Chapter 526 An unexpected encounter?
Lu Mingfei arrived at Shinjuku Station an hour later.

After getting off the train, they walked towards the exit without looking back. It was the subway rush hour, and as one of the stations with the largest daily throughput on the JR Yamanote Line, the exit of Shinjuku Station was crowded with students wearing JK uniforms and young and middle-aged white-collar workers.

In order to avoid being too conspicuous, Lu Mingfei first stored all his luggage in the luggage locker outside the station. Ling also deliberately kept a distance of more than ten meters behind Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi. The three of them mixed in with the crowd leaving the station.

After all, no one knows if there are any members of the Snake Eight Clans near the station, and the combination of oriental and European faces is likely to attract a second look.

After leaving the station smoothly, the three of them found a McDonald’s near the east exit of Shinjuku Station. Lu Mingfei went up to the dining area on the second floor, looked around, and found an empty seat. Xia Mi and Ling sat down next to Lu Mingfei.

“You found this place so quickly? Junior brother, you seem to be very familiar with Shinjuku.”

Sitting next to him, Yaji sent a QQ message to Lu Mingfei using her mobile phone.

Unlike what she wore on the plane, she had completely changed her outfit at this moment. She wore a denim jacket over a white T-shirt, ripped jeans on the lower body, and a hard tennis hat on her head. With her shoulder-length hair, she looked cool and sassy, ​​which was far from her usual style.

Even Lu Mingfei had to observe for a long time before he recognized that the tomboy-dressed girl in the crowd was actually Aki. He couldn’t help but sigh that all pretty girls are good at dressing up. Even if Aki stood in front of Professor Mans in this outfit, it would probably take the professor some time to recognize her.

Xia Mi tapped the buttons on her phone: “Senior Sister, your dress looks great.”

“I just bought it at the store next to the station when I left… After all, someone might be tracking me, so I changed my clothes.”

Aki felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and immediately changed the subject: “Is there anyone following you?”

“Probably not.” Lu Mingfei also sent a message in reply, “I made a special trip around a few circles before coming here.”

Even at such a short distance, we still need to communicate by mobile phone. This is out of caution. After all, we don’t know if there is anyone following us. Communicating in Japanese lacks confidentiality, and communicating in English or Chinese would be too abrupt.

Chat software solves these pain points. A few people create a QQ group to communicate. From an outsider’s perspective, they are just strangers playing with their phones.

The almighty penguin.

Lu Mingfei: “Sister, how did you escape?”

Aki: “Well…it’s related to my Word Spirit, it’s not important.”

Lu Mingfei: “Oh.”

Zero: “Do you have any idea about this matter? The Tokyo Branch Executive Bureau suddenly took Professor Mance and others away.”

Aki: “Probably a little. The Tokyo Branch Executive Bureau and Kassel College are not actually subordinate to each other, but cooperative. This matter is a bit complicated, so I won’t explain it for now. Generally, when the college sends people to visit Japan, they have to send a letter to the Executive Bureau here in advance.”

Aki: “Because we are just here for tourism this time and have no intention of visiting the Tokyo branch, I did not contact Norma to send them a letter. Maybe this is the reason why they misunderstood. But this shouldn’t cause the Snake Eight Clan to make such a big move…”

Lu Mingfei nodded. He could probably guess the reasons why the Eight Snakes mobilized their forces. A few months ago, Genji Heavy Industries stopped providing heavy equipment to Su Energy, which was a signal that they had begun to excavate the White King’s bones.

At this critical moment, a professor from Kassel College and his team suddenly dropped into Neon without any notice. The Eight Snake Families would of course feel guilty and wonder if their little tricks had been discovered by Kassel College.

These are actually small misunderstandings, but how long it will take to resolve these small misunderstandings is an unknown.

After all, Professor Mans said that you came to Japan with an elite team just for tourism… It is indeed difficult for the people of the Snake Eight Families to believe it easily.

However, it seems that the Sheqi Eight Families did not carry out the search force of sealing off the entire city as before. This means that the Sheqi Eight Families are not sure about the purpose of Professor Mans’s visit and have not thought about tearing their faces with Kassel College for the time being.

But then again, compared to the future crisis, there is obviously a current problem in front of them that needs to be solved by Yokogaki.

Xia Mi: “By the way, Senior Sister Aki, Senior Brother, I and Zero are all underage, so we can’t check into a hotel alone. We need to be accompanied by an adult. Since you, Senior Sister, weren’t taken away by them, can you take us to a hotel?”

Aki: “I’m afraid not. My identity information is definitely under surveillance now. If I go to check in at the hotel, it will definitely be exposed.”

