Caesar outwardly showed disdain for the S-class, declaring, "If he wants to challenge my position, then bring it on. I will not lose to him in any aspect."
In fact, he and she would ask each other about S-class freshman recruitment and S-class performance on their phones every day. The three ridiculous questions that Lu Mingfei answered had long been on the desk of the Caesar Student Council.
It can be said that it is highly valued.
Chen Motong believed that Wang Anzhi was the same, even though his pride was different from others, as if he believed that he should be at the top.
In fact, Wang Anzhi really couldn't refuse. He desperately needed a legitimate way to contact Lu Mingfei and try to break the deadlock by starting a second historical scenario.
Lu Mingfei has lived under the surveillance of the Secret Party since childhood. Everyone who gets close to him for no apparent reason is recorded in his file. It must be mentioned that the Secret Party is currently very powerful, and Wang Anzhi himself can only keep a low profile and not do anything against common sense, waiting for the right time.
"Senior brother, you haven't fallen for him, have you?"
Xia Mi was curious and didn't understand why this extremely mysterious senior brother, who carried a large amount of spiritual elements and might be related to the White King, would be interested in an "ordinary" S-rank.
Chen Motong also looked at Wang Anzhi, without any surprise on her face.
Wang Anzhi first looked at Xia Mi, and finally extended his hand to Chen Motong, saying sincerely, "Senior Sister Nuonuo, I really want to see the splendor of an S-rank."
Chen Motong smiled like a fox, glanced triumphantly at the somewhat dejected Xia Mi, and grabbed Wang Anzhi's hand.
"Alright, let's get ready to go!"
Chapter 14 The Black-Haired Loser
Outside Shilan High School, on the Ferrari.
"Is that an S-class? It doesn't look particularly special."
"There's nothing particularly special about him, except that he's exceptionally good at StarCraft. Norma could only barely defeat him by opening the entire map."
"They were actually able to compete with Norma."
"Yes, that's probably what makes S-class special!"
Who is that girl next to the S-class?
"These are unrelated people, just S-class crushes."
Wang Anzhi sat in the back seat, close to Xia Mi. At this moment, the two girls, Nuonuo and Xia Mi, were watching Lu Mingfei and his beloved goddess Chen Wenwen walking home from school together on the path not far away. A small stream flowed by the roadside, and an indescribable color flowed in the fresh air.
Wang Anzhi, Xia Mi, and Nuonuo watched as Chen Wenwen and Lu Mingfei walked together towards the Ferrari where they were, slowly approaching from a distance.
Before I knew it, I was starting to feel a little dazed.
"What are you thinking about, Senior Brother?" Xia Mi pouted and pointed at Chen Wenwen, who was wearing a plain white dress, teasingly asking, "You haven't also fallen for that girl that S-rank has a crush on, have you?"
"How could that be?" Wang Anzhi couldn't help but chuckle. If he, like most of his peers, had started with Shilan Middle School and had the same sharp eyes as Chen Wenwen, he naturally wouldn't have let her off the hook. After all, it was a kind of injustice he couldn't accept!
But now, with Xiaolongnu by his side and a bright prospect of becoming emperor beckoning him, what is Chen Wenwen in this situation?
She was Lu Mingfei's unresolved regret, not Wang Anzhi's.
"Isn't the person I can fall for right in front of me?"
Xia Mi avoided his gaze, while Chen Motong shook his head, feeling the scent of childhood sweethearts all around him. He opened the car door and said, "Come on, let's get acquainted with the S-class."
Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi caught up in time. As Lu Mingfei approached, Xia Mi asked softly, "Senior Sister Nuonuo, are you very familiar with S-rank?"
Chen Motong remained noncommittal. At this time, her relationship with Lu Mingfei was indeed not very good, but she decided to prove herself with practical actions.
"Hey, why do you look so shy?"
At this moment, Chen Motong had already taken off her sunglasses and walked towards Lu Mingfei.
At this moment, Chen Wenwen, who was standing next to Lu Mingfei, had already been overwhelmed by Chen Motong's unreasonable little princess-like arrogance.
"Senior brother, it seems that Senior Sister Chen has a really good relationship with the S-rank!"
