《Hold His Hand》


 CH 1

    8 in the morning, the sky was overcast.


    It has been winter in S City for several days now. It wasn¡¯t so cold until today, where the temperature dropped the lowest to below zero.


    When it rains, it pours. It was cloudy today with the north wind whistling by.


    On the street, the young man, who ran around wearing a sweater yesterday, was shivering, hugging his jacket tightly.


    Two traffic policemen turned into a street on their motorcycle and saw a car parked in a no parking lane by the side of the road. They immediately drove over.


    There was a man in his twenties in the car. A handsome young man with sword eyebrows and stars-like eyes was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat holding a bag of buns and a bag of soy milk. He stared blankly ahead, it wasn¡¯t known what he was thinking about.


    The traffic policeman sitting behind on the motorcycle knocked on the window with his leather-gloved hand. The young man in the car looked out the window as if suddenly awakened.


    He smiled apologetically at the traffic policemen. He put the buns and soy milk in his hands into the large pockets on his jacket, then fastened his seatbelt and started the car.


    The car slowly drove away, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s smile vanished. He was in a bad mood.


    He had just crossed over to become the ¡®Lu Yanzhou¡¯ who bought buns and soy milk for breakfast in this world, then he received the original owner¡¯s life memories in the car.


    He suddenly became a scum who deceived and embezzled public funds and even plotted and killed someone for their property1. As a party member, he was a little uncomfortable.


    The one who was killed was his best friend, this made it even more difficult for him to accept.


    Lu Yanzhou was born on a planet called earth. Because of his soul strength, he was selected by the World Management after his death to become one of them. Through unremitting efforts, he became one of the four management leaders, or in other words, one of the four main gods, codenamed White Tiger.


    World Management is responsible for managing the small worlds. They will send employees into those unstable small worlds to help stabilize the small world.


    He finds this job very rewarding. He has been working diligently, even when he becomes a main god, he still does the task.


    However, not long ago, one of the four management leaders, the main god codenamed ¡®Black Tortoise¡¯ rebelled.


    Black Tortoise held many small worlds hostage. He extracted those small worlds¡¯ energy to attack the World Management, trying to devour the remaining three ¡®main gods¡¯ to become the only god.


    Lu Yanzhou and the others want to protect the small world, so they fight against Black Tortoise, but they inevitably fall to a disadvantage. Just as Lu Yanzhou was about to sacrifice himself by blowing himself against Black Tortoise, Xie Chengze, another main god codenamed Azure Dragon, blew himself up first, inflicting heavy wounds on Black Tortoise.


    Black Tortoise operation failed, then he immediately wrapped Xie Chengze¡¯s broken soul after his self-destruction into those less stable small worlds where he had extracted their energies.


    Lu Yanzhou and Vermillion Bird want to rescue Xie Chengze and kill Black Tortoise but those little worlds are unstable, and outsiders can¡¯t enter. If one were to enter by force, the small world would collapse.


    The collapse of a small world will not only annihilate all the creatures in that world, even Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments will also dissipate. This is something they don¡¯t want to see.


    Lu Yanzhou was extremely anxious, but he suddenly discovered that the world where Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments went has left a ¡®hole¡¯ for people to enter.


    After Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragment entered the small world, he was still called Xie Chengze, and around Xie Chengze is a man named Lu Yanzhou. This person¡¯s appearance and soul aura are very similar to him.


    As long as Lu Yanzhou seals his strength, he can replace the Lu Yanzhou in that small world.


    As for his task, he has to take Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragment from the small world and also help the small world get away from Black Tortoise control.


    Lu Yanzhou drove while sorting out his memories. Sorting and sorting, he suddenly hit the brakes.


    This road is located in S City old city center. The road is relatively narrower with various small shops along the road. At this moment, a thin elder lady with a cane and a black hat suddenly stopped and leaned on the curb. She sat down slowly against a pillar at the entrance of a clothing store. Her hand was shaking, as if she was trying to take something out of her arms.


    Noticing that the old lady¡¯s face is very abnormal, Lu Yanzhou hurriedly got out of the car and ran over. He helped the old lady take out the medicine bottle from her arms, then pour out two pills and put it into the old lady¡¯s mouth.


    The old lady looked quite old with all her white hair exposed under her hat. She sat slumped along the wall, breathing rapidly.


    Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°Elder, I will take you to the hospital?¡±


    The old lady waved her hand: ¡°No, no need¡­Thank you, young man¡­¡±


    The old lady took the medicine and was in better condition. She shivered and took out an old phone to make a call.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou took out the hot soy milk that had been stuffed into the pocket of his down jacket and put it into the old lady¡¯s arms: ¡°You hold it to cover your hand.¡±


    ¡°Thank you¡­¡± The old lady smiled gratefully.


    Lu Yanzhou shook the old lady¡¯s wrist, making sure that the old lady was out of danger before relaxing. After the old lady made the call, she explained the situation to the person on the other end of the phone.


    After all this, he got up and walked to his car. As a result, when he looked up, he saw the big brother traffic policeman, who knocked on his window before, stopped beside his car again.


    However, big brother traffic policeman didn¡¯t give him a ticket. Instead, he gave him a thumbs up.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    The north wind made his face hurt but also made him completely awake.


    He has entered the small world with a new identity. He shouldn¡¯t think too much about it now, instead, he should save Xie Chengze as soon as possible.


    Lu Yanzhou got into the car. He restarted the car, then went to Xie¡¯s house.


    He¡¯s going to find Xie Chengze.


    This small world is similar to earth in the 21st century where he comes from, this is simply a parallel world.


    A piece of Xie Chengze¡¯s soul is in this world. His current identity is the eldest son of the Xie family.


    His body identity is the young master from madam Xie family.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s car soon entered an old villa area.


    He often comes here. The number of car is registered with the property so when he went in, there¡¯s no obstruction. He finally stopped in front of one of the villas.


    Since S City issued a policy not to build villas, the price of single-family villas in urban areas has been rising steadily. The Xie family lived in this four-story single family villa with a basement and a large garden. The price is already in the hundreds of millions.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s car just stop, a middle-aged man in his forties in a white shirt and black coat with a mustache on his upper lips came out of the house and said with a smile: ¡°Young master2, you are early today!¡±


    ¡°Hello, Uncle Wang.¡± Lu Yanzhou greeted the housekeeper.


    Housekeeper Wang opened the door and let Lu Yanzhou enter the house. As soon as Lu Yanzhou entered, he felt a wave of heat.


    The air conditioner in the villa is very warm. Lu Yanzhou took off his coat and hung it at the door, then asked the housekeeper: ¡°What about my aunt and the others?¡±


    ¡°Master went to the company. Madam took young master to participate in the holiday activities organized by young master¡¯s school.¡± Said the housekeeper.


    Lu Yanzhou nodded: ¡°I¡¯ll go see my elder cousin.¡±


    ¡°Young master, walk slowly.¡± Housekeeper Wang watched as Lu Yanzhou walked upstairs.


    Lu Yanzhou went up the stairs of the villa to the fourth floor.


    When Lu Yanzhou opened the stairs door, he saw a huge glass box placed on the fourth floor that was completely empty.


    Actually, it shouldn¡¯t be called a glass box but a sterile ward.


    The box covers an area of about 40 square feet. It was divided into three spaces, namely the bedroom, bathroom, and the largest is the living room. Around the box are other things, such as the disinfection room connected to the box, air purifiers, and others.


    In the glass box was a pale young man with shoulder length hair.


    He was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was very thin with delicate and cold facial features with a pair of almond eyes and long hair that was left uncare and disheveled¡­


    When he looked at people, he gave people an indescribable one of a kind innocence that made people pity.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou, his eyes suddenly shine brightly. He ran towards Lu Yanzhou and stopped by the glass wall. With a big smile, he said: ¡°Yanzhou, you come to see me!¡±


    ¡°Mm. I came to see you.¡± Seeing him, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart finally calmed down.


    This is Xie Chengze.


    After Xie Chengze blew himself up, his soul fragment was thrown into the small world by Black Tortoise.


    Black Tortoise did this to devour Xie Chengze¡¯s soul force.


    Because his soul is incomplete, Xie Chengze was destined to be born with a defect. He would also suffer many hardships afterward.


    That¡¯s not all, he will repeat his miserable life time and time again in these unstable small worlds until his soul force is completely exhausted.


    The day his soul can¡¯t bear it anymore, it will dissipate. Black Tortoise, who he did not know where he was hiding now, will get that pure soul energy easily.


    Naturally, with Xie Chengze¡¯s firm heart, even if it¡¯s only a soul fragment, he won¡¯t be easily knocked down. Lu Yanzhou believed that he would never dissipate without going through thousands upon thousands of reincarnation.


    However, thinking that Xie Chengze would live a miserable life over and over again, Lu Yanzhou still couldn¡¯t help feeling distressed.


    The original owner¡¯s memories he accepted included the original owner¡¯s life, so he also knows what will happen to Xie Chengze reincarnation in this world.


    It¡¯s very difficult for him to accept.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s parents in this world are rich second-generation, and they¡¯re married because of business.


    The two gave birth to Xie Chengze shortly after their marriage. After Xie Chengze was born, he was diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency, also known as SCID.


    People with this disorder are born with almost to no immune system. It¡¯s very easy for them to die from various infections. Most don¡¯t even survive to the age of two.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s family is rich so he received the best treatment and didn¡¯t die, but he still failed to develop his immune system.


    Virus, bacteria, and even fungus could kill him. He had to live in a sterile environment.


    From the sterile warehouse in the hospital to the sterile room specially built for him by the Xie family later¡­22 year old Xie Chengze has been living in a ¡®cage¡¯. He never had freedom.


    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body is Xie Chengze¡¯s stepmother¡¯s nephew. He almost can¡¯t be regarded as Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s biological mother died of cancer when he was 5 years old. Xie Chengze¡¯s father married the original owner¡¯s aunt Lu Qiqi a year later.


    Lu Qiqi had just graduated from university at that time. The Lu family is an ordinary family. She has nothing but her face so she was very flattering to Xie Chengze, the stepson. She also specially found the original owner, her nephew, to accompany Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze had no chance to contact outsiders so he treated the original owner as his best friend. However, the original owner accompanied him just to get pocket money from Lu Qiqi.


    Later when Lu Qiqi gave birth to a son, she thought she gained a firm foothold in the Xie family so she didn¡¯t take Xie Chengze seriously anymore. She doesn¡¯t want to spend money to ask the original owner to accompany Xie Chengze, so the original owner also no longer cares about Xie Chengze.


    When he was in junior high school, he used the excuse of being busy with his studies, so he only saw Xie Chengze once when he came to visit the Lu family during the new year and festivals. His 4 year college was in another place so he hadn¡¯t seen Xie Chengze for 4 years.


    However, after graduating from college, he entered Xie¡¯s company through Lu Qiqi, he started to run to Xie¡¯s house everyday like the past to deepen his feelings with Xie Chengze.


    The original owner accidentally learned that Xie Chengze¡¯s grandfather has only one child, Xie Chengze¡¯s mother.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mother and grandmother have long since passed away. A few years ago, Xie Chengze¡¯s grandfather also passed away¡­The old man left all his property to Xie Chengze after he died.


    Don¡¯t look at how Xie Chengze can only live in a sterile room, his worth is no less than his father¡¯s.


    He was young but already the largest shareholder of a listed company. He also owns shares in other companies, plus real estate funds, and others. Looking at these assets alone, he is a real domineering president.


    The original owner tried to please Xie Chengze. In the end, he ¡®changed jobs¡¯ and became Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant. He was responsible for managing the many assets under Xie Chengze¡¯s name.


    Things continue from here. Although the original owner is not a good person, he has not done anything very wrong.


    However, with more and more money in hand, the original owner was not satisfied with just the million yuan annual salary Xie Chengze gave to him.


    Not long ago, the original owner misappropriated 30 million from Xie Chengze.


    T/N:


    Bai Hu ¡ª> White Tiger


    Qing Long ¡ª> Azure Dragon


    Zhu Que ¡ª> Vermillion Bird


    Xuan Wu ¡ª> Black Tortoise


    muder for money


    The young master here is like talking about the wife family member young master. Can¡¯t think of a word for it.

 CH 2

    Thirty million were lying in his account. The original owner later did even more extreme things, this made Lu Yanzhou a little uncomfortable when facing Xie Chengze.


    This world is fragile, and the original owner¡¯s body is also very fragile. This forced him to seal off most of his power, including many of his memories.


    After he joined World Management, his memory of doing missions in those worlds is now very vague. Only the memory of his life on earth and all the memories related to Xie Chengze were clear.


    Xie Chengze is his best friend.


    Before becoming a main god, he was already friends with Xie Chengze.


    When they first met, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t get along well with others and was besieged by misunderstanding.


    He had a good relationship sso he helped Xie Chengze after meeting him. After that, the two worked hard together and became a main god at the same time.


    So, after becoming a main god, he was the closest to Xie Chengze.


    As a result, in this world¡­he turned out to be an ungrateful scum who murdered Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Yanzhou.¡± Xie Chengze called out again from the other side. He patted the plastic sheet in front of him.


    Xie Chengze lives in a sterile room made of glass, but one of the walls in this sterile room is made of a material that resembles a transparent plastic film. Of course, this ¡®plastic firm¡¯ is very thick and solid.


    This soft wall can bring Xie Chengze closer to the people outside.


    Lu Yanzhou heard Xie Chengze¡¯s cry near the plastic film. He put his hand on where Xie Chengze¡¯s hand is located, the two palms face each other through the plastic film.


    ¡°Yanzhou, Yanzhou!¡± Xie Chengze happily called Lu Yanzhou several times, pressing his hand hard, sticking tightly to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand. His whole body is also lying on the ¡®wall¡¯, making the whole wall protrude toward Lu Yanzhou. His face was also very close to Lu Yanzhou.


    Although there is a plastic film between them, this is the first time that Lu Yanzhou was so close to Xie Chengze¡¯s face. He subconsciously took a step back.


    The person in front of him is just a fragment of Xie Chengze¡¯s soul but he still looks exactly like Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze¡¯s beautiful face was less than 20 centimeters away from him, he subconsciously panicked.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t like physical contact so he never dared to get too close to Xie Chengze before.


    After Lu Yanzhou retreated, he saw a flash of loss in the eyes of the young man opposite him. Xie Chengze lowered his eyelids, slowly retreated: ¡°Sorry.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned ¡ª Why did Xie Chengze apologize?


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly thought about it. In the original owner¡¯s memory, the original owner interacted with Xie Chengze when Lu Qiqi gave him money when he was a child. Later on, he just sat beside Xie Chengze to talk.


    Not only that, except for the original owner, no one else in the family would interact with Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s father seems to be very concerned about Xie Chengze but he actually rarely goes upstairs to see him. Lu Qiqi, his stepmother, was trying to please Xie Chengze at the beginning but later on when she had a son, she threw Xie Chengze aside.


    What about the servants at home? They were all found by Lu Qiqi. They won¡¯t neglect Xie Chengze but they also don¡¯t care.


    Day after day, year after year, Xie Chengze has been alone in his glass cage.


    Attached to the plastic sheet is a pair of rubber gloves that can be turned inside out. People outside can put their hands into the rubber gloves to hug Xie Chengze, who was in the sterile room, through the transparent plastic film. Xie Chengze can also put his hand into the glove from the inside to hug people on the outside.


    However, the original owner had never seen anyone hug Xie Chengze, who was behind the plastic film, or being hugged by Xie Chengze.


    Even the original owner himself. He had only played with Xie Chengze through the gloves when he was a child.


    Even though Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have the huge memories from his previous missions, he also knows that a child shouldn¡¯t be raised like this.


    Looking at Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance¡­he craved interaction, even through the plastic film.


    This kid is really pitiful.


    Xie Chengze, who was in front of him now, was already 22 years old. He is not young, however, for Lu Yanzhou, who has lived for an unknown number of years, 22 years old¡­is totally a child.


    Lu Yanzhou felt a deep sense of pity in his heart.


    He reached into the rubber gloves attached to the plastic film and patted the lost Xie Chengze¡¯s shoulder, giving him an elderly hug.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face was full of surprises. He leaned on Lu Yanzhou, looking at Lu Yanzhou with wide eyes. The corners of his mouth curl slightly into a smile.


    This is an expression that Xie Chengze would never have made before.


    Xie Chengze in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s memory said he cultivated the ruthless dao, so there¡¯s always a cold aura around him, with a look as if telling people to stay away a thousand miles from him.


    He was afraid that Xie Chengze would be too lonely so he would go to talk to Xie Chengze occasionally. Xie Chengze¡¯s action is also very indifferent. He was afraid that if he went too much, Xie Chengze might find him annoying.


    He actually hugged Xie Chengze now, and Xie Chengze also leaned on him. He doesn¡¯t know will Xie Chengze feel embarrassed when he recovers his memories and thought about this scene?


    Lu Yanzhou just thought of this when he felt Xie Chengze rubbing his chin with his head, like a kitten eager to be comforted ¡ª in order to hug Xie Chengze, he stuck to the plastic film tightly, making it convenient for Xie Chengze to rub against him.


    After Xie Chengze did it, his body froze. He apologized uneasily: ¡°Sorry.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say sorry. If you apologize to me like this, since I also hugged you, should I apologize too?¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze raised his gaze, he stared blankly at Lu Yanzhou.


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t really feel like he had hugged Xie Chengze because of the thick rubber gloves.


    He reached out and patted Xie Chengze¡¯s back, then he put the other hand around Xie Chengze¡¯s shoulder.


    This is a good brother hug. As a result, Xie Chengze plunged into his arms again, sticking close to him and won¡¯t move.


    This child, does he crave skin interaction?


    Lu Yanzhou recalled, then he really found something about it from the original owner¡¯s memory.


    When the original owner came to play with Xie Chengze when he was little, Xie Chengze would always hold the original owner¡¯s hand that he put into the rubber glove.


    Xie Chengze likes to touch others, however, he grew up never really touching anyone.


    He can only get close to other people through the plastic film or rubber gloves.


    Lu Yanzhou felt his heart ache.


    Xie Chengze is very simple. He also attached great importance to the original owner and really like the original owner, he treated the original owner as his best friend.


    As a result¡­the original owner actually killed Xie Chengze. He is simply not human!


    If Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t crossed over, after the original owner secretly transferred 30 million from Xie Chengze, he would keep doing it. One after another, he transferred more and more money from Xie Chengze.


    At that time, An Chenyuan, a junior whom the original owner met when he was in college, joined Xie Chengze¡¯s company.


    The original owner likes men, so he once again actively pursued An Chenyuan¡­An Chenyuan fell in love with the original owner.


    After falling in love, An Chenyuan learned that the original owner had embezzled public funds and became worried. He encouraged the original owner to test Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze, who was locked in the sterile ward, didn¡¯t know anything, so when the original owner tested him, there¡¯s nothing. However, because the amount of money he took away was too large, someone else noticed it.


    An Chenyuan was even more afraid. He was worried inside out that the original owner would be imprisoned for the rest of his life. He then mentioned that if something happened to Xie Chengze, no one will pursue this¡­The original owner also had the thought of killing Xie Chengze, and it¡¯s also very simple.


    Xie Chengze is too fragile, even a breath of fresh air may cost him his life due to infection.


    The original owner initially wanted to destroy Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room, but he didn¡¯t dare to walk in front of Xie Chengze so he used another method.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room needs electricity. Huge amount of electricity is required to keep his sterile room running to provide him with clean air.


    The original owner unplugged the sterile room power supply. Xie Chengze died just like that.


    Fortunately, the original owner also did not end well either. After Xie Chengze died, the police immediately found evidence of him murdering Xie Chengze and he soon went to prison.


    Xie Chengze is the largest shareholder of a listed company. The original owner not only embezzled hundreds of millions but even killed Xie Chengze, this is a huge matter.


    Probably because of this, a righteous hacker released a surveillance video online. It turns out that after Xie Chengze suffered a power outage in the sterile room, he also used his mobile phone to ask his father for help. As a result, his father hung up the phone.


    This matter involved father Xie. Then someone discovered that the original owner¡¯s boyfriend, An Chenyuan, is father Xie¡¯s illegitimate son.


    The original owner learned about this from a lawyer, then he immediately bit. He said that An Chenyuan and father Xie instructed him to kill Xie Chengze. In the end, father Xie and An Chenyuan also went to prison.


    The Xie family¡¯s company has already had problems, and now with no father Xie, it naturally closed down due to poor management.


    As for Xie Chengze¡¯s property that father Xie and An Chenyuan wanted¡­It was discovered later on that Xie Chengze had actually written a will to donate all his property.


    In the end, no one got it good. However, the one who got the worst is undoubtedly Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze in his arms.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s life isn¡¯t very good.


    After the power outage in the sterile room, Xie Chengze can still survive for a while. During that time¡­¡­What was he thinking about?


    Lu Yanzhou felt really uncomfortable. He patted Xie Chengze¡¯s back again.


    He needs to earn enough merit as soon as possible.


    If he wants to save Xie Chengze, he needs merits ¡ª Whether it is Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragment or this small world, they all need merits to recover.


    When Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments were nourished enough from it, he can build his immunity.


    After that, he can deepen his relationship with Xie Chengze so when Xie Chengze passes away, he can leave this small world with Xie Chenge¡¯s soul fragment.


    After Lu Yanzhou joined World Management, he has been doing various tasks to stabilize those small worlds. With these tasks, he can get merit.


    Some people are not very interested in merit, but he was very interested in merit. Beside doing the task earnestly, there¡¯s also other ways to accumulate merit.


    It¡¯s because he has accumulated a lot of merit that he can become one of the four main gods in World Management.


    However, in order to enter the small world, his merit is sealed with his power. Therefore, the merit that will nourish Xie Chenge¡¯s soul must be from this world.


    He also needs enough merit to stabilize this small world to take this small world away from Black Tortoise.


    This morning he helped the old lady just to earn merit.


    Lu Yanzhou thought of the 30 million that the original owner had misappropriated from Xie Chengze¡­It seems that the money cannot be returned to Xie Chengze for the time being.


    The original owner just got the 30 millions so he didn¡¯t do anything yet. Following this world¡¯s original route, the original owner will observe for a period of time. After making sure that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t find out what he did, he used the money to buy a large flat.


    After that, the original took money from Xie Chengze several times to buy luxury goods and squeezed into the so-called upper society.


    He is not the original owner, he doesn¡¯t need to buy a house. He is also not interested in those luxury goods either. He can use this money to help others to earn merit.

 CH 3

    Lu Yanzhou thought a lot, but he never let go of Xie Chengze during that time, and Xie Chengze too also didn¡¯t let him go.


    When he lowered his head, he could see Xie Chengze lying motionless in his arms.


    Xie Chengze grew up in a sterile environment. He wasn¡¯t exposed to the sun all year round, and he only eats nutritious meals prepared by a doctor¡­His skin is very pale and flawless. He looks a few years younger than his actual age.


    If said that he was only 17 or 18 years old, others might believe it.


    Xie Chengze, who lives in a glass cage and hardly has contact with outsiders, is probably quite young in mental age.


    Lu Yanzhou was still a bit confused about the person in front of him and that cold friend in his memory, but now he can completely distinguish them.


    This is Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragment. He can think of him as¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s child?


    Lu Yanzhou lovingly touched Xie Chengze¡¯s head, somewhat distressed.


    The original owner befriends Xie Chengze, it¡¯s all about money from beginning to end. It was fine as a child, but he never came near this wall after he grew up. Everytime he comes, he will stand far away and just say a few words to Xie Chengze.


    His so-called report to Xie Chengze is all just to fool Xie Chengze. He actually didn¡¯t tell Xie Chengze anything.


    However, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know anything.


    Lu Yanzhou recalled, he remembered when Xie Chengze was little, the Xie family invited a tutor to teach Xie Chengze through the plastic film. However, after Xie Chengze¡¯s grandfather got worse and he went abroad to recuperate, the original owner¡¯s aunt stopped the tutor.


    Xie Chengze never went to school. He has no friends or a normal social life¡­


    The more Lu Yanhou thought, the more he felt that the child was miserable. He also noticed that this kid is very thin.


    ¡°Aze, have you eaten anything today?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    He always wanted to call Xie Chengze a more intimate name but he was afraid that Xie Chengze would be unhappy, so he had only called ¡®brother Xie¡¯¡­Now he can call ¡®Aze¡±.


    Xie Chengze blinked, then shook his head.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Then go get something to eat.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat.¡± Xie Chengze spoke softly.


    ¡°Starving is not good for your body. Be good, go eat something.¡± Lu Yanzhou coaxed.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, his eyes misty: ¡°Are you leaving?¡±


    Xie Chengze is afraid that he will leave? Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I won¡¯t leave. I will be here with you.¡±


    Xie Chengze was surprised but happy.


    Lu Yanzhou urged him: ¡°Go get something to eat.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hold Xie Chengze tightly, it¡¯s just that Xie Chengze stuck close to him.


    Now, Xie Chengze reluctantly moved away from him. He quickly ran to the living room table, took a bag of paste, then ran back to Lu Yanzhou to be with him.


    He leaned against Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body, then skillfully opened the paste in his hand and started to eat.


    Lu Yanzhou frowned upon seeing this.


    Although Xie Chengze lives in a sterile room, people outside can still give him something as long as it goes through that long disinfection pipeline, where it was repeatedly disinfected.


    That is how Xie Chengze¡¯s food is delivered. The doctor, who is responsible for taking care of him, will send this nutrition paste once a month.


    This thing¡­just looking makes Lu Yanzhou feel no appetite.


    Other children are picky eaters who won¡¯t eat this or that, what about Xie Chengze? He was forced to eat such paste every day.


    In fact, Xie Chengze can eat other foods. He can eat those packaged sterile foods after it was sent in through the disinfection pipe. Unfortunately no one even thought to give it to him.


    Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°Aze, do you have other things to eat?¡±


    Xie Chengze raised his gaze, staring blankly at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°no¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt like his chest was punched, feeling stuffy.


    Have Xie Chengze¡­never eaten anything else?


    He said: ¡°I¡¯ll give you some food to try tomorrow. If you like it, I will buy it for you again.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou hopefully. ¡°Will you come to see me tomorrow?¡±


    After the original owner became Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant, he no longer came to see Xie Chengze everyday¡­Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I will come again tomorrow.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s brows lift with a small smile.


    Lu Yanzhou said again: ¡°Right, Aze, I have something to tell you¡­¡±


    ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I manage your money for you? I used some¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know how to say it.


    The original owner¡¯s behavior¡­is stealing money!


    If the original owner didn¡¯t do this, he could borrow Xie Chengze¡¯s money, but the original owner did so¡­


    ¡°If you need it, use it.¡± Xie Chengze showed a sweet smile to Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°I took a little too much¡­¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter!¡± Xie Chengze said again.


    Lu Yanzhou was a little helpless.


    It¡¯s probably because Xie Chengze has too little contact with people and things, and because he had never spent money, so he had no concept of money at all.


    It was such a person who let someone, who studied history in university, manage his billions of assets.


    That¡¯s right, the original owner majored in history.


    Although the original owner avoided seeing Xie Chengze with the pretext of studying during his junior and senior year in high school, in fact, he never studied hard.


    However, he¡¯s smart. In the end, he stepped on the score line and was admitted to the newly opened history department in a science and engineering university.


    Those 4 years of college, he mixed in the history department but learned nothing. So when Lu Qiqi uses her relationship to get him to join Xie corporate, he can only be an ordinary logistics clerk.


    Xie Chengze actually entrusted him with all his assets¡­this kid is too innocent.


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s assets are mostly shares, so the original owner couldn¡¯t take it but the original owner can take the dividend. The 30 million is from the dividend given by the company in which Xie Chengze holds some shares.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Aze, didn¡¯t uncle find a tutor for you before? How far is your study?¡±


    Xie Chengze looked a little proud with his eyes brightened: ¡°I have learned to fourth grade!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was silent for a moment, then immediately said: ¡°Aze, I¡¯ll bring you some books tomorrow to continue what after¡­do you want to learn?¡±


    Xie Chengze nodded again and again: ¡°Yes!¡±


    At first Lu Yanzhou was thinking how to convince Xie Chengze if he didn¡¯t want to study. As a result, Xie Chengze opened his mouth and he agreed.


    Thinking about it, Xie Chengze usually doesn¡¯t see people, so he must like to be with people. Of course, he would love to learn.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Xie Chengze nodded again and again, leaning against Lu Yanzhou, almost pushing Lu Yanzhou out.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Shall we sit down?¡± It¡¯s tiring to stand like this.


    Xie Chengze took the initiative to sit down. Lu Yanzhou sat beside him, asking him about things in his life.


    This sterile ward was remodeled at a high cost a few years ago, it doesn¡¯t lack anything.


    Xie Chengze also has electronic products such as computers and mobile phones.


    However, Xie Chengze is not interested in those electronic products. It seems like he won¡¯t ever be interested in it. On the contrary, whenever the original owner came over, he looked very happy. After the original owner became his assistant, if he couldn¡¯t see the original owner for a few days, he would call the original owner to come over.


    The two sat and chatted for a long time. Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the door ¡ª someone was coming up the stairs.


    Lu Yanzhou got up quickly, staying away from Xie Chengze.


    According to the original owner¡¯s memory he obtained, no one in the Xie family takes Xie Chengze seriously. If he is too close to Xie Chengze, it might cause trouble for Xie Chengze.


    In the original trajectory, the original owner plan of murdering Xie Chengze had a lot to do with the uninterrupted hints from father Xie¡¯s illegitimate son An Chenyuan. Father Xie also turned a blind eye to Xie Chengze¡¯s plea for help when he was facing death¡­


    As for the original owner¡¯s aunt Lu Qiqi, her feelings towards her stepson, Xie Chengze, can only be called disgust.


    After Lu Yanzhou moved away, he turned to look at Xie Chengze as soon as possible. He saw Xie Chengze looked up at him with a sense of loss.


    He gives Xie Chengze a reassuring smile, then turns to look at the door.


    The door opened, the neatly dressed housekeeper walked in with a bit of contempt in his eyes: ¡°Young master, the kitchen is preparing lunch¡­Would you like to stay here for lunch?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°No. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Lu Yanzhou is not a sensitive person but he could feel that the housekeeper doesn¡¯t want him to stay for lunch.


    What¡¯s more, he has already met Xie Chengze. There¡¯s still a lot for him to do¡­Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze, who was sitting by the wall: ¡°Aze, I¡¯ll see you again tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Um.¡± Xie Chengze raised his head, giving Lu Yanzhou a small smile, then lowered his head again. He tugged his trouser leg, feeling loss.


    This child is too pitiful. He must take him away from Xie¡¯s house as soon as possible. However, he doesn¡¯t have enough merit to nourish Xie Chengze¡¯s soul now.


    Lu Yanzhou sighs secretly, then turns away.


    He took his coat at the door of Xie¡¯s house, then went to start his car and drove away slowly to his house.


    The original owner¡¯s family was ordinary. They don¡¯t have money but their success lies in Lu Qiqi, who married into a wealthy family.


    Although Lu Qiqi didn¡¯t give money to her family, she did arrange work for her family.


    The original owner¡¯s father is now the leader of the security guard at Xie Corporation¡¯s headquarters. The original owner¡¯s mother also worked in Xie Corporation¡¯s cafeteria. Their wages are not low.


    7 or 8 years ago, they bought a house in S city with a loan.


    This house is quite big and the location is also good, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s a bit old with a staircase along the street in the old town.


    The old buildings are not soundproof, so the voices from upstairs and from the street could almost be heard anywhere. The parking downstairs is also not good¡­The original owner was very dissatisfied with the house.


    Lu Yanzhou searched for a while before finding a spot to park the car, then went upstairs.


    It¡¯s cold outside, and also cold inside. His house is not warm.


    Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath. He took out the buns he bought for breakfast in the morning from his coat pocket. He didn¡¯t eat it but heated it up in the microwave before eating it bit by bit.


    He was hungry all morning but he was not in the mood to eat.


    After eating, Lu Yanzhou returned to his bedroom and rummaged through the boxes and found a notebook, then he started to write down his plans.


    He sealed most of his power and memories, however, his ability is still better than normal people.


    That 30 million must be spent on where it is needed the most. The rest of Xie Chengze¡¯s assets also need to be carefully managed. Anyway, he can¡¯t just invest Xie Chengze¡¯s funds like the original owners where he kept losing money.


    Lu Yanzhou finished the plan, then as if thinking of something, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze can communicate with the outside world. After inheriting his grandfather¡¯s property, he even has his own team.


    It¡¯s just that those people all have different thoughts. Most of them don¡¯t even take Xie Chengze seriously.


    A leader who can¡¯t even leave the sterile room, how can he control his subordinates? Xie Chengze has never received relevant education.


    Lu Yanzhou just sent a message, then quickly received a reply from Xie Chengze.


    While chatting with Xie Chengze on his mobile phone, he walk out the door.


    Although his house has many shortcomings, the supporting facilities are also good. There¡¯s no shortage of elementary and junior high schools around. There¡¯s also a bookstore not far downstairs.


    Lu Yanhou walked into the bookstore, then started scavenging the books in the bookstore.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t finish elementary school, he needed to make up for studying!


    At the same time, on the fourth floor of Xie¡¯s house.


    The cute and innocent Xie Chengze in front of Lu Yanzhou was sitting on the sofa in his living room playing with his phone.


    However, the look on his face was completely different from when he was in front of Lu Yanzhou.


    His expression is cold, his eyes are also cold, there¡¯s dead silence in those beautiful almond eyes: ¡°After taking the money¡­you¡¯re more obedient.¡±

 CH 4

    There are four members in the Xie family, namely Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze¡¯s father Xie Yuan, Xie Chengze¡¯s stepmother Lu Qiqi, and Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother Xie Chengyun.


    Xie Yuan is the chairman and CEO of Xie Corporation. He goes out to work on time at 8 o¡¯clock every day. If the company does not have a large event that requires him to attend, he will be home at 5:30 pm.


    Xie Chengyun is 14 years old this year. He was enrolled in a private junior high school. Except for holidays, he goes to school at 7 o¡¯clock every day. He will be back from after school about 8 o¡¯clock in the evening.


    Lu Qiqi didn¡¯t work. She met Xie Yuan when she was an intern in her senior year. As soon as she graduated, she married into the Xie family. After that, she began to live as a madam with food and clothing.


    The next day is Monday, Lu Yanzhou came to Xie¡¯s house at 9 o¡¯clock in the morning. Lu Qiqi is there today.


    Lu Qiqi is nearly 40 years old but she was very well maintained. She looked at most 30 years old, not only that, she was also beautiful. She is a big beauty that doesn¡¯t lose to celebrities.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou entered the door, he saw the big beauty watching a drama while eating breakfast.


    ¡°Little aunt.¡± Lu Yanzhou called out.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhouzhou¡­¡± Lu Qiqi glanced at Lu Yanzhou, then continued watching her double-speed TV series, bursting out ¡®pfft¡¯ laughing.


    ¡°Little aunt, I will go to the 4th floor.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Go, go.¡± Lu Qiqi waved her hands indifferently.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou carried his bulging laptop bag upstairs.


    He bought some books, exam papers, stationery, and also a few canned foods yesterday.


    He specially asked Xie Chengze¡¯s doctor about it. According to the doctor, Xie Chengze can eat canned food that has been sterilized. The doctor also recommended several products to him.


    Lu Yanzhou bought it all.


    Of course, before giving these things to Xie Chengze, it must be disinfected.


    Lu Yanzhou had just entered the 4th floor when he met Xie Chengze¡¯s bright eyes.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°Are you waiting for me?¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face stuck on the plastic film, his features were squashed. He answered with a nod, making his small nose go up and down, looking like a pig¡¯s nose.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart is about to melt.


    How cute is this kid!


    ¡°You came.¡± Xie Chengze said in a low voice.


    ¡°Wait a minute. I bought you something,¡± Lu Yanzhou came to the disinfection pipeline and put the canned foods and two test papers in his hand into it, then started the sterilizing program, ¡°I also brought a book, but the book is very thick. I don¡¯t know if it can be completely sterilized so I won¡¯t give it to you¡­Now you can also find learning resources on the tablet. I remember you had a tablet, right?¡±


    Xie Chengze continued to lie on the plastic film and nodded: ¡°I have.¡±


    ¡°You have a tablet, then we can use the tablet to study.¡± Lu Yanzhou finished putting those things in, then sat down near Xie Chengze. He took out a 5th grade literature and language textbook from his laptop bag. He then said to Xie Chengze: ¡°Bring your tablet here, I¡¯ll teach you how to download apps. I checked yesterday, there are a full set of textbooks on several apps. Literature, language, and English are all there to study.¡±


    After he nourishes Xie Chengze¡¯s soul, he will wait until Xie Chengze dies to take Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragment away.


    Xie Chengze is going to live in this world all his life, there¡¯s no harm in learning more, lest he understand nothing and was deceived by people like the original owner in the future.


    Xie Chengze obediently brought his tablet over.


    There are only a few built-in apps on the tablet. Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou first teaches him to download a few learning apps, then teaches him to download a few one player games.


    Xie Chengze is too pure. If he plays those multiplayers games, he might be deceived by others.


    ¡°If you are bored later, you can play these games. Of course we have to study first.¡± Lu Yanzhou explained it clearly, then said, ¡°The test paper I gave you has been disinfected, do you want to do it first?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou gave Xie Chengze two test papers. It was a 4th grader mathematics, literature and language final exam paper.


    He planned to see Xie Chengze¡¯s study level first.


    Though even if Xie Chengze¡¯s knowledge wasn¡¯t as solid, he can also continue studying from 5th grade. After all, elementary school knowledge is not that complicated.


    Xie Chengze brought back the test paper, looking at Lu Yanzhou reluctantly: ¡°I don¡¯t want to do it¡­¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Be good, do it.¡±


    Xie Chengze still looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly thought of something: ¡°Do you want to lean on me?¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Xie Chengze immediately agreed. He moved the small plastic coffee table in his living room to the wall. Leaning against Lu Yanzhou, he started the test paper.


    Xie Chengze did it very seriously, it¡¯s just, his writing looks like dog crawling characters. Xie Chengze writes for a while, then looks at Lu Yanzhou, looking like he wants to be praised.


    His Aze is so obedient, he¡¯ll praise him for sure! Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Aze, you write so well!¡±


    ¡°Aze, you¡¯re so smart.¡±


    ¡°Aze, you can answer the questions quickly!¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze is obviously enjoying it. This made Lu Yanzhou unable to hold back, his hand went into the rubber gloves and he touched his head.


    In the original owner¡¯s memories, although Xie Chengze liked the original owner a lot, he wasn¡¯t as intimate with the original owner. Now Xie Chengze is so dependent on him, is it because he was kind to Xie Chengze yesterday?


    Just a little bit of kindness can make this kid so happy?


    Lu Yanzhou felt very distressed. After waiting for Xie Chengze to finish the test paper, he started to grade Xie Chengze¡¯s paper according to the answer.


    His math is fine. Although Xie Chengze made a few mistakes, it¡¯s mainly because he¡¯s not used to the way the question was written. However, his literature and language test papers were all wrong.


    Of course, these questions are really difficult. For example, what is the radical1 of ¡®ÄÜ¡¯ and so on¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know either.


    As for the reading comprehension, Xie Chengze¡¯s words were a mess. Many words either lack an arms or legs.


    Lu Yanzhou checked the answer while leaning on the plastic film against Xie Chengze: ¡°Aze, you are great. You finished a lot!¡±


    Xie Chengze showed a shy look with a somewhat embarrassed smile.


    After completing the exam paper, Lu Yanzhou took out the 5th grade literature and language textbook. He started to read the book to Xie Chengze, then let Xie Chengze read.


    When Xie Chengze was doing the test paper, he found out that Xie Chengze¡¯s writing strokes are all wrong. He recognizes many words but he can¡¯t write them.


    It is clear that the teacher who taught him wasn¡¯t very attentive.


    Fortunately, today¡¯s apps are very easy to use. After paying, it can not only read the text but they can also see the stroke order of the character and what those characters can form.


    Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to read the first page several times, teaching him how to read and then making him copy some new words and phrases. Finally, he said: ¡°Come here. Turn off your tablet and take out a piece of paper. I¡¯ll give you a dictation.¡±


    Xie Chengze obeyed obediently.


    Lu Yanzhou picked some words for Xie Chengze to write. Xie Chengze did everything right this time, it¡¯s just that the words don¡¯t look too good.


    ¡°My Aze is so smart!¡± Lu Yanzhou praised again.


    Xie Chengze is already an adult. Adults going back to learn elementary school content is normal to learn faster than a child, but he still thinks that Xie Chengze is great.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Then¡­¡­brother Yanzhou, hug me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou immediately agreed. Holding him in his arms, he asks again: ¡°Aze, do you have anything you like? Like drawing, piano, or something?¡±


    The original owner was very interested in learning martial arts when he was in junior high school, he specialized in taekwondo. In addition, he also studied watercolor painting for a year, then two years of guitar, and three years of hard brush calligraphy¡­all these, he gave up halfway.


    The original owner¡¯s ultimate hobby¡­should be playing games.


    He doesn¡¯t know if there¡¯s anything Xie Chengze likes.


    Xie Chengze did not hesitate: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, what do you like? I like that too.¡±


    ¡°Hobbies are what you like.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing for me to like.¡± Xie Chengze blinked.


    ¡°That¡¯s okay. After your health is better, you can try a few. You will always find something you like.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze lowered his head and stopped talking.


    Lu Yanzhou knew why he was like this.


    There are several methods to cure this disease Xie Chengze got. Common ones are gene therapy and bone marrow transplantation.


    Xie Chengze had received gene therapy when he was little but it didn¡¯t work. As for bone marrow transplants¡­they have never been able to find a matching bone marrow.


    This is because his injury is actually on his soul¡­Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze¡¯s head in his arms.


    Xie Chengze rubbed against Lu Yanzhou¡¯s chest, obediently staying there.


    However, the familiar footsteps sounded again¡­Lu Yanzhou let go of Xie Chengze and looked towards the door.


    The door to the stairway opened. It was still housekeeper Wang who came, however, maybe it was because Lu Qiqi is at home, his attitude is particularly good today: ¡°Young master, it¡¯s lunch time, madam asked me to call you down for dinner.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lu Yanzhou nodded, then said to Xie Chengze, ¡°Aze, I¡¯m going to eat. See you later.¡±


    ¡°Um.¡± Xie Chengze nodded with a smile.


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou go downstairs.


    As Lu Yanzhou¡¯s figure slowly disappeared, Xie Chengze¡¯s smile and obedient expression also disappeared completely.


    He sat there quietly like a good statue.


    Housekeeper Wang bowed. With his head down, he slowly exits. He didn¡¯t dare to look at Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze suddenly stopped him: ¡°Wait.¡±


    Housekeeper Wang trembled.


    Xie Chengze continues: ¡°I told you to be nice to him but don¡¯t make it too obvious so as not to make him suspicious.¡±


    ¡°Yes, young master.¡± Housekeeper Wang replied respectfully.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t care about housekeeper Wang anymore. He got up and left the living room, going to his bedroom surrounded by curtains.


    His bedroom is small but there¡¯s more than a computer inside. He tapped twice on one of the laptops. The living room downstairs appears on his laptop screen.


    Lu Yanzhou has already gone downstairs. He was having dinner with Lu Qiqi.


    Xie Chengze put on headphones and turned up the volume, watching silently.


    He used to like Lu Yanzhou a lot. He was happy to see this man but he doesn¡¯t really care about him.


    At that time, he would miss Lu Yanzhou if he didn¡¯t see him but when he saw him, he would find him a little annoying.


    However, that feeling disappeared yesterday.


    After he saw Lu Yanzhou yesterday, he doesn¡¯t know why, he likes this person from the bottom of his heart.


    This is not the kind of simple likes where he sees something and he just likes it, but rather it¡¯s the kind of likes that he wants this person to never leave him.


    He wanted to touch Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze stretched out a finger and poked Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face on the screen.


    These two days Lu Yanzhou had performed very well, he is very satisfied.


    He suddenly felt¡­it¡¯s interesting to live.


    It¡¯s just¡­¡­4th grade literature and language test paper, why did he get it wrong? This is unscientific!


    Xie Chengze frowned. Suddenly, the computer next to him flicked. A long string of characters is displayed.


    He glances at it casually, then doesn¡¯t care about it. He continues to watch the surveillance in the living room downstairs.


    the key(and phonetic) by which the character is arranged in the chinese dictionary

 CH 5

    When Lu Yanzhou came downstairs, he saw seven or eight dishes on the table.


    There are many kinds of dishes but it¡¯s very bland. In order to maintain her figure and beauty, Lu Qiqi never eats messy food.


    Lu Qiqi has already started eating. She took a piece of eel and stuffed it into her mouth. Frowning, she asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Why did you stay upstairs for so long today?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m working for him after all.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Work? What can you do?¡± Lu Qiqi pouted in disdain.


    The original owner didn¡¯t like his little aunt Lu Qiqi much. He always felt that Lu Qiqi looked down on him, but Lu Yanzhou adapted well.


    Someone like the original owner¡­it¡¯s normal for Lu Qiqi to look down on him.


    Lu Qiqi added: ¡°Xie Chengze is just an idiot that doesn¡¯t understand anything. He just gave you a million annual salary.¡±


    ¡°So I have to coax him more.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled. He will come every day from now on, he can only use ¡®I want to ask Xie Chengze for money¡¯ as an excuse.


    Lu Qiqi raised her brows: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you can coax a little money from him but you better not think more about it. His property belongs to Chengyun.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Such familiar words, this is not the first time Lu Qiqi has said it.


    Lu Qiqi felt that Xie Chengze wasn¡¯t healthy enough to live long and he can¡¯t get married, with that being the case, in the future when he dies, his property will belong to Xie Chengyun.


    That natural attitude made Lu Yanzhou unhappy, however, compared to Xie Yuan, who watched his son die, Lu Qiqi is still pretty good.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to continue this topic, so he just buried his head to eat.


    Although in the original trajectory, Xie Chengze died at the hands of the original owner, if one were to analyze it carefully, it¡¯s not only the original owner who wants Xie Chengze to die.


    Until Xie Chengze¡¯s body recovers, he needs to be cautious.


    Lu Qiqi is still complaining: ¡°The one on the fourth floor is really a sin, so many devices are on all day, I don¡¯t know how much the photoelectric bill will cost in a month. His monthly treatment fee is also hundreds of thousands¡­¡±


    Lu Qiqi is not short of money, and Xie Chengze also spends his own money for his treatment. Lu Qiqi just doesn¡¯t like Xie Chengze.


    A sick seedling has more money than her, she just doesn¡¯t know how much!


    Lu Yanzhou finished his meal in two bites and said, ¡°Little aunt, I¡¯m going to the fourth floor.¡±


    ¡°You still want to go?¡± Lu Qiqi was a little unhappy.


    ¡°Mm, Xie Chengze asked me to accompany him more.¡±


    ¡°He asked you to accompany him?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou found a reason: ¡°Little aunt, he gives me money.¡±


    ¡°The salary he offered you is not enough for you to spend?¡±


    ¡°I want to buy a house.¡±


    As soon as the excuse of buying a house came out of Lu Yanzhou, Lu Qiqi turned quiet and didn¡¯t stop Lu Yanzhou.


    The housing prices in S City are quite high. Although the Lu family has an ¡®old dilapidated¡¯ house, it is really uncomfortable to live in that house. It is normal for Lu Yanzhou to want to buy a house.


    Although his annual salary is one million, he will only get seventy thousand after paying tax. If he wants to buy a better house, he naturally has to dig from Xie Chengze, right?


    Lu Qiqi was not happy that the money that should belong to her son was taken away by Lu Yanzhou. However, thinking of how Lu Yanzhou digs money from Xie Chengze, he can only dig a little bit. In the future, the shares Xie Chengze held will belong to Xie Chengyun. What the eye doesn¡¯t see, the heart doesn¡¯t grieve over.


    Lu Yanzhou went upstairs again, and saw that Xie Chengze was still sitting in his original position, looking at the door.


    Had he been waiting for him?


    ¡°You¡¯ve been sitting here?¡± Lu Yanzhou hurried up.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze showed a well-behaved smile.


    ¡°Did you have lunch?¡±


    Xie Chengze shook his head. He put his hand into the rubber gloves, wanting to touch Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that he wanted to be next to him, so he sat down beside Xie Chengze, and said, ¡°You have to eat on time, so that your health will be better.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze nodded obediently, staring at Lu Yanzhou without moving.


    Lu Yanzhou put his hand into the rubber gloves and touched Xie Chengze¡¯s head: ¡°be good, go get something to eat, don¡¯t starve yourself. You can also taste the canned food I brought you today.¡±


    Xie Chengze ran over quickly and brought back a bag of nutritious food he often eats, as well as the canned food that Lu Yanzhou brought him today.


    And then¡­he couldn¡¯t open the can.


    Xie Chengze competed with the canned food for a while, but he still couldn¡¯t do anything about the canned food in his hand.


    Lu Yanzhou glanced at his thin arms and thin legs and said, ¡°Give me the can, I¡¯ll open it.¡±


    Wearing thick rubber gloves, he took some time to open one of the beef cans: ¡°Try it and see if you like it.¡±


    Xie Chengze took a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, then said, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    ¡°If you like it, I¡¯ll bring more to you next time, Aze, don¡¯t eat too much at one time, the beef is not easy to digest.¡± Lu Yanzhou advised Xie Chengze.


    Ordinary young men will be able to digest canned beef, but Xie Chengze eats paste every day, his stomach must be weak.


    Xie Chengze nodded obediently.


    Lu Yanzhou touched his head again.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t understand anything, so he will teach him little by little¡­Lu Yanzhou likes the feeling of raising a baby.


    In the afternoon, Lu Yanzhou continued to teach Xie Chengze literature and language, and mathematics. He also watched an hour-long documentary with him.


    He found that Xie Chengze is very smart. He could learn mathematics as soon as he taught him. He could also memorize ancient poems and texts very quickly in literature and language, he could even copy the words after a few times.


    Xie Chengze knows most of the words ¡ª these years Xie Chengze also reads books and looks at the dictionaries.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s literature and language exam paper was like that should have had something to do with him not getting to write with a pen before.


    Many people don¡¯t write much with a pen when working. They only use computers and mobile phones to communicate with people. If one asks them to write with a pen, there will be situations where they don¡¯t know how to write the words that they know all of a sudden.


    Xie Chengze is like this.


    When the Xie family found a tutor to teach Xie Chengze lessons, there was no requirement for Xie Chengze at all. Xie Chengze rarely took a pen. In the past ten years or so, Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t even have a teacher anymore.


    He can finish the exam paper which is already very good.


    ¡°Aze is so smart, he can understand it as soon as he learns it.¡± Lu Yanzhou praised.


    Xie Chengze is the favored son of heaven, he¡¯s very intelligent. Of course, his soul fragments can¡¯t be too stupid.


    If Xie Chengze receives a good education¡­Even if he is not in good health, he can take care of the company completely.


    Unfortunately, no one taught him before.


    Lu Yanzhou stayed at Xie¡¯s house until four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Looking at the time, he said, ¡°Aze, you have learned a lot today, let¡¯s do some exercise together.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little confused: ¡°Exercise?¡±


    ¡°Yes, let¡¯s do some exercise to keep our body healthy,¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t think about exercise at first, but the situation that Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t even open the can made him feel that Xie Chengze needed to exercise.


    He didn¡¯t expect Xie Chengze to practice anything, he only hoped that his arms and legs would be a little thicker, not as thin as they are now, as if they could be broken anytime.


    Xie Chengze was reluctant: ¡°What exercise are we going to do?¡±


    The sterile room where Xie Chengze was staying was not very spacious, so he couldn¡¯t do much exercise. Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Just jump, let¡¯s jump a few times.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be separated from you.¡± Xie Chengze held Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Be good, let¡¯s do a few jumps. How about you do ten jumps and I jump a hundred?¡± Lu Yanzhou coaxed him.


    Xie Chengze agreed.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll jump first.¡± Lu Yanzhou jumped a hundred times first.


    When he jumped, his hands also moved, either open and parallel, or clapped above his head. After the jumps, he was a little out of breath.


    The original owner rarely exercised, so his physical fitness is really poor.


    Seeing him jumping, Xie Chengze obediently started jumping ten times in one breath.


    After ten jumps, his pale face was already red. His breathing was a little short.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s physique was obviously bad, however, Lu Yanzhou started to clap his hands: ¡°Aze is awesome, he jumped ten times in one breath! We will work hard tomorrow to make twenty jumps.¡±


    Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s exaggerated expression for a while, and replied dully: ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°Aze, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯ll see you tomorrow.¡± Lu Yanzhou continues.


    Xie Chengze leaned against the wall: ¡°You hug me again¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze then left immediately.


    It won¡¯t be long before Xie Yuan comes back. He doesn¡¯t want to see Xie Yuan for the time being.


    And¡­he had other things to do.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze went back to his bedroom again.


    The computers in his bedroom were all turned on, making a humming noise, but because the operation of this sterile room requires a lot of machines, the fourth floor is always noisy, so the sound in his bedroom was covered up.


    He pressed it a few times, then turned on the surveillance camera again.


    He first turned on several surveillance cameras in the Xie family, then turned on the community surveillance cameras. It was not until Lu Yanzhou left the community that he turned off all those surveillance cameras, and then looked at the other computer.


    There were more characters on the computer, asking him why he didn¡¯t speak.


    Xie Chengze quickly typed an answer, then switched pages again and went looking in Xie Corporation¡¯s office system.


    His father was very unconcerned with his studies, and the tutors he found were all here to mess around. He studied for two years and only barely recognized the words.


    However, his father¡¯s superficial care is still okay. He installed computers for him in the name of passing him time.


    No one taught him how to use the computer. However, since he was always alone, he slowly learned.


    Through the Internet, he can know things all over the world.


    However, if asking him about synonyms and antonyms, ask him what the first stroke of a word is, ask him who wrote ¡®Sparrow¡¯ by a russian writer, or made him read the underlined sentence and write what the person in the text thinks, he really doesn¡¯t know.


    It is also difficult for him to write down those familiar words with a pen.


    A message box suddenly popped up on the computer. Xie Chengze¡¯s mobile phone received a message from Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze replied quickly. After replying, he wanted to see what Lu Yanzhou was doing.


    He has many ways to monitor Lu Yanzhou.


    However, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t do that.


    He liked the Lu Yanzhou in front of him a lot. He didn¡¯t want to know the things that Lu Yanzhou did behind his back that would make him unhappy.


    At noon today, he was not very happy.


    Old city district.


    Lu Yanzhou sent a message to Xie Chengze, then climbed onto the roof of the next building and helped the uncle who lived on the top floor to lay a tarp.


    The building where the old man lives has a total of five floors. It was built about 30 to 40 years ago. It¡¯s older than the original owner, there¡¯s bound to be some problems, such as water leakage on the top floor.


    Living on the top floor was a couple in their sixties, as well as an elderly woman whose husband was in his nineties.


    Their house is much smaller than the Lu family¡¯s house, only about 40 square meters. The roof is still leaking, so the living environment is very poor.


    Because the house can¡¯t be sold at a good price, the old people have no money to change houses.


    Lu Yanzhou helped lay the tarp on the top floor two or three times.


    He doesn¡¯t have the memory of his previous tasks, but he is quite skilled at this kind of work. He probably did a lot of things like that when he was doing tasks in the past.


    He has always been interested in accumulating merit. He doesn¡¯t know how much merit he has accumulated, but unfortunately he can¡¯t use it in this small world.


    After laying the tarp on the roof, Lu Yanzhou helped the old man on the third floor to repair the solar energy on the roof.


    This solar energy is not difficult to repair, but it is very troublesome for an old man. The old man on the third floor has not used solar energy to take a bath for half a year now.


    After doing this, looking at the time, Lu Yanzhou sent a message to remind Xie Chengze to eat on time.


    After chatting with Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou made another call and asked someone to have dinner tomorrow.


    Earning merit must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.


    That 30 million must be spent to bring him enough merit.


    Xie Chengze was in poor health and was easily assassinated. He wanted to look after Xie Chengze, so he was unable to leave. He needed someone to help him.


    Luckily he has money and can hire someone.


    Tomorrow, he will also go to the place where the original owner worked to sort out the various investments in the original owner¡¯s hands.


    The original owner has never read the financial reports of any listed company carefully. He has never paid attention to the operation of these listed companies, and even bought a lot of stocks for Xie Chengze with Xie Chengze¡¯s funds, which is simply a joke.


    The original owner is the kind of brokerage that still talks to people about his messy investments after the money is allocated.


    Rubbing his forehead, Lu Yanzhou felt as though his head could explode.


    He has no previous memory, and like Xie Chengze, he needs to learn, especially financial knowledge.


    At that time¡­Xie Chengze can follow along to learn?

 CH 6

    Lu Yanzhou went home from work. The original owner¡¯s parents had finished dinner. Seeing him, the original owner¡¯s mother asked, ¡°Zhouzhou, have you eaten yet?¡±


    ¡°Not yet.¡± Lu Yanzhou answered.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go and warm up the food for you?¡± Mother Lu asked cautiously.


    Father Lu and mother Lu are a very ordinary middle-aged couple.


    Although father Lu¡¯s sister married into a wealthy family, Lu Qiqi has never cared much about father Lu, who has no education and no ability, and Xie Yuan also looks down on them. Their family had no chance to fly up relying on Xie¡¯s.


    The Lu family worked in the Xie family, but they only worked as security guards and canteen aunts. They also got along with security guards and canteen aunts, their life circles were completely different from those of the white-collar class.


    Therefore, father Lu and mother Lu lived frugally. The food at home was not very good, so the original owner did not like to eat at home much.


    Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll just heat it myself.¡± He was not the original owner, he wasn¡¯t picky about the family¡¯s meals. He was more embarrassed to let his mother go heat his meals.


    ¡°Do you know how to use the microwave?¡± Mother Lu was worried.


    Mother Lu still followed him into the kitchen. Although Lu Yanzhou seldom eats at home, she still prepares meals for Lu Yanzhou at night, but these dishes are cold now. The dishes that were originally not good-looking are now even more unappetizing.


    Mother Lu asked again, ¡°Zhouzhou¡­Mom will fry another egg for you?¡±


    ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to. You can rest.¡± Lu Yanzhou said gently.


    The son who usually has a bad temper is very gentle today¡­Mother Lu was full of emotion and went to watch TV on the sofa.


    After Lu Yanzhou warmed up the food and went out to eat, father Lu also came over: ¡°Zhouzhou, I have turned on the air conditioner in your room for you.¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu have a decent income, but when they bought this house, part of the down payment was borrowed. They have to pay off the loan and pay the original owner tuition fees, and also save money for the original owner to get married in the future¡­They are usually reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, but they will turn it on for the original owner.


    When the original owner was imprisoned later, father Lu and mother Lu tried to alleviate his charges by selling the house to help him pay back the money, and begged for help everywhere¡­


    Lu Yanzhou smiled and said, ¡°Dad, thank you¡­Dad, it¡¯s been cold these past two days, is your waist uncomfortable?¡±


    ¡°No, no, I¡¯m fine.¡± Father Lu was overjoyed and went to watch TV.


    Lu Yanzhou has a lot of things to do now. He has no money to improve the life of the old couple, so he can only think about caring more about them in their daily life.


    That night, Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze that he was going to the company tomorrow morning, and told Xie Chengze that he should practice writing if he has nothing to do.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± he knows all the words, but he doesn¡¯t know how to write them¡­Seems like it¡¯s not very good?


    The first thing Lu Yanzhou did when he woke up in the morning was to send a message to Xie Chengze, and then Xie Chengze made a direct video call.


    Lu Yanzhou accepted it and saw Xie Chengze¡¯s flawless face appear on his phone screen.


    The first time he saw Xie Chengze, he was stunned by Xie Chengze. Later, when he saw that Xie Chengze was always alone, excluded from the group, and was injured from time to time during tasks, he couldn¡¯t help taking more care of this beautiful little brother.


    Although Xie Chengze is indifferent, he is actually a good person. Because of this, the relationship between him and Xie Chengze gets better and better, and they eventually become best friends.


    However, even if they had a life-long friendship in the past, Xie Chengze would not show such an attached expression at that time, or called him brother Yanzhou sweetly.


    This kid is so cute.


    He must restore this child¡¯s body as soon as possible!


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I will write obediently, you come to see me earlier.¡± Xie Chengze on the other end of the phone blinked and said.


    He lives in a sterile room, no one cuts his hair, he has to cut it himself, so it¡¯s a bit long.


    Now he has just woken up after a night of sleep, and his hair is even more messy.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to touch his hair, but unfortunately he couldn¡¯t: ¡°Mm, I will definitely come over earlier.¡±


    Xie Chengze was reluctant to hang up the video call. Lu Yanzhou knew he was lonely, so he didn¡¯t hang up too. He went out to dinner with the video call on.


    It was only after seven o¡¯clock in the morning, the original owner¡¯s parents were still at home. Seeing Lu Yanzhou making a video call with someone, Mother Lu asked curiously, ¡°Zhouzhou, who is that?¡±


    ¡°This is my boss.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The original owner¡¯s parents knew Xie Chengze, but they didn¡¯t know the twists and turns of the Xie family. They only met Xie Chengze when Xie Chengze was young and Lu Qiqi was still holding Xie Chengze.


    However, they are very grateful to Xie Chengze. After all, Xie Chengze gave their son a job with an annual salary of one million.


    Few of Xie Corporation¡¯s bright and beautiful executives don¡¯t even have an annual salary of one million!


    ¡°It turned out to be the little boss! Did the little boss eat?¡± Mother Lu asked.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t answer, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°He had already eaten.¡±


    Xie Chengze saw his parents and was stunned and did not speak, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let him greet his parents. He just let the video call on and had breakfast while talking to Xie Chengze.


    For the sake of Xie Chengze¡¯s face, he didn¡¯t say anything about letting Xie Chengze go to study. He only asked him if he had ever played games on his mobile phone, and if he had fun or something.


    Xie Chengze answered obediently.


    The two chatted until Lu Yanzhou went out.


    Lu Yanzhou first went to the company.


    Xie Chengze has a lot of property in his name, and his grandfather specially left a team to help him manage it. The so-called company is a place for the people of his team to stay.


    Lu Yanzhou arrived at the place and found that no one cared about him at all.


    The original owner had no relevant work experience, did not understand financial knowledge, and just learned how to buy stocks after he came to the company.


    If it weren¡¯t for the high salary, less work, and less pressure in the company, most would likely quit already.


    Lu Yanzhou ignored the strange eyes of others, found the information, and began to check Xie Chengze¡¯s assets status.


    Xie Chengze really has a lot of assets. There are hundreds of real estate properties alone. The office building where their company is located is also under his name.


    He also holds more than 5 percent shares of more than 20 large companies. He has tens of millions of liquidity, and various other investments.


    One could say he was very rich.


    Though it was said that his assets were managed by him. In fact, it isn¡¯t well managed at all. The original owner has used his money to make a lot of messy investments in the past year.


    When Lu Yanzhou was on earth, he wasn¡¯t born well off. His family is poor, his parents died young, and he grew up in the countryside with his grandparents.


    He had no money to study at that time, so he simply joined the army when he was an adult.


    He was an uneducated soldier who had no future. Basically, he should have returned to look for a job in a few years, but he was lucky and his physical fitness was very good, so he was selected into the special force.


    After joining the special forces, he went to study several times, and even went to a military academy. After being discharged from the army due to an injury, he became a policeman.


    He has never done business, but he likes to read political and economic news. He has also dealt with some economic cases, combined with the memory of the original owner¡­


    Let¡¯s not talk about the investments made by other people in the team for the time being. It is better to sell the stock funds that the original owners bought indiscriminately.


    Lu Yanzhou stayed in the company all morning, then went downstairs to buy something to eat and went straight to Xie¡¯s house.


    He didn¡¯t see Xie Chengze all morning, he missed him.


    When Lu Yanzhou arrived at Xie¡¯s house this time, Lu Qiqi was not there, and others said that she went out.


    The housekeeper, who was very enthusiastic before, this time when Lu Qiqi was away, turned cold again.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care about the butler¡¯s attitude. He went upstairs and saw Xie Chengze sitting by the wall, looking at the door.


    Seeing him, Xie Chengze immediately jumped up and waved at him: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you are finally here!¡±


    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m here.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed and sat beside Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Did you bring me anything today?¡± Xie Chengze asked, leaning on the plastic film.


    Lu Yanzhou took something from his bag: ¡°I brought you some snacks and a copybook.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou put the copybook into the disinfection pipe, then sat next to the plastic film, next to Xie Chengze, and continued to give Xie Chengze some lecture.


    Xie Chengze was absent-minded. He is not familiar with those basic knowledge, but he is not completely ignorant. The point is¡­he can¡¯t use them.


    His body has no immunity at all. It¡¯s a miracle that he can survive until now, he doesn¡¯t know how long he will live.


    Why is he still taking lessons?


    Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou for a long time, then stretched his hand into the plastic glove to pull Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand, and said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, let me give you a house. I have a flat in Zixin Yuan which is very good.¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou chatted with Lu Qiqi before, he said that he wanted a house.


    Lu Yanzhou has already taken 30 million from his name, he has no shortage of money to buy a house.


    He would simply give Lu Yanzhou a flat.


    Would Lu Yanzhou treat him better this way?


    Xie Chengze rested his chin on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s shoulder. If they didn¡¯t have the thick plastic film between them, he could kiss him at any time.


    Lu Yanzhou pushed Xie Chengze. Moving away from Xie Chengze, he looked at Xie Chengze disapprovingly: ¡°Aze, how can you just give someone a flat?¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou blankly.


    Lu Yanzhou said earnestly: ¡°Do you know how much a house is worth and how much you can buy with it? In this country, many people can only earn two or three thousand a month. What about your flat in Zixin Yuan? That¡¯s a big flat, worth about 2 or 3 million!¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little aggrieved: ¡°I just want to give it to you¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou originally wanted to educate him, but when he saw Xie Chengze¡¯s aggrieved expression, he was reluctant to lecture him.


    Xie Chengze continued, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, do you want it?¡±


    Before the change, Lu Yanzhou would definitely not accept it, but now he wants to earn merit as soon as possible so that Xie Chengze can recover¡­


    Lu Yanzhou sighed and said, ¡°I want it.¡±


    After speaking, Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze and felt distressed again.


    This kid really doesn¡¯t understand anything and has no concept of money.


    In the future, he must take more care of him.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry to teach Xie Chengze basic knowledge. Instead, he chatted with Xie Chengze and talked a lot about the world. He even took out his mobile phone and found a shopping app to show him the prices of various products.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s pleasant voice kept ringing in his ears. Xie Chengze was hugged by him, thinking it was more interesting than practicing writing or learning elementary school literature and language.

 CH 7

    Lu Yanzhou left Xie¡¯s house as usual before dinner, and then went to a small restaurant without stopping.


    He made an appointment to meet someone yesterday.


    Lu Yanzhou made an appointment with one of his high school classmates named Zhao Chaoyuan.


    Zhao Chaoyuan is very rich. He is a rich second generation, but he is different from ordinary rich second generation. He does not pursue material enjoyment but pursues spiritual satisfaction.


    When other rich second-generation were enjoying urban life, he ran to impoverished areas every day, carrying a camera to take pictures and documentaries for the elderly and children there to raise money for them.


    When other people¡¯s Moments send a big meal, he sends peppers mixed with potatoes; other people¡¯s Moments are of scenic spots, he sends a mountain; when others send red-lipped beauty, he sends a blushing little girl in the plateau.


    The original owner felt that Zhao Chaoyuan was just filling himself and holding him up, he was thinking of making a name for himself, but Lu Yanzhou really admired such a person.


    When Lu Yanzhou arrived, there were still ten minutes before the appointed time, but Zhao Chaoyuan was already there.


    ¡°Sorry, there¡¯s a traffic jam,¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°It was me who arrived early. What would you like to eat?¡± Zhao Chaoyuan, who was in his twenties but had a dark face, asked with a smile.


    This restaurant was decided after Lu Yanzhou asked Zhao Chaoyuan¡¯s home address. It mainly deals in set menus such as rice bowls and barbecued rice. The price per serving ranges from 25 yuan to 50 yuan.


    Zhao Chaoyuan asked for black pepper beef rice, and Lu Yanzhou asked for black pepper chicken rice. He even took out his mobile phone and used the app to order it ¡ª it would be cheaper.


    After ordering the meal, Zhao Chaoyuan asked, ¡°By the way, Lu Yanzhou, you want to donate?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou invited him to dinner yesterday, saying that he wanted to donate money. He nodded directly: ¡°Yes, I want to donate money. I hope the money can be put to practical use.¡±


    ¡°Then you are right to look for me! The non-profit organization I joined has completely transparent accounts, and I also cooperate with many other organizations¡­¡± Zhao Chaoyuan took out a tablet and showed Lu Yanzhou the various materials inside.


    After reading the original owner¡¯s memory, Lu Yanzhou felt that Zhao Chaoyuan was credible, and now that he saw the real person, he believed it even more. However, he still carefully read the various information provided by the other party.


    ¡°By the way, your donation is also tax deductible¡­Even if you don¡¯t donate money, you can donate clothes and books. However, we don¡¯t need complicated styles, but simple styles that can keep one warm.¡± Zhao Chaoyuan was very enthusiastic.


    ¡°I¡¯ll donate money first. If you have materials you need, send me a list, I can also look for it.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Okay, How much do you want to donate? If the total donation exceeds 10,000, we will send small gifts. If you sponsor the children to study, they will write to you!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°I¡¯ll donate 30 million first.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Zhao Chaoyuan was dumbfounded.


    When Zhao Chaoyuan was in high school, he had little contact with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou got to know Zhao Chaoyuan through other people¡¯s descriptions and Moments. Zhao Chaoyuan also got to know Lu Yanzhou through Lu Yanzhou¡¯s Moments. After he received a call from Lu Yanzhou yesterday, he urgently turned over Lu Yanzhou¡¯s Moments.


    Lu Yanzhou had a luxury car in his Moments, and his family condition also seemed to be good. When he came, he thought that it might just be Lu Yanzhou¡¯s regular donation every year.


    However¡­30 million¡­Did he hear it right?


    His family runs a company, but his dad has absolutely no funds available like 30 million!


    It¡¯s really unbelievable. He didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to be so rich!


    Lu Yanzhou is willing to donate all the money he has¡­


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s chicken rice was served along with the small pickles in seaweed soup.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou pick up the spoon and take a big big, Zhao Chaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but be in awe.


    A person who donates 30 million is willing to eat a 30 yuan meal!


    ¡°This money is actually not mine, but my boss¡¯s. He wants to help more people.¡± Lu Yanzhou said while eating.


    He needs merit. Whether the merit is his or Xie Chengze¡¯s, it doesn¡¯t make much difference.


    Anyway, he collected it to use on Xie Chengze.


    It turns out that¡­Zhao Chaoyuan sighed: ¡°Your boss is really a good person!¡±


    ¡°I think so too.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    If he is not in a hurry, Lu Yanzhou will spend the money and take his time, but he is in a hurry now.


    After telling Zhao Chaoyuan to sign the agreement tomorrow and give the money to Zhao Chaoyuan, and expressing his hope that Zhao Chaoyuan can spend the money as soon as possible, Lu Yanzhou went home.


    On the way home, he went to the pharmacy to buy a can of american ginseng, a can of wolfberry, and two bottles of calcium-containing multivitamin tablets.


    Father Lu and mother Lu are not too young anymore, and they still live frugally too. Although during the company¡¯s physical examination, they did not find any major problems with them, they always have leg cramps or something. It would be better to eat some health supplements.


    Lu Yanzhou told his parents in advance that he would not go home for dinner today. However, when he came home, mother Lu still asked him if he wanted something to eat.


    The original owner would be very impatient in such a situation, but Lu Yanzhou likes this kind of care: ¡°Mom, I have already eaten.¡±


    After speaking, Lu Yanzhou gave them the american ginseng, wolfberry, and vitamin tablets in his hands and told them to eat them every day.


    Father Lu and mother Lu had never eaten these before. They said that they didn¡¯t need to eat because they were not sick, but their faces bloomed with a smile. After a while, they began to talk about people in the company and whose daughter bought them something.


    Lu Yanzhou listened to them with a smile, then he told his parents that one of his classmates was raising money for people in poverty-stricken areas, asking them to sort out the clothes they don¡¯t wear at home.


    Father Lu and mother Lu are reluctant to throw things away, so there were a lot of clothes and shoes that the original owner didn¡¯t wear anymore.


    Mother Lu kept saying, ¡°Your feet are big, and your father can¡¯t even wear the shoes you replaced. It¡¯s a pity¡­These shoes are still new.¡±


    Of course, the shoes are not new, but the original owner buys seven or eight pairs of sneakers every year. It¡¯s a fact that these shoes are not worn though.


    In addition, there are a lot of warm clothes that the original owner no longer needs, so it is very good to donate them.


    Lu Yanzhou made another video call with Xie Chengze in the evening. The next morning, he went to see Zhao Chaoyuan, and then donated the 30 million that the original owner had embezzled from the company, as well as the clothes that he had packed up yesterday.


    After the donation, the morning was almost over. Lu Yanzhou found a place to eat something then went to Xie¡¯s house again.


    Yesterday, Xie Chengze gave away a ten millions flat when he opened his mouth, which shocked Lu Yanzhou. After chatting with Xie Chengze, he found that Xie Chengze had no idea about money, which also related to his mentality.


    Xie Chengze grew up in a sterile room. He didn¡¯t get to pursue or want anything, and he didn¡¯t lack money¡­Of course he didn¡¯t care about money.


    Xie Chengze said he wanted to give him the flat, which was given to Xie Chengze by his grandfather ten years ago. Xie Chengze only knew that he had such a residence, but he could not live there, so of course it doesn¡¯t hurt him to give it away.


    Lu Yanzhou brought something to Xie Chengze today. After giving it to Xie Chengze, he asked, ¡°Aze, do you have anything you want?¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little at a loss.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°We are just talking, you can say whatever you want.¡±


    Xie Chengze lay on the plastic film and looked at Lu Yanzhou seriously: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I want to hug you. The kind that is not separated by this thing.¡±


    He said and patted the plastic film in front of him.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart ached, but he smile: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when you¡¯re well, you can hug me as much as you want!¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t take Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words seriously.


    If he could recover, he would be fine by now.


    Although no one cares about him now, he received many many treatments when he was a child.


    Xie Chengze smiled and nodded: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou put his hand into the rubber gloves and straightened the messy hair on Xie Chengze¡¯s head.


    Xie Chengze suddenly said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I also want to kiss you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, and then said: ¡°Okay, I will give you my face when the time comes. You can kiss it as you like.¡±


    Xie Chengze had never had the hugs and kisses that ordinary children would have. If he wanted, he would naturally supply him.


    Lu Yanzhou chatted with Xie Chengze about something else, and said, ¡°Aze, do you remember what I said before, I took some money from you? I donated the money.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Xie Chengze responded casually, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, hug me.¡±


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was not interested in these things, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say much and just hugged him.


    After the hug, Lu Yanzhou pulled out some financial information from his mobile phone and wanted to study it with Xie Chengze.


    However, Xie Chengze had no interest at all. He instead pestered Lu Yanzhou and asked Lu Yanzhou to talk about his childhood.


    Lu Yanzhou said a few things, including the original owner and his own experience. In order to make Xie Chengze happy, he also picked interesting ones and said: ¡°This season, loaches will hide in the mud. I will go to the rice fields to look for them. Once I was digging and digging, I saw a loach that was very big, I was very excited and pulled it out. The more I pulled it, the more I felt that something was not right. Why is this loach so long? Guess what happened in the end?¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡± Xie Chengze was curious.


    ¡°That¡¯s a hibernating snake!¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Xie Chengze was a little worried, ¡°did it bite you?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s hibernating.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze blinked and stared at Lu Yanzhou, as if Lu Yanzhou had done something extraordinary, and his performance made Lu Yanzhou more interested.


    Xie Chengze then followed closely and asked, ¡°I have never seen a loach, what does a loach look like?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll find it online for you to see.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, searching for a small video for Xie Chengze to watch.


    Xie Chengze watched it with gusto, then asked Lu Yanzhou what the snake was like.


    Lu Yanzhou went to find similar pictures to show him.


    Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was already past four o¡¯clock, and Lu Yanzhou had to leave again.


    Xie Chengze reluctantly said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, don¡¯t forget to come see me tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze before leaving.


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou still had something to do¡ªthe residence Xie Chengze gave him. He was going to go to the residence.


    Real estate transactions in big cities are quite troublesome, but he is a local and has the qualifications to buy houses, and the company has a special team, so it was done very quickly.


    In fact, compared to the flat, Lu Yanzhou wants money more. However, the flat is not small and it¡¯s not easy to find a buyer in the short term so he didn¡¯t bother about it. After transferring, he took the mortgage with the real estate deed and donated it with the loaned money.


    Xie Chengze has saved a lot of money in the bank, and it¡¯s a quick thing to do. As for how to repay the loan¡­He earns a lot of money every month.


    The loan needs to go through the process. After Lu Yanzhou went to the flat to take a look, he put the flat on the intermediary for rent.


    This flat was originally sold as a finely decorated house, but it has been unoccupied and unattended for all these years. The interior decoration is very old. If one were to live in it, it¡¯s not only necessary to renovate, but they also need to buy furniture and appliances. Renting is easier, the most is he has to lower the rents.


    Lu Yanzhou ran around, but he didn¡¯t forget to accompany Xie Chengze. In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.


    There was nothing to do that day, Lu Yanzhou arrived at Xie¡¯s house at 9am.


    As the chairman and CEO, Xie Yuan has very flexible working hours. Usually, he doesn¡¯t like to go to company meetings, but he is still very professional. He likes to manage things, so he usually won¡¯t stop going. He will go to the company even on weekends.


    When Lu Yanzhou arrived, Xie Yuan was no longer there, but his cousin Xie Chengyun was having breakfast.


    ¡°Chengyun, long time no see.¡± Lu Yanzhou greeted.


    Xie Chengyun pouted: ¡°You are here to find the little princess again.¡±


    The original owner and Xie Chengyun were ten years apart, so they couldn¡¯t play together, and Lu Qiqi wouldn¡¯t let them play together. Naturally, their relationship is normal.


    In addition, because Xie Chengze¡¯s illness is very rare, people often ask Xie Chengyun about Xie Chengze, and they always mention that the illness is hereditary. Xie Chengyun has always disliked his brother Xie Chengze, and wishes that others didn¡¯t know that he had such a brother.


    He gave the ¡®Little Princess¡¯ nickname to Xie Chengze when he was still a child. He has alway called Xie Chengze that way since then.


    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll go see him on the fourth floor.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengyun didn¡¯t even think about stopping his mouth: ¡°When will he die?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face changed instantly: ¡°Xie Chengyun, what did you say?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has always had a good temper, but at this moment, he had the urge to hit him, but he resisted it and didn¡¯t do it.


    He was afraid that if he get angry with Xie Chengyun, Xie Chengyun would do something irreparable to hurt Xie Chengze.


    When Xie Chengyun was young, he didn¡¯t believe that Xie Chengze was so weak, so he got into the disinfection pipeline and tried to open Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room.


    It¡¯s just that he couldn¡¯t open it, otherwise Xie Chengze might have died by then.


    Later, when Lu Qiqi talked about this incident, she also complained that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t stop Xie Chengyun, and felt that the disinfectant that Xie Chengyun came into contact with in the disinfection pipe might be bad for his health.


    ¡°Why are you angry? Was I wrong? The doctors have said that he will not live to be thirty years old.¡± Xie Chengyun said.


    Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath: ¡°Talking nonsense like this, are you not afraid of being heard and everyone will know that you are such a cold-blooded person?¡±


    It wasn¡¯t known what Xie Chengyun was thinking about, he really didn¡¯t say anything else.


    Lu Yanzhou ignored him and went up to the fourth floor. When he saw Xie Chengze, his face was still not very good.


    ¡°Are you angry?¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou curiously.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a little angry,¡± Lu Yanzhou clenched his fists, suddenly thought of something and asked Xie Chengze, ¡°Is there any surveillance here?¡±


    He suddenly thought that on the original historical trajectory, after Xie Chengze¡¯s death, a hacker disclosed the surveillance on the fourth floor of Xie¡¯s house before Xie Chengze died.


    Although he is very close to Xie Chengze these days, even if he is seen, it can be explained by the fact that he wants money from Xie Chengze. Now¡­


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I used to have it, but then I was unhappy, so I closed it.¡±


    The surveillance camera should be closed, at least for the Xie family, otherwise Father Xie would not be so careless. The hacker should had gotten the surveillance camera by another method.


    Lu Yanzhou locked the door he came in and sat down beside the plastic film: ¡°Xie Chengze, your brother really needs a beating!¡±


    T/N: Another name for american ginseng is panax quinquefolius

 CH 8

    Lu Yanzhou was full of anger at Xie Chengyun, if he was not afraid that Xie Chengze would learn badly, he would start cursing right now!


    However even if he didn¡¯t scold anyone, he still expressed his thoughts about Xie Chengyun: ¡°Xie Chengyun is getting more and more lawless!¡±


    ¡°If no one cares if he goes on like this, it isn¡¯t known what he will look like in the future!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what my aunt is thinking, why don¡¯t she care more about him?¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze listened carefully, then suddenly reached out to touch Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at him puzzled: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Xie Chengze smiled and rolled his eyes: ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just want to touch you.¡±


    Xie Chengze was happy. He didn¡¯t know anything about his brother cursing him¡­Lu Yanzhou held his hand and sighed: ¡°You¡­¡±


    There¡¯s no need to tell Xie Chengze something bad to make Xie Chengze uncomfortable, so Lu Yanzhou changed the subject: ¡°Did you practice writing?¡±


    ¡°Practice.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Show me.¡± Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to bring the copybook. When he saw the copybook, he praised Xie Chengze, and then coaxed Xie Chengze to accompany him to study finance.


    He chatted with Xie Chengze about everything these days. When he talked about things that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know, he searched the Internet for Xie Chengze to see.


    Xie Chengze could only listen reluctantly. After a while, he began to make small movements, either pinching Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ears or Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms, focusing on Lu Yanzhou.


    Like a child¡­Lu Yanzhou grabbed Xie Chengze¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Aze, you have a lot of money in your name, you¡¯d better know something about it.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand, I don¡¯t want to hear it.¡± Xie Chengze leaned pitifully against the plastic film.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­What else can Lu Yanzhou do? Just spoil him.


    Xie Chengze has been locked up and has never been in contact with anything. Now that he is asked to study finance suddenly, he is also bored.


    After studying through half of the course, Lu Yanzhou stuck to Xie Chengze and started to tell him about the company, such as his plan to sell all the stocks and funds he had bought in the past year.


    Xie Chengze had no opinion at all. He nodded in agreement and hurriedly changed the subject: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I will recite the ancient poem you asked me to recite!¡±


    After speaking, Xie Chengze began to recite the ancient poems that Lu Yanzhou asked him to recite.


    This kid really has no interest in the company at all¡­Lu Yanzhou listened with his back to him carefully then praised him.


    Xie Chengze obviously really likes to get compliments, his eyes bend when he hears it.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Okay, Aze, the ancient poems are finished, let¡¯s do some exercise.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s just-bent eyes widened again: ¡°¡­¡± He didn¡¯t want to move!


    Lu Yanzhou estimated Xie Chengze¡¯s physical fitness. Every day, he would make Xie Chengze jump a few more times than the day before. Today, he would let Xie Chengze perform four sets of 20 jumps, for a total of 80 jumps.


    The amount of exercise was really small, however, Xie Chengze would be out of breath after jumping, while Lu Yanzhou, who jumped


    400 times first with a total of 800 times, did not feel tired.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you are amazing.¡±


    ¡°What is this? I used to be able to jump once¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou did not continue.


    The original owner didn¡¯t exercise much, he started gasping for breath after 800 jumps. Back then, he was able to jump 2,000 times at a time with ease. He was physically able to beat his peers.


    However, these can¡¯t be said. Lu Yanzhou immediately talked about something else.


    After chatting for a long while, it was time for lunch. The housekeeper came up as usual and asked if he wanted to eat.


    Lu Yanzhou, who didn¡¯t want to see Xie Chengyun: ¡°No, I brought something to eat.¡±


    The housekeeper glanced at Xie Chengze and said, ¡°Young master1, should I bring you something to eat?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou did bring food, but only canned food. He thought about it and said, ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±


    The housekeeper quickly brought up a meal, which was rich in both meat and vegetables.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t eat normal food, so letting him see that he was not eating well, Lu Yanzhou wanted to avoid it. However, Xie Chengze was unwilling: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you eat next to me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou listened to him. He touched Lu Yanzhou here and there while eating, and asked Lu Yanzhou what he ate.


    ¡°This is broccoli, this is fried fish¡­I don¡¯t know what kind of fish it is, this is beef¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou explained all four dishes.


    ¡°It looks delicious.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll cook it for you in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed. When he was on Earth, he lived alone. He couldn¡¯t say how good his cooking skills were, but he was okay.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou deeply, then reached out and touched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s adam apple.


    Lu Yanzhou is quite good at drawing large flat bread2.


    However, he has to admit, he likes hearing it.


    During this time with Lu Yanzhou, he was very happy. He would forget that he couldn¡¯t leave this cage when he was with him. He would forget those unhappy things and just smile.


    However, Lu Yanzhou would leave.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s neck, he wanted to bite it so that he wouldn¡¯t be able to walk away.


    Lu Yanzhou actually wanted to leave early. If he stayed with Xie Chengze all day, the Xie family would start doubting.


    However, Xie Chengze wants him to stay¡­In the end, he still didn¡¯t leave. He stayed with Xie Chengze for another afternoon and told Xie Chengze about some safety issues, so that Xie Chengze can pay attention to his safety in the future. If there is anything wrong, he can call him to inform him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room is very precious, and it is not so easy to destroy. For example, the ¡®plastic film¡¯ of unknown material between him and Xie Chengze is very strong and cannot be easily pierced. If it breaks, an alarm will ring.


    After that, Xie Chengze could hide in the sterile room in his bedroom. That sterile room is stronger than this sterile room.


    ¡°In addition to calling me, you can also call 110 or 119. You must protect yourself.¡± Lu Yanzhou repeatedly urged.


    Xie Chengze nodded seriously.


    ¡°My Aze is so good!¡± Lu Yanzhou touched Xie Chengze¡¯s head, and then kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s face on the plastic film ¡ª Xie Chengze likes this kind of closeness. Because he treats Xie Chengze as a child and is separated by the plastic film, he doesn¡¯t have any struggle at all.


    Lu Yanzhou coaxed Xie Chengze and was about to go downstairs when someone came up quickly.


    At noon, the door that was not locked after the housekeeper came was pushed open, and Lu Qiqi walked in.


    Lu Qiqi, who put on delicate makeup, said as soon as she came in: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you are getting better and better with this person! Staying here all day, you are still angry with your cousin, is this because he is your backer that you don¡¯t take me seriously?¡±


    When she was talking to Lu Yanzhou, she pointed at Xie Chengze.


    Seeing her like this, Lu Yanzhou knew that Xie Chengyun must have complained to her: ¡°Aunt, I didn¡¯t scold him. I just told him to pay attention to what he said, lest my uncle get angry¡­Let¡¯s go out to talk.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took Lu Qiqi out of the room, and was scold by Lu Qiqi, saying that he was eating inside and out, and that Xie Chengze was a sick child who would die sooner or later.


    Lu Yanzhou could not wait to take Xie Chengze away from the Xie family immediately.


    However, Xie Chengze is from the Xie family, what reason does he have to take Xie Chengze away? Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition is not easy to move, and his sterile room is even more difficult to move¡­


    Wait, he can¡¯t make Xie Chengze move out, but he can persuade Xie Chengze or ask Xie Chengze to move out.


    Xie Chengze is very close to him, he should be willing, right?


    As for after moving out¡­In the past, Xie Chengze had no one by his side, it was almost like being in Xie¡¯s house when he went elsewhere, but now he has him, doesn¡¯t he?


    Xie Chengze should leave the Xie family quickly. He has a lot of money. The Xie family still doesn¡¯t know that he made a will to donate the money. Maybe they will hurt him for his money at some point!


    Especially father Xie.


    According to the original historical trajectory, Xie¡¯s family had some trouble at this time. Father Xie wants to save Xie¡¯s family, he won¡¯t plan to strike Xie Chengze, right?


    In contrast, Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun¡­Although these two don¡¯t like Xie Chengze, they really don¡¯t dare to do anything that could hurt him. Their thoughts were just to outlive Xie Chengze and inherit Xie Chengze¡¯s assets.


    With this thought, Lu Yanzhou finally settled down.


    Lu Qiqi didn¡¯t know about Xie Chengze giving Lu Yanzhou a house, so she let Lu Yanzhou leave after she taught Lu Yanzhou a lesson.


    When Lu Yanzhou was leaving, Xie Chengyun proudly raised his chin towards him.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± I want to beat this guy!


    It wasn¡¯t just Lu Yanzhou who wanted to beat Xie Chengyun. Upstairs, Xie Chengze, who was watching the surveillance, had a very cold expression.


    Xie Chengze had never taken Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun seriously before.


    Although the two hated him, they couldn¡¯t do anything but talk.


    At first, Xie Chengyun came through the disinfection pipeline, but in the end it was only him who was disinfected.


    However, today, he doesn¡¯t like the two of them.


    Xie Chengze thought for a while, then pressed it on the computer. After a while, he entered Xie Chengyun¡¯s mobile phone.


    Xie Chengyun¡¯s mobile phone is connected to the Xie family¡¯s network without any protection. Xie Chengze has quietly put something in his mobile phone, and now he is looking at his chat records.


    The boys in the second phase of middle school always feel that they are the best in heaven and earth, and find everything not pleasing to their eyes. Xie Chengyun won¡¯t say anything in public, but with a few of his friends, he will say everything.


    Complaining about his father today, complaining about his mother tomorrow, and complaining about his teacher the next day.


    A few hours ago, Xie Chengyun complained to his childhood friend about Lu Yanzhou, saying that his cousin, who was very useless, licked his sick brother every day for money.


    Xie Chengze held his head and looked at the records for a while. Then he cut some chat records of Xie Chengyun complaining about his parents, teachers, and classmates. He created a new account and sent it to Xie Chengyun¡¯s class group, and then posted it again in the parents group.


    After doing all this, Xie Chengze looked at the computer in deep thought.


    He sat for a long time, until some words suddenly appeared on the computer screen before he came to his senses ¡ª someone, who was a hacker like him, came to ask him if he wanted to take an order.


    In these years, doing illegal and criminal things on the network is just looking for trouble. Xie Chengze himself is not interested in those things, so the orders he has been receiving all the time are actually using technology to help people fix loopholes and the like.


    However, he rarely takes orders. He is not short of money. He will only take orders when he encounters very challenging orders.


    ¡°No.¡± Xie Chengze replied.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll give the list to someone else.¡± The person opposite replied.


    Xie Chengze glanced at it, not intending to continue chatting, but stared at the photo of Lu Yanzhou that he used as his desktop.


    He didn¡¯t speak, however, the person on the other side kept chattering: ¡°Water God, what happened to you recently? Why are you not online every day? You must know that you are the Water God who claims to never be offline!¡±


    Water God is quite well-known in their hacker circles. In addition to his good skills and aloofness, the best thing about him is that he is online most of the day.


    No matter how outstanding they are online, they are ordinary people in reality, and many of them have to go to work or school.


    Even those who don¡¯t go to work or school, were busy with their parents. They are forced to go on a blind date, to meet people, etc. They are not necessarily online every day.


    However, Water God is different. Although he doesn¡¯t like to talk to people, he is online every day, and the online time is still very long.


    They all felt in private that Water God should be a super otaku who had serious social fears and stayed in his room and never went out.


    However, such a Water God has had very little online time in the past week.


    ¡°There¡¯s something going on.¡± Xie Chengze replied.


    Recently, he had to talk to Lu Yanzhou during the day, then practice writing, do the homework that Lu Yanzhou left him, and to play the mentally retarded games that Lu Yanzhou asked him to play, so he had no time.


    As for the night, he used to sleep irregularly, but recently Lu Yanzhou urged him to go to bed early every day and put him to bed after nine o¡¯clock¡­How could he have time to surf the internet?


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is your life okay?¡± the person opposite asked worriedly.


    An otaku like Water God who doesn¡¯t go out all day can easily ruin his physical fitness.


    Xie Chengze stared at the words for a long time, then replied, ¡°No problem, just troubled by one thing.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°I really like someone. I want him to never leave me. I want him to stay by my side all the time. I want to kiss him and hug him¡­¡± Xie Chengze typed many words quickly.


    ¡°It turns out that you are in love, Water God. No wonder you have been offline! Wait, he? Are you a female, Water God?¡±


    ¡°I am a male.¡±


    ¡°!!!¡±


    ¡°You said I was¡­in love?¡±


    ¡°Mm¡­Water God, you are obviously in love with him, ahem, what is that person like? Is he from our circle?¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t reply, but fell into deep thought.


    So his feelings for Lu Yanzhou is love?


    Many years ago, when he first met Lu Yanzhou, he liked this person a lot.


    At that time, his mother had passed away for two years, and his father married Lu Qiqi home.


    Lu Qiqi wanted to please him, but he didn¡¯t like to talk or talk to people, so Lu Qiqi brought Lu Yanzhou to accompany him.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was a few years older than him, was very impatient with accompanying him. He was fine when he was in front of him, but he was very perfunctory when he was not in front of him, and sometimes he even laughed at him.


    However, he doesn¡¯t know why, he just likes Lu Yanzhou. He is happy when he sees Lu Yanzhou. He always wants to pinch Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let him pinch.


    However, his love for Lu Yanzhou at that time was actually similar to that of a child who especially likes a certain toy. Later, Lu Yanzhou stopped coming to see him, and he also didn¡¯t miss him much.


    As he grew older, he felt more and more that life was boring. At this time, Lu Yanzhou appeared in front of him with a face full of calculation¡­He still liked him.


    There are very few people and things that can interest him. If Lu Yanzhou wants a good job, he will give Lu Yanzhou a good job.


    Even if he knew that Lu Yanzhou had taken 30 million from his account, he didn¡¯t care much.


    Money is just a number to him, but Lu Yanzhou, he likes to see him.


    However, he didn¡¯t expect that Lu Yanzhou would suddenly change.


    After taking the money, he probably felt guilty so Lu Yanzhou got close to him. As for him¡­He didn¡¯t know what was going on, the urge to get close to Lu Yanzhou suddenly became many times stronger.


    He followed his heart and got close to Lu Yanzhou.


    Is this love?


    Yes.


    Xie Chengze is not someone who doesn¡¯t understand anything. In fact, because he was able to access the Internet very early, he was exposed to things that minors should not watch earlier than ordinary people.


    However, he never thought that he would fall in love with anyone, much less that he would fall in love with Lu Yanzhou.


    However, he did.


    He couldn¡¯t accept Lu Yanzhou being with others, not even a little intimacy, but he wanted to kiss Lu Yanzhou.


    However, he couldn¡¯t touch Lu Yanzhou at all. The germs and bacteria on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body would kill him.


    Xie Chengze sat quietly, like a statue, when suddenly his cell phone rang. It was Lu Yanzhou who sent a video call to him.


    Xie Chengze picked it up and showed a sweet smile.


    This was not a disguise. He really wanted to smile when he saw Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou started rambleding to him. After talking a bit, he suddenly asked, ¡°Aze, have you ever thought about moving out of Xie¡¯s house?¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback.


    Lu Yanzhou continues: ¡°You live in Xie¡¯s house, it is inconvenient for me to find you. If you can move out¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze immediately said, ¡°I can move out!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great, but if you want to move, isn¡¯t it troublesome? How do we prepare? You tell me, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Lu Yanzhou seemed very happy.


    Seeing him so happy, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t hold down the corners of his mouth. He really wants to kiss his mobile phone screen: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you don¡¯t need to prepare. I can leave Xie¡¯s house by putting on a special protective suit. As for the sterile room, my grandfather also has a sterile room in his villa.¡±


    When his grandfather wanted to pick him up, he built a sterile room.


    However, he was not interested in anything, and his grandfather was in poor health¡­He went to live in the sterile room for a few days, and then went back to Xie¡¯s house.


    For him, it doesn¡¯t matter where he lives. He can also watch the fun when he lives in Xie¡¯s house.


    However, now because he is at Xie¡¯s house, Lu Yanzhou can¡¯t always come to see him and accompany him¡­He wants to move out.


    ¡°There¡¯s also a sterile room in your grandpa¡¯s villa? That¡¯s great, we can move there as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°We?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll live with you, okay?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°Okay.¡±


    After nine o¡¯clock, Xie Chengze was urged by Lu Yanzhou to go to bed.


    He lay down obediently, trying to sleep. After a long while, he finally fell asleep slowly.


    When he was a kid, he used to be in and out of the hospital. He would then wear a protective suit like an astronaut suit, or simply be contained in a large sterile bubble.


    He also has to stay inside for a long time, unable to move around.


    He doesn¡¯t like that¡­


    Little Xie Chengze, who was lying in the bubble, was always a little dizzy because of the bumps.


    However, the bumps continued.


    A woman used both hands and feet to hit him in places: ¡°How could I give birth to a monster like you!¡±


    ¡°I spent so much money for your treatment, but it didn¡¯t work at all!¡±


    ¡°You are so useless!¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you just die?¡±


    ¡­


    The woman cursed hysterically, and he was pushed into a daze. At that moment, a man would come over, take the woman away, then give him a disgusting look before leaving.


    Xie Chengze suddenly opened his eyes.


    He woke up from the dream about his childhood.


    It is said that his mother loved him a lot when he was born, but his illness caused his mother to suffer from postpartum depression. Her mental state became worse and worse, and she was later diagnosed with cancer¡­


    His mother broke down and began to hate him and resent him.


    As for his father, his father didn¡¯t like him, after all he was just a failure.


    Even if everyone felt that he was valued by his grandfather, who loved him, they were unwilling to talk to him more.


    No one has liked him since he was a child. The housekeeper listens to him because he has the housekeeper¡¯s handle. What about those who call him ¡®Water God¡¯ one by one? Secretly, they would also say that he was difficult to reach.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­would he like him?


    He doesn¡¯t want to know.


    What Lu Yanzhou likes is his money.


    However, that¡¯s okay. If he has money, Lu Yanzhou will like him. As long as he gives enough money, Lu Yanzhou will accompany him.


    Xie Chengze sat for a long time, then lay down to sleep.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze had a nightmare. He was in a good mood before going to bed and slept soundly.


    He wanted Xie Chengze to move out of the Xie family. He thought it would take at least a month at first.


    It takes time to convince Xie Chengze and the sterile room is very troublesome to move, and it may even be necessary to renovate a house to accommodate such a large sterile room.


    However, things went very smoothly. As soon as he said it, Xie Chengze agreed. There was even a sterile ward in another place!


    The Xie family doesn¡¯t care about Xie Chengze, why didn¡¯t Xie Chengze leave Xie¡¯s house before?


    Wait, although Xie Chengze is already 22, he doesn¡¯t have much contact with people, so psychologically, he is probably still a child.


    Of course he didn¡¯t want to leave his family, and he had no one to rely on¡­


    When he woke up in the morning, Lu Yanzhou, who realized this, stopped brushing his teeth.


    He¡¯s afraid Xie Chengze had been wronged before, and he had nowhere to ask for help¡­


    These worlds are related to Black Tortoise. It was Black Tortoise who threw Xie Chengze into these worlds. Black Tortoise is going after Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou brushed his teeth harder. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he made another video call to Xie Chengze.


    His little cutie appeared on the phone screen.


    Xie Chengze also seemed to have just washed his face, the place where his hair was touching his scalp was wet. Water droplets fell down his cheeks to his chin: ¡°Brother Yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°Aze.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, when will you come to see me?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you after dinner today. I¡¯ll go to your grandfather¡¯s villa first to see how things are like there.¡±


    ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Xie Chengze sounds a little disappointed.


    ¡°When you move out, we can live together.¡± Lu Yanzhou comforted him.


    He was worried that Xie Chengze would live alone. He would have to prepare more generators at that time, so he can live by Xie Chengze¡¯s side to ensure Xie Chengze¡¯s absolute safety!


    ¡°Um,¡± Xie Chengze smiled, and suddenly became lost again, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you will get married in the future. When you have a wife and children, will you leave me alone?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t get married. I will always be with you.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The people in their world management do tasks, they won¡¯t get married and have children in the small world unless there are special circumstances because it¡¯s easy to leave cause and effect.


    He has done countless missions before, but he has never been in love and married. This time he came to this world for Xie Chengze, so it is even more impossible to fall in love with someone in this world.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes lit up.


    the housekeeper talking to Lu Yanzhou here. It is the young master from the madam family kind


    To draw a pretty picture of the future(something that wasn¡¯t real)

 CH 9

    Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou chatted for a while before hanging up.


    He hadn¡¯t slept well last night. He was a little tired at first, but now he feels refreshed.


    Lu Yanzhou said he would not get married.


    He knew that Lu Yanzhou was mostly coaxing him by saying that, but Lu Yanzhou would coax him like this¡­Did he know about his feelings?


    Of course, it is more likely that Lu Yanzhou said it casually to please him.


    These days, Lu Yanzhou says a lot in order to coax him.


    However, he was willing to listen. He wanted Lu Yanzhou to coax him.


    Xie Chengze walked to the glass wall by the window. He leaned on the glass wall and looked at the sunlight outside the window.


    If he could walk in the sun, he would definitely try his best to get Lu Yanzhou.


    However, he couldn¡¯t even touch Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze stared at the sunlight that shone through the window but could not enter his sterile room for a long time before going back to the computer and took out the copybook to practice writing.


    There is a surveillance camera from downstairs on the computer next to him.


    Xie Chengyun¡¯s mobile phone chat records were screenshotted and sent to the class group and parent group, then Xie Chengyun¡¯s classmates, parents, school teachers, Lu Qiqi¡­all blown up.


    Xie Chengyun privately gave teachers ugly nicknames and scolded the teacher calling them names. He also criticized the girls in the class and scolded the boys in the class with better grades than him.


    Even his parents were scolded by him. For example, Lu Qiqi had big chests and no brains and only knew how to control him.


    After these chat records entered the class group, Xie Chengyun died directly in his class.


    Lu Qiqi was also furious. Last night she had a big fight with Xie Chengyun, and then one by one, she apologized to other parents and teachers.


    She was so angry that she didn¡¯t sleep well all night. She now felt a headache when she saw Xie Chengyun in the morning.


    Xie Chengyun is also angry. When something like this happened, he would never be able to raise his head again in the class!


    Xie Chengyun was clamoring for a transfer, but Lu Qiqi picked the best school for him so she didn¡¯t want him to transfer. She wanted him to change.


    Early in the morning, the two quarreled again.


    Looking back and seeing Xie Yuan as if it had nothing to do with him¡­Even though Lu Qiqi was a little afraid of Xie Yuan, she still said, ¡°Husband, what do you think about this matter? The school is pretty good.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll find someone to transfer this idiot.¡± Xie Yuan said coldly.


    Lu Qiqi closed her mouth. Xie Chengyun was called an ¡®idiot¡¯ but she didn¡¯t dare to argue.


    Xie Yuan said to Lu Qiqi again: ¡°You bring him to apologize today, don¡¯t miss any family. If they¡¯re not home, go tomorrow!¡±


    Lu Qiqi answered cautiously. Xie Yuan had already finished breakfast by this time, then he went straight out to the company.


    Xie Chengze looked at this scene and sneered.


    His father never cared about his children. He was so indifferent to him that he hadn¡¯t been to the fourth floor in recent years, the same was true to Xie Chengyun too.


    However, Xie Chengyun still cared about his father¡¯s love. However, whenever he was reprimanded by their father, he went crazy in front of him.


    Over the years, Xie Chengyun has often scolded in front of him.


    Lu Qiqi didn¡¯t dare to disobey Xie Yuan¡¯s order. Even though Xie Chengyun felt that it was too embarrassing to apologize, he was threatened by Lu Qiqi with pocket money and even his mobile phone, so he had to go.


    When the young master went out, he closed the car door loudly.


    After Xie Chengze finished practicing writing a page of words, he took out another piece of paper and wrote the words ¡®Lu Yanzhou¡¯ on it.


    Lu Yanzhou went back to the company to get the key of the villa that Xie Chengze¡¯s grandpa left for him, and then went to the villa.


    After he went there, he found out that he didn¡¯t need to come here with the key at all ¡ª in this villa lived an old lady who took care of Xie Chengze¡¯s mother from back then. The old lady herself is getting old, she doesn¡¯t have the energy to clean the villa, however, every week, she will hire a housekeeper to clean so there¡¯s no dust in the villa.


    This villa is on three floors. The setting on the third floor is similar to Xie¡¯s house, and there is a sterile room with the same style.


    ¡°This sterile room is maintained every month and can be used at any time.¡± The old lady who lives in the villa is surnamed Wang. Old lady Wang was very excited when she heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s explanation, ¡°Young master is really willing to come back? If he comes back , then I¡¯ll invite a few more people right away.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s grandfather¡¯s surname was Zhang, and old lady Wang is a relative of Xie Chengze¡¯s grandmother. After she divorced her husband, she worked for the Zhang family for decades. The Zhang family also promised her early to take care of when she is old.


    There is no one in the Zhang family, but the company that Lu Yanzhou works for belongs to Xie Chengze. Every month, the old lady will be allocated 50,000 yuan. The biggest expense of the old lady is to ask someone to clean the villa, so she can save a lot of money every month, plus savings from her youth. She is now a rich old lady.


    ¡°He is willing to come back and live. I will find someone to check the sterile room now.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    As Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant, he knows the person, who usually helps Xie Chengze maintain his sterile room, contact information and also knows Xie Chengze¡¯s doctor contact information.


    Lu Yanzhou brought them all to check the sterile room. While disinfecting the sterile room, they also think of a way to transfer Xie Chengze.


    The sterilized airtight protective suit and the oxygen tank are combined into a space suit-like equipment. Xie Chengze is absolutely safe when he stays inside.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly felt a little fortunate that Xie Chengze is very rich.


    ¡°When will young master Xie move?¡± the doctor asked Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for tomorrow.¡± Lu Yanzhou answered. He felt that the sooner Xie Chengze moved, the better, but today is the weekend. Xie Chengyun and Lu Qiqi may both be at home, so there may be a conflict if they move: ¡°It¡¯s quite late, I¡¯ll invite you all to a meal.¡±


    After all the work, it was past one o¡¯clock in the afternoon. The people he called had not eaten yet.


    Lu Yanzhou said that and took out his mobile phone to find a suitable restaurant, then saw that Xie Chengze sent him a message not long ago saying that he missed him.


    Lu Yanzhou replied: ¡°Aze, there is still something I have to do. I will see you tomorrow.¡±


    The sterile room needs to be sterilized several times, the furniture in it also needs to be replaced. He can also take this opportunity to put more books in it.


    In addition, he offended Xie Chengyun yesterday. If he goes today, he might be in trouble¡­It doesn¡¯t matter if he was scolded with a few words, he is afraid that Xie Chengze will be implicated.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you come today?¡± Xie Chengze quickly sent the message.


    Lu Yanzhou replied: ¡°Xie Chengyun may trouble me.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, he¡¯s not here. He and his mother went out, I saw it.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s reply came immediately.


    Seeing this information, Lu Yanzhou immediately called Xie Chengze.


    After learning from Xie Chengze that Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun were not at home, he made a decision.


    He used the company account to transfer 10,000 yuan to each of the people present, and asked apologetically: ¡°Everyone, can you do me a favor, I think I will take young master Xie over today?¡±


    Everyone looked at the money in their account and expressed their willingness to help.


    Even if they are hungry, they must do good deeds!


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let them go hungry. He found someone to buy some rice balls and waited outside the community where the Xie family lived.


    In the end, the group arrived at Xie¡¯s house eating rice balls.


    In addition to Xie Chengze, the Xie family had only the housekeeper and the nanny. Seeing them, the housekeeper frowned slightly, but did not stop him.


    Lu Yanzhou took them to the fourth floor and sent the sterilized protective clothing into the sterile room.


    Xie Chengze returned to the bedroom with his clothes, then changed his clothes after a while.


    The sterile room can be opened from the inside. When Xie Chengze opened the sterile room, he ran out quickly and plunged into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms.


    However, even if there is no plastic film, there is still a thick protective suit between the two.


    Lu Yanzhou saw Xie Chengze¡¯s lost face across the round ¡®hat¡¯ similar to an astronaut helmet in the protective suit.


    ¡°When you¡¯re well, you don¡¯t have to wear this suit anymore.¡± Lu Yanzhou touched the round hat.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    ¡°Do you have anything you want to take from here?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at the sterile room behind Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze replied, ¡°I want to take away the computer and the things you gave me, can I?¡±


    ¡°Of course!¡± Lu Yanzhou followed Xie Chengze in, planning to take everything Xie Chengze was going to bring.


    Although the surrounding of the sterile room is transparent, the bedroom inside is partitioned, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know the layout of Xie Chengze¡¯s bedroom before.


    It was only then that he saw that there were two desktop computers and a laptop in this bedroom, as well as a small bed and a sterile compartment.


    Sterile compartment?


    Xie Chengze has a sterile compartment, that is to say, in the original historical trajectory, if he wants to save himself, he would be able to.


    Why didn¡¯t he do it?


    Looking at Xie Chengze beside him, Lu Yanzhou felt sour and astringent.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t want to live anymore because no one cares about him?

 CH 10

    ¡°My grandfather gave me the computer, I really like it.¡± Xie Chengze explained seeing that Lu Yanzhou was looking at his bedroom and didn¡¯t speak.


    He didn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to know about his good computer skills for the time being, but these two computers¡­Don¡¯t look at these two computers as ordinary, in fact, the configuration is very good.


    He also spent a lot of money to have the housekeeper find it for him.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled at him and helped move it.


    The two desktops were a bit heavy, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t think much about it. He just thought that Xie Chengze was nostalgic.


    He¡¯s afraid that people rarely give him anything, so when someone gives him something, he wants to take it all.


    Besides, if he has a computer, Xie Chengze can use the computer to watch movies or something, he can also learn to type.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze, who was very similar to Sandy the squirrel in SpongeBob SquarePants, and asked him, ¡°Can you type?¡±


    Xie Chengze answered, ¡°I can!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiles: ¡°My Aze is really amazing!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    They only packed up for an hour in total. An hour later, they left Xie¡¯s house with his belongings.


    The Zhang family¡¯s villa is not far away. This villa area is smaller than the Xie family¡¯s, but the garden is larger than the Xie family¡¯s.


    This villa is quite old, so there was no underground garage when it was built. Lu Yanzhou parked the car in the parking space next to the garden, then went to open the door for Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze, who carries a ¡®big head¡¯, clumsily got out of the car and looked around curiously.


    ¡°Little young master!¡± Old lady Wang came out of the room and choked when she saw Xie Chengze, ¡°Oh my little young master, I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to see you in this life.¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned before calling out, ¡°Grandma Wang.¡±


    Old lady Wang, whose gray hair was permed and curled, was very moved: ¡°little young master still remembers me! Come in, little young master, it¡¯s cold outside.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s equipment was airtight, he was also in the car all the way, so he wasn¡¯t cold but he still entered the house quickly.


    Old lady Wang kept revolving around Xie Chengze. It¡¯s a pity, she cannot do anything. She can only talk about things from the past: ¡°Little young master, you haven¡¯t been here for such a long time. I remember the last time you came here, you were almost as tall as me! However, this place now is the same as before with no difference¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze kept silent and went up to the third floor.


    The sterile room here has been sterilized several times. Now Xie Chengze can go in and sterilize it a few more times. After ensuring absolute safety, Xie Chengze can take off the suit.


    After entering the sterile room, Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou pitifully.


    Before, when the two talked through the sterile room, they had to raise their voice louder than usual. Now they have a protective suit and the machine is running¡­Now when Lu Yanzhou talks to Xie Chengze, it¡¯s more like shouting.


    However, now there are so many people, it¡¯s not very good to talk. Lu Yanzhou sat down next to the sterile room, then took a tablet, and with Xie Chengze, they watched the cat and mouse.


    Tom couldn¡¯t catch Jerry¡­Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t seen this before, his eyes narrowed with laughter.


    At the same time, Xie Yuan brought Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun home.


    Yesterday, Xie Chengyun¡¯s chat records were exposed, which made Xie Yuan very embarrassed, but it was not all bad.


    This morning, Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun went to the homes of those few people whose backgrounds were worse than the Xie family to apologize, then in the afternoon¡­he took Xie Chengyun and personally went to the two classmates with big backgrounds that Xie Chengyun had offended to apologize.


    Xie Chengyun speaks ill of people behind his back, which is very serious for children, but nothing to adults. Xie Yuan scolded Xie Chengyun in front of them after coming to the door, then sincerely apologized¡­Xie Chengyun¡¯s two classmates¡¯ parents all chose to forgive. Xie Yuan even used the apology to get on the line with others.


    It¡¯s a bit embarrassing, but it also expands his network.


    When they got home, Xie Yuan got out of the car first, and then Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun got out of the car.


    Back at the familiar home, Lu Qiqi gained some confidence: ¡°Husband, who do you think did the trick this time? That person is too bad, they actually harmed Chengyun!¡±


    ¡°If he doesn¡¯t talk about others behind their back, no one can hurt him even if they want to!¡± Xie Yuan sneered,


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t mean the culprit is allowed to go unpunished¡­¡±


    Xie Yuan is a little impatient: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll let someone check.¡±


    Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun were very happy to hear the words.


    After what happened yesterday, they have been looking for the person behind it, but they have found nothing.


    They felt that it must be Xie Chengyun¡¯s classmates who did this, but Xie Chengyun offended too many people, the scope was too large, so they couldn¡¯t find it.


    At this time, the butler came out: ¡°Master, madam, young master, you are back.¡±


    Xie Yuan ignored the housekeeper. Lu Qiqi asked, ¡°Is dinner ready?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s ready,¡± the butler said, and then asked unintentionally, ¡°Madam, the eldest young master moved out today, what should be done to the fourth floor? Should it be sealed or sorted out for other purposes?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by the eldest young master moving away?¡± Xie Yuan frowned.


    ¡°Master, you don¡¯t know? I thought you agreed.¡± The housekeeper is a little panicked.


    Xie Yuan said coldly: ¡°Explain it to me clearly!¡±


    The housekeeper did not dare to neglect, and quickly explained it.


    Lu Qiqi was dumbfounded. She has been looking after Xie Chengze, how could Xie Chengze move away? Where else can he go?


    Wait, Xie Chengze is rich, and he spends his own money for his treatment. Now that he wants to leave, he can naturally leave.


    It¡¯s just that Xie Chengze¡¯s move will inevitably require a new sterile room, which is all money!


    Those should all belong to her son, but Xie Chengze cannot be let down!


    Lu Yanzhou, this kid actually helped Xie Chengze with this kind of thing¡­If Xie Yuan wasn¡¯t by her side, Lu Qiqi would have called Lu Yanzhou right away to scold him.


    However, Xie Yuan is¡­


    Lu Qiqi looked at Xie Yuan¡¯s face.


    After Xie Yuan heard it, he sneered and entered the door. He had a cold face throughout the meal, no one knew what he was thinking.


    After dinner, Xie Yuan went upstairs alone.


    Lu Qiqi and Xie Chengyun waited for him to leave before they started talking.


    Xie Chengyun¡¯s thoughts were all about the fact that his chat records were seen.


    In fact, if he only scolded people, if people see it then they see it he dared to scold, why wouldn¡¯t he dare to admit it?


    However, after these chat records were released, everyone said that he was incompetent and talked big. He can do nothing besides scolding people behind their back. Because he even scolded his parents, everyone said that he is a white-eyed wolf.


    Xie Chengyun couldn¡¯t stand being criticized, and hated the person who did it.


    ¡°Mom, why is Lu Yanzhou so courageous? By the way, I offended him yesterday. Did he expose my chat records?¡± Xie Chengyun gritted his teeth.


    ¡°Probably not, how can he have the courage and he has no such ability.¡± Lu Qiqi disdain.


    Xie Chengyun also disliked that cousin Lu Yanzhou, so he no longer doubted, and only said: ¡°He is perfectly all right, what is he doing by taking that sick seedling out? Is he crazy?¡±


    ¡°Why else, it must be to get money from that sick seedling!¡± After Lu Qiqi finished speaking, her face changed greatly: ¡°Wait, he can secretly take that sick seedling away¡­Where will he go from here? How much money did that sick seedling give him?¡±


    At this moment, Xie Yuan came down from upstairs: ¡°Lu Qiqi, that nephew of yours is not simple. He even asked Chengze to send him a 300 square meters flat.¡±


    Lu Qiqi could feel that Xie Yuan is angry.


    She is also very angry.


    She has always regarded Xie Chengze¡¯s money as her own, but now Xie Chengze has given away a flat¡­


    There is no such big residence in her name!


    No wonder Lu Yanzhou came every day, so he coaxed so much money out of Xie Chengze!


    Now that he has taken Xie Chengze away and completely controls Xie Chengze, is it possible that Xie Chengze¡¯s money¡­will all be cheated by him?


    This man is too cunning!


    If she knew it would be like this, she would go to Xie Chengze every day before!

 CH 11

    Xie Yuan only told Lu Qiqi that Xie Chengze gave Lu Yanzhou a flat.


    In fact, in addition to getting a large flat from Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou also took 30 million from Xie Chengze¡¯s company.


    Xie Yuan also knew people in Xie Chengze¡¯s company. He didn¡¯t usually contact them, but he made a special contact just now, then he learned that his son had given Lu Yanzhou a luxury flat.


    He asked this person to check Lu Yanzhou again. After this investigation, he also learned that Lu Yanzhou had misappropriated 30 million from Xie Chengze ¡ª Lu Yanzhou graduated from history major, he doesn¡¯t know how to keep the accounts clean, so he naturally leaves many flaws.


    The courage of this person is really not small. How long will it take to steal 60 million from Xie Chengze?


    If things go on like this, Xie Chengze¡¯s money will be dug out by him sooner or later.


    Xie Yuan turned around and went out the door.


    Lu Qiqi waited for Xie Yuan to leave, then immediately called Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou answered Lu Qiqi¡¯s call among the running machine ¡®weng weng¡¯ sound, a voice scolding him immediately sounded: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you are very capable. You even took a flat from Xie Chengze without telling me! Are you so capable now? I¡¯m so unlucky. I even raised a white-eyed wolf!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was helpless.


    In the past 25 years of the original owner¡¯s life, he has indeed recieved a lot of help from Lu Qiqi.


    If nothing else, without Lu Qiqi, his father would be an ordinary security guard at most. He would never have the chance to earn 15,000 yuan a month and be a security leader with many year-end bonuses.


    Although the original owner¡¯s mother was an ordinary canteen aunt, she could earn 10,000 yuan a month. She also relied on her little sister-in-law Lu Qiqi.


    So no matter what Lu Qiqi said to him, he could only listen.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze¡¯s house belongs to the Xie family! You transfer the house to my name, forget about it! And Xie Chengze, you bring him back!¡± Lu Qiqi said.


    ¡°Aunt, AZe gave me the house, I can¡¯t transfer it to you,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Also, AZe doesn¡¯t want to live in Xie¡¯s house, so I won¡¯t send him back.¡±


    ¡°You won¡¯t listen to me anymore? Lu Yanzhou, do you really think you can fight against me by climbing on that short-lived ghost?¡± Lu Qiqi was angry.


    Lu Yanzhou wasn¡¯t angry at what Lu Qiqi said about himself, but he couldn¡¯t stand Lu Qiqi saying that Xie Chengze was ¡®short-lived¡¯: ¡°Aunt! Don¡¯t say that about Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t speak the truth?!¡± Lu Qiqi said.


    ¡°AZe is just not in good health!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re still protecting him!¡± Lu Qiqi hung up the call directly.


    Based on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s understanding of Lu Qiqi, Lu Qiqi will definitely go to his parents to complain.


    Forget it. Counter soldiers with arms, water with earth weir1.


    Lu Yanzhou returned to Xie Chengze and sat down next to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was wearing a special protective suit, so he couldn¡¯t eat, drink, or even go to the toilet.


    Thinking about it makes him uncomfortable¡­So when the others went to lunch, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t go and stayed with Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Who called you?¡± Xie Chengze asked loudly.


    ¡°My aunt.¡± Lu Yanzhou shouted.


    ¡°Did she scold you?¡± Xie Chengze asked. Lu Qiqi is not a good-tempered person. He has never seen Lu Qiqi dislike Lu Yanzhou before.


    He didn¡¯t care then, but now he does.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled and shouted, ¡°No, she is my aunt after all. She is still good to me.¡±


    Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou for a moment, then pouted and stopped talking.


    At this time, Xie Chengze¡¯s cell phone rang next to him ¡ª Xie Yuan called him.


    Xie Chengze was wearing a protective suit so he couldn¡¯t use his mobile phone, so he didn¡¯t want to pick it up and just ignored it.


    The phone rang once, then again, then stopped because no one answered. At this time, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cell phone also rang. It was from his mom.


    Lu Yanzhou waved to Xie Chengze with his mobile phone, then went to the balcony next to him to answer the call.


    ¡°Mom.¡± Lu Yanzhou called out.


    Mother Lu on the other end of the phone lowered her voice: ¡°Zhouzhou, what¡¯s going on? Your aunt called your dad and said that you cheated a flat from the Xie family¡¯s eldest young master.¡±


    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s nothing. That flat was given to me by Xie Chengze.¡±


    ¡°He had good intentions, but why did he give you the flat?¡±


    ¡°I accompany him every day, so he gives me a flat. Mom, do you not know that the Xie family doesn¡¯t care about him. He stays alone every day. I went to accompany him, so he treats me as a good friend.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. After finishing, he picked and told his mother something about Xie Chengze.


    Mother Lu listened and sympathized: ¡°Then he is so pitiful¡­¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s really pitiful. He only had me as a friend, so he gave me a flat. He has tens of billions of assets in his name with hundreds of properties, so a flat is nothing to him.¡± Lu Yanzhou comforted his mother.


    Mother Lu felt more relieved now, but still said, ¡°Your aunt is angry, your father is apologizing¡­¡±


    ¡°When dad finishes the phone call, I¡¯ll tell him.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Mother Lu naturally agreed.


    Lu Yanzhou told his mother what happened today.


    Lu Qiqi had said in front of the Lu family that Xie Chengze¡¯s money would be given to Xie Chengyun in the future, but at that time mother Lu didn¡¯t know that he had so much money. Now hearing Lu Yanzhou talk about it, she couldn¡¯t help but be amazed, and said, ¡°Your aunt is too much. The person is still alive, but she was thinking about it already¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou sighed.


    Lu Qiqi is really a well-known Sima Zhao, however, she is still better than those who have deep thoughts.


    Lu Yanzhou talked to his mother for a while. When father Lu finally finished the phone call with Lu Qiqi, Lu Yanzhou made a video call and explained it to him.


    Father Lu always listened to Lu Qiqi, but he also couldn¡¯t stop what his son wanted to do.


    And it was a flat worth ten millions. Since the other had already given it to his son, then his son shouldn¡¯t return it¡­He is not that noble.


    In the end, the middle-aged man just said, ¡°I can¡¯t handle this, so I won¡¯t care about it.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou comforted his parents then returned to Xie Chengze again to accompany Xie Chengze.


    He didn¡¯t stay with him for long before Xie Yuan came.


    The original owner had Xie Yuan¡¯s appearance in his memory, but this is the first time Lu Yanzhou met Xie Yuan.


    Xie Yuan is about the same age as the original owner¡¯s father. However, his appearance seems at least ten years younger than the original owner¡¯s father. He looks very similar to Xie Chengze. He looks very handsome with black hair and sharp eyes. His body also wasn¡¯t out of shape, it can be seen that he is a very strict self-management person.


    He glanced at Lu Yanzhou, then went to see Xie Chengze, with a mild tone: ¡°AZe, why did you suddenly think of moving?¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Xie Yuan blankly.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s loud here, and AZe is two floors away from us¡­He can¡¯t hear you if you talk like this.¡±


    Xie Yuan also realized this.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s sudden move is very unexpected to him. The sudden loss of his son, whom he had never taken seriously, made him even more unhappy.


    He came here to have a good talk with Xie Chengze, but now is obviously not a good time.


    He can¡¯t always yell here.


    What¡¯s more, looking at Xie Chengze¡¯s condition, he can see that there is a reason for him not answering the phone¡­Xie Yuan raised his voice: ¡°AZe, you can stay here for a few days¡­I will visit you often.¡±


    Xie Yuan said a few more words, then seeing that Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t hear, he went downstairs with a frown.


    Lu Yanzhou gestured to Xie Chengze. He followed him down, then stood at the entrance of the stairs, listening to Xie Yuan talking to old lady Wang.


    Xie Yuan¡¯s voice was very clear: ¡°I¡¯m busy with work, so I didn¡¯t take care of this child before. He must blame me in his heart.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I feel bad when I see him, so I always avoid him.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine for him to stay here for a few days. Please take care of him.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    What Xie Yuan said was very sincere. Anyway, old lady Wang believed it and was very moved.


    ¡°I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first and come back tomorrow.¡± Xie Yuan talked with old lady Wang for a moment before leaving.


    Seeing him leave, Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.


    This Xie Yuan is just an old fox. He and Xie Chengze can¡¯t tear face with him for now.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t take off his protective suit until eight o¡¯clock in the evening.


    It¡¯s not easy to take off the suit, so he was a little tired again. In the end, he was out of breath with a red face.


    ¡°AZe, you¡¯ve been tired for a day today. Eat something first, then take a bath and go to bed early.¡±


    However, Xie Chengze was a little unhappy: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you haven¡¯t talked to me all day.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment, then said, ¡°then, you go to eat and take a bath first. I¡¯ll take a bath, and then I¡¯ll come to accompany you and lay on the floor next to you to tell you a story?¡±


    They had just moved, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t feel at ease. Tonight, he planned to live next to this sterile room.


    Xie Chengze likes to be next to him. One can sleep on the inside, the other one on the outside, they can sleep next to each other.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    The third floor is quite large. Although Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room is placed there, there is still some spare space. There¡¯s even a bathroom.


    Lu Yanzhou had already made up his mind to live here. He had already spent money to buy a folding bed for him.


    As Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant, he can use Xie Chengze¡¯s ten millions assets, so he naturally can also direct people in the company to do things for him.


    As for whether people might be unhappy about it, that¡¯s another story.


    Lu Yanzhou asked old lady Wang to have the meal. After going downstairs to eat, he went to take a battle bath, and then took his folding bed upstairs.


    He put the foldable bed beside the plastic wrap then put a quilt on it.


    It¡¯s cold outside now, but fortunately, the villa is equipped with central air conditioning, so only a thin quilt is needed.


    Lu Yanzhou had just unpacked when he saw Xie Chengze come out of the shower.


    He was obviously in his twenties, but because he didn¡¯t see the sun all year round and lacked exercise, he saw that Xie Chengze, who was much younger than his actual age, was wearing old pajamas. His fair neck was probably rubbed in the shower, so it turned red.


    Lu Yanzhou took a few more glances, then decided to make Xie Chengze exercise more in the future.


    His skin is too delicate.


    Xie Chengze noticed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes while wiping his hair.


    His sterile room comes with purified water, but he doesn¡¯t usually take a shower¡ªin such a clean environment, he doesn¡¯t need to shower all the time.


    Today, he sweated after staying in the protective suit for a long time, so he took a shower.


    After showering, he saw that Lu Yanzhou had already made the bed and was staring at his open collar¡­Xie Chengze was a little puzzled.


    It was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s suggestion to move out this time. Lu Yanzhou also said that he would accompany him more after moving out, he thought that Lu Yanzhou was just saying it only.


    However, now..he seems to have guessed wrong?


    This week, Lu Yanzhou has been too kind to him, is this really just for money?


    different situations call for different action/to adopt measures appropriate to actual situation

 CH 12

    Xie Chengze thought a lot in his heart, but he didn¡¯t show it at all. He smiled at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I¡¯m going to move the bed!¡±


    ¡°Can you move it? Just move the mattress over here.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. Xie Chengze¡¯s mattress was very thin and wasn¡¯t heavy at all, however, that bed still had some weight.


    Xie Chengze really couldn¡¯t move the bed.


    However, if he only brought the mattress, his sleeping position would be lower than Lu Yanzhou¡­Wait, he has a sofa here!


    The things in Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room are as simple as possible. For example, his sofa is actually a piece of wood that is 1.8 meters long and 60 centimeters wide, it was covered with cowhide.


    It was about the same height as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s folding bed. Although it might not be comfortable to sleep in, he didn¡¯t care.


    Xie Chengze moved the sofa to the side of the plastic film and lay down happily.


    ¡°Won¡¯t it be uncomfortable to sleep like this?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°I want to sleep with you, brother Yanzhou.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Ordinary children have the experience of being held by their parents and sleeping with their parents, but Xie Chengze has never¡­Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I will ask someone to buy you a folding bed tomorrow.¡±


    The folding bed is easy to sterilize. If the width is smaller, it can pass through the sterilization pipe, so he can get one for Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you will sleep with me in the future?¡± Xie Chengze was very surprised.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Mm. Until you get better, I will accompany you.¡±


    Xie Chengze rolled his eyes and made another request: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, can you put your arm in?¡±


    There are several rubber gloves attached to the plastic film in this sterile room. The highest position is just right for Lu Yanzhou to reach in when he is standing. The lowest position is only fifty centimeters above the ground. When he was a kid, he was short so one could squat or sit to hug him.


    Lu Yanzhou happened to have a glove beside his bed, so he put his hand in it.


    Xie Chengze hugged his arm and said happily, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms were held by him like this, which was a bit uncomfortable, but he didn¡¯t move. He closed his eyes.


    His breathing was slow and steady. On the other side, Xie Chengze, who was holding his arm, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him seriously.


    The lights have been turned off, only a few small lights from the machine glow faintly.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s tall body was lying on the small folding bed, sleeping soundly.


    Xie Chengze hugged his arms tightly and slowly fell asleep.


    Xie Chengze has never had a good sleep. He was always sleepy, but when he really went to sleep, he couldn¡¯t fall asleep. When he finally fell asleep, it was still difficult for him to fall asleep because he has always dreamt.


    However, tonight, he slept exceptionally well.


    Xie Chengze slept until the sun came in through the window, and then he was stunned.


    They went to bed after nine o¡¯clock last night. Recently the days are short and the nights are long, the sun is coming in now, was it seven or eight o¡¯clock?


    He had never slept for so long.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, and saw that Lu Yanzhou was looking at him with a smile.


    He was a little embarrassed: ¡°I slept too long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good to have a long sleep,¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed, ¡°but it¡¯s time to get up, let¡¯s have breakfast together?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze got up.


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou withdraw his already numb arm.


    Xie Chengze has been holding his arm tightly. His arm has long been numb, but seeing Xie Chengze sleeping soundly, it is not easy for him to pull his arm back.


    Xie Chengze is his life-and-death friend. Now he is just sleeping with his arm, he can¡¯t refuse.


    However, it¡¯s really quite numb¡­Lu Yanzhou felt that his arms didn¡¯t feel like his.


    Putting on his coat awkwardly, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll go down and get breakfast.¡±


    Old lady Wang had come up before, but when she saw that they were sleeping, she went back down quietly.


    He told old lady Wang yesterday that he would eat and live here in the future. The old lady might have already come to ask him to have breakfast before.


    ¡°Is your arm uncomfortable?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°It¡¯s just a little numb, it¡¯s alright.¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he went downstairs.


    Xie Chengze was lying on the plastic film, somewhat confused.


    Lu Yanzhou was not like this before.


    Lu Yanzhou did this to him because he was afraid that he would know about the 30 million? However, even if Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t treat him like this, he wouldn¡¯t mind the 30 million. Lu Yanzhou should be very clear about that.


    Lu Yanzhou obviously doesn¡¯t need to do so much.


    Xie Chengze was thinking so when he saw Lu Yanzhou coming up with a big bowl of fried rice with eggs.


    Old lady Wang lives alone and eats very simply. Because her blood sugar is too high, the doctor does not recommend her to drink gruel. The most common thing she eats for breakfast is egg fried rice ¡ª She cooks rice once a day at noon and eats it for three meals a day.


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou ate here last night, she was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would have enough to eat, so she cooked more rice. They could only eat egg fried rice this morning.


    However, old lady Wang is also a very particular person. This egg fried rice uses very little oil. It also contains shredded cabbage, shredded carrots and diced pork, which is quite nutritious.


    At first, the old lady was worried that Lu Yanzhou would dislike it, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t pick on it at all. He was satisfied and said, ¡°AZe, the egg fried rice made by Grandma Wang is delicious. When you are well, let her fry it for you too.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    Afraid that Xie Chengze would not be used to here yet, Lu Yanzhou did not leave the villa today.


    However, he called the two employees, who were investing with the original owner, asking them to buy some things to send over, including but not limited to folding beds, desks, computers, and others for Xie Chengze¡­


    The desk and computer were placed by Lu Yanzhou on the open space next to the sterile room, so that he could work here and guard Xie Chengze by the way.


    Those two employees both graduated from prestigious schools, but now they are doing this, they are a little unhappy.


    However, looking at their boss saying ¡®brother Yanzhou¡¯ to Lu Yanzhou, and then thinking about the salary and the extra overtime pay for them to help¡­


    Well, they are willing to help a few more times!


    It¡¯s just¡­They didn¡¯t expect their big boss to be like this!


    Lu Yanzhou hugged the boss¡¯s thigh and was able to parachute into the company. Do they even have a chance to hug him?


    Of course, there¡¯s no chance.


    Most of the time, Xie Chengze does things according to his own will. He also ignores most people.


    In the beginning, it was useless for Lu Qiqi to please him. Because of this, Lu Qiqi brought in her nephew.


    After the two employees finish with their work, they could only leave in despair. They felt that although Lu Yanzhou was incompetent, he was really good at flattering and coaxing the boss!


    Lu Yanzhou did coax Xie Chengze very well, after all, Xie Chengze¡¯s requirements were very low.


    As long as Lu Yanzhou stayed by his side and talked to him, he was already very happy.


    On this day, Xie Yuan did not come, but he called Xie Chengze and said something to him.


    Xie Chengze listened absentmindedly, then hung up the phone to chat with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was originally worried that he would had deep feelings for the Xie family and would not be used to it when he left, but now that he seems happy¡­Lu Yanzhou is relieved.


    The next afternoon, Lu Yanzhou took the time to go out.


    After Xie Chengze transferred the property to him, he used the property certificate to apply for a loan from the bank.


    Ordinary people apply for a loan, the review time will be very long. After all, it has to go through many processes, however, Xie Chengze¡¯s company has a lot of contacts with the bank. This is an asset-backed loan, so it was approved quickly.


    The flat was worth 30 million, in the end, the loan reached 18 million. He has two years to pay the money and interest back.


    The bank manager put the money into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s account: ¡°Now the flow of the loan is to be checked. You can¡¯t use this money to buy a house.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not buying a house.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    His classmate, Zhao Chaoyuan, is very reliable. His work efficiency is also fast. Two days ago, the first fund of 30 million yuan had been used. He had gained a lot of merit.


    He has no time to take care of this matter before, but now that he has money, he continues to look for Zhao Chaoyuan.


    Lu Yanzhou called Zhao Chaoyuan again.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I was just looking for you. Our association is going to send you a trophy¡­¡± Zhao Chaoyuan answered the phone and asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need a trophy, I just want you to spend my money as soon as possible.¡±


    This requirement is really special¡­Zhao Chaoyuan said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will spend your money first!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, by the way, I would like to donate another sum of money.¡±


    ¡°You want to donate money again? How much?¡± Zhao Chaoyuan asked.


    ¡°20 million.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. The original owner had some savings, a car and some luxury items, including the gifts that Xie Chengze had given the original owner¡­He sold everything that could be sold and got 2 million.


    Zhao Chaoyuan: ¡°!!!¡±

 CH 13

    Lu Yanzhou was really anxious.


    Xie Chengze has no immunity at all, it¡¯s really too easy for people around him to hurt him.


    As long as the sterile room is destroyed, he will die of infection.


    Originally there were 20 to 30 million Indians, but because of the infectious diseases brought by the Europeans, they were reduced to one million.


    The Eskimos, who were once isolated from the world, were also unable to resist the foreign bacteria and viruses. In the end, most of them died.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s situation was worse than theirs. A single breath of unsterilized air could give him a serious lung infection and kill him.


    In fact, most people with the disease die shortly after birth.


    According to the original historical trajectory, Xie Chengze died at the hands of the original owner. However, the one who really wanted him to die was not the original owner.


    If those people still plan to do it¡­


    However, even if they don¡¯t do it, he still can¡¯t let Xie Chengze go on like this.


    The day after the loan arrived, Lu Yanzhou went to Zhao Chaoyuan.


    After he transferred the money to Zhao Chaoyuan¡¯s institution, he took a taxi to Xie Chengze¡¯s doctor and asked about Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition.


    ¡°If he was taken good care of and felt comfortable, he can live longer, however, it¡¯s difficult to cure¡­¡± The doctor said to Lu Yanzhou.


    As doctors, they cannot tell outsiders about Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition, except those authorized by Xie Chengze.


    When moving house a few days ago, Xie Chengze authorized Lu Yanzhou.


    In fact, he is a little worried that Xie Chengze was deceived by his assistant Lu Yanzhou. However, when he thought that Xie Chengze¡¯s father had never cared about Xie Chengze but his assistant was thinking about improving Xie Chengze¡¯s living conditions, he wasn¡¯t too concerned about it anymore.


    As for Xie Chengze¡¯s lifespan¡­They all thought that Xie Chengze would not live to be thirty years old.


    However, Xie Chengze¡¯s condition seems to be good recently. He is urged by Lu Yanzhou to exercise, maintain a good life, and take good care of him, he might be able to live longer.


    Of course, if there¡¯s no accident then maybe.


    For example, it is a trivial matter for an ordinary person to get appendicitis, but if Xie Chengze gets it, he may be in a life-threatening situation ¡ª it takes more toll on him than for ordinary people.


    Lu Yanzhou wrote down all the precautions before going back.


    Afraid of accidents, Lu Yanzhou locked the third floor when he went out. When he came back, seeing that Xie Chengze was fine, he finally felt relieved: ¡°AZe, I¡¯m back.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I miss you so much!¡± Xie Chengze smiled at Lu Yanzhou, his face squished on the plastic film again.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help smiling. He temporarily put aside the many worries in his heart. He walked over and touched his head: ¡°I won¡¯t go out for the next few days, I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has been here for 10 days now.


    He has done a lot, but there¡¯s still a lot to do.


    He plans to find someone to come over tomorrow to fill the villa with cameras to ensure Xie Chengze¡¯s safety, and then call his parents over to live in and help take care of him.


    He originally wanted to hire someone, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate. If the person invited is bribed to do something, he has no way of guarding against it.


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou finally thought of his parents.


    Those were his parents. He could explain the seriousness of the matter to them, tell them that someone wanted to harm Xie Chengze, and that he would have to take responsibility if anything occurs¡­Under such circumstances, his parents would definitely take care of Xie Chengze.


    Of course, there is another reason for Lu Yanzhou to do this ¡ª Lu Qiqi called father Lu and asked him to return the house. After they did not do it, Lu Qiqi asked Xie company to notify father Lu and mother Lu that they don¡¯t need to go to work anymore.


    The old couple was panicking when they lost their jobs, so it was just right for them to come here to work.


    As for old lady Wang, old lady Wang belongs to the Zhang¡¯s family and can be trusted. However, father Xie tell his feelings in front of old lady Wang before and old lady Wang also believed father Xie, so Lu Yanzhou naturally did not dare to trust her 100%.


    Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze about his plans.


    Xie Chengze agreed without thinking: ¡°I will listen to you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°You¡­you¡¯re like this, if one day you were sold, you will also help them count the money.¡±


    Xie Chengze laughed: ¡°No way.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou originally wanted Xie Chengze to learn more and become independent. However, although Xie Chengze does not reject learning, he has no interest in financial knowledge at all.


    Besides, now Xie Chengze is still learning to read every day. He doesn¡¯t know how long it will take him to learn how to manage a company.


    Lu Yanzhou could only do it himself first.


    It¡¯s just that when he came here, his power and memory were sealed, so now he needs to learn it from scratch.


    Fortunately, his learning speed is much faster than ordinary people¡­Not to mention, during this time, whenever he is free, he will go to learn about the companies in the market, as well as the companies that Xie Chengze holds shares in. He already knows the general situation.


    Next¡­Lu Yanzhou plans to clean up Xie Chengze¡¯s teams. He wants to expel or marginalize those people, who are just like the original owner, who don¡¯t know how to do business and don¡¯t take Xie Chengze seriously.


    Lu Yanzhou moved his laptop desk to the side of the plastic sheet and worked for a few hours, then moved the laptop desk away and made the folding bed to sleep in.


    It was troublesome to do this all the time, but Xie Chengze liked being next to him, so he tried to stay beside the plastic wrap.


    At night, Lu Yanzhou gave Xie Chengze his arm to hold on as usual.


    After his arm went numb the first night, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t make this request again the next day, but he still stretched his arm¡­Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t stand the temptation and hugged Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm.


    It was the same today, Xie Chengze on the folding bed happily hugged Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm.


    It was still early, so Lu Yanzhou did not rush to sleep, but took out a financial book and read it to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze fell asleep in a moment.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°..¡±


    Lu Yanzhou watched for a while before adjusting his posture and lay down to sleep.


    The next day, the person Lu Yanzhou looked for came to the villa to install the surveillance camera.


    In order to ensure safety, he installed several sets of surveillance cameras, and even installed seven or eight next to the sterile room.


    When the workers installed surveillance cameras, Xie Chengze was watching them curiously.


    Xie Chengze previously said that the surveillance on the fourth floor in Xie¡¯s house was not on because he didn¡¯t like it¡­Lu Yanzhou was afraid that he would also dislike it, so he asked: ¡°These surveillance cameras are installed for your safety, can you keep them on? If they are on, I can see you anytime.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    Lu Yanzhou continues: ¡°I also installed surveillance cameras downstairs. Wait a while and do as I say. We¡¯ll install an app on your tablet so you can see the rest of the house and know where I went.¡±


    It might be boring for Xie Chengze to stay in the sterile room all day. If he left for a while, Xie Chengze would be unhappy¡­Lu Yanzhou would simply let him watch the surveillance.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He was about to find a way to install a few surveillance cameras in this villa, but Lu Yanzhou did just that.


    Xie Chengze was playing with the tablet, looking very strange.


    Lu Yanzhou continues: ¡°When my parents will come over, I¡¯ll go settle them¡­You can see me on the surveillance then.¡±


    ¡°Mm!¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    The two were talking when father Lu and mother Lu came.


    Although Xie¡¯s side told father Lu and mother Lu not to go to work, they did not officially terminate the contract, so they were not fired.


    The two originally planned to go to Lu Qiqi to beg for mercy, but Lu Yanzhou went to them and asked them to work with Xie Chengze.


    Compared with the sister, their son is more important. Recently, their son has a good temper and starts to be nice to them. They don¡¯t want to make their son unhappy at all.


    The old couple packed up and came over, planning to cook for their son.


    There are many rooms in this villa. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t use the room that Zhang¡¯s family lived in before for his parents. He found a room for them to live in, and then told them that Xie Chengze was very rich and was in poor health so someone wanted to harm Xie Chengze. Having said that, he added: ¡°Dad, Mom, I am Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant now, and I have been taking care of him. If he has an accident, I will also go to jail. You must help me watch and don¡¯t let others hurt him. ¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu were taken aback: ¡°this¡­there¡¯s someone trying to harm him?¡± They were ordinary people, they were scared to death just hearing such a thing!


    ¡°Mom, dad, you don¡¯t have to do much. You can just go to the third floor and observe more.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Who in the world is going to hurt the young master?¡± Father Lu couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Aunt also wishes he had an accident? And uncle¡­¡±


    Father Lu sucked in a breath.


    ¡°Mom, dad, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. It¡¯s against the law, and they won¡¯t necessarily do anything.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled and comforted them.


    Only then did father Lu and mother Lu feel relieved.


    After father Lu and mother Lu were settled, Lu Yanzhou went to old lady Wang again and said that his parents would help them here in the future.


    Old lady Wang is a little puzzled: ¡°Why don¡¯t you find someone else?¡±


    ¡°AZe¡¯s situation is special, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not safe to find someone who doesn¡¯t know the root cause.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Old lady Wang said, ¡°Alright.¡±


    Old lady Wang had no opinion, so the matter was settled.


    This villa was built early and is located in the city center. There are supermarkets and vegetable markets nearby. It takes about 20 minutes to get there if they walk.


    Young people think it¡¯s a little far, but older people think it¡¯s nothing. Before, old lady Wang used to walk alone every day to buy vegetables. Now that father Lu and mother Lu came, she took mother Lu to buy vegetables and also memorized the way by the way.


    Lu Yanzhou was very busy. Seeing that they were having a good conversation, he went to the third floor again to deal with the company affairs and accompany Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s company really has a lot of problems, even if he is still a layman, he can see a lot¡­


    Looking at it, Lu Yanzhou glanced at the calendar and suddenly realized that in two days, it would be Christmas Eve.


    He doesn¡¯t have the habit of doing anything on Christmas Eve, but Xie Chengze is like a child now. Maybe he might want christmas gifts?


    As for what christmas gift to give¡­Lu Yanzhou thought of the protective suit Xie Chengze had worn before.


    He can put on the clothes so after disinfection, he could enter through the disinfection pipe to accompany Xie Chengze.


    He has no money at all in his account now, so he can¡¯t give gifts, that¡¯s all he can do.

 CH 14

    Sending things to Xie Chengze must pass through the disinfection pipeline.


    This pipe is quite large and is divided into three parts. The one that communicates with the outside is called the front room, the middle room is in the center, and the part that connects to Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room is called the back room.


    The diameter of the entire pipe is almost one meter, so people can enter it. Xie Chengyun, the arrogant child, has entered before, and was sprayed with disinfectant all over his face.


    On Christmas Eve, Lu Yanzhou gave Xie Chengze some apple slices and told him the story of Santa Claus by the way.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, did you receive christmas presents when you were a child?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°No.¡± He really didn¡¯t receive christmas gifts. In his original life, his parents died early and he had been living with his grandparents, who didn¡¯t even know what christmas is.


    What about the original owners years before? Father Lu and mother Lu are not the kind of people who really care about these things.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll give you a christmas present.¡± Xie Chengze ate a slice of apple with a satisfied look on his face.


    Recently, Lu Yanzhou gave him a lot of food that he had never eaten before, all of them were delicious and he liked them all.


    It¡¯s a pity that Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t give him more food.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lu Yanzhou said at this time, ¡°Eating too much will make your stomach upset, stop eating and brush your teeth.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t need to brush my teeth before.¡± Xie Chengze muttered.


    ¡°So we have to develop that habit from now on.¡± Lu Yanzhou nodded his head.


    Xie Chengze used to eat special paste. It doesn¡¯t matter whether he brushes his teeth or not then, but didn¡¯t he give Xie Chengze a lot of snacks recently?


    Xie Chengze must brush his teeth!


    When he comes out of the sterile room later, he will have to take a shower.


    ¡°Okay¡­¡± Xie Chengze went to his bathroom to brush his teeth.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s bathroom was connected to his bedroom. The inside could not be seen from the outside.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw him go in, he changed into a protective suit. After repeated inspections, he entered the front room of the disinfection pipeline.


    After he went in, the door to the front room closed, followed by a spray of disinfectant on him.


    After he was disinfectant in the front room, he was conveyed to the center room, where he was more thoroughly sterilized.


    It took a lot of time to sterilize in the middle room. After the sterilization was finished, he was sent to the back room. Here, he had to undergo the final sterilization. When the sterilization here was completed, Xie Chengze could open the door from the inside and let him in.


    The door connecting the back room to the sterile room was made of transparent material. However, because of the disinfectant, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t see what was inside, and only faintly saw Xie Chengze coming out.


    He squeezed into a less spacious space and waved at Xie Chengze.


    During this period of time, Xie Chengze¡¯s life really has undergone earth-shaking changes.


    In the past, he was alone, day after day, year after year. Even if he could chat with people online, he felt that life was meaningless.


    However, recently, Lu Yanzhou has filled his life.


    He goes to bed early and gets up early, getting enough sleep. He learns this and that during the day, occasionally skips a few times, and then eats something fresh¡­His mentality is getting better and better, he even starts to look forward to tomorrow!


    He also liked Lu Yanzhou more and more and always observed Lu Yanzhou.


    He found that Lu Yanzhou was not all hypocritical towards him, this person really cared about him.


    He is not satisfied with silently liking Lu Yanzhou anymore.


    After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Xie Chengze began to look at the mirror. He scratched his hair with water, and changed into a baggy pajamas, exposing his collarbone and a little piece of his chest.


    He seems¡­a little too thin.


    But maybe Lu Yanzhou likes this! Xie Chengze came out of the bedroom and looked at the place where the plastic film was, but Lu Yanzhou was not there.


    He was lost for a moment, then suddenly heard the disinfection pipeline running.


    A man in a protective suit squeezed into the disinfection pipe and was waving at him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s breath was stagnant, his heart was beating faster and faster, his heart was full.


    When Xie Chengyun did this, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t let him in. He just watched coldly, but this time¡­Once the sterilization was over, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t wait to open the door immediately.


    Before Lu Yanzhou could come in, he already hugged the round helmet that Lu Yanzhou was wearing and kissed it: ¡°Brother Yanzhou! Brother Yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give myself to you as christmas present.¡± Lu Yanzhou climbed out of the disinfection pipe and shook his head.


    Wearing this protective suit is really uncomfortable. Now that the helmet is covered with mist because of his own breath, it makes him unable to see Xie Chengze¡¯s expression.


    However, he could feel Xie Chengze¡¯s excitement ¨C Xie Chengze was about to hang on to him!


    Being hugged by Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He hugged the person who was jumping around him: ¡°Be careful, lest you fall!


    The mist in the valuable protective suit slowly disappeared, then Lu Yanzhou faced a red face.


    Xie Chengze looked at him intently and kissed him while holding his helmet¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.


    Taking a deep breath, Lu Yanzhou calmed down. However, he noticed that the pajamas on Xie Chengze were about to fall off.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°AZe, pull up your clothes, don¡¯t get cold.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Wear them properly even if it¡¯s not cold.¡± Lu Yanzhou reached out and pulled Xie Chengze¡¯s clothes.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, took a step back, and untied the straps of his pajamas¡­Just as Lu Yanzhou was about to say something, he saw him begin to dress seriously.


    Well¡­ Lu Yanzhou subconsciously looked away.


    Xie Chengze said again at this time: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I have very few clothes¡­buy me some clothes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll buy it for you tomorrow.¡± Lu Yanzhou realized his negligence.


    Xie Chengze has very few clothes. Although he lives in a sterile room and doesn¡¯t change much, young people should also have some nice clothes.


    He can buy more sets of clothes that young people like and give them to Xie Chengze to wear.


    Xie Chengze said again: ¡°I want underwear!¡±


    For some reason, Lu Yanzhou felt a little uncomfortable: ¡°I see.¡±


    He originally wanted others to buy clothes for Xie Chengze, but now it¡¯s up to him to go to the mall tomorrow to buy them.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou again and refused to let go.


    Lu Yanzhou has been with Xie Chengze every day these past few days. He had already finished what he wanted to say, so he hugged Xie Chengze quietly.


    Xie Chengze suddenly said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I like you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°I like you too.¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I¡¯m talking about that like, not the ordinary like, but¡­it¡¯s the like between husband and wife. Brother Yanzhou, I want to marry you and be together forever.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned: ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°I said I like you and I want to marry you.¡± Xie Chengze kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s helmet again.


    Lu Yanzhou grabbed his shoulder subconsciously: ¡°AZe, we are both men!¡±


    ¡°So what?¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t care.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t talk nonsense. You have contact with very few people, so this kind of illusion arises. Your feelings for me should not be love¡­You are like a young bird now, no, can¡¯t say that either¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what to say for a while.


    Being confessed by his good brother, he can¡¯t handle it!


    After he met Xie Chengze, the two had experienced many ups and downs together. He can say with certainty that Xie Chengze is the most important person in his life.


    He also believes that for Xie Chengze, he is also the most important.


    However, that is brotherhood.


    He has always regarded Xie Chengze as his brother!


    Not to mention Xie Chengze. When he first met Xie Chengze, he learned that Xie Chengze came from the world of immortal cultivation, and he was also cultivating the ruthless dao.


    As far as Xie Chengze¡¯s cultivation is concerned, he shouldn¡¯t have feelings at all!


    When he was in the administration, who didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze was the most unselfish one? Xie Chengze has never been influenced by his emotions.


    Even if he went to Xie Chengze every day, pestering Xie Chengze and having a good relationship with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze would still isolate him.


    However, Xie Chengze confessed to him now.


    No, it can¡¯t be said that Xie Chengze confessed to him, in fact, it was Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments that confessed to him.


    What exactly is going on?


    Why is this happening?


    However, if he thinks about it, it doesn¡¯t seem surprising.


    Xie Chengze in this world has lived in a sterile room since he was a child, and he has only met a few people. He paid more attention to Xie Chengze, so Xie Chengze¡¯s feelings for him deepened¡­


    However, it¡¯s not love, it¡¯s just attachment.


    If Xie Chengze is in good health and has been held in the hands of others since he was a child, with a large group of suitors, this will definitely not occur!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what to say, however, Xie Chengze repeated: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I really love you.¡±


    ¡°AZe, if you had more contact with people, you wouldn¡¯t feel that way. You wouldn¡¯t fall in love with me easily, maybe you would like a beautiful girl¡­Wait, that¡¯s not right¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou suddenly shut up.


    It¡¯s wrong for Xie Chengze to like him, and it¡¯s also not good for Xie Chengze to like someone else.


    If Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments leave a cause and effect in the small world, what will Xie Chengze do when Xie Chengze recovers?


    The key is that Xie Chengze has a lot of soul fragments. If every soul fragment likes a person¡­Then in the end, won¡¯t he be in the shura field?


    Xie Chengze has such a character. He thought that even if Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments changed in character, it would not change too much, however, the fact¡­


    The Xie Chengze in this world is really very different from the Xie Chengze he knew before.


    In the past, Xie Chengze was strong, ruthless and wary, but now Xie Chengze is a little cutie who believes everything others say.


    Lu Yanzhou had a headache.


    However, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know anything and still looked at him with a smile, grabbing his hand and playing with his fingers.


    ¡°AZe, why do you like me?¡± Lu Yanzhou finally asked.


    ¡°I just like you.¡± Xie Chengze leaned on Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I think you will always be with me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart had been chaotic for a long while now, but now he finally calmed down.


    Xie Chengze attached great importance to him and wished to be with him all the time, he should have confessed to him because he did not want to be separated from him.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°You are still young, don¡¯t say love or what not¡­You can rest assured that I will never be separated from you, but this is not love, do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Then what is this?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°This is brotherhood, you are my good brother.¡± Lu Yanzhou said decisively.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Although he was confessed by his good brother, Xie Chengze is still a child who didn¡¯t really understand anything.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly adjusted his state and planned to educate Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, you have to distinguish between different feelings, such as love, whether you want to kiss and hug or even¡­¡±


    ¡°I just want to kiss and hug you!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± This topic can¡¯t be continued!


    Besides, he and Xie Chengze seem to be a little too close. Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t understand anything, maybe it¡¯s because of this that he confuses his feelings.


    When he goes out, he will immediately look for books that describe teenager¡¯s emotional problems. He will reads it himself first, then showed it to Xie Chengze too!


    He used to think that Xie Chengze kissed him through the plastic film and he kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s cheek is okay, but thinking about it now, they really shouldn¡¯t do it.


    In the future, he must keep a distance from Xie Chengze.


    Thinking so, Lu Yanzhou stretched out his hand to block Xie Chengze¡¯s head that was about to kissed him again: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t kiss like this¡­¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t like me?¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    How could he not like Xie Chengze!


    Xie Chengze is already so pitiful, how could he still hurt him?


    Isn¡¯t it just a kiss, it¡¯s really nothing. He will just slowly teach him in the future.


    Lu Yanzhou withdrew his hand and let Xie Chengze stick to him and kiss his helmet.


    When Xie Chengze kissed his transparent helmet, he could see Xie Chengze¡¯s squashed lips, sometimes even his entire face was deformed.


    However, he don¡¯t know why¡­Lu Yanzhou just thought that he was cute.


    T/N: Oh, the ¡®bromance¡¯ strikes again

 CH 15

    Although there¡¯s a accident,Lu Yanzhou still stayed and accompanied Xie Chengze.


    However, he didn¡¯t mention a word about the love topic for fear that he would say too much, Xie Chengze might penetrate into a bull¡¯s horn1 for this incident.


    Lu Yanzhou used to urge Xie Chengze to sleep at 9:30 every day, but today, he stayed in the sterile room until after 10 o¡¯clock before leaving.


    After leaving the sterile room¡­ Lu Yanzhou looked cold but obviously still stirred up, saying to Xie Chengze who didn¡¯t want to sleep: ¡°It¡¯s time for you to go to bed!¡±


    Xie Chengze lay down obediently, then asked Lu Yanzhou for an arm.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower. Sleep by yourself today, okay?¡± Lu Yanzhou tried to distance himself from him.


    ¡°I always have nightmares when I sleep alone.¡± Xie Chengze blinked at Lu Yanzhou, his tone was soft ¡ª basically as long as he showed a little pitiful appearance, Lu Yanzhou would agree to his request.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed and said, ¡°Then wait for me.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s complexion has improved a lot recently, and he really slept soundly with his arm in his arms¡­


    It¡¯s just hugging his arm, he really can¡¯t refuse Xie Chengze.


    On christmas day, Lu Yanzhou woke up earlier than Xie Chengze as usual. When he woke up, Xie Chengze was still hugging his arm and was sleeping soundly.


    Strange to say, after his arm was held by Xie Chengze for a period of time, he gradually got used to it and it stopped being numb.


    Xie Chengze slept facing him. His face is next to his rubber gloved arm, his face was squished¡­


    He always seems to see Xie Chengze¡¯s face squeezed into various shapes?


    Lu Yanzhou looked at him seriously. After looking for a long while, he saw Xie Chengze¡¯s eyelashes move.


    He looked away, took out his phone, and pretended not to notice from watching the news.


    Before, he would have waited for Xie Chengze to wake up and the two would look at each other¡­but now he felt a little embarrassed to do so.


    There was a small movement on the arm, then Xie Chengze¡¯s voice soon came: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, good morning.¡±


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou look at Xie Chengze: ¡°Are you awake?¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze nodded and let go of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm.


    Half of his face was red. He looked at Lu Yanzhou a little dazed, and yawned again.


    Lu Yanzhou looked away: ¡°I¡¯m going to wash first.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he went to the bathroom next to him to wash up.


    The bathroom on the third floor is quite small, but it can be used. Lu Yanzhou simply washed and said to Xie Chengze, ¡°I¡¯ll go down for breakfast and be back soon.¡±


    Xie Chengze lay down on the plastic film and said to Lu Yanzhou, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I¡¯m waiting for you, you have to come back quickly¡­¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou heard what he said, he couldn¡¯t help feeling distressed.


    With no one to accompany Xie Chengze, he could only stand there and wait for him to come back.


    After Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents came to the villa, they took the salary of a live-in housekeeper, which was paid by Xie Chengze¡¯s company. 7,000 for each one per month. They are responsible for cooking, cleaning the villa, gardening and so on.


    This is much less than what they get from working in the Xie¡¯s company, especially Father Lu. Their income is directly cut in half.


    After Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze away from the Xie family, it was impossible for his parents to work in the Xie¡¯s company anymore, not to mention that the Xie¡¯s company has a problem with funds now. It may fall at any point, so it is good to work here.


    Lu Yanzhou went downstairs and saw father Lu and mother Lu cleaning.


    Although the villa is large, the third floor does not need to be cleaned, and the rooms on the second floor where Zhang¡¯s family lived in the past have been sealed, so there are not many places that need to be cleaned.


    ¡°Zhouzhou, you¡¯re up? There are porridge and steamed buns in the kitchen.¡± Mother Lu said.


    Now all the meals at home are made by Mother Lu. She is good at food made from flour, so she makes some steamed buns and freezes them. In the morning, she steamed a few and cooked a pot of porridge.


    The buns made by Mother Lu tasted average, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t nitpick on them.


    He ate a bun with mushrooms, carrot and egg, then a meat bun and a bowl of porridge, then said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going upstairs.¡±


    ¡°Okay, you work hard.¡± Mother Lu said.


    In the past few days, mother Lu sometimes went to the third floor to have a look, and every time she saw her son working diligently in front of the laptop.


    She felt that it was not easy for her son to earn an annual salary of one million, he was very busy every day.


    ¡°I will.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Upstairs, Xie Chengze put down the tablet where he could see from the surveillance camera, and like every time before, he looked at the door and waited for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arrival.


    He was a little impulsive by confessing last night, but he had also thought it through.


    Lu Yanzhou had just taken so much money from him, even if he confessed, he would not leave him.


    However, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reaction¡­


    If Lu Yanzhou was with him only for money, he would definitely accept his confession, right?


    He has such a body, even if Lu Yanzhou agrees, they can¡¯t do anything. There is a high probability that they will still get along like they are now.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou left the villa and started another family outside, he wouldn¡¯t know¡ªat least in the eyes of others, he wouldn¡¯t know.


    However, Lu Yanzhou did not agree and tried to educate him instead.


    Thinking of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reaction yesterday, Xie Chengze is in a good mood.


    As far as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s behavior was concerned¡­ Lu Yanzhou really felt sorry for him, and he is also very indulgent too.


    In addition, Lu Yanzhou did not show any rejection toward his confession.


    He has a chance to catch Lu Yanzhou, if¡­if he is not sick.


    When Xie Chengze thought of his body, his heart sank.


    It is impossible for him to fall in love like normal people, he can die at any time.


    However, before dying, it would be nice to have a sweet dream, right? He is selfish. Even if he couldn¡¯t be with Lu Yanzhou, he wanted Lu Yanzhou to like him and hoped that when he died in the future, Lu Yanzhou would still remember him.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou!¡± As soon as the door opened, Xie Chengze shouted and waved to Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou sighed secretly.


    Xie Chengze paid too much attention to him because he had been in contact with too few people.


    He must speed up the progress to accumulate merits to restore Xie Chengze¡¯s health, so that Xie Chengze can leave the sterile room and live like an ordinary person.


    Like this, Xie Chengze should not confess to him and say those astonishing words again, right?


    Lu Yanzhou was thinking about it when he heard Xie Chengze say, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I like you so much. I want to kiss you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou tried to reason with Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, you can¡¯t say things like this¡­¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Xie Chengze looked puzzled.


    Lu Yanzhou is a little helpless. Xie Chengze had been isolated from the world before. He doesn¡¯t understand things, his thoughts and words are like a child¡­


    How should he teach him? He had no previous experience in this area.


    Lu Yanzhou can only say: ¡°I can¡¯t say anyway¡­Have you eaten? If you haven¡¯t eaten, go eat quickly. I¡¯ll work for a while, then I¡¯ll go out to buy clothes for you later.¡±


    ¡°Mm, I want you to buy me underwear.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou went out in the afternoon and bought a lot of clothes for Xie Chengze.


    He really wants to dress up Xie Chengze, but thinking of Xie Chengze¡¯s condition, he finally chose some comfortable sportswear.


    After buying the clothes, Lu Yanzhou came to the shopping mall parking lot, ready to drive home.


    He originally owned an expensive car, the original owner¡¯s previous salary was basically used to buy a car.


    However, the car is sold by him¡­Fortunately, he still has a scooter that his father bought seven or eight years ago, it can still be driven.


    As a result, as soon as Lu Yanzhou approached his car, he saw a person who he had been ¡®thinking about¡¯ standing next to his car, as if he had just gotten off the car parked next to him.


    An Chenyuan, Xie Yuan¡¯s illegitimate son and someone whom the original owner liked when he was a student.


    An Chenyuan looks a little bit similar to Xie Chengze, of course one can¡¯t tell if they don¡¯t take a closer look. The two¡¯ temperament is even more different.


    Xie Chengze is pure and innocent, but this person is like a wealthy flower in the world with famous brands all over his body.


    This is also in line with what he has been telling others, his family situation is correct ¡ª An Chenyuan¡¯s external statement is that he is a little rich second generation.


    ¡°Senior Lu?¡± As soon as An Chenyuan saw Lu Yanzhou, he greeted him.


    They are not only from the same university, but also from the same high school, but they didn¡¯t know each other in high school. They didn¡¯t know each other until they went to university and people from the same place started to gather together occasionally.


    The original owner was very happy to get to know some richer people. An Chenyuan should have known the original owner¡¯s identity so he was happy to talk with the original owner. The relationship between the two was good.


    However, after the original owner graduated, they lost contact and never met again. This time, so coincidental?


    Lu Yanzhou looked at the other party: ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m in a hurry, can you let me go?¡±


    An Chenyuan blocked his car door!


    Waste time on an insulator or insignificant problem

 CH 16

    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to contact An Chenyuan, so he got in the car and drove away.


    However, when he went to Xie Chengze¡¯s company two days later, he saw An Chenyuan again.


    He recently tried to rectify Xie Chengze¡¯s company. Before the rectification, he must recruit some people to train as his own personnel.


    An Chenyuan was one of the people who submitted his resume to apply for the job. He graduated from the same university as the original owner. The original owner majored in History, but he majored in finance. His major was the counterpart, so he was here for an interview.


    The previous meeting, Lu Yanzhou could still take it as a coincidence, but the meeting this time is different.


    An Chenyuan is obviously deliberately trying to get close to him.


    Lu Yanzhou finally chose the former between ¡®keep An Chenyuan by his side to observe¡¯ or ¡®drive An Chenyuan away¡¯.


    An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan are ticking time bombs to him now. Instead of isolating them and not knowing what the other party is going to do at all, it is better to keep them by his side and observe them.


    Of course, he would not let An Chenyuan have a chance to get close to Xie Chengze.


    He glanced at the company veteran who was interviewing with him and was obviously very satisfied with An Chenyuan. Lu Yanzhou accepted An Chenyuan and wrote a note for this veteran by the way.


    This person works diligently in the company. When he investigated, he did not find any problems with this person. However, he wanted to keep An Chenyuan, so there might be problems.


    After the interview, Lu Yanzhou received a message from An Chenyuan: ¡°Senior, when are you free, can I invite you to dinner?¡±


    Although Lu Yanzhou decided to keep An Chenyuan by his side, he didn¡¯t have the time to answer, so he glanced at it but didn¡¯t reply.


    New Year is just a few days after Christmas.


    Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze in advance what New Year gift he wanted. Xie Chengze said without hesitation that he wanted him to accompany him for a day.


    He must be there to accompany him, and he also wants to buy some gifts for Xie Chengze.


    It was just that Lu Yanzhou was struggling on what gift to buy.


    He had never bought gifts for people before. When his comrades-in-arms or colleagues moved to get married or something, he would either give them a red packet or ask them what they were missing.


    However, when Xie Chengze came here¡­Xie Chengze was short of things, but he helped prepare them a few days ago.


    In addition, he can¡¯t afford expensive things ¨C he used Xie Chengze¡¯s account to buy clothes for Xie Chengze before.


    While worried, Lu Yanzhou suddenly saw a child playing with a toy excavator.


    He remembered that Xie Chengze had no toys at all when he was a child. The original owner took a toy car and was seen by Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze quite cherishes it.


    After finding the toy store, Lu Yanzhou spent 500 yuan to buy some toys.


    These toys are either educational or something that could assembled. When he was working recently, Xie Chengze was studying, but after a long time he would get tired of it. Xie Chengze didn¡¯t like watching movies or anything¡­It¡¯s good to play with toys and make things, right?


    Too bad those LEGOs are too expensive¡­he will give it to him next time!


    Although he knew that Xie Chengze was already an adult, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help thinking of him as a child.


    On the New Year, Xie Chengze was dazed at the pile of toys.


    He has never been exposed to these things since he was a child!


    Lu Yanzhou, who put on a protective suit and entered the disinfection pipe, clumsily took out a piece of the puzzle: ¡°Would you like to play the puzzle? Or to assemble this car? Connect the battery to move! We can also play backgammon¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and smiled: ¡°As long as you accompany me, brother Yanzhou, I can play anything!¡±


    With a secret sigh, Lu Yanzhou felt a little overwhelmed.


    The Xie Chengze in this world is very different from the Xie Chengze he knows. The Xie Chengze he knows refuses to touch people. He remembers when he hooked his arm around Xie Chengze¡¯s shoulder once when he was excited, Xie Chengze avoided him directly.


    Xie Chengze here is different, he just can¡¯t wait to hang on him.


    This is¡­different growth environments create different personalities?


    In the past few days, Lu Yanzhou has taught Xie Chengze a lot. He also told him not to say sticky words, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t listen at all. As for him¡­he couldn¡¯t do anything about Xie Chengze.


    He is reluctant to hit, reluctant to scold, and even reluctant to reject him, what else could he do?


    Also, being loved so enthusiastically by Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help as his heart beat faster.


    Has he been single for too long?


    Lu Yanzhou, who had been single for too long, took a deep breath and played with Xie Chengze with those toys.


    However, he ruthlessly rejected the suggestion that Xie Chengze would kiss him if he lost.


    Even if they can¡¯t really kiss at all, it¡¯s too ambiguous.


    However, although Xie Chengze¡¯s suggestions were refused, he still insisted on hugging his helmet to kiss him. He couldn¡¯t do anything, he didn¡¯t even dare to push Xie Chengze in fear of hurting Xie Chengze if he accidentally exerted force.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s body is too weak.


    Lu Yanzhou, wearing a protective suit, sat helplessly on the ground and let Xie Chengze play with his helmet.


    Xie Chengze suddenly said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, when my life comes to an end, take off the helmet and let me kiss you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart was tightened: ¡°Your body will be fine, don¡¯t think about those messy things.¡±


    Xie Chengze laughed twice, not taking it seriously.


    He really cherishes his life now and doesn¡¯t want to die at all, but he has made up his mind that when his life comes to an end, at the last moment, he really wants to hug Lu Yanzhou and kiss Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing Xie Chengze like this, Lu Yanzhou guessed that he didn¡¯t believe his words, so he thought about it before saying, ¡°AZe, trust me, you will be fine.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t mind telling Xie Chengze everything, but he couldn¡¯t say too much.


    The Heavenly Dao of the small world has no independent consciousness and can only auto operate, however, when he and Vermilion Bird investigated before, they discovered that Xuanwu had set some restrictions on it.


    He had to be careful in the small world. If he said too much and violated a taboo, not only would Xie Chengze suffer, but he would also die because his strength is sealed.


    He was able to enter the small world through this ¡®Lu Yanzhou¡¯ flaw that was left by Xie Chengze, even then he still needed to maintain his character ¨C if people found something different, there would be problems.


    Fortunately, although Lu Yanzhou in this world was not a good person in the original historical trajectory, he has not done any bad things at this stage so even if he has changed to good things, it is not too far off.


    People change.


    What¡¯s more, everyone around him now thinks that he treats Xie Chengze well for Xie Chengze¡¯s money¡­Like this, one will doubt him.


    Lu Yanzhou has said more than once that he will get better and recover. Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou puzzled: ¡°Am I really going to be okay?¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were clear, full of love and trust in him¡­ Lu Yanzhou hugged him: ¡°You will really be fine. As long as we do more good deeds, you will be fine.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Is Lu Yanzhou really treating him as a child? To coax him with such words.


    However, there are indeed many people who believe this statement and that became their support.


    How many people do good deeds and accumulate virtue just for their next life?


    Xie Chengze sneered at these since he was a child. He never believed in it. However, Lu Yanzhou said so, he could only pretend to believe: ¡°That¡¯s great, I¡¯ll get better.¡±


    ¡°I want you to get better too¡­AZe, do you want to set up a charity fund?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    He has received a lot of merit recently. However, according to his calculations, even if all the money he donated is spent, there¡¯s not enough merit to make Xie Chengze better yet.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    ¡°This is what I¡¯m thinking about¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou began to talk to Xie Chengze about the charity fund. He just looked for information on this in the past few days.


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I don¡¯t understand.¡± If it was before, he would have thought that Lu Yanzhou had set up this charity fund to get money from him.


    But now, he is willing to trust Lu Yanzhou.


    Speaking of which, Lu Yanzhou lives here, wears ordinary clothes, isn¡¯t picky about what to eat, and sleeps in a folding bed every day¡­He doesn¡¯t even know why Lu Yanzhou took 30 million from his company in the first place.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t spend any money at all. Did he just transfer the money into his account to watch and play with it?


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to set it up¡­It will cost a lot of money to set up a charity fund, but don¡¯t worry, I will help you earn it back in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    His first life, he was born in the same year as this body, and he lived into his thirties in that life.


    That is to say¡­he probably knows what industries will develop in the next ten years.


    Following the general trend, then researching and studying financial reports, he can¡¯t guarantee how much he can earn, but he will not earn less.


    However, money is something outside the body. If he makes money in the future, he will definitely donate it. At that time, he will have to learn some other knowledge and prepare for the next world.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to accompany Xie Chengze for a day, but he couldn¡¯t stay in the sterile room all the time ¨C wearing protective clothing, he couldn¡¯t eat or go to the toilet.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that he could bear it, but Xie Chengze disagreed. After Lu Yanzhou stayed inside for three hours, he urged Lu Yanzhou to go out: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, just stay with me outside.¡±


    After the New Year, Lu Yanzhou began preparing to establish the charity fund. Those people he just recruited just got a chance to practice. When these people get started, he can get rid of those vermin.


    Lu Yanzhou had already sold a lot of stocks and shares the original owner brought before. In addition, Xie Chengze has always had a lot of working capital so when the charity funds are established, there¡¯s no shortage of cash flow.


    However, it is still very troublesome to set up such funds and it takes a long time to approve it. After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou simply donated a part of the funds to buy various materials, as well as free lunches and the like.


    In fact, in the early years, one could go directly to build Hope Primary School or something, but the population in the mountainous area has been lost in recent years. At this stage, in some places, there are schools but no students.


    However, it is good to donate lunches and various supplies to them, and they could also pay medical bills to those who cannot afford medical care.


    Lu Yanzhou decided to find time to visit those big hospitals to make sure that the money was sent to those who really needed it.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s actions were very big. He donated money not in the name of the company, but in the name of Xie Chengze.


    This made those who had been staring at him couldn¡¯t bear with it.


    In the company, the man, who Xie Yuan arranged to observe, gritted his teeth: ¡°This Lu Yanzhou is too bold, he takes the company as his!¡±


    An Chenyuan asked, ¡°How much money did he embezzle?¡±


    ¡°He said he wanted to donate money, so he directly transferred tens of millions¡­It was a lot of donations, so he must have withheld a lot!¡±


    An Chenyuan finally said: ¡°Collect all the evidence.¡±


    An Chenyuan tried to get close to Lu Yanzhou these days, but Lu Yanzhou has always ignored him. He also arranged a lot of work for him under the banner of attaching importance to his experience.


    He was so busy that his original plan could not be implemented at all.


    Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t all for nothing. In addition to the evidence that Lu Yanzhou embezzled 30 million in the early days, he also collected some other evidence that could be used to threaten Lu Yanzhou and make Lu Yanzhou do things for him.

 CH 17

    After An Chenyuan collected all the evidence of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s embezzling money, he continued working.


    Lu Yanzhou has arranged for him far more work than others, and he would never have been able to finish it without someone¡¯s guidance.


    This is completely different from the life An Chenyuan imagined.


    When he was in college, Lu Yanzhou was very attentive to him, and he asked him out several times. After he refused several times, Lu Yanzhou gradually distanced himself from him.


    At that time, Lu Yanzhou wanted to chase him, but later he felt that he couldn¡¯t pursue him, so he gave up.


    With such a long-term relationship, he thought that when he appeared in front of Lu Yanzhou again, Lu Yanzhou would develop something with him. However, Lu Yanzhou either accompanied Xie Chengze or was busy getting money from the company, he didn¡¯t care about him at all.


    Well, it¡¯s not incomprehensible. If he has a foolish and rich money master like Xie Chengze, he will be too lazy to pay attention to others too.


    How many people in this world have been working all their lives just for money?


    An Chenyuan was busy working until late before going home. When he got home and opened the door, he found that there was one more person in his house.


    A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on the sofa in his house, holding a laptop and looking at something. He didn¡¯t look up when he heard him, but said lightly, ¡°You¡¯re back.¡±


    This person is sitting here, as if this is his house¡­Anger suddenly burst out of An Chenyuan¡¯s heart, but he pressed it back abruptly: ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    ¡°Come to see you.¡± The middle-aged man on the sofa put away his laptop and stuffed it into his briefcase. He looked up at An Chenyuan, and revealed a face that was somewhat similar to Xie Chengze.


    An Chenyuan always said that he was a rich second-generation to everyone. His father opened a small business, his mother opened a clothing store, and the family is happy.


    However, in fact¡­he was an illegitimate child.


    Unlike in some novels, the mother of the illegitimate child is the true love of the rich man. His mother was only one of the women who came and went before Xie Yuan got married. Xie Yuan doesn¡¯t really care about her.


    His mother secretly gave birth to him because of money. His appearance made Xie Yuan very angry because Xie Yuan were preparing to marry the Zhang family daughter at that time.


    Since it was marriage, Xie Yuan didn¡¯t plan to hide anything from the Zhang family. He directly put him and his damning existence in front of the Zhang family, and then signed an agreement with them.


    All in all, Xie Yuan will give them financial support but he has no right to inherit anything.


    The amount of alimony is quite large, he and his mother could use that money for a lifetime. As a result, Xie Chengze was born sick, and it was also inherited from the Zhang family too.


    There are several treatments for Xie Chengze¡¯s disease, and one of the more reliable treatments is bone marrow transplantation.


    In his life, the earliest memory he had is the one day where Xie Yuan grabbed him to do bone marrow matching for Xie Chengze.


    He was only three years old at the time. His mother was unwilling, no matter life or death. She held him and not letting Xie Yuan take him away, she cried so hard¡­However, Xie Yuan still took him away ruthlessly.


    What happened that day was so clearly imprinted in his mind that he still remembers it when he has nightmares.


    Fortunately, the final match failed, so he didn¡¯t get to donate his bone marrow to Xie Chengze at such a young age.


    After that, his mother often cursed Xie Chengze in front of him. When Xie Chengze¡¯s mother died, his mother was even more excited and wanted to take this opportunity to ascend to the throne.


    Of course this is not possible.


    Xie Yuan didn¡¯t like his mother, and the Zhang family didn¡¯t agree.


    Xie Chengze wasn¡¯t in good health, so the Zhang family did not stop Xie Yuan from remarrying and having children, but they asked Xie Yuan to marry a woman with no background. Xie Yuan also simply turned around and married a beautiful woman with a good academic background but an ordinary family background.


    He is still an illegitimate child who can¡¯t see the light. He couldn¡¯t even see Xie Yuan once a year, he only has the monthly alimony to tell him that he still has a father.


    However, half a month ago, Xie Yuan suddenly contacted him.


    Xie Yuan only said a few words. In short, Xie Chengze was not in good health, so he would definitely not be able to inherit the company, and that Xie Chengyun was spoiled by his mother and would only cause trouble¡­all in all, he just wanted him to be the heir to the Xie family.


    He had to admit, he was moved.


    Who doesn¡¯t want money?


    But then, Xie Yuan said that there is a problem with Xie¡¯s company now, and a large amount of money is needed to revive Xie¡¯s company.


    If there is no capital injection, Xie¡¯s company will face liquidation and cancellation, then Xie Yuan will have nothing by then and so will he.


    As for where the funds will come from, Xie Chengze has a lot of money in his hands!


    Although there is a problem with Xie¡¯s company, the situation isn¡¯t that serious for the time being. Xie Yuan was in a hurry to get the money from Xie Chengze, mainly because Xie Chengze, who had been living under his nose and under his control, had gone wrong.


    Lu Yanzhou not only took a lot of money from Xie Chengze, but also took Xie Chengze away from the Xie family.


    An Chenyuan doesn¡¯t get along with Xie Yuan much these years, but he pays great attention to Xie Yuan and collects all the information related to Xie Yuan.


    Xie Yuan attaches great importance to interests. He has a strong desire to control and is selfish. He doesn¡¯t care about his children and his women at all. He has always only cared about himself.


    An Chenyuan understood what Xie Yuan meant. Xie Yuan hoped that there would be an accident and Xie Chengze would die. In that case, as Xie Chengze¡¯s only relative, he would inherit everything from Xie Chengze as a matter of course.


    Xie Yuan is simply not human.


    And so is he.


    He is Xie Yuan¡¯s son in the end, so he is no different from Xie Yuan. He wants Xie¡¯s Corporation.


    He didn¡¯t have a chance to win over the Xie company before, but this time if he and Xie Yuan fight Xie Chengze together, he will have Xie Yuan¡¯s handle, so Xie Yuan naturally can¡¯t ignore him like before.


    Doing a hundred good things for the leader is not as good as helping the leader do one bad thing.


    Xie Chengze won¡¯t live long anyway, right?


    An Chenyuan entered the house and put the bag he was carrying on the dining table.


    The house he lives in was given by Xie Yuan when he graduated. The area is not large, but the community and location is very good, so the value is not cheap.


    However, Xie Yuan never gave him any more money since then.


    Xie Yuan asked again: ¡°You came back so late, are you hungry?¡±


    An Chenyuan answered, ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡±


    Thinking that it was almost time, Xie Yuan went straight to the topic: ¡°How is Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze¡¯s money was taken away by him again, it¡¯s 18 million yuan this time.¡± An Chenyuan said.


    Xie Yuan¡¯s face darkened.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s assets are all under Xie Chengze¡¯s name, so the company is only responsible for managing Xie Chengze¡¯s funds and helping with investment and financial management.


    Lu Yanzhou is Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant. He is equivalent to Xie Chengze¡¯s agent. He can withdraw Xie Chengze¡¯s funds from the company ¡ª as long as Xie Chengze agrees.


    However, in Xie Chengze¡¯s situation, he gave Lu Yanzhou a lot of authority. Lu Yanzhou could almost make all decisions for him.


    ¡°I underestimate him.¡± Xie Yuan sneered.


    An Chenyuan also felt the same way. Lu Yanzhou is too greedy. His behavior of transferring funds in Xie Chengze¡¯s name could be called unscrupulous.


    Xie Chengze is still under his watch, so no one else can contact Xie Chengze too!


    If it were ancient times¡­Lu Yanzhou would be a traitor who confuses the fatuous monarch and controls the court.


    An Chenyuan didn¡¯t speak, so Xie Yuan continued, ¡°You¡¯d better act quickly.¡±


    Xie Yuan left. When Xie Yuan left, An Chenyuan also frowned and pondered.


    He and Xie Yuan had a tacit understanding, that is, make Xie Chengze die but they won¡¯t do it themselves.


    It is easy to cause trouble by doing it themselves, if possible, it is best to make Lu Yanzhou do it.


    It is not difficult to make Lu Yanzhou do it. Lu Yanzhou got so much money from Xie Chengze. He must be afraid that Xie Chengze would know that, so as long as he gave him more hints, Lu Yanzhou might take the risks.


    Even if things were to be revealed¡­Lu Yanzhou is the one who committed the crime.


    However, Lu Yanzhou totally ignored him. He had no way to hint to Lu Yanzhou, he could only¡­Threaten?


    In the end, An Chenyuan still made the decision to talk to Lu Yanzhou tomorrow.


    Lu Yanzhou had been on guard against An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan, but that was all.


    He is very busy.


    He has to manage Xie Chengze¡¯s assets and take care of Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze is like an immortal. He always felt that Xie Chengze should have the best things in this world.


    In the past, Xie Chengze was very indifferent. He was very persistent in going to find Xie Chengze, and he could only make Xie Chengze, a ruthless dao cultivator, treat him as a good friend. Not to mention that Xie Chengze wants to be with him now.


    Today, Lu Yanzhou worked next to the plastic film for another morning.


    When he was working, Xie Chengze was playing puzzles beside him.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t really focus when he was playing. He glanced at Lu Yanzhou from time to time. After several hours of trying, still no result.


    After receiving the message from his mother, Lu Yanzhou said to Xie Chengze, ¡°AZe, I¡¯m going to dinner. By the way, after dinner, I¡¯ll go to the company in the afternoon.¡±


    ¡°Can you not go?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°There are many things to do in the company.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze could only say: ¡°Then come back early.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou hugged him before going downstairs.


    When they got downstairs, father Lu and mother Lu had already prepared the meal.


    Old lady Wang originally ate with them, but after a few days of eating, old lady Wang was not used to it and separated.


    Old lady Wang came to work in Zhang¡¯s family when she was young. She has worked in Zhang¡¯s family for 30 years, she is accustomed to living in a wealthy family.


    For example, when shopping for vegetables, mother Lu buys those at discount, those that are cheap, while old lady Wang¡­Whether it is buying eggs, meat or vegetables, she will always choose the expensive ones.


    She also pays attention to cooking with less oil and less salt. She has to eat vegetables and protein at every meal. Anyway, she tries to be healthy.


    The two sides really can¡¯t eat from the same pot.


    The meal mother Lu cooked today is a plate of braised pork, a plate of fried kale, and tomato soup.


    She simmered a bit too much braised pork, so she planned to eat it two days in a row.


    Lu Yanzhou is not a picky eater. After three or two bites, he told his parents that he was going to the company.


    ¡°Zhouzhou, go work.¡± Mother Lu said.


    ¡°Mom, I will.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Lu Yanzhou started working when he arrived at the company.


    Lunar New Year¡¯s Eve is the end of January.


    Now that the New Year has passed for several days, it will not be long before the New Year¡¯s holiday. Near the end of the year, the company has a lot of things to do.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s relevant knowledge reserve is not enough, it is even slower to do that. That¡¯s why he studied it in advance before coming to the company, so nothing could go wrong.


    He is busy until five o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Lu Yanzhou was about to go back, as a result, when he was packing, An Chenyuan suddenly came in.


    Seeing An Chenyuan, Lu Yanzhou frowned slightly.


    Today¡¯s An Chenyuan doesn¡¯t look the same as before¡­Lu Yanzhou was thinking about it when he heard An Chenyuan say: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I have something here, you should take a look.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    An Chenyuan put an A4 piece of paper in front of Lu Yanzhou. On this piece of A4 paper, many transfer records were listed. The first item above was the 30 million dividends transferred from Xie Chengze¡¯s shares in those companies to Xie Chengze and he transferred it to his own account.


    The numerous ones in the back are records of him transferring away to buy supplies for charity.


    Lu Yanzhou had already guessed that An Chenyuan would keep an eye on him, so he didn¡¯t clean up the account. Now that he saw this piece of paper, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    The fish is hooked.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face changed greatly, he looked at An Chenyuan: ¡°What do you want?¡±

 CH 18

    Lu Yanzhou first served in the special forces in his last life, then he later became a police officer. He naturally learned how to manage facial expressions, and by the way, he also studied micro-expressions.


    He had long guessed that An Chenyuan would come to him. At this moment, he also secretly turned on the recording tool.


    ¡°You embezzled so much money from Xie Chengze, does Xie Chengze know?¡± An Chenyuan asked.


    A guilty conscience flashed across Lu Yanxhou¡¯s face, he didn¡¯t answer.


    An Chenyuan said, ¡°Senior Lu, what you did is already enough to put you in jail!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked even more guilty.


    ¡°What you are doing is wrong, I¡¯m going to tell Xie Chengze about this¡­¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou heard this, he immediately said: ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Then return the money.¡± An Chenyuan¡¯s finger tapped on the table, one by one.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face turned embarrassed.


    An Chenyuan said: ¡°You think about it! I can find out about this, others can find it too!¡±


    After An Chenyuan finished speaking, he left. After he leaves the office, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression returns to normal and he turn off the recording tool.


    An Chenyuan didn¡¯t say anything this time, but sooner or later, he will do it.


    He must cure Xie Chengze as soon as possible.


    Lu Yanzhou stayed alone for a while, then packed up and left the office. When he went out, he also showed a worried expression at the right time, completely imitating an ordinary person with a guilty conscience after breaking the law and committing a crime.


    When An Chenyuan saw this scene, he didn¡¯t think much about it.


    On the other side, Lu Yanzhou is driving home. When he got home, he saw that his parents had already made dinner. The dishes on the table are about the same as the noon dishes ¡ª the dishes that mother Lu could cook were few so mostly the same.


    Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Dad, mom, I¡¯ll put my stuff away then come to eat.¡±


    He guessed that Xie Chengze had probably been waiting for him. He planned to go up to greet Xie Chengze first, then he will come down for supper.


    When Lu Yanzhou reach upstairs, sure enough, he saw Xie Chengze looking eagerly at the door.


    Every time he sees Xie Chengze like this, he will feel distressed.


    He told Xie Chengze to find something to do and don¡¯t wait for him. However, even if Xie Chengze is practicing writing, he would also stay in the place opposite the door to practice, then he will give him a big smile when he comes through the door.


    This is why he tries to stay at home as much as possible. One of the reasons is spoiling Xie Chengze.


    ¡°AZe, I¡¯m back.¡± Lu Yanzhou walked over and put his hand through the rubber gloves.


    Xie Chengze immediately got into his arms.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to have dinner, I will accompany you later.¡± Lu Yanzhou said as he hugged him.


    Xie Chengze took his hand: ¡°Come back to eat here, okay?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed. He went downstairs and filled a big bowl of rice cover with some vegetables, then went upstairs again.


    Lu Yanzhou chatted with Xie Chengze before. He found that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t like to hear him talk about the company, so now he doesn¡¯t talk much about things in the company, not to mention An Chenyuan¡¯s affairs. He couldn¡¯t tell him that.


    This is mainly because¡­he didn¡¯t want Xie Chengze to know that Xie Yuan wanted to harm him.


    For most people, knowing their father wants them to die is a very uncomfortable thing.


    Xie Chengze only needs to be happy.


    Lu Yanzhou was eating while checking Xie Chengze¡¯s homework, tell him to study hard.


    Xie Chengze held his chin and nodded, yes, very obedient.


    After eating, Lu Yanzhou went downstairs to put away the dishes and chopsticks. He then has a few words with his parents, asking them if they lack anything.


    Both father Lu and mother Lu are very satisfied with their current life. It¡¯s just that Lu Qiqi came to find them again recently.


    From Lu Qiqi¡¯s mouth, Lu Yanzhou is a person that locked up Xie Chengze. He¡¯s a bad guy who digs out Xie Chengze¡¯s money.


    Lu Qiqi talk about Lu Yanzhou like that, father Lu and mother Lu were naturally upset. They wan to defend their son but they can¡¯t go against Lu Qiqi with how things were now. They were also afraid that Lu Qiqi would talk nonsense in front of their relatives.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, leave her alone. I think we should just watched Xie Chengze closely to protect Xie Chengze¡­Now someone wants Xie Chengze to die.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had told his parents that someone in the Xie family wanted Xie Chengze to die. This time he also brought it up again, the restlessness in father Lu and mother Lu heart raised another level.


    ¡°You also helped me watch him. Aze should never have an accident.¡± Lu Yanzhou repeated.


    Father Lu and mother Lu nodded again and again.


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou went to the company again. While in the company, he seemed a little dazed and very uneasy.


    As predicted, An Chenyuan came to see him alone.


    An Chenyuan went to Lu Yanzhou yesterday to test first. After that, Lu Yanzhou passed the test with his panicked performance. So, today he goes straight to the topic: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, did you think it through?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is a little flustered: ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re going to pay back the money?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have the money for the time being¡­¡±


    ¡°For the time being? Where did you spend it?¡± An Chenyuan frowned. According to his recent observations, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t spend much money at all.


    Lu Yanzhou found a tenable reason: ¡°Online gambling¡­I will definitely win it back. I¡¯ll be able to pay it back in a few days!¡±


    An Chenyuan¡¯s face darkened.


    Gambling has no end. Now he doesn¡¯t know how much money Lu Yanzhou had used. Letting him stay with Xie Chengze, he will definitely take more money from Xie Chengze!


    An Chenyuan originally thought that it would be best to quietly encourage Lu Yanzhou to start it but now he has given up on this plan.


    ¡°You say, if I tell Xie Chengze that you have debt from online gambling so you dig out hundreds of millions from him¡­will he still want you to be his assistant?¡± An Chenyuan said.


    Lu Yanzhou gritted his teeth, looking at An Chenyuan angrily: ¡°It¡¯s not good for you!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked like this, obviously because he went crazy from gambling and couldn¡¯t retract himself from it!


    An Chenyuan suddenly understood why he didn¡¯t respond when he tried to hook up with him ¡ª a gambler. How could he care about love?


    An Chenyuan sat down in front of Lu Yanzhou and said: ¡°It really doesn¡¯t do me any good, but I can give you an idea to get rid of this problem.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked at An Chenyuan: ¡°What?¡±


    An Chenyuan said: ¡°As long as Xie Chengze dies, no one will pursue this matter.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou showed a terrified expression: ¡°What did you say?¡±


    An Chenyuan said: ¡°You haven¡¯t thought about it at all?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t speak, of course he didn¡¯t think about it.


    His lifelong wish is to make Xie Chengze happy and healthy.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou sinking into thoughts, An Chenyuan turned and left.


    When he¡¯s gone, Lu Yanzhou sighed.


    He thought An Chenyuan or Xie Yuan will have more means, but unexpectedly, he chose to threaten him directly in the end¡­


    However, this is normal.


    The related murders case he handled in the past, most are straightforward without too much intrigue.


    Of course, An Chenyuan were so direct should be related to Xie Chengze¡¯s situation.


    If a healthy person with their own social circle suddenly dies, everyone will look into it. However, Xie Chengze, who doesn¡¯t have an immune system, passed away¡­everyone will just think it¡¯s an accident.


    Speaking of, in the original trajectory, even if the original owner is not here, if Xie Yuan really wanted to kill Xie Chengze, he could have easily made it an accident.


    Just give Xie Chengze something with germs hidden in it, it¡¯s already enough to make Xie Chengze die.


    However, they make the original owner take the lead. They should intended to push the original owner out as the murderer from the very beginning. Then, they will take advantage of the situation to recover the money that the original owner got from Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou is right. Xie Yuan wanted An Chenyuan to push Lu Yanzhou to do it, then he will take out the evidence to testify against Lu Yanzhou. He could take back the money Lu Yanzhou got from Xie Chengze then.


    However, knowing from An Chenyuan that Lu Yanzhou was involved in gambling, seeing that Lu Yanzhou even sold his new luxury car¡­


    Lu Yanzhou will definitely not get his money back. Xie Yuan¡¯s face was dark, so he asked An Chenyuan to get things done as soon as possible.


    Otherwise, letting Lu Yanzhou continue to gamble, how much money would Xie Chengze have left then?


    Another day passed, An Chenyuan came to find Lu Yanzhou and handed a file bag to Lu Yanzhou.


    In the file back are several sheets of printed paper. There is one in the middle with words threatening Lu Yanzhou. The main idea is that if Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t kill Xie Chengze, he will reveal what Lu Yanzhou take from Xie Chengze¡¯s assets.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    An Chenyuan is quite careful, there¡¯s no way An Chenyuan¡¯s fingerprints will be on this piece of paper.


    If he really took Xie Chengze¡¯s money, then killed Xie Chengze again and was arrested. Even if it proved that he was ordered by An Chenyuan, the evidence is not enough either.


    Of course, this also means that an Chenyuan didn¡¯t want to do it himself too.


    An Chenyuan has already left. Lu Yanzhou took out the camera disguised as a cigarette case next to him and copied the entire video.


    Xie Chengze in this world is very rich so it¡¯s not difficult to accumulate merit. With merits, he can heal Xie Chengze¡¯s body. He has saved about a third of it now.


    If he makes persistent efforts, Xie Chengze¡¯s recovery will come sooner, but before that¡­he needs to fix An Chenyuan.


    If An Chenyuan reveals more¡­Even if An Chenyuan cannot be sanctioned legally, if it is exposed, it can also make An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan unlucky.


    Lu Yanzhou accompanied An Chenyuan in many plays, but seeing that it was almost the end of the year¡­.


    He no longer goes to the company. He stay at home everyday to accompany Xie Chengze, getting ready to spend this new year with Xie Chengze.


    An Chenyuan: ¡°¡­¡± this guys Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t come to the company, he wouldn¡¯t be at home gambling, wanting things to return to normal, right?!


    Everyone has their own thoughts, and the new year came.


    In the past, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s family would go back to their hometown during Chinese New Year. Father Lu and mother Lu are like two ordinary middle-aged people in this city, but when they get back home, they become successful people who bought a house and settled in the big city. They enjoy the feeling of being envied by relatives and friends.


    The taciturn father Lu, at this time, also talks about more.


    However, this year because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s request, they celebrate the new year at the Zhang family¡¯s villa.


    Father Lu and mother Lu have no opinion on this when thinking about their son¡¯s salary¡­isn¡¯t they just couldn¡¯t go back for new year? They can stay!


    There are only five people in the villa. Xie Chengze could not leave the sterile room, and Lu Yanzhou also wants to accompany him again, so this year is quite cold and cheerless.


    However, that is only for others.


    For Xie Chengze, this is the happiest year ever since he remembers.


    Lu Yanzhou has been staying with him from morning to night all the time.


    He doesn¡¯t know how many more years he has, but what about Lu Yanzhou, will he always be with him?


    Even if Lu Yanzhou was with him all the time, he would have to get married and have kids someday, right?


    Xie Chengze still had a smile on his face, but his heart sank again.


    Over a month ago, he wouldn¡¯t be so troubled. At that time, he only wanted Lu Yanzhou to accompany him and nothing else.


    However, Lu Yanzhou treated him so well¡­now he hopes that Lu Yanzhou would belong to him alone.


    Xie Chengze was at a loss when his phone suddenly rang.


    He picked up the phone and saw a strange number and sent him a text message: ¡°I¡¯m An Chenyuan¡­you should know me, right?¡±


    Xie Chenyuan¡¯s eyes narrowed.


    Of course he knew An Chenyuan. When he was very young, he knew that his father had another child. He also knew that An Chenyuan had done a bone marrow matching for him.

 CH 19

    Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition is so bad, but his grandfather still left all the Zhang family property to him because he knew that he is not simple.


    Before his grandfather passed away, Xie Chengze would talk with his grandfather. His grandfather knew that although he didn¡¯t learn much, he was very smart. Before he died, he transferred his assets to his name one after another.


    In addition, his grandfather also told him many things, such as his father had a child before marriage, and that person was An Chenyuan.


    At that time, his grandfather kept reminding him to be careful of An Chenyuan and Xie Chengyun. He even investigated An Chenyuan¡¯s information for him, but he never paid much attention to these things, so he didn¡¯t care.


    Why did An Chenyuan suddenly contact him?


    Xie Chengze is a little curious, but after looking at it, he put the phone aside.


    He didn¡¯t want to waste the time with Lu Yanzhou talking to irrelevant people.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t reply to An Chenyuan, but An Chenyuan quickly sent another text message: ¡°I¡¯m your half-brother, I have something to tell you about Lu Yanzhou, add me as a friend?¡±


    Xie Chengze, who heard the notification tone, picked up the phone and glanced at it, then put the phone aside again, and continued to look at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou is working.


    Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, and the charity fund that Lu Yanzhou has prepared for a long time is expected to be established within the next month.


    Starting tomorrow, he has to run around many places.


    Lu Yanzhou was very serious when he was working. Xie Chengze sat beside him and watched him, he never got tired of looking at him.


    After looking at him for a long time, mother Lu came to ask Lu Yanzhou to eat. Lu Yanzhou hugged him and then went downstairs. Xie Chengze took out his mobile phone, followed the contact information sent by An Chenyuan, and added him as a friend.


    An Chenyuan probably wanted to speak ill of Lu Yanzhou to him, and most likely it was his father who instructed him.


    Xie Chengze knew his father very well.


    His father only had money and power in his heart. He never cared about the people around him, and he doesn¡¯t have any good relationship with his sons.


    Now that he is out of his control, his father must be quite upset.


    In fact, during this period of time, his father had called him several times, trying to tell him to go back, but he didn¡¯t listen.


    What did An Chenyuan want to say this time?


    Xie Chengze sent a friend request, but that¡¯s all, he won¡¯t take the initiative to talk to An Chenyuan.


    His grandfather knew his real situation, but everyone else thought he was someone who had never learned anything since he was a child and had been locked up all the time so he was a bit autistic.


    In Xie Yuan and An Chenyuan¡¯s hearts, he must be timid and ignorant, so talking to people on his own initiative is not something he would do.


    Also¡­He probably doesn¡¯t even know how to use a mobile phone.


    Lu Yanzhou taught him how to play with the mobile phone before, didn¡¯t he?


    Putting the phone aside, Xie Chengze looked at the surveillance camera on the tablet again.


    In the surveillance, Lu Yanzhou was eating.


    They moved here at the end of December. After moving here, Mother Lu made some New Year¡¯s goods one after another.


    For a while, the balcony on the second floor of this house was covered with bacon and sausages. Mother Lu even bought a pig¡¯s head and marinated it with salt and fried it with pepper.


    So these days, Lu Yanzhou gets to eat these things everyday.


    Old lady Wang doesn¡¯t eat with the Lu family. There are only three people in the Lu family, so mother Lu¡¯s cooking is very simple¡­Recently, a plate of bacon and stir-fried vegetables are on the table almost every day.


    When Xie Chengze recalled the sumptuous meals of the Xie family, he felt sorry for Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s food is too bad!


    Xie Chengze was looking at him when his mobile phone next to him gave out another notification tone.


    It¡¯s probably An Chenyuan again, this person is quite annoying¡­


    Xie Chengze turned on the phone, and saw that An Chenyuan had already accepted his friend request, and sent himself a lot of pictures.


    He didn¡¯t plan to look at it at first, but he suddenly stopped ¡ª there is Lu Yanzhou in these photos.


    Looking over one by one, Xie Chengze found that many of them were photos of Lu Yanzhou and An Chenyuan together.


    At the end of these photos, An Chenyuan also said: ¡°Cousin Lu went to the same university as me, and chased me back then, but I didn¡¯t agree.¡±


    Xie Chengze froze looking at those photos.


    On the other side, An Chenyuan was holding his mobile phone. Seeing no replies, he couldn¡¯t help frowning.


    Xie Yuan kept urging him, so An Chenyuan hoped that Lu Yanzhou would deal with Xie Chengze quickly.


    However, Lu Yanzhou refused to do it!


    It was already half a month ago when An Chenyuan threatened Lu Yanzhou, but now that half a month has passed, Xie Chengze is still fine.


    Not only that, in the past ten days, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t even leave Zhang¡¯s villa. He didn¡¯t even get to see Lu Yanzhou at all.


    An Chenyuan really wanted to urge Lu Yanzhou, but he was afraid that if he contacted Lu Yanzhou, it would be recorded or kept by Lu Yanzhou, so he didn¡¯t dare to say more.


    After much deliberation, he thought of another way, which was to provoke the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou was able to use a large sum of money from Xie Chengze because it was allowed by Xie Chengze. If Xie Chengze had an opinion on Lu Yanzhou and refused to let him, Lu Yanzhou would have no chance to embezzle Xie Chengze¡¯s money again.


    The most important thing is that after Xie Chengze did this, Lu Yanzhou would jump over the wall in a hurry and would definitely do something.


    Xie Chengze can now be said to be under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s control. Apart from an old lady, there are only Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents in the villa. It is too easy for Lu Yanzhou to really kill Xie Chengze.


    An Chenyuan didn¡¯t know Xie Chengze well, but he felt that Xie Chengze would definitely not like his illegitimate brother.


    Xie Chengze will definitely be unhappy if Lu Yanzhou has something to do with him.


    Of course, An Chenyuan had another faint guess. Xie Chengze, who has been imprisoned by Xie¡¯s family, suddenly trusted Lu Yanzhou so much. It is unlikely that it was because of just friendship. That being the case, is it possible that Lu Yanzhou deceived Xie Chengze¡¯s feelings. Replying on Xie Chengze¡¯s love, he made Xie Chengze obeyed him?


    If that were the case, Xie Chengze would definitely be even angrier when he learned about it.


    It was because Xie Chengze kept refusing to reply to his messages that made him upset.


    Forget it, he¡¯s going to work tomorrow, he will see if Lu Yanzhou will come then.


    Lu Yanzhou went upstairs after eating.


    He opened the door and went in. The first thing he saw was the cute Xie Chengze who was still smiling at him.


    ¡°AZe, have you eaten yet?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Then eat something now.¡± Lu Yanzhou reminded Xie Chengze to eat.


    Xie Chengze had no appetite, but he still ate obediently.


    While eating, he couldn¡¯t help being distracted ¡ª¡ª Lu Yanzhou, did he really pursue An Chenyuan before?


    The moment Lu Yanzhou came in just now, he actually wanted to show Lu Yanzhou the message sent by An Chenyuan and ask Lu Yanzhou to give him an explanation.


    However, it suddenly occurred to him that Lu Yanzhou had nothing to do with him.


    He confessed his love to Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou did not agree.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou really chased An Chenyuan before, he had no reason to question Lu Yanzhou. If Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t chased An Chenyuan, it would be even more unreasonable for him to ask Lu Yanzhou.


    Might as well find time to check it out himself.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze regained his appetite.


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou went to the company.


    These days during the Chinese New Year, he has gained a lot of merit. After asking, he found out that the items he donated were sent to those in need.


    Now, he only lacks half of the merit to save Xie Chengze. As for controlling this small world, he needs more merit. He can slowly accumulate it after Xie Chengze recovers.


    At that time, he can also let go of his hands and feet.


    After Lu Yanzhou arrived at the company, An Chenyuan came to him: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, let¡¯s find a place to talk.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t talk here?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to find a quiet place.¡± An Chenyuan walked out. When he threatened Lu Yanzhou before, it was okay for him to go to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s office and say things straightforwardly because there¡¯s no surveillance camera in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s office. Lu Yanzhou would not think of recording in such a rush.


    Most importantly, he didn¡¯t say anything much at the time.


    However, now¡­who knows if Lu Yanzhou has audio or video tools in his office?


    An Chenyuan took Lu Yanzhou to the fire exit in this building. No one came here and there¡¯s no camera: ¡°What are your thoughts?¡±


    ¡°I dare not.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked anxious and frightened.


    ¡°You want to go to jail?¡±


    ¡°Of course not! But such a big matter, let me think about it some more.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou looked timid and fearful, and An Chenyuan really can¡¯t do anything about him.


    Lu Yanzhou continues: ¡°And how long has it been since he moved out from Xie¡¯s house? If something happened to him so soon, what would others think of me?¡±


    An Chenyuan wanted to curse. This Lu Yanzhou was very brave when he took the money, but now he is so timid?


    Lu Yanzhou comforted An Chenyuan, then hurriedly left the company pretending to be uneasy, then he went to a nearby hospital.


    The charity fund he established is mainly used to pay medical expenses for those who can¡¯t afford to see a doctor. He went to the hospital this time just to see the situation.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou went out in the morning, Xie Chengze went back to his bedroom and turned on the computer.


    He used to be a person who had his computer turned on 24 hours a day. He had at least 15 hours a day to pay attention to the news on the Internet.


    Although Lu Yanzhou later became pleasing to his eye and he got along with Lu Yanzhou more, because he was still living in Xie¡¯s house at that time, Lu Yanzhou would leave at night, so he still had a lot of time to be online. He can spend seven or eight hours a day on the Internet.


    However, ever since he came to Zhang¡¯s villa¡­Lu Yanzhou was at home every day during the Chinese New Year a few days ago, so he didn¡¯t turn on his computer for ten days in a row.


    Today, as soon as Xie Chengze turned on his computer, he received a lot of messages. The person he communicated with the most even sent a lot of messages, asking why he wasn¡¯t online.


    Xie Chengze replied: ¡°Chinese New Year.¡±


    ¡°Oh! Water God, do you still remember? Last year during the Chinese New Year, someone from abroad came to make trouble. Everyone else had something to do offline, so they couldn¡¯t stay online all the time, so only you stood the ground!¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t reply, but this person typed a bunch of words: ¡°So, Water God, did you have a partner, that¡¯s why you set us aside?¡±


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore, he doesn¡¯t have a partner!


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t like to be in charge, but in fact, he will use his computer skills from time to time to visit Xie¡¯s or his own company.


    At this moment, he entered his company very familiarly, and then he saw An Chenyuan through the company¡¯s networked camera.


    An Chenyuan also called Lu Yanzhou away. The two went to the fire escape side, so he didn¡¯t know what they were talking about.


    An Chenyuan¡­what does he want to do?


    An Chenyuan didn¡¯t want to provoke their relationship, but to rob him?


    Xie Chengze felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart, then he suddenly stopped.


    If An Chenyuan really wanted to rob him, he couldn¡¯t do it.


    Though, besides being richer than An Chenyuan, he has nothing better than An Chenyuan.


    Xie Chengze left a hole in his company¡¯s system a long time ago for his own access, so he quickly accessed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s computer.


    There are a lot of files in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s computer. He doesn¡¯t understand the commercial ones, and he is impatient to read them, but he has read some recordings and videos among them.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s video is what he had discussed with An Chenyuan.


    Online gambling?


    Lu Yanzhou was with him every day, so he had never gambled. He also teaches lesson to him before and repeatedly told him that he must not engage in pornography, gambling, and drugs.


    According to what Lu Yanzhou recorded¡­ An Chenyuan wanted him to die?


    Lu Yanzhou pretended to comply in front of An Chenyuan to get proof?


    He didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to be good at acting.


    Xie Chengze figured out the ins and outs of the matter and his mood immediately improved.


    In fact, he knew very early on that his father wanted to kill him, and he was already prepared. If there was such a day, he would leave enough evidence to ruin his father¡¯s reputation.


    As for himself, he actually didn¡¯t want to live, so it was okay to just die.


    However, recently Lu Yanzhou protected him so well and told him to be careful every day.


    He should do something too.


    Xie Chengze decided to look for evidence of his father¡¯s wrongdoing starting today.


    His father, such a man, must have done a lot of tax evasion in the past!


    Of course, if these things are to be given to Lu Yanzhou openly, there must be a source¡­


    When Lu Yanzhou came home that night, Xie Chengze said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, when I went online today, I paid homage to a master!¡±


    ¡°What master?¡± Lu Yanzhou is a little worried, ¡°Some people on the Internet like to deceive people.¡± Xie Chengze can just play games or something and was still deceived.


    ¡°He¡¯s a master hacker! Brother Yanzhou, my master is amazing, he is a hacker!¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback. He suddenly thought of the hacker who disclosed everything after Xie Chengze¡¯s death.

 CH 20

    Before, Lu Yanzhou wondered why a hacker paid attention to Xie Chengze and exposed Xie¡¯s family surveillance camera. Now that he knew that Xie Chengze knew the hacker, he understood the reason.


    ¡°How do you know him?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°I added him as a friend by accident. He would chat with me, so we got to know each other while chatting,¡± Xie Chengze said. ¡°Recently, he said that he would teach me how to hack¡­um, computer technology.¡±


    ¡°Then you study hard,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°If you like this kind of content, I can find a few people to teach you in the future to learn programming or something.¡±


    ¡°Um!¡± Xie Chengze smiled and praised, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, my master is amazing, he is very famous in the circle.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°People in the circle call him Water God! He is very skilled and has done a lot of things!¡±


    Xie Chengze rambled on, talking about a lot of things he had done. He is a little embarrassed while talking, so he couldn¡¯t help but blush.


    In the future, if Lu Yanzhou finds out that Water God is actually him¡­


    Seeing this scene, Lu Yanzhou felt a ¡®thump¡¯ in his heart.


    When Xie Chengze mentioned ¡®Water God¡¯, his eyes seemed to light up, and his face turned red. It was no different from when he confessed to him and said he liked him.


    Xie Chengze really likes that ¡®Water God¡¯?


    ¡°There were foreigners who came to make trouble before and he drove them all back.¡± Xie Chengze talked seriously about what he encountered during the Chinese New Year last year.


    He did that at the time purely because he¡¯s bored, but then a lot of people started to worship him because of it.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Then he is really amazing!¡±


    In the original trajectory, a hacker helped Xie Chengze, so this ¡®Water God¡¯ should really exist, and these deeds of Water God are probably true.


    Lu Yanzhou admitted that Water God is a good person, but at this moment, his mood is extremely complicated.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°He knows a lot.¡±


    Xie Chengze talked a lot about ¡®Water God¡¯, then finally Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°How did you know so much?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I joined a group and asked others.¡±


    Xie Chengze joined a group to chat with people¡­Lu Yanzhou was very relieved, he praised Xie Chengze, then felt a bit unpleasant after the compliment.


    Strange to say, he obviously wanted Xie Chengze to get in touch with society more, but when Xie Chengze likes other people, he felt uncomfortable.


    However, although he was a little unhappy, Lu Yanzhou still encouraged Xie Chengze to get in touch with that ¡®Water God¡¯.


    ¡°I will. I plan to learn some skills from him! Brother Yanzhou, I might be able to help you in the future.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you to help me in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed.


    At night, the two still slept next to the plastic film.


    Lu Yanzhou put his arm into the rubber glove. When he saw Xie Chengze sleeping hugging his arm as usual, he closed his eyes too.


    He always fell asleep quickly, but this time he was a little restless.


    Lying on the bed for a long time, Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes and looked at Xie Chengze in front of him with the help of the faint light.


    Xie Chengze hugged his arm and was already asleep. There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him feel¡­the urge to kiss him.


    Lu Yanzhou secretly sighed.


    He tried to deny it before, but facts are facts and cannot be changed.


    He likes Xie Chengze.


    They first met in World Management. Where there are people, there are differences and fights. Xie Chengze said he cultivat the ruthless dao, so he is indifferent. He also wasn¡¯t very welcome in World Management too. At that time, several people gathered around him to question him while he stood in the middle with a blank face. It seems like nothing is in his eyes.


    At that time, Lu Yanzhou took a strange liking to him, and offered to help. Later, when he learned that he had just come to World Management, he took him everywhere to get acquainted.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t understand the world. He spoke directly and did everything straightforwardly. He also didn¡¯t take advantage of him. Later, someone spoke ill of him, then Xie Chengze beat them up without saying a word.


    Because of this, he liked Xie Chengze even more. He went to find Xie Chengze from time to time, he even thought about confessing to Xie Chengze.


    However, when he asked Xie Chengze in a roundabout way, Xie Chengze told him that he cultivated the ruthless dao.


    Xie Chengze is from the cultivation world. He is born as a spiritual thing, as he grew he could transform into a human. He had been living in isolation, so he didn¡¯t understand emotions at all. Later when his master took him, he started to cultivate the ruthless dao.


    Xie Chengze is ignorant and unable to understand his emotions. Not only that, if his dao is broken, his cultivation and state of mind will also be in trouble too.


    He didn¡¯t force it. He gave up his confession and got along with Xie Chengze as before. After a long time, he and Xie Chengze became good brothers.


    But now he came here and found Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments.


    The Xie Chengze in this world is completely different from the one he remembered. At first, he only felt sorry for him and treated this person as a child, but Xie Chengze suddenly confessed to him¡­


    This happened too sudden. It was the first time someone confessed to him like this.


    When he was on Earth, he entered the army at the age of eighteen, and he was surrounded by good brothers. He had never been in love at all. Later, he left the army. Although he was introduced and contacted a few people, they all disappeared.


    Of course, maybe in his missing memory, he has encountered such a situation, but he can¡¯t remember that. But he is sure, he has always been single.


    For a person who has been single for many years, it is hard for him not to be moved by someone who confesses to him every day.


    Originally, he could still lie to himself that he only had pity for Xie Chengze. However, tonight Xie Chengze kept praising that ¡®Water God¡¯, so he realized that something was wrong.


    Lu Yanzhou despises himself a little.


    Xie Chengze has very little contact with people, so his personality is pure and childlike. He may have mistaken other feelings for love when he confessed to him, but he is different.


    He is quite old. He likes a young man, who is as simple as a child, and he even indulges Xie Chengze to get close to him.


    All kinds of intimacy between him and Xie Chengze is simply him molesting Xie Chengze.


    It¡¯s okay now, but if Xie Chengze recovers from his illness and remains like this in the future¡­then he will be harming Xie Chengze!


    The most important thing is, when he collects all the soul fragments, and when Xie Chengze recovers his memory and remembers all kinds of things in the small world, how will he face Xie Chengze?


    Xie Chengze regarded him as a good brother, but he abducted the other person¡¯s soul fragments?


    He shouldn¡¯t be in love with Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou sorted out his feelings. He felt that he and Xie Chengze should keep their distance.


    Of course, he should also pay attention to this ¡®Water God¡¯.


    For Xie Chengze¡¯s sake, he couldn¡¯t let Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments leave any karma in the small world.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t fall asleep, so he simply took out his mobile phone and looked for news about Water God.


    He was able to find some things about Water God. However, he was an outsider after all, so he couldn¡¯t find much. Most importantly, he knew nothing about computer technology¡­he¡¯s clueless.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t sleep all night, he only slept for a little bit in the morning, then woke up from the sunlight.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou!¡± Seeing that Lu Yanzhou woke up, Xie Chengze showed a bright smile.


    ¡°Good morning.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled and looked away.


    Before he was not aware of his feelings, he was able to face Xie Chengze calmly, but now¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was embarrassed to touch Xie Chengze¡¯s head and hug Xie Chengze like before.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, hug me.¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°AZe, hugging and kissing are all done between lovers, we shouldn¡¯t do this.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I like you.¡± Xie Chengze confessed again.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­I treat you as my younger brother.¡± Facing Xie Chengze like this, he really couldn¡¯t stand it.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a younger brother.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Aze¡­¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou¡­¡± Xie Chengze was disappointed.


    Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to give him a brief hug, and then said, ¡°Aze, I have something to do today, you should study hard at home¡­I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    ¡°So early?¡± Xie Chengze was depressed.


    ¡°Mm, there are a lot of things.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Not only were Xie Chengze¡¯s soul broken, his soul fragments have suffered so much in this world, Lu Yanzhou can¡¯t stand seeing Xie Chengze sad now.


    If he stayed, he would definitely not be able to help but agree to all Xie Chengze¡¯s demands in the end, so it would be better to leave first.


    Afraid that Xie Chengze would ask more questions, Lu Yanzhou ran away after saying a few words.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou leaving back and frowned.


    Lu Yanzhou was busy outside all day. He didn¡¯t go home until evening. After returning¡­he went to the third floor as usual: ¡°I¡¯m back.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou!¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes seem to sparkle.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t get close to him like usual. He just said: ¡°I¡¯ll have dinner first, then I¡¯ll come find you after I¡¯m done.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, come up to eat here.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°It¡¯s too troublesome to run up and down,¡± said Lu Yanzhou, who had often carried a bowl upstairs to eat, ¡°I¡¯ll eat quickly, and come up when I¡¯m done.¡±


    Xie Chengze could only watch helplessly as Lu Yanzhou went downstairs, and then he opened the surveillance camera to look at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou always ate very fast, but today¡­he said he wanted to eat quickly, but he actually ate very slowly.


    Xie Chengze faintly felt that something was wrong.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­why did it seem like he¡¯s avoiding him?


    Xie Chengze only guessed at first, but he soon confirmed it.


    After Lu Yanzhou went upstairs after dinner, instead of chatting with him like before, he moved a desk to work.


    Lu Yanzhou used to work as close to the plastic film as possible before.


    Like that, Xie Chengze, who is in the sterile room, could touch Lu Yanzhou by leaning on the plastic film.


    But this time Lu Yanzhou was a little far away from the sterile room. Xie Chengze was lying on the plastic film, which protruded outwards, but he still couldn¡¯t touch Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, are you angry? Because I learned technology from Water God?¡± Xie Chengze thought about it and could only think of this matter.


    He said a lot about ¡®Water God¡¯ yesterday, is Lu Yanzhou upset because of this?


    Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t want him to learn that?


    ¡°I¡¯m not angry. It¡¯s a good thing that you can learn from Water God.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Although it was true, when Lu Yanzhou said it, he felt a little sour.


    Seeing Xie Chengze, who was lying on the plastic film, smashed his face and wanted to lean on his side, his heart ached even more.


    In order to keep a distance from Xie Chengze, his desk was put on the place with no rubber gloves attached, which meant that Xie Chengze could not reach out to touch him. He could only try to press the plastic film towards him.


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you come over a little bit? I want to be next to you.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°That will distract me.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou especially wanted to kiss Xie Chengze.


    However, he could treat those kisses as a kiss between an elder and a junior before, but now¡­it definitely seems like molestation.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, don¡¯t you like me?¡± Xie Chengze asked, ¡°You don¡¯t like me anymore¡­Sure enough, no one in this world will like me. Dad always hates me, mom thinks I¡¯m an embarrassment, grandpa thinks I¡¯m embarrassing my dead mother¡­¡±


    The more Xie Chengze spoke, the softer his voice became.


    After that, Lu Yanzhou moved the desk and chair to the side of the plastic film: ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, don¡¯t kiss me.¡± In the past, when he was working properly, Xie Chengze would suddenly kiss his shoulder and elbow that were next to the plastic film.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°If you keep doing that, I¡¯ll go to another place to work.¡± Lu Yanzhou sighed.


    Xie Chengze shut his mouth and stopped acting like a baby.


    ¡°Aze, I like you very very much, but I think there should be a boundary between us¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou was afraid that Xie Chengze would feel uncomfortable, so he coaxed again: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will never leave you.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze smiled at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°It won¡¯t be long before your illness is cured. When you recover, I will take you to see around the world.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is painting big cakes again¡­Xie Chengze was speechless.


    Other things about Lu Yanzhou are pretty good, but he doesn¡¯t know what to say ¨C Lu Yanzhou always tells him things that are impossible to happen.


    He hasn¡¯t received treatment at all recently, so how can he get better?


    However, after Lu Yanzhou said that, Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°Mm! When I get better, we¡¯ll go out and play together.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou still couldn¡¯t hold back and touched his head.


    Xie Chengze is too easy to coax and too easy to trust people!


    He told Xie Chengze that accumulating merit would make Xie Chengze recover, and Xie Chengze actually believed it.


    However, this is the best. Lu Yanzhou said again: ¡°Just wait, it won¡¯t be long¡­¡±


    The money was spent in large quantities, the merits and virtues also increased every day.


    An Chenyuan watched as Lu Yanzhou sell some of the shares under Xie Chengze¡¯s name and transferred the money away. He was in a bad mood.


    So Lu Yanzhou lost money again?


    An Chenyuan approached Lu Yanzhou again.


    But Lu Yanzhou shied away and still said he didn¡¯t dare.


    ¡°So you¡¯d rather go to jail?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to jail either, but Xie Chengze is very kind to me, so I can¡¯t kill him.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    An Chenyuan: ¡°¡­ Xie Chengze treats you very well?¡± He sent Xie Chengze that kind of picture before, but Xie Chengze is still very nice to Lu Yanzhou?


    ¡°He listens to me and he believes everything I say¡­¡± when Lu Yanzhou mentioned Xie Chengze, his eyes softened unconsciously, ¡°You give me time to think again.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is just stalling for time and collecting evidence by the way.


    The more anxious An Chenyuan and the others were, the more they will expose themselves!


    As for Xie Chengze, although he was not at home during the day recently, he was looking at the surveillance every day. No one was allowed to approach Xie Chengze. Even Xie Chengze¡¯s daily inspection was canceled.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s safety can be guaranteed.


    ¡°You¡¯d better hurry up!¡± An Chenyuan said coldly.


    At the beginning, he could still act in front of Lu Yanzhou, but now seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s money being spent by Lu Yanzhou, his temper is getting worse and worse.


    Lu Yanzhou nodded repeatedly.


    After fooling An Chenyuan, Lu Yanzhou went back to work and was busy working for the charity fund.


    Regarding the preparation of the charity fund, most people in the company disagreed and tried to stop him, but he moved it with Xie Chengze name so there¡¯s nothing those people can do.


    Lu Yanzhou devoted himself to his work. When preparing the fund, he showed people the money he had donated during this period, explaining Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition, and saying that they were sincerely doing charity, which made the approval work quicker.


    At the end of February, just as Lu Yanzhou expected, the charity fund was formally established.


    At the moment when the charity fund was established, a golden light invisible to others fell on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hands.


    Ordinary people can¡¯t see merit, so they can¡¯t use it even if they have merit. It is only the people in their World Management who can collect the power of merit.


    This kind of power is similar to the power of faith collected by the gods in some worlds, but it is purer¡­Now, Lu Yanzhou has collected enough to restore Xie Chengze¡¯s health.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou was so excited that even his hands were trembling uncontrollably.


    Xie Chengze can recover! He can leave the sterile room now!


    This is definitely good news!


    In the future, even if An Chenyuan and the others come up with some bad tricks, Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t have to be afraid. He is no longer a fragile glass man!


    Lu Yanzhou ignored other things and drove home directly.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze received another call from An Chenyuan.


    In the days after the new year, An Chenyuan sent him several messages, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t reply.


    He didn¡¯t have a good impression of An Chenyuan, especially after knowing that An Chenyuan wanted him dead.


    He also didn¡¯t believe the message An Chenyuan sent saying bad things about Lu Yanzhou.


    Although Lu Yanzhou has been avoiding him recently and is not as close to him as before, Lu Yanzhou is still better to him than An Chenyuan.


    However¡­Even though he thought so, Xie Chengze was still a little restless.


    He couldn¡¯t even really touch Lu Yanzhou. He could only wait at home every day, or use some illegal means to secretly observe Lu Yanzhou.


    If Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore, then he will have nothing.


    Xie Chengze finally pressed the answer button on the phone.


    An Chenyuan¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°Xie Chengze, is that you?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Did you see the messages I sent you?¡± An Chenyuan asked again.


    Xie Chengze blinked: ¡°I see.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve seen it all, why aren¡¯t you angry? Xie Chengze, don¡¯t you like Lu Yanzhou?¡± An Chenyuan asked eagerly.


    An Chenyuan also just confirmed this matter.


    He had guessed at first, but recently, in order to understand the situation between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou, he chatted with the old lady Wang, who lived in Zhang¡¯s villa. He finally figured out the ins and outs.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let others get close to Xie Chengze, so he didn¡¯t hesitate to call his parents to Zhang¡¯s villa.


    Old lady Wang has been living in the Zhang family¡¯s villa. She is the old person of the Zhang family who had watched Xie Chengze¡¯s mother grow up and Lu Yanzhou still didn¡¯t even let her go up to the third floor.


    Lu Yanzhou was nice to Xie Chengze, and Xie Chengze also recognized Lu Yanzhou. Old lady Wang couldn¡¯t say anything, but she was full of resentment towards Lu Yanzhou for not letting her get close to Xie Chengze.


    He and Xie Yuan contacted old lady Wang several times. They told old lady Wang something that Lu Yanzhou did. Old lady Wang is full of repulsion toward Lu Yanzhou, the person who had imprisoned Xie Chengze. Listening to them, she had been observing Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    When Lu Yanzhou is not at home, no one is allowed to go to Xie Chengze. When Lu Yanzhou is at home, if old lady Wang wants to see Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou will not refuse. So there were a few times when old lady Wang saw Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze stick together.


    He said, why didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou do anything!


    Xie Chengze has not met many people since he was a child, not even friends, let alone lovers.


    But as long as one is a human being, they have emotional needs. Family, friendship, and love all were needed, but Xie Chengze has nothing!


    How easy is such a person!


    Lu Yanzhou has known Xie Chengze since childhood. He is Xie Chengze¡¯s friend. He is also Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin, if talking about relationships. He is good-looking and can fully meet Xie Chengze¡¯s various emotional needs¡­Xie Chengze must be coaxed by him, right?


    As for sexual orientation, Xie Chengze can¡¯t even contact people, so sexual orientation doesn¡¯t matter!


    After thinking this through, An Chenyuan wanted to vomit blood ¨C if he were Lu Yanzhou, he wouldn¡¯t do anything too!


    Even if the matter of Lu Yanzhou using Xie Chengze¡¯s money was revealed to Xie Chengze¡­As long as Lu Yanzhou coaxed and begged, Xie Chengze might not blame him. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t do anything to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze still has a lot of shares in his hand, this is a chicken that lays golden eggs!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect An Chenyuan to say that he liked Lu Yanzhou, so he was stunned.


    An Chenyuan continues at this moment: ¡°Unfortunately, you like Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t like you. You have such a problem, how could Lu Yanzhou be with you? He has always liked me, he just used you as a substitute.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak.


    An Chenyuan had no other plan than to provoke the relationship between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Lu Yanzhou is acting in front of you. I remember when we were in college, Lu Yanzhou also said that he had a sick cousin who was annoying and boring that he had to accompany.¡±


    Xie Chengze still didn¡¯t speak.


    An Chenyuan had a lot to say, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say a word, which made him speechless.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze didn¡¯t play their cards according to common sense!


    But An Chenyuan still said a lot to stimulate Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze listened quietly without any warmth in his eyes.


    He knew that An Chenyuan wanted to anger him on purpose, and he is indeed angry.


    He rarely has such strong emotions. At this moment, he has the urge to kill An Chenyuan.


    However, even if he wanted to kill An Chenyuan, there was nothing he could do.


    The evidence he found of Xie Yuan¡¯s tax evasion could get Xie Yuan in trouble, but not An Chenyuan.


    Even if An Chenyuan urged Lu Yanzhou to kill him, it is impossible to convict An Chenyuan, after all, An Chenyuan did nothing.


    Xie Chengze was powerless for a moment. He thought for a while, then looked at the computer that was turned on next to him.


    Lu Yanzhou was not at home during the day recently, so he started to turn on the computer all day just like before.


    After An Chenyuan sent him the photo, he checked An Chenyuan, and now he plans to investigate him carefully.


    Xie Chengze focused on Xie Yuan before, but this time An Chenyuan is the target of investigation.


    After this investigation, he really found a lot of things.


    When An Chenyuan and Lu Yanzhou were in college, they met a lot.


    Although the two of them are not in the same department, they joined the school¡¯s photography club together and interacted a lot on some social platforms.


    It can¡¯t even be called interaction, it should be Lu Yanzhou who took the initiative to befriend An Chenyuan ¨C he had always liked An Chenyuan.


    The more Xie Chengze looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.


    Before, he always felt that An Chenyuan was lying when he said that Lu Yanzhou was chasing him, but now it seems that it might be true.


    When Xie Chengze thought so, he gritted his teeth. He simply stole Lu Yanzhou¡¯s account on a certain social platform.


    Lu Yanzhou often used this account when he was in college, but now he doesn¡¯t use it very much¡­After login, Xie Chengze saw more information.


    Lu Yanzhou has a crush on An Chenyuan.


    Lu Yanzhou chased An Chenyuan, but rejected his confession, did he not like him?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like him, so why did he always accompany him and coax him?


    Xie Chengze thought of what he was sure about at the beginning ¨C Lu Yanzhou accompanied him for money.


    At that time, in order for Lu Yanzhou to accompany him, he offered him money to work.


    It¡¯s just that in the past few months, he suddenly didn¡¯t want to think so. He began to hope that Lu Yanzhou was treating him well sincerely, and he also wanted Lu Yanzhou to love him.


    Lu Yanzhou does as he like at first, but recently, he has started to avoid him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mind was buzzing, and at this moment, Lu Yanzhou came back.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou came, he said, ¡°AZe, your illness is getting better! You can come out!¡±

 CH 21

    Lu Yanzhou went home today and opened the door on the third floor, but he didn¡¯t see Xie Chengze immediately like usual.


    Xie Chengze, who used to always sit behind the plastic film and wait for him to come back, is probably in the bedroom or the toilet at the moment so he didn¡¯t see him.


    However, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t wait to talk about Xie Chengze¡¯s health improvement. After thinking about it, he found the protective suit that he hadn¡¯t worn these days and put it on.


    He wanted to go in to find Xie Chengze.


    The golden merit is merging with Xie Chengze¡¯s body. Xie Chengze is getting better, but he is still a little worried, so he dare not open the door of the sterile room directly.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to give Xie Chengze an examination first, to make sure that Xie Chengze¡¯s health was really good, and then let Xie Chengze go out of the sterile room.


    Lu Yanzhou had already prepared for this matter. He bought some needles half a month ago and practiced drawing blood on his arm. This time, after he went in, he could draw a tube of Xie Chengze¡¯s blood and send it to the hospital immediately for someone to test.


    Xie Chengze has a specialized doctor, but that doctor was hired by Xie Yuan many years ago, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t fully trust them.


    Fortunately, he went to the hospital a few times recently and met other doctors. The doctor also made a medical record for Xie Chengze.


    Taking Xie Chengze¡¯s blood to the doctor he knows for testing, there is absolutely no problem.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, what did you say?¡± Xie Chengze came out of the bedroom and asked in confusion.


    ¡°I said you¡¯re getting better, so you¡¯ll recover soon.¡± Lu Yanzhou said while putting on the suit on the other side.


    Xie Chengze looked blank.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Do you still remember? I said before that as long as you do more good deeds, you will recover. I donated your money and helped many people. Now your body is healing.¡±


    Xie Chengze was full of surprise: ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Really! But I need to get someone to check it out for you first. You can come out of the sterile room after we are sure there is no problem.¡± After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he looked at the lingering merits around Xie Chengze, and said, ¡°Um, You¡¯d better stay in the sterile room for a few more days to recover properly¡­It¡¯s your birthday in a few days, so you can come out on that day, I¡¯ll celebrate your birthday.¡±


    Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t fully absorbed those merits yet. Now Xie Chengze¡¯s immunity should be far inferior to ordinary people¡­It¡¯s better for him to stay in the sterile room for a few more days.


    Lu Yanzhou was very sure. While talking, he had already put on the protective suit and entered the disinfection pipeline.


    The disinfectant was constantly spraying towards him, but Lu Yanzhou was very excited the whole time. When he came to the inner room of the disinfection pipeline, he even hit the glass with his hand to greet Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze smiled and let him in after the disinfection was completed.


    Lu Yanzhou has been very restrained these days. He dares not get close to Xie Chengze, but when facing Xie Chengze, he is reluctant to make him sad¡­


    The person he likes wants to get close to him, but he just can¡¯t get close¡­He has endured very hard.


    However, at this moment, he could no longer remember those entanglements, only joy remained.


    Picking up Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou hugged him several times, until he was dizzy before putting Xie Chengze down: ¡°AZe, you are finally recovering!¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, am I really recovering?¡± Xie Chengze asked again.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Lu Yanzhou was very sure, ¡°I¡¯ll draw your blood for a test. When we¡¯re sure you¡¯re alright, you can go out on your birthday!¡±


    As Lu Yanzhou said, he took out the blood-drawing equipment he brought in and unpacked it: ¡°Aze, I have practiced blood-drawing but I¡¯m still not proficient, maybe it will hurt a little.¡±


    When he practiced drawing blood before, he put a glove as thick as the protective suit on his right glove, and then drew blood from his left arm.


    He pricked dozens of needle holes in his left arm, which made his left arm bruised, before finally sure he could do it.


    However, when Xie Chengze stretched out his white arm¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t dare to do it.


    Obviously it would be easier to draw blood from others, but with Xie Chengze¡¯s little arm¡­Lu Yanzhou took a few deep breaths before carefully groping for the blood vessels.


    After half a tube of blood was drawn from Xie Chengze¡¯s arm, a layer of sweat had already appeared on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s back.


    ¡°Aze, I¡¯m going to the hospital right now. You wait for me at home.¡± Lu Yanzhou took the half tube of blood in his hand, hugged Xie Chengze again, then hurriedly left through the disinfection tube.


    Xie Chengze pressed the pinhole on his arm and watched him leave, feeling a little dazed, then the smile on his face slowly disappeared.


    If he had received bone marrow transplantation or other treatments, it would be normal for him to recover now, but the point is, he didn¡¯t receive any treatment at all.


    In the past two months, he didn¡¯t even do his routine checkups.


    Lu Yanzhou has always said that as long as he does more good deeds, his health will recover¡­But is it possible?


    If it¡¯s really that simple, rich people can just get rid of all diseases if they donate more!


    Xie Chengze has always shown that he trusts Lu Yanzhou, but that¡¯s just because he wants Lu Yanzhou to like him. In fact, he doesn¡¯t believe Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words.


    Although he has been locked up all the time, his computer technology has made him come into contact with more darkness.


    There is hostility everywhere on the Internet. Countless people are abusing and accusing each other and arguing, saying things that they dare not say in life with maliciousness hitting their faces.


    What about the environment he lives in? His mother has always hated him and his father never cared about him. At first, his stepmother tried to please him, but later found that his father didn¡¯t care about him, so she ignored him too.


    Even his grandfather, in fact, his grandfather also disliked him, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have turned a blind eye to his bad situation when he was young.


    Growing up in such an environment, it was hard for him to trust anyone.


    He tried to believe in Lu Yanzhou, but after thinking about it, is Lu Yanzhou really worth trusting?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like him before, but after embezzling 30 million yuan from him, his attitude suddenly changed.


    Lu Yanzhou said that the 30 million yuan was used for charity¡­But it¡¯s funny, who would be so sneaky and embezzle the money for charity?


    He had known Lu Yanzhou since he was very young. Lu Yanzhou was not a kind person at all.


    The big cakes that Lu Yanzhou drew are even more unbelievable.


    There is a high probability that Lu Yanzhou has been lying to him.


    Xie Chengze suddenly remembered that he had seen Lu Yanzhou acting in front of An Chenyuan on the surveillance camera.


    When Lu Yanzhou faced An Chenyuan, he always seemed flustered, but when he left An Chenyuan¡¯s sight, he returned to normal in an instant.


    Lu Yanzhou is good at acting, very good at it.


    Lu Yanzhou should have liked An Chenyuan before, but he definitely doesn¡¯t like him now, so he plotted against An Chenyuan instead.


    As for him¡­He and Lu Yanzhou have never really held hands. Could it be possible for Lu Yanzhou to like him?


    Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yanzhou used his account to buy things for him¡­But for An Chenyuan, Lu Yanzhou sent many things to An Chenyuan before.


    Lu Yanzhou obviously didn¡¯t like him.


    Now that Lu Yanzhou said he was fine, he wants him to leave the sterile room so he will die, right?


    He still has a lot of money, why is Lu Yanzhou in such a hurry? Can¡¯t let him live a few more days?


    Because An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan couldn¡¯t wait anymore?


    Lu Yanzhou has been checking An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan, maybe he¡­wants to put his death on An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan.


    Various thoughts circulated in Xie Chengze¡¯s mind, then finally calmed down.


    He was born ill, and even his parents didn¡¯t like him, so how could he expect others to love him?


    Lu Yanzhou is not bad, at least he let him have a few months of sweet dreams.


    He originally thought that he would always be alone until he died.


    But he is not willing to let himself die just like this.


    He told Lu Yanzhou before that he wanted to really hug and kiss Lu Yanzhou before he died. This is his truest thought, and it hasn¡¯t changed even now.


    Xie Chengze thought about it, then went back to the bedroom, turned on the computer and began to do the right things.


    During this period of time, Lu Yanzhou was not so close to him, but he kept urging him to exercise, so Lu Yanzhou did not fool him. No matter what exercise he did, Lu Yanzhou would do it ten times.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body was not bad at all. After two months of training, he became stronger and stronger. Facing Lu Yanzhou, he was not able to resist at all, he could say that he was powerless to fight back.


    If Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t let him kiss, he won¡¯t be able to.


    He used to be willing to die quietly alone, but now he doesn¡¯t want to.


    There are all kinds of things on the Internet, and there are even more messy things. Xie Chengze even found a website that sold contraband before.


    He browsed the Internet for a long time, then finally hacked into someone¡¯s computer: ¡°I heard that you¡­have some good things here?¡±


    He wanted to make Lu Yanzhou weak and get close to him.


    Although he has no immunity, he will not die immediately after being exposed to viruses and bacteria from the outside world.


    Before he died, he might as well get a chance to get close to Lu Yanzhou.


    It would be best if Lu Yanzhou was willing to consummate with him, but if Lu Yanzhou was not willing¡­he might be able to use some special means.


    Xie Chengze dragged his chin to buy the products he wanted, and knocked on the person who always came to chat with him: ¡°Are you in S city?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes! I¡¯m studying at a university in S city!¡± The man replied immediately.


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°Do a few things for me.¡±


    ¡°Water God, just tell me, I will definitely help you!¡± The person opposite immediately expressed his loyalty.


    Xie Chengze had already noticed that his father was expecting him to die a few months ago.


    At that time, he was still thinking that if his father didn¡¯t do anything, he wouldn¡¯t do anything. If his father did, he would give the evidence to this person, so that this person would expose it after his death.


    Now¡­


    Xie Chengze gave the other party a series of evidence of Xie¡¯s tax evasion and explained for a while, then finally said: ¡°I bought some things, please go and get them. Try to see if they are safe, and then send them over to me¡­you will be paid.¡±


    The goods will not be sent directly to the customer, but will be stored in a special express cabinet.