Lu Mingfei: “Then don’t we really have to sleep on the street?”

Aki: “Well… if it really doesn’t work out, you can try to find a part-time job at the Kabuki Hall. It’s nearby. With your conditions, it shouldn’t be difficult to get a job with food and accommodation.”

Lu Mingfei: “…”

Senior sister, you are really good at judging people.

Aki: “Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Shinjuku is a tourist attraction with a lot of tourists, so the supervision of accommodation is quite strict. If we take the train to a more peripheral area, like Arakawa or Adachi, there should be many comics internet cafes that will allow you to check in.”

Aki: “It’s just that it’s far from Shinjuku District and Koto District where Genji Heavy Industries is located. It will be troublesome to come here later.”

Lu Mingfei didn’t mind living farther away, after all, having a place to live was better than having no place to live. As for finding Eri, the Sheqi Eight Clan were now heavily blocked, and he probably wouldn’t be able to enter Genji Heavy Industries for a while.

If you think about it this way, wouldn’t it have been better if Lu Mingfei had been taken away by Yuan Zhisheng along with Professor Mans and the others?

Lu Mingfei still remembers where Eri’s room is. And the little devil himself said that he would let him have a harem line. As long as he joins Genji Heavy Industries, is he still afraid that the little devil will not help?
Lu Mingfei: “In that case, shall we take the tram first?”

After agreeing on the next arrangements, the few people decided to leave McDonald’s first, return to Shinjuku Station to pick up the stored luggage, and then look for a place to stay for tonight.

……

“We’ve arrived!”

A JR Yamate Inner Loop Line train stopped at Shinjuku Station, and the wind was howling. The train door opened with a ding, and the crowds of people immediately filled the platform.

Su Xiaoqiang followed the crowd out of the carriage, lowered her head and carefully put her camera into her camera bag while queuing in front of the elevator on the exit platform. Behind her, Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen were discussing which of the amulets they bought at Sensoji Temple today was better looking and which one would be a better gift for Lu Mingfei, and it would be best if they didn’t give too much.

Liu Miaomiao likes the academic amulets with cherry blossom patterns, while Chen Wenwen thinks the round ones are prettier.

Stepping into the elevator, Su Xiaoqiang consciously stood on the far left side of the elevator. At this time, Liu Miaomiao’s questioning voice came from behind her.

“Which one do you think looks better?” Liu Miaomiao asked.

“I think Ryouen-shou is the best looking.”

After putting away the camera, Su Xiaoqiang turned around, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if with an indescribable smile.

“Miaomiao, didn’t you ask me this afternoon which amulet to buy as a gift to that guy? I said the Yuuki amulet is pretty and I’m sure that guy will like it.”

Liu Miaomiao blushed slightly when she heard this, and patted Su Xiaoqiang lightly with her hand as if in a reproach: “Qiangqiang, you always make such jokes…”

“I’m not kidding. I was obviously giving you advice seriously. Who knew you were so thin-skinned, Miaomiao? You blushed when I asked you to buy something.” “But we and Mingfei are already… we shouldn’t need that kind of thing, right?” Liu Miaomiao replied hesitantly.

Su Xiaoqiang gently shook his fingers in front of him and said, “No, the meanings of Liangyuan Shou and Yuanjie Shou are different. When you use Yuanjie Shou, you pray that you can find your loved one as soon as possible, while when you use Liangyuan Shou, you pray that lovers will not separate. Didn’t Wenwen listen to my advice and buy a Liangyuan Shou?”

Chen Wenwen, who was called out, looked a little embarrassed: “Is that what it means? I thought the Liangyuan Guardian was really pretty, so I bought one.”

After hearing Su Xiaoqiang’s explanation of the meaning of Liangyuanshou, Liu Miaomiao felt a little regretful and thought that she should really buy one.

How about going back and buying one tomorrow? But their schedule this time was actually quite tight. They had already visited Sensoji Temple today and had other destinations to visit later.

“But we are going to Meiji Jingu Shrine in a few days, so it should be sold there too, right?” Liu Miaomiao asked.

Chen Wenwen nodded: “I think they all should have it.”

Hearing this, Liu Miaomiao felt relieved. After all, there wasn’t much else in Tokyo except for various temples and shrines. If she wanted to pray for love or buy amulets, she could go anywhere.

Soon the elevator reached the exit transfer hall, and the three of them swiped their Suica cards to exit Shinjuku Station. It was rush hour, and people were crowded and moving very slowly.

