Mrs. Lu: ...Am I overthinking?

Before Mrs. Lu came to her senses, a servant ran out from the yard in front of them and said on behalf of the people in the yard, "Madam, hurry up! Erlang is really awake this time!"

The fact that her son woke up was naturally more important than "Lu Sanlang might have slept with the maid in the mansion". When Mrs. Lu heard the news about Lu Xian, she no longer cared about Lu Yun's affair. Giving Lu Yun a warning look, Mrs. Lu led the maids to walk past Lu Yun and went into the yard to visit Lu Erlang. After the people left, Lu Yun took off his cloak, and the face of the beauty in his arms was already red.

Before Lu Yun said anything, Luo Lingyu was extremely excited: "Second cousin finally woke up? That's great... Third cousin, please take me back to the temple. I want to see second cousin as soon as possible!"

Luo Lingyu's heart immediately flew to Lu Erlang, thinking about how to warn Lu Erlang before Mrs. Lu and others, and take the blame for the drowning. Deliberately forgetting Mrs. Lu's previous disturbance, hiding in Lu Yun's arms, Luo Lingyu quietly brushed the hair at her temples and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves. She also reached for her sleeves and smelled them.

When she looked up, she met Lu Yun's cold and disdainful gaze.

Luo Lingyu: "...Everyone loves beauty. Am I wrong?"

Lu Yun: “Heh.”

Without mentioning what his ambiguous "ha" meant, after playing hide-and-seek, Lu Yun made a detour to the back door of Erlang's courtyard, dodged the busy servants in the courtyard several times, successfully sent Luo Lingyu back to the temple, and took the maid pretending to be her away. After that, Lu Yun went directly to Erlang's house - Lu Erlang finally woke up after being unconscious for two nights and one day, and the house was full of doctors and elders.

Old Madam Lu wiped her tears and kept saying, "It's good that you woke up. You made us so worried..."

Lu Yun stood behind them absentmindedly, looking casually at Erlang Lu Xian, who was sitting on the couch and crying in the arms of Mrs. Lu. Lu Xian's forehead was covered with sweat, his face was pale, and his lips were white. After taking the medicine, his complexion was slightly better, but his eyes were still in a state of "confusion". Lu Erlang rubbed his forehead and pulled his mother away: "Mom, don't cry, what's wrong with me..."

His voice was hoarse, and he stopped talking halfway. His mind was in a fuzzy state, and he thought of the nightmare in his dream. After waking up, he could still remember the dream that made him terrified, and the boundary between dream and reality was blurred. It seemed that the dream began when he just woke up, and his cousin Luo, with tears in her eyes, stumbled into the room after lifting the curtain. Her face was haggard, she was panting slightly, and she choked and shouted -

"Second cousin!"

"Second cousin!"

The voices in the dream overlapped with reality. Just as Lu Xian was thinking this, he saw his beautiful cousin fall in from outside, fell to the side of his bed with tears in her eyes, and called him "cousin". Then, the girl kneeling in front of the bed grabbed his sleeve, looked up at him carefully, and cried with joy: "I knew that my second cousin would be fine. I accidentally pushed my second cousin before, causing him to fall into the water and get cold. If my second cousin had been in trouble, I would be blamed. Fortunately, fortunately you are fine!"

Lu Xian: “…”

She emphasized the words "I accidentally pushed my second cousin" and looked at him with bright eyes, expecting his cooperation. However, Lu Xian was stunned. Not only was he stunned, he even lost his mind when looking at his cousin's bright face - because this was what happened in the dream.

In the dream, Lu Xian did not react to what Luo Lingyu said. He fell into the water because he was trying to stop Silang and his cousin Huan'er from fighting. After Luo Lingyu finished speaking, his strange reaction reminded Mrs. Lu. Before Lu Xian could figure out the situation, Mrs. Lu frowned and scolded Luo Lingyu. In front of the elders and peers, Luo Lingyu was ashamed and embarrassed. Forced by Mrs. Lu, she had to ask for permission to return to Nanyang.

This is Luo Lingyu's last day at the Lu family...

Even if Lu Xian came to his senses and tried to stop it, it would be of no avail... His mother's words were so harsh, which girl would go back?

Uncontrollably, as the dream overlapped with reality, Lu Erlang's heart began to beat wildly. His face flushed, and he stared at Luo Lingyu's face, wondering if the dream was real? Did he foresee what would happen in the future? But how could this be possible?

Half believing and half doubting, Lu Xian ignored the crying of his cousin Luo at first. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Lu Yun who was standing in the crowd. Even standing in the crowd, he was like a pearl, standing out among the flock of chickens. Lu Yun looked down and met Lu Erlang's eyes. Lu Xian trembled in his heart:

In the dream world, Lu Yun died from thousands of arrows piercing his heart! His third brother, who was still young, died just like that...

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lu Xian broke away from Mrs. Lu's support and let go of his cousin's hand that was holding his sleeve. He stepped down barefoot, his eyes red and eager, with tears in them, more than those in his cousin's eyes. Everyone was stunned and saw Lu Xian running towards the crowd, raising his arms and giving Lu Yun a very warm hug.

Lu Erlang was shaking, trembling all over: "Third brother!"

Lu Yun: “……?” Second brother is crazy?

Mrs. Lu: “……?” What happened to my son?

Luo Lingyu: “……?” Second cousin, don’t you care about me at all?

Lu Erlang hugged Lu Sanlang excitedly. The confusion in Lu Yun's eyes was exactly the same as that of the people watching around him. Everyone looked at Lu Erlang holding Lu Yun and kept repeating: "You are still alive, so good, so good..." He stepped back and looked at Lu Yun's handsome face, feeling extremely sad.

Lu Sanlang took a step back calmly, but was caught up by Lu Xian who took a step forward. Lu Xian held Lu Sanlang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you... You will live a long life, have a good wife and filial children. I will protect you and will never let anyone..."

Lu Yun said calmly: "Someone come and check on my second brother. He seems to have a brain disease."

Mrs. Lu stood up with tears in her eyes and a pale face. She pushed the stunned doctor beside her and said, "My poor Erlang, don't worry, mother will definitely cure your illness... Let go of your third brother first..."

Lu Xian didn't let go: "Third brother! Third brother! I'm not sick, I'm fine! You all go out, I want to talk to you for a while..."
