Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

"Corleone is the hometown of the Sicilian Mafia. It is said that almost all the Italian mafia bosses who roamed the world were born and raised in this small town. So in "The Godfather" the director called the protagonist's godfather's family 'Corleone', but this is actually It’s very funny, because at the end of the last century, the Chenghuang Temple was also the birthplace of the evil forces in my hometown.”

Lu Mingfei talked incessantly, pressing his face against the car window and looking longingly. Over there was the west gate of Shilan Middle School, over there was the facade of the roasted duck neck, and over there was the video game arcade he used to take. I followed Su Xiaoqiang to conquer the Three Kingdoms, but now I have closed down and opened a stationery store...

Ling Ze turned the steering wheel with his hands and shuttled through the traffic flow of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Panamera and Cadillac. There were not many clouds above his head. If the world turned into a slow-motion movie lens, when the sight was raised enough to overlook those standing among the low buildings, When you see the gray-white buildings in the room, the world becomes silent. It was also silent inside the car.

"Think about it if Feng Xiaogang made a movie and named the gangster in it the City God's Temple Small Commodity Wholesale Market, it would be really bad." Lu Mingfei said.

The Rolls-Royce stopped outside the small street. Looking inside, you can see that there are stalls on both sides of the street. The surviving French plane trees are growing in a mess, and no one has pruned them. The leaves of the plane trees were long before the snow. They all fell away, and now only the bare branches are left, like the palms of the dead stretching out from the grave. However, each tree is hung with colorful ribbons and lanterns, plus the shadows of the trees intertwined in the air. Below is a bustling crowd, but it doesn't seem weird at all.

As soon as they parked the car, a mounted policeman who was wandering on the roadside came up with fried dough sticks and tofu noodles and knocked on Lu Mingfei's car window.

The eldest brother has a face that is quite convincing with Chinese characters. As soon as Lu Mingfei rolled down the car window, four characters came to his mind: fair and honest.

"Comrade, you are not allowed to park here." The eldest brother didn't seem to be awake and was yawning again and again. Lu Mingfei was all smiles: "Hey, Comrade Police, don't you think I just returned to China? I used to be in Shilan next door. Alumni of middle school, please remember that parking is allowed in this area.”

As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette, and the mounted policeman quickly reached out to stop him, "Didn't this just hit the national civilized city selection? The Municipal Transportation Bureau has been very strict about random parking in recent times. You'd better do it." Just park in the parking lot next to it.”

"Okay, okay, let's move here." Lu Mingfei said, "Thanks for the reminder."

"Serve the people." The mounted policeman put on his hat and saluted. He didn't wear a police badge or a law enforcement recorder. It seemed that he hadn't gone to work yet, but he just saw a reminder on the road.

"Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up before rolling up the car window.

"Hahahahaha, that's that." Lu Mingfei was shameless, but Ling secretly turned red at the tip of his ears. He quickly straightened his hair and covered up the abnormality with his hair.

"Then what should we do now?" Zero asked.

Lu Mingfei blinked: "Why don't you park the car at the school? Anyway, the class has just started and there are no parents coming to pick up the students."

"Can you get in?"

"Why can't you get in? At that time, our grade dean said that Chu Zihang and I were the golden boys and girls of Shilan Middle School. Whether we can win the title of Model High School in those two years depends entirely on us." Lu Mingfei indignant.

Furthermore, even if the security guard at the door doesn't remember Lu Mingfei, can he still remember this good car with a landing price of 9 million? Damn it, back then Chu Tianjiao could drive a Maybach and go crazy. There is no reason why they should be inferior to others when they drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"Which one of you is the beautiful girl?" Zero's focus was different, but he had already shifted into reverse gear and was about to park the car into the school as Lu Mingfei said.

"Chu Zihang." Lu Mingfei said firmly.

"No wonder there are rumors about your scandal in the academy, and some people even wrote fan fiction for fujoshi seniors who are juniors and seniors." Zero nodded with a calm expression.

People kept making fun of Chu Zihang and himself. Lu Mingfei was also a little angry. He reached out to pinch Ling's face and said viciously: "Then you're not jealous?"

"If you don't get jealous, you can't have children." Zero didn't resist, but the muscles in Lu Mingfei's cheeks twitched.

"Damn it, I thought it was a pure revolutionary friendship between us having supper together, but you actually want to have a child with me?" He was indeed stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

"No." Zero said.

