Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Xiaochi is my brother
A very patient sentence fell into Sheng Baili's ears.
She clearly understood every word, but when they were put together, it seemed like she didn't recognize Chinese.
The girl's slightly open lips opened wider and wider, her chin almost dropped to the ground in shock, her obsidian eyes trembled, her face full of disbelief.
"Xiao, Xiaochi is my brother."
Sheng Baili murmured in disbelief, his eyes blank, his soul seemed to have left his body, even his brain stopped working.
"......"
What is that little head thinking about?
Lu Zhouyan gently scratched the secretary's straight nose and said with a smile, "Lili, breathe."
Sheng Baili then realized that she was so surprised that her breathing stopped for more than ten seconds...
Slowly coming to his senses, Sheng Baili couldn't help but confirm again and again, "Really, Boss, Xiaochi is really my brother"
"Um."
【Le, now the male protagonist has really become a pirate brother. 】
Sheng Baili: "...QwQ"
I finally understood how Koike felt about winning the lottery.
No wonder she and Xiaochi have such a good impression and relationship.
Sheng Baili thought of the photo of a family of three in Xiaochi’s circle of friends.
She was attracted to him the first time she saw the photo and was very jealous. It was quite strange to think about it.
It is hard to tell whether it is the bond of blood or the mysterious spiritual connection, everything is so coincidental that it is unbelievable.
The feeling of joy spread belatedly. Although it was a cold winter day, the tip of my heart was blooming like the first flowers of spring, gorgeous and eye-catching.
She has a real home now!
The happy smile on Sheng Baili's face grew bigger and bigger, and her beautiful eyes sparkled.
"Boss, have you told Xiaochi and the others?" Sheng Baili asked.
Lu Zhouyan: "I'm only telling you now."
Sheng Baili: “Oh.”
The initiative is in Sheng Baili's hands. She can choose for herself how to meet her biological parents instead of being a passive recipient.
Surprised, Sheng Baili hugged Lu Zhouyan excitedly.
"Thank you, boss, for telling me this news. I am very happy."
Lu Zhouyan: “Yeah.”
Sheng Baili rushed back to the room with his cell phone in hand, scratching his head as he pondered over what to say.
I think Koike will be happy to know the truth.
My parents look very kind and will probably accept me.
She seems to be a good kid, she won't abandon her...
[Don't be afraid, you are such a great kid, how could anyone not want you! ]
Haicha was sensitive to the host's inner uneasiness.
Beautiful, brave, and straightforward are Haicha's first impression of Sheng Baili. From the outside, her host looks like a spoiled young lady who grew up in a honey pot, but the truth is just the opposite.
Sheng Baili is an orphan who grew up alone in an orphanage. Although she loves to laugh and is sensible, and looks like a healthy girl both physically and mentally, the lack of love in her childhood often makes her feel worried and insecure.
The long period of lonely dormitory life since entering the book inevitably made the host's heart a little fragile, which gave Zhuang Fang an opportunity to take advantage of.
After releasing a little kindness, the host followed her.
Haicha sighed and continued to encourage the host.
[Have some confidence in yourself. The male protagonist likes you so much, so why wouldn't Koike's family accept you? 】
Sheng Baili took two deep breaths and sent a message to Xiaochi.
[Bai Liya: Xiaochi Xiaochi. 】
The other side responded quickly.
【Not late: Yes, I'm here. 】
【Not late: What's wrong?】
Sheng Baili briefly explained how he had been kidnapped.
Because this was not the point and she didn't want to make a bad impression, she just wanted to pass by quickly, but she didn't expect Koike to react so strongly.
[Not late: When was I kidnapped by Zhuang Fang?...Xiao Li, are you okay now? How are you feeling?]
[Not late: I know some very good psychiatrists, I can help you make appointments with a few of them. Go and see which one you like tomorrow.]
[Not late: The car can come directly to pick you up to go to the hospital tomorrow...Oh, by the way, Xiaoli, where are you living now?]
A series of messages came, and seeing that Sheng Baili did not reply, Xiao Chi was so worried that he could not wait any longer and immediately made a phone call.
The call was connected.
"Hello, Xiaoli." Seeing her answer the phone, Chi Dao breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are you now? Do you need me to come over and accompany you?"
Koike: "Such a big thing should have been told to me earlier."
There was a hint of blame in his tone, but more of concern.
Sheng Baili: "It's alright now. My boss took me away from there. I'm staying in Linwan Mansion now."
