Chapter 41 – The already emotional heart will still hurt

Chapter 41 – The already emotional heart will still hurt

 

Xing Zhongwan’s already emotional heart started to hurt. He clutched his knees and went upstairs. To be honest, Xing Zhongwan has never been as embarrassed as he was today. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. There was a message from Cheng Zhengzhe. Xing Zhongwan thought that it was a little strange and made a call back.

 

The phone was answered quickly and there was the sound of the airport announcement.

 

“Laoxing, you just called me back now. I’m about to board the plane.”

 

Xing Zhongwan squinted, “Then keep what you have to say short!”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe muttered that he was really ruthless, “It’s about the thing you asked me to investigate clearly last time. I really have to admire your intuition. There is indeed a problem!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed. Before Cheng Zhengzhe left, Xing Zhongwan asked him to check one thing about Madam Qi. The reason for Xing Zhongwan’s suspicion was the fact that Madam Qi insisted on having Qi Yun’s child. If it is the blood of the Shen family she’s after, then Qi’s fourth young master was also her son. Perhaps the reason why she is so persistent was that Qi’s fourth young master may not be Qi Yun’s own younger brother.

 

There is a high possibility that the Shen family knows about this matter, which is why Madam Qi would rather drug her son and make Qi Yun give her a child.

 

“Madam Qi is also known as Guan Yang. She had a boyfriend before marrying into Qi’s family. They had a good relationship for many years. Later, she married Qi Yun’s father for no reason. It’s not a good thing and this is something everyone in the circle knows about. Qi Yun was taken care by Mrs. Qi when he was born while Guan Yang took care of her husband.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe took a breath, saying that he was really tired, “I investigated this matter and it’s really a lot of hard work. I used a lot of effort to dig three feet in the ground, only to get a little bit. But that’s enough! Qi Yun’s father had a ligation1Cutting and tying up the sperm duct. As a method of birth control for men. procedure when Qi Yun was 5 years old. I don’t think anyone knows about this matter except the Shen family, and maybe Guan Yang doesn’t know either, otherwise she wouldn’t blatantly cuckolded her husband.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe took the phone that was heating up and switched it to his other ear. “Laoxing, if you really want to help Qi Yun bring down his mother, this matter alone will cause her to be kicked out of the house by the Qi family, and she will never recover for the rest of her life!”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought about it, “Can you find that boyfriend of hers she had before the marriage?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe sighed, “I’ll try. Give me some time. Seriously, you have already cut ties with the domestic affairs here. If you do this, your grandfather will cry to death in heaven. After so many years of dealing with them, if you want to withdraw, just withdraw!”

 

Xing Zhongwan took out a cigarette from his pocket and blew a smoke ring with it, “It’s time for them to retire abroad for their old age. Grandpa left this lifeline for me, but he didn’t tell me to withdraw. Besides, I kept it to keep an eye on Xing Zhengping’s movements. It’s useless now that my mother has been returned.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was stunned for a moment, “Are you planning to clean this mess up and leave everything in this country in a dashing manner? Then… What about Qi Yun? You did so much for him behind your back, saying he doesn’t mean anything to you. I really don’t believe it!”

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned against the balcony and took a deep breath, “Mrs. Qi reached out to save my mother and her son. If it weren’t for her, my mother and I would have died a long time ago, so I have to repay this kindness. But Qi Yun, he and I are people from two different worlds. He was born to shake the heavens in this world, while I like to lazily bask in the sun and pass the time. If our feelings have slightly deviated, he and I will never be possible. I did this and I’m just doing my best. Don’t worry, I have a clear mind.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was speechless and it took a long time to say, “So you have such a relationship with him. I understand you. I will give you an answer as soon as possible. Laoxing, be careful when you are alone in the country. The Qi family is not kind and the Shen family is also not known to distinguish between friends or enemies, so be careful!”

 

Xing Zhongwan answered with an ‘en’ and hung up the phone.

 

Squeezing the cigarette in his hand, he walked to the balcony and took a deep breath. The stars in the sky were twinkling. Xing Zhongwan looked up for a long time until his neck became sore. Looks like those eyes were also as beautiful as the stars in the sky

 

Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and his throat was inexplicably sour. Even if things would get annoying, it would be good if he could get better.

 

Fairy sister, may your eyes be as bright as stars forever.

 

For more than an hour, Xing Zhongwan drove Qi Yun to take him swimming in a lake. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t think of any fun places in just one night. Qi Yun couldn’t see so when he said that he was taking him out to relax, but he was actually taking him out to play with him.

 

Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun on a boat as the breeze was blowing and it was very comfortable. Xing Zhongwan leaned lazily on the boat and looked at Qi Yun who was sitting upright on the opposite side. He suddenly thought of the wall full of awards and trophies that he saw last time at the Qi family’s house. He couldn’t help laughing, “Qi Yun, when you talk about a case like this, won’t your client cry when they see you?”

 

Qi Yun was startled, “Work is work. Am I too serious now?”

 

Xing Zhongwan laughed, “You’re not working now so just relax a little. Your back doesn’t have to be so straight. I’m getting tired just looking at it. Please relax.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pointed to a bridge not far away, “Look there. There’s a legend about what it is, ah, a love story. It’s between a snake and a human being and they fell in love on that bridge. Ah, I forgot that you can’t see. Qi Yun, you must come to see it if your eyes are better in the future.” 

