18: Chapter 18: Did they go too far and turn Lu Xiao into Boiling Sheep?
"I want to tell her. But she has too much self-esteem and hates deception!"
Lu Xiao said, "I'm afraid of losing her, and I'm also afraid of putting too much pressure on her!"
"She's under absolutely no pressure!"
Shen Yuan retorted, "You not telling her is what's causing the pressure!"
"But, what if she really thinks she's not good enough for me?"
Lu Xiao asked.
Shen Yuan: "Then deal with it!"
"Brother Shen, that's not fair!"
Lu Xiao continued, "I'm genuinely distressed!"
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, "You damn well are just hiding your identity to deliberately test how others feel about you, aren't you?"
"Have you read too many cheap romance novels?"
"Lu Xiao, if you're still a man, go find her right now!"
Shen Yuan shouted.
Lu Xiao shook his head, "I'm genuinely afraid of putting pressure on her!"
"How about I listen to you and continue testing her feelings?"
Lu Xiao asked.
"Get lost!"
Shen Yuan was completely speechless, "When the hell did I tell you to test her feelings?"
"Lu Xiao, let me tell you one last time..."
"If you want to date, get your head straight!"
"Relationships are not tools for you to joke around with!"
"If you're just playing around, then give her some money and break up with her!"
"If you truly love her, then go over there right now and tell her who you really are!"
Shen Yuan sneered.
"Brother Shen, why are you getting angry?"
Lu Xiao acted like he was under a spell, "I really do like her, but I'm afraid of putting pressure on her!"
"I honestly think it's better to do as you said and keep testing..."
Lu Xiao smiled, "As long as she can pass the test..."
"I'll test your grandfather!"
Shen Yuan cursed angrily, "You're testing her, but you have to tell her your identity in the end anyway. You say you don't want to put pressure on her, but you're just talking nonsense!"
"Lu Xiao, your own heart is twisted, stop spouting nonsense to me!"
"What 'afraid of putting pressure on her'?"
"What 'afraid of losing her'?"
"Lu Xiao, you're pretending to be broke to date her just because you think your family background is good..."
"And her family background is poor, so you think she's not good enough for you!"
Shen Yuan sneered, "Bullshit 'hiding identity to date'..."
"What, do you feel good about yourself watching her live a hard life?"
"Watching her have a rough time while still loving you wholeheartedly..."
"Does it make you feel smug?"
"To put it plainly, you just want to have your cake and eat it too!"
"You want to get it for free, but you have just a tiny bit of conscience, so you can't bear to break up!"
"Anyone who hides their identity to date and test feelings is trash!"
Shen Yuan sneered.
Lu Xiao pursed his lips, "Brother Shen, why don't you understand?"
Shen Yuan: Holy shit!
"I don't understand your grandfather!"
A hard object landed in Shen Yuan's hand.
Chu Yang nodded silently.
Shen Yuan looked down and saw that Chu Yang had handed him the tripod from the car.
Shen Yuan: Those who know me, Yang Zi, you are the man who understands my heart the best!
"Brother Shen, I won't get it for free, nor do I think she's not good enough for me!"
"Why can't you just listen to me properly?"
Lu Xiao tried to defend himself.
"I'll listen to your grandfather!"
"Lu Xiao, give me your life!"
Swinging the tripod, Shen Yuan struck.
Lu Xiao: "？？？？？"
Holy shit, Brother Shen, you're hitting me!?
Bang!
Bang bang bang...
Clatter...
Shen Yuan swung the tripod and smashed it down. Lu Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something...
Shen Yuan poked him in the center of his neck, in the depression above the Adam's apple, the location of the Lianquan acupoint.
This location is the 'mute point' from martial arts novels.
In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is an acupoint on the Conception Vessel, used to treat swelling and pain under the tongue, slurred speech, drooling... and sudden loss of voice.
Spiritual energy was channeled into it...
Lu Xiao couldn't say a word.
