989 You’re Not Only a Kid, But You’re Also a Troublemaker
Yang Yuelan had died and everything was over.
Regardless of Yang Yuelan’s crimes, Eldest Master Lu agreed to withdraw all charges against her.
That very night, her body was sent for cremation and her ashes were placed in the Lu family’s ancestral hall.
At three o’clock in the morning, Lu Zhiheng voluntarily left the capital with Third Master Lu. They went to the northwest region which was unpopulated to guard the border. For the rest of his life, he only returned once a year to look at Yang Yuelan’s tablet. After taking a quick look, he would leave. He did not remarry for the rest of his life.
!!
Naturally, this was all in good time.
…
After Yang Yuelan’s death, people simply felt a little sorry for her but it did not affect them badly.
It was the international racing compet.i.tion the next day.
Meanwhile, at the [Futuristic Racing Club], a few days before the race, lots of visitors gathered from all over the world at the capital.
The club opened at nine in the morning.
However, it was already flooded with people outside at around seven o’clock.
“I wonder if Miss Zi is taking part this time. If she is, I’m sure the [Futuristic Racing Club] will win.”
“If Miss Zi takes part, she’s going to steal the show completely. Can anyone compare to her?”
“She’s at another level with her modified cars. I know the results even without watching the race. This is unfair for the other racers.”
“Does it matter? It’s thrilling to see Miss Zi defeat the other racers overwhelmingly.”
“I wonder if those bigshots are making bets for the race this time.”
“If they do, I want to bet on Miss Zi.”
“Me too…”
…
When Zi Yi found Zhou s.h.i.+jin, he was sitting in the corner. He looked like he was in a terrible mood as he poked his phone screen.
“Zhou s.h.i.+jin,” Zi Yi called out to him.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin raised his head to see Zi Yi but he lowered his head in disappointment again after only a brief glance.
Zi Yi walked up in front of him and said angrily, “All the racers are getting ready but your team members are searching for you high and low. Are you happy?”
“That wasn’t my…”
“Why are you hiding here?”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin said nothing and seemed low-spirited.
Zi Yi angrily raised her foot and kicked him in the calf.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin glared at her with fire spewing from his eyes.
Zi Yi crossed her arms and sneered coolly, “If you dare to make trouble today, I’ll send you straight into s.p.a.ce and make sure you’ll never see Zhou s.h.i.+yu again.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked like an angry cat with its fur standing up. “If I can’t see him, so be it. I don’t care.”
“Heh!”
Zi Yi laughed coldly before she said in a cool tone, “Since you don’t care about seeing him, I should tell him to go back now.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin trembled on hearing this. He looked at her intently and asked, “Is he back?”
“Nope.” Zi Yi answered unusually quickly, so Zhou s.h.i.+jin did not believe her.
He shot up from the ground and asked, “Where is he?”
“Didn’t you want to get sent into outer s.p.a.ce? Why ask about his whereabouts?”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin glared at Zi Yi angrily. This woman was just like an evil monster. He refused to give in to her. “You can say whatever you want. I’m not desperate to see him.”
“Since you don’t care about seeing me, I can always go back.” An unexpected voice made Zhou s.h.i.+jin’s eyes light up. He did his utmost to control himself and suppress his joy as he looked at Zhou s.h.i.+yu standing in the corner wearing his gla.s.ses and looking particularly refined.
“I thought you said I’m not your brother?”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu walked over. He stood beside Zhou s.h.i.+jin and said to Zi Yi, “Boss, I know my little brother wasn’t easy to handle and I know you have things to do, so let me talk to him.”
Zi Yi nodded. She checked the time and said, “You have ten minutes to talk to him. After you are done, please send him over.”
“Ok.”
Zi Yi walked off.
They were in a remote corner. Other than staff members, no one else could access it.
After Zi Yi was gone, only the two of them remained.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu looked at his younger brother who was about the same height. He raised his hand and touched Zhou s.h.i.+jin’s head.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin instantly exploded. “What are you doing? Do I look like a kid to you?”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu adjusted his gla.s.ses and said, “In my heart, you’re not only a kid, but you’re also a troublemaker.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin promptly wanted to charge over and bite him.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu pretended not to notice his reaction. Instead, he continued speaking, “Boss Zi was right. You’re just a proud kid. You do whatever you want and also attract trouble.”
The moment he heard this, Zhou s.h.i.+jin’s face promptly changed, and he looked sad. He said in a self-deprecating tone and sneered, “I know I’ve always been a burden to you…”
“When did I ever say that?”
“Do you need to say it out loud? You not only treat me as a burden, but you also treat me as though I’m someone weird after I told you about my s.e.xual preferences. You wish I wasn’t your brother.”
The more Zhou s.h.i.+jin spoke, the more upset he became and his eyes turned red.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked as though he might cry at any moment. Zhou s.h.i.+yu frowned and did not know what to do about him. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “I never think of you as a burden. You’re my brother and we both lost our parents at a young age. You mean everything to me in the family.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked at him in disbelief.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu continued speaking in a disappointed tone, “In order to ensure you could grow up safely, I kept plotting and scheming. I can’t believe that’s what you think of me. You are such an ingrate. How could you think I would judge you for your s.e.xual preferences?”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin’s eyes turn red. He breathed deeply with his chest rising and falling hard as he roared. “Do you think I can control my s.e.xual preferences? I’m simply not interested in women. I feel grossed out being with women and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he used his sleeve to wipe his eyes. He turned his head away angrily without looking at his brother.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu could feel a headache coming on. He looked at Zhou s.h.i.+jin before he sighed and said, “It was my fault. I should’ve paid more attention to your mental well-being.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin felt annoyed on hearing this. “I’m just three years younger than you. I don’t need your attention.”
In a split second, someone flicked him on the forehead.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked at him in resentment and said huffily, “If you want to talk, then go ahead. Do you have to touch me?”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu laughed coldly. “If talking worked, I wouldn’t have to resort to touching you.”
The moment he finished his sentence, Zhou s.h.i.+yu raised his hand again.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin spoke as he quickly retreated, “Ever since we were kids, you always. .h.i.t me since you were older. Let me tell you. If you dare touch me again, I won’t hold back anymore.”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu continued to laugh coolly. “What do you mean by holding back? I don’t recall you ever winning.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked indignant.
Zhou s.h.i.+yu turned and headed to the entrance.
Zhou s.h.i.+jin felt worried inside and automatically called him, “Brother.”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu said, “Come on. You have to compete today. I do not want to see you lose. If you lose, I’ll never come to watch you race again. Also… after the race, let’s find someplace to have a proper chat.”
Zhou s.h.i.+jin looked at Zhou s.h.i.+yu from behind. Just when Zhou s.h.i.+yu was about to turn the corner, Zhou s.h.i.+jin finally ran to reluctantly catch up to him.