 

The stern-looking man at the other end of the boat looked perturbed. What was he talking about? About a snake and a human being and all. How did a poignant love story get so distorted after coming out from his mouth?

 

Qi Yun couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Wanwan, you are too funny.”

 

As Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun’s relaxed shoulders, the corners of his mouth were tugged upwards, and his heart was relieved, “That’s right. You should laugh more. You’re still young and you should keep that smile on your face from morning to night. There are already so many troubles in life. Human’s have a fixed lifespan and one day is too short. Why not live happily? Come, I will take you to see the bridge. It is raining today. There’s not a lot of people so it won;t be crowded.”

 

After getting off the boat, Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun to the bridge. The light rain fell on the umbrella without making a sound, but it made one feel cool.

 

“When I was young, my mother would bring me here as soon as she came back. I always didn’t know what it was like to have so many people around me. When I grew a little older, I realized that my mother didn’t come here to see the view, but the love behind it.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s mother was picked up by his grandfather here and it is for this reason that his mother buried herself in Jiangnan before she died. The feelings for the Xing family and the feelings for the grandfather were never put down until her death. His mother had believed in Buddha all her life, but in the end she still didn’t understand the truth before her obsession ruined her body and took her life.

 

Qi Yun raised his hand and moved it back to Xing Zhongwan’s hand, “You are a very transparent person, Wanwan. You have done many things for me that you shouldn’t have done. There are many things that Qi Yun can’t do without help. I don’t even have the qualifications to stand by your side if I don’t fight for it. I promise you, if I can get off the operating table this time, and if you are willing, can I go with you?”

 

The umbrella in Xing Zhongwan’s hand became crooked and he almost couldn’t hold on, “What are you saying? You will be fine.”

 

Xing Zhongwan fixed the wheelchair, walked to Qi Yun and squatted down, “Qi Yun, you were born excellent and the responsibilities that come with your status are not something you can throw away. You can survive even during the most difficult times. Now that God has pity on you, there is nothing you can’t live without. You must stand at the top, and those who have persecuted you must be punished.”

 

Qi Yun’s hands on his knees trembled slightly, “Wanwan, I’ve never been a good person.

 

Xing Zhongwan got up and raised his hands above his head, “I don’t care what others think of you. I only believe what I have seen and felt these days, and Qi Yun is a very soft person in my heart.”

 

Qi Yun raised his head and stretched his hand forward, touching the corner of Xing Zhongwan’s clothes, “Wanwan, I said I would give you a gift for your birthday.

 

Xing Zhongwan turned around, “I said I don’t want any gifts, Qi Yun, you…” 

 

Xing Zhongwan stopped talking as he watched Qi Yun grasp the handles on both sides of the wheelchair before standing up slowly with his body supported. When he got up, the blue veins on the back of his fair hands buldged out. Although his posture was not good-looking and his body was swaying, the corners of Xing Zhongwan’s eyes suddenly turned red. Qi Yun had faint sweat on his forehead as he bowed his body and slowly let go of his hands, trembling. Little by little, he stood up straight, his hands tightly grasping the sides of his trousers as his two slender legs trembled, and his eyes that seemed to be covered in a veil showed resolve.

 

He supported Qi Yun’s body for those two steps, “Qi Yun, you can stand? That’s great, you can stand!”

 

Xing Zhongwan was so happy that he forgot how to express his joy. Qi Yun stretched out his arms around Xing Zhongwan, “Wanwan, I will become better. I want you to know that Qi Yun can do it.” Yes, so please wait for me a little longer.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s heart felt as if it had been hit hard and the pain was so intense that even breathing hurt. Xing Zhongwan, you and Qi Yun are from two different worlds, so what if you are tempted? You and him… Was it impossible? You never even thought about staying till the end from the beginning, so don’t give him hope. Even if they are passers-by in each other’s lives, their already emotionally involved hearts will still hurt.

 

Xing Zhongwan hugged Qi Yun as he turned his back, closed his eyes, and said lightly, “Okay.”

 


T/N: How romantic. I wanna go on a boat ride in the romantic drizzle and exchange stupid romantic words too. When will me stop being a single pringle…

If you have any dating advice, please erm share. Just asking, for a friend. It’s definitely not for me ( ͡❛ ᴗ ͡❛)

Chapter 40 – You will never harm me

Chapter 40 – You will never harm me

 

Xing Zhongwan was annoyed. He finally had a little spare time and just wanted to take his long-lost nap, but was woken up by such an ignorant person.

 

Xing Zhongwan stepped on the chest of the young man. He looked good, but also resentful. At first glance, it seemed excessive. Just what kind of eyes did he look at him with? His eyeballs were about to pop out soon. Xing Zhongwan wedged down one foot and the man under his feet exclaimed.

 

Hey, no matter how you look at this face, it looked a bit like Qi Yun.

 

“Who are you? How dare you kick me, you’re going to die!”

 

Xing Zhongwan moved his feet away in disgust. So arrogant. He guessed it was Qi Yun’s younger brother. Tsk tsk tsk, the difference in temperament when they come from the same mother’s womb was really like heaven and earth!