He scurried away, being fiercely smashed by Shen Yuan.
After a long time...
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for beating the Child of Destiny until he scurried away!"
"Congratulations on obtaining 150 villain points!"
The system's voice sounded.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath, then poked Lu Xiao's throat again.
"Now, are you awake?"
Shen Yuan squinted his eyes.
Lu Xiao opened his mouth, "I'm awake!"
"I was wrong!"
"Brother Shen, I was wrong!"
"I don't even know what happened to me!"
"I, I don't even know what's going on!"
Lu Xiao hugged Shen Yuan's thigh, "I was wrong, I was wrong! Wuu wuu wuu!"
"Bang!"
Kicking Lu Xiao away, Shen Yuan said impatiently, "We're close, but don't wipe your snot on me."
"Brother Shen, thank you!"
Lu Xiao stood up, his eyes incredibly firm.
Shen Yuan: Look, I beat him, and he still has to say thank you to me.
"Thank you, Brother Shen, for waking me up!"
Lu Xiao took a deep breath, "I'm going back now to find Wen Xun and explain everything to her!"
"If she can forgive me, I'll treat her well for the rest of my life!"
"If she can't forgive me, then I'll let go and bless her silently!"
"Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean possessing them. Just standing in the corner silently, watching her smile, watching her make a fuss, watching her surrounded by a good man, is enough."
"Love is giving, not taking!"
"Love is fulfillment. It doesn't have to be holding hands, it doesn't have to be walking side by side. Just guarding her silently and watching her be safe and peaceful year after year is my greatest satisfaction in this life."
"As long as she's living well, I'm content!"
Lu Xiao said solemnly, "But if she has any trouble, I will help her with all my might!"
"Even if it means buying breakfast for her boyfriend?" Shen Yuan blurted out.
Lu Xiao nodded heavily, "That's right, even if it means buying breakfast for her boyfriend."
Shen Yuan fell over.
Chu Yang hurriedly supported him.
Shen Yuan: Did I overdo it...
And turned him into a total simp?
How did he suddenly become such a bootlicker?
Chu Yang: "..."
I've discovered that no one who associates with Yuan Zi seems to be normal.
Oh, Uncle Gou is normal.
I'm normal too!
Yiyi is normal too!
It's just...
Where is my own sister?
Is she normal or not!?
When she comes back from abroad, won't she beat me to death?
In the end, force me to death, and then regret it?
And then go bother Shen Yuan again?
Chu Yang hurriedly shook his head.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Brother Shen, thank you!"
Lu Xiao bowed solemnly, "Tomorrow at the birthday banquet, I will definitely give you a big gift!"
"I'm going to confess my identity now!"
Lu Xiao turned and ran, quickly got into his sports car, and zoomed off with a swoosh.
Shen Yuan and Chu Yang looked at each other in silence.
"My Young Master Shen, please!"
Chu Yang silently reached out his hand, "Let's... go home!"
"Yeah, let's go home!"
Shen Yuan nodded in a daze.
That's not right...
In the Original Owner's memories, this guy Lu Xiao wasn't actually this crazy, right?
What exactly have I changed since I arrived!
The two of them got into the car, Chu Yang drove...
Although he didn't have a driver's license, no one usually checks luxury cars.
Both of them were silent, very quiet.
Opening the gate, entering the hall...
Both of them looked up in astonishment, gasping for air.
That is...
Chu Yiyi?
Wearing a moon-white tube top evening gown, the hem of the dress was dotted with tiny rhinestones, rippling with shimmering light, as if the galaxy had been crushed and sewn onto the skirt.
Her long hair was loosely tied into a low bun, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and the ends of her hair curled in a natural arc, setting off that face to be pure and refined.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains containing black ink, her eyes like autumn water rippling, looking like someone who walked out of a painting of a beautiful woman, carrying an otherworldly fairy-like aura.
Shen Yuan: Your sister!
Chu Yang: Your sister!
