Chapter 364 Love Revealed
After a tiring day, Qi Xu fell asleep quickly, while Lu Shixu tossed and turned in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep.
The woman's shallow breathing reached his eardrums through the silent night, making him feel itchy all over.
Finally, desire overcame his rationality. He reached out and pulled Qi Xu's accompanying bed closer, little by little.
Finally, it was spliced together with his hospital bed to form one.
The face so close to him was breathtakingly beautiful. He raised his hand and secretly touched her hair, her arms, and her skin.
Then slowly, Weiwei took her into his arms.
His movements were very gentle, for fear of waking her up, but he couldn't help but want to hold her tight.
This battle between reason and desire almost drives people crazy.
Perhaps feeling that the air was a bit oppressive, Qi Xu frowned slightly and moved his body in resistance, as if a little impatient.
Her plump and rosy lips moved slightly.
Looking at that touching temptation, Lu Shixu couldn't help but kissed it gently.
Suddenly, Qi Xu woke up from his sleep as if he had been electrocuted, and pushed Lu Shixu away.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Shixu was a little flustered, but quickly regained his composure and explained with a smile.
"You kicked off the quilt, let me cover you up."
What kind of nonsense is this? Qi Xu no longer believes it. Because at this moment, his eyes are full of naked lust, which makes people feel uneasy.
At this moment, she completely understood that her second brother's love for her was not only the love that a brother has for his sister, but also mixed with the feelings that a man has for a woman.
It's just that before, he hid it very well and never revealed it.
Qi Xu touched his lips and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Brother, did you just kiss me?"
Lu Shixu did not answer the question directly, but raised his hand and wanted to touch her face.
"Before, Yiyi always said that your little face was soft and tender, like a little doll, and it was fun to pinch it. Second brother also wanted to try it."
"Brother, I'm twenty-three years old. I'm not a child. You can't touch me."
Qi Xu jumped off the bed in panic and hid from him as if he was escaping from a flood or a beast.
"Brother, it's late. I should go home!"
Lu Shixu's empty hands slowly dropped, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Yeah, it's late. I'll have someone pick you up."
"No need, I can go back by myself!"
Qi Xu hurriedly put on her shoes and prepared to leave, but Lu Shixu stopped her.
"No. You can't go back alone. It's not safe. Wait until your bodyguard arrives."
During the ten minutes or so of waiting for Ah Xing and Ah Le to arrive, Qi Xu leaned against the door without saying a word.
Lu Shixu didn't explain either.
But both of them understood.
Finally, it was Lu Shixu who broke the silence and asked her.
"Qiqi, will you come to see my second brother tomorrow?"
Qi Xu thought for a long time, not knowing how to answer. Finally, he said it with a hard heart.
"Youqian told me to stay in the army as much as possible while he's away. It's not safe outside."
"So, second brother can take care of himself, right?"
Lu Shixu's heart felt like a piece was being cut out, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
I'm afraid he and Qiqi can't even be brother and sister.
Why was God so cruel to him, not even giving him the last bit of kindness?
"Qiqi, if Lin Youqian wasn't around, would you still like me?"
Since the superficial relationship was broken, Lu Shixu simply opened his heart and confessed his feelings to her, not asking for any results, but just wanting a hypothetical answer.
Qi Xu pretended to be a child who didn't understand and laughed out loud.
"Brother, are you suffering from a fever due to an infected wound? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm your sister, not your white moonlight, that so-called fourth daughter of the Hua family. Tell me whether you like me or not, are you crazy?"
"If you want to ask, ask your fiancée. I only love my husband, Lin Youqian!"
The fire that was stuck in Lu Shixu's heart almost burst out.
He really wanted to tell her, you are my white moonlight, my fiancée, the fourth lady of the Hua family who has haunted my dreams for more than twenty years.
But he didn't dare to say it, and couldn't say it.
He could only let the fire burn wantonly in his chest, causing pain in his internal organs.
"Yes, I had a fever. I dreamed that you were my fiancée."
"But when I woke up I realized you weren't. You're just my stupid sister!"
The two people pretended to use hypocritical words to whitewash the broken brother-sister relationship.
Both of them knew it in their hearts, but they pretended to be ignorant.
"Go to the Yue Lao Temple someday and pray for it to return your fiancée to you soon. Then I'll have another sister-in-law!"
Lu Shixu laughed sadly.
"The matchmaker isn't very reliable, so I'd better ask Cupid for help. Ask him to shoot me an arrow so my heart dies faster!"
The footsteps of Ale and Axing were heard in the stairwell. Qi Xu put away his awkward joke and turned around without hesitation.
"Second brother, have a good rest, I'm going back!"
Lu Shixu jumped off the bed on one foot, wanting to salvage something, but his words were pale and powerless.
"Qiqi, will you come to see me tomorrow?"
If it were usual, Qi Xu would definitely come every day. But now, the relationship between the two is really awkward.
Qi Xu scratched his head for a long time and finally found a suitable excuse to shirk responsibility.
"Tomorrow, my best friend from college, Tang Qin, said she's coming to hang out with me. So, I might not be free!"
Seeing Lu Shixu's gloomy face, Qi Xu added another explanation.
"She's going back to Country Y the day after tomorrow, so the timing is perfect. Also, I've prepared a lot of gifts and food for her to take to Yiyi. So, I'm really busy tomorrow."
"Brother, don't think too much. I'll come see you another day!"
Lu Shixu's heart sank to the bottom of the sea, like a desolate ruin, completely devoid of life.
He lowered his head and made a weak sound, as if begging her.
"You must come to see me tomorrow. No matter how late it is, I will wait for you."
Qi Xu was a very rational person. She made a clear distinction between family affection and love. Since she was already married, she wouldn't get emotionally involved with anyone, even if that person was her second brother.
Instead of letting my second brother hold on to unrealistic fantasies, it is better to end his obsessive thoughts as soon as possible.
So, I pretended to be joking and refused decisively.
"Brother, you're a soldier, why are you acting like a woman, so delicate? You really need someone to accompany you for such a minor injury?"
"I'm busy tomorrow, so take good care of yourself."
Qi Xu left very decisively, without any hesitation.
Lu Shixu clenched his fists and slammed them hard against the wall, venting the painful and suppressed emotions that he could not express.
He didn't regret kissing her.
This feeling was destined to be bitter fruit from the very beginning. Even if it was hidden deep in my heart for ten thousand years, it would only bring endless sorrow.
Now, tearing open my heart and letting that strong love be exposed in front of her is actually a relief.
"Qiqi, are you really not going to acknowledge me as your brother?"
"Do you know how much I love you?"
Lu Shixu lay down on the bed where Qi Xu had slept. Her body temperature and faint fragrance still lingered in the quilt.
He covered his face, closed his eyes, and deeply absorbed the remaining breath of his beloved.
"Jiaojiao, you are so heartless!"
Lifting the quilt, the sharp-eyed Lu Shixu found two strands of Qi Xu's fallen hair from inside. He held them in his palms as if they were treasures, grinning like a fool.
Then, he carefully wrapped the two thin threads around his crew cut.
"Marry me. Jiaojiao, in the next life, can I marry you instead?"
Lu Shixu limped to the window and made a pious wish to the bright moon in the night sky.
"Matchmaker, matchmaker. Please grant me a good marriage in my next life, and let me marry my beloved Jiaojiao. I don't want more, just one life is enough. I hope you can grant my wish!"
