Chapter 137 – Hey Friend, Have You Heard of ‘Siscon’? (37)
But Yan Luo didn’t notice Lu Buchi’s expression.
Her petite body struggled slightly on its own, “Elder Brother, what are you going to do? Put me down first.”
Lu Buchi felt a bit uneasy.
In other words, usually, it seemed that Lu Buchi doted on Yan Luo extremely, being completely obedient to her, but in reality, Yan Luo treated him the same way.
Since childhood, Yan Luo had been particularly good at sensing his emotions, able to coax him into compliance, which led to the current Lu Buchi. She had spoiled him, in her own way, unknowingly making it a deep-seated habit.
Lu Buchi felt genuinely aggrieved. He watched Yan Luo struggle in his arms, pursing his lips slightly. He sat down on the edge of the bed with her in his arms, locking her in his embrace.
With a warm breath and a tone of appeasement, “Luoluo, what’s wrong recently? Are you angry because Elder Brother has been too busy lately and didn’t have time to accompany you?”
“No, I’m not,” Yan Luo’s hand twisted slightly, shaking her little head, blinking her eyes, she looked at Lu Buchi, “I’m not angry. I know Elder Brother has a lot of things to do.”
Her gaze shifted, clearly lying…
Lu Buchi’s expression darkened completely. Was she lying to him, for the sake of that guy?
Suddenly Lu Buchi felt somewhat powerless. He had used all means to reach this position, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t overcome this moment of powerlessness.
Lu Buchi looked at Yan Luo’s calm gaze, suddenly feeling a bit panicked. Smelling the sweet scent emanating from the girl, his inner hostility couldn’t help but surge.
Had Di Tian also experienced this scent?
It made sense. The scent from the girl was a fatal attraction to all Ability Users, including himself.
His head slightly lowered, resting against Yan Luo’s forehead, his voice carried a hint of pleading, a posture he had never taken before, “Luoluo, did I do something wrong? Don’t be like this.”
Making him feel… as if she didn’t want him anymore.
Only then did Yan Luo lower her gaze slightly, her voice seemingly tinged with a hint of melancholy, “But, isn’t this what Elder Brother wants?”
No, it’s not. What he truly wants…
Lu Buchi’s breath hitched.
What he truly wanted was right in front of him.
A voice in his heart warned him. The lesson had been enough, don’t continue. If he continued, what he had now would also be lost.
“I saw it,” Yan Luo continued speaking. Their eyes were extremely close, staring directly at each other. Those clear eyes seemed to penetrate the mist in his eyes, making Lu Buchi slowly raise his head. “When I went to the study to see if you were there, I accidentally knocked something over, opened a cabinet, and saw what was inside Elder Brother’s cabinet.”
What was inside the cabinet? Information about the Imperial Family and Jiang Chou, about what they had done in his original planet?
Lu Buchi didn’t know what kind of emotion he was feeling right now. Some part of him felt relieved, yet also panicked.
That soft little hand covered his face, slightly cool, “It must be unforgettable, right? It must be painful, right? I want to help you. I don’t want Elder Brother to continue sinking.”
Unforgettable is too painful, forgetting is too heartless, it’s not realistic.
And she couldn’t be so capricious as to casually destroy the relationship between the Empire and the Alliance.
So she thought, was there any compromise that could make him feel better?
