, but I always feel that this guy doesn't look like a security guard, but more like a butler in a big villa.

Which security guard in a decent school doesn't wear a security uniform but a suit? He also has a "English Speaking Encyclopedia" on his waist... Security uncle, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

"Not a student, not a student, I've already graduated." Lu Mingfei was a little nervous when he spoke. Even though he had graduated from here two years ago, the school security's power to suppress students came from blood. "It's just... I passed by and saw that the new school was well built, so I came to take a look. I'm definitely doing the job of a good citizen!"

"Oh, so the graduates are here to attend the school celebration, right?" The security guard looked at Lu Mingfei with less vigilance.

"School...anniversary?" Lu Mingfei didn't react.

"Yeah, it's the 50th anniversary of Shilan Noble Middle School, didn't you know?" The security guard looked at Lu Mingfei with more suspicion, "You're not here to attend the school anniversary? Then what are you here for? Are you really a graduate here? What year and class are you from? What's your name? Our school's security system is very strict. We have the information and photos of every student in our system. Don't try to get away with it!"

"I really didn't know that today is the school anniversary, uncle. I didn't plan to go in." Lu Mingfei spread his hands and said helplessly, "I came here to wait for someone. My friend and I agreed to meet at the entrance of Shilan Middle School."

"I didn't know about the school anniversary, and you're a graduate here, and you just happened to meet someone at the school gate?" The security guard sneered, "Do you think I'm as easy to fool as the gatekeeper in your community? Just because you say you're a friend of the owner, I'm going to run to you to get the key to open the gate?"

"So I really didn't plan to enter the school." Lu Mingfei looked around and then at the time. "No, it's already been five minutes since the appointment. Why hasn't my senior come yet? He always arrives early and has never been unpunctual."

"Will he go to school?" Eri asked.

"No way, my senior brother has never been one to join in the fun. Is he really interested in participating in the school celebration?" Lu Mingfei's tone was a little worried. "And if he really participates in the school celebration, he will send me a message, right? Isn't he in trouble?"

The security guard crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Lu Mingfei and Eiry quietly. His eyes meant, "Act, you two keep acting."

"Go to his house to find him? Or go to the school to find him?" Eri looked into the school gate and it was obvious that she was more inclined to the latter. She was quite yearning for the high school campus, especially the school where Lu Mingfei had lived before.

"Indeed, Senior Brother's house isn't too close, so there's no need to go far to look for him." Lu Mingfei nodded, "Then let's go into the school and take a look?"

"So you're still planning on going to school, right? You're graduating from the acting department, right?" The security guard sneered, revealing an "I knew it" expression, "You two don't have to act like a duo here. You can go to school, but if your name, class, and graduation date don't match, I won't let you in."

“I really didn’t act.” Lu Mingfei sighed, thinking that the school’s newly hired security guard had too much inner drama. He honestly reported his information, “Lu Mingfei, Class 2, 2010 graduate.”

"Lu Mingfei? Why does this name sound so familiar?" The security guard frowned slightly. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked Lu Mingfei up and down. "You said your name is Lu Mingfei?"

“Is there anyone in this school with the same name as me…” Lu Mingfei didn’t quite understand the look in the security guard’s eyes, but in the few years he had been studying, he had never met anyone with the same name as him, and there were not many people with the same surname as him.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment, I'll be back soon!" The security guard turned around and ran away without giving any explanation, leaving Lu Mingfei and Eiry disheveled in the wind.

"What the hell is going on..." Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. He just came to the school to wait for his senior brother as agreed, but he happened to run into the school celebration. He didn't see his senior brother, and the school security guards didn't let him in. When they heard his name, they ran away as if they saw a ghost.

"Lu Mingfei?" An inexplicably familiar voice came from behind, "Is that Lu Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw a not-too-tall, long-faced boy getting out of a Buick LaCrosse and walking towards him quickly with some excitement.

"Who are you, handsome guy? Do you know me?" There was a hint of confusion in Lu Mingfei's eyes.

