How did the car accident happen in Chapter 123?
"So crispy! So crispy! Hehehe!"
The adorable little dumpling called out "Uncle" in his unclear speech. The moment Lu Yinzhao picked him up, he drooled and giggled.
"Ah! Xuanxuan still remembers me! Big brother, does she still remember me?" Lu Yinzhao perked up and asked Lu Xun who was coming towards him.
“Before we came, Xiaoxu and I specially prepared a family photo for Xuan’er to study. She seems to like you the most. I told her that this is her uncle, and she remembered it after hearing it a few times,” Lu Xun said with a smile.
Li Xu chimed in, "I think Xuan'er is a bit of a looks-obsessed person. When I take her to play in the neighborhood, she runs over and hugs the legs of any handsome young man she sees. Zhao Zhao, you're quite the handsome guy now too."
"Really? Xuanxuan? Am I handsome?" Lu Yinzhao carried the pretty little dumpling into the house, gently stroking the child's egg-like face with his finger.
"Shuai Susu~" Xuanxuan opened her big, dark eyes, looked up at Lu Yinzhao's face, put her fingers directly into her mouth, and sucked on them in a daze.
"Hahahaha! Xuan'er is already in love with handsome guys at such a young age, what will she be like when she grows up?" Lu Wenyan happened to come over and heard her granddaughter's words, her face beaming with joy.
"Dad!" Lu Yinzhao exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Lu Wenyan.
"Oh! My good son!"
The father and son hadn't seen each other for a while.
After handing Xuanxuan to his older brother, Lu Yinzhao ran over and gave his father a bear hug.
"Zhaozhao, is military training finally over? Are you very tired? Your old man will cook you some delicious dishes today." Lu Wenyan asked his son with concern.
"Thank you, Dad! I think the military training went okay. Look, I even won an award!" Lu Yinzhao opened his backpack and took out the medal for the orienteering team championship.
"Wow! Not bad! Zhao Zhao's physical fitness has improved over the years. Keep it up!" Lu Wenyan took the medal, looked at both sides several times, his eyes full of pride.
A short while later, Lu Qi and Lu Yuan also came downstairs.
Upon seeing Lu Yinzhao, they were all delighted.
"Zhao Zhao, I've missed you so much!" Lu Qi rushed over and hugged Lu Yin Zhao, just like before, ready to kiss her.
However, this time it was blocked by a large hand.
A refined-looking figure appeared before the two of them. "Zhaozhao's all grown up now, honey, can you please be more careful?"
Lu Yinzhao rarely saw her second brother-in-law.
Lu Qi and Jing Chuan got married last October after dating for four years. Now, exactly one year into their marriage, they are enjoying a blissful time together.
Jingchuan is a mature and steady person, but he occasionally shows a childish side in front of Lu Qi, and he is also quite possessive.
Seeing his wife kissing and hugging Lu Yinzhao, he felt a pang of jealousy.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you were still here, hahaha!" Lu Qi laughed a few times, let go of Lu Yinzhao, and then rubbed the boy's fluffy head.
"..."
"I still think of Zhaozhao as a little kid, but in the blink of an eye she's already taller than me," Lu Qi said with emotion.
"Brother-in-law, my sister just hasn't seen me in a long time. We're not usually like this, so please don't mind," Lu Yinzhao explained to Jingchuan.
Jingchuan quickly waved his hand, "Zhaozhao, I know, I was just joking. You are Xiaoqi's brother, which means you are my brother. You don't need to be so polite to me."
Lu Qi smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry about him. Let's get closer, brother and sister. Even if he's my husband, he'll have to step aside today."
"Yes, yes, my dear wife, it was my fault." Jing Chuan looked at the flamboyant and playful woman beside him with doting eyes.
Lu Yinzhao could feel the sweet romance between her second sister and brother-in-law even from the side.
Tsk tsk...
Seeing her second sister marry the person she loves and live such a happy life, Lu Yinzhao was happy for her too.
“Zhaozhao”.
"Third Brother!" Lu Yinzhao finally had some free time to take a good look at his third brother.
After traveling abroad for four or five years, Lu Yuan exuded a down-to-earth and calm demeanor from the inside out.
In his youth, he possessed a sharp and piercing quality; now, it's as if he has seen through many things, gaining a touch of gentleness and solemnity.
Lu Yuan's hairstyle was also different from before. He had grown his hair a little longer, only reaching his shoulders, and now he tied it into a wolf tail, which was indeed the kind of hairstyle that people involved in music and art would have.
Lu Yinzhao and Lu Yuan hugged each other. "When did you return to China?"
"I've only been back for two days."
"Now that you're back, are you planning to leave again?" Lu Yinzhao continued to ask.
"I'm not leaving for now. I need to take care of some work in China, and I probably won't be home often in the future."
"I saw online that you participated in the World Hip Hop Dance Competition abroad. You're amazing now!"
News of Lu Yuan winning a street dance championship abroad had already reached China.
In recent years, Lu Yuan has not participated in any variety shows. He has focused on making music, learning dance, improving his aesthetic sense, and exchanging ideas with world-class artists. He feels very fulfilled and happy.
He didn't win this award overnight; Lu Yuan never stopped pursuing his dream.
Hard work pays off, and he received the medal of honor he desired.
"It's not good enough. I only realized what it means to be out there and understand that there are always people more capable than you."
"Third Brother, don't be modest. I said you're amazing, and you really are amazing. Don't push yourself too hard. If you feel too tired, you can go home and rest anytime. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Lu Yinzhao truly lives up to her reputation as the sweetheart of the whole family. Whether she was a child or now, the words she speaks are always comforting and make everyone feel at ease.
