Chapter 79: Second Brother
“Woof, woof, woof!”
It scratched at the door with its little paws and it looked into the distance, indicating that there was something outside.
“What is it?”
Puzzled, Lu Xingran picked up the puppy and opened the door slightly!
Oh~ now was the time!
Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Xingran wasn’t hugging it tightly, the little dog kicked Lu Xingran in the chest and dropped to the floor!
Ahh~ Its little back, it hurts!
But it wasn’t a baby.
Little Tyrant Dragon didn’t care. After rolling a few times over the floor, it barely managed to steady itself, then broke into a run for the stairs, not stopping at all!
Unfortunately, the small yellow meatball was quickly caught by the long-legged youngster. He caught it!
“Little cutie, you want to help your brother take revenge again, right?”
Lu No. 5 was touched again.
He thought that the people who would be beside him during his most difficult time would be his family. He didn’t expect it to be such a dog! A puppy!
“Little cutie, don’t worry. If I, Lu Xingran, have meat to eat in the future, you will definitely have soup to drink.
“Forget it. Let’s not bother with that woman for now. Let’s go eat instant noodles!” Anyway, he wouldn’t let that woman off. Hmph!
There was a hint of ruthlessness in the young man’s slender eyes. Holding the puppy gently in his arms, he went back inside to cook instant noodles.
Poor Little Tyrant Dragon: “…” Forget it, it didn’t want to say anything.
Hopefully, it wouldn’t have starved to death before it saw that woman again.
“Wah, sob, sob~”
However, the more it thought about it, the more it couldn’t accept it. It was the magnificent Little Tyrant Dragon, the system with the best performance in the Time and Space Administration. Other than being bullied by its host occasionally, it had always gotten whatever it wanted. But now, it had actually fallen to this state!
“Howl, sob, sob~”
Little Tyrant Dragon broke down and started bawling.
Such a small body shook with its whines. From time to time, it would twitch a few times, and tears would fall!
Lu Xingran’s heart ached. “Little cutie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Don’t scare me.
“You…sob~”
Perhaps it was because the puppy was crying too much, but little Lu No. 5 also couldn’t help crying.
He thought of his brothers who had been snatched away, and his past comrades; he thought especially of himself, who was now lonely and cold.
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. One person and one dog huddled together for warmth, two small things in a big world, and cried like their hearts were breaking!
Compared with the bright and joyful atmosphere in the bungalow on the other side, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
After crying for a long time, little No. 5 Lu Xingran finally felt that a big man shouldn’t be so weak. Suddenly…
There was knocking on the door.
Knock, knock! It was very loud and rhythmic, and was a shock to the system!
W- who was it?
Could it be that d*mn landlord again?
Pitiful little No. 5 hugged himself tightly, the puppy in his arms. He wanted to pretend that he wasn’t home.
His heart was in his throat. He was afraid that the rude and unreasonable landlady would rush into the house to ask him for money.
Suddenly, there was a deep voice outside.
“Xingran, it’s me!”
“Oh, Second, Second, Second Brother?”
A certain young man was so excited that his voice wobbled!
The little dog in his arms dropped onto the floor and ran toward the door.
When he confirmed that the person standing outside the door was indeed his second brother, little No. 5 Lu Xingran hugged him and started crying again. He was like a snot bug that couldn’t be torn off!
Chapter 80: Instant Betrayal
A certain second brother’s thick and black eyebrows knitted together tightly. He leaned away and looked very disdainful, but he didn’t push the boy away. After entering the house, he looked and asked at the same time, “What on earth happened? They were poisoned?”
“Oh, just…”
Lu Xingran was about to reply, but noticed that his place was a mess. He quickly let go of his second brother and flew around to clean up.
His second brother was the most obsessed with cleanliness. Looking at this dog house, he would die of anger!
But a certain second brother —
Had. Already. Seen. Everything.
Lu Jingfan’s eyebrows twitched, but he didn’t say anything. He just asked, “Have you eaten? Do you have any food at home?”
“Oh, oh…”
Little No. 5 hurried to reply.
“Woof! Woof, woof!”
The little dog nudged at the stack of instant noodle cups in one corner, instantly betraying him.
Lu Xingran, who was about to die of anxiety, warned secretly, “Little cutie!” Second Brother hated it when he ate junk food!
Hmph! “Woof, woof!”
The little dog wasn’t afraid of him at all. It even slapped its paws on the pile a few times. It was just short of saying that he was an instant noodle spirit who ate instant noodles all day! An instant noodle spirit!
Hey, how can you be like this?
Little No. 5 Lu Xingran felt that he had been betrayed. Then, the two guys who had been snuggling with each other just now started fighting.
One went “hmph, hmph, hmph”; one went “woof, woof, woof!”
When the fight reached the climax, a certain little brother turned around to explain, “Second Brother, I just…”
That glistening, puppy-like pitiful expression!
“Enough!”
