Chapter 4 The Fourth Brother I've Never Met
After washing his hands in the restroom, Lu Cheng tidied up his hair in front of the mirror, which he thought looked cool, before coming out again.
As soon as I came out, I saw my older brother, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, holding his phone close to his mother's face, smiling broadly.
"Big brother! When did you get back? I didn't see you earlier." Lu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward in a few steps, intending to give his older brother a big hug.
To his surprise, his older brother simply stepped aside, perfectly avoiding his passionate embrace.
Lu Cheng stumbled and almost fell, looking aggrieved. "Big brother, why are you like this? Don't you miss your good little brother? I miss you so much."
Lu Xun put away her phone, glanced at Lu Cheng who was dressed in a flashy manner, and said, "Your quick wit hasn't changed at all. Do you miss me, or do you want me to give you pocket money?"
Lu Cheng's eyes darted around for a moment, then he said without hesitation, "Big brother, what are you saying? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's only interested in money? Of course I miss you. You said you're always filming and not home, so isn't it normal for me, your own brother, to miss you?"
As Lu Cheng spoke, he forced a smile.
Lu Xun nodded with interest. "Really? Your second sister is often away filming and not at home, and your third brother is also flying all over the country with work all the time. Why don't you miss them?"
"Uh, well... of course I miss them too, but they're not home. If they were in front of me, I would definitely tell them how much I miss them." Lu Cheng put his hands on his hips, as if there was no question he couldn't answer.
Yin Song clapped twice. "That's great! Qi Qi and A Yuan will be back tonight. You'll have to repeat what you just said in front of them, and you have to say it with great emotion, not just give a perfunctory answer."
"Huh???" Lu Cheng's mouth dropped open. "They're going home tonight?? That pair of freaks actually... Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!"
Before Lu Cheng could finish speaking, his own mother smacked him on the forehead again.
"You have no manners! Those are your second sister and third brother. Stop giving the family members nicknames. If I hear it again, you'll be punished according to family rules." Yin Song didn't hold back when disciplining the mischievous kids in the family.
Her children each have different personalities, and in the process of educating them, she has learned to analyze specific problems in specific ways.
For someone like the fourth brother, you can't just use soft tactics; you have to use hard ones.
Although Lu Cheng was a bit mischievous, he never held grudges for the things his family did to discipline him. When he was little, he would fight with his older siblings and be beaten so badly that he would cry loudly. But just two hours later, he would be comforted by a few small cakes from them. Once he was in a good mood, he would happily call out "good sister" and "good brother" again, completely forgetting how he had been beaten up.
Now that I'm 16, I'm in the middle of puberty, the most arrogant time of my life, and I've become even more cunning than when I was a child.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, alright..." Lu Cheng rubbed his "injured" forehead and changed the subject, "With so many people home today, shouldn't we cook a few more good dishes tonight?"
"Don't worry about that. Just eat whatever the kitchen makes."
After Yin Song finished speaking, he walked up to the nanny and gave her a few instructions. The nanny immediately nodded and soon brought out a plate from the kitchen.
The plate contained the fried chicken that Lu Cheng had been longing to eat.
Lu Cheng pointed at the fried chicken, looked at his older brother, and then at his mother, "W-how come it's so fast?"
Lu Xun raised her hand and patted her little brother's head. "Mom prepared it a long time ago. Knowing you would be back this afternoon, I had the kitchen make it in advance and put it in the insulated box."
Lu Cheng's eyes immediately welled up with tears, overwhelmed with emotion. She ran over and hugged Yin Song's arm, babbling incoherently, "Mom! My dear mom! I love you so much, Mom! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to beat a dog, I will never catch a chicken!"
"Go away! Don't get too close to me, it's hot!" Yin Song shooed his son away like a fly. "I told you to dye your hair back, but you didn't listen. Stop saying such mushy things. Hurry up and eat the fried chicken you wanted. Even eating can't shut you up."
"..." Lu Cheng was moved for two seconds, then her emotions shattered instantly.
Okay, it's still his original mother.
But he was still very happy.
He sat down at the table and ate heartily, his eyebrows beaming with joy.
"What a character," Lu Xun muttered to himself as he watched from the side.
Xiao Cheng and Zhao Zhao, these two have completely different personalities.
One is so cheeky you want to punch her, the other is so soft and sweet you want to kiss her.
Lu Xun didn't want to be hypocritical, thinking that he hadn't shown enough concern for his younger brother, so he pulled out a chair and sat down next to Lu Cheng, asking about his recent situation.
"I heard you just won the game?" Although Lu Xun rarely went home, she was well aware of the online reports about her younger siblings.
Lu Cheng's team, UPW, is currently first in their group and has the highest points in the Autumn Regular Season of "Peak God of War".
Lu Cheng, still chewing food, said, "Yeah, the game I played in was a comeback victory against all odds."
Lu Xun, unaware of these things, asked curiously, "You, a substitute, still have a chance to play?"
