Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

"I can see it, I can see it." The senior brother quickly pressed down on Lu Qiu's hand, which was about to pull back. "How could I not see it? I'm sure I can see it."

"Your older brother is... well, an absolutely rational and methodical person who doesn't believe in love at first sight but is also exceptionally loyal."

"Will he have a girlfriend? Will he get married?" Lu Qiu asked, seizing the opportunity.

"I guess...?" the senior brother said uncertainly.

At this moment, Lu Qiu withdrew his hand again, "Master, if you really can't see it, there's no need to force yourself. After all, it wasn't my brother who came, you..."

"Give me your other hand too." The eldest brother pulled out a notebook from the side. "Give me some time, I'll calculate it."

Lu Qiu watched as his eldest brother scribbled and drew on the paper, studying it for a while before calculating something on the paper. He kept reassuring him, "It's possible to get married, it's possible to get married. It's just that it's been kept quite secret. Don't worry, your eldest brother's marriage will go ahead."

Hearing this, Lu Qiu slowly exhaled.

Thanks, brother, for buying him time.

Lu Qiu stood with his hands outstretched, not knowing how much time had passed, when his senior brother's alarm clock rang. As he turned off the alarm, he said, "Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. It's time. I'll cook some food for my wife first."

After saying that, the senior brother hurriedly packed his things and emphasized, "It's not that I can't calculate it, but my wife is more than three months pregnant, so we really have to eat on time."

"Of course, cooking is the most important thing." Lu Qiu finally heard some news about his senior brother's wife. Seeing that his senior brother was about to go to the small kitchen in the back, he quickly got up and followed. "Big... cough, let me help you. After all, I can't just eat your meal for free. I still have to put in some effort."

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother was deeply moved and muttered to himself, "If you're not the chosen one, who is? You're such a good person."

"What?" Lu Qiu didn't hear clearly.

"I said, that's great!" the senior brother said with a smile. "If you don't mind, I'll cover dinner too. My wife wants to eat seafood tonight, and I'll go pick it up myself later. Would you like to come along, Mr. Lu?"

This kind of top-tier Ziwei star and child of destiny, if you can't see it, fine. But now that you can, which metaphysician wouldn't want to spend more time with them and study it?

"Okay, okay." Lu Qiu nodded with a smile.

Xiaxia's task for him was to follow his senior brother for a day, and he was worried about not having a reason.

And so the two of them reached an agreement.

The eldest brother brought out some peanuts and quickly peeled them. "These were just harvested from the countryside. I dried them myself. My wife just wanted some peanut milk today."

Lu Qiu glanced at it and started peeling it too. The senior brother glanced at it a few times and became angrier the more he looked.

They're from the same basket of peanuts, so why are the ones the other person peeled so plump and full? And why are the ones Mr. Lu peeled so easy to open? They open with just a light touch?

"You haven't experienced any setbacks in your life, have you?" the senior brother couldn't help but ask.

Lu Qiu paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "Yes, there have been times. I've always been scammed before."

"You got scammed?" The senior brother looked utterly incredulous. "Who could scam you?"

"She...she meant well," Lu Qiu explained. "She was doing it for my own good."

"Is it for your own good that I'm messing with you?" the senior brother repeated, with an expression that said, "Brother, being love-struck is a disease."

"That's true," Lu Qiu said dryly. "Although it's hard to understand and the process was a bit convoluted, the result was very good, um... very good."

"Why are you cooking at the restaurant?" Lu Qiu changed the subject, seemingly casually probing, "Are you having your wife come over?"

If he comes, shouldn't he think of a way to bring both of them?

"I'll deliver it over later. My house is in the next neighborhood, and the lunchboxes are readily available. It's just a few steps away," the eldest brother said with a smile. "After she got pregnant, she couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil at all, so I came up with this solution. Today, she complained that I was too clingy and forced me to come out and open the shop. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you at all."

"Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, so we're opening the shop today—a nice little reunion after a short separation?"

Lu Qiu glanced at the happy smile on his senior brother's face and smiled as well. He lowered his eyes and continued peeling things, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

The longer he spent with him, the more he understood why his senior brother had chosen to commit suicide and why he had remained unconscious after being saved by Master Xiaxia, having completely lost his will to live.

"Alright, that's enough for three people." After saying that, the eldest brother took the food to the kitchen and told Lu Qiu to have some tea.

After his senior brother left, Lu Qiu contacted Xia Wange and reported everything that had happened, including that he would be buying seafood with his senior brother that afternoon.

Xia Wange affirmed Lu Qiu's efforts and said that she was also making preparations and had already obtained the key to the house next to her senior's house, and would be staying there tonight.

Upon seeing his senior brother return with a lunchbox, Lu Qiu immediately tipped off Xia Wange, telling her to be careful and stay hidden.

In the afternoon, the eldest brother and Lu Qiu went to pick up seafood together. When the eldest brother went back to drive, he very familiarly asked Lu Qiu to help him close the shop.

There was a bus stop right outside the shop. Lu Qiu locked the door and stood by the roadside to wait.

At that moment, a woman carrying a child and looking haggard walked onto the platform, carrying a hospital bag in her hand.

The bus stop was crowded, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the bus. They just glanced at the woman indifferently and then went back to doing their own thing.

The woman simply kept her head down, her body trembling slightly.

Suddenly, she looked up, her voice choked with sobs, and asked the person beside her, "Could you give my child some food? She just finished her medical check-up and hasn't had a chance to eat yet... Waaah! My child hasn't eaten all morning... I have to go to the train station to pick up my family; that's when I'll have the money, and the journey will take several hours..."

The woman broke down in tears, holding her child, her voice choked with sobs: "Just a little bit, just enough for the child to have a little bit of... I don't even have enough money for the bus fare... Waaah..."

Lu Qiu, who was standing not far away, immediately reached into his pocket, only to realize that he hadn't brought his wallet at all, in order to have an excuse to stick to his senior brother. He turned his head and saw his senior brother's car, so he immediately ran over and asked, "How much money do you have on you?"

The senior apprentice was taken aback and quickly took out his wallet. Lu Qiu took out all the thousand yuan in his hand and said, "Borrow it from me, I'll pay you back soon."

Lu Qiu turned around with the money in his hand, slightly taken aback.
