"Mom, I'd better come." In the kitchen, Lu Mingfei, who was washing vegetables next to her, saw that Qiao Weini had turned on the gas and started a fire, and was picking up the fish on the plate and putting it in the pot, so she hurriedly put down her work and stopped her.

"What's wrong? This child, it's good for mom to come, just sit in the living room, mom will cook you a good meal. Giovanni was a little moved.

This kid must have suffered a lot over the years, as you can tell from his proficiency in the kitchen.

Wash the vegetables, scrape the scales, beat the eggs, and do it in an orderly manner.

Giovanni clearly said that she didn't need to help, but she still couldn't resist Lu Mingfei.

"It's okay, Mom, you can also try my craft, my son has grown up, you can rest first." Lu Mingfei hurriedly said.

Qiao Weni frowned, Lu Mingfei was a little too positive, "I'm not old enough to walk, and I can't cook." ”

"Hey, Mom, I read the book that if a woman often goes into the kitchen, she will grow wrinkles in advance and age quickly!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly took the plate in Qiao Weini's hand, pushed her shoulders and tried to push her out of the kitchen.

"This kind of rough work, just let my son come."

Qiao Weni looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, "Why haven't I seen this statement?" Do you think my mother is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl? ”

"Uh......" Lu Mingfei was choked.

"You hate your mother?" Giovanni slowly narrowed her eyes, and at this moment, there was a faint imposing momentum on her.

"No, Mom, how did you come up with such an idea? Is your son like that? Lu Mingfei immediately denied it, looking serious.

"Oh? Is it? Jovini picked up the plate again, and then Lu Mingfei pressed her hand down again.

"You dead boy, what do you want to do?" At this moment, Qiao Weni had already affirmed that Lu Mingfei did it on purpose.

She rolled up her sleeves, "Do you hate your mother's cooking?" ”

Lu Mingfei heard this, crying with a sad face, "No, Mom, you haven't cooked for many years......"

Facing Qiao Weini, who rolled up her sleeves, Lu Mingfei's voice weakened, "Didn't anyone tell you that your cooking actually needs to be improved......

When he was in the safe haven, Lu Mingfei ate it.

My mother estimated that she used to be a pampered master, where would she know how to cook.

She's just pretending to be in front of him.

"Okay, the wings are stiff, you really dislike your mother." Giovanni's chest heaved with rage.

To put it nicely, what does it mean to be improved? obviously dislikes her bad cooking skills!

She has to be strong all her life, and she can't bear this breath.

"Get out of the way, today my mother will let you know your mother's real cooking skills!" Giovanni snatched the plate and pushed Lu Mingfei out,

"Don't go into the kitchen without your mother's permission, wait in the living room!"

Boom!

The kitchen door was shut.

The mother is inside, and the son is outside.

...

...

A moment later, in the living room, Qiao Weni and Lu Mingfei sat quietly at the dining table, staring at the three dishes and one soup on the table without speaking.

The yellow croaker is fried, not only is it a little charred, but it is also broken into a plate.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a ball of paste.

Green pepper beef, I don't know if Qiao Weini's hands are shaking, the soy sauce is a little too much, but it can still be eaten.

As for the chicken soup, which looks good, it is a little salty and bitter.

Lu Mingfei can see that Qiao Weini is actually more suitable for cooking dishes that can be eaten when heated.

For example, roast goose, heat it slightly in the microwave, and then sprinkle some toppings, it will be delicious.

Giovanni looked at the recipe she had made, and said dignifiedly, "Mom is a little too excited tonight, this is not your mother's real level." ”

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei nodded solemnly, without meaning to move the chopsticks.

"Also, there seems to be a problem with the gas stove, it should be too old, and the heat is not good." Jovini explained.

"Hmm." What does this have to do with the heat? They were all confused, but Lu Mingfei still nodded and said, "I'll go and get a new one tomorrow." ”

"Also, don't buy this brand of salt in the future, no, don't buy the salt produced by this brand in the future, you have to change to another one, this is more salty, I obviously only put a little bit." Jovini commented earnestly.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei said.

