Chapter 180: Becoming an Idol from Today (4k)
Lu Mingfei logged into his account named "General Passerby S-level", set the invisible mode, and started to peek at the screen.
Chu Yuwei once told Lu Mingfei that Kassel College adopted Chinese as the education medium, and all its subordinate institutions, whether research institutes or archaeological teams, communicated in Chinese. Preparatory classes around the world even set Chinese as one of the main subjects.
When Lu Mingfei was in the Chinese branch, he could often hear a bunch of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners speaking fluent Chinese, especially those with local accents like Lucrecia.
So, when Lu Mingfei saw the posts like “It’s me, Shushu, I’m downstairs chatting, come to see me and relieve my sorrow…”, he felt indescribably familiar, as if he had entered a well-known Chinese Internet forum.
As for the content of these posts, Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment. Apart from the meaningless posts and the posts accusing the Equipment Department of experimenting with weapons late at night and making people unable to sleep, the titles were a bit explosive.
For example, "After three years of lurking in the school, I dug out the first love of the dean who was away from school all year round", or "Registration for stealing mechas at Gattuso's house, time is running out, only in Europe, start when the quota is full", "S-class appears? Is S still useful now..."
Lu Mingfei curiously clicked on the first post and took a look at the photo of a woman who looked a bit old and was said to be the first love girlfriend of a certain dean. Then the more he looked at it, the more familiar she looked. He slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't this his mother?"
Lu Lincheng, you are at least a senior member of the academy. Aren’t you ashamed of having those little things from your past dug up?
To sum up, these posts just highlight an abnormal human communication center. Lu Mingfei even saw a post related to him, the one about S-level.
Sister Chu told him the meaning of S-level, which was similar to what he guessed. The special treatment he received in the preparatory class was also related to this. However, unlike the hidden bloodlines that others could not awaken, his S-level and Sister Chu's A-level were genuine.
Under this post, there were people who just watched the show and people who replied seriously, but for some reason they started arguing with each other. All kinds of beautiful Chinese words were flying around, which really captured the essence of the Chinese Internet.
Finally, the forum administrator personally stepped in and banned all of them. Then Lu Mingfei found that the administrator himself had posted a message, which roughly said that due to work needs, he would be transferred to Asia, and the maintenance of the forum would be based on the time of the new work place.
This post was pinned to the top of the page, and soon people started leaving comments. After all, it was still night there, a good time to surf the Internet.
Someone replied to the administrator's post, saying that you have finally gotten through these seven years, and they can finally rest in peace. Someone else said, "Rest in peace, but pay back the money before you leave, and never come back." Someone else said, "Please prepare to open champagne on the day he leaves, and let him guess who was not invited..."
Lu Mingfei saw a very unique reply among a bunch of sarcastic replies. The reason why it was unique was that it was a direct insult.
The name of this ID looked a bit ungentlemanly, "Protect the best brother Z in the world", and she looked like a fan girl. She was not afraid of the administrator who had the authority to ban the account, and loudly questioned what the previous post meant by saying that Zero was a dangerous and violent awakened hybrid?
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and looked at the girl's ID again. "Protect the best brother Z in the world", it felt a bit strange. He clicked on the girl's homepage, and there was a link pinned on the top, saying it was the entrance to some support website.
Holding back the weirdness in his heart, Lu Mingfei clicked on it and took a look. As expected, his gorgeous and somewhat coquettish mask was printed on the background of the webpage. There were also some photos on it, which looked like they were taken when Sister Chu and the others bumped into him.
Lu Mingfei was completely stunned. What was this? His fan group?
Before the popularity of Shilan Tango guy had passed, he seemed to have a fan club, but his account on the short video platform was not active at all, and those people didn’t even know who he was.
As for the so-called cheering group, some are young girls who are attracted by the way he looks like a different person after he has dressed them up, some are netizens who are just watching the fun, and some are just people who are there to watch the fun, to see when he will make a lot of money and collapse.
Lu Mingfei, who sneaked in as a passerby to peek at the screen, almost laughed out loud. What house collapse? It made him feel like he had experienced it before.
