"Okay then, uncle, take your time. We're not in a hurry." Lu Mingfei glanced at Hui Liyi and smiled helplessly.

Yesterday afternoon they said goodbye to Mr. Shao and returned to their uncle and aunt's house. When they came back, they happened to catch their aunt cooking dumplings and forced them to have a meal together, but they happened to have not eaten yet.

Eri's appetite once again shocked her aunt. She ate forty large three-fresh dumplings!

According to my aunt, this girl will definitely have enough nutrition when she has children in the future!

Five days had passed since the last incident in Nibelungen. During these five days, they had been staying at Master Shao's place until everyone had at least recovered their ability to move.

Young Master Shao had no complaints about this. After all, with his wealth, it was no burden for him to support five or six idle people. Moreover, Lu Mingfei and Finkel seemed to be brothers with similar interests to him. Most importantly, it was Nono... If Nono could stay with him for a while longer, he would write a thank-you letter of one thousand words to each of Lu Mingfei and the others.

Unfortunately, after Lu Mingfei and the others got together, Nuo Nuo had no attachment to Master Shao's home. During this period, Master Shao found another opportunity to confess his feelings to the senior sister, but was undoubtedly rejected. However, Lu Mingfei followed Lu Mingfei's advice and was not so harsh to Master Shao this time, which made this guy feel that the senior sister was still interested in him, but because of ethical and position issues, she could not agree to him immediately.

So Nuo Nuo took out her anger on Lu Mingfei, saying that the suggestion she made was very good and that he should not make random suggestions next time... For a guy like Mr. Shao, a slap in the face would obviously be more effective than feeding him a sweet date.

However, what made Master Shao feel even more bizarre was the recovery ability of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, especially Lu Mingfei. He was clearly already halfway through death when he was sent here, but within less than a week, he could already walk... This was not a medical miracle at all, it was simply a supernatural event!

Thanks to his extraordinary bloodline and physique, Lu Mingfei has no problem walking, but his internal organs are not fully healed yet, and strenuous exercise can cost him half his life. However, he has to go out today, as he and his senior brother, Nuonuo and others have made an appointment to meet at Shilan Middle School.

Because this morning is also the day when the city's flights and ports reopened. Previously, due to successive heavy rains and typhoons, traffic was blocked for a period of time. After a week of rest, the entire city resumed work in full swing from today.

The next month will be sunny, and experts predict that the future rainfall will be less than one-tenth of the rainfall in the first half of the year. It is as if that short yet long week has already brought all the rain for the city for the next year.

The flights have been resumed, which means that the people sent by the academy will arrive in this city today. The elements in this city were in such chaos a week ago, and the academy must have been on high alert.

But the strange thing is that Lu Mingfei and his friends haven't contacted the academy much these days, but the academy hasn't contacted them either. This attitude is really intriguing, as if the academy has already classified them as "untrustworthy".

However, the most crucial point is who the college will send this time. Lu Mingfei and the others met at Shilan Middle School to prepare for the final coordination of testimony.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I can go out." An uncle in a branded suit strode over, his hair oiled and combed back, and his BMW car keys pinned to the most conspicuous place on his waist.

"Uncle, are you going to the banquet later?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help asking as he looked at his uncle's outfit.

"No, I'm going to work later." Uncle said, "Before going to work, I have to take you to school. I heard that Shilan Middle School is going to hold a return-to-school ceremony today. I'll go take a look before leaving."

“How come I didn’t know that Shilan Middle School was holding an event?” Lu Mingfei’s implication was that even he, the student, didn’t know about it, so how did his uncle know?

"Oh, I added your principal's contact information for the teacher appreciation banquet last time." The uncle said, "He posted it on QQ last night, and I saw it."

"The principal... is quite trendy." Lu Mingfei was too tired to complain.

Chapter 1018 Sense of Belonging

A white BMW sedan shuttled through the city streets. Today was a day of full resumption of work, and there were quite a lot of cars on the road. Each traffic light was stuck for several minutes, but the uncle was obviously an experienced driver. The cars in front, behind, and on both sides were honking their horns impatiently, but he was still leaning on the newly bought seat pillow, calm and composed.

An old song from ten years ago was playing in the car stereo, "I Really Love You", and my uncle was humming along. The original singer Wang Jie's voice was hoarse and affectionate, and my uncle's voice... was also quite refreshing.

