Chapter 88 Chapter 88 End of the text
Fortunately, everyone was able to avoid the situation safely and no one was injured.
It was just that Lu Xuan was severely frozen, and the rain and hail in the extreme weather caused him to have allergic symptoms. In addition, his emotions were a bit fluctuating, so he started to have a fever when he came back. After the doctor treated him, he lay in the hospital and slept.
He was staying in the VIP ward, and a rest room was also prepared for his family members who were accompanying him.
Qiao Wu sat on the sofa outside. With the doctor's instructions, she was no longer worried about Lu Xuan's health. She just kept thinking about what he said before getting on the ambulance.
Suddenly, someone pulled my hand over and touched the warm glass.
Lu Jinzhi sat down beside her: "Drink some warm water."
Qiao Wu raised her glass of water and took a sip. Although she was not caught in the rain, her body was still cold. Only after drinking the water did she feel her breathing became much calmer.
I couldn't help but look at him again.
The latter gently rubbed her head, then gently wrapped her cold hand: "What are you afraid of?"
Qiao Wu held the cup and whispered, "I think I did something wrong too."
She's a little too conceited.
I thought that many things didn’t need to be said, and I could handle them alone.
But the time span of twelve years is particularly overlooked.
If she really can't come back, then she is not an old friend, but an old acquaintance.
She has a God's perspective and feels that the past does not need to be mentioned, but she is always ahead of others.
But Lu Xuan and the others knew nothing and were truly waiting for her.
Even a genius like Lu Jinzhi couldn't predict whether she would come back or not, and there was nothing he could do, not to mention Lu Xuan and the others.
Lu Jinzhi looked at her for a few seconds, then asked with a smile, "Are you a deity?"
"What?"
"Even gods have their own responsibilities; they're not omnipotent. Besides, you're not a god. You're just a wuwu." Lu Jinzhi said softly, "Not everything can be simply judged by right or wrong. You're not wrong."
After a pause, he added, "Neither has he."
To be honest, he felt that Lu Xuan's IQ was relatively low and he was not mature enough.
But he couldn't find fault with Lu Xuan in this matter.
All I can say is that it is equivalent to Lu Xuan's thinking logic.
Lu Jinzhi said slowly: "If there is any fault, it is mine."
"you?"
"Um."
As the older brother, he was the first to discover this, but he didn't tell anyone.
He initially thought it was no big deal, but later acted out of his own selfish motives.
So this is his fault.
But he is an egoist and does not think that this concealment is a heinous crime. This is his rational property and his private wealth, so it is right not to share it.
He smiled: "You feel sorry for him."
Qiao Wu did not deny it.
Who wouldn’t feel sorry for Lu Xuan seeing him like that?
He is the one who can't stand hardship the most.
Lu Jinzhi said with some regret: "I took too good care of myself."
“…”
Seeing that she was not as gloomy as before, Lu Jinzhi leaned over and hugged her lightly. Without a trace of lust, he patted her on the back twice as if patting a child: "Be kind to yourself."
Qiao Wu rested his chin on his shoulder and understood what he meant.
In fact, the biggest victim should be herself.
She blinked and said honestly, "I'm fine."
She had not been overly sad in the past, but the changes she had witnessed in others during the twelve years she was trapped were what made her feel sorry for them.
Lu Jinzhi agreed with her: "Well, I'm the one who's in trouble."
Those complicated thoughts were gradually relieved in this hug. Qiao Wu closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it, so as not to let these negative emotions affect himself.
After a while, Lu Jiang, who saw the news, called.
Lu Jinzhi got up to answer the phone, so Qiao Wu put the cup on the table and went to the door of Lu Xuan's room to see if his allergic symptoms had gone away.
It was red and swollen, which was heartbreaking to see.
When she pushed the door open, Lu Xuan was still asleep.
Qiao Wu originally just wanted to take a look at his arms, but when he pulled his sleeves up a little, he felt the man shrink.
She paused and looked up.
The person on the bed still didn't open his eyes. She laughed and pulled the chair next to him and sat down: "Are you still itchy?"
Unable to pretend any longer, Lu Xuan finally opened his eyes.
My body is itchy.
But he ignored it for the time being.
Just staring at her intently.
If she hadn't appeared at that time, he could have held on for a few more days.
But when I saw her, I couldn't care less about anything else.
He had a lot to say, but at this moment, his chest was stuck and he couldn't say anything. In the end, he just sat up.
