Chapter 58: This sister, I have seen her before

Lu Mingfei's heart stirred; the girl before him reminded him of that line Jia Baoyu once said in *Dream of the Red Chamber*—

This sister, I have seen her before.

It's a pity that the noble Jia Baoyu was facing Sister Lin, while he was just an ordinary student facing a foreign friend. If he were to truly blurt this out abruptly... wouldn't he be considered a hooligan?

【Warning, electric shock countdown...】

Fortunately, because the next Schedule had begun, the warning count refreshed, sparing Lu Mingfei from the immediate risk of social death.

Startled into a shiver, Lu Mingfei continued to eat ravenously. That last big mouthful had slightly eased his hunger, but he felt his stomach was still like a bottomless pit.

While eating, he couldn't help but size up the girl in front of him.

She must be a germaphobe; the breakfast shop wasn't large, but the hygiene was excellent in Lu Mingfei's view, yet she still carried a cushion with her, and her forearms didn't touch the tabletop.

She had an iceberg-like coldness about her, and the facts seemed to bear that out. Ever since she sat down to eat, she hadn't said another word. It seemed his help was just a casual gesture, and her sitting here was just a coincidence, but...

Lu Mingfei's gaze swept across other parts of the shop.

During the winter break remedial classes at Shilan Middle School, there were no strict requirements for Morning Self-study. Official class time was 8:00 AM, and students usually arrived one after another after 7:00 AM, flooding in right at the deadline.

There were some office workers up early to buy breakfast, but they didn't have the leisure to sit and eat in the shop; they could only take it to go. So, the other tables in the shop were empty!

Under these circumstances, choosing to sit opposite him—it couldn't be that she liked the crowd, could it?

Lu Mingfei wanted to ask, but thought better of it. From last night to this morning, he had already been shocked three times in a short period. The thrill of testing the edge of danger lay in "nearly being shocked," not actually being shocked!

Behaving now (temporarily), please spare me. jpg

And so, the two of them sat face-to-face, eating breakfast in silence.

A boy and a girl: the boy's hair was messy like a bird's nest, his eating style was wolfing down food, worthy of a reincarnated starving ghost; the girl was simple and elegant, like an elf who had walked out of a painting, eating in small bites but quickly... The two were clearly creatures that shouldn't be on the same layer when compared individually, yet they were inexplicably harmonious when placed together.

It was as if there were a tacit understanding from having spent a long time together. That familiarity, even if buried deep in the recesses of memory, existed because of "instinct."

Before long.

A full ten fresh meat buns, ten preserved vegetable buns, and four siu mai were all swept away by Lu Mingfei!

For breakfast, this was an extremely exaggerated portion; even if left to some competitive eaters, they might not be able to complete the challenge.

For Lu Mingfei, theoretically, it was even more impossible. His body was definitely not tall or robust, and even if these foods were compressed, they exceeded his stomach's capacity.

Yet Lu Mingfei had done it simply and easily; he even felt a bit unsatisfied.

"Could it be because I was too hungry?"

Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand the principle. He only knew that when he arrived at the breakfast shop, after removing the "not hungry" state from 【Body Sign Micro-manipulation】, his body automatically manifested a physical sensation described as "Danger: Extreme Hunger"!

"Whatever, as long as I didn't burst from overeating. At least I know that this 【Body Sign Micro-manipulation】 must be used with caution."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

It seems the Schedule Plan still adheres to the "Law of Conservation of Matter" and the "Law of Conservation of Energy" to a certain extent.

After 【Explosive Sprint】 comes exhaustion, 【Ming Jin: First Layer】 causes muscle damage, and 【Super Speed Calculation】 and 【Force Analysis】 consume mental energy, just less obviously. And now, 【Body Sign Micro-manipulation】 causes the body to "retaliate" twofold once the regulation is lifted.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei felt a chill in his heart. It seemed he couldn't lift the "not sleepy" state until he went to bed at night, otherwise, he feared he would immediately collapse and fall asleep. But if that were the case...

"If I micro-manipulate for so long, won't I just pass out when I go to bed at night?"

【Warning, it is now time for the 【Morning Self-study】 Schedule...】

Since things have come to this, let's study first.

Lu Mingfei stood up, hesitated, and said to the girl who had finished eating long ago but seemed to be waiting out of "politeness": "Uh... goodbye?"

"Goodbye."

The girl stood up and walked out of the breakfast shop side-by-side with Lu Mingfei, only parting at the door to walk toward a Bentley Flying Spur waiting quietly by the roadside.

Such a beautiful girl, riding in a luxury car worth 4 million RMB in the domestic market, coming to an ordinary breakfast shop just to hand him a bottle of water and say "You're welcome" and "Goodbye"?

Lu Mingfei felt he definitely wasn't hallucinating; the girl couldn't have come just to eat these few buns!

Confused, he didn't dwell on it for long, and reality didn't allow him to waste time dwelling on it; the warning sound had already rung out due to his brief moment of distraction.

So he chose to put his doubts behind him and headed to school on his own.

The Bentley door opened and closed, isolating the cold and noise, but the angry voice of Jiude Mayi soon rang out inside the car.

"Look, I told you this job couldn't be given to her! In the time it took to eat breakfast, she only said two sentences, and they were 'You're welcome' and 'Goodbye.' Even strangers chatting occasionally would say more than that. If it were me, I could have had him so infatuated he wouldn't know which way was up by now!"

"I can't be bothered to talk to a big-chested, brainless woman like you. Do you think it's as simple as just getting closer? If that were the case, I could just drug him and throw him on the bed."

Su Enxi lazily killed the conversation with one sentence. She yawned, started the car, and looked at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Sanwu Niu, did you find anything?"

The girl called Sanwu Niu was quietly watching the back of Lu Mingfei as he walked into the Shilan Middle School gate. Her gaze was as calm as an ancient well, as always.

"Need to go a step further," she said.

"What?"

This time it was Su Enxi's turn to be surprised. "Hey, hey, although I said I'd let you use the beauty trap, from the current situation, it hasn't reached that point yet, and attacking a minor will get us a warning..."

"Heh, you have the nerve to call me brainless? Yours aren't that big either!"

Jiude Mayi rarely seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. "Sanwu Niu means to go a step further based on the plan you proposed earlier, and strengthen the contact!"

"If you hadn't led my train of thought astray earlier, I wouldn't have thought the wrong way!"

Su Enxi was no ordinary person; as a smart person who mastered Spirit Speech: Heaven's Deduction, she naturally could easily find various angles to refute. After hitting back with a cane, she smoothly changed the subject and returned to business.

"But we've already arranged for you to enter the school. Logically speaking, you can contact him most of the time during the day. If we want to go a step further on this basis and have it be reasonable, then there's only..."

Su Enxi realized, her eyes wide open, and her voice became a bit stuttery because of it.

"Li-li-li... living together?"