Qiao Weni looked at the barely edible green pepper beef, "If I say that I accidentally poured too much soy sauce, would you believe it?" ”

"Faith."

"Ugh." Giovanni sighed and gave up struggling.

"Mom, in fact, your cooking skills have grown a lot." Lu Mingfei comforted, because he had eaten darker dishes than his mother's cooking,

"You just didn't have the materials to practice when you were in the haven, and with your talent, two more days of practice is comparable to a good chef."

"Yes, yes, it has to be like that." Jovini said.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei hurriedly diverted the topic, "Mom, what about the household registration book, I need to re-apply for documents, my previous one is gone." ”

If you don't have an ID card, you won't be able to get a passport to Japan.

Of course, he can also ask Su Enxi to help.

I just don't know what Su Enxi is doing.

"Going abroad?" Qiao Weni looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, "To meet your girlfriends?" ”

Lu Mingfei, who was drinking water, was choked.

Seeing this, Giovanni thought of the dragon kings in the haven, and couldn't help asking, "How many girlfriends do you have?" Who are those dragon kings? ”

Seeing so many dragon kings at the beginning shocked Giovanni.

Although she thinks that her son must be very good, and there must be a girl who chases him, it is also limited to the human realm.

What's the deal with all dragon kings?

Lu Mingfei was able to get a girlfriend, as a mother, Qiao Weini was very happy, but thinking that those so-called girlfriends were all dragon kings, Qiao Weini couldn't help but worry about Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, you have to deal with it, don't make them unhappy, it's a disaster for mankind." ”

"If you want me to say, it's still humans who are more suitable for you." Giovanni said worriedly.

If the other party is human and her son is bullied, she can still get justice.

But if the other party is the dragon king......

Looking at Qiao Weini, who was worried, Lu Mingfei hurriedly changed the topic, "Mom, you want to join Kassel?" ”

When he found Jovini at Marina Elementary School earlier, he saw Kassel's invitation to Jovini's job offer.

"Angers invited me some time ago." Jovini said.

She had been in the seaside for a year, and she had thought a lot about it, and if she could, she wished she had never left.

If she hadn't left Lu Mingfei behind, if she had been more determined, maybe her son wouldn't have been so bitter.

You won't be tormented by so much pain and despair.

But even so, he still carried his wounds on his back and traveled thousands of miles to find her.

Thinking of this, Giovanni's eyes swelled with mist.

She is not a passing mother.

When Lu Mingfei saw Qiao Weini's appearance, he immediately panicked, "Mom, I'm sorry, for Dad, I can't help but do this." ”

He thought that Jovini was sad because of Lu Lincheng's death.

On the contrary, when Giovanni heard this, the fog in her eyes immediately disappeared, and a flash of disgust flashed, "He's not your father!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Qiao Weini looked at Lu Mingfei, "When I gave birth to you, in order to observe you and collect your information, your father ...... Lu Lincheng will pretend to get the certificate with me. ”

"Our task is to collect data on your upbringing, to observe your mood swings, to observe your differences."

"So in order to give you a perfect family and better data collection, Lu Lincheng will get the certificate with me, and we didn't even hold a wedding."

"It is precisely because of the results of his research during this period that he is qualified to become the secretary general of Haven."

When he learned of this, he left without hesitation with the information he had gathered.

And as soon as he went, he missed Lu Mingfei's childhood.

"Ah...... So that's ......" Lu Mingfei heard what he said and fell silent.

He couldn't talk about sadness and sadness, but he suddenly felt a sense of loss and relief.

"So, you don't have to blame yourself, Lu Lin City has changed, it's not your fault." Giovanni rubbed Lu Mingfei's head and said.

As the two were talking, the door was opened.

"Auntie, are you there?" Lu Mingfei's slightly familiar voice sounded, and then a girl opened the door and walked in.

The girl was dressed in a white casual suit, with a baseball cap, and a vegetable in her hand, as if she had just bought it at the market.

