Chapter 31
On the main road of Laojun Village, the four members of the Zhan family were all together. Lu Chao and Zhan Miao were carrying milk and fruits without saying a word, while Zhan Mu was trying his best to persuade his parents.
"Oh, my aunts and uncles always ask questions. I bought the electronic babysitter just to avoid them."
Zhan's mother glared at him angrily, turned around and looked at Lu Chao, oh no, Zhan Miao, that look in her eyes was not only creepy but also frightening.
"Get away from me!" Zhan Mu was pushed away by her mother. If her son saw correctly, he seemed to see crystal tears in her mother's eyes.
Zhan's mother took two steps on her own, turned around, and scolded him: "You are so cold-blooded! You are nothing!"
It makes sense. Since the real Zhan Miao is still lying on the sickbed, Zhan Mu, her brother, has already got an electronic doll that looks like her as a substitute.
"Well, they're all fake anyway, don't take them seriously. At least the money is used in the right way. You just know it's an electronic doll, right?" Zhan's father was busy comforting Zhan's mother and ignored his son.
Zhan Mu pursed his lips, but he did not feel guilty. Thinking of the time when his mother contacted the salesperson to refund 68,000 yuan, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. Now seeing her give in on the same matter, he felt so happy and satisfied.
"Zhan Miao, come here and call me mom." Zhan Mu smiled viciously.
The enthusiastic woman, Lu Chao, was too busy carrying milk and fruit to move her hands. Otherwise, she would have punched him in the face. So she just came over happily, looking well-behaved and sensible, and shouted, "Mom, Dad, just for this day, please bear with it."
As soon as these words came out, still in a male voice, the already ugly expressions of Zhan's mother and father became even uglier. Suddenly, they looked at Zhan Mu with a look of annoyance and anger.
Zhan Mu scratched his forehead and said, "Well, let me explain. When you buy this data, you have to pre-select the gender. I set it as male."
"Why did you set it as a male?" Zhan's mother frowned.
"Wouldn't it be weirder if I set it up as a female?" Zhan Mu replied.
Zhan's father's mind was almost turned into a paste. "Stop talking, stop talking. It's just a meal, why make it so complicated?"
"Why don't we just forget it?" Lu Chao felt embarrassed.
"It's fine, keep going." Zhan Mu said seriously, and whispered to Lu Chao, "Didn't you say you were bored and wanted to go hiking and fishing? Let's go."
Lu Chao discovered that Zhan Mu's brain was sometimes really weird, and his was the kind of abstract, confusing thing, just like in the game, where he calmly let people call him husband.
Your humor is really cold and makes people laugh and cry.
The four of them walked along the country road in silence.
So Lu Chao, who felt tired of his hands, switched his voice and secretly called out "Brother~" Zhan Mu turned around and took the milk he threw at him, while ignoring his slim figure shaking his hair.
“…” Zhan’s mother and father’s expressions became increasingly ugly.
"Haha, I didn't expect you could change your voice. Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhan Mu laughed dryly twice to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Here, Zhan's mother rushed over and snatched the fruit from her fake daughter's hand. With a strange expression, she said, "Let me do it. I'm tiring you out."
Lu Chao was left at a loss. Looking at Zhan Mu again, he took out his cell phone and started taking selfies, grinning, arrogant and showing no remorse at all.
Lu Chao thought that Zhan Mu might hate his family a little.
"Can I eat something?" On this side, Zhan's mother suddenly asked Lu Chao curiously, and inexplicably lowered her voice like a thief.
"Uh, no." Lu Chao recalled the time when he secretly drank water while Zhan Mu was drinking water. He was so confused that he couldn't see anything for a long time.
"Oh, there is no digestive system, then what do you use to make it?" Zhan's father also joined in the chat, which made Lu Chao feel very uncomfortable. He was indeed not treated as a real person.
"Dad, why are you asking this? Let me first tell you, this cyber data man was given to me by a friend. I respect him, love him, and treat him as a member of my family. I raised him, and I make the decisions. Hehe, it has nothing to do with you."
Zhan Mu's brows danced with joy.
Lu Chao came to the conclusion that as long as it made Zhan Mu's parents unhappy, his son seemed to enjoy doing it and was extremely enthusiastic about it.
"Am I your dog?" Lu Chao couldn't help but raised his leg to kick, but Zhan Mu dodged it. He was stunned and stiffened, and began to worry that he had ruined Zhan Miao's image.