    He has no way to get it, so he has to ask others.


    He doesn¡¯t dare to use these medicines directly, so it¡¯s better for someone to try them first.


    ¡°What is it?¡± asked the person opposite.


    ¡°Drug.¡± Xie Chengze replied directly.


    ¡°!!! Water God, what do you want to do?!¡±


    When Xie Chengze was busy arranging his affairs, Lu Yanzhou was in the hospital.


    The doctor has tested Xie Chengze¡¯s blood.


    ¡°The number of lymphocytes in his peripheral blood is low, but it is relatively normal¡­¡± The doctor said some technical terms, introduced Xie Chengze¡¯s situation in detail, and finally concluded: ¡°Compared with his previous situation, he is improving and is expected to recover¡­Of course, for a person like him who has not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, even if he recovers, he still lacks various antibodies in his body. In the future, he must be careful not to expose himself to too many bacteria and viruses and he cannot take vaccines for the time being. Wait until he has a certain resistance before he can take them.¡±


    People who have Xie Chengze¡¯s condition may die even if they get vaccinated.


    After the examination, the doctor was also a little curious: ¡°How did he recover?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t say this, it needs to be kept secret.¡± Lu Yanzhou begged the doctor not to tell anyone about this matter.


    Like this¡­he might be able to obtain evidence against An Chenyuan¡¯s criminal activity.


    An Chenyuan couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He didn¡¯t do anything, maybe An Chenyuan would do something.


    He has installed dozens of cameras at home. An Chenyuan will definitely fall into the trap by then!


    When Lu Yanzhou returned with the document, it was already past dinner time.


    He hadn¡¯t had dinner yet, but because of his excitement, he didn¡¯t think of eating at all. He ran upstairs as soon as he got home.


    ¡°This kid is thinking about his boss all day long.¡± Mother Lu muttered.


    Father Lu said: ¡°He gave so much money!¡± If someone gave him one million a year, he promised to value him as much as his son!


    And his son didn¡¯t actually do anything, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t even leave the glass cage.


    ¡°That¡¯s right¡­I¡¯ll heat up the food and bring it to him.¡± If Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t come back for dinner, he would definitely tell them but if he didn¡¯t say it, it means he hasn¡¯t eaten yet.


    Mother Lu went to warm up the dishes, while father Lu wandered around the house with a rag.


    After wandering around for a long time, he didn¡¯t see any dirty places, so he simply turned on the TV to watch TV.


    Madam Xie has fired him and his wife, there is a high probability that they will continue to work here¡­then they must work hard to keep their jobs.


    Speaking of which, the work here is really easy.


    In the past at Xie¡¯s company, whether they were security guards or busy in the kitchen, they basically had to stand all the time. When they stand for a long time, their backs and legs will hurt. But now here, they can take a rest when they are tired. Their son even bought some calcium tablets for them to eat so that their waist will not hurt and their legs will not be sore all at once.


    Father Lu is very satisfied with his current life.


    Old lady Wang was a little unhappy seeing father Lu and mother Lu like this.


    She liked Lu Yanzhou very much at first, but when she saw Lu Yanzhou calling his parents to prevent her from getting close to Xie Chengze, she started to have a problem with Lu Yanzhou.


    Later, master Xie told her the ins and outs, and she hated the Lu family even more.


    She wondered why Lu Yanzhou locked the third floor as soon as he went out, he didn¡¯t even let her talk to Xie Chengze alone¡­Lu Yanzhou locked up her young master!


    Her young master didn¡¯t understand anything, and usually only had contact with Lu Yanzhou¡­She heard that Lu Yanzhou had coaxed him into giving him a luxury residence.


    In the future, this villa may become Lu Yanzhou too!


    The more old lady Wang thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Fortunately, when Lu Yanzhou was at home, she was allowed to see Xie Chengze. She just stood beside him and her young master and watched them talk, so she couldn¡¯t say a lot. She was afraid of talking and was kicked out by Lu Yanzhou after.


    At that time, her young master¡¯s life will be even more difficult!


    Old lady Wang slowly went upstairs, ready to meet her young master.


    On the third floor, Lu Yanzhou took out Xie Chengze¡¯s inspection document and put it into the disinfection pipe to show Xie Chengze: ¡°You are not fully recovered yet, but you will be able to come out in a few days. However, you are not allowed to go out for the time being and you must wear a mask when you go out in the future. I have bought a lot of masks¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze had already read the report document. He looked at Lu Yanzhou with a smile, nodding no matter what Lu Yanzhou said, with a look of anticipation.


    This child is so innocent!


    Lu Yanzhou reached out and touched Xie Chengze¡¯s head, feeling that he must protect Xie Chengze in the future, lest Xie Chengze be deceived.


    By the way, he doesn¡¯t know how that Water God gets along with Xie Chengze. He¡¯s not been at home during the day recently, they should have a good chat right?


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou felt uncomfortable.


    One must know that Xie Chengze never paid attention to anyone except him in the World Management Office before. Well, Xie Chengze was also quite indifferent to him.


    Lu Yanzhou still didn¡¯t ask about ¡®Water God¡¯.


    He shouldn¡¯t interfere too much.


    The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door. Old lady Wang came.


    Lu Yanzhou let the person in and asked her to talk to Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t trust old lady Wang very much. There was no other reason, it¡¯s just that when they first moved here, Xie Yuan complained to old lady Wang, and old lady Wang believed him.


    Although Xie Yuan was indifferent to Xie Chengze, he pretended well outside. Old lady Wang believed Xie Yuan is not surprising, but Lu Yanzhou did not dare to let her contact Xie Chengze alone because of this.


    Old lady Wang is a nice person. She has no bad intentions towards Xie Chengze, but she might be taken advantage of by others!


    With Lu Yanzhou around, old lady Wang still only said a few words of concern before leaving.


    After she left, mother Lu came up to deliver food to Lu Yanzhou.


    Mother Lu is different from old lady Wang. She felt that Xie Chengze was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s boss and was very powerful, so she didn¡¯t dare to talk too much in front of Xie Chengze. She only gave her son the food then left.


    Lu Yanzhou ate with big mouthfuls. He will glance at Xie Chengze from time to time in a particularly good mood.


    Lu Yanzhou had other things to do, so he got busy after dinner.


    Xie Chengze still wanted to cling to him and pester him, but thinking that Xie Chengze would come out soon, if he was still like this at that time¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t indulge him.


    He likes Xie Chengze very much, but what if he really is with Xie Chengze¡­When Xie Chengze recovers in the future, how will he face Xie Chengze?


    Will Xie Chengze still treat him as a brother?


    With Xie Chengze¡¯s character, maybe he will never get in touch with him again!


    Lu Yanzhou felt very cold. Xie Chengze looked at him, and his heart sank again.


    Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t like him.


    Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou was still willing to give him his arm when he was sleeping.


    Before going to bed, Xie Chengze said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, do you still remember Water God?¡±


    ¡°I remember. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t mention Water God to Lu Yanzhou these days, but it¡¯s impossible for Lu Yanzhou not to remember this person whom Xie Chengze praised and praised.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°He will come to give me something tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°What for?¡± Lu Yanzhou subconsciously asked.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say anything.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou felt sour ¨C Xie Chengze has a secret!


    Xie Chengze would tell him everything before.


    However, even though he was sour, Lu Yanzhou still said: ¡°I¡¯m just asking casually, I¡¯m afraid you will be deceived. You don¡¯t have to say anything if you don¡¯t want to¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s something to eat.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Eat¡­you can¡¯t eat too much.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t I recovering?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    That¡¯s right, it¡¯s okay for Xie Chengze to have some snacks now¡­Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°When the things arrive tomorrow, I¡¯ll bring them to you.¡±


    He will also go to buy some food tomorrow, and he will buy more than that person too!


    He still has some understanding of Xie Chengze¡¯s tastes. The things he buys are definitely more in line with Xie Chengze¡¯s wishes than those bought by that ¡®Water God¡¯!


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but want to compete with that Water God, but after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly realized something was wrong.


    He and Xie Chengze have never met, what is he in such a hurry for?


    And with him like this, it¡¯s clear that he has a crush on Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s soul was broken, so his life was very bad, but he only thought about these things¡­Lu Yanzhou always felt that he had wronged Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze had already fallen asleep, sleeping peacefully.


    He suffered from childhood and never had a good life.


    He did this to save the World Management Office.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart hurts. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Xie Chengze was not asleep.


    He encountered too many things today, so it was difficult to fall asleep. Now he is just pretending to sleep holding Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm.


    Lu Yanzhou said to him¡­sorry?


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou went to buy a bunch of food after all. He went to the guard¡¯s side to get the things Water God sent to Xie Chengze.


    He took all of these to the third floor, and then put the various snacks he bought into the disinfection pipe first.


    These snacks are not 100% sterile. If it were before, Lu Yanzhou would never give them to Xie Chengze, but now that Xie Chengze is recovering, it doesn¡¯t matter much.


    After delivering the things he bought, Lu Yanzhou opened the package sent by Water God. He found that there were some miscellaneous things inside with a few bottles of wine.


    ¡°Why did he even send wine?¡± Lu Yanzhou frowned. Although Xie Chengze was an adult, he had never drunk alcohol before, so he shouldn¡¯t drink it.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t know my situation.¡± Xie Chengze glanced at the wine, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, Water God said that this wine is delicious.¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t fully recovered, so you can¡¯t drink.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°I just want to try it¡­I won¡¯t drink much, just taste. I can drink it in a few days¡­I don¡¯t even know what wine tastes like.¡± Xie Chengze was a little depressed again.


    Recently, Lu Yanzhou tried his best to distance himself from Xie Chengze, and Xie Chengze was often depressed.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to see this appearance, so he quickly put all the things into the disinfection pipe: ¡°I¡¯ll send it in for you¡­don¡¯t drink too much, just have a taste. It doesn¡¯t feel good to be drunk.¡±


    ¡°Mm!¡± Xie Chengze immediately smiles, quietly watching the medicine mixed with the wine and snacks enter his sterile room through the sterile pipe.


    After Lu Yanzhou delivered the things, he went out. Xie Chengze returned to the bedroom and turned on the computer.


    The person on the other side of the computer has already sent a lot of messages: ¡°Water God, are you there?¡±


    ¡°Have you received the things?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to live in that villa area. The villas there are not cheap, right?¡±


    ¡°Water God, take this thing as soon as you get it, don¡¯t do illegal and criminal things though!¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze read the message and replied: ¡°Got it.¡±


    ¡°You just received it! Water God, what do you want these things for?¡± The person on the other end of the computer was very confused.


    The Water God he admired asked him to get aphrodisiac and medicine.


    This is really shocking!


    Putting these two things together, Water God probably wanted to attack someone, right?


    If Water God hadn¡¯t repeatedly assured that he would never commit any crime, he would definitely not have helped.


    ¡°Have you tried it? Is the medicine safe?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    He originally just wanted to buy some medicine that day. If he had the chance, he would give it to Lu Yanzhou, and then kiss him however he wanted.


    Later, he saw other medicines¡­so he bought some.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted him to die, shouldn¡¯t he¡­also give him some compensation?


    He has never been in love in his life, nor has he been close to anyone. He can die quietly without pursuing the fact that Lu Yanzhou wanted to kill him, but Lu Yanzhou should also pay the price.


    ¡°I¡¯ve tried it, I¡¯ve tried it, it¡¯s safe.¡± The person on the other end of the computer said.


    He is a college student, so he specially asked for two mice from the medical school to test the drug. When the medicine was used, the two mice fainted.


    This so-called medicine is actually sevoflurane, which is volatile and non-flammable. It can be used for general anesthesia with minimal side effects.


    The concentration Xie Chengze bought was very low. He covered the mouse¡¯s nose with a handkerchief and the mouse fainted. When he smelled some, he also became dizzy, but he soon returned to normal.


    With that, half the amount has been used!


    So Water God using the remaining half shouldn¡¯t have much effect?


    As for the aphrodisiac medicine, the mice were too dizzy to try it, so he tried it and the effect was very good!


    His skin was almost worn out by his own hands!


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xie Chengze replied, and then directly transferred one million to him.


    ¡°!!!¡±


    ¡°Water God, did you make a wrong turn?¡±


    ¡°1 million?!!!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s for you.¡± Xie Chengze said. As far as he knew, the person¡¯s family was not well off.


    He asked others to help him test the medicine, so he deserved the money.


    ¡°Worship the boss!¡±


    ¡°Boss is too rich, wuuuuu.¡±


    ¡°Please take care of me!¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze replied with a series of periods and didn¡¯t want to talk to him.


    The person on the opposite side said again: ¡°The aphrodisiac medicine is very effective. Big brother, use it well!¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Um.¡± This is not for him, but for Lu Yanzhou.


    Of course, if Lu Yanzhou was unconscious, it might be useless¡­


    It¡¯s even possible that he won¡¯t need these two medicines ¨C Lu Yanzhou may not give him this chance.


    ¡°Using too much of that drug has side effects, so be careful¡­¡± the person on the other side said again.


    Although he used half of it, he only made two little mice unconscious. The two little mice are still alive and kicking at the moment, but this is not a good thing after all, it is best not to use it¡­


    He was really afraid that Water God would get arrested!


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze replied again.


    If there are side effects¡­he will just use less.

 CH 22

    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t eat a single bite of the snacks that Lu Yanzhou brought in.


    The outer packages of these foods are sterilized, but the contents inside are not guaranteed to be sterile. If he suffers from health problems after eating them, the gains will not outweigh the losses.


    As for those two medicines¡­he has no chance to use them yet.


    Lu Yanzhou still spends very little time at home these days, avoiding him as before, and occasionally showing a guilty look.


    Xie Chengze pretended not to see it and faced Lu Yanzhou as before, sticking to Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s birthday is March 2nd. He was born on this day, and he entered a sterile environment shortly after his birth. Twenty-three years have passed.


    If he is not sick, he should have just got out of college at this age with a bright future.


    Given his family background, he can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn¡¯t break the law.


    But now, he probably won¡¯t live for a few more days.


    There are too many people who want him dead.


    On the night of March 1st, Xie Chengze said to Lu Yanzhou, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, can you come in and accompany me?¡±


    Xie Chengze often raised this request recently, but Lu Yanzhou never agreed, and this time was no exception: ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Why not?¡±


    ¡°I still have a lot of things to do.¡± Lu Yanzhou found a random excuse.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to spend my birthday with me?¡± Xie Chengze sticks to the plastic film.


    Lu Yanzhou was helpless: ¡°AZe, your birthday is just tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°But I was born in the early morning¡­I read a book before, I saw that someone would send a message to a friend at midnight. They will be the first person to wish them a happy birthday¡­¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°But¡­It¡¯s been years since anyone said happy birthday to me.¡±


    Xie Chengze behaved very pitifully.


    He was about to die, so before he died, Lu Yanzhou should treat him better and spend more time with him.


    Seeing Xie Chengze like this, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t bear to refuse anymore. He sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll come in to accompany you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took a closer look at Xie Chengze. It¡¯s been a few days so Xie Chengze should have absorbed all the merits, so there shouldn¡¯t be any problem¡­Lu Yanzhou said again: ¡°I¡¯ll take a shower before I come in.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou washed himself carefully.


    He didn¡¯t have a cold or fever recently, and there shouldn¡¯t be any germs on his body after washing¡­Lu Yanzhou planned to go in without wearing the protective suit today.


    Sooner or later, he will have to touch Xie Chengze, so it¡¯s better to get used to it sooner.


    Lu Yanzhou turned off the disinfection pipeline power supply and walked in, then knocked on the glass door connecting the inner room to the sterile room.


    The inside and outside of the disinfection equipment of the disinfection pipeline can be open and closed from outside, but this glass door can only be opened by the people inside.


    Xie Chengze opened the door.


    Lu Yanzhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, and sure enough, he stopped the person who was rushing up to hug him.


    Lu Yanzhou had been close to Xie Chengze before, but at that time it was either through the plastic film or the protective suit, both of which were very thick, so there was no real feeling at all.


    Touching Xie Chengze¡¯s body at this moment, he clearly felt how soft Xie Chengze¡¯s body was. He wanted to hug him.


    The crucial thing is that Xie Chengze still rushed over to kiss him!


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t do this¡­If you do this again, I will go out.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t move. He sat down on the floor of the sterile room, blinked his clear eyes and looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Blinking, blinking¡­ Tears came out, hanging on his eyelashes.


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly wiped his tears: ¡°Why did you cry?¡±


    Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand: ¡°This is the first time I touched someone¡­Brother Yanzhou, do you really can¡¯t give me a kiss?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou gritted his teeth and said firmly, ¡°No.¡±


    Xie Chengze was full of disappointment.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I said before that this is something that can only be done to a lover.¡±


    ¡°I love you, don¡¯t you love me?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Of course Lu Yanzhou loves Xie Chengze.


    He has been single for so many years, the only person he has ever loved is Xie Chengze.


    It¡¯s just that he loved the cold Xie Chengze before, and now he loves the simple and pitiful Xie Chengze in front of him.


    Lu Yanzhou has always felt that he looks a bit like a scum recently. Now that he is facing the pitiful Xie Chengze, this feeling is even worse.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t answer, Xie Chengze secretly sighed.


    He acted like a baby to make Lu Yanzhou come in, but he didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to come in without a protective suit.


    Everyone has germs on their bodies. Lu Yanzhou came in directly to get along with him like this. He is afraid that he, who has no immunity at all, would get infected.


    No, there is no need for Lu Yanzhou to get along with him. The unsterilized air he brought in when he opened the door just now may cause him an accident.


    He felt unspeakably uncomfortable at this moment.


    How could Lu Yanzhou¡­watch him die so calmly?


    However, he also didn¡¯t want to live at all. He wanted to live some time ago because of Lu Yanzhou.


    Now that Lu Yanzhou wants him to die, it doesn¡¯t really matter if he dies.


    It¡¯s just that he thinks¡­Lu Yanzhou is also quite stupid.


    He originally thought that Lu Yanzhou would use An Chenyuan¡¯s hand to kill him, or make him walk out of the sterile room by himself¡­But Lu Yanzhou actually came in!


    Like this, when he dies in the future, Lu Yanzhou will most likely face imprisonment.


    He originally planned to cooperate with Lu Yanzhou, pretending not to know about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s plan to harm him, but now he couldn¡¯t help Lu Yanzhou even if he wanted to.


    What¡¯s more, he likes Lu Yanzhou so much, why doesn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou know how to coax him to get more money?


    Directly killing him like this, his money would never reach Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hands.


    Or¡­Lu Yanzhou finds him annoying and doesn¡¯t want to coax him anymore?


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mind has been very disturbed these past few days, so he couldn¡¯t sleep at night. He just stared at Lu Yanzhou in a daze at this moment.


    ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Stare at your beauty!¡±


    The reason why Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou so boldly before was because of the plastic film.


    And he is still bold now because he feels that he will not live long.


    A dying person is naturally not afraid of anything.


    Lu Yanzhou was embarrassed by Xie Chengze¡¯s stare, but at this moment, Xie Chengze stood up and said, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, shall we drink some wine?¡±


    ¡°Drink?¡± Lu Yanzhou frowned.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I have never had a sip of the wine that Water God gave me¡­Shall we taste it together?¡±


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou has always been worried about letting Xie Chengze drink, but now that Xie Chengze wants to drink together, it was exactly what he wanted: ¡°You can only drink a little.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze laughed. He took out a can of wine and also took out all the snacks Lu Yanzhou bought for him before.


    When Lu Yanzhou came in, he had already decided to accompany Xie Chengze until midnight.


    He didn¡¯t allow Xie Chengze to stay up late before, even on New Year¡¯s Eve, he make Xie Chengze go to bed early, but now that Xie Chengze¡¯s body has recovered, it¡¯s not a big deal to go to bed late occasionally.


    He didn¡¯t want to hug Xie Chengze, so why don¡¯t they just eat something and drink together?


    When Lu Yanzhou was on Earth, he could drink quite well, but he didn¡¯t like drinking very much.


    The wine given to Xie Chengze by Water God is a relatively rare wine with a good taste but it has higher alcohol content than ordinary wine.


    Lu Yanzhou opened a can, poured about 20 milliliters for Xie Chengze, then took a big gulp from the can.


    Xie Chengze was slightly taken aback when he saw Lu Yanzhou¡¯s behavior.


    He has investigated Lu Yanzhou to the bottom these few days, and according to the information he knows¡­Lu Yanzhou is not a very good drinker.


    Although Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t drink enough like a glass yet, his drinking capacity was only about two cans of beer.


    Now that he drinks so freely, isn¡¯t he afraid of getting drunk?


    Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t think about it, he was in a very complicated mood these days.


    He didn¡¯t dare to get close to Xie Chengze because he was afraid that he would do something irreversible. However, seeing Xie Chengze sad because of his distance, he also felt uncomfortable.


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was looking at him eagerly¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t dare to look at him again, so he finished the can of wine in two or three gulps.


    In the past summer, there was always a lot of wine in his refrigerator. When he gets home from work, he will open a can to relieve the heat. Beer is actually similar to a beverage for him.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, do you want more?¡± Xie Chengze gave Lu Yanzhou another can.


    If Lu Yanzhou was drunk¡­it would save him the trouble.


    Lu Yanzhou took the can of wine, opened it, took a sip, then stopped drinking.


    After drinking a can of wine, his stomach is full of liquid. He didn¡¯t want to drink a second can for a while.


    Slowing down, Lu Yanzhou took a bag of potato chips and opened it: ¡°AZe, these potato chips are delicious, try it.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze took a piece of potato chips and ate them: ¡°It¡¯s delicious, I¡¯ve never eaten something so delicious!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt more and more uncomfortable, and suddenly said: ¡°AZe, can you give me a bag of nutritious food that you usually eat? I want to try it.¡±


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou and smiled: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Xie Chengze unpacked a bag of specially prepared food that he usually ate. He squeezed it into a bowl and sprinkled the aphrodisiac hidden in his pocket without hesitation.


    He had crushed the medicine into powder before, so it is very convenient to use now.


    After mixing it with a spoon, Xie Chengze handed it to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou took a little bite with the spoon.


    This food was not tasty at all, and it still had a bitter taste. Even though he is not a picky eater, he still felt that he couldn¡¯t eat it.


    Lu Yanzhou was not in a good mood, but after tasting this thing, he felt even more uncomfortable.


    What kind of life has Xie Chengze been living these years?


    When those people prepare food for him, don¡¯t they ever consider the taste?


    Fortunately, Xie Chengze will be able to live a normal life in the future.


    He obviously should let Xie Chengze live a life where he can get whatever he wants, but now he even refuses Xie Chengze request to get closer to him¡­


    One bite at a time, Lu Yanzhou ate up the whole bowl of mush.


    The paste tasted bad, so he drank a few sips of wine in the middle to get the paste down.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou?¡± Seeing that Lu Yanzhou was silent, Xie Chengze called out.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled at Xie Chengze. He gave him another piece of chocolate: ¡°AZe, try this.¡±


    Xie Chengze took a bite of chocolate and observed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face was very red, but he was not drunk yet. The medicine didn¡¯t seem to have worked¡­


    Xie Chengze brought out another can of different wine: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I still want to taste the taste of this wine.¡±


    If Lu Yanzhou got drunk straight away, he wouldn¡¯t need to use the medicine.


    Thinking that Xie Chengze drank a little wine just now¡­Lu Yanzhou opened the third can of wine and poured another 20ml for Xie Chengze.


    With so little, he tastes it, but the wine is not very tasty¡­Xie Chengze drank it in one gulp, frowning slightly.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°Not very tasty.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°So drink less in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou stroked Xie Chengze¡¯s hair.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s hair was very soft. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart fluttered, he felt the urge to kiss him.


    Not only that, but his body also felt a little hot. He wanted to hug Xie Chengze and rub Xie Chengze into his body.


    Lu Yanzhou picked up the wine in hand and took a few more sips, trying to suppress the heat in his heart, but the more he drank, the hotter he became.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly realized something, crushing the wine can in his hand.


    He seems to be drunk! He also coveted Xie Chengze because of drinking.


    After recalling it carefully, the original owner¡¯s drinking capacity¡­seems to be very bad?


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mind was already a little chaotic. Right now he really wanted to hug Xie Chengze and kiss Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze has never been hugged before, why did he reject him before and make him sad?


    Lu Yanzhou stood up and hugged Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe¡­¡± The person he likes was in his arms, Lu Yanzhou hugged him tighter and tighter.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou?¡± Xie Chengze called out.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly regained his senses. He suddenly realized¡­he actually wanted to do even worse things to Xie Chengze!


    It shouldn¡¯t be!


    Besides, he is simply a beast. After drinking a little wine, he plots against Xie Chengze!


    Lu Yanzhou pinched himself, pushing Xie Chengze away and said, ¡°I¡¯m a little uncomfortable. AZe, I¡¯m leaving first¡­¡±


    ¡°You said you would accompany me.¡± Xie Chengze took Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand.


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly shook Xie Chengze¡¯s hand away: ¡°I have something to do¡­¡± If he stayed any longer, he might hurt Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was pushed away and froze on the spot.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Sorry¡­AZe, I really still have things to do¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou came to the glass door of the sterilization pipeline and wanted to open it.


    It¡¯s just that he has never opened the door before, so he couldn¡¯t open it the first time.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou.¡± At this moment, Xie Chengze came over again. He took a wet towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead, and then wiped his nose.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s legs gave way, he sat down on the ground feeling dizzy. He just wanted to fall asleep like this.


    The medicine Xie Chengze bought is colorless and tasteless, so pouring it on the towel to cover someone¡¯s mouth and nose can make a person unconscious.


    He bought the amount for one time use. Half of the medicine was already used before for testing, so he didn¡¯t dare to use all the remaining half.


    But the effect seem to be pretty good?


    Xie Chengze leaned into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms and kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Before he dies, he will be willful.


    Xie Chengze went down to the ground and kissed Lu Yanzhou. Suddenly, Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He hugged Xie Chengze and called out in a low voice, ¡°AZe.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart trembled, but holding Lu Yanzhou¡¯s head, he kissed him.

 CH 23

    When Lu Yanzhou woke up, it was already dawn. He hugged Xie Chengze and squeezed into the small bed in Xie Chengze¡¯s bedroom.


    Many things in Xie Chengze¡¯s bedroom had been swept to the floor, so it was a mess. Xie Chengze frowned, as if he was very uncomfortable.


    Lu Yanzhou pinched himself hard.


    What he did last night was no better than a beast. He even ate the person up while he was drunk.


    Although he drank alcohol yesterday, Lu Yanzhou was sober from beginning to end. At that time, he wanted to leave, but Xie Chengze suddenly came to kiss him, so he couldn¡¯t control himself.


    Getting up cautiously, Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze and felt Xie Chengze¡¯s head, feeling panicked.


    Xie Chengze has a fever!


    He is completely inexperienced and he was also drunk last night. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still hurt Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze¡¯s own resistance is weak too¡­


    Lu Yanzhou let Xie Chengze lie on the bed, got up and began to get dressed.


    He must find someone to come and see Xie Chengze!


    Xie Chengze is still sleeping¡­Worried about waking him up, Lu Yanzhou opened the door of the sterile room and went to the balcony, then called the doctor he knew and asked him to come and take a look.


    In the bedroom, as soon as Lu Yanzhou went out, Xie Chengze opened his eyes.


    When Lu Yanzhou woke up, he woke up too.


    What happened last night was a bit beyond his expectations.


    He gave Lu Yanzhou aphrodisiac medicine to just avoid Lu Yanzhou from not responding at all¡­It was just aphrodisiac medicine, not the kind of medicine that would make others explode and die like in novels.


    He didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reaction to be so strong!


    Now his head is dizzy and his body is hot, is he going to die?


    Maybe at this moment, lung infection and sepsis have all found him.


    But he didn¡¯t regret it at all. Before death¡­one should go crazy.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t clean him up? If he died like this, the police could easily find Lu Yanzhou through the traces on his body, right?


    Xie Chengze usually doesn¡¯t like to exercise, now he feels even worse, so he just lays down motionless.


    He also thought that if Lu Yanzhou destroyed his body, such as setting it on fire or something¡­then the police wouldn¡¯t be able to find anything.


    His mind was in chaos, but at this moment, Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou was back again.


    He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and then he felt Lu Yanzhou tidying up the room. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yanzhou began to clean every aspect of his body.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t move the whole time, and let him do whatever he wanted.


    Lu Yanzhou wiped his body, changed him into clean clothes, and said, ¡°AZe, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t respond.


    Lu Yanzhou said again: ¡°I know you¡¯re awake.¡±


    Xie Chengze opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°How do you know?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said helplessly: ¡°Your eyelashes were trembling.¡± He didn¡¯t notice that Xie Chengze was awake at first, but soon after Xie Chengze moved more or less, so he naturally noticed.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and said, ¡°Kiss me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou leaned down and kissed Xie Chengze, and then said: ¡°AZe, it was all my fault last night, I¡¯m sorry¡­Don¡¯t worry, I will take responsibility.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had been refusing before because he was afraid that if he was with Xie Chengze, when Xie Chengze recovered his memory in the future, he would have no way to explain it.


    Then they might not be friends anymore!


    But now that something like this happened, he was already so close to Xie Chengze¡­He couldn¡¯t just give up.


    Especially when Xie Chengze really needs him now.


    Even if Xie Chengze recovers in the future and was angry, irritated, and beat him up¡­He will always treat Xie Chengze well in his life.


    Xie Chengze was a little at a loss. He always felt that the situation in front of him was not quite right.


    Lu Yanzhou actually solemnly told him that he would be responsible for him?


    ¡°AZe, would you like some water?¡± Lu Yanzhou poured a glass of water.


    Xie Chengze nodded.


    Helping Xie Chengze up, Lu Yanzhou brought the water glass to his mouth and slowly fed it to him.


    Feeding, feeding, he couldn¡¯t hold back and kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s forehead.


    After he came to this world, he wanted to take good care of Xie Chengze, but he couldn¡¯t even touch Xie Chengze before, so he had to control his emotions¡­


    But right now, he can do whatever he wants.


    Xie Chengze was even more at a loss.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cell phone rang. He glanced at the cell phone and said to Xie Chengze, ¡°The doctor is here. I¡¯ll pick him up and take him to see you.¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he kissed Xie Chengze again, and then rushed downstairs.


    Xie Chengze looked at the ceiling and felt even more dizzy.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly brought the doctor up.


    The doctor, who had discussed Xie Chengze¡¯s condition with Lu Yanzhou, had a cold face. He said as soon as he entered the door: ¡°You are too eager! He had just recovered, you can¡¯t bear it?¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou called the doctor, he told him what happened last night, and now he said guiltily: ¡°It¡¯s my fault¡­¡±


    ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t blame you¡­¡± Seeing Lu Yanzhou like this, the doctor comforted Lu Yanzhou instead.


    Lu Yanzhou often told him about Xie Chengze¡¯s situation. At that time, he felt that the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze was not simple. Now it seems¡­These two people must have been in love for a long time, they were a homosexual couple.


    Although they were together every day, they could never touch each other. Now that Xie Chengze¡¯s illness has finally recovered, it¡¯s normal to be excited and do something.


    Seeing folding beds, desks, and even clothes hangers beside the sterile room on the third floor, Lu Yanzhou probably usually lives here, so it is even harder for the doctor to say anything.


    He shouldn¡¯t worry too much about the young couple.


    When he came to Xie Chengze¡¯s side, the doctor first took Xie Chengze¡¯s temperature with a thermometer.


    ¡°Thirty-eight degrees eight. He has a fever. He needs to take some antipyretics. I¡¯ll take some of his blood and send it for a test. If it¡¯s not serious, he won¡¯t need antibiotics.¡± The doctor did a simple check, then took Xie Chengze¡¯s blood, and said: ¡± By the way, if he¡¯s hurt, you must apply the medicine. I brought you the medicine, just take good care of him.¡±


    ¡°I will take good care of him.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Although Xie Chengze had a fever, it was not very serious, so the doctor quickly left after.


    Lu Yanzhou sent the doctor away, then brought up a bowl of porridge with beaten eggs in it: ¡°AZe, come, drink some porridge, then take the antipyretic.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at the spoon Lu Yanzhou sent to him, and opened his mouth.


    He felt more and more¡­that something is wrong.


    After feeding him the porridge, Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to take the medicine, and said again: ¡°I¡¯ll rub the medicine on you, then you have a good sleep¡­I planned to take you out to play secretly, but now you can¡¯t go¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou talks a lot.


    The more Xie Chengze listened, the more strange he felt.


    During this period of time, Lu Yanzhou has been very indifferent to him, and it was even more so last night¡ªhe was so active, and Lu Yanzhou wanted to push him away!


    Later Lu Yanzhou wouldn¡¯t even touch his hands.


    He thought at the time that Lu Yanzhou must hate him a lot, but after one night, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s attitude suddenly changed.


    Just as Xie Chengze was thinking about this, Lu Yanzhou wrapped him up in a soft quilt.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°You hug me to sleep.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡­Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t ask for more.


    Xie Chengze frowned as he watched Lu Yanzhou lay beside him.


    Lu Yanzhou wasn¡¯t afraid that if they fell asleep like this, he would suddenly die?


    If Lu Yanzhou lay with him like this, won¡¯t there be any psychological shadow?


    He didn¡¯t think too much about it. He couldn¡¯t sleep well a few days ago and was so tired from last night, so he fell asleep very quickly.


    This nap lasted until the afternoon. Xie Chengze woke up after he felt something in his ear. When he woke up, he saw Lu Yanzhou taking his temperature with an ear thermometer.


    ¡°AZe, are you awake? You have slept for five hours. Your body is a little hot, so I was just taking your temperature¡­Your temperature is high again, you need to take another antipyretic later.¡±


    Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou blankly.


    Xie Chengze was very clingy before, but after waking up today, probably because he was unwell, he was very quiet all the time.


    Lu Yanzhou was afraid that he would make all kinds of demands like before, but now that he doesn¡¯t say anything, he is a little uncomfortable and he really wants to kiss him¡­


    Lu Yanzhou lowered his head and kissed him again.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze fell asleep, and although his body temperature rose again, the feeling of dizziness disappeared after taking the antipyretics.


    ¡°Do you want to go to the toilet?¡± Lu Yanzhou reached out to help him.


    Xie Chengze was helped into the toilet by him, but he felt that he didn¡¯t need someone to help him at all¡­


    Although he had a fever, he didn¡¯t feel particularly uncomfortable. Is this a final radiance of the setting sun1the very happy thing one receives before their death2?


    He was about to die, why was Lu Yanzhou still so close to him? Want to leave more evidence of his murder?


    No way¡­Lu Yanzhou is actually so stupid. He really thinks that doing good deeds will make him better. He must think that he is already recovered, right?


    How is this possible!


    While Xie Chengze was in a trance, Lu Yanzhou had already helped him put on his pants, then asked him: ¡°AZe, do you want to bask in the sun?¡±


    It¡¯s already afternoon, and the winter sun is very comfortable to bask in.


    Xie Chengze always wanted to stay in the sun for a moment without anything to block him, so he answered immediately: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou found a coat for Xie Chengze to put on, then picked up Xie Chengze and carried Xie Chengze to the balcony.


    Xie Chengze was in a daze today so he walked very slowly, probably because he was also not very comfortable.


    The sun at three in the afternoon shone on his body. It¡¯s not very dazzling but very warm.


    Looking out from the balcony, he can see various green scenes in the community. S City is located in the south. Although it is cold in winter, it is still full of green.


    There is a large garden in front of every villa in this community, and Zhang¡¯s villa is also the same. Looking down from the third floor, he can also see the koi flicking their tails in the garden pond.


    Not only that, Xie Chengze also experienced the feeling of the wind blowing on his face for the first time.


    He stood stupidly on the balcony.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t speak at first, but after a while he said: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t stand in the wind for too long, be careful of getting sick.¡±


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou stepped forward and closed the window.


    At this moment, Xie Chengze got up suddenly and jumped a few times on the spot.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°You don¡¯t feel well today, so we won¡¯t exercise.¡±


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°How long will it take me to recover?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was a little embarrassed: ¡°Although I was very restrained yesterday, you still suffered a little injury¡­I read the blood test report, it¡¯s not serious, so you don¡¯t need antibiotics. You should be fine after a few days of rest¡­Don¡¯t go out these days, you are sick and weak now¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou rambled on and on.


    At this moment, Xie Chengze felt that he had been struck by a thunderbolt.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t seem to have any intention like he is going to kill him, and he also coaxed him like this, so¡­


    Did he really recover?


    Can he go out under the sun?


    If he really recovered and what Lu Yanzhou told him before is true, then what had he done last night?

 CH 24

    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze was a bit silly today.


    Is this because he is too excited?


    But Xie Chengze¡¯s expression doesn¡¯t seem to be happy¡­


    ¡°AZe, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze is well, he felt that he should call ¡®Brother Yanzhou¡¯ as sweetly as before. However, he couldn¡¯t turn the corner1Their thought can¡¯t be turn/switch/change in time for the time, so he remained silent and looked straight at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were full of concern.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to cry, but his tears suddenly fell.


    ¡°Aze¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou wiped his tears with his hands, but the result was that more and more fell, ¡°Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or did I say something wrong? Aze, I was the one who was wrong last night.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just happy,¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°And last night¡­it was my fault.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was helpless, why was Xie Chengze at fault last night? Although Xie Chengze took the initiative, in the final analysis, it was still because of him.


    He really wanted to leave at that time, it¡¯s not like he couldn¡¯t leave then.


    Xie Chengze only knew how to kiss him at that time, he didn¡¯t do anything else¡­Ahem, it was himself who took the initiative.


    Well, Xie Chengze is too attached to him. No matter what he does, Xie Chengze thinks there is no problem.


    Rubbing Xie Chengze¡¯s head, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Okay, don¡¯t cry, do you want to eat anything?¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t answer the question, but instead asked: ¡°Didn¡¯t you always avoid me before? Why are you being so nice to me now?¡±


    Before, Lu Yanzhou was always thinking about keeping a distance from Xie Chengze but the situation has changed now.


    He couldn¡¯t bear to see Xie Chengze sad, so he directly admitted at this time: ¡°I really like you, well I should say I really love you¡­I was afraid that you were still young and didn¡¯t know about feelings, so you took family affection as love¡­You are still young.¡±


    Xie Chengze was speechless: ¡°You are only a few years older than me!¡± Is it because of this reason that Lu Yanzhou alienated him? He wanted to be angry a little bit, but he really couldn¡¯t get angry.


    ¡°We¡¯re different. You didn¡¯t meet many people before¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± what could he not see online? He has seen more weird things than Lu Yanzhou!


    ¡°Aze, I love you. Don¡¯t worry, I will do my best to treat you in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze¡¯s face and kissed him on the forehead.


    Xie Chengze hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.


    ¡°However, if one day you feel that we are not suitable, we can separate¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou continued, he felt that he still had to give Xie Chengze the right to choose.


    Xie Chengze, who was still moved just now, got angry from it, so he bit Lu Yanzhou¡¯s neck. This kind of breaking up things, Lu Yanzhou don¡¯t even think about it!


    He was not in good health before, so he never thought of staying with Lu Yanzhou, but now he is in good health¡­Lu Yanzhou is his, no one else can get involved!


    After Xie Chengze finished biting, he blinked his red and swollen eyes: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I don¡¯t want to hear you say we will seperate.¡±


    ¡°Okay, we won¡¯t be separated. Don¡¯t worry, I will always be by your side.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The corner of Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth curled up: ¡°Mm¡­remember what you say.¡±


    ¡°I always keep my word.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes lit up.


    If Lu Yanzhou really keeps his word¡­Then Lu Yanzhou gave him a lot of promises before!


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you are so kind, I love you so much!¡± Xie Chengze kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Before, he felt that Xie Chengze was too cute and a bit overwhelming, but now he felt even worse.


    He is too sweet!


    Really¡­No matter what Xie Chengze wants, he is willing to give it with both hands.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want anything, he just wanted Lu Yanzhou to accompany him.


    So Lu Yanzhou, who went downstairs to eat some time ago, went upstairs with a bowl to eat. He also brought some for Xie Chengze to eat.


    Lu Yanzhou shared a portion of the meals with Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, except for the doctor who saw you just now, no one else knows about your recovery, and neither does my parents. Let¡¯s keep it a secret for now.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Someone wants to harm you,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait a few days to see if we can catch them with the current situation.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze nodded obediently, then stuffed vegetables from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bowl with a chopstick into his mouth.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou picked up another green vegetable with the chopstick and gave him another one: ¡°You like to eat green vegetables? Then eat more.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°I don¡¯t like to eat vegetables, I like to eat the food in your bowl!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Why did he feel that¡­Xie Chengze is unusually alluring?


    However, this is just a starter.


    Xie Chengze probably got better after resting in the morning, he started clinging to him again.


    No matter how much Xie Chengze stuck to him before, it was through a plastic film, but now the two of them can touch each other directly!


    Xie Chengze held his hand at first, but later he took out his laptop to work and couldn¡¯t hold hands, so Xie Chengze sat on the ground next to his chair and tried to hug his leg.


    Lu Yanzhou was a little helpless: ¡°Aze, is this a bit exaggerated?¡±


    Xie Chengze now seems to be¡­unable to leave him for a moment.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I want to be next to you.¡±


    He is telling the truth.


    He used to always feel empty in his heart, but when Lu Yanzhou hugged him through the plastic film, it always made him feel better.


    Now that he recovered from his illness, he could directly touch Lu Yanzhou¡­He found that touching Lu Yanzhou could give him an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.


    He didn¡¯t want to do anything, he just wanted to be next to Lu Yanzhou, who made him feel at ease.


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback for a moment, probably knowing why Xie Chengze did this.


    Xie Chengze really liked to touch him before, so he wondered if Xie Chengze would have skin hunger and thirst, now he has confirmed it.


    Humans need skin-to-skin contact, and parents touching a child when he is young can make them develop better.


    But Xie Chengze has never been hugged, kissed, and touched.


    He naturally craves touch, the skin-to-skin contact.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t bear to reject Xie Chengze.


    After working for a while, Lu Yanzhou looked at his phone and suddenly said, ¡°AZe, I¡¯m going to get something, wait for me.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, come back quickly!¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou replied.


    Lu Yanzhou ran downstairs, while Xie Chengze immediately started watching the surveillance.


    In the surveillance, Lu Yanzhou ran downstairs and out of the villa¡­


    The monitoring of the community is still very easy to invade. He has already invaded it. He saw Lu Yanzhou running all the way to the community gate, and then took a¡­cake from the delivery man?


    Xie Chengze suddenly realized that today is his birthday.


    He forgot about it!


    Lu Yanzhou in the surveillance was running back holding the cake¡­Xie Chengze was very sure that this was the happiest birthday he had ever had in his life.


    It was the first time Xie Chengze got to eat a cake.


    He had eaten the snacks Lu Yanzhou prepared for him before, and today he also drank porridge and ate food.


    They were delicious, much better than anything he had eaten before, but none of them tasted as good as cakes.


    How could there be such a delicious thing in this world!


    Xie Chengze ate a small piece, then he wanted to eat more.


    Lu Yanzhou refused: ¡°You can¡¯t eat any more, eating too much will cause diarrhea.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten such a delicious thing, I want to eat some more¡­¡± Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm, and looked at Lu Yanzhou eagerly.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t resist, so Xie Chengze had diarrhea the next day.


    The doctor, who came for the follow-up visit, learned the whole story and was speechless again: ¡°He used to eat very monotonously, but now he has just started to eat the food that ordinary people eat, so he should eat something light to get used to it, why did you let him eat so much cake in one go.¡±


    ¡°I will definitely take care of him in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou admitted his mistake.


    The doctor couldn¡¯t do anything about them either. Think about it carefully, a person who has never eaten anything good suddenly comes into contact with delicious food, it¡¯s normal to eat too much: ¡°He no longer has a fever. Take good care of him, and, for the time being, you¡¯d better not have intercourse, ahem.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Lu Yanzhou was also a little embarrassed. If he hadn¡¯t drunk that day, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have done such a thing¡­


    Xie Chengze covered his stomach and groaned beside him. In the past two days, a certain part of him has suffered a great crime!


    Although Xie Chengze has an upset stomach, he is still very interested in food.


    When drinking before, Lu Yanzhou unpacked the potato chips and didn¡¯t see him eating too much, but today¡­Lu Yanzhou discovered that he secretly opened a bag of potato chips and put them in the quilt to eat.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­Lu Yanzhou used his trump card: ¡°AZe, if you eat indiscriminately, I won¡¯t sleep with you at night.¡±


    Food is not as important as sleep! Xie Chengze threw the potato chips in his hand away without hesitation.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s recovery took only three days.


    Three days later, Lu Yanzhou had to go out to work.


    He comforted Xie Chengze before going to the company.


    After he left, Xie Chengze immediately turned on the computer and connected to the company¡¯s monitoring system, ready to see what Lu Yanzhou was doing outside.


    While Lu Yanzhou hasn¡¯t arrived at the company yet¡­Xie Chengze took the time to look at the messages.


    In the past few days, the friend who helped him test the medicine sent him a lot of messages.


    Well, now this one has become his friend.


    ¡°Water God, Water God, are you alright?¡±


    ¡°Water God, if you are online, answer me!¡±


    ¡°Water God, why haven¡¯t you been online?¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze replied: ¡°I¡¯m online.¡±


    ¡°Water God, you are finally here! You haven¡¯t been online for the past few days, I¡¯m so worried! Are you okay!¡± The college student who has a good relationship with Xie Chengze is named Jiang Tianshuo.


    He was really anxious these days because he was afraid that the Water God he worshiped would take those medicines to violate others.


    If Water God is caught, he doesn¡¯t know if he will be in trouble too.


    If Water God confesses, he doesn¡¯t know if he will be arrested¡­he will definitely be arrested, right? He received one million from Water God¡­


    Being in fear for many days, Jiang Tianshuo was very excited when he saw Xie Chengze go online.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, I just went to get myself a partner.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Jiang Tianshuo was curious: ¡°Have you used any of the medicine?¡±


    ¡°Use it.¡± Xie Chengze answered.


    Jiang Tianshuo: ¡°!!!¡± Can they get a partner after using the medicine? Is it that easy to find a partner? Why is he still single?!


    Xie Chengze sent Jiang Tianshuo a red envelope of 88888, and said: ¡°The medicine is very effective, not bad!¡±


    The medicine actually has no effect. Even if he doesn¡¯t use it, if he seduces Lu Yanzhou more, Lu Yanzhou will definitely give in. After all, Lu Yanzhou also likes him.


    But he is in a good mood.


    Jiang Tianshuo: ¡°¡­¡± Water God is too inhumane2buzzword on the internet meaning rich people expose their wealth intentionally or unintentionally, making ordinary people envious and jealous. Synonym for ¡®blind dog eyes¡¯! What the hell is he doing in reality?


    While Xie Chengze was chatting with someone while monitoring Lu Yanzhou, An Chenyuan couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t do anything, he couldn¡¯t count on him anymore. He kept spending Xie Chengze¡¯s money¡­An Chenyuan planned to do it himself.


    After he makes a move, he can still blame Lu Yanzhou for this matter. After all, no matter how one looks at it, Lu Yanzhou who embezzled so much money from Xie Chengze is the one with the greatest motive to kill.


    Thinking of this, An Chenyuan distributed the collected evidence that Lu Yanzhou embezzled Xie Chengze¡¯s money on the Internet, and then contacted some people.


    The next day, because Lu Yanzhou was not at home, Xie Chengze, who was idly chatting with Jiang Tianshuo, suddenly noticed a figure flashing through a certain camera.


    Someone climbed into the villa balcony and cut the plastic membrane of his sterile room with a sharp knife.


    At the same time, Lu Yanzhou also sent a message: ¡°AZe, stay in the bedroom and don¡¯t go out, there¡¯s someone outside!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has been paying attention to the surveillance at home, so he found out as soon as that person appeared!


    An Chenyuan actually made a move!


    After sending the message, Lu Yanzhou was still worried, so he immediately sent another message: ¡°AZe, hold the electric baton in your hand!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou prepared a lot of self-defense for Xie Chengze, including electric batons.


    But even so, he was still very worried. However, his worries were unnecessary.


    After the man destroyed the sterile room, he turned his head and left.

 CH 25

    While chatting with the water god he worships, Jiang Tianshuo still pays attention to various news on the Internet.


    Because Water God had given him some evidence of Xie¡¯s tax evasion before, he was still very sensitive to news related to Xie¡¯s.


    Then he saw a news that suddenly spread ¨C someone broke the news on the Internet, saying that Xie Chengze, the eldest son of Chairman Xie, was locked up by his assistant, and that assistant embezzled several hundred million of Xie Chengze¡¯s funds!


    This news is full of names and surnames, it doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s fake.


    Jiang Tianshuo, who recently got one million and another nearly 90,000 in red envelopes, was stunned when he saw the number ¡®several hundred million¡¯.


    He thought he was already very rich, but compared to others, his little money was nothing!


    Also, isn¡¯t this news too explosive? The assistant locked up the boss, and then got so much money from the boss¡­Is there such a magical thing in reality?


    Well, there seems to have been more magical news before¡­


    Jiang Tianshuo immediately looked and understood the ins and outs.


    It turned out that Xie Chengze, young master Xie, was born with an illness and had no immunity. He originally lived in the aseptic room specially built for him by the Xie family, but his assistant moved him away while there was no one at home in the Xie family. He also doesn¡¯t allow the Xie family to visit.


    Then, the assistant controlled Xie Chengze who couldn¡¯t leave the sterile room, and took several hundred million away from Xie Chengze.


    This assistant¡­is not an ordinary person!


    Jiang Tianshuo immediately forwarded this matter to Water God: ¡°Water God, you seem to be very concerned about the Xie family? Here is some news related to the Xie family!¡±


    After Xie Chengze sterile room was destroyed, he called the police, and by the way, he also contacted the doctor who treated him in the past few years.


    After doing all this, he returned to the computer.


    He has recovered now, so the destruction of the sterile room has no effect on him at all!


    As a result, as soon as he returned to the computer, Xie Chengze saw the message from Jiang Tianshuo.


    The one who put this thing on the Internet, he can guess it just by thinking¡­An Chenyuan posted the matter of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s embezzlement on the Internet, and then asked someone to destroy his sterile room. Like this, others must feel that it was Lu Yanzhou who wanted to kill him.


    ¡°Water God, this assistant named Lu Yanzhou is really good, he played the boss around!¡± Jiang Tianshuo continued.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t answer, he was still reading the news.


    But Jiang Tianshuo was still typing: ¡°I don¡¯t know how that young master Xie is now. Lu Yanzhou is so ruthless that he even locked him up.¡±


    Xie Chengze replied without thinking: ¡°Don¡¯t speak ill of Lu Yanzhou!¡±


    Can¡¯t speak ill of Lu Yanzhou? Why? Jiang Tianshuo was puzzled: ¡°Water God, why can¡¯t I say it? Do you know the inside story?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Yes, I know the inside story. Lu Yanzhou is not such a person.¡±


    To be honest, Xie Chengze still doesn¡¯t understand what happened to Lu Yanzhou.


    When Lu Yanzhou transferred money from him later, he told him, but the first 30 million, Lu Yanzhou secretly transferred it away for several days before telling him.


    Since it is a donation, why didn¡¯t he say it at the beginning?


    Of course, he doesn¡¯t plan to argue with Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°There¡¯s an inside story! It¡¯s true that you can¡¯t just eat melons as soon as they appear!¡± Jiang Tianshuo said.


    Jiang Tianshuo no longer speaks ill of Lu Yanzhou, but on the Internet¡­now more and more people start talking about it.


    ¡°Indeed, I¡¯ve lived such a long time and just see!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a thing to happen!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this Lu Yanzhou too much?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the first time I know there¡¯s still this kind of illness¡­Sigh, if this young master Xie didn¡¯t have money in his family, he would have died by now, right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, many people with this illness don¡¯t live long.¡±


    ¡°Young master Xie falls into his hands, will something happen?¡±


    ¡­¡­


    While everyone was writing comments, of course they did not forget to surround the police. Not only that, Xie¡¯s family also reported to the police, saying that Lu Yanzhou imprisoned Xie Chengze.


    Speaking of it, Xie Chengze¡¯s illness is very strange, so although he doesn¡¯t usually meet people, many people actually know him.


    At least the wealthy people in S City who have some contact with the Xie family and the Zhang family all know him.


    When Xie Chengze was young, in fact, from time to time, people would come to see him, who was different.


    After such news was suddenly exposed, a well-known rich second generation in S city said something about him on the Internet.


    A novel disease, a huge amount of money, and an assistant imprisoning the boss¡­This matter has become even bigger!


    And at this moment¡­The police came to the villa to see Xie Chengze, who was staying in the sterile room ¨C he called the police and said that someone was going to murder him, so the police came quickly.


    Father Lu, mother Lu, and old lady Wang, who had a lot of opinions on the Lu family recently, didn¡¯t know about Lu Yanzhou being questioned on the Internet, or about someone destroying Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room.


    ¡°A man named Xie Chengze reported to the police that someone want to murdered him.¡± The police briefly explained the situation.


    Lu Yanzhou told his parents about someone trying to kill Xie Chengze before. Father Lu and mother Lu were always on the alert. Now when they heard the police say this, they were taken aback: ¡°Young master Xie is on the third floor. Who is going to kill him! He was upstairs and we were down here, but I didn¡¯t see anyone going up!¡±


    ¡°Go and check on him first,¡± said the policeman.


    When they went upstairs and saw Xie Chengze sitting in the sterile room, the policeman breathed a sigh of relief and then realized that something was wrong ¡ª such a large sterile room is on the third floor, anyone can see that Xie Chengze¡¯s situation is different from ordinary people.


    Not to mention, when the doctor came¡­


    Xie Chengze was sent to the hospital immediately.


    At the same time, the police began to investigate Lu Yanzhou¡¯s imprisonment of Xie Chengze.


    The police who had just sent Xie Chengze to the hospital were shocked when they found out what happened online. Their first reaction was¡­Was it Lu Yanzhou who tried to kill Xie Chengze?


    Xie Chengze was mostly guarded by Lu Yanzhou, and Lu Yanzhou took so much money from Xie Chengze¡­


    Of course, the police need to talk with evidence in handling cases.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s place is very lively, and it¡¯s the same online.


    An Chenyuan threatened Lu Yanzhou before, he thought he was very careful. Even if Lu Yanzhou recorded it later, what he said was ambiguous and could not be used as evidence.


    Even if the police found him because of the information provided by Lu Yanzhou, and even found out his identity, he will just say that he only said those in front of Lu Yanzhou because he was jealous of Xie Chengze¡­There is no way to sentence him.


    It was because of his self-confidence that he dared to make a big fuss. Of course, this was also to get back all the money that Lu Yanzhou stole from Xie Chengze.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou gambles¡­Lu Yanzhou just set up a charity fund not long ago, so the money in it and the house that Xie Chengze gave to Lu Yanzhou are still there.


    So on the Internet, some people from Xie Chengze¡¯s company said that Lu Yanzhou embezzled so much money because he gambled.


    ¡°It turned out to be gambling!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not uncommon for people who gamble to do these things!¡±


    ¡°The Xie family ignored Xie Chengze too much, right? Xie Chengze obviously needs a guardian in this situation, why did they let Lu Yanzhou take Xie Chengze away from the Xie family?¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou should be very good at acting.¡±


    ¡°This Lu Yanzhou is a graduate of the history department, surprisingly he can still go into investment¡­¡±


    ¡°Young Master Xie is really easy to fool¡­¡±


    ¡­¡­


    These, father Lu, mother Lu, and old lady Wang, who were taken to the police station to assist in the investigation, also knew about it.


    Old lady Wang always felt that Lu Yanzhou was not good, but it was okay before. These days when Lu Yanzhou was not at home, he locked the third floor to prevent her from going in to see Xie Chengze!


    Now that she heard that Lu Yanzhou had embezzled so much money, she became anxious: ¡°A lot of what is said above is true! He won¡¯t let anyone see my young master! My young master is so innocent. He coaxed him into listening to him for everything. That¡¯s right! It must be him who wants to kill my young master!¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu were a little dumbfounded: ¡°Our son would not do such a thing. He has always been kind-hearted, and he likes young master Xie the most. He also told us to protect young master Xie every day.¡±


    Everyone didn¡¯t take father Lu and mother Lu¡¯s words seriously, and old lady Wang glared at them even more.


    After all, no matter how one looks at it, there¡¯s a problem with Lu Yanzhou.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou also came to the police station.


    He looked calm, not panicked one bit, and seemed to be in a good mood too.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s health has recovered. Even if he could give some evidence, An Chenyuan, who tried to murder Xie Chengze, might be fine.


    So from the beginning, he wanted to make things big like the original trajectory.


    Like this¡­ maybe the Xie family will still go bankrupt. Xie Yuan and An Chenyuan¡¯s future life will also be very miserable.


    However, before he could do anything, An Chenyuan made such a big fuss by himself¡­It saved him a lot of trouble!


    As for the police investigating him, he is innocent so he¡¯s not afraid of the investigation!


    The middle-aged policeman frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou who seemed to be very happy, and his heart skipped a beat.


    Faced with such a predicament, this person still has such an expression, he must not be easy! For the next interrogation, he must raise his spirit!


    The middle-aged policeman was already thinking about how to interrogate, but Lu Yanzhou came up first to say: ¡°I have also seen the things on the Internet, they are all nonsense. I did not embezzle Xie Chengze¡¯s money, I spent that money after discussing with him to do charity. I have recorded all the money transactions in detail here. You can also check my account. ¡±


    ¡°For charity?¡± The middle-aged policeman was stunned.


    ¡°Yes, here are the certificates from various charities.¡± Lu Yanzhou took out a bunch of things.


    ¡°To do charity, why not do it with the company name?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was silent: ¡°Xie Chengze and I both want to keep a low profile.¡±


    The middle-aged policeman frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I don¡¯t know if these are true or not, but now that the sterile room where Xie Chengze lives has been destroyed, and he has entered the hospital, how can you still smile?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°AZe¡¯s health is already healed, so nothing will happen. Now¡­it¡¯s good to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.¡±


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, a young policeman came in: ¡°The hospital said that Xie Chengze is fine, he has recovered from his illness¡­Also, Xie Chengze told us that Lu Yanzhou is his boyfriend, and he and Lu Yanzhou donated the money together in order to pray for him¡­¡±

 CH 26

    Jiang Tianshuo lost contact with Water God again.


    His great Water God always disappears suddenly, which makes him feel tired and unloved.


    He could only go back and watch the increasingly hot news about the assistant imprisoning the boss.


    At the beginning, this matter was only spread in small circles, but then it became more and more troublesome. When there was an official announcement that Xie Corporate had called the police, it was stamped that this matter was true, so the popularity increased a few more levels that Lu Yanzhou was also stripped clean.


    A history graduate with mediocre grades and no experience in investing relied on his boss ¡®appreciation¡¯ him with an annual salary of one million, and then imprisoned his boss¡­


    ¡°Impressed by this buddy!¡±


    ¡°If this is ancient times, it¡®s just like holding the monarch and controlling the vassals?¡±


    ¡°Young master Xie is too naive, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°He may not have been naive. I heard that Lu Yanzhou is so smart that he deceived Xie Chengze¡¯s feelings.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why I said that if that young master Xie hadn¡¯t lived in a sterile room since he was a child, he wouldn¡¯t have been deceived.¡±


    ¡°Fuck! New news! I heard that someone destroyed young master Xie¡¯s sterile room, and young master Xie has already been sent to the hospital!¡±


    ¡°My god! Is this murder?!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Jiang Tianshuo was also shocked beyond measure.


    After learning about Xie Chengze¡¯s condition, he sympathized with Xie Chengze. Now that he knew that Xie Chengze had entered the hospital, he was shocked.


    Water God said that Lu Yanzhou is good¡­did he make a mistake?


    Is :u Yanzhou really harmless?


    Lu Yanzhou is really harmless.


    The police immediately investigated Lu Yanzhou¡¯s financial situation.


    This man with an annual salary of one million and was said to have embezzled hundreds of millions, he only has a few thousand yuan in cash on hand and owes the bank more than ten million yuan.


    The most amazing thing is that he donated all those tens of millions.


    Is he addicted to donations?


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the group he donated to, Genzheng Miaohong, or even directly led by the government, they would all suspect that he was falsifying his donation.


    It¡¯s just¡­ outrageous.


    However, his suspicion of murder was completely dismissed ¨C Lu Yanzhou knew that Xie Chengze have recovered from his illness, so he naturally also knew that destroying the sterile room would not kill Xie Chengze.


    The middle-aged policeman in charge of interrogating Lu Yanzhou was speechless for a moment at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s smiling face.


    Why did he think before that this is a vicious person who would not change his expression after killing someone? This is clearly a person with brain problems!


    Which normal person would take money and then donate the money after?


    ¡°By the way, regarding the person who wants to kill Xie Chengze, I have a suspect here.¡± Lu Yanzhou took out his mobile phone, ¡°I have proof!¡±


    Many cameras installed by Lu Yanzhou at home captured the appearance of the person who was dressed in blue overalls and pretended to be a worker to sneak into Zhang¡¯s villa and destroy Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room.


    Although this person covered his face with a mask, but with surveillance cameras everywhere, Lu Yanzhou believes that the police will be able to find this person.


    In addition, the many audio and video recordings he secretly recorded when he communicated with An Chenyuan were enough for the police to investigate An Chenyuan.


    ¡°You installed so many surveillance cameras at home?¡± The middle-aged policeman was dumbfounded after watching the video provided by Lu Yanzhou. The person pretending to be a maintenance worker was very careful and avoided surveillance in the community. It¡¯s just¡­no one thought that the three-floor villa where Xie Chengze lived had so many surveillance cameras installed.


    Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly: ¡°I was worried about accidents, so I was a little more cautious.¡±


    ¡°So you don¡¯t let people see Xie Chengze¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just worried about accidents.¡±


    Alright¡­¡­


    People on the Internet have been waiting for news, and praying for Xie Chengze by the way, until very late.


    At this time, because Lu Yanzhou was too cooperative, the police issued an announcement, saying that according to the information they verified, there was no such thing as Lu imprisoning Xie, and there was no such thing as Lu embezzling Xie¡¯s funds for gambling.


    Netizens don¡¯t believe it.


    The people from Xie Chengze¡¯s company gave a lot of evidence with their real names before, and the sum of money was stolen under the guise of charity, it can¡¯t be fake.


    Everyone was anxious for an explanation, then they saw some charitable organizations put up announcements, saying that they had received donations from Lu Yanzhou on a certain day of a certain year.


    Oh, it¡¯s true that the money was taken out. It was just that after the money was taken, it was really used for charity.


    In just a few months, this person has donated so much, and even set up a charity fund¡­The heart of charity is really very enthusiastic, very clear!


    Well, this is also approved by Xie Chengze, so it¡¯s all right.


    ¡°This Lu Yanzhou is really innocent. The donated money is 20 million more than the money taken away.¡±


    ¡°As expected of a rich man, he donated so much money in his own name.¡±


    ¡°I thought Lu Yanzhou was a jerk before, but now I¡¯ve been slapped in the face!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Everyone was talking about it, and An Chenyuan, who had already been taken to the police station, learned of this, and his first reaction was¡ª¡ªIs Lu Yanzhou suffering from some serious illness?!


    Lu Yanzhou had Xie Chengze in his hands, Xie Chengze¡¯s money was also transferred to his account, and then¡­he took it to donate?


    He even donated the house that Xie Chengze gave him?


    Is this something normal people do?


    So before, Lu Yanzhou was just acting to lie to him?


    That¡¯s right, Lu Yanzhou has been acting to lie to him. Knowing that every contact between himself and Lu Yanzhou was recorded, An Chenyuan¡¯s face turned dark.


    But these are not enough to convict him, the most important thing is¡­Xie Chengze. Something must have happened now, right?


    Lu Yanzhou was devoted to Xie Chengze, but so what? Xie Chengze is going to die!


    After An Chenyuan knew that Lu Yanzhou had really donated the money, he guessed that the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze should be true. However, the two would soon be separated.


    He asked someone to destroy Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room, which is not easy to find.


    An Chenyuan refused to say anything at the police station, but the police told him some things, such as¡­Because there are too many surveillance cameras on the third floor of Zhang¡¯s villa, although the person who did it was disguised, they still found his identity.


    An Chenyuan: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou is definitely sick. He installed so many surveillance cameras at home!


    Then the police continued: ¡°By the way, Xie Chengze¡¯s illness has been cured. After Lu Yanzhou took him out of Xie¡¯s house, he found someone to cure his illness. He had recovered, but others don¡¯t know about it so subjectively they¡¯ll try to murder him¡­¡±


    An Chenyuan: ¡°!!!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    The police did not disclose a lot of news, but the Internet is still very lively.


    ¡°This is the first time I saw someone alive who donated so much money!¡±


    ¡°Young master Xie is really a capitalist with a conscience!¡±


    ¡°Although this matter has been clarified, didn¡¯t they say that young master Xie was admitted to the hospital? Is this true or not? Is he okay?¡±


    ¡°Hope he¡¯s okay!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    For a while, more people started to pray for Xie Chengze online.


    Jiang Tianshuo was also praying. He felt that Xie Chengze was a bit pitiful.


    What a man! He was born with such an illness!


    At this moment, Jiang Tianshuo¡¯s chat software received a message from Water God, telling him to hand over the evidence of Xie¡¯s tax evasion to the police.


    Xie Chengze understood his father well. His father controlled Xie Corporate, just like some emperors in ancient times controlled power and did not allow anyone to get involved.


    In his father¡¯s eyes, Xie Corporate is the most important, and none of them can compare to Xie Corporate.


    It¡¯s okay if he has never given him any fatherly love, but his father still wants him dead, wants his money, so there¡¯s always a price to pay.


    It¡¯s just, he misses Lu Yanzhou a little bit.


    Lu Yanzhou also missed Xie Chengze very much.


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s health is recovering, without him watching, he doesn¡¯t know if he will eat indiscriminately¡­


    After coming to this world, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart was anxious until now, he was finally relieved.


    He and Xie Chengze should not encounter any troublesome things in the future.


    Knowing that he could leave the police station, Lu Yanzhou went to the hospital immediately.


    The medical miracle Xie Chengze stayed in a separate ward. The doctor who looked after him for many years, is doubting his life.


    It is true that new treatment methods have come out recently, but Xie Chengze¡¯s recovery is too fast!


    ¡°Young master Xie, how did you recover?¡± The doctor is struggling with Xie Chengze¡¯s complete physical examination report. According to the physical examination report, Xie Chengze is very healthy.


    Xie Chengze looked at him innocently: ¡°I donated a lot of money to pray for blessings, and my health recovered.¡±


    Doctor: ¡°Young master Xie, stop joking.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He thought it was a joke at first too, but it is the truth¡­


    The two were talking when Lu Yanzhou came.


    ¡°AZe, how do you feel?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked as soon as he came in, ¡°Are you feeling uncomfortable?¡±


    ¡°Um¡­Brother Yanzhou, I miss you, I feel uncomfortable all over.¡± Xie Chengze jumped and hugged Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou blushed because of this straightforward confession, but Xie Chengze said so, he must also respond: ¡°I miss you too¡­¡±


    Doctor: ¡°¡­¡± Someone on the Internet guessed that the two had an affair, and it seems to be true¡­


    If he had known about this before, he might have felt that Lu Yanzhou was not easy and bad, but now it is different!


    What else can he do now besides wishing them a happy marriage for a hundred years?


    Oh, and he should leave here quietly, so as not to be stuffed with dog food.


    The doctor left in a hurry.


    Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand and kept touching it.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°AZe, this is outside¡­¡±


    ¡°There is no one else here!¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Well¡­Lu Yanzhou actually missed him a lot too, so he couldn¡¯t help but kiss him.


    After the kiss, Lu Yanzhou sighed again.


    When Xie Chengze regains his memory in the future, remembering these, he wonders if he will be beaten up.


    Xie Chengze is fine, so Lu Yanzhou took him home.


    Father Lu, mother Lu, and old lady Wang have already returned. Old lady Wang is very embarrassed when she learns that she has wronged Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t bother with her. What he did before was really easy to doubt too.


    In fact, he had already discovered that old lady Wang didn¡¯t like him, but he was busy taking care of Xie Chengze so he didn¡¯t have time to have a good talk with old lady Wang.


    As for father Lu and mother Lu, they still don¡¯t know about their son¡¯s relationship with Xie Chengze, so now they feel¡­their son¡¯s boss is really kind, he has donated so much money!


    Of course, their son is also very kind!


    After a busy day, everyone had no time to talk and just went to sleep.


    In the next few days, both Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze stayed in Zhang¡¯s villa and did not go out.


    After that, they no longer need to intervene.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were affectionate at home, but there was a lot of trouble outside.


    In the original historical trajectory, after Xie Chengze died, a hacker exposed Xie Corporate problems, and also brought forward Xie Yuan and An Chenyuan.


    This time the trend is similar. Someone also exposed the relationship between Xie Yuan and An Chenyuan on the Internet, and handed over the evidence of Xie¡¯s tax evasion to the police.


    The police followed up with the investigation and found that the person who destroyed Xie Chengze¡¯s sterile room was instigated by An Chenyuan.


    An Chenyuan thought that Xie Chengze was in poor health and he did this to kill Xie Chengze, so he had to bear legal responsibility.


    In contrast, the man he paid for only thought he was destroying something expensive. He had no idea that he almost killed someone.


    Faced with this situation, An Chenyuan confessed about Xie Yuan without hesitation. Like Lu Yanzhou, he recorded as evidence.


    So the people who eat melons on the Internet are all confused.


    ¡°This development is really unexpected¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s worse than the assistant murdering the boss. This is the father who wants to murder his son!¡±


    ¡°No wonder Lu Yanzhou wanted to take Xie Chengze away from Xie¡¯s house!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    There¡¯s procedures for handling cases. It will definitely take several months to find out about this matter, but it is certain that Xie Corporate is finished.


    Lu Yanzhou was in a good mood, but after seeing the whole thing, he was also a little entangled. He couldn¡¯t help asking Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, Water God has such a good relationship with you?¡±


    In this incident, an unknown hacker was also involved. In the past few days, he has been with Xie Chengze day and night, he also sees Xie Chengze chatting with someone from time to time.


    That person is Water God, right? Xie Chengze have such a good relationship with them?


    Thinking about how Xie Chengze had been praising Water God before, Lu Yanzhou suddenly felt sour.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    T/N: Next is the extra of ¡®Water God¡¯ (???)

 CH 27

    Today is the second anniversary of Chengze Charity Foundation.


    Chengze Charity Foundation is well-known in the industry.


    On the one hand, it is because of the incident of ¡®assistant imprisoning boss¡¯ at the beginning of its establishment. On the other hand, this charity fund is sincerely doing charity. Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, who are in charge of the charity fund, have always been running around in the south to the north, devoting themselves to charity and helping many people.


    Chengze Charity Foundation has a good reputation, so many people were scrambling to participate in this second anniversary celebration.


    Jiang Tianshuo was also one of the people who came to the celebration.


    He is just an ordinary young man who is about to graduate. He can participate in this celebration thanks to his idol, Water God.


    Two years ago, he did Water God a favor. They have been in touch since then. Well, it was mainly because he kept pestering Water God to chat. Water God began to care about him from time to time. They also call him to clean up the unfavorable news about Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze on the Internet.


    After a long time, Jiang Tianshuo also had an idea about Water God identity.


    Water God must be Lu Yanzhou!


    Everywhere Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou go, Water God is always there, so he must either be Lu Yanzhou or Xie Chengze.


    As for why he thinks Water God is Lu Yanzhou¡­


    An Chenyuan and Xie Yuan were arrested two years ago. After Xie Corporate was acquired by other companies, Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou participated in an interview together.


    At that time, he had already realized that Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou should be related to Water God, so he watched this interview.


    Throughout the interview, Xie Chengze acted very shy, and he also said some things about himself. According to what he said, Xie Yuan was indifferent to him. After finding someone to teach him for a few years, he fired the teacher, so he didn¡¯t even finish elementary school studies. When Lu Yanzhou first gave him fourth grade problems, he couldn¡¯t do it.


    He was very timid throughout the whole process, replying heavily on Lu Yanzhou, always holding onto one of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s fingers¡­Of course, such a person cannot be the cold and powerful Water God!


    Lu Yanzhou is different. Although he graduated from the history department, he has done very well in investment in the past two years and made a lot of money!


    Not only that, but there are rumors that he likes to learn things very much and is very smart.


    A history major who can manage such a large fund well must have his ability. It is not surprising that such a person also has good computer skills.


    Jiang Tianshuo is looking forward to seeing Water God! He also wants to talk with his great Water God in person.


    With excitement, he entered the celebration scene.


    The whole celebration was, uh¡­very plain.


    Jiang Tianshuo was puzzled at first, but later he figured out why.


    His family¡¯s Water God is sincerely doing charity, so he doesn¡¯t want to waste money on the celebration!


    As expected of Water God, who would come to the scene every time a disaster happened and willing to do any dirty work!


    ¡°Why did they make the celebration so simple¡­¡±


    ¡°Yeah, this is too simple¡­¡±


    Two guests whispered.


    As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a dark-skinned man said: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with making the celebration simpler? It¡¯s a waste to spend money on fancy things! Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to use this money to do something to help others?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t have money, why put on a show like this.¡± said one of the two guests.


    The dark-skinned man was Zhao Chaoyuan, the classmate Lu Yanzhou contacted when he first donated.


    Hearing people say this now, Zhao Chaoyuan, who has been running around in the mountains all these years, sneered, ¡°A show? Why do Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze need a show. Are you here to participate in this celebration for the sake of showing?¡±


    The two guests were a little embarrassed. Seeing that Zhao Chaoyuan was dressed simply and had a weather-beaten face, they were about to say a few more words when they saw Lu Yanzhou, the host of the celebration, and Xie Chengze walking from a distance together.


    The two guests immediately showed perfect smiles, ready to strike up a conversation with Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou passed by them and looked at the man, who looked a bit like a migrant worker, with a smile on his face: ¡°Chaoyuan, long time no see!¡±


    Zhao Chaoyuan, who had just returned from filming a documentary in the mountains, also smiled: ¡°Long time no see!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had been in contact with Zhao Chaoyuan for the past two years, so at this moment the two exchanged some pleasantries. Seeing this scene, the two guests who disliked the rudimentary ceremony left in despair.


    Jiang Tianshuo didn¡¯t leave. He looked at Lu Yanzhou excitedly ¨C this is Water God! Water God!


    Jiang Tianshuo really wanted to talk to Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou was chatting with Zhao Chaoyuan at the moment, and he was a little socially afraid, so he hesitated to go forward. He only looked at Lu Yanzhou with a heated gaze.


    Staring at him for a while, Jiang Tianshuo suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if someone was glaring at him.


    He looked over subconsciously, and saw Xie Chengze beside Lu Yanzhou looking at him. Meeting his gaze, he smiled embarrassedly.


    Seeing Xie Chengze, Jiang Tianshuo also smiled embarrassedly.


    He was a little afraid to face Xie Chengze. After all, back then, he helped Water God buy the medicine, and then¡­Did Water God use the medicine on Xie Chengze?


    Sigh! What a sin!


    The most important thing is that Water God also bought aphrodisiac medicine at the time, which means that something of Water God may not be good¡­


    Jiang Tianshuo worships Water God very much, but he feels that Water God has done something wrong in terms of feelings.


    Xie Chengze was under Xie Yuan¡¯s control before, his life could be described as isolated from the world. It¡¯s fine if Water God coaxed him, but he even used medicine to bring him down¡­a bit like a beast.


    And judging from the content of Water God¡¯s showing of love in the past two years, Xie Chengze is really good to Water God!


    Xie Chengze not only obeys Water God, but he also cooks for him every day!


    What a good partner! Why did he fall in love with Water God, who was so cold that he refused to say a few words?


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t look that cold. He talks with that Zhao Chaoyuan in full swing.


    Jiang Tianshuo looked helplessly at the three people in front of him.


    Lu Yanzhou had noticed Jiang Tianshuo a while ago. After talking with Zhao Chaoyuan, he looked at Jiang Tianshuo and said, ¡°Hello!¡± The chubby looking young man in front of him seemed to have something to say to him.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s aura is very strong. Jiang Tianshuo was a little excited at once, but he also had a panic attack, so he stammered: ¡°You¡­ hello¡­Water God¡­¡±


    Hearing the word ¡®Water God¡¯, Lu Yanzhou suddenly became alert.


    Xie Chengze and Water God have never met, only chatting occasionally. Logically, he shouldn¡¯t be jealous.


    However, Xie Chengze would praise Water God from time to time, and Water God would often help them for free.


    He didn¡¯t show anything on the surface, and even praised Water God for being very powerful, but he couldn¡¯t help minding about that Water God in his heart. Now this person in front of him said ¡®Water God¡¯? Who is he?


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, he is the Water God I often tell you!¡± Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm and smiled sweetly at Lu Yanzhou, ¡°I gave him an invitation.¡±


    Jiang Tianshuo was dumbfounded when he heard this. He just called Lu Yanzhou Water God, why did Xie Chengze say that he is Water God?


    And Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reaction¡­Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou Water God?


    ¡°Hello, so you are Water God, thank you for taking care of Chengze!¡± Lu Yanzhou stretched out his hand towards Jiang Tianshuo, very amiable.


    He could tell that the person in front of him is a geek who doesn¡¯t like to interact with people¡­He felt that he was definitely better than this person in other aspects except computer skills.


    Xie Chengze will definitely like himself more!


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Jiang Tianshuo stretched out his hand blankly. In a blink of an eye, he saw Xie Chengze give him a cold look. Um, he somehow understood the meaning of this look, knowing that it was a warning to him, like he used to. It¡¯s like him being able to understand Water God¡¯s short answer inexplicably!


    Wait, understand Water God?


    Jiang Tianshuo was in a daze when he saw Xie Chengze in front of him change his expression and looked at Lu Yanzhou tenderly: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, Water God is a bit scared to meet people, but he is a good person.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Xie Chengze looked at Jiang Tianshuo with a smile again: ¡°Water God, thank you for your care in the past two years! Um, I sent you a message before, didn¡¯t you read it?¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± After Jiang Tianshuo came here, because he was nervous, he really didn¡¯t look at his phone. Now he took out his phone, he saw that Water God sent him several messages, asking him to pretend to be Water God.


    So¡­Water God is Xie Chengze?!


    Jiang Tianshuo looked at the two people in front of him, his expression a little tense.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Could it be that this Water God used to be too homely, so he didn¡¯t know how to get along with others? This expression is strange.


    However, Xie Chengze probably knew what Jiang Tianshuo was thinking, he gave Jiang Tianshuo a warning look, and then said to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I want to talk to Water God.¡±


    ¡°Then you guys have a good chat, you should make more friends.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    He was worried that Water God had bad intentions for being so nice to Xie Chengze, but he is not worried now.


    It¡¯s good for Xie Chengze to have such a friend.


    ¡°En.¡± Xie Chengze shook Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand, watched Lu Yanzhou leave, and then went to talk to Jiang Tianshuo.


    Jiang Tianshuo: ¡°Water Water Water¡­¡±


    ¡°Call me Xie Chengze.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Xie¡­Xie Chengze.¡± Jiang Tianshuo called out.


    Jiang Tianshuo unexpectedly stuttered¡­Xie Chengze said: ¡°Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t know that I am Water God, so from now on you will pretend to be Water God in front of him.¡±


    ¡°Oh, yes.¡± Jiang Tianshuo agreed.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°By the way, do you want to enter my company?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Jiang Tianshuo immediately agreed.


    Xie Chengze saw that his thoughts were messy, so he decided to give him some time to digest: ¡°Then it¡¯s a deal¡­You can go around casually, I¡¯ll go find Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    Jiang Tianshuo froze for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Xie Chengze standing beside Lu Yanzhou, looking at Lu Yanzhou obediently.


    Jiang Tianshuo: ¡°¡­¡± Water God has two faces!


    That means, Xie Chengze¡¯s pitiful appearance in the interview is all acting?


    He has known Water God for many years, he is obviously a decisive person, sometimes a little crazy!


    Thinking about it carefully, it is true that Xie Chengze is more likely to be Water God. After all, a long time ago, Water God was online every day, even during Chinese New Year.


    Lu Yanzhou has family, relatives, and friends, so he can¡¯t do this. However, Xie Chengze, who is ignored by Xie Yuan, can spend all day on the Internet.


    And when he suddenly lost contact with Water God and he said he liked someone¡­wasn¡¯t it when Lu Yanzhou started donating money for him.


    Obviously, the person Water God liked at the beginning is Lu Yanzhou.


    Well, it¡¯s no wonder that he needs to use medicine. Lu Yanzhou is tall and big, but Water God is a bit short because of lack of exercise during his growth period.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Tianshuo suddenly thought of¡­aphrodisiac.


    It is said that Xie Chengze is not in good health because he has been locked up for a long time¡­No wonder he wants to use this!


    But if that is the case¡­is he the one above?


    Jiang Tianshuo shuddered ¡ª did he know something extraordinary?


    Sigh, when he thought that Water God was Lu Yanzhou before, he felt that Water God was a bit too much for bullying the innocent and cute young master. Now that he knew that Water God is Xie Chengze, he still felt that Water God is a bit too much.


    It¡¯s fine to pretend to be cute, but he still uses medicine.


    Jiang Tianshuo looked at Lu Yanzhou again, then he saw Lu Yanzhou talking to Xie Chengze in a low voice with a doting look on his face.


    Lu Yanzhou is too pitiful!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that someone was pitying him. He was currently encouraging Xie Chengze to make friends.


    In addition, he was a little worried about Xie Chengze¡¯s waist.


    After all, last night¡­ahem.


    When Xie Chengze fully recovered in the future, he would remember all kinds of things in the small world, so after being with Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t dare to be too proactive.


    He¡¯s afraid that Xie Chengze will think that he is a pervert in the future and will break all relationships with him.


    Xie Chengze used to be as cold as a snow-capped mountain and bright moon, he had always been anti-emotion.


    However, he didn¡¯t take the initiative, but Xie Chengze is very active.


    Xie Chengze suffers from skin hunger and thirst. Whenever he has the opportunity during the day, he will come to hold his hand, let alone at night. He must stick to his flesh to be satisfied.


    Faced with this situation, he couldn¡¯t hold it at all, so the night life of the two was very rich.


    Lu Yanzhou talked a lot with Xie Chengze, and encouraged Xie Chengze to chat with others.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He doesn¡¯t want to chat with people! He just wants to be with Lu Yanzhou!


    But for appearance sake, he still needs to do it¡­Xie Chengze looked around, found someone with a bad reputation, then went to chat with him¡­


    Sure enough, in a moment, Lu Yanzhou came to look for him and brought him by his side.


    That is all? Xie Chengze walked with Lu Yanzhou. When he was eating, he wanted to get a cocktail that looked like a drink.


    ¡°This is wine, you can¡¯t drink it.¡± Lu Yanzhou hurriedly stopped him.


    ¡°Ah¡­I don¡¯t know.¡± Xie Chengze blinked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou decided to keep him by his side and watch over him.


    Xie Chengze is too simple, if he is accidentally deceived, what should he do?


    Even if he wasn¡¯t deceived, he would still feel uncomfortable if he accidentally ate something weird.


    Lu Yanzhou often worried that Xie Chengze would be hurt if he left him.


    This celebration was presided over by Lu Yanzhou. When the work was over, he was already very tired, so he sat down on the bed after taking a shower.


    Xie Chengze leaned on him, massaged his shoulders and kissed the back of his neck.


    His neck is itchy, and it even went all the way to his heart.


    He liked Xie Chengze more and more day by day.


    It¡¯s great that Xie Chengze in this world also likes him.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou.¡± Xie Chengze lay down beside Lu Yanzhou, ¡°I love you so much.¡±


    ¡°I love you too.¡± Lu Yanzhou hugged him.


    This world is already like this, so be it!


    As long as there are no more accidents in the future world, Xie Chengze shouldn¡¯t blame him?


    T/N: Lu Yanzhou finally met Water God Lmao


    Next is educated youth!

 CH 28

    The moment Xie Chengze died, Lu Yanzhou left the small world with Xie Chengze¡¯s first soul fragment.


    The Xie Chengze in this world was very attached to him. When he took Xie Chengze away, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t resist at all.


    The moment he left, he used the countless merits he had accumulated in the small world to snatch that small world away from Black Tortoise.


    The small world regained its freedom and began to operate normally. Lu Yanzhou lowered his head and looked at the soul fragment in his hand.


    The soul fragment wrapped in merit emitted golden light. Lu Yanzhou sent it into his heart, then immediately entered the second small world.


    In the twelfth lunar month of 1975, Lianfeng village¡¯s committee compound.


    ¡°The old sow has come out!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and catch the old sow!¡±


    ¡°No! Someone got hit by the sow!


    ¡­¡­


    This place was originally a temple. In the early years, people nearby loved to come here to pray when they had nothing to do. When there were funerals, the monks in the temple would be invited to play the suona.


    After the destruction of the four olds1campaign of the cultural revolution; The four olds: old thoughts, old culture, old habits, old customs., the monks in this temple returned to normal life, and the temple was also used for other purposes.


    Now this small temple was turned into separate rooms where the village committee works. One room was allocated to only the barefoot doctor in the village. Two other rooms are used as primary school in the village, and the remaining three rooms are used to raise a few sows.


    These sows are raised by the public, so when they give birth to the piggies, it will be distributed to the villagers for them to raise.


    Not long ago, a big sow raised in one of the rooms broke through the wooden fence and ran out.


    The people present can¡¯t eat unrestrainedly, don¡¯t talk about the pig. The villagers raise the piglet for more than half a year, after killing it at the end of the year, they can only get 70 to 80 catties of meat. It¡¯s not really that much.


    However, this sow that ran out was different.


    This sow has been raised in the village for several years. It must have weighed more than two or three hundred catties. When it ran out, no one in the village dared to catch it. Furthermore, someone was hit by the pig.


    Lu Yanzhou have just transmigrated into this world. He was still feeling dizzy when he heard shouts coming from afar.


    He hurried over. It was Xie Chengze who was hit.


    Not only that, the sow was surrounded by the crowd, and it was about to rush toward Xie Chengze again.


    Xie Chengze fell to the ground. If the sow that weigh about 200 catties stepped on him¡­


    Lu Yanzhou picked up a bamboo pole on the wall and rushed forward.


    When the bamboo pole hit the sow¡¯s buttocks, it cried in pain and finally ran to the other side. The people on the other side also fled in fright.


    Not letting the sows hurt others, Lu Yanzhou rushed up again waving the bamboo pole to drive it away. It took some time, but the sow was finally driven back to the pigsty.


    Seeing this scene, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. They hurried up and closed the door of the room.


    This room has a door, there¡¯s also a wooden fence around the pigs. When the door open before, the pig broke through the fence and rushed out.


    After Lu Yanzhou finished driving the pigs, the bamboo pole in his hand immediately fell down ¡ª this bamboo pole is thick and long, it also wasn¡¯t light. He was holding his breath just now when he was swiping it wildly and vigorously.


    ¡°Xiao Lu, not bad!¡±


    ¡°Thanks to you this time!¡±


    ¡°It would be bad if it was out!¡±


    ¡­..


    The villagers talked one after another. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have time to talk to them ¡ª he rushed to Xie Chengze¡¯s side to look at Xie Chengze¡¯s situation. At the same time, he also got this body¡¯s memory.


    This world is still similar to earth, and the present is pretty much the same as the 70s on earth.


    The original owner of his body is still called Lu Yanzhou. His father is the deputy chief of the city¡¯s police department. His mother is an accountant in a fertilizer factory.


    His family¡¯s condition is very good, but because of the times, he had to go to the countryside.


    If his family only has two or three children and use their connection and think of a way, in fact, they may all stay in the city. However, there are 5 children in his family. The original owner, the fourth child, and his younger brother, the fifth child, were sent to the countryside.


    However, under their parents¡¯ arrangement, they went to the countryside in the city. This village is in good condition, and with their family¡¯s distant relatives in the village, after the original owner and his younger brother, who was two years younger, arrived, they didn¡¯t suffer much. However, the original owner is not the kind of person who can live and be satisfied with his status quo. His heart is higher than the sky. He was desperate to excel. After knowing that he had to go to the countryside, he made a plan for himself.


    He intends to get a good reputation, do more for the common people, then strive to become worker, peasant, and soldier student. That is to say, in the later generation it¡¯s worker, peasant, and soldier college student.


    Work, peasant, and soldier students were approved by the nominated people leader. It¡¯s not easy to be one of them. They have to work for real and have a good reputation. For example, if they work hard, they will be seen as a model worker.


    Every year, hundreds of thousands of worker, peasant, and soldier students are recruited across the country, many of whom are recommended by factories. Ordinary rural areas do not have the qualifications to recommend students, unless the person is particularly outstanding.


    The original owner¡¯s goal was to become that particularly outstanding person.


    So after going to the countryside, when other educated youths and his younger brother couldn¡¯t bear the life in the countryside, he took the initiative to mingle with the villagers, as if he was not afraid of hardship or tired from working.


    He is also willing to help others. He doesn¡¯t spend any of the subsidies his parents give him but gives them all to people in the village with poor living conditions.


    But this¡­still wasn¡¯t enough.


    Although the people in their village liked him, the people in other villages didn¡¯t even know he existed. Compared with other people, he didn¡¯t have much of an advantage.


    The original owner intends to do something special that can be advertised.


    Coincidentally, not long ago, the city commended a daughter-in-law who took care of her paralyzed mother-in-law for ten years¡­The original owner was inspired and planned to do the same thing.


    There is a paralyzed old man in his village. However, if he were to really take care of him, he really can¡¯t stand it. It is impossible to go to another¡¯s house to take care of the old man¡­


    The original owner was struggling when he suddenly found that there was someone in the village who met his requirements and didn¡¯t need too much care from him.


    This person is called Xie Chengze. He is disabled, his parents died young, so his life is very difficult.


    When Xie Chengze was born, one of his legs had a problem so he had limited mobility. In addition, when his mother was pregnant with him, his father died unexpectedly. When he was five or six years old, his mother fell ill and passed away too. Inevitably there will be people in the village that said that he restrained his father and his mother2He had a bad influence on his parents¡¯ fate causing them to die. His paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents also don¡¯t want to talk to him.


    Such a person is exactly what the original owner wanted!


    Xie Chengze is capable of taking care of himself, so the original owner doesn¡¯t need to really take care of him. All he needs to do is provide him some food and drink, then after taking care of him for a while, he can write an article to promote himself¡­


    Although the original owner had impure thoughts, he did take care of Xie Chengze in the following time. It is just that while taking care of him, the original owner developed other thoughts about Xie Chengze.


    The original owner likes men. Although Xie Chengze¡¯s legs were disable and he was dark and thin, his facial features are really handsome. The original owner secretly confessed to Xie Chengze, wanting to be with Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze is a transparent person in the village and rarely communicates with other people. His relatives also avoid him because of his reputation as a ¡®restrained his parents¡¯ and because they don¡¯t want to support him.


    The original owner was afraid that others would know that he liked men, but he had needs too, so he naturally felt that Xie Chengze was a good choice.


    If he could coax Xie Chengze, not only can he have a good reputation, but he will also have someone who can warm his bed. In the future, even if he goes to college or gets married¡­With Xie Chengze¡¯s character, he won¡¯t dare to make trouble.


    Even if Xie Chengze started to make a fuss¡­At that time, if he beat him up, others would definitely believe him, not Xie Chengze.


    In the end, Xie Chengze rejected him.


    Xie Chengze was very kind to the original owner, but he was unwilling to be with the original owner and refused to agree to the original owner¡¯s confession.


    The original owner felt that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what was good for him and was angry, then something happened to Xie Chengze.


    The sow in the village ran out of the pigsty, knocked over Xie Chengze, and stepped on Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was paralyzed and seriously injured. The villagers took him to the hospital. The doctor said that his life could be saved but it takes a lot of money, and even if his life was saved¡­he can only lie on the bed from then on and could not do much work.


    If Xie Chengze had parents, wife and children, maybe someone would have saved him and taken care of him, but he is alone.


    Who would want to spend a lot of money to rescue a paralyzed man, and then raise him at home to eat their rice?


    Xie Chengze was finally sent home to wait to die.


    The original owner felt it was a pity. When Xie Chengze was able to take care of himself before, he swore that he was willing to take care of Xie Chengze, but now that Xie Chengze can¡¯t take care of himself¡­it was too late for him to hide.


    The original owner didn¡¯t even dare to see Xie Chengze, he was afraid that Xie Chengze would rely on him.


    In the winter, he was injured and with no one to take care of his food, drink, and bowel movement on the bed, Xie Chengze passed away after half a month.


    As for the original owner, he failed to become a worker, peasant, and soldier student, and what happened next¡­This world enters the next cycle.


    The time Lu Yanzhou transmigrated was exactly when Xie Chengze was hit by the pig.


    This time, because he made a timely action, Xie Chengze was not trampled by the pig again. However, Xie Chengze himself was not in good health, so he was still knocked out by the pig again¡­


    Xie Chengze had already fainted, so Lu Yanzhou could only check him carefully.


    In the last world, Lu Yanzhou has been doing charity, accumulating merit, and he also studied medicine in the later period.


    He has learned a lot of medical knowledge, whether it is clinical or pharmaceutical, so his medical skills are very good.


    But at this moment, after he checked Xie Chengze, his heart skipped a beat.


    Xie Chengze is very thin. He, an adult, only weighs a hundred catties. Naturally, he can¡¯t bear the impact of a sow that weighs several hundred catties, and now there¡¯s something wrong with his spine.


    He originally only had a lame leg, but now he may be paralyzed.


    ¡°Little Lu, what¡¯s wrong with Xie boy?¡± the village head asked.


    ¡°Send him to the hospital!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Hearing that he had to go to the hospital, the village chief was a little entangled. It would definitely cost a lot of money to go to the hospital, and the pay might have to come from the village, but the village had no money at all.


    He started to blame Xie Chengze in his heart. Why didn¡¯t the Xie family boy know how to hide when he saw the sow running out?


    Well, the Xie family boy is lame so he can¡¯t hide.


    However, even though he was not happy, the village chief asked for a cart to take Xie Chengze to the hospital in the nearby town.


    The so-called pull cart is also called handcart, which is two-wheeled. Rural people use them to pull heavy objects. When it comes time to pay the grains, they will use it to bring it to the town.


    Even when marrying a wife, the bride also sits in this cart.


    A strong man in his thirties came out of the village and pulled Xie Chengze to the town, while Lu Yanzhou and the village head followed the cart.


    Throughout the whole process, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression was very bad.


    In the last world, after Xie Chengze¡¯s health recovered, he tried his best to raise Xie Chengze to be white and fat. As a result, Xie Chengze in this world looked even more miserable than in the last one, which made him feel distressed.


    Thinking that Xie Chengze died alone with injuries on the original trajectory, he felt even more uncomfortable.


    Lu Yanzhou wished he could cure Xie Chengze immediately, but unfortunately, in order not to attract the heavenly law¡¯s attention, he had no way to bring the merits of the previous world to this world. That is to say, he had to accumulate merits again in order to restore Xie Chengze¡¯s health.


    But in this world, accumulating merit is much more difficult than in the last world. At least in a short period of time, he can¡¯t accumulate much merit.


    Although the original owner of his body had studied before, that was just that, he had never been exposed to medical knowledge. If he directly uses what he learned in his previous life, it will arouse the heavenly law vigilance, and the heavenly law will find that he is different.


    He has to go to college first, or find a teacher, before he can slowly reveal his knowledge.


    This process will takes a lot of time. The knowledge he learned in his previous life was decades later. In this era, there are no sophisticated instruments and basic medicines. Some of the knowledge in his mind is useless even if he takes it out!


    He has to take his time, and Xie Chengze will suffer a lot.


    Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath. He had no way to make Xie Chengze recover immediately. He could only do his best to make Xie Chengze live better before his body recovered.

 CH 29

    The village where Lu Yanzhou went to the countryside is not far from the town, but it takes an hour to walk.


    Xie Chengze was sent to the hospital. After a fuss, the doctor finally finished the examination on Xie Chengze who was groggy, woke up and fainted again.


    He hit Xie Chengze¡¯s leg, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t respond at all¡­The doctor looked at the village chief and Lu Yanzhou with an ugly face: ¡°He has a spinal problem!¡±


    A problem with the spine is very serious, it compresses the nerves! The final diagnosis given by the doctor was that Xie Chengze would most likely be paralyzed in the future with no sensation below his waist.


    Of course, if they did a surgery, then there may be a chance to be cured, but the hospital in their town does not have the conditions for spinal surgery.


    Such a surgery may also not be performed in a big hospital, and even if it is done, it may not be good. The most important thing is¡­Looking at Xie Chengze¡¯s clothes, one can tell that he cannot afford the medical expenses.


    Lu Yanzhou had guessed this result before, so it was not surprising, but his heart still sank.


    Xie Chengze in this world was born with a disabled leg, but he could still walk with a cane and do some light work at that time.


    But now that Xie Chengze is paralyzed, he won¡¯t be able to stand up for a short period of time.


    How is he going to face all this?


    ¡°Little Lu, what should we do now?¡± the village head asked Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Village chief, ask the doctor to treat Xie Chengze¡¯s injuries. We¡¯ll go back after a day¡¯s rest. When we go back, I¡¯ll take care of him.¡±


    Xie Chengze not only had a spinal injury, but also had some injuries that needed to be dealt with, which is why he asked the village chief to send Xie Chengze to the hospital ¨C he had no medicine.


    As for Xie Chengze¡¯s spine¡­he can only wait for him to accumulate enough merits to heal Xie Chengze¡¯s legs altogether.


    ¡°Alright!¡± The village chief was relieved to see that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t ask him to pay for Xie Chengze¡¯s spinal treatment, and then he was stunned: ¡°Wait, you will take care of him?¡±


    The village chief was still worried about who to find to take care of Xie Chengze, but Lu Yanzhou took over the most troublesome job?


    ¡°Well, he has no family members. I¡¯ll just move in and take care of him by the way.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The original owner lived with other educated youths, but he¡­he had to live with Xie Chengze in the future. It will be more convenient for him to take care of Xie Chengze too.


    He was worried about letting others take care of Xie Chengze. In the original trajectory, the village chief actually arranged for someone to take care of Xie Chengze, but that person only went to feed Xie Chengze at night.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s maternal grandparents are far away, and paternal grandparents are not young anymore so they live with his uncle, probably because they are afraid of being entangled by him too, they don¡¯t even bother to look at him.


    When he died, many people breathed a sigh of relief.


    Just as he was recalling, Lu Yanzhou saw Xie Chengze¡¯s eyelashes trembling on the hospital bed.


    In the previous world, Xie Chengze¡¯s skin was particularly fair, but in this world, Xie Chengze¡¯s complexion was dark and rough due to prolonged exposure to the sun.


    Lu Yanzhou walked to the side of the bed in a few steps. His opened eyes filled with confusion.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes slowly became clearer.


    ¡°AZe, you¡¯re awake!¡± Lu Yanzhou turned to call the doctor, ¡°Doctor, he¡¯s awake.¡±


    The doctor who was setting someone else¡¯s bone heard this and said, ¡°he just woke up, give him something to eat.¡±


    The doctor really can¡¯t cure Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze was unconscious before¡­In fact, part of the reason is due to malnutrition.


    Lu Yanzhou also knew about this before, so he asked the doctor to write a prescription note for him and then asked the village chief to buy a pack of brown sugar ¡ª he needed tickets to buy this thing. Fortunately, the note the hospital gave also works.


    Lu Yanzhou prepared a very thick brown sugar water in advance, now he added some hot water to it and brought it to Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t open his mouth, as if he still didn¡¯t understand the situation.


    ¡°AZe, come, drink some water.¡± Lu Yanzhou supported Xie Chengze, and handed the bowl to his mouth.


    Xie Chengze took a sip, then turned his head and refused to drink any more: ¡°I¡¯ll just drink water.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has the original owner¡¯s memory, so he knows why Xie Chengze behaved like this.


    Xie Chengze in this world is not doing well, but he is still unwilling to accept other people¡¯s kindness because he can¡¯t afford it.


    The original owner gave him food before and he refused to accept it, but the original owner insisted on giving it, so he washed the original owner¡¯s clothes.


    The original owner also knew that Xie Chengze had such a personality, so he chose Xie Chengze as the target of ¡®help¡¯. How good is it that he can have a good reputation without paying too much?


    ¡°You are sick, drink quickly,¡± Lu Yanzhou sighed, ¡°You were hit by a pig, this is given to you by the village.¡±


    The village chief only paid for the medical expenses, Lu Yanzhou paid the village chief to buy the brown sugar. However, if Lu Yanzhou says that, Xie Chengze would be willing to drink it¡­


    Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Xie Chengze began to drink slowly. While drinking, he still looked at him from time to time, timidly.


    Azure Dragon, whom he has known for many years, is a strong and ruthless person. However, in these two worlds, the Xie Chengze he knows is completely different from Azure Dragon.


    After Xie Chengze finished drinking the sugar water, Lu Yanzhou took out a pack of yunpian cake, tore off a piece and fed it to him.


    Lu Yanzhou also paid the village chief to buy this cake before too, but he said, ¡°This is also given by the village.¡±


    Xie Chengze took a bite of yunpian cake and held it in his mouth, reluctant to swallow it ¡ª not to mention him, those loved children in the village usually don¡¯t have much chance to eat yunpian cake.


    Both the brown sugar and yunpian cake are sweet, suitable for Xie Chengze who urgently needs to replenish his energy. Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Eat it quickly.¡±


    Xie Chengze swallowed the melted yunpian cake into his stomach, then ate the other half of yunpian cake left in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand.


    Lu Yanzhou tore off another piece of yunpian cake and handed it over.


    Xie Chengze looked at the torn yunpian cake, his eyes were full of distress: ¡°I¡¯m full¡­Lu Zhiqing1This means educated youth. Educated youth Lu sound kinda weird so I will leave it as Zhiqing, you can eat it.¡±


    ¡°This is for patients.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze immediately tried to sit up: ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly stopped Xie Chengze, but Xie Chengze, who was halfway up, had already realized something was wrong.


    He tried to move his legs, but his legs wouldn¡¯t move.


    He only had one leg like this before, now he has both legs like this!


    As soon as he woke up, he drank sugar water and ate yunpian cake, which Lu Yanzhou fed him¡­Xie Chengze originally felt that he was very happy, but at this moment¡­


    His lips trembled, a ¡®hui hui¡¯ sound came out of his throat, but his voice didn¡¯t come out.


    His body also began to tremble immediately afterward.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly hugged him: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, it¡¯ll be fine¡­¡±


    He patted Xie Chengze¡¯s shoulder while talking, finally calming down Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°You fell and hurt your leg. You can¡¯t feel it now but it is going to be okay with more care. It¡¯s going to be okay, it will be fine.¡±


    The hospitals in the town are not so formal. This ward is very big, there are several beds in it, so Xie Chengze is not the only patient staying in it. The doctor is not far away, but no one refutes Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words.


    Xie Chengze looked young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, if he knew that he would not be able to stand up in the future¡­maybe he might not want to live anymore.


    Xie Chengze withdrew from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms, and saw the sympathetic gaze from the people around him.


    He fell into an ice cave.


    He has no feeling in both legs and may never be able to stand up again. How will he live in the future?


    No wonder they gave him sugar water and yunpian cakes.


    Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes tightly and looked up at Lu Yanzhou.


    He bears the name restrained parent and also disabled. The villagers don¡¯t like him. After his mother passed away, Lu Yanzhou was the only one who treated him well.


    Before Lu Yanzhou took the initiative to contact him, he was already paying attention to Lu Yanzhou, thinking that Lu Yanzhou is a good person.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly took the initiative to talk to him, helped him with work and gave him food. He was flattered but also very disturbed. After all, he was very useless and could not help Lu Yanzhou at all.


    When Lu Yanzhou confessed to him, he was even more taken aback.


    He has never thought about such a thing, and he is a cripple. How was he worthy of Lu Yanzhou?


    He refused without thinking.


    But at this moment, he regretted it.


    When Lu Yanzhou fed him sugar water before, his heart beat very fast, he really wanted to kiss Lu Yanzhou. He suddenly realized that he liked Lu Yanzhou.


    He should have agreed to Lu Yanzhou back then, so that he could have a few days to be together with Lu Yanzhou.


    Now that both of his legs are useless, Lu Yanzhou will definitely not like him anymore.


    Xie Chengze stared blankly, frozen still. Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou knew that he didn¡¯t believe what he said.


    There are some people in this world who long for someone to be good to them unconditionally, but Xie Chengze is not such a person.


    He wanted to take care of Xie Chengze, but Xie Chengze may not agree.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to have a good talk with Xie Chengze, but there were so many people here that it was hard to talk.


    Lu Yanzhou took out the yunpian cake: ¡°Eat some more?¡±


    Xie Chengze shook his head: ¡°No. I want to go back¡­¡±


    ¡°Rest here for one night before leaving.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, it¡¯s getting dark now¡­


    ¡°I want to go back¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze insisted on going back. Lu Yanzhou thought about it, and finally agreed.


    With his care, it is better for Xie Chengze to rest at home than in the noisy hospital.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t bring anything with him when he came to the hospital. Lu Yanzhou packed up simply. He took the medicine prescribed for him by the doctor, carried him to the cart, and dragged him back.


    Xie Chengze remained silent.


    When he got to a place where no one was around, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°AZe, you are injured, I will move to live with you in the future and take care of you by the way.¡±


    ¡°I can live by myself.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Although his legs could no longer move, his hands were still there, so he could still live.


    Xie Chengze has experienced too many hardships, so he quickly accepted his current situation.


    ¡°No, I will take care of you.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze opened his mouth.


    Lu Yanzhou probably didn¡¯t know how hard it is to take care of a paralyzed patient, so he said that, that¡¯s why he shouldn¡¯t agree.


    He didn¡¯t want to trouble Lu Yanzhou. He also didn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to see his crippled leg, or see him in a mess.


    The leg he hadn¡¯t used since childhood was shriveled and looked particularly ugly, and now that his other legs also have no feeling, he will definitely be worse in the future.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°AZe, you need someone to take care of you.¡±


    Xie Chengze still didn¡¯t speak.


    When the two returned to Xie Chengze¡¯s residence, it was already dark.


    The original owner used to come to Xie Chengze often. He is very familiar with Xie Chengze¡¯s house. In addition, Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t close the door¡­He opened the door and carried Xie Chengze in the dark into the bed. He lit up the oil lamp, then said: ¡°I¡¯m going to boil some water for you.¡±


    ¡°You leave.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Aze¡­¡±


    ¡°You leave.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not leaving.¡±


    ¡°Do you want me to come down and drive you away?¡± Xie Chengze propped himself up and was about to get out of bed.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s spinal problem could not be cured by the hospital, but Xie Chengze still had to stay in bed to recuperate.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately stepped forward and hugged him, not letting him move.


    ¡°You leave.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou seriously.


    Under the faint light of the oil lamp, his eyes shone with determination.


    Xie Chengze made up his mind to drive him away!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to accept his help!


    Many thoughts flashed through Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mind, and he finally said, ¡°I won¡¯t leave, I like you, I won¡¯t leave you alone.¡±


    Once Lu Yanzhou said these words, it was easy to say the following: ¡°Xie Chengze, I really like you, a lot. Without you, I would not be able to live¡­Please, let me take care of you.¡±


    Xie Chengze was dumbfounded.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°If you drive me away again, I¡¯ll tell others that I like men, and then let them arrest me!¡±


    In the last world, Lu Yanzhou was with Xie Chengze by mistake. Before he came to this world, he had already made up his mind not to repeat the same mistakes.


    Firstly, loving the soul fragment after seeing the soul fragment makes him seem a bit like a scumbag, and secondly¡­Accident occasionally happened, he only fell in love with one of Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments, so the situation is not too bad.


    But if he kidnapped Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments again and again, Xie Chengze might kill him in the future.


    However, when he came to this world, the original owner had already confessed his love.


    Nevermind that, Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t even let him take care of him now.


    He and Xie Chengze have no relationship and no good reason, so what reason does he have to take care of Xie Chengze? He can only use the reason that he likes Xie Chengze.


    The Xie Chengze of this world once rejected the original owner, so he probably doesn¡¯t like men. In the future, he can guide Xie Chengze so that he doesn¡¯t go astray.


    What¡¯s more¡­With Xie Chengze¡¯s current physical condition, they can¡¯t do anything. They can get along like friends first, and when Xie Chengze recovers and has a new life, they will naturally separate.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou said again: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t drive me away.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and opened his mouth.


    He did not speak but burst into tears.


    He hasn¡¯t cried since finding out how bad his situation was, but now he couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    T/N: Zhouzhou, good luck separating in the future (?¦Å?`*) ¡­

 CH 30

    Xie Chengze cried a lot.


    Lu Yanzhou laid him down on the bed, and then lay beside him to accompany him, letting him cry.


    No matter who it is, when encountering such a thing, they should cry it all out first.


    It just that seeing Xie Chengze crying like this broke his heart.


    In his previous life, Xie Chengze had been with him for decades, and he had never cried like this¡­


    Lu Yanzhou really wanted to hug him and kiss him, but in the end he held back.


    Lu Yanzhou has to admit that he likes Xie Chengze, no matter which one it is.


    The people who join World Management have only souls and no physical bodies. They will then go to the small world to do tasks, and experience various lives and have various personalities.


    People like them only rely on their souls.


    What he has always liked is also Xie Chengze¡¯s soul.


    In the last world, he always emphasized that Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments were different from Xie Chengze himself. Actually, he just wanted to remind himself not to cross the line.


    But no matter what, it was also the soul of the person he liked, just like the person in front of him, who could easily arouse his feelings.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll be fine, you¡¯ll be fine¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou patted Xie Chengze on the back.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s crying gradually became weaker with each patted, and he soon fell asleep.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou wanted to get out of bed, but when he moved, Xie Chengze trembled in surprise, as if he was about to wake up. He thought for a moment, then he didn¡¯t move.


    Lu Yanzhou lay on the bed and thought for a long time.


    This world is like a parallel world of earth, the development route is almost alike too.


    Now it is the end of 1974. The way to go to university is to become a worker, peasant, and soldier student. However, three years later, the college entrance examination will be reopened.


    Now that the household registration management is strict, he has no way to take Xie Chengze out of the village. Living in such an environment, he has no contact with anyone who can ¡®teach¡¯ him any medical skills.


    So there is a high probability that he and Xie Chengze will have to stay in the village for the next three years, and after three years¡­the college entrance examination will allow them to leave here.


    Three years¡­Xie Chengze will have to suffer for at least three more years¡­


    If not for the fear that his abnormal action will make the small world consciousness reject him and cause trouble to Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou would have gone directly to the country and told them everything he knew!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t fall asleep, but Xie Chengze was asleep.


    Seeing that he was fast asleep, Lu Yanzhou quietly got out of bed.


    The house Xie Chengze lives in was left to him by his parents. There are two south-facing rooms with a partition between the two rooms.


    Half of the room was used for sleeping. Half of it was used to store food, firewood, and other dry food. The other half facing south is the kitchen and dining area. The back is a pigsty, however, there is no pig there but two sheep.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou walked out of the bedroom, he heard the two sheep bleating ¡®baa-baa¡¯ and kept leaning against the wooden fence ¨C they were hungry.


    Xie Chengze is only eighteen years old this year. He has just grown up. Not to mention he is thin and has a lame leg. He have the lowest point in the village.


    If he lived in a big family, it would be survivable. However, it is difficult for him who lives alone and needs all kinds of household items and food.


    He raises two sheep because he can have some extra point for raising sheep, but for him, it takes twice as much effort as ordinary people to cut enough grass for the two sheep.


    This is only because he has grown up now. When he was young and had no way of earning work points and could only raise sheep, he was often robbed of the hard-earned sheep grass by other children.


    Before when the original owner approached him and casually gave him two handfuls of grass, he was overwhelmed with gratitude.


    Lu Yanzhou took a look, and found that there was half a frame of grass on the side of the wall. He took it out and fed it to the sheep. Then he found Xie Chengze¡¯s grain, cooked a pot of porridge, and steamed some pickles with it.


    When cooking porridge, as soon as the water boiled, Lu Yanzhou stopped adding firewood because there was not enough firewood.


    Some villages next to the mountains may not be short of firewood, but Lianfeng Village is located on a plain, so every household faces a shortage of firewood. Therefore, every household faces a shortage of firewood. Thus, when cooking, they will try to use less to save firewood.


    Leaving the rice soak in the pot, Lu Yanzhou found the pen and paper that the original owner gave Xie Chengze. He wrote a line and put it on Xie Chengze¡¯s bedside, then took Xie Chengze¡¯s bamboo basket and went out with a sickle.


    In this era, not only is there a shortage of food, even grass is short.


    The pigs and sheep raised at home have to eat grass, but how much grass can be taken from the field? Many times, the grass is cut as soon as it emerges!


    It¡¯s been cold lately, so there¡¯s even less grass to cut!


    Lu Yanzhou wandered under the moonlight for three hours. When he returned at dawn, he had half filled it with grass.


    As soon as he got home, he heard the two sheep bleating again.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t go take care of the sheep, but went into Xie Chengze¡¯s room first. He found that Xie Chengze was already awake, staring at him. The pen and paper he had left behind had obviously been touched.


    ¡°I woke up early so I went to cut some grass.¡± Lu Yanzhou walked to Xie Chengze¡¯s side and explained in a low voice, touching his head again, ¡°Your spine is injured,lie still. I¡¯ll get you something to eat.¡±


    The rice he cooked earlier had been soaked in water until soft, however it was also cold now. Lu Yanzhou added two handfuls of firewood to heat it up, filled a bowl, poured brown sugar into it, then brought it to Xie Chengze¡¯s side.


    The porridge cooked in this way has a poor taste, but in this era, no one is picky about the taste.


    Xie Chengze bit his lip and looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Hey, eat more. You will get better.¡±


    After staring at Lu Yanzhou for a while, Xie Chengze finally opened his mouth and began to eat slowly. As he ate, his face suddenly changed. Laying beside the edge of the bed, he seems to want to reach for something under the bed.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked, and then saw Xie Chengze slumped on the bed.


    Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Yanzhou touched the quilt, only to find that Xie Chengze had peed.


    So just now, what Xie Chengze wanted was the chamber pot under the bed.


    Paralyzed patients are prone to incontinence. Judging from the situation just now, Xie Chengze¡¯s condition is not that bad ¡ª he still has a little feeling, but the feeling is weak.


    As long as he pays more attention and takes good care of it, he should be able to control himself in the future.


    As for now¡­it¡¯s cold now, Xie Chengze can¡¯t just be cover like this. Lu Yanzhou stretched out his hand to lift the quilt.


    ¡°Get out!¡± Xie Chengze pressed the quilt firmly.


    ¡°If you¡¯re disobedient, I¡¯ll go outside and shout that I like men.¡± Lu Yanzhou threatened him.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t move.


    Lu Yanzhou continued to take off Xie Chengze¡¯s pants.


    As soon as he took it off, he saw Xie Chengze¡¯s lame leg. It was skinny and had no meat. It looked like a layer of skin that was just wrapped around the bone.


    With trembling hands, Lu Yanzhou helped Xie Chengze change his pants with the shortest time.


    But Xie Chengze didn¡¯t have an extra quilt¡­Lu Yanzhou covered use the not wet part of the quilt to cover Xie Chengze¡¯s body, and said, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll go get my bedding.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou left after speaking.


    Xie Chengze watched him leave, unable to tell what he was feeling.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw his legs just now, did he feel that it was ugly and disgusting? Never want to see him again?


    Even if Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t think his leg is disgusting, taking care of him is tiring work. After Lu Yanzhou takes care of him for a few more days, he will definitely not be able to stand him ¡ª Some old and paralyzed people in the village who could only stay on the bed, even their children dislike them.


    Lu Yanzhou have n relationship nor good to be with him¡­


    He wanted to drive Lu Yanzhou away, but he also couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it, hoping that Lu Yanzhou would not dislike him.


    He is actually a very selfish person.


    Morning.


    Although it was very cold, people just wanted to stay in bed, but they still had to do the work in the field and get up to make breakfast, so the educated youths in the educated youth place got up early.


    There are not many educated youths in the village. They live in two houses, one for male educated youths and one for female educated youths. Behind the two houses is the kitchen and hut.


    Now the person in charge of cooking has already started making preparations for today. He hesitated for a moment, then ask a youth about 17 or 18 years old with red lips and white teeth; ¡°Lu Hongxing, your brother didn¡¯t come back last night, should we cook breakfast for him too?¡±


    ¡°No, he will definitely be full in town already.¡± Lu Hongxing raised his chin and said.


    Lu Hongxing is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s younger brother. He and Lu Yanzhou came to this village in the countryside together two years ago.


    Lu Yanzhou is a very nice person. No matter who is in trouble, he will take the initiative to help, and he is very diligent in his work, so everyone likes him very much, but Lu Hongxing is the complete opposite.


    After coming to the village, Lu Hongxing quarreled with the old educated youth who lived here on the first day because he saw lice before going to bed. Afterwards, he even cheated and avoided work. He will also lose his temper from time to time¡­Whether it¡¯s the educated youths or people in the village, none of them like him.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sake, everyone would have excluded him long ago.


    Seeing that Lu Hongxing¡¯s tone was not good at the moment, everyone pretended not to hear it and started talking about Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou is there, otherwise the sows in our village would run away, and they may not be able to find it back.¡±


    ¡°They can get it back if they look for it, but it won¡¯t be easy to catch it alive. Before, when the pigs in the next village ran away, they had to beat it to death before they could take it back¡­¡±


    ¡°That sow has always had the most litter. It¡¯s a pity to die.¡±


    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t worry about pigs. The most pitiful one is Xie Chengze. I heard from the village chief that he will be paralyzed in the future.¡±


    ¡°Then what can he do?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, his life is already so sad¡­¡±


    ¡­¡­


    When Xie Chengze was mentioned, several educated youths were a little bit embarrassed.


    At this time, an educated youth who was about the same age as Lu Hongxing said, ¡°Brother Lu will take care of him, won¡¯t he? The village chief said it yesterday.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what the village chief said, but Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze have no relationship, why let Lu Yanzhou take care of him? Xie Chengze¡¯s relatives should take care of him¡­¡± said an older educated youth.


    When the village chief came back yesterday, he said that Lu Yanzhou had promised to take care of Xie Chengze in the future, but he didn¡¯t know if it was true or not.


    That is a tiring job, so the old educated youth felt that Lu Yanzhou shouldn¡¯t do it.


    ¡°Brother Lu took good care of Xie Chengze before. He has a good heart. He doesn¡¯t want to see others suffer, so he take the initiative to take care of him. The village chief also said that he asked for it.¡± The young educated youth sighed, ¡°Brother Lu is just too kind.¡±


    Others also felt that what the young educated youth said was reasonable ¡ª Lu Yanzhou was too kind, so he was always taken advantage of.


    Seeing the expressions of the people around, Lu Hongxing sneered: ¡°You think too highly of my brother, my brother is not such a good person! Ask him to do a little favor and he can do a little favor, but when encountering this kind of thing, he will definitely hide as far as he can!¡±


    Lu Hongxing really didn¡¯t like that fake Lu Yanzhou.


    He knew Lu Yanzhou very well. Lu Yanzhou pretended to be a good person, but in fact he was full of bad thoughts.


    Not to mention anything else, let¡¯s just talk about taking care of a paralyzed patient¡­Lu Yanzhou likes cleanliness and he is impatient. It is impossible for him to take care of a paralyzed patient.


    ¡°Lu Hongxing, don¡¯t talk nonsense, brother Lu is not such a person!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Lu Yanzhou is not such a person.¡±


    ¡°Lu Hongxing, don¡¯t keep saying bad things about your brother!¡±


    The educated youths all said one after another.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything bad about him! If you don¡¯t believe me, just wait and see, my brother will find a reason to push this job away!¡± Lu Hongxing said with certainty, ¡°I am his brother, how can I not know him? If he is really willing to take care of Xie Chengze, I¡¯ll call him dad!¡±


    Seeing that Lu Hongxing was so sure, those educated youths hesitated and started to believed Lu Hongxing¡¯s words.


    And at this moment, Lu Yanzhou came back alone.


    Lu Hongxing was proud: ¡°Look, my brother came back alone¡­He probably left Xie Chengze in the hospital!¡±


    ¡°Brother Lu is not the kind of person you said!¡± The young educated youth who kept saying good things about Lu Yanzhou was so angry that when he saw Lu Yanzhou approaching, he asked loudly, ¡°Brother Lu, how is Xie Chengze? Where is him?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s fine, he¡¯s at home.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    ¡°You came back from the hospital so early?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou explained: ¡°We didn¡¯t come back today, we came back last night.¡±


    ¡°Brother Lu, did you stay at Xie Chengze¡¯s place last night?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I stayed at his house yesterday¡­I will move in to live in his house in the future, so that it will be more confident for me to take care of him.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The educated youths in the educated youth residence looked at Lu Hongxing together when they heard the words ¡ª is it time to call him dad?


    Lu Hongxing: ¡°¡­¡±

 CH 31

    Lu Yanzhou was in a hurry to take his quilt to cover Xie Chengze, so he didn¡¯t say much to the educated youths.


    He picked up his quilt and left: ¡°I still have to take care of Xie Chengze over there, so I¡¯ll go there first.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The educated youths nodded one after another.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou disappear from their sight, everyone started discussing: ¡°If Lu Yanzhou is going to live with Xie Chengze, let¡¯s help him move later.¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze has encountered such a thing, should we go and see him?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going. He¡¯s also quite unlucky. How many eggs shall we send him?¡±


    ¡­


    Lianfeng Village is located on a plain, without natural resources such as mountains and forests, but there are many fertile lands that can grow food, so the life of the villagers is not bad.


    If it weren¡¯t for this, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents would not have sent their two sons here in this countryside.


    It is impossible for the educated youth here to eat and drink well, but it is still possible to fill their stomachs and occasionally eat an egg ¡ª they raise chickens per person.


    Now that something like this happened to someone in the village, everyone decided to collect a few eggs and send them over.


    There was also the village chief who was going to see Xie Chengze and give him something by the way.


    The village couldn¡¯t afford Xie Chengze¡¯s medical treatment, so the village chief thought about taking a hen from the village to Xie Chengze later as a condolence from the village.


    Then give Lu Yanzhou another hen, and treat it as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reward for taking care of Xie Chengze.


    Thinking of this, the village head felt a little guilty.


    He was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would go back on his word, so when he returned to the village yesterday, he told everyone about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s willingness to take care of Xie Chengze.


    When the educated youths and the village chief were thinking about going to see Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou had already replaced all of Xie Chengze¡¯s bedding, and replaced his own bedding with Xie Chengze¡¯s.


    Xie Chengze was a little dazed: ¡°What if I dirty your bedding?¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s dirty, it¡¯s dirty, I¡¯ll watch over you. I¡¯ll definitely get you the chamber pot in time.¡± Lu Yanzhou acted calmly, which reassured Xie Chengze a lot.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Why are you so nice to me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou opened his mouth and said, ¡°I like you.¡±


    Xie Chengze covered his head with a quilt. Lu Yanzhou smiled and began to remove Xie Chengze¡¯s quilt.


    Rural people really don¡¯t mind it. After the children in their family wet the bed, they basically use it after drying it in the sun.


    This is something people can¡¯t do anything about, most people do not have extra bedding.


    But Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t plan to just dry it out, he planned to remove Xie Chengze¡¯s quilt cover and wash it clean, and then find someone to change the cotton inside again ¡ª this quilt is too hard, how can it be used as a blanket?


    Ordinary families, with several family members, can always save some money to make some clothes throughout the year. Their village can raise silkworms to grow cotton, so they can get cocoons and cotton to make new cotton clothes and quilts.


    But Xie Chengze has nothing. In the past few years, he has been wearing the old clothes left by his parents and used the old quilts left by his parents. Now more than ten years have passed, these are all worn out!


    The hardened quilt can¡¯t keep warm anymore.


    After Lu Yanzhou unpacked the changed bedding, he went to the kitchen and drank some porridge with pickles.


    This is Xie Chengze¡¯s food, but he will bring his food later. There is no need to distinguish so clearly when the two eat together.


    He has a lot of food.


    The original owner¡¯s family was relatively wealthy, with good living conditions, and his body is healthy.


    When he first came to the countryside, he didn¡¯t know how to do farm work, so he suffered a bit, but after getting started, he gradually got used to it.


    In order to have a good reputation, he worked very hard. He was always given full work points, and the food he got was far more than Xie Chengze.


    The original owner¡¯s parents also sent him some money, although most of it was used by him to do good deeds, but he kept some, otherwise he would not have the money to buy brown sugar and pastries yesterday.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou finished eating, the educated youths came over. They looked at Xie Chengze, said a few words of comfort, left ten eggs, then went to work.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t go and asked them to ask for leave for him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s situation has not stabilized yet. He still has things to do, so he has no time to go to work today.


    After they left, Lu Yanzhou took the chamber pot and came to the bedside: ¡°AZe, you drank porridge in the morning, let¡¯s go to the toilet, okay.¡±


    Xie Chengze drank a big bowl of brown sugar porridge in the morning, so it¡¯s time to release.


    Xie Chengze froze: ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it. You have to get used to it slowly,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°And I¡¯ve seen it before, so what are you afraid of?¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned, so Lu Yanzhou untied his pants.


    Lu Yanzhou helped Xie Chengze release, then put down the chamber pot and said, ¡°You sleep for a while, I¡¯ll go and bring my things here.¡±


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Do you really want to take care of me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou replied: ¡°Really. You wait for me at home. Eat some yunpian cakes if you are hungry.¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he fed the grass he cut last night to the two sheep, then walked to the educated youth spot.


    The original owner didn¡¯t have many things, at least much less than his younger brother Lu Hongxing, after all he always helped others.


    But his things are of good quality, so Lu Yanzhou still packed them up.


    At the same time, some people came to Xie¡¯s house.


    There are no secrets in the small village. Everything that needs to be known, even Xie Chengze¡¯s paralysis, is known.


    It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t know him very well, so they¡¯re too embarrassed to come to the door. If they know him well¡­They¡¯re afraid that they will be trapped after they come to the door, they have to take care of him.


    Although the village chief said yesterday that Lu Zhiqing was willing to take care of Xie Chengze, maybe after a few days of taking care of him, he wouldn¡¯t want to anymore?


    At that time, the village head will definitely find someone who has a good relationship with Xie Chengze to take care of him.


    It wasn¡¯t until the village chief discussed with the villagers and confirmed that Lu Yanzhou would take care of Xie Chengze with two hens, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the village chief to see Xie Chengze.


    Unlike pigs, every household has chickens, that is, they are not allowed to raise more too, so they have no objection to giving the chicken to Xie Chengze.


    By the way, if Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t raise chickens, he won¡¯t have any food.


    When they arrived at Xie Chengze¡¯s house, the village chief was a little worried when he saw that Lu Yanzhou was not there, but he felt relieved when he saw the quilt on Xie Chengze in a blink of an eye.


    It was Lu Zhiqing¡¯s quilt. When the two brothers came here with brand new and beautiful quilts, everyone went to watch it.


    What¡¯s more, there was an unpacked yunpian cake next to the bed.


    ¡°Xiao Xie, we¡¯re here to see you.¡± The village chief greeted him, then asked, ¡°Where is Lu zhiqing?¡±


    Xie Chengze whispered: ¡°He went back to get his things.¡±


    ¡°I see! Did you have breakfast yet?¡±


    ¡°Have.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you did. Lu zhiqing will live with you in the future and take care of you by the way, you understand? Don¡¯t worry, Lu Zhiqing is a good person and will take good care of you. Yesterday he asked me to buy brown sugar and yunpian cake again¡­it costs a lot of money, but he is willing to do it.¡± The village head talked a lot. He also talked about giving Xie Chengze two chickens.


    In fact, the village chief wanted to give Xie Chengze the lowest point in the beginning, so that he could share some things with him at the end of the year, but many people in the village disagreed, saying that there are old people in their family who can¡¯t work too. If Xie Chengze can get these benefits, then they also want it.


    So the village chief didn¡¯t mention it.


    But the village will also distribute some food according to people. Xie Chengze should¡­not starve to death?


    Alas, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t get to live for long. Throughout the ages, which paralyzed person didn¡¯t just lie in bed for a few years before lying down to death?


    The village chief had spoken, so the people who followed him said a few more or less words.


    Xie Chengze was lying on the bed, seeing some of them showing sympathy and some gloating.


    He has never had a sense of presence in the village.


    When his mother passed away, it happened to be a time of serious natural disasters. Many people in the village starved to death at that time, so no one wanted to raise such an incompetent oil bottle like him.


    His grandparents said everywhere that he was a restrained family person, so everyone in the village avoided him. Even if someone felt sorry for him and gave him something to eat, they would put it at the door of his house at night, not daring to be seen or let him see them, afraid of being entangled with him.


    It was not so difficult later on, but everyone was used to it, so they kept him at a respectful distance.


    This is the first time that so many people have come to him, ¡®caring¡¯ about him.


    After all, these people came to see him, so they left some things behind. However, when they left, Xie Chengze only looked at the yunpian cake by the bedside.


    He took it in his hand, tore a piece and put it in his mouth.


    This cake is very sweet, the sweetest thing he has ever eaten.


    Lu Yanzhou is unlikely to take care of him for a lifetime, but he is someone who once cared about him, his life is not in vain.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou came back, he saw the two chickens and learned of the village head¡¯s decision. He was a little happy: ¡°With these two chickens, we will have eggs to eat in the future.¡±


    Nowadays, there are regulations that won¡¯t allow them to raise too many chickens. Two people are only allowed to raise one.


    For example, a family of six people is only allowed to raise three chickens, and if there are seven people, they can raise one more chicken making it four chickens.


    The educated youths in the educated youth house raised a few chickens together, but most of the chickens were not available to him¡­He was planning to buy one and keep it for Xie Chengze to eat eggs.


    ¡°Not enough food¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll figure it out. Next year, we can catch two ducks to raise.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Although there are many regulations in the village, Xie Chengze¡¯s situation is special. He has talked with the village chief about it, they should be more accommodating.


    He isn¡¯t going to go too far, is he?


    As Lu Yanzhou spoke, he began to tidy up his things, and said, ¡°I brought most of my rations. Some of them were put together with other people, I¡¯ll share them later in the evening.¡±


    The educated youths at the educated youth canter were divided into men and women separately. They handed in the same amount of food at the beginning of each month, weighed it for cooking, and divided it equally after cooking.


    Cooking together in this way can save firewood. As for why men and women are separated, one pot cannot cook for everyone, and secondly, female educated youths eat less than male educated youths.


    The original owner has already handed in this month¡¯s grain, so he can go get it back later.


    In addition, when the village collects food, sweet potatoes, etc., it will be divided at that time. At the end of the year, some things will still be distributed, and money will be distributed according to work points.


    The original owner worked hard this year, so he should be able to get quite a lot¡­After Lu Yanzhou settled the score, he felt a lot easier.


    After tidying up, Lu Yanzhou went to cook again.


    The lack of firewood is really a big problem. It¡¯s no wonder that in ancient times, big families liked to live together ¡ª so many people cook and eat together, a lot of firewood can be saved.


    Lu Yanzhou took enough rice for two meals and put it in the pot, then cut two slices of the original owner¡¯s bacon and threw it in.


    Then, he took a bowl, put four eggs in it, added a little water and put it on the steaming rack, then pulled two radishes from the private area by the door, cut them up, and steamed them with the pickles.


    As for the radish leaves, he throws them directly into the sheep pen.


    After the water boiled for a while, Lu Yanzhou stopped ¡ª the residual temperature in the stove was enough to cook the rice.


    When Lu Yanzhou was cooking, he put the leftover porridge soup from the morning on the lid of the pot. The porridge soup is already warm now, so he took it to Xie Chengze: ¡°The meal will take a while before ready. Here, drink some water first.¡±


    Xie Chengze shook his head: ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°Have a drink.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to drink.¡± Xie Chengze refused to open his mouth.


    Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment, then he knew why Xie Chengze refused to drink. It was most likely because he was afraid that he would want to use the bathroom after drinking.


    Otherwise¡­Xie Chengze drank some porridge in the morning, and ate the dry yunpian cake in the middle, so he should be thirsty by now.


    If he had boiled water, he wouldn¡¯t be giving Xie Chengze porridge soup right now.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t drink, I¡¯ll go out and tell others that I like men.¡± Lu Yanzhou said again, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s old, as long as it works.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with a complicated gaze.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Drink it, I didn¡¯t boil water, so you can drink some of this first.¡±


    Xie Chengze still slowly drank it.


    After he finished drinking, Lu Yanzhou took the chamber pot and let him release it, and then went out to fetch water.


    There is a well in the temple that is used as the compound of the village committee. Most of the villagers go there for drinking water.


    As for laundry or something, just go to the river to use it.


    Lianfeng Village can also be regarded as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a place where there is no shortage of water.


    After Lu Yanzhou brings back drinking water, the food is ready. He set down a bowl of rice with two slices of bacon on the rice to Xie Chengze. He also peeled two eggs for him and put them in the bowl altogether for him.


    ¡°If I eat this, how about you?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°I can eat the meat, but the eggs were given to you by the others.¡± Lu Yanzhou answered.


    Xie Chengze looked deeply at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Why are you so kind to me?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, I like you.¡± Lu Yanzhou emphasized again.


    Xie Chengze, holding the bowl, stared blankly at the oily white rice and the two eggs, a little dazed.


    Is there really someone¡­who likes him so much?


    Lu Yanzhou is such a good person, why did he like him?


    ¡°Eat, eat more, so that your body can get better early.¡± Lu Yanzhou urged him to eat.


    At the same time, the villagers had already left work and were going home for lunch.


    There is not much work in winter, only weeding the wheat and rapeseed in the fields, so this morning, everyone is talking about new things in the village.


    Xie Chengze was paralyzed, and Lu Yanzhou is going to take care of him!


    ¡°This Lu zhiqing is really nice.¡±


    ¡°You just found out today?¡±


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing is a big man, I don¡¯t know if he can take good care of him.¡±


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing is also very careful, and with Xie Chengze like this, it¡¯s already very good to be alive, don¡¯t be too particular.¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is lucky to have Lu zhiqing to take care of him.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Lu Zhiqing can¡¯t take care of him forever. Lu Zhiqing is not young, and he will one day get married. Now he can still look after him, but when Lu Zhiqing gets married, he will no longer be able to take care of him.¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Hongxing was very unhappy to hear people around him praise Lu Yanzhou so much.


    He knew that although his fourth elder brother could pretend, he never wanted to suffer. In their house before, every time his parents wanted to give him something because he was the youngest, his fourth brother would resort to tricks and ask his parents to share half of what was originally intended for him alone.


    Lu Hongxing said: ¡°My brother is not that kind. He went to take care of Xie Chengze, maybe because he wanted the chicken and eggs that the villagers gave Xie Chengze. When he eats up all the food, he will definitely ignore Xie Chengze.¡±


    The male educated youth who was about Lu Hongxing¡¯s age and called Lu Yanzhou ¡®Brother Lu¡¯ was Liu Tongming. He was annoyed when he heard the words: ¡°Lu Hongxing, you are too much. Brother Lu is so good, yet you still speak ill of him behind his back!¡±


    Lu Hongxing said: ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. If you don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s go to Xie Chengze¡¯s side now. My brother must be eating Xie Chengze¡¯s eggs.¡±


    His brother is greedy. He used to help others, and he only gave them bad food¡­He didn¡¯t believe that his brother would not eat the eggs!


    Liu Tongming said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡±


    Going to Xie Chengze¡¯s house was on the way, so the few educated youths went together.


    People in the village don¡¯t close the door during the day, so if they want to go through the door, they can go in directly. When they went in, they saw Lu Yanzhou coming out of Xie Chengze¡¯s house.


    Xie Chengze leaned on the bed and was eating. The snow-white rice was covered with two slices of bacon, there were two eggs in it, which looked very tempting.


    The educated youth swallowed subconsciously.


    Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, didn¡¯t you say you want to move? Do you want us to help?¡± an older educated youth asked. They couldn¡¯t say that they came to see if Lu Yanzhou was eating other¡¯s eggs.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already packed,¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled, then filled himself with a bowl of rice, mixed it with pickles, ¡°but I¡¯ll go to see you at night, um, I¡¯ll have my share of the rations I pay for.¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡± The educated youth immediately replied.


    The educated youths came and went with a whoosh.


    They didn¡¯t know whether Lu Yanzhou had eaten Xie Chengze¡¯s eggs.


    However, they saw just now that Xie Chengze was covered with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s quilt, and his bowl of rice was full of good food.


    Besides, the village doesn¡¯t kill pigs now, so the villagers don¡¯t have bacon, but Lu Yanzhou has¡­


    Everyone looked at Lu Hongxing wrongly!


    Lu Hongxing was in a hurry. On the way to work after eating, he couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°My brother, that guy, likes to be clean. He can cook for Xie Chengze, but he will definitely not wash Xie Chengze¡¯s clothes. With Xie Chengze paralyze on the bed, I just don¡¯t know what he¡¯s going to be like.¡±


    Liu Tongming just went to the countryside this year. When he first came, he knew nothing. It was Lu Yanzhou who taught him little by little, so he respected Lu Yanzhou very much.


    At this moment, Liu Tongming pointed at Lu Yanzhou who was not far away by the river beach and sneered: ¡°You said your brother won¡¯t wash Xie Chengze¡¯s clothes? Look who that is!¡±


    On the edge of the river beach, Lu Yanzhou was washing clothes and quilts.


    Those things are obviously not his.


    Lu Hongxing: ¡°¡­¡± What happened to his brother? Possessed by a ghost?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Lu Hongxing was thinking about him in private.


    He had seen the original owner¡¯s memory. The original owner didn¡¯t like this younger brother much, and he also didn¡¯t plan to have more contact with Lu Hongxing.


    The original owner¡¯s two elder brothers and one older sister were three to five years apart in age. The original owner and his younger brother were said to be two years apart in age, but in fact they were only one and a half years apart.


    The original owner was only eight months when she was pregnant with the original owner¡¯s younger brother. After that, she had no time to take care of the original owner, and left the original owner to the elders.


    The original owner returned to his parents when he was six years old and started going to school. Seeing that his younger brother, who was about the same size as him, was close to his parents but he was left alone and even asked to give way to his younger brother. Naturally, he was not happy.


    However, the original owner did not suffer materially. When he was with his grandparents, he ate well. After returning to his parents¡­ he learned to pretend to be good without a teacher. When his younger brother didn¡¯t go to school, he said: ¡°Little brother is so brave. I dare not fight.¡±


    His younger brother did not pass the exam, so he said: ¡°Little brother is so smart, he can do so well in the exam without doing homework. I have to worked very hard to get a good grade in the exam.¡±


    He will also rush to do housework: ¡°Mom, dad, I feel sorry for you!¡±


    ¡­


    Even going to the countryside¡­The original owner¡¯s younger brother quarreled and refused to go to the countryside. After the original owner knew that he had to go to the countryside, he was very positive, making his parents have a good impression of him.


    The original owner¡¯s behavior will be called ¡®green tea¡¯ in future generations. But no matter how tea is, the original owner¡¯s parents were actually partial to their youngest son. The original owner¡¯s younger brother is a bit bearish, so he doesn¡¯t have a good impression of the original owner. He will find trouble with the original owner from time to time.


    Lu Yanzhou would not fight for favor with Lu Hongxing, but it was impossible to praise Lu Hongxing. As for the original owner¡¯s parents, he would definitely repay the favor of nurturing in the future.


    In the previous life, his parents lived a good life in their later years.


    It¡¯s quite interesting to say that after Xie¡¯s company was acquired in his previous life, his cousin Xie Chengyun actually changed. Later on he was quite promising. His aunt also changed her personality and was kind to them.


    It was only later that he learned that Xie Yuan was not very close to his aunt. Xie Yuan wanted to kill Xie Chengze, that scared even his aunt and his cousin. The two felt that Xie Yuan had always used them as a shield. In the future, maybe the whole company will be given to An Chenyuan. They were ¡®greatly enlightened¡¯.


    But even so, Lu Yanzhou still had very little contact with Xie Chengyun in his previous life, so in this life¡­he didn¡¯t plan to befriend Lu Hongxing either.


    Back at Xie¡¯s house, Lu Yanzhou dried his clothes and quilts, then went to take care of Xie Chengze to go to the toilet. At night, he even boiled a pot of water.


    While the water was boiling, Lu Yanzhou stopped by to heat up the noon meal on the steamer. After the meal was over, he used the hot water in the pot to wipe Xie Chengze¡¯s body.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t stop him this time. He watched the man who had been busy all day wipe his body clean and massage his legs, he couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Are my legs ugly? My lower body is still completely unresponsive¡­Even if you like me, you don¡¯t want me like this, do you? Can you bear it?¡±


    Although Xie Chengze was young, he heard a lot of nasty talk from the men around him when he was working, so he was very clear about the things between men and women.


    He was paralyzed, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t do anything with him, could Lu Yanzhou really accept it?


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze, very calmly: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I actually¡­can¡¯t stand up.¡±

 CH 32

    Even ignoring this statement, there is also Lu Yanzhou¡¯s intention.


    In this world, he must not make the same mistake as the one in the last world again, and that being the case¡­he simply said that he couldn¡¯t do it.


    After Xie Chengze recovers physically and has a brand new life, he can take advantage of the opportunity to let Xie Chengze go free.


    After all, he couldn¡¯t stand.


    Well, when the time comes, he can also pretend to be obsessed with research and naturally distance from Xie Chengze!


    Lu Yanzhou said it easily, but Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in shock.


    Lu Yanzhou is a good person, very, very good. Such a person, why¡­can¡¯t his thing stand?


    Heaven is too unfair!


    But if Lu Yanzhou¡¯s thing couldn¡¯t stand, then when Lu Yanzhou confessed to him before, he thought¡­he thought¡­


    The men in the village talked about everything, so Xie Chengze had heard them talk about a sissy in the town before. He knows about what men and men can do together.


    When Lu Yanzhou confessed to him, he thought that Lu Yanzhou wanted to sleep with him. He also thought that when he took off his clothes and revealed his ugly legs, Lu Yanzhou would definitely not like it.


    In the end¡­is he wrong?


    But now¡­but now he is paralyze, he can¡¯t satisfy Lu Yanzhou either.


    Why did Lu Yanzhou still stay with him?


    Wait, if Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t stand, maybe he doesn¡¯t want to do anything with anyone? So at the beginning when he confessed to him, Lu Yanzhou might just want to find someone to be with.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mind was in a mess.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze had thought so much. He helped Xie Chengze massage his legs and said: ¡°AZe, I¡¯ll go outside and build a coop for the chickens, call me if you want anything.¡±


    Xie Chengze responded in a low voice.


    Lu Yanzhou patted his head before going out.


    This afternoon, he found time to cut grass for the sheep, but he didn¡¯t have time to take care of the two chickens. He just left them next to the sheepfold.


    He can¡¯t just let the chickens stay there forever¡­Lu Yanzhou plans to build a chicken coop in front of the house, then build a fence to enclose the chickens.


    In the countryside, some people¡¯s chickens are free-range, but the two newcomers in his family are definitely not good. He doesn¡¯t want chicken feces to be everywhere in the house.


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s family is poor, the house was built by his parents after they got married. There are no other problems except it is a little small, but it¡¯s still sturdy.


    The private land on the entrance is allocated to Xie Chengze by the village. Xie Chengze takes good care of this land. There are garlic, green vegetables and radishes growing on it. These vegetables are surrounded by fences to prevent other people¡¯s chickens from stealing.


    In the afternoon, Lu Yanzhou asked the village chief for some bamboo. Now he chose an open space in the big fence to build a small fence, then started to build a bamboo coop too.


    People in the village basically use bamboo to build chicken coops. They just covered it with straw to keep the rain out. This is how the chicken lives. At night, after the chickens go in, they just have to close the door. In order to prevent the chicken from being caught by weasels.


    The original owner once helped someone build chicken coops, so this isn¡¯t really difficult¡­Lu Yanzhou stuck the sharpened bamboo into the soil one by one, then laid some bamboo on top as the rood. Soon a prototype of the coop was built. Unfortunately, there is not enough material so the rest will have to be done tomorrow.


    He has to go to work tomorrow¡­If there is no work point, how can he support Xie Chengze?


    Lu Yanzhou cleaned up the outside of the house before he came to the bedroom and lay down next to Xie Chengze.


    There¡¯s only one bed in Xie Chengze¡¯s house, and the two of them had only one bedding, so they could only sleep together.


    Of course, when he has money, he must find a way to sleep separately, otherwise¡­it¡¯s still okay in winter, since he can wear more pants. However, if he doesn¡¯t pay attention in summer, his lies will be exposed.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t sleep last night, so he fell asleep quickly after another busy day today. However, Xie Chengze slept for a long time last night, and even lay down for another day during the day, he couldn¡¯t fall asleep now.


    It was already dark and the oil lamps were off. He couldn¡¯t see Lu Yanzhou clearly, but he knew that Lu Yanzhou was by his side.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t dare to move, but felt strangely relieved.


    Winter is very difficult for him.


    He didn¡¯t have warm clothes or quilts. He also didn¡¯t have enough firewood. If he moved more, he would get hot, but that would make him hungry¡­The only thing he could do was endure and endure night after night to get through.


    But today, he is very warm.


    The quilt covering him was thick and soft, and there was also another person lying beside him.


    Lu Yanzhou is like a stove!


    Just as Xie Chengze was thinking like this, the stove beside him pulled him into his arms and hugged him very skillfully.


    This was the first time after his mother passed away that someone was so close to him. Xie Chengze froze and his heart started beating faster and faster.


    Lu Yanzhou is a little unused to this.


    Xie Chengze suffers from skin hunger and thirst. They are also very old, and they also sleep together every day without wearing clothes¡­Why are they wearing so many clothes today?


    He faintly realized something was wrong, but quickly fell deep asleep again.


    Xie Chengze, who was hugged by Lu Yanzhou like this, thought he wouldn¡¯t get used to it, but after a while, he fell asleep in a daze.


    The next morning he still drank porridge. Lu Yanzhou mixed brown sugar into the porridge as usual, and also gave Xie Chengze an egg.


    The educated youth and the villagers came to see Xie Chengze and gave them something again. He now has thirty-eight eggs in total.


    Now Xie Chengze has nothing else to replenish his body, so he plans to give Xie Chengze an egg every meal in the future.


    After eating for a while, it¡¯s time for the villagers to share fish and meat for the New Year.


    After eating porridge, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°AZe, I¡¯m off to work. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be back later.¡± He planned to come back somewhere in the morning to help Xie Chengze go to the toilet.


    Xie Chengze also knew what he was thinking: ¡°You don¡¯t need to come back, I can do it myself.¡± He can move his upper body and can hold the chamber pot by himself.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou responded with a smile.


    But a promise is a promise, Lu Yanzhou still came back during the morning. He also brought back the grass he cut along the way to feed the sheep.


    These two sheep have to eat a lot of grass every day. Xie Chengze used to have to go to work to raise the sheeps, he didn¡¯t know how tired he was¡­


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was fine, Lu Yanzhou hurriedly went back to work.


    There¡¯s actually not much work in the field recently. He still said something to them before he came back. However, if he stays at home for too long, other people in the village will have opinions too.


    The original owner worked neatly, but Lu Yanzhou worked even neater than him. In addition, like the original owner, he would help others whenever he had the opportunity.


    He can gain merit by helping others. No matter how small a mosquito¡¯s legs are, it¡¯s still meat. Although he won¡¯t get much merit in this way, it¡¯s better than nothing.


    He hoped that Xie Chengze would get better soon.


    Lu Yanzhou had been busy all day. Not only did he have to go to work, but he also had to find time to cut grass for the sheep and build the chicken coops, so he was extremely busy.


    In the evening, the chicken coop was finally built. Lu Yanzhou first spread thick straw inside, then put the chickens in and fed them some millet.


    Chickens don¡¯t like to lay eggs in winter, and they were still stunned when they suddenly changed places. These two chickens have never laid eggs since they came to his house, but if they are raised well, they will definitely lay eggs in the future.


    Just like Xie Chengze, his body will definitely get better.


    Lu Hongxing always felt that his fourth brother wouldn¡¯t last a few days taking care of Xie Chengze.


    There are people in the village who also feel the same way as him. Although Lu Zhiqing is a nice person, he is a young master from the city who has never suffered.


    It¡¯s fine to do farm work, but to make him serve a paralyzed person¡­even ordinary people can¡¯t bear it.


    However, they were all wrong. Lu Yanzhou persisted, and in the blink of an eye, he had been taking care of Xie Chengze for twenty days!


    Ignoring that, he also took very good care of Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was paralyzed, whether it was a big deal or a small deal, the village chief was still very concerned, so he went to see him every few days. When the village chief went, other people in the village also followed.


    Then they discovered¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s complexion improved after encountering such a thing. His face also had a little more meat.


    Ordinary paralyzed patients always have an unpleasant smell in the room, but Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t have any here.


    Thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou went to the river to wash things from time to time. Even if Xie Chengze soiled the bedding, he would wash them clean!


    Today, the village chief came to see Xie Chengze again. He was amazed as soon as he entered the house.


    This house is much cleaner than his house!


    As for Xie Chengze, he was sitting on the bed wearing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes. He didn¡¯t know whether it was because of the bright clothes, or because he had gained weight after twenty days, but he looked much better than before.


    ¡°Xiao Xie, I did the right thing letting Lu Yanzhou take care of you!¡± said the village chief.


    Xie Chengze smiled and said nothing.


    He could see how tired Lu Yanzhou was these days. This was not a good thing for Lu Yanzhou.


    At this time, the people who came with the village chief also said one after another: ¡°Xiao Xie, this could be considered falling into the blessing lair.¡±


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing is so kind to you.¡±


    ¡°I really envy you.¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou heard such words just after he came back. His face turned dark ¡ª Xie Chengze can¡¯t do anything now, what is there to envy?


    The village head also saw Lu Yanzhou at this time and said, ¡°Xiao Lu, I borrowed a water pump, and I will pump water for the pond tomorrow. Remember to come and help catch the fish.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed.


    There is a pond in their village, where some fish are raised there. At the end of each year, the village will drain the water in the pond, and some of the fish caught will be sent to the town, while some of the villagers will share the rest.


    There is no waterproof equipment these days, and it is very cold to catch fish in the winter. Many people are not willing to go, so only Lu Yanzhou and a few other poor families signed up and were willing to catch fish.


    Now that the water pump was borrowed, the village chief asked Lu Yanzhou about it.


    After speaking, the village chief was about to leave, but at this moment someone asked: ¡°Lu Zhiqing, the new year is coming up in a few days. Will you go home for New Year like before? Then what about Xie Chengze?¡±


    When this person said that, they gave Xie Chengze a sympathetic look, as if they didn¡¯t think it was such a big deal to watch the excitement.


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°I told my parents that when the time comes, I will go with Xie Chengze to have a meal with them, and then we will come back.¡±


    The original owner used to go back every year to celebrate the New Year. This year¡­Lu Yanzhou wanted to celebrate the New Year in the village at first, but later he felt that this was not good, so he called his parents. After discussing it, he decided to take Xie Chengze to have a meal, and then came back.


    Everyone praised Lu Yanzhou again.


    Xie Chengze looked up at him, his eyes were shining.

 CH 33

    Xie Chengze always thought that Lu Yanzhou would feel impatient after taking care of him for a few days.


    But no. Lu Yanzhou took good care of him every day, and even kept him¡­cleaner than before.


    He didn¡¯t keep his house so clean before, and he also didn¡¯t wipe his body every day. What about now? Lu Yanzhou wiped his face every morning, asked him to brush his teeth, and wiped his body at night¡­


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou rubbing mud off his body, he felt ashamed beyond words, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t seem to mind it at all.


    How can there be such a good person as Lu Yanzhou in this world?


    As for the New Year, he was actually also worried. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s home is in this city, it¡¯s not very close but also not very far away. It takes about four or five hours on foot if not taking a car.


    Because of this, Lu Yanzhou and Lu Hongxing would go back to celebrate the New Year every year and stay at home for a few days.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s health is much better now. In fact, even if Lu Yanzhou is gone, he can move around with his hands and survive.


    But after living with Lu Yanzhou for more than 20 days, he didn¡¯t want to be alone anymore.


    After the village chief and the others left, Xie Chengze asked Lu Yanzhou, ¡°It¡¯s not very good for me to go to your house with you, right?¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯ve already told my parents. I¡¯m worried about you being alone at home.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The New Year is approaching, and now there is no need to go to work. He was not at home before because he went to the village to make a call and tell his parents about this matter.


    Since he came to this world and became someone else¡¯s son, he should go back and have a look during the New Year. However, if Xie Chengze was left behind, that isn¡¯t good either.


    Xie Chengze celebrated the New Year alone in the past few years, so he couldn¡¯t leave him alone this year.


    Fortunately, his parents agreed.


    The original owner¡¯s image as a ¡®good person¡¯ has always been well portrayed. Although his parents thought it was a bit silly for him to take the initiative to take care of a paralyzed patient, they did not stop him.


    Xie Chengze clenched his fists. He was worried, but also happy: ¡°Is your family okay with me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°You don¡¯t live with them, so what if they don¡¯t like you?¡±


    That¡¯s true¡­ Xie Chengze is relieved.


    Lu Yanzhou continued at this moment: ¡°AZe, your health is better, so you can¡¯t always lie on the bed in the future. Lying on the bed for a long time is not good for your health. I will take you out to catch fish in the village tomorrow, okay?¡±


    If a person lies in bed for a long time, their muscles will weaken, and the person will become useless after lying for a long time.


    Xie Chengze was a little hesitant. He would definitely be surrounded by people when he went out, and he would also be a bother to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°Don¡¯t you want to watch me catch fish?¡±


    Xie Chengze replied, ¡°I want to see it.¡±


    ¡°Go if you want to see. As for the people in the village, at the beginning, they will stare at you, but as time goes on, the day will go like usual. I will always be by your side.¡± Lu Yanzhou knows that Xie Chengze surely doesn¡¯t want to be watched, but he always has to go out.


    Xie Chengze took a deep breath. Lu Yanzhou cared about him so much, he must not let Lu Yanzhou down!


    Early the next morning, the village chief turned on the pump to pump water from the pond.


    The children of the village found this interesting, so they all gathered around the pump to watch the water being pumped.


    The water pump at this time is relatively simple. When pumping water, some small fish and shrimps will also be pumped out, so there are children picking these things up.


    The big fish and shrimp can be eaten by them, while the small ones can be chopped up and fed to chickens and ducks.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how many fish we will get this year.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll be able to share the fish later. My kid has been thinking about it for a while now.¡±


    ¡°My boy also wants to eat braised food.¡±


    ¡­


    The people in the village were chatting when they saw Lu Yanzhou coming with Xie Chengze on his back. Xie Chengze¡¯s hands were functional, so he was holding a bamboo chair.


    When they came to the pond, Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to put the bamboo chair on the ground, and then put Xie Chengze on the bamboo chair.


    Some people in the village went to Xie¡¯s house to see Xie Chengze, but there were also many people who hadn¡¯t. Those who had never been to Xie¡¯s house were a little surprised to see Xie Chengze.


    The thin dark boy from Xie¡¯s family who was dressed in rags and was no different from a beggar before now with red lips and white teeth looking very cute.


    Lu Zhiqing took good care of him.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze¡¯s clothes were too tattered, so he gave Xie Chengze his own clothes to wear. As for Xie Chengze¡¯s state¡­He actually thought that Xie Chengze was still too thin. He wanted to make Xie Chengze fatter.


    After catching fish today, he can stew one to supplement Xie Chengze.


    Putting the folded towel from the original owner on Xie Chengze¡¯s lap, Lu Yanzhou saw that the river would take a while to drain, so he said, ¡°AZe, wait for me here, I¡¯ll go home and get something.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed, and watched as Lu Yanzhou left.


    ¡°Xiao Xie, you¡¯re having a good day! Tsk tsk!¡± A middle-aged woman walked towards Xie Chengze and said in a strange tone.


    Xie Chengze looked up at her.


    The middle-aged woman continued: ¡°But you are too ignorant. If you rely on Lu Zhiqing like this, aren¡¯t you causing trouble to Lu Zhiqing?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was very popular in the village, all the young girls in the village wanted to marry Lu Yanzhou.


    Although Lu Yanzhou is an educated youth, his family is in the city. There are many family members in the village. After marrying him, there will definitely be great days waiting for them.


    This point, they just need to look at Xie Chengze to know!


    Xie Chengze was just a poor little boy before, how long did Lu zhiqing take care of him? There¡¯s meat in him now.


    However, although Lu Zhiqing is a good target, now that he takes the initiative to take care of Xie Chengze, with Xie Chengze as a drag, his value will inevitably plummet.


    The middle-aged woman in front of him wanted to marry her daughter to Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t like it.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart sank when he heard her say this.


    ¡°You were hit by a pig because of your bad luck, yet Lu Zhiqing suffered as a result¡­¡± the middle-aged woman rambled.


    ¡°I¡¯m willing to take care of him, so you don¡¯t need to take care of him.¡± When Lu Yanzhou came back and heard this, his face darkened.


    He knew someone would say something unpleasant, but he didn¡¯t expect them to say this.


    Xie Chengze already had low self-esteem, now hearing this would definitely make him even more uncomfortable.


    The middle-aged woman felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Yanzhou, so she left awkwardly.


    Lu Yanzhou went back to get the sickle and the basket. He wanted to cut some grass for the sheep before he started catching fish.


    He put the things beside Xie Chengze, and said to Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense, you are not troublesome at all.¡±


    Xie Chengze blinked, his eyes were red: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    He had never called that before, but at this moment¡­¡¯Brother Yanzhou¡¯ suddenly came out naturally.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sleeve and lowered his head: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, fortunately you are still here. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would be dead now¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to hear this, so he sighed and said, ¡°AZe, don¡¯t talk like this in the future. You know I like you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s voice was very soft, but Xie Chengze heard it clearly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.


    He did feel a little uncomfortable because he caused trouble for Lu Yanzhou, but there were other reasons for why he said that just now.


    He wanted Lu Yanzhou to pity him, sympathize with him, and not leave him.


    He once refused, not wanting to drag Lu Yanzhou down, but Lu Yanzhou stayed and treated him so well.


    He is already reluctant to let go. He wants to be with Lu Yanzhou for the rest of his life.


    With the cold wind blowing, Xie Chengze was full of determination but his face was timid: ¡°I know¡­I like you too.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned. He looked at Xie Chengze in disbelief. Then he saw Xie Chengze looking at him seriously, his eyes reflecting him.


    In the last world, Xie Chengze always looked at him like this.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly realized that he had made the same mistake as in the previous world.


    Xie Chengze in the last world was mostly isolated from the world. That¡¯s why when he treated him well, he fall.


    The same is true for Xie Chengze in this world. He has no close people around him, who bears the name of restraining his parents. If he treats him better, he is tempted.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou was extremely thankful, thankful that he had said that he couldn¡¯t do it before.


    If they don¡¯t do anything and just stay together for the rest of their lives, Xie Chengze won¡¯t be angry when he recovers his memory, right?


    It would take several hours for the pond to drain, so Lu Yanzhou started cutting the grass on the riverside first.


    The riverside is a bit steep, so the adults in the village usually do not allow children to come here to cut grass. He can now cut some grass, and take back some dead branches for firewood.


    The most important thing is that at the end of the year, the two sheep will be handed in soon. Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t plan to raise any sheep next year.


    At that time, he might as well do something else that makes money.


    After Lu Yanzhou cut a basket of grass, he heard the village chief call for people to catch fish.


    Later generations had all kinds of tools for catching fish, as well as ¡®water pants¡¯ made of rubber, the kind of waterproof pants that allowed people to go into the water without getting wet.


    But at this time in Lianfeng Village, there was no such thing. Lu Yanzhou and the others could only take off their cotton trousers and go directly into the water in winter to catch fish with nets.


    All kinds of fish, big and small, were brought up. More and more people gathered on the shore.


    And those who come to see the fishes will take a few glances at Xie Chengze.


    Some of them disliked Xie Chengze, and some sympathized with Xie Chengze. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t avoid pointing at Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze ignored all of them and only stared at Lu Yanzhou seriously.


    After thinking it over, he felt that these people were not important anymore. He doesn¡¯t live with these people, he lives with Lu Yanzhou.


    The current him is indeed not worthy of Lu Yanzhou, but he can learn.


    His hands can still move. He can learn to make clothes and weave bamboo baskets, he can always find a way to make a living.


    Besides, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s liking for him must have something to do with his appearance¡­He should take good care of his face.


    At this moment, Xie Chengze was extremely thankful that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s thing couldn¡¯t stand.


    Only like this will it be possible for him and Lu Yanzhou to be together forever.


    Lu Yanzhou caught fish very fast.


    Even if his strength and memory are sealed, his learning ability is much stronger than ordinary people. Speaking of catching fish, it was a little difficult for him at the beginning, but he learned it quickly, so he can now catch it every time.


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing is really amazing!¡±


    ¡°As expected of Lu zhiqing!¡±


    ¡°What a big fish!¡±


    ¡­


    The villagers who came to catch fishes spoke up one after another. Lu Hongxing looked at this scene, he felt that something was wrong with his brother.


    His brother, who loves cleanliness so much, went down to catch fish in the pond that turned into a mud pond after the water was drained!


    This is winter, how cold it is!


    According to what he knew about his brother, his brother would give the fish distributed to him to the poor in the village¡­


    Together with the others, Lu Yanzhou caught almost all the fish in the pond all afternoon.


    That night, the villagers divided the fishes overnight. Because Lu Yanzhou went into the water to catch the fishes, he got much more than the others.


    He took the fishes home, marinated the big ones, and picked up a small one, ready to stew it to eat.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, let me light the fire.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let him work a few days ago, but now¡­he can help Lu Yanzhou!


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze to the bamboo chair behind the stove.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t sit straight, but fortunately the bamboo chair had a backrest.


    Xie Chengze grabbed a handful of straw, tied a knot and stuffed it into the stove ¨C this would slow down the pace of the straw burning: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I want to learn handcraft¡­Should I learn how to make a broom? Or make bamboo chairs?¡±


    People in their village also made these things. They asked the village chief to take it to the market in the town, and they could also exchange it for work points.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately refused: ¡°No.¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback, and then he heard Lu Yanzhou say: ¡°You have to study. You were injured before and I didn¡¯t have any books at hand, so I didn¡¯t care about it. Now¡­I will take you to my house during the New Year, and take my textbooks back, and then I will teach you how to study.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou blankly: ¡°Study? I have never studied¡­¡±


    With his family¡¯s situation, of course he has no chance to go to school, and he doesn¡¯t know how to read and write.


    Lu Yanzhou asked him to study, is this a joke?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, study after New Year¡¯s eve!¡± Lu Yanzhou answered with certainty.


    He taught Xie Chengze once in his previous life. He already has experience, so he will definitely be able to teach Xie Chengze well this time!


    Three years is not long or short. After three years he can take Xie Chengze to the college entrance examination together so that they can leave together.


    Xie Chengze was still a little confused: ¡°Why do you want me to study?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou thought for a while and said, ¡°I like people who study.¡±


    If Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t confessed to him during the day, Lu Yanzhou would definitely not have said so.


    But today, Xie Chengze confessed to him. He also still looked at him like that.


    He felt that Xie Chengze would definitely listen to him.


    Xie Chengze opened his mouth, and finally said firmly: ¡°I will study hard.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is student, so it¡¯s normal for him to like someone who can read and write. He must learn to read as soon as possible!


    He can¡¯t be worse than others!


    Lu Yanzhou can only like him!


    Infinite fighting spirit was ignited in Xie Chengze¡¯s heart.

 CH 34

    They had dinner very late that day. After eating, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the pond for a walk.¡±


    ¡°Are you going to pick up the fishes? Can I go too?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Everyone has been busy today. All the big fish in the pond have been caught, but there are still some small fish left.


    People can catch these small fishes in the river tonight. Whoever catches it gets it. People in the village call this fish picking.


    However, most adults don¡¯t like to pick them up. After a year of busy work, it¡¯s finally time to celebrate the New Year. Everyone wants to relax. They don¡¯t want to go out into the cold wind just to catch these small fishes and shrimps at night.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze on his back, and took Xie Chengze out.


    Although most of the water was pumped out during the day, there was still some water in the pond at this time. Some children rolled up their trouser legs, holding fishing nets and the like, ¡®fish picking¡¯ beside them.


    Lu Yanzhou took a stick and a wooden barrel and went down to search around. He found a lot of things in bits and pieces, including small fishes, shrimps, mussels, and a black fish like a thick arm.


    ¡°I found black fish was hiding in the mud.¡± Lu Yanzhou was in a particularly good mood when he returned home. ¡°Tomorrow I will make noodles with pickled black fish for you.¡±


    Such a big black fish is quite a reward! Slice the black fish into thin slices and cook it with pickled cabbage, the taste will definitely be very fresh. Xie Chengze will definitely like it.


    ¡°En.¡± Xie Chengze responded, already looking forward to tomorrow.


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou ate black fish noodles with Xie Chengze, and then went to the river with the villagers to pick up mud with a basket.


    There is little chemical fertilizer in this period, so the fields are short of fertilizers. The silt from the river is brought to the fields, so the crops will grow well next year.


    It¡¯s hard work, but they get points for doing it.


    After picking mud for a day, the next day the village slaughtered pigs. Another day later, it will be New Year¡¯s Eve, so Lu Yanzhou and Lu Hongxing will go back to celebrate the New Year.


    In this era, transportation is inconvenient. People basically rely on walking. When they go to the city, they mostly walk.


    Before dawn, the three of them set off.


    Lu Hongxing was a little unhappy: ¡°Why did you leave so early?¡±


    ¡°Go early so we can go back early.¡± Lu Yanzhou walked forward with Xie Chengze on his back. Xie Chengze was still carrying two undried salted fish and a piece of meat, which Lu Yanzhou is bringing to his parents.


    Lu Hongxing asked: ¡°Are you really planning to come back after a meal?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Lu Hongxing looked at his fourth brother in disbelief. In the past, his fourth brother always tried to stay at home as long as he could to be filial to his parents.


    Now his fourth brother has suddenly changed¡­What does he want to do?


    Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze out, besides not wanting to leave Xie Chengze alone at home, he also wanted Xie Chengze to see the world.


    The farthest Xie Chengze used to go is the town.


    The original owner would go back and forth several times a year, so he knew the way well. Now Lu Yanzhou can tell Xie Chengze everything.


    ¡°There are mulberry saplings planted there.¡±


    ¡°This place is called Qiao Family Wooden Bridge. There used to be a very famous bridge here.¡±


    ¡°Did you know? The New Year in the north is different from ours. They all eat dumplings.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t even know what dumplings were, so Lu Yanzhou told him how dumplings are made.


    Lu Hongxing: ¡°¡­¡± His fourth brother has never been so gentle to him!


    People in this era are used to walking. If Lu Yanzhou was alone, he would not be tired after walking for a day, but with Xie Chengze on his back, after two hours of walking, he was tired.


    Fortunately, Lu Hongxing was also tired, so he was clamoring for a rest.


    It happened that they passed a small town, so they stopped for a rest and bought a few buns to eat.


    Today is New Year¡¯s Eve, so the town is quite lively. People from nearby villages also come to the town to buy things this morning.


    Lu Yanzhou gave the steamed stuffed bun to Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze held the steamed stuffed bun and ate it in one bite, as if he was eating something delicious: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, this is the first time I have eaten steamed stuffed buns.¡±


    He had never eaten something like buns that cost money and food tickets.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart trembled. He really wanted to hug him, but in the end he just said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will bring you whatever you want to eat in the future.¡±


    Lu Hongxing who wanted to laugh at the country bumpkin Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    The road ahead doesn¡¯t seem tiring, but on the way, the more they walked, the more tired they became.


    Lu Yanzhou and the others left the village at six o¡¯clock in the morning, and they didn¡¯t arrive at Lu¡¯s house until 12 noon.


    The Lu family lived in a separate two-story building, so the housing conditions were pretty good. However, because Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two elder brothers were married and had children, there were still not enough rooms in the family, so Lu Yanzhou and Lu Hongxing lived in the same room.


    After they arrived, they ate lunch first, and then Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to sleep on his own bed for two hours before feeling refreshed.


    There are a lot of people in this family. Facing the paralyzed Xie Chengze, everyone was very curious, but no one said much.


    Xie Chengze just followed Lu Yanzhou back for a meal, they didn¡¯t need to target him.


    Lu Yanzhou took the time to find all the original owner textbooks.


    When the original owner went to school, he had good grades and also graduated from high school.


    There are very few high school students in this era, just like Lianfeng Village where they were before¡­The original owner was the only high school student in the village.


    It is precisely because of this that the original owner has a complete set of textbooks from elementary school to high school, and because the original owner cherishes them, the textbooks are still well preserved.


    Lu Yanzhou collected all the textbooks, went to his father and asked for some newspapers.


    He doesn¡¯t want to raise sheep next year, and he doesn¡¯t want to live on the subsidy given by his parents like the original owner. He wants to find a way to make money. After much deliberation, he can only write to contribute.


    ¡°Do you really want to take care of that Xie Chengze forever?¡± Father Lu frowned and looked at his son. This child didn¡¯t grow up with them when he was a child, so there always seems like a layer separating them. He didn¡¯t know what to say to him.


    ¡°Dad, he doesn¡¯t need me to take care of him. I live comfortably in his house.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Father Lu disapproved of his son taking on such a job, but his son had already taken over the job. If he asked him to throw Xie Chengze away, he would be gossiped: ¡°You are not too young, you can make your decision about this matter yourself.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze left the Lu family after dinner.


    Today was New Year¡¯s Eve, so the Lu family members advised them to stay but Lu Yanzhou did not agree.


    They shared a room with Lu Hongxing, not to mention that it was very inconvenient for Xie Chengze to go to the toilet, Lu Hongxing disgust even showed on his face.


    Moreover, tomorrow is the first day of the new year. When the Lu family is going to visit relatives, there will also be people visiting them. At that time, everyone will definitely ask about Xie Chengze.


    In the village, it is impossible for Xie Chengze not to see people, but there is no need for him to be surrounded by people in Lu¡¯s house.


    What¡¯s more¡­he wants to celebrate the New Year with Xie Chengze.


    After five o¡¯clock in the evening, it was getting dark, Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze on his back while Xie Chengze carried a lot of books on his back. He walked towards Lianfeng Village with a flashlight.


    Every household is celebrating the New Year, so there is no one on the road, which is very quiet.


    Xie Chengze lay on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s back, feeling indescribably at ease.


    When he was in the Lu family, he was a little uncomfortable. The Lu family did not welcome him.


    That was nothing, but he was still happy that Lu Yanzhou was willing to take him away.


    He also didn¡¯t want to let go of him.


    He wanted to keep Lu Yanzhou by his side forever.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, are you tired?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Not tired.¡± Lu Yanzhou answered.


    Xie Chengze is very thin. He took care of him for a month, and he only weighed about a hundred catties now, but it¡¯s still tiring to walk such a long distance with a person on his back.


    But he didn¡¯t mind it, and he even liked it.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you are so kind to me, I like you the most.¡± Xie Chengze said again.


    The former Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how to say these things, but thinking of how many times Lu Yanzhou had confessed his love before¡­he also learned to say it.


    When he said it, his heart was full, so it made him want to say it a few more times.


    He also wanted to get close to Lu Yanzhou, but he didn¡¯t know how to get close, so he could only lean his head on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s head.


    That¡¯s all, he¡¯s content.


    When the two returned home, it was almost midnight, so the village was quiet.


    Lianfeng Village does not have the habit of waiting for the new year, but has the custom of setting off firecrackers early the next morning, the sooner the better.


    So Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze fell asleep not long after and were woken up by the sound of firecrackers. Fortunately, people at this time are not rich. They just set off a few firecrackers here and there. The two looked around, then fell asleep again. It¡¯s just that Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze a little tighter.


    Lu Yanzhou also felt embarrassed about this matter, but decades of habits cannot be changed at once.


    Xie Chengze felt that this was the happiest year in his life.


    Lu Yanzhou walked such a long distance with him behind his back, just in order not to leave him behind¡­He felt that he could never remember this matter enough in his lifetime.


    Like this, Xie Chengze, who was full of sweetness, ushered in his study career on the second day.


    After waking up at the beginning of the new year, Lu Yanzhou first put Xie Chengze behind the stove for him to help light the fire, then said: ¡°AZe, this is the last time I¡¯m going to speak in dialect. I¡¯m going to speak in mandarin from now on. Hm, English will also be used in the future.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Xie Chengze was dumbfounded.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled gently: ¡°We will start studying today.¡±


    Xie Chengze in his previous life at least had the foundation of fourth grade elementary school, but Xie Chengze in this life¡­has zero foundation at all.


    He can¡¯t even speak Mandarin!


    But Lu Yanzhou is still very confident, trying to teach a great learner from the beginning.


    This is Xie Chengze! Xie Chengze is very smart, he learns things faster than ordinary people!


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze originally thought that after the new year, he and Lu Yanzhou would live happily ever after, but in the end¡­he couldn¡¯t even understand what Lu Yanzhou said!


    T/N: Lol When u thought u got a lover but u actually got a hell teacher.

 CH 35

    After the water boiled, Lu Yanzhou filled a thermos bottle, scooped out some for washing, and then added rice to the pot to cook.


    The original owner had a complete set of things, including thermos bottles and toothbrushes, but they were all the same, so these days, he and Xie Chengze use the same toothbrush to brush their teeth.


    Xie Chengze was lying on the bed before, so he didn¡¯t know much about this matter. Today, he saw Lu Yanzhou brushing his teeth with the toothbrush he had brushed and his face turned red.


    He also had a sense of reality, Lu Yanzhou really planned to live with him.


    Xie Chengze sat behind the stove, looking at Lu Yanzhou who squatted by the door to brush his teeth. The morning sun shone on Lu Yanzhou, making Lu Yanzhou look very handsome. He won¡¯t get tired of looking at him.


    Then Lu Yanzhou turned his head and said to him: ¡°The weather is good today, shall I take you outside to bask in the sun?¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°???¡± What did Lu Yanzhou say?


    Most people in the village can¡¯t speak mandarin, and they use dialects for daily communication. The dialects they speak here are quite different from mandarin¡­


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t understand Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words, so there was an impulse in his heart ¡ª he must learn mandarin, he has to understand what Lu Yanzhou said!


    At this time, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know that when he finally spoke mandarin fluently, Lu Yanzhou would start speaking English to him¡­


    Lu Yanzhou keeps his word, he won¡¯t use dialect at home from now on.


    After all, one can learn from talking. Lu Yanzhou talked for a few days¡­Xie Chengze was able to understand the general idea, and also followed Lu Yanzhou to learn first grade knowledge.


    In the previous world, Xie Chengze was not interested in studying, but in this world Xie Chengze is different. He learns things very fast and works hard, which makes Lu Yanzhou very pleased.


    Lu Yanzhou read first grade books to him several times, and wrote each word several times for him to read, so he would be able to read and write by himself.


    There was not enough pen and paper at home, so Lu Yanzhou made a sand table for him.


    Xie Chengze sat on a bamboo chair, placed a stool in front of him, and put a sand table on it, and then he took a wooden stick and practiced writing on the sand table.


    Everyone in the village lived close by, so when Xie Chengze was sitting at the door like this, someone would naturally come to take a look.


    They didn¡¯t think Xie Chengze was studying, they thought it was because Lu Yanzhou was afraid that Xie Chengze would be bored so he asked him to play with sand.


    Xie Chengze who heard other people¡¯s comments: ¡°¡­¡± He didn¡¯t play with sand!


    Adults always learn things faster than children, especially when the adult is determined to learn.


    By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in just half a month, Xie Chengze had already learned a lot of characters and even started to learn mathematics.


    There was no need to go to work these days, but Lu Yanzhou was not idle. He flipped through all the newspapers he brought back, and then wrote a few papers.


    It¡¯s not easy to submit articles in this era, and the wording in newspapers is completely different from that of later generations. Fortunately, he used to be in the system, wrote official documents, and has experience in this field. Of course, he must be careful when writing, so as not to involve politics.


    He didn¡¯t like to write this kind of writing at the time, but now he has to write.


    After the manuscript was written, Lu Yanzhou went to the town and sent it out, leaving Xie Chengze alone at home.


    ¡°Where¡¯s my brother?¡± Lu Hongxing came in carrying something, and asked with a frown.


    Xie Chengze, who was practicing writing on the sand table, said, ¡°He¡¯s gone to town. What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Mom and dad asked me to bring him something.¡± Lu Hongxing said angrily.


    Lu Hongxing lived at home for half a month and just came back today.


    This time when he went back to celebrate the New Year, Lu Yanzhou not only sent fish and meat to his family, but also didn¡¯t want money from his parents. In the past half a month, his parents told him how sensible Lu Yanzhou was every day and asked him to learn from Lu Yanzhou.


    His parents also prepared a lot of things for him to bring to Lu Yanzhou.


    Even if he ignored that, his parents also didn¡¯t give him money this time, saying that his brother didn¡¯t ask for money to support Xie Chengze, and since he was alone, he shouldn¡¯t ask his family for money.


    Father Lu and mother Lu didn¡¯t give the two of them money because they actually thought that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Hongxing were not little kids and would get married in a few years, so they planned to save some money.


    But Lu Hongxing didn¡¯t know, so he had another complaint about Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou should be back soon, do you want to wait for him?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°No need, I¡¯ll just leave the things here for him.¡± Lu Hongxing took out the things in the basket and put them aside, then gave Xie Chengze a sympathetic look before leaving.


    Xie Chengze was a little confused ¡ª why did Lu Hongxing give him a sympathetic look?


    Of course, Lu Hongxing sympathized with Xie Chengze for a reason.


    He couldn¡¯t figure out what was going on with Lu Yanzhou, so he went to his little childhood friend for advice. The two of them thought about it for a long time, and finally found a reason.


    Lu Yanzhou did this mostly for the sake of having a good reputation!


    Lu Yanzhou himself graduated from high school, and if he does some good deeds, he might be able to get a good job!


    Lu Hongxing thought about it carefully, and felt that this was the case.


    When he didn¡¯t go to the countryside before, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know how to help people at all. He was usually studying, and then went around trying to find a job.


    In fact, with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability, he could find a job, but others won¡¯t allow all the children to stay in the city, so with some means, they had to go to the countryside.


    It was also after coming here that Lu Yanzhou did good deeds everywhere. Now everyone in the village is praising Lu Yanzhou. If there is any job opportunity in the future, they will definitely recommend Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou is too treacherous!


    After figuring this out, Lu Hongxing began to pity Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze regards his brother as a good person, but his brother only regards Xie Chengze as a tool!


    When his brother finds a job, he will definitely use the excuse that he can no longer stay in the village to get rid of Xie Chengze!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what his brother was thinking.


    On the way back, he met a hunchbacked old man carrying a basket of things. Seeing that the other person couldn¡¯t carry it, he helped him carry it and sent him home.


    The old man went to the town to pick up rubbish. His basket contained the grass he cut in the town, and some small stones, rotten wood and so on.


    Small stones can be used to build houses in the future, and rotten wood can also be used to light fires.


    In the eyes of people in this day and age, almost nothing is really garbage.


    After such a delay, Lu Yanzhou came home a bit late so he was in a hurry to cook when he saw the things Lu Hongxing sent.


    There are noodles, rice cakes, dried bamboo shoots and seaweed, all of which can be eaten.


    ¡°There are noodles¡­¡± Xie Chengze swallowed when he saw the noodles.


    Lu Yanzhou made him black fish noodles before, which were very delicious, but before that, he had never eaten noodles.


    He has no chance to eat things that can only be bought with money and food tickets.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make noodles for you at noon today.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled, then took out a small piece of sesame cake wrapped in newspaper and gave it to Xie Chengze: ¡°This is the sesame cake I bought from town, you eat it first.¡±


    They give gifts or something here. This kind of sesame bread called ¡®big cake¡¯ with red bean paste inside is very popular.


    However, although the bread is only as big as a ping-pong racket, few people buy the whole bread, so stores usually cut it into eight slices and sell them one by one.


    Lu Yanzhou bought a slice for Xie Chengze and asked him to taste it.


    ¡°You eat first.¡± Xie Chengze said without thinking.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like sweets, you can eat them. Don¡¯t be reluctant to eat them and end up spoiling them.¡± Lu Yanzhou stroked Xie Chengze¡¯s hair.


    He bought Xie Chengze a bag of yunpian cake at the beginning, although he kept urging Xie Chengze to eat it, but Xie Chengze was always reluctant to eat one piece a day, so in the end mold grew on it.


    After he found out, he threw it away, which made Xie Chengze feel bad for several days.


    Xie Chengze held the big cake in his hand and didn¡¯t speak.


    This food is delicious, how could anyone not like it. Lu Yanzhou just wanted to leave it for him to eat!


    After taking a small bite, Xie Chengze began to practice writing with great energy.


    He actually wants to learn something else, but Lu Yanzhou said that he can find a good job only after he learns to read¡­


    Time flies.


    By the summer, Xie Chengze had already learned all the literature and language and mathematics knowledge in elementary school.


    At this time, there was not much knowledge in elementary school, but it was not easy to finish it in such a short time. Lu Yanzhou was very happy, so he went to the town early in the morning to buy meat, and prepared a pot of stewed meat as a celebration.


    At the beginning of the year, Lu Yanzhou sent several manuscripts to the newspaper, and one was selected for publication at that time. Later, Lu Yanzhou wrote some more one after another, and a total of three articles were published.


    The manuscript fee is not much, but he still has some money. Knowing the future situation, Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t save money like others. Basically, he spends money when he has money¡­


    Because of this, he and Xie Chengze lived a very good life.


    He would give Xie Chengze an egg every day. After a while, he would buy some meat to eat, so he finally made Xie Chengze a bit meaty.


    Xie Chengze, who stopped basking in the sun and doing farm work, has become much fairer and his skin has become finer. If doesn¡¯t look at anything else and only his face he is now the most handsome guy in the village second only to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou said he wanted to stew a pot of meat, but in fact he only bought a catty of meat. If he put more soybeans in and stewed it, the pot would still be full.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was returning home from work, was cooking while teaching Xie Chengze to recite the junior high school literature and language books. The two of them were reciting when someone came.


    ¡°Lu zhiqing!¡±


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing, thank you very much!¡±


    It was a middle-aged couple who came, holding a seven or eight-year-old child in their hands. They thanked Lu Yanzhou repeatedly when they saw Lu Yanzhou.


    Last night Lu Yanzhou went to fix the bones of old man Zhou who was injured in a fall in the next village. When he came back, he met a child who fell into the water and helped the child. It was the child¡¯s parents who came to thank him.


    In the past six months, Lu Yanzhou has been helping the people around him, accumulating merit, and even learning some medical skills from the barefoot doctor in the village under the pretext of being interested in medical skills.


    At this period, there were very few doctors, and the barefoot doctors in the village were simply trained ones. After Lu Yanzhou ¡®learned¡¯ with him for a few days, he even dared to ask Lu Yanzhou to give injections to patients!


    Because of the ¡®importance¡¯ of a barefoot doctor, Lu Yanzhou became a half-doctor in the village. Sometimes if the barefoot doctor had something to do, everyone would ask him to help take a look.


    He can also straighten the bones, which makes him even more popular.


    However, the only doctors that Lu Yanzhou can get in touch with at this stage are the barefoot doctors in the village. The doctors in the town hospital don¡¯t care about him, so he can¡¯t even meet the more knowledgeable doctors.


    Lu Yanzhou has accumulated some merit by treating people¡¯s headaches and fever.


    But even if he has been helping people, yesterday was the first time he saved a life.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome, you should take good care of your children in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    It¡¯s hot in summer, if the parents don¡¯t look at them closely, the children can¡¯t help but go down the river, which is prone to accidents.


    ¡°Yes, yes!¡± The parents thanked him again and again, then took some eggs and gave them to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t intend to accept it, but they ran away after putting it down. They ran so fast too.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Seeing this scene, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help laughing, Lu Yanzhou reluctantly put away the eggs, and said to Xie Chengze, ¡°I¡¯ll make scrambled eggs for you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze nodded with a smile.


    At this time, the villagers who had dinner gathered at the gate of the village committee compound, chatting about Lu Yanzhou while enjoying the cool air.


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing is really a good person.¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, that kid from the Zhou family, if it wasn¡¯t for him, he might have died!¡±


    ¡°I accidentally cut my leg while harvesting rice, and he sent me to the barefoot doctor.¡±


    ¡°The last time I was uncomfortable, it was he who took a look at me.¡±


    ¡°He also helped fix the roof on my house.¡±


    ¡­


    The people in the village admire Lu Yanzhou!


    Lu Yanzhou has done many good things, the most famous is he took care of Xie Chengze!


    How many people in this world are willing to take care of a person who is not their relative whose lower half of his body is paralyzed?


    Even if they take care of those people, they won¡¯t take care of people so well!


    Lu Zhiqing is a great kind person.


    While everyone was talking, the village head came from a distance with a happy expression on his face.


    ¡°Village chief!¡± The villagers greeted one after another.


    ¡°You¡¯re all enjoying the shade!¡± the village chief laughed.


    ¡°Village chief, is there a happy event?¡± Someone asked immediately when he saw the village chief like this.


    The village chief didn¡¯t hide anything: ¡°It¡¯s a happy event! I went to town today, and I was told that someone will come to interview Lu zhiqing tomorrow!¡±

 CH 36

    After chatting with the villagers, the village chief excitedly found Lu Yanzhou and told Lu Yanzhou that someone was coming to interview Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then said, ¡°Can I not accept the interview?¡±


    The original owner wanted to be famous, but he is different. He was not interested in being interviewed and letting everyone know that he had done a good deed.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you accept it? What a wonderful thing it is!¡± The village chief didn¡¯t understand, ¡°I helped you get this!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was a little helpless, he really didn¡¯t need it¡­But before he could say anything, Xie Chengze asked the village chief, ¡°What kind of interview is it? Will it be published in the newspaper?¡±


    ¡°Yes! It¡¯s an interview with a newspaper in the province!¡± the village chief said.


    Lu Yanzhou sacrificed himself for others and took the initiative to take care of Xie Chengze. This matter has been told by him as a typical example. Afterwards, the town mayor found out about it, so he also told people that there is such a person in his village. Talking about it, now there are many people who know about Lu Yanzhou.


    Reporters from the provincial newspaper came her to interview because most people told them about Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze was surprised and delighted after hearing it. Although Lu Yanzhou¡¯s article had been published in the newspapers, being interviewed is another matter!


    Most importantly, he wants others to know how good Lu Yanzhou is!


    At this moment, the village head said again: ¡°Xiao Lu, I have already promised so they will come tomorrow. You should prepare well and put on new clothes when the time comes!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou glanced at the excited Xie Chengze, nodded and agreed, ¡°Okay.¡±


    The village chief was so happy when he left, he also told all the villagers around the door: ¡°Everyone go home! Xiao Lu has to prepare for the interview, don¡¯t disturb him!¡±


    When the villagers heard this, they really didn¡¯t dare to disturb Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Hongxing rushed in.


    Lu Hongxing is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s younger brother, so the village chief didn¡¯t stop him.


    As soon as Lu Hongxing entered the room, he asked, ¡°Hey, is someone really coming to interview you tomorrow?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°You know how to pretend to be kind, in the end you deceived so many people. You just took care of a paralyzed person¡­¡± Lu Hongxing looked at Lu Yanzhou indignantly.


    In the past six months, when Lu Hongxing looked at Lu Yanzhou, he became more and more disdainful ¡ª Lu Yanzhou completely ignored him! He gave Xie Chengze all the delicious food and drink!


    In the past, Lu Yanzhou pretended to be a good person, so he only had to ask for food in public and Lu Yanzhou would definitely give it to him. When he was working, he said he couldn¡¯t do it and asked Lu Yanzhou, and Lu Yanzhou would help.


    At that time, he was happy to see Lu Yanzhou slumped, but in the past six months, Lu Yanzhou always ignored him.


    Seeing that all the delicious food Lu Yanzhou bought fell into Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth, and he stopped working for him¡­Lu Hongxing was annoyed.


    When Lu Yanzhou heard that this person called Xie Chengze a ¡®paralyzed person¡¯, his expression changed. He interrupted him: ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t I take a look? Are you stewing meat? Give me a bowl!¡± Lu Hongxing said.


    ¡°You have to buy it yourself.¡± Lu Yanzhou bought a catty of meat in total. He didn¡¯t want to share it with this person who always made trouble for him.


    At first, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t dislike the original owner¡¯s younger brother, he just wanted to stay away, but in the past six months, Lu Hongxing wanted him to do this and that as if it¡¯s a matter of fact, which made him dislike him.


    Although the original owner used to compete with his younger brother in front of his parents, he never did anything to hurt his younger brother. Especially since the original owner has always pretended to be a good person. Although he also had plans to use his ignorant younger brother to set off his plan, for the sake of his image, he has always take good care of his younger brother.


    For example, rushing to do housework at home, giving up delicious food to his younger brother in front of others¡­Generally speaking, Lu Hongxing took advantage of him.


    No matter what, the original owner did not owe his younger brother anything. It was Lu Hongxing who secretly took a lot of things that father Lu and mother Lu gave him. This is what the educated youth people told him later ¡ª father Lu and mother Lu asked someone to bring them something to share equally but Lu Hongxing has taken most of it himself.


    ¡°You are my brother, you won¡¯t even give me a piece of meat?¡± Lu Hongxing was annoyed. He has money and he can also buy meat, but to make him walk to town early in the morning, line up and then walk back, he doesn¡¯t want to.


    Even if he did buy it, he doesn¡¯t know how to cook it. The stewed meat wouldn¡¯t taste as good as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s stewed one.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have much in total.¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s refusal was obvious. If this person speaks well, he will give some, but Lu Hongxing¡¯s action is not right when he comes in. He is not so cheap.


    ¡°You just don¡¯t want me to eat it, right? You want to give it to this paralyzed man rather than to your younger brother¡­I will tell mom and dad!¡± Lu Hongxing said angrily, then he glared at Xie Chengze and ran away.


    Xie Chengze immediately made a pitiful face, looking at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, does your brother hate me?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind him.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze only has one pot. He can¡¯t cook rice since he uses it to stew soybeans, so the rice was steamed.


    He took out a bowl of steamed rice, scoop a tablespoon of soybeans into it and added a piece of pork, then put it in front of Xie Chengze for him to eat.


    Xie Chengze ate it in small mouthfuls: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you cook it so deliciously!¡±


    Eat more if it tastes good.¡± Lu Yanzhou added some soybeans to him.


    The two ate until their bellies were rounded before going to sleep.


    After it got hot, Lu Yanzhou looked for some materials and made another bed.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to sleep separately from him but Lu Yanzhou said that it¡¯s better to sleep like this, so Xie Chengze didn¡¯t object.


    It¡¯s summer now, two people sleeping together really doesn¡¯t feel nice.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, what should I say in the interview tomorrow?¡± Xie Chengze is very worried. He¡¯s afraid that he won¡¯t be able to handle the interview tomorrow, so he kept tossing and turning and couldn¡¯t sleep.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this tomorrow¡­come, follow me to study politics.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said, then began to lead Xie Chengze to recite politics literature.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Why is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s memory so good? He can remember all of them!


    Anyway¡­Xie Chengze, who had to memorize politics literature for an hour, soon fell asleep.


    Lu Yanzhou found that compared with liberal arts, Xie Chengze prefers science¡­In the future, he can focus on teaching him science.


    He¡¯s fine with that. As for political literature, it¡¯s good to memorize it more.


    The first college entrance exam, except for the foreign language department, no foreign language test is required. However, at the time when people went to college, if they want to learn something new, it¡¯s necessary for them to contact foreign literature. He should learn a little English too¡­


    Thinking about how to teach Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou also slowly fell asleep.


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have to go to work, so he just stay at home and waited for the reporter to come to his door.


    The reporter came at noon. There are two people, on one of the two people¡¯s necks is a camera.


    The two asked Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze many questions, they also interviewed people in the village.


    Of course, the villagers kept saying good things about Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Lu zhiqing always helps us!¡±


    ¡°My son fell into the water before, it was Lu h Qing who saved him.¡±


    ¡°My child suddenly had a fever before, fortunately, Lu zhiqing was here.¡±


    ¡°I am old, Lu zhiqing always helped me carry water.¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone has a lot to say regarding Lu zhiqing and Xie Chengze: ¡°That child from the Xie family has never studied before, but after Lu zhiqing lived with him, he taught him to read and write!¡±


    ¡°Lu zhiqing himself is reluctant to eat eggs but he gave him all the egg to eat.¡±


    ¡°Lu zhiqing gave him all the new clothes.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Comrade Lu, you are a man of noble character! We will definitely publish your deeds so that everyone can learn from you!¡± The two reporters said to Lu Yanzhou solemnly as they left.


    Faced with this situation, Lu Yanzhou was a little embarrassed: ¡°I actually didn¡¯t do anything, I just served the people.¡±


    ¡°We all want to serve the people!¡± The two reporters were even more excited!


    A reporter came to the village, this is a big deal! In the days that followed, people in the village talked about it, and some people also came to Xie Chengze to inquire about it.


    After all, other people only spoke a few words to the reporter at that time, but Xie Chengze was different. The reporter talked to him a lot, and even ate a meal cooked by Lu Yanzhou at his house.


    Xie Chengze was also willing to talk about this, no matter who came, he was quite excited when he said it.


    This interview was a big deal for him.


    And at this time, the Provincial Daily, which published Lu Yanzhou¡¯s interview, was printed.


    The interview with Lu Yanzhou is on the third page with a photo of Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou on it.


    When Lu Hongxing saw it, he felt indescribably aggrieved.


    But something even more aggrieved happened to him.


    After the newspaper came out, the village rewarded Lu Yanzhou with a thermos bottle. That was fine, but the village also planned to give Lu Yanzhou a job too.


    There is a silk factory in their village, Lu Yanzhou can go to work in the silk factory.


    In the evening, Lu Yanzhou went out to wash clothes, Xie Chengze was reading junior high school math textbooks when Lu Hongxing came to the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Xie Chengze frowned. He didn¡¯t like Lu Hongxing, so he didn¡¯t give Lu Hongxing a good face.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Hongxing immediately exploded: ¡°What? You don¡¯t welcome me? Hmph, don¡¯t be complacent. When my brother goes to work, he will definitely leave you alone!¡±

 CH 37

    The so-called ¡®township¡¯ should actually be called a people¡¯s commune, which is at the same level as a town.


    The highland commune where their village is located is a relatively wealthy commune. There are more than 10,000 people. Because the local villages also raise silkworms, the commune also has its own silk factory.


    As for Lianfeng Village, which is located on the edge of the commune, it is quite far away from the commune. It takes at least half an hour to walk.


    There are people who work in the silk factory from their village, but they usually live in the silk factory and don¡¯t go home.


    Lu Yanzhou is working in the village now. Whether it¡¯s morning or afternoon, he can go home and have a look when everyone drinks tea and takes a break. He can also go home for lunch at noon, but if he goes to work in the silk factory, he can only come back at night. How could it be possible for him to still take care of Xie Chengze like before?


    Of course, Lu Hongxing said this mainly because he felt that after Lu Yanzhou got a job, he would definitely kick Xie Chengze away.


    He doesn¡¯t believe that Lu Yanzhou would take care of Xie Chengze forever!


    Xie Chengze has this self-confidence: ¡°Brother Yanzhou will not leave me alone!¡±


    He believed that Lu Yanzhou was sincere to him. If Lu Yanzhou wasn¡¯t sincere to him, why did he spend so much time on him?


    Lu Yanzhou would give anything delicious at home to him.


    ¡°You really treat him as a good person!¡± Lu Hongxing said, ¡°He is a deep-minded person, he is the best at putting on airs! He was only with you to have a good reputation!¡±


    ¡°You are the deep-minded one. He is a good man. He¡¯s 10,000 times better than you! You should know, right? No one in the village likes you!¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Hongxing contemptuously.


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Lu Hongxing exploded.


    ¡°I said that everyone doesn¡¯t like you,¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°You don¡¯t know anything and you still like to be lazy. Everyone in the village dislikes you, don¡¯t you know?¡±


    It was the first time Lu Hongxing was scolded face to face, and the one who scolded him was still someone he disliked. He was furious: ¡°You cripple¡­¡±


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± After Lu Yanzhou finished washing clothes, he came back, then he saw Lu Hongxing pointing at Xie Chengze and yelling at him. His face turned dark.


    Xie Chengze had actually seen Lu Yanzhou come back a while ago, that¡¯s why he intentionally provoked Lu Hongxing. With red eyes, he looked at him: ¡°Brother Yanzhou¡­¡±


    ¡°He scolded me!¡± Lu Hongxing pointed at Xie Chengze and said.


    Xie Chengze lowered his head: ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡±


    With Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance like this, it can be seen that he has been wronged! Lu Yanzhou looked at Lu Hongxing: ¡°Lu Hongxing, you are not welcome here, get out!¡±


    ¡°It was really he who scolded me first!¡± Lu Hongxing looked at Xie Chengze angrily, and then froze ¡ª Xie Chengze looked so pitiful now.


    Lu Hongxing was a little confused, and then he saw Lu Yanzhou standing in front of Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe has always been timid, how could he scold you!¡±


    At this moment, Lu Hongxing suddenly understand it!


    His brother loves to pretend, and so is Xie Chengze!


    These two people are tortoises staring at green beans1Used to describe two people(who were not so familiar with each other) that have special feelings for each other; two ugly people who find each other attractive, just look at it!


    Lu Yanzhou drove Lu Hongxing away, and then looked at Xie Chengze worriedly: ¡°AZe, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xie Chengze whispered.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s okay¡­Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°What did he say?¡± If Lu Hongxing talked nonsense, he would definitely beat him up.


    Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes: ¡°He said you will leave me alone when you go to work in the silk factory.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his nonsense! I won¡¯t leave you alone, and I won¡¯t go to work in the silk factory.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze was stunned: ¡°Why?¡± If he goes to work in the silk factory, he will become a worker! Why doesn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou go work in the silk factory?


    People who have never done farm work do not know how hard and tiring farm work is, but Xie Chengze has done farm work.


    Besides being exposed to the sun and rain, it is not uncommon for leeches to get under their skin when planting rice seedlings in the water.


    If he becomes a worker, his leg will be pulled out of the mud, and he can go to work that is cleaner! And a good salary!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to leave Lu Yanzhou, but he wanted Lu Yanzhou to go to work.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I don¡¯t want to go.¡±


    Going to work is definitely easier than doing farm work, but if he goes to work, what will Xie Chengze do?


    Take Xie Chengze with him? Xie Chengze definitely couldn¡¯t study hard in the silk factory, and the two of them would spend a lot of money eating and drinking there.


    Let Xie Chengze stay at home and he goes to work? The two places are quite far away, he has to stay there for a whole day too¡­Xie Chengze, is he going to lie in bed all day and not move? One must know that he usually carries Xie Chengze to move him.


    After much deliberation, Lu Yanzhou finally decided to give up this job.


    Right now they have enough food to eat. The family has chickens, and he can earn money to buy meat after writing manuscripts¡­It¡¯s also very good now.


    Moreover, when doing farm work, there are times when the farming is busy and there are also times when it is relatively free, so there is a lot of freedom.


    Xie Chengze fell silent when he heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words.


    Who doesn¡¯t want to work? He remembered that when Lu Yanzhou first came to the village, when the silk factory was recruiting workers, Lu Yanzhou went with others, but unfortunately he was not selected.


    Now that Lu Yanzhou is not going, it must be because of him.


    He became a burden to Lu Yanzhou.


    He can¡¯t do anything for Lu Yanzhou, instead he wants Lu Yanzhou to do this and that for him.


    But he still selfishly didn¡¯t want to let Lu Yanzhou go.


    Lu Yanzhou put away the washed clothes and started teaching Xie Chengze to read again.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I¡¯d better learn something else.¡± Even if he studies, he won¡¯t be able to find a job and couldn¡¯t help Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°No, you have to study,¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed, ¡°Go to university in the future.¡±


    Xie Chengze was at a loss: ¡°What is a university?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say much: ¡°University is the biggest school. After going to university, you can learn a lot of knowledge¡­By the way, AZe, do you have anything you want to do?¡±


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I want to be a doctor in the future.¡±


    Almost without hesitation, Xie Chengze decided what he wanted to do ¡ª he also wanted to go to university and become a doctor.


    After dark, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let Xie Chengze read anymore, lest Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes have problems.


    But he will teach Xie Chengze to recite from memories, politics, and language literature.


    He has a very good memory, he had memorized it after reading it during the day. He can teach Xie Chengze at night, and he can also tell Xie Chengze about party history and national affairs.


    While talking, he also gave Xie Chengze a bath.


    People from Lianfeng Village will go to the river to take a bath in the summer. Even the women also carelessly sit by the river to wash. However, both Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze washed at home. Lu Yanzhou simply built a bamboo hut by the side of the house as the bathroom, then used the warm water in the big tank a the door of the house to wash their body.


    Giving Xie Chengze a bath is a sweet burden for Lu Yanzhou. Fortunately, he can recite political literature!


    Carrying him on his back, Lu Yanzhou felt that his whole body had been purified. Not only can he achieve asceticism now, he can recite political literature in any state.


    He¡¯s being tested!


    People who passed by Xie¡¯s house: ¡°As expected of Lu Zhiqing!¡± They also knew a few passages, but Lu Zhiqing had memorized too much even while washing!


    After washing Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou took a bath by himself, and solved his physical problems by the way.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, it¡¯s not too hot today, you can sleep with me.¡± After going to bed, Xie Chengze invited him again.


    He didn¡¯t have a mosquito net before, but Lu Yanzhou had one, and this mosquito net is now on his bed, which means¡­Lu Yanzhou is exposed to mosquitoes at night!


    When Lu Yanzhou bathed him just now, he saw many small red spots on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms, those are mosquitoes bite.


    ¡°I¡¯m hot and afraid of heat,¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled, ¡°I can¡¯t wait to move the bed outside to sleep.¡±


    ¡°Why are you so afraid of the heat¡­¡± Xie Chengze sighed.


    It is true that some people in their village moved their beds outside to sleep, but he really wanted to share a bed with Lu Yanzhou.


    He also wanted to hug Lu Yanzhou¡­but Lu Yanzhou had never done this to him before, so it would seem too strange if he suddenly did this to Lu Yanzhou.


    No one else in their village does this either.


    ¡°It¡¯s a physical issue¡­AZe, let¡¯s continue to recite.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou also wanted to talk to Xie Chengze more, instead of teaching Xie Chengze to read all day long.


    But Xie Chengze¡¯s heart and eyes are all on him, he can¡¯t help but want to get close to Xie Chengze if he talks more.


    Even if they don¡¯t talk¡­When he came home yesterday, seeing Xie Chengze mending his clothes, he wanted to kiss him.


    This is a consequence from the previous life, in which Xie Chengze always pestered him to make out.


    Back to back, he guessed it¡¯s about time they went to sleep.


    When he got up the next day, Lu Yanzhou cooked the porridge first, and then went to fetch water. He filled the small water tank for drinking water at home and the large water tank at the door one after another, then watered the eggplant and cowpea in their private land.


    After watering, he fed the chickens.


    Free-range chickens would eat anything. Lu Yanzhou threw a handful of millet and some vegetable leaves in for the chickens to peck at. Usually when he works in the fields, he also collects earthworms and so on ¡ª things that the chicken can eat.


    When he finished his work, the porridge was ready. Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze out, and the two drank the porridge together.


    Recently, there was less work in the field, so everyone went to work late. There¡¯s also not much work even when they go, so Lu Yanzhou started teaching Xie Chengze about chemistry again.


    In fact, knowledge like chemistry and physics should be taught with related experiments, but they don¡¯t have anything on hand, so they can only rely on him to explain it. Fortunately, they don¡¯t have the condition, and neither do others.


    Another two months passed with this busy work.


    When Lu Yanzhou first transmigrated here, the original owner had been in the countryside for two years and gained a good reputation. He has done better than the original owner in the past half a year since he transmigrated. Two months ago, he even rejected the job in the silk factory¡­


    In the eyes of the villagers, he has become a man of noble character.


    So, the village chief approached Lu Yanzhou again, saying that the commune wanted to recommend him to be a worker, peasant, and soldier student.


    Of course, the commune is only responsible for recommending, and the success depends on the leaders, but generally speaking, Lu Yanzhou has no problem.


    The fact that he helped Xie Chengze was widely praised and even appeared in newspapers. He himself is a high school student and has published articles in newspapers. His parents also have some connection¡­


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Uncle, this opportunity should be given to others.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t want it?¡± The village chief was stunned.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°If I leave, who will take care of AZe?¡±


    ¡°That kid from the Xie family is much better now, and he can do many things by himself. We just need to find someone to help him¡­Don¡¯t you like studying? Why don¡¯t you study?¡± The village chief couldn¡¯t understand what Lu Yanzhou was thinking.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I think the village is pretty good.¡±


    How is the village good? Who in the village doesn¡¯t want to jump out and get a house in the city?


    Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou too stupid?


    Even Lu Hongxing, who came to find Lu Yanzhou after receiving the news, was stunned when he heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words.


    Before Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to work in a silk factory, he found it incredible, but going to university¡­Isn¡¯t this what Lu Yanzhou has been thinking about? He doesn¡¯t even want it?


    Could it be that Lu Yanzhou is really a good person, he misunderstood Lu Yanzhou before?

 CH 38

    Lu Yanzhou is not very noble, but he has to take Xie Chengze with him, so of course it is impossible for him to leave the village alone.


    Otherwise, Xie Chengze might have been wronged somewhere he couldn¡¯t see.


    Lu Yanzhou rejected the village chief. After thinking about it, he planned to tell Xie Chengze about it when he went back.


    After he rejected the silk factory job last time, he didn¡¯t tell Xie Chengze. As a result, Lu Hongxing ran to talk nonsense to Xie Chengze, which made Xie Chengze sad.


    There are no secrets in the village. Although Xie Chengze is at home all day, there are always people rushing to the door. He doesn¡¯t want Xie Chengze to keep out of contact with others at all, so Xie Chengze will know about it sooner or later, then it¡¯s better for him to say it first.


    When Lu Yanzhou went back at noon, he saw Xie Chengze sitting behind the stove cooking.


    ¡°How did you get there?¡± Lu Yanzhou was a little surprised. Before he went out, he asked Xie Chengze to sit at the door.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I can move a little bit!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou let him sit on a low bamboo chair, then use the eight immortal table long stool as a desk for him to write on.


    He couldn¡¯t move his legs, so he moved the stool first. Then he put his hand on the stool and slowly dragged the bamboo chair over¡­he can move like this in the room.


    In fact, he had this thought long ago, but Lu Yanzhou assigned him too much homework before, so he didn¡¯t have time to practice.


    Today, he finished learning what Lu Yanzhou arranged early. It happened that Lu Yanzhou had already put the water and rice in the pot to soak in the morning in order to cook faster at noon, so he moved to the stove to cook.


    ¡°AZe is really good,¡± Lu Yanzhou praised, ¡°Then I will trouble you when I cook.¡±


    It¡¯s like exercising, so it¡¯s good.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Although Xie Chengze said that, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but raise because he was praised by Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze was used to cooking, so the cooking was just right. Lu Yanzhou put the rice on a low stool, then moved a small stool to eat with him.


    While eating, Lu Yanzhou talked about the worker,peasant, and soldier students: ¡°I want to study medicine. Now that I¡¯m recommended, I may not be able to study medicine, so it¡¯s better not to go.¡±


    Xie Chengze only felt that the bowl in his hand was heavy: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, if you have such an opportunity, you shouldn¡¯t give up. I can take care of myself.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Even if you can take care of yourself, I can¡¯t bear it. I¡¯ll become worried if you¡¯re not around me.¡±


    Xie Chengze always felt that he was a burden. In order to make Xie Chengze feel at ease, Lu Yanzhou could only emphasize how much he liked him and could not do without him.


    Well, so is he.


    After hiding for more than half a year, Xie Chengze, who had already turned white, blushed instantly.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°I can¡¯t leave you for a day, so don¡¯t even think about separating from me.¡±


    Xie Chengze was extremely moved. Since he was a child, no one has ever valued him so much.


    However, before he could finish being moved, he heard Lu Yanzhou say: ¡°By the way, you¡¯ve been learning things very quickly recently, so I¡¯ll give you more homework this afternoon.¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he had already taken his textbook and began to prepare what Xie Chengze was going to learn next ¡ª the way Xie Chengze looked at him made his heart flutter, so he naturally wanted to find something to calm down.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± What is going on with Lu Yanzhou? As soon as he finished sweet talking to him, he wanted him to study.


    But if Lu Yanzhou wants him to study, he will study.


    So this afternoon, Xie Chengze sat at the door again, reading junior high school textbooks while the wind was blowing.


    In the past, people in the village avoided Xie Chengze, so the children in the village naturally never came to Xie Chengze¡¯s side. However, ever since Lu Yanzhou moved in, the children in the village have often come here.


    Lu Yanzhou is very popular, and all the children in the village like him.


    Another child came today. The elder brother of the child who was saved from the river by Lu Yanzhou before also brought a few friends. They came over with half a basket of snails: ¡°brother Xie, this is what Lu zhiqing wanted, so I sent it over!¡±


    ¡°He bought it from you?¡± Xie Chengze was a little surprised. There was no meat in the snail, so he thought it was not worth buying it.


    ¡°No, he exchanged things.¡± Several children took out several carved wooden swords.


    A few days ago, while reading a book, Lu Yanzhou made a few toys. He ended up exchanging them for snails with these children?


    ¡°Lu Zhiqing is really good. He can do everything,¡± the leading child was full of admiration, ¡°it also doesn¡¯t hurt that much when he gives us injections!¡±


    Another child said: ¡°It still hurts, I don¡¯t want to get an injection.¡±


    Another person said: ¡°My younger brother was given two injections by Lu Zhiqing and now he hides when he sees him.¡±


    Several people chatted, then looked at Xie Chengze sympathetically: ¡°Brother Xie, you are quite pitiful. Although Lu Zhiqing is a nice person, it is not good to make people study¡­You are so old but he still forces you to read.¡±


    There is an elementary school in their village, and the teacher who teaches there is a local, nicknamed Baldy.


    These students didn¡¯t have much respect for this teacher, so they threw mud at him and didn¡¯t study well.


    As a result, Lu Zhiqing kept saying that studying is good, so the village chief became more attentive. He suddenly started to control them and not allow them to make trouble in class.


    Of course, although they don¡¯t want to study and don¡¯t like to study, they know that Lu Zhiqing is really saying it for their own good, otherwise why would they do such a thankless thing?


    And Lu zhiqing himself studies there every day¡­


    But the most pitiful one was Xie Chengze. They see Xie Chengze studying as long as they pass by Xie¡¯s house during the day.


    Thinking of this, these children looked at the book Xie Chengze was reading: ¡°It¡¯s so difficult!¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, you really don¡¯t have it easy.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, can you understand it? I don¡¯t understand it!¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze was helpless: ¡°I can understand¡­¡±


    These children finally left full of sympathy for Xie Chengze.


    Because Xie Chengze was already able to move his body, Lu Yanzhou put water in the pot in advance at noon, while putting the leftover rice and vegetables on the steaming rack.


    Then Xie Chengze boiled the water before Lu Yanzhou returned home.


    It was the busy farming season recently, so Lu Yanzhou came back a bit late. However, when he came back, he had a hot meal ready. He was in a good mood, and praised Xie Chengze again and again. Then, after filling two pots of hot water, he fetched the rest of the water to soak Xie Chengze¡¯s feet, then said, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a bath.¡±


    ¡°Take a pot of hot water with you.¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s good to wash the body with cold water.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. It¡¯s not very cold right now, he can just use cold water.


    He¡¯s so healthy that he has no problem swimming in the winter too.


    After taking a bath, Lu Yanzhou lit an oil lamp. He didn¡¯t let Xie Chengze read anymore. He just chatted with Xie Chengze and recited the book, and by the way¡­picked snail meat.


    He boiled the snails for a while, and then picked out the meat inside with a bamboo stick.


    ¡°Why did you think of eating this?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Add protein.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled. The snails are delicious when boiled directly with aniseed ingredients, but because of the lack of seasoning, he simply picks out the meat and only uses this meat to stir-fry.


    The taste is not necessarily good, but it is protein anyway.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°What is protein?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou started to explain it to him.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou adoringly. Lu Yanzhou really knows a lot of things. He even had a feeling that Lu Yanzhou was out of place in this village.


    Such Lu Yanzhou actually fell in love with him!


    When going to bed at night, Xie Chengze still felt sweet in his heart, but seeing Lu Yanzhou still not sharing the bed with him, he couldn¡¯t help feeling depressed.


    Today is not so hot, why is Lu Yanzhou still unwilling to sleep with him?


    Maybe he doesn¡¯t want to see his disabled physical condition?


    Xie Chengze had already discovered that Lu Yanzhou was evasive because he didn¡¯t want him to see his place where he couldn¡¯t get up.


    He said he didn¡¯t dislike it, after all his situation was worse than Lu Yanzhou¡¯s, but Lu Yanzhou still didn¡¯t want him to see it¡­


    Lu Yanzhou is like this, Lu Yanzhou may be uncomfortable, he¡¯d better avoid it in the future.


    As soon as his mind turned to these things, Lu Yanzhou suddenly asked: ¡°AZe, what comes after sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus?¡±


    Xie Chengze immediately regained his thoughts.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t intend to become a worker, peasant, and soldier student, so he didn¡¯t take it seriously, but the others were different.


    A few days later, father Lu even made a special trip to talk to him.


    Back then, the job in the silk factory was in the commune. Even if Lu Yanzhou did it, he would still stay in the countryside. In father Lu¡¯s opinion, it doesn¡¯t make much difference whether he does it or not.


    However, if Lu Yanzhou can go to university, he will be able to stay in the city after graduation!


    Father Lu wanted Lu Yanzhou to go. He doesn¡¯t understand why Lu Yanzhou insisted on not going.


    Lu Yanzhou could only say: ¡°This is a very good opportunity, I think it should be reserved for those who need it more.¡±


    Father Lu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Father Lu didn¡¯t like this fourth son very much. Part of the reason was that this fourth son pretended to be a good guy all day long, which seemed a bit pretentious.


    As an adult, also a policeman, how could he not see the plan in this child¡¯s belly?


    He felt that this child was playing tricks on his family members and was not very pleasing to him.


    Even if this child was so kind to Xie Chengze before, father Lu only thought that he wanted to use this to return to the city.


    But now his fourth son is like this¡­Father Lu is at a loss.


    Could it be that he misunderstood this child before?


    This kid is really nice, he didn¡¯t pretend?


    Since Lu Yanzhou refused to go, father Lu could only go back angrily.


    Then¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reputation got even better. Some people even came to Lianfeng Village to take a look at the Lu zhiqing who likes to do good deeds.


    After all, these days, the authorities have been telling everyone to do good deeds. Once before, the village chief went to the commune for a meeting. He heard that there was a village outside who did good deeds. When the busy farming season came, everyone stayed up in the middle of the night to help people in other villages harvest rice¡­


    Upon learning of this, the village chief organized the villagers to help the next village harvest rice at night, but when he went there with a sickle, he saw someone walking towards their village with a sickle¡­


    Although it was a bit embarrassing, both of their villages were praised in the end, and the village chief was very happy.


    Under such a story, Lu Yanzhou naturally attracted extra attention. He was commended once again in the commune.


    This also allowed Lu Yanzhou to get a job that suits him.


    The barefoot doctor in Lianfeng Village is a man. He has many brothers in his family who are not well-groomed, so he has never married a wife. As a result, he recently found a good marriage and went to a family in the town to be their son-in-law.


    People in the village dream of marrying people in the town. There used to be a beautiful girl in Lianfeng Village who married a worker couple¡¯s foolish son in order to get a registered permanent residence in the city.


    After the barefoot doctor gets married, if anything is wrong with a woman, they will send her to the hospital in town because there is no doctor in Lianfeng Village.


    There is a hospital in town, there¡¯s also one in the commune. The commune and the town are alike, the hospital in the commune is not smaller than the one in the town. Whenever a kid broke their leg or something, they basically sent them to the commune hospital or the town hospital.


    However, only big injured will go to town. If it¡¯s only a small problem, everyone in the village will look for the barefoot doctor in their own village.


    These minor injuries include but are not limited to colds, fever, and injury to hands.


    Now that the barefoot doctor in Lianfeng Village has gone to town, the commune hospital should have arranged for a doctor to come over. However, Lu Yanzhou has a reputation that he also knows a little bit about medicine.


    The commune directly made Lu Yanzhou take over.


    It happened too sudden. According to Lu Yanzhou, choosing a doctor is not a joke. However, in this era, rural medical conditions are really bad. In fact, the original barefoot doctor¡¯s skills are not as good as his¡­


    Anyway, Lu Yanzhou became the barefoot doctor in Lianfeng Village for now. He will have to wait until the next time there is a relevant test for him to take to officially become a barefoot doctor. Lu Yanzhou was very satisfied with this job because he can also take Xie Chengze ¡ª the barefoot doctors in the village work in the village committee compound, so he could carry Xie Chengze on his back there.


    In his previous life, Lu Yanzhou went abroad with Xie Chengze to some countries with very poor conditions to help people there. He also went for a medical degree and could treat the people there. In fact, he is very good at treating all kinds of minor sickness. The only problem now is that there¡¯s a lack of medicine now.


    The people in the village also lack nutrition¡­For example, some half-grown children can¡¯t stand knee pain. They are not sick at all, they just lack calcium and nutrition.


    In addition, some people in the village may get sick but they don¡¯t know they were sick at all.


    In this regard, Lu Yanzhou can only try his best to do what he can do.


    He tried his best to treat the villagers¡¯ illnesses, and occasionally when he was free, he brought the children who love to read from the ¡®elementary school¡¯ next door to him and teach them.


    Sometimes without him saying anything, Xie Chengze will also teach them, so he takes time to help the village with other things, such as building biogas digesters.


    Lu Yanzhou saw in the newspaper that biogas digesters were being promoted in some places, so he told the village chief to arrange for people to learn and build a few in the village, which could bring some benefits to the village.


    As time went by, he became more and more popular in the village. Some people from afar even came to him for treatment.


    In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.


    Lu Yanzhou would massage Xie Chengze every day, so Xie Chengze¡¯s legs were in good condition.


    Not only that, Lu Yanzhou also found a way to buy an old bicycle, and after taking it apart, he made a wheelchair for Xie Chengze.


    Of course, this wheelchair is not as easy to use as the wheelchairs in the later generations, but it is not bad. Sitting on it, Xie Chengze can also go for a stroll around the village.


    When Xie Chengze didn¡¯t use this wheelchair, many children in the village also came begging to borrow it to play.


    Early in the morning, Lu Yanzhou pushed Xie Chengze to the village committee compound. He carried Xie Chengze off the wheelchair, and let him read a book beside him, then someone came to borrow the wheelchair.


    The wheelchair was borrowed by a 14-year-old boy in the village. He accidentally broke his leg some time ago and had a plaster cast on his leg. He wanted to go out and play, so he asked his brother to borrow it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t break it.¡± Lu Yanzhou exhorted before letting them leave with it, then he looked at Xie Chengze: ¡°What I taught you yesterday, recited it for me.¡±


    Xie Chengze was used to being tested by Lu Yanzhou all the time, so he immediately recited it. As for Lu Yanzhou, he took advantage of this time to ask Xie Chengze a few questions.


    Being a barefoot doctor is really much better than doing farm work. There are few patients in the village, so he has a lot of free time so he can ask Xie Chengze a lot of questions every day.


    He just came up with a good topic and was about to ask Xie Chengze about it, when suddenly someone rushed in from outside the door: ¡°Brother Lu! Brother Lu! The college entrance examination is about to resume!¡±


    The one who came in was the young educated youth Liu Tongming who admired Lu Yanzhou very much.


    After three years of farm work, Liu Tongming is much darker and stronger now. He rushed in excitedly, then burst into tears after speaking.


    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing¡­Do you want some review materials?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked him.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Liu Tongming replied immediately.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°Go and ask the others to see if there is anyone else who wants it too¡­then come to my house tonight to get it.¡±


    The resumption of the college entrance examination is a big event, but judging from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s understanding of the educated youth in the village, most of them will not take part.


    The main reason is that the quality of teaching during this period is not very good. The educational level of the educated youth is also average, and there are even fewer who love to learn.


    For example, Lu Hongxing graduated from middle school, and his grades in school were not good. It is absolutely useless for him to take the college entrance examination. In contrast, it is better for him to find a job in the city.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Liu Tongming is one of the few who loves to learn, but it¡¯s a pity that Lu Yanzhou asked him to learn from him before but he didn¡¯t listen. He felt too tired and had no time.


    At this moment, Liu Tongming really regretted it but he was also happy because Lu Yanzhou was willing to let him borrow his materials.


    Calming down, Liu Tongming asked, ¡°Brother Lu, are you going to take the college entrance examination?¡±


    Liu Tongming felt that Lu Yanzhou would not go. In the past three years, Lu Yanzhou had many opportunities to leave the village, but he gave up all of them and stayed in the village.


    However, Liu Tongming was wrong.


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°I¡¯ll go, and Xie Chengze will go too.¡±


    Liu Tongming was stunned, Lu Yanzhou will go?! Wait! Xie Chengze is going too?


    Xie Chengze can¡¯t even move his legs, can he go to college?

 CH 39

    In this day and age, it is very difficult for people with disabilities to go to university. Even if they registered to university, they may be rejected.


    Lu Yanzhou is very aware of this. In fact, it is precisely because of this that he has such high demands on Xie Chengze.


    If Xie Chengze¡¯s grades are mediocre, there is a high probability that those universities will not accept him, but if his grades are outstanding, they will always make an exception.


    In three years, he had made Xie Chengze learn the knowledge from elementary school to high school, it was time to consolidate now.


    After Liu Tongming left, Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze a few more questions.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, can I really take the college entrance examination?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. He has always taken care of Xie Chengze, and even taught Xie Chengze to read, which has become a model praised by others.


    The university may not be willing to accept Xie Chengze, but Xie Chengze should still take the exam.


    ¡°Is it possible for me to pass the exam?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s definitely possible!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    If Xie Chengze could not take the college entrance examination, or if he passed the entrance examination but was not allowed to attend, he would have to use other methods to take Xie Chengze away¡­


    In the following days, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side was very lively.


    Apart from Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, there are four educated youths in Lianfeng Village, two of whom plan to take the college entrance examination.


    Their level is not very good, so they only want to try when they sign up. However, since they signed up, they still worked hard. That¡¯s why they come to Lu Yanzhou to ask questions from time to time.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze taught them together.


    They were very convinced by Lu Yanzhou. At first they didn¡¯t like Xie Chengze at all, at the end, Xie Chengze knew all the questions they couldn¡¯t answer.


    They didn¡¯t dare to underestimate Xie Chengze any longer, and felt that Lu Yanzhou was very powerful.


    After the news got out, people from other villages also came over at night to ask Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze to answer their questions.


    There are electric lights in the village committee compound. Lu Yanzhou applied to the village head and simply opened his ¡®infirmary¡¯ so that those who want to go to college can go to his infirmary to study after work.


    Even he himself was giving pointers.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reputation is very good now, it has spread far and wide. These educated youths already respect him, so seeing that he taught Xie Chengze, who has never been to school, so well, they respect him even more.


    After studying for a period of time, college entrance examination is finally ushered in.


    Just as Lu Yanzhou thought, the city did not stop Xie Chengze from taking the exam.


    Their village was close to the city, the exam location was an elementary school in the city. Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to live with the original owner¡¯s parents.


    Lu Hongxing didn¡¯t take the college entrance examination. He didn¡¯t like studying when he was a child. Right now, he wanted to take advantage of other people going for the university entrance exams to find him a job.


    Because of this, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze have a room to live in.


    However, the Lu family thought that Lu Yanzhou could pass the exam, but they didn¡¯t think Xie Chengze could pass the exam at all.


    Xie Chengze has only studied for three years, what can he learn?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say much, he had already learned a lot in three years, especially Xie Chengze who didn¡¯t have to go to work and studied for more than ten hours a day.


    Some of the educated youth who participated in the college entrance examination this time have already forgotten all their knowledge from junior and senior high schools. Didn¡¯t they just learn the general ideas in these few months?


    When Xie Chengze took the college entrance examination, it was Lu Yanzhou who carried him into the examination room, and carried him out after he finished the exam.


    After the two took the exam, they returned to the village and began to wait. The final result did not disappoint them.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s grades were very good, so both were admitted to Capital University.


    So, before going to the school to report, they accepted another round of interviews. Among the people who came to interview, there was a reporter who had interviewed him more than two years ago.


    At that time, Xie Chengze had just finished elementary school studies, but now he got such a good result in the exam¡­The reporter was overwhelmed with surprise and pity.


    With Xie Chengze like this, the university may not accept him.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze have been advertised as models, so Xie Chengze may also have the opportunity to study.


    Lu Yanzhou thought the same way, so before he went to the capital, he collected all the newspapers that had reported on them in the past two years.


    At this moment, a thousand things are waiting to be done and with few rules, he took Xie Chengze to take action. He can always make Xie Chengze stay.


    Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to the capital in advance, visited some people, and finally made Xie Chengze enter the school smoothly, and studied chemical and pharmaceuticals with him.


    The school has an 8 person dorm with upper and lower bunks. Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze share a dormitory. Xie Chengze sleeps in the lower bunk while Lu Yanzhou sleeps in the upper bunk.


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s situation is special, his experience is really inspirational, coupled with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s help, no one underestimates him.


    Especially after school started, his grades were very good, so his classmates were convinced of him.


    Of course, the one with the best grades was not Xie Chengze, but Lu Yanzhou. Not only did Lu Yanzhou have good grades, he also took the initiative to visit the old professors in the college, and recommended himself to join the research team.


    He seemed a little eager like this, so the professors didn¡¯t have a good impression of him. Some people even thought that he was showing off by bringing Xie Chengze everywhere, but there was a shortage of people, and he had the best grades, so he was allowed to help.


    After several months of helping, Lu Yanzhou officially became one of them, and he still brought Xie Chengze along with him.


    By the end of the first semester, their team had already achieved some results.


    At this time, there are very few domestic medicines. They are not capable of producing many medicines that have been developed abroad, so what Lu Yanzhou and the others first made were generic medicine.


    After a year of trying, they started to develop new medicines, one of which was proposed by Lu Yanzhou.


    In the blink of an eye, three years later, a new batch of students stepped into the gate of Capital University.


    Zhou Hai is a first-year freshman. He was born in a rural area. It is not easy to be admitted to such a good university, but if he really has to said because of what¡­it is because of Lu zhiqing from their village.


    When Lu zhiqing came to the village, he was only in elementary school. When Lu zhiqing moved out of the educated youth place to live in Xie¡¯s house, he was in fifth grade.


    There are five grades in elementary school. People in the village usually stop after fifth grade and go to the fields to earn work points. This is also what he planned.


    After all, what if they finish middle school and high school? Aren¡¯t those educated youth doing farm work?


    But Lu zhiqing felt that he was smart and asked him to continue studying, saying that he would be promising.


    His parents believed in Lu Zhiqing very much. Their family conditions were not bad, and they didn¡¯t lack his work points, so under Lu Zhiqing¡¯s persuasion, they made him go to middle school.


    It¡¯s also a coincidence that when he was in the third year middle school, the college entrance examination resumed!


    His grades have always been very good. If the college entrance examination is not resumed, he will definitely not study after finishing middle school. However, now that the college entrance examination is resumed, Lu Zhiqing keeps saying that college is so good¡­


    Lu Zhiqing is unsuitable to be a worker or doctor, and he goes to university!


    So his parents gritted their teeth, they sent him to high school and asked him to read Lu zhiqing¡¯s notes that he left in the village when he was free.


    Think about it, Xie Chengze has never been to school before, but after three years of hard work, he can be admitted to university¡­he can¡¯t be too bad!


    He studied hard for three years, and finally he was admitted to Capital University.


    This is the school Lu Zhiqing and brother Xie attended!


    Zhou Hai entered the school with great excitement. After registering, he couldn¡¯t help asking the senior who led him the way: ¡°Senior, do you know Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou? Of course I know, why did you ask about him?¡±


    Zhou Hai said: ¡°I know senior. I have always known him, he is a good man! I am his fellow villager!¡±


    The senior said: ¡°Senior Lu is indeed a good person with a noble character!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Lu zhiqing¡­ I mean Senior Lu, he is always willing to help others!¡±


    The senior was very excited: ¡°Senior Lu is my idol, and also the idol of many people in our school!¡±


    A freshman who came with Zhou Hai was puzzled when he heard this: ¡°Senior, what did this Senior Lu do?¡±


    When the senior was asked, he say without stopping: ¡°Senior Lu came to the school with his good friend Xie Chengze. Senior Xie has disabled legs but senior Lu took good care of him. At that time, some people thought that he did that to gain a good reputation. However, everyone is wrong! These few years, senior Lu has been taking care of senior Xie. He has never deceived anyone! Of course, if it¡¯s only this, senior Lu won¡¯t be my idol. The most admirable thing about him is his grade and the research achievements he has made over the years¡­¡±


    This senior started telling all about Lu Yanzhou achievements, and of course Xie Chengze was not left behind: ¡°Senior Xie is actually my idol too, he has a disability, but he is self-improvement. Not only was he admitted to university, but he also shines in the field of research! He is no worse than senior Lu!¡±


    The more Zhou Hai listened, the more excited he became, and so did the other freshmen.


    Such a person is worthy of admiration!


    The senior still continued: ¡°That¡¯s right. Senior Lu and senior Xie participated in many projects and often get bonuses, but they lived in simplicity. They live and eat in the laboratory and donate all their prize money to help students from families with difficulty improving their lives¡­Normal people really can¡¯t do what they did.¡±


    Zhou Hai listened, and couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°In the village, senior Lu is like that too!¡±


    Everyone looked at him immediately: ¡°Tell me quickly!¡±


    Zhou Hai started talking.


    While Zhou Hai was telling people about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past, Lu Yanzhou was in the laboratory, looking at the results he had just produced.


    It has been four years since he was admitted to university, and during the four years, he has successively researched many medicines.


    Most of them are imitations of foreign medicines, which did not bring him much merit, but in the past two years he has developed several new medicines, so he has indeed gained a lot of merit.


    Right now, he already has enough merit to restore Xie Chengze¡¯s health.


    When he was in Lianfeng Village, although he kept a distance from Xie Chengze, the two of them were still very close. It was different when they came to university. They were both busy studying and doing research, then slept in the dorm¡­


    The relationship between him and Xie Chengze is no different from that of ordinary brothers.


    After getting busy, Xie Chengze no longer complained about himself, and he hadn¡¯t confessed his love to Xie Chengze for three years.


    When Xie Chengze recovers, they should be able to continue getting along like this, right? After all, he couldn¡¯t get up.

 CH 40

    Seeing Xie Chengze grow up from being a pitiful little boy to a project host who is now sitting in a wheelchair and can make people who are older than him obedient, Lu Yanzhou is full of pride.


    Thinking of Xie Chengze¡¯s recovery, he felt even better.


    ¡°Professor Lu, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Someone called Lu Yanzhou.


    When he first entered the laboratory, Lu Yanzhou was the youngest in it, so everyone called him Xiao Lu.


    But now four years have passed¡­He graduated ahead of schedule and has achieved enough scientific research results to become Professor Lu, and Xie Chengze, like him, has become Professor Xie.


    The professors who taught them when they first entered the school are now helping them.


    ¡°I know.¡± Lu Yanzhou simply packed his things before going out. When he went out, someone locked his laboratory.


    He is a medicine researcher. Though different from those who study for the military, which need to be strictly kept secret, his experimental results are also very precious.


    When he came out, the assistant had already delivered the food. There were two enamel rice bowls, one was filled with rice and a large piece of braised pork was placed on it, and the other bowl was stewed vermicelli with cabbage and fungus.


    Lu Yanzhou picked it up: ¡°I¡¯ll eat at Professor Xie¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant answered quickly.


    Lu Yanzhou used to have lunch with Xie Chengze. This year they took on different projects, worked in different laboratories, and were very busy, so they didn¡¯t eat together again.


    The two laboratories were not far away, so Lu Yanzhou went over with the rice bowl and learned that Xie Chengze was still in the laboratory.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask him to eat.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze are at the same level, and the two laboratories also cooperate, so he has the authority to enter Xie Chengze¡¯s laboratory.


    Opening Xie Chengze¡¯s laboratory, he walked in.


    In order to facilitate Xie Chengze¡¯s research, Lu Yanzhou asked someone to design a very tall wheelchair. Sitting in this wheelchair, Xie Chengze¡¯s height was the same as ordinary people.


    At this time, Xie Chengze was sitting on the high wheelchair, writing something intently and did not turn his head when he heard the door opening: ¡°I still have something to do, wait a minute.¡±


    ¡°If you wait any longer, the food will be cold.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise: ¡°Brother Yanzhou!¡±


    Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t seen Lu Yanzhou for half a month.


    Lu Yanzhou was very busy and was in a hurry to finish the experiment. He went to look for him twice and didn¡¯t see Lu Yanzhou, so he didn¡¯t bother him again.


    Even he wants to do something for this country, not to mention the kind-hearted Lu Yanzhou. In the past few years, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sleep time has been compressed again and again.


    ¡°AZe, long time no see.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Xie Chengze moved the wheelchair and came to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side. He really wanted to touch Lu Yanzhou, but this is the research room, a very serious place, so he didn¡¯t do it.


    After coming to university, he realized more and more clearly that it was inappropriate for two men to be together. If others found out, they would be reviled.


    He didn¡¯t care about it himself, but he didn¡¯t want to hear any gossip about Lu Yanzhou, so he never showed any traces in front of others.


    He didn¡¯t mind those, since they love each other.


    Xie Chengze is sometimes felt very lucky, fortunate that both of them have disabilities, so they can live like this forever.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, why are you here?¡±


    ¡°The experiment is over, so I came to see you¡­have lunch together?¡± Lu Yanzhou proposed.


    His newly developed drug has not yet undergone clinical trials, but he has already gained a lot of merit, which is enough for Xie Chengze to recover.


    And he couldn¡¯t wait for when Xie Chengze could stand up.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze immediately agreed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat in your lounge.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes lit up. They spent very little time together this year, if they went to his lounge, they would be able to get some alone time.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s lounge is not big, and there are many handrails installed in it. Relying on the wheelchair and these handrails, Xie Chengze can take a shower and go to the toilet by himself.


    The conditions of the institute are very good, which is why Lu Yanzhou dared to let go of Xie Chengze for the past two years.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s lunch was the same as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s. The two faced each other, ate slowly, and exchanged some information.


    Lu Yanzhou finished eating first, then he put down his chopsticks and looked at Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, I want to perform a surgery on you.¡±


    ¡°Surgery?¡± Xie Chengze was a little surprised.


    ¡°Yes, there is hope for you to recover¡­Is your experiment over? I want to perform surgery on you, is that okay?¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s own illness at birth was only a lame leg, and his spine problem happened later.


    In other words, merit may not necessarily restore his spine.


    However, Xie Chengze¡¯s spine can undergo surgery. After the operation, he can be treated with merit, so Xie Chengze recovered is a high probability.


    He plans to do this surgery himself.


    He had studied surgery in his previous life, because his memory was far superior to that of ordinary people and his hands were steady, he learned very well.


    ¡°Oaky. When will you do it?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°AZe, I¡¯ve never held a scalpel before, you agreed just like that?¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.


    Xie Chengze was very serious: ¡°I believe in you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart trembled when he heard that, then he immediately replied, ¡°Then let¡¯s prepare, I will perform surgery on you in a few days.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    Lu Yanzhou naturally tells the people around them about Xie Chengze¡¯s spine surgery, the people around them were dumbfounded when they heard about it.


    After Lu Yanzhou went to college, he has always been engaged in medicine research and has never studied clinical medicine. Now he wants to perform a surgery on Xie Chengze himself, no matter how they look at it, it¡¯s unreliable. Besides, if he really needs surgery, they can find a doctor in a big hospital too.


    ¡°I used to perform surgery on people in the countryside,¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Everyone was speechless, they knew Lu Yanzhou¡¯s experience, he worked as a barefoot doctor in the countryside.


    But¡­Helping someone treat a fracture, how is this comparable to performing spinal surgery?


    Xie Chengze¡¯s current situation is considered good, at least he can take care of his bowels movement by himself. If he undergoes a surgery, the situation may worsen if he is not careful.


    No matter what, everyone advised Lu Yanzhou to think twice.


    Lu Yanzhou finally ¡®gave in¡¯ this time: ¡°How about this, let¡¯s find some doctors to do the surgery on AZe with me.¡±


    This means he¡¯s not giving up¡­Everyone could only persuade Xie Chengze, but Xie Chengze actually agreed to the surgery.


    Everyone has no choice but to accept it, and then arrange for experts in this field to follow into the operating room.


    Fortunately, it was only a spinal surgery. Even if the surgery failed, Xie Chengze would not die, at most his condition would deteriorate.


    Everyone was concerned, and the surgeon who followed into the operating room said: ¡°He has been injured for seven years, it has been too long, he is not suitable for another surgery, and you have no experience¡­¡±


    Before the expert finished speaking, Lu Yanzhou skillfully began to do various preparations.


    Lu Yanzhou was afraid of being discovered by the small world¡¯s heavenly dao before, so he could only do it step by step, but now that he has enough merit, he can be a little bolder.


    What¡¯s more, when he was in the township before, he did perform surgery on people, and he has also done a lot of research on spine in recent years.


    Several surgical experts just watched as Lu Yanzhou did surgery on Xie Chengze with extraordinary proficiency. Even they couldn¡¯t guarantee that they could do such good surgery.


    Afterwards, Xie Chengze stayed in the hospital for a few days, and then was taken home by Lu Yanzhou, who was on a long vacation.


    As soon as the surgery was done, Xie Chengze already felt something was wrong ¡ª he felt sensation in both legs.


    Not one leg, but both.


    In recent years, Lu Yanzhou has spent a lot of time on his legs. He used to give him massages every day. In the past two years, the two of them got along less and less, but Lu Yanzhou would always repeatedly remind him to massage himself, and even prepared some ointments for him to use.


    So¡­Lu Yanzhou has always been trying to heal his leg, and now he finally found a solution?


    Xie Chengze cried and laughed at the same time.


    Even if Xie Chengze¡¯s leg has merits to heal it, he still needs to stay in bed for a period of time after surgery.


    When he was resting in bed seven years ago, he always felt ashamed toward Lu Yanzhou, who took care of him, but now he doesn¡¯t feel that way anymore. He is very excited every day.


    He could feel his legs!


    He has dragged Lu Yanzhou down a lot before, but in the future, he can stand up.


    Xie Chengze eats and drinks well every day, hoping that his body can recover quickly.


    Today, when Lu Yanzhou went to the laboratory, Xie Chengze got up from the bed and walked slowly.


    His injury healed very quickly. Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, he was able to get out of bed and walk around, and now he can move freely.


    He felt he had fully recovered.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t tell Lu Yanzhou about this, he wanted to surprise Lu Yanzhou.


    Of course, it¡¯s also possible that Lu Yanzhou already knew about it.


    His situation is very special, even his leg that was lame since birth has healed, this is really unreasonable. He always feels that Lu Yanzhou has done something.


    Maybe Lu Yanzhou is the god in the sky that descended to earth, otherwise, how could there be such a good person in this world?


    These days Xie Chengze often steps on the ground. He can already walk very well and his waist also doesn¡¯t hurt¡­Holding his waist, Xie Chengze twisted.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou came back, he saw Xie Chengze standing by the bed, twisting his body.


    He froze for a moment, and then saw Xie Chengze jumping up¡­


    ¡°AZe, are you injured? Don¡¯t move around!¡± Lu Yanzhou hurried in to stop him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s bones are fine, he checked. However, isn¡¯t Xie Chengze still feeling a little uncomfortable? Why did he get out of bed suddenly?


    What if an accident happens?


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou entered, he hugged Xie Chengze, the kind of hug that carried him ¡ª after all these years, he has long been used to hugging Xie Chengze like this.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou!¡± Seeing Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze entangled Lu Yanzhou with his arms and legs.


    Lu Yanzhou was right in front of him, and he is fine!


    Without even thinking about it, Xie Chengze aimed at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mouth and kissed him.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t react for a moment, and retreated subconsciously, but tripped over the bed and fell directly on the bed with Xie Chengze on top of him.


    This happened to be more convenient for Xie Chengze, and he kissed him again.


    All these years, Lu Yanzhou has been very restrained and he has been forcing Xie Chengze to study whenever he has time¡­The two have never been intimate before, so this is their first kiss.