 

He turned around to leave as Qi’s fourth young master struggled to get up from the ground and stopped in front of him, “You are not allowed to go! If you hit me and want to leave, there is no way that’s happening.”

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his eyebrows and looked at the idiot’s expression. Qi’s fourth young master looked at him with a pair of evil eyes and his throat went dry. So beautiful, why was he a man!? What a pity, if he were a woman…

 

While he was thinking about it, Chen Ying brought someone over and stopped in front of Xing Zhongwan, “Qi’s fourth young master, why are you here?”

 

Qi’s fourth young master returned to his senses and hummed, “I’m here to find my brother. Why? Can’t I?”

 

He then looked in the direction of Xing Zhongwan. See? I’m the fourth young master of the Qi family!

 

Xing Zhongwan yawned and went up the steps with his hands in his pocket. Qi’s fourth young master was anxious, “Hey, don’t go. If you hit me, you can’t leave! I-!”

 

Chen Ying looked at him blankly, “Young Master Yun has to rest so he has no time to see you. As such, the fourth young master should go back.”

 

Qi’s fourth young master wanted to go inside, but was stopped and annoyed, “Chen Ying, what do you mean!? Watch how you’re talking to me. Qi Yun is the grandson of the Shen family, so that means I am too! How can I say that? I am also half-considered your master. You are so unreasonable to me. Plus, that person just left after hitting me. Don’t you need to give me an explanation?”

 

Chen Ying seemed to have not heard what he said and turned his back to him. The man winked, and two people came out from behind and dragged Qi’s fourth young master out.

 

Qi’s fourth young master shouted, “Chen Ying, how dare you treat me like this. I’ll tell my aunt to teach you a lesson! Chen Ying, just you wait!”

 

Chen Ying lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up to see Qi Yun on the terrace of the second floor sitting on the wheelchair coldly.

 

Chen Ying walked to the second floor and stood aside slightly hunched over.

 

Qi Yun put a pair of well-jointed hands on the armrest of the wheelchair and tapped his slender and fair finger, “Which hand did he use to touch Wanwas?”

 

Chen Ying’s brows tightened, and Qi Yun said lightly, “Break it!”

 

Chen Ying’s brows furrowed deeper, “Master Yun, should we take this opportunity to advance the plan?”

 

Qi Yun turned the wheelchair in a different direction, “There are other ways. Don’t involve Wanwan in it. “

 

Looking at the back of Qi Yun as he entered the room, Chen Ying took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his sore nose. There is no better chance than this. Since you don’t want to do it, Master Yun, let me do it for you. Chen Ying didn’t dare to forget what the late madam entrusted to him back then. Young Master Yun, your surgery is imminent so you can’t wait any longer.

 

Xing Zhongwan sat happily beside Qi Yun with a bowl of smoothie. Qi Yun said helplessly, “Eat less ice, it’s not good for the stomach.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said solemnly, “I thought you were going to say, it’s not good for girls to eat too much ice.” After speaking, he couldn’t help laughing and the corners of Qi Yun’s mouth curled into a smile, “You’re still holding a grudge.”

 

“Every time I recall being called a girl by you for so long, I feel annoyed. Do you know that’s harassment in plain sight?” Xing Zhongwan handed the empty bowl to the servant behind him.

 

His sharp eyes saw Qi Yun’s hand, “Hey. Qi Yun, your fingernails are long. I’ll cut it for you.”

 

Qi Yun raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, “I hope when you remember me, you won’t just think about my bad points. Otherwise, the Qi Yun in your heart will only have a bad side. But how can I score more points with you and when can I carry you into the Qi family’s house?”

 

Xing Zhongwan held the nail clippers, and looked at him , “If you talk about carrying me into the Qi family’s house again, I will scratch up your face so you look ugly and make you unable to marry a wife for the rest of your life!”

 

    Qi Yun: …

 

    Wanwan, are you really so childish…

 

Under the sun, Xing Zhongwan lowered his head, grabbed Qi Yun’s hand, and carefully cut his long nails with the nail clipper. Qi Yun turned his head sideways with a smile on his lips and raised his other hand lightly on Xing Zhongwan’s head.

 

What the entourage behind them saw was the most peaceful appearance over the years. Qi Yun’s face was so tender they were about to drip tears. One was seated while the other was standing and it was as beautiful as a painting. No one wanted to disturb those two in the picture perfect painting.

 

Xing Zhongwan shook his head impatiently, “Qi Yun, take your hand away. Are you petting a dog!”

 

Qi Yun said, “Do you still want to keep long hair after all the time?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a handful of hair in his finger, “I just didn’t have any time to get it trimmed? It’s too troublesome to keep long hair.”

 

He raised his head and Qi Yun’s face was very close. Xing Zhongwan raised his head and looked at his fair skin, delicate eyebrows and the slightly curved mouth, which made his heart beat faster.

 

Those eyes fluttered without focus and the creamy white cardigan that lined the thin body made the entire person look extremely gentle. Was this his impression of Qi Yun?

