Lu Pei was eating his favorite food, sitting in the seat where Zhang Lili was, staring at the few people with strange looks in their eyes.
Why are you so strange seeing him come back to life? You're staring at him like you've seen a ghost.
Author: You really were a ghost back then...
"Please sit down, don't be shy. You must be tired after a long day of travel. Lin Xiao, come here, I have something to tell you."
Lu Yu realized that this matter was not so simple, and without saying a word, he knew that Lin Xiao, that idiot, had been hiding something from him again.
He went straight up, pushed Lin Xiao aside, and walked to Lu Pei to ask him what was going on.
"Lu Pei, are you the only one who has been resurrected? Where are Mom and Dad?!"
Lu Pei glanced at his younger brother, who was clearly angry. He was indeed different from before. At least it wasn't just arguing anymore.
"Foolish little brother, how can you talk to your older brother like that? This is not the time to talk about this. Don't you care about what Lin Xiao did?"
Hearing Lu Pei's teasing, Lu Yu wasn't angry, because he already knew the reason. They were acting like idiots, being played without even realizing it.
"Heh, really? I already know about the one you're talking about, he's just my brother. Aren't you going to deal with this boring Ming? Are you just going to let him run rampant like this?"
With a smile playing on her lips, she spoke in a tone that showed no regard for Lu Pei as her brother, and threw a tantrum.
"Alright, it's just a small thing, why are you making such a fuss? Do you remember it's your birthday today? I did this on purpose."
Lin Xiao almost swore. These two expressionless people never argued. But the three of them together were always arguing!
"Oh, I almost forgot today is my silly little brother's birthday. I'm so sorry I didn't prepare a gift."
Lu Pei laughed, wanting to tease his sulking younger brother, who used to be so cute and chubby.
It felt nice to hold in my hand, how did it change so suddenly? It's not cute at all!
"It's okay, I've got everything ready. You're his birthday present, Lu Yu, don't pretend."
"You were just talking to me about how you're going to see your brother. I told you that as long as you come, that's all that matters."
"Also, I still need you to tell us their weaknesses, according to reliable sources. They will send assassins to kill me tonight."
Lin Xiao handed the cake to the butler, telling him to put it aside for now. He snorted and laughed at the group for overestimating themselves, thinking they could kidnap him by sending ten men.
Seeing Lin Xiao's serious expression, Lu Yu knew he was unhappy again. Every time things got dangerous, he didn't want Lin Xiao to rescue him and would do it all by himself!
“I’ll go in his place.”
"Alright, stop fooling around. It's settled then. Now, Brother Pei, I'll have to trouble you to hide it. I'm so sorry, I asked you to come, but now I'm the one who has to hide it."
"I didn't even spend a proper birthday with Lu Yu."
The argument between the two stopped after Lin Xiao scolded them. Lu Yu was properly arranged by Lin Xiao to sleep in Zhang Lili's guest room, while Lu Yu slept in the second bedroom with Zhang Lili.
Put some things on the master bedroom floor so they'll think Lin Xiao is there.
That night, there were fewer pedestrians outside because the wind blowing in near dawn was a bit cold, so there were few people.
A noise came from Zhang Lili's villa, and a group of uninvited guests entered through the window. The masked man was Lan Tian, and his clothes made it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
