Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 3: Darkness of the Rainfall (Part 3)
Lu Mingfei was filled with envy. She was just about to say a few nice words like "brother, your father is so good to you, and he never forgets to pick you up even on a typhoon day," but she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that Chu Zihang's cold face didn't seem to be interested in men, and his waving was just a symbolic gesture to show that he was there, without any family intimacy.
Something in her heart moved, and she turned her head to carefully look at the middle-aged man sitting in the car. His face was a little oily, his hair was combed meticulously, and he looked handsome. He was wearing a black suit and a tie. At first glance, he looked like a boss who drove to pick up his son. But his smile was too humble, like a dog trying to flatter his master, so humble that he kept looking at Chu Zihang's face with a silly smile.
Chu Zihang's father? Not really. Lu Mingfei felt that he was more like a driver for Chu's father. Senior brother was such an awesome person, how could the father of a CEO be such a man?
The car slowly stopped beside the playground. The man quickly opened the door and opened a huge black umbrella to greet them. Chu Zihang didn't even look at him. He opened the umbrella and walked to the car in the rain. He opened the back door and got in.
Hey, hey, isn't this bad, brother? Even if it's your own driver, you can't be so rude! Lu Mingfei secretly complained. Chu Zihang's behavior really surprised her. Chu Zihang, a good boy who always helped an old lady when crossing the road, was so rude to his own family?
The man's flattery received no response. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Lu Mingfei: "Zihang's classmate?"
"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Hello, uncle."
Most people will treat girls well as long as they are polite. Lu Mingfei knows this very well. Even if she is still feeling girlish and sentimental in the last second, she can put on the smile of a good girl next door to deal with it in the next second.
"No one from your family is here to pick you up in this heavy rain? Let's get in the car. I'll give you a ride!" The man was very enthusiastic because he could tell that the Burberry umbrella in the girl's hand belonged to Chu Zihang.
He knew his son's character very well. Although he performed well in school, he was not very friendly and kept a distance from everyone. Tonight, he drove over and saw Chu Zihang standing with a girl. The gossipy heart of the man was ignited. He thought, Zihang has finally figured out how to pick up girls while he is still young? He is quite like me in my old days. How can a father not help him?
"Ah? Is this... appropriate?" Lu Mingfei pretended to be very embarrassed, but the little man in her heart was already singing and dancing with a fan in hand. A luxury car offered to pick her up in this cold and rainy night, which was hundreds of times more comfortable than walking back in the rain slowly.
"It fits perfectly!" The man was not polite. He patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and laughed, then sent her to the car.
The car door opened, and Chu Zihang saw Lu Mingfei being brought over by a man. Without saying a word, he moved his body to give her the seat near the door.
"I'm sorry to bother you, senior brother." Lu Mingfei continued to act innocent, thinking to herself, it was your driver who asked me to come, it's not that I'm thick-skinned!
Chu Zihang nodded calmly, which was considered as his agreement. Ever since that man appeared, Chu Zihang had become more and more indifferent. Lu Mingfei didn't know what the feud between him and the driver was, so she just wanted to get a ride, sandwiched between the two of them, not listening, not saying, not understanding, not asking, and acting like a living Buddha.
This was the way she was good at dealing with things. She never took the lead in anything and never got involved. When her aunt and uncle quarreled at home, she acted as a complete outsider and did not help anyone, thus successfully avoiding countless disasters.
The car door was locked, and in an instant, white light rushed into Lu Mingfei's mind, and countless fragments flashed by.
Thunder and lightning flashed, and heavy rain poured down. The raindrops seemed to be so dense that they collided and smashed into pieces in the air. A huge black shadow sat on an eight-legged horse as big as a mountain, holding a curved spear in his hand. The arc of the spear was like the trajectory of a meteor across the sky. Countless dark ghosts were shrouded in robes and surrounded the horse. Some ghosts lay outside the windows of the high-speed car and whispered. They spoke a language that Lu Mingfei had never heard of, but she could understand it.
I am so thirsty and hungry. Is that the child? Share his flesh and blood!
She shuddered slightly, her head ached, her hands and feet were cold, and she took a deep breath while leaning on the chair. When she came to her senses, the Maybach had already started, and it swung out a huge arc on the playground, splitting the rain curtain like a sharp blade, and rushed out of the gate of Shilan Middle School. The security booth opened the horizontal bar for this super luxury car from a distance, and stood upright with his chest puffed out to watch it leave.
Lu Mingfei occasionally sees strange scenes like a movie screen, and she has never told anyone about it, only treating it as her own special secret. If you can do something that others can't do, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are a genius protagonist, but it may also be because you are a complete monster . She is afraid that she belongs to the latter.
Most of the scenes that we saw were very fantastic, like a little boy pulling a little girl to escape from a sea of fire, or a flying ancient dragon dragging a human fighter jet in its palm. Sometimes, there were no people at all, and only bloodstains .
But sometimes the hallucinations would come true. For example, before entering Shilan Middle School, she never dared to think that her aunt would be willing to send her to such an aristocratic school. On the day when the exam results were announced, she saw herself wearing the Shilan Middle School uniform and making a V hand gesture in front of the gate for a photo. When she returned home, she heard that her aunt had decided to send her to Shilan.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei has always attached great importance to these strange hallucinations. She thinks that this phenomenon occurs because she is too addicted to novels and games. Her mind is always full of illusions, which causes reality to be distorted occasionally and develop according to what she sees.
The problem is that what we saw this time was a bit too exaggerated. A man riding an eight-legged horse as tall as a mountain? Holding a curved spear? Standing on the road? With a group of ghost minions? There should be a limit to time travel, okay? It's like asking Hello Kitty to fight Godzilla. The styles are different, so what's the point of the fight?
I must have played too many games recently, and my vision was affected! Lu Mingfei shook her head, clearing the fragments of these strange images from her mind.
"It's raining so hard, and your mother didn't even know to pick you up."
"Luckily I didn't go to wash my car in the morning. It costs 80 yuan per wash. It rained heavily in the evening. Hey, wouldn't it be nice to just wash it for free? I can buy a few more large intestines with the money I saved!"
"The security guard at your school is really tactless. He tried to stop me from entering at first, but it didn't work no matter how I tried to persuade him. Finally, he got mad at me and told me that I paid over 9 million yuan for this car and no one dared to stop me at the municipal government. How come Shilan Middle School is more powerful than the municipal government? He immediately gave in and let me through, haha."
The man fiddled with the steering wheel in a casual manner, chattering with Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned on the radio. The announcer's voice made him feel more peaceful than the man's voice.
Lu Mingfei hid in the corner with her neck shrunk, pretending to be asleep, but her ears were perked up to eavesdrop.
This habit has been around for a long time. Uncle and aunt have quarreled over the two children in the family for many years. Every time Lu Mingfei pretended to sleep in her room, they would open the door and come in to ask her, an outsider, to judge the dispute. Seeing that Lu Mingfei was sleeping soundly, they didn't want to wake her up, so they had to go out and continue the quarrel. Lu Mingfei would listen secretly with her ears perked up.
