Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 41: Girl's Fantasy (Part 4)
The weekend always arrives quietly as promised. In the bathroom of Wanda Cinema, Lu Mingfei looks at herself in the mirror and feels sorry for herself.
I can't say she's pretty. The only one who can catch people's eyes without makeup or dressing up is the fairy in the Pansi Cave. In the real world, a goddess of this level should have been a big star long ago. It doesn't seem to be bad to say that there is nothing uncomfortable to look at. She has natural and beautiful features. Maybe she just lacks some means to improve herself.
She patted her cheeks, thinking that she had done her best. If she didn't have any decent clothes, she would just wear the school uniform of Shilan Middle School, at least it wouldn't lose its class. If anyone asked, she would say that it was the last commemoration of her high school life. Since she was saying goodbye, of course she had to wear the school uniform to show that she was reluctant to leave. She wished that time could go back and she could meet her classmates again for another three hundred years.
When Lu Mingfei left the restroom, she bumped into a figure from behind. Zhao Menghua turned around and saw Lu Mingfei's face full of doubt. She wondered who a man was standing in front of the women's restroom door for no reason. But there was no one else in the restroom.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Menghua handed over a handbag, "There are clothes in it, remember to change into them. Chen Wenwen said that you should be more formal when giving a speech."
Lu Mingfei glanced inside and saw that he was wearing a Korean-style suit, a white shirt, and a black tie.
"I wear this?" Lu Mingfei was confused. "Is this suitable?"
"No other girl is willing to help, but I think you will definitely not refuse." Zhao Menghua's firm tone sounded really unpleasant, as if this was something that Lu Mingfei should do.
But who says it's not true? In the literature club, Lu Mingfei was responsible for running errands and buying things. To put it in a nice way, she was the all-around helper in the literature club. To put it in a bad way, anyone could order her to do things. Now she was about to graduate from high school, but she was still a member of the literature club. Facing the requests of the members, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.
Fate, this is all fate! Lu Mingfei patted her head and carried the bag back to the bathroom to change clothes. She really didn't expect that this outfit was specially prepared by Zhao Menghua. It fit her figure perfectly. If she didn't know that this guy had always been interested in Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei would even think that classmate Zhao might have taken a fancy to her at some point, and he even knew her figure data.
Lu Mingfei walked into the screening room. As expected, everyone came prepared. Dozens of members of the literature club took seats in groups of three or five, drinking Coke and eating popcorn. Most of the girls changed into long skirts, and a few of the particularly fashionable ones even wore high heels, with silver ear clips dangling. Some even wore low-cut suspenders, presumably to treat this party as their final farewell.
As for the boys, there was nothing good to see. In Lu Mingfei's opinion, all boys in the world looked the same when they put on suits. Only a male god like Master Chu who stood out from the crowd could make Lu Mingfei wipe her saliva when he put on a suit.
"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This saying is really true." Su Xiaoqiang patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, as if a leader was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates. "I really didn't see it before."
“What didn’t you see?” Lu Mingfei didn’t understand. It was her first time trying a cross-dressing role and it was quite exciting. She felt that she might lack a pair of sunglasses, so that she would look like a bodyguard standing in the crowd, and it could be regarded as a different and deep impression left on everyone at the farewell party.
"Maybe you are a potential stock." Su Xiaoqiang nodded, very satisfied with his own evaluation.
In the literature club, apart from Chen Wenwen, Su Xiaoqiang is probably the second person who doesn't dislike Lu Mingfei too much. Of course, Lu Mingfei is somewhat closer to her than others, and speaks to her more directly and boldly than usual.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. But I'm just a nobody. I don't have any potential at all." Although she was happy to be praised, Lu Mingfei remained humble.
"Hasn't he already received an offer from Cassel?"
Everyone has experienced that interview. Strangely enough, in the end only Lu Mingfei passed the interview. Of course, the other participants also knew who the only successful person was. Since then, some people have looked at Lu Mingfei strangely, probably because they thought that this ordinary Cinderella had no virtue or ability to stand out from the interview at Kassel College.
"Running dog...it's just luck." The word almost came out of her mouth. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei stopped the loss in time and saved her image.
"Luck is also part of strength." Su Xiaoqiang's voice was very soft, as if he was hinting at something.
