"It must be a liar! And it was someone he knew in the neighborhood! Only those familiar with us know that our family is rich, and Mingfei applied to study abroad. He's playing tricks on us!”His aunt slapped the letter and said firmly.
"But who would send a cell phone over just to tease us? The N96 was now sold for more than 4,000 yuan for parallel goods and more than 5,000 yuan for mainstream goods.”His uncle kept imprinting his fingerprints on the pure black N96, like an old woman stroking an ancestral jade bracelet.
His uncle was a very particular person. He would always tell Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze at the dinner table that a three-piece set of a phone, watch, and lighter was a man's identity and taste. It was not easy to tell whether the socks were cheap goods that cost ten yuan for four pairs or high-end wool goods that cost fifty yuan for a pair, but this three-piece set was meant to be placed on the table for people to see. Lu Mingfei was lucky enough to go out to dinner with his uncle. He did indeed see his uncle smack his phone on the table with his right hand and a lighter in his left hand. He also inadvertently rolled up his sleeves to reveal a high-quality imitation of a Mont Blanc watch bought in Guangzhou, winning everyone's unanimous praise for his taste. Recently, his uncle had been very dissatisfied with his worn out Samsung phone. He had been searching for reviews and prices of new phones on some mobile phone websites. He had mentioned to Lu Mingze more than once that the new N96 was very " high-end ", but in order to pay Lu Mingfei the application fee, his aunt, who controlled the family's finances, would not agree to him changing his phone no matter what.
"What university? Are you bragging? A scholarship of $36,000 a year? Impossible! Last year, Chu Zihang, who was the top student in our school, didn't get a scholarship when he went abroad. Chu Zihang's whole family is in the United States and they all got green cards. One of his cousins is a university professor. Chu Zihang said that undergraduate students didn't have any scholarship. The better the major, the fewer the scholarship. The scholarship was for majors that Americans were unwilling to take, so they had to spend money to find Chinese people to take it.”It was rare for Lu Mingze to be so concerned about his brother's future.
Lu Mingfei knew that Chu Zihang was Lu Mingze's idol. When most of the people in middle school were still buying clothes from Nikes and Adidas, Chu Zihang had already started using brands like " Burberry." Chu Zihang was one of the school's spiritual idols. He was far away in the United States, but no one knew what Chu Zihang was doing there. Perhaps Chu Zihang was working part-time at the restaurant and washing the dishes like crazy. Lu Mingfei would think when he saw the eyes of those people when they mentioned Chu Zihang.
Lu Mingfei was such a person. When others were thinking in the direction of improvement, he would inexplicably think in the opposite direction.
Lu Mingfei's Chinese teacher had once used his essay as a negative example to criticize him in class. He said that this essay did not seem to have any fantasy spirit and revealed a pessimistic mood, so it would not have any initiative.
Lu Mingfei had the urge to stand up and say something. When he was a child, he watched Ge You and Xu Fan act in " See You Not Going Away." Xu Fan said that Ge You had no ideals and was useless. Ge You was anxious and drew Mount Everest on the blackboard. He blew up the middle section and said that he also had an ideal. His ideal was to blow up Mount Everest so that the warm wind from the southwest could enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and turn the snowy land into a water town in Jiangnan! However, when the Chinese teacher criticized him, she was far-sighted and looked straight at the students who were dozing off in the last few rows of the classroom. Therefore, she did not even glance at Lu Mingfei out of the corner of her eye, nor did she ask him to explain his mental journey when he wrote the essay. Therefore, Lu Mingfei lost the opportunity to stand up and defend himself.
Lu Mingfei's fantasy was divided into two stages. When he was in junior high school, he admired his archaeologist parents, so he fantasized about becoming an Indian? Jones and his unreliable parents formed an expedition team to search for an ancient South American city in the rainforest of Brazil.
When he was in high school, Lu Mingfei's fantasies reached a new level. It was because he had watched three consecutive movies of " The Matrix." He felt that he had a very magical ability that had yet to be discovered, like " Neo,"" the one." One day, a mysterious figure would discover his ability, and he would transform into a different person under everyone's burning gazes…As for what he would become, he had yet to think. Every time the school held a Spring Festival Gala, the little beauty Liu Miaomiao, who was a level-ten pianist, would play the piano on the stage. The boys in the same class would dance around the piano in a black suit. Lu Mingfei would sit in a forgotten corner with his chin in his hands. His imagination would run wild, thinking that a helicopter might come down from the sky to pick him up. A group of men in black sunglasses would walk into the venue with the coldness of CIB agents in movies. They would say in a low voice," Mr. Lu Mingfei, it's not the time to watch the Spring Festival Gala." The organization is summoning you, and war is about to break out. Then, they would put on Lu Mingfei's unknown black military uniform and long trench coat, and escort him out of the venue under the gazes of the students. Outside the venue, a pitch-black helicopter roared, and its huge rotating wings stirred up a strong wind that was like a knife cutting through one's face. At that time, whether it was the little beauty Liu Miaomiao or the dancing boy, they would stop and stare blankly at Lu Mingfei's back.