When the Rolls-Royce was about to drive into Shilan Middle School, the security guard at the door did not stop it. The old man stood up from his security booth with a beer belly and saluted decently.

"Speaking of which, I remembered one thing. Xiaotiannu's father and uncle are both directors of this school. They should know this car." Lu Mingfei unbuckled his seat belt as he spoke.

After stepping through the stainless steel sliding door, he couldn't help but want to hold his head high. The ancients said that not returning home in rich clothes is like walking at night in rich clothes. Although Lu Mingfei has passed the age where he likes to show off, he looks familiar around him. He still had some inexplicable feelings about everything.

"I remember that Su Xiaoqiang's father was a mine boss, right? In China, mine boss is almost the epitome of nouveau riche. Your uncle runs a chain store of footbaths, and he is so concerned about education." Zero also unlocked the safety bring.

They strolled out of the car. Lu Mingfei looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nono told him before that in another time and space, Finger knocked her out in the wine cellar of Golden Iris Academy with red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars a bottle, and then ran all the way from the Maltese Islands to China, and visited Shilan Middle School in a careless manner just to find Chu Zihang who disappeared in fate.

The senior sister said that the day they came just happened to be the school anniversary of Shilan Middle School. There were so many people and red flags flying, and there were two mythical beasts standing at the school gate. She couldn't remember other things clearly, but she remembered that there were two white marble sculptures, a man on the left and a woman on the right. The boy on the left was holding a space shuttle model in his hand and was running wildly in a funny and silly manner, while the girl on the right was holding a satellite model with her skirt fluttering. Nono also said that the reason she remembered it so clearly was because the boy's face model was obviously made according to Lu Mingfei, and the girl's prototype was Su Xiaoqiang.

Lu Mingfei was really relieved when he walked into the school and didn't see such disillusionment, such distortion and inexplicably joyful things.

But even if Shilan Middle School really wants to put up two white marble sculptures at the gate, Lu Mingfei may not be ranked. Didn't you see that in the last term, a pervert named Chu Zihang defeated all the heroes and topped the list of "The Beasts Should Be Killed". Looking ahead, there are more powerful people like the sun, such as that person who is now the president of a certain university, and that person who was just nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in the second half of last year. With these seniors, no matter how amazing Lu Mingfei's performance is, the principal doesn't have the courage to use this kid's face as his own facade.

Oh, today is the new year, and the Tokyo incident happened last year.

After getting off the car, the two walked side by side. Lu Mingfei replaced the cigarette in his mouth with light blue maltose. In the distance, on the rubber track and the green playground, there were already physical training students wearing single sleeves in the middle of winter starting morning exercises. The teaching building behind them came with some childish morning reading sounds.

Many teachers and students passing by cast curious eyes on them, not understanding why such cool boys and girls would appear in a school that sounds like a lifeless place. At least in China, middle school is synonymous with lifelessness.

Ling wore high-heeled boots. Although she was a little short, she looked extremely slender and could easily keep up with Lu Mingfei's pace.

She was meticulous in everything she did, from practical to theoretical, from dancing to making desserts, and even her walking was so standard. Lu Mingfei still remembered her classic ballet moves, raising her arms and legs, and stopping, with a straight figure and a tight belly. In fact, she was also a graceful girl, amazing from any aspect.

"They don't seem to know you." Ling paused, "But I saw that you wanted to say hello to those teachers several times."

"Because our worlds are too far apart, so far that I am only a vague shadow in their memories. No one will recognize that someone is a passerby who passed by them on the street just because of a shadow." Lu Mingfei didn't care.

It's better if no one knows him. Although the city is safe under the protection of EVA, it won't be so forever.

The more people recognize Lu Mingfei, the greater the risk of their exposure. But until now, there are still many mysteries about Chu Tianjiao that have not been solved.

They haven't found the box yet.

When Lu Mingfei walked to the school gate, he saw those hooligans wearing leather jackets and silver chains on their pants. Maybe Lu Mingfei and Ling didn't look like high school students, so the boys avoided them intentionally or unintentionally.

"Look, that's our Corleone." Lu Mingfei pointed to the corner where the boys were hiding and smiled at Ling.

"The Gattuso family also started as the mafia in Sicily. In a sense, maybe a few hundred years later, someone in your Corleone will carry forward his surname and become a powerful person like Gattuso." Ling said.

