Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 283: Blooming Cherry Blossoms at the Foot of Mount Fuji (Part 3)
When Lu Mingfei returned to the hotel, Eri was kneeling in front of the mirror combing her hair. Although Lu Mingfei had done some hairstyles for her before, Eri didn't know how to maintain it herself. After taking a shower, she would blow dry her hair and slowly comb it back to its original shape, straight and long, falling down like a waterfall.
Some people say that a man is most handsome when he devotes himself to doing something, and a woman is most beautiful when she sits in front of the dressing table and combs her long hair strand by strand. Lu Mingfei agrees with this. She doesn't feel it when she does it, but as a bystander, she feels that this scene makes people feel inexplicably comfortable and peaceful. She put the bag on the ground and sat behind Eri to watch her comb her hair. The mirror reflected the figures of the two people, one in front and one behind. Lu Mingfei would naturally hold up a bunch of hair and let Eri comb her hair.
People often say that appearance is not important, and inner beauty is the most important. Lu Mingfei always smiles mockingly when hearing this. Most people who say this have no actual experience. She was once the most inconspicuous flower in the crowd. She knows very well that even if you have an interesting soul, others don’t even want to look at you more than once. How can you let others know how interesting you are?
There is no place for an ugly girl to stand. This is how the world is. Everyone cares about appearance and will always like good-looking things. What is left on the apple shelf are often only those shriveled ones with scars on the surface. The plump, round, big red ones have been taken away first.
Eri is like the most beautiful apples, with skin that has not seen the sun for years and an unhealthy white color, but a ruddy complexion that makes her look pitiful. This often reminds Lu Mingfei of the greenhouse fruits in Japan. The high prices of Japanese fruits are world-famous. The fruits displayed in famous stores are often so beautiful that they look like paintings. However, those fruits have been grown in greenhouses under the careful care of fruit farmers all their lives. They have light and water, so they are naturally not crooked or cracked.
Fruits can be like that, but what about humans? As the most complex creature in the world, humans need too many things. Food, clothing and shelter are just the lowest level, followed by thoughts, knowledge and physiological needs, and then money, reputation and even the pursuit of fame after death.
But Eri has nothing. She just wants someone to accompany her, and it would be best if she could see the outside world. Those skyscrapers, rivers, lakes and seas that ordinary people take for granted are all luxuries to her.
Lu Mingfei had been trying her best to control herself from thinking in that direction, but the longer she stayed with Eiry, the more she would inadvertently think about whether she looked at Eiry with pity for her situation, thinking that she should save this girl who was born out of touch with the world if she had the power, or whether she really regarded her as a friend and thought that getting to know her was something she would agree with when she thought back on it later.
Lu Mingfei was lost in thought, unaware that Eri had already combed her hair and was looking at herself in the mirror carefully. She had been particularly fond of looking in the mirror recently. It was said that when people look in the mirror, their brains would automatically fill in the blanks and details, beautifying themselves to the point of leaving only beauty. Everyone saw themselves as handsome men or beautiful women in the mirror, even the little monsters were no exception.
Eiry turned around and pulled Lu Mingfei's sleeve. Lu Mingfei came back to her senses and smiled and said she was pretty. She had been like this since she met Eiry. Her unadorned long hair made her look like an ancient shrine maiden, dignified and clear, which made people subconsciously want to keep a distance, but they couldn't help but want to get closer to see more clearly.
Lu Mingfei could make Eri happy just by nodding and praising. She tilted her head, and Eri also tilted her head, with a wisp of crimson hair falling from her ear. Lu Mingfei suddenly understood that there were too many unlucky and unfortunate people in the world, and no one could save everything. The so-called boundless love of saints was not suitable for ordinary people, no matter if they were pitiful or caring. Now Eri was in front of her, and perhaps the only thing she could give her was to open the door called the world that had been closed to her for many years.
"Eri, do you know what Japan is most famous for?" Lu Mingfei said.
"Cherry blossoms?"
