Dragon Raja; Chapter 85: Stars and Flowers (11)

Dragon Raja

Her tone was indifferent, as if she were talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

Lu Mingfei felt a slight stirring in his heart and suddenly asked, “Do you like Caesar?”

“I do. If I didn’t like him, why would I be with him? You think I’m stupid?” Nono pursed her lips.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, turning the thought around in his head several times before saying, “But sometimes it feels like… you don’t really pay attention to him, and he doesn’t seem to care much about you either.”

Nono thought for a moment. “A lot of girls in the college are chasing after Caesar. Do you know why he chose me?”

Lu Mingfei looked her up and down confidently. “Slim waist, long legs, pretty face!”

“The girl who asked you to dance today also has a slim waist, long legs, and a pretty face. Did you take the chance to ask for her phone number or anything?”

“I’m not Caesar! The type I like is…” Lu Mingfei felt his tongue tying up. It seemed like the type he liked was actually the same as Caesar’s.

“Caesar thinks he’s born to be a leader, that everything about him must be the best: the strongest abilities, the best team, the most outstanding girlfriend. Except for academic performance, which he thinks doesn’t matter. Caesar likes me because I’m one of the rare ‘A’-class hybrids in the college. He believes I’m the only one among the ‘A’ class who matches him, so he chose me.”

Lu Mingfei was a bit surprised. “Bloodline ranking works like that? So, I’m S-Rank. If I were a girl, Caesar would kick you aside and pick me?”

“With your talents and looks, if you were a girl, I’d probably lose my love,” Nono said, also looking Lu Mingfei up and down, focusing on his chest, waist, and legs.

“Hey! Your gaze is so sleazy…” Lu Mingfei pulled his suit tighter against the cold wind.

“But Caesar suits me best. A guy thinks I’m great, so he likes me, and I also think I’m great enough to deserve his affection. I think he’s pretty good too, and he doesn’t make me uncomfortable, so isn’t that fine?” Nono said nonchalantly.

“Does not making you uncomfortable… really suffice?” Lu Mingfei couldn’t quite understand.

“Well, my requirements are not high, but they can also be said to be very high. I feel uncomfortable with many people. Have you ever felt that eating with some people is like having a lizard sitting across the table from you? It’s that disgusting feeling that makes you unable to even eat.”

Lu Mingfei thought to himself that you are all lizard hybrids. When we have dinner together, there are a group of lizards surrounding the table, and I am the only little white rabbit among them…

He shook his head. “Never. When I eat, I only look at what’s on the table. Even if there’s a slug sitting opposite me, I’ll still eat it… Oh, but I hope it doesn’t crawl onto the plate and get eaten by mistake… Come to think of it, we’ve had dinner together before. I remember you ate quite a lot that time…”

“I didn’t say I would feel uncomfortable staying with you…it’s just…” Nono looked up at the sky, as if pondering over his words.

“What is it?” Lu Mingfei’s heart was “up and down”; amazing.

“Junior brother, you are so easy to laugh… I feel like grabbing you and bullying you,” Nono stuck out her tongue, “If I had a boyfriend like you, I would definitely laugh and bully you from morning till night.”

“Hey! Hey! You’re here again…”

This sensitive topic was resolved by Nono’s laughter. Lu Mingfei didn’t know whether Nono had seen through his little thoughts.

“Do you think I’m unreasonable?” Nono raised her beautiful eyebrows. “Caesar has clearly said, ‘You are the only girl worthy of me, and the best decoration for cool guys like us is the best girl.’ But I don’t mind being a decoration at all.”

“That’s none of my business.” Lu Mingfei averted his eyes.

“I don’t mind because it’s simple. If I’m not good enough, I don’t have to force myself to stay with Caesar. It works both ways; we match well.”

“Match well?” Lu Mingfei found the term a little jarring—like “well-suited by family status.”

But family status was indeed important, wasn’t it? In ancient China, if a noble lady fell in love with a poor scholar, it would only happen in a story written by another poor scholar.

“Because I don’t really understand what it means to like someone, I just find someone who matches me,” Nono said, kicking at the cold water, the sparkling droplets bouncing off her toes. “I used to read romance novels and never understood why the heroines cried their hearts out, asking things like, ‘Do you love me or not? Have you changed?’ Actually, these things are really simple. If someone likes you, they’ll naturally come and hug you and tell you. If they don’t like you, no amount of crying will change it, right?”

“Then why did you teach me how to chase after Chen Wenwen? According to what you said, there’s no need to pursue a girl at all. If she likes me, she’ll tell me, and if she doesn’t, pursuing her is useless.” Lu Mingfei felt like Nono was spouting nonsense.

“Chen Wenwen’s different,” Nono shrugged. “I think like this because I’m strange.”

“What’s so strange about you?”

“Caesar knows; those who aren’t familiar with me don’t.” Nono stretched lazily. “Caesar’s greatest asset is his confidence. Even though he knows I’m strange, he’s so confident he believes he can handle it. Things like, ‘Who else but me could seal such a female demon?’ or ‘For world peace, everyone step back while I take on this witch!’”

“Tsk,” Lu Mingfei snorted, puffing out his chest. “If the witch has a slim waist and long legs, we’re all heroes here—who would fall behind?”

Nono was stunned, looking him up and down. “Are you referring to yourself? Dude, bring it on, but don’t cry if you get blown away.”

“A gentleman’s word is his bond!” Lu Mingfei suddenly shouted. Some idiotic nerve twitched, and the words jumped out of his mouth without passing through his brain. His voice was strong, full of confidence.

Nono was startled, but followed his lead, “It’s hard to catch up with him!”

4. Word Spirit Commandments

The shadows pressed close to the wall, hiding in the narrow gap between the Hall of Valor and the Rhine Hall, listening to the hurried footsteps passing by outside.

The Hall of Valor and Rhine Hall were twin buildings, with only a gap less than twenty centimeters wide between them—normally too narrow for an adult to fit. But now, a full dozen people were wedged inside, each of them highly trained, compressing their ribcages to make themselves slimmer to fit into this narrow space. This was why they had not yet been discovered. The beams of flashlights kept sweeping past from outside, but none ever shone into this dead end.

“Captain, the defenses are tight. If we hadn’t focused so much on the entrance and had just sneaked in… it would’ve been much easier, right?” one shadow whispered to the slender figure in front.

“Shut up! This is a tactic!” the captain hissed in response.

He couldn’t admit in front of his subordinates that he also had some regrets. Who would have guessed that this college, so calm on the surface, would have such strict defenses once it entered an emergency situation?

“Number 13 is lost,” someone behind him said again.

“This is also part of the tactics!” The captain was annoyed.

“Mai, I’ve never seen you in such a mess.” A cold voice came from the back of the team.