 

The two of them looked at each other like this. The smile on the corner of Qi Yun’s mouth became bigger and bigger. Xing Zhongwan opened his eyes wider as the other got closer. Was he going to kiss Laozi again? What should he do? Was it urgent? Did he have to push him away now?

 

While struggling, Qi Yun’s soft lips brushed against his cheek and kissed his ear gently.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt like he was electrocuted and numb all over because of what he thought just now. His embarrassed face turned red and he straightened up quickly, looking around in a panic, “Uh… ah… I think I still  have something to do, so I’ll go first!” After speaking, he lowered his head and ran away quickly. 

 

Qi Yun innocently raised his eyebrows as he held his hand, “You haven’t finished cutting it yet?”

 

Someone behind him couldn’t help laughing and Qi Yun’s face turned cold, “Who is laughing?”

 

The person stood up behind, “Master Yun, I…”

 

“Why are you laughing?” 

 

The attendant answered with fear in his eyes as he trembled, “The young madam is blushing.”

 

Qi Yun waved his hand to the back and a smile appeared in his eyes.

 

At dinner, Qi Yun suddenly remembered something, “Wanwan, is your birthday coming soon?” Xing Zhongwan was struggling with the embarrassing event from this afternoon. The people in the room always looked at him with a deep smile. Anxiously poking at the rice in the bowl, Qi Yun’s sudden question startled him.

 

“Aiyah, next time you speak, can’t you give me a warning first?”

 

    Qi Yun: …

 

    Wanwan doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.

 

“Why did you ask me about my birthday? It’s not like a child’s birthday, we don’t have to celebrate it. Plus the timing is not good. It just happens to be on the same day as your surgery.”

 

Qi Yun put down the spoon in his hand, “I can celebrate it with you in advance. Let’s do it tomorrow. We will go out, to a place you want to go the most. There will be a gift for you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought about it. The place I want to go most?

 

When he turned his head and saw Qi Yun’s look of anticipation, he snorted twice, “Okay, I’ll think about it. Anyway, you will be bored all day long. I will take you there so you can relax. I don’t need the gift.”

 

“There is one more thing. Can’t you stop calling me Wanwan? That’s my mother…”

 

Qi Yun looked on innocently, “To be honest, I only know you as Wanwan. I don’t even know your full name.”

 

Xing Zhongwan almost blurted out his name.

 

“Isn’t it easy for you to check my identity and name?”

 

Qi Yun shook his head, “That’s different. Your name, your identity, your past. As long as it is you, I want to know everything about you. But I think you will tell me personally. I believe that one day you will accept me and tell me everything yourself.”

 

Xing Zhongwan dug himself into the pit again. He panicked for a while, suddenly stood up and almost knocked down the chair behind him, “If you want to call me Wanwan, go ahead. I’ll go up first and think about where to take you tomorrow.”

 

Xing Zhongwan hurried up the stairs, not paying attention as he slammed into the handrail of the stairs harshly, shocking the servant on the side, “Young madam, be careful.”

 

Xing Zhongwan wrinkled his face, waved to him, covered his knees and went upstairs.

 

Hearing the voice behind him, Qi Yun chuckled softly.

 

Identity? Someone who can reach the top of the information office and bypass his mother to send news to Qi Zongcheng must not be an ordinary person.

 

Wanwan, no matter who you are, the only thing I can be sure of is that you will never hurt me.

 


T/N: ≧◠ᴥ◠≦✊ We’re 10 chapters away from the volume finale!! I’m so excited~ After that, I’m going to take a vacation in my bed and sleep to death. Or maybe just hibernate for a few years before coming back. 1I’m joking!

Chapter 27 – Tested Positive for Pregnancy

Chapter 27 – Tested Positive for Pregnancy

 

Jian Luo froze all over.

 

For a moment, he thought of Jiang Jiang. Turning cold, the blood all over his body froze and he didn’t dare look back, fearing that this would be the last second of his life.

 

“Oh?” A familiar voice came from behind him. Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids and looked coldly: “Which dog?”

 

Jian Luo stubbornly turned around and met his blood-red eyes.

 

Lu Shifeng was quite tall. He was more than a head taller than him. When he stood up, he looked condescending, yet as majestic as a mountain. This forced Jian Luo to remember the fear of being dominated by Lu Shifeng, but his reason still did not respond. When he came over, his entire body seemed to be in pain in response.

 

Jian Luo’s body trembled slightly, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “Tell me, aren’t you always quite talkative?”

 

“…”

 

This is what you egged me to say.

 

Jian Luo stubbornly said, “Well, I didn’t see it clearly. I was bitten at night.”

 

Lu Shifeng squinted his eyes and the atmosphere in the surroundings suddenly became dark. Jian Luo glanced cautiously, and saw Lu Shifeng’s cold eyes looking at him. His eyes seemed to say:

Little. What about your father?

 

Jian Luo was scared so he subconsciously took two steps back, turning his face away: “You asked me so I’ll tell the truth.”

 

The little emperor “pfft” and laughed again.

 

Lu Shifeng turned his face away and said slowly, “Is it funny?”

 

The little emperor received the icy gaze and the smile on his face stiffened. He coughed lightly, “It’s not that funny.”

 

Nie Yan watched it at his leisure, as he pondered about it.