"There are so many cars." Eri leaned against the glass and looked at the hustle and bustle of the road. She remembered that when she first came to this city, it was not so prosperous. The number of pedestrians and cars on the streets was almost comparable to that of Tokyo.

"Of course, everyone in the city is out today. Chinese people are like this. They can't sit still at all." The uncle hooked one hand on the steering wheel and turned to Lu Mingfei and Eri. "You were away a few days ago. You don't know how scary the windy and rainy weather was. I heard that several trees were blown down. A psychiatric hospital in the suburbs was attacked by terrorists. The TV was reporting it. The street office and the neighborhood committee distributed documents to every household, saying that people are not allowed to go out unless it is necessary. For three consecutive mornings, people delivered rice and eggs to people's homes, making people panic, as if the world is coming to an end... Oh oh oh oh, I'm secretly falling in love with you!"

Before my uncle finished speaking, the music in the car reached its climax. As a microphone master, my uncle certainly couldn't miss this part and howled along with it.

Lu Mingfei and Eiry looked at each other, wondering how their uncle would feel if he knew that the so-called terrorists who attacked the suburban hospital were sitting in their car.

"I saw the news. The weather was really bad a while ago." Lu Mingfei echoed his uncle's words, "But it's not too bad. Some trees and telephone poles were damaged, a few windows were broken, and many cars were flooded, but it doesn't seem to have caused too much damage."

"I always lack the courage to say that I really love you!" After singing, the uncle nodded and seamlessly switched to the topic with Lu Mingfei, "Well, everyone should have a smooth life in the second half of this year."

"Is there any explanation?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Well, it's a custom in coastal cities like ours. People in the countryside used to say that auspicious snow means a good harvest. A heavy snowfall at the end of the year means a good harvest next year." The uncle explained, "It's the rainy season here. If there's a really, really heavy rain, the bad luck of the second half of the year will be washed away, and the next period of time will be good weather and good harvests."

“There is such a saying.” Lu Mingfei sighed.

"They are all old calendars. Only older people believe in them now. You young people should just treat them as superstitions." The uncle laughed and was quite open-minded.

"No, what I said makes sense. Otherwise, why did the ancients always say that the sky clears up after the rain?" Lu Mingfei also looked out the window at the busy streets and said softly, "No one likes bad weather, just like no one likes separation. But you have to wait for something to happen before you know how rare peace and happiness are."

"Oh, Mingfei is young, but he has deep feelings." The uncle laughed generously, "Very good, very good, the children of our Lao Lu family are open-minded, you follow me in this regard, next time when you accompany your uncle for a drink, we can have a good chat about life."

Uncle and Lu Mingfei chatted casually along the way, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. Even though there were a lot of cars on the road and they would be stuck in traffic for several minutes from time to time, uncle said that the traffic would not be so congested in a few years because the government had planned several subway lines and construction would begin in the second half of the year. The old city was also ready to develop. When Lu Mingfei and Eri return to this city in a few years, they are afraid that the city will have changed so much that they will not be able to recognize it. It would be good to come back and develop at that time. After all, no matter how big the outside world is, it is not as safe as staying at home.

Lu Mingfei smiled and said that after he completed the internship at school and got his diploma, he would see how the school arranged things for him. He would think it would be great if he could apply for a job back home. In fact, he didn't have such big ambitions. He would be content with having a house of his own, a stable life, and not having to worry about food and drink.

Along the way, Eri was looking at the city outside the window, quietly listening to the uncle and nephew chatting about all sorts of things. Some of them were talking about family matters, and some were discussing life. She had never experienced such a feeling in Tokyo. It was as if she also belonged to this city and had gradually integrated into other people's lives. The joys and sorrows were all real, not just from what she saw on TV anime.

Perhaps the name of this thing is "sense of belonging".

The white BMW slowly stopped at the gate of Shilan Middle School.

Shilan Middle School is quite lively today, with many people, because today is the first day of resumption of classes. The energetic freshmen wearing sky blue school uniforms walked into the Pantheon-like gate. There were several more security guards, and their radar-like eyes scanned the faces of the people entering the school to prevent any scum of society from trying to sneak into the sacred school.

