Chapter 275 It was just normal at that time
Nine times out of ten, I wanted to say something but held back, and I was always very glad when I looked back on it later.
Yet people often say that if you have something to say, you should say it directly, and that you should be more carefree, as decisive as hearing the sunlight falling on the earth.
We know all too well that doing things directly is the simplest and correct approach, but back then... back then we just thought it was ordinary.
—To the unlucky kids, I hope you can be happy.
The air was filled with the scent of a quiet, virginal young girl. Her long golden hair brushed against her shoulders. Without turning around to look at Lu Mingfei's expression, Renata simply put her phone back in her pocket.
His nonchalance caused Lu Mingfei to break down a little.
"Why? Even just a slight glance at me would be nice!" Lu Mingfei clenched his fists unconsciously. Renata's indifference instantly reminded him of the time he spent arguing with his aunt and Lu Mingze at his uncle's house, the cramped space, the suffocating atmosphere, the lack of respect, and the feeling of not being treated as a human being.
His clenched fist couldn't even last five seconds before it loosened. His already not-so-straight spine bent like an old dog as he deflated. He muttered to himself, lacking confidence, "That's right, why should I expect anyone to care about me? I'm just a loser, a burden..."
Looking back on his homeland under the bright moonlight, he began to miss Chen Wenwen, who was far away in his home country. That artistic girl was always getting close and distant from Lu Mingfei, making him restless all day long.
In this life, Lu Mingfei has not yet suffered the betrayal of confessing his love in front of everyone, and he does not have such a strong opinion against Chen Wenwen.
Of course, even though he had been betrayed, he didn't have much of a problem with Chen Wenwen. What could a dog with its spine removed have to complain about? Being able to curl up next to the green trash can and dig out some leftovers was already a great happiness for it.
What kind of scene was that?
Chen Wenwen knew that Lu Mingfei liked her.
Zhao Menghua knew that Lu Mingfei liked Chen Wenwen.
The young goddess Su Xiaoqiang likes Zhao Menghua, and also knows that Lu Mingfei likes Chen Wenwen.
Everyone around him knows that Lu Mingfei likes Chen Wenwen; everyone is lying to him, everyone.
Zhao Menghua enjoyed the thrill of stealing someone else's love. He could easily snatch away the artistic girl that Lu Mingfei had been longing for. Although he didn't cherish this artistic girl, Chen Wenwen, in the years that followed, it was normal. Rich kids are not suited to be devoted to one person, let alone a high-quality rich kid like him.
However, when it comes to the term "second-generation rich," there's more to say. If the child support payments from Lu Mingfei's parents hadn't been drained by his uncle's family of three, Lu Mingfei would have had a 200% chance of becoming the most arrogant "Young Master Lu" at Shilan Middle School, several levels above Chu Zihang.
Many people dislike Chen Wenwen, feeling that if she doesn't like Lu Mingfei, she shouldn't waste his time and keep him hanging on, selfishly looking for someone better while still in a relationship.
Actually, you can't look at it that way. People are selfish. From a certain perspective, Chen Wenwen could even be said to have generously given Lu Mingfei an opportunity to stay by her side.
The story begins with her inviting Lu Mingfei to join the literary society. Standing in a corner of the podium, she wrote delicate characters on the blackboard with chalk, glanced back at Lu Mingfei, and said with a bright smile, "Come join the literary society!"
Lu Mingfei is a loser; how could he withstand such a test?
Moreover, Lu Mingfei thoroughly enjoyed being around Chen Wenwen. If it weren't for Chen Wenwen recruiting him into the literary society, he wouldn't even have had the chance to talk to an artistic girl like Chen Wenwen just because they were classmates.
It's a classic case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit. Both sides are enjoying themselves, but whoever gives more suffers. In any case, Chen Wenwen is unlikely to give too much. Giving Lu Mingfei a chance to talk to her is already a great favor.
Noticing that Lu Mingfei's footsteps had stopped behind her, Renata looked back curiously. Her azure eyes, pierced by the Siberian wind, seemed to see right through people's thoughts. "Hey, Lu Mingfei, why did you stop?"
He opened his mouth, but the word "I" didn't even come out of his throat before he quickly closed his lips again.
What he wanted to say was: "I want to know, is it Ye Jingchen who is sending you this message?"
However, Lu Mingfei swallowed his words back. He didn't have the courage to say them. He was never one to talk trash to a girl as reserved as Renata.
But aside from trash talk, he really didn't have much else to say.
Moreover, since he was now involved with Ye Jingchen, Lu Mingfei was even less certain that Renata would remain neutral towards him after saying those words.
The little devil once told Lu Mingfei, "Don't be afraid. Imagine that there are thousands of troops behind you at any time!"
Lu Mingfei couldn't sense the vast army at the moment, but he could sense that the day when the healer team around him would collectively betray him was not far off.
The little devil Lu Mingze is always out fooling around, but ironically, it is this seemingly unreliable little devil who is most likely to covet Lu Mingfei's sense of security.
Subconsciously tugged at his sleeve again, Lu Mingfei lowered his head, "It's nothing, I just remembered that when I was in China, I would always stand in front of the internet cafe on my way home from school, and I would stare blankly and hesitate, thinking about whether I should go in or not."
After saying this seemingly profound but actually obscure statement, Lu Mingfei forced a smile and raised his right hand to scratch the back of his head.
"If there's nothing else, let's keep going. The driver outside has been waiting for a while."
As Renata spoke, she led Lu Mingfei to a light green SUV with large tires.
Upon seeing the massive vehicle in front of him, Lu Mingfei's eyes widened instantly. "Renata, is this some kind of military off-road vehicle?"
“Oh, I see. But it’s been converted into a civilian vehicle.” Renata said, reaching out and knocking on the driver’s side window, making a knocking sound.
The black car window rolled down a crack, and the driver squinted, revealing a pair of sharp brown eyes. "Why did it take you so long to get here?"
“He’s injured, so his movements are a bit slow. I hope you understand,” Renata explained calmly.
"Get in!" The words were blurted out, and the car window was quickly closed again, almost preventing the words from escaping from the car. It was as if if the gap had been open for even a second longer, he would have been frozen in the snow.
Renata stretched out her small, fair hand, grasped the SUV's large door handle, pushed off the ground with both feet, pulled the door open, and glanced at Lu Mingfei. "Get in!"
"Thank you!" Lu Mingfei quickly got into the car, sat on the side, leaving enough space for Renata, and looked back expectantly for Renata to get in.
But then they noticed that Renata was about to close the car door!
His heart was pounding faster than usual, and Lu Mingfei asked tremblingly, "Renata, aren't you coming with me?"
