She always felt that something had changed about Lu Mingfei.
But she couldn't explain it.
She could only politely reply, "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Mingfei! Old Liu, pick out a nice outfit for Mingfei!" Liu's mother's voice floated out again.
Mr. Liu patted his chest and said confidently, "You can rest assured that I'll handle things!"
After watching Liu's father and Lu Mingfei leave, Liu's mother turned to look at her little angel.
"Miaomiao, what do you think of Mingfei?"
“He used to be a loser and a coward, the school’s undisputed good-for-nothing,” Liu Miaomiao thought for a moment, “but now, there’s a feeling I can’t quite put my finger on!”
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "That's confidence! Give him time, and he'll definitely make a name for himself!"
"Mom, isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Liu Miaomiao looked at her mother in disbelief.
"It's not an exaggeration at all. You'll understand once you observe the school for a few days!"
"Uncle Liu, you finally managed to go shopping with Aunt Liu and the others..."
Before Lu Mingfei, who was following behind Liu's father, could finish speaking, Liu's father turned around and grabbed his shoulder.
Liu's father's voice carried a hint of a seasoned veteran's teasing.
"Mingfei, you're still too young!"
"She and her daughter were picking out clothes, and it wasn't convenient for me, a grown man, to go in. It was very boring to stand outside all by myself."
"And haven't you heard? When a woman is shopping, her health bar is full!"
Lu Mingfei hesitated, but Uncle Liu said something else.
But a large part of the reason is probably because they are worried about him.
To be honest, he really didn't understand why Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were so good to him.
They've only known each other for a day, yet they're as close as if they were sons. What does she want from him?
Lu Mingfei's lips moved slightly: "Uncle Liu, thank you!"
"Mingfei, if you really want to thank me, then show your spirit and let others know that you, Lu Mingfei, are not a good-for-nothing!"
After Liu's father finished speaking, Lu Mingfei subconsciously straightened his head and puffed out his chest.
"That's right!" Liu's father patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.
Over the next few hours, Liu's father took Lu Mingfei to almost the entire men's clothing section before finally picking out an outfit for the slender boy.
VICUTU fine-woven shirt + Jiumuwang slim-fit trousers + ECCO Sofitel loafers.
Yes, Liu's dad secretly paid the money.
When Lu Mingfei reluctantly put on his clothes to pay, he was told that someone had already paid.
At that moment, Lu Mingfei even wanted to kneel down and worship Liu's father as his godfather.
As for the old clothes he was wearing, he had already thrown them in the trash.
Lu Mingfei walked out of the clothing store looking refreshed.
Liu's father was standing outside the door with his back to him, making a low-pitched phone call.
"Xiaofei, how's it going on your end?...Okay, okay, I've got mine sorted out too!"
As soon as the call ended, Lu Mingfei called out softly, "Uncle Liu, I've changed it."
Liu's father turned around and looked him over in his new clothes.
"Hmm, very good, just a little thinner!"
When he finally looked at Lu Mingfei's head, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Come on, I'll take you to get a haircut!"
Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to scratch his head, but was interrupted by Liu's father.
"Don't scratch your head all the time, it looks like a bird's nest!"
Lu Mingfei's hand froze in mid-air before slowly lowering it.
Next, Liu's father took Lu Mingfei to TONI, where he completely transformed him, giving him a fresh new look.
After getting his hair cut, Lu Mingfei's hair was slightly shorter than before, and it was a trendy textured perm.
"Great, all set!" Liu's father stroked his chin as he looked at Lu Mingfei standing in front of the TONI store.
"Let's go, your Aunt Liu and the others should be at the restaurant by now!"
Lu Mingfei wanted to refuse, as this was a rare opportunity for the family of three to have a meal together.
Is it really appropriate for an outsider like him to interfere?
But when he saw the expression on Liu's father's face that left no room for refusal...
He gave up after all.
They've gone to such lengths for you; it would be ungrateful to refuse them now.
The two walked side by side, weaving through the bustling crowds in the mall.
As we approached the door of a uniquely decorated Western restaurant, a melodious and powerful piano melody poured out like flowing water.
Upon entering the restaurant, the focal point immediately comes into view—seated in front of the gleaming public piano in the center of the restaurant is none other than the elegant Liu Miaomiao.
She changed into a brand new, elegant off-white JEFEN lace dress, as if it were tailor-made for this piano stand.
The girl lowered her eyes slightly, her ten fingers like nimble elves.
Those black and white piano keys seemed to blend into her, flowing out passionate melodies.
Lu Mingfei was somewhat lost in thought as he watched.
As the music ended, applause erupted.
Lu Mingfei also started clapping his hands without realizing it.
Although he couldn't understand it, he still thought it was amazing.
He once belittled Liu Miaomiao as a "little brat".
But ever since Liu Miaomiao showed him how she played a few bars on the windowpane with one hand, making the glass vibrate slightly, Lu Mingfei stopped calling her a "little brat".
Because he tried several times in private, but he couldn't achieve the same effect as Liu Miaomiao.
Moreover, Liu Miaomiao was one of the few girls in the school who was willing to talk to him. What's more, this girl came from a wealthy family, had a slender figure, and a beautiful face, which made her even more rare.
Besides Liu Miaomiao, the "piano prodigy," the three most beautiful girls in the class are Chen Wenwen, the "literary girl," and Su Xiaoqiang, the "little fairy."
The boys in the class were divided into three factions, each supporting one of the three most beautiful girls in the class, while he himself belonged to Chen Wenwen's faction.
If it weren't for Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei would suspect that the person he secretly admired was this "piano prodigy."
"This is Adeline by the water! Miaomiao's piano skills have improved again!" Looking at his daughter on the piano, Liu's father almost burst into tears.
Lu Mingfei didn't understand, and just kept clapping.
"Mingfei, why don't you go up and give it a try!"
Lu Mingfei froze at Liu's father's sudden call.
Like a robot, he slowly turned his neck to look at Liu's father beside him.
"I……"
Just as he was about to say that he couldn't do it, the mastermind behind it all, System Bro, made his move.
If you dare say no, I'll send you to heaven right now.
The cold, mechanical voice made his already stiff body even stiffer.
"No way, what good will it do you to force me to do this and make me look foolish, System Bro!" Lu Mingfei mentally complained.
[Piano Level 10 trial card (1 hour) has been used]
“Uh…” Lu Mingfei’s lips parted slightly.
So that's where this stuff is used.
Lu Mingfei's thoughts raced.
Why do I get a trial card just because I happen to encounter this situation?
This can only mean one thing.
When the system administrator received the trial card after the task was posted, he knew this scene would happen.
This reminded him of the strange incident involving 30,000 yuan.
"As expected of a big shot, he can even do something like this with ease!" Lu Mingfei thought to himself in admiration.
Pulling himself out of his brief thoughts, Lu Mingfei spoke:
"I...I'll go up and give it a try!"
He walked nervously to the piano.
Liu Miaomiao just came down.
As they passed each other, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.
Liu Miaomiao didn't give Lu Mingfei any extra expression.
She went straight to her mother's side and sat down, elegantly picking up her glass and taking a sip of lemonade.
She didn't think that Lu Mingfei, that loser, could play the piano very well.
I just hope he doesn't embarrass her father.
Mr. Liu also sat down in the seat in front of the mother and daughter with a smile.
However, Lu Mingfei was now in a difficult situation.
He knew what would happen if he messed it up.
The system will definitely kill him.
