Chapter 470: Big brother hits people, and it hurts.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Lu Chixu didn't tap lightly and restrainedly like Ji Linshen, but rather slapped him rapidly and fiercely.
Like the beating of a drum in the silent night.
Ji Linshen stood behind Lu Chixu and did not take any action.
He just hoped that when his elder brother started scolding people later, he would let him go.
He didn't knock, hoping he wouldn't be scolded.
Seeing no movement, Lu Chixu pushed the door open anxiously.
The room was pitch black.
Lu Chixu rushed in, stepped into the bedroom, and groped his way to the head of the bed based on his memory.
Ji Linshen couldn't see and pulled at the corner of Lu Chixu's clothes.
The two of them stood at the head of Lu Yannan's bed, and neither of them dared to turn on the light.
"Ji Linshen, go turn on the light." Lu Chixu instructed Ji Linshen.
Ji Linshen stood in the darkness without saying a word.
"Tsk, I told you to turn on the light." Lu Chixu raised his leg and gently kicked Ji Linshen's butt.
Ji Linshen still didn't move. He was not a fool. Whoever turned on the light would suffer.
"Brother, I can't see and can't find the light switch." Ji Linshen also lowered his voice.
"I'll illuminate the sky for you, you go turn on the light." Lu Chixu also knew that whoever turned on the light would suffer.
"Second brother, are you afraid that the eldest brother will scold us?" Ji Linshen said lightly and directly exposed him.
"Fart, when have I ever been afraid?"
“Oh, then I’m afraid, second brother, I’m just a brother-in-law, you’re my brother, it’s appropriate for you to turn on the light.”
Lu Chixu rolled his eyes, but in the pitch-black environment, it was just a lonely roll.
He walked to the head of the bed and turned on the glaring bedside lamp with a click.
A strong light suddenly came on.
On the bed, Lu Yannan suddenly opened his eyes almost the moment the light came on.
The gentle eyes were a little hazy the moment they opened.
His eyes locked onto the two figures at the head of the bed, and the haziness disappeared, replaced by the anger and displeasure of being forcibly awakened.
"Lu Chixu, Ji Linshen!" His voice was cold, and the names he called out were filled with an oppressive low pressure.
He pulled himself up and glanced at the time.
2:54 am.
These two psychopaths.
"Are you two sick?" Lu Yannan was furious and wished he could throw the two of them downstairs in the next second.
Before he finished speaking, Ji Linshen reacted extremely quickly. Before Lu Chixu could even open his mouth to identify him, his body had already made the most instinctive survival reaction.
He took a step back very naturally and quickly, silently, as smoothly as if he had practiced it a thousand times.
This step instantly turned the situation where the two brothers, who were originally standing shoulder to shoulder and sharing weal and woe, into one where Lu Chixu had to face his elder brother's angry gaze alone.
Lu Chixu: ???
He turned his head to look at Ji Linshen, full of shock.
His eyes were silent, but filled with strong condemnation of 'You fucking betrayed me'.
Ji Linshen felt the gaze that was almost spitting fire, but at an angle where Lu Yannan couldn't see it, he pulled the corners of his mouth towards Lu Chixu in an extremely innocent and calm manner, and even spread out his hands slightly.
The meaning is self-evident: you are my biological brother, and I am just my brother-in-law, so naturally my younger brother has priority.
He didn't say anything, but his self-righteous attitude of "I would rather die than let my friend die" was evident.
Lu Yannan's cold eyes naturally noticed Ji Linshen's little movements, but his anger at the moment was focused on the two of them.
Looking at Lu Chixu's confused expression, for some reason, he became even angrier.
He threw back the quilt, stepped out of bed with his long legs, his posture straight and his aura compelling.
While Lu Chixu was still trying to condemn Ji Linshen with his eyes, he had already walked up to the two of them.
No nonsense.
Lu Yannan raised his hand and slapped Lu Chixu and Ji Linshen hard on the head.
Two crisp sounds of "Snap! Snap" were particularly clear in the silence.
Lu Chixu shrank his neck when he was hit, grimacing in pain, and didn't even bother to glare at Ji Linshen.
Ji Linshen seemed not to move, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
When big brother hits people, it hurts quite a bit.
"Go outside and talk." Lu Yannan said in a suppressed voice, obviously very angry.
He took the lead and strode towards the living room connected to the bedroom.
The two culprits followed obediently behind.
Lu Chixu touched the top of his head that was hit, his eyes still trying to stab Ji Linshen.
Ji Linshen lowered his eyelashes slightly, and his expression returned to his usual calmness.
The light in the living room is much softer than the bedside lamp, but the atmosphere is still depressing.
Lu Yannan sat down heavily on the single sofa, his elbows supporting his knees, his slender fingers pressing his throbbing solar plexus impatiently.
He glanced coldly at the two tall men standing in front of him and said, "Speak."
A single word, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.
"You're trying to pry open my door in the middle of the night. You better have a reason to make the sky fall."
Lu Chixu immediately found a breakthrough. The grievance of being beaten just now and the news from Lu Shiman mixed together, making him emotional, and his speech was fast and confusing.
"Brother, it's Manman. Something happened to her. Something really happened to her. Ji Linshen said... She said she's fine. She actually has a problem, a very big problem. She..."
Lu Chixu was so anxious that he scratched his head, but because he was too emotional, his words were not expressive enough and he couldn't get to the point at all.
Ji Linshen looked at his incoherent appearance and sighed almost imperceptibly.
He took a step forward, his voice low and clear, interrupting Lu Chixu's unfocused anxiety: "Brother, what Second Brother wants to say is..."
Ji Linshen's eyes met Lu Yannan's without any hesitation: "Just now, Manman said something to me."
"She seemed to have a deep-seated belief that her worth lay solely in making other people happy, and she prioritized everyone else's feelings over her own."
"She calmly accepts and even acknowledges that 'nothing matters'. All her actions are like a complete self-dissolution."
Ji Linshen's words were more precise and concise than when he spoke to Lu Chixu just now, and also more harsh.
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before asking the question that had suppressed him all night and was the core purpose of waking up Lu Yannan.
"We all know that you four brothers gave her unconditional love. She grew up in an abundance of love."
"Why...why did Manman's inner world develop such a twisted, self-destructive tendency and self-sacrificing cognition?"
"Big brother, second brother." Ji Linshen's eyes swept across the faces of the two brothers of the Lu family, full of confusion: "In those corners that we may not know, what happened when we were young?"
The question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lu Yannan's heart hard.
The living room fell into silence for a moment.
Lu Yannan stopped pressing the Taiyang acupoint.
He leaned against the sofa, his eyes suddenly becoming deep and complicated, as if he had sunk into a dark abyss.
Lu Chixu seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, and subconsciously blurted out a retort: "No matter what...it's not even one tenth of what you experienced back then..."
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
Because he saw Ji Linshen's eyes dimmed in an instant and his lips were tightly pursed.
