Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 1: Darkness of the Rainfall (I)
The rain was falling heavily, crackling against the windows. The playground was covered in white. All kinds of private cars swarmed in, running around like headless flies. Everyone honked their horns and shouted their children's names.
Chu Zihang picked up a bucket of water and poured it on the blackboard. The water flowed down. He took the blackboard eraser and wiped it vigorously. The head teacher liked Chu Zihang very much. Not only was he good at studying and handsome, but he also wiped the blackboard more vigorously than others, leaving no dust behind. He often said to the students below, "If you are all as serious as Chu Zihang, I will feel relieved."
Chu Zihang always left very late. No matter his father's busy driver or that man, they never showed up at the playground as soon as possible on a rainy night like other parents. It was the same tonight. His father was a very busy man and would not remember to send a driver to pick him up. But the man's phone rang and it would take some time for him to come.
The classroom door was open, and the cold wind mixed with drizzle poured in, chilling him to the bone. Chu Zihang wrapped himself tightly in his coat and sat in the first row, staring out the window in a daze.
"Chu Zihang? Let's go together. The weather bureau said it's a typhoon and the rain won't stop !" A girl poked her head in as if she had been prepared. She had long, clear hair with a silver Hello Kitty hairpin on the end of her hair.
"Don't you know me? My name is Liu Miaomiao..." The girl didn't get an answer, and her voice became smaller and smaller, like the hum of a mosquito.
"I'm on duty today and will leave later." Chu Zihang nodded.
"Oh...then I'll leave." Liu Miaomiao said softly and retracted her head.
This was a lie. The duty had already been completed. Liu Miaomiao must have seen the shiny and reflective blackboard and knew that Chu Zihang was politely refusing. Girls still have to have some face and it would be embarrassing to continue to try to please someone who is being ignored.
Through the window, Chu Zihang saw Liu Miaomiao get into his black BMW. The car carefully drove around the crowd and drove away. He then stood up, took his umbrella and left the classroom, then turned around and locked the door.
He looked up and saw a girl squatting next to the pillar. He estimated that she had been squatting there for a long time. Chu Zihang had not seen her since he wiped the blackboard. The girls' uniforms at Shilan Middle School were British style, with red plaid skirts, loose white sweaters, black socks and square-toed leather shoes. The only differences between grades were the bow ties and cuffs. Judging from the pink and white bow ties, this was a first-year high school girl .
Chu Zihang felt for no reason that this girl was probably the same type as himself, either her parents were busy and couldn't come, or her family situation was complicated and no one was willing to pick her up.
After thinking for a few seconds, Chu Zihang opened the umbrella and stood beside her.
Many people think that Chu Zihang, who always has a cold face, is very cool, but the truth is that he is actually a nosy gossip. When he sees injustice, he doesn't need to yell, but just gets things done silently.
Lu Mingfei squatted under the eaves and leaned against the courtyard pillar to keep out the rain, muttering and cursing the fat boy Lu Mingze in her heart.
She is fifteen years old this year. It is said that she has a pair of very powerful parents. However, it is said that her parents are keen on roasting rabbits all over the world. They have to put aside such trivial matters as their daughter's education and let her live in her aunt's house. But her aunt's family also has their own children. Although her parents gave her a sum of child support, she always complained that it was not enough. It was all because of the fat boy Lu Mingze, who was the same weight as his height, who ate too much.
With two children in the family, the burden is naturally heavier, and everything has to be taken care of in two ways. Lu Mingze was very unhappy that this sister who suddenly came to his house had invaded his territory. Because of the difference between men and women, they had to sleep separately. Dad's originally good study was occupied by this girl. Everything had to be taken care of by her. Even Dad often looked at Lu Mingfei in a bad way, and secretly gave her pocket money more than once. If she was a beautiful sister, it would be fine, but she was wearing the girls' school uniform of Shilan Middle School, with a braided braid and black-framed glasses. It was really hard to like her.