Fearing that he might worry, Sheng Baili said cheerfully, "I didn't suffer much. I was just taken to the mountains for two days and then I came out. I'm fine now, and there's no need to hire a psychiatrist for me."
Koike: “Really?”
Koike: "No need to be so stubborn."
Sheng Baili clenched his teeth and inexplicably felt the urge to cry.
It's unbelievable that she has such a good brother.
God still loves her.
When he spoke again, although Sheng Baili tried hard to make his voice sound calm, Xiaochi still noticed something was wrong due to his slightly nasal tone and a hint of crying.
Koike: "Did I make you sad?"
Xiaochi: "Sorry, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't be unhappy."
Xiaochi: "Xiao Li, where do you want to go for the New Year? You helped me draw a reward for a month's paid vacation. In return, I'd like to invite you out for fun."
The warm and gentle words are like a spring breeze, gently soothing a tense and uneasy heart.
Sheng Baili tightened his grip on the phone, and his throat suddenly choked and he couldn't speak.
Xiaochi: "Don't you want to talk?"
Xiaochi: "It's okay, how about we chat via message?"
Sheng Baili: "No, no, I want to speak."
The soft voice was tinged with a hint of crying. Sheng Baili held the speaker of the phone with his hand, held it farther away, took a few deep breaths, and then wiped the tears from his eyes.
When Xiaochi saw her talking, he coaxed her patiently.
"Well, I'm listening to what Xiaoli wants to say."
After saying this, both sides fell into silence, and only the faint sound of breathing could be heard.
After a while, Sheng Baili adjusted his mood and spoke in a low voice.
"Xiaochi...why are you so nice to me?"
Koike has a gentle personality and good temper. He is kind to everyone and has a gentle and calm smile on his face.
Different from Lu Zhouyan's cold and distant smile.
Koike does not make people feel difficult to approach. He is like a tolerant and patient neighbor brother who always takes good care of everyone's emotions.
Sheng Baili couldn't explain how they became so close, but by the time they realized it, they were already very good friends.
Koike: "Am I good to you?"
Hearing this question, there was a chuckle from the other end of the phone.
Xiaochi: "Xiao Li, maybe you don't realize that you have many advantages, such as kindness, generosity, cuteness, humor, innocence..."
Koike's voice was a little softer, but every word he spoke was extremely sincere and had the power to soothe people's hearts.
Xiaochi: "I treat you well because you deserve it. You don't need to feel any psychological burden. Not all emotions in this world can be explained clearly."
Koike: “We are friends, aren’t we?”
Sheng Baili blinked very slowly, and tears welled up in his bright pupils.
Xiao Chi wanted to say something, but Sheng Baili's next words made him unable to calm down for a long time.
Sheng Baili: "The boss checked my background. I am not Zhuang Fang's daughter. I, I am the child of the Chi family..."
The phone fell silent again, and Sheng Baili pursed her lips and called out a name in a mosquito-like voice.
"Brother, brother."
......
It was almost noon and Lu Zhouyan was cooking in the kitchen.
After Sheng Baili hung up the phone, he covered his face in the room and thought for a long time before he opened the door and walked out.
Sheng Baili leaned against the door, his eyes fixed on the man's arms, where veins bulged as he flipped the pot.
Lu Zhouyan glanced at her, saw that her expression was not right, and guessed the reason.
"Tell Koike."
Sheng Baili hummed softly.
Maybe because he just finished crying, he is now in a docile and gentle state, and looks particularly obedient.
Lu Zhouyan brought over a cup of hot milk tea from somewhere.
The lines of his fingers were cold and sharp, and his knuckles shone with a cold white light like jade. The milk tea seemed to have become much smaller in his hands.
Lu Zhouyan said to her in a coaxing tone, "Are you hungry? You can eat some snacks in the cupboard first. It will take about half an hour to eat. Go play on the sofa for a while first."
Sheng Baili agreed, and went to lie down on the sofa with the milk tea in his hand.
She turned on the TV and hugged a pillow. Because of her period, her stomach began to hurt. Sheng Baili lowered her head and gulped down big gulps of milk tea.
It is her favorite combination of buffalo milk and taro puree, with a rich milky flavor and a dense texture.
When I was traveling in G city before, Sheng Baili often drank this.
Seeing the secretary sleeping lazily on the sofa, Lu Zhouyan withdrew his gaze.
You can tell she's not feeling well. Every movement she makes is slow, like a hibernating bear.