She seemed to come to the door often, and the familiar one changed into slippers and walked in.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and met the girl's gaze, and his face couldn't help but show surprise, "Su Xiaoqiao? Why are you at my house?! ”

You must know that this is Lu Mingfei's former home, not the aunt's house in the community.

When Su Xiaoqiao saw Lu Mingfei, her expression was also shocked, a little incredulous, and then her pupils rippled, as if there was a mist surging.

Su Xiaoqiao couldn't tell whether it was shock, joy, or excitement.

She only felt a strong urge to confirm that the boy in front of her was real.

The moment she saw Lu Mingfei, an indescribable complex sadness surged in her heart.

The sadness almost welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help but want to hug the boy.

This boy's face has faded from greenness, but he has also become more manly, with a touch of unique charm.

Eventually, she tried to suppress the urge that was surging in her heart and tried to make her emotions seem calm.

"I bought groceries." She spoke, her voice trembling with a hint of uncontrollable hoarseness.

For a long time, Su Xiaoqiao would send messages to Lu Mingfei every once in a while.

The news was usually dispensable, nothing more than talking about school, clubs, and talking about her father starting to take her to various banquets and introducing her to all kinds of people.

Who's son is very good, who graduated from Stanford, or Louis Washington University.

Introduce her to those highly educated returnees, and introduce her to the top famous universities in China.

She didn't like that, and she didn't like to be at all kinds of banquets.

On occasions like that, it's as if everyone is wearing a false mask.

Until almost a year and a half ago, after meeting Lu Mingfei in the hospital, he never showed up again.

The message she sent to Lu Mingfei was no longer answered.

The avatar of Ming Fei on QQ has also completely dimmed and has never lit up again.

Lu Mingfei seemed to have disappeared, disappeared from her life.

Even the slightest connection was broken.

Su Xiaoqiao also knew that she and Lu Mingfei were not from the same world.

He wasn't like her, and the distance between them was only getting farther and farther apart.

Sooner or later, they will all be strangers, just like Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang, the bright star of Shilan Middle School, went to Kassel, and there was no news at all, and almost no one knew what he was doing.

They are like once dazzling stars, suddenly drowned in the brilliance of the stars, and disappeared.

Su Xiaoqiao probably knew that Lu Mingfei would not pay attention to her anymore, just like Chu Zihang who went to Kassel.

They all have their own wonderful lives.

They are all on the other side of the world.

She had the privilege of seeing and experiencing that kind of world.

It was indeed not a world that ordinary people like her could touch.

In fact, on that rainy night, the moment Lu Mingfei opened her golden pupils to her, she was very sad.

She had known that this day would come.

But I'm still sad.

But she respects Lu Mingfei's choice.

Until a year ago, a brilliant light erupted over Siberia and enveloped the whole world.

According to the news, it is said that the meteorite explosion over Siberia caused a magnetic field to fluctuate, which then led to the instability of the ionosphere, which caused the unprecedented spread of light produced by the meteorite explosion.

Su Xiaoqiao knew that what was said on the news was.

It must have been caused by a supernatural force.

It's the same as the heavy rainstorm in the coastal area for half a month.

For a long time, the whole world was talking about the vision that affected the whole world.

Watching the news broadcasts and discussions on the forum every day, Su Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a little scared and worried.

Lu Ming won't be okay if he doesn't be a hero every day, right?

This vision can save the world, hey!

It has nothing to do with Lu Mingfei, right?

At that time, she hadn't contacted Lu Mingfei for a long time, but looking at the news and discussions on the forum, Su Xiaoqiao couldn't help but send a message to Lu Mingfei, asking if he was still alive and if he was dead?

If Lu Mingfei saw it, he would definitely restore her, "You just died, you crow's mouth." ”

However, she did not receive any reply.

She just wanted to know if Lu Mingfei was okay.

But Lu Mingfei is like he is really dead.

She finally went to ask Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang replied to her unprecedentedly, saying, "Go and send him a branch flower." ”

Lu Mingfei's funeral was very low-key, but a lot of people came one after another.

