Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 48: Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention, and Senior Brother Prevention (I)
Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
Lu Mingfei, an S-level proud student and new student studying abroad, was dragging her large silver-gray titanium suitcase, trying to squeeze out from the bustling crowd at the exit. Her face, which seemed to be getting more and more beautiful recently, was squeezed into a pancake shape.
After finally getting out, she half leaned on the suitcase and looked around. There were many friends, relatives and employees who came to pick her up at the airport, but there was no such funny-looking Asian face.
Logically, she should have reported to Kassel with Zero by now, but unfortunately she set the wrong alarm. When she arrived at the airport, Zero had already taken the previous flight across the Pacific Ocean. She had no choice but to change to the same flight the next day, so she has just arrived at the Chicago airport at this moment.
The good news was that a friend she wasn't very familiar with volunteered to pick her up at the airport, which made Lu Mingfei feel relieved as she didn't get lost in Chicago where she was unfamiliar with the place. She made an appointment with that person and used a rose-red headband and a chic single ponytail as identification.
"Lu Mingfei?" A familiar yet strange voice sounded beside her. Lu Mingfei turned around and saw a muscular Asian man in a white vest holding a white sign with his arms raised high. He looked into her eyes and it said Welcome To Chicago! Ming Fei Lu! He was writing in a very flamboyant style, as if he was afraid that others would not recognize his cursive handwriting.
As soon as he saw Lu Mingfei, Old Tang laughed adorably: "You are much prettier in person than in the camera! You are worthy of being the interstellar princess of our channel!"
"Ah, bah, bah, bah, don't give nicknames to others casually! Also, I told you not to reveal my identity in the channel!" Lu Mingfei quickly jumped up and pushed the embarrassing sign off Lao Tang's hand. This kid couldn't be seen at all through the screen. When she saw him in person, she realized that he was about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body and muscular body. It was obvious that he exercised a lot.
"How can I not obey the princess's order? Don't worry, no one knows that you are a beautiful female college student." Old Tang tucked the sign under his arm and snapped his fingers. "Chicago Train Station, right? Take the Blue Line subway to Clinton, then walk two blocks to get there. But I'm driving here, so I can save two dollars by taking you there directly, and you can drink more Coke. Do you want to have a meal at KFC before you leave? It's my treat!"
At this moment, Lu Mingfei realized how wonderful it was to meet an old friend in a foreign land. It really made her feel at ease to have a companion in this unfamiliar place. What's more, this person came to Chicago for her. Old Tang himself lived in New York. After knowing the news that Lu Mingfei was arriving in Chicago, he slapped his thigh and said, "What a coincidence! He could come to Chicago to be a tour guide and do some things at the same time."
With the mentality of "would rather eat than not" when someone treats her, Lu Mingfei happily followed Lao Tang to the KFC outside the airport. Of course, she didn't act completely naive and trust everyone she met. Lao Tang volunteered to help carry the suitcase and she handed it to him, but the important passport, bank cards, wallet and other things were all in her shoulder bag.
Netizens are netizens after all. Even though they knew each other a long time ago and were very generous and magnanimous when they met, it is always right to be careful in this unfamiliar country. The girl with a big heart and a bold heart would have been abducted away to who knows where!
The dining table soon became a mess. Old Tang seemed to be a big eater. When Lu Mingfei ordered the meal, she saw that it was a set meal for at least four people, but it seemed to be just the usual portion for Old Tang.
"What kind of job are you going to do in Chicago? You're not planning on doing anything and you're just saying that to reassure me, right?" Lu Mingfei drank a Coke and spread out a document on the table. There was a very eye-catching line of words on the cover: "A Fool's Guide to Admission to Kassel College", and below it was specially marked in small print that it was the "Lu Mingfei Edition", written entirely in Chinese.
This is the guide that the college secretary Norma sent to Lu Mingfei. According to the route map above, what Old Tang said just now was indeed correct, and his credibility in Lu Mingfei's heart increased a little.
"I'm a freelancer." Old Tang swallowed the chicken roll in his mouth and smacked his lips. "In short, I don't have any specific job. I'm often employed by others. I do whatever the boss needs me to do. It doesn't matter whether it's fighting sandbags in the harbor or working as a waiter in a restaurant. I go out when I make enough money, and I go to collect relief money when I spend it all and wait for the next opportunity."
"Isn't this just a homeless person?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. "How can you still have a car like this?"
"It's not expensive, just do it and you'll have it." Old Tang waved his hand, "So I did come to Chicago to work, but the boss hasn't given me any specific tasks yet. He just asked me to gather in place first, and someone will take care of my food and lodging."
"It sounds like you must have some amazing skills."
"I guess so! In fact, I'm quite proud of it!" Old Tang laughed.
There was no need to delve into other people's specific jobs. Old Tang didn't plan to go into detail, so Lu Mingfei didn't ask any more questions. When two netizens met, they always had to talk about each other's real situation. Online, they were always separated by a layer of masks, so they didn't know each other well enough. Lu Mingfei thought that maybe she could be the first to make real friends in Chicago.
"Speaking of which, why play StarCraft?" Old Tang has been wanting to ask this question for a long time. Ever since he knew that his old rival was a beautiful girl, he has been very curious. "This game is not very popular with girls, and you like to play Zerg."
"Maybe it's because there's a general hidden in my heart?" Lu Mingfei pointed to her chest. "I really enjoy the feeling of commanding troops and generals. The victory or defeat depends on your thoughts. You hold the highest power on the battlefield, and everyone has to listen to you, regardless of life or death."
