Chapter 28028 Chu Song's Cheap Brother
Lu Minglin lay stiffly for a long time, trying to calm his pounding heart. He didn't dare move or make a sound. It was probably three or four in the morning, still dark, and everyone was fast asleep.
He really couldn't sleep, and as soon as he closed his eyes he would think of Chu Song.
Lu Minglin simply put on his coat, got out of bed, and tiptoed out of the educated youth site. The night was quiet, and the cold wind made him much more awake.
He walked around aimlessly, wondering why he had that dream. Unfortunately, he walked until dawn and still couldn't figure it out, so he had to go back to the educated youth point.
Seeing him coming back from outside wrapped in cold air, with his hair almost frosted, Cen Zimu looked as if he had seen a ghost. "No, what were you doing so early in the morning?"
"Morning run."
Cen Zimu: “…” It is indeed something that mortals like them cannot understand.
In the middle of winter, before dawn, going for a morning run?!
Too perverted!!
What shocked Cen Zimu even more was that Lu Minglin seemed to be possessed by a ghost and was distracted in everything he did. For example, now, he secretly glanced at him and saw that it had been almost an hour and he hadn't turned a page of the book in his hand.
Something is wrong, something is very wrong!
Cen Zimu hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down in front of the person. "Are you okay?"
Lu Minglin looked up coldly without saying a word, but Cen Zimu had been his brother for so many years that he could understand the look in his eyes.
"No, are you really okay? You've been so absent-minded the whole day today that I almost started to wonder if you were possessed by some evil spirit."
Lu Minglin wanted to shake his head, but he had indeed been acting a little strange lately. So, thinking of giving it his all, he hesitantly asked, "Are dreams illogical? If you had a very strange dream, what could have caused it?"
Cen Zimu's expression suddenly changed, his eyes looked a little obscene, he lowered his voice: "Did you have that kind of dream?" No wonder he had to go out early in the morning to calm down.
He thought that gods like him had no worldly desires.
"Which one?"
"That kind, you know."
Lu Minglin frowned, thought about it carefully, and shook his head to deny it: "Put away your dirty thoughts, it's not that kind of dream!"
Cen Zimu couldn’t figure it out. If it wasn’t that kind of dream, what else could it be?
"So, what did you dream about?"
"Forget it, I can't talk to you at all."
"No, why are you still angry?"
Lu Minglin no longer wanted to pay attention to him.
Cen Zimu suddenly asked, "So you weren't dreaming about Chu Song, were you?"
Lu Minglin almost threw the book in his hand away. He felt guilty for a moment and pretended to be calm: "Why do you ask?"
Cen Zimu's expression suddenly became indescribable. "Brother, is this hard to guess? Every time Chu Song appears, your eyes are almost glued to her. Besides, I have many years of emotional experience after all."
Lu Minglin felt that his emotional experience was not reliable. He had been secretly in love with a female elementary school classmate of his since childhood and had been pursuing her until now, more than ten years later, but there had been no progress at all.
However, he was not the kind of person who liked to expose other people's scars, so he swallowed his complaints silently.
"So, you think I like Chu Song?"
Cen Zimu rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, okay, you don't like it, you don't feel anything at all."
Lu Minglin said stubbornly, "Maybe I just have a slight crush on her. Besides, don't all the educated youth at the educated youth center like her very much? Every time she comes, I don't know how enthusiastic she is."
"Why, are you jealous?"
Lu Minglin subconsciously wanted to refute, but Cen Zimu said bluntly: "Come on, you don't even have the qualifications to be jealous now."
Lu Minglin: “…” He couldn’t refute it.
"Before I went to the countryside, I had never considered dating." He didn't know who he was talking to, so he just kept talking to himself, "I had never considered dating a country girl."
It's not that he discriminates against country people, but he will have to return to the city sooner or later and it is impossible for him to stay in the countryside all his life. He has his own plans and life goals. No matter which path he takes, he will not stay in the countryside.
