"The way you looked at him during morning self-study..." Liu Miaomiao bit her lower lip, "It was like you wanted to devour him whole!"
Su Xiaoqiang suddenly burst out laughing.
Liu Miaomiao's questioning precisely proves that she hasn't yet discovered Lu Mingfei's true abnormality.
But Su Xiaoqiang didn't intend to point it out—her "interest" in Lu Mingfei was less like a young girl's infatuation and more like a scientist's curiosity about discovering a new species.
Lu Mingfei paused almost imperceptibly.
He knew Su Xiaoqiang too well; that look in his eyes was definitely not one of liking, but rather the curiosity one feels when discovering an interesting toy.
So he adjusted his expression and walked past the two girls as if nothing had happened, as if he were just a passerby who happened to be passing by.
Su Xiaoqiang noticed the slight change in Lu Mingfei's expression.
She ignored Liu Miaomiao and followed Lu Mingfei with a curious gaze.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiang's actions, Liu Miaomiao immediately followed.
The two of them were like Lu Mingfei's little shadows, following him wherever he went.
Lu Mingfei could clearly feel two completely different gazes behind him.
He sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything.
Bringing them into the world of mixed races will definitely not do any good.
He was thinking of meeting Chu Zihang after school that afternoon.
Learn about the world of mixed-race people and Kassel College.
Since he would have to contend with Kassel College sooner or later, he had to know both himself and his enemy in order to win every battle.
Lu Mingfei prayed silently in his heart:
"Senior Brother Chu, I hope we won't become enemies. If I could, I really wouldn't want to kill a fellow student with my own hands."
Chapter 48 A Gundam Descends from the Sky, A Dimensional Reduction Attack
When Lu Mingfei led Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao into the classroom, the noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
Lu Mingfei's deskmate looked at Lu Mingfei with an incredulous expression.
He never imagined that in just three days, Lu Mingfei would become the class emperor.
After Lu Mingfei sat down, he quietly nudged Lu Mingfei with his elbow, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice:
"Old Lu, between Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang, which one do you like better?"
Liu Miaomiao, sitting in the front row, visibly stiffened and unconsciously leaned back, her ears perking up.
Lu Mingfei glanced at him, his face calm:
Why do you have to choose one? Can't you like both?
"Holy crap!" His deskmate gasped, and after a long pause, he gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up: "Wow, Lu, you're awesome!"
Liu Miaomiao's face flushed red to her ears, and she quietly moved forward before collapsing onto the desk, burying her burning cheeks in her arms.
The classroom door was suddenly pushed open, and the homeroom teacher strode in, carrying his lesson plan book.
His sharp gaze swept across the classroom and immediately locked onto Lu Mingfei and his deskmate, who were whispering to each other.
The homeroom teacher frowned, and her sharp gaze startled the student sitting down, who quickly straightened his back and sat up straight.
"Strange..." the homeroom teacher muttered to himself, the classroom was unusually quiet today.
At this time of day, the classroom would usually be noisy and chaotic.
His gaze lingered on Lu Mingfei for a few more seconds, and he finally attributed this unusual behavior to "these two being the most mischievous."
"Ahem..." The homeroom teacher cleared his throat and placed his lesson plan on the podium. "I have something to tell you all. We have a transfer student in our class."
He turned to the doorway. "Zero, please come in."
The classroom door slowly opened, and a slender, petite figure walked in with elegant steps.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her platinum hair and reflecting a cool, icy glow.
She was wearing an ordinary Shilan school uniform, yet she exuded an extraordinary aura as if she were wearing a haute couture gown.
If the classroom was quiet before because of Lu Mingfei's intimidation, then the silence of the whole class at this moment was completely due to being overwhelmed by the girl's aura and beauty.
Compared to her, the three most beautiful girls in Shilan Middle School paled in comparison, and the boys stared at her with wide eyes.
She's practically a female version of Chu Zihang.
The girl picked up the chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard—"Zero".
As she turned around, her gaze locked onto Lu Mingfei, who was sitting by the window.
“My name is Zero, and I’m from Russia.” Her voice was calm and devoid of any emotion. “Nice to meet you.”
A name flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind: Rei Ayanami.
