The snow stopped, and the first ray of sunshine in winter finally broke through the cumulus clouds and fell on the earth.
In a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
This is an asset that Su Enxi bought a long time ago and has been idle.
At this time, some time had passed since the incident on the Beijing subway.
Because he had to move out of his original residence, Xia Mi moved in here.
At this moment, Fenrir was standing on the balcony, looking at the sunlight shining down, squinting slightly.
"It's so warm." He stretched out his hand to catch the sunshine, just to keep the warmth.
"Sister, the sun is out!" He turned around and looked back at the open window. Bursts of piano music were coming from the piano room.
Xia Mi was sitting in front of the piano playing, and the warm sound of the spring breeze came from under her fingers.
Her hair fell along and then was blown up by the wind.
She looked so serious and yet so relaxed.
It seemed that she had never been so relaxed and at ease for a moment.
Fenrir didn't understand music, but he could feel the lightness of music and something indescribable, like freedom.
"Sister plays so well!" Fenrir said softly while lying by the window looking at Xia Mi.
Norton and Constantine, who were lying on the roof basking in the sun, closed their eyes.
Listening to the brisk piano music in the wind, Constantine opened his eyes, tilted his head and looked at Norton, "Brother, she must have been very tired before, right?"
Norton did not open his eyes, "Everyone of us is very tired, but no matter how tired we are, we must persist in living and never abandon or give up."
Constantine looked at the sun in the sky, "Can we be like this in the future? We don't have to be as tired as before, right?"
Along the way with his brother, Constantine had been disappointed and confused countless times.
He also knew how much his brother had endured and worried about.
Therefore, he once wanted to let his brother eat him, so that his brother would not be so tired and he would not be so confused.
"Life is like this. It will develop in a good direction. The road is walked step by step. We just keep walking like this. Isn't it good now at least?" Norton said.
"What kind of person is he? He is different from others." The shadow of Lu Mingfei appeared in Constantine's mind, and his grin appeared, and he asked softly.
Having lived for such a long time, I have also experienced different eras.
But Constantine had never met anyone like Lu Mingfei.
That man really seemed like a devil sometimes. He still remembered Lu Mingfei's fierce appearance.
That desperate look, that risk-taking behavior, is really more decisive than the Dragon Kings like them who live in darkness all year round.
But, after getting along for a long time, Constantine felt something different again.
Because the man named Lu Mingfei would really fight for his friends, even if his friend was the Dragon King, he would do that.
From his elder brother to Xia Mi, he has always done that.
He really cherishes it.
But why?
"He?" Norton couldn't help but smile as he thought about how he got to know Lu Mingfei, "Maybe he's a loser, right?"
"Ah?" Constantine was obviously stunned, "Brother, are you sure that waste material is used to describe Lu Mingfei?"
"Yeah." Norton responded softly, "In his heart, he actually wants to be a useless person, but he has to stand up."
"I think he must have his reasons, and that reason forced him to be strong."
"If possible, I would also like to be a carefree waste." Norton said in a leisurely tone.
"Brother, tell me about you." Constantine said.
Norton was born one step ahead of him and ran out of the Bronze City on his own.
When Norton heard this, memories came flooding back.
He walked out of the Bronze City in a daze, and walked alone for a long time in a daze. He walked through the desert, went to the seaside, met all kinds of people, and finally wandered in the United States.
These memories are so profound.
"Okay." Norton said softly.
...
...
Beijing, urban area, vegetable market.
Lu Mingfei lowered his head and sent a message to Chu Zihang, "Senior brother, are you still in the capital? Let's celebrate the New Year together."
Soon, Chu Zihang replied to the news, "Why are you still in the capital? Isn't the matter in the capital over? Aren't you going back to Binhai for the New Year? I want to stay with my mother."
"My mother will be worried if she can't see me during the Chinese New Year."
"That's it. Then say hello to Auntie for me."
"Thank you." Chu Zihang's reply is always simple.
Lu Mingfei put away his cell phone, raised his head, and bumped into Ella.
Ella didn't know when she stopped.