 

Jian Luo really didn’t want to stay here, so he took the initiative to say, “If the guest requires nothing else, I’ll go down first?”

 

His voice fell silent when the two individuals looked at him at the same time.

 

Looking at Jian Luo with this kind of gaze, he was suddenly stressed. He was going to die. Was there anything else he could do? No one ever told me this would happen!

 

Lu Shifeng sat down directly beside the emperor and said, “Sit down.”

 

Jian Luo pointed to himself: “Me?”

 

Nie Yan also immediately repeated after him: “The marshal asked you to sit, so sit down quickly.”

 

Sure enough, Lu Shifeng still had the upperhand so the little emperor didn’t play anymore. Now it seems that with Jian Luo here, the emperor won’t bother them. It’s the best for both of them.

 

Jian Luo was very reluctant, but because of his power, he reluctantly sat down.

 

The little emperor said to Jian Luo, “How can dogs be so good at biting? It only scratched your skin. You can tell me in detail.”

 

“…”

 

You are so annoying.

 

Jian Luo was perfunctory: “I didn’t see it clearly. I’ll tell you next time.”

 

The little emperor was disappointed: “When will the next time be? You must not lie to me.”

 

“Don’t worry.” Jian Luo continued to be perfunctory: “I’m an honest person. I won’t lie to you.”

 

The little emperor persistently asked, “What is your name?”

 

“Jian Luo.”

 

“Are you married? How many people are interested in you? What do you think of my uncle?”

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched: “I think…”

 

The little emperor was full of anticipation. He fluttered his eyelashes and his pale face looked like a delicate porcelain doll. He asked, “What do you think?”

 

“I think you should eat quickly.” Jian Luo pointed to the stinky tofu: “It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

 

The stinky tofu on the table was still persistently emitting a stench, showing its own presence all the time.

 

The little emperor pointed to tofu and said to Lu Shifeng, “Uncle Huang, do you want to try it?”

 

Lu Shifeng’s expression did not change: “This kind of delicacy can be enjoyed exclusively by Your Majesty.”

 

???

 

The little emperor suspected that Lu Shifeng didn’t want to eat it because he himself didn’t want to eat it, so he tried very hard: “Don’t think about the smell, it’s actually delicious!”

 

Lu Shifeng’s face was expressionless: “Your Majesty should eat more.”

 

 

The little emperor looked at Jian Luo angrily: “Luoluo, you said this is what you made. Come and tell Uncle Huang.”

 

Why is it me again?

 

Jian Luo felt that he would also be shot at even if he was lying down, and he said, “It’s delicious.”

 

Lu Shifeng looked sideways: “You made it?”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

“En.” Lu Shifeng picked up his chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth. After tasting a few bites, he said, “It’s really good.”

 

Little Emperor: ???

 

This is discrimination!

 

You are going too far!

 

The little emperor looked at Nie Yan: “Do you want to eat it?”

 

Nie Yan wasn’t very interested in this thing, but if he didn’t eat it, it would seem like he wasn’t respecting the little emperor. As a professional businessman, it was his ethics to put the customer first.

 

Therefore,

 

Nie Yan put a piece of tofu in his mouth. He endured the smell of the tofu and ate it into his mouth. He thought the taste would be unpleasant, but the moment he put it in his mouth, he was stunned.

 

Crispy and soft, the aroma overflowed between one’s lips and teeth.

 

It looked simple and unpretentious, but it tasted amazing!

 

The little emperor was delighted, as though he was the one who had cooked the food himself. Raising his face, he asked: “What? Is it delicious?”

 

“…”

 

Nie Yan smiled: “Of course.”

 

This table was full of exquisite delicacies. After the little emperor finished eating the stinky tofu, he reluctantly moved to the next target.

 

Jian Luo was not hungry at first, but he became hungry after smelling the food.

 

In fact, he wasn’t a particularly greedy person, but for some reason, he’s recently been wanting to eat more and more. He doesn’t know what’s going on with him. 

 

Lu Shifeng glanced: “Aren’t you hungry?”

 

Jian Luo didn’t expect to be asked, so he hurriedly went down the steps without any manners: “Hungry, hungry.”

 

There were chopsticks on the table so he picked them up to eat a piece of vegetables closest to himself. The vegetable was really alien to him, and he didn’t know what it was. It tasted nothing like a vegetable and was waxy when one chewed it. 

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo showed a lifeless expression.

 

Fortunately, the dining table was brilliantly designed with the ability to automatically rotate so some dishes will automatically be changed from the inside to the outside, and so forth.

 

There would soon be a stack of meat coming!

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up, and he showed a longing look at the meat. He stretched out a clip to pick it up, and the chopsticks were sent to the middle. However, Tragedy struck——

 

It was not enough.

 

Because his hands were too short, he couldn’t reach it!

 

Damn. Jian Luo almost shed tears, watching a plate of meat slip away in front of him.

 

Just as he was looking on with hatred, a piece of meat was put into his bowl.

 

Jian Luo raised his head in surprise and met Lu Shifeng’s gaze. The man looked down at him with a faint smile in his eyes and lightly opened his thin lips: “Eat.”

 

“…”

 

He was hateful.

 

Shouldn’t he be laughing at his short hands?

