Chapter 20 California Sunshine
Chapter 20 California Sunshine
"California sunshine?"
Lu Mingfei blinked. This was clearly a high-end residential area, but for some reason, he felt like he had seen the name somewhere before, even though he had never been here before. Even though his memory had been enhanced as a seeker of the Dharma, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"That's right, this is the place I found for you."
As Chu Zihang drove, he looked at the map of the villa area. "This place is far from the Peacock Mansion where I live, so my family has never lived here since we bought it. The decoration and facilities are all in good condition, and you can move in as soon as you bring your bags."
Chu Zihang spoke like an intelligent robot. Lu Mingfei looked around and then at Chu Zihang. At this moment, in his eyes, the other party was no different from that blue fat cat who was taking things out of his pocket.
The same meticulous details, the same... How was it again? Lu Mingfei thought of that adjective: matriarchal!
Chu Zihang is acting like an old woman now!
Lu Mingfei dared not imagine what kind of bloodshed would ensue if the people from Shilan Middle School found out about all this.
You must know that the great Chu in front of you is a superman who holds a place in the hearts of even the most romantic girls. If he hadn't always kept himself pure and remained untouched by the allure of women, the entire Shilan might have become his love garden.
In my dreams... no, I wouldn't even dare to do something like this in a dating game.
But that's Chu Zihang's charm. If people knew that Lu Mingfei was being treated like this by him, he would not only become the enemy of all the girls in the school, but he might also be arrested and interrogated one day.
As Lu Mingfei continued to daydream, he watched the car drive deeper into the villa area until it stopped in front of a three-story building.
"Is this the place?"
It was 5 p.m., just as the sun was setting.
The once scorching sunlight was no longer blinding, falling on the dark gray eaves and giving a sense of tranquility. The wind chimes in front of the gate swayed slightly, bringing Lu Mingfei the scent of earth and grass. A figure stood tall and straight in front of the gate, clearly having been waiting for a long time.
Once the two got out of the car, the figure naturally reached out and took the keys from Chu Zihang's hand.
A smooth handover.
"Uncle Chen." Chu Zihang nodded to the middle-aged man.
"Young Master, the master bedroom and guest room have been cleaned up, and the vegetables and fruits have been prepared and put into the refrigerator. As you instructed, all the necessary living supplies have also been prepared."
"Thank you for your help, Uncle Chen."
Chu Zihang thanked him, his face still expressionless, and turned to Lu Mingfei to introduce him: "This is my friend. He will be staying here for the time being. Please take care of him if he needs anything."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man, referred to as Uncle Chen, calmly glanced at Lu Mingfei beside him and said in an unusual tone, "I really didn't expect that the young master would bring someone his own age back. I hope the guest has a good time. If there is anything, you can make an order through the landline in the villa."
"Uh...excuse me, Uncle Chen?"
Lu Mingfei didn't know what tone to use to start the conversation, so he just gave an awkward smile.
"No, it's me who's troubling you. I'm sorry to trouble you with taking care of the young master."
The other party not only ignored his behavior, but also left behind this ambiguous sentence, put the key into Lu Mingfei's palm, and then got into the car, leaving the space to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.
"What do you mean by that? It looks like he's your bodyguard?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly, watching the car drive away.
"He's been taking care of my family since I was little, acting as my mother's bodyguard." Chu Zihang didn't seem to be affected, clearly having gotten used to it.
"Auntie."
Upon hearing Chu Zihang's mention, a figure resembling a young girl flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.
Well, Lu Mingfei then remembered that the family of this great Chu was rumored to be quite extraordinary at school. After all, his mother would always be present at parent-teacher conferences. It seemed that Chu's mother and father had already separated by then, but whenever Chu's mother appeared, she would attract the attention of the entire school.
There's no other reason than that even though Shilan Middle School is a prestigious school with countless wealthy parents, it's rare to find a parent with such a fresh, pure, and stunningly beautiful appearance, since she looks like a girl in her early twenties.
Fortunately, the other party was already famous in Shilan Middle School, and almost everyone in Shilan Middle School knew her identity. Otherwise, based on Lu Mingfei's understanding of those students who were bursting with youthful energy, the love letters alone could probably form a mountain.
Even so, her appearance attracted the attention of countless boys.
Even Lu Mingfei had stolen glances at her more than once. When she was with Chu Zihang, he wasn't particularly interested, but watching the two of them interact, he felt that at least... he quite liked his mother this way...
Young and beautiful, without worries, and most importantly, able to attend parent-teacher meetings.
Yes, it's a parent-teacher conference!
Lu Mingfei was startled to realize that this was perhaps what he envied. He missed his mother, but now he couldn't even remember her face clearly, and his memory had become blurred.
His original plan was to ask for help when he met the bastard immortal, and find a way to recover his hazy memories.
He had thought he could hold on like this, until the flames regained their energy and his time-traveling ability restarted, until he saw the Turtle Immortal Lord, until...
Well, he was actually at his breaking point and would have been fine if he hadn't wanted to get up, but he just had to!
He needs to find a solution right now, immediately!
Find the information, or find someone who has information!
"Senior, tell me about Kassel College, what do you think? A mixed-race organization has become an academy; they must have considerable backing, right?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"I'd be happy to answer your question." Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Mingfei, his gaze lingering behind him for a moment, "But clearly now is not the time; someone's coming."
"Person? Who?"
Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw a familiar black Mercedes-Benz parked quietly behind him, with the back window already open.
He turned around and met the eyes of the girl in the back seat who was sticking her head out like a turtle, and they both froze.
As if the scene from that morning were repeating itself, the two exclaimed in surprise.
"Lu Mingfei?"
"Su Xiaoqiang?"
"And me!"
A head popped out from behind Su Xiaoqiang, revealing a face that Lu Mingfei recognized—it was the artsy girl sitting a few rows behind him.
Liu Miaomiao!
Lu Mingfei knew why Chu Zihang couldn't talk about Kassel College anymore; with these two watching him from behind the car, it would be a miracle if he could say anything.
He finally understood why the name of the California Sunshine villa district sounded familiar to him.
Because this is Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao's home!
The two beautiful women from Shilan lived in this villa area. Lu Mingfei remembered where he had seen those four words before.
That was the two-person residence he had seen on the tutoring contract!
Compared to Lu Mingfei's reaction, the two women were even more shocked.
Lu Mingfei!
This notorious loser from the entire school has actually appeared before them! And he's even with Chu Zihang, the legend of Shilan High School, the dream lover of countless girls, practically a god!
Stand together!