There is also a whole row of luxury cars parked in front of the gate of Shilan Middle School, from Mercedes-Benz to Porsche, from Bentley to Aston Martin...My uncle's BMW 3 Series is considered the top of the pyramid in his old community, and it is not good enough to be placed here.

"As expected of an aristocratic school, the enrollment quality of Shilan Middle School is really high this year!" After parking the car, the uncle got out and looked at the various noble car logos. His drool almost wet his brand-name tie.

“There should be quite a few who paid to get in.” Lu Mingfei said, “After all, it doesn’t mean that just because your family is rich, you will definitely get good grades.”

"But it's also good for the school and other students that someone is willing to spend money." The uncle expressed his opinion from the perspective of capital. "With sufficient funds, the school can equip students with better teaching equipment and teaching teams. High school and junior high school are also different. Some students have weak foundations, but as long as they are willing to learn, coupled with good teaching quality, their future will definitely not be bad."

“That’s true.” Lu Mingfei nodded. Before he could take a step, two figures came out from nowhere and held him on the left and right.

"Found it, found it, I found Brother Lu!" said the handsome guy on the left.

"150,000, 150,000!" the handsome man on the right said excitedly, "We found it together. Let's split the reward given by the little goddess!"

Lu Mingfei looked left and right, and saw the same face on both sides.

"What are you two doing?" Lu Mingfei asked the brothers Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao.

"Brother Lu, where have you been? You've been out of contact for several days. My classmates called you but couldn't reach you!" said Xu Yanyan.

"The little goddess posted a message, offering a reward of 150,000 yuan to find you. He said he suspected you were kidnapped by terrorists!" Xu Miaomiao explained, "Some people also said that you were swept away by a typhoon."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine." Lu Mingfei glanced at his uncle. Fortunately, his uncle didn't suspect anything and thought it was just a joke among classmates. "Didn't the reward for that post reach 100,000? I remember it."

"Hey, Brother Lu, you knew about this?" Xu Miaomiao was stunned. "It started out at 100,000 yuan, but no one could find you, so the little goddess started increasing the offer, adding 10,000 yuan a day. Oh, and if you had shown up a few hours later, maybe it would have risen to 160,000 today!"

Lu Mingfei was shocked again. He really didn't expect that the little goddess could do this... He was a little scared.

Young Master Shao must have known about this, but he had been hiding it well. It seemed that the guy was indeed quite loyal... What Lu Mingfei had not expected was that Shao Yifeng had long imagined them to be some kind of international super-powered spies. If their whereabouts were revealed, the entire Black Prince Group would be doomed to fail. He would not do such a stupid thing.

“Go away, you are trying to make money from your classmates.” Lu Mingfei hit both Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao, “I came here today to clarify this matter. I am not missing. I just went out of town for some business a few days ago. Wasn’t the signal bad during those days?”

Obviously Lu Mingfei lied. He didn't come here today to clarify the matter. He had made an appointment with everyone from Kassel College to meet here. He didn't even know why he met Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao here today.

Last time I asked my senior to meet here, I think I met these two guys first, right? It started exactly the same way. It seems that I really can't meet here in the future. I don't know why these old bastards who graduated like to run to high school one by one.

"Lu Mingfei!" A familiar girl jumped out of a high-end Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, and two other girls followed behind her, walking quickly towards Lu Mingfei.

Su Xiaoqiang, Liu Miaomiao, Chen Wenwen... Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw this lineup.

Why are all these high school classmates here together again? And in front of Shilan Middle School? Is Shilan Middle School's resumption of classes today also related to them?

“Long time no see…” Lu Mingfei didn’t know how to start. It would not be good if he acted too intimate or too cold, as Eiry was still watching him.

"Are you okay? Where have you been? Everyone has been looking for you these days, but no one can contact you!" Su Xiaoqiang walked around Lu Mingfei, as if to see if Lu Mingfei was intact and whether he had any missing limbs.

Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen behind him also kept staring at Lu Mingfei, and their eyes made him a little nervous.

"I really wasn't here during this period..." Lu Mingfei was about to explain when Su Xiaoqiang suddenly pulled him aside.

