Chu Changliu reached out and hooked Zhou Ping's hand, then gently shook Zhou Ping's hand and tried to ingratiate himself by placing Zhou Ping's hand on his face.
She gently kissed the inside of his wrist, where the blue veins were showing, before speaking, "If I want to take the college entrance exam in three months..."
"You might have to support me from now on, brother." Chu Changliu did the math. He was 20 years old now, it was spring of 2019, and he would be 22 by the time he finished university...
"Huh?" Zhou Ping was so shocked by his brother's call that he almost lost his mind.
His dark eyes were stunned for a long time, unable to remember what he wanted to say, and he just kept nodding.
“Look, the only schools for upgrading from junior college to university are within the province. You’re about to graduate… and I don’t want to be separated from you.” Chu Changliu explained slowly. Seeing that Zhou Ping’s gaze was somewhat unfocused, he reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist, pressing his whole body against him.
"You can't stay this far away from me... I..."
He opened his mouth, blushed, but still said very clearly with his eyes closed, "I love you."
Zhou Ping's eyes widened suddenly. He hugged Chu Changliu, who was snuggling into his arms, and said, "Take whatever you want to take..."
"Go, go to school for a lifetime, I'd do it." He was usually a man of few words, and now he was even more at a loss for words, only offering unwavering affirmation.
He added at the end, "I will work hard to earn money to support you."
Hearing him say that, Chu Changliu couldn't help but laugh.
He looks beautiful when he smiles; his eyebrows and eyes curve, and his delicate face is shimmering with light in his clear, blue eyes, making him seem to glow.
"How can I let my brother get tired?" He took Zhou Ping's hand and walked outside.
019 clicked his tongue a few times, resignedly following along. [This Chu Changliu is pretending to be young again.]
"Where are we going?" Zhou Ping didn't realize what was happening until he was pulled out. He followed behind Chu Changliu with some confusion.
"To make money." Chu Changliu looked around, found a scratch-off lottery shop, pushed open the door and went inside.
"What style do you want? We have styles for 10, 20, and 50 yuan," the shop owner greeted.
"I need five bills." Chu Changliu stepped forward, casually picked out five bills, and then turned to Zhou Ping. "Brother, I need money."
Seeing that he had already made his selection, Zhou Ping didn't ask him how he planned to make money from this, and went forward to pay.
Chu Changliu acted quickly. After Zhou Ping paid, he had already scratched off a card and handed it to Zhou Ping, who was standing behind him. "7000."
The proprietress laughed and said, "You guys are really lucky. You won the prize on your first visit."
The next second, Chu Changliu stuffed another bill into Zhou Ping's hand, "Thirty-two thousand."
This one is doubled.
The proprietress was surprised by the man's good luck. She leaned closer to take a look and found that he had indeed won.
Chu Changliu scratched two more cards and handed them over, saying, "These two cards total sixty-seven thousand."
There was one last scratch left. He stretched out his hand to Zhou Ping. "Hand."
Zhou Ping glanced at Chu Changliu, who was looking unusually serious, and hesitantly extended his hand. He spoke softly, "I'm unlucky..."
"How could that be? Brother must have the best luck." Chu Changliu smiled at him, then took his hand and started scraping it.
"Besides, my brother bought so many, he can't just not play any of them, can he?"
He carefully held Zhou Ping's hand and scraped off all the coating, one stroke at a time. When he saw the pattern, he smiled and said, "Ah... it's a 670,000."
After handing over the card, the proprietress looked at it again and again, and it really was.
The proprietress readily transferred the money to the two people. While transferring the money, Chu Changliu took out Zhou Ping's phone, opened the QR code, and handed it to the proprietress, saying, "Transfer it."
After the taxes were deducted, and with the sound of the money arriving in his account, Zhou Ping was still somewhat dazed until Chu Changliu pulled him out.
"elder brother."
“Shang Yan.”
The two called out to each other almost simultaneously, and then looked up at each other.
"I can't accept this money," Zhou Ping said, clutching his phone, intending to transfer it to Chu Changliu.
"It's all for you, why don't you want it?" Chu Changliu asked, tilting his head in confusion. Then he added, "Don't worry, brother, I didn't cheat. The money just came to me on its own."
Zhou Ping:......
“I’m very lucky, you can manage the money.” Chu Changliu then dragged Zhou Ping to the mobile phone store in a hurry. “I’ll go to sleep again in a little while. I have money now, and I want to change my phone. I want a new one, brother.”
Zhou Ping was pulled into the mobile phone store by him. Chu Changliu kept calling him "brother" over and over again, making Zhou Ping feel like his soul was about to fly away.
"I want the best of these, give me two," Chu Changliu said with a smile as he stood in front of the cabinet.
Zhou Ping then came to his senses, only to find that Chu Changliu had already opened his phone and paid the bill.
As Chu Changliu left with the new phone, he noticed that Chu Changliu still wanted to return the money, which annoyed him.
"Brother, don't you like me?"
"No... I like you," Zhou Ping explained somewhat flusteredly, wanting to transfer the money to Chu Changliu, but because the amount was too large, he couldn't transfer too much at once through Xiaolvxin.
"My mother once said that if you love your wife, you should spend money on her." Chu Changliu rummaged through the few remaining fragments of his memory, treating these few words as a profound truth.
After saying that, he added quietly, "Husband, it's the same."
This was the first time Zhou Ping had faced Chu Changliu like this, and he earnestly and sincerely told him he loved him without reservation.
"But..." Zhou Ping swallowed the words, "I have nothing to give you," and fell silent again.
Chu Changliu narrowed his emerald eyes and stared at the anxious young man for a while. The next second, he pounced on Zhou Ping and hugged him tightly, lifting his face to kiss his neck, leaving behind a trail of intimate marks.
He kissed her on tiptoe for a while, like a little animal seeking pleasure, before saying, "Don't feel uneasy, and don't feel that you are not good enough for these things. You deserve everything from me."
“You’re so kind, it’s only natural for me to be kind to you,” he patiently guided and explained. “Besides, I don’t spend money; this money would probably be gone in less than two days with me…”
"So you'll have to manage it, and we'll spend it together from now on." As he said this, Chu Changliu clearly felt that the unease between Zhou Ping's brows had lessened considerably.
“Okay, I’ll take care of it,” Zhou Ping said, reaching out to touch the ahoge (cowlick) on Chu Changliu’s head.
Chu Changliu smiled at him, "Don't you want to know why I won the lottery?"
Zhou Ping followed up by asking, "Why?"
He was genuinely curious about this; winning the lottery with five tickets each time... what incredible luck!
"Yes, I'm very lucky. You just need to know that even if you pierce my heart with the Dragon Elephant Sword, even if there's only a 0.001% chance that the Dragon Elephant Sword will miss, it will definitely miss for me."
"I don't want to hear that kind of analogy."
————————————————————
You can understand it this way.
Shang Yan is essentially Chu Changliu in a state of amnesia, while Chu Changliu possesses all his memories (including Shang Yan's).
Chu Changliu is a god from another world, and there will be a connection with Shen Juan's book much later on.
