Chapter 61 How lucky she is to have such a brother

Xia Qingxi was embarrassed and walked quickly to Lu Jingxie. Just when she wanted to say something, she saw Lu Jingxie looking at her calmly, handing her a wad of money and saying,

"Give this money to mom." After that, he turned around and walked back to the room.

Xia Qingxi stood there blankly. She knew that he must have heard what she just said, but he didn't say it out of consideration for their face.

He came to give money with good intentions, but heard that the mother and daughter were calculating how to use the child to trap him. If it were someone else, he would probably turn against her on the spot, and at the very least, he would scold her as a heartless ungrateful person! How could he continue to give her money?

Holding a thick stack of banknotes in her hand, at least several hundred yuan, Xia Qingqing felt guilty and guilty. She had responsibilities to the original body, not to the entire family of the original body. She couldn't accept the money on behalf of her family.

Besides, the four hundred yuan she had was enough for them to live for a while. When she could make money in the future, she could help them improve their lives.

Xia Qingying walked into the room with the money, looked at Lu Jingchen somewhat unnaturally and asked:

"You heard what I said just now..."

Lu Jingchen did not raise his eyes, nor did he deny it, and replied in a calm voice:

"Yeah."

Xia Qingying was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into, but the reality was that there was no hole for her to crawl into, so she had to bite the bullet and said:

"Those words are not true. I just went along with what my mother said to make her feel at ease." In order to show her sincerity, she immediately raised her right hand:

"I swear, I will never have a child with you, and I will never use a child to trap you. If I really have such an idea, let me..."

"Shut up!"

Before Xia Qingxi finished speaking, Lu Jingchen suddenly interrupted him with a scolding. He frowned and his eyes were cold.

Xia Qingxi was stunned by his look. He didn't get so angry when he heard what he said in Guo Yulan's room just now. Now that he swore to show his sincerity, why was he unhappy?

Xia Qingxi stood there, not saying anything else, looking at him with a puzzled look.

Lu Jingchen also realized that his reaction was a bit too extreme. He lowered his deep brown eyes, still with residual anger, and asked in a cold voice:

"Why do you swear so casually? Do you think oaths are a joke?"

Xia Qingli thought that he thought that she swore to deceive his trust, so she was angry, and quickly said:

"No, no, I know that oaths are important, so..."

"Then why are you talking nonsense?" Lu Jingchen stopped her from talking, and her tone did not sound angry, but rather like blaming an ignorant child.

Xia Qingli was a little confused. It was because she knew that the oath was a promise that she dared to say that she and him would not have children, let alone use children to tie him down. Isn't this the best thing for him?

Why was he angry?

"You don't have to swear, I don't disbelieve you." Lu Jingchen said in a deep voice.

Although Xia Qingxu was very confused, she was relieved to hear him say that. She stopped worrying and said to him:

"Don't blame my mother. She thinks I don't have a child and is worried that I will have no one to rely on in the future, so she said those words."

Lu Jingchen didn't raise his eyes, as if he didn't care. He said two words in a deep voice:

"It's okay." After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and looked at Xia Qingxu, and asked calmly:

"So, do you want a child to rely on?"

This sentence really surprised Xia Qingxu. She never thought that he would ask this.

But he said it too calmly, and Xia Qingxu couldn't see any joy or anger on his face. Soon she understood why he asked this question.

He has always been responsible and kept his promises, just like before, he knew that he was set up, but he still married the original body, so now he thinks that they are already married, and it is also human nature for the woman to want a child to rely on.

As expected of the male protagonist, this noble sense of responsibility!

"No, no, no..." Xia Qingxi waved her hands hurriedly.

Having a child is not to tie him down, but to tie herself up. She doesn't know how long she can stay in this world now. What if she goes back in the blink of an eye? If she still retains the memory of this world after returning, what should she do when she misses a child?

In fact, the reason is that she has not fallen in love with the man in front of her. If she doesn't love him, why would she want a child?

Seeing that she refused without thinking, Lu frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xia Qingying continue:

"I just said that I will never use a child to tie you down, so I don't want anything to rely on."

After hearing her words, his frown gradually relaxed, and his expression even showed a hint of surprise and praise.

"Oh, and you don't have to give money to my family." Xia Qingying said as she handed over the money in her hand.

Lu Jingchen did not take the money Xia Qingxiang handed over, and said in a deep voice: "Keep it."

Xia Qingxiang wanted to say more, but Lu Jingchen had already turned around and walked out.

Holding a thick stack of money, Xia Qingxiang hesitated for a moment, and did not insist on returning it.

Maybe he gave the money not because he was the son-in-law of this family, but because he remembered the help Guo Yulan extended to his family when his family was in trouble.

Now this family can be said to be penniless, and this money is indeed needed. Xia Qingxiang took the money, thinking that at worst he would just write it down and return it to him later.

Lu Jingchen walked into the yard, and Xia Qingshu just added grass to the rabbit. The two met, sat on the steps tacitly, and looked into the distance.

The stars in the mountains were really bright, making the night not so dark. Xia Qingshu found a piece of grass on his clothes. It must have fallen on him when he was feeding the rabbit just now. He did not throw it away, but unconsciously drew it on the steps.

At this time, there was a "ga-gu...ga-gu..." sound coming from the mountains. Xia Qingshu recognized it as the call of pheasants and suddenly laughed. He asked Lu Jingchen beside him:

"Do you remember that every time at this time, my dad would take us to the mountains to catch pheasants?"

Lu Jingchen looked at the night sky in the distance, as if reminiscing: "And rabbits, badgers... every time you got the most."

"Well, I'm older." Xia Qingshu laughed: "Of course I can run faster than you."

Hearing the word "run", Lu Jingchen's expression froze for a moment. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Xia Qingcao whisper:

"My legs... can't run faster than you now."

His tone was still smiling, as if he didn't care, just stating an objective fact.

But the more he said this, the more uncomfortable it made people feel!

Lu Jingchen was not very good at comforting people, not to mention that at this time, no matter how much comfort he gave, it would be of no use.

The two were silent for a while. Xia Qingshu looked at Lu Jingchen and said very cautiously:

"Jingchen, I only have one sister, Xiaoliu..." After a pause, he asked with cautious pleading:

"Can you please take care of her for me in the future?"

The moonlight shone on Lu Jingchen's cold and indifferent face, casting a layer of glow on it, making him look much softer. He raised his hand, patted Xia Qingshu on the shoulder, and replied in a deep voice:

"Okay."

Xia Qingliu, who was originally going to give money, happened to hear the conversation between the two when she passed by the main hall, and her eyes suddenly became sore.

Xia Qingshu did not hesitate to expose his wounds in front of others and humbly win sympathy, just to make Lu Jingchen treat his sister better. Such dedication and such love, how could she not be moved.

How lucky she is to have such a brother!