"You can fool a fool with this, but don't try to fool me. You didn't leave the city at all!" Su Xiaoqiang glared and said to Lu Mingfei in a low voice, "Don't you remember the car I borrowed from you? Later, the police called me and said that the car was found in a nursing home in the suburbs. They also asked me if I was involved in a terrorist attack!"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself that something was wrong and he almost forgot about borrowing the car.

“I’m sorry, I lent you the car and broke it, and you had to ask someone to tow it back.” Lu Mingfei was really apologetic. “I’ll compensate you for the car.”

"No need. You know I'm not here to talk to you about the car compensation." Su Xiaoqiang stared at Lu Mingfei. "What happened at the Sacred Heart Hospital? I heard a building was blown up! How did you get involved in such a thing?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's a floor, not a building." Lu Mingfei thought that the rumor was getting more and more outrageous. "We went to Sacred Heart Hospital that day to look for Senior Brother's mother. Her mother was probably hospitalized there. You know that hospital is full of rich people. It was probably targeted by some human traffickers. Anyway, nothing happened to anyone in the end. We hid at Master Shao's place for a while and came out after the news died down."

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had thought of a second set of wording in advance. At this moment, he finally understood why people often say that telling a lie requires covering it up with more lies. In the end, he simply pushed it all onto Master Shao... Master Shao had already taken enough blame, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

"Mr. Shao? Are you talking about Shao Yifeng?" Su Xiaoqiang didn't expect to hear this familiar name from Lu Mingfei. "How do you know Shao Yifeng?"

"It's not that I know her, it's my senior sister. She is quite familiar with Mr. Shao." As soon as Lu Mingfei said this, Su Xiaoqiang's eyes showed contempt.

When Lu Mingfei saw Su Xiaoqiang's expression, he knew that she must have thought something wrong. He thought that Mr. Shao's reputation was really not very good. Once a woman was associated with him, people's first reaction would be that he had a relationship with wine and women.

"Don't think too much. My senior sister and Mr. Shao are just elementary school classmates. Mr. Shao has been pursuing her, but she has a fiancé." Lu Mingfei explained.

"Oh, the 'perfect angel' that Shao Yifeng keeps talking about is your senior sister." Su Xiaoqiang suddenly realized, "Is your senior sister so good? I think Shao Yifeng has been bewitched into a fool."

"It's not that it's so good, it's just the feeling of white moonlight, you know." Lu Mingfei felt that he couldn't stay on this topic with Su Xiaoqiang any longer. He looked around and asked, "Have you seen my senior brother? Oh, by the way, why are you all here at school today?"

"Brother, I didn't see it. I just arrived. As for why we are all here..." Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei dimly, "It's all because of you."

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused, "What do you mean..."

Before Lu Mingfei finished speaking, another familiar voice floated over.

"Lu Mingfei, do you know that you are late? And you are still here chatting up girls?" Nuo Nuo walked over quickly, obviously a little angry.

"This is my classmate, senior sister..." Lu Mingfei was about to explain when one of his arms was grabbed by Nuo Nuo.

Nuonuo grabbed Eri with her other hand and pulled them to Shilan Middle School in a very tough manner. She also turned around and said hello to Su Xiaoqiang and the others: "Hello, classmates. Goodbye, classmates."

Su Xiaoqiang stood there in a daze, staring at Nuo Nuo's back. This was probably the first time she had seen a girl who could surpass herself in terms of imposingness and heroism. She still remembered how Lu Mingfei addressed this girl just now... Senior Sister.

"Who is that?" Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen couldn't help but come forward and ask.

"Maybe it's an 'angel'." Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes.

Chapter 1019: Come to see Brother Lu Mingfei

"Angel?" Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen were both confused.

"That's what my senior sister meant. I remember her." Su Xiaoqiang's face showed a look of reminiscence. "Don't you remember? Two years ago, when we graduated from Shilan Middle School, we all went to participate in the interview of Kassel College at the Regent Hotel."

"She was one of the interviewers at that time!" Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen both showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"A woman who has bewitched Shao Yifeng to such an extent that he can't find his way around is definitely not a good person." Nono and Lu Mingfei were no longer visible. Su Xiaoqiang looked away and said in a voice that only he could hear, "Stupid, it's good that she's fine. Who asked you to pay for the car?"