There were some IDs scrolling in the corner of the support page. Lu Mingfei took a look and saw that they looked like members of his fan club. The leader of the club, who was also the creator of the page, was called "NuoNuo" and his avatar was a silver four-leaf clover pendant.
The more Lu Mingfei looked at the pendant, the more familiar it looked. He slapped his thigh again. Chen Motong! It must be you who did it this time!
He suddenly remembered that when he first appeared in front of Chu Yuzhen with the vest of zero, Chen Motong was also there. But he thought again, Chen Motong looked indifferent and usually looked listless, not like someone who would chase stars.
Setting up a support website for a mysterious person with great fanfare didn't seem like something she would do. But Lu Mingfei couldn't understand her, maybe she suddenly thought this was fun.
Of course, it is also possible that he was exposed again...
Lu Mingfei laughed out loud. How could this be possible? He had to accept being recognized by Sister Chu. After all, they had been together for more than ten years. Moreover, he and Chen Motong were not familiar with each other at that time, and it seemed that they were not much better now.
He continued to look down, still a little curious, a group of little superheroes would fall in love with such a mysterious person, would the school's top management have no reaction? Until he saw an ID called "Cambridge Jackknife" on the list.
Lu Mingfei held his forehead helplessly. When Chu Yuyi was teaching him how to register, she told him a few things to note. For example, the principal they had met before had an ID called Cambridge Jackknife...
The bell rang for the end of class, and the shadows were lengthened by the setting sun. Lu Mingfei couldn't even remember how he spent the day. Anyway, becoming the idol of the school felt very magical, so magical that it made him re-examine this school, and then he sadly discovered that abnormal people still accounted for the majority.
Suddenly, he paused, and quickly hid behind a bush. Not far ahead, Xia Mi was walking by with Chu Yuzhen, Su Qian was smiling behind them, and Chen Motong was slowly hanging at the end.
This combination looked a bit strange, with the shameless first-year student pestering the third-year student, relying on her cuteness to do whatever she wanted. The other two third-year students followed behind helplessly, looking like they wanted to get into their conversation but couldn't find a chance.
Only when they reached the school gate did Xia Mi reluctantly say goodbye to Chu Yuyu and walked away, looking back every few steps. After Chu Yuyu, Su Qian and Chen Motong got into their cars and left, she suddenly showed half of her face from outside the school gate, the hair on her head swaying, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the place where Lu Mingfei was hiding with ill intent.
"Hey, what are you doing here?!"
Lu Mingfei was startled by a delicate shout from behind. He turned around and saw the little troublemaker with a smug look on his face.
"Why are you walking so quietly?" Lu Mingfei glanced in the direction of the school gate. "Why are you coming here to scare me instead of going home?"
Shilan Middle School has dormitories, which are well equipped. Four people share a suite with a private bathroom. Shilan Middle School originally expanded the dormitories in order to expand enrollment, and now most of the preparatory students of Kassel College live there. The reason why it is the majority is that there are also people like Chu Yuyi who live here and bring their friends home to live. And like Lucrecia, their families are not short of money and have found a high-end hotel to book a room for a long time.
Xia Mi belongs to the former. Before moving to Yanjing, her family had an old house in southern Jiangsu.
"I'm light and flexible, so of course I don't make any sound when I walk." Xia Mi's ahoge shook, and she answered with pride, "Originally I was planning to go home, but I saw someone sneaking around here, so I wanted to see what he was doing."
“I was just passing by.” Lu Mingfei walked out of the bushes carrying his bag. He looked natural and didn’t look like he had been caught in the act.
"Hmm..." Xia Mi narrowed her eyes and stared at him, then smiled slightly.
When Lu Mingfei saw this smile, his heart skipped a beat. This smile looked so ominous, and the feeling of ill intention was about to overflow!
As expected, Xia Mi nodded slightly, and the hair on her head swayed: "I have a great thing, do you want it, Senior Brother?"
"No, I'm going home. You can have fun by yourself." Lu Mingfei shook his head and left without looking back.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave," Xia Mi caught up with her in small steps, hopping beside her and saying, "Look, it's a good thing to be able to send such a beautiful girl like me home, isn't it?"
"A limited-time mission. The beautiful girl's request should not be rejected. Escort Xia Mi home. After completion, 50 reward points will be issued." The broken plan popped up.