"Then you must be a person with a strong personality, more like a boy," said Old Tang.
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei rolled a piece of pizza into her mouth.
"People with weak personalities cannot stand on stage. I am one of them. For example, when I was asked to give a speech at school, my legs would shake like a sieve and I couldn't stand up at all. A general should be able to remain calm even when facing a landslide. Even if the enemy is outside the camp, he should calmly plan a counterattack and retreat strategy. Such people are often very strong-willed." Old Tang said confidently, "If you were a boy, I would definitely be your good brother!"
"Why, being a girl is not okay?" Lu Mingfei glared at him, "You are being sexist."
"If I say I'm going to put my arm around your shoulders and ask you to go to the bar with me, will you go?"
"of course not."
"That's right. No matter how good the relationship between a man and a woman is, there are always some differences. Unless they are more than friends but less than lovers, I don't mind if you have this idea!" Old Tang blinked a few times quickly, as if winking at Lu Mingfei.
"Once you meet someone who is so outstanding, you can never go back to being mediocre." Lu Mingfei held her chin with her hand, and the image of a man named Chu popped up in her mind. "You are not my type, but it's fine to be a good friend who plays games with me!"
"I'm sad! I shouldn't have come to pick you up!" Old Tang covered his chest and acted sad. "I was thinking of taking this opportunity to kidnap a girlfriend!"
"It's okay. If there is a chance, I can introduce my classmates to you if there is anyone who likes you." Lu Mingfei smiled cunningly. To be honest, she only knew a few students from Kassel until now. Nuonuo already had a boyfriend, and Ling was the kind of person who was hard to imagine dating anyone. These words were simply said as a polite remark, and the possibility of realization was basically zero.
"Which university did you go to?" Old Tang continued to find a topic.
"Have you heard of Kassel College? It seems that they cooperate with the University of Chicago every year to hold sailing competitions on the Great Lakes." Lu Mingfei said that she heard this from the college's homepage and Professor Guderian.
"Oh... I haven't heard of it." Old Tang thought for a few seconds, "It's not a fake university, right? Be careful of being cheated. Every year, there are students in China who are deceived into studying abroad. When they get there, they find out that a shabby little building dares to call itself a university."
"It's quite formal, don't worry." Lu Mingfei nodded with a smile, thinking that the place is not only not a fake university, if you knew that they don't teach formal subjects, but make a living by slaying dragons, your jaw would probably drop, right?
But this cannot be said casually. The admission guide says that according to the system of Kassel College, all the contents of the school are confidential. If it is accidentally leaked, there will be psychologists to carry out professional brainwashing, and a certain team responsible for the aftermath, it is said that the members are all members of the Navy SEALs. The so-called aftermath of this team is probably to kill all the people who know about it, right? Lu Mingfei felt so for no reason.
Ding, a text message came in, Lu Mingfei turned on her N96 mobile phone. In addition to Professor Guderian and Chu Zihang who had already been added to the contacts, Nono and Ling were also there.
"Where are you?" This was a text message from Ling. In the previous message, Lu Mingfei tried to explain in tears that there were various reasons for her being late. Ling only replied with an emoticon that looked like a middle finger. Unexpectedly, this Russian girl with a cold face was actually quite playful inside.
"Just got off the plane! Eating!" Lu Mingfei replied quickly.
"Come here early. Tomorrow is a free day. It's better to prepare in advance. Don't you want to fight for the opportunity?"
"Got it. We'll be there soon! At full speed!" When chatting with Ling, Lu Mingfei unconsciously behaved like a servant. It was unknown whether this little loli Ling was born with the temperament of a princess or what. Lu Mingfei always felt that she was no match for Ling and lost in all aspects except height.
"Is there something urgent?" Old Tang saw that Lu Mingfei replied quickly.
"My classmates urged me to report quickly." Lu Mingfei grabbed the last chicken roll and ate it madly. To be honest, she hadn't touched it much, mainly because Old Tang could eat a lot and ate very quickly, so she only ate some egg tarts and chicken nuggets.
"Then I won't waste your time." Old Tang tore off the note and wrote a line of address on it. "This is the hotel I'm staying in Chicago now. If you don't mind, you can come and visit me when you're free. I'll be there anytime!"
"Okay, okay! We are all good brothers in a foreign country!" Lu Mingfei has always been good at adapting to the situation. Since Old Tang is interested in her, she will certainly accept his offer. The only drawback is that Old Tang may not have asked for a package, and she is still greedy for the unfinished chicken legs...
Lu Mingfei was surprised when she arrived at the parking lot, because she saw the car that Lao Tang was walking towards had a TOYOTA logo on it, a pure white car, and "藤原とラふ店" written on the side panel of the door.
"Is this car qualified to pick you up?" Old Tang opened the car door with a boastful look on his face.
"You actually got an AE86!" As a senior anime fan, Lu Mingfei is very familiar with the shape of this thing. Fujiwara Tofu Shop, AE86, that is the logo of Fujiwara Takumi, the male god who has fascinated thousands of girls! How many people fell in love with driving because of an Initial D?
"It's a little old, but I can still do it. It feels good. I often drive it on deserted roads, and occasionally compete with others." Old Tang put the suitcase into the trunk. "There is still a lack of Natsuki Mogi in my dream. It seems that I will have to wait until my lifetime."
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Women will only affect your driving speed. A fast-driving man doesn't need a girlfriend!"
She sat in the passenger seat, watching Old Tang start the antique car in a cool manner. Just like Fujiwara Takumi, there was an indescribable handsomeness and confidence between his brows. The AE86 drove out of the parking station and turned onto the highway.
