Chapter 359 Green Season Online
"Oh." Lu Chixu responded lightly.
The carriage fell into an eerie silence.
Ji Linshen tried to find some topics that would interest Lu Chixu to break the silence, but unfortunately, his knowledge of racing was limited and he couldn't bring up any topics that interested him.
Let’s talk about something else, but I’m afraid Lu Chixu will feel annoyed.
After thinking for a moment, he simply stopped talking.
Lu Chixu also tried to break the silence, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. The two of them had no intersection before Lu Shiman, and they had no common topics at all.
Common topic?
Lu Chixu suddenly thought, wasn't it because of Lu Shiman that they could sit in the same car like today?
Their common topic is their younger sister who has no brains or, even if she has any, her mind is full of male lust.
"Ji Linshen, you and Lu Shiman..." Lu Chixu got stuck as soon as he opened his mouth, and rubbed the armrest of the seat with his thumb repeatedly.
Ji Linshen caught the moment of his hesitation and was delighted, knowing that he was one step closer to marrying into the Lu family.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly. "Second brother, that's right. I plan to get the marriage certificate with Manman first. Now I just need the brothers' consent."
Lu Chixu frowned slightly. Who asked him?
"Second brother, don't call me by my name in the future." Ji Linshen suddenly tilted his head, and the shadow of the neon light passed across his trembling eyelashes.
His heartbeat was a little faster, and a thin layer of red crept up behind his ears silently: "Just call me brother-in-law."
The air froze for two seconds, and Lu Chixu suddenly turned around and glared at him: "I didn't admit it, don't try to scam me." A suspicious light red spread across the tip of his ear.
"You called tonight."
"No, you heard it wrong." Lu Chixu denied it.
"Brother, everyone heard it. It's not good for you to deny it, right?" Ji Lin sank his back into the leather seat, his right hand resting lightly on the door handle.
In the reflection of the car window, the corners of his mouth turned down: "I am... born in the mud, I really don't deserve..."
The neon lights passed by, Ji Linshen lowered his eyelashes, the emotions in his eyes were hidden, and his whole body exuded an air of loneliness.
Lu Chixu's Adam's apple slid heavily, he wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it.
"Who would want a man whose hands are stained with the blood of his loved ones as his brother-in-law." Ji Linshen lowered his head and stared at his palm, his eyelashes casting trembling shadows under his eyes.
"How could someone like me, whose childhood was filled with darkness, where I was abused, buried alive, and lived and ate with dogs, be accepted? I don't deserve it..." The last line of his voice suddenly choked, and a broken breath escaped from his throat.
Lu Chixu's heart ached when he heard this. He was standing at the door of the banquet hall with his eldest brother and heard some fragments of his conversation. He could probably guess how miserable his childhood was, but he didn't expect it to be this miserable?
"I didn't...that's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to say anything bad about you." Lu Chixu wanted to slap himself in the face.
Ji Lin lowered his head, and a self-deprecating laugh escaped his nose: "It's okay, second brother. People like me really don't deserve to have a family and happiness. I have overstepped my bounds."
Lu Chixu twisted his thigh hard with the hand at his side, cursing himself inwardly as a beast.
"Um, Ji Linshen..." Lu Chixu slapped himself on the mouth and immediately changed his words: "Brother-in-law, second brother didn't mean that, second brother... second brother was joking with you."
"When you were a kid..."
"It wasn't anything special. That New Year's Eve, they put me in a bucket of ice water..." His Adam's apple stopped mid-roll. "I said this bastard should be frozen in a bucket like an ice sculpture."
"I was buried alive, electrocuted, and..." Ji Linshen tugged at his tie, as if lost in memories.
"And being forced to watch my mother in a room full of screens..." He suddenly stopped talking and curled his fingers: "Sorry, I can't say that." His nails scratched white marks on the leather seat.
In addition to watching the video of his mother being humiliated to death, Ji Linshen told everything he had experienced, including how he was almost molested by Ji Liangxing.
He couldn't tell Lu Shiman. He used to be afraid that she would be scared and disgusted, but now he was afraid of seeing her distressed look.
He chose to speak it out because he wanted them to know everything about himself.
Lu Yannan once said that no matter what his past was, it didn’t matter, but he felt it was very important.
He knew what rumors were circulating about him in the outside world. If he didn't completely dispel his brothers' concerns, his path to power would be a long and arduous one.
Today just happened to be such an opportunity for him to lay out his bloody past in front of Lu Chixu.
"Brother, I know, I am like this..."
Lu Chixu suddenly kicked the back of the front seat, causing the driver to scramble to steady the steering wheel. "I'll take Manman to get the marriage certificate tomorrow." He pounded his fist on the center armrest. "I'll be your wedding photo!"
Ji Linshen touched the red corners of his eyes with his fingertips: "Second brother..." The whisper dissipated in the vibration of the tires rolling over the speed bumps, and his drooping left hand made a 'V' in the shadows.
Lu Chixu looked at him and saw that his eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. His heart skipped a beat and he turned his head away in a hurry. His nose felt sore as well.
He can't bear to see people he cares about cry, because he would want to cry too.
When he was a child, he accompanied his sister to get vaccinated. Before his sister even started crying, he started crying loudly.
Later, when he grew up, he held back his tears when he wanted to, and at most he would cry in front of his eldest brother. Anyway, his eldest brother would not laugh at him, but would only feel distressed.
Lu Chixu looked at the neon lights receding outside the car window and suppressed the urge to cry.
Ji Linshen leaned his arms on the car window frame, covered his mouth with his hands, and smiled.
If he had known it was so simple, he would have opened the wound and shared it with his brothers earlier, and he wouldn't have to take so many detours.
The car slowly drove into the Lu family villa.
Lu Shiman had a sound sleep on the road and now he has regained his energy.
Lu Qiyun was left alone at home, feeling a little worried, so he simply sat at the entrance and waited for them to come back.
Lu Shiman jumped out of the car: "I don't know if Fourth Brother is asleep or not. I want to tell him about the exciting content of tonight."
"Slow down, don't fall." Lu Yannan closed the car door with his backhand and reminded carefully.
Seeing her happy, Lu Jianheng rushed over and hooked his arm around her neck: "Third brother took you to see a good show tonight, how do you want to thank third brother?"
Lu Shiman was hooked by him without any warning, and she staggered and almost fell.
"Lu Jianheng!"
"I was wrong, big brother." Lu Jianheng turned around and laughed dryly, holding his sister's hand and walking into the villa: "Tell me quickly, how do you thank third brother?"
Lu Shiman thought for a moment and asked, "Shall I kowtow to you?"
Lu Jianheng let go of her, looking disgusted: "Save the kowtow until the day I die."
"You can do it in advance. What if I'm already paralyzed on the day you die?"
"Just curse yourself."
"Third brother might live longer than me."
"No, those without brains will live longer than those with brains."
"Third brother, you are scolding me in new ways again!"
The two of them walked into the villa while joking, and Lu Yannan followed behind with a smile.
