Starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 30 Now, I Don't Like You Anymore

If it was just a wild pig that wanted to shove cabbage, then the butler probably wouldn't even shake his hand when he swung the knife.

But now the pig has a name and a surname, and the housekeeper also recognizes the pig's... great-grandfather.

Anyway, it's hard to do.

Some things have actually been gradually lost in the dust of history, and the housekeeper is unwilling to dig out those things again.

If the dead come back to life, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time..." the housekeeper thought, "They are all good boys...and I... am just a housekeeper."

……

In the classroom, Lu Mingfei was cleaning the blackboard, and it happened to be his turn to be on duty today.

In fact, there should be a few people who were originally on duty, but those people finished their work carelessly with great insight and left... Although they were full of curiosity.

Besides Lu Mingfei, there was another person in the classroom.

Chen Wenwen.

Lu Mingfei wiped the blackboard as if he had nothing else to do, the classroom was so quiet that only the rustling of the blackboard was left.

The sound of a girl humming.

Lu Mingfei's whole body froze, as if under a fixed spell.

Time seemed to freeze.

"Time flies so fast." The girl said softly after humming for a while, "It seems like everything is still yesterday."

Lu Mingfei turned around and saw Chen Wenwen sitting on her seat, looking at him.

In a trance, Lu Mingfei seemed to have really traveled back in time and returned to the past, as if that incident really happened yesterday.

"Have you forgotten?" Chen Wenwen said softly, "I invited you to join the literature club that day."

Lu Mingfei was silent.

He did not forget.

How could you forget?

He still remembers that afternoon, there were only him and Chen Wenwen in the classroom like today, he was cleaning the blackboard, and Chen Wenwen was wearing a white cotton skirt, sneakers, and white socks, sitting on the podium humming in a low voice, the setting sun The slanting light from the slanting light shone on the newly replaced desks, and the wall-climbing tiger hung down outside the window. In the evening between spring and summer, it was extremely quiet. Chen Wenwen suddenly turned her head and asked Lu Mingfei, do you want to join our literature club?
Lu Mingfei still remembers the feeling at that time. At that time, he felt as if he had been petrified, and only his heart was beating suddenly. The flowers and plants outside the window were growing wildly, and the setting sun was setting. The time slips away, the time changes, but the gaze between him and Chen Wenwen seems to be eternal.

As now.

"Of course I remember." Lu Mingfei said, "You invited me to join the literature club that day."

There was a gleam of joy in Chen Wenwen's eyes, and Lu Mingfei was in a daze...Have you ever seen such a feeling in Chen Wenwen's eyes?
I don't think so... because Lu Mingfei didn't dare to look at Chen Wenwen for too long. If he took a look, he would move away for fear of being discovered by others.

Although it is useless, it seems that the whole school knows about it.

"You now……"

"yesterday……"

The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.

"The confession I made on QQ yesterday," Lu Mingfei said in the end, "is actually true."

"...I know." Chen Wenwen replied.

"Know it all along?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"...Yes." Chen Wenwen panicked a little subconsciously. For some reason, she felt that things seemed to be out of her control. In her expectation, Lu Mingfei should listen to her and then agree. It's the same as before...but now everything seems to have changed.

The appearance of that weak child has changed, and then... the inside, it seems to have changed as well.

"...But you have already rejected it anyway?" Lu Mingfei asked after being silent.

Chen Wenwen, who was a little flustered, didn't hear the trace of hope hidden in Lu Mingfei's tone when he said this.

"Actually..." Chen Wenwen considered her words, "I just think high school is more suitable for studying."

The last ray of light in Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered and shattered.

And then there's the flame rekindled beneath the ashes of the former wretched child.

as if——

Rise from the ashes.

"Actually, I always thought you were different from others." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and said.

Chen Wenwen looked at Lu Mingfei, and suddenly felt that Lu Mingfei... began to exude a different temperament.

easy.

It was as if something that had been haunting him before had finally left, the weight that weighed him down was gone.

Inexplicably, Chen Wenwen felt flustered.

"What's the difference? The difference lies in the temperament. It feels like... a very literary atmosphere, that kind of artistic conception," Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Sorry, I've been in the literature club for so long. I didn’t learn any useful sentences. From the beginning, my purpose was not to read books at all, nor was it to love literature or something… It’s just… I just feel that you are like the person in the book, giving people an unreal feeling, If I have to use a metaphor... a fairy in the sky? Not stained by the dust of the world?"

Lu Mingfei smiled, with a bit of bitterness in his smile: "I made a bet with a person, and now I lost, which means I have to fulfill the bet, but I suddenly understood that he and I made this bet The reason... Even if the bet is not this, I will do it that way, he just gave me an excuse for the bet."

"What...a bet?" Chen Wenwen couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, in fact, it depends on whether you are also a good-looking person." Lu Mingfei smiled. At this moment, from his perspective, the halos that shrouded Chen Wenwen in the past seemed to be shattered one by one.

Leave the truth in vain.

"..." Chen Wenwen was silent, not knowing what to say.

"I liked you before, and I was serious," Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen. The gaze between them seemed to have really returned to that spring and summer evening, but this time, Lu Mingfei understood that the world's Nothing lasts forever.

Time will always flow forward without stopping, bringing everything and taking everything away, and everything will change accordingly.

Including, the so-called likes.

"but now……"

he said softly.

"I do not like you anymore."

……

"...Is it Su Xiaoqiang?"

When Lu Mingfei put down the eraser and picked up his schoolbag and was about to leave, Chen Wenwen said suddenly.

"What?" Lu Mingfei stopped and turned around with astonishment on his face.

"It's her, right?" Seeing Lu Mingfei's expression, Chen Wenwen became more and more sure, "What did she say to you?"

"No, it's not her..." A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Mingfei's eyes, "As expected, is this the real you?"

After all, Lu Mingfei turned around and prepared to leave. He has been shocked enough today.

"But isn't she the same?" Chen Wenwen asked.

"...It's actually different."

Lu Mingfei stopped, but turned his head. The setting sun carved his back and profile, with a slight smile on his gentle face.

"She's prettier than you."

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingfei waved his hands, as if saying goodbye to the past.

"Goodbye, classmate Chen Wenwen."