    Lu Yanzhou made up his mind to keep a distance from Xie Chengze, but in the end he kissed him. Afterwards, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t kiss enough, so holding his face, he kissed him for a long while¡­


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to push Xie Chengze away, but he didn¡¯t dare to do so because he thought that Xie Chengze¡¯s body was still not fully recovered ¡ª what if Xie Chengze fell and hurt himself if he pushed him hard?


    ¡°Aze, get up.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to move away: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I like you so much, I¡¯m finally healed¡­Brother Yanzhou, I want to kiss you, hug you, don¡¯t push me away¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze not only kissed Lu Yanzhou, but his hands and feet were also not very honest.


    He had wanted to get close to Lu Yanzhou a long time ago, but it was Lu Yanzhou who kept avoiding. It was difficult for him to take the initiative at that time, so he never did it.


    Now, he wants to take this opportunity to open Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart knot.


    He doesn¡¯t dislike Lu Yanzhou.


    What¡¯s more¡­Before when his body was paralyzed, Lu Yanzhou confessed his love to him. At that time, Lu Yanzhou probably wanted to get close to him too?


    Xie Chengze, who had endured it for many years, was very enthusiastic, and then he was dumbfounded.


    Didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou say that he couldn¡¯t stand up? What does this mean?


    Lu Yanzhou is also a little dazed.


    When he came in and saw Xie Chengze twisting his waist, his heart beat faster. Now that Xie Chengze has kissed him for so long¡­


    He is not a saint.


    It¡¯s just¡­the lie is exposed, what should he do now?


    T/N: Hehe. What can you do? Eat meat! (???)

    Lu Yanzhou realized that Xie Chengze had discovered that he was not impotence, his whole body stiffened, fearing that Xie Chengze would be angry.


    After all, he lied to Xie Chengze for many years.


    Although he kept telling himself that as long as he gradually distanced himself from Xie Chengze, he could become brothers with Xie Chengze, but Lu Yanzhou knew very well that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to be his brother, and Xie Chengze liked him.


    Xie Chengze also always wanted to get intimate with him.


    Even though Xie Chengze was paralyzed at the time, he couldn¡¯t feel his lower body and couldn¡¯t do anything, but he still had thoughts. However, he stopped him every time.


    For seven whole years, he used study and scientific research to consume Xie Chengze¡¯s energy, so the two of them never even kissed.


    If Xie Chengze knew that his ¡®could not stand¡¯ was a lie, he would be very angry. He would just ignore him, right?


    After all, in the past two years, they have not been so close.


    This was actually the result Lu Yanzhou wanted, but he still couldn¡¯t help but feel disappointed.


    However, the development of things was different from what Lu Yanzhou thought.


    Xie Chengze stared blankly at Lu Yanzhou for a while, then kissed him again, his voice choking up: ¡°Brother Yanzhou¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is fine!


    But¡­Lu Yanzhou pretended to have a problem!


    If he discovered this when he was paralyzed, Xie Chengze might think that Lu Yanzhou disliked him and didn¡¯t want to get close to him.


    But so many years have passed!


    Over the years, although he can take care of himself, he still has diarrhea and other messes. Every time, Lu Yanzhou will take care of him and clean it up for him.


    Lu Yanzhou has never disliked him, and has been taking him with him for the past seven years, never leaving him behind.


    In the past two years, Lu Yanzhou has been very busy, and he rarely gets along with him, but that is also for the sake of the country and to help more people!


    And¡­Ahem, he has been paying attention to Lu Yanzhou, so he knows very clearly that Lu Yanzhou has never paid attention to anyone other than him. He is so busy that he doesn¡¯t even have a close friend.


    Lu Yanzhou loved him deeply from the beginning to the end.


    That being the case, Lu Yanzhou must have lied to him because of him.


    Thinking about it, his self-esteem was very low at that time. If he knew that Lu Yanzhou was in good health, he might find a way to push Lu Yanzhou out.


    Besides, he didn¡¯t feel much in his lower body at the time, that was the real impotence. Lu Yanzhou probably said that because he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.


    As for why Lu Yanzhou has been able to hold back all these years¡­Lu Yanzhou is probably the kind of person who pursues spiritual satisfaction and doesn¡¯t care much about physical enjoyment, so that means he¡¯s not the same as him?


    For example¡­he really wants Lu Yanzhou right now.


    Xie Chengze was very moved, and the kiss became deeper and deeper.


    Lu Yanzhou finally pushed him away a little: ¡°AZe, please stop¡­¡±


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I¡¯m already healed, you don¡¯t have to bear it any longer.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s hand went straight to it.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°!!!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t even know how he left the bedroom.


    Xie Chengze was not in good health, he didn¡¯t dare to resist at all, and then¡­


    Although they didn¡¯t go all the way, the two faced each other honestly, so their relationship was not innocent anymore.


    When he was in the last world, he decided that he must keep a distance from Xie Chengze in this world. However, he had already confessed when he transmigrated, and something also happened to Xie Chengze.


    However, he had to take care of Xie Chengze¡¯s situation at that time, so how could he keep a distance? In order to take care of Xie Chengze, he confessed to him repeatedly.


    Thinking about it carefully, he didn¡¯t know how many times he had seen Xie Chengze¡¯s body.


    Now it¡¯s like this¡­He can¡¯t tell Xie Chengze that he doesn¡¯t like Xie Chengze, he can¡¯t bear to see Xie Chengze sad.


    Xie Chengze had already had a hard life before.


    Lu Yanzhou thought that he could use work and do experiments as excuses to hide from Xie Chengze, but he quickly rejected it.


    Xie Chengze has not fully recovered yet.


    He insisted on performing surgery on Xie Chengze himself because he was afraid that others would find out that Xie Chengze¡¯s body recovered at a different speed.


    If he lets other people do the surgery, what should he do if they fail? Even if it succeeded¡­The doctor who performed the surgery probably knew Xie Chengze¡¯s recovery status well, so he naturally knew that Xie Chengze could not recover so well.


    Moreover, after coming to Capital University, he actually kept concealing the fact that Xie Chengze had a lame leg since he was a child, making everyone think that Xie Chengze only had spinal problems.


    Only like this will it be possible for Xie Chengze to fully recover in the future.


    If other people were to help treat Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze¡¯s leg condition might be revealed.


    So Xie Chengze pre-op, Xie Chengze¡¯s surgery, and even Xie Chengze¡¯s postoperative care, he did it alone. He didn¡¯t let others approach him at all.


    Now that Xie Chengze is recovering from his injuries, he is the only one by his side.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s health has recovered, but in the eyes of the outside world, Xie Chengze still needs to rest in bed, so he can¡¯t leave Xie Chengze at this time.


    Lu Yanzhou was silent for a moment, then went to the kitchen to cook.


    When Xie Chengze heard the commotion outside, he hugged the quilt and laughed on the bed.


    What Lu Yanzhou looked like before is so interesting!


    That¡¯s shy, right? Lu Yanzhou had obviously never had any experience in this area, so he acted extremely shy and uncomfortable. He didn¡¯t dare to respond to him, making it look like he was robbing a civilian man.


    No wonder, for the previous seven years, he could bear it.


    Lu Yanzhou is definitely an overly conservative person. Xie Chengze feels that compared with Lu Yanzhou, he is like a pervert.


    In the future, he should take the initiative.


    It¡¯s just¡­Lu Yanzhou looks like this, he might really be the one below¡­


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t know how other people are but he likes men, so over the years, he has checked some information and learned about it. He also knows clearly that he prefers to be hugged by others rather than hugging others.


    And most of the men who like the same sex like him are like him.


    Lu Yanzhou might be like this too, then¡­for Lu Yanzhou, he is willing to change.


    Xie Chengze was deep in thought when Lu Yanzhou came: ¡°AZe, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze sat down at the table next to him.


    Their identities have changed a long time ago, and there are people around them to protect them. If Xie Chengze goes out, they will immediately know that Xie Chengze is in good health.


    Even Lu Yanzhou personally took care of Xie Chengze the whole time, using the reason that he was afraid that others would do something to Xie Chengze.


    Therefore, Xie Chengze has to stay in the bedroom for a period of time.


    Lu Yanzhou put the food away, and then Xie Chengze hugged him from behind. Xie Chengze stood on tiptoe, leaned forward from behind him, and kissed him on the side of the face: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I like you so much.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly: ¡°Don¡¯t do this¡­how improper.¡±


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help laughing, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance made him want to tease him even more!


    Lu Yanzhou was very uncomfortable, and left in a hurry after eating.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°Pfft!¡±


    He was really lucky to meet Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou liked him so much, in order not to leave him, Lu Yanzhou gave up many opportunities. In order to make him confident, Lu Yanzhou kept urging him to study.


    At that time, he never imagined that one day he would become a respected person who would be protected by the country.


    He can¡¯t let Lu Yanzhou down in his life!


    When he is sure that there is no problem with his waist injury, he will definitely satisfy Lu Yanzhou well.


    Xie Chengze attached great importance to his waist, and he even started to exercise his body.


    When he was young, he didn¡¯t have enough nutrition, so he was a little shorter than Lu Yanzhou and his body was also thin. If he didn¡¯t train well, his performance would definitely not be good.


    Lu Yanzhou has great strength and is particularly masculine, but his personality¡­Thinking of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s evasiveness all the time, and he has to take the initiative himself, Xie Chengze felt a little helpless.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking, he just wanted to struggle one last time.


    He was actually a little puzzled. The Xie Chengze in this world had always been very restrained before, it was completely different from the last world, but now that his body is recovering, why suddenly¡­


    Well, after experiencing the last world, it doesn¡¯t seem strange that Xie Chengze is like this?


    That is to say, Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments are like this. If Xie Chengze himself hadn¡¯t cultivated the ruthless dao, would he also¡­


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou still felt that he was thinking too much.


    In the last world, Xie Chengze suffered from skin hunger, but in this world¡­Xie Chengze probably has been holding back for too long.


    Lu Yanzhou took good care of Xie Chengze every day. Seeing that Xie Chengze could do a hundred crunches at a time, he was finally sure that Xie Chengze was fine.


    ¡°AZe, we have taken leave for a long time, it¡¯s time to go back to the laboratory tomorrow.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze was stunned for a moment, and then said: ¡°Yes, it¡¯s time to go back.¡± He is not as noble as Lu Yanzhou. He prefers to spend a little peaceful life with Lu Yanzhou alone than to study.


    However, they can¡¯t be like this forever, they will have to go back sooner or later.


    ¡°AZe, your recovery speed is a little too fast. After you go back, you will have to sit in a wheelchair for a while, and then use crutches to stand up slowly.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed. He knew that Lu Yanzhou had a secret, but if Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t tell, he wouldn¡¯t ask.


    ¡°Then you have a good rest, we have to get up early tomorrow.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Ever since Xie Chengze pressed him that day, he has been sleeping in separate beds from Xie Chengze these days.


    He was really afraid of Xie Chengze.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou stood up and planned to leave.


    However, as soon as he got up, Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, stay here.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble. You can¡¯t have a good rest like this.¡± Lu Yanzhou tried to reason with him.


    Xie Chengze was speechless, Lu Yanzhou was too shy¡­But he knew how much Lu Yanzhou valued himself, so he naturally had a way to take down Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, do you dislike me?¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡±


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you stay?¡±


    ¡°I just¡­it¡¯s too sudden¡­¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t stay, you just dislike me.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes turned red.


    When he was in the village before, he was pretty good at pretending to be pitiful. He¡¯s even better at it with teary eyes, very pitiful.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou really had no choice but to leave.


    Xie Chengze said again: ¡°We have been together for so many years, why are you still avoiding me¡­ If you do this again, I will go out and tell people that I like men!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°!!!¡± Is this¡­being ¡®backfired¡¯?


    Xie Chengze actually used his trump card to deal with him!


    Just as Lu Yanzhou was thinking like this, Xie Chengze hugged him and kissed him. After the kiss, he said: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you may not understand¡­Don¡¯t worry, I know how to do it, I will satisfy you!¡±


    Having said that, Xie Chengze pushed Lu Yanzhou onto the bed, and then pushed him hard.


    Lu Yanzhou was caught off guard and fell on the bed, then he realized that something was wrong ¡ª Xie Chengze, what does he mean by that?


    Lu Yanzhou soon knew what Xie Chengze meant from Xie Chengze¡¯s actions.


    Xie Chengze was still comforting him: ¡°Don¡¯t be shy, relax¡­Tell me if it hurts later, I will be careful.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou turned over and took the initiative.


    At this time, if he still doesn¡¯t take the initiative, then he really has a problem.

 CH 42

    The next day, Xie Chengze went to the laboratory in a wheelchair.


    Although there was a little accident, they agreed to go to the laboratory, so they had to go.


    However, Lu Yanzhou originally planned to go to a different laboratory with Xie Chengze, but now it¡¯s different¡­Not to mention that Lu Yanzhou brought Xie Chengze into his own laboratory. After entering, he was very caring too.


    Lu Yanzhou used to be like this too, but these two years they have been too busy and rarely met. Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t enjoyed this kind of service for a long time.


    It feels¡­pretty good?


    While drinking hot tea while watching Lu Yanzhou work, Xie Chengze was in a complicated mood.


    Unexpectedly, Lu Yanzhou¡­turned out to be such Lu Yanzhou!


    Last night, he didn¡¯t stop no matter what. Where is the man who used to have thick eyebrows and big eyes who only focused on studying and experimenting and asked him to study hard to serve the motherland every day?


    Don¡¯t think that he can¡¯t see that Lu Yanzhou has been distracted today, and his eyes often wandered to him.


    He was obviously not like this in the past. When they were doing experiments together, if he looked at Lu Yanzhou a few more times, Lu Yanzhou would shout at him to concentrate!


    Xie Chengze thought of all the things he had experienced in the past, so he wanted to imitate Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance at the beginning to make Lu Yanzhou not be distracted and test him again!


    Forget it, he still likes Lu Yanzhou looking at him, so let it be!


    Xie Chengze thought about it, and took another biscuit to eat.


    Lu Yanzhou asked the people around him to buy it not long ago¡­Xie Chengze, a genius, made a small request, so naturally they would satisfy him without saying a word.


    ¡°Are you uncomfortable sitting like this? Do you want to go to the bathroom?¡± After a while, Lu Yanzhou approached Xie Chengze and asked.


    ¡°No discomfort,¡± Xie Chengze smiled, ¡°but I want to go to the toilet.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll carry you.¡± Lu Yanzhou immediately picked up Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was very calm. Lu Yanzhou hugged him like this before, but the newcomer in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s laboratory was stunned.


    He is so gentle. Professor Lu, who has been immersed in experiments all day, unexpectedly took another professor away with ease?


    Also, if Professor Xie needs to go to the toilet, he can ask the people around Professor Xie to help, right? Why did Professor Lu carry him to the bathroom?


    The people around Xie Chengze were also a little confused. Xie Chengze used to go to the toilet himself and never asked anyone to help him.


    On the other side, in the toilet, Lu Yanzhou asked again: ¡°Are you really feeling well?¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­I like it.¡± Xie Chengze said. He hadn¡¯t felt anything before, now even if it was pain, he found it very interesting, not to mention that it didn¡¯t hurt much.


    What do you like¡­Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°¡­be more reserved.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°How were you yesterday and you told me to be reserved?¡± Lu Yanzhou was like a wolf last night, why did he have the nerve to tell him to be reserved?


    Lu Yanzhou was speechless.


    Seeing him like this, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze back, and asked someone to buy porridge for Xie Chengze¡­As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t buy it, I¡¯ll cook it.¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he went to the cafeteria.


    Only then did Xie Chengze¡¯s feet touch the ground, and then the people around him immediately asked, ¡°Professor Xie, how is your recovery?¡±


    Although Xie Chengze is not as important as Lu Yanzhou, he is also a national treasure and is highly valued.


    They have always been very concerned about Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition, but unfortunately. Although Lu Yanzhou told them that Xie Chengze was fine, he refused others to examine Xie Chengze.


    If Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were not such close friends, and Xie Chengze¡¯s complexion was still good, they would all suspect that Lu Yanzhou was plotting against Xie Chengze!


    ¡°The recovery is good.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    ¡°Then do you want to go for an examination?¡± the man asked again.


    ¡°No thanks.¡± Xie Chengze refused.


    Xie Chengze seemed to be in good condition, so the man didn¡¯t say much and began to struggle again ¡ª Professor Lu, who is engaged in scientific research every day, can the food he cooks be edible?


    Of course it¡¯s edible.


    Lu Yanzhou came back an hour later. When he came back, he was holding a pot of shredded chicken porridge in his hand, and the people behind him were also holding a few dishes.


    Compared with the meals they prepared for Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze in the past, it¡¯s really not the same.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s culinary skill is so good?


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s culinary skills are not very good, it¡¯s just exquisite. However, this alone is far better than the big pot dishes in the cafeteria.


    ¡°Brother Yanzhou, your cooking is still the best.¡± Xie Chengze praised.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°I will make it for you every day from now on.¡±


    ¡°You won¡¯t do experiments anymore?¡± Xie Chengze thought it was a bit amusing. As soon as Lu Yanzhou was doing experiments, he wished he could sleep in the laboratory. How could he have time to cook?


    In the previous four years, he hadn¡¯t eaten the food Lu Yanzhou cook much.


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°The experiment will still be done, but a break is also needed¡­Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I still won¡¯t get off work at noon. From now on, I¡¯ll get off work on time in the evening and cook for you.¡±


    Xie Chengze was shocked. Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou¡¯s favorite experiment? Now he promised to cook for him every day? Is this the difference between eating meat and not eating meat?


    The people around were also shocked. Professor Lu, who spends time in the laboratory every day, will get off work on time?!


    Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly: ¡°I¡¯m getting old, it¡¯s not good to stay up all night.¡± He wanted to keep a distance from Xie Chengze before and he also wanted to accumulate merit quickly, so he worked harder, but he doesn¡¯t have to do this in the future.


    He wanted to be with Xie Chengze.


    In the next world, Xie Chengze might not like him, so he will naturally cherish this life.


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± You are not even thirty years old, yet you say you are getting old? Excuse me?


    However, Lu Yanzhou really got off work on time today.


    After returning home, he made dinner for Xie Chengze and prepared to give Xie Chengze medicine.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°What medicine¡­won¡¯t you do it again?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was speechless: ¡°You need to take good care of it.¡± What did he mean by doing it again, is Xie Chengze talking about tigers and wolves!


    Not today, but two days later will be alright.


    So, two days later, after checking Xie Chengze¡¯s body, confirming that there was no problem with Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou satisfied Xie Chengze¡¯s request.


    He does it, then does it again and again.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Compared with before, Lu Yanzhou has really changed a lot!


    Of course, he likes such a change.


    A month later, Lu Yanzhou started working on a new project. Xie Chengze also got out of the wheelchair and walked with a cane.


    Xie Chengze stood up, which was extremely shocking, but it has to be said that this is a good thing. Before Xie Chengze could only use a wheelchair, which was very inconvenient for Xie Chengze.


    It¡¯s just¡­it turns out that Professor Lu really knows how to perform surgery? He could also cure Professor Xie?


    Seeing this situation, some people wanted to find Lu Yanzhou to operate on them.


    About this, Lu Yanzhou refused.


    He does know how to perform surgery, but he may not be as good as a professional doctor. He said that he had studied Xie Chengze¡¯s situation for many years so he dared to do it, but he was not sure about other surgeries.


    No one doubted since he had never performed surgery on anyone before.


    After some time, Xie Chengze was able to walk as usual. At the same time, Lu Yanzhou developed another medicine.


    There is a shortage of medicines in this era. Every time he releases medicines, he can get a lot of merits. Besides researching medicines, Lu Yanzhou is also learning other knowledge, mainly chemistry.


    However, no matter how busy he is, he will leave work on time and live a two-person world with Xie Chengze.


    It was like when they were in Lianfeng Village. Although Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou was very different from before, he never doubted him.


    However, when he thought Lu Yanzhou was very conservative in the beginning, he was absolutely mistaken. Lu Yanzhou is very serious in front of others, but he has a lot of tricks in private.


    The point is¡­probably because they performed so well in the past, even if the two of them were together every day, others only thought they were studying and researching together at night.


    After all, Lu Yanzhou used to urge Xie Chengze to ¡®study¡¯ all day long.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Well, that¡¯s pretty good too.


    Xie Chengze studied with Lu Yanzhou day after day, year after year.


    However, as time went by, the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze was not hidden.


    They have always been protected by people around them, and they were able to hide it for so long because they were recognized as great friends, so no one thought much about it at first.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze are very low-key. They have never revealed anything in front of others, and their research results came out one after another, so even if someone finds out about their relationship, they treat them as if they didn¡¯t know about it.


    As for marriage, at their level, if they don¡¯t want to, no one will urge them to get married.


    Just supporting each other like this, the two slowly walked on.

 CH 43

    2044, summer.


    88 years old Xie Chengze died without any illness. At the same time Xie Chengze passed away, Lu Yanzhou left this world with his soul fragments that had been nourished with merits for decades. At the same time, this small world broke away from Black Tortoise control and began to run on its own.


    When two masters lost their breath on the same day, the nation mourned.


    ¡°Mr. Lu and Mr. Xie actually passed away? Is it fake? It must be fake, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not fake, it¡¯s different from the gossip before, this time it¡¯s from the official media¡­¡±


    ¡°Woo woo, so sad. Why did the two great masters pass away?¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the medicines studied by the two great masters, I might have died a long time ago. I pray for the two great masters to be happy and healthy in the next life.¡±


    ¡­


    As soon as the news of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s death was announced, everyone knew it, and almost everyone was saddened by it.


    After all, these two people really saved too many people.


    They have developed countless medicines and won Nobel Prizes respectively. Few people can match their achievements. Let alone domestic, even foreign countries know the existence of the two of them.


    ¡°A few years ago, they also developed a medicine to treat cancer, why are they dead now?¡±


    ¡°Mm. I can¡¯t believe it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m really sad. After watching the messy brainwashing kits before, I still said bad things about them¡­I¡¯m really sorry to them.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen the brainwashing kits too. Some people are really abominable. They even smear people who have made contributions to all mankind like this!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze have researched too many things and won the Nobel Prize. In the early years, the country has been promoting them.


    The country¡¯s publicity is naturally positive, and Lu Yanzhou has indeed done a lot of good things in the past. In those reports, Lu Yanzhou appears to be too perfect.


    He took the initiative to take care of the paralyzed Xie Chengze after he went to the countryside, and taught Xie Chengze, who had never studied, to become a top student who was admitted to a top university.


    He has been doing good deeds when he was in the countryside, donating money and materials, rushing to work to help others, and donating all the income after starting to do research.


    He personally performs surgery on Xie Chengze to cure Xie Chengze¡¯s ailment.


    He researched out medicines and applied for a patent, then all the patent fees were used for charity.


    ¡­


    Anyway, under this kind of publicity, it had some counterproductive effects. When the Internet first appeared, some people made up some false information and put it on the Internet, which was widely disseminated.


    Those fake materials mainly said that Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s experience of doing good deeds was all fake, it was a show. They also said that they had been copying foreign research results¡­


    At first, there were quite a few people who believed in this. Of course, as Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze won the Nobel Prize, and as they developed more and more medicines, it was all clarified.


    Later, the past of the two was also dug out, such as the interviews in newspapers back then, so no one believed in those messy brainwashing kits anymore.


    However, today when their news is spread all over the Internet, everyone gets to know them even better.


    ¡°Some people in that era were really great!¡±


    ¡°Speaking of which, when I went to Lianfeng Village, I visited Xie Chengze¡¯s former residence there. There are many things preserved in it. The things that the official publicity said are all true.¡±


    ¡°Everyone in Lianfeng Village knows that Xie Chengze was an orphan who never went to school.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true! Lu Yanzhou sponsored my teacher back then!¡±


    ¡°My mother was sponsored by them back then too!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°These two are not only nice, but also handsome!¡±


    ¡°Yes, they are really handsome! I remember that when I saw Lu Yanzhou¡¯s photo for the first time, I was stunned.¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is also super handsome, much handsomer than some of the current little fresh meats and he has a temperament.¡±


    ¡°Their friendship is also enviable. The two old professor have fought side by side all their lives.¡±


    ¡­


    The Internet is very lively, even everyone¡¯s Moments is full of news about Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze today.


    At this time, some people are piously sorting out their relics, including their students and people arranged by certain countries.


    The things left by these two people, even a single page, are very precious.


    Let¡¯s talk about Lu Yanzhou. He has photographic memory, so he can learn everything quickly. He studied medicine when he was young, but later he also got involved in other industries and made great achievements.


    How about Xie Chengze? His learning ability is also far beyond ordinary people. Later, when there was a domestic research on computers and the internet, though he was not young anymore, he could still easily get started with such new things.


    The two things were tidied up one by one, then one of the young soldiers looked at the room in front of him puzzled: ¡°Mr. Lu and Mr. Xie have been living together? Is it for the convenience of looking after each other?¡±


    The room they tidied up was full of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s life traces. The two of them had almost no distinction between you and me, and they even had only one bed.


    In this day and age, it has long been very open. This person naturally knows what this means, but he is not sure, and he dare not speak nonsense.


    Those are two great masters!


    The middle-aged man who brought him over glanced at him without hiding anything: ¡°Mr. Lu and Mr. Xie are a couple, the married ones.¡±


    ¡°Married?!¡± The young soldier was stunned.


    ¡°Yes, married. They got married very early. When they researched something very important, the higher up asked them what they wanted, and they said they wanted a marriage certificate.¡± The middle-aged man smiled. Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze are very low-key. They never show off anywhere. They only want to have it for themselves, so the higher-ups will naturally satisfy them.


    That was fifty years ago.


    ¡°If people on the Internet know about this, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re going to go crazy¡­¡± The young man said. Don¡¯t think he doesn¡¯t know, there are always people on the Internet who secretly pair up Mr. Xie and Mr. Lu, but no matter whether it is Mr. Xie or Mr. Lu, their status is too high, so everyone only does it in their hearts and they dare not even say it.


    ¡°Mr. Lu and Mr. Xie are both low-key and don¡¯t want to be talked about.¡± The middle-aged man said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right¡­the two old professors are too low-key!¡± Everyone present said one after another.


    They also had an in-depth understanding, only to realize that the contributions of these two old professors were far more than what they knew.


    Among other things, who would have thought that the military industry would ask Xie Chengze to design a defense system?


    Xie Chengze had no scientific research achievements for several years, but was called to help.


    ¡°Their relationship is also very good,¡± the slightly bald middle-aged professor with a slightly round belly and glasses said, ¡°My teacher, I mean Mr. Xie, when he got older, he liked to tell us about his youth. He always said that before he was paralyzed Mr. Lu fell in love with him. At that time, he felt that he was not good enough for Mr. Lu so he refused. Unexpectedly, after he was paralyzed, Mr. Lu still persists. Even after knowing his low self-esteem, he taught him all kinds of knowledge and made him go to college.¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze reached their late years, society was already very open, so the two would talk about their relationship experiences with people around them.


    Of course, it was mainly Xie Chengze who was talking.


    ¡°I¡¯ve also heard Mr. Xie say, Mr. Xie said that he won¡¯t let my teacher, that is, Mr. Lu took care of him. Then my teacher yelled that he was going outside to tell everyone that he likes Mr. Xie¡­Mr. Xie was afraid that my teacher would really do that, so he could only let him continue to take care of him.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Xie really talked a lot about this matter, and every time he said it, he was very proud.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right¡­My teacher was in the countryside back then, and it is said that he had a hard time, but for the sake Mr. Xie, he gave up many opportunities. He was unwilling to go to the factory, and even refused to be a workers, peasants and soldiers college student.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Lu has always been very serious. I really didn¡¯t expect him to be a love-mind when he was young.¡±


    ¡°My teacher is serious to outsiders, but to Mr. Xie, he couldn¡¯t be serious at all. It is said that when he was young, the laboratory was his home but later when Mr. Xie was not happy, he get off work on time everyday to cook for Mr. Xie. He always wanted Mr. Xie to work on projects with him. Aren¡¯t there many achievements signed by the two of them? It wasn¡¯t that he asked Mr. Xie to help him, he insist on helping Mr. Xie.¡±


    ¡°My teacher is the same. He has always been indifferent to others, but when he saw Mr. Lu, his whole personality changed.¡±


    ¡°70¡­the relationship between the two of them is really good.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really enviable!¡±


    While everyone was talking, someone found a notebook from a bookshelf.


    The man turned over a page, then immediately closed the notebook: ¡°This notebook seems to be Mr. Xie¡¯s diary, can we read it?¡±


    ¡°We can read it. My teacher told us before that he had already destroyed the ones that were not allowed to be read, and all that remained was something we could read. Since he left that notebook, we can take a look.¡± One of Xie Chengze¡¯s student said.


    Then everyone opened the notebook.


    This is indeed Xie Chengze¡¯s dairy. It had some short words written under each date.


    ¡°Today is my first entry into the confidential laboratory, my first day of defense weapon development. Old Lu originally wanted to come, unfortunately, he is halfway through his experiment and he has no research on this area so he can¡¯t come. Old Lu was furious. He vows to learn how to make weapons next. In just a few days, he learned to assemble firearms. I miss him.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Old Lu for two days. I can¡¯t sleep alone. I miss him.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Old Lu for three days. The food in the military canteen is not as good as Old Lu¡¯s. I miss him.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m very tired. If Old Lu was here, he would give me a massage. I miss him.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what Old Lu is doing, but today I think of the time when we were young. We love each other, but no one knows. After I went to college, someone in the dormitory wanted to help Old Lu take care of me but Old Lu glared at them¡­I miss him. ¡±


    ¡°Without Old Lu by my side, it feels like a long night. I miss him.¡±


    ¡°Old Lu came to see me a few days ago, I didn¡¯t write in the dairy. Today Old Lu went back¡­I miss him.¡±

    T/N: Next is¡­.Little white face(not) and spy boss _(©´¡¸¦Å:)_

 CH 44

    Southern part of DaQi. In the private room of a restaurant in Chongcheng, the most prosperous city, a group of 20 or so young men in changshan1Men clothing like the women cheongsam/qipao was impassionedly saying the hateful things the Yan people did.


    ¡°Sima Zhaozhi, a native of Yan country, is well known to everyone. He just wants to destroy DaQi!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that our DaQi Country generals are a bunch of soft bones. They don¡¯t dare to fight to the death with those villains!¡±


    ¡°Stop talking about the generals, the emperor has moved his capital!¡±


    ¡°The most hateful thing is those traitors who have forgotten their ancestors! They even took refuge with Yan people!¡±


    ¡­


    Those people all spoke angrily, except for a young man with an extremely outstanding appearance in the corner, who was abnormally silent without saying a word.


    ¡°Brother Lu, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why don¡¯t you speak?¡± Someone asked the young man, puzzled.


    ¡°Nothing. I just thought of something.¡± Lu Yanzhou came back to his senses and smiled at the person who asked him.


    This is the third world he traveled through. This era¡¯s technological development is similar to the early 20th century on Earth. However, the course of history is quite different.


    This country is called DaQi Country. The country is vast and rich in resources. It used to be very rich, but it¡¯s a pity that its development is a step behind others. While the neighboring countries are developing industries, DaQi is still a feudal country based on agriculture. When the neighboring countries¡¯ soldiers held wooden cannons, DaQi¡¯s soldiers were still holding spears.


    Then, from time to time, DaQi was invaded by neighboring countries and a lot of places were lost.


    About 50 years ago, DaQi emperor at the time learned from the painful experience and started making changes. It¡¯s a pity that DaQi officials were corrupt. With lots of old issues, they can¡¯t rise all at once.


    DaQi was unstable with frequent peasant rebelling. A few years ago, they was fully invaded by Yan Country.


    Yan Country¡¯s army burned, killed, and looted DaQi territory, doing all kinds of evil things. It wasn¡¯t known how many horrible things they have done.


    Facing such an enemy, DaQi¡¯s army not only tasted consecutive defeat but the emperor even took many ministers to move the capital overnight.


    Then, DaQi¡¯s former capital was plundered by Yan Country people.


    Chongcheng, where they live now, has already been half occupied by Yan Country.


    Because Chongcheng is very close to Yan Country, Yan Country also built a general headquarters in Chongcheng. All kinds of supplies that Yan Country needed to invade DaQi were all brought in through Chongcheng¡¯s port.


    Yan Country never fully took control of Chongcheng because Chongcheng has an excellent geographical location and is very prosperous. Therefore, other countries were also eyeing it.


    A hundred years ago, Xi Country also invaded and took a large part of Chongcheng as their colony.


    Xi Country¡¯s strength is not weaker than Yan Country¡¯s. Yan Country is not willing to confront Xi Country for the time being, and Xi Country also did not interfere with Yan Country invading DaQi, so the two countries divided Chongcheng equally.


    Compared with other places in DaQi, Chongcheng, which has been run by Xi Country for a long time, is very prosperous with countless wealthy businessmen gathered.


    And the original owner of this body is the youngest son of the owner of a big business firm in Chongcheng.


    The original owner¡¯s father was named Lu Tao. In his early years, he was in a gang. Later when the original owner was born, he sought stability so he set up a business firm and washed his hands in a gold basin2To abandon the life of an outlaw. Relying on his previous connections and backed by Xi Country, he earned a lot of money in more than 10 years.


    The original owner is only 18 years old this year. His elder brother and second brother are 35 and 33 years old respectively. These two people had followed their father to lick blood on the knife, so now they were alone. Of course, they are not hostile towards their little brother, the original owner. What about the original owner¡¯s father? He has been fighting and killing in his early years so he had completely neglected the growth of his first two sons. It wasn¡¯t until the original owner was born that he began to enjoy family happiness, so he was even more fond of the original owner.


    Therefore, in this chaotic world, the original owner has never experienced any hardships since he was a child. He lived happily with ample money and grew up to be such a naive young master.


    However, half a year ago, this young master accidentally rescued a Jinyiwei spy ¡®Hei She¡¯, who was sent by DaQi to Chongcheng to spy on Yan Country.


    Since the founding of DaQi, Jinyiwei was set up to protect the emperor and gather information.


    Jinyiwei used to only investigate their country officials. However, ever since DaQi Country faced foreign enemies, Jinyiwei now mainly targets those organizations that oppose DaQi Country.


    The present Jinyiwei commander is the emperor¡¯s confidant with great strength.


    The original owner was young and full of energy. He really hates Yan Country that invaded his country, so after saving Hei She, instigated by Hei She, he joined DaQi¡¯s Jinyiwei.


    The original owner could not provide any valuable information but he has money. Because of his status, he can also buy some in-demand supplies such as medicines that others cannot buy. He also provided a lot of help to Jinyiwei Chongcheng Command Station that was lurking in Chongcheng.


    The original owner¡¯s code name in Jinyiwei organization is ¡®Shancha¡¯. Only Hei She that he had saved knew his identity.


    And just a few days ago, Hei She was betrayed and passed away in the wooden storehouse!


    After Hei She fled into the area where Xi Country occupied and where the original owner lived, he told the original owner something in the wooden storehouse.


    It turns out that Hei She¡¯s status in Jinyiwei is not low. He also has a very important spy on his hands that was lurking among the Yan people. A lot of important information they got was from ¡®Zhaojun¡¯.


    Basically, all the high-level information related to Yan Country that DaQi got these few years were all provided by ¡®Zhaojun¡¯. ¡®Zhaojun¡¯ was DaQi highest-ranking spy lurking in Yan Country, their importance is self-evident. Only Hei She knows Zhaojun¡¯s identity and contact information, so before Hei She passed away, he told the original owner ¡ª Zhaojun, the most mysterious spy from DaQi, is the well-known traitor Xie Chengze.


    The original owner was extremely excited after knowing the secret. While trying to find a way to contact Jinyiwei Chongcheng Command Station, he also approached ¡®Zhaojun¡¯ Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze lurks among the Yan, like walking on wire. The dangers he has to face are numerous.


    In this situation, the original owner, who didn¡¯t like Yan Country, bumped into him head-on trying to get in touch with him will naturally arouse suspicion.


    The original owner was captured by Yan¡¯s spy and tortured¡­How could the original owner stand that? He quickly confessed Xie Chengze¡¯s identity.


    After the original owner was captured, Xie Chengze knew that his identity would be exposed. So, before anyone came to catch him, he sneaked into the tunnel that had been dug, detonating the explosives hidden inside. In the end, he perishes in Yan¡¯s intelligence organization in Chongcheng, destroying half of Yan¡¯s intelligence organization.


    The original owner who was captured also died in the explosion.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what to say.


    The original owner is too reckless!


    Xie Chengze disguised himself so well that no one in Yan Country doubted him. If the original owner didn¡¯t rush forward, he can certainly provide more valuable information and he won¡¯t die either!


    Lu Yanzhou was thinking of this when he heard those people around him say again: ¡°I hate traitors most in my life!¡±


    ¡°Those traitors should all go to hell!¡±


    ¡°The most hateful one is that Xie Chengze, who relies on those Yan people¡¯s strength to run amok!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou just transmigrated over, he appears here eating with these people. These people eating with him were not his high school classmates but his friends.


    That¡¯s right, the original owner is still in high school.


    Students of their age all hated Yan people who killed many DaQi people. So while eating, they were also cursing. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything today, so he became the odd one.


    However, because Lu Yanzhou paid for this dinner, everyone didn¡¯t say much.


    Their tuition fee for one semester is 30 yuan. Today¡¯s dinner is already 10 yuan. Among them, only Lu Yanzhou can be so generous.


    Hearing these people scolding Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mood fluctuates but in the end he held back and didn¡¯t rebut anything.


    In the original past trajectory, when the original owner heard people around him scold Xie Chengze at this dinner, he couldn¡¯t hold back and said ¡®you can¡¯t look at the surface when you look at people¡¯, which then was remembered by those who minded.


    ¡°Brother Lu, are you in a bad mood today?¡± Someone looked at Lu Yanzhou again.


    Lu Yanzhou pretended to be the original owner and slammed his hand on the table: ¡°Mountain and river are smashed into pieces, how can I be in a good mood?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Others followed suit.


    Everyone¡¯s state of mind was very worked up, then at this moment, ¡®bang¡¯, the sound of the wooden house sounded.


    The group of high school students turned pale instantly. Lu Yanzhou reacted quickly. He held his head and squatted down.


    A young man who was eating at the same table saw Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance and his eyes flash a trace of disdain.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that he was being watched.


    The contact between the original owner and Hei She has been exposed. The original owner, who had contact with Hei She half a year ago, has become the focus of Yan¡¯s people.


    It¡¯s just that Yan Country didn¡¯t have the evidence when he did it. It¡¯s also not easy for them to touch the original owner, who has a family background and lives in Xi Country occupied area. Secondly, they wanted to follow the vine to find ¡®Zhaojun¡¯ through the original owner, so they didn¡¯t do anything. They only find a peer of the original owner to approach the original owner.


    It was a mess. ¡®Bang bang bang bang¡¯. There was another burst of wooden house noise accompanied by wailing, as if it was right by their ears.


    ¡°This is the area occupied by Xi Country, why are they fighting¡­¡± the group of students squatted down subconsciously. Some were calm but others were already trembling.


    One must know that Xi Country manages its occupied areas very well. Here is a recognized safe place where fights rarely occur.


    Lu Yanzhou is one of the trembling people ¡ª the original owner was well protected by his family since childhood, so in fact, he is very cowardly and fears death.


    Back then he was able to save Hei She because he relied on his bodyguard around him to help.


    While they were talking, the original owner¡¯s bodyguard came over. A tall man in his thirties came to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side: ¡°Little young master, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. What¡¯s going on outside?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked. He has the original owner¡¯s memory, so of course he knows what¡¯s going on, but he still needs to ask.


    ¡°Xie Chengze came to arrest people.¡± Replied the bodyguard.


    Although the original owner has some flaws, he is actually not bad. It¡¯s not uncommon for him to save people.


    This bodyguard was picked up by the original owner ten years ago when he was eight years old. At that time, the bodyguard was pulling a rickshaw. Then, he was beaten on the ground and almost bled to death. The original owner took pity on him and took him home. He later served as the original owner¡¯s bodyguard.


    This man is a bit stubborn. He only recognizes the original owner as his master, he is also extremely loyal.


    ¡°Xie Chengze is so arrogant?¡± Lu Yanzhou frowned slightly, showing some disgust.


    Xie Chengze is really not very likable in Chongcheng, or should he say, many people hated him and wanted him to die.


    There are many traitors in Chongcheng, but Xie Chengze is the one Yan Country people most valued.


    Yan people controlled a part of Chongcheng and some surrounding areas. In order to manage these places well, they also promoted many han.


    Xie Chengze has an organization under him, which is specially used to monitor these Han officials. Whoever¡¯s situation is not right where they could betray the Yan will be captured by Xie Chengze!


    It¡¯s said that many pretended to seek refuge in Yan Country, but in fact, they worked for DaQi, and they were all captured and killed by Xie Chengze!


    Of course, another reason people dislike Xie Chengze is because Xie Chengze looks ugly. No one wants to take another glance at him.


    ¡°It¡¯s him again!¡±


    ¡°Who is he going to capture this time?¡±


    ¡°Keep your voice down¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone whispered. In the end, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bodyguard, Hu Zi, spoke: ¡°Xie Chengze is leaving.¡±


    Xie Chengze is leaving? It¡¯s over?


    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There are also those who are brave enough to come to the window to look at the situation.


    Lu Yanzhou also followed, hiding behind Hu Zi, and looked down secretly.


    There were many people on the street before, but now there were no pedestrians at all. Only some men in black stood there, and among those people, there was one person who was very different.


    He has a strong aura brimming with fierceness, and his face looked even more terrifying.


    A dark red birthmark covered most of his face with scaly lines on his cheeks.


    Such a face coupled with sharp eyes, Xie Chengze looked like an evil spirit.


    The people around Lu Yanzhou gasped in fright. Lu Yanzhou also ducked back.


    Xie Chengze in this world still has a physical problem. With a birthmark like this and always misunderstood as a spy, he doesn¡¯t know how much bitterness he has to accept and how much he suffers.


    Lu Yanzhou wished he could hug and comfort him.


    But he can¡¯t do that.


    ¡°Surnamed Xie, you must die!¡± A hoarse voice pierces the sky, but is interrupted by another ¡®bang¡¯.


    This is someone who was rushing out to try to assassinate Xie Chengze but was killed by Xie Chengze.


    After killing, Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t change at all. He only coldly said: ¡°Go.¡±


    They followed closely until Xie Chengze got into a car and went away, then the man in black behind dragged out several corpses from the house beside. Then they talked with the people from the patrol group who came late.


    The people on the street moved again, they came and went in a hurry. Someone drew out the water and cleaned up the bloodstains left by dragging those corpses.


    After the bodies were removed, everyone went back to normal.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s complexion was still a little ugly. However, some of the people around him have already returned to normal.


    All these years, fights and killing happen all the time. Dead bodies were not uncommon even for young people like them.


    Let¡¯s just talk about winter, which day in Chongcheng¡¯s street under the sky did no children freeze to death?


    ¡°Little young master, it¡¯s all right now.¡± Hu Zi said to Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°I know¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou stood up, ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well, I want to go home.¡±


    Encountering such a thing, others were also not in the mood to eat anymore. Seeing that Lu Yanzhou was leaving, they also expressed their desire to leave, even the person who is monitoring the original owner also felt the same.


    Since they were leaving¡­Lu Yanzhou looked at Hu Zi: ¡°Hu Zi, pack up the rest of the meal and give it to the beggars on the side of the road.¡±


    He spent 10 yuan on this dinner, as a result of everyone talking and only eating a few mouthfuls, there are still quite a lot left.


    If other people also don¡¯t eat, he will just pack it and give it to those who will eat later.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou said this, everyone praised him for his kindness.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I can¡¯t go to the front to kill the enemy, so I will just do what I can to help those poor people.¡±


    Everyone sighed again.


    During this time, Hu Zi has already brought some oiled paper and packed what can be packed on the table. After packing, he put it in a bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was sent by the hotel.


    Taking these, Lu Yanzhou walked out of the restaurant gate. At this moment, the outside was bustling with pedestrians. It¡¯s no longer apparent that someone died here before.


    He doesn¡¯t know where Xie Chengze is right now.

 CH 45

    On the original historical trajectory, when the original owner saw Xie Chengze killing, he was taken back, but because he believed that Xie Chengze was a good person, when others scolded Xie Chengze, he helped defend Xie Chengze. He also asked his classmates about Xie Chengze after, then secretly went to find Xie Chengze¡­It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t know that everything he did was seen by Yan¡¯s spy around him.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou won¡¯t do these things.


    For Xie Chengze¡¯s safety, he must stay away from Xie Chengze.


    In this world, he will have no connection with Xie Chengze, and with the two having no chance to get along, there shouldn¡¯t be anymore accidents like the first two worlds?


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou smiled wryly, then he started thinking about other things.


    He can¡¯t get close to Xie Chengze, but he also can¡¯t let Xie Chengze die. Xie Chengze must be protected!


    Besides, he also has to accumulate merits.


    When he accumulates enough merit for Xie Chengze to heal his face, he can also get away from the Yan¡¯s¡­


    There are quite a lot of things to do, so Lu Yanzhou took Hu Zi away with a sullen look.


    Lu Yanzhou took Hu Zi with him to the original owner¡¯s small house next to the high school he attended.


    The original owner originally lived in the Lu mansion with his parents and family, but after being persuaded to join Jinyiwei half a year ago, he moved out to live alone. This also makes it more convenient for Hei She to contact him.


    However, a few days ago when the original owner lived in the Lu mansion, Hei She died in his small house.


    Hei She came to Chongcheng to preside over half a year ago. At that time, many DaQi officials took refuge in Yan Country. Among them are also the senior officials of Jinyiwei. As a result, Jinyiwei command station in Chongcheng was wiped out.


    The emperor was furious. Afterwards, Jinyiwei Commander arranged for Hei She and another group of people to come to Chongcheng together to collect information and rebuild Chongcheng Command Station.


    However, not long ago, Yan¡¯s spy somehow knew Hei She¡¯s identity. They were trying to capture Hei She, so he was tracked down.


    During that incident, Hei She jumped into the river and barely survived. Then he found the original owner and told the original owner about Xie Chengze, then he died.


    The original owner is timid. He was shocked when he saw an acquaintance die in front of him. In a panic, he asked Hu Zi to dispose of Hei She¡¯s body¡­


    Hu Zi is very reliable. He threw Hei She¡¯s body back into the river, so now except for Hu Zi, no one knew that Hei She met the original owner before he died.


    The original owner was targeted mainly because during the past six months, the editor-in-chief of a certain newspaper met Hei She¡¯s hidden identity several times.


    The original owner¡¯s father has some status in Chongcheng, so there were also spies lurking beside him. After this happened, people pay attention to him even more closely.


    This Yan¡¯s spy who was friends with the original owner, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t do anything to him for the time being. At this stage, he needs to hide his identity.


    As for Xie Chengze¡­


    The original owner didn¡¯t know much, but after reviewing the original owner¡¯s memory, Lu Yanzhou can guess that Xie Chengze was probably facing a lot of danger now.


    If Xie Chengze¡¯s identity is exposed, there¡¯s only one dead end.


    Hei She and Xie Chengze didn¡¯t pass information face to face before. Xie Chengze will put the information he has collected in a specific place, then make a mark near the newspaper office where Hei She works at. After Hei She saw the mark, he will go get the information.


    Now that something happened to Hei She, this handover method has also been exposed so it can no longer be used. The original owner didn¡¯t have a way to contact Xie Chengze, that¡¯s why he rashly approached Xie Chengze.


    For Xie Chengze¡¯s safety, he can¡¯t tell others about Xie Chengze¡¯s ¡®Zhaojun¡¯ identity. Now he can¡¯t contact Xie Chengze for the time being, it¡¯s better to let Xie Chengze lie low temporarily.


    There¡¯s also the Chongcheng Command Station established by DaQi in Chongcheng¡­


    There are about a hundred Jinyiwei spies in the entire Chongcheng Command Station, and a hundreds more they developed along located in various industries.


    Among these people, those who know about Hei She and his hidden identity amount to three people. They are the stationmaster and the two deputy stationmasters.


    The one who exposed Hei She identity should be among these 3 people.


    The only thing Lu Yanzhou can be sure of now is that the stationmaster of Chongcheng Command Station didn¡¯t betray them yet because when the original owner was arrested in the previous trajectory, the stationmaster was also arrested. He said all he can say after being beaten badly.


    At that time, the original owner confessed after being beaten a few times but this stationmaster is different. He was beaten for ten days before confessing. At that time, he was all out of shape. He didn¡¯t have it easy at all.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to find a way to contact the stationmaster first, then he will use Shancha identity to provide information for the other party.


    Lu Yanzhou thought of everything he could think of, then he started to exercise and get used to his body.


    The original owner¡¯s father was born in a gang. When the original owner was young, he found someone to teach the original owner boxing kung fu. It¡¯s a pity that the original owner doesn¡¯t like to learn these things, so his ability is average.


    Fortunately, there are very few means of transportation in this era. Although the original owner had a car, the original owner usually ran around on his feet or bicycles. Their school also organizes many activities¡­Although the original owner was only 18 years old, he was tall and big with muscles.


    However, that¡¯s not enough muscle.


    Lu Yanzhou practiced seriously.


    At the same time, the place in Chongcheng where the Yan¡¯s occupied, Chongcheng Secret Service Bureau under Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau jurisdiction, someone is talking about Hei She.


    Yan Country has two Intelligence Bureau.


    One of them became known as the ¡®Secret Service Bureau¡¯. The entire Secret Service is composed of Han. Most of them were those who were instigated to rebel by the Yan to capture the Han spies. These people were especially good at catching DaQi spies. Their main job is also to fight against DaQi¡¯s Jinyiwei.


    Another one is the ¡®Inspection Department¡¯ managed by Xie Chengze. The Inspection Department is different from the Secret Service. There are many Yan people in it. The Inspection Department was mainly to monitor those Han officials who work for Yan Country.


    The Secret Service and Inspection Department have the same status, but because there are many Yan people in the Inspection Department, the Secret Service seem lower than the Inspection Department.


    Xie Chengze had previously investigated a traitor, and found out that they belonged to the Secret Service. Even if his attitude were bad, people from the Secret Service could only accept it.


    At this time, Bureau Chief Li from the Secret Service was talking to someone: ¡°Did you check everyone that has some connection with Hei She for the past six months? Is there any problem?¡±


    ¡°Most people have been checked, and the others are being followed. So far no issues have been found.¡±


    ¡°How about Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son?¡±


    ¡°Our informant has been watching him. So far no abnormalities have been found.¡±


    ¡°Keep monitoring. Even if he has nothing to do with Hei She, it¡¯s also good to find something against the Lu family.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°What about Zhaojun identity? Do you have any idea?¡± Bureau Chief Li asked.


    ¡°Not yet. This person hides very deeply. However, according to the information Chongcheng Command Station deputy station master confessed, Zhaojun may be a member of our Secret Service.¡±


    They planned to do something to Chongcheng Command Station before but it wasn¡¯t successful. The reason was because Zhaojun informed Chongcheng Command Station in advance of what they were going to do.


    Since Zhaojun can know about this, it¡¯s very likely that they were hiding in the Secret Service.


    However, they have investigated themselves several times but didn¡¯t find anyone problematic¡­


    A month ago, Secret Service captured one of DaQi¡¯s Chongcheng Command Station deputy station master. Through various means, they instigated him to betray.


    The deputy stationmaster also told them Hei She¡¯s identity.


    After receiving this information, they arranged their spy to follow Hei She for a period of time just to find ¡®Zhaojun¡¯. It¡¯s a pity that Hei She and Zhaojun had unilateral contact. Therefore, even though Zhaojun provided information to Hei She once during that time, they did not find out about Zhaojun¡¯s identity.


    Now that Hei She is dead, it¡¯s even more difficult for them to find out.


    Bureau Chief Li suddenly said: ¡°Find someone to keep an eye on Deputy Bureau Chief Sun, especially the women around him! Also keep an eye on those people who also have access to the information that Zhaojun provided before, the women around them also can¡¯t be ignored!¡± Bureau Chief Lu has a bad relationship with Deputy Bureau Chief Sun in the Secret Service. He now suspects that Zhaojun is someone close to Deputy Bureau Chief Sun.


    ¡°Woman?¡±


    ¡°Zhaojun can go out with no problem¡­This Zhaojun is most likely a woman!¡± Bureau Chief Li said, ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate women. Yan Country also has many powerful female spies!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    On the other hand, Xie Chengze had just returned to the Inspection Department not long ago.


    Xie Chengze is the Section Chief of the Inspection Department. On the surface, the Inspection Department is completely managed by him, but he actually has to listen to Yan people.


    Fortunately, for various reasons, Yan Country trusts him very much.


    At this moment, someone from the General Intelligence Bureau from Yan Country was using Yan¡¯s dialect to scold Xie Chengze for going to Xi occupied area to kill people. It was too much that people in Xi¡¯s occupied area came to ask them to be held accountable.


    Xie Chengze listened respectfully. After listening, in fluent Yan¡¯s dialect, he said: ¡°Mr. Tian, it¡¯s my fault. However, if I won¡¯t even dare to catch that man back when he ran to Xi¡¯s occupied area, then what will be of my great Yan¡¯s face?¡±


    Xie Chengze has a bad reputation and is very cold outside, but at this moment, he was extremely respectful.


    Colonel Tian really liked his attitude, in the end, he didn¡¯t blame him much.


    After all, the well-known ¡®traitor¡¯ in front of him is in fact someone from Yan Country. He¡¯s their people.


    Toward their own people, they were more tolerant.


    Xie Chengze appeases Colonel Tian, then everyone went back to their residences to rest.


    After sending everyone around him out, lying in bed, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help feeling anxious.


    Yan¡¯s has made a lot of moves recently. He has optioned some valuable information that will not reveal his identity, but he couldn¡¯t send it out.


    Something happened to Hei She.


    Now he can only lie dormant, waiting for someone to wake him up.


    It¡¯s autumn now, after Lu Yanzhou exercised a bit, he was covered in sweat.


    He scrubbed himself simply, changed his clothes, then called Hu Zi to go out together. Taking the meals he packed before, he gives them to homeless children and old people in Chongcheng.


    During wartime, the weak were always bullied. As a result, children and old people often died of cold and starvation. Women were also sold as goods. Even low-level men are not regarded as human. Every year, it wasn¡¯t known how many people were dragged to the front line as cannon fodder.


    Lu Yanzhou gave away the packed food, then went to the nearby restaurant, spending a silver coin for a great meal.


    He must play the original owner¡¯s role well, he can¡¯t show his feet. The original owner¡¯s consumption has always been high.


    As for giving people food, that¡¯s all right. The original owner has also done this kind of thing before.


    After eating, Lu Yanzhou returned to his residence and take out the original owner¡¯s textbook to study.


    He went out for a lap, seeing that no one was following him, this is good news to him.


    He can go out tonight to meet Jinyiwei Chongcheng Command stationmaster. He can tell them about Hei She¡¯s accident and make it clear that there are traitors in the Intelligence Bureau!

 CH 46

    There is curfew in Chongcheng, so there are people patrolling the streets at night, no one is allowed to move around at will.


    However, this curfew is useless to those with money and power.


    It¡¯s not easy for Lu Yanzhou to go out at night, but after the original owner became a member of Jinyiwei Chongcheng Command Station, and with Hei She assistance, a lot of preparatory work was done.


    At this time, the intelligence personnel will prepare a lot of camouflage supplies for themselves, forge their identities, and rent some houses specially to store these things and hide them after their identities are exposed. Such a house is called a safe house.


    The original master¡¯s professional ability is not very good, but the preparation work is sufficient.


    In the previous 6 months, with the excitement of becoming a spy, he prepared three safe houses.


    With Hei She assistance, he bought these three houses with different identities.


    Hei She was not caught when he died, so the three safe houses could still be used.


    Hu Zi is already asleep. Lu Yanzhou took out the binoculars and looked around. After making sure that there¡¯s no one around watching, he creeps quietly into the river behind the original owner¡¯s house.


    His house was also picked by Hei She. It is in a good location with not a lot of monitors around the places, and there¡¯s also a river behind the house.


    When Hei She was heavily injured before, he came up from this river.


    The original owner can swim, but his skill is not very good. Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou is very good at swimming.


    However, he can¡¯t swim out tonight¡­Lu Yanzhou carried a breathing hose and went under the river for a while, then quietly came up and went into the safe house he bought on shore.


    This safe house was arranged by Hei She.


    Hei She is a very good spy. The house is well furnished. The information he revealed to people around vaguely is that a pair of mandarin duck husband and wife bought this place for vacation.


    When he did this, Hei She also brought a woman here to wander around before.


    When Lu Yanzhou entered the house, he noticed that there were a lot of things in the house. There¡¯s men and women¡¯s clothes, there¡¯s even cosmetics for women.


    Even if someone came in to search, they won¡¯t find any problem.


    The original owner didn¡¯t come here anymore after finishing the arrangement. However, Hei She must have been here many times.


    How is this the original owner¡¯s safe house, this is clearly Hei She safe house.


    Hei She is very cautious, also very good at controlling people¡¯s hearts. The original owner had been used by him before to give them money and materials. Such a person, he naturally knows that the original owner is unreliable, but he still told the original owner about Xie Chengze¡¯s identity¡­


    He didn¡¯t consider Xie Chengze¡¯s safety at all.


    It¡¯s autumn now and it¡¯s going to be winter soon. The river is cold, so Lu Yanzhou just briefly wiped his body, then put on the thick concealing clothes and started the disguise.


    He thickens his waist and arms, wears special thick-soled shoes, then darkens his whole face with black cosmetic powder.


    ¡­¡­


    After he did all this, Lu Yanzhou put on a big hat, then left this safe house and went down the alley.


    Although there is curfew, ordinary residential areas aren¡¯t very strictly controlled. First, there is not enough manpower for patrolling. Second, some places have a lot of people and there¡¯s no toilet in the house, and everyone also needs to go out to release themselves.


    Almost a year old, DaQi¡¯s Chongcheng Command Station was once taken over by Yan¡¯s Secret Service. Many of the last batch of Chongcheng Command Station were not receiving salary from Yan¡¯s Secret Service, serving Yan people.


    Most people can¡¯t stand torture, so once they can¡¯t stand it, they confess. they can only surrender to the enemy and stand on the opposite side DaQi after.


    Because of this, more than half a year ago when DaQi¡¯s Chongcheng Command Station was rebuilt, it works differently than before. The stationmaster won¡¯t control everything. Instead, the stationmaster and the two deputy stationmasters will lead some people to carry out work without interfering with each other.


    Besides, there¡¯s also Hei She, who was acting independently.


    Because of this, after the Secret Service instigated a deputy stationmaster, they did not wipe out all the people in Chongcheng Command Station.


    Hei She was found was also due to bad luck ¡ª the deputy stationmaster also knows that Hei She is in Chongcheng. After coming to Chongcheng, he happens to see Hei She.


    Hei She doesn¡¯t know the identity of Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s stationmaster and their hiding place, but Lu Yanzhou, who has the original owner¡¯s memory, knows.


    The original owner was imprisoned together with the stationmaster before his death, so he knows that this stationmaster opened a pig slaughterhouse in Chongcheng in order to hide his identity.


    In the sluaghthouse, pig blood and dung are flying all over the sky with a very bad smell. Everyone will take a detour without saying anything. In addition, being a spy will sometimes engage in assissination, so they are all about 40 to 50 strong people. Only by working in a slaughterhouse will they not arouse any suspicion to themselves.


    This pig slaughterhouse has not been discovered yet, but it won¡¯t be long before it¡¯s revealed. After that, the stationmaster will lead people to escape, then find an opportunity to assassinate several Yan¡¯s officials. However, with no hiding place, they were eventually caught.


    ¡­¡­


    Lu Yanzhou came near the pig slaughterhouse, then quickly approached it.


    He was a member of the special forces in his first life. Although most of his abilities are sealed now, his eyesight and hearing are still better than ordinary people. With his extraordinary vigilance, there¡¯s no sound in his movement.


    Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s stationmaster is named Zhu Haifeng. He used to be a scholar. Later, because his parents died at the hands of foreigners, he abandoned his brush and joined the army, then became a spy.


    In those 5 years before he came to Chongcheng, he had caught many Yan¡¯s spies lurking in DaQi. After coming to Chongcheng, he even assassinated many Yan people and DaQi¡¯s officials who surrendered to Yan people.


    No matter how one looks at it, this is a strong man.


    However, Yan Secret Service¡¯s torture methods are really appalling. After he was caught, he could not even wish for death. In the end, all willpower was destroyed. The original owner, who was captured that time, saw how he had turned into a wooden and bloody man that would answer whatever was asked.


    But now Zhu Haifeng hasn¡¯t been tortured yet. There are many spies around, Lu Yanzhou felt that if he went up rashly, this wooden warehouse may collapse.


    Coming to the door, Lu Yanzhou began to knock on the door with a certain pattern.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Someone asked.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hide anything, with a change of voice, he said: ¡°I am Shancha, something happened to Hei She.¡±


    When the door opened, Lu Yanzhou was facing the wooden warehouse, while the other looked behind him warily.


    The area around the slaughterhouse is relatively empty. Soon, someone said: ¡°There¡¯s no one out there.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s attitude towards Lu Yanzhou became better.


    Lu Yanzhou pulled down the brim of his hat: ¡°I want to see Zhu Haifeng.¡±


    Zhu Haifeng¡¯s hidden identity in Chongchange isn¡¯t this name! Hearing Lu Yanzhou call out his name, these men confirm his identity and soon he was brought in front of Zhu Haifeng.


    Zhu Haifeng is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has a big beard with rough looks, very much like a pig butcher.


    It¡¯s nearly dawn now, it won¡¯t be long before they start killing pigs so they were all well dressed.


    Zhu Haifeng asked: ¡°You are Shancha? What happened to Hei She?¡±


    Hei She mission is independent from Chongcheng Command Station. Zhaojun and Shancha¡¯s identities were in Hei She¡¯s hand, so Chongcheng Command Station knew nothing about them. They only know that there are these two people too. As for Hei She¡¯s accident, they didn¡¯t know anything yet.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°A few days ago, Hei She was discovered by the Secret Service. He was killed during the hunt. I have been lurking for a few days and just received the news from Zhaojun, it was only then did I know that it was a deputy stationmaster of Chongcheng Command Station who had joined the enemy. However, who the traitor is is still not clear.¡±


    ¡°Do you have contact with Zhaojun?¡± Zhu Haifeng frowned. Jinyiwei doesn¡¯t allow their spies to establish ties with each other, especially with Zhaojun¡¯s special status, he doesn¡¯t even know who Zhaojun is. How can Shancha, who doesn¡¯t know anything, get in contact with Zhaojun?


    ¡°Before Hei She died, he arranged for me to be the person to contact Zhaojun.¡±


    If this is the case, that¡¯s in line with the rules. Zhu Haifeng asked: ¡°Is the information true?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m only responsible for providing information. Is it true or not is for you to check!¡±


    Zhu Haifeng took a deep look at Lu Yanzhou, then asked again: ¡°How did you know this place?¡±


    Zhu Haifeng used to be a scholar, his family background is also good. Before coming to Chongcheng, he was very particular about basic necessities in life, but after coming to Chongcheng, he even started to kill pigs¡­he felt that his peers would have never thought of this.


    ¡°Hei She found it.¡± Lu Yanzhou replied.


    ¡°And who are you?¡± Zhu Haifeng asked.


    ¡°I can¡¯t tell you. Only I know Zhaojun¡¯s identity now, my confidentiality level is no lower than yours.¡± Lu Yanzhou was covered from head to toe. In the dim candle night, they really couldn¡¯t see his appearance clearly.


    After hearing what he said, Zhu Haifeng didn¡¯t ask any more questions.


    It¡¯s just that he thought that the Shancha in Hei She hand was just someone who had money, but now it seems, this Shancha is not so simple.


    ¡°Take care of the traitor problem as soon as possible. Don¡¯t let them follow the clues and find more clues. Give me another way to send information too.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Zhu Haifeng said, then tell him one of his subordinates¡¯ information points: ¡°If you have any more information, you can go to Laohai Western Food on Fengqi Road and ask for a deep-fried pork cutlet. Tell him to cut it into small pieces and pack it, then ask him if he is from Wanxi¡­¡±


    If the Secret Service knows about their site, they don¡¯t need to make such trouble, they could just come to capture them directly, so Zhu Haifeng didn¡¯t doubt Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity.


    ¡°Okay. See you next time.¡± Lu Yanzhou nodded towards Zhu Haifeng, then left.


    Watching Lu Yanzhou leave, Zhu Haifeng looked at the people around him: ¡°Immediately send a message to the two deputy stationmasters informing them of a group meeting¡­Make it two different places, we¡¯ll make an ambush!¡±


    As a station master, Zhu Haifeng only has one-way contact with the other two to give them tasks. Of course, he can also ask them to meet.


    He chose two different places. If he said that it will be a tripartite group meeting that they have to come over, the person who had joined Yan¡¯s Secret Service will definitely report this to the Secret Service. The Secret Service will definitely arrange people to ambush them then. They will be a turtle caught in an urn1To make themselves easy targets, teaching the Secret Service a lesson!


    Their intelligence station has not been able to collect much information. He has been reprimanded several times already. Now that the deputy station master even joins the enemy, he will be implicated too. He can only do this as atonement.


    Regarding Chongcheng Command Station situation, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know.


    After notifying Chongcheng Command Station, he went back the way he came. Going back home, he started thinking about his next move.


    The original owner was arrested three months later, he also knew about certain actions of the Yan¡¯s in the next 3 months. For example, half a month later, Yan¡¯s army will launch a surprise attack on a certain place that will kill ten thousand of their soldiers.


    This is all important information. Xie Chengze¡¯s identity isn¡¯t revealed yet, so Lu Yanzhou planned to wait a few more days, then go to Chongcheng Command Station to send the information and said that it was Zhaojun who got it.


    He can¡¯t contact Xie Chengze for the time being, but he can give Xie Chengze more credit, making DaQi feel that Zhaojun is very important and Yan¡¯s people unable to find Zhaojun¡¯s true identity.


    Besides, Lu Yanzhou intends to contact the other side.


    Now in DaQi, in addition to DaQi¡¯s army that was fighting against Yan¡¯s army, there are also some people with knowledge and experience that prevent internal fight and resistance against DaQi.


    That force was called the Self-Defense Regiment.


    DaQi¡¯s army was large in number and well equipped, but many generals were just soft eggs that didn¡¯t dare to face Yan¡¯s army. From time to time, some people will also take their soldiers to seek refuge in Yan¡¯s Country.


    For example, the current mayor of Chongcheng. He was a senior official of DaQi before.


    On the contrary, the Self-Defense Regiment is more brave.


    They don¡¯t have equipment nor supplies, but they have been fighting to the death with the Yan. There¡¯s ten thousand people from the Self-Defense Regiment blocking the Yan expansion to the west near Chongcheng.


    Half a month later, the soldiers that Yan¡¯s army ambushed are in fact this Self-Defense Regiment.


    When this Self-Defense Regiment had just been replenished was ambushed by Yan¡¯s Army, most of them were dead and countless civilians who covered them were killed. Blood stained the mountain red, the situation was dire.


    Because of this, DaQi¡¯s border is now blocked by Yan Country, supplies couldn¡¯t enter. The only part available is the southeast ¡ª that opening where supplies can be purchased were controlled by DaQi. However, the medicines obtained were given priority to DaQi¡¯s army. Therefore, the Self-Defense Regiment¡¯s wounded soldiers can only stop their bleeding with plant ash.


    Countless young fighters died as a result! Many of them were from other provinces with sickle and hoe, coming all the way from thousands of miles to fight against the Yan!


    After this war, the remaining Self-Defense Regiment had to hide in the mountain, relying on local people to cover to fight guerrilla warfare with the Yan.


    As a result, when winter comes, they don¡¯t have clothes to keep warm, not even a grain and salt. How many people died of freezing and starvation was unknown.


    No matter what, Lu Yanzhou will avoid this outcome.


    As for the reason he didn¡¯t rush to tell Zhu Haifeng, it¡¯s because the Self-Defense Regiment once resisted DaQi rule. DaQi also hated the Self-Defense Regiment very much, so knowing that something will happen to the Self-Defense Regiment doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that they will help.


    Not to mention, there are also spies lurking in the upper echelons of the DaQi.


    This information should be handed over to the Self-Defense Regiment as soon as possible, then when the time comes, he will just tell the Chongcheng Command Station.


    Now all he has to do is find the person who can contact the Self-Defense Regiment.


    The Self-Defense Regiment is too poor.


    DaQi can established a special intelligence station in Chongcheng and organized assassnation of the Yan people. Zhu Haifeng and the others are not short of weapons and money, even low-level Yan people can be bribed, but the people in the Self-Denfense Regiment even have to support themselves.


    Therefore, the number of people from the Self-Defense Regiment lurking in Chongcheng is very small. They stay in Chongcheng only to understand the international situation. Of course, it would be better if they could get some medicine from Chongcheng and send them back.


    Fortunately, after the original owner was arrested by the Secret Service, he met a member of the Self-Defense Regiment in the Yan Country Secret Service.


    That person was discovered by Yan people through Xie Chengze.


    At first, Yan people arrested him because he bought a large amount of contraband in Chongcheng, that is, medicines, but it didn¡¯t take long before Xie Chengze found an opportunity to let him go.


    Later, it was discovered that Xie Chengze was a spy, so he was naturally arrested again.


    At that time, the Secret Service thought that this person belonged to the Chongcheng Command Station, but no one at the Chongcheng Command Station knew him. It was only then did they know that he was originally from the Self-Defense Regiment.


    But before the Secret Service could interrogate this person, Xie Chengze blew up the Secret Service.


    This person hasn¡¯t been targeted for buying medicine yet, so Lu Yanzhou plans to find him.


    T/N: Yan Guoren this Daqi Guo that, I take off the Guo(country/nation/state) from these two _(:3?¡Ï)_

 CH 47

    The pig slaughterhouse was quite far away, so when Lu Yanzhou returned home, it was almost dawn.


    He didn¡¯t sleep but took a shower, then went out to school with Hu Zi.


    The original owner is very popular in school. He is loyal and rich, so his classmates are all willing to make friends with him.


    Therefore, as soon as Lu Yanzhou arrived at the school, many people surrounded him and talked about the current situation together. They also mentioned that Xie Chengze went to the Xi Country occupied area to kill people.


    ¡°Yan¡¯s people are getting more and more arrogant, and they don¡¯t take the Xi Country occupied area seriously anymore.¡±


    ¡°The most scary thing is that Xi Country didn¡¯t respond at all.¡±


    ¡°Are they afraid of Yan¡¯s people?¡±


    ¡°Is Xi Country occupied area going to be safe in the future?¡±


    ¡­


    Xi Country was indifferent to the fact that Yan¡¯s people came to their territory to kill people. They obviously didn¡¯t want to have any conflict with Yan¡¯s people. Seeing that Yan¡¯s people are getting more and more arrogant, what are they going to do?


    When Lu Yanzhou heard the words, he said some things that the original owner would normally say, and even cursed at the traitor. His behavior was no different from the past.


    At this moment, a young man in his twenties came to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side: ¡°Brother Lu, you don¡¯t look very well recently, what happened to you?¡±


    This young man is called Jiang Baichuan, he is the spy Yan Country hide among them.


    He was in charge of monitoring many students including the original owner in this high school, so he noticed the original owner¡¯s abnormality these few days.


    However, at this moment, he just thought that the original owner should only know Hei She. He didn¡¯t know that the original owner had a close relationship with Hei She, and had seen Hei She before his death.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯ve been a little uncomfortable recently.¡±


    ¡°Young Master Lu, why are you feeling unwell all of a sudden?¡± Someone came over and asked with concern.


    ¡°I¡¯m sick. I haven¡¯t had any energy for the past few days.¡± Lu Yanzhou held his chin, looking weak. The original owner saw Hei She¡¯s death with his own eyes, so he was a little dispirited a few days ago. He was busy all night last night, so today he is even more lethargic.


    ¡°Then young master Lu, you should have a good rest!¡±


    ¡°I also want to take a good rest, but my dad won¡¯t let me ask for leave.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Tao was very conniving towards the original owner, but he also set some rules for the original owner, such as not going to places like dance halls and casinos, or playing truant from school.


    Lu Tao felt that the school was a clean place, so the original owner won¡¯t get to learn bad things if he stayed in the school all the time.


    ¡°Your father is also doing it for your own good.¡±


    ¡°I know, I just feel a little uncomfortable when I¡¯m sick.¡± Lu Yanzhou sighed.


    Lu Yanzhou was a little uncomfortable at first, so he made a show of it deliberately, and then he lay down on the table and really fell asleep, which can be regarded as a good nap.


    After school was over in the afternoon, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s condition was considered to be a little better. Then he asked his classmates: ¡°I want to go to the bookstore to buy books, do you want to go with me?¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Students who have a good relationship with Lu Yanzhou responded one after another, and Jiang Baichuan was also one of them.


    Lu Yanzhou took them to a nearby bookstore.


    There are very few books that can be read nowadays, and the rare ones are certain novels imported from abroad.


    Lu Yanzhou bought a copy of ¡®La Traviata¡¯, then walked out yawning. Taking a few steps, he looked at a clinic not far away: ¡°I¡¯m exhausted. I¡¯ll go to the clinic to take a look. You guys go home first!¡±


    It was getting late now, seeing that Lu Yanzhou was going to the clinic, everyone left one after another, only Jiang Baichuan said: ¡°Brother Lu, let me go with you.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed without hesitation.


    There are many small clinics in Chongcheng, but the clinic in front of him was opened by a member of the Self-Defense Regiment that Lu Yanzhou wanted to contact.


    The man relied on this clinic as a cover to buy various medicines. No one noticed anything wrong until the Self-Defense Regiment was attacked, and the number of wounded people increased and the medicines needed increased, so he was targeted by Yan¡¯s people.


    Lu Yanzhou came to the clinic to see a doctor, but he didn¡¯t see him. There was only a western medicine doctor in his thirties. This man took a look at Lu Yanzhou and charged one yuan for the consultation, then he only told Lu Yanzhou to rest more.


    After that Lu Yanzhou just left. When he left, he complained to Jiang Baichuan: ¡°The doctors in this clinic are not capable at all. I feel that he is not as good as the doctor my father found for me. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t want to go back to the old house. In the old house, they all fuss over me.¡±


    This can be regarded as explaining why the original owner suddenly moved from the old house a few days ago¡­


    Lu Yanzhou treated Jiang Baichuan to a meal before returning home. He slept at home, then went down the river again, changed his clothes, and came near the clinic.


    He had observed the terrain of the clinic during the day, and came to try his luck at night.


    Lu Yanzhou originally planned to contact the owner of the clinic with his real identity, but Jiang Baichuan kept a close eye on him during the day. Since he didn¡¯t see the person, he simply came over at night.


    This is also a good thing, if something happens, the original owner¡¯s family will not be affected.


    In the original historical trajectory, after the original owner was arrested, Yan¡¯s people also settled accounts with his family members. When they are caught, their end is naturally not good.


    The place where the clinic is located is relatively lively. There are people from the patrol building patrolling, but Lu Yanzhou hid in advance so no one found him.


    Even if he is found out, he has a backup plan ¡ª he can pretend that someone in his family is seriously ill, so he has to come out to find a doctor.


    There was a fence outside the clinic, and the iron gate was locked. Lu Yanzhou climbed over the wall and knocked on the back door of the clinic.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Someone from inside asked, the voice was the doctor who took a look at him in the afternoon.


    The person from the Self-Defense Regiment that the original owner knew was arrested after the original owner confessed. When the original owner died, the Yan¡¯s Secret Service did not have time to punish that person, so the original owner knew nothing about the secret code of the Self-Defense Regiment.


    Now this person doesn¡¯t seem to be in the clinic, there is only a doctor in the clinic, Lu Yanzhou can only say: ¡°I¡¯m here to buy medicine.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hearing is very good. As soon as he said this, he heard that something was wrong inside. Immediately afterwards, someone came out through the window, ready to escape.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± The doctor is quite vigilant, does this mean he is treating him as an enemy and is running away?


    Lu Yanzhou directly chased after him.


    Lu Yanzhou was very afraid that the other party would take out a gun. Fortunately, this person probably didn¡¯t use a gun because he was afraid of attracting more people. His strength is also not very good, so he was quickly subdued by Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Lu Yanzhou was the only one who realized that the situation was different from what he thought.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Let¡¯s talk in the house, you don¡¯t want to attract others, right?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has already confirmed that this person is the doctor who takes a look at him during the day. He should also be a member of the Self-Defense Regiment.


    The doctor had already been controlled by Lu Yanzhou, so he did not resist and brought Lu Yanzhou into the house.


    Lu Yanzhou waited for the door to close before letting him go: ¡°I have no malicious intentions.¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t have any malicious intentions, but you climbed over the wall to knock on the door? Who are you? What do you want to do?¡± the doctor asked.


    ¡°Are you from the Self-Defense Regiment?¡± Lu Yanzhou cut to the chase.


    The man immediately pulled out a gun and pointed it at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Don¡¯t take out this thing, I said I have no malicious intentions, our enemy is Yan Country.¡±


    The man did not put down the gun in his hand.


    Lu Yanzhou simply reported his code name: ¡°I am from Jinyiwei Chongcheng Command Station, codenamed Shancha, and I have important information to tell you.¡±


    DaQi doesn¡¯t like the Self-Defense Regiment, but since Yan Country became their foreign enemy, no matter what they think in their heart, the two sides have put aside their suspicions on the surface and united to fight against Yan Country.


    ¡°What do you want to say?¡± the man asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Our intelligence station has a spy lurking at the top of the Yan Country. He got a piece of information that Yan¡¯s people plan to launch an attack on the Self-Defense Regiment in fourteen days¡­¡±


    The battle was very tragic, so it was naturally published in the newspapers afterwards. Lu Yanzhou detailed the information the original owner had learned from the newspapers, and also mentioned the military equipment of Yan¡¯s army.


    The doctor opposite Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t move at all, but Lu Yanzhou got up to smear and lit the oil lamp in the room.


    Xi Country¡¯s occupied area is well developed. There is electricity here, so the clinics generally should have electric lights. However, this clinic doesn¡¯t even have an electric light. It¡¯s really poor.


    The newly lit oil lamp flickered on and off. Under the light, the doctor¡¯s face was extremely ugly.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I risk coming here not to lie to you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Said the doctor.


    He didn¡¯t ask how Lu Yanzhou found out about his identity. The people in the Chongcheng Command Station were already able to place spies in Yan Country higher power, so isn¡¯t it normal to find out their identities?


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome, after all our enemies are the same.¡±


    The doctor didn¡¯t refute, so Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°It¡¯s not easy for me to come here, so I¡¯ll tell you some important information that Zhaojun found.¡±


    The doctor was surprised: ¡°Is there more information?¡±


    The information Lu Yanzhou just said has already taken him by surprise. If there is more information¡­


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°This should not be considered information¡­it¡¯s the method of making penicillin and other medicines.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has been researching medicines in his previous life and has many prescriptions in his hand.


    It¡¯s a pity that there is a lack of experimental equipment and production equipment in the country.


    Nowadays, things from abroad cannot be shipped in at all. Even if they could be shipped in, high-end equipment could not be imported.


    At that time, in order to bring some experimental equipment back to the country, some people, who went to study abroad, had to disassemble them and bring them in batches, risking their lives!


    Therefore, even if Lu Yanzhou had a whole bunch of prescriptions, most of them were useless even if he gave them out.


    However, there are also medicine making methods that are barely usable, such as penicillin, that is penicillin1So the first word is ÅÌÄáÎ÷ÁÖ(pan in xi lin), which is a loanword, and the second one is ÇàùËØ (Qing mei su), the Chinese word for penicillin. It can be extracted by local methods.


    In this era, antibiotics are life-saving things, and penicillin is even more precious. If someone from the Self-Defense Regiment can produce penicillin, it will undoubtedly save countless lives.


    In addition, Lu Yanzhou also provided another sterilizing medicine that is more popular at this time. The production method of sulfonamide, and of course, the production methods of antipyretic and analgesic medicine are indispensable.


    ¡°After the penicillin is made, try to use it externally instead of injecting it. Also, it must go through a skin test first.¡± Lu Yanzhou explained in detail, and even wrote the formula on the spot.


    After the development of internet in the previous life, on some video platforms, some people posted videos of making penicillin using local methods.


    After trying more, most of these people will succeed. Lu Yanzhou believes that there should be someone from the Self-Defense Regiment who can make it.


    The penicillin produced like this might be unstable, so it¡¯s not suitable for injection, it¡¯s best to use it externally.


    The doctor also studied western medicine, however, what he studied had little to do with what Lu Yanzhou said, so he could barely understand it but he still kept it like it was a treasure.


    Those companies that developed these medicines have always kept the production methods of these medicines strictly confidential. It was really shocking that Zhaojun was able to find out!


    Lu Yanzhou talked a lot, so after seeing that the time was almost up, he left.


    After Lu Yanzhou left, the doctor didn¡¯t fall asleep. He waited until dawn, and then immediately went to find the person who opened the clinic, that is, the person who was arrested by the secret service after the original owner.


    That person is the nephew of the owner of a business firm, named Zhou Duzhong. He secretly joined the Self-Defense Regiment many years ago and has been raising supplies for the Self-Defense Regiment ever since.


    It¡¯s just that they were able to transport the medicine back before, but recently it has been very difficult.


    Lu Yanzhou thought that the doctor he saw was one of Zhou Duzhong¡¯s subordinates, but he didn¡¯t know that the situation was the other way around. This doctor was the one with the highest status among the many spies from the Self-Defense Regiment in Chongcheng.


    It is precisely because of this that he ran away immediately when he found out that something was wrong.


    At that time, if Lu Yanzhou was really an enemy, he would have committed suicide without hesitation.


    The doctor found Zhou Duzhong, and asked Zhou Duzhong to use the commercial telegram at home, and according to their code book, briefly inform the Self-Defense Regiment of the information he got last night.


    Immediately afterwards, the doctor said again: ¡°I want to leave Chongcheng, the sooner the better! I have some very important things in my hand that I must take back immediately!¡±


    The doctor told Zhou Duzhong what happened last night in detail, and said: ¡°Comrade Duzhong, I will trouble you to stay in the clinic for the rest of the time! That Comrade Shancha may come to the door again! The information he provided is too important, we must keep this point of contact!¡±


    The doctor is temporarily unable to determine whether the information is true or not, but he is leaning toward believing that the information is true.


    If this ¡®Shancha¡¯ is from Yan Country¡¯s side, then he and Zhou Duzhong would be captured directly without going through such trouble.


    ¡°I will!¡± Zhou DuZhong replied.


    After the two discussed it, Zhou Duzhong began to arrange for the doctor to leave.


    Nowadays, medicines and weapons are all contraband. It cannot leave Chongcheng, but people can leave.


    Before leaving, Zhou Duzhong exchanged his savings for gold and let the doctor take it away.


    Silver is too heavy to take away, as for banknotes¡­these things are worthless!


    After the DaQi issued banknotes, the people of Yan Country made counterfeit money to destroy DaQi¡¯s economy, and then¡­the counterfeit money made by Yan¡¯s people was even more refined than the real money made by the DaQi itself!


    Under such circumstances, paper money is not very good in the present.


    After returning home, Lu Yanzhou slept for a while, and then went to school as usual.


    After he traveled here, he has been very busy, and the only way to rest is at school ¡ª he slept another day.


    When he got home at night and finally didn¡¯t have to go out, Lu Yanzhou took out a pen and paper and began to write in English how to make penicillin and sulfonamides and other medicines.


    Of course, he couldn¡¯t just give such a thing to the Self-Defense Regiment, he also needed to give DaQi a share.


    He didn¡¯t give it before because he didn¡¯t have time to write it down and make it seem like it was stolen information. He didn¡¯t want the people at the Chongcheng Command Station to know that he knew medical skills.


    Now¡­


    Lu Yanzhou wrote dozens of pages in English and wrapped them in brown paper bags, intending to hand them over to the Chongcheng Command Station tomorrow.


    Compared with the Self-Defense Regiment, DaQi has a higher probability of producing medicines. Maybe they can build a pharmaceutical factory to mass-produce them. In this way, many of his compatriots will die less!


    On the third night in this world, Lu Yanzhou finally got a good night¡¯s sleep. He was refreshed when he went to school the next day.


    At this time, the doctor who met him the night before had left Chongcheng. On the other side, Zhu Haifeng also found the deputy stationmaster who had joined the enemy.


    He made an appointment with two deputy station chiefs. One of the deputy station chiefs came alone, and on the other side, there were people from the Secret Service ambushing ahead of time.


    Yan¡¯s Secret Service arranged for many people to come and try to catch Zhu Haifeng all at once. After Zhu Haifeng compared the strength of the two sides, he found that they could not fight here, so he had to give up his plan to encircle and suppress the Secret Service in the end.


    However, he took this opportunity to kill one of Yan¡¯s lieutenant commanders who was alone, so his preparation was not in vain.


    At the same time, he also cut off all contact with the deputy station master, who had joined the enemy, and saved himself, as well as the people under another deputy station master.


    Zhu Haifeng was scolded by the headquarters for several days because of such a big mistake as the deputy station master joining the enemy, until Shancha sent him a piece of information through the special contact point.


    The information was in English, so Zhu Haifeng¡¯s people who were proficient in English found out that it was the production method of some medicines after researching it!


    ¡°The methods of making these medicines are in Xi Country, how did Zhaojun get them?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Yan¡¯s people stole these from Xi Country, and Zhaojun brought them to us?¡±


    ¡°Who the hell is Zhaojun? How did he get such a thing? Will something happen?¡±


    ¡­


    The people at the Chongcheng Command Station were very worried.


    Zhaojun has always been the most valuable spy of the Chongcheng Command Station, but now it seems that Zhaojun is more valuable than they thought!


    If Zhaojun hadn¡¯t provided the information that the deputy station master had joined the enemy, their Chongcheng Command Station might have been destroyed again!


    And if the production methods of these medicines are real, they will not need to spend a lot of money to buy medicines from Xi Country in the future!


    Of course, such information cannot be clearly explained by sending a telegram. Zhu Haifeng arranged for someone to take it to the rear just like the response from the Self-Defense Regiment.


    Both the Chongcheng Command Station and the Self-Defense Regiment were very busy, but Lu Yanzhou finally had a good rest for a few days, so his complexion improved.


    To the outside world, he only said that his illness was cured.


    Lu Yanzhou sent information to Chongcheng Command Station by sending Hu Zi to send it, so in Jiang Baichuan¡¯s eyes, he never changed.


    Lu Yanzhou found that Jiang Baichuan wasn¡¯t strictly keeping an eye on him anymore.


    And now ten days have passed since he crossed over. Father Lu arranged for someone to pick him up, saying that he wanted to take him to a business party.


    Lu Yanzhou was not interested in business gatherings, but thinking that there would be no harm in getting to know more people, he finally agreed.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze also received news that Chongcheng Chamber of Commerce was going to hold a party.


    Their Inspection Department¡¯s duty is to help Yan¡¯s people keep an eye on everything and suppress all those organizations and activities that try to resist Yan Country.


    Such a party¡­Xie Chengze looked at the people around him: ¡°Go and inform them, I will be attending this party.¡±

 CH 48

    Lu Tao is already sixty years old. He has dark skin and three deep vertical lines between his eyebrows. He looks calm and majestic.


    However, when he saw Lu Yanzhou, his face had a big smile: ¡°AZhou, come here quickly.¡±


    ¡°Dad.¡± Lu Yanzhou stepped forward and called out with a smile.


    Lu Tao gave birth to three sons and two daughters, the original owner was the youngest one. He was also the only one born after Lu Tao quit the rivers and lakes, so he was the most loved by Lu Tao.


    Of course, this love is mainly manifested in giving the original owner more money and giving the original owner some good things. The original owner¡¯s two older brothers have long since set up their own home, so they don¡¯t really care about these things. They will even give money to the original owner just like Lu Tao, so the relationship between the people in this family is very good.


    ¡°Xiao Zhou, you are not young anymore, you will follow me more from now on. Your brother has already gone out on his own when they were your age.¡± How could Lu Tao not know what his son is like? ¡°This party will have many uncles. They will also bring their daughters and granddaughters there. You should meet more people.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was speechless for a moment. He was wondering why Lu Tao, who had never taken the original owner to such occasions before, suddenly wanted to take him there¡­It turned out that he turned eighteen now, so he wanted to take him on a blind date?


    ¡°Dad, a man should start a career before starting a family. I don¡¯t want to meet them.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Tao laughed loudly: ¡°Then if you haven¡¯t started a career, you won¡¯t start a family too?¡±


    Lu Tao didn¡¯t take Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words seriously at all. In fact, he was not in a hurry to get his son married. This time, he took him out purely to let his son see the world and show off his son.


    His son didn¡¯t do any great things, but he didn¡¯t do anything that he shouldn¡¯t do either. His academic performance is good, he can speak English very fluently, and he can be regarded as a young talent.


    Most importantly, his son looks good!


    He is an uncouth person and his wife, who is a few years younger than him, is also average-looking. However, for some reason, Lu Yanzhou, who his wife, an old oyster with a pearl in its heart1an idiom about someone who gave birth at old age, gave birth to, actually picked up all their good points and was very handsome.


    Lu Tao took Lu Yanzhou into the car and drove to the meeting place.


    On the way, he also instructed Lu Yanzhou earnestly: ¡°AZhou, the world is very chaotic, we have to think more before doing anything. Sometimes even if we hate others in our hearts, we can¡¯t show it on our faces¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew that Lu Tao hoped that he would not talk nonsense just because he hated Yan¡¯s people.


    Now the situation is complicated, if one is not careful, their whole family will suffer.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed with a little resentment.


    The car drove down two streets and stopped in front of a building.


    Lu Yanzhou has seen all kinds of large gatherings in modern times. The building in front of him is very small with not a lot of people in it, however, others obviously didn¡¯t think so.


    Lu Tao looked at Lu Yanzhou with some complacency: ¡°How is it? You¡¯ve never seen such a scene before, right?¡±


    Uh¡­he has seen such scenes a lot.


    Lu Yanzhou followed behind Lu Tao, greeted the people in the venue, and also accepted compliments from others by the way.


    On such occasions, no one would say anything unpleasant.


    Of course, it was inevitable that some people would bring their daughters and granddaughters for them to get to know each other.


    This is unnecessary, he only likes Xie Chengze.


    Just as Lu Yanzhou was thinking, there was a sudden commotion at the door.


    Everyone looked over together. Then, they saw a man in a black military uniform walking in with two people dressed like him.


    The face of the person walking in the front was covered with terrifying birthmarks, making him look extremely ugly, but it was also this face that made people know his identity at first glance.


    Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze, the section chief of the Inspection Department, the traitor and lackey who worked for Yan¡¯s people.


    The whole venue turned silent for a moment, then someone went up to greet Xie Chengze and welcomed Xie Chengze¡¯s arrival with a smile on his face.


    However, whether it is a real welcome or a fake welcome¡­only one person knows that it¡¯s definitely a fake welcome.


    Lu Tao looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Come with me to greet him, also don¡¯t talk much then.¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s expression was very serious, but when he brought Lu Yanzhou to Xie Chengze, he showed a smile: ¡°Section Chief Xie, long time no see! Thanks to Section Chief Xie¡¯s help, there¡¯s no problem with my batch of goods¡­Section Chief Xie, when you are free, you must allow me the honor to treat you to a meal!¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s cold gaze swept across Lu Tao¡¯s face, then stopped on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Lu Yanzhou lowered his head subconsciously, lest Xie Chengze notice something was wrong.


    Fortunately, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t look at him for long before quickly looking away: ¡°I¡¯m not free.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t give Lu Tao any face at all, but Lu Tao was not angry: ¡°Section Chief Xie is busy with work, so you should have no time, it¡¯s only right¡­¡±


    After greeting, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and led Lu Yanzhou to the corner.


    ¡°Dad, it seems that everyone is afraid of him?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°He is very unreasonable, a lunatic who wants to kill people if he doesn¡¯t like them, who is not afraid?¡± Lu Tao said.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t he only take care of those who betrayed Yan¡¯s people after taking refuge in them?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°It would be fine if it was just like that. Some people took refuge in Yan Country before and they did their best, however, because they didn¡¯t give him anything2This part is talking about giving a gift to their superior in order to win their favor, he took the opportunity to search their house.¡± Lu Tao said.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t answer.


    But¡­isn¡¯t this a good thing? Xie Chengze killed the people who took refuge in Yan Country!


    ¡°There are also people who are dissatisfied with Yan¡¯s people. If they fall into his hands, only death awaits them! You have to be careful if you meet him in the future, otherwise he will suddenly kill you and I won¡¯t be able to do anything about it!¡± Lu Tao warned his son.


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said: ¡°I will definitely stay far away from him!¡±


    While the Lu father and son were talking about Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze looked at the people around him: ¡°Who is that young man next to Lu Tao?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son.¡± Among the people Xie Chengze took today, there was someone who was in charge of dealing with the chamber of commerce. This person also knew something about the Lu family: ¡°It is said that Lu Tao dotes on his youngest son very much. However, his youngest son really isn¡¯t clear-headed, always talking bad about us.¡±


    ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes swept over Lu Yanzhou again. He lowered his head, feeling his heartbeat that has unconsciously accelerated.


    ¡°Section Chief, do you want to investigate him?¡±


    ¡°Investigating a kid, are you so free?¡± Xie Chengze sneered.


    The man lowered his head and didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore, but Xie Chengze continued: ¡°This little brat is quite handsome.¡±


    The people around Xie Chengze looked at Xie Chengze in surprise.


    Xie Chengze is a man who loves money very much. He usually does things like stealing other people¡¯s property.


    Although he was very indifferent to Lu Tao and the others, if Lu Tao and the others begged him with money to help them, he would probably help.


    In front of Yan¡¯s people, he could also lower his knees and flatter them to the fullest.


    Everyone in the Inspection Department and other places knew that Xie Chengze had two faces and was extremely hypocritical.


    But at the same time, Xie Chengze is very skilled, ruthless, and highly valued by Yan¡¯s people, so no matter how much everyone thinks he is not pleasing to the eye, no matter how much they think he is pretending to be aloof and indifferent, they still have to lowered their heads in front of him.


    He has never praised anyone¡¯s appearance before, but now he suddenly said that Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son is handsome¡­


    Xie Chengze has never been close to women, could it be that he prefers men?


    Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son looks about 17 or 18 years old, with a little childishness, clean eyes, and a tall figure. If he can hold such a person under his body, it should feel good?


    The person next to Xie Chengze was thinking about messy things when he suddenly met Xie Chengze¡¯s cold eyes: ¡°What are you thinking?¡±


    He lowered his head, not daring to think again: ¡°No¡­I didn¡¯t think about anything.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t stay at the Chamber of Commerce party for long, he soon left.


    As soon as he returned to the Inspection Department, someone came over, saying that Bureau Chief Li from the Secret Service came to see him.


    Sometimes the Secret Service Bureau and the Inspection Department jobs overlap, so the relationship between the two parties wasn¡¯t very good. Xie Chengze narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the person to come in.


    ¡°How come Bureau Chief Li has time to come see me?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Section Chief Xie, we recently learned something that is in need of the Inspection Department¡¯s help,¡± Director Li said.


    Ever since the Secret Service instigated Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s deputy station master and found out that there was a ¡®Zhaojun¡¯, they have been investigating that person, but unfortunately nothing has been found.


    Not long ago, Chongcheng Command Station seemed to find that something was wrong and cut off all contact with the deputy station master who became a traitor.


    Bureau Chief Li was reprimanded by his superior, then his superior asked him to ask Xie Chengze for help. In desperation, he had no choice but to come to the Inspection Department.


    After Bureau Chief Li explained his purpose, Xie Chengze said, ¡°We can help with this matter, but your information, Bureau Chief Li¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll send someone over tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Xie Chengze looked eager to try, ¡°I¡¯ll have someone check it tomorrow!¡±


    When Bureau Chief Li saw Xie Chengze like this, his face was not very good ¡ª this Xie Chengze clearly wanted to take credit from him!


    He must catch Zhaojun as soon as possible!


    The Secret Service Bureau and the Inspection Department worked together to investigate Zhaojun, it was inevitable that some unjust, false and wrong cases would appear.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinate would extort and capture some people who had nothing to do with the case.


    However, they all know that Xie Chengze loves money, so as long as someone does as Xie Chengze likes and gives enough money, their life is safe. After the money deal is over, Xie Chengze will split a bit to his subordinates and give some to his superior. Everyone is happy.


    As time passed, Lu Yanzhou asked Hu Zi to pass on the information that Yan¡¯s people were going to attack the Self-Defense Regiment to the people at Chongcheng Command Station. Then, he learned from his father that Xie Chengze had arrested a businessman surnamed Zhao from the Chamber of Commerce. They were raising money getting ready to redeem that person.


    That person was actually very innocent, he had nothing to do with spies or anything at all. He just happened to open a dance hall that several people, who knew about Zhaojun information, patronized his dance hall.


    ¡°Old Zhao has worked so hard to save his family fortune, after this incident, there is not much left!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s also his bad luck that he was targeted by Xie Chengze.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not bad if he can save his life. If Xie Chengze is unhappy, he won¡¯t be able to come back.¡±


    ¡­


    When Lu Yanzhou returned to the Lu family¡¯s old house, he heard his father and others sighing.


    He didn¡¯t sympathize with the old Zhao who opened the dance hall.


    In the dance halls in this period, there are many dirty things inside. He just doesn¡¯t know how many dirty activities have occurred there.


    Moreover, in this era, people without any influence, no matter whether they are opening a dance hall or factory or business, cannot continue to operate.


    There was once a man of insight who returned from overseas and wanted to save the country through industry. He lost everything just to set up a factory. Then someone from the government came to check every day and fined him for any issue found¡­


    His factory was open, he didn¡¯t make money but he lost money instead. It wasn¡¯t until he couldn¡¯t keep going and his senior official brother-in-law took over the factory, that he made a fortune.


    There are too many such things, even the Lu family¡­Lu Tao has made so much money these years because he has a good relationship with Xi Country.


    Although everyone hates Yan¡¯s people now, Xi Country also wasn¡¯t any good back then, so the Lu family was not innocent either.


    So Xie Chengze bullying the businessman surnamed Zhao couldn¡¯t be considered too wrong.


    It¡¯s just that Xie Chengze¡¯s behavior will undoubtedly offend the rich people in Chongcheng. Therefore, Xie Chengze will be shouted at and beaten by the public again.


    ¡°Dad, I want to buy ancient books, give me some money!¡± Lu Yanzhou approached Lu Tao.


    Lu Tao, who was talking to someone, frowned: ¡°Why do you want to buy ancient books again? You know that you can¡¯t eat or use those.¡±


    ¡°Those are treasures!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll write you a check¡­how much?¡± Lu Tao asked.


    ¡°Two thousand.¡± Lu Yanzhou opened his mouth and said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you one thousand at most.¡± Lu Tao wrote a check for one thousand, asking Lu Yanzhou to collect the money from the bank.


    ¡°Thank you, dad.¡± Lu Yanzhou took the money and left.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou leave, the person chatting with Lu Tao said: ¡°Brother Lu, your youngest son is worthy of being a man of culture, he actually likes ancient books.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that he likes ancient books, he just wants to find a reason to ask me for money! He¡¯s probably going to throw the money away again!¡±


    ¡°Throw it away?¡± someone was puzzled


    Lu Tao pretended to be dissatisfied, but in fact he was showing off a little: ¡°This kid has a very good heart, always inserting a foot in giving porridge or something to people.¡±


    Now there are no jobs in Chongcheng, many people who cannot feed themselves are facing starvation.


    Some rich people see them as pitiful, so they will go to give out porridge. His youngest son does this kind of thing a lot.


    Hearing what Lu Tao said, everyone praised Lu Tao again.


    After Lu Yanzhou took the money, he did indeed buy food and sent it to the porridge stand in Chongcheng.


    This porridge stand was established by Xi Country religion, so Yan¡¯s people also don¡¯t have problems with it. When Lu Yanzhou and others donated food, it indeed reached those people that needed it.


    Flour, rice, bean dregs, etc. are all boiled into a pot, and then taken out after cooling down a bit. People who come to drink porridge can each get a bowl and must drink it on the spot.


    Those who came to beg for porridge were generally very skinny, some children were as skinny as bones.


    Lu Yanzhou took Hu Zi and silently helped with the work.


    Many people in this era live like livestock. Those who have no ability to earn a living are miserable, and those who work in factories are not necessarily happy.


    They have to work even when they are sick, and there are also many private workers who can only eat pig food.


    Because it¡¯s too bitter, most people are already numb.


    ¡°What is Section Chief Xie looking at?¡± Not far away, Secret Service¡¯s Bureau Chief Li asked Xie Chengze beside him with great interest.


    Xie Chengze said straightforwardly: ¡°He looks good.¡±


    Bureau Chief Li was slightly taken aback, then looked at Xie Chengze, a little shocked.


    Xie Chengze took out a cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth and lit it: ¡°I like young people like this.¡±


    Under the sun, the 17 or 18-year-old youth rolled up his sleeves and was chopping firewood, working very seriously.


    Xie Chengze really liked Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son. He glanced at him from a distance at the party before, and then he couldn¡¯t forget him.


    He didn¡¯t intend to do anything, but he didn¡¯t mind showing it.


    He needs a weakness, and besides¡­It¡¯s a good thing that this little guy got his fancy.


    His enemies will sympathize with this little guy, but his ¡®friends¡¯ will not do anything to this person at will.


    Xie Chengze took a puff of smoke, and then looked at the youth chopping wood in the sun.


    He had lived a very fake life all his life, expectedly, he can also sincerely give his heart to someone, which caught him off guard.


    But Xie Chengze didn¡¯t stay where he was and left soon.


    He can show his interest in young master Lu, but he can¡¯t be too concerned. If he is too concerned, someone might use young master Lu to threaten him!


    At night, the Secret Service Bureau.


    Bureau Chief Li had a meeting with his own people and asked about the progress of the matter.


    Zhaojun¡¯s identity has not yet been found out, and the people they had suspected were all removed from their suspicions one by one.


    Suddenly remembering something, Bureau Chief Li asked: ¡°I remember you went to check on Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son? Is there anything unusual about him?¡±


    ¡°He has a lot of opinions about our Yan Country, but there¡¯s nothing unusual, he also doesn¡¯t go out to meet anyone.¡± Said someone.


    Lu Yanzhou was only 18 years old. He had been living in Chongcheng, so his experiences from childhood to adulthood are easily found. They didn¡¯t think that this person had anything to do with Hei She.


    Bureau Chief Li also didn¡¯t think that Lu Yanzhou will have anything to do with Hei She or Zhaojun, but this guy was really unlucky to catch Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes.


    That guy Xie Chengze is so ugly and a psychopath, he actually likes men.


    T/N: I still can¡¯t believe his problem this time is his appearance (:3_©c)_


    Being a few chap in but just wanna let you know Xi is West, so Xi Country is most likely west(ern) country but since the author didn¡¯t elaborate, I leaving Xi as Xi just like Yan and DaQi.

 CH 49

    Xie Chengze joined the operation to arrest Zhaojun in order to understand the situation as soon as possible.


    Anyway, he didn¡¯t have a liaison person recently, so he didn¡¯t need to provide information, therefore he didn¡¯t have to worry about revealing his secrets. He just has to work with the Secret Service to investigate ¡®Zhaojun¡¯.


    Maybe it can lead people from the Secret Service to suspect others.


    Xie Chengze planned well, but he never expected that after investigating Zhaojun for a few days, Zhaojun had provided another important piece of information to DaQi just a few days ago¡­


    Yan¡¯s long-planned encirclement and suppression operation against the Self-Defense Regiment suddenly failed. They were even ambushed by the Self-Defense Regiment in turn, causing heavy casualties.


    And according to the news sent back by the spies they placed at the top of the DaQi, their battle plan was sent to the DaQi after Zhaojun got it.


    In addition, Zhaojun also stole another important piece of information, which can be said to have alarmed all the senior officials in DaQi, but the specifics are not clear.


    There are many insiders in Yan Country that know about the information that Zhaojun stole before, but this time is different!


    Few people know about this battle plan!


    Zhaojun can even steal such information¡­Is he a high-ranking general or a combat staff officer?


    For a period of time, Yan Country hated this Zhaojun to death and made up their mind to catch this Zhaojun!


    Bureau Chief Li and Xie Chengze were found together by their boss, telling them to catch Zhaojun as soon as possible.


    Xie Chengze discussed this matter with the officer in fluent Yan¡¯s language, which made Bureau Chief Li beside him a little confused.


    Both the Secret Service and the Inspection Office are attached to Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau, but Bureau Chief Li has never been here with Xie Chengze before.


    It was the first time he knew that Xie Chengze spoke Yan¡¯s language so well, as if¡­he was from Yan Country.


    Wait, this Xie Chengze, wouldn¡¯t really be from Yan country, right?


    Compared to him, those Yan people trust Xie Chengze more, is this the reason?


    But¡­Didn¡¯t it say that Xie Chengze, like him, also betrayed DaQi, and he was even the son of an official from DaQi?


    Bureau Chief Li had a lot of thoughts, but when he saw Xie Chengze talking familiarly with other people from the Intelligence Bureau, he started scolding Zhaojun too.


    Those Yan people have always looked down on him, but they are so friendly to Xie Chengze, an ugly monster¡­Xie Chengze must have a background!


    Bureau Chief Li had been very dissatisfied with Xie Chengze before, and wanted to pull Xie Chengze down, so it would be better to control the inspection office. However, now he feels that he must have a good relationship with Xie Chengze, so as not to offend Yan¡¯s people.


    Xie Chengze did this on purpose, just to prevent Bureau Chief Li from suspecting him.


    As for why he has such a good relationship with those people from Yan country¡­Those people from Yan country thought that he was also from Yan country.


    But in fact he is not.


    His nominal father, an official from DaQi Dynasty surnamed Xie, was a spy who had been placed in DaQi by the Yan people very early on.


    The people of Yan State began to covet DaQi many years ago. They had arranged for many people to come to DaQi. Some surveyed the terrain in various places in DaQi, while some lived like ordinary people in DaQi, looking for opportunities to get information.


    The map drawn by the former is more perfect than the map drawn by the DaQi¡¯s people themselves. As for the latter¡­There are many Yan people who came to DaQi at the beginning, now they had become DaQi officials.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s father was one of Yan¡¯s spies who came to DaQi.


    He replaced a child from one of DaQi officials and grew up in DaQi, then married a wife and had children in the DaQi Country. He even took the imperial examination to become an official in DaQi.


    This man looked down on his Han wife. He was polite outside, but he beat and scolded his wife as soon as he got home. He vented all his negative emotions on her, even when his wife was pregnant, he never stopped.


    Later, while he was away, his wife gave birth prematurely to a stillborn baby.


    This woman was afraid that her husband would blame her, so she picked up another child, who was abandoned because of his ugly face, and simply took him home and raised him as her own child.


    That day, when the spy returned home and saw that his wife had given birth to such an ugly child, he, who already didn¡¯t like his wife very much, disliked the child even more.


    Because of this, Xie Chengze had a bad life since childhood. At that time, all he wanted was to take his mother away from his father.


    When Xie Chengze was eight years old, Yan Country arranged a special liaison for his father. His father, who had been lurking in DaQi for many years, officially became Yan¡¯s spy and began to provide information for Yan Country.


    His father was very excited because his value of life was realized. His attitude towards him was also much better, he was determined to train him to be a qualified spy for Yan country.


    This man instilled the thought of being loyal to Yan Country into Xie Chengze, forced Xie Chengze to learn Yan¡¯s language, and taught Xie Chengze various fighting skills¡­


    Xie Chengze is very smart, so he learns everything very well, which gives this person a great sense of accomplishment. His demands on Xie Chengze were getting higher and higher, and as long as Xie Chengze failed to meet the standards, he would be punished with flogging.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know his identity at first. He hated this person and also hated this person¡¯s blood that was flowing in his body.


    In the end, it was Xie Chengze¡¯s mother who couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.


    From the beginning to the end, this woman didn¡¯t know that her husband was from Yan country. She just couldn¡¯t stand to see Xie Chengze being beaten all the time, and she couldn¡¯t stand such a life, so she plan to sell her jewelry and run away with Xie Chengze.


    In order to let Xie Chengze leave without any pressure, she also told Xie Chengze about his birth.


    Although Xie Chengze was extremely excited, he hid his little thoughts very well after receiving years of teaching from his adoptive father, so he did not reveal anything unusual.


    However, he hid it well, but his adoptive mother showed her feet. His adoptive father saw that something was wrong, then his adoptive father killed his adoptive mother.


    That year, Xie Chengze was sixteen years old.


    His adoptive mother did not tell his adoptive father that he was not his adoptive father¡¯s child, so his adoptive father instilled in him some ideas such as that his adoptive mother was a Han and was inferior to them, and then began to train him again.


    Xie Chengze gave up on running away, but he contacted Hei She, who was not that powerful at the time, and told Hei She about his adoptive father and his life experience.


    Afterwards, Jinyiwei arrested his adoptive father, and he acted out a scene with Hei She, fleeing to Chongcheng, then entered Yan¡¯s Intelligence Department.


    In the outsiders¡¯ view, he is a Han, but Yan people think that he is their own people. It¡¯s because of this that he has secured the position section chief in the Inspection Department and got a chance to give out a lot of information to DaQi.


    His initial contact person was not Hei She, but one of Hei She¡¯s students.


    More than half a year ago, Chongcheng Command Station was taken over by the Secret Service, so his liaison officer was also targeted. In order to avoid revealing his identity, he could only kill his liaison officer.


    The people from the Secret Service had followed his liaison officer for several days, trying to catch a big fish, but suddenly died¡­The Secret Service couldn¡¯t help being annoyed, but there was nothing they could do about him.


    He killed his own people, but he didn¡¯t regret it. These spies were instill to commit suicide when they couldn¡¯t escape and were about to be caught. Because if he was really caught, he would most likely confess, and if he didn¡¯t confess¡­there was only death waiting for them, and he also had to suffer all kinds of torture before death too.


    Something happened to his liaison officer, so more than half a year ago, Hei She came over to preside over the work in person.


    He was in the Inspection Department, so he could get a lot of information. For example, before when Chongcheng Command Station wanted to assassinate some people, he provided them those people addresses.


    In addition, because he amassed a lot of money and established relationships with many Yan people through money, he could also get some information from them.


    In addition, there is the Secret Service Bureau. He has always let his subordinates keep an eye on the Secret Service Bureau, and even placed people in the Secret Service Bureau in the name of the Inspection Office. Naturally, he also knows some things about the Secret Service Bureau.


    Xie Chengze is confident that the information he provided before the past six months is more valuable than the information provided by the other hundreds of people in the Chongcheng Command Station combined.


    But¡­why now that Hei She is dead and he has no liaison officer, how did DaQi still receive information from ¡®Zhaojun¡¯?


    What they received was also information that he had no access to at all with his current status!


    Before, he was worried that his identity would be exposed, but now¡­In this short period of time, no one will definitely suspect him.


    The leader of the Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau scolded Secret Service¡¯s Bureau Chief Li for not catching Zhaojun. In the end, it was Xie Chengze who helped to speak that Bureau Chief Li had a chance to atone for his sin.


    Because of this, Bureau Chief Li specially invited Xie Chengze to dinner to make friends with Xie Chengze.


    Of course, Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t mind having more friends. Someone like Bureau Chief Li, sometimes a casual sentence can be a piece of information.


    While Xie Chengze was building a relationship with Bureau Chief Li, Lu Yanzhou sneaked into that clinic again at night.


    It¡¯s just that the one who opened the door for him this time was not the doctor he saw last time, but Zhou Duzhong who he wanted to see in the beginning.


    Zhou Duzhong looked about 27 or 28 years old, ten years older than Lu Yanzhou. He looked a little thin too.


    As soon as he saw Lu Yanzhou, he bent down and saluted: ¡°Sir Shancha, we can¡¯t repay you for your great kindness!¡± The information provided by this Shancha in front of him saved tens of thousands of their people from deaths!


    The most important thing is¡­ the medicine preparation method provided by Sir Shancha. After they found someone to try it, they found that it was really useful!


    Although it was not yet ready for mass production, they have overcome so many difficulties before, so they will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty too!


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Sir¡­¡±


    ¡°I have some information here, do you want to hear it?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Zhou Duzhong stands upright, waiting for Lu Yanzhou to speak.


    Lu Yanzhou has the original owner¡¯s memory, therefore he knows what will happen recently, so he will describe it one by one.


    This information is not necessarily useful to the Self-Defense Regiment, but it is helpful for the Self-Defense Regiment to understand Yan Country¡¯s situation.


    Lu Yanzhou also talked about the international situation: ¡°Xi Country is at war with other countries, so their troops have been transferred back, therefore they won¡¯t control this side. This is why Xie Chengze went to Xi¡¯s territory to kill people. There is no one in Xi¡¯s occupied area, that¡¯s why there is not much reaction in Xi¡¯s occupied area. Sooner or later, the safe Xi¡¯s occupied area will no longer be safe.¡±


    Zhou Duzhong held his brush as if it¡¯s flying, writing it down one by one.


    After Lu Yanzhou finished all he could say, he asked, ¡°Do you¡­do you want weapon design drawings?¡±


    Zhou Duzhong: ¡°!!!¡± How could he not!


    Seeing Zhou Duzhong¡¯s shocked expression, Lu Yanzhou lowered the brim of his hat and smiled lightly.


    In the first small world, he concentrated on studying medicine, but in the second small world, he also studied other things besides medicine.


    There was a period where Xie Chengze was transferred to study new weapons because he was good at computers, so he also began to learn the related content.


    He is inferior to Xie Chengze in terms of innovation, but he also has advantages ¡ª he has a photographic memory.


    So now his mind is full of weapon blueprint, the only problem is¡­the current level of the domestic technology. Even if there are blueprints, it¡¯s impossible to produce such weapons.


    Lu Yanzhou handed a thick document bag to Zhou Duzhong.


    There are steel making methods, blueprint of many weapons, and some ammunition deployment methods, all of which are very practical, and some are very advanced.


    It takes time to draw this thing, so he basically spends his days and nights drawing this.


    This is what he drew specially for the Self-Defense Regiment, and it¡¯s also very suitable for the Self-Defense Regiment. As for DaQi¡¯s side, he intends to give out Yan Country¡¯s various weapon designs during this period.


    It¡¯s not that he treats them differently, it¡¯s mainly because there are some things that he can¡¯t explain to DaQi¡¯s Imperial Court.


    Moreover, Yan Country planted many spies in DqQi. He was also afraid that what he gave would eventually fall into those Yan people¡¯ hands, which would instead increase their combat effectiveness.


    ¡°Zhaojun and I bought these things from Xi Country at a great price. You must keep them well. You should destroy the blueprints rather than let them fall into those Yan¡¯s people.¡±


    ¡°We will!¡± Zhou Duzhong nodded seriously.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°I¡¯ll give you a way to contact me. As for your side¡­If there is urgent information, how can I give it to you?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has made some arrangements these days, like arranging a way for Zhou Duzhong to contact him.


    This kind of contact method should also be available on Zhou Duzhong¡¯s side.


    After exchanging contact information, Lu Yanzhou quietly left the clinic.


    Zhou Duzhong was very excited. Like the previous doctor, he didn¡¯t sleep all night.


    It was also a coincidence that early the next morning, the travel-worn doctor knocked on the door of the clinic.


    After sending the preparation methods of the medicine to the rear, the doctor stayed there for a few days. He first verified the preparation methods, then returned to Chongcheng without resting.


    There¡¯s many things to do in Chongcheng.


    The doctor is so busy these days that he doesn¡¯t have time to take a bath. When he entered the clinic, he immediately wanted to take a bath, but Zhou Duzhong stopped him: ¡°Instructor, Shancha came last night!¡±


    The doctor immediately forgot about bathing and asked eagerly, ¡°What did he say this time?¡±


    Zhou Duzhong answered: ¡°He told me a lot of information, the most important thing is¡­he gave me some weapon blueprint!¡±


    ¡°Weapon blueprint?¡± The doctor turned pale with shock.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, he said that he and Zhaojun bought it from Xi¡¯s people. It¡¯s guaranteed to be practical.¡±


    ¡°Show me.¡± Said the doctor.


    The two of them looked at those weapon blueprint together. After looking through them, the doctor grabbed a handful of his hair that was infested with lice and fleas on the train, and said directly: ¡°I want to go back immediately, I will leave today!¡±


    Forget whatever washing or something, he is in a hurry to go back!


    For such an important thing, he must send it back to the rear as soon as possible!


    The doctor came and went.


    Seeing him leave again, Zhou Duzhong sighed. He didn¡¯t study medicine, so now the clinic can¡¯t be open!


    Still, it¡¯s a good thing!


    Shancha and Zhaojun are really good people!


    Lu Yanzhou had a good rest some time ago, so staying up late occasionally did not affect his physical condition the next day.


    He asked Hu Zi to change his clothes, then sent another weapon blueprint from Yan Country to Chongcheng Command Station, pretending that Zhaojun had stolen it.


    He did not contact Xie Chengze, but he has been providing constant information to Chongcheng Command Station.


    Like this, it¡¯s guaranteed that no one would be able to guess Zhaojun¡¯s real identity.


    One of Chongcheng Command Station strongholds, the pig slaughtering farm.


    Looking at the newly sent information, Zhu Haifeng gasped.


    In the previous six months, although Zhaojun was very powerful, he never provided so much valuable information in less than a month!


    Right now, the value of the information provided by Zhaojun alone almost exceeds the value of the information obtained by DaQi¡¯s entire Intelligence Station!


    Yan Country¡¯s weapon blueprint, including tanks¡­This is something that they can¡¯t even get by spending countless manpower and material resources!


    Who is Zhaojun? Could it be that he has become someone with a very high rank in Yan country?


    Also, since he provides such precious information, will something occur?


    Zhaojun is so important, Zhu Haifeng feels that even if the command station in Chongcheng is destroyed again, even if they all have to die, Zhaojun must be alive!


    The people at the Chongcheng Command Station acted immediately. They also arranged for people to send the information back.


    In fact, it¡¯s very difficult to send important information such as stolen weapon blueprint because the party that has their blueprint stolen will notice that something is wrong, and then arrange people to track it down.


    But this time the design was drawn by Lu Yanzhou out of thin air, so Yan Country didn¡¯t notice anything, so naturally it was impossible for them to send someone to intercept it.


    Both pieces of information were sent out smoothly.


    But at this time, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s classmates approached him and encouraged him to join the association and do something for those Han people living in difficulties in Chongcheng.


    After Lu Yanzhou transmigrated, he has been doing good deeds to accumulate merit for Xie Chengze.


    Now there is this sassociation that was established to help poor people, he gladly joined.

 CH 50

    Ordinary people in Chongcheng had an extremely difficult life during this period.


    Simply surviving has exhausted all their energy.


    Now that winter is coming, many people don¡¯t have winter clothes at home. The club that Lu Yanzhou joined intends to buy some cotton that can be used to keep warm and give it to the poor.


    Chongcheng was blocked, so many things could not be sent in. Fortunately, food and cotton can still be bought. Using connections, they bought some cotton from the southeast. They also collected donations for cloth and old clothes, then found someone to make cotton clothes. Afterwards, they will donate it to ordinary people.


    Chongcheng has been occupied by the Yan people, but the Yan people didn¡¯t care much about it.


    They need someone to work for them, so they have no intention of killing the Han in Chongcheng, as long as these people don¡¯t cause trouble, they don¡¯t bother to care.


    The content taught in high school is what Lu Yanzhou already knows. Compared to his classmates, his organizational skills are stronger, and he is also the one who pays the most¡­Before he knew it, he became the leader of this club.


    And Lu Tao, who insisted that he was not allowed to skip class before, did not stop him from doing this. Instead, he arranged for some people to help him and donated tens of thousands yuan.


    After having money and people, Lu Yanzhou started to do it freely.


    Early this morning, Lu Yanzhou went to his rented house again.


    Compared with directly giving money, it¡¯s better to use work as relief. Lu Yanzhou took in some homeless children, the elderly, the disabled and women, and asked them to help him make cotton clothes.


    Although he doesn¡¯t provide anything else, he provides them with three meals a day and gives them a place to live. Of course, if someone does it quickly and well, he will give some copper coins as a reward.


    In modern times, people like him would definitely be regarded as hateful capitalists, but in this era¡­these sheltered people are all deeply grateful.


    When Lu Yanzhou arrived, these people were having breakfast.


    These homeless people were originally wandering around. They had countless germs on their bodies, and everyone had fleas and lice. Therefore, Lu Yanzhou made a rule ¡ª anyone who wanted to enter his shelter had to shave their heads.


    After that, take a bath and put on clean clothes, so that disease won¡¯t be easily spread among them.


    At the moment, each of them is queuing up with a rice bowl. When it¡¯s their turn, someone will give them a large bowl of porridge mixed with chopped green vegetables or pickled vegetables, and then give them a piece of salted fish.


    Chongcheng is close to the sea, sea fish and salt are not expensive, so salted fish is the cheapest meat.


    After eating, they hurried to the workplace and started making cotton clothes or doing other work.


    As long as they do enough work assigned by the above, if they do more¡­they can get money!


    A few bald-headed girls were very excited at the moment: ¡°It¡¯s so good here, I can eat three meals a day!¡±


    ¡°And fish.¡±


    ¡°The clothes are warm too!¡±


    ¡­


    These little girls looked seventeen or eighteen years old. They were contract workers who came to Chongcheng from other places a few years ago.


    Life in their family is very difficult, they can¡¯t even afford food. They signed a contract with the contractor a few years ago and came to Chongcheng to work.


    At that time, the contractor said that after entering the factory, they would be able to eat and wear warm clothes, but in fact¡­After entering the factory, they had to work more than ten hours a day, and what they ate were bean dregs and bran that were fed to pigs.


    Ignoring that, if they are sick and uncomfortable, they still can¡¯t rest. If they are seriously ill, they will be thrown out to die.


    People were always dying in the factory.


    Later, Yan people occupied Chongcheng, so the factories were also requisitioned by Yan people. They lost their jobs, and they didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Fortunately, they were brought here.


    Although they have to shave their heads, it¡¯s not a bad thing. They used to be bitten by lice and couldn¡¯t sleep, but now they don¡¯t have this problem anymore.


    And the boss here said that after their hair grows back, there is no need to shave it.


    After Lu Yanzhou walked around, he asked people to weigh out enough food for the next day¡¯s consumption, and counted the things completed the previous day for donation.


    After doing this, he began to treat those who were sick among the taken in.


    Those who suffer from infectious diseases are sent to live elsewhere by him, so the people here do not have any infectious diseases. However, they do have some other problems. He does not have enough medicines, so even if many ailments were discovered, there is no way to help cure them. However, there are a few things that can be used to prevent their condition from deteriorating.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have a medical license, so the wealthy people in Chongcheng would never seek medical treatment from him, but these people didn¡¯t care.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s classmates didn¡¯t say anything when they saw it ¡ª what Lu Yanzhou said made sense to them.


    They don¡¯t have the money to hire a doctor to treat these people, so it should be okay to let Lu Yanzhou take a look at them casually?


    While he was busy, a classmate of Lu Yanzhou came in from outside: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, someone is looking for you.¡±


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s called Zhou Duzhong. He has cooperated with our club before.¡± The classmate smiled embarrassedly. ¡°He actually came to see me, but aren¡¯t you in charge of the club now!¡±


    This classmate is the former president of the club that Lu Yanzhou joined.


    He is capable, but after all, he is young, so he is not as good as Lu Yanzhou, who has managed a company before. He is also not like Lu Yanzhou who can get money from the Lu family too. So he simply gave up the presidency to Lu Yanzhou.


    Zhou DuZhong? Lu Yanzhou was a little surprised: ¡°What cooperation have you had before?¡±


    The former president said: ¡°Zhou Duzhong opened a clinic, and the doctor in his clinic is very nice. We used to go to the clinic for free. I also went to him a while ago and wanted the doctor to take a look here. It¡¯s a pity that the doctor went back to his hometown to visit relatives and didn¡¯t come back¡­Well, in this world, I just don¡¯t know if the doctor will be in any danger.¡±


    After listening to the former president, Lu Yanzhou probably understood the situation, then got up to see Zhou Duzhong.


    He met Zhou Duzhong once, but at that time he was in disguise and changed his voice, so Zhou Duzhong shouldn¡¯t recognize him, right?


    Zhou Duzhong did not recognize Lu Yanzhou.


    In Zhou Duzhong¡¯s heart, Shancha is a very capable middle-aged man. No matter what, he would never associate Shancha with the 18 years old Lu Yanzhou.


    And Zhou Duzhong came to Lu Yanzhou this time because he wanted to use Lu Yanzhou¡¯s connection to buy some cotton: ¡°Isn¡¯t there a war this year? The cotton production in the provinces around Chongcheng is very low, and the silkworm industry has also been affected. If the cotton and cloth from the southeast can be shipped out of Chongcheng, they can be sold for a lot of money¡­¡±


    Before Zhou Duzhong finished speaking, the former president said: ¡°Can we make money by doing business with you? We have a lot of people to support here, and we are short of money!¡±


    Embarrassment flashed across Zhou Duzhong¡¯s face. The Self-Defense Regiment¡¯s soldiers lacked winter clothes. He bought cotton to send to the Self-Defense Regiment, so he won¡¯t be able to make any money at all¡­ ¡°I actually did it for charity. The people around Chongcheng would freeze to death¡­¡±


    The former president looked at Zhou Duzhong suspiciously, and finally Lu Yanzhou, who had guessed Zhou Duzhong¡¯s plan, said, ¡°Okay, I can help.¡±


    For things like cotton, a small amount is fine, but it¡¯s really hard to buy a large amount, and it¡¯s even harder to ship it out after buying it.


    But since Zhou Duzhong came to him, he should have a way to send them out, right?


    As for how to buy it¡­Lu Tao has the Xi country behind him, and Xi has colonies in the southeast, so they can buy it in Lu Tao¡¯s way.


    With Lu Yanzhou¡¯s help, Zhou Duzhong bought a lot of cotton and some medicines.


    During this period, Zhou Duzhong has always been very enthusiastic towards Lu Yanzhou, obviously wanting to maintain the relationship so that he can buy things this way next time.


    Lu Yanzhou was also willing to make friends with him, so the two became very good friends.


    When Lu Yanzhou was busy with his own affairs in Chongcheng, the Secret Service Bureau and the Inspection Department were reprimanded again.


    They couldn¡¯t catch Zhaojun after so long, which made the Yan Intelligence Bureau very angry. They issued a death order and asked the Secret Service Bureau and the Inspection Office to destroy DaQi Chongcheng Command Station as soon as possible.


    After all, if there is no Chongcheng Command Station, even if Zhaojun gets the information, he may not be able to send it out.


    As for Zhaojun¡¯s identity¡­Zhaojun recently sent back some information to Daqi. According to the analysis of that information, Zhaojun is likely to be a high-level official in Yan Country, so the Secret Service and Inspection Department couldn¡¯t find him were normal. Now the task of investigating Zhaojun¡¯s true identity was taken over by Yan Intelligence Bureau.


    Both the Secret Service and the Inspection Department are under great pressure, especially the Secret Service.


    After all, the Inspection Department is mainly internal people, while the Secret Service is outsider.


    The Secret Service has no clue, so they can only use the method of casting a wide net to find people. Since then, their manpower is a bit insufficient.


    Because of this, Lu Yanzhou also found that no one around him was observing him.


    Thinking about it, he either stays in the school or in the shelter now, and he has no contact with any important people at all, so it¡¯s naturally impossible to have anything to do with Zhaojun.


    As for his dissatisfaction with Yan Country¡­There are many many people in Chongcheng who are dissatisfied with Yan Country, so the Secret Service doesn¡¯t care all that much.


    Of course, if the Secret Service can benefit after taking care of it, then they will take care of it.


    For example, not long ago, the son of a veteran businessman in Chongcheng was arrested by the Secret Service because he complained a few words about Yan people. Then it was a matter of course to take over all this family¡¯s properties


    Lu Tao has some background, so the Secret Service can¡¯t invade the Lu family¡¯s properties, therefore they naturally don¡¯t bother to talk to Lu Yanzhou.


    Once the suspicions were cleared and no one was watching him, it was much easier for Lu Yanzhou to do things. He asked his father for some property and started to run around.


    He asked for nothing but to be able to feed the large group of men under his command.


    Running around every day, insisting on exercising at night, after doing it for only three months, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s muscles have grown. His combat effectiveness has also improved a lot.


    Even with all kinds of firearms he can get his hands on right now, he can use them smoothly.


    At this time, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the cold winter has come.


    In the shelter run by Lu Yanzhou and his slub, it was warm.


    It won¡¯t be too cold for a large group of people to work in one room, not to mention that these people were all wearing padded clothes made of new cotton.


    The women who had already grown some hair were chatting: ¡°My hair used to be as dry and yellow as weeds, it would break if I pulled it lightly, but now the newly grown hair is pitch black.¡±


    ¡°Mine too.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about your hair, it will be chinese new year in a few days, will we be able to eat the big fat marinated pigs in the backyard then?¡±


    ¡°We might.¡±


    ¡°When my father was about to die, he wanted to eat a bite of fat meat. Unfortunately, my family didn¡¯t have money, so we couldn¡¯t give it to him.¡±


    ¡°When I left home, there was no food in the house, I don¡¯t know if they are dead or alive¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t even know where my home is, but I remember walking for a long time before I reached here¡­I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to go back in this life.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this, think about the big fat pig in the backyard! Let¡¯s do more work, maybe we can eat an extra piece of pork then!¡±


    Eat an extra piece of pork! Everyone stopped talking and started working.


    They can eat fish every day, but they haven¡¯t eaten pork yet!


    What these people are making now is no longer the kind of cotton-padded clothes that were used for charity at the beginning. The cotton-padded clothes and trousers they make now are all sold for money.


    Sold to Zhou Duzhong.


    If the Yan people had successfully encircled and suppressed the Self-Defense Regiment before, it would have been very very difficult for Zhou Duzhong to send things to the Self-Defense Regiment, but now that the Self-Defense Regiment still occupies a large area, there is an opening for him to send things there.


    So, Zhou Du gritted his teeth and pooled money for Lu Yanzhou to make more cotton-padded clothes.


    As far as Lu Yanzhou knew, Zhou Duzhong was so poor recently that he had already started pawning off his old clothes.


    But it is impossible for him not to charge money, after all, he is not the only manager of their shelter.


    The only thing he can do is to send the money in his hand to Zhou Duzhong.


    But he didn¡¯t have much money at all, at least for the huge number of Self-Defense Regiment, it was a drop in the bucket!


    He has many ways to make a lot of money, but he can¡¯t use them in this era.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou went for a stroll in the backyard to check the marinated pork.


    At this time, there is no large-scale breeding industry, so the price of meat is very expensive. During the Chinese New Year, it¡¯s even impossible to buy it, so he bought a few pigs in advance and prepared to eat them during the Chinese New Year.


    These pigs have been cut into pieces and marinated in large vats for a few days. Taking advantage of the good weather today, they can be taken out to dry.


    While busy with work, one of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s classmates suddenly exclaimed.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°There is someone here!¡± The classmate yelled in horror.


    Lu Yanzhou hurried over, only to find that there were two people hiding in the firewood room. After being discovered by them, the two pushed them away and ran out.


    ¡°Are these two thieves? Quickly capture them!¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s classmate said.


    Lu Yanzhou only took one look and knew that those two people could not be thieves.


    That strong body and dark aura all over their body are more like Jiangyang bandit.


    Since these two people didn¡¯t plan to kill anyone, it¡¯s better for them to let them go.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t intend to take care of this matter, but he didn¡¯t expect that disaster would come from above. The moment the two escaped, the Secret Service came.


    It was said that the two people who had just escaped were important criminals that the Secret Service needed to capture.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Those two people should be from Chongcheng Command Station, right? Don¡¯t know if they escaped or not.


    Of course, now is not the time to sympathize with those two people. The problem now is that the people from the secret service plan to catch him instead of catching those two people.


    The Secret Service has always been domineering!


    ¡°They escaped our pursuit by hiding with you. Who knows if you are with them? Clean up and come with us!¡± The arrester from the Secret Service stretched out their hand to tie Lu Yanzhou up.


    ¡°My lords, our young master has absolutely nothing to do with those people!¡± Hu Zi said while going to stop him.


    ¡°Hu Zi, get out of the way,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll go with them.¡±


    With the domineering nature of the Secret Service, if he resists, the Secret Service will definitely not let him go!


    Now they only want to arrest him alone. If he resists, maybe everyone here will be handcuffed by the Secret Service.


    At that time, his father may not even be able to help him, let alone others.


    But if he goes alone¡­ his dad should be able to fish him out.


    This is really an unwarranted disaster!


    Lu Yanzhou was taken to the Secret Service.


    After the Secret Service didn¡¯t need to investigate Zhaojun anymore, they went all out to investigate Chongcheng Command Station.


    The traitor deputy station master before really came up with some clues after thinking hard ¡ª another Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s deputy station master once brought a sauced duck when they met, so the sauced duck most likely was bought from where they were hiding!


    There are quite a few shops selling sauced duck in Chongcheng, but the sauced duck is quite unique, and it¡¯s only sold in one place. People from the Secret Service sealed off the area and checked them one by one. Anyone with suspicious identities was arrested.


    Grabbing and catching, someone fled.


    They also know that there must be something wrong with the person who escaped. The people from the secret service rushed to chase, but those two people found the right opportunity to escape. At that time, the ordinary people who were driven by them happened to block their way. In the end, they were too late to catch up and let those people run away.


    After finally finding them, the two were startled away by Lu Yanzhou and the others ahead of time.


    Once again, they returned without success. The people from the Secret Service, who came to work, knew that they would die if they went back, so they wanted to find a substitute.


    They knew that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s family must have money just by looking at his clothes, so if they brought him back for a trial and knocked down a sum of money to give to their superior, their life would be easier.


    ¡°Everyone, my father is Lu Tao.¡± Lu Yanzhou, who was tied up, still tried to reason with them.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if your father is Lu Tao or Hai Tao, you influenced our arrest!¡± The man who captured Lu Yanzhou was just a pawn of the Secret Service, so he had never heard of Lu Tao¡¯s name.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± he just hopes now that his father will come to him soon¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was quickly arrested and sent to the Secret Service, but luckily no one came to torture him.


    On the way, he said that he was Lu Tao¡¯s son. After all, the person who arrested him was attracted to him. After returning, he immediately went to find out who Lu Tao was.


    Lu Tao has been washing his hands in the golden basin for many years. Although he was doing well in the world, the Secret Service is not afraid of him, but there is no need to mess with him.


    After all, if Lu Tao was offended. Lu Tao will find someone to fight against the Secret Service, and it will become very troublesome for them, the Secret Service.


    Of course, this offense means that Lu Yanzhou died at their hands¡­As long as Lu Yanzhou is not dead, Lu Tao will not do anything to them.


    Now in Chongcheng, Yan¡¯s people are the largest!


    After finding out Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity, the Secret Service immediately told bureau chief Li about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arrest.


    Bureau chief Li has been scolded a lot these days because of his poor handling of affairs, even if he sent a lot of money to his superiors, it was useless.


    He was in a state of desperation when his subordinates suddenly told him the news¡­


    Bureau chief Li said: ¡°Make Lu Tao send 50,000 silver yuan over here, then let him go!¡±


    The Secret Service has already arrested him, so naturally they can¡¯t just release him for nothing, Lu Tao must bleed some blood!


    ¡°Yes!¡± The subordinates were about to do this immediately.


    ¡°Wait!¡± At this moment, Bureau Chief Li called them to stop.


    ¡°Bureau Chief?¡±


    Bureau Chief Li suddenly asked: ¡°Who arrested Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I remember that Lu Tao¡¯s youngest son has been making a lot of noise recently. He has helped many people. He is truly a bodhisattva¡­¡± Bureau Chief Li suddenly laughed, ¡°Send him to Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°Bureau Chief?¡± His subordinates were puzzled.


    Bureau Chief Li said: ¡°Xie Chengze is very interested in him. Since we have already arrested him, let¡¯s send him to Xie Chengze!¡±


    If Xie Chengze accepts him and he is satisfied, he may be willing to help him talk to headquarters.


    As for how Lu Yanzhou will be treated by Xie Chengze¡­What does that have to do with him?


    It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t get money from Lu Tao.


    Tsk tsk, I hope Xie Chengze will not play too much and kill him. If that is the case, that old man Lu Tao will probably came to find Xie Chengze desperately.


    T/N: Lu Yanzhou: So much for staying away from Xie Chengze

 CH 51

    Lu Yanzhou and some others were imprisoned together in the Secret Service Bureau prison.


    It¡¯s also a coincidence that the original owner was caught by the Secret Service at this time in his previous life.


    There are many people imprisoned in this prison, but they should all be captured by the Secret Service, so his inmates are quite different from the original owner¡¯s.


    The original owner¡¯s inmates were all bloody and had been severely punished, but his inmates were at most beaten.


    But even so, the prison environment is very poor. There are still people who have been arrested here for many days¡­A stench permeates the cell.


    When the original owner encountered this situation, he must have been very disgusted and couldn¡¯t bear it¡­Lu Yanzhou held his nose and stayed in the corner, not letting anyone approach him: ¡°Stay away from me!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked difficult to get along with. He was well dressed, so the others stayed really far away from him. Only a middle-aged man who looked wealthy at first sight looked at Lu Yanzhou with contempt: ¡°We¡¯re all here and you¡¯re still having a young master¡¯s temper!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t speak, so the man continued: ¡°After entering this place, who knows how many days you can survive.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou glanced at him, but still didn¡¯t speak.


    He should be able to go out, but other people here may not be able to go out.


    He is not yet capable of saving them.


    In this world, he doesn¡¯t even know how many people die every day for no reason.


    Lu Yanzhou remained silent, and the people around him also ignored him and sat on the ground one by one, crying from time to time.


    Lu Yanzhou thought he would stay here for a long time, but he didn¡¯t expect that someone would come to him after a while. It was the Secret Service¡¯s Bureau Chief Li who came to him.


    Bureau Chief Li brought a group of people to look for Lu Yanzhou. When he saw Lu Yanzhou huddled in a corner, he smiled.


    He was not surprised at all that Xie Chengze would fall in love with Lu Yanzhou.


    People like them, who have been stuck in the mud and couldn¡¯t get out, sometimes like those who are pure and innocent.


    This Lu family youngest son is young and good-looking, he is also kind, so people can¡¯t help but want to dye him black.


    ¡°Come on, let young master Lu out,¡± Bureau Chief Li said.


    Whether it was a member of the Secret Service or someone in the same cell as Lu Yanzhou, they were all a little surprised to see Bureau Chief Li treating Lu Yanzhou so kindly.


    Does this young man have a great background?


    Even Lu Yanzhou felt a little strange. He knew that his father was capable, but he certainly wasn¡¯t that capable to make Bureau Chief Li come to see him in person.


    So what¡¯s going on here?


    Lu Yanzhou soon knew what was going on.


    Bureau Chief Li took him outside and said, ¡°Young master Lu, you are lucky that Section Chief Xie has taken a fancy to you. As long as you serve Section Chief Xie well, you will have a good life in the future!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked as if he exploded, but he was pondering in his mind.


    The Section Chief Xie that Bureau Chief Li mentioned should be Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze took a fancy to him? It is impossible, he only met Xie Chengze once in this life!


    And if Xie Chengze really took a fancy to him, why didn¡¯t he come to him himself but make the Secret Service come forward?


    So there is a high probability that Bureau Chief Li is talking nonsense. As for why¡­did he want him to hate Xie Chengze? Want his father to fight against Xie Chengze? Want to make trouble for Xie Chengze?


    ¡°Young master Lu, you should have heard of Xie Chengze¡¯s reputation. If you don¡¯t serve him well, you, your father, and the rest of your family may all die!¡± Bureau Chief Li said again.


    ¡°You, you¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes turned red from anger.


    Bureau Chief Li gave a ¡®tsk¡¯ sound, threatened again, and explained why he came ¡ª he wanted to give Lu Yanzhou to Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t understand the current situation, but he pretended to be frightened and was pushed and shoved by the Secret Service¡­to take a bath.


    Bureau Chief Li is quite polite, he specially washed the gifts before giving it.


    Lu Yanzhou refused Bureau Chief Li¡¯s request to find someone to help him take a bath, so he went to take a bath with a face full of humiliation, then changed into new clothes, got in a car, and was sent to Xie Chengze¡¯s home.


    Lu Yanzhou felt helpless.


    He didn¡¯t know how things had come to this, so he didn¡¯t know what to do next.


    After much deliberation, the only thing he can do is to maintain a good personality.


    He was just a gift, Bureau Chief Li must have done this because of Xie Chengze.


    And what Xie Chengze wants to do¡­depends on Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze is very smart, he will never fall into Bureau Chief Li¡¯s trap.


    Lu Yanzhou sat in the main room of Xie Chengze¡¯s residence with a face full of humiliation, waiting for Xie Chengze¡¯s arrival.


    It was already evening when Xie Chengze returned home.


    Before he came back, Xie Chengze had already learned about Bureau Chief Li sending Lu Yanzhou to his home.


    Ever since he knew that he liked men, Bureau Chief Li had given him several times, but he didn¡¯t accept them.


    Unexpectedly, Bureau Chief Li sent Lu Yanzhou to him.


    Ever since he met Lu Yanzhou, he has been obsessed with him. Now that he is in his hands¡­Seeing Lu Yanzhou looking at him with resentment, Xie Chengze smiled lightly, and then looked at Bureau Chief Li: ¡°Bureau Chief Li, what do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Section Chief Xie, aren¡¯t you interested in him? I found out that he is related to Jinyiwei Chongcheng Command Station. I was going to torture him, but since you like him, I didn¡¯t do anything to him and have someone sent him to you Instead.¡± Bureau Chief Li smiled.


    ¡°I have nothing to do with that intelligence station.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°The evidence of the crime is solid, it¡¯s not like if you say you¡¯re not involved, so you¡¯re not involved!¡± Bureau Chief Li sneered.


    ¡°You¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Why, you don¡¯t want to stay here, you want to go back to the cell?¡± Bureau Chief Li asked.


    Lu Yanzhou was at a loss and confused.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance, Xie Chengze felt a strange urge to plunder him, kiss him, and hold him in his arms to comfort him.


    The current situation is something Xie Chengze did not expect.


    He showed his interest in Lu Yanzhou in front of Bureau Chief Li at the beginning mainly because he was not close to women, which often caused trouble.


    He happened to fall in love with Lu Yanzhou, so he took advantage of the situation to make people think he liked the man.


    And then¡­this happened.


    He, Xie Chengze, is not a good person in the eyes of outsiders, he is not afraid of trouble, at least he is not afraid of Lu Tao.


    Before he rejected Bureau Chief Li¡¯s men, it can be said that he looked down on those men, but now that Lu Yanzhou was sent to him¡­It¡¯s unreasonable for him not to accept him.


    And who knows what Bureau Chief Li will do to Lu Yanzhou if he doesn¡¯t accept him?


    ¡°Bureau Chief Li, what do you want?¡± Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou with great interest, and then at Bureau Chief Li.


    ¡°I just asked Section Chief Xie to say some good words for me.¡± Bureau Chief Li said.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Bureau Chief Li saw that Xie Chengze had accepted him and quickly took him away.


    Xie Chengze finally had the time to take a closer look at Lu Yanzhou.


    An ordinary seventeen or eighteen-year-old man would have some pimples on his face, but Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face was clean. His eyes black and shiny, which made his heart skip a beat.


    But this person¡¯s eyes are full of anger and resentment towards himself, which is a bit annoying.


    This young master Lu must have been spoiled to such an extent that he still dares to look at him like this, he needs to be taught a lesson.


    Xie Chengze pinched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cheeks, and laughed: ¡°Young master Lu, you really look good.¡±


    Saying that, Xie Chengze kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s lip.


    Lu Yanzhou was shocked and his eyes widened. Xie Chengze in this world, wouldn¡¯t fall in love with him again, right?


    No, probably not, they only met once.


    Beside him, there are also Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinates from the Inspection Department in this room.


    Those people from the Inspection Department must have not known about Xie Chengze¡¯s real identity, so in front of the people in the Inspection Department, he needs to act, so he can only look at Xie Chengze with hatred.


    Xie Chengze should have kissed him for this reason too.


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou scolded: ¡°You pervert.¡±


    ¡°Young master Lu is really brave.¡± Xie Chengze let go of the hand that was pinching Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cheek, and then directly carried Lu Yanzhou up.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°???¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s strength¡­is quite strong!


    Xie Chengze is not only strong, Lu Yanzhou, who was carried by him, also found that his body is full of hard muscles, which is completely different from the previous two worlds body.


    If he fights with Xie Chengze now, he might not be able to do anything!


    However, if he trains for a while, he has confidence in himself.


    Lu Yanzhou felt pretty good being carried by the person who he carried around in his previous life, but now he needs to act¡­Lu Yanzhou could only curse: ¡°You bad guy! Let me go!¡±


    He came and went with just a few words, mainly because he was reluctant to scold more severely.


    Xie Chengze snorted lightly: ¡°What a good baby, you can¡¯t even curse.¡±


    ¡°You are the baby! Your whole family is a baby!¡± Lu Yanzhou looked extremely annoyed, then he was thrown onto the bed by Xie Chengze.


    They have already come to Xie Chengze¡¯s room.


    It should be safe here, but Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t closed the door yet¡­


    ¡°My father is Lu Tao. If you do something to me, my father will not let you go¡­¡±


    ¡°You talk too much with this mouth.¡± Xie Chengze suddenly said, then took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°!!!¡± Lu Yanzhou was about to spit out the handkerchief in his mouth when he was pinned down on the bed by Xie Chengze. That was fine, but Xie Chengze even took out a roll of cloth and tied it around his mouth.


    No, not only his mouth, Xie Chengze also covered up his eyes.


    Xie Chengze liked Lu Yanzhou very much, it was the first time in his life that he liked someone so much.


    However, he didn¡¯t intend to do anything to Lu Yanzhou.


    Though he didn¡¯t plan to do anything, he still had to act. He should teach Lu Yanzhou a lesson so that he could be more careful in the future.


    As for why he had to plug his mouth and cover his eyes¡­He doesn¡¯t have a hobby in listening to his sweetheart scolding him and having his sweetheart glare at him.


    Xie Chengze is very strong. He has received professional training too, so a normal 18 year old young man cannot escape his grasp.


    Lu Yanzhou also didn¡¯t struggle much.


    So, after his mouth and eyes were covered, his hands and feet were also tied up.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was going to do, but he believed that Xie Chengze would not hurt him, so he wasn¡¯t afraid at all.


    It¡¯s just that the door hasn¡¯t been closed yet¡­He could only falter and struggle, making angry noises from his nose.


    From time to time, people came to assassinate Xie Chengze, so Xie Chengze arranged for some people from the Inspection Department to live in his home.


    Of course, no one is allowed to approach the place where he lives.


    But now Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ¡®enraged¡¯ sound is really too loud¡­The people from the Inspection Department, who heard the movement, looked at each other in blank dismay ¡ª their Section Chief¡¯s movement is quite loud?


    They didn¡¯t expect their section chief to be like this¡­


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, who was humming for a long while, before getting up and closing the door, and then said: ¡°You better stop struggling, or¡­I¡¯ll strip you naked and throw you out!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± The door was closed, so he didn¡¯t intend to grunt anymore.


    However, in the current situation¡­Xie Chengze didn¡¯t intend to tie him up for a night like this, did he?


    Xie Chengze really planned to tie Lu Yanzhou up all night like this.


    Most of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face was already wrapped in cloth, only his nose was exposed. Xie Chengze touched his exposed skin, then pressed Lu Yanzhou: ¡°You¡¯d better keep quiet for me, don¡¯t move around, or your family will definitely suffer.¡±


    Although Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hands and feet were bound, only his wrists and ankles were bound. Xie Chengze was careful not to tie them too tightly.


    So if Lu Yanzhou really wants to move, he can move. He could even stand up and walk forward.


    Besides¡­With Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability, it is not difficult for him to untie the rope in his hands.


    But now¡­he could only lie still.


    Then he felt Xie Chengze lay beside him.


    Ignoring that, Xie Chengze¡¯s breathing gradually became smoother, this is¡­he¡¯s asleep?


    What¡¯s the matter with this man! This is too careless! Why did he fall asleep?!


    Lu Yanzhou thought so in his heart, but actually remained motionless, so as not to wake Xie Chengze up.


    He had seen that Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were black and blue before, it could be seen that this person may not have had a good sleep for a long time.


    Lying beside Xie Chengze, listening to Xie Chengze¡¯s steady breathing, Lu Yanzhou also quickly fell asleep.

 CH 52

    Xie Chengze fell asleep as soon as it was dark. When he woke up, it was already dawn.


    He hadn¡¯t slept so well for a long time.


    Even if he is just a simple ¡®Section Chief Xie¡¯, in such a position, it¡¯s difficult for him because he could be assassinated from time to time.


    Not to mention that he has another identity.


    Bureau Chief Li was surrounded by experts from the Secret Service, but he couldn¡¯t trust the people from the Inspection Department from the beginning to the end.


    He can only fight alone.


    In these years, he didn¡¯t even have a single person to talk to. He had to walk on a tightrope every day with the determination to die at any time.


    Over time, he had trouble falling asleep.


    He was lying next to Lu Yanzhou yesterday because he was too busy these days and couldn¡¯t sleep well. His heart felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to take a rest.


    However, he didn¡¯t think he could fall asleep at the time.


    Even though he liked Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou was still a stranger to him, and it was always difficult for him to sleep with strangers by his side.


    However, he not only fell asleep but also slept deeply, without any precautions during that period.


    Waking up in the morning, Xie Chengze still felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.


    He used to feel that there was a fire hidden in his body with nowhere to vent because he couldn¡¯t sleep well, but at this moment, that fire had disappeared without a trace.


    For a moment, Xie Chengze really wanted to keep Lu Yanzhou behind and slept with him every day!


    But that is impossible.


    He has done a lot of things for Yan¡¯s people all these years, so his hands were stained with many innocent people. However, he won¡¯t harm people if it is not necessary.


    If Lu Yanzhou stayed by his side, if something happened to him, Lu Yanzhou would have no choice but to die.


    He can¡¯t keep people who will make him lose his vigilance by his side!


    Fortunately, this person is about to leave Chongcheng.


    In fact, there was another reason why he showed interest in Lu Yanzhou at the beginning. That was because he found out that Lu Tao was dealing with some private properties.


    Lu Tao wants to leave Chongcheng.


    Lu Tao has some influence in Chongcheng, so he has a lot of money in his hands. If he wants to sell his property, anyone can guess that he is going to leave, however, Yan¡¯s people will never let him go with so much money.


    But if he left behind a large amount of property and left quietly, no one would stop him.


    If Lu Tao is going to leave, Lu Yanzhou would definitely leave too. There are a lot of men in Chongcheng, but there are not many people who are as clean and extravagant as young master Lu. He has a tricky preference, so there will be no one he could accept like this in the future.


    The pitiful one is this little young master Lu who was sent to his bed before he left.


    ¡°Woohoo.¡± Lu Yanzhou moved. Xie Chengze¡¯s breathing changed, so he was clearly awake. He wanted Xie Chengze to untie him.


    It¡¯s uncomfortable to lie down like this.


    ¡°You¡¯d better lie down obediently, otherwise¡­¡± Xie Chengze said threateningly.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t move, so Xie Chengze stretched out his hand and touched the bare skin on his face: ¡°Poor thing¡­You should learn to behave yourself in the future, don¡¯t provoke people like me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He didn¡¯t provoke Xie Chengze in this life, right?


    Xie Chengze has no plans to let Lu Yanzhou free.


    He looks ugly, even his adoptive mother, who raised him and has a mother-child relationship with him, doesn¡¯t like his face.


    Not to mention that he still bears the name of a traitor now.


    A young master like Lu Yanzhou must hate him so much that he won¡¯t even look at him more than once, so he should just tie him up.


    Xie Chengze lay on the bed for a while. He didn¡¯t get up and go downstairs until he was hungry.


    Last night he slept without eating.


    As soon as he went downstairs, someone from the Inspection Department came to Xie Chengze: ¡°Section Chief, Lu Tao has been waiting outside all night.¡±


    Xie Chengze was helpless: ¡°When did he come?¡±


    ¡°Section Chief, he came shortly after you returned to your room yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Let him in.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Lu Tao soon came in.


    He came here by car and could rest in the car, but he didn¡¯t sleep all night after all. He was also worried and frightened, so his complexion was not very good.


    However, he still had a smile on his face: ¡°Section Chief Xie, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t go around in circles,¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Tao, ¡°Lu Yanzhou is in my room.¡±


    The corners of Lu Tao¡¯s eyes twitched, he felt a little uncomfortable.


    After he got the news yesterday, he went to the Secret Service non-stop. When he learned that his son was with Xie Chengze, he hurried over again.


    After that, the people from the Inspection Department refused to let him in. He was afraid that he would offend Xie Chengze and his son would not come back, so he could only wait outside.


    Now¡­the Secret Service didn¡¯t lie to him, Xie Chengze really fell in love with his son?


    Lu Tao hated Xie Chengze to death. He was already thinking about what kind of lesson he should teach Xie Chengze in the future, but he still have a smiled on his face: ¡°Section Chief Xie, my youngest son is the treasure of my old wife, if I can¡¯t take him back, my old wife won¡¯t let me go home. Section Chief Xie, please be magnanimous.¡±


    As he said that, Lu Tao also took out a bank check and handed it to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze took a look at the check, and chuckled: ¡°It¡¯s not good to keep your old wife waiting for a long time, I¡¯ll call him down.¡±


    20,000 western currency¡­that¡¯s a lot of money!


    Western currency is the Western Country¡¯s currency, which is much more valuable than DaQi¡¯s silver coins.


    Lu Tao attaches great importance to Lu Yanzhou, so if that kid was taken away from Chongcheng by his father, he shouldn¡¯t have a hard time.


    ¡°Section Chief Xie, please.¡± Lu Tao smiled apologetically.


    Xie Chengze took the check, turned around and went upstairs.


    After opening the door and entering his room, he cut the ropes on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hands and feet with a stroke of the knife, then cut the cloth on his face lightly.


    After regaining his freedom and seeing the light again, Lu Yanzhou immediately took out the handkerchief in his mouth and got up, wanting to talk to Xie Chengze.


    But Xie Chengze¡¯s bedroom door was open.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to curse, so he just sat and looked at Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze looks like he¡¯s in a good mood today, probably because he had a good night¡¯s sleep last night.


    However, in the next second, Xie Chengze pinched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s chin: ¡°What, I¡¯m very good-looking?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s straight gaze made Xie Chengze uncomfortable ¡ª he didn¡¯t like being looked at by others.


    What¡¯s more, he is so ugly, he doesn¡¯t know if Lu Yanzhou is scolding him in his heart!


    Before Lu Yanzhou could speak, Xie Chengze continued: ¡°Your father is here to pick you up!¡±


    After speaking, Xie Chengze turned around and left.


    Lu Yanzhou could only follow behind Xie Chengze and walk out.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou went outside, he saw Lu Tao, and Lu Tao naturally saw him too.


    After getting stuffed with a handkerchief and tied up all night, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mouth was a little red, and there were also a few red marks on his face¡­When Lu Tao noticed this, his whole body trembled.


    ¡°You can go.¡± Xie Chengze sneered.


    ¡°Thank you very much, section chief Xie.¡± Lu Tao finally couldn¡¯t smile anymore, he pulled Lu Yanzhou and left.


    He took Lu Yanzhou into the car. After driving for a while, Lu Tao said, ¡°AZhou, you¡¯ve been bitten by a dog. It¡¯s just some physical humiliation. As long as you¡¯re still alive, you can get it back.¡±


    Lu Tao was born at the bottom. When he was young, in order to make a living, he suffered all kinds of grievances and suffered all kinds of hardships.


    When his son¡¯s experience happened to him, he didn¡¯t care too much about it, he just thought about how to kill the person who treated him like this.


    However, his son had never been wronged since he was a child, so he was naturally different from him. He was a little afraid that his son would be overwhelmed.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Why was he bitten by a dog? Although Xie Chengze said and kissed him for acting, he was also very happy.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou knew why his father said that.


    It was inconvenient to talk in front of the driver along the way, so when they returned home, he was brought into the room by his father. Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, nothing happened last night.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Dad, nothing happened last night. Xie Chengze just tied me up all night,¡± Lu Yanzhou said. ¡°The Secret Service must have sent me to Xie Chengze with bad intentions. I just had bad luck and became a tool for them to fight¡­Xie Chengze didn¡¯t untie me or give me food all night, I¡¯m starving to death! None of those traitors are good!¡±


    Traitors are not good people, but Xie Chengze is not a traitor!


    Lu Tao thought about how to comfort his son all the way, but seeing his son calm now, he believed his words.


    He knew that if his son was wronged, he wouldn¡¯t behave like this.


    Lu Tao said: ¡°That¡¯s good¡­but they came to touch my son casually, I won¡¯t let them have a good time! I will definitely give them a bit of trouble before we leave!¡±


    ¡°Leave?¡± Lu Yanzhou was taken aback.


    Lu Tao said: ¡°Yes. With Chongcheng like this now, we can¡¯t stay here any longer. I have been preparing for this for a long time, intending to take you away to live in the Western Country. However, I originally wanted to wait until the New Year was over before leaving. Now that I think about it, it¡¯s better to leave quickly to avoid any surprises.¡±


    As Xie Chengze thought, Lu Tao wanted to leave Chongcheng a long time ago.


    It¡¯s just that he has been living here. Although he decided to leave before, he was always reluctant and wanted to live another year.


    Lu Tao¡¯s eldest son and second son knew about this matter, so they had made a lot of preparations. However, they didn¡¯t tell Lu Yanzhou because they were afraid of leaking the news.


    But now something happened to Lu Yanzhou¡­they have to leave as soon as possible!


    Lu Yanzhou knew nothing about the fact that the Lu family was leaving Chongcheng. According to the original historical trajectory, after the original owner was determined to be someone from Chongcheng command station, the Secret Service arrested all the Lu family members.


    Because there was no evidence, the Secret Service did not dare to touch Lu Tao. After all, Bureau Chief Li was just a dog in Yan people¡¯s eyes.


    But as long as there is evidence, let alone Lu Tao, even the mayor of Chongcheng, the Secret Service can arrest them.


    After his transmigration¡­he goes out early and returns late every day, so he naturally doesn¡¯t know Lu Tao¡¯s plan.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, you go, I won¡¯t go.¡±


    ¡°What nonsense are you saying!¡± Lu Tao said.


    ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense. Dad, I¡¯m from Chongcheng Command Station.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked serious,


    Lu Tao¡¯s eyes widened in shock. He knew about Chongcheng Command Station. He also knew that the Secret Service was crazy from arresting people in Chongcheng Command Station.


    This time, his son was also unlucky to meet the Chongcheng Command Station, so he was taken away by the Secret Service.


    But now, his son is from Chongcheng Command Station?


    ¡°Dad, now that the country is in crisis, I want to contribute to my country. I will never leave.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Lu Tao firmly.


    ¡°You little bastard, you¡­you have no skills, what can you contribute? Being killed by someone?¡± Lu Tao was furious.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, don¡¯t underestimate me, I am a Jinyiwei spy. All my previous performances were me acting¡­¡±


    ¡°What crazy words are you talking about! Alright, you have to reflect on yourself at home and don¡¯t even think about going out!¡± Lu Tao turned around and left after finishing speaking.


    His country was invaded and his compatriots were bullied, of course Lu Tao felt uncomfortable.


    But he is not someone who is willing to die for the country. He himself is not willing, let alone let his son do it.


    Lu Tao has already made up his mind that even if has to tie him up, he will tie up his son.


    However, seeing that Lu Tao was about to go out, Lu Yanzhou took a step ahead and got out.


    ¡°Stinky boy!¡± Lu Tao was furious when he saw this, then immediately said: ¡°Come, capture the young master!¡±


    As soon as Lu Tao finished speaking, the four bodyguards who were staying at Lu¡¯s house moved, trying to catch Lu Yanzhou.


    This is not a difficult task, they all know that the young master¡¯s strength is not very good.


    But they were wrong!


    These people only want to catch him, so they won¡¯t use hot weapons, and they also won¡¯t be cruel to him¡­So, Lu Yanzhou resisted without hesitation.


    He was a member of the special forces back then. Though he lacked both combat skills and practical experience, his intuition was far sharper than ordinary people.


    The Lu family¡¯s four bodyguards were beaten to the ground one by one by him.


    Lu Tao was stunned on the spot, then Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, let¡¯s have a good talk.¡±


    Lu Tao brought Lu Yanzhou back into the room again to talk with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, I want to stay.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    ¡°Dad, even if you take me out of Chongcheng, I will come back.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at his father firmly, his eyes full of determination.


    Lu Tao stared at his son for a long time, then finally looked depressed.


    Lu Tao didn¡¯t want his son to stay, but his son insisted, so he couldn¡¯t help it.


    The main reason is that he discovered that his son had grown up in a place he didn¡¯t know, and he had grown into someone he couldn¡¯t control.


    Among other things, with his son¡¯s skill, the strongest person under his command may not be able to beat his son.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, if you want to leave, you should leave as soon as possible. It will become more and more chaotic, so you may not be able to leave even if you want to.¡±


    Lu Tao sighed: ¡°Okay.¡±


    After making a decision, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, if you want to leave, I can help cover it. As long as I¡¯m still in Chongcheng, no one can think of stopping you from leaving.¡±


    Lu Tao took a deep look at Lu Yanzhou.


    After talking with Lu Tao, Lu Yanzhou left the Lu family and continued to work in his shelter.


    The people in the shelter didn¡¯t know that he was sent to Xie Chengze by the Secret Service, and Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything about it, but he acted like he was about to blow up, as if he didn¡¯t like anything.


    The people in the shelter didn¡¯t know why, but those well-informed people in Chongcheng knew that the young master of the Lu family stayed overnight at Xie Chengze¡¯s place.


    They heard that after young master Lu returned home from Xie Chengze, he quarreled with his father and broke a lot of things. Afterwards, although he still went to the shelter as before, his face was gloomy and he didn¡¯t allow others to ask about his situation that day.


    By the way, Young Master Lu also contacted some members of the gang, he seemed to be planning to do something¡­Did he want to take revenge on Xie Chengze?


    The Lu family looked very lively. Those who had a good relationship with the Lu family sympathized with Lu Tao, and those who disliked Lu Tao secretly laughed at Lu Tao.


    This Lu Tao was said to be sick from anger, not only did he call his children back, he also sold some properties, probably in order to raise enough money to make things difficult for Xie Chengze.


    As a matter of fact, isn¡¯t that just making trouble!


    No matter how much he loves his youngest son, there is no need to confront Xie Chengze for his sake.


    Everyone was thinking like this, when they suddenly realized¡­that Lu Tao, who was said to have fainted from anger, hadn¡¯t seen anyone for several days.


    The relatives and friends of the Lu family who were said to be going to the Lu family¡¯s old house to persuade Lu Tao also disappeared.


    Young Master Lu goes out with a bad face every day, but what about the rest of the Lu family?


    When everyone came back to their senses, they found that the entire Lu family was empty.


    Lu Tao took his family, some old friends, and some relatives, and left Chongcheng together. Only his youngest son, who is said to be his favorite, stayed in Chongcheng.


    Lu Tao¡­is not following common sense!


    After Lu Tao took Lu Yanzhou away, Xie Chengze was ready for Lu Tao to trouble him.


    He has many enemies, so he doesn¡¯t mind having one more.


    Later, when he heard that Lu Tao was ill from anger, all the members of the Lu family went back to serve him, he felt a little guilty.


    Lu Tao is not young anymore, he still angers him.


    People from the Inspection Department asked Xie Chengze if he wanted to keep an eye on the Lu family. Considering that the Lu family was about to run away, Xie Chengze rejected the proposal, and then learned that¡­the Lu family members had all run away, except for Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face turned dark.


    He thought Lu Tao was a good father, but¡­ Lu Tao didn¡¯t take Lu Yanzhou away!


    In the past, even with Lu Tao¡¯s protection, Lu Yanzhou was still arrested and sent to the Secret Service. Without Lu Tao, how would this little kid survive in Chongcheng where fish and dragons are mixed together?


    One has to know that Lu Tao also has enemies!


    Now that Lu Tao is gone, won¡¯t those people vent their anger on Lu Yanzhou?


    Xie Chengze frowned.


    On the other hand, Lu Yanzhou was also a little speechless.


    The Secret Service¡¯s method of arresting people by casting a wide net is very useful. They have recently arrested several people from Chongcheng Command Station, and thus exposed some stationpoint.


    They don¡¯t have many stationpoint, so it¡¯s even more difficult to hide now.


    The point is, DaQi Imperial Court was dissatisfied with Zhu Haifeng coming to Chongcheng for half a year and has been making small troubles. They wanted Zhu Haifeng to make a big mess.


    Zhu Haifeng is not Zhaojun, so he can¡¯t steal valuable information. His subordinates are better at assassination than collecting information. After much deliberation¡­Zhu Haifeng plans to assassinate a few important figures from Yan Country, then hand it over to DaQi.


    And among the people he planned to assassinate was Xie Chengze.


    The chinese new year will be in a few days, so there will be many activities in Chongcheng. Zhu Haifeng wants to know the movements of Xie Chengze and other people so that he can assassinate them.


    Zhu Haifeng had obtained this kind of information through Zhaojun before, so naturally he could only ask Zhaojun for help now, so Lu Yanzhou, who was Zhaojun¡¯s liaison officer, received the information from Zhu Haifeng.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± How would he know where those people were during chinese new year?


    He hasn¡¯t even contacted Xie Chengze yet!


    What¡¯s more, this Zhu Haifeng actually planned to do something to Xie Chengze¡­How can this be!

 CH 53

    Lu Yanzhou knew that being a spy was dangerous, and he also knew that Xie Chengze was assassinated from time to time.


    However, he was helpless about the people at Chongcheng Command Station planning to assassinate Xie Chengze.


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou changed his attire and came to the pig slaughterhouse again.


    Zhu Haifeng was very happy to see Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Shancha, long time no see.¡±


    ¡°Long time no see.¡± Lu Yanzhou not only put on makeup, but also changed his posture to reduce his sense of presence. He also wore the kind of clothes that poor people would wear, plus the dirty scarf and hat¡­ No one would absolutely associate him with young master Lu.


    ¡°Did you come here this time because there is news about the whereabouts of the target?¡± Zhu Haifeng asked.


    ¡°No,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Recently, the investigations are strict, Zhaojun has no way to send in information.¡±


    After he came here, he had already sent back a lot of information, including weapon design drawings and medicine production methods, which were already worthy of the above, so Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s request could be completely rejected.


    It is a waste and irresponsible for a spy to ask another spy, who can find important information, to check the whereabouts of the assassination target.


    The death of a Chongcheng official like Section Chief Xie Chengze and Bureau Chief Li has no effect on the situation of the battle at all, but precious information can turn the tide of the battle! If the senior spy exposed his identity by providing such small information, the loss would definitely outweigh the gain.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he very capable? Why can¡¯t he provide such a little information?¡± A young man beside Zhu Haifeng was dissatisfied.


    Lu Yanzhou sneered: ¡°As far as I know, Zhaojun is already the highest-ranking spy we have placed on the Yan people¡¯s side, right? It¡¯s normal for such a spy to move once every few years. Now you ask him to cooperate with you in such an action that you don¡¯t know if it will be successful, have you reported to headquarters?!¡±


    He believed that in DaQi¡¯s top official¡¯s eyes, Zhaojun alone was more important than the hundreds of people in the Chongcheng Command Station.


    If these people are dead, they just have to recruit people from the army to replenish them. If something happens to Zhaojun, where will they get another Zhaojun?


    ¡°Sorry, we were reckless.¡± Zhu Haifeng immediately apologized.


    ¡°Zhaojun can¡¯t help you, but I can join your operation.¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s attitude became a little better at this moment.


    Xie Chengze was as hated as Bureau Chief Li of the Secret Service, so it was not surprising that the Chongcheng Command Station wanted to assassinate Xie Chengze. In fact, Bureau Chief Li was also on the assassination list.


    He couldn¡¯t stop this. If he stopped, these people might guess Xie Chengze¡¯s identity. When these people failed to assassinate and were arrested and confessed, what would Xie Chengze do?


    But he couldn¡¯t let these people assassinate Xie Chengze either.


    So the best way is to join them and try to stop them when the time comes.


    In fact, these people may not succeed. Xie Chengze has always been very careful, so he is not so easy to assassinate.


    ¡°Just you? Join our operation? Are you sure you¡¯re not here to hold us back?¡± The young man who thought Zhaojun had the ability to provide information before spoke again.


    Without further ado, Lu Yanzhou kicked the man in the chest, kicking him out.


    These people all have licked blood with their knives. As soon as he made a move, someone took out a gun and pointed at him, but Lu Yanzhou immediately took action. Not to mention knocking down this person, he also took the person¡¯s gun and disassembled it in just two or three moves.


    When he studied weapons in his previous life, he specially practiced this.


    ¡°At least I¡¯m better than you guys.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Zhu Haifeng was so angry by his subordinates¡¯ action that he immediately apologized to Lu Yanzhou again.


    The eyes of other people in the Chongcheng command station looking at Lu Yanzhou also changed.


    Hei She died suddenly, and then Zhaojun¡¯s liaison officer became Shancha, whom they knew nothing about, so they were naturally dissatisfied.


    But now¡­Shancha¡¯s skills are so good, they¡¯re afraid he¡¯s not simple!


    After Zhu Haifeng apologized, he agreed to let Lu Yanzhou join their operation.


    However, they have yet to decide on the specific action plan.


    Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll come back in two days.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Zhu Haifeng said.


    Lu Yanzhou met Zhu Haifeng one day, then slept at home the next day.


    The Lu family has many enemies. For his own safety, he decided not to go out these days.


    His father left him four bodyguards, plus Huzi¡­As long as he hides at home, he will be safe.


    His residence is in Western Country¡¯s occupied area!


    However, if he continued to run around like before, his head might get blown.


    After sleeping for the whole day, Lu Yanzhou went out again that night to send money to Zhou Duzhong.


    He had no money before, he couldn¡¯t give it to them even if he wanted to, but now¡­Before Lu Tao left, he left a large sum of money for him.


    He didn¡¯t spend much, so he simply gave the money to Zhou Duzhong.


    As far as he knew, Zhou Duzhong was carrying a lot of debts. Zhou Duzhong hadn¡¯t settled the money he paid for the cotton-padded clothes at the shelter yet.


    As the end of the year approaches, there should be many people who have important debts with Zhou Duzhong. If he doesn¡¯t support him, he¡¯s afraid that Zhou Duzhong may not even be able to eat the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.


    The small box containing 30,000 western currency was opened, Zhou Duzhong let out a deep breath.


    Lu Yanzhou understood him. Western currency was very valuable in DaQi. The banknotes here don¡¯t seem to be much, but the value is no less than one hundred thousand flat silver.


    It¡¯s real flat silver, not DaQi banknotes.


    Although the money wouldn¡¯t even make a splash if it was thrown into the army, it could already solve Zhou Duzhong¡¯s current predicament.


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou still has some property left by Lu Tao that can be exchanged for money, but he is being watched by Lu Tao¡¯s enemies, so he can¡¯t cash it out for the time being.


    ¡°Recently, Zhaojun has been closely watched and can¡¯t provide any information. You should be careful.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°We will be careful!¡± Zhou Duzhong promised quickly.


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou leave the clinic.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t go out the next day, but several of his classmates came to see him.


    His family members ran away and only left him in Chongcheng, and Xie Chengze once spent the night with him. Now more and more people know about it, so these few classmates also know about it.


    They wanted to comfort him, but they were afraid of accidentally poking his wound, so in the end they hesitated for a long time. Lu Yanzhou pretended to be angry and threw them out.


    What he did was too dangerous, he didn¡¯t want to harm others.


    And¡­After the scandal between Xie Chengze and him spread, Lu Yanzhou had a plan.


    He didn¡¯t dare to contact Xie Chengze before, because he was afraid of implicating Xie Chengze, and it would be known that Xie Chengze was actually Zhaojun.


    But because he provided some information to DaQi that Xie Chengze could not provide, now no one doubts Xie Chengze, and no one also doubts him¡­In this case, should he make Xie Chengze take him by force? Then he can stay by Xie Chengze¡¯s side?


    This matter needs a long-term plan. He still needs to find a reason to get close to Xie Chengze¡­Lu Yanzhou planned to wait for the intelligence station¡¯s assassination mission to be done first, then he would provoke Lu Tao¡¯s enemies, and then pretend that he couldn¡¯t deal with these enemies, ¡®bearing the humiliation¡¯, he¡¯ll go to Xie Chengze for help.


    When he stays by Xie Chengze¡¯s side, he can also protect Xie Chengze!


    He will have to stay with a ¡®traitor¡¯ like Xie Chengze¡­He will definitely be on the opposite side of his former friend.


    Lu Yanzhou waited for his classmates to leave, then continued to exercise, and that night, he went to Chongcheng Command Station again.


    Then he learned that the Chongcheng command station planned to carry out the assassination operation on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.


    It was also a coincidence that there was a person working in a big restaurant from Chongcheng Command Station, so there was news from this person that a colonel from Yan Country had booked their hotel and was going to have a banquet for some people on the 29th.


    It is said that Xie Chengze was on the banquet list.


    Chongcheng Command Station was recently chased around by the Secret Service, hiding from place to place. The pig farm was about to lose its hold, so they planned to put all their eggs in one basket.


    They are quite experienced in assassination, but there are still some problems.


    This hotel is located in an area populated by Yan people. The Secret Service and the Inspection Department are not far away. It is the territory of the Yan people, so it is not so easy to hide!


    It is very difficult for them to arrange and bring in some weapons in advance.


    ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, we can only force it.¡±


    ¡°We must give those Yan people some shock!¡±


    ¡°The worst is death!¡±


    ¡°Make those people know that being a traitor won¡¯t end well!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    These people were very emotional, Lu Yanzhou listened for a long time, then finally said: ¡°I have a safe house over there, I can give it to you.¡± That safe house was prepared by Hei She for the convenience of contacting Xie Chengze, so it was ready to use.


    Those who were planning to sacrifice their lives for righteousness were stunned for a moment.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Is there anything else you need my help with, or need me to prepare?¡±


    After thinking about it, Zhu Haifeng said, ¡°Can you get ¡õ¡õ? We¡¯ve run out of it.¡±


    ¡õ¡õ is highly toxic, if caught, they will use this thing to commit suicide.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I can get it.¡± His father has enemies and old friends, some of these old friends are gangsters, he can get this thing.


    ¡°Then I will trouble you!¡± Zhu Haifeng said.


    They discussed it again, then planned to go to the spot the next day.


    Lu Yanzhou kept their plans in mind one by one. He didn¡¯t leave until the middle of the night when they were going to slaughter pigs.


    Returning to his small house through the river as usual, Lu Yanzhou took a shower, then it was time for breakfast.


    While eating, Lu Yanzhou asked the bodyguards beside him to buy some drugs.


    ¡°Young master, what do you want this thing for?¡± The bodyguard was not very happy to buy it.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°If I find an opportunity, I might be able to use it to poison my enemy to death.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t mention who the enemy was, but the bodyguard subconsciously thought of Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou told Lu Tao about his identity as a secret spy, but he didn¡¯t tell anyone else. Naturally, these bodyguards didn¡¯t know anything about it.


    Right now, they felt that their young master was a bit stupid ¡ª he actually wanted to poison Xie Chengze, he truly indulged in fantasy!


    However, this is better than the young master eating it himself¡­The bodyguard who thought that Lu Yanzhou would have no chance to poison Xie Chengze really brought back a pack of ¡õ¡õ for Lu Yanzhou.


    After knowing that Lu Tao had left Chongcheng, Xie Chengze, who sent someone to watch over Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to commit suicide, did he?


    Well, it shouldn¡¯t be so, there is a greater possibility that Lu Yanzhou wanted to kill him.


    Xie Chengze rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little irritable, then asked his subordinate: ¡°He hasn¡¯t gone out these few days?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± The subordinate said.


    ¡°I see.¡± Xie Chengze waved his hand and told his subordinates to leave.


    As a result, his subordinate came back not long after he left: ¡°Section Chief, the person we sent to watch over Lu Yanzhou called and said he went out.¡±


    These subordinates have been with Xie Chengze for a long time, so they also know a little about Xie Chengze.


    In the past, Xie Chengze only had money in his eyes, this is the first time he cares about a person.


    Xie Chengze should really like Lu Yanzhou, so if there is news about Lu Yanzhou, they will naturally report to Xie Chengze as soon as possible.


    Xie Chengze hesitated.


    It was rumored that the reason why Lu Yanzhou was thrown away by Lu Tao was because he ruined him.


    In addition, Lu Tao has many enemies, that¡¯s why he sent someone to watch Lu Yanzhou.


    But it¡¯s impossible for him to do too much, after all, Lu Yanzhou must hate him very much now.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinates said: ¡°Section Cheif, the place where Lu Yanzhou went is exactly the place where Colonel Tian invited you to dinner the day after tomorrow. We and the Secret Service have people there to arrange, and Bureau Chief Li is still presiding over the work on site, would you like to see it too?¡±


    This colonel surnamed Tian is from the General Intelligence Bureau. He has an unusual status and is a noble. In addition, his uncle is a general, and his wife is also very well-connected. She is the daughter of one of the heads of the Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau.


    He wanted to treat people to dinner on the 29th for several reasons.


    One is because it was his birthday that day, and the other is because not long ago, his wife gave birth to a son for him.


    Taking advantage of the end of the year, Colonel Tian planned to treat people to dinner and have fun.


    Since Colonel Tian is the son-in-law of their leader, the Secret Service and the Inspection Department also attached great importance to this banquet. They asked many people to investigate the situation to avoid any accidents at that time.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Then go and have a look!¡±


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou was indeed near that restaurant.


    This restaurant is very famous, but it is no longer open, and there are people from the Secret Service patrolling around¡­The intelligence station said that a colonel wants to entertain guests here, it should be true.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face was tender and he was well dressed. The people from the Secret Service stopped after a few glances at him. He also took advantage of this to eat in a small restaurant next to it.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that the moment he entered the small restaurant, the guards started chatting about him: ¡°That young man before was quite handsome, which family¡¯s young master is he?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s from the Lu family. He¡¯s the one Xie Chengze takes a fancy to. I¡¯ve seen him before when he was caught by the Secret Service.¡±


    ¡°So he is the young master Lu in the legend!¡±


    ¡°No wonder Xie Chengze takes a fancy to him, he looks really good.¡±


    ¡°Speaking of which¡­didn¡¯t you say that Lu Tao dotes on this little son? Why did the Lu family leave but he stayed?¡±


    ¡°It is said that Xie Chengze liked him very much and threatened Lu Tao, so Lu Tao had no choice but to leave him.¡±


    ¡°I see¡­¡­¡±


    ¡­


    While these people were talking, Bureau Chief Li came and reprimanded, dissatisfied: ¡°What are you talking about? Didn¡¯t I tell you to keep an eye on this place?¡±


    When these people saw Bureau Chief Li, they dared not speak any more.


    Bureau Chief Li asked again: ¡°Have you seen any acquaintances?¡±


    Those few people who were arranged to watch the passers-by were the people from Chongcheng Command Station who joined the Secret Service three months ago.


    The intelligence personnel from Chongcheng Command Station came to Chongcheng in batches, though they might not know all, there were some who knew each other and could recognize them when they saw them.


    Bureau Chief Li has recently taken these people around to identify people. He wants to catch a few more spies from Chongcheng Command Station.


    ¡°No.¡± These people said.


    ¡°Be alert and keep looking!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Bureau Chief.¡± These people immediately answer.


    As they were talking, they saw a car driving up.


    Bureau Chief Li was a little surprised when he saw the car. The car belonged to Xie Chengze. Why did Xie Chengze come here?


    In order to make friends with Colonel Tian from Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau, he gave Colonel Tian a lot of money and took the initiative to take over the security work of the banquet.


    This time Colonel Tian hosted a banquet for guests. The Secret Service was responsible for the security work, and the Inspection Office was only an assistant.


    Logically, Xie Chengze shouldn¡¯t have come.


    ¡°Why is Section Chief Xie here?¡± Bureau Chief Li came to the side of the car and asked Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Looking for someone.¡± Xie Chengze said. He had already come, so he didn¡¯t intend to hide it. He directly tells him his reason for coming.


    Letting people know that he is very interested in Lu Yanzhou can somewhat deter some people, making them afraid to do anything to Lu Yanzhou.


    Just treat it as his pity for Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± Bureau Chief Li was puzzled.


    It was the people who met Lu Yanzhou just now who came to their senses and said: ¡°Section Chief Xie is here to find Young Master Lu? He went to the restaurant over there.¡±


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou, who was eating in the restaurant, found himself sitting next to a spy from Chongcheng Command Station that he had seen before.

 CH 54

    Lu Yanzhou knew that the people from Chongcheng Command Station would come to visit the site today, but he didn¡¯t expect to meet them.


    The spy sitting at the table next to him is the young man who was kicked by him yesterday when he spoke out against him.


    The young man who was dressed as a pig butcher yesterday wore a suit and waxed hair today. He looked gentle while looking around and eating noodles at this moment.


    When the eyes of the two met, the spy smiled shyly at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou rolled his eyes at him, snorted, then looked displeased at him, which made the spy confused.


    ¡°Sir, here is your noodle.¡± The shopkeeper bought Lu Yanzhou a bowl of noodles and a plate of cold beef.


    Lu Yanzhou picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat when the noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent. He looked up and saw Xie Chengze coming in with two people from the Inspection Department.


    Thinking of the original owner¡¯s character, Lu Yanzhou immediately glared at him, his eyes seemingly bursting into flames.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze chuckled lightly: ¡°Young Master Lu, how are you doing these days?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou clenched the chopsticks in his hand tightly: ¡°I¡¯m fine, I don¡¯t need your worry!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he broke the chopsticks in his hand with force.


    ¡°You¡¯re quite energetic.¡± Xie Chengze smiled. He sat down opposite Lu Yanzhou, pointed to Lu Yanzhou and said to the shopkeeper: ¡°Give me the same as he ordered and bring him a pair of chopsticks.¡±


    The restaurant quickly served Xie Chengze the meal like what Lu Yanzhou¡¯s order, their speed was unbelievable. The plate of cold beef was full of beef.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± This is too much, Xie Chengze¡¯s portion of beef is at least twice as much as his.


    It had been several days since he last saw Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou glanced at the food in front of him, then glared at Xie Chengze again.


    In the first two worlds, he and Xie Chengze were rarely separated. Even in the last world when Xie Chengze went to help in a closed environment, he would try his best to see him.


    However, in this world, he has been here for more than three months and he has only met Xie Chengze three times.


    ¡°What are you looking at, eat quickly. If you don¡¯t finish eating¡­believe it or not, I¡¯ll take you back?¡± Xie Chengze frowned. He didn¡¯t like Lu Yanzhou glaring at him.


    Lu Yanzhou really wanted to put down his chopsticks and let Xie Chengze take him back, but the intelligence station was preparing to assassinate Xie Chengze¡­


    He could only eat with a mouthful of humiliation.


    People around: This young master Lu eats so fast, is he taking beef as Xie Chengze¡¯s meat?


    Lu Yanzhou: It¡¯s delicious! It would be great if I could have dinner with Xie Chengze every day in the future!


    Sitting opposite Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze saw that Lu Yanzhou ate so much that his cheeks swelled up, his mood improved inexplicably, so he pushed his plate of beef in front of Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Eat more.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou stuffed a chopstick of beef into his mouth, then gave Xie Chengze a sideways glance.


    Xie Chengze was actually not hungry, but seeing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s aggrieved look at this moment¡­He gained an appetite and slowly ate the noodles in front of him.


    While eating, he also glanced at Lu Yanzhou from time to time.


    He thought that Lu Yanzhou would be haggard after being tossed about by him and abandoned by his family, but he didn¡¯t expect the reality to be the opposite.


    Lu Yanzhou looks very good, is he doing well these days?


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou, he was sure that Lu Yanzhou was fine¡­Xie Chengze felt relieved and continued eating noodles.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou had already finished the food in front of him, so he started glaring at Xie Chengze again.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s good mood disappeared in an instant: ¡°Look again and I¡¯ll dig out your eyes!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Just a look won¡¯t make you lose a piece of meat, why be so stingy!


    But Xie Chengze was not happy. He had no choice but to lower his head.


    Xie Chengze started eating again. When he finished eating, he turned around and left without saying a word to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou secretly sighed.


    Xie Chengze specially accompanied him to eat such a meal, probably because he wanted to support him, so that Lu Tao¡¯s enemies would not dare to bully him.


    Xie Chengze is a good person, but if it were like this¡­he would have no reason to approach Xie Chengze!


    Forget it, take one step at a time.


    After waiting for Xie Chengze to leave, Lu Yanzhou rushed home with a look of rage.


    On the other side, Bureau Chief Li asked Xie Chengze who had returned to the entrance of the restaurant: ¡°Since Section Chief Xie likes that Young Master Lu, why didn¡¯t he take him back?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s grind his temper first.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Bureau Chief Li secretly sympathized with Lu Yanzhou upon hearing this. He felt that the reason the Lu family left impatiently and left Lu Yanzhou behind was because Xie Chengze did something in private.


    Xie Chengze is playing with Lu Yanzhou, right? That Young Master Lu is innocent and young, so he will definitely not be able to escape Xie Chengze¡¯s palm.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what other people thought, so he went home and slept. When it got dark, he rushed to the slaughterhouse.


    When he reached there, Zhu Haifeng and the others were studying their operation plan.


    They planned to hide in the safe house provided by Lu Yanzhou in advance, and then go out after dark to ambush Xie Chengze and others on the way home.


    There are two roads at the entrance of the restaurant, so they have to divide their people into two groups.


    ¡°Separate operations like this disperse combat power, would it be successful?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°Yes, when the time comes, we can also take a few scapegoats with us,¡± Zhu Haifeng said.


    That being said, Zhu Haifeng studied the retreat route.


    They discussed it for a long time. When the discussion was finalized, to liven things up, they talked about gossip, and the spy Lu Yanzhou met during the day even said: ¡°Let me tell you, I met Xie Chengze and that young master of the Lu family during the day today. Oh, these two really have something going on! The way Xie Chengze talks to young master Lu, it seems like he is really interested in him!¡±


    ¡°Really? What was the situation at that time, tell me quickly!¡±


    ¡°I was eating at that time¡­¡± The man said vividly, describing Xie Chengze as a bully who robbed a civilian, and Lu Yanzhou was of course the unlucky one who was robbed.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was forced to listen to his own gossip, was a little helpless.


    On the other hand, there¡¯s also people who say: ¡°Xie Chengze attaches so much importance to young master Lu, if we capture young master Lu, can we use him to threaten Xie Chengze?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think about it, how can people threaten people like Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°Although this little young master Lu has a bad temper, judging by what he does, he is still a good person, and he looks handsome. It¡¯s a pity that Xie Chengze has taken a fancy to him.¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is almost thirty, isn¡¯t he? He is about ten years older than that young master Lu, is he considered an old cow eating tender grass?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    The people at Chongcheng Command Station were very active, and they didn¡¯t have enough time either, so they all moved to the safe house provided by Lu Yanzhou the next night.


    There is a cellar there where people can hide and weapons can also be stored. After they hide it, one day later, it will be the day when Colonel Tian of Yan Country treats guests to dinner.


    On this day, Lu Yanzhou asked the bodyguards not to disturb him under the pretext of taking a rest, and then made a disguise early and came to the safe house.


    Seeing that he still wrapped himself up like this, Zhu Haifeng said: ¡°Shancha, are you sure you want to fight like this?¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes looked cumbersome.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou answered.


    Another person said: ¡°Shancha, you have never let us see your appearance¡­What do you look like?¡±


    ¡°You guys better not know my identity.¡± Lu Yanzhou glanced at the man.


    Those spies heard the words and stopped talking.


    Not all of them were dispatched for this operation. Some people were arranged by Zhu Haifeng to leave early.


    All those who participated in the operation also did not know where the rest of the people went.


    There were about fifty people who came to participate in this operation. They had two characteristics. One was their strength, and the other was that those who had betrayed them knew them.


    After the deputy station chief surrendered to the enemy, his subordinates followed suit. After these people joined the Secret Service, there was no turning back. In order to perform meritorious deeds, they turned around and captured people from the Intelligence Bureau, making the life of the Intelligence Bureau even more difficult.


    They were also desperate, so they had to fight desperately.


    The men left the safehouse in the dark with their drugs either hidden in their collars or wrapped around their fingers.


    Lu Yanzhou followed the team responsible for assassinating Xie Chengze, and lay in ambush by the side of the road.


    Xie Chengze is actually not their only target. Xie Chengze is not the only one who will pass this road after the banquet. By then¡­they will kill whoever shows up.


    The cold wind was blowing, people¡¯s eyes gradually filled with tears unconsciously, and their hands and feet gradually became cold.


    Lu Yanzhou hid in the corner, motionless, as if he had merged with the night.


    The people who came with him to participate in the operation looked at him with admiration. They thought that even if this Shancha was skilled, he couldn¡¯t match them in a place like hiding his body. As a result, they couldn¡¯t keep still, but this person was silent like a rock.


    At the same time, the restaurant Colonel Tian used to entertain guests was brightly lit. People exchanged cups, making it very lively.


    There was a fireplace in the room, and the temperature was much higher than outside. Bureau Chief Li took off his coat after drinking some more wine.


    He toasted this person for a while, then toasted that person for a while, so he was very busy.


    Xie Chengze did not cast a wide net like him. He only chatted with a few of them.


    He can speak Yan¡¯s language, understand the customs of Yan country, and imitate his father¡¯s language, which is more likable than Bureau Chief Li.


    After all, everyone who should know knows that he is actually from Yan country.


    After the meal, many guests were already drunk. Bureau Chief Li blushed and came to Xie Chengze¡¯s side reeking of alcohol: ¡°Section Chief Xie, time to get ready.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    The people of DaQi hated the Yan people, but they hated the traitors even more.


    Well-known traitors like Bureau Chief Li and Xie Chengze were hated to the core.


    Just walking on the road and there would be a possibility that a loyal man would suddenly appear and want to die with them.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t care about it, he had already thought about it. When his mission was completed, he would find a chance to die in these people¡¯s hands.


    However, Bureau Chief Li is different from Xie Chengze. He cherishes his life very much, especially his life.


    Bureau Chief Li not only arranged many people to protect him, but he also never took risks.


    This time, Colonel Tian invited them to dinner. After he took over the security work, he even searched the people in the restaurant to the horizon. If they were not reliable, he would drive them away and replace them with his own people.


    Now those who serve the food in the restaurant are all from the Secret Service.


    Bureau Chief Li did more than that. In the past few days, he also checked around the restaurant.


    He didn¡¯t find any problems, but he was still worried, so he decided to find someone to get in the car with them. Before Colonel Tian and the others finished eating, they already left the restaurant first.


    There will be assassination from Chongcheng Command Station from time to time. If they come this time, they will definitely do it when they see the car leaving, then they will fall into their hands by then!


    This matter was arranged by Bureau Chief Li from the beginning to the end. Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know Bureau Chief Li¡¯s plan until the banquet started and he met with Bureau Chief Li.


    Therefore, even if Hei She is still here, Xie Chengze has no time to inform Hei She, let alone now that Hei She is dead and he has no liaison officer.


    Let¡¯s just hope that the people from Chongcheng Command Station don¡¯t come this time.


    ¡°Section Chief Xie, let¡¯s take the lead with our two cars.¡± Bureau Chief Li said to Xie Chengze.


    ¡°It¡¯s all up to Bureau Chief Li.¡± Of course, Xie Chengze would not object. This time, Bureau Chief Li was in charge of the security work, so he shouldn¡¯t get involved.


    Bureau Chief Li smiled. He makes the people dressed up like him and Xie Chengze get into their car and leave the restaurant.


    Behind their car, there were several other cars belonging to important figures in Chongcheng, all of which were disguised members of the Secret Service.


    This is in the open, and hundreds of people from the Secret Service are hiding in the dark.


    Watching the car leave, Bureau Chief Li looked at Xie Chengze: ¡°I don¡¯t know if those people at Chongcheng command station will do anything! I hope they will come!¡± He couldn¡¯t wait to capture people!


    Even if no one can be caught, the assassination attempt to destroy the Chongcheng Command Station is still a great achievement.


    Xie Chengze lit a cigarette for himself. He looked towards the dark road in the dark night: ¡°Let¡¯s follow and have a look.¡±


    Bureau Chief Li laughed when he heard the words: ¡°Section Chief Xie can go. I¡¯m a little dizzy after drinking, so I won¡¯t join in the fun.¡± He won¡¯t go to such a dangerous place!


    Lu Yanzhou and the others have been lurking for more than two hours.


    Lu Yanzhou only moved slightly a few times when his body was numb, then remained very still at other times.


    The people from Chongcheng Command Station next to him wanted to talk several times, but when they met his gaze, they stopped talking.


    Fortunately, they didn¡¯t move at all!


    Before they could talk, this Shancha stopped them with his eyes. They were feeling a little uncomfortable when they saw someone from the Secret Service walking on the road outside, probably on patrol.


    They were almost spotted!


    As the night deepened, the weather was getting colder.


    It¡¯s good that Lu Yanzhou wore more clothes for camouflage, but the rest of the information station couldn¡¯t help but tremble.


    At this time, several cars drove towards this side.


    They all recognized that the car in front was Xie Chengze¡¯s car! Although they didn¡¯t know who owned the two cars behind that car, someone who could ride those cars is not simple.


    They are ready to act!


    Although Lu Yanzhou followed, he was not the commander of this group of people. He hid behind them and was always on guard, trying his best to protect Xie Chengze.


    The place where they were was far away from the place where the car drove by. The weapons at this time were not that good, and the night was very dark. Xie Chengze¡¯s car was also modified¡­


    It is very difficult for the people at Chongcheng Command Station to hit him with a single blow. Their plan is use the firepower as cover, then rush up and use various weapons in turn after getting closer.


    Assassination is very difficult, and it is possible to succeed only with the determination to die. If it were not for this, all the senior officials of Yan Country would have been killed long ago.


    Of course, since Lu Yanzhou is Zhaojun¡¯s liaison officer, no accidents can happen, so he only needs to shoot with a gun from a distance. There is no need to rush up desperately.


    The person in charge of directing this operation waved his hand and told everyone to act.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou grabbed him quickly: ¡°This is a trap, leave!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s five senses far surpassed that of ordinary people. He noticed that when the cars came, some people followed.


    How many are there in total? Rushing up at this time is seeking death!


    Of course, he did this mainly because¡­he didn¡¯t want the Chongcheng Command Station to confront Xie Chengze at all.


    Among his many plans, he will persuade these people to leave after finding something wrong.


    Because the sound of cars passing by was loud, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words did not spread, only a few people around him heard.


    However, they didn¡¯t take it seriously: ¡°The matter has come to this, even if it is a trap, we still have to take advantage of it!¡±


    After the words fell, their hands moved.


    And as they started, many people immediately came out of the dark and attacked them.


    For a while, the sounds of guns can be heard endlessly.


    Lu Yanzhou was afraid that something might happen to Xie Chengze in the car, so he didn¡¯t dare to leave, he could only observe from a distance. Then, he saw the window of Xie Chengze¡¯s car open. The people inside started to attack Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s people. Another person was guarded in the middle. They bend their body down and being blocked by the ground, it should be Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was so tightly guarded that he shouldn¡¯t be injured¡­Lu Yanzhou relaxed and started shooting the people from the Secret Service around him.


    These are all enemies!


    This operation was expected by the Secret Service. He¡¯s afraid it will be difficult to succeed, but it would be good to kill a few more people from the Secret Service.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s shooting skills were excellent. He shot and killed several people very quickly. At this moment, someone from the Secret Service shouted: ¡°Someone is hiding in the dark! Chase him!¡±


    As soon as the words fell, someone came towards Lu Yanzhou¡¯s direction.


    Lu Yanzhou hit a few more people, but he didn¡¯t know whether the opponent was dead or alive.


    It¡¯s just that this operation was a complete failure, and those who rushed out from Chongcheng Command Station could hardly escape.


    Lu Yanzhou made a decisive decision and planned to leave.


    He had come here before, he had arranged a special escape route for himself ¡ª he didn¡¯t intend to die in such an operation.


    However, just as Lu Yanzhou was about to leave, footsteps suddenly came from ahead.


    He raised his gaze, just in time to meet Xie Chengze¡¯s gaze.


    Xie Chengze, who was supposed to be sitting in the car and protected by people, came out of an alley at this moment and was looking at him coldly.


    Lu Yanzhou ran away.

 CH 55

    After Xie Chengze found out that the people at the Chongcheng Command Station really launched the assassination today, he secretly sighed.


    Bureau Chief Li has always been cautious, so he has already laid a net¡­It may be hard for the people Chongcheng Command Station dispatched this time to escape.


    Hearing the movement not far away, the people in the Inspection Department, who followed Xie Chengze, asked if they should go to help, but Xie Chengze flatly refused: ¡°This is Bureau Chief Li credit, why should we grab it? What¡¯s more, it¡¯s not easy to take this credit. It can kill people.¡±


    Hearing this, the people in the Inspection Department immediately stopped trying to claim credit ¨C they didn¡¯t want to die!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t plan to intervene, but led his men and took a small path to the battlefield.


    Then¡­he saw Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t believe what he saw ¨C Lu Yanzhou was among those who came to assassinate him!


    Lu Yanzhou made a disguise, and his appearance was completely different from before, but Xie Chengze was certain that that person was Lu Yanzhou for some reason.


    Except for Lu Yanzhou, no one else would make him feel that way!


    Not far away, the people from Chongcheng command station are still trying their best to get close to his car, trying to kill the person in the car pretending to be him¡­He, Xie Chengze, should be Chongcheng Command Station target today.


    And Lu Yanzhou, a member of Chongcheng Command Station, came to assassinate him!


    No wonder Lu Tao didn¡¯t take Lu Yanzhou away when he left Chongcheng, because Lu Yanzhou had already joined Chongcheng Intelligence Station!


    No wonder the people that the Secret Service wanted to arrest before would flee to Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou was covering for those people!


    No wonder Lu Yanzhou, who hasn¡¯t gone out all this time, came here a few days ago¡­He came here to set up spots for this operation, right?!


    It seemed that Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t gone out for the past few days, but he might have secretly gone out a lot.


    Although he found someone to watch Lu Yanzhou, he didn¡¯t treat Lu Yanzhou as a prisoner. Lu Yanzhou is so skilled, it¡¯s not easy for people to get rid of him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart was cold when he thought that Lu Yanzhou had shot without missing a beat and had escaped without a trace.


    Just now, the other people in the Chongcheng Command Station rushed up, only Lu Yanzhou was hiding behind¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s status in Chongcheng Command Station is probably not low.


    Thinking that he was still pitying Lu Yanzhou before, the coldness in Xie Chengze¡¯s heart was replaced by anger again.


    After having a good sleep by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side that day, he hasn¡¯t had a good sleep in the past few days, even today, he still has some headaches.


    Now the people from Chongcheng Command Station wanted to assassinate him and Lu Yanzhou was also one of them. This incident made him furious.


    Lu Yanzhou actually wanted to kill him!


    When he approached Lu Yanzhou before and wanted to shelter Lu Yanzhou, did this person take him as a joke?


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face became increasingly ugly.


    ¡°Section Chief Xie?¡± People from the Secret Service chased after Lu Yanzhou and saw Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze thought a lot, but it didn¡¯t take long. He came back to his senses and said to the Secret Service: ¡°He ran in that direction.¡±


    He was pointing in the wrong direction.


    Although he came here with the people from the Inspection Department, the eyesight of the other people in the Inspection Department was not as good as his. He also blocked their view by standing in front of them, so they probably didn¡¯t see the direction Lu Yanzhou left.


    So even if he points the wrong way, no one will know.


    Seeing the people from the Secret Service fleeing in the direction he pointed, Xie Chengze sneered.


    He originally thought that Lu Yanzhou was a simple and kind person, so he was embarrassed to do anything to Lu Yanzhou, so as not to frighten the kid.


    But now¡­Since Lu Yanzhou is a member of Chongcheng secret agents and his colleague, he will not be easily intimidated. He should know that in their profession, sometimes they can¡¯t help themselves, and they always have to pay something.


    He had already disregarded life and death, and was prepared to die at any time. Moreover, no one knew his identity after Hei She¡¯s death, so there was a high probability that he would die carrying his infamy.


    Since he was like this, shouldn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou pay something too, for example, to his pillow side person.


    He was afraid that young master Lu, who was only eighteen years old, would be overwhelmed, so even if he was thinking about it, he didn¡¯t dare to reveal it.


    But now young master Lu is not even afraid of killing people, so he shouldn¡¯t be afraid of him.


    The most important thing is¡­he has been unable to get in touch with the people at Chongcheng Command Station, so if he can get young master Lu to his side, he can give out information through him.


    Of course, the information in his hand will not be given for nothing, so when the time comes, young master Lu will naturally satisfy him.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t plan to reveal his identity as ¡®Zhaojun¡¯. He just wanted to get Lu Yanzhou to his side, and then reveal some information to Lu Yanzhou.


    Of course, it must be under the condition that Lu Yanzhou has served him well.


    Xie Chengze finally felt better when he thought that Lu Yanzhou might do everything to please him in order to obtain information.


    He¡¯s going to do it like this. He must not live long anyway, so he should enjoy it before he dies, he can also send some information out, it¡¯s very good.


    Besides, it¡¯s good to die at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hands.


    Compared to dying at Yan¡¯s people¡¯s hand, he wanted to die at the hands of his own people. It would be even better if the person who killed him was Lu Yanzhou.


    The corners of Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth curled up.


    Waiting for the people from Chongcheng Command Station to either die or be captured, Bureau Chief Li finally arrived late.


    Bureau Chief Li was actually afraid that Xie Chengze would take credit from him.


    But thinking of Xie Chengze being able to talk and laugh with Colonel Tian at the banquet before, it won¡¯t hurt to give Xie Chengze some credit.


    In the end, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t take credit from him!


    Bureau Chief Li was very happy. When he saw Xie Chengze, a smile bloomed on his face: ¡°Section Chief Xie, you seem to be in a good mood.¡±


    ¡°Mm, I saw a very interesting scene.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Bureau Chief Li¡¯s mouth twitched. They were fighting here before. How could such a scene be interesting?


    Could this Xie Chengze be a pervert who likes to watch dead people or murder?


    There are some people in their Secret Service who like to torture people!


    Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yanzhou already likes men, so it¡¯s normal to have other problems too.


    Bureau Chief Li didn¡¯t want to get close to Xie Chengze for a while.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t leave. He stayed by the side to watch Bureau Chief Li collect the bodies.


    Bureau Chief Li felt more and more that his previous guess was true.


    However, Bureau Chief Li doesn¡¯t care about Xie Chengze right now. He urges his men to clear the road quickly, then asks someone to go for him to apologize to Colonel Tian¡¯s guests whose car he borrowed and was battered by ammunition. Of course, he¡¯s going to send those people home with the Secret Service vehicles, that¡¯s what he¡¯s going to do.


    Getting these things done and ensuring that all the people attending the banquet can go home safely and smoothly before Bureau Chief Li is free to listen to his subordinates¡¯ report on this incident.


    ¡°Bureau Chief, twenty-three of our people died this time, and a few of them may not be able to survive but forty-seven of the other party died, and five of them survived¡­¡±


    ¡°Why are there so few people alive?¡± Bureau Chief Li asked.


    ¡°They all hid poison and committed suicide when they found something wrong. Of the five alive, three were knocked unconscious by us, so they didn¡¯t take the poison.¡±


    ¡°What about the other two?¡±


    ¡°Those two hesitated for a moment so they didn¡¯t take the poison right away, that¡¯s how we caught them.¡±


    ¡°Take me to see!¡± Bureau Chief Li said immediately.


    Bureau Chief Li soon came to the captives. He found that Xie Chengze had already come one step ahead.


    Xie Chengze was still asking the two sober captives: ¡°One of your men has been hiding in the dark, do you know who he is?¡±


    ¡°That guy is pretty good¡­¡±


    ¡°You all rushed out, but he didn¡¯t come out, did he betray you?¡±


    ¡°Do you hate him?¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze asked these two people a lot of questions, all related to Lu Yanzhou. When asking questions, he kept staring at these two people.


    These two people stayed under the streetlight, so he could see their appearance clearly. It was also through observing the expressions of these two people that Xie Chengze felt that these two people should not know Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity.


    That¡¯s good, so he doesn¡¯t have to kill anyone to silence them.


    If he killed someone in this situation, Bureau Chief Li would definitely suspect him.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze stretched out his hand again, and pinched the face of one of them: ¡°You look pretty good, but it¡¯s a pity that you can¡¯t compare to young master Lu.¡±


    The man got angry and cursed loudly.


    Xie Chengze was smiling, not angry at all.


    He had already mentioned Lu Yanzhou, and this person didn¡¯t have any special reaction, he obviously really didn¡¯t know Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity.


    Bureau Chief Li came for a while now, seeing Xie Chengze asking questions, he didn¡¯t bother.


    However, he didn¡¯t expect that Xie Chengze would actually molest the captives in the end.


    ¡°Section Chief Xie¡­¡± Bureau Chief Li was a little worried. He still had use for this prisoner, so he couldn¡¯t give them to Xie Chengze for the time being. Of course, after the interrogation, if Xie Chengze wanted him, it was not impossible for him to give him away.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I¡¯m just asking casually. Bureau Chief Li doesn¡¯t need to worry about me. You also don¡¯t need to give him to me. For the time being, I haven¡¯t seen anyone more handsome than the young master of the Lu family.¡±


    This Xie Chengze, why won¡¯t he hide his perverted hobbies? Bureau Chief Li found this disgusting and didn¡¯t want to talk about it at all, so he changed the subject: ¡°Bureau Chief Xie is very interested in that person who ran away?¡±


    In this operation, of course someone ran away, two on the other side ran away, and one on their side ran away. He heard that the one who ran away killed several of them.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I met him face to face, he is very skilled, not weaker than me.¡±


    Bureau Chief Li was shocked.


    Although he has a little disdain for Xie Chengze, who has special preferences, he still has to admit that Xie Chengze is very skilled.


    Even in the entire Chongcheng, there are very few people who can compare with Xie Chengze in skill.


    That person is so skilled? Will he come to assassinate him?


    Bureau Chief Li immediately decided to add a few more bodyguards by his side!


    The person pretending to be Xie Chengze has already gotten out of the car.


    Because he was afraid that the people from Chongcheng Command Station would run away if they found that Xie Chengze was not in the car, he pretended until the end, and because they had prepared for it, he was not injured in the previous battle.


    However, Xie Chengze¡¯s car is no longer usable.


    Bureau Chief Li said: ¡°Section Chief Xie, I will have your car repaired and then send it to you.¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Then I would like to thank Bureau Chief Li.¡±


    Bureau Chief Li wanted to find a car to take Xie Chengze back, but Xie Chengze refused.


    He lives not far from here, he will just walk back.


    On the way back, Xie Chengze said to the people around him: ¡°Early tomorrow morning, you will take someone to capture Lu Yanzhou back for me.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinates were a little puzzled. They didn¡¯t understand why Xie Chengze suddenly wanted to capture him, but they didn¡¯t ask any more questions.


    Xie Chengze always does things as he pleases.


    When Xie Chengze returned home, Lu Yanzhou had already returned to their safe house, then he saw that Zhu Haifeng and another person were already in the safe house.


    The other group was led by Zhu Haifeng himself. Of course, as the station master, Zhu Haifeng did not rush out just like Lu Yanzhou, and escaped in time after realizing that something was wrong.


    Zhu Haifeng was not injured, but the man who was in charge of protecting him was injured and was in a very bad condition.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou found the toolbox he had put here in advance without saying a word, and began to help the man treat his wound.


    Zhu Haifeng was a little surprised by his proficiency in taking out bullets and sewing: ¡°You also have medical skills?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Those Yan people will find out about here soon, you leave as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°We will.¡± Zhu Haifeng was a little sad, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be a trap. Many brothers died this time.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°You should have thought this was a trap.¡±


    The people from Chongcheng Command Station wanted to do something before the year, it was easy to guess. It is not surprising that the Secret Service could guess it. Zhu Haifeng should also know that the Secret Service could guess it.


    ¡°Some things have to be done.¡± Zhu Haifeng said.


    Lu Yanzhou had already helped the wounded man bandage the wound, then he took out a painkiller and stuffed it into his mouth.


    The man swallowed it with his mouth open, and then left with Zhu Haifeng.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t delay, he took off his coat and threw it here, then quickly fled.


    Not long after they left, people from the Secret Service came to find them, but they were all gone.


    When Lu Yanzhou returned to his residence, he felt a little uncomfortable.


    He only met Chongcheng Command Station people a few times, so naturally he didn¡¯t develop a deep relationship with them, but it always made him feel uncomfortable when they died in front of him.


    During this period, those that are dead are far more.


    Lu Yanzhou forced himself to sleep for a while.


    He stayed up for a long time before falling asleep, but just as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the movement outside.


    When Lu Yanzhou went out, he saw that the people from the Inspection Department had their weapon pointed at his bodyguard and Huzi¡¯s heads. Not only that, someone else looked at him with a smile: ¡°Young master Lu, we, the Inspection Department, need you to come with us. Please cooperate with the investigation.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was helpless: ¡°What happened?¡± The people from the Inspection Department came to capture him early in the morning. Could it be that Xie Chengze recognized him?


    He made a disguise, and ordinary people would not be able to recognize him, but Xie Chengze is not an ordinary person!


    They used to go on missions together, even when he changed his face, Xie Chengze could still recognize him!


    Xie Chengze is Zhaojun, so he won¡¯t hurt him. Taking him away this time may be to reconnect with their intelligence station!


    ¡°Young master Lu, you¡¯ll know if you follow us for a while.¡± The inspector said sympathetically.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t resist and followed him.


    He also has no way to resist, this is the Inspection Department. If he resists, he will just make life difficult with Yan people¡­that means he doesn¡¯t want to live!


    For example, his bodyguards. If they were Lu Tao¡¯s enemies, they would definitely fight to the death, but because they were from the Inspection Department, they didn¡¯t dare to do anything.


    Lu Yanzhou had originally planned to make Xie Chengze take him by force, but now he finally got his wish, so he was in a good mood.


    Of course, he was also a little embarrassed.


    Although Xie Chengze was not in the car, what they did yesterday was indeed to assassinate Xie Chengze. He doesn¡¯t know if Xie Chengze is angry¡­


    Lu Yanzhou thought a lot, but put on a humiliated and angry look on his face, and then he was sent to Xie Chengze¡¯s residence.


    He knew that Xie Chengze wanted to meet him! He didn¡¯t have a chance to talk to Xie Chengze when he came back here last time, but this time he definitely has a chance!


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze indignantly.


    Seeing him like this, Xie Chengze laughed: ¡°Come here, gag his mouth, cover his eyes, tie his hands and feet, and send him to my bed!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°???¡± Again?


    There is no need to do this, right?!

 CH 56

    Lu Yanzhou was tied up by people from the Inspection Department and sent to Xie Chengze¡¯s room.


    Xie Chengze had tied him up before, but not this tight. It was very easy for him to escape then, but today was different. His hands and feet were tied very tightly.


    There were also thin pieces of cloth wrapped around his legs, making him unable to struggle.


    Lu Yanzhou lay upright on the bed and secretly sighed.


    Xie Chengze must have recognized him last night.


    Now that Xie Chengze treats him like this, it is easy to understand.


    He went to assassinate Xie Chengze yesterday! Xie Chengze must be angry!


    It should be that Xie Chengze wanted to teach him a lesson by tying him here.


    As long as he is obedient, Xie Chengze will let him go sooner or later, and then he will have a good talk with Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou thought very well, so he was very relaxed.


    Xie Chengze came in from the outside. Seeing that he was not afraid at all, his mood was extremely complicated.


    This Lu Yanzhou is really a qualified spy. He has been captured by him, and he still doesn¡¯t show the slightest difference.


    His head hurts intermittently and his reason also disappears along with the pain.


    Thinking that this person lied to him and wanted to kill him¡­Xie Chengze stepped forward and slowly cut Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes with a pair of scissors.


    When there were outsiders before, Lu Yanzhou kept ¡®struggling¡¯, but now he was sure that Xie Chengze was alone in the room, so he stopped struggling and let Xie Chengze do whatever he wanted.


    Xie Chengze probably wanted to scare him again.


    He woke up from his sleep, then was brought here before he had time to put on his clothes. Right now, he was only wearing pajamas, which were cut open by Xie Chengze, so he couldn¡¯t help feeling cold.


    However, the next moment, a warm body pressed down.


    Xie Chengze leaned on his chest and bit him.


    At this moment, there was only one thought in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mind¡ªfortunately, he took a shower after returning home early in the morning!


    Lu Yanzhou was already familiar with everything that happened next.


    He thought that in this world, he and Xie Chengze would not have any emotional entanglements, but¡­


    He only met Xie Chengze a few times and they didn¡¯t even say a few words, but suddenly they developed to the last step!


    Well, he has to admit, he loves it.


    The many skills he had got from experience before, he couldn¡¯t use them this time. He was tied up like a mummy, so he couldn¡¯t even hug Xie Chengze.


    He doesn¡¯t know if Xie Chengze is tired or not.


    In his words¡­not physically tired, but mentally tired.


    Of course Xie Chengze was tired, but he felt good.


    After he took a fancy to Lu Yanzhou, he knew what he felt toward Lu Yanzhou.


    He originally thought that with his identity and appearance, Lu Yanzhou would definitely not want to take the initiative to hug him, so he feared that he would never have the chance to be with Lu Yanzhou.


    Now¡­it¡¯s alright to force a little bit, right?


    Man is really¡­Even if he is unwilling, he will become energetic after a tease.


    After it was over, Xie Chengze lay beside Lu Yanzhou and soon fell asleep.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Chengze just fell asleep? Still don¡¯t let him go?


    Forget it, he didn¡¯t sleep much last night, and it¡¯s good to sleep for a while now¡­


    Lu Yanzhou followed and fell asleep.


    Lu Yanzhou was woken up by the movement on his body. Xie Chengze was molesting him again.


    Oh, it¡¯s not just teasing, immediately afterwards, Xie Chengze sat on him again.


    It feels good, but¡­can he let him go?


    Of course Xie Chengze would not let Lu Yanzhou go.


    This was his first time, so he didn¡¯t want to hear the person he liked yell at him and glared at him.


    During this period, he even refrained from making a sound, lest Lu Yanzhou suddenly couldn¡¯t do it because he heard his voice.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t encounter such troubles.


    Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds are really very energetic.


    Lu Yanzhou was captured early in the morning by the people from the Inspection Department.


    After some willful scenes, it was already evening.


    Xie Chengze felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lu Yanzhou not only being tied up by him, but also had a lot of teeth marks bitten by him.


    But he quickly hides his emotions.


    If he hadn¡¯t been lenient, Lu Yanzhou would have been arrested and killed last night. He had saved Lu Yanzhou¡¯s life, so even if he did something, it should be right.


    Even though he thought so, Xie Chengze still used scissors to cut the cloth strip wrapped around Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s skill is very good, he is comparable to him. He was injured when he forced Lu Yanzhou just now, so he may not be able to beat Lu Yanzhou now.


    He didn¡¯t want to fight either. After sleeping for a few hours, he was very satisfied now and didn¡¯t want to move.


    However, he was hungry, and Lu Yanzhou should be hungry too. They needed food and water.


    Thinking of facing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s disgust after releasing Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze was not in a good mood.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I like you very much. If you are sensible, just stay with me and I won¡¯t treat you badly.¡± Xie Chengze said while cutting the cloth from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    Lu Yanzhou is not a fool, he must know how to choose.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were already exposed.


    Xie Chengze thought he would see disgust in his eyes, but¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were full of concern?


    Xie Chengze suspected that he was wrong.


    No, it¡¯s not necessarily that he was wrong, it¡¯s also possible that Lu Yanzhou is too good at acting.


    Lu Yanzhou was indeed a qualified spy. He was still assassinating him last night, but today he was able to look at him with such concern and even love.


    But that¡¯s fine too.


    Xie Chengze dug out the handkerchief from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mouth again.


    He began to wonder what Lu Yanzhou would say.


    He recognized Lu Yanzhou last night, but Lu Yanzhou probably didn¡¯t know about it, so for Lu Yanzhou, he simply fell in love with him.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­should be trying to find a way to get information from him, right?


    Then, Xie Chengze heard Lu Yanzhou ask, ¡°Are you injured?¡±


    Xie Chengze felt warm in his heart.


    Although he knew it was fake, he liked that Lu Yanzhou cared about him.


    What he admired the most was that Lu Yanzhou looked at such an ugly face of his, but he could still be so affectionate.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°Let me go, I¡¯ll take a look at you.¡± Xie Chengze had forced it before, he was very afraid that Xie Chengze would get hurt.


    In their previous two worlds, Xie Chengze was afraid of pain.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s request, Xie Chengze immediately turned cold: ¡°No.¡± Lu Yanzhou wanted to run, right?


    Lu Yanzhou froze for a moment, then realized that Xie Chengze was guarding himself.


    This is not surprising, he was still assassinating Xie Chengze yesterday.


    Worried that there would be another accident and he would not be able to speak clearly, Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°Hi Zhaojun, I am your liaison officer Shancha.¡±


    Xie Chengze froze instantly.


    From the beginning to the end, he did not intend to let Lu Yanzhou know that he was actually a member of Chongcheng Command Station.


    Firstly, he can¡¯t expose his identity at will, and secondly¡­he wants to get Lu Yanzhou, but if he is a colleague, it is naturally difficult to do so.


    In the end¡­Lu Yanzhou turned out to be his liaison officer?


    Lu Yanzhou actually knew his identity?!


    He had guessed before that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s status in the Chongcheng Command Station should be very high¡­indeed it¡¯s very high.


    ¡°Let me go, I¡¯ll take a look at your injuries.¡± Lu Yanzhou spoke again.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou expressionlessly for a while, then cut the piece of cloth from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand.


    He suddenly thought that the last time Lu Yanzhou was captured by him, although he had been struggling in front of others, but after only the two of them were left, Lu Yanzhou became very quiet.


    Same thing today.


    And last night, when he had the opportunity to keep Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou actually had the opportunity to assassinate him too, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t do anything after seeing him.


    So Lu Yanzhou has always known his identity.


    In Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes at that time, he, Zhaojun, might still be an admirable senior.


    Then Lu Yanzhou was captured and forced by his senior.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the many storms and waves experienced in these years, Xie Chengze might not be able to stabilize his expression right now.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care what Xie Chengze was thinking. Without any restraint, he rushed to Xie Chengze to see Xie Chengze¡¯s wound.


    Xie Chengze was indeed injured. Reckless actions with no experience will not end well!


    ¡°You ask someone to boil some water, wash it well, and then apply some medicine¡­It will be terrible if you get infected!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou blankly.


    Lu Yanzhou kissed him: ¡°Good boy.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Is Lu Yanzhou coaxing a child? Even his parents never coaxed him like this!


    Xie Chengze put on his clothes and got up, ready to ask someone to boil water.


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly followed, looking at him cautiously.


    Xie Chengze was speechless: ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Such a small injury won¡¯t affect him at all!


    ¡°It¡¯s always right to be careful!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    After Xie Chengze gave the orders, Lu Yanzhou urged him to rest on the bed, and said: ¡°Hei She told me your information before he died, and I became your liaison officer. At that time, there were people from the Secret Service by my side. Afraid that our contact will be discovered like Hei She by the Secret Service, I dare not contact you rashly.¡±


    Xie Chengze gave a ¡®hmm¡¯, he didn¡¯t know how to face Lu Yanzhou now.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Every time I saw you before, I always acted reluctantly, it was just acting. I have always liked you very much.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked up at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou kissed him again: ¡°The first time I saw you, my heart was moved.¡± He could bear it before, but now he was already with Xie Chengze¡­Lu Yanzhou has no way to control his feelings for Xie Chengze now.


    He is not very clear about Xie Chengze¡¯s experience in this world, but he knows that Xie Chengze must have had a hard time these years.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou pulled him into a hug: ¡°AZe, I planned to pretend to be hunted down in a few days, and then rely on you, but I didn¡¯t expect you to come to me on my own initiative. I am very happy.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak, but Lu Yanzhou continued to babble about love.


    While talking, Lu Yanzhou felt the stiff Xie Chengze in his arms slowly soften.


    Xie Chengze tied him up and did such a thing to him, which was a bit beyond his expectation.


    However, when he thinks about it, it¡¯s not surprising.


    Although Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know all the things in the past, they were close friends after all. Xie Chengze must have felt close when he saw him.


    Xie Chengze has been working as a spy. He must be under a lot of pressure and felt cheated by him, so he wanted to teach him a lesson, and finally developed into this¡­it¡¯s like that, right?


    No matter what, they are already like this, so let¡¯s be together in this life!


    In the name of Zhaojun, Lu Yanzhou provided some information to both DaQi and the Self-Defense Regiment.


    There is no merit in giving weapon design drawings, and there is no merit in letting the Self-Defense Regiment get rid of the encirclement and suppression¡ªbecause of his information, many Yan people died at that time.


    However, he gave the method of making medicine, provided financial support to the Self-Defense Regiment, and helped the people at the bottom of Chongcheng, all of which are meritorious deeds.


    If he saves a little more, he will have enough merit to heal Xie Chengze¡¯s face!


    Of course, there¡¯s no need to rush.


    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to treat Xie Chengze, it¡¯s mainly about treating his face¡­After his face is cured, Xie Chengze will start a brand new life!


    Therefore, they can wait for a suitable time, for example, when they no longer need to provide information, he will then heal Xie Chengze¡¯s face.


    At that time¡­ even if those people wanted to capture Xie Chengze, they would have nowhere to find him. After all, Xie Chengze¡¯s face has changed.


    Lu Yanzhou thought very well. After thinking about it, he kissed Xie Chengze again.


    What he recognizes is the soul. Although Xie Chengze his face has changed, he still likes him: ¡°AZe, I really like you.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t believe a word.


    It¡¯s normal for him to like Lu Yanzhou, to put it bluntly, it¡¯s just for his apperance.


    However, Lu Yanzhou has no reason to like him.


    So what if he is Zhaojun? He¡¯s so ugly, and he¡¯s still a man!


    Compared to Lu Yanzhou liking him, the greater possibility is that Lu Yanzhou saw that things had developed to this point, so he could only use this to comfort him, so as not to lose such an important spy like ¡®Zhaojun¡¯.


    But that¡¯s not bad either.


    As long as Lu Yanzhou is willing to accompany him.


    Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou back: ¡°I like you too.¡±

 CH 57

    Chongcheng bottom common people basically don¡¯t take a bath all winter.


    Hot water is needed for bathing, firewood is used to heat up hot water, and firewood needs to be bought with money.


    Lu Yanzhou previously spent a lot of money on providing a place for people to stay and take a bath.


    However, whether it¡¯s him or Xie Chengze, they didn¡¯t lack this little money. They can take a bath whenever they want to take a bath. It is just that, in order to avoid being noticed by the bodyguards, Lu Yanzhou often doesn¡¯t take hot baths and only rinses himself with cold water.


    About half an hour after Xie Chengze ordered people to boil the hot water, someone came to report that the water had been boiled and it was time to take a bath.


    The bathing place is downstairs. Xie Chengze took Lu Yanzhou there. There was a bathtub in the small room, which already had bath water at a suitable temperature with two buckets of boiling water beside it.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, and took off his clothes generously.


    When he first learned that Lu Yanzhou was his liaison officer, he was a little confused, but now he has calmed down.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou knows that he is Zhaojun, it doesn¡¯t matter.


    All he wanted was to live a better life before death, and the current situation is exactly what he wants.


    ¡°You have injuries, so you can¡¯t stay in the bath for too long. It¡¯s best not to use the bathtub. You stand beside me, I¡¯ll wash it for you.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou. Without any objection, he let Lu Yanzhou scoop up water to help him wash his body.


    Lu Yanzhou washed him very seriously.Being bathed by Lu Yanzhou like this, Xie Chengze felt it again, so he looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Although Lu Yanzhou is young, he has a lot of muscles on his body, completely different from ordinary teenagers. He likes it very much.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°When did you join Chongcheng Command Station?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°A year ago.¡± He didn¡¯t hide anything, and directly told all about his past with Hei She.


    Of course, he added some content such as Hei She training him in the middle, otherwise there is no way to explain his skills.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t become suspicious, and asked again: ¡°How is Chongcheng Command Station¡¯s situation in the past 3 months?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°I haven¡¯t had much contact with them, so I don¡¯t know much about them. I only know the general situation.¡± Lu Yanzhou said everything he knew.


    After thinking for a while, Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°The people at Chongcheng Command Station don¡¯t know my identity, and I don¡¯t participate in their operation. I went yesterday because they were going to attack you. I was afraid that they would hurt you, so I followed them to take a look. I thought you were in the car, but seeing that they couldn¡¯t get close to the car, I planned to leave, but I didn¡¯t expect to run into you.¡±


    ¡°You know I recognized you?¡± Xie Chengze was taken aback.


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t recognize me, why would you tie me up early in the morning?¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed.


    Indeed, if he hadn¡¯t recognized Lu Yanzhou last night, he would never have kidnapped him early this morning.


    Lu Yanzhou knew him well.


    If he hadn¡¯t done something stupid to Lu Yanzhou today, maybe they could become confidants.


    However, he can¡¯t become a confidant, he can enjoy his time in the present.


    Xie Chengze pulled Lu Yanzhou over and kissed him.


    The guest act as the host1To turn from passive to active, Lu Yanzhou deepened the kiss.


    Xie Chengze was in a daze when he was kissed. Lu Yanzhou was very gentle, which made him feel like he was being cherished¡­


    This is very good. Like this, even if he dies in a few days, he won¡¯t live in vain.


    ¡°Shall we do it again?¡± Xie Chengze bent over the bathtub.


    Lu Yanzhou was quiet, then quickly looked away: ¡°Don¡¯t think about it! You are injured! Can¡¯t you cherish your body?¡±


    Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou probably didn¡¯t want to touch him. However, he wants to be with Lu Yanzhou because he loves him: ¡°Then we¡¯ll do it when my injury recovers?¡±


    ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll go and prepare something so you won¡¯t get hurt again,¡± Lu Yanzhou tried to restrain himself, ¡°I¡¯m going to get some medicine for you now.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    Lu Yanzhou brought the wound medicine into the bathroom. After Xie Chengze finished bathing, he applied the medicine to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was very calm, not shy at all. Lu Yanzhou also didn¡¯t take it seriously, mainly because of the first two worlds, Xie Chengze was also like this.


    The Xie Chengze in this world has been licking blood with a knife, so it¡¯s even more impossible for him to be shy or embarrassed in such a place.


    The two packed up before leaving the bathroom.


    Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze before, when they were outside, he will continue to act, so after going out, he looked at Xie Chengze with a mixed gaze of anger and fear.


    Xie Chengze also entered the act instantly: ¡°You¡¯d better be obedient, otherwise¡­Not only will you suffer, your classmates, those in your shelter, I won¡¯t let anyone go.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou lowered his head indignantly, but he didn¡¯t dare to resist anymore.


    People in the Inspection Department: Their Section Chief is really good at training people!


    The two of them haven¡¯t eaten all day, so after going out, Xie Chengze immediately asked for food to be served.


    This era conditions were limited, the ingredients are far less abundant than later generations, so it was also hard to get fresh ones. However, because today is new year eve, the two dinners were very sumptuous.


    Boiled chicken, bacon, braised fish, vermicelli meatball soup¡­the table was full with the new year eve dinner.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw this table of dishes, he just remembered that today is new year eve.


    The Lu family left Chongcheng, his four bodyguards and Hu Zi have no family members, he is also busy¡­so much has occurred that he didn¡¯t care about the new year.


    However, now he can celebrate the new year with Xie Chengze, it¡¯s pretty good.


    Lu Yanzhou was very hungry, so soaking the rice in the soup, he dug in.


    When the two have eaten and drank enough, it¡¯s already past 8 pm.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinate, some of which were natives of Chongcheng or have settled down in Chongcheng, all went home for the new year. However, there are also some people, who have no relatives or friends in Chongcheng, gathered in Xie Chengze¡¯s residence to celebrate the new year.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s house is very big, so it can accommodate many people. Now these people just get together to play cards. They also asked Xie Chengze if he wanted to join.


    Xie Chengze is not interested in such entertainment, so he turns to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Let¡¯s go back to sleep.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou followed him upstairs with a face full of humiliation.


    People in the Inspection Department: Their section chief is so energetic, he did it all day and he could still do it at night.


    Tsk. Tsk. That Lu Yanzhou is also quite pitiful. There were bite marks on his neck too, they just don¡¯t like what he¡¯ll look like.


    It¡¯s just that young people really care about face, there really is nothing unusual about his walk.


    Xie Chengze really felt uncomfortable. When he said to sleep, it¡¯s really simple sleep.


    With Lu Yanzhou by his side, he can sleep well. He likes to sleep with Lu Yanzhou.


    Although the two of them took a nap during the day, it¡¯s not enough rest. They quickly fell asleep, and slept until the next day when the sun was bright.


    It¡¯s the new year!


    Another rare good sleep¡­Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t remember when was the last time.


    Thinking about it, he was pulled into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were still closed but he still kissed him skillfully.


    Xie Chengze suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Lu Yanzhou¡¯s nose.


    Lu Yanzhou woke up in a daze, looking at Xie Chengze puzzled.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°Have you ever had someone else before? Who is it?¡± He investigated Lu Yanzhou before, but he didn¡¯t find anyone who had a relationship with Lu Yanzhou before. However, for a spy like Lu Yanzhou, if he really were cautious, no one would find anything.


    Not to mention that Lu Yanzhou is not picky. He can spew out all kinds of love words to him.


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said: ¡°How could I have anyone before! I only ever liked you!¡±


    Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou kissed him directly.


    They were messing around for two days, but they didn¡¯t forget business. While Xie Chengze was getting dressed, he told Lu Yanzhou a few things he had learned recently.


    Some of the information he got some time ago is now obsolete, however, these pieces of information are still valuable.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯ll go out later to send the information out.¡±


    Xie Chengze thought for a moment, then took out a suitcase from under the bed and threw it to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Take it and spend it.¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou opened the suitcase, he was shocked. The suitcase was closely packed with western currency, it has to be at least 100,000!


    ¡°Give it all to me?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked subconsciously.


    ¡°I am here, the last thing I need is money.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    He looks like he loves money to the outside world, so naturally many people give him money.


    However, he actually has very little to spend money on.


    As for sending the money to Chongcheng Command Station¡­When one of Hei She¡¯s student contacted him before, he would send money to Chongcheng Command Station too.


    As a result, he gave it away a few times, then they started asking for it, saying it was too little.


    He didn¡¯t care much about the money, and he didn¡¯t feel bad about giving it out, but the attitude of the person who received the money made him uncomfortable.


    So, when Zhu Haifeng re-established the command station in Chongcheng, and when he reconnected with Hei She, he stopped giving money. He only said that the money he got was used to please his superiors and bribe his subordinates.


    The Inspection Department received money quickly. Some people will always give them money for no reason, so his subordinates also give him some of the ill-gotten money. So even if he sent out a lot, there are still many left.


    He is willing to give Lu Yanzhou more things needed in life that couldn¡¯t be bought to death.


    What¡¯s more, part of the money in this suitcase was given by Lu Tao when he came to pick up Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°AZe, thank you!¡± Lu Yanzhou said immediately.


    There are so many places where he could spends money! Zhou Duzhong is very short of money too!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bodyguards and Hu Zi had already been released yesterday. Lu Yanzhou sent the information provided by Xie Chengze to Chongcheng Command Station on the pretext of seeing them out.


    After finishing these, Lu Yanzhou returned to Xie Chengze¡¯s residence.


    When he was outside, he looked unhappy and stepped on the wooden stairs loudly, but when he went upstairs and entered Xie Chengze¡¯s bedroom, he immediately smiled and leaned over to Xie Chengze, who was reading a book, and kissed Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Has the information been sent out?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Then, can you stay at home with me?¡± The Inspection Department is also on holiday for the new year, so Xie Chengze is very free these days.


    Of course, it was the opposite for the Secret Service. In order to find out useful information as soon as possible, Bureau Chief Li didn¡¯t go home on New Year¡¯s Eve yesterday and stayed in the Secret Service all the time.


    ¡°Of course, but I have to go out at night to give money to people.¡±


    ¡°Who do you want to send money to?¡± Xie Chengze asked with a frown.


    Lu Yanzhou naturally didn¡¯t hide it: ¡°Give it to the Self-Defense Regiment.¡±


    ¡°You are still in contact with the Self-Defense Regiment?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou scratched his hair, not knowing how to explain it.


    However, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t delve into it: ¡°They are poor, you can send some money, but I have some bad news about the Self-Defense Regiment¡­Yan Country has sent a ruthless message about an all-round blockade of the Self-Defense Regiment after the New Year.¡±


    Xie Chengze took advantage of the situation and said a few things about the Self-Defense Regiment.


    ¡°Aze, you have helped them a lot!¡± Lu Yanzhou was very happy.


    ¡°I¡¯m helping you¡­How will you thank me?¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I will take good care of you at night.¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback for a moment, and then began to look forward to the night.


    It turned out that at night¡­


    The service Lu Yanzhou was talking about turned out to be a massage!


    Although it was indeed very comfortable, it was completely different from what he had imagined.


    Granted, Lu Yanzhou also left after he finished massaging him too.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou, does this count as throwing away after use?


    He wants Lu Yanzhou to treat him better, does he need to give out more information and money?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze had thought so much!


    The house Xie Chengze lived in originally had a tunnel under it, and Xie Chengze had also remodeled it over the years¡­Lu Yanzhou left through the tunnel and walked towards Zhou Duzhong¡¯s clinic.


    He and Zhou Duzhong had other contact methods, but that method was only suitable for giving information, not money, so Lu Yanzhou could only make a trip in person.


    In Zhou Duzhong¡¯s clinic, Zhou Duzhong and the doctor have already fallen asleep.


    Although Shancha gave them a sum of money not long ago to relieve their urgent needs, they are still very very short of money.


    So in order to keep warm, Zhou Duzhong and the doctor could only sleep on the same bed.


    However, even if it¡¯s like this, it¡¯s still cold¡­


    Zhou Duzhong put the cotton-padded jacket between the two quilts and covered his body. When he finally warmed up a bit, he said to the doctor: ¡°This year is really difficult!¡±


    Zhou Duzhong owed a lot of money outside, his family couldn¡¯t stand it, so they kicked him out. He was not allowed to go home for new year eve dinner.


    He can only live in the clinic, living a miserable life with the doctor.


    In the past, when the doctor worked diligently to open the clinic every day, they had income, even if they were poor, they would not go hungry.


    However, previously the doctor went back for two months, so the clinic business was not so good when he came back to the clinic.


    This left them almost without money to eat!


    So, on the first day of the new year, the two of them could only use the leftover rice from last night and add water to cook it into ¡®rice porridge¡¯ to eat it with hot pickled mustard tuber.


    Zhou Duzhong felt that he was quite pitiful.


    The doctor said: ¡°This year has been very good. We sent back so many cotton clothes, which can save a lot of people from freezing to death!¡±


    Hearing what the doctor said, Zhou Duzhong also felt that he had a good year this year.


    At least he has a house to live in, he can eat hot food, as well as cotton clothes and quilts.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the money is still not enough, and it so difficult to buy food now¡­¡± The doctor sighed.


    Zhou Duzhong also sighed.


    The two were about to fall asleep against the cold when there was a knock on the door outside.


    Zhou Duzhong asked: ¡°Is a debt collector here?¡±


    The doctor replied without thinking: ¡°No. No one will come to ask for debts on the first day of the first lunar month!¡±


    After the two finished speaking, they suddenly realized that the knock on the door was rhythmic. They looked at each other and said in unison, ¡°It¡¯s Shancha!¡±


    The two people who were too cold to get out of bed just now quickly got up and went downstairs to open the door.


    The person who entered is Shancha.


    ¡°Comrade, do you have any new information?¡± The doctor looked at Lu Yanzhou eagerly.


    After Lu Yanzhou came to see the doctor for the first time, he hadn¡¯t seen this person again. He didn¡¯t expect to meet him today: ¡°There is new information.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou told all the news he got from Xie Chengze.


    The faces of the doctor and Zhou Duzhong changed drastically. If the Yan people really block them like that, their soldiers will have a hard time!


    ¡°By the way, I brought a sum of money. You should send it back as soon as possible.¡± Lu Yanzhou handed over the suitcase in his hand.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already given us a lot of money, so you don¡¯t need to give it anymore.¡± The doctor said quickly.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou had already opened the suitcase.


    The doctor and Zhou Duzhong were stunned for a moment¡ªthey had never seen so much money growing up!


    ¡°This money was given to the organization by Zhaojun,¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled, ¡°You guys accept it.¡±


    Zhou Duzhong and the doctor looked at each other, and said gratefully: ¡°Thank you! If you need any help in the future, just tell me!¡±


    ¡°We will.¡± Lu Yanzhou nodded seriously.


    Lu Yanzhou left quickly.


    There was an assassination aimed at Chongcheng Command Station just now, so the movement there was not small. Lu Yanzhou has decided not to meet Zhu Haifeng for at least a month, so as not to be targeted, so after returning to Xie Chengze¡¯s place, Lu Yanzhou accompanied Xie Chengze for the new year and didn¡¯t go out again.


    Although he didn¡¯t go out, he got a lot of outside information from the people in the Inspection Department.


    For example, among those who were captured by the Secret Service, some had already confessed, and then Bureau Chief Li led people to raid the pig slaughterhouse.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the people from Chongcheng Command Station to hide in the pig slaughterhouse!¡±


    ¡°Zhu Haifeng was a scholar before, he really doesn¡¯t care much!¡±


    ¡°As long as you can survive, who will pay attention to life and death?¡±


    ¡°I heard that the pig slaughterhouse stinks very badly. Zhu Haifeng had already run away when Bureau Chief Li went, but the pig feces were still there, and Bureau Chief Li stepped on it!¡±


    ¡­


    Because the Inspection Department didn¡¯t deal with the Secret Service, it paid special attention to the Secret Service, so now they¡¯re gossiping about what the Secret Service has done these days.


    Lu Yanzhou was listening, however, he didn¡¯t take it seriously.


    These are not secrets.


    Even if it is a secret, it is also the Secret Service¡¯s secrets.


    ¡°You listened quite seriously,¡± someone teased Lu Yanzhou, ¡°What¡¯s the use of listening to us talking about this? You should go to the dance hall to learn from them and find a way to serve our section chief well!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked at him and sneered: ¡°I don¡¯t need to learn from others to file a complaint. Do you think I should file a complaint to your section chief for harassing me?¡±


    The man¡¯s expression changed instantly, begging for mercy again and again.


    Although Lu Yanzhou looked displeased, the section chief had treated Lu Yanzhou well in the past few days.


    For the new year¡¯s eve, he even asked someone to capture the tailor who was going to close the door for a rest¡­No, welcome the tailor to come make some clothes for Lu Yanzhou.


    The people in the Inspection Department didn¡¯t dare to provoke Lu Yanzhou, so Lu Yanzhou snorted and went to find Xie Chengze.


    Although Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t have to work these days, he is still very busy. He needs to send money to his boss or those who know people who are higher than him for the new year.


    Similarly, there will be people with lower status than him, who will come to him to pay New Year¡¯s greetings and send money.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t like this kind of communication, so he was more irritable during the new year.


    However, this new year because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s existence, he slept very well, so his temper became better. He ate and drank all day, he even got a little fatter.


    It was at this time that his injury finally healed.


    In fact, his injury should have healed two days earlier, but unfortunately he ate too much with Lu Yanzhou and accidentally got diarrhea, so the injury was healed two days later.


    Seeing that the injury was healed, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t wait to let Lu Yanzhou fulfill his promise: ¡°You said before that you will do it again when the injury is healed!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou directly hugged him to the bed, and then he was squeezed dry.


    Xie Chengze is obviously very tired, but he still refuses to stop!


    Of course Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to stop.


    The last time he acted recklessly by himself, he was injured when he did it. Although it was a little fun, it was not very fun, it was far worse than when Lu Yanzhou took the initiative this time.


    Secondly¡­he doesn¡¯t know how many days he can enjoy it, so naturally he has to eat more when he can still eat!


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He needs to step up his training, the Xie Chengze in this world is really strong!


    So, Lu Yanzhou got up early in the morning to exercise.


    Seeing him exercising, Xie Chengze thought again.


    Now that he thinks about it, go!


