Chapter 224 Such an excellent boy should never appear here

A little uncomfortable.

Lu Mingfei sat on the recliner. The soft cushion isolated the low temperature of the seat surface, giving people a comfortable experience.

My head involuntarily leaned back and the windbreaker draped over the back of the chair cushioned the back of my head. While it provided support, it was not as cold as I had expected.

Looking up, the quaint ceiling casts a faint light, casting a curtain of silence over this empty archive room.

Suddenly I have nothing to do.

For a moment, he didn't think about anything. He just listened to Zero's footsteps gradually fading away, and the heart that seemed to never stop gradually slowed down.

It seems that there is really nothing to do.

Ever since meeting Ling, Lu Mingfei's biggest feeling in this somewhat empty house was relaxation.

There is none of that disgusting smell of modified hybrids, nor any profound research, and there is no need to battle wits with others.

Even when we eat, there is someone to take care of us.

To be honest, he has been back for almost three years and has experienced all kinds of things, but this is the first time he has had such an experience.

It feels like I no longer need to be that towering existence, and no longer need to worry about complicated affairs. Time passes quietly in the comfort and plainness, turning into dust.

Lu Mingfei didn't hate this feeling.

If this world wasn't inhabited by a bunch of evil spirits, and now surrounded by the threat of monsters, he might have many opportunities to relax like this.

"I've been busy with this and that, it seems like it's time to take a break."

Even though there are still meetings to be held later, and research areas to be conducted before finally heading to Greenland, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the present.

Looking to the future, based in the present, I have taken every step well. Now it seems that I can stop for a while and wait for others to catch up.

Just wait.

Looking at the quaint ceiling, Lu Mingfei slowly closed his eyes. After a while, his body, which had always seemed as strong as steel, seemed to have a soft curve.

He is tired too.

Since leaving for Tokyo, Lu Mingfei has never had a proper rest, maintaining discipline, killing dragons, fighting against Odin, guarding against threats from outer space, and later negotiating with Ange, reaching a consensus with the secret party, resisting several divine punishments, and holding a hybrid conference.

Communicating with Leo took up a great deal of energy, but I still had to muster up the energy to discuss plans and develop new technologies with my trusted partners.

He is too tired
Da~da~da~
When Ling came back with the lunch box, he saw Lu Mingfei asleep and instinctively slowed down his steps.

I am tired indeed.

Ling also knew what Lu Mingfei had been doing during this period. He was active in Tokyo almost 24 hours a day, and then traveled back and forth across three continents. In just half a day, he traveled around the earth, not to mention the various complicated affairs he had to deal with. If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon King had been exhausted, he would have died long ago.

She gently placed the thermal box on the table, turned off the clock, bent slightly, and looked at the boy carefully. There were ripples in her blue eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, she simply sat down at the edge of the table, propped herself up and looked at the other person quietly.

"What happened?"

Ling thought about it and instinctively felt that Lu Mingfei was very different now.

I still remember when we first met, although Lu Mingfei also pursued efficiency, he did not seem to be in a hurry. During the mission, he would take time out to bring small gifts to each of the nannies.

But this time is different.

From the moment they met at the airport, she clearly felt that Lu Mingfei's actions were impatient, as if something was chasing him from behind.

This is intuitive feedback.

But if Lu Mingfei didn't say it, she wouldn't ask. Ling just hoped that she could do everything well, just like her calm appearance, and would not take the initiative to explore those secrets.

"I think the reason why we rushed to carry out so many projects at the same time is because of a secret that I don't know."

Ling pondered, wanting to touch the unknown secret, but in the end he swallowed it back, looking disappointed. It was really sad.

His power is strong enough to change the world, and countless hybrids can only act according to his mood, but why is he still so tired?
Zero looked at the boy who had made a promise with him.

He has quite regular facial features and a smooth and coordinated outline. His hair color seems to be due to excessive use of elemental power. It is a rare gradient type. The whole hair is black, but the ends are a light blue-gray.

That bluish-gray color is so beautiful that it makes people want to extract that color and paint it into a hazy sky.

Such an outstanding boy should be sought after on campus.

He definitely shouldn't be here.

Zero felt sadder than ever before.

But what can I do? After all, I am just an ordinary half-blood. If it weren't for the other party's charity, I would have died in the snowfield of Siberia long ago. Even the reason for my survival was given by the other party.

I have always been the recipient of charity, so even if I want to help, I am afraid I can't do anything.
After all, this is something that even the Black Emperor is troubled by.

Ling's eyes gradually became dazed, he just held his hands in front of his chest, and an idea popped up in his mind for some unknown reason.

The thought that popped up this time was the book that Su Enxi's second-dimensional self had once stuffed into her hands.

Now is a good time for a sneak attack.

wrong
Zero's expression changed slightly.

What the hell am I thinking about?

She shook her head quickly, and the hair on both sides of her cheeks was like a golden bead curtain, reflecting gorgeous light under the light.

Regaining his indifferent expression, Ling looked at Lu Mingfei's sleeping face and talked to himself.

"It would be great if I could help."

"Ok?"

Even though it was a very faint sound, the close distance still made Lu Mingfei wake up subconsciously.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Zero's beautiful face close to me, and my own reflection was in his clear light blue eyes.

"?"

Lu Mingfei retreats tactically.

"."

Ling quickly straightened his body and jumped down from the edge of the table, his calm face slightly flushed.

"How long have I slept?"

Seeing that the second hand of the clock had not moved, Lu Mingfei rubbed his face and asked.

"Including the time I was away, 23 minutes and 42 seconds."

"He slept so soundly, as if he had had a whole night's rest."

Lu Mingfei stretched his body. Even a short rest would be very helpful to him.

Just a short period of deep sleep can make people feel refreshed.

He noticed the girl who had been staring at him, with the embarrassment deliberately concealed in her eyes, and generously pointed to the chair on the other side.

"Why are you looking at me? Pull up a chair and let's eat together."

"it is good!"

The girl bent slightly and opened the thermal box she had brought with her.
