Chapter 364 Epilogue: Twenty Years Later, the New Generation (Part 2)
Chapter 364 364. Epilogue: Twenty years later, the new generation (Part 2)
"Ying? Yuan Zhiying?" Chu Yufei's eyes widened in surprise, a strand of hair swaying on her forehead, "You are actually Yuan Zhiying! Don't you remember me!"
"You are...?" The other party's tone suddenly became very intimate, which made Yuan Zhiying a little at a loss. He thought about it carefully and it seemed that he had never come into contact with such a powerful girl in his life. It would be strange if he couldn't remember such a genius.
"I'm Xiao Feifei! Chu Yufei!" Chu Yufei pinched her cheeks and pouted, saying vaguely, "We've met before! When you were a child, you came to China with your godmother Eri!"
A memory buried deep in the heart was quietly awakened by Chu Yufei's words, and the image of a chubby little girl flashed in Yuan Zhiying's mind.
Yes, he remembered. He had indeed been to China when he was a child, with his aunt Uesugi Eri. His father said he was going to meet his old friends in China. Since he didn't have much time, he asked Eri to take him to say hello. The old friends were a couple. They had a daughter named Chu Yufei, which was a combination of one character from each of the couple's names. They were all children at the time, and Yuan Zhiying was even older, so the two children were playmates for a while.
Yuan Zhiying had to take a good look at the girl in front of her. The sixteen-year-old Chu Yufei was at the stage of growing up as a daughter of a wealthy family. Her whole body exuded the beauty of cherry blossoms. Although she was a bit of a girl with freakish strength, she looked very pure and cute. If she walked on the street, she would be the type that would be chosen by scouts. She was no worse than Saito Asuka, and there was no trace of the chubby girl in her memory.
"Is it really you? You are completely different from when you were a kid, and you even came to study in Japan?" Yuan Zhiying thought that it would be hard for them to meet again after that. It was hard to see each other across the sea and sky. Unexpectedly, they reunited in Japan many years later. The kids back then had grown up, and their first meeting ended in a fight...
"I was a little fat when I was a kid, but now I'm a bodybuilding weight! Don't mention my dark history!" Chu Yufei bent sideways, and her perfect waistline was faintly visible from the hem of her sailor suit. It looked like she did a lot of exercise. "It was my family's idea to study in Japan. It doesn't matter where I go. Besides, I've heard my mom tell me stories about Japan since I was a kid, so it's nice to come and take a look. Your dad is Yuan Zhisheng, is he as handsome as before? The head of the Snake Eight Families is a model of the domineering CEO! I didn't expect there would be such a person around me. Can I go meet him..."
When Yuan Zhisheng was mentioned, Chu Yufei became like a star-chasing girl and spoke shyly. Yuan Zhiying really didn't expect that her father had such a young fan on the other side of the ocean. For a moment, she felt that the world was a little magical.
"He is very busy and seldom has free time. If you really count, I haven't seen him for almost four months. The occasional contact is through phone calls." Yuan Zhiying had to laugh it off and temporarily put Chu Yufei's bad idea aside, otherwise this girl would definitely rush to Genji Heavy Industries.
"So busy? It seems that I won't have any chance to meet him?" Chu Yufei felt as if her interest was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water.
"If you really want to see him, I will take you there during the New Year's visit. The Japanese New Year does not conflict with the Chinese New Year, so you don't have to worry about not being able to return home."
A pleasant voice came from behind her, like the sound of a clear spring. Chu Yufei stood at attention instantly when she heard the voice, because the owner of the voice had just talked to her on the phone. From a standpoint, that person was her legal guardian in Japan, entrusted by her parents.
"It's been a long time since we last met, aunt." Yuan Zhiying stood still and saluted respectfully, and the entire Yamaguchi-gumi followed him and bowed.
"Hello, godmother..." Only Chu Yufei turned around stiffly like a puppet without a spring, and the smile on her face also froze.
In front of them, Eri, who had the face of a young girl, was wearing a black long skirt, simple Roman shoes, and carrying a plain monochrome bag. The rhinestones on her earrings shone in the streetlights.
Half an hour later, Genji Heavy Industries.
