Ye Wenxi said a lot of things to give his older brother a heads-up.

This will prepare him mentally for the possibility that he might display unusual insight and ability.

Lu Weidong listened, still harboring doubts.

When we rescued her from human traffickers yesterday, she was trembling with fear and could barely speak.

She was completely different from the organized and articulate girl in front of him.

After Ye Wenxi finished speaking, she felt a little annoyed. Although it seemed logically consistent, it couldn't withstand close scrutiny.

I feel like there are loopholes no matter how I make it up, and it seems a bit unreasonable to others.

This is certainly unreasonable.

She is a graduate student from a top modern university and went on to work for a major company right after graduation.

I studied foreign languages ​​and design, and I work in project management.

My way of thinking, my speech and knowledge have long been reshaped by that highly competitive and fast-paced environment.

Unless she pretends to be stupid and does nothing or says anything.

But as soon as you do or say too much, you'll keep revealing your secrets.

It's just that the gap in abilities and experience between myself and the original owner is too great.

To avoid being noticed, she had to pretend, but she could only pretend for a few days.

But to keep pretending forever? That's impossible!

She simply doesn't have the personality to suppress her feelings and play someone else for long.

At that moment, she cursed herself inwardly: I should have read a fantasy cultivation novel that night.

Making up lies and covering them up exhausted her.

She took a deep breath, deciding not to dwell on it anymore.

At worst, we'll just find an opportunity to confront him; whether he believes it or not is up to him.

Anyway, I'll break up with him sooner or later.

The two of them came out of the train station and boarded a bus.

The two attracted the attention of many passengers on the bus, with some even whispering among themselves.

"He's so handsome! He must be at least 1.9 meters tall."

"Do you think that woman could be his girlfriend?"

"No way, although she's alright looking, look at how slovenly she is, like she came out of a pigsty."

Ye Wenxi's lips twitched upon hearing the sound, and he turned around, intending to unleash his full power.

As soon as I turned to the side, I felt a large hand wrap around my shoulder.

The arm was strong and powerful, with a broad palm, which pulled her closer to him.

Ye Wenxi, at 1.7 meters tall, is not short, but at this moment, she was held in his arms like a little chick being protected.

"Oh my god...it really is his girlfriend."

"Tsk tsk, what a waste. He's a military officer, how did he end up with such a partner?"

"How can someone so young be blind?"

This time, Lu Weidong's lips twitched...

Ye Wenxi suppressed a laugh and turned to look at Lu Weidong.

From this angle, it's hard not to notice his muscular physique.

The two stood side by side, his full and firm pectoral muscles almost level with her chest.

Moving your gaze further upwards, you see a sharply defined jawline and tightly pursed lips.

And those excessively long eyelashes, each one clearly visible in the light streaming through the car window.

However, the skin tone of that face had changed from its usual wheat color to a reddish-brown.

"You'll get used to it if you hug me a little longer," Ye Wenxi said softly.

Lu Weidong's Adam's apple bobbed again, he coughed dryly, and somewhat awkwardly slowly released his hand.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Get ready to get off the bus."

Just now on the bus, Ye Wenxi saw her own face clearly through the reflection in the bus window.

His hair was messy, his clothes were wrinkled and stained, and he looked filthy and disheveled.

Go see Lu Weidong's parents looking like this.

Anyone who saw it would think it was picked up from the roadside.

Although, in some respects, the facts are indeed quite similar.

"Um..." she began somewhat awkwardly.

"How about you buy me some clothes first? Consider it a loan, I'll definitely pay you back later."

Lu Weidong glanced at her and said calmly, "No need. My family is quite open-minded. I'll explain things to them, and they won't have any objections."

Ye Wenxi rubbed his forehead, somewhat helpless.

"No... bro, I have a reputation to maintain."

Finally, at Ye Wenxi's insistence, the two of them took a detour and went to a department store.

I quickly bought a light blue floral shirt and navy blue trousers.

After changing her clothes, Ye Wenxi combed her hair again in front of the reflection in the glass shop window, tying it into a neat ponytail.

When she walked out of the fitting area, Lu Weidong stared at her, slightly lost in thought.

The girl in front of me seemed like a completely different person.

The floral shirt accentuated her fair skin, and the well-fitting trousers highlighted her straight legs.

Her high ponytail swayed gently with her steps, giving her a refreshing, clean, and neat appearance.

If you let her walk onto a university campus, everyone would think she's a cultured college student.

The two set off again and eventually stopped in front of a grand courtyard with a large gate and soldiers standing guard with guns at the entrance.

A white sign with black lettering hangs on the gatepost: Harbin 28th Group Army Staff Quarters.

The roads inside the courtyard are wide and clean, with rows of tall poplar trees on both sides.

Inside, there stand rows of detached small buildings.

The buildings are spaced far apart, creating a tranquil environment that exudes an understated sense of solemnity and order.

Ye Wenxi stood at the entrance of the small building, feeling a little apprehensive, and hesitated to move.

"How about... I go stay at the guesthouse first. You guys talk first, and I'll come over when we've finished."

Although she knew that the Lu family in the original story were relatively reasonable, she didn't really want to be taken in so directly.

The whole thing was so shocking that she remembered her mother almost fainting when she heard about it in the story, and the house was in complete chaos.

You can enjoy the melodramatic plot of a novel, but when this happens to you, Ye Wenxi feels a little ashamed.

Lu Weidong could also see that she chickened out at the last minute.

Just as the two were talking quietly at the door.

A crisp bicycle bell rang out from afar, and several middle school students in blue and white school uniforms rode their bikes, laughing and joking as they turned into the courtyard.

"Lu Xiaojun! I just saw that guy at the door, he looks just like your second uncle!" a tall, thin boy shouted.

The boy, named Lu Xiaojun, was pedaling his bicycle with an ice pop stick dangling from his mouth.

His schoolbag was casually slung across his body, his school uniform jacket was wide open, and he had a carefree and irresponsible look.

Without turning his head, he said, "Bullshit, my second uncle went back to the army."

"Really! How many people look like your second uncle? I'm absolutely sure I didn't see wrong!" the tall, thin man said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaojun turned his head and looked towards the door.

A tall, long-legged man in a crisp military uniform stood at the door.

His looks are so handsome they could knock you off your feet.

Who else could it be but his charming second uncle, Lu Weidong?