Xia Mi revealed a sly smile. She didn't think there was any deep affection between Chen Motong and Lu Mingfei at all. She only saw that Chen Motong was trying to add more ruggedness to the already narrow path of affection between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen.
The only thing that puzzled her was that she still couldn't see what was so noteworthy about Lu Mingfei, and she didn't understand why her good senior brother would look at Lu Mingfei with such a nostalgic expression.
“Indeed,” Wang Anzhi replied casually, not really listening to Xia Mi’s words, but thinking about how to open the next historical instance through Lu Mingfei.
When he first opened the historical instance, he was thinking of clinging to Xia Mi's coattails and obtaining some kind of "bond with the Dragon King Jormungandr" before he could unlock the Last Emperor instance.
It's not shameful; even the King of Gao had his moments of flattering the Rouran queen.
What about now?
Should he learn from Lu Mingfei and treat him as a subordinate, or should he learn from Chu Zihang and treat Lu Mingfei as a brother, or should he treat Lu Mingfei like Angers and simply use and trust him?
Too much.
Wang Anzhi scratched his head.
Xia Mi's face darkened when she saw Wang Anzhi looking so focused. What a joke! Her senior brother hadn't been so distracted with her in the past three years. How could he be like this the moment he saw Lu Mingfei?
One glimpse of Mingfei and your life is ruined?
But judging from Lu Mingfei's timid and hesitant manner in front of Chen Wenwen, it doesn't seem like he really is Chen Wenwen!
In short, Xia Mi seemed somewhat disillusioned. Just as she was hesitating about whether she should compete with another man for another man's man, Nuonuo waved to them, signaling them to come over.
Xia Mi grinned, "Senior brother, the S-rank you've been longing for."
As the Dragon Queen, she doesn't care about the rankings among hybrids, even if they are truly qualified to challenge her.
The so-called S-level only means that you can see her bottom line.
Wang Anzhi smiled and saw Xia Mi skipping and hopping over, so he followed her.
“Senior Sister Nuonuo,” Wang Anzhi didn’t look at Chen Motong for long before turning his gaze to Lu Mingfei, “Also, Lu Mingfei, it’s been a long time.”
……
Lu Mingfei was a little flustered. He hadn't even had time to deal with Chen Wenwen about Chen Motong's matter when two more people approached him in the blink of an eye, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, both of them looking like heroes and talented women. The man even blurted out his name—of course, this wasn't surprising, probably because Nuonuo had given it to him, since she didn't seem like someone who would keep his secrets.
But what terrified him most was the boy's expression, as if they had been reunited after a long separation.
Ever since Kassel College suddenly appeared in his life, he has fantasized about one day becoming "the one"—a savior—like Neo from The Matrix.
But even though his true specialness wasn't revealed, and it was merely that everyone seemed to know him, this already made him panic and even want to run away. Along with the invitation letter from Kassel College, he was afraid of these unfamiliar things from the bottom of his heart.
"Lu Mingfei, are they also your friends?" This was the second time Chen Wenwen had asked this question today. The first time was when she was faced with the red-haired shrine maiden's aura, which far surpassed her own. This time, it was Xia Mi's otherworldly beauty that made her feel embarrassed, as if she couldn't believe that her henchmen would have such friends.
"That's right!" As if possessed, seeing a hint of shock in Chen Wenwen's eyes, Lu Mingfei nodded in agreement, but then quickly regretted it. He clearly didn't know either of them at all, whether it was the beautiful girl who looked like a fairy or the tough guy holding the fairy's hand.
If it were Nuonuo, he would at least have met her a few times, but he really didn't know these two people!
Unconsciously, Lu Mingfei's gaze towards the two people walking towards him carried a faint, almost imperceptible plea, hoping that they wouldn't expose him in front of Chen Wenwen.
Xia Mi remained silent. At this moment, she was also very curious about her senior brother's attitude towards Lu Mingfei. Was he a friend or foe?
"Yes, Mingfei and I have known each other for a long time, almost since we were children."
Wang Anzhi looked into those eyes, which resembled those of a lion at rest, and spoke slowly.
I've grown up, but Lu Mingfei hasn't.
Chapter 15 Chairman Lionheart
Naturally, no familiar subtitles flashed before Wang Anzhi's eyes.