    Xie Chengze said to Lu Yanzhou who was doing push-ups: ¡°You stop for a moment, let me lie down, and then you do it on top of me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± In that case, how could he have the heart to do push-ups!


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t even get up, why is he still like this!


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze closed their doors and lived their lives, but people were talking about them outside.


    After all, they all pity Lu Yanzhou.


    Early in the morning of new year¡¯s eve, Xie Chengze took Lu Yanzhou back. He didn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to have a good year!


    Poor Lu Yanzhou was imprisoned by a traitor like Xie Chengze, so¡­


    Several of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s classmates even came to find Lu Yanzhou for this purpose.


    Afraid that they would get into trouble, Lu Yanzhou drove them away.


    After these people left, they were extremely moved: ¡°Lu Yanzhou drove us away to protect us, right?¡±


    ¡°Definitely!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is too miserable!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity we can¡¯t help him.¡±


    ¡­


    On the other side, the people from Chongcheng Command Station, who were being chased by the Secret Service like a bereaved dog, also found some motivation from Lu Yanzhou that allowed them to persevere.


    Lu Yanzhou is in such a miserable situation, but he is still alive. They must not be discouraged, they must not be discouraged!


    No matter what, their current situation is better than Lu Yanzhou who is deeply trapped in the wolf¡¯s den.


    T/N: IDK whether to pity Zhouzhou or AZe (???)

 CH 58

    In a certain tofu workshop in the west of Chongcheng, a young couple finally closed their stall after selling tofu for the day, and then pushed a cart to buy two hundred catties of soybeans.


    The owner of the grocery store selling beans was a little strange: ¡°You guys bought a lot of soybeans recently¡­Business is good?¡±


    The husband of this young couple smiled shyly: ¡°Isn¡¯t it new year?¡±


    The owner of the grocery store nodded when he heard the words: ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s New Year after all.¡± Tofu is cheap and delicious, so it¡¯s normal for customers to buy something to add to their dishes.


    The young couple bought the beans and walked back. When they came to a place where no one was there, the husband said, ¡°In the future, we should buy soybeans in several places and also buy some other grains.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The wife agreed.


    When the two returned home, they lit a fire and cooked the bean dregs in a large iron pot for cooking soy milk. When cooking, they added some rice into it, and finally cooked several barrels of bean dregs rice.


    In addition to bean dregs rice, they also cooked a bucket of tofu soup, then went into the house, opened the cellar¡­


    There is a cellar under his house. There are more than a dozen people crowded in it.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to eat.¡± The young couple carried a few buckets down.


    The people in the cellar immediately surrounded them. Zhu Haifeng walked in the front: ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡±


    ¡°No trouble, that¡¯s the only thing I can give you to eat here.¡± They sigh.


    They are just a husband and wife, it is okay to buy a little more food, but if they buy a lot of food and come back, they will definitely be watched.


    Fortunately, they make tofu, so buying more soybeans will not attract suspicion.


    Therefore, Zhu Haifeng and the others can only rely on eating bean dregs to satisfy their hunger every day. In terms of dishes, they are either tofu or bean sprouts.


    But it¡¯s good to be alive!


    Who would have thought that the people of the Secret Service would work so hard that they would not rest during the New Year, they had been searching for them all this time!


    Those informants who have hidden identities like this young couple are okay, but it¡¯s really difficult for young adults who sneaked into Chongcheng to hide.


    ¡°I used to think that I was tired of eating too much pork¡­indeed, I¡¯m getting sick!¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help but say that. Although they used to pretend to be poor butchers, they still had money in hand, so they were actually not poor at all. They can eat stewed pork every day.


    After eating too much, they can¡¯t help getting a little tired of it, so they start to dislike pork. They started thinking about eating chicken and duck all day long.


    But now¡­how delicious the pork is!


    If they could go back in time, they would definitely eat more and bring more when they evacuated.


    Everyone scooped up the bean dregs rice with bowls and ate it with the tofu soup.


    The cellar was already dark and damp, and the excrement of so many people had to be collected and secretly thrown away at night, which made the environment here even worse¡­It was too difficult for them!


    ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged, at least we don¡¯t have to be humiliated.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s better than that young master Lu. I heard that Xie Chengze likes to torture people!¡±


    ¡°That little young master Lu hasn¡¯t been out of the house since he was captured. I don¡¯t know whether he is dead or alive.¡±


    ¡­


    After talking about this, they felt that the bean dregs rice in their hands was not so unpalatable.


    Life is too bitter, they really need some gossip to adjust.


    And just as everyone finished eating, the couple came down again: ¡°Station Master, Shancha has sent another message.


    When the previous operation failed, they sent a telegram back. They were reprimanded by headquarters on the spot.


    Fortunately, Shancha quickly sent back some information. After they sent it back, headquarters was not so angry at them and said that they would arrange some people to come and help them.


    Now Shancha has sent another piece of information¡­Zhu Haifeng went to see it immediately.


    There are two pieces of information.


    One is that the Yan¡¯s people are instigating a certain general of the DaQi, so he told them to pay more attention.


    The other is that among the few people captured during their previous operations, three of them have joined the Secret Service, and the rest died during the torture¡­he telling them be careful.


    There is no need to report the second information, but the first information must be sent back as soon as possible!


    Zhu Haifeng and the others got busy.


    At the same time, Lu Yanzhou, who was considered to be living in dire straits, was talking about getting some experimental equipment with Xie Chengze in Xie Chengze¡¯s room.


    ¡°I have studied medicine, so I want to try to see if I can make medicine.¡± Lu Yanzhou kissed Xie Chengze in his arms.


    Xie Chengze wanted to hide when Lu Yanzhou kissed him, but he didn¡¯t.


    However, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder, he was so ugly, why did Lu Yanzhou still kiss him from time to time?


    His face made him sick just from looking at it.


    But he is happy to be treated like this, he still wants to continue like this: ¡°You give me a list of what you want.¡±


    Some of the things that Lu Yanzhou wanted were blocked by Yan and the Western, they were determined not to let them flow into the hands of the Han.


    But it is not difficult for the Yan people to get what they want.


    After Yan people occupied Chongcheng, many Yan people moved here one after another. There are doctors among these people. Xie Chengze can negotiate with the other party and ask the other party to submit an application. He can wait for the things to arrive, then buy it from the other party.


    He can also discuss with the big hospitals in Chongcheng to buy some equipment from them.


    Or, he can contact Yan¡¯ s smugglers and ask them to help him bring it.


    There are many ways, and the best way is to get these experimental equipment separately.


    Xie Chengze looked at the list in his hand and asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I can get what you want for you, but how will you thank me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to say, ¡°I¡¯m all yours. I can thank you as much as you want me to.¡±


    Xie Chengze always gave him things recently, and then asked for a reward.


    And the reward Xie Chengze wants is basically related to sexual intercourse.


    Lu Yanzhou especially admired Xie Chengze ¡ª sometimes Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t stand still but still wanted to do it again.


    After much deliberation, Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze in this world might have physical problems besides his face.


    This can also explain why Xie Chengze suddenly forced him before.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with a smile, ¡°You have to behave well at night.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°AZe, even if you really want to, you should try your best to restrain yourself. After all, it¡¯s not good for your health.¡±


    Xie Chengze glanced at him: ¡°I have been restrained for many years.¡± He used to live in fear, can¡¯t he enjoy it before he dies?


    Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to say, ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s physique in this world should be very special, he might be prone to desire and dissatisfaction. According to Xie Chengze, he has suppressed it for many years, now he should not be able to suppress it anymore.


    What can he do? He can only work harder and harder.


    Speaking of which¡­After the laboratory is completed, should he find time to make some viagra?


    Well, viagra, also known as Viagra.1The characters(name) are different but in english is just viagra


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou had this thought, he suppressed it again.


    He is young and could still do it!


    But Xie Chengze really can¡¯t continue like this. If this continues, Xie Chengze will be very uncomfortable in his later years.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that he still had to stop Xie Chengze, no matter what, his body was the most important thing.


    The next day, Xie Chengze spent money to build a laboratory for Lu Yanzhou in the place where he lived.


    The entire laboratory is built with reinforced concrete, which is very strong with only a small window that could open¡­


    The people from the Inspection Department looked at the room, then looked at Lu Yanzhou with sympathy.


    It was said that the room was specially built by their section chief for Lu Yanzhou.


    This is a prison cell built for Lu Yanzhou!


    The room is so well sealed and soundproof, is the section chief planning to do something special in it?


    When Xie Chengze bought some weird things and put them in the room¡­the people in the Inspection Department felt more sympathetic to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± It¡¯s really unnecessary, he doesn¡¯t need sympathy!


    For Lu Yanzhou, being taken by Xie Chengze is definitely a great thing.


    Not only did he live a good life sleeping with his wife in his arms every day, if he wanted to do something, it also became very convenient.


    For example, he wanted to set up a factory previously, but he couldn¡¯t do it at all, but now¡­with the support of Xie Chengze, what can¡¯t he do?


    What¡¯s more, when the Lu family evacuated from Chongcheng, they left a lot of properties undisposed of. He couldn¡¯t sell those properties before, but now¡­he just showed a little sign of wanting to sell, immediately someone wanted to buy them at a high price.


    Who told him to have Xie Chengze behind him?


    Even the shelter that Lu Yanzhou made before¡­People used to use various excuses to go to the shelter to ask for money from time to time, but now no one dares to do so.


    This world is really¡­


    Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t like this kind of world, but in it, he can only work hard to change it.


    When the experimental equipment and raw materials were delivered, Lu Yanzhou said that he was busy, so he stopped obeying Xie Chengze several times a day.


    Once is just barely enough!


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze regretted helping Lu Yanzhou build this laboratory.


    Of course, he just thought that in his heart. He knew what Lu Yanzhou did was a good thing, so naturally he wouldn¡¯t stop him.


    And¡­the way Lu Yanzhou concentrates on his research is really charming.


    When he is free, Xie Chengze likes to sit by and watch Lu Yanzhou do his research.


    His vision is really good. The person he likes is not only good-looking and skilled, but also first-class smart.


    If the things Lu Yanzhou researched were known to outsiders¡­the people from West country and Yan country would probably fight to rob him.


    Not to mention anything else, let¡¯s just say that many of the various medicines used by Yan¡¯s army are bought from certain pharmaceutical companies in the West Country at a high price. They have no ability to produce them themselves, so they also don¡¯t know the ingredients.


    But those medicines were researched by Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze also knew why Lu Yanzhou endured humiliation and stayed by his side.


    Looking at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past actions, one can tell that he has the world in mind. By staying by his side, he can save more people, so Lu Yanzhou is willing to follow him.


    ¡°Someone gave me a lot of money again today¡­you can use it.¡± Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou for a moment, then smiled.


    Lu Yanzhou did not refuse: ¡°Okay!¡±


    It has been two months since he was snatched here by Xie Chengze.


    In the past two months, Xie Chengze gave him a lot of money.


    He gave half of it to Zhou Duzhong and the others, and the remaining half was used to help ordinary people in Chongcheng.


    As a result, his shelter has accommodated more people.


    Of course, now he only gives money, he will not go there.


    He didn¡¯t want to hear others say bad things about Xie Chengze, and he didn¡¯t want to act like he hated Xie Chengze in front of others.


    But Huzi and his four bodyguards were all arranged by him to help.


    ¡°Can you finish work early today?¡± Xie Chengze asked again.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze helplessly: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Xie Chengze has been very busy recently. He finished work late a few days ago, and the two of them really don¡¯t have much time to spend together¡­tonight they can have a good time.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Xie Chengze was in a great mood.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly asked: ¡°AZe, do you want to learn medicine preparation with me? Otherwise, you can also do weapon research.¡±


    ¡°Why should I learn this?¡± Xie Chengze was puzzled. He was not young, and if he went to learn at this time, he might not learn much.


    He has a lot to do and not much time.


    ¡°Just accompany me?¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Yan people will definitely be driven away, and when the Yan people are driven away, they don¡¯t need to be spies anymore, so they will naturally have to do something else.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that they could do scientific research, whether it was researching weapons or researching medicines, as long as their results came out one after another, their status would be as stable as Mount Tai, and they would be closely guarded!


    There is absolutely no problem for him to do this, so Xie Chengze¡­can also learn, right?


    To accompany Lu Yanzhou? Xie Chengze became interested. He walked to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side and listened to Lu Yanzhou explain the experimental equipment.


    ¡°How do you know so much?¡± Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Because I¡¯m a genius?¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled. He found a few things, talked about a few interesting little experiments, then asked Xie Chengze to explore it alone for a while.


    Xie Chengze had never been in contact with these before, so after playing with it, he found it quite interesting. He asked Lu Yanzhou, ¡°Do you want to make some aphrodisiacs?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­I¡¯m done, let¡¯s go to rest!¡± Xie Chengze was implying to him, right? Definitely yes!

    Three years later.


    Chongcheng¡¯s appearance has changed completely now.


    Three years later, all the western troops stationed in Chongcheng withdrew, and now, the former western colony has completely fallen into Yan country hands.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s status in Chongcheng is getting higher and higher.


    This is not because of the great power of the Inspection Department, but mainly because¡­the man who was snatched home by the head of the Inspection Department with an ugly face is actually very good at doing business.


    Three years ago, when Lu Yanzhou sold the Lu family¡¯s properties and shop in Chongcheng and ran to open a factory, everyone thought he was messing around.


    But Lu Yanzhou always does things as he pleases, so¡­this is normal?


    Thinking about it, the money that Xie Chengze desperately earned before was used by Lu Yanzhou for charity. What else can¡¯t he do?


    Lu Yanzhou was young and inexperienced, so everyone felt that his factory would not be able to continue.


    So what if there is Xie Chengze¡¯s backing? If a factory wants to make profit, it needs products!


    Then, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s factory began to produce all kinds of products that people flocked to, and Lu Yanzhou also made money day by day.


    Lu Yanzhou has always been under Xie Chengze¡¯s control, so the money Lu Yanzhou earned naturally fell into Xie Chengze¡¯s hands, and then Xie Chengze began to throw money wantonly in Chongcheng.


    Although Xie Chengze is from Yan country, because of his ugly appearance, many people from Yan country didn¡¯t like him at the beginning.


    Later, because of the Inspection Department, he got a lot of money and kept giving money to others, so he finally had his own contacts network. He was able to talk and laugh with Colonel Tian and the others more than three years ago.


    However, at that time, some high-level people, such as generals in the army, still looked down on Xie Chengze.


    Who made Xie Chengze grow up like that?


    Moreover, it was said that Xie Chengze was from Yan country, but in fact he also had half the blood of the Han, so they still didn¡¯t like Xie Chengze.


    But when the things produced by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s factory are sold all over the world, Xie Chengze earns an unknown amount of money¡­Even if Xie Chengze is ugly, everyone is willing to associate with Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze is becoming more and more popular in Chongcheng as a matter of course.


    What they didn¡¯t know was that Xie Chengze opened a smuggling channel to the rear by using money to open the way, and then all kinds of precious medicines secretly produced by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s factory were continuously transported back.


    In addition, the mysterious Zhaojun has stolen more and more information, which is also related to the fact that Xie Chengze knows more and more people.


    Relying on the information provided by Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou also received a lot of downlines.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s downlines didn¡¯t have a high status at the beginning, but as time went by¡­


    Under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arrangement, they helped each other and used money to open the way. As their status got higher and higher, they could provide Lu Yanzhou with more and more information.


    Lu Yanzhou has also been doing good deeds, helping the low-level people in Chongcheng, so this kind of behavior has allowed him to control many people from all walks of life in Chongcheng.


    Now, if Lu Yanzhou wants to investigate someone, street vendors, rickshaw drivers on the road, children selling newspapers¡­are all his eyes.


    Lu Yanzhou has already set up a big net in Chongcheng, but he hides behind the scenes, so not many people know his true identity.


    This year¡¯s winter was extremely cold, but on the streets of Chongcheng, no one died from the cold or starvation.


    As soon as Bureau Chief Li came out of Major General Tian¡¯s house, who had been promoted from colonel to Major General, he looked at Xie Chengze, who was beside him, and said, ¡°Section chief Xie, you are really indulgent to your Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has a lot to do with the low-level people in Chongcheng living so well in the present. Lu Yanzhou opened one factory after another, not only was he constantly recruiting workers, but he was also looking for places to build shelters in each factory¡­This is what made Chongcheng a pure land.


    He heard that many refugees come to Chongcheng just to enter Lu Yanzhou¡¯s factory, or to be taken in by Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t indulge him a little, he will lose his temper.¡± Xie Chengze said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s been several years, are you still afraid that he will lose his temper?¡± Bureau Chief Li asked.


    Xie Chengze sighed: ¡°If he loses his temper¡­then he won¡¯t make any money.¡±


    Hearing what Xie Chengze said, Bureau chief Li felt that they really shouldn¡¯t make Lu Yanzhou lose his temper.


    After all, Xie Chengze will also give Lu Yanzhou the money he earns, so he also has 10% of the shares in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s factory!


    Speaking of which, Lu Yanzhou has made so much money, but no one has ever reached out to him. First, Xie Chengze sent money and shares everywhere. Most of the respectable people in Chongcheng have received Xie Chengze¡¯s money.


    The second is¡­Everyone knows that Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou don¡¯t have much money.


    Although the factory is managed by Lu Yanzhou, many high-ranking officials in Yan country have their shares. They will also give it to them. That is to say, everyone knows how much the factory earns.


    Half of the money was given away by both of them, and the remaining half was probably used by Lu Yanzhou for charity.


    He¡¯s afraid Xie Chengze didn¡¯t get much!


    Although some people think that Lu Yanzhou is trying to gain fame, bureau chief Li quite understands Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was imprisoned by Xie Chengze. Having his wings broken, he could only rely on helping others to find his presence.


    As for Xie Chengze pampering Lu Yanzhou¡­Xie Chengze really likes Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou has grown more and more masculine in the past two years, he is no longer the pretty boy he was back then. Because of this, bureau chief Li once thought that Xie Chengze would replace him, but Xie Chengze seemed to like him more. Later, through observation, bureau chief Li discovered an amazing secret.


    Xie Chengze turned out to be the one below!


    No wonder he didn¡¯t even look at the actor in the opera someone gave to him, it turns out he is the one that takes it in!


    It¡¯s no wonder that he is devoted to Lu Yanzhou. With his appearance, there are probably not many people who are willing to coax him.


    What¡¯s more, Lu Yanzhou is still so capable¡­With a golden treasure like Lu Yanzhou who can make money, Xie Chengze¡¯s future is bright.


    Bureau chief Li and Xie Chengze exchanged a few words, then the two separated.


    Xie Chengze drank some wine today, so he was a little drunk. He couldn¡¯t help feeling a little dizzy. After seeing the lights in his home from a distance, he became even more dizzy.


    Today, he can use the strength of wine to have a good time with Lu Yanzhou.


    During this time Lu Yanzhou was very busy. He will go out from time to time at night, so they haven¡¯t done anything for four or five days now.


    The time they can be together is not long, so he naturally wants to make good use of this last time.


    There is a reason for Xie Chengze to feel that he and Lu Yanzhou don¡¯t have time to stay together for long.


    When the Yan people first invaded the DaQi, they came aggressively, but recently they have shown signs of decline. They can¡¯t be moved anymore.


    The people at the bottom may not be clear, but the people at the top have already seen it clearly. There are quite some people who quietly transfer their assets.


    When this war is over¡­Xie Chengze felt that it would be difficult for him to go out into the sun, let alone stay with Lu Yanzhou again.


    Although he has provided a lot of information, he has also been stained with a lot of blood. If his identity is exposed, there must be many people who want him dead. Yan Country would desperately want to kill him, and there must be many people on DaQi¡¯s side who dislike him.


    And there was Lu Yanzhou.


    There is a high probability that Lu Yanzhou is with him to defeat Yan Country because he is valuable.


    When he loses value, Lu Yanzhou will definitely separate from him even if he doesn¡¯t do anything to him because of the help he has spared no effort over the years.


    Looking from Lu Yanzhou point of view, being imprisoned next to an ugly monster for nearly four years, being courted day and night by an ugly monster, he must feel disgusted.


    If Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t kill him by then, he was already very merciful.


    Xie Chengze opened the door and went in, and saw Lu Yanzhou waiting at home.


    But their family didn¡¯t have the sumptuous dinner they used to have, and Lu Yanzhou even made a disguise.


    Lu Yanzhou going out again today? They can¡¯t be together? Xie Chengze was a little unhappy.


    Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°AZe, my identity has been exposed, I have to leave immediately.¡±


    He obviously already entered the room, the room is obviously very warm too, but Xie Chengze felt that he was many times colder than before.


    Lu Yanzhou is leaving?


    Lu Yanzhou is leaving him so soon?


    Looking at the current situation, before Lu Yanzhou leaves, they can¡¯t have an intimate relationship.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know anything about Xie Chengze¡¯s thoughts. He was very anxious at the moment: ¡°AZe, go and change your clothes. We¡¯ll ignite the explosives in the tunnel and leave immediately.¡±


    After contacting more people, of course Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu were not the only ones who recognized Lu Yanzhou.


    With the Yan¡¯s recent defeat, Lu Yanzhou began to arrange retreats, and the amount of medicines sent to the rear began to increase, so more and more people knew Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity.


    Just this afternoon, a person who knew Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity was arrested by the Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau.


    That person was a money-seeking Yan countryman that Lu Yanzhou had paid to deliver medicines to the rear a year ago. After this person was caught, he would definitely confess, so he had to leave as soon as possible.


    If Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t come back, Lu Yanzhou plans to go out to find him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go together?¡± Xie Chengze was stunned.


    ¡°Of course! Hurry up!¡± Lu Yanzhou urged while throwing a set of clothes to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was a little confused, but he changed his clothes as quickly as possible.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly said: ¡°Let¡¯s light the explosives first, and then leave here.¡±


    They have been working hard to dig tunnels for the past few years, so they can bomb not only the Secret Service, but also other places.


    Lu Yanzhou lengthened the fuse, ignited it, then took Xie Chengze away through another tunnel.


    He was already prepared to retreat.


    When Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze came out from the other end of the tunnel, they heard several loud bangs, and then flames shot into the sky.


    Lu Yanzhou glanced at the place where the explosion was heard, then pulled Xie Chengze away quickly.


    There was a lot of commotion, and many people ran out to watch the excitement, which also made it easier for them to hide.


    Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Yanzhou has already healed Xie Chengze¡¯s face with merits.


    He had already accumulated enough merits, but he still had things to do before, so he never healed Xie Chengze¡¯s face.


    It¡¯s different now! Now that they run for their lives, he must heal Xie Chengze¡¯s face!


    Therefore, the present Xie Chengze has recovered his original appearance. He is indescribably handsome.


    Along the way, everyone couldn¡¯t help looking at him. After seeing his appearance clearly with the street lamps and fire, they couldn¡¯t help but sigh that his appearance was so good.


    Lu Yanzhou brought Xie Chengze to the safe house he had prepared a long time ago. After opening the door, he said to Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, you take a rest here, I will notify others¡­¡±


    It happened quite suddenly, so there was a lot of commotion. He¡¯s afraid they won¡¯t be able to leave for the time being. They will definitely stay here for a few days.


    In addition, he had to notify the people under him to evacuate as soon as possible.


    With Xie Chengze¡¯s current appearance, others will not doubt him. He should be safe, so Lu Yanzhou is more at ease, but he said: ¡°I have prepared an identity for you. It¡¯s in the bedside cabinet upstairs. You can go and see it. Don¡¯t leave the house, I¡¯ll be right back!¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he went out to deal with various things.


    At the same time, at the door of Xie Chengze¡¯s residence.


    People from Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau have confirmed through interrogation that there is something wrong with Lu Yanzhou.


    But the Yan¡¯s officer who was captured by them didn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou was related to Zhaojun. He only knew that Lu Yanzhou had been delivering medicines to the places occupied by the Self-Defense Regiment and DaQi Army.


    Because of this, although the General Intelligence Bureau hated Lu Yanzhou, they didn¡¯t take Lu Yanzhou seriously.


    They felt that Xie Chengze was too conniving with Lu Yanzhou, so Lu Yanzhou had the courage to join the enemy.


    They found some people and came to capture Lu Yanzhou. As for Xie Chengze¡­Xie Chengze shouldn¡¯t know about this?


    As a result, as soon as they arrived at the door of Xie¡¯s house, they saw the Secret Service and three other places exploded together.


    What exactly is going on?


    They couldn¡¯t believe it all.


    The leading intelligence officer reacted quickly and realized something, then immediately asked them to search Xie Chengze¡¯s residence, and they found that something was really wrong.


    It was said that Xie Chengze built a room to imprison Lu Yanzhou, but it turned out to be a laboratory inside!


    Where Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze lived, they also found a lot of evidence that these two people had contacts with senior officials of Yan Country!


    Ignoring that, they also found a letter marked ¡®Zhaojun¡¯ from a hidden compartment.


    They have been looking for Zhaojun, but they couldn¡¯t find them no matter what, and now they saw a letter written by Zhaojun to others at the residence of Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou!


    Are these two related to Zhaojun? Or are they Zhaojun?


    The Yan¡¯s intelligence officer who brought people to capture Lu Yanzhou was tearing his eyes apart, wishing he could kill Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou on the spot.


    But Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou are no longer here!


    ¡°Continue to search! Then notify headquarters!¡± the man yelled.


    It was at this time that they found the tunnel entrance.


    The entrance to the tunnel is very small, only allowing one person to pass through at a time. At this moment, there is billowing thick smoke pouring out of the tunnel.


    This shows that the previous explosion was related to this tunnel, more precisely, it was related to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    These two bombed the Secret Service, and three other places!


    The intelligence officer clutched his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Those who came with him were all Yan people. At this moment, they were all trembling with anger.


    Xie Chengze turned out to be a traitor!


    No, he might even be¡­Zhaojun!


    What these people saw was actually prepared by Lu Yanzhou in advance and deliberately let them see.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou is informing his subordinates to evacuate those who have a good relationship with him and who may be implicated by him as soon as possible.


    He has a lot of things to do, so he runs around and keeps busy.


    Fortunately, although he has made a big career in the past few years, he is not very popular, and now that he has disguised himself, no one recognizes him.


    While Lu Yanzhou was busy, Xie Chengze stood in the middle of the room motionless.


    Lu Yanzhou just left? Is he not coming back anymore?


    Xie Chengze ran all the way here and did not hide his appearance. He believed that many people had seen his appearance clearly along the way.


    He clearly felt that many people were watching him!


    Now that Lu Yanzhou left him here¡­he¡¯s afraid that someone will come to capture him soon.


    But he has no intention of leaving.


    He lived a wonderful life in this life, which is enough.


    Among other things, he has slept with Lu Yanzhou more than a thousand times in the past four years. Some people only have this number in their lifetime, right?


    Besides, Lu Yanzhou ran away, it¡¯s good for him to buy time for Lu Yanzhou here, right?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t kill him himself, so it can be considered that he has a little affection for him. He is already very satisfied.


    Now, he will just listen to Lu Yanzhou and wait here for Lu Yanzhou, and see what he will see by then.


    Xie Chengze felt that someone should come to him soon.


    However, he waited and waited, but no one came.


    Aren¡¯t those people on the road curious when they saw him, the section chief of the Inspection Department, being dragged away by someone?


    And the General Intelligence Bureau is so slow to respond?


    Xie Chengze waited for a long time, it was not until dawn that footsteps came from outside the door.


    Why¡­just one person?


    Just when he was wondering, Xie Chengze saw the door open and Lu Yanzhou entered with a chill on his body.


    Seeing him, Lu Yanzhou showed a smile as usual, leaned up to hug him and kissed him: ¡°AZe, why didn¡¯t you go to bed? Are you waiting for me?¡±


    Xie Chengze was dumbfounded.


    They just blew up the Secret Service, shouldn¡¯t they run for their lives now?


    Didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou escape already?


    Why is he back again? Ignoring that, when he came back, why did he still kiss him at this time?!

 CH 62

    As soon as Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze, he found that Xie Chengze¡¯s body was cold. He felt a little distressed: ¡°It¡¯s such a cold day, why don¡¯t you go to bed and lie down to be warmer.¡±


    Xie Chengze frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    He was too familiar with Lu Yanzhou. Although Lu Yanzhou had made a disguise, he could still recognize him at a glance, so¡­the person in front of him was not someone else in disguise.


    They have been exposed, so his former identity can no longer be used.


    He is no longer the section chief of the Inspection Department, and he has nothing but troubles. Why does Lu Yanzhou still look at him with such loving eyes?


    Could it be that he was dreaming?


    ¡°Let¡¯s go eat something then go to sleep.¡± Lu Yanzhou stuffed a piece of pastry that he got from someone not long ago into Xie Chengze¡¯s hand, and dragged Xie Chengze upstairs.


    He arranged identities for himself and Xie Chengze that could withstand the investigation.


    This house has been around for some years, it belonged to the Wang family, a wealthy family in Chongcheng.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s current identity is the young master of the Wang family, who studied painting and doesn¡¯t like to go out, and he is the bodyguard and housekeeper responsible for taking care of the young master.


    In order to ensure that there were no mistakes, he would come here from time to time in the past year or so, and then used a disguise to chat with the neighbors, and complained that his young master didn¡¯t like to go out.


    In fact, he wanted Xie Chengze to participate in the whole arrangement, but when he discussed it with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze always brought the topic to the bed and pulled him to the bed¡­


    He couldn¡¯t bear the seduction, and always went to bed with him, so the two of them didn¡¯t have a deep discussion.


    Xie Chengze held the pastry wrapped in waxed paper in one hand, and was led by Lu Yanzhou in the other hand. He was a little confused about the current situation, and carefully observed the surrounding environment.


    This house is quite big, well-furnished inside and full of life. There are many sketches in the house. For example, next to the stairs, there is a sketch portrait about one meter high, which is a portrait of a young man in his twenties.


    That young man is very handsome, completely different from him, if he can have such a look¡­


    ¡°I draw well, right?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked with some complacency. In his previous life, in order to be able to draw good weapon design, he specially learn sketching.


    He doesn¡¯t have much talent in art, such as painting. If asked him to experience the artistic conception of a certain painting, he can¡¯t feel it. However, because of his good memory, he has no problem drawing what he likes!


    Since he had nothing to do in his old age in the previous life, he learned a little bit of traditional chinese realistic painting¡­He can draw traditional chinese painting really well. When painting cats, he even had the patience to draw fur one by one, and finally he drew a realistic cat, but he can¡¯t draw some freehand ones. According to others¡¯ evaluation, his paintings are brimming with unimaginative skills.


    However, he is already very satisfied.


    Let¡¯s just say that the sketch he drew in front of him according to the appearance of Xie Chengze in his memory is 100% like the current Xie Chengze.


    There are several such paintings in the house.


    ¡°You drew this?¡± Xie Chengze asked with a frown.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze always felt that everything in front of him was a bit fake, but at this moment, he couldn¡¯t care less about it. He broke away from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand, grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s collar and asked, ¡°Who is this person you drew?!¡±


    Who is this man? As far as he knew, models were needed for painting, and there were some so-called painters in Chongcheng who found someone who was naked to be their model¡­What is the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and this person? In the past few years, Lu Yanzhou has been running out through the tunnels, and sometimes he stays outside all night. Could it be that he with others outside?


    Lu Yanzhou still has energy? He didn¡¯t get squeezed dry by him?!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were about to burst into flames, Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s you! Didn¡¯t you take a good look in this room? There are many mirrors here, take a look at your current appearance.¡±


    Unavoidably, a new branch will grows out of a knot1side issues keep arising, he couldn¡¯t tell Xie Chengze too much, so he could only let Xie Chengze see it by himself.


    And the identity he arranged for Xie Chengze is a narcissistic painter who doesn¡¯t like to go out, so there are many self-portraits and mirrors in this home.


    There was a mirror next to the self-portrait. Xie Chengze looked over and saw that he had the same face as the person in the painting.


    So, he was dreaming, right?


    Xie Chengze let go of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s collar, and touched his face in shock.


    The person in the mirror also touched his face.


    Although it was a dream, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to wake up. He stared at the mirror non-stop. If he really looked like this, he would have the confidence to win Lu Yanzhou ¨C Lu Yanzhou can sleep with him so many times, he obviously didn¡¯t reject men.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look, go to sleep for a while. After dawn, I¡¯m afraid someone will come to investigate.¡± Lu Yanzhou urged him again.


    Xie Chengze reluctantly followed upstairs.


    There are several bedrooms upstairs and a studio filled with various paintings, most of which are self-portraits.


    Originally, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t plan to add the character of ¡®narcissism¡¯, mainly because when he was painting, he felt very excited to draw Xie Chengze and he drew a little too much, so he added it.


    Next to the studio is Xie Chengze¡¯s bedroom. Lu Yanzhou took out some documents from the bedside cabinet and showed them to Xie Chengze, so that Xie Chengze could remember his current identity.


    This Wang person is real and he is indeed a painter, but he died in other places a few years ago.


    Lu Yanzhou has his degree and others when he was studying, so there¡¯s no problem with Xie Chengze¡¯s identity and it¡¯s very clean.


    Xie Chengze looked at the things in his hands. His dream was really real. In the dream, not only his face change, but he also made up his own identity.


    Even Lu Yanzhou became his servant.


    Xie Chengze opened the waxed paper bag in a good mood, and took a bite of the pastry.


    So sweet!


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was reading the materials, Lu Yanzhou went downstairs to boil some hot water and ordered two bowls of noodles to eat.


    As soon as he came up, he saw Xie Chengze looking in the mirror again.


    He really settle well into his persona.


    ¡°Come eat something first.¡± Lu Yanzhou gave Xie Chengze a bowl of noodles.


    It¡¯s four or five o¡¯clock in the morning. Xie Chengze went to the banquet last night and ate something, but he didn¡¯t eat anything since he got the news, so he was starving to death.


    The bedroom was very big and there was a small table inside. Xie Chengze sat at the table, started eating noodles, and sighed again that this dream was too real.


    Xie Chengze was in a good mood, so he was smiling at Lu Yanzhou while eating noodles the whole time.


    Isn¡¯t this seduction? Lu Yanzhou leaned forward and kissed Xie Chengze.


    It¡¯s a pity that the time is not right, otherwise they could continue¡­Lu Yanzhou packed up the dishes and went downstairs, then asked Xie Chengze to sleep for a while.


    Sleeping in a dream, maybe he will woke up from this dream, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t sleep after eating but went to the studio.


    Although Lu Yanzhou urged Xie Chengze to go to bed, he didn¡¯t plan to go to bed. After all, after dawn, someone would definitely come to check on them.


    He made some arrangements to make the house more homely, and made his camouflage more detailed, such as applying paint that darkened his skin all over his body.


    In the past two years, due to ¡®professional¡¯ reasons, he has specially studied how to disguise. Now he has cut his previously long hair, modified the shape of his eyebrows, and made some appearance modifications, such as using some glue on his eyelids. Another example is putting something in his mouth to make his face rounder.


    In the end, he hunched his back slightly. He looked very different from his original appearance.


    When he was by Xie Chengze¡¯s side, he always make himself like a pretty boy, but now he turned himself into a rough man, unless they was a professional or someone very close to him, they would never be able to recognize him.


    As for the coverings such as hats that he used to use in the past, they can¡¯t be used now. If it was used, he will be targeted by those who come to search.


    However, Lu Yanzhou deliberately made himself a little dirty and his clothes also dirty, so that it was even more difficult for others to see through his disguise.


    After he finished all this, he felt relieved and smiled in the mirror.


    People from Yan¡¯s Intelligence Bureau should have searched out the things in his house, right?


    He wonder what those people will think after seeing his forged letter.


    If he can pull down those Yan¡¯s high-ranking officials¡­he will wake up laughing from his dreams!


    At this time, the Yan¡¯s General Intelligence Bureau.


    They have searched Xie Chengze¡¯s house carefully and found many things.


    There are many letters written by Yan¡¯s senior officials to Xie Chengze, and the information disclosed above is what Zhaojun found out!


    In addition, there are many documents signed by ¡®Zhaojun¡¯¡­


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that we have been investigating Zhaojun for so long, but he is right under our noses!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze hides too deeply!¡±


    ¡°We must catch Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°Block Chongcheng!¡±


    ¡°Bring back the nearby troops! We will go from door to door!¡±


    ¡­


    The people from the Yan¡¯s General Intelligence Bureau were already in a state of desperation, hating Xie Chengze so much.


    They have almost confirmed now that Xie Chengze is Zhaojun.


    Compared to Zhaojun Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou was nothing at all.


    Zhaojun had already started to act 7 or 8 years ago, and Lu Yanzhou was still a kid then!


    When Lu Yanzhou followed Zhaojun three or four years ago, he was only eighteen years old, so what could he do? Xie Chengze is probably behind everything that Lu Yanzhou has done in the past few years!


    They must arrest Xie Chengze and tear him into pieces!


    The General Intelligence Bureau reacted very quickly. They immediately sealed off the entire Chongcheng, and all those who tried to leave Chongcheng were put under surveillance.


    Immediately afterwards, they printed many photos of Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou, asking people to find them.


    Especially Xie Chengze, they even offered a high price reward of 50,000 silver dollars!


    The news spread through telephone, radio, etc., and the whole city of Chongcheng was boiling.


    Some people were greedy for the huge reward and wanted to catch that Xie Chengze, while others were stunned by the news: ¡°The people of Yan Country want to arrest Xie Chengze, isn¡¯t he a traitor who is valued by Yan Country?¡±


    ¡°I heard that he is a spy planted by DaQi.¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is a spy? Then why did he do so many stupid things, even forcing Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°I always thought that he forced Lu Yanzhou, but now it seems that Lu Yanzhou is only doing things for him. Most of what Lu Yanzhou did in the past few years was arranged by him.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou and him definitely not in that kind of relationship in the rumors.¡±


    ¡°Looking at it this way, Xie Chengze is a righteous man!¡±


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have scolded him before.¡±


    ¡­


    Some people who helped Lu Yanzhou were shocked when they heard the news: ¡°I always thought that Mr. Lu was with Xie Chengze to endure humiliation. Now it seems that their relationship is obviously fake!¡±


    ¡°In the past few years, they should have been acting all the time just to help more people!¡±


    ¡°I was saying why Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t look like someone who served others.¡±


    ¡°So I can survive thanks to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡­


    After receiving the news from Lu Yanzhou, Zhou Duzhong and DoctorHu quickly evacuated from the clinic and are now hiding in a teacher¡¯s house.


    This teacher is also a member of the self-defense regiment. He has a large family and a secret room where Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu can hide.


    Now, the three of them are also talking about this matter: ¡°I have always been curious about Zhaojun¡¯s identity, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be Xie Chengze.¡±


    ¡°I had doubts before, thinking that Xie Chengze might also be our people, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be the Zhaojun that Shancha talked about every day.¡±


    ¡°No wonder Shancha stayed by his side all the time.¡±


    ¡°These years have not been easy for Xie Chengze. I wonder how he is doing now.¡±


    ¡°If he is in danger, we will take him out of Chongcheng even if we fight to the death!¡±


    ¡­


    Zhu Haifeng has been hiding in the tofu workshop for three years.


    There were not many people under his command, and as his subordinates passed away one by one, he was no longer as fearless as when he first came to Chongcheng.


    In addition, the Jinyiwei headquarters later arranged for people to come to Chongcheng to act, but they all fell in Chongcheng. He and his people simply hid and lived peacefully until now.


    Now that he has mastered the craft of making tofu, he can open a tofu workshop by himself.


    Knowing that Yan people offered a reward to find Xie Chengze, Zhu Haifeng was shocked: ¡°Xie Chengze is actually Zhaojun?!¡±


    At this moment, Zhu Haifeng was breaking out in cold sweat. They went to assassinate Xie Chengze. Fortunately, Xie Chengze was fine at that time!


    It¡¯s no wonder that Shancha asked to participate in the event, he was probably afraid that something would happen to Xie Chengze.


    At this time, those who worked for Lu Yanzhou but didn¡¯t know Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity before also knew who their immediate boss was.


    It turned out that they were serving two heroes all these years!


    Thinking about it carefully, although some people have been calling Xie Chengze a traitor, Xie Chengze has not done anything evil, but killed many corrupt officials who oppressed the people.


    So what if those officials are Han? None of them are good things!


    The whole Chongcheng was like a tsunami, the waves were rough. On Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side¡­He was busy for a while, and then he was hungry again.


    A bowl of noodles is really not enough.


    He lit a fire to cook porridge and cooked up a few small dishes that ordinary people in Chongcheng now eat, such as pickled mustard, pickled fish, and fermented bean curd.


    When Lu Yanzhou put the things on the table, he heard a knock on the door.


    He hurried to open the door, and immediately after, two soldiers came in with the government officer in charge of managing this property, and two neighbors nearby.


    The secret service bureau was bombed by Lu Yanzhou yesterday, and the Yan army station in Chongcheng is mainly in charge of today¡¯s city-wide search.


    When they searched, they were very strict. Every household had to have neighbors around to testify to make sure that the family was alright.


    At this moment, the neighbor pointed to Lu Yanzhou and said, ¡°This is the Wang family, where the young master of the Wang family and his servant live. This person is the young master of the Wang family. As for the young master of the Wang family, I have never seen him before.¡±


    The government officer in charge of managing this area also took out the registration form: ¡°Young master Wang is a painter and rarely goes out. I don¡¯t remember what he looks like.¡±


    The young master of the Wang family doesn¡¯t show his face much? This must be strictly investigated!


    The soldiers searched immediately, and at this moment, Xie Chengze who heard the movement came down from upstairs: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Sir, this is my young master. He doesn¡¯t like to go out, so he stays at home all day¡­He said that all those who engage in art are like this, I don¡¯t quite understand either¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou explained to others repeatedly, then took out silver dollars to give it to them one by one.


    These soldiers were not professionals from the Secret Service, so they didn¡¯t have any doubts when they saw Lu Yanzhou. Now seeing a pale young scholar coming down the stairs, who looked exactly like the portrait on the wall, most of the doubts in their hearts were dispelled.


    They searched around with people, then left in a hurry when they didn¡¯t see any place where they could hide.


    Lu Yanzhou nodded and bowed, sending the people away, then walked back and looked at Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, you performed very well.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak the whole time, he stood beside him like a log, his eyes were still a little dazed, he really looked like a painter who didn¡¯t know how to treat others!


    Lu Yanzhou really liked him, so he leaned over and kissed him again.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou suddenly: ¡°Why did my face suddenly change?¡±


    Xie Chengze had always thought that he was dreaming, but just now someone came here with a photo of him and Lu Yanzhou to search, and he realized something was wrong.


    It¡¯s not like he¡¯s dreaming.


    So, when those people weren¡¯t paying attention, he looked at his arm.


    On his arm, the scars that accompanied him for many years are still there!


    His face change, but his body remained his.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know how to explain this, so he could only say: ¡°Ahem¡­your face can actually be cured, I just cured it for you before¡­AZe, I want you to live as Zhaojun¡¯s younger brother in the future, is that okay with you?¡±


    Xie Chengze has changed his face. If he continues to live as Xie Chengze, he will be suspect and get in danger.


    ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± After Xie Chengze finished speaking, he stared at Lu Yanzhou for a long time, then turned and went upstairs again.


    He entered his room, took off his clothes. After looking at his body, he became more and more sure of one thing ¨C this body belonged to him!


    It¡¯s just that his face has changed!


    No, it can¡¯t be said that it was changed, his eyes were exactly the same as before, so to be precise, it was actually the terrible birthmark on his face that suddenly disappeared.


    When did it disappear? It should be when Lu Yanzhou took him to flee for his life.


    As for how it disappear¡­There are actually many strange things about Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was only eighteen years old, but he knew so many things, it was a bit inconceivable.


    Hei She can only teach Lu Yanzhou to be a qualified spy, but cannot teach Lu Yanzhou to be a chemist, let alone teach Lu Yanzhou medical skill.


    Lu Tao never asked anyone to teach Lu Yanzhou these two aspects either.


    But with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s performance in the past few years¡­he is proficient in these!


    Lu Yanzhou has secrets on him. The more he gets along with Lu Yanzhou, the more he understands this.


    So sometimes when Lu Yanzhou told him something, he would change the subject and not listen, because he was afraid that he will know too much.


    He only wants short-term pleasure, not long-term, so he simply doesn¡¯t want to know those things.


    But he didn¡¯t expect that when Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity was exposed and he fled for his life, he would bring him with him, and his attitude towards him was no different from before ¡ª after coming to this house, Lu Yanzhou had already kissed him several times!


    Not only that, Lu Yanzhou also healed his face.


    This is simply a immortal method!


    Lu Yanzhou knows so many things, is it necessary to act with him all these years?


    And Lu Yanzhou should be clear about his intentions. He should know that even if he doesn¡¯t act in front of him, he still likes Lu Yanzhou and will still do his job well.


    He was willing to give everything he had to Lu Yanzhou.


    Therefore, Lu Yanzhou may not be acting, and the many love words Lu Yanzhou said to him in the past few years may be true.


    Lu Yanzhou really liked him too.


    This is a good thing, but Xie Chengze suddenly thought of one thing ¡ª what does he look like in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes?


    Leaving aside that face before, he snatched Lu Yanzhou back, and after doing that kind of thing to this person, for nearly four years, he also wanted sex at every turn.


    Sometimes even when Lu Yanzhou refused, he would tease him.


    There were even times when Lu Yanzhou fell asleep and was forced to wake up by him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s lips trembled. For a moment he felt ashamed to see Lu Yanzhou again.


    All these years¡­what has he done?!


    T/N: Nothing much, it just that old Lu thought you have a strong sex drive (¨‹?¨‹)


    One more chap and an extra then this world is done!

 CH 63

    Xie Chengze wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.


    But he also had to admit that he was in a good mood and even laughed unconsciously.


    Lu Yanzhou was sincere to him.


    And his face, without those scars, he is so beautiful?


    Xie Chengze took the small mirror by the bed and admired his face again.


    Speaking of which, this mirror was produced in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s factory. Among Lu Yanzhou¡¯s many factories, there is a glass factory.


    Thinking of Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help recalling the past.


    Lu Yanzhou was really good to him, he could kiss his ugly face before.


    At first he thought it was Lu Yanzhou who was too good at acting, but now that he thought about it, it was obviously Lu Yanzhou who loved him too much!


    It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t know it at the time, and he was thinking about squeezing Lu Yanzhou dry all day long, thinking about being comfortable every day.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face became hot unconsciously.


    Thinking about the past, Xie Chengze fell asleep unknowingly.


    So, when Lu Yanzhou opened the door and came in and wanted to call Xie Chengze to eat, he saw Xie Chengze sleeping soundly with the mirror in his arms, it was quite amusing.


    He didn¡¯t even know that Xie Chengze loved beauty so much.


    After gently closing the bedroom door, Lu Yanzhou went downstairs to have dinner, then went out to gossip with his neighbors: ¡°What¡¯s the matter today? Why are so many people searching from house to house?¡±


    Those neighbors said one after another: ¡°Did you hear the explosion last night? I heard that Xie Chengze from the Inspection Department did it. Today, those people from Yan Country and all people in Chongcheng are looking for Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°I heard that Xie Chengze blew up the Secret Service, great job! There¡¯s no good thing there!¡±


    ¡°My son works in a newspaper office. After the explosion yesterday, he was called to work overtime by the newspaper office. Today the newspaper published a photo of Xie Chengze. I heard that if he is caught, they will get a lot of money.¡±


    ¡°He is a good man. Let me tell you, even if we see him, we can¡¯t capture him.¡±


    ¡­


    After chatting about things outside, someone asked Lu Yanzhou again: ¡°We haven¡¯t seen that young master of yours before, we thought he was ugly so he didn¡¯t go out all the time. I didn¡¯t expect him to be quite handsome.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°My young master is quite handsome and he is a painter. He paints there every day without going out. He¡¯s a bit weird.¡±


    ¡°A lot of them with the new education are eccentric.¡±


    ¡°Your young master is not bad. He doesn¡¯t go out and doesn¡¯t cause trouble.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, now I¡¯m not afraid of not going out. I¡¯m afraid of going out and causing trouble and accidentally messing with people who shouldn¡¯t be messed with, let alone money, maybe my life will be gone.¡±


    ¡­


    In the end, the big guys talked about what they were most concerned about, which was food, rice, oil and salt: ¡°Now that the city is closed, our life will be sad again.¡±


    ¡°It will definitely be inconvenient to buy groceries next time.¡±


    ¡°Prices are bound to go up, too.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, my family stocked some pickles.¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was also very fortunate that when he came over a few days ago, he bought a lot of food for his family.


    Xie Chengze woke up from hunger, so he went downstairs but did not see Lu Yanzhou.


    He panicked, but soon saw a note on the table: ¡°The food is in the pot, I¡¯m going to catch up on sleep.¡±


    Xie Chengze went into the kitchen and opened the pot. He saw a pot of hot water inside with a steaming rack on it. There was a large bowl of rice, sliced bacon and a bowl of steamed pickles on the steaming rack.


    A few years ago, as the section chief of the Inspection Department, he ate a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, but now with bacon and rice, he actually thinks it is better than the shark¡¯s fin and abalone he has eaten!


    After eating, Xie Chengze scooped water from the pot and washed his face carefully. After washing, he found a box of face cream and rubbed it on himself carefully.


    Lu Yanzhou has several factories, one of which produces all kinds of face wipes and make-up products, which are said to be very useful.


    He has never used these before, but plans to start today.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze lived a good life in seclusion, but Yan¡¯s senior officials were experiencing a major earthquake.


    Lu Yanzhou has established a wide network in Chongcheng in the past few years, but he has always been very careful, he won¡¯t contact his people on the surface.


    As for Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu, every time Lu Yanzhou went to visit them, he went secretly. On the surface, they had nothing to do with each other.


    Lu Yanzhou let them hide because he was afraid that the survivors from the Secret Service would remember what happened many years ago and arrest them.


    On the contrary, he has a good relationship with some Yan people.


    Disregarding Xie Chengze, the people he usually interacts with are all the Yan¡¯s high-level officials in Chongcheng!


    After interacting with these people a lot, Xie Chengze got some letters written by them, and then Lu Yanzhou forged a lot of evidence that they sold information to Xie Chengze according to the handwriting of these people.


    The money that Xie Chengze gave them became Xie Chengze¡¯s purchase of information on the special ledger.


    Much of the information that Zhaojun sent back was something that Xie Chengze shouldn¡¯t have known, which is why the Yan¡¯s General Intelligence Bureau has never suspected Xie Chengze these years.


    Because of this, seeing these letters now, people from Yan¡¯s General Intelligence Bureau can¡¯t help but feel that those officials are very likely to have really betrayed their Great Yan.


    However¡­Among the people who have been close friends with Xie Chengze, there are even members of their General Intelligence Bureau!


    No matter what, Xie Chengze can¡¯t be caught now, so those who have a good relationship with Xie Chengze must be arrested for interrogation. And so, many Yan¡¯s high-ranking officials were arrested because of this ¡®Zhaojun Incident¡¯.


    Yan Country was in chaos for a while.


    They had already shown signs of decline, but now that something like this happened, the battle on the front line inevitably retreated, and even internationally, they became a joke.


    Because DaQi sold Yan¡¯s weapon design drawings provided by Lu Yanzhou, there are already many people paying attention to Zhaojun, the spy. Now Zhaojun¡¯s identity is exposed, not to mention the bombing of the Secret Service, many Yan¡¯s senior officials are also involved¡­


    The Yan people can be said to have lost all face.


    In DaQi, Zhaojun became a hero.


    After this incident came out, the troops all knew that Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou were the ones who had been delivering medicines to them.


    How many soldiers from DaQi and the Self-Defense Regiment survived because of the medicine they sent?


    And four years ago¡­At that time, it was Zhaojun¡¯s information that saved many soldiers from the self-defense regiment. It was also because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s help that Zhou Duzhong was able to send back so many cotton clothes.


    That winter was extremely cold. At that time, many soldiers from the self-defense regiment came all the way to defend their motherland, but they were almost frozen to death¡­They were able to survive by relying on the padded jackets sent by Zhou Duzhong.


    Four years have passed, and many of them have become generals now, but they still keep the padded jackets they got at that time.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were their saviors.


    There was a lot of commotion outside, and Chongcheng went through several searches.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were interrogated several times, but they found nothing.


    The fourth day of identity exposure.


    Lu Yanzhou got up early in the morning.


    The house had a backyard, and there was a well in the backyard. He drew water from the well to cook, and after cooking, he invited Xie Chengze, who was learning to paint, to come over for dinner.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s adoptive parents were still very rich and had servants to help with housework, so although Xie Chengze was beaten by his adoptive father and forced to learn many things by his adoptive father when he was young, he never cooked.


    Later, his adoptive father had an accident, and he took refuge in Yan Country. After entering the Inspection Department, he couldn¡¯t even cook for himself, so he didn¡¯t know anything about it.


    Therefore, Lu Yanzhou has always been the one who cooks. As for him¡­he has been studying painting recently. He wants to draw a picture of Lu Yanzhou.


    Because Chongcheng was sealed off, they ate rice and pickled products again.


    But Xie Chengze ate very happily. While eating, he couldn¡¯t help but look at the mirror next to him.


    Xie Chengze looked so cute, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but leaned over and kissed him.


    No matter what Xie Chengze looks like, he likes him, but these days Xie Chengze is white and tender, with the scent of the cream produced by his factory on his body, which is naturally more attractive than before.


    Lu Yanzhou had been very vigilant for the past two days, fearing that someone would suddenly search him, so he acted very carefully and did not want to get intimate with Xie Chengze.


    But now that a few days have passed, and with these few days of abstinence¡­Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze¡¯s hand.


    According to past experience, Xie Chengze should drag him upstairs at this time!


    They haven¡¯t done anything for several days, and Xie Chengze is also very enthusiastic.


    However, Lu Yanzhou was wrong.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t give the slightest response, he was still looking in the mirror.


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned, holding Xie Chengze¡¯s hand and staring at Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze looked back at Lu Yanzhou innocently. He was very bold before and would directly make various requests to Lu Yanzhou.


    But now¡­he was a little embarrassed.


    He couldn¡¯t bear to be like before ¡ª he needed to take good care of his body.


    Recently, he no longer uses all the majesty of an emperor1Reckless, he feels that his body is much better.


    The two looked at each other, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help looking at the mirror not far away.


    Is it because his disguise is too ugly, so Xie Chengze is not happy?


    It couldn¡¯t be? In the past, when he came home with a disguise, Xie Chengze still called anxiously?


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly remembered something. He had suspected it at the beginning, thinking that Xie Chengze in this world might not only have problems with his face, but also his body. Now it seems to be true.


    Now that Xie Chengze¡¯s health has recovered, Xie Chengze, who used to tie him home and overwhelmed him with enthusiasm, immediately became cold.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze blinked: ¡°You are still young, take care of your body.¡±


    Haha, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say that before! Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I am young and full of energy!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou complained: ¡°Did you dislike me?¡±


    Xie Chengze quickly said, ¡°I don¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°Then why are you ignoring me?¡±


    Xie Chengze was helpless: ¡°Then¡­shall we go upstairs?¡±


    Well, it¡¯s rare for Lu Yanzhou to take the initiative, it feels pretty good.


    He should be more reserved in the future, anyway, he has no face to do things like before.


    Well, after losing the birthmark on his face, his skin turned thin!


    Two months later, Yan Country surrendered.


    Recently, Lu Yanzhou, who took the initiative to pester Xie Chengze, thought it was quite interesting: ¡°¡­¡±


    He thought that Yan people could last for a while longer, but he didn¡¯t expect them to retreat so soon!


    He has been studying how to leave Chongcheng and how to go to the rear. Once Yan Country surrendered, his research was in vain!


    Alright, this should have something to do with him and Xie Chengze. They has helped DaQi and the Self-Defense Regiment a lot over the years. Let¡¯s talk about the Self-Defense Regiment, because of some information he provided, there is no shortage of medicines, and he has also developed some low-cost but easy-to-use weapons that have greatly increased their combat effectiveness, causing Yan¡¯s army to retreat steadily, and their own team is getting bigger and bigger.


    In addition, the incident after their identity was exposed not only caused chaos in Yan¡¯s upper echelons, but also made the Yan¡¯s soldiers very angry.


    DaQi publicized all kinds of things Xie Chengze did, and it fell into the ears of ordinary Yan soldiers. In summary, they were desperately fighting on the front lines, as a result, the officials behind him sold information for money. They don¡¯t take their lives seriously at all.


    They also heard that Yan¡¯s weapon designs were all sold too!


    How can the ordinary soldiers of Yan Country stand this? They are no longer willing to fight!


    The domestic situation of Yan Country is not very good, and they have offended many people internationally too. For example, Western Country has already been at odds with them, and now even loyal soldiers are starting to make trouble¡­Even if Yan people don¡¯t want to surrender, they can only surrender.


    Upon hearing the news, most of the people in Chongcheng cheered, only a few people who took refuge in the Yan felt mournful.


    When Yan¡¯s people withdrew from Chongcheng, Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to find Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu.


    As soon as Zhou Duzhong saw Lu Yanzhou, he asked, ¡°Where is Mr. Xie? We will never forget Mr. Xie¡¯s great kindness, we want to thank him in person.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°I don¡¯t know where he is.¡±


    Zhou Duzhong was taken aback.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°That day when my identity was exposed, he asked me to evacuate first, while he stayed behind. I don¡¯t know where he went after that.¡±


    There have been rumors outside that when Xie Chengze blew up the Secret Service, he himself was below and died together with the Secret Service.


    Otherwise, Yan people would not have been looking for Xie Chengze frantically for the past two months but couldn¡¯t find him.


    Zhou Duzhong originally thought that Xie Chengze was hidden by Lu Yanzhou, but if not, then Xie Chengze might have really¡­


    Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu¡¯s mood instantly became depressed.


    In this years-long battle, Zhaojun was a hero, he should be admired and commended, but he disappeared on the eve of victory.


    Zhou Duzhong didn¡¯t want to say ¡®sacrifice¡¯, so he just said ¡®disappear¡¯.


    Lu Yanzhou continued at this moment: ¡°I don¡¯t know where Xie Chengze is, but Xie Chengze entrusted his brother to me.¡±


    As he spoke, he pulled out Xie Chengze who was standing behind him.


    Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu had seen Xie Chengze a while ago, but they didn¡¯t know his identity, so they were a little curious at this moment: ¡°Xie Chengze has a younger brother too?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou explained: ¡°Xie Chengze is not the real son of the Xie family. Back then, his adoptive mother had a stillbirth. She was afraid that his adoptive father would blame her, so she adopted a baby¡­He has no blood relationship with Yan people. Because his adoptive father killed his adoptive mother, he has a sworn hatred with the Yan¡¯s, that¡¯s why he joined DaQi¡¯s Intelligence Station and became Zhaojun.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou explained Xie Chengze¡¯s life experience clearly, so that no one would make a fuss about the fact that Xie Chengze had half of Yan people¡¯s blood on him ¡ª the true identity of Xie Chengze¡¯s adoptive father is no longer a secret.


    So it was like that! Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu looked at Xie Chengze, because of all the things Zhaojun had done before, like liking the house and its crow2love everyone and everything connected with the person, they liked this ¡®Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother¡¯ very much.


    Xie Chengze quickly got familiar with them.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Doctor Hu, Zhou Duzhong, I used to be in DaQi¡¯s Intelligence Station, but now I want to join the Self-Defense Regiment, can I?¡±


    Doctor Hu and Zhou Duzhong were very pleasantly surprised: ¡°Of course! Cough cough, in fact, we have already registered your information! Your confidentiality level is very high. Except for the two of us, no more than three people know about it.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°No thanks, no thanks, you and Xie Chengze have helped us a lot!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou laughed when he heard this: ¡°Then can I meet with your high-level executives? That¡¯s right. The medicine production methods and weapon design drawings I gave you before are actually not the information we stole, but it is his and mine research result.¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou spoke, he pointed to Xie Chengze.


    When Lu Yanzhou first passed through, between the DaQi and the Self-Defense Regiment, DaQi was still stronger.


    But four years later, the current DaQi is no longer doing well. Although the Self-Defense Regiment is poor, their combat effectiveness is amazing.


    When Yan country was driven away, Lu Yanzhou believed that this country would eventually belong to the Self-Defense Regiment.


    Both Zhou Duzhong and Doctor Hu were dumbfounded.


    They asked many people to study the materials that Lu Yanzhou gave them, but they didn¡¯t study them thoroughly. Many medicines couldn¡¯t be produced.


    Now Lu Yanzhou told them that these were researched by Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother together?


    Even if Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t know anything, based on what Lu Yanzhou has done before, they will welcome him. Now that Lu Yanzhou still has such abilities¡­they are willing to sacrifice anything for Lu Yanzhou!

 CH 64

    After Yan Country surrendered, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze went to the rear of the Self-Defense Regiment in incognito and were responsible for research.


    Lu Yanzhou told people that those medicines and weapons were the research results of him and Xie Chengze, but since he was too young, he was only 18 years old when he sent this information out, everyone felt that Xie Chengze, who is ¡®Zhaojun¡¯s younger brother¡¯, is the main researcher.


    Xie Chengze has been lurking on Yan Country side for more than ten years. In the past ten years, he had to kill many people, such as other spies who were lurking on Yan Country side like him who had been found by the Inspection Department with conclusive evidence.


    In addition, he is not the only one in the Inspection Department, there are many Yan people in it. These people act ruthlessly, they are not less of an assholes than the Secret Service.


    Arresting innocent people and charging them with embezzlement of other people¡¯s property, collecting money and helping others to get revenge, arresting scholars who published opinions against Yan people in newspapers, killing businessmen who supported DaQi¡¯s army¡­There is no shortage of messy things the Inspection Department had done.


    The reason why face change when they mention Xie Chengze back then was because the Inspection Department was actually a place similar to the Secret Service. Although many things were not done by him, the head of the Inspection Department, they were done by his subordinates.


    Even if his identity is exposed now, everyone knows that he has no choice but to, there are always people who hate him.


    But now¡­the people of Yan Country have been searching for so long but have not found Xie Chengze. Everyone has agreed that Xie Chengze and the Secret Service died together.


    Under such circumstances, naturally no one will hold grudges against ¡®Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother¡¯ who is devoted to research and has no other problems except love for beauty.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s life after his identity was exposed was indescribably peaceful and steady.


    When he was young, he couldn¡¯t get rid of the control of his adoptive father, and he didn¡¯t have a good life. Later, the mountain, that is, adoptive father disappeared, but he started to work as a spy.


    But it¡¯s different now.


    Although his living conditions plummeted, he drank rough tea, ate plain food, and wore coarse clothes, but he no longer had to worry about someone coming to kill him in the middle of the night.


    He has also confirmed that Lu Yanzhou really loves him.


    Xie Chengze is very happy every day. When he is happy, he likes to take out the mirror and look at his face.


    As long as he sees this brand new face, he will feel at ease that the world has completely changed.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Zhou Duzhong, who was assigned to help Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Doesn¡¯t this guy love beauty too much? !


    Xie Chengze learned things very quickly, and Lu Yanzhou taught him the basics before, so now he¡¯s on his side showing him. They worked hard together, so the research results came out one after another.


    DaQi has become history, and a brand new country has been established. This country has developed better and better as time goes by.


    Lu Yanzhou can confidently say that he and Xie Chengze were responsible for this!


    They have developed weapons that can deter the world and make other countries dare not do anything to their country.


    They have also developed various medicines that are at the forefront of the world.


    During this period, the level of secrecy between him and Xie Chengze became higher and higher, and they were surrounded by a large group of people who would protect them all the time.


    The national leaders even said it over and over again in front of people, saying that no one can disturb their research, and they must meet whatever requirements they have, as long as they do not violate the law.


    After all, their research results are related to the future of this country.


    In difficult times, the food standard of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze even surpassed that of the leaders. The research they conducted at that time was indeed very very important.


    However, although he was well taken care of, the conditions of this era are limited, and researching weapons will also come into contact with some harmful substances. In addition, Xie Chengze really suffered a lot when he was young¡­


    The Xie Chengze of this world was already very old when he was in his sixties.


    Lu Yanzhou was ten years younger than him in this world, so he looked much younger. Xie Chengze looked at himself in the mirror, and then at Lu Yanzhou, he couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    After his face changed, he was always happy that the two of them looked matching, but now, they didn¡¯t look matching again.


    But at this time, he no longer worried about gains and losses as he did when he was young, thinking that Lu Yanzhou would leave him.


    He was convinced that no matter what he looked like, Lu Yanzhou would never leave him.


    Xie Chengze, who moved a stool and sat in the sun in the courtyard of the research institute, suddenly looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°AZhou, are you a gift from heaven?¡±


    ¡°I was sent by heaven to save you.¡± Lu Yanzhou looks very serious.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Will we still be together in the next life?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou did not hesitate: ¡°I will definitely find you in the next life.¡±


    Xie Chengze then laughed.


    Lu Yanzhou leaned over and kissed Xie Chengze.


    It was rare for Xie Chengze to take the initiative, he hugged Lu Yanzhou and kissed him back.


    Ever since his face changed, he didn¡¯t take the initiative very much. At first, he wanted to change Lu Yanzhou¡¯s opinion of him, but later¡­it¡¯s good to let Lu Yanzhou take the initiative, right?


    Lu Yanzhou is very careful and will pay attention to his physical condition. In fact, letting Lu Yanzhou take the initiative completely, he will feel very good and will never be empty.


    Gradually, it becomes natural to get used to it.


    After kissing each other, Xie Chengze was tired and fell asleep slowly.


    Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze back to his room, kissed his forehead, and lay down beside him to rest with him.


    He already accumulated enough merits in this world and Xie Chengze¡¯s soul has almost been nourished.


    They will leave soon.


    I wonder what Xie Chengze will look like in the next world.


    This winter, Xie Chengze passed away. As soon as the person in charge of taking care of the two found out about it, Lu Yanzhou passed away right after.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s health was indeed not very well, but Lu Yanzhou¡¯s health was actually pretty good, so his death was really sudden.


    But thinking about the relationship between the two, everyone thinks this is not surprising ¡ª the two supported each other during the war-torn years, and they have gone through many ups and downs together, and they have long been inseparable.


    Of course, these things are only known to the people close to the two of them, people outside are not very clear.


    Everyone only knows that two great scientists who have researched many things for this country passed away this winter.


    The whole country mourned for a while, and some people abroad who hated them so much were glad that they were finally gone.


    Two years later, Chongcheng Airport.


    A plane landed at the airport, and a man in his fifties in a suit got off the plane with his bodyguard and secretary.


    Lu Xingbang left this country when he was young. After living outside for nearly forty years, he finally set foot on this land again.


    He returned to his birth country this time to invest and build a factory in the country, and also to find an elder of his family.


    When the Lu family fled overseas, only his grandfather¡¯s favorite youngest son, his little uncle, stayed in the country.


    After going abroad, they developed well abroad, but his grandfather was always thinking about his uncle, and he was afraid that his uncle would have an accident in the country.


    When Yan Country surrendered, his grandfather even wanted to go back to the country to find him.


    At that time, the country was still in chaos, and his grandfather was not young, so they finally persuaded him to not come back.


    Fortunately, after the founding of the new country, his little uncle entrusted someone to send them a letter with a recent photo, saying that he was living a good life.


    After reading the letter, his grandfather finally felt relieved, and he had no regrets when he passed away.


    But they all knew that his grandfather still missed his uncle, so when he returned to the country this time, he naturally hoped to find his uncle.


    What Lu Xingbang brought back to the country was not only rich, but also a dedicated team. Before he came, he had already contacted the Chongcheng government, so after he came, he directly stayed in a hotel arranged by the government to discuss cooperation with the government.


    The Lu family is sincerely investing, and Chongcheng naturally welcomes such a person, so the two sides have a very good negotiation.


    After the discussion, Lu Xingbang said that he had one more thing to do when he returned to the country this time, and that was to find his relatives. In addition, he also wanted to visit his old house. He lived in the Lu family¡¯s old house for thirteen years before leaving, so he has very deep feelings for that house.


    ¡°What¡¯s your little uncle¡¯s name? Do you have any information?¡± The government official asked, a little embarrassed, ¡°Sorry, it was a chaotic time, and the household registration was not complete, so it might not be possible to find it.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t find it, I just hope that the elders will not regret it. My father and my second uncle all miss my uncle,¡± Lu Xingbang said, ¡°My uncle¡¯s name is Lu Yanzhou, the same name as scientist Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    Speaking of the scientist named Lu Yanzhou, Lu Xingbang was a little excited.


    As a Han, who doesn¡¯t regard that great scientist Lu Yanzhou as an idol?


    When they first went abroad, they were always discriminated against overseas, and were never taken seriously because of their country.


    But when Lu Yanzhou and another scientist named Wang Ze worked together to develop various weapons, gradually, no one dared to underestimate their country!


    Regardless of Lu Xingbang¡¯s age, whenever Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze achieve anything, he must call on the people around him to celebrate!


    Unfortunately, Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze passed away together two years ago.


    What¡¯s even more regrettable is that the outside world has never had photos of these two scientists because they were afraid that someone would harm them. Lu Xingbang still doesn¡¯t know what his idol looks like until now.


    His little uncle was so lucky to have the same name as such a great scientist!


    ¡°That¡¯s really a coincidence! It will be much easier to find this way.¡± The government staff took the information handed over by Lu Xingbang, and they were taken aback when they saw the photo of Lu Yanzhou on it.


    Lu Xingbang also said at this moment: ¡°By the way, our Lu family lived in Chongcheng, and there was an old house¡­I don¡¯t know if that house is still there, if it is still there, I want to buy it. ¡±


    As Lu Xingbang said, he also took out a photo he took at the entrance of the Lu family¡¯s old house when he was a child: ¡°I lived here back then. When we left Chongcheng, my grandfather left this house to my uncle. Maybe we can find my uncle through this house.¡±


    The staff took a deep breath, raised his heads and looked at Lu Xingbang with complicated eyes: ¡°Mr. Lu, this house is still there, and it was just renovated not long ago, but if you want to buy it back, I¡¯m afraid it is impossible.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Lu Xingbang was puzzled, ¡°The price is not a problem. My dad and my second uncle have always wanted to come back, so they wanted to live in this house.¡±


    ¡°It is impossible for people to live in this house¡­This is the former residence of Lu Yanzhou. We have just renovated it and changed it to Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze Memorial Hall. It will open in a few days. You will have to get a ticket to enter.¡± The government staff look at Lu Xingbang enviously and anxiously: ¡°Your uncle is Lu Yanzhou! The Lu Yanzhou who is with Wang Ze!¡±


    Lu Xingbang was stunned: ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°I said your uncle is the scientist Lu Yanzhou! By the way, the country just lifted the ban on some things during this period, and the newspaper also published a photo of Lu Yanzhou, just like the one you gave me! Mr. Lu, your uncle is a great person!¡±


    As the government official said that he asked people to find relevant newspapers.


    The newspaper was soon delivered, and the government staff handed it to Lu Xingbang, and said: ¡°When Mr. Lu was young, he set up a factory in Chongcheng to make medicines. He secretly supported our troops, sent intelligence to our troops, and after the war was won, he began to concentrate on research¡­¡±


    Lu Xingbang looked at the newspaper in his hand, trembling slightly, feeling extremely excited for a moment.


    My idol turned out to be my uncle!


    This is so exciting!


    ¡°Mr. Lu, your Lu family¡¯s old house has now been converted into a memorial hall, so it cannot be returned to you, but if you want to go, I can take you to visit it.¡±


    ¡°I want to go!¡± Lu Xingbang said without hesitation, ¡°I¡¯ll inform my family right away and tell them all to come to visit! No wonder my grandfather kept telling us that my uncle was not an ordinary person before he died, so he is so powerful! My grandfather should also know some things about him, but unfortunately he didn¡¯t tell us¡­¡±


    Lu Xingbang immediately told the Lu family about Lu Yanzhou, and not long after, the Lu family came to Chongcheng together.


    The former Lu family¡¯s old house has now become Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze Memorial Hall; they will never get it back.


    But the Lu family is not angry at all.


    There is a big shot in their family! A big shot with great character!


    They now feel that everything they do looks good!


    And when the information ban on Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze was lifted, of course, all kinds of information related to the two of them were also disclosed.


    For example, Wang Ze is Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother.


    And Lu Yanzhou was the one who was by Xie Chengze¡¯s side and helped Xie Chengze all the time.


    Speaking of Xie Chengze, everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh at that legendary figure.


    Yan Country¡¯s defeat had a lot to do with Xie Chengze. They heard that Yan Country is still following Xie Chengze until now!


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Wang Ze to be Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is really amazing! Zhaojun is known as the strongest spy.¡±


    ¡°Yan Country hated him to death and kept saying that he was deceiving¡­saying that he was obviously ugly but he still named him Zhaojun.¡±


    ¡°In my heart, Xie Chengze is the most handsome!¡±


    ¡°Recently, a movie based on Xie Chengze will be released, everyone must watch it!


    ¡­


    Everyone outside thinks like this, but there are people who specialize in studying Xie Chengze. After working hard to get a lot of Xie Chengze¡¯s information and various applications, and being able to see the relics of Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze, they discovered an amazing secret.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s handwriting is exactly the same as Wang Ze¡¯s.


    After comparing the photos of the two with high-tech, they find a striking similarity in their outline.


    And according to the few words left by some insiders, the widely publicized relationship between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou was not a disguise, and after that, Lu Yanzhou and Wang Ze were also inseparable¡­


    Xie Chengze and Wang Ze are probably the same person!


    T/N: Next is¡­.the power of love Interstellar world (???) my boi Zhouzhou will be enlightened there


    Just want to let everyone know:


    Zhao Jun ¡ª> bright/clear monarch


    Shancha ¡ª> Camellia


    Hei She ¡ª> Black Snake

 CH 65

    Another small world escaped Black Tortoise¡¯s control.


    Lu Yanzhou put Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments he had just obtained into his heart, then he went into the next world.


    Lu Yanzhou felt incomparable pain upon entering the world, it was as if something was about to burst out of his mind.


    Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath and immediately began to control his mental force.


    His mental force is too violent.


    The rampant mental force is too hard to control, then the original owner¡¯s memories also rushed into his mind at this moment.


    Lu Yanzhou passed out directly from all of this.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know how long he had been unconscious. When he finally woke up, he heard someone talking beside him.


    ¡°Sir Marshal¡¯s mental force is going out of control again.¡±


    ¡°If this keeps going, sir marshal will fall into an eternal slumber.¡±


    ¡°Is there no way to treat it?¡±


    ¡­


    These people are actually some distance away from him, their voice also far from him.


    However, because of his strong mental force, Lu Yanzhou heard everything clearly. Those voices seem like they explode in his mind, making him very uncomfortable.


    At the same time, he was dumbfounded by the original owner¡¯s memory he recieved in this world.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s identity in this world, he turns out to be the original owner¡¯s daughter-in-law!


    The original owner had an adopted son, and Xie Chengze is the fianc¨¦ of the original owner¡¯s adopted son. Their wedding date is all set.


    Lu Yanzhou almost vomited blood.


    He likes Xie Chengze, even if he can¡¯t be with Xie Chengze, he can¡¯t stand Xie Chengze becoming someone else¡¯s partner!


    Speaking of which, there¡¯s one more ridiculous thing. After his mental force riot, the original owner lost consciousness, so he didn¡¯t know what was going to happen next. He doesn¡¯t know if Xie Chengze will marry his adopted son.


    However, everything that the original owner experienced before that, he knows it all.


    This world is an interstellar world. Humans live on several planets in the Milky Way, technology here is already very advanced.


    However, their lives were not very peaceful. It was mostly because in this world, humans have a group of enemies ¡ª Zerg.


    Zerg is a terrifying cosmic race. They can survive in the universe and will also choose planets that have already bred life to reproduce.


    Any planets chosen by the Zerg as their breeding grounds will eventually die away. All the flora and fauna on it were eaten by the Zerg.


    Therefore, humans have been fighting the Zerg, trying to drive them out of the galaxy.


    But it¡¯s not easy. Humans have been retreating steadily in the previous 1000 years because five habitable planets were invaded by the Zerg, causing countless people on the planet to die.


    Humans can¡¯t beat Zerg, that is, until the original owner is born.


    The original owner was born in an ordinary family. However, since he was a child, he possessed very high mental force, an unprecedented 3S level!


    Because of this, when the original owner was 10 years old, he entered the First Military Academy of the Galaxy Alliance to study, and went to war at the age of 16.


    Time passed year after year, countless zergs died at the original owner¡¯s hands. The original owner has finally grown into a qualified warrior, becoming the hero in the eyes of everyone in the Galactic Federation.


    The original owner is in his forties this year. Half a year ago, he fought a battle with the Zerg queen. While seriously injuring the Zerg queen, he himself was also seriously injured. His mental force rioted, so he had to go back to Capital Star to recuperate.


    Or, he shouldn¡¯t say to recuperate but wait to die.


    The original owner has no way to control his mental force at all. If Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t come, the original owner will still be unconscious and will never wake up again.


    Of course, now that Lu Yanzhou is here, all this has also changed ¡ª he can¡¯t die for the time being.


    As for Xie Chengze¡­Xie Chengze is the son of the original owner¡¯s savior.


    The original owner was not very powerful from the beginning, he also encountered many dangers in his youth.


    In his twenties, the original owner, who had just become a major general, led troops to the front line and accidentally entered the Zerg ambush circle once.


    The original owner wanted to escape, but there was no escape. Fortunately, at that time a general surname Xie and his partner arrived with their troops and saved the original owner.


    It¡¯s just, the original owner survived, but this general Xie and his partner both didn¡¯t.


    The relationship between the original owner and general Xie is very good. He was very guilty seeing a friend die to save him. When he learned that general Xie had a child, he commanded people to take good care of general Xie¡¯s child. He also fought for a lot of compensation for the child, and he also gave the child money every year.


    But, he had never seen this kid named Xie Chengze.


    Zerg also have mental force, and the Zerg mental force is hard to resist too. Therefore, as the strongest force in the Galaxy Alliance, the original owner will always be where there are high-level Zerg.


    He has not returned to Capital Star for more than 20 years!


    And in his long fighting career, many people around the original owner had passed away.


    Many of those people left behind children. Since the original owner is taking care of them, he also finds a way to take care of them too. In nearly 10 years, he has adopted 4 children in succession.


    The original owner saw that these 4 children have very good qualifications, so he adopted them. On one hand, he wanted to cultivate an heir, on the other hand, he cherish talents.


    When the original owner adopted these children, they were not very young anymore, they were already on the battlefield. Under the original owner¡¯s careful guidance, they all made some military exploits repeatedly.


    The 4 children¡¯s talents are very good. 2 of them are A-level mental forces and the other 2 are S-level.


    Those two with S level, one is a boy and the other is a girl. They are the original owner¡¯s pride.


    The original owner actually liked the girl more because that girl is the same as the original owner. She intends to stay on the battlefield for the rest of her life.


    However, he valued the boy more. This is related to Xie Chengze.


    The boy¡¯s name is Chu Jingshan, no he shouldn¡¯t be called a boy, after all, he is nearly 30 years old. He has a marriage contract with Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was born without mental force. General Xie and his wife were very worried about his future. At that time, Chu Jingshan¡¯s father, who is one of general Xie¡¯s subordinates, offered to let Chu Jingshan and Xie Chengze get engaged after he was saved by general Xie. He also assured general Xie that the Chu family and his son, Chu Jingshan, will definitely take good care of Xie Chengze in the future.


    Chu Jingshan was 7 or 8 years old at that time. General Xie also like him very much, so he agreed.


    The original owner also knew about this, so after Chu Jingshan¡¯s father passed away, the original owner immediately adopted Chu Jingshan.


    The original owner received a lot of care from general Xie and his wife when he were young, not to mention that general Xie and his wife even desperately save him¡­Although he haven¡¯t been back to see Xie Chengze all these years, the original owner has always regarded Xie Chengze as very important. He naturally also hope that Xie Chengze can have a good home.


    The original owner actually thought about adopting Xie Chengze. The main reason why he didn¡¯t do so was because Xie Chengze was born with a flaw ¡ª he has absolutely no mental force.


    In the present world, mental force is used everywhere. A person without any mental force is no different from a disabled person.


    With no mental force, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t do many things. He can¡¯t even access the holographic star network.


    Xie Chengze has no way to go to the front line where the original owner was stationed at, so the two have never met.


    But in the original owner¡¯s heart, Xie Chengze is actually more important and better than his adopted sons and daughters. Therefore, among the four children, he valued Chu Jingshan the most.


    Before he had an accident, he tried his best to train Chu Jingshan. When he was met with the accident, he even handed over his connections to Chu Jingshan.


    In his will, he gave all his properties to Chu Jingshan.


    Everyone knows that Chu Jingshan is the original owner¡¯s most important child.


    The original owner wanted to see the two get married¡­but of course, before he saw it, because of his health, he passed away.


    Lu Yanzhou now¡­doesn¡¯t want these two to get married at all.


    This kind of arranged marriage shouldn¡¯t exist!


    It¡¯s Xie Chengze. It¡¯s impossible for Xie Chengze to fall in love with Chu Jingshan, who is ordinary and incompetent. Since there is no love¡­better not get married.


    Lu Yanzhou sat up in shock from his dying condition¡­um, he sat up too abruptly.


    ¡°Marshal, are you awake?¡± Among those people who were surrounding the original owner, there was a young man with a round face at the end, who shouted ¡°father¡±. His voice is so low that even Lu Yanzhou, who had a strong mental force, almost couldn¡¯t hear it.


    After the original owner returned to Capital Star to recuperate from his injuries, among his children, two stayed on the front line to continue to fight while two followed him back. The two who followed him back are Chu Jingshan and this round-faced young man. This round-faced young man is called Chen Xiaowu. He is the youngest of the original owner¡¯s children. He¡¯s a bit shy and afraid of touching people. Although he possessed A-level mental force, his combat effectiveness is a mess.


    But even so, the original owner still values him ¡ª Chen Xiaowu is very good at mechanical manufacturing. Whether it¡¯s mechas or battleship, he can repair them all.


    Because of this, Chen Xiaowu has a high rank.


    Lu Yanzhou has mental strength so he doesn¡¯t even need to turn his head to see everything around him clearly, then his head hurts even more.


    He wanted to speak, but because of the sudden pain, he couldn¡¯t open his mouth.


    Calming down, Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°What day is it?¡±


    The doctor in charge of taking care of the original owner answered: ¡°Marshal, now it is March 18, 2358 of the new calendar.¡±


    This day¡­Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°Jingshan¡­wedding?¡± He remembered the day when Xie Chengze and Chu Jingshan got married, it¡¯s today!


    When the original owner awoke a few days ago, Chu Jingshan told the original owner and even cried in front of the original owner.


    ¡°Yes. Today is major general Chu¡¯s wedding day. Marshal?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯m going.¡±


    ¡°Marshal, your body is not fit to leave the hospital.¡± The doctor advised him.


    ¡°I¡¯m going.¡± Lu Yanzhou propped his skinny hands tremblingly on the wall of the medical cabin, attempting to climb out of the medical cabin.


    ¡°Then I will inform major general Chu.¡± Said the doctor.


    Lu Yanzhou refused: ¡°No need. Don¡¯t bother him.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou still doesn¡¯t know how to face Chu Jingshan, so they don¡¯t need to meet or talk with each other.


    He just wanted to hurry to the wedding venue!


    It¡¯s just that it was difficult for him to gather his mental force with his current situation. This mental force also harms his body¡­acting is really hard.


    His body swayed, laying back down again.


    But no matter how hard it is, he¡¯s going to attend Xie Chengze¡¯s wedding.


    Speaking of which, if he faints at the wedding venue, will he be able to ruin this wedding?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t intend to be with Xie Chengze. He was just afraid that Xie Chengze would be angry when he fully recovered in the future.


    The first three worlds end like that because that¡¯s the last resort.


    But to make him watch Xie Chengze marry someone else, he can¡¯t do it.


    Lu Yanzhou is the marshal after all. He¡¯s going to his adopted son¡¯s wedding, so someone immediately prepared everything.


    Soon after, everyone pushed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s medical cabin and they hurry to the wedding venue in a mighty manner.

 CH 66

    At the same time, the Xie family.


    The Xie family is one of the big families in the Galaxy Alliance, it has been prosperous for hundreds of years. The reason why this family can continue to pass on is because there are people with S-level spiritual power in each generation.


    As a matter of fact, the Xie family regards S-level powerhouses very seriously, even the current Patriarch of the Xie family is an S-level powerhouse.


    At this moment, Patriarch Xie is receiving the guests who came to the wedding banquet with a smile on his face.


    His youngest son is about to marry the famous major general Chu!


    Chu Jingshan is only 30 years old, he has already become a major general relying on his military exploits. His future is bright. What¡¯s more, he is the heir and adopted son recognized by Marshal Lu!


    Marshal Lu is the idol of all mankind. Now that Marshal Lu had an accident, people naturally shifted their attention from Marshal Lu to Chu Jingshan.


    The marriage of the young master of the Xie family to Chu Jingshan has brought great benefits to the Xie family, so how could Patriarch Xie be unhappy?


    Not to mention, this engagement was snatched from Xie Chengze, which made him feel even more happy.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s father, General Xie who died young, was Patriarch Xie¡¯s cousin and one of the people Patriarch Xie hated the most.


    In the previous generation, the two sides had some enmity, but in Patriarch Xie and General Xie generation¡­


    When Patriarch Xie was born, he was detected to have S-level mental force, so he was held in the palm of the hand by the entire Xie family and cultivated with all their heart.


    General Xie, who was born a year late, only had A-level mental force, so he was naturally ignored.


    The young Patriarch Xie fought with General Xie because of their elder¡¯s hatred, and the Xie family would always stand on Patriarch Xie¡¯s side without hesitation.


    Patriarch Xie has always felt that he is more important than general Xie.


    Even if their grades in school were almost the same or General Xie was even better, he didn¡¯t care too much.


    His mental force is stronger than General Xie¡¯s. General Xie can beat him by redoubled his efforts, but if he wants to win, he can beat General Xie with just a little hard work.


    Patriarch Xie¡¯s self-confidence was maintained until the two went to the battlefield together.


    At that time, the Zerg race was coming fiercely, so those with high-level spiritual power had to go to the battlefield.


    In the army, General Xie, who has only A-level mental strength, dares to fight, and so he was promoted again and again, while Xie Patriarch, who has S-level mental power, has frequent problems and is always reprimanded by his superiors.


    This is actually not surprising, because Patriarch Xie has S-level mental force and is spoiled at home; he has been lazy since he was a child.


    If it was in other industries, he could still crush others with his mental force, but the battlefield was different.


    On the battlefield, the strong but cowardly may not be able to defeat the weak but brave one, let alone General Xie who has A-level mental power is not weak.


    General Xie¡¯s military rank is higher than Patriarch Xie¡¯s, which already made Patriarch Xie uncomfortable, but at that time, the woman Patriarch Xie liked also fell in love with General Xie and married General Xie.


    Patriarch Xie couldn¡¯t stand the blow, so he left the battlefield.


    In the following decades, General Xie made countless military exploits and finally became an admiral. What about Patriarch Xie? Although he took over the position of Patriarch, he had nothing to offer at all.


    When people mentioned the Xie family, they would only talk about general Xie, not the head of the family.


    Patriarch Xie held back for decades, so he had withheld so much anger. It wasn¡¯t until General Xie and his wife gave birth to a child with no mental force that he felt better.


    His eldest son has the same S-level mental force as him!


    After General Xie and his wife both died, Patriarch Xie¡¯s mood was even better!


    It¡¯s a pity that Xie Chengze still has a marriage contract with Chu Jingshan, and Chu Jingshan was later adopted by Lu Yanzhou¡­


    A few years ago, because of this marriage contract, he had to endure Xie Chengze!


    Fortunately, Chu Jingshan fell in love with his youngest son, and now it is his youngest son who is going to marry Chu Jingshan, not Xie Chengze.


    Seeing that the guests were almost here, Patriarch Xie went upstairs to find his youngest son.


    The youngest son of Patriarch Xie is called Xie Chen¡¯an. He is 20 years old this year. His appearance is delicate and his talent wasn¡¯t bad either. He has A-level mental power.


    Twenty years ago, with his strength, he would have had to go to the front line to serve, but now that the Zerg had been killed by Marshal Lu, he could stay in Capital Star.


    ¡°Xiao An, are you ready?¡± Patriarch Xie asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± Xie Chen¡¯an stood up and showed his father his clothes.


    The expensive custom-made clothes on him made him look even more beautiful.


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re ready. The wedding will start soon¡­By the way, where is Jingshan?¡±


    Xie Chen¡¯an said: ¡°He is talking to his comrades.¡±


    Patriarch Xie nodded upon hearing this, then walked out with his son.


    However, as soon as he got outside, Patriarch Xie saw a person he didn¡¯t want to see standing in the crowd, and frowned: ¡°Why is Xie Chengze here?¡±


    Xie Chen¡¯an looked at Xie Chengze, the corners of his mouth curled up: ¡°Dad, I asked him to come. He always used Chu Jingshan to pressure me. Now I want him to watch me and Chu Jingshan get married!¡±


    He is Patriarch Xie¡¯s son and possesses excellent talent, so he naturally looks down on Xie Chengze. Although Xie Chengze is not as good as him in other things, he has an excellent marriage contract.


    He provoked Xie Chengze before, but Xie Chengze used this marriage contract to suppress him every time.


    However, he didn¡¯t make Xie Chengze feel better either! Under his plan, Chu Jingshan saw the scene where Xie Chengze threatened him with his marriage contract. While he felt pity for him, he also hated Xie Chengze.


    He finally won the marriage contract.


    Xie Chengze must be feeling very uncomfortable now. He will let Xie Chengze watch him marry Chu Jingshan!


    Just like Patriarch Xie hates General Xie, Xie Chen¡¯an also hates Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze has no parents, no mental force, such a person should be a poor idiot, but Xie Chengze is not.


    Xie Chengze was good-looking, very smart, quick to learn everything, and even a little ruthless¡­He remembered that he often bullied Xie Chengze when he was a child. There was once where he probably went too far, Xie Chengze suddenly bit his neck.


    If he hadn¡¯t been stimulated to launch his mental force to attack, Xie Chengze might have bitten off a piece of his flesh!


    That time, Xie Chengze actually suffered the most. Although he was still young and the mental attack he launched was not strong, Xie Chengze almost lost his life, it took a long time to save him.


    But because of this, he was reprimanded by his father. After that, he didn¡¯t know what happened, he always felt that Xie Chengze was scary, so he didn¡¯t dare to provoke Xie Chengze, at least he didn¡¯t dare to do it again.


    Xie Chen¡¯an thought so and looked at Xie Chengze with some complacency.


    He wanted Xie Chengze to see his current scene, but unfortunately Xie Chengze never looked up.


    Xie Chen¡¯an felt strangely aggrieved like punching cotton, so he could only go to Chu Jingshan indignantly.


    Chu Jingshan is twenty-nine this year, and his career is developing very smoothly. Today is his wedding day, so he seems more energetic.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, unhappy?¡± Chu Jingshan asked Xie Chen¡¯an.


    Xie Chen¡¯an showed a little uneasiness: ¡°I saw Xie Chengze just now¡­He was supposed to marry you, but now he¡¯s here to attend the wedding, I don¡¯t know what he wants to do.¡±


    Hearing Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s words, Chu Jingshan¡¯s face showed disgust, so he immediately said: ¡°He is just a waste, don¡¯t worry, he can¡¯t do anything.¡±


    ¡°Mm, I¡¯m just a little scared¡­¡± Xie Chen¡¯an touched his neck. On his neck, there was a scar covered by cosmetics, which was bitten by Xie Chengze.


    Chu Jingshan also knew about this, and immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I will protect you.¡±


    The two agreed to go out together.


    Marshal Lu was seriously injured after the battle with the Zerg queen. He was about to die and Chu Jingshan was his child.


    For Marshal Lu¡¯s sake, there were a lot of guests attending the wedding banquet. Everyone was wishing Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an well.


    Xie Chengze stood in the corner, glanced at the bustle in the distance, then looked away. His eyes fell on the wall of the hall.


    The walls of this hall are made of huge display screens. At this moment, the beautiful video that Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an took before their marriage is playing on it.


    The two people in the videos look like a heavenly couple.


    ¡°What? Regret it?¡± A voice sounded behind Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze turned around: ¡°Perhaps?¡±


    The one who talked to Xie Chengze was a sloppy-looking young man.


    Xie Chengze seldom goes out, so he and Xie Chengze should not know each other, but when he looked at Xie Chengze, his eyes were full of familiarity: ¡°You asked me to inquire about Marshal Lu, I have already inquired, his condition is very bad, he may die at any time.¡±


    Xie Chengze frowned slightly, but did not speak.


    The man continued: ¡°Marshal Lu will definitely not come to the wedding.¡±


    Xie Chengze still didn¡¯t speak.


    The man asked, ¡°By the way, how is your body?¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at the person in front of him and said, ¡°I¡¯m about to die.¡±


    When Xie Chengze was just born, he was diagnosed with no mental force.


    Such people are extremely rare and basically fools.


    But Xie Chengze is not a fool.


    The fact that he has such problems is actually because he is sick ¡ª his genes are faulty and are slowly breaking down.


    He only discovered this matter two years ago. At that time, he vomited blood inexplicably, so he secretly asked someone to check him, and only then did he know that he was sick.


    Right now, all the organs in his body are failing. Judging from the current situation, he can live for another year at most.


    There is no cure for this disease.


    Although he was imprisoned by Xie¡¯s family since he was a child, he actually had many ideas before, such as making a career and destroying the Xie family.


    The young man in front of him was the one he had tried to get acquainted with in order to accomplish his goal.


    But he is going to die!


    Realizing this, Xie Chengze¡¯s ambitions completely disappeared. He only wishes to see Marshal Lu Yanzhou.


    Half a year ago, Chu Jingshan accompanied Marshal Lu back to Capital Star to recuperate from his illness, so he came to visit him again¡­At that time, he wanted to get along with Chu Jingshan, so he could meet Marshal Lu through Chu Jingshan.


    But when Chu Jingshan saw him for the first time, there was contempt in his eyes. When he asked to see Marshal Lu, he refused.


    He could tell that Chu Jingshan didn¡¯t want to fulfill the marriage contract and didn¡¯t even want to have anything to do with him.


    He also didn¡¯t want to marry Chu Jingshan, so he simply pushed the boat along and let Chu Jingshan see that he was bullying Xie Chen¡¯an, so he can push out the engagement.


    Previously, he thought that when Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an got married, Marshal Lu might attend, but judging by the current situation¡­he¡¯s afraid he was thinking too much.


    But he didn¡¯t mind either.


    He had liked Marshal Lu since he was a child, so he just wanted to see him. It didn¡¯t matter if he couldn¡¯t see him.


    The wedding ceremony has begun.


    Chu Jingshan¡¯s parents are ordinary people and his family is not rich. He lives in his adoptive father, Marshal Lu, house in the capital city.


    The house was not big, and now that Marshal Lu is not in good condition, it is even more difficult for him to get married in Marshal Lu¡¯s house, so the wedding was held at Xie¡¯s house.


    As for why the wedding was still held as usual¡­His adoptive father kept urging him to get married.


    ¡°Mr. Xie, are you willing to marry Mr. Chu?¡± The emcee smiled and asked Xie Chen¡¯an, ¡°Whether poor or rich¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t agree!¡± A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.


    Accompanied by this sound, the door of the hall was opened by an attendant, then several doctors in white coats pushed a medical cabin in.


    The voice came from the medical cabin. At this moment, the attendants and the doctors were all in a daze, apparently not knowing why the people in the medical cabin said that.


    Chu Jingshan was also dumbfounded, it was his father¡¯s voice, and the doctors in front of him were his father¡¯s doctors.


    He was very happy that his father came to the wedding, but why did his father say that?


    As Chu Jingshan thought about it, he saw a man sitting up from the medical cabin, looking at him.


    Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t seen the scene of the wedding before, but his mental force was too strong, so this powerful mental force transmitted all the voices at the wedding venue to his ears.


    He naturally heard what the emcee said.


    There was a ¡®buzzing¡¯ sound in his ears, his head was about to split, so Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sanity collapsed.


    He felt that marriage should not be so hasty.


    Xie Chengze has never met his parents!


    Wait¡­The person standing beside Chu Jingshan is not Xie Chengze?!


    This is embarrassing!

 CH 67

    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s physical condition is very bad. After he transmigrated, he felt extremely painful.


    The original owner couldn¡¯t bear the pain and fell into a permanent sleep.


    He could bear it, but while enduring the pain and learning that Xie Chengze was going to get married, he was in a bad mood, so he couldn¡¯t help shouting ¡®I disagree¡¯.


    Now that the shout is out, it turns out that the person who is going to marry Chu Jingshan is not Xie Chengze, so¡­it doesn¡¯t look like a good ending.


    Everyone at the wedding was looking at him, waiting for him to give an explanation¡­Lu Yanzhou pressed his head with his hands.


    His head is too painful.


    In addition to the pain, Lu Yanzhou suddenly realized one more thing¡ªwhy wasn¡¯t Xie Chengze the one who married Chu Jingshan?


    Xie Chengze is clearly engaged to Chu Jingshan, isn¡¯t he?


    Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath and asked Chu Jingshan, ¡°Where¡¯s Xie Chengze? Isn¡¯t your marriage partner Xie Chengze?¡±


    Chu Jingshan barely reacted when he heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words, then immediately said: ¡°Father, Xie Chengze and I are not suitable, so I changed the marriage partner.¡±


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at the person next to Chu Jingshan.


    Chu Jingshan said: ¡°Father, his name is Xie Chen¡¯an, he is Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother. I originally planned to take him to see you after we got married.¡±


    ¡°What about Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked again.


    Although his head hurts, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t miss Xie Chengze¡¯s situation.


    Xie Chengze was only two years old when General Xie and his wife passed away. Xie Chengze had no younger brother at all.


    ¡°Chen¡¯an is Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin¡­¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked again.


    ¡°Father, you are not in good condition, I don¡¯t want to disturb you¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou sneered in his heart.


    Chu Jingshan once discussed the marriage date with the original owner, but he never mentioned the replacement.


    Lu Yanzhou could roughly guess how this scene came to be, it¡¯s most likely Chu Jingshan felt that Xie Chengze¡¯s qualifications were too poor, so he was unwilling to marry Xie Chengze. Since he didn¡¯t want others to say that he didn¡¯t keep his promise, he simply fooled him and changed the person.


    Xie Chengze and Chu Jingshan got engaged 20 years ago. At that time, the two children were still young, so there was no engagement banquet and no publicity. They also said that the children could separate if they didn¡¯t want to in the future¡­By now, not many people know about it.


    It is just that the original owner has always remembered, so he told Chu Jingshan to fulfill the marriage contract.


    But if Chu Jingshan really didn¡¯t like Xie Chengze, the original owner wouldn¡¯t force him too¡­Chu Jingshan met Xie Chengze half a year ago, why didn¡¯t he tell the original owner?


    This person is really irresponsible.


    After Lu Yanzhou read the original owner¡¯s memory, he didn¡¯t like Chu Jingshan very much.


    Chu Jingshan actually has a lot of minor problems.


    He is very talented, but he was pampered since he was a child, so he is a little cowardly and a little selfish. He never does his best on the battlefield, and as long as he can be lazy, he will be lazy.


    He¡¯s a face saving person, the kind who refuses to admit that he has done something wrong.


    If not, the original owner wouldn¡¯t value others.


    It is just that Chu Jingshan and Xie Chengze are engaged, so the original owner took more care of Chu Jingshan. If the original owner hadn¡¯t supported him all the way, Chu Jingshan would not have become a major general at a young age.


    Now¡­Lu Yanzhou actually wished that Chu Jingshan would marry someone else, but he couldn¡¯t accept Xie Chengze being wronged.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Xie Chengze?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked again.


    ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s voice sounded. Lu Yanzhou turned his head and saw a young man squeezed out from the crowd, who else could he be if he wasn¡¯t Xie Chengze?


    When Lu Yanzhou saw him, his expression softened. He felt that his head didn¡¯t hurt so much: ¡°Can you tell me what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s expressions changed drastically.


    They didn¡¯t expect that Lu Yanzhou would appear suddenly, let alone that Lu Yanzhou would object to their marriage and even call Xie Chengze to question.


    If Xie Chengze talks nonsense¡­


    At this moment, Xie Chen¡¯an really regretted it. He shouldn¡¯t have called Xie Chengze here just to let Xie Chengze watch him marry Chu Jingshan.


    ¡°Father¡­¡± Chu Jingshan called out, and was glared at by Lu Yanzhou.


    Chu Jingshan didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore. Xie Chengze glanced at Chu Jingshan, and then said to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Major General Chu doesn¡¯t like me, so he changed his marriage partner to my cousin.¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked again.


    ¡°I think this is also very good.¡± Xie Chengze replied.


    Xie Chengze really didn¡¯t like Chu Jingshan. Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°That¡¯s how it is¡­you can come back with me.¡±


    Xie Chengze froze, but Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and fell back onto the medical cabin.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s medical cabin is specially made, so there are various instruments on it to monitor Lu Yanzhou¡¯s physical condition.


    Those doctors allow Lu Yanzhou to attend the banquet because Lu Yanzhou¡¯s physical condition is not too bad.


    But with the action just now, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s condition inevitably got worse, and he fell into a deep sleep.


    ¡°Marshal?¡± Those doctors rushed forward to check.


    Xie Chengze stood aside, staring blankly at the man in the medical cabin.


    He has had a really bad time in Xie¡¯s house all these years.


    Xie¡¯s family didn¡¯t let him go out, and made him take online classes at school. Since he had no mental force, he couldn¡¯t go onto the Holographic Star Network. He could only use other devices to read materials, so he never received orthodox education at all.


    In addition, some Xie¡¯s children headed by Xie Chen¡¯an have been causing trouble for him.


    The insults are considered light, but relying on their mental force, oppressing him with their mental force is the most uncomfortable thing for him.


    He was powerless to resist.


    If his grandma hadn¡¯t been alive at that time, Xie¡¯s family and some old friends of his parents would not have helped him, he might not have survived.


    Later, when his grandmother passed away, the Xie family directly took over the property left by his parents, there was nothing he could do.


    As for his engagement with Chu Jingshan¡­it was indeed his reliance, but the Xie family didn¡¯t take it too seriously at that time, and didn¡¯t treat him well because of it.


    After all, for so many years, Chu Jingshan never sent a letter back, and never contacted him. He obviously didn¡¯t want this engagement.


    It was another person who gave him some help, and that was Lu Yanzhou. It is said that his parents died to save the Marshal. Because of this, the Marshal gave him money every month.


    If it weren¡¯t for the money, he might not be able to acquire the knowledge he wanted to learn and would not be able to meet people outside.


    This is also the reason why he wanted to see Lu Yanzhou, he wanted to thank him.


    He thought he had no such opportunity, but he never thought that they would still meet, and what was even more unexpected for him was that his heart actually beat for Lu Yanzhou.


    He has seen a lot of photos and videos of Lu Yanzhou. Although he likes him, it¡¯s the same as liking an elder. He once felt that he treated Lu Yanzhou like his father.


    But now¡­


    Lu Yanzhou, who was lying in the medical cabin, looked very weak. He was wearing a hospital gown, his arms and legs were very thin, as if he could die at any moment.


    He fell in love with such a person with just one glance.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s condition required him to go back for treatment immediately, so the doctors hurriedly took Lu Yanzhou away.


    Xie Chengze followed without hesitation.


    Xie Chen¡¯an looked at Chu Jingshan anxiously: ¡°Jingshan¡­¡±


    Chu Jingshan took Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s hand: ¡°My father had an accident, let¡¯s go and see.¡±


    After something like this happened, Lu Yanzhou even fainted at his wedding¡­It was impossible for Chu Jingshan to continue holding the wedding, so he took Xie Chen¡¯an and followed.


    Seeing Chu Jingshan leave, the guests looked at each other in blank dismay, then they finally left one after another. The lively Xie family soon disappeared.


    Patriarch Xie became furious when he saw this. He immediately contacted Xie Chengze to call Xie Chengze back, but Xie Chengze never answered his call.


    Of course Xie Chengze would not answer, he is still a little confused now.


    He didn¡¯t expect that he would fall in love with someone, and the one he fell in love with was Marshal Lu.


    But it doesn¡¯t seem so strange? After all, Marshal Lu is a hero.


    It¡¯s just that both of them will die soon¡­


    In fact, Xie Chengze had always had a plan.


    He has collected evidence of the Xie family¡¯s abuse of him over the years; he plans to make it public when he dies.


    He can¡¯t live long enough to avenge himself while alive, but he can get his debt back after death.


    For this reason, he looked forward to his own death.


    But now, he doesn¡¯t want to die.


    At the same time, Lu Yanzhou started to dream. He got some memories of the original owner.


    Or it should not be considered the original owner¡¯s memory but some information the original owner¡¯s dissipated mental power caught after he fell into an eternal sleep.


    That was Xie Chengze¡¯s ending.


    Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an got married. They were a heavenly couple who were envied by others. After they just got married, Xie Chen¡¯an took Chu Jingshan to show off in front of Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze vomited blood after being stimulated, but the two felt that Xie Chengze was pretending and launched a mental attack on Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t stand the attack and died directly, then they tried to cover that up. Fortunately, someone in Xie¡¯s family who had received the favor of General Xie found out about it and made a big fuss.


    It was only at this time that people realized that Xie Chengze had been tortured by the Xie family. When he was only in his teens, he was attacked by Xie Chen¡¯an once.


    Not to mention that Xie Chen¡¯an even robbed his engagement and killed him¡­


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mental force became chaotic again. He knew that Xie Chengze in this world would definitely end badly, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be so miserable.


    He didn¡¯t expect that the Xie family would treat Xie Chengze like this for so many years.


    Xie¡¯s family doesn¡¯t care about Xie Chengze at all. Xie Chengze has no mental force, and being dependent on others is so hard¡­


    Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes.


    He must protect Xie Chengze!


    He just thought that when Lu Yanzhou heard Chu Jingshan say to Xie Chengze not far away: ¡°Xie Chengze, I don¡¯t like you, I won¡¯t be with you, when my father wakes up, I hope you can tell him clearly .¡±


    When Chu Jingshan said this, his attitude was superior, but when Xie Chengze opened his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°What are you doing!¡± Chu Jingshan was a little angry. He didn¡¯t do anything, he just said a few words, why did Xie Chengze vomit blood?


    Is this a fake?


    Chu Jingshan just thought like that when he felt a powerful mental force rushing towards him and threw him out, followed by his father¡¯s voice: ¡°Get lost!¡±

 CH 68

    Xie Chengze vomited blood, of course he wasn¡¯t pretending, he was just sick.


    Today he attended the wedding, then became worried about Lu Yanzhou at the end. He was very tired, so he vomited blood without paying attention.


    But Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect that just because he vomited blood, Lu Yanzhou directly fanned Chu Jingshan away with his mental force.


    Seeing Chu Jingshan spit out a mouthful of blood just from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mental force, Xie Chengze somehow felt he¡¯s¡­a bit cool.


    It¡¯s just that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mental force was a little violent, which affected him a little bit too, so he opened his mouth and spit out another mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Xie Chengze¡­cough cough¡­Take a look at him quickly and drive Chu Jingshan out.¡± Lu Yanzhou spoke with difficulty, then passed out again.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s doctor looked left and right, then couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    Marshal Lu¡¯s condition was already bad, and now another one with poor health came.


    Thinking of this, the doctor walked towards Xie Chengze: ¡°Young Master Xie, I¡¯ll take you for an examination right away.¡±


    Xie Chengze ignored Chu Jingshan who was lying on the ground, and followed the doctor away.


    Chu Jingshan, who felt a dull pain in his chest and a terrible headache: ¡°¡­¡± That guy Xie Chengze plotted against him! In the current situation, it is obvious that his injury should be more serious!


    ¡°Brother¡­Father told you to go out¡­¡± The round-faced Chen Xiaowu came to Chu Jingshan, who had just got up. His voice was so soft that it could barely be heard.


    Today, Chen Xiaowu followed Lu Yanzhou the whole time. When Lu Yanzhou went to the wedding scene, he was behind the medical cabin. When Chu Jingshan was talking to Xie Chengze just now, he was hiding in the corner.


    However, he has always been very invisible, so no one noticed him.


    Chu Jingshan only noticed him now, then he glared at him bitterly, tidied himself up, then turned and left.


    As soon as he left the ward, he saw Xie Chen¡¯an waiting at the door. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity is extraordinary, no one who has been authorized by him can see him.


    Chu Jingshan and Chen Xiaowu were of course authorized. Xie Chengze was brought back by Lu Yanzhou, but Xie Chen¡¯an was different. He didn¡¯t have authorization and couldn¡¯t get in.


    ¡°Jingshan, is uncle Lu okay?¡± Xie Chen¡¯an asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s fine.¡± Chu Jingshan¡¯s expression was not very good.


    ¡°Jingshan, did something happen?¡± Xie Chen¡¯an noticed that Chu Jingshan¡¯s state was not right at this moment.


    Chu Jingshan said: ¡°I was talking to your cousin, but he pretended to be weak and my father misunderstood me!¡± He was also attacked by his father because of this¡­But Chu Jingshan didn¡¯t say anything about it, he felt that his father probably couldn¡¯t control his mental force, so he hurt him. Didn¡¯t Xie Chengze also vomit blood at that time too?


    Xie Chen¡¯an immediately felt wronged for him: ¡°How could he do this! Jingshan, will Uncle Lu force you to marry him?¡±


    Chu Jingshan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t marry him.¡±


    Hearing what Chu Jingshan said, Xie Chen¡¯an immediately leaned over, and there was a lot of love between the two.


    Chu Jingshan felt that Xie Chengze was pretending to be sick, but those doctors didn¡¯t think so.


    Who can spit out a mouthful of blood by pretending to be sick?


    Those with a bit of experience will know at a glance that it is real blood!


    Xie Chengze was immediately pushed into the examination room. When the doctor examined him, his expression became serious.


    Marshal Lu¡¯s condition is very bad, and Xie Chengze¡¯s condition is no better than Marshal Lu¡¯s at all.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s entire body was slowly collapsing.


    ¡°Young Master Xie, do you know your physical condition?¡± the doctor asked.


    ¡°I know a little, but I don¡¯t know much.¡± Xie Chengze said. The Xie family has been using his poor health as an excuse to control his freedom, not letting him go out alone.


    In fact, the Xie family never cared about his body. Others have a physical examination every six months, and usually go to the doctor for minor problems, but he has never been there.


    Two years ago, after he discovered that something was wrong with his body, he secretly went to a doctor to find out about his physical condition.


    Afterwards, although he took some drugs to control his collapsing gene, it had little effect.


    ¡°You are suffering from genetic collapse, there is a problem with your genes¡­¡± The doctor explained his physical condition to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze listened silently.


    The doctor explained in detail, but the central idea has not changed ¡ª his disease cannot be cured, it can only be controlled.


    ¡°If you control it well, you can live another year or two.¡± Said the doctor.


    Xie Chengze knew the result a long time ago, so he nodded.


    Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s calmness, the doctor couldn¡¯t help but feel sympathy for him.


    He checked the medical system before, but there were no medical records of Xie Chengze in recent years.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s body is like this, why did no one treat him?


    What¡¯s more, when Xie Chengze was ten years old, he had a record of nearly dying from a mental attack¡ªsomeone actually attacked a person who had no mental power! This is clearly murder!


    He really wondered how the Xie family treated him before!


    ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the genetic collapse disease, but I know a few related experts, I can ask Marshal Lu to contact them for you¡­¡±


    ¡°Thank you, but no need,¡± Xie Chengze looked at the doctor, ¡°I want to ask you for one more thing, I hope you won¡¯t tell Marshal Lu about my physical condition.¡±


    The doctor disagreed.


    Xie Chengze had a gentle expression: ¡°The marshal is not in good health, I don¡¯t want him to worry.¡±


    At the wedding before, he could actually complain and make Marshal Lu deal with the Xie family.


    But seeing Marshal Lu¡¯s skinny appearance, he couldn¡¯t bear to do it.


    This person¡¯s body is about to fail, how can he make him worry about himself?


    Hearing what Xie Chengze said, the doctor finally agreed.


    After all, maybe something will happen to the marshal earlier than Xie Chengze.


    It is really a miracle that the marshal has been awake for so long today.


    Thinking of this, the doctor asked Xie Chengze curiously: ¡°Young Master Xie, do you know the Marshal?¡± As far as he knew, the Marshal hadn¡¯t been back for more than 20 years before returning to Capital Star for treatment, and Xie Chengze had never left Capital Star, they shouldn¡¯t know each other.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Yes, my parents had a very good relationship with him when they were still alive. The Marshal has been transferring money to me all these years.¡±


    The transfer should be scheduled, a sum will be transferred to him on the second day of the army¡¯s salary every month.


    ¡°I see.¡± The doctor understood Xie Chengze¡¯s situation.


    Humans fought against the Zerg, and many people died, and the marshal was also a nostalgic person. After the death of his comrades, he would always find a way to take care of his comrades¡¯ families, especially children.


    This is how his four adopted children came from. In addition, the marshal also gave money to many children.


    Xie Chengze is probably one of them.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze asked a few more questions about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s condition is not a secret, the doctor did not hide it, and told Xie Chengze directly.


    After listening carefully, Xie Chengze asked, ¡°Can I stay by his side and take care of him?¡±


    The doctor said: ¡°Of course, since the marshal has brought you back, you can stay here.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    On the other side, Lu Yanzhou woke up again.


    After he transmigrated into this world, he passed out a lot.


    There is no way about it, the original owner¡¯s mental force is too messed up.


    Besides, after he came, he was in a hurry to go to the wedding scene, so he hasn¡¯t tried to control his mental force until now.


    While Lu Yanzhou was trying to control his mental force, he couldn¡¯t help regretting that he had done too little to Chu Jingshan and Xie¡¯s family at the previous wedding scene.


    At that time, he didn¡¯t know what happened to Xie Chengze. He thought that even if Xie Chengze lost his parents, he still had relatives, so his life wouldn¡¯t be too bad.


    As for Chu Jingshan, he is the heir carefully raised by the original owner. He doesn¡¯t like Chu Jingshan, but the original owner has feelings for Chu Jingshan.


    Under such circumstances, even if Chu Jingshan is unwilling to marry Xie Chengze and chooses Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin, he has no reason to make trouble on his wedding day.


    After all, Xie Chengze himself said ¡®this is also very good¡¯.


    The results? Xie Chengze was actually wronged at Xie¡¯s house, his marriage contract was snatched away, and he even died under Chu Jingshan¡¯s mental attack!


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou almost lost control of his mental force.


    After trying to pull back his fluttering mental force, Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes: ¡°Where¡¯s Xie Chengze?¡±


    ¡°Marshal Lu, I¡¯m here.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s voice sounded.


    Immediately afterwards, the doctor¡¯s voice also sounded: ¡°Marshal, Young Master Xie has no mental force and is easily injured by you, so he can¡¯t get too close to you.¡±


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou also remembered the incident where he used his mental force to attack Chu Jingshan and accidentally implicated Xie Chengze: ¡°He vomited blood before, is he okay?¡±


    The doctor said: ¡°Marshal, don¡¯t worry, Young Master Xie is fine.¡±


    The medical conditions in this world are very good. Since Xie Chengze is fine, there should be no problem.


    But the matter of Xie Chengze¡¯s lack of mental force needs to be resolved quickly, lest a random person launch a mental attack and kill Xie Chengze.


    It¡¯s just that to solve this problem, he needs merit.


    Thinking of merit, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression changed.


    This world is different from the three worlds he traveled through before, it¡¯s not like he can just get merit by donating money.


    Entering the interstellar era, after the development of science and technology, the food problem will be solved as a matter of course.


    What about education? Now there is the Holographic Star Network, there are free holographic courses on it, anyone can attend the courses, and there are so many choices!


    Not only courses can be chosen, but also classmates can be chosen. If one doesn¡¯t want classmates, one can also take classes alone.


    Of course, the medical industry is also developing very well. Most diseases can be treated for free, as for those they won¡¯t treat for free¡­The welfare in this world is very good, they can get a reduction or exemption just by applying.


    Today, people spend money in the medical industry, basically to prolong their own life.


    If there is no accident, the current human beings can live up to two hundred years, and if they are willing to spend money, they can live longer.


    Under such circumstances, it¡¯s very difficult for him to obtain merit through donations, and¡­the original owner does not have much money.


    Not just not much, simply not at all!


    Over the years, the original owner transferred one-third of his salary to Xie Chengze, and the remaining two-thirds were also distributed to other children separately.


    As for himself¡­The Galactic Alliance has taken care of all his basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. Whatever he wants, just ask someone to give it to him.


    For example, the original owner¡¯s house in Capital Star was given by the government.


    Why did the original owner make a will and leave all his inheritance to Chu Jingshan instead of Xie Chengze? It¡¯s because his inheritance is all things that Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t need at all, such as mecha battleships.


    Therefore, although Lu Yanzhou has become a hero of all mankind in this world, he is very poor and cannot even obtain merit for the time being.


    Lu Yanzhou thought about it, and felt that the best way to gain merit should be to kill zergs.


    Most of the Zerg have no wisdom, there is no grass growing wherever they pass, so it¡¯s definitely meritorious to kill such a creature, but with his current situation, he cannot go to the battlefield and others will not let him go.


    Wait, maybe he can teach others how to kill Zerg?


    But this will have to wait for his health to improve.


    Lu Yanzhou thought a lot, but in fact it only passed for a short while. He swallowed and said: ¡°Xie Chengze¡¯s parents are my saviors. From now on, all my authority here will be open to him. My will will also change, the heir will be him¡­¡±


    ¡°Marshal Lu?!¡± Xie Chengze called out, he didn¡¯t really want to hear words like ¡®will¡¯.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Xie Chengze, have Chu Jingshan and Xie¡¯s family ever wronged you? Go find my adjutant, he will help you solve it.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t suffered any grievances.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Of course the Xie family treated him badly, but he didn¡¯t want to trouble Lu Yanzhou.


    As for Chu Jingshan, Chu Jingshan was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s adopted son after all, for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sake, he didn¡¯t intend to argue with Chu Jingshan.


    Although Chu Jingshan was stupid, to be honest, he didn¡¯t ham him at all ¡ª he didn¡¯t want that engagement in the first place.


    Lying in the medical cabin, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t see Xie Chengze¡¯s expression, but felt suffocated.


    Xie Chengze has been wronged so much since childhood that he doesn¡¯t know how to resist!


    Wait! Lu Yanzhou suddenly remembered something.


    Before Chu Jingshan said something to Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze vomited blood after hearing it¡­Could he have feelings for Chu Jingshan?


    Although he thought it was unlikely, Lu Yanzhou was still a little jealous, and felt that Xie Chengze was too naive¡­¡±It¡¯s good that you¡¯re not wronged¡­Cough, go eat something and have a good rest.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou wanted Xie Chengze to leave him, and Xie Chengze also didn¡¯t insist on staying and left with the nurse.


    Lu Yanzhou waited for him to leave, then immediately called his adjutant: ¡°Go and investigate Xie Chengze¡¯s experience over the years, and tell me immediately if you find anything.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Marshal!¡± the adjutant said immediately.


    After the adjutant left, Lu Yanzhou closed his eyes and began to study the original owner¡¯s mental force.


    The battle between the original owner and the Zerg queen was a double competition of mental force and strength.


    Although the original owner was strong, he was no match for the Zerg queen of the Zerg race. He had to fight to the death to injure the opponent severely, but his mental force had completely collapsed.


    If his mental force overflows, he dies.


    But now, he is in the chaotic period before his mental force overflows, so Lu Yanzhou wants to try to control it.

 CH 69

    Lu Yanzhou worked on his mental force for a whole night, it wasn¡¯t until the next day that he felt that his condition was slightly better.


    He opened his eyes and immediately asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Xie Chengze?¡±


    ¡°Young Master Xie is resting upstairs.¡± Said a doctor.


    There are four doctors taking turns to take care of Lu Yanzhou around him.


    They all knew about Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition, so although Xie Chengze wanted to stay here, they persuaded him to rest.


    ¡°Please take good care of him.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    The place where he lives now is not his house in Capital Star, but a nursing home attached to a hospital near Capital Star.


    Here, he lived in a small three-story building with the entire medical team alone.


    ¡°Marshal, you don¡¯t need to do this, we will definitely take good care of him.¡± The doctor said hastily.


    Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou closed his eyes again.


    His medical cabin shows his physical condition, now that his mental force is more stable than before¡­The doctor was somewhat surprised.


    However, Marshal is still on the verge of collapse.


    Lu Yanzhou also feels that his current situation is not very good, the key is¡­he found that the original owner¡¯s mental force cannot be controlled.


    In fact, if he was the original owner, his mind would have been killed by his own mental force by now. He is still alive now only because he is not the original owner.


    Although he sealed most of the force, there is still some left. The power manifested in this world is mental force.


    This is also the reason why he can barely control the original owner¡¯s mental force.


    However, suppressing the original owner¡¯s mental force with his mental force all the time is not a solution.


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou decided to completely abandon the original owner¡¯s mental force and let it slowly overflow.


    When this mental force is completely dissipated, he will only have his own mental force left. His combat power may become weaker, but there will be no more physical problems.


    Thinking this way, Lu Yanzhou began to try to expel the original owner¡¯s mental force.


    It was very painful, so when he expelled part of it, he couldn¡¯t help but faint again.


    The doctor outside also exclaimed: ¡°Marshal!¡±


    The alarm sound from the medical cabin attracted many people, so they all surrounded Lu Yanzhou, all anxious: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°The marshal¡¯s mental force has been exhausted.¡± The doctor was a little sad, his eyes turned red instantly with tears in his eyes.


    Mental force overflow means that he is about to die!


    Xie Chengze came downstairs when he heard the movement, his expression also changed.


    Mental force overflow, it turns out to be mental force overflow.


    Marshal Lu¡¯s mental force has begun to overflow, he may never wake up again.


    ¡°Marshal was still talking to me just now, asking me to take good care of Xie Chengze.¡± The doctor in charge was a little sad.


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, he resisted it so that he didn¡¯t vomit blood.


    If he had known this earlier, he would not have left, but would have stayed here to accompany Lu Yanzhou.


    Like that, they will see each other for the last time.


    ¡°Father¡­¡± A low cry sounded. Xie Chengze realized that there was a young man with a round face beside him at some point.


    He knew this man, he was one of Marshal Lu¡¯s adopted sons, who specialized in machine repair.


    Everyone was very sad, Chu Jingshan came at this time. He also took Xie Chen¡¯an with him when he entered.


    ¡°Father!¡± Knowing that his father¡¯s mental force began to overflow, Chu Jingshan was also very uncomfortable, his voice cracked.


    His adoptive father has always been kind to him.


    ¡°Uncle Lu!¡± Xie Chen¡¯an also covered his eyes, looking sad, but besides being ¡®sad¡¯, he looked at Xie Chengze with a little satisfaction.


    After Xie Chengze was brought here by Marshal Lu yesterday, he was always worried, fearing that Marshal Lu would stand up for Xie Chengze.


    His father went to bed yesterday but didn¡¯t sleep all night!


    Unexpectedly, only one day later, Marshal Lu had an accident.


    After Marshal Lu passed away, everyone had to listen to Chu Jingshan. Even if Xie Chengze wanted to cause trouble, he couldn¡¯t do anything.


    Xie Chengze stared blankly at Lu Yanzhou, unable to tell what he was feeling.


    He was already prepared to die, and he also knew that the person he just fell in love with would die before him.


    However, when something like this happened, he still found it difficult to even breathe.


    It wasn¡¯t until he heard Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s voice that Xie Chengze suddenly raised his head and looked in Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s direction, only to see Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s proud face.


    Xie Chen¡¯an seemed quite happy? Because Lu Yanzhou was going to die?


    Without even thinking about it, Xie Chengze said, ¡°Isn¡¯t he not authorized to come in? Why is he here?¡±


    Xie Chengze was pointing at Xie Chen¡¯an.


    Everyone was stunned, but Chu Jingshan said: ¡°Xie Chengze, what do you mean? Chen¡¯an is my partner, can¡¯t he come to see my father for the last time? But you, you have nothing to do with my father, why are you even here?!¡±


    Before Xie Chengze could speak, a doctor said, ¡°Young master Chu, the marshal has given all his authority to young master Xie.¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze, how did you deceive my father? You actually asked my father to give you all his authority? But I¡¯m not father, I will not be deceived by your hypocritical appearance! You¡¯d better get out of here immediately, or I won¡¯t be polite to you!¡± Chu Jingshan said.


    ¡°Who are you going to not be polite to?¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. He didn¡¯t expect that Xie Chengze would be bullied again after he just fainted for a moment!


    Lu Yanzhou sat up directly from the medical cabin short of breath.


    Seeing his action, everyone around him took a step back, only Xie Chengze did not retreat. Lu Yanzhou met Xie Chengze¡¯s gaze because of this.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were full of sadness¡­Lu Yanzhou subconsciously grabbed the heartbeat detection device close to his hand and threw it towards Chu Jingshan: ¡°You bastard!¡±


    The medical cabin alarm sounded again because it was damaged, everyone around looked at Lu Yanzhou in a daze.


    This is¡­a fraudulent corpse1A corpse that suddenly moves?


    It seemed to be the same yesterday. They all thought that Marshal Lu was going to die, but Marshal Lu suddenly sat up and wanted to go to the wedding¡­


    ¡°Father, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re okay, father!¡± Chu Jingshan was a little excited.


    But Lu Yanzhou yelled: ¡°Get lost! Otherwise, I will be angered to death by you sooner or later!¡±


    Chu Jingshan refused to leave: ¡°Father, listen to my explanation, this Xie Chengze is really not a good guy. He used to bully Chen¡¯an because of his engagement to me¡­Don¡¯t be fooled by him!¡±


    What his father valued most was him, and now his father suddenly changed his attitude towards him, Chu Jingshan felt that it was all because of Xie Chengze¡¯s framing.


    However, he didn¡¯t care much.


    He just needs to expose Xie Chengze¡¯s true face to his father!


    ¡°Uncle Lu¡­¡± Xie Chen¡¯an also looked at Lu Yanzhou pitifully.


    Lu Yanzhou rested for a night, so his mentality was better with a part of his mental force dissipated. At this moment, his condition is much better than yesterday, so he sneered: ¡°Xie Chengze bullied Xie Chen¡¯an? A person who has no mental force and has to depend on others can bully the partraich son who has A-level mental force?¡±


    Chu Jingshan said: ¡°Father, Chen¡¯an has a pure personality¡­¡±


    ¡°If you really think that way, you are stupid. If you know the truth and still say that, then you are toxic,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Get lost!¡±


    ¡°Father!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to see them, don¡¯t let them appear in front of me in the future!¡± Lu Yanzhou said to others.


    Everyone did not refute.


    Marshal Lu¡¯s mental force has begun to overflow, he shouldn¡¯t live long. He was able to wake up this moment should because of the final radiance of the setting sun2A short period of energy surge right before someone died


    Even if he wanted to see Chu Jingshan again in the future, he might not have the chance.

 CH 70

    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that the people around him thought that that was his final radiance before the sunset.


    He is in a good condition now, so after driving Chu Jingshan away, he called Xie Chengze to his side: ¡°Don¡¯t take what Chu Jingshan said to heart, I believe in you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were full of trust, Xie Chengze was shocked when he saw him like this.


    Marshal Lu is already like this, but he is still comforting him¡­


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were red, and so were the people around him, but everyone held back and didn¡¯t cry.


    Marshal Lu is about to die, they don¡¯t want Marshal Lu to feel uncomfortable because they kept crying before he died.


    Of course, there was someone who couldn¡¯t help crying, and that was Chen Xiaowu. He squatted down and hid behind the people, crying and trembling, but he didn¡¯t make a sound, so no one paid attention to him at the moment.


    ¡°You can live here with peace of mind in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou said again.


    Xie Chengze nodded.


    Xie Chengze in this world looked pitiful, making Lu Yanzhou want to give him all the good things.


    But he has nothing to give right now.


    As for the things left by Xie Chengze¡¯s parents, he has asked people to check them. He believes that the results will be out in a few days.


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou suddenly thought of one thing ¡ª he has a house in Capital Star.


    Although his house was not as big as the Xie family¡¯s manor, it had a better location and was worth a lot.


    Lu Yanzhou said before that he would change his will and change the heir to Xie Chengze because he didn¡¯t want Chu Jingshan¡¯s name to appear in his will.


    But he knew very well that he would not die.


    That being the case¡­


    Lu Yanzhou looked at the people around him: ¡°Bring the lawyer, I want to transfer my house in Capital Star to Xie Chengze.¡±


    Real estate transfer is not difficult, they just need someone to witness.


    Since the marshal made such a request before he died, everyone would naturally try their best to satisfy it, so the lawyer came soon, and with the lawyer as the witness, Lu Yanzhou transferred the property to Xie Chengze.


    After the transfer was completed, Lu Yanzhou froze suddenly when he looked at the special light screen.


    Who is this person reflected on the screen?


    Who is this skinny man?


    Who is this thinning hair man?!


    After Lu Yanzhou signed, he skillfully turned on the mirror function. After seeing himself in the mirror, he was hit even harder.


    The original owner has been living on nutritional supplements for the past six months, so now he is very very thin. That was okay, but because of the unbearable severe headache, the original owner would often scratch his head and grab his hair off.


    The average lifespan of human beings in this world is two hundred years, and powerful people live longer, so although he knew that the original owner was over forty years old, he didn¡¯t care too much.


    He has only gone through one-fifth of his life!


    However, he didn¡¯t know that the original owner looked like this now.


    Xie Chengze saw him like this, would he dislike him?


    Lu Yanzhou originally wanted Xie Chengze to stay by his side, but now he doesn¡¯t really want him to stay anymore.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a break.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, lying back in the medical cabin. He also realized another thing.


    There is a lot of equipment in the medical cabin, most of which are connected to him.


    Even his excretion has a special tube connected.


    In outsiders¡¯ eyes now, he might be no different from a dying old man.


    In Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes, he should be a dying elder.


    His top priority now is to take good care of his body.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou lying back, everyone felt even more uncomfortable.


    It¡¯s really just the final radiance before the sunset¡­Will Marshal Lu still wake up after?


    ¡°Young Master Xie, go and have a rest.¡± The doctor looked at Xie Chengze.


    ¡°No, I want to stay here.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    The doctor disagreed, Xie Chengze could only say: ¡°My parents passed away when I was very young, no one has cared about me for so many years besides Marshal Lu¡­¡±


    The doctor was a little moved when he heard this. This child probably thinks of Marshal Lu as his father, but now Marshal Lu probably won¡¯t wake up anymore. When Marshal Lu¡¯s mental force is all gone, he will even die.


    Xie Chengze wants to stay here, so let him stay a little longer.


    The doctor said: ¡°Then I¡¯ll push a hospital bed over, so you can lie down.¡±


    Xie Chengze agreed.


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t faint, so Lu Yanzhou who heard Xie Chengze¡¯s words: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Chengze meant that he regarded him as an elder?


    Lu Yanzhou, who was stuffed with a light refreshment, worked on his mental force again.


    At this time, Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an had already left the hospital.


    Although the previous wedding was held at Xie¡¯s house, Chu Jingshan did not live in Xie¡¯s house, he lived in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house.


    This was not arranged by Lu Yanzhou, but he was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s adopted son, so he lived in it as a matter of course. After Xie Chen¡¯an fell in love with him, he also moved in.


    Now that they came out of the hospital, the two returned to the house.


    When they got to the door, they couldn¡¯t even open the door!


    Xie Chen¡¯an was at a loss: ¡°Jingshan, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chu Jingshan said: ¡°I don¡¯t know, I¡¯ll ask someone.¡±


    Chu Jingshan immediately called the community¡¯s management personnel and asked them to open the door for him, but they politely refused him, saying that the house had changed owners, and the new owner had sealed the house.


    The house was transferred to Xie Chengze¡¯s name, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t intend to live in it, so he sealed it up.


    ¡°The owner changed, changed to who?¡± Chu Jingshan asked, dissatisfied.


    Although his father had four adopted sons, he always knew that his father liked him the most and valued him the most.


    His father had also said before that this house would be used as his marriage house.


    Great, so the owner changed? Changed to who?


    The first person Chu Jingshan thought of was Chen Xiaowu. Although Chen Xiaowu is not promising, his father takes good care of his youngest adopted son, and because he made his father angry before, Chen Xiaowu not only did not help to persuade his father but also drove him away¡­


    Chen Xiaowu must have said bad things about him in front of his father, which made his father give the house to Chen Xiaowu!


    The person on the other end of the phone said: ¡°Major General Chu, we cannot disclose the owner¡¯s personal information.¡±


    Chu Jingshan, Lu Yanzhou adopted son, was in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s household registration book, it is naturally alright for him to live in, and they won¡¯t offend a major general.


    However, the current homeowner has nothing to do with Chu Jingshan, and they cannot disclose the homeowner¡¯s information at will.


    Chu Jingshan¡¯s face turned dark.


    ¡°Jingshan, what¡¯s going on?¡± Xie Chen¡¯an asked.


    Chu Jingshan could only tell the whole story.


    After hearing this, Xie Chenan also found it difficult to accept, this house was very valuable after all. He had long regarded this house as his own, but now it suddenly disappeared¡­How can this be possible!


    ¡°Jingshan, your father originally planned to leave his battleship and mecha to you, but now¡­¡± Xie Chen¡¯an thought of something else.


    Although Lu Yanzhou has no money, the warships and mechas in his hands are things that money cannot buy!


    The most important thing is that everyone now regards Chu Jingshan as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heir. If Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t leave these things to Chu Jingshan after his death, who knows what others will think?


    Chu Jingshan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back right away.¡±


    Chu Jingshan planned to go back and ask his father why he did this, but because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s order, no one let him in at all.


    The two could only return to Xie¡¯s house indignantly.


    Chu Jingshan was in a bad mood, so he went to rest directly.


    Marriage should be a happy thing, but since he got married, everything went wrong.


    Xie Chengze is very hypocritical and greedy1The word here means something like someone with a material gain heart, the closest word I could find closest to this is greedy, his father actually reprimanded him for such a person!


    Chu Jingshan was a little dissatisfied with his adoptive father, but he hated Xie Chengze even more.


    This Xie Chengze has no mental force but he has no self-awareness at all! Back then, Xie Chengze¡¯s parents relied on their high military ranks to force them into this engagement. Later, both Xie Chengze¡¯s parents passed away but Xie Chengze did not take the initiative to terminate the engagement!


    It¡¯s just, his adoptive father was so kind that he wanted him to fulfill this engagement.


    Chu Jingshan still remembers the first time he met Xie Chengze. Although Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance surprised him, the two only talked a few words before Xie Chengze wanted to see his father¡­This is because he couldn¡¯t wait to marry him right?


    He will not agree!


    Compared to Xie Chengze, Xie Chen¡¯an is his dream partner.


    It¡¯s a pity that his father was deceived by Xie Chengze, he even had an opinion on him because of Xie Chengze!


    Chu Jingshan was aggrieved, but on the other hand, Xie¡¯s family was worried.


    The fact that Marshal Lu appeared at the wedding scene of Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an to ask for Xie Chengze first has spread.


    Chu Jingshan¡¯s original engagement partner was Xie Chengze, but he wanted to marry Xie Chen¡¯an. No one cared about it at first.


    After all, Xie Chengze¡¯s father had passed away for a long time, and few people knew about it.


    Those people, thinking of Marshal Lu¡¯s current situation, will also give Chu Jingshan some face. Besides, they also felt that Xie Chengze and Chu Jingshan were not a good match.


    That being the case, it¡¯s okay to change the person quietly.


    But when Marshal Lu made such a fuss, the wedding also stopped¡­Inevitably, some people outside would make sarcastic remarks, saying that Chu Jingshan and Xie Chen¡¯an were not good people.


    Xie Chen¡¯an has always been very high-profile. In the past few months, he has been active on StarNet under the name of Chu Jingshan¡¯s fianc¨¦, and his wedding with Chu Jingshan has attracted much attention.


    Now that the wedding has stopped in the middle¡­A lot of rumors must have spread on StarNet, and there are also people who dislike him on StarNet too.


    No, it¡¯s not just about dislike. A young lady from another family who has a bad relationship with Xie Chen¡¯an directly said on the StarNet that Xie Chenan robbed his cousin¡¯s engagement partner, so the wedding scene was dismantled before they got married.


    Chu Jingshan has a lot of fans, so there are naturally many people who follow the wedding of Xie Chen¡¯an and Chu Jingshan. Now that they know about this, Starnet suddenly exploded: ¡°There¡¯s still this too?¡±


    ¡°It should be true.¡±


    ¡°I really can¡¯t see it, I didn¡¯t expect Xie Chen¡¯an to do such a thing!¡±


    ¡°How can you not see it? I always thought he was very fake!¡±


    ¡­


    There were a lot of discussions on StarNet, and of course some people mentioned Chu Jingshan and felt that Chu Jingshan also had problems.


    But¡­isn¡¯t the wedding canceled? Chu Jingshan must have been deceived.


    Those who broke the news about Xie Chen¡¯an snatching the marriage partner on StarNet wisely did not mention Lu Yanzhou and Chu Jingshan. As for the Xie family, they were scolded very badly.


    Patriarch Xie said: ¡°This time, someone is behind the scenes and fueling the flames. It must be our Xie family¡¯s competitors.¡±


    ¡°What should we do now?¡± Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s elder brother asked.


    Patriarch Xie said: ¡°We must find a way to clarify¡­but Marshal Lu¡­¡±


    Patriarch Xie wanted to clarify this matter a long time ago, but he didn¡¯t dare to do it because he was afraid of offending Marshal Lu.


    Xie Chen¡¯an said: ¡°Dad, Marshal Lu¡¯s mental force has already begun to overflow!¡±


    Mental force overflow? That is to say, Marshal Lu will not live long!


    It¡¯s not just that he won¡¯t live long, people who start to lose their mental force will fall into a deep sleep, then after their mental force is exhausted, they will die!


    Patriarch Xie immediately asked about the specific situation. After Xie Chen¡¯an finished speaking, he finally felt relieved: ¡°Marshal Lu probably won¡¯t wake up anymore¡­Without Marshal Lu, there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of that Xie Chengze!¡±


    The Xie family quickly issued a statement, saying that there was no such thing as snatching the marriage.


    Chu Jingshan and Xie Chengze did have an engagement, but Chu Jingshan didn¡¯t like Xie Chengze, so he had already called off the engagement, and then got together with Xie Chen¡¯an.


    The reason why the wedding was canceled halfway through was because Marshal Lu¡¯s condition was not very good.


    Netizens on Startnet accepted this statement. Although Chu Jingshan had an engagement with Xie Chengze, they could still divorce even if they got married.


    Not to mention that this engagement was made by the two parties when they were young!


    ¡°I see.¡±


    ¡°Marshal Lu, are you okay!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m worried about Marshal Lu now.¡±


    ¡­


    Seeing this, Xie Chen¡¯an posted a public message on his starnet account: ¡°Jingshan and I went to see Marshal Lu. His condition is not very good. Please pray for Marshal.¡±


    For a while, everyone¡¯s focus was on Marshal Lu!


    But this is obviously not what Xie Chen¡¯an wants.


    When it was out that Xie Chen¡¯an snatched the marriage before, many people scolded Xie Chen¡¯an on StarNet, some people even found information about Xie Chengze¡¯s parents and Xie Chengze¡¯s situation, they even sympathized with Xie Chengze.


    Of course, this was not what Xie Chen¡¯an wanted to see.


    He immediately found someone to disclose some information on StarNet.


    For example, Xie Chengze has no mental force, so his parents forced Chu Jingshan¡¯s parents to make him get engaged with Xie Chengze.


    Another example is Xie Chengze¡¯s engagement with Chu Jingshan these years, he has always been defiant and domineering in Xie¡¯s family. On Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s neck, there is a scar left after being bitten by Xie Chengze.


    The most ruthless point is that some people said that Xie Chengze went to Marshal Lu because he was dissatisfied with Chu Jingshan calling off the engagement, and said bad things about Chu Jingshan in front of Marshal Lu, which made Marshal Lu appear at the wedding scene, so Chu Jingshan and Xie Chenan marriage was also call off.


    Marshal Lu¡¯s condition is getting worse now because he left the nursing home and went to the wedding scene.


    All kinds of black material related to Xie Chengze suddenly appeared on the Starnet. Xie Chengze, who has no mental strength and can¡¯t even get on the Starnet, was hacked by the whole net at once.


    And what people couldn¡¯t bear the most was that Xie Chengze actually disturbed the seriously ill marshal because of a little emotional matter!


    This is too much!

 CH 71

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Xie Chengze too much?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about how the engagement came to be. The engagement happened when he was a child, it¡¯s normal to want to break up when he grows up. Why shouldn¡¯t he agree?¡±


    ¡°He has no mental force at all, isn¡¯t that just disabled? He is not worthy of Major General Chu at all!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really unlucky for Major General Chu to be entangled with him!¡±


    ¡°The worst thing is that he disturbed Marshal Lu! Marshal Lu¡¯s condition is already very bad, but he went and disturbed Marshal Lu!¡±


    ¡°I hope Marshal Lu is okay!¡±


    ¡­


    There are a lot of people scolding Xie Chengze on the StarNet, but Xie Chengze can¡¯t go to StarNet and he doesn¡¯t have a StarNet account, so everyone can only scold Xie Chengze on their own page, however, Xie Chengze wasn¡¯t trouble in any way.


    Of course, the Xie family saw all this.


    They are very satisfied.


    They didn¡¯t treat Xie Chengze very well, but no matter what, they raised him up. Even if Xie Chengze finds someone to explain it later, or even presents some evidence, others may not believe it.


    If Marshal Lu dies at this time, Xie Chengze will become the target of public criticism. He believes that all human beings will hate and dislike him.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t even need to think about turning over in his life!


    People in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s nursing home didn¡¯t go online very much, so they didn¡¯t know about it, but Lu Yanzhou¡¯s adjutant was investigating Xie Chengze, so he naturally saw what was going on online.


    As soon as he saw those, he knew they were all fake.


    Among other things, Xie Chengze had never contacted the marshal before the wedding!


    The marshal was so ill that he answered all the communications.


    The Marshal must have struggled to get up because he suddenly remembered the wedding, so he went to the wedding site to see it.


    In addition, according to his investigation, Xie Chengze has been really miserable these years. He doesn¡¯t even have a record of school attendance, medical records¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s medical records when he was little really made people distress, and when he grew up, he didn¡¯t even have any medical records!


    And the assets left by General Xie back then are all in the hands of the Xie family now!


    Time is too short, so the adjutant only finds some superficial thing. He had intended to continue to investigate in depth, but now so much unfavorable news suddenly appeared on StarNet¡­¡­he did not have time to continue to investigate. He finally rushed to the nursing home to find Lu Yanzhou to report.


    However, when he came to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side, the adjutant didn¡¯t know before that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mental force had actually overflowed.


    The marshal¡¯s mental force has overflowed, will he still wake up?


    ¡°Adjutant Mo, where have you been?¡± The doctor brought Adjutant Mo to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hospital bed. When he saw Lu Yanzhou lying on the bed, his eyes were a little red.


    ¡°The Marshal asked me to investigate Young Master Xie¡¯s matter at Xie¡¯s house.¡± Adjutant Mo glanced at Xie Chengze who was lying on the hospital bed next to him, ¡°The Marshal felt that Young Master Xie was wronged at Xie¡¯s house.¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback.


    He didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to order such a thing when his life was about to come to an end.


    Adjutant Mo shouldn¡¯t have said in public what the marshal asked him to do in private, but now the marshal may not be able to wake up, and Xie Chengze¡¯s problems are a bit tricky¡­


    ¡°Marshal has been very worried about Young Master Xie and asked us to take good care of him¡­¡± The doctor was a little worried when he thought of Xie Chengze¡¯s body.


    Adjutant Mo was even more worried: ¡°But now Young Master Xie is in trouble, and the Marshal is like this¡­If something happens to the Marshal, Young Master Xie may not be able to fight it off.¡±


    Having said that, Adjutant Mo looked at Xie Chengze sympathetically.


    If the Marshal can still wake up, he doesn¡¯t intend to tell Xie Chengze about this, but now that the Marshal can¡¯t wake up, Xie Chengze has to face it.


    ¡°What trouble did Young Master Xie encounter?¡± the doctor asked.


    Adjutant Mo said: ¡°The Xie family slandered Young Master Xie on StarNet, and even related the Marshal¡¯s serious illness to Young Master Xie.¡±


    If it was just the conflict between Xie Chengze and Xie¡¯s family, the information he got was enough to clear Xie Chengze¡¯s innocence.


    But if the Marshal passed away¡­who would care about their explanations, would anyone even listen to them?


    Adjutant Mo is very sad now. Something happened to the Marshal, and he may not be able to protect the person the Marshal wants to protect either.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on online?¡± At this moment, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s voice sounded again.


    Everyone was stunned for a moment, this is¡­is this another fraudulent corpse?


    No, of course this is not a fraudulent corpse, the Marshal just came back to life again!


    ¡°Marshal!¡± Everyone was very excited.


    Xie Chengze looked at the person who woke up again in the medical cabin, his eyes were full of yearning.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou only cared about Xie Chengze¡¯s affairs ¨C he didn¡¯t fall asleep, he just lay down and rested, but when he heard something related to Xie Chengze, he couldn¡¯t lie down anymore: ¡°Adjutant Mo, you¡­Speak clearly.¡±


    Adjutant Mo hated Xie¡¯s family to death, the marshal was like this but that Xie¡¯s family still wanted to make trouble!


    He has always obeyed the marshal¡¯s words for so many years, so he told him about what happened in StarNet at this time, and reported the things related to Xie Chengze that he had investigated one by one.


    When Adjutant Mo reported the latter, Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes flickered.


    He was not as obedient as Adjutant Mo thought. In fact, he had been secretly making trouble for the Xie family for the past few years.


    If heaven allowed him to live a few more years, he believed that he would be able to destroy Xie¡¯s family.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking. Hearing this, his mental force almost exploded: ¡°Who released those news on StarNet?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Xie family, to be precise, it¡¯s Xie Chen¡¯an.¡± Adjutant Mo said. Xie Chen¡¯an asked someone to speak ill of Xie Chengze, and left some proof, so it¡¯s easy to investigate.


    ¡°I want to go to Starnet.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze cannot be wronged, he has to help Xie Chengze explain clearly.


    ¡°Marshal, you can¡¯t access the Starnet in your mental state,¡± Adjutant Mo said.


    It¡¯s very simple to access StarNet. They just need to use their mental force to link to the special equipment. Of course, with a normal connection, they can only enter the StarNet by wearing special glasses and a helmet.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mental force has already begun to overflow, how can he enter?


    Lu Yanzhou was silent for a moment, then said, ¡°You start a live broadcast, I¡¯ll tell them.¡±


    Now people on the StarNet think that he is going to die, so they keep attacking Xie Chengze, but if he is fine¡­everyone will listen to his explanation.


    Marshal wants to broadcast live? Adjutant Mo was stunned, but he still started to work according to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s instructions.


    Then, those who were concerned about the marshal¡¯s condition on StarNet discovered that Adjutant Mo had started a live broadcast.


    According to the information sent by Adjutant Mo, it was Marshal Lu who was on live?


    People entered the live broadcast room, then saw the scrawny Marshal Lu in the live broadcast room.


    Marshal Lu had always been the most desirable man in the world to marry, but now he has become like this¡­Many people who watched the live broadcast burst into tears.


    Then they heard Marshal Lu¡¯s voice: ¡°Is everyone here?¡±


    Adjutant Mo said: ¡°Many people are already online.¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou heard that the audience had already arrived, he immediately said, ¡°Point the camera at me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou originally wanted to sit up and broadcast live, but everyone didn¡¯t agree, so he just lay down, which was a little uncomfortable.


    ¡°Already aligned.¡±


    Then he can start talking, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Everyone, I started this live broadcast today to clarify some things on the Internet, ahem, first of all, I apologize to everyone, I didn¡¯t teach my children well, so Chu Jingshan broke his promise.¡±


    Those who watched the live broadcast immediately knew what Lu Yanzhou was going to say. They didn¡¯t think that Lu Yanzhou was wrong in this incident, and even wanted to speak ill of Xie Chengze, but they didn¡¯t say anything to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou also did not give people the opportunity to talk nonsense: ¡°Xie Chengze and Chu Jingshan¡¯s engagement was set with me as the witness. General Xie is a very good person, he often rescues comrades, and he once saved Chu Jingshan¡¯s father from those zergs hands. Chu Jingshan¡¯s father proposed, wanting the two children to be engaged. General Xie did not agree, but Chu Jingshan¡¯s father said that it okay to engaged first, then when the two child grows up, if they doesn¡¯t feel that they are suitable, the engagement can be dissolved.¡±


    Is this how the engagement came about? Those who watched the live broadcast thought that the Internet was full of ¡®General Xie forced the Chu family to get engaged¡¯ before and realized that those things might be all fake.


    No matter what, the marshal will never lie to people about this kind of thing!


    Lu Yanzhou still continues: ¡°I also received General Xie¡¯s help back then, so I took care of General Xie¡¯s child. After I was injured and returned to Capital Star, I asked Chu Jingshan to meet Xie Chengze. It would be best to fulfill the engagement, but I didn¡¯t force him to be with Xie Chengze. It was him who kept telling me that he and Xie Chengze got along happily and were ready to get married¡­Then on his wedding day, I went to take a look, only then did I find out that he married someone else!¡±


    Just as he was talking, Lu Yanzhou felt that his mental force had overflowed again, probably because he was in a better mood.


    That¡¯s right¡­the medical cabin¡¯s alarm also rang again!


    T/N: Talking about shooting their own foot and digging their own pit!


    Theater:


    Lu Yanzhou: I¡¯m getting better


    Alarm: Patient is dying!

 CH 82

    You can post barrages during the live broadcast while other people broadcast live, but the barrage is always messy because people will say all kinds of things.


    However, during Lu Yanzhou¡¯s live broadcast, the barrage was clean, everyone only sent their blessings.


    In the past, when the Zerg did not appear, the human alliance was actually divided. At that time, each planet was in its own way, so conflicts within the planet were frequent.


    However, since the appearance of the Zerg, human beings have been united like never before, and all fighters on the battlefield are respected.


    The original owner went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen and killed countless Zergs. His images are included in the documentaries released by the military every month. It can be said that he grew up watching all human beings.


    A year ago, he was still a strong fighter, but now he is so weak¡­


    There were a lot of people watching the live broadcast. Some even sat in a special live broadcast hall just to watch after logging onto Starnet with their holographic devices.


    They have long heard that Marshal Lu is dying, and now that seems to be true.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou was still saying: ¡°I raised Chu Jingshan, I am also responsible for his mistakes, I will teach him a lesson and I will also compensate Xie Chengze. But here, I want to ask the Xie family, bullying a soldier¡¯s orphan, embezzling a soldier¡¯s inheritance, don¡¯t you feel guilty at all?¡±


    When he said this, the weakened Marshal¡¯s eyes shone brightly, which actually gave people a strange pressure.


    The sobs of the people watching the live broadcast in the holographic hall became louder: ¡°Marshal¡­¡±


    The live broadcast stopped amidst the cries of the crowd.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t broadcast live for too long.


    That¡¯s about it for him, then he just needs to put the relevant evidence of Xie¡¯s family bullying Xie Chengze on the Internet, and then find someone to sue Xie¡¯s family.


    Those that should belong to Xie Chengze, he must help Xie Chengze get it back.


    Speaking of which, the Xie family smeared Xie Chengze on StarNet and involved him, they are actually digging their own holes.


    In the past, no matter how many problems the Xie family had, it wouldn¡¯t be that big of a deal, and he wouldn¡¯t come forward in person, but now it¡¯s different. People on StarNet can scold the Xie family to death.


    As for Chu Jingshan¡­Lu Yanzhou had a bad impression of Chu Jingshan. However, to say that Chu Jingshan did something evil, he really didn¡¯t do it, so he can¡¯t do anything to Chu Jingshan.


    In fact, if Chu Jingshan simply didn¡¯t want to marry Xie Chengze, neither he nor the original owner would mind. The most wrong thing Chu Jingshan did was that he didn¡¯t have a sense of responsibility at all and his mind was dazed, he surprisingly did such a thing like letting the plum tree withers in place of the peach tree1to substitute one thing for another.


    This is equivalent to pushing Xie Chengze into the abyss!


    He did not hide Chu Jingshan¡¯s wrongdoing during the live broadcast. From now on, Chu Jingshan will no longer be the perfect major general in the public¡¯ eyes.


    As for the rest¡­


    The original owner had been paving the way for Chu Jingshan before, so Chu Jingshan was able to become a major general at a young age.


    One must know that the original owner is a major general at his age but the original owner is stronger than him, and he went to the battlefield earlier than him.


    Now¡­Lu Yanzhou asked the adjutant to call some of his old friends and subordinates, then told these old friends to suppress Chu Jingshan in the future, saying that Chu Jingshan needs more experience.


    Chu Jingshan¡¯s journey will never be so smooth in the future, and the original owner¡¯s friends who used to take care of Chu Jingshan for the original owner¡¯s sake will never treat Chu Jingshan differently anymore.


    Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief after finishing all this.


    Now, no one should bully Xie Chengze anymore!


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze, then he saw Xie Chengze looking at him with red eyes.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled at him, but his smile froze halfway.


    Doesn¡¯t he look quite ugly now?


    Wait, he just broadcasts live like this?


    Forget it, since it¡¯s like this, just get used to it.


    Lu Yanzhou closed his eyes and went to sleep, waiting for the results tomorrow. As for tonight¡­many people probably won¡¯t be able to sleep all night.


    Just as Lu Yanzhou expected, the internet is now in an uproar.


    Adjutant Mo put the evidence that Xie Chengze¡¯s parents¡¯ property was taken by the Xie family, Xie Chengze was mentally attacked more than once when he was young and nearly died, and all the evidence that Xie Chengze never went to school was put online together. They also said they have hired a lawyer and will sue the Xie family.


    Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this.


    Although Xie Chengze has no mental force, Xie Chengze is not the only one who has no mental force in this world! What¡¯s more, most ordinary people in this world have a very low mental force level, so they can¡¯t use mental power to attack others. However, it¡¯s very easy for those with higher mental force to hurt them if they want to.


    So there has always been a law that strictly prohibits people with a high mental force level to hurt anyone, so as not to abuse their mental force.


    Even if Xie Chengze wasn¡¯t born in the Xie family, he wouldn¡¯t get attack no matter what!


    What¡¯s more, the money left by General Xie didn¡¯t even fall into Xie Chengze¡¯s hands! Xie Chengze didn¡¯t even go to school!


    Even if he can¡¯t go to StarNet classes, does Capital Star even lack schools?


    With General Xie¡¯s wealth, it¡¯s not a problem to invite a teacher to teach Xie Chengze at home!


    How did the Xie family treat an orphan whose parents fought on the front line and died on the battlefield?


    General Xie is a man with great military merits!


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Xie family too much?¡±


    ¡°Thinking about it carefully, the previous remarks that smeared and slandered Xie Chengze are really unbelievable. How can he, an orphan with no mental force, be so domineering with just an engagement?¡±


    ¡°He is too pitiful!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Xie family to be like this. They have been corrupted all their lives.¡±


    ¡°I want to apologize to Xie Chengze. I scolded him before. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. If we didn¡¯t listen to rumors and spread nonsense on the Internet, the marshal wouldn¡¯t have to force himself to explain live.¡±


    ¡­


    Previously, everyone felt that Xie Chengze was too much and disturbed the marshal¡¯s recuperation.


    However, the fact is that the Xie family slandered Xie Chengze and they spoke indiscriminately, which forced the marshal to come forward to clarify.


    For a while, everyone hated the Xie family.


    The Xie family was terrified.


    It was already night when they released Xie Chengze¡¯s gossip, seeing the public opinion on the Internet going in the direction they wanted, they fell asleep contentedly.


    As a result, they were woken up not long after falling asleep and found out that the marshal had started a live broadcast!


    They, the Xie family, are over!


    In fact, if the marshal was not involved, even if Xie Chengze was wronged at Xie¡¯s house, they would at most pay some money, after all, Xie Chengze was alive and well.


    But now that the Marshal has come forward!


    The marshal¡¯s mental force even overflowed during the live broadcast.


    His life is ending but he is still thinking about Xie Chengze, so he insisted on clarifying for Xie Chengze.


    And why would he do it? Isn¡¯t it because the Xie family is too much?


    So it¡¯s all the Xie family¡¯s fault!


    The Xie family started to blame each other, and Xie Chen¡¯an was the one who got burnt most.


    Framing Xie Chengze is entirely Xie Chen¡¯an¡¯s idea!


    The Xie family was in a mess with both internal and external troubles for a while.


    The Xie family was very anxious, and Chu Jingshan was also confused.


    As soon as Chu Jingshan arrived at the Xie house, he went to rest and fell asleep early. He didn¡¯t know what the Xie family was doing, so he didn¡¯t know what happened until Lu Yanzhou started the live broadcast and his friend called to wake him up.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s live broadcast was very short. When Chu Jingshan was on Starnet, the live broadcast had already ended, but there was a recorded video.


    Seeing the video, Chu Jingshan¡¯s eyes turned red¡ªhis father was too ruthless. When people talk about him in the future, they will probably think of ¡®breaking faith and abandoning right2Betray, perfidy, or treachery¡¯.


    Most importantly, he felt that his father was favoring Xie Chengze.


    Isn¡¯t Xie Chengze doing well? Why did he say that Xie Chengze was greatly wronged at Xie¡¯s house?


    His father did this, how can he hold his head up in the future?


    While still thinking about it, Chu Jingshan saw the evidence sent by Adjutant Mo.


    This is completely different from what he thought. Looking at these things¡­It seems that Xie Chengze really suffered a lot of grievances at Xie¡¯s house?


    Chu Jingshan rushed out immediately, approached Xie Chen¡¯an, and questioned him.


    It can be said that the whole network is blacklisting the Xie family for what they did. Naturally, they had thought of a way to deal with it. After thinking about it, they felt that they still had to get hold of Chu Jingshan.


    No matter what, Chu Jingshan is also a major general and the adopted son of Marshal Lu. As long as Chu Jingshan is on their side, the others will always show mercy to the Xie family.


    Xie Chen¡¯an immediately began to cry, saying that Xie Chengze had a bad temper since he was a child, so they had some conflicts with Xie Chengze. The time Xie Chengze was seriously injured by a mental attack was also because Xie Chengze bit him, so he fought back after being frightened.


    They did not give him the money left by Xie Chengze¡¯s parents because they were worried that Xie Chengze would spend all the money recklessly! As for not letting Xie Chengze go to school¡­Xie Chengze has no mental force, so many things cannot be used. They let Xie Chengze stay at home for Xie Chengze¡¯s safety.


    Xie Chen¡¯an was just quibbling, but Chu Jingshan¡­believed it.


    Regardless of whether it was true or not, anyway, Chu Jingshan was on the Xie family¡¯s side. He is going to go to Lu Yanzhou to explain it tomorrow.


    Lu Yanzhou had already fallen asleep, and Xie Chengze was holding a tablet, browsing the online content with an outdated device.


    Such devices cannot don¡¯t have identity information, so there is very little information that they can view, so they cannot speak freely on StarNet.


    However, he can watch Lu Yanzhou¡¯s battle video.


    Xie Chengze looked at those, and then at Marshal Lu lying in the medical cabin, he couldn¡¯t tell what his feeling was like.


    At this moment, his communicator rang. Someone he knew sent a message, asking him how he persuaded Marshal Lu to help him.


    In fact, Xie Chengze knew about the fact that the Xie family slandered him on the Internet before Adjutant Mo came.


    An acquaintance told him about it.


    He didn¡¯t want to disturb the marshal and make the marshal worry about his affairs, and he had a lot of video evidence in his hand. He planned to wait for the marshal to die before making things worse.


    However, before he could do anything, the marshal helped him settle the matter.


    It¡¯s a pity that he was born with an illness, otherwise¡­he would have joined the army long ago, and would have been by the Marshal¡¯s side to help the Marshal!


    Wait, Xie Chengze froze suddenly.


    If he had gone to the marshal ahead of time, he might have become the marshal¡¯s adopted son.


    But¡­as long as the marshal can live a good life, he is willing to be an adopted son too.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking. After the live broadcast, he found a way to earn merit, that is, to tell people how to use menta force on live, he could also talk about the zergs¡¯ weaknesses.


    The Zergs in this world are a bit similar to tardigrades on Earth. They are a huge group but their reproduction is mainly carried out by the Zerg Queen, while the rest of the Zergs are responsible for protecting the Queen. Their size determines their strength and their status in the zerg.


    Most importantly, they can survive in the universe! They have no fear whether it¡¯s high and low temperatures!


    It¡¯s very difficult for humans to kill them. The shell hardness of high-level Zerg is comparable to that of a battleship. The best way to kill Zerg is to use mental force.


    However, before humans faced the Zerg, they didn¡¯t actually study mental force. At that time, everyone only thought that people with strong mental forces were smart and suitable for research.


    Therefore, many of those who resisted the Zerg at the beginning came from research institutes and other places were all addicted research geeks and nerds.


    It¡¯s different now. Nowadays, as long as their mental force level reaches D level, they have to learn how to use mental force to attack. In the early years, there were even regulations, people with mental force above level B must serve in the army. However, human research on mental force is not thorough enough.


    At least some methods of using mental force the original owner mastered have not been spread.


    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body entered the military academy at the age of ten, and was trained to be a qualified soldier and even general, he was especially good at fighting Zerg.


    But in other aspects, he is not very good at it. For example, he doesn¡¯t know anything about human relationships, so he doesn¡¯t know anything about Xie Chengze¡¯s situation, and he hasn¡¯t given it much thought.


    He didn¡¯t know how to teach others some of the attack methods he learned in battle¡­


    In fact, he had told the people around him, but if he didn¡¯t explain it carefully enough, it would be difficult for the people around him to comprehend. So in the end, whether it¡¯s the original owner or the people around the original owner, only the original owner, who has high mental force, is so strong.


    The original owner was busy fighting again, so he didn¡¯t have time to delve into his own fighting style.


    But Lu Yanzhou has been working on his mental force for the past few days, he realized that some of the original owner¡¯s skills in using mental force can be taught to others.


    He had led students when he was engaged in research in the previous two worlds, and he also knew how to make others learn faster.


    ¡°Young Master Xie, you didn¡¯t rest last night?¡± The doctor¡¯s voice rang in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ear, ¡°You should take a rest, lest your body cannot bear it.¡±


    What happened to Xie Chengze?


    Just as Xie Chengze, who doesn¡¯t look very good, responded, Lu Yanzhou got his ¡®final radiance of the setting sun¡¯ again: ¡°Xie Chengze¡­what¡¯s wrong with him?¡±


    ¡°Marshal?!¡± The doctor was surprised and delighted.


    Marshal Lu is really a miracle. If it were someone else, they might not wake up long ago, but Marshal Lu is different. He wakes up again and again.


    He¡¯s really strong!


    This should also have something to do with Marshal Lu¡¯s strong mental force. Didn¡¯t a lot of Marshal Lu¡¯ mental force overflow, so the mental force he possesses now still exceeds S level?


    What¡¯s more, every time Marshal Lu wakes up, it seems to be related to Xie Chengze?


    Marshal Lu really attaches great importance to Xie Chengze.


    The more he knew this, the more the doctor wanted to help Xie Chengze hide it: ¡°Marshal, Young Master Xie didn¡¯t sleep last night, so his face was not very good-looking.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°Even if you are young, you should sleep well. AZe, go and rest.¡±


    After people sent Xie Chengze to sleep, Lu Yanzhou said to the doctor: ¡°Doctor, please bring Adjutant Mo here.¡±


    Adjutant Mo was soon there.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say much, he directly said: ¡°Adjutant Mo, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you, I want to start a live broadcast.¡±


    ¡°Marshal?¡± Adjutant Mo was puzzled.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I have some experience from fighting the zerg, I want to share it with others.¡±


    Adjutant Mo said: ¡°But¡­ Marshal, your body¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know how to tell others about his physical condition, so he could only emphasize that he was fine.


    Although his mental force is overflowing now, his vital signs are still stable. These people should know¡­he¡¯s alright, right?


    He¡¯ll be fine in a few days anyway, so be it.


    Lu Yanzhou insisted, so Adjutant Mo would naturally not stop him. According to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s request, he contacted the army and asked those who did not need to be on duty to watch the marshal¡¯s live broadcast as much as possible, and then put the live broadcast room on the star network.


    Marshal is going to broadcast live again!


    What is the Marshal going to say this time?


    Everyone entered the live broadcast room immediately.


    The live broadcast room had already started, but Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t spoken yet. Everyone could only see their marshal lying in the medical cabin with many tubes inserted into his body, looking extremely weak.


    Lu Yanzhou is indeed weak right now, he is enduring severe pain every moment.


    But seeing that the time was almost right, he smiled at the camera: ¡°Hello everyone, I know that many people are worried about my body¡­I¡¯m fine, I will gradually get better.¡±


    The people watching the live broadcast were sobbing again.


    Marshal¡¯s situation is basically impossible to get better.


    Those born without mental force are fine, but those with mental force will not survive if their mental force overflows after being severely injured.


    This is equivalent to brain death.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°I started the live broadcast this time to tell you about several ways to use mental force. This is what I summed up from the battlefield. I haven¡¯t had a chance to tell anyone about it before. Now I want to talk about it.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou can¡¯t liven up the atmosphere, he is enduring severe pain now, and he doesn¡¯t have time to spend on irrelevant things.


    So he directly cut to the point and began to talk about how to use mental force.


    People who watched the live broadcast cried while watching.


    Before his death, the marshal was still thinking about all mankind¡­

 CH 83

    Lu Yanzhou knew that Lu Rong would come over today, but he didn¡¯t expect Lu Rong to be like this.


    Lu Rong¡¯s clothes were of acceptable material, but they were dirty and couldn¡¯t keep her warm at all. Her shoes were also covered in mud, her face was two degrees darker than yesterday, and her lip color was also white, making people feel very sorry for her after seeing her.


    She didn¡¯t even have a small baggage, she only had a wrap swaddling baby. She really looked like someone who was in distress.


    ¡°My family had an accident, so I couldn¡¯t live on, that¡¯s why I came to the capital to look for relatives, but unfortunately I didn¡¯t find them¡­¡± Lu Rong told them what happened before with red eyes, which made the people around her sympathize.


    When Lu Yanzhou came out, Lu Rong said even more fearfully: ¡°Young master, I heard that there is porridge here, I came here to beg for some porridge.¡±


    Lu Rong vividly portrayed a woman, who was in distress and was about to die, obviously because she didn¡¯t want others to know about her relationship with Lu Yanzhou.


    This is indeed beneficial to them.


    Taking it for granted, Lu Yanzhou kept Lu Rong and asked her to choose a house from the newly built house.


    Lu Rong chose one, then thanked him again and again, saying that she would help with the work.


    Lu Rong also mentioned that her husband¡¯s family has a small business, so she can not only wash and cook, but also settle accounts.


    Lu Yanzhou was overjoyed, and immediately arranged some work for her.


    Doing all this took about half an hour. When Lu Yanzhou turned around, he saw Xie Chengze had come out of the room and was chatting with the abbot of Jingning Temple.


    Seeing that he was done, Xie Chengze looked over and smiled.


    ¡°Brother Cheng, I¡¯m really sorry for neglecting you.¡± Lu Yanzhou walked up to Xie Chengze in a few steps.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I¡¯m here to relax, why call it negligent?¡±


    Having said that, Xie Chengze was very happy when Lu Yanzhou finally had time to talk to him. After exchanging a few sentences with Lu Yanzhou, he took the initiative to ask if there was anything that needed his help.


    Lu Yanzhou then found a job for him to do ¡ª to name and register the orphans in the temple.


    Although the orphans taken in by Jingning Temple had names, they were all casually called ¡®Goudan¡¯, ¡®Da Ya¡¯, ¡®Er Mao¡¯. Most of them didn¡¯t have real names. Lu Yanzhou wanted to find someone to give them nice names.


    It was a simple job. Xie Chengze sat on the chair that Lu Yanzhou used to see patients, and named those children.


    After picking two, he looked at the people around him and asked someone to buy some food and deliver it.


    Xie Chengze had donated money before when he came to Jingning Temple, but he didn¡¯t donate much¡ªhe didn¡¯t have much money.


    Moreover, he knew that there were tens of thousands of poor people in this world. Instead of donating money to help others, he might as well handle political affairs so that the people can live and work in peace.


    However, seeing Lu Yanzhou busy back and forth with these children and elderly people today, he also wanted to do his part.


    He wanted to buy some food for the children here, and reward Lu Yanzhou as well.


    The children¡¯s names are quickly decided. After registering it, the booklet must be given to Lu Rong.


    Others have come here long ago, but Lu Rong is different. She just came today, so Xie Chengze was deeply impressed by her.


    Out of habit, Xie Chengze also asked about Lu Rong¡¯s hometown.


    Lu Rong grew up in the capital and knew that her accent could not be changed, so she said, ¡°I grew up in the capital. When I was ten years old, my parents took me back to my hometown, where I got married and had children¡­¡±


    Lu Rong used to live in willow alley and flower street, where most of the women couldn¡¯t survive and had to do that job. The identity she gave herself now was actually the experience of one of the flower women.


    The flower woman husband¡¯s family was in the porcelain business, but their luck was bad and the earth dragon also turned over. The porcelain that had just been brought into the house fell to pieces, and all the belongings were lost.


    The flower woman husband had no choice but to borrow money from someone to buy the goods. As a result, he encountered robbers on the road. Because the goods were bought with borrowed money, he was reluctant to let go, so the robbers chopped off his head.


    The flower woman¡¯s husband died, but the porter he hired to buy goods with him escaped home. The porter told the neighbors about this, and people that the flower woman¡¯s family borrowed money all came to ask for it every day. The flower woman was helpless, so she wanted to come to the capital to see some relatives with her child, but the relatives weren¡¯t found. The child became sick after, so she had to sell herself, but even so, she still couldn¡¯t save her child.


    Lu Rong changed the flower woman experience a bit and used it as her own, which seems seamless.


    Xie Chengze also knew about the earth dragon turnover matter, but because it was not serious, the imperial court did not provide disaster relief. It¡¯s just, he didn¡¯t expect this to break a small family, so he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Rong smiled and said, ¡°Young master Cheng, I¡¯m pretty good. I survived anyway, and now I also have a place to stay.¡±


    Lu Rong is really in a good mood at the moment. She was young back then and didn¡¯t know much about the Lu family¡¯s affairs. After the Lu family¡¯s accident, people in the capital never dared to mention the Lu family, thinking that the Lu family was dead. Meeting Lu Yanzhou yesterday, she just realized that not only was her cousin still alive, but four of her cousins were also still alive.


    In addition, her cousin was very organized and arranged the matter of revenge in an orderly manner, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.


    This young master Cheng in front of her didn¡¯t have the arrogance of a young master from a wealthy family, and he also seemed to be a good friend of her cousin, so she quite liked Xie Chengze.


    ¡°You will definitely get better and better.¡± Xie Chengze said seriously.


    Lu Rong smiled and quickly helped with the work,


    While Lu Rong was working, she also carried her child behind her back. Many country people did this, but Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t seen it before, so he couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances. Seeing that the child fell asleep with his head tilted without wearing a hat, he felt a little worried: ¡°It¡¯s cold today, won¡¯t the child get cold?¡±


    He remembered that there was such a big child in his maternal grandfather¡¯s family but he didn¡¯t go out very much in winter. He not only wore a hat when he went out, but also had his mother beside him to help block the wind, or cover his head and face with a scarf.


    ¡°This cold is not bad, he¡¯s like this every day,¡± Lu Rong said, ¡°We are a small family, we are not that sophisticated.¡±


    Just as she was talking, the food Xie Chengze had bought was delivered.


    Xie Chengze started to deal with government affairs very early, and his mother even found a great scholar to teach him. He understands the world and human condition, so he didn¡¯t buy flashy things.


    He had someone weigh 20 catties of the cheapest pastry in the capital, and he had someone buy some stewed eggs and chicken from a stewed vegetable restaurant to send as extra vegetables, and nothing else.


    So this afternoon, when the children were drinking porridge, there¡¯s stewed egg and stewed chicken in the bowl.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side is even richer. Braised chicken legs, stewed chicken wings, stewed chicken feet are all available, and there is also a marinated pig¡¯s trotter. The greedy little monks in the temple, who were salivating, were pulled away by the older monk, yelling that they did not want to be a monk.


    ¡°Brother Cheng, you are going to ruin the little monk¡¯s practices.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed.


    Xie Chengze was also a little happy when he thought of the little monk¡¯s appearance, and said: ¡°Also, Zhu¡¯s lady who just arrived and is nursing the child, this pig¡¯s trotter was bought for her, let someone send it over.¡±


    Lu Rong told people that her husband¡¯s family name was Zhu, so everyone called her ¡°Zhu¡¯s lady¡±.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°How about letting her eat in the house. We can eat on the kang, she, Chang Feng, and your guards can eat at the table next to her¡­Her room is not warm yet.¡±


    Xie Chengze agreed.


    Half of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house was taken up by the kang, and the rest was taken by an eight immortal table. When Lu Rong was called in, she ate with Chang Feng and the others.


    They ate the same food as Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, except for the vegetarian food in the temple, which was lo mei that Xie Chengze had someone buy, Lu Rong also had a whole pig¡¯s trotter.


    Lu Rong had to rent a house to live these years, so her life was very tight. She seldom ate like this on weekdays, so she had a better impression of Xie Chengze for a while.


    After Xie Chengze left and finally settled down, Lu Rong said to Lu Yanzhou, ¡°Little nine, that young master Cheng is a nice guy, which family does he belong to?¡±


    Having experienced too many things in these years, Lu Rong¡¯s vision has long been cultivated. She can see that Xie Chengze is unusual at a glance.


    That temperament, that hand, that face and teeth, not any rich family can just raise him.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hide it either: ¡°He is the crown prince.¡±


    Lu Rong¡¯s face suddenly changed, her eyes were full of hatred: ¡°Crown prince? He is the crown prince?!¡±


    Lu Rong looked as if she wanted to fight Xie Chengze, so Lu Yanzhou quickly said: ¡°Seventh sister, I said before that I have become King Rui¡¯s advisor, and I¡¯m also on good terms with the crown prince.¡±


    It took Lu Rong a while to calm down: ¡°What are your plans?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Seventh sister, I found out that the crown prince has a serious heart condition after meeting him.¡±


    ¡°He has a heart condition? No wonder such a big man still uses lip rouge.¡± Lu Rong said immediately.


    Lu Rong¡¯s observation powers are really astonishing. Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s because of his heart condition that he lives in seclusion. He has already reached adulthood but has yet to marry a wife. Sister, with the crown prince¡¯s situation, he won¡¯t be a trouble to us. On the contrary, we have to protect him.¡±


    ¡°Protect?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°King Rui wants to bring the crown prince down with all his heart. If something happens to the crown prince and King Rui¡¯s family dominates, we will definitely be useless to King Rui. We have to cripple both of them first, it¡¯s best to kill King Rui first. ¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou said that he was going to kill King Rui, he was very calm, as if it was not difficult, which undoubtedly surprised Lu Rong even more. She always felt that her younger brother now was very unusual: ¡°Okay, I will listen to you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou started explaining to Lu Rong, of course, the main point was how to deal with King Rui.


    Lu Yanzhou really wanted to get rid of King Rui. Firstly, King Rui was really not a good person. The original owner followed King Rui, so he often saw King Rui doing dirty things.


    The original owner is also not clear-headed. He even thinks that the cruel and ruthless King Rui being has the demeanor of a monarch.


    But in fact, King Rui and the current emperor are worthy of being father and son, both of them are selfish people.


    What¡¯s more, King Rui wanted to kill Xie Chengze.


    It is true that Xie Chengze died under the original owner¡¯s scheme, but besides the original owner, King Rui arranged for others to attack Xie Chengze too, it¡¯s just that none of them succeeded.


    Such a person who might harm Xie Chengze at any time¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to let him go.


    However, about what he said to Lu Rong that Xie Chengze and King Rui would both suffer¡­This is nonsense, he is just trying to stabilize Lu Rong.


    Lu Rong is quite capable and has many people on hand. He is afraid that Lu Rong will suddenly attack Xie Chengze.


    As for what to do in the future¡­Why did he bring Lu Rong here? One of the reasons is to let Lu Rong and Xie Chengze get along more.


    Xie Chengze is a very nice person, after getting along with her a lot, Lu Rong¡¯s heart, which is not made of iron, will always waver.


    What¡¯s more, the Lu family matter had nothing to do with Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze was only three years old then.


    Lu Yanzhou discussed with Lu Rong, teased Lu Rong¡¯s child, then reminded Lu Rong to take back the unfinished pig¡¯s trotters.


    When it comes to pig¡¯s trotters, Lu Rong¡¯s expression is a bit complicated.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°They have ruined the whole Lu family, why can¡¯t we eat a pig¡¯s trotter from him?¡±


    After that, Lu Rong took the trotters with her.


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou hired someone to build more houses, and asked Lu Rong to keep the accounts and be a housekeeper.


    Others are quite envious when they see it, but they weren¡¯t jealous, because Lu Rong is really a neat person, and she calculates accounts very quickly.


    Like this, it was very normal for Lu Rong to talk to Lu Yanzhou. When Lu Rong went to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house at night, everyone only thought that she was only going there to give him the account and didn¡¯t think too much about it.


    Lu Rong is tall with a square face and thick lips. This is the typical appearance of the Lu family, coupled with her deliberate honest appearance, it makes people not think of them doing other things, not to mention that she is always carrying a child.


    Another thing happened on the second day, that is, Xie Chengze sent people to send a lot of books to Lu Yanzhou and some food.


    The food this time was specially delivered to Lu Yanzhou. It was different from the previous day. There were not only pastries made by Chef Donggong, but also marinated beef.


    At this time, ordinary people can¡¯t eat beef¡­Lu Yanzhou divided half of it with Lu Rong.


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡±


    A few days later, the second batch of houses had been built, and Lu Yanzhou took in some more people. He also invited a doctor to treat the people he took in and learn traditional medicine from him.


    He did this in order to accumulate enough merits as soon as possible to help Xie Chengze heal his heart condition.


    It¡¯s just that this is ancient times and he has no power, so it was still a bit inconvenient to do things, the speed of accumulating merit is also relatively slow.


    Today, when the new clothes made by Lu Yanzhou were delivered, he asked all the children he took in to shave their hair and take a bath, and put on new clothes.


    People at this time put a lot of emphasis on their hair, but children with shaved heads are not little too. The children had seen a lot of monks, so they didn¡¯t care about it. Instead, they asked curiously if they were going to be monks? Are they not allowed to eat meat anymore?


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°You won¡¯t be a monk. You just shave your head, so you can continue to eat meat.¡±


    The little monks in the temple burst into tears immediately.


    Lu Yanzhou looked awkwardly at the solemn abbot, then the abbot pushed the three young monks in the temple forward: ¡°Alright, your six roots are not clean yet, so return to normal life okay!¡±


    When he acted like this, the three young monks were startled, then they all said: ¡°Abbot, I don¡¯t want to go!¡±


    The abbot said: ¡°When you grow up, if you still want to learn Buddhism, you can become a monk again.¡±


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    These days, he gets along more with the abbot, and he knows why Xie Chengze likes to come here. He also likes to chat with the abbot.


    The abbot of Jingning Temple didn¡¯t become a monk until he was in his thirties, and he had been traveling around in his early years. That kind of experience made him very knowledgeable and open-minded.


    The three young monks dared to cry out to him, it could be seen that he was very kind to the three children.


    The three young monks returned to normal life, put on the new padded clothes Lu Yanzhou bought and ate the meat porridge that Lu Yanzhou ordered.


    They were eating when Xie Chengze came again. He was a little confused when he saw a group of bald heads.


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°These children have lices in their hair, so I make them shave their heads.¡±


    In fact, not only the children shaved their heads, but the old people also shaved their heads.


    Homeless people don¡¯t really care about their hair. Who wouldn¡¯t want to become a monk if they can survive the famine year? People would also try to enter the palace to be an eunuch too.


    These old people have no land, they can¡¯t find work and can only wander around when they are old. If Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t taken them in, they probably wouldn¡¯t survive this winter. They just shave their heads, what¡¯s the big deal?


    ¡°This is indeed a good idea.¡± Xie Chengze nodded in approval, but when he saw the books related to traditional medicine placed in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s room, he couldn¡¯t help frowning: ¡°Are you studying medicine?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m very interested in medical skills, so I just study it.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t quite agree: ¡°There¡¯s only three months before Chunwei, you¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Brother Cheng, I have read all the books you gave me, if you don¡¯t believe me, you can test me.¡±


    Wang Linyuan is Xie Chengze¡¯s mentor, and Xie Chengze has already memorized the books that Wang Linyuan annotated by heart, so he started to ask questions.


    Lu Yanzhou could answer all the questions, and even recite all the notes.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in shock. He gave the book to Lu Yanzhou only seven or eight days ago, and Lu Yanzhou also work on many other things these days¡­


    Lu Yanzhou smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not talented, but I have a very good memory.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Brother Cheng, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore, I bought some sweet potatoes today, shall we go roast the sweet potatoes?¡±


    ¡°Roasted sweet potato?¡± Xie Chengze was puzzled.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that Xie Chengze had been dealing with political affairs for a few years now.


    King Rui was also very jealous, so he knew that there was a lot of pressure on him, especially since Xie Chengze was only a crown prince, not yet the emperor.


    In the past two years, the crown prince was fined to kneeled because of his inappropriate handling of affairs.


    It was rare for Xie Chengze to come out, he definitely wanted to relax, so he simply took Xie Chengze to do something that did not require thinking, such as roasting sweet potatoes with a group of children.


    Roasting sweet potatoes takes time, and Lu Yanzhou also found some rice and threw it into the fire to pop them into rice crackers, then the children rushed to eat them.


    Xie Chengze looked at it strangely. Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou picked up a few clean ones for him: ¡°Brother Cheng, do you want to try it?¡±


    Xie Chengze did not refuse, and ate it.


    The rice crackers had no taste, but he managed to taste some sweetness amidst the children¡¯s yelling.


    While waiting for the sweet potatoes to be ready, Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze some anecdotes about the countryside, which Xie Chengze had never heard of, so he naturally listened with gusto.


    ¡°The sweet potato should be almost ready.¡± Lu Yanzhou found a slender sweet potato from the fire, peeled half of it and brought it to Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth: ¡°Taste it.¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a bite.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help smiling.


    The Xie Chengze in this world was very calm when facing him, which made him a little uncertain about Xie Chengze¡¯s feeling, but now that his royal highness has already ate the things he handed over, he definitely has feelings for him.


    Facing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s smile, Xie Chengze paused, quickly took the sweet potato and said, ¡°I¡¯ll eat it myself.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t do anything else.


    In the past few worlds, he never pursued Xie Chengze seriously, so it¡¯s good to take his time in this world.


    At this moment, Xie Chengze was a little embarrassed by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sudden action. He didn¡¯t continue to look at Lu Yanzhou. He looked away and then saw Lu Rong standing not far away with the child on her back.


    Xie Chengze immediately said: ¡°Sister-in-law Zhu, do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes? It¡¯s cold, so eating a sweet potato can warm your body.¡±


    Lu Rong didn¡¯t show any strangeness in front of Xie Chengze, and said with a smile: ¡°Young master Cheng, I used to eat this food a lot, so I don¡¯t want it anymore. I want to save my stomach for dry food later.¡±


    Xie Chengze heard the words and said: ¡°I brought some bacon over today. Sister-in-law, let the kitchen steam it and serve everyone dinner.¡±


    Xie Chengze is the crown prince after all, so he usually puts on airs.


    However, since he loves Lu Yanzhou, he naturally wants to get close to Lu Yanzhou and the people around Lu Yanzhou.


    Although Xie Chengze didn¡¯t come over the few days before, he delivered food to them several times. Lu Rong was used to him giving away food, so she answered right away: ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to steam it right away.¡±


    When the children around heard this, their eyes lit up, wishing they could eat right away.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Brother Cheng, don¡¯t give away such food anymore. These children eat better than the children in the village. If this continues, someone might deliberately throw their children to me.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think carefully.¡± Xie Chengze immediately apologized.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze with deep meaning, ¡°I know you are thinking of me before sending it. I¡¯m very happy.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, his chest was bulging.


    Touching his chest, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked worriedly.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s expression had returned to normal, ¡°I still have some things at home¡­I have to go back.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you off.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze came in a carriage, so Lu Yanzhou sent Xie Chengze to the carriage, and then pulled Xie Chengze to talk and refused to let Xie Chengze go.


    When Chang Feng ran over with a small clay pot, Lu Yanzhou handed the pot to Xie Chengze: ¡°Brother Cheng, this is a snack I made not long ago, you take it to eat¡­you are too thin, you have to eat more. ¡±


    As far as he knew, the crown prince Xie Chengze was usually busy with government affairs and would forget to eat¡­It¡¯s said that Xie Chengze¡¯s appetite is not very good.


    So, he made some sesame balls from the beneficial sesame seeds eaten by heart patients and gave them to Xie Chengze as snacks.


    Xie Chengze took it, then Lu Yanzhou stepped aside and watched the carriage go away.


    ¡°Little nine,¡± Lu Rong called out, ¡°Are you¡­are you too close to him?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Seventh sister, haven¡¯t you noticed? The crown prince likes men, and he is interested in me.¡±


    Lu Rong turned pale with shock: ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I also like men, thus the first time I saw him, I found that he likes men¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou raised the corners of his mouth, smiling coldly, ¡°I acted like what he liked according to the information about him that King Rui investigated¡­After being in contact with me a few times, he is attracted to me.¡±


    ¡°You like men?¡± Lu Rong frowned. She had been staying in flower street and willow alley before, so she naturally knew about men and men.


    Lu Yanzhou acted like it wasn¡¯t a big deal: ¡°Yes, I like men¡­but that¡¯s not the point, the point is that the crown prince likes me, it will be much easier for us to get revenge.¡±


    Lu Rong was still a little dazed when she heard Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Speaking of which, his royal highness the crown prince is quite naive. He mustn¡¯t have experienced it before, it didn¡¯t take me much to get him hooked.¡±


    When Lu Rong heard her cousin say that, she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.


    She hated the dog emperor to death and wanted to kill the dog emperor. Naturally, she didn¡¯t want to let the dog emperor¡¯s two sons go.


    But thinking about all the things Xie Chengze sent these days, and looking at her cousin¡¯s unscrupulous appearance¡­She was a little uncomfortable.


    She has seen all kinds of people. Although she has not had much contact with Xie Chengze, she can also see that the crown is a very nice person. Not to mention, there are few wealthy people in the capital who are like the crown prince and do not dislike the children they took in, right?


    It¡¯s fine if he wants to kill someone with a knife, however, as for deceiving feelings¡­


    Seeing Lu Rong¡¯s appearance, Lu Yanzhou was in a good mood.


    It wasn¡¯t in vain that he took Lu Rong here and spared no effort to blacken himself.


    After a while, Lu Rong should sympathize with Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Seventh sister, I will go to the capital tomorrow to meet King Rui.¡±


    After hearing this, Lu Rong regained her composure, and then said, ¡°Little nine, you must be careful when the time comes, don¡¯t let King Rui notice anything wrong.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Seventh sister, don¡¯t worry. King Rui thinks that I have deep love for him, so he trusts me very much.¡±


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡±


    Blame that damn dog emperor! Her little nine was such a pure and kind child before. If the fish he raised died, he would even erect a monument for it. What has he become now!


    However, she really can¡¯t say that about little nine, she is also not a good person.


    Lu Rong continued to work in a complicated mood.


    However, Lu Yanzhou went back to his residence, took out the book Xie Chengze brought him today, and read it.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze opened the clay pot that Lu Yanzhou had given him and took out a black ball.


    ¡°Your highness, shall I try first?¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s guard asked. The previous sweet potatoes were roasted on fire. They had watched the previous sweet potatoes baked in the fire, but this kind of unknown origin food, his highness cannot eat freely.


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°No need.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Xie Chengze took a bite of the ball in his hand.


    The strong aroma of sesame spreads in the mouth¡­Xie Chengze slowly finished one, and then closed the lid of the clay pot.


    He should eat well and take care of his body.


    King Rui has always been eyeing the position of crown prince, and the officials on his side are often targeted by King Rui¡¯s people.


    The official who presided over the imperial examination this time was a student of his mentor and a loyal crown prince¡¯s party. If Lu Yanzhou became a Jinshi and became a student of his senior brother, he would naturally be assigned to his side, then he would also be targeted by King Rui.


    He always wants to live longer and protect people.


    Thinking of Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze regretted not staying in Jingning Temple for a while longer.


    He was afraid that he would fall too deep into it, so he left in a hurry, but how could he control this feeling? Obviously, he had just left Jingning Temple but he had already started thinking about when he would go back there again.


    It¡¯s a pity he doesn¡¯t always have time to go.


    Xie Chengze hugged the clay pot and began to think about what he had in his East Palace¡­He planned to choose two things, pack them up tonight, and send someone to give it to Lu Yanzhou tomorrow.


    T/N:


    Lu Rong: My xiao jiu is now a scumbag because of that dog emperor! But the two people my xiao jiu play with are the dog emperor¡¯s sons¡­.Dunno whether to be happy or sad (¨s¡ã§¥¡ã£©¨s¦à/(.¡õ . \)

 CH 84

    The next day, Lu Yanzhou went to King Rui¡¯s teahouse to meet King Rui.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that King Rui must have sent someone to watch him, so he didn¡¯t hide anything about what he did, and told all the things he did in Jingning Temple, and said: ¡°The crown prince is really angling for fame, I act like this and he really treats me differently.¡±


    King Rui already knew that Xie Chengze had delivered things to Lu Yanzhou several times, he also felt that Lu Yanzhou had done a good job, so he looked at Lu Yanzhou affectionately and said, ¡°Jizhi, you have worked hard.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou pretended to be flattered: ¡°It¡¯s my honor to be able to work for wangye.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou accompanied King Rui in a play, as for what kind of play¡­it was naturally the play in which he had the deepest affection for King Rui and was willing to devote himself to King Rui until he died.


    In the process of acting, he also discovered that King Rui should know the original owner¡¯s feelings and intend to guide him.


    He also thinks so. If King Rui didn¡¯t respond, how could the original owner fall deeper and deeper?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t tell King Rui about Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition or even his sexual orientation, he only said some things that Xie Chengze said when he talked to him: ¡°I have only met the crown prince three times, so we didn¡¯t talk much.¡±


    Knowing that Xie Chengze even gave Lu Yanzhou the books that Wang Linyuan personally wrote and commented on, King Rui said: ¡°He values you very much, he probably wants to cultivate you into a confidant. You can stay by his side and wait for the opportunity.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou immediately agreed. King Rui saw that he agreed, so stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand and said something like if he can achieve great things in the future, he will treat Lu Yanzhou well.


    Fortunately, he probably felt disgusted with himself because he didn¡¯t like men, so he quickly let go of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand, otherwise Lu Yanzhou won¡¯t be able to bear it.


    After making a bunch of promises, King Rui said, ¡°Are you still short of money?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was kind and generous, with a distressed look on his face: ¡°Recently, the expenses are a bit high¡­¡±


    King Rui immediately said: ¡°I will tell the accountant to give you some later.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was moved: ¡°Then, thank you, wangye!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou used to work purely for King Rui. After all, King Rui is a prince, even if he has ¡®respect for the wise¡¯, he will not be too close to Lu Yanzhou.


    But now King Rui needs Lu Yanzhou to get close to the crown prince, and the crown prince is extraordinarily generous in his actions, even giving away notes written by Sir Wang Linyuan¡­In order to prevent Lu Yanzhou from joining the crown prince, King Rui¡¯s attitude towards Lu Yanzhou changed drastically, he was extremely generous in giving Lu Yanzhou money.


    When Lu Yanzhou met with King Rui, he didn¡¯t provide any useful information, but took away a lot of money.


    After returning to Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou gave the money to Lu Rong.


    Lu Rong asked, ¡°Where did the money come from?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°King Rui gave it to me. He asked me to approach the crown prince and wait for an opportunity, so he naturally had to give me money.¡±


    Lu Rong looked at the bank note in her hand and didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    Then, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Seventh sister, you take this money and use it to help the poor people. The crown prince likes simple and kind people, I want to perform the show well.¡±


    Lu Rong could only agree.


    As soon as Lu Rong agreed, Xie Chengze sent someone to deliver something. What he sent was a high-quality inkstone, ten high-quality brushes, and some exquisite food.


    Lu Yanzhou accepted the gift with a smile, then asked Chang Feng to take out a wooden box and give it to the other party as a gift in return.


    Then, when he returned to the room, Lu Yanzhou put away his smile and said to Lu Rong: ¡°Compared to King Rui, the crown prince is still more generous. This inkstone is very valuable, there is probably only one in the East Palace.¡±


    Lu Rong wanted revenge wholeheartedly, but seeing her younger brother like this, she always felt a little uncomfortable.


    However, she had to admit that her little brother was quite powerful.


    This¡­King Rui and the crown prince are giving her brother money!


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly said: ¡°By the way, seventh sister, it will take some time to deal with King Rui and the others, but the Han family¡­I can make them suffer for what they did years ago.¡±


    Hearing the word ¡®Han family¡¯, Lu Rong trembled. She suddenly raised her head to look at Lu Yanzhou.


    A cold light flashed in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes: ¡°Isn¡¯t it just for fame and fortune? Now I want them to fetch water from bamboo baskets.¡±


    The Han family that Lu Yanzhou mentioned was the family that was engaged to Lu Rong back then and later sold Lu Rong.


    Old master Lu saved the life of the Han family back then. At that time, it was a chaotic period. The Han family, who was barely regarded as a scholarly family, couldn¡¯t survive the troubled times, so they joined the Lu family.


    After the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the children of the Han family all had official positions, so they no longer relied on the Lu family. However, the Han family and the Lu family were still close at that time. Therefore, Lu Rong got engaged to the second young master of the Han family at a young age.


    Seventeen years ago, something happened to the Lu family. They didn¡¯t ask the Han family to intercede for the Lu family. They only asked the Han family to save Lu Rong. At that time, Lu Rong¡¯s father, who was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s second uncle, knew that the male would not be able to save, so they use all their money as Lu Rong¡¯s dowry and sent her to the Han family, hoping that the Han family would treat Lu Rong better.


    There is a saying that the guilty fall short of a married woman. In the previous dynasties, even if officials were sentenced to punish nine clans, it was only for men while the wives and daughters were just demoted to slaves.


    In fact, they don¡¯t dare to kill them all today. They mainly target the Lu family, actually, the men of the Lu family. At that time, the younger generation of the Lu family divorced their wives, so those women also got their lives saved when they returned to their natal families.


    Therefore, the Han family could definitely keep Lu Rong safe.


    Even if the Han family forced Lu Rong to become a nun, Lu Rong and Lu Yanzhou would not hate them, but in the end¡­they sold Lu Rong.


    And, they sell her to that kind of dirty place too!


    Of course, there were other reasons why Lu Yanzhou was so anxious to attack their family that he couldn¡¯t even wait until the new year.


    The Han family now belongs to the crown prince party, and the person in charge of the imperial examination happens to be the father of Lu Rong¡¯s ex-fiance!


    This person is very good at pleasing people but he is only average in learning. Back then, he became Wang Linyuan¡¯s student by sending money and things to Wang Linyuan, who had some difficulties in his family then.


    This Master Han is a villain through and through. He also has a fatal flaw, that is, he loves money.


    In addition, his life was so smooth these years that he seemed to be floating.


    Adding these two things together¡­This Master Han collected some money from Juren before the spring exam. Although he didn¡¯t reveal the exam questions, he also pointed out some directions.


    Some officials greeted him on behalf of their children, and he obliged.


    The original owner met Lu Rong before new year eve, before the start of the Spring Festival. At that time, Lu Rong¡¯s husband had just been torn to pieces by five horses, so Lu Rong¡¯s obsession with revenge was very deep.


    Seeing this, King Rui used Lu Rong and the original owner to deal with the Han family, intending to cut off the crown prince¡¯s arm.


    So, together with the original owner, Lu Rong incited people in the capital to make trouble after the spring exam, and spend money to ¡®human lives¡¯, so the people, who sold their lives, stop the crown prince¡¯s carriage to sue the Han family for robbing people¡¯s fields and forcing people to die. After suing, they were immediately run over.


    With such a multi-pronged approach, Xie Chengze naturally wanted to investigate the Han family, and then found out many problems.


    Let¡¯s not talk about the spring exam for now. The Han family used to work on a post outside, and they have done a lot of messy things. Not only have they neglected human lives, they have even embezzled disaster relief funds!


    It was also because of this that no one found out that the person who made the initial complaint was fake. Even the Han family themselves thought that someone among them had indeed done that.


    In short, after all the trouble, the Han family was gone.


    This incident has a great impact on the crown prince. This is the first time the crown prince presides over the spring exam, and he uses his people but it ended up like this¡­The crown prince¡¯s prestige in the court plummeted, and the people on King Rui¡¯s side have become more and more arrogant.


    People outside who don¡¯t know the truth think that the crown prince and the Han family were together, so they also think that the crown prince¡¯s virtue is just like that too.


    That Master Han is a rotten egg full of cracks. Sooner or later, there will be flies staring at him. Even without him and Lu Rong, King Rui would definitely do something if he found something wrong after the spring exam.


    As long as the task is set¡­Master Han won¡¯t be able to resist the investigation!


    Rather than letting King Rui do something after the spring exam, it¡¯s better to pull Master Han off his horse before the spring exam. Like this, the impact on the crown prince will be smaller.


    If the crown prince handles it properly, he can even earn a reputation as a wise and righteous person.


    Even if the crown prince didn¡¯t do anything¡­it¡¯s not a bad thing, at least he got rid of a moth around the crown prince.


    The crown prince is the orthodox one, as long as he doesn¡¯t make a big mistake, King Rui won¡¯t be able to do anything to him. In the original owner¡¯s memory, King Rui has done so many things, then finally got his wish to move into the East Palace after killing the crown prince.


    If Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have the original owner¡¯s memory, it would be difficult to find evidence against the Han family, but he has the original owner¡¯s memory.


    In the original owner¡¯s memory, all the things that the Han family has done have already been investigated and interrogated, including¡­the Lu family¡¯s incident seventeen years ago, those evidence was provided by the Han family.


    In order to show his loyalty to the current emperor, Master Han not only sold Lu Rong but also forged some evidence that the Lu family intended to rebel.


    Lu Rong said: ¡°The Han family is in full swing, it¡¯s not easy to deal with them.¡±


    ¡°Seventh sister, don¡¯t worry, I have a way to deal with them.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    When Lu Yanzhou was talking with Lu Rong, Xie Chengze had just received the gift from Lu Yanzhou.


    The sesame balls sent by Lu Yanzhou have not been finished yet, so what is it this time?


    Opening the wooden box, Xie Chengze saw a small bamboo toy. This is¡­a small roller that will roll when he presses it with his fingers?


    This thing is very interesting, but not exquisite. Lu Yanzhou gave it to him because it was made by Lu Yanzhou himself?


    Xie Chengze saw the word ¡®Lu¡¯ engraved on the roller and liked it even more.


    He played with it for a while, then put it away on his bedside.


    Although he knew that he should stay away from Lu Yanzhou, after thinking about it for a long time¡­ Xie Chengze still planned to go see Lu Yanzhou again in a few days.


    A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Chengze came to Jingning Temple again.


    Lu Yanzhou was very happy to see Xie Chengze, so he took Xie Chengze for a stroll around Jingning Temple and talked with him by the way.


    When the two were chatting, Lu Yanzhou tested him a bit. He pretended to unintentionally mention that some sinecure officials were corrupt and tend to accept bribes.


    Xie Chengze disliked such people most.


    ¡°If brother Cheng is an official, he must be a good one.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed.


    Xie Chengze also laughed: ¡°Jizhi will definitely become a good official.¡±


    ¡°Brother Cheng said so, I will definitely live up to Brother Cheng¡¯s expectations!¡± Lu Yanzhou assured, and then asked Xie Chengze: ¡°Brother Cheng, I am going to teach the children to read today, do you want to come with me?¡±


    When Lu Yanzhou has time recently, he will teach the children to read and write.


    Not only the children here can learn, but also the children in the village can come to learn. He even built a house as a classroom for this purpose.


    In order to ensure lighting, the windows in this classroom are very large, and the windows are not closed during class. They were as cold and dirty as they can get.


    They didn¡¯t have a complete set of desks and chairs, so they mostly used some stones and wood as stools, and sat in the classroom messily.


    The teaching environment was poor, but Xie Chengze still agreed, so he followed Lu Yanzhou into the classroom without any disgust.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s teachers were all great scholars. He was eager to learn back then, so he was able to sit on the stool for an hour when he was still not as tall as the dinner table.


    Seeing the children Lu Yanzhou teaching couldn¡¯t sit still on the stool as if there were thorns on the stool made him feel strange. He didn¡¯t know how to teach them, so he stood aside in a daze.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou was a little amused. He took a copper hand stove and handed it to Xie Chengze, so that Xie Chengze wouldn¡¯t be cold. After thinking about it, he asked Chang Feng to find a sheepskin cloak with a hat and put it on for Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze, who was like a banished immortal standing there before, when wrapped in this sheepskin cloak, he seemed a little down to earth in an instant, it was also really warm¡­


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t think it was enough, so he called again: ¡°Chang Feng, go and get another hand stove and some boiling water, and a small table too.¡±


    Chang Feng quickly brought the hand stove and a small table, then Lu Yanzhou moved a stool for Xie Chengze to sit on and put the hand stove in front of him, so that the heat could warm his legs.


    The small table was placed by Xie Chengze¡¯s hand. After setting everything up, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Brother Cheng, if you feel cold, drink some hot water.¡±


    Xie Chengze was dumbfounded by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s actions: ¡°I¡¯m not teaching children with you here, I¡¯m clearly watching you teach children while warming up.¡±


    ¡°I like when Brother Cheng looks at me.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Xie Chengze smiled at Lu Yanzhou, then quickly turned his head and made a gesture of drinking tea with both hands, as if he wanted to drink tea to relieve his embarrassment.


    However, he didn¡¯t have the teacup in his hand, instead he had the copper hand stove that Lu Yanzhou gave him.


    The copper hand stove was brought to his mouth¡­Xie Chengze froze but Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Afraid of Xie Chengze¡¯s embarrassment, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t laugh out loud, but quickly put away his smile and started to get down to business.


    While telling stories to these children, he taught them common words.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t forget Xie Chengze. He would talk to Xie Chengze from time to time, then asked Chang Feng to fry some pumpkin seeds for Xie Chengze to eat.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Sitting like this in front of the classroom, he looked like a landlord supervising the work of the long-term workers.


    It felt quite good?


    Xie Chengze felt very comfortable chatting with Lu Yanzhou, and watching Lu Yanzhou teach also made him feel happy.


    In the palace, he lived every day with great cautiousness. Only when he came to Jingning Temple could he relax.


    It¡¯s just that Lu Yanzhou occasionally does some intimate actions with him, which always makes his heart beat uncontrollably.


    This was an extremely novel experience, and while he felt it was inappropriate, he couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it.


    Just as he was distracted, Xie Chengze suddenly saw Lu Rong standing at the window with her child on her back. At this moment, Lu Rong¡¯s child was awake and was looking at him with wide eyes.


    He smiled at the other party, thought for a moment, then grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and walked over, handing them to Lu Rong: ¡°Sister-in-law Zhu, do you want some pumpkin seeds?¡±


    Lu Rong took the pumpkin seeds and whispered, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome,¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside, why don¡¯t sister-in-law Zhu take the child back to the house first.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou spoke highly of the Zhu family¡¯s wife, saying that she was very capable, so Xie Chengze also treated her differently.


    Of course, there was another reason for Xie Chengze to talk to her, that is, every time he saw Lu Rong walking around with the child on her back, he would be worried that the child would be frozen.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Rong responded and left with the child on her back.


    It wasn¡¯t until it was dark that Lu Yanzhou sent Xie Chengze away. When Xie Chengze left, he still didn¡¯t forget to give Xie Chengze another clay pot filled with sesame balls.


    When Xie Chengze¡¯s carriage disappeared, Lu Yanzhou reluctantly looked away.


    How wonderful the last world was. After he took Xie Chengze back from Xie¡¯s house, Xie Chengze stayed by his side and never left, but this world is different.


    There is a big gap between him and Xie Chengze¡¯s identities, and Xie Chengze is also very busy, so it takes several days for them to meet each other.


    After the spring exam and he passed the palace exam, he will become an official. He wondered if he could see Xie Chengze a few more times then.


    As for the relationship between the two of them¡­Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry.


    At this moment, there are many things between him and Xie Chengze, so he wants to wait for these things to be resolved before confessing his love to Xie Chengze.


    Of course, this does not conflict with his desire to get along with Xie Chengze.


    Thinking of what to do next, Lu Yanzhou restrained his emotions, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Lu Rong standing not far away.


    Ever since Lu Rong learned that Lu Yanzhou intended to seduce Xie Chengze, she felt very complicated. This time when Xie Chengze came over, she even observed carefully from the side.


    Lu Yanzhou was caring towards Xie Chengze, he was indeed deliberately seducing him, and judging from what she saw¡­Xie Chengze had already taken a fancy to Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze is the crown prince, if he hadn¡¯t taken a fancy to Lu Yanzhou, how could he be willing to stay in such a place for a day?


    Even the not-so-tasty food they cooked, Xie Chengze ate it up without any disgust.


    ¡°Seventh sister, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Lu Rong shook her head: ¡°Nothing.¡±


    ¡°By the way, Seventh Sister, is the money I gave you enough?¡±


    ¡°Enough, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Rong asked.


    Lu Yanzhou lifted the corner of his mouth: ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯m going to ask King Rui for money, I should be able to get a lot.¡±


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡±


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou did go to find King Rui.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t go to King Rui to ask for money, but to ¡®show merit¡¯ to King Rui: ¡°My lord, I have been with the crown prince recently and I learned that the crown prince plans to promote Master Han after the spring exam next year. The crown prince even asked Master Han to contact many candidates and wanted to train them as his own people.¡±


    ¡°Is this really true?¡± King Rui asked hastily.


    ¡°It¡¯s definitely true, the crown prince has been talking to me a lot.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Because of his heart disease, Xie Chengze never cared much about power, so he would not try his best to attract courtiers like King Rui.


    As for those juren, he will not send people to contact them! That Master Han came into contact with those Juren purely to make money for himself.


    However, King Rui always felt that Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance of not caring about anything was just an act, so he believed it when Lu Yanzhou said it.


    After he believed it, he became a little anxious ¨C how many people can Xie Chengze recruit after one imperial examination!


    Many of these juren were from officials, if they became the crown prince¡¯s people, their families would naturally side with the crown prince too.


    The point is, the crown prince doesn¡¯t need to spend even a copper coin to do this!


    What about him? In fact, he also had contact with some Juren, but although those Juren were friends with him, they would not work for him. However, if the crown prince talked to them, they would definitely side with him.


    Who made the crown prince the right one? At present, most of the affairs in the imperial court are handled by the crown prince.


    King Rui was going crazy with jealousy: ¡°What should I do?¡±


    ¡°Wangye, I met someone before. He said that he has a handle on Master Han. If we can pull Master Han off the horse at this juncture, and then make things worse¡­Wouldn¡¯t wangye be the one to preside over the spring examination then.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    He told Lu Rong that he wanted to avenge Lu Rong and get rid of the Han family, but he didn¡¯t have this ability himself, so he could only borrow another person¡¯s knife to kill.


    As for who to borrow this knife from¡­Naturally, it is from King Rui.


    ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± King Rui immediately asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°He¡¯s a traveling merchant from Gun Prefecture. It is said that when Master Han was an official in Gun Prefecture, he embezzled the money for disaster relief.¡±


    ¡°Does that person really have evidence?¡± King Rui asked again.


    ¡°There should be, it just, he wants money.¡±


    King Rui stood up, walked back and forth eagerly, then finally said: ¡°Money is not a problem, you must get the evidence!¡±


    After finishing speaking, King Rui felt heartache: ¡°Get as much money as you want from the accountant!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, wangye! It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have much property in my family, so I can¡¯t share wangye worries¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou looked guilty.


    Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, King Rui remembered how generous Lu Yanzhou had been before.


    At that time, he only needed to ask Lu Yanzhou to do things without having to pay him! Lu Yanzhou has always done it by himself!


    Thinking how Lu Yanzhou had given him a lot of money before, King Rui didn¡¯t feel so sorry for the money at this time: ¡°How can I keep using Jizhi¡¯s money? Jizhi, don¡¯t worry. Although it¡¯s a difficult time for us now, wait for the future¡­this king will definitely give you a thousand acres of fertile land!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked excited: ¡°Thank you, wangye!¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou returned to Jingning Temple, he gave Lu Rong the money he got from King Rui again.


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡± Her brother really got money from King Rui!


    This is a scam for money and sex¡­


    But this is what the dog emperor asked for! If the dog emperor hadn¡¯t harmed the Lu family¡­As the ninth young master of the Lu family, why would her brother need to do this?


    Lu Yanzhou knew that Lu Rong would feel a little complicated.


    He let Lu Rong continue to struggle and began to sort out all the crimes Master Han had committed according to the original owner¡¯s memory.


    He was very busy for the past few days, so he never sorted it out.


    Lu Yanzhou actually didn¡¯t have any concrete evidence, but after he wrote down all the things that the Han family had committed, how could King Rui not find the evidence easily.


    He believed that King Rui wouldn¡¯t let him down.


    As for Xie Chengze, he can remind Xie Chengze in advance so that Xie Chengze won¡¯t worry about this matter.


    In addition¡­What he gave Xie Chengze before was not a toy, it was his improved waterwheel.


    In order to avoid being found out by the heavenly dao, he had to be careful. However, waterwheels appeared on earth in this period, so it didn¡¯t matter if he took it out.


    When Xie Chengze promotes it, it will be a good thing for the country and the people.

 CH 85

    Lu Yanzhou deliberately hid his handwriting, and wrote all the crimes committed by that Master Han, and the rest of the Han family, in a blank book.


    It took him a day to sort it out, and then he deliberately made it seem a little old, then handed it to King Rui and said with an apologetic face: ¡°Wangye, I wanted to catch the wandering merchant, but he seemed to have taken precautions and had already escaped.¡±


    King Rui immediately comforted Lu Yanzhou: ¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡±


    ¡°I miscalculated,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I have seen the so-called evidence. Although the records are detailed, there is no evidence. I don¡¯t know if it is true or not.¡±


    King Rui had already flipped through the booklet, so he immediately said: ¡°The records on it are extremely detailed, most of them must be true. I¡¯m afraid that that traveling merchant is not simple, perhaps, he may have an old grudge with Lord Han, so he wants to borrow my hand to deal with Lord Han!¡±


    ¡°Wangye, should we still deal with Lord Han?¡±


    ¡°Yes, of course!¡± King Rui said, ¡°I found someone to watch that old thief Han, and I have found that he has been wooing those Juren. I can¡¯t let him do whatever he wants.¡±


    In the original historical trajectory, when King Rui saw Lord Han contacting the Juren, he wanted to accuse him of favoritism and fraud to ruined the spring exam, but now under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s guidance, King Rui changed his mind and set his mind on pulling Lord Han off the horse so that he could make his own person the chief examiner of the spring exam.


    Although there is no real evidence now, the crimes committed by the many officials in the Han family written in this booklet should be true. As long as these are true, he can completely destroy the Han family and deal a blow to the crown prince party.


    Things that are sure to make a profit without losing money must be done!


    King Rui thought so, so he encouraged Lu Yanzhou, and then let Lu Yanzhou leave.


    Of course, the money was not given this time. King Rui is poor!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t expect to get money from King Rui every time either, so after handing over the matter of dealing with the Han family to King Rui, he returned to Jingning Temple.


    It has entered the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather is getting colder. There are fewer students who are willing to listen to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s class.


    However, Lu Yanzhou still taught them as usual, but because there were fewer people, he found a few tables for them to use, took paper and brush, and asked them to write on the paper.


    In the winter, their hands are frozen, but they still have to write¡­This is actually quite bitter, so there are even fewer people who can persevere.


    However, Lu Yanzhou believed that these few who persevered would surely be promising in the future.


    A few days later, Xie Chengze came again.


    Xie Chengze used to come to Jingning Temple once or twice a month, but now he comes every few days, which can be called frequent.


    It was too cold, Lu Yanzhou was afraid that he would freeze, so instead of taking him out to relax, he brought him to his room to drink tea and chat.


    While chatting, Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°Brother Cheng, what do you normally do everyday?¡±


    Xie Chengze hesitated, then finally said: ¡°I usually just study and help my father manage the family affairs. Because there are a lot of things, I can¡¯t always come here.¡±


    Xie Chengze thought about explaining his identity to Lu Yanzhou, but in the end he didn¡¯t.


    He is the current crown prince, if Lu Yanzhou knew his identity, his attitude towards him would definitely change drastically. He didn¡¯t want that to happen.


    After a lot of thinking, Xie Chengze felt that he should wait for Lu Yanzhou to pass the Jinshi examination before he would reveal his identity to Lu Yanzhou.


    Like this, he still has three months to get along with Lu Yanzhou as an ordinary person.


    As for the future¡­It¡¯s impossible for him to be with Lu Yanzhou, so he just needs to do his crown prince responsibility well and pave a way for Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze believed that Lu Yanzhou would definitely pass the Jinshi examination. He also believed that Lu Yanzhou would become a good official.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Brother Cheng, you don¡¯t look very well, you must take care of your health too. If there are too many things to do, you can leave some of them to others.¡±


    Xie Chengze smiles: ¡°I will.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what he could do before, so he dealt with government affairs from dawn to dusk every day, but recently he was always thinking about Lu Yanzhou¡­


    No need for Lu Yanzhou to say more, Xie Chengze has already decided to leave some affairs to others, so he can spare time to spend more time with Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing that Xie Chengze agreed, Lu Yanzhou was very happy, and continued: ¡°It¡¯s already noon, brother Cheng, are you hungry? Shall I make noodles for you?¡±


    ¡°Jizhi, you can cook?¡± Xie Chengze was a little surprised.


    ¡°Mm, I do. My skills are average, but the things I make can be eaten,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°The sesame balls I gave you before were made by me.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little surprised to learn that those sesame balls were actually made by Lu Yanzhou himself. Lu Yanzhou had already got up at this moment and was about to make noodles for Xie Chengze.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze hurriedly followed, and then he saw Lu Yanzhou skillfully kneading and cutting the noodles in the kitchen. He was also using various side dishes to make the bowl of noodles smell, look, and taste great.


    When Xie Chengze came to see Lu Yanzhou, he also brought some food for Lu Yanzhou, now adding the noodles made by Lu Yanzhou, their lunch was very rich.


    Xie Chengze took a bite and couldn¡¯t help but praise: ¡°Jizhi, your culinary skills are really good.¡±


    ¡°Brother Cheng, do you like it? If you like it, I will make it for you every day in the future.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart moved, but he quickly restrained his emotions: ¡°The one who can eat the meals made by Brother Lu every day is Brother Lu¡¯s wife and children, right?¡±


    When Xie Chengze mentioned ¡®wife and children¡¯, he was in a bad mood.


    He knew that Lu Yanzhou was not married yet, but it was not surprising. For someone like Lu Yanzhou, who was able to pass the exam at a young age and whose family was not rich, it would be good for him to delay his marriage.


    Now if Lu Yanzhou wanted to get married, he could only choose the daughter of a minor official, but if he passed the Jinshi exam, he would become the golden son-in-law in the hearts of civil and military officials in the imperial court.


    It¡¯s true that Lu Yanzhou has never been married at the moment, but when he is admitted to Jinshi, marriage will definitely be put on the agenda immediately, and after that, he will have children and have a happy family.


    Lu Yanzhou liked children very much, he was very kind to Zhu¡¯s wife¡¯s son. He will definitely be able to teach his children well.


    Xie Chengze deliberately mentioned this, it also reminded him to stop thinking about it.


    But Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I just want to make it for Brother Cheng.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s hands trembled, he suddenly looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou was looking at him with a smile, so he didn¡¯t know if he was joking or telling the truth.


    If this is the truth, then what exactly is Lu Yanzhou thinking toward him?


    Is it possible that Lu Yanzhou also likes him?


    Xie Chengze was distracted for a moment, then he just concentrated on eating noodles.


    When Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were eating noodles, Xie Chengze¡¯s two guards, Lu Rong, and Chang Feng were also having lunch beside them. Of course, what they ate were not the noodles Lu Yanzhou made.


    At this moment, Xie Chengze¡¯s two guards and Chang Feng didn¡¯t think much about it, they just buried their heads in to eat, but Lu Rong was different. Lu Rong, who had a panoramic view of the interaction between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, didn¡¯t know what to say at the moment.


    Her younger brother¡­how the flower girls in the place where she lived before seduced people, and how he seduced him is the same. Their method was very simple.


    But the crown prince still eats this set! As expected, the crown prince is too naive. How delicious is the noodle soup made by a big man like her younger brother? The crown prince even took it as a treasure and even drank the soup.


    The room fell silent when suddenly a knock came from the door.


    Chang Feng went to open the door and came back, ¡°Someone is looking for Master Cheng.¡±


    Someone came to see Xie Chengze? Xie Chengze¡¯s guards went out immediately. When they came back, they said, ¡°Young master, there seems to be something at home.¡±


    Xie Chengze knew that if someone came to see him, there must be something urgent, so he bid farewell to Lu Yanzhou immediately.


    When he went outside and got in the carriage, seeing Lu Yanzhou standing there watching him leave, the suspicion that Xie Chengze had raised not long ago surged up again.


    Is Lu Yanzhou¡­also interested in him?


    As far as he knew, Lu Yanzhou had been in the capital for two years. Although Lu Yanzhou also went out to make friends and attend gatherings in the past two years, he didn¡¯t get too close to them, and he also lived in the city.


    However, ever since they met in Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou moved to live in Jingning Temple and started donating money and goods to help the common people.


    Does this have something to do with him?


    If Lu Yanzhou also likes men¡­Xie Chengze still has confidence in himself. His looks are not bad and he is knowledgeable, if Lu Yanzhou likes him, it¡¯s not surprising at all.


    Thinking that Lu Yanzhou might like him, Xie Chengze¡¯s face, which had been blown a little cold by the wind because he lifted the curtain to look behind him, warmed up inexplicably.


    But he quickly put the matter aside and asked the person who came to him: ¡°What is so urgent that you came to get me?¡±


    The one who came to look for Xie Chengze was the old eunuch next to Xie Chengze. The old eunuch sighed and said, ¡°Your highness, the empress wants to see you.¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned.


    His mother cared for him very much and demanded a lot, but she was not close to him.


    They generally only meet on fixed days, and when they meet, they only talk dryly.


    It¡¯s rare for her to want to see him suddenly like this. Did something happen?


    Before the current empress entered the palace, she was once hailed as the most talented woman in the capital. She was very talented and sought after by others.


    However, after she entered the palace, she became a sparrow with broken wings, she was never happy again.


    For her son Xie Chengze¡­She wanted to get close to him, but she didn¡¯t know how to get close, so the relationship between mother and child was very awkward.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s carriage entered the palace unimpeded and stopped at the gate of the Empress¡¯s Palace.


    He got out of the carriage, entered the chamber, and saw his mother waiting anxiously.


    Seeing Xie Chengze, the empress, who is nearly forty years old but has been well maintained and has little hardship on her face, was a little unhappy: ¡°Why did it take you so long to come?¡±


    ¡°Something came up.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°You always have a lot of things¡­Your cousin, your cousin entered the palace today and said that King Rui¡¯s people are investigating his father-in-law recently. King Rui has bad intentions. You must solve this matter!¡± the empress said.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin that the empress talked about was the daughter of Xie Chengze¡¯s uncle. She was five years older than Xie Chengze and married to Han Shengchang¡¯s son.


    Han Shengchang is one of Master Wang Linyuan¡¯s students, but he could barely be said to be Xie Chengze¡¯s senior brother. Han Shengchang will be the one to preside over the spring exam in the upcoming year.


    King Rui was investigating Han Shengchang recently, Xie Chengze had also heard about it, but he didn¡¯t expect that Han Shengchang would seek his mother¡¯s.


    What does this mean? This shows that there is something wrong with Han Shengchang, he is afraid of being investigated!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face changed slightly when he thought of this.


    In fact, he didn¡¯t like Lord Han didn¡¯t very much when he first met him, but he believed in his teacher¡¯s vision and felt that since his teacher accepted Han Shengchang as a student, Han Shengchang should be a good person, so he still uses him.


    Now it seems¡­this Lord Han should be unclean.


    Otherwise, why is he so anxious over just a little rumor?


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Empress mother, as long as Lord Han has not made any mistakes, there is no need to be afraid that King Rui will investigate him.¡±


    The empress said: ¡°You can¡¯t say that. There are few civil and military officials in the imperial court who dare to say that they are clean. Han Shengchang may have made a small mistake. Moreover, King Rui is insidious, he may even frame him!¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°If it¡¯s just a small mistake, why didn¡¯t Lord Han come to me?¡±


    If Han Shengchang only made a small mistake and was worried about being framed by King Rui, he could definitely come to him. He wouldn¡¯t be unable to protect his subordinates.


    Now that Han Shengchang did this, he must have a guilty conscience.


    ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s your cousin¡¯s father-in-law! He¡¯s the one doing things for you, you can¡¯t treat him badly,¡± the empress said.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say anything.


    The empress continued: ¡°Crown prince, empress mother knows that you will be able to save him¡­¡±


    ¡°Empress mother, I will not show favoritism.¡±


    Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance, the empress suddenly broke out: ¡°What do you mean? You won¡¯t take my words seriously anymore?¡±


    ¡°Empress mother¡­¡± Xie Chengze sighed.


    The empress couldn¡¯t help crying: ¡°I¡¯m so miserable¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what to say.


    He knew why his mother cried. It was his health that made his mother cry.


    He suffers from a heart condition and won¡¯t live long. Because of this, his mother had cried countless times and was always terrified.


    Probably because of this, his mother was very kind to her natal family. She hoped that her natal family would support her in the future, but she was always hot and cold towards him.


    However, his uncle¡¯s family is also very worrisome, they also caused many things, which always exhausted him physically and mentally.


    After crying for a while, the empress said: ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this for now, your marriage¡­¡±


    ¡°Empress mother, have you forgotten about my condition?¡± Xie Chengze reminded her. The imperial physician said that if he is in good health, he can live for a few more years, but if he indulges in female charm¡­not to mention that he may not be able to leave offspring, it may also hinder his life span.


    Of course, the imperial physician would say this, he also suggested it. He did not want to marry and have children.


    The empress¡¯s face changed and she closed her mouth.


    Seeing his mother like this, Xie Chengze felt a little helpless.


    His heart condition was not so serious in the first place, but his mother has always placed high demands on him, forcing him to surpass King Rui.


    When King Rui was still playing around, he had to study every day, and he also had to learn a lot too. After a long time, his condition became serious.


    His mother also felt guilty, so she didn¡¯t dare to force him anymore.


    Xie Chengze bid farewell to his mother and left, then he returned to the East Palace.


    When he came to his bedroom and saw the toy that Lu Yanzhou gave him by the bedside, Xie Chengze felt better, and took out another sesame ball to eat.


    This was done by Lu Yanzhou himself.


    So¡­Does Lu Yanzhou really like him? Otherwise, since he is single, why would he cook for him with his own hand?


    Xie Chengze thought a lot, then finally forced himself to stop thinking about it and fell asleep early.


    If he went to bed late, his heart would be very uncomfortable. When he was sick before, it was difficult to lie down and fall asleep, so he could only sit.


    The next day there was a court meeting, Xie Chengze got up early and went to attend.


    This participation¡­he finally knew why Han Shengchang was in such a hurry and begged his mother.


    Many people from King Rui¡¯s side impeached Han Shengchang, and they also mentioned many crimes. The sum of all the crimes is too much to describe.


    Xie Chengze had guessed something last night, but now seeing Han Shengchang kneeling on the ground and shouting injustice, his expression was ugly.


    King Rui has been targeting him all the time, and usually uses many means, which makes him displeased, but the evidence that King Rui presented this time cannot be fabricated casually.


    Without hesitation, Xie Chengze ordered Han Shengchang to be imprisoned, then sent officials known for their impartiality to interrogate him.


    After all, Han Shengchang is one of his people, and the Han family was also married to his uncle¡¯s family. In the next few days, Xie Chengze was devastated.


    He had to deal with the crying complaints from his mother and cousin, and also deal with a series of other problems caused by the Han family. For example, when something like this happened, the one overlooking the spring exam needed to be replaced.


    In addition, the end of the year is approaching, and there are still many things¡­Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t even have time to meet Lu Yanzhou.


    Fortunately, in a few days, the courtiers will be on break, so he can rest for a few days then.


    Xie Chengze was thinking about this, while sorting out the memorials in his hands. He took the important ones and went to find his father.


    Don¡¯t look at the fact that the current emperor is addicted to alchemy all day long, he is not confused.


    In fact, he is a very shrewd person. For example, before he indulged in alchemy, he first wiped out his younger brother, the Lu family, and other people who might threaten his throne. He does what he wants and he has Xie Chengze¡¯s help in the past few years, so he doesn¡¯t go to court all day long.


    Xie Chengze waited for a long time before his father came out to meet him.


    His father looked very young like his empress mother. Although his appearance was ordinary, his skin was fair. When he saw Xie Chengze, he said, ¡°Since you¡¯re here¡­Let some blood out before you leave.¡±


    Xie Chengze turned pale.


    Some messy books say that human blood can cure all diseases.


    His father was addicted to alchemy and sometimes even used his blood.


    Xie Chengze remained silent, letting the alchemist beside his father, who he didn¡¯t know where he came from, to take his blood.


    At this time, the emperor had already flipped through the memorials, and said with a sneer, ¡°You are really a gentleman, you don¡¯t even show favoritism to your subordinates at all.¡±


    Xie Chengze knew that his father was talking about Han Shengchang.


    The result of Han Shengchang¡¯s case wouldn¡¯t be out even if they investigate for years, but he arranged for someone who wouldn¡¯t be biased to take charge. If Han Shengchang really committed a crime, he would definitely be punished.


    ¡°Your brother came to me and wanted to preside over the spring exam. Do you think I should agree?¡± the emperor suddenly asked.


    The emperor often met Xie Chengze with an impatient look, it was rare for him to talk a lot today.


    Xie Chengze answered: ¡°It¡¯s up to emperor father to make the decision.¡±


    ¡°Then leave it to him,¡± said the emperor.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t pay much attention to this, instead he remembered that Lu Yanzhou had persuaded him to leave the affairs in his hands to others.


    If the matter of the spring exam is not under his control, he will have a lot of free time to go to Lu Yanzhou.


    It¡¯s just that in this way, Lu Yanzhou will take part in the imperial examination under King Rui¡¯s hand, he just doesn¡¯t know if there will be any accidents.


    Maybe he should stay away from Lu Yanzhou, so that King Rui won¡¯t harm Lu Yanzhou because of him.


    Thinking about it again, this might be a good thing for Lu Yanzhou.


    If Lu Yanzhou is marked as a ¡®crown prince¡¯s party¡¯, he will be gone in the future, so it will be difficult for Lu Yanzhou, who has no foundation, to get along in the imperial court. However, if Lu Yanzhou becomes a member of King Rui¡¯s side, his road ahead will be much easier.


    Xie Chengze remained silent, then the emperor suddenly smiled: ¡°How long can your body last?¡±


    Xie Chengze suddenly raised his head and looked at his father.


    The emperor said: ¡°Back then, the empress and imperial consort were pregnant at the same time, but I doted on the imperial consort more. Your mother took medicine to allow you to be born early¡­you suffered from a heart condition because you stayed in the womb for too short a time.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little surprised before, but now he didn¡¯t respond, which made the emperor a little bored: ¡°You already knew?¡±


    Xie Chengze had indeed guessed long ago that his mother had always been like this. One on hand, she felt guilty toward him, but on the other hand, she wanted him to become a qualified crown prince.


    ¡°How boring,¡± said the emperor.


    It was not until the emperor left that Xie Chengze packed his things and left too.


    He always knew that his emperor father didn¡¯t like him very much, but he didn¡¯t expect that his emperor father also knew about his heart condition.


    Then his emperor father asked him to supervise the country, and asked him to do many things¡­for what?


    Wish he died sooner?


    For a moment, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how to react.


    However, in fact, he had expected this a long time ago. It was because he knew that he had no parental fate with them that he had no obsession with ¡®living¡¯.


    He tried his best to be a crown prince before because everyone around him needed him to be the crown prince.


    But now he wants to live well, after all, he has a loved one.


    Xie Chengze desperately wanted to meet Lu Yanzhou.


    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t go after all¡­He just got his blood drain, and his heartbeat was abnormally fast. If he traveled a long distance at this time, he would easily get sick.


    He might not be able to see Lu Yanzhou in a few years, he didn¡¯t want to appear weak when he met Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze returned to the East Palace, found a chair to sit and rest.


    When his heart is uncomfortable, it¡¯s more comfortable to sit than to lie down.


    Seeing him like this, the old eunuch beside him felt very distressed and circled around him, but there was nothing he could do.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Don¡¯t spin around, I¡¯m dizzy¡­I remember some venison was sent today? I can¡¯t eat it, so you take half of it to Jingning Temple and share the rest.¡±


    ¡°Your highness, there is no one like you who delivers meat to the temple every day.¡±


    Xie Chengze laughed: ¡°Lu Juren likes to eat meat, and the young monks in the temple also like to eat meat.¡±


    The old eunuch was a little speechless: ¡°What a crime!¡± Why do the little monks also like to eat meat?


    Even though he said this, the old eunuch still followed Xie Chengze¡¯s instructions and sent someone to deliver the meat.


    However, not long after, the old eunuch came back again: ¡°Your Highness, Lord Zhou is here to look for you.¡±


    Xie Chengze immediately said: ¡°Let him in quickly.¡±


    Lord Zhou mentioned by the old eunuch is Xie Chengze¡¯s companion, and also Xie Chengze¡¯s confidant and aide. His full name is Zhou Xueya.


    ¡°Your Highness!¡± Zhou Xueya came in from the outside. Seeing that Xie Chengze¡¯s expression was not very good-looking, he immediately asked, ¡°Are you feeling unwell again?¡±


    Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze had a heart condition, he only knew that Xie Chengze was not in good health.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been tired from too many things recently,¡± Xie Chengze smiled, ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°I have something urgent that I have to report¡­Your Highness, Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Xie Chengze was stunned.


    Zhou Xueya continued: ¡°Your highness, I found out that Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family, that is¡­the Lu family from seventeen years ago.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s expression changed.


    At that time, his emperor father used the excuse that his uncle was plotting rebellion to kill many people, including the whole Lu family.


    At that time, the Lu family¡¯s army was still at the border, and his emperor father acted quickly. The Lu family was imprisoned for three days before they were all executed, making it too late for those who wanted to plead for the Lu family.


    However, he knew very well that not to mention that the Lu family did not intend to rebel, even his uncle did not intend to rebel, at most he was somewhat dissatisfied with his father.


    If Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family¡­then he and Lu Yanzhou have a deadly feud!


    If Lu Yanzhou knew his identity, what would he think of him?


    Zhou Xueya said again at this time: ¡°Your highness, didn¡¯t you ask me to find the lost little daughter of the Lu family before? I accidentally found her in the brothel, so I lured an old official that once received Lu¡¯s grace to help redeem herself. A few days ago, I wanted to see Lu Yanzhou, whom you had always thought about, and I saw her next to Lu Yanzhou¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Is it¡­The Zhu¡¯s Wife?¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Yes. I thought it was just a coincidence, but after careful investigation, I found that after Lu Yanzhou came to the capital two years ago, he got close to King Rui, and has been helping King Rui for two years¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze was worried about his feud with Lu Yanzhou, but when he heard this, he was stunned: ¡°King Rui?¡±


    ¡°Your Highness, didn¡¯t we put someone next to King Rui? I asked them, though they are not clear about King Rui¡¯s affair, but they knew that King Rui had arranged for someone to approach you. I heard that it was a success too. This time, the evidence about Han Shengchang¡¯s crimes given to King Rui was from this person under King Rui who approached you too¡­There¡¯s only Lu Yanzhou, a new person, by your side recently.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little breathless.


    ¡°Your Highness, Lu Rong was betrothed to Han Shengchang¡¯s son back then, but then she suddenly disappeared and was reduced to stay in a brothel, which involved Han Shengchang¡­This time Han Shengchang was in trouble, it should be Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong¡¯s intentional revenge.¡±


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just Lu Rong¡­¡±


    ¡°Your highness, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s surname is Lu, and he is very close to Lu Rong. Today, together with Lu Rong, he secretly went to see the two daughters of the Lu family who live in the nunnery.¡±


    Xie Chengze was at a loss, thinking that Zhou Xueya might have made a mistake.


    How could Lu Yanzhou approach him on purpose?


    Probably due to his heart condition, he is very sensitive to other people¡¯s emotions, so he can feel whether the people around him are sincere to him or not.


    The first time he met Lu Yanzhou, it was fine since the two didn¡¯t have a deep conversation, but after the next few meetings, they talked a lot, but he couldn¡¯t even sense any ulterior motive from Lu Yanzhou.


    Wait, that¡¯s not necessarily the case.


    He likes Lu Yanzhou, his feelings¡­may also be wrong?


    These days, when he saw Lu Yanzhou, he really seemed to have lost his mind.

 CH 86

    Xie Chengze has not lived comfortably these years.


    He wants to hide his illness, he wants to surpass King Rui in every aspect, and he has to learn how to deal with government affairs¡­


    His father doesn¡¯t care about his children at all, his mother is talented but her ability to write poems and prose won¡¯t make her life better in the harem.


    If his mother was really a smart person, a suspicious person like his father would not let her enter the palace.


    He was able to secure his position as the monarch, not by others, but by himself.


    When he was young, he heard his mother say that he would rely on him in the future, he also saw that his mother had a difficult time in the harem, so he worked hard to cultivate cronies and strengthen himself.


    Zhou Xueya is one of the cronies he cultivated.


    As for the matter of looking for Miss Lu¡¯s back then¡­At that time, he had just formed his own team, and wanted to train the people under him, so he chose such a thing for them to do.


    Later, Zhou Xueya led people to find that Miss Lu. He knew that the other party had left the brothel, so he let go of the matter.


    He also did it for the good of that Miss Lu. If he paid too much attention to it, he may expose this Miss Lu and cause her troubles instead.


    However¡­Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect the Zhu¡¯s wife, whom he had met several times, was actually Miss Lu.


    He also didn¡¯t even expect that the person he liked was actually a Lu family member.


    Closing his eyes, Xie Chengze only felt nausea in his heart. His heartbeat was even faster than normal.


    It took him a long time to recover, then he asked Zhou Xueya to explain the situation in detail.


    Zhou Xueya glanced at Xie Chengze worriedly, and spoke from beginning to end.


    Xie Chengze has been supervising the country for the past few years, and he has done a very good job too. In addition, people outside don¡¯t know that he has a heart condition¡­


    The officials in the imperial court wished that the current emperor would be gone earlier, so that Xie Chengze would be enthroned.


    Living under Xie Chengze¡¯s hands is much more comfortable than living under the suspicious current emperor!


    Also because of this, Xie Chengze¡¯s power is far greater than King Rui. However, he is not as high-profile as King Rui.


    He is the crown prince, he doesn¡¯t need to deal with this and that.


    The power under Xie Chengze was divided among several people, and Zhou Xueya was one of them. Previously, Xie Chengze also sent someone to investigate Lu Yanzhou, it was Zhou Xueya who went to investigate.


    At that time, it was only a simple search, but later Xie Chengze always went to find Lu Yanzhou, so Zhou Xueya thought that his highness wanted to take Lu Yanzhou under his command, so he went to check him out himself, wanting to investigate.


    Then he recognized Lu Rong.


    After recognizing Lu Rong, he immediately contacted his subordinates in the capital, and started following Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong.


    Back then, in order to find Lu Rong, Zhou Xueya purposely got acquainted with some people of all levels of education. These people could do anything. Because Zhou Xueya was willing to give money and arrange errands for them or their children, they were all willing to do things for Zhou Xueya.


    During this time, when Lu Yanzhou was buying grain, the leader of the porters, who brought the grain to him, was Zhou Xueya.


    In the village next to Jingning Temple, the idler who always comes to listen to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s lectures recently is one of Zhou Xueya¡¯s people.


    It was still Zhou Xueya¡¯s people who came to sell the fish they caught.


    Even the old monks who came to Jingning Temple to place orders were Zhou Xueya¡¯s people.


    These people didn¡¯t know that they were working for the crown prince, they only knew that there was a big man on the top who asked them to observe Lu Yanzhou. They didn¡¯t do it deliberately too, so Lu Yanzhou naturally didn¡¯t notice.


    Zhou Xueya followed him like this, so he naturally found out that Lu Yanzhou went to meet King Rui secretly.


    In the past few years, King Rui went around and made friends with many people. Among them, Zhou Xueya¡¯s people was also there, so Zhou Xueya also learned some things from those people.


    As for today¡­After Zhou Xueya recognized Lu Rong, he arranged for people to watch near the nunnery where the two Lu family¡¯s daughters became nuns. Sure enough, his people saw Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong, who had disguised themselves, sneak in.


    As soon as this happened, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity was confirmed, so Zhou Xueya immediately came to report to Xie Chengze.


    According to Zhou Xueya¡¯s thinking, whether Lu Yanzhou approached King Rui or Xie Chengze, it should be to avenge the Lu family.


    Although if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, but when he thinks about it on behalf of the Lu family, it¡¯s impossible not to hate the current emperor.


    That being the case¡­he felt that it was best for Xie Chengze not to associate with Lu Yanzhou again.


    As for murdering Lu Yanzhou, he sympathized with the Lu family in his heart, so he naturally hoped that Xie Chengze would not do so.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak for a long time.


    Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t dare to speak too, so he just stood quietly, waiting for Xie Chengze¡¯s answer.


    It¡¯s not that Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t want to talk, it¡¯s just that his heart is really uncomfortable and he can¡¯t talk.


    If Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t taken the medicine before Zhou Xueya came, he might faint now.


    When he finally got better, Xie Chengze said, ¡°Did Lu Rong¡¯s disappearance have something to do with Han Shengchang?¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Yes, Han Shengchang sold Lu Rong to a brothel because he was afraid that Lu Rong would harm the Han family.¡±


    ¡°You knew about this a long time ago?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t speak.


    Seeing Zhou Xueya like this, Xie Chengze knew that he must have known about it a long time ago: ¡°You knew about it when you were looking for Lu Rong, why didn¡¯t you tell me then?¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your highness, I thought you knew.¡±


    Han Shengchang is one of Xie Chengze¡¯s people. Han Shengchang¡¯s son married Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin after Lu Rong disappeared.


    Zhou Xueya thought that Xie Chengze knew about this a long time ago.


    However, he didn¡¯t know that at this moment Xie Chengze¡¯s heart was aching. He couldn¡¯t help but begin to recall the few meetings he had with Lu Rong.


    Lu Rong¡­always looked at him quietly.


    Lu Rong and Lu Yanzhou can find so much evidence of the Han family, so they must know about Han Shengchang¡¯s son marrying his cousin. Did they think¡­what Han Shengchang did has something to do with him?


    Lu Yanzhou knew that he was the crown prince. In Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart, what kind of person is he, the crown prince?


    Thinking that Lu Yanzhou might always regard him as an enemy, Xie Chengze felt like a knife was twisting his heart.


    However, the matter has come to this point, there¡¯s nothing he could do.


    Xie Chengze suffers from a heart condition, he knew that his life was not long. For this reason, although King Rui always made trouble for him, he tolerated him.


    He knew very well that it was probably his younger brother who sat on the throne in the end.


    For this reason, he has been helping his subordinates arrange some retreats for them, and even thought about making arrangements for Lu Yanzhou.


    But¡­Lu Yanzhou may not need it.


    What Lu Yanzhou wanted might be his life.


    Although his mother relied on him, she was also dissatisfied and annoyed with him because of his near death condition, and of course she felt guilty about it too.


    His father has always been suspicious. He allowed him to supervise the country and gave him so much power, not because he valued him, but because he felt that he would not live long and was nothing to be afraid of.


    It¡¯s rare for him to like someone, and that person has a grudge against him too.


    Xie Chengze thought a lot in an instant.


    He also knew that in the current situation, it was best for him to stay away from Lu Yanzhou.


    Otherwise, with his poor health, it would be too easy if Lu Yanzhou wanted him to die.


    But, since he is going to die anyway, can¡¯t he live according to his own will now?


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Xueya, you don¡¯t need to worry, Lu Yanzhou won¡¯t do anything to me.¡±


    ¡°Your highness?¡± Zhou Xueya was a little worried.