She looked back at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei was shocked, wondering if he would be beaten?
But Ella didn't seem angry. She just pointed to the fish pond on the side and said, "Do you want to buy this too?"
Because she saw many people picking.
"Buy it, it's a must-have for the Chinese New Year!" Lu Mingfei said.
Ella nodded, carefully selected a big and fat yellow croaker, and said, "Boss, I want this."
"Hey, okay, girl, wait a minute."
"Girl, are you going out to buy New Year's goods with your boyfriend? I also have New Year's goods here, do you want to take a look?" The boss chatted while fishing, "Girl, are you a big star?"
"Those celebrities I see are not as good-looking as you!"
Ella shook her head, "No."
She knows what a big star is.
The big stars she understands are those who film and sing on TV.
The more people like you, the more you become a star.
Just famous.
Ella only heard about it superficially and did not delve into it deeply.
"Okay, I'll charge you one hundred and sixty." The boss handed the bag containing the yellow croaker to Ella.
Ella turned back and looked at Lu Mingfei, "Pay."
Lu Mingfei, who had just put down his phone, heard this and consciously stepped forward to pay.
Ella took the bag and walked forward.
The market was very lively and festive songs were played everywhere.
"What's the meaning of this?" Ella picked up the bag and looked at it and asked.
Everything I buy during the Chinese New Year seems to have a meaning.
"This means having more than enough every year." Lu Mingfei followed Ella and walked with her, "People always hope that tomorrow will be better than yesterday, and next year will be better than last year, right?"
"The so-called saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new means throwing away all the worries and worries of the past and welcoming a new beginning."
"New year, new starting point."
"That is the expectation for the coming year and the yearning for beauty."
Ella nodded.
Compared with dragons, many ordinary people's wishes are very simple.
They just want to live a better life.
Instead of being like a mixed race, like a dragon, chasing madly on the road of power and power, not daring to stop.
Of course, Ella is different.
Lu Mingfei didn't think Ella needed to chase her.
Ella is almost at the pinnacle of power.
Moreover, she did not pursue it deliberately.
Before, she also instinctively wanted to complete herself.
As time passes, Ella herself will become more and more perfect.
In fact, Ella is different from all of them.
She has the purest dragon blood flowing in her body.
But she has no memory of the past. She is like a new life form, with pure dragon blood, but like the other four monarchs, she has not experienced the era when dragons were prevalent, nor has she survived in human society.
Even if she is trying to accept these things, the pure dragon blood flowing in her body will still make her instinctively alienate.
"That's enough, that's enough. If you buy more, you have to take it yourself!" From afar, Mai Shutoku's voice came.
At this moment, she was preventing Zero from continuing to buy things, and at the same time complained, "My princess, just stop it!"
"When I go shopping with others, they are the ones carrying the things!"
"I'm going shopping with you, and I'm the only one carrying the things!"
"If I knew this, I should have brought my boyfriend number 100 over. Then you can buy whatever you want, as much as you want!"
"Yes." Ling nodded, turned around and saw Lu Mingfei, and waved to Lu Mingfei, "No. 100, here, get something!"
Lu Mingfei looked around and saw that Jiude Mai's body was covered with big and small bags of New Year's goods, fruits, apples, and a lot of mess. He couldn't help but slightly opened his mouth, looked at Ling, and asked in confusion Said, "What are you doing?"
"Do as the Romans do." Zero said matter-of-factly, "The more New Year's goods you have, the more face you will have and the more blessings you will have, and I'm not short of money."
"No, what does this have to do with face? You just come to play because you don't lack money, right?" Lu Mingfei shouted.
At the same time, he looked down at his phone and said, "You guys buy it first, and I'll pick up Su Enxi."
"You just want to see your little girlfriend!" Mai Shutoku rolled her eyes, "Why do you still need you to pick up the potato chip girl? Whatever she waved at was a Rolls-Royce!"
Lu Mingfei's expression was sarcastic.
Su Enxi came here with Eri Yi today.
"Is it really okay if we don't pick him up?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Oh, actually you don't need to pick her up." Mai Shutoku said.
