Chapter 127 A bitch is just being pretentious
The only sound in the bathroom was the running water, the splashing sound.
Lu Mingfei looked up at his white tank top in the mirror, the collar of which was soaked by water. A few wet patches made him look a bit dejected.
But what is he feeling down about? What is there to be sad about?
Things are different now. Even if he only had one hand, he could still slam Yu Tianheng against the wall so hard that he couldn't be pried off.
Although Dugu Yan apologized to Yu Tianheng in the end, Lu Mingfei still felt like something was weighing on his heart, making him feel depressed.
"I've been criticized again." A lazy voice came from behind.
Yeah, I got criticized again.
Even though he paid so much for living expenses and did so much work before, he still wasn't liked by his uncle and aunt. If even his own relatives were like that, what about his classmates?
Of course people can criticize him; in their eyes, he's nothing.
Putting aside his abilities, he doesn't even deserve to be taken seriously; people might even think he's superfluous.
A few noisy footsteps and laughter could be faintly heard coming from the corridor outside, along with the rustling sound of newspapers being turned.
Damn it, where did he get the newspaper from in his bathroom?
Lu Mingfei was startled, and then realized that one of those words was not what he truly felt.
Looking back, he saw a figure sitting on the toilet, half of his body covered by a half-open newspaper, with only his feet, clad in small black leather shoes, barely visible. Without a second thought, he immediately guessed who it was.
"Long time no see, brother." The newspaper was put down, revealing the little devil's delicate but somehow unpleasant baby face.
The key is that the top right corner has a ventilated skylight, and sunlight shines right on him, making him look like an important NPC in some drama, waiting for him to trigger a quest.
"Why are you acting like a ghost? Aren't you a demon? Why are you squatting in the toilet?" Lu Mingfei fanned himself with his hand in disgust. Although he couldn't smell anything, that didn't stop him from making up his own imagination.
"I call this situational application. After all, even hell has a work clock. One newspaper for one stall, and a day's work time slips by." Lu Mingze shrugged and put down the newspaper.
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of old-fashioned work meeting is this? It's clearly a salary theft!" Lu Mingfei looked disgusted, as if he couldn't bear to watch.
"What salary thief? I'm just here to maintain client relationships with my brother." Lu Mingze folded the newspaper and put it aside: "Developing new clients is important, but maintaining old clients is the true essence of being a top salesperson."
"Maintain my ass! Are you sure you're not here to make enemies? What if I'm relieving myself? How embarrassing would that be?" Lu Mingfei muttered, his eyes darting around. "Forget it, forget it. I'll just leave. The next deal won't be for months."
"Oh dear, brother, what you're saying is really heartbreaking." Lu Mingze pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere, and delicately wiped his eyes with his orchid-like fingers. "It's been a long time since I've come to inquire about your emotional journey, brother."
"After all, a person stranded in another world might have already become some kind of twisted and perverted person. For us demons, this is extremely rare observation material."
"Damn, are you guys all some kind of voyeuristic perverts?" Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a chill, hugged his arms tightly, and inexplicably felt like he was on the set of The Truman Show.
"Brother, you're always like this." Lu Mingze patted his forehead, looking a little helpless. "We demons also have work quotas, how can we have so much free time?"
I just sensed you were in a bad mood, so I made a special trip to visit you back.
"And you're saying you weren't monitoring me?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. Being pointed at by the devil and called a psychopath was a truly indescribable feeling.
"Of course there's no need to monitor them. After all, my brother and I have a telepathic connection." Lu Mingze smiled faintly. "They're just a few ignorant bugs. If they make my brother sad, just crush them."
"You really are a demon descended from heaven, a tyrant on earth! This tone... where did you come from, you unparalleled killer?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but retort. "Are you sure you're not the pervert?"
"Besides, I'm not really that sad, am I? At most, I'm just a little annoyed." Lu Mingfei quietly looked away from Lu Mingze and muttered to himself.
Although he was a little upset by being questioned by his classmates, he wasn't so bad as to want to kill someone.
"You don't feel sad because I'm sad for you," Lu Mingze said with a slight smile, the sunlight shining brightly on his face. "Isn't that cruel?"
"No one has thought about you, no one has asked if you are willing, they just want to force you," Lu Mingze sighed and shook his head: "Brother, you are actually a very contradictory person."
"You feel that the 'Lu Mingfei' they see is just the number one genius on the continent, not the real you. You long to remove this label and let people know the real you."
"But you failed. After all, nobody cares about that loser. So you could only find this small group of people to keep you warm by talking nonsense. But now a bunch of bugs have come to you."
"But you failed. After all, nobody cares about that loser. So you could only find this small group of people to keep you warm by talking nonsense. But now a bunch of bugs have come to you."
"It's annoying, isn't it?" Lu Mingze sighed.
"Now that you've finally gotten rid of those bedbugs, it's natural to feel upset if someone criticizes you for them."
"Why should I? You just did what you wanted to do, what's wrong with that? Doesn't anyone understand you?"
Lu Mingze's tone was so melancholy that it perfectly expressed the sentimentality in Lu Mingfei's heart.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask. Did he really have such bad luck?
Are you a tapeworm in my stomach?
Lu Mingfei really wanted to curse. No wonder he was a demon from hell; he had completely exposed his mental journey. He even wanted to open the toilet seat and jump in to drown.
"It's not excessive at all. What can I do? That's just how shameless I am. Shameless people are always so dramatic!" Lu Mingze chuckled as he said this. "You clearly possess the power and the qualifications to pull the sword from the stone, so why do you pretend to be a useless piece of trash, feeling uncomfortable over the motives and perspectives of those vermin?"
"It's not as bad as 'trash' in English, is it?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"Actually, there are even harsher things to say." Lu Mingze was almost amused by his anger. "But never mind, after all, it's incomplete without the spiritual growth that comes from hardship and choices. When the time comes, I believe my brother will always have time to make a change."
"What do you mean 'in time'? You came out and talked about life, and then you left us with a riddle at the end?" Lu Mingfei was confused. What hardship and choices? It didn't sound like a good thing.
"Sorry, that's a paid feature, you don't have the access yet." Lu Mingze jumped off the toilet, turned around and walked out of the bathroom. "Also, remember to bring some orange peels back next time to get rid of the smell, it's too strong in there."
Lu Mingfei only came to his senses when Lu Mingze's footsteps completely disappeared. He subconsciously stomped his feet on the floor, and he was a little unaccustomed to the fact that the other party had actually left without kicking him.
Wait, when did he start doing this? That's so shameless!
