Chapter 446 Harbor (1)
Waiting is a boring yet expectant process.
Lu Mingfei's way of fighting boredom was to tell Ling about past events, about Chu Zihang, for more than two hours.
For example, how grand and classy the community of my senior brother is, how dazzling he was when he was in Shilan Middle School, and how popular he was with the female classmates.
Lu Mingfei still remembers that during the military training in high school, he overheard the girls talking about Chu Zihang. The central topic was "What to do if you have Chu Zihang as your boyfriend?"
At an age when lust and freshness are mixed, meat eaters and vegetarians had a heated discussion about Chu Zihang's user manual.
Ling asked Lu Mingfei with a little curiosity: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and said, "Later, everyone graduated and went to different places, each pursuing their own future. Later, the girls may slowly become women and get married. Some people will remember at some point that there was a figure in middle school who amazed their entire youth, while others will never forget Chu Zihang."
“After all, a person can meet too many people in his lifetime. Senior brother may not be the most memorable one in the eyes of some girls.” Lu Mingfei said.
Zero seemed to understand but not quite.
After Lu Mingfei finished talking about girls, he started talking about boys.
When I was in high school, Chu Zihang was the idol of many boys, a living idol who would pass by the teaching building every day.
For example, his cousin Lu Mingze admires Chu Zihang very much for his style, dressing style and personality.
When most of his classmates were still pursuing brands like Nike and Adidas, Chu Zihang had already started to follow the British style and use brands like "Burberry".
In that era when information was not very developed, Chu Zihang was the embodiment of fashion on campus.
Even the self-important Zhao Menghua didn't dare to say that he could compare with Chu Zihang.
“If Brother had not experienced what happened to Odin, he would have been very happy in his life, right?” Lu Mingfei suddenly said.
Ling shook his head. "The Sorrow of Blood will not be alleviated regardless of whether or not one's bloodline is awakened. What you described to me is Chu Zihang in the eyes of his classmates, not the real Chu Zihang."
"What do you think a real senior brother is like?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Loneliness. What Jörmungandr saw was Chu Zihang's true self. He lived alone in school. Take away his wealth and handsome appearance, and all that's left is a lonely boy."
Lu Mingfei certainly understood this, so he sighed: "That's why I said that Senior Brother and Xiao Long Nu are a good match, right?"
"Love between humans and dragons will always be considered forbidden no matter what era it is." Zero said expressionlessly.
“Maybe there was such a time?” Lu Mingfei recalled the knowledge in the history books of the academy. “Didn’t they say that the origin of the hybrid power is dragons? Dragons and humans can be interbred for power, but not for love? How can it be so strange?”
Ling didn't know how to answer, so he just kept silent.
"I don't know what you think, Senior Brother. Ling, do you think there is a way to transform dragons into humans?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Zero said calmly: "There is no corresponding record of dragons turning into humans, but Herzog is the best example of a hybrid evolving into a dragon, but he failed."
“Let senior brother turn into a dragon? It doesn’t seem feasible.” Lu Mingfei said.
The two chatted intermittently until Chu Zihang walked out of the main gate of the community, and the topic ended.
Lu Mingfei stood up and saw Chu Zihang across the street, raising his hand to signal him not to come over.
He had no choice but to sit down again and wait for his senior brother to come over.
"Done, brother?" Lu Mingfei asked nonsense.
"Yes." Chu Zihang looked into the distance, "Let's go to your house now."
Today's itinerary has been discussed, and we will go to Uncle Lu Mingfei's house for dinner in the evening.
“No, no, no, Brother, we need to prepare some things.” Lu Mingfei said, “I have to go buy some gifts.”
Chu Zihang nodded, "Okay, you can arrange it."
Do you want to prepare gifts for going home?
Lu Mingfei had thought about this question a long time ago, and the answer he came to was no.
Then why should I prepare gifts?
Because that is my uncle and aunt's home, and my cousin Lu Mingze's home, not my own.
Although he still had the key to his uncle's house, and although there was a room reserved for Lu Mingfei.
But it still can't be changed, that place is not home at all.
There will be a harbor there. Home is definitely a harbor, but a harbor is not necessarily a home.
This question was very complicated. Lu Mingfei couldn’t explain it clearly, and he himself didn’t understand it, but subconsciously he felt that he had to bring a gift.
If he didn't bring a gift, it would be very rude and his aunt would probably be unhappy, saying that Lu Mingfei was such an ungrateful person who didn't care about his family after going to study in the United States.
Lu Mingfei could only pretend to care and buy something decent, preferably expensive, and in large quantities, since Senior Brother and Ling were the guests.
Growing up is so annoying, there are so many things to consider.
But Lu Mingfei was still willing to go back. The so-called harbor means that no matter how strong the wind and waves you experience at sea, when you return here you are just a small boat.
Uncle and aunt would not care how much trouble Lu Mingfei had gone through. Even if Lu Mingfei told them, they would just think that Lu Mingfei was bragging, and aunt might even give him a lecture.
My uncle would then say earnestly: Mingfei, it is normal for a man to want to save face, but don’t brag too much.
Yes, Lu Mingfei is a monster who can kill the Dragon King. He is wanted by the academy and now possesses some abilities that ordinary people cannot understand.
While others experienced the wind and waves, Lu Mingfei's small boat went straight to the bottom of the sea and made a circle.
But none of this matters. In the eyes of his uncle and aunt, Lu Mingfei is still the same Lu Mingfei, and they will selectively believe him.
If Lu Mingfei says that he has killed dragons and it is so glorious, his uncle and aunt will think he is a psychopath.
If Lu Mingfei said that he pursued a girl at school but failed and was humiliated by others, his uncle and aunt would definitely believe it. His aunt would probably laugh out loud and talk about how Lu Mingze was popular with girls at school.
The first part is definitely true, so true that it seems false.
The latter cannot be false, even if it is false it is true.
In Lu Mingfei's own words: Although I am not very famous in school, I am the president of a club and have a secretary. Being hunted by the academy is indeed very embarrassing, but I am more or less free, and I have my senior and Ling to accompany me. As for going back to my uncle's house... all these are gone, it's like being stripped naked and running around the house.
"But I don't know why, I really want to go back and run naked." Lu Mingfei said to Chu Zihang and Ling.
The words were so crude that they sounded like a hooligan, but the meaning was accurate.
Money can't buy the master's happiness. Lu Mingfei is willing to go back and endure the ridicule from his aunt and listen to his uncle bragging.
It would be best if his cousin Lu Mingze was also there, and he was doing very well in school. In this way, Lu Mingfei could enjoy a complete harbor without any missing links.