In my heart, I was yelling at you again from that broken plan! Lu Mingfei stopped and looked at her sideways: "You still need someone to send you home when you're that old, aren't you ashamed?"
Xia Mi also stopped, half of her face buried in her scarf, and looked at him pitifully with her big eyes: "I am a girl, and you know, brother, it is not suitable to travel alone outside recently."
Lu Mingfei looked at him like a fool: "There was a car over there just now, why didn't you mention it?"
"Ah, distance creates beauty. If I keep pestering my senior sister, she might find me annoying." Xia Mi said, burying her face deeper into her scarf, and her voice became softer and softer, "Besides, I also want to be alone with you for a while..."
Lu Mingfei said in his heart, "Can you stop disgusting me?"
"It's rare that I want to be gentle, but you don't accept it." Xia Mi poked her face out of the scarf, made a vicious expression, and threatened with her cute little fangs, "I want to eat the ice cream from the store on the east street of the school. If you don't treat me, I will butt you with my head!"
"Go by yourself." Lu Mingfei smiled slightly, and then his chest sank. This little troublemaker was really annoying!
Xia Mi took a big bite of ice cream and stuffed it into her mouth. She looked at the old street under construction with her big eyes curiously, and muttered in surprise, "Wow, it's really being demolished?"
Lu Mingfei followed her gaze and saw that was the place where the explosion had occurred before, causing Shilan Middle School to suspend classes for a long time. The explosion at that time had almost destroyed all the buildings on the ground.
Now there is a scaffolding there, covered with a green curtain. Workers and vehicles transporting materials are coming and going, busy as ever. There is no trace of the abandoned and desolate appearance it had before.
I heard that they were originally planning to build a commercial street there, but the demolition funds were insufficient so the plan was shelved. The attack on Lu Mingfei actually saved them money.
"I've only been away for a year, but the changes here are so great." Xia Mi held a spoon in her mouth and looked into the distance, saying, "I heard that there's a water park opening soon over there. It's said that there will be a discount for the opening, and children under 1.2 meters tall can get free tickets."
She touched the top of her head, sighed and said, "Hey, why do I have to grow taller?"
Lu Mingfei bit the spoon and said nothing, but he couldn't help but look at her with contempt. Then he protected the ice cream in his hand and turned around to avoid the clutches of the little troublemaker.
Xia Mi waved the spoon and gestured to the ice cream in his hand: "Can I have a taste? I want to try the strawberry flavor."
"Eat your own food!" Lu Mingfei glared at her unhappily.
There is a famous ice cream shop on East Street, which is famous for its handmade products and tastes pretty good. It is quite popular in nearby schools. However, in this era, once something is associated with handmade, it is bound to be expensive.
Two ice creams were not cheap, and even for Lu Mingfei before, it was considered a small luxury.
Xia Mi turned her head and snorted, "Hmph~ stingy."
Lu Mingfei still bit the spoon and said expressionlessly: "Please take a look at the ice cream in your hand before you say that."
Not only did he treat her to ice cream, he also took on the "good deed" of sending the beautiful girl home. Lu Mingfei had been to Xia Mi's home a few times before, but the location was not much better than his home. The only thing he remembered was the sycamore tree that was so tall that it covered the entire small building.
At that time, Chu Yuwei was explaining a question to Xia Mi in the room. While Xia Mi was listening, her eyes couldn't help rolling around. She secretly looked at Lu Mingfei who was tossing around in the trees outside. Her playful heart was no longer on the books.
"It's great that you're still here." Xia Mi placed her fair little hands on the wrinkled bark. She looked up at the phoenix tree that seemed to have not changed at all. A rare moment of nostalgia appeared on her always mischievous face.
Lu Mingfei looked down at the fallen leaves on the ground. Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, and although the weather was still hot, it was no longer summer. Like Xia Mi, he placed his hand on the wrinkled trunk of the sycamore tree, then looked sideways.
Xia Mi's home is in the old city, and its history is older than that of Lu Mingfei's home in the suburbs. Because of its remote location, it is naturally not eligible for demolition. Over the years, it has become as cold as the leaves on this sycamore tree, gradually falling off, and finally only a bare branch is left.
Caught up!