Behind the closed sliding door was a Japanese-style room, where Uesugi Eri and Chu Yufei sat opposite each other at a tea table, on which hung a Kansai iron kettle for boiling tea. Eri poured the tea skillfully, her slender fingers like white jade, her eyelashes fluttering like bird wings as she stared intently.
Chu Yufei lowered her head. In her memory, this was how Eri looked when she was a child. Now that she has grown up, Eri is still the same. She once curiously asked her mother how old Eri was, but no one around her was willing to tell her. The only thing she knew was that Eri was indeed her godmother appointed by her parents. Chu Yufei came to Japan to study, and her guardian in Japan was Uesugi Eri, who had the right to control this lawless little goblin.
"I think it's a good thing for you to meet Yuan Zhiying, but before that, I think I should talk to you about your great achievements on the Haiying artificial island." Eri pushed the hot tea on the ancient silk in front of Chu Yufei, "Describe it yourself?"
"I knocked down thirteen gangsters, the lightest of whom had a severe fracture. I also stepped on Yuan Zhiying like a puppy, but I didn't let him bark!" Chu Yufei raised her neck and deliberately added the last sentence, as if she performed quite well.
"That's good. At least there's one less person this time." Eri smiled faintly. "Do you remember why your parents sent you to me?"
"Remember... go to Yingmeng Middle and High School to learn how to be a lady with good character." Chu Yufei's voice was like the hum of a mosquito.
Sakuramoe Junior High School, as famous as Futaba Gakuen in Tokyo, is a famous girls' middle school with outstanding high deviation values and strong learning ability. Among the girls graduating from this academy, the most places are given to schools such as the University of Tokyo and Waseda University every year. The wife of the Emperor of Japan graduated from here.
In fact, according to the original development path, Chu Yufei should be studying at Shilan Middle School now, but she is too famous. If her name is mentioned locally, many people will say that she is a female devil, a goblin, or something like that.
For some reason, she was born very smart and strong. In order to cultivate her hobbies, her father asked her to learn from the Children's Palace. She was attracted by the bamboo sword at first sight when other girls were dancing. After 36 lessons and a little guidance from her father, she was unrivaled in the city.
逐渐长大以后长得也很漂亮,没少有同年龄的男孩递来情书,对此楚宇菲的回应统统都是一顿暴打。没想到打多了反而把那帮家伙揍出斯德哥尔摩综合症来,每天高呼菲菲菲菲我爱你,就像老鼠爱大米,根本不堪其扰,她揍过的人越多,粉丝团反而就越多,最后闹得满城皆知楚宇菲的暴力女魔头名声。
In order to get their daughter out of this kind of life and to curb her violent behavior, her parents decided to send her to Japan. Although she was supposed to go to a better school to study and become a young lady, Chu Yufei felt that it was more likely that out of sight, out of mind. Besides, without her at home, it would be easier for those two to do something shameful. She would never say that she fell asleep listening to the sound of her neighbor moaning the day before the exam, which caused her test paper to be 5 points less than the full score.
They are an old couple, but they are still passionate and have a great relationship. It is also precious. People say that there is a seven-year itch between husband and wife. Chu Yufei always feels that with the character of her two people, they will not feel itchy even after seventy years.
Therefore, after coming to Japan, Eri absolutely forbade Chu Yufei to use any violent behavior, especially if Yingmeng High School knew about it, she would be expelled. But it is difficult to change a person's nature. How could Sun Shangxiang, who had been wielding swords and guns since childhood, not stop playing with swords after getting married? Chu Yufei was the president of Yingmeng High School's Kendo Club. In her eyes, the techniques of other girls were simply child's play. As long as she made a move, everyone in the audience had to lie on the ground. Only in that kind of place could she have a legal pleasure.
"So did you do it?" Eiry's voice suddenly turned cold.
"No."
Chu Yufei lowered his head and admitted his mistake obediently. He looked so pitiful, like a soft little animal, shivering and curled up into a ball.
Every time this happened, Eri felt a little reluctant to continue teaching her a lesson. In fact, she knew why this was so. After the doomsday event many years ago, the bloodline of mixed-race dragons all over the world rapidly regressed, and the power of words would no longer appear in the world.
