"I'll bring you your clothes later. If you dare to run around naked, you're dead!"
With a click, the heavy soundproof door shut out the outside noise.
Even though Lu Mingfei's senses are now extraordinary, he can only detect the slightest movements outside.
Outside the door, Su Xiaoqiang pulled Liu Miaomiao aside and lowered her voice:
Are you sure you've thought this through?
Liu Miaomiao bit her lower lip lightly, her gaze resolute:
"I don't want to be the kind of shallow girl you describe. I will fight for it in my own way."
“Then you’d better hurry,” Su Xiaoqiang glanced at the closed door, “Shilan Middle School starts making up classes tomorrow, if Lu Mingfei causes any big commotion at school…”
She didn't finish her sentence, but both of them understood—
Once Lu Mingfei's true strength is revealed, his eager competitors will swarm in like sharks smelling blood.
During the hour Lu Mingfei was away, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao had an in-depth conversation.
Despite their very different personalities, they were the best of friends in the class.
It's worth mentioning that Su Xiaoqiang's dislike for another class beauty, Chen Wenwen, was almost extreme.
She couldn't stand Chen Wenwen's aloof and manipulative behavior—using Lu Mingfei's affection for her to order him around.
She could have simply ignored Lu Mingfei, and he would have withered away from the lack of romantic tension in no time.
But she wouldn't have it! Every now and then she'd give him a little treat, keeping Lu Mingfei completely under her thumb.
Every time she saw Lu Mingfei being bossed around by Chen Wenwen and looking so happy, she would get furious, which was why she often argued with Lu Mingfei.
Because she just couldn't stand Lu Mingfei's sycophantic behavior, and even more so Chen Wenwen's manipulative ways.
If it weren't for Zhao Menghua, Su Xiaoqiang would never have bothered joining Chen Wenwen's literary society.
"Yes, I understand." Liu Miaomiao nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
“Let’s go,” Su Xiaoqiang said, linking arms with Liu Miaomiao, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. “If we don’t hurry up and get that idiot some clothes, he might end up running home naked.”
Ten minutes later, Lu Mingfei, wrapped in Su Xiaoqiang's bath towel, lay on the soft bed, utterly dejected.
Although he was extremely unwilling, considering Miss Su's threat to "kill you if you dare to run naked" and his own dirty clothes that were comparable to a biological weapon, he had no choice but to reluctantly borrow this bath towel with a faint jasmine scent.
"It smells quite nice..." Lu Mingfei subconsciously took a deep breath, then suddenly realized what he was doing and quickly shook his head.
But the delicate fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, and he inexplicably picked up the pillow—
"Click!"
"Lu Mingfei, here are your clothes..." Su Xiaoqiang's voice trailed off.
Eyes facing each other.
Lu Mingfei stood frozen in place, still clutching the pillow he had "tainted."
He sprang up as if electrocuted, nearly slipping his towel. He frantically grabbed it with one hand, then raised his right hand and said with a serious expression:
"Little Heavenly Maiden, would you believe me if I said this was a misunderstanding?"
Su Xiaoqiang closed the door expressionlessly.
"Wait!" Lu Mingfei rushed to the door and pounded on it. "It really is a misunderstanding!"
“I understand,” came Su Xiaoqiang’s calm voice from outside the door. “After all, you’re a teenage boy.”
No, you don't understand!
"I see!"
Just as the two were facing off through the door, Liu Miaomiao, holding new clothes, stood at the doorway, tilting her head:
"What game are you guys playing?"
Chapter 38 Lu Mingfei is guilty!
Su Xiaoqiang immediately blocked the doorknob with her body, while Lu Mingfei inside the door was now truly devastated.
Su Xiaoqiang had no idea that Lu Mingfei would take a shower so quickly.
She intended to quietly put her change of clothes in the room, but unexpectedly stumbled upon this embarrassing scene.
But strangely, she didn't feel much anger.
On the contrary, she even felt that Lu Mingfei's reaction was perfectly normal—after all, he was young and full of life.
What made her heart race even faster was this realization:
If Lu Mingfei could feel such an impulse towards her personal belongings, does that mean he also feels the same way about himself...?
The moment the thought crossed Su Xiaoqiang's mind, she felt her cheeks burning and quickly shook her head.
……
"Court is in session—" Liu Miaomiao said sternly, slamming a pillow onto the bed.
“Majestic!” Su Xiaoqiang dragged out the sound in a cooperative tone.
"Criminal Lu Mingfei!" Liu Miaomiao suddenly raised her voice, "Do you know your crime?!"
Lu Mingfei, wearing a bath towel, knelt on the floor with his hands clasped together in a pleading gesture.
