Mei Raiden, who had always thought that her father was just an "ordinary man", covered her cherry lips with her hands when she heard the good news from Lu Mian, and her fair face was full of disbelief. After calming down a little, the girl couldn't wait to ask, her tone still full of surprise and excitement: "Lu Mian, are you saying that my father is not actually dead?" "Well, Mr. Raiden Ryoma is currently at the Satori headquarters. Although he cannot meet you in the short term due to some force majeure, he is still in good health after all. "You don't even know. I don't know if it's because the food from Heaven's Fate is better than Anti-Entropy in all aspects. He even gained a little weight." Chapter 28: The Lawgiver (Two in One) After having a barely "chatty" chat about Raiden Ryoma and the very likely appearance of "Mr. Thunder Dragon Pig", Lu Mian and Raiden Mei were both in a relaxed and happy mood. Taking advantage of the smile, Raiden Mei tucked her hair behind her ears and said shyly as if she was mustering up the courage: "Lu Mian, can I...invite you out to play?" It seems that this is the real purpose of her visit.
It was really difficult for this gentle and shy girl to take the initiative to make such an invitation. "Is this considered a 'date' invitation?" Lu Mian did not rush to agree, but instead joked while deliberately enunciating the words. Hearing this, Mei Lei Dian, who was already too shy to look Lu Mian in the face, seemed to be triggered by some "keyword" and her emotions quickly heated up. Her face was flushed, and her hands were waving randomly and meaninglessly in front of her chest. She didn't say a single word for a long time, "It's just that I just want to thank you for blocking the explosion for me in Changkong City, and for standing up for me afterwards. "After all, I haven't formally said 'thank you' to you until now." To this day, the girl still cannot forget the scene in Changkong City where the man held her tightly in his arms under the light of the fire. She can't forget the man's back as he stood up for her and negotiated with St. Freya Academy. Lu Mian silently admired the cute look of Raiden Mei who was so shy that she wanted to bury her head in her chest, but her eyes were flashing. He was thinking - thinking about whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to go out and tell Raiden Mei about the Plasma Shadow Show he had obtained before, as well as the entire origin and purpose of the Plasma Shadow Show. After all, there are a lot of twists and turns here, and it would be bad if a bad explanation caused the other party to have misunderstandings. In the absence of mutual trust and affection, there are only two possibilities: It's a small matter, and it may cause the father and daughter Mei Raiden and Ryoma Raiden to become estranged, or the father to be kind and the daughter to be filial. This is a serious matter, and may cause the Honkai to break out in St. Freya Academy. Therefore, as the one who makes the choice, Lu Mian naturally has to think carefully about whether to do it now, and if not now, when to do it. In fact, it would have been best to let Kiana, who has the highest mutual favorability with Raiden Mei, do this. Although cats and bugs are careless and easily mess up most or even all small things, they will not be careless when it comes to big things like this. But the problem now is, I don’t know if it’s because of Lu Mian’s intervention, although the relationship between Raiden Mei and Kiana is very good, it doesn’t seem to be as good as it should be. It's even slightly worse than the relationship between her and Lu Mian. If the original plot were to develop, it would definitely be love. But now it seems that it is really pure friendship.
Maybe the reason why Mei Raiden and Kiana have a good relationship is because they both lost their mothers since they were young and were raised only by their father? The relationship was not good enough to the point of life and death, perhaps it was because Lu Mian, who was too prominent, interfered? All I can say is that this is the butterfly effect. When Mei Leidian saw Lu Mian remained silent for a long time, the blush on her pretty face faded away, and she became uneasy: "Um...Isn't it okay?" "How could that be? I'd be very happy to go out and play with a beautiful girl like Mei. Have you decided on the time?" Lu Mian smiled as his thoughts were interrupted, and finally made his choice. Judging from his mild probing just now, it is still a little too early to use the slightly ambiguous word "date" between him and Raiden Mei. But the other party didn’t refuse explicitly or implicitly, right? That means they still have a foundation of affection and trust between them, so there won't be any major mistakes. Mei Raiden received a definite reply, and the expression on her face suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny, with the corners of her lips slightly raised to reveal a beautiful smile. She stood up briskly and walked toward the door, her steps and voice filled with unconcealed joy: "Then let's make it like this for now. Let's set the time after school. See you later~" After saying that, he walked out of the health room. Lu Mian chuckled and watched Lei Dian Mei leave, then picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea. Then he put down the cup, shook his head slightly and began to think about the words he would use later. If there is a book, it will be long; if there is no book, it will be short. Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye it was already evening. It was the time when Mei Lei Dian was finishing school, and Lu Mian, who had already prepared everything, did not delay any longer. He immediately locked the health room and finished his work for the day, then rushed towards Raiden Mei's class. Along the way, I met many students rushing to the health room. Seeing that Lu Mian looked like he had already gotten off work, they knew without even asking, and the anticipation and joy on their faces disappeared completely. In the end, he became like the victim of the minotaur in the anime or manga, not daring to get angry or speak out, as if his bitter face was silently telling: "You must be happy!" Although Lu Mian felt a little embarrassed about this, he didn't mean to act like a central air conditioner to comfort her. He just chuckled and nodded frequently, then hurriedly quickened his pace and fled the scene. This kind of resentment is still a bit scary... The distance between the health room and Raiden Mei's class was not far, and it didn't take long for Lu Mian to reach the destination. It is well known that no pure-blooded student likes to stay in school or class after school.
Therefore, although there were still some students staying there and talking about something when Lu Mian arrived, there were not many of them and they couldn't even block his view. He found Raiden Mei at a glance. At this moment, the other party was talking to Bronya beside him about something with a bit of embarrassment. Listening carefully, it seems to be about borrowing physics homework? Lu Mian was actually not surprised by this. Although Mei Raiden is an absolutely good student, it is useless to be a good student if she doesn't know science subjects like mathematics and physics. By the way, isn't the physics of all the Rulers of the current civilization, except for the Ruler of Reason, not very good? hiss...... As if he had discovered something terrifying, Lu Mian shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Then, he walked over to Raiden Mei and Bronya and asked in a gentle voice: "What are you talking about?" Mei Raiden, who had been concentrating on borrowing homework, obviously did not expect Lu Mian to come at this time, and she was so scared that her shoulders trembled. "No, nothing, just some small academic matters. Sorry, sorry, I must have forgotten the time and made you wait too long, right?" As she said this, the girl gave Bronya beside her a look that said, "Please don't tell anyone." Bronya successfully received the gaze and nodded towards Raiden Mei, indicating that there was no need to worry at all. Then, the little duck looked up at Lu Mian and immediately left the scene very tactfully, leaving behind only a word without any ups and downs: "Bronya, I still have some material to work on, so I have to go first. Goodbye, Mei-sister. "Lu Mian, Bronya may stay in your room for one night tomorrow, so remember to get ready. Bye." As she said this, the girl, who had already walked quite a distance, turned around, with an expressionless face, and made a "heart" gesture with her hands, as if she was "open for business". Seeing this, Mei Raiden, who was unexpectedly affected by this action and was also really touched by it, blinked her eyes and looked at Lu Mian, "So Bronya always stayed in your room when she didn't come home at night before?" "Well, as 'comrades-in-arms', we often travel together in the game world, and naturally there are situations where we fight all night long." Lu Mian explained with a chuckle. This is a lie, but not entirely a lie. There was only one reason why Bronya would stay in his room, and that was to take advantage of Yu Duchen's memory to take a good look at her sister Seele. However, the two of them did play a lot of games together, and they did stay up all night to play games. That's why I said it's not entirely a lie. After listening to Lu Mian's explanation, Raiden Mei nodded thoughtfully, but she was more envious. After a moment's silence, she said: "That's great. I've hardly played any video games before..."
"Hey, I didn't play much before, it was Bronya, the little genius, who taught me to play. "If there's a chance later, let's go together?" Lu Mian said. Hearing this, Raiden Mei smiled and nodded, "Okay, then it's settled." After a conversation about "games", Lu Mian and Raiden Mei were both silent. In the end, it was Lu Mian who spoke first and asked about the upcoming "date": "Let's talk about the next arrangements first. Is there any specific process or arrangement? Or will we just go with the flow?" "Ah, I have thought about where we are going. But before that, can I go home first and change my clothes or something?" Raiden Mei asked as if she suddenly remembered something. Naturally, Lu Mian would not object to anything. It was just a matter of waiting a little longer or a little shorter. The two walked away together, but they didn't notice a sneaky white-haired figure poking its head out from the classroom behind them... ----------------- evening. St. Freya Academy, Commercial Street. The gentle breeze is intoxicating, and the fragrance of flowers that comes from nowhere rises and falls with the wind, as if forming an invisible poem. The gentle sunset dyed the whole world into a romantic orange-red, and St. Freya Academy was also enveloped in it. Lu Mian and Raiden Mei walked side by side on the commercial street, through the bustling crowd, seemingly wandering aimlessly but with each other as their direction. At this time, Mei Raiden has changed out of the student uniform of St. Freya Academy and changed into a stunning look. The girl's long purple hair, which was usually loose, was rarely tied up with a light blue headband, into a neat low ponytail. Her pair of light purple eyes seemed to have captured a piece of bright spring light, indescribably gentle and soft. The slightly immature yet absolutely beautiful face was without any make-up, and was beautiful in a fresh and refined way. Her moist pink lips were slightly raised, with a smile that could not be wiped off. Looking down, her clothes are truly worthy of the word "stunning". She is wearing a plain dress made of blue and white. While highlighting the pure and flawless identity of its owner, it also portrays the proper youthful arc. Beautiful, very beautiful. In comparison, Lu Mian looked very casual, still wearing the same black windbreaker that he had worn for thousands of years. He himself doesn't care much about clothing, the only strict requirement is cleanliness and tidiness. In most cases, they prefer to do the job of "dressing up others". For example, when she sewed clothes for Otto and Kallen, and when she gave black windbreakers to Kallen and Velvet. Besides, he has some opinions if he examines it in detail: There must always be a less outstanding companion beside a bright and beautiful girl to serve as a contrast, right? Just like that, Lu Mian and Lei Dian Mei, a perfect couple who looked so good together, walked along the way under the attention of the people around them, intentionally or unintentionally, and came to a small restaurant with a simple but warm decoration. There are only a few ways to express gratitude, and the most common and appropriate one is to treat someone to a meal.
Lu Mian would understand. But in order to avoid the atmosphere between the two being too silent and causing awkwardness, he still asked a question: "Mei, is there any special reason why you chose this restaurant? For example, is there something you particularly like about it?" "I'm fine, but Kiana really likes it. Speaking of which, Lu Mian, you don't know, but whenever Kiana needs to eat in this commercial street, she will want to come to this restaurant. "She really likes the fried pork cutlet rice bowl from this restaurant." Mei Raiden explained, unable to hold back her laughter.
