100: Nono: Ricardo, we don't have much time left. Do we still want to participate in the activities?

"Still playing little tricks?"

Su Bai glanced at the Black King sleeping at the foot of the tree of life.

When Lu Mingfei appeared just now,

He clearly felt a mysterious mental force coming from the Black King's direction, merging into it, and then the Black King fell into a deep sleep.

Apparently,

That guy, the Black King, couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to come back to see, but didn't dare to provoke Su Bai.

Helpless, he could only return in this way.

"This perfectly explains Lu Mingze's existence, but I wonder if Lu Mingfei is also connected to him?"

Su Bai thought for a moment,

Then, he dismissed it, better to look at the simulator first... [July 17, 1991, Lu Mingfei was born. On the day of his birth, his parents left, and from then on, Lu Mingfei was fostered with his uncle and aunt.]

[Unlike the legendary protagonists.]

[Lu Mingfei was born a jinx.]

[From his birth until he was eighteen, this period of life, which for others could be recalled and savored, was for him so bland it was almost gray.]

[No one cared about him, no one respected him, and even he himself had given up...]

[He had a crush on Campus Belle Chen Wenwen for a long time, but he didn't dare to confess, nor did he dare to approach her easily. He only dared to secretly peek, like a rat in a sewer, with inferiority and fear lingering in his heart.]

[Eighteen-year-old Lu Mingfei didn't know where his future lay.]

[At most, he just thought about running a newsstand later, then buying a game console, and living out an extremely boring life.]

[And it was for such a good-for-nothing.]

[Life, at eighteen, finally took a turn.]

[creation points +50]

[He, who had always had bad luck, received an invitation from a prestigious school that day. At this time, he didn't know that this invitation would change his ordinary life forever.]

[Cassell College — Angers.]

[There was a signature at the end of the letter, Lu Mingfei didn't know what the name represented, nor did he know that his destiny was about to change. He thought it was just like usual, a fleeting moment of good luck.]

[He still went.]

[Arriving at the interview room, there was Chen Wenwen from the same school, and a group of classmates who looked brilliant and dazzling.]

[They were white swans in the light, no matter where they went, they were the focal point of the crowd's attention. Lu Mingfei, however, was like an insignificant black duck, silently standing in the corner, as if he were air, unnoticed.]

[A long torment.]

[Lu Mingfei's heart was sensitive and fragile. For a child, eighteen is the most important stage of their life, worth devoting everything to prepare for.]

[Roses, red carpets... multicolored lights, this is how most adolescent boys dream of themselves, like legendary protagonists, bright, dazzling, and eye-catching...]

[But these had nothing to do with Lu Mingfei.]

[Lu Mingfei waited quietly, as countless times before, for the news of his elimination.]

[However, this time there seemed to be a turning point.]

[The students before him were eliminated one after another; even the dazzling Campus Belle Chen Wenwen was regretfully informed that she had been eliminated.]

[Only Lu Mingfei was left in the interview room.]

[Lu Mingfei silently got up, packed his things, and walked towards the exit.]

[Thump... Thump... Thump...]

[Footsteps softly sounded. Lu Mingfei, with his back to the interviewer, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and felt a raging fire ignite in his heart.]

[Even an ugly duckling, after being unlucky for so long, would get angry.]

[Let alone a human.]

[Why couldn't it be him? Why couldn't he be the protagonist for once? Why did he always have to be a stepping stone in others' eyes?]

[He clenched his fist! Then... he weakly let go.]

"Is this impotent rage?" Lu Mingfei gave a self-deprecating smile. He no longer held any extravagant hopes and strode out, to avoid the mockery that would surely follow.

[Just as he was about to step out of the conference room, a voice from behind drifted over: 'Classmate, congratulations, you've passed the entrance interview.']

[Click.]

[Lu Mingfei's footsteps halted. He turned his head in astonishment, for a moment doubting if he had misheard. After confirming it repeatedly, Lu Mingfei was stunned.]

[This feeling was like a sky covered by dark clouds, suddenly one day, the clouds broke apart, sunlight fell to the ground, and that warm sensation was unforgettable for a lifetime...]

[The unluckiest guy in the class passed the Cassell College interview!]

[This news spread throughout the entire campus with almost insane speed. Almost all the students found it unbelievable, cursing Lu Mingfei for getting incredibly lucky.]

[Even Chen Wenwen, though she said nothing on the surface, felt a sense of imbalance in her heart.]

[Lu Mingfei, who had been unlucky for eighteen years, finally enjoyed a protagonist's treatment. Wherever he went, eyes converged on him, like a big star walking on a red carpet, every move he made attracting extra attention.]

"My life has changed!"

[Lu Mingfei cheered himself on in his heart, but the outward splendor couldn't hide his inner emptiness. Lu Mingfei had been unlucky for too long; even if good luck genuinely arrived one day, he would doubt if it was an illusion.]

[In such anxiety, Lu Mingfei waited until graduation season.]

[Graduated.]