"I'm not just an ordinary substitute." Lu Cheng gulped down two more mouthfuls of water, put down the glass, and said with a smug look on his face, "I'm a genius substitute."
Lu Xun: "..."
Lu Cheng: "If the coach tells me to play, I'll play. It all depends on their arrangements. If it weren't for my young age, I would have been a regular member long ago. I swear, in a year at most, I will definitely become a key player in UPW!"
The boy's eyes shone with a confident fire, and his radiant appearance made Lu Xun, as his older brother, very gratified.
Their family is quite open-minded; the elders never interfere with the path their children choose to take in the future.
At first, Lu Xun thought that Xiao Cheng was just like other children her age, simply enjoying playing games for fun.
Until one day, the child said in front of the whole family that he wanted to play professionally and promised that if he didn't achieve good results, he would never touch games again.
His parents agreed and made the conditions for him to enter the club's youth training camp.
Just a few months later, the coach called his family and said that the boy was exceptionally talented and played better than some of the regular players. However, he was playing a more unorthodox style, relying solely on his excellent skills and lacking teamwork, so he needed some training.
Lu Xun still remembers the coach's effusive praise of his younger brother.
They said that as long as this child is carefully nurtured, given time, he will definitely become a valuable asset to the country.
In terms of values and national interests, how could his parents possibly disagree?
However, each of their children is exceptionally intelligent and excels in their own field, shining brightly in front of the camera.
So, his parents seemed to have gotten used to the talent his fourth brother had developed.
The coach was very excited, while the parents remained calm, displaying an air of "my child is destined to be this excellent."
...
Lu Yinzhao woke up in the room an hour and a half later.
I opened my sleepy eyes and saw the same ceiling as when I woke up in the morning, confirming once again that I was not dreaming.
I thought I would return to the world I knew once I opened my eyes, but it seems I have no choice but to settle down here permanently.
Lu Yinzhao has a good mindset and is very adaptable to unfamiliar environments.
I'm glad I didn't transmigrate into some melodramatic or tragic novel; at least my life won't be threatened in any way.
In such a large family full of celebrities, his first thought was to take the opportunity to get their autographs.
He knew it was superficial.
He's never been in close contact with a celebrity before, and he really wants to experience it from beginning to end.
The thought of having a legitimate and intimate encounter with goddess-like mother Yin Song and movie star brother Lu Xun today filled Lu Yinzhao with joy.
He swore he wasn't a pervert.
It's not his fault that he turned into a two-year-old cub.
Although his body is somewhat restricted, it also makes it easier for him to get close to celebrities.
He's just a two-year-old, so it seems like he can be forgiven for anything he does.
Lu Yinzhao sat up in bed and slowly moved to the edge of the bed.
During the day, the railings of this modular bed are lowered.
So he easily rolled over and climbed off the bed, finding his footing on the ground and standing firmly.
But then another problem arose: the door handles in this house seemed to be designed to be a little higher than ordinary door handles.
He was already shorter than his peers, so he couldn't reach it at all. After trying to reach the height by standing on tiptoe, Lu Yinzhao knew he couldn't do it and quickly gave up on the method.
Lu Yinzhao surveyed the entire bedroom and noticed a round children's chair in the corner near the toilet.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over, bent down, and picked up the small stool.
He used to be able to easily pick up a small stool with one hand, but now he finds it a bit difficult to hug it even with both hands.
He steadily made his way towards the door, step by step, and finally moved the small stool to where he wanted it.
There are always more solutions than problems; if you're not tall enough, you can make up for it with a bench.
Lu Yinzhao carefully climbed onto the stool and stood up. This time, he was able to reach out and grab the doorknob.
With a forceful downward pull, the door lock latch clicked softly, the bolt snapped back quickly, and a small gap appeared in the door.
Because the door opens inwards, Lu Yinzhao had to move the small stool to open it.
The little body quietly climbed down from the stool, and then knelt on the ground and pushed it to the side.
Everything is now complete.
Lu Yinzhao stood up from the ground with considerable pride and patted off non-existent dust from his small hands.
He then quietly opened the door and peeked out halfway. He heard voices coming from the living room, and they were speaking quite rapidly.
He quickly discovered who the voice belonged to.
"No way, I'm really impressed. What kind of equipment did you release? A funeral shroud?"
"I told you to stay here, not to leave the game running. Are you just standing there waiting for a delivery, buddy?"
"Oh my, you beat it so badly it's more mushy than the pig's trotters our housekeeper makes, and you expect me to praise you?"
"Okay, I'll praise you. Your skills are simply amazing, your operation is incredible, and your ability has reached its peak. Even the number one player in the Chinese server would have to praise you highly."
"Kid, you played really well, but listen to your older brother's advice, next time don't play anymore, just surrender."
Lu Yinzhao: "..."
Listening to the uninterrupted flow of the words, Lu Yinzhao mentally gave the other person a thumbs up.
This mouth is really useful; I can borrow it sometime.
This "master of yin and yang" who can curse wildly even while playing games at home must only be his fourth brother, whom he has yet to officially meet.
