"I'm going to get the car. You guys wait for me at the west gate!" Mr. Liu turned and left.
Lu Mingfei followed behind Liu's mother and Liu Miaomiao, walking silently at the back.
He asked himself, "System, why are Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu so good to me?"
Sometimes, it's better not to know.
If you really want to know, I can tell you!
As Lu Mingfei listened to the system's response, his gaze swept over Liu Ma and Liu Miaomiao in front of him.
He hesitated!
So what if you know?
Whether this kindness is genuine or the result of system manipulation, he is powerless to change anything now.
Don't think of me as such a bad person; I'm not some kind of demon!
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Lu Mingfei thought to himself.
【Nonsense! I know perfectly well what you're fantasizing about with Chen Wenwen, I just can't be bothered to call you out on it!】
Lu Mingfei's cheeks flushed instantly, followed by the fear of being electrocuted again.
After all, I got electrocuted when I was thinking about Chen Wenwen before.
I've already told you I'm not a demon, why would I randomly shock you?
"Hard to say!" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.
[Lu Mingfei, there are some things I need to make clear to you!]
If Chen Wenwen can be a source of motivation for your growth, I don't care about anything else!
But if you're just daydreaming all day, I have plenty of ways to get you!
The system's voice turned cold, startling Lu Mingfei.
"I understand!"
……
When Lu Mingfei and his two companions arrived at the west gate of Wanda Plaza, Liu's father was already waiting at the entrance in his BMW.
Liu's mother moved extremely quickly, opening the passenger door and getting in with lightning speed.
Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao had no choice but to sit together in the spacious back seat.
"Old Liu, go to Rose Garden and have Mingfei pack his personal belongings and head straight to California Sunshine!" Liu's mother's gentle voice rang out in the car.
"That's exactly what I was planning!" said Liu's father. "Mingfei, what are your plans?"
“I have no objection, I’ll listen to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu!” Lu Mingfei replied immediately.
Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Mingfei beside her.
This classmate, whom she had always labeled as "unlucky and cowardly," has now transformed into a mysterious young man who has been personally invited by a world-class pianist to participate in an international competition.
A surge of impulse welled up within her, and she wanted to immediately analyze this unbelievable matter with her close girlfriends.
But then she thought about it again, and realized that she was probably the only one in the whole school who knew about Lu Mingfei’s “unknown” amazing side. A subtle sense of possessiveness arose in her, which made her secretly happy.
In the end, Liu Miaomiao suppressed her idea of sharing.
No.
She couldn't let others know that Lu Mingfei had this other side to him.
If the girls at school knew that Lu Mingfei was actually this amazing...
Love letters will probably arrive like dandelion seeds, won't they?
Thinking of this, Liu Miaomiao began to examine Lu Mingfei's profile more closely—
With delicate features and a straight nose... upon closer inspection, he's actually quite handsome.
She's just a bit thin.
If he could build up his physique to be more solid and powerful...
Liu Miaomiao felt her cheeks burning and quickly looked away, glancing out the window.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei was completely unaware of the turmoil in the mind of the girl beside him.
He had only one thought in his mind: to become a qualified villain as soon as possible and escape the clutches of the system.
Lu Mingfei didn't notice that a black Mercedes-Benz E500 was silently following about thirty meters behind the black BMW.
"This is really bad! This little white rabbit's story today is too outrageous!"
A girl with long brown hair sat in the passenger seat of the Mercedes, holding binoculars in one hand and observing Lu Mingfei in the BMW ahead.
Meanwhile, his other hand kept taking potato chips from a bag of chips and putting them into his mouth, making a "crunch" sound.
The driver was a stunningly beautiful young woman with long, flowing black hair.
What's most eye-catching are those legs; even though half of them are submerged under the driver's seat, their long length is still impossible to ignore.
"Long-legged girl, what exactly happened to that little white rabbit?" Chip Girl put down her binoculars, chewing on potato chips, and turned to look at the young woman next to her who seemed to have legs that stretched out from the neck down.
"I don't know either, that's why we've been following him all day." The long-legged girl frowned.
"You tell me," the potato chip girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "did he awaken his bloodline a long time ago?"
"The boss said he only awakened last night!" The long-legged girl frowned. "And this kid is too strange!"
