Just when Han Lenian closed his eyes and prepared to wait for death, the oppressive feeling that made it difficult to breathe suddenly stopped.
He opened his eyes in confusion and saw an extremely delicate and beautiful face standing in front of him.
Han Lenian:?!
Although it was a bit inappropriate, his face turned red from his neck to his ears.
And this face seems... a little familiar?
Before he could figure out what was going on, a pair of slender fingers with red nail polish landed on his neck. Han Lenian's brain froze, and this time he didn't just blush, he was almost smoking.
——Except for his mother, Han Lenian has never had such close contact with the opposite sex in his life.
Then the finger followed the thread on his neck and hooked out an amulet.
Han Lenian was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to grab it, "Give it back to me!"
Of course I didn’t get it.
Li Shengru glanced at him, unsealed the bag, picked out the talisman paper inside, and then returned the cloth bag with the word "peace" printed on it.
Han Lenian: “…”
What use does he have for an empty cloth bag?
I bought it online from Taobao, and it cost an average of 30 cents each. The workmanship was rough, and the print on it was even a little faded. The reason why Han Lenian was in a hurry to get it back was because the talisman inside was drawn for him by Lulu.
Li Shengru held it up and looked at the talisman carefully. The aura that had been barely suppressed suddenly became strangely calm.
She finally looked at Han Lenian and asked, "Who gave you this talisman?"
Although the other party seemed to have calmed down now, Han Lenian had not forgotten her destructive power just now. He looked at Li Shengru vigilantly, but unexpectedly discovered that she seemed to have not been completely unscathed in the confrontation between her and Han Li just now.
There was a dark mark on the woman's waist and abdomen, but because she was wearing a dark cheongsam and the sky was dark, it was not noticeable.
Li Shengru noticed his gaze and realized that her wound had reopened. She snorted coldly and raised her hand to casually swing out a stream of spiritual power.
Then, the already shaky building on her side collapsed.
Amid the crackling sound of things falling, Han Lenian heard the slightly hoarse female voice saying calmly, "If I really did that, you would have been dead long ago."
Han Lenian: ...That’s true.
He said, "My brother gave it to me."
After that, there was dead silence.
Han Lenian didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that after he said this, the air around him suddenly became tense.
He looked up and saw the head of the Li family, who looked strangely familiar for some reason, staring at him with a very sinister expression, "Your brother?"
Han Lenian: “…”
There is always an illusion that "once you nod, you're dead."
When Chu Lu woke up, he was surrounded.
Everyone who should be here and everyone who shouldn’t be here are here.
In fact, it is hard to say who “should not be there”.
Since Mao Xingchang's mission was over, Han Lenian should have returned from City A. There was nothing wrong with him coming to see his brother first. Xiang Zhengqi, whom he met before he "fell asleep", naturally could not have left. And Xiang Zhengqi's first reaction after discovering him was definitely to tell Li Shengru...
So the scene of the three of them gathering together was not so unexpected. The moment she saw him wake up, Li Shengru, the only woman among them, immediately grabbed Chu Lu's hand and leaned forward to block him. Relying on her gender advantage, she made it impossible for the two men next to her to do anything.
Of course, Han Lenian was the only one who almost touched the lady and hastily withdrew his hand with a red face. Xiang Zhengqi didn't care. Given their childhood sweetheart relationship, they even knew each other's dark history of wetting the bed when they were young. This little physical contact was nothing.
However, as soon as he got closer, he received a fierce warning look from Li Shengru.
Xiang Zhengqi's outstretched hand froze, and he turned to press the back of his head and grabbed his messy hair twice.
——Forget it. If I force myself to move forward now, I’ll probably be pinned to the ground and beaten badly when I turn around.
Anyway, everyone is awake, there will always be a chance in the future...
After Li Shengru warned Xiang Zhengqi, she lowered her head and her expression instantly turned gentle. She asked in a gentle voice: "Shenglu, are you awake? ... How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Chu Lu was about to explain his current situation:???
He blinked in confusion.
Did something happen that he didn't know about?
He actually skipped the stage of explaining and started asking about each other's well-being.
In fact, during the time when Chu Lu was comatose, the three of them did exchange information with each other and had some guesses about Chu Lu's current condition.
However, Chu Lu's confusion was obviously misunderstood as something else. She tightened her grip on his hand, and in contrast, the female voice became softer, "Shenglu, do you still remember me? It's 'sister'... It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Sister will take you home..."
Han Lenian, who was listening on the side, finally couldn't help but yelled "Hey!"
How can you kidnap someone else's brother so openly in front of him? How can this be justified?!
