Chapter 81: You don’t deserve it

Downstairs

Zhou Zipei took off his coat and threw it aside. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, but he didn’t find a lighter from his body.

He could only take it from his mouth and play with it in his hand.

Chu Mian came over with two cups of tea. The bottom of the cups and the table made a crisp sound.

Chu Mian asked: "Is it Zhou Qian's people?"

He already knew what happened in the afternoon.

Zhou Zipei hummed and said: "Not really."

Chu Mian sneered: "I think so. Zhou Qian is not his stupid son who can't bear it."

They just arrived in Kyoto and did such a thing, for fear that others would not know that he did it.

Zhou Zipei looked at him and smiled, "But this time, the target is not me."

Chu Mian also looked at him, and felt that his smile had other meanings, so he asked suspiciously, "Who?"

Zhou Zipei said, "Lu Siyin."

Chu Mian turned his head away, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I don't want to listen."

Zhou Zipei said to himself, "She knocked everyone out."

Chu Mian: "..."

Zhou Zipei's tone was very sincere, as if she really wanted to know his answer: "Is it very powerful?"

Chu Mian didn't want to pay attention to him: "..."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. For the first time, he didn't taste anything.

Zhou Zipei smiled in an indecent way for a while.

Chu Mian returned to the point and asked him: "This matter is both small and big, how do you want to solve it?"

"I threw the hired mercenaries in front of the old man."

Chu Mian heard this and looked at him with interest: "It seems like something you can do."

Zhou Zipei had no intention of investigating further. Anyway, the result would be the same, so he threw those people in the old house openly, whether it was a warning, intimidation, or threat, and let them figure it out for themselves.

At the same time, let the second uncle and his people see who the old man favors more.

Zhou Zipei's smile was a little cold, and he said: "Since they have the intention to capture Lu Siyin, they must pay the price."

Chu Mian knew that he knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything.

A few minutes later

Zhou Zipei suddenly asked: "How is he?"

Chu Mian knew who he was referring to, and was somewhat surprised that he would ask suddenly.

"Qing Zhu said that the toxicity has been temporarily controlled, and it may take half a year or even a few years to completely detoxify."

Zhou Zipei looked at the cigarette in his hand with his eyebrows downcast, and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Chu Mian sighed and continued, "What do you think of this poison?"

Zhou Zipei seemed to find it funny, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He said casually, "What can I think?"

"This poison is strange. I haven't heard that the teacher has any enemies, but there are many people who repay his kindness."

Zhou Zipei turned the ring on his index finger, exuding a kind of recklessness, and said, "Yes, I am one..."

"You" Chu Mian smiled and shook his head, "You won't kill him."

Zhou Zipei disagreed: "I am the one who wants his life the most."

Chu Mian didn't look at him, nor did he say anything, everything was self-evident.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark, and a bright moon hung in the sky, like a light bulb hanging in the sky.

No matter how cold the weather in Kyoto is, the temperature in the house is constant all year round. Zhou Zipei felt a little hot wearing only a shirt.

He saw that the top two buttons were undone and said, "The temperature in the room has been changed."

Chu Mian said, "Yeah, it's been raised a little."

You don't have to think about why.

Zhou Zipei stood up, picked up his coat, and made a gesture to leave.

Chu Mian was too lazy to move, so he sat on the sofa and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, the old man is urging us."

...

Chu Mian sat downstairs for a while before getting up and going upstairs.

His bedroom was opposite Lu Jingshu's room. When he held the door handle, he hesitated to press it.

Thinking of Lu Jingshu's frighteningly pale face after she diagnosed the teacher not long ago, he always thought it was because she was too tired.

But now that I think about it carefully, I always feel that things are not that simple.

From that moment on, Lu Jingshu seemed to be absent-minded, perhaps even she herself did not notice it.

She would always stare at a certain point in the void and be distracted. The aura of death kept coming out, as if she had automatically isolated herself from the surroundings. No one could get in, and she didn't want to come out.

Chu Mian never wanted to see that kind of empty look from her again in his life.

Why is that?

Chu Mian found that he knew very little about Lu Jingshu. He only knew that she had been living in the countryside with her grandparents in the past. After the old man passed away, she was taken to Pucheng to go to school in the past two years.

Chu Mian took a last look at the closed door, then opened the door and walked in, closing it gently with his backhand.

…

The next day

Lu Siyin once again opened her eyes at dawn, feeling a sense of powerlessness as if she wanted to sleep but couldn’t.

She suddenly felt very distressed. Two nights of the seven-day holiday had already passed, and she had not been able to make good use of them. She had slept all day and night, wasting time!

It was true that time was money, and if you don’t have it, you don’t have it at all.

Lu Siyin wanted to jump out of bed, but before she did anything, she reflexively looked at the door.

Well, the door was locked, no one was passing by, it was safe!

So she jumped off the bed without hesitation, and then hummed a song while going to the bathroom.

After washing up, she opened the door and met the aunt who had just come upstairs.

The aunt looked to be in her 50s or 60s, very friendly. When she saw her, she asked warmly, "Are you Miss Yin? Does your room need cleaning?"

Lu Siyin stood in front of the door, refusing to budge. Thinking of the room that had been turned into a pigsty after being tormented by her all night, she immediately smiled and said, "No need, Auntie. The room is very clean. I won't bother you." Aunt Li

thought she was embarrassed, and said enthusiastically, "Don't be polite with me. It will be quick to clean."

Lu Siyin smiled with difficulty, "Really, no need."

She pressed against the door frame with all her stubbornness.

Aunt Li was relieved to see her insistence, and said, "What a sensible and good child." She

praised Lu Siyin from head to toe, and then slowly left.

Lu Siyin was praised to the heavens and the earth, and she felt that no one in the world was worthy of her.

Zhou Zipei is not even close to being worthy of me.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Zipei came over and saw her smiling happily, so he asked, "What is it? Tell me and I'll be happy."

Lu Siyin raised her proud chin and said, "You don't deserve it!"

She immediately felt that she was 2.8 meters tall and handsome, and then she left with a thump. Her flat slippers looked like high heels.

Zhou Zipei: "..."

How come I don't deserve it again so early in the morning?

Lu Siyin's door was not closed tightly. Although Zhou Zipei knew it was not polite to look at a girl's bedroom without permission, he still took a look.

After that, he chuckled helplessly, stepped forward, closed Lu Siyin's door, and then went downstairs.

Lu Jingshu has already sat down in the restaurant. She obviously went to bed early last night, but she still looks tired. There are some red bloodshot in her eyes, her eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and her eyelids are drooping as she looks at her watch. I don’t know what she is thinking.

Chu Mian served a bowl of porridge in front of her. This action successfully brought Lu Jingshu back to her senses and she whispered "thank you".

Chu Mian did not respond, but just sat down next to her.

Lu Jingshu no longer thought about other things and focused on drinking porridge.