Lu Zhouyan cooked faster.
"beep--"
The cell phone on the table vibrated.
The caller was Shen Qiuli.
Lu Zhouyan put the phone to his ear and answered the call.
"Hey Zhou Yan." Shen Qiuli asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Zhouyan: "Cooking."
The food that Lu Zhouyan cooked was delicious, but he himself did not have a strong appetite, so in order to save time, he always asked his aunt to come over to cook. It is not difficult to guess why he cooked for himself at this critical moment.
Shen Qiuli got straight to the point: "Is it really worth it to go through so much trouble for a woman?"
"I know you are deeply in love now, but don't lose your mind for a woman." Shen Qiuli accused him without distinguishing right from wrong.
"It's not enough that you didn't have dinner with me on New Year's Eve and went out to look for a woman. Your grandpa was so worried about you these days, but you didn't come back to see him." Shen Qiuli frowned and said disapprovingly. "These days, Lu Jiayu has been paying attention to your grandpa. You should have a sense of crisis, right?"
Shen Qiuli: "There are so many young children. Although the old man favors you the most now, you are not a biological child of the family after all. Don't be too reckless in everything. The family doesn't need you."
Lu Zhouyan held the phone a little further away and said in a cold tone, "I'm short of money. How much do you want this time?"
Shen Qiuli: "......"
It was this cold and perfunctory attitude again. In the past, their relationship as mother and son could be considered harmonious, but since Lu Yuanjia appeared, there was only a cold financial relationship left.
Although most of the conversation was originally about Shen Qiuli asking him for money.
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Lu Zhouyan took out his mobile phone and quickly transferred some money to her account.
"That's enough," Lu Zhouyan said in a cold voice, "If you have nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"beep--"
The call was disconnected.
Shen Qiuli looked down at the 10 million yuan that had arrived in the account, curled his lips, and booked a ticket to Antarctica.
Half an hour later, all the dishes were ready on time. Lu Zhouyan washed and dried his hands, and called the secretary to come over for dinner.
"Oh, here I come." Sheng Baili said.
The TV show was quite interesting. She stared at the screen without blinking. When she heard Lu Zhouyan calling her to eat, she sat up.
Lu Zhouyan: "Should I eat first or drink soup first?"
"Eat, eat." Sheng Baili said.
I just had a big cup of milk tea and don't want to drink any more liquids.
Lu Zhou Yansheng enjoyed the meal and looked up at Sheng Baili.
He said "coming, coming", but in fact he didn't move at all.
"......"
Doesn't look too hungry.
Lu Zhouyan let out an almost inaudible sigh.
Next time I should cook earlier and don’t let her eat so many snacks.
"Sheng Baili, come here and wash your hands." Lu Zhouyan called her for the third time.
"Oh, okay, right away." Sheng Baili said.
Two minutes passed and she slowly put on her slippers.
Lu Zhouyan: “..........”
Sheng Baili was moving at a turtle's speed, her stomach was slightly bloated and painful, so she reached out and rubbed it.
Suddenly, the light in front of her eyes was blocked. A tall and straight figure stood in front of her.
Sheng Baili's eyes followed the long and straight thighs all the way up.
He met Lu Zhou's narrow and long black eyes squarely.
The moment they looked at each other, Lu Zhouyan suddenly smiled softly.
"You're so slow, are you waiting for me to treat you?"
"Little Princess"
Sheng Baili: “…0.0”

"No." Sheng Baili blinked innocently and stopped rubbing his belly. "Boss, I'm going to wash my hands now!"
"Go ahead." Lu Zhouyan said nonchalantly with a smile on his lips.
"Little princess."
Sheng Baili: “…”
Playing tricks on her again!
Sheng Baili covered her ears and glared at him shyly.
"Stop calling me names!"
The man's bony fingers tapped on the edge of the sofa.
Lu Zhouyan: "Then what can I call you, Secretary Sheng?"
Sheng Baili wrinkled his nose, feeling bad, "It feels so strange to call you Secretary Sheng, please don't do that."
"Do you feel strange?" Lu Zhouyan looked at her with his eyes downcast, his black hair scattered in front of his forehead, his eyebrows were deep, and his nose was high.
Lu Zhouyan: "But with Xiaochi as your new brother, I seem to be just your boss."
Sheng Baili: "...No."
"Isn't it?" Lu Zhouyan smiled silently.
"Then why do you only call me boss?"