He didn't care about that, he pushed aside Xiang Zhengqi who was occupying the space beside him, and pulled Chu Lu into his arms, "This is my brother!"
Li Shengru was caught off guard and was pushed away:?!
Xiang Zhengqi: “……!”
He looked the boy up and down as if he was meeting Han Lenian for the first time.
——This is a true warrior.
Han Lenian had no time to understand the meaning of Xiang Zhengqi's eyes. He was originally confident in what he said, but after seeing the face that looked 70% to 80% like his brother, he felt weak for a while. But then he thought of something and his tone became firm again, "That's what it says on the household registration!!"
Chu Lu: "..."
Young man, do you still remember that it was a “fake certificate”?
Although due to the system, there is indeed no problem. However... this is not a reason for you to dance in front of the real owner.
…
…………
The battle ended with Chu Lu staying on Han Lenian's side.
Under normal circumstances, Li Shengru would not give in.
However, this time... She pressed the unhealed wound on her waist and abdomen, and remembered that the Li family still had some undealt with. If she brought her brother back like this, she would inevitably encounter some troubles. She didn't want to finally bring her brother home after so many years, only to have him face those unpleasant scenes.
——Back then, it was her younger brother who kept her behind him to protect her, so now it’s her turn as the “older sister”.
God knows what kind of "shock mixed with disbelief" expression was on Xiang Zhengqi's face when Li Shengru agreed to let Chu Lu stay in S City.
He almost suspected that his childhood sweetheart had been swapped! !
Perhaps it was because his expression was too obvious that Han Lenian, who was supposed to be the target, was instantly separated from the hatred.
Li Shengru dragged Xiang Zhengqi, who was a head taller than him, by the collar and walked out of the room. He said with a fake smile, "You can't even handle a group of resentful ghosts. I think you haven't exercised for a long time. Let's go to the training ground first..."
Seeing Xiang Zhengqi rolling his eyes due to being strangled, Han Lenian subconsciously touched his collar. He then thought of his attitude towards Patriarch Li just now, and then thought about the Han family's old house which had now become a complete ruin.
Han Lenian: “…”
Wouldn't he be retaliated against?
Han Lenian's worries lasted for a whole week.
But this week was calm and nothing happened, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And Chu Lu finally took this opportunity to figure out what kind of script the three people over there had arranged for him.
He looked at the resurrection well in the game interface and was silent for a long time.
——The power of will collected in this way is actually recognized by the world consciousness? ! This is basically "cheating", right? ! ! !
and……
How to explain his act of playing for Mao Xingchang without exposing the situation in time and space?
Chu Lu, who had not expected to be discovered, did not even try to cover himself when he was acting: "..."
Never mind, just copying the script is fine.
…
…………
After finding out the reason, Chu Lu finally understood Qian Ji's strange reaction that day.
Anyone who sees a living game NPC will react in a similar way, right? To be honest, Qian Ji has been very restrained.
Although according to Xiang Zhengqi, he helped Qian Ji deal with his memory afterwards - after all, it is not a good thing for ordinary people to know too much about the other world - but the blurred memory does not mean that nothing happened, and the impression left in the subconscious can never be completely erased.
There is a neighbor across the street who stares at him every day...
To be honest, Chu Lu was also under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, he was a college student who had to go to school. Although he tried every means to find excuses to stay at home for a whole week, he finally left reluctantly.
Chu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, but Han Lenian had the exact opposite feeling to his brother.
——Because the day after Qian Ji left, a new neighbor moved in upstairs.
Single, female, loves to wear cheongsam.
Han Lenian: “…”
Although Han Lenian was a bit unfamiliar with his neighbors except for Professor Qian and his wife across the street, he could guarantee that the family upstairs had absolutely no intention of moving before that! ! Shouldn't he also thank Li Shengru for not moving across the street? !
Although he swore that the child was his brother, pointing to the household registration book, Han Lenian knew the truth of the situation and it was not reasonable for him to stop the brother and sister from meeting each other.
Although he was extremely worried that his younger brother might be taken away, Han Lenian still reluctantly accepted the current situation.
However, this does not include -
Suddenly, the association specifically assigned her to work on all her rest days for the next month. After returning home, a woman hugged her brother with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of your life."
Han Lenian: !!!
He swore that he didn't take action on the spot simply because he couldn't win!
…
…………
Seeing Han Lenian leave with the "max anger value" buff, Chu Lu couldn't help but sigh and turned to Li Shengru, "Don't bully him, he is my 'brother' after all."
Li Shengru blinked like a little girl, with an innocent look on her face, as if asking "What are you talking about?"