However, the descendants of mixed races still showed a phenomenon of being stronger than ordinary people in all aspects. Although there were no words such as the King's Judgment as before, they were still quite skilled in fighting with their talents. Chu Yufei was an example. Because of the relationship between Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, she was even stronger than other mixed race descendants. Bamboo swords were just toys to her. If she was given a real sword, it was very likely that the contemporary swordsmanship masters would be beaten to a pulp by her.
But this truth could not be told to her, the secret of the dragon clan had become history, and now was a brand new era that belonged only to humans. Even when Lu Mingfei told her stories about Japan, she deliberately blocked out the content related to the dragon clan, and only exaggerated it to say it was an era of super powers similar to the anime world.
Although she knew that those were all her mother's nonsense, Chu Yufei still became very interested in Japan and yearned for it. Studying in a Japanese school for young ladies was not a completely bad thing for her.
"You have to know that a lot of people have poured their efforts into you. They don't want you to become a violent gangster who does whatever he wants with violence. Your parents are so outstanding, you should be like them." Eri taught earnestly.
"Like them?" Chu Yufei sniffed. "Come on, do you mean not going home for several years, or flying around the world without notifying me?"
If Chu Yufei had to choose between her parents and Eiry, she would definitely choose Eiry. When her parents were traveling around the world in the name of archaeology, it was Eiry who flew from Japan to China to take care of Chu Yufei. Compared to her own nanny, Chu Yufei felt that Eiry was more like her biological mother. She was the only person she absolutely respected.
"They have things they have to do." Eri said that although the era of the dragon clan has passed, there are indeed many things that need to be completed. A museum of dragon history needs to be built, and undiscovered dragon relics still exist. As the only person in the world who has preserved his bloodline and the person who understands dragon language the most, Lu Mingfei is the one who should take the lead in this matter.
"Well, I understand. It's the adults' reasons. They won't tell me anyway. Even if I have to come back late today, I can just say that I have to work overtime. In fact, I'm probably hanging out in a bar, right? Come on, you've been married for 20 years. You're an old couple. Do you still think you're young? You're so energetic? Dry wood meets raging fire? You don't even care about your own children! If I hadn't knocked the thief down from the third floor with a stick when a thief broke into our house that year, you might not see me now! The headlines in the newspapers should be saying that a young girl was raped and killed by a rapist, and that I was wrong to use violence!"
Chu Yufei never has a good face when talking about her parents. Adolescence is the time when care is needed, but to her, her own sacred beasts are always elusive. The test paper with 120 points is just a toy for the two cats at home, Toshou and Sanae, to tear apart.
Speaking of those two cats, it was strange. They had been part of my family since I could remember. Now, after so many years, they were still as lively as kittens. Chu Yufei came to Japan to study, and there was no one at home, so she sent them to the home of a friend of her mother. Her name was Xia Mi.
It was said that this aunt Xia Mi had also visited me when I was a child, but Chu Yufei had no impression of her at all. She felt that she was a person with a low sense of existence.
"Do you think they don't love you?" Eri asked softly. She has always been such a gentle person, especially when facing Chu Yufei. In fact, judging from her eyes and eyebrows, this girl is quite similar to her mother, and they have many similarities in character.
"Wrong!" Chu Yufei crossed her arms, "I don't think I should exist at all! With their lifestyle, I'm just a burden. They'll be happier without me!"
Eiry silently took out her cell phone from her handbag, turned on the screen and placed it in front of Chu Yufei. Information of two tickets was displayed on it. The passengers were named Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang respectively. They landed at Tokyo Haneda Airport 5 hours ago.
Chu Yufei was stunned after taking a look. She really didn’t expect that her parents would come to Tokyo at this time.
"They came here just to see you." Eri smiled faintly.
"Bullshit! If they really came here for me, wouldn't five hours be enough for them to come here?" Chu Yufei turned her face away, looking disgusted.
"Just like the stories you've heard since childhood, Japan is also a very special place for them. There are always people and things to greet." Eri put away her phone, calmly put on her shoulder bag, and stretched out her hand to Chu Yufei. The posture was natural, like a girl in her twenties. "I'm going to meet them. Do you really not want to come with me?"
Chu Yufei glanced at the fingers that seemed more beautiful than her own, humming softly and placing her hand in Eri's palm.
"Let's meet, anyway...it won't hurt a bit. If they dare to beat me up, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
This is the truth. At least when it comes to swordsmanship, the father who taught me is no match for me anymore.