A certain second brother had a headache. Lu Jingfan reluctantly placed his briefcase on the grimy-looking sofa and brought the groceries that he had just bought to the kitchen. At the same time, he turned around and warned, “Clean yourself and this place up right away. If I come out after cooking…”
“Oh, oh, I know. I’ll go and clean up right now!”
Before his second brother could finish speaking, little No. 5 very obediently picked up the puppy and went to clean up.
A certain second brother sighed helplessly and went to the kitchen to cook.
With his years of cooking for his brothers, three dishes and one soup were quickly served.
They were very common dishes: Mapo tofu, meat stir-fried with green peppers, tomato egg soup, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage. The room had already been tidied up, and No. 5 was drooling with hunger.
God only knew how long it had been since he had eaten. Those sparkling eyes made him look like a fawn that was about to cry.
A certain second brother shook his head helplessly again and considerately scooped a bowl of rice for him. He also handed him a pair of chopsticks. “Eat quickly.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Second Brother!”
Little No. 5 immediately took the chopsticks and started eating like crazy. It was as if he hadn’t eaten for several lifetimes!
It was so fragrant. Half his bowl of rice had already disappeared before he even started on the dishes.
He had only ever liked Second Brother’s cooking since he was young! His second brother’s cooking was the best!
When his father had tossed the five brothers into the wild forest back then, it was thanks to his second brother’s diligence in learning to cook that the five brothers were finally able to eat good food like normal people.
Before that, they really had been like cavemen, eating wild vegetables and sleeping in the wilderness!
Little No. 5 was extremely proud and satisfied. Very quickly, the bowl of rice was empty.
A certain second brother shook his head helplessly. He put a lot of food in No. 5’s bowl, and only spoke after No. 5 was done eating.
Chapter 81: Slapped In the Face
“I’ve contacted them, but No. 4 can’t come back yet. I’ve arranged it with Dad, and I’ll be treating Big Brother, No. 3, and that little sister to a meal at Minxiang Restaurant tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to come?”
“Huh?”
Little No. 5 was instantly stumped, before he hurriedly shook his head. “I’m not going, I’m not going!” He didn’t want to eat with that little sister!
Unless… she invited him herself!
No, even if she personally came to invite him, he wouldn’t go! That was right, he wouldn’t go! Hmph!
A little sister raised by that family definitely wasn’t anything good!
Little No. 5 was extremely arrogant. He refused!
“Alright, if you’re not going, I’ll go myself. Finish eating and clean up. I’m going to rest first.”
With that, a certain second brother didn’t say anything else. He got up and went to one of the rooms.
“Hey, hey!” Aren’t you going to try some more?
Little No. 5 felt very aggrieved, but his second brother ignored him completely and had already walked into a room.
Hmph! He wasn’t going! It was just one lousy meal; who cared!
However, when he saw his second brother go out the next day, Little No. 5 tidied up a little. He had a scarf wrapped around his head like his third brother. Holding the puppy in his arms, he quietly followed his second brother!
Of course, this was for later.
…
The next morning, Lu An returned home after some exercise. Using the fish soup from the night before, she put in some wontons and also added soft and tender meatballs wrapped in lettuce. They bobbed together cutely in a mix of red, green, and white, and the milk-colored broth exuded a rich aroma.
She deftly put together some small appetizers, and four glasses of nutritious fruit juice.
Very quickly, a delicious breakfast was ready.
The other three people in the house had long been drawn over.
Third Brother, Lu Qingzhou, hadn’t even done his hair, and had already ladled a bowl for himself; he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat after the two Kings of Hell arrived.
He could only blame his sister’s cooking skills. She could casually put together something world-class!
Today was also a day to brag about his little sister. Good luck~
Lu An couldn’t help smiling with a bright face. The four of them happily finished breakfast before going their separate ways.
No. 1, Lu Boran, drove out early in the morning. He didn’t have Fang Qiao with him today because he wanted to be alone with his little sister.
Fang Qiao had driven too fast yesterday, and Lu Boran hadn’t been able to speak much with his sister.
Today, he had to chat with his little sister a little more, no matter what. A little more!
However —
Before his little sister showed up, a certain curly-haired monster insisted on sneaking into the car!
Unable to take it anymore, the big devil king scolded with a dark face, “What are you doing? Who told you to come? Is your hospital alright?”
“I… Big Brother, you’ve never been so fierce with me. You’ve changed. Sob sob sob~”
A certain third brother put on a pitiful expression and pouted innocently. Coupled with his face, which was already prettier than a girl’s, he looked super soft and harmless.
He had been too embarrassed to reveal his true colors yesterday in front of his little sister.
But actually, this trick was very useful on Big Brother.
Don’t be fooled by Big Brother’s cold and fierce appearance. He had always indulged his younger brothers. He would only scare you a few times occasionally and definitely wouldn’t do anything for real! Absolutely not!
Third Brother Lu said it solemnly to himself. Pulling the car door open, he was about to get into Big Brother’s car, but —
“Scram! I never ride with someone who’s dirty!”
Scram! I never ride with someone who’s dirty~