Knowing that there will be no good ending, it is better not to start in the first place. Lu Minglin sighed softly and asked what love is in this world.
He consoled him, "Brother, if it really doesn't work, try to turn back while the poisoning is still mild."
It’s just a broken heart, it’s just painful, you can always get over it... right?
Yes, Lu Minglin has given up struggling.
He could deceive others but not himself... No, he couldn't even deceive Cen Zimu. He did have some feelings for Chu Song, but it was not too late to turn back now.
After accepting it calmly, Lu Minglin felt a lot more relaxed. Even when Chu Song came to him in the afternoon and gave him rice cakes, he took it as usual, and then handed her a can of pork as if by magic.
Canned meat! Chu Song was so surprised that he could hardly speak, "Brother Minglin! Didn't you say you had finished eating?"
"I remembered it wrongly, there's still a little left." Lu Minglin couldn't say that he had deliberately lied to her before.
"Okay, okay." Having gotten the canned meat she'd been craving, Chu Song didn't bother with the details anymore. She thought to herself, rich people are different. They can even make mistakes when it comes to how many canned meats they have. Unlike her mother, Ms. Ye, who remembers exactly how many candies there are at home, she won't give her any chance to steal any.
"Then, Brother Minglin, I'll go home first?"
"Wait, I want to tell you something."
"What are you talking about?"
"…It's not convenient here, let's go somewhere else."
Then Chu Song was pulled to a small corner by Lu Minglin with a guilty conscience. He took a deep breath, and as if he had rehearsed it long ago, he earnestly introduced Chu Song's family and life plan, and then talked about how they were not suitable for each other.
In short, it's impossible and unrealistic between them.
Chu Song thought with some annoyance that she didn't want to be with him forever, so why not just enjoy the present moment?
But she didn't dare say this out loud, for fear of being considered a scumbag.
Lu Minglin himself sounded a little sad, but if he couldn't guarantee their future, it would be irresponsible to both himself and Chu Song to easily get involved in a relationship.
So, he hardened his heart and said, "You will definitely meet someone better. In my heart, you are more like my sister."
"...younger sister?"
Lu Minglin didn't dare to look at anyone and just nodded randomly.
Unexpectedly, Chu Song's face showed no sadness at all. Instead, she looked like she had heard some great news. "Sister is fine, sister is wonderful!" She said excitedly, "Brother Minglin, no, Brother Lu, let's just become sworn brothers!"
Lu Minglin: “……?”
"Let's become sworn brothers. From now on, we'll be half-brothers and half-sisters, siblings who share all the joys and happiness!"
Young boy Lu Minglin was completely heartbroken. As expected, Chu Song was a bastard and none of his lies could be believed.
It was clearly he who rejected people, and he was also the one who got hurt.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Chu Song thought he had regretted it again, so he quickly explained, "Brother Lu, I just realized that I haven't been clear about my own feelings. My admiration for you is pure brotherly love. From now on, I will never dare to have any vulgar or unreasonable thoughts about you again!"
"From today on, you will be a tall and reliable brother in my heart. You will be the first person I think of when there's something delicious or fun to do. You're my good brother!"
"Hey, Brother Lu, why do you look like that?"
Lu Minglin felt as if his chest had been struck by several more arrows. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm fine. There's no need for sworn brotherhood. It's good that you can recognize your own feelings."
"Oh well."
Chu Song still felt a little regretful. If only she could be registered in the same household registration book with Brother Lu, she would be filial to his parents.
Chu Song inexplicably got a cheap brother who could drop canned meat. He hummed a little song and went home in a good mood.
On the contrary, Lu Minglin looked depressed.
Cen Zimu found that when his good friend came back after going out, he was no longer absent-minded, but had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him money and he went to collect the debt but was beaten up instead.
Tsk, he sighed again and asked what love was in this world.
