After glancing around a few times and finding nothing unusual, he could only reluctantly look away.
"Strange...why do I always feel like someone is watching me?" Lu Mingfei wondered.
"What's wrong?" Zero asked, glancing sideways.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm just seeing things," Lu Mingfei casually offered as an excuse.
Zero's gaze swept in the same direction Lu Mingfei had just looked, but like Lu Mingfei, he found nothing.
But both of them knew perfectly well that the intuition of mixed-race individuals never gives warnings without reason.
Zero moved half a step closer to Lu Mingfei without making a sound, as if in silent vigilance.
……
After Lu Mingfei and Ling's figures completely disappeared around the street corner, a head slowly peeked out from the railing on the opposite rooftop, long black hair fluttering in the sunset.
"I almost got caught~" The girl patted her flat chest, but a sly smile appeared on her lips.
She squinted, gazing in the direction Lu Mingfei had left, her flawless face filled with confusion.
"How strange..." she muttered to herself, "How could he have come out unharmed after witnessing himself being dragged into Odin's Nibelungen?"
The girl suddenly stomped her foot angrily: "What's even worse is that they can sense my presence from this far away!"
She recalled the scene from yesterday—when she saw Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang being swallowed up by Odin's domain, she had already sentenced them to death.
But who would have thought that this seemingly useless guy not only escaped on his own, but also brought Chu Zihang with him.
“Chu Zihang definitely doesn’t have that ability…” the girl said, resting her chin on her hand. “It seems the variable lies with Lu Mingfei.”
She turned gracefully, her blue pleated skirt tracing a beautiful arc in the wind.
"Since observing from the shadows isn't working..." the girl suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, "Then let's try another way~"
The girl hummed a song as she turned and left, like a black cat about to begin its hunt, elegant yet dangerous.
……
In the back seat of the black BMW, Liu Miaomiao took out her phone and started a secret contact with Su Xiaoqiang.
Liu Miaomiao: "Where do you think Lu Mingfei will go?"
Su Xiaoqiang: "If nothing unexpected happens, we should go to the Regent Hotel."
Liu Miaomiao: "How did you know?"
Su Xiaoqiang: "Have you forgotten who gave the room key to Lu Mingfei this morning?"
Liu Miaomiao: "You've been there?"
Su Xiaoqiang: "I went there and even met the male god you used to dream about."
Liu Miaomiao: "??? What's wrong with you? Lu Mingfei and Zhao Menghua have clearly broken up, so why are you still hanging around him?"
Su Xiaoqiang, sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes, was furious when he saw Liu Miaomiao's message.
Okay, okay, so you want to hurt each other, huh? Then don't blame me for being impolite.
Su Xiaoqiang's fingers tapped the phone screen like bees fluttering their wings.
Su Xiaoqiang: "You still have the nerve to talk back to me? Confess honestly, did you go to the Regent Hotel with Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang yesterday?"
Su Xiaoqiang: "A hotel? Two men and one woman?"
Liu Miaomiao's face flushed red, and with her years of piano-level 10 typing speed, she started typing rapidly.
Liu Miaomiao: "Don't overthink it. Nothing happened between us. Yesterday, I just went shopping with Lu Mingfei. I only found out at the airport that he was there to pick up Chu Zihang."
Su Xiaoqiang: "Oh?"
Su Xiaoqiang found it strange. Didn't Liu Miaomiao suspect that Chu Zihang's appearance in this city at this time was illogical?
Moreover, when they met yesterday, Chu Zihang's first question was, "Did Lu Mingfei send you?"
Based on her reasoning, Chu Zihang is most likely the same type of person as Lu Mingfei.
Liu Miaomiao: "It's true. After picking up Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei took me to Century New Star. Nothing happened between us at all."
Su Xiaoqiang stared at the message on her phone screen, lost in thought.
She closed her eyes, recalling everything that had happened in the gym yesterday.
Lu Mingfei appeared with Liu Miaomiao, then suddenly challenged him to a duel, and mysteriously ran off during a thunderstorm.
It would have been better if she hadn't thought about it, but once she did, she discovered a blind spot: Lu Mingfei hadn't shown any surprise at all throughout the entire process.
It was as if he had known all along that he would become a rising star.
Su Xiaoqiang's brows furrowed more as she thought about it.
Why did Liu Miaomiao not notice anything unusual about Lu Mingfei when they lived together? Didn't she find it strange that Lu Mingfei had changed so much in just a few days?
