Let me explain, it's not what you think.

On the way back, Zhuang Jingbai remained silent, even absent-minded.

"My wife, what's wrong?"

Zhuang Jingbai shook her head and didn't say anything.

The faint, pleasant aroma from the kitchen and the tightly closed door kept replaying in her mind.

There is a woman in Lu Chen Cave.

Moreover, they stayed for more than one day!

Back in her cave, Zhuang Jingbai didn't know how she felt.

Although she made a mistake in a moment of confusion, she has now come to her senses.

But why did I feel so distressed and lost when I learned that a woman lived in Lu Chen's cave?

Lin Tian and Lu Chen are good brothers. In a sense, he will never have the chance to be with Lu Chen. So, isn't it perfectly normal for Lu Chen to find a girl to get married?

Why don't I want to see him get married?

Could it be because he lifted her wedding veil, they drank the nuptial wine together, and she even gave him her most precious possession?

So in a sense, Zhuang Jingbai didn't marry Lin Tian, ​​but rather...!

And... ever since she made that mistake, there's no way she and he can ever be together again!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Jingbai couldn't help but take out the items they had shared back then from her storage bag...

Inside the sunken cave.

He was currently refining the treasure that Lin Tian had given him, a valuable item that could yield a second attribute!

The protagonist Lin Tian in the original story began his legendary life because of the second term (Blazing Sun Holy Body)!

So what will be my second entry?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen took a deep breath, placed the jade pendant on his forehead, and slowly closed his eyes.

The spiritual energy surged, and the jade tablet transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into his sea of ​​consciousness.

boom!!

A roar echoed deep within his mind, as if something was being torn apart, or as if something was growing. Lu Chen felt every inch of his flesh and blood tremble, every cell cheering.

This feeling... is even more wonderful than breaking through a realm.

After an unknown amount of time, the tremors gradually subsided.

Lu Chen opened his eyes, a hint of anticipation flashing in them.

He closed his eyes and looked inward into his sea of ​​consciousness.

There, next to the previously solitary floating entry for "One Hit Kill," a new point of light appeared.

Lu Chen held his breath and probed with his divine sense.

The light scattered and transformed into several ancient characters.

【sing a different tune】

Lu Chen was stunned.

sing a different tune?

What kind of term is this?

He looked at it several times to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

It truly is the phrase "singing a different tune".

And then... and then that was it.

There were no function descriptions, no effect descriptions, and no hints whatsoever. Just those three lonely words, like a prank.

"What... what does this mean? A characteristic in Pokémon?" Lu Chen scratched his head.

He tried to access the entry with his divine sense, but there was no response. He tried to activate it with his spiritual power, but there was still no response. After studying it for a long time, there was still no reaction.

"..."

In the original work, Lin Tian's [Blazing Sun Holy Body] clearly states that it has effects such as "tenfold increase in physical strength, tenfold increase in blood and qi recovery speed, and the presence of holy body pressure".

What the heck is this "contrarian" thing I'm talking about?

What's the point of contradicting someone? Who are you contradicting? What's the effect of doing it?

I have absolutely no idea.

"Could it be a useless entry?" Lu Chen frowned.

The entry is highly bound to the person, and he is not a genius like Lin Tian, ​​so it is normal that the entry he awakens is not overpowered.

"Perhaps... it requires specific conditions to trigger?" Lu Chen thought for a long time and could only come to this conclusion.

Little did they know, from that moment on, the game was already over.

(History has undergone a tremendous change)

Lu Chen couldn't understand it, so he sighed and opened his eyes.

Oh well, I don't really understand it anyway, so I'll just leave it for now. Something is better than nothing.

He got up and walked out of the bedroom, only to find Jiang Huaiyu standing in the living room, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Senior sister? What's wrong?"

Jiang Huaiyu hesitated for a moment: "I went to the kitchen. Just now...did Zhuang Jingbai discover something?"

Lu Chen remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"She must have smelled your scent."

Jiang Huaiyu's expression changed slightly, then she smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, it was my carelessness."

"It's not your fault, she's always been perceptive."

Jiang Huaiyu looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"Lu Chen, if... if she really finds out, will you kick me out?"

Lu Chen was taken aback, meeting her uneasy eyes, which held trepidation, anticipation, and a hint of inexplicable dependence.

In an instant, Lu Chen felt that the genius late-stage Golden Core senior sister in front of him had become somewhat fragile, and he wanted to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

"Won't."

Jiang Huaiyu's eyes lit up.

"But senior sister, you need to think this through. What if word gets out? How will we explain this...?"

"Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you," Jiang Huaiyu interrupted him, her voice firm.

"Instead of caring about what others think, why not... why not live your own life well?" She looked at Lu Chen, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"For the past three years, I have been afraid that this secret will be exposed every day, so I have been living in constant fear. The few days I spent with you after the divorce were the most peaceful days I have had in all these years."

Lu Chen looked at her, unsure of what to say.

He wasn't stupid; he could sense a strange atmosphere between the two of them, unlike that between a senior sister and junior brother, but rather more like his own...

"What I mean is, this can't go on like this... it's not sustainable."

Jiang Huaiyu was taken aback.

"I know you have nowhere to go right now, and I know you're suffering. But it's not good for either of us to be alone together in a room for an extended period of time."

Jiang Huaiyu didn't speak, she just looked at him.

"So, senior sister, after all, you are..."

"After all what?"

"After all, it's still his..."

Jiang Huaiyu remained silent.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said what he most wanted to say:

"If it really doesn't work out, I can raise Ling'er. You don't need to worry about her being left unattended or suffering any mistreatment. I will fulfill my responsibilities as a father."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaiyu was clearly stunned.

She looked at Lu Chen, her gaze becoming complicated.

She knew she hadn't misjudged him. Lu Chen was much more responsible than Wang Feng. He was the one who suggested the extramarital affair, and then she became the victim. He turned around and divorced her.

Even so, Lu Chen still hoped that he could reconcile with that man and then fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

But he only mentioned his daughter.

The implication was clear: he could take responsibility for his daughter, but not for her, which made her very sad.

It was only then that she realized that, without her noticing, she had almost become Lu Chen's other half.

Cooking, cleaning, waiting for him to come out of quarantine, preparing food and drinks for him...aren't these all things...?

When did she start doing this?

And why is it so natural?

A surge of shame and indignation welled up inside me.