"Are you hurt?" he asked in rapid succession, "Have you been bullied? Have you suffered a lot? Did you come here alone..."
Qiao Wu interrupted him: "Lu Xuan."
Lu Xuan was speechless.
He lowered his eyes, blinked a few times in restraint, and suppressed the wet feeling. He said in a sore throat, "Twelve years."
He seemed to be having trouble breathing and exhaled heavily: "Even the princess has grown up."
I thought it was just a blink of an eye.
But looking back now, every detail and every step of the way are clear proof that twelve years is really a long time.
It was so old that when he realized this, he didn't dare to think about it carefully.
Think about what happened to her.
Qiao Wu asked gently, "Are you worried about me?"
Lu Xuan nodded silently.
"I haven't been hurt, I haven't been bullied, I haven't suffered, and I didn't get through this alone." Qiao Wu patiently answered his questions one by one. "Don't worry about me, I've actually been fine."
Then he said, "I don't blame you either."
"Of course you won't blame me." Lu Xuan murmured, "You will never blame me."
He was blaming himself.
Qiao Wu took the remote control and opened the curtains. After the light gradually illuminated the room, he asked him, "What about you?"
Lu Xuan hadn't recovered from his emotions yet, and subconsciously answered: "Me?"
"How are you doing? Have you been hurt, suffered, or been bullied over the years?"
Lu Xuan suddenly looked up.
Looking into the light eyes of the person sitting in front of her, just like countless times in the past, even though she had become the 22-year-old Qiao Wu, her eyes had never changed.
"What kind of hardship can I endure?" he said.
No one dared to make him suffer, and no one dared to bully him.
But he is not living well.
"So I'm like you. There's no need for us to blame each other for the past." Qiao Wu said, "Anyway, we'll all live happily ever after, right?"
On the surface, no one suffered.
But in fact, some suffering is not physical, and no one can escape it.
So although Lu Jinzhi finds it difficult to empathize with other people's emotions, he can see these things more clearly and rationally.
He is right, it cannot be judged by right or wrong.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" Qiao Wu asked. "The crew is temporarily giving us a week's holiday. We'll go back together after you've rested well."
In the past, going home was what Lu Xuan looked forward to most.
Qiao Wu coming to pick him up was what he had been looking forward to most.
It's just that things are different now.
He looked at Qiao Wu and said, "I met Cui Sitong at the airport that day. He said you were consulting about the studio. I heard from Lin Tiao yesterday that you are an investor in the crew."
He wanted to ask, why are you doing this.
But I also think this question is stupid.
So he changed the question: "Qiao Wu, am I important to you?"
Qiao Wu didn't hesitate at all.
He will know these things sooner or later, so he will not deny his bias towards him.
"You are all important to me." She smiled, "You forget that we are family. I have a preference for both of you."
"We." Lu Xuan repeated it several times, then nodded. "Yes, you said I'm your brother."
After he finished speaking, he even laughed: "Isn't the generational structure messed up?"
"What?"
Lu Xuan said, "Lu Jinzhi also wants to call me brother."
Qiao Wu was stunned.
Seeing that she was a little surprised, Lu Xuan didn't look into her eyes any more: "He treats me like a stupid dog, do you too?"
He sat up but fell back down again, pulling the quilt over half of his face.
"I'll sleep a little longer," he said. "I'm fine."
In this case, Qiao Wu didn't say anything more.
She closed the curtains for him and walked out.
Lu Jinzhi had finished his call. He stood at the door and looked inside, meeting Lu Xuan's eyes as he lay on the bed.
The latter glared at him fiercely and turned his back to him.
Lu Jinzhi withdrew his gaze indifferently and closed the door.
"Are you done talking?"
"Yeah." Qiao Wu finally relaxed a little and sat back on the sofa. Seeing that he must have finished his call long ago, he asked, "It should be fine. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Lu Jinzhi put down his phone: "No."
He didn't sit down.
Qiao Wu looked up in confusion.
Then Lu Jinzhi took off her glasses and gently hooked her chin with the legs of the glasses.
Without a word, he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
Then he kissed her on the lips again.
It was a short, but hard bite on her lower lip.
He didn't say a word, and after the kiss, it was as if nothing had happened. He then slowly put her glasses on.
Qiao Wu: “?”
Seeing Lu Jinzhi sit down again after the kiss, pick up the glass of water she had placed on the table and drink it all in one gulp, she was at a loss the whole time.