"It's faded, the relationship has faded. We've been classmates for so many years, but we don't know each other anymore after only two years of graduation!" The thin and long-faced boy looked at Lu Mingfei with a slightly resentful look, "It's me. I used to sit behind you and even glanced at your answers during the exam!"

"Oh, the guy sitting behind me!" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something. He leaned forward to look at the handsome boy's face carefully. "So who are you, the guy sitting behind me?"

At this time, another handsome boy with a long face who looked almost exactly the same got out of the car and walked towards the school gate, holding two flower baskets in his hands.

"Miaomiao, look who I met?" The first handsome boy with a long face moved aside, revealing Lu Mingfei's figure.

“Damn, isn’t this Lu Shenren?” The handsome boy called “Miao Miao” also ran up and approached Lu Mingfei, “I didn’t see you at the class reunion last year. Why are you back to attend the school celebration?”

Miaomiao... Lu Mingfei had an impression of this name. There were two people named "Miaomiao" in their class before. One was the piano beauty Liu Miaomiao, and the other was a twin brother...

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao?

Lu Mingfei looked at the pair of handsome young men who were overflowing with youthful energy. They indeed had exactly the same face, and were indeed a pair of twins... But he really couldn't connect these two people with the pair of greasy little fat guys who always followed Zhao Menghua in high school.

He would rather believe that the "Miaomiao" in front of him was Liu Miaomiao who had undergone sex reassignment surgery!

"You haven't changed much from two years ago. I recognized you at first sight. When you were standing on the street, I knew it was you just by looking at your back!" Xu Yanyan tried to get close to Lu Mingfei in a familiar tone.

"Really? You two have changed a lot." Lu Mingfei looked at the twin brothers who were completely different from his impression. Even if they stood in front of him and introduced themselves, he still couldn't recognize them.

"No, I just changed my hairstyle and outfit, not much." Xu Yanyan said, "If you attend class reunions often and check the class group more often, you won't be unrecognizable to your old classmates."

"My problem is my problem. I'm too busy with school." Lu Mingfei thought to himself, you guys just changed your hairstyle and outfit? You guys are just changing your head! No, your parents gave birth to another couple, right? Tell me, where are those loser little fat guys from before?

"He is still a God of Roads. He is always busy wherever he goes. He is nowhere to be found all day long." Xu Yanyan said with emotion, "I heard that you and Senior Brother Chu Zihang went to the same university? How often do you two keep in touch?"

"Actually, I came here this time just to make an appointment with my senior brother..." Lu Mingfei wanted to say something, but Xu Miaomiao beside him suddenly let out a strange cry.

"Oh my God, what a beautiful girl!" Xu Miaomiao's eyes widened.

His eyes were on Eiry who was standing next to Lu Mingfei.

"Oh my god, she's so beautiful!" Xu Yanyan noticed it only then, and reacted belatedly, "Lu Mingfei, this is your female... female companion!"

Perhaps he was shocked by Eri's temperament, Xu Yanyan didn't even dare to ask the word "girlfriend".

"My wife." Lu Mingfei put his arm around Eri's shoulders, his tone calm, but his expression looked like he was asserting his sovereignty.

"He's only had one official relationship in all those years of high school, and he suddenly brings back such a beautiful girlfriend. Lu Shenren is worthy of being called Lu Shenren!" Xu Miaomiao gave a thumbs up. "No wonder he came to attend the school celebration this year. He must have outshined a lot of girlfriends in the class. I wonder how many of the girls who had a crush on Lu Shenren in the past are secretly sad now!"

“Don’t talk nonsense, what secret love!” Lu Mingfei glared.

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao were still at the student level. They thought that the "wife" Lu Mingfei mentioned meant girlfriend. After all, school lovers always addressed each other in such mushy ways. They also thought that being liked by several girls at the same time was something very prestigious and worth showing off.

Little did they know that Lu Mingfei was already several steps ahead of them. He and Eiry had already met their parents and got married. Moreover, Lu Mingfei never thought that being liked by several girls was something worth talking about.