 

Jian Luo firmly picked up the meat and took a bite. The meat was fresh and tender in his mouth, with a milky and strong aroma. He narrowed his eyes happily: “It’s delicious.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Really?”

 

Jian Luo nodded hurriedly.

 

“Eat more.” Having said that, Lu Shifeng stopped looking at him and started to eat too, leaving Jian Luo alone with his empty bowl.

 

???

 

Jian Luo was at a loss and couldn’t believe it. He just let Lu Shifeng bring food to him. Did he suddenly not care about his own life or death?!

 

He came here himself, did he want to be slaughtered by both sides?

 

The outer rotating tray that was closer to him only had vegetables, but now the vegetables were tasteless. He especially wanted to eat spicy food.

 

Meat……

 

Meat!

 

Jian Luo’s heart was beating fast like a drum. He decided to bend himself over for five buckets of rice. He gently tugged at Lu Shifeng’s sleeve. First only once, then twice, then again and again.

 

Lu Shifeng finally turned to look again.

 

The human beside him has black and soft hair, and the fair little face was very pitiful to look at. At this moment, his eyes were sparkling which softened the heart of the person watching.

 

Jian Luo got closer and lowered his voice: “I still want to eat meat.”

 

The corners of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a smile. From such a close distance, he could smell the scent of a dragon, which was his own.

 

From ancient times to the present, the dragon race has always been a race with a strong possessiveness and territorial awareness. They like to circle and mark things that belong to them. It was best if their favourite person could be contaminated with their own scent.

 

Obviously, in Jian Luo’s current case, this pleased a certain dragon with nasty genes in its bones.

 

Lu Shifeng stretched out his arm and put the whole plate of meat that Jian Luo just said was delicious in front of him: “Eat it.”

 

Jian Luo was moved: “Thank you, Marshal.”

 

The little emperor was stunned and felt a little dissatisfied, so he leaned over and said, “Uncle Huang, I also want to eat meat.”

 

Lu Shifeng expressionlessly clipped a leaf between his chopsticks for him: “Balanced nutrition.”

 

“…”

 

The little emperor was silent.

 

Jian Luo ate the meat. The price of food is really expensive now, especially considering the prices on Dark Stars. If you want to eat vegetables, it is expensive, and if you want to eat meat, the price will be even higher. What was the cheapest? Nutrient solution would be the cheapest. You’d also need to rely on yourself to earn money as the meager salary is definitely not enough. Since that was the case, you can’t eat if you have nothing.

 

There is also a small piece of seafood on the plate.

 

Jian Luo took a piece and put it in his mouth. The seafood was delicious, but the fishy smell went straight to his stomach.

 

He frowned suddenly, swallowing down the discomfort.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced: “What?”

 

“No.” Jian Luo put down the chopsticks and suddenly said, “I’m full.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng looked at it: “Not going to eat anymore?”

 

Jian Luo nodded firmly: “Yes.”

 

There must always be a bottom line, he was not just a foodie! He must always find a way to come back to his senses, and um, yes, this was it! 

 

Kazuki brought the fruit after dinner from behind.

 

In the platter of unremarkable fruits, the holy dragon fruit appeared to be so prominent and shiny.

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up.

 

The little emperor propped his chin to look at the fruit plate: “The fruit trees seem to be very happy this year.”

 

Nie Yan echoed: “Well, the yield of holy dragon fruit was extremely low in previous years. The fruit trees did not even bloom one year.”

 

This year was different.

 

It was as though the Fruit trees were high on drugs. Over the course of a single night, the fruit trees in the entire valley blossomed with abundant fruits that grew well.

 

It’s as if when the trees were bored, they would come up with a few fruits as they wished. When they were in a good mood, perhaps two would blossom, and if they were in a bad mood, they would just go on a strike. However, this year was different.

 

The little emperor said: “Our Dark Star has not birthed new life for many years. The current life forms are basically synthetic gene replicas.”

 

Lu Shifeng finally said: “In recent years, the war has subsided, so the death rate has been decreasing. However, more and more superior genes have been lost due to the war.”

 

“Yeah.” Nie Yan, as a businessman, knew this well: “If things go on like this, the healthy exchange of genes from reproduction will come to an end.”

 

The Dark Stars have been cursed to lose their fertility nearly thousands of years ago. No matter how strong a race is, if no new life is born, it will lead to self-destruction.

 

There was no other way. In order to ensure the survival of the race, the National Research Department, led by priests, started the research and development of gene extraction and synthesis to create test-tube babies. They inherited the superior genes of the previous generations, growing both strong and intelligent.

 

However, the test tube projects also inherited the fatal flaw of infertility.

 

Dark Stars were soon caught in an endless cycle. Their entire planet had an average lifespan of five or six hundred years and have gradually transformed into the era relying on genetic synthesis.

 

The little emperor frowned: “Our excellent gene pool is getting smaller and smaller.”

 

Lu Shifeng leaned back lazily on the back of his chair: “Not everyone with excellent genes are willing to donate genes.”

 

The reason is very simple. Gene synthesis is just a temporary measure. If Dark Star can’t break the curse, they will still become extinct.

 

Jian Luo continued to stare at the holy dragon fruit.