However, when Zhan's mother saw this scene, she was actually amused and laughed. She smiled and covered her mouth with her hands. Then she realized that her real daughter was unconscious.
Zhan's mother's eyes were red, and Zhan's father patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. The couple looked haggard, but they forced a strong smile.
“…” Zhan Mu blinked, his emotions surging, but he felt that crying was too hypocritical, so he turned his head and played with his phone.
-
Birds were singing, and the spacious courtyard was bustling with people coming and going, including many relatives. Zhan's mother was helping in the kitchen, while Zhan's father was watching TV in the living room and talking to his brothers about national leaders.
Zhan Mu, however, had no brothers or sisters of the same age, so he acted like a deaf-mute cracking melon seeds, neither joining in taking care of children nor in bragging.
Fake Zhan Miao, on the other hand, seemed to have not experienced family affection for a long time. Aunt Yiwu held his hand and comforted him warmly, saying, "Miao Miao hasn't graduated yet? Children who study have tender hands. Look at your aunt's hands. They are full of calluses after working for so many years."
"Yeah." Lu Chao nodded repeatedly. He was just feeling the difficulties of life for her when he heard her say, "Is it impossible to find a friend? If only the Empress hadn't introduced you to one who's so cute."
Lu Chao froze and spoke incoherently.
As he spoke, he pinched Lu Chao's face. He felt that the touch was a bit strange, but fortunately he didn't think much about it.
This scene made Zhan Mu laugh, and his expression became obscene while he was cracking melon seeds. Of course, he kept in mind that Lu Chao was now his sister Zhan Miao, so he regained his composure and continued eating.
"Zhan Mu!" Just as he was happily watching videos, he heard a familiar shout. He looked up and saw a guy in a white vest, black shorts and flip-flops walking towards him.
"Brother Gang." Zhan Mu smiled. Of course he knew him. He was his next-door neighbor, a good friend and brother who had climbed up roofs and robbed tiles together when they were young in the countryside.
"Playing with your phone again? Do you want to go catch loaches?" Liu Gang asked. At the same time, he glanced at the graceful Zhan Miao and felt a little nervous. He pretended to be calm and continued to harass her brother.
"Sister, are you going?" Zhan Mu had no psychological burden.
"Brother, I'm going too." Lu Chao smiled strangely.
There were still a few hours before dinner, the sun was blazing and the weather was bright. Lu Chao, who was made of fluid, suddenly felt the temperature was very high. He was scorched all over and felt like his brain was short-circuiting.
He followed Zhan Mu, pretending to be a lady and remained silent for a while.
"Have you graduated from college, Zhan Mu?" Liu Gang brought a bucket with a thin black rod and a crayfish in it.
"Well, you've graduated, right?" Zhan Mu followed Liu Gang.
He picked up the long pole, swung it, and suddenly jumped into the rice field, leaving only a pair of flip-flops for Zhan Mu to help guard. The young man was enthusiastic and professionally bent down to poke and poke with the long pole, looking for loaches.
"I've been working for a long time, selling feed to my old man." Liu Gang answered with a hearty laugh, and directed Zhan Mu to drop the bucket. It seemed like he was about to catch a loach.
Lu Chao suddenly said: "Brother, it's so hot, I feel a little dizzy."
Zhan Mu frowned, thinking, "No way." But then he saw Liu Gang thrust out his hand again, revealing his muscular biceps. He smiled back and said, "You really are from the city. You're afraid of even this little bit of sun."
Then he pulled out a loach and threw it into the bucket.
He climbed up and said with a smile: "A gentleman is talking nonsense."
Lu Chao resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Zhan Mu also noticed for the first time how the once youthful and naive Gang had become so greasy after not seeing him for a few years.
A man who thinks he is very manly.
But more often than not, Zhan Mu revealed his face as a bystander, turning back to give Lu Chao a devilish smile and teasingly saying, "Oh, our brother Gang likes you~"
He really deserves a beating.
Lu Chao cursed Zhan Mu a thousand times in his heart.
"Zhan Mu, your mother!!" When Liu Gang heard this, he didn't even put on his flip-flops and was about to slap Zhan Mu, but Zhan Mu had already run away, leaving behind the laughter of those who watched the fun.