Maybe this is why he doesn't want to look at the class group anymore and doesn't want to attend class reunions anymore. He's dating such a sexy and hot girlfriend, he's buying such an expensive and limited edition luxury product, he's got such a great offer... While everyone is still comparing these things, Lu Mingfei has already saved the world directly or indirectly several times.

If Lu Mingfei was vain enough, he could borrow a Lamborghini or Ferrari from Su Enxi or Jiude Mai, buy a niche and extremely expensive custom-made suit, wear Patek Philippe, Omega and Cartier on his hands, order a table of Sublimotion or Noma, and show off his nouveau riche yet impeccable connections and financial resources in front of his old classmates... But this is no longer what Lu Mingfei pursues. The current Lu Mingfei knows very well what he wants.

"Why is Brother Lu standing at the school gate?" Xu Miaomiao asked, "The school celebration is held inside. The activities at the gate have already ended."

"Originally... later... I was planning to go in, but the new security guard didn't recognize me." Lu Mingfei felt it was a bit troublesome to explain, so he just pointed to the security booth helplessly and said, "The security guard went to verify my identity."

"Damn, there are still people who don't know Lushen?" Xu Miaomiao complained, "This new security guard is too ignorant!"

"What do you mean? Why must I know him?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

Xu Yanyan said: "Lu Mingfei hasn't been back for two years, so it's normal that people don't recognize him."

Chapter 935: Meeting Chen Wenwen Again

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I don't understand. I'm not that familiar with the original security guard." Lu Mingfei asked in confusion, "You guys are talking as if everyone in the world should know me."

"Not the whole world, but everyone in Shilan Middle School should know you." Xu Yanyan kept it a secret and put her arm around Lu Mingfei's shoulders. "You'll know once you get in. Let's go in together this time. I'll say hello to the security guards."

Lu Mingfei felt a little strange. Actually, he and the two brothers were not that familiar with each other. But when they met today, it was as if they were childhood friends who had been separated for many years.

And I always feel that the attitude of this pair of brothers is... a bit attentive?

Lu Mingfei and Huili followed the two brothers into the school. When they passed the security booth, the security guard happened to run out.

"Security boss, do you remember me? We were here two days ago." Xu Yanyan pointed at himself and Xu Miaomiao's faces, then at Lu Mingfei, "These are our classmates..."

Before Xu Yanyan finished speaking, the security guard suddenly nodded and bowed to Lu Mingfei: "Yes, yes, I checked, I checked, it is Mr. Lu Mingfei, it is indeed him, just now I had a bad attitude, I thought he was trying to sneak into the school under someone else's name, sorry, please come in!"

Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. This attitude didn't look like that of a school security guard treating graduates who came to visit the school. It was more like a hotel waiter entertaining a provincial leader. If someone didn't know, they would think that Lu Mingfei's family donated a building to the school.

"Remember that face." Xu Yanyan pointed at Lu Mingfei's face.

"I promise to remember it. I promise to remember it. Next time you come, you will be exempted from inspection." The security guard nodded repeatedly and promised. He glanced at Eri, "I will also remember the face of the beautiful lady next to you. I will let you pass directly next time you come."

The security guard personally used a swiper to open the access gate and invited Lu Mingfei and his companions in. Lu Mingfei still had a lot of questions, but the Xu brothers had no choice but to carry him into the school.

After Lu Mingfei passed the gate, he could only vaguely hear the security guard behind him communicating with someone on the intercom, saying things like "Yes, it's really Lu Mingfei, I've let him in", "There are also two of his classmates and an incredibly pretty girl... What car is he driving? I didn't see him driving!"

Lu Mingfei always felt that there was a misunderstanding. Did these guys mistake him for someone else? He used to be quite popular, but that was only limited to the class and some little girl groups in the school. When did he, Lu Mingfei, become so important that even the school guards had to recognize his face? He was not a candidate for the principal and his father was not the mayor.