    Xie Chengze smiles: ¡°You still don¡¯t believe me?¡±


    Hearing what Xie Chengze said, Zhou Xueya was really relieved.


    From Zhou Xueya¡¯s point of view, Xie Chengze is very wise and close to a monster. If he wants to subdue Lu Yanzhou, isn¡¯t that something easily done?


    Xie Chengze continued at this moment: ¡°Compared to Lu Yanzhou, my good emperor father is still the greater threat to me.¡±


    When Xie Chengze said this, Zhou Xueya was shocked.


    The court ministers secretly complained about the current emperor, and he also had a lot of complaints toward the current emperor, but the crown prince never talked about the current emperor in front of people before, what happened today?


    Xie Chengze rolled up his sleeves and showed Zhou Xueya the wound from letting out his blood on his arm: ¡°Why is my health so poor? Isn¡¯t it because my emperor father often drains my blood.¡±


    ¡°Drain blood? Why?¡±


    ¡°Alchemy.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Zhou Xueya was shocked.


    Xie Chengze rolled down his sleeves and said, ¡°There are some things you should know¡­My emperor father got a lot of people into the palace, and a lot of corpses were also carried out.¡±


    Zhou Xueya did know, but he didn¡¯t dare to question the person on the dragon chair, so he could only pretend that he didn¡¯t know.


    However, he never thought that the crown prince would also be one of the victims.


    ¡°Emperor father has always been suspicious. He handed over the court to me with confidence because he knew that my life won¡¯t be long.¡±


    ¡°Your highness!¡±


    Xie Chengze smiled wryly: ¡°Why do you think I didn¡¯t let you conflict with King Rui before? In my father¡¯s heart, King Rui is probably the heir he wants.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say that he had a heart condition, but what he said was indeed real.


    His younger brother is easier to control than him, so his father naturally likes his younger brother more.


    And he said this to Zhou Xueya in the hope that¡­even if something happens to him in the future, Zhou Xueya will not hold grudges against Lu Yanzhou.


    From Lu Yanzhou¡¯s point of view, it¡¯s normal for Lu Yanzhou to want to kill him if his whole family was killed and exiled.


    He didn¡¯t mind dying at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hands.


    However, if there was such a day, his subordinates would definitely seek revenge against Lu Yanzhou. At that time, Lu Yanzhou might not be able to stop them¡­He wants to help Lu Yanzhou eliminate this hidden danger in advance.


    Xie Chengze felt that he was a bit cheap, but he could only lament that humans are fate playthings.


    If he and Lu Yanzhou had no grievances or enmities¡­


    Forget it, even if they have no grievances or enmities, they won¡¯t last long anyway.


    Now in the present¡­He has taken good care of Lu Yanzhou recently. When Lu Yanzhou kills him, will he feel guilty for him and remember him forever?


    ¡°How can the emperor do this! Your highness¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°My body is weak, I don¡¯t know how long I can last. I will help you prepare for retreat. As for Lu Yanzhou, you don¡¯t need to worry about him. Although he is talented, he is indecisive and can¡¯t do anything big. If he really were to do something, he would just be used by others.¡±


    Of course, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t think so in his heart. In fact, he felt that Lu Yanzhou was very scheming and not simple.


    However, he didn¡¯t want Zhou Xueya and Lu Yanzhou to face each other.


    Zhou Xueya trusted Xie Chengze very much. Hearing what Xie Chengze said, he immediately believed it.


    After believing him, he started thinking again. Since Lu Yanzhou taught a group of children to read every day in the cold weather, and he also wasn¡¯t even angry when those children ran away, he felt that Xie Chengze was right.


    This Lu¡¯s orphan has a very kind heart.


    Xie Chengze said something to Zhou Xueya to dispel Zhou Xueya¡¯s hostility towards Lu Yanzhou, and then dismissed Zhou Xueya.


    When Zhou Xueya left, he asked the people around him to wash him up ¨C he wanted to rest.


    It¡¯s just that his heart is not feeling well, so he might not be able to lie down to sleep tonight. He will have to sit up to sleep.


    When Xie Chengze was sitting and sleeping, on the other side, Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong had just returned to Jingning Temple.


    They went to meet their two cousins.


    These two cousins have been staying in the nunnery, eating vegetarian food and reciting buddha¡¯s script every day, as if they no longer care about the world.


    However, that¡¯s just the appearance.


    Their parents were killed, they were divorced, their children were affected because of their identities, and now the children¡¯s marriages are hindered¡­


    These two young ladies of the Lu family hated the current emperor as much as Lu Rong.


    It¡¯s just that they have children, so hate is just hate since they have some ties. They don¡¯t want to cause trouble for their children, so they have to restrain themselves and stay in the nunnery all the time, not daring to go out.


    When the original owner came to see them before, he didn¡¯t talk much at that time and left after giving them money, but this time it was different. Lu Yanzhou stayed for a while longer, and Lu Rong also had a good chat with them.


    Of course, they didn¡¯t hide all kinds of things that Lu Yanzhou did, but what they knew was the version that Lu Yanzhou told Lu Rong.


    Thus, there were two more people struggling with the fact that Lu Yanzhou cheated money and sex.


    Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong were very careful along the way, fortunately no one followed them.


    However, when he returned to Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou could feel that people around him were looking at him¡ªhis sense had always been keen.


    Lu Yanzhou was not surprised by this.


    King Rui will definitely send someone to watch him.


    For these people staring at him, they only knew what Lu Yanzhou was doing during daytime, so he just let them be.


    They didn¡¯t do anything bad either.


    It¡¯s just that seeing King Rui was so cautious, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help sighing ¡ª Xie Chengze was too simple, too gentlemanly.


    If Xie Chengze was more cautious like King Rui, and checked the original owner more, on the original historical track, he wouldn¡¯t be harmed by the original owner like that.


    After returning to Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou took Lu Rong back to his room first.


    After returning to the house, the first thing Lu Yanzhou did was to heat the kang for himself. It was too cold in his room, if he didn¡¯t heat it up, he would not be able to sleep at night.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou skillfully burning the kang, Lu Rong sighed: ¡°Little nine, it¡¯s fortunate that you found me, otherwise I would have been frozen this winter.¡±


    Houses in the capital are expensive and prices are high. The little money Lu Rong earns is only enough to rent a house and meet her daily expenses.


    Firewood is expensive in winter, and the firewood she bought at home isn¡¯t enough for cooking, so naturally she can¡¯t use it extravagantly for heating.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Seventh sister, don¡¯t worry, the days to come will get better and better.¡±


    Lu Rong said: ¡°I just hope that we can be safe and sound.¡± Previously, she risked her life to get revenge. Recently, she probably had too many good times, so she began to worry about how her brother would get away after the incident.


    It would be a pity if he died for revenge.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    He has confidence in Xie Chengze. If something really happens¡­he¡¯ll just ask Xie Chengze for help.


    After the fire started, the room became much warmer. Seeing this, Lu Rong put down the child on her back, changed the sheet under him, and let him lie down on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s kang.


    This child is very well-behaved and doesn¡¯t cry during the day¡­Of course, at this time, children from poor families don¡¯t cry very much, mainly because crying is useless.


    ¡°Han Shengchang is in prison, I¡¯m so happy,¡± Lu Rong suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that our Lu family¡¯s money won¡¯t come back.¡±


    At that time, her father knew that her brother would not be able to escape, so he gave her all the property in the family and some things he had kept privately. Among them, her father specially prepared some ancient calligraphy and painting books he collected for her because she was going to marry into the scholarly Han family.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°We will be richer in the future.¡±


    Lu Rong glanced at Lu Yanzhou, and suddenly said, ¡°The crown prince is not bad.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not bad, but it¡¯s a pity that good people always suffer.¡± Lu Yanzhou showed a little disgust, but he was in a good mood.


    Lu Rong¡¯s views on Xie Chengze are changing.


    Of course, Xie Chengze did a good job in the matter of the Han family. He wasn¡¯t biased at all.


    Lu Rong chatted with Lu Yanzhou for a while before leaving. When Lu Rong left, Lu Yanzhou was lying on the bed, missing Xie Chengze a little.


    Probably because he was busy with the Han family¡¯s affairs, Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t come to see him for several days.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was thinking about Xie Chengze, didn¡¯t expect that¡­Xie Chengze came the next day.


    As the end of the year approaches, there are many things that the emperor needs to do in person, so the emperor goes back to court.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze made a false claim that he was unwell and stayed in the East Palace to rest.


    In the end¡­he really wanted to see Lu Yanzhou.


    In the past, Xie Chengze might have endured it, so as not to bring trouble to Lu Yanzhou, but now his health is really bad. He doesn¡¯t know how long he can live¡­It¡¯s better to go and see him.


    Xie Chengze did whatever he wanted. He found someone to prepare a spacious and comfortable carriage, spread a thick quilt on it, and headed towards Jingning Temple.


    Xie Chengze came late, was unwell, and came slowly, so it was past noon when he arrived at Jingning Temple.


    ¡°Brother Cheng!¡± Lu Yanzhou saw Xie Chengze¡¯s carriage from a distance and walked over quickly, smiling at Xie Chengze.


    However, the smile on his face quickly disappeared. Lu Yanzhou looked worriedly at Xie Chengze, who had a bad complexion: ¡°Brother Cheng, are you feeling unwell?¡±


    ¡°I was tired a few days ago and didn¡¯t feel well.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Xie Chengze, isn¡¯t he just sick! When Lu Yanzhou saw Xie Chengze like this, he knew that Xie Chengze was probably ill.


    In the original trajectory, Xie Chengze fell ill and died half a year later due to the original owner¡¯s repeated stimulation. Therefore, Lu Yanzhou always felt that he still had a lot of time.


    However, seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance at this moment, he suddenly realized that even if he had a lot of time, he didn¡¯t want Xie Chengze to suffer more.


    The speed of earning merit must be accelerated.


    ¡°Go to my room and rest for a while.¡± Lu Yanzhou said immediately.


    Xie Chengze met Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes and smiled: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but admire Lu Yanzhou. This man was able to face him, an enemy, without showing anything wrong.


    However, this is not surprising.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s family was ruined when he was five years old, he was soon hunted down afterwards. It wasn¡¯t known how hard those years have been. Now he was just greeting his enemies with a smile on his face, what the matter with that?


    Lu Yanzhou has been with King Rui for two years, and it¡¯s said that King Rui also trusts him very much.


    Although his younger brother is not smart, he is as suspicious as his father. It¡¯s not easy for Lu Yanzhou to gain his trust.


    When Xie Chengze entered Lu Yanzhou¡¯s room, he saw Lu Yanzhou spread out the quilt on the kang in two or three layers, then beckoning him to lie down.


    Xie Chengze never refused.


    When Lu Yanzhou approached him, he must have had something to ask for, and since that was the case, it didn¡¯t matter if he received some attention from Lu Yanzhou.


    Maybe one day, Lu Yanzhou will swing his saber at him.


    Lu Yanzhou prepared the house and gave Chang Feng some commands before asking Xie Chengze, ¡°What have you been up to lately?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°A servant has done some bad things outside and needs to be dealt with.¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. Brother Cheng, it¡¯s fine to leave these things to others, you¡¯d better rest more.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze deliberately mentioned Han Shengchang, not expecting that Lu Yanzhou would have no reaction, but instead advised him to rest more.


    It was as if he genuinely cared about him.


    However, he soon realized that Lu Yanzhou previously tried to insinuate him to rest, and then Han Shengchang had an accident, he didn¡¯t need to worry about the spring exam now¡­


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I will rest.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Brother Cheng, what do you think of the water wheel I gave you earlier?¡±


    ¡°Water Wheel?¡± Xie Chengze was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the bamboo product that Lu Yanzhou gave him before, which he put in his bedroom as a toy, was actually a waterwheel.


    ¡°Brother Cheng didn¡¯t recognize it? It¡¯s an improved water wheel. Although this waterwheel can¡¯t be used everywhere, if it is promoted, there are always some places that can benefit. I gave it to Brother Cheng because I want to ask brother Cheng to help dedicate it to noble people, so that it can benefit the common people too.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Although the job of presiding over the spring exam was snatched away by King Rui, Xie Chengze was ruthless and dealt with Han Shengchang decisively. If he promoted the waterwheel, he would definitely gain a good reputation.


    He can also get merit.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect that it turned out to be a water wheel, and Lu Yanzhou gave it to him, wouldn¡¯t it be equivalent to¡­giving him a piece of credit for nothing?


    Xie Chengze was a little puzzled, so he asked.


    ¡°Brother Cheng and I hit it off right away, we don¡¯t need to be so distant, my credit is your credit.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze has been observing Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou spoke very sincerely. If he didn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, he would definitely feel that Lu Yanzhou was showing his affection to him as before, and his heart may beat like a drum because of it.


    However, Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family.


    He should hate him and he still tries to get close to him. Why give him credit now?


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t figure it out and Lu Yanzhou had already taken out another water wheel at this time: ¡°I made another water wheel these days, you can take it back together and promote it together.¡±


    Different terrains are suitable for different waterwheels, so there are multiple styles and multiple choices.


    The waterwheel was very delicate, Lu Yanzhou must have spent a lot of effort. Xie Chengze looked at the waterwheel, his mind wandered again.


    Even though Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family, one can tell from his recent behavior that he is kind-hearted.


    Such a person might not take his anger out on him, nor did he want to seek revenge from him.


    Maybe he and Lu Yanzhou can have¡­a gentleman¡¯s friendship is as insipid as water1Real relationship is like water, clear and with no suspicions.


    He was just thinking about that when Chang Feng came in from the door carrying a bowl of porridge.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Brother Cheng, I asked Chang Feng to cook some medicinal food for warming up, you can drink some.¡±


    Xie Chengze nodded with a smile, but when he smelled the medicinal food, his heart sank.


    He has been ill for a long time and has become like a doctor, so he can tell at a glance that this medicinal food is good for his illness and good for his body.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­knows that he has a heart condition? How did Lu Yanzhou know? Does King Rui know?


    King Rui should not know, otherwise something will be revealed. As for why Lu Yanzhou would know¡­Lu Yanzhou is extremely intelligent. He may already have doubts about his body when he started reading medical books before.


    Xie Chengze filled a bowl of porridge and drank it slowly, knowing why Lu Yanzhou handed over the water wheel to him.


    Lu Yanzhou definitely hated the imperial family, but he had a heart condition, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry to deal with him.


    If he was Lu Yanzhou, he must also think that King Rui is the greater enemy. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say it, but he may have wanted to use him first to deal with King Rui.


    Xie Chengze was thinking about this when he saw Lu Yanzhou bring him some snacks, and said: ¡°The medicinal food is not good, Brother Cheng can use these to suppress it.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart seemed to be thrown into a frying pan. He enjoyed what Lu Yanzhou did, but he also became more and more uncomfortable.

 CH 87

    Taking a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth, Xie Chengze told himself not to think about things that would make him unhappy.


    Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family, and he came to him to avenge the Lu family. However, since he was going to die, he didn¡¯t need to care about this. He just has to pretend not to know.


    Besides¡­In order to gain his trust, Lu Yanzhou should be obedient to him. He should enjoy this.


    After thinking about it, Xie Chengze leaned on the kang, half-closed his eyes, then he unconsciously fell asleep.


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was asleep, Lu Yanzhou gently moved his body, trying to make him sleep more comfortably.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s two guards followed Xie Chengze into the house and stood not far away. They knew that their crown prince trusted Lu Yanzhou very much, so they didn¡¯t stop him.


    Lu Yanzhou took this opportunity to secretly check Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse.


    He has only studied traditional medicine for a short time, so he can¡¯t judge Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition just by taking his pulse, but combined with Xie Chengze¡¯s expression and the original owner¡¯s memory, he know a lot of things.


    Xie Chengze is not only suffering from his heart condition now, he is also anemic.


    As for why Xie Chengze was anemic, the first thing that Lu Yanzhou thought of was the emperor who was obsessed with pursuing longevity.


    King Rui asked the original owner to poison the current emperor to death because the current emperor made King Rui bloodletting.


    Because of this, the original owner had the opportunity to poison the current emperor to death.


    It¡¯s just that King Rui got bloodletting, it happened later, Xie Chengze¡­was he bloodletting at this time?


    Even if he doesn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze has a heart condition, it¡¯s well known that the crown prince is weak, but he still has his blood drain today!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s current pulse is very weak. Lu Yanzhou felt distressed by just checking his pulse.


    After Xie Chengze lay down, Lu Yanzhou wrote a note and gave it to Chang Feng to let Chang Feng prepare the food.


    What he asked Chang Feng to prepare was food that could replenish blood.


    After finishing his job, Lu Yanzhou returned to the house and accompanied Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how long he slept. He only knew that when he woke up, Lu Yanzhou was sitting beside him, reading a book.


    On the contrary, his two guards were not there, they should have gone elsewhere¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s room is not big, so it¡¯s not a problem if they are all crowded in it.


    Seeing that he was awake, Lu Yanzhou smiled and asked, ¡°Brother Cheng, are you awake?¡±


    ¡°Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°You should take a nap when you¡¯re tired,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Brother Cheng, your body is the most important thing.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, and saw that the other party¡¯s gaze was full of concern.


    He knew it was fake, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that he had seen through everything.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I will.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°You drank porridge before going to bed, do you want to go to the latrine?¡±


    After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou picked up the chamber pot and handed it to Xie Chengze. Now that it¡¯s cold, he doesn¡¯t want to go to the latrine outside, so he prepares a chamber pot in the room.


    As for why he handed it to Xie Chengze so skillfully¡­In the second life, he was used to helping Xie Chengze go to the toilet.


    Xie Chengze was stunned.


    As a prince, he had many people serving him, so there was no shortage of people who would bring him a chamber pot, but Lu Yanzhou would bring him¡­he really didn¡¯t expect it.


    If it were before, Xie Chengze would have blushed, but now he wants to test Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡­¡± Even though he said so, when he stretched out his hand, he seemed very weak and painful.


    ¡°What happened to your arm?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just got hurt.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Let me hold it for you.¡± Lu Yanzhou immediately thought of Xie Chengze¡¯s possible bloodletting.


    Xie Chengze hesitated for a moment: ¡°Then I will trouble you¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re unwell, it¡¯s nothing.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in disbelief.


    In order to get revenge, to get close to him, Lu Yanzhou can even do such a thing?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking. After helping Xie Chengze relieve himself, he said: ¡°Brother Cheng, it¡¯s snowing outside, why don¡¯t you stay here today?¡±


    If it were before, Lu Yanzhou would not mention such a request. The crown prince staying outside is quite troublesome.


    However, Xie Chengze was very weak today, he couldn¡¯t bear Xie Chengze to go back in the snow.


    Heart problems cannot be ignored, what if Xie Chengze gets sick along the way?


    If it were in modern times, Xie Chengze would already be hospitalized with his current situation!


    If it were before, Xie Chengze would not agree to such a request. He being too close to Lu Yanzhou might make Lu Yanzhou become an easy target for King Rui¡­


    Then, at this moment, Xie Chengze said: ¡°Okay, I just have to trouble Jizhi again.¡±


    After Xie Chengze agreed, Lu Yanzhou was overjoyed: ¡°I¡¯ll let someone prepare the food.¡±


    ¡°Just prepare whatever you want,¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled and didn¡¯t answer. He had already asked Chang Feng to prepare the blood-enriching food, now he only needs to give instructions and someone will do it.


    When he came outside, Lu Yanzhou ordered Chang Feng to cook, then told Xie Chengze¡¯s guards about Xie Chengze¡¯s stay today.


    These two guards of Xie Chengze knew that Xie Chengze got bloodletting by the current emperor, and also knew that Xie Chengze had a heart condition, however, they didn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family because they were not around when Zhou Xueya reported to Xie Chengze before.


    This also caused them to trust Lu Yanzhou a lot.


    Before Xie Chengze fell asleep, Lu Yanzhou said that he would take care of him, so they went to the next room to rest.


    Seeing that it was getting late, they should actually remind Xie Chengze to go back but thinking of Xie Chengze¡¯s body, they decided to ignore it.


    Now that Xie Chengze is going to stay here, the two are even more happy. They only asked, ¡°Where should our young master stay? Where should we live?¡±


    ¡°There aren¡¯t many houses here, are you two okay with squeezing in Chang Feng¡¯s room?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°As for Brother Cheng, he will sleep with me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was worried about Xie Chengze sleeping alone, so he wanted to watch over him.


    The kangs in the room are quite big, so it¡¯s not really a big deal for 3 or 4 people to sleep on it. The two guards answer: ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll trouble young master Lu then!¡±


    ¡°No trouble.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled at them, then said that he wanted to take care of Xie Chengze and went back to his house.


    Seeing this, the two guards went to talk to Chang Feng, then asked Lu Rong who was leading someone to cook next to him, ¡°Zhu jianiang, what are we having for dinner tonight?¡±


    Lu Rong said: ¡°We¡¯re having pork stewed vermicelli.¡± In winter, it¡¯s delicious, nice and warm to just cook it in a pot.


    Of course only they ate this, what the crown prince ate was different. Her younger brother asked someone to get some blood-enriching food, and wrote a recipe for them to make it for the crown prince.


    Duck blood vermicelli soup¡­Will the crown prince eat it?


    Of course, the point is not this, the point is¡­Isn¡¯t the crown prince trusting his brother too much? He surprisingly prepared to stay here!


    And the crown prince¡¯s two guards, why do they only think about food? They actually left their master¡¯s side, thinking about what to have for dinner here!


    Are they not afraid that their crown prince will be killed by her brother?


    Well, her younger brother doesn¡¯t want to kill the prince now, instead he wants to protect the crown prince, lest no one deal with King Rui.


    Lu Rong made the food for the crow prince with her own hands, then couldn¡¯t help but complain while eating, thinking that the crown prince was too naive.


    At this time, Zhou Xueya came to Jingning Temple despite the wind and snow.


    After he told the crown prince about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity, the crown prince didn¡¯t take it seriously but he couldn¡¯t help worrying that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong would be angry and attack the crown prince.


    Therefore, when he learned that the crown prince had come to Jingning Temple, he rushed over in a hurry.


    After Zhou Xueya came, he was taken to the largest room here, which was also the main room for cooking and eating.


    The room was steaming and very warm because of the cooking. Zhou Xueya shook off the snow on his body, and saw the crown prince¡¯s two guards eating pork vermicelli stew.


    These two people are eating while talking to Chang Feng: ¡°Eating this kind of hot food in winter is still the best, it¡¯s delicious, hot, and comfortable to eat! Those small plates of food will get cold before reaching, it won¡¯t taste as good.¡±


    ¡°Yes! But this pork vermicelli stew is nothing unusual. My young master had someone build a stove yesterday, it¡¯s said that the stove under the charcoal fire can be used to boil, and then with the soup base with large bones, you put the meat slices of cabbage or something into the boil soup, let it cook then eat it, that is the best!¡± Chang Feng said what Lu Yanzhou had said before to the two guards.


    There are two people beside Lu Yanzhou, one is Lu Tao and the other is Chang Feng.


    Lu Tao is from the Lu family, and he knows Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity very well. Lu Yanzhou is afraid that he will show some trace, so he doesn¡¯t let him show up in front of Xie Chengze.


    However, Chang Feng was the servant Lu Yanzhou found in Jiangnan and he didn¡¯t know Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity, so he called Xie Chengze¡¯s guard brothers.


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± Where is his crown prince? Why didn¡¯t these two guards stay by the crown prince¡¯s side, instead they mixed with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s servants?


    Furthermore, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s little servant boy also smiled so happily at the two guards and put the meat slices into the guards¡¯ bowls.


    ¡°Young master Zhou.¡± The two guards greeted Zhou Xueya with a smile.


    ¡°Crown¡­It¡¯s too cold today¡­Where¡¯s your young master?¡± Zhou Xueya asked.


    ¡°Our young master is in Young Master Lu¡¯s room.¡± The two guards said.


    These two actually let his highness to stay with Lu Yanzhou¡­Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t know what to say.


    At this time, Lu Rong had already finished the dishes. There were too many dishes, she was worried that she couldn¡¯t finish them, so she said immediately: ¡°Are you here to find young master Cheng? I¡¯ll take you to him, you can help me get something.¡±


    Zhou Xueya froze when he saw Lu Rong.


    For this young lady from the Lu family, he felt both guilty and defensive.


    However, Miss Lu, who he was guarded against, handed him a food box and a bag of things for him to carry, then she took a tray and walked outside.


    Seeing this, Zhou Xueya hurriedly followed.


    When the two came to a hut, Lu Rong called out, then Lu Yanzhou came to open the door.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou, Lu Rong said, ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver the food. By the way, this young master zhou is here to find young master Cheng.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou let the two of them enter the house, then quickly closed the door and went to see Zhou Xueya.


    Lu Yanzhou knew Zhou Xueya. The original owner had this person in his memory.


    This person is Xie Chengze¡¯s companion. His relationship with Xie Chengze has always been very good, but in the original historical trajectory, after Xie Chengze dealt with Han Shengchang, this person had a big fight with Xie Chengze, and after that, Xie Chengze arranged for him to stay away from the capital.


    At that time, many people around Xie Chengze left Xie Chengze, that¡¯s why the original owner could kill Xie Chengze.


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s death was mainly the original owner¡¯s fault, Lu Yanzhou felt that it was also wrong for Zhou Xueya and the others to part ways with Xie Chengze because of Han Shengchang.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t show anything. He took the food and put it on the table, then asked Zhou Xueya if she had eaten, then asked Zhou Xueya to stay and eat together.


    Zhou Xueya wanted to stay and observe Lu Yanzhou, so he immediately agreed: ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet, I¡¯ll trouble brother Lu.¡±


    ¡°No trouble, no trouble, you are Brother Cheng¡¯s friend so you¡¯re also mine.¡± After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he asked Lu Rong to stay for dinner.


    This will also allow Lu Rong to develop a relationship with Xie Chengze.


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou treated Lu Rong very affectionately, Xie Chengze felt that he was blinded by his love for Lu Yanzhou before.


    Lu Yanzhou took in many people, but he only treated Lu Rong differently, why didn¡¯t he notice something was wrong?


    Of course, Lu Rong is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cousin, so it¡¯s normal for Lu Yanzhou to behave like this.


    The food is placed on the table, so they can¡¯t sit on the kang to eat. Xie Chengze got up and was about to get off the kang when Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, ¡°Brother Cheng, you don¡¯t need to get down, you can just sit on the kang, I will move the table to the side of the kang.¡±


    Sitting on the kang is so warm, Xie Chengze can¡¯t be allowed to come down to eat.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou saw that Xie Chengze was only wearing thin socks, and Xie Chengze¡¯s shoes were not warm at all.


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly found a pair of new cotton boots, and said to Xie Chengze: ¡°Brother Cheng, your shoes are not warm enough, you should wear these cotton boots. Don¡¯t worry, I haven¡¯t worn these shoes yet.¡±


    As he said that, Lu Yanzhou had already started to help Xie Chengze get dressed.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t stop him, and let Lu Yanzhou put on his shoes. After he put on his shoes, Lu Yanzhou also found the sheepskin cloak that Xie Chengze had worn before and covered his legs.


    Xie Chengze felt very warm.


    Zhou Xueya saw it and felt very warm.


    He was cold all the way and he also came here on horseback, but no one asked him if he was cold, however, someone wrapped the crown prince, who had been sitting on the kang in his house, tightly.


    After finishing all this, Lu Yanzhou moved the table to the side of the kang to make it easier for Xie Chengze to eat.


    ¡°Brother Cheng, I think you have a bad complexion and lack of energy and blood, so I asked someone to make this duck blood vermicelli soup, which can replenish blood.¡± Lu Yanzhou took a bowl of vermicelli soup for Xie Chengze as a staple food, ¡°You should also eat some of the other dishes. You must take good care of your body.¡±


    Zhou Xueya was worried before that there might be some poison in these dishes, but when he entered the room, he saw Lu Yanzhou being so attentive to Xie Chengze¡­


    There should be no poison in the dish?


    After all, Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong will also eat.


    Xie Chengze had already started to eat at this time. Zhou Xueya couldn¡¯t help but sigh ¨C the crown prince is worthy of being the crown prince, he can eat the food given by his enemy so calmly!


    ¡°Brother Zhou, this place is simple, and there are not many things that can be entertained.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhou Xueya again at this time.


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°It¡¯s already very good. Before I came, I thought I would have to eat vegetarian dishes here.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°Brother Zhou thinks too much.¡±


    After talking to Zhou Xueya, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care about Zhou Xueya, and his mind was on Xie Chengze.


    He was either picking up food for Xie Chengze or asking about Xie Chengze¡¯s taste, he didn¡¯t have a moment to spare.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t refuse and ate with a smile.


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡± Her brother is really flexible! He can do this and that, no wonder King Rui felt that he was sincere to King Rui, and the crown prince was also seduced by his younger brother.


    It doesn¡¯t matter regarding King Rui, but the crown prince¡­


    Lu Rong, who already knew from Lu Yanzhou that Xie Chengze was bloodletted to make alchemy, felt a little sympathetic to Xie Chengze at the moment.


    This crown prince is too naive, too easy to bully!


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± His highness¡¯ methods are really not simple! This Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, he had an enmity with his highness but he was subdued by his highness, and took such good care of his highness!


    Do they still remember the hatred of their family being wiped out?


    Zhou Xueya felt that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong were a little too kind.


    Alas, back then the old man of the Lu family gave up the country to the late emperor, and now Lu Yanzhou is like this¡­The Lu family is too easy to bully!


    When Zhou Xueya was eating with Lu Rong, he looked at Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze from time to time.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze only cared about eating by themselves. When Xie Chengze was full, Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°Brother Cheng, I have learned a little bit of massage, do you want to try it?¡±


    Lu Rong and Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± They don¡¯t think they should stay here.


    Zhou Xueya and Lu Rong, who felt that they didn¡¯t fit in with the atmosphere here, quickly ate up the rest of the food, cleaned up the table and left.


    There was one more person¡­Lu Rong asked Chang Feng to squeeze in with the others, then asked the two guards to live in Chang Feng¡¯s room with Zhou Xueya.


    Zhou Xueya hadn¡¯t lived in such a dilapidated house for a long time, but since the bedding was all new, he could get used to it.


    He felt that he still knew too little about Lu Yanzhou, so he asked Xie Chengze¡¯s two guards, hoping to learn something from them.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s two guards did not hide anything and told what they knew about Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou took in the elderly and children, the two admired Lu Yanzhou very much. They always felt that Lu Yanzhou was very kind to Xie Chengze: ¡°Young master Lu really treats his highness as a friend, and his highness also likes him. By the way, today he also gave his highness a waterwheel.¡±


    The two guards talk in detail about how Lu Yanzhou delivered the water wheel twice.


    There is such a thing?


    What on earth was Lu Yanzhou thinking. After researching the waterwheel, he actually dedicated it to the prince?


    Is he really serving the people wholeheartedly regardless of past grudges?


    While Zhou Xueya couldn¡¯t figure it out, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze had went to sleep.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect that Lu Yanzhou would sleep with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was nothing.


    Anyway, he was looking forward to it.


    Lying on the side of the kang, probably because he slept too much during the day, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t sleep.


    Hearing the breathing around him slowly becoming steady, Xie Chengze turned his head to look at Lu Yanzhou. Looking at him¡­he leaned closer to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou woke up when he noticed movement around him, and asked in a daze, ¡°Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?¡±


    As he spoke, he reached out to the water cup beside the bed¡ªit¡¯s easy to get thirsty when sleeping on the kang, and he was also a little thirsty.


    Xie Chengze just watched as Lu Yanzhou brought the water glass to his mouth¡­He was indeed a little thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou poured himself another cup and drank it down, then said to Xie Chengze, ¡°Let¡¯s continue to sleep.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze just lay down with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou soon fell asleep again, but Xie Chengze still couldn¡¯t fall asleep.


    The night was so dark that he couldn¡¯t see Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face clearly, but he could hear Lu Yanzhou¡¯s breathing.


    After hesitating for a moment, Xie Chengze stretched out his hand and touched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    As a result, as soon as his hand touched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face, Lu Yanzhou woke up again, of course he was still a little dazed: ¡°Are you going to relieve yourself?¡±


    Before Xie Chengze could speak, Lu Yanzhou picked up the chamber pot from the ground.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    After using the chamber pot, Xie Chengze lay down again. He didn¡¯t know what happened, he fell asleep quickly this time.


    When Lu Yanzhou woke up the next day, Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t woken up yet.


    Xie Chengze used to put some rouge on his lips to cover up his pale lip color, but yesterday Xie Chengze ate a lot and washed his face before going to bed, so the rouge was gone long ago.


    Because of this, he was lying there with a pale face at this moment, looking extremely fragile.


    Lu Yanzhou touched Xie Chengze¡¯s cheek with his hand, then got off the bed lightly, and added some firewood to prevent Xie Chengze from getting cold.


    After finishing all this, Lu Yanzhou quietly left.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze opened his eyes.


    When Lu Yanzhou touched him, he woke up, but he didn¡¯t want to open his eyes. Now that Lu Yanzhou is gone¡­Xie Chengze rubbed the center of his brows with his hands.


    Lu Yanzhou was really kind to him. If there was no enmity between them and Lu Yanzhou really loved him, that would be great.


    However, that¡¯s impossible.


    With the big enmity between him and Lu Yanzhou and they have only met a few times, how could Lu Yanzhou really love him as he showed?


    Xie Chengze lay down for a while, then he heard the door open.


    He looked towards the door expectantly, but instead of seeing Lu Yanzhou, he saw Zhou Xueya.


    Zhou Xueya closed the door, came to Xie Chengze¡¯s side, and said in a low voice: ¡°Your highness, you and that Lu Yanzhou¡­Is Lu Yanzhou trustworthy?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lu Yanzhou has a deep affection for me, he will not hurt me.¡±


    What?! Zhou Xueya looked at Xie Chengze in shock.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°He likes me, can¡¯t you tell?¡± If what he understands is not wrong, this is exactly what Lu Yanzhou acts like.


    Since Lu Yanzhou acted like this¡­he will just tell people like this.


    Zhou Xueya thought about it carefully, it really seemed like this, but Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were both men¡­


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°You don¡¯t have to observe him anymore, he likes me and is reluctant to hurt me.¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Zhou Xueya is in a trance now, so Lu Yanzhou¡­likes his highness, he doesn¡¯t want to take revenge anymore?


    He felt something was wrong, but Lu Yanzhou did act like that, and most importantly, his highness would not lie to him.


    Still confused, Zhou Xueya saw Lu Yanzhou come back with a basin of hot water, greeted him, then Lu Yanzhou even started to wash his crown prince¡¯s face and hands.


    Only the old eunuch beside the crown prince can be so meticulous.


    Zhou Xueya began to believe the crown prince¡¯s words.


    After taking care of Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°It snowed all night yesterday and the roads are frozen. Do you want to stay with me for a few days?¡±


    Xie Chengze agreed straight away: ¡°Okay.¡± His work is almost done, so it¡¯s okay to leave for a few days.


    As for his father¡¯s side¡­His father knew about his physical condition, he just said that he was recuperating outside the city.


    Xie Chengze decided to stay for a few more days. Lu Yanzhou was very happy when he heard this.


    He went out with the wash water and poured it out. By the way, he asked Lu Rong to buy chickens and ducks. If there were pigs and sheep, she could also buy them.


    There are so many people here, they can finish it all!


    After speaking, Lu Yanzhou gave Lu Rong another pile of bank notes.


    These bank notes were given to Lu Yanzhou after Han Shengchang¡¯s incident, and King Rui got the job of presiding over the spring exam. However, Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t had time to give it to Lu Rong.


    The amount of bank notes is not small, so Lu Yanzhou said again: ¡°By the way, you can go to the city again and buy some medicinal materials. Brother Cheng needs to take good care of his body¡­¡±


    Zhou Xueya who saw this scene: ¡°¡­¡±


    He knew which bank King Rui¡¯s money was stored in, so he specifically inquired about it. He also knew that King Rui had given Lu Yanzhou a lot of money recently.


    Then Lu Yanzhou used it to take in the poor people.


    Well, it¡¯s also used to support the crown prince too.


    King Rui has always been poor, if he knew about this, he wondered if he would be pissed to death.


    T/N: I found that Zhu jianiang sound a lot better than Zhu¡¯s wife or whatever so imma just leave it as Zhu jianiang from now.

 CH 88

    Medicine is also 30% poison, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t buy many medicinal materials.


    He felt that taking care of Xie Chengze¡¯s body still depended on food.


    So at noon, Lu Yanzhou invited a butcher to kill the pigs.


    In winter, there was no farm work and there was no other work available, so the people around Jingning Temple wandered around all day long. Seeing that Lu Yanzhou and the others were going to kill pigs, these people came to watch the fun.


    Lu Yanzhou bought land and built a house here, the nearby villagers also benefited a lot.


    Other than that, Lu Yanzhou and the others needed to eat and drink, so they bought a lot of vegetables from the villagers, and hired many villagers to build houses too. Later, when it was cold and they needed to keep warm, Lu Yanzhou spent money to buy a lot from the owner of the nearby hill. After discussing with the villagers, he also asked the villagers to help him go up the mountain to cut firewood.


    Lu Yanzhou even gave some of the firewood he cut down to the villagers, allowing the villagers to have a warm winter.


    Otherwise¡­the mountains near the capital are mostly owned, the people here have no place to cut firewood, so they often freeze in winter.


    ¡°Young master Lu is going to kill a pig again!¡±


    ¡°Those people are really blessed to be taken in by young master Lu.¡±


    ¡°I saw that the three young monks who returned to the world have gained weight.¡±


    ¡­


    Zhou Xueya couldn¡¯t stay in the house, so he came out to wander around, then he saw that everyone around him was praising Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou also lived here with a few Juren, and those Juren were full of praise for Lu Yanzhou too.


    They were all juren with little money, and some were robbed on the road, even their books were robbed.


    When they came to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s place, Lu Yanzhou gave them a place to eat, not to mention food, he even lent them his books¡­he¡¯s really kind to them!


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± This Lu Yanzhou is really a good person. He¡¯s going to participate in the spring exam, which means that the other candidates are actually his competitors, but he even lent them his books!


    When the pigs were slaughtered, all the pig blood was put in buckets. This is also a good thing that can be used to replenish blood. If Xie Chengze can¡¯t finish it, he can give it to the malnourished elderly and children.


    So at noon, Xie Chengze had several dishes made of pig blood in front of him.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou and started to eat slowly.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted him to take good care of his body, so he should take good care of it.


    Xie Chengze lived in Jingning Temple for three days. His face was pale when he came, but he looked much better when he left.


    Zhou Xueya was worried about Xie Chengze, so he didn¡¯t leave at all. He watched Xie Chengze being served by his enemies, eating. drinking, and even taking care of his body.


    He had heard before that the Lu family was a general family and was very good to their subordinates, he believed it now.


    They are so kind to the enemy!


    Of course, this can¡¯t be said to be so kind to the enemy¡­The main reason for this is¡­Lu Yanzhou fell in love with the crown prince.


    If he didn¡¯t like him, wouldn¡¯t it be difficult for Lu Yanzhou to do this?


    When Xie Chengze went back, Zhou Xueya also got into the carriage.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou standing there for a long time without leaving, Zhou Xueya always felt uncomfortable: ¡°Your highness, is it possible that Lu Yanzhou is just pretending?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°If he¡¯s really pretending, won¡¯t I be able to see it?¡± Well, he really can¡¯t see it.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Your Highness, you are the best at understanding people, but¡­¡± Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t know how to say it.


    Being in love with a man like Lu Yanzhou, why is his highness so calm?


    Xie Chengze knew what Zhou Xueya was thinking: ¡°I am not in good health, the imperial doctor said that my life won¡¯t be long.¡±


    Xie Chengze had said this before, but Zhou Xueya still found it hard to accept when he heard it.


    On one hand, it¡¯s because if the crown prince is really going to disappear, he still has his family, so his future will be very difficult.


    On the other hand¡­the crown prince is someone he respects, a boss he approves of, he doesn¡¯t want anything to happen to the crown prince.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°So no matter what he has in mind, I don¡¯t care, but I can use him to do some things.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Xie Chengze handed the water wheel in his hand to Zhou Xueya.


    Zhou Xueya thought about how Lu Yanzhou got money from King Rui then sent the water wheels to Xie Chengze, he didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    Although Lu Yanzhou also sent Han Shengchang, who was on their side, to prison, but Han Shengchang is¡­He actually thinks that Lu Yanzhou has done a good job.


    On the other side, after sending Xie Chengze off, Lu Yanzhou returned to his residence.


    Not long after he entered the house, Lu Rong came over: ¡°Did you do anything to the crown prince these days?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked as if he couldn¡¯t bear to see the crown prince step on the ground and Xie Chengze even accepted it calmly and spent most of the time on the kang. Lu Rong couldn¡¯t help wondering if her brother had done something to him.


    That crown prince is a beauty, and the two of them slept in the same bed¡­


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Seventh sister, I¡¯m not that beastly.¡±


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡± Deceiving feelings isn¡¯t beastly at all?


    Lu Yanzhou continued at this moment: ¡°Seventh sister, I remember you said before that someone you know has sneaked into the palace, can you arrange for him to meet with me?¡±


    Lu Rong said: ¡°I was just about to tell you about this. The New Year is approaching, he came out from the palace¡­He found me yesterday, because the crown prince was here, I didn¡¯t let him out.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°Where is he?¡±


    ¡°In my room.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew that the man was actually Lu Rong¡¯s husband, so he was not surprised that he was in Lu Rong¡¯s room: ¡°I¡¯ll go see him.¡±


    Lu Rong led Lu Yanzhou to her room.


    Lu Rong didn¡¯t carry the child on her back when she came to look for Lu Yanzhou this time. After entering the room, Lu Yanzhou knew what was going on ¨C there was a man in the room who was teasing the child.


    Seeing this man¡¯s appearance, Lu Yanzhou was startled. He knew why he was able to enter the palace as a little servant.


    This man looked very young, as if he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips, white teeth and fair skin, he looked very clean.


    Such a person can always make people like them just by seeing them.


    What¡¯s amazing is that his voice is also nice: ¡°Young master Lu, hello.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with my sister?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked. The appearance of this person was too different from what he imagined¡­Lu Rong was five years older than him, she was 27 this year. In his opinion, Lu Rong was not too old, but the person in front of him¡­looks less than twenty.


    This man is really Lu Rong¡¯s husband.


    The man said: ¡°I had worshiped with Sister Lu, we are husband and wife.¡±


    ¡°How old are you this year?¡± Lu Yanzhou still couldn¡¯t help asking, after all, Lu Rong¡¯s child was a couple months old, how old was this person more than a year ago?


    ¡°I¡¯m twenty-one this year.¡± The man smiled.


    Twenty-one, that¡¯s okay. Lu Yanzhou sat down and asked directly: ¡°Your identity¡­tell me in detail?¡±


    The young man also didn¡¯t hide anything. He handed the child to Lu Rong and explained it in detail.


    His name is Lu Qingshan, he was also one of the victims from the chaos seventeen years ago.


    Seventeen years ago, the entire Lu family was ransacked and beheaded on the charge of treason. At that time, the emperor¡¯s younger brother King Su was also charged with this crime.


    King Su doesn¡¯t have a good relationship with the current emperor, but he doesn¡¯t have the intention of rebellion, in fact, he doesn¡¯t have the ability to rebel.


    At that time, Su Wangfei was pregnant for the first time, so King Su was very happy to have an heir. He didn¡¯t expect the sudden catastrophe¡­


    After King Su was thrown into prison, it was known he committed suicide in fear of his crime not long after. Su Wangfei also died of illness in the prison, and even Su Wangfei¡¯s natal family also suffered.


    Su Wangfei is Lu Qingshan¡¯s aunt.


    Lu Qingshan¡¯s father and grandfather were beheaded, and he, his mother, grandmother, and the others were demoted to slavery.


    His family had enemies, so they deliberately brought them to humiliate them. His grandma couldn¡¯t bear it and committed suicide. His mother insisted on living for him. However, when he was ten years old, his mother committed suicide in front of him. Before she committed suicide, she repeatedly said a lot of things. In short, she wants him to take revenge.


    Afterwards, Lu Qingshan managed to escape, but he had no identity and household registration, so he could only hide in a brothel, which is how he met Lu Rong. After Lu Rong was redeemed, he tried to redeem him too.


    Like Lu Rong, Lu Qingshan was determined to take revenge, so he became a daoist priest in the daoist temple a few years ago, and tried his best to get in touch with those daoists who had the opportunity to enter the palace. He finally did it, he was lucky enough to enter the palace last year.


    It¡¯s just that the current emperor is always suspicious, it¡¯s hard for a little daoist priest like Lu Qingshan to get close to him. Even if he does, there are many people around him¡­Lu Qingshan¡¯s plan all along is to find a chance and fight to the death.


    Even if he can¡¯t kill the current emperor¡­Lu Qingshan had already taken something from that family that bought him and humiliated his mother in the first place and carried it with him. The current emperor will surely seize that family after he dies.


    Lu Qingshan¡¯s thoughts were right. After he failed in the assassination, that family was indeed punished by the current emperor, so his revenge can be said to be partly avenged.


    After Lu Yanzhou talked with Lu Qingshan, he probably knew why he did what he did.


    His family was ruined since he was a child, his mother died in front of him, and his wife also suffered a lot¡­Lu Qingshan is already very strong, seeing that haven¡¯t gone mad by now.


    Lu Qingshan said: ¡°A few days ago, my master asked me to deliver medicine to the dog emperor, I almost did it.¡±


    If Lu Rong hadn¡¯t sent him a letter saying that there was a safer way to take revenge, he would definitely have done it then.


    At that time, he was 50% sure that he could kill the dog emperor.


    Of course, he himself would not be able to survive.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Fortunately, you didn¡¯t do anything. That dog emperor is not that simple.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, that time should be a test. After that time, I can get in touch with more things,¡± Lu Qingshan sneered, ¡°Now they have started to make me do some dirty things.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t ask about the specific content. At this moment, he just took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Lu Qingshan.


    After the original owner poisoned the current emperor, he interrogated the daoist priests around the current emperor, and learned a lot about these daoist priests.


    These people are not real daoist priests, it¡¯s just that they have many tricks, and Lu Yanzhou had written down all those tricks: ¡°Brother-in-law, take a look, use what is useful. In addition¡­I have some tricks here, which can be taught to brother-in-law.¡±


    As a person who has studied physical chemistry in modern times, Lu Yanzhou knows many ¡®miraculous little experiments¡¯.


    If these small experiments were done in ancient times, they are miracles.


    As for poisoning the current emperor, it¡¯s not difficult. Mercury and many ores used in alchemy are poisonous, and they cannot be detected at all!


    It¡¯s just that the current emperor is very cautious. The pills he took were all ten times and dozens of times measured for others to try before he took them. Therefore, if anyone wants to harm him, they can only take their time.


    Lu Qingshan was already extremely shocked after reading the booklets given by Lu Yanzhou, but when Lu Yanzhou took him to experience the magic of chemistry¡­he admired Lu Yanzhou more and more.


    Lu Qingshan had already had a deep chat with Lu Rong, so he knew all kinds of things Lu Yanzhou did. Now that he saw these things, he felt that Lu Yanzhou was indeed as Lu Rong said, unparalleled in wisdom and unfathomable.


    It¡¯s his good fortune to have such a helper!


    Previously, there was no hope of revenge and his life wasn¡¯t even guaranteed, but now that he talked with Lu Yanzhou, he felt that he had a chance to take revenge¡­Like Lu Rong, Lu Qingshan relaxed a lot.


    As soon as he relaxed, thinking about things became more clear.


    Lu Qingshan suddenly said: ¡°The crown prince is also very pitiful, the dog emperor also takes his blood¡­¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± Lu Yanzhou seemed like he didn¡¯t care much, ¡°Didn¡¯t I prepare a lot of blood-enriching food for him?¡±


    Lu Qingshan: ¡°¡­¡± What he wanted to point out was not this, he just felt that the crown prince is also a pitiful person¡­


    Although he hates the dog emperor, he has no hatred for the crown prince. His Lu family is not like the Lu family because Master Lu is an orphan, so there weren¡¯t that many people in his family¡­The Lu family on the other hand is flourishing. Their direct line and side branches all add up to form a big family, not all of them suffered that year.


    However, the rest of the Lu family had a hard time before. They started to be active recently when the crown prince started to supervise the country.


    However, although Lu Qingshan thought so, he didn¡¯t say much.


    Isn¡¯t his Lu family innocent? Isn¡¯t the Lu family innocent?


    Since they want to take revenge, they will have to confront the crown prince sooner or later. Naturally, they need to be strong first, then suffer disaster later.


    Lu Qingshan started to be a daoist priest a few years ago. He only met with Lu Rong privately in recent years, this time he didn¡¯t dare to stay for long in Jingning Temple.


    After seeing Lu Yanzhou, he left quietly, and before leaving, he said to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°There are people watching you here.¡±


    ¡°They should be from King Rui.¡± Lu Yanzhou had already found out, so he acted very carefully.


    Lu Qingshan nodded, turned and left.


    After sending Lu Qingshan away, the New Year soon ushered in.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that this year was a bit boring because he couldn¡¯t celebrate the new year with Xie Chengze. Fortunately, Xie Chengze would send someone to give him things every day, so he took this opportunity to send back various things to Xie Chengze.


    Of course, all kinds of food are indispensable, and some gadgets are also included.


    It¡¯s just¡­Zhou Xueya is often the one who comes to deliver things, and Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t like this person very much.


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± Why did he feel that Lu Yanzhou seemed a bit like he disliked him? It doesn¡¯t make sense, he and Lu Yanzhou have no conflicts!


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou is different from ordinary people. He is a person who is willing to give up revenge because he loves Xie Chengze. If he thinks about it from this aspect¡­Lu Yanzhou wouldn¡¯t be jealous of him, right?


    Taking what Lu Yanzhou gave to Xie Chengze, Zhou Xueya went to find Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was very busy during the New Year, but he was in a good mood.


    After all, Lu Yanzhou has always been very warm to him.


    After forgetting that Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, he began to enjoy Lu Yanzhou¡¯s pursuit.


    As for the future, anyway, he won¡¯t live long.


    Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhou Xueya, Xie Chengze asked: ¡°What did he give me this time?¡±


    ¡°Some food and some books,¡± Zhou Xueya said, ¡°He said that he made all these foods.¡±


    ¡°The spring exam is about to start, he is really free.¡± Xie Chengze said, and began to look at the food Lu Yanzhou sent.


    The dates are taken out of the pit, and the walnut kernels are stuffed inside¡­the taste is not bad.


    Xie Chengze wanted to see Lu Yanzhou again.


    He asked a trusted imperial doctor to check him, the imperial doctor said that he could live for another year at most.


    One year¡­Perhaps before Lu Yanzhou could get revenge on him, he will be gone.


    Xie Chengze hoped that Lu Yanzhou would not be so anxious.


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°He is very knowledgeable, he should be confident.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Xie Chengze smiled, ¡°Get ready, I¡¯m going to see him tomorrow.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t leave during the New Year, but he has been free recently, so he is going to see Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was also very busy during the New Year, busy accumulating merit.


    He had asked people to take out all the money that the Lu family put in Jiangnan and send it to the border, so that his two cousins-in-law could use it to help the poor soldiers in the army improve their lives.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins and their husband were able to escape because the families of these two were in charge of soldiers like the Lu family. Although the current emperor wanted to make a mess, he didn¡¯t dare to kill all the generals at once.


    It has been 17 years since they were demoted to the border. In the early years, people had been sent to watch them, but as time passed, the Lu family was gradually forgotten, and the people who watched them also disappeared.


    The original owner had never been to the border, but the original owner was surrounded by people like Lu Tao, who were loyal to the Lu family and supported him. It was also through these people that the original owner contacted his two cousins very early on.


    At that time, the original owner was dedicated to serving King Rui, so he wrote to his two cousins-in-law several times, saying that he wanted to ¡®choose a wise monarch¡¯ and help the ¡®wise monarch¡¯ to help the Lu family reverse their case after he came to the throne.


    Fearing that the two cousins-in-law would be angry, the original owner did not say who the ¡®wise monarch¡¯ was.


    The original owner¡¯s two cousins-in-laws were born after the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. They lived in the prosperous place of the capital when they were young, but now they have lived on the border for seventeen years and have children. Naturally, they are not like Lu Rong and Lu Qingshan who can risk their life for revenge. Hearing what the original owner said, they naturally agreed.


    Because King Rui didn¡¯t know that the original owner was from the Lu family at that time, the original owner was also afraid that King Rui would doubt his loyalty when he knew his identity, so the original owner had not yet introduced his two cousins-in-law to King Rui.


    Now that Lu Yanzhou is here¡­Lu Yanzhou directly wrote to his two cousins-in-law, saying that the ¡®wise monarch¡¯ he chose was the crown prince.


    The 2 cousins-in-law: ¡°¡­¡± The crown prince is good, he is the right one, so why did he say choose? They thought that their cousin-in-law was going to support King Rui. They thought that compared with the crown prince, King Rui had little advantage¡­


    Of course, it would be great if their cousin-in-law chose the crown prince. They don¡¯t need to do anything, just wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne.


    However, just when the two cousins-in-law were relieved¡­Lu Yanzhou sent them a lot of money and asked them to take out the money that the Lu family had hidden at the border.


    As for what to use it for¡­Lu Yanzhou asked them to use the money to help the soldiers in poverty in the army. If the veterans in the Lu family army back then had a bad life, they should give them some money.


    This¡­The two cousins-in-law were taken aback.


    This is buying people¡¯s hearts! Lu Yanzhou is doing well, why is he doing these things? Does he want to rebel?


    Fortunately, although Lu Yanzhou asked them to do this, he didn¡¯t let them do it explicitly, it¡¯s fine to let them do it secretly¡­


    The two took advantage of the New Year to visit some of the old generals in the Lu army, giving out a large sum of money, saying that they learned that many veterans who served the Lu family had a bad life in their later years, so they wanted to contribute something to help them.


    This matter moved those Lu family¡¯s veterans to tears, so they patted their chests one by one, saying that they would definitely do a good job.


    The money was spent in such a rush¡­Although some people were inevitably greedy, Lu Yanzhou still gained a lot of merit.


    People in ancient times had a hard life, it was not as difficult to obtain merits as in the interstellar world.


    Of course, due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times and the short time, the speed of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s merits and virtues was a bit slow.


    In order to obtain merit as soon as possible, Lu Yanzhou began to compile the ¡®Epidemic Prevention Manual¡¯ after consideration.


    There were many plagues in ancient times, and many people died each time. Although there are some epidemic prevention methods, they are not comprehensive. Lu Yanzhou wrote this book to improve various epidemic prevention methods.


    It contains various methods to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and also explains in detail how the epidemic spreads.


    He also wrote about what kind of situation will cause an epidemic.


    Lu Yanzhou learned about this thing in the third world. At that time, there were many epidemics, and some were even man-made epidemics. Because he could make medicines, he had participated in the prevention and control of epidemics. He understands all of them, so he also knows about common parasites.


    He also gains merit by writing down everything he knows and publicizing it.


    Just as he was writing, Lu Yanzhou learned that Xie Chengze had come.


    He put down his brush and went out, then he saw Xie Chengze coming, and it was Zhou Xueya who followed Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze trusts this Zhou so much?


    In fact, Xie Chengze¡¯s two guards were the closest to Xie Chengze, but these two have a master and servants relationship with Xie Chengze, and they looked the same.


    Zhou Xueya is different, he is suave and elegant. He is also Xie Chengze¡¯s companion, and he also calls Xie Chengze ¡®Brother Cheng¡¯.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like Zhou Xueya, but he still smiled and brought Zhou Xueya and Xie Chengze into his room.


    As soon as the two of them entered Lu Yanzhou¡¯s room, they saw paper and brushes on the table used for eating, as well as a lot of paper full of words.


    ¡°Brother Lu, what are you writing?¡± Zhou Xueya asked.


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°When I was in Jiangnan before, I experienced an epidemic. I saw many people suffering from the epidemic, I always wanted to compile a book to fight the epidemic¡­This book is just half written.¡±


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± As a person who is about to take the spring exam, is it such a good idea to compile such a book at home now?


    ¡°Can I see it?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Of course, I also wanted to bother Brother Cheng to dedicate it to the nobleman.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou wrote these on sheets of paper, so after a part of it was written, it would be bound.


    At this moment, he took two page and showed them to Xie Chengze and Zhou Xueya.


    Out of the two, Xie Chengze and Zhou Xueya, one is the crown prince, and the other is a person who was born in a scholarly family, served as the crown prince¡¯s companion, and did many things for the crown prince. They have some understanding about epidemics. After reading the page Lu Yanzhou gave, they know that what was written was very reasonable.


    The compilation of such a book will definitely benefit the country and the people.


    Thinking of the fact that Lu Yanzhou had provided two water wheels before, and now he took out something like this¡­


    Zhou Xueya believed more and more what the crown prince said.


    Xie Chengze is also in a good mood.


    According to the things he investigated, Lu Yanzhou stayed by King Rui¡¯s side for two years. Although he did some things for King Rui, what he did was nothing more than trivial things like helping King Rui win people over.


    Lu Yanzhou never gave King Rui such benefits.


    In Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart, he must be better than King Rui.


    Maybe Lu Yanzhou also likes him a little¡­He¡¯s quite fast in dealing with Han Shengchang, isn¡¯t he?


    Just as Xie Chengze was thinking this way, Lu Yanzhou started calling him to eat again.


    Lu Yanzhou really liked making him eat, as if wishing he could be raised like a pig.


    Of course, he likes it.


    After Xie Chengze ate something, he began to talk with Lu Yanzhou again.


    However, at this time, Zhou Xueya received information from his subordinates ¨C not only did Lu Yanzhou throw money at the border to buy people¡¯s hearts, but the people he placed next to King Rui also mentioned¡­Lu Yanzhou likes men, even King Rui!


    Is this¡­a mistake?

 CH 89

    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law were very careful. If Zhou Xueya hadn¡¯t specially arranged for someone to go to the border to see after knowing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity, they would definitely not have discovered it.


    As for the news from King Rui, it took Zhou Xueya a lot of effort to find out.


    The relationship between King Rui and Lu Yanzhou is very secretive. If King Rui hadn¡¯t been too complacent about bringing down Han Shengchang recently, he wouldn¡¯t have leaked it to others.


    And they were able to know all this¡­all because he had looked for and helped Lu Rong back then.


    If his highness hadn¡¯t asked him to look for Lu Rong back then, he would definitely not recognize Lu Rong now, and he would definitely know nothing about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity and what he did.


    As for Lu Yanzhou, he not only got in touch with King Rui, but also the crown prince. What exactly does he want to do?


    He is so good at acting, he shouldn¡¯t be as innocent as he appears to be, right?


    Zhou Xueya was very anxious when he got the news, but Lu Yanzhou was talking about ¡®hot pot¡¯ to Xie Chengze at this time: ¡°I asked someone to make a pot, put charcoal fire on the bottom, and a pot on top, you can put all kinds of things in it and cook it¡­Brother Cheng do you want to try it?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze responded with a smile.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll prepare.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a rest in the room.¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t intend to follow.


    Lu Yanzhou thought that Xie Chengze was tired, so he agreed immediately. When Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze looked at Zhou Xueya: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Zhou Xueya went out just now, and when he came back, he seemed hesitant to speak.


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your highness, someone sent some information related to Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°Tell me about it.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou sent a large amount of money to the frontier, and then his two cousins used the money to make friends with many people and buy many soldiers¡­¡± The people Zhou Xueya sent only found out a little information, then they hurriedly sent the information back. Zhou Xueya actually wasn¡¯t very clear about it.


    However, giving money to soldiers¡­what is it if it¡¯s not for buying people¡¯s hearts?


    The soldiers were very poor and most of them had no food to eat, so they left their hometowns to serve as soldiers for the small salary.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law have been stationed in the frontier for many years, and the Lu family¡¯s reputation in the army has always been very good. If Lu Yanzhou wants to buy people¡¯s hearts, it¡¯s really not difficult.


    Xie Chengze already knew that Lu Yanzhou was very capable, so he was not surprised to learn about this. He reacted very calmly, and in turn comforted Zhou Xueya: ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. He is kind-hearted, he just wants to help those soldiers who are struggling to survive.¡±


    ¡°Your highness, even if Lu Yanzhou has a good heart, it shouldn¡¯t be to the extent of emptying himself like this, right?¡± Zhou Xueya would definitely not be able to donate all his family property!


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°He is such a person.¡±


    Xie Chengze said it with certainty, so Zhou Xueya began to doubt himself again, wondering whether he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.


    However, Zhou Xueya quickly thought of the second piece of information: ¡°Your highness, the person I placed next to King Rui took the risk of being exposed to inquire about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s news. He asked King Rui why he trusted Lu Yanzhou so much, and King Rui said¡­King Rui said that Lu Yanzhou has a deep-rooted love for him.¡±


    Xie Chengze felt that he had already experienced strong winds and waves, so he would not care about ordinary things, but when he heard this, his expression changed instantly.


    Because of this, Xie Chengze remembered some things that he had neglected before.


    For example¡­How did Lu Yanzhou win King Rui¡¯s trust?


    King Rui was so relieved to let Lu Yanzhou get so close to him¡­It¡¯s a bit unbelievable.


    Was it only because of Han Shengchang¡¯s criminal evidence? This is unlikely!


    Even if Lu Yanzhou helped King Rui with many things, and even helped King Rui bring down Han Shengchang, King Rui, who is always suspicious, seeing him getting close to Lu Yanzhou, he would definitely suspect Lu Yanzhou. It¡¯s impossible for him to just give Lu Yanzhou a lot of money too.


    Why does King Rui trust Lu Yanzhou so much?


    If Lu Yanzhou behaved exactly the same in front of King Rui as he did in front of him, then it would make sense!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s performance in front of King Rui may be the same as in front of him¡­Realizing this, Xie Chengze almost gritted his teeth.


    He could accept that Lu Yanzhou deliberately approached him ¡ª if he were Lu Yanzhou, he would also want revenge.


    He can also accept that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s feelings for him are fake, he couldn¡¯t believe it before.


    However, Lu Yanzhou treats others like this too¡­he can¡¯t accept it.


    However, this should be the truth.


    Xie Chengze closed his eyes and opened them again, then said to Zhou Xueya: ¡°Lu Yanzhou is getting closer to me, so King Rui is getting anxious. This should be something King Rui deliberately let out just to make us misunderstand Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    Zhou Xueya was a little confused when he heard Xie Chengze say this ¨C so it was like this?


    He always felt that something was wrong.


    But since the crown prince has always been very calculating, it shouldn¡¯t be wrong, right?


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to keep an eye on Lu Yanzhou from now on, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s fine¡­you go to my father¡¯s side and keep an eye on the daoist priest beside him.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Your highness, with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s status, there has been a lot of movement in the Lu family recently, someone must keep an eye on him¡­¡± Zhou Xueya was worried.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°Xueya, you don¡¯t even believe me? I know exactly what Lu Yanzhou is going to do. He is the sword in my hand.¡±


    Xie Chengze was always calm, which made Zhou Xueya feel like he was making a fuss.


    Zhou Xueya still trusts Xie Chengze very much. Hearing Xie Chengze¡¯s words, he said: ¡°Your highness, I will check those daoist priests carefully¡­By the way, I have already arranged some people to keep an eye on them. Recently, there was a daoist priest who hadn¡¯t done much before but has now won the emperor¡¯s appreciation.¡±


    ¡°Then just keep an eye on him.¡± Xie Chengze said. He hated those daoist priests, but he wouldn¡¯t bother with them.


    Xie Chengze felt that he was also quite cold-hearted. He knew that taking those pills was not good for his health, and he had persuaded his emperor father in the early years, but after his emperor father punished him in return, he never persuaded him again.


    When his father drained his blood, his feelings for his father became weaker. Now, he felt that even if his father died immediately, he would not feel anything.


    The most he can do is¡­he won¡¯t do anything to his father.


    That was his father after all.


    Apart from his father, he also has very little affection for his mother. He will try his best to protect her and her family as much as possible, but he doesn¡¯t long for his mother¡¯s love anymore.


    He has never cared about feelings.


    No¡­he doesn¡¯t seem to be like that either.


    He likes Lu Yanzhou very much. For Lu Yanzhou, he can do many things that he would not do before.


    Is it because¡­it¡¯s rare to like someone, so he¡¯s even crazier?


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what was going on with him, he only knew that at this moment, he hated Lu Yanzhou very much, but he still didn¡¯t want to hurt Lu Yanzhou.


    He even dismissed Zhou Xueya, lest what Lu Yanzhou did would be discovered by Zhou Xueya and it would end badly in the end.


    Besides, since he protected Lu Yanzhou like this, shouldn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou give him something in return?


    Xie Chengze was thinking about this when Lu Yanzhou came back with the ¡®hot pot¡¯ he specially made for them. Lu Rong, who brought a lot of ingredients, also came with him.


    Putting the hot pot on the table, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°The kitchen happened to cook bamboo shoots with bacon. Let¡¯s use this as the soup base. I also prepared some sauce.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not picky, I can eat anything.¡± Xie Chengze smiles.


    Xie Chengze is not picky about food. He can eat common ingredients, but he still has preferences, and even if the world changes, his preferences will not change.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s all what you like to eat.¡±


    Waiting for Lu Yanzhou to put the ingredients on¡­Xie Chengze found out that apart from the blood sausage, the others were really everything he loves to eat.


    As for the blood sausage¡­isn¡¯t this the thing that he often eats recently, he is tired of eating it!


    The table in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s room happened to be able to seat four people, so Lu Yanzhou asked Lu Rong and Zhou Xueya to eat with them.


    While eating, Lu Yanzhou felt that Zhou Xueya looked at him several times with strange eyes.


    What¡¯s wrong with this man?


    Lu Yanzhou felt a little strange, but he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it.


    The only thing he cares about is Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s performance was the same as before, so Lu Yanzhou still took care of serving him food.


    It wasn¡¯t until Xie Chengze was full that Lu Yanzhou started to eat his own food, and then started to clean up after eating.


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou looked really innocent¡­So he really made a mistake?


    Xie Chengze said at this moment: ¡°Jizhi, it¡¯s getting late, I don¡¯t want to go back today¡­¡±


    Before Xie Chengze finished speaking, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll go and make the bed right away!¡±


    As he said that, Lu Yanzhou had found a clean bed sheet and was about to change it.


    Most people in this era are not very particular, but he loves cleanliness, so he specially made several sets of quilt covers and sheets and changed them from time to time.


    Xie Chengze watched Lu Yanzhou change the sheets with a smile. Zhou Xueya and Lu Rong looked at each other, they felt that they were a bit redundant again.


    The two packed their things and left together.


    When they got outside, Zhou Xueya talked to Lu Rong: ¡°Zhu jianiang, I want to stay here too, I¡¯ll be troubling you.¡±


    ¡°No trouble.¡± Lu Rong smiled.


    Han Shengchang was already in prison, and her husband was also making progress. Lu Rong was in a good mood, so her attitude towards Zhou Xueya was also very good.


    She has no enmity with Zhou Xueya!


    Seeing this, Zhou Xueya asked Lu Rong what happened to her husband. Lu Rong said that her husband went out to buy goods and never came back, so she didn¡¯t know what he was doing now.


    Lu Rong¡¯s answer was impeccable. If Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t know her details, he would never have guessed that she was from the Lu family.


    That night, Zhou Xueya fell asleep worriedly.


    On the other side, Xie Chengze was also getting ready for bed.


    Before going to bed, Lu Yanzhou brought water to soak his feet. When he went to sleep, he even covered him with the only silk quilt that was said to be brought back all the way from Jiangnan.


    It would be great if he didn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, then he would be very happy at this moment.


    But now¡­As long as he thinks that Lu Yanzhou may be so considerate to King Rui too, Xie Chengze is very jealous, wishing to tie Lu Yanzhou up and hide him where only he can see him.


    He can redress the Lu family and kill all those who betrayed the Lu family as long as Lu Yanzhou obediently stays by his side.


    If he was in good health, he would definitely do it!


    However, he is dying!


    After Lu Yanzhou got on the kang, Xie Chengze suddenly took Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand and smiled at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Jizhi, you are so kind to me, do you have any interest in me?¡±


    There was only a small oil lamp in the room. Under the dim light, Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance became more and more outstanding.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heartbeat unconsciously accelerated.


    He knew that he was very obvious, but in front of Xie Chengze, it was difficult for him to hide his emotions.


    It¡¯s like he obviously shouldn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze has a heart condition, but he can¡¯t stand to see Xie Chengze being weak and ignore it, so he helps him recuperate.


    Now Xie Chengze has talked¡­Even if the time is not ripe, Lu Yanzhou can¡¯t lie to him. He grabbed Xie Chengze¡¯s hand and said seriously, ¡°Brother Cheng, I like you.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and smiled: ¡°I like you too. You are the first person I have liked since I grew up.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.


    This is not the first time Xie Chengze has confessed to him, but after he heard it, he still felt numb all over: ¡°You are also the first person I like.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Xie Chengze raised his eyebrows.


    ¡°I won¡¯t lie to you. To me, there is no one more important than you in this world.¡± Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze¡¯s hand and kissed it.


    Xie Chengze only felt the numbness on his hands spread upwards, all the way to his heart, however, he quickly restrained his emotions.


    As far as he knows, Lu Yanzhou has been working for King Rui for two years. Has he said this to King Rui too?


    Has he ever kissed King Rui¡¯s hand?


    Forget it, he doesn¡¯t want to know.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I have a heart condition, you should know right?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart sank: ¡°I know.¡±


    ¡°I have a heart condition, I don¡¯t know how long I can live¡­I planned to wait for you and tell you my feeling after the spring exam, but I was afraid that it would be too late¡­¡± Xie Chengze pretended to be weak.


    However, what he said was not entirely false.


    After he knew Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity and found that he still loved this person, he wanted to tell Lu Yanzhou his feeling as the crown prince after the spring exam, then said that if Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t accept it, they could separate.


    Lu Yanzhou deliberately approached him, he would definitely not be willing to leave him, but would accept him instead¡­He could also receive more tenderness before he died.


    As for why it was after the spring exam¡­ Although he hated Lu Yanzhou for lying to him at the time, he didn¡¯t want to affect Lu Yanzhou¡¯s spring exam.


    However, now it¡¯s different.


    Knowing that Lu Yanzhou had something to do with King Rui, he didn¡¯t want to wait any longer.


    ¡°You¡¯ll be fine. I¡®be study medicine. I can cure you.¡± Lu Yanzhou said seriously.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t take Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words seriously at all, instead he looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Can you hug me?¡±


    Of course!


    If the person he loves asks for a hug, Lu Yanzhou will hug him no matter what!


    Holding Xie Chengze in his arms, Lu Yanzhou even kissed him on the cheek: ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry too much, just take good care of your body, I will definitely cure you.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak. He hugged Lu Yanzhou back and kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s neck.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s adam¡¯s apple bobs up and down, Xie Chengze also felt the changes in his body.


    Realizing this, Xie Chengze breathed a sigh of relief.


    He knew that Lu Yanzhou was acting, but what he was most afraid of was¡­Lu Yanzhou liking men was also an act.


    If Lu Yanzhou has no feelings for men, then even if he deliberately seduces him, it wouldn¡¯t matter.


    Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou really likes men, and now that he hugs him, Lu Yanzhou also reacts.


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°I have been in poor health since I was a child, I have never performed the rites of Zhou with others. Now I don¡¯t know how long I can live¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s meaning couldn¡¯t be more obvious.


    However, Lu Yanzhou refused: ¡°No, you are not in good health, you have to restrain yourself! Let¡¯s talk about it after you get better.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is already used to Xie Chengze¡¯s enthusiasm, but Xie Chengze¡¯s current body¡­he can¡¯t be too beastly!


    ¡°That¡¯s all I wish for before I die, you don¡¯t want to?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say such depressing words, you will live a long life.¡± After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he wrapped Xie Chengze with the quilt, then hugged him in his arms and took a deep breath to calm down the reaction provoked by Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    After discovering that Lu Yanzhou likes men, he thought that Lu Yanzhou would be easy to capture, but¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to?


    Does he really care about his body, or does he not want to touch his enemy¡¯s son?


    That¡¯s right, if he and Lu Yanzhou were to really have such a relationship, their involvement would be easily confusing.


    However, even if he thought so, he didn¡¯t want to give up.


    Xie Chengze instantly had the urge to snatch Lu Yanzhou back to the East Palace, but he still restrained himself.


    If he can really live a long life, there are ways for him to suppress Lu Yanzhou and make Lu Yanzhou listen to him for the rest of his life, but he is doomed to die early, so he is reluctant to hurt Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou also has extraordinary means, he will become a great weapon in the future.


    Under such circumstances, he couldn¡¯t offend Lu Yanzhou.


    Not for anything else, just for his mother, Zhou Xueya and the others.


    If Lu Yanzhou hated him, he might hurt these people after his death, which was not what he wanted.


    Xie Chengze was thinking a lot, then he looked at Lu Yanzhou and burst into tears.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heartbeat almost stopped: ¡°Why are you crying? What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°You don¡¯t want to touch me because you dislike my body?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak but tears rolled down from his eyes silently.


    He was acting, but he was also really crying: ¡°I was being rude. My body shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with you. We should not meet again from now on¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze had thought about it from the very beginning, if Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to, he would threaten to ¡®never meet again¡¯.


    For now, this threat is still useful.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t realize that this was a threat at all. At this moment, he just felt that Xie Chengze was really pitiful: ¡°Don¡¯t¡­don¡¯t¡­don¡¯t cry, I promise you everything.¡±


    Alright¡­Xie Chengze is fine during the new year, as long as he doesn¡¯t do strenuous exercise, there shouldn¡¯t be any problem.


    He will do the work, so to Xie Chengze, it won¡¯t be considered strenuous exercise.


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou agreed, Xie Chengze stopped crying. He freed his hands from the quilt and hugged Lu Yanzhou.


    However, Lu Yanzhou blocked him again: ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll go get something.¡± Not long ago, he bought a can of camellia seed oil, which was intended to be used for cooking for Xie Chengze, but now¡­


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face changed slightly as he took the things Lu Yanzhou had prepared.


    Lu Yanzhou is¡­quite experienced.


    Lu Yanzhou was already very gentle, especially today, so much so that Xie Chengze even urged him.


    However, Lu Yanzhou only had that sentence: ¡°You are not in good health, be careful.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± This is too exhausting!


    But he has to admit, it feels good.


    Lu Yanzhou felt quite lucky that he warmed the water by the kang before.


    After cleaning Xie Chengze, he started changing the sheets again and didn¡¯t sleep until midnight.


    Then, Xie Chengze rolled directly into his arms to sleep, which felt really good.


    After transmigrating for two months, he was finally able to hug Xie Chengze again!


    After checking Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse and making sure that Xie Chengze was fine, Lu Yanzhou went to sleep peacefully. When he woke up the next day, Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t woken up yet.


    He got up and got out of bed, then went out to wash the sheets that were soiled yesterday.


    He usually left these things for Chang Feng to wash, but these¡­he should do it himself.


    Lu Rong was woken up by her son early in the morning. After feeding her child, she went out with her child in her arms and saw her younger brother washing the sheets.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just put it on yesterday? Why did you wash it again?¡± Lu Rong asked.


    There is no one around¡­Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I am a beast, right. I am a little beast.¡±


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡± She remembered that last time she suspected that her brother was doing something with Xie Chengze, but her brother said that he was not such a beast.


    So now, her brother really did that to the crown prince¡­


    Those young ladies in those buildings were all beaten and scolded before they submitted to others in order to make a living. The crown prince has a noble status, how could he be willing?


    The crown prince likes her brother so much?


    Lu Rong didn¡¯t know that some people liked to be in the lower position, so now she just thought that the crown prince must love her younger brother very much.


    It¡¯s just that her younger brother did this¡­How will she face the crown prince in the future?


    One must understand that they have already started to murder the emperor, he is the crown prince¡¯s father!


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Seventh Sister, I will follow the crown prince when he returns to the capital today. I will stay by the crown prince¡¯s side in the future, I will leave the matter here to you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou stayed at Jingning Temple previously because he wanted to accumulate merit and do other things.


    Now that he has almost finished those things, he can naturally return to the capital.


    In the past, he had no reason to follow Xie Chengze, but now¡­he has to follow in a shameless manner.


    At worst, he will just start crying like Xie Chengze did last night. He didn¡¯t believe that Xie Chengze would still leave him if he started crying.


    He can also take advantage of the opportunity to learn about Xie Chengze¡¯s identity, and then help Xie Chengze more.


    ¡°The crown prince wants you to follow?¡± Lu Rong asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°He will listen to me.¡±


    Lu Rong thought so too, the crown prince even did this kind of thing for her younger brother, since her younger brother wanted to follow, he would naturally agree: ¡°Be careful¡­he is not in good health.¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Rong could only leave with a heavy heart.


    On the other side, Xie Chengze was also thinking about how to take Lu Yanzhou away.


    It was inevitable that Lu Yanzhou would go to King Rui, so he wanted to put Lu Yanzhou under his nose.


    It¡¯s just¡­Lu Yanzhou has a lot of things to do, he mostly won¡¯t go to the East Palace with him, he doesn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to hate him¡­


    While thinking about this, Zhou Xueya came.


    As soon as Zhou Xueya came in, he saw Xie Chengze¡¯s face flushed red: ¡°Your highness, you look good today.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Zhou Xueya asked: ¡°Your highness, are you going back today?¡±


    ¡°I want to go back¡­Zhou Xueya, you arrange for someone to come over later and call me crown prince,¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°It¡¯s time for me to reveal my identity.¡±


    He wants to reveal his identity and take Lu Yanzhou away by the way!

 CH 90

    Breakfast is noodles made by Lu Yanzhou himself.


    There are not many noodles, but there are many side dishes, and there¡¯s also a big chicken drumstick on it.


    Lu Yanzhou filled a large bowl with noodles, brought them to his room, then set up a table on the kang for Xie Chengze to eat on the kang.


    ¡°There are so many, I can¡¯t finish it.¡± Xie Chengze was a little dazed when he saw the noodle bowl that was bigger than his own head.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll eat the leftovers.¡±


    After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he began to eat his own bowl of noodles. His bowl of noodles was similar to Xie Chengze¡¯s, except that there were no chicken drumsticks. When he finished eating, Xie Chengze was already full.


    Xie Chengze finished eating the noodles, but there were still some side dishes left and he hadn¡¯t eaten the chicken drumstick.


    Lu Yanzhou brought his noodle bowl in front of him and used his chopsticks to tear off some chicken thigh meat and gave it to Xie Chengze: ¡°Come on, have another bite of meat. Eat more meat so you can be better.¡±


    Xie Chengze was amused by his coaxing. He ate the meat, and then saw that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t show any dislike eating all his leftovers.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting was truly flawless.


    If he didn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou was here for revenge, he would definitely feel that Lu Yanzhou loved him very much.


    Of course, he can just pretend that Lu Yanzhou loves him deeply right now.


    Xie Chengze leaned over and kissed Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou took him into his arms without any hassle: ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°No.¡± Lu Yanzhou was very careful last night, he didn¡¯t feel any discomfort, and he was quite comfortable.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, you must tell me if you feel uncomfortable.¡± Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze¡¯s wrist to check his pulse.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s physical condition was not bad, so Lu Yanzhou felt relieved. He was about to tell Xie Chengze that he would follow Xie Chengze and help take care of Xie Chengze when he heard a knock on the door, and then Zhou Xueya¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°Brother Cheng, are you there? Someone is looking for you.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou let go of Xie Chengze and stood up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Zhou Xueya: ¡°Who is looking for Brother Cheng?¡±


    ¡°There he is.¡± Zhou Xueya pointed to a white-faced and beardless young man not far away.


    As soon as he put down his hands, he saw the white-faced and beardless man trotting over and said in a shrill voice to Xie Chengze who was following Lu Yanzhou out, ¡°Your highness, some lords are looking for you urgently.¡±


    ¡°Your highness?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked surprised.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze said: ¡°Jizhi, I¡¯m sorry, I hid it from you before.¡±


    Xie Chengze is ready for Lu Yanzhou to get ¡®angry¡¯, then he will apologize and pretend to be unwell and pass out¡­He is the crown prince, he also became one with Lu Yanzhou last night. Unless Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t want to act with him anymore, he will certainly leave with him.


    After Lu Yanzhou entered the East Palace, it would be difficult for him to get out.


    However, Lu Yanzhou was not angry. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised: ¡°Brother Cheng, so you are the crown prince. I said you are naturally noble, you are not an ordinary person at first glance.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou thought, isn¡¯t this when one is drowsy, someone came to give them a pillow.


    Now that Xie Chengze has lost his horse1Others discover their identity, there is less distance between them. It will be convenient to do anything in the future.


    Xie Chengze was stunned.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled and said: ¡°Brother Cheng¡­I can¡¯t call you Brother Cheng anymore. Your highness, you are unwell and need someone to take care of you. I happen to know a little bit about herbal medicine¡­Can I go back with you?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou also knew that it was a bit abrupt for him to make this request suddenly, but he didn¡¯t want to play a back and forth scene where he was shocked and angry when he learned of Xie Chengze¡¯s identity, and then he listened to Xie Chengze¡¯s explanation and then cleared up his suspicions.


    This is the person he likes, what kind of scene is he going to do in front of the person he likes? Just ask for it.


    Xie Chengze should agree?


    The progress is a bit too fast, but this is indeed like Xie Chengze¡¯s plan, Xie Chengze did not hesitate: ¡°Okay.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Xie Chengze sent people to prepare the carriage, and then took Lu Yanzhou back to the capital.


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± He really couldn¡¯t see through the relationship between these two!


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡± The crown prince really listens to her brother¡­Her brother¡¯s appearance clearly shows that he already knows his identity as the crown prince, but the crown prince doesn¡¯t mind at all!


    No matter what others thought, Lu Yanzhou got into Xie Chengze¡¯s carriage.


    His attitude towards Xie Chengze has not changed much, but the address has changed from ¡®Brother Cheng¡¯ to ¡®your highness¡¯.


    Xie Chengze was a little puzzled.


    What Lu Yanzhou did was really beyond his expectation. Following him to the East Palace would make it inconvenient for Lu Yanzhou to do anything. Why did Lu Yanzhou ask to go?


    And when Lu Yanzhou learned that he was the crown prince, he didn¡¯t even show his shock¡­Xie Chengze took advantage of the situation and asked, ¡°You already knew my identity?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I have a guess, but it was confirmed just now.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you angry that I concealed it from you?¡± Xie Chengze continued asking, ¡°There are the things between you and me¡­¡±


    ¡°What I like is you, it has nothing to do with your identity¡­Will your highness despise me too?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile.


    ¡°Of course not.¡± Said Xie Chengze. He actually wished that Lu Yanzhou was an ordinary person.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that all? No matter what your status is, we can get along as usual.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze took a deep look at Lu Yanzhou.


    If this person has no enmity with him, then he is really a perfect lover.


    The East Palace and the Imperial Palace are integrated, but there is a separate door to enter and exit. There are also guards between the East Palace and the Imperial Palace.


    Of course, Xie Chengze has developed a lot of influence over the past few years. There are many of his people in the palace. If he wants to enter the palace, it will be like entering his own land.


    The little eunuch came to find Xie Chengze because Xie Chengze asked Zhou Xueya to arrange, however, Xie Chengze did have a lot of things to do.


    After returning, he arranged a courtyard for Lu Yanzhou to live in, then he was ready to deal with political affairs.


    The courtyard he prepared was usually for the crown prince¡¯s side concubine to live in, it was also the best courtyard in the East Palace except for the courtyard where the crown prince and his wangfei lived.


    In the other two yards, it was not good to let Lu Yanzhou, an outsider male, to live so he could only choose here.


    Xie Chengze was a little bit reluctant when he left the courtyard, but Lu Yanzhou said behind him: ¡°Your highness, no matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your health.¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Xie Chengze smiled at Lu Yanzhou and left in a good mood.


    Now it looks like Lu Yanzhou is his favorite concubine.


    Xie Chengze went to the place where the ministers from the imperial court were discussing matters.


    It was already the eighteenth day of the first lunar month at this time. Han Shengchang case had not been concluded yet, but now it has reached a conclusion.


    Han Shengchang really committed all the crimes that King Rui said!


    The rest of the Han family isn¡¯t so innocent either!


    Today, everyone mentioned this matter and asked Xie Chengze whether he wanted a strict sentence or a light sentence.


    Xie Chengze answered: ¡°If a prince violates the law, he must be punished like an ordinary person.¡±


    Han Shengchang framed the Lu family and sold Lu Rong back then. This can be said to be ordered by the current emperor, so he cannot convict Han Shengchang based on this alone.


    However, Han Shengchang has embezzled and accepted bribes to create unjust cases over the years. He even embezzled disaster relief funds.


    Hearing what Xie Chengze said, everyone knew what he meant. Han Shengchang¡¯s case should be judged as it should be judged.


    After talking about this, everyone brought up the matter of the waterwheel again.


    After Xie Chengze got the waterwheel model, he immediately asked the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to work overtime to start making it. Five days ago, the two water wheels were completed. Xie Chengze went to see it, and now it is time to promote it.


    Xie Chengze discussed with these officials how to promote the water wheels.


    After dealing with some miscellaneous matters, Xie Chengze left the palace and walked towards the East Palace.


    After arriving at the East Palace, Xie Chengze did not rush to find Lu Yanzhou, but instead found another right-hand man beside him besides Zhou Xueya.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say much, just said: ¡°You find someone to spread some words outside, saying that although Han Shengchang has some relationship to me, but the crown prince is righteous, he will still punish him severely. And this waterwheel is something the crown prince spent a lot of hard work to make. Remember to weave some ballads for people to pass from person to person.¡±


    The waterwheel was made by Lu Yanzhou. He wanted to use the waterwheel to make Lu Yanzhou famous, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t agree.


    Xie Chengze knew that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want King Rui to know about it, so although he was a little displeased, he still agreed, so now, all the credit goes to him.


    And he intends to spread it.


    This was something he would never do before, but didn¡¯t King Rui wholeheartedly want to surpass him? He refused to let King Rui succeed.


    He didn¡¯t like King Rui.


    After Xie Chengze gave his orders, he went to the place where Lu Yanzhou lived.


    After Xie Chengze left during the day, Lu Yanzhou continued to write his epidemic prevention manual.


    The sooner this manual is written and promoted, the sooner he can earn merit.


    Of course, it¡¯s still a bit slow to earn merit only by this¡­Lu Yanzhou thought about it and planned to do something else.


    In the ancient world, there were many ways he could think of, but he couldn¡¯t do too many things beyond this era ¡ª this was not good for this small world. If there was too much movement, it would easily attract the heavenly dao¡¯s attention too.


    After much deliberation, Lu Yanzhou finally wrote down a prescription for soap and a prescription for firing glass.


    When these two things are produced, it can earn money from the rich, and then use it to build infrastructure and help ordinary people.


    While he was busy, Lu Yanzhou suddenly heard movement from the door. He raised his head and saw Xie Chengze coming in.


    Back in the East Palace, Xie Chengze, who changed into the crown prince¡¯s attire and covered his lips with rouge, looked handsome and extraordinary, which made people¡¯s hearts flutter.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes lit up almost immediately, then he hurried to meet him.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou like this, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but twitch his mouth.


    The person he likes is waiting for him to come back home, this is definitely a happy thing: ¡°Sorry, I have a lot of things to do, so I can¡¯t accompany you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I also have a lot of things to do.¡±


    He knew that Xie Chengze must be very busy. He had already made preparations, so he didn¡¯t mind it.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll eat whatever you eat, I¡¯m not picky,¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled, ¡°The food in the East Palace must be much more refined than mine.¡±


    Xie Chengze smiled when he heard the words and immediately ordered someone to cook, and then came to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side to read what Lu Yanzhou wrote.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°The number of words in the epidemic prevention manual is a bit long. I can write three to four thousand words a day at most, so it will take many days to finish. However, I have two prescriptions here, which should be useful to your highness.¡±


    ¡°What prescription?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou took out the soap prescription and the glass prescription, and explained the method in detail.


    He only has a simple prescription, it takes a lot of attempts to make it successfully. Of course, Xie Chengze has many people under him, so he believes that Xie Chengze will definitely find someone to make these two things.


    ¡°That¡¯s all for soap¡­Can glass really be fired?¡± Xie Chengze was a little surprised. There were soap toiletries at this time, but the effect was not as good as Lu Yanzhou said, but glass was different.


    ¡°Yes, but the specific formula and firing temperature need to be tested. The glass fired initially should have a color, it should be more green.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    In the third world before, domestic technology was not very good at that time, and the glass fired by many glass factories at the beginning was green.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let someone try it.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, ¡°Jizhi, why did you give me such a precious prescription?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°What¡¯s mine is yours, there¡¯s no need to divide it between us.¡±


    Xie Chengze smiled when he heard this, he was in a very good mood.


    He knew that what Lu Yanzhou said was a lie, but he was still very happy.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Your highness, when the glass and soap are made and sold, I want 10% of the profit.¡±


    ¡°This is from you. I will give 40% of the profits to you.¡± Xie Chengze was very generous. In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter if all the profits are given to Lu Yanzhou, after all, he won¡¯t live long.


    But if he was too good to Lu Yanzhou, what if Lu Yanzhou ran away?


    When the time comes¡­if Lu Yanzhou makes him happy, he will just give Lu Yanzhou some money.


    ¡°Then thank you, your highness!¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed. His Aze is so generous!


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°You have money, what do you plan to do? What do you want?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I don¡¯t want anything, I just hope that the money can be used to help the people.¡±


    ¡°Jizhi, you are so kind.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Not at all.¡± Lu Yanzhou sighed. He did good deeds because he wanted something, he just hoped that Xie Chengze would be healthy.


    Xie Chengze actually didn¡¯t think that Lu Yanzhou was kindhearted.


    If the soap and glass are really as Lu Yanzhou said¡­After they are made, the profits will be astonishing.


    As for the glass, it might not be able to produce the glasses and bottles that Lu Yanzhou mentioned at the beginning, but even if only some green glazed stones are produced, polished and inlaid to make jewelry can still be sold at a high price.


    He gave Lu Yanzhou 40% of the profit. After getting the money, Lu Yanzhou should recruit soldiers, right?


    However, no matter what Lu Yanzhou wanted to do, he didn¡¯t want to worry about it.


    Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou had dinner and took a rest together.


    Lu Yanzhou was afraid that Xie Chengze would feel unwell after messing around last night.


    It¡¯s just¡­he wanted Xie Chengze to go to bed earlier, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to, instead he pulled him and started to act willfully.


    At the end of the night, water was brought in¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was a little embarrassed, but Xie Chengze was very calm. The people in this yard are all his people, people outside will never know what he is doing here.


    In fact, in Xie Chengze¡¯s East Palace, there are many people placed by others ¡ª the emperor, empress, imperial consort, and King Rui all of them have placed someone in the East Palace.


    However, after these people came to the East Palace, their real masters changed. They would only tell their ¡®master¡¯ what Xie Chengze asked them to say.


    While Lu Yanzhou was helping Xie Chengze clean himself, Xie Chengze said, ¡°It would be great if the soap could be made sooner.¡±


    Without waiting for Lu Yanzhou to speak, Xie Chengze said again: ¡°You said that this thing is especially good for washing greasy things. If I have this thing, my body won¡¯t be greasy.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what Xie Chengze was talking about¡ªwhether it was last night or tonight, he used camellia seed oil.


    The bed sheets he washed in the morning were a bit dirty from the oil stains on them, Xie Chengze¡¯s body was naturally unavoidable.


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°I always feel sticky when I sit today.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s words are really bold!


    Lu Yanzhou fell asleep with Xie Chengze in his arms, and at this time, some ballad spread in the capital.


    Some of the ballads talked about waterwheels, and some about Han Shengchang. In the final analysis, they all praised the crown prince.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinates: The crown prince¡¯s orders must be fulfilled carefully!


    Although Xie Chengze brought Lu Yanzhou back to the East Palace, he was always worried that Lu Yanzhou would leave. After leaving¡­Will Lu Yanzhou go to King Rui?


    There is also the matter of the bed, he is not in good health, Lu Yanzhou is always very restrained, he must not have fun, if Lu Yanzhou thinks of looking for someone else¡­


    Xie Chengze arranged many people to watch Lu Yanzhou.


    However, Lu Yanzhou had no intention of leaving from the beginning to the end.


    Why would he leave?


    The emperor¡¯s affairs have been handed over to his brother-in-law, so he won¡¯t interfere!


    Although the emperor was not very kind to Xie Chengze, he was also Xie Chengze¡¯s father. He certainly won¡¯t get a little bit involved in the matter of the emperor taking pills and dying.


    As for King Rui, he had told King Rui before that he would be preparing for the spring exam and would not go to King Rui.


    Now he has entered the East Palace¡­Even if King Rui wanted to find him, he couldn¡¯t find him.


    Like this, he can stay with Xie Chengze in the East Palace with peace of mind.


    Lu Yanzhou wrote and read books during the day, while thinking about ways to accumulate merit, then slept with Xie Chengze at night, living a fulfilling and happy life.


    He couldn¡¯t think of leaving anymore, he didn¡¯t want to leave!


    However, Lu Yanzhou was very happy every day, but King Rui was not so happy.


    Han Shengchang has already been sentenced, the crown prince now is akin to having a broken arm, not only that, because Han Shengchang¡¯s son married Xie Chengze¡¯s cousin, his empress mother¡¯s family is very dissatisfied with Xie Chengze. They often went against Xie Chengze in court recently.


    Seeing this situation at first, King Rui was very happy and even went to show off in front of Xie Chengze.


    Besides¡­Xie Chengze lost the spring exam job, lost his right hand, and right arm, so he was very happy!


    King Rui is busy preparing for the spring exam and recruiting people, so busy that he loses a lot of hair. What about Xie Chengze? Xie Chengze¡¯s face is glowing every day!


    If not for the fact that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t marry a crown princess and there were no women in the East Palace, King Rui will certainly think that he was openly having meat.


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was idle, King Rui couldn¡¯t help but feel a little uncomfortable, so he decided to make a private visit to get in touch with this juren in Jingzhong.


    Then¡­he found out that the people he had been in contact with for a long time were writing poems in praise of the crown prince!


    Just because the crown prince promoted two waterwheels! And severely punished Han Shengchang!


    These people feel that it was an action of a gentleman that the crown prince punished the Han family under the pressure from the empress and his uncle¡¯s family, which is worthy of admiration.


    As for the waterwheel¡­the crown prince cares about farmers, such a person is undoubtedly the best candidate to be a monarch in their hearts, right?


    King Rui, who has never revealed his identity, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What about King Rui?¡±


    Everyone looked bewildered.


    King Rui? These Juren are not familiar with King Rui, they don¡¯t know him!


    One must know that both the crown prince and King Rui are only twenty-one. The crown prince is fine. He started handling the court affair a few years ago, but King Rui¡­he is only in charge of the spring exam this time.


    Everyone was stunned, then they started to praise King Rui.


    Although they don¡¯t know King Rui well, the members of the imperial family¡­boast and let it go!


    King Rui: ¡°¡­¡± He was angry!


    King Rui was furious, he wanted to make trouble for Xie Chengze. As for how to make trouble¡­it must depend on Lu Yanzhou.


    King Rui arranged someone at the gate of the East Palace, so when Lu Yanzhou came out, they would meet Lu Yanzhou. They will ask Lu Yanzhou to help him deal with Xie Chengze.


    However¡­his people waited day after day, but Lu Yanzhou never came out!


    It wasn¡¯t until the day of the spring exam that Lu Yanzhou, who had been nesting in the East Palace, finally left the East Palace in a carriage, and then went straight to the examination room.


    Ignoring that, with the crown prince by his side, there is no way for King Rui¡¯s people to talk to Lu Yanzhou at all!


    Lu Yanzhou has been exercising all the time, so he has a good mentality. When the spring exam was over, he was still very energetic.


    After drinking the nourishing decoction that Xie Chengze prepared for him, he was over-nourished, so Xie Chengze still had to use his hands when he was tired at night.


    So, on the second day after the end of the spring exam, when Xie Chengze went to deal with the memorial, his wrists were a little sore, so he had to rub it from time to time.


    Xie Chengze felt that his body was not working well.


    But he couldn¡¯t help it. Because of his heart condition, he couldn¡¯t run and jump since he was a child, so he wasn¡¯t as strong as Lu Yanzhou.


    While he was busy, outsiders came to report that Zhou Xueya had come.


    After Xie Chengze asked Zhou Xueya to watch the daoist priest on his father¡¯s side, Zhou Xueya rarely came to him.


    Recently, the daoist priests around his father have been very active and caused a lot of trouble. Zhou Xueya should be very busy.


    Now that Zhou Xueya came to him, what did he find out?


    Xie Chengze asked Zhou Xueya to be called in.


    When he saw Zhou Xueya, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but stop rubbing his wrist: ¡°What happened?¡± Zhou Xueya¡¯s expression at the moment was actually a little flustered.


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your highness, I discovered something extraordinary!¡±


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your highness, I have reported to you before that there is a daoist priest who has suddenly become prominent from the emperor¡¯s side¡­ The reason why the daoist priest is valued by the emperor is because he has some skills, and his skills were taught by the daoist boy beside him.¡±


    Having said this, Zhou Xueya stopped and took a deep breath.


    Xie Chengze looked at him, waiting for him to continue.


    Zhou Xueya continued to say: ¡°Your highness, the identity of that daoist boy is very clean. I didn¡¯t find anything at first. Not long ago, that daoist boy came out of the palace. I followed him personally. I only saw him enter a daoist temple and didn¡¯t find anything else, but¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°The daoist boy didn¡¯t come out after he entered the daoist temple, so I asked my subordinates to watch, then went to Jingning Temple by myself, wanting to ask for a meal¡­But, I saw the daoist boy over there.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He didn¡¯t want Zhou Xueya to investigate Lu Yanzhou, but in the end Zhou Xueya checked and checked¡­It was traced back to Lu Yanzhou again?

 CH 91

    ¡°Your highness, although the daoist boy changed his attire, I still recognized him. I happened to see him sneak into Lu Rong¡¯s room at that time. I observed Lu Rong later and saw that there was no difference after she returned to the room. It was obvious that she knew that daoist boy¡­That daoist boy should be on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side.¡±


    After Zhou Xueya finished his report, his body was covered in sweat.


    He has discovered something amazing!


    The entire Lu family was wiped out today. Under such circumstances, the Lu family could still arrange for a daoist boy to sneak into the palace¡­It¡¯s impossible for the Lu family to want to help his majesty become an immortal, right?


    After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, and that is that the Lu family wants to¡­kill the emperor.


    The education Zhou Xueya received since he was a child made him feel scared just by guessing this possibility.


    However, Xie Chengze was still calm.


    Lu Yanzhou has already recruited troops at the border, so what is killing the emperor?


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze asked Zhou Xueya some details related to that daoist boy.


    Zhou Xueya said everything one by one, and seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s calmness from beginning to end, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder¡ªis he making too much fuss?


    Also, why doesn¡¯t his highness take such a big matter seriously? If something happens to his majesty¡­


    Wait, his majesty has been bloodletting his highness, so it seems that if something really does happen to his majesty, it¡¯s not really a bad thing?


    Zhou Xueya was very confused, he finally couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Your highness, should we arrest that daoist boy? If he stays with his majesty, something may happen.¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Emperor father doesn¡¯t like us meddling in his affairs.¡±


    What Xie Chengze meant was that he didn¡¯t want to bother about this matter anymore¡­Zhou Xueya actually didn¡¯t care much about the life and death of the emperor, after all, he had bought virgin boys and girls into the palace in recent years, and he haven¡¯t seen any of those people coming out of the palace.


    However, Zhou Xueya¡¯s defense against Lu Yanzhou at this moment has reached the peak: ¡°Your highness, we can ignore his majesty¡¯s affairs, but Lu Yanzhou¡­Your highness, you can no longer keep him in the East Palace.¡±


    This Lu Yanzhou is a poisonous snake!


    According to Zhou Xueya¡¯s thinking, they should act first, kill Lu Yanzhou, and then search Jingning Temple.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Come here and check my pulse.¡±


    Xie Chengze knew that he was able to comfort Zhou Xueya before, but this time it was difficult for Zhou Xueya to ignore Lu Yanzhou with just a few words.


    Although Lu Yanzhou has means and skills, the Lu family is gone.


    As for the Lu family army and those who have been favored by the Lu family, they didn¡¯t make any waves seventeen years ago, let alone now.


    What Lu Yanzhou wants to accomplish is many times more difficult than he, who is the crown prince, could do.


    Don¡¯t think that Zhou Xueya is just his subordinate¡­Zhou Xueya is an official in the court, and the Zhou family also has a title granted. It couldn¡¯t be easier for him to deal with Lu Yanzhou.


    Let¡¯s just talk about Jingning Temple, he can find some random people to check it.


    The border gate is even simpler, if he sent someone to capture Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two brother-in-laws, those people at the border gate are nothing to be afraid of.


    He could even catch the parents and brothers of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two brothers-in-law and threaten them so that they would turn against each other.


    However, he didn¡¯t want to target Lu Yanzhou.


    Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t know why his highness asked him to go over to check his pulse, but he still went forward and checked the crown prince¡¯s pulse.


    He didn¡¯t specialize in studying medicine, but he had some knowledge of medicine and knew a little about checking pulse.


    Then, when he felt his pulse, he was startled.


    His highness¡¯s pulse is really weak.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze ordered someone to fetch water for him.


    He dipped the veil in water and wiped off the rouge on his lips and cheeks, revealing his pale complexion and lip color.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°The imperial doctor said that I can¡¯t live for a year.¡±


    Zhou Xueya had heard Xie Chengze talk about this before, but he was still a little shocked right now.


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°I told you before that the emperor tolerated me to supervise the country because he learned about this matter. And with my current situation, I will die soon¡­Have you ever thought that if I die, what will happen to you? What will happen to my mother?¡±


    Zhou Xueya was stunned. He knew that Xie Chengze was in poor health, but he didn¡¯t dare to think about it.


    Xie Chengze sneered. On his pale face, his eyes were extremely sharp: ¡°Zhou Xueya, I¡¯m not a kind person. Lu Yanzhou is a knife in my hand. He will help me get rid of those I want to get rid of.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what Lu Yanzhou wanted to do. If there were no accidents, he should seek to usurp the throne.


    He knew that Lu Yanzhou wanted revenge, but he believed that Lu Yanzhou would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.


    A person who doesn¡¯t dislike the common people at the bottom, spends a lot of time every day writing epidemic prevention manuals, and also researches things like waterwheels, must care about the common people.


    Compared to his younger brother who can beat the maids and eunuchs to death at such a young age, Lu Yanzhou is more suitable to be a monarch.


    That being the case, he doesn¡¯t mind bearing a bad name for Lu Yanzhou to make Lu Yanzhou¡¯s road go more smoothly.


    Zhou Xueya was shocked. What his highness meant, it seemed that what Lu Yanzhou did was ordered by his highness.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°After all, it¡¯s an outrageous thing. I didn¡¯t want to tell you before.¡±


    Zhou Xueya was stunned: ¡°Your highness, Lu Yanzhou¡­¡±


    ¡°He has been staying in the East Palace these days, he has never sent any news to the outside world and he take care of my body every day,¡± Xie Chengze smiled, ¡°I really don¡¯t know about his arrangement on my father¡¯s side, and he probably doesn¡¯t want to I know. He may just be trying to help me vent my anger.¡±


    Although Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t come to Xie Chengze very often these days, many of the guards in the East Palace were his subordinates.


    Lu Yanzhou has been taking care of the crown prince¡¯s body these days, Zhou Xueya knows about this.


    So¡­Isn¡¯t it because Lu Yanzhou was very scheming, it his highness who was using Lu Yanzhou from the beginning to the end?


    Even using Lu Yanzhou¡­to kill the emperor?


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°His epidemic prevention manual has been compiled, you can find someone to print it out and send it to various places with the official documents. There are also the soap prescription and the glass prescription, which were all given to me by him. You will be responsible for the sale of these two items.¡±


    ¡°Your highness¡­¡± Zhou Xueya was a little dazed.


    ¡°You can leave.¡± Xie Chengze dismissed him.


    After Zhou Xueya left, Xie Chengze went to find Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was in the kitchen, making medicinal meals for him.


    These days, what Lu Yanzhou takes care of the most is his body. Every day, he cooks medicinal food for him personally, so Xie Chengze has gained some weight now.


    ¡°You just finished participating in the spring exam and you did this?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°I want to do it.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Seeing him like this, Xie Chengze leaned over and kissed him.


    He helped Lu Yanzhou bear such a big crime, so he should get something from Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but said, ¡°Don¡¯t seduce me all day¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze laughed, chatted with Lu Yanzhou. They talked, then talked about the empress in the palace.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°My empress mother knew about my illness, so she didn¡¯t dare to put too much affection on me. She is not close to me, but she is my mother after all.¡±


    His mother was not only afraid to put love into him, but he still glorified his mother¡¯s behavior.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°When you recover, she will get close to you.¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I don¡¯t want to be close to her, I only wish her to be in good health and have a long and happy life.¡±


    ¡°She definitely will.¡± Lu Yanzhou said seriously. According to the original historical trajectory, after Xie Chengze passed away, the empress ¡®died of illness¡¯.


    Of course, he knew very well that it was the imperial consort who did it.


    Now¡­the imperial consort will not have a chance to do anything.


    When Xie Chengze mentioned his mother, he was only insinuating and wanting a promise. Now that he has Lu Yanzhou¡¯s promise, he feels much more at ease.


    Most of his confidantes, he has already arranged for them to escape, only Zhou Xueya is left.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that Zhou Xueya was his confidant, so if he sent Zhou Xueya away suddenly, it¡¯s as if making it clear that he was telling Lu Yanzhou that he already knew Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity.


    That being the case, he didn¡¯t bother, but in the later chat, he mentioned that he and Zhou Xueya had a good relationship and regarded Zhou Xueya as a brother.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately said that his attitude towards Zhou Xueya would be better in the future, it could be regarded as another promise unconsciously.


    Xie Chengze was very satisfied with this.


    At this time, the spring exam results finally came out!


    This time the spring exam was presided over by King Rui. Though he was not allowed to make big moves, small moves were still allowed, such as deciding the ranks in this meeting.


    ¡°This test paper speaks the truth!¡±


    ¡°This test paper is remarkable.¡±


    ¡°I still prefer this test paper!¡±


    The examiners responsible for grading the test papers finally selected three test papers. In fact, they all knew that the level of one of them was far higher than the other two. That person had extraordinary knowledge and seemed to have been an official for many years.


    However, the other two test papers, one is from the prime minister¡¯s grandson, and the other is for the people around King Rui¡­


    The most important thing is that these two test papers were both first place in previous years, and the two people themselves are famous far and wide, so the scholar in the capital thinks that the member should be one of them.


    Now the test papers of the three people are placed in front of King Rui, the chief examiner. Who will be chosen will depend on this person¡¯s attitude.


    King Rui chose the one with the highest elevation ¡ª this is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s paper.


    To be honest, King Rui was actually a little surprised to see these people highly respecting Lu Yanzhou¡¯s answer sheet.


    He knew that Lu Yanzhou was capable, but he didn¡¯t pay much attention to Lu Yanzhou before.


    Now that he knows that Lu Yanzhou is so powerful¡­he is a little worried that Lu Yanzhou will be won over by the crown prince.


    It was this worry that made him choose Lu Yanzhou as the winner without hesitation, to give Lu Yanzhou a favor.


    If he wants to deal with the crown prince, he still needs Lu Yanzhou¡¯s help!


    Seeing King Rui make such a choice, the examiners were very pleased.


    They have always felt that compared to the crown prince, King Rui¡¯s usual style is a bit out of character, but now it seems¡­King Rui is at least fair.


    King Rui, who had been praised for a long time without any trace by the examiners: ¡°¡­¡±


    At this moment, King Rui was actually a little proud.


    These people must never have imagined that Lu Yanzhou was actually his people, and he even liked him!


    Of course, the latter matter¡­King Rui actually felt a little disgusted.


    He had already planned to let Lu Yanzhou deal with Xie Chengze. After the matter was completed, he would make Lu Yanzhou bear the crime and get rid of Lu Yanzhou.


    When Xie Chengze passed away, he no longer had any stones blocking the way, so he naturally didn¡¯t need to tolerate a man who coveted him.


    When the exam rankings were released, Lu Yanzhou was right at the top.


    Although this was unexpected, everyone was not too surprised.


    Lu Yanzhou has been in the capital for more than two years, and he has participated in many literary gatherings before, the talent he displayed is indeed outstanding.


    They heard that he has been taken by the crown prince recently¡­The crown prince must have taken a fancy to him, it must be because he has real skills!


    Of course, the second and third places are a little bit unconvincing. They are going to have a showdown with Lu Yanzhou in the palace test, that¡¯s another matter!


    After winning Huiyuan, Lu Yanzhou would inevitably have to go out to socialize, so he could not stay in the East Palace all the time. Xie Chengze didn¡¯t stop him, but arranged for two people to follow Lu Yanzhou.


    Men socialize and sometimes go to places they shouldn¡¯t go, which he don¡¯t like.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking, he took the two of them out together and came to the meeting place, then have a chat with the others.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that scholars were favored, but he didn¡¯t want anyone to think that because Xie Chengze¡¯s favor him that he got Huiyuan, so he tried his best to show off.


    He knows everything about the world, and he can even speak several dialects. Not to mention his knowledge, his insight convinced many people on the spot.


    Some people who had met Lu Yanzhou regretted that they had never had a deep friendship with Lu Yanzhou before.


    Lu Yanzhou talked to them with a smile, and at the same time said that his knowledge had a lot to do with the crown prince ¡ª after getting to know the crown prince, the crown prince gave him a lot of books to read.


    Everyone is envious.


    After drinking and eating, everyone left one after another. Suddenly, someone stopped Lu Yanzhou and gave Lu Yanzhou a book.


    Lu Yanzhou knew this person, this person was one of the juren that King Rui had recruited, and he was also the second place in the examination.


    Lu Yanzhou took the book and got into the carriage. After getting in the carriage, he found a letter written by King Rui in it, asking him to meet him at the next meeting.


    Lu Yanzhou put the letter in his sleeve. When he returned to the East Palace, he found a candle and burned the letter.


    King Rui¡­he needs to meet up.


    If he didn¡¯t come here now, the original owner and Xie Chengze would have had a good relationship, so after finding out that Xie Chengze was not in good health, he informed King Rui. After repeated investigations, King Rui found out that Xie Chengze had a heart condition.


    Now he has never mentioned Xie Chengze¡¯s condition to King Rui, but King Rui might know about it through other channels and use it against Xie Chengze.


    He didn¡¯t cut off contact with King Rui, didn¡¯t he just want to control King Rui¡¯s actions?


    On the second day there was a scholar gathering, which was held in a garden, during which someone accidentally spilled water on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes. Lu Yanzhou met with King Rui while changing clothes.


    ¡°Jizhi, I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!¡± King Rui looked very eager when he saw Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou blushed, lowered his head with a shy look: ¡°Wangye¡­¡±


    King Rui obviously couldn¡¯t bear to see Lu Yanzhou¡¯s behavior, and he was afraid that time would run out¡­He stopped expressing his love to Lu Yanzhou, and asked, ¡°Jizhi, why did the crown prince bring you back to the East Palace?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Wangye, I¡¯ve always wanted to tell you about this, but unfortunately the crown prince won¡¯t let me out of the palace¡­I discovered a secret of the crown prince!¡±


    ¡°What secret?¡± King Rui was suddenly excited, wanting to know the secret that Lu Yanzhou was talking about.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°That day when the prince came to Jingning Temple, his complexion was very bad. I overheard him talking to lord Zhou, and then I realized that the emperor, in order to make alchemy, make him bloodlet, that¡¯s why his body was weak¡­He saw that I found out, and was afraid that I would talk nonsense, so he took me back to the capital.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had already prepared his reasons for following Xie Chengze back to the East Palace.


    King Rui was a little surprised: ¡°Bloodletting?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Yes, bloodletting. His highness has many wounds on his wrist. According to what the crown prince said, the emperor use the blood of his family¡­Wangye¡­¡±


    King Rui¡¯s face changed.


    He got a piece of news not long ago, someone told him that Xie Chengze often went to the imperial physician, and the palace always prepared medicinal food, which seemed to be due to his physical illness.


    When he thought about it carefully, he found a lot of things that were wrong¡­So he was bloodletting?


    Since his father could take Xie Chengze¡¯s blood, would it be his turn in the future?


    King Rui was disturbed by this incident, then asked Lu Yanzhou if he knew who the person who made the waterwheel was, and why the crown prince was making frequent movements recently.


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Wangye, I can¡¯t wander around after entering the East Palace, so I have been studying in my own room. I don¡¯t know about these things.¡±


    King Rui came to Lu Yanzhou for him to help deal with Xie Chengze.


    However, now he was frightened by Xie Chengze¡¯s bloodletting incident, and Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know anything too¡­He comforted Lu Yanzhou, told Lu Yanzhou to keep an eye on Xie Chengze, and said that he would definitely help Lu Yanzhou become the champion, then he let Lu Yanzhou leave.


    Lu Yanzhou appeased King Rui, and then went back to continue to attend the scholar gathering. He didn¡¯t return to the east palace until it was getting dark.


    He is an unofficial gongshi1Candidate who successfully passed the examination system but not the palace yet living in the East Palace, which is actually not very appropriate, but he has not been to the court several times this year and last year, and Xie Chengze is in charge of the affairs of the court, so no one cares about it.


    Everyone thought that his highness the crown prince admired Lu Yanzhou very much and wanted Lu Yanzhou to be his staff.


    Lu Yanzhou entered the East Palace, walked into the courtyard where he lived familiarly, and couldn¡¯t help laughing when he saw the lights in the room.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t like to be served by others, so there are very few people around the two of them. Now that there are people in his room, it must be Xie Chengze.


    Sure enough, when Lu Yanzhou entered the room, he saw Xie Chengze lying on the bed, reading a book with his hair loose.


    ¡°Your highness, you came back so early today!¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled and stepped forward, kissing Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°It¡¯s you who came back late.¡±


    He didn¡¯t come back late, the others were still drinking and chatting, but Lu Yanzhou still said: ¡°I came back late, will his highness punish me?¡±


    Xie Chengze has been sending people to keep an eye on Lu Yanzhou. He naturally knows about the meeting between Lu Yanzhou and King Rui. If the two didn¡¯t meet each other for a short time, he would definitely come to him.


    Hugging Lu Yanzhou¡¯s neck, Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°I will punish you to serve me well today.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an honor.¡± Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze.


    The two warmed up for a while, then Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°Your highness, you still need to be more restrained.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s body can¡¯t stand the toss.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°People should enjoy themselves in time, shouldn¡¯t they?¡±


    That¡¯s what people say, but their body is more important¡­Lu Yanzhou knew that Xie Chengze probably did this because he felt that he would not live long.


    He told Xie Chengze that Xie Chengze would be fine, but Xie Chengze obviously didn¡¯t believe it¡­


    Lu Yanzhou could only say: ¡°Your highness, my ancestors passed down an elixir that can give life to the dead. I have already asked someone to bring it. When I get it, I¡¯ll give it to your highness. When your highness will recover from your illness, you can do whatever you want, okay?¡±


    Elixir? Xie Chengze is not his father that only thinks about seeking immortality and longevity. He doesn¡¯t believe in such nonsense.


    How could Lu Yanzhou coax him with such words?


    Although slightly dissatisfied, Xie Chengze still said: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze in his arms and hugged him tightly.


    Hearing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heartbeat, Xie Chengze quickly fell asleep.


    It didn¡¯t take long before the palace examination came. On such an occasion, the emperor had to appear.


    However, in the past few months, he has been so crazy about pills that he didn¡¯t even come to the palace examination, leaving Xie Chengze to take care of it.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze invited his teacher and asked him and the rest of the examiners to preside over the palace examination together.


    Lu Yanzhou lived up to expectations. He was unanimously recognized and became the zhuangyuan.


    Seeing him standing in front of people in high spirits, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    If his father hadn¡¯t attacked the Lu family back then, Lu Yanzhou, as the young master of the Lu family, might have grown up with him, and would be sought after by others in the capital.


    Lu Yanzhou likes men, maybe they will get to know each other early and spend more time together.


    After taking part in the palace examination, the group headed by Lu Yanzhou went for a parade, and then went to the Qionglin Banquet.


    For the palace examination scholars, this is the most exciting day, even Lu Yanzhou is in a good mood.


    However, the excitement of the crowd did not last long.


    In the middle of the Qionglin Banquet, news came out from the palace that the emperor had fainted and his condition was very bad.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyelids twitched when he heard this, he was a little surprised.


    But soon, he realized that the time was almost up.


    He was so comfortable these days that he ignored the time¡­He had met Lu Qingshan last year, and it has been four months since now.


    Lu Qingshan is a smart person, four months is enough for him to do many things.


    But now that the emperor has suddenly fainted, most of those daoist priests will be controlled, will Lu Qingshan be okay?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want anything to happen to Lu Qingshan. Lu Qingshan and Lu Rong supported each other in a difficult life for a long time, and their relationship was very deep.


    But now that the emperor is in a coma, this matter is beyond his control.


    He is just a new zhuangyuan.


    Xie Chengze and King Rui left in a hurry, and the Qionglin banquet dispersed.


    Xie Chengze had arranged a carriage for Lu Yanzhou a long time ago. When Lu Yanzhou came to the door, got into the carriage and opened the window, he saw people coming and going in a hurry, everyone looked very nervous.


    The storm is about to come. From now on, the capital city may not be very peaceful.


    If nothing else happened, King Rui might jump over the wall in a hurry.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that the capital city would not be peaceful anymore, and Xie Chengze also thought so.


    Although his father is obsessed with the pursuit of longevity, he has many confidants. Xie Chengze had already realized this when he was young, so he worked hard to cultivate his own power.


    It was because he was sick, and his father despised him, that he could grow quietly.


    But what King Rui did¡­he felt that his father was very clear about it.


    Under such circumstances, Lu Yanzhou was able to place someone next to his father, which means he is absolutely capable¡­In fact, Zhou Xueya¡¯s ability to discover Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity was just a coincidence.


    Now his father, who has been seeking longevity, has an accident¡­he doesn¡¯t know what will happen next.


    When Xie Chengze and King Rui entered the palace, they brought people with them, but when they came to the emperor¡¯s bedroom, the people they brought were left out, and only the two of them were allowed to enter the palace.


    Xie Chengze went in after the eunuch and smelled an unpleasant fragrance. When he came to the bed¡­he saw a middle-aged man with a red face lying on the bed.


    The man who always gave him a lot of pressure closed his eyes. Although his face was rosy, he twitched from time to time, as if he was very uncomfortable.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Emperor father, what happened?¡±


    The guard next to the emperor was sweating profusely: ¡°your highness, the emperor suddenly fell into a coma, and his condition is very bad. The imperial physician can¡¯t find anything at all¡­¡±

 CH 92

    The emperor did not wake up. Xie Chengze and King Rui stayed in the palace, waiting for the emperor to wake up.


    These days, Xie Chengze was reminded by Lu Yanzhou every day to pay attention to his body, so now that he was a little tired, he asked someone to move a stool over for him to sit and then waited.


    When he was young, he seldom got along with his father. They only met once during the new year and holidays. After he was in charge of the country, he would send him memorials from time to time, and that only when he met his father more often, but every time he was unhappy.


    His father has always disliked him.


    But this man was his father after all.


    Xie Chengze was in a complicated mood at the moment.


    Xie Chengze sat motionless in his seat, but King Rui was different, he paced back and forth, restless.


    If his father dies and Xie Chengze ascends the throne, what will happen to him?


    Over the years, he and his consort mother have made trouble for Xie Chengze a lot!


    Not long after his father ascended the throne, he killed his brother. Would Xie Chengze do the same to him too?


    Although the imperial physicians couldn¡¯t see what was wrong with the emperor, they had been trying to find a way to treat him. They didn¡¯t know if the treatment had worked but the emperor finally woke up at midnight.


    It¡¯s just that when he woke up, his eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanted, he couldn¡¯t speak clearly.


    After he woke up, he quickly realized his situation and immediately order to interrogate the daoist priests who gave him medicine without hesitation: ¡°I will¡­torture¡­them! Don¡¯t let go¡­everyone¡­¡­don¡¯t let them go!¡±


    The confidant immediately took orders, then the emperor turned and asked the imperial physician to cure him.


    But he is like this now, how can the imperial doctor cure him to be the same again?


    All the imperial physicians were obedient, but they couldn¡¯t give an accurate answer.


    The emperor was furious, everyone could only kneel down.


    Xie Chengze was already a little tired from presiding over the palace examination today, so his body couldn¡¯t hold on after working around so late.


    But even so, he should still kneel.


    No one dared to offend the emperor here.


    However, Xie Chengze was holding on when he heard the emperor suddenly say: ¡°Crown prince, you¡­you are not sincere¡­kneel outside!¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback for a moment, then said, ¡°Yes, emperor father.¡±


    Seeing this, King Rui was a little proud, then he didn¡¯t want the emperor to follow with: ¡°You¡­you go too!¡±


    King Rui had no choice but to be driven out of the door.


    Xie Chengze felt guilty in his heart so he knelt inside before, but when he came outside, he stopped bearing and after kneeling for a while, he pretended to pass out and went back to the East Palace.


    He¡¯s dying, so he might as well do as he pleases.


    Lu Yanzhou had been waiting in the East Palace. When he saw Xie Chengze being carried back, he was startled: ¡°Your highness, are you alright?¡±


    Xie Chengze wanted to get up first: ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, checking Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse.


    Xie Chengze is not fine, his pulse is very abnormal!


    Lu Yanzhou immediately asked people to boil medicine.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise. He thought that after such a thing happened, Lu Yanzhou would be more concerned about the situation in the palace, but as usual, Lu Yanzhou focused on him and didn¡¯t ask a word about the palace.


    ¡°Do you want to sit up?¡± Lu Yanzhou immediately asked after seeing Xie Chengze looking at him.


    People with heart conditions are sometimes more comfortable sitting than lying down.


    Xie Chengze nodded, and Lu Yanzhou immediately helped him up: ¡°Take a good rest.¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°In the palace¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about things in the palace, your body is the most important.¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate.


    Xie Chengze smiled.


    It would be great if Zhou Xueya didn¡¯t find out Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity¡­Maybe he will be happy until his death.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking. He waited until Xie Chengze fell asleep, seeing that it was almost dawn, he wrote a note with a brush and paper, then left the East Palace.


    Xie Chengze made people watch Lu Yanzhou, but he wasn¡¯t restricted from leaving the East Palace, so no one stopped Lu Yanzhou when he left. Not long after, Lu Yanzhou returned to Jingning Temple.


    He wanted to come back yesterday to take a look, but it was already night when the emperor¡¯s accident happened, so the city gate was closed long ago, he couldn¡¯t get out.


    When he came to Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou immediately went to look for Lu Rong. He knocked on the door and entered Lu Rong¡¯s room. He happened to see Lu Qingshan lying disheveled on the kang, and Lu Rong¡¯s child was also gnawing on his stomach. The child has grown a few teeth recently, it seems that his teeth are itchy, so he has to gnaw twice on everything.


    Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: ¡°Brother-in-law came out early? Fortunately!¡±


    Hearing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words, Lu Qingshan realized something: ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°The emperor fainted. Didn¡¯t brother-in-law leave the palace after knowing about it?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know about it. I came out of the palace to watch the Zhuangyuan scholar parade through the streets.¡± Lu Qingshan sat up with a dignified expression.


    Not long ago, Lu Qingshan came out of the palace to see Lu Rong. At that time, Lu Rong said that Lu Yanzhou should be able to be admitted to the number one scholar, and she was very much looking forward to it. Lu Qingshan promised Lu Rong that on the zhuangyuan parade day, he would come out and see Lu Yanzhou together with Lu Rong.


    The two of them didn¡¯t go into the same shop yesterday, but went into two shops opposite each other and watched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parade across the street together, and then disguised themselves and came to Jingning Temple together.


    Lu Qingshan asked for three days off. He planned to hide in Lu Rong¡¯s house for a day to develop a relationship with his son, and then he will return to the daoist temple¡­In the end, something happened to the emperor?!


    ¡°Brother-in-law is lucky.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. If Lu Qingshan was in the palace, he would definitely be arrested. At that time, he could only go to Xie Chengze to find a solution.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Lu Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, then asked Lu Yanzhou about the situation in the palace.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know the specific situation, but I¡¯m afraid the emperor¡¯s situation is not optimistic.¡±


    Lu Qingshan said: ¡°I¡¯m afraid I added too many ingredients to the pill the day before yesterday¡­I don¡¯t know what will happen to him.¡±


    What is the emperor¡¯s situation, they are not sure, what needs to be discussed now is what to do next.


    After getting Lu Yanzhou¡¯s advice last year, Lu Qingshan did not personally contact the emperor, but taught those things to his master and pushed his master to the front of the stage.


    Then, because his master was favored, Lu Qingshan knew a lot of things, such as what kind of confidants the emperor had.


    Because he knew that the crown prince and Lu Yanzhou were close, he deliberately paid attention to it and found that the emperor was very wary of the crown prince.


    As for the reason¡­the crown prince is too capable.


    If the crown prince hadn¡¯t suffered from a heart condition, the emperor might not have tolerated him for such a long time!


    When Lu Yanzhou heard about this, his expression changed.


    He asked Lu Qingshan some things in detail before returning to the East Palace.


    When Lu Yanzhou went back, Xie Chengze had already woken up. Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou hurried forward and asked Xie Chengze how he was feeling.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse and made sure that Xie Chengze was fine, then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, ¡°Your highness, what happened in the palace?¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t hide anything and told what happened yesterday.


    Knowing the emperor¡¯s current situation, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Your highness, the capital may not be peaceful in the future, do you want to arrange some people to be by your side?¡±


    Based on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s understanding of King Rui, facing the current situation, King Rui will never let the opportunity go.


    The emperor isn¡¯t dead yet but he doesn¡¯t know whose side he will be on.


    Lu Yanzhou knew it, and of course Xie Chengze knew it too: ¡°What do you think I should do?¡±


    ¡°Your highness, it¡¯s best to contact some familiar generals, lest someone take advantage of the chaos and do something,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°In my opinion, King Rui will not be quiet.¡±


    Xie Chengze has also tried to win over generals before, so now he frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any generals I know well.¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    King Rui made a lot of tricks. In the past two years, the original owner also helped King Rui win over some generals.


    As the crown prince, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how to train more of his people?


    His family AZe is really too simple!


    When he was cultivating the ruthless dao before, Xie Chengze was always bullied because he didn¡¯t care about anything and needed his help to get out. Now Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments are being bullied in every world too.


    Let¡¯s just talk about this world¡­Xie Chengze was completely unprepared, and in the end he was killed by someone like the original owner.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze worriedly and said, ¡°I do know a few generals, why don¡¯t your highness transfer them to the capital.¡±


    The generals Lu Yanzhou knew were naturally his two cousins-in-law. By the way, both of his cousins-in-law were born in a general family, so other members of their family were also in charge of the army.


    He could definitely call them to the capital.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was helpless: ¡°Your highness, don¡¯t you even ask who is the general I am talking about?¡±


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°I believe in you.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to cause more troubles and let the common people suffer too, so he simply did as Lu Yanzhou wished. After Lu Yanzhou said the names of his two cousins-in-law, he wrote a secret letter in front of Lu Yanzhou to invite Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law to come to the capital, then stamped it with a seal and sent it out.


    In fact, Xie Chengze was also surprised, did Lu Yanzhou trust him so much? It¡¯s fine to live in his east palace unprepared, but now he even tell him his ace card in his hand without any scruples.


    When he said that Lu Yanzhou is the knife in his hand, Zhou Xueya could believe it because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s performance.


    When all is said and done, Lu Yanzhou being bold because of his high skill, or¡­is he sure that he loves him deeply?


    Lu Yanzhou was neither, he simply trusted Xie Chengze.


    He guarded against King Rui and others, but he never thought of guarding against Xie Chengze, or the people around Xie Chengze.


    Now he feels that Xie Chengze is too innocent, so he just wants to protect Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze rested at home for a day, and then entered the palace again. In the following days, the court continued to operate as usual, and Lu Yanzhou was also appointed as an editor in the Imperial Academy.


    But the Emperor¡¯s condition was bad.


    The emperor kept all the imperial physicians by his side and forced them to heal him, but the imperial physicians were helpless facing the emperor¡¯s condition, and the emperor¡¯s physical condition was getting worse and worse too.


    Those who are well-informed have basically got the news ¡ª his majesty may not live until this winter.


    At the same time, the interrogation results of those daoist priests have come out.


    None of these daoist priests were clean. Some of them used to live by cheating and abducting people.


    And the daoist priest that the emperor favored the most recently¡­the so-called ¡®miracles¡¯ he created were all tricks.


    These little tricks were taught by the daoist boy beside him!


    As for the emperor becoming ill like this¡­There is something wrong with the pill that this person made, the pill that the emperor took before is also problematic!


    Such a group of people, the emperor had been regarding them as treasures¡­Tsk tsk!


    The ministers didn¡¯t like to talk about it, but in their hearts¡­they all think the emperor is a bit stupid!


    But no matter how stupid the emperor is in this regard, he is still the emperor!


    The emperor couldn¡¯t believe this at first and firmly believed in the existence of gods. Later, he fainted for a while, then when he woke up, he suddenly seemed to realize something and he ordered all the daoist priests to be executed. He also wanted to arrest the little daoist boy who had run away.


    That¡¯s right, the culprit, the little daoist boy, ran away before the emperor¡¯s accident!


    Of course, the daoist boy also left some clues. The emperor sent people to search his residence, judging from the things left in his residence, he is a member of a certain family.


    Without any hesitation, the emperor immediately arrested the men of that family and brought them back for interrogation. Afterwards, although nothing was found from the interrogation, several people were still beheaded.


    This family was the one that bought the Lu family back as servants because of some minor grudges with the Lu family and humiliated them in every possible way.


    Lu Qingshan¡¯s only remaining family members died from being humiliated by this family, he hated this family deeply.


    However, the family was arrested and killed, but there was no news of the little daoist boy.


    Regarding this, no one knows better than Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Qingshan is also a ruthless person. After knowing that he was wanted, he left Jingning Temple, went to a place he had arranged before, and then ruthlessly ruined his appearance.


    It¡¯s not the kind that simply makes a few scars, it¡¯s the kind that smashes his face forcefully!


    He has been in the palace for a long time, so many people know him. This face is no longer usable.


    After recovering for a few days, Lu Qingshan came to Jingning Temple to beg for food, and after seeing Lu Rong, he called out ¡®wife¡¯¡­


    He stayed in Jingning Temple as Lu Rong¡¯s husband who went out to do business but disappeared.


    He was very close to Lu Rong, so no one doubted his identity.


    The capital is very chaotic and the emperor has done a lot of things, and this makes the officials in the imperial court respect Xie Chengze even more.


    They have no other ideas, they just want his highness the crown prince to ascend the throne quickly!


    At this time, two armies traveled thousands of miles to the vicinity of the capital.


    These two armies are small in number, but they are all elites in the army. Not only that, they are also fully equipped.


    Riding a tall horse, wearing gold and steel armor, and holding a sword!


    Even to eat, they also eat meat!


    When they came to the vicinity of the capital, they stopped moving forward, but looked for a place to camp and cook. During the meal, large pieces of pork went into the pot.


    When the soldiers smelled the scent of meat, they were all excited: ¡°The days are going so well these days!¡±


    ¡°Where did the two generals get so much money?¡±


    ¡°Give us meat every day! Tsk tsk!¡±


    ¡°Even a landlord won¡¯t have such a life!¡±


    ¡­


    While chatting, someone ask: ¡°What are the surnames of the wives of the two generals, do you know?¡±


    ¡°Their surname is Lu, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°I heard that the armor we are using now was once used by the Lu family army before, and our money is also left by the Lu family¡­¡±


    So this is the case? Everyone was shocked: ¡°I heard that the Lu family army was very brave back then. If they had such good food and such weapons, they shouldn¡¯t even think of not being brave!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Lu family imprisoned seventeen years ago¡­then now we return to the capital suddenly, what are we going to do?¡±


    ¡°Could the two generals have some ideas?¡±


    ¡­


    Something happened to the Lu family because of treason, and they suddenly ran back to the capital. Could it be that the two generals wanted to do something?


    ¡°Where are all your thoughts going?¡± The person who mentioned the Lu family said: ¡°Who is the general, do you still not know? He won¡¯t push us to our death. This time we went to the capital, we spent not only the Lu family¡¯s money but also the crown prince¡¯s money.¡±


    ¡°The crown prince¡¯s money?¡± All the soldiers were a little surprised.


    The man continued: ¡°From today onwards, you guys shouldn¡¯t leave the barracks anymore, I will explain the matter clearly to you¡­The capital is not peaceful, so his highness the crown prince wants us to enter the capital.¡±


    So that¡¯s it!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law stationed their troops in one place, waiting for his highness the crown prince¡¯s orders, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the future.


    When they help the crown prince complete this job, they should be promoted, right?


    The Lu family will definitely be redressed!


    Alas! It would be great if the emperor in the palace could die sooner!


    Xie Chengze was the first to know about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law¡¯s arrival near the capital. These two sent him many letters, they always expressed their loyalty in the letters.


    It¡¯s just that he was about to die. Lu Yanzhou knew about it, so they should know it too. If that¡¯s the case, how can they be so loyal? Mostly it was just acting.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t take these seriously, but he sent a lot of military supplies to these two people and asked them to train their troops outside the city.


    Recently, the way his father looked at him was not quite right, Xie Chengze always felt that the mountain rain was about to come.


    But even if the mountain rain is about to hit, it doesn¡¯t prevent him from having a spring night with editor Lu every night.


    This is the carnival of the dying person before death.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± His family AZe is really simple-minded, he still thinks about this every day at a time like this.


    The point is that Xie Chengze¡¯s body can¡¯t bear it at all, so for him, it has become torture.


    Fortunately, the merits are almost enough.


    In a few days, he can finally help Xie Chengze heal his body.


    With Xie Chengze¡¯s illness, he shouldn¡¯t be startled, so Lu Yanzhou hoped that if King Rui would take action, it would be after he helped Xie Chengze heal his body.


    However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. Lu Yanzhou was busy that day, and someone handed him a note ¡ª King Rui asked him to meet.


    When he came to the place mentioned on the note, Lu Yanzhou saw King Rui.


    King Rui¡¯s appearance made Lu Yanzhou feel defensive from the bottom of his heart.


    It has been more than a month since he became an editor in the Imperial Academy. During this period, he met King Rui once. At that time, King Rui was not in a good mood and looked anxious, but now King Rui¡¯s eyes are full of excitement. His original depression has also been swept away.


    ¡°Wangye!¡± Lu Yanzhou looked excited.


    When King Rui saw Lu Yanzhou before, he would act for a while to ¡®pacify¡¯ Lu Yanzhou, but this time King Rui didn¡¯t do that but cut to the chase and said, ¡°Jizhi, I have something for you to do!¡±


    ¡°What does wangye want me to do?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    King Rui took out a bag of something weighing about one catty from his arms and gave it to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°This is arsenic, which is highly poisonous. Try to put it into the crown prince¡¯s meal!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have access to his highness meals¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou worried.


    Xie Chengze is very simple, so there are very few people serving in the East Palace, and there are not many people in the courtyard where he lives. King Rui probably doesn¡¯t know about his relationship with Xie Chengze.


    King Rui said: ¡°If you can¡¯t get in touch with his food, you can also put it into the well water.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± No wonder he gave him a catty of such a poison at once.


    King Rui continued: ¡°You go back today, use the poison immediately, and then excuse yourself that you are not feeling well and don¡¯t eat anything.¡±


    King Rui explained a lot and Lu Yanzhou also complied, and then he watched King Rui go away.


    King Rui told him to poison so casually, he certainly didn¡¯t expect him to succeed, since that was the case, King Rui must have had other plans.


    And King Rui is so confident¡­he¡¯s afraid that the emperor is behind him.


    While Lu Yanzhou was guessing this, Xie Chengze already knew what King Rui was going to do.


    After the emperor¡¯s accident, they had been targeting those daoist priests at first, but then they started targeting Xie Chengze.


    This is not surprising.


    The ministers in the imperial court all prefer Xie Chengze, this matter has been known for a long time, and recently, these ministers have become more obvious.


    Not to mention those ministers¡­when Xie Chengze gave the emperor medicine before, the emperor threw a bowl at him. Seeing that Xie Chengze was injured, the imperial physician present stepped forward one after another, trying to treat Xie Chengze¡¯s wound.


    This kind of scene naturally hinders the current emperor¡¯s eyes.


    The most important thing is that the current emperor is suspicious of Xie Chengze. He felt that what happened to him this time might have something to do with Xie Chengze ¡ª Xie Chengze had planted many people in the palace, and he finally found some clues today.


    The current emperor has always had a serious case of suspicion. If he was able to kill his own brother back then, he can naturally do it to his own son this time.


    ¡°Your highness, someone close to the Emperor came to spread the news that the Emperor gave King Rui the tiger token¡­¡± Zhou Xueya reported to Xie Chengze.


    Now that he is lingering on the sick bed, the more he looks at Xie Chengze the more displeased he feels. Rather, he was worried that Xie Chengze would get rid of him after ascending the throne, so he was very close to King Rui.


    King Rui is also obviously easier to control, as for Xie Chengze¡­ Xie Chengze is not willing to follow the emperor¡¯s meaning when dealing with the memorial!


    ¡°He can¡¯t sit still.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Your highness, how should we deal with it?¡± Zhou Xueya asked.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I have already transferred troops to the capital, just let them enter the city.¡±


    ¡°Your highness, they belong to the Lu family¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze laughed: ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡±


    ¡°I dare not.¡± Zhou Xueya said hastily.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Lu Yanzhou is mine, he listens to me, you just need to follow my orders!¡±


    Hearing what Xie Chengze said, Zhou Xueya immediately went to work.


    As soon as Zhou Xueya left, Lu Yanzhou came back.


    When Lu Yanzhou returned to the East Palace, he said to Xie Chengze: ¡°Your highness, King Rui may attack you.¡±


    ¡°Why did you say that?¡± Xie Chengze asked curiously.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°King Rui gave me a pack of poison and asked me to put it in the well water of the East Palace.¡±


    Xie Chengze frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Why did he give you poison?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had never told Xie Chengze about his relationship with King Rui.


    He and Xie Chengze were very affectionate, and talking about these things is also very unpleasant!


    And¡­he was also afraid that Xie Chengze would be jealous and make trouble.


    In the past few worlds, after he was with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze was quite jealous¡­


    He had told Xie Chengze about his acquaintance with King Rui early on, if Xie Chengze found out all the things the original owner had done for King Rui¡­then he wouldn¡¯t be able to wash himself even if he jumped into the yellow river!


    But the situation is urgent right now, in order to win Xie Chengze¡¯s trust, he should confess when he should.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Your highness, in fact, I have known King Rui two years ago. I am from the Lu family, the Lu family that was ransacked and beheaded seventeen years ago¡­I wanted King Rui to help redress the Lu family case, so I helped do something for him.¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned, he didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to confess to him suddenly.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s various behaviors were a bit inconsistent with what he thought. At this time, if Lu Yanzhou confessed to him, wouldn¡¯t he be afraid that he would get angry and put Lu Yanzhou in jail?


    Of course Lu Yanzhou is not afraid, he trusts Xie Chengze: ¡°That¡¯s why King Rui thinks that I belong to him, and after I know your highness, he always makes me watch your highness..Your highness, it¡¯s because of him that I know your identity in advance. It was because I was afraid that he entangled me that I insisted on following you into the East Palace.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± This person actually round up the lied, and even make him seem so innocent!


    If his father was not still lying on the bed, he would have believed that Lu Yanzhou was really innocent and kind.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking. Seeing that Xie Chengze was not very angry when he heard his confession, he seemed to believe it completely instead, he felt that Xie Chengze was really too simple: ¡°Today, King Rui suddenly want me to poison, I suspect that he may want to do something¡­Your highness, you must be prepared early!¡±

 CH 93

    Lu Yanzhou said a lot, and then saw Xie Chengze looking at him with a smile.


    Then, Xie Chengze actually came over and kissed him.


    Lu Yanzhou was a little helpless: ¡°Your highness¡­¡± He confessed his identity and relationship with King Rui, but Xie Chengze was not angry or jealous at all?


    Only then did Xie Chengze put away his smile and said with a straight face, ¡°Let¡¯s discuss how to prepare for it?¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance of worrying about him made his heart flutter, but¡­he doesn¡¯t know how long Lu Yanzhou is willing to stay with him.


    Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou pinched Xie Chengze¡¯s cheek and started discussing with Xie Chengze.


    He asked who Xie Chengze had on hand, then Xie Chengze answered. After hearing what Xie Chengze had said about these people, Lu Yanzhou arranged tasks for them respectively.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise.


    Lu Yanzhou knew far less information than him, but the arrangements he made were very perfect. It can be seen that Lu Yanzhou is good at using troops.


    This person is really not simple.


    Maybe Lu Yanzhou still has a lot of bargaining chips in his hands that he doesn¡¯t know about.


    Xie Chengze made arrangements according to what Lu Yanzhou said, and arranged for another person to do things secretly.


    King Rui¡¯s actions were very fast. Almost as soon as they made arrangements, King Rui led the imperial army to encircle both inside and outside the palace, directly surrounding the East Palace.


    Now that it¡¯s summer, the temperature in the capital is much higher, so King Rui, who is wearing armor now, is sweating all over.


    However, even though he was sweating profusely, King Rui was still in high spirits.


    After today, he will be the crown prince!


    Heaven knows how long he has been waiting for this day!


    When his father handed him the Tiger Token, told him the crown prince¡¯s secret, and said that he was always the heir to the throne, he was so excited that he almost fainted!


    However, before he becomes the crown prince, there is one person that needs to be dealt with first, and that is Xie Chengze.


    Only when Xie Chengze is gone will he be the legitimate crown prince!


    After surrounding the East Palace, King Rui wiped off his sweat and led some people to break in, heading straight to Xie Chengze¡¯s room.


    There were few people in the East Palace, so there were very few lights. It seemed a bit too quiet. It wasn¡¯t until King Rui and his party broke in that the place became ¡®lively¡¯.


    The eunuch and maid shouted ¡®crown prince¡¯, and ran to the courtyard where the crown prince lived in a panic, and King Rui finally led people to surround the courtyard.


    The guards of the East Palace guarded the courtyard gate, at the same time, Xie Chengze¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°Second brother, it¡¯s late at night, why did you bring so many people here?¡±


    Accompanied by this sound, King Rui saw Xie Chengze standing on the second floor of the palace where the crown prince lived in the middle of the courtyard from a distance, looking at him.


    Xie Chengze turned his back to the light, he seemed a little far away. King Rui couldn¡¯t see Xie Chengze¡¯s expression clearly, but hearing Xie Chengze¡¯s voice, he knew that Xie Chengze was not poisoned.


    King Rui was a little disappointed.


    When he gave Lu Yanzhou the poison, he hoped that Lu Yanzhou would succeed in poisoning him. If Xie Chengze was poisoned to death¡­He will be the one who came to save his brother after learning about it today, then he will be the crown prince without any doubt.


    But now that Xie Chengze is still alive¡­this method can¡¯t be used.


    Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if it doesn¡¯t work, he looks forward to seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s despair!


    King Rui said: ¡°Xie Chengze, you intend to murder the emperor, and I¡¯m here to arrest you today!¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s voice sounded again: ¡°Murder the emperor?¡±


    King Rui sneered: ¡°Xie Chengze, you are so rebellious that you try to murder your own father, you should be punished!¡±


    King Rui also knew that this reason was unconvincing, but in this world, the winner is the king and the loser is the outlaw. As long as Xie Chengze dies, as the only prince, with the support of his father¡­who would dare to question him?


    The most important thing is that he will not kill Xie Chengze and leave a clue¡­His father told him that Xie Chengze suffers from a heart condition, he will have a heart attack if he is frightened¡­He intends to make the movement louder, so that Xie Chengze will be overwhelmed and die because of heart attack.


    After all, King Rui didn¡¯t want to be charged with murdering his brother.


    King Rui thought of this, waved his hand and said, ¡°Hurry up, grab him!¡±


    As soon as King Rui finished speaking, the imperial army he brought rushed into the courtyard and fought with the East Palace¡¯s guards.


    In a certain room on the second floor of the palace, surrounded by people holding shields, Lu Yanzhou said to Xie Chengze beside him: ¡°Your highness, you can do it now!¡±


    Xie Chengze glanced at the person who was protecting him tightly, and said, ¡°Do it!¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little helpless at the moment.


    The person who spoke to King Rui just now was indeed him, but the person standing at the window was not him.


    He didn¡¯t care about life and death and wanted to speak to King Rui in person, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let him, so he found a substitute to stand by the window and arranged a group of people to surround him with shields.


    Even if King Rui shot at him with crossbow arrows, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt even a single hair on him.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­doesn¡¯t need to do this, right?


    Wouldn¡¯t it be nice for both him and King Rui to die here?


    Or¡­Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t want him to die for the time being because there are other things for him to do?


    Xie Chengze thought a lot in his mind, but the situation below has completely changed.


    When Xie Chengze opened his mouth and said the word ¡®do it¡¯, many people suddenly appeared from all over the East Palace and began to fight with the imperial army.


    The imperial army has always been the emperor¡¯s people, Xie Chengze has no way to get involved with them, but he has cultivated some of his own men.


    When King Rui saw a lot of people coming out of the shadows, he was shocked. He quickly asked the guards to protect him, then asked the guards outside to come in quickly.


    The East Palace is not big, so the number of imperial troops he brought in was not too large, and now they were all defeated by Xie Chengze¡¯s people!


    ¡°Protect me and get out! Xie Chengze is raising a private army with the intention of rebellion. He must be taken down, regardless of life or death!¡± King Rui was still thinking about his reputation before, but now he doesn¡¯t care.


    Of course, he did this mainly because he was afraid that a stray arrow would hit him, but he was not worried that this operation would fail at all.


    There are a full 20,000 imperial troops in the capital, and the manpower of the East Palace will definitely not be able to stop the people he brought!


    King Rui wanted to leave the East Palace and go to a safe place outside, but at this moment, there were shouts of killing outside the East Palace!


    This¡­It seems that there are other troops fighting with the imperial army?


    King Rui really panicked now. He quickly asked the people around him, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    As soon as he finished asking, someone rushed in from the outside and reported to him: ¡°Wangye, there is an elite army outside, they are killing our people!¡±


    ¡°What? Who is it?¡± King Rui asked.


    King Rui is only twenty years old this year. The imperial consort is different from the empress, she dotes on her son so much that in the past twenty years, King Rui has never suffered anything.


    He is scheming and cunning, but he has never experienced life and death. With such battles around him right now, he naturally is afraid.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you know anything!¡± King Rui was furious.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins had already led someone to kill them.


    Both of them wanted to earn some meritorious deed, so they shouted from a distance: ¡°Your highness, I have come to save you!¡±


    King Rui became even angrier: ¡°Xie Chengze, you privately transferred troops to the capital, you are plotting rebellion!¡±


    King Rui yelled very loudly, but the yelling and killing around him were so loud that few people heard it.


    It was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law who led their subordinates and shouted: ¡°King Rui led troops into the palace with the intention of rebellion!¡±


    ¡°King Rui led troops into the palace, intending to rebel!¡±


    The voice spread far and wide, not to mention the people in the East Palace, even the people in the palace and people outside the palace heard it.


    The imperial army has always been in the emperor¡¯s hands and obeys the emperor¡¯s orders, but this mainly refers to the generals.


    Those ordinary soldiers in the imperial army didn¡¯t want to do anything like capturing the crown prince. Now that they heard this, they were even more flustered, their strength was greatly reduced. At this moment, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins shouted again: ¡°Surrender won¡¯t be killed! Surrender won¡¯t be killed!¡±


    The soldiers in the imperial army surrendered one after another. Those generals still wanted to fight, but many of them had already been killed, and the remaining ones could not beat the frontier soldiers!


    Lu Yanzhou felt that this ancient war was very different from what he had imagined ¡ª his two cousins-in-law won too quickly!


    But that¡¯s not surprising.


    The Imperial Army has been staying in the capital all the time, and has never experienced any war. Many of them are even from good backgrounds, so they cherish their lives just like King Rui.


    Such a person would naturally be unable to defeat the frontier soldiers on the battlefield.


    What¡¯s more, although the number of people brought by his two cousins-in-law to the capital is not too many, there are still 10,000 people.


    All the imperial troops who surrendered were captured, and those who resisted were naturally killed!


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law captured King Rui and went toward the room, requesting to see Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze, who was surrounded by groups, walked downstairs.


    The Imperial Army has lost, and the entire palace is completely under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s control. What will he face next?


    Xie Chengze faced two tanned bearded men.


    Although Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law had hatred for the emperor, their hatred was definitely not as great as Lu Rong.


    Not to mention that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s letter to them said that Xie Chengze had a bad relationship with the emperor and that he was bloodletted by the emperor.


    The crown prince is also a pitiful person!


    When Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two brothers-in-law saw Xie Chengze, they immediately knelt down: ¡°Your highness, I am late!¡±


    ¡°Your highness, I have already arrested the rebels!¡±


    The two explained the situation one by one, and looked at Xie Chengze eagerly, showing their loyalty and explaining the difficulty of their journey.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Although these two are military generals, their acting skills are not inferior to Lu Yanzhou.


    Now they look like they really just want to ask him for a reward.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the two of you helping me today, I would have been in a lot of trouble. When things are done, I will reward you a lot!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins were extremely excited when they heard the words and immediately kowtowed to thank him.


    However, King Rui was furious: ¡°You are crazy, you actually sacrificed your life for him! Xie Chengze has a heart condition, he won¡¯t live long at all! The imperial doctor said he only has one year to live!¡±


    There were many loyal people Xie Chengze around him, because the battle was over, some people rushed over, including Zhou Xueya.


    Now that King Rui suddenly said this, it undoubtedly made these people startled.


    If Xie Chengze has a heart condition, then they will¡­


    ¡°Emperor father knows that Xie Chengze has a heart condition, that¡¯s why he won¡¯t give the throne to Xie Chengze¡­¡± King Rui was beheaded before he finished speaking.


    It was Lu Yanzhou who did it, and he killed him with one blow.


    King Rui is a prince after all. In this feudal society, most people dare not do anything to him, but Lu Yanzhou has no psychological burden.


    Now Xie Chengze and King Rui are in a situation where they can¡¯t stop until one dies. For Xie Chengze¡¯s safety, King Rui must die.


    When King Rui¡¯s head fell to the ground¡­the people who had other thoughts earlier calmed down.


    King Rui is dead, no matter whether Xie Chengze has a heart condition or not, Xie Chengze has only one prince today!


    So, everyone condemned King Rui¡¯s treason one after another.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze: ¡°Your highness, King Rui conspired against you. You should tell his majesty about this matter.¡±


    King Rui has already been killed, Xie Chengze should go all out and win the throne now.


    Xie Chengze understood what he said.


    That¡¯s right, it¡¯s much better to let him die because of his heart condition after ascending the throne than to swing a sword at him now.


    Lu Yanzhou was willing to let him live to the end is already very good.

 CH 94

    Xie Chengze brought many guards and those border soldiers to meet his emperor father.


    There were people around the emperor to protect him, but when thousands of border soldiers swarmed up, these people immediately collapsed. When Xie Chengze drove straight in, there were not many people left around the emperor.


    These few people are all the emperor¡¯s confidants, including the imperial consort¡¯s younger brother.


    King Rui¡¯s siege of the East Palace today was originally ordered by the emperor.


    After the emperor found out that he was not going to live long, he kept wondering who the person who would like him died. After much deliberation, the suspicion landed on Xie Chengze ¡ª While investigating who was harming him, he unintentionally found Xie Chengze¡¯s trace. He has a lot of power.


    He originally thought that Xie Chengze had a heart condition, and his heart condition is too serious to be a threat to him, but what if all of that was Xie Chengze¡¯s disguise?


    If he is dead, Xie Chengze will be able to ascend the throne! In contrast, King Rui had no reason to harm him.


    Then, since such an arrangement was made. The emperor left a few ministers in the palace, intending to make King Rui the crown prince once Xie Chengze died.


    In the end, King Rui brought so many imperial troops to the East Palace but he still lost!


    Xie Chengze actually arranged so many soldiers to come to the capital in advance and he didn¡¯t know anything about it!


    The emperor knew about the battle in the East Palace. The emperor even thought about running away, but the palace was surrounded, and they had nowhere to escape, so he could only wait now.


    The soldiers were left outside and Xie Chengze brought his confidants and Lu Yanzhou into the emperor¡¯s bedroom.


    He had already disregarded life and death, so he looked extraordinary and refined. He was completely different from the tense atmosphere at the moment, that inexplicably made those who followed him feel relieved.


    His Highness the crown prince¡¯s appearance clearly means everything is as he planned!


    That being the case, they have nothing to fear!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance greatly boosted the confidence of the people on their side, but on the other side¡­the emperor was furious when he saw Xie Chengze.


    There was a lot of shouting and killing outside before, so many people must have died, however, Xie Chengze¡¯s expression was calm, the clothes on his body didn¡¯t have a single wrinkle and there was no sweat on his forehead.


    Facing the palace change, he is so relaxed?!


    The emperor was angry, then five of the seven people standing beside him knelt down unanimously: ¡°I have seen your highness!¡±


    Among the people who knelt down, the imperial consort¡¯s younger brother was also included! As for the two standing, they were the old eunuchs and the chief guards next to the emperor. These two were loyal to the emperor, so they didn¡¯t kneel down.


    ¡°Bastard!¡± The emperor was furious. His confidantes turned against him! They knelt down to Xie Chengze at this moment, what was it if not betraying? ¡°Unfilial son!¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at the emperor, neither happy nor sad.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance made the emperor even more angry, and the atmosphere in the palace also turned tense. At this time, Lu Yanzhou moved a stool for Xie Chengze: ¡°Your highness, please sit down and rest for a while.¡±


    Although Xie Chengze was carried all the way here, it¡¯s so late¡­staying up late is not good for his health, and standing is even more tiring, so Xie Chengze should sit down.


    Better still get this all sorted out quickly and go to bed early.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, then sat down obediently.


    The emperor was too angry to speak.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law looked at the emperor¡¯s face, and then at Lu Yanzhou, feeling very pleased.


    They also feel that their brother-in-law is a bit arrogant.


    It¡¯s okay to kill King Rui without hesitation just now, but now he doesn¡¯t even give the emperor any face.


    The most important thing is¡­the crown prince seems to be really fond and trust their brother-in-law.


    Their future is secured.


    ¡°Crown prince, what do you want to do by bringing your troops into the palace?¡± The old eunuch beside the emperor asked in a shrill voice.


    The emperor slurred his words, so he could only do it for him.


    Xie Chengze took the time to calm down: ¡°Emperor father, King Rui joined forces with the Imperial Army to enter the palace to rebel. He¡¯s very treasonous, but he has already been executed. I¡¯ve come to inform emperor father.¡±


    As soon as the word ¡®executed¡¯ came out, the kneeling ministers trembled, and the emperor¡¯s pupils also shrank.


    The crown prince has always been benevolent. They thought that after the crown prince captured King Rui, he would not kill him.


    After all, with the current situation, it¡¯s already difficult for King Rui to stand up.


    However, this is normal. The crown prince has mobilized troops to enter the capital in advance, maybe the crown prince would also force the palace if they didn¡¯t do it today.


    Thinking about it this way, the emperor¡¯s so-called ¡®confidantes¡¯ said one after another: ¡°King Rui is really treasonous!¡±


    ¡°Thanks to crown prince!¡±


    ¡°Crown prince is wise!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Xie Chengze glanced at them and laughed in his heart ¡ª these people really have no integrity at all.


    However, it¡¯s impossible for a person with integrity to stay by his father¡¯s side.


    ¡°Rebellious son!¡± The emperor suddenly threw something at Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou stood beside Xie Chengze all the time, so he kicked it back without even thinking about it, only to find out after kicking it that it was just a pouch filled with medicinal materials, and now the pouch was directly kicked back to the emperor¡¯s bed.


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡±


    The emperor¡¯s confidantes who knelt down said: ¡°Your majesty calm down, the crown prince is also thinking about your safety!¡±


    ¡°Your highness, the Emperor has been ill for a long time and is not sober!¡±


    ¡°Your highness¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law at this time: ¡°Two generals, take these kneeling ones down.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Xie Chengze arranged some people to do things, and in the end he was left with only his guards, confidantes like Zhou Xueya, and Lu Yanzhou.


    What he was going to do next was not suitable for being watched by a group of people, he didn¡¯t want to disturb them.


    As for what he is going to do¡­When they left, Xie Chengze said: ¡°Emperor father, I will ask someone to draw up an abdication edict, you can stamp it.¡±


    When Xie Chengze said this, he was very calm, but the emperor was unwilling: ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case¡­then emperor father, you were frightened today and fell into a coma. You should pass away in a few days.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s words were absolutely treasonous, Zhou Xueya and the others couldn¡¯t bear it, let alone the emperor: ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°emperor father is really seriously ill, you can¡¯t even hear what I said, then I¡¯ll repeat it again. Emperor father, you were frightened today¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡­I abdicate!¡± the emperor blurted out.


    ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Zhou Xueya: ¡°Lord Zhou, go and write an edict of abdication.¡±


    Zhou Xueya immediately went to the side to write the imperial edict.


    The emperor looked at Xie Chengze bitterly: ¡°Is it because of you that I¡¯m like this now?¡±


    Xie Chengze was very calm: ¡°Yes, emperor father. I didn¡¯t want to do anything, but at the end of last year, you knew that I had a heart condition but still make me give you my blood¡­You don¡¯t treat me as a son, so naturally I don¡¯t need to treat you as a father.¡±


    The emperor¡¯s mouth was even more crooked. It suddenly occurred to him that the little daoist boy had been very quiet at first, it was indeed after that that he started to play various tricks and tricked him.


    He said how does that little boy know so much, the person behind him is indeed the crown prince!


    No wonder!


    The emperor was very angry and Xie Chengze¡¯s confidants were all shocked.


    They knew that Xie Chengze was very cunning, but they didn¡¯t expect that the emperor¡¯s illness was also because of him!


    The crown prince is a bit¡­cruel!


    Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s words, Zhou Xueya also began to doubt ¡ª was all this really arranged by the crown prince?


    Then, Lu Yanzhou was speechless ¡ª even if Xie Chengze was angry with the emperor, he didn¡¯t have to pour dirty water on himself¡­


    But forget it, it¡¯s nothing, people who hear it will never talk nonsense.


    The emperor glared at Xie Chengze: ¡°You¡­you¡­¡±


    ¡°Emperor father, is there anything else you want to ask?¡± Xie Chengze looked innocent.


    Then, Zhou Xueya said at this moment: ¡°The imperial edict is ready.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hurriedly wanted Xie Chengze to go back to sleep, so he said, ¡°Your highness, hurry up and get down to business, it¡¯s already late¡­The chicken soup I made people stew has also been stewed.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m hungry.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood.


    But this did not affect Xie Chengze¡¯s abdication edict.


    When Xie Chengze got the edict, Lu Yanzhou persuaded him: ¡°Your highness, you go back to eat something and sleep, we will take care of the rest.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t care about this, so he naturally agreed: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Zhou Xueya hesitated to speak. He was always worried that Lu Yanzhou would kill his highness!


    But looking at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s attentive appearance now, maybe he really thought too much?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Zhou Xueya was thinking. After he persuaded Xie Chengze to go to bed, he got busy.


    He didn¡¯t have any people on hand, so he used Xie Chengze¡¯s people to handle the affairs and quickly arranged a bunch of things for them to do.


    People other than Zhou Xueya: no wonder the crown prince values this Lu zhuangyuan so much, he has real skills!


    After Lu Yanzhou finished arranging things for these people, it was already dawn and Xie Chengze also woke up.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately went to Xie Chengze: ¡°Your highness, how do you feel?¡±


    Xie Chengze pulled him to his side and kissed him: ¡°I¡¯m good.¡±


    ¡°As long as your highness is good,¡± Lu Yanzhou hugged him, ¡°Your highness, I can call you your majesty from now on!¡± The enthronement ceremony was a bit later but Xie Chengze was already the emperor in the actual sense.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou realized that he still had some things to discuss with Xie Chengze.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xie Chengze also noticed.


    ¡°Your majesty, I have already told you my identity. I am from the Lu family. Your majesty, after you ascend the throne, can you help the Lu family redress the case, okay?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Your majesty, there is one more thing¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Your majesty, the two of us are already together, like husband and wife. After your majesty ascends the throne, can you not set up a harem?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou believed that Xie Chengze would not be with others, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t have any memories of the past, so maybe he would make some decorations¡­That¡¯s also a response.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed again, feeling that Lu Yanzhou was a bit strange.


    He is near the end of his life, it¡¯s impossible for this body to be with others. Lu Yanzhou is still worried about this? Even if it¡¯s acting, it doesn¡¯t have to be like this, right?


    Seeing that Xie Chengze agreed without hesitation, Lu Yanzhou was in a great mood and hugged Xie Chengze and kissed him.


    Alas, his AZe is too obedient!

 CH 95

    Xie Chengze was very happy to be kissed by Lu Yanzhou.


    He likes that Lu Yanzhou is close to him.


    Especially with Lu Yanzhou like this¡­Lu Yanzhou shouldn¡¯t be planning to kill him, right? Will he let him live the rest of his life well?


    Xie Chengze smiled and looked at Lu Yanzhou, pretending that he knew nothing about what Lu Yanzhou was doing in private: ¡°What about you? I promised you not to set up a harem, should you also promise me not to marry a wife and have children?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I only like you.¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate.


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou agreed so simply, Xie Chengze was a little taken aback.


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°My partner is only you!¡±


    Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou and kissed him again.


    The two kissed for a long time, and finally Lu Yanzhou stopped first. He remembered another thing ¡ª after Xie Chengze ascended the throne, he could not set up a harem, but the throne still needed an heir: ¡°Your majesty, if you don¡¯t think of setting up a harem, have you thought about who to make the crown prince? Do you want me to recommend someone?¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou rubbed his nose in embarrassment: ¡°Does your majesty still remember Zhu jianiang in Jingning Temple? She is actually my elder sister, I think her child is good.¡±


    This was what Lu Yanzhou had thought about from the very beginning.


    He believed that after he did this, all the hatred Lu Rong and the others have should be gone!


    Of course, he thinks this way too because there are really very few people in the imperial family. There¡¯s only King Rui, Xie Chengze, and the emperor.


    He didn¡¯t plan to keep the other two from the beginning, so Xie Chengze would definitely have to choose another heir.


    If that¡¯s the case¡­it¡¯s good to choose Lu Rong¡¯s child. Judging from the memory of the original owner, that child is already very smart at a young age.


    Moreover, he has both parents, so they don¡¯t need to teach and take care of him, how wonderful!


    Hearing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words, Xie Chengze understood Lu Yanzhou¡¯s plan.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t mean to rob the throne with swords and spears, he probably wanted to get the throne smoothly.


    Also, if Lu Yanzhou killed him and seized the throne, it would easily cause turmoil and many people would be dissatisfied. However, if Lu Rong¡¯s child succeeded him after he died, Lu Yanzhou could justifiably be the regent.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s choice couldn¡¯t be more correct.


    But, is Lu Yanzhou so confident? Is he so certain he would agree?


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°What if I disagree?¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s choose someone else.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. Xie Chengze wants a newborn child so that they have to raise him themselves? This is not impossible.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°No need to change, I like that child quite a lot.¡±


    ¡°That child is quite cute. I don¡¯t know if his mother is willing or not. I¡¯ll ask later,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, and then apologized to Xie Chengze, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I concealed a lot of things from you before, mainly because I was afraid that after knowing my identity, you won¡¯t believe me and don¡¯t want to be with me.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    The two chatted for a while. Then, at this time, many people also come to see Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze was going to meet people, so Lu Yanzhou naturally followed ¡ª he was afraid that Xie Chengze would be bullied.


    But obviously, he thought too much.


    Xie Chengze arranged manpower in advance, killed King Rui, and forced the emperor¡­ No, the Supreme Emperor abdicated, this method is really extraordinary!


    In addition, he had already supervised the country for several years, and the ministers in the imperial court had long been mentally prepared for his ascension to the throne. At most, they just murmured in their hearts, thinking that Xie Chengze was too cruel.


    But it¡¯s not aimed at them, so it doesn¡¯t matter.


    Xie Chengze had a lot to do, but Lu Yanzhou was always by his side to help him.


    Fearing that Xie Chengze would be tired, he took on most of the work, and only picked out the most important memorials for Xie Chengze to read.


    Seeing this, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help raising his eyebrows.


    Lu Yanzhou really impressed him again and again.


    He didn¡¯t expect that Lu Yanzhou could get involved in government affairs in such a short period of time.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking. After working hard for a long time, he said goodbye to Xie Chengze after finishing the matter, saying that he was going to meet Lu Rong and his two cousins-in-law.


    Xie Chengze agreed without even thinking about it.


    After the Lu family was ransacked and beheaded seventeen years ago, the Lu family¡¯s house was vacant.


    Lu Yanzhou arranged for his two cousins-in-law to live there last night, and after Lu Rong and the others were taken to the capital, they also lived there.


    When Lu Yanzhou came over, he saw Lu Rong and the others were cleaning the house.


    He forgot that no one lived in this house for seventeen years, it would be more troublesome to live in it now.


    However, his two cousins-in-law also got some enlisted soldiers help, so they will definitely be able to tidy up before going to bed tonight.


    ¡°Eldest brother-in-law, fourth brother-in-law.¡± Lu Yanzhou greeted his two cousins-in-law with a smile.


    These two people are not too young, and they have been exposed to the sun and rain all year round at the border, which makes them look even older. They can be Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father, and even if they tell people that they are Lu Yanzhou¡¯s grandfather, others may believe it.


    These two had talked a lot with Lu Yanzhou yesterday, so they were very enthusiastic about this brother-in-law Lu Yanzhou at that time. However, now when they saw Lu Yanzhou, their expressions were a little conflicted.


    They had a chat with Lu Rong not long ago and learned some amazing things.


    For example, what King Rui said yesterday was true, his highness the crown prince really had a heart condition, and for example, his highness the crown prince fell in love with their brother-in-law, so much so that he was played by his brother-in-law.


    For example, the Supreme Emperor¡¯s illness was actually caused by Lu Rong¡¯s husband. For example, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s revenge plan may not have stopped yet.


    Now that the two of them have led troops into the capital, they have dispersed the imperial army and brought the capital under control. It¡¯s unknown whether Lu Yanzhou will try to usurp the throne.


    The Supreme Emperor is dead, King Rui is dead, and the emperor has promised to redress the Lu family¡­In fact, Lu Rong¡¯s hatred in her heart has been calmed down a lot now and she doesn¡¯t have much hatred for Xie Chengze.


    She was a little worried now, fearing that Lu Yanzhou would be too radical and would harm himself instead.


    Xie Chengze was well received in the court, and yesterday it was King Rui who took the initiative, so although he forced the Supreme Emperor to abdicate, everyone didn¡¯t think there was a problem.


    But if Lu Yanzhou wants to usurp the throne¡­there must be many people who oppose it.


    Lu Yanzhou noticed the faces of the three of them, so he guessed what they were thinking, and immediately said: ¡°Seventh sister, two brother-in-laws, King Rui is dead now, and the Supreme Emperor will not live long. Most of our vengeance has been avenged. About the rest¡­I want to discuss it with you.¡±


    Lu Rong¡¯s heart skipped a beat: ¡°What are your plans?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousin-in-laws were also very nervous ¡ª their brother-in-law wouldn¡¯t tell them to rebel, right? They never did this¡­


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I want the Xie family to have no children or grandchildren.¡± Xie Chengze will definitely have no children since he is with him.


    The expressions of the remaining three people changed.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°The plan can¡¯t keep up with the changes. King Rui made a sudden move and Xie Chengze ascended the throne¡­If we act rashly now, the world may be in chaos, it¡¯s not advisable to waste people and money.¡±


    ¡°Indeed!¡± Lu Rong said.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Fortunately, Xie Chengze loves me very much and he is very obedient to me¡­I asked him not to set up a harem yesterday, and he has already agreed. He also said that he can make seventh sister¡¯s child the crown prince¡­Seventh Sister, is that okay with you?¡±


    Lu Rong was stunned: ¡°What?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou repeated it again, and then said: ¡°Like this, the Xie family will lose all children and grandchildren and the throne will fall into our Lu¡¯s family hands¡­This revenge will be considered avenge.¡±


    Lu Rong asked: ¡°Crown prince¡­ the emperor is willing?¡±


    ¡°Of course he is willing.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡± What is going on with Xie Chengze, why does he always listen to her brother! He likes her brother so much?


    For a moment, Lu Rong didn¡¯t know what expression to make. The Supreme Emperor was so suspicious and selfish but he gave birth to such a naive son?


    He even willingly handed over the throne to others!


    Although Lu Rong didn¡¯t hate Xie Chengze in the past, because of Xie Chengze¡¯s identity as Xie¡¯s family member, she always felt a little upset, but now it¡¯s different.


    Now she only has affection for Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law were also a little confused ¡ª how could it be like this?


    The emperor even agree to such a request?


    This¡­this¡­They always thought that the emperor was very wise, but they didn¡¯t expect him to be as easy to deceive as a little girl who didn¡¯t know much about the world.


    This is¡­his family business is going to be wiped out!


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou asked Lu Rong again: ¡°Seventh Sister, are you willing?¡±


    Lu Rong¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°I am willing!¡± It¡¯s impossible for her to disagree with such a good thing. Who doesn¡¯t want to give their children the best?


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed.


    Lu Rong thought for a moment and said: ¡°If the emperor wants me to enter the palace, of course your brother-in-law will follow but he cannot be castrated.¡±


    The emperor has a heart condition and may not live for too long, she can¡¯t let her child stay alone in the palace!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t think about this before, he just wanted to find an heir for Xie Chengze, but if Lu Rong is willing to enter the palace¡­In fact, this is the best: ¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was thinking about Xie Chengze, so after discussing with his sister and cousins-in-laws, he returned to the palace.


    Lu Rong and the two cousins-in-law looked at each other, not knowing what to say.


    After a long time, Lu Rong said: ¡°Fortunately, he is not too cruel.¡±


    The two bearded men nodded again and again.


    On the other hand, after Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze met Zhou Xueya.


    Zhou Xueya was still worried: ¡°Your majesty, you have to guard against the Lu family¡­¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to guard against it,¡± Xie Chengze said, ¡°Lu Yanzhou is absolutely devoted to me.¡±


    Zhou Xueya was still a little worried.


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°There is actually another reason why I value the Lu family so much.¡±


    Zhou Xueya looked at Xie Chengze puzzled.


    Xie Chengze used Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words to deceive Zhou Xueya: ¡°Back then, the Lu family got some miraculous medicine from the imperial family from the previous dynasty which can save life and revive the dead. If I can take it, all diseases will disappear.¡±


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± Your majesty also believes this?


    Besides, even if there was such a treasure, Lu Yanzhou wouldn¡¯t give it to his majesty, would he? He would be sure to keep it for himself!


    But Zhou Xueya was still convinced ¡ª His majesty never had a losing temperament!


    When he left the palace, he saw Lu Yanzhou entering the palace excitedly, still wondering if he had really wronged Lu Yanzhou before.


    If what his majesty said is true, his majesty has always been using Lu Yanzhou¡­Then Lu Yanzhou is quite pitiful!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Zhou Xueya was thinking. After he returned to the palace, he began to discuss with Xie Chengze about letting Lu Rong enter the palace.


    In fact, if Lu Rong and Lu Qingshan could live in the harem, it would also be very good. The children will be taught, so they don¡¯t have to worry about them at all!


    Xie Chengze will also have an ¡®empress¡¯ and those officials will have nothing to say.


    When Lu Yanzhou mentioned this matter, Xie Chengze immediately agreed.


    He doesn¡¯t care about these things. If Lu Yanzhou and the others got things smoothly, they wouldn¡¯t go to war. At that time, his mother can be a good empress dowager in the palace and his confidants can gain a foothold in the court, which is very good.


    In the end, it was Lu Yanzhou who felt that Xie Chengze agreed too quickly: ¡°Why did you agree so quickly¡­Hey, let me tell you, the empress on the surface is my sister, but in fact it¡¯s me. You have to remember my name when the time comes. My sister is just marrying on behalf of her younger brother.¡±

 CH 96

    Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou was very strange, the point of his focus is always weird.


    He makes him, a dying man, promise not to set up a harem, but now he also wants an empress.


    Lu Yanzhou should have waited for his death then take reins of power, he should be able to control the emperor and command his vassals!


    Now that Lu Yanzhou is talking about this with him, is he trying to lower his vigilance, or does Lu Yanzhou really have some affection for him?


    Xie Chengze thought about it and felt that Lu Yanzhou should have some affection for him.


    He has already confirmed that Lu Yanzhou likes men, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be unable to stand his teasing, and since Lu Yanzhou likes men¡­Among the men in the world, he should be considered good in terms of appearance and talent.


    Although there is a grudge between him and Lu Yanzhou, he is dying and he is also obedient to Lu Yanzhou these days. It¡¯s normal for Lu Yanzhou to like him, right?


    This is good, he should be able to live the rest of his life comfortably.


    The only annoying thing is that after his death, Lu Yanzhou might make out with other people and coax them like him.


    Lu Yanzhou should have done this before, otherwise how could he be so proficient?


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm, rolled up Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sleeve and bit Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know why he bit him, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Said Xie Chengze. His teeth were itchy, he just wanted to grind them.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± it may just be a little fun, Xie Chengze has always liked his body very much.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou pulled Xie Chengze into his arms and kissed him again.


    The two talked for a while, then went to work.


    The enthronement ceremony is scheduled in a few days, so before the enthronement ceremony, all arrangements must be prepared.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s subordinates are arguing about various things every day.


    But today, when Xie Chengze sat in front of them and said calmly that he was going to make a woman an empress, everyone was shocked.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s age is not too young, he is already twenty-one, plus he started to replace the Supreme Emperor to handle government affairs early¡­As early as a few years ago, some minister already persuaded him to marry and set a crown princess.


    However, he kept shirking.


    Why was he suddenly willing to set up an empress now? More importantly, the empress had already given birth to a child.


    Xie Chengze explained: ¡°emperor father is very guarded against me and has placed a lot of people around me. King Rui has also been watching me all the time. I hid them outside the palace for the safety of the mother and child¡­Of course, this is also related to their identities, the empress is a descendant of the Lu family.¡±


    Ministers: ¡°!!!¡±


    No wonder the Lu family listened to their emperor, so it was because of this reason?


    Their emperor found a descendant of the Lu family to be the empress?


    It seems pretty good?


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°When I was the crown prince, I could only visit them from time to time, and now it¡¯s time to take them back to the palace.¡±


    Xie Chengze secretly leaves the palace every month. Many people also know about it, it turns out¡­he raised someone outside the palace?


    The ministers were shocked.


    This dynasty has only been established for a few decades but the imperial power is very strong. In addition, the current capital is under Xie Chengze¡¯s control¡­ Naturally, they will not object to matters related to his marriage.


    Most importantly, she was from the Lu family!


    Most of the veterans in the court felt guilty towards the Lu family and were willing to give the Lu family more face.


    That¡¯s done.


    This is why Zhou Xueya approached Xie Chengze afterwards ¡ª he knew the matter about Lu Rong best, so Xie Chengze had absolutely nothing to do with Lu Rong.


    However, he is very clear about the relationship between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Your majesty¡­¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t bother to explain this time: ¡°I need an heir.¡±


    Zhou Xueya was speechless.


    In fact, if Lu Yanzhou is sincere to his majesty, his majesty will make the right choice.


    Since taking Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse, Zhou Xueya has always been concerned about Xie Chengze¡¯s body, and even found a doctor from outside the palace to treat Xie Chengze.


    All the doctors felt that Xie Chengze won¡¯t live long.


    At that time, he was worried that Lu Yanzhou would be malicious to Xie Chengze, or that if the two of them were together every day, it would affect Xie Chengze¡¯s condition. However¡­Lu Yanzhou cared more about Xie Chengze than he did. Xie Chengze was also well taken care of when he was with Lu Yanzhou, leaving him speechless.


    And now¡­if Lu Rong is crowned empress, Lu Rong¡¯s child will call Xie Chengze emperor father. In the future, when this child succeeds, the empress dowager in the palace will surely enjoy her old age as his imperial grandmother, and Xie Chengze¡¯s confidants will also be reused.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I always only make the choice that is best for me.¡±


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your majesty, didn¡¯t you say that the Lu family has an immortal medicine that can cure you? If your illness is cured¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I like men.¡±


    Zhou Xueya left dizzy again.


    After Xie Chengze dealt with Zhou Xueya, he went back to rest.


    With Lu Yanzhou¡¯s help, his life is much more comfortable now than when he was in charge of the country.


    In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the enthronement ceremony.


    Lu Yanzhou is not in a good mood these days.


    He had been receiving stable merits before, but he was quite busy these few days. Because of the great changes in the court, many things were suspended, and his merits were gone, that¡¯s why he couldn¡¯t gather enough merits to treat Xie Chengze.


    The enthronement ceremony was very busy and tiring, he wondered if Xie Chengze would be tired.


    Out of worry, Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to go to bed early that night.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± It feels quite good to be treated like a porcelain doll?


    On the day of enthronement, Xie Chengze had to wear heavy clothes to attend the ceremony. He was busy all day, during which Lu Yanzhou kept staring at him, and whenever there was a chance, he would send a chair over, making Xie Chengze sit on the chair to rest. He was always beside him, fanning him to dissipate the heat, making Xie Chengze not know whether to laugh or cry.


    It was alright at first, but then Lu Rong also came¡­Lu Rong was also standing by his side!


    The phoenix crown and robe on Lu Rong¡¯s body were much heavier than his dragon robe.


    Xie Chengze was embarrassed to sit down and was looking at Lu Rong, so he asked her: ¡°Seventh sister, do you want to take a rest?¡±


    ¡°Your majesty, the courtier is not tired.¡± Lu Rong said. She was already tall, and she carried a twenty-pound baby back and forth every day on weekdays. This weight on her body was nothing to her.


    But Xie Chengze¡­


    She looked at Xie Chengze¡¯s pale face and rouge-painted lips, and she felt some maternal love: ¡°Your majesty, sit down and have a good rest. I¡¯m okay.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± the way Lu Rong was looking at him seem wrong¡­


    But today¡¯s Lu Rong is really pretty.


    Lu Rong is much older than Xie Chengze. She is already twenty-eight this year, but a woman of this age is still young and has a good temperament.


    After being skillfully dressed by the palace people, the ordinary-looking Lu Rong looks dignified and graceful, with the demeanor of a mother who the world respects, making people afraid to look directly at her.


    Her temperament made her far more able to support this court dress than those thin and petite women. She wasn¡¯t timid at all, she looked as if she disdained the world.


    The courtiers only had to take a look at her from a distance and knew that this woman was not simple. She was capable of taking on important matters, no wonder his majesty liked her.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what other people thought. He had already asked someone to bring a stool to Lu Rong.


    He was negligent just now, it seems as if he dislikes his sister, so he have to make up for it.


    Alas, he didn¡¯t think about it before, so he can¡¯t be blamed. Lu Rong is much stronger than Xie Chengze after all.


    Official from the Ministry of Rite: ¡°¡­¡± This is the first time they saw someone sit down and rest at the enthronement ceremony¡­


    But what about it? The matter of his majesty¡¯s heart condition has been spread all over the place. If his majesty is not allowed to rest, what would they do if something happened during the enthronement ceremony?


    Fortunately, his majesty appointed the crown prince early, otherwise they would really panic if something really happened suddenly to his majesty.


    The enthronement ceremony finally ended perfectly.


    On this day, Xie Chengze sealed the Empress and Crown Prince, pardoned the whole world and exempted some places from taxes.


    Then¡­Lu Yanzhou realized that his merits were enough.


    Thank goodness! Tonight, he will be able to cure Xie Chengze¡¯s body and restore Xie Chengze¡¯s health!


    So, returning to the emperor¡¯s bedchamber with Xie Chengze that night, Lu Yanzhou immediately took out a sugar ball he made for Xie Chengze¡¯s sweet mouth, and said to Xie Chengze: ¡°Your majesty, didn¡¯t I tell you that my ancestors passed down a elixir? This is it. As long as you eat it, all illnesses will be cured.¡±


    Xie Chengze has been busy all day today, so he is really tired, and his heart feels very uncomfortable.


    He just wanted to rest, but Lu Yanzhou suddenly gave him a so-called elixir¡­


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what to say.


    This thing is obviously the same as the sugar ball that Lu Yanzhou gave him every time he finished taking medicine!


    And¡­Although he showed a lot of trust in Lu Yanzhou and would agree no matter what Lu Yanzhou said, he had actually arranged for people to watch Lu Yanzhou all the time.


    Lu Yanzhou has never had any contact with outsiders in the past few days, he has been staying by his side all the time today.


    Where did he get the ¡®elixir¡¯?


    What exactly does Lu Yanzhou want to do? Make fun of him?


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou puzzled: ¡°Will I really recover if I eat it?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Lu Yanzhou was certain.


    He is already treating Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze will definitely recover soon.


    For this, Lu Yanzhou had indescribable expectations.


    Not to mention anything else, let¡¯s just talk about how Xie Chengze teased him every day in the past few months and most of the time he could only hold back¡­


    He wanted to punish Xie Chengze severely!


    What¡¯s more¡­Xie Chengze ascended the throne today, his appearance in the dragon robe is very alluring.


    Xie Chengze is still wearing the dragon robe! If he can overwhelm the emperor¡­it will be really exciting.


    Of course, the premise is that Xie Chengze recovers.


    Otherwise, Xie Chengze has been tired for so long today, he wouldn¡¯t dare to touch Xie Chengze at all.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Eat it quickly.¡± Lu Yanzhou stuffed the sugar ball into Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth.


    In fact, he should make up a better reason, at least he should choose a better prop.


    But in the past few worlds, Xie Chengze got better for no reason and didn¡¯t get to the bottom of it. Now there¡¯s a reason, that is already very good.


    Xie Chengze only felt a sweetness in his mouth, and then Lu Yanzhou kissed him with a bit of aggression.


    He had never seen Lu Yanzhou like this before.


    Lu Yanzhou wouldn¡¯t want to kill him, would he?

 CH 97

    Xie Chengze is very clear about his physical condition.


    He has a heart condition, so he can¡¯t do strenuous exercise such as running and jumping at all. Apart from these, other intense things will also make his heart beat faster, which is very uncomfortable.


    He¡¯s had attacks like this before.


    Lu Yanzhou had always cared about him before, even stopping him from walking faster, but now¡­


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s actions were really a bit ruthless.


    He was tired all day today, and he doesn¡¯t feel very good now, so he would definitely not be able to bear such strenuous exercise!


    What exactly does Lu Yanzhou want to do?


    Everything that needs him to do has been done, so Lu Yanzhou wants him to die?


    Xie Chengze thought of what happened the day King Rui besieged the East Palace.


    At that time, Lu Yanzhou¡­killed King Rui without any hesitation.


    According to the situation he investigated, Lu Yanzhou helped King Rui a lot in the past two years and treated King Rui very well. If it wasn¡¯t for this, King Rui wouldn¡¯t have trusted him so much.


    Then, what happened?


    Lu Yanzhou betrayed King Rui without hesitation.


    That day when Lu Yanzhou walked towards King Rui, King Rui¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, and then he was killed.


    At the moment of his death, King Rui clearly couldn¡¯t believe it, he didn¡¯t understand how Lu Yanzhou could kill him.


    But Lu Yanzhou still did it!


    For Lu Yanzhou, perhaps the most important thing is revenge.


    Under such circumstances, how could Lu Yanzhou fall in love with the son of the person who killed his family?


    Falling in love at first sight and then being obedient to him? It¡¯s impossible for such a thing to happen!


    He¡¯s afraid that everything Lu Yanzhou did was only an act.


    He ascended the throne today and has made Lu Rong the empress, and the child with the blood of the Lu family has become the crown prince¡­


    Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t need him anymore, so he wants him dead?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t intend to coax him before he died? Just a candy ball and trick him that it was an elixir?


    But, what¡¯s with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hobby? Let him die on the bed¡­Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou afraid that he will feel uncomfortable when he thinks about it in the future?


    Although Lu Yanzhou¡¯s two cousins-in-law are in charge of guarding the capital, the palace is still under Xie Chengze¡¯s control.


    Xie Chengze knew that if he called someone at this moment, it would not be difficult to catch Lu Yanzhou.


    But he didn¡¯t want to shout.


    Besides, he won¡¯t live long.


    Hugging Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze said, ¡®faster.¡¯


    In the past few months, every time though he was moaning, he was not very happy.


    Better to enjoy it before he dies.


    Well, if he died, it would be even better if Lu Yanzhou was scared and couldn¡¯t touch others!


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze bit Lu Yanzhou¡¯s shoulder.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He is already very fast, but Xie Chengze still thinks that it was too slow?


    He shouldn¡¯t go so fast, okay!


    But Xie Chengze asked for this¡­then, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s speed accelerated.


    Xie Chengze only felt that he was a little breathless, like a dying fish, he could only open his mouth to breathe hard.


    Then, he became fierce. He grabbed Lu Yanzhou tightly and looked at Lu Yanzhou with wide eyes: ¡°Jizhi, I like you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Who can stand this!


    He couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, but Xie Chengze was still talking: ¡°The time I was with you was the happiest time I¡¯ve ever lived.¡±


    Xie Chengze wanted to say everything that should be said, so that he will not have no opportunity to say it in the future: ¡°For me, you are the most important person in this world.¡±


    Xie Chengze was short of breath and spoke intermittently, but he still didn¡¯t stop: ¡°If I could meet you sooner¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how much he had said.


    He only knew that he was looking at Lu Yanzhou all the time. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body was covered with sweat, his face was expressionless, his eyes were fierce, and his movements were very, very fast¡­


    Xie Chengze looked at him, then fainted.


    His death was¡­well worth it.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to slap himself.


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s heart condition has healed, he has not exercised all year round and his health is poor, and he was very tired today.


    No matter how enthusiastic Xie Chengze is, he should restrain himself. Why did he listen to Xie Chengze?


    If he didn¡¯t have a little medical skills and knew that Xie Chengze was fine, and he was just a little tired and fainted, he would be in a hurry to find an imperial physician right now, then when the time comes¡­


    Lu Yanzhou covered his face and started to clean the bed.


    In the end¡­this is the first day he and Xie Chengze stay in this bedroom, so he couldn¡¯t find a change of sheets for a while¡­


    Lu Yanzhou could only go to the people waiting outside the door and ask them to bring him various things.


    After finally tidying up, Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze and fell asleep. However, they didn¡¯t sleep for long before the old eunuch next to Xie Chengze came.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked in a low voice.


    ¡°His majesty has to go to morning court.¡± Seeing Lu Yanzhou lying on the dragon bed, the old eunuch didn¡¯t even give him an extra look.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°his majesty was tired yesterday, dimiss today¡¯s morning court.¡±


    Although Xie Chengze¡¯s heart condition has healed, his body still needs to be taken care of, so as not to tire him out.


    Dismiss morning court.


    Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, the old eunuch nodded and went out. Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze and continued to sleep.


    As a result, he fell asleep again. It was already light out but Xie Chengze was still sleeping.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help kissing him a few times.


    Xie Chengze pushed him away, turned over and continued to sleep.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt uncomfortable lying down, so he simply got up, went outside to find a place to do a set of punches, and then went to the imperial dining room to ask to make some nutritious food for Xie Chengze.


    He must force Xie Chengze to exercise well in the future. What happened last night must never happen again.


    Lu Yanzhou was staying in the imperial dining room, so he didn¡¯t know that Zhou Xueya came as soon as he left.


    A few days ago, Zhou Xueya found a very famous doctor among the people. He tried his best to invite him here, wanting this doctor to give Xie Chengze a diagnosis and treatment.


    Unusually, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry, and he would ask Xie Chengze for instructions first, and then ask the doctor to come see Xie Chengze after he agreed.


    However, Xie Chengze felt a little uncomfortable when he returned to the bedchamber yesterday, and he still didn¡¯t wake up today¡­He was very worried, so he called the doctor in advance.


    Led by the old eunuch beside Xie Chengze, Zhou Xueya and the doctor came to the gate of the emperor¡¯s bedroom.


    The doctor came from an ordinary family, so when he learned that he was going to see the emperor, he was already in a state of panic, and now that he entered the palace, he dared not even breathe.


    The old eunuch was still the calmest. He said after entering the bedroom: ¡°Your majesty, Lord Zhou is asking to see you.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t respond at all.


    The old eunuch changed his face and called out a few more times: ¡°Your majesty, your majesty?¡±


    Xie Chengze still didn¡¯t respond.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the emperor?¡± Zhou Xueya was also anxious at this time and asked loudly outside.


    Fortunately, at this time, Xie Chengze¡¯s voice finally sounded: ¡°So noisy!¡±


    Xie Chengze was puzzled. He is dead, why are there still people talking in his ear and calling him?


    Can¡¯t they just let him lie down?


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze opened his eyes.


    He saw the bright yellow bed curtain and also saw the wrinkled old eunuch beside him.


    The old eunuch saw that Xie Chengze had woken up, his face was also rosy, so he finally heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart was not completely relaxed ¡ª Xie Chengze¡¯s voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red¡­ ¡°Your majesty, Lord Zhou asked to see you, he brought a doctor to see you¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°What time is it?¡±


    ¡°Your majesty, it¡¯s past noon.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s Lu Yanzhou?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Young master Lu went to the imperial dining room.¡±


    Everything in front of him was extremely real. After thinking about it, Xie Chengze finally realized one thing ¨C he might¡­not have die.


    How could he not be dead? Last night he clearly felt that he couldn¡¯t breathe.


    As for why he couldn¡¯t breath¡­such an extreme experience, ahem¡­it feels good.


    ¡°Your majesty?¡± Seeing that Xie Chengze was in a daze, the old eunuch called out again.


    Some parts of Xie Chengze¡¯s body were uncomfortable and aching, but his heart didn¡¯t feel any discomfort¡­Thinking of the old eunuch saying that Zhou Xueya had brought a doctor¡­he said a little dazedly, ¡°Let the doctor take a look at me.¡±


    Before Lu Yanzhou left, he dressed Xie Chengze in his inner clothes. Xie Chengze lay on the bed, asking the doctor to check his pulse.


    The doctor took Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse for a long time, his whole body trembling.


    Zhou Xueya, who followed in, was anxious: ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s wrong with his majesty?¡±


    The doctor trembled: ¡°Your majesty, no¡­nothing¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhou Xueya was even more anxious.


    But the doctor still faltered and didn¡¯t speak.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t stand it anymore: ¡°Doctor, don¡¯t be nervous. If there¡¯s anything, just tell me, I won¡¯t blame you.¡±


    Xie Chengze spoke slowly, with a calm voice, strangely convincing. The doctor finally became less nervous and then said: ¡°Your majesty is fine, but you¡¯re a bit indulgent and need to rest¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡±


    What¡¯s the matter with you, doctor? You don¡¯t talk about such a serious heart condition but talk about this?


    Xie Chengze coughed lightly, then asked in an unusual voice, ¡°What else?¡±


    ¡°What else? There are no other major problems, but your majesty is a little weak.¡± The doctor was trembling. Because the emperor¡¯s body was very weak, he could not stand such a toss.


    The most important thing is¡­who exactly tosses emperor? Did he know something great?


    He¡¯s just a little weak? Xie Chengze felt that something was wrong, but he stabilized his expression and retracted his hand to feel his pulse.


    His pulse was very strong, completely different from before.


    Xie Chengze looked at Zhou Xueya: ¡°Lord Zhou, come and feel my pulse.¡±


    Zhou Xueya felt Xie Chengze¡¯s pulse too. The more he felt, the more confused he became ¡ª where did the heart condition go?


    Several people looked at each other, and finally Xie Chengze said: ¡°Lord Zhou, you send this doctor to the imperial hospital and ask him to prescribe some medicine for me¡­By the way, call some imperial physicians over.¡±


    He didn¡¯t die after being so fierce¡­Could it be that his illness was really cured by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sugar ball?


    Zhou Xueya ran to send the person to the imperial hospital, and then brought several imperial physicians.


    Among the several imperial physicians, only one had treated Xie Chengze before, but they all knew that Xie Chengze had a heart condition ¡ª Previously, King Rui yelled loudly, so many people heard it!


    And these days, the Supreme Emperor has not said much.


    They all thought that Zhou Xueya was in such a hurry because something had happened to Xie Chengze, so they were all in a panic too.


    As a result, when they check Xie Chengze¡­


    What about his heart condition? Where did the heart condition come from?


    It¡¯s just that his majesty¡¯s body is a little weak!


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± These people are very courageous, they all say one by one that he is just weak.


    Of course, he was indeed a little weak, after all he passed out last night.


    Did Lu Yanzhou get scared after encountering such a thing?


    Alas, he doesn¡¯t even want to see Lu Yanzhou at the moment.


    What did he say last night? He even urged Lu Yanzhou to be faster, and then forced himself to faint!


    Lu Yanzhou will definitely make fun of him!


    Wait, if Lu Yanzhou really cured him, it means that what Lu Yanzhou said to him before is true, Lu Yanzhou should¡­really like him.


    Xie Chengze froze in place, all kinds of emotions rushed up, and then he immediately looked at Zhou Xueya: ¡°Lord Zhou, the people around King Rui are still under arrest? Interrogate them well, I want to know everything about King Rui and Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    He is jealous!


    T/N: Well, Xie Chengze¡¯s vinegar jar is ready and open. The smell is coming out! Take cover!

 CH 98

    Previously, he felt that he would not live long, so Xie Chengze deliberately did not investigate many things, so as not to feel overwhelmed by knowing.


    Neither deaf nor mute and not a family member1Someone that pretends not to know about the other trouble/fault/problem/flaw, he was in this state at that time.


    But now he is in good health!


    Even if he¡¯s a little weak, if he pays more attention to his health in the future, he will still have decades to live!


    That being the case, he must investigate clearly what Lu Yanzhou did, especially the matter between Lu Yanzhou and King Rui.


    If Lu Yanzhou and King Rui really had a relationship¡­Xie Chengze now has the urge to lock Lu Yanzhou up.


    By the way, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s previous experience in Jiangnan must also be investigated. He needs to find out where Lu Yanzhou learned those skills and whether he has used them on others.


    Thinking that Lu Yanzhou might have had someone else before, Xie Chengze clenched his fists tighter and tighter.


    However, although his mood fluctuated, Xie Chengze¡¯s expression remained calm.


    After he ordered Zhou Xueya, he dismissed those imperial physicians who had not treated him before leave, leaving only Imperial Physician Hu who had been treating him, the old eunuch by his side, and Zhou Xueya who had not left even though he had received the order.


    Only then did Xie Chengze ask Imperial Physician Hu: ¡°Is my heart condition really cured?¡±


    Imperial Physician Hu said: ¡°Your majesty, I can¡¯t see anything wrong with your body now.¡± He was a little confused at the moment. He helped take care of the emperor¡¯s body since he was a child, how did he suddenly recover?


    Xie Chengze was a little dazed when he heard the words too.


    What he ate yesterday, wouldn¡¯t really be a real elixir, right?


    But that taste is clearly a sugar ball!


    ¡°Your majesty? Are you in good health?¡± Zhou Xueya couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°I should have recovered,¡± Xie Chengze said with a calm face, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the elixir handed down by the Lu family to be really useful.¡±


    Zhou Xueya, old eunuch, and imperial physician Hu: ¡°¡­¡± Is there such a miraculous thing?!


    ¡°Others don¡¯t know about this matter, so don¡¯t say anything.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Yes, your majesty.¡± The three immediately responded.


    Just as he was talking, a guard came in quietly: ¡°Your majesty, Lord Lu is coming.¡±


    This guard is the person Xie Chengze arranged to keep an eye on Lu Yanzhou. He will always inform Xie Chengze of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s whereabouts.


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze almost couldn¡¯t control his expression.


    Now he really wants to see Lu Yanzhou, but also doesn¡¯t want to see Lu Yanzhou too¡­


    Asking for pleasure but making himself faint¡­


    Of course, before he finished struggling, Lu Yanzhou came in.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze had slept for too long, so he had already decided to wake Xie Chengze up even if Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t woken up. Now that Xie Chengze has woken up, it was perfect: ¡°Your majesty, are you awake? Let¡¯s eat something first.¡±


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°What¡¯s there?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all your favorite food¡­you found an imperial physician?¡± Lu Yanzhou only saw the imperial physician next to him at this time.


    Xie Chengze has experienced strong winds and waves, so his face did not change at this time: ¡°Mm, I feel a little uncomfortable in the back.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked embarrassed: ¡°¡­I was reckless yesterday¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Lu Yanzhou was actually quite sensible, after all, he still has to blame himself for fainting.


    Speaking of it¡­At first he didn¡¯t really want to see Lu Yanzhou because he was afraid of embarrassment, but now that Lu Yanzhou looked embarrassed, he suddenly felt that it didn¡¯t matter.


    Isn¡¯t he just saying some sweet words? Lu Yanzhou brought him water to wash his feet!


    ¡°Ahem¡­Imperial Physician Hu, how is his majesty¡¯s health?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Imperial Physician Hu.


    Although Imperial Physician Hu has experienced a lot of wind and waves, he still can hardly bear to hear the conversation between the two ¡ª His majesty is the one below, who seems to be¡­very active?


    His beard was shaking: ¡°His majesty is fine.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Lu Yanzhou took out the food.


    Xie Chengze chased others away without hesitation: ¡°You go out first.¡±


    Everyone knows who he were referring to, so Zhou Xueya and others left quickly.


    Only Lu Yanzhou was left in the bedroom. Xie Chengze said: ¡°The medicine you gave me yesterday is very effective, I am already in good health today.¡±


    ¡°Mm. If you exercise more in the future, your body will get better and better.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou deeply. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression was no different from before, he still spoke very sincerely.


    He always felt that Lu Yanzhou was telling lies, but if Lu Yanzhou really wanted to lie to him, there was no need to cure him.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°My imperial father ordered that the whole Lu family be executed, don¡¯t you hate me?¡±


    ¡°You are you, your father is your father, I can tell the difference.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. Xie Chengze was only three years old then!


    ¡°Then you killed King Rui?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°He wants to kill you, why can¡¯t I kill him?¡±


    So Lu Yanzhou killed King Rui because King Rui wanted to kill him? Xie Chengze continued asking: ¡°If you are with me, the blood of the Lu family will end, are you okay with that?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Isn¡¯t your bloodline also end? And I have several older sisters.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    He didn¡¯t know how his body got better.


    He only knew that at this moment, his heart seemed to be filled with honey.


    He said a lot of things last night, both sincere and calculating, he wanted Lu Yanzhou to remember him.


    But now, all he has left is his sincerity: ¡°Jizhi, is everything you told me before true?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡± Lu Yanzhou answered without hesitation.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Jizhi, why are you so nice, I can¡¯t wait to bring you to my side all the time.¡±


    ¡°Then take me with you.¡± Lu Yanzhou responded immediately.


    Xie Chengze laughed and began to eat the food Lu Yanzhou brought him.


    He was in a very good mood, he even felt rejuvenated.


    He has indeed gained a new life. His future life is still very long and he can be with Lu Yanzhou for a long time.


    Lu Yanzhou said at this moment: ¡°Your majesty¡­I¡¯ll call you AZe. AZe, people can¡¯t be too greedy, you still have to restrain yourself in the future, we can¡¯t be like last night¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze stuffed a piece of meat into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mouth.


    Lu Yanzhou really mentions the pot that doesn¡¯t boil2To touch a sore spot; To talk about somebody¡¯s weak point!


    This kind of dark history¡­He never wants to mention it again in his life!


    As for last night¡­When his body recovers, that was bound to be his future shame!


    Of course, before that, what kind of history did Lu Yanzhou have, he must find out!


    Zhou Xueya was very efficient and sent Xie Chengze the results of the interrogation the next day.


    King Rui died suddenly and Xie Chengze was busy with his ascension to the throne afterwards, so he never interrogated King Rui¡¯s confidantes and locked them up all the time.


    After being imprisoned for such a long time, King Rui¡¯s confidantes were already scared out of their wits, and since King Rui was dead, no one would come to rescue them¡­During Zhou Xueya¡¯s interrogation, they said everything they knew.


    These people also knew a little about Lu Yanzhou, they knew that this person was interested in their prince, and the prince disliked him very much.


    As for the rest, there is nothing.


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Lord Lu has been with King Rui for two years but he hasn¡¯t done much in total. King Rui has indeed told people about Lord Lu¡¯s interest in him, but the two of them rarely meet and they only meet occasionally in teahouses¡­¡±


    Zhou Xueya had been very wary of Lu Yanzhou some time ago, so he kept staring at Lu Yanzhou. After watching him, he found that Lu Yanzhou was very talented.


    Not to mention things like waterwheels, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s desire to win over officials is almost a matter of his fingertips ¨C for some reason, everyone always tends to have a good impression of him.


    Such a capable person, after working with King Rui for two years, he accomplished so little¡­Well, it might not be a small thing for others, but it gave him the feeling that Lu Yanzhou was passively sabotaging his work.


    He also said that he likes King Rui¡­How does Lu Yanzhou treat his majesty and how does he treat King Rui? This is definitely not called liking King Rui.


    ¡°I see.¡± Said Xie Chengze. After hearing what Zhou Xueya said, he also felt that Lu Yanzhou had no sincerity towards King Rui.


    With Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability to coax people, if he really likes King Rui, he can definitely take King Rui down.


    Zhou Xueya looked up at Xie Chengze, saw Xie Chengze¡¯s calm appearance, and admired Xie Chengze more.


    He didn¡¯t believe his majesty¡¯s words before¡­


    What his majesty said is true!


    Thinking of this, Zhou Xueya said again: ¡°Your majesty, I still have something to say.¡±


    ¡°Tell me.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your majesty, our spies at the border sent back the news that Lord Lu sent the money from the Lu family to the border and he indeed used it for the soldiers, but most of it was given to the elderly and disabled and those that have a difficult life. As for those who have lost their lives, the money was sent to their families¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He knew that the Lu family should have left a lot of money, and he also felt that Lu Yanzhou must have bought many people with this money.


    In the end¡­Lu Yanzhou really used the money to help the poor?


    Zhou Xueya said: ¡°Your majesty, Lord Lu has done many good deeds.¡±


    When Zhou Xueya learned about this, he was shocked!


    He didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to be so kind.


    With so much money in the Lu family, he actually gave away all of it!


    Why did he doubt such a good man before?


    At this moment, Zhou Xueya felt that Lu Yanzhou should have nothing to do with the attack on the Supreme Emperor. It was probably done by Lu Rong and the others. At that time, Lu Yanzhou was clearly focused on his majesty.


    Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yanzhou has done so much, but it¡¯s indeed his majesty who benefited in the end.


    The Supreme Emperor was abolished, King Rui died, and his majesty ascended the throne, and now his health is also good.


    As for the matter between his majesty and Lu Yanzhou¡­His majesty has always been indifferent to women, so he may really like men.


    Well, his majesty is obviously the one who took the initiative¡­


    Xie Chengze was very calm: ¡°I know, didn¡¯t I tell you already?¡±


    Zhou Xueya: ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s right, so his majesty really devised battle plans in the tent3planning ahead of time.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Okay, you send someone to Jiangnan to investigate Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past affairs carefully. In addition¡­you arrange a few more people to watch Lu Yanzhou, I want to know all his whereabouts.¡±


    ¡°Yes, your majesty!¡± Zhou Xueya agreed. He suddenly pity Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou is completely under his majesty¡¯s control!


    On the other hand, Lu Rong also felt pity for Xie Chengze when she heard that Xie Chengze failed to get out of bed on the first day after ascending the throne. The imperial physician even prescribed tonics for him because of his weak body.


    Xie Chengze has always been bullied by her brother!

 CH 99

    Xie Chengze¡¯s health has recovered, so Lu Yanzhou no longer needs to pay attention to his physical condition all the time as before. He started to leave the palace every day.


    The Lu family has been redressed, and Lu Yanzhou also inherited the Lu family¡¯s title, becoming the young Duke Lu¡­he has many things to do.


    The main thing he does is to make money and spend it.


    To get this small world out of Black Tortoise¡¯s control, he needs a lot of merit.


    He also wants to help more people.


    The original owner died more than two years later, so Lu Yanzhou knew many things that happened in these two years.


    Previously, his mind was on the spring exam, revenge, and protecting Xie Chengze, but he didn¡¯t have to worry about these things now, then¡­


    There was a drought in a certain place and the officials kept it secret, but Lu Yanzhou discovered it in advance!


    A certain official did a lot of dirty things in private and the sufferer had nowhere to turn, so Lu Yanzhou took the sufferer to Dali Temple!


    A certain group was crazy and brought many abducted children to the capital, before they even entered the city, they were taken by Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡­


    For half a month, Lu Yanzhou did a lot of things, helping people everywhere non-stop.


    While Xie Chengze was dealing with these matters, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh ¡ª isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart too good?


    Recently, he also felt that things like his father¡¯s accident should have been planned by Lu Rong and had nothing to do with Lu Yanzhou.


    Judging from the investigation¡­Lu Qingshan became a daoist priest a few years ago. All he wanted was to get close to his father and take revenge, at that time, Lu Yanzhou was still Jiangnan.


    Looking at it this way, Lu Yanzhou is actually quite innocent. After falling in love with his enemy¡¯s son, he obviously has the ability to rebel and ascend the throne, but in the end he gave up all of it.


    What a mind full of love and affection.


    He should treat Lu Yanzhou better!


    Xie Chengze went for a walk in the Imperial Garden after dealing with some official business that day.


    This was requested by Lu Yanzhou. Lu Yanzhou asked him to walk for at least half an hour every day on sunny days.


    While strolling, Xie Chengze was stopped by the empress dowager.


    Seeing the empress dowager, Xie Chengze was in a trance for a moment ¡ª he hadn¡¯t seen his mother in the past half a month since he took the throne.


    During the period before his ascension¡­he actually kept his mother isolated.


    At that time, he thought that he was going to die, and he was afraid that his mother would be punished if she offended Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong, so he suppressed her and didn¡¯t allow her to come out to offend others.


    As for after ascending the throne¡­isn¡¯t it because he¡¯s too busy?


    He has to deal with imperial court affairs, exercise, and get along with Lu Yanzhou¡­He feels that there is not enough time every day.


    Of course, there were other reasons why they didn¡¯t meet ¡ª he and his mother had rarely seen each other, he was used to it, and his mother didn¡¯t come to find him either.


    ¡°Imperial mother.¡± Xie Chengze greeted her.


    The empress dowager immediately said: ¡°I can¡¯t afford to be called imperial mother by your majesty!¡±


    Seeing Xie Chengze, the empress dowager anger burst out. She said a lot, but the main idea was¡­Lu Rong is not a good enough empress, Xie Chengze should abolish this empress, it¡¯s best to choose a woman from her natal family to be his empress.


    In fact, Lu Rong and Xie Chengze had nothing to do with each other, but not many people knew about it, at least not the empress dowager.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Imperial mother, I like her.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s so good about her?¡±


    ¡°Then what¡¯s wrong with her?¡± Xie Chengze asked. As far as he knew, Lu Rong was a good empress. Not only did she manage the people in the harem seriously, she also went to pay her respects to the empress dowager every day.


    The empress dowager said: ¡°There is no matchmaker to match¡­¡±


    ¡°Imperial mother is complaining about me?¡±


    The empress dowager froze.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Imperial mother, you are the most honorable woman in the world now. No matter who they are, they have to bow to you when they see you, but this is because I am the emperor¡­You have never been close to him, in fact, you keep pushing me away, why did you do it?¡±


    The empress dowager couldn¡¯t say anything. Xie Chengze continued: ¡°Uncle said that I am not in good health. You cannot rely on me but you can rely on him to be the empress dowager? If I lost when King Rui besieged the palace before, you may not even be able to keep your life now.¡±


    The emperor¡¯s imperial concubine had already died of illness. Xie Chengze knew that his mother was the one who did it. Seeing his mother in a daze, he continued: ¡°You are the empress dowager now, you can live as you want. You can go out of the palace secretly when you are free, or find some people to enter the palace to talk with you, it¡¯s all possible. Even if you want to find someone again, I can do it for you too. But if you wholeheartedly help uncle to renounce me, no one knows what will happen in the future.¡±


    Xie Chengze remembered that when he was a child, although his mother was very strict with him and her mood kept changing, she was not bad. However, when his health became worse and worse, his mother completely kept a distance from him.


    It doesn¡¯t matter if she kept her distance from him, but his mother always makes trouble for him.


    What¡¯s more¡­His health is not good, his subordinates like Zhou Xueya are so concerned about it, but what about his imperial mother? She never asks a question when they meet.


    The empress dowager left in a daze.


    Xie Chengze thought about it, and then went to the Supreme Emperor.


    He hadn¡¯t seen the Supreme Emperor for a while, and now that he saw him, he felt that the Supreme Emperor looked much older.


    Moreover, the Supreme Emperor can¡¯t talk at the moment.


    Xie Chengze wanted to say something, but he didn¡¯t say anything after seeing this situation.


    When the empress came to see the Supreme Emperor, she probably said everything that should be said.


    Just as Xie Chengze thought, Lu Rong met the Supreme Emperor specifically and brought Lu Qingshan along, and then told the Supreme Emperor everything Lu Yanzhou and them did, making the Supreme Emperor faint.


    After being so angry, the Supreme Emperor couldn¡¯t speak anymore¡­


    Not long after Xie Chengze returned to the palace, Lu Yanzhou came back with a box: ¡°AZe, guess what I brought back?¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou opened the box and took out a glass bowl: ¡°It¡¯s a glass bowl. We tried many times and finally made this one.¡±


    The firing of glass is completely different from the firing of traditional porcelain. Previously, Xie Chengze asked people to fire glass, but what came out were glass beads with different shapes with impurities.


    Lu Yanzhou tried for a long time before he could make a glass bowl, the cost required for this was really not small.


    Fortunately, this is meant to be sold as a luxury item.


    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful.¡± Xie Chengze liked this bowl very much.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°In the future, I will definitely make more beautiful ones for you!¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    Seeing that he smiled, Lu Yanzhou leaned over to kiss him, but Xie Chengze avoided him.


    Lu Yanzhou felt helpless: ¡°AZe¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze coughed lightly: ¡°You know what to do!¡± He thought that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like him and that being with him was just for revenge before, so Xie Chengze naturally had no demands on Lu Yanzhou at all.


    He was afraid that if he asked for too much, Lu Yanzhou would run away.


    However, the situation is different now. Now he is more and more sure that Lu Yanzhou likes him.


    Lu Yanzhou handed over all the waterwheels and so on to him, helped him ascend the throne, and wanted to be his empress¡­


    Lu Yanzhou attaches great importance to him, so he can naturally make demands with Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing Xie Chengze staring at him, Lu Yanzhou immediately said, ¡°AZe, I like you. I¡¯m happy every day with you¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze finally gave in.


    He said a lot of similar things on the night of his enthronement, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything, of course he had to make up for it!


    Well, more than what he said.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Alas, his AZe is too easy to coax. He forgave him with just a few sweet words.


    He originally thought that he would be left out for a few days after he fainted¡­


    Of course, Xie Chengze was reluctant to neglect Lu Yanzhou, but his heart still had a little pimple ¡ª did Lu Yanzhou have someone else before?


    As a result, the person who went to Jiangnan came back and told him that when Lu Yanzhou was in Jiangnan, he devoted himself to studying. There were no men or women around him.


    When he was in the capital, there was no one around Lu Yanzhou either.


    So¡­Lu Yanzhou is just extremely talented?


    That night, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°How do you know so much?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart skipped a beat, he could only make nonsense: ¡°I asked my sister for advice.¡± He did ask a little bit¡­Xie Chengze wouldn¡¯t ask Lu Rong, right?


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± I see.


    It can only be said that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s learning ability is really strong!


    And he had been blindly jealous for so long!


    Now that he looks back and thinks about it carefully, it was already really wonderful that he and Lu Yanzhou knew each other¡­Why did he think so much before? !


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t lie to him at all before, what he said was actually the truth!


    Luckily he didn¡¯t do anything at the time.


    Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s silence, Lu Yanzhou reflexively said some sweet words: ¡°AZe, in my last life, this life, and the next life, you are the only one!¡±


    Xie Chengze threw him down directly.


    His health is much better, he can avenge his shame!


    But¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s body is still not good enough to win¡­


    However, in the following days, his body became more and more healthy, and the country also became better and better.


    There is Duke Lu watching the civil and military affairs in the imperial court¡­the ministers in the imperial court didn¡¯t dare to do such things as corruption and bribery!


    It stands to reason that Lu Yanzhou cut off a lot of people¡¯s money, so everyone should hate him, but they can¡¯t hate him.


    Because Lu Yanzhou is really good at making money. He made a lot of things, they didn¡¯t know how much money he got back. 50% of the money went to the national treasury, 40% was used to help the poor, and the remaining 10% became the year-end bonus. They¡­they are working hard for the year-end bonus now!


    They couldn¡¯t help but sigh, Duke Lu is really a good man!


    His mansion was dilapidated but he never took money to repair it, instead he helped many people.


    In addition to being a good person, Duke Lu is also well known in the world for his talents.


    Whether it¡¯s training soldiers and fighting wars or dealing with the imperial court affairs, whether it¡¯s water conservancy or plague, Duke Lu understands everything. He is a rare all-rounder!


    They didn¡¯t know what his majesty did, but he made duke Lu give up his hatred and be so devoted to him. His method was really extraordinary!


    It¡¯s said that his majesty is ruthless, merciless, and skilled in controlling people, this statement should be true.


    What¡¯s more¡­Wasn¡¯t it said that his majesty has a heart condition? Years have passed¡­how could they only see that his majesty is healthier than them?


    T/N: Two extra and this world is done!

 CH 100

    Since Xie Chengze succeeded to the throne, Great Jin¡¯s people¡¯s lives have been getting better and better day by day.


    The imperial court spent money to build a water conservancy, built many waterwheels, wrote special agricultural books, and arranged for people to teach the people how to increase the yield of crops¡­Great Jin Dynasty¡¯s grains were harvested year after year!


    When the grain harvest is good, the common people are satisfied, they can¡¯t help but praise the one on the throne all day long.


    However, the ministers in the imperial court felt that the most powerful person was Duke Lu.


    The waterwheel was brought out by Lord Lu, and the money for the construction of the water conservancy was earned by Lord Lu. Even the agricultural book was edited by Lord Lu!


    Speaking of which¡­His majesty said that the agricultural book was written by Duke Lu, and that the book used to prevent and control the plague was also written by Duke Lu¡­They all thought it was the emperor who deliberately promoted Duke Lu and put gold on Duke Lu¡¯s face.


    Some even questioned it.


    However, Duke Lu immediately showed his talent in medical skills and farming ¨C some intractable diseases that even the imperial physicians could not cure, Duke Lu can cure. Duke Lu knows all about farming too!


    He really knows!


    He also knows more than this!


    In short, after a long time, the ministers in the imperial court lost their tempers for Duke Lu. No matter what shocking things Duke Lu made, they were used to it, their faces won¡¯t change.


    Duke Lu did a lot of things, in fact, more or less, they hurt the interests of officials in the imperial court. At one time, many people hated him, but after a long time, everyone stopped hating him.


    Duke Lu has been doing practical things for ten years. Although they can¡¯t do this, they admire him.


    Many people were influenced by Duke Lu and began to serve the people wholeheartedly like Duke Lu.


    In a blink of an eye, it has been eight years since Xie Chengze ascended the throne. Today, as soon as Xie Chengze came down to court, someone sent him to the empress palace.


    Lu Rong, the empress, is very competent. Not to mention managing the palace in an orderly manner, she has already given birth to two sons and two daughters for the ¡®imperial family¡¯.


    At first, Xie Chengze and Lu Rong rarely saw each other. Although they both lived in the palace, they did not interfere with each other.


    But later, Xie Chengze met his little crown prince by accident and was hugged by the little crown prince¡­He often went to Lu Rong¡¯s place to look after the child.


    The main reason is that he is too idle and has nothing else to do ¨C the people under him are very capable, and Lu Yanzhou helps, there are fewer and fewer things that need him to do.


    When he came to Lu Rong¡¯s place, Xie Chengze saw that Lu Rong was chasing her second child, the eldest princess who was only six years old this year.


    The eldest princess was very agile, so Lu Rong couldn¡¯t catch her after a while.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help laughing: ¡°Hahahaha!¡±


    Lu Rong: ¡°¡­¡±


    When the eldest princess saw Xie Chengze, she immediately ran towards Xie Chengze: ¡°Little uncle, save me!¡±


    Lu Rong¡¯s children were all brought up by Lu Rong and Lu Qingshan himself, and the two often took them out of the palace under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arrangement to meet ordinary people.


    The children all knew that Lu Qingshan was their real father.


    As for Xie Chengze, they called him ¡®imperial father¡¯ before others but ¡®little uncle¡¯ behind others. Of course, after many years, only the crown prince was brought before others.


    Hearing the eldest princess calling for help, Xie Chengze put away his smile and said to Lu Rong, ¡°Seventh sister, calm down¡­The child is still young, even if she makes a mistake, you can¡¯t beat her.¡±


    Lu Rong said: ¡°This child won¡¯t listen without a beating, she actually tricked her little brother into eating chili peppers!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­Is her little brother okay?¡±


    Lu Rong was helpless: ¡°his mouth is still swollen, he has been crying for a long time now.¡±


    The eldest princess said: ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose! It was uncle who said the chili was delicious, so I let him eat it.¡±


    Lu Rong glared at her: ¡°Then why don¡¯t you eat it yourself?¡±


    The eldest princess: ¡°¡­¡± She didn¡¯t dare!


    Then, Xie Chengze also reacted at this moment: ¡°Wait, I don¡¯t remember, how many peppers are there?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou got the peppers by accident, there were only a few of them in total. At that time, Lu Yanzhou dug out the seeds and planted them, then cooked hot pot with the outer skins for him to eat.


    The hot pot was really delicious, so much so that he couldn¡¯t forget it, but unfortunately, two small seedlings grew out of the pepper seeds planted, and in the end there were only about twenty peppers.


    In other words, it would take a long time for him to be able to eat chili to his heart¡¯s content.


    Now the eldest princess is even wreaking havoc on the chili peppers?


    Lu Rong said: ¡°She asked her younger brother to pick it. Her younger brother didn¡¯t know how to control himself, so he picked six at a time, wanting to share it with the family.¡± Lu Rong¡¯s youngest son was only three years old. He didn¡¯t even know that the peppers his uncle planted in the Imperial Garden couldn¡¯t be picked indiscriminately, and he even took six in one breath.


    That¡¯s enough for two hot pot meals for him! Xie Chengze sighed: ¡°Seventh sister, you can spank. Remember to hit where there¡¯s more meat so there won¡¯t be a wound¡­¡±


    The eldest princess wanted to cry but had no tears: ¡°Little uncle!¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Your uncle should have told you that you can¡¯t pick it randomly, who told you not to listen to him?¡±


    Seeing that the peppers were about to grow, Lu Yanzhou told Lu Rong that he would cook some dishes with peppers for them to eat.


    At that time, the eldest princess kept asking questions, so Lu Yanzhou also said that she couldn¡¯t pick it and that it would be used for cooking.


    In the end¡­the kid obviously didn¡¯t take it seriously.


    After that, the eldest princess was spanked by Lu Rong. Not to mention that the chili pepper is very precious¡­It¡¯s not right for her to coax her little brother to eat indiscriminately!


    In fact, Lu Rong didn¡¯t use much force, she just wanted to teach her a lesson, but the eldest princess was probably frightened and wanted to make Lu Rong feel bad, so she cried loudly.


    It wasn¡¯t until Lu Rong finished spanking that she breathed a sigh of relief and she stopped howling. There were no tears on her face.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze talks with Lu Rong for a bit.


    The Supreme Emperor passed away not long after Xie Chengze ascended the throne. Afterwards, the Empress Dowager heard some rumors such as ¡®the Supreme Emperor was actually killed by the Emperor¡¯, so she immediately packed her things and left the palace to worship the buddha.


    Of course, it¡¯s said that she was worshiping the buddha, but in fact the empress dowager is not a vegetarian. She has eaten and drank there in the past few years with a group of people holding her hands. She has lived a very happy life, she even occasionally wants to send someone to Xie Chengze¡¯s harem.


    Those people were stopped by Lu Rong.


    At first, Lu Rong thought that Xie Chengze had a heart condition and would not live for a few years, so she proposed to enter the palace, but later saw that Xie Chengze¡¯s body was getting stronger every year, so she regretted it for a while.


    She was afraid that Xie Chengze would want to marry a wife and have children after his recovery.


    At that time, she and her child will become stumbling blocks!


    However, she soon discovered that she was thinking too much.


    Although Xie Chengze is in good health, he still focuses on her younger brother and has no intention of marrying a wife and having children.


    Let¡¯s not talk about anything else, he still lets her brother handle all the important affairs in the court¡­Only Xie Chengze, a ¡®fatuous emperor¡¯ who is obsessed with beauty, can do it.


    Now her younger brother is under one person and over ten thousand¡­Oh, in fact, he isn¡¯t even under one person, he is very powerful. He does what he wants to do everyday, running outside the palace. What about Xie Chengze? He stayed in the palace every day, not to mention the maids by his side, there¡¯s not even a handsome little eunuch by his side.


    He must be under her brother¡¯s control!


    Xie Chengze did stay in the palace most of the time while Lu Yanzhou was out of the palace all day.


    But¡­not even a handsome eunuch around him was all arranged by Xie Chengze himself.


    Not only that, Lu Yanzhou was surrounded by Xie Chengze¡¯s people.


    Returning to the imperial study with the five peppers that were not eaten, Xie Chengze waited for Zhou Xueya, who came to report Lu Yanzhou¡¯s whereabouts yesterday.


    It was almost the same as before, another busy day, during which he had no contact with anyone.


    Xie Chengze was very satisfied.


    According to Xie Chengze¡¯s analysis of Lu Yanzhou after a long time, Lu Yanzhou¡­is a bit too kind!


    It¡¯s okay to be kind, but Lu Yanzhou loves him more than heaven. Because he likes him, he puts all revenge and everything aside, he doesn¡¯t want fame or fortune either.


    For things like waterwheels, they were all made by Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou felt that there was no need to tell others after he insisted on making them public.


    Xie Chengze has been working hard to help Lu Yanzhou manage his reputation.


    Of course, while helping Lu Yanzhou build his reputation, he also looked after Lu Yanzhou in an airtight manner.


    He believes that Lu Yanzhou will not betray him, but if he doesn¡¯t do it, someone will definitely follow Lu Yanzhou¡­Wasn¡¯t he also deliberately approaching Lu Yanzhou back then?


    After explaining some things to Zhou Xueya, Xie Chengze dismiss Zhou Xueya.


    Zhou Xueya left the palace and sighed.


    Alas, why did he feel that Lu Yanzhou had ulterior motives back then?


    This person is clearly able to rebel but didn¡¯t rebel, he even gave away his family¡¯s elixir, not to mention these years, he is busy every day to make the people live a better life.


    Such a person can be called sincere and trustworthy.


    It¡¯s his majesty¡­Don¡¯t look at his majesty who doesn¡¯t take any credit for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s achievements. In fact, he already has control of all the military power, and Lu Yanzhou¡¯s every move is also under his majesty¡¯s surveillance.


    His majesty is much more difficult to provoke than Lu Yanzhou.


    As for his majesty¡¯s liking for Lu Yanzhou, he can also understand. If he likes men, he will definitely like someone like Lu Yanzhou¡­


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze don¡¯t know much about Lu Rong and Zhou Xueya¡¯s brain supplements.


    They had a very happy life, but what they needed to struggle with was that Xie Chengze liked spicy food very much, but he would have diarrhea after eating it.


    By the way, Lu Yanzhou has been struggling with one thing recently: ¡°AZe, recently, many ministers of the imperial court seem to know about the relationship between the two of us.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou isn¡¯t interested in such things as showing off love. He always feels that it is enough for him to live a good life, there¡¯s no need to let others judge him.


    Now that more and more people know about his relationship with Xie Chengze, he feels a little uncomfortable.


    Of course, this is mainly because¡­Some people only know one thing and don¡¯t know the other. After discovering his relationship with Xie Chengze, they sympathize with him.


    Ahem, in the eyes of others, Xie Chengze has both sons and daughters, but he has no wives and concubines. Xie Chengze¡¯s behavior is like a scumbag¡­


    But he knew very well that those children of Xie Chengze were not Xie Chengze¡¯s at all!


    Xie Chengze is so wronged!


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°You don¡¯t want others to know about our relationship?¡±


    When Xie Chengze asked this question, he looked a little sad. Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°Of course not, I just don¡¯t want them to talk about you.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care, I want them to know that you are mine.¡± Xie Chengze smiled.


    Why did the courtiers know about his relationship with Lu Yanzhou? He deliberately guided them!


    He¡¯s afraid that some people will think that Lu Yanzhou is using his appearance to serve others. He has been helping Lu Yanzhou to build momentum these years, so that Duke Lu will be respected by others. After their relationship was known, no one would look down on Lu Yanzhou because of it.


    As for him being a bit of a scumbag in the eyes of others¡­It doesn¡¯t matter, Lu Yanzhou may even feel guilty because of it and treat him better.


    In short, he wanted to imprint his brand on Lu Yanzhou so that no one would covet Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback when he heard this.


    So actually Xie Chengze wants to make it public? That¡¯s fine¡­Since it¡¯s what Xie Chengze wants, so be it!


    But it¡¯s not good for Xie Chengze to be misunderstood all the time¡­Lu Yanzhou wondered if he should explain it to others.


    At least, after a hundred years, they must leave something behind to let future generations know that Xie Chengze is not a scumbag.


    T/N: Aye. I will hate to be the people that will study this Great Jin¡¯s history. After finding Lu Yanzhou clue, they will have to rewrite everything lmao

 CH 101

    In March 2022, a university¡¯s history department.


    The students in the history department have recently started to study the history of the Great Jin Dynasty. When they talk about the Great Jin Dynasty, everyone will inevitably think of Emperor Jinhe, Xie Chengze, and Duke Lu Yanzhou.


    These two men made many achievements. During their lifetime and after their death, countless people wrote poems and prose for them. The poems and proses handed down and sung through the ages amounted to thousands, and they were also compiled into a large book.


    By the way, since elementary school, there have been several poems and proses to memorize in the literature textbooks involving these two people.


    For various reasons¡­as long as anyone has been to school, they will know these two people.


    ¡°For the next lecture, the professor is going to talk about Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu!¡±


    ¡°I heard that our professor specializes in studying Duke Lu, he is also writing books about Duke Lu.¡±


    ¡°I wonder what the professor will tell us!¡±


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu have made so many achievements, especially Duke Lu, he is like a time traveler¡­There are too many things to talk about. If I ask senior sister, she can talk about those two for at least 2 weeks. Calculating it, that is like 8 classes.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a lot to talk about those two!¡±


    ¡­


    Before the class, the students in the history department started a discussion. At first they talked about the achievements of these two people, then they started talking about other things: ¡°By the way, the relationship between Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu, Is it true?¡±


    ¡°It should be true. It¡¯s said in the history books that Duke Lu spends nights in the palace every day.¡±


    ¡°That history book really¡­writes these two people too ambiguously, almost saying that these two people had an affair. They finally even wrote that they died on the same day and were buried together¡­¡±


    ¡°But¡­Didn¡¯t some people say that they only lived in the palace because they had a good relationship, and Duke Lu didn¡¯t repair his own mansion yet for the common people¡¯s interest?¡±


    ¡°Do you believe that kind of nonsense?¡±


    ¡°The official history was written that way, but the unofficial history at the time also said that they have a relationship. The two of them are absolutely not innocent.¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou are a couple, this is almost something that has been stamped.


    Xie Chengze has been in power for thirty years, according to historical records, he was accompanied by Lu Yanzhou every day.


    Not to mention after the abdication, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou also traveled together, mingling with people incognito and left many legends all over the country.


    The TV series ¡°The Record of the Supreme Emperor¡¯s Incognito¡± was a huge hit back then. When it premiered, the whole town overturned.


    Even though the TV series is a real drama, it still makes people feel that the relationship between these two people is unusual. In various literary works, they are a sure-fire couple.


    So, of course, there must be a little abuse.


    After all, Emperor Jinhe is a scumbag. Although he is inseparable from Duke Lu, he still married Duke Lu¡¯s sister. They even have two sons and two daughters.


    It¡¯s also for this reason that even though the official history has written the two of them as extremely ambiguous, some people still think that they have nothing to do with each other.


    At this moment, a boy in the class said: ¡°Can you stop talking nonsense? It¡¯s just two brother-in-laws having a good relationship, what are you even saying!¡±


    This boy himself has no interest in history and was transferred to the History Department. As a man, he is also very disgusted with the fact that men fall in love with other men, he has difficulty accepting it.


    After he finished speaking, seeing that the people around him were silent, he continued: ¡°Duke Lu has done so many things that benefit the country and the people, how many people worship him? Why do you insist on making him seem like a person who serves other men?¡±


    When the students in the class heard this, they also saw the professor come in before they had time to say anything.


    The professor took a look at the male student and said directly: ¡°Students, you should also know that what we are going to talk about today is about Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu. When talking about these two people, their emotional life cannot be avoided¡­Here, I can say responsibly that the relationship between these two people is real. Regardless of sexual orientation, Duke Lu has made so many achievements, no one can describe him as ¡®serving other men¡¯!¡±


    The male classmate was embarrassed when he heard the words.


    The professor continued: ¡°Everyone should know that I specialize in studying Lu Yanzhou. Since I study him, I will talk about him first. Lu Yanzhou always appears in our textbooks. There are too many because many people have studied him. At first, I didn¡¯t feel much about him, until one time, I saw a record in an ancient book collected in a certain museum. I¡¯ll enlarge the photo for you to see¡­¡±


    A picture was projected on the screen, which was a page of an ancient book. The professor continues: ¡°The general meaning of this passage is that someone asked Duke Lu why he didn¡¯t marry a wife, and Duke Lu said that he already had someone who would accompany him for a lifetime¡­I was stunned when I saw it. At first, I was skeptical about the relationship between him and Emperor Jinhe, but after seeing this record, I knew it should be true. Later, out of curiosity, I paid more attention to him. The more I focus on him, the more I feel that Duke Lu is an amazing person¡­¡±


    The professor talked a lot, and while talking, he also complained about the destruction of many records at that time, and¡­In the early years, every museum hid its own research materials. If one wants to see them, they have to apply for various applications, that¡¯s why they could not find all the information in the first place.


    ¡°Actually, anyone who knows something about the Great Jin Dynasty¡¯s history knows that these two people are really a couple. It was fine when they were young, but in their later years, they never concealed it at all. They even said things like ¡®living together and dying together¡¯. It¡¯s because of this that there were rumors at the time that Emperor Jinhe¡¯s four children were not emperor Jinhe¡¯s at all¡± The professor said.


    Some students asked: ¡°Professor, Is Emperor Jinhe¡¯s children really Emperor Jinhe¡¯s?¡±


    The professor said: ¡°Regarding this, there is no conclusion in the academic circles. At that time, many people said that Emperor Jinhe¡¯s child were his empress and someone else children. The imperial family did not stop the spread of this rumor at the beginning. But later, Emperor Jinguang, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jinhe, disagreed with this and destroyed many relevant records, so there was no way to prove it.¡±


    That¡¯s it¡­the students were a little disappointed.


    The professor continued: ¡°The academic circle is still inclined to believe that those four children are Xie Chengze¡¯s. Don¡¯t just look at Duke Lu¡¯s outstanding talents, Emperor Jinhe is actually not simple either. His ministers and subordinates all evaluate him as ruthless and with great desire to control. Duke Lu has been favored all his life, under one man and over ten thousand, but he has never had any military power. No matter what he does, after finishing the hardest part at the beginning, he will hand it over to others¡­that is to say, he has worked so long but he has no real power in his hands.¡±


    The students were extremely disappointed when they heard the words.


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe must really like Duke Lu, but at that time, as an emperor, no one knew how much sincerity he had! And he also has the throne to pass on, so the children should be his.¡±


    At this time, some students couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Duke Lu has no wife, concubine, and children in his life, but Emperor Jinhe is like this¡­Emperor Jinhe is a scumbag!¡±


    The professor said: ¡°If it were in modern times, you can indeed say that.¡±


    The class passed quickly. When class ended, everyone started discussing again: ¡°Alas, Duke Lu is really pitiful. He was infatuated with Emperor Jinhe, but he met a heartless person.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Compared with other people who emperors¡¯ favor in history, his fate is quite good. It can be regarded that he grew old with the emperor.¡±


    ¡°But he is really pitiful¡­to meet such a scumbag as Emperor Jinhe!¡±


    ¡­


    Just now the professor talked about a lot of things about Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu. It was mentioned that Duke Lu is very good-looking and Emperor Jinhe was very unassured, so he always arranged many people to follow Duke Lu. No one was allowed to talk too much and get too close to Duke Lu.


    There are many unofficial stories about this. At that time, a well-known poet wrote a poem to complain about it. The general meaning of the poem was that he was very excited to see Duke Lu, but the people around him stopped him and did not allow him to approach Duke Lu¡­


    By the way, this poet is Duke Lu¡¯s brainless fan. He has written many poems praising Duke Lu, he is always full of praise for Duke Lu.


    Because of these descriptions¡­Duke Lu is recognized as the most beautiful man in history, and in all TV dramas about Duke Lu and Emperor Jinhe¡­Emperor Jinhe can be ugly but Duke Lu must be good-looking.


    Everyone also felt that Duke Lu must be the bottom one.


    ¡°Duke Lu really has a love brain! Emperor Jinhe¡¯s father killed his whole family but he still worked for Emperor Jinhe.¡±


    ¡°No one is perfect¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°I read a short story about him not long ago, it made me cry. Emperor Jinhe is really a big scumbag!¡±


    ¡­


    While everyone was talking, a person who took the time to swipe his mobile phone suddenly said: ¡°Fuck! A tomb was destroyed not long ago, they now decided to dig it. It turns out to be Emperor Jinhe¡¯s tomb!¡±


    Emperor Jinhe¡¯s tomb? Everyone was excited and wanted to know the result.


    According to historical records, Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu were buried together, it¡¯s unknown whether this is true or not.


    Just as they were thinking about this, they saw their professor in the group asking them to watch the live broadcast immediately, saying that he had rushed to the scene non-stop to witness history.


    When the students in the history department heard the news, they all watched the live broadcast. They were not the only ones who followed the live broadcast.


    This incident caused a sensation on the Internet!


    No way, Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu are too famous!


    Not to mention the things they did to benefit the country and the people¡­After the advent of the Internet age, various novels based on the two of them have emerged endlessly!


    There are also countless movies and TV shows.


    This made everyone know them, so they were all curious about what happened to the beautiful Duke Lu and emperor Jinhe.


    The tomb was dug, everyone watched the live broadcast together, and then¡­This tomb is really a joint tomb, the kind where two men are buried together!


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe was actually buried with Duke Lu.¡±


    ¡°Shock!¡±


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe should be sincere to Duke Lu.¡±


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe¡¯s favorite must be Duke Lu¡­¡±


    ¡°Based on that era people¡¯ views, maybe he thought that marrying Duke Lu¡¯s sister was also an expression of his deep love for Duke Lu¡­¡±


    ¡­


    As everyone was talking, many funerary objects were unearthed, including well-preserved calligraphy and paintings.


    ¡°This preservation technique¡­Is Lu Guogong really a time traveler?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really rare to find such well-preserved paintings and calligraphy in a tomb!¡±


    ¡°God, isn¡¯t the man in the painting too handsome? Is he Duke Lu?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s really beautiful!¡±


    ¡°Love love love!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a man but I¡¯m going to be bent!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was looking at one of the paintings in shock, then an old professor took a close-up of the signature.


    ¡°Wait, the person in the painting is Emperor Jinhe?¡±


    ¡°This painting was also painted by Duke Lu?¡±


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe looked like this? So because he looks so good, Duke Lu is so devoted to him?¡±


    ¡°Here comes the second painting! It¡¯s two people together!¡±


    ¡°The one next to Emperor Jinhe is Duke Lu? This is not what I expect¡­¡±


    ¡°Duke Lu is also very handsome, but he¡¯s¡­so tall?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s normal for Duke Lu to be tall. The Lu family are all military generals. When everyone describes him, they all say that he is seven feet tall. Calculated Great Jin¡¯s measurement, he is about 1.9 meters.¡±


    ¡°So Duke Lu is a tall shou?¡±


    ¡°He may not necessarily be the shou¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°There are a lot of paintings! There is actually a painting of Emperor Jinhe and the empress together? The one wearing the empress¡¯s clothes should be the empress, right? The empress looks different from what I imagined.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t everyone say that the empress looks a lot like Duke Lu? They don¡¯t look anything alike except for their height¡­¡±


    ¡°The empress is taller than Emperor Jinhe. They all say that Emperor Jinhe has been in poor health since he was young. It seems to be true.¡±


    ¡°Why is there a disfigured man in the painting?¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was wondering when they saw the signature again.


    Wait, what¡¯s with this signature?


    The inscription of this painting was written by Duke Lu. It was actually written that it was a painting of him, Xie Chengze, his sister, and brother-in-law in the Imperial Garden.


    ¡°Sister and brother-in-law?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Duke Lu¡¯s brother-in-law Emperor Jinhe?¡±


    ¡°Looking at the inscription, the brother-in-law he mentioned doesn¡¯t seem to be Emperor Jinhe? Is it that disfigured man?¡±


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe is far away from the empress, the two seem to have nothing to do with each other¡­¡±


    ¡°Emperor Jinhe¡¯s children is really not his?¡±


    ¡­


    Emperor Jinhe¡¯s children were indeed not his.


    There are many paintings here, some of which are inscribed by the emperor after Emperor Jinhe. The emperor who painted Emperor Jinhe and Lu Yanzhou called them big uncle and little uncle, there was no ¡®emperor father¡¯ at all.


    So¡­they all thought that emperor Jingehe is a scumbag, but he actually wasn¡¯t?


    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, stunned by this shocking reversal.


    It¡¯s said that Duke Lu is a love brain, but it¡¯s actually Emperor Jinhe, right?


    The crown prince was not his, but he has the Lu family blood!


    ¡°A lot will be changed in the history book¡­¡±


    ¡°In the past, many people thought that Duke Lu disregarded the Lu feud and became a love-brain, but now¡­the Xie¡¯s mountain and rivers¡­has fallen into the Lu¡¯s hands?¡±


    ¡°I remember that there is a big female drama in which Lu Rong is the female lead that is being filmed now. In it, Emperor Jinhe is really in love with the female lead, even duke Lu also likes the female lead. As an infatuated male supporting role, Duke Lu let go of his hatred for the female lead. And in order to give the female lead an identity, he told people that the female lead is his sister. Now this drama definitely can¡¯t go on¡­¡±


    ¡°A lot of the TV series and books I watched before are wrong! I can¡¯t watch those anymore!¡±


    ¡­


    There has been a lot of fuss on the Internet for a long while. The students in the history department waited a month before their professor came back.


    As soon as the professor came, he said, ¡°Students, many things in the class I taught before were wrong. Today we will talk about these two people again!¡±


    Sigh, what scumbag, Duke Lu and Emperor Jinhe is true love!


    Emperor Jinhe arranged people around Duke Lu, not for the purpose of monitoring or anything, it¡¯s probably because of pure petty jealousy.


    Duke Lu doesn¡¯t have a love brain either, the crown prince isn¡¯t even related to Emperor Jinhe by blood, he is his nephew too¡­Tsk tsk!


    Thinking about it, Duke Lu was the one who killed King Rui with a sword move, how could he suddenly be in love¡­


    The professor thought of this, and said to the students: ¡°Students, I found a lot of documents this time, including some things related to the two people written by the reigning emperor after Emperor Jinhe and Duke Lu¡¯s death. According to the records, these two people were never against each other before, their relationship is very good. It was recorded that Duke Lu once only focused on revenge. However, Emperor Jinhe loved him deeply and was willing to do everything for him, then, he finally let go of his hatred¡­¡±


    So it¡¯s not the love between the domineering and cruel scum emperor and the stunning beautiful love brain Duke, it¡¯s clearly the love between¡­the silly, white, sweet, and beautiful emperor and the all-powerful Duke who let go of his hatred for love!


    It seems pretty good?


    T/N: Next is Apocalypse¡­|?¦Ø?£à)

 CH 102

    Putting Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments into his heart again, Lu Yanzhou used the merits collected in the small world to help that small world escape from Black Tortoise¡¯s control.