Every year, Lu Mingfei would wonder if a helicopter would come to pick him up on his birthday, but from the age of fifteen to eighteen, he had never seen a helicopter.
Lu Mingfei knew that these grand imaginations were just to help him pass the time, but he really didn't have anything special. As " Lu Mingze's older brother," he couldn't find anything good about himself that he could be proud of. To him, the future was to go to an unknown university, fall in love in university, find a job and rent a house. Perhaps his parents would urge him to get married occasionally when they thought of him. Then he would get married, have a child, and work every day.
With this letter from the United States, his stagnant life seemed to be about to change. However, in this family meeting, he was like an outsider. He curled up in the corner of the sofa and placed his hands on his knees obediently. The living room echoed with the endless muttering of his uncle, aunt, and Lu Mingze.
Lu Mingfei knew that his aunt and Lu Mingze had suffered a blow. If this letter was real, then it was a stroke of luck. It would not fall into anyone's hands even in ten years. Lu Mingfei had gotten the upper hand. If Lu Mingze applied again next year, he would be at a disadvantage. Lu Mingze was unhappy at first, and his aunt did not like to see this listless child suddenly start trembling. His uncle was actually a rather easygoing person. As long as Lu Mingfei was willing to give the phone to him, his uncle would be more than happy to help him get a passport and visa. His uncle had already emphasized that this phone would not work in the United States. This was a 2G phone customized by China Mobile, and the United States had already gotten 3G.
He got up and walked out of the living room. No one noticed that the main character had left. His uncle, aunt, and Lu Mingze were still arguing about the authenticity of the admission letter.
Lu Mingfei went back to his room, turned on his old laptop, and connected to QQ. He stared at the girl in the baseball cap's profile picture. The profile picture was still gray. It was either offline or invisible. Anyway, there were no messages. Lu Mingfei glanced at the clock on the wall. He had left a message 18 hours ago, asking Chen Wenwen if she wanted to join the Literature Club's event tomorrow night.
Chen Wenwen did not actually wear a baseball cap. She had long, soft, and straight hair. She was very beautiful and did not need to cover it up with a baseball cap. Lu Mingfei knew Chen Wenwen on the day he entered the school. Chen Wenwen was sent to the school in a Passat in a low-key manner. She was wearing a white cotton dress and a pair of lace white socks. There was a Hello Kitty hairpin on her long hair.
The hottest girl in Lu Mingfei's class should be the " little angel " Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang seemed to have been sent here by a BMW 750i or a Mercedes-Benz S500 that day. Her eyes and eyebrows were jumping with pride. After bidding farewell to her father, who was in the coal mine business, she reported to class and looked at the boys in the new class with a scrutinizing gaze, hoping that they would look back at her with surprise and admiration. However, the boys all looked askance at Chen Wenwen, who was far less eye-catching than Su Xiaoqiang. After Chen Wenwen finished the formalities, she held a copy of Duras 'Lover and read it on the bench in the corridor. The sun shone on her white cotton dress and skin, and everything seemed transparent.
The " little angel " had been proud for 15 years, but she was defeated by a young artistic girl on her first day of high school. She was filled with resentment. At this moment, there was a blind boy standing beside her. He pointed at Chen Wenwen and said to the " little angel,"" That's probably the class belle of our new class."”The " little angel " was proud of her beauty and had never been humiliated like this. She stepped on the boy's foot and turned around to leave.
That boy was Lu Mingfei.
In fact, Lu Mingfei was a very honest person. He felt that Chen Wenwen was prettier than the little angel, so he said that. Who knew that he would be enemies with the little angel for three whole years? He did not have any ill intentions when he said this because there were seven or eight boys who surrounded Chen Wenwen to watch. Every one of them was better than him. Later, these people formed a literary club. The core of this literature club was Chen Wenwen. She had weekly activities and read some cold and sad European and American literature works. She also wrote her reflections and handed them to the language teacher for marking. According to Lu Mingfei's uncle, she read books that were read by " middle-class white women." She didn't understand why someone like Lu Mingfei, who was so lacking, would be the director of the literature club.
However, to Lu Mingfei, Chen Wenwen was the first female idol in his life. She gave him the image of a good girl who was suitable for his family. When he was only fifteen years old, he gave up the idea of finding a lively girl. He felt that the greatest happiness in the world was marrying Chen Wenwen. Lu Mingfei felt that he had a little hope because he was invited to join the literature club by Chen Wenwen. The president, Chen Wenwen, had only invited two members. One was Lu Mingfei, and the other was Zhao Menghua, who was determined to get the little girl. It was easier to describe Zhao Menghua. He was the guy most likely to become the " second Chu Zihang " in the school.
However, this muddle-headed Kassel Academy actually sent Lu Mingfei an admission notice.
Even with the $36000 scholarship, Lu Mingfei couldn't become the "second Chu Zihang." He didn't have that kind of aura.
"Cut a plate?" A big-faced cat's profile picture popped up on QQ. The name was " Nuo Nuo." Lu Mingfei couldn't remember when he had added this person, but he never rejected other people's invitations. There were very few people who added him in the first place.
"Sure," Lu Mingfei replied casually.
Lu Mingfei was still using the red dot to control the controls. He was busy and lazy, but he was just trying to kill some time. Moreover, it seemed that " Nono " was a girl. The people who were really good in his channel were all uncles who had given birth.
But soon, Lu Mingfei realized that his opponent was not only fierce but also cunning. The moment he was distracted, the worker bees he sent out to scout the area were eaten by the other party with two puppies. Losing a drone wasn't a big deal, but the ingenious trap and meticulous operation alerted Lu Mingfei. He strengthened the defense at home and sent six dogs to patrol the surroundings. This saved his life. The enemy's team of puppies was detected by him the moment they invaded. The dog team that lost the opportunity to attack could only retreat immediately.
Lu Mingfei broke out in a cold sweat. He did not dare to be careless anymore. He abandoned the red dot and connected the mouse.
The official battle had just begun. The main forces of both sides had been upgraded from Hounds to Hydralisks, and they had used the Flying Dragon Team to launch a sneak attack on the two sides. When the Queen appeared, the battle between the two sides had already reached its climax. Lu Mingfei's hands on the keyboard danced like they were playing a piano. Both sides had four bases, and the mixed forces were engaged in an intense tug-of-war in the middle of the open space. Blood splattered on the battlefield, and Lu Mingfei had almost no time to think. He knew that his opponent wasn't having a good time switching between different operation screens at high speed. The micro-control between the two sides was almost the same as the operation frequency of professional players.
This was the first time he had encountered such a strong opponent in a field battle. He had a competitive spirit and decided to take the risk to upgrade the main base to level 3. He would mobilize the Devourer, Guardian, and Mammoth. This was a fundamental strategic change. If the other party hesitated for a moment and did not take advantage of the gap between him spending his resources to upgrade, Lu Mingfei would definitely win.
The leveling progress bar was slowly increasing. Lu Mingfei's heart was racing, and his palms were sweating. He had put on a show and killed a team of hydralisks, a team of puppies, and three lurkers. If the enemy believed that Lu Mingfei was amassing a large number of troops and did not dare to attack, then she would be fooled. Lu Mingfei only had so many soldiers, and he had spent all his resources on leveling up.
Soon, the upgrade would be completed soon. The elite troops of the " Three Carriages " could advance in the open and take down the enemy's bases one by one. Lu Mingfei felt the light of victory.
You're upgrading your base to level three." At this moment, a line of words popped up at the bottom of the screen.
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Go ahead, I have four teams of hydralisks and four teams of dogs, all of them have been upgraded to level two.”Nono continued typing.
The progress bar was about to reach its end, but Lu Mingfei could only type "GG"(which meant good game), which meant that he had to admit defeat while praising his opponent for playing well.）Answer Nono. He had been seen through. While the other party was typing, they shared a vision with him. Lu Mingfei could clearly see that outside the level-three base that he was upgrading, as Nono had said, the army was approaching and could attack at any time.
Lu Mingfei logged out of the game and returned to the QQ interface. He said to Nuo Nuo," I'm impressed."”
Nono did not reply. He left a grinning emoji and went offline.
For the first time in Lu Mingfei's life, he felt that he had been seen through by someone. It was as if his closest friend had returned to find him after being separated for many years. He sat there in a daze for a while and clicked to check Nono's information, but it was blank. He searched his memory and was sure that he had never known such a good player in StarCraft, and it was a girl.
He was suddenly shocked to see Chen Wenwen's profile picture jumping, but it was gray. This meant that Chen Wenwen had been online before, but she had already left.
"Sure, see you the day after tomorrow." This was the message that Chen Wenwen had left him.
He had waited for almost 19 hours and only saw these five words. However, his gloomy mood suddenly seemed to have evaporated. He jumped onto the bed and whistled. He twisted his waist and his face was radiant. He had forgotten about losing to Nono.
When Lu Mingze walked into the bedroom that he shared with Lu Mingfei, he sized up his cousin and said impatiently," Dad and Mom said that we'll call the people from that school tomorrow. We'll talk about it later.”
Lu Mingfei instantly returned to the real world and remembered the troublesome matter of going abroad. He couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Lu Mingze. He buried his head into his pillow and heard Lu Mingze typing away on the keyboard. Lu Mingfei's heart was filled with the joy of prank. He believed that when he opened QQ tomorrow and logged into the " Sunset's Mark " account, he would see Lu Mingze's affectionate poems or lyrical prose.