"Where are Mom and Fourth Brother?" Lu Yinzhao looked around and, noticing that someone was missing, couldn't help but ask.
"They're on their way back, they should be here soon..."
The crowd's eyes flickered, some seeming to want to say something but holding back.
Lu Yinzhao found it strange, "On their way back? Where did they go? Where did they come from?"
Knowing she couldn't hide it from Lu Yinzhao, Lu Xun organized her thoughts before speaking, "Xiao Cheng was in a minor car accident last week, and he has a slight fracture in his right forearm. He's going to the hospital for a check-up today, and Mom is with him..."
Lu Yinzhao: "!!!"
"Why didn't you tell me about something this big?" Lu Yinzhao raised his voice, full of surprise and worry.
"You're in military training... Besides, that brat has nothing to do, and he was afraid of bothering you, so he thought he'd tell you slowly when you come back from your leave," Lu Wenyan explained from the side.
"How did the car accident happen? Was Fourth Brother not paying attention while driving?"
That shouldn't be the case; he remembered that Lu Cheng was a pretty good driver.
"Sigh, what else could it be? Stalker chasing our car. In our line of work, these kinds of things are inevitable," Lu Qi said.
"Luckily, the two cars only grazed each other instead of crashing directly. Your fourth brother is also careless; he was playing on his phone in the car, and when the driver slammed on the brakes, his arm hit the car door," Lu Wenyan said.
Even just hearing the description made Lu Yinzhao feel a bit of danger.
His family deliberately said it was a minor car accident, probably because they didn't want him to worry.
Lu Cheng's popularity is incredibly high. Although he has been popular for many years, his competitive performance remains undiminished as he gets older. He is a god-like figure and is considered one of the older active players in the e-sports circle.
There are many people in this circle who want to bring him down, but Lu Cheng has stabilized his position through one international competition after another.
Lu Yinzhao didn't want to speculate on conspiracy theories. He even thought it might not have been done by illegitimate children, but rather that someone didn't want his fourth brother to continue competing.
Surprisingly, Lu Cheng's car accident didn't even trend on social media. It seems that her family suppressed the matter, not wanting malicious people to make baseless accusations and deliberately use public opinion to attack Lu Cheng.
When Lu Cheng and Yin Song returned, the whole family sat in the living room chatting.
Lu Yinzhao was the first to stand up and walk over. "Fourth Brother, you've suffered... Your arm must hurt a lot."
"It doesn't hurt at all, it's nothing, I don't feel anything." Lu Cheng's right arm was in place with a brace and a white bandage hanging from it.
Seeing the worry in her younger brother's eyes, Lu Cheng casually touched his head with her uninjured left hand.
When Lu Yizhao heard Lu Cheng's stubborn words, he felt they were extremely familiar.
His fourth brother's way of speaking really hasn't changed at all.
"The doctor said the recovery is going well. You need to go for a check-up every week. There shouldn't be any major problems, but it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Don't even think about playing e-sports for the next few months. Just rest at home." After reporting to everyone, Yin Song glared at Lu Cheng with annoyance.
This guy injured his arm but still sneakily touched his phone, and she caught him several times.
"Mom, I only hurt my arm, my hand is fine. I can crush the opponent in games with just my fingers..."
"No way!" the whole family exclaimed in unison.
This startled Lu Cheng.
"Fourth brother, just listen to Mom and Dad. Get well soon so you can return to the competition. If you don't recover properly, it could lead to long-term health problems," Lu Yinzhao added, trying to persuade him.
"Since Zhao Zhao has said so... how can I not listen? Hehe! Fourth Brother will listen to you and get some rest."
The person who could best keep Lu Cheng in check in this family was actually Lu Yinzhao.
Yin Song breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Cheng was a Zhao Zhao fanatic. He might not listen to his own mother, but he would listen to his younger brother.
"Alright, everyone's here. Let's eat." Lu Wenyan gestured for everyone to sit down in the restaurant.
Lu Yinzhao sat down next to Lu Cheng and served him food.
Lu Cheng is right-handed, so it's not very convenient for him to eat with his left hand. Lu Yinzhao thoughtfully gave him a spoon.
"Fourth Brother, scoop a spoonful of rice, and I'll put the vegetables on top for you."
"Alright, Zhao Zhao, you eat yours. Your fourth brother isn't that useless yet."
Lu Yinzhao saw Lu Cheng trying to scoop up potato slices from the plate, but he couldn't manage to scoop them up no matter what he did.
He simply put down his chopsticks and said, "Never mind, Fourth Brother, let me feed you. It's so tiring watching you eat."
Lu Cheng: "..."
"Don't feel embarrassed. You fed me when I was little. We are family. You can rely on us unconditionally."
Lu Yinzhao's first words were enough to bring tears to people's eyes.
Lu Cheng's eyes reddened, and she called out with a pout, "Zhao Zhao..."
The next second, Lu Yinzhao shoved a spoonful of rice into his mouth.
"Okay, stop crying now, eat your fill first."
Lu Yinzhao's tone was indifferent, yet inexplicably humorous.
Lu Qi was the first to burst out laughing, followed by a series of muffled laughs from the dinner table.
Lu Cheng felt incredibly embarrassed; after so many years, the roles of him and Zhao Zhao had reversed.
Is he just getting old?
Just then, my phone inside my pants beeped with a message notification.
Lu Cheng hurriedly took out his phone and quickly put it on silent.
Seeing the other person's flustered appearance, Lu Yinzhao raised an eyebrow suspiciously: "Fourth Brother, this is a [Special Attention] notification sound. Something's up~"