As soon as he stepped into the campus, Lu Mingfei was shocked again. Not only had the gate of Shilan Middle School changed, the school itself was also very different. The entire campus had been completely transformed.

The original six-story standard teaching building was raised by more than one floor and all buildings were connected by elevators. A more than ten-story building with a high-end public facade rose from the ground in the center of the entire college, like a club for international friends to negotiate business. The plastic track was painted with new sky blue paint, and the football field was covered with real green grass. Two white male statues stood in front of the playground, one holding a triangle ruler and the other holding a globe.

For some reason, Lu Mingfei saw something familiar in the two statues of boys... but strangely, he couldn't remember where this sense of déjà vu came from.

"This is... Shilan Middle School?" Lu Mingfei was still in great shock as he looked at the campus which was almost identical to his memory.

He even wondered if he had accidentally entered a strange Nibelung.

"Yeah, Brother Lu, I didn't expect that our school would become like this after we graduated." Xu Miaomiao nodded and said, "This is all thanks to you."

"Thanks to me?" Lu Mingfei was even more confused. "What does this mean?"

As they approached the playground, Lu Mingfei's steps suddenly stopped. He looked up in surprise, his eyes as big as goose eggs, as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable.

The brothers Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao also stopped sensibly, stood on the left and right of Lu Mingfei, raised their heads and looked at the words on the two banners with Lu Mingfei, nodding seriously as they read.

"What is the meaning of appearance? This is the meaning of appearance!"

"I think it's not enough, and it's still a bit too one-sided. How can we explain our Brother Lu's excellence in just a few words?"

The brothers Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao were not surprised at all. Instead, they found it extremely reasonable.

"Lu... Mingfei."

A familiar voice came from behind me. It was a very small female voice, as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito. The words "Lu" and "Ming Fei" were separated by a long gap. I don't know if it was because she was too surprised that she paused for a long time, or if she was intentionally calling him in a more intimate way.

To Lu Mingfei, this voice was too familiar. It was not that he was very familiar with the owner of this voice, but in the entire three years of high school, there was only one person who called his name in this tone that was between weak and aggrieved.

Turning her head, she saw a plain white cotton skirt, the standard outfit for teenage literary girls. The skirt was embellished with simple lines and patterns, and the hem reached the knees. The plain white calves looked very slender, and she was wearing a pair of black lace-up leather shoes on her feet, with the white socks high enough to cover her ankles.

Her face was the same as I remembered, hardly changed at all. Her neck was so white that it looked a little sick, which formed a sharp contrast with her long black hair. There was nothing wrong with her facial features, except for her big eyes that always revealed an indescribable feeling of pity. Her whole body was almost entirely black and white, except for the book "The Garden of Forking Paths" in her hand.

Chen Wenwen, the president of the literature club, was once ranked among the top three goddesses on the Shilan Middle School Goddess List.

"Chen Wenwen?" Xu Miaomiao recognized the person at a glance.

"What Chen Wenwen? You should call her sister-in-law!" Xu Yanyan reminded her. He asked Chen Wenwen, "Sister-in-law, my brother Zhao didn't come with you?"

"Brother Zhao" is naturally Zhao Menghua, who was also a prominent figure in Lu Mingfei's class and a genius who was once listed on the "List of Those Who Should Be Killed", but his ranking was far lower than that of Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei.

If Lu Mingfei remembered correctly, Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua seemed to have gotten married. I don't know whether they got the marriage certificate or not, but at least they had the wedding ceremony... So there was nothing wrong with Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao calling her "sister-in-law". After all, the two brothers used to be Zhao Menghua's lackeys, and they became fat and white by relying on the pizza and hamburgers that Zhao Menghua treated them to. Although they have become two pretty boys now, the two brothers have not forgotten their roots.

"He...he went to the principal's place." Chen Wenwen lowered her head, and her cheeks and neck were all red. She didn't know if it was because Xu Yanyan's name made her shy or for some other reason, but her voice was smaller than a mosquito's buzz. "Don't call me that...this name is too weird."