 

The little emperor looked at him: “Luoluo, do you have any ideas?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo turned his head: “What?”

 

The little emperor was suspicious: “Did you not hear us just now?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo glanced around suspiciously: “I was listening. I was, and you’re right, you’re right, hehehe…”

 

There was silence at the dinner table.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Do you want to eat some fruit?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment and saw that Lu Shifeng was pointing at the holy dragon fruit.

 

The little emperor was delighted: “Is the taste of human beings so strange that they actually like to eat it?”

 

Lu Shifeng handed the fruit to him.

 

Jian Luo took it and asked suspiciously, “Would you like to eat it instead?”

 

“Not really.” The little emperor is a very talkative person: “Actually, the nutritional value is very high, but to the average person it must be somewhat unpalatable because it tastes a little sour.”

 

This can also be regarded as the self-defense tactic of the Holy Tree in order to ensure that the cubs are well-nourished.

 

In order to prevent people from coveting the nourishment of the dragon fruit as well as allow the cubs to eat the fruit.

 

Jian Luo happily peeled the holy dragon fruit, which was just like an ordinary dragon fruit, but white, juicy and sweet, and said, “But we humans are different.”

 

The little emperor nodded in understanding.

 

During the meal, Jian Luo was almost a happy camper, eating and eating, without any sense of oppression or self-consciousness of being at the same table with the characters of significant importance.

 

The emperor was about to return.

 

Jian Luo stood up and respectfully stood aside as he watched him leave. The little emperor walked ahead, and Lu Shifeng stopped in front of Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo waited for a long time without leaving.

 

Lu Shifeng wore a neat military uniform and he was upright. There was always an air of intelligence to him.

 

Jian Luo was suspicious: “Why aren’t you leaving?”

 

“I heard you resigned?” Lu Shifeng looked at him condescendingly: “Why?”

 

“…”

 

You’re still asking why?

 

Why don’t you think of why yourself?

 

I don’t even want to talk about it.

 

Jian Luo casually said, “I just want to try a change of environment and try a new job. It’s nothing else.”

 

Lu Shifeng: “Tell the truth.”

 

“Well, there’s no other reason.” Jian Luo said, “I really can’t stand it. You are so cruel. I’ll die again!”

 

The atmosphere suddenly fell into one of embarrassment.

 

After Jian Luo finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. In fact, he was also a little panicked. He was also old-fashioned. Although the two of them eventually got along, after having a taste of each other, it was still difficult to hide the pain of separation after.

 

If Lu Shifeng did that again, who could stand it!

 

Sure enough, when the words were said, Lu Shifeng’s eyes changed, those phoenix eyes raised slightly: “So you are angry with this handsome man?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly said, “Don’t dare.”

 

Lu Shifeng, the beast, nodded: “It’s better if you do not dare to.”

 

???

 

Jian Luo looked up in disbelief.

 

The little emperor in front shouted to the back and Lu Shifeng stepped away, leaving a single sentence behind: “Come back anytime you want to.”

 

Jian Luo was dumbfounded.

 

Before he went back, he was going to think about it deeply but Kazuki, who had been waiting, came over: “Luoluo, you are also amazing, you actually had dinner with the guests!”

 

Jian Luo took her back and said, “Do people know about this?”

 

Kazuki shook her head: “I haven’t said it yet but the master knows. I haven’t told anyone else.”

 

“Well, it’s for the best.” Jian Luo sighed: “I want to keep a low profile and hang back. I don’t want to be the target of public criticism.”

 

Kazuki liked his temperament very much.

 

After returning to the kitchen, Jian Luo took a shower and it was already time to get off work. It was alright to leave a minute early and he would definitely not stay behind so he packed up and left.

 

When he got back, it was already dark.

 

His younger brother came out of the house: “Big brother!”

 

Jian Luo looked happy and bent over: “What’s the matter, did something good happen?”

 

“Mom tried the live broadcast today.” His younger brother whispered in Jian Luo’s ear mysteriously: “Jinjiang seems to have given her a recommendation, and mother earned stars today.”

 

Jian Luo’s mouth twitched into a smile: “Really?”

 

HIs younger brother nodded fiercely: “Well, but mother won’t let me tell you. She said she wants to work harder.”

 

Jian Luo understood this very well.

 

He touched his younger brother’s head: “I didn’t hear anything just now.”

 

His younger brother laughed.

 

After entering, Jian Luo said hello to Su Liang. After returning from work, he always made dinner every night after seven o’clock. The meal is made during a live broadcast. Even if he was a food blogger, he couldn’t broadcast all day. He had to go to work during the day so the prime time to do a live broadcast was at night.

 

Su Liang said: “The kitchen is clean. If you need any help, Luoluo, let me know. “

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you, mom.”

 

After tying his apron, he walked into the kitchen. It was completely different from the dark and narrow space before. After getting some money, Su Liang was a woman with ingenuity so she invested some into the place.

 

The live broadcast light ball opened and Jian Luo waved: “Hey, I’m Luoluo. Have you eaten yet?”

 

Almost as soon as the broadcast started, a bunch of people crowded in:

“Anchor, I miss you to death.”

“I haven’t eaten yet. I’ve been waiting for you. I’ll eat while you cook.”