"What did uncle say again?"
It must be that Lu Jiang made him angry.
Seeing that she was about to go back and teach Lu Jiang a lesson, Lu Jinzhi couldn't help but smile and kissed her forehead: "It's okay."
I just feel a little jealous because I see the puppy is so clingy.
He had seen Guo Liyan's subtle eyes, and also seen Chen Yan's blatant coveting, and he understood his own desire to possess her from the beginning to the end, so he did not take Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi's little quarrels too seriously.
But that doesn't mean we are completely indifferent.
I don't even have the slightest doubt that if time goes on, those two puppies will develop the same emotions as other people.
That's why he gradually guided them to see through the intimacy between him and Qiao Wu, and nipped their ignorance in the bud.
Although they are a little stupid, their bottom line is clear.
This is his experience in raising dogs over the years.
So, being stupid also has its advantages.
In the room, Lu Xuan, who had said he was going to sleep, did not fall asleep.
The sounds outside gradually became blurred, and finally he could no longer hear what Lu Jinzhi and Qiao Wu were saying.
He sniffed.
He knew clearly in his heart that there was no need for him to ask any more questions, and there was no need to question them.
It wasn't just because he didn't recognize Qiao Wu.
Or because of himself.
Everyone has come out of those twelve years, but Lu Jinzhi has come to this day.
However, he and Lu Yingchi lived in the past in a daze and acted on impulse, and even the basic sense of right and wrong was blurred.
It was his mistake not to recognize Qiao Wu.
But it was also his fault that he had developed into this state.
He still looks forward to a close relationship with Qiao Wu.
She is back.
It was just like what he had always thought, just like twelve years ago, being a brother who could protect her.
He can afford it.
Lu Ning is not good enough, Lu Yingchi is not good enough, and Lu Jinzhi is even worse off.
Only he is.
Lu Jinzhi will have to call him brother when the time comes.
Awesome PLUS.
Well, that's it.
He closed his eyes.
-
The next day, the three of them returned to North City together.
Lu Xuan's allergic symptoms had disappeared, but some red marks were still there. He wrapped himself tightly and rushed into the door with his head down as soon as he got out of the car.
Anyway, I must not let Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning see me in my current state.
Otherwise, his black fans’ super topic will definitely have more revelations.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, two shadows rushed out from the side and hit him with something in the blink of an eye.
It took Lu Xuan a while to notice that Lu Ning and Lu Yingchi were holding two large handfuls of green leaves.
The two of them were muttering to themselves as if they were performing a shaman act.
"Fuck!" Lu Xuan's exposed hand was slapped so hard that it hurt. He grabbed Lu Ning's hand and said, "What are you doing?"
"Grapefruit leaf." Lu Ning, who was caught, still grabbed a leaf and covered the back of his hand, which was red from being beaten, and said guiltily, "I'm trying to get rid of your bad luck."
Lu Xuan's forehead twitched: "Luckily you still recognize the grapefruit leaf."
"I checked it specifically." Lu Ning struggled for a moment, "Let me go. We've prepared hand sanitizer for you."
Childish or not.
Lu Xuan finally let her go.
Lu Yingchi brought a basin and slammed it down in front of him. He plucked all the remaining pomelo leaves and threw them into the basin: "Hurry up, while it's hot."
Lu Xuan walked forward and took a look.
The color of the basin full of honey made him feel like it was a basin of sulfuric acid.
He reached out and touched it symbolically.
Then the flying block retracts.
He grabbed the vine that Lu Yingchi had used to pluck the leaves and started whipping him with it.
"..." He couldn't stand it any longer. "What a bad luck! This is boiling water!"
Lu Ning hid aside: "The book says that only boiling water can boil away bad luck!"
"Didn't the book tell you not to wash your hands with boiling water?!" Lu Xuan didn't let her go and slapped her on the butt. "I'll put you in there and boil you. See if that can get rid of your bad academic luck?" "Humph."
Not knowing the kindness of others.
Lu Ning took the basin away and took the opportunity to destroy the body.
Qiao Wu was afraid that she would burn herself by holding the basin again, and he didn't know what other "clever ideas" the two older kids inside were up to, so he hurried over to see what was going on.
There were only three brothers left outside the door.
Lu Yingchi looked at Lu Jinzhi, who had a dull expression, and was about to remind him that the internet was full of rumors about him and Qiao Wu.
