That was such a sudden question.

Tang Li was completely unprepared.

"Can't an older brother accompany his younger sister for a lifetime?"

Without figuring out how to respond without hurting his feelings, Tang Li did not give a clear answer.

Lu Zhixing, however, wouldn't allow her to avoid the question, and stated directly:

"I want to change to a legitimate and legal identity so I can spend the rest of my life with you."

Tang Li lowered his head:

"Being an older brother is both reasonable and legal."

“But I don’t want to be controlled by others, and I don’t want you to be controlled by others either.” Lu Zhixing turned completely to the side.

In fact, Tang Li understood everything.

In this world, there is only one identity that can be legally and legitimately favored: husband and wife.

Tang Li originally wanted to give him some time to calm down, until he was willing to open up about his feelings, so that the two of them could face it together.

But Lu Zhixing was acting very strangely today.

It was as if something was imminent.

This forced Tang Li to ask:

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you tonight?"

He must have been kept out of the Scumbag's house by the ball, which is why he hasn't come in yet.

When he came in, he looked very strange; something important must have happened tonight.

Otherwise, given his composure, he wouldn't be so eager for a result in this situation.

Lu Zhixing's eyes darted around and he said in a low voice:

"Tangtang, there's something I've always wanted to tell you."

Could it be...?

Want to confess your feelings?

Tang Li suddenly felt a little lost, and her hand unconsciously went to the handlebars, as if she was ready to run away at any moment.

Seeing this, Lu Zhixing grabbed her wrist:

"I've thought about it. This matter can't be delayed any longer. I must tell you what's on my mind."

It seems like she really is going to confess her feelings.

Tang Li struggled twice but couldn't break free.

If you can't escape it, you can only face it bravely.

Tang Li spoke first:

"Fourth Brother, Lin Yiyun always says I'm ruthless and not kind enough, but you should know what kind of person I am. Unless I have no other choice, I won't hurt others."

The meaning is very clear.

If you really want to confess your feelings, then don't blame me for rejecting you and hurting you.

Lu Zhixing's lips curled up slightly:

"I know Tangtang is the kindest person, she would never want to hurt Fourth Brother, right?"

Well...

Understanding it from this perspective is not impossible.

But that really wasn't her intention.

Tang Li panicked:

"Fourth Brother, it's very late, I'm so sleepy, I want to go upstairs to sleep."

Lu Zhixing checked the time; it was indeed getting late.

If I don't go back to sleep by 3 a.m., it will be dawn.

"Give me five minutes, and then go to sleep."

Five minutes!

Tang Li stared at Lu Zhixing in disbelief before quickly dodging away.

Five minutes, three hundred seconds.

A normal person speaks at a rate of 200 words per minute.

A thousand-word speech can be delivered in five minutes.

It's just a confession of feelings, does it really need to go on and on like this?

There's probably a lot of sentimental stuff in there.

No, no, no.

Tang Li dreaded these kinds of situations the most; they were both awkward and made her feel completely lost.

To escape, she had no choice but to resort to her old trick, clutching her stomach and crying out, "Fourth Brother, this time my stomach really hurts. It must be because the wind blew on it a little too cold, causing an upset stomach."

An upset stomach is something you can't tolerate.

After all, everyone has to relieve themselves sometimes.

Lu Zhixing got out of the car and opened the car door for her:

"Let's go upstairs."

Tang Li pretended all the way to the hotel entrance, but in her heart she was really regretting not going home to sleep.

If she had known Lu Zhixing would pull this stunt, she would have preferred to go back and face her own brother, Tang Sanyuan, who was just like Tang Sanzang and could never stop nagging.

Fortunately, from the moment she got out of the car and into the elevator until she returned to her room, Lu Zhixing did not force her to continue talking.

Tang Li wanted to block him at the door:

"Fourth Brother, going to the toilet is a bit embarrassing. Why don't you go back to your room first?"

Lu Zhixing pointed to the room opposite:

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Tang Li gave an awkward laugh, quickly closed the door, and then hid in the room to stall for time.

The first ten minutes were fine.

Lu Zhixing did not disturb them.

At 3:20 a.m., Lu Zhixing sent a WeChat message asking, "Is your stomach feeling any better?"

Tang Li threw her phone far away and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, pretending to be dead.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhixing knocked on the door, knocking lightly twice before stopping.

Tang Li then received a message on WeChat:

"Tangtang, I've prepared some porridge and medicine for you. I left them at the door. Come out and get them."

A few minutes later, seeing that Tang Li hadn't come out, Lu Zhixing sent another message:

"I'll wait two more minutes. If you don't come out in two minutes, I'll go to the front desk to get the key and tell them that my girlfriend has a stomachache and may have fainted in the room."

Hmph!

Threaten her!

Tang Li angrily threw her phone onto the pillow. "I'm not scared!"

but!

It seems a bit unfair to increase the workload of the receptionist so late at night.

With the mindset of not wanting to cause trouble for others, Tang Li pretended to clutch her stomach and opened the door. Sure enough, there was porridge and medicine placed at the door, but Lu Zhixing was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Li went to the opposite room and took a look. He heard the sound of water running in Lu Zhixing's room, and Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhixing is a germaphobe; the first thing he does when he comes back from outside is to take a shower and change his clothes.

I was busy for a while after getting off the plane today, so I guess I'm taking a shower now.
