He is now a genuine "points-penniless wretch"!
The fact that I could pull this out meant that it was the last of my savings.
As for the points for the main quest, it will probably be counted as completed only after the teacher finishes grading the papers and releases the results.
"Hmph!" Su Enxi pouted, clearly not satisfied with this "defective product".
Lu Mingfei scratched his head helplessly, and tentatively asked, forcing a smile:
"So... what would you like to order?"
Upon hearing this, Su Enxi's lips instantly curled into a sly smile with a hint of mischief.
Her gaze slowly swept over Ling, Xia Mi, Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and others in the classroom...
Finally, he locked his gaze on Lu Mingfei, and his smile deepened.
Instantly, Lu Mingfei's sixth sense, as a man, began to frantically remind him.
Run!
as predicted--
Su Enxi parted her lips slightly:
"How about..." Her eyes flickered, carrying a hint of ambiguity, "let me join their 'sisterhood,' what do you say?"
Lu Mingfei froze on the spot: "??????"
what? !
My dear Chief of Intelligence, why are you joining in this commotion?!
Do you think you can just casually step into this murky water?!
The four girls in the classroom exchanged glances, their expressions indescribable:
Well, here comes another one to join the fun!
Liu Miaomiao counted on her fingers:
Myself, Su Xiaoqiang, Zero, Xia Mi, Erii, Su Enxi...
And what about that long-legged beauty, Mai Shude, who exudes a powerful, mature aura?
Good heavens! Lu Mingfei, are you collecting stamps here?
Seven—that makes a perfect seven!
Is this a preparation to summon the dragon or a raid group?
Lu Mingfei was also stunned by Su Enxi's sudden "joining application".
He stared intently at Su Enxi's smiling face, trying to find even the slightest hint of mockery in her eyes.
To confirm whether this crazy girl was playing a trick on him again, Lu Mingfei immediately activated [Emotional Manipulation], and his powerful mental energy instantly locked onto Su Enxi!
next second...
Boom! A massive wave of regret instantly overwhelmed Lu Mingfei!
A surge of heat rushed to his forehead, making his cheeks burn.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have preferred to pretend to be blind! Pretending to be confused would have allowed him to get away with it!
Now it's all right... The information he sensed was as clear as if it were engraved in his mind:
There wasn't a trace of jest in Su Enxi's inner turmoil!
Those emotional ripples, a mixture of intense anticipation and trepidation...
This completely points to an undeniable fact.
She is serious!
and……
This feeling is definitely not just simple trust, admiration, or loyalty...
That was clearly... a pure love between a man and a woman, filled with a strong possessiveness and an expectation of intimacy!
Lu Mingfei shut down his abilities as if he had been electrocuted, feeling an itch as if a thousand ants were crawling all over his heart.
He could easily change Su Enxi's "likes".
With just a slight thought, he could manipulate her emotions and subtly diminish her burning passion...
but……
Using this mind-controlling ability on those you trust and rely on?
Just thinking about it makes Lu Mingfei's back teeth ache!
It felt incredibly awkward, even a little disgusting!
But the focus now is...
How should he deal with this situation?
Chapter 122 Su Enxi
Lu Mingfei calmed down.
From beginning to end, he maintained a clear and firm emotional stance towards Su Enxi.
That shows the importance placed on a capable subordinate and the care shown to a loyal one.
The foundation of this affection lies in the immeasurable effort Su Enxi has poured into him and the entire organization over the past few months!
The massive organization left behind by his "brother" was almost entirely maintained by Su Enxi's intelligence and astonishing skills.
Calling her an underground queen wouldn't be an exaggeration.
without any exaggeration.
If it weren't for Su Enxi, who was the pillar of stability, but Lu Mingfei who took over this "family business"!
They'd probably be finished by now!
That is why he showed such "care" for Su Enxi.
It is a partnership based on recognition and reliance, a superior-subordinate relationship based on management and effectiveness, but... it has nothing to do with romantic love.
After the system returned to normal, he specifically asked the system about this matter:
Why do Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai so naturally regard him as their boss after the timeline is rewritten?
The system's response made Lu Mingfei uneasy:
The most fundamental reason is that after spacetime is rewritten.
His "younger brother" no longer exists in this rewritten timeline.
In response, the laws of the universe performed a self-correction, finding someone to fill the position of his younger brother.
And this person was none other than Lu Mingfei.
Besides Lu Mingfei, who is essentially the same as his younger brother, is there a better candidate?
So...
He took the place of his "younger brother" and became the "boss" in their eyes.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's sudden change in expression, Su Enxi blushed, a rare occurrence for her.
"Boss, you observed my inner thoughts just now, didn't you?" she whispered.
"Ahem..." Lu Mingfei tried to explain, "Listen to me, this is for Enxi's own good, after all..."
He had a sudden inspiration and raised his index finger, "After all, paying attention to the mental state of capable subordinates is one of the responsibilities of a superior."
As soon as he spoke, Lu Mingfei saw the blush on Su Enxi's face vanish instantly, leaving her pale.
She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.
At this moment, even if Lu Mingfei didn't use emotions to manipulate his perception.
He could also clearly sense the disappointment emanating from Su Enxi.
Lu Mingfei was also extremely helpless.
If he truly harbored romantic feelings for Su Enxi, that would be one thing, but he didn't!
If this situation isn't handled properly, it could lead to Su Enxi abandoning her responsibilities and running away.
Lu Mingfei didn't want to force her to come back.
At this moment, I was also amazed by the terrifying power of the system to amplify emotions.
The system had only been back for less than three days, yet it had already caused such changes in the people around him.
Finally, Lu Mingfei slowly spoke:
"When you and Mai come to me later, I'll explain everything to you in detail!"
Not only Su Enxi, but also Jiu De Mai's problem needs to be carefully considered.
After all, they were affected by changes in time and space back then.
That's why she was so close to him.
“Okay!” Su Enxi nodded calmly.
From Lu Mingfei's answer, she already knew the answer.
Even knowing that Lu Mingfei wasn't their original boss.
But after working side by side for the past few months, she and Mai have both tacitly acknowledged one fact:
The person in front of them is Lu Mingfei, who can cause them headaches, annoyances, and even occasional clumsiness.
This is far better than the old boss who only gave orders and appeared and disappeared unpredictably.
This is why Su Enxi continues to work for Lu Mingfei even though she knows he is not their original boss.
Unlike the mysterious demeanor of the "boss".