A moment later, Su Xiaoqiang opened her eyes.
He turned his gaze back to the phone screen and slowly typed out a line of text.
Su Xiaoqiang: "Liu Miaomiao, don't you think Lu Mingfei is strange?"
Chapter 56 Suspicion Ends
Liu Miaomiao: "What's strange about it?"
Su Xiaoqiang's eyes darkened. Liu Miaomiao wasn't stupid; how could she not have noticed Lu Mingfei's unusual behavior by now?
The only explanation is that Lu Mingfei influenced her through some means.
Then, he made Liu Miaomiao fall in love with him.
This also explains why Liu Miaomiao fell in love with him within a few days.
Upon reflection, Su Xiaoqiang also realized that her behavior was strange.
Although Lu Mingfei helped her yesterday, when she saw Lu Mingfei confronting Zhao Menghua today, she actually felt that Lu Mingfei should be so assertive, and her heart even raced because of it, making her forget about Zhao Menghua, whom she had secretly loved for a long time.
This is so weird.
Changing a person is incredibly difficult, yet Lu Mingfei transformed from a loser into someone who could easily overpower Zhao Menghua in just a few days, winning the heart of Liu Miaomiao, and even suddenly acquiring a beautiful Russian fiancée... All these anomalies point to Lu Mingfei.
So the question is—should she continue to approach this anomaly center?
If we continue, will I end up like Liu Miaomiao, falling in love with him inexplicably?
Su Xiaoqiang stared at her phone screen, her fingertips hovering over the keyboard, hesitant to make a move.
Should she tell Liu Miaomiao her speculation?
After much deliberation, she decided to test the waters first.
Su Xiaoqiang: "After Lu Mingfei goes back tonight, have him call me."
Liu Miaomiao: "What do you want to do?"
Su Xiaoqiang: "It's just confirming one thing. Don't worry, I really have no feelings for him."
Liu Miaomiao: "Hard to say!"
Su Xiaoqiang narrowed her eyes and decided to approach the issue from a different angle.
Su Xiaoqiang: "Then let me ask you, why did you suddenly abandon the male god you've had a crush on for so long and turn to Lu Mingfei's arms?"
Liu Miaomiao looked at the message and felt both annoyed and amused.
Isn't your best friend the biggest wingman?
If it weren't for your harsh criticism, I'd still be wavering right now.
Liu Miaomiao: "You deserve half the credit for this."
Liu Miaomiao: "If you hadn't scolded me awake, I would still be a fence-sitter."
Liu Miaomiao: "Then last night I confessed to him... Anyway, that's how it is."
Upon seeing the reply, Su Xiaoqiang slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing what had happened.
It turns out that Liu Miaomiao really liked Lu Mingfei, and it was all her doing to bring them together.
She couldn't help but laugh at her own wild imagination—it seemed that she had been overthinking things regarding Lu Mingfei.
Su Xiaoqiang shook her head self-deprecatingly and typed the last message on the screen:
"Alright, it seems I was just overthinking it!"
Putting down her phone, Su Xiaoqiang looked out the window at the street scene rushing by.
After learning the truth, she felt both relieved and vaguely disappointed.
……
Lu Mingfei and Ling walked side by side on the street.
Along the way, because of Zero, the two of them received a lot of attention.
However, when he felt those envious gazes, Lu Mingfei's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
The fact that such a cute young woman was his fiancée felt like a windfall to Lu Mingfei.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei felt somewhat grateful to his parents, who were rarely home. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to have such a lovely fiancée.
Glancing sideways at the quiet girl beside him, Lu Mingfei decided to take the initiative.
“Zero, can you tell me about the world of hybrids?” he asked in a low voice.
Looking up, Lu Mingfei could see himself reflected in those clear eyes.
She nodded gently, and then began to recount the history of mixed-race people.
"Hybrids are humans who have inherited the bloodline of dragons."
"In ancient times, the rulers of this world were not humans, but dragons, who possessed unparalleled power."
"Later, the human race stole the bloodline of the dragon race and, together with several other dragon kings, overthrew the rule of the Black King Nidhogg. After that, the human era began."
Lu Mingfei keenly caught the key words in Zero's mouth: Nidhogg the Black King. If he remembered correctly, this should be the culprit in Norse mythology who gnawed down the World Tree.
When Norse mythology is mentioned, Lu Mingfei thinks of Odin, whom he met yesterday.
