Chapter 12 Heroes Drink and Reminisce About the Past, Xiaoqiang's Gathering Leads to Mingfei
In the place where Lu Mingfei used to be, alcohol was the most supreme substance.
It also has the function of temporarily relaxing the control of fate and enhancing combat power. As the saying goes, drinking alcohol increases the damage by one.
Even if Guan Yu was saying that he would surrender to the Han Dynasty but not to Cao Cao, as soon as he heard that there was wine to drink, he would immediately say, "I am thirsty."
For these burly men, alcohol still played an incredible role.
Finally finding the flavor he used to love, Lu Mingfei took the rice wine in its official packaging and drank it with a few guys from the school's engineering department.
The guys were so drunk that they told Lu Mingfei everything they could, except for things they shouldn't have said.
Basically, it's about the academic system and credits, the food in the cafeteria, their work in the school's student affairs department, and how his alumnus, Chu Zihang, is truly at the height of his career in Kassel.
"Hey! I'll have to rely on you guys a lot when I get to Kassel!"
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei poured a glass of wine for the burly man in the lead. The man, who was 1.9 meters tall, immediately burst into laughter and slapped his chest muscles, which were about the size of the pillow that Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingfei had slept on the night before, making a loud thumping sound.
"You've already called me 'brother,' what else is there to say! Just come to Kassel and that's it! Don't worry, with us looking after you, I guarantee you'll have a smooth ride in Kassel! Don't you agree?"
Then the remaining four burly men raised their glasses together and said yes, making Lu Mingfei feel as if he had been transported back to the Three Kingdoms period.
At that time, he was drinking with Cao Cao's generals, sometimes talking about achieving great things, sometimes about retiring from the army and returning to his hometown.
Xu Chu challenged him to an arm wrestling match, and Yu Jin immediately offered to be the referee, but in the end he still won, clapping his hands and saying, "Next one, let's go!"
After finally debating whether he was invincible in Cao Cao's camp, he laughed and said that even Guan Yu was no match for him, and none of you could defeat him.
But no one got angry or upset. Everyone just laughed and said, "Mingfei, you're truly invincible. You'll have to go on the battlefield more often in the future."
Immediately afterwards, Boss Cao suddenly appeared, showered him with praise, tied his shoelaces, and said, "Fei, having you is better than having an army of 100,000!"
Then he watched as these generals died one by one: Li Dian, Yue Jin, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin. Gradually, he could no longer hear their voices and could no longer drink with them.
Ultimately, his life consisted of nothing more than rushing from one battlefield to the next, and drinking was merely a way to numb himself.
He can no longer get drunk, and he's unbeatable at drinking, but he no longer has the days when everyone praised him so enthusiastically.
Just as he was about to unleash his drinking prowess and get his buddies drunk under the table, his phone rang, pulling him back from his reverie.
It was Su Xiaoqiang; she sent a message to Lu Mingfei.
"Are you really not coming?"
"I already said I wasn't coming, so I'm not coming."
"Could you come here for a moment?"
"Why is it that the thought of watching Zhao Menghua confess his feelings to Chen Wenwen causes you unbearable pain, and you have to call me over to relieve the pressure so you can feel better?"
After sending the message, Lu Mingfei also sent a smirking emoji, knowing he would soon hear the young lady stubbornly denying it.
Then he can say some silly things to ease the other person's mood, and then he can continue drinking—
"Yes, can you come over? Just for the sake of your public image."
Lu Mingfei was stunned; he never dreamed that Su Xiaoqiang would send him such a message.
He searched through his memories, but could only recall that Su Xiaoqiang was someone who single-handedly stormed into the literary society and announced to all the girls that she had come specifically for Zhao Menghua.
Regardless of her taste, Su Xiaoqiang is a proud and confident girl, a girl with an imposing and fierce aura, like a pure white swan that will never bow her head.
You never see her bow her head, because as long as she has a breath left, she is invincible.
And this girl, at this moment, sent him a message, her words almost pleading, not like someone invincible, but more like...
An eighteen-year-old boy whose spirit was broken by the chaos of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Perhaps a young girl's heartbreak is similar to a young boy's heartbreak; when people are vulnerable, they want to grasp onto something.
Even if it's just a random nobody who's been unlucky for three years, she'll want to seize the opportunity if it seems even remotely possible.
So what else is there to say? Lu Mingfei called out to his buddies, and the five burly men immediately patted their chests in unison, saying that they were all brothers and there was nothing more to say. They would support him.
So everyone got on the elevator together, and the burly man in the lead was seriously holding his phone, seemingly making a call to someone.
When the group of us got downstairs, Lu Mingfei asked where our car was. The leader said, "Don't drink and drive. Don't drive after drinking. Let's take a taxi."
Then the five of them took two taxis, and with the driver's amazing driving skills of trembling while simultaneously flooring the accelerator, they finally arrived at the agreed-upon location—the privately booked movie theater.
The security guard in the cinema wondered if he should go up and ask them something, but when he looked at these five men, he suddenly felt that calling the police would be more appropriate; they looked like terrorists.
However, these guys are indeed terrorists; they're going to blow up someone else's love boat.
Wearing the battle robes Su Xiaoqiang had prepared for him, Lu Mingfei reached out to send a message before remembering to ask which screening room they had watched the movie in.
Su Xiaoqiang stared anxiously at her phone, feeling that her series of actions made no sense.
Knowing full well that Zhao Menghua was going to confess his feelings to Chen Wenwen, why did she come to this place? Well, she just had that last glimmer of hope in her heart, even if she herself didn't believe it.
That image lingered in her mind, leading her here as if by magic, hoping Zhao Menghua would prove that Lu Mingfei was lying.
But Zhao Menghua went backstage and made some preparations. Chen Wenwen, dressed in her finest attire, sat in the center position that had been prepared in advance, along with several of Zhao Menghua's henchmen who were absent.
What else could it mean? Are they going to put on a Broadway show before the movie starts? Who would believe that?
The group had already taken their place in front of the screen. Zhao Menghua's henchmen formed an "iLoveYou" sign, waiting for the main character to appear and perform the operation that everyone had already guessed.
Su Xiaoqiang felt her face burning. She suddenly regretted inviting Lu Mingfei, fearing that he might inadvertently walk in and disrupt everyone's plans.
Then, amidst the boos of the crowd, they sat down next to her. The Little Fairy and the Loser officially changed their names to the Joker and Harley Quinn, and in the end, they could only flee from there.
What else could they do? Did they really expect Lu Mingfei to be some kind of dragon king returning? Suddenly a few bodyguards or something appeared, acting all high and mighty, and led her away from this awkward situation?
Forget it, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly didn't care much about Zhao Menghua anymore; she just didn't want Lu Mingfei to come.
She texted Lu Mingfei saying he didn't need to come and then put her phone away.
She's the only one who's embarrassed herself. This inspirational guy who hired a lawyer to fight back against his family's exploitation is about to leave this sad place; there's no need for him to get involved.
On her phone screen, which was facing down, a notification appeared that Lu Mingfei had sent a message.
"I've arrived."
