Chu Zihang staggered to his feet, raindrops dripping down his black hair.
He raised his head, his golden eyes gleaming with the dazed feeling of surviving a catastrophe.
"You..." His voice was a little hoarse, "How did you do that?"
Lu Mingfei was panting heavily, but a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Well..." he scratched his head, "maybe it's because I run fast?"
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again:

……
Lu Mingfei didn't look closely because this wasn't the time for research; he still had to go back to Century New Star.
He looked around and found the wall in front of him somewhat familiar.
Is this Shilan Middle School?
Lu Mingfei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; he hadn't expected that he would actually go from Century Star to Shilan Middle School.
The two places are almost ten kilometers apart.
Chu Zihang keenly noticed the change in Lu Mingfei's expression: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Chu, how did you end up in that godforsaken place?"
Chu Zihang's eyes instantly sharpened.
He paused for a moment before slowly speaking:
"My original mission was to monitor you!"
Lu Mingfei's expression changed, and he immediately took two steps back, his eyes suddenly flashing with a golden light.
"what is your purpose?"
Chu Zihang sighed helplessly:
"My mission is to make contact with you and then monitor you!"
"what about others?"
"I don't know, my teacher didn't tell me!" Chu Zihang shook his head.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. He really wanted to ask more questions, but Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao were still at Century New Star.
If that old bastard Odin comes looking for trouble with them, he won't be able to explain it to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.
"Don't let anyone know that I saved you today, or you should know the consequences!" Lu Mingfei warned in a deep voice.
Chu Zihang nodded: "Okay! I won't tell!"
"Then I'll be going now, take care!" Lu Mingfei turned and ran.
Lu Mingfei did not continue to argue with Chu Zihang.
Under the influence of the boiling dragon blood within him (and perhaps also mixed with the System's usual style of doing things), he clearly knew the most urgent task at hand.
Since Chu Zihang's mission is to monitor me, there will naturally be opportunities to meet again in the future.
As for whether today's thrilling rescue operation will be leaked?
With Chu Zihang's intelligence, he would never make such a foolish choice.
If he were to reveal this, it could lead to misfortune for himself or those around him.
Then Chu Zihang will have to go lie in a coffin.
Chapter 37 Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?
When Lu Mingfei rushed back to Century New Star, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
The torrential rain, which had lasted for an hour, finally subsided and turned into a light drizzle.
The sky was slightly brighter, but the water on the streets was still ankle-deep.
He came running, splashing mud and water everywhere, looking like a drowned rat that had just crawled out of a stinking ditch.
The white shirt was soaked through and turned a muddy yellow, the trouser legs were covered in mud, and every step left wet footprints on the ground.
Standing before the magnificent gates of Century Star, Lu Mingfei hesitated.
Seeing himself in such a disheveled state, he feared the security guards would mistake him for a homeless person and stop him.
Just as he was hesitating, his fingertips suddenly touched a hard object in his pocket—the permanent VIP supreme card that Su Xiaoqiang had given him.
He took the card out and held it in his hand, then walked openly into the hall.
"Sir, what brings you here..." The duty manager was about to step forward to stop him, but when he saw the black and gold card, his smile instantly turned ingratiating. "Oh, you're a VIP! Please come in! Would you like a change of clothes?"
Lu Mingfei shook his head, flicked the water droplets from his hair, and strode towards the elevator amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd.
That little card has now become the best pass.
"Ding--"
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Lu Mingfei rushed into the gym covered in mud.
The staff member was about to stop them, but after seeing who it was, they wisely turned their face away—after all, this was a distinguished guest who had personally applied for a VIP card from Miss Su.
Lu Mingfei felt a pang of anxiety when he scanned the rest area and did not see Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang.
Has Odin already come?
He rushed to the front desk in three strides: "Where did the girl who came with me go?"
"She and Miss Su are in the lounge," the staff member quickly pointed to the end of the corridor.
After thanking him, Lu Mingfei hurried over. Just as he reached the door, the door to the lounge suddenly opened.
Liu Miaomiao closed the door with one hand and held her phone in the other:
"Dad, have you arrived? Yes, I'll wait for you here."
The moment she hung up the phone and turned around, she froze.
The boy in front of me was soaking wet, his shirt covered in mud, looking like a drowned rat.
Without the slightest hesitation, she stepped forward and grasped Lu Mingfei's dirty hand:
How did you get like this?
Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to pat her head to comfort her, but froze when he raised his hand—he couldn't bear to touch the girl in front of him, who was so clean she seemed to glow.
"It's okay," Liu Miaomiao said softly, taking his hand in hers.
This action sent a shiver down Lu Mingfei's spine.
He knew better than anyone that Liu Miaomiao only liked his piano skills, and had nothing to do with him as a person.
If he were to turn back into that loser, their relationship would probably revert to what it was before.
But now she looks even worse than a loser, why...?
"What are you doing?" Su Xiaoqiang's voice came from the doorway.
She leaned against the doorframe, her gaze shifting between the two men before finally settling on Lu Mingfei:
"Did you go roll around in the mud?"
Lu Mingfei withdrew his hand with a wry smile: "I just... went to play in the water."
"Tsk," Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes, "How old are you, still acting like a child."
Lu Mingfei offered no explanation.
He couldn't very well tell them that he had just gone to rescue Chu Zihang, and that he had even faced Odin face-to-face and stolen Odin's spear Gungnir, could he?
Moreover, he has already realized that mixed-race people are completely different from ordinary people.
He couldn't drag those two girls into the world of mixed races.
Otherwise, one day, something unexpected might happen.
"Go wash up right away!" Su Xiaoqiang pinched her nose in disgust and pointed at Lu Mingfei, who was covered in mud. "You're filthy!"
Lu Mingfei grinned, revealing his signature cheeky expression:
"Then thank you very much for your generous help, Miss Su!"
Su Xiaoqiang led him into the private lounge.
This space of about 20 square meters can be described as luxurious – it has a soft bed, a full-length mirror, a dressing table, and a delicate single bathroom in the corner.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Rich people really know how to enjoy life; even the gym has a bedroom attached.
Fearing that Lu Ming might take advantage of her and not clean the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in the bathroom...
"This is shampoo, this is shower gel..." Su Xiaoqiang patiently introduced the toiletries one by one. The rows of English names made Lu Mingfei dizzy, and he really couldn't tell them apart.
After giving her explanation, she turned to leave, but then suddenly turned back to warn him:
