Chapter 48 Normal Brother

After saying that, the man turned around and looked at her. His red pupils were like a sea of ​​blood, deep and bottomless.

He didn't answer, just walked away slowly.

After making sure that Saloy had really left, Lu Zhizhi finally relaxed and walked to the tree with weak legs to sit down. The tears on her face were dried by the wind. She had no strength in her body and didn't want to walk anymore. She just hoped that Lu Yuan could find her.

Lu Zhizhi couldn't help but hug her knees and curl up her body. Only then did she realize that she had been tightly holding a cross in her palm since a while ago. She must have been too scared to tear it off from Saloi.

The cross was very small, with a human figure vaguely carved on it, looking like someone was tied to a cross.

"unlucky!"

She used up her last bit of strength to throw the cross far away, and it fell into the mud not far away.

Lu Zhizhi fell asleep leaning against a tree trunk without realizing it. While she was still conscious, she felt a warm arm hugging her tightly. She could hear sounds coming and going around her, but she couldn't hear them clearly and didn't want to listen.

Until she woke up, she found herself back in her room.

"elder brother?"

Lu Yuan leaned on the sofa, still wearing yesterday's clothes. He wore a suit vest, his shirt sleeves were rolled up, and his collar was open with two buttons. His hair hung down in two strands, which was a little different from his usual meticulousness.

Hearing her voice, the man opened his eyes and regained clarity after a brief moment of drowsiness.

"Did you sleep here last night?"

Lu Yuan nodded when he heard that, and the first thing he did when he came over was to touch her forehead.

"You had a low-grade fever last night."

Lu Zhizhi blinked twice and touched her forehead.

“It doesn’t seem to be hot anymore.”

"Well, observe for a few more days. Don't go out recently and have a good rest at home."

Noticing that his voice was a little hoarse, Lu Zhizhi looked up at him and saw that there was some fatigue between his brows and some light bruises at the corners of his mouth?
"Brother, what's wrong with your face?"

Lu Yuan stood beside the bed and looked at her. Lu Zhizhi's alarm bells immediately went off. She covered her butt and moved back, looking at his face.

"You said you wanted to break up your engagement with Hefel, are you serious?"

Lu Zhizhi didn't expect him to ask this. She thought he was going to blame her for exposing her mental power, so she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and asked, "Is it okay?"

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and asked, "Why?"

He seemed to consider it for a few seconds, then added: "Didn't you like him before?"

Lu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you like it? I don't remember. But I know I don't like it now, and most importantly, I don't want to marry anyone."

After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Yuan suddenly look up at her, with a bright light flashing in his eyes, but the emotions in his eyes were too many and too complicated for her to understand.

"Okay. Don't get married. I can support you for the rest of your life."

Lu Zhizhi smiled, "Not getting married is just my choice. Brother can get married. In fact, I have wanted to say this for a long time. Brother, you can't tie me to your belt for the rest of your life. You also have your own life."

After hearing her words, Lu Yuan took a restrained, intermittent deep breath, lowered his shoulders, and lowered his head to hide his expression.

"My parents asked me to take care of you. This is the most important thing in my life."

Lu Zhizhi suddenly felt a little sad while hugging the quilt, not for herself, but for Lu Yuan.

She climbed out of bed and stood in front of him, only a head taller than him when she stood on the edge of the bed.

Lu Zhizhi opened her arms and hugged his head, patted his back, and said softly: "Brother, you can have your own life and do what you really want to do. I am willing to be second to you for the time being. You and I should both be first. "

Lu Yuan's eyelids trembled, and he closed his eyes in her arms. His hand, which had been hanging down, slowly raised up, stayed in the air for a long time, and finally gently wrapped around her waist.

He restrained his emotions and asked, "Why am I the second temporarily?" "Because I will have a sister-in-law in the future, I have to give way." Lu Zhizhi put her hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I won't compete with my sister-in-law for favor. Don't worry, I'm very sensible."

After a long while, she saw Lu Yuan seemed to smile, but that smile sounded like crying.

“Okay.” Lu Yuan’s voice was so hoarse that it sounded like it had been rubbed by sandpaper. He said in a bitter tone, “You be a sensible sister, and I will be a normal brother.”

After saying that, he pulled Lu Zhizhi's arm away from her, walked to the sofa alone, picked up his coat, and put it on his arm as elegantly as usual.

Lu Zhizhi stood beside the bed in a daze. Before she saw him open the door and walk out, she held the door handle and said, "Sleep a little longer. I'll make your favorite drunken shrimps tonight." Then she walked out and closed the door.

Everything looks normal.

Lu Zhizhi tilted her head towards the closed door and felt that something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Outside, separated by a door, the man who had stood tall the previous second was now leaning weakly against the door.

He was holding his coat in one hand and dragging it on the ground, with the back of his other hand covering his eyes.

Lu Yuan counted to 20 silently in his mind.

He only gave himself time for 20 counts.

After counting 20, he stood up with his hands on the door frame and walked step by step to the end of the long and deep corridor.

After the talent test, Lu Zhizhi received three letters in one day.

One letter came from the Senate, first congratulating her on awakening her spiritual power. At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the Senate invited her to live in the Senate and become a saint.

Lu Zhizhi asked Ms. Ke Wen what a saint does, but the answer she got was that she doesn't have to do anything.

"If you really become a saint, you will be the spiritual belief of everyone on the main planet. The Senate will build a church for you. If you want, you can go there occasionally to receive people's worship. If you don't want to, it's okay, because your existence itself is a kind of happiness for people."

After listening to this, Lu Zhizhi threw the letter into the trash can.

She would be extremely wary of any attempt to stick her alive into a clay statue and hold her up high.

When perfection is expected of you, that's when all misery begins.

So she went on to read the second letter, which was from the military.

There was only an ultra-thin transparent electronic business card in the envelope with Lu Zhizhi's name on it and her military rank below.

Oh my god, she became a major!
Lu Zhizhi ran to Lu Yuan's desk holding a business card and asked him what was going on. Lu Yuan explained that the military gave her a medal in order to win her over to be their exclusive guide. To put it bluntly, it was just a title that looked good and intimidating, but she had no real power and no soldiers under her command.

"Tsk, are you painting cakes for me?"

When she came back, she threw the business card into the box where the housekeeper soaked his dentures.

Next came the third letter, which was from the Interstellar Central Command. First of all, the appearance was completely different from the other two. The envelope from the Senate was inlaid with gold-rimmed wax, while the envelope from the military was so sharp that it almost cut her finger, full of a cold sense of technology.

The envelope of this command center is a large white board with only the blue logo of the Interstellar Central Command printed on the upper right corner, revealing a minimalist style that shows poverty.

When Lu Zhizhi tore open the envelope, the smell of ink hit her face. It was a handwritten letter, which first introduced her to the current situation of the command center, then described in detail the treatment that could be provided to her, and finally stated that it hoped that she would join the White Tower and become a guide.

She looked at the signature on the lower right corner: Qiasi, the smiling tiger she had seen on the Blue Water Planet.

The style of this letter was pragmatic, straightforward and no-nonsense, which was somewhat different from the impression she had of the Chasi.

The letter said that if I accepted the invitation, I would be welcome to report to his office at 10 a.m. three days later.

Ms. Cowen asked from the side: "Miss, which invitation do you plan to accept?"

Lu Zhizhi lay on the bed, covering her face with the letter, and said nothing.

Under the letter, a clever and cunning smile appeared on the delicate little face.
