Helian Shi's threat was obvious, but Lu Qing couldn't bear to put down the bowl of noodles, so she could only silently lower her head and hide behind Chu Qianjin, then slurp the noodles up in big mouthfuls.

Hmph! I'll eat it even if you don't give it to me!

Lu Qingqing could see it clearly; Helian Shi was obviously plotting against her third brother.

She won't listen to any threats.

Helian Shi's face was somewhat dark:

"Ah Jin, this is the noodles I brought you. Is it appropriate for you to give it to someone else right away?"

"What do you mean 'other people'! Qingqing is my sister, what's inappropriate about that!"

Chu Qianjin hadn't noticed Helian Shi's unusual mood yet; seeing Lu Qing eating with relish, his eyes were full of doting affection.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"

Lu Qing thought to herself, if she ate too slowly, Helian Shi might just snatch the noodles away.

It's safer to keep food in your stomach.

Lu Qing finished the soup and noodles, and after finishing, he even provocatively turned the bowl upside down towards Helian Shi, making Helian Shi's face even uglier.

His eyes widened, and Lu Qing immediately hid behind Chu Qianjin:

"Third Brother, your friend glared at me. Is he angry because I ate his noodles?"

Chu Qianjin looked at Helian Shi, whose expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book.

"You're mistaken. Why would I glare at you!"

Helian Shi had a big smile on his face, but his back teeth were clenched tightly.

Chu Qianjin patted Lu Qing's head:

"It's just a bowl of noodles. Helian isn't that stingy. Besides, he brought it to me in the first place. It doesn't matter whether you eat it or I eat it."

Lu Qing: "Thank you, Brother Helian!"

"Third Brother, I'm full and want to sleep. Let's go back!"

Chu Qianjin smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

"Helian, I'll take my sister home now. See you later!"

Helian Shi wanted to say something, but Lu Qing pulled Chu Qianjin and they started running:

"Third Brother, hurry up, I'm so sleepy!"

Where Chu Qianjin couldn't see, Lu Qing gave Helian Shi a provocative look.

Helian Shi gritted his teeth:

"You brat, you just wait!"

On the way home, Lu Qing asked Chu Qianjin:

"Third Brother, who is this Helian Shi? How do you know him?"

Chu Qianjin: "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Lu Qing: "He's a bit fierce, I don't like him."

Chu Qianjin smiled and said, "Is Helian fierce? I don't think so!"

“I’ve known him for several years. Back then, I had just become a forensic doctor and was almost strangled to death by the murderer while investigating a case. He was the one who saved me!”

"Later I found out that he was Helian Xin's brother. Helian Xin is the female detective you just met. I got along quite well with both of them."

Lu Qing: "Don't you think Helian Shi is acting a little strange?"

Chu Qianjin was taken aback: "Is something wrong? I don't think so!"

“He’s a really good person. He was worried that I might get into danger again, so he often taught me some Taekwondo and self-defense techniques.”

"Why do you feel that something is wrong with him?" Chu Qianjin asked with some concern.

He knew that Lu Qing was very accurate in judging people's appearances. If she said that Helian Shi had a problem, then he could no longer have any contact with Helian.

Thinking about this, he was still a little reluctant to part with his friend.

Fortunately, Lu Qing didn't say anything, he just shook his head:

"I looked at his face, and there was nothing wrong with him. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive!"

Lu Qing didn't dare tell Chu Qianjin that she couldn't see Helian Shi's face at all.

Helian Shi might not even be human.

He had no ill intentions towards Chu Qianjin, and Lu Qing didn't want to say it and upset Chu Qianjin.

After returning home, Lu Qing went straight to her room to sleep.

She was busy until late at night, and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the bed, but she soon woke up from her dream.

"You brat, wake up!"

Helian Shi's voice rang in his ears, and Lu Qing was suddenly awakened.

What are you doing here? What do you want?

Seeing this guy in her dream still made Lu Qing shudder, but with her third brother not around, she had nowhere to hide.

Helian Shi approached Lu Qing step by step, looking as if he wanted to devour her:

"You brat, how dare you try to drive a wedge between Ah Jin and me? You're asking for it!"

Lu Qing swallowed hard and retorted with a forced smile:

"I didn't try to sow discord among you; you were the one who scared me first!"

Helian Shi slapped Lu Qing's side, the force of his palm shaving off a section of her hair.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then anger overwhelmed her fear:

"You actually dared to lay a hand on me!!"

"You inhuman bastard, if you have the guts, kill me! If Third Brother knew you were bullying me like this, he would definitely cut ties with you!"

Helian Shi was furious and slapped Lu Qing with his palm, but he didn't dare to hit Lu Qing directly.

"You brat, if it weren't for the fact that you're Ah Jin's sister, I would have killed you!"

After Lu Qing realized that Helian Shi wouldn't dare to kill her, she wasn't so afraid anymore.

"Heh~" she sneered, her eyes filled with disdain.

"You despicable and shameless scoundrel, my third brother would never like you!"

Helian Shi immediately broke down: "You're talking nonsense! Ah Jin will fall in love with me again sooner or later!"

"Impossible!" Lu Qing retorted sharply.

"You don't know anything about my past with A-Jin, so what makes you say that?" Helian Shi said angrily.

"Just because Third Brother dotes on me, you keep saying you like him, but not only can you not extend that love to everything he does, you even come here to threaten me. If Third Brother finds out about this, do you think he'll be upset?"

Faced with Lu Qing's questioning, Helian Shi was speechless.

Lu Qing continued his pursuit of victory:

"See? You knew everything, yet you still did it. Do you really care about Third Brother?"

"What you feel for him isn't love, but covetousness and control!"

Helian Shi's eyes trembled slightly, a hint of bewilderment and helplessness appearing in them, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I...I really made a mistake!"

Lu Qing nodded seriously: "Yes! You're wrong, terribly wrong, ridiculously wrong!"

"Then tell me, what do I have to do to truly love him!"

Upon hearing Helian Shi's words, Lu Qing almost thought he had a mental breakdown.

After a moment of stunned silence, she realized what was happening and immediately said in a serious tone:

"First and foremost, you're not allowed to scare me anymore! Otherwise, I'll definitely tell my third brother and make him stay far away from you!"

Helian Shi thought for a moment, then frowned and said:

"I'll agree as long as you stop taking the things I gave to Ajin."

Lu Qing: "...(╬▔皿▔)╯When did I steal it? It was clearly a gift from my third brother!"

"Third Brother never eats late-night snacks, and you still buy him food in the middle of the night. You're forcing him, not trying to please him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing saw Helian Shi produce a small notebook and a brush pen from somewhere and start taking notes.

"Ah Jin doesn't eat late-night snacks, so don't buy him food in the middle of the night next time!"

Lu Qing inexplicably felt that Helian Shi was kind of... cute at this moment!

"You've known Third Brother for so long, how come you didn't know he doesn't eat late-night snacks?" Lu Qing asked, full of doubt.

Helian Shi pursed his lips and said:

“I fall into a deep sleep every ten days. When I wake up, I forget what happened before, and I only remember that I need to find Ah Jin, so I have to write it down.”

"Huh??" Lu Qing was shocked.

"Helian Shi, what exactly are you?"

Helian Shi remained silent for a moment before answering:

"What am I? I don't really know."