“Hahaha, what are we eating today?”

“What’s the thing behind the anchor, take a good look!”

 

Jian Luo looked behind him and found that he had actually drawn the design of the dream catcher before when he had nothing to do. Su Liang was tinkering with it and hung it outside the kitchen window. The small blue dream catcher was gentle and gentle. It was elegant as it was suspended in the air, beautifully swaying gently with the wind.

 

“That is a dream catcher.” Jian Luo smiled and deliberately zoomed the camera away so that anyone could see clearly: “If you have nothing to do, you can make one yourself and hang it anywhere. It can catch your nightmares if you hang it by your bedside.”

 

The audience was clearly interested:

“It looks complicated, do you have a link? I’ll buy it.”

“Look at it, did the anchor make it yourself?”

“Anchor, why don’t lower your head? We want to see your face.”

 

Jian Luo simply explained: “My mother made it. If you’re interested, I’ll let her live stream and teach you.”

 

Back to business, it’s time to make dinner.

 

There was a washed pumpkin and a fish on the chopping board in the kitchen. Jian Luo picked up the pumpkin first: “Today, let’s fry a pumpkin pie, and then make a steamed fish. In fact, spicy fish fillet is very delicious. But I have no spices in current conditions, so let’s forget it.”

 

He adjusted the direction of the small ball while talking.

 

Because it was too close, a little bit of his face was exposed. Just when the audience was eagerly waiting for Jian Luo’s face to be fully revealed, a golden light flashed across the screen: [Ultimate Alliance Leader entered the live broadcast room]

 

The audience was completely blinded by this golden light.

 

This sparked some dissatisfaction:

“The lag caused me to be unable to see the anchor.”

“He just showed a small section of his face. It’s so white and tender.”

“So cute, I like it.”

 

A group of people started to have unrealistic ideas, but Jian Luo didn’t pay attention and found that after the small ball was used by Su Liang, some parameters were not adjusted properly.

 

As he readjusted the camera and his face was on the verge of being exposed at any time, the audience became more crazy, and their speech became more explicit. They were all looking forward to it, when suddenly:

 

[Ready, set, aim! A deep-water torpedo has been shot for the anchor. Catch my love for you!]

 

Accompanying the torpedo is the special visual effect of the, which obscured the entire live broadcast page, making it blurry and unclear. After waiting for a while, everyone thought it was over when…

 

Ten seconds later, after the special effect ended, the viewers were greeted by more donation messages on screen:

【Ready, set, aim!】

【Ready, set, aim!】

【Ready, set, aim!】

 

The bolts of thunder appeared one after another, and the special visual effects finally stopped after Jian Luo fixed the camera. When Jian Luo innocently watched the live page, there seemed to be no special effects. After he was satisfied with the current angle, he said: “Okay, let’s continue the live broadcast!”

 

A barrage of the chat wailed:

“Ready, set, aim and shoot down that viewer for me.”

“I have a psychological trauma after hearing those three words.”

“Hahaha, my God.”

 

Jian Luo did not bother to hear the chat wailing. Instead, he began to deal with the fish first. He’s used to this kind of preparation. The fish is cut open with a knife before the internal organs are dealt with. There is hardly any hesitation when he cuts the fish up in a neat manner.

 

The audience is puzzled:

“Fish is not tasty.”

“The bones are prickly and it tastes fishy.”

“Yes, I don’t like to eat it either.”

 

Seeing the barrage, Jian Luo also explained: “If you have some, you can use wine to remove the fishy smell, it will be more delicious when steamed. For today, we are steaming the fish so pay attention. We will also be cooking fish soup later. It is very delicious and its high nutritional value is suitable for replenishing the body. As for its bones, they are unavoidable.”

 

The scene was originally bloody, but the gentle voice gave others a quiet and peaceful feeling, healing the hearts of others unconsciously.

 

While making fish, Jian Luo didn’t forget to show off: “I used to be very good at making fish, so I’m very good at this…urp”

 

Before he could finish speaking, the fish was disemboweled and its fishy smell rushed up, causing Jian Luo to vomit a lot. He covered his mouth and ran to the pool to vomit.

 

The audience was shocked stupid.

 

The incident happened suddenly, so no one responded in time.

 

Some people were still stunned. The bragging anchor just vomited in their faces.

 

Jian Luo retched for a while. After finding that he was only retching and no longer vomiting, and that there was nothing wrong anymore, he returned. Fortunately, the camera was not focused on the side where the pool of vomit was: “It’s nothing, I’ve been feeling unwell recently. There’s nothing wrong with the fish. It’s okay, now we’re going to deal with the fish again.”

 

While speaking, Jian Luo picked up the fish on the chopping board again, lowered his head and said, “I’ve dealt with this many times and I’ve never reacted adversely before so… urp…”

 

The fishy smell spread again, making people’s stomachs roll. Almost without hesitation, the fish was thrown aside and Jian Luo ran away again.

 

The audience was dumbfounded again:

“Is the host okay?”

“How can this happen? It’s so serious, could it be that you’re sick?”

“It’s not like that, it was fine before.”

“Cough cough, don’t you think this situation is very much like the reaction mentioned in the book, it says here…”