When Chu Song returned home, she hid the canned meat in the desk immediately. Considering that Ye Xiuzhi discovered the "stolen goods" last time, she was more careful this time and hid it tightly.
However, before she could enjoy the hard-earned canned meat, a major event happened in the Chu family: Chai Xueqi was about to give birth and was sent to the county hospital.
In fact, in this era, especially in rural areas, most people give birth at home with an experienced midwife. Unless the birth is difficult, no one wants to go to the hospital. If the birth is difficult, it is often too late to rush the mother to the hospital.
Therefore, seeing that Chai Xueqi was about to give birth, Chu Song firmly opposed giving birth at home. She used scientific knowledge and intimidation to finally scare the entire Chu family.
Finally, Ye Xiuzhi made the final decision: "Go to the hospital! Safety and hygiene are the most important, not the money!"
As the only woman in the Chu family with childbirth experience, Ye Xiuzhi naturally had to go to the hospital to accompany her. Not only did she go by herself, she also dragged Chu Song over with her. The reason was, firstly, she was not at home to keep the peace and was worried that Chu Song would make a big fuss. Secondly, it was said that the first person a child sees after birth will determine his or her appearance and brain.
In their family, Chu Song is the most handsome and has the most active brain. Ye Xiuzhi told her idea to Chai Xueqi, and Chai Xueqi agreed on the spot. She even drove away her husband Chu Hang who wanted to accompany her.
Although she had a lot of complaints about her sister-in-law, she also hoped that her child would look like her.
Chu Song was critical of this: "This is feudal superstition. Feudal superstition is not acceptable. The first person a child sees when he is born should be a doctor!"
Ye Xiuzhi slapped her and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'll buy you something delicious when we get to the county town."
Chu Song shamefully surrendered, okay.
Save the canned meat for now and eat it when she comes back from the hospital.
So, the group rushed to the county hospital in a mighty procession.
Although the New Year was approaching, there were still many people in the hospital, coming and going. Ye Xiuzhi carefully protected the pregnant Chai Xueqi. Chu Song asked them to wait while he completed the formalities by himself and successfully paid the fee to be admitted to the hospital.
Sitting in the ward, Ye Xiuzhi asked, "How much did you pay?"
"Not much, two dollars."
"Oh, and what about the rest of the money?"
Chu Song felt her pocket but didn't find it. She changed to another pocket but still couldn't find it. Her face changed slightly.
"What's wrong? Did you lose your money?" Her reaction naturally did not escape Ye Xiuzhi's eyes. She was worried because it was easy to encounter pickpockets in crowded places like this.
Chu Song pouted in grievance and looked at people pitifully.
Ye Xiuzhi's heart sank. Oh no, she was really pickedpocketed!
"Haha, I was just kidding. It's all here!" The next second, Chu Song took out the remaining money from his other pocket and said, "Here, here you go."
Ye Xiuzhi: “…”
Chai Xueqi: “…”
Chu Song was so stubborn that he finally behaved himself after being scolded.
Ye Xiuzhi was so angry at the girl's actions that she almost called the police. She reminded her angrily, "It didn't get lost this time, but you better be more careful next time. There are so many people in the hospital, it's easy for pickpockets to sneak in. If you really lose something, you won't even have anything to cry about."
Chu Song was very confident: "I'm not that stupid!"
"You don't know how skilled pickpockets are these days. I think you should learn from me. Wrap your money in multiple layers and stuff it inside your innermost clothes. That's the safest way."
"I know, I know." Chu Song agreed superficially. She had seen the way Ye Xiuzhi kept her money. She wrapped it in three layers inside and three layers outside, and then put it close to her body... It was really too tacky!
Chu Song thought that even if she was dressed as a country girl, she was still the prettiest girl in the area and she would never use such a tacky way of putting money.
So it became a tragedy.
On the second day in the hospital, Chu Song was horrified to find that the pocket money she had saved for several months, her precious little piggy bank, was gone.
Gone!!!
