Chapter 54: Finally Found You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The appearance of this thing in this scene was really out of place.
Moreover, when did his second brother, the cold-faced demon, become so gentle and domesticated?
He looked at the food tray in his hand and felt a thud in his heart.
Ever since his engagement, his second brother had been constantly running around outside and rarely at home. It is obvious that he was clearly dissatisfied with the arranged marriage.
Oh no, is he trying to poison her with his own hands?
Otherwise, how could he suddenly be so courteous?
Gu Shiyan raised his leg and was about to walk past him.
Gu Jinxi quickly took a step forward and stood in front of him.
He laughed dryly. ” Hehe, Second Brother, go do your thing. Give this to me. ‘
Gu Shiyan glanced at him coldly and said mercilessly, “If you want to eat, go get it yourself.”
Before he could take a step, Gu Jinxi had already blocked him again.
Gu Shiyan narrowed his eyes.
Gu Jinxi turned around and secretly looked at Lu Miao, who was seriously correcting his questions in front of the desk. He gritted his teeth.
He leaned in front of him and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, ” Second Brother, I know you don’t like Second Sister-in-law and think she’s not worthy of you, but you can’t do something like poisoning the food, right?
Second Sister-in-law is really very good…”
Gu Jinxi kept babbling, and Gu Shiyan’s forehead could not help but twitch.
“Watch less stupid dramas.”
He raised his long legs and walked around him, walking toward Lu Miao.
He placed the plate on the table in front of her. ” You haven’t eaten dinner yet. Eat something first.”
The fragrance of the Yang Chun Noodles entered her nose, and Lu Miao finally felt that her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
Previously, her understanding of the CEO came from some melodramatic dramas. They are usually arrogant, domineering, and extremely self-centered. They would do anything to find out what they wanted to know.
However, Gu Shiyan seemed to be completely different. Every time he communicated with her, it was just right. He did not ask too much about what she did not want to say, respected her privacy, and was thoughtful and considerate in everything.
He even noticed that she hadn’t eaten.
“Thank you.”
Gu Shiyan glanced at Gu Jinxi at the side and said slowly, ” Jinxi’s foundation is too weak. It’s already hard enough for you to go to school by yourself every day, so you don’t need to spend too much energy tutoring him. If he can pass, that’s enough. If necessary, I’ll find a private tutor for him later.”
Gu Jinxi felt speechless. Was this his biological brother?
He finally found someone as godly as his sister-in-law but his brother actually told her to ignore him?
Lu Miao did not mind. ” Although his foundation is a little weak, he’s obedient enough. It’s not difficult. ”
“Always prioritize yourself first. You still have classes tomorrow.”
Gu Shiyan said directly, then looked at Gu Jinxi. ” I’ll give you ten minutes. Go back to your room and sleep.
Gu Jinxi rolled his eyes at him. ” I know.”
When he finally sent his second brother off, he turned around and saw that Lu Miao had already picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Startled, he quickly went up and asked nervously, ” Sister-in-law, are you okay? Do you have a stomachache? Or are you feeling unwell?”
Although he had been very quiet at the door just now, Lu Miao’s five senses were already extraordinary. This child had really watched too many melodramatic dramas.
However, it was still beyond her expectations that Gu Jinxi would protect her like this.
“Don’t worry, there’s no poison in here.”
Gu Jinxi’s thoughts were exposed and he chuckled.
The next morning, Gu Shiyan personally sent Lu Miao to school.
At noon, Lu Miao avoided everyone and sneaked to the observatory tower behind the field.
Although the Gu family was skeptical of Lin Bufan’s words, they were still quite concerned about this project.
After a month, the main part of the observatory was more than half completed.
According to the current progress, it should be completed in less than three months.
After confirming that there were no problems with the formations and talismans that had been buried in various places, Lu Miao turned around and was about to leave when she saw the uncle that she had met last time walking over from the direction of the school building with a frown.
He saw her. Her eyes lit up as she walked over quickly and said in surprise, ” Little girl, I’ve finally found you. ”
“Uncle, is there anything you need?” Lu Miao asked.
“After you gave me the small pouch last time, the steel pipe on the shelf fell on the third day and brushed past my scalp.
I almost lost my life.
When I went home to change my clothes at night, I realized that the things in the small pouch had already turned to dust.
I knew that it must have saved my life.”
The middle-aged man reached into his pocket excitedly and took out a red packet, then shoved it into Lu Miao’s hand.
“I went to the front to look for you several times but couldn’t find you. This is a small token of my appreciation.”
Lu Miao pushed the red packet back. ” It was nothing. You don’t have to take it to heart.
She was telling the truth. At that time, she had only acted because she saw that the uncle was kind. She had never thought of asking for anything in return.
“No, no, nothing is taken for granted. Please accept it.” The uncle insisted on giving the red packet back to her.
Lu Miao had no choice but to accept it.
He was about to leave when he saw that the uncle wanted to say something but hesitated. He asked directly, ” Uncle, is there anything else?” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said embarrassedly.
“Little girl, can you tell me where you bought the small pouch last time?
I want to buy another one.”
Lu Miao looked at him from head to toe. ” You don’t need it. ‘
The middle-aged man sighed and said worriedly, ” It’s my daughter. I told you last time that she’s also a student at this school. She’s in her second year of high school.
A few nights ago, when she returned home, she seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She stayed at home 24 hours a day and ate non-stop.
If we didn’t let her eat, she would look at us with that terrifying gaze and even bite us crazily.
Her stomach was about to burst, but he was still eating.o
I asked the doctor to come and see me, but the doctor was scared away.
My wife said that she might be possessed. I’ve also looked for a master, but it’s useless.
I don’t know if that small pouch is useful, but I really have no other choice. No matter what, I want to try. I can’t watch my daughter die from being stuffed to death. ”
‘l’ne uncle’s eyes reaaenea as ne spoke.
Lu Miao pondered for a moment. ” That small pouch is useless to her. However,
I can go back with you to take a look. ‘
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up instantly. He said excitedly, ” Alright, I’ll bring you back now.”
Since Lu Miao could tell that he was in danger, she might be able to tell that something was wrong with his daughter.
Thinking that this was a school, she hurriedly said, ” I’m sorry, I forgot that you guys haven’t finished school yet. I’ll wait for you at the school gate after school in the afternoon.
Lu Miao nodded. After setting the time and place for the meeting, she took out her phone to check the time. Since there was still some time before the afternoon class, she left the school and went to the market.
After school in the afternoon, when she arrived at the school gate, the uncle was already waiting there. He was looking in anxiously.
When he saw her, he quickly came over to welcome her.
The uncle’s house was in an old residential area. The residential buildings inside were all five-story low buildings. Probably because of the age, the outer walls had already peeled off a lot.
The weather was still hot, and the sun had yet to set. As they walked outside, their foreheads were covered in sweat.
As soon as the two of them walked into the building where they lived, Lu Miao sensed a trace of coldness.
The uncle lived on the top floor.
There was no elevator in this building. The two of them climbed up the stairs, and the chill became even stronger.
When they reached the fifth floor, the coldness was almost at its peak.
The sunlight outside the window shone through the glass window at the top of the corridor, but it did not feel warm at all when it shone on people.
With a creak, the old door of the opposite house opened, and a woman in her thirties or forties walked out.
She cursed the damn corridor in a low voice for being so cold on such a hot day. She rubbed her arms and quickly went downstairs.
The middle-aged man took out the key and braced himself to open the door..