"No, although cherry blossoms are beautiful, they only bloom for a short time each year, half a month at most. Many people think that this short bloom is sad. The correct answer should be Mount Fuji. It has been there since the concept of Japan was established. Mount Fuji is the highest place in Japan and has witnessed everything in this civilization from ancient times to the present. Many people sing praises for it and worship it as a sacred place. Some people even say that every Japanese must go to Mount Fuji at least once in their lifetime. It is the symbol of Japan."
"Where is it then?"
"It's only 100 kilometers to Tokyo. If we drive fast in the southwest direction, it may take less than 2 hours." Lu Mingfei put her hands on Eri's shoulders and pushed her to the closet. "Put on your favorite clothes. We are going to Mount Fuji today."
Eri's eyes lit up.
The black convertible Porsche ran through the red light like a phantom, and the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was like an arrogant thunder. The police officers on duty who were eating on the roadside were stunned. They didn't expect someone to dare to speed in downtown Tokyo. According to the data from the illegal monitoring recorder, the speed of the Porsche reached 180 kilometers per hour. The owner was probably highly suspected of drunk driving. The police officers immediately took out their walkie-talkies to communicate, and other police cars on duty nearby took detours and prepared to join the team to round up the speeding vehicle.
Lu Mingfei was sitting in the driver's seat wearing large windproof sunglasses, the silver pendants on her ears swaying at high speed. The most valuable clothes she had now were the punk-style ones she wore when she first showed off in Takama-ga-hara, so she simply changed into this outfit when she went out today. The sequined rivets all over her body shone like silver in the sun. With the roar of the Porsche with the accelerator pressed to the bottom, she felt like a gangster boss, and sitting in the passenger seat was the beautiful girl who was going to get married with her.
Eri held a huge bear in front of her. The bear's head was pressed against her face because of the strong wind. It was hard to tell whether the bear was protecting her or she was protecting the bear. She was wearing a backless taffeta dress and three-inch high Roman sandals. She had a red heart balloon tied to her wrist. The long ribbon was carried by the Porsche as if it was going to rise to the sky. Her dark red hair, which she had carefully taken care of before going out, was tangled in the wind like a group of demons dancing wildly, but Eri didn't care at all. She held the bear and laughed loudly, enjoying the thrill of racing. The people of the Snake Eight Clan always drove steadily and slowly, so Eri never knew that cars were completely different when they were driven fast.
Police cars approached from all the main roads and slowly caught up with them. The windows rolled down, and the sheriff's head popped out from inside with a loud speaker, warning them in Japanese, saying that if they continued to threaten road safety, they might shoot them. Lu Mingfei glanced in the rearview mirror, smiled, and raised her left hand to the police with a middle finger.
Of course she dared to challenge these Japanese policemen. Today was the day she was going to take Eri to Mount Fuji. Now she was in a hurry and had no time to wait for the red light slowly with those office workers on the crowded streets of Tokyo. Every second was precious. Nuonuo once told Lu Mingfei that once you go to Kassel College, you can never turn back. Lu Mingfei used to be a law-abiding girl, but now she dared to break the law in a foreign country for herself and Eri, using her superb driving skills and a sports car, and she didn't think it was a big deal.
Martin Boots stepped on the accelerator hard and the Porsche was accelerated to the limit. The needle had reached 250 kilometers per hour. The rented cars all had satellite positioning systems, but Lu Mingfei had informed the rental store in advance that her destination was Mount Fuji.
The chasing police officers were powerless. They could only watch the distance between the Porsche and them widen even though they stepped on the accelerator. The standard car model equipped by the Japanese police station is still the Honda from the 2001 era, which is quite different from the latest Porsche. Moreover, they think they don’t have the skills as arrogant as the drag racers. It is hard to imagine that the guy in front was driving at such a high speed and yet he was able to overtake and avoid the car the whole time without any problems.
"Baga!" Lu Mingfei laughed arrogantly at the rearview mirror. She was the wild rose from Kassel College. Although she had a pure face, she had the blood of a gangster when she was bold!
The long-lost sunshine arrived quietly today, as if it came through the clouds specially for the good mood. The water on the streets was quickly cleared with the support of the Iron Dome. Tokyo turned back into the neat and orderly tourist city. Except for a pair of dogs and girls who were having fun, everything seemed fine.