    He immediately entered a new small world after.


    As soon as he entered, Lu Yanzhou saw a fireball coming toward his face. He subconsciously raised a wall of earth in front of him to block the fireball.


    There was a sneer from the opposite side, only then did Lu Yanzhou realize that there was a young man in a black leather jacket standing opposite him. This man¡¯s face was full of arrogance, he was looking at him with disdain.


    ¡°Hypocrite.¡± The man sneered, turned and left.


    The earthen wall in front of Lu Yanzhou disappeared, then the memory of the original owner immediately appeared in his mind. He also had an understanding of this world.


    This is an apocalyptic world.


    In July 2050, a comet fell onto earth and exploded above earth. Immediately afterwards, humans and animals all over the world began to mutate.


    One-third of the people and animals directly turned into zombies that feed on fresh flesh while the remaining two-thirds of the people and animals, 90% became stronger and 10% awakened various special abilities.


    The scary thing is that if one were bitten by a zombified person or animal, they will turn into a zombie.


    The apolcaplyse occurred suddenly, the whole society began to collapse. In just one year, the population dropped by 80% and the remaining 20% of humans hid in various safe areas, struggling to survive.


    C City Security Zone is a medium-sized security zone, which is established near C City and has a population of 300,000.


    This safe zone was established by the army and has always been managed by the army. However, because ability users are getting stronger and stronger, gradually, ability users in the safe zone of City C started increasing.


    The ability users in City C were divided into two teams.


    One of the teams was led by Lu Yanzhou, an earth-type ability user. Before the apocalypse, Lu Yanzhou was an ordinary worker, but after the apocalypse, because he awakened his abilities early and saved many people, he became a leader among those with ability users, that¡¯s why many people trusted and joined him.


    The other team was led by Zhou Jingshan, a fire-type ability user. Zhou Jingshan is far stronger than Lu Yanzhou. Before the apocalypse, he was a rich second generation who liked extreme sports. During the apocalypse, he dared to fight and kill. He will be the first one that rushes to kill zombies every time. He also gathered a lot of powerful ability users around him.


    The two teams have different views. Most of the ability users in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s team are not strong but they are more willing to do other things than kill zombies, such as helping the common people build houses and build fortifications. They also feel that ability users aren¡¯t superior to others.


    However, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s team is completely opposite. They are very strong and always go out to kill zombies to grab supplies. They also think that ability users are superior and should be above ordinary people, such as if an ability user were to kill an ordinary person, they don¡¯t need to pay for their life and what¡¯s not.


    This caused Lu Yanzhou to be more popular despite his low strength, but the ability users under him doesn¡¯t have it good.


    Zhou Jingshan is different. Although he is unpopular, he is powerful, so the ability users under him live well.


    There were often conflicts between the two sides. The people on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side felt that the people on Zhou Jingshan¡¯s side were too selfish and unwilling to help ordinary people, and they also enjoyed the looted supplies exclusively.


    The people on Zhou Jingshan¡¯s side felt that Lu Yanzhou and the others were all cowards, who only knew how to talk eloquently but didn¡¯t dare to go out to kill zombies.


    And the young man in black who threw the fireball at Lu Yanzhou just now was Zhou Jingshan.


    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body was ambitious.


    He came to work in City C from another place. Because his family was poor since he was a child, he vowed to make a career before returning to his hometown in the future.


    After he came to City C, besides his official job, he also took part-time jobs, working more than twelve hours a day, saving money desperately, hoping to buy a house and settle down in City C in the future, and become a boss.


    In order to achieve this goal, he also pursued a local white rich beauty in City C, who was very kind to him.


    Seeing that the white rich beauty is about to agree to his pursuit and the money he saved is almost enough for the down payment¡­The apocalypse occurs!


    When he found out that he had an ability, which was quite strong, the original owner began to help the people around him. Later, he found that the soldiers in charge of the security base liked what he did, so he continued to do it.


    He wanted to gain a good reputation, it would be best if he could control the entire base in the future.


    The reason why he clashed with Zhou Jingshan today was because Zhou Jingshan had more and more ability users under him. Zhou Jingshan wanted to drive away the ordinary people living in a certain area in the safe zone and use it to build his base camp.


    Zhou Jingshan has always been proud, and so are his subordinates. They felt that if they hadn¡¯t been killing zombies, the zombies would have invaded the safe zone in City C long ago, so they didn¡¯t give them any compensation and just made those people move out.


    Those ordinary people had nowhere to move to and happened to see the original owner, so they begged the original owner.


    As soon as the original owner drove away Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates, Zhou Jingshan came, and the two sides clashed again.


    Then Lu Yanzhou transmigrated.


    The original owner couldn¡¯t beat Zhou Jingshan and Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know the world yet, so he couldn¡¯t beat him either¡­Fortunately, Zhou Jingshan just threw a fireball at him and then left.


    When Zhou Jingshan disappeared, the people living in this area came over one after another to thank Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou took a look at the place where these people lived and felt that there was something wrong here.


    This place was a park before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, many people who came to the safe zone had no place to live, so they ¡®camped¡¯ in this park.


    Some of these people live in tents, some live in cars, and some live in a small house at random. The accommodation conditions are very bad.


    However, apart from living here, they have no other place to live. The better houses in the safe zone need to be rented with contribution points.


    Although the original owner was ambitious, he was a little afraid of death. After all, once he died, no matter how ambitious he was, it would be useless.


    So the year following the apocalypse, he spent most of his time in the safe zone, helping to strengthen the fortifications, help build houses and so on, and rarely go out to kill zombies.


    It¡¯s just that what he does can get contribution points, and the houses are all built for the safe zone, but he doesn¡¯t do much to help the poor people for free.


    So after the original owner accepted the thanks from these people, he excused himself to be busy and left here.


    However, Lu Yanzhou is different. After seeing the situation here, Lu Yanzhou said to these people: ¡°You can¡¯t live like this forever. I will bring people over tomorrow to build some simple houses for you, and then sort out the area by the lake to grow food.¡±


    There is a small lake in the middle of this park, the environment there is very good.


    These people were stunned: ¡°To live in a house¡­do I need rent?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°At the beginning, the rent can be waived for you. As for the follow-up¡­I will find a way to find jobs for you guys. If it really doesn¡¯t work¡­you will end up living in the slum at worst.¡±


    Now there are too many ordinary people in the safe zone, it¡¯s hard to find a job, which is why there are so many places like slums.


    After thinking about it, these people continued to thank him.


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou leave, and then he began to recall all the things the original owner encountered later¡­


    The white rich beauty that the original owner pursued before the apocalypse turned into a zombie when the apocalypse occured. During the apocalypse, the original owner has been pursuing a strong female ability user.


    Zhou Jingshan is also pursuing that female ability user¡­This is one of the reasons for the conflict between the original owner and Zhou Jingshan.


    The original owner had been chasing the female ability user for a long time, but when he was about to confess his love to this female ability user, something suddenly happened.


    In the middle of the night, a man suddenly broke into the original owner¡¯s bedroom!


    This man¡¯s ability is a rare teleportation ability. After he entered the original owner¡¯s bedroom, he did nothing but sleep on the original owner¡¯s bed.


    However, the original owner was very reluctant, so he attacked this person.


    As a result, this person teleported and ran away. After running away, he still came again the next day.


    The original owner had a conspiracy theory, thinking that this man must have been arranged by Zhou Jingshan to frame him, so he decided to get rid of this man before confessing, but before he could get rid of the man, the female ability user was with Zhou Jingshan.


    The original owner felt that it was all this man¡¯s fault. If this man hadn¡¯t made him confess late, he would definitely get that female ability user.


    It really has nothing to do with the fact that the original owner was late in his confession, she just liked Zhou Jingshan more. However, the original owner got angry and was furious at the man who always came to his room at night¡­Then the man burst into tears.


    The original owner also discovered that this man who could teleport was a fool.


    Zhou Jingshan didn¡¯t arrange for this person to come to him, this fool just liked him.


    The original owner felt disgusted and wanted to take advantage of this fool, so he coaxed this fool to assassinate Zhou Jingshan.


    But how is Zhou Jingshan so easy to kill? The fool¡¯s mind is not good, so he went there several times without any success but suffered a lot of injuries¡­But, he didn¡¯t die, did he? The original owner forced him to continue.


    Then the fool really succeeded and killed Zhou Jingshan, but the fool himself was also killed by Zhou Jingshan¡¯s men.


    Ignoring that, after Zhou Jingshan¡¯s death, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s unruly subordinates, who thought that ordinary people were trash, actually left City C¡¯s security zone.


    City C¡¯s security zone lost so much fighting strength all at once, and the original owner and his subordinates were also weak¡­So, when the zombie wave struck, City C¡¯s security zone was breached.


    The moment the city was breached, the original owner left all the people in the city and fled. However, high-level zombies are more likely to be attracted by the flesh and blood of high-level ability users, so although the original owner ran away, he still became a meal for high-level zombies.


    There were hundreds of thousands of people in City C¡¯s security zone, and none of them survived in the end.


    This result was very tragic. Of course, the thing Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t stand the most was the fool coaxed by the original owner to kill Zhou Jingshan is Xie Chengze.


    The Xie Chengze in this world¡­is a fool.


    It¡¯s not a big deal if he is a fool but he even like a scum like the original owner. The original owner treated him very badly but he still gave his life to the original owner!


    Lu Yanzhou returned to the original owner¡¯s residence.


    As a powerful ability user, the original owner has plenty of contribution points, but in order to gain a good reputation, he doesn¡¯t live in a villa as ostentatiously as Zhou Jingshan¡­The original owner lives in an apartment in the center of the security zone.


    This used to be an economic development zone. The apartment where the original owner lived was a talent apartment1Apartment for solving short-term lease and transitional turnover housing for talents to start a business in at a certain place with 18 floors before the apocalypse. The following 15 floors are single rooms while the top 3 floors are suites. The original owner lives in a certain suite on the top floor.


    The suite is 80 square meters, with a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a cloakroom and a bathroom. It is very spacious and comfortable to live in.


    Lu Yanzhou sat down on the sofa, rubbed his brows and felt a little worried.


    The original owner doesn¡¯t know anything about Xie Chengze, that is to say¡­he doesn¡¯t know where Xie Chengze is now.


    That being the case, he couldn¡¯t take the initiative to find Xie Chengze, he could only wait for Xie Chengze to teleport to him.


    He couldn¡¯t wait to see Xie Chengze, but in the original owner¡¯s memory, it would be several days later when the fool came to find him¡­

 CH 103

    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze¡¯s flaw in this world should be ¡®fool¡¯.


    Being a fool is a big problem, it must be cured as soon as possible.


    The present world is very chaotic!


    Even though the security base in C City is managed by the army, it was orderly, but there are still people who die abnormally in the security base every day.


    Those who get sick will die if they are not treated. There are those that die from long-term malnutrition. There are also those that die from the cold or heatstroke.


    If it weren¡¯t for the mutation that made most people¡¯s physical fitness strengthened¡­Any infectious disease could paralyze the security base.


    In such an environment, it¡¯s too difficult for a fool to survive!


    He must get Xie Chengze back to normal as soon as possible.


    There is also the fact that the zombies will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the outbreak of zombie waves will destroy the entire security base¡­


    The destructive hot weapons have the problem inflicting 1,000 on the enemy but also 800 self-damage. The environmental pollution caused also makes it difficult for human beings to survive, so now humans rely on ordinary hot weapons and ability users to deal with zombies.


    Ability users recently have become stronger and stronger, they have become the main force for killing zombies.


    It¡¯s just that ability users are getting stronger but the zombies are also getting stronger, so the powerful zombies fighting ability is also amazing.


    Therefore, if C City¡¯s security base wants to survive the zombie tide, those on Zhou Jingshan¡¯s side cannot leave. He and his subordinates¡¯ strength should also be increased too.


    Even ordinary people in the security base also need to improve their strength.


    There are too many things to do, he can only do one thing at a time.


    After sorting out his thoughts and familiarizing himself with his abilities, Lu Yanzhou went to his subordinates and asked them if they would like to join him tomorrow to build houses for the homeless ordinary people in the security base.


    Most of the original owner¡¯s subordinates have ordinary abilities and are not strong in combat. They don¡¯t really want to fight zombies, but they don¡¯t mind working in the security base, so they all agree.


    Seeing that his subordinates agreed, Lu Yanzhou went to the head of the security base non-stop and asked him.


    It has been less than a year since the apocalypse. In the first few months, the army that established the security base basically kept saving people, which also caused them heavy casualties.


    Now the total number of people in the security base is hundred thousand, it will be even more difficult to manage the remaining army. This is why the original owner and Zhou Jingshan can get ahead.


    Compared to Zhou Jingshan, who is not very obedient, the original owner is more loved by the district chief. Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, the district chief was a little surprised: ¡°Why did you think of doing this?¡±


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve thought of it a long time ago but I didn¡¯t have the time before.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    There are a lot of people living in the security zone. The original owner has been leading his men to clean up the security base, build walls around the security base and repair the houses in the security base¡­ he really doesn¡¯t have time for this matter.


    ¡°Building more houses is definitely a good thing, but there is a shortage of building materials now,¡± said the district chief.


    ¡°I¡¯ll find a way to do this. We ability users don¡¯t have that high requirement for materials when we build a house,¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    He had studied his ability before coming here. His ability was said to be an earth-type ability. If the soil was compressed, the soil could become harder than a stone in his hands.


    Besides¡­he had a faint feeling that if his abilities were strengthened, he should be able to control stones and cement.


    Earth-type abilities don¡¯t sound like much, but if used properly, the effect will be very good!


    Lu Yanzhou discussed with the person in charge, then quickly decided how and where to build the houses.


    Then, after confirming this, Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°District Chief, can I check the roster of our security base? I had a friend before the apocalypse, I don¡¯t know if they are still alive now.¡±


    The district chief replied: ¡°Of course.¡±


    Although the number of people in the security base is a bit large, everyone has registered for the convenience of management.


    After the apocalypse strike, the network was paralyzed, all the satellites in the sky could not be connected. However, the computer was still working offline, so a local area network has been set up in the security base¡­Lu Yanzhou wants to find someone, he just needs to turn on the computer and search from the name.


    The person Lu Yanzhou was looking for was naturally Xie Chengze.


    However, after he entered Xie Chengze¡¯s name, nothing popped up.


    After thinking about it, he entered the word ¡®Chengze¡¯ alone, and this time two people named Chengze popped up. However, according to the registration, one is a three-year-old child and the other is only twelve years old, which isn¡¯t the same age as Xie Chengze from the original owner¡¯s memory.


    Xie Chengze isn¡¯t in this security base, is he?


    Could it be that he is in another security base?


    He hopes that Xie Chengze will come to him in a few days.


    Lu Yanzhou did not find Xie Chengze, so he could only leave.


    He didn¡¯t need to find his colleague. The colleagues who had a good relationship with the original owner before the apocalypse had already taken the initiative to find the original owner. After all, the original owner was very famous in the security base.


    After a lot of working, it was already dark. Lu Yanzhou returned to his residence, ate something, then began to study his own abilities.


    The present people divide ability into various levels. The original owner¡¯s earth ability is level four, Zhou Jingshan is also level four, so the two of them were the strongest ability users in C City¡¯s security base.


    If his ability was well used, his strength shouldn¡¯t be weak. As for how to improve his ability, he has to think carefully.


    When Lu Yanzhou was studying his abilities, people were already getting ready to sleep in the area he had been to during the day.


    They registered to enter the security base, but they couldn¡¯t find a job, so they could only find the open space to stay, and then received a little relief food every day to survive.


    Zhou Jingshan was going to drive them away this morning, so they were all terrified.


    To those ability users, their residence might be a pile of rags, but to them, it was a place where they would not be exposed to the wind and the sun.


    Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou drove them away and said he would build a house for them.


    Everyone was very happy, so it was inevitable for them to talk about this matter: ¡°Lu Yanzhou is still better, he is willing to help us.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Can we really live in a house?¡±


    ¡°In the past, I always disliked my dilapidated house, but now really, I will just be happy with a dirt house as long as there¡¯s a bed.¡±


    ¡­


    Just as they were talking, they saw a hunched young man coming back from a distance and opening the door of a car with all the windows covered tightly.


    ¡°Xiao Xu, are you back?¡± Someone greeted the young man.


    The young man nodded and got into the car.


    Seeing the young man go in, everyone started to whisper: ¡°Xiao Xu is so weird, he still lives with us even though he has a job.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not in good health. I¡¯ve seen him buy medicine. You all know that medicine is very expensive now.¡±


    ¡°He eats well and he often buys delicious food, which is expensive.¡±


    ¡°He goes to rest in the car so early every day, he won¡¯t open the door even after knocking. I wonder what he is doing at night.¡±


    ¡°Maybe he was afraid that someone would steal his things.¡±


    ¡­


    These people whispered, and the young man who got into the car, that is, Xie Chengze, fell on the ¡®bed¡¯ made of wooden planks on the car and did not move as soon as he got in.


    He is so tired and his head hurts.


    It¡¯s a pity that painkillers are too expensive, and the contribution points he earns are not enough to buy painkillers.


    Before the apocalypse, Xie Chengze was a university student.


    His father died when he was young. After his mother remarried, she changed his name to Xu Ze, following his stepfather¡¯s surname.


    When the disaster happened, he just returned to C City for summer break, and then he and his family were rescued by soldiers and entered the security base.


    His family was lucky. Neither his stepfather, mother, nor his younger brother became zombies, because they entered the security base earlier and were natives of C City. His stepfather, his mother, and him all found jobs.


    They can rent a house if they have a job. They rented a small house in the security base to live in.


    It¡¯s just that the rent became more and more expensive later, and the contribution points in exchange for work became less and less¡­When the family could only afford to rent a single room, his stepfather kicked him out.


    Because he is sick.


    He has had a dual personality since he was a child. It was fine when he was young, the other one didn¡¯t appear very often, but as he got older, especially after his father passed away, the other one appeared more and more. Over the years, he appears every night.


    It¡¯s just, he is mentally retarded like a child. That was okay in peaceful times, they can wait for him to come out, give him something delicious, coax him to sleep, then he will be fine.


    However, now that the apocalypse strikes¡­the one who ¡®woke up¡¯ at night, wanted to eat, drink, then cry¡­his stepfather couldn¡¯t bear it.


    Of course, if he could earn more contribution points, his stepfather could bear it, but he didn¡¯t earn much contribution points, so his stepfather naturally didn¡¯t want him to stay at home.


    The car he lives in now belongs to his stepfather. He pays a certain amount of contribution points to his stepfather every month. It can be regarded as renting this car from his stepfather. He would work during the day and sleep in the car at night, it can also be considered living.


    Xie Chengze lay down and rested for a while, then sat up again.


    He put the food he received today on the driver¡¯s seat, and then lay down again.


    The other one is a naive child, who can¡¯t stand hard life and can¡¯t stand hunger.


    So now he doesn¡¯t eat during the day and saves it all for him to eat at night.


    This is also to prevent him from running around outside if he is not full at night.


    He¡¯s also quite helpless to say that during the day he has no abilities, but at night he¡­can teleport.


    His day and night memories are not connected, so they can¡¯t meet each other. All he knows about the person at night is from his mother and the surveillance cameras he installed before the apocalypse.


    Afraid that the fool, self-proclaimed ¡®Chengcheng¡¯, would run out at night and get bullied, after he moved into the car, he tried to seal up the car and drew some pictures to warn Chengcheng not to go out.


    However, Chengcheng still went out¡­Although he was in the car when he woke up, the mud on his shoes isn¡¯t fake.


    He also studied for a long time before he realized that Chengcheng should have awakened a ability like ¡®teleportation¡¯, which allowed him to leave the small car without harming it.


    If he is the one who has the ability, he will definitely be able to live a good life by relying on this ability, but the one who has the ability is Chengcheng.


    Chengcheng only comes out at night, he doesn¡¯t know how to communicate with others, and his mind is like a four or five-year-old child. He only knows how to eat and sleep, then sleep and eat.


    Forget it, Chengcheng is also afraid of strangers, so he dares not contact strangers at all. His mother is fine, but Chengcheng is quite scared of his stepfather and brother.


    Such Chengcheng can¡¯t do any task at all, and he may even be accidentally bitten to death by zombies.


    Xie Chengze can only pretend that he doesn¡¯t have any ability.


    Fortunately, Chengcheng doesn¡¯t go out very much. He is very busy and tired from work during the day, so when Chengcheng comes out, he is basically tired and hungry. He will go to bed after eating then.


    He¡¯ll just go out once in a while¡­With Chengcheng¡¯s shy personality, he will only stay in a place where no one is around for a while, and then he will come back.


    Xie Chengze closed his eyes, endured hunger and fell asleep.


    Before going to bed, he thought about what happened in the morning.


    He went to a medical university and worked as a nurse. Their hospital worked late, when Lu Yanzhou and Zhou Jingshan clashed in the morning, he was about to leave.


    This was not the first time he met Lu Yanzhou, he had seen Lu Yanzhou many times when Lu Yanzhou helped build the hospital.


    At that time, he had a good impression of Lu Yanzhou, but that¡¯s all. However, today¡­he doesn¡¯t know what happened, when he saw Lu Yanzhou, his heart started beating faster.


    He fell in love with Lu Yanzhou at a glance.


    When working during the day today, Xie Chengze kept thinking about Lu Yanzhou, of course he was just thinking about it ¨C the gap between him and Lu Yanzhou was too great, they couldn¡¯t be together.


    No, it¡¯s not just a matter of gaps¡­Who doesn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou is pursuing the most powerful female ability user in their safe zone? Before the apocalypse, Lu Yanzhou also had a girlfriend too.


    Since Lu Yanzhou likes women, it¡¯s impossible for them to be together.


    Feeling disappointed, Xie Chengze fell asleep.


    Not long after, he got up from the bed again.


    At this time, his expression changed, looking very pitiful with tears in his eyes.


    Now he is not Xie Chengze, but Chengcheng.


    Touching his hungry belly, Chengcheng sobbed twice, then found the food Xie Chengze had left for him and slowly ate it.


    It¡¯s really unpalatable¡­It¡¯s not comfortable to sleep here either¡­


    At this moment, a person popped up in his mind¡­he wanted to find that person.

 CH 104

    Xie Chengze at night is called ¡®Chengcheng¡¯, as for Xie Chengze during the day, he is called ¡®AZe¡¯.


    Chengcheng has been having a rough time recently.


    He has a headache, is always tired, and is hungry every day.


    In the past, every time he came out, AZe would prepare all kinds of delicious food for him, but now there is only dry, unpalatable flatbread.


    AZe also locked him in a car, he couldn¡¯t even stand up straight in it!


    However, there are many people outside, and those people are still talking, he does not dare go out. He is afraid.


    Chengcheng took a bite of the flatbread and tears fell.


    The car is not soundproof at all, it¡¯s summer and the car is also hot¡­He wants to go out and find that person.


    Chengcheng has never met that person, but he also knows some things about AZe. AZe has met that person, and he likes him very much¡­he also likes him.


    AZe thinks that person is a good person, will that good person take him in?


    The flatbread was really unpalatable, and because the car was not well ventilated, there was also an unpleasant smell¡­Chengcheng finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He put down the flatbread in his hand and disappeared from the car.


    When he appeared again, he was already on the deserted island in the middle of the lake.


    He felt much more comfortable with the fresh air outside, but there were mosquitoes outside.


    He¡¯s still hungry and tired.


    He wants to sleep¡­


    He also wants to meet that person.


    He had never seen that person, so he didn¡¯t know where that person lived, but AZe knew ¡ª that person lived on the top floor of the building next to where AZe worked.


    Chengcheng stared at the building for a while, then disappeared in place, and the next second, he appeared in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bedroom.


    On the bed, Lu Yanzhou was sleeping.


    Chengcheng silently looked at Lu Yanzhou, the more he looked, the more he liked him.


    Before he came, he liked this person very much, then after seeing him, he liked him even more!


    He felt that he just kept looking at this person without getting bored.


    But he¡¯s really tired and hungry¡­so sleepy¡­


    This person¡¯s bed is very big, can he sleep here?


    Chengcheng really wanted to stay, but he didn¡¯t dare. He remembered that when he woke up and found himself sleeping on the floor with his younger brother sleeping on the bed next to him, he wanted to sleep on the bed, but his younger brother beat him.


    But this person is a good person, he wouldn¡¯t be beaten, right?


    He always felt that this person would not harm him¡­


    After thinking for a long time, Chengcheng quietly sat down beside the bed, intending to lie on a small corner of the big bed.


    Lu Yanzhou was very alert. He woke up as soon as the bed moved, and then he saw Xie Chengze.


    Before he could call out the other party in surprise, Xie Chengze jumped up and hid in the corner of the room, looking at him fearfully.


    Xie Chengze in this world is really like a fool.


    In the original owner¡¯s memory, the first few times he saw Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze appeared suddenly. The original owner wanted to beat Xie Chengze but Xie Chengze teleported away.


    Later, the original owner found out that Xie Chengze was a fool, and began to coax Xie Chengze with good words. Xie Chengze stopped running away and was forced to kill Zhou Jingshan.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou turned on the light, and then smiled at Xie Chengze: ¡°Hello¡­who are you?¡±


    Chengcheng was uneasy.


    He is afraid of people, but he is not too afraid of the one in front of him, so he finally whispered: ¡°My name is Chengcheng.¡±


    ¡°Chengcheng? Your name sounds really nice,¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled consolingly at the other party, ¡°Are you here as my guest?¡±


    Chengcheng thought for a moment, and answered obediently: ¡°No, I¡¯m here to sleep.¡±


    If Xie Chengze in this world is not a fool, this is clearly a tiger-wolf statement! However, Xie Chengze in this world is a cute little fool.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Are you here to sleep? The place where you sleep is not very good?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has been observing Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze¡¯s clothes are very old and he is very very thin. He is obviously not doing well in the apocalypse.


    Besides, it¡¯s really impossible for a little fool to live too comfortably during the apocalypse.


    Chengcheng said: ¡°It¡¯s very small, it also stinks.¡±


    Xie Chengze slept in a small and smelly place? Lu Yanzhou suddenly felt distressed: ¡°Then you can sleep in my place from now on. My place is not small and doesn¡¯t smell bad.¡±


    ¡°I really can?¡± Chengcheng asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Of course, you are so cute!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s attitude is very good. Chengcheng is not afraid of him at all, and now that he is praised by Lu Yanzhou, he is even less afraid.


    He thought of his father, then acted like a baby to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I¡¯m hungry, my body hurts, and I feel uncomfortable.¡±


    As he said that, Chengcheng burst into tears: ¡°Woooo¡­I feel so uncomfortable.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had never seen Xie Chengze like this before. He didn¡¯t care about anything else and hurriedly hugged Xie Chengze: ¡°Chengcheng, don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll find something for you to eat.¡±


    After being coaxed by him, Chengcheng cried even louder, his tears kept rolling down: ¡°I want to eat delicious food.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll cook something delicious for you!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    There aren¡¯t many materials in the security base now. Unless ordinary people have some special talents and can earn a lot of contribution points, otherwise they can only eat unpalatable flatbread made with various vegetables and shelled grains.


    However, it¡¯s much easier for ability users to get contribution points than ordinary people. Their living conditions are very good. The original owner¡¯s card also has a lot of contribution points. He can eat white rice, fresh vegetables, and various meats every day.


    He also has his own residence¡­Ordinary people that want to live in a house need to rent it with contribution points. Water and electricity are also expensive, but as long as the ability user is willing to do missions, even if they do missions once or twice a month, they can live in the house with free water and electricity.


    The original owner lived alone in an 80-square-meter place, so there was a lot of food in the house. Zhou Jingshan¡¯s living conditions were even better, he lived in a single-family villa.


    Lu Yanzhou carried Xie Chengze to the living room outside and put Xie Chengze on the sofa: ¡°Chengcheng, wait for me, I¡¯ll prepare something delicious for you.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou began to dig through the original owner¡¯s grain storage.


    Although there is a cafeteria in the security base, eating also needs contribution points. However, the original owner had saved a lot of food in his room to prepare for a rainy day.


    There are all kinds of candy, army rations, canned food, and other foods with expiration dates.


    Of course, now everyone doesn¡¯t care much about the expiration date. They will still eat even if it has expired.


    Lu Yanzhou first gave Xie Chengze a few pieces of chocolate, and then prepared to make something for Xie Chengze.


    He finally found a pack of instant noodles, boiled it, and then opened a box of luncheon meat, cut half of it and put it in.


    He wanted to put in more, but he was afraid that Xie Chengze would eat too much and spoil his stomach.


    The original owner usually doesn¡¯t cook, so there are few things he can make. Xie Chengze waited anxiously to eat, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t cook anything else and quickly put the instant noodles with luncheon meat in front of Xie Chengze: ¡°Chengcheng, it¡¯s ready.¡±


    ¡°It smells so good!¡± Chengcheng was very pleasantly surprised: ¡°You are such a good person.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± The good person card is no longer needed.


    Chengcheng picked up a piece of luncheon meat and took a bite, tearfully saying, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    How could luncheon meat be delicious? The kid just hasn¡¯t eaten anything good for too long: ¡°Chengcheng, eat slowly, stop if you¡¯re full, don¡¯t eat too much.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Chengcheng nodded while eating, looking at Lu Yanzhou from time to time.


    This man is really nice. He looks good and he is also good to him.


    He was very happy to see this person.


    He has not been happy for a long long time, even if this person treats him badly, he is still happy to see this person, not to mention that this person treats him so well.


    Chengcheng likes this person very much: ¡°Do you want to eat? I will give you half?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten, and I have a lot to eat,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Chengcheng, will you live with me in the future? I¡¯ll make delicious food for you every day.¡±


    Chengcheng agreed: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Seeing that Xie Chengze agreed, Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.


    It was a pleasant surprise for Xie Chengze to come to him in advance, but now that Xie Chengze promised not to leave, it made him even happier!


    He will try his best to provide Xie Chengze with a good life and raise Xie Chengze to be white and fat!


    Xie Chengze puffed his cheeks and quickly ate the whole bowl of instant noodles. After eating, he even started to drink the soup.


    ¡°Chengcheng, don¡¯t drink the soup, it¡¯s full of seasonings.¡± Lu Yanzhou stopped him.


    ¡°The soup is delicious.¡± Chengcheng looked at Lu Yanzhou pitifully. He hadn¡¯t eaten such delicious food for a long, long, long time.


    ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯ll cook you something more delicious.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. He has a lot of contribution points in his hands, so tomorrow he will take Xie Chengze to eat the most luxurious breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria. He can also exchange for some ingredients to cook a big meal in the evening.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Chengcheng nodded earnestly, leaned over and kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face.


    He used to kiss his parents like this!


    But now, he really really wants to kiss Lu Yanzhou!


    After Lu Yanzhou was kissed, he felt numb all over.


    This Xie Chengze is so cute!


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Chengcheng, I¡¯ll take you to take a shower. We¡¯ll change your clothes.¡±


    Xie Chengze should have taken a shower, he has no smell on his body, and although his clothes are old, they are still clean.


    However, Lu Yanzhou wanted to see his physical condition, so he coaxed him to take a bath, um, and he also wanted him to change his clothes.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance is like Xie Chengze¡¯s. Every world they will look the same, except for a little difference in body shape. For example, in the last world, Lu Yanzhou was tall and slender, but Xie Chengze was not tall because of illness.


    However, Lu Yanzhou in this world is not that tall, but Xie Chengze is quite tall. They are about the same height, so Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes can be worn by Xie Chengze.


    Chengcheng pouted: ¡°Chengcheng doesn¡¯t want to take a bath, it hurts.¡±


    Xie Chengze hurts when taking a bath, he must be injured. Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Chengcheng, I¡¯ll give you medicine after taking a bath, it won¡¯t hurt after taking the medicine, okay?¡±


    After convincing Chengcheng, Lu Yanzhou took him into the bathroom and bathed him.


    Xie Chengze did have a lot of wounds on his body, but it doesn¡¯t look like he was beaten, it should be caused by a simple bump.


    Of course, the point is not these wounds, it¡¯s Xie Chengze who is really¡­very thin.


    After the apocalypse strike, he probably didn¡¯t have a good meal, so his body was quite skinny!


    He has to fatten Xie Chengze as soon as possible!


    Lu Yanzhou was very experienced in bathing Xie Chengze, so his movements were very gentle.


    Xie Chengze felt very comfortable after being washed by him, and soon he fell asleep.


    Lu Yanzhou is also very experienced in this situation, so he apply medicine and put clothes on Xie Chengze without waking Xie Chengze up.


    He first gave Xie Chengze medicine, then changed Xie Chengze into a white T-shirt that the original owner hadn¡¯t worn, and found clean pants for him to put on¡­By the time Lu Yanzhou finished all this, it was already midnight.


    Lying beside Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou quickly fell asleep.


    At six o¡¯clock in the morning, Chengcheng suddenly opened his eyes.


    He looked around, suddenly realized something, blinked his eyes, and then disappeared from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bed, appearing in Xie Chengze¡¯s car.


    He also understands what AZe means. AZe forbids him to stay outside all the time!


    Chengcheng dare not make AZe angry.


    After returning to the car, Chengcheng frowned in disgust and fell asleep again.


    When Xie Chengze woke up, he felt very comfortable.


    He hasn¡¯t felt so comfortable for a long time, his whole body is warm, and his head doesn¡¯t hurt anymore!


    Wait, something seems wrong!


    Xie Chengze smelled a faint scent. He didn¡¯t know if it was the scent of shampoo or shower gel, but¡­he didn¡¯t have such a thing to use right now!


    After sniffing vigorously, he suddenly found that the scent was mixed with the smell of medicine!


    Xie Chengze stood up suddenly, looked at his body, and then realized that his clothes had changed from the inside to the outside!


    The scratches on his body were all medicated!


    And¡­the food he left for Chengcheng last night, Chengcheng only ate a little bit, but he didn¡¯t feel hungry now at all!


    So last night, Chengcheng ran out? He found a place to eat, took a shower, gave himself medicine, and found new clothes to wear?


    How can Chengcheng have such a skill?!


    It¡¯s more likely that Chengcheng ran out, and then someone picked Chengcheng up, fed him, bathed him, and gave him medicine!


    Thinking of this possibility, Xie Chengze was dumbfounded.


    The apocalypse is really chaotic, people with better looks are easily targeted by others.


    Their security base is managed by the military, so there are relatively few messy things, but it¡¯s not uncommon for good-looking ordinary people to be violated.


    He didn¡¯t want to fall into that situation, so he tried to hide his appearance during the day and would deliberately hunch his body.


    Fortunately, the place where he works is a hospital, so he needs to wear a mask all the time¡­If his face is covered by the mask, and if he puts on plain glasses, messes up his hair and hunches his body, no one will pay attention to him.


    However, he can hide himself but Chengcheng can¡¯t. Has Chengcheng been taken advantage of by others?


    Xie Chengze felt a little uncomfortable and thought of Lu Yanzhou again.


    After sleeping, when he thought of Lu Yanzhou, he liked him even more in his heart. He even wanted to see Lu Yanzhou urgently and wanted to tell Lu Yanzhou about his grievances.


    However, he couldn¡¯t talk to Lu Yanzhou at all!


    Even if he could talk to Lu Yanzhou¡­he was taken advantage of by an unknown person, if Lu Yanzhou knew about it, he would definitely dislike him.


    Xie Chengze checked and found that he had not been violated, so he was relieved.


    He couldn¡¯t help but wonder, Chengcheng has always been very vigilant and afraid of people, why did he let others bathe him and give him medicine last night?


    Who is that man?


    After struggling for a while, Xie Chengze suddenly realized that he was too comfortable and slept too well last night. He got up a little late today, so he needed to tidy up and went to work immediately.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze immediately changed his clothes and got ready.


    When he went out, after thinking about it, he brought Chengcheng¡¯s leftover food from last night ¡ª he recently left food for Chengcheng to eat every day, so he was hungry all day during the day, which was really unbearable.


    Chengcheng didn¡¯t finish his food last night, so he had something to eat during the day today, which is quite good.


    When Xie Chengze hurriedly left to go to work, Lu Yanzhou also set out to this place.


    Lu Yanzhou is not in a good mood today.


    Anyone who wakes up to find that their lover beside him is gone will not be in a good mood.


    He had already thought about what to take Xie Chengze to eat today, but Xie Chengze left him and ran away!


    Xie Chengze clearly promised to stay last night!


    Lu Yanzhou strangely had the feeling that he had met a heartbreaker.

 CH 105

    Although Xie Chengze is gone, Lu Yanzhou believes that he will definitely come back.


    The original initiative hit him, but he still came back!


    Maybe¡­Xie Chengze just got up early and wanted to go back and get something?


    Because of this thought, Lu Yanzhou waited in the room for a long time. He asked others to buy breakfast and bought two servings. He thought that when Xie Chengze came, he would be able to eat with Xie Chengze.


    However, Xie Chengze never came back.


    Lu Yanzhou had already said yesterday that he was going to build a house for people today, so he had to go. In the end, he could only put all the sweets and breakfast on the table, and then brought his subordinates to the park.


    He has many subordinates, but he brought only seven people this time. After all, many people¡¯s abilities are not suitable for building a house, and his subordinates still have other tasks to do.


    After arriving at the place, Lu Yanzhou first leveled and compacted a piece of land with his ability, and then asked fire-type ability users to roast the land with fire until the ground was dry and hard.


    Then, Lu Yanzhou will condense the hardest earth wall and use his ability to make the earth wall and the ground perfectly connected.


    ¡°Captain, it¡¯s just building a resettlement house, there¡¯s no need to be so careful, right?¡± asked an earth-type ability user working with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Using more abilities will make you stronger, try to use them as much as possible!¡±


    Using one ability will indeed make them become stronger. The earth-type ability user stopped talking and started to get busy.


    Using their ability to build a house is really fast. Lu Yanzhou found that the house built by compacting the soil is still very strong.


    Besides, many places in ancient times originally rammed soil to make walls.


    During the building process, Lu Yanzhou also discovered that his ability was better than the original owner.


    This should be related to mental force.


    Although he has suppressed his strength, his own soul is much stronger than ordinary people in the small world, so he has better control over his ability.


    The houses that Lu Yanzhou built were bungalows; these houses still look unattractive.


    Nowadays, the house rent in the security base is very expensive. If Lu Yanzhou really builds good houses for these people, other ordinary people who rent houses will certainly have opinions.


    However, although the house looked small and dilapidated, the walls were compacted and baked with fire, so it was comfortable to live in.


    There are thousands of people living in this park, so there are a lot of houses to be built.


    Faced with this situation, it¡¯s natural to save effort. Therefore, all the houses are facing east or west and are next to each other. Like this, the middle house¡¯s left and right walls are shared with the left and right houses, and the back wall is shared with the back houses, so that it was built faster.


    In the morning, Lu Yanzhou led his men to build hundreds of ten-square-meter houses.


    Most of the ordinary people living in the park have no jobs, and many of them are elderly. They watched Lu Yanzhou and others build the house with their own eyes. They also went into the house to take a closer look.


    ¡°The wall is really thick.¡±


    ¡°With such a thick wall, it¡¯s warm in winter and cool in summer, the sound insulation is also good.¡±


    ¡°The ground has been burned by fire, it¡¯s not wet at all!¡±


    ¡°Ability users are amazing!¡±


    ¡­


    They were pleasantly surprised, while Lu Yanzhou and the others were going to eat.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates said to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Boss, a cow was killed in the kitchen today. There is beef for lunch, let¡¯s go quickly!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou gave him his card: ¡°Buy me some beef and save it. I¡¯ll go back to the dormitory first.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to go back to see if Xie Chengze was back.


    He thought it was time for Xie Chengze to come back ¡ª Xie Chengze ate a pack of instant noodles and half a can of luncheon meat last night, he should have digested it long ago!


    However, when he returned to his residence, he found that the breakfast he kept in the morning was still there. There was no sign of Xie Chengze¡¯s return at all.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t come back?


    It¡¯s June now and C City is located in the south, so the temperature is very high. If the breakfast is left on for a long time, it will go bad. Lu Yanzhou can only eat the breakfast, and then rush to the cafeteria.


    His subordinates had bought him a piece of braised beef, and he didn¡¯t buy anything else. Lu Yanzhou put away the beef, went to buy some rice and vegetables, then put them in his residence.


    He is full after breakfast, so he¡¯ll save these for Xie Chengze.


    If Xie Chengze came over in the afternoon, he could eat it directly.


    After finishing all this, Lu Yanzhou went to build houses again.


    The afternoon was longer, so Lu Yanzhou built thousands of houses in this busy work.


    Basically, if he worked hard for another day, everyone here would be able to live in a new house. As for how to allocate the house, it was beyond his control ¡ª the head of the security base had already arranged for people to register the people who had been living here.


    Busy until dark, Lu Yanzhou looked at the built house and left in a hurry.


    According to the original owner¡¯s habit, after doing such a good deed, he must talk to the ordinary people present, tell them what he did, and let them think how good he is.


    However, Lu Yanzhou was thinking about Xie Chengze, so he was in a hurry to go back.


    The reason why these ability users working with Lu Yanzhou seek stability has something to do with their family members. They are also eager to go back to accompany their families.


    Everyone quickly left.


    The people who stayed behind watched them leave and couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°Lu Yanzhou is so kind.¡±


    ¡°We will have a house to live in in the future!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know when I can live there.¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze wore a mask and glasses, shrank his body and hid behind others.


    He came back for a while now, and then secretly squatted in the corner watching Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou is so handsome!


    He always thought about Lu Yanzhou during the day yesterday, and today, it goes without saying.


    He doesn¡¯t know if it¡¯s because he¡¯s full, but as long as he¡¯s free, his mind is full of Lu Yanzhou.


    He really likes this guy a lot.


    However, Lu Yanzhou likes women. He also has a mental illness, so it¡¯s impossible for him to be together with Lu Yanzhou.


    He could only watch Lu Yanzhou secretly from a distance.


    After Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze went to register and learned the rent of the house.


    The house was given to them for free for the first month, then rent will be charged for the second month. However, the rent was very low and the required contribution points use to rent were even lower than renting his stepfather¡¯s car.


    Of course, this is also because the rent for renting this car is actually a bit high.


    The person who registered them also said: ¡°For those of you who don¡¯t have a job, we will find a way to arrange a job for you. In addition, after this house needs rent, you can actually rent a room with several people, which will save money.¡±


    The house is very small, only about ten square meters, but even if they don¡¯t make bunk beds and directly make floor beds inside, it¡¯s still possible to squeeze four or five people together.


    As a result, the rent is very low.


    In addition to the food relief, the elderly can also get a little contribution point as a subsidy. A few of them can rent a house together.


    Everyone was very happy, and Xie Chengze also made up his mind to rent a room and live there for a long time.


    This is the house built by Lu Yanzhou.


    The people who registered said that they could move in tomorrow night. Of course, there is no door in this house, so they have to install the door by themselves.


    This is not a big problem, they all have some miscellaneous things on their hands, which can be used to make a door without any problem.


    For example, Xie Chengze can use the wooden plank that he used for sleeping in his car to be the door.


    That night, everyone was very happy and talking about this matter. Xie Chengze sat in the car, listening to the voices outside, but worried about another matter.


    Will Chengcheng run out again tonight? If he runs out¡­is it possible that someone will take advantage of him?


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t have Chengcheng¡¯s memory, but he can vaguely feel Chengcheng¡¯s emotions, and he also found¡­If he has a strong thought, Chengcheng can feel it too, Chengcheng can even see his memory.


    For example, he told Chengcheng some things before and Chengcheng listened to them.


    Even though he could only live in the car for the past six months, Chengcheng never cried in the car.


    He draws a picture and writes some words, saying that Chengcheng can¡¯t eat what others give, can¡¯t go to other people¡¯s house casually, and can¡¯t let other people touch his body, and he has to take his clothes back¡­


    Another very important point is that Chengcheng must come back on time and he must not tell anyone his identity!


    Xie Chengze struggled for a long time before finally lying down.


    After lying down¡­Although the car¡¯s sound insulation is not good and the car is still hot and smelly, this is his rare rest time that is completely his own after a day.


    Xie Chengze thought of Lu Yanzhou again.


    It would be great if Lu Yanzhou liked him!


    He even began to fantasize that the apocalypse did not come, and then he met Lu Yanzhou and became good friends with Lu Yanzhou¡­


    It was said that Lu Yanzhou was an ordinary laborer before the apocalypse. He didn¡¯t have much money and he couldn¡¯t even buy a house in C City¡­


    However, he was different. His biological father left him several houses and a lot of money, he could definitely let Lu Yanzhou live in his house.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze slowly fell asleep.


    When Chengcheng got up, his eyes were shining.


    It would be great if Lu Yanzhou lived in his house!


    Chengcheng can feel AXe¡¯s thoughts, he has always listened to AZe¡¯s words.


    AZe forbade him to do this or that¡­he thought it made sense.


    One must not eat other people¡¯s food casually, good children will not do that!


    As for not letting others see his body, his parents taught him that a long time ago!


    But¡­but¡­Lu Yanzhou is not someone else!


    AZe also wants to live with Lu Yanzhou!


    And he promised Lu Yanzhou. A good boy promises other people, so he must do it.


    It¡¯s just¡­He originally wanted to tell Lu Yanzhou where AZe was and he also wanted to ask Lu Yanzhou if he could let AZe live in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house¡­


    He thought Lu Yanzhou would definitely agree, so why isn¡¯t AZe willing?


    Does AZe want Lu Yanzhou to live in AZe¡¯s house instead?


    Chengcheng couldn¡¯t figure it out, but he was an obedient child.


    Glancing at the flatbread that AZe put next to him, feeling his empty stomach, Chengcheng took out the clothes that Lu Yanzhou gave him yesterday, changed into them and teleported directly to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house.


    Lu Yanzhou has been waiting desperately.


    After he came back, he made dinner and waited for Xie Chengze without eating, but Xie Chengze never came.


    The original owner beat Xie Chengze but Xie Chengze still came. He took good care of him, why didn¡¯t Xie Chengze come?


    Lu Yanzhou felt a little wronged and waited for a long time. Finally, at around eight o¡¯clock, Xie Chengze, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, came.


    ¡°Chengcheng, you¡¯re finally back. Where did you go during the day?¡± Lu Yanzhou immediately asked.


    Chengcheng blinked: ¡°Chengcheng can¡¯t say.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou pretended to be hurt on purpose: ¡°But you suddenly disappeared, I was worried.¡±


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou was sad, Chengcheng was at a loss for a moment. He thought for a moment, and then rushed forward and kissed Lu Yanzhou heavily on the face: ¡°Chengcheng is hungry!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Faced with this situation, what else can Lu Yanzhou do? Of course, immediately feed his family Chengcheng!

 CH 106

    Lu Yanzhou had dinner three hours ago, but because it¡¯s summer, the dishes do not need to be reheated, so he directly takes Xie Chengze to eat.


    Chengcheng saw so many delicious things, his eyes widened. He couldn¡¯t wait to take a piece of beef and took a big mouthful of rice.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Chengcheng, eat slowly, chew before swallowing.¡± Xie Chengze was very thin. Since the apolcapyse, he must not have lived well. He¡¯s afraid he never had enough to eat.


    In this situation, if he suddenly overeats, his stomach may be uncomfortable later.


    ¡°Um.¡± Chengcheng nodded while slowing down the speed of eating, but his eyes still stared at the dishes on the table, his mouth chewed quickly.


    He chewed it, then he opened his mouth to show Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I chewed it!¡± After that, he couldn¡¯t wait to swallow the rice and ate another mouthful.


    Lu Yanzhou felt amused: ¡°Chengcheng, I have a lot of food here, so I won¡¯t be hungry. If you want to eat, don¡¯t worry and eat as much as you want. ¡±


    Chengcheng looked up and asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Can I eat everything here?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°As long as you want to eat, you can eat anything here. However, you can¡¯t eat too much at once, your stomach will be uncomfortable.¡±


    ¡°Chengcheng is very good, Chengcheng will not eat too much.¡± Cheng Cheng¡¯s eyes fell on the candy on the table.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°These are all for Chengcheng.¡±


    Chengcheng looked at Lu Yanzhou with tears: ¡°You are so good, wait for me to have a big house in the future, I will let you live in and give you delicious food.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t expect Chengcheng to have the thought of raising him: ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank Chengcheng first.¡±


    Chengcheng replied seriously: ¡°Don¡¯t thank me.¡± Then he couldn¡¯t wait to continue eating. He used the other hand to pull the candy to him.


    He didn¡¯t like to eat these, but now he really wants to eat them!


    Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance, Lu Yanzhou had a better appetite.


    However, he didn¡¯t touch the beef on the table. Xie Chengze obviously liked the beef. This beef¡­ Although he didn¡¯t have a refrigerator here, it was still good for tomorrow. If Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t finish eating today, he can let him eat it tomorrow.


    When he was about to eat, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Chengcheng, didn¡¯t you promise me, aren¡¯t you going to live with me in the future? Why did you leave today?¡±


    Chengcheng replied: ¡°I¡¯m living here!¡± When Chengcheng woke up, he came immediately!


    ¡°Then during the day?¡±


    Chengcheng, who was thinking about how Aze always warned him not to talk about the two of them, were tangled.


    Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°You can¡¯t say it?¡± Lu Yanzhou was a little worried. Xie Chengze wouldn¡¯t be controlled during the day, right? But this is not quite right too. If Xie Chengze is really controlled, there¡¯s no way for him to come to him at night. Besides, with Xie Chengze¡¯s teleport ability, others won¡¯t be able to control him.


    Chengcheng said: ¡°I went to work during the day to make money!¡±


    ¡°Work?¡± Lu Yanzhou was surprised.


    Chengcheng nodded sincerely: ¡°I earn money, rent a big house, so you will live in my house in the future!¡± AZe also think so.


    What can Xie Chengze do with him like this? Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t figure it out, so he asked directly.


    Chengcheng said: ¡°I¡¯m saving people!¡± AZe worked in the hospital and saved people!


    Lu Yanzhou had previously suspected that Xie Chengze had been in another security base. After all, if they had a teleport ability user, how could he not know.


    Now listening to Xie Chengze say that his job was saving people¡­Lu Yanzhou thought of his ability for the first time.


    With the ability to teleport, people can be rescued from many dangerous places.


    As for how Xie Chengze saved people¡­The original owner can make Xie Chengze kill, so others can naturally coax Xie Chengze to save people!


    However, isn¡¯t that person treating Xie Chengze too badly? Xie Chengze¡¯s ability is so precious but that person does not give Xie Chengze enough to eat!


    The head of the security base is not so stupid, right?


    Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°Who asked you to save people?¡±


    This is hard for Chengcheng to answer, it was AZe, himself¡­Chengcheng finally said: ¡°It¡¯s big brother.¡±


    For Chengcheng, AXe is his big brother.


    ¡°Big brother?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Chengcheng nodded seriously and smiled: ¡°family!¡±


    ¡°Chengcheng, do you have other family members?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s mom, stepdad, and little brother¡­My dad is gone.¡± When Chengcheng said that, he seemed a little depressed.


    Lu Yanzhou patiently talked with Chengcheng and learned that when Chengcheng was a kid, he had a good father and mother who was very good to him, but then his father disappeared and his mother was with his stepfather. After that, he wasn¡¯t treated very well, and his younger brother, whom his mother gave birth to for the stepfather, also disliked him.


    In addition, Chengcheng also has a big brother, who Chengcheng likes a lot.


    ¡°They are not good for you, you don¡¯t have to be too good to them¡­Chengcheng, don¡¯t save people in the future, live with me.¡± Lu Yanzhou coaxed him.


    Chengcheng said: ¡°Big brother is going to save people¡­Big brother is very good to Chengcheng.¡±


    ¡°Big brother doesn¡¯t give Chengcheng delicious food, does he?¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Chengcheng listened to Lu Yanzhou say that AZe didn¡¯t give him delicious food, he was a bit unhappy: ¡°Big brother gave all the delicious ones to Chengcheng to eat!¡± Although Chengcheng does not want to live in the car and does not want to eat it, he knows that AZe is very good, and AZe gave him all the food.


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned. He thought that Xie Chengze was controlled by his family to make money. It isn¡¯t it?


    Lu Yanzhou asked a little bit more, he became jealous.


    He has always become the most important person to Xie Chengze, but in this world, Xie Chengze liked his big brother more.


    According to Xie Chengze¡¯s description¡­His big brother has always been good to him.


    Because of this, even if that big brother can¡¯t provide a good life to Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze still has to go to him during the day.


    Lu Yanzhou was in a complicated mood, but sincerely said, ¡°Chengcheng is full, Chengcheng should go to sleep.¡± When he said that, he began to doze off.


    AZe did a lot of work during the day. He was very tired and now that he was full.


    ¡°Chengcheng, go to take a bath first¡­¡± when Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he remembered: ¡°Chengcheng, will you go back to your big brother tomorrow?¡±


    Chengcheng nodded: ¡°um, Chengcheng is going back, big brother said I must go back.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou listened helplessly, after all¡­Xie Chengze was going to leave, he couldn¡¯t stop him!


    He wondered where Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother was¡­he asked several times, but Xie Chengze never said, so he couldn¡¯t do anything either.


    It was too short a time since he and Xie Chengze got along, so Xie Chengze did not trust him completely.


    ¡°What should you do if you have no good things to eat during the day?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked. Xie Chengze went to his big brother and could only eat rough grain flatbread. He felt distressed when he thought about it.


    Chengcheng thought about how Aze hadn¡¯t eaten good things for a long time, so he didn¡¯t feel very happy anymore.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou said helplessly: ¡°Chengcheng, when you go back tomorrow, take a little food so that you won¡¯t be hungry during the day.¡±


    Chengcheng was particularly happy to hear this: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Seeing that he agreed, Lu Yanzhou asked him to take a bath and then go to sleep. He kept telling him: ¡°Chengcheng, you must pay attention to the safety during the day, okay?¡±


    Chengcheng nodded.


    In fact, what he wants to do during the day doesn¡¯t depend on him. AZe has always paid attention to safety, so he doesn¡¯t need to worry about him at all.


    AZe is great!


    Chengcheng quickly took a shower, put on clean clothes and rushed to the bed, then fell asleep in seconds.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    The next day, Lu Yanzhou was awakened by a rustling sound. He opened his eyes and saw that Xie Chengze was pretending to eat.


    The old clothes he changed the day before yesterday were washed and dried on his hand. Now Xie Chengze was wearing these clothes.


    ¡°Chengcheng, do you have to go back so early?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°Hmm!¡± Cheng Cheng nodded seriously.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make some food for you. You eat it, okay?¡± Lu Yanzhou proposed.


    Although Chengcheng wanted to eat, he still said, ¡°It¡¯s too late!¡±


    Listening to Xie Chengze saying so, Lu Yanzhou could only take out the beef that Xie Chengze did not finish yesterday with a fresh bag and put in canned meat, braised pork, and six packs of compressed biscuits in it and give it to Xie Chengze.


    There are so many things, of course, Xie Chengze can¡¯t finish eating alone, but he¡¯s afraid that if there are fewer things prepared, Xie Chengze¡¯s family will eat all his things leaving Xie Chengze with nothing to eat.


    However, if given too much, it¡¯s not good to be taken advantage of.


    And although the original owner has food, there are not many.


    ¡°Chengcheng, you eat beef yourself, don¡¯t give it to others. This canned food of braised pork is delicious. You must try it. Although the taste of compressed biscuits is not so good, it¡¯s also good to soak it in hot water¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou gave the compressed biscuits that are usually given to the army, its taste is not as good as ordinary compressed biscuits.


    However, in the apocalypse, this is already a good thing.


    ¡°Um.¡± Chengcheng nodded, and then disappeared in front of Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± The family¡¯s beloved one ran away again!


    He wonders who that big brother is¡­Oh, one day, he will make his family¡¯s beloved one make him the most important one, not his big brother!


    Since he was already up¡­Lu Yanzhou went to the cafeteria.


    Although it was still very early, there were already people in the cafeteria. Lu Yanzhou asked for two pickles and rice balls and ate a lot.


    The most lacking in their security zone is food and energy. Although many lands have been opened for planting, food is still not enough.


    This is also one of the issues to be solved.


    If there is not enough food, how can he fatten Xie Chengze?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze¡¯s situation was, but if what Xie Chengze said was true, his big brother was very good to him. It was likely that Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother was controlled by others.


    In that case, if he wants to free Xie Chengze, maybe he must rescue Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother first.


    Xie Chengze listened to his big brother now and told him nothing, but as long as he saved enough merit and cured Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze must be willing to tell him everything!


    When Lu Yanzhou thought of this, he was motivated. After eating, he rushed to the park and helped the people there to build houses.


    Building these houses also got him merits!


    On the other hand, Xie Chengze got up early in the morning and was stunned.


    Even if his stomach is full, there is still a bunch of food around him!


    Chengcheng ran out again last night?


    The first thing he should do is to get out of the house, but Chengcheng not only ate at their house this time but also took the food?


    Xie Chengze felt uncomfortable when he thought of the person who took advantage of Chengcheng, but somehow he didn¡¯t hate that person, and even seemed to like them.


    He must be affected by Chengcheng!


    His favorite is Lu Yanzhou!


    It¡¯s just¡­a large bag of candy, precious canned lunch meat, canned braised pork, and compressed biscuits¡­That person is really too generous!


    What exactly does he want to do?


    They didn¡¯t force, nor rape or rob him¡­Xie Chengze is very confused.

 CH 107

    At first, Xie Chengze felt that the person who gave Chengcheng food and medicines should have taken a fancy to Chengcheng¡¯s appearance.


    Chengcheng is very shy towards strangers, and he also told Chengcheng not to be discovered by others¡­At that time, he thought that Chengcheng should be discovered when he was wandering outside alone, and then picked up by someone.


    Chengcheng hasn¡¯t eaten anything good for a long time, so being coaxed by people with delicious food, he might be willing to let others apply medicine on him.


    As for Chengcheng not being hurt¡­he thought it was because Chengcheng ran fast.


    Now it seems that he was wrong.


    In their security base, if those that don¡¯t have any special hobbies want to find a young and beautiful man to spend the night with, they will just give them a full meal.


    However, these things around him¡­canned braised pork, canned luncheon meat, and compressed biscuits¡­These high-calorie foods that can still be stored are treasures nowadays!


    It¡¯s unlikely that someone will be willing to pay so much for his body¡­That person didn¡¯t even touch him!


    Therefore, there is a high probability that Chengcheng¡¯s ability was discovered, and the person who discovered Chengcheng¡¯s ability wanted to make friends with Chengcheng, so he gave Chengcheng so much delicious food.


    He was really thinking too much before!


    Realizing this, Xie Chengze heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately, his guard was raised again.


    Chengcheng is like a child, although he has a powerful ability, but with his mind, he may not be able to do anything.


    More importantly, Chengcheng only comes out at night, and basically goes to bed soon after he comes out¡­


    If the man gave so much food, but finally found that Chengcheng couldn¡¯t help him with anything, would he be angry?


    Although Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help swallowing when he saw those foods, he didn¡¯t eat anything. He took the flatbread he bought yesterday and was ready to go to work.


    As a result, as soon as he went outside, he heard someone talking about Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou came early!¡±


    ¡°Today he has built so many houses!¡±


    ¡°Wait for tonight, maybe we all can live in a new house?¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou came early in the morning to build houses for them! Xie Chengze¡¯s heart beat faster, he thought for a moment, put on a big hat, bent his body and walked forward.


    From a distance, he saw Lu Yanzhou using his ability, and the houses were taking shape in front of him.


    So handsome! Xie Chengze didn¡¯t dare to look any further, so he lowered his head and left in a hurry.


    Lu Yanzhou felt something, so when he looked to the side, he saw many people looking at him with red eyes.


    He hurriedly turned around and continued to work until noon.


    Thinking that Xie Chengze might come to see him at noon, Lu Yanzhou specially bought two lunch meals and went back to his room to eat. However, even after finishing his portion and the lunch break was over, Xie Chengze still didn¡¯t come.


    Lu Yanzhou could only go back and continue building houses.


    In the district chief¡¯s office, someone came to report to him about what Lu Yanzhou had done in the past two days.


    After the man finished speaking, the district chief looked at the deputy head sitting next to him: ¡°Old Zhao, you said before that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s intentions were not right¡­You see, he is quite good.¡±


    Deputy District Chief Zhao frowned slightly: ¡°No matter what he does, he has a purpose.¡±


    ¡°So what if there is a purpose? He is willing to do it anyway.¡± District Chief Li said.


    District Chief Li and Deputy District Chief Zhao are both in their fifties. People of their age have met many people and have had a rich experience.


    It was also because of this that the first time they saw Lu Yanzhou, they found that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were full of ambition, and they found that Lu Yanzhou was a bit hypocritical, he did everything for fame and fortune.


    Deputy District Chief Zhao felt that Lu Yanzhou was too utilitarian and disliked Lu Yanzhou very much, but District Chief Li felt that it was nothing.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou only wanted to climb up, he did so within the rules, because if he wanted to climb up, Lu Yanzhou would work hard to maintain his image and not do bad things¡­Isn¡¯t that good?


    In contrast, he felt that Zhou Jingshan and Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates were more difficult to manage.


    Because ability users are powerful, the security base has always given many privileges to ability users. However, some people that suddenly obtain ability, or after gaining great power, their mentality will change a lot, they will look down on others.


    There are also some ability users who have been killing zombies. Those ability users, who did not come to the security base in time at the beginning of the apocalypse, may have killed people before¡­Prolonged killing can also make them disregard ordinary people¡¯s lives.


    Nowadays, many ability users feel that this apocalypse is actually a cleanse for humans. Only those with ability are the chosen ones to live.


    There are also ideas like ¡®people are selfish, since no one helps them, they don¡¯t need to help others¡¯, which is endless.


    In fact, Zhou Jingshan is good compared with some of Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates.


    Although Zhou Jingshan was unruly, at least he didn¡¯t feel that ordinary people should not exist.


    District Chief Li and Deputy District Chief Zhao actually felt that now they need to educate people in the security base, so as to twist everyone into a rope, but there are too many problems facing the safe zone, so they can¡¯t do anything.


    Previously when Lu Yanzhou said that he would help to settle the poor people who did not work, District Chief Li thought he was just saying that but he really went to do it now ¡­District Chief Li was quite relieved.


    Deputy District Chief Zhao also changed a lot toward Lu Yanzhou.


    On the other side, Zhou Jingshan also knew what Lu Yanzhou did.


    Regarding this, Zhou Jingshan only felt disdain: ¡°That surname Lu will only do superficial work like this. If anything happens, he will run faster than anyone else.¡±


    Before the apocalypse, Zhou Jingshan liked to try extreme sports. After the apocalypse, this the weak are prey to the strong world made his adrenaline soared.


    He likes the present life, as for Lu Yanzhou¡­he doesn¡¯t care about him.


    However, he didn¡¯t want to conflict with Lu Yanzhou. It was troublesome, and he got no benefit either.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability made Lu Yanzhou seem like a turtle, so he didn¡¯t want to fight the turtle shell!


    As for those ordinary people¡­why should he help and save them? He was very disgusted with those people that took it for granted.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know about the others¡¯ thoughts.


    In two days, he built nearly 4,000 houses, and his ability was overused many times, but his ability control also improved.


    Earth components are complicated, and there are many particles produced from weathering of rocks, so in theory, he can also control stone.


    Now Lu Yanzhou can indeed control the stone.


    After finishing his work, Lu Yanzhou returned to his place as usual, waiting for Xie Chengze to come to him.


    He gave Xie Chengze so much, so Xie Chengze¡¯s family should let Xie Chengze come early?


    However¡­Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou was waiting for him. He was, at this moment, excitedly waiting to live in the new house.


    He has been registered and can get the house, but they find that he has a job, so the person in charge of registering them said: ¡°Now is June, the rent of people who do not work in July can be avoided, but you have a job, so you need to pay the rent. ¡±


    ¡°I will pay.¡± Xie Chengze answered.


    Listening to Xie Chengze, the man arranged a house for Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze got the number card and went to his house in excitement, then moved the things in his car too.


    There was no door in this house, so he took out his bed board and used it as the door.


    Xie Chengze spent a lot of time installing the door, then laid a piece of cloth on the ground and laid down.


    He lived in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house, so good.


    The car was really uncomfortable to live in. He almost froze in winter, but now with a house, after sorting everything, he could definitely live comfortably.


    Xie Chengze was full of expectations for the future, but soon thought of his dilemma ¡ª would he go to eat and drink again at night?


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze took out a piece of paper to write and draw, trying to express what he wanted Chengcheng to do ¡ª he wanted Chengcheng to pay attention to safety, and Chengcheng had to take those foods back.


    Without contribution, in this apocalypse, Chengcheng should not take such valuable things.


    Xie Chengze fell asleep late tonight. When Chengcheng woke up, it was a bit late.


    However, Chengcheng is very happy.


    He lived in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house!


    AZe lived in the house Lu Yanzhou built, so it should be okay for him to go to sleep at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house too!


    It¡¯s just, why didn¡¯t AZe eat what Lu Yanzhou gave and even ask him to return it?


    Chengcheng didn¡¯t understand but Chengcheng still took the things back obediently.


    It¡¯s ten o¡¯clock but Chengcheng hasn¡¯t come yet, Lu Yanzhou is anxious, so when Chengcheng finally appeared in front of him, he was relieved: ¡°Chengcheng, why do you come so late?¡±


    Chengcheng said: ¡°A¡­um, big brother is very busy.¡±


    ¡°What is he busy with?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Chengcheng replied, ¡°We moved to a new house!¡±


    It turned out to be busy moving¡­Lu Yanzhou was about to ask a few more questions when he saw Chengcheng take out the food he took away in the morning.


    Oh, there is still something that wasn¡¯t brought back. The leftover beef from last night, Chengcheng should have eat it.


    ¡°Chengcheng, this thing is for you, why didn¡¯t you eat it?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Chengcheng thought for a moment, then said: ¡°Big brother said that to eat then we have to do things, big brother don¡¯t want it.


    Lu Yanzhou pondered it for a moment, then he understood the reason.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother was afraid that he would make Xie Chengze do dangerous things, so he didn¡¯t accept these things?


    If one looks at it like this¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother is pretty good to Xie Chengze?


    ¡°Chengcheng, what did your big brother eat during the day? What about you?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Chengcheng said: ¡°Unpalatable flatbread.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was relieved. He was worried that Xie Chengze¡¯s family would treat Xie Chengze as a cash cow. Fortunately, they did not.


    In this case¡­he may be able to communicate with Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother ¡ª as long as he writes and Xie Chengze takes it back.


    No matter what, he has to let Xie Chengze eat better.


    Xie Chengze brought everything back today except for the beef. This shows that Xie Chengze only ate unpalatable flatbread during the day¡­how is that okay!


    ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Lu Yanzhou heard his words and immediately took out the food he had prepared for Xie Chengze to eat.


    He had eaten in advance, so he watched him eat beside him, and also wrote to Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother by the way.


    He hopes that Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother can accept the food he gave.


    Of course, he must write the reason why he gave food¡­Lu Yanzhou pondered and wrote a lot.


    In short, Chengcheng¡¯s ability is very precious, so he should have the best treatment. As for Chengcheng being unable to go out to do missions now, it doesn¡¯t matter. Chengcheng should treat his body first, and he will also teach Chengcheng how to use his ability¡­


    Lu Yanzhou wrote very sincerely, and also said that since they¡¯re in the apocalypse now, Chengcheng needs to learn to protect himself.


    Of course, this is just writing.


    With him, Xie Chengze won¡¯t be in danger!


    When Lu Yanzhou finished writing the letter, he took out another bucket, then put everything in it with the letter, and let Chengcheng take it back tomorrow.


    Chengcheng nodded, then frowned and shook his head: ¡°Big brother don¡¯t accept.¡±


    ¡°Chengcheng, I wrote a letter to your big brother. Let him read it.¡±


    ¡°Then won¡¯t you have nothing to eat?¡± Chengcheng was a little worried.


    ¡°No, I have a lot of food! Chengcheng, I¡¯m not short of anything. If you want anything, I can get it for you.¡± Lu Yanzhou was very close to patting his chest to guarantee.


    Chengcheng looked admiringly at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I want tables, chairs, and bed.¡± He remembered that AZe wanted these.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was stared by Chengcheng, answered without any hesitation: ¡°You can take the bed and table from my room!¡± He could go out to take some back again.


    ¡°You are so good!¡± Chengcheng, who was looking at Lu Yanzhou, felt moved.


    ¡°That Chengcheng, do you think I¡¯m better, or is your big brother better?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked suddenly.


    Chengcheng felt that this was not easy to answer, so he didn¡¯t speak.


    Lu Yanzhou was sour like lemon. He suddenly felt that he was very sour for no reason.


    He and Xie Chengze only knew each other for three days. Why would Xie Chengze feel that he is better?


    However, Xie Chengze was with his big brother most of the day. He only came here to eat and sleep¡­


    He can¡¯t be jealous!


    One day, he wants to let Chengcheng know that he is the person who will accompany Chengcheng for a lifetime.


    As for big brother-in-law¡­he can¡¯t offend him.


    T/N: Wasn¡¯t married yet, in fact they weren¡¯t even dating, and already calling brother-in-law.

 CH 108

    Afraid that Chengcheng would be tired, after Chengcheng had finished eating and had a quick wash, Lu Yanzhou let him go to sleep.


    Chengcheng fell asleep in seconds. He slept very soundly, his little face was flushed.


    Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart almost melted. He gently fell asleep beside him.


    It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s been too hot recently, because the security base lacks energy, so he doesn¡¯t turn on the air conditioner, so Chengcheng doesn¡¯t get into his arms.


    Lu Yanzhou felt a little lost.


    Before Xie Chengze¡¯s illness is cured, he will not do anything to Xie Chengze, but if Xie Chengze gets close to him, he is also looking forward to it.


    It¡¯s a pity, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t kiss him today. He definitely doesn¡¯t want to be next to him who is hot tonight.


    When Chengcheng woke up the next day to go to the toilet, Lu Yanzhou also woke up.


    The first day Chengcheng teleported away as soon as he woke up, so he didn¡¯t know. However, now Chengcheng would take a stroll in the room when he got up in the morning, so Lu Yanzhou would naturally wake up too.


    ¡°Chengcheng, don¡¯t forget to take the things I prepared for you. You must show your brother the letter inside.¡± Lu Yanzhou remind Chengcheng.


    He wrote that letter very sincerely, but he didn¡¯t write his signature. His understanding of his brother-in-law comes from Chengcheng¡¯s description. Chengcheng also refused to say many things¡­in the chance of his brother-in-law¡¯s uncertain character, he won¡¯t inform the other party of his identity for now.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Chengcheng nodded seriously.


    ¡°My table, chairs and bed, you can take whatever you want¡­Can you take it? How about taking them all?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Chengcheng frowned and thought for a moment, then pressed his hand on the dining table in front of Lu Yanzhou, and then the table disappeared!


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback.


    Chengcheng was very happy: ¡°Chengcheng can pack them up and take them home!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°Chengcheng is really amazing! Chengcheng is the best!¡±


    Chengcheng puffed out his small chest, very proud of himself.


    ¡°Then Chengcheng, take everything you want.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. According to the current situation, Xie Chengze¡¯s ability in this world should not be teleportation, but space!


    Xie Chengze can control space, so he can teleport, and now that he can ¡®take¡¯ the table ¨C he should have the space ability!


    This ability is really easy to use and very useful!


    ¡°Then where do you sleep at night?¡± Chengcheng was a little puzzle.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯ll get a better bed later.¡±


    Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, Chengcheng was so excited that he packed up the 1.8-meter bed in the bedroom with the bedding on it.


    After taking, seeing that it was almost time, Chengcheng said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he immediately disappeared in front of Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± This little heartless person, who is in such a hurry to leave, can¡¯t he stay with him a little longer?


    Looking at his empty room, Lu Yanzhou sighed.


    He has to go to the city to find supplies, otherwise he won¡¯t be able to support his family¡¯s beloved one!


    In fact, the best way for a ability user to make a fortune is to go out of the city to find supplies.


    It has been a year since the apocalypse, so the nearby supplies have been brought back by the army, but if they go farther, they can still find a lot of things.


    He¡¯s looking for a bed, a table, and chairs, so it¡¯s even easier!


    It¡¯s a pity that there are very few space-type ability users, and even fewer people have enough space to store things¡­There are only two registered ability users with space in the entire C city security base.


    Of these two people, one of them has very little space. He is in the army, and usually does not go out on missions, and the other¡­is the girl that the original owner has been chasing after the apocalypse.


    Not only does this girl have a large space, but she can also kill people with space blades. It wasn¡¯t known how many people wanted to get her.


    She is also very smart. At the beginning of the apocalypse, she took the initiative to approach the army and help the army.


    The people in the army treated her very well, and she also helped the army bring back a lot of supplies, which gave her a high status in the security field. She was also one of the deputy district chiefs of the security base.


    The original owner pursued her because of her status as the deputy district chief and because of her special and powerful ability.


    As for Zhou Jingshan¡¯s pursuit of her¡­It¡¯s said that before the apocalypse, she and Zhou Jingshan had something to do with each other. Unfortunately, the two didn¡¯t talk about the specifics, so others didn¡¯t know.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to go out of the city to look for supplies, the best way was to ask her for help.


    As long as the reward is enough, this girl is willing. When the original owner left the security base to find supplies, he always asked her to ¡®cooperate¡¯.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to do that.


    He already has Xie Chengze, so it¡¯s better to keep a distance from this girl.


    Lu Yanzhou found a big truck, and finally took ten of his men, planning to go out of the city to find something.


    C City security base is located in the suburbs of C City, next to C City¡¯s downtown area.


    A year has passed, and most of the urban areas in C City have been rummaged, but there are many surrounding villages and towns that no one has visited, so Lu Yanzhou chose a small town.


    Before the apocalypse, one hour was enough to drive from their side to that small town, in the present, however, this time is definitely not enough. It¡¯s said that many of the roads there are blocked¡­


    For this reason, Lu Yanzhou specially brought some more earth-type ability users to open the way.


    While Lu Yanzhou was preparing to go out to look for supplies, Xie Chengze had already woken up, and then he was stunned by his cramped room.


    He was already shocked when Chengcheng brought back so much food yesterday, but today¡­Chengcheng even brought him a bed and a table?


    His room is ten square meters in size. There was no furniture at all before, but now there is a 1.8 meter bed, a table and two chairs¡­It looks just right.


    Xie Chengze was lying in a big bed with a thick mattress, sleeping in a particularly comfortable bed, feeling a little dazed.


    Did Chengcheng go looting? Well, it could be stealing.


    Thinking of this possibility, Xie Chengze simply didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Chengcheng has always been a good boy, but now he has learned to be bad?


    Sitting up from the bed, Xie Chengze saw a plastic bucket on the bed at a glance. He had always wanted a plastic bucket that could hold water¡­Now he not only has a bucket, but it¡¯s also full of food.


    It was the food from yesterday, and there was a letter inside.


    Xie Chengze was taken aback, did Chengcheng tell about his existence?


    How else would anyone write to him?


    After opening the letter and reading it, Xie Chengze realized that the other party didn¡¯t know his condition but regarded him as Chengcheng¡¯s big brother.


    Judging from the content of this letter, the other party took a fancy to Chengcheng¡¯s abilities and wanted to recruit Chengcheng.


    He was giving both food and furniture, this person obviously attached great importance to Chengcheng. However, because of this, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t trust him.


    Since the apocalypse, he has seen a lot of human ugly nature.


    Chengcheng¡¯s ability is teleportation, but he has no combat power. Who knows what the other party wants Chengcheng to do after he recruits him?


    That person is willing to pay so much, it must be something very dangerous that Chengcheng has to do.


    Although life is difficult in the apocalypse, Xie Chengze still wants to live.


    He fell in love with Lu Yanzhou recently. He wants to live for a long time, so that he can see Lu Yanzhou from time to time.


    Xie Chengze planned to write a letter in the evening, telling the other party that Chengcheng could not help the other party.


    As for the furniture and food¡­Chengcheng couldn¡¯t stop himself from eating, but he could.


    Xie Chengze hurried to work.


    There is only one hospital in the entire security base, so their hospital is very very busy.


    Before the apocalypse, Xie Chengze was only a first-year college student, not yet qualified to practice medicine. He worked as a nurse in the hospital, helping to take care of patients.


    He and some other male nurses also have to do all kinds of physical work, so they are very tired every day.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t eat much during the day before, so he only relied on his youth to survive.


    However, he was already a little bit overwhelmed by then.


    ¡°Xu Ze, you¡¯re late again!¡± Seeing Xie Chengze, the middle-aged man in charge of managing these male nurses, said dissatisfied.


    The prescribed working time is eight o¡¯clock, and now it¡¯s already seven fifty. Xie Chengze is not late, but the person in charge has always asked them to come over at seven forty, and then listen to his lectures.


    Xie Chengze lowered his head and apologized repeatedly: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    The person in charge reprimands Xie Chengze a few words before letting Xie Chengze go to change clothes for work.


    They put on their white coats and started a busy day. Most of the people were quiet and numb. Only a man in his thirties spoke to Xie Chengze: ¡°Little Xu, why are you here so late these days?¡±


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°I overslept.¡±


    The man said: ¡°You overslept, there is really nothing you can do about it. In fact, at your age, you should sleep well. You see, after you have slept well these few days, your whole complexion has improved.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little embarrassed. His good complexion was not because he slept well, but purely because Chengcheng ate a lot of other people¡¯s food.


    The work in the hospital is divided into day shift and night shift. Xie Chengze¡¯s situation is special, so he works the day shift every day. His working hours go from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.


    When it was time to get off work, Xie Chengze briefly scrubbed himself in the hospital, then left in a hurry.


    He used to buy flatbread for Chengcheng to eat, but now¡­Chengcheng probably won¡¯t eat it, so he won¡¯t buy it.


    Like this, he can buy fresh ones to eat tomorrow instead of eating cold and hard ones that have been left overnight.


    Back at the residence, Xie Chengze sat on a chair and began to write a letter to the person who gave Chengcheng a lot of things.


    He stated in the letter that Chengcheng is in a special situation and cannot do many things, so he is embarrassed to accept the other party¡¯s things.


    As for the other party asking Chengcheng to go there during the day¡­they¡¯re quite busy, so Chengcheng can¡¯t go. Chengcheng is only free at night.


    He also told the other party not to expect too much from Chengcheng.


    After writing the letter, Xie Chengze put it on the table and lay down on the bed.


    The bed is very soft, and the bedding on it is also used by someone else. This bed may belong to that person¡­


    However, for some reason, Xie Chengze did not seem to reject it.


    He even had the urge to let Chengcheng tell that person everything.


    He doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with him¡­He can¡¯t stand the hard life now, so he doesn¡¯t hesitate to let Chengcheng do dangerous things in order to live a good life?


    With a wry smile, Xie Chengze closed his eyes and began to think about Lu Yanzhou.


    He found that it¡¯s good to have someone he likes, and with someone he likes, he has a little comfort in a difficult environment.


    As for Chengcheng and that person¡­He told Chengcheng not to trust strangers, and not to tell others about them.


    If that person knew Chengcheng and his situation, he would definitely not like Chengcheng!


    At the same time, Lu Yanzhou returned to the security base exhausted with a truck full of things.


    C City is located on the coast of Jiangnan. It¡¯s still a plain, and the population is very dense. There are no mountains at a glance, even in the countryside, there are houses everywhere.


    Before the apocalypse, there were too many people and vehicles, and there was always a traffic jam. After the apocalypse, everyone started fleeing¡­There were scraps of vehicles and zombies, and the roads were all blocked.


    The road to that small town hadn¡¯t been cleared, so it was completely impassable. Lu Yanzhou could only use his earth ability to move all those cars away, he even used his ability to rebuild a road.


    How is this looking for supplies and killing zombies¡­he is going to build roads!


    Fortunately, when they got to the town, they found not only plenty to eat, but also all the furniture which can furnish the room.


    He must set these furniture before Chengcheng comes, so that Chengcheng will feel that he is omnipotent!

 CH 109

    Although Lu Yanzhou was building roads all the way back and exhausted his ability several times to the point of exhaustion, he still gained a lot.


    Although it was a town, the population of the town was more than 100,000 before the apocalypse, so there were many shops and residents in the town, its prosperity was not inferior to that of some county towns.


    The supermarkets and food stores inside have all been rummaged, so there are not many things left, but some restaurants are still the same.


    Lu Yanzhou took people in to search and found some edible things, such as bagged rice, bacon, vermicelli, and many other seasonings.


    As for the possibility that these things are expired¡­People these days really don¡¯t care that much.


    He also found a furniture store and took a bed, a table, and two dining chairs from it.


    His subordinates were puzzled by this, so Lu Yanzhou could only say: ¡°When I was practicing my ability, I accidentally broke the furniture in the room.¡±


    So that¡¯s it! Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates really admired Lu Yanzhou. They felt that their boss was really a diligent person who practiced his ability all the time.


    Their truck is quite big, so after the furniture is taken apart, it can hold a lot of things.


    They have already distributed the goods on the way back.


    They distributed all the good quality food, leaving some not so good quality food, such as rice noodles that have passed the expiration date but can still be eaten and other things. After discussing with them, Lu Yanzhou planned to share them with those elderly who don¡¯t work.


    The original owner did the same thing before, so everyone had no objections, and even helped Lu Yanzhou move the furniture to his room door.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t let them enter the room. He was afraid that Xie Chengze¡¯s sudden appearance would be seen by these people.


    So he brought those things into the room and assembled them himself.


    Before the apocalypse, people usually hired others to install furniture, but after a year¡­Now people¡¯s hands-on ability can be said to be very good.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly assembled the furniture. Looking at the time, it was already eight o¡¯clock.


    Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t come yet¡­Lu Yanzhou was a little thankful, but also a little disappointed, so he went into the bathroom to take a shower first.


    As a result, while he was washing, Chengcheng suddenly opened the door and came in.


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback. He covered the key parts with a towel, and said to Chengcheng, ¡°Chengcheng, you¡¯re here?¡±


    Chengcheng looked at Lu Yanzhou intently and nodded.


    ¡°You go out first, I¡¯ll finish washing soon.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    In the end, Chengcheng didn¡¯t even blink his eyes and didn¡¯t intend to leave at all: ¡°No, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± How can he do this?


    But he seemed to have no reason to make Chengcheng go out. He had helped Chengcheng take a bath before, so now he could only let Chengcheng watch him take a shower.


    Lu Yanzhou could only turn his back to Chengcheng and take a shower in embarrassment.


    Ignoring that, while Chengcheng looked at him, he said sweetly: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I really like you!¡±


    Chengcheng really likes Lu Yanzhou very much, he knows that AZe also likes Lu Yanzhou.


    But he didn¡¯t dare to tell Lu Yanzhou about the matter between him and AZe. Sigh. Aze has already said it, if he said it, Lu Yanzhou would not like him.


    Previously, his mother didn¡¯t like him very much and yelled at him, and his stepfather and younger brother also didn¡¯t like him either¡­


    Chengcheng doesn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to hate him either.


    He really likes Lu Yanzhou, now he really wants to pounce on him and hug Lu Yanzhou tightly.


    But that might scare Lu Yanzhou, so he has to endure it!


    At most¡­he can only kiss Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face, right?


    Lu Yanzhou blushed from Chengcheng confession.


    The security base lacks energy, so he uses cold water for showering, but the cold water cannot suppress the heat on his body.


    After quickly getting dressed, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I also like Chengcheng.¡±


    Chengcheng asked: ¡°Then do you like¡­like my big brother?¡±


    ¡°I only like Chengcheng.¡± Lu Yanzhou said. He is fine, why should he like his brother-in-law?


    Chengcheng is still introducing AZe to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°My big brother is very smart and powerful, much better than me.¡±


    ¡°But I only like Chengcheng!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    When Chengcheng heard this, he looked at Lu Yanzhou angrily.


    Lu Yanzhou could only say: ¡°I have never met your big brother, so of course it¡¯s impossible for me to like him.¡±


    This sounded right, but something was wrong. Chengcheng pondered for a moment, and could only say: ¡°If you meet my big brother, you will definitely like him.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Chengze probably says that because he is a fool now, he will never say such things again after he recovers from his illness.


    In their previous life, a scholar only said a few words to him and Xie Chengze was jealous for several days. He was always watched by Xie Chengze¡¯s people, he was not allowed to have more than enough contact with other people¡­


    After returning home today, Lu Yanzhou was busy assembling the furniture, so he didn¡¯t cook, but he asked someone to buy two dinners for him.


    Chickens have been raised in the security base, so dinner tonight is braised chicken, fried eggplant and rice.


    The taste is not good, but Chengcheng is still very satisfied.


    During the meal, Lu Yanzhou kept chatting with Chengcheng, so he knew that during the day, Chengcheng¡¯s big brother still didn¡¯t eat the food he asked Chengcheng to bring, and of course Chengcheng didn¡¯t eat either.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Brother-in-law is quite stubborn!


    ¡°Big brother also wrote a letter!¡± Chengcheng handed a letter to Lu Yanzhou, ¡°big brother also asked me to return the food to you¡­but I didn¡¯t take it.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou accepted the letter helplessly, then after reading it, he had a good impression of his brother-in-law.


    His brother-in-law didn¡¯t eat his food because he was afraid that he would make Xie Chengze do dangerous things.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately wrote a reply letter to reassure the other party, saying that he would never make Chengcheng do dangerous things and would definitely protect Chengcheng, he also expressed his desire to have a face-to-face meeting with the other party.


    After writing the reply, Lu Yanzhou thought about it, then asked someone to buy six rice balls from the cafeteria that was still open at this time.


    This thing can¡¯t be kept for a long time, so he asked Chengcheng to take it back for Chengcheng and his brother to eat tomorrow.


    Two people and three meals a day, exactly one rice ball per meal.


    ¡°Chengcheng, I¡¯m worried about you.¡± Lu Yanzhou put away the six rice balls and two bottles of bibimbap sauce he found today, then prepared for Xie Chengze to take them back tomorrow.


    Chengcheng kissed Lu Yanzhou on the face: ¡°You are the best!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly felt that no matter how hard or tired he was, it was all worth it.


    Chengcheng has become familiar with Lu Yanzhou these days, so he is not afraid of Lu Yanzhou at all and kisses the other side of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face too: ¡°I like you the most!¡±


    ¡°What about your big brother?¡±


    ¡°I also like him the most!¡± Chengcheng did not hesitate.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Chengcheng came early today, but after he washed up, it was past ten o¡¯clock, so Lu Yanzhou urged him to go to bed early ¡ª he leaves at six o¡¯clock every day, he should go to bed early!


    As soon as Chengcheng left the next day, Lu Yanzhou went out. After buying breakfast, he took his subordinate to distribute the food brought back yesterday.


    After the distribution, they plan to go to that town again¡ªthere probably still a lot of supplies there.


    Lu Yanzhou had just helped the people in the park build houses two days ago, so he planned to distribute food to them too. He didn¡¯t do it himself this time, but asked the person who was in charge of distributing the house to distribute it.


    So, as soon as Xie Chengze got up, he stared at the six rice balls in a daze, then he heard that Lu Yanzhou had sent some food to distribute to those who lived here and had no jobs.


    He had a job, so he couldn¡¯t get Lu Yanzhou¡¯s food, but he got six rice balls from the person Chengcheng liked.


    In fact, Xie Chengze has always told Chengcheng not to meet that person, but Chengcheng didn¡¯t listen to him. In the past few days, he could also feel that¡­Chengcheng likes that person very much.


    Chengcheng should fall in love with that person, just like how he he loves Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze was very worried about this matter.


    He didn¡¯t want the rice balls given by the other party either.


    But this rice ball is different from canned food and compressed biscuits. If he doesn¡¯t eat it on such a hot day, it will be spoiled!


    The other party also said in the letter that no matter what, he shouldn¡¯t starve Chengcheng and give Chengcheng unpalatable and non nutritious flatbread.


    Chengcheng is actually him, and if he doesn¡¯t eat these, it¡¯s equivalent to Chengcheng not eating¡­at the end, Xie Chengze picked up the rice ball and took a bite.


    It¡¯s really delicious!


    He had forgotten how long he hadn¡¯t eaten such a good thing!


    The rice balls that Lu Yanzhou bought were considered expensive in the cafeteria.


    It has rice on the outside, pickles, meat, and other things in the middle. It depends on what ingredients are available in the cafeteria.


    The one Xie Chengze ate had potato shreds and bacon wrapped in the middle. The bacon was a bit fat and oily, but he was really indescribably satisfied when he bit into it.


    He hasn¡¯t eaten meat this year.


    When Xie Chengze went to the hospital, he took the remaining five rice balls with him.


    Thinking that he could eat another rice ball at noon, he felt that his whole body was full of energy, then he couldn¡¯t help but spurn himself¡ªhe didn¡¯t do anything for the other person, how could he take the other person¡¯s things?


    And¡­that person actually gave it to Chengcheng¡­


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mood was extremely complicated.


    After working for a day, Xie Chengze took the extra rice balls and went to find his mother and stepfather.


    The car he lived in before actually belonged to his stepfather. Now he doesn¡¯t need to rent this car, so he needs to tell his stepfather.


    He moved the day before yesterday, so he already cleaned the car inside and out yesterday. He planned to return the car today, and now that there are more than three rice balls, he can use it as a gift.


    It was a bit generous, but he couldn¡¯t finish it.


    The person who gave Chengcheng rice balls obviously has no shortage of food, and it¡¯s not good to return the rice balls after leaving them for a day¡­Still, he definitely has to write a letter to ask the other party not to give him any more food. If he really wants to give, he can just send him a letter.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mother, his stepfather, and younger brother rented a master bedroom with a bathroom in a house together.


    There is a shortage of houses in the security base, so most people live like this.


    After Xie Chengze arrived, he gave them three rice balls.


    Seeing the white rice, the eyes of the three were about to glow, but when Xie Chengze explained why he came, his stepfather said, ¡°Isn¡¯t your living condition not good? Why don¡¯t you continue renting it?¡±


    ¡°I found a suitable house¡­¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t share a room with others in your situation, isn¡¯t it good to live in a car?¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s stepfather immediately said, obviously a little unhappy.


    Xie Chengze knew why his stepfather was like this.


    He works in the hospital, so his monthly salary is 1200 contribution points, and renting his stepfather¡¯s car is 300 contribution points.


    This price is not cheap, if he is willing to live in a hostel, it¡¯s only one hundred and fifty contribution points a month. If he is willing to share a room with someone, three hundred contribution points is also enough.


    It¡¯s just that his situation is special, so he cannot live with others.


    By the way, next month¡¯s rent for the house built by Lu Yanzhou is also 300 contribution points.


    So his stepfather was unhappy, simply because he didn¡¯t want to lose the 300 contribution points per month.


    Before the apocalypse, his stepfather was very rich and always very generous to others, he was also good to him. After the apocalypse, he became like this¡­


    Xie Chengze used to endure it, but he had encountered a lot of things in the past few days that made him feel irritated, so he said, ¡°Uncle Yang, you can put up your car for rent, the cost can go up to a 100 contribution points a month.¡±


    Gasoline is scarce in the security base, so ordinary people can¡¯t afford to drive a car at all. Fuel family cars are worthless in the security base, so if he really wants to rent them, you can rent them for about 50 contribution points at most.


    ¡°Then I can rent it to you for one hundred a month.¡± Said his stepfather.


    Xie Chengze refused: ¡°No need, I already rented a house.¡±


    His biological father was killed in a car accident to protect him. After that, Chengcheng appeared more and more and never grew up, causing a lot of trouble for his mother.


    Therefore, though he admitted that his mother didn¡¯t like him very much, he was still willing to give her something.


    However, he also has to live, so he needs contribute points.


    Besides, he has eaten a lot of someone else¡¯s things for nothing recently, even if he has some contribution points, he should save them and give it to the person who gave Chengcheng all kinds of food.

 CH 110

    Xie Chengze was unwilling to rent that car again, so his mother and stepfather were helpless.


    Leaving those three rice balls behind, Xie Chengze said goodbye to them. When his mother sent him out, she was also muttering: ¡°What are you doing with such expensive rice balls? Wasting contribution points, I can¡¯t even get enough to eat now¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze was very silent.


    His biological father was very rich and his stepfather was also rich before the apocalypse. More than a year ago, his mother would not eat this or that all day long, but now¡­


    Life can really change a person.


    Let¡¯s just talk about him¡­He knew that he shouldn¡¯t eat the food given by the person Chengcheng likes, but he still ate it¡­


    When he returned to his residence and saw the furniture in his room, Xie Chengze was even more helpless.


    He took a pen and began to write a letter.


    About the matter of meeting, of course he had to refuse. He also asked the other party not to prepare his food portion in the future, only to prepare Chengcheng portion.


    When writing this, Xie Chengze was a little embarrassed.


    After all, he¡¯s the one who ate it in the end.


    He and Chengcheng share the same body, so many things are unclear. Now that he likes Lu Yanzhou and Chengcheng likes that person, it makes him feel like a scumbag¡­


    But it¡¯s really comfortable to eat well and live in a dry and clean house.


    While Xie Chengze felt very comfortable, Lu Yanzhou was a little uncomfortable.


    It started when they set off for that town in the morning.


    At that time, when he came to the gathering place, he realized that his subordinates had called the female space-type ability user who the original owner had been chasing for a long time.


    This space ability user is called Gu Tan. She has a very large space. Whether it¡¯s the original owner, Zhou Jingshan, or the military, they all like to take her with them when they go to collect supplies.


    Now that energy is scarce, gasoline is even more precious, for their security base, it¡¯s not cost-effective to arrange a convoy to collect supplies and use up a lot of gasoline. However, it would be different if she were to follow!


    She can carry several trucks by herself!


    The original owner has been pursuing her and intends to confess to her. The original owner¡¯s subordinates also know about these things. They thought that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t ask her to come with him yesterday because it was tiring to fix the road yesterday, and¡­didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou bring some furniture home yesterday?


    They felt that Lu Yanzhou deliberately did not bring Gu Tan because he wanted to avoid Gu Tan while he found something to decorate his new house.


    Today is different¡­their boss is embarrassed to call Gu Tan but they can call the person to create opportunities for their boss. They can also take more supplies back by the way.


    Gu Tan is a native of C City, so many members of her family have survived. She needs supplies to support her family, so she is naturally willing to participate in such activities, so she came early.


    It was impossible for Lu Yanzhou to drive away Gu Tan, a space ability user who came to help and the deputy head of the security base, so he could only search for supplies with Gu Tan for a day.


    Of course, he can swear that he didn¡¯t say more than ten sentences to Gu Tan today!


    Because of Gu Tan¡¯s presence, they didn¡¯t drive a truck when they went there. They drove a van, and on the way there, Lu Yanzhou sat on the roof of the car and cleaned up the surrounding zombies.


    He used his ability to control the little stones, using the little stones as bullets, and killed a large number of zombies at once.


    When he got to the town, he rushed out to find supplies again without stopping for a moment.


    As for the way back¡­Of course he was sitting on the roof of the car again!


    He didn¡¯t want others to think that he still liked Gu Tan, which would not only make Xie Chengze unhappy but also bring trouble to Gu Tan.


    Gu Tan has never liked the original owner, the person she likes is Zhou Jingshan.


    However, Lu Yanzhou, who had spent a long time in the sun on the roof of the car and worked hard for a long time, returned to the security base, only to hear his subordinates say: ¡°Boss, you behaved very manly today! You didn¡¯t tire Miss Gu at all.¡±


    ¡°Boss, are you deliberately ignoring Miss Gu today? The effect is good, Miss Gu even asked me about you!¡±


    ¡°Boss, Miss Gu has agreed to go out with us again tomorrow.¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He was completely tanned!


    Fortunately, Gu Tan has already left, so she can¡¯t hear these things!


    Lu Yanzhou felt a little helpless. Of course, the most urgent task now is to explain this matter clearly.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Don¡¯t bring me and Gu Tan together in the future.¡±


    ¡°Boss?¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates were puzzled.


    ¡°I fell in love with someone else, now I don¡¯t like Gu Tan,¡± Lu Yanzhou explained, ¡°If you put me and Gu Tan together, the person I like will be angry if he finds out.¡±


    ¡°Boss, who do you like?¡± Everyone was very surprised. After all, except for Gu Tan, they didn¡¯t see Lu Yanzhou showing love to anyone else.


    The most important thing is that Lu Yanzhou was still pursuing Gu Tan a few days ago.


    How did he change so quickly?


    ¡°I can¡¯t tell you for the time being.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze is now a fool, if others know of his existence and his ability, they might find a way to deal with him.


    Zhou Jingshan is not the kind of person who will play dirty tricks, at most he has 8th grade syndrome, but Zhou Jingshan has all kinds of people under his command.


    There are even murderers in there, it would be bad if they target Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to wait for Xie Chengze to recover before introducing Xie Chengze to the people around him.


    Lu Yanzhou said it very seriously, so his subordinates also believed it, then they felt a little entangled: ¡°Then tomorrow¡­do you want to reject Miss Gu?¡±


    They invited Gu Tan to go with them tomorrow.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°No, it¡¯s okay to work together, just don¡¯t put us together.¡± At most, he¡¯ll¡­just squatted on the roof of the car for a few more days.


    Just like exercising his ability.


    ¡°Boss, we will definitely pay attention in the future.¡± Everyone said one after another.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou began to share the things they got this time with his subordinates.


    They searched for supplies this time and found a lot of good things, including a lot of milk powder found in a certain milk tea shop.


    Lu Yanzhou also specially took some clothes from the clothing store.


    Lu Yanzhou moved the big and small bags to his home.


    Chengcheng will definitely be happy when he sees these things when he comes.


    If brother-in-law is willing to see him and sees that he has so much food, he should also agree to let Chengcheng live with him.


    Lu Yanzhou thought very well, but Chengcheng was the only one who came at night. His brother-in-law didn¡¯t want to see him, and he still didn¡¯t want to eat what he gave.


    Regarding this situation, Lu Yanzhou was helpless. He even suspected that his brother-in-law was actually controlled by other forces in other security base.


    Not being able to live with Chengcheng makes Lu Yanzhou a little disappointed, but if Chengcheng and his brother-in-law are not in danger¡­then, it¡¯s fine.


    When he accumulates more merits and cures Chengcheng, he will be able to find out everything!


    After repeatedly reminding Chengcheng to be safe, Lu Yanzhou wrote another letter to his brother-in-law.


    Brother-in-law should be very kind to Chengcheng, so even if brother-in-law doesn¡¯t accept his kindness, he should still behave well.


    Only like this can brother-in-law feel at ease and hand over Chengcheng to him!


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou also praised Chengcheng in the letter, saying how cute Chengcheng is.


    As soon as he wrote this, he couldn¡¯t hold back¡­


    Chengcheng ate the meal that Lu Yanzhou had prepared for him, burped, then went to take a look at Lu Yanzhou writing the letter.


    He liked Lu Yanzhou¡¯s way of concentrating on doing things very much. Looking at him like this, he wanted to kiss Lu Yanzhou a little bit.


    Do whatever you want, Chengcheng rushed over to hug Lu Yanzhou, then kissed Lu Yanzhou: ¡°I like you so much!¡±


    ¡°I like you too.¡± Lu Yanzhou replied.


    Chengcheng smiled and narrowed his eyes: ¡°Turn your face around, kiss the other side too, kiss the forehead too!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou obediently let Chengcheng kiss him.


    Cough cough, such a good thing, he wished for it to happen a few more times!


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, although you are very dark, I still like you the most.¡± Xie Chengze said after kissing ¨C Lu Yanzhou is a bit dark today!


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Should he wear sunscreen tomorrow?


    Alas, little heartless, if he wasn¡¯t afraid of him being jealous, he wouldn¡¯t be so tanned.


    For the next half month, Lu Yanzhou has been very busy.


    He either went out to collect supplies, or he helped build houses for the homeless people in the security base, wishing that one day could be used as two days.


    He also turned over some of the vacant but unused land in the security base with his earth ability, allowing the people in the security base to grow vegetables and food.


    In order to increase food production, when Lu Yanzhou went out to look for supplies, he specially brought back a lot of chemical fertilizers.


    Of course, the organic fertilizer should not be wasted, so he brought people to build a biogas digester.


    Lu Yanzhou also ordered the ability users under him to run around.


    Fortunately, none of his subordinates had the bad temper of Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates, and they didn¡¯t have to take any risks to get contribution points¡­so, they worked with enthusiasm.


    The first half during the apocalypse was chaotic. Although the latter half of the year has been better, the security base is still a bit chaotic because the number of residents in the security base has been increasing and the number of zombies is also increasing.


    It was also a coincidence that when Lu Yanzhou came, the various rules and regulations in the security base were just on the right track.


    Now that Lu Yanzhou has been working around, the dirty and messy places in the security base have disappeared. The entire security base has become orderly.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou also proposed that he hoped that the young and middle-aged ordinary people in the security zone could organize together and become militiamen.


    During this time, Lu Yanzhou has been analyzing the situation of the zombies.


    Nowadays, there are indeed many zombies that have evolved, and the evolved zombies are still very powerful, but most of the zombies are still ordinary zombies.


    Let¡¯s talk about two months later, the zombie tide that caused the entire C City security base to fall, although it was caused by high-level zombies, 99% of the zombies that came along were ordinary zombies.


    Ordinary zombies can be resisted by ordinary people in the present, so only depending on ability users won¡¯t last long¡­A lot of ants can kill an elephant, no matter how powerful ability users are, they can¡¯t deal with so many zombies.


    According to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s plan, the security base must train troops, and the ordinary people¡¯s strength should also be strengthened!


    Of course, ability users should also improve their strength and ability.


    He has been researching the method to improve abilities recently, so he has already made some plans. When he gets the result, he can make it public.


    After all, Lu Yanzhou is not the head of the security base, he can only propose, as for whether it will be implemented in the end depends on district chief Li.


    Even if it¡¯s really going to be implemented, it will definitely take some time to form a militia.


    After a busy day, Lu Yanzhou dragged his exhausted body back to his residence.


    He has been very busy since transmigrating here, but he is still in good spirits. After all, every night, there will be a cutie who will come to him.


    The little cutie often kissed him¡­that brought him back to life immediately!


    What made Lu Yanzhou even happier was that after twenty days of feeding him, Xie Chengze had gotten a little fatter and looked more and more cute¡­well, handsome.

 CH 111

    In the past half a month, Lu Yanzhou has gone out to collect various things frequently, so his supplies at home are very rich.


    After returning to his residence, he put away the meals he bought from the cafeteria, went to the ice ability user, who lived downstairs, and asked for a large bucket of ice.


    This ice can be used to make cold drinks, and it can also be used to cool down.


    After soaking a cup of powdered milk and put it on the ice, Lu Yanzhou went to take a bath and waited for Xie Chengze¡¯s arrival.


    On the other hand¡­Xie Chengze has encountered a little trouble these days.


    Although the person Chengcheng likes has always provided him with various foods, Xie Chengze did not give up his job.


    Work can give him a sense of security. If that person finds that Chengcheng can¡¯t help with things, he can still give the other party some contribution points as compensation.


    However, ten days ago, the foreman in charge of managing these nurses began to arrange all kinds of tiring and dirty work for him. The work he has to do is even twice or thrice of others!


    If it was the previous him, he would definitely not be able to do so much work. At that time, he needed to buy painkillers because of expensive food and long-term headaches, besides, he ate flatbread every day to satisfy his hunger.


    It¡¯s just, during this period of time, he got enough to eat and drink every day, and even his headache gradually improved, so he could survive.


    And he learned from others that the foreman did this because someone gave their foreman money and wanted to work as a nurse.


    The foreman is going to eliminate one person so that the person who pays the money can be recruited as a worker. As for who to eliminate¡­of course it is Xie Chengze!


    Firstly, the foreman has always disliked Xie Chengze, secondly¡­Xie Chengze is powerless and doesn¡¯t like to get in touch with people, no one will stand up for Xie Chengze.


    So, the method the foreman thought of eliminating Xie Chengze was to give Xie Chengze a lot of work.


    Xie Chengze never ate with them, and they all knew that Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t even afford a house and lived in a car all the time. It was said that his family was also a burden.


    The foreman felt that Xie Chengze would definitely not be able to do so much work, he could justifiably fire him when he was exhausted.


    In the end, Xie Chengze still lasted for ten days. The foreman watched as Xie Chengze became a little stronger.


    Seeing this, the foreman became even more angry. He doesn¡¯t have that much power. It¡¯s okay to bully Xie Chengze alone, but bullying several people will cause problems. There is no replacement target, so more and more work is arranged for Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze does a lot of work, and other people have less work to do¡­Nowadays, everyone is short of food and clothing and can¡¯t afford to work. They wish they could do less work, so naturally no one will help Xie Chengze.


    When the day¡¯s work was over and Xie Chengze left the hospital, he almost couldn¡¯t stand up.


    He is really tired these days!


    If he didn¡¯t get a good rest every night and eat meat every day, he might have to resign.


    Back at his residence, Xie Chengze took out the food prepared for Chengcheng by the person Chengcheng liked and started to eat slowly.


    The food that the man asked Chengcheng to bring over this morning was three sour cowpea stir-fry meat with noodles, one fresh cucumber, and two eggs.


    This is for Chengcheng to eat during the day. If his thoughts were right, after Chengcheng awake at night, he could eat other things too.


    Xie Chengze ate the noodles, a cucumber and two eggs in the morning, then secretly ate another noodles at noon. Now he found the hot sauce that Chengcheng had brought back, and slowly ate the last sour cowpea stir-fry meat with noodles.


    The noodles dipped in hot sauce are hot and sour, very tasty and appetizing, but he is still very tired¡­


    Xie Chengze thought of Lu Yanzhou again.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know his existence at all, but he liked Lu Yanzhou, so he would wonder if Lu Yanzhou would help him if he knew he was being bullied¡­


    Lu Yanzhou often helps those who are bullied, doesn¡¯t he?


    In fact, Xie Chengze also thought about solving this matter by himself, but his foreman has a relative who is an ability-user.


    This kind of work arrangement for him, if he reported it to the higher-ups, it should be able to reduce the workload, but he will then offend the foreman. If the foreman is really unhappy and makes his relatives, who is an ability-user, to do something¡­


    If he was ¡®accidentally¡¯ injured by an ability-user, there is a high probability that he will have nowhere to complain to.


    He didn¡¯t want to lose the job, so he could only hold on.


    When he couldn¡¯t hold on anymore, he would think about Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou has done a lot of things recently, everyone is talking about Lu Yanzhou, he can hear a lot of news about Lu Yanzhou every day.


    He even exchanged an egg for a photo of Lu Yanzhou. He would looked at it from time to time.


    After eating, it was still early, so Xie Chengze simply tidied himself up and went outside.


    The people in the area where he lived were very grateful to Lu Yanzhou. Every night, everyone would chat about Lu Yanzhou while enjoying the cool weather outside.


    He is used to coming to listen for a while every day, and then go to bed early.


    Today, when Xie Chengze went outside, he heard these people talking about Lu Yanzhou again.


    ¡°I heard that Lu Yanzhou wants to form a militia.¡±


    ¡°Is it good to be a militiaman?¡±


    ¡°If they get enough to eat, many people will definitely be willing to go.¡±


    ¡­


    When Xie Chengze heard about this, he couldn¡¯t help being a little moved. Then, at this moment, he heard these people talk about something else: ¡°Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t go out of the city very much before, but recently he often goes out.¡±


    ¡°I heard that he killed a 4th level zombie yesterday!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that he¡¯s not as powerful as Zhou Jingshan, I couldn¡¯t see it. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability is obviously very powerful.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s the same 4th level as Zhou Jingshan! He just didn¡¯t show off before.¡±


    ¡­


    While chatting, someone became curious: ¡°Why is Lu Yanzhou showing off recently?¡±


    ¡°Why else? He must want to start a family.¡±


    ¡°Now that life in the security base is stable, does he want to marry Deputy District Chief Gu?¡±


    ¡°He and Deputy District Chief Gu are a couple?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Lu Yanzhou has been pursuing Deputy District Chief Gu, and recently he has been taking Deputy District Chief Gu to go out, haven¡¯t you seen it?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see it, but I heard about it.¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to listen to it anymore, so he went back to his residence silently.


    He was lying on the bed, a little uncomfortable.


    When he felt uncomfortable, he began to think about other things, such as who is the person Chengcheng likes?


    In fact, the person Chengcheng likes¡­Xie Chengze has a rough guess.


    First of all, if that person can produce so many supplies, his status in the security base must not be low.


    Secondly, that person was very very careful and took good care of Chengcheng. In the letter he wrote to him, he also showed his love for Chengcheng, and he treated Chengcheng like a child from his words¡­


    It¡¯s impossible for a young and strong man among ability users like Zhou Jingshan and Lu Yanzhou to be so cautious and thoughtful. Xie Chengze suspected that that person was a high-ranking military officer, or an older and powerful ability user.


    District Chief Li is amiable, isn¡¯t he?


    The main reason is¡­In fact, Chengcheng has always been thinking about his dead father, so it¡¯s normal for him to have a good impression of the elderly.


    Xie Chengze thought a lot, but he still couldn¡¯t divert his attention. Before going to bed, he was not only tired, but also extremely sour.


    Are Lu Yanzhou and Gu Tan on the verge of reaching a true fruition?


    So, after taking a bath and chilling the milk, Lu Yanzhou saw the unhappy Chengcheng.


    When Chengcheng saw Lu Yanzhou, tears welled up in his eyes: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, are you getting married?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback: ¡°Where did you hear that?¡±


    ¡°Anyway, some people said that you are going to marry Deputy District Chief Gu.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no such thing, I would not marry Gu Tan.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. He wanted to show his loyalty by saying that he only wanted to marry Xie Chengze, but he couldn¡¯t say it when he saw Chengcheng¡¯s clear innocent eyes ¡ª it¡¯s not easy to confess to a child!


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Gu Tan likes Zhou Jingshan, she won¡¯t marry me.¡±


    Chengcheng¡¯s thoughts were simple, upon hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, he immediately believed it and started smiling again.


    He ran to Lu Yanzhou and hugged Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I¡¯m so tired!¡±


    Chengcheng always said he was tired these days, but when Lu Yanzhou asked him why he was tired, he couldn¡¯t explain it, and it turned into something like his brother did a lot of work¡­


    Lu Yanzhou held him in his arms and asked him, ¡°What did Chengcheng do during the day?¡±


    Chengcheng has recently distinguished himself from AZe, so he feels that he has done nothing: ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°Then why are you tired?¡±


    ¡°Someone bullied my big brother.¡± Chengcheng said.


    ¡°How did that man bully your big brother?¡±


    ¡°He asked my big brother to do a lot of work!¡± Chengcheng looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, can you help big brother?¡±


    ¡°Can I help him?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°My big brother also wants you to help him.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou always wanted to know who Chengcheng¡¯s brother was: ¡°Where is your brother? Chengcheng, tell me, I¡¯ll help him.¡±


    However, after hearing Lu Yanzhou say this, Chengcheng refused to speak again¡­His big brother kept telling him not to say anything.


    While Chengcheng was extremely entangled, Lu Yanzhou frowned slightly.


    Although there are some things that Chengcheng doesn¡¯t say, but he has been with Chengcheng for a long time, he could infer the situation with just some words. Then, he found that his first thought that Chengcheng and his brother live in another security base isn¡¯t true.


    Chengcheng and his brother live in their security base.


    However, Chengcheng¡¯s big brother just refused to meet him¡­Lu Yanzhou suspected that Chengcheng¡¯s big brother must be controlled by Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly thought of Xie Chengze¡¯s abnormalities these days.


    Xie Chengze was very tired these days and said that his big brother wanted him to help¡­In the original owner¡¯s memory, Xie Chengze came to the original owner during this time, he also told the original owner that he wanted the original owner to help.


    However, the original owner didn¡¯t listen at all at that time, and he directly drove Xie Chengze away.


    So¡­Xie Chengze came to the original owner to ask for help?


    Even when Xie Chengze fell asleep on the original owner¡¯s bed, he was just too tired to hold on.


    Xie Chengze in the original owner¡¯s memory is in worse condition than when he first met Xie Chengze!


    What happened to Xie Chengze and his big brother?


    Lu Yanzhou had never planned to use special means before, but now he suddenly thought of it.


    In fact, as long as he gives Chengcheng a device that will tell his location and make him take it back, he will be able to find Chengcheng.


    But if Chengcheng and his big brother were controlled, would Chengcheng be targeted if he brought such things back home?


    It¡¯s better to forget it¡­His merits accumulated are almost enough. It shouldn¡¯t take long for Xie Chengze to return to normal. He¡¯ll just ask him when the time comes.

 CH 112

    Accumulating merit is quite fast in the apocalypse, especially in their security base, which has 300,000 people.


    C City was a fairly large city before the apocalyse, with a permanent population of more than one million, and many people living around it. Although many people died at the beginning of the apocalypse, many survived.


    Lu Yanzhou had come to this world for more than 20 days now, not only had he built ten thousand houses, but he also reclaimed a lot of land in the security base and arranged jobs for many people.


    Even most of the supplies he brought back were distributed.


    What¡¯s more¡­Killing zombies also has merits. He has many subordinates, so when he leads his subordinates to kill zombies, he will also get a lot of merit.


    He has almost accumulated enough merits to treat Xie Chengze!


    Chengcheng drank the iced milk that Lu Yanzhou had prepared in advance, and ate the french fries and fried chicken wings that Lu Yanzhou had prepared for him.


    Chengcheng suddenly thought of something: ¡°I want to drink coke.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°I¡¯ll look for it for you next time.¡± He actually found coke before, but he didn¡¯t take it since the others asked for it¡­If Chengcheng wanted it, he would get it no matter what.


    As for the fact that coke is not healthy¡­Many people are suffering from malnutrition due to lack of supplies. Sugar and oil have become supplements, so everyone can¡¯t eat what they want.


    After Chengcheng finished eating, he soon became drowsy, so Lu Yanzhou carried him to the bed and let him sleep.


    As for himself, he also lay beside Chengcheng and soon fell asleep.


    The next day, after Lu Yanzhou sent Chengcheng away, he left the city with his subordinates.


    Today, he brought all his free subordinates with him, there were hundreds of them.


    The fact that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates were not willing to leave the city before was actually related to the original owner. The original owner was timid and afraid of death and didn¡¯t want to go out, so of course his subordinates didn¡¯t go out either.


    Facing zombies is not a good experience!


    However, in the past half month, Lu Yanzhou ran out all day, so his subordinates were also willing to follow him out of the city.


    With Lu Yanzhou, an earth ability user, they don¡¯t have to worry about being bitten by zombies. They are very safe, so killing zombies is not so terrifying in this situation.


    For example, at this moment, Lu Yanzhou asked hundreds of his subordinates to stand on top of several three-story villas, and then surrounded the villas with earthen walls¡­


    Those zombies can not climb the earthen wall, so they can only gather outside to withstand the attack of the ability users. Occasionally, there would be many mutant zombies that can climb over the earthen wall, however, Lu Yanzhou and the other with stronger ability will also quickly kill those zombies.


    ¡°When you use your ability, you have to perceive it with your heart.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of your ability running out, go to the back when you run out, follow what I said, find a way to restore your energy!¡±


    ¡°In the future, the mutated zombies will become stronger and stronger. Only by becoming stronger can we protect ourselves, our family, the security base, and human beings!¡±


    ¡°We are the strongest!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou has been lifting his subordinates¡¯ emotions.


    In battle, emotions are very important. When these people have someone they want to protect, they will have the motivation to become stronger, and they will naturally become stronger and stronger.


    From time to time, he would call someone¡¯s name and praise that person, which would also boost their self-confidence and make them work harder.


    The zombies died one by one. Seeing this scene, Lu Yanzhou was in a good mood.


    Kill more zombies now, and when the tide of zombies strikes in the future, the number of zombies will be less.


    Of course, after killing the zombies for a while, Lu Yanzhou led his men to collect supplies. Just killing zombies is not easy for people to insist on, but if he finds some supplies for them to take back after killing zombies¡­everyone will think about it tomorrow.


    When looking for supplies, someone said: ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Miss Gu didn¡¯t come today. If she also came, we could bring more supplies back.¡±


    Gu Tan was supposed to come today, but in the early morning, something happened to her father.


    She wanted to take her father to the hospital, so she didn¡¯t come.


    ¡°We have so many people, we can bring back a lot of supplies,¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, someone asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Boss, do you really not like Miss Gu?¡±


    During this period of time, they always come out and Gu Tan will also follow¡­They actually like Miss Gu, but they really don¡¯t know why their boss suddenly doesn¡¯t pursue Miss Gu anymore.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like her anymore. As I said, I have someone else I like.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Who in the world is them! Boss, why didn¡¯t you bring them out for us to see?¡± These people were very curious.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Hurry up, you will see him soon, he is even stronger than Gu Tan!¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s abilities are stronger than Gu Tan¡¯s.


    This is not surprising, even if Xie Chengze only has one piece of soul fragment in this world, the strength of his soul fragment is far beyond ordinary people.


    Whether one ability is strong or weak has a lot to do with one soul¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Boss, you are bragging.¡± Everyone didn¡¯t believe it.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°You will know when the time comes, go to work! By the way, don¡¯t talk about it.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou told his subordinates that he had someone he liked, but told them not to talk about it.


    Xie Chengze was in their security zone, and Xie Chengze¡¯s brother knew of his existence, but he didn¡¯t come to him¡­He must be under control!


    Afraid that the people who controlled Xie Chengze and Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother would find out, Lu Yanzhou was very cautious.


    ¡°We know!¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates agreed one after another.


    Lu Yanzhou then said: ¡°I¡¯ll go find it with you, I want to drink coke.¡±


    Tonight, he will put the coke on ice to make it cold in advance to surprise Xie Chengze.


    While Lu Yanzhou was looking for Coke, Xie Chengze was assigned a new job.


    A difficult patient came to their hospital, and the foreman asked Xie Chengze to take care of them.


    From now on, Xie Chengze will only need to take care of this one patient.


    Xie Chengze was stunned when he heard this.


    Although these people are called nurses, they are different from the nurses before the apocalypse.


    Nurses before the apocalypse need to take care of the patients¡¯ food, drink, life, and they need to give patients injections and so on. The tasks they need to do are similar to those nurses, or even larger.


    After the apocalypse, the medical staff suffered heavy losses, and the security base could only allow some ordinary people to work after receiving simple training. This is the origin of these ¡®nursing workers¡¯.


    Because of this, they often have to take care of many patients alone.


    All the patients assigned to Xie Chengze a few days ago were in poor health, and they also found some heavy work for Xie Chengze, which made Xie Chengze very tired, but now¡­


    He only needs to take care of one patient?


    Who is that patient?


    Although worried, Xie Chengze had no choice but to go.


    When he arrived at the place and saw the patient¡¯s information, Xie Chengze realized why no one was willing to take care of this patient.


    This patient is Gu Tan¡¯s father, who suffers from schizophrenia and attacks others.


    It¡¯s very tiring to take care of the mentally ill, and it¡¯s even more tiring if the mentally ill patients attack people.


    The most frightening thing is that this mental patient also has an ability user daughter.


    This is definitely more difficult to serve.


    Gu Tan¡­he turned out to be Gu Tan¡¯s father¡­Xie Chengze was in a complicated mood, so he asked someone about it. After asking, he felt relieved.


    This is not the first time that Gu Tan¡¯s father has come to the hospital. He is indeed difficult to serve and will beat people, but he is still manageable.


    Besides, Gu Tan is a nice person. Previously when a medical staff member was injured, Gu Tan paid a lot of compensation to them.


    It¡¯s just that the situation is different this time. This time, Gu Tan wanted to find someone to take care of her father for a long time¡­So after Xie Chengze took over the job, if he did a good job, he would be responsible for taking care of father Gu from now on.


    Xie Chengze understood why the foreman did this. If he couldn¡¯t take care of father Gu and was injured by father Gu, the foreman could naturally resign him and recruit someone again. If he did a good job, he will continue to do this from now on, so the foreman can also naturally accept others.


    As for him, he has no right to choose independently.


    When Xie Chengze arrived, he saw a skinny middle-aged man.


    Gu Tan¡¯s father¡¯s illness is a little severe. He always felt that others were going to harm him, so it was really troublesome to take care of him. He was hospitalized this time because he vomited blood¡­Xie Chengze helped the doctor sedate him, then sent him for an examination. He was busy all morning.


    He was punched and kicked by father Gu, so he got some bruises on his body.


    Fortunately, father Gu¡¯s illness was found. He swallowed a foreign object and needed surgery.


    Xie Chengze was not allowed to enter the operating room, so Xie Chengze was waiting outside to take a rest.


    Seeing this, Gu Tan, who followed during the whole process, said to Xie Chengze, ¡°My dad hurt you before, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Then, Gu Tan took out a few packs of biscuits and gave it to Xie Chengze as compensation.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­¡± Xie Chengze refused ¡ª although he was beaten a few times, it was nothing¡­


    ¡°You take it, I need your help in the future.¡± Gu Tan stuffed the biscuit into Xie Chengze¡¯s arms.


    Xie Chengze silently accepted the biscuit.


    Gu Tan continued: ¡°how about you come to take care of my father, I will give you 3,000 credits a month. You can also get food and accommodation¡­Don¡¯t worry, my father usually doesn¡¯t beat people, because he is in great pain this time¡­¡­I¡¯m very sorry.¡±


    Compared with some ability users, Gu Tan¡¯s attitude is already very good.


    This job not only pays well, but also includes food and accommodation, which is a good job.


    But this is the person Lu Yanzhou likes¡­


    Xie Chengze was in a complicated mood, but he still nodded.


    So what if he likes Lu Yanzhou? Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t even know him.


    Gu Tan is one of the deputy district chiefs of the security base. If he helps Gu Tan from this work, he can get to know the senior management of the safety base. It would be great if he could get to know who Chengcheng likes.


    Xie Chengze wanted to know if that person really didn¡¯t intend to use Chengcheng. If he was a good person, he should explain it clearly to the other party.


    Gu Tan quickly negotiated with Xie Chengze about taking care of his father.


    She is very satisfied with Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze wore a mask and glasses and his hair was a bit long, so she didn¡¯t know Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance, but she could tell that Xie Chengze liked to be clean. Xie Chengze¡¯s previous performance also showed that he had good professional ability.


    The two were talking when Zhou Jingshan suddenly came.


    Seeing Zhou Jingshan, Gu Tan¡¯s face changed slightly, but she still followed Zhou Jingshan and left.


    Few people know that Gu Tan and Zhou Jingshan were actually a couple before the apocalypse.


    Zhou Jingshan is not from C City. He was in C City when the apocalypse happened, so he didn¡¯t leave yet because of Gu Tan.


    At the beginning, the two were very in love, so Gu Tan went to meet Zhou Jingshan¡¯s parents, but Gu Tan¡¯s parents had already divorced. Zhou Jingshan¡¯s parents, who usually don¡¯t care much, were very dissatisfied with Gu Tan.


    Gu Tan has a father with mental illness! They would not allow their son to marry such a woman.


    The two said a lot of nasty things to Gu Tan, so Gu Tan broke up with Zhou Jingshan.


    Gu Tan broke up with him cleanly, but Zhou Jingshan still chased after her¡­It¡¯s just that although Zhou Jingshan likes Gu Tan, he is also very dissatisfied with those in Gu Tan¡¯s family. He always wants Gu Tan to abandon her family, which Gu Tan is not willing to do, so she was also unwilling to get back together with him.


    There is also a big gap in their views. For example, Gu Tan is committed to developing the security base, but Zhou Jingshan doesn¡¯t take the C City¡¯s security base very seriously.


    The relationship between the two can be regarded as unceasing chaos.

 CH 113

    Zhou Jingshan has a bad temper, Gu Tan was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she followed him to the corridor outside the emergency room of the hospital, and asked with a frown, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°Your father is ill, so I come to visit.¡± Zhou Jingshan said.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to come,¡± Gu Tan said.


    Zhou Jingshan sneered and took out a card to Gu Tan: ¡°If I don¡¯t come, won¡¯t you be in a rush? Do you still have money?¡±


    The safe zone has its own magnetic card, which contains the contribution points of the security base, and of course some people call it money.


    Gu Tan is the deputy district chief of the security base and she is also a space ability user, so she would not be short of money, but she values the rules and will not use crooked ways to get money for herself, besides, there are a bunch of burden¡­


    As a local, Gu Tan was born in a village near C City. Her father was ill when she was young, and her mother was also in poor health. Since then, her family¡¯s life has been very difficult.


    Luckily someone helped them.


    Her father¡¯s brothers and cousins gave money for her studies, and they also helped her grandparents¡¯ funerals. She went to school outside, and her parents relied on these relatives and friends to help her take care of them.


    Before the apocalypse, everyone was living a good life. Gu Tan just bought gifts to visit during the holidays, but now the apocalypse is here!


    Because she went to rescue people in time after the apocalypse, and with the help of Zhou Jingshan, most of her relatives survived.


    Among these people, there are young and middle-aged people who can work, but there are also many elderly and children. If Gu Tan doesn¡¯t help¡­they may not be able to fill their stomachs, and even the elderly among them should be dead by now.


    Can¡¯t Gu Tan stop helping? She cannot.


    She gave them shelter, provided food and medicine, which already cost a lot, which is why whenever Lu Yanzhou asked her to help, she never refused ¡ª she can use the space blade to kill zombies, but her own combat strength is not strong, so there is no way for her to go alone to find supplies.


    ¡°I have money.¡± Said Gu Tan.


    Gu Tan was almost out of money previously. Her mother was ill and needed a lot of rare medicines, so she spent all her savings.


    Thanks to Lu Yanzhou who always went out to find things during this time, she also got to save some money and supplies.


    Zhou Jingshan¡¯s face changed when he heard the words: ¡°Where did you get the money? Lu Yanzhou gave it to you? Lu Yanzhou is very willing to give you!¡±


    Gu Tan frowned.


    Gu Tan doesn¡¯t like Lu Yanzhou, she has too much burden on her shoulders. Zhou Jingshan is also pestering her, so she has no thought of falling in love again.


    AD


    But she has a good impression of Lu Yanzhou. Recently, Lu Yanzhou stopped chasing her and concentrated on doing practical things. She has a better impression of Lu Yanzhou.


    Seeing that Gu Tan didn¡¯t speak, Zhou Jingshan continued: ¡°So you plan to accept Lu Yanzhou? No wonder he seems to be a different person recently. He is obviously very afraid of death, but he runs out every day now!¡±


    ¡°Who I am with has nothing to do with you.¡±


    ¡°How does it have nothing to do with me? You are my girlfriend.¡±


    ¡°We broke up long ago!¡±


    ¡°Gu Tan, what¡¯s so good about that Lu Yanzhou? He¡¯s just a hypocrite, he has no skills at all! He¡¯s with you because he want to climb up! I¡¯ve seen a lot of people like him!¡±


    ¡°Zhou Jingshan, no matter how he is, he is better than you.¡± Gu Tan said angrily. In fact, Gu Tan knew that Zhou Jingshan was not a bad person, but their views really differed too much.


    As for Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou is obviously a good person!


    Zhou Jingshan¡¯s face was ugly: ¡°So you want to marry him?¡±


    ¡°So what?¡± Gu Tan said.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to kill him!¡±


    ¡°Zhou Jingshan! Don¡¯t mess around, or I¡¯ll fight you to the end!¡±


    The two often quarreled, but this time they quarreled and finally went their way unhappy.


    Zhou Jingshan ran straight away, Gu Tan followed closely and left the corridor, and then saw the nurse she had just hired standing not far away.


    Seeing the other party, Gu Tan was a little embarrassed: ¡°Sorry, I made you laugh¡­Please don¡¯t talk about it.¡±


    Gu Tan thought of the childish conversation between her and Zhou Jingshan, she felt embarrassed


    Not mentioning anything else, just let¡¯s just talk about Lu Yanzhou. He has nothing to do with her¡­he really has nothing to do with her. Lu Yanzhou has been avoiding her recently, he has clearly given up on her.


    But she was not in the mood to explain too much, so she simply asked the person not to talk about it.


    Xie Chengze nodded.


    At this moment, Xie Chengze felt as if his heart was overwhelmed.


    Although he had heard that Lu Yanzhou and Gu Tan might get married before, it was just a rumor after all, so he could tell himself that it was a lie.


    But it¡¯s different this time. Now Gu Tan has admitted it with her own mouth.


    Gu Tan and Lu Yanzhou are about to get married.


    Xie Chengze has always been a very sober person. He knows that he has no chance with Lu Yanzhou, and he also knows that no matter who Lu Yanzhou is with, it has nothing to do with him.


    But at this moment, he didn¡¯t know what was going on, but he actually had the feeling that Lu Yanzhou had betrayed him.


    How could Lu Yanzhou marry someone else!


    Lu Yanzhou is his!


    Xie Chengze suspected that he was crazy ¨C how could he have such an idea?


    Why can¡¯t Lu Yanzhou marry someone else? How is Lu Yanzhou his? Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t even know him, did he?


    It was very uncomfortable, but Xie Chengze still did his job well, and helped take care of father Gu after father Gu came out of the operating room.


    When Xie Chengze was discussing the work content with Gu Tan, he specifically mentioned that he could only work from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm then he would leave at night.


    Chengcheng will come out at night, so he can¡¯t work.


    It¡¯s really unrealistic for Xie Chengze to be with her father 24 hours a day, so Gu Tan agreed.


    Xie Chengze stayed in the hospital until six o¡¯clock before going home.


    He didn¡¯t do much work today, so he wasn¡¯t tired, but his overall condition was very bad. When he got home and lay down, he didn¡¯t even want to get up or eat.


    His mind was full of¡­Lu Yanzhou betrayed him, Lu Yanzhou was getting married.


    He is really crazy!


    Well, he is actually mentally ill, the kind who would regularly go to a mental hospital for check-ups before the apocalypse!


    He is also a pervert, fantasizing about Lu Yanzhou all day long!


    Xie Chengze held his head and thought for a long time, like a little broken jar. He wanted to get revenge on Lu Yanzhou, and even wanted to kiss Lu Yanzhou forcefully.


    No, this is not enough, he also wants to develop something with Lu Yanzhou.


    But this is impossible, Lu Yanzhou is going to marry someone else, and he will live with Gu Tan in the future. They will be husband and wife, and he becomes a despicable stalker.


    Xie Chengze used to think that he could take care of father Gu for the contribution point and to have a job, but now he feels that he can¡¯t do it.


    He absolutely couldn¡¯t stand looking at Lu Yanzhou and Gu Tan being together.


    He should resign¡­


    Thinking about it¡­Before Xie Chengze fell asleep as usual, his expression suddenly changed.


    Chengcheng appeared much earlier than before.


    Chengcheng¡¯s expression was very bewildered, and his whole body was trembling with anger.


    Lu Yanzhou wants to marry someone else?


    He knew the meaning of marriage. After marriage, two people would sleep in the same bed.


    He also knows that when you get married, you are a family. If you are a family, you will not welcome others.


    After his mother married his stepfather, they didn¡¯t like him and didn¡¯t welcome him!


    There will be children after marriage, and when they have children¡­


    The most important thing is that he cannot accept Lu Yanzhou marrying someone else.


    He didn¡¯t like this, he wanted to go to Lu Yanzhou every day and sleep in the same bed with Lu Yanzhou.


    Also, Lu Yanzhou lied to him, Lu Yanzhou clearly told him that he would not marry Gu Tan, but what happened?


    Chengcheng trembled, then the next second, he appeared in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s living room.


    Lu Yanzhou was taking a shower. In the living room, there was a bucket full of ice with some coke in it.


    He wanted to drink coke yesterday, so Lu Yanzhou found it for him.


    Lu Yanzhou was very very good to him, but¡­but¡­now Lu Yanzhou is going to marry someone else.


    What is he going to do?


    No, he can¡¯t let Lu Yanzhou marry someone else!


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t have Chengcheng¡¯s memory, but Chengcheng is different, he can see Xie Chengze¡¯s memory.


    It¡¯s just that in the past, he didn¡¯t look at those things very much, and what he paid attention to repeatedly were all things from his childhood.


    But at this moment, he began to recall other things.


    So¡­he can actually kiss Lu Yanzhou forcefully, and even do various things to Lu Yanzhou?


    That¡¯s something couples would do. If he did it to Lu Yanzhou, would Lu Yanzhou marry him?


    AZe said that this is a bad thing, and Chengcheng is a bad boy if he does this kind of thing.


    But¡­but¡­


    Chengcheng is a good boy, but his father is still missing.


    No, he¡¯s not missing, he knows that his father is gone, and his mother doesn¡¯t want him either.


    If Chengcheng was always a good boy, would Lu Yanzhou not want him anymore either?


    If so, Chengcheng might as well be a bad boy.


    In the first place¡­It was Lu Yanzhou who said first that he would not get married, but it was Lu Yanzhou who lied to him, so he should just pretend not to know that Lu Yanzhou was going to get married¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was taking a shower when Xie Chengze suddenly appeared in the bathroom.


    This is not the first time, so Lu Yanzhou was very calm. He silently turned his back to Xie Chengze, and asked, ¡°Chengcheng, why did you come so early today?¡±


    Chengcheng didn¡¯t answer, but instead asked: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, did you lie to me?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, how could he lie to such a lovely Chengcheng!


    Chengcheng was very happy: ¡°Mm!¡±


    ¡°Chengcheng, why did you ask this suddenly? By the way, Chengcheng, did you see the coke outside? You should go outside and drink the coke first.¡± Lu Yanzhou wanted to coax Chengcheng out.


    However, Chengcheng is not interested in coke now. He stares at Lu Yanzhou, only feeling that he is very hot all over.


    He always wanted to kiss Lu Yanzhou before, but kissing is not enough.


    Now he knows what he wants.


    Chengcheng suddenly teleported to appear in front of Lu Yanzhou whose back was turned to him and hugged Lu Yanzhou and kissed him, not the face kiss like before, but a kiss on the mouth.


    Lu Yanzhou was stunned by the sudden attack, and wanted to push Xie Chengze away.


    Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t recovered from his illness yet, so now he¡¯s just like a child. He always feels that something is not right like this.


    With great strength, Lu Yanzhou quickly pushed the person away, stood aside and was about to say something, when Xie Chengze teleported into his arms again.


    Abilities can also be used like this? He can¡¯t hide from Xie Chengze at all!


    Lu Yanzhou hid a few times but couldn¡¯t dodge, so he could only let Xie Chengze hug him, and then use his willpower to restrain: ¡°Chengcheng, what¡¯s wrong with you today? Let¡¯s have a good talk¡­¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, do you not like me anymore?¡± Chengcheng asked pitifully.


    ¡°How is that possible, I like you the most!¡±


    ¡°Then you hug me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t move, he is not a saint, if this continues¡­


    ¡°You definitely don¡¯t like me anymore. If you¡¯re going to marry someone else, then you will not want me. I will definitely die. I will die of starvation and exhaustion¡­¡± Chengcheng began to cry.


    Before meeting Lu Yanzhou, AZe often thought like this.


    Every time he woke up in the car, he also thought that he might die.


    At that time, he still thought that it would be good to die, and he would not have to be hungry, feel uncomfortable, and have a headache.


    But he doesn¡¯t want to die now, he wants to be with Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°I won¡¯t marry anyone else, I won¡¯t abandon you, and you won¡¯t starve to death.¡± Lu Yanzhou quickly coaxed.


    Xie Chengze became more aggressive. Seeing that Lu Yanzhou was not moving, he moved.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± What else can Lu Yanzhou do?

 CH 114

    When Lu Yanzhou woke up in the morning, there was no one around him.


    He couldn¡¯t react for a moment.


    Xie Chengze usually leaves at six o¡¯clock in the morning, but in order to see Xie Chengze off, his current biological clock wakes up at five o¡¯clock in the morning.


    After waking up, he would prepare Xie Chengze¡¯s food for the day, and then let Xie Chengze leave with the food.


    Xie Chengze would also sweetly say something like ¡®I don¡¯t want to leave¡¯, and then pester him to kiss him. In short, except for being left behind on the first morning, they were very sweet every morning after that.


    But now¡­Xie Chengze just left?


    He treated him like that last night, and now he just got up and left early in the morning?


    Xie Chengze, what is this? This is clearly a scumbag who ate and ran!


    Lu Yanzhou sat on the bed, a little aggrieved.


    Chengcheng, this little heartless one just eats and leaves without any nostalgia! When Lu Yanzhou came to the living room and found that the coke he had prepared last night was gone, he was even more depressed.


    Remember to bring Coke, but why not bring him?


    What is this call, leaving him behind!


    Wait, Chengcheng doesn¡¯t seem to have taken any other food¡­so what will he eat during the day?


    Xie Chengze probably hasn¡¯t finished eating the compressed biscuits he gave Chengcheng before, right?


    Although the little scumbag picked up his pants and ran away, Lu Yanzhou was still unavoidably worried about him.


    After worrying¡­Lu Yanzhou planned to go out to kill zombies.


    He wanted to accumulate enough merit quickly.


    Lu Yanzhou took a large group of people out of the city again, and when he was out of the city, he met Zhou Jingshan.


    Zhou Jingshan sneered at him in a strange way, and said, ¡°You are really free, you still have time to go out and look for supplies.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t understand, so he answered: ¡°I don¡¯t have anything else to do recently.¡±


    Zhou Jingshan became even angrier when he thought that Gu Tan was very busy these days, and threw a fireball directly at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou blocked the fireball with an earthen wall, and seeing that Zhou Jingshan had already left, he was speechless.


    He didn¡¯t offend Zhou Jingshan recently, did he?


    But Zhou Jingshan himself seems to have 8th grade syndrome, so anything is normal.


    In the original trajectory, the original owner killed Zhou Jingshan, which was really a bad move.


    Although Zhou Jingshan has problems, he is not the kind of lawless person. Because Zhou Jingshan really likes Gu Tan, he is actually restrained by Gu Tan.


    In contrast, some of Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates were more problematic.


    Lu Yanzhou went out of the city, intending to find some delicious food for Chengcheng.


    They are going to the countryside this time, where they can collect fresh vegetables and so on.


    I wonder why Chengcheng left last night¡­


    Chengcheng left last night. On the one hand, he was shy, and on the other hand, he felt that he had done something bad and was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would scold him.


    After all, Lu Yanzhou has always been unwilling to¡­


    He didn¡¯t sleep last night, he teleported directly from the bed to the living room, took the coke that Lu Yanzhou had prepared for him, then left.


    Lu Yanzhou saved a lot of food. He wanted to take some, but he was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would be unhappy, so he didn¡¯t take it.


    When he returned to his residence, Chengcheng was already tired and fell asleep soon¡­In the morning, Xie Chengze woke up on time.


    As soon as Xie Chengze woke up, he felt something was wrong ¨C he was feeling uncomfortable.


    Not only that¡­he was obviously very sad last night, but now¡­he feels very satisfied, even very happy.


    He was just heart broken, why is he so happy?


    Xie Chengze knew that he was affected by Chengcheng¡¯s emotions. In the past, the emotions that Chengcheng conveyed to him were like loneliness, but recently, Chengcheng was always very happy.


    Chengcheng was very happy last night.


    As for the reason¡­Xie Chengze got up and checked his body.


    Chengcheng did it with the person he likes!


    At the beginning, Xie Chengze had doubts about that person and felt that that person had bad intentions, but even if he didn¡¯t reply to the letter or refuse to communicate, that person would still write to him, and his attitude was very good.


    He gradually had a good impression of that person.


    He even imagined the image of that person, thinking that the other person must be a wise, gentle, and kind elder.


    More than twenty days have passed, and he even thought about explaining the situation to that person!


    But what happened? That man actually did such a thing to Chengcheng!


    What a beast!


    But he couldn¡¯t blame him either, Chengcheng wasn¡¯t sad at all, he was very happy!


    Xie Chengze felt extremely confused and didn¡¯t know what to do.


    He felt strangely angry at being taken advantage of, but¡­but¡­


    Xie Chengze knocked himself on the head hard.


    He is crazy.


    However, this doesn¡¯t seem like a bad thing? Xie Chengze suddenly discovered that he was no longer concerned about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s marriage.


    The sadness and despair of last night had all left him.


    But that¡¯s really not right.


    The person Chengcheng likes is probably not young, just because he did this kind of thing to Chengcheng¡­There must be no shortage of people around him.


    So what did Chengcheng do? Became a mistress or even a third, a fourth, a fifth, or a tenth.


    Although he was struggling, there was still work to be done. Xie Chengze started to pack his things, and at the same time he was a little thankful that the man was very careful. He¡­Well, Chengcheng was not injured.


    It may not be that the person is very careful, it may be that he is too old and couldn¡¯t do it well.


    Xie Chengze pulled back his wandering thoughts and discovered another thing.


    Chengcheng didn¡¯t bring any food back.


    Now that he has it, he doesn¡¯t cherish him anymore?


    Xie Chengze was reluctant to eat compressed biscuits that could be stored for a long time, so he hurried out and bought the cheapest multigrain biscuit for ten contribution points.


    Rent is expensive in the security base, and food is even more expensive.


    Speaking of which, the food provided to him by the person Chengcheng liked before should be the most expensive kind.


    A rice ball or a cowpea flatbread can already make someone sleep with that person, which is not a loss for him.


    However, he still suffers.


    He thought he was a good person, why did the other party do such a thing?


    On the way to the hospital, Xie Chengze also heard news from Lu Yanzhou. It is said that Lu Yanzhou brought many people out of the city today.


    Xie Chengze felt very uncomfortable yesterday, but he was calm today, he even thought¡­he wondered what Lu Yanzhou would bring back.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Something is really wrong with him.


    The more he realized that something was wrong with him, the more Xie Chengze dared not lose his job.


    His previous job as a nurse is definitely not going to work. His foreman is determined to squeeze him out, now he can only take good care of Gu Tan¡¯s father.


    Xie Chengze went there after seven o¡¯clock. When he got there, there was a young man in Gu Tan¡¯s father¡¯s ward, who was still chatting with father Gu.


    Father Gu only repeated one sentence, saying that someone on the balcony was scolding him.


    ¡°Uncle, there is no balcony in this ward.¡±


    Father Gu said: ¡°That person stood outside the window and scolded me!¡±


    ¡°Uncle, this is the tenth floor.¡± The young man was very calm.


    Seeing Xie Chengze coming, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xie Chengze, ¡°Hello, my name is Gu Mingyang, and I am Gu Tan¡¯s cousin¡­I will take care of my uncle with you from now on.¡±


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Isn¡¯t it just me who takes care of him?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay now, I will handle my uncle¡¯s mess that you can¡¯t handle. Actually, I was responsible for cooking¡­I used to take care of my uncle with my dad, but my uncle said that my dad was going to poison him, so he pushed my dad down the stairs, and my dad broke his leg¡­¡± Gu Mingyang realized something was wrong while talking, and said to Xie Chengze: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if something happens, my cousin will fully compensate you. Uncle usually doesn¡¯t dare to do anything to people. This is just the most serious case. He usually hides alone in the house.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Father Gu is now sick and tied up. What Xie Chengze needs to do is to simply carry his excrement and urine, the work is actually very easy.


    This made him feel very fortunate, he was even more fortunate that Gu Mingyang was a bit talkative and told him a lot about the Gu family.


    Gu Tan rented a townhouse, and all the Gu¡¯s relatives lived in it. There were forty or fifty people taking care of the family.


    Among them, the young and strong ones have found jobs and can earn money. Besides, Gu Tan always sends them food, so they live well.


    In fact, Gu Tan did not help them without a bottom line, but the food in the security base is too expensive. Gu Tan can¡¯t eat delicious and spicy food by herself, but giving them the cheapest food still costs a lot of money.


    In addition, Gu Tan¡¯s mother is in poor health and suffers from a rare disease. Before the apocalypse, the disease was rare, and the medicine was only available in big hospitals. Now it¡¯s even more serious now, but there is no medicine at all!


    The pressure on Gu Tan was even greater.


    Xie Chengze knew why Zhou Jingshan felt that Gu Tan had no money before.


    But now Gu Tan is not short of money¡­Is it because of Lu Yanzhou?


    Lu Yanzhou went out of the city again today to help Gu Tan?


    Xie Chengze was in a bad mood, but he was very professional when taking care of the patients, and even coaxed father Gu to make father Gu less tense.


    Gu Mingyang was surprised when he saw this: ¡°You are amazing! Were you a nurse before the apocalypse? Or are you a doctor?¡±


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°I¡¯m still in school, the Medical Department.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s your major?¡± Gu Mingyang asked again.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Psychiatry.¡±


    Gu Mingyang: ¡°No wonder my cousin looked for you! Let the professional do it!¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I just finished my freshman year, so I¡¯m not very professional¡­¡±


    He doesn¡¯t hurt people and no one can see what¡¯s wrong with him during the day, but he may not be able to study in the future.


    He went to learn this, mainly for his own illness.


    Speaking of which, in order to get a job as a nurse, he only said that he was a medical student, he didn¡¯t dare to say his department. Fortunately, they all came to work after training and he was surrounded by certain people who also knew nothing about medicine before training.


    ¡°You are better than me! I will count on you in the future!¡± Gu Mingyang liked Xie Chengze very much.


    Gu Tan came over at noon and was very happy to learn about Xie Chengze¡¯s previous major from Gu Mingyang.


    In fact, her father was not that seriously ill before the apocalypse, so he didn¡¯t go to the hospital and stayed at home.


    But now¡­Now there is no professional hospital for her father to stay in.


    Gu Tan prepared lunch for Xie Chengze, which was a set meal worth 50 credits at the base, which contained a few potatoes, some pickles and some fresh vegetables.


    This is already a good meal, but it can¡¯t compare with what that man prepared for him.


    Xie Chengze asked Gu Tan: ¡°Miss Gu, I saw a patient eating white flatbread made with sour cowpea minced pork. Where can I buy that kind of flatbread?¡±


    After listening, Gu Tan said: ¡°That kind of flatbread is only sold in the first canteen, and one costs two hundred contribution points.¡±


    The first canteen is a special canteen, and most people are not allowed to enter. The things in it are also very expensive.


    There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the security base. The first canteen was specially built by the district chief to harvest money from those ability users in the security base.


    As far as she knew, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s consumption in the first canteen was sky-high. He would not only buy all kinds of food provided by the first canteen, but also order dishes for the chef to cook.


    Xie Chengze was stunned upon hearing this.


    He worked for a month before, and only earned 1,000 contribution points. That person gave him three flatbread a day, eggs, vegetables, and other things¡­


    Did he eat a thousand contribution points a day?!


    Xie Chengze felt that he couldn¡¯t blame that person.


    However, he was really aggrieved.


    Because of this, Xie Chengze kept admonishing Chengcheng that night not to go to that person.


    He also repeatedly emphasized one thing, that is, forcing others to do something is a very bad behavior, and it¡¯s something bad people do!


    They must draw a clear line with that kind of people!


    The Lu Yanzhou he likes likes someone else, and is about to marry someone else, and something like this happened to Chengcheng too¡­Xie Chengze, who was no longer affected by Chengcheng¡¯s emotions at night, felt very sad.


    He even felt that he was not worthy of liking Lu Yanzhou.


    What did he do for some food!


    After Xie Chengze fell asleep, Chengcheng came out.


    Chengcheng ran away in embarrassment yesterday, but today¡­he still wanted to find Lu Yanzhou.


    But¡­but¡­a person who forces others is a bad person?


    Did Lu Yanzhou also want to draw a clear line with him?!

 CH 115

    Chengcheng suddenly didn¡¯t dare to look for Lu Yanzhou.


    He did bad things, he was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would have an opinion about him.


    Not only would he have opinions about him, Lu Yanzhou might scold him and drive him away.


    He was only thinking about marrying Lu Yanzhou yesterday, why didn¡¯t he think that Lu Yanzhou might not like a bad guy like him?


    And¡­AZe also told him not to go¡­


    Depressed, Chengcheng got up from the bed and opened a can of braised pork.


    Lu Yanzhou once told him that the canned food was delicious, but he was full from eating at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s every day and was not hungry, so he didn¡¯t open it to eat.


    As for AZe¡­AZe cherishes these foods that can be preserved for a long time, so he didn¡¯t open it to eat.


    The can was filled with fat and thin braised pork, which looked very attractive. After Chengcheng ate a piece, his eyes immediately narrowed.


    Oily and delicious!


    He ate half of it in one go, then felt a little tired after eating.


    Although AZe didn¡¯t do much work today, he didn¡¯t sleep well last night, and¡­he was a little uncomfortable today.


    Chengcheng lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.


    On the other side, Lu Yanzhou was dying of anxiety ¡ª why hasn¡¯t Xie Chengze come?!


    In the past, although Chengcheng would come to him late sometimes, but it was after ten o¡¯clock at the latest, but what about today? It was already midnight and Chengcheng didn¡¯t even come!


    He went to the countryside to look for supplies today, and saw a lot of snacks in a family¡¯s house. They were all smoked meat that could be stored for a long time, so he brought them all back and wanted to give them to Chengcheng, but now he didn¡¯t even see the person!


    At first, Lu Yanzhou complained that Chengcheng didn¡¯t take him seriously, but since Chengcheng never came, now he was only worried and anxious.


    Chengcheng likes him so much, and was so active last night, under such circumstances, he will not stop looking for him.


    As for Chengcheng¡¯s big brother¡­ What he did was not right, but it was Chengcheng who took the initiative. After Chengcheng¡¯s big brother understood the situation from Chengcheng, he shouldn¡¯t blame him, right? He wouldn¡¯t stop Chengcheng from coming to see him, right?


    After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze must be in trouble.


    What kind of trouble did Xie Chengze encounter? Why won¡¯t he teleport? Why didn¡¯t he come to him?


    Wait, teleportation is not a panacea. According to the original trajectory, Chengcheng was killed by Zhou Jingshan¡¯s men!


    Now¡­where is Chengcheng?


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. He wanted to find Chengcheng right away, as for how to find Chengcheng¡­


    Knowing that Xie Chengze lived in this safe zone, and suspecting that Xie Chengze was under control, Lu Yanzhou asked his subordinates to investigate if there are any places that could hide people in this security base.


    And his subordinates really found about two places.


    The food consumption in those two places is particularly large, so there should be a lot of people hidden inside.


    After the apocalypse, the whole world is in chaos. The security base they are in is orderly, but there are still many dirty things.


    The original owner paid great attention to reputation, so he would not dirty his hands by doing such things and would punish his subordinates for casually hurting others, but some of Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates were more capricious.


    They captured some people and locked them in two places, no one knew what they were doing.


    Lu Yanzhou frowned and started thinking.


    Xie Chengze knew him, so Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother must know who he was.


    He has a good reputation in the security base. Xie Chengze once asked him for help. Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother should have no enmity with him, but Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother didn¡¯t come to him¡­They must have been controlled.


    Lu Yanzhou had just learned of these two places. He planned to find out more before doing anything, but now he couldn¡¯t wait.


    He gritted his teeth, went downstairs, knocked on the doors of a few of his subordinates, then asked them if they would like to do something with him. He also said that this matter is more dangerous, and there is no benefit even if it¡¯s done.


    ¡°We are willing!¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates were woken up by him, but they all agreed.


    They all admired Lu Yanzhou, and felt that Lu Yanzhou was bringing them to do good deeds.


    Lu Yanzhou met their trusting gazes and felt that the original owner really did things wrong.


    The people in the security base and the original owner¡¯s subordinates all trust the original owner so much, what about the original owner? He betrayed these people when the danger came!


    At that time, when zombies were besieging the city, if the original owner was willing to persist, the morale of other people in the security base would definitely be relatively high. However, the original owner ran away, so the security base¡¯s defense line naturally was completely defeated.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Thank you for your help! Regardless of whether the next thing can be completed, I will give 20,000 contribution points to each of you tomorrow.¡±


    He won¡¯t be able to give any more¡­


    Lu Yanzhou chose twenty men to bring with him. He brought these people for no other reason than fearing that during the battle, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinate would take advantage of being surrounded by him and hurt the hostages.


    The first place Lu Yanzhou went to was the villa area where Zhou Jingshan lived ¡ª all the people living in this villa area were Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinate.


    The villa area is very large, with a single building in the front and some townhouse stacked rows at the back. According to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s investigation, the stacked row in the northwest corner seems to be a problem, people send a lot of food there every day.


    Lu Yanzhou led people there, and found that the stacked townhouse had been reinforced with earth abilities, and the sound insulation was far better than other places.


    What are you doing by making your residence so strong?


    What¡¯s more, in just a short while, Lu Yanzhou saw several ability users come out of it!


    After this period of non-stop practicing, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability has been upgraded to the peak of the fourth level. He even has a feeling that he will break through at any time.


    In addition, he can already control cement.


    This row of roofs was built on the ground, and most of the building materials used in the construction were fired with clay, and the subsequent reinforcements were also made with earth ability, which couldn¡¯t stop Lu Yanzhou at all.


    After thinking for a moment, he directly used his ability to make the entire villa roof disappear, as well as the front and rear walls.


    He brought a lot of people, and his strength is not bad, so there¡¯s no need to sneak in or something, it is better to do it directly!


    This caused a big commotion, especially after Lu Yanzhou did this, the situation in the room was completely revealed. It was simply unsightly.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Lu Yanzhou who is here!¡±


    ¡°Damn, kill him!¡±


    ¡­


    Various voices sounded, then various ability users started attacking Lu Yanzhou.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw the scene inside, his face changed. He said to his subordinates: ¡°Go and save people, I will stop them!¡±


    As Lu Yanzhou spoke, he fought with Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates.


    When Lu Yanzhou brought them to the villa area where Zhou Jingshan lived, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s men wondered if Lu Yanzhou was going to take them to assassinate Zhou Jingshan.


    Although they felt it was wrong, they still decided to fight for their boss.


    As a result? Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t come to assassinate, but to save people!


    They shouldn¡¯t misunderstand their kind boss!


    Besides, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates are too hateful!


    Looking at the miserable appearance of many people inside, these people didn¡¯t seem to do this voluntarily!


    Nowadays, due to insufficient resources, some people even die from malnutrition from time to time. Some people also volunteer to do some things, so they can¡¯t control them, but it¡¯s wrong to force others!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates immediately rushed over to save them.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Yanzhou was in a bad mood. He was being merciless, even killing a person directly.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, what are you doing? Why did you come to kill my people?¡± Zhou Jingshan¡¯s voice sounded, and then a sea of flames rushed towards Lu Yanzhou.


    Previously, Zhou Jingshan threw a fireball at Lu Yanzhou, he didn¡¯t use all his strength at all. This red-hot sea of flames that can burn everything is his true level!


    However, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s earthen wall blocked the sea of flames, and Lu Yanzhou said angrily: ¡°Shouldn¡¯t your subordinates be killed for doing such a thing?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan froze for a moment, and then saw the scene in the villa, where some people were covered in injuries.


    He is a young master who has always thought highly of himself and despised this kind of abusive behavior. He suddenly became angry and burned one of his subordinates to death: ¡°You bastard, what are you planning by doing this at my place? Fucking disgusting!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    With Zhou Jingshan standing in front of him, Lu Yanzhou opened up the basement with his earth ability, only to find that the basement was expanded with earth ability. It was very very large, and there were a lot of people imprisoned in it.


    Lu Yanzhou took a glance and found that there were probably three or four hundred people imprisoned in this place.


    He even saw someone who was tortured to death.


    Lu Yanzhou was furious. The only thing he was thankful for was that Xie Chengze wasn¡¯t here.


    As for Zhou Jingshan, he didn¡¯t expect such a place to exist near his residence, so he chased and beat his subordinates angrily, burning them until they all screamed.


    At the same time, District Chief Li heard the movement and brought people over.


    District Chief Li, who was wearing a vest and beach shorts, had an ugly expression when he arrived ¡ª he thought that the loud commotion was because Lu Yanzhou and Zhou Jingshan fought for the sake of profit.


    It turned out that he was wrong when he got to the place¡­District Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief first, then his face turned green again, and then he immediately asked for help to resettle the victim.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhou Jingshan at this moment: ¡°Zhou Jingshan, this place doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with you, but I found another place¡­Does it have anything to do with you? Did you do something shady in private?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou used the aggressive method. He did it because he was convinced that Zhou Jingshan had nothing to do with Xie Chengze being imprisoned.


    After all, in the original trajectory, the original owner asked Chengcheng to kill Zhou Jingshan. Chengcheng has always been unwilling and obviously didn¡¯t hate Zhou Jingshan¡­After Chengcheng¡¯s assassination failed, Zhou Jingshan was also looking for Chengcheng. He obviously didn¡¯t know Chengcheng.


    ¡°I never do anything shady! Don¡¯t wrong me!¡± Zhou Jingshan was furious.


    He previously quarreled with Gu Tan and Gu Tan said that she would marry Lu Yanzhou, but Zhou Jingshan didn¡¯t really believe it.


    After all, he is so outstanding, how could Gu Tan give up on him and choose Lu Yanzhou?


    But now that the people under him have done such stupid things, what will Gu Tan think of him in the future?


    Will she really marry Lu Yanzhou?


    Zhou Jingshan was about to explode!


    ¡°Then you go and have a look with me.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, then took Zhou Jingshan to a factory after speaking. His subordinates followed after seeing this.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates felt that today¡¯s trip was worthwhile!


    They were curious before, why their boss woke them up in the middle of the night, it turned out because he wanted to save people!


    Their boss is such a nice guy!


    They are also very willing to do this kind of thing!


    The second place is the factory controlled by Zhou Jingshan¡¯s people.


    Some factories have been built in the security base, most of which are under the control of the military, but the original owner and Zhou Jingshan have also opened factories.


    The original owner feels that money is useless in the apocalypse. In comparison, it¡¯s better to work hard to be the district chief of the safe zone, so the factory he opened has a welfare nature, and half of the money he earns is used to give back to the security base. The remaining half is used to win over subordinates.


    This is also one of the reasons why the original owner has a good reputation in the security base and has many subordinates.


    As for Zhou Jingshan¡­Zhou Jingshan lived a luxurious life and didn¡¯t care much about his subordinates.


    He has no idea what the factory under his hands is like.


    Lu Yanzhou came to this factory in the shortest time, and also used his earth ability to crush others and opened a hole above the factory.


    This place¡­turned out to be a laboratory!


    The most frightening thing is that the research subject here turned out to be ability users!


    There are crystal nuclei in mutated zombie bodies, which can be used by the ability users to improve their abilities, and ability users also have crystal nuclei in their bodies¡­


    This place is researching crystal nucleus transplantation. They transplanted the crystal nuclei from the ability user into ordinary people, and even transplanted the crystal nuclei from zombies into ordinary people!


    The basement of the previous villa was opened up by earth ability users, so it was very large. The basement of this factory is even bigger. There are many experimental equipment in it, and hundreds of people are also imprisoned.


    Is Xie Chengze here?


    Lu Yanzhou rushed in to look for the person, but he still couldn¡¯t find him.


    Realizing this, Lu Yanzhou was in a bad mood, on the other side, Zhou Jingshan was killing people at this moment.


    Zhou Jingshan is also a ability user. Someone here experimented with ability users. This has poked Zhou Jingshan¡¯s lungs.


    Zhou Jingshan is actually very clear that his subordinates are not loyal to him, so he has been dominating them with his strength to make them obedient.


    If these people research this thing, is it possible for them to kill him and take his crystal nucleus too?


    Zhou Jingshan became a killing god, but Lu Yanzhou was still saving people.


    District Chief Li was arranging things for the rescued people from the previous place, but he was late again. Seeing this scene, he said to Lu Yanzhou, ¡°Xiao Lu, thank you for this incident!¡±


    District Chief Li now feels that Lu Yanzhou is really good. As for being a little ambitious¡­what¡¯s the big deal?


    Most people in this world actually want to make contributions, don¡¯t they?


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything.¡±


    ¡°No, you have done a lot. If such a place is not destroyed, who knows how many people will die?¡± District Chief Li said seriously, ¡°I was really lax before, I wasn¡¯t strict enough! Lu Yanzhou, I want to ask for your help. You will lead people tomorrow to thoroughly check the security base. This kind of thing must never happen again! And the militia you mentioned must also be formed!¡±


    District Chief Li felt that the security base must be subject to stricter militarized management and legislation to prevent such atrocious incidents from happening again!


    Lu Yanzhou was very happy when he heard that. If District Chief Li does this, their security base will definitely become better and better! This is of great benefit to the future of the security base!


    As soon as he thought of this, he felt merits rushing towards him.


    He had already accumulated a lot of merits, he had almost accumulated enough merits to treat Xie Chengze¡¯s illness. Now that he has these merits¡­he can already cure Xie Chengze!


    He didn¡¯t find Xie Chengze, but it¡¯s good to have accumulated enough merit¡­Although he don¡¯t know where Xie Chengze is, in fact, as long as he is willing, he can use merit to heal Xie Chengze¡¯s soul in this world.


    Lu Yanzhou did this without hesitation.


    When Xie Chengze recovers, he will definitely come to him!

 CH 116

    After curing Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou really wanted to go back to his residence, but after thinking about it, he gave up.


    The two places he just destroyed were investigated by his subordinates, and they were able to be investigated because there were more people hiding in these two places and too much food was consumed.


    But what if there were fewer people hiding?


    Ability users can go out of the city to look for supplies. If there are few people hiding, others will not be able to find out at all. Let¡¯s just talk about him. Xie Chengze comes to his house and he feeds Xie Chengze every day but others don¡¯t know at all!


    After all, although he can go to the cafeteria to buy food, he can also cook it himself. Others can¡¯t accurately know the amount of food he consumes, so naturally they can¡¯t think that he is hiding someone.


    He didn¡¯t find them in these two places, so is it possible that Xie Chengze and his brother were hidden in other places?


    And those who hid people and did bad things, seeing such a big commotion, would they do such an irrational act such as killing the captives and destroying the corpses?


    In the operation just now, there were actually some perpetrators who saw the incident come to light and killed the victim.


    If the person who imprisoned Xie Chengze and his brother did something¡­


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have a good impression of Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother.


    The man has always refused to talk to him.


    He wrote to this person before, persuading him to eat the food he provided, but the person still refused to eat, and later he did not reply to the letter.


    If it wasn¡¯t because he talked with Xie Chengze all the time and Xie Chengze had come to ask him if he and Gu Tan were going to get married, he wouldn¡¯t even know that they were actually in the same security base as him.


    However, even if he had a bad impression, he couldn¡¯t let Xie Chengze¡¯s big brother have an accident.


    After all, he is Xie Chengze¡¯s family, and the other party may have unavoidable difficulties.


    So Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t rush back, instead he found District Chief Li and Zhou Jingshan who were cleaning up the mess: ¡°District Chief Li, Zhou Jingshan, with such places in the security base, there must be more than these two places, why don¡¯t we gather all the ability users in the security base and check them?¡±


    Ability users are strong, they can directly demolish the villa and the factory. Other second-level or third-level earth supernatural beings can also easily create a space underground to hide people.


    As for the fire-type ability user, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates were burned to ashes as soon as Zhou Jingshan made a move!


    People with water abilities are not weak either¡­they could drag people into the water, so they can kill people invisibly.


    People with ice abilities can use ice needles to kill people, people with metal abilities are even stronger, and people with wood abilities can become invincible with just some poisonous plants!


    This is also the reason why District Chief Li and the others have become weaker and weaker in their control over the security base.


    However, the security nase is inseparable from the ability users. They have fewer and fewer hot weapons, so the safety of the security base requires ability users protection.


    District Chief Li readily agreed, and Zhou Jingshan said, ¡°Surname Lu, why should I listen to you?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan killed many of his subordinates in the random killing before. However, his subordinates weren¡¯t just letting him slaughter them, so Zhou Jingshan himself was also injured, and now one of his arms was paralyzed by electric shock.


    On the contrary, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t get injured at all. Well, who made him an earth ability user, his defensive power was astonishing.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Could it be that you did something in private? Are you afraid that others will find out?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan was furious: ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    While talking, Gu Tan came¡­


    Zhou Jingshan saw Gu Tan from a distance and immediately said: ¡°These scoundrels have to be punished by everyone, old¡­I will investigate with you! You are not strong enough to fight, if someone resists, I have to help.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took a look at the wound on Zhou Jingshan¡¯s body, then agreed without hesitation.


    The number of ability users among the survivors is actually not low. About one tenth of the survivors in their security base are ability users.


    In other words, there are 20,000 to 30,000 ability users in the entire security base.


    However, most of these ability users are only level one, and many fire ability users can only send a few small fireballs¡­


    However, after all, the base is large, so there are many powerful ability users.


    Previously, Lu Yanzhou took his men out to kill zombies because they were strong and free, so he could bring hundreds of them at a time.


    As for the ability users under the original owner¡¯s hands, they add up to ten thousands. Of course, most of them are just using his names, the original owner doesn¡¯t know them at all.


    Zhou Jingshan is more rich than rich. The number of his subordinates is not as many as the original owner, but his subordinates are stronger, there are about two thousand in total.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to gather so many abilities, although there was a lot of commotion, but fortunately, he didn¡¯t encounter too much obstruction.


    Let¡¯s talk about Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates¡­Some of them acted recklessly, but not all of them were like this. When Zhou Jingshan killed people before, some people helped Zhou Jingshan.


    As for the original owner¡¯s subordinates, there are only a thousand strong people among them, and many of the rest are name ability users but they can only scare ordinary people. They have long been stunned by the big movement in the security base, so all of them are very obedient.


    Everyone was gathered in the barracks, and then Lu Yanzhou and Zhou Jingshan brought trustworthy people and the army together to thoroughly investigate the entire security base.


    At this time, it was already dawn, and people were all awake. Though many people were already awake last night.


    Everyone was very excited when they heard on the radio that there was going to be a search in the security nase. There were also some people who were bullied by ability users, so they gritted their teeth and reported some ability users.


    In addition to ability users, there are some ordinary people who also bully others¡­Of course, they can bully people because they have ability users as their backing.


    One year has passed, and because of the apocalypse, the whole world has become the law of the jungle.


    So, all kinds of messy things were found out¡­


    Xie Chengze was woken up by noisy sounds at four or five in the morning.


    And as soon as he woke up, he was dumbfounded.


    He suddenly had Chengcheng¡¯s memory¡­No, he didn¡¯t have Chengcheng¡¯s memory, in fact, he had the feeling that¡­Chengcheng was him.


    Chengcheng is indeed him. Many things Chengcheng does are actually his inner desires. Chengcheng listens to him only because¡­Chengcheng is him.


    When he was young, Chengcheng rarely appeared, but after his father died, Chengcheng would appear every night.


    That¡¯s because since his father died in the car accident to protect him, his mother was hit hard, so she was reluctant to talk to him. Since then Chengcheng would come out every day, crying and acting like a baby, pestering his mother.


    It was also because of him that Chengcheng suddenly ran out more than 20 days ago to get close to someone and fell in love with that person suddenly.


    He has always been afraid that others would discover his abnormality, so Chengcheng is very timid and dare not contact strangers.


    But then he fell in love with Lu Yanzhou and wanted to be with Lu Yanzhou¡­Chengcheng went to find Lu Yanzhou that night.


    It¡¯s not that Chengcheng wanted to find Lu Yanzhou, it was clearly that he wanted to find Lu Yanzhou!


    And what he did afterwards¡­Xie Chengze simply didn¡¯t know what to say.


    He actually¡­forced Lu Yanzhou!


    He used to think that the person Chengcheng liked was a beast, but in fact, he was the beast!


    Lu Yanzhou was unwilling at the time and kept avoiding him. It was he who teleported around Lu Yanzhou and then pushed him down.


    He felt that the man Chengcheng liked couldn¡¯t do it, but it was actually because¡­Lu Yanzhou was very careful in fear of hurting Chengcheng, and¡­At that time, Chengcheng was tired after a while, and then stopped¡­


    As for Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou did not continue.


    Xie Chengze no longer dared to think about it.


    What has he done!


    Lu Yanzhou was very kind to him, but he stretched out his claws to Lu Yanzhou¡­


    Xie Chengze went back and forth, recalling Chengcheng¡¯s memories repeatedly as his tears fell nonstop.


    He was happy, but also sad and ashamed, and even a little desperate.


    He was happy because he didn¡¯t like the wrong person, and he wasn¡¯t taken advantage of by others. Needless to say, he was sad and ashamed¡­Chengcheng ran away after doing that kind of thing, and then he didn¡¯t dare to see Lu Yanzhou, let alone him.


    As for despair¡­Originally, he had a chance to become friends with Lu Yanzhou, but now it¡¯s all screwed up!


    He had no face to see Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze probably realized what was going on.


    Chengcheng broke into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house suddenly. Lu Yanzhou must have been a little defensive at first, but since Chengcheng was innocent and naive, Lu Yanzhou let down his guards.


    As for Lu Yanzhou being so nice to Chengcheng¡­he must have taken a fancy to Chengcheng¡¯s abilities.


    He didn¡¯t know about Chengcheng¡¯s abilities before, so he only thought that Chengcheng could teleport, but now that he had Chengcheng¡¯s memory, he realized that besides being able to teleport, Chengcheng also had a lot of space to hold things.


    The fact that Gu Tan is so valued by others has something to do with her being a space ability user. Since Chengcheng is also a space ability user, Lu Yanzhou will naturally treat Chengcheng with courtesy.


    This has nothing to do with what he thought at first, that Lu Yanzhou wanted Chengcheng to do something dangerous!


    From the beginning to the end, Lu Yanzhou never thought of hurting Chengcheng, he could feel it!


    As for the future¡­Chengcheng is very likable and Lu Yanzhou is kind, so he takes good care of Chengcheng.


    The results of it? He took advantage of this good impression to kiss Lu Yanzhou, and peeked at Lu Yanzhou taking a bath¡­


    Lu Yanzhou treated him like a fool, and even indulged him!


    If Lu Yanzhou knew that he used so many good things but what he fed was a white-eyed wolf who coveted him, he wondered how he would feel.


    The current Lu Yanzhou must regret it, right?


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how long he had been lying on the bed.


    He recalled every detail of being with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was really good to him. If there was any good food or drink, he would save it for him first. If he couldn¡¯t finish it, Lu Yanzhou would eat it after.


    There is also the matter of Lu Yanzhou and Gu Tan. Lu Yanzhou said that he and Gu Tan will not get married¡­Lu Yanzhou will not lie to him, so this should be true.


    If he didn¡¯t do stupid things, stayed by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side all the time, treated Lu Yanzhou better, and behaved a little more usefully, maybe he could be with Lu Yanzhou.


    After all, Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t look¡­particularly straight.


    Why did he do something stupid!


    The more Xie Chengze thought about it, the more entangled he became, then at this moment, the movement outside became louder.


    Although Xie Chengze was woken up by the movement outside, he didn¡¯t know what happened outside. After thinking about it, he finally got up and walked outside.


    When he came outside, Xie Chengze saw that the person in charge of managing their area was talking to someone. Xie Chengze asked the people around him what happened, and the people around him said: ¡°I heard that Lu Yanzhou took people to destroy the security base last night. There are a few criminal dens, and now they will thoroughly investigate the entire security base¡­Our side is not the focus, but they still need to check, so someone will come door-to-door to check later.¡±


    Their house was recently built by Lu Yanzhou, and everyone has just checked in, so it is unlikely that there are prisoners and victims hiding, so only ordinary soldiers will come to check later.


    As for other places¡­the ability users will be the one to investigate thoroughly!


    The people who live here don¡¯t care about this kind of inspection, so they started praising Lu Yanzhou again: ¡°Lu Yanzhou is so kind, he took people to fight crimes at night.¡±


    ¡°I heard that several people under him were injured, I wonder if he is okay.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s so strong, he should be fine, right?¡±


    ¡°Maybe that¡¯s not the case. There was a lot of commotion last night. I heard that many people died.¡±


    ¡­


    Hearing what these people said, Xie Chengze was worried about Lu Yanzhou, but also a little dazed.


    Others don¡¯t really care about here because the people who live here are very very poor!


    Let¡¯s just talk about now, many people¡¯s doors are just a curtain, some even sleep with the door open at night ¡ª it¡¯s so hot now!


    But he is different from others. His house is full of furniture, and there are clothes and food given to him by Lu Yanzhou!


    If the people who come to check see it, they will definitely suspect him, and he still can¡¯t explain it clearly.


    Xie Chengze hurried back to the house, a little worried ¡ª what should he do with these things?!


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze suddenly thought about his ability.


    He couldn¡¯t use Chengcheng¡¯s ability before, but now that he got Chengcheng¡¯s memory, he might be able to use it!


    Xie Chengze tried it and found that he could really do it!


    He put away all the furniture and things he brought from Lu Yanzhou, then he found that his house was suddenly very empty without the warmth it had before.


    His heart also suddenly emptied.


    Life during this period was like a sweet dream to him.


    Today, the entire security base will be thoroughly inspected. Many factories were closed, and everyone was not allowed to wander around.


    Xie Chengze originally wanted to take care of father Gu, but in this situation, he obviously couldn¡¯t.


    He doesn¡¯t want to do this job anymore.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou and Gu Tan won¡¯t get married, they must meet each other often, and they live not far away. If he were to really go to Gu Tan¡¯s house to take care of Gu Tan¡¯s father, there is a high possibility that Lu Yanzhou will bump into him¡­


    Although he had negotiated with Gu Tan about the price of taking care of Gu Tan¡¯s father, up to now, he has not taken Gu Tan¡¯s money, so it¡¯s okay if he doesn¡¯t go.


    With Gu Tan¡¯s salary, it¡¯s very easy to find someone who is willing to take care of her father.


    He drove the ducks onto the perch1to push somebody to do something way beyond their ability on the first day.


    As for him¡­he can find a way to find a job elsewhere, even if he doesn¡¯t have a job now.


    His ability is really useful, if he teleports out to find supplies, who can compare to him? He can also find some more supplies and send them to Lu Yanzhou.


    He ate and drank for free at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s place and even make Lu Yanzhou¡­he will be compensated.


    Xie Chengze was waiting at home, then the inspector quickly came to him.


    There was nothing wrong with his registration information, and the room was empty, so they took one look and left.


    After they had checked all of them, someone brought some bread and gave them one by one.


    This is provided for free. Today many people won¡¯t be making any money because of the close down, so the security base was compensating them.


    After Xie Chengze received the bread, he ate it with the people around him.


    He doesn¡¯t chat, but he listens to those around him.


    The people who came to check just now talked about what happened last night. After they figured out the specific situation, they all praised Lu Yanzhou together, thinking that he was a very good person.


    Xie Chengze felt the same way.


    Lu Yanzhou was so kind to him. He just broke in but Lu Yanzhou still gave him delicious food.


    The sun rose higher and higher, it was afternoon in the blink of an eye. Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t bear the sun, so he went back to the house and lay down.


    However, at this time, Lu Yanzhou was very anxious.


    They found out many illegal and criminal things, but he never found Xie Chengze.


    During this period, he went back and did not see Xie Chengze coming to him either.


    Where is his Xie Chengze?


    His big and cute Xie Chengze?


    Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to keep looking¡­


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates praised in a low voice: ¡°Boss really worked hard.¡±


    ¡°Yes! As expected of boss!¡±


    ¡°We must do our best to crack down those crimes and protect the security base!¡±


    ¡­


    Encouraged by Lu Yanzhou, his subordinates were all in high spirits and worked neatly.


    On the other hand, Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates were not slow at work, but they were not motivated by Zhou Jingshan, but intimidated by Zhou Jingshan.


    Having lost face last night, Zhou Jingshan is in a bad mood right now, so with his bad temper, he scolds everyone he sees.


    If anyone moves slowly, he will start hitting.


    After he did this, how could his subordinates dare to resist. All of them were very obedient like quails.


    Of course, Zhou Jingshan didn¡¯t just dislike his subordinates, he also disliked Lu Yanzhou, and kept targeting Lu Yanzhou in a strange way.


    Because Zhou Jingshan took the lead last night, Lu Yanzhou originally didn¡¯t intend to quarrel with him, but now Zhou Jingshan seems to need a beating, so Lu Yanzhou directly used his ability to condense a stone stick and hit Zhou Jingshan.


    Zhou Jingshan cursed and tried to burn it with fire, but failed to burn the stone stick, so he took a hard hit: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you are sick!¡±


    ¡°You attacked me a lot before, obviously you are more sick.¡±


    ¡°Fuck!¡± Zhou Jingshan sent a sea of flames towards Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou easily blocked his attack, then he wrapped Zhou Jingshan with his earth ability.


    The huge hollow mud ball wrapped around Zhou Jingshan was rolling around on the ground, but no sound could be heard from inside, only some places on the mud ball were burnt red.


    After watching for a minute, Lu Yanzhou removed the mud ball.


    There is only so much oxygen in the mud ball, if Zhou Jingshan uses his fire ability in it¡­tsk tsk, the oxygen will be gone immediately.


    Zhou Jingshan came out of the mud ball, gasping for breath, ¡°Lu Yanzhou, fuck yo¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou interrupted him: ¡°My ability has been upgraded, are you sure you want to scold me?¡± Since he was busy last night, his ability was also upgraded.


    Zhou Jingshan¡¯s face darkened in an instant, he didn¡¯t dare to scold him anymore.


    He felt uncomfortable, so he pulled his hair subconsciously, then he pulled off a handful of burnt hair.


    When he was trapped in the mud ball before, he used his ability, not only was he almost suffocating himself to death, he also accidentally burned his hair off.


    His hair!


    How will he be handsome without his hair? What does he look like now?!


    Zhou Jingshan is rich and handsome, so he has been held up by others since childhood. After the apocalypse, he also possesses powerful abilities¡­He has always felt that the sky is the oldest child, the earth is the second child, and he is the third child.


    But now¡­he¡¯s numb, he¡¯s gone.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou thought of something: ¡°Zhou Jingshan, don¡¯t you always think that as long as you are strong enough to crush others, you don¡¯t need to listen to others?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan didn¡¯t say anything. He really always felt that the weak should be preyed upon by the strong. Of course, he never thought of bullying the weak. At most, he looked down on the weak and turned a blind eye to the weak.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Since this is the case, you will be responsible for the rest of the work. I¡¯m tired, so I¡¯ll go back and have a rest.¡±


    They have checked almost all the security base, now there¡¯s only some troublesome finishing work left. He should just let Zhou Jingshan do it!


    Zhou Jingshan had no way to refuse, so he could only agree with a cold face.


    Lu Yanzhou waited for him to agree, and then said to his subordinates: ¡°Go to the security base to spread the news, say that I fought with Zhou Jingshan and was injured by him, and the injury was serious.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re framing me!¡± Zhou Jingshan was angry: ¡°Where did I hurt you?!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou sneered: ¡°Then tell people that you were injured by me? Even your hair is gone?¡±


    This is too poisonous! Zhou Jingshan would rather be discredited! ¡°No, just do as you say.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew that these people were curious about why he did this, so he explained: ¡°I want to lure someone out, just do as I say.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is very sure of one thing, that is, Xie Chengze¡¯s life is guaranteed now.


    However, he still couldn¡¯t find Xie Chengze¡­Was Xie Chengze really trapped?


    After thinking a lot, Lu Yanzhou could only do this, trying to get Xie Chengze to come to him.


    When Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates heard what Lu Yanzhou said, they all agreed.


    So, not long after, the news spread throughout the security base.


    Although Xie Chengze was lying in the room, the door was not closed tightly, and he also kept listening to the sounds from outside.


    He already knew that the criminal gang that Lu Yanzhou targeted last night was Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates, so he was worried that Zhou Jingshan would hurt Lu Yanzhou.


    In the end¡­he was really hurt?


    Is Lu Yanzhou alright?


    Xie Chengze thought for a moment, then he was really worried. After he got up and closed the door, he teleported to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s house.


    He arrived at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s living room. As soon as he showed up, he saw Lu Yanzhou sitting on the sofa.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how to react for a moment. He froze in place, and then he heard Lu Yanzhou stand up and say, ¡°Don¡¯t run!¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t run away after all, but he also didn¡¯t dare to face Lu Yanzhou, however, he had to¡­He should bear the consequences.


    Xie Chengze lowered his head.


    ¡°Chengcheng! Why didn¡¯t you come to see me last night? Do you know how worried I was that something might happen to you! I¡¯ve been looking for you all night!¡± Lu Yanzhou said in one breath.


    Xie Chengze was stunned when he heard this.


    He was always afraid that Lu Yanzhou would blame him, but¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t blame him? He even worried about him?


    Even the big commotion last night was caused by him?


    Seeing him stunned, Lu Yanzhou stepped forward to check his physical condition: ¡°You haven¡¯t encountered any trouble, have you? Little heartless¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s attitude remained the same as before. He was very worried about Chengcheng.


    Xie Chengze felt so lucky in his heart that he rushed up and hugged Lu Yanzhou, kissed Lu Yanzhou on the cheek, and said sweetly: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I¡¯m tired and not feeling well, that¡¯s why I didn¡¯t come, don¡¯t be angry¡­¡±


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t speak, Xie Chengze kissed him several more times: ¡°Don¡¯t be angry!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Why does this make him suffocate?


    And, isn¡¯t Xie Chengze better? Why is he still like this?


    Uh¡­Xie Chengze recovered from his illness, but it¡¯s really not easy to change all of a sudden¡­


    Lu Yanzhou sighed: ¡°I¡¯m not angry¡­Chengcheng, are you hurt that day so you don¡¯t feel well? Go to bed, I¡¯ll take a look for you.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±

 CH 117

    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how to get along with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was too kind to him.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care about what he did before.


    It was Lu Yanzhou¡¯s request¡­Xie Chengze blinked: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Xie Chengze also went all out, mainly because he was reluctant to give up Lu Yanzhou¡¯s tenderness.


    His mother always felt that he killed his father. After his father died, she was very indifferent to him. Later, his mother formed a new family and finally let go of her grievances against him, then his younger brother was born.


    In his stepfather¡¯s house, he was the extra person. His mother would not buy him clothes or snacks, so thanks to his father for leaving a lot of money or else he wouldn¡¯t be able to survive.


    Few people cared about him like Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou checked Xie Chengze. Although there was no injury, he still gave Xie Chengze some medicine, and then asked, ¡°Chengcheng, why do you always have bruises on your body?¡±


    The first time Lu Yanzhou saw Xie Chengze and bathed Xie Chengze, he saw bruises on his body, then he often saw them later too.


    It¡¯s just that these don¡¯t seem to be from abuse but Chengcheng still didn¡¯t say anything.


    Most of the bruises on Xie Chengze¡¯s body were caused by bumps during work.


    Now is not the pre-apocalyptic era. Although the security base is tightly connected to the hospital¡¯s power supply, many unnecessary power-consuming facilities in the hospital are closed, such as elevators.


    Some patients with limited mobility were carried up and down by them.


    The bruises on his body now were caused by father Gu beating during the process of holding down father Gu. In addition to father Gu, some patients who had emotional breakdowns would also hit him in the past.


    Not to mention anything else, if a very rich person before the apocalypse got a disease that was easy to treat before, but now that they find that they have no money to pay for the medical bills, or the hospital has no medicine at all¡­will they break down or not?


    Let¡¯s talk about Gu Tan¡¯s mother, if her daughter wasn¡¯t talented, she would have died long ago due to lack of money for medical treatment.


    Xie Chengze blinked his eyes: ¡°I accidentally fell.¡±


    ¡°Are you so careless?¡± Lu Yanzhou doubted.


    Xie Chengze hugged him again and kissed: ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou laughed all of a sudden, pointed to the other side of his face and said, ¡°Chengcheng, you can¡¯t just kiss one side, you have to kiss this side too.¡±


    Xie Chengze immediately kissed a few more times happily.


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou say: ¡°I¡¯ll go get something to eat, you stay here and don¡¯t run around, I¡¯ll feel bad if I can¡¯t find you.¡±


    Xie Chengze nodded.


    Only then did Lu Yanzhou feel relieved to cook.


    Xie Chengze was in a daze when he heard the sound of cooking from outside.


    Lu Yanzhou was very close to him, and this closeness made him realize one thing, that is¡­Lu Yanzhou might like him.


    No, it¡¯s not that he likes him, it should be that he likes Chengcheng.


    In fact, there were early signs of this. Other than that, Lu Yanzhou really does like him¡­Lu Yanzhou is so powerful, how can Chengcheng succeed in getting his way?


    In the past, when Chengcheng kissed him, he liked it very much, so he didn¡¯t reject it at all, let alone today, he even thought about giving him medicine and letting him kiss the other side of his face.


    Didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou like Gu Tan? How could he like him?


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou likes Gu Tan, in fact, has always been what he heard, Lu Yanzhou never said it! Previously, Lu Yanzhou also devoted his energies to Chengcheng every night.


    Lu Yanzhou always wanted Chengcheng to live with him!


    Xie Chengze was still thinking when he heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s voice: ¡°Chengcheng, come and eat.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou uses gas tanks for cooking. This kind of thing that was about to be eliminated before the apocalypse has become a treasure now.


    As for the prepared food¡­He has been thinking about Xie Chengze all the time today, so he couldn¡¯t eat and he didn¡¯t go to the cafeteria to buy food. He simply cooked a big pot of instant noodles and put some luncheon meat in it.


    Instant noodles are easy to digest, and they are still very suitable for Xie Chengze to eat now. In order to avoid irritation, he also made stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms that are not spicy.


    In addition, Lu Yanzhou also gave Xie Chengze the snacks he had brought back to Xie Chengze, and let Xie Chengze eat them: ¡°I found these yesterday, I¡¯ll give them to you. Chengcheng, is there anything you want to eat? I¡¯ll find it for you.¡±


    ¡°I like these very much! I really like them!¡± Xie Chengze said.


    It¡¯s not difficult for Xie Chengze to pretend to be Chengcheng.


    After all, he has all Chengcheng¡¯s memories. As for Chengcheng¡¯s reaction in front of Lu Yanzhou¡­As long as he completely gives up his sense of shame, he is Chengcheng!


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯ll find it for you later!¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Xie Chengze nodded.


    Lu Yanzhou continued asking: ¡°Chengcheng, where do you live? You left so suddenly, I don¡¯t feel comfortable.¡±


    Xie Chengze thought for a moment and said, ¡°I won¡¯t leave in the future, I will live here.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was overjoyed: ¡°Really?¡±


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reaction like this, Xie Chengze became more and more sure that Lu Yanzhou liked Chengcheng: ¡°You really went to find me last night?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m afraid that you and your brother will be controlled by Zhou Jingshan¡¯s people. After all, you¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze all his analysis.


    Xie Chengze has recovered, he can¡¯t always treat Xie Chengze as a child, he should tell him about many things.


    Well, although Xie Chengze¡¯s performance was the same as before, Lu Yanzhou still felt a little different.


    Xie Chengze was a little embarrassed when he heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s analysis. Thinking about how Lu Yanzhou was worried about this, he also felt that he was wrong.


    Lu Yanzhou should definitely plan more carefully before taking action!


    ¡°Then were you injured?¡± Xie Chengze asked. When he came here, seeing Lu Yanzhou sitting upright, he let go of his worries.


    It was summer now, Lu Yanzhou was wearing short sleeves and sweatpants, so he could tell at a glance if he was really injured.


    However, he still wants to ask.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°Of course I¡¯m not injured! I¡¯m already a fifth-level ability user, Zhou Jingshan can¡¯t beat me at all!¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou adoringly: ¡°You are awesome!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°I will continue to work hard!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou seemed to be in high spirits, as if he was trying his best in front of his sweetheart.


    The more Xie Chengze looked at him, the more he liked him, and the love in his heart seemed to be overflowing.


    How lucky he is to be liked by such a person.


    It¡¯s just¡­what Lu Yanzhou likes is the pure and untainted Chengcheng.


    Chengcheng is also him, but he is different from Chengcheng.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t know why he has Chengcheng¡¯s memories now, but at night, Chengcheng will definitely appear, right?


    The only thing he can do now is to pretend to be Chengcheng, so that he will be exactly the same during the day and night, so Lu Yanzhou will not know that he is actually sick.


    It was already evening when Xie Chengze got the news. After the two of them had a good meal, it was already dark.


    After Lu Yanzhou finished eating, he remembered about Xie Chengze¡¯s brother: ¡°Chengcheng, if you live with me, what about your brother?¡±


    Xie Chengze had already thought about this before: ¡°My brother has his own things to do and won¡¯t mind me.¡±


    ¡°What is your brother doing now? Do you want me to arrange a job for him?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze answered: ¡°No, my brother has a job¡­Actually, my brother won¡¯t let me tell you about him.¡±


    Xie Chengze originally wanted to say that he had no brother, but he had written to Lu Yanzhou before.


    Now he can only lie to Lu Yanzhou like this.


    He didn¡¯t want to leave Lu Yanzhou and he didn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to worry about him.


    He can only live despicably with Chengcheng identity.


    One day, Lu Yanzhou may know the truth, and what will happen at that time¡­Let¡¯s talk about it at that time.


    Lu Yanzhou clearly felt that Xie Chengze¡¯s brother wanted to draw a line with him, so now hearing this from Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth, he wasn¡¯t surprised at all.


    He himself didn¡¯t really want to get along with Xie Chengze¡¯s brother, so he didn¡¯t investigate further and asked, ¡°Chengcheng, what¡¯s your full name?¡±


    Xie Chengze thought for a moment and said, ¡°My name is Xie Chengze.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew his name was Xie Chengze long ago, so he asked again: ¡°Xie Chengze, that¡¯s a nice name, do you like me to call you Chengcheng, or something else? Like AZe?¡±


    He is used to calling him AZe, so he wants to change how he calls him..


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart trembled but he immediately said, ¡°Just call me Chengcheng.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou can only agree, Xie Chengze likes him to call him ¡®Chengcheng¡¯, so he¡¯ll just call him Chengcheng.


    Lu Yanzhou had already taken a bath after returning home, but Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t taken a bath today, so Lu Yanzhou asked him to take a bath, intending to go to bed early.


    He didn¡¯t sleep all night last night, he was really tired.


    Xie Chengze agreed and went to take a bath.


    Seeing Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou felt relieved, lay on the bed, and soon fell into a daze. When Xie Chengze came over after taking a shower, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Chengze, then soon fell asleep.


    Xie Chengze was lying on the bed, but he couldn¡¯t sleep.


    He is a little sorry for Chengcheng¡­


    Xie Chengze, as usual, was thinking about what he wanted to say to Chengcheng.


    He told Chengcheng not to tell Lu Yanzhou of his existence, he said that he would play Chengcheng well during the day, and he even apologized to Chengcheng.


    Xie Chengze thought for a long time, and then had a good night¡¯s sleep.


    When he woke up, he had no memory of last night.


    He didn¡¯t have Chengcheng¡¯s memory? If he plays Chengcheng like this, will something go wrong?


    Xie Chengze really wanted to ask Lu Yanzhou if he woke up last night and if he did anything, but he didn¡¯t dare to ask, he was very conflicted.


    Lu Yanzhou knew nothing about Xie Chengze¡¯s mood. He got up earlier than Xie Chengze, so when he saw Xie Chengze woke up, he smiled at Xie Chengze: ¡°Good morning! Chengcheng, what do you want for breakfast?¡±


    Chengcheng is not polite, so Xie Chengze asked: ¡°What¡¯s for breakfast?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I don¡¯t know what the cafeteria will serve today, why don¡¯t you go to the cafeteria with me to have a look?¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little hesitant. He didn¡¯t mind going to the cafeteria, but if he happened to meet Gu Tan or someone else¡­


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°There are so many people, I¡¯m a little scared.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, come with me, nothing will happen.¡± Lu Yanzhou encouraged him.


    Previously, Xie Chengze always came to him every night and left early in the morning. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know about Xie Chengze¡¯s other situation, so he didn¡¯t take him out and even deliberately hid him.


    But now that Xie Chengze¡¯s illness has recovered, and he is also willing to stay¡­Then he must introduce Xie Chengze to others.


    Xie Chengze frowned: ¡°But I don¡¯t want others to see my face.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°This is easy, I¡¯ll make you a mask!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou did what he said. He could already control all kinds of rocks, so now he made a thin jade mask. This mask can cover the upper half of his face, revealing his chin, mouth, and nose, it fit perfectly on Xie Chengze¡¯s face: ¡°Chengcheng, try it on.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Xie Chengze put it on in surprise.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°As long as you like it, this mask will be used by you in the future. Would you like to go with me to the security base to register? Then you can also enjoy the various benefits as an ability user in the future.¡±


    Xie Chengze nodded again and again: ¡°I am willing to register!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s have breakfast first, and then go to register.¡± Lu Yanzhou was in a particularly good mood.


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou was happy, Xie Chengze smiled.


    Then, Lu Yanzhou suddenly remembered another thing: ¡°By the way, Chengcheng, there is one thing I forgot to tell you.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Xie Chengze was curious.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s about our relationship! Chengcheng, we did what a husband and wife would do before, you should know that, right?¡±


    Xie Chengze nodded, a little nervous.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Since we have done such a thing, you will be my partner from now on, I will treat you well.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was in a hurry to confirm their relationship. His subordinates were all waiting to see the person he liked!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were sore, he wanted to cry for a moment.


    Because of happiness, but also because of bitterness.


    If only Lu Yanzhou won¡¯t ever find out about his true face!

 CH 118

    Xie Chengze blinked, blinking away the soreness in his eyes, then raised a smile and asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Are you going to marry me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Yes! Do you want a wedding? If it is a wedding, it may take a while.¡± He is short on time, after all, the security base will usher in a wave of zombies soon.


    No matter what, they have to wait until the zombie tide is over before they can hold the wedding.


    When Xie Chengze heard Lu Yanzhou say ¡®yes¡¯, he felt elated, but when Lu Yanzhou talked about the wedding, he was a little dazed.


    Lu Yanzhou even thought about the wedding?


    They haven¡¯t known each other for long, Lu Yanzhou has thought so much? In this case, why did he refuse when Chengcheng took the initiative before?


    It made him think that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like him.


    Xie Chengze was a little puzzled but he is now Chengcheng, he already gave up his sense of shame, so he simply asked directly: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, do you really like me?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I told you already.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou did say it, but he thought Lu Yanzhou was coaxing the child: ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you want to sleep with me before? I thought you didn¡¯t like me, so I didn¡¯t dare come to see you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± So Xie Chengze didn¡¯t come to him because of this?


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°You are like a child, I am afraid you will regret it, I may have done something wrong then¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± So that¡¯s the reason!


    Thinking about it carefully, with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s personality, even if he likes Chengcheng, he will definitely intend to take his time, so he won¡¯t think about taking advantage of the opportunity that comes.


    No, based on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s previous behavior¡­If Chengcheng didn¡¯t take the initiative, he might hold back forever!


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to the cafeteria.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to the most expensive canteen in the security base, which is the legendary No. 1 canteen.


    After busting during the day yesterday, Lu Yanzhou left all kinds of things to Zhou Jingshan and went back to rest by himself, and of course his subordinates also went back.


    People who had a good night¡¯s rest came to the cafeteria in the morning. After they came, they got together to talk about yesterday¡¯s events¡­So when Lu Yanzhou entered the cafeteria, he saw many of his subordinates in the cafeteria.


    These people greeted him one after another when they saw him: ¡°Boss!¡±


    After saying hello, their eyes fell on Xie Chengze. Some of them had a good relationship with Lu Yanzhou, so they quickly asked, ¡°Boss, who is this?¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how Lu Yanzhou was going to introduce him, so he was a little nervous. He grabbed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm, then Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°He is the one I told you about, the one I like.¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned again.


    Lu Yanzhou not only thought about the wedding, but also talked about him?


    It was said that Lu Yanzhou liked Gu Tan, so he thought that when Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates saw him, they would think he was a mistress or something.


    ¡°So he¡¯s sister-in-law¡­Well, it¡¯s not bad to call that right?¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates were a little dumbfounded.


    Their boss used to be very straight, why did he suddenly bend?!


    They thought that the person their boss liked was a big beauty, but now¡­this is obviously a man as tall as their boss!


    ¡°You can call him brother Xie¡­his surname is Xie.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Brother Xie!¡± Everyone greeted Xie Chengze and looked at Xie Chengze curiously.


    Xie Chengze has completely regarded himself as Chengcheng, so he happily looks at them.


    He wished that everyone would know that Lu Yanzhou belonged to him.


    ¡°Brother Xie, why are you wearing a mask?¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, are you from our security base?¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone asked Xie Chengze curiously.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°He¡¯s so good-looking, I didn¡¯t want to show you guys that¡¯s why I asked him to wear a mask¡­His name is Xie Chengze.¡±


    Seeing that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t reject these people, Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to sit beside them, took out his own card, then asked some people to buy all the varieties of breakfast provided today.


    Even in the No. 1 canteen, there are not many varieties of breakfast provided. Of course, he and Xie Chengze definitely can¡¯t finish it, so he could also give it to the people under him when the time comes.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates went to buy immediately. Lu Yanzhou said to Xie Chengze: ¡°Chengcheng, they are all my subordinates, you can get to know them. If you have any trouble in the future, you can ask them for help.¡±


    ¡°En!¡± Xie Chengze nodded obediently.


    Lu Yanzhou stroked his hair, and then said to his subordinates: ¡°Brother Xie is a space ability user with a lot of space storage.¡±


    He was going to take Xie Chengze to register later, so he won¡¯t be able to hide this matter anyway.


    When Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates heard about this, they were surprised and delighted!


    Their boss is too powerful! Without Gu Tan, he could also find other space ability users.


    Wait, their boss suddenly bent. Could it be because this person has space ability?


    Although they think their boss is a good person, they also know that their boss often pays attention to the efficiency or benefit of the things rather than the thing itself.


    Maybe their boss thinks that feelings are not important, but space ability users are important?


    But this is nothing, now is the apocalypse, who is unrealistic!


    Not to mention anything else, since Xie Chengze is a space ability user, they should have a good relationship with Xie Chengze!


    Just as they were thinking, those who went to buy food came back with a few plates of food.


    Then they saw their boss looking at Xie Chengze tenderly: ¡°Chengcheng, you can eat whatever you want, if you can¡¯t finish it, give it to me.¡±


    Wait, their boss has always been a bit stingy. He was not generous at all when he was courting Gu Tan, but today he not only bought all the food, but was also so tender¡­This attitude is so much better than when he was treating Gu Tan!


    Everyone began to doubt again, feeling that their previous guess was wrong.


    Of course their guess was wrong.


    The original owner pursued Gu Tan because of Gu Tan¡¯s ability, so he didn¡¯t have much sincerity towards Gu Tan. Compared to Gu Tan, the original owner still felt that his career was more important, so he treated Gu Tan like that.


    But for Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze was different.


    Xie Chengze hasn¡¯t seen so many delicious foods for a long time, but he can¡¯t eat them all¡­


    The food that Lu Yanzhou prepared for him before were all easy to carry. He had already eaten the stuffed buns and rice balls here, so Xie Chengze ate the noodles.


    Delicious!


    Xie Chengze ate in satisfaction.


    Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry to eat, but instead recommended another thing too: ¡°Would you like to try fried rice?¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little hesitant.


    ¡°If you can¡¯t finish eating, just give it to me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has said that twice! Xie Chengze pushed the noodles in front of Lu Yanzhou and happily started eating the fried rice.


    Also delicious!


    Well, soft bean curd is also delicious!


    But Xie Chengze didn¡¯t dare to taste too many kinds, lest Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t finish his leftovers¡­


    Xie Chengze ate four kinds of food, including noodles, fried rice, soft bean curd and vermicelli soup. Some, he ate half of it. Some, he ate a third of it.


    Lu Yanzhou ate what he couldn¡¯t finish.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates: ¡°¡­¡± They were wrong, this is definitely true love!


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, these are delicious!¡± Xie Chengze said sweetly.


    ¡°Eat more if you like it. I¡¯ll bring you to eat something else tomorrow.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Mm. You¡¯re so kind, I like you so much!¡± Xie Chengze directly kissed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cheek.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± This feeling is too good!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates: ¡°¡­¡± They know why their boss is bent, if they meet such a cutie, they will bend too!


    Xie Chengze wore a mask, so he was more open. He said all kinds of sweet speech and honeyed words without any demand: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I want to eat with you every day.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I¡¯m so full that my stomach is protruding.¡±


    ¡°You will definitely make me fat. Will you dislike me by then?¡±


    ¡­


    While he was talking, he was still clinging to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arm.


    Lu Yanzhou felt a little overwhelmed: ¡°I won¡¯t dislike you, I like you the most!¡±


    ¡°I like you the most, much more than you like me!¡± Xie Chengze said immediately.


    Among Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates, those men felt that¡­Although this Xie Chengze is a man, he is strangely cute?


    As for those girls, they feel¡­well, he seems like a green tea.


    Haha, man, only their mouth is good.


    While talking, Gu Tan and Zhou Jingshan came.


    Zhou Jingshan followed Gu Tan and kept explaining to Gu Tan: ¡°Tantan, I really don¡¯t know about those things.¡±


    ¡°So you want me to know that you are stupid?¡± Gu Tan said.


    Zhou Jingshan: ¡°¡­¡±


    Zhou Jingshan was feeling ashamed when he saw Lu Yanzhou, and all the old and new grudges welled up in his heart.


    At the same time, he discovered an important point: ¡°Look, Gu Tan, Lu Yanzhou is cuddling with a man, I think he might be bent!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯m bent, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan sneered: ¡°Then you still pursue Tantan? What were you planning before?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked innocent: ¡°At that time, I just wanted Gu Tan to join the group.¡±


    The original owner did pursue Gu Tan, but he was embarrassed and never confessed his love.


    Lu Yanzhou insisted on saying that he was just trying to win over Gu Tan¡­it seems to make sense.


    Speaking of which, the fact that the original owner likes Gu Tan is because Zhou Jingshan had a conflict with the original owner, which made it known to all.


    Zhou Jingshan: ¡°¡­¡± Why does this make him seem like a noisy person?


    Xie Chengze was still hanging on Lu Yanzhou. He leaned into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ear and asked, ¡°Brother Yanzhou, who is this?¡±


    ¡°A boring person.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze nodded, then smiled at Gu Tan.


    He believed that Gu Tan would not recognize him, after all, when Gu Tan met him, he was wearing a mask that revealed the upper half of his face, but now he was wearing a mask that revealed the lower half of his face.


    In addition, his expression was completely different from before.


    ¡°Oh! He looks so fierce!¡± Xie Chengze said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, he can¡¯t beat me.¡± Lu Yanzhou comforted him.


    ¡°Mm. Brother Yanzhou, you are the best!¡± Xie Chengze kissed Lu Yanzhou again, declaring his sovereignty.


    Lu Yanzhou felt very good.


    Zhou Jingshan¡­Zhou Jingshan¡¯s goosebumps are about to fall off!


    He really didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to have this taste!


    Now he doesn¡¯t have to worry about Lu Yanzhou snatching Gu Tan from him!


    Tsk tsk, he is handsome, unrestrained and suave, who else could Gu Tan choose besides him?

 CH 120

    Lu Yanzhou woke up early the next morning, and then called out Xie Chengze who was sleepy and coquettish in bed: ¡°If you go late, there will be no good food in the cafeteria!¡±


    Xie Chengze had already entered the bathroom by teleportation: ¡°I¡¯ll be done soon!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He really wants the space ability! Especially like how Xie Chengze uses it, it¡¯s too good!


    After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Xie Chengze said to Lu Yanzhou seriously, ¡°I can actually sleep a little longer. When you get to the cafeteria, I can teleport there.¡± This way he doesn¡¯t have to walk!


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that if you don¡¯t exercise every day, you will become a big fat man?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°You said you like me even if I¡¯m fat!¡± Xie Chengze hummed.


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± If Xie Chengze was chubby, isn¡¯t that good? A white and fat ball must be comfortable to hold.


    However, in the apocalypse¡­he still has to urge Xie Chengze to exercise well.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.


    In the first few days, in order to let Xie Chengze eat more delicious food, Lu Yanzhou would buy a few more food each time, but not now, for example, today, they only bought one rice bowl per person.


    Rice mixed with potatoes, eggs scrambled in bean paste, bacon and peanuts, and finally wrapped with lettuce¡­it tastes really good.


    ¡°Chengcheng, let¡¯s go out to collect supplies today, and then you should practice your abilities more,¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Mm,¡± Xie Chengze nodded seriously, ¡°Chengcheng is very good!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou touched his head, this kid is really good!


    In the past half month, there were many things happening in the safe zone. Even if Lu Yanzhou took the militia out, they just wandered around and couldn¡¯t find any supplies at all.


    On the contrary, a lot of fields have been reclaimed.


    Militia training consumes a lot of food. If they don¡¯t find supplies, the food in the security base will be exhausted if this continues.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to take people to look for food today.


    Gu Tan has space ability but her space is not large and can only hold a few things. Xie Chengze is different, his space is more than ten times Gu Tan¡¯s.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to take him to the countryside near C City to collect various agricultural products.


    Going out to collect supplies would be inconvenient if there were too many people, so Lu Yanzhou only brought around twenty confidants.


    Previously, when he went out with Gu Tan, he squatted on the roof of the car every day and tanned himself several degrees. This time it was different. He sat in the minibus with Xie Chengze, holding a plastic bottle filled with ice and teaching Xie Chengze how to use his ability, it was a good feeling.


    Xie Chengze studied very seriously, and would say from time to time: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, you are so amazing!¡±


    Then the two made out.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinate: ¡°¡­¡± Isn¡¯t this too much dog food? They feel they should go to the roof.


    Of course, they won¡¯t really go to the roof, they want to learn from the expert!


    Lu Yanzhou has researched some methods to exercise their ability, which can be used by all ability users, and he has also recorded a video and made them public.


    However, how did Lu Yanzhou explain what in the public video to Xie Chengze so carefully?


    So even if the vehicle is full of dog food, they have to eat while listening.


    While talking, Lu Yanzhou would also talk to Xie Chengze about the zombies outside, telling Xie Chengze not to be afraid.


    Xie Chengze looked as if he was very strong and puffed up his chest: ¡°They are really scary but I am not afraid if you are here, Brother Yanzhou!¡±


    Xie Chengze was actually not afraid of those zombies at all.


    He was an ordinary person before, without any ability, but he once tied a kitchen knife to a stick and used it to chop up zombies.


    Now that he has ability, he is even less afraid.


    However, Chengcheng is like the young him, he will definitely be scared when he sees this. Thinking of this, Xie Chengze trembled very naturally and shrank to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly comforted him, feeling a little worried.


    Xie Chengze has always been violent in battle, but now he is too soft.


    At noon, the convoy finally reached the countryside.


    The apocalypse is scary, but one thing to be thankful for is that plants have not mutated, and zombified animals are rare, it was only limited to mammals.


    For the current security base, the horror of zombie rats is not weaker than zombies. Fortunately, after rats become zombies, they will no longer dig holes and they move slowly so they can be killed or blocked.


    So far, they haven¡¯t found any mutated zombie rats. After all kinds of rat extermination activities have been carried out in the security base, there is no need to worry about these things now.


    Of course, the people who came out had to be careful, so even though it was hot, they all wore rubber boots and thick clothes.


    When everyone came outside, feeling the heat waves, they immediately asked for ice from the ice ability users. After everyone held a piece of ice in their hands, they felt better, and then continued to move forward.


    They visited this place some time ago and found that a lot of vegetables and food were grown here before the apocalypse.


    Although it has been a year since the apocalypse, these crops have not been taken care of for a year, but they are still growing!


    ¡°What a huge piece of potato!¡±


    ¡°The grain is not tidy at all, it¡¯s not good to harvest now, right?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s lots of veggies here!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was very excited to see those crops, but how to collect these things was difficult for them.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Earth ability user will dig out all the crops in the field with me, and then put them into your space.¡±


    It¡¯s really troublesome for ordinary people to harvest grain, but when it comes to ability users¡­won¡¯t it be stress-free to harvest a large piece?


    Lu Yanzhou led the people to work. Once he used his ability, all the vegetables and food in the field came out of the mud.


    Then Xie Chengze put them into his space.


    As for how to deal with it¡­After bringing it back to the security base, he¡¯ll let the ordinary people in the security base handle it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t dig out all the things, save some seeds¡­so that we can come to collect them next time.¡±


    ¡°Those are weeds, not vegetables! What are you doing digging them out?¡±


    ¡°Control your ability, don¡¯t harm the potato!¡±


    ¡­


    Under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s command, everyone was busy for a long time, collected a lot of food, then returned with a full load.


    Of course, the most impressive thing is Xie Chengze¡¯s ability.


    So many things but it was all put into his space!


    He can also teleport. As soon as he finished collecting one area, he went to collect vegetables in another area in a blink of an eye!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates all knew Xie Chengze¡¯s ability level, but Xie Chengze¡¯s behavior was too harmless before, so that their impression of Xie Chengze was that he was a little boy who loves to act like a baby. They really couldn¡¯t connect him with a powerful ability user.


    However, Xie Chengze suddenly teleported over and took away all the food they worked so hard to find without saying a word, and then teleported away¡­


    This behavior is extremely like a cold and powerful boss!


    They looked at Xie Chengze with admiration, then saw that Xie Chengze had actually teleported to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, am I powerful?¡±


    ¡°Powerful.¡±


    ¡°Am I stronger than Gu Tan?¡± Xie Chengze asked again.


    ¡°Of course!¡±


    ¡­


    Whatever boss, they think too much.


    This is exactly a jealous little sweetie!


    Everyone works and works until evening before going back.


    There is no need to re-open the road back, so the speed is much faster than when they came here. Everyone took turns to drive, and while letting the ice ability user give them frozen sugar water popsicles, they shared the dinner in Xie Chengze¡¯s space.


    ¡°It¡¯s convenient to have people with spatial abilities!¡±


    ¡°How much grain and vegetables did we harvest today? Is there 10,000 catties?¡±


    ¡°Anyway, zombies don¡¯t eat vegetables and food. I think we can grow food outside the security base in the future. Well, let the earth ability users dig the ground, let the wind ability user sow the seeds, and then water ability user water¡­for good harvest, we¡¯ll let the fire ability user burn the weeds and stalks and also fertilize the land!¡±


    ¡°What a great idea!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou also thought it was a good idea.


    However, his subordinates are really down-to-earth! Zhou Jingshan has many ability users, but they all think that ability users are masters, and ordinary people should serve ability users, so they don¡¯t want to do this.


    Of course, most of those people have run away now, and Zhou Jingshan has also become obedient.


    It was already dark when everyone returned to the security base.


    The energy in the security base is insufficient, so they don¡¯t use much electricity, but because today is the middle of the lunar month and the moon is quite round, it¡¯s not difficult to see clearly.


    Lu Yanzhou and the others came to the square in the security base and asked Xie Chengze to take out all the vegetables and food in the space; it immediately piled up into a hill.


    Really¡­that¡¯s a lot!


    It was still early, so many people in the security base were still awake. When they came outside and saw such a mountain, they were also shocked!


    There is a mountain of vegetables here! It¡¯s really spectacular!


    In order to ensure food supply, the security base grows relatively few vegetables, but now there are so many here at once¡­Tomorrow everyone in the security base will be able to eat vegetables!


    The people in the security base suddenly felt like it was the new year, so they started thinking more.


    In the countryside near C City, people have the habit of growing sweet potatoes. If they ask someone to open a land and water it according to the situation, will they be able to harvest a lot of sweet potatoes? Sweet potato vines can also be used as vegetables!


    With Xie Chengze here, they don¡¯t have to be afraid that they won¡¯t be able to bring it back!


    Everyone was very happy, including Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    The two went back to the room to take a shower, then Xie Chengze stuck to Lu Yanzhou again: ¡°Do you not like me anymore?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°How could that be!¡±


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you do what husband and wife do with me?¡±


    ¡°Chengcheng, I¡¯ve been tired all day, let¡¯s go to bed early! We have to go out of the city to collect supplies tomorrow!¡± Lu Yanzhou coaxed him.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He pretended to be so hard, can¡¯t he eat a piece of meat?


    In the next few days, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were busy all the time, but their busyness was also useful ¨C they brought back a lot of food, and even caught some prey.


    So every day in the security base is like the new year, and everyone is very happy.


    After all, vegetables cannot be kept for a long time, so everyone has to eat them!


    However, a few days later, when Lu Yanzhou took people out of the city, he felt something was wrong after not walking for too far¡ªwhy did he feel that there were fewer zombies around?


    It¡¯s a good thing that there are fewer zombies around the security base, but¡­According to the original trajectory, before the zombie tide came, there were also less zombies around the security base!


    At that time, no one knew what happened, all the zombies in C city gathered together. There¡¯s a very strong zombie leader among these zombies, and then they attack C city¡¯s security base together.


    There are so many zombies, the number is several times the population of the security base, and there are also many powerful mutant zombies inside!


    C City¡¯s security base didn¡¯t even survive a day.


    However, didn¡¯t the zombie wave appear a few months later? Why are there signs now?!


    If there is such a strong wave of zombies now, can C City¡¯s security base stop it?


    Although his strength is stronger, among those zombies, there are also level 5 mutant zombies!


    ¡°There are a lot fewer zombies, it¡¯s very easy to come out this time! That¡¯s great!¡± Said someone.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression was serious: ¡°Let¡¯s go back quickly, I feel something is wrong, something might happen!¡±


    ¡°Boss?¡± Everyone was puzzled.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°My sixth sense is very accurate, let¡¯s go back!¡±


    According to the original owner¡¯s memory, it was almost a month after Zhou Jingshan¡¯s men left the security base, and then there were fewer zombies outside the security base.


    The original owner was still very proud at the time, wantonly bought people¡¯s hearts, and wanted to squeeze out District Chief Li to become the District Chief of the security base, but before he could succeed¡­the zombie tide came.


    Lu Yanzhou led his men back to the security base, and directly told District Chief Li that there might be a zombie tide.


    ¡°There are fewer zombies near the security base, it¡¯s very likely that they were gathered together by something¡­If there are a lot of zombies besieging the security base together, the security base may be in trouble!¡±


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± District Chief Li frowned.


    ¡°I can¡¯t be sure but it¡¯s better to be prepared than not to be prepared.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    No matter what, it¡¯s better to strengthen the security base. With a wave of his hand, District Chief Li gave Lu Yanzhou a lot of resources and asked Lu Yanzhou to be responsible for strengthening the security base.


    After getting the authority, Lu Yanzhou thought about it and directly issued an announcement to ordinary people, saying that they found zombies gathering and suspected that there would be a zombie tide attacking the security base, so that the people should be prepared.


    If they don¡¯t say anything, when the ordinary people suddenly find that the zombies are coming, they will definitely be very flustered. However, it will be different if they know it in advance.


    They will be prepared and when they see the zombies, everyone will be more rational.


    However¡­After the announcement, it¡¯s inevitable that people in the security base will panic.


    Fortunately, everyone didn¡¯t panic for too long ¨C Lu Yanzhou arranged a lot of jobs for the people in the security base.


    Such a large base, which can accommodate a hundred thousand people, needs to reinforce all the outer walls of the security base, and build another inner city wall!


    There are too many things to do so people have no time to panic. They only know how to keep their heads down.


    On this matter, Zhou Jingshan has deep resentment.


    Lu Yanzhou, that fool, let such a powerful fire ability user make iron!


    He also had to burn out steel that met the standard, and then let metal ability users make hot weapons.


    What the hell. He, a powerful fire ability user, should be killing zombies outside, why make him stay at home and burn iron every day?!


    After finally finishing his day¡¯s work, Zhou Jingshan turned to Gu Tan to complain: ¡°My people didn¡¯t find any zombies gathered at all. Lu Yanzhou is just using chicken feathers as arrows to fool people! He is just fighting for power and profit!¡±


    Gu Tan didn¡¯t bother to pay attention to him. She is too busy now, so she has no time to provide emotional support to Zhou Jingshan!


    She admitted that she agreed to Zhou Jingshan¡¯s confession before the apocalypse because she knew Zhou Jingshan¡¯s family background. After all, money can solve many problems, but when she realized that Zhou Jingshan¡¯s parents disagreed, she gave up this path.


    Now¡­the nurse she had found for her father before disappeared. It was a chaotic day and the nurse might have even been killed, so she wanted to find a nurse again¡­Because Lu Yanzhou formed a militia, she couldn¡¯t find a suitable one for a moment.


    Fortunately, her father didn¡¯t fall ill during this period of time. If he falls ill next time¡­Gu Tan pondered, She could ask an earth ability user to wrap her father up.


    In the past, ability users didn¡¯t like to do these things, and she couldn¡¯t think of it, but now everyone is more down-to-earth, so someone will definitely be willing.


    Alas, when her father was sick, he would not only hurt others, but also himself. He was hospitalized because of eating recklessly, so it was really troublesome to simply lock him up.


    Gu Tan was thinking about her own matter and didn¡¯t care about what Zhou Jingshan said.


    Zhou Jingshan: ¡°¡­¡± Gu Tan ignored him again, Gu Tan¡¯s family is really too troublesome! Gu Tan is still unwilling to spend money to let others take care of them all!


    No matter how aggrieved Zhou Jingshan was, he was still forced to make steel every day, and so his control over his ability¡¯s temperature became more proficient.


    Then, the entire security base was reinforced under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s supervision.


    No zombies came, on the contrary, there are fewer and fewer zombies near the security base!


    This made many people think that zombie tide would never come, and they also felt that Lu Yanzhou was messing around.


    Today, the leaders of the security base gathered for a meeting, and Zhou Jingshan said: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you recently made the excuse that the zombie tide is coming, how much power do you want to take from the security base? So, what about the zombie tide? It didn¡¯t come at all! I think you just want to take the opportunity to seize power!¡±


    After finishing speaking, Zhou Jingshan was a little proud.


    This is what someone told him, he feels that it was very right.


    Lu Yanzhou ignored him and only reported to District Chief Li what he had done now.


    Among other things, he has already discovered the extent of ability user¡¯s ability.


    Now the ability users in the safe zone are more capable than the other, let¡¯s just talk about Zhou Jingshan¡­


    If the apocalypse is over, Zhou Jingshan can open a steel factory by himself!


    Seeing this, Zhou Jingshan was a little annoyed: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, is it appropriate for you to keep fooling people like this? What about the zombie tide?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Coming soon!¡±


    Zhou Jingshan said: ¡°Oh, if they really come, I¡¯ll take your surname!¡±


    Just as he was talking, the wind ability user, Lu Yanzhou arranged to patrol outside the security base, came in a panic: ¡°District Chief, Team leader Lu, we found a large number of zombies. They are heading towards our security base!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s expression changed.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhou Jingshan: ¡°Lu Jingshan, let¡¯s go kill zombies together?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan: ¡°¡­¡±


    T/N: This is how one successful change their surname (£Þ£Þ)£â

 CH 121

    After the zombie tide was discovered, Lu Yanzhou immediately informed the public.


    Because it was said in advance that there might be a zombie tide coming, people were not too flustered and soon got busy in an orderly manner according to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s instructions.


    As for Lu Yanzhou, he brought a few of his subordinates and Zhou Jingshan to investigate the zombie tide¡¯s situation.


    They didn¡¯t get too close, they just took a look from a distance. They felt their scalps tingling.


    Over the years, C city¡¯s security base has been cleaning up the surrounding zombies, but millions of people turned into zombies back then, so even after cleaning up, there are still hundreds of thousands left.


    Hundreds of thousands of tattered zombies are rushing towards their security base like this. It¡¯s really scary to watch, and it¡¯s also very disgusting, making people want to vomit.


    Trypophobia is about to suffer!


    No, there may not be just a hundred thousands zombies here. The zombies were also moving, there may be a million or more here!


    How can they fight this?


    ¡°So many?¡± Zhou Jingshan broke out in cold sweat. His fire ability is very strong, but ability is not unlimited, it can be used up!


    Such a dense crowd of zombies¡­Zhou Jingshan felt that if he fell into that pile of zombies, he may never come out again.


    Lu Yanzhou also looked solemn.


    There should be a lot of mutated zombies here. There may be ones who are as strong as him, or even stronger than him?


    As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yanzhou saw hundreds of zombies rushing out from the group of zombies and attacking them. Judging by the speed and physical strength of these zombies¡­they are all mutant zombies, they are at least level three mutant zombies!


    ¡°Go back first!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. There¡¯s only a few of them, there is no need to go head-to-head with the zombie army now!


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, everyone ran to the security base together.


    They felt that their security base was already very strong, but now¡­can this security base be kept?


    When they finally came to the outer wall of the reinforced security base, Zhou Jingshan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s truly difficult for ordinary people to survive in the apocalypse.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°So you¡¯re scared and want to run?¡± Speaking of which, after the original owner saw the zombie tide, he felt that ordinary people really won¡¯t survive in the apocalypse and only those with ability could survive, so he ran away.


    Zhou Jingshan did back down a bit, but after hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, he immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m not a coward! Don¡¯t underestimate me! I will definitely kill more zombies than you!¡±


    ¡°Stop talking nonsense, quickly organize people to kill zombies!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Ordinary zombies aren¡¯t fast, but those mutated zombies move very fast, and they are now approaching the security base.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze who rushed over after seeing him, and softened his voice: ¡°Chengcheng, protect yourself and don¡¯t let zombies approach you¡­If you are afraid, go home first. I will come to you when I am done¡­¡­Well, remember, these zombies are very dirty, don¡¯t let them touch you.¡±


    During this period of time, Lu Yanzhou repeatedly told Xie Chengze not to touch zombies.


    Besides that, Lu Yanzhou has also made Xie Chengze exercise his abilities.


    Based on his understanding of Xie Chengze, in this battle, even if everyone else may not survive, Xie Chengze should not have any accidents. After all, Xie Chengze¡¯s teleportation is too good!


    Gu Tan is also a space ability user, but apart from her space, she only knows how to use the space blade, she can¡¯t teleport at all. What about Xie Chengze? Not only can he teleport, he also learned to use space blade during this time. His space blade is much more powerful than Gu Tan¡¯s space blade.


    However, Lu Yanzhou still didn¡¯t expect Xie Chengze to kill zombies.


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t understand anything!


    Lu Yanzhou led his subordinate to fight with those mutated zombies. He didn¡¯t charge up as the main force, but swarmed beside them. He would only help when the people on their side were in danger.


    This will also allow his subordinates to use their ability and also to save his ability.


    And his approach was correct, because soon, a new batch of mutated zombies appeared!


    If he hadn¡¯t stopped them, his subordinate might have been eaten alive.


    Fortunately, there are many ability users in their security base, so that all mutant zombies can be stopped!


    It¡¯s just that, as time goes by, it¡¯s not just the mutated zombies that come ¡ª a large army of zombies is coming!


    The dense army of zombies rushed under the city wall.


    Ordinary people have all been transferred to the inner city, and only the militiamen remain on the outer city and the city walls. At this time, the ability users deal with the mutated zombies while the militiamen deal with ordinary zombies.


    There are so many zombies, it¡¯s really scary to look at.


    In the original plot, the people in the security base were frightened by the zombie army, and because Lu Yanzhou ran away, they couldn¡¯t organize a defense line in the end.


    As for now¡­Even though Lu Yanzhou has made a lot of preparations in advance, there are too many zombies, so no one knows whether they can stop this wave of zombies.


    Xie Chengze, Gu Tan, District Chief Li and others stood together on a watchtower, surrounded by soldiers and ability users to protect them.


    District Chief Li and the others have rich combat experience but they are commanding the battle at this moment.


    A series of orders were sent out through their hands¡­


    There were no casualties on their side for the time being, but everyone still looked worried.


    District chief Li and several deputy district chiefs felt that it won¡¯t be easy for the security base to survive this time.


    ¡°Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou found something wrong in advance, otherwise the wall of the security base may have been washed down.¡±


    ¡°From the look of the current situation, we may not be able to stop it.¡±


    ¡°There are too many zombies. Zombies don¡¯t get tired but people get tired.¡±


    ¡°If the people on our side die, they will also become zombies¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze saw all of this.


    He kept staring at Lu Yanzhou in the distance.


    Lu Yanzhou was at the side at first, but now, there are many mutated zombies surrounding him.


    Lu Yanzhou had to fight against these zombies and protect the ability users on their side¡­Several times, he was almost caught and bitten by the zombies.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart became tighter and tighter.


    Gu Tan noticed that Xie Chengze, who was always very happy and smiling, now looked solemn. His whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of unmovable frost.


    She had been in contact with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s boyfriend before, and the behavior of the other party was a bit hard to describe ¡ª this man was very clingy to Lu Yanzhou. He also liked to show affection and make out with Lu Yanzhou in front of her.


    However, she had no ill feelings towards the man.


    This person is not very old at a glance, she doesn¡¯t really care about children, at most she thinks that Lu Yanzhou has a unique taste.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lu Yanzhou will be fine.¡± Gu Tan said to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze looked at Gu Tan.


    Gu Tan smiled at him, then got busy again. She is also the deputy chief of the security base. Before the apocalypse, she was a top senior student, and now she also has many things to be responsible for.


    Everyone is very busy. It seems that only he doesn¡¯t have to do anything.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s mood was complicated.


    He didn¡¯t know whether he should keep pretending, or¡­


    Xie Chengze had just thought about this when he saw a maverick mutated zombie jumping onto the city wall and began to attack an ordinary person ¡ª normally mutated zombies would attack ability users, after all, ability users¡¯ flesh and blood was far tempting to them than ordinary people!


    The mutated zombies also acted instinctively. Putting delicious food and plain white rice together side by side, they would naturally rush to the food, that is, the ability users.


    It¡¯s just that, no one knows what¡¯s going on with this mutated zombie, it actually attacks ordinary people¡­was it because it¡¯s low-level and just mutated?


    Xie Chengze directly killed the zombie with a space blade, and then he felt a sense of relief.


    He suffers a lot these days.


    Lu Yanzhou was very kind to him, but he would not get too intimate with him. As for him, he was worried every day, for fear that Lu Yanzhou would find out that something was wrong with him.


    He lied to Lu Yanzhou and he has done many things wrong. If he pretended not to understand anything at this time and did not participate in the battle and just watched Lu Yanzhou fight on the front line alone¡­he would hate himself.


    ¡°Your space blade is so powerful!¡± Gu Tan looked at Xie Chengze in surprise. Like many people, she regarded Xie Chengze as a vase, so she didn¡¯t expect Xie Chengze to be so strong.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Gu Tan, teleported to the city wall, and used the space blade to kill zombies.


    ¡°Brother Xie, why are you here? It¡¯s dangerous here! Get behind me, I¡¯ll protect you!¡± One of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates was a little surprised when he saw Xie Chengze, but he immediately reminded him, and then he saw Xie Chengze kill the zombie who had been fighting with him for a long time in one move.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinate: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s opinions and started killing zombies.


    While killing, he didn¡¯t look at Lu Yanzhou.


    He was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would dislike him if he saw him killing zombies with a space blade in his hand!


    Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t have such thought. In fact, seeing Xie Chengze killing zombies, Lu Yanzhou was a little surprised.


    He fought side by side with Xie Chengze more than once. On the battlefield, Xie Chengze was the person he trusted the most.


    Now Xie Chengze kills zombies so neatly¡­exactly as he remembered!


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have time to think about it and continued to fight.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t show his full fighting strength, so he looked like he was in danger when he fought.


    Because he had a bad feeling that something was staring at him.


    His mental force is very strong, this premonition won¡¯t be wrong¡­Just as he was thinking about it, a zombie suddenly jumped out from the group of ordinary zombies next to him and attacked Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou tensed up instantly, this zombie gave him a very powerful feeling!


    Wait¡­He knows this zombie. He is one of Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates! It was one of the people who escaped before!


    This person turned into a zombie? His strength is also about the same as him?!


    Could this zombie tide be related to those who escaped?


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly remembered one thing, that is, those who escaped used to experiment with zombies, and even did such stupid things as transplanting zombie crystal nuclei.


    Now¡­what the hell did they do? They actually made a zombie tide?


    The strength of this zombie is comparable to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s strength, but it¡¯s was more aggressive¡­


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s earth ability offense is not very good, and there are many other mutated zombies around him too. At this moment, Lu Yanzhou can only use his earth ability to surround himself to block all attacks.


    However, the earth ball that wrapped him was also beaten into a pile by that fifth-level zombie!


    ¡°Team leader Lu!¡± Many people exclaimed.


    Xie Chengze, who had been paying attention to Lu Yanzhou from the corner of his eye, didn¡¯t think about anything before he teleported to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s earth ball: ¡°Lu Yanzhou!¡±


    Before he could say anything more, the fifth-level zombie launched an attack on Xie Chengze!


    Xie Chengze dodged with his teleportation, then threw his space blade towards the zombie, however, it was useless. At this moment, Lu Yanzhou had already come out of the earth ball: ¡°Chengcheng, leave quickly!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou surrounded Xie Chengze with an earthen wall to prevent Xie Chengze from being injured by zombies, then told Xie Chengze to leave quickly.


    It¡¯s too dangerous here!


    However, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t leave. He kept attacking the surrounding zombies with his space blade.


    It¡¯s a pity that his space blade is only useful for mutated zombies below level 4, as for zombies level 4 and above, they are not afraid of it at all.


    A level four zombie came to him, trying to bite him!


    Xie Chengze subconsciously took the zombie into his space.


    It really works!


    Realizing this, Xie Chengze immediately took out all the things in his space and put them in the earthen wall that Lu Yanzhou surrounded him, then he jumped out and started to ¡®collect¡¯ the zombies.


    At the beginning, he could only store the things he touched into his space, but after Lu Yanzhou¡¯s training, he can already store all the things within a certain range around him!


    He can harvest food and vegetables, and so can zombies!


    As a result, Lu Yanzhou found that the zombies around him had suddenly disappeared, even the fifth-level zombie.


    He couldn¡¯t react for a moment, then he saw Xie Chengze rushing out, then all the zombies around Xie Chengze were also gone!


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°!!!¡± Why didn¡¯t he think of this! By the way, space ability is too good, right? !


    By the way, Xie Chengze is quite clean. He took out the things in his space before collecting those zombies. As for the thing he took out¡­that was the bed and table he used before!


    A bed suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which was weird.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to wrap it with an earthen wall, but saw an ID card on the table.


    Xu Ze?!

 CH 122

    Lu Yanzhou was stunned when he saw the ID card, but he didn¡¯t think much about it. He wrapped these things with his ability and went after Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s ability is only level four, but just now he sent a level five zombie into his space¡­His space will be fine, right?


    Moreover, although the intelligence of mutated zombies is not as good as humans, the higher their level, the more sensitive they become. They will look for more advantages and avoid disadvantages¡­Most importantly, some mutated zombies can use abilities.


    What if they attacked Xie Chengze with their abilities from a distance, and Xie Chengze was injured?


    Lu Yanzhou came to Xie Chengze¡¯s side and used his abilities to protect Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou. Normally, he would definitely act coquettishly, but now there are countless zombies rushing towards them¡­


    ¡°Chengcheng, you put that fifth-level zombie in just now¡­is your space okay?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Xie Chengze said. After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was not right.


    Speaking of which, Chengcheng would never rush into a pile of zombies like him!


    But if the security base is gone, or if Lu Yanzhou is injured, then everything will disappear too¡­


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to face Lu Yanzhou now, so just collected zombies.


    Previously when he saw Lu Yanzhou in danger¡­His ability level up!


    So even if there was a fifth level zombie in his space, the zombie couldn¡¯t escape his space.


    Since it can¡¯t escape, that guy can only stay in his space!


    Xie Chengze kept collecting zombies, collecting and collecting¡­his ability was exhausted.


    Things in this world are not always so beautiful¡­alas, his space still has more space but his ability is exhausted!


    Xie Chengze stopped his movements, looked at Lu Yanzhou, panting, and some other ability users who followed up.


    Everyone: They were guarding the city wall, but the zombies were gone, so they had to keep up. Because they couldn¡¯t run as fast as Xie Chengze, they watched all the zombies be taken away by Xie Chengze.


    They were all ready to disregard life and death, so now they were unable to react to this.


    ¡°Chengcheng, are you tired, do you want to take a break?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze was silent.


    What he did today was not what Chengcheng would normally do at all, but Lu Yanzhou wasn¡¯t surprised at all? Isn¡¯t he even a bit curious?


    Why did Lu Yanzhou still treat him with such an attitude?


    Xie Chengze suddenly remembered his previous guess ¨C he suspected that Lu Yanzhou knew that he was not Chengcheng, so he refused to touch him.


    The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this should be the truth¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s heart is getting colder and colder.


    Then, the army of zombies suddenly rushed towards them, and some mutated zombies even rushed out of them.


    Lu Yanzhou guessed that Xie Chengze¡¯s abilities were exhuasted, so he picked up Xie Chengze and ran away without saying a word, followed by the others.


    They came to the city wall and continued to fight the zombies relying on the city wall and the many hot weapons on it.


    Someone moved a stool for Xie Chengze to sit. Xie Chengze sat on the stool, looking at the soil bag among the zombies.


    In the soil bag were the things he took out from the space before.


    After thinking of using his space to hold the zombies, he took out all the things from his space because he didn¡¯t want to dirty the things Lu Yanzhou gave him.


    He didn¡¯t think much about it at the time, but now he remembered that when he was packing up, he put some documents and other things on the table.


    Did Lu Yanzhou see it just now?


    One must know that after awakening, ability user¡¯s physical fitness is greatly improved, so their hearing and eyesight are of course included.


    Thinking about it carefully, if Lu Yanzhou really wanted to investigate his past, it would be very easy to investigate. He lived in C City since he was a child, so not only his parents knew him.


    Even if Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t know his real name, Lu Yanzhou still knows his appearance, doesn¡¯t he?


    Getting along with Lu Yanzhou during this time, he had already discovered that Lu Yanzhou was very careful about his work. Since this is the case¡­Lu Yanzhou has probably already found out his identity and his previous split personality.


    He was keeping him now because he was waiting for Chengcheng to appear?


    Since he pretended to be Chengcheng before, has Lu Yanzhou always looked at him as a joke all this time?


    In the future, will Lu Yanzhou still treat him like before?


    When Lu Yanzhou knows that Chengcheng is gone, will he want to get rid of him?


    Xie Chengze¡¯s complexion became colder and colder.


    He had been pretending just for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s tenderness before, but now he can¡¯t pretend anymore.


    He should think of something that will make Lu Yanzhou unable to leave him.


    In fact¡­he is doing very well now.


    He is very strong, and there are a bunch of zombies in his space, he got the killer machine!


    From now on, will Lu Yanzhou¡­dare to treat him badly?


    Xie Chengze was suddenly enlightened. He stood up from his seat and started collecting zombies again.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was fighting, took time to look at Xie Chengze: ¡°Chengcheng, do you want to rest for a while?¡±


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°Call me AZe.¡±


    ¡°AZe, how is your ability recovery?¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Xie Chengze wearing a mask with a strong cold pressure lingering around him.


    Looking at Xie Chengze like this, he felt his heart beat faster.


    ¡°It¡¯s recovered a little bit.¡± After Xie Chengze finished speaking, he caught the mutated zombies and put them away.


    The mutated zombie that just came out not long ago disappeared again!


    Ordinary zombies are easy to kill. They can¡¯t even climb the city walls. Ordinary ability users and ordinary people can deal with them without any worry.


    Lu Yanzhou had almost exhuasted his abilities, so he stopped and walked towards Xie Chengze.


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou walking towards him, Xie Chengze felt a little nervous.


    They¡¯re still fighting now, so Lu Yanzhou probably won¡¯t confront him right now¡­but it¡¯s not guaranteed!


    Xie Chengze was about to remind Lu Yanzhou that there are a bunch of zombies in his space, which is the killer machine. However, Lu Yanzhou hugged him and Lu Yanzhou even kissed him.


    No, it¡¯s not a kiss, it¡¯s a deep kiss.


    Whether he was with Lu Yanzhou as Chengcheng or pretending to be Chengcheng, although he always kissed Lu Yanzhou, they always let go after one kiss. The two had never kissed deeply.


    Lu Yanzhou rarely even took the initiative to kiss him.


    Now Lu Yanzhou actually kissed him!


    After the kiss, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°AZe, you were so handsome just now!¡±


    Xie Chengze froze: ¡°¡­¡± This is not what he thought!


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t see Xie Chengze¡¯s face through the mask, so he said: ¡°Let¡¯s take a break, wait for our ability to recover a bit, then teleport me to the pile of zombies to find¡­I always feel that there is something hidden in these zombies .¡±


    Only then did Xie Chengze ask, ¡°Why did you suddenly kiss me?¡±


    ¡°If want to kiss, just kiss. I used to not understand why those people would kiss back and forth when they were excited when watching movies, but now I understand.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. Just now, he really wanted to kiss Xie Chengze!


    After speaking, Lu Yanzhou smiled at those who were looking at them.


    Both Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were standing on the city wall, and there were naturally many people who followed them. Everyone saw what Xie Chengze did before.


    At that time, everyone thought that Xie Chengze was too powerful! As expected of their brother Xie!


    Also, isn¡¯t Xie Chengze afraid when he sees zombies? Where are his fear? So, he was just playing before?


    The bigshot hobbies are really different!


    While thinking about it, they saw Lu Yanzhou kissing Xie Chengze.


    So¡­team leader Lu is the more powerful one! He can make brother Xie act like a spoiled child to him!


    District Chief Li, who had been very nervous before and felt uncomfortable in his heart, saw this scene and narrowed his eyes with a smile: ¡°Tsk tsk, young people nowadays!¡±


    Gu Tan: ¡°¡­¡± She actually went to comfort Xie Chengze before, telling Xie Chengze that Lu Yanzhou would be fine¡­he didn¡¯t need her comfort at all.


    Zhou Jingshan: ¡°¡­¡± What the hell is going on? Not long ago, he was still the number one expert in the security base. Lu Yanzhou and District Chief Li were very polite when they met him, but now¡­


    He has been busy for a long time today but he only killed a few zombies. When the battle is over, will he be called to make steel again?


    If Lu Yanzhou went too far, maybe he would be asked to make porcelain, glass, or even floor tiles?


    No, he will never burn floor tiles! At most, he will fire glass!


    Xie Chengze was actually also confused because after Lu Yanzhou smiled at others, he then pecked him on the mouth again, his eyes were full of love.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Even if Lu Yanzhou wanted to keep him steady, it would be good to do as before, he doesn¡¯t need to do this right?


    Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t want to just stabilize Xie Chengze. Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s behavior, he only thought that Xie Chengze had recovered from his illness long ago, so he was just playing in front of him.


    This is actually nothing, Xie Chengze may just want to act like a baby.


    As Xie Chengze¡¯s partner, of course he wants to satisfy Xie Chengze!


    As for the ID card named ¡®Xu Ze¡¯, it¡¯s fine, Xie Chengze probably just thought the name was not pleasant, or changed his name for some reason or something.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou also said: ¡°AZe, wait here for a while, I will go and get back the things you took out of the space before.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou has been fighting for a long time, so he is a little hungry!


    The things Xie Chengze took out from the space before contained food, so they could eat some after they brought them back.


    Thinking about it this way, Lu Yanzhou directly used his earth ability to build a platform higher than the city wall, and then built a small house with big windows on all sides on the platform.


    After they stay in this small house, they will be able to keep an eye on the zombies¡¯ situation!


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Okay. You can teleport there, so it will be faster!¡±


    Then, everyone saw Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze moving some furniture and some food into the small house.


    When Lu Yanzhou¡¯s subordinates saw the table and the bed, they thought of something: ¡°Isn¡¯t that the furniture used by boss?¡±


    ¡°Boss said he broke the furniture, so he needed to find a new one¡­So it wasn¡¯t broken, but Brother Xie put them into his space?¡±


    ¡°How long have they been together in secret?!¡±


    ¡­


    Of course, the most important thing is not this, the most important thing is¡­Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze put the dining table by the window of the small house and started eating!


    They also drink coke!


    Really too much! They are hungry too!


    Because there are no mutant zombies, everyone¡¯s pressure is greatly reduced, so they went to eat in batches.


    It¡¯s just that in the present situation, their food is simple but Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou are different!


    Xie Chengze even found a gas stove to cook canned braised pork!


    How inhumane!


    However, no one complained.


    Because¡­when there were mutant zombies again¡­they still relied on Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou to take away all the zombies.


    Xie Chengze is really cool!


    Xie Chengze, who was considered really cool by others, was still doubting his life at the moment.


    Lu Yanzhou actually touched him!


    Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou always a gentleman? Now he¡¯s so active that he can¡¯t sit still!


    Now Lu Yanzhou relies on how others can only see above their shoulder through the window to hold his hand, what does he mean by this?


    T/N: Lu Jingshan can really open a factory by himself (???)

 CH 123

    Lu Yanzhou simply wanted to get close to Xie Chengze.


    When getting along with Xie Chengze before, he always felt like he was molesting a child, but now that Xie Chengze has recovered from his illness, he no longer has this psychological barrier!


    What¡¯s more, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground!


    Previously, Lu Yanzhou was always worried that the zombie tide would destroy the security base, but now¡­this zombie tide doesn¡¯t seem so scary?


    Lu Yanzhou cooked some noodles with the alcohol stove, mixed with the braised pork broth, it tasted delicious.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± What happened to Lu Yanzhou? He showed his trace, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t react at all?


    Lu Yanzhou wants to pretend that there is no such thing? Does he want to continue to get along with him like before?


    Xie Chengze was tangled in his heart, but soon, he had no time to think about it anymore.