"Your Honor! I've been wronged!"
"How dare you!" Liu Miaomiao grabbed the fragrant pillow. "The evidence is conclusive, and you still dare to argue!" She slammed the pillow onto the bed, mimicking what she did in TV dramas.
The fragrant pillow seemed like an ancient god descending to earth; looking at it for even a second would cause it to explode. Lu Mingfei immediately turned his head away, not daring to look directly at it.
"Your Excellency is wise!" He turned his head and pointed to his nose. "This is allergic rhinitis. It gets triggered by fragrant scents... it gets triggered by..."
"Still trying to argue? Summon witness Su Xiaoqiang!"
Su Xiaoqiang immediately stepped forward, pointed at Lu Mingfei's face that was turning towards her, and said righteously:
"Your Honor, I witnessed the defendant hugging and rubbing against my pillow, his behavior was extremely vile!"
"With witnesses and physical evidence presented, I hereby declare—immediate execution!" Liu Miaomiao slapped her pillow. "I hereby pronounce the sentence—immediate execution!"
"Lord Liu, spare my life!" Lu Mingfei slid down and knelt down, grabbing Liu Miaomiao's leg. "I'm willing to atone for my sins with good deeds!"
"You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment!" Liu Miaomiao suddenly couldn't help but laugh, then quickly put on a stern face. "You are sentenced to change your clothes immediately and escort me back to my residence!"
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Excellency!" Lu Mingfei kowtowed exaggeratedly. "You are truly a modern-day Bao Zheng!"
Liu Miaomiao said coldly:
"If this happens again, I will execute him without mercy! Court adjourned—"
"Wow—majestic—" Su Xiaoqiang suppressed a laugh as she watched the two clowns finish their whole performance.
……
Lu Mingfei quickly changed into the brand-new clothes that Liu Miaomiao had placed on the bed.
But as soon as he put it on, he felt something was wrong.
But after he changed into them, he felt a little uncomfortable. They didn't have the same loose feel as his old clothes, and they felt a bit tight.
He lowered his head and carefully examined his hands, which seemed to have become stronger. He touched his waist and abdomen in disbelief.
He walked to the full-length mirror and took off his shirt.
The sight in the mirror made him gasp – his once slender body now displayed clearly defined muscle lines.
He raised his arm in disbelief, his biceps bulging in a beautiful arc with the movement.
When you lightly touch your chest and abdomen with your fingertips, you can feel the firm muscle contours.
Her once flat stomach now faintly reveals the outline of a six-pack, casting a soft shadow under the light.
“This…” Lu Mingfei turned around, his back muscles stretching out in the mirror, like a pair of wings about to take flight.
He subconsciously made a punching motion, and the muscles in his shoulder blades immediately taut out a smooth curve.
What shocked him most was that these changes were not the result of previous gym workouts, but rather a natural, lean physique, with every inch of muscle containing explosive power.
He hadn't noticed it when he took a shower before, but it turned out his body had changed so much.
With a thought, he brought up his personal panel.
His gaze swept quickly across the list, but stopped at the Bloodline Awakening level section.
[Bloodline Awakening Level: 10%]
“I see…” Lu Mingfei stroked his chin thoughtfully. His current situation was probably due to the influence of bloodline awakening on his body, which caused changes in his body.
The system had previously told him that once his bloodline began to awaken, he would grow towards perfect proportions, and when his bloodline was fully awakened, he would become an even more amazing being than Chu Zihang.
Unexpectedly, just 10% of his awakening level had already caused his body to become like this.
His limbs became strong and powerful, and even his previously reed-like body was filled up like a duck being force-fed.
While they may not be as muscular as those who work out regularly, they are still very healthy!
He leaned closer to the mirror, observing his face, and it seemed as if even his appearance had changed.
He used to have a gloomy look on his face, but now he looks like one of those celebrities in commercials, full of confidence.
Lu Mingfei tried to mimic Chu Zihang's cold and aloof expression, which actually gave off a disdainful vibe, but it also made him seem unapproachable, so he gave up.
Although Senior Brother Chu is indeed very handsome, he is not Chu Zihang, nor does he intend to become Chu Zihang.
He is Lu Mingfei, and he wants to be Lu Mingfei.
"Lu Mingfei, are you ready? My dad is here!" Liu Miaomiao's voice drifted in from outside the door.
Lu Mingfei stopped thinking and quickly changed his clothes.
He was wearing grey jeans, a white shirt, and a grey-silver jacket.
Finally, he twirled in front of the full-length mirror, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Coming, coming!" Lu Mingfei unlocked the door and went out.
Su Xiaoqiang leaned against the window and idly started drawing doodles on the glass with her finger.