At Lu Mingfei's funeral, Su Xiaoqiao saw the woman who was crying profusely.

The woman's name was Giovanni, and she was Lu Mingfei's mother.

At the funeral, Su Xiaoqiao felt very strong sadness and sadness, and tears fell uncontrollably.

It turned out that that goodbye was really their last face.

Jovini moved to her hometown in the countryside.

For a long time, because of the departure of her son, her whole person was confused, her expression became more and more haggard, and she didn't think about tea and dinner.

Jovini doesn't seem to be a good cook, and she doesn't cook much.

So as soon as Su Xiaoqiao had time, she would come to see Qiao Weini and cook a meal.

If she doesn't have time, she will also bring some home-made bento boxes for Jovini.

After a long time, Su Xiaoqiao got used to running to Qiao Weini.

Although Qiao Weini has said many times that Su Xiaoqiao doesn't have to be so troublesome, Su Xiaoqiao still comes whenever she is free.

Slowly, Su Xiaoqiao watched Qiao Weini get better, she seemed to have found a job, and the place of work seemed to be abroad.

Su Xiaoqiao was happy about this, so he came over early today.

It's just that I didn't expect to see Lu Mingfei here, who everyone thought was dead.

Su Xiaoqiao tried hard to suppress the strong emotions surging in his heart, calmly walked into the kitchen, and quickly brought out all the dishes.

At the dinner table, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiao stared at each other with big eyes.

"Look at what, do I have flowers on my face?" Seeing Lu Mingfei staring at him from time to time, Su Xiaoqiao frowned, and finally couldn't help asking.

"No, that's how you and my mom met?" Listening to Qiao Weini's brief introduction just now, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask.

"Or else?" Su Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes, "Don't stare at a girl like this, people who don't know will make people mistakenly think that you are a hooligan." ”

"Have you ever seen a rascal as good as me?" Lu Mingfei was a little unconvinced.

"Oh." Su Xiaoqiao replied indifferently and took a bite of food.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Lu Mingfei's face darkened, "You're too perfunctory, aren't you?" ”

"Oh, I see it now." After Su Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he put down the bowl, "I'm full, you eat slowly, I'm going back, I still have a lot of things to do." ”

"What are you doing when Su Xiaoqiao goes back so quickly? It's hard to see you once! Lu Mingfei said.

"Oh, and do you have anything to say to me, Road Puppy?" Su Xiaoqiao looked back at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei: "??? ”

"What?" Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiao with a confused expression, "Why did I become a road puppy?" ”

"You know it yourself, huh!" Su Xiaoqiao snorted heavily, got up and walked out.

She walked as fast as she could, and by the time Giovanne had spoken out, she was out of the door.

Boom.

Su Xiaoqiao got into the Audi parked outside the door and slammed the door shut.

She didn't start the car right away, but sat quietly in the driver's seat and looked through the notepad she had taken out of the storage box.

Sandwiched between the pages of the notepad is a maple leaf that has been dehydrated and dried out.

The maple leaf was so dry that it seemed to shatter at the touch of a touch, and the texture on it had long since died, and it was no longer as beautiful as it used to be.

But Su Xiaoqiao still kept it carefully, for fear that he would accidentally break it.

That was the first and last gift Lu Mingfei ever gave her.

Next to the maple leaf, there are a few lines of small print.

[Lu Mingfei is a dog, how can anyone give leaves as a gift. 】

[This dog thing is actually going to hypnotize me again, I know that he was born a puppy!] 】

[I'm so sad, what should I do? 】

[He ignored me]

[It turns out that he doesn't ignore me, he can't ignore me]

[What kind of hero do you do, don't you know that the heroes died miserably in the end? ] 】

Su Xiaoqiao picked up the pen, but paused for a moment.

She didn't know what to write, but she felt that her mood had become happy and sad at this moment, and the tears that had been suppressed in her eyes couldn't stop dripping on the notepad at the moment, wetting the pages and the dry maple leaves.