Lu Mingfei may seem like a loser, but getting along with him is much harder than getting along with Jormungandr disguised as Xia Mi. Even when they are just nodding acquaintances, Lu Mingfei sometimes doesn't accept them.
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and got up on his own when the three girls, mainly Chen Motong, started clamoring to buy ice cream. Wang Anzhi followed suit.
The two remained silent the whole way until they were in front of the ice cream shop, away from the other girls, before breaking the silence.
While asking the clerk for five ice creams, Lu Mingfei lowered his voice as if Chen Wenwen was still chasing after him, "Good man, thank you for getting me out of that situation."
"It's nothing. It was just that Senior Sister Nuonuo and I wanted to see you, so we came here specifically. I should be the one apologizing for disturbing your date with your crush," Wang Anzhi replied.
Lu Mingfei deliberately ignored the teasing remarks in the second half of the sentence, such as having a crush on a female classmate or going on a date, and did not want to delve into the "special" aspect he subtly displayed in the sentence. Instead, he keenly noticed the flaw in the first half of the sentence.
"Senior sisters? You're also from Kassel College."
“Yes, Xia Mi and I are both freshmen at Kassel College,” Wang Anzhi corrected, “but not you, it’s us. Mingfei, you are also a student at Kassel College.”
"I haven't decided yet," Lu Mingfei muttered, relieved.
He didn't know why he didn't want to go to Kassel College. Even if he knew which university Chen Wenwen was going to, he might not be able to get into the same university as her. His grades were below average, but in terms of Shilan High School, they were at the bottom.
At the same time, he asked, "Xia Mi, what's that girl's name?"
Wang Anzhi looked at the girl chatting happily with Chen Motong and Chen Wenwen in the distance, his tone softened, and he nodded.
Lu Mingfei felt a pang of sadness. Just by looking at how intimate the brother and the girl were, he knew he didn't need to ask any further questions.
His brothers have all made it ashore, but he's still agonizing over his confession with an uncertain outcome.
The ice cream was ready by then. Lu Mingfei paid for it, and Wang Anzhi took the two ice creams for himself and Xia Mi. Looking at the somewhat flustered guy holding three ice creams, he was filled with memories.
"Consort Ming, you're treating me this time, but next time it'll be my turn to treat you."
Lu Mingfei wanted to wave his hand to show his composure and say that this small amount of money was nothing to worry about, but his hands were covered in ice cream. He just nodded casually, not really caring about the promise at all.
Just as they were about to leave, Lu Mingfei realized that he hadn't yet asked the name of this potential future classmate.
As if guessing what he was going to say, Wang Anzhi replied, "Wang Anzhi, my name is Wang Anzhi."
Before Lu Mingfei could even complain about the name, which was neither classical nor meant to be presumptuous, he blurted out a string of nonsensical words, "Brother, what's your relationship with Wang Xizhi?"
"Ah, maybe we were one family 1,500 years ago. The swallows that once graced the mansions of the wealthy and powerful now fly into the homes of ordinary people!"
Back home, Lu Mingfei watched as his future classmate shoved ice cream in front of the girl. The girl smiled and took it, but then smeared the ice cream on Wang's face. Watching them playfully bickering, and then looking at Chen Wenwen quietly eating her ice cream, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel envious. The ice cream in his hand suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.
The only thing he didn't quite like was Wang Anzhi's expression, which seemed to be certain that he would go to Kassel College, and it gave him a strange sense of panic.
"elder brother."
He vaguely heard a soft call in his ear, but when he tried to find the source, he saw nothing. Only the sound of Chen Wenwen's hair being stirred by the wind echoed endlessly on the secluded path.
Finally, they parted ways at the crossroads. He and Chen Wenwen continued their aimless chatter as they headed home, while the three classmates from Kassel College vanished without a trace from his life.
Perhaps this is for the best. Lu Mingfei glanced at Chen Wenwen beside him, sincerely hoping that this journey could be a little longer, a little longer.
……
"Junior brother, stop staring. The S-rank you've been longing for has already left with the girl he secretly loves," Chen Motong teased, looking at Wang Anzhi who was staring intently at Lu Mingfei.
Wang Anzhi ignored it, silently pondering how to open the next historical instance.