The three of them were already tired from playing today, and they were talking about the interesting things that happened during today’s trip, while discussing the travel plans for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. What should we eat later, what time should we get up tomorrow, which photo you took is the best, should we go to Ginza to buy some nice clothes for Mingfei to bring back…

The three people chatting in Chinese already stood out in the crowd. Coupled with their youthful and lovely looks, they were like a beautiful rainbow in the crowd, attracting countless eyes.

Even the office worker uncle who was numbed by the repetitive life suddenly had a bright look in his eyes the moment he passed by them, and his gaze unconsciously followed their backs and looked back.

While chatting, Chen Wenwen raised her head, took a look, and then uttered “Huh”.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Miaomiao asked when she saw Chen Wenwen’s pace suddenly slowed down.

Chen Wenwen pointed blankly at the luggage storage area not far ahead: “Look at that boy over there, doesn’t he look a bit like Ming Fei?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang raised their heads at the same time and looked forward in the direction of Chen Wenwen’s finger, and indeed they saw a boy.

Because the boy was squatting in front of the locker, the three of them could only see his back. As Chen Wenwen said, if you only look at his back, he does look a bit like their boyfriend…

The boy handed the luggage to a girl next to him. Because the girl was standing sideways, they could see her face clearly. She was probably a few years older than them. She was wearing a very cool denim outfit and looked like a college student. She was a very pretty girl.

Su Xiaoqiang frowned slightly. The more she stared at him, the more she felt that the figure looked like Lu Mingfei… But she changed her mind and dismissed the idea.

How could it be Lu Mingfei… He is still an exchange student at the University of Chicago and will not be back until the end of the month!

Su Xiaoqiang shook his head and denied it firmly: “It does look a bit like Ming Fei, but it’s definitely not him.”

Liu Miaomiao also nodded: “Well… Mingfei is still in the United States. By the way, what time is it there now? Is it daybreak? It seems that we haven’t contacted him for two days. How about calling him tonight? I wanted to call him during the day, but his phone was turned off during the day.”

“Call him before he goes to bed. Eleven o’clock at night in Tokyo is almost nine o’clock in the morning in Chicago. He should be awake by nine o’clock in the morning, right? If he is not awake by nine o’clock in the morning, I will teach him a lesson when I get back!”

As Su Xiaoqiang spoke, she bit her lip and punched in the air, her long hair flying in the wind. But her pretty face and soft punches were really cute. I’m afraid that her punches on Lu Mingfei would not only fail to punish him, but would make him more excited…

…or frightened?
Su Xiaoqiang’s pretty face was stunned. She saw the boy squatting in front of the luggage locker. After taking out all the luggage, he closed the locker door and stood up. He was talking and laughing with the beautiful female college student…

Su Xiaoqiang thought she had seen it wrong, but that smile, that face, that little expression…how could she be wrong? Who else but Lu Mingfei could be so handsome?

Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen’s smiles froze on their faces soon after, obviously they both saw the face of the boy in front of them.

Lu Mingfei had just taken out his checked luggage from the locker. In the area hidden by the locker, Xia Mi and Ling were holding their own suitcases.

“Here, senior sister, your suitcase.” Lu Mingfei opened the door of the last locker and handed the suitcase inside to Aki.

“Thank you, junior brother.” Aki tilted his head and smiled, then took the box.

“You don’t have to be so polite, Senior Sister.”

Lu Mingfei closed the cabinet door with a snap, put on his backpack and stood up: “Let’s go now without further delay. It will take some time to find a comics internet cafe that we can stay in.”

Aki nodded in agreement.

Lu Mingfei was pushing his suitcase and walked out of the luggage storage cabinet. When he looked up, he was met with the shocked and suspicious gazes of Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“!?…@#￥”

The four of them looked at each other, and the three girls’ eyes moved back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Yaji, and they all thought the same thing in their hearts:
“here we go again?!”

Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Why were Miaomiao, the little goddess Wenwen and the other three here…?
Yaji looked puzzled. She naturally recognized that the girl standing in the middle was Su Xiaoqiang. She was also quite surprised to suddenly meet Lu Mingfei’s girlfriend in Tokyo.

But besides being surprised, she also noticed something. That is, looking at the eyes of the other two beautiful girls, it seemed that their relationship with Junior Brother Lu was also a little mysterious?

Her intuition told her that there was something big to eat here.

Xia Mi, who witnessed this scene, suddenly turned around and said to Ling beside her: “Senior Sister Ling, I suddenly have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

Zero said calmly: “What’s the good news?”

“We don’t have to sleep on the street or in a stinky comic book internet cafe tonight.”

“Where’s the bad news?”

“Senior Brother may be having a family crisis.”