"Have you arranged someone?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, "Just let me do it for this kind of thing!"
"No, it's the potato chip girl who's already here!" Mai Shutoku said, gesturing towards the back with her eyes.
Lu Mingfei looked back and saw the crowd commotion, causing waves of sideways glances.
Su Enxi wore sunglasses and walked in front with full aura.
"Hey, our little boss is quite interested?" She said to Lu Mingfei.
Behind her was Eri with long dark red hair and a miko uniform.
"Lu Jun, I'm here!" The moment she saw Lu Mingfei, Eliyi jumped for joy, waved to Lu Mingfei, and then trotted over with her skirt in hand.
"Let me help you get it!" Seeing that Lu Mingfei was carrying a lot of things in his hands, Eliyi consciously shared the burden for Lu Mingfei.
Looking at the lively Hui Liyi in front of him, Lu Mingfei felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The girl who had been looking forward to seeing the outside world seemed to have truly participated in this world at this moment.
"oops."
"I haven't seen Eriki for a long time. How are you doing?"
"Why are you wearing such clothes in this weather? Is it because your brother won't buy you clothes? I'll go find your brother later!" Lu Mingfei said, rubbing Hui Liyi's head.
"No, it's not cold. The clothes are warm!"
"Besides, my brother can't beat me!"
Eriki said and snorted, "Brother didn't want me to come over yet. Let me tell you, in the end I locked him in the room and ran out. He also said it was not safe here and wanted to come together. ,I do not want it!"
"Brother should accompany Miss Sakura!"
"Oh, and that old man who used to go to the place where we went to eat ramen always came to school to look for me. When I came here, he even followed me!"
"I found him and asked him not to follow me, or I would never pay attention to him again."
It seemed that it was because she was finally able to speak, or maybe because she was so happy to see Lu Mingfei, that Eryi started talking non-stop.
Lu Mingfei looked at the lively and energetic Hui Liyi in front of him, his eyes slightly sour.
Eriyi like this should be what she has been looking forward to.
Perhaps she had been waiting for this day for a long time, and she had never thought that she could tell her own story like an ordinary girl, even if it was about trivial things in daily life.
Because it was in front of the people I cared about, I had no reservations.
"Then what?"
"Is he really not following you?" Lu Mingfei asked with a smile.
The ramen chef Eriki was talking about was obviously Kame Shang Etsu.
I don’t know what happened between Shang Shanyue, Yuan Zhisheng, Eli Yi, and Kazama Ruri.
"That's not true!" Eriki said, "He told me that he was going to China to break your legs!"
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but open his mouth, "No, what does this have to do with me?!"
Old man in the shirt, that’s not the case!
As she said that, Eriki raised her hands and gestured, "Then I'll knock him out like this!"
"Tsk, if I had gone up to Shangyue, there would have been ten vans parked outside at this moment, and the vans were all filled with thugs in black suits, and you would have appeared." Su Enxi added at the side.
Mai Shutoku nodded, "That's right."
After listening to the two people's words, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but glance outside.
This is really something that Mr. Shangyue can do.
Or you have to add Yuan Zhisheng.
"Why don't you make cocoons?" At this time, Ella glanced at Eriki and asked.
With her ability, she can naturally see the situation of Eri Yi.
When Eryi saw Ella, she subconsciously leaned towards Lu Mingfei.
She was actually a little afraid of Ella.
After all, this woman is too terrifying.
In other words, it cannot be regarded as pure fear.
Just because King Bai's blood flows in his body, I always feel mixed emotions when I see Ella.
"You don't have to be afraid of me." Ella thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is the best outcome for us."
"If you form a cocoon, you can hold onto a powerful force."
Now that she has chosen to give up, she will not take action against Eri Yi again.
"I don't like it, because that way, I will be abandoned by the world." Eryi pulled Lu Mingfei's sleeves and looked up at Lu Mingfei, "That's good, isn't it?"
Her ruby-like eyes were so clear and moving, like stars.
Yes, what she wants has always been such a simple life, not the so-called power to touch the gods.
