Chapter 56: Caring Second Brother
Lu Shiyu yelled in dissatisfaction. "Why am I unreliable? I'm handsome and efficient, so I'm the perfect person to be Qiqi's husband."
"Qiqi, am I right?"
In order to avoid Lu Lao San, Qi Xu decisively chose Lu Lao Er. "I choose the second brother. He's taller and looks more handsome. Just standing there, he can kill Song Yunzhou in an instant."
Lu Shiyu's fragile heart suffered the most severe blow in his life. "Which eye of yours saw that his icy face was more handsome than mine?"
Qi Xu quietly hid behind Lu Shixu. "I saw it with both eyes."
As soon as Lu Shiyu made a gesture to poke his eyes, Lu Shixu broke his wrist with one hand and threw him onto the sofa without mercy.
"Shut up. Be polite to Qiqi next time. Otherwise, don't blame me for my rude punches."
Seeing her fierce second brother, Lu Yiyi sincerely advised him.
"Qiqi, why don't you consider Big Brother? I think it would be more appropriate for him to use his position as the president of Lu Corporation to crush those ants."
Qi Xu shook his head. "No, no, no, I don't want to be a mistress."
Lu Shishang smiled helplessly. He knew that this little guy looked down on him, a miserable married man.
For so many years, I have been lonely and it is rare for me to meet someone interesting, but I am not qualified to compete with him.
Head of the Lu family, only those who bear this burden know how heavy it is.
Suddenly, the door opened. Sister-in-law Hua Yingying walked in with a blond man, looking very charming. On the man's clothes were three bright lipstick marks, the same color as the one on her lips.
"Hi! Hubby, and my brothers and sisters! This is my new boyfriend, Leo. Isn't he handsome?"
Lu Shishang was not angry because she brought a man back. Instead, he greeted her politely.
"Hi!"
"When did you change your taste and try foreign goods?"
Hua Yingying lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Foreign goods are more exciting and thrilling to play with. Shi Shang, you can also try finding a foreign girl."
Qi Xu's three perspectives were shattered. She kind of believed what Lu Yiyi said, that her eldest brother and sister-in-law were really playing their own games.
Cough cough! Lu Shixu coughed to remind them to be careful with their words.
Only then did Hua Yingying notice Qi Xu standing behind Lu Shixu. A faint white mist escaped from her rosy lips, and she snuffed out the cigarette with her charming fingers.
"Sorry, I didn't see any children around. Honey, you can just pretend you didn't hear those inappropriate words just now!"
Qi Xu corrected her. "My name is Qi Xu, I'm 22 years old, not a kid. I understand what you're saying."
"What?"
Hua Yingying couldn't believe her eyes. "Little boy, tell me again, how old are you? What grade are you in this year?"
"I'm 22 years old, a college graduate, and I work at the Military Medical College."
"Oh my goodness! Your reverse growth is too scary, isn't it?"
Hua Yingying seemed to have discovered a new world and ran to Qi Xu, trying to pinch him, but Lu Shixu stepped forward to block her.
"Get your smoky paws off me. Don't contaminate the children?"
Qi Xu felt that her explanation was in vain, as everyone in the Lu family treated her like a little kid.
Especially the new guy Leo, he got a lollipop from somewhere and stuffed it into her hand.
"Hello, child, You're beautiful."
Qi Xu tore open the candy wrapper, stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, and sat on the sofa without saying a word, expressing his silent protest with silence.
Hua Yingying looked at her sulking face, which resembled someone, but she couldn't remember who it was.
"Baby, are you sure you are 22 years old, not 12?"
Qi Xu didn't want to explain this boring question anymore. She pushed Lu Yiyi and stood up to say goodbye.
"Everyone. I have something to do in South City, so I'll be leaving first."
Lu Shixu also stood up. "What about me?"
In fact, Qi Xu didn't think of bringing him along. She still thought it would be more reliable to rent a male model.
"If you are really free, thank you for your hard work, brother!"
Lu Shixu led the way, and Qi Xu followed like a little baby. When they arrived at the garage, Lu Shixu pointed at a whole row of luxury cars and asked her.
"Which one do you like?"
"Ah?" Qi Xu thought he was going to give her a car and quickly waved his hand. "No, no, I can't drive."
Qi Xu has a driver's license, but she hasn't been behind the wheel since her mother's car accident. Lin Youqian also said she could choose any car in the garage, but she didn't dare to try.
"I mean, we'll drive whichever one you like."
"Anything is fine!" Qi Xu didn't have too many requirements for cars.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shixu chose a black Rolls-Royce that was the same as Lin Youqian's.
In an instant, a familiar feeling of oppression came over me.
Many times, Lin Youqian would take advantage of her under the pretext of fastening the seat belt. Even though she knew how to fasten it herself, Lin Youqian would not give her the chance.
With the same action, when Lu Shixu bent over and leaned over, Qi Xu habitually tensed his whole body and closed his eyes.
"Don't kiss me."
Lu Shixu was stunned and buckled his seatbelt stiffly. "Do you have forced hallucinations?"
Qi Xu blushed with embarrassment. Why would she think of Lin Youqian even at a time like this? Damn it.
Seeing Qi Xu's blushing face, Lu Shixu really wanted to kiss her.
He had never seen such a beautiful and delicate girl. She was like a pretty doll that came out of a New Year picture. Just looking at her made people feel happy.
"It might take seven hours to get to South City. I picked this car specifically because it has a spacious cabin. Yiyi said you worked the night shift last night, so you could lie down and get some sleep."
Yiyi's assessment of her second brother was that he was a fierce, straight man. But how could his gentle and caring tone be fierce? He was clearly a warm man.
Lu Shixu adjusted her seat to the most comfortable angle and gave her a blanket.
"Get some rest. If you're hungry, thirsty, or need to go to the bathroom, just call me."
Qi Xu closed his eyes and chuckled. What a treasure brother, so considerate. It didn't match his angular and cold appearance at all.
There was light music playing in the car and the air conditioning temperature was very comfortable, so Qi Xu fell asleep immediately.
In a daze, Lin Youqian called her and said, "I have prepared dinner tonight, come back and eat."
"No, eat it yourself. I'm on my way back to South City. I won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
Lin Youqian looked at the empty house and felt very upset. Aunt Yang said that she had not come back once since she moved into the dormitory.
It was only half a month ago, but it feels so far away, as if half a century has passed.
The quilt on the bed was still the same as it had been when I gave up halfway that day. But the person on the bed was no longer the same as before. Seeing him filled me with joy.
"Qiqi, I'm sorry I couldn't go back to South City with you. Please don't be angry, okay?"
"It's okay. It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."
Qi Xu's tone was calm, like a pool of still, stagnant water, without a single ripple. But Lin Youqian's heart was filled with longing.
"Honey, I miss you."
Qi Xu's answer was still indifferent. "Oh. I understand."
