Lu Mingfei stood up, turned his head to look at the storm behind the curtain wall glass, and said in a deep voice:
"Go and rescue a lost child!"
Chapter 34 Twilight
Watching Lu Mingfei's retreating figure, Su Xiaoqiang began to have some doubts:
"What's this guy up to? He's so secretive..."
She turned to Liu Miaomiao and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to my lounge."
As the "little princess" of this gym, she specially created a private lounge.
"Mmm," Liu Miaomiao responded, following behind her.
After walking a few steps, Su Xiaoqiang, without turning her head, suddenly asked:
"Liu Miaomiao, you've fallen for Lu Mingfei, haven't you?"
"Mmm!" Liu Miaomiao answered subconsciously, nodding.
But the next moment, Liu Miaomiao, realizing what was happening, widened her eyes and stared intently at Su Xiaoqiang's back: "You?!"
Su Xiaoqiang continued to lead the way:
"To be honest, I don't understand. It's only been a few days? And you've already 'liked' him?"
Her voice carried a pressing tone as she asked, enunciating each word clearly:
"What you like is ultimately him, 'Lu Mingfei,' the person—"
"—Or is it simply his 'strength'?"
"I..." Liu Miaomiao was speechless, her face flushed instantly, and the words of explanation stuck in her throat.
“Listen,” Su Xiaoqiang’s tone turned cold, “If you’re only attracted to his ‘power’ and not genuinely like him as ‘Lu Mingfei’, then I advise you to give up as soon as possible.”
"What if one day he turns back into the 'loser' you used to look down on? Would you still be able to accept that?"
"I didn't!" Liu Miaomiao retorted urgently.
"No?" Su Xiaoqiang's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Your reaction is perfectly clear! You've been blinded by this sudden 'power'!"
"If it were anyone else, as long as they showed you this kind of 'powerful' side that makes your heart flutter, you would fall for them too, wouldn't you say?"
"I'm sure you have absolutely no interest in the ordinary Lu Mingfei from before."
"Your current feeling is simply that you've discovered a 'potential stock' and want to seize it first."
"And what about you, Su Xiaoqiang?!" Liu Miaomiao was so agitated by her words that she blurted out the question.
Su Xiaoqiang paused in her steps.
Then, she smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of casualness:
"Me? What does this have to do with me?"
"Then can you guarantee," Liu Miaomiao's gaze was fixed on Su Xiaoqiang, her voice carrying a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness, "that you, Su Xiaoqiang, will definitely never fall in love with Lu Mingfei in this lifetime?"
She once again threw the pointed question back at her.
Su Xiaoqiang's steps came to an abrupt halt.
She turned around abruptly, without flinching, and met Liu Miaomiao's slightly provocative eyes head-on.
In that instant, that image uncontrollably surfaced in my mind—
The sense of security that came from Lu Mingfei's strong arm during the moment of weightlessness and falling;
And the shock of realizing that this "loser" actually possessed terrifying power.
Silence filled the air between the two, with only the increasingly fierce sound of rain pounding against the windowpane.
After a few seconds of silence.
Finally, Su Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, her gaze clear and open:
"to be honest--"
"I, Su Xiaoqiang, cannot be sure whether I will fall in love with him someday in the future."
She paused, then her tone suddenly became resolute, sharp:
But I can say with 100% certainty—
"If I've truly decided on Lu Mingfei as a person."
"Even if the earth explodes tomorrow, he'll completely revert to that 'loser' Lu Mingfei that you find utterly unattractive!"
"—I will still like him!"
"This is me, Su Xiaoqiang!"
boom!
Liu Miaomiao felt that Su Xiaoqiang had shattered her defenses!
Su Xiaoqiang has always been like this: frank, straightforward, and passionate.
Liu Miaomiao had no doubt that what she said was true.
Looking at herself... Liu Miaomiao felt a chill in her heart.
The possibility that Su Xiaoqiang pointed out—that what she liked might not be "Lu Mingfei" himself at all, but merely the "powerful aura" surrounding him—
She was merely a Twilight follower drawn by that powerful aura.
This realization made her feel ashamed.
It turns out that deep down, I am someone who is drawn to bright light.
Everything about Chu Zihang is already irrefutable proof.
This morning, she clearly left home with Lu Mingfei.
But when she learned that Lu Ming was going to the airport to welcome Chu Zihang back, the faint thought in her heart, like a dandelion seed blown by a strong wind, quietly drifted away to another place.
So, she left Lu Mingfei behind on the road and followed the dazzling figure.
So she deliberately walked alongside Chu Zihang, breathing the same air as him.
Therefore, when boarding the car, she chose to sit in the same car as Chu Zihang.
Thus, at the Regent Hotel, her gaze and mind were constantly focused on that focal point.
All of this is like a mirror, reflecting her true nature—admiration for strength and a strong sense of appearance.
This is her—Liu Miaomiao.
A bouncy teenage girl.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at the girl in front of him, who was biting her lower lip with her head down, and shook her head.
“I’m not trying to lecture you,” her voice softened slightly, “it’s just that your current state really isn’t right for him.”
She looked directly at Liu Miaomiao, her tone sincere:
"If you really want to be with him, you have to try to understand him, see clearly the person named 'Lu Mingfei,' all his good and bad, strong and weak points."
Her gaze turned serious:
"Instead of being blinded by his dazzling aura and becoming a superficial woman led by that aura."
"Otherwise, if he turned back into that loser the day he does, you would definitely leave him immediately."
She paused for a moment and then said, "That would be too cruel for him."
Liu Miaomiao remained silent, her lips pressed even tighter, offering no response.
Seeing her like this, Su Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat—
Was what I just said too harsh?
She sighed softly, turned around, and continued leading Liu Miaomiao toward the lounge.
Behind her, Liu Miaomiao remained silent, following in her footsteps.
……
As soon as Lu Mingfei stepped out of the elevator, his thoughts focused on accepting the mission.
The next moment, the semi-transparent system interface in front of me suddenly changed, unfolding into a simple and accurate map!
Two prominent dots are clearly marked on the map:
The green cursor represents himself, and the red cursor symbolizes Chu Zihang's position.
However—Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an icy hand!
The location marked by that bright red dot... was so close to him!
So close... just across the street!
Right across from him—where he was running, sweating profusely!
A heavy pressure instantly overwhelmed Lu Mingfei.
Chu Zihang? Shouldn't he be resting at the Regent Hotel?
Why are they here? So close to me?!
A strong sense of unease arose in his heart, and he even had the idea of not wanting to care about Chu Zihang and going back to protect Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao.
But he still forced it down.
"System, please don't mess with me, or I'll haunt you even in death!" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.
He had no time to hesitate!
Under the astonished gaze of the receptionist behind him—Lu Mingfei's figure had already shot off like a white arrow released from a bow!
Wearing only a thin white shirt, he ignored the howling wind and rain outside and plunged headfirst into the raging downpour!
Inside the hall, several staff members who witnessed the entire process looked at each other, stunned and speechless.
Without even borrowing an umbrella, the man rushed into the rain.