As a result, Lu Jinzhi walked to the place where the family rules were hung in the house.
Everything written here was originally used to restrain people other than Lu Jinzhi, including the so-called goals, which are still valid as of the end of last semester.
"I passed all the exams," Lu Yingchi said with a straight face. "Not only did I pass, but I also got the highest GPA in my major."
He was sitting in the first row listening to the lecture and joking.
Don't try to find fault with me!
Lu Xuan also pinched the branch and said, "Anyway, I go to work every day."
He even stretched out his hand: "See, these are all work injuries!"
The two men stared at Lu Jinzhi with eager eyes, and if he mocked them again today, they would hit him with the branch.
Then report it to the central government.
In the end, they waited and waited, but got nothing.
Lu Jinzhi didn't even look at them.
He simply picked up the black pen that was placed nearby for tutoring Lu Ning and wrote three words on the lower right corner of the first piece of paper with the house rules printed on it.
The end of the land.
After finishing, he put down his pen, turned around and glanced at the two puppies who were eager to try, and smiled: "Well done."
"?"
“???”
After Lu Jinzhi walked a long way away, the stunned Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi finally reacted.
The two of them shuddered in unison.
Lu Xuan shook off his goose bumps. "He's the one who needs to get rid of the bad luck! He's been infected by something dirty."
Lu Yingchi said nothing, but just kept sweeping himself with the pomelo leaves.
Get rid of bad luck. Get rid of bad luck.
Qiao Wu only felt relieved after he supervised Lu Ning in handling the water.
The path was littered with scattered leaves left by Lu Ning and Lu Yingchi. Lu Ning knew she had to clean them up, so she tactfully called the servants.
Qiao Wu leaned over and picked up two of the pieces. He took one piece for himself and handed the other to Lu Jinzhi who was walking over: "Let's sweep it too."
Lu Jinzhi smiled.
He gently tucked his piece between the first and second buttons of Qiao Wu's coat.
"I'll give you Lu Jinzhi's too," he said. "Wuwu, I hope you will be safe and sound from now on."
Qiao Wu looked down at the green and smiled.
She walked out with Lu Jinzhi, and at this time, Lu Yingchi and Lu Xuan were no longer on the first floor.
"Where are the people?"
Lu Jinzhi stood one step behind her and said, "Have fun."
Qiao Wu turned around.
But this time his eyes did not fall on Lu Jinzhi, but followed his gaze to the family rules on the wall.
What she told Lu Jiang at the beginning was just a little game to bluff people.
At this time, there were three more names on it.
The end of the land.
Lu Xuan.
Lu Ying Pond.
Everyone's handwriting is different, some are flying and some are phoenix-like, yet they are neatly arranged next to the sycamore leaf.
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows.
Then, a small hand holding a pen emerged from the bottom.
Lu Ning, who had already run back, tried to tiptoe and write her name on it, saying stubbornly, "Don't try to isolate me."
But when she really put pen to paper, she remembered something and turned back.
"Second Uncle." She pouted, "I can write here."
She has been practicing calligraphy for a semester.
I can write my own name well.
Lu Jinzhi didn't say anything, but just pulled a chair over for her.
Lu Ning was immediately happy. She climbed onto the chair and added her own name under the three names one by one.
Seeing this, Qiao Wu knew why Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi were nowhere to be seen.
I have no face to stay here doing such childish things.
Lu Jinzhi's name was written at the top.
It goes without saying who started it.
She smiled, turned around and looked at Lu Jinzhi, asking knowingly, "Why did you suddenly think of writing this?"
Lu Jinzhi also laughed: "Why do you do that? Why do I do that?"
Qiao Wu looked at the names again.
Now Lu Ning has been added.
Lu Jinzhi is not a naive person, and there is no other meaning behind his writing down the name.
He just wanted to tell everyone that he was still like Lu Jiang or Big Brother in the past, and he would always stand here and by her side.
As for Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi, they probably understood what he meant.
That's why I wasn't so competitive the first time, but secretly wrote my name below.
She whispered, "Lu Jinzhi, I had a dream."
"Um?"
"I dreamed." Qiao Wu's eyes were shining with light as he emerged from the dark dream. "I dreamed that we all grew up well and everyone was living a good life."
Lu Jinzhi stood beside her and gently stroked her brow: "Are you awake now?"
"Yeah." Qiao Wu smiled, "It turns out it wasn't a dream."