It's a classic and chuunibyou line, but this is not like the proud little goddess who is lawless. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look Su Xiaoqiang up and down. It must be said that the beautiful girl with a family with a mine is of course the best in dressing. The burgundy dress is so dazzling that Lu Mingfei dare not even think about it. There is no other girl in the whole literature club who is more eye-catching than Su Xiaoqiang.
She came here dressed up beautifully, probably to fight with her old rival, but she didn't seem very happy. Maybe the sadness of the upcoming separation also made the little goddess a little sad? What kind of love-hate plot is this? How about you and Chen Wenwen take this opportunity to put aside your differences and shake hands, and have a little affection?
The fattest twin brothers in the literature club, Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao, also appeared in the crowd in black suits. The two brothers were equally chubby and stood there like two basketballs side by side.
Lu Mingfei was delighted all of a sudden. When a red flower is set off by green leaves, even an ordinary one can immediately become dazzling. Although she, Lu Mingfei, is not a top red flower, the two fat guys in suits are totally not on the same level as her, a woman dressed as a man and playing a handsome guy!
"You two are going to give speeches as well?" Lu Mingfei rarely felt that she was superior to others. She seemed to be able to exude arrogance through her nose when she asked the question.
"No need to make a speech, we are just here to serve as a foil." Xu Yanyan said, "As extras, it would be a waste if we don't work if we get paid."
Lu Mingfei immediately turned around and glanced at Zhao Menghua. Zhao Menghua was the second Chu Zihang of Shilan Middle School. He was absolutely generous when it came to money.
"...You're indispensable." Zhao Menghua pointed to a piece of copy paper in front of the screen and said, "You will stand in that position to give your speech in a moment. Don't block the screen. The picture of the literature club will be displayed on the big screen. "
The lights dimmed, leaving only the white copy paper on the stage that was exceptionally clear. Lu Mingfei felt as if she was blessed by God. It was a perfect position. Standing at the front of the crowd when giving a speech, wouldn't everyone remember her? Many years later, when the members of the literature club recalled this past, Lu Mingfei's face, which was reflected by a faint fluorescent light, must have been an unforgettable goddess in everyone's heart!
She strode onto the stage, stood on the copy paper in front of the screen, took a deep breath with passion, and thought for a while about what kind of impassioned speech she should make to impress everyone.
At this moment, a strong light suddenly dazzled her eyes. The projector turned on. Lu Mingfei raised her arms to cover her face and saw Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao standing on her left side like two bowling pins.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't give a speech?" Lu Mingfei lowered her voice and shouted to Xu Yanyan.
"Just an extra." Xu Yanyan shrugged helplessly.
Lu Mingfei turned around and found a huge English letter L on her left hand side. The projector projected some characters on the screen. She couldn't help but run forward a few steps and look back. It was a line of words, "Chen Wenwen, Lve, Yu!"
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have made a mistake. She was so self-indulgent. When did she have the illusion that she could be the protagonist? The literature club has always been Chen Wenwen's territory, right? Everyone joined here just for her. Who really loves to read those damn obscure masterpieces?
Weird vanity was at work. It shouldn't be like this. Cinderella named Lu Mingfei was never so greedy. She never thought of using other people's time to exchange for her own glory. It was just a favor. Wouldn't it be better to just tell yourself what you were going to do? Should the servants of the literature club always be servants? You refused to tell your secrets until the very end?
"Stand back! Stand back quickly!" Xu Yanyan whispered to her, "If you are missing one letter, the sentence won't be complete!"
Zhao Menghua, holding a bunch of crimson roses, jumped onto the stage surrounded by several good friends. Even a fool could see what he was going to do. Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao are two letters o, and she, Lu Mingfei, is the lowercase i. Together, it is perfect, "Chen Wenwen, i Love You."
This was a carefully planned confession drama, no wonder Zhao Menghua said no girl was willing to help, yes, which girl would be willing to be the foil for someone else's confession? Lu Mingfei was short and would agree to anything, so she was naturally regarded as the replacement, but no one ever asked her if she was willing, even though this was also a help to Chen Wenwen who was very good to her, because this was her home court for love.
Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen, and Chen Wenwen looked at Zhao Menghua, her eyes seemed to be as gentle as the dew in the late summer. She couldn't see Lu Mingfei, let alone Lu Mingfei's face that was about to cry. The heroine was immersed in a happy love, with roses surrounding her face that was blooming like spring. Who would pay attention to a lowercase i at this time? She treats you well because you are her member, and you have never been an important person to her. Don't be so self-indulgent. Isn't it natural for a princess in a white dress to ride a white horse to follow the prince's footsteps?