The plane trees on both sides of the road in front of the school had long lost their leaves. At this time, several black crows were perched on the treetops, tilting their heads and looking down curiously, making a cackle sound in their mouths.

"Let's go and have breakfast. After breakfast, we will look for traces of Chu Tianjiao left in this city." Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands.

Ling nodded without saying anything, just hiding his head in the scarf.

"EVA helped to invade the population system to investigate his activity trajectory. How is this going?"

"It's still being sorted out. It should be completed today. After completing the work here, she will return to the United States." Lu Mingfei replied.

"Why are you so obsessed with investigating Chu Tianjiao? It's clear that we only need to find the box taken away by Odin. If there is no blood of the Black King in the box, we will think of other ways and don't have to waste time in this city." Ling showed a trace of curiosity. She held her two slender white hands together and stretched them to her lips to breathe. After a moment, her white skin color became more rosy.

Lu Mingfei noticed that the princess was not dressed that warmly. In this weather, she was even a little thin.

He reached out and rubbed Ling's hair, then put his right hand around the girl's slender waist and held her in his arms.

Ling's body stiffened slightly, "This is better. If you are still cold, you can put your hands in my pockets. It's warm inside." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

He is a typical optimist. Today he is still worried about his final exam results. Tomorrow he can happily call Zhao Menghua and others to play StarCraft in the Internet cafe.

But Lu Mingfei thinks this is also good. Only heartless people can live happily in this world.

Just like not long ago, he was worried about what he was, but now he has completely left that feeling of loss behind.

It doesn’t matter what you are. You are a human being and this country will not give you a wife just because of that. You are a dragon. Except for those crazy people in the Camarilla, there will be no one looking for you all over the world with a knife. You have to be a dragon-slaying hero. .

But how could it be? How could you not care about who you are? You just keep everything inside.

"One day when I die, I have to know whose name should be engraved on my tombstone. Is it really going to say 'Lu Mingfei is buried here, a nice boy' that no one else is willing to stop and take a look at?" Lu Mingfei held Ling in his arms and waited for the traffic light, "Chu Tianjiao came to this city long before I was born, and he even knew my father and mother many years ago... Seriously, don't you Have you ever wondered what kind of people they are?”

"Who? Uncle and aunt?"

"Um."

"I was curious, but if you don't tell me, I won't ask." Zero said seriously.

"Ever since they sent me to my uncle and aunt's house, they have never appeared in front of me again. Before I was 16 years old, I would receive a lengthy letter from them from somewhere in the world every year. You can enter Kasai After entering Seoul Academy, I haven't gotten any information about them until now, and it's hard to find many clues even in Norma's database." Lu Mingfei looked at them, "Maybe they don't exist at all? The first half of my life was completely a made-up hallucination. Something or some force implanted those memories in my mind, and I was born in the form of a young man or something."

"It's an interesting theory. I've thought about it before." Zero nodded.

Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed.

He led the girl into the Chenghuang Temple Small Commodity Wholesale Market and found a breakfast shop next to a boxing gym called Shenxing Taibao.

It’s a very typical Chinese breakfast stall, with xiaolongbao, fried dough sticks, soy milk, milk, and even rice rolls and tea eggs.

The steamer and the chef's operating table are against the front, and four or five small tables are set up outside. There are three or four short red plastic chairs that can make people slump next to each table.

"Most of the people who come here for breakfast are students. Su Xiaoqiang used to buy Xiao Long Bao here for me." Lu Mingfei smiled, "The boss will sell rice noodles and noodles at noon. Sometimes I don't want to go back to my uncle's house for dinner. Just eat noodles here.”

"Can you eat enough?" Zero asked.

"Almost, but I felt a little embarrassed at that time. I didn't have much money and my parents were not around." Lu Mingfei shrugged, and looked at Ling with a smile on his face, "But then again, someone has asked us before. How can I look classy when eating at food stalls? Some of my brothers in the literary club said to drive a Porsche, and some said to wear a Patek Philippe watch.”

"What did you say?"

"I say the most classy way to eat is to drive a convertible Ferrari with a girl wearing a white mink in the passenger seat. When you get off, you just make skewers while the girl sits quietly and helps you peel the garlic." Lu Mingfei said, "Although you can't peel garlic for me now, I still feel very proud."

"Boss, two drawers of steamed buns, two portions of salty bone porridge, and a plate of pickled white radish!" (End of Chapter)