It rained heavily tonight, and Lu Mingze deliberately held an umbrella and walked around the high school grade department like a fool, and he saw this careless sister standing under the eaves to avoid the rain. Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up and she shouted at him, but Lu Mingze smiled and waved his hand without looking back and ran in the opposite direction, waiting to see her go home soaked tonight.
Other people's siblings are of one mind, but my brother is a complete bastard!
The cold raindrops above her head suddenly disappeared. Lu Mingfei was startled and looked up to see an expressionless face. She almost fainted.
Oh my god! Our school idol Chu Zihang?
It is very simple to describe Chu Zihang. He is a good student with a good reputation in our school, Shilan Middle School. As long as he is there, other boys are trash.
When doing morning exercises every day, Chu Zihang, dressed in white, holding a notebook, would go back and forth to give everyone scores. Lu Mingfei, who was short, stood closer to the front, and she would always make eye contact with Chu Zihang, and then quickly look away.
Of course she didn't mean that, but if she saw Chu Zihang for a long time, maybe Chu's fans would find her interesting. Chu Zihang didn't know that the girls who admired him had spontaneously formed such a small group to exclude all girls who had contact with Oni-chan. If they were caught, they would suffer.
"Let's go together." Chu Zihang said lightly. It didn't sound like an invitation, but more like an order. With his expressionless face, you always feel that he will kick you into the rain if you dare to refuse.
He is not good at inviting girls, but his invitations have never failed. Chu Zihang naturally thinks that this is how he should talk when inviting girls.
"Uh... Thank you... Thank you for your grace?" As soon as he got nervous, he started to talk nonsense, and Lu Mingfei immediately covered her mouth. But Chu Zihang seemed not to have heard that nonsense, walked a little closer, held the umbrella to a suitable height, and walked down the stairs first. Lu Mingfei quickly stood up and patted her skirt to follow.
She wondered what kind of plot was this, an idol drama or a Hong Kong or Taiwan drama? An ordinary little girl who had never been flirted with by anyone suddenly hooked up with Mr. Chu, a wealthy man? If the bastards in school saw this, wouldn't there be gossip all over the place tomorrow?
Lu Mingfei shrank her neck and kept her head as low as possible. She didn't want to become the public enemy of Chu Zihang's fan club. Those girls were simply a group of little policemen, boxing and patrolling everywhere. If she couldn't afford to provoke them, couldn't she just hide from them?
Chu Zihang didn't know why the girl wanted to arch her neck towards him. Because she had been squatting by the eaves for too long, Lu Mingfei's hair was mostly wet, and all the water stains were pushed onto Chu Zihang's shoulders.
The road to the playground was not too far, and Chu Zihang had his own ideas, so he didn't plan to just walk away. He calculated the time, and the man's car would arrive soon, so he could lend the umbrella to the girl and just stand on the playground for a while.
The road was pitch black, and the street lights were so heavy that they could not even lift their heads. There were few students left on the roadside. Lu Mingfei dared to raise her head and look around, beginning to examine the handsome, expressionless face beside her.
There is a reason why he is called the only designated Onii-chan in the school. He always gets first place in the exams, is all-round in sports, is a role model, a good student at the municipal level, his father is a local business tycoon, and he is also handsome. Chu Zihang has so many halos on his head that even other children feel ashamed of themselves. He is the male protagonist who should live in an idol drama.
She couldn't understand how she could attract Chu Zihang's attention... On this cold and rainy night, could it be that Master Chu suddenly felt lonely and wanted to find a concubine to favor him and get rid of his loneliness?
Girls' feelings are always poetic. The poems in Lu Mingfei's heart are like the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky, and when she spits out, it is all sultry and muddy. On the surface, this girl joined the literature club, always following the popular fairy Chen Wenwen with a rustic look, but in fact, her biggest hobby is to observe everyone around her with the corner of her eyes, and Lu Mingfei arranges their every little action in her mind.