On the way back to dinner, Liu Gang seemed to sense the frustration from the aloof sister. He was too embarrassed to say it directly to Zhan Mu, so he asked indirectly, "Can you have friends in college?"
"I've never dated an ugly bastard." Zhan Mu looked back, "Have you forgotten? I used to be a fat otaku, and you even laughed at me for thinking one meal would last you three days. It was hilarious."
"Hey, brother Mu, you're still worried about not being able to find a girlfriend now that you're in this state?" Liu Gang bumped Zhan Mu's arm, but in fact, his eyes had already revealed that he wanted to keep in touch with her.
"..." Lu Chao was afraid of being exposed, so he chose to keep his mouth shut, lifted his hair and continued to pretend to be gentle.
"How can children have long-lasting love when the country is not yet strong?" Zhan Mu suddenly clenched his fist and made a "come on" gesture to himself.
Lu Chao was amused and turned around to give him a thumbs up.
"Fuck, what a talent." Brother Liu Gang was speechless.
In the end, under Zhan Mu's covert and explicit obstruction, Liu Gang failed to obtain Zhan Miao's TT account. He also realized it, so he admitted defeat. He must have thought of himself as a toad and felt that he could not eat the swan meat of Zhan Miao.
It was dinner time, and Lu Chao was almost unable to hold on any longer. He looked at his retina, which had only 5% battery left, and he still had to cooperate with them in performing the eating show. He really wanted to die on the spot.
"Brother, I can't eat. I'm a little sleepy." Here, while everyone else hasn't arrived yet, Lu Chao really wants to turn back into liquid and go back to recharge and sleep.
"You, hold on a little longer, we'll go home after dinner." Zhan Mu looked completely unmanly at this time.
Lu Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I will become a transgender person in front of your relatives and friends."
"Okay, okay, let's go." Zhan Mu took a sip of his favorite happy water and led Lu Chao to their car parked on the roadside. He had forgotten the charger in the back seat.
Before he got close, he ran into Brother Gang who had just taken a shower and was about to go to dinner. He had just gone to the fields to catch loaches and was all dirty. He went back to rub himself off and by chance, he ran into Zhan Miao who was being supported by Zhan Mu.
Dizzy and looking tender.
"What's wrong with your sister? If you feel uncomfortable, go lie down on the bed." Liu Gang was very understanding. He thought that Zhan Mu's thin arms and legs were unable to hold his sister, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to come over to help.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary, Brother Gang. I'll take her to the clinic." Zhan Mu rejected Liu Gang again, threw Lu Chao, who was on the verge of transgender, into the back seat, slammed the door shut, and opened the driver's door. Then he remembered -
He didn't get a driver's license.
"What's wrong?" Liu Gang seemed to see his embarrassment and asked, "You can't drive? Well, I can. How about we go together? I'll drive you two there. It's no big deal."
Lu Chao struggled to find the charging box in Zhan Mu's pocket in the back seat, but couldn't find it for a long time. The fluid was twisted and on the verge of death.
"No, Brother Gang, how about this, you go eat first?" Zhan Mu was about to explode, and he was arguing with Liu Gang. "My sister and I can just deal with it between us."
Liu Gang was full of boyfriend power and even opened the driver's seat to reach her. Just as he leaned his head out and hadn't seen Zhan Miaoren clearly, Zhan Mu couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed her collar and pulled her out.
He used too much force and threw the person down the hillside onto the road.
Liu Gang lost his balance and rolled down, his face full of confusion. He was not injured, but he suffered a double blow of being despised by Zhan Mu and Zhan Miao.
"I just want to pick up your sister, that's all..."
Zhan Mu got into the car with gritted teeth, closed the door, and drove away without caring about anything else. He inserted the key, pulled the handbrake, shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out with two roars.
As expected, Liu Gang watched helplessly as the car crashed into a small hill at a bend with a loud cracking sound.
Liu Gang was confused and wanted to chase after him. Before he could stand up, he saw Zhan Mu suddenly seemed to be able to drive again. After a few adjustments, he became an expert. He turned the car around and backed up. After a few seconds, he turned a corner and drove onto the main road and left.
"Well, I'd better continue to be an AI." Lu Chao said after turning into a small cube fluid form.
"Okay, I won't play next time. It's my fault. You've worked hard today." Zhan Mu sighed deeply and nervously followed Lu Chao's instructions to drive carefully.