"Little angel, little angel, should we continue with our class reunion today?" Xu Miaomiao came up and asked, "Originally, the theme of today's class reunion was 'Finding the missing Lu Mingfei'. Now that Lu Mingfei has been found, should we continue with the reunion?"

"Go on, why not?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her eyebrows and turned back into the proud little goddess. "Without Lu Mingfei, we can't even have a class reunion? How can he have such a big face?"

"Call out everyone who can, and go to the Regent Hotel. I'll call their manager and book the whole place!" Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said proudly, "The theme of this class reunion is 'Fuck Youth'!"

"Isn't it a bit inelegant?" Xu Miaomiao was shocked by the boldness of the theme name.

"What's the point of being so elegant at a class reunion? We should just have fun!" Xu Yanyan rubbed her hands excitedly. "Quick, quick, call the guys to urge them. We've booked the Regent Hotel this time. Their grilled lamb chops are incredible!"

The two brothers walked excitedly in front, sending messages or making phone calls, just like two intelligence agents delivering news of victory.

Su Xiaoqiang was hanging behind, and Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen followed beside her. None of the three girls spoke, as if someone was not there and they had nothing to talk about.

The connection between people is sometimes so fragile. Your relationship with others is barely maintained through the relationship with another person. Once that person is getting farther and farther away from your life, the bond may break one day.

"I've decided. My next boyfriend is going to be a foreigner." Liu Miaomiao suddenly smoothed the hair around her ears, and the face of the little piano-playing beauty was revived in the sunshine.

Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen looked at her in surprise, not understanding why this girl, who was always regarded as a well-behaved and quiet princess in the eyes of others, suddenly said such vicious words.

"I read in a book that a girl's most beautiful years are actually only a few years. Since a relationship doesn't even have a chance to start, don't waste your most precious years of youth on the same person." Liu Miaomiao said in an open-minded tone, "Why not take advantage of these years to have fun and enjoy your youth."

"You don't need to look at me with such weird eyes." Liu Miaomiao stuck out her tongue, as if she noticed the strange looks from Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen. "I'm not that well-behaved, but my family is strict and I can't do anything about it. Now that I've grown wings, I should fly on my own. Since the person I like can't catch up with me, I might as well try something new boldly."

"I really envy you." Chen Wenwen showed a fascinated look. This was probably the first time she opened her heart in front of these two equally beautiful girls, but she immediately added in a low voice, "I'm talking about your personality. My family may not be so strict, but I have never dared to be too rebellious."

"It doesn't matter whether you are rebellious or not. What matters is how you act." Su Xiaoqiang patted Chen Wenwen's shoulder, then patted Liu Miaomiao's. "Liu Miaomiao is right. When you are young, you should do more things that make you happy. Loving someone is like climbing a mountain or crossing a river. If I can't climb the mountain or cross the river, do I have to drown in the river? There are so many rivers in this world, and every river is beautiful."

Su Xiaoqiang gave Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao a charming smile that was different from the one she had in her student days, and then walked quickly forward. The moment she passed by them, her smile gradually disappeared, and no one could see the expression on her face.

Just like no one knows whether what Liu Miaomiao said just now was true or not.

Maybe she really thinks so, but whether she will do so or whether she can achieve it is not certain.

Some people’s youth is a documentary, some people’s youth is a fantasy film, and some people’s youth is a comedy. The core of the comedy may be a small tragedy... But fortunately, youth is only a few years, and the most beautiful time is over in the blink of an eye. Whether it is sweet, bitter, or sour and astringent, it is quite worth savoring, and can only be savored.

Just like this city after the rain, the washed blue sky can be seen between the gaps between the tall buildings. No matter how heavy the rain is, it will only last for a short week. After the rain stops, the city streets are still crowded with people, and the future will never stay for a heavy rain.

Boys and girls are walking on the crowded street. Not all of them have successful careers and a promising future, but at least they are young and beautiful.

All the classmates are not mean.

……

"You are late." Nuonuo pulled Lu Mingfei and Eri to the playground of Shilan Middle School, turned her head, clasped her hands in front of her chest, stared at Lu Mingfei and said.

"I know, I know, I know. Senior sister, you have said this more than ten times before we entered the school." Lu Mingfei put on a posture of begging for mercy, "Master, please stop reading. Wukong really knows he is wrong."

"Do you know why we met together today?" Nuo Nuo was still adamant.