"Go back! Go back! The sentence won't work without you!" someone in the audience shouted at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei walked back to the screen silently, stood on the copy paper, lowered her head and didn't look at anyone. The lowercase i was different from the other spiritual letters and was particularly wilted.
"Today was supposed to be a gathering of our literature club, but I just want to take this opportunity." Zhao Menghua said loudly, "We are about to separate, and I don't want to regret it. I want to tell Chen Wenwen that we have to take a gamble. Otherwise, if we separate in the future, we won't be able to see each other because we are far apart. I have liked someone for three years but no one knows about it. Wouldn't that be terrible?"
"Good! Good job, boss!" Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao clapped their hands, and Zhao Menghua's good brothers also clapped their hands.
"Heroine! Come on stage! Heroine! Come on stage!" Zhao Menghua was obviously fully prepared, and the people cheering in the audience were already in place.
A beam of white light from a spotlight shone on Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen, whose clothes were so white that they seemed transparent, stood up. She walked slowly onto the stage, her face so red that tomato sauce could be squeezed out of it. Zhao Menghua's good brothers surrounded her and cheered her on with the tone of supporting actors in a proposal scene.
"Do you agree or not?! Do you agree or not? If you agree, just do it now! Zhao Menghua is very good!"
Lu Mingfei watched Chen Wenwen's lips tremble with joy and then slowly open. As if she didn't need to think at all, Chen Wenwen whispered softly, looking into Zhao Menghua's eyes and said, "I like you too... yours."
The crowd erupted in laughter and congratulations, but there was only one person who left silently, covering his face, leaving behind crystal drops at his footsteps. That person was Su Xiaoqiang.
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized why Su Xiaoqiang said those words to her. In fact, Su Xiaoqiang already knew how this confession drama would go on. She came in a grand red dress, hoping to do something before the end, but she already knew that everything was doomed to fail. Standing here to see the end, she was just a clown who was ignored like Lu Mingfei. Yes, luck is also a part of strength. You, Su Xiaoqiang, are just one step behind Chen Wenwen, so you are destined to inferior to her in every way.
Lu Mingfei wanted to chase after Su Xiaoqiang and pat his shoulder to comfort him, but she was the letter i that could not move.
It's ridiculous. Why should we continue to help these people at this time? She stood in front of the screen and looked at the noisy crowd with cold eyes. She began to hate everyone. Zhao Menghua was hateful, and Chen Wenwen was also hateful. This was their stage, so they never needed to consider the feelings of others. Whether it was Lu Mingfei or Su Xiaoqiang, a performance that moved people's hearts certainly needed a few puppets holding strings, and they could be discarded before they were used up. Puppets, after all, had no heart, so they could be hurt in any way they wanted.
"Are you surprised, sister-in-law?" Zhao Menghua's brothers have begun to change their words to add to the fun.
"I'm not surprised. I guessed that you were doing this. I just didn't tell you. You are all shameless." Chen Wenwen shook Zhao Menghua's hand, feeling happy and shy.
Really everyone knew it, including Chen Wenwen herself, except for lowercase i who didn't understand the ending until the very end.
Lu Mingfei lowered his head silently and walked towards the door of the screening room. On the screen behind him, Wall-E was close to Eva's face, and the music was warm and sweet. Chen Wenwen was Eva, Zhao Menghua was Wall-E, and she, Lu Mingfei, was the garbage dump under their feet.
"Don't run, don't run. The group leaders and actors will all get big red envelopes!" It was rare that someone noticed Lu Mingfei, and Zhao Menghua's brother called her from behind.
Red envelope? Keep it for your own grave. No girl would be so thick-skinned. Even though Lu Mingfei has always been shameless, it doesn't mean that her heart is indestructible. She has been a servant in the literature club long enough. The hero and heroine are together. What's the point of having an errand boy now?
But she still turned her steps disobediently. Cinderella will always be Cinderella. What else can she do now? She still has to go to Kassel and go to college. Zhao Menghua's red envelope must be very big. She really needs money.
At this moment, light shone from behind her, as if lightning pierced through dark clouds, and someone pushed open the door of the screening room.
It was the visit of two angels, like a glorious oracle sent down from heaven, their eyes were as sharp as torches and their light was dazzling.