    Lu Yanzhou had almost recovered, so he asked Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, have your abilities recovered?¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t bother to pretend anymore: ¡°It¡¯s recovered.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go into the zombies to see if there¡¯s any powerful mutated zombies.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze directly agreed: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze, and immediately said: ¡°Come on, let¡¯s teleport together. Let¡¯s first go to the earth bag over there!¡±


    The two of them teleported together and came to the earth bag that Lu Yanzhou was pointing at.


    Those zombies originally were walking around the earth bag, but as soon as they appeared, they waved their hands to grab them!


    However, Lu Yanzhou blocked them with his abilities, then he made another earth bag not far away!


    The two teleported again and again, changing positions among the zombies. At the same time, Lu Yanzhou kept observing the surrounding situation.


    When they came to the rear of the huge army of zombies, Lu Yanzhou finally found that there was something wrong with one of the zombies.


    It was a shriveled and thin zombie, it should have been an old man before he died.


    It actually looked no different from an ordinary zombie, but when Lu Yanzhou saw him, alarms went off in his heart!


    The moment he saw this zombie, he dug out a fragment from the original owner¡¯s memory!


    Although the original owner escaped from the C City security base, he was torn to pieces by a group of mutated zombies before he escaped very far.


    Before the original owner died, he saw many mutated zombies, and behind those mutated zombies, there was an old zombie.


    Lu Yanzhou attacked the zombie almost without any hesitation.


    The old zombie dodged and looked at Lu Yanzhou. At the same time, all the zombies started to attack Lu Yanzhou frantically.


    There is definitely something wrong with this old zombie!


    Lu Yanzhou created a dirt bag beside the old zombie, and in the next second, Xie Chengze teleported him to the earth bag.


    It was at this time that Lu Yanzhou discovered that the strength of this old zombie was far superior to the fifth level zombie they encountered before.


    It¡¯s smarter but relatively more timid.


    For example, when Lu Yanzhou attacked it again and again, it would dodge and let other mutated zombies attack Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    Neither Lu Yanzhou nor Xie Chengze expected that there were so many mutated zombies hidden behind the zombie army!


    If Xie Chengze hadn¡¯t used his spatial ability to carry away a lot of zombies today¡­If this old zombie attacked them when they were exhausted, they would definitely be unable to stop them, and C City security base would not be guaranteed!


    The battle between the two sides was very fierce. After the people in the security base noticed it, they immediately arranged for some ability users to come help.


    The old zombie¡¯s strength is not bad but it¡¯s very timid. When it realized that something was wrong and wanted to run away.


    However, Xie Chengze¡¯s teleportation is really powerful, it can¡¯t escape!


    Seeing that the ability users from the security base were about to reach them¡­the old zombie gritted his teeth and launched an attack on Lu Yanzhou.


    It¡¯s a mental attack!


    The zombie¡¯s ability is mental, no wonder all the zombies listen to it!


    No wonder those zombies came to attack the city neatly!


    If this zombie¡¯s ability is something else, maybe it will cause some troubles to Lu Yanzhou, but since it¡¯s the mental¡­


    Even if he seals his strength, a zombie in the small world still can¡¯t control him with his mind!


    On the other hand, Lu Yanzhou directly suppressed the other party¡¯s mental force, and then the surrounding earth turned into a few boulders. Under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s control, they repeatedly smashed the zombie until it was smashed into a pulp.


    Zhou Jingshan rushed over with the other ability users, just in time to see this brutal scene.


    Zhou Jingshan touched his head subconsciously, his head¡­is not hard enough!


    Then, they looked at Xie Chengze again. They saw Xie Chengze put many zombies into his space again.


    This one is not easy to mess with either!


    Wait, if Xie Chengze put them into his space, would they have to face thousands of zombies?


    If Xie Chengze knew what these people were thinking, he would tell them that you are overthinking.


    Living things cannot be put into his space.


    As for the zombies¡­they¡¯re essentially dead!


    Putting another away, Xie Chengze was a little worried.


    His space is full¡­


    After he broke through to 5th level, his space became larger, but it¡¯s full now. There¡¯s no way to fit another zombie into it¡­


    Wait, although it¡¯s full, this space thing, if one squeezes it, there will be space!


    Xie Chengze used his ability to squeeze the zombies in the space, then he squeezed out an open space and took in some more zombies.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou had already obtained the crystal nucleus of the old zombie. He looked around and found that the huge group of zombies that had gathered together seemed to be scattered.


    These zombies have gotten rid of the control of the old zombies, so of course, they have become easier to deal with!


    What a joy!


    Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze, and other people in the security base worked together for a day and a night, then they finally dealt with the zombie army.


    However, Lu Yanzhou had already exhausted his ability and couldn¡¯t hold on anymore, so he told District Chief Li and was about to go back to sleep.


    District Chief Li said: ¡°Go to sleep quickly, have a good rest, rest thoroughly, and then come to meet me!¡±


    District Chief Li is an ordinary person. He can¡¯t last too long, so he went back to rest for a while in the middle, and he just came back from the rest, so he was looking radiant.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze went back to their residence together.


    The first thing they do when they get back is, of course, to take a shower.


    They have taken off their coats and thrown them outside. There is nothing dirty on their bodies, but the sweat all over their bodies stinks!


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°AZe, come and take a bath.¡±


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze raised his eyes to look at Lu Yanzhou.


    His heart was tense, waiting for the verdict from Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything at all.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t want to wait any longer, so he walked to the bathroom, wanting to take Lu Yanzhou to take a bath together.


    Then¡­before he reached out to pull Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou pulled him into the bathroom: ¡°Let¡¯s wash together!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± This should be what he did!


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze tried to kiss Lu Yanzhou.


    However¡­before he could make a move, Lu Yanzhou moved first.


    Lu Yanzhou blocked his mouth.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was actually very tired, but after going through the great battle, he wanted to do something now. His voice was low and pleasant: ¡°AZe¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze no longer has the mind to think about anything else.


    He felt that Lu Yanzhou was too good at talking nonsense.


    He used to say that he was very tired, so. he didn¡¯t want to do anything with him, but what¡¯s the matter now?


    No matter how tired he was then, it would be impossible to be as tired as today, right?!


    Why was he too tired to move before, but he is so energetic today?


    What Lu Yanzhou said before, he was just fooling him, right?!


    It¡¯s just that this development is different from what he thought!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t ask him anything, but then did what he always wanted to do?


    Xie Chengze almost broke down. That¡¯s not the point, the point is that Lu Yanzhou hugged him afterwards and fell asleep immediately.


    How could Lu Yanzhou still be able to sleep?!


    Xie Chengze was speechless. He really wanted to shake Lu Yanzhou awake and ask Lu Yanzhou to give him an explanation.


    However, Lu Yanzhou slept very soundly.


    Infected by Lu Yanzhou, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.


    When they woke up, they had slept for twelve hours.


    Xie Chengze was in a daze when he was woken up by Lu Yanzhou, and then he was kissed by Lu Yanzhou just after waking up.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± What¡¯s going on with Lu Yanzhou? Does he want Chengcheng to come out from exhaustion?


    He wanted to push Lu Yanzhou away, but Lu Yanzhou kept calling his name: ¡°AZe, AZe¡­¡±


    It took another two hours before Xie Chengze got up, feeling that something was wrong.


    He couldn¡¯t get it no matter how much he asked for it before, but now it was given to him suddenly that he was about to blow him up. He can¡¯t stand it.


    Xie Chengze sat on the bed in a daze. Lu Yanzhou had someone bring breakfast over, so then brought it to him at this moment: ¡°AZe, eat something first.¡±


    Seeing the breakfast, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you, you were not happy no matter how I took the initiative before, now¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I also want to ask you, have you recovered long ago? Why are you still acting like a fool?¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned: ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I said, why are you pretending to be a fool? I am too embarrassed to do anything to you.¡± Lu Yanzhou sighed.


    Xie Chengze felt that something was wrong, things seemed to be completely different from what he thought: ¡°My illness¡­¡±


    ¡°You were a little fool before, right? Are you sober now?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± By saying this, Lu Yanzhou clearly doesn¡¯t know that he has dual personalities!


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°I like your current appearance. Of course, your previous appearance was also very cute. I like it very much too.¡±


    Xie Chengze no longer knew what to say.


    So after Lu Yanzhou saw his action yesterday, he thought that he had a cognitive illness before, but now he is cured?


    What a mess!


    He thought that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t touch him because he was not ¡®Chengcheng¡¯, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t touch him because he was too ¡®honest¡¯?


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou remembered another thing: ¡°By the way, isn¡¯t your name Xie Chengze? Why is Xu Ze on your ID card?¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± It seems that Lu Yanzhou has never checked him.


    What happened to Lu Yanzhou? He didn¡¯t play cards according to common sense at all. He didn¡¯t know how to deal with it!


    ¡°My name used to be Xie Chengze, but after my mother remarried, I changed my name.¡± Xie Chengze explained.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the case.¡± Lu Yanzhou nodded.


    The current Xie Chengze is easy to talk to and has a clear mind¡­Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°AZe, where did you live before? Why did you only come to see me at night? And your stubborn big brother¡­Do you want to pick him up? You are qualified to apply for a very good house. That house can be given to live to stay.¡±


    The corner of Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth twitched. He grabbed Lu Yanzhou and bit Lu Yanzhou¡¯s neck: ¡°You are the stubborn one!¡±


    Don¡¯t think he doesn¡¯t know, Lu Yanzhou has a problem with his ¡®big brother¡¯!


    T/N: Honest/sincere/true is Cheng.

 CH 124

    Xie Chengze has been testing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s opinion on Chengcheng¡¯s ¡®big brother¡¯ these days.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say a single bad word, but Xie Chengze could tell that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like Chengcheng¡¯s ¡®big brother¡¯ very much.


    Thinking about it, at the beginning, Lu Yanzhou kept writing him letters, wanting to talk with him, but he kept ignoring him¡­It¡¯s impossible for Lu Yanzhou to have a good impression of him.


    He could see whenever Lu Yanzhou mentioned Chengcheng¡¯s ¡®big brother¡¯, he was still a little bitter.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Yanzhou made a go for it, a little baffled: ¡°Isn¡¯t I¡¯m right? Your big brother is a bit stubborn. You see, he doesn¡¯t want the food I gave him and he also doesn¡¯t want the furniture you take back for him¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a big brother at all.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback.


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°It was actually me who wrote you the letter before!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt something was wrong.


    Xie Chengze originally wanted to hide it for a while, but what he experienced the past two days made him realize that Lu Yanzhou was completely different from what he imagined, so he simply stopped hiding.


    It¡¯s annoying to have things on your mind all day long!


    The most important thing is¡­Lu Yanzhou just wiped him out, how could he still break up with him?


    If Lu Yanzhou really dared to break up, he would release the zombies to die with him!


    Well, the zombies in his space can¡¯t kill him and Lu Yanzhou anymore, and now he just¡­somehow feels that he can trust Lu Yanzhou.


    In this apocalypse, if there is someone who can make him be honest to them, it would be really great.


    Xie Chengze lay down on the bed and said straightforwardly: ¡°I had a dual personality before. It was me during the day and Chengcheng at night. Chengcheng called me big brother.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± So the brother-in-law he always thought was actually Xie Chengze? Fortunately, he didn¡¯t say that his brother-in-law was bad in front of Xie Chengze!


    No wonder Xie Chengze wanted to bite him.


    Wait, Xie Chengze pretended to be a fool before and also pretended to be Chengcheng, did he think he liked Chengcheng?


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou remained silent, Xie Chengze said, ¡°Now Chengcheng has disappeared. There¡¯s only me left!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said at this moment: ¡°Isn¡¯t Chengcheng you? How did you disappear?¡±


    As far as Xie Chengze¡¯s action a few days ago, he was clearly Chengcheng¡­therefore, isn¡¯t Xie Chengze¡¯s inner core actually Chengcheng?


    It¡¯s not surprising¡­Xie Chengze was a little too innocent in the previous worlds and he also liked to act like a baby.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to answer like this, he frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled and kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s brow: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I really didn¡¯t mean to say that you are stubborn. I thought about how Chengcheng¡¯s big brother refused to eat what I gave, that¡¯s why I think¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze finally couldn¡¯t help asking Lu Yanzhou: ¡°What do you like about me?¡± He had always thought that Lu Yanzhou liked Chengcheng¡¯s simplicity.


    In an environment like the apocalypse, who wouldn¡¯t want a cutie who is not bad and also acts like a baby?


    However, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s reaction is not right!


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Soul.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou speechlessly¡ªwho would believe such nonsense!


    Lu Yanzhou also knew that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t believe it, so he could only say: ¡°I fell in love with you at first sight, I only like you. This matter, the sun and moon in heaven can prove it.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re just looking at the appearance!¡± Xie Chengze snorted coldly. Isn¡¯t it the face that one sees when they meet for the first time?


    ¡°What about you?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze: ¡°What do you like about me?¡±


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t say anything for a moment.


    To say that he likes Lu Yanzhou¡¯s kindness¡­It¡¯s really not that.


    When he first saw Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face with his own eyes, he¡­just fell in love.


    So¡­they¡¯re the same?


    Xie Chengze was a little dazed, then he heard Lu Yanzhou say: ¡°Actually, I have seen you in my dream before, and I suspect that we were a couple in my previous life! When you appeared in front of me that day, I felt that the partner in my dream had come alive¡­Of course I didn¡¯t want to do anything to you. At that time, I just wanted to raise you well¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know why he believed it, so he asked: ¡°What about now?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I always wanted to do what you wanted to do with me before. When you pretend to be Chengcheng, don¡¯t you always hate that I don¡¯t touch you?¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face turned dark when he thought of all the things he had done before.


    Lu Yanzhou now knows that he pretended before. Those are black history!


    What in the world did he do at that time!


    Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, no matter what you look like, I like you. You can do whatever you want in the future, as long as you are safe and sound.¡±


    Xie Chengze only felt that his heart relaxed in an instant.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze rested for a while before going out to check the situation.


    The security base has been safe, not only that, but the people in the security base now feel a great sense of security and are in high spirits.


    They surrounded the militiamen who had participated in the battle, and made the militiamen tell them about the battle.


    ¡°I went up the city wall that day! At first I saw so many zombies, I thought I was going to die, but then those zombies were all taken away by Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°Team leader Lu and the others are also powerful, those ability users are too strong!¡±


    ¡°Yes! Those ability users are very strong!¡±


    ¡°What about those zombies? Come ten thousand and we¡¯ll kill ten thousand, one million, and we¡¯ll kill one million!¡±


    ¡­


    These militiamen all talk very big!


    Although the zombie tide disappeared, who knew if there would be another zombie tide in the future, so these militiamen still had to continue training. He wanted to see if they could survive the next training.


    Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze.


    The zombies in Xie Chengze¡¯s space must be disposed of, so let¡¯s use them for the militiamen and the ability users in the safe zone to train!


    Lu Yanzhou went to District Chief Li.


    At the moment, there are many people from District Chief Li¡¯s side. Seeing them, everyone is very enthusiastic, um, except Zhou Jingshan.


    Zhou Jingshan has been trying to reduce his sense of existence¡­


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, it was thanks to you and Xie Chengze this time. If it weren¡¯t for you, the security base would be in danger!¡± District Chief Li said, looking at Xie Chengze while speaking.


    In fact, this time, Xie Chengze made the biggest contribution.


    Although District Chief Li had a good impression of Xie Chengze because of his strong abilities and bringing back a lot of supplies to the security base, he still couldn¡¯t stand Xie Chengze¡¯s character.


    He is obviously a big man, but he is very sticky, which makes District Chief Li, who was born in the army, didn¡¯t like him much.


    However, Xie Chengze killed zombies so cleanly the day before yesterday¡­he¡¯s completely different from his previous impression.


    Don¡¯t talk about the day before yesterday, just talk about today. The current Xie Chengze looks like an ordinary, normal man.


    Well, much more indifferent than ordinary people, but completely different from before.


    ¡°It¡¯s what we should do!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    After the conversation, District Chief Li talked about the next arrangement for the security base. He directly stated that he wanted Lu Yanzhou to be the security base¡¯s district chief.


    After repelling the zombie tide this time, Lu Yanzhou has become the veritable number one person in the security base.


    Most of the ability users in the security base are now following Lu Yanzhou¡¯s lead!


    As for ordinary people¡­the strength of ordinary people is not enough in front of ability users.


    After discussing with the others, District Chief Li planned to give up his position as soon as possible.


    He thinks that Lu Yanzhou should be very happy, after all, Lu Yanzhou has always wanted to be the head of the security base.


    However, Lu Yanzhou refused.


    Being a district chief needs to take care of so many things, how tiring it is! Lu Yanzhou felt that it was better to live freely like now for him.


    Just let District Chief Li take care of the chores in the security base!


    District Chief Li and others: ¡°¡­¡± What happened to Lu Yanzhou? He obviously wanted to be the security base¡¯s district chief before!


    Well, the current Lu Yanzhou¡­it¡¯s no difference whether he is the district chief or not.


    After Lu Yanzhou rejected the tedious job, he inquired about the situation of the zombie tide.


    Regarding this, the security base has really come to a conclusion.


    Before they destroyed the laboratory, they had already discovered that the experiments done by those people were not quite right. Among the zombies that invaded this time, many mutated zombies were actually those ability users who escaped from the security base.


    After those people escaped from the security base, they should have done something to trigger the zombie tide.


    ¡°Now there are no zombies near C city¡¯s security base, but this time there will be 6th level zombies, and maybe stronger zombies will appear in the future¡­We must improve our strength¡­¡± District Chief Li talk about his thoughts.


    After District Chief Li finished speaking, Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°I also want to talk about this! Now there are many zombies in my AZe space. They can be used as sparring partners for ability users and ordinary people in the security base!¡±


    ¡°Good idea!¡± District Chief Li said.


    As a result, those militiamen who had been bragging for two days learned that the security nase would use zombies as their opponents.


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± Although they think killing zombies is cool, they don¡¯t really want to kill them¡­


    Zombies are so scary and dangerous¡­


    However, they have been bragging before, and now they have to train¡­


    Ahem, there are ability users watching them, so they should be fine?


    Everyone was gathered together for training.


    They are all ordinary people, so they are naturally using ordinary zombies for training. Xie Chengze released an ordinary zombie from his space with a wave of his hand.


    Wait, something is wrong with this zombie¡­why is it whole body folded in half?


    Its waist is folded back and its head touches its heels!


    Because of this, after the zombie fell on the ground, it still couldn¡¯t get up¡­


    Xie Chengze stared at the zombie for a moment, then said coldly: ¡°Sorry, the space is a bit crowded, this zombie was squeezed¡­I¡¯ll change it.¡±


    He released another zombie. This zombie¡¯s leg was broken and its neck was squeezed into its body.


    Xie Chengze released another one without hesitation!


    The spine of this zombie is broken into several pieces!


    Then another zombie with its head squeezed and its hands squeezed was thrown out.


    Those ordinary people who were scared at first: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little thankful that he was still wearing the mask: ¡°There wasn¡¯t enough space, so I squeezed them¡­¡±


    ¡°Your space is now a can of sardines¡­oh no, a can of zombies, right?¡± Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± It seems so.


    He really didn¡¯t mean to!


    T/N: 2 more extras (????)

 CH 125

    Since the end of the zombie tide, Xie Chengze has become a man of the hour in the security base. No matter where he goes, someone will respectfully call him ¡®Brother Xie¡¯.


    He has a space filled with zombies, a character who can squeeze powerful mutant zombies into meatloaf!


    Xie Chengze had already appeared in the security base before the zombie tide came, but not many people had seen him at that time. The only people who had been with him at close range were the high-level executives in the security base, as well as Lu Yanzhou¡¯s confidantes.


    Therefore, in ordinary people¡¯s eyes in the security base, Xie Chengze is a powerful and indifferent boss.


    This boss seems to be reluctant to get along with others, and he has always worn a mask!


    Of course, they also heard that this boss and Lu Yanzhou are a couple.


    Therefore, when Xie Chengze explained his identity to Lu Yanzhou and took Lu Yanzhou to see where he lived before, he heard someone talking about himself and Lu Yanzhou when he teleported there.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Lu Yanzhou likes Deputy District Chief Gu? Why are you saying that he and Xie Chengze are a couple now?¡±


    ¡°The matter between Lu Yanzhou and Deputy District Chief Gu may have been mistaken. As for Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡­they are the strongest in our security base, they are a good match.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re a match, but I haven¡¯t heard before that Lu Yanzhou likes men. Could it be because he was forced?¡±


    ¡°Team leader Lu is so powerful, who can force him?¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze was speechless for a moment.


    He wanted to say that he didn¡¯t force Lu Yanzhou, but come to think of it¡­it was true.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou kissed him: ¡°We will go out more in the future, so others won¡¯t misunderstand, or should I tell people that I forced you?¡±


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help laughing, lost his temper immediately, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see my mother.¡±


    After he ¡®disappeared¡¯, the place where he lived was arranged for someone else to live in, so there is nothing to see here now.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, then glanced at the house he built.


    He seemed to know why Xie Chengze came to look for him as soon as he came.


    Xie Chengze must have seen him that day!


    Xie Chengze took Lu Yanzhou, teleported to his mother¡¯s residence, then knocked on the door.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s name is now known to everyone in the security base, so his mother has naturally heard of it. She often pondered whether it¡¯s possible that he is her son.


    Now when she opened the door and saw Xie Chengze, who wore a mask, and Lu Yanzhou, she immediately confirmed it.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t say anything more to her, but negotiated with her about a monthly support of 2,000 contribution points ¡ª from now on, he will give 2,000 contribution points to his mother every month.


    He had no money before and his mother had a job, so he didn¡¯t give her any contribution points, but now he has several million contribution points in his card, so naturally he doesn¡¯t mind giving some to his mother.


    After the negotiation was settled, Xie Chengze left without saying anything more to them.


    Based on what he knew about his mother and stepfather, they probably wouldn¡¯t come to him. They really care about saving face, so they can¡¯t really do such annoying behavior.


    When they returned to their residence, Xie Chengze took off his mask and looked at himself in the mirror.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I won¡¯t wear a mask tomorrow.¡± Now there are rumors in the security base that he is ugly¡­


    He was wearing a mask because he was afraid of meeting acquaintances and making Lu Yanzhou guess his identity. Now that Lu Yanzhou already knew about him, why was he still wearing a mask?


    However, he doesn¡¯t intend to let people know that he is actually ¡®Xu Ze¡¯¡­When he was Xu Ze in the past, his social relationship was very simple. Before the apocalypse, because of his illness, he tried hard to hide himself so he almost had no sense of existence¡­


    He can completely live as ¡®Xie Chengze¡¯. He believe that no one will associate him with Xu Ze except his family.


    And his family¡­they won¡¯t tell.


    ¡°Okay, when the time comes, people in the security base will definitely envy me for having such a handsome partner.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, then raised the corners of his mouth: ¡°I want everyone in the security base to know that you are mine!¡±


    Early the next morning, Canteen No. 1.


    Zhou Jingshan was eating with some of his subordinates.


    Recently, many of his subordinates defected to the enemy and ran to follow Lu Yanzhou, so his subordinates became fewer and fewer, which made him dare not be so high profile, for fear that after Lu Yanzhou noticed, Lu Yanzhou would come up with some means to deal with him.


    It¡¯s really not easy for him!


    ¡°Have you found out? Where did that Xie Chengze come from, so ferocious?¡± Zhou Jingshan whispered to his subordinates, ¡°you saw all those zombies he took out of his space, right? One by one, all of them almost turn into paste¡­¡±


    ¡°Boss, we didn¡¯t find out anything ¡­Xie Chengze wears a mask all day, we don¡¯t know what he looks like.¡±


    ¡°A big man who wears a mask all day and looks mysterious. I think he is probably ugly.¡± Zhou Jingshan showed disdain, looking down on Xie Chengze, but at the same time, he lowered his voice a little.


    His voice is also very sincere.


    Zhou Jingshan is not a handsome guy, but he has a good family background. He also dresses well and has a good temperament, and his strong strength makes people put on filters when looking at him¡­In the security base, he is recognized as a handsome guy.


    At most, he¡¯s a little worse than Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Boss, I think so too,¡± Zhou Jingshan¡¯s subordinates said in a softer voice, ¡°otherwise why would he be wearing a mask!¡±


    While the two were talking, they saw Lu Yanzhou coming in from the outside with a handsome guy with a cold demeanor.


    Zhou Jingshan was stunned for a moment: ¡°Fuck! Lu Yanzhou has moved on again?¡±


    He was dumbfounded when he said this. Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze looked at him together.


    Lu Yanzhou was a little speechless: ¡°Lu Jingshan, brother Xie didn¡¯t wear a mask, so you don¡¯t know him?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan: ¡°¡­¡± Please don¡¯t mention the name ¡®Lu Jingshan¡¯! And, this handsome guy is Xie Chengze?!


    The others in the cafeteria were also shocked.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance, combined with his previous appearance¡­This is a handsome guy with great strength and also very sweet!


    They suddenly understood why Lu Yanzhou was bent.


    ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t expect Brother Xie to be so handsome! You are so lucky, how did you know Brother Xie?¡± Someone asked curiously.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I met him by accident. I fell in love with him at first sight, it took me a long time to successfully chase him.¡±


    ¡°Then boss, when you told us that you have someone you like¡­¡±


    ¡°I hadn¡¯t caught him at that time.¡± Lu Yanzhou giving Xie Chengze enough face while outside.


    ¡°A handsome guy like Brother Xie is definitely not easy to chase! Boss, you are so lucky!¡± After the man finished speaking, he couldn¡¯t help but look at Xie Chengze again.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s previous behavior was actually a bit naive. They still remembered that Xie Chengze had to hide behind their boss when he saw zombies.


    How did he become so powerful when the zombie tide came? He make them feel a little overwhelmed!


    Xie Chengze also knew what they were curious about, so he instantly softened his brows and eyes and said sweetly to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Brother Yanzhou, I want to eat wontons today.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡± Lu Yanzhou immediately said.


    Xie Chengze looked cold before, so no one dared to talk to him, but now that he is like this¡­someone asked: ¡°Brother Xie, you have changed so much!¡±


    Xie Chengze lied without changing his face: ¡°I¡¯m from the Academy of Film and Television.¡± He had to find a reason for his previous pretending to be Chengcheng.


    Everyone didn¡¯t doubt at all: ¡°So that¡¯s it!¡± They were wondering why Xie Chengze was very handsome, so he was from the Academy of Film and Television!


    ¡°Brother Xie, did you pretend to be like that before?¡± Someone asked.


    Xie Chengze answered calmly: ¡°Mm, Lu Yanzhou likes it.¡±


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± Their boss, it turns out that he really likes that!


    Their boss can actually make brother Xie act like that, that¡¯s amazing!


    So when Lu Yanzhou came back with wontons, everyone looked at him with admiration.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± What¡¯s the matter?


    After Xie Chengze stopped acting as Chengcheng and showed his real face again, he got along well in the security base.


    He had lived at the bottom and knew how difficult the life of the people at the bottom of the security base was, so he proposed many ways to improve it.


    Of course, he is best known for the zombies in his space.


    As one of the chief instructors of the militia, he would take out many crooked zombies from his space every day and let the militiamen chop them up.


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± Well, how long has it been since they saw a complete zombie?


    It¡¯s really not easy for them. It¡¯s okay to cut down such an ugly zombie every day, but they also have to watch the two chief instructors show their love.


    Seeing the cold Instructor Xie actually called Instructor Lu ¡®Brother Yanzhou¡¯¡­When they heard it for the first time, they almost had a heart attack!


    It¡¯s said that it¡¯s because Instructor Lu likes this¡­they really couldn¡¯t tell. Instructor Lu, who looks like a gentleman, likes this.


    Well, they like that too¡­


    The development of the security base was soon back on track.


    Because all the zombies in C city were gone, the security base expanded a lot. A lot of farmland was opened up that in the end, there was actually a shortage of manpower.


    The people in the security base also have no worries about food and clothing.


    As time went by, there were fewer and fewer zombies in Xie Chengze¡¯s space, so he became more and more sure of one thing ¨C Lu Yanzhou really like him.


    If Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t like him, he wouldn¡¯t be so kind to him, let alone¡­urging him to sleep every day.


    It was getting dark again, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I¡¯ve done so much work today, I¡¯m very tired!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°You can lie still.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    The life of the people in the C city¡¯s security base is getting better and better, but it¡¯s different in other places.


    After C city¡¯s security base stabilized, Lu Yanzhou planned to take Xie Chengze and a few of his subordinates to look around.


    However, before they set off, the watcher at the observation post they built around C City saw people coming towards their security base, and behind them were many zombies.


    The watcher is a wind ability user, he was quite excited when he reported: ¡°It seems that there are quite a lot of zombies coming, at most ten thousands. They can¡¯t fit in brother Xie¡¯s space! By the way, they are all complete! Sigh, I haven¡¯t seen a complete zombie for a long time.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    T/N: imagine chopping down almost paste-like zombies everyday with your instructors throwing dog food all day long¡­(???)


    C City¡¯s security base people:


    First thought when seeing thousands zombies: more training zombies into brother Xie space!


    Second thought: it¡¯s a complete zombie!


    They are well train (mentally and physically) (???)

 CH 126

    The survivors in the safe zone of T city are fleeing for their lives.


    T City is located near C City , and it¡¯s also a large city with a large population. After the apocalypse, a security base with a population of 200,000 was established.


    Although there are inevitably various problems in T City¡¯s security base due to insufficient resources, the security base still provided shelter for many people a month ago.


    However, in the past month, something went wrong in the security base!


    There are powerful mutated zombies sneaking into the security base, secretly catching and eating ability users.


    T City¡¯s security base lost many ability users, but the culprit still couldn¡¯t be caught. With that desperation, more and more mutated zombies sneaked in secretly.


    At that time, all the ability users lived together and defended against the enemy together, but then those mutated zombies attacked ordinary people¡­


    This repeated repeatedly. T city¡¯s security base actually lost 20,000 to 30,000 people. The security base seems to have become the zombies¡¯ diner plate.


    10,000 people couldn¡¯t stand it, so they plan to escape from the security base.


    However, when they escaped, they not only failed to escape, but instead became food for the zombies, which strengthened the group of zombies and made more and more zombies outside the security base.


    There was no food in T City¡¯s security base, and now this kind of thing happened¡­The leader of the security base gritted his teeth and decided to take everyone in the security base to relocate.


    They left the security base and ran towards C City.


    As far as they know, there is an army in C City, which might give them a way out!


    ¡°District Chief, there is no more food.¡± Someone came to report to District Chief Wang in T City¡¯s security base.


    District Chief Wang himself is a lightning ability user with strong combat power, but he can¡¯t make food: ¡°Please bear with me, in front is C City¡¯s security base!¡±


    ¡°District Chief, gasoline and diesel are not enough, many cars can¡¯t be driven¡­¡±


    ¡°Leave the car with no gas behind, let the children go to other cars, and the rest of them will walk first¡­Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re reaching C city security base soon!¡± District Chief Wang said again.


    District Chief Wang repeatedly mentioned C city security base, but he actually didn¡¯t have much hope for C city security base.


    In this world¡­it¡¯s impossible for C city¡¯s security base to accommodate so many of them, right?


    And there must be zombies over there¡­


    What he said was just to make his subordinates look forward to plum blossoms and quench their thirst.


    The people under District Chief Wang also know what¡¯s going on, but it¡¯s better to have hope than no hope¡­


    Everyone continued to move forward, and at the same time, they were a little fortunate ¡ª ordinary zombies couldn¡¯t keep up with their speed, and those mutated zombies, although they always came to catch people and eat them, they had limited food, so they wouldn¡¯t be able to kill them all in a while.


    However, people around them died one by one, which made people suffer even more.


    District Chief Wang took out a pack of cigarettes and smoked one. He felt as if his heart was blocked, he almost felt nauseous.


    However, at this moment, the wind ability user he sent to investigate came back: ¡°District Chief, something is wrong ahead!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± District Chief Wang¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    The man said: ¡°District Chief, there are no zombies ahead, all the roads are smooth¡­¡±


    This is a good thing! But something is wrong!


    District Chief Wang was still wondering when he saw a scooter driving towards them like lightning.


    A big man was sitting on the lightweight scooter. When he saw them, he asked, ¡°Where did you come from? What happened to you?¡±


    District Chief Wang noticed that the reason why the scooter could drive so fast was because this big man used a wind ability: ¡°We are from T City¡¯s security base. Something happened to our security base, so we escaped.¡±


    District Chief Wang was a little worried that this big man would drive them away.


    They have so many mouths to eat, and there are a group of zombies behind them, which is undoubtedly a huge trouble.


    C city¡¯s security base definitely doesn¡¯t want to accept such a big trouble.


    But now, in order for the people in the security base to survive, he has to thicken his face to stay!


    ¡°That¡¯s it. Don¡¯t worry, our people will come soon, and they will definitely kill all the zombies behind you!¡± said the wind ability user.


    They used to train with disabled zombies before, but now they can finally train with complete zombies!


    District Chief Wang felt that this big man was a little too optimistic. No matter what, C city¡¯s security base could not welcome so many people who have to eat and¡­the zombies behind them.


    However, the big man started to lead the way: ¡°Follow me! Go at full speed! Go to the spacious place ahead!¡±


    The scooter drove out again and District Chief Wang hurriedly asked people to follow.


    Then, not long after he followed, he saw something wrong with what the people under him said before ¨C isn¡¯t the road in front of him too smooth?


    Even if the road is level, the two sides of the road¡­If he saw it correctly, are they planted crops?


    Could it be that they have already entered C city¡¯s security base? But this is wrong, none of them saw the city wall!


    District Chief Wang was dumbfounded, and the people under District Chief Wang were also very confused at the moment.


    Along the way, all they saw were dilapidated places, full of zombies, but now such a flat and clean place suddenly appeared¡­They suspected that they had seen it wrong.


    But they were also a little excited ¨C District Chief Wang didn¡¯t lie to them, they had reached C city¡¯s security base!


    They should be safe and live a good life now?


    Everyone is looking forward to the future.


    They hurried on their way. After walking for a while, they came to a huge square, and a scooter troop approached them.


    Gasoline is too precious, and now the roads are smooth, so C city security base doesn¡¯t use cars, but a batch of small electric scooters have been modified to increase their speed and used for transportation.


    The security base electricity is also lacking, but there was solar power generation, which is renewable at any rate.


    Now¡­with wind power generation and thermal power generation¡­The electricity in their safe area is no longer so short!


    As for where the wind power and thermal power come from¡­Isn¡¯t there ability users with these abilities?


    Zhou Jingshan: I am a powerful fire ability user, why should I be in charge of generating electricity?!


    When District Chief Wang saw this small scooter unit, he was very excited. He didn¡¯t expect that someone would actually come to help them in C city¡¯s security base!


    Too loyal to humans!


    At this time, the small scooter team stopped, and the leader looked at District Chief Wang and the others: ¡°Stop and take a rest, eat something first. I can see that you are very tired.¡±


    The group of people in T city¡¯s security base seemed to have reached their limit, as if they would fall down at any time.


    They are also very, very thin, and it could be seen that they are all malnourished.


    District Chief Wang said: ¡°There are zombies following us!¡±


    They didn¡¯t dare to stop along the way. Once they stopped, they would be overtaken by a huge number of zombies!


    Someone in the small scooter team immediately said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Xie and Team leader Lu have already gone there, the zombies behind you are nothing.¡±


    District Chief Wang felt that these people were too boastful.


    With so many zombies, how are they nothing? What¡¯s more¡­ ¡°Behind us, there are thousands of mutated zombies¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh.¡± These people were very calm.


    District Chief Wang: ¡°¡­¡± What happened to the people in C city¡¯s security base? Thousands of mutated zombies! They didn¡¯t take it seriously!


    District Chief Wang was thinking about this, when he saw a high earth wall suddenly erected behind the team he led.


    He froze for a moment, then took out his binoculars and looked, only to find that the earth wall separated their team from the zombies, not only that, two people suddenly appeared on the earth wall.


    What do these two plan to do? Do the two of them really plan to fight so many zombies alone?


    They are not crazy, are they?


    Of course they are not crazy.


    In order to save people as soon as possible, Xie Chengze had already emptied his space before he came, and now after seeing those zombies¡­he put those zombies into his space under Lu Yanzhou protection.


    The mutated zombies that can run around pretend to be ordinary zombies at first¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s movements are extremely skilled.


    After all, hundreds of thousands of zombies have already been taken, so this few ten thousand is trivial.


    Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou actually came for a while now. After they arrived, they went behind the team, capturing all the zombies that ran into the team and wreaked havoc. After capturing, Lu Yanzhou built an earthen wall to isolate the zombies behind.


    District Chief Wang has always been in front and the line is too long, so he doesn¡¯t know.


    At this moment, the people in the rear were so excited, they all looked at the two excitedly: ¡°They are too strong!¡±


    ¡°Who are they?¡±


    ¡°Did God come to save us?¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t have to die?¡±


    ¡­


    People in T City¡¯ security base began to set up camp, waiting for the result, and at this time, Gu Tan and Zhou Jingshan also came.


    Considering that these people in T city¡¯s security base might not have anything to eat, Gu Tan brought some food here.


    Looking at it now¡­these people must have not had enough to eat for a long time!


    Gu Tan immediately said to the people around him: ¡°Get ready to cook!¡±


    As soon as Gu Tan finished speaking, a metal ability user took out a few cauldrons and a water ability user filled them with water, and then Zhou Jingshan set them on fire¡­


    When the water boils, they throw in the potatoes with skins on them. Then the wind ability user chops up the potatoes with a wind blade and boils them over high heat. Soon, the aroma of the potatoes permeates.


    The people from T City¡¯s security base couldn¡¯t help but swallow their saliva. They were also a little dazed¡ªisn¡¯t these ability users too proficient in cooking?


    However, it¡¯s really delicious!


    Gu Tan invited people from T City¡¯s security base to come to her to register, and also asked people with earth ability to build some houses ¨C all registered people had to take a hot bath inside and change into clean clothes .


    As for how to get the hot water¡­There are ability users, how could there¡¯s no hot water?


    District Chief Wang was the first to take a hot bath. When he came out of the bathroom, he was still in a daze.


    The house built by the earth ability user is really exquisite, it even has a sewer!


    By the way, after the construction was completed, some fire ability users also roasted it with fire, so the house was roasted into porcelain!


    Besides that, he is sure now that there are really no zombies here!


    No wonder they came all the way and felt that there were fewer and fewer zombies.


    ¡°Why are there no zombies here?¡± District Chief Wang asked.


    Gu Tan answered: ¡°Kill them all.¡±


    ¡°This is outside the security base, right? Why are so many fields planted? Can you plant them?¡±


    ¡°Of course they can be grown, it¡¯s also very fast!¡±


    ¡°Do you use machinery? Farming machines use a lot of oil, right?¡±


    ¡°We didn¡¯t use machines, we used earth ability users.¡±


    ¡°Use ability users to farm?¡± District Chief Wang was a little confused.


    However, he soon discovered that Gu Tan didn¡¯t say a single lie.


    Because the tens of thousands of zombies behind them disappeared soon!


    Completely gone, not a single one left!


    Those who had taken a bath drank a bowl of some watery mashed potatoes and started walking towards C city¡¯s security base.


    Along the way, they also saw people with earth abilities plowing the ground, and people with wind abilities planting seeds!


    Ability users! Those are ability users!


    A proud ability user next to District Chief Wang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°How can you let ability users do this?¡±


    ¡°Why can¡¯t ability users do these things? They can get high contribution points by doing these things. They can eat delicious and spicy food every day and don¡¯t have to worry about becoming a feast for mutated zombies,¡± Gu Tan said, looking at Zhou Jingshan, ¡°Right, you also feel that life is good now, right?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan did not hesitate: ¡°Good good.¡± Zhou Jingshan had thought about it before, such as ¡®can¡¯t own this place, so better not stay¡¯.


    However, the last time the zombie ride attacked the city, those zombies were so powerful that he couldn¡¯t beat them.


    He stopped leaving in an instant.


    There is nothing wrong with generating electricity and cooking¡­Excluding Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, he is the richest person in the security base, and he is still very respected!


    The ability users on District Chief Wang¡¯s side looked at Zhou Jingshan¡¯s white appearance and gorgeous attire, and suddenly felt¡­that¡¯s pretty good too.


    So what about high status? Aren¡¯t ability users also hungry too?


    They don¡¯t mind doing farm work as long as they¡¯re safe to eat and drink!


    District Chief Wang couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°In your security base, what can people with lightning abilities do?¡±


    Zhou Jingshan¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Generating electricity! You can discharge electricity directly, and the efficiency is higher than using my fire ability to generate electricity!¡±


    District Chief Wang: ¡°¡­¡± It could be used like this too?!


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze teleported over.


    ¡°Brother Xie! Boss!¡± Everyone greeted them one after another.


    District Chief Wang knew that these two people should be the leaders, so he hurried up and wanted to greet them too.


    However, he was soon too frightened to speak, because those people in C city¡¯s security base actually surrounded that ¡®Brother Xie¡¯ and said something: ¡°Brother Xie, how many thousands of zombies are there in your space now?¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, these zombies should be complete, right?¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, release them when you get back, let the brothers train their hands!¡±


    ¡°Brother Xie, I haven¡¯t seen a complete zombie for a long time!¡±


    ¡­


    District Chief Wang: ¡°¡­¡± This C city security base is a bit too scary!


    These two handsome young men are even more terrifying!


    T/N: Next¡­.Director Xie and Little Star Lu

 CH 127

    After Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze stabilized C City¡¯s security base, they went to many places together and helped many security bases.


    This made Xie Chengze¡¯s space full of zombies all year round, and made Xie Chengze¡¯s reputation as a zombie killer spread in many security bases.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou is also famous. After all, every time there are too many zombies in Xie Chengze¡¯s space, he will ask Lu Yanzhou to dig a large pit, and then dump those squashed zombies into it¡­After that, Lu Yanzhou will use earth spike to kill those battered zombies and then they are all smashed rotten¡­


    Although this is a very pleasing scene, it also makes the onlookers shiver.


    As time went by, the zombies were slowly wiped out, and humans began to multiply again¡­When Lu Yanzhou left this world, he used his merits to repair the small world that was on the verge of collapse and also helped it escape from Black Tortoise¡¯s control.


    With Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragments, he entered the next small world.


    The last small world was the apocalypse. Although Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze had much better living conditions than ordinary people because of their strong abilities, they never enjoyed it much.


    Even in their later years, though they have become respected by everyone, they have no chance to live a luxurious life.


    However, this world¡­


    When Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a luxurious room. At the same time, the memory of the original owner appeared in his mind.


    Yachts, private jets, luxury cars, famous watches¡­The original owner has never lacked money since he was born. His life is extremely luxurious.


    The original owner was the youngest son of a foreign-chinese descent tycoon.


    The grandfather of the original owner suffered a lot when he was young, he worked very hard and finally earned a large fortune. The original owner¡¯s father also has a very precise vision. He not only managed the company handed down by his elders well, but also invested in many emerging industries, earning a lot of money.


    When he was almost sixty years old, his wealth ranked among the top ten in the world, and the original owner was the youngest son born to him by his wife in her forties at that time.


    Father Lu¡¯s family was actually very poor when he was young, so he devoted himself to his career and he got married relatively late.


    After marriage, his wife gave birth to two sons and two daughters successively within ten years but he didn¡¯t have much time to take care of them.


    It wasn¡¯t until the original owner was born that father Lu was free. At that time, among the children in front of him, the youngest was already in middle school. Even if he wants to get close to them, father Lu couldn¡¯t get close anymore, so he placed all his fatherly love on the original owner.


    It was said that the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the lifeblood of an old man¡­Father Lu had his youngest son at the age of holding a grandson, so he really wanted to spoil the original owner to heaven.


    The original owner had everything he wanted since he was a child. So, thinking that it was too easy to get all kinds of things, he started thinking that life is meaningless.


    Well, this problem is not limited to the original owner alone. Many of the rich second generations around the original owner have this problem. Some of them will do some very dangerous things to find excitement.


    However, the original owner is different from them.


    The original owner grew up too well protected. If a little skin on his hand peels off, a bunch of hired doctors will surround him, so even though he was obviously tall and imposing, his body was very delicate and tender. He never suffered from anything and he never touch those dangerous things..


    The boring original owner finally came up with a way to find excitement, which was to enter the entertainment industry.


    He wants to be popular all over the world and become a superstar.


    Father Lu really loves his children. He is now over eighty years old, his time is running out, so his love for the original owner further improved!


    Son wants to be a star? OK, dad will pave the way for you!


    Son wants to film? Okay, dad will invest in you!


    Son afraid of hard work? It¡¯s okay, dad will hire a double for you!


    ¡­


    Of course, father Lu also set some rules for the original owner. For example, as a good boy, the original owner cannot stay up late and must go to bed at ten o¡¯clock in the evening.


    Father Lu also concealed the original owner¡¯s identity.


    The original owner was almost kidnapped when he was a child, because of this matter, Father Lu was very concerned about the original owner¡¯s safety.


    The entertainment industry is too chaotic. He is afraid that after the original owner¡¯s identity is revealed, he will be targeted by people, cheated and poisoned by bad guys.


    Thus, the original owner entered the entertainment circle under the protection of a group of bodyguards.


    When he was filming, he came late and left early and asked for a body double. His professional ability was very bad, but no one dared to complain about him. After all, he was the one who was highly praised by the gold master dad!


    Of course, it¡¯s impossible for the original owner, who was like this, to become popular. In fact, the original owner has been in the entertainment circle for two years and there is still no splash.


    The original owner was not happy.


    The original owner was clamoring not to film in the crew invested by his father anymore and wanted to audition by himself¡­He fell in love with a crew that the famous director Xie Chengze was preparing, and wanted to enter and play the leading role.


    What Xie Chengze wanted to make was a sci-fi movie, and the investment was astonishing.


    The original owner, who actually doesn¡¯t have any acting skills, went to audition for the male lead and of course failed.


    However, because the original owner has a good appearance, Xie Chengze said that the original owner can act as the young master in the film. The young master was very spoiled and his scene is very little, he¡¯s only for comedy. It can only be said that it was tailored for the original owner ¡ª he can just be himself.


    Ordinary people would probably die of joy when they get such an opportunity, but the original owner is not an ordinary person.


    He felt that Xie Chengze looked down on him and complained in his heart.


    Of course, he still joined the crew, but after joining the crew, everything was not pleasing to his eye. When filming, he had to roll around on the ground but he didn¡¯t like being dirty.


    With such arrogance, Xie Chengze felt that he couldn¡¯t serve him, so he wanted to terminate the contract with him and make him stop acting.


    How could the original owner bear such ¡®grievances¡¯?


    He complained to his father, saying that Xie Chengze wanted to do unspoken rules to him and took advantage of him while filming!


    Father Lu always thought that his precious son was the most obedient in the world, so he didn¡¯t think that his son was lying at all, therefore, he immediately started to deal with Xie Chengze.


    He found someone to fabricate a lot of black information about Xie Chengze and posted it on the Internet, saying that Xie Chengze is gay and likes to do unspoken rule with others, and also put pressure on the investors who invested in this sci-fi movie¡­


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t make this movie anymore, and he became the existence that everyone scold and beat!


    Xie Chengze himself was not in good health, so after this kind of thing happened, he was inevitably hit hard.


    Besides that, Xie Chengze had also ¡®offended¡¯ a popular little fresh meat before. At that time, the little fresh meat wanted to be in Xie Chengze¡¯s crew and even let the wind out in advance, but Xie Chengze refused¡­


    This little fresh meat has always held grudges after being ridiculed by the crowd. This time, seeing Xie Chengze in trouble, he stomped hard.


    He posted a Weibo, implying that Xie Chengze had made that kind of request to him at the beginning, but he didn¡¯t agree, so he couldn¡¯t join Xie Chengze¡¯s crew in the end¡­


    This little fresh meat has a lot of fans. His fans hated Xie Chengze when he was ridiculed by the crowd, so once this incident appeared, it became even more serious!


    In the end, a few extreme fans chased Xie Chengze¡¯s car, crashing into it, causing Xie Chengze to die in the car accident!


    Lu Yanzhou took a deep breath, why¡­he turned into a scumbag again?


    Of course, with the original owner like this, there is no good end.


    After getting rid of Xie Chengze, the original owner tasted the sweetness, so he used his father¡¯s hand to deal with many people he didn¡¯t like.


    Most of these people left the entertainment industry sadly after being entangled in scandals, and a few of them couldn¡¯t bear the pressure and committed suicide.


    The original owner has done so many things, and there will always be traces left. Xie Chengze failed to take revenge, but someone went all out. When the original owner was filming in a certain time, someone sneaked in to be the group actor, and then secretly changed the props and stabbed the original owner in the chest with a real knife. That was the original owner¡¯s end.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Well done!


    As far as the consequences of what the original owner did, many people have been killed!


    Of course, the original owner hasn¡¯t done anything yet¡­At this time, he had just auditioned for Xie Chengze¡¯s crew, and got the role of the funny young master in that sci-fi film.


    In the whole movie, his scene is only two or three minutes long. Of course, if there is any accident, it¡¯s normal for him to be cut.


    Lu Yanzhou was very satisfied with this.


    Now that he has passed the audition, he can approach Xie Chengze!


    He believed that Xie Chengze would never refuse him!


    In this world, he is rich enough to do anything conveniently!


    He can also provide Xie Chengze with the best life!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s crew has already prepared, and all the casting has been completed, so the filming will start soon.


    Although there is no need to join the group yet, but¡­


    Lu Yanzhou turned over and got up from the bed, planning to go to Xie Chengze in advance.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze was also discussing Lu Yanzhou with someone.


    The producer has worked with Xie Chengze many times. He is a bald man in his thirties. He looked at Xie Chengze puzzled: ¡°Old Xie, why did you choose that Lu Yanzhou? He has a bad reputation.¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned for a moment: ¡°I just think he looks pretty good¡­What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know Lu Yanzhou. Although his movie investment was huge and important, that was just a small role with a few minutes appearance for people to take.


    What¡¯s more, the outside world is not very optimistic about his sci-fi movie.


    Lu Yanzhou was good-looking, and although he didn¡¯t have any acting skills, he could act with his true personality. He read Lu Yanzhou¡¯s information and found that he had acted in many TV dramas, so he decided to choose him.


    ¡°This Lu Yanzhou¡­he has a gold master and he also has a bad temper!¡± The producer, surnamed Wei, said in a low voice at this moment.


    Xie Chengze was a little surprised: ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s true! His previous films were all invested by his gold master. During filming, his good master would send someone to pick him up every night. I heard that they were very fond of him¡­Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if he has a gold master as long as he works, it won¡¯t be a problem¡­But he is not serious about filming, always looking for a body double¡­¡±


    Hearing what Producer Wei said, Xie Chengze was also a little worried. He thought for a moment, then said, ¡°In this movie, he only has a few scenes, and some of them can be left out¡­it should be fine.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, his scenes can be filmed in a day or two, so nothing will happen.¡± Producer Wei no longer struggled.


    At this time, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help sighing in his heart ¨C such a good-looking boy, why would he choose to walk such a path?

 CH 128

    The original owner lived abroad when he was little, and was almost kidnapped, which scared his parents.


    Later, his parents did various inspections and felt that the country was relatively safe, so they brought the original owner to live in the country.


    From the original owner¡¯s parents¡¯ perspective, compared with personal safety, everything else is secondary. They don¡¯t ask for anything else, they only want their youngest son to live safely until he is 120 years old.


    Why not a hundred years old? The average life expectancy of people nowadays has been increasing, more and more people live to be more than a hundred years old, therefore, their youngest son must live longer!


    Now the original owner lives with his parents in a super large villa with a large garden left over from the last century in S City and just renovated a few years ago.


    Lu Yanzhou got up from his custom-made three-meter-by-three-meter-long bed, rang the bell, and someone immediately came in to change his sheets and clothes and take care of him as he got ready.


    There is even a dedicated stylist asking him what he wants to look like today.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯m going to see the director today, give me a clean appearance.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the stylist immediately selected suitable clothes and accessories for Lu Yanzhou.


    During this time, someone also brought milk to Lu Yanzhou to drink, so as not to let Lu Yanzhou starve.


    There were a lot of people, but they didn¡¯t bother Lu Yanzhou for too long. In fact, after less than half an hour, Lu Yanzhou was ready and went downstairs.


    The original owner woke up late every day, it was already nine o¡¯clock in the morning. The original owner¡¯s parents were up early and were watching TV in the living room. When they saw Lu Yanzhou, they asked Lu Yanzhou what he wanted to eat.


    There are several cooks in this house, some are good at french cuisine, some are good at cantonese cuisine, some are good at sichuan cuisine¡­ anyway, the original owner can eat whatever he wants.


    Lu Yanzhou was not picky about his food, so he chose a chinese and western set meal that the original owner often chose, and ate slowly.


    It¡¯s really delicious! The cooking skills of the original owner¡¯s chef are amazing!


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou eating deliciously, father Lu and mother Lu looked relieved.


    Father Lu, who is in his eighties, is still well maintained. He looked seventy years old at most. Seeing that Lu Yanzhou had almost finished eating, he asked with a smile, ¡°Zhouzhou is going to see the director?¡±


    Mother Lu looked even younger. Even if she told people that she was only in her fifties, others would believe her. She followed up and said, ¡°Since you are going to see the director, do you want to prepare a gift?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°You can prepare a little¡­Mom, can you ask someone to prepare a lunch suitable for take-out for me. The portion should be big but light. Director Xie is not in good health.¡±


    In this world, Xie Chengze suffers from lupus erythematosus and some complications that require hormone treatment.


    The use of hormones made Xie Chengze inevitably gain weight. He looked chubby with a face like a full moon.


    He was a director in the first place, so no matter what he looked like, no one would say anything. However, on the original historical trajectory, after the original owner said that he did unspoken rules, everyone started attacking him, saying that he was fat, big, greasy, and disgusting.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that those people were blind.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s chubby appearance is obviously very cute!


    In the last world, he once said that he also liked if Xie Chengze was fatter, and now he has met the chubby Xie Chengze!


    Although the production crew has not yet started, the preparations are almost complete, and the special effects studio has also been set up.


    A young actor like Lu Yanzhou shouldn¡¯t know the address of the studio, but he is not an ordinary young actor. If he wants to know, he will know it.


    So, he took a box of food, plus four bodyguards and two assistants, and took two cars to the destination.


    The car he was sitting in was a modified business car. The seats on it were specially designed for him. There was a sofa bed at the back that allowed him to lie down and sleep on that was as comfortable as it could be.


    He rides this when he goes out for a short time, but if he is filming¡­then there will be a caravan following him.


    The studio was built on the outskirts of S City. When Lu Yanzhou arrived at the place, he was about to get out of the car with his lunch box, but someone had already carried the lunch box for him.


    One can¡¯t enter the studio casually, but the original owner made a fuss not to shoot the TV series that his father invested in him. After entering the big-budget movie, his father had already found someone to contact the investor of the movie, so Lu Yanzhou went in very smoothly. .


    Xie Chengze is very busy during this time.


    He is considered a second generation of celebrities. His parents are well-known celebrities, so he has attracted much attention since he was born.


    However, he hasn¡¯t appeared in front of the media because his medical condition was detected at a young age. More than ten years ago, a reporter was conducting an interview in front of the Film and Television Academy. When he saw the chubby Xie Chengze, he was surprised and asked him how such a body shape was admitted to the Film and Television Academy. Xie Chengze said helplessly that he majored in the directing department¡­This interview strangely became popular, bringing Xie Chengze in front of the crowd.


    Xie Chengze is 32 years old this year. 14 years have passed since he first entered the Film and Television Academy. In these 14 years, he has made a total of ten movies. Five without much splash but still made a small profit, three with a good box office, and two of them were very popular, earning a fortune!


    It is also because of this that this time when he wants to make a sci-fi movie with a large investment, someone is willing to invest.


    And Xie Chengze himself also attaches great importance to this movie.


    During this period of time, he has been living in a hotel near the studio. He came to the studio every morning at six or seven o¡¯clock, and stayed until around ten o¡¯clock in the evening before going back to sleep.


    After talking with the producer today, he started discussing with the screenwriter again. While discussing, he drew the storyboard. While he was drawing, producer Wei rushed over and told him that Lu Yanzhou was coming.


    ¡°Xingyu Entertainment, the biggest investor in this movie, just called me and said that Lu Yanzhou is coming over¡­According to Xingyu Entertainment, Lu Yanzhou is a junior of one of their directors. They¡¯re telling us not to embarrass Lu Yanzhou if possible, it¡¯s best if we could teach him more,¡± Producer Wei said in a complicated tone, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect ah¡­the person behind Lu Yanzhou is actually a director of Xingyu Entertainment.¡±


    Xingyu Entertainment is one of the largest entertainment companies in the country. It has earned an unknown amount of money over the years. It¡¯s a colossus that no one can shake in the entertainment industry.


    Because of the large size of the company, Xingyu Entertainment has relatively few messy things, and most of the directors only accept the dividends and don¡¯t care about anything else.


    He didn¡¯t expect someone to open the back door for Lu Yanzhou now¡­


    He remembered that the famous directors of Xingyu Entertainment were also not young!


    Tsk tsk! Lu Yanzhou has a very strong taste!


    ¡°What is he doing with just a few minute scenes?¡± Xie Chengze was a little puzzled.


    ¡°Maybe he wants us to add more scent to him?¡± Producer Wei guessed.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s sci-fi film was written for him by a screenwriter from his ideas. Under such circumstances, if Xie Chengze wants to, he can add a few scenes for Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°He thinks too much, I can¡¯t add scenes to him.¡±


    Xie Chengze has already got the outline for the whole film in his mind, it¡¯s impossible for him to casually add scenes to a small character.


    While they were talking, someone came over, saying that Lu Yanzhou came.


    After all, it was Xingyu Entertainment, the largest investor, who asked them to take care of him¡­Xie Chengze and Producer Wei walked out together.


    Xie Chengze is the same age as Producer Wei. They were aso classmates back then.


    Over the years, Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance has not changed much, anyway, he has always been chubby, but Producer Wei has changed from a handsome young man in his prime to a bald man with a beer belly.


    As soon as the two went out, they saw Lu Yanzhou followed by six people.


    Producer Wei somewhat understands why Xie Chengze chose him to play the young master in the script. With such style, such temperament¡­Lu Yanzhou can definitely act in his true colors!


    The director of Xingyu Entertainment has a good vision!


    Xie Chengze was stunned at this moment.


    Last time, he just thought that Lu Yanzhou was pleasing to the eye, but this time it was different. He didn¡¯t know if it was because the Lu Yanzhou in front of him was dressed too dazzlingly, he had the feeling that this person had pressed head-on into his heart.


    His heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind ¡ª in fact, it¡¯s not impossible to add some scene to Lu Yanzhou¡­


    Wait, what is he thinking!


    Xie Chengze quickly looked away, and then he heard Lu Yanzhou smile and say, ¡°Hi, Director Xie and Producer Wei!¡±


    ¡°Hello.¡± Xie Chengze responded in a daze.


    ¡°Hello, hello!¡± Producer Wei also smiled. Producer Wei is actually not afraid that the actors have a gold master, what he is afraid of is that the actors will not work hard during filming.


    There are actors who still work hard during filming even with financial backers, so everyone is rushing to get them! How sweet it is to bring money into the group!


    Although this Lu Yanzhou has a lot of ostentation now, he seems to be easy to get along with, so Producer Wei doesn¡¯t reject him so much.


    He even began to wonder if he could get more investment by currying favor with Lu Yanzhou.


    Alas, the movie made by Xie Chengze uses a lot of special effects, which cost a lot of money!


    The original owner¡¯s attitude towards the people around him had always been bad, but Lu Yanzhou was different.


    He smiled and talked to Xie Chengze and Producer Wei, saying that filming is his dream, so he wants to join the group early and learn here¡­


    His attitude was too good, and since the people above had even called him, Xie Chengze and Producer Wei naturally wouldn¡¯t disagree.


    Producer Wei rushed to speak: ¡°Teacher Lu, how about this, I¡¯ll show you around!¡± Xie Chengze was not very tactful, so Producer Wei feared that he would accidentally offend Lu Yanzhou, the celebrity besides Xingyu¡¯s director, so he naturally had to do it himself.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted Xie Chengze to accompany him more, but Xie Chengze seldom talked and he must be busy recently, so he left with Producer Wei, intending to have a good chat with Producer Wei, to see if he could invest more.


    On the original historical trajectory, after being overworked by the original owner, the film was never finished at all and finally nothing happened.


    This movie is what Xie Chengze has always wanted to make¡­This time he must help Xie Chengze make this movie well!


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou and Producer Wei leave together, Xie Chengze returned to his workshop with a cold face.


    ¡°Director Xie, has that Lu Yanzhou lost his temper?¡± The screenwriter surnamed Zhang asked Xie Chengze when he saw Xie Chengze¡¯s unpleasant expression.


    Xie Chengze answered: ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t look very happy.¡± Screenwriter Zhang continued.


    Xie Chengze rubbed the center of his brows: ¡°I¡¯m not unhappy¡­it¡¯s just¡­¡± He just felt a little depressed.


    Lu Yanzhou chose to find a gold master because he wanted to pursue his dream, right?


    It¡¯s not easy for him to say anything about Lu Yanzhou, but he always feels it¡¯s a pity.


    Such a handsome young man¡­If he met him sooner, he would definitely be willing to help him, so that Lu Yanzhou would not have to sell his body.


    Well, not necessarily either.


    He doesn¡¯t know Lu Yanzhou well, so why is he willing to help Lu Yanzhou? It wasn¡¯t because he fell in love with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s beauty, right?


    So in the final analysis¡­he is no different from the gold master behind Lu Yanzhou.


    It¡¯s really not easy for Lu Yanzhou. Always being targeted by people with malicious intentions like them.


    Xie Chengze looked at the script and suddenly had a terrifying idea ¨C if he gave Lu Yanzhou hints that as long as Lu Yanzhou was with him, he would add scenes to Lu Yanzhou¡­Would Lu Yanzhou be willing?


    As soon as this thought came up, Xie Chengze threw it aside.


    Accompanying a fat old man is not something interesting, why would he bother to harm Lu Yanzhou?

 CH 129

    Lu Yanzhou and Producer Wei had a good chat.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know anything about filming before, but after having the original owner¡¯s memory, because the original owner has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, he also has a half-knowledge about many things.


    Chatting with Producer Wei now, he learns a lot of things.


    As for Producer Wei, his impression of Lu Yanzhou is getting better and better ¡ª this Lu Yanzhou has a good temper, not as bad as the legend says.


    When Lu Yanzhou found out that they didn¡¯t have enough investment, he promised to find a way to get some investment. Producer Wei even regarded Lu Yanzhou as a treasure.


    Lu Yanzhou also took the opportunity to inquire about Xie Chengze.


    On the way here, he had already searched about Xie Chengze on the Internet but there were very few things he could find. Those things were usually sighing, thinking that Xie Chengze¡¯s mother and father were both beautiful and handsome, why did they give birth to a fat man in the end¡­


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to see those things, he wanted to know the real Xie Chengze.


    When Producer Wei heard Lu Yanzhou inquire about this, he felt a ¡®thump¡¯ in his heart ¡ª this person is very good-looking, but why did he want to ask about Xie Chengze¡¯s preferences? He doesn¡¯t plan to seduce Xie Chengze, right?


    Producer Wei could only remind vaguely: ¡°Director Xie has a bad temper and is serious in his work. There was a female star who knocked on Director Xie¡¯s room door in the middle of the night to discuss the script with Director Xie but Director Xie didn¡¯t even let her in.¡±


    ¡°Director Xie is really good!¡± Lu Yanzhou was very happy, and at the same time secretly learned a trick ¡ª Knocking on Director Xie¡¯s room door in the middle of the night to discuss the script¡­It can be used in the future!


    He believed that Xie Chengze would definitely let him in.


    After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.


    Lu Yanzhou asked his assistant to take out the lunch box he brought. He invited Producer Wei to eat together, then said, ¡°Director Xie didn¡¯t eat, did he? Let¡¯s call Director Xie to eat with us?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll call him.¡± Producer Wei said.


    Producer Wei quickly found Xie Chengze: ¡°Old Xie, I have talked with Lu Yanzhou. He is not bad. The most important thing is that the person behind him should really dote on him¡­I¡¯ve already persuaded him to bring money into the group. Now he wants to invite you to eat together, you should come with me¡­¡±


    Producer Wei was ready to persuade Xie Chengze but then he saw that Xie Chengze had already left: ¡°Old Xie, why are you going?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou invite me to eat together?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Producer Wei: ¡°You don¡¯t even need me to persuade, you agreed so simply?¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Even if Producer Wei didn¡¯t come to invite him, he would still go out and invite Lu Yanzhou to eat together!


    Producer Wei caught up with Xie Chengze, and continue: ¡°Lu Yanzhou has been asking me about you, probably because he wants to work hard for you so that you can add more scene to him¡­For the sake of investment, don¡¯t be angry with him, don¡¯t make things too hard for him.¡±


    Xie Chengze took a deep breath: ¡°Did Lu Yanzhou really ask you about me?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± Producer Wei said.


    Xie Chengze coughed lightly: ¡°How did you answer that?¡±


    Producer Wei said: ¡°I told him, you are not the kind of person who will do unspoken rules!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± how is he someone who doesn¡¯t do unspoken rules? It isn¡¯t good to dampen the enthusiasm of young people like this, right?!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bodyguards had already cleared out a clean table with placemats on it with a row of expensive food¡­It was obviously in an unfinished studio, but it gave people a sense of being in the palace.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s gaze landed on Lu Yanzhou, then he couldn¡¯t look away anymore. At the same time, a bitterness rose in his heart.


    This person is not his.


    ¡°Director Xie, I don¡¯t know what you like to eat, so I prepared something casually. I don¡¯t know if there is any food you like¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze with a smile.


    ¡°I like them all.¡± Xie Chengze answered.


    ¡°Director Xie, as long as you like it,¡± Lu Yanzhou pulled back the chair for Xie Chengze, ¡°Director Xie, I have liked your movies since I was a child. You have always been my idol!¡±


    The original owner has seen many of Xie Chengze¡¯s movies, so Lu Yanzhou can really talk.


    However, when he said these words, Xie Chengze felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest.


    Lu Yanzhou is very young. He¡¯s only 22 this year. He¡¯s 10 years younger than him, so he really did watch his movies since he was a child¡­Isn¡¯t he a little old?


    ¡°Thank you for liking.¡± Xie Chengze said dryly.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what to say, but Lu Yanzhou had already found a new topic to talk about the movie with Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou, who has the original owner¡¯s memory and knows the filming of this movie, can say a lot about this movie.


    Xie Chengze suddenly had the feeling of having met a bosom friend, so the more he looked at Lu Yanzhou, the more he fell in love with him.


    Producer Wei: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou is quite capable, he can even coax Xie Chengze!


    However, when one thinks about it, there are so many people looking for gold masters these days, but there are very few gold masters, so all those handsome men and beautiful women who have successfully sell themselves should have real skills.


    If Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t been good-looking, good-natured and able to coax people, how could he get his gold master to invest so much money in him?


    While talking, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Director Xie, I¡¯ve always been interested in making movies. Can I come to you in the future and learn from you?¡±


    How could Xie Chengze be willing to reject him: ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Director Xie.¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze with a smile.


    He knew that Xie Chengze would never refuse him!


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze said so¡­After lunch, Lu Yanzhou simply followed Xie Chengze and served as Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant.


    Well, he can¡¯t do much work, so he can only pass water and praise Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Director Xie, you know so much!¡±


    ¡°Director Xie, you are amazing!¡±


    ¡°Staying by Director Xie¡¯s side, I have learned a lot!¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze took a deep breath and understood why some people like to have a celebrity by their side.


    Such a young and handsome man praised him every day¡­It felt so good!


    ¡°Director Xie, you draw really beautifully.¡± Seeing Xie Chengze drawing the storyboard, Lu Yanzhou said again.


    Xie Chengze felt that he shouldn¡¯t let Lu Yanzhou talk alone¡­So, He asked, ¡°Can you draw?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°I can.¡± The original owner learned to draw when he was a child, but he felt too tired, so he refused to learn later. In fact, he didn¡¯t learn anything.


    However, Lu Yanzhou is different. He has learned to draw, and he is also very good at drawing, especially sketches. When he drew Xie Chengze back then, it was very lifelike.


    ¡°What kind of drawing did you study?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°I can draw sketches. Director Xie, let me draw you.¡± Lu Yanzhou took the pen and paper next to him and drew a picture of Xie Chengze in two or three strokes.


    The chubby Xie Chengze appeared on the paper, looking much more handsome than Xie Chengze¡¯s real appearance.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°You draw very well, but I¡¯m not so good-looking.¡± Because of his illness, his skin is not good and he is even fatter.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Director Xie, in my heart, you are thousands of times more beautiful than the person on this paper.¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback for a moment, and then met Lu Yanzhou¡¯s sincere eyes ¡ª Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with stars, but it was true that he was the only one reflected.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heartbeat almost stopped, then a thought came to his mind ¨C Lu Yanzhou, is he trying to seduce him?


    Lu Yanzhou continued: ¡°Director Xie, in my heart, you are the most handsome!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Such words can be said, there is no doubt that Lu Yanzhou is seducing him!


    Xie Chengze was elated for a moment, then he was inevitably sad ¡ª Lu Yanzhou must have told people a lot of this before, right?


    Lu Yanzhou could speak so sincerely to a fat and old man like him, so he must be the same to others.


    Xie Chengze looked at his fat hands, feeling a little uncomfortable.


    Lu Yanzhou noticed Xie Chengze¡¯s gaze. He grabbed Xie Chengze¡¯s hand and rubbed it: ¡°Director Xie, your fleshy hands are so cute!¡±


    In the original trajectory, Xie Chengze obviously did nothing to the original owner, but was wronged by the original owner. Such a cute hand was even called a salty pig¡¯s hand¡­


    He wants to kiss this hand!


    However, such a fast progress can easily scare Xie Chengze, so let¡¯s talk about it in a few days.


    Thinking so, Lu Yanzhou reluctantly let go of Xie Chengze¡¯s hand.


    Xie Chengze took a deep breath, deeply shocked.


    He had encountered many people who came to him before and wanted to take shortcuts, but he had never seen someone as high in rank as Lu Yanzhou and as proactive as Lu Yanzhou!


    The feeling Lu Yanzhou gave him was really too sincere! Ordinary people really can¡¯t stand this kind of treatment!


    ¡°Director Xie, what do you like to eat, I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± Seeing that Xie Chengze had been silent, Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou was just like a vixen, no, he was more attractive than a vixen!


    Now such a person wants to cook for him¡­Xie Chengze felt flattered: ¡°I¡¯m not picky about food.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll do whatever I want.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    He has asked the driver to bring his RV over, and also bought some of Xie Chengze¡¯s favorite dishes. He will give it to Xie Chengze later!


    This world is safe and there is no life-and-death hatred between the two of them. Lu Yanzhou really can¡¯t wait, he really wants to establish a relationship with Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Replied Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze thought that Lu Yanzhou was just talking casually, and felt that Lu Yanzhou would take the food made by others and feed it to him as if he had made it himself at most.


    In the end¡­Lu Yanzhou actually got an RV, and then cooked outside the studio!


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou skillfully chopping vegetables and cooking, his movements were smooth and flowing, Xie Chengze knew that he had fallen and could never climb out again.


    He took a deep breath and began to think about how to add more scenes to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s role.

    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t tell anyone about his illness, most people didn¡¯t know that he was in poor health.


    Lu Yanzhou knew about it because in the original historical trajectory, after the original owner frame Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze fell ill and was hospitalized, and his information was leaked¡­Everyone knew about his illness!


    At that time, a group of netizens said that he deserved it¡­


    Lu Yanzhou finally made three dishes and one soup, not only considering Xie Chengze¡¯s taste, but also avoiding the food that is not good for Xie Chengze.


    At noon, Lu Yanzhou invited Producer Wei to eat, but he didn¡¯t invite Producer Wei for this meal. He only invited Xie Chengze to his RV to eat with him.


    This RV has a lot of space, but no matter how big the RV is, it¡¯s still a small airtight space. Xie Chengze felt a little uncomfortable watching the door being closed.


    What is Lu Yanzhou trying to do? Lu Yanzhou touched his hand before, now will he¡­


    Xie Chengze was a little nervous, then felt that there was something wrong with him.


    He is a fat-headed director and Lu Yanzhou is a handsome fresh meat. When encountering such a scene, it is Lu Yanzhou who should be nervous, so what is he nervous about?


    ¡°Director Xie, try my culinary skills.¡± Lu Yanzhou talks to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze took a sip and was a little amazed. What Lu Yanzhou made was so delicious!


    It was simply the best meal he had ever had!


    Well, he thinks so because he has a filter for Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cooking skills are really good.


    He knew why Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master was willing to spend a lot of money for Lu Yanzhou.


    It¡¯s just, didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou already have a gold master, why did he come to seduce him? Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou afraid that his gold master will be angry?


    ¡°Director Xie, is it delicious?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze nodded immediately: ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    Seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help smiling. Xie Chengze in the last world talked a lot and would ¡®sincerely¡¯ possess him from time to time, and then sweet talk him.


    The Xie Chengze in this world is different. He doesn¡¯t talk much and is a bit shy, which makes him want to tease him: ¡°If Director Xie thinks it¡¯s delicious, I¡¯ll make it for you every day from now on.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with obvious disbelief.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth, I will never lie to you.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± This person is really good at coaxing, such a promise was said easily!


    Xie Chengze felt that Lu Yanzhou probably couldn¡¯t do it, but he had to admit that he was very happy to hear it.


    In addition¡­ Lu Yanzhou has done so much, he definitely has to give an answer. Xie Chengze coughed lightly, and asked: ¡°My film will start filming in a few days, how is your preparation?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Director Xie, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m ready. There¡¯s no problem!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had read the script and the content of the original main role was very small and simple. He believed that there would be absolutely no problem just acting.


    ¡°You have a deep understanding of the script, I think you will have no problem,¡± Xie Chengze affirmed Lu Yanzhou, ¡°You like this job so much, I believe you will have better development in the future.¡±


    He originally wanted to tell Lu Yanzhou that he would add scenes to Lu Yanzhou, but after thinking about it, he still didn¡¯t say it directly.


    Let¡¯s talk about it after he finishes the script, then he can give Lu Yanzhou a surprise when the time comes.


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t intend to continue to develop in this industry. He was not very interested in filming. Of course, filming a film directed by Xie Chengze was another matter!


    After chatting with Producer Wei today¡­Lu Yanzhou has actually already thought about what he will do in the future.


    He wanted to do special effects.


    He has stayed in the interstellar world and learned some relevant knowledge. He believes that he can develop well in this area.


    The main reason¡­he can support Xie Chengze¡¯s director career by doing this!


    In the future, when Xie Chengze is filming, he will follow him, playing a small supporting role in the film, acting as Xie Chengze¡¯s assistant or something, and when Xie Chengze finishes filming, he can do special effects for Xie Chengze¡¯s movie.


    He can also invest in the films made by Xie Chengze, help Xie Chengze advertise, and guarantee all-round support for Xie Chengze!


    However, Xie Chengze said that he will have a good development¡­ Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°Director Xie said so, I will definitely develop very well.¡±


    Xie Chengze was dazzled by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s smile, so he could only lower his head, pretending to eat seriously.


    The meals Lu Yanzhou cooked were not large, so the two of them ate everything.


    After eating, Xie Chengze felt a little embarrassed.


    He is a bit fat. In the past, people would always say that he ate too much. He was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would think that he was so fat because he ate too much without restraint¡­


    As a result, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Director Xie, you eat too little, not as much as I do.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± This person is really caring!


    After the meal, someone came to Xie Chengze ¡ª there were many things for him to decide.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°Director Xie, I¡¯ll go with you¡­¡±


    However, at this time, one of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s assistants came over: ¡°Young master, old master asked you to go back early.¡±


    His father urged him to go back, so Lu Yanzhou could only look at Xie Chengze apologetically: ¡°Director Xie, I¡¯m sorry, there¡¯s something at home, I have to go back¡­I¡¯ll come see you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze smiled and watched Lu Yanzhou leave.


    When Lu Yanzhou left, he felt inevitably upset.


    Producer Wei said before that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master spoiled Lu Yanzhou very much that he was willing to spend money, but because he was a little strict, Lu Yanzhou was not allowed to stay outside at night.


    Today¡¯s situation¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master called him away, right?


    He was still thinking about him here, but Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t belong to him at all!


    It would be great if Lu Yanzhou belonged to him. When the time comes he¡­


    At that time, he also won¡¯t let Lu Yanzhou stay outside either!


    Thinking that after Lu Yanzhou left, he was going to accompany others, Xie Chengze felt uncomfortable all over. In order to divert his attention, he could only work hard.


    However, Producer Wei went to investigate Lu Yanzhou, and kept whispering in his ear nonstop: ¡°Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master protects him very well. He didn¡¯t allow Lu Yanzhou¡¯s black material to appear on the Internet at all. The drama Lu Yanzhou was in before, the script isn¡¯t very good, and the actors are all so-so. They¡¯re just there to set off Lu Yanzhou, making people think he¡¯s the best when they watch it¡­¡±


    Father Lu allowed Lu Yanzhou to enter the entertainment circle, but he didn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to be scolded, so he made some arrangements when he invested in the film crew.


    His son¡¯s acting can be very bad but other people have to be even worse. Like this, people who watch the drama will scold others as well.


    It is true now, Lu Yanzhou is not popular but he also has no anti-fans. However, he does have some face-con fans.


    Producer Wei continued: ¡°The costumes in those dramas are very good. The investment is also quite a lot. In the end, it was filmed like that and lost so much money¡­ordinary people really can¡¯t do it.¡±


    Xie Chengze felt even worse when he heard that. He didn¡¯t have that much money to support Lu Yanzhou.


    Is that why when the gold master called, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t wait to leave him.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze was a little worried about Lu Yanzhou. Most of the people around Lu Yanzhou were arranged for him by his gold master. Lu Yanzhou is so attentive to him today, will he make his gold master dissatisfied after he returns?


    Lu Yanzhou will be fine, right?


    Lu Yanzhou was indeed in trouble.


    He got into the car, and as soon as it drove for a while, his assistant said: ¡°Young master, old master is very angry.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Yanzhou was puzzled.


    The assistant said: ¡°You never cooked for master before.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    The bodyguards and assistants around Lu Yanzhou were indeed arranged by his parents. His bodyguards and assistants would report everything he did to his parents.


    Now his parents see their son, who wouldn¡¯t even cut a piece of fruit at home, cook for others, can they be happy?


    Definitely not happy!


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou got home, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing him, his eighty-year-old father snorted coldly and turned his head away.


    ¡°Dad, Mom, I learned how to cook today, do you want to try my cooking?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile.


    ¡°You only know how to cook for others, you still remember us?¡± Father Lu snorted.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s my first time cooking, I don¡¯t know what the final product will be like, so how dare I give it to dad! I must let others try the poison first!¡±


    Father Lu was happy now: ¡°It¡¯s not too bad! We haven¡¯t eaten yet, you can cook something for us to taste. However, don¡¯t hurt your hands¡­How about this, just steam an egg for us to eat.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Can steamed eggs be called cooked food?


    There was still a tough battle to be fought, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t dare to be careless¡­He cooked seven or eight dishes in one go.


    Of course, he was able to cook so much in such a short time because of the chef¡¯s help at home.


    Washing and cutting vegetables and so on, they have already done it, so he only needs to fry it in the pan.


    Father Lu and mother Lu knew that Lu Yanzhou was out cooking for others today and knew that it was a bit delicious, but in fact, they didn¡¯t expect Lu Yanzhou to have any cooking skills at all.


    They knew that their son had never been in the kitchen before, so what could he do?


    The results of it? Lu Yanzhou cooked so many dishes in one go!


    When father Lu and mother Lu came to see, they stood in the kitchen and watched Lu Yanzhou make it with a stunned expression.


    Their son was not good at what he did before, so they felt that their son had no talent at all.


    It seems to be different now. Their son is also talented, it just, his talent is in cooking.


    Mother Lu asked, ¡°Zhouzhou, when did you learn to cook?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou looked innocent: ¡°You need to learn how to cook? I just watched food videos.¡±


    Mother Lu continued asking: ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you do it before?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I don¡¯t want to do it, then don¡¯t do it.¡±


    Father Lu frowned: ¡°What about today? Why did you suddenly start cooking today? And Director Xie, do you have to pay so much attention to him?¡±


    Father Lu felt that something was wrong, his son was so good-looking, why did he suddenly attach so much importance to Xie Chengze?


    However, at that time, his attention was all on the fact that his son could cook, so he didn¡¯t think much about it.


    Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly, showing a little guilt: ¡°I just admire Director Xie very much, so I want Director Xie to take care of me more¡­¡±


    Seeing his son¡¯s behavior, father Lu felt more and more wrong: ¡°What you said is true?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt even more guilty when he saw it, he knew it was not true.


    Father Lu was a little uneasy, so he immediately asked, ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s going on?!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew very well that he was different from the original owner, so as long as Father Lu observed more, he would definitely be able to see the difference between him and the original owner.


    There is also his relationship with Xie Chengze. Father Lu, who has gone through decades of ups and downs and still attaches great importance to his son, cannot fail to see it.


    Since the other party will know about it sooner or later, he might as well confess it earlier, even the reason why he changed can be attributed to him liking Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, I like Director Xie.¡±


    Father Lu was stunned for a moment, and then said, ¡°Director Xie made good movies, it¡¯s normal for you to like him¡­¡±


    ¡°Dad, it¡¯s not his movies that I like, but him. Dad, I really like Director Xie, the kind that I want to marry him.¡± Lu Yanzhou is very sincere.


    Father Lu almost couldn¡¯t breathe: ¡°The Director Xie you¡¯re talking about is Xie Chengze, right?¡± His son was going to film in Xie Chengze¡¯s crew, so it was impossible for Father Lu not to investigate Xie Chengze.


    After some investigation, he learned that Xie Chengze was a decent man, so he agreed to his son¡¯s visit.


    He also saw Xie Chengze¡¯s photo at that time. He remembered that he was a fat man?


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s him! Who else besides him?¡±


    Father Lu was dumbfounded: ¡°You really like him? He looks like that¡­¡±


    ¡°What does Xie Chengze look like? Isn¡¯t he good-looking? He¡¯s chubby and so cute. The first time I saw him, my heart beat so fast.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Mother Lu didn¡¯t know much about Xie Chengze, so she quickly find a photo of Xie Chengze on her mobile phone.


    She held the mobile phone and looked at her son with disbelief: What¡¯s going on with her son? All these years, her son has never been in love, is it not because of his high vision, but because of¡­special preferences?


    Well, among many fat people, this Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance¡­is really good-looking.


    Wait, this Xie Chengze is a man! She almost forgot about this!

 CH 131

    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body has indeed never been in love.


    Father Lu and mother Lu loved the original owner very much. They were afraid that the original owner would learn to do something crook and get infected, so when the original owner was in his adolescence, they showed the original owner a lot of videos about various terrible infectious diseases, and told the original owner that if he is not clean, he may get infected.


    The original owner was disgusted at the time, so he immediately turned his back on the whole relationship thing.


    However, father Lu and mother Lu had long forgotten about that matter. In the past few years, they have started to worry about the original owner¡¯s love relationship, so they have been looking forward to the original owner¡¯s bringing a daughter-in-law home.


    Now Lu Yanzhou said that he has someone he likes, which is a good thing, but knowing that the person Lu Yanzhou likes is Xie Chengze, father Lu and mother Lu both felt a little unbearable.


    Mother Lu took a moment to remember something: ¡°Zhouzhou, you always tell me that I look better if I¡¯m fatter¡­Were you telling the truth?¡±


    Mother Lu was a slender beauty when she was young, but after giving birth to Lu Yanzhou, she began to gain weight. Now she is in her 60s and weighs about 130 catties. She is a rich old lady.


    Mother Lu usually clamored to lose weight, but because she is not short and her weight is not over the standard, the nutritionist has not advised her to lose weight.


    As for the family members, they told her all day long that she looks better if she is fatter.


    The original owner said this, firstly because mother Lu is really not ugly, and secondly because he wanted to coax his own mother.


    However, now Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Mom, I always thought you were too thin, so you would look better if you were fatter.¡±


    Mother Lu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Father Lu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu looked at each other. In the end, father Lu couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°You¡­do you like fat people?¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Lu Yanzhou lowered his head, looking a little disappointed, ¡°I¡¯ve always liked fat people, but everyone else likes thin ones, so I dare not tell people¡­¡±


    Father Lu took a deep breath and remembered one more thing: ¡°That, Xie Chengze is a man¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou trembled when he heard the words, then showed a sad expression: ¡°Dad, I like men¡­Am I abnormal like this? I have never dared to tell you, I dare not tell others too.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou sat on the sofa and covered his face with his hands: ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve embarrassed you, I¡¯m abnormal¡­¡±


    If Lu Yanzhou confronts father Lu and mother Lu, father Lu and mother Lu will definitely get angry, but now that he is blaming himself, he first said that he is abnormal¡­


    Father Lu and mother Lu are accustomed to loving their son, so now father Lu comforts his son instead: ¡°You are not abnormal, it can only say that you have different preferences.¡±


    With father Lu¡¯s age, he has seen too many things. He knows that some people just like fat people, so they will deliberately feed their partners to make them fat. As for those who like men, there are even more of those people.


    Although his son takes up both, if he were to think about it carefully, this is still better than those who are thinking about changing gender, or like plants and trees?


    Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou immediately hugged father Lu: ¡°Dad, you¡¯re so nice, you understand me!¡±


    After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou kissed father Lu¡¯s cheek: ¡°Dad, you are the best dad in the world!¡±


    After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou hugged mother Lu: ¡°Mom, you are also the best mother, you are willing to support me.¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu: ¡°¡­¡± Wait, they didn¡¯t say they understand and support it?


    In fact, they haven¡¯t recovered yet.


    But¡­still, if his son is going against them, father Lu would have found a crutch, but¡­his son kissed him!


    Oh heaven, this brat was so close to them when he was a child.


    Father Lu and mother Lu were speechless. Lu Yanzhou still continued: ¡°Dad, Mom, I found out that my sexuality is not right, so I am very depressed. I don¡¯t want to do anything, and I have no interest in anything. I am afraid that the people around me will hate me, especially you. You are my most important people¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou attributed the fact that the original owner stayed at home all day without learning anything to the fact that he was depressed after learning about his sexual orientation, so he had no face to see anyone. He now confessed to his parents.


    This made father Lu and mother Lu unable to say anything against him.


    Besides that, Lu Yanzhou closely followed by letting his parents taste the dishes he cooked, promising to prepare delicious food for them every day in the future, then sending them back to their room, massaging their shoulders and legs. After working for a few hours, he returned to his room.


    Today¡¯s tough battle is over.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that father Lu and mother Lu won¡¯t easily accept the matter between him and Xie Chengze, but they shouldn¡¯t object strongly either.


    Lu Yanzhou guessed right.


    Father Lu and mother Lu are human beings, they can see that what Lu Yanzhou said is true. Their son really likes Xie Chengze.


    If he didn¡¯t really like it, their son wouldn¡¯t make such a fuss.


    After confirming this¡­they intend to wait and see what happens first, and also impose economic sanctions on their son.


    Regarding emotional matters, the more the parents obstruct, the more the children will feel that it is true love. They may deliberately confront the parents to accept it with death.


    However, if the parents let it develop, maybe the child will break up instead.


    How many people only fall in love once these days?\


    What¡¯s more, they already investigated Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze once said in an interview that he is a celibate, so he won¡¯t fall in love and get married¡­


    Not to mention that he may not like men at all, but even if he likes men, he may not necessarily like their son after seeing a lot of fresh meat.


    So when Lu Yanzhou went downstairs the next day, father Lu said earnestly that he was very open-minded and would not stop his son, but he had a few conditions.


    ¡°Dad, you are really kind! You can ask for anything!¡± Lu Yanzhou leaned close to father Lu and began to massage father Lu¡¯s leg.


    Father Lu said: ¡°First of all, you can¡¯t tell Xie Chengze your identity. Don¡¯t you young people all talk about true love? If you are not the young master of the Lu family and he still loves you, this will be true love, right?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou nodded immediately: ¡°Dad, you are right! If what he likes is not me but my money, then he is not worthy of my love!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew what father Lu wanted to do, so he simply listen to father Lu and acted like his mind was full of ¡®love¡¯.


    Anyway, he was sure that no matter whether he had money or not, Xie Chengze would like him.


    Father Lu continued: ¡°That¡¯s right! So Zhouzhou, dad will first stop your card for you! If you want anything, just tell the assistant, and dad will prepare it for you. It¡¯s definitely not a loss to you. It¡¯s just, you can¡¯t spend money on Xie Chengze¡­so, like this, you can also see if he is sincere to you.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed straight away.


    When Father Lu saw his son like this, he just thought it was amusing. His son was used to having everything smoothly since he was a child, so he didn¡¯t know how important money was.


    Father Lu was still thinking about this when he heard Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, I can agree to all of these, I don¡¯t think love should be mixed with money! But I have something I want to ask you to help¡­Can you put some money into Xie Chengze¡¯s movie? I promised his producer yesterday, and there¡­I want a company that can do special effects, I want to start a business! I am a person who wants to get married, so I need to have my own business!¡±


    Father Lu thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Okay. Your mother owns Xingyu¡¯s shares, your mother will invest in Xie Chengze¡¯s film as a director of Xingyu. As for the special effects company, dad will buy one for you. All the shares are given to you, but you cannot use the money in the company for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, dad. Dad, you are the best dad in the world!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Lu Yanzhou said many sweet words to his parents before going out.


    Seeing her son leaving, Mother Lu asked Father Lu: ¡°Are you really not going to stop him from chasing that Xie Chengze?¡±


    Father Lu said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they won¡¯t get together.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Mother Lu was a little suspicious.


    Father Lu said: ¡°I¡¯m sure! Didn¡¯t I invest in several TV series for him and hide his identity? Because of this matter, there have been rumors in the circle recently that he has a gold master¡­I originally planned to deal with it, and also thinking of letting you transfer Xingyu¡¯s shares to him. When he becomes a director of Xingyu, naturally no one will dare to talk about him. But now that this happened¡­We should let this rumor ¡®settle¡¯.¡±


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes. Let¡¯s make people think that he is being taken care of by someone,¡± Father Lu said, ¡°If Xie Chengze and the others know about it¡­Xie Chengze, as a well-known director, will he fall in love with him?¡±


    ¡°Good idea!¡± Mother Lu said immediately.


    This method may make people talk about their son, but they feel nothing about this matter, after all, it¡¯s super easy to clarify.


    So what if someone whispered a few words about their son? The day their son¡¯s identity was exposed, these people would immediately changed their faces.


    Father Lu and mother Lu did what they said. Mother Lu immediately asked an assistant to contact Xie Chengze¡¯s production crew, gave him an investment in her own name, then asked the crew to take good care of her little baby Lu Yanzhou.


    As for father Lu, he froze all of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cards, and contacted someone to buy a special effects company.


    Although his son wanted a special effects company probably because of Xie Chengze¡¯s movie¡­if his son wants to make progress, he will never stop him!


    It¡¯s also good to give his son a company to test his hands.


    While father Lu and mother Lu were busy, Lu Yanzhou was on the set, clinging to Xie Chengze.


    Seeing him like this, Xie Chengze felt more and more that his professional ability was excellent.


    Speaking of which¡­Although Producer Wei said that Lu Yanzhou was being taken care of at the beginning, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t pay attention at that time and only believed half of it.


    Maybe his family is rich, right?


    There are many fake rich second generations in the circle these days, but there are also some real rich second generations.


    However, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s action made Xie Chengze believe 100% of what Producer Wei said at that time.


    If Lu Yanzhou is really a rich second generation, why would he please a fat director like him for such a small role?


    Lu Yanzhou even touched him and cooked for him¡­


    Which rich second generation would do such a thing.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s various behaviors are clearly begging him to do unspoken rules!


    As for him, he admitted, he was tempted.


    But he also has concerns. He is afraid that Lu Yanzhou is not sincere and will only please him only for the sake of getting popular. He is also afraid that something will happen to Lu Yanzhou because of getting close to him.


    Besides, if Lu Yanzhou treats him like this, the gold master behind Lu Yanzhou will definitely be unhappy, right?


    He wonders if Lu Yanzhou is willing to separate from that gold master and be with him.


    If Lu Yanzhou is willing¡­he may not have that much money, but he will definitely try his best to find more film for Lu Yanzhou to make Lu Yanzhou famous!


    When Xie Chengze thought of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master, his heart became bitter again. That¡¯s all, he was bitter. Producer Wei approached him and said that a director of Xingyu Entertainment wanted to invest 50 million yuan into their crew in their own name.


    Just like what Lu Yanzhou said yesterday, they really came to invest!


    Producer Wei couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Lu Yanzhou is really generous.¡±


    Xie Chengze felt a little uncomfortable ¡ª he couldn¡¯t even come up with 50 million!


    How is he going to rob Lu Yanzhou from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s current gold master?


    T/N: I mean, father Lu has a valid point. It¡¯s just that the one he facing is Boi Lu and Master Xie, so he bound to lose this time round (©V§Ù©V)

 CH 132

    Xie Chengze has directed many films over the years, many of which have an investment of over 100 million. The investment in this film he made is even higher. More than a dozen investors, large and small, have invested 300 million in total, and now someone has added 50 million. Adding it all up, it is 350 million.


    However, Xie Chengze is a director, not an investor, so his own assets are not much.


    His parents were both very famous stars back then, but they didn¡¯t make much money from filming back then, so his parents didn¡¯t earn much either. Later, they quit the entertainment industry and went to the Film and Television Academy to become teachers¡­Their life is still very good now but they don¡¯t have much money.


    As for him, he didn¡¯t get much money from making movies in the beginning, and later he started to earn a lot of money from the box office, but after buying a house, he only had 10 million funds at hand.


    To take out 50 million casually¡­This is a bit difficult for him.


    Xie Chengze was counting his assets when Producer Wei said: ¡°The director of Xingyu didn¡¯t show up but asked a special company to invest in us. I still don¡¯t know who is behind Lu Yanzhou¡­but they especially told us to take good care of Lu Yanzhou. It seems that they really cares about Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Xie Chengze responded.


    ¡°Old Xie, I know you don¡¯t like these things very much, but for the sake of 50 million yuan, you must not make it hard for Lu Yanzhou.¡± Said Producer Wei.


    Xie Chengze was speechless: ¡°When did I make it hard for Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    Producer Wei didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°You don¡¯t look good right now!¡±


    While the two were still talking, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s assistant came in: ¡°Director Xie, my family Yanzhou invited you to the car for a meal.¡±


    ¡°I see.¡± Xie Chengze responded and followed the assistant.


    Producer Wei: ¡°¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t figure it out. He had always been very warm to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze was quite indifferent to Lu Yanzhou, the two were together whenever Lu Yanzhou was looking for something to talk about¡­Why did Lu Yanzhou only invite Xie Chengze to dinner?


    Because he can¡¯t add scenes to Lu Yanzhou?


    Producer Wei was a little aggrieved and went to screenwriter Zhang.


    As a producer, he has a lot to worry about. He has to take care of all aspects, and he also needs to communicate with those sent by investors.


    He has no hair at a young age because he is exhuasted!


    In the end, after talking with screenwriter Zhang for a while, producer Wei was stunned: ¡°You said, Xie Chengze planned to add scenes to Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°Director Xie has this idea. After changing according to his thought, the role played by Lu Yanzhou will be very brilliant.¡± Screenwriter Zhang said.


    This sci-fi movie is set in an alternate future.


    At that time, because of the war and the powerful radiation brought by the indiscriminate use of weapons, the planet where the protagonist lived was devastated, and human beings also fell ill and died one after another.


    In order to survive, human beings built one radiation-proof city underground to live in.


    Decades later, the surface of the earth is still scorched black. The animals and plants that survive on it are all mutated. Some underground cities inhabited by humans are difficult to operate due to lack of energy. The protagonist takes a group of people out of the underground city in order to find energy for the underground city he lives in.


    While searching for energy, he encountered many dangers and also met people sent by other underground cities. They went through untold hardships to seek information from decades ago and used the things that destroyed the world back then to create energy to save the underground cities.


    Some things can destroy the world, but also can save the world.


    The story is considered a great success, but overall it is a bit dark and not so relaxed. If Lu Yanzhou¡¯s role is handled well, he can adjust the atmosphere and make people cry, it will be very brilliant.


    In the original script, Lu Yanzhou played a person who was born after the disaster.


    At that time, among human beings, many newborns were born with defects, but he wasn¡¯t. His parents were also very rich, which made him feel superior to others and always looked down on others.


    The underground city where he lives has taken in the injured protagonist and the others. This young master dislikes the protagonist and the others for being dirty, and wants to drive the protagonist out, which causes some ludicrous things to happen. But soon, the underground city where the young master lives is destroyed by mutated beasts, and this young master died in the radiation like many people in the underground city.


    This is the original setting, now Xie Chengze plans to change the young master to be more cute.


    For example, because the young master is a rare person who was born with no defects, he is loved by everyone in the underground city where he is, and is held in everyone¡¯s palm. He also loves his city deeply.


    When the protagonist and the others came to his city, the young master was also much friendlier. Xie Chengze planned to add some comedy plots.


    Later, the young master¡¯s city was still destroyed.


    The young master has no abilities, but he was protected and survived, and then he joined the protagonist¡¯s team with a few survivors from his city¡­in the end, he died on the road in order to protect the protagonist.


    The young master role was not that important originally, it was used to provoke the protagonist group¡¯ emotions, but now it has been changed like this¡­he has become a very brilliant supporting role.


    He still doesn¡¯t have many scenes, but he¡¯s definitely impressive.


    Producer Wei was stunned after hearing this, so he said, ¡°Xie Chengze finally succumbed to capital?¡±


    ¡°Capital?¡± Screenwriter Zhang was puzzled.


    Producer Wei said: ¡°50 million, it¡¯s almost the same!¡±


    The previous 300 million yuan was not invested by one person. Xingyu Entertainment, which invested the most, only invested 60 million yuan.


    Now Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master is already the second largest investor in their crew!


    Producer Wei is actually very grateful to Lu Yanzhou. After all, the original money used to make this movie is not enough, so the extra 50 million is quite generous!


    While Producer Wei was chatting with Screenwriter Zhang, Lu Yanzhou had just finished the meal.


    After talking with his parents in the morning, he came to Xie Chengze¡¯s side.


    He cooked the meal himself at noon and ate it with Xie Chengze, then it was the same at night.


    He divided the prepared dinner into two portions, one of which was packed by the assistant and sent back to father Lu and mother Lu¡­Lu Yanzhou sat opposite Xie Chengze, ready to eat.


    Seeing that Xie Chengze was very concerned about the assistant carrying away the food, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°My parents arranged them. My parents found out that I cooked for you yesterday, so they are not very happy. Today I made them a portion too, coaxing them.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze smiled, but didn¡¯t believe it.


    If Lu Yanzhou was really a rich second generation, he wouldn¡¯t be so proficient in cooking, and his parents would not make such a request to their son.


    Which big boss would miss the food cooked by their son and would be unhappy if they couldn¡¯t eat it?


    He felt that it was more likely that Lu Yanzhou needed to please his gold master.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze was thinking too much, after all, in the original owner¡¯s memory, everyone knew that he was a rich second generation.


    By the way, according to the original historical trajectory, the original owner¡¯s parents should give the original owner Xingyu shares at this point¡­But now his parents probably won¡¯t give him.


    ¡°Come on, try my cooking.¡± Lu Yanzhou picked up food for Xie Chengze.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± Xie Chengze began to eat slowly.


    The atmosphere between the two was very good. After eating, Lu Yanzhou kept looking for topics to talk about, then asked Xie Chengze a lot about acting.


    However, at eight o¡¯clock in the evening, Lu Yanzhou had to go back ¡ª his parents asked him to go home before ten o¡¯clock to go to bed early and get up early.


    Xie Chengze was a little depressed.


    Lu Yanzhou said that his parents asked him to go home before ten o¡¯clock, but Lu Yanzhou is an adult, he is also in the entertainment industry, how could his parents be so strict?


    Time flew by, it was the day before filming started.


    In the past few days, Lu Yanzhou came to report early in the morning every day and left on time at 8 o¡¯clock in the evening. He also cooked two meals for Xie Chengze every day and urged Xie Chengze to go back to rest when he left.


    After following him for a few days, Xie Chengze felt that his life was much healthier.


    He also had to sigh. Lu Yanzhou is really too caring, too good at taking care of others!


    In his life, he has never met someone who is more caring than Lu Yanzhou!


    That night, Lu Yanzhou still cooked as usual and invited Xie Chengze to eat.


    When Xie Chengze came, he was holding the script.


    Changing the script can¡¯t be done in a short while. After Xie Chengze had the idea, it took several days to successfully change the script.


    Then¡­he couldn¡¯t wait to show it to Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou has been very concerned about him recently, so he always wants to reciprocate.


    Therefore, as soon as Lu Yanzhou put the food on the table, closed the car door and prepared to eat with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze said, ¡°I changed the script these few days and added some scenes for you.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with some expectation.


    He didn¡¯t have much money, so he could only do this. He hoped that Lu Yanzhou would like it.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care about adding scenes or not, but seeing Xie Chengze¡¯s gaze¡­


    The starry sky roof installed in the RV gave people a romantic sense, Lu Yanzhou smile: ¡°Why did you think of adding scenes to me?¡±


    ¡°When I see you, I have countless inspirations in my heart.¡± Xie Chengze said. He couldn¡¯t say that Lu Yanzhou had flattered him for so long, so he wanted to pay back.


    Of course, he also said this sincerely. As long as he saw Lu Yanzhou, he would feel joy in his heart, so he also really loved the role Lu Yanzhou was going to play.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were shining, full of him.


    Lu Yanzhou has been by Xie Chengze¡¯s side for the past few days, and he has already confirmed that Xie Chengze likes him very much. Now that the atmosphere is so good¡­He lowered his head and kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s lips.


    Xie Chengze was taken aback. He didn¡¯t expect that after he added scenes to Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou would kiss him without hesitation!


    He doesn¡¯t look good and he doesn¡¯t have much to offer Lu Yanzhou, so Lu Yanzhou may not get close to him much¡­


    Xie Chengze decided to seize the opportunity and responded without hesitation.


    The person he likes responds to him¡­Lu Yanzhou kisses him more happily.


    The two kissed for a long time before Lu Yanzhou decided to stop: ¡°Eat first¡­If you don¡¯t eat, the food will be cold.¡±


    Xie Chengze still wanted to continue, ah¡­They kissed for twenty minutes.


    He doesn¡¯t mind kissing longer, but he¡¯s hungry!


    Xie Chengze was a little disappointed, but he didn¡¯t show it. He looked at Lu Yanzhou seriously.


    He was very afraid of seeing Lu Yanzhou showing a displeased expression, so he couldn¡¯t help but observe Lu Yanzhou.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t show any strangeness at all, instead he gave him food. That¡¯s alright, but Lu Yanzhou then said: ¡°Xie Chengze, I actually liked you very early, that¡¯s why I came to audition for this drama and come to see you every day¡­How is my behavior during this period of time? Would you like to be my boyfriend?¡±


    They have been together for several days and they even kissed today¡­Lu Yanzhou thinks it¡¯s time to confess his love and confirm his relationship with Xie Chengze!


    Xie Chengze was a little stunned when he heard this confession ¡ª what does Lu Yanzhou mean by this?


    Doesn¡¯t matter what Lu Yanzhou plans¡­Xie Chengze didn¡¯t hesitate at all: ¡°I am willing.¡±

 CH 133

    Lu Yanzhou succeeded in confessing, so he was in a very good mood. He kept serving Xie Chengze food during the meal.


    He went to watch the movies made by Xie Chengze every night these days, and he also watched Xie Chengze¡¯s interviews. The more he watched, the more he felt that Xie Chengze was amazing.


    Xie Chengze is only 32 years old this year and he is already a well-known director! The capital even assured him to direct a sci-fi film with an investment of 300 million yuan!


    In this circle, who knows how many people want to catch Xie Chengze to reach the sky in one step.


    ¡°Xie Chengze, can I call you AZe from now on?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze felt that it was inappropriate for Lu Yanzhou, who was ten years younger than him, to call him that, but he still answered, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°AZe, you are really amazing. You have directed so many movies at a young age, and the total box office is so high too! I am very happy to be your boyfriend.¡±


    Xie Chengze also knows that he is not bad. In fact, there have been an endless stream of people who have shown goodwill to him over the years.


    But those people only want the resources in his hands.


    As for his thoughts¡­Who would like a fat man like him who is also ill?


    ¡°You are also great. Your cooking is very delicious.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou gently.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make it for you every day from now on.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had finished eating, so he squeezed to Xie Chengze¡¯s side and kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s face.


    His flesh is plump and soft, it¡¯s very comfortable to kiss.


    Xie Chengze only felt numbness on his face. He let out a long breath, and couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Why do you like me?¡±


    ¡°You are so outstanding, don¡¯t you deserve my liking? You are also good-looking, forever in the center of my heart.¡± said Lu Yanzhou.


    In Lu Yanzhou¡¯s opinion, compared to the useless original owner, Xie Chengze is much better.


    It¡¯s normal for him to like Xie Chengze, isn¡¯t it?


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± he is good-looking? Lu Yanzhou is too good at saying nonsense without changing his expression, but he likes it.


    ¡°But AZe, there is something I want to discuss with you¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou was a little embarrassed.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯ve already told my parents that I like you but they don¡¯t agree with it. I¡¯ve been telling them these days that I¡¯m chasing you but you didn¡¯t agree¡­it¡¯s best for us not to be too close in front of outsiders in the future, lest they know that we¡¯re already together and make trouble for you.¡±


    These days, Lu Yanzhou tries his best to please his parents every day. He also kept proclaiming how much he loved Xie Chengze in front of his parents.


    At the same time, he also told his parents that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t agree to be with him.


    Because Xie Chengze in this world is not very talkative and he is quite indifferent to him in front of outsiders, his parents believed what he said, so they didn¡¯t trouble Xie Chengze.


    However, if his parents knew that Xie Chengze was with him¡­Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t guarantee that his parents would not hurt Xie Chengze.


    They can only keep their relationship a secret for the time being.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Okay, I will pay attention.¡± What with his parents¡­Lu Yanzhou is afraid that his gold master will be unhappy, right?


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, then took the initiative to kiss him.


    Are he and Lu Yanzhou¡­having an affair now?


    What can he do to make Lu Yanzhou break off from his gold master and only be with him?


    After kissing for a long time, Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Can you not go back today? The crew has booked the hotel next door¡­¡±


    Tomorrow is the opening ceremony and many actors are already here, so Lu Yanzhou could also stay here.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, AZe, my family is very strict.¡±


    Xie Chengze felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou immediately coaxed him: ¡°AZe, don¡¯t worry. After the filming starts, I will definitely find a way to convince my parents to live here! At that time¡­I will go to discuss the script with you at night, cough cough.¡±


    Discuss the script at night? Lu Yanzhou was clearly hinting something from this! Xie Chengze was a little dazed for a moment, then he felt that Lu Yanzhou was too skillful, so he couldn¡¯t help pinching Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was pinched without knowing why but he still grabbed Xie Chengze¡¯s chubby hand and kissed it.


    Xie Chengze sadly realized that he had no temper at all.


    He is also a well-known director, and now he is going to do unspoken rules with a male star, he even wants to share it with others¡­


    The two stayed in the RV for a long time before Xie Chengze left.


    Lu Yanzhou checked the time and prepared to go home.


    On the way home, Lu Yanzhou said to his assistant and bodyguards: ¡°You should know what to say and what not to say.¡±


    In the past few days, Lu Yanzhou has subdued these people.


    They are actually very easy to tame. Although father Lu and mother Lu pay them their wages, if they make him unhappy, he can get father Lu and mother Lu to fire them in minutes!


    They naturally don¡¯t dare to confront him.


    What¡¯s more, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t tell them to keep it a secret, he just told them not to tell his parents about his and Xie Chengze¡¯s progress ¡ª doesn¡¯t matter how much he and Xie Chengze hid it, they would still show something in front of these people anyway.


    As for why he tamed all these people and told Xie Chengze not to be too close with him¡­There are definitely more than these people around him.


    What¡¯s more, in outsider¡¯ eyes, he is a little-known actor, but Xie Chengze is a well-known director. If the two of them are photographed and sent out, it will do more harm to Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t want to see Xie Chengze being bullied on the Internet!


    Soon Lu Yanzhou reached home. Father Lu and mother Lu were still waiting for him.


    Leaving aside the fact that their son fell in love with an older and fat man, father Lu and mother Lu are actually very happy recently ¡ª their youngest son has suddenly become very caring!


    ¡°You¡¯re quite happy today?¡± Father Lu questioned when he saw his son.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hide it either: ¡°I¡¯m happy! Today Xie Chengze added more scenes to me. He must have a good impression of me!¡±


    Seeing Lu Yanzhou so happy, father Lu and mother Lu looked at each other, both felt a little sympathy for their son.


    It definitely was not because Xie Chengze had a good impression of Lu Yanzhou that he added scenes to him. It should be because of the 50 million investment that he added more scenes to him.


    Their son wants to chase Xie Chengze, but in Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes, their son is a guy who has a gold master behind him and brings money into the crew¡­Xie Chengze definitely doesn¡¯t like their son!


    When their son¡¯s performance while filming was not satisfactory, Xie Chengze would dislike their son even more!


    Father Lu looked at his son kindly: ¡°Yes, he must also like you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that he doesn¡¯t want to talk to me much¡­Dad, how did you court mom back then?¡± Lu Yanzhou moved closer to Father Lu.


    Father Lu didn¡¯t court mother Lu very much back then. They were introduced to each other¡­but father Lu still gave his son some messy ideas.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± His dad is fooling him into doing something stupid!


    It¡¯s a pity that his dad didn¡¯t know that he had already succeeded.


    After performing a show with his father, Lu Yanzhou went back to his room early to sleep. The next day, he went to the set early again.


    His home is an hour¡¯s drive away from the production set, so he has been eating with his parents every day recently¡­When Lu Yanzhou arrived at the production set, it was already past eight o¡¯clock, and some actors were already there.


    Sci-fi films require a lot of money for special effects. When Xie Chengze was making movies, he tried to save money in other aspects, including the actors¡¯ salaries.


    According to the setting, the protagonist of this movie is a person in his 30s or 40s. Xie Chengze hired an average-looking actor who had played supporting roles for many years, so the salary was only 300,000.


    For the rest of the protagonist team, Xie Chengze also hired little-known actors.


    What¡¯s more, he also asked his parents, who worked in the Film and Television Academy, to invite a large number of students from the Film and Television Academy to perform as the group extra at a low price of 100 a day on the grounds of ¡®letting students study in a large filming crew¡¯.


    Ordinary extras would not be able to perform well if they shoot with a green screen, but the people from the Film and Television Academy¡­Most of them have no problem!


    As for being too handsome and beautiful¡­The people in their movie are more or less mutated, so just ask the makeup artist to make them look ugly!


    And this is also the reason why the original owner easily got a character.


    These actors are not well-known, so they have no arrogance.


    Their news is not as good as Producer Wei¡¯s. They don¡¯t know about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ¡®gold master¡¯, so their attitude towards Lu Yanzhou is very good.


    After all, because Lu Yanzhou stayed on the set a few days earlier, he is not only familiar with the crew, but also knows about the various situations of the set, so he can give them some advice.


    The most important thing is¡­Looking at Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes, they all think that Lu Yanzhou is a rich person.


    Handsome and rich, there is no harm in befriending him!


    Xie Chengze was a little unhappy seeing that Lu Yanzhou got along with others so quickly, so after thinking about it, he could only say to Lu Yanzhou with a cold face: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I have something to tell you, come with me.¡±


    Xie Chengze took Lu Yanzhou to his lounge, which was very small, with only a table, a chair, and a folded single bed.


    After calling the person in, Xie Chengze hesitated. It suddenly occurred to him that he had no reason to call Lu Yanzhou in¡­


    Just as he was thinking of a reason, he was already kissed.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hugged him and kissed him for a long while before asking: ¡°AZe, what do you want me to do?¡± Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze must be jealous, but he is not a fool, he naturally knew that he shouldn¡¯t expose it.


    Xie Chengze coughed lightly: ¡°I have something I want to ask you¡­do you have any other work recently?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°No, I only need to shoot scenes from your movie now on, so I can always accompany you in the crew.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Is Lu Yanzhou too little work? His gold master doesn¡¯t seem to care much about his career?


    No wonder Lu Yanzhou wanted to hook up with him.


    Although he has no money, he knows a lot of people, so there are many filming opportunities in his hands!


    Thinking about it, Xie Chengze intends to ask around to see if there are any suitable characters for Lu Yanzhou to play!


    While still thinking about it, Xie Chengze was kissed again.


    Lu Yanzhou firmly believed that Xie Chengze was jealous, so in this case, he must kiss him a few more times to coax him.


    During the gap between kissing, Lu Yanzhou also said: ¡°AZe, I wanted to kiss you outside before, do you also want to kiss me too? Is that why you called me in?¡±


    The two kissed for a long time in the lounge before leaving, but they didn¡¯t talk much.


    After leaving the lounge, he thought of what Lu Yanzhou had said before, and then thought of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s meaningful smile¡­although he realized that Lu Yanzhou had already known that he was jealous, Xie Chengze was still expressionless.


    It¡¯s just that his face is inevitably a little red ¡ª the matter between him and Lu Yanzhou is like having an affair, which is quite exciting.


    As for Lu Yanzhou, he was very calm.


    When people outside saw this scene, they were a little worried about Lu Yanzhou ¡ª Director Xie¡¯s face turned red with anger, did he feel dissatisfied with Lu Yanzhou?


    They didn¡¯t know about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past, but they had already heard about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s entry into the crew with money.


    They heard that Director Xie dislikes this kind of behavior the most!

 CH 134

    Xie Chengze is not superstitious, but the whole opening ceremony has everything that should be there just for peace of mind.


    After the opening ceremony, the filming officially began.


    The filming of this movie was almost all carried out in this studio. Xie Chengze has asked people to build an ¡®underground city¡¯ here since last year. As for the scenes on land¡­they have to use the green screen during filming, then use special effects after.


    A special effects company has already contacted Xie Chengze. He is very stingy when it comes to the remuneration of the actors, so he hires actors who are not well-known, but he is really willing to spend money on special effects.


    The filming task was quite hard. This movie was originally a script that Xie Chengze had thought of and then asked the screenwriter to perfect it. It was what he wanted to shoot, so he grasped it inside and out.


    Therefore, the actors worked hard, but Xie Chengze worked even harder.


    Seeing him so busy, Lu Yanzhou was very worried. Therefore, he could only try to stop him, for example, seeing that it was getting late, he urged Chengze to stop work early.


    Xie Chengze needs to rest! He needs to take good care of his body!


    ¡°Director Xie, you¡¯ve been filming for four hours straight, it¡¯s past lunch time now. Let¡¯s take a break and let everyone have something to eat!¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze, who had been busy all morning, and hurried to stop him.


    Xie Chengze frowned. In others¡¯ eyes, he is a good-tempered director. He usually doesn¡¯t get angry with others and always smiles. When actors make mistakes, he will explain to them their mistakes.


    However, he himself knows that he was unhappy, very unhappy.


    For example, this morning, he couldn¡¯t get the result he wanted, so he was in a bad mood.


    Lu Yanzhou came over, telling him to rest, so his mood was even worse.


    However, he soon felt better ¡ª Lu Yanzhou followed closely, lowering his voice, saying, ¡°Director Xie, the food I prepared for you is going to be cold. Let¡¯s go to the lounge and have some.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou prepares meals every day for him, but let¡¯s not talk about that, the lounge¡­


    These days, every time he went to the lounge with Lu Yanzhou, he would be kissed by Lu Yanzhou!


    The irritability in Xie Chengze¡¯s heart disappeared. He tried his best to suppress the smile on his face, then went to the lounge with Lu Yanzhou with a straight face.


    Then¡­not surprisingly, he was kissed by Lu Yanzhou. Lu Yanzhou also fed him.


    He was a little uncomfortable about this, but he couldn¡¯t bear to refuse, so he shamelessly asked Lu Yanzhou to feed him¡­


    After he took a bite, Lu Yanzhou would kiss him again.


    Lu Yanzhou is too good at flirting and caring!


    When he was with Lu Yanzhou, he felt that he was well taken care of in every aspect, so he was always distracted.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze made out for a while, then he said: ¡°AZe, you should sleep for a while, so that you would feel refreshed in the afternoon.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s sleep quality has always been bad.


    Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll sing for you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to lie down, gently pressed and rubbed Xie Chengze¡¯s acupuncture points, then at the same time, sang to Xie Chengze: ¡°Sleep, sleep, my baby¡­¡±


    A deep male voice rang in his ears. Xie Chengze thought he would not be able to fall asleep, but on the contrary, he fell asleep quickly.


    After Xie Chengze fell asleep, Lu Yanzhou went outside and found the male protagonist who hadn¡¯t captured the feeling Xie Chengze wanted throughout this morning: ¡°Brother Fang, Director Xie asked me to tell you his thoughts.¡±


    ¡°What did Director Xie say?¡± the leading actor named Fang Hua immediately asked.


    As an actor who has never been popular, Fang Hua attaches great importance to this movie and is very dedicated when filming.


    In the original trajectory, because the original owner made some trouble, the film¡¯s investors withdrew their funds one after another, so Xie Chengze even had to lose money. At that time, Fang Hua didn¡¯t want to lose such a good opportunity, so he helped speak up for Xie Chengze, saying that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t do anything to Lu Yanzhou¡­¡­Then he became a victim of cyberbullying, and then he never got a role again.


    He is married and has children, so he needs to support a family. He has no education, so he has no choice but to become a military substitute.


    Lu Yanzhou had a good impression of this leading actor.


    He followed Xie Chengze all the time, so he knew enough about Xie Chengze. He explained Xie Chengze¡¯s thoughts to Fang Hua, he even acted it himself.


    He was originally not good at acting, but he has experienced a lot of worlds, seen more people and things, so acting is no longer difficult for him.


    Especially since Fang Hua couldn¡¯t give out that kind of emotion, so he had to see it in person.


    Lu Yanzhou acted it out on the spot.


    Fang Hua was shocked when he saw it: ¡°Little Lu, I didn¡¯t expect your acting skills to be so good!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I have been following Director Xie and also think a lot about the script. After pondering a lot, I came up with some ideas.¡±


    ¡°This is not something that can be figured out just by thinking about the script! Little Lu, you are very talented. Given time, you will definitely become popular!¡± Said Fang Hua.


    ¡°I will work hard!¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed.


    Fang Hua asked: ¡°Little Lu, Director Xie doesn¡¯t seem to like you very much, is there some misunderstanding between you?¡±


    ¡°Is there such a thing?¡± Lu Yanzhou was taken aback. How was Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t like him, he obviously likes him very much. These days he always asks him when can he stay over.


    He also wanted to move here and be inseparable from Xie Chengze, but his parents always disagreed¡­


    ¡°I see that Director Xie always frowns when he sees you,¡± Fang Hua said.


    This is a misunderstanding! Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Director Xie took a fancy to me, so he has high demands on me, ahem, actually, I have been following Director Xie, learning to be a director. Director Xie regards me as an apprentice.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said this in order to make it easier to openly be with Xie Chengze anytime.


    For Xie Chengze¡¯s movie, he will definitely do his best to perfect it!


    Fang Hua suddenly realized: ¡°So that¡¯s it!¡±


    No wonder Director Xie seemed to dislike Lu Yanzhou very much, but he always took Lu Yanzhou to the lounge!


    It turned out that the two had a teacher-student relationship!


    When Lu Yanzhou and Fang Hua were talking, other actors were also present.


    Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, everyone said, ¡°So that¡¯s the case. No wonder you followed Director Xie all day!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you know Director Xie¡¯s movie very well, right? If we have any questions, can we ask you?¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, this is the first time for me to cooperate with Director Xie. Does Director Xie have any taboos?¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou answered them one by one, and said that if they had any questions about the script, they could come to him!


    Xie Chengze seemed to have a good temper, but he wasn¡¯t the type to get along with others. In fact, everyone was a little afraid of him for no reason, so they didn¡¯t dare to get too close to him.


    Now that they can ask Lu Yanzhou, it¡¯s quite good.


    So, when Xie Chengze, who took a nap, was ready to continue working in high spirits, he discovered that the relationship between the actors of the crew and Lu Yanzhou got better¡­


    Did something he didn¡¯t know happen?


    Xie Chengze went to ask Producer Wei.


    Producer Wei said: ¡°Old Xie, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you accepted Lu Yanzhou as your apprentice? But he is indeed very good, completely different from the rumors!¡±


    Producer Wei knew a lot of people. At that time, others told him that Lu Yanzhou will always film for three days, fishing for two days, then post on the internet for two days.


    The Lu Yanzhou he knew now was completely different from what he had heard about!


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± When did he accept Lu Yanzhou as his apprentice?


    Lu Yanzhou is obviously his boyfriend!


    However, he can¡¯t tell people this, their relationship is a secret!


    Besides, what Lu Yanzhou promised him before about discussing the script with him at night, is still so far in the future¡­Could it be that what he gave was not enough?


    Fortunately, he recently got a good resource that can be given to Lu Yanzhou. By then¡­Lu Yanzhou and him should do more than just kissing, right?

 CH 135

    After the film crew regarded Lu Yanzhou as Xie Chengze¡¯s apprentice, Lu Yanzhou began to teach people in the film crew openly.


    He taught very well, which made the progress of filming much faster, and also made the crew believe that he and Xie Chengze are mentors and apprentices.


    Some people even feel it¡¯s a pity that Lu Yanzhou, who has such a handsome face, plans to become a director in the future.


    Today, when Lu Yanzhou returned home, his parents were still waiting for him in the living room.


    Recently, he left early and returned late, and ¡®worked¡¯ very seriously, but his relationship with his parents has become a little closer.


    The original owner used to be impatient with his parents. Even when he was eating with his parents, he would play with his mobile phone, but he was different. He would talk seriously with his parents every morning and evening.


    After cooking, he will send a portion to his parents.


    Father Lu and mother Lu recently felt that their youngest son was very caring. Not mentioning other things, let¡¯s just talk about the dishes that their youngest son cooked for them. It was all special meals that preserve health, and it was also specially cooked until tender to suit the taste of the elderly.


    This is their son thinking about them!


    If Lu Yanzhou knew what they were thinking, he would definitely be a little embarrassed. The dishes he cooks are indeed healthy, but in fact his main consideration is Xie Chengze. As for making the dishes softer or something¡­It must be because it was sent back in an insulated box.


    In fact, he was still worried that this would affect the taste¡­It¡¯s just that father Lu and mother Lu have filters for him, no matter what he does, they think he is very good.


    ¡°Zhouzhou, dad bought the special effects company that you wanted, and all the procedures have been completed.¡± Father Lu said to Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Dad, you are so good! You are the best dad in the world!¡± Lu Yanzhou immediately said.


    Lu Yanzhou just wanted a company that could do special effects, but he didn¡¯t expect his father to directly buy more than half of the shares of the best special effects company in the world today!


    The special effects company was the one that had contacted Xie Chengze about doing special effects for his sci-fi movie.


    ¡°Stinky boy¡­¡± Father Lu was very happy when he heard his son¡¯s praise.


    He knew that his son wanted this company because of Xie Chengze. Although he helped his son accomplish this, he felt a little uncomfortable at first, but now that his son is acting like a spoiled child¡­The discomfort in father Lu¡¯s heart has long since disappeared: ¡°The company was given to you, you have to take good care of it! But don¡¯t forget the promise you gave to dad. Don¡¯t let Xie Chengze know that the company is yours.¡±


    ¡°Dad, I will definitely not let him know!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Only then did father Lu feel relieved.


    Even if his son has special preferences, he is still his own son¡­Father Lu is not angry anymore, but he still doesn¡¯t want his son to be with Xie Chengze.


    Introducing Xie Chengze as his daughter-in-law would make him feel weird.


    The three of them talked for a while, then Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, I have an idea about my pocket money.¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu are very generous. They give the original owner two million as pocket money every month. The main reason is that it is not enough for the original owner to spend¡­As long as the consumption is reasonable, he will just swipe their secondary card.


    Well, luxury cars and famous watches are all reasonable consumption in their eyes.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t we agreed that I won¡¯t give you pocket money for the time being!¡± Father Lu said.


    ¡°Dad, I don¡¯t want to spend this money. I have other ideas. Getting along with Xie Chengze these days, I found that he has been funding children who can¡¯t afford education¡­I also want to do charity!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze filmed a movie before in the mountains. At that time, Xie Chengze met some children who were not doing well, so he spent money to help them with education.


    Lu Yanzhou knew about this by accident, so he now uses this as an example.


    He needs to do charity to accumulate merit.


    It¡¯s just that although the original owner is a rich second generation, he has been supported by his parents and has no assets of his own.


    Recently, he not only tried to get close to Xie Chengze, but he also tried to please his parents. He didn¡¯t have enough time, so he didn¡¯t bother about this matter.


    ¡°You want to use your pocket money for charity?¡± Father Lu was a little surprised.


    Their Lu family has always done charity too. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s older brothers and sisters often attend related activities, but Lu Yanzhou has never paid attention to this matter before.


    ¡°Yes. Dad, I want to do charity! I never thought about what I want to do in the future, but now I have a clear idea of what I want to do in the future. I want to start a company and make money to give back to society.¡± Lu Yanzhou stated seriously, his eyes seemed to glow.


    Father Lu was stunned. Although he loved his son, he also knew that his son was just an ordinary person who couldn¡¯t be more ordinary, even a little lazy.


    But now, his son has a dream?


    Can he really persist?


    His son¡¯s love affair, except for the bad partner¡­everything else is fine?


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°Dad, those cars in my garage, and my luxury items¡­I plan to donate them all for a charity auction!¡±


    ¡°Are you serious?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Lu Yanzhou was serious. Then, he briefly talked about the things he planned to give to charity auctions.


    Father Lu became more and more surprised: ¡°There are many limited editions. You have spent a lot of effort to get them, do you really want to give them away?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Yes. I don¡¯t like these things much. Now that I have a goal in life, I feel that they are all meaningless external things.¡±


    Father Lu has always been indifferent to luxury goods, so he has never understood why his son spends so much money on these so-called ¡®limited edition¡¯ things.


    Now that his son doesn¡¯t bother with these things¡­it seems pretty good?


    Father Lu thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Do you want to do this yourself, or do you want dad to help you?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, please help me, I¡¯m too busy!¡±


    Father Lu was a little speechless: ¡°What are you busy with! Aren¡¯t you just helping Xie Chengze on the set?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Tomorrow I will be filming my part, and I also have to manage the company!¡±


    Father Lu: ¡°¡­¡± Father Lu was embarrassed to scold Lu Yanzhou since they had just talked about the special effects company¡­Although they bought his shares, Lu Yanzhou has no management right for the time being, the most he can do is to give them some advice or something.


    ¡°By the way, dad, it takes too much time to come and go. I¡¯ll be busy in a few days, can I stay in the crew?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at his father pitifully: ¡°Dad, please!¡±


    Father Lu said: ¡°Do you think we are annoying and don¡¯t want to live with us?¡±


    ¡°How is this possible! Dad, I actually want to go to Xie Chengze at night to try¡­In the set now, he only treats me as an apprentice, teaching me about directing all day long. If this continues, after the movie is finished, there will still be no progress!¡± Lu Yanzhou looked depressed, ¡°on the contrary, directing knowledge¡­I think if I learn a little much. I will be able to become a teacher myself.¡±


    A movie is only about two hours, so the shooting time is generally not very long.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s sci-fi film was all shot in a studio, so they didn¡¯t need to go everywhere to film, therefore, it could be finished in more than a month.


    On the contrary, it¡¯s the special effects after that¡­No one knows how long it will take.


    Seeing that father Lu was still a little unhappy, Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you support me?¡±


    Father Lu also knew that it was not appropriate to let his son go home early every day, so he thought about it and said, ¡°Well, then you have to come back every other day.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, dad!¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Seeing his son happy, father Lu laughed in his heart.


    His son hadn¡¯t done anything excessive now, so Xie Chengze could bear it. If his son did something¡­He had inquired, Xie Chengze was a straight man!


    There was a little fresh meat who threw himself into Xie Chengze¡¯s arms previously, but he was scolded by Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou was in a very good mood after getting his parents approval.


    Tomorrow night, he can go to Xie Chengze to discuss the script!


    As for the special effects company¡­That night, Lu Yanzhou contacted them through the person arranged by his father, and then sent them the things he made some time ago.


    If he wants to make the best special effects, he needs to upgrade the current equipment. The current equipment is barely enough.


    Lu Yanzhou fell asleep after sending the things. When he woke up the next day¡­he found that the other party had left him no less than a hundred messages.


    There is a time difference, so when he falls asleep, it happens to be their working hours.


    He immediately chatted with the other party, and at the same time said that he wanted to participate in the special effects production, well, it was only Xie Chengze¡¯s project.


    He has no interest in other projects.


    The special effects company hadn¡¯t been listed yet but the employees inside were quite worried about the major shareholder change this time, lest the new shareholders would come up with some messy ideas.


    Turns out¡­the new shareholder is a technical talent? After buying the company, he only want to participate in one project in the company?


    Is this a rich person chasing his dreams? They like it!


    Lu Yanzhou formed a group and chatted with the other party in English. He didn¡¯t stop talking until he came to the set.


    Then, when he came to the crew, he first saw Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze is setting up the scene.


    The underground city they built had already been used to shoot the underground city where the male protagonist was born. Now they will start filming the underground city where the character he played was born, so the layout inside had to be completely changed.


    ¡°Director Xie!¡± Lu Yanzhou called out, then immediately went over to help.


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help smiling when he saw him.


    As long as he saw Lu Yanzhou, he was happy.


    Although Lu Yanzhou was with him purely for resources, and even if Lu Yanzhou was still involved with someone else, he still didn¡¯t want to let go of Lu Yanzhou.


    He was at most just a passer-by in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s life, so he had to seize the opportunity.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze said: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you¡¯re just in time. I have something to tell you. A variety show had looked for me and asked me to participate in their show, you will go with me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have much reputation, so Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t find any good resources for him.


    It just so happened that a popular variety show asked him to be a guest¡­He originally didn¡¯t plan to participate in this kind of variety show, but since he can bring Lu Yanzhou with him, he¡¯ll go.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Yanzhou was very happy. Since Xie Chengze was going to participate in the show, he would definitely follow!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t forget to bring him with him when he was going to go to a show, so Lu Yanzhou also wanted to tell Xie Chengze the good news from his side: ¡°Director Xie, are you going to shoot my scenes today? I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to go back in time, so I¡¯ll be staying here tonight!¡±


    Xie Chengze was overjoyed and coughed lightly: ¡°I¡¯ll ask old Wei to arrange a room for you.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°No need, I won¡¯t stay here every day. Director Xie, don¡¯t you live in a standard room? I¡¯ll go to your place to make do for one night.¡±


    Xie Chengze was dumbfounded. Lu Yanzhou was too bold, he even said in public that he wanted to share a room with him!


    Isn¡¯t he afraid that others will notice?


    Xie Chengze subconsciously looked at the people around him, but everyone was calm. No one thought there was any problem at all.


    The main reason is¡­If there is a problem, it will definitely be covered up. Now that Lu Yanzhou say it publicly like this, it means there is no problem!


    At most, the apprentice just wants to study hard in the same room as his mentor, so that¡¯s fine.


    Xie Chengze was well-known in the industry for his reputation, so no one doubted him at all.


    Xie Chengze looked around, then finally replied, ¡°Okay.¡±


    After speaking, Xie Chengze was a little nervous.


    Is Lu Yanzhou planning to throw him into his arms? When the time comes¡­what will he do?


    He was not interested in love before, so he had no experience. He didn¡¯t know if he could satisfy Lu Yanzhou.


    Although Xie Chengze struggled with this, he was completely focused after filming started.


    For this movie, he can get a box office commission. According to the agreement, the higher the box office, the more commission he will get.


    He wants to make more money, so¡­he can make Lu Yanzhou stay by his side for a while longer!


    He can also invest in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s next movie!


    During this period of time, Lu Yanzhou has been teaching people how to act on the set, but his own role has never started filming.


    But today, they¡¯re going to start filming his scene.


    The overall tone of the film is a bit gray, so the clothes of the actors are also dark.


    Only the role played by Lu Yanzhou is different.


    He was originally a little annoying young master who caused trouble for the protagonist, but now Xie Chengze has changed him into a little sun that everyone loves in the underground city.


    So among the crowd of ashen and disfigured people, Lu Yanzhou not only put on photogenic makeup, but also wore bright yellow clothes.


    The protagonist and his party were rescued by people in this safe zone. After entering the safe zone, they immediately saw Lu Yanzhou singing on a small stage surrounded by a crowd.


    This is a very dazzling young man with no darkness in his eyes. He sings a soothing song, which instantly heals the traumatized heart of a tired traveler.


    The young master played by Lu Yanzhou has innocent eyes and brows, which fit perfectly with his personality.


    ¡®Chengcheng¡¯ in the last world was like this, that¡¯s why in the apocalypse, he was very different.


    Lu Yanzhou acted very well. When Xie Chengze filmed Lu Yanzhou, he was full of emotion. Lu Yanzhou in his camera was more dazzling than usual.


    Besides that, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s song is very great!


    Xie Chengze planned to find someone to write a song, but now that Lu Yanzhou sang this song, this song fits perfectly¡­


    What Lu Yanzhou sang was the most popular song in the last apocalyptic world. It was full of hope, so it fully met Xie Chengze¡¯s requirements.


    This song has a soothing effect. After he sang it, the whole crew fell silent.

 CH 136

    Songs that are widely sung in the apocalypse are naturally not very difficult to sing.


    The most important thing is that Lu Yanzhou has sung this song many times in his previous life, so he could sing it very proficiently.


    At that time, they were rebuilding their homes in the ruins. At night, everyone would sing together, looking forward to a better future¡­


    Recalling the scene at that time, when Lu Yanzhou sang, his expression became more gentle.


    Xie Chengze looked at the camera, his hands trembling slightly.


    So perfect!


    His heart was beating fast, his whole body trembled.


    During this period of time, he has been thinking about the soundtrack and theme song of this movie. He has found some suitable ones, but he always feels that there is still something missing.


    Hearing this song, he knew what he was missing, hope.


    This song is full of hope, making people unable to hold back their tears.


    After he changed the script, he also thought that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s attire should be dazzling. Only if he¡¯s dazzling enough can people see him in the crowd at a glance, making the audience think that he should be loved by the people in the underground city, but now¡­¡­now¡­¡­


    Xie Chengze suddenly called to stop.


    All the people who were serious about filming still couldn¡¯t get rid of their emotions from the scenes. Everyone froze for a moment before looking at Xie Chengze.


    In their hearts, they also had the same feeling as Xie Chengze ¡ª it was so perfect!


    During the recent period, Lu Yanzhou has been teaching others how to act as Xie Chengze¡¯s apprentice. Most people have no objection, but a small number of people think that he has no work at all, so he is not worthy of teaching others.


    Some people are not satisfied with the fact that Xie Chengze added scenes to him¡­Lu Yanzhou originally only played a small role in the movie, but now Xie Chengze added more scenes to it¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s role became very brilliant!


    It¡¯s also very impressive too!


    One must know that in the movie, the second male lead, third female lead, first female lead, second female lead and the others who have been following the protagonist not only have to put on disfigured makeup, but also wear radiation protection suits when they go outside the city¡­People who watch the movie may not necessarily remember their face!


    In fact, the actors Xie Chengze found were all in their 30s and 40s, so they didn¡¯t really rely on their looks for a living.


    This led to Lu Yanzhou being responsible for the beauty of this movie.


    Seeing such a good opportunity given to someone who is not famous at all, who can accept it?


    However, now seeing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s performance¡­


    Director Xie really knows how to pick someone, ah!


    Right now, they are all convinced by Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou!


    After Xie Chengze called to stop, because this scene was very important, Producer Wei, who had been watching from the side, said excitedly: ¡°Old Xie, this shot is really good! Should we shoot some more close-ups? Old Xie, you have a good eye. You found such a good seedling like little Lu, and this song is also so good!¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, but said, ¡°No, this scene needs to be re-shot.¡±


    ¡°Reshoot?¡± Producer Wei was puzzled.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Yes, reshoots are required. No bright yellow clothes, no makeup, no hairstyle. He is already perfect!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is already great. He doesn¡¯t need to be highlighted by external objects, nor use external objects to highlight him.


    He is a child who grew up in the underground city. Even if he was lucky and didn¡¯t mutate due to radiation, he would not pay too much attention to his appearance.


    All he needs is a white T-shirt and plain jeans.


    Because standing there, he is hope.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s styling that took a long time to do was now all removed, and his hairstyle was also deliberately messed up.


    Then he changed into a wide white T-shirt and an ordinary jean, looking much younger.


    Standing on the stage again, Lu Yanzhou once again sang that hope song from the apocalypse.


    He knew that Xie Chengze was looking at him intently now. Reminiscing the past, his mental force subconsciously merged into it¡­


    The singing is more contagious!


    This time it was really finished. Because Xie Chengze arranged a lot of camera positions to shoot together, there was no need to reshoot or anything.


    When the filming was over, everyone felt a sense of loss.


    Fang Hua said: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, your performance is amazing! When you taught me how to act, I thought that you were so fierce that you might not be able to act as a simple boy¡­but just now¡­I think you are more innocent and cute than my son!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Brother, what do you mean by that? You treat me like a son?


    Producer Wei rushed forward at this time: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, what is the name of the song you just sung? Who wrote it? Can you buy the copyright?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°The person who wrote the song has passed away, and the copyright is completely open. The crew can directly use this song, others can also directly use it in the future.¡±


    The lyrics and composition of this song were completed by several people. However, they all died in the zombie tide.


    Lu Yanzhou said so but Producer Wei was still not at ease, so he took Lu Yanzhou to discuss the copyright of this song, then also asked Lu Yanzhou to sing this sing as the theme song.


    During the conversation, Producer Wei also asked Xie Chengze: ¡°Old Xie, do you have any objections?¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± What can he say? Lu Yanzhou has already fascinated him completely!


    He even¡­wanted to add another scene to Lu Yanzhou.


    But it¡¯s impossible to add too much. At most, he¡¯ll just have to perfect Lu Yanzhou¡¯s role. What¡¯s more, he can make Lu Yanzhou die a little more heroically.


    At that time, he and screenwriter Zhang will definitely be scolded to death, but it will be good for Lu Yanzhou.


    They are filming a new scene today. It¡¯s more difficult to shoot this scene due to the large number of people, so Producer Wei didn¡¯t arrange that many scenes to film today.


    Even though it took some time to change Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance, they still finished filming early. If it was in the past, Xie Chengze would definitely bring up the later scenes, but today¡­


    It was only four o¡¯clock in the afternoon when Xie Chengze said: ¡°Today¡¯s filming went well, let¡¯s call it a day. I¡¯m inviting everyone to a meal!¡±


    He originally only wanted to invite Lu Yanzhou, but he was afraid of being talked about, so he decided to invite everyone together.


    ¡°Thank you for your generosity!¡± Everyone said one after another, clamoring to slaughter Xie Chengze.


    However, they think too much.


    This studio is in the suburbs, there aren¡¯t even any shit nearby, so there¡¯s no big restaurants at all!


    In the end, everyone went to a small restaurant and ate some hard whole chicken and duck dishes.


    Most of the actors in their crew have to use strength, and the few actresses are also the kind who have to fight with the male protagonist, so no one was on diet, therefore, everyone eats to their heart¡¯s content. At most, they are worried about Lu Yanzhou ¡ª is it okay for Lu Yanzhou to eat like this and become fat?


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t take it seriously: ¡°I don¡¯t rely on my looks!¡±


    That¡¯s right, he is actually a capable person. He also seems like he is going to change his career to become a director¡­What a waste of his face.


    After everyone had eaten, they returned to the hotel.


    During the meal, Lu Yanzhou took a picture and sent it to his parents, saying that it was a dinner party for the film crew and he would not go back today.


    That¡¯s¡­the other production crews ate until nine or ten o¡¯clock for dinner, but their production team finished eating at seven o¡¯clock.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s luggage was in his RV, so he happily took his luggage and entered Xie Chengze¡¯s room.


    This hotel is very ordinary. There are no suites in it, it is all standard rooms and double rooms.


    Xie Chengze came early and asked for the largest room on the top floor of the hotel, which was a standard room.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly said that he wanted to stay and live with him, so Xie Chengze didn¡¯t have time to tidy up the room. He was a little embarrassed when he entered the door: ¡°My room is a bit messy¡­¡±


    That¡¯s what he said, but in fact his room is not messy at all. It¡¯s quite clean, it¡¯s just that he has a lot of things, so not only was the table full of things, the vacant bed also had cameras and other things on it.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this room? It¡¯s much cleaner than mine.¡± Lu Yanzhou smile.


    Xie Chengze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Lu Yanzhou said, then he said, ¡°The hotel is average, the accommodation conditions are not so good but bear with it.¡±


    Xie Chengze has come into contact with many big-name celebrities, and Lu Yanzhou¡¯s usual food and clothing expenses are not worse than them at all.


    The price of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s RV was even higher than the prices of many first-line stars¡¯ RVs.


    He was afraid that it would be bad if Lu Yanzhou disliked the hotel.


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou thinks this hotel is very good. After all, he has been living in the apocalypse in his previous life: ¡°The hotel is very good. Director Xie, a single night is worth a thousand gold, don¡¯t keep talking about this.¡±


    When Xie Chengze heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words, he felt a little uncomfortable and tangled up ¡ª Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t wait to do it?


    Lu Yanzhou really¡­doesn¡¯t reject doing unspoken rules at all?


    But¡­but¡­he¡¯s not very good at it. He doesn¡¯t know how to do it.


    Xie Chengze was at a loss.


    Lu Yanzhou had already discovered that the Xie Chengze in this world was a little shy.


    He simply leaned forward and kissed his boyfriend: ¡°Do you want to take a shower together?¡±


    In fact, Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry to do something with Xie Chengze. After experiencing so many worlds, he was not so eager for these things.


    He asked his parents to let him stay on the set mainly because Xie Chengze asked several times.


    But since he is here, it¡¯s a must to tease his boyfriend!


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Then let¡¯s go together.¡± Well, Xie Chengze is still Xie Chengze, very active.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze went into the bathroom together, then he kissed Xie Chengze.


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze found that Lu Yanzhou was very proficient, no matter before or after, he was very good at it!


    What¡¯s more, he always thought that Lu Yanzhou was the one below. After all, Lu Yanzhou was very virtuous before, and in their circle, there were always more bottoms.


    As a result, Lu Yanzhou took the initiative the whole time.


    Of course he doesn¡¯t mind it either.


    It¡¯s just that he has been trying to hide all the time, not wanting Lu Yanzhou to see the fat on his stomach. However, Lu Yanzhou seems to like it very much. He is not allowed to block it with his hands.


    Xie Chengze was lying on the bed, being served comfortably by Lu Yanzhou. Lu Yanzhou was also looking at him with a tender gaze¡­


    Xie Chengze suddenly asked: ¡°How many men have you slept with before?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°You are the only one I ever had! Don¡¯t wrong me!¡±


    Xie Chengze was stunned: ¡°Really?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Of course, I only liked you.¡± After speaking, Lu Yanzhou leaned forward and kissed him again.


    Xie Chengze was very comfortable being kissed, then he suddenly realized that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master might be a rich woman!


    He had wondered before why Lu Yanzhou dared to share a room with him ¡ª Lu Yanzhou wasn¡¯t afraid that his gold master would be angry?


    Now he knew the reason. If Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master was a rich woman and she firmly believed that Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t like men, then she would not doubt anything.


    It turned out that Lu Yanzhou was bisexual!


    Xie Chengze has always looked down on such cheaters, but for some reason, when it came to Lu Yanzhou¡­he forgave him.


    He is even willing to have an affair with the other party in secret.


    He is simply crazy!


    Xie Chengze, who felt that he was crazy, lay down on the bed, feeling a little disappointed: ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep. You can sleep in the other bed.¡±


    ¡°Why! I want to share a bed with you.¡± Lu Yanzhou squeezed onto Xie Chengze¡¯s bed.


    The bed was 1.3 meters, a bit small, but it wasn¡¯t like the two of them couldn¡¯t lie down.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I¡¯m so fat¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not fat, I like to hug you.¡± Lu Yanzhou laughed and pulled him into his arms.


    Xie Chengze was in a daze when he was hugged tightly.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting is really too perfect!


    The discomfort in his heart disappeared instantly because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s behavior.

 CH 137

    The next day, Xie Chengze woke up in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arms.


    Lu Yanzhou, who was hugging him, kissed him without opening his eyes after he moved.


    Xie Chengze was a little dazed. The relationship between him and Lu Yanzhou felt exactly like an ordinary couple.


    ¡°Are you feeling uncomfortable?¡± Lu Yanzhou finally woke up after kissing Xie Chengze several times.


    Xie Chengze suddenly regained his senses, so he said: ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Probably because he is fatter and more fleshy, he didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable.


    ¡°If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me. If there is anything else to do later, I¡¯ll do it. You should rest more¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou muttered, then got out of bed to go to the toilet.


    Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. He picked up the mobile phone next to him.


    As a result, after looking for a while, Xie Chengze suddenly sat up.


    He had high hopes for this movie, so when he was looking for someone to do special effects, he found the best company.


    That company was so busy that they didn¡¯t pay much attention to his project, and he may have asked a bit too much¡­they hadn¡¯t given him any clips he asked the other party to do before.


    Xie Chengze planned to go abroad after the filming was finished, then ask them in person. However, last night, they sent a video, saying that it was a trial for his film.


    Seeing that video, Xie Chengze¡¯s heart beat faster!


    This video was really made according to his thoughts completely!


    He thought that the communication between the two parties was not smooth but he was completely wrong!


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou!¡± Xie Chengze called out.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou came out of the room and asked curiously.


    Xie Chengze got up from the bed: ¡°I¡¯ll show you the special effects I have someone to do. It¡¯s great! It¡¯s really great! I¡¯ll turn on the computer. It will be more interesting to watch it on the computer.¡±


    Xie Chengze hastily turned on the computer and started playing the video. After playing it, he looked at Lu Yanzhou with sparkling eyes: ¡°How is it? Isn¡¯t it great?¡±


    This video was made by Lu Yanzhou himself after he asked his assistant to buy all the equipment for him, so he knew every detail like the back of his hand.


    Because of this, he was not surprised when he saw this video, but the current Xie Chengze¡­


    Cough, Xie Chengze has no clothes on!


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were all on Xie Chengze: ¡°It¡¯s great, this special effect is very well done.¡±


    Then, Xie Chengze found that the other special effects are just as good!


    He wanted to surprise Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t realize that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s line of sight was wrong because he was full of excitement: ¡°I was always worried that the special effects would not produce the effect I wanted but now I can finally rest assured! If the special effects of this movie can guarantee this quality, the box office won¡¯t be low.¡±


    The plot and quality of his movie are not bad, but he can¡¯t guarantee that everyone will like it.


    However, if the special effects are good enough¡­There will surely be many audiences who will go to the movie just for the special effects.


    The box office of his movie won¡¯t be too low.


    ¡°The box office of your movie will definitely not be low.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze laughed, then hugged and kissed Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± he really wants to execute him on the spot, but if he were to really do that, Xie Chengze will definitely not be able to go to the set today!


    The two went to the set together.


    Xie Chengze was in a good mood, so he was so energetic when he was working that Lu Yanzhou had to keep reminding him to rest.


    However, his good mood only lasted until the evening ¡ª after dinner, Lu Yanzhou was leaving.


    ¡°My parents asked me to go back every other day,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°AZe, take a good rest tonight. See you tomorrow.¡±


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze again: ¡°AZe, we will be together forever after your movie is finished!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt that in a few days, he would be able to win over his parents and make them accept that he and Xie Chengze were together!


    In addition, he has been accumulating merits. When the movie is finished and he gets money, the merit will definitely be enough to heal Xie Chengze then.


    Xie Chengze was stunned. Lu Yanzhou¡­wanted to break up with his previous gold master?


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what Lu Yanzhou wanted to do or what he wanted, but no matter what¡­it¡¯s impossible for Lu Yanzhou to fall in love with him, a fat man who wasn¡¯t any young, at first sight.


    They finished filming early today, so it¡¯s not yet eight o¡¯clock¡­Xie Chengze thought about it and drove home.


    His home is also in this city, it was located in the city center. It usually takes him more than an hour to drive there from the suburbs, so he doesn¡¯t often go home.


    Since that happened last night, Xie Chengze suddenly wanted to go home and have a look.


    It was after nine o¡¯clock in the evening when Xie Chengze arrived home. His parents were still awake and were shooting a short video.


    Recently, short videos are very popular. Many celebrities started posting short videos on the platform, and his parents followed suit. They have millions of fans, so they also occasionally take some advertising.


    However, his parents were embarrassed to sell goods live, so their income is not much.


    ¡°AXe, why did you suddenly come back?¡± Father Xie and mother Xie were a little surprised.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°The crew finished work early today, so I thought I¡¯ll come back and have a look.¡±


    Father Xie said: ¡°You just came back now, how was that finishing early? Don¡¯t get too busy in the future, rest more, exercise more¡­¡±


    Mother Xie also asked Xie Chengze to take his medicine on time and go to the hospital for check-up on time.


    Xie Chengze agreed one by one, then suddenly said: ¡°Dad, mom, I¡¯m in a relationship.¡±


    Father Xie and mother Xie were a little surprised, then mother Xie also quickly said: ¡°I was thinking you look good recently, so you are in a relationship!¡±


    Father Xie was a little confused: ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you are an only child and don¡¯t plan to get married, why did you suddenly have a relationship?¡±


    Xie Chengze said very early on that he didn¡¯t want to get married. Father Xie and mother Xie also understand him.


    Firstly, they are in the entertainment industry and have seen everything that could be seen, secondly¡­Xie Chengze¡¯s condition is easily inherited.


    They can also accept it if he don¡¯t want to get married and don¡¯t want to have any children.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I have someone I like, so we are in a relationship. He is a man.¡±


    Father Xie and mother Xie were stunned for a moment, then quickly accepted. Mother Xie then said: ¡°Who is it? Could it be Little Wei?¡±


    Xie Chengze was speechless: ¡°Mom, what are you thinking. Old Wei likes women.¡±


    ¡°Then why hasn¡¯t he gotten married at such an old age?¡±


    ¡°He didn¡¯t find the right one.¡± Xie Chengze said. Producer Wei was busy with his career when he was young and didn¡¯t care about love, so now even if he wants to find one, when the girls see his bald head, they all stay away from him.


    He was also very busy and didn¡¯t want to find someone in the circle, so he also wasted away.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s not talk about him, who is your lover?¡±


    ¡°Mom, dad, I won¡¯t tell you who he is because his family still doesn¡¯t agree with our relationship now, so we can¡¯t make it public yet,¡± Xie Chengze smiled. ¡°But he looks handsome and cooks delicious food. You will surely like him.¡±


    Xie Chengze has had an ¡®affair¡¯ with Lu Yanzhou for a long time but he has never told anyone about it.


    He didn¡¯t know how to tell people.


    Now in front of his parents, he can finally speak.


    However, he can¡¯t tell them about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s real situation¡­


    Xie Chengze only told his parents what Lu Yanzhou had told him: ¡°His family is quite rich, so his parents are quite strict with him, but he still comes to see me every day¡­¡±


    The Lu Yanzhou that Xie Chengze was talking about was very good. When he mentioned Lu Yanzhou, his eyes were also full of tenderness.


    This situation made father Xie and mother Xie a little worried.


    Is there really such a good guy who likes their son?


    However, their son is in his thirties and is a great director who has seen countless people, he won¡¯t be deceived, right?


    Mother Xie finally said: ¡°Then when he is free, you should bring him back to see us.¡±


    Xie Chengze answered: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t know if there will be such a day, but he really hopes that all this is true.


    At the same time, after coaxing his parents, Lu Yanzhou started working on the special effects with great interest.


    What kind of things Xie Chengze wants, he knows best. The last world he lived in happened to be the apocalypse, so he is very good at making ruins!


    He can finish so many special effects in advance!


    Lu Yanzhou was staying up late without paying attention, so when he went to the set the next day, he kept yawning.


    Fortunately, he doesn¡¯t have many scenes, so he can go to the RV to catch up on sleep.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± What did Lu Yanzhou do last night?


    Although Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou have a secret relationship, they are still very serious while working.


    They were serious, so the rest of the crew were just as serious. With that, in just over a month, the filming of this movie was finished!


    Xie Chengze was editing while filming, so the editing was almost done too.


    After the filming was completed, everyone went their separate ways, but Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze did not separate.


    The two are going to the variety show that asks Xie Chengze to be a guest together.


    This variety show has become popular in the past two years. Every time, some stars will be invited to ask some questions and do some tasks.


    This variety show has a script, so the tasks are all just for the celebrities to show themselves, so many people are willing to participate.


    This time, the variety show invited three directors including Xie Chengze, and each of the three brought one person.


    One of the directors brought his daughter, who planned to enter the entertainment industry, and the other director and Xie Chengze brought an actor from his recent works.


    The directors all have a clear purpose, they just want to take the opportunity to praise someone or promote their latest works.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t do this kind of thing before, but now¡­for Lu Yanzhou, he came.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t think much about it. He just thought that Xie Chengze wanted to promote his new movie.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s investment in this movie was high, but most of the investment was used by Xie Chengze for special effects, so there was very little money for publicity.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s parents also made some short videos to help him promote the new drama recently¡­It¡¯s normal for Xie Chengze to personally promote it himself.


    Unfortunately, he doesn¡¯t own the special effects company alone, so he can¡¯t give Xie Chengze a discount. At most, he can only help Xie Chengze make the special effects better.

 CH 138

    Xie Chengze is actually not bad looking among the directors.


    Although he is fat, he has good facial features. He is definitely handsome among fat people.


    It¡¯s just that his parents are both famous handsome men and beautiful women. They are both in their fifties and sixties now but their figure is not out of shape at all. On the contrary, he is so fat, people will inevitably talk about him.


    The worst thing is, he was very fat because of taking medicine when he was a teenager. He also had acne on his face at that time, so he was ostracized. Not to mention, when his photo was put on the internet later on, a lot of people judged him, saying that he was the ugliest second-generation star.


    This made Xie Chengze dislike appearing in front of the camera.


    But this time he brought Lu Yanzhou to the TV station to record a program, so he had to hide his discomfort and took care of Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Please read this script carefully. The questions that the host will ask when the time comes are basically all here, so you can think of a good answer in advance¡­Of course not all the questions are listed above. Some of them will depend on your adaptability on the spot.¡±


    The two of them came to the TV station more than two hours in advance, so they got familiar with the shooting location by the way.


    The two hosts they cooperated with this time are not the troublemaker kind, so they will not target the guests who came to the show. Xie Chengze felt that there should be no problems during the filming, but he still asked a few more questions.


    ¡°Director Xie, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely perform well then.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    Seeing his motivated appearance, Xie Chengze was very happy, and said: ¡°This time the show is sponsored by Yuanchun Jewelry, a subsidiary of Lu¡¯s consortium. When the time comes, they may ask some related questions. You should find some information on the internet first.¡±


    Yuanchun Jewelry? Isn¡¯t this the jewelry company under his mother¡¯s name? Lu Yanzhou immediately said: ¡°I know Yuanchun Jewelry very well, there won¡¯t be any problem.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    While the two were talking, the father-daughter director duo came.


    The director¡¯s surname is Jiang, he is twenty years older than Xie Chengze. His daughter is young and beautiful. She has just been admitted to the Film and Television Academy, so she could be considered Xie Chengze¡¯s junior.


    Director Jiang brought his daughter to meet Xie Chengze, then told her to call Xie Chengze senior. His words are meant to let Xie Chengze help look after her a little. If there is a good opportunity, he could support his daughter.


    Xie Chengze agreed.


    Regardless of Xie Chengze¡¯s young age, his reputation is far better than Director Jiang. He is also better than Director Yan, the other director, who also came.


    Director Yan is a female director in her early forties. She is best at filming ancient TV dramas. The TV dramas she makes are of stable quality and popular, but unfortunately there are no big hits.


    And the person she brought was the male lead of the TV series she had just finished filming.


    Lu Yanzhou has been very busy recently. He has to help Xie Chengze make a movie, coax his parents, and do special effects in private, so he didn¡¯t know about this variety show beforehand.


    It wasn¡¯t until this moment that he discovered that the leading actor brought by Director Yan was actually the little fresh meat who stepped on Xie Chengze after the original owner framed Xie Chengze in the original plot.


    This little fresh meat is called Luo Junzhuo. He looks handsome and has many fans.


    The original owner didn¡¯t like Xie Chengze, but after ruining Xie Chengze¡¯s movie, he stopped and didn¡¯t care about the follow-up.


    Later, it was Luo Junzhuo who had been targeting Xie Chengze. Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans even chased Xie Chengze, causing Xie Chengze to die in a car accident.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately became alert and looked at Luo Junzhuo.


    Luo Junzhuo was shorter than him and also very thin. Lu Yanzhou felt that he could easily knock him down.


    But he looks better on camera.


    Now in the background, without a camera, Luo Junzhuo just sat in the corner with a gloomy face.


    Director Yan brought him here, but after introducing him to Xie Chengze and Director Jiang, she didn¡¯t say anything more but kept chatting with Director Jiang¡¯s daughter, saying that as long as the little girl wanted to, she could go to her to film.


    She also looked at Lu Yanzhou with a smile, and asked if Lu Yanzhou was interested in TV series.


    Lu Yanzhou took advantage of the situation and exchanged contact information with the other party.


    Seeing Director Yan like this, Lu Yanzhou knew that although she brought this Luo Junzhuo here, she only had a normal relationship with Luo Junzhuo. She might have brought him here purely to promote her new drama.


    As for Luo Junzhuo not coming to make connections, it¡¯s actually quite normal.


    Director Jiang also made TV series, mainly sino-japanese dramas, so it was impossible to cooperate with Luo Junzhuo. As for Xie Chengze¡­Many people knew that Luo Junzhuo had conflicts with Xie Chengze.


    At that time when Xie Chengze¡¯s new movie was about to start filming, Luo Junzhuo tried to seduce Xie Chengze in private because he wanted to join the crew. He also told everyone on the internet in advance. However, at the end, he was rejected by Xie Chengze¡­This made Luo Junzhuo lose face.


    Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans will still go to Xie Chengze¡¯s Weibo from time to time.


    An hour before the filming started, two hosts came.


    Luo Junzhuo didn¡¯t talk to anyone before, but after the two hosts came, he smiled and chatted with the hosts, looking sunny and handsome.


    He can act quite well!


    Lu Yanzhou had a bad impression of Luo Junzhuo, but he didn¡¯t know that Luo Junzhuo also had a bad impression of him either.


    Luo Junzhuo has a gold master. He was able to participate in Director Yan¡¯s movie, and Director Yan brought him to participate in the show because of his gold master behind him.


    He attaches great importance to this show and has been paying attention to other guests. Knowing that Xie Chengze is coming to participate, he is a little worried, lest Xie Chengze will make trouble for him on the show.


    When he learned that Xie Chengze planned to bring a young actor to the show, he began investigating Lu Yanzhou.


    This investigation made Luo Junzhuo a little angry.


    Watching the TV dramas that Lu Yanzhou was in before, his acting skills are not as good as him. More importantly, according to what he heard, Lu Yanzhou is just like him, a person who relies on his body to get to the top!


    Why did Xie Chengze look down on him, but favor Lu Yanzhou?


    Feeling angry, Luo Junzhuo paid more attention to Xie Chengze after he came to the TV station. Then, he found that Xie Chengze had an unusually gentle expression when facing Lu Yanzhou.


    In the beginning, it¡¯s because he thought that Xie Chengze liked men, that¡¯s why he tried to seduce Xie Chengze. Seeing that the atmosphere between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou was so good, he felt that the two were having an affair at first glance.


    Xie Chengze rejected him, but he cared about Lu Yanzhou¡­


    In fact, Xie Chengze just rejected Luo Junzhuo and did nothing else, but Luo Junzhuo just hated Xie Chengze.


    Although he has a gold master now, that gold master is old and ugly. If he really has to compare, he is much worse than Xie Chengze, and the resources he can provide were also mediocre¡­Why was Xie Chengze unwilling at the beginning?


    When the filming of the variety show started, Luo Junzhuo¡¯s whole state changed completely. He was smiling the whole time. He was very good at enlivening the atmosphere, it¡¯s just¡­he always brought up bad topics to Lu Yanzhou intentionally or unintentionally.


    Lu Yanzhou could feel that Luo Junzhuo had bad intentions, but these methods were harmless to him.


    Lu Yanzhou blocked all the tricky words that Luo Junzhuo handed over, then also took the opportunity to show off.


    When Luo Junzhuo asked him what his specialty was, he even took the initiative to say that he could sing, and then sang the song he sang in the movie, drawing compliments from everyone¡ª even Luo Junzhuo, who had to pinch his nose, praise him for his singing ability.


    Shooting variety shows is not that easy. They often have to shoot for a day for two hours of content for the audience.


    Because of this, they rested several times in the middle. Every break time, Luo Junzhuo would look at Lu Yanzhou with a cold face.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t give him a good face either.


    There was a lot of tension between the two. Suring another break, Xie Chengze said to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Sorry, I have a problem with him¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°It¡¯s okay! I¡¯m not afraid of him!¡±


    All those things hadn¡¯t happened yet, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t plan to do anything to Luo Junzhuo. However, if Luo Junzhuo himself decided to run into him¡­he isn¡¯t afraid of him either!


    After another break, the host mentioned the content related to Yuanchun Jewelry ¡ª they mentioned in passing that Yuanchun Jewelry held a grand charity auction recently and donated all the gain from the auction, then asked what everyone thought about it.


    Director Jiang¡¯s daughter immediately expressed her admiration for this situation, saying that she liked Yuanchun Jewelry very much and would like to buy more to support Yuanchun Jewelry.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Everyone should support charity. I hope that those who need help can really get help.¡±


    After all, Yuanchun Jewelry is his family¡¯s own company, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say much.


    On the contrary, Luo Junzhuo said a lot: ¡°Yuanchun held the charity auction this time. I heard that it was the young master of the Lu family¡¯s idea. I think young master Lu is a very kind person.¡±


    While talking, Luo Junzhuo talked about what kind of charity he usually did, and then changed the subject and asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, hearing what you said before, it seems that you really care about charity, what have you done before?¡±


    Luo Junzhuo himself happened to donate some money so he can talk about it, but Lu Yanzhou¡­As far as he knows, Lu Yanzhou has never participated in any activities.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have much fame and he didn¡¯t have much money, so he probably never donated anything.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything, I just donated some things.¡±


    ¡°You donated something like young master Lu? Young master Lu donated all his limited-edition sports cars, what about you?¡± Luo Junzhuo asked with a smile, as if out of pure curiosity.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°More or less.¡±


    Luo Junzhuo wanted to say something, but the host had already changed the subject.


    Then there are some tasks, such as cutting some clips from the dramas filmed by the three directors, and then let a few people draw lots to act.


    Of course, it¡¯s a variety show after all, it¡¯s mostly entertainment in nature, so when acting, they will pursue comedy. For example, they deliberately arranged for Director Jiang¡¯s daughter to get a monk, arranged for Lu Yanzhou to get an old lady, and arranged for Luo Junzhuo to get an ugly monster.


    The three of them act this on stage, which naturally drew roars of laughter.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze came to the TV station early in the morning, then filmed one after another until the evening, so they were exhausted when they left.


    They had a hard time filming. Even though they went to Xie Chengze¡¯s residence together at night, they couldn¡¯t do anything¡­


    This made Xie Chengze a little unhappy when he woke up in the morning.


    It all turned out like this, Xie Chengze got the news that Luo Junzhuo asked the program crew to cut out Lu Yanzhou¡¯s good performance when editing.


    Stars either perform well or badly in such variety shows, sometimes they only watch clips of it!


    If they cut out Lu Yanzhou¡¯s content, Lu Yanzhou will have no sense of existence in the whole show!


    Xie Chengze immediately started contacting people to deal with this matter.


    The TV station gave Xie Chengze some face, saying that they would not edit it casually and everything was as usual¡­After getting this result, Xie Chengze breathed a sigh of relief and told Lu Yanzhou about it.


    When talking, Xie Chengze was still a little worried, afraid that Lu Yanzhou would ask him about his relationship with Luo Junzhuo.


    He has nothing to do with Luo Junzhuo, but¡­should he still tell Lu Yanzhou about it?


    It was the first time Lu Yanzhou came to Xie Chengze¡¯s residence. Having familiarized himself with the turf, he was cooking lunch for Xie Chengze now. When he heard about this, he was a little unhappy: ¡°He actually wants them to cut my scenes?!¡±


    ¡°He has a little trouble with me. He couldn¡¯t do anything to me, so he targets you.¡± Xie Chengze said.


    Lu Yanzhou sneered: ¡°Humph, if the tiger doesn¡¯t show his power, they treat him like a sick cat?¡± Luo Junzhuo kept making trouble for him and Xie Chengze yesterday, Lu Yanzhou was already very unhappy, but now¡­


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, I¡¯ve already asked someone to help. They won¡¯t edit it randomly.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Yanzhou temporarily suppressed his unhappiness, but when Xie Chengze went to do other things¡­he immediately called his mother: ¡°Mom, I was bullied!¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu are all first-class capable people, they also appreciate capable people, but toward their children¡­the kind who will act like a baby, cry, and ask them for help, they feel very distressed for them.


    They¡¯re very happy to help their children out of trouble.


    This is especially reflected in Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Mom, there¡¯s no need to do anything to him. Didn¡¯t he want people to cut my scenes? Why don¡¯t you just cut his wonderful scenes!¡±


    ¡°I think he¡¯s just jealous of my good looks!¡±


    ¡°When the variety show is released, you must watch it! I performed really well in it, I even sang!¡±


    ¡°I love you the most, okay!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou talked sweetly to his mother.


    Xie Chengze came over after finishing his work, so he stood not far away, just in time to listen and get the general idea. He felt a ¡®thump¡¯ in his heart.


    At the same time, Luo Junzhuo also contacted someone, intending to find some black material about Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze and release it.


    The relationship between these two people is definitely not pure. Those people think that Xie Chengze rejected him because he is noble and virtuous. He wants to let others know that Xie Chengze was not like that at all!

 CH 139

    After Lu Yanzhou complained to his mother, he turned around and saw Xie Chengze standing not far away, feeling a little embarrassed.


    He is quite old but he still acts like a baby to his parents¡­Ahem!


    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze should have heard something, so he said: ¡°AZe, the matter between you and Luo Junzhuo was originally his fault, but in the end he was still relentless¡­This time, he should be taught a lesson!¡±


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°Who were you calling just now?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°My mother, she knows people from the TV station.¡±


    Yuanchun Jewelry under his mother is the sponsor of the show, so it couldn¡¯t be any easier for the show crew to cut out some of Luo Junzhuo¡¯s shots.


    Xie Chengze continued asking: ¡°When¡­can I meet your parents?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Wait for the show to air! Don¡¯t worry, my parents will definitely like you.¡±


    It¡¯s not useless for Lu Yanzhou to coax his parents so much these days.


    His parents rejected him and Xie Chengze at first, but after listening to him talk about how much he loves Xie Chengze every day, they have begun to accept Xie Chengze!


    It has only been two months since he came to this world, the progress is still quite fast.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t believe Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words.


    If Lu Yanzhou¡¯s family is really that powerful that they can casually take out ten millions yuan to invest in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s movies and TV shows, and the program crew can cut Luo Junzhuo¡¯s part¡­


    Will Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents even allow their young and handsome son to be with an old and fat director?


    Not to mention the investor, who implied to them that Lu Yanzhou is theirs.


    But he already knew that Lu Yanzhou was trying to please both sides, so he didn¡¯t get angry. He came to Lu Yanzhou and asked, ¡°What¡¯s for lunch?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Braised duck.¡± He asked his assistant to bring over some dishes. He cooked braised duck and fried two vegetables dishes. One meat and two vegetables dishes is enough for him and Xie Chengze.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± Xie Chengze leaned over to take a look at the duck in the pot, and then hugged Lu Yanzhou again.


    Lu Yanzhou is not thin in the entertainment industry, but he is definitely not fat. On the contrary, his waist was twice as thick as Lu Yanzhou.


    Holding Lu Yanzhou like this, he felt like he was molesting a little fresh meat, and he was indeed doing such a thing.


    He and Lu Yanzhou each got what they wanted from the other person, he shouldn¡¯t think too much from the very beginning.


    It¡¯s hard for Lu Yanzhou. Since it¡¯s obviously an exchange of benefits but he still has to coax him.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Are you hungry? Then let¡¯s eat quickly.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou put the dishes on the plate and served Xie Chengze with rice.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give your parents a portion?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I told them that you will cook today, so I won¡¯t send them a portion!¡± Every day, he kept talking in the small group consisting of only him and his parents about his progress in pursuing Xie Chengze. This morning he lied that Xie Chengze was going to cook for him.


    He also told his parents that he would stay with Xie Chengze and go back tomorrow.


    His parents had no choice but to agree.


    ¡°Then what are you doing this afternoon?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°Nothing, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze smiled: ¡°Come take a nap with me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou swallowed. They got up quite late today, the nap Xie Chengze mentioned must not be a simple nap!


    It was indeed not just a nap, Lu Yanzhou was exhausted.


    He didn¡¯t even want to cook dinner, so he asked his assistant to buy some food and send it over.


    Xie Chengze got up from the bed and had dinner with Lu Yanzhou. After eating, the two of them got tired and slumped on the sofa again.


    Looking at the time, Xie Chengze asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Are you going to leave later?¡± Lu Yanzhou always went back the next day. He already slept with him yesterday, so today¡­


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I told my parents that I won¡¯t go back today, I will go back tomorrow.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little surprised, then Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°But you can¡¯t pester me anymore at night, you have to take care of your health.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He really didn¡¯t want to do anything else¡­


    He was so enthusiastic in the afternoon because he wanted to squeeze Lu Yanzhou dry before Lu Yanzhou left. If he knew that Lu Yanzhou would not leave, he would not be like that in the afternoon¡­


    Speaking of which, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability is really good, no wonder he dared to find two gold masters.


    Xie Chengze was so jealous in his heart that he bit Lu Yanzhou¡¯s chin.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t feel any pain, he just thought that Xie Chengze was embarrassed by what he said, so he just hugged him and sucked a few red marks on Xie Chengze¡¯s chubby arms.


    Then together they heard the door open.


    Father Xie and mother Xie came in together, then they saw his son hugging a young man in disheveled clothes on the sofa. There were some marks just added on their son¡¯s chubby body.


    Father Xie and mother Xie: ¡°¡­¡± Should they close the door and go out?


    Xie Chengze was stunned when he saw his parents. He told his parents about his love relationship, but he didn¡¯t intend to let his parents know Lu Yanzhou¡­


    His relationship with Lu Yanzhou is not normal at all!


    However, Lu Yanzhou had already jumped up, very enthusiastically: ¡°Dad, mom, you¡¯re here? Come in!¡±


    Father Xie and mother Xie: ¡°¡­¡± Why did this person call mom and dad directly?!


    Lu Yanzhou called them mom and dad directly in order to preemptively seize the opportunity to avoid quarrels.


    In the previous worlds Xie Chengze was in before, he has no good relationship with his parents, but in this life, he has a pair of parents who really love him.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted to establish a good relationship with them.


    So, he showed an embarrassed expression, blinked, then looked at father Xie and mother Xie: ¡°I¡­I¡­I should have called uncle and aunt, I shouldn¡¯t have called you like that before?¡±


    Well, Lu Yanzhou intends to play a simple kid who really loves Xie Chengze in front of father Xie and mother Xie.


    Generally speaking, such people are most liked by elders.


    At least¡­father Xie and mother Xie, who ran into such a thing, would feel embarrassed to lose their temper.


    As Lu Yanzhou thought about it, he heard father Xie and mother Xie said: ¡°You¡­you are the boyfriend AZe mentioned, right?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou thought that father Xie and mother Xie didn¡¯t know about his existence, so he felt that this situation was definitely impossible to avoid, therefore, he came up with calling out mom and dad directly. As a result¡­Xie Chengze told his parents?


    He reacted quickly and immediately said: ¡°Yes, I am AZe¡¯s boyfriend. Uncle, aunt, sit down first. I¡¯ll make tea!¡±


    As long as Lu Yanzhou is willing, he can quickly gain others¡¯ favor.


    Therefore, while Xie Chengze was still wondering what to do now that his parents knew Lu Yanzhou, he then saw that Lu Yanzhou had already started a good conversation with his parents as his boyfriend.


    Xie Chengze found it a little incredible.


    For Lu Yanzhou, this should be just a deal with him, so there is no need to deal with his parents. Why did Lu Yanzhou happily coax his parents?


    ¡°AZe is so dedicated to his work that he doesn¡¯t even care about his health.¡±


    ¡°Uncle and aunt, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him in the future and make him take care of his health!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve been together for over a month!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a little problem with my parents, but they¡¯ve pretty much agreed.¡±


    ¡­


    Now that father Xie and mother Xie saw their son¡¯s boyfriend, they began asking questions while Lu Yanzhou answered them one by one.


    What Lu Yanzhou said was exactly the same as what Xie Chengze told them before, which made father Xie and mother Xie, who were a little worried about their son feeling being deceived, a little relieved.


    This boy named Lu Yanzhou is very sincere at first glance, he obviously really likes their son!


    The more they talked, the more speculative they became. They even exchanged contact information, and then dragged Lu Yanzhou into the Xie¡¯s family group chat.


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly felt very complacent.


    He has almost succeeded in getting father Xie and mother Xie¡¯s approval!


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou took a selfie with father Xie and mother Xie, then send it to his family group chat: ¡°Mom, dad, I met Xie Chengze¡¯s parents, they like me very much!¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu: ¡°!!!¡± What is their son doing so close to others? Don¡¯t get snatched away!


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°Mom, dad, I think Xie Chengze already likes me a little bit. As long as I keep working hard, I will definitely succeed!¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu: ¡°¡­¡± father Lu and mother Lu felt embarrassed for their son. They dug a big pit for their son, how could Xie Chengze like their son¡­


    Thinking of this, both of them felt guilty.


    Actually¡­Xie Chengze isn¡¯t bad either?


    After their son fell in love with Xie Chengze, he has been very motivated, which is really good.


    Besides, with their son¡¯s aesthetic¡­They recently looked at a lot of photos of fat people. After looking around, they found that Xie Chengze was really a flower among fat people.


    No wonder their son likes him¡­


    Lu Yanzhou chatted with his parents, then went to chat with father Xie and mother Xie, he even asked father Xie and mother Xie to stay.


    Father Xie and mother Xie have a room in their son¡¯s house, but they usually don¡¯t live here. They came here this time because they knew that their son had finished filming and wanted to ask about their son¡¯s boyfriend, so they came here suddenly.


    But now¡­After thinking about it, they agreed to stay and planned to spend more time with their son¡¯s boyfriend.


    The next morning, watching Lu Yanzhou bring out breakfast from the kitchen¡­father Xie and mother Xie were very satisfied, and secretly said to Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, you have a good boyfriend.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Now even if he tells his parents that this is not his boyfriend, his parents won¡¯t believe it, right?


    When his parents left, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help asking Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Why are you so enthusiastic toward my parents?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was taken aback: ¡°You don¡¯t have a good relationship with them? Should I be more indifferent?¡±


    Judging from the memory of the original owner, after Xie Chengze¡¯s accident, his parents have been helping him to speak up, so they should attach great importance to Xie Chengze. Could it be that he made a mistake?


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°No, I¡¯m just a little surprised¡­you are very good at coaxing people.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I have gained experience from coaxing my parents. My parents are not as easy to coax as yours¡­AZe, my parents told me to go back, so I will come see you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s heart sank but he still said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you down.¡±


    Xie Chengze sent Lu Yanzhou downstairs, thinking that Lu Yanzhou was about to leave¡­he kissed Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly looked around: ¡°AZe, are you not afraid of being photographed?¡±


    ¡°No one would take pictures of me.¡± Xie Chengze laughed. He actually looks forward to being photographed and made public¡­

 CH 140

    Xie Chengze is a director, and he is a director with a clean private life, a very low-key director with no black spots, so he has never received much attention from the media.


    What about Lu Yanzhou? Lu Yanzhou isn¡¯t famous in the present, so no one will stare at him either.


    What¡¯s more¡­Xie Chengze knows that the place where he lives is under strict security, so not everyone can come in.


    As far as Xie Chengze knows, there are popular celebrities who have hidden marriages living here too but they have never been photographed.


    Of course, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t think about this when he kissed Lu Yanzhou just now. He was just a little jealous.


    If they were really photographed¡­For a moment, Xie Chengze felt that it was good to be photographed, but soon he realized that it was not good for him.


    If they were to be photographed, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s future would be ruined, and Lu Yanzhou would definitely hate him.


    If Lu Yanzhou hated him, it would be impossible for them to be together again.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze put away all his little thoughts and sent Lu Yanzhou out.


    When Lu Yanzhou returned to the Lu family, he was in a good mood.


    Father Lu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why are you so happy?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°I confessed to Xie Chengze today. Xie Chengze didn¡¯t agree, but he didn¡¯t refuse either. I think I will succeed if I work harder.¡±


    Father Lu: ¡°¡­¡± He had sent people to observe Xie Chengze and his son, it could be seen that Xie Chengze valued his son very much. He not only taught his son a lot, but also brought his son on a show.


    However, he dug a big pit for his son!


    There is a high probability that Xie Chengze¡­wouldn¡¯t like his son.


    Father Lu suddenly felt a little guilty when he thought of this.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what his father was thinking. He went back to his room and looked online first.


    There is very little news related to Xie Chengze on the Internet, and those that are there are all official. As for the news about him, there are even fewer.


    Lu Yanzhou looked around, then started working on special effects again.


    Father Lu and mother Lu have a lot of shares in their hands, so they never care about things much. The study in this house is now used by Lu Yanzhou alone.


    Lu Yanzhou had people install all kinds of top-notch equipment for special effects here.


    He used to do a short section by himself, but now that there are many tasks, he cooperates with others and is only responsible for some of them.


    Lu Yanzhou was busy for a long time as soon as he started working. When he was done, he showed off the part he just finished to his parents: ¡°Dad, mom, look, the special effects I made are great, right?!¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu: ¡°Great! My Zhouzhou is the best!¡±


    That being said, father Lu and mother Lu didn¡¯t actually think that it was done by their son.


    After all, when their son was still in school, his grades were not very good, how could he have this ability!


    Lu Yanzhou stayed at home for a day, finished his work, then went to find Xie Chengze the next day.


    Xie Chengze was currently finishing the film, so he did chores for Xie Chengze, stayed at Xie Chengze¡¯s house by the way, and even went to meet Xie Chengze¡¯s parents.


    Since Lu Yanzhou had Xie Chengze¡¯s parents¡¯ contact information, he would take the initiative to chat with father Xie and mother Xie without Xie Chengze saying anything, making father Xie and mother Xie very happy.


    In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed, the program recorded by Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze on the TV station was broadcast.


    They stayed at the TV station for a day. Excluding the break time, the actual recording time was five or six hours, but the edited program only lasted 90 minutes.


    This show has a lot of fixed viewers. People wait in front of the TV early, waiting for the show to air, so they can watch it.


    Many of those who still watch TV these days are not young. Because of this, most of them have watched Director Jiang¡¯s anti-japanese dramas and Director Yan¡¯s custome dramas.


    As for Xie Chengze¡¯s movies, there¡¯s no need to talk about it. He has several popular movies, even if they haven¡¯t seen them, they would have heard of them.


    Now these three directors come to the show¡­the audience is very interested.


    The program was made even more enjoyable by the hosts and the three directors¡¯ golden words.


    For example, in Director Jiang¡¯s anti-japanese drama, there is a ¡®miraculous¡¯ segment, which was edited and spread on various platforms, and was listed as one of the top ten ¡®divine¡¯ plots of anti-japanese dramas.


    Director Jiang then cried in grievances on the show, saying that it wasn¡¯t even his intention to film like that¡­


    Director Yan also talked about the blooper scenes of costume dramas, and said that when she first started filming, she didn¡¯t have enough funds, so some of the actors¡¯ jewelry was packed by her from a 2 yuan store.


    Of course, Xie Chengze also said some things, and the host even asked some things about father Xie and mother Xie.


    Besides the three of them, Director Jiang¡¯s daughter, Lu Yanzhou, and Luo Junzhuo are also very interesting. After all, all three of them are young and good-looking.


    However, it was Lu Yanzhou who attracted everyone¡¯s attention the most.


    In the show, Lu Yanzhou has a lot of scenes. He can do anything, whether it is singing or doing tasks, he is excellent.


    ¡°This young man is pretty good, who is it?¡± The audience in front of the TV were all very interested in Lu Yanzhou.


    But Luo Junzhuo¡­


    Because Luo Junzhuo was going to be on the show, Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time. As a result, in the show, there¡¯s almost nothing to watch about Luo Junzhuo. He even seemed a little aggressive, as if he was targeting Lu Yanzhou all the time¡­


    Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans are feeling a little uncomfortable. Luo Junzhuo¡¯s anti-fans are already shouting: ¡°Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans keep saying that he has a variety show¡¯s sense. What kind of variety show¡¯s sense is this?¡±


    ¡°Luo Junzhuo, who is a popular little fresh meat, is participating in the show and targeting a little star, tsk tsk.¡±


    ¡°Director Xie has such a good temper. Luo Junzhuo is on the verged of climbing on his head!¡±


    ¡­


    When Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans saw this, after being stunned, some of the more knowledgeable ones began to attack the program: ¡°there¡¯s something wrong with this editing!¡±


    ¡°Why are there so few shots of our Junzhuo?¡±


    ¡°Give all the highlights to that little star and then evil edit our Junzhuo?¡±


    ¡­


    These crusades, due to the secret efforts of Luo Junzhuo¡¯s team, quickly overwhelmed the anti-fans and caused troubles to the program group.


    The program assembly is dead.


    At Luo Junzhuo¡¯s house, Luo Junzhuo, who had been watching the trend on the Internet, was furious: ¡°Damn Lu Yanzhou! Damn Xie Chengze!¡±


    After the program was recorded that night, Luo Junzhuo coaxed his gold master to call the program team to highlight him and suppress Lu Yanzhou during the editing.


    He felt that the program team would definitely not refuse. After all, he has millions of fans, while Lu Yanzhou is an 18th line actor that few people know. He has only filmed a few online series with very few broadcasts.


    As a result, the program group agreed at first, but later refused. It¡¯s said that Xie Chengze used his connection!


    Xie Chengze, who has always disliked using connection, made an exception for Lu Yanzhou!


    Luo Junzhuo was already angry in his heart. When the show was broadcast, he found that many of his scenes had been cut out, not to mention, they also cut out those scenes that he had specifically tell that it could not be cut¡­


    Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou are too much!


    In this case, don¡¯t blame him for being cruel!


    Luo Junzhuo has a bad temper but the team under him is very powerful. Over the years, relying on his team, he has dealt with many people who took his resources. Some male stars who are similar to his style were even suppressed by him before they could show their heads.


    Luo Junzhuo was on guard against Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance, but now Xie Chengze is involved¡­


    Luo Junzhuo contacted his team immediately, then also took out the photos related to Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou that he had someone take.


    He had been on guard against Xie Chengze all along. After they went on the program together that day, he asked someone to follow Xie Chengze to take pictures. Taking pictures, he really got an intimate photo of Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou!


    Xie Chengze does an unspoken rule with an actor, if such big news broke out¡­Haha, that movie that Xie Chengze just finished shooting might not be able to be released!


    Xie Chengze will definitely be beaten by everyone in the entertainment circle in the future!


    Xie house.


    Lu Yanzhou said that he wanted to go back to watch the program with his parents, so Xie Chengze went home alone and watched the variety show he and Lu Yanzhou filmed with his parents.


    He was actually a little nervous during filming. Some of his answers were less than satisfactory, but in the end, Lu Yanzhou helped him round it off¡­


    ¡°Yanzhou is really photogenic!¡±


    ¡°AZe, he is very kind to you. See, he has been peeping at you!¡±


    ¡°You are ten years older than him but you still need him to help you on the show, really.¡±


    ¡°This kid is very good. He is with you now, so you should treat him well!¡±


    ¡­


    Father Xie and mother Xie talk to their son while watching the program.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I will treat him well.¡±


    At the same time, in the Lu family, Lu Yanzhou was also watching the variety show with his parents, praising Xie Chengze while watching.


    Father Lu and mother Lu: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance on TV looked even fatter!


    He weighs more than two hundred catties to say the least, and although his facial features are not bad, but those arms and legs¡­how is their son still so affectionate?


    Father Lu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s too fat?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°No, I think he¡¯s a bit thin.¡±


    Father Lu: ¡°¡­¡±


    After finishing the variety show, Lu Yanzhou checked the situation online, only to find that he was scolded by Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans.


    He was too lazy to answer, so he ran to do special effects again.


    The special effects of Xie Chengze¡¯s movie normally took a long time to make, but after he joined the team as a shareholder, the production speed became faster. When he taught the other members of the team some methods¡­


    The special effects production is even faster!


    If nothing goes wrong, in another month, all the special effects of this movie will be ready!


    After a busy night, when Lu Yanzhou woke up the next day, he found that the Internet had changed. There were rumors everywhere that he was having an affair with Xie Chengze.


    They also said that because he hook up with Xie Chengze, he not only got to played an important supporting role in the large-scale movie directed by Xie Chengze with an investment of more than 300 million yuan, but he also got to participated in the show with Xie Chengze, and even suppressed Luo Junzhuo who participated in the show together.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He had an affair with Xie Chengze, but it wasn¡¯t because of this relationship that he was able to act in Xie Chengze¡¯s movie.


    This scene¡­was undoubtedly caused by Luo Junzhuo.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t expect that Luo Junzhuo would be so stupid. He could get the TV station to cut off Luo Junzhuo¡¯s scenes, so he shouldn¡¯t be messed with. Why did Luo Junzhuo come to provoke him instead?


    Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Lu Yanzhou saw Fang Hua, the leading actor of the film that had just finished filming, post on Weibo: ¡°I have not been wronged in the film crew. Lu Yanzhou is Director Xie¡¯s apprentice, he is just learning directing from Director Xie. He and Director Xie have taught me a lot.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took a look, only to find that it was Fang Hua¡¯s fans who kept asking Fang Hua if he was bullied by Lu Yanzhou in the film crew, and Fang Hua responded.


    On the original trajectory, Fang Hua helped Xie Chengze speak up and was scolded for a long time.


    This time¡­Fang Hua¡¯s Weibo was actually speaking for Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou¡­So Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans immediately went up to attack him.


    ¡°What master and apprentice? It¡¯s too amusing!¡±


    ¡°What can a little fresh meat learn from a director?¡±


    ¡°Learn bed techniques?¡±


    ¡°Anyway, I will never watch Xie Chengze¡¯s movies again, he is disgusting.¡±


    ¡°Unfollow. I didn¡¯t expect you to speak for someone like Xie Chengze.¡±


    ¡­


    Fang Hua was also annoyed: ¡°Director Xie would never do such a thing, don¡¯t slander Director Xie!¡±


    T/N: Shhh. Speak less, Fang Hua. (/¦Ø£Ü)

 CH 141

    Fang Hua really believed that Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou have a clean relationship.


    Which of the actors in their crew did not join the crew based on their skills?


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting skills are so good. If his appearance fit the script, he would have taken the leading role!


    As for Xie Chengze taking Lu Yanzhou to participate in the variety shows, that¡¯s quite normal. Lu Yanzhou helped Director Xie a lot during filming! Director Xie¡¯s meals are cooked by Lu Yanzhou himself. If he were Director Xie, he would definitely bring Lu Yanzhou to the variety show instead of them.


    People like them, who don¡¯t know how to follow the conversation, couldn¡¯t do it like Lu Yanzhou on the variety show!


    Fang Hua likes this movie very much. He isn¡¯t well-known and doesn¡¯t have a reliable team, so he doesn¡¯t know how to deal with this situation¡­Seeing that Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou being framed, and some people also talk about him, he couldn¡¯t help explaining in the comments.


    He said that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting skills are very good. Xie Chengze is not a person who will do unspoken rules with others, and that their crew is very harmonious¡­ As a result, the more he talked, the more people laughed at him.


    Feeling helpless, Lu Yanzhou quickly called Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze went to bed very late yesterday and was woken up by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s phone call, and then he heard about things on the Internet.


    After Lu Yanzhou finished talking about what happened, he added: ¡°AZe, you remind Fang Hua to stop talking¡­he will get slapped in the face.¡±


    This kind of unsubstantiated rumors can be ignored. It¡¯s easy for Fang Hua to be attacked if he argues with others like this.


    Most importantly, he and Xie Chengze really had a love relationship!


    Xie Chengze remained silent until Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, then he said, ¡°You¡¯re saying, someone is spreading the news about the two of us on the internet?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou answered: ¡°Yes, but don¡¯t worry, I will find someone to deal with it.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou himself is not afraid of rumors. What he is most afraid of is that these rumors will affect Xie Chengze.


    He is already planning to find his parents¡­He hasn¡¯t been in this world for long, so there is no way for him to solve this kind of thing himself for the time being.


    Xie Chengze opened his mouth, his heart sank.


    Xie Chengze has been in the circle for so many years, so he knows one thing very well, that is, if the people behind it have no real evidence, they would never release such news.


    He is not a little celebrity who has no roots, ordinary framing wouldn¡¯t do anything to him!


    Those who dare to say this must have evidence.


    They would surely release a lot of material little by little.


    Sure enough, after a while, a little actor came forward and spoke with her real name that Lu Yanzhou had a gold master, and that Lu Yanzhou always bullied other crew members when he was filming.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    This little star is the female lead in a web drama that the original owner acted in before.


    The original owner had a bad temper and looked down on people. When filming before, the people who formed the crew for him would find unknown people to act with him. They were willing to give money, just to make people bear with the original owner¡¯s temper.


    However, there are still people who can¡¯t stand it, and this leading actress is one of them.


    This leading actress is good-looking, from childhood to adulthood. Whether she is at home or at school, all were like stars cupping the sales around the moon1others surrounding someone/a group around a core figure. After joining the film crew, her treatment is not as good as the original owner, and she has to listen to the original owner during filming. She is not happy and always gives the original owner a bad look.


    How could the original owner let himself be wronged? He immediately clamored for a replacement.


    Of course she was replaced at the end, but the people around the original owner went to talk with the female lead. In order to finish filming the drama, and for the sake of money, the female lead succumbed and finally swallowed her anger and finished filming.


    This female lead is not the only one who has had such an experience.


    Those bad rumors about Lu Yanzhou before were all spread by these people.


    Lu Yanzhou knew that the original owner had conflicts with these people, but he was still a little speechless when he saw these people swearing that he had a gold master and he came late and left early, oppressing them.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like the original owner, and he knew that the original owner had problems, but the original owner really didn¡¯t wronged these people.


    What the original owner did at the beginning, that is, during the crew filming, he just used all the best things and he didn¡¯t want to shoot some scenes.


    But¡­the crew was formed by him! He took all the money out!


    And because the original owner had a lot of problems, his crew were filming slowly. They never had to work overtime and had a good salary. After some young actors in the crew added the original owner¡¯s assistant¡¯s contact information, they would also come to ask if there was any movie from time to time.


    However, no matter what Lu Yanzhou thought, this actress really hated the original owner and said a lot of things on the Internet.


    Then, after she said that, Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans, who had been picking up on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s previous experience, edited some of the previous scenes of the original owner and spread them everywhere.


    The original owner¡¯s acting skills are not good. In the past, no one scolded him because other people in the drama were worse, but now that his part is edited separately¡­


    The whole site crashed.


    ¡°Fuck, this Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting skills are too bad, right?¡±


    ¡°He only acted in online series before, why did he participate in such a big-budget movie?¡±


    ¡°There is definitely something inside here.¡±


    ¡°What kind of acting is this!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was not only ridiculed for his acting skills, many people who claimed to have worked with him also sent out a lot of dirty information about him.


    For example, the original owner has a bad face on the set. For example, the original owner always came in a luxury car. For example, other people eat lunch boxes and the original owner always eats seafood¡­


    ¡°I have worked with Lu Yanzhou in the same crew. He has a very bad temper and always gives others a hard time.¡±


    ¡°Everyone has to coax him, whoever offends him will be kicked out of the crew!¡±


    ¡°He was picked up by a luxury car every day, and he always came very late the next day¡­Because of this reason, many night scenes in the script were taken off because they don¡¯t work overtime!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly became well-known, attracting many netizens to eat melons, and everyone became even more dissatisfied ¡ª how did Lu Yanzhou, who has no acting skills and a bad temper, join Xie Chengze¡¯s crew?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Xie Chengze look down on Luo Junzhuo before? I was saying that he is pretty good, he always pays attention to the quality of the script¡­But he let such an actor into his crew?¡±


    ¡°Fang Hua really opened his eyes and said nonsense, saying that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting skills are good, haha.¡±


    ¡°Wait, didn¡¯t you say that Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were having an affair? This Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master doesn¡¯t look like Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze isn¡¯t that rich, right?¡±


    ¡°So many luxury cars¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master shouldn¡¯t be Xie Chengze.¡±


    ¡°So Director Xie gave in to capital? You can¡¯t blame Director Xie for this, right? I went to see it. In Director Xie¡¯s new movie, Lu Yanzhou is just a supporting role!¡±


    ¡­


    Fang Hua, who had been helping Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze talk, suddenly received a call from Xie Chengze, who told him not to talk too much on the Internet.


    This is Lu Yanzhou?


    This person had Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face, but he was completely different from the Lu Yanzhou he knew!


    As for Lu Yanzhou having a gold master, Fang Hua accepted it well.


    He already knew that Lu Yanzhou had brought 50 million into the crew. As for finding a gold master¡­He hated it when an incompetent person turned to their gold master to take someone else¡¯s opportunity, but Lu Yanzhou himself was talented, so he doesn¡¯t see any problem here.


    But facing this situation, he really didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore.


    Xie Chengze also saw this. After looking at it, his face became a little ugly.


    After he fell in love with Lu Yanzhou, he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he deliberately did not investigate Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past.


    So Lu Yanzhou was like this previously?


    Xie Chengze knew that not all of these things were true, and many of them were probably made up, but he could clearly see how extravagant and arrogant Lu Yanzhou¡¯s previous self was.


    Lu Yanzhou kept his head low in front of him, did he have a little sincerity towards him?


    Suddenly thought of something, Xie Chengze hurried downstairs to see his parents.


    He slept in his parents¡¯ house last night. With such a big commotion on the internet, his parents probably already know¡­


    If his parents knew about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past and knew that Lu Yanzhou had a gold master, what would they think? Will they be disappointed?


    As a result, as soon as Xie Chengze came to the living room, he heard his mother on call with someone: ¡°People on the internet are talking nonsense, Lu Yanzhou have a rich family!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen him, the lad is very nice.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s normal for him to have a bad temper, the rich second generation is squeamish¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Seeing Xie Chengze come out, mother Xie hung up the phone and said: ¡°AZe, do you know about the internet? You go and call Lu Yanzhou to comfort him. Ai! Those people are talking nonsense!¡±


    Father Xie also said: ¡°That¡¯s right, those people must be jealous of little Lu and deliberately slander him! Tell him to broadcast live and clarify it!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t expect his parents to trust Lu Yanzhou so much, so he didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    If this matter continues¡­Will his parents be able to bear it?


    At this time, Producer Wei also called Xie Chengze: ¡°Old Xie, I just know about what happened on the internet. Truly, Lu Yanzhou is not well-known, so why did someone target him and drag you¡­You have nothing to do with Lu Yanzhou¡­¡±


    While Producer Wei was talking, mother Xie said, ¡°Gosh. AZe, the photos of you and Lu Yanzhou were posted on the Internet!¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s hand trembled. He quickly ended the call and went to check his mother¡¯s phone. He saw some intimate photos of him and Lu Yanzhou being posted.


    Some of the photos, he held hands with Lu Yanzhou, and¡­he kissed Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was very handsome, but he was different. He is very fat due to medicine effects, so he was quite plump, making his body look quite big.


    Standing among ordinary people, some people would just look at him a few more times and dislike his figure. Now that he was standing with Lu Yanzhou¡­that was just a handsome guy and the beast.


    Mother Xie said: ¡°You are too careless. How did you get photographed? Will this affect your career?¡±


    In mother Xie¡¯s eyes, her son is very good, so being with Lu Yanzhou¡­Although their appearance doesn¡¯t match, there is no problem since Lu Yanzhou accepts him.


    But others think otherwise.


    At least the comments under these photos are very unfriendly.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Xie Chengze to really have an affair with Lu Yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°The house collapsed, the house collapsed, I always regarded Xie Chengze as an idol, I didn¡¯t expect him to be such a person.¡±


    ¡°Unspoken rules are solid!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is awesome! In this case, does this mean that he steps on two boats, hooks his gold master on one hand and takes Xie Chengze down at the same time?¡±


    ¡°Disgusting!¡±


    ¡­


    At this moment, Fang Hua was even more confused ¡ª he was still speaking for Director Xie not long ago, now he was slapped in the face so soon?


    Director Xie actually have a relationship with Lu Yanzhou? !


    Producer Wei, who heard mother Xie¡¯s words on the phone, was also dumbfounded when he searched online ¡ª when did Xie Chengze hook up with Lu Yanzhou? !


    Lu Yanzhou has a gold master, why did Xie Chengze even get involved?


    Only mother Xie was still angry: ¡°Really, these people are talking nonsense!¡±

 CH 142

    Xie Chengze looked at the news on the Internet and felt chills.


    Because of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words, when they were on the set, he never got too close to Lu Yanzhou in front of others. In order to avoid showing anything, he would also deliberately keep a cold face when facing Lu Yanzhou.


    However, after the film crew finished, they couldn¡¯t meet every day. He was a little worried that Lu Yanzhou would leave him, and he was also jealous¡­Sometimes, he just couldn¡¯t restrain himself and wanted to be intimate with Lu Yanzhou.


    Among them is a kiss photo. When he sent Lu Yanzhou out of his house, he took the initiative to kiss Lu Yanzhou.


    At that time, he told Lu Yanzhou that they would not be photographed, but they were photographed!


    Xie Chengze knew long ago that since those people dared to say that he had an affair with Lu Yanzhou on the internet, they must be evidence. However, he did not expect the evidence to be so solid that he could not even deny it.


    Now in this situation¡­as an actor doing unspoken rules with a director, his reputation will definitely deteriorate.


    He is the director after all, so the capital will protect him for the movie¡¯s investment.


    He still has contacts, as long as he uses it well, he can say that he was seduced by Lu Yanzhou to do this kind of thing, and then apologize¡­This won¡¯t be a big stain for him then.


    He was single after all.


    But what about Lu Yanzhou?


    All of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s past scandals were dug out, and even the matter of having two gold masters even appear¡­This is already difficult to deal with. Now, if Lu Yanzhou¡¯s gold master sees the photo of him kissing Lu Yanzhou, maybe they will give up on Lu Yanzhou, or even block Lu Yanzhou in turn.


    How will Lu Yanzhou proceed in the future? Can he still pursue his dream in the entertainment industry?


    This incident cut off Lu Yanzhou¡¯s future, will Lu Yanzhou hate him?


    If Lu Yanzhou hated him, would he still be willing to be with him again?


    ¡°I¡¯ll go talk to Yanzhou and comfort him.¡± Mother Xie said at this moment.


    Father Xie looked at Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, in this situation, are you going to make your relationship public? Will this cause trouble for little Lu? You are too careless!¡±


    Looking at the photo, it was clear that Xie Chengze went to kiss Lu Yanzhou. Father Xie felt that his son was too careless being so close to Lu Yanzhou outside.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what to say. He wanted to call Lu Yanzhou, but he was a little scared, so he simply sent a message to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°If you need me to do anything, you can tell me, I will fully cooperate.¡±


    He could tell people that he unilaterally liked Lu Yanzhou, and that time he was the one who took advantage of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s defenselessness to kiss Lu Yanzhou.


    If he takes the blame, Lu Yanzhou should have less troubles?


    The more Xie Chengze thought about it, the more his headache became.


    At this time, more and more people started attacking him online.


    Luo Junzhuo had spent so much money, Lu Yanzhou wasn¡¯t the only one he wanted to deal with.


    From Luo Junzhuo¡¯s point of view, Lu Yanzhou is a newcomer, so the previous scandals have already ruined him forever.


    But Xie Chengze is different. Without adding more aggressive information, there is no way to pull Xie Chengze off the horse.


    These years, inside and outside the circle, as long as Luo Junzhuo¡¯s black fans mentioned Luo Junzhuo, they would say that he pushed himself to Xie Chengze but was rejected. If one were to ask who Luo Junzhuo hated the most¡­that person was definitely Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Xie Chengze is too disgusting, so greasy, but he is still harboring a little fresh meat.¡±


    ¡°I heard that Xie Chengze had a lot of fun in private. It seems to be true.¡±


    ¡°I used to work in Xie Chengze¡¯s crew. He wasn¡¯t very picky, he slept with quite a few people.¡±


    ¡°I actually admired him before, I regret it!¡±


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have paid to see his movies in the first place!¡±


    ¡­


    Under the navy¡¯s leadership, more and more people commented on Xie Chengze on the Internet. Many of them even began to attack Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance: ¡°Fatty!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is really vulgar!¡±


    ¡°His parents are both handsome and beautiful, how did they give birth to such a child!¡±


    ¡­


    When Lu Yanzhou received the message from Xie Chengze, father Xie, and mother Xie, he was coaxing his parents: ¡°Dad, mom, if this goes on, I will lose face in the future! Please help me and settle the matter! Please!¡±


    Father Lu was very upset: ¡°You want us to help you? You lied to us, and you still want us to help you?¡±


    Father Lu was furious when he saw the photo of Xie Chengze kissing his son.


    Didn¡¯t his son say that he and Xie Chengze are just in an ambiguous period? Since they are still in the ambiguous period, why did they kiss?!


    Xie Chengze actually took advantage of his son¡­He doesn¡¯t want to help these two people now!


    They were at a deadlock on this matter.


    When Lu Yanzhou received Xie Chengze¡¯s message, he took a glance at the internet and found that more and more people started talking about Xie Chengze on the Internet, so he couldn¡¯t help being anxious.


    He didn¡¯t expect Xie Chengze to be questioned even without the original owner causing trouble.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to hear any kind of insulting word about Xie Chengze, but his parents refused to help.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Dad, you still say that I lied to you¡­What about you? Why do those people think that I have a gold master? Is this related to you?¡±


    In the original trajectory, no one has ever suspected the original owner of having a gold master behind him from beginning to the end!


    Lu Yanzhou felt that things develop like this, probably because his father was annoyed by his love for Xie Chengze, so his father secretly played tricks.


    Or, Father Lu allowed some rumors to spread.


    Fortunately, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t believe it, otherwise¡­he would definitely be taught a lesson by Xie Chengze!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t dare to underestimate Xie Chengze¡¯s jealousy. Let¡¯s just talk about the last world without talking about anything else¡­Who doesn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze can¡¯t wait to cling to him every day, and doesn¡¯t want to be separated for a moment?


    Xie Chengze could do it, after all, he could teleport.


    Father Lu felt a little guilty when he heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words ¡ª he had known about this rumor for a long time, but in the end he let it go¡­


    Lu Yanzhou noticed his father¡¯s expression and was very upset: ¡°Dad, mom, am I your own son? You actually hurt me so much!¡±


    Father Lu said: ¡°What did I do to you? I didn¡¯t do anything!¡± It implied that his wife did it for the crew!


    ¡°Then help me clarify!¡±


    ¡°No, I said it before, you can¡¯t tell anyone that you are from the Lu family!¡± Father Lu said.


    Lu Yanzhou and his parents were stuck on this matter. Father Lu couldn¡¯t stand that his good bokchoy son was being eaten by Xie Chengze. Therefore, he didn¡¯t allow Lu Yanzhou to go out, and Lu Yanzhou was not allowed to go online to explain either.


    ¡°Forget it, if you don¡¯t help, you won¡¯t help. In the worst case, I¡¯ll say that I¡¯ve already broken up with my previous gold master, and now I¡¯m in love with Xie Chengze. There is no messy relationship between us!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mess around!¡±


    ¡°How am I messing around? I like Xie Chengze, and I told you a long time ago that I have made progress with him recently. I didn¡¯t hide it from you!¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Instead, it¡¯s you. You watched me being scolded on the internet!¡±


    At this moment, mother Lu suddenly said: ¡°Stop arguing! Zhouzhou, you can go online and look, that Xie Chengze used to force others, he is not a good person!¡±


    Father Lu and mother Lu had almost accepted the fact that their son was in love with Xie Chengze, but today they suddenly disagreed and stopped their son mainly because they found out¡­their son and Xie Chengze had already established their relationship!


    Xie Chengze knew that their son had a gold master, but he still hooked up with their son, maybe he had already slept with their son¡­What is this?


    What did Xie Chengze think of their son?


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible!¡± Lu Yanzhou went to his mother¡¯s side to look at her phone.


    Seeing that her son was still close to them, mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief. If her son rebelled and refused to communicate with them¡­then¡­then they would have nothing to do with him.


    On the Internet, some information came out at this time.


    Luo Junzhuo didn¡¯t say anything in person, but he asked his team to hint to his fans, saying that what happened to him and Xie Chengze back then was not because he failed to flattered Xie Chengze, but because Xie Chengze wanted to do unspoken rules with him. He didn¡¯t agree, so Xie Chengze didn¡¯t let him join the movie crew.


    Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans exploded and immediately talked about it everywhere.


    ¡°Xie Chengze! Apologize to Junzhuo!¡±


    ¡°No wonder Xie Chengze wanted to use Lu Yanzhou to overwhelm our Junzhuo!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too much, why doesn¡¯t Xie Chengze die.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°These people are talking nonsense, Xie Chengze has absolutely nothing to do with that Luo Junzhuo!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Father Lu said: ¡°Why are you so sure? Xie Chengze is in his thirties and has been in the industry for more than ten years. For someone like you who just came out to society, he can easily bewitch you!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°This is impossible. That Luo Junzhuo is a shou, and so is Xie Chengze, how could Xie Chengze fall in love with him.¡±


    Father Lu was stunned: ¡°What did you say? Xie Chengze is the shou?¡±


    ¡°Otherwise?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°It wouldn¡¯t be me, right?¡±


    Father Lu: ¡°¡­¡± He really thought his son was.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It took me so long to coax Xie Chengze. Mom, dad, if you don¡¯t help, Xie Chengze will run away! My reputation is also rotten!¡±


    Although they quarrel with their son before, for father Lu and mother Lu, they will surely give an explanation, at most it¡¯s just a matter of time.


    They can¡¯t stand people on the internet constantly scolding their son.


    Even if his aesthetics are a little weird, this is their son!


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll find someone to solve this matter!¡± Said Father Lu.


    Father Lu, who is in his eighties, is a loving father in front of Lu Yanzhou, but when facing outsiders¡­he has always been ruthless.


    At this moment, looking at all kinds of news on the internet, Father Lu called someone, then asked them to make a statement.


    There are many people gathered on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s Weibo. At this moment, those people are still talking about him being taken care of by Xie Chengze, and asking him whether Xie Chengze can satisfy him.


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou, who has no reputation at all, has become a recognized person who sells himself to reach the top!


    At this moment, Lu Group¡¯s official Weibo @ him, posted: ¡°Xie Chengze has never done any unspoken rules to our young master! If you want to talk about unspoken rules, it should be our young master who does unspoken rules to Xie Chengze!¡±


    This Weibo was not discovered at the beginning, but it was quickly reposted by many people, such as the official Weibo of Xingyu Entertainment, and the stars of Xingyu Entertainment all reposted it.


    Those who were eating melons were stunned: ¡°Lu¡¯s Group? Is it the Lu¡¯s Group that I know?¡±


    ¡°The young master of the Lu family? Lu Yanzhou is the youngest son of the richest father who has never shown up?¡±


    ¡°Is this real or fake?¡±


    ¡°Has the official page been hacked?¡±


    ¡°Even if the official page was hacked, it¡¯s impossible for everyone to be hacked, right?¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou also saw the Weibo posted by the Lu Group at this time, and was speechless for a while.


    Especially when he saw that his second brother, who was very active on the internet, also reposted: ¡°Yes! How could anyone do any unspoken rules to my little brother?! Obviously it¡¯s my little brother who did unspoken to Xie Chengze!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± What the hell!


    Lu Yanzhou immediately forwarded his second brother¡¯s Weibo: ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! I am sincere to Xie Chengze!¡±


    As a result, his second brother commented: ¡°I believe you are sincere, if you are not sincere, you will not choose Xie Chengze!¡±


    Second brother Lu didn¡¯t really like his younger brother very much before, for no other reason than that he thought his younger brother was too good at currying favor with his father and would rob him of his property.


    But now¡­his younger brother is quite stupid. Not only did he enter the entertainment industry, but he also likes men¡­


    He could understand why his dad cared so much about his younger brother.


    Such a stupid brother needs love.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity was confirmed through the interaction with second brother Lu.


    Fang Hua helped Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou talk at first, so when the matter between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou was exposed, he was ridiculed by the crowd.


    Without a team, he was still discussing with his agent what to do, then things turned around again.


    Those who laughed at him before, some came back to apologize: ¡°You are right, Xie Chengze can¡¯t do unspoken rules to Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I scolded you before, but your eyes are not good, how are they innocent!¡±


    ¡°Confirmed, you are straight.¡±


    ¡°Although you were slapped in the face, and although what you said was wrong, I¡¯m here to apologize to you.¡±


    ¡°I feel a little sympathetic to you. It¡¯s not uncommon for people with such poor eyesight to still be jumping around.¡±


    ¡­


    Fang Hua: ¡°¡­¡±


    At the same time, Producer Wei, who has been paying attention to the online situation, also called Xie Chengze immediately: ¡°Old Xie, you are so awesome! How did you hook up with the young master of the Lu family?! You said, my appearance should be similar to yours? Why did Lu Yanzhou fall in love with you and not me?¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Xie Chengze hung up the phone, but he still couldn¡¯t recover.


    After Luo Junzhuo said how he had treated Luo Junzhuo, he thought he was done.


    Others won¡¯t listen to his explanation. Besides, if something like this happened, Lu Yanzhou will definitely draw a line with him!


    The result now, reversed?


    Lu Yanzhou turned out to be the young master of the Lu family?!


    Of course, it is impossible for the young master of the Lu family to have a gold master, so what Lu Yanzhou told him was true. He really went to spend time with his parents, and he really fell in love with him at first sight¡­


    Xie Chengze was thinking about this when he heard mother Xie say: ¡°AZe, no wonder you and Yanzhou didn¡¯t tell us about Yanzhou¡¯s family¡­This¡­so he is the young master of the Lu family.¡±


    Father Xie and mother Xie were frightened!


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t say it, he didn¡¯t know it before!


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou keeps saying that his parents don¡¯t agree very much. With the situation like this, will Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents agree to him being with Lu Yanzhou?


    Xie Chengze was tangled up again, and at this time, the netizens with great power began to pick up on Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s relationship.


    ¡°I went to inquire about the movie that Xie Chengze just finished. Xingyu Entertainment invested 50 million yuan, and young master Lu¡¯s mother is the major shareholder of Xingyu Entertainment.¡±


    ¡°When young master Lu joined the crew, it¡¯s said that he brought fifty million yuan with him.¡±


    ¡°You must not have imagined what I found¡­The Lu family bought most of the shares of the company that helped Xie Chengze do special effects!¡±


    ¡°Young master Lu¡¯s unspoken rules are really generous.¡±


    ¡°If I were Xie Chengze, I would also follow¡­¡±


    ¡°Uh¡­I believe in love again.¡±


    ¡°Ahem, although I don¡¯t quite understand it, young master Lu definitely loves him for real, right?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Everyone was discussing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ¡®unspoken rules¡¯ to Xie Chengze.


    As for Luo Junzhuo? Little young master Lu spent so much money to be treated differently by Director Xie. Luo Junzhuo is not as good as Lu Yanzhou in every way, so Director Xie won¡¯t force him, right?


    Thinking about it further, if Xie Chengze is someone who does unspoken rules with other people¡­Young master Lu is crazy to do ¡®unspoken rules¡¯ to Xie Chengze.

 CH 143

    When Father Lu said to solve the problems on the Internet, it¡¯s not just as simple as posting a Weibo!


    In the following time, father Lu contacted people to begin deleting comments and posts.


    All the posts and comments that are unfavorable to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were all deleted, so some people who are late to eat melons were confused: ¡°It is said that there are big melons, what big melons? Xie Chengze has been unspoken?¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s first movie was released ten years ago. Nowadays, many college students grew up watching Xie Chengze¡¯s movie.


    They have always thought that Xie Chengze is a middle-aged uncle, um, he seems to be a fat uncle. Someone did unspoken rules to him?


    What kind of magical plot is this?!


    Isn¡¯t their taste too strong?


    Well, this unspoken rule is obviously a joke. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s Weibo has already said that he and Xie Chengze really like each other.


    If others say that, they won¡¯t believe it, but Lu Yanzhou said that¡­This is indeed 100% true love!


    Whether it is wealth, age, or appearance, the gap between the two is very large, so it¡¯s impossible to justify it if it is not true love.


    After this incident, Producer Wei rushed to Xie Chengze¡¯s parents¡¯ house, going straight to find Xie Chengze together with several other friends.


    Xie Chengze took them to his room. After sitting down, everyone looked at Xie Chengze with strange expressions.


    What Producer Wei said earlier about why Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like him was just a joke, he is a straight man.


    Actually, he still wonders why Xie Chengze is with Lu Yanzhou at this moment: ¡°Old Xie, that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t use money to threaten you, did he?¡±


    Xie Chengze was speechless: ¡°What do I have that is worth him to threaten me with money?¡±


    Producer Wei: ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s right¡­


    ¡°And he is so handsome, does he still need to threaten me?¡± Xie Chengze sighed.


    Producer Wei was surprised: ¡°So you really like him? Why didn¡¯t I know you liked men? In the past, so many little fresh meat threw themselves into your arms, but I have never seen you like anyone!¡±


    Xie Chengze added: ¡°Can they compare to Lu Yanzhou? When filming before, Lu Yanzhou cooked for me every day¡­Think about it, if there was a beautiful woman that would help you share the work and cook for you every day, and always said that she liked you¡­Can you resist?¡±


    Producer Wei really couldn¡¯t resist, so he stopped talking.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s other friends also said at this time: ¡°With little young master Lu¡¯s appearance¡­being with him is not a loss, old Xie.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s ten years younger than old Xie¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that, he looks like he has a bad temper.¡±


    ¡­


    When these people saw the news on the Internet, they all thought that Xie Chengze was about to die, so they came to find Xie Chengze at the risk of being attacked.


    Now that Xie Chengze is fine¡­they happily made tea and asked what happened between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing much. He chased me, I agreed.¡± Xie Chengze said it calmly.


    After knowing Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity, Xie Chengze was extremely shocked, and then looked back on their relationship.


    He found that Lu Yanzhou never lied to him from the beginning to the end, and judging by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance¡­Lu Yanzhou obviously liked him a long time ago. He was obviously a bad-tempered young master. He could invest in filming and play the leading role himself, but he still came to his crew to play a bad supporting role.


    Lu Yanzhou also pursued him seriously, and told him everything about his family situation.


    It¡¯s just that he was preconceived and thought wrong¡­


    ¡°Didn¡¯t we think he had a gold master back then? Why did you agree to be with him in that situation?¡± Producer Wei was curious.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°He told me that his family is rich.¡± He once misunderstood that Lu Yanzhou had a gold master or something, he mustn¡¯t let others know about this!


    Wait, Xie Chengze suddenly thought of something.


    Lu Yanzhou once said that he only liked him, only him.


    Lu Yanzhou also said that his family was very strict and did not allow him to stay outside.


    There are also those black materials of Lu Yanzhou that were exposed on the Internet before¡­Those people said that Lu Yanzhou was late and left early to accompany his ¡®gold master¡¯, that Lu Yanzhou looked down on people, that Lu Yanzhou was arrogant¡­But from the beginning to the end, no one said that Lu Yanzhou messed with men and women.


    However, now that everyone knows that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s so-called ¡®gold master¡¯ is old man Lu who is over eighty years old.


    So Lu Yanzhou may have never been in love before!


    Xie Chengze felt very good when he thought of this, then he was a little worried when he thought of old man Lu.


    Looking at things from old man Lu¡¯s perspective, his child in his early twenties is with a fat man in his thirties¡­Old man Lu was already very nice to him by not banning him.


    No wonder Lu Yanzhou always said that he was going back to coax his parents ¡ª if old man Lu didn¡¯t like him, it would be impossible for his movie to be made.


    He was actually jealous because Lu Yanzhou went home the next day¡­


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Producer Wei was depressed.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°He told me not to tell others. He was afraid that his parents would be angry if they found out, so when I fell in love with him, our relationship was a secret.¡±


    Producer Wei suddenly realized: ¡°You two always stay in your lounge, you¡­¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re falling in love right under your nose.¡± Xie Chengze laughed.


    Xie Chengze is in a very good mood now, so good that he wants to cry.


    So many ups and downs, but it¡¯s nothing more.


    One second he thought that Lu Yanzhou might step on him, saying that he forced him, but the next second, he found out¡­everything Lu Yanzhou told him was true.


    Lu Yanzhou never lied to him, which means that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s confession to him before, saying that he loves him, is also true.


    ¡°Old Xie, you have such an amazing expression!¡±


    ¡°You are obviously alone now, how are you still feeding me dog food?¡±


    ¡°Old Xie, you are marrying into a wealthy family, we will all rely on you in the future!¡±


    ¡­


    Xie Chengze¡¯s friend was joking with Xie Chengze when Lu Yanzhou came.


    Xie Chengze was stunned when he heard the movement outside. He quickly opened the door and go out.


    This time it happened so suddenly that Lu Yanzhou never expected it.


    He originally trying to get his parents to accept his relationship with Xie Chengze step by step. When he was about to succeed, in the end it was almost ruined by a few photos.


    Fortunately, things are resolved now.


    Seeing Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou hugged him: ¡°AZe, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t handle Luo Junzhuo¡¯s matter well, so you got scolded!¡±


    He didn¡¯t think much when he asked the program crew to cut Luo Junzhuo¡¯s scenes, but because of this incident, Luo Junzhuo actually framed Xie Chengze, causing Xie Chengze to be scolded.


    ¡°What does that have to do with you? It¡¯s my fault. I knew I should be more careful, but I still kissed you.¡± Xie Chengze is also annoyed.


    ¡°You can¡¯t help it, so what¡¯s the problem?¡± After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he noticed that there were other people present.


    He was also embarrassed to showing love in front of others, so let go of Xie Chengze and began to greet Xie Chengze¡¯s friends.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s friends knew that they must have a lot to say, so they didn¡¯t stay any longer and left one after another. Even father Xie and mother Xie all went to visit the neighbor.


    After everyone left, Lu Yanzhou immediately went to kiss Xie Chengze. After the kiss, he said, ¡°AZe, I miss you so much.¡±


    ¡°I miss you too.¡± Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, hugged him and kissed him.


    He always felt that all this was like a dream.


    Is it possible that he is really dreaming?


    Xie Chengze was very enthusiastic. Lu Yanzhou was very moved but still pushed him away: ¡°AZe, wait, this is your parents¡¯ house, they might be back soon.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was worried that if this continued, the two of them would have sex.


    When Xie Chengze heard what Lu Yanzhou said, his expression froze.


    He was purely excited just now, so he wanted to get intimate with Lu Yanzhou but he didn¡¯t have any further thoughts.


    In the end, Lu Yanzhou thought he wanted to¡­


    What is his image in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes?


    Thinking about it carefully, in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes, he has no image at all, right? It¡¯s fine if he was so proactive before, but he¡¯s also very demanding!


    Looking back, Xie Chengze even felt that his eyes were stinging.


    Looking at the current situation, Lu Yanzhou is not the iron kidney he imagined at all. The day Lu Yanzhou went home to stay, he might be recuperating¡­


    Xie Chengze was extremely embarrassed, but he could not explain.


    He once misunderstood that Lu Yanzhou had a gold master¡­He would never let Lu Yanzhou know about this kind of thing! No way!


    Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t know. He complained to Xie Chengze about his parents allowing the rumors to spread, and said that they were hacked this time because of Luo Junzhuo, and his parents had already arranged someone to sue Luo Junzhuo.


    The ones who scolded Xie Chengze the most were actually Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans. Among these people, some of them have scolded Xie Chengze in many different ways. They have been scolding Xie Chengze for several years, so Lu Yanzhou plans to sue.


    There is also the matter between him and Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, let¡¯s go see my parents tomorrow.¡±


    When Xie Chengze heard this, his heart skipped a beat, he became nervous: ¡°Will your parents accept me?¡±


    Xie Chengze knew very well that he was inferior to Lu Yanzhou in many aspects.


    He thought that his relationship with Lu Yanzhou was a deal before, so he didn¡¯t tell Lu Yanzhou about his illness.


    At that time, he was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would dislike him if he knew he was sick, but now¡­


    ¡°I already talked with them.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so fat¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°It¡¯s okay, they like fat people.¡±


    Xie Chengze was a little confused. It¡¯s normal for older people to like slightly fat people, but he is over 200 catties and also so chubby¡­Normal people wouldn¡¯t like it, right?


    Of course, this is not the point¡­Xie Chengze said: ¡°There is something I didn¡¯t tell you, I¡¯m actually not in good health¡­¡±


    ¡°I know, you suffer from lupus erythematosus. You¡¯ll be fine, you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Lu Yanzhou kissed Xie Chengze again.


    His accumulated merits is almost enough to heal him, so Xie Chengze¡¯s illness will be cured soon.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s obesity is caused by drugs. Although he won¡¯t lose weight all of a sudden after he recovers from his illness, after stopping the drugs, Xie Chengze will definitely lose weight slowly¡­


    He is looking forward to Xie Chengze becoming a handsome guy.


    One must know that Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance has always been better than his. Luo Junzhuo and others are even inferior to him in appearance, let alone Xie Chengze!


    At that time, Xie Chengze will definitely be able to beat all the little fresh meat.

 CH 144

    After Xie Chengze knew Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity, although he was happy, there was also a huge stone in his heart.


    He used to think that Lu Yanzhou was a person who relied on money to enter the entertainment industry, so he and Lu Yanzhou only exchanged interests and got what they needed, so naturally there was no such thing as being worthy or not.


    But it¡¯s different now.


    If they were to be together¡­his condition would be a big problem.


    This condition is very painful. He looks okay now with no spots on his face, but no one knows what will happen in the future. If his condition is serious, he will become more and more ugly¡­


    The point is, in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes, the two of them have always been in a normal relationship, so he is a guy who concealed his illness and tricked Lu Yanzhou into falling in love with him!


    Therefore, when he said that he was not in good health, Xie Chengze was very nervous.


    In the end¡­Lu Yanzhou knew about it long ago?


    Xie Chengze subconsciously asked: ¡°How do you know?¡± He has been hiding his condition very well, so very few people know about it!


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t say that he learned about it through the original owner¡¯s memory, so he could only say: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I secretly investigated you before. I really like you, so I did it. Please, don¡¯t blame me.¡±


    When he said that, Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze and rubbed against Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡­How could Xie Chengze be willing to blame him!


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°AZe, actually there is a cure for your condition, but it¡¯s a bit troublesome. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll be fine when the movie is released.¡±


    The original owner really has a lot of good things. If these things are sold second-hand, they will definitely be discounted, but he took them out for a charity auction. Therefore, all the money from the sale went to charity, so the buyer is very generous.


    Although the selling price of some items is not as high as the buying price, the selling price of those limited edition items is far higher than the price the original owner bought.


    Especially those cars of the original owner that are sold at a very high price!


    After they were all sold, Lu Yanzhou alone raised hundreds of millions of charitable funds, not to mention, father Lu and mother Lu also donated some things, which were donated in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s name after the auction.


    Now Lu Yanzhou receives a lot of merit every day.


    Xie Chengze was stunned: ¡°What you said is true?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°When did I ever lie to you?¡± He also lied to Xie Chengze, but it was all trivial matters. He couldn¡¯t possibly lie about such a thing.


    Hearing this, Xie Chengze was in a daze ¡ª Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t.


    Lu Yanzhou hugged him and continued to kiss him.


    When father Xie and mother Xie came back from the visit, they saw this scene: ¡°¡­¡± Still so affectionate after so long?


    Father Xie and mother Xie have always liked Lu Yanzhou very much. They greeted Lu Yanzhou with a smile, then asked Lu Yanzhou what he wanted to do next.


    Lu Yanzhou talked about his parents wanting to meet Xie Chengze. He and Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t get married for the time being, but seeing their parents meant that their relationship was recognized.


    Mother Xie was very happy and asked Lu Yanzhou to stay for dinner.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately agreed, and said, ¡°Dad, mom, let me cook! Well, do you want to start a live stream? You can also make a video or something and explain today¡¯s events to your fans.¡±


    Father Xie and mother Xie don¡¯t use Weibo much, but they have been making short videos and posting them online.


    Previously, when the incident between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze broke out, father Xie and mother Xie were inevitably affected and attacked by a group of messy people.


    Although Lu Yanzhou has explained it now, he didn¡¯t say much. They can explain it better if father Xie and mother Xie do a live stream.


    Father Xie and mother Xie were taken aback for a moment, and then they had a better impression of Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was willing to live stream at their home, which showed the importance he attached to them and Xie Chengze.


    And now that people on the Internet are discussing about Lu Yanzhou, if they start a live stream at this time, how many people will be attracted to watch it? How much traffic will this bring them?


    The benefits here are almost immeasurable.


    People on the Internet are indeed discussing Lu Yanzhou now.


    Excluding the fact that there is a gold master¡­Everyone found out that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s other scandals were not really scandals.


    Being late for filming and leaving early¡­Those film crews were all set up with his own money. He wasted his own money, why should others worry?


    As for he is arrogant and hired several bodyguards and assistants¡­If they have money, they will hire it too.


    The same is true for his special treatment and things like eating differently from others ¡ª why does it matter to others if he spends his own money?


    There were even people from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s former crew who came out and said that although their crew was filming an online drama, the treatment was super good, and the box lunches for the group actors have both meat and vegetables with fruits¡­Everyone went to see that picture Lu Yanzhou ate a seafood feast and others ate a box lunch and found that it was indeed the case.


    ¡°I¡¯m from the Academy of Film and Television. I¡¯ve been to many film crews but it¡¯s really rare to see such a rich box lunch!¡±


    ¡°The gossip about Lu Yanzhou, he never beat or cuss at anyone, he¡¯s just being arrogant, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not very arrogant. After knowing his identity, I feel that he is very down-to-earth, he even went to film online dramas!¡±


    ¡°The people who play with him are all unknown 18 lines.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He invested so much money in Xie Chengze¡¯s movie but he just played a small role¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Netizens now have a good impression of Lu Yanzhou, so they feel a little puzzled now.


    Why did he fall in love with Xie Chengze?


    They ran to ask Fang Hua, according to what Fang Hua said¡­Lu Yanzhou also cooks for Xie Chengze every day? For real?


    Just thinking about it, a piece of news spread ¡ª Xie Chengze¡¯s parents started a live stream! Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze are also there!


    If only Xie Chengze¡¯s parents were live streaming, everyone wouldn¡¯t be so interested, but today¡¯s gossip protagonists Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze are also in it, so it¡¯s worth watching!


    Many people suddenly came to father Xie and mother Xie¡¯s live stream room all of a sudden.


    After these people entered the live stream room, they were stunned. They thought they would see Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze holding a small press conference in the live broadcast, but¡­Lu Yanzhou was cooking?


    Is this a food live broadcast?


    ¡°Young master Lu is very skilled at cooking!¡±


    ¡°So he really did cook for Xie Chengze?¡±


    ¡°How can it be fake? He doesn¡¯t need to act!¡±


    ¡­


    The camera was held by father Xie. Mother Xie soon came into the scene, saying that a lot of things happened today, then started talking with everyone about it.


    The bullet screen asked questions one after another.


    Mother Xie talked with Lu Yanzhou before, discussed what to say, then said: ¡°They haven¡¯t been together for long but they have a very good relationship.¡±


    ¡°I met Lu Yanzhou some time ago.¡±


    ¡°How did they get together? I don¡¯t know about it. Young people wouldn¡¯t tell us elders these things.¡±


    ¡­


    While mother Xie was talking, Lu Yanzhou interrupted: ¡°Why are we together? Of course I chased after Xie Chengze! I am a fan of Xie Chengze and I have always liked his movies. Therefore, I went to audition, then fell in love with him at first sight. I immediately started to pursue him passionately! After my tireless effort, he finally agreed to be with me!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou had almost finished cooking, so he leaned over to watch mother Xie¡¯s live broadcast, then saw a lot of questions: ¡°Ask me why I like Xie Chengze? Love has always been unreasonable!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is very good. How many people are as talented as him in this world?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not a superficial person!¡±


    ¡­


    Throughout the live broadcast, Lu Yanzhou supported Xie Chengze and praised Xie Chengze like a flower.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Is he really that good?


    Everyone was asking, so Luo Junzhuo was mentioned. It is mainly because Luo Junzhuo¡¯s fans felt that Lu Yanzhou shouldn¡¯t let the program crew cut Luo Junzhuo¡¯s scenes, saying that Lu Yanzhou bullied Luo Junzhuo.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hide it: ¡°I¡¯m good and proper, so it¡¯s impossible for me to ask people to cut his scenes for no reason! He was targeting me the whole time during the program. That¡¯s alright, but after participating in the program, he even contacted the program crew, telling them to cut my scenes. I was just being courteous!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze wants to do unspoken rules to Luo Junzhuo? It¡¯s impossible, Xie Chengze and I are first loves! And I¡¯ve been chasing Xie Chengze for two months. How could it be possible for him to fall in love with Luo Junzhuo!¡±


    Everyone knew what Lu Yanzhou said was true.


    ¡°I watched that variety show again, and Luo Junzhuo¡¯s intention to find fault was very obvious.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a very interesting part in it. Luo Junzhuo praised the Lu family¡¯s little young master, then he said that Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t do charity¡­It turns out that Lu Yanzhou is the young master of the Lu family!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou said that he donated a little¡­it must be 100,000,000!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze has always attached great importance to quality when making movies. It¡¯s absolutely nonsense to say that he is doing unspoken rules!¡±


    ¡°Yes! He can only accept doing unspoken rules for the sake of quality!¡±


    ¡­


    Luo Junzhuo was ridiculed by the crowd again, then got into other troubles. This time, his gold master doesn¡¯t want to keep him.


    Of course, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care about these things.


    After the live stream, Lu Yanzhou started to promote Xie Chengze¡¯s movie: ¡°My family director Xie¡¯s movie is really well done!¡±


    ¡°I also acted very well in it. My acting skills are superb! It¡¯s very suitable for the character design, and Xie Chengze even added scenes for me!¡±


    ¡°The special effects of this movie are supervised by me, so they are definitely far superior to those of my peers!¡±


    ¡°The promotional video will be released soon, everyone can watch it then!¡±


    ¡­


    The live stream was not too long, but it caused quite a stir.


    Especially when Lu Yanzhou praised Xie Chengze¡¯s movie later on. He directly blew it to the top of the hot search.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s movie didn¡¯t have much money for promotion, but now, everyone knows the existence of this movie!


    When the promotional video is online¡­


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this special effect too good?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too good. Could it be that only the special effects of the promotional video are good and nothing else is good?¡±


    ¡°Upstairs, no, after all, Lu Yanzhou bought the special effects company for Director Xie for doing unspoken rules.¡±


    ¡°I came to see young master Lu¡¯s acting skills. Didn¡¯t he say that he acted very well? Where is he?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s in the group of people who wrap themselves tightly!¡±


    ¡°I know why Lu Yanzhou dares to say that his acting is very good! You can¡¯t see his face clearly because everyone wears a helmet in the movie. He is not the leading role either, so he only needs to walk with the team. How could his acting skills be bad like this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still willing to support young master Lu¡¯s acting skills.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to support, I just want to see how good the special effects made by the company that young master Lu specially bought for Director Xie for unspoken rules!¡±


    ¡­


    The special effects made by Lu Yanzhou are really good.


    Xie Chengze had seen the finished product, he even hugged Lu Yanzhou excitedly.


    How can there be such a good person in this world?


    Such a nice person, how could he fall in love with him?


    Xie Chengze was so happy that he went down and kissed Lu Yanzhou.


    Then he heard Lu Yanzhou say: ¡°Wait, wait¡­I¡¯ve been working overtime every day to make special effects for your movie. I¡¯m very tired. I don¡¯t want to move now¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± What did Lu Yanzhou think he wanted to do?!


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°how about you move instead?¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Pervert!


    Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly: ¡°Don¡¯t you want to lose weight? Exercising can help you lose weight.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Of course Xie Chengze wanted to lose weight. He didn¡¯t know why his condition suddenly cured, but now that he¡¯s cured¡­he wanted to lose weight!


    T/N: Two extras then the new world (????)

 CH 145

    Lu Yanzhou was able to accumulate enough merit because his father unblocked his card, not only that, but the dividends of some shares under his name have also arrived in the account!


    He finally has money again!


    Xie Chengze had finished filming the movie and didn¡¯t have a job recently, so Lu Yanzhou coaxed him to do charity together.


    After working so hard for a while, Lu Yanzhou cured Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze originally thought that the reason Lu Yanzhou swore that he could be cured was because some research institutes had already developed a cure for his condition.


    As a result¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t take him to the hospital for treatment at all, but his illness is healed?


    If it was before, he would have thought a lot, but now he trusts Lu Yanzhou.


    No matter what, Lu Yanzhou was doing it for his own good.


    He didn¡¯t even care that Lu Yanzhou had a gold master before, so he won¡¯t mind such trivial matters either.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t ask any more questions, then under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s arrangement, he began to work on his body and lose weight little by little.


    He desperately wanted to lose weight, but Lu Yanzhou watched him very closely. He was not allowed to eat less of the nutritious meals arranged for him and he was not allowed to do more exercise.


    Oh, there is only one kind of exercise that can be done on the bed. Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t mind if he does more of those.


    However, he is not a body made of iron, so he can¡¯t stand too much either!


    During the time between weight loss, Lu Yanzhou would open a live stream every week, he would also be included in the scene.


    Xie Chengze was very puzzled by this, so Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Nowadays some people can make up a big show with just a single picture. If we don¡¯t go on live often, be careful of people saying you have plastic surgery.¡±


    Xie Chengze was taken aback.


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°Of course, this is also to promote the movie. Producer Wei begs me to live stream every day to help promote the movie.¡±


    ¡°The movie has already been promoted, right?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°Is there too much publicity?¡±


    All the money was used for special effects in Xie Chengze¡¯s movie. If it wasn¡¯t for him and Xie Chengze¡¯s popularity publicized it, he reckon the final set wouldn¡¯t be so good.


    Having said that, Lu Yanzhou started the live stream again.


    As for the live stream¡­of course it¡¯s cooking live.


    ¡°Today¡¯s live stream will still be promoting the movie my family AZe just finished,¡®Under the Ruins¡¯, is about to be released, everyone must watch it!¡± Lu Yanzhou said to the live stream camera: ¡°As for the content of the live¡­it¡¯s still cooking. Live streaming something else is too troublesome!¡±


    People who watched the live stream said one after another: ¡°It¡¯s too perfunctory, let¡¯s change to something else, such as live kissing!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t just live stream making diet meals! If you have the ability, how about live streaming weightlifting!¡±


    ¡°Begging for a live weight lifting, I want to see muscles!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou completely ignored them.


    His family AZe sweats and wears little clothes every time he exercises to lose weight, he doesn¡¯t want these people to see!


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I¡¯m going to cook. What I¡¯m going to make today is low-fat and low-carb egg fried rice. I¡¯ll use cauliflower instead of rice. Spray some oil in the pot to make scrambled eggs. Although there¡¯s less calories, it¡¯s still delicious.¡±


    While Lu Yanzhou was cooking, Xie Chengze was beside him helping Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Young master Lu is really different!¡±


    ¡°Other rich second-generation live streams to show off their wealth, but he cooks live!¡±


    ¡°A man that can cook is the most handsome!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou has a lot of fans now.


    His identity as the young master of the Lu family is already very popular, not to mention that he is so handsome!


    In contrast, Xie Chengze has far fewer fans.


    People only look at appearance. Xie Chengze¡¯s current appearance is not that great now, other than that¡­Xie Chengze personality also wasn¡¯t that lively and he doesn¡¯t like to talk, so he usually stays silent.


    In fact, there are many private posts now, all of which are talking about him, saying that he is not worthy of Lu Yanzhou. However, Lu Yanzhou asked someone to delete all the posts that could be deleted.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want to see this.


    Recently, more people started to notice Xie Chengze: ¡°Have you noticed that Xie Chengze has lost weight?¡±


    ¡°I noticed it, I noticed it, he lost a lot of weight!¡±


    ¡°Although Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say it clearly, the meals he cooks are all low-calorie. They are obviously diet meals. Xie Chengze is trying to lose weight, right?¡±


    ¡°It is said that fat people are potential stocks, I wonder what Xie Chengze will look like after losing weight¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Just as everyone was curious, Lu Yanzhou had already cooked and ate with Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou not only cooks ¡®egg fried rice¡¯, but also grilled sweet potato, grilled salmon, and vegetable salad with low-calorie salad dressing.


    He ate with Xie Chengze, but he ate a little more than Xie Chengze ¡ª he was working out to gain muscle recently, so it was good to eat this kind meal too.


    While eating, Lu Yanzhou also chatted with the people who watched the live stream, um, it was mainly to promote the movie.


    While eating, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cell phone rang. Someone made a video call to him.


    The person who called Lu Yanzhou was the person from the company that did the special effects for Xie Chengze¡¯s movie. The special effects of that movie were almost done, there¡¯s only some little parts to revise. The two parties had a lot of contact in the past few days.


    They usually contact Lu Yanzhou. After all, Lu Yanzhou not only understands the movie, but also understands the technology.


    When Lu Yanzhou answered the phone, the people on the opposite side talked about the problems they encountered, and Lu Yanzhou immediately answered them. While talking, someone from the opposite side joined in and asked other questions.


    The latter one is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s team¡¯s technician.


    This person¡¯s native language is not English, and his English is also not very good. At the beginning, he used English to communicate with Lu Yanzhou. Later, when he talked a lot while working together, he found that Lu Yanzhou could speak his native language, so he switched to his native language to communicate with Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou had finished eating, so he took out his laptop and talked with them.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s eyes were shining when seeing Lu Yanzhou like this.


    The way Lu Yanzhou works seriously is really handsome!


    Xie Chengze thought so, and so did the people watching the live stream.


    ¡°What is Lu Yanzhou talking about? He spoke English at the beginning, right? I obviously went to college, why can¡¯t I understand?¡±


    ¡°There are too many technical words. Even if he speaks Chinese, you may not understand, let alone he speaks in English!¡±


    ¡°What language is he speaking later? It¡¯s not english?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not English, and I don¡¯t know what he said either.¡±


    ¡­


    After listening to it for a while, everyone was dumbfounded. When Lu Yanzhou took out his laptop, he began to solve the technical problems encountered by the person opposite¡­


    Those who watched the live broadcast were dumbfounded.


    ¡°What the hell is he doing?¡±


    ¡°I always thought that young master Lu, who went to film online dramas to become a small star, was an underachiever¡­I¡¯m so stupid, for real.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s only in his early twenties, right? Why does he know so much?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t understand what he¡¯s saying at all, I can¡¯t understand what he¡¯s doing¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou is very famous recently, but in everyone¡¯ eyes¡­he should be an underachiever.


    One must know that he was less than twenty years old when he filmed his first web drama!


    For this reason, some people on the Internet laughed at Lu Yanzhou, saying that he definitely didn¡¯t go to college.


    But now¡­


    ¡°I asked the seniors to see it, and seniors said they were discussing the production of special effects.¡±


    ¡°So Lu Yanzhou bought the special effects company not just because he is stupid and has a lot of money?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he too awesome?!¡±


    ¡­


    Netizens were shocked.


    Even father Lu and mother Lu, who also watched the live stream, were shocked.


    Isn¡¯t their son an underachiever? When did he become so powerful?


    Father Lu and mother Lu thought so too. Therefore, when Lu Yanzhou closed the live stream, they immediately called Lu Yanzhou and asked Lu Yanzhou to meet them.


    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body was indeed an underachiever.


