Chapter 174 - "Odd Big Sister, I miss." (3)
Ning Zhi felt like there was fire burning in her chest as she brought Lu Jue home.
She did not say a word to Lu Jue until she walked inside his room with him.
Ning Zhi let go of his hand after the room door was closed behind them.
She questioned him, “Did you ask Golden Mane and Red Mane to lock you up?”
Judging from Golden Mane’s abrupt change of attitude and that the bodyguards did not step up. Everything pointed to the fact that it wasn’t a prank but that it was voluntary. In fact, he had asked for it himself.
The tall young man lowered his head. His lips pinched shut, he grunted a “Mmm” from his throat.
Lu Jue didn’t know how to lie, or coverup. He was an honest one.
“Why did you ask others to lock you up?” asked Ning Zhi in a stern tone.
Lu Jue looked up, looked at her, looked away and then, he looked back at Ning Zhi again and said, “Bully me, back Big Sister.”
The young man’s dull voice was particularly clear in a quiet room. Ning Zhi was stunned.
Lu Jue had figured it out?
He asked others to bully him just so that she would show up?
Ning Zhi suddenly remembered what Lu Jue had said to her earlier about the two new points in the timelines in Lu Jue’s growth.
Now she got it. They were orchestrated by Lu Jue himself.
Much like big Juejue who purposefully let himself be pricked by roses just to have her lick his fingers, now Xiao Juejue put himself in dire situations to get her to appear.
They were the same person. Let it be the young Lu Jue or the adult Lu Jue. They had the same personality and same way of thinking.
Ning Zhi looked at him seriously. Inside the dark black eyes of the innocent young Lu Jue was her reflection.
He looked at her in a daze, having no idea why she was upset at him.
Ning Zhi’s heart softened.
Lu Jue was not a fool. He noticed wisely that she showed up every time he was in a dire situation, bullied, or was unhappy.
That was the reason that he tried having others bully him.
He succeeded the first time and that was the reason there was the subsequent time of him being locked in a box.
“I know. You wanted to see me and you wanted me to show up.”
Ning Zhi’s voice lightened up and the anger in her chest dissipated. “But it is very dangerous for you to put yourself in dangerous situations. What if I don’t show up in time?”
Lu Jue couldn’t feel pain. He didn’t care about being beaten up or bullied nor was he afraid of them. As such, he would choose such a way in exchange for Ning Zhi’s showing up.
That was what Ning Zhi worried about the most. Lu Jue not being able to feel pain didn’t mean that he couldn’t be hurt.
Lu Jue pinched his lips shut a bit and said slowly, “Odd Big Sister, want see.”
He wanted to see her when he opened up his eyes.
He wanted to see her when he closed his eyes.
But, Odd Big Sister was not there.
With the innocent young man professing how much he missed her, Ning Zhi blushed and her heart softened.
What was she going to do?
It was wrong for him to be this cute.
It wasn’t his fault. It was hers!
She was wrong. She shouldn’t have asked him so sternly and she shouldn’t have looked at him so coldly.
Meeting his docile eyes, Ning Zhi felt that she couldn’t have been more wrong.
But, thinking about how Lu Jue had put himself in danger’s way and had no idea how serious that matters were, Ning Zhi still felt the need to educate him seriously.
“Every time that I come to see you, I need to work very hard and spent a lot of energy in exchange for the opportunity to come.” Ning Zhi wooed him.
She wasn’t exactly lying. She did have to work very hard to earn little suns from big Juejue before she could consume them to come and save Xiao Juejue.
Ning Zhi went on to say, “If you keep putting yourself in harms way and ask others to bully you in order to get me to show up, I will have to keep work working and spend a lot of energy. I might die from overworking.”
She was spending little suns much faster than she was earning them.
This trip cost her 200 little suns. She might need 300 little suns if another new stop appeared in the timeline next time.
Was she supposed to kiss big Juejue so much that his lips were swollen?