On this sunny day, Mai Jiude rode a fiery red motorcycle, following the Porsche from a distance. Her boss gave her the task of keeping an eye on Eri, who was now kidnapped by Lu Mingfei. It looked like a bandit leader was forcing his bride to marry. Mai Jiude had to find a way to catch up. In a hurry, she had no car to use, so she could only catch up on an off-road motorcycle. Fortunately, she brought the locator from the rental car shop, and the GPS clearly showed the location of the Porsche.
She didn't have time to eat breakfast. When she took the first bite of the sandwich, she saw Lu Mingfei dragging Eri downstairs. The non-stop journey made her stomach growl. She could only stop the car halfway and buy a glass of freshly squeezed juice and a heated bread to make do with, leaning on the motorcycle to eat a simple meal. She was wearing a riding suit that exposed her figure. She looked like a professional racing driver. The men coming and going subconsciously looked at her a few more times. The yellow-haired boy was arrogant and excited about her, but Jiude Mai raised her eyes and gave her a middle finger to drive him away.
The cherry blossoms on the roadside were falling in the wind, and the gloomy mood that Ninja had been feeling as a housewife for the past few days seemed to have dissipated unknowingly. Jude Mai's condition had recovered a lot. In this kind of weather, she should ride a motorcycle around and take a good look at this beautiful city.
She is Japanese, but she has rarely been to Tokyo. When she was a ninja, she was in the mountains of Izu. Later, when she went to Tokyo University of Music, she was busy with her studies and did not leave the academy more than five blocks away until graduation. In this respect, she is actually more of a homebody than Su Enxi. Su Enxi just doesn't like to go out, but she flies all over the world all day long, gets off the plane and goes directly to the most luxurious scenic hotels, and has been close to famous places.
At this time, there was another team chasing Lu Mingfei, but unfortunately it broke down.
This old Toyota family car was parked on the highway leaving Tokyo. Caesar opened the hood and thick white smoke drifted in all directions, along with a foul smell of burnt rubber.
"You should rent a better car." Chu Zihang frowned and watched Caesar rummaging through the driving manual in the box in the car.
"Do you think I don't want to? All the money we earned from selling our souls was given to Lu Mingfei for her to squander with the underworld princess. For this, I even quit smoking cigars. Do you think someone who can't afford cigars would have the money to rent a Ferrari?"
According to the original plan, they should be on their way back to Takamagahara now, planning to go back and sit down with Minamoto Chisei to have a good talk. Caesar will use his student council president's broad-minded style of speaking to get Minamoto Chisei to do it. If he can't do it, he will hang him up and tie him up in a tortoise shell tie, and then let the female guests of Takamagahara in to torture him. Presumably, with the handsome face of the young master of the Snake Eight Family, he should be very popular with those women.
But when he saw Lu Mingfei entering the car rental shop, Caesar suddenly changed his mind. He said to Chu Zihang, "It's a rare sunny day today. Why should we go back to Takamagahara to see the tortoise's face that looks like someone owes him millions? Cherry blossoms, hot springs, and beautiful girls, these are what Tokyo should have. I think we should also go and enjoy the rare tranquility!"
Chu Zihang said we didn't have time. Lu Mingfei accompanied Eri to play in order to cultivate their relationship so that Eri would go to the academy with her. If we went somewhere else, we would only waste the limited money and the opportunity to search for the king general.
Caesar said that you are wrong. Lu Mingfei is not interested in Eri, but I think the mafia princess is very interested in Lu Mingfei. At worst, we can just not go anywhere else and go with them to avoid any bad things happening at night. After all, men should always keep an eye on their girlfriends, right?
Caesar was always good at persuading others. Chu Zihang thought about it and decided that it was not a good idea to let the two girls drive to a place where they were not familiar with. Although if there were any bad guys, Lu Mingfei could probably kick them against the wall with her leg strength, but the mood of the trip would be completely ruined. He hoped that Eri would have the best possible journey, only in this way could she willingly board the pirate ship to join Kassel Academy.