"First, I inexplicably got in touch with wealthy families and received their help."
"Then he displayed breathtaking piano skills, and finally, in the toilet stall, he was electrocuted out of thin air!"
"No matter how you look at it, this kid is definitely up to something!"
"Mmm! That's what I think too!" Chip Girl nodded in agreement, chewing on a potato chip.
"Potato Chip Girl, has he practiced piano in the past few years?" the long-legged girl asked.
The potato chip girl put a potato chip in her mouth. "I've been keeping an eye on him all these years. He's never learned the piano. I'm pretty sure of it!"
“When he got out of school, he would go to an internet cafe if he had money, and when he didn’t have money, he would climb to the roof of his aunt’s house to look at the city in the distance.”
Even at the school's Spring Festival Gala, he would just hide in a corner and watch the girl named Liu Miaomiao perform.
"As expected of an S-rank, their casual moves are already beyond our imagination!" the long-legged girl exclaimed helplessly.
“Yeah! An awakened S-rank, doing all these unbelievable things, I don’t think we can handle him!” Chip Girl chimed in.
"Go contact the girl with no connections and no job, and ask her to come to China!" the long-legged girl suggested.
"This 'three-no girl' is the boss's valuable assistant, and she's just being sent into the mouth of an S-class guy like this..." Potato Chip Girl was a little worried.
The two beauties exchanged glances. If this clueless girl were to be devoured by this little white rabbit, then the boss...
Let's observe for a while longer.

"Boss, that's the situation." The young girl's voice came through the phone, accompanied by a "click" sound.
"...Understood, continue to observe." The boy's voice was so calm that it revealed no emotion.
Click! Beep! Beep!
The busy tone signaling the end of the call rang out, and the phone that had just been in the boy's palm vanished silently, turning into firefly-like specks of light that disappeared into the night sky.
He stood alone atop the towering mountain, the silhouettes of the sleeping mountains below him, and above him, a huge full moon almost filled half of the black sky.
The bright, almost blinding moonlight poured down, casting his shadow long and solitary.
He looked up at the full moon in the night sky, stretched out his palm, and the full moon seemed within reach.
"Tsk! Troublesome..." The boy frowned, his delicate brows furrowing. "Looks like I'll have to send that self-proclaimed god-like reptile to scout ahead!"
The main campus of Kassel College in Illinois, USA, is located eleven time zones away from Lu Mingfei's city.
The principal's office exudes a warm and relaxed British style.
An old man sat on the sofa, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
He looked very, very old, yet he exuded the aura of a ferocious beast.
Anyone who gets close to him will instinctively feel a tightness in their throat, as if they will be torn apart by those invisible fangs in the next instant.
hum-
A barely perceptible ripple appeared in the air.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp, knife-like gaze fixed on the young man who had suddenly appeared before him.
The young man, dressed in a white suit, stood straight in front of the old man.
"What a rare guest! What brings you here?" The old man stood up gracefully, his imposing aura spreading out as if the young man opposite him were the old man.
“He has awakened! Just last night!” the young man said in a deep voice.
The old man frowned instantly, narrowing his eyes. "Didn't you say he wouldn't awaken now?"
"Something unexpected happened!" the young man readily admitted, his expression more of a condescending statement than an apology.
He ignored the ferocious old man, walked straight past the expensive mahogany desk, and sat down with complete ease in the armchair belonging to the highest authority of Kassel College.
"You've come all this way for more than just to tell me this, haven't you?" The old man walked to the desk, leaned down slightly, and looked down at the young man who seemed so approachable.
"I want you to immediately order Chu Zihang to make contact with him!" The young man lay back in his office chair, raising his eyes to meet the old man's downcast gaze.
"This is impossible!" The old man slammed his hands on the table, causing the paper, pens, and laptop on the table to tremble slightly from the force.
The young man's aura changed; he stood up, like a peerless divine weapon drawn from its sheath.
Their gazes sparked an invisible flame in the air.
“I’ve already told you what to do! If he slips out of our control,” the young man said coldly, “you should know very well what the consequences will be!”
"Are you threatening me?" The old man's voice was like a beast's growl, filled with offended anger.
The young man didn't respond to him, and continued talking to himself:
