Chapter 207 A family of six, neatly arranged
Suddenly, the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other came from the phone receiver. Lu Shiman didn't hear her brother's voice, and her heart tightened for a moment: "Brother, you didn't get beaten too?"
"No, you can hit me, but you can't." Lu Shiman said as he was about to take his coat and go out: "Brother, wait, I'll take Ji Linshen to help you get revenge."
Lu Yannan's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed and choked, his larynx scraping against his shirt collar, making a slight friction sound. A gentle low laugh came through the receiver: "No."
Hearing his brother's laughter, Lu Shiman finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, come quickly, I found some wine in your room."
"Lu Shiman!"
"Brother, come and protect me, this is... Third brother, where is this?"
"Tell my eldest brother that it's my coming-of-age gift, and he'll know." Lu Jianheng took out two more bottles of wine, and the water droplets condensed on the bottles fell on the leather sofa.
"Big brother is at the place where the third brother had his coming-of-age ceremony. We'll be waiting for you." Lu Shiman said, and then sweetly reminded him, "Don't worry, be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiman said with a triumphant look: "Lu Laosan, just wait, my backer will be here soon~"
Lu Chixu held the wine glass and looked at Lu Shiman. He shook the glass lightly, and the ice cubes hit the wall of the glass with a crisp sound. The smile in his eyes covered the heartache.
Ji Linshen wrapped the ice pack with a towel and tried the thickness three times. He was afraid that Lu Shiman would be frozen, so he finally wrapped it with two more layers of cashmere scarf that belonged to someone unknown, and sat beside her, gently applying pressure to her red and swollen right cheek.
The melted ice seeped through the fabric, leaving dark, circular marks on his knees.
The takeout was delivered one after another. Lu Qiyun went back and forth again, and finally just stood at the entrance and waited with the door open.
When Lu Yannan arrived, Lu Qijun was standing there like a door god.
"What's wrong? Is the air conditioning too strong and you were asked to stand at the door as punishment?" Lu Yannan stepped into the entrance hall and glanced into the house.
The crystal chandelier illuminated the room, and the light shone on the most important person in his life.
Lu Yannan stood at the entrance, looking at the sofa area with a smile.
Lu Shiman sat in the middle seat, Ji Linshen helped her apply ice to her cheeks, Lu Chixu fed her cake spoonful by spoonful, and Lu Jianheng stood in front of the screen, looking for the movie according to her instructions.
Several more takeouts were delivered. Lu Qiyun used his third brother's phone to check the order and confirmed that it was the last one before closing the door and turning around.
"Brother, please make way." Lu Qijun filled his hands with the takeout bags and placed them on the dining table. After opening each item, he placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
He is a service staff who is dedicated to his job.
When Lu Shiman heard the voice of his fourth brother, he turned his head sharply and shouted, "Big..."
Lu Chixu just happened to scoop a spoonful of cake and was putting it towards her mouth.
The moment he turned around, the cake was stuffed into his mouth unexpectedly. The edge of the silver spoon hit his palate, causing Lu Shiman to gag and choke on cocoa powder in his throat.
"...Brother." After adding the name, he coughed violently, and cocoa powder sprayed all over Lu Chixu's face.
Seeing this, Lu Qiyun brought a glass of water over and used his elbow to push Lu Chixu's shoulder blade apart: "It's useless."
Lu Chixu was suddenly pulled down onto the sofa by the force. Afraid that the cake his sister was about to eat would fall, he raised his hands to maintain his balance.
Lu Shiman coughed so hard that tears came out. He tightly grasped the front of Ji Linshen's shirt with his right hand. While coughing, he looked at Lu Yannan and smiled: "Big... cough cough... brother... cough..."
Lu Yannan unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his shirt to his forearms, sighed helplessly, walked forward, took the cup from his brother's hand, tested the water temperature before placing the rim of the cup against her lips.
"Drink some water first. I'm not going to run away from here, so it's okay if you don't yell."
"Second brother, you have to change your impulsive nature." Lu Jianheng took out a wet wipe and casually covered Lu Chixu's face with it.
He was a little tired of standing, so he sat down on the sofa next to him with the remote control.
Lu Chixu placed the cake on the coffee table, wiped the cocoa powder off his face, wrapped the melted chocolate sauce in a wet tissue, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at Lu Jianheng.
The paper ball hit Lu Jianheng's eyebrows right in the middle.
"You can't even shut up when choosing a movie, right?" he said, propping himself up with his arms and trying to sit up. As soon as he stood up, Lu Qijun patted his shoulder and pulled him back down.
"Lu Qiyun!" The back of his head hit the sofa cushion.
"Don't make noise." Lu Qiyun sat down next to Lu Shiman and stared at her red face from coughing: "I'll do it."
His second brother is good for nothing except lighting the barrels of explosives, and can't even feed a cake properly.
Lu Shiman drank several sips of water before she recovered. She looked at Lu Yannan with tears in her eyes: "It's all my fault that my eldest brother didn't say anything. I was stabbed by my second brother."
She opened her mouth and pointed inside: "The skin is broken."
Lu Yannan pinched the armrest of the sofa with his knuckles, leaving a dent, glared at Lu Chixu, but ultimately said nothing.
"Sister, if you don't decide what to watch, it will be dawn soon." Lu Jianheng threw the paper ball thrown by his second brother into the trash can.
Lu Shiman leaned over to Ji Linshen, made room for an empty seat, and patted it: "Brother, sit down."
Ji Lin's deep eyelashes cast a trembling shadow under the ceiling light. He put down the ice pack and took out the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine.
Before dipping your fingertips into the ointment, warm it in your palm for three seconds and gently apply it on her cheeks.
The movements were extremely gentle, and the ointment melted into a transparent film with the body temperature. Because of the pain, he held his breath every time he touched it, and his fingers trembled involuntarily.
The Adam's apple rolled up and down with the swallowing movement, and the thin sweat oozing from the tip of the nose was mixed with the aroma of medicine.
"Third brother, that, that horror movie." Lu Shiman suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a movie whose cover looked scary.
"That's it. Fourth brother, turn off the lights. Only in darkness can you feel it."
When Lu Qiyun heard her words, he immediately stood up and walked to the light switch and was about to turn off the light.
Lu Jianheng used his phone to turn off the crystal chandelier immediately. He glanced at Lu Qiyun and said, "You old-fashioned guy, do you understand what a smart home is?"
"nerve!"
"You're scared and crying and no one will comfort you." Lu Chixu sat up, picked up a skewer of steaming beef and handed it to her. The tip of the bamboo skewer turned in the moment he handed it to her.
"I'm not afraid. Third Brother would definitely be afraid." Lu Shiman bit the piece of meat on his wrist and tore it apart. Her eyes lit up and she poked the greasy bamboo stick to Lu Yannan's lips: "It's delicious."
Lu Yannan took it and took a bite.
The projection screen was playing the eerie soundtrack of the opening credits, and the lively atmosphere in the room was not focused on Ji Linshen.
Filtering out all the noise, the only thing in his eyes was Lu Shiman's red and swollen cheeks.
The ointment reflected his tense pupils, as if the scar was a scar branded on his heart.
His eyes fell on her slightly curled lips. Ji Linshen wiped the chili powder from the corner of her mouth with a tissue and looked at her quietly.
Her heart beat as fast as her breathing, and with every beat, the suffocating feeling brought by the heartache accumulated in her throat.
Ji Linshen unconsciously adjusted his sitting posture and had to loosen a button of his shirt to breathe, and his eyes moved to the curtain.
The horrifying camera illuminates his tense jawline at this moment.
Lu Shiman suddenly pinched his hot earlobe, leaned close to Ji Linshen's ear, and the sweet scent of cocoa powder brushed across his cheek.
"I'm here, don't be afraid." She held Ji Linshen's hand, and the shrill sound effects of horror movies swallowed up the trembling flaws in the ending tone.