[The school was filled with laughter and joy. Everyone was liberated from the 'cage' that had imprisoned them for three years, going their separate ways. From now on, they might never see each other again for a lifetime.]

[If you want to confess, this is your last chance.]

[In Lu Mingfei's heart, an unlucky child shouted loudly that he was unwilling! The girl he had secretly loved for three whole years, just like that, to the ends of the earth, with no more interaction!]

[What if? What if the confession actually succeeded?]

[What if Chen Wenwen also liked me?]

[This is probably what all boys about to confess feel in their hearts; they fantasize, building a beautiful dream for themselves, imagining themselves as the Prince Charming of the girl they secretly love...]

[But reality is not a fairy tale, and Prince Charming is never them.]

[As the saying goes: a confession is not the bugle call to charge, but the bell announcing victory.]

[Their so-called courage is nothing but self-deception, pitiful... yet tragic.]

[The graduation party arrived.]

[Lu Mingfei's rich second-generation classmate invited everyone. At the party, the rich second generation was dressed in a suit and tie, his hair meticulously groomed, just like a male protagonist from a novel.]

[As soon as he appeared, all the male classmates were overshadowed by him.]

[Dazzling lights, intoxicating drinks... Lu Mingfei, wearing a cheap suit rented with all his pocket money, stood beside the rich second generation, like a waiter serving tea and water for him.]

[The gap between people cannot be bridged by effort alone; no matter how hard an unlucky child tries, he cannot compare to a true white swan.]

[But even so, Lu Mingfei still wanted to confess.]

[He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. When he entered, Chen Wenwen smiled at him. Did Chen Wenwen like him too? Was this a hint? Did Chen Wenwen want him to confess?]

[It must be! Otherwise, why was Chen Wenwen so gentle to him?]

[The unlucky child's heart is empty and lonely; once someone is gentle to them, they will regard them as an angel sent from heaven.]

[But he forgot a truth.]

[Angels smile at everyone because they are gentle; they treat everyone this way, and no one is ever an exception in their eyes.]

[But unfortunately, too many people mistake this cheap gentleness for unique salvation.]

[Lu Mingfei believed it.]

[He thought he was Prince Charming. He strode forward, like Don Quixote challenging windmills, he was going to be the fool in everyone's eyes!]

[He stepped onto the stage, locked onto his target, took a deep breath...]

[Just as he was about to shout those words.]

[The lights went out, then the curtain rose, and a handsome rich second-generation classmate in a exquisite small suit, holding a bouquet of roses, slowly walked from under the stage.]

[He smiled freely, walked elegantly, and the light shining around him made him appear incredibly dazzling.]

[The rich second generation confessed.]

[Amidst the lights and roses, he confessed to 'Chen Wenwen', the goddess in the hearts of the male students in the class.]

[This was like a fairy tale, yet also like a tragedy.]

[The fairy tale part was that a rich second-generation, like a Prince Charming, confessed to a princess-like beautiful girl in reality, a scene so stunning it could make people scream.]

[The tragic part was.]

[The screaming crowd might never know that, just a moment ago, there was another unlucky child at the scene who was also preparing to confess.]

[He was like a clown, like a backdrop.]

[At this moment, the curtain opened, and on the large display screen behind, black text spelled out 'I love you!']

[Lu Mingfei's position happened to be the 'I']

[He became a passerby in the eyes of others, paving the way for Prince Charming's confession, watching others confess to the goddess he had secretly loved for three whole years.]

[He was still an unlucky child.]

[The lights went out, the dance resumed, and Chen Wenwen accepted the rich second generation's confession, shattering Lu Mingfei's last shred of fantasy.]

[Lu Mingfei sank to his knees beneath the stage. At this moment, how he wished for a bottle of strong liquor, even if temporary, at least it could delay his tearing heartache.]

[Lu Mingfei didn't understand.]

[He should be like an agent in a movie, with a black helicopter landing outside, followed by a group of agents in black trench coats and sunglasses surrounding him, changing him into a black trench coat, pinning a pistol on him, and in the envious eyes of his classmates, walking towards that black helicopter...]

[The 重點 was not how he saved the world.]

[But in the gaze of others looking at his back.]

[So cool!]

[But at this moment, Lu Mingfei was super unlucky, but he had been unlucky for so many years, it seemed... he had already gotten used to it.]

[Everyone has a few times in their life when they feel they've seen the gates of heaven open, and this day, Lu Mingfei had waited a full eighteen years.]

[At his unluckiest moment.]

[The door opened.]

[A beam of light, as if the world had opened its door, shone on him, and a girl made her entrance in the most dazzling way.]

[She wore luxurious clothes, expensive jewelry, and a fiery red Ferrari was parked outside, like a blazing flame, dazzling and captivating.]

[With the demeanor of a queen, she walked towards the unnoticed corner.]

"Ricardo, we're running out of time, do we still need to participate in the activity?"

[Nono said in a clear, cold tone, her voice faint, spreading throughout the entire auditorium, every student could clearly hear what she was saying.]