——Just like every time I got into trouble as a child.
Chu Lu: "..."
The brother and sister, who seemed to have a big age difference to the naked eye, stared at each other for a long time. Just like every time in their old memories, it was the older sister Li Shengru who looked away first.
She lowered her head and explained in a low voice: "The child can't stay like this forever. The Han family's mess is still waiting for him to take over."
Li Shengru, the culprit behind the Han family's mess, feels no guilt at all.
She continued in a worried tone like an older sister: "You know the way out... If he continues to be this strong, even with Xiang Zhengqi and I backing him up, I'm afraid he will be skinned alive by those old guys..."
"...Spells, magic...The future head of the Han family can't just fight with fists...Those old guys won't admit it..."
If Xiang Zhengqi were here, he would definitely sigh and say, "Long time no see."
——This is Li Shengru's type of behavior of telling lies with open eyes and making excuses blatantly.
Obviously, he is just a giant bug that relies on spiritual power to crush others, so it is not wrong to say that others cannot rely on fists alone.
Li Shengru didn't feel guilty at all, and continued to explain his reasons without blinking, until -
A soft and tender hand fell on her head, and the owner of the hand whispered in his still childish voice: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
Li Shengru was stunned for several seconds, and when he opened his mouth again, he suddenly found that his throat was a little blocked.
At that moment, she recalled many things that happened over the years, and it seemed that she had enough words to say whether to complain or to deny it, but in the end she just responded with a simple "hmm".
It’s great to have you back;
It's great to see you again.
never mind……
The uneasiness and fear of waking up from the dream to find that everything was a lie were suddenly dispelled, and even the vague resentment towards Han Lenian because of his brother being kidnapped was soothed.
——It’s just a little devil.
…
…………
Han Lenian, who had no idea that he had escaped a disaster, worked desperately to compress a month's schedule into half a month. When he finally had some free time, he returned home to find that the house was deserted and empty.
Han Lenian: !!!
After being reminded by Aunt Luo across the street, he hurried upstairs.
But Lulu and the woman were not there. An elderly woman opened the door. She seemed to recognize him and was not surprised by his arrival. She said, "Master Han."
Han Lenian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to address this person.
He was a little unsure: "...Hello."
The other party seemed to know why he came, and nodded with a smile: "The master and Master Shenglu are out, they will be back soon, please wait."
Han Lenian: “… Yeah, okay.”
Although he had stayed in the Han family for nearly a month, he was still not used to being treated so solemnly. He was invited to sit on the sofa awkwardly. After a while, a cup of tea that looked very expensive was placed in front of him.
By the way, was the upstairs originally decorated in this Chinese style?
He looked around in confusion, then raised his eyes and saw the photo of a family of four displayed outside.
——Looking tenderly at the parents of the child in their arms, as well as the brother and sister who looked alike and were of similar age.
Han Lenian: ? ? !
Sudden critical strike!!
…
So, when Chu Lu and Li Shengru came back, they saw Han Lenian with a miserable and gloomy face.
Chu Lu:? ? ?
What happened?
However, before Chu Lu could even think of a way to comfort the other party.
Han Lenian's depression only lasted until he "accidentally" knocked over the photo and saw a photo of the brothers behind the double-sided frame.
Han Lenian: Sudden resurrection = v =
A few years later.
With the joint recommendation of the three family heads, the Tianshi Association elected the youngest president in its history.
In addition to being extremely young and capable, the 675th president of the association has another special feature: he has two registered names in the association: Han Lu and Li Shenglu.
There are rumors that he is the younger brother of the current Han family head, and there are rumors that he is the younger brother of the Li family head. However, the parents of the Li family head died early, and if we calculate based on their ages, he should not have such a young brother, so the former rumor is more reliable.
Of course, within the association, some older people who know more about the situation have remained silent.
Although a few of the names were personal matters, it became a big problem for everyone in the association.
If he were to address him as "Chairman Han" in a formal meeting, the head of the Li family would sneer and glare at him. If he were to address him as "Chairman Li", he would be met with an expressionless gaze from the head of the Han family.
As for simply being called “President”?
Although there is only one "president" in the association, there are several "vice presidents". According to the default rules of interpersonal relationships in China, no one will deliberately point out the title of "vice president", so it is still necessary to distinguish them by surnames.
Under the double attack from two influential family heads in the Tianshi world, the young president's title in the association gradually evolved into "President Lu".
Regarding this——
Li Shengru: ...Haha.
Han Lenian: That’s fine.
A Lu family that is not very famous in the other world and has very few members:?
It's just...the surprise came too suddenly.