"I understand. Sister-in-law likes to keep a low profile, right?" The more outgoing Xu Yanyan said with a playful smile, "Then what should I call her if not Sister-in-law? Sister Chen? Sister Wenwen? Wouldn't that be too intimate? Wouldn't Brother Zhao get jealous?"

"Just call...Chen Wenwen." Chen Wenwen's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. "We were all classmates before."

Chen Wenwen "inadvertently" glanced at Lu Mingfei, then quickly lowered her head. Her blush covered the back of her ears, and she held "The Garden of Forking Paths" tighter in her arms.

This expression made Lu Mingfei inexplicably think of a word...shy.

This girl probably doesn't need any training or makeup to play Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", Lu Mingfei thought.

"Long time no see." Lu Mingfei said to Chen Wenwen.

After all, he was an old classmate whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. He had just called his name and now he was standing in front of him. Lu Mingfei had to say hello out of both emotion and reason.

"Hello...long time no see." Chen Wenwen said softly, "I haven't thanked you properly the last time you helped me...since then we haven't met."

Lu Mingfei knew what Chen Wenwen was talking about. When Zhao Menghua was trapped in Nibelungen, she came to Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei rescued Zhao Menghua. After that, they got married and both converted to Catholicism. Since then, Lu Mingfei has basically cut off contact with everyone in high school...except Chu Zihang.

"Ahem, I'm really busy with my studies and can't spare the time." Lu Mingfei explained, "It's not that I didn't mean to miss the class reunion or anything like that. I just miss my old classmates when I suddenly see them."

This was already a very polite statement from Lu Mingfei, mainly because Chen Wenwen's tone was too easy to be misunderstood... They hadn't met since then, and Lu Mingfei couldn't tell whether there was a hint of grievance and complaint in her tone?

But why is it necessary to meet? We won't have any intersection in work or life in the future. After we each start a family, we can't be very good friends of the opposite sex. There is nothing to help or trouble... Isn't it the best state to not disturb each other?

It may sound a bit inhumane to say this, but Lu Mingfei feels that this is the reality of this society. After graduation, there are only three types of relationships between high school classmates. Either they stay in touch with each other and become lifelong friends, just like him and Chu Zihang. Or they curry favor with others when they need a favor. I heard that several old classmates from high school work for Zhao Menghua and Su Xiaoqiang. Or they will keep in touch with less and less people, and eventually drift apart. At most, they will get acquainted again at class reunions, but it is difficult to form true friendships.

"I'm sharing my recent book with you on QQ again. I wonder if you've seen it." Chen Wenwen said softly, "I've recently tried to read the type of book you liked in high school. I feel it's very profound... but a little too profound. I didn't understand some parts."

Chen Wenwen was referring to the book "The Garden of Forking Paths" in her hand. It was obvious that she was not lying, because she did not expect to meet Lu Mingfei here, and it was impossible for her to carry this book with her every time she went out.

Lu Mingfei actually read this book in high school, but he only read half of it... Nowadays, people no longer read such in-depth literary works as early as eight hundred years ago.

"Actually, sorry, I don't read extracurricular books anymore." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head, "Because I don't have much free time, and the study tasks assigned by the school are already heavy enough."

“What about in class…what will you read?” It seemed that Chen Wenwen even wanted to try reading Lu Mingfei’s professional books. She was obviously the president of the literature club, but in front of Lu Mingfei she was like a little girl who blindly imitated her idol.

"'Postpartum care for dragons.'" Lu Mingfei said casually.

"Dragon...what?" Chen Wenwen was stunned, obviously confused by Lu Mingfei's words.

“Don’t take it seriously, I’m just kidding.” Lu Mingfei waved his hands, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He didn’t know what to say to Chen Wenwen, so he casually said, “You haven’t changed much from before.”

"But I think... you have changed a lot." I didn't expect Chen Wenwen to give such an answer.

"How have I changed?" Lu Mingfei was a little curious about this.

"For example, your temperament seems more..." Chen Wenwen was about to say something when there was a sudden noise around her.
