Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 24: The Gate of Kassel (IV)
It sounded a bit lazy, as if he had just woken up. Lu Mingfei then realized the time difference. It was already late at night in the United States.
I think at this time, the senior brother was awakened from his bed by her overseas call. He turned on his phone reluctantly, half-pulled down his pajamas to reveal his flaming biceps. He saw the name of the caller in the dim light, and instantly became energetic and forced himself to chat ...
Damn, just thinking about it makes me excited! In this kind of romance story, the patience that the male protagonist has towards the female protagonist could one day be applied to Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei?
"Sorry... I forgot about the time difference and disturbed your sleep, senior brother." Chu Zihang couldn't see it at all, but Lu Mingfei still nodded and bowed very sincerely under the gaze , as if a Japanese girl was being scolded by her boss.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it when you go abroad." Chu Zihang's voice was still so calm, neither sad nor happy, just like the wind blowing through the leaves, rustling. It seemed that receiving Lu Mingfei's call was within his expectations.
Lu Mingfei thought to herself, okay, okay, I’m a country boy. I’ve never been abroad. I forgot about the time difference and disturbed your sleep. I’m stupid, but you shouldn’t frame me like this, right?
The gratitude that had just been ignited was poured down like a bucket of cold water. She didn't know whether Chu Zihang did it intentionally or unintentionally. Given his personality, it was probably just a casual remark. But the sensitive and fragile girl didn't think so.
Otherwise, why do people say that Master Chu is Liu Xiahui instead of Chu Liuxiang? In terms of emotional intelligence, there may be a Jiang Xiaoyu between him and Hua Wuque.
"Ah..." Lu Mingfei sighed.
"You sound like you're feeling depressed." Chu Zihang said calmly, "I thought you would like the invitation."
"No, no, no, I really like it. The rejection letters I received recently almost pissed off my aunt. With this invitation letter from Cassel, she will definitely be more calm." Lu Mingfei was angry at his lack of fighting spirit and felt sorry for his misfortune. "I am sighing for you, senior brother!"
"Me?" Chu Zihang's voice finally showed some fluctuations.
"Brother, do you know that there are many girls in Shilan Middle School who like you?"
"I know."
"But you neither agree nor refuse. When someone asks you for help, you just nod and step forward. When someone asks for three dates, you give them five snow pears. The better you behave, the more people think you are interested in them. You have been through so many flowers, but you have never been touched by a single leaf!" Lu Mingfei sighed, "Why do you have to be nice to so many people? You work so hard for them even though you don't like them."
Chu Zihang understood what she meant by sighing at him. Lu Mingfei actually wanted to ask why he was willing to help her but was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she beat around the bush and brought up other people's issues.
"Is this person of yours talking about you?" Chu Zihang was very straightforward.
“Ugh!” Lu Mingfei pressed her chest as if she was about to vomit blood. An arrow from the other side of the Pacific Ocean had just pierced her chest. Her face turned red. “Alright, alright, I’ll show my cards and admit defeat! Brother, you kill people with a quick knife without bloodshed. I’m no match for you!”
Lu Mingfei shouted loudly to cover up her damn shame, looking up at the sky, "According to your style, if you want to repay me, then we are even when you gave me the hairband !"
She has experienced what those girls' pink bubble dreams are like. If there is such a boy in your life who is rich, handsome, helpful and likes to help old ladies cross the road, any girl with eyes will like him!
"So you think I'm interested in you?" Chu Zihang was very straightforward.
"Fuck you, Senior Brother, are you going to tear my face off over the phone to satisfy me?" Lu Mingfei covered her face. "Even if my face is as thick as a city wall, your words are like armor-piercing missiles!"
"I'm sorry if you misunderstood me." Chu Zihang paused for a few seconds, "I help others when I have the strength, hoping that others can help me when they have the strength."
Lu Mingfei was stunned, thinking, "Brother, you are handsome, rich and talented, you are a winner in life, okay! Is there anything that can stump you?"
"Brother, do you think I am strong?" Lu Mingfei silently looked at her slender arms. She felt that carrying a bucket of well water was difficult. She didn't think that such an ordinary person like her could do anything to help Chu Zihang.
"Don't belittle yourself casually." Chu Zihang's voice was low and powerful, "Everyone has their own shining points. If you don't have them now, it's just because you haven't discovered them yet."
She had no idea how many times she had read these inspirational words in the magazines recommended by the school. Her homeroom teacher kept saying that persistence was victory and that one should study hard until one dies. Every time Lu Mingfei listened to them, she remained calm.
But for some reason, this bowl of chicken soup seemed to change its taste when it came out of Chu Zihang's mouth. The wolfberries used to cook the chicken soup turned into wild ginseng. A warm current went straight into Lu Mingfei's chest, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out.
People who lack warmth always imagine themselves as a bundle of gloomy straw, cold and dry, but they don't know that it is precisely because of this that a little warmth can ignite a blazing flame.
Lu Mingfei has never received any special encouragement since her parents left. Although her uncle and aunt support her, they will never touch her hair and say "well done" when she occasionally gets good grades. She is worthy of being my Mingfei.
"Thank you, Brother." Lu Mingfei said softly, "I am very touched, really."
"If a person has no confidence at all, then others will really look down on her." Chu Zihang said, "I saw you many times when I was in Shilan Middle School. Every time you lowered your head and pulled your head back so that your hair would hang down, so that you wouldn't have to meet other people's eyes."
Lu Mingfei was stunned. She had never dared to think that when she was standing in the crowd and looking at Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang was also secretly looking at her.
"I hope you can accept the invitation letter from Kassel College. You can also refuse it as you wish. This is a two-way choice. When you come here, you will live a completely different life from the past and encounter things you have never imagined. It may be a brand new beginning for you to change yourself. If you give up, just pretend that this thing has never happened. If you can't go abroad, take the college entrance examination and work hard to improve your score and strive to get into a better university. If you have any academic questions, I am happy to answer your confusion as your senior."
“Brother, you make it sound as if there won’t be any major changes for me if I stay in the country.” Lu Mingfei shouted in her heart, “Brother, you will definitely be shocked to see me like this now!”