This girl's temperament and demeanor are just like Rei Ayanami straight out of "EVA".
What made him even more uneasy was that Zero's gaze remained fixed on him.
He tried to move left and right, but found that no matter how he dodged, those icy blue eyes were always following him.
"Lu Mingfei!" the homeroom teacher roared, "Are you out of your mind? What are you doing fidgeting like that!"
Lu Mingfei, who was singled out for criticism, quickly sat up straight.
The homeroom teacher nodded in satisfaction: "Ling, your seat will be arranged in..."
However, Ling completely ignored the homeroom teacher's instructions and went straight to Lu Mingfei's desk, pointing to his deskmate's seat:
"I want to sit here."
"This...this..." The homeroom teacher wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "It's already..."
A series of gasps filled the classroom.
Liu Miaomiao suddenly raised her head, Su Xiaoqiang narrowed her eyes dangerously, and Lu Mingfei's deskmate was so frightened that he slid under the table.
“I want to sit here,” Zero repeated, her tone eerily calm.
"Sit down! Sit down!" The classmate hurriedly packed her bag and scurried to Xu Yanyan's side as if her life depended on it.
Just when Lu Mingfei thought the farce was over, Zero's gaze turned to him again: "I want to sit in your seat."
Lu Mingfei: "???"
He was completely baffled—what was this girl trying to do?
First they kicked out his deskmate, and now they want to kick him out too? Do they want to take over two seats by themselves?
Left with no other choice, Lu Mingfei began packing up his textbooks, preparing to say goodbye to his "protagonist position" by the window.
Just as he got up to leave, Zero suddenly grabbed his sleeve and pointed to the seat where they had just sat together:
"You sit here."
Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded.
The gazes of the entire class made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
Sitting next to a girl who is so beautiful she doesn't seem real is like being roasted over a fire—is it a blessing or a curse?
Lu Mingfei sat down somewhat stiffly.
He thought he was calm enough, but seeing the girl in front of him still made his heart pound.
Although this girl is not as beautiful as Lu Mingfei and Xuan Ling, those two are like monsters. Lu Mingfei usually doesn't rank them, but if he were to make a list, he would...
This girl could be his second choice, or even his first.
Ling sat quietly in Lu Mingfei's original spot, her slender fingers gently smoothing out the wrinkles in her school uniform skirt.
She exuded a faint, cool fragrance, like plum blossoms blooming on a snow-capped mountain, proud and aloof.
Lu Mingfei stood stiffly, even unconsciously slowing his breathing.
He could clearly feel the various gazes cast by his classmates—Zhao Menghua's jealousy, Liu Miaomiao's grievance, Su Xiaoqiang's inquiry, and the boys' undisguised envy.
"You..." Lu Mingfei was about to speak when Ling suddenly turned around.
Those icy blue eyes were so close, so clear they reflected his slightly flustered expression.
"What's wrong with me?" Zero's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable tone.
“You…” Lu Mingfei’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the question of whether he was a mixed-race person. He stiffly scratched the back of his head and said, “You’re really good-looking!”
He instinctively sensed a familiar aura emanating from Zero—a subtle resonance that could only be perceived between mixed-race individuals.
But questioning a stranger's identity directly would be far too abrupt.
“Oh,” Zero’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, her tone calm, “You’re handsome too, I like you very much.”
Hearing this conversation, Liu Miaomiao, who was in the front row, trembled slightly on her slender shoulders and buried her face even deeper into her arms.
—She only needed to be wary of Chen Wenwen, but who would have thought that such a formidable opponent would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
This is like a Gundam falling from the sky, a dimensional attack.
Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded.
He simply couldn't understand why a girl of school beauty caliber would suddenly appear and openly say that she liked him.
There must be some reason behind this that he doesn't know.
"Ahem..." The homeroom teacher cleared his throat again, trying to restore order to the classroom. "Let's begin the lesson!"
Lu Mingfei mechanically pulled his textbook out of his schoolbag, his movements as stiff as a marionette.
Just then, Zero suddenly moved his chair closer to him.
"Thump!" Lu Mingfei was startled and the chair leg hit the ground hard, drawing the attention of the whole class.
“My textbooks haven’t been distributed yet,” Zero explained calmly. “Let’s look at them together.”