    He is not stupid, it¡¯s just that he has what he wants since he was a child, so that makes him have no motivation to spend time studying.


    Learning is hard work after all.


    When Lu Yanzhou first transmigrated, in order to avoid being found anything wrong, he didn¡¯t dare to reveal too much, even if there was a change, he used the reason that he fell in love with Xie Chengze for it.


    But he can¡¯t stay a failure all the time.


    That night, Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze home.


    This is not the first time he brought Xie Chengze back.


    Although father Lu and mother Lu didn¡¯t like Xie Chengze, they still accepted him. The day after the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze was exposed, they met with Xie Chengze.


    They weren¡¯t very enthusiastic, but they also didn¡¯t embarrass Xie Chengze either. Both parties were polite.


    However, after meeting him a few times, father Lu and mother Lu¡¯s attitude towards Xie Chengze became much better.


    At the beginning, they were always worried that Xie Chengze had deceived their son, but after getting along, they found that Xie Chengze was sincere to their son, so they gradually accepted him.


    This time when Lu Yanzhou came back, father Lu immediately asked why Lu Yanzhou knew so many technologies during the live broadcast.


    As for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s ability to communicate with people fluently in English, he didn¡¯t find it strange ¡ª the original owner lived abroad when he was a child, so he did know several languages.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I was interested in these before, so I learned computer technology in private.¡±


    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you tell us?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to tell you. After telling you, do I have to learn this specifically and become a programmer? Besides, at that time, I learned technology mainly to play games, then I lost interest after learning it for a while.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    My son is really heated for 3 minutes[footnoted]A brief period of enthusiasm[/footnote]. As for why he has learned so much after only a brief period¡­¡±You, no matter what you do, you don¡¯t have any perseverance at all. You are wasting your talent.¡±


    ¡°In the past, your teacher also said you had the talent to be a pianist, but you refused to learn after a month.¡±


    ¡°You were good at drawing when you were a child, but you refused to learn after a year of study.¡±


    ¡°This computer technology too, if you study hard, how many people can compare with you? Why don¡¯t you study hard?¡±


    ¡­


    Father Lu and mother Lu kept talking.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Very good, his parents have full confidence in him, so he doesn¡¯t need to explain further!


    Soon it was time to eat. Father Lu and Lu¡¯s mother kept adding food to Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s recent live streams are actually diet meals, but father Lu and mother Lu don¡¯t know much about these. They only think that their son and Xie Chengze eat quite well, every meal has fish and meat.


    It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with Xie Chengze. He didn¡¯t eat less but he still lost a lot of weight.


    They don¡¯t like fat people, but their son likes fat people. If Xie Chengze loses weight, will their son not like him anymore?


    Besides, their son looks thinner, so he must eat more!


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Previously when Lu Yanzhou told him that father Lu and mother Lu liked fat people, he still didn¡¯t believe it, but now he does.


    Are they trying to fatten him and Lu Yanzhou?


    Father Lu and mother Lu give Xie Chengze a lot of food. Fortunately, the food they ate was specially prepared by dietitians that specialize in preparing food for the elderly. It was healthy and nourishing with less oil, less salt and less sugar, so there¡¯s no problem if Xie Chengze eats more.


    Lu Yanzhou transferred half of the rice from Xie Chengze¡¯s rice bowl to his own bowl, then asked Xie Chengze to eat more vegetables.


    Eat less carbs, eat more protein vegetables, so he can lose weight!


    Xie Chengze ate silently, and then heard mother Lu worryingly said: ¡°Little Xie, you have lost a lot of weight recently, don¡¯t lose any more weight!¡±


    Although Xie Chengze is fat, his facial features are still good. He has lost some weight recently and looks a little cute, which fits mother Lu¡¯s aesthetics very well.


    However, mother Lu was worried that if he was too thin, her son would leave him and bring back a fat man weighing 500 or 600 catties.


    She also saw that some people in foreign countries also forcefully feed their partners to 500 or 600 catties because they liked fat people¡­


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents¡¯ aesthetics are too strange, right?

 CH 146

    When he was still a fat man before, Lu Yanzhou could still fall in love with him at first sight. Xie Chengze also thought about whether it is possible that Lu Yanzhou has abnormal aesthetics and likes fat people.


    After all, at that time, he wanted to try to lose weight, but Lu Yanzhou refused to let him, and even made good food and drink to feed him every day.


    However, after he recovered from his illness, Lu Yanzhou was indeed helping him lose weight, so his doubts disappeared.


    But now seeing father Lu and mother Lu¡¯s reaction¡­


    The gap between them is really big. Father Lu and mother Lu probably accepted him because he fits their aesthetics, right?


    Xie Chengze looked at mother Lu with his dark eyes.


    Xie Chengze weighed more than 200 catties before, but his obesity was caused by drugs. After stopping the drugs, even if Lu Yanzhou forbade him to eat less or exercise too much, he will lose weight faster.


    Because of his recovery, his skin has also improved, and his whole body is white, plump, and delicate.


    Mother Lu looked at him, she suddenly understood why her son liked fat people.


    Hmm, maybe her son doesn¡¯t like fat ones, but likes Xie Chengze to the extent he is now? That¡¯s actually pretty good too.


    Seeing that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t eat less, father Lu and mother Lu were relieved.


    However, after a few days, Xie Chengze lost weight again.


    Lu Yanzhou was afraid of harming Xie Chengze¡¯s body, so he didn¡¯t let Xie Chengze to exercise too much and he also paid attention to his diet.


    But when ¡®Under the Ruins¡¯ was released, Xie Chengze still lost some weight and became 170 catties. (About 225 pound)


    Xie Chengze in this world is not tall because of his illness, but he is not short either. He looks about 1.75 meters, so 170 catties is still a bit fat for him, but his facial features are now more clear.


    Fang Hua, who came to attend the premiere ceremony, saw Xie Chengze and said, ¡°Director Xie, you have lost a lot of weight and are also a lot more handsome! I thought you had a face filter during the live stream, but you didn¡¯t!¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Producer Wei was also shocked: ¡°Old Xie, I asked you to lose weight before but you kept saying that you couldn¡¯t lose weight because of your health¡­why did you lose weight now?¡±


    Producer Wei is Xie Chengze¡¯s college classmate but Xie Chengze had never told him about his illness.


    For this reason, Producer Wei once advised Xie Chengze to lose weight, but Xie Chengze refused, saying that it was because of his health so he couldn¡¯t lose weight.


    Later, Producer Wei observed Xie Chengze for a period of time and found that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t eat much. He felt that Xie Chengze probably had the ¡®getting fat even if he drank water¡¯ physique, so he didn¡¯t persuade him anymore.


    As directors and producers, they are very busy at work, and the work pressure is also high. If they eat too little and have insufficient nutrition, their bodies will collapse!


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°I went to see the doctor. I was so fat before because of my health. I lost weight now because I got better.¡±


    Seeing that Xie Chengze looked well, even a little too good, Producer Wei felt relieved: ¡°That¡¯s good! You look handsome even if you¡¯re thin!¡±


    It¡¯s good that Xie Chengze lost weight.


    Of course not only the actors, who participated in the premiere ceremony, noticed that Xie Chengze lost weight, but also the live audience and the audience watching the live broadcast.


    ¡°Xie Chengze lost a lot of weight, right?¡±


    ¡°He was still fat before? Did he go for liposuction?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. He and Lu Yanzhou will live stream from time to time, I watched him lose weight bit by bit.¡±


    ¡°Do you have a partner, love beauty?¡±


    ¡°Do you guys think that Director Xie is a bit more handsome now?¡±


    ¡°If one doesn¡¯t look at his body and only looks at his face, he¡¯s a bit handsome.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m an art student, and Director Xie¡¯s facial features are really good!¡±


    ¡°I took a photo of Director Xie and input it on the software. After Director Xie loses weight, he will be a handsome guy!¡±


    ¡­


    Of course, more people were discussing the movie: ¡°I have always liked Director Xie¡¯s movies, I hope this movie won¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be disappointing. After all, Lu Yanzhou even bought a special effects company in order to do good special effects.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou has always said that he has good acting skills, and Director Xie also said the same. Now I really want to know what he looks like in the movie.¡±


    ¡°Having watched the online dramas he acted in before, I doubt that Director Xie only said that just to coax him.¡±


    ¡­


    Among the various discussions, ¡®Under the Ruins¡¯ started playing.


    The apocalypse is coming, human beings are facing a catastrophe. In order to survive, everyone must unite.


    There are good and evil in human nature, but in such an extreme environment, there is more goodness.


    A certain underground city was unable to sustain itself due to lack of energy. Although some people robbed the chance of survival, most of them silently gave up the chance of survival to the children.


    They could snatch the chance of life from the children, but they didn¡¯t do it.


    The protagonist leads his men to look for the hope of survival. They all have a firm belief that even if they don¡¯t survive themselves, they want to give the thousands of people living under the ruins a chance to live!


    At the beginning, everyone was still thinking about who to look for in the movie. Many people in this movie were dirty, with scars and plaques on their faces, so they couldn¡¯t see their faces clearly.


    However, everyone was slowly immersed in it, and even felt extremely real.


    The movie is also really realistic.


    Lu Yanzhou knows how serious the radiation after the use of weapons of mass destruction is, and has seen the ruins in the apocalypse. The special effects he supervised throughout the process are enough to confuse it for real ones.


    Someone sobbed softly, then at this moment, halfway through the movie, Lu Yanzhou appeared.


    This is a pretty good underground city. When the protagonists entered, they saw an angel singing.


    It was actually a young man dressed in ordinary clothes. His hair was messed up like everyone else and his stage was also very small, but standing there, he seemed to brighten up everyone.


    When Xie Chengze filmed, he was full of love, and now the audience could also feel it too.


    But no one spoke, everyone was immersed in it!


    The character played by Lu Yanzhou made a stunning appearance followed by a shocking death, allowing the protagonist to find the hope of survival.


    When the movie ended, many crying people rushed to the place where the tickets were bought, planning to buy another ticket for a second time.


    At the same time, comments on the movie on the Internet also appeared blowing out.


    Although the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze was chaotic, only a few people paid attention to it. Most ordinary people didn¡¯t pay much attention to celebrity gossip.


    Especially after the Lu family deleted everything that should be deleted, ordinary people knew even less.


    After watching the movie, these people just thought it was good: ¡°This movie is really good! It¡¯s the best science fiction movie I¡¯ve ever seen!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very realistic!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m crying!¡±


    ¡­


    Some people are like this, but some people pay special attention to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze: ¡°Director Xie made this movie so well, he is really talented, no wonder Lu Yanzhou likes him.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting skills are really good! When he came out, I couldn¡¯t believe that he was Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°Director Xie, you are not human, you still let Lu Yanzhou die in the movie!¡±


    ¡­


    Of course, there are people who haven¡¯t seen it and don¡¯t believe that Lu Yanzhou can act well, and then they are besieged. Then after they watch the movie¡­


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou¡¯s acting skills are so good, why did he act like that in the previous web drama?¡±


    ¡°He made the web drama for fun. Isn¡¯t this movie different? This is a movie made by Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°After discovering that Lu Yanzhou is actually a top student, I seem to understand whatever he does.¡±


    ¡°No wonder Director Xie wants to add scenes to Lu Yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°When Director Xie filmed Lu Yanzhou, it was really full of love!¡±


    ¡°Thinking of Fang Hua again, the straight man of steel! When Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou were on the set, they definitely had an affair, but he didn¡¯t notice it at all!¡±


    ¡­


    The evaluation of ¡®Under the Ruins¡¯ is very good. Most people think that even if it¡¯s just for the special effects, they will buy a ticket to watch it, not to mention that the plot itself is very good!


    As a result, the box office has been rising all the way. It¡¯s getting higher and higher¡­


    As the box office got higher and higher, Xie Chengze became thinner and thinner.


    Father Lu and mother Lu finally felt that something was wrong.


    Their son kept saying that he liked fat people, but now? Xie Chengze has lost weight, but he still treats Xie Chengze as his treasure!


    So their sons lied to them back then, right?


    Their son has no aesthetic abnormalities at all!


    Father Lu didn¡¯t expect that at his age, he boasted that he could see through the tricks of the people around him at a glance, but he was deceived by his son, and he was also deceived twice.


    He said he wasn¡¯t with Xie Chengze yet, but he had already been with him a long time ago.


    He said he liked fat people, but ended up supporting Xie Chengze to lose weight.


    Father Lu got angry and quarreled with Lu Yanzhou again, but that was all.


    What else could he do, he was his own son after all?


    What¡¯s more, he could control Lu Yanzhou by stopping the card previously, but now he can¡¯t!


    Now Lu Yanzhou is not as fond of spending money as before¡­he also has money himself!


    After ¡®Under the Ruins¡¯ became popular, the special effects company was completely controlled by his son. With such a company and technology, would his son be short of money in the future?


    In addition¡­Xie Chengze directed ¡®Under the Ruins¡¯, so he also got a box office commission. The higher the box office, the higher the commission.


    Now the box office of this movie should be over 5 billion, and Xie Chengze¡¯s commission will not be less than 200 million.


    If they were to really drive their son out, their son will definitely be happily taken away by Xie Chengze.


    Father Lu could see that Xie Chengze really wanted to ¡®raise¡¯ his son!


    Didn¡¯t they see this man buying stuff for his son all day long?


    His son will never eat soft rice! Father Lu gritted his teeth and gave Xie Chengze some shares in Xingyu Entertainment, wanting people to know that it was his son who was doing unspoken rule to Xie Chengze all along. As for Xie Chengze doing unspoken rule to his son, that doesn¡¯t exist at all.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou¡¯s parents are really strange.


    As for the netizens outside: ¡°The Lu family seems very satisfied with Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, so many shares were given to him!¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is too happy, right?¡±


    ¡°If one looks like that, they will be happy too!¡±


    ¡­


    As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, but soon, they started discussing again: ¡°I know Director Xie should look good if he loses weight, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be so good-looking.¡±


    ¡°Wuuuuu, I used to be really blind.¡±


    ¡°I knew that the child born from my god and goddess must be handsome!¡±


    ¡°I thought Lu Yanzhou was very handsome before, far surpassing those little fresh meats, but now I think Director Xie is even more handsome!¡±


    ¡°So Lu Yanzhou has a really good vision and chose such a potential stock.¡±


    ¡°The gap between me and the rich lies in my lack of long-term vision!¡±


    ¡­


    After Xie Chengze lost weight, there¡¯s still some marks left on his body but that was not a big deal. Lu Yanzhou researched some medicine to remove the marks and applied it on him, then it gradually healed.


    Because he is a little bit thin with a good complexion, being led by Lu Yanzhou, he has also developed some muscles.


    Of course, the most important thing is his face.


    That appearance, that temperament, truly amazing!


    Among the stars in the entertainment industry, who can compare to Xie Chengze handsomeness?!


    ¡°Xie Chengze¡¯s appearance and family background are good. Thinking about it carefully, it¡¯s normal for Lu Yanzhou to choose him.¡±


    ¡°Some wealthy families choose celebrities! Xie Chengze¡¯s face is far superior to most celebrities and he is also a great director. He¡¯s really not bad at all!¡±


    ¡°Yes! And watching ¡®Under the Ruins¡¯, you will know how much Director Xie loves Lu Yanzhou. Who doesn¡¯t like a handsome man who loves them and is talented?¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze is definitely the most handsome director.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is too happy, right?¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou was indeed very happy.


    He accompanied Director Xie Chengze to produce one work after another, and watched Xie Chengze win one award after another, full of satisfaction in his heart.


    It¡¯s just¡­can the people around stop staring at Xie Chengze¡¯s face? Xie Chengze belongs to him alone!


    When Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze to attend the event, they held hands to show off their love, then he glared at the people around them.


    Xie Chengze followed beside him, smiling, and also stared at the people around him.


    Ever since Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity was exposed, countless people rushed forward one after another, trying to hook up with Lu Yanzhou.


    He would never let anyone come near him.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­belongs to him alone!


    T/N: Tis one dun!


    Next¡­eunuch boss and rebel leader!(???)

 CH 147

    Lu Yanzhou liked the peaceful modern world very much.


    He made movies with Xie Chengze and they lived happily ever after. When Xie Chengze passed away, he left this world with him.


    Putting Xie Chengze¡¯s soul fragment into his chest, Lu Yanzhou entered the next world.


    As soon as he regained consciousness, Lu Yanzhou felt cold, and only then did he realize that he was staying in a small mountain temple.


    This temple is really small and dilapidated, but judging from the situation in the temple, someone should still come to clean it.


    Lu Yanzhou began to accept the original owner¡¯s memory, and this acceptance made him a little helpless.


    The last world was really easy for him. With such a pair of rich parents, it was easy for him to get merit.


    So at that time, he hardly worried about merit.


    But this world is different¡­This is an ancient world, and his status is also very low.


    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body was a descendant of a yamen servant in a small county near the capital in this country called DaYan.


    The yamen gave them almost no money, and the amount they got every day was only some coins, which was not enough for a meal. However, these servants also have other ways to get money.


    Accepting bribes, asking for protection fees from stall sellers, extorting money, asking for money from the person who reported the case in the process of handling the case¡­The life of a yamen servant is also very nourishing.


    And they are essentially no different from local rogues.


    The original owner¡¯s father was a scoundrel who was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and even beat the original owner¡¯s mother to death. The original owner turned against his father because of this incident. After his father was injured, he ignored him and watched his father die wailing at home.


    However, the original owner is not a good person, except that he restrained himself from sleeping around and vowed to treat his wife well, as for other respects¡­he was no different from his father.


    Then, he almost ruined a female.


    Their small county is only a day¡¯s journey away from the capital, so there are many manors belonging to the wealthy families from the capital nearby. Some wealthy families will come here to live for a few days or hunt after they are free.


    When the original owner passed by a certain manor to play at a friend¡¯s house, he accidentally met a 14-year-old wealthy lady who lived in the manor.


    This wealthy lady was a bit playful. She used the excuse of taking a nap to go out from the window of her bedroom to play, and just happened to meet the original owner.


    Although the original owner was not close to women, he had been in contact with people of various places and streams since he was a child. Because of his low status, when he was in the yamen, he had to find ways to curry favor with those petty officials.


    He is the best at coaxing people.


    The wealthy lady was so beautiful that the original owner took a fancy to her at a glance. After he took a fancy to her, he began to court her.


    The original owner would definitely not be able to coax a well-informed woman, but she was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and this is her nominal age!


    In this era, even if girls of this age can get married, Lu Yanzhou still feels that the original owner has no sense of shame.


    The most frightening thing was that the little girl was attracted by the outside world described by the original owner, and even planned to elope with the original owner.


    The original owner and this young lady Wang agreed to meet at this dilapidated mountain temple, and then leave here by boat together.


    The original owner was 24 this year. He lost his mother when he was 7 years old and became a yamen servant at the age of 12. Although he lived at the bottom, he knew the dark side of the world very well.


    He knew that those big families valued the chastity of their daughters very much. If he really took young lady Wang away, young lady Wang¡¯s family would most likely not seek them out with great fanfare for the sake of reputation, but would mourn young lady Wang instead.


    The Wang family can¡¯t afford to lose this person!


    Of course, there is a small probability that the Wang family will be furious and want to kill him, but he is sincere to young lady Wang, so he feels that even if he has a bad life¡­He intends to fight. If he dies then he dies.


    As for young lady Wang. The original owner is not so kind as to arrange a future for young lady Wang. He only swore that he would treat young lady Wang well for the rest of his life and that there would be no other women, and nothing else.


    Fortunately, young lady Wang was probably discovered by her family members or she figured it out by herself, she didn¡¯t come to the appointment. She shouldn¡¯t have told her family about it.


    In short, the original owner waited all night in the mountain temple, but he didn¡¯t see young lady Wang, nor did he get revenge from the Wang family.


    In the original trajectory, after waiting all night, the original owner who was too cold could only leave the mountain temple and go home, thinking about going to see young lady Wang to ask what happened.


    However, he didn¡¯t succeed.


    When he was on the main road, he bumped into a team and was arrested and brought back to the capital.


    Lu Yanzhou jumped up suddenly. He couldn¡¯t delay any longer, he was going to wait on the road, waiting to hit that team!


    The original owner collided with Xie Chengze¡¯s team.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s identity in this world is the famous Jiu Qiansui, the eunuch who has real power, in Da Yan.


    He was loyal to the emperor, worked for the emperor, persecuted many officials, and the officials in the court hated him to the bone.


    This time Xie Chengze came to run a secret errand. On the way back to the capital, he met the original owner, so he captured the original owner and brought the original owner back to the capital, then he found a house to raise him.


    Lu Yanzhou probably knew the reason why he did this.


    Xie Chengze was facing a lot of troubles at that time, even the emperor¡¯s suspicion.


    He took the original owner back, pretending to like the original owner. He always came to spend the night with the original owner¡­


    Although this gave those officials more reason to attack him, it also made the emperor feel relieved about him.


    The original owner existed as Xie Chengze¡¯s weakness.


    Of course, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t really do anything with the original owner, at most he would just eat with the original owner.


    What about the original owner? The original owner naturally hated Xie Chengze, but the original owner¡¯s survival instinct prevented him from resisting. In fact¡­the original owner had been trying his best to please Xie Chengze, then pretended to be a tiger outside, using Xie Chengze¡¯s power to bully people everywhere, causing Xie Chengze a lot of trouble.


    Xie Chengze tried his best to show his love for the original owner, so not only did he help the original owner solve all kinds of troubles, but also ¡®obeyed everything¡¯ from the original owner.


    Xie Chengze did so well that the original owner thought Xie Chengze really liked him.


    The original owner loathed Xie Chengze, but at the same time relied on Xie Chengze¡¯s love to act. He wanted Xie Chengze to help him snatch young lady Wang back.


    Then, Xie Chengze put the original owner under house arrest.


    The original owner realized that Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t really be regarded as a woman who was dazzled by love, so he began to lie low and play small again. However, at the same time, he also thought about bringing down Xie Chengze.


    The original owner really got in touch with some people who had a grudge against Xie Chengze, but before he could make a move, the capital was destroyed.


    The rebels¡­Or the new emperor rushed into the capital, Da Yan dynasty changed. Xie Chengze and the original owner were also hanged on the city wall.


    Before being hanged, the original owner stayed by Xie Chengze¡¯s side and heard the conversation between Xie Chengze and the new emperor. Only then did he know that Xie Chengze had been sending information to the rebels all these years.


    Da Yan¡¯s late emperor was very bad. The late emperor was not only absurd, but also liked to go out of the palace to play. Once he went hunting, instead of going to a special hunting ground, he went to the field and shot Xie Chengze¡¯s younger brother as prey. Xie Chengze¡¯s parents didn¡¯t know the identity of the late emperor, so they came out to ask for justice, then they were also killed.


    Xie Chengze hated the imperial family very much, and it happened that he was a eunuch, so he entered the palace and became a eunuch, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.


    It has been hundreds of years since Da Yan was founded, so there are more and more people in the imperial family. Many of these people went out, and then they became domineering in their respective fiefs¡­


    Xie Chengze only wanted to kill one person at first, but seeing so much, he chose to overthrow the entire dynasty.


    However, his reputation was too bad, and he knew this, so after completing his goal, he accepted death calmly.


    At that time, the original owner begged Xie Chengze to let him go ¡ª the new emperor had benefited a lot from Xie Chengze. Although he couldn¡¯t let Xie Chengze go, he didn¡¯t mind letting go of the irrelevant original owner, but it depends on whether Xie Chengze wants it or not.


    Xie Chengze asked the new emperor to kill him and the original owner.


    Both the new emperor and the original owner felt that Xie Chengze did this because he really liked the original owner, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t think so.


    Xie Chengze did this because he probably didn¡¯t want the original owner to harm others.


    The original owner was not a good person in a small county town, he was able to extort money from poor people who couldn¡¯t get enough to eat without any remorse.


    When he gained power, he also did more evil things. It¡¯s just that Xie Chengze kept sending people to watch, so no one was killed.


    Isn¡¯t it harmful to keep this kind of person alive?


    Lu Yanzhou knew what it was like for Xie Chengze to really like someone, he was sure that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t like the original owner.


    However, Xie Chengze will definitely like him.


    As for the young lady Wang family¡­The Wang family is a big family, and the young lady Wang that the original owner likes is also the daughter of the Wang family¡¯s patriarch.


    This young lady Wang did not go to the appointment to eloped with the original owner. Not long after, she got engaged and after more than a year, she got married.


    The original owner stayed by Xie Chengze¡¯s side for many years, and never had a chance to see young lady Wang again. He only knew that the Wang family was persecuted by the late emperor, and the whole family fled and joined the rebel army.


    Young lady Wang¡¯s father joined the rebel army and was also very famous.


    Only the two of them know about the relationship between young lady Wang and him, so they could pretend that there is no such thing in the future.


    But, Xie Chengze¡­Xie Chengze needs a shield now, he could be it!


    As for the future¡­


    The world will be in chaos, heroes will rise together then. In order to ensure Xie Chengze¡¯s safety, he must intervene in these chaotic times.


    Lu Yanzhou walked forward.


    In ancient times, even the main roads were dirt roads, not to mention the small roads, which were completely small trails that appeared after a lot of people walked on.


    As Lu Yanzhou walked all the way, the dew on the weeds on the side of the road wet his trousers.


    When he finally came to the side of the main road, not long after, he saw a few people on horseback running from not far away, and the person sitting on the horse at the head was Xie Chengze?


    Lu Yanzhou looked up, met Xie Chengze¡¯s gaze, and then saw Xie Chengze pull the rein to stop, his eyes narrowed slightly: ¡°Tie him up and take him back!¡±


    After finishing speaking, he thought of something, then Xie Chengze added: ¡°Tie him up good for me.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s voice in this world is a bit shrill and his appearance is similar to the previous world, but he looks softer and his skin is more delicate.


    However, his eyes are very sharp. When looking at people, it seems to pierced people like needles.


    ¡°My lord¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou just called out, then he was tied up and sent to Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze put him on his horse¡¯s back, sat behind him, pulled the reins, then headed for the capital.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± This is really a bit bumpy.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze¡¯s heart was also a little confused.


    He felt very strange before. Although his cousin was young, she couldn¡¯t be coaxed by a random scoundrel. How could she agree to such an absurd thing as elopement.


    However, seeing this little scoundrel right now, he understands a little bit¡­This guy looks good, if his mouth is also sweet, it¡¯s normal for his cousin to like him.

 CH 148

    Xie Chengze¡¯s surname should have been Wang.


    The Wang family was one of the great families of Yan, very prominent, and his grandfather was the current head of the Wang family.


    He should have been in the limelight from birth, if only his body wasn¡¯t flawed.


    When he was born, the midwife found him to be neither male nor female, so he was sent to his grandfather.


    His grandfather thought that the Wang family shouldn¡¯t have a monster like him, so he asked his uncle to kill him and bury him.


    However, instead of killing him, his uncle sent him to the outskirts of the capital to be raised by a childless couple.


    This couple was very kind. They knew that he was physically flawed, but still raised him well and named him Xie Chengze.


    Their family was not particularly rich, but they were well off with lots of land, so he could even go to school.


    His life was very happy, even when the couple gave birth to their own flesh and blood, they still treated him very well, however¡­¡­After the emperor¡¯s trip, the couple and his brother are gone.


    He watched as his brother was born, so he loved that little guy very much. He fed him every day, gave him a bath, and listened to him call out gege¡­¡­


    That day when he left home to go to school, this still child hugged his legs, telling him to come back early, but by the time he came home¡­¡­the child had been killed by a drunken emperor with an arrow.


    He did his parents¡¯ funeral, sold the fields left by his parents, and enter the palace.


    At that time, he did not know his relationship with the Wang family yet, then his eldest uncle suddenly approached him. He realized that he should have the Wang surname.


    Over the years, he had very little interaction with the Wang family.


    His eldest uncle had secretly given him some money, but didn¡¯t ask him to help with anything until this time when he came out on an errand and inadvertently ran into his eldest uncle, who begged him for help.


    His eldest uncle¡¯s youngest daughter had offended a favored princess in the capital, so she was sent over here by his eldest uncle to suffer a bit.


    As a result, this little cousin of his has quite some ¡®ability¡¯. She scolds away all those people around her and secretly goes out to play, then she also meets a small scoundrel.


    When his uncle found out about this matter, he didn¡¯t dare to alarm the two, lest the scoundrel do something to damage his daughter¡¯s reputation.


    After thinking about it, his uncle approached him and asked him to check the origin of the scoundrel.


    He checks this scoundrel from bottom to top. Although he never did such things as murder and arson, he was still a local ruffian.


    This guy is also ruthless. It was said that when his father is seriously ill, he doesn¡¯t even feed his father.


    His cousin even liked such a person? He was a bit surprised at that time, and what was even more surprising was later ¡ª last night, his cousin even wanted to elope.


    His eldest uncle had already interrogated his cousin and knew where the scoundrel was, so he approached him again, wanting him to kill the scoundrel.


    He agreed to do so, and arranged for a man to go to the dilapidated temple to keep an eye on him, so that when the scoundrel left the dilapidated temple, his man would come to find him, and then he would bring his men there to kidnap the scoundrel.


    His eldest uncle hated this scoundrel to the bone and wanted to kill this scoundrel, he understood that but he also had other plans.


    The current emperor is immoral and tyrannical. Thinking that eunuchs are also men, so when he plays with women, he makes them join him.


    He was disgusted with these, so in order to escape, he can only lie that he dislikes women.


    After hearing this, the emperor didn¡¯t force him, but since he said this, he couldn¡¯t let it go like this. He has long planned to find a man to raise around.


    Most men can¡¯t stand this humiliation getting raised by the eunuchs to play with in the mansion.He also does not want to harm innocent people, so he planned to find a bad person to take care to train.


    There are a lot of evil people in this world, but less good-looking ones. He has not been able to find a suitable one until now. This time, he decided to help his eldest uncle, then found that this scoundrel is very suitable.


    Xie Chengze looked down at the man lying in front of him.


    A few days ago when he investigated this person, he saw this person¡¯s side profile.At that time, although he felt that this person¡¯s appearance was to his liking, it only stops here.


    However, today when he saw him ¡­¡­his heart unexpectedly somewhat moved.


    He didn¡¯t expect him to be a face-judger.


    He thinks back to when he first saw this person. This person is forcing an old man, who was selling vegetables, in the county to give him. Doesn¡¯t matter how miserable the old man cried, he still take all the old man¡¯s money¡­¡­


    Xie Chengze laughed coldly in his heart. That quick heartbeat of his should just be an illusion, it¡¯s impossible for him to like such a person.


    Lu Yanzhou was lying on the back of the horse and was turned upside down.


    The original owner, in order to elope, brought all his belongings. His bag also contained a lot of food. However, last night he was waiting anxiously for a person, his heart was anxious, so he did not eat anything¡­¡­Fortunately, he did not eat, otherwise he would have vomited it all out.


    Fortunately, at noon, Xie Chengze put him down. However, Xie Chengze did not untie the rope binding his arms, nor did he remove the piece of cloth in his mouth.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡­¡± He already saw Xie Chengze for half a day, but he didn¡¯t even say a word.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou next to him, his face turned ugly.


    This little scoundrel looked at him pitifully, it actually made him want to release this person and give him some water and food.


    He had never been a kind-hearted person, so there shouldn¡¯t be any reason for such thoughts to arise. It was simply because he liked this person¡¯s appearance in his heart so much that he couldn¡¯t bear to see this person suffer.


    He, unexpectedly and strangely, like such a scoundrel!


    Although he had been physically flawed since childhood, Xie Chengze had always felt that he was a man!


    Besides making an heir, he was better than ordinary men in every aspect!


    But now, he actually likes another man?


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Why was Xie Chengze always glaring at him?


    Well, he was a scoundrel who had done a lot of bad things, so it was normal for Xie Chengze to glare at him.


    Lu Yanzhou, who has the original owner¡¯s memories, knows that Xie Chengze had come to their country and should have been living there for a few days. The original owner has even fought with Xie Chengze.


    The original owner had even met Xie Chengze¡¯s men a few times.


    In the original historical trajectory, the original owner recognized Xie Chengze and Xie Chengze¡¯s people, so he became very obedient to Xie Chengze. The original owner felt that Xie Chengze should have taken a fancy to him in that small country town, fell in love with him at first sight, that¡¯s why he kidnapped him.


    Lu Yanzhou knows that the truth is absolutely not so. Xie Chengze probably capture the original owner because he saw the original owner doing evil and wanted to find someone to pretend to be his lover.


    Taking the original owner as a lover is really quite appropriate, after all, the original owner is someone who knows current affairs and looks good.


    In this short period of time, it wasn¡¯t easy for Xie Chengze to find someone who looked like him.


    After Xie Chengze had eaten, he once again carried Lu Yanzhou on his horse and led him towards the capital.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    This dynasty that Lu Yanzhou traveled through had a similar level of development as the Tang Dynasty.


    A lot of things that were already common on Earth¡¯s Ming and Qing Dynasties were not available here. Because of the low productivity, the lives of the people here were very difficult.


    Especially since this dynasty had existed for hundreds of years!


    DaYan¡¯s emperor¡¯s power was not that great, and the control over place was not strong, plus many places were sealed to the imperial family members and became the fiefdom of the imperial family members¡­¡­The management of the whole country was a bit chaotic.


    The princes in the fief have to pay taxes to the capital every year, but they also need the taxes for eating, drinking, and having fun, so they all exploit people in the fief.


    In addition, the yamen servants at this time are basically people like the original owner. They will go to make money for themselves after going to collect taxes¡­


    Under layers of exploitation, people¡¯s lives were miserable, so they could only sell their land¡­¡­


    For hundreds of years, the land has been annexed. Many people do not have their own land to become tenant farmers. They work hard and are busy for a year to only have 90% of the grain in the field handed over. Usually, they can only eat the few wild vegetables grown to fill their belly.


    Besides that, when the harvest is not good, they also have to sell their children to pay the land rent.


    In recent years, natural disasters are frequent, so starving people are also everywhere.


    According to what Lu Yanzhou knows, people couldn¡¯t survive in many places in DaYan, so they became bandits to fight against the government. In another year, many rebels will arise in various places in DaYan.


    Only DaYan¡¯s capital city remains peaceful.


    Well, because of the low productivity, DaYan¡¯s capital city at this time was also in a state of disrepair, with low-rise houses everywhere, and the ordinary people of the capital were all skinny.


    He had been to the ancient world before. The difference between the capital of the other world and this world¡¯s capital city was really very big!


    There were of course prosperous locations, but then that was all places where the nobles lived!


    Speaking of which, the palace at this time was also very small. Besides, the current emperor is a licentious person too. He not only married a lot of women, but also robbed a lot of women back¡­The palace couldn¡¯t contain so many people, so many of the current emperor¡¯s consorts were arranged to live outside the palace.


    Some unfavored consorts even have to weave their own clothes to feed themselves.


    And Xie Chengze¡¯s residence is quite close to where those consorts live.


    This city is not big, and the house that Xie Chengze lives in is not big either, but compared to other people¡¯s homes¡­¡­here should be considered luxurious.


    It was already afternoon when they arrived here, and just as Xie Chengze arrived, several eunuchs greeted him with a not so pleasant smell.


    Xie Chengze carried Lu Yanzhou down from his horse and said to these people, ¡°This is the person I have my eyes on, you take him to wash up then place him next door to my room.¡±


    ¡°Yes, lord jui qiansui.¡± These little eunuchs answered.


    With a tug, Xie Chengze untied the rope on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body, and pinched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s chin, sneering, ¡°Kid, I have my eyes on you¡­What to do next, you should be clear.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou hastily nodded.


    Only then was Xie Chengze satisfied and waved his hand, ¡°Go!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou obediently followed those little eunuchs.


    He also wanted to wash up.


    Ordinary people these days don¡¯t bathe much because they don¡¯t have enough firewood to boil water.


    The original owner was already considered clean, but he only wiped his neck and armpits every time he went to see young lady Wang.


    And lying on the horse¡¯s back all the way, that horse¡¯s scent¡­Lu Yanzhou really wants to take a bath!

 CH 149

    After Xie Chengze entered his room, someone brought him hot water to take a bath.


    He was busy working outside, so now he just wanted to take a bath.


    While taking a bath, Xie Chengze reflected on his previous behavior.


    Was he too fierce to that little scoundrel? Will this person be afraid of him? Is he going too far by saying that he fell in love with him?


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze¡¯s face turned dark again.


    Before he caught this scoundrel and came back, he had already thought about everything. At the beginning, he will teach this scoundrel some lessons ¡ª this kind of person that only bullied the weak and fears the strong can only be made obedient if he knows how to be afraid.


    He should just follow the plan, why worry so much?


    As for him saying he directly fell in love with this person, that shouldn¡¯t be said going too far, right? In the entire capital, who doesn¡¯t know that he, Xie Chengze, always does things as he pleases?


    After tidying up briefly, Xie Chengze put on gorgeous clothes and entered the palace, paying his respects to the emperor.


    The current emperor loves fine clothes, fine wine, and beautiful women¡­He likes everything that is beautiful and makes him happy.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s ability to get his favor has something to do with Xie Chengze¡¯s own skills, and also has something to do with Xie Chengze¡¯s good looks.


    Most of the eunuchs in the palace are ugly, dry and thin, and they also have a smell on their bodies, but Xie Chengze is different from them.


    Xie Chengze went out this time because of officials¡¯ corruption, so he made a special trip to find evidence.


    However, the emperor obviously wasn¡¯t interested in these things. He instead asked Xie Chengze if he had tasted any delicacies or seen any wonderful things.


    ¡°Your Majesty, the place I went to this time is not far from the capital, and the good things there have already been dedicated to your majesty, but I have heard some interesting things.¡± Xie Chengze laughed.


    ¡°Tell me about it.¡± Said the emperor.


    Xie Chengze started talking about some gossip.


    For example, the young master of a family fell in love with a young lady, sneaked in and entered the old lady¡¯s yard instead and was beaten by a group of maids.


    Another example is that there is a bad person who, after killing someone, sets up a clever scheme to blame others, but in the end the officials find out the real culprit.


    What Xie Chengze said was all interesting things that won¡¯t make the emperor dissatisfied, so he described it vividly and interestingly, which made the emperor feel very happy.


    Xie Chengze is 26 this year. He entered the palace at the age of twelve and has been in the palace for fourteen years. He knows enough about this emperor.


    This emperor ascended the throne at a young age. Everyone followed him and no one dared to accuse him. He could do whatever he wanted, and it was also the people around him who were unlucky if he did something wrong, so even if he was now in his forties, he was still a big kid.


    Do as one pleases, no rules and regulations.


    Xie Chengze even felt fortunate that when he came to the emperor, the emperor was already quite old.


    One has to know that when he was young, he was very interested in eunuchs¡¯ bodies. He had tortured several eunuchs to death, and he watched how ordinary people became eunuchs.


    Finally coaxing the emperor well, Xie Chengze left the palace exhausted.


    At first, he wanted to kill the emperor, but he soon discovered that the rest of the imperial family was no better than the emperor.


    Some were even scarier and crueler.


    The officials of DaYan are actually not much better, even the Wang family where he was born.


    In Yuzhou, one-third of the land belongs to the Wang family. In the past, every time a natural disaster occurred, it was a carnival for the Wang family, because they could buy a lot of land at a low price.


    When officials in the imperial court went to Yuzhou to work, they had to listen to the Wang family no matter where. They had to give the Wang family a share of the taxes.


    And when the Wang family¡¯s children commit crimes, they can easily find someone to take the blame!


    What¡¯s even more ridiculous is that compared to other big families, the Wang family is pretty good. At least the tenant farmers of the Wang family are less likely to starve to death. Last year, there was a drought in Yuzhou and the Wang family even exempted the tenant farmers from the land rent.


    In addition, his uncle is not bad. He had come into contact with his grandfather and even his father in the imperial court, and these two people were the two people he didn¡¯t want to know at all.


    Back at his residence, just as Xie Chengze entered, a eunuch in his thirties came over to greet him: ¡°Godfather.¡±


    Xie Chengze is 26 years old this year, but his male-feminine appearance made him look very young. When he goes outside, even if he says that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, others will definitely believe him.


    However, when he was called ¡®godfather¡¯ by a eunuch in his thirties, his expression didn¡¯t change for a moment. He led the man to his study.


    Xie Chengze has been in power for eight years. During the eight years, he has taken in many godsons.


    These godsons include eunuchs and healthy ones, many of whom are older than him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± Entering the study, Xie Chengze sat on the mahogany chair with a sharp voice.


    The eunuch then spoke in a similar voice, talking about what happened in the capital and the palace these days.


    The current emperor is not a nostalgic person, in fact he likes to try all kinds of new things and will just promote whoever makes him happy.


    Xie Chengze wanted the favor to last, so he shouldn¡¯t leave him for a long time. However, so as not to be taken advantage of by others, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t leave him for long, but he also couldn¡¯t bear to be with him every day.


    He will leave for a few days from time to time, and at such times, he needs someone to help him pay attention to the emperor¡¯s situation.


    This person talked a lot, and also mentioned many things from the imperial court: ¡°Godfather, Jiangnan was hit by a snowstorm last winter, many people were frozen to death, and there¡¯s also a plague in the spring¡­King Qi ordered the city to be massacred.¡±


    ¡°En.¡± Xie Chengze responded lightly.


    As far as he knows, there are people who are dissatisfied in many places, but so far, there is no force that can shake this dynasty.


    Besides, there is little he can do. The most he can do now is to clean up those small officials that like to prey on people around the capital.


    Further than this, he can¡¯t control it.


    After the report was over, Xie Chengze said: ¡°Sheng Yuan, withdraw four people from Nanshan, I want them to help with an errand.¡±


    Xie Chengze has many forces under his command, but the one he trusts the most is the guards in Nanshan, whom he kept in Nanshan.


    These people were all bought by him eight years ago as children no older than 10 years old. They were raised little by little to be absolutely loyal to him.


    ¡°Yes, godfather.¡± Sheng Yuan agreed, and slowly retreated.


    Sheng Yuan is Xie Chengze¡¯s confidant. Coincidentally, he is the one who watches his castration with his own eyes.


    The Sheng family is not as prominent as the Wang family, but it is not a small family either. At that time, the Sheng family objected to a certain decision made by the emperor. The emperor had the teenager Sheng Yuan captured and castrated.


    The Sheng family abandoned Sheng Yuan, and Sheng Yuan stayed in the palace until Xie Chengze discovered him and took him for his own use.


    After Sheng Yuan left, it was already late at night, so Xie Chengze went back to his bedroom to sleep.


    He remembered a certain someone, then he deliberately forgot him.


    The cleaned up Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze tied him home but didn¡¯t enjoy him?


    Well, at this stage, it¡¯s impossible for him to develop anything with Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze should have known that he was a ¡®scoundrel¡¯ before he was tied up, so he just wanted to use him as a shield¡­Of course it is impossible for him to fake a show for him.


    Therefore, he cleaned himself up for Xie Chengze first.


    He believes that after getting along for a period of time, Xie Chengze will know that he is not like the original owner!


    The next morning, Lu Yanzhou got up early and proposed to go into the kitchen to make something to eat.


    Then he was rejected.


    The servants didn¡¯t even let him go out, then they brought him some unpalatable food.


    It¡¯s not that Xie Chengze treated him badly, it¡¯s mainly because in this era, people still don¡¯t use oil to stir-fry, so the food is simply stewed or roasted with very few condiments, so it¡¯s naturally not very tasty.


    It¡¯s actually not bad, there is a piece of mutton in this meal, which is already very rich.


    Lu Yanzhou was locked up like this for two days. Then, the servants finally took him out, saying that Xie Chengze wanted to have a meal with him.


    In the original owner¡¯s memory, there is such a scene too.


    The original owner was the same as him. He didn¡¯t get any good treatment in the first two days, then he met Xie Chengze at dinner on the third day. Xie Chengze said that he liked the original owner¡¯s face very much, and asked the original owner to take good care of him, and then arranged four guards for the original owner.


    After that, the original owner was much freer. The original owner who was born at the bottom had no pride. He already knew Xie Chengze¡¯s identity, so he tried to please Xie Chengze in every possible way.


    Xie Chengze also treated the original owner better and better. He even allowed the original owner to go shopping and gave the original owner a lot of money. If someone offended the original owner, he helped the original owner and taught them a lesson¡­


    Even if the original owner bullied others, Xie Chengze also helped the original owner to settle the matter.


    The original owner gradually started to float¡­however, since he didn¡¯t even know any character, he couldn¡¯t make any waves.


    Lu Yanzhou felt that everything about the original owner should be under Xie Chengze¡¯s control.


    Lu Yanzhou was brought in front of Xie Chengze.


    The table was already full of food, including a whole stewed chicken, a piece of roasted lamb, a plate of pickles, a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a plate of dough cakes.


    The rich people in DaYan do not like to eat vegetables, except for pickled vegetables, which is not surprising. The taste of boiled vegetables is definitely not as good as meat.


    ¡°How have you been these few days?¡± Xie Chengze asked with a smile, but his narrowed eyes and his sharp voice always made people feel that he was threatening them.


    Many people will definitely be afraid of such Xie Chengze, but Lu Yanzhou is not afraid, he smiled at Xie Chengze: ¡°I am doing well, thank you lord Qiansui.¡± ¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face turned dark instantly.


    According to the original plan, he will lock up Lu Yanzhou for a few days, so that this person could reflect before seeing him again.


    Judging by this person¡¯s attitude, he should have thought it through and even began to please him.


    But he¡­


    He has always thought about this person these days. Now, at this moment, seeing this person smiling, he actually felt very happy too.


    Xie Chengze felt that he was crazy!


    After calming his state of mind, Xie Chengze said: ¡°I like your face very much, are you willing to stay here with me?¡± ¡±


    Xie Chengze said this gently, but his expression¡­It seemed that if Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t agree, he would kill him.


    Without any hesitation and a smile on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face, he answered: ¡°Of course I am willing, it¡¯s my honor to accompany lord Qiansui.¡± ¡±


    The original owner was hesitant at that time, but he was stared at by Xie Chengze¡¯s cold gaze so he tremblingly agreed.


    However, he is different. He wishes to be able to accompany Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou coldly when he heard this. This person is very smart. If he treated his cousin like this before, it¡¯s no wonder that his cousin was willing to elope¡­


    Seeing that Xie Chengze¡¯s face was not good after he finished speaking, Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°Your face doesn¡¯t look well, did you encounter something bad?¡±


    As far as he knew, Xie Chengze¡¯s life in the capital was not good. The emperor was difficult to serve, the officials of the dynasty all hated the eunuch in power.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou was a little distressed, he took a spoon, scooped a bowl of chicken soup with a chicken drumstick: ¡°Milord, eat something.¡±


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, took it and ate it without saying anything.

 CH 150

    In the original trajectory, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t talk much to the original owner at first, but what Lu Yanzhou wanted was not the original owner¡¯s treatment.


    He smiled and brought food to Xie Chengze: ¡°My lord, you are so thin, you should eat more.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou coldly. When he wanted to please someone, he would make them feel extremely comfortable, but when he looked at people with a cold face, it would also make people fearful.


    In the past, when he looked at people like this, the people around him were silent and did not dare to say a word.


    However, Lu Yanzhou in front of him still had a playful smile: ¡°My lord, I¡¯m a good cook, can I use the kitchen? I can cook for you.¡±


    Xie Chengze has seen countless people. When people around him flatter him, he can always see disdain or greed in their eyes, but the eyes of the person in front of him are very clean and full of love for him.


    This man is too good at acting, too good at disguising.


    What¡¯s even more frightening is that he was even moved by this disguise.


    Xie Chengze blinked and opened his eyes again, then said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    After eating, Xie Chengze left quickly. At the same time , he also summoned the four Nanshan guards that Sheng Yuan had found for him.


    The looks are very ordinary, very good.


    With this thought in his mind, Xie Chengze quickly suppressed it and somewhat despised himself.


    He had only seen Lu Yanzhou a few times, so why did he get so confused by him? Even finding people to follow him, he wanted to choose ugly one.


    However, Lu Yanzhou actually doesn¡¯t like men at all, he likes women.


    And he is not even a man.


    Xie Chengze regained his composure and said, ¡°The four of you take turns to keep an eye on Lu Yanzhou. Don¡¯t let him get hurt and don¡¯t let him leave the house for now. As for his actions in the house, there is no need to restrict him.¡±


    He wants to observe to see if this person is suitable to be his ¡®favored¡¯ person.


    ¡°Yes, master.¡± The four Nanshan guards responded.


    Xie Chengze then dismissed them. After they left, he called Sheng Yuan and asked him to arrange someone to investigate Lu Yanzhou in detail.


    He had checked Lu Yanzhou before but he didn¡¯t ask the people around Lu Yanzhou because he was afraid of alarming him.


    He wants to investigate again.


    Xie Chengze made some arrangements, then entered the palace.


    The sun was already high up at this time, but the time was just right ¡ª the emperor usually woke up at this time.


    As soon as he entered the palace, Xie Chengze heard the emperor scolding people, so he didn¡¯t go in hastily but first inquired about the situation.


    His majesty the emperor has a backache, which is the reason why he was furious today.


    Xie Chengze immediately asked someone to find someone who is good at massage, then asked for hot water, towels, then went in with a basin, looking down.


    At the same time, Lu Yanzhou waited for Nanshan guards.


    These four people were named Xie Jia, Xie Yi, Xie Bing, and Xie Ding respectively, following Xie Chengze¡¯s surname.


    They are his guards arranged by Xie Chengze, and they will follow him in turn in the future.


    These four people have resolute faces, they are not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old.


    Although in this era, people aged 15 or 16 work like adults, Lu Yanzhou still feels like he is using child labor.


    Looking back on the original owner¡¯s memory¡­Every time the original owner was in a bad mood, he would secretly beat and scold the four of them, so Lu Yanzhou was also a little embarrassed.


    However, the fate of these four people was better than the original owner. Before Xie Chengze died with the original owner, he had already made arrangements for these four people and his confidantes, and even gave them a bright future.


    ¡°Hello, my name is Lu Yanzhou, can you take me to the kitchen?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Jia and Xie Yi took Lu Yanzhou to the kitchen.


    Xie Chengze loves cleanliness. The kitchen in his house is quite clean, cleaner than any kitchen the original owner has seen before.


    There are many cooking utensils, ceramics, bronze, and iron, but there is no iron pot that Lu Yanzhou is familiar with.


    There¡¯s also only a few seasonings, but fortunately there are several kinds of sauces, even soy sauce.


    Adding these together, it¡¯s barely usable.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to cook something delicious, so he asked the chef in the kitchen to learn more about cooking¡­


    Then he was told that they would also use oil for cooking, but lard is very precious. There was very little of it in the kitchens, so they couldn¡¯t use it more than they had to.


    Besides¡­the kitchen didn¡¯t have all the vegetables that Lu Yanzhou wanted.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± The original owner has never seen stir-fry cooking, but obviously, the upper class people in this country already know how to use oil to cook.


    At this time, not many people use vegetable oil, and animal oil is scarce, so people don¡¯t do it much.


    It¡¯s just¡­even the cleverest housewife can¡¯t cook without rice1One won¡¯t get anywhere without the right tools.


    However, before Xie Chengze came back, Lu Yanzhou fumbled to make two dishes. One was scrambled eggs and the other was mutton meat pie.


    It smells pretty good.


    After putting the dishes in the kitchen to warm up, Lu Yanzhou went to wait at the door. Then, after waiting for a long time, he finally saw Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze, who came home later than usual, saw Lu Yanzhou waiting for him with a smile, he suddenly wanted to smile too.


    But he quickly restrained the smile.


    ¡°My lord, I made two dishes for you, would you like to try them?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile.


    Xie Chengze knew that the person in front of him wanted to please him, so he didn¡¯t refuse: ¡°Okay.¡±


    The mutton meat pie made by Lu Yanzhou is crispy. He used a lot of lard under the chef¡¯s distressed eyes, so it was fragrant and crispy.


    Not to mention the scrambled eggs, this is definitely a simple and delicious dish.


    Xie Chengze obviously didn¡¯t find the scrambled eggs novel, but the flatbread, after he took two bites, he asked, ¡°How is this made?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t hide anything and said it straightforwardly.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°It¡¯s the first time I has eaten such bread, it¡¯s delicious.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll make it for you next time. I can also make other things for you,¡± said Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze suddenly asked: ¡°What do you want?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good to stay by your side, my lord.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze took another bite of the flatbread in his hand: ¡°You are very good at coaxing people.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth.¡±


    Of course, Xie Chengze would not believe that Lu Yanzhou was telling the truth. He had seen many people like Lu Yanzhou. Besides, many eunuchs in the palace were like this.


    They can greet people they dislike with a smile, but if they turn their back to them, they will definitely retaliate.


    Xie Chengze chuckled: ¡°Then you will always stay by my side.¡±


    This person had a great influence on him, he actually had the idea of sending this person away just now.


    However, since he wants to stay, let him stay.


    After speaking, Xie Chengze turned around and left.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Truly heartless.


    However, he is living a good life in Xie Chengze¡¯s house. The original owner can¡¯t even afford to eat meat every day!


    Xie Chengze went to the study to deal with some affairs.


    As a result, not long after he entered, he heard a knock on the door. The person next to him opened the door, he saw Lu Yanzhou holding a teapot.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Xie Chengze asked with a frown.


    ¡°Bringing tea to you, my lord,¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled, ¡°My lord, can I stay here and read?¡±


    Xie Chengze obviously avoided him, so he had to take the initiative.


    He believed that Xie Chengze would not reject him.


    Thinking about it carefully¡­When he was with Xie Chengze before, Xie Chengze never refused him.


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°Do you know how to read?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiled again: ¡°My lord, I can learn.¡±


    Xie Chengze turned his head away from Lu Yanzhou¡¯s smile: ¡°You think learning to read is so easy?¡±


    ¡°Even if I learn one character a day, if I take my time, I can always learn a lot of words.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    Xie Chengze took out a piece of paper, wanted to write something but then suddenly asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    He knew the name of the person in front of him, but¡­he didn¡¯t ask him before, right?


    ¡°My name is Lu Yanzhou.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. The name of the original owner was given by the original owner¡¯s mother, which is different from the people around him.


    Speaking of which, the original owner¡¯s mother was actually literate and the daughter of a small family. Later, the whole family was sold, so she was bought back by the original owner¡¯s father.


    It¡¯s a pity that she died early, she didn¡¯t have time to teach the original owner.


    Xie Chengze wrote ¡®Â½ÑåÖÛ(Lu Yanzhou)¡¯ on the paper and handed it to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°This is your name.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took the paper and asked again: ¡°My lord, can I use the brush and ink?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Answered Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou took a brush and dipped it in ink, then next to his name written by Xie Chengze, he wrote ¡®Â½ÑåÖÛ(Lu Yanzhou)¡¯.


    He controlled himself so he didn¡¯t write the characters too well, however, the strokes were still right.


    Xie Chengze kept looking at Lu Yanzhou, he couldn¡¯t help being stunned when he saw this scene.


    He thought for a moment, took back the paper on which he had written, then handed Lu Yanzhou another blank paper: ¡°You try writing again.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou only had a blank piece of paper without reference, but he still wrote his name stroke by stroke, there was nothing wrong with it.


    Xie Chengze suddenly stood up. He stared at Lu Yanzhou for a moment, took a deep breath, then said, ¡°If you want to study in the future, come here, I will teach you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you. You¡¯re so nice.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled at Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heartbeat accelerated again. He thought about it, took out a book, read a sentence to Lu Yanzhou, then wrote down the line on the white paper. While writing, he also read it to him again.


    After writing, he asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Can you read this sentence?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou said.


    ¡°Keep studying.¡± Xie Chengze asked Lu Yanzhou to study.


    Lu Yanzhou took the book and honestly went to write next to it.


    He deliberately showed off in front of Xie Chengze. If he didn¡¯t¡­Xie Chengze may really think that he was a scoundrel.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t take long to copy the line twice. Xie Chengze once again gave him a blank paper for him to write, then after finding that he could write word for word, he looked at him in shock.


    Lu Yanzhou¡­he really has the ability to never forget!

 CH 151

    xie chengze lived in the countryside when he was young. when he first entered the palace, he was just a lowly eunuch who was bullied by others. now, he is an eunuch with power in his hands.


    he has seen all kinds of people and knows people of all classes.


    most of the people living at the bottom lived life in a muddle-headed manner that they can hardly get enough to eat. they don¡¯t even know how to use lard to make scrambled egg and noodles.


    it¡¯s even more strange that lu yanzhou learned to recognize characters so quickly.


    at that moment, xie chengze thought a lot, such as someone might have deliberately arranged for lu yanzhou to come to him.


    however, he soon found it impossible.


    he went to investigate lu yanzhou personally. if lu yanzhou was arranged by someone¡­it would be impossible for him to run into him and expose him as soon as he appear.


    therefore, there is a high probability that lu yanzhou is really talented, and perhaps he also has some strange encounters.


    such a talented person, he may get a backlash from teaching him too much if he is a little careless.


    xie chengze took a few glances at lu yanzhou, read a paragraph to lu yanzhou, then wrote that paragraph again and showed it to lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou smiled and then went to the side to practice again. he didn¡¯t leave until xie chengze packed his things and left.


    the xie chengze in this world is not the simple prince he met before. his identity in this world is still questionable. to get close to xie chengze, he needs to take his time.


    he can also use this time to learn about the world.


    one must know, although he has the original owner¡¯s memory, the original owner actually doesn¡¯t understand anything.


    on the second day, lu yanzhou went to the kitchen as usual, planning to make two meals for xie chengze.


    then he learned from the kitchen that xie chengze ordered the kitchen staff to study the puff pastry he made yesterday, and today he brought the cook into the palace.


    it seems pretty good¡­did he help xie chengze get favor?


    the emperor was really interested in exotic foods.


    there were very few ingredients, so lu yanzhou could only use the existing ingredients to make two simple meals. when he was free, he asked xie bing and xie ding, who was in charge of following him today: ¡°do you know how to read?¡±


    xie bing and xie ding were a little proud: ¡°we can read!¡±


    ¡°then teach me how to read.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze taught lu yanzhou how to read yesterday. xie bing and xie ding thought it was nothing big to teach him, so they did.


    it was only after lu yanzhou started learning that they discovered that they knew very few characters, they only knew about two or three hundred characters. not only that, they only memorized characters by rote, they didn¡¯t quite understand the meaning of the characters.


    this is also normal. the text in the current time is not only difficult to write but each word can represent many meanings, and there are few enlightenment reading materials.


    yesterday after xie chengze taught him to recognize some words, he randomly picked a sentence, such as ¡®du qiju cross over liangshan and stop at qixia¡¯, it¡¯s quite difficult to read and understand.


    jia, yi, bing and ding have learned hundreds of words probably for making taking orders more convenient.


    lu yanzhou had lived in the ancient world before and learned a lot. he must surpass xie chengze in terms of knowledge, but since he has not accumulated enough merit in this world, he can¡¯t let the small world find out that something is wrong, so he can only take his time.


    as for the future, when his connection with this small world deepens and he accumulates more and more merits, the small world will no longer reject him but will regard him as a part of itself and even love him.


    while xie chengze was away, lu yanzhou was either in the kitchen or learning how to read and write. in just a few days, he had learned all the characters that jia, yi, bing and ding know. he also learned some other characters from xie chengze, so he could teach jia, yi, bing, and ding too.


    jia, yi, bing, and ding who were originally proud of their ability to read: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t think xie chengze¡¯s house was big because he had seen many big houses before. in fact, this place is already quite big with several dozens of servants.


    lu yanzhou also took the time to invite a doctor to see these servants, and told them some ways to relieve pain.


    because of this, he has sporadic merits recorded, which is still very very little compared to the merits needed to cure xie chengze though.


    a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and xie chengze finally got lu yanzhou¡¯s detailed investigation.


    the results of the investigation were similar to what he had found before, but also different.


    it is true that lu yanzhou hooked up with his cousin and almost ruin a lady, but lu yanzhou was very tight-lipped and never told other people about it, so no one knew about it.


    as for things like oppressing the common people, lu yanzhou did a lot.


    however, he is very loyal to his friends and has many good brothers.


    in addition¡­lu yanzhou¡¯s mother also has a little background. she was once the daughter of a small family. this woman was beaten to death by lu yanzhou¡¯s father.


    in this case, it¡¯s understandable for lu yanzhou to just watch his father die.


    and lu yanzhou was innately smart. if his mother had taught him when he was young, that would explain how he knew some food that he didn¡¯t know.


    as for lu yanzhou¡¯s actions during this time¡­xie chengze now feels more and more that this person is not simple.


    such a person is not easy to control, in fact, he should be replaced¡­but xie chengze quickly vetoed it.


    it¡¯s difficult to find a suitable person like lu yanzhou.


    not long after the subordinates in xie chengze¡¯s study left, lu yanzhou came in.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou, raised the corners of his lips, and said in a cold and clear voice, ¡°i have someone to investigate you.¡±


    lu yanzhou was not surprised, and smiled embarrassedly: ¡°i used to be a little scoundrel. my lord, as one knows, sometimes people have to do something to fit in.¡±


    the original protagonist lived with a group of idlers and scoundrels when he was young, then he also became the yamen¡¯s minion when he grew up. it¡¯s really impossible for him to grow into a good person.


    xie chengze stared at lu yanzhou for a moment, then he chuckled and stretched out a finger to pick up lu yanzhou¡¯s chin: ¡°i¡¯m not a good person. i don¡¯t care what you did before, i just like your face.¡±


    he was telling the truth.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t want to admit this at first, but after these few days, he had to admit it.


    he fell in love with the man he snatched back.


    he thought his cousin was too stupid to like such a man before, but now, he also likes him too.


    in these years, he has never liked anyone, so he thinks that he is not interested in these romantic things, but he never thought that he would suddenly fall into the pit!


    like, he likes the person that like his cousin.


    xie chengze despised himself a little, and then he saw lu yanzhou smile: ¡°it¡¯s my honor that lord qiansui like it.¡±


    there was no trace of reluctance in lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes at all. this acting was really good.


    xie chengze wanted to see his flustered appearance, so he squeezed his chin and approached him, making a gesture like he¡¯s going to kiss him.


    he thought that lu yanzhou would hide, but he didn¡¯t.


    since xie chengze couldn¡¯t get off the tiger, xie chengze could only kiss him without changing his expression, and then lu yanzhou hugged his neck, deepening the kiss.


    he has never kissed anyone before, but lu yanzhou is very skilled.


    according to the situation he investigated, lu yanzhou was a little scoundrel but he was very cautious about relationships. except for his cousin, he had never been intimate with other women.


    could it be that he practiced these skills with his cousin?


    anger rose in xie chengze¡¯s heart. he wanted to teach lu yanzhou a lesson but he was reluctant to do so, thus he could only bit lu yanzhou¡¯s lips.


    lu yanzhou felt the pain and let go of xie chengze.


    as if nothing had happened, xie chengze squinted his eyes and looked at lu yanzhou: ¡°good performance, continue doing it next time.¡±


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°i will definitely perform better next time.¡± he knew that xie chengze probably didn¡¯t fully accept him now, but since they both kissed, they will definitely become closer and closer in the future.


    xie chengze¡¯s pale face became more red, his lips were even redder. he looked at lu yanzhou, and suddenly said, ¡°if you stay with me obediently, i¡¯ll treat you well.¡±


    xie chengze was upset, but he also knew that lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t be blamed for it.


    lu yanzhou likes women, and he snatched him back. he shouldn¡¯t demand too much from lu yanzhou.


    but he really likes this person, even if this person is a scoundrel, even if this person actually likes his cousin.


    if lu yanzhou is willing to accompany him, he will naturally treat lu yanzhou well before his matter is completed. after his matter is completed, he will release lu yanzhou and give him a future.


    ¡°then please have mercy, lord qiansui.¡± lu yanzhou laughed and kissed xie chengze again.


    xie chengze snorted lightly, but he didn¡¯t push lu yanzhou away.


    however, when lu yanzhou was about to hug him, he suddenly stood up: ¡°i still have something to do.¡±


    xie chengze strode back to his room, then saw the bronze mirror next to him.


    in the mirror, his appearance is a feminine boy, he has a pink face and red lips.


    with a wave of his hand, he smashed the mirror on the ground. xie chengze¡¯s face became even more ugly.


    his adoptive parents treated him well, but he was physically flawed and was ridiculed and bullied since he was a child.


    he doesn¡¯t have the things that a man should have, he¡¯s neither male nor female! lu yanzhou may not be able to act after seeing his body. he¡¯s afraid he won¡¯t be able to continue acting after too.


    he also didn¡¯t want lu yanzhou to see his body.

 CH 152

    after xie chengze woke up the next day, he and lu yanzhou had breakfast as usual.


    he doesn¡¯t pay attention to food as long as he can eat his fill. lu yanzhou is different. he changes his meals every day, and brings out some fresh food to eat.


    just these days alone, lu yanzhou had made many foods made from wheat flour.


    however, what they ate today was not food made from wheat flour, but rice in a small earthenware pot. the rice was covered with meat, egg, and some vegetables.


    ¡°what is this?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°this is claypot rice, have a try.¡± lu yanzhou smiled and beckoned xie chengze to eat.


    at this time, people would cook with pottery products, so this kind of pottery pot can be used to make claypot rice.


    xie chengze took a bite, the taste was really good: ¡°i like the food you¡¯ve made, and so does his majesty.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s my honor.¡±


    ¡°what reward do you want?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°when are you free, can lord take me out for a stroll?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze said: ¡°yes.¡±


    lu yanzhou smiled, moved to xie chengze¡¯s side and kissed xie chengze.


    xie chengze¡¯s heart trembled. he was a little uncomfortable, but he brought lu yanzhou back to make lu yanzhou his ¡®male pet¡¯.


    what¡¯s more, he actually likes it.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou and also kissed him.


    when xie chengze left, it was already noon. he entered the palace as usual.


    after recuperating for a few days, his majesty¡¯s waist has healed, but yesterday he played around a little late, so he still hasn¡¯t woken up today.


    when xie chengze got the news, he waited by the door. after standing for a long time, he saw a forty or fifty-year-old eunuch walking towards him.


    the eunuch looked kindly and honest, giving people a good feeling at first sight, but when xie chengze saw him, he became alert.


    the old eunuch in front of him is called zhang quan. he has been with the emperor since he was a child, so he also has a lot of face from the emperor. he is xie chengze¡¯s deadly enemy, and the other eunuch in dayan who holds great power besides xie chengze.


    it¡¯s because almost all the eunuchs around the emperors belonged to zhang quan. zhang quan plundered money wantonly, eradicated dissidents in the court, and held great power.


    when xie chengze first entered the palace, he wanted to follow zhang quan¡¯s footsteps, but he was too good-looking. zhang quan¡¯s subordinates were afraid that he would stand out, so they excluded him and bullied him¡­


    thus, he gave up on following zhang quan, so he later designed a plan for his face in front of the emperor. after showing his face in front of him, he simply gathered the group of people, who had a grudge against zhang quan, and started to fight against zhang quan. up to now, he has gained the upper hand.


    zhang quan has been with the emperor long enough, even if the emperor always treats eunuchs like dogs, he still has feelings for dogs that he has raised for a long time.


    however, xie chengze also has something better than zhang quan.


    first of all, xie chengze is good-looking but the emperor is not interested in men. when he studied eunuchs¡¯ bodies at the beginning, he made others do it, then carried out that kind of cruel and tormenting research. however, he likes beautiful women, so he is a little more tolerant towards xie chengze.


    second, he has gone to school and read books, so he can give the emperor various ideas and help the emperor with some jobs.


    zhang quan can also read and handle memorials, but compared with xie chengze, he is far behind.


    ¡°long time no see, lord xie is still handsome.¡± zhang quan smiled.


    xie chengze ignored this person.


    zhang quan is a smiling tiger. doesn¡¯t matter who he faces, he always smiles, the complete opposite of xie chengze.


    besides smiling at the emperor, he always had a cold face towards other people, with a strange changing expression.


    he doesn¡¯t care how others feel, anyway, the emperor likes him very much.


    facing xie chengze¡¯s cold face, zhang quan was not annoyed at all: ¡°i heard that xie gonggong brought a man back from outside? it¡¯s really interesting.¡±


    xie chengze was not surprised that zhang quan knew about lu yanzhou¡¯s existence.


    he can bring lu yanzhou back, which also has something to do with zhang quan.


    zhang quan has been staring at him, and several times he almost notices many of his small moves in private. with many people around him, it can also divert zhang quan¡¯s attention.


    xie chengze still didn¡¯t speak but zhang quan didn¡¯t care at all: ¡°if his majesty knows that xie gonggong has raised a man at home, i don¡¯t know what he would think.¡±


    then xie chengze said: ¡°zhang gongong don¡¯t have to worry about it!¡±


    when the emperor woke up , xie chengze and zhang quan looked at each other, then went in together to serve the emperor.


    while serving, both of them talk about some amusing things.


    xie chengze also said: ¡°your majesty, this servant has asked someone to make a new dish, does your majesty want to try it?¡±


    ¡°yes, you have someone make it and deliver it later!¡± the emperor was very interested.


    zhang quan said: ¡°your majesty, xie gonggong truly knows a lot, it¡¯s a pity this old slave doesn¡¯t know anything.¡±


    the emperor said, ¡°you don¡¯t know as much as he does.¡±


    zhang quan¡¯s words got stuck by the emperor, but his face remained unchanged: ¡°i heard that xie gonggong brought a person back when he returned to the capital¡­xie gonggong, was that the person who made these delicacies? why don¡¯t you dedicate that person to his majesty?¡±


    the emperor became interested: ¡°is there such a thing?¡±


    ¡°zhang gonggong misunderstood. that person is not a cook or a good-looking person, it¡¯s just that i fell in love with him so i brought him back.¡± xie chengze generously admitted.


    his behavior surprised zhang gonggong.


    xie chengze has been very favored these years. all the civil and military officials in the imperial court all felt that he should have won the emperor¡¯s favor and became the emperor¡¯s man.


    even zhang quan thought the same.


    xie chengze is with another man now¡­zhang quan thought he didn¡¯t dare to let the emperor know.


    the emperor was a little curious at this moment: ¡°your vision is not low, what kind of man could take your fancy? the eunuch¡¯s body is so disgusting, why is he still willing to be with you?¡±


    xie chengze smiled and said: ¡°your majesty, it doesn¡¯t matter if he doesn¡¯t want to. if i snatch him back, he is mine.¡±


    ¡°yes!¡± the emperor laughed.


    xie chengze felt uncomfortable. fortunately, the emperor had already studied the eunuch¡¯s body and even how a man became a eunuch, so he was not interested in eunuchs anymore and didn¡¯t ask much.


    after xie chengze dealt with the emperor, he then cast a cold glance at zhang quan, just in time to see the unconcealed resentment under zhang quan¡¯s smiling face.


    no matter how old he is, his shrewdness is not as good as lu yanzhou.


    after working in the palace for a long time, xie chengze was finally able to leave the palace.


    as soon as he got home, he saw lu yanzhou smiling like before, waiting for him at the door.


    xie chengze¡¯s mood was very complicated.


    he had long known that lu yanzhou was not sincere to him, he was just forced to deal with him due to the situation.


    however, he fell in love with such a liar.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what xie chengze was thinking. he went up to him and asked if xie chengze had been wronged in the palace.


    serving people is not an easy job.


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou, and said, ¡°the mid-autumn festival will be in a few days, i will take you out for a stroll.¡±


    lu yanzhou knew that he didn¡¯t want to talk, so he didn¡¯t ask: ¡°okay! my lord, are you free to teach me how to read today?¡±


    ¡°i have some things to do, i will come to see you when i finish.¡± said xie chengze.


    xie chengze has a lot of things to do. he has always liked to handle various affairs, which is much more interesting to him than serving the emperor.


    but at this moment, he was actually a little anxious. he wanted to get these things done quickly so he could see lu yanzhou quickly.


    with a sneer, xie chengze put down the brush in his hand, found his confidants, and gave them a few orders: ¡°on the mid-autumn festival day, arranged for someone to assassinate me and cause some small disturbance¡­many people have made troubled for me recently, we should strike first. it¡¯s better to cause trouble with them!¡±


    ¡°yes.¡±


    ¡°be careful when the time comes. i will arrange for people to rescue nearby, but you should still retreat in time to avoid causing casualties.¡±


    ¡°yes!¡±


    while xie chengze was giving orders, lu yanzhou was reading a book.


    he has learned a lot of knowledge before, but the knowledge of each dynasty is different. he has been learning about this world and perfecting his plan recently.


    the dynasty in this world will come to an end, but xie chengze is standing in a very dangerous position.


    even if he leaves with xie chengze, there are still many people who know xie chengze, so it will be difficult for xie chengze to live a stable life in the future.


    most importantly, he needs merit.


    if he wants merit, he cannot be unknown. in this era, he has no position to make money and do good deeds, if he does so, he will only become a lamb to be slaughtered.


    putting everything together, lu yanzhou had long decided to be a rebel. as for xie chengze¡­


    he planned to leave the capital with xie chengze when xie chengze trusted him enough, then go conquer the world together.


    after xie chengze finished his work, lu yanzhou got up and went to the study room.


    xie chengze sat behind the desk, the flickering candlelight made him even more beautiful.


    lu yanzhou walked over and kissed xie chengze: ¡°my lord, what are you going to teach me today?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°continue reading history books.¡±


    lu yanzhou had no objection, so he read history books with xie chengze.


    at first xie chengze only taught him to read and write, but recently he started explaining history to him, and even told him many things behind history.


    a few simple words in the history books, when carefully considered, are full of blood.


    ¡°it¡¯s said here that zhou ye fought for power with his cousin yang, then after killing all the yang family, the new emperor ushered in the throne¡­the new emperor¡¯s original wife and two sons all died of illness, and he later married zhou ye¡¯s daughter as the empress¡­what did you see from this?¡± xie chengze pointed to a section and asked lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°the new emperor¡¯s original wife was surnamed yang.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± xie chengze took a deep look at lu yanzhou.


    there are very few records in the history books about the women in the courtyard. the emperor¡¯s wife, who died early, did not have a surname in the history books. it only mentions that she died of illness.


    if one doesn¡¯t read carefully, they won¡¯t be able to notice anything at all, but if one reads carefully¡­the yang family used to have power in the court, and the new emperor was just a prince originally. it wasn¡¯t anything big to marry the yang family¡¯s daughter. afterwards, zhou ye destroyed the yang family and found a suitable person to ascend the throne. he naturally can¡¯t accept that this person¡¯s wife¡¯s surname is yang, and it¡¯s even more unacceptable that this person¡¯s child has yang family blood.


    therefore, if the new emperor wants to ascend the throne, he must kill his wife and children.


    he did so, so his wife and children ¡®died of illness¡¯ together.


    it¡¯s really not easy for lu yanzhou, who lived in the bottom since he was a child, to be able to see through it at a glance.


    xie chengze pointed out some subtleties, and after explaining the literal meaning, he asked lu yanzhou what he thought. lu yanzhou hit the nail on the head and said the most important thing.


    he is very smart!


    xie chengze taught him, and even made it interesting.


    in history, many successful people did everything they could to achieve success. xie chengze suddenly felt that lu yanzhou was such a person.


    others are just trying their best, but lu yanzhou can even greet him, a eunuch, with a smile and flattery.


    as xie chengze thought so, he lowered his head and kissed lu yanzhou.


    however, after he aroused the flame in lu yanzhou, he left immediately.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± he is really in pain and happy recently!


    in the blink of an eye, it¡¯s the day of the mid-autumn festival.


    dayan likes to worship ancestors, so every festival, it¡¯s necessary to worship ancestors, and the mid-autumn festival is no exception.


    however, eunuchs are considered to be insulting to their ancestors, so they would not worship their ancestors. at least xie chengze never asked anyone to prepare for the worship.


    early in the morning, he took lu yanzhou out to visit the capital.


    when lu yanzhou came to the capital, he was lying on his horse¡¯s back, so he didn¡¯t take a closer look at the capital. this time he followed xie chengze to see the bustling streets of the capital, only to find that the capital was really run-down.


    but although the capital is run-down, there are still some places that look luxurious.


    auspicious clouds are engraved on the tiles used by the high-ranking households on the side of the road. those who come and go are carried by people, with pearls and precious stones dangling on their clean shoes.


    it¡¯s just that many of these men are actually not very good-looking, so they look a bit ugly dressing like that.


    ¡°do you want anything?¡± xie chengze looked at the jewelry shop next to him.


    ¡°i want to eat something delicious.¡± lu yanzhou said. this world¡¯s technology is limited, no matter how well the gems here are carved, they are not as beautiful as the jewelry from later generations.


    lu yanzhou himself also doesn¡¯t like these things either, so he wasn¡¯t interested in these jewelry fancy clothes at all.


    compared to that, he was more interested in eating.


    xie chengze took lu yanzhou and was about to find a place to eat when suddenly dozens of people rushed out from the side of the road: ¡°you bitch, i will kill you to avenge my father!


    ¡°eunuch held power, people had no way to make a living. received your death!¡±


    ¡°thief xie, go to hell!¡±


    ¡­


    these people are all here for xie chengze!


    xie chengze¡¯s face remained unchanged, but lu yanzhou suddenly hugged him at this moment, rolled over, and avoided an incoming arrow.

 CH 153

    lu yanzhou has the original owner¡¯s memory and knows that xie chengze is in a very dangerous situation and is always assassinated.


    however, he didn¡¯t expect that he and xie chengze would meet them the first time they came out!


    he carefully recalled the original owner¡¯s memory and found that when the original owner first arrived in the capital, that is, after the mid-autumn festival, xie chengze didn¡¯t come to see the original owner for a very long time¡­was it because he was injured by the assassin?


    these people kept saying that it was xie chengze who made people¡¯s lives difficult, but even without xie chengze, were people¡¯s lives better too?


    xie chengze has never harmed anyone by enclosing land. on the contrary, the officials and members of the imperial family have more and more land in their hands.


    besides, how do people know that xie chengze is such a person? these people are definitely guards raised by some great families.


    xie chengze has been provoking conflicts among these great families and causing trouble for these people. they hate xie chengze so much that they want xie chengze¡¯s life!


    if he hadn¡¯t reacted quickly, the arrow just now would have hit xie chengze!


    lu yanzhou thought a lot, but in fact not long had passed. at this time, another wave of arrows struck!


    ¡°protect lord qiansui!¡± xie chengze¡¯s guards shouted, but they were entangled by the assassins who scurried out with their swords. now their mobility was limited, so they could not do much.


    lu yanzhou had no weapons but he had to protect xie chengze. although he dodged most of the arrows, he was still hit in the thigh by one of them.


    however, lu yanzhou did not let go of xie chengze. he hugged xie chengze tightly and turned his back to the arrow¡¯s direction.


    lu yanzhou looked around, then took xie chengze to the roadside. he made xie chengze squat with his back against the wall on the roadside, then stood in front of xie chengze.


    when lu yanzhou was going out today, jia, yi, bing, and ding all followed him. led by lu yanzhou, they surrounded xie chengze and protected him tightly.


    after making sure that xie chengze would not be hit by any arrows, lu yanzhou¡¯s face darkened. he kicked an assassin who was rushing towards him, snatched the sword from their hand, then chopped down another assassin.


    however, what made lu yanzhou most wary was the man who was hiding in the dark and shooting arrows ¡ª another few arrows ¡®whoosh¡¯ toward them. jia, yi, bing, and ding were all injured. even if lu yanzhou¡¯s reaction was fast, he was still wounded.


    the place turned chaotic for a moment. fortunately, at this time, another group of people rushed out from nowhere and went directly towards the arrow shooters, hacking several people to death on the spot. some people came to help xie chengze¡¯s guards deal with the assassins who rushed out.


    the large number of people swarmed forward, and although there were some casualties, the assassins were all captured.


    lu yanzhou relaxed. he didn¡¯t care about his injuries but asked xie chengze behind him: ¡°are you okay?¡±


    xie chengze took a deep look at lu yanzhou: ¡°i¡¯m okay.¡±


    xie chengze arranged for some people to ¡®assassinate¡¯ him. he planned to use this ¡®assassination¡¯ to eradicate dissidents.


    today when the assassins first attacked, he thought they were his people, but he was obviously wrong.


    these people came to kill him. someone really wanted to kill him!


    however, the one who came to help later was the ¡®assassin¡¯ he had originally arranged.


    the ¡®assassin¡¯ he arranged saved him.


    xie chengze felt regretful about his miscalculation, but some indescribable emotions welled up in his heart too ¡ª he did not expect lu yanzhou to protect him.


    during this period, xie chengze has been teaching lu yanzhou. the more he teaches, the more he feels that lu yanzhou is not simple, and the more he appreciates lu yanzhou.


    today, lu yanzhou protected him and even got hurt for him¡­xie chengze saw that his wound was still bleeding, so he looked at lu yanzhou with concern and planned to give lu yanzhou the last chance.


    a chance to leave him.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou: ¡°you saved me, what do you want?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i want to be with you.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze stood up and smiled at lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze often smiled at lu yanzhou during this period, but it was always a sneer, which seemed warm but also indifferent.


    this time it was different. when he smiled, it was like spring flowers blooming, which was very heart-warming.


    lu yanzhou was almost dazed.


    besides that, after xie chengze smiled at lu yanzhou, he looked at the captured assassins with a cold face: ¡°these guys dare to hurt my lu lang, arrest them and interrogate them severely!¡±


    at that time, the people xie chengze had arranged to help him drive away the ¡®assassins¡¯ had also come.


    this is his man in public now.


    xie chengze said: ¡°quickly prepare the sedan, take lu lang home, and then go find the doctor to take a look at lu lang!¡±


    after saying that, xie chengze held lu yanzhou¡¯s injured arm distressedly, and then reached out to touch lu yanzhou¡¯s leg: ¡°lu lang, are you okay?¡±


    lu yanzhou felt a little uncomfortable when he called him ¡®lu lang¡¯.


    he was used to xie chengze calling him brother coquettishly, so hearing him call him ¡®lu lang¡¯ was strange.


    the most important thing is that xie chengze in this world was originally indifferent and strong, but now his attitude has changed a bit quickly.


    but¡­this is normal, right?


    xie chengze originally captured him to find a shield, but he believed that xie chengze had fallen in love with him during their previous interactions.


    as for why xie chengze was cold to him at that time¡­if he were xie chengze and suddenly fell in love with a scoundrel, he wouldn¡¯t be happy either.


    xie chengze at that time should have been very wary of him.


    but he saved xie chengze today!


    because of this, xie chengze changed his mind about him, put down his guard and intended to be with him, so his attitude changed drastically, which makes sense.


    thinking of this, lu yanzhou was in a good mood: ¡°i¡¯m fine, my health is good.¡±


    ¡°lu lang, i will go to the palace. you go home first.¡± after xie chengze finished speaking, he looked at the guards beside him, ¡°you guys must protect him.¡±


    after lu yanzhou was carried away, xie chengze turned cold and entered the palace.


    the blood on lu yanzhou¡¯s body was very glaring, he felt extremely uncomfortable after seeing it.


    he didn¡¯t want lu yanzhou to be harmed even a little bit!


    it was this blood that made him decide to change his life.


    he had been struggling with lu yanzhou¡¯s past, but if he thought about it carefully, since he had snatched him back, he shouldn¡¯t care too much about lu yanzhou¡¯s past.


    with his physical identity, it¡¯s impossible for people to truly love him. so why does it matter if lu yanzhou is not sincere to him and is not even a good person?


    what he was doing now was very dangerous. he had a lot of enemies and could die at any time. however, in the eyes of the people around him, lu yanzhou was already his, so why should he suppress it?


    might as well enjoy it before he dies.


    he could feel that lu yanzhou is very ambitious, but it didn¡¯t matter.


    he knew that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t like him, and from the beginning, he didn¡¯t expect to be with lu yanzhou for a long time.


    he might not live more than a few years.


    in this case, he might as well do whatever he wants from now on and still get the play done too!


    after he dies, lu yanzhou will be free again.


    xie chengze entered the palace and cried to the emperor.


    as for lu yanzhou, after he was sent back to xie chengze¡¯s home, a familiar doctor was called immediately.


    however, when the doctor came, lu yanzhou had already cleaned the wound on his leg and sutured it with needle and thread.


    the arrow wound on his thigh was more serious, but the wound on his arm was much easier to treat and didn¡¯t require bandaging.


    when the doctor came, he asked: ¡°who is young master lu? i¡¯m here to check his injury.¡±


    lu yanzhou, who was treating other people¡¯s wounds, answered: ¡°it me.¡±


    the doctor was stunned, then rushed over quickly: ¡°young master lu, what are you doing? arrow wounds shouldn¡¯t be taken lightly. a little carelessness will easily make dirty thing to enter your body¡±


    ¡°i know some basic medical skills.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    he was dealing with the wounds of people who were seriously injured. after helping to dig out the arrowheads, he washed the knife in his hand, put it on the candlelight to heat it.


    this can prevent infection, which is what the doctor calls ¡®dirty things entering the body.¡¯


    ¡°young master lu, why are you heating this knife?¡± the doctor wanted to stop lu yanzhou, but lu yanzhou¡¯s movements were too skillful!


    young master lu is so valued by xie gonggong, maybe he has an extraordinary origin? he doesn¡¯t dare to question now, he just wants to learn something from him.


    but why does this knife need to be heated?


    ¡°this can prevent dirty things from entering the body. you should do the same when you treat other people¡¯s wounds in the future.¡± after lu yanzhou finished speaking, he handed the knife to the doctor and asked him to treat other people¡¯s wounds. as for him¡­he took out a needle and thread, then started suturing people.


    the man, who had been able to hold his tongue while the arrowhead was dug out just now, started shouting uncontrollably, while the people around him looked at lu yanzhou in awe.


    they were not just in awe of lu yanzhou for treating other people¡¯s wounds and suturing, but what they were even more in awe of was that when lu yanzhou previously suture his leg wound, he didn¡¯t say a word and his hands didn¡¯t even shake!


    they pretended that suturing the wound doesn¡¯t hurt, but what was the result? the leader of the guard, who was the least afraid of pain among them, began to wail!


    ¡°you guys hold him down.¡± lu yanzhou asked someone to hold down the man and suture the stab wounds on his body.


    there is a shortage of medicine in the present. if they¡¯re not sutured, the wound will continue to bleed, and even an iron-clad man will not be able to hold on!


    lu yanzhou moved very quickly. after dealing with one, he immediately went to deal with the second one.


    in fact, xie chengze¡¯s guards all felt that it was a bit strange to stitch the wound. when they were injured before, they would wrap the wound with cloth strips, they never need to suture it with needles and threads at all.


    however, lu yanzhou suture his own leg first, so they¡­just followed suit.


    these people have a strong sense of superiority and inferiority complex. although lu yanzhou was snatched back by xie chengze, he has a high status in the mansion, so they will also listen to lu yanzhou.


    even the doctor helped lu yanzhou calmly.


    this doctor was very good at treating bruises and injuries, so xie chengze sought him out. however, since he was born a commoner and was an ordinary military doctor, he actually had no status.


    when he came here before, he was told that he had to treat ¡®young master lu¡¯.


    the person who can be called a ¡®young master¡¯ is probably from an extraordinary family, so it¡¯s normal for the person who knows many big families to know medical skills. if he encounters such a person, he can also learn from them.


    the doctor followed lu yanzhou¡¯s instructions. when he saw that the wounds on those people¡¯s bodies were sutured and no longer bled, he couldn¡¯t help but admire them. he also admired lu yanzhou very much and asked some questions.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s medical skills were time-tested. he immediately said something and the doctor wrote it down one by one.


    some of xie chengze¡¯s guards knew lu yanzhou¡¯s origins, and some did not, but they all knew nothing about lu yanzhou and young lady wang¡¯s affair.


    this matter was related to young lady wang¡¯s reputation. xie chengze¡¯s uncle only told xie chengze, so xie chengze never told his subordinates.


    now that these guards see that lu yanzhou seems to have such good medical skills and think about how quickly lu yanzhou learns things during this period¡­they all feel that lu yanzhou is a bit extraordinary, so they listen to lu yanzhou more and more.


    thus, after xie chengze filed a complaint with the emperor to mobilize some of the guards in the capital, he finally returned home and saw lu yanzhou, who he thought would be resting in the room, instructing the doctor he invited to prepare medicine for his injured patients. the guards were sitting or lying aside, looking at lu yanzhou with respect.


    what did lu yanzhou do again?


    xie chengze was a little curious, but did not pursue the matter.


    not mentioning anything else, one thing is certain, lu yanzhou was not sent by others to harm him.


    thinking about lu yanzhou¡¯s injuries, xie chengze was a little worried and stepped forward: ¡°lu lang, have you received medicine for your injury? do you feel any discomfort?¡±


    ¡°i have already been given medicine and there is no discomfort.¡± lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze and met xie chengze¡¯s concerned gaze.


    in fact, the title ¡®lu lang¡¯ is quite good. people at this time are also called so.


    since xie chengze already calls him that, is it okay to call xie chengze ¡®aze¡¯ when talking to him from now on?

 CH 154

    although lu yanzhou said that he had been given medicine and his injuries were fine, xie chengze was still worried and looked at the doctor: ¡°how is lu lang¡¯s injury?¡±


    the doctor immediately said: ¡°xie gonggong, young master lu has superb medical skills, so he will be fine.¡±


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know, so lu yanzhou said: ¡°i know some medical skills, i took care of my injuries myself.¡±


    ¡°you also know some medical skills too?¡± xie chengze was surprised.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i used to fight and kill, so i learned some skills to save my life.¡±


    where did a yamen servant learn medical skills? medical skills are not that easy to learn¡­as soon as xie chengze had this thought, he thought of lu yanzhou¡¯s great memory.


    with xie chengze¡¯s identity, he was actually unable to study. it was his uncle who secretly spent money to get a branch of a down-and-out family to accept him as a student and allow him to study with him.


    he learns things very quickly and is called a genius.


    later, when he entered the palace and learned various knowledge from sheng yuan, sheng yuan also felt that he was talented.


    he has always felt that although he is not a man, he is no worse than any other man.


    until he met lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou learns things much faster than him!


    after he gained power, he specially asked someone to teach him how to read history books. it took him a lot of time to slowly understand the history books. he hasn¡¯t even thoroughly finished reading the history books in his hand yet!


    when lu yanzhou wanted to learn to read before, because he didn¡¯t have any books for young children to read, he used the history books he was reading over and over again to teach him. as a result, lu yanzhou understood everything.


    now before he teaches lu yanzhou, he has to read it several times and think more about it, lest he doesn¡¯t understand it as thoroughly as lu yanzhou and ends up being embarrassed.


    it¡¯s not that strange for lu yanzhou to have good medical skills either.


    at first, xie chengze found it incredible that he actually liked a scoundrel, but now he had to admit that lu yanzhou was different and extremely smart.


    he hasn¡¯t met anyone who is smarter than lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou is not only smart, but also ruthless.


    he asked the guards privately and learned that lu yanzhou could suture the wound on his thigh without changing his expression. xie chengze was surprised and inexplicably excited.


    even if there is no relationship, he still appreciates such people.


    lu yanzhou endured his injuries and helped the guards treat their wounds because he didn¡¯t want them to die. however, after treating the wounds, he didn¡¯t want to move anymore and had people carry him back to the house to lie down.


    as a result, he didn¡¯t lie down for a moment when xie chengze came and brought him a bowl of meat porridge: ¡°lu lang, you haven¡¯t eaten anything today. eat something first.¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m a little hungry.¡± lu yanzhou reached out to take it.


    xie chengze said, ¡°i¡¯ll feed you.¡±


    as he said that, xie chengze took a spoonful of porridge and brought it to lu yanzhou¡¯s mouth.


    lu yanzhou opened his mouth to eat. although he was usually the one to take care of xie chengze, it wasn¡¯t like xie chengze had never taken care of him before. he adapted well.


    ¡°is there anything else lu lang wants to eat? i¡¯ll tell the kitchen to do it.¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°no, just this,¡± lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze, then asked with a smile, ¡°why did you suddenly change your attitude toward me?¡±


    xie chengze has changed a lot. in the past, xie chengze always looked like he disliked everyone, but now¡­though xie chengze is still cold to others, his sharp voice and protracted tone make people think that he is warm but indifferent, but when facing him, he is as gentle as water.


    it feels pretty good.


    ¡°lu lang, i only liked your face before, but now i want to be with you. lu lang, let¡¯s grow old together.¡± xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou with hope on his face, ¡°lu lang, are you willing?¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t expect xie chengze to confess his feelings right away. however, when he thought about it carefully, it didn¡¯t seem strange.


    the xie chengze in these small worlds and the xie chengze he had contact with before were two extremes.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°of course i am willing, i also want to grow old with you.¡±


    xie chengze smiled, his eyebrows loosening, as if the spring sunshine filled the room.


    lu yanzhou was stunned.


    xie chengze leaned over and kissed lu yanzhou.


    he knew that lu yanzhou would definitely agree to be with him.


    he kissed lu yanzhou before, but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t refuse him, so he wouldn¡¯t refuse him now either.


    it¡¯s understandable that lu yanzhou would do this.


    being with him is lu yanzhou¡¯s only chance to climb up. lu yanzhou is so ambitious, how could he give up?


    it¡¯s just that growing old with lu yanzhou is nothing more than his delusion. since lu yanzhou was still weak now, he could completely monopolize lu yanzhou for a few years.


    xie chengze kissed him and sat up straight, then fed lu yanzhou another mouthful of porridge.


    lu yanzhou asked: ¡°can i call you aze from now on? calling you lord doesn¡¯t seem intimate enough.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°okay.¡±


    lu yanzhou immediately said: ¡°aze, you are so beautiful, the most beautiful person i have ever seen.¡±


    xie chengze has been working in the palace for a long time, so sweet words were always at his fingertips: ¡°lu lang, you are also the most handsome man i have ever seen. i have never forgotten you after i first saw you.¡±


    lu yanzhou finished the bowl of congee sweetly, he was very satisfied with the current progress.


    his relationship with xie chengze has stabilized, so he can do more now!


    at this stage, there are many people revolting in various places. the man who later overthrew the dayan dynasty and established the new dynasty was already active in the south at this time.


    so he has a lot to do and is very urgent.


    of course, things like changing dynasties are not that easy to do. it is best to have some money and food first. as for how to get the money and food¡­


    the capital is the most prosperous place in the entire dayan. although some big families do not take the imperial family seriously in private, they all serve as officials in the capital.


    if one wants to make money, it is best to make it from them. in this world where the gap between rich and poor is extremely large, the people at the bottom have no money at all!


    lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze: ¡°aze, can i be with you today?¡±


    xie chengze kissed lu yanzhou again: ¡°you are injured, it¡¯s better to wait.¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°i mean simply staying together¡­¡± he really had no intention of going into battle with injuries!


    xie chengze said: ¡°lu lang wants to live with me, it¡¯s something i have always wished for¡­tomorrow, i will find someone to decorate my room.¡±


    xie chengze had to admit that he wanted to get close to lu yanzhou.


    he couldn¡¯t sleep these days, always thinking of lu yanzhou.


    it¡¯s just that his body is different, can lu yanzhou accept it?


    well, lu yanzhou should be able to bear it, he even asked for it.


    as long as he gives lu yanzhou everything he wants, it will be fine.


    xie chengze felt very good when he thought of this, so he kissed lu yanzhou again: ¡°lu lang, you must have a good rest.¡±


    he must have a good rest. lu yanzhou lay down and fell asleep quickly.


    on the other side, xie chengze had already found out who was responsible.


    he had just left the capital not long ago and harmed some people, this assassination was arranged by those people.


    of course, if it¡¯s only them, it wouldn¡¯t be possible. therefore, zhang quan was also involved, and it was zhang quan who opened the door for those assassins.


    zhang quan is anxious!


    xie chengze arranged many things and asked sheng yuan to take over the military power just given by the emperor.


    his nanshan guards must also intensify their training.


    xie chengze was busy for a long time. the next day he went to the yamen office in charge of public security in the capital and had a violent fit, blaming them for failing to take care of the capital, causing him to encounter assassination, and even injuring his ¡®lu lang¡¯.


    xie chengze made a big move, so lu yanzhou appeared on stage and became known.


    all the officials in the court thought that this kind-faced xie gonggong belonged to the emperor. after all, the emperor had always been ridiculous and even summoned xie chengze when he was having fun.


    zhang quan and other people who served the emperor also received such treatment. however, no one would suspect that the emperor was attracted to zhang quan, but xie chengze was different!


    he looks really good.


    there are many young masters from big families in the capital who are handsome, but no one can surpass xie chengze!


    as a result¡­xie chengze actually openly raised another man?


    his majesty and him don¡¯t have that kind of relationship?


    who is it, who has fallen so hard that he actually became a eunuch¡¯s bed partner?


    everyone had various thoughts. at this moment, xie chengze met with his uncle.


    xie chengze¡¯s grandfather is still there, but he is no longer young. now he has begun to hand over the wang family to the next head of the family, and the next head of the wang family is xie chengze¡¯s uncle.


    there are not a few bad-looking people in a big family, but the future head of the wang family is handsome and dashing. he has a clean tended long beard, wears simple clothes, and speaks unhurriedly¡­this is wang tingyun who became famous at a young age and is still sought after even now.


    ¡°you were assassinated yesterday. i asked someone to investigate and found some things.¡± when wang tingyun saw xie chengze, he handed some of the evidence he had gathered to xie chengze.


    ¡°thank you.¡± xie chengze thanked him. he took it and took a look, then found that there was something inside that he didn¡¯t find before.


    ¡°i heard that you raised a man?¡± wang tingyun asked.


    ¡°yes, it¡¯s lu yanzhou.¡± xie chengze didn¡¯t hide it. wang tingyun will know about it sooner or later.


    when wang tingyun heard what xie chengze said, he immediately realized that lu yanzhou was the shield that xie chengze was looking for: ¡°he is suitable, but you have to watch him carefully. you must not let him talk too much outside and ruin your little sister¡¯s reputation.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°i have arranged people to be around him, he has no chance to talk nonsense.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good!¡± wang tingyun breathed a sigh of relief.


    xie chengze continued asking: ¡°how is little sister?¡±


    wang tingyun said: ¡°i took her for a walk in the fields. she has already awakened and explained everything clearly. she has also handed over the many things lu yanzhou gave her before too.¡±


    xie chengze asked a few more questions, and wang tingyun also didn¡¯t hide anything and told everything about his daughter¡¯s interactions with lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze listened without changing his expression, feeling depressed.


    lu yanzhou must be with him for the sake of power, but with his cousin¡­lu yanzhou should know that no matter what, the wang family will never let him marry young lady wang. if the wang family finds out, lu yanzhou will only die.


    his cousin was also unable to bring much belongings from home to lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou is probably sincere towards his cousin!


    in order to survive, lu yanzhou was willing to submit to him, but for his cousin, lu yanzhou was willing to risk his life!


    he must keep a close eye on lu yanzhou and never let lu yanzhou see his cousin.

 CH 155

    while xie chengze and wang tingyun met, lu yanzhou was checking xie chengze¡¯s guards¡¯ injuries.


    the weapons people used in this period were not so sharp, and with xie chengze¡¯s guards all experienced, no one died in the assassination. however, everyone was more or less injured, and some were also seriously injured.


    there were two or three of them who, according to people in this era¡¯s experience, were bound to die.


    however, lu yanzhou gave them first aid to stop the bleeding after xie chengze left. after carrying them home, he quickly treated their wounds, and now they were still alive.


    of course, if they are not well taken care of¡­with excessive blood loss or infection, they will still die.


    these guards are all young and in good physical condition ¡ª in this era, ordinary people¡¯s children with poor health barely have any chance to grow up.


    however, they all survived.


    lu yanzhou looked at their wounds and made sure they were not fatal, then asked the kitchen to cook them porridge with eggs and minced meat.


    there are very few medicines nowadays, and there is not much he can do except try to ensure these people¡¯ nutrition.


    fortunately, xie chengze was very generous. not only did he give these people a lot of money yesterday, he also asked the doctors to cure them even if it cost a lot of money.


    in addition to food, they should pay special attention to hygiene. lu yanzhou specifically instructed his servants to give boiled water to the wounded, and the bandages they used for dressing must be boiled and then exposed to the sun too.


    after doing all this, lu yanzhou took out a brush and paper and started writing.


    he wants to make something to make money. only when he has money can he earn merit.


    lu yanzhou once stayed in an ancient world. at that time, he made money by firing glass and making soap. however, in this era, even the technology of firing ceramics was not quite good, let alone firing glass. as for making soap¡­it¡¯s not available with the current situation. vegetable oils and animal oils are also scarce and expensive. it is better to sell the oil directly instead of using oils to make soap.


    on earth, the emperor of the song dynasty sometimes even rewarded his courtiers with oil.


    lu yanzhou once wrote down the method of firing porcelain, and asked someone to test it a few times, he should be able to produce exquisite porcelain soon.


    there are also ways to extract oil from soybeans, sesame and the like, especially from soybeans, which is a good business.


    although soybeans do not contain high oil content, they are cheap. the most important thing is that soybeans that have been squeezed for oil using ancient methods can also be used to make tofu.


    at this time, there was no such ingredient as tofu, so he could make a lot of money by selling tofu!


    the biggest problem in the present may be that it is inconvenient to buy things these days. there are not many soybeans available, and the business is not big.


    of course, that¡¯s not a big problem. it¡¯s alright to make tofu a high-end ingredient and only make money from rich people.


    lu yanzhou wrote down a general outline, but as for the details¡­he would definitely be there to guide them when the time comes.


    wait, he shouldn¡¯t know so many words¡­lu yanzhou burned the paper and planned to tell xie chengze directly.


    xie chengze came back when it was getting dark. as soon as he came back, he came to lu yanzhou¡¯s room and said, ¡°lu lang.¡±


    ¡°aze, you¡¯re back?¡± lu yanzhou put down the brush he was practicing writing and looked at xie chengze.


    xie chengze said, ¡°i came back a little late. has lu lang eaten yet?¡±


    ¡°not yet, i¡¯m waiting for you.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    upon hearing this, xie chengze immediately had food delivered to him and ate with lu yanzhou. he also asked his servants if his room was ready.


    since he said he wanted lu yanzhou to move into his room last night, he would naturally do as he said.


    today, he specially found someone to decorate his room.


    xie chengze has never cared much about where he lives. although the house he lives in is large, there are very few things in it.


    today, he not only asked people to move in a lot of furniture, but also asked people to change the bedding.


    the servant immediately said that the room had been decorated and could be moved in at any time.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou and said, ¡°lu lang, would you like to move into my room.¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t refuse, ¡°that¡¯s a blessing for me.¡±


    xie chengze cupped lu yanzhou¡¯s face with both hands and kissed lu yanzhou¡¯s face: ¡°lu lang, you are so lovable.¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± he was teased again.


    well, just get used to it.


    lu yanzhou had very few things, so he moved into xie chengze¡¯s room with the original owner¡¯s baggage.


    xie chengze¡¯s room was much larger than his. the floor was paved with polished stone slabs and there were a lot of brand-new furniture.


    it¡¯s because everything is new, there¡¯s no scent.


    lu yanzhou has already begun to think about how to decorate it, such as placing some green plants in the room.


    ¡°lu lang, it¡¯s getting late, let¡¯s rest early.¡± xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou and reached out to untie lu yanzhou¡¯s clothes.


    his expressions and movements are unusually gentle, but his actions are very bold.


    after a moment, lu yanzhou was left with only his inner trouser.


    ¡°aze, my injury is not healed yet.¡± lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but sigh as he grabbed xie chengze¡¯s hand that wanted to continue.


    in fact, the problem is not only because of his injury, but also the fact that xie chengze¡¯s body is now incomplete.


    will xie chengze feel pleasure if they do something? if he doesn¡¯t feel pleasure¡­then why bother?


    and lu yanzhou could tell that xie chengze was actually a little nervous.


    every time he wanted to hug xie chengze before, xie chengze would avoid him or become stiff¡­ xie chengze must have a mental barrier.


    he thought they could take their time.


    xie chengze¡¯s hand was grabbed by lu yanzhou. he raised his gaze and looked at lu yanzhou, a little aggrieved: ¡°lu lang, do you dislike me?¡±


    he didn¡¯t want lu yanzhou to see his body, he didn¡¯t intend to do anything with lu yanzhou. he acts like this because he just wants to test lu yanzhou.


    if lu yanzhou didn¡¯t stop him, he would let lu yanzhou go.


    as a result, lu yanzhou stopped him.


    the suppressed anger in xie chengze¡¯s heart emerged again.


    lu yanzhou was indeed injured, but it was not serious and not to the point where he couldn¡¯t do anything. as far as he knew, lu yanzhou was walking around on one foot today.


    lu yanzhou refused because he couldn¡¯t bear to be with a eunuch like him, right?


    wanting to climb up from him without giving anything, that¡¯s impossible!


    xie chengze¡¯s aggrieved look was heartbreaking, so lu yanzhou did not hesitate: ¡°how could i dislike you! there isn¡¯t enough time for me to love you!¡±


    ¡°really?¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s absolutely true. ¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°then tonight, lu lang and i will become husband and wife.¡± xie chengze bit lu yanzhou¡¯s earlobe.


    lu yanzhou is very smart and capable. he still needs to rely on him now, but he never knows when he will get rid of him.


    he could imprison this person so that this person could not leave him, but it was impossible for a sycophant like him to live to the end of his life. he could not afford to let lu yanzhou die with him, so sooner or later he would have to release lu yanzhou.


    in this case, it is better to enjoy it earlier and avoid regret later.


    as for lu yanzhou¡¯s disgust with his body, it doesn¡¯t matter. if lu yanzhou really behaves like that, maybe it will make him more sober.


    ¡°aze¡­¡± lu yanzhou sighed.


    ¡°lu lang is unwilling?¡± xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou.


    if lu yanzhou refused again, he would definitely tie lu yanzhou up in this room and won¡¯t allow lu yanzhou to go out.


    he gave lu yanzhou several chances, but it was lu yanzhou who stayed and confessed to him¡­lu yanzhou should bear the consequences.


    lu yanzhou pulled xie chengze into his arms: ¡°aze, i will never dislike you¡­¡±


    after lu yanzhou finished speaking, he kissed xie chengze and held him in his arms.


    xie chengze¡¯s body froze, then relaxed quickly.


    lu yanzhou knew that he had a knot in his heart. after thinking about it, he decided that he had to do something to untie xie chengze¡¯s knot.


    ¡­


    xie chengze went to bed late, so he didn¡¯t wake up until the sun was 3 poles high. when he woke up, he was still a little bit dazed.


    he met wang tingyun yesterday and felt unstable when he returned home. later, lu yanzhou refused, which made him even more dissatisfied.


    he forced lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou truly could adapt to the circumstances, he could even put down his body. he also kept kissing his mutilated parts last night.


    if he didn¡¯t know about his cousin¡¯s affair with lu yanzhou, he would definitely feel that lu yanzhou really fell in love with him.


    he is very good looking and many people have taken a liking to him over the years.


    it¡¯s just¡­those people may not be able to do what lu yanzhou did, but this also makes lu yanzhou quite fake.


    the emperor always forced all kinds of women, and although those women flattered the emperor, they actually didn¡¯t want to.


    he had always hated how the emperor¡¯s treated those women, but he ended up doing the same thing as the emperor.


    lu yanzhou coaxed him for a long time last night and said many sweet words, but he didn¡¯t take any further action. in the end, he took the initiative.


    he might not be able to get lu yanzhou¡¯s heart, but he could still get lu yanzhou¡¯s body.


    xie chengze got up from the bed, and then heard lu yanzhou¡¯s voice: ¡°aze, how do you feel?¡±


    what happened last night was both unexpected and expected by lu yanzhou.


    anyway¡­he¡¯s used to it.


    ¡°lu lang cares about me?¡±


    ¡°of course.¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m just a eunuch¡­¡±


    ¡°aze, that¡¯s nothing. what i like is you as a person, it has nothing to do with your body.¡± lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze.


    ¡°lu lang, you are so kind to me.¡± xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou.


    he was willing to play such a scene with lu yanzhou.


    when the time comes, he will send lu yanzhou away and give lu yanzhou a bright future. it will not be a loss even if he dies.


    ¡°who would i be nice to if i wasn¡¯t nice to you?¡± lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze again, and then asked xie chengze what he wanted to eat.


    ¡°anything is fine. i want to eat what you made, lu lang.¡± said xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou acted as a love at first sight groom, and he cooperated quite well.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i¡¯ll make porridge and fry two eggs for you. wait for me.¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s leg injury was not serious. besides, last night, not only was xie chengze active, he was also very careful not to touch his wounds¡­his wounds are now scabbed.


    lu yanzhou found a stick to lean on, then went to the kitchen. he added vegetables and chicken to the millet porridge, then fried eggs with chopped green onions.


    when he was halfway through, xie chengze came and looked at him affectionately: ¡°lu lang, thank you for your hard work.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s not hard work.¡± lu yanzhou immediately said. he really didn¡¯t do anything. xie chengze is the one working hard last night.

 CH 156

    lu yanzhou planned to talk to xie chengze about soybean oil extraction and porcelain firing last night. however, xie chengze was in a bad mood yesterday, so he comforted and comforted him¡­in the end, he didn¡¯t have time to say anything.


    while eating, lu yanzhou asked, ¡°aze, are you going out today?¡±


    xie chengze said, ¡°i plan to go to the palace.¡±


    ¡°pay attention to your health, don¡¯t be tired.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou with a smile: ¡°lu lang, i¡¯m in good health. i will definitely make you happy in the future.¡±


    lu yanzhou was a little helpless. xie chengze¡¯s health in this world was indeed not bad, it was even quite good. though he was not injured last night¡­there was really no need to say such bold words.


    from now on, if xie chengze can¡¯t bear it, he will be slapped in the face.


    xie chengze was in a good mood when he entered the palace.


    he had already thought about it. lu yanzhou was just an accident in his life.


    he is not a good person. when he first entered the palace, he just wanted to kill the dog emperor to take revenge, but later he changed his mind after he came into contact with more and more things.


    he wanted to subvert this dayan.


    he felt that there was no need for dayan¡¯s imperial family to exist at all.


    besides, when he helped the emperor, even though he sometimes helped those who were suffering too, he also sometimes hurt others too.


    a powerful official like him will definitely not end well when the emperor is gone.


    therefore, he doesn¡¯t actually need to think too much.


    since he likes lu yanzhou, he just needs to keep him by his side and pamper him well!


    from now on, he will do whatever he wants with lu yanzhou.


    thinking of last night, the corners of xie chengze¡¯s mouth curled up, corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tinged with charm.


    he was born neither male nor female, so he thought that the joy that others could feel would never be felt in his life, but last night¡­he felt pretty good, or it should be said it felt very good.


    he likes to be intimate with lu yanzhou.


    it doesn¡¯t matter if lu yanzhou is not sincere to him, he is on a dead end anyway. if lu yanzhou was really sincere to him, he may not be able to live with lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze was relaxed, but as soon as he entered the palace, he cried in front of the emperor and accused zhang quan of harming him.


    xie chengze originally did not plan to attack zhang quan so quickly. with such a person here, other people¡¯s eyes would not be on him.


    however, this time zhang quan did get involved with his assassinated. there was no way he could still keep zhang quan!


    as for the emperor¡¯s side¡­even without zhang quan, he can support a wang quan or li quan.


    if xie chengze was injured this time and his movements were restricted, zhang quan might have the upper hand if he was careless. however, he was not injured. recently, he had been delivering delicious food to the palace every day, so the emperor liked him very much.


    the emperor was a little annoyed. this time zhang quan actually wanted to kill xie chengze, so he issued an order on the spot to punish zhang quan.


    zhang quan was the emperor¡¯s dog, and the emperor would not kill his people. however, after xie chengze cried and beat, the emperor deprived zhang quan of most of his rights.


    zhang quan without power is like a toothless tiger.


    xie chengze arranged his own men to take over zhang quan¡¯s power, then he went home after doing all this.


    as soon as he returned home and saw lu yanzhou, xie chengze smiled: ¡°lu lang, i miss you so much. a day of separation is as long as three autumns.¡±


    ¡°me too.¡± lu yanzhou coughed lightly, and then was kissed by xie chengze who came forward.


    there are people around! xie chengze shows off his affection and doesn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s opinions at all!


    however, lu yanzhou still cooperated fully. firstly, he didn¡¯t hate these things. secondly, xie chengze in this world has a somewhat inferior self-esteem. if he wants to find a sense of security like this¡­that¡¯s fine.


    after dinner, xie chengze took lu yanzhou to his study room to study. lu yanzhou finally had the opportunity to tell him that he knew a method for firing porcelain.


    ¡°you also know how to make porcelain?¡±


    ¡°i learned about the method accidentally. it still needs to be tested¡­if it works, it should be able to make colorful porcelain.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    the modern porcelain bowls are more beautiful than the last, with more patterns on them, but in this period, there were not so many beautiful porcelains.


    if they could make it, it would definitely be popular.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t hide anything, and started explaining the firing methods he had memorized one by one.


    xie chengze listened carefully and was also very sure that what lu yanzhou said was feasible.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t need to lie to him about this. after all, it didn¡¯t cost much to build a kiln and try firing.


    the kiln pit must be built outside the city. if lu yanzhou wants to go and look at it¡­he may not be able to come back every day.


    ¡°lu lang, i have a cave for firing porcelain in a manor near the capital. but the manor is far away, and it takes a lot of time to get there. i want to see you every day¡­¡± xie chengze sat on lu yanzhou¡¯s lap and put his arms around lu yanzhou¡¯s neck.


    lu yanzhou asked: ¡°how long does it take when riding a horse?¡±


    ¡°at least half an hour.¡± xie chengze said. his manor is not far, but it is also not close either.


    lu yanzhou said, ¡°it¡¯s not that far. i¡¯ll just go out in the morning and come back in the evening!¡±


    ¡°lu lang, if you do this, will you be too tired?¡±


    ¡°no.¡± lu yanzhou said. isn¡¯t it just riding horse back and forth an hour every day? this is nothing!


    ¡°then lu lang, go ahead and give it a try. i¡¯ll ask jia, yi, bing, ding and the people at the manor to help you.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou smiled, ¡°aze, if we can make exquisite porcelain and sell it, we will definitely make a lot of money!¡±


    that¡¯s a given!


    lu yanzhou was not in a hurry to talk about oil extraction. he planned to wait until he got to the manor and find someone to try it before telling xie chengze.


    the same goes for tofu.


    if he said it together¡­it would easily arouse suspicion.


    after settling the matter, the two began to read history books together.


    lu yanzhou had been holding back before, but now he would inevitably reveal some of his thoughts.


    xie chengze naturally felt what lu yanzhou deliberately revealed.


    do princes and generals like xiang ning have guts? he thought so, and so did lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou is even bolder, some of his ideas are even crazier than him.


    however, it cannot be denied that xie chengze likes these.


    ¡°lu lang, you are really brave. if what you say is heard by others¡­¡±


    ¡°i only say it to you.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    xie chengze smile and touched lu yanzhou again.


    that night, it was naturally springtime again.


    lu yanzhou recuperated from his injuries for five days, now the wounds were no longer so serious. the seriously injured guards were also out of danger.


    he found a time and asked someone to take him to xie chengze¡¯s manor.


    xie chengze¡¯s manor was very large, so there was indeed a place for firing porcelain and pottery on the manor. people at this time used pots and bowls on a daily basis. the demand for these items was very high, so the larger manor would basically bake them themselves.


    however, the quality of the baked goods is generally not very good.


    after lu yanzhou saw it, he determined that the cave dwelling must be rebuilt. it was even better for them to start by firing bricks to build the cave dwelling!


    fortunately, he learns as much as possible in every world. he had made glass before and learned all the relevant knowledge.


    on the first day, lu yanzhou went back after seeing it, but starting from the second day, he took the people in the manor to work.


    there weren¡¯t enough people at the manor, so he asked xie chengze to find some people from elsewhere to help make the foundation.


    porcelain cannot be fired in a short time. the suitable clay must be found first, so lu yanzhou took the time to try oil pressing.


    it is relatively simple to extract oil from sesame seeds. lu yanzhou soon got a bottle of sesame oil. the experiment of extracting oil from soybeans was finally successful.


    before getting porcelain, vegetable oil was extracted first, and tofu was also made at the same time.


    xie chengze is very busy these days, but he pays a lot of attention to lu yanzhou.


    however, he was mainly concerned about lu yanzhou¡¯s whereabouts, not what lu yanzhou was doing.


    ever since lu yanzhou went to the manor every day, he had placed many people in the manor, and people there were not allowed to come in and out at will. in addition to lu yanzhou, besides jia, yi, bing, and ding, he also arranged other people to ensure that lu yanzhou had no chance to escape.


    if lu yanzhou comes into contact with outsiders, he will be able to know immediately what lu yanzhou said to others and what he did.


    as a result, lu yanzhou worked inside the manor every day and had no intention of leaving the manor. he promised to come back every day, he kept his promise and would return home before dawn every day.


    xie chengze was relieved that lu yanzhou was so well-behaved, and then¡­lu yanzhou told him that oil can be extracted out of soybeans and tofu can be made.


    lu yanzhou also used that oil to deep fry chicken wings for him to eat, which was really delicious!


    even if lu yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything, xie chengze realized the business opportunities.

    there are many plants that can extract oil from it, the common ones are sesame, peanuts, and soybeans.


    sesame and peanuts produce a lot of oil, but the cost is relatively high. if one extracts oil from soybeans, the cost is very low. the oil-extracted soybeans can also be used to make tofu.


    lu yanzhou explained it to xie chengze in detail, saying that he could make money with it.


    ¡°aze, it¡¯s easier to do things if you have money. making more money will be good for you and me.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    as a powerful eunuch, xie chengze is not short of money, but he also has a lot of expenses.


    looking at the situation at xie chengze¡¯s manor¡­xie chengze probably doesn¡¯t have much money.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou with bright eyes: ¡°lu lang, we can do this but the profits must be shared a lot.¡±


    lu yanzhou asked: ¡°to whom?¡±


    xie chengze smiled sweetly: ¡°of course it¡¯s his majesty. ¡±


    he hates the person on the dragon throne, but he has to admit that this is the person he has to rely on now.


    his majesty, who has been spoiled, is much easier to fool than those big families.


    lu yanzhou believed in xie chengze¡¯s ability and choice: ¡°aze, i don¡¯t understand these things, you can handle it.¡±


    lu yanzhou generously gave xie chengze the oil extraction method and also the method of making tofu without hiding anything.


    xie chengze was a little surprised seeing lu yanzhou do this, but then he realized that lu yanzhou could only do this now.


    it doesn¡¯t matter what lu yanzhou wants now. if he doesn¡¯t give him this method, what will happen?


    xie chengze came to lu yanzhou, sat on lu yanzhou¡¯s lap, then gave him a sweet kiss: ¡°lu lang, you are so smart. i have never seen anyone smarter than you in this world.¡±


    lu yanzhou hugged and kissed him back. after kissing for a while, he picked him up and walked into the bedroom.


    his injury was completely healed now. since he was fully healed, he started taking the initiative regarding the bed matter.


    especially after discovering that xie chengze was not indifferent during the intimacy, lu yanzhou did not reject the matter at all.


    what he likes is xie chengze¡¯s soul from beginning to end, it has nothing to do with his body.


    what¡¯s more¡­the xie chengze of this world kept calling ¡®lu lang¡¯ one after another, which really made him excited and made him want to rub xie chengze into his body.


    when lu yanzhou got up the next morning, he had breakfast with xie chengze, and then rode out of the city with his guards.


    jia, yi, bing, and ding have been following him. there is also an eunuch running errands for him and an older guard beside him.


    these six people help him with things, but they also keep an eyes on him. anyway, lu yanzhou is used to this.


    when xie chengze is jealous, he either follows him himself or finds someone to follow him. these people usually listen to him, but if someone with good looks appears next to him¡­regardless of gender, these people will definitely report it to xie chengze.


    during their normal interactions, though xie chengze didn¡¯t stop him, he would also make out with him on the pretext of jealousy.


    when lu yanzhou arrived at the place, he was told that the kiln was ready for use, and all preparations had been made, so he could try firing porcelain.


    with the help of craftsmen who were specially recruited by xie chengze and were good at firing porcelain, lu yanzhou began to fire the first porcelain in his life.


    this was not something that could be fired in a short period of time. it was not until the next day that lu yanzhou had someone open the cave dwelling. he found that most of it had been burned and only a small part remained.


    this obviously doesn¡¯t work and needs to continue to be improved.


    lu yanzhou took a look at the finished product, picked the most beautiful one and took it with him, and then sped towards the capital.


    capital city, heaven prison.


    dayan has a saying, ¡®it¡¯s better to be a starving ghost than a third.¡¯


    this is not because dayan¡¯s people have high moral character, but because in dayan, ordinary people will be imprisoned if they commit theft. then once in prison¡­even if they commit a small crime, their families will be destroyed.


    the yamen servants are all blood suckers. they will torture those who enter the cells just to squeeze out money and water from them.


    in addition, the environment in the cells is also very bad. many people live in the same room, eating and shitting together, all dirty and smelly. the food provided by the yamen is even less¡­there are more people who die of illness in prisons every year than those sentenced to be beheaded every year.


    however, if the person in prison is rich enough, it¡¯s not impossible to eat and drink as they want in prison.


    the ordinary prison looks like an ordinary prison, and the heaven prison is almost like that too.


    however, this place is relatively cleaner, but more people died here.


    the prison was not built underground, but it was somewhat eerie. xie chengze walked through a long corridor and came to the execution room to see zhang quan.


    zhang quan, who had always shown off his power by xie chengze¡¯s side with a smile before, was now covered in dirt and hung on a wooden stick.


    after xie chengze seized power from him, he did not let him go. while he was still sick and confused, he had dug several holes for him, and then let the emperor discover that he resented the emperor¡­


    the emperor was furious. at that time, the courtiers who had never got along well with zhang quan did not need to be reminded by xie chengze, they had already begun to collect charges against zhang quan.


    zhang quan had committed many crimes. the emperor was furious and handed zhang quan into his hands and asked him to interrogate zhang quan.


    zhang quan could hold on at first, but after only one day of torture, he has confessed everything. now, zhang quan was already numb.


    seeing xie chengze come in, zhang quan begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face: ¡°xie gonggong, xie gonggong, i have already confessed everything to you, please let me go¡­¡±


    xie chengze stood in front of zhang quan.


    zhang quan¡¯s fingernails were all pulled out, he really looked miserable.


    most of the eunuchs who acted recklessly because of the emperor¡¯s favor ended badly. the one hanging here today is zhang quan, and it may be him someday too.


    ¡°please, let me go¡­i really did it all, i did it all¡­¡± zhang quan used to be a decent man, but now there¡¯s nothing decent about him at all.


    xie chengze stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then suddenly smiled, his usual sinister smile: ¡°zhang gonggong, in order to embezzle other people¡¯s fields, you asked your men to disguise themselves as thieves and kill all the people in a village; you netted charges and arrested people and put them in prison in order to get a treasure; you killed a wonderful young girl in order to satisfy your selfish desires¡­you still think i will let you go.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze, i have a lot of money, if you let me go, i will give you the money¡­¡±


    xie chengze asked everyone around him to leave.


    zhang quan¡¯s dead eyes lit up with a light.


    however, xie chengze did not discuss the deal with zhang quan. instead, he asked: ¡°more than ten years ago, did zhang gonggong take his majesty to the outskirts of the capital for hunting?¡±


    ¡°which time are you talking about?¡± zhang quan asked.


    ¡°the time he shot a child to death and killed the child¡¯s parents,¡± xie chengze said.


    zhang quan remembered, and suddenly realized something: ¡°you¡­you¡­¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s my younger brother and my parents. did zhang gonggong remember it?¡± xie chengze smile again.


    zhang quan¡¯s throat made a ¡®haha¡¯ sound and his pupils contracted.


    xie chengze said: ¡°zhang gonggong, since i have a grudge against you, i naturally won¡¯t let you out alive.¡±


    zhang quan suddenly laughed: ¡°i was the one who asked his majesty to go to the outskirts of the capital that time! his majesty went hunting in the woods, and the one who suffered was me! when i encounter danger, i am more likely to lose my life. his majesty took that child as a prey, i saw it but didn¡¯t warn, huh? his majesty killed that child and i helped him dispose of the child¡¯s parents¡­his majesty liked me even more since then!¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s eyes turn cold.


    zhang quan was a little crazy: ¡°did you know that the child was still alive after being hit by the arrow and was crying for his mother? what about the couple? they didn¡¯t know his majesty¡¯s identity and rushed up to demand an explanation. they scared his majesty, so they deserve to die¡­¡±


    zhang quan didn¡¯t get to finish his words because xie chengze cut his throat with a dagger.


    dedicated blood gushed out and flowed along the dagger to xie chengze¡¯s hand.


    it wasn¡¯t until blood soaked his sleeves that xie chengze suddenly regained his senses. he blinked, threw away the dagger in his hand in disgust, then walked out.


    his men were guarding outside, so xie chengze said, ¡°chop him into pieces and throw him outside the city to feed the dogs.¡±


    ¡°yes, lord qiansui.¡± xie chengze¡¯s men obeyed the order.


    xie chengze continued: ¡°find some clean clothes for me.¡±


    xie chengze briefly washed and changed his clothes before leaving the prison and returning home.


    he was delayed outside for a while, so it was already a little late when he got home. lu yanzhou even got home before him.


    ¡°aze, you are finally back!¡± lu yanzhou greeted him with a smile, ¡°i made porcelain!¡±


    seeing lu yanzhou, xie chengze also smiled. he stepped forward and leaned on lu yanzhou: ¡°lu lang, today i felt a little uncomfortable after going to the heaven prison.¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s wrong? were you scared? don¡¯t go to places like that anymore¡­¡± lu yanzhou comforted him.


    xie chengze leaned on him and responded obediently.


    lu yanzhou felt a little sorry for xie chengze. although xie chengze was smart, he was very simple at heart. in this world, he had to stay in such a terrible place as the palace, then he also had to serve people. he didn¡¯t know how much grief he had suffered.


    holding xie chengze in his arms and going into the room, lu yanzhou said: ¡°this dayan is rotten from the root. aze, when the time comes, leave with me, okay.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°where can i go like this?¡±


    lu yanzhou wanted to say more, but xie chengze already leaned in his arms and cried out that he was hungry.


    lu yanzhou immediately asked someone to bring dinner.


    xie chengze said that he was frightened by the sight in the prison, but he was eating meat happily during dinner with a good appetite.


    lu yanzhou suspected that he just wanted to be coquettish to him.


    after dinner, lu yanzhou talked about making porcelain.


    after a few more experiments, xie chengze¡¯s manor will be able to fire a steady stream of porcelain. however, if they want to make fine porcelain, they need suitable soil.


    now they lack such soil, so the porcelain they produce is always a bit unsatisfactory.


    xie chengze said: ¡°lu lang, this is all a trivial matter. tomorrow i will send someone to find the soil you want.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou agreed.


    ¡°lu lang, you have made another good thing. i don¡¯t know how to thank you.¡± xie chengze kissed lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°just don¡¯t be shy tonight!¡±


    on the first night, xie chengze was very bold, then after that he became more shy that sometimes he was not even allowed to touch his mutilated parts.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou, stunned, and then laughed: ¡°okay.¡±


    xie chengze had been worried that lu yanzhou would dislike his body, but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t seem to.


    yes, many men actually like him like this.


    lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t dislike his body, that¡¯s good.


    in the future, lu yanzhou would definitely get married and have a child, but before that, he could monopolize this person and squeeze him dry.


    this evening, xie chengze was not shy at all.


    zhang quan, who was once feared by everyone and was powerful, died quietly and the capital was still the same.


    that is to say, one day the emperor remembered it and asked him about it.


    xie chengze said that he committed suicide out of fear of his crime and presented zhang quan¡¯s belongings. the emperor became happy and even cursed zhang quan ¡ª zhang quan actually had a lot of money, even more money than what the emperor had in his hand and could use.


    the emperor ate various fried foods, accepted zhang quan¡¯s property, and expressed his intention to build a palace outside.


    of course, the money to build the palace was not enough¡­so the emperor urged xie chengze to sell oil and tofu quickly, so as to make a lot of money.


    the emperor felt that the palace was too small, he couldn¡¯t wait to build a big palace and live in it! for the first time, he even asked someone to get him a brush and paper to draw what he wanted the palace to look like.


    ¡°your majesty¡¯s paintings are so good. it¡¯s a pity that i haven¡¯t read any books and can¡¯t say anything to praise you.¡± xie chengze looked at the emperor with admiration.


    the emperor felt very comfortable when he saw xie chengze, then he asked xie chengze to think about making some other fresh dishes.


    xie chengze agreed with a smile and encouraged the emperor to hold a banquet to promote tofu.


    the emperor agreed immediately and immediately expressed his intention to hold a tofu banquet in the palace.


    of course, in addition to tofu, other varieties of fried food are also available.


    xie chengze told lu yanzhou the news that night.


    ¡°lu lang, when the palace holds the tofu banquet, your tofu will definitely sell for a good price.¡± xie chengze said with a smile.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± his tofu sounds really weird.

 CH 158

    the emperor hosting a banquet is not strange to the ministers in the imperial court.


    the current emperor¡¯s life is quite extravagant and lustful. as a result, he never has enough money to spend, and he will do anything to make money.


    this includes hosting large banquets.


    there wasn¡¯t much to eat at the banquet, but the gifts received were really quite a lot.


    this time basically all the dignitaries from the capital were invited to the palace banquet. people from big families didn¡¯t think much of it, but most of them still felt very honored and took out their best things as gifts, and strived to show their face at the banquet.


    even if the emperor¡¯s power is not what it used to be, the imperial family is still the largest family.


    ¡°his majesty suddenly held a banquet this time. i don¡¯t know what he wanted to do.¡±


    ¡°i heard that thief xie donated some rare food¡­¡±


    ¡°that thief zhang has been killed. unfortunately, thief xie¡¯s hands are slippery and difficult to catch.¡±


    ¡°he won¡¯t last long.¡±


    ¡­


    everyone was talking privately, then someone came to wang tingyun and asked wang tingyun what he thought of xie chengze.


    the old wang family patriarch was ill and did not come, so wang tingyun represented the wang family and said: ¡°xie gonggong is working for the emperor.¡±


    this was the same as saying nothing.


    in fact, everyone also knew that the emperor couldn¡¯t control the court and couldn¡¯t make them obey, so he found a eunuch to suppress them.


    they were dissatisfied with this, but if they didn¡¯t want to tear face with the emperor, they had to act within the rules.


    if xie chengze doesn¡¯t do anything that violates the rules, they can¡¯t do anything to him either.


    all the officials entered the palace and took their seats in their respective positions.


    at this time, a news spread ¡ª today, xie chengze will bring the man he raised at home into the palace.


    someone came close to wang tingyun and whispered: ¡°i heard that the eldest prince was curious and mentioned this matter to his majesty. his majesty also became interested and asked xie chengze to bring him into the palace, saying that he wanted to take a look.¡±


    wang tingyun said: ¡°i already know.¡±


    after wang tingyun finished speaking, he said no more. the person who came to tell wang tingyun this gossip felt a little bored.


    he still had a lot to say, but unfortunately wang tingyun was too serious.


    this person went elsewhere and talked about this matter with other people. the others were obviously very interested in this matter: ¡°that thief xie has a noble appearance, but i never thought he would actually take this road.¡±


    ¡°he is good-looking. i wonder what he tastes like.¡±


    ¡°the person he raised is really shameless.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s a disgrace to us men.¡±


    ¡°i heard that man used to be a yamen servant, i wonder what he looks like.¡±


    ¡°he should be strong and powerful enough to make xie gonggong call his mother.¡±


    ¡­


    while everyone was talking, xie chengze already brought lu yanzhou into the palace.


    the current emperor is not young anymore, he has many princes and princesses in the palace already.


    among them, there are four grown-up princes. the eldest prince is very similar to the current emperor and is the most favored one among the many princes.


    at first, xie chengze was full of expectations for these princes. he thought that when the emperor died, they could succeed him.


    however, he soon realized that these people were fundamentally crooked.


    it was when the eldest prince was only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time. he killed a pregnant woman because he wanted to see what the fetus looked like in the mother¡¯s belly.


    this kind of person should go to hell.


    xie chengze actually had no intention of bringing lu yanzhou into the palace. it was because the eldest prince said something to the emperor that made the emperor ask him to bring lu yanzhou with him.


    ¡°lu lang, the situation in the palace is complicated. you must be careful.¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t worry, i will be careful.¡±


    xie chengze added, ¡°i¡¯m afraid i won¡¯t be able to take good care of you when we enter the palace¡­¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t worry, aze, i can handle it.¡± lu yanzhou smile again and squeezed xie chengze¡¯s hand.


    xie chengze had given numerous instructions along the way, just because he was afraid that he might offend others at the banquet. however, he was not a reckless person, he would be patient even if something were to really happen to him.


    seeing that lu yanzhou was not nervous at all, xie chengze thought about how lu yanzhou was always smart and knew what was best for him, so he said no more and only glanced at lu yanzhou¡¯s clothes with slight dissatisfaction.


    after knowing that he was going to the palace, lu yanzhou dressed up and put on new clothes. lu yanzhou now looked much more refined and handsome than his usual gray-faced appearance.


    seeing xie chengze looking at his clothes, lu yanzhou asked with a smile: ¡°how do i look? i won¡¯t embarrass you.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°the four young masters in the capital are not as good as you, lu lang.¡±


    after boasting, the two of them felt much more relaxed, and together they entered the banquet hall.


    as soon as he entered, xie chengze changed his temperament and returned to the aloof and cold look that lu yanzhou saw when he first met him.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s temperament has also changed. he was once a scholar in ancient times, and now he looks like an aristocratic young man who grew up in a wealthy county.


    the original owner did not do physical work when he was a yamen servant, so he was not as dark-skinned as the common people.


    when he arrived in the capital, lu yanzhou not only ate and drank well, he also wore a windproof hat when riding horses. his skin was even better, so he looked no rougher than the young masters from the big family.


    the look of these two people immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    these people were all curious about the man xie chengze raised at home, so they were a little dazed after seeing him.


    they investigated and found out that the man xie chengze raised was a yamen servant he kidnapped from outside.


    what does that yamen servant look like? everyone thought that xie chengze¡¯s man should be a dark strong man with a fierce face, but in fact¡­he was a gentle and elegant man like spring breeze and bright moon.


    the people who had laughed at lu yanzhou before didn¡¯t look very good now.


    lu yanzhou is much more handsome than them!


    there are also some people who are not so gossipy and even think that it has nothing to do with them what kind of person xie chengze likes or what he wants to do. when these people see lu yanzhou, they have only one thought ¡ª turns out this person looks like this! no wonder xie gonggong liked it and kidnapped him back to the capital!


    xie chengze looked at the people around him coldly, then led lu yanzhou to the seat he had arranged, then asked lu yanzhou to sit down.


    as for himself, he would have to serve the emperor later.


    ¡°lu lang, you wait here. if someone is disrespectful to you, you can just tell someone to tell me.¡± xie chengze still called him lu lang, but his voice and demeanor were completely different from when he was alone with lu yanzhou. when he said this, he also glanced at the people around them.


    ¡°brother xie, don¡¯t worry about me, i can handle it.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    xie chengze left, but he still left someone by lu yanzhou¡¯s side.


    as soon as xie chengze left, everyone¡¯s eyes focused on lu yanzhou.


    being stared at by so many people, lu yanzhou smiled broadly and looked at them calmly.


    if someone looked at him with malicious gazes, he would just ignore it. if someone looked at him with inquiring gazes¡­lu yanzhou raised his cup and smiled at the other person.


    wang tingyun looked at lu yanzhou¡¯s smile and frowned in thought.


    he knew that the man beside xie chengze was the one who deceived his daughter.


    he hated that man with all his heart, but he didn¡¯t know what that man looked like.


    so that person looks like this? wang tingyun suddenly understood why his daughter had lost her head.


    it¡¯s a pity that this guy¡¯s embroidered pillow is just a straw inside, it¡¯s only skin deep.


    everyone else thought the same.


    although they looked down on xie chengze and even lu yanzhou, but now that xie chengze was in power, they were unwilling and did not dare to confront xie chengze, so no one came up to find fault with lu yanzhou.


    however, there were people who wanted to curry favor with xie chengze, or it was xie chengze¡¯s subordinates who simply went up to talk to lu yanzhou.


    facing these people, lu yanzhou dealt with them appropriately, then these people secretly sighed ¡ª xie gonggong¡¯s taste is really not bad.


    lu yanzhou and the others came early, then everyone soon arrived. at this time, the emperor finally arrived with several princes and several concubines.


    after some conversation, the banquet officially began.


    the emperor left it to xie chengze to prepare the ¡®tofu banquet¡¯ this time, so xie chengze solicited lu yanzhou¡¯s opinion to draft the menu.


    fried chicken is considered junk food in modern times, but in this era which lacks oil, this is the supreme delicacy.


    and very precious!


    therefore, the first dish served was fried chicken drumstick, followed by fried fish, fried pork ribs, croquettes and even many other fried foods.


    the quantity of each item is not much, just one piece. besides these, there is also no shortage of soy products such as tofu soup.


    dishes that everyone had never seen before were served one by one, and those who had no expectations for the food at the banquet were shocked.


    some people who had eaten in advance regretted filling their stomachs before coming.


    the food at this banquet is really delicious. they really wonder what the white jade-like food was made of.


    lu yanzhou looked around and knew that their business wouldn¡¯t be too bad next time. however, at this moment, the emperor on the dragon throne suddenly thought of lu yanzhou and asked lu yanzhou to go over.


    lu yanzhou once again appeared in front of people, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.


    everyone thought that the emperor would be a little disgusted with lu yanzhou who was involved with xie chengze. they never thought that the emperor would say to xie chengze: ¡°little xie, you have good taste. he¡¯s very good looking! hahahaha!¡± the emperor, who was in a good mood, even asked xie chengze and lu yanzhou to eat dinner together, so there was no need to wait on him.


    the ministers: ¡°¡­¡± the emperor is still the same!


    as for lu yanzhou and xie chengze, they sat down together, then lu yanzhou began to give various foods to xie chengze.


    xie chengze straightened his back and kept paying attention to everything around him, but lu yanzhou was different. he only had xie chengze in his eyes. from time to time, he would feed xie chengze something too.


    lu yanzhou made his decision from the very beginning. in front of others, he has to play the role of a pretty boy next to xie chengze.


    as for these people¡­of course it¡¯s to make money, make money, make a lot of money from them!


    building up grain while slowing down the reign of kind is the right way1slow and steady wins the race!


    everyone saw the handsome man beside xie gonggong taking care of his food and drink with a smile from a distance.


    they used to think that lu yanzhou might be a shield brought by xie chengze, but now they believe that xie chengze is really interested in this person.


    they even envied xie chengze.


    of course, there are also people who envy lu yanzhou ¡ª there are always many people who covet xie chengze.

 CH 159

    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t do much at the banquet.


    he just serves as a vase to divert people¡¯s attention from xie chengze. as for other things¡­if he had the time, he might as well cultivate jia, yi, bing, and ding.


    xie chengze arranged jia, yi, bing, and ding to be by his side. since xie chengze did this, it shows that they are trustworthy.


    lu yanzhou talked with them and found that they were all sold by their parents after a disaster at home. they no longer knew where their parents were. they were smart people, so he simply raised them as confidants.


    he will need some assistants in the future, and young people like jia, yi, bing, and ding are just right for him!


    as for making money¡­these three items, porcelain, vegetable oil and tofu, are enough for the time being.


    with this in mind, lu yanzhou gave xie chengze a piece of fried tofu: ¡°this tofu tastes good.¡±


    after the tofu was deep-fried and cooked, the finished product tasted very delicious.


    xie chengze actually didn¡¯t have much appetite today, but he still ate. while eating, he felt lu yanzhou holding his hand.


    he relaxed and suddenly felt hungry.


    halfway through the banquet, the emperor left, followed by others.


    xie chengze asked someone to send lu yanzhou back first, while he stayed to arrange the follow-up matters.


    as a result, while he was busy working, the eldest prince arrived.


    the eldest prince is a slightly plump young man. he isn¡¯t bad looking and can be described as handsome based on his appearance, but his cloudy eyes are always annoying.


    lu yanzhou wasn¡¯t like this.


    although xie chengze felt that lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes were not pure when he faced him, his eyes were full of him. if not he would never be stuck in lu yanzhou¡¯s pit and be unable to get out.


    ¡°this servant has seen his highness.¡± xie chengze saluted.


    ¡°don¡¯t be so formal.¡± the eldest prince stretched out his hand to help xie chengze.


    but xie chengze dodged and said, ¡°with my humble body, i dare not pollute his highness.¡±


    ¡°xie gonggong, i never think you are humble¡­you know, i have always thought of you¡­¡± the eldest prince reached out to pull xie chengze, the hint in his words could not be more obvious.


    xie chengze felt sick.


    he wanted to find a shield, which also had something to do with the eldest prince. the eldest prince had long been interested in him, and sometimes would try to do something to him.


    it¡¯s just that in the past, the eldest prince thought that he had something to do with the emperor, so he didn¡¯t dare to take action.


    but not long ago, the eldest prince discovered that he had nothing to do with the emperor and began to harass him.


    he thought that the eldest prince would give up if there was someone by his side, but he didn¡¯t expect that he would still come to find him.


    in the past, xie chengze could only put up with him, but now¡­xie chengze said: ¡°your highness, i have to run errands for his majesty, so i¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    the eldest prince¡¯s face changed, but he really didn¡¯t dare to do anything to xie chengze now.


    xie chengze had a way to make money, so his father wanted xie chengze to make money for him. at this time, if he and xie chengze were to have a conflict, it would not be a good thing for him.


    his father had many children, including four sons over the age of sixteen and a dozen under the age of sixteen. to his father, children were worthless.


    the eldest prince glanced at xie chengze greedily, then finally left angrily.


    seeing him walking away, xie chengze began to wonder whether he should support the second prince, the third prince, or the fourth prince?


    these princes are really too idle, he should find something for them to do.


    on the second day after the palace banquet, xie chengze opened his oil shop in the capital.


    for a time, there was a huge crowd waiting out there.


    dayan has a strict hierarchy, so a lot of knowledge is monopolized by the big families. no matter what ordinary people learn, they have no channels to do it.


    and this knowledge even includes recipes.


    almost all big families have some dishes that only they know.


    it¡¯s just that in such an era, although the special dishes cherished by large families are delicious, they are not as good as fried foods and stir-fry dishes.


    as a big family, they must use the best and eat the best. with such delicious food, it¡¯s impossible for them not to eat it.


    as for those small families¡­it¡¯s usually difficult for them to come into contact with such ingredients. now that they finally have the opportunity to eat them, they must buy them back and taste them.


    when entertaining guests, they also give out a few palace food, which definitely make others envious.


    there is also tofu, which they already know is made of soybeans. after all, xie chengze has bought a lot of soybeans recently but they just don¡¯t know how to make them, so they must try it now.


    due to insufficient raw materials, xie chengze¡¯s manor¡¯s oil production is not high, just a few barrels per day. these barrels of oil are sold out almost as soon as they are delivered to the store, and the same goes for tofu.


    these things were valuable, so xie chengze naturally made a lot of money.


    not long after, there was something else in xie chengze¡¯s shop¡­some exquisite and beautiful porcelain.


    what people in the capital love to do most is compare themselves to others.


    if other people¡¯s homes are already using exquisite porcelain, they must have it in their home too!


    not only that, buying it first means one has the ability!


    therefore, for a period of time, everyone was competing for it, then the price of porcelain became higher and higher.


    wang family.


    old patriarch wang finally gave up and passed the position of patriarch of the family to wang tingyun.


    today, the new patriarch of the wang family was receiving some officials in his study.


    these people came to wang tingyun because they wanted to work with wang tingyun to curb xie chengze¡¯s upward momentum.


    ¡°that thief xie has been in the limelight recently. he has made an unknown amount of money already. we must cure him.¡±


    ¡°his majesty was so confused by him that he went so far as to build another palace!¡±


    ¡°i wonder where he stole the method of making porcelain from!¡±


    ¡­


    wang tingyun looked at the people in front of him calmly: ¡°do you have any way to deal with him?¡±


    those who were still talking looked at each other, then became quiet.


    they could impeach xie chengze, but even if the emperor saw it, he would only sympathize with xie chengze who gave him a lot of money and was isolated and besieged by courtiers.


    apart from this, there is nothing else they can do without intending to change the dynasty.


    it¡¯s always uncomfortable seeing a eunuch above them and possessing such good things.


    such a sycophant should be cast aside.


    if the world is not peaceful, it must be because the emperor doesn¡¯t do a good job. if the emperor doesn¡¯t do a good job, there must be something wrong with the people around him, right?


    wang tingyun picked up the tea cup and took a sip.


    the teacup in his hand was porcelain bought from xie chengze¡¯s shop.


    dayan pottery often has many colors, but porcelain does not have many colors.


    in fact, lu yanzhou did not improve dayan¡¯s porcelain firing method. he mainly added pigments to the porcelain.


    on earth, underglaze colors appeared in the song dynasty, and overglaze colors appeared in the ming dynasty. these made ceramics more and more beautiful.


    and the porcelain he produced was beautifully painted porcelain, so in this era when most people used celadon, these remarkably alike things were a blow to them.


    those who kept saying they wanted to boycott xie chengze couldn¡¯t look away when they saw the porcelain in wang tingyun¡¯s hand.


    wang tingyun sneered in his heart, and then said: ¡°i have no conflicts with xie chengze, so he is willing to give me some face. if you want porcelain, i can help you find a way¡­¡±


    everyone said: ¡°we all want the porcelain painted by the master himself.¡±


    ¡°i want a complete set.¡±


    ¡°yes, i want a complete set.¡±


    ¡­


    recently, there are always people in the capital saying that when using porcelain, one needs to buy a whole set, but buying the whole set is quite expensive!


    however, no matter how expensive it is, they can¡¯t live without it if others have it.


    ¡°they need a complete set of porcelain,¡± lu yanzhou said, and xie chengze publicized it.


    besides¡­the master who painted porcelain was lu yanzhou.


    most of the porcelain made by lu yanzhou is overglaze color, for no other reason than that it is easy to paint and has strong expressiveness.


    he has great painting skills, so after a few attempts, he could paint beautifully. in addition, their porcelain is now in the high-end market, so it¡¯s enough to produce a set every day¡­he will just paint it himself. of course, while he was painting, he also trained some apprentices.


    they can¡¯t just make him draw all the time!


    it¡¯s now the end of the year, and xie chengze¡¯s manor has also changed drastically.


    there are thousands of guards in this village!


    the things produced in the manor have been making money for them, but that is not what xie chengze said in front of the emperor.


    what he kept saying was that he was making money and doing things for the emperor. everything in the manor belonged to the emperor, and he was just a manager.


    the emperor thought so too. so when xie chengze was worried that someone would steal the porcelain making method, the emperor gave xie chengze the right to have more guards with a wave of his hand.


    dayan¡¯s wealthy family, as well as the princes in the fiefdom, all have private soldiers, but they are all secretly raised. in the capital, they dare not raise more.


    xie chengze now has such a right, which is of great benefit to him!


    he can train his own people openly!


    the most important thing is that after he has money, he can win over many officials!


    lu yanzhou returned to the capital before dark that day as usual.


    the new year is coming up in a few days, so there are a lot of things going on in the palace, therefore xie chengze is very busy. when lu yanzhou came back, xie chengze wasn¡¯t home yet.


    lu yanzhou took a bath first, and then went to the study room to read.


    when he was captured by xie chengze to the capital, it was still the 6th month, and now in the blink of an eye, it was already the 12 month.


    time passed quickly, and now he has ¡®learned¡¯ most of the words and can read by himself.


    in addition, he also has a good relationship and career. now he and xie chengze not only have a good relationship, but also have money and people. they can also make a career after leaving the capital!


    ¡°lu lang!¡± xie chengze finally came back. he took off his cloak and entered the study.


    a furnace was lit in the study, which was much warmer than outside. as soon as he came in, xie chengze snorted comfortably, then took a few steps to lu yanzhou and sat on lu yanzhou¡¯s lap: ¡°lu lang, it¡¯s getting colder and colder outside¡­¡±


    ¡°how is the carriage i modified for you? is it any warmer?¡± lu yanzhou held xie chengze¡¯s hand and helped him warm it.


    after winter, xie chengze¡¯s body is always cold. fortunately, he is very warm. as long as he sleeps with xie chengze in his arms, xie chengze¡¯s whole body will always be warm.


    ¡°yes, but it¡¯s not as warm as you.¡± xie chengze said.


    ¡°that¡¯s right, i¡¯m a humanoid heater.¡± lu yanzhou laughed.


    xie chengze was hugged by lu yanzhou, then he told lu yanzhou what happened in the court.


    lu yanzhou liked to hear these, and sometimes he would give useful suggestions, so he became accustomed to telling it to lu yanzhou.


    sure enough, lu yanzhou hit the nail on the head again and pointed out some problems.


    xie chengze wrote them down one by one.


    as he spoke, lu yanzhou said: ¡°this winter is extremely cold. there have been many disasters this year, so it may not be any better next year¡­the world may be in chaos at some point. aze, leave the capital with me.¡±


    xie chengze was stunned for a moment: ¡°go where?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°to jiangnan.¡±


    ¡°what do you want to do?¡± xie chengze asked him.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t hide it either: ¡°i want to change another day for a day1start over and leave the past behind¡­aze, i will never let you suffer any injustice when the time comes!¡±

 CH 160

    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou intently.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes were full of sincerity with no trace of lies at all.


    does lu yanzhou really want to take him to jiangnan and let him live a good life?


    xie chengze couldn¡¯t believe it.


    he has been making waves in the capital for many years. how many people know him?


    with the emperor around, no one dared to do anything to him, but if he left the capital, there would surely be many people who wanted to kill him, even the emperor would not let him go.


    so what if he has some subordinates? what can he do with those few people?


    he couldn¡¯t even protect himself outside the capital, how could lu yanzhou protect him?


    as for his relationship with lu yanzhou, feelings are never secure. the beauty who was once favored by the emperor was now living outside the palace; the eldest prince fell in love at first sight with the zhou family daughter and married her as his imperial consort, and now he is also hitting on him.


    even his biological father¡­his mother was once the most beautiful woman in the capital, and his father tried every means to marry her. now, his mother is no longer beautiful, and his father already has many young and beautiful women around him.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s feelings for him were inherently impure. even if lu yanzhou liked his body, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to pay much for him.


    besides¡­lu yanzhou had also talked about going to jiangnan to live a good life with his cousin.


    back then, lu yanzhou wanted to take his cousin to jiangnan.


    after getting along with lu yanzhou during this time, xie chengze had already discovered that lu yanzhou was no ordinary person.


    he doesn¡¯t know whether it was because of his mother¡¯s teachings when he was young that changed him, or whether he had some experience while growing up. lu yanzhou¡¯s knowledge was extraordinary.


    lu yanzhou still hid things from him at the beginning, but since the two of them became closer, he perhaps felt that he would not betray him, so lu yanzhou began to show him more and more things.


    only now did he know that lu yanzhou also had the ambition to vie for the land under heaven!


    jiangnan should be his chosen starting point.


    half a year ago, lu yanzhou wanted to take his cousin to jiangnan, but now it¡¯s him?


    if he were the same age as his cousin and had never experienced family destruction, he would definitely be willing, but he was not.


    he is older than lu yanzhou and has experienced more things.


    ¡°i have never been to jiangnan, and there are so many people who want me dead¡­¡± xie chengze put his arms around lu yanzhou¡¯s neck and spoke pitifully.


    it¡¯s precisely because lu yanzhou knew that many people wanted xie chengze dead, that¡¯s why he wanted xie chengze to leave with him. once outside, the sea is wide enough for the fish to leap and mountains are high though for birds to fly, xie chengze would definitely feel more at ease!


    as for the future¡­he has the original owner¡¯s memory, so he also knows which places are more chaotic and which places are relatively safe, so he can always protect xie chengze.


    ¡°aze, i will protect you.¡±


    xie chengze said, ¡°lu lang, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore, okay?¡±


    lu yanzhou thought for a moment and did not continue.


    he wasn¡¯t very strong now and could only make very few arrangements, he really couldn¡¯t set xie chengze¡¯s mind at ease.


    while lu yanzhou was thinking about this, xie chengze had already hugged and kissed him¡­it was another spring scene in the room.


    it truly wasn¡¯t right for him to ask xie chengze to follow him to jiangnan when he had nothing. thinking things through, lu yanzhou finally asked xie chengze for a few people. he also gave these people some property, telling them to go to jiangnan first to do some preliminary preparations..


    on this side, he also specially wrote a plan to tell xie chengze what he planned to do.


    ¡°lu lang, no matter what you want to do, i will fully support you.¡± xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou tenderly and gave lu yanzhou all the manpower, money, and food lu yanzhou wanted.


    according to lu yanzhou¡¯s request, he also ordered some people to come back and gave them to lu yanzhou to teach.


    in times of disaster, more and more people are selling their children and daughters. times like this are undoubtedly the best for ambitious people like lu yanzhou.


    in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.


    nowadays, when making porcelain, lu yanzhou no longer needs to draw the patterns himself. he has already trained relevant talents.


    they can now make a lot of porcelain every day, but the supply is still short, who knows how much money they make back.


    as for oil extraction¡­they have been short of soybeans and peanuts, but fortunately this year the first crop of soybeans in the south has grown. they negotiated with people last year to let people grow these. it was a huge number, they can extract oil and also make a lot of tofu.


    today, lu yanzhou talked about going to the south again: ¡°aze, i have made a lot of arrangements in the south. in half a year, we can find a way to escape and live in the south.¡±


    upon hearing this, xie chengze suddenly said: ¡°lu lang, i won¡¯t go to the south.¡±


    lu yanzhou was stunned.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t seem like he wanted to stick to lu yanzhou like before. he sat up straight and said expressionlessly: ¡°i have a grudge against the emperor, so i want to stay in the capital to take revenge.¡±


    ¡°if you want revenge, we can find a way to kill him before leaving.¡± said lu yanzhou. this emperor has done too many ridiculous things.


    for example, the matter of constructing a palace¡­xie chengze was originally the one handling this matter.


    this year is indeed another disaster year for dayan. many people have been displaced with no food to eat. some refugees have even come to the vicinity of the capital.


    xie chengze simply recruited the refugees to work and gave them a bite to eat, which was killing two birds with one stone. however, the emperor recently fell in love with a beauty, and then directly gave the work of building the palace to the beauty¡¯s family.


    that beauty was in an ordinary family, so her family could not even recognize her writing. she could not do anything but ask for money. she kept depriving the refugees of food and starved many of them to death¡­


    xie chengze even encouraged the emperor to go on for an inspection and also brought the matter to the emperor. however, what the emperor cared about was that there were fewer workers so the construction may be delayed.


    as for the fact that many people died¡­the emperor didn¡¯t care at all.


    xie chengze said: ¡°kill him, and the next emperor will not be much better. as you said, this dayan is rotten from the root. i wanted revenge at first, but now, i want to cut down all those dead branches and leaves!¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s voice in this world is different from ordinary men. when he speaks, his tone is also different from others. he is usually a bit sinister in front of outsiders, but when facing lu yanzhou, he is a bit too gentle.


    however, he was speaking in a normal tone at this moment. lu yanzhou could hear the sincerity in his words.


    however, what xie chengze wanted to do was not simple. in the original historical trajectory, xie chengze killed so many people that the first thing the new emperor did when he invaded the capital was to sacrifice xie chengze to heaven.


    if the new emperor were him, he would never do such a thing, but he was afraid that xie chengze would be harmed in the process of cleaning up the court.


    xie chengze added: ¡°i won¡¯t go to jiangnan. i have my own things to do. only by completing them can i live with peace of mind.¡±


    lu yanzhou sighed silently.


    in fact, he already knew what xie chengze wanted to do.


    the fact that dayan is like this has something to do with the imperial family and the big family.


    those people hold all kinds of resources and knowledge. if they cannot be uprooted, even if a new dynasty is established¡­when the time comes to choose officials, they will definitely have to choose from those families. in the end, the imperial court will be full of them again!


    there is even a saying that the iron-clad influential family is the emperor¡¯s flowing water.


    xie chengze has to deal with not only the imperial family, but also various families.


    in the original owner¡¯s memory, xie chengze destroyed many families who were rich and unkind that had committed many crimes.


    this was very dangerous. he didn¡¯t want xie chengze to do it, but¡­he had no reason to stop xie chengze.


    xie chengze is no worse than him, there is no reason to become his vassal.


    if xie chengze wants to do something, he should support xie chengze instead of blocking him.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, if you don¡¯t want to leave, then you can stay. however, train more people, and protect yourself¡­i will definitely come back to you as soon as possible.¡±


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou hugged him and kissed him.


    whatever xie chengze wants to do, he will definitely support him!


    however, if xie chengze wanted to stay in the capital¡­


    he originally wanted to take his time, even if he won¡¯t win the world¡­as long as he managed an area like an iron barrel, he could protect xie chengze.


    xie chengze, who followed him out of the capital, would attract a lot of attention at first, but as time goes by, he would no longer attract attention.


    but now¡­he must take over this land under heaven.


    otherwise, if others take it and attack the capital, how will xie chengze still survive then?


    xie chengze¡¯s current reputation is already very very bad due to what those big families publicize. it will definitely be even worse in a few years.


    if he wants to protect xie chengze, he must have enough power.


    it has been a year since he came to this world. lu yanzhou has accumulated some merit, but not much. he has not spent all his energy on accumulating merit¡­this is all because of xie chengze¡¯s identity.


    with xie chengze¡¯s status now, having a good body will only cause trouble for him. only by having enough power can keep him safe and sound.


    lu yanzhou stayed in the capital for several more months until the end of the year.


    dayan has been hit by disasters for several years. in some places, there is even no harvest, so people are very miserable.


    however, the tax revenue was not reduced at all. this winter, people in some places finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, so they rose up and shouted the slogan ¡®anti-yan¡¯.


    the world was in chaos.


    lu yanzhou knew he had to leave¡­he left the capital with jia, yi, bing, ding and some people he had carefully trained this year.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t go to see him off. in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn¡¯t want lu yanzhou to leave.


    if it were more than a year ago, he would definitely have stopped lu yanzhou. he would never allow lu yanzhou to leave, or he may even lock lu yanzhou up altogether.


    however, not now.


    over the past year or so, lu yanzhou has helped him a lot. his growing power now has something to do with lu yanzhou.


    he couldn¡¯t get so many benefits from lu yanzhou and still lock him up.


    what¡¯s more, he was reluctant to hurt lu yanzhou.


    thinking about it carefully, lu yanzhou leaving was actually the best choice for him.


    now that lu yanzhou is gone, he can free his hands and feet to do something big.


    for more than a year, heaven has already taken great pity on him by giving him a sweet dream that lasted for a year.


    lu yanzhou said a lot before leaving and promised to come back to him as soon as possible, but xie chengze knew very well that there was no future between them.


    it doesn¡¯t matter whether lu yanzhou succeeds or not, it depends on whether he can survive.


    if lu yanzhou really succeeded in conquering the world and he was still alive at the time¡­will lu yanzhou really be with a notorious eunuch from the previous dynasty?


    at that time, only death awaited him!


    besides¡­lu yanzhou has been by his side for more than a year, and he has to rely on him in everything. he is very proactive, so lu yanzhou has never gone to find anyone else, but now that lu yanzhou has left the capital¡­


    with lu yanzhou¡¯s abundant energy, when they meet again in the future, lu yanzhou may already have a long list of children!


    he loved lu yanzhou and was willing to do many things for lu yanzhou, but this did not include sharing lu yanzhou with others. one day, even if lu yanzhou let him go, he would not live to seek that little favor.


    today, xie chengze sat alone in the room where he and lu yanzhou had lived for more than a year for a long time.


    at night, he came out of the room and asked someone to prepare another place for him. he also found his godson sheng yuan: ¡°sheng yuan¡­do as planned.¡±

 CH 161

    lu yanzhou has been preparing to leave since a year ago.


    he did this without hiding it from xie chengze, who also gave him a lot of help.


    under such circumstances, they naturally discussed what to do after lu yanzhou left.


    in the past year and a half, relying on porcelain, oil and tofu, xie chengze made countless money, and also attracted the jealousy of many people. these people not only placed many people in xie chengze¡¯s manor, but also kept making trouble for xie chengze.


    xie chengze planned to take this opportunity to catch all these people.


    so, that night, xie chengze entered the palace crying, saying that the place where porcelain was fired was attacked by thieves, the cave dwelling was destroyed, and lu yanzhou was killed.


    the emperor was furious. after all, porcelain was a good thing that made money for money. if xie chengze couldn¡¯t make porcelain, when would his palace be built?


    he gave xie chengze some military power and asked him to investigate carefully and start re-firing as soon as possible.


    after this investigation, some people naturally suffered. xie chengze also took the opportunity to promote some poor children who had taken refuge with him.


    the capital has been in chaos for a long time, so xie chengze¡¯s reputation has also become worse, causing many people to denounce him.


    xie chengze doesn¡¯t care about this.


    he has long been used to being attacked, so he only cares about power. now that he has power, he can protest against the big families in the capital, so he is very satisfied.


    at the end of the year, wang tingyun secretly met with xie chengze.


    they met in a private room of a restaurant xie chengze¡¯s owned. when xie chengze entered, his brows and eyes were filled with anger.


    he just killed some people not long ago.


    one can really find many crimes of these dayan¡¯s influential families at random!


    ¡°chengze.¡± wang tingyun called.


    xie chengze sat in front of wang tingyun and asked: ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    wang tingyun sighed: ¡°what do you want to do?¡±


    xie chengze suddenly laughed: ¡°be a eunuch who will be infamous for thousands of years and ruin dayan. when future generations write history books and write about dayan, they will not be able to avoid me!¡±


    wang tingyun was helpless: ¡°why do you bother¡­¡±


    ¡°since i can¡¯t go down in history, it¡¯s better to be infamy for thousands of years. isn¡¯t that good?¡± xie chengze raised the corner of his lips.


    wang tingyun knew what xie chengze wanted to do, so he changed the subject: ¡°your grandfather is dying¡­¡±


    ¡°i have nothing to do with the wang family,¡± xie chengze said, ¡°i will not meet you again in the future, i just want to advise you¡­properly restrain your clan, okay.¡±


    wang tingyun said: ¡°i understand.¡±


    xie chengze stopped talking and slowly began to eat the food in front of him.


    in fact, this restaurant is not opened by him, but rather by lu yanzhou. lu yanzhou had a flexible mind and came up with many dishes, but he felt that it was too wasteful to only deliver them to the palace, so he opened this restaurant.


    this restaurant cooks many dishes that are not available elsewhere. it has been very popular since it opened, and the business is very good, making them a lot of money.


    at this time, a plate of extremely thin slices of roast duck was placed in front of xie chengze. xie chengze picked up a piece, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth, missing lu yanzhou a little.


    ¡°the food here tastes really good.¡± wang tingyun couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    xie chengze said: ¡°lord wang can come here often.¡±


    ¡°i will.¡± wang tingyun laughed. he stopped talking about important affairs in the court and only talked about the food in the restaurant, so xie chengze started talking more now.


    after finishing the meal, wang tingyun said: ¡°i¡¯m leaving, you¡­take care of yourself.¡±


    xie chengze came from the wang family, but the wang family could not recognize him. xie chengze himself also had no feelings for the wang family and only had contact with him.


    this year, xie chengze had made things a little easier for him, but at the same time, xie chengze also alienated him.


    xie chengze will not see him again in the future, so the relationship between the wang family and xie chengze will definitely be severed.


    ¡°wait a minute,¡± xie chengze suddenly stopped wang tingyun, ¡°little sister is getting married?¡±


    wang tingyun did not expect that xie chengze would suddenly ask about his daughter, so he then said: ¡°yes, your grandfather has been in poor health recently, so her marriage has been brought forward.¡±


    xie chengze nodded, turned and left.


    xie chengze has always been concerned about lu yanzhou¡¯s feelings for his cousin. for the past year and a half, he has been keeping an eye on lu yanzhou, fearing that lu yanzhou would find his cousin.


    as a result, lu yanzhou didn¡¯t look for her at all, and he had never asked too.


    lu yanzhou left very cleanly this time.


    whether it was his cousin or him, they were probably just passers-by in lu yanzhou¡¯s life.


    what lu yanzhou really cares about is power.


    for the sake of power, lu yanzhou is willing to do anything!


    this year, xie chengze has been very busy and hectic.


    however, fortunately, he had a lot of things to do so that he didn¡¯t miss lu yanzhou all day long.


    he should forget about lu yanzhou.


    the original lu yanzhou had no people and money, so it was difficult for him to develop when he went to jiangnan. however, he stayed by his side for a year and a half, and vigorously developed with the emperor¡¯s support¡­before lu yanzhou left the capital, he took a lot of gold and silver, as well as a lot of subordinates.


    going to the south now, it won¡¯t be difficult for lu yanzhou to raise a group of people.


    in this way, lu yanzhou no longer needs him and will probably not contact him again.


    on new year¡¯s eve, xie chengze stayed in the palace until late at night before going home.


    on this day last year, he came back very late, but lu yanzhou, who had been waiting for him, prepared dough and fillings and made dumplings with him.


    they set up a small pot on the stove and used it to cook dumplings, tofu, and beef. the dipping sauce lu yanzhou prepared at that time was quite delicious¡­


    but today, his home was very deserted.


    xie chengze was sitting in the carriage that lu yanzhou had modified for him, with a stove installed under the seat.


    it was warm in the carriage, but he felt strangely cold.


    when the carriage stopped, xie chengze got out of the carriage and walked into the house. within a few steps, sheng yuan came out: ¡°godfather, something came from the south.¡±


    ¡°what?¡± xie chengze was stunned.


    sheng yuan said: ¡°some people came from the south this morning and brought several carts of things. they said they were prepared by young master yan¡­godfather, young master yan prepared gifts for you as soon as he arrived there.¡±


    when lu yanzhou was in the capital, although not many people have met him, but many people know him, so they all know his name is lu yanzhou.


    this time lu yanzhou went to jiangnan. in order not to be discovered, he gave himself the pseudonym yan hang.


    when he left, he did tell xie chengze that he would send a message to xie chengze as soon as he reached there, but xie chengze didn¡¯t take it seriously at all.


    as a result¡­lu yanzhou really send something?


    lu yanzhou really sent something, and he sent a lot too. there were various gadgets he bought along the way, as well as specialties from their stronghold in jiangnan. there were several cartloads of them.


    they even included a lot of sun-dried sea fish, which gave off a strong fishy smell¡­


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± lu yanzhou shouldn¡¯t be trying to smoke him to death, right?


    however, although he felt that the sea fish smell was strong, xie chengze¡¯s mood, which had been gloomy for many days, still cleared up.


    he looked at these things with a smile and asked people to put them into the warehouse.


    ¡°godfather, there are many letters here.¡± sheng yuan handed over another box.


    in addition to sending things, lu yanzhou actually wrote him a letter?


    xie chengze was in a better mood and took the wooden box cherishingly.


    although he told himself that he should forget about lu yanzhou, he couldn¡¯t help but think about this person¡­if lu yanzhou was willing to write to him, he would think more of him.


    even if there were only a few words in the letter, he could still lie to himself that lu yanzhou had him in his heart.


    the wooden box was a bit heavy. xie chengze felt that the quality of the wooden box should be good, but when he opened the box¡­


    well, it wasn¡¯t that the wooden box was a bit heavy, but that the box was too full.


    just a few words or what not, it doesn¡¯t exist at all.


    the box was filled with dated letters, each with the words ¡®my beloved person only.¡¯


    xie chengze took a look, coughed slightly, then returned to the room holding the box.


    he didn¡¯t have any dumplings to eat that night, but he read the letters all night.


    lu yanzhou would write a paragraph to him every day. after a few days, he wrote a lot of words, and then he compiled it into a letter.


    xie chengze has read other people¡¯s letters home, which contain only a few sentences describing their current situation, but lu yanzhou¡¯s letter is different.


    this letter was written wherever he thought of him with miscellaneous and bold words. he often wrote that he missed him very much.


    how is this a letter to home, it¡¯s just an amorous song!


    there is also a crooked poem written by lu yanzhou, the meaning is that he misses him very much¡­well, the writing is not bad.


    xie chengze read all the letters carefully.


    after reading it, he found a letter from xie jia underneath.


    jia, yi, bing, and ding were originally his people, but lu yanzhou was very kind to these four people, teaching them how to read and practice martial arts.


    as time went by, jia, yi, bing, and ding became a little biased towards lu yanzhou.


    after realizing this, xie chengze stopped asking jia, yi, bing, and ding about lu yanzhou¡¯s news and arranged for someone else to keep an eye on lu yanzhou.


    this time when lu yanzhou went to jiangnan, he also took jia, yi, bing, and ding with him, which was also within his expectation. before jia, yi, bing, and ding left, he talked to these four people and told them that their future master would be lu yanzhou and they no longer had to report to him anymore.


    in this case, why did xie jia write back?


    xie chengze opened xie jia¡¯s letter and saw that it contained a brief description of their journey together. at the end, he said: ¡°young master has kept a clean life and never looked at others too much.¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± how could xie jia write this? does lu yanzhou know the content of the letter he wrote?


    was this lu yanzhou¡¯s instruction, or was xie jia making his own decision?


    did xie jia not understand what he meant? he asked xie jia and the others to treat lu yanzhou as their master, he was basically telling them not to contact him again!


    now this¡­this¡­


    xie chengze knew that lu yanzhou contacted him because he was probably still useful. lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want to completely sever ties with him


    besides, he was also willing to take these letters seriously.


    xie chengze turned out the letter and started reading it again. he didn¡¯t even miss the ink spots on it.


    xie jia and the others actually figured out what xie chengze meant and had no intention of writing to xie chengze.


    that letter was written because of lu yanzhou.


    at that time, lu yanzhou planned to send something and send a letter, so he asked them if they had written a letter. he heard that they had not written. lu yanzhou accused them of neglecting their duties on the spot, and then forced them to write a letter, and asked them to write clearly in the letter, saying that lu yanzhou was a clean man.


    xie jia and others: ¡°¡­¡±


    they didn¡¯t know anything about lu yanzhou and young lady wang. they only knew that lu yanzhou was taken home by xie chengze.


    although they thought xie chengze was very kind, they also felt that lu yanzhou, a grown man, would be a little unwilling to be forced to ¡®serve¡¯ a eunuch.


    they were very unhappy when they left the capital. although they liked lu yanzhou, who was very kind to them, xie chengze was the one who actually saved them, so they had planned to be loyal to him for the rest of their lives.


    from now on, xie chengze will no longer be their master, and they will probably never see xie chengze again¡­they feel very sad.


    they even agreed privately that they would never do anything to harm xie chengze in the future no matter what!


    as a result¡­things were different from what they thought.


    they thought there may be resentment, lu yanzhou may show them his dissatisfaction with xie chengze after leaving the capital. however, lu yanzhou¡¯s words have always been missing xie chengze. as long as the meal they ate tasted a little delicious, he would begin to think of wanting to give it to ¡®aze¡¯.


    they were in a hurry and tired on their way, but lu yanzhou still didn¡¯t forget to buy a gift for xie chengze.


    when delivering things and letters, lu yanzhou took out a pile of letters, which shocked them even more.


    apart from this¡­lu yanzhou actually asked them to write such a letter¡­is this lu yanzhou using their letters to express his loyalty?


    so they thought wrong before. lu yanzhou and xie chengze were actually in love? their love is also quite deep too?


    after jia, yi, bing, and ding were stunned, they were in a good mood.


    at this time, lu yanzhou did not forget to tell them: ¡°you are xie chengze¡¯s subordinates. you must not forget what xie chengze told you¡­in the future, if someone approaches me, you must stand up in time and say that i have a family and help me refuse. when you see that there are people with intentions around me, you should also remind me in time¡­¡±


    this is what xie chengze used to do to everyone he arranged around him.


    lu yanzhou felt that jia, yi, bing, and ding were a bit slow and unreliable, so he could only teach them in person.


    jia, yi, bing, and ding: ¡°¡­¡± xie chengze actually didn¡¯t say anything to them¡­but since lu yanzhou said so, let¡¯s do it then!


    t/n: when one was so used to their wifey¡¯s jealousy lol (???)

 CH 162

    on new year¡¯s eve, while xie chengze was reading the letters, thinking about lu yanzhou, lu yanzhou was also thinking about xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou, who went by the pseudonym yan hang, was in no hurry to move around after arriving in jiangnan. first, it was the new year, and second¡­his beard hasn¡¯t grown long yet.


    when lu yanzhou was in the capital, he spent most of his time at xie chengze¡¯s manor and rarely appeared in front of people, but some people still knew him.


    in order to avoid being recognized, he planned from the beginning to wait until his beard grew longer before appearing in front of others.


    his beard grows very quickly, but it will take some time to grow. recently, lu yanzhou has found other things to do, such as refining weapons.


    however, on new year¡¯s eve, he didn¡¯t do anything. instead, he gathered jia, yi, bing, ding and other people that came to jiangnan with him, and then they all had a meal together to celebrate the new year.


    ¡°i don¡¯t know if aze has received the things i sent or if he was thinking about me.¡± lu yanzhou sighed.


    jia, yi, bing, and ding are not very young, therefore lu yanzhou treats them as children and teaches them. they have a good relationship with lu yanzhou.


    they recently realized that lu yanzhou and xie chengze have a very good relationship, so they are even closer to lu yanzhou: ¡°don¡¯t worry, young master yan, master must be thinking of you!¡±


    they didn¡¯t know what to call xie chengze before, after all, if they were not careful, xie chengze could easily be discovered. after thinking about it a lot¡­they simply asked lu yanzhou what to call him.


    lu yanzhou did not hesitate: ¡°isn¡¯t he master? just call him master.¡±


    therefore, jia, yi, bing, ding and everyone else also called him that, although their current master was actually lu yanzhou.


    at this moment, everyone said one after another: ¡°young master yan, master must miss you very much.¡±


    ¡°master likes you the most.¡±


    ¡°master has never liked anyone else!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°it¡¯s true, he only likes me, so he must be thinking about me.¡± lu yanzhou agreed with their words.


    it¡¯s impossible for xie chengze to like anyone else except him!


    jia, yi, bing, ding and the others also nodded in agreement. xie gonggong always has an expressionless face when facing others but he has always spoken softly, was gentle and considerate, and was affectionate to lu yanzhou. he must have loved lu yanzhou very much.


    although they like women and don¡¯t quite understand how two men can be together, young master lu and their master are really an enviable couple!


    lu yanzhou reminded them again: ¡°remember to write a letter and tell him that i have been thinking about him.¡±


    everyone immediately agreed to put in good words for lu yanzhou so their master will not forget lu yanzhou!


    the atmosphere was very lively, but lu yanzhou and the others actually didn¡¯t eat well.


    dayan¡¯s demise is related to the fact that influential families and the imperial family have been enclosing land, causing the people to be displaced. climate change and natural disasters in recent years is also another cause.


    if there¡¯s no natural disasters, dayan would have been able to survive for a few more years, but now natural disasters are so severe that many places have experienced food shortages. the price of food is not cheap, and the price of meat is even more expensive.


    lu yanzhou and the others celebrated the new year in a careless manner.


    by the time the new year was over, lu yanzhou¡¯s beard had grown out, and he even deliberately tanned himself a little. coupled with a completely different dressing style¡­he had transformed from a handsome young man to a tall muscular bearded man.


    looking at himself in the mirror, lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but say to xie jia: ¡°if aze sees me like this, will he dislike me?¡±


    xie jia has long been used to being asked this question, so he also knows how to answer: ¡°no, master likes you the most!¡±


    lu yanzhou was really satisfied with the answer, so he added: ¡°he likes me now, but if i was like this when we first met, he would definitely not take me home!¡±


    xie jia: ¡°¡­¡± he couldn¡¯t answer this, and he felt¡­this was true.


    it was impossible for xie gonggong to snatch a bearded man he saw on the road home.


    during this lean year, many people starved to death.


    some people are used to being enslaved and bear all the suffering silently, but there are also people who are ready to fight when they face death.


    but how can these people defeat the fat and strong guards raised by the big family? they couldn¡¯t rob the granary of influential families at all. these scrawny gangsters ended up robbing tenant farmers or peasants who were struggling at the bottom like them.


    the farmers who were robbed would not be able to survive either.


    some people who robbed even went too far. they not only robbed food, but also burned houses and killed people, leaving many people homeless.


    displaced people will become bandits when they are desperate. this is a vicious cycle.


    what¡¯s even more frightening is that when the weak can¡¯t survive, they will bully the weaker people. at this moment, women and children can hardly even survive.


    lu yanzhou did not wait any longer. he took hundreds of trained soldiers and began to fight against bandits and thieves.


    kill the evildoers, organize the remaining people into an army, while the old, weak, sick and disabled are allowed to farm¡­with sophisticated weapons and disciplined men, lu yanzhou quickly occupied an area.


    at this time, people in other places had already conquered large areas of the country.


    lu yanzhou was not in a hurry. he worked hard to manage his territory and divide the land among local tycoons. he did not ask for anything else but to keep more people alive.


    in addition, he also gathered children and teenagers from the areas he occupied.


    lu yanzhou asked people to teach them to recognize simple characters and learn arabic numerals. he will definitely need many officials in the future, so he should start training them now.


    what these people learn was decided by lu yanzhou long ago. the textbooks were written by him when he was in the capital and can be used directly now.


    in order to quickly popularize knowledge, lu yanzhou also promoted sentence reading and improved papermaking and printing.


    while he was busy, lu yanzhou also kept contact with xie chengze.


    it¡¯s just that in these troubled times, he doesn¡¯t send things very much. he only lets people send letters, and he only dares to write some romantic things in the letters. he doesn¡¯t dare write any secrets.


    occasionally, if there are confidential letters or important things to be sent, then a special person would be arranged to send it.


    the same goes for xie chengze. every time he receives a letter from lu yanzhou, he will ask the sender to bring a reply letter to lu yanzhou. the letter he writes is not long and does not involve any confidentiality.


    however, from time to time, xie chengze would arrange for people to send lu yanzhou some supplies that lu yanzhou was short of, such as iron.


    at this point, it must be said that xie chengze is a man of great power. he can always get what lu yanzhou needs without anyone noticing or exposing himself at all.


    sometimes those who help deliver supplies don¡¯t even know who asked them to deliver so many supplies.


    lu yanzhou has knowledge reserves that far exceeds ordinary people and he also has xie chengze¡¯s secret support. although the territory he occupies is not large, it¡¯s developing well and steadily. the fields in the area he occupies are not abandoned and are all planted.


    however, in the eyes of the officials in the imperial court, he did not have many people under his command, nor did he expand wildly. he was a non-threatening person, so no one cared about him.


    their armies are dealing with those who make the most trouble.


    lu yanzhou quietly developed like this.


    time flies very fast, a year has passed in the blink of an eye. this year, the grain harvests in various places are still not very good. however, the area lu yanzhou occupied, the harvest is not bad because he pays special attention to them.


    at this time, in the capital, xie chengze¡¯s power was growing.


    war broke out frequently in various places. the influential families felt that it was the emperor¡¯s fault, while the emperor felt that it was all the influential family¡¯s fault. the conflicts between the two sides became more and more serious, and xie chengze benefited from it.


    at the end of the year, the palace will always hold a banquet, and today there is another palace banquet.


    this year, there were many more people attending the banquet than usual ¨C there was chaos in some places, and the nobles there fled to the capital, filling the already crowded capital.


    these people kept clamoring for the emperor to send troops to regain the lost territory, but sending troops to fight would cost a lot of money, so the emperor was naturally not happy.


    in the afternoon, carriages were already crowded at the entrance to the palace.


    countless people got off the carriage, slowly entered the palace, and then found their seats and sat down as arranged.


    some of these people often come to the palace, but some are here for the first time. at this time, a young man who had just arrived in the capital and was entering the palace for the first time was talking to the people around him: ¡°the capital is really different. there¡¯s a lot of things that i have never heard of before but it¡¯s extremely prosperous.¡±


    ¡°indeed,¡± the person next to him said, ¡°there is a lot more delicious food in the capital recently.¡±


    ¡°what a pity, the imperial court is controlled by that wicked eunuch!¡±


    ¡°that thief xie is really hateful, he acts arrogantly and doesn¡¯t take us seriously at all!¡±


    the two of them were discussing when they saw a man in dark red clothes with a peerless appearance slowly coming in from the door.


    after he came in, the entire banquet was silent for a moment, then he glanced around and raised the corners of his mouth. the smile strangely gave people the feeling that he¡¯s looking down on the world.


    the young man who entered the palace for the first time even stopped breathing, his heart was beating fast, he couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°who is this beauty?¡±


    the person who was chatting with him inhaled sharply, calming down: ¡°he is xie chengze.¡±


    that xie chengze, who everyone shouted to beat, actually looks like this? this young man, who had just arrived in the capital not long ago, was stunned.


    xie chengze was relatively low-key a year ago and had a good temper, but this year¡­he suddenly became overt and his temper was even more volatile.


    in response to this, officials in the capital not only cursed but also gloated.


    xie chengze has done too many bad things and will be punished! now, his man is dead!


    it¡¯s just¡­without that lu yanzhou, xie chengze is even more difficult to deal with!


    xie chengze, who was considered more difficult to deal with, was actually in a good mood. not long ago, lu yanzhou sent him many things, including sugar.


    then, he sold the sugar to his majesty at a good price.


    he planned to exchange the money for supplies and send them to lu yanzhou in a few days.


    a year has passed, and he now feels that lu yanzhou may really be able to change this dynasty¡­which is good.


    it¡¯s a pity that more and more people are getting in the way in this capital.


    he will raise them for a while, when the time is right, he will kill all those who deserve to be killed.


    at this palace banquet, sugar appeared.


    the sweet and sour pork ribs and pastries made with white sugar amazed everyone. white sugar surpassed vegetable oil and instantly became the most popular thing in the capital.


    no matter how hard life is for the common people, people from influential families will still spend a lot of money for a jar of sugar.


    lu yanzhou made the sugar, but after he made the sugar, he didn¡¯t keep any of it and sent it all to the capital.


    first, he can¡¯t let people know that he made it, and second¡­what he needs is food, not such ¡®luxury goods¡¯.


    ¡°i wonder how aze is doing in the capital, did he lose weight.¡± lu yanzhou celebrated the new year with jia, yi, bing, and ding as usual.


    xie jia said: ¡°he shouldn¡¯t lose weight.¡± there must be no shortage of meat in the capital, but it¡¯s different here.


    they usually don¡¯t have much meat to eat, but there is no shortage of fish.


    lu yanzhou knew a lot of things. he improved his boats, occupied an estuary and recruited some fishermen, so they could fish in the sea.


    lu yanzhou sighed again at this time: ¡°i¡¯m exposed to the sun and rain every day, so i¡¯m getting rougher. i don¡¯t know if aze will dislike me when we meet again.¡±


    xie jia: ¡°¡­¡± answering the same question too many times, he doesn¡¯t want to answer anymore.


    jia, yi, bing and ding all tilted their heads and fell asleep.


    they have started to expand recently and have been really busy and haven¡¯t had a good rest for a long time.


    lu yanzhou ate all the uneaten food, tilted his head and fell asleep.


    in the first year, lu yanzhou was inconspicuous, but as time went by, he became more and more eye-catching.


    within dayan, many people who rebelled were no different from bandits. they burned, killed, and looted before disappearing.


    some of the people who rebelled were quite capable, but after several battles, there were victories and defeats.


    as for lu yanzhou, either he doesn¡¯t fight, or if he fights, he will definitely win.


    the lives of the people in the areas he occupied were far better than elsewhere!


    in the end, there was a scene where people rushed to welcome lu yanzhou¡¯s army wherever they went.


    in the blink of an eye, another four years have passed.


    dayan is still there, but the defeat is obvious. apart from dayan, there are two other most powerful forces.


    one of the forces is the force of the new emperor who entered the capital in the original historical trajectory. this man¡¯s surname was sun, and his name was sun chongshao. he was born in a scholar family but it was a small family. he also had to bear a lot of suffering when he was young, then his family later suffered misfortune. after that, he became ruthless and rose up, and now he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.


    as for the other force¡­it¡¯s the force led by lu yanzhou.


    both sides were equally powerful and were in a stalemate.


    in the capital, wang family, wang tingyun is discussing with his clan members.


    the influential families have begun to consider their options, and some families have already chosen who to join.


    ¡°many people have already taken refuge with sun chongshao. if our wang family goes there at this time, we will definitely have to lower our heads when the time comes!¡±


    ¡°there are not many people on yan hang¡¯s side, but it was rumored that yan hang was born in poverty and disliked officials and influential families the most. most of his officials come from humble backgrounds, there are even ordinary people. if we go to find him, we will definitely be liquidated first.¡±


    ¡°the son of the zhou family has defected to yan hang, and is now working with a bunch of idiots!


    ¡­


    everyone was talking about it, then wang tingyun said: ¡°who do you think will win?¡±


    everyone looked at each other, and finally said: ¡°now the two sides are equally powerful. although yan hang has even fewer soldiers, yan hang has won the hearts of the people¡­since ancient times, he who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world.¡±


    ¡°yan hang has strong soldiers and horses with strict military discipline. even if he cannot win at the moment, as long as he lives, he will win.¡±


    ¡°yan hang loves people like his own child¡­previously, when sun chongshao¡¯s soldiers encountered his soldiers, they directly surrendered to the enemy.¡±


    ¡­


    whether it was wang tingyun or other members of the wang family, they were more optimistic about yan hang.


    however, yan hang has always treated everyone equally, and one must act in accordance with his rules when a past influential family joins them. some families surrendered and couldn¡¯t keep their fields. they could only keep their gold and silver property, and they would never be forgiven if they committed any crimes.


    they are also cautious about taking refuge in yan hang.


    wang tingyun continue: ¡°if we join sun chongshao, do we have the ability to make sun chongshao defeat yan hang?¡±


    everyone thought for a long moment, then finally said: ¡°i¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not possible.¡±


    wang tingyun said: ¡°in that case, it¡¯s better for us to make a decision early and go find yan hang.¡±


    an old man from the wang family hesitated: ¡°why not wait?¡±


    ¡°we have been waiting for a long time, and if we wait any longer, it will be in vain,¡± wang tingyun said, ¡°what¡¯s more¡­the capital is also going to be in chaos.¡±


    wang tingyun knew his nephew very well. ever since the world was in chaos, his nephew¡¯s behavior had become more and more extreme.


    xie chengze¡­wants to destroy this dayan.


    if they don¡¯t leave, they might be buried with dayan!


    the wang family finally made the decision to take refuge with yan hang.


    xie chengze heard about this very quickly. after hearing about it, his face turned dark.


    the wang family is going to seek refuge with lu yanzhou, what will lu yanzhou do?


    however, it¡¯s impossible for him to stop them, and he couldn¡¯t stop them.


    now he is dispensable to lu yanzhou.


    when the capital was destroyed, it was time for him to die.

 CH 163

    wang tingyun was always decisive in doing things. he left behind a lot of belongings and secretly left the capital with the wang clan members to join yan hang.


    this matter was soon discovered by the emperor. he immediately cursed the wang family, thinking that those influential families were just useless people and no one was a good person.


    seeing many influential families fleeing, the emperor relied more and more on xie chengze¡­


    then, half a month later, the wang family¡¯s large army finally entered the area occupied by yan hang.


    wang tingyun¡¯s eldest son wang pinghou had just turned thirty with a beard. along the way, he had been riding in a carriage with wang tingyun and accepted wang tingyun¡¯s teachings.


    they opened the curtains on the carriage windows and were looking around at this moment.


    this place was occupied by lu yanzhou a few months ago. if it were anywhere else, a place that was still experiencing war a few months ago would be in dilapidated condition, but this place is different. the people here are already preparing for spring plowing.


    they were all very thin and must have been born in poverty. wang pinghou had seen many such people. their eyes were numb, but these people¡¯s eyes were full of hope.


    after yan hang occupied a place, the first thing he did every time was to divide the land.


    ordinary people are really easy to satisfy. no matter how much suffering they have experienced, as long as they have land, they will feel at ease.


    ¡°what did you see?¡± wang tingyun asked.


    wang pinghou sighed: ¡°that yan hang is not simple.¡±


    wang tingyun said: ¡°you know why i chose him now, right?¡±


    wang pinghou sighed: ¡°father, you made the right choice.¡±


    when they were in the capital, they heard many rumors related to yan hang, such as yan hang taking the lead, loving the people like his child, and the people living a happy life under his rule.


    however, they didn¡¯t pay much attention to it at the time, and even thought it was an exaggeration.


    but now, they somewhat believe it.


    it only took a few months for yan hang to conquer this place, but he had already conquered the people here. as long as yan hang works steadily, he will be able to run this place with iron-clad hands.


    as for the possibility of fighting with sun chongshao¡­ yan hang is very good at leading troops in battles, and his soldiers are very well equipped. if sun chongshao really confronts yan hang, he may not necessarily be able to defeat yan hang.


    ¡°master, not far ahead is the county seat.¡± someone came to report to wang tingyun.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°let¡¯s enter the city quickly and find a place to rest.¡± they had not had a good rest for a long time and urgently needed to rest.


    but after wang tingyun finished speaking, he quickly said: ¡°wait a minute, arrange for someone to go into the city first to see if there is a place for us to stay.¡±


    their group is only the vanguard of the wang family, but including the servants, there are still 200 people. in this small county that has just experienced war, there may not necessarily be room for them to stay.


    ¡°yes, patriarch!¡± the person who reported took the order.


    wang tingyun walked forward while looking at the surrounding scene.


    ever since he came to yan hang¡¯s territory, the road has been smoother, so he was wondering what the scene will be like in that county.


    the county seat arrived quickly. when they entered the county seat after undergoing inspection, they were stunned when they saw the scene in the county seat.


    the appearance of this county is far beyond their imagination.


    this is a very beautiful town. the roads are wide and white with bright red brick houses built on the roadside.


    the people here are in good spirits. they are jogging about and doing their own business with their faces full of hope.


    the wang family was stunned for a long while. after asking locals, they found out that the county town was originally occupied by several forces. nine out of ten houses were empty, and all the houses in the city were destroyed. the current scene was all the result of yan hang¡¯s construction team.


    ¡°they got a lot of cement, this road is also cement! as for the bricks used to build houses, they were made in brick factories outside the town. aren¡¯t they a beautiful red?¡± the locals talk about the city filled with pride.


    at this time, the wang family, who had entered the town first, had already found a place for them to live. there were very few people in the county, so there were many vacant houses.


    the wang family was looking for a place to settle down, and then they realized that yan hang¡¯s army was stationed not far away, and yan hang himself was also in the army.


    the county was quickly stabilized because of yan hang and his soldiers.


    yan hang gave one-half of the land to the people to cultivate, then he took his soldiers to cultivate the vacant land.


    the wang family inquired about the news and got together to talk again that night.


    in front of them, there were two books spread out.


    one of these two books is called ¡®literature and language¡¯ and the other is called ¡®mathematics¡¯. the contents are easy to understand. in addition to the words, there are also pictures¡­they can understand them almost at a glance.


    ¡°as long as one studies this ¡®mathematics¡¯ book seriously, they can be an accountant! the numbers and accounting methods taught in it are very useful!¡±


    ¡°the lessons in this ¡®literature and language¡¯ book are catchy, simple and vivid, with added sentence readings, so it was more suitable for children than our wang family¡¯s ¡®wang clan¡¯s early studies¡¯!¡±


    ¡°i thought yan hang was a rough guy, but i was wrong!¡±


    ¡°yan hang used to live in jiangnan before, so we didn¡¯t know much about him. we are really careless!¡±


    ¡°this yan hang is not only a good leader, but also good at handling internal affairs!¡±


    ¡­


    at this time, the wang family started admiring yan hang.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°yan hang is a man of great talent and strategy, so it will be difficult for us to gain his respect.¡±


    the influential families are all proud, after all, they have mastered things that ordinary people cannot learn.


    when they came to join yan hang, they felt that they would be able to help yan hang.


    however, now it seems that yan hang doesn¡¯t need them.


    no wonder, sun chongshao is very polite to the influential family, but yan hang has always been very cold towards the influential family.


    the wang family members all thought the same as wang tingyun, so they couldn¡¯t help but frown. suddenly, one of them said: ¡°our wang family women are able and virtuous, many people seek to marry them¡­¡±


    for influential families, marriage is a common method to use.


    sun chongshao had already married several daughters from other influential families, all of whom were daughters of those families who had taken refuge with him.


    and their wang family also has no shortage of daughters.


    however, wang tingyun refused: ¡°i¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work.¡±


    ¡°why?¡± everyone was puzzled.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°i¡¯ve inquired about it and it was said that yan hang already has a partner. he loved that person so much that he never looked at other women! many people have given him women over the years but he has never accepted any one of them.¡±


    ¡°how can those people compare to our wang family¡¯s daughter?¡± someone said proudly. the daughters of the wang family are well-educated in poetry and books, they are also proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting!


    wang tingyun became thoughtful.


    in the past, the wang family was not enthusiastic about sending their daughter to the palace.


    however, a founding emperor like yan hang is different from the emperor who is currently on the throne.


    they have already sent invitations to see yan hang, they can test it out then.


    lu yanzhou just received the greeting card from the wang family at this moment.


    his beard is very long now, and he deliberately doesn¡¯t trim it, so it has covered most of his face.


    he felt that he was already not very good-looking, so those who approached him did not look at his appearance but his strength!


    therefore, people kept gifting one after another!


    now that the wang family is here, it might happen again¡­


    lu yanzhou looked at xie jia beside him: ¡°i will summon the wang family tomorrow. you should know what to do.¡±


    jia, yi, bing, and ding are now able to take charge on their own, so beside him are only xie jia now. he has sent the other three somewhere else.


    xie jia is now also a general who can lead troops in battle, but he usually serves as his deputy.


    xie jia said: ¡°don¡¯t worry, young master, i will definitely get things done.¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i believe you! by the way, after tomorrow, you must write a letter and send it to the capital.¡±


    ¡°i accept the order!¡± said xie jia.


    lu yanzhou allowed him to leave with satisfaction.


    when xie jia came outside, someone immediately asked xie jia: ¡°general jia, why did the lord come to see you so late at night?¡±


    ¡°young master has something important for me to do,¡± xie jia said.


    ¡°what is it?¡± the man was curious.


    xie jia said: ¡°this is not what you should know!¡± he needed to help lu yanzhou block all those peach blossoms, and he also had to write a letter and send it to the capital to help lu yanzhou show his loyalty!


    these things are not something that just anyone can know.


    hearing this, the man did not dare to ask more questions and said something else: ¡°general jia, many people have come to seek refuge with the lord recently, and they have also brought many beauties. do you think the lord will accept them?¡±


    xie jia said: ¡°no!¡±


    ¡°general jia, what exactly does the lord¡¯s wife look like? how could she make the lord never look at anyone else?¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s men all know that lu yanzhou has a partner, but they don¡¯t know who that person is. they only knew that the old people around lu yanzhou called the lady ¡®master¡¯, but lu yanzhou was not angry at all.


    xie jia said: ¡°my master is a heavenly beauty who descends from the heavens.¡±


    ¡°no wonder!¡± the man looked fascinated.


    xie jia glanced at this man guiltily, then hurried back to his quarter.


    his master¡¯s appearance is not bad, but¡­he is actually a man, and his status is not ordinary either.


    he only hopes that these people will be a little calm when they see real person in the future.

 CH 164

    lu yanzhou actually has no interest in accepting the support of those influential families, except those whose whole family has been separated.


    for influential families, the most important thing is the family, not the country. if there are too many such families in the regime, they will all seek their own benefits, which will easily make the regime split.


    however, the wang family has a good reputation, and the original owner had abducted a wang family¡¯s young lady before¡­lu yanzhou decided to accept the wang family.


    lu yanzhou met wang tingyun, wang pinghou, his son, and several other wang family members in the military camp.


    lu yanzhou knew that some people in this world were very good at recognizing others. in modern times, some police officers can catch wanted criminals after seeing their photos.


    he had met wang tingyun before. he was afraid of being recognized by wang tingyun, so he deliberately messed up his hair and beard when meeting them. as for other things¡­when he appears in front of people as yan hang, he uses a jiangnan accent and temperament is also completely different from before, so wang tingyun probably wouldn¡¯t recognize him.


    lu yanzhou appeared in front of the wang family with his head all full of messy hair, which made the wang family, who have the word ¡®exquisite¡¯ written all over them, a little uncomfortable.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t say much to them, he went straight to the point and told them what they can do here.


    he welcomed the arrival of the wang family, but the vast land that the wang family owns right now certainly would not continue to be owned by the wang family. as for the gold, silver, and jewelry owned by the wang family, they could have it.


    he wouldn¡¯t go that far.


    in addition, if the wang family wants to be an official here, they must not only pass the corresponding assessment, but also avoid each other and disperse to different places to avoid the situation where most of the officials in one of his systems are wang family members.


    the wang family was a little reluctant, but they agreed in the end and even offered to donate a large amount of food and many belongings to lu yanzhou.


    this is a very large amount of money! food is extremely important to lu yanzhou.


    this was something lu yanzhou didn¡¯t expect. he immediately said that he would host a banquet for the wang family to express his gratitude.


    if someone gives him so much money, he certainly can¡¯t just throw them away after meeting them.


    ¡°thank you so much, general yan!¡± wang tingyun bowed and thanked him, then said that he had brought a lot of fresh food and chefs from the capital, which he could also give to lu yanzhou and he could also ask them to help prepare the banquet.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± which of the fresh food in the capital was not made by him?


    before he left the capital, he had come up with many fresh dishes. after leaving the capital, he went to sell sugar in the capital. last year, he also produced msg¡­


    but if the wang family wants to give it away, just give it away!


    the banquet that night was quite grand. as for the venue, it was a red brick house built by lu yanzhou.


    red bricks are not as durable as blue bricks, but they are easier to bake than green bricks. lu yanzhou developed them in order to help people build houses in a short time. in his opinion, unpainted red-brick houses are too crude.


    in the past, in rural areas, people who had no money would also build a house without painting it!


    however, he thinks so, but people in this era don¡¯t think so. they all think the red brick house is beautiful, they even think it doesn¡¯t need to be painted.


    alright¡­so be it.


    at most, he would be a little uncomfortable seeing people writing poems praising the brick house he had people build.


    for example, right now, the dozens of wang family members who came to the banquet kept praising the red brick house with polite words, so lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know how to answer the question.


    the wang family didn¡¯t know what lu yanzhou was thinking. seeing that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t speak, they felt that although yan hang was capable, he probably hadn¡¯t read many books.


    it¡¯s even possible that yan hang doesn¡¯t understand what they say.


    wang tingyun was considerate and said no more, but some of the wang family members he brought with him also despised lu yanzhou, feeling that he was just a crude man and not worthy of the wang family¡¯s support.


    they thought so in their hearts, so they naturally also showed it a little on their face, then one dish after another was served.


    lu yanzhou took a look and found that almost all of the dishes were the dishes he had written for xie chengze.


    the dishes he wrote down for xie chengze were all dishes that had been passed down for thousands of years. they tasted very good and were naturally popular.


    when the wang family saw the dishes being served, they were ready to watch lu yanzhou become astonished after eating these dishes.


    as far as they knew, although there were some children from influential families on lu yanzhou¡¯s side, none came from the capital. these dishes were only known to the big families in the capital, and the ingredients were even more difficult to buy. lu yanzhou must had never tasted them before.


    as a result, lu yanzhou¡¯s expression was calm while he was eating, and the cronies around him were not surprised and actually reacted indifferently. only a few generals who accompanied lu yanzhou and had not been with lu yanzhou for a long time could not stop eating.


    seeing this, wang tingyun felt more and more that lu yanzhou was a wealthy man, but some members of the wang family felt that lu yanzhou was just pretending.


    halfway through the meal, an old man from the wang family tentatively suggested: ¡°i heard that general yan only has one wife and she is also away? i have a granddaughter who is able and virtuous¡­¡±


    ¡°young master, master has said that if you dare to mess around outside, he will definitely punish you with the family law!¡± xie jia said at the right time.


    lu yanzhou laughed loudly when he heard this, then said to the man: ¡°sir wang, you have also seen¡­oh! i don¡¯t want to be dealt with by the family law.¡±


    lu yanzhou often rejects people like this, but unfortunately most people will not let it go.


    the old man surnamed wang said: ¡°general yan, my granddaughter, the wang family, has read poetry and books since she was a child¡­¡±


    ¡°i don¡¯t like poetry and books.¡± lu yanzhou said seriously.


    ¡°when general ascends to the supreme position in the future, he should have a virtuous wife¡­¡± the old man surnamed wang said again.


    when wang tingyun heard this, he frowned. his uncle not only wanted to marry his granddaughter to yan hang, but¡­he was also thinking about the future throne?


    avaricious and insatiable like the snake trying to swallow the elephant! wang tingyun immediately stopped the man: ¡°second uncle, be careful of what you say.¡±


    lu yanzhou was also a little unhappy. if the original owner hadn¡¯t wronged the wang family and wang tingyun had reacted quickly enough, he would have attacked.


    however, at this time, a young man from the wang family said: ¡°what you meant to say is you don¡¯t like poetry and books, or you just don¡¯t know about it?¡±


    this young man¡¯s name is wang pingxian, the son of wang tingyun¡¯s younger brother.


    after wang tingyun¡¯s younger brother had his eldest son, he found that the eldest son had physical defects and threw him away. it took several years before his second son, wang pingxian, was born.


    the couple loved wang pingxian very much, which made wang pingxian a little lawless.


    wang tingyun was extremely angry when he heard what his nephew said.


    they came to seek refuge, but as a result, the elders in the clan were always held in high esteem and could not let go of their arrogance. even though they knew that he loved his partner, he still insisted on giving him his granddaughter.


    what about the young people in the clan? he couldn¡¯t clearly see the situation, he actually satirized him directly!


    no matter how arrogant and rough yan hang looks, he is not someone the wang family can offend!


    wang tingyun immediately apologized: ¡°my nephew is reckless, please forgive me, general yan.¡±


    ¡°no problem.¡± lu yanzhou smiled, ¡°although i don¡¯t like poetry and books, i still took the time to learn some¡­this young master wang, would you like to compete?¡±


    lu yanzhou finally figured out that the wang family was used to being aloof and arrogant, so even though they came to seek refuge with him, they still ¡®can¡¯t lower themselves and act humbly¡¯.


    he originally didn¡¯t want to argue because wang tingyun was sincere and gave him a lot of things, but now¡­these people don¡¯t find him convincing. if he were to use these people in the future, it may be troublesome.


    they might even cause trouble!


    wang pingxian immediately said: ¡°let¡¯s compete!¡±


    wang pingxian was one of the four young masters in the capital that everyone respected. he was very confident in his knowledge, so he was not happy having to work for a crude man like lu yanzhou in the future.


    he wanted lu yanzhou to know how powerful the wang family was!


    lu yanzhou should have taken them seriously, he should have treated them with more courtesy!


    then¡­wang pingxian was crushed by lu yanzhou.


    not only wang pingxian, but also other members of the wang family who jumped out to compete with lu yanzhou were all crushed.


    lu yanzhou once passed the imperial examination hundreds of years later, combined with his ability to never forget things, and he had also lived for so many years. how could these people compare?


    after writing another poem, lu yanzhou looked at wang pingxian who was already wilting and said, ¡°i only know a little bit about poetry and calligraphy, but young master wang seems to be inferior to me?¡±


    don¡¯t say that wang pingxian is inferior to him. well, wang tingyun and the rest of the wang family are not even as good as him.


    the wang family was stunned. the yan hang in front of them was completely different from the yan hang they imagined!


    he is actually extremely talented and knowledgeable!


    lu yanzhou added at this time: ¡°in these dishes, the sweet and sour fish is too deep-fried and there is a little less sugar; the ingredients in the salt and pepper pork ribs are not authentic; the chicken should be drizzled with sesame oil¡­¡±


    after commenting on the dishes on the table, lu yanzhou turned around and left.


    wang family: ¡°¡­¡±


    they thought these dishes would shock yan hang and the others, but in the end¡­yan hang seemed to know better than them?


    everyone looked at xie jia, who had not yet left. on lu yanzhou¡¯s side, a general who had joined lu yanzhou not long ago couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°general jia, have you eaten these before?¡±


    xie jia was taking his time to eat.


    hearing this, xie jia had an enigmatic look on his face: ¡°i¡¯ve tried it before.¡± after lu yanzhou came up with a dish, he always tried it several times, so he tasted it often!


    well, lu yanzhou¡¯s cooking skills are much better than those wang family¡¯ chefs!


    everyone increasingly felt that yan hang was unfathomable, and the wang family even had a terrifying guess ¨C was yan hang born in a wealthy family?


    no matter what, the wang family has completely calmed down this time. they will do whatever they were told, then lu yanzhou wrote another letter of confession and had it sent to the capital.


    it won¡¯t be long before he and xie chengze can meet each other.


    just as lu yanzhou thought of this, news came from the capital that shocked the world ¨C xie chengze had committed regicide!


    not only did he kill the emperor, he even killed all the adult men in the imperial family!


    keeping these people would be a problem for lu yanzhou, so xie chengze decided to get rid of them first.


    of course, what he wants to deal with is not only the imperial family, but also the powerful people in the capital who have done nothing good!


    xie chengze sealed off the capital and went on a killing spree. for a period of time, everyone in the capital felt danger.

 CH 165

    capital city, imperial palace.


    the eunuchs in the palace were coming and going, cleaning up the bloodstains everywhere in the palace.


    a few days ago, the emperor invited some members of the imperial family to the palace and also found many maids to have fun together.


    as a result, after drinking for three rounds, xie chengze suddenly launched an attack and sent people to guard the palace. then he captured the emperor and all the people he had entertained and killed them on the spot.


    xie chengze acted extremely decisively. he killed the emperor with his own hands. he didn¡¯t say a word of nonsense at that time, and he killed the man directly with a white blade going in then a red blade coming out.


    when the emperor died, his eyes were wide open, unable to die in peace.


    he probably never dreamed that xie chengze would kill him.


    after killing all the imperial members at the banquet, xie chengze sent people to bring the adult men of the imperial family, who had not entered the palace, into the palace, then surrounded and killed them together.


    at that time, some people realized something was wrong and fled away to resist, but they were all killed one by one, along with the imperial family¡¯s loyal guards.


    there was almost a river of blood in the palace, but not many people left.


    after zhang quan¡¯s death, the eunuchs in the palace were led by xie chengze, so now they all obeyed xie chengze¡¯s orders. as for the maids¡­before xie chengze took action, there were maids also plotting to kill the emperor.


    such a big movement in the palace naturally attracted the attention of the influential families outside the palace.


    realizing that a palace coup had occurred, those influential families couldn¡¯t wait to leave the city.


    the influential families all live in the city, but they don¡¯t have many people in the city. instead, they are in the manor outside the city¡­almost all of those influential families have private soldiers!


    however, they can¡¯t get out!


    xie chengze sent troops to block all the city gates and didn¡¯t allow anyone to leave.


    in recent years, the emperor has handed over a lot of military power to xie chengze, and xie chengze has raised many people in the manor on the outskirts of the capital¡­he has 20,000 men and horses, so he can completely control the capital!


    early the next morning, the capital was divided into areas that needed guards. xie chengze¡¯s people even found some people in the capital to go from house to house to shout.


    the general meaning is that the emperor is dead and the capital has changed, so they should stay calm and not wander around.


    then, xie chengze killed many more disobedient people.


    in just two days, xie chengze took control of the capital. after that, the people in the capital lived as usual, except that the city gate was still guarded by xie chengze¡¯s people. the rice, grain, and firewood that the people in the capital needed were also bought and delivered from outside the city for them by xie chengze¡¯s people.


    because of this xie chengze also ransacked those influential families¡¯ manors outside the city and plundered their stored grain.


    now a few days have passed and everything has settled.


    xie chengze is not the emperor, but in the capital at this moment, he is no different from the emperor.


    xie chengze, dressed in fine clothes, slowly walked on top of the imperial palace¡¯s city wall.


    the sun was shining brightly today, making him feel warm.


    xie chengze squinted his eyes and glanced at the sky, then asked sheng yuan who was following him: ¡°how did those influential families react?¡±


    sheng yuan said: ¡°they have somewhat accepted their fate, but most of them are conspiring in private.¡±


    xie chengze added: ¡± did you tell them that they are going to court tomorrow?¡±


    sheng yuan said: ¡°i have already said so.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°wait until tomorrow, if anyone doesn¡¯t come, find someone to tie them up. i want to see them appear neatly in the courtroom.¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s voice was cold. sheng yuan immediately agreed.


    xie chengze turned his head and looked at the scene outside the palace.


    the adult men of the imperial family died cleanly, but after the panic, the people in the capital continued to live their lives as usual. it was dinner time and the smoke was curling up.


    he actually didn¡¯t want to take action so quickly. he originally planned to wait until lu yanzhou¡¯s troops came to the city, then kill everyone who deserved to be killed, and then welcome lu yanzhou into the city.


    however, with the wang family fled from the capital, it frightened many influential families, making many people think of seeking refuge with sun chongshao.


    compared to lu yanzhou, those influential families preferred sun chongshao¡¯s style of conduct.


    what¡¯s more, during this period, sun chongshao found someone to come to the capital to lobby. he promises influential families in the capital many thing, such as as long as they seek refuge with him, they will no longer pursue their past conduct ¡ª sun chongshao is afraid of lu yanhou, so he also to do everything possible to enhance his own power.


    as far as xie chengze knew, those who planned to take refuge with sun chongshao were many evil-doers, and they also had a lot of money and food on hand.


    if they were allowed to go to sun chongshao, they would probably cause a lot of trouble to lu yanzhou.


    therefore, he didn¡¯t plan to do anything about that, he simply struck first to gain the upper hand.


    now that the imperial family is gone, he will also kill black sheep influential families one by one. therefore, before lu yanzhou comes, if possible, he will definitely stabilize the capital and handle the government affairs that should be handled first.


    starting tomorrow, it¡¯s time to go to court as usual!


    xie chengze stood for a long time, then sheng yuan suddenly asked: ¡°godfather, don¡¯t you regret doing this?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°no regrets.¡±


    xie changze told sheng yuan and the others that he would surrender when yan hang¡¯s army reached the capital.


    sheng yuan knew yan hang well. he was not bloodthirsty and loved his people like a child. as long as they surrendered¡­most of them would be able to survive.


    however, xie chengze is different.


    as an eunuch, he has also killed the emperor¡­even though yan hang probably didn¡¯t have the slightest fondness for the dead emperor, he also wouldn¡¯t let xie chengze go.


    there¡¯s only death awaiting xie chengze.


    ¡°godfather, when the time comes, you should leave the capital first and live somewhere anonymously.¡± said sheng yuan.


    xie chengze raised the corner of his lips: ¡°i have enjoyed everything i should enjoy in my life. it¡¯s not a bad thing to die now. on the contrary, living anonymously¡­is not the life i want.¡±


    ¡°but¡­¡± sheng yuan was confused.


    since entering the palace, sheng yuan has always been bullied and no one has ever treated him as a human being.


    even his former friends looked disgusted when they saw him.


    he no longer wanted to live at that time.


    it was xie chengze who helped him and treated him as a human being.


    to sheng yuan, no one is more important than xie chengze.


    xie chengze said: ¡°don¡¯t worry, i will be fine. i have always been in contact with yan hang and have helped him a lot. he will not kill me.¡±


    when xie chengze said this, he looked certain.


    however, he acted like this just to appease sheng yuan.


    he didn¡¯t think lu yanzhou would let him go.


    lu yanzhou once appeared in the capital as his male pet. this should be a great shame and humiliation for lu yanzhou.


    the first thing lu yanzhou did when he came to the capital was probably to kill him and then bury the matter completely!


    he already knew his fate, so he could accept it calmly.


    lu yanzhou did a good job, and he¡­what he had always wanted to do, he had already accomplished.


    dayan is dead!


    xie chengze laughed when he thought of this.


    sheng yuan didn¡¯t know that yan hang was actually lu yanzhou, but he knew that xie chengze had helped yan hang in private.


    he once sent people to investigate the place occupied by yan hang, and he also knew that yan hang was indeed a good person and had a good reputation.


    however, it was precisely because of this that he didn¡¯t think yan hang would let xie chengze live.


    xie chengze¡¯s reputation is too bad! not killing him won¡¯t appease people¡¯ anger!


    however, sheng yuan did not say these words.


    sheng yuan felt that those who entered the capital in the future would not let xie chengze go, and the influential families in the capital also felt the same way.


    ¡°that thief xie must be crazy!¡±


    ¡°how dare he kill his majesty?¡±


    ¡°his majesty¡­and other members of the imperial family were killed by him!¡±


    ¡°he is definitely crazy. he is a eunuch, there¡¯s no way he can be the emperor, why would he do such a crazy thing?¡±


    ¡°perhaps his majesty did something to him in private.¡±


    ¡­


    in addition to speculation, they also curse xie chengze, and then they all felt that xie chengze would definitely not have a good ending.


    ¡°thief xie is already notorious, and now he does something like this. when sun chongshao attacks the capital, he will be cut into pieces!¡±


    ¡°sun chongshao may not necessarily win at the end.¡±


    ¡°will yan hang even let him go? there is no room for sand in yan hang¡¯s eyes. if xie chengze falls into his hands, he will definitely be torn into pieces by 5 horses!¡±


    ¡°although xie chengze has some manpower, how can he stop sun and yan and their two hundreds of thousands of soldiers? he will definitely die!¡±


    ¡­


    everyone felt that xie chengze will definitely die. however, now that they are still in xie chengze¡¯s hands, they are also in danger.


    ¡°now¡­will thief xie drag us to bury him with him?¡±


    ¡°he even killed his majesty!¡±


    ¡°his majesty treated him badly and he killed him, and we impeached him¡­¡±


    ¡°he asked us to go to court tomorrow¡­what should we do?¡±


    ¡­


    because they knew that xie chengze would die sooner or later, these people felt twisted pleasure in their hearts.


    however, at the same time, they were also very scared. after all, they were all in xie chengze¡¯s hands now!


    what xie chengze did was too sudden!


    what xie chengze did was really sudden. when sun chongshao learned about it, he was almost furious to death.


    sun chongshao¡¯s family knew about his family affairs, and he knew very well that he could not defeat yan hang.


    not only are yan hang¡¯s soldiers well-trained, yan hang also has many sophisticated weapons.


    if yan hang hadn¡¯t been fighting steadily, caring about the lives of his men and not liking to fight battles with heavy casualties, he would have lost long ago!


    therefore, after much deliberation, his final solution was to send someone to the capital to win over those influential families in the capital.


    there are many good things in those influential families¡¯ hands. people from the influential family might also have the serial crossbows in yan hang¡¯s hands!


    if he could get the support of the influential family, he may be able to fight yan hang!


    however, the people he sent to the capital, as well as those influential families, are all controlled by xie chengze now!


    he also heard that the property and food of those influential families were also robbed by xie chengze!


    what is he going to do now?


    sun chongshao gritted his teeth and finally decided to attack the capital immediately and occupy the capital first!


    at the same time, lu yanzhou had also ordered the army to reorganized and planned to leave for the capital immediately.


    based on the current situation, sun chongshao would most likely attack the capital. no matter what, he could never let sun chongshao conquer the capital before him.


    xie chengze has done so many things. if someone other than him breaks into the capital, xie chengze will not end well.


    he is going to save xie chengze!


    speaking of which, his darling is quite ruthless in this world¡­and¡­ahem, very touching.

 CH 166

    in the capital city, the sun slowly rose as dawn approached.


    dayan¡¯s morning court is about to begin.


    dayan morning court starts after dawn, even in winter, it¡¯s after dawn.


    however, when the emperor was still alive, he barely went to morning court because he couldn¡¯t get up. he would only go to morning court on certain important occasions.


    on the contrary, now, after xie chengze killed the emperor, he asked the officials to come to court on time.


    in the capital, a certain low-ranking official who had already taken refuge with xie chengze was putting on his official uniform and preparing to enter the palace.


    the official¡¯s son couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°father, are you really going to morning court? bow to that eunuch?¡±


    the little official¡¯s movements stopped, his expression changed again and again, then he finally sighed: ¡°lord qiansui is cruel and ruthless, i didn¡¯t do this just for my sake but for you as well.¡±


    this little official is one of xie chengze people and has been trying to please xie chengze before.


    however, he did this not because he was really convinced by a eunuch, but because he had no other way to go.


    he was born in a poor family. faced with the promotion channels monopolized by the gentry, he had no choice but to find another way to climb up. at that time, he had no choice, so he chose xie chengze.


    however, at that time, he thought that xie chengze represented the imperial family. rather than choosing xie chengze, he should say he chose the imperial family.


    who would have thought that five days ago, xie chengze would kill the imperial family without any warning?


    when he heard the news, he almost broke his teeth and couldn¡¯t relax for several days.


    he admitted that after working with xie chengze, he changed his mind about xie chengze, an eunuch.


    compared to those influential families who only care about their own family, xie chengze really does things for the people sincerely.


    in the past few years, he had killed many officials. the family felt that he did this because the eunuchs wanted to expand his power, but he knew very well that those officials really deserved to be killed!


    however, those families determined that all the charges were fabricated by xie chengze, and they hold the power of speech, so xie chengze can do nothing about it.


    just like now, he knows that xie chengze killed the emperor because the emperor went too far, but others don¡¯t know!


    no one in the world knows!


    xie chengze, a eunuch, actually killed the emperor. this was treason and an unforgivable crime.


    thus, as a member of the eunuch party, he will probably be infamous for thousands of years.


    in the future¡­as a regicide eunuch, he wouldn¡¯t end well.


    the little official was so upset that he wanted to kneel down and cry bitterly.


    he did not want to surrender to a eunuch, he even wanted to commit suicide to save his reputation.


    however, thinking about xie chengze¡¯s past methods and looking at his family, this low-ranking official still went to morning court trembling with fear and feeling unwell.


    the officials who had already taken refuge with xie chengze were like this. those officials who had no dealings with xie chengze were even more unlikely to go to court obediently as xie chengze asked.


    when xie chengze arrived at the court on time, he saw only two or three kittens below.


    he laughed: ¡°tsk, tsk¡­it seems that many people are dissatisfied with me!¡±


    the emperor has been killed and he is about to die, xie chengze has nothing to worry about now.


    he flicked his sleeves, walked forward slowly, then sat directly on the dragon chair: ¡°send someone to invite them. if the living can¡¯t be invited, then the dead will do.¡±


    when the little official, who came to court unwillingly, heard xie chengze say this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.


    at this moment, he was extremely lucky that he had come to court.


    although his fate may not be good in the future, at least he is alive now!


    at this time, countless people were coming and going in the capital. they were going to the official¡¯s home according to the list of ¡®invitee¡¯


    zhou family.


    the zhou family is not inferior to the wang family, so there are many people serving as officials in the court.


    now that xie chengze had killed the emperor, the zhou family disdained to be complicit with him, so they naturally unwilling to go to court.


    ¡°we will never associate with an eunuch even if he is in power!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze seeks to usurp the throne. i would rather die than go to court!¡±


    ¡°we will never obey his orders!¡±


    ¡­


    their family members have all agreed that they will never go to court today!


    they even wrote many bad articles about xie chengze and spread them everywhere.


    with the current situation¡­the new articles they write cannot be sent outside the capital.


    how pathetic!


    ¡°i don¡¯t know why xie chengze did such a thing!¡± a young man from the zhou family was puzzled.


    an eunuch has no heir, even if he usurps power and seizes the throne, it will be useless. besides, officials in the court will never obey an eunuch.


    this is also the reason why the emperor relies on xie chengze. as for xie chengze, it stands to reason that he should also rely on the emperor.


    as a result, xie chengze did something beyond everyone¡¯s expectations!


    ¡°xie chengze¡¯s actions have always been unpredictable. when something happened to my zhou¡¯s son or daughter, they begged him at the door but he still kicked them out of the house!¡± someone sighed.


    the head of the zhou family said at this moment: ¡°wang tingyun is indeed wang tingyun. he got out of this quagmire directly. it¡¯s a pity that i was a step too late! now i¡¯m afraid that xie chengze will act crazy and do something terrible!¡±


    the zhou patriarch¡¯s son said: ¡°father is worrying too much. no matter how crazy xie chengze is, he won¡¯t go against all the influential families! as long as we stay behind closed doors, nothing will happen!¡±


    everyone thought the same.


    doesn¡¯t matter how many years, as long as the influential families united together even the emperor had no choice but to obey, right?


    the zhou family was relieved, but strangely uneasy too.


    there was a sudden noise outside at this moment. a servant immediately came to report: ¡°master, it¡¯s not good, the eunuchs have surrounded us!¡±


    the head of the zhou family suddenly stood up, his face changed drastically.


    before the zhou family could react, xie chengze¡¯s troops had already broken in.


    the leader was a young general in his twenties and thirties. as soon as he came in, he said: ¡°lord qiansui has an order. doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re dead or alive, everyone who has to go to morning court must be present!¡±


    he was wearing armor with what seemed like bloodstain on it, making him look murderous.


    patriarch zhou¡¯s eyes were about to burst: ¡°tian qi, are you really going to work for an eunuch? aren¡¯t you afraid that you will die without a burial place in the future?¡±


    the young general named tian qi said: ¡°patriarch zhou don¡¯t have to worry about that! patriarch zhou, are you going to go by yourself, or should i invite you?¡±


    some of xie chengze¡¯s people were trained by him, so they are loyal to him.


    however, there are also some who were instigated by him to rebel.


    the tian qi in front of them was one of the people xie chengze instigated to rebel. xie chengze was able to instigate tian qi because he had a letter from lu yanzhou in his hand.


    he told tian qi that he was working for yan hang.


    tian qi accepted the recruitment and was willing to work for yan hang and kill the imperial family. he. naturally did his best so he was not afraid that he would not end well.


    when yan hang comes, he will naturally surrender!


    ¡°what are you going to do if we don¡¯t go?¡± asked patriarch zhou.


    tian qi laughed: ¡°come here! tie them up and send them to the palace!¡±


    the zhou family cursed, from tian qi to xie chengze, non-stop.


    tian qi sneered and said, ¡°stop their mouths.¡±


    the graceful and elegant zhou family were tied up and sent to the palace.


    scenes like this were staged in various places throughout the capital.


    most of the people who did not enter the palace at first were taken away after someone came to tie them up.


    however, there were also some people who refused to leave. before xie chengze¡¯s men tied them up, they had already hanged themselves, or hit their head and bled, insisting on maintaining their family dignity.


    xie chengze¡¯s people didn¡¯t care about it, so they brought all these dead or injured people into the palace.


    there were also some people who escaped secretly and mingled among the common people. if they were caught, that¡¯s that, but if they could not be caught¡­xie chengze¡¯s people directly took the family members of the escaped officials and sent them to prison.


    xie chengze sat on the seat above, supporting his chin with his hand and looking leisurely at the howling officials.


    those who came to court obediently were given seats, but those who were tied up and taken in were thrown together.


    these people were all originally of honorable status, but now they lost all sense of decency. what¡¯s even more terrifying is that there are corpses among them, and those who were bleeding and bruised are all from injuries!


    ¡°xie chengze, you will die a good death!¡± the pieces of cloth in these people¡¯s mouths have been removed, so they are now shouting curses.


    some of them cursed like street shrews but some of them didn¡¯t use a single curse word when they spoke, but they still curse.


    xie chengze listened with a half-smile.


    when the sun was 3 pole high, most of the people were gathered.


    tian qi knelt on the ground and reported to xie chengze.


    after listening to the report, xie chengze smiled and said: ¡°these people scold me and give me a headache. let¡¯s catch a few and chop them up. as for the rest¡­let them watch the execution.¡±


    tian qi answered: ¡°yes!¡±


    after tian qi finished speaking, a few people were captured and dragged outside, their heads were chopped off. as for the rest, tian qi¡¯s people carried them to watch the execution.


    xie chengze did not mention anyone by name, as if he was letting tian qi arrest and kill people at will, but this was not the case.


    xie chengze had already told tian qi to kill a few fixed people.


    these people have done many evil things, and some even fled to the capital after extorting excessive taxes and forcing their tenant farmers to rebel.


    they have been killed long ago!


    however, xie chengze and tian qi knew this, but others did not. in their opinion, this was because xie chengze was unhappy and just wanted to kill people!


    there were corpses lying around, and some people were also dragged out and beheaded¡­people who saw this scene couldn¡¯t let out a single curse word. they kept trembling, some even became incontinent.


    xie chengze laughed when he saw this: ¡°come here, clean up all these officials! they should be able to attend court now!¡±

 CH 167

    today¡¯s morning court started after noon and did not end until dark.


    although xie chengze gave the officials in the court a warning when he appeared, these officials still did not cooperate very much afterwards.


    xie chengze followed suit and killed a few more.


    there are many crimes and with many people on his must-kill list, he can slowly kill them.


    in the process, he can also investigate the crimes of others and kill a few more.


    he wanted to make the family that had hollowed out dayan to fall apart in his hands.


    he was also paving the way for lu yanzhou.


    if these people are not resolved, lu yanzhou will definitely encounter a lot of resistance from these influential families in the future.


    however, after he disintegrates the power of these influential families and also kills them, when lu yanzhou comes to the capital, he will naturally be regarded as the savior by these people.


    when the time comes, they will obey lu yanzhou¡¯s orders and work for him.


    xie chengze originally didn¡¯t plan to do so much, but lu yanzhou wrote to him every day for several years and weaved a sweet dream for him. he always wanted to give lu yanzhou some thank you gifts.


    he went too far and no whe gave lu yanzhou a good reason to kill him.


    xie chengze returned to his residence and asked his servants to clean the room where he and lu yanzhou had lived before.


    he has been living in a different room for the past few years, but now¡­he wants to stay in that room again.


    returning to the place where he lived alone, xie chengze took out the letter lu yanzhou had recently written to him and read it.


    when lu yanzhou wrote this letter, the wang family had not yet arrived at lu yanzhou¡¯s place, so the letter was as affectionate as ever.


    the letter is very long, but xie chengze had read it several times and could now recite part of it.


    after reading the letter written by lu yanzhou, he took out the letter written by xie jia and read it.


    xie jia still called him ¡®master¡¯ and then wrote down all lu yanzhou¡¯s recent actions. the meaning was obvious ¡ª lu yanzhou had been thinking about him and there was no one else beside him.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t believe it.


    xie jia is now a general under lu yanzhou. since lu yanzhou values him so highly, he must be loyal to lu yanzhou and help lu yanzhou.


    xie jia was probably coaxing him with lu yanzhou.


    but he liked it.


    these letters allow him to tell himself that he was always loved.


    xie chengze went to bed early, but the influential family in the capital was very frightened.


    going to court today, for them, is like walking around the gates of hell.


    they no longer remember what they discussed when they went to court today. they only remember that when they went to court, there were eunuchs cleaning up the blood stains inside and outside the hall all the time.


    the smell of blood made them want to vomit, and the sound of splashing water and cleaning made their scalps numb. in their eyes, the hall had become hell, and xie chengze sitting on the dragon throne was clearly king yan!


    they don¡¯t know how they got home!


    ¡°xie chengze has gone crazy.¡±


    ¡°he knows he won¡¯t live long, so he wants to bury all of us with him!¡±


    ¡°what should we do? should we go to court tomorrow?¡±


    ¡­


    they are going to die if they don¡¯t go to court but they may not survive even if they go to court either!


    after everyone despaired, they began to hope that someone could save them.


    ¡°why haven¡¯t sun chongshao and yan hang come to the capital yet?¡±


    ¡°no matter who it is, come to the capital quickly and kill xie chengze!¡±


    ¡°we can¡¯t be discouraged. it doesn¡¯t matter how crazy xie chengze is. when the rebels enter the capital, he will definitely not have a good end!¡±


    ¡°i want to live and wait for the day i see xie chengze¡¯s death!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze¡¯s end will definitely be worse than ours!¡±


    ¡­


    after thinking that xie chengze would be miserable in the future, these officials finally felt a little better.


    that night, some officials who thought they had integrity and could not succumb to the eunuchs committed suicide at home.


    however, the vast majority of people went to morning court obediently the next day.


    there were even people who were afraid of death who behaved obediently and started flattering xie chengze.


    as a result, xie chengze said that this man was too ugly and had him dragged out and beheaded.


    xie chengze seemed moody in the eyes of those officials, but xie chengze and xie chengze¡¯s close men all knew that the official who was killed because of his appearance was actually a very bad person who committed many evil deeds.


    after that, xie chengze killed a few more people on the grounds that he didn¡¯t like someone¡¯s beard or felt that someone looked at him inappropriately.


    when the officials left the palace that day, their faces were all pale. some of them fell to the ground as their legs went weak as soon as they left the palace.


    xie chengze looked at these people from a distance and felt quite good.


    ¡°godfather, you should disclose the crimes of those people.¡± said sheng yuan.


    xie chengze killed those who deserved to be killed. if he disclosed the crimes of these people, then these officials would not be so afraid, and the people in the capital also wouldn¡¯t regard xie chengze as a man-eating demon.


    xie chengze said: ¡°it¡¯s not necessary.¡±


    ¡°godfather!¡± sheng yuan was a little anxious.


    xie chengze raised the corner of his lips: ¡°even if i announce the crimes of these people, others will not believe it.¡±


    ¡°what about yan hang¡­¡± sheng yuan frowned. if what xie chengze did was to eliminate harm for the people, then yan hang would naturally let xie chengze go when he comes.


    but now that xie chengze is acting so willfully, will yan hang still let him go?


    xie chengze showed a gentle expression: ¡°don¡¯t worry, yan hang is an upright man so he won¡¯t blame me.¡±


    sheng yuan was speechless.


    his godfather has never met yan hang, why does he trust yan hang so much?


    no matter how good yan hang is, if everyone around yan hang wants him to kill xie chengze, can yan hang still protect xie chengze?


    what¡¯s more, xie chengze killed the emperor!


    which emperor will leave the person who killed an emperor alive?


    xie chengze then said: ¡°okay, sheng yuan, let¡¯s talk about something else, such as finding a reason to kill people tomorrow.¡±


    sheng yuan: ¡°¡­¡±


    people outside the capital didn¡¯t know much about the situation in the capital, but at this time, lu yanzhou led a group of people to cook.


    they had just finished a day¡¯s march and now they are taking a rest.


    in lu yanzhou¡¯s team, the food eaten by ordinary soldiers and generals are different, but the difference is not big.


    anyway, the scene in dayan, where the soldiers ate chaffy vegetables while the children of those influential families, who led the soldiers had a lot of servants, not only delicacies from the mountains and seas along the way, but also leisurely reciting poems and painting, did not exist here.


    in fact, dayan once sent troops to wipe out his rebel team, but the troops came very slowly, he even had to wait for two days.


    when those people who he was waiting for finally arrived¡­the general, who was born in the influential family, drove ordinary soldiers to serve as cannon fodder, then relied mainly on their carefully trained guards to fight. this was also an eye-opener for lu yanzhou.


    at that time, he killed all the general and his servants. as for the ordinary soldiers¡­they are now serving as soldiers under him. they eat multigrain flatbread and salted fish.


    lu yanzhou has obtained many resources from the sea over the years.


    salt drying in the sun, fishing, and even raising ducks on the beach, he did not miss anything.


    therefore, when marching and fighting, his soldiers were guaranteed a piece of salted fish every day, and salted duck eggs from time to time.


    ordinary soldiers in the army basically eat salted fish with dry food, as well as freshly cooked kelp soup and seaweed soup. generals, depending on their rank, can get some other types of food, such as bacon, dry meat, and noodles and the like.


    lu yanzhou was sitting next to a pot of porridge, chewing on dried meat.


    the staple food of the generals is also multigrain flatbread, but they also have hot porridge to drink, dried meat, and sauerkraut fried in oil.


    everyone sat on the ground and ate.


    wang tingyun and wang pinghou, father and son, didn¡¯t want to sit down at first, but they were too tired, so they sat down anyway.


    they didn¡¯t want to eat from such a big pot of rice, but they were so hungry that they ate anyway.


    the wang father and son, who were polite and even had their beards carefully trimmed one by one, were now fighting for the dried meat with bared teeth.


    they didn¡¯t need to come, but wang tingyun wanted to make some contribution, so he said he knew the situation in the capital better and wanted to follow them.


    lu yanzhou thought that he would have to deal with the influential family in the future, and wang tingyun also knew what he was doing, so he took him with him.


    along the way, wang tingyun and his son, who had no previous experience in marching, really suffered a lot.


    however, hardships are hardships. after seeing the situation of the army led by yan hang, they became more and more convinced that yan hang could win.


    his soldiers are strong and well-equipped, and they trust their superiors when executing orders and prohibitions¡­


    that¡¯s like the private soldiers that influential families spend money to raise! but how could the number of private soldiers they raised compare to the number of troops under lu yanzhou¡¯s command?


    wang tingyun swallowed a mouthful of dried meat with difficulty and asked: ¡°general yan, do you have a way to make salt?¡±


    soldiers marching and fighting need to eat a lot of salt to have strength.


    however, salt is expensive, and dayan¡¯s army will not give ordinary soldiers enough salt anyway.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s army is different. his soldiers all have salted fish to eat.


    after wang tingyun tasted the salted fish, he also determined that the salt used to pickle the salted fish should be high-quality salt.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t hide anything: ¡°yes, i have a way to make salt!¡±


    ¡°there has been an abundance of salt on the market in the past two years¡­¡±


    ¡°i sold it,¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°if general yan does not sell salt, the combat effectiveness of sun chongshao¡¯s army should be greatly reduced.¡± wang tingyun said. generally, in troubled times, the price of salt will skyrocket, but in recent years, there is a lot of salt on the market so the price of salt also became cheap.


    he didn¡¯t know what was going on before, but now he knew that it was yan hang who did it.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°the common people also need to eat salt. if i don¡¯t sell it, the common people¡¯s life will be more difficult.¡±


    in this era, no one has dried salt, so the production of salt is not high. coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, the price is not cheap.


    however, after lu yanzhou started to make dry salt¡­he really didn¡¯t lack salt on his hands.


    he also had an army to transport salt to various places.


    ¡°general yan is so kind!¡± said wang tingyun.


    lu yanzhou smiled and took another sip of porridge. he also asked someone to serve the porridge, put in a spoonful of sauerkraut, and gave it to some soldiers.


    soldiers who receive such honors naturally have done some meritorious service in previous battles.


    seeing lu yanzhou like this, wang tingyun couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°general yan, why are you in such a hurry to stop sun chongshao? the current situation in the capital is probably not very good. xie chengze is at the end of his rope, he might do something¡­why don¡¯t you just let sun chongshao goes to the capital first, then we¡¯ll reap the benefits after.¡±


    others may feel that going to the capital first will not only have a better reputation, but they will also gain access to many resources in the capital and the support of those influential families.


    however, wang tingyun knew very well that his nephew was not simple.


    if sun chongshao was the first to surround the capital, he would have to face xie chengze. not only would sun chongshao not be able to take the advantage, he might also suffer heavy losses.


    in fact, sun chongshao may not be able to capture the capital at all!


    it would be most cost-effective for lu yanzhou to wait until the strength of both sides has been reduced before appearing.


    wang tingyun thought so, and other people under lu yanzhou actually thought so too, so they asked questions one after another.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°we can¡¯t let sun chongshao go to the capital first. the capital belongs to me!¡±


    it is indeed more orthodox to take the lead in capturing the capital first. just as wang tingyun was about to say a few words, he heard lu yanzhou say again: ¡°my family beauty is still in the capital.¡±


    everyone was shocked.


    it is well known that yan hang has a very precious wife.


    however, that person only existed in yan hang and the veterans around yan hang¡¯s mouths. others had never seen her and had no idea who she was.


    everyone thought that yan hang was afraid that someone would hurt her in these troubled times, so he hid her tightly. she should be hiding somewhere isolated from the world, right?


    this person is actually¡­in the capital?


    ¡°i¡¯m in a hurry to go to the capital to save him,¡± lu yanzhou looked at his men, ¡°except for the wang family, you have been following me for a long time. you know that there are always people giving me things, right? those are all from him. that¡¯s right! you have all eaten the food he sent, and you have all worn the weapons and armor he sent. all the new and fresh things in my hands are also related to him. without him, there wouldn¡¯t be the current me, or any of you!¡±


    everyone¡¯s expressions became serious.


    lu yanzhou added: ¡°so i¡¯ll put it here, he is more important than me! when i go to the capital, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t respect me. if you don¡¯t respect him, i will challenge you to a duel!¡±


    lu yanzhou not only gave xie chengze credit for sending things to help as his ¡®madam¡¯, he also told people of the things he asked people to do and what he did.


    therefore, although his subordinates have never met the madam, they still respect the legendary madam.


    ¡°general, we will surely respect madam.¡±


    ¡°that winter, if madam hadn¡¯t sent people to deliver food, my family might have starved to death! whatever madam asks me to do, i will do it!¡±


    ¡°we will definitely rescue madam!¡±


    ¡­


    for a moment, everyone was furious and clamoring to go to the capital to save the person.


    this fighting spirit is quite good, but¡­xie chengze probably doesn¡¯t need their rescue.


    lu yanzhou stopped sun chongshao because he was afraid that sun chongshao would hurt xie chengze.


    ¡°i wonder what the capital is like right now. will madam be okay?¡±


    ¡°general, have you arranged enough manpower for madam?¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is so cruel and ruthless¡­¡±


    ¡°stop!¡± lu yanzhou frowned, ¡°i told you, xie chengze has been doing things for the people, he is much better than those influential families! don¡¯t say bad things about him!¡±


    everyone: ¡°¡­¡± lu yanzhou often analyzes xie chengze¡¯s actions for them recently. after analyzing it, it turns out that xie chengze does so many things for people¡¯s sake.


    therefore, everyone actually has a good impression of xie chengze. they felt quite happy when xie chengze killed the emperor before!


    they said bad things about xie chengze this time because they were worried about the madam¡­however, their general still won¡¯t let anyone say bad things about xie chengze at this time?


    lu yanzhou added: ¡°xie chengze does things with a limit. although he has sealed off the capital, he will definitely not attack innocent people. he will only kill those imperial and influential family members who have done many evil things¡­i believe him!¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s generals all trusted lu yanzhou, so after hearing what lu yanzhou said, they believed him too.


    after all, through lu yanzhou¡¯s repeated brainwashing during this period, they had begun to think that xie chengze was a hero who endured humiliation and fought against the influential families for the common people.


    only the wangs and his son were a little embarrassed.


    in yan hang¡¯s mind, the influential families seemed inferior to xie chengze, a eunuch¡­


    this man¡¯s ideas were really different and deviant!

 CH 168

    lu yanzhou¡¯s soldiers were well fed, rested, and had sufficient supplies, so they moved faster than sun chongshao.


    lu yanzhou set up camp one day away from the capital and began to wait for sun chongshao¡¯s arrival.


    suddenly, the smell of salted fish filled the air in the military camp.


    wang tingyun and wang pinghou, the father and son whose clothes used to be scented with expensive incense, are now smelling of salted fish! a fishy smell.


    ¡°general yan, it is said that sun chongshao has led an army of 300,000. is general yan confident about dealing with him?¡± wang tingyun asked lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou only brought 50,000 soldiers with him to the capital this time. as for the 50,000 soldiers, there were 20,000 people who were just for support and wouldn¡¯t fight.


    300,000 versus 30,000¡­wang tingyun was worried that lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t defeat sun chongshao.


    lu yanzhou scratched the beard on his face: ¡°it¡¯s okay, we can definitely win.¡±


    in fact, the population of this era was very small. there had been years of famine, rampant plagues, frequent wars, so many people had died.


    therefore, now there are probably only more than 20 million people in the entire dayan.


    materials such as food are even more scarce.


    sun chongshao claims to have an army of 300,000, but in fact it would be good to have 150,000.


    otherwise¡­where did sun chongshao get so much food to feed them?


    this time things happened too suddenly, so even he couldn¡¯t pull up such a huge team in this short amount of time.


    moreover, lu yanzhou had dealt with sun chongshao before. his logistics personnel were more effective than sun chongshao¡¯s people. as for his soldiers¡­he had recently upgraded their equipment.


    lu yanzhou is very confident, this is what one needs in a war!


    seeing lu yanzhou like this, his men were filled with confidence and eager to fight!


    when sun chongshao arrived with his ¡®300,000 soldiers¡¯, they faced lu yanzhou¡¯s strong warriors who had a good rest.


    in fact, sun chongshao had already received the news and knew that yan hang was also going to the capital.


    however, he still comes here. after all, he and yan hang will have to fight sooner or later!


    now that he has so many people, it¡¯s not certain who will win in a fight between the two sides, but if yan hang goes to the capital first, obtains the capital¡¯s resources and then ascends the throne as emperor¡­by then, he will never be able to turn things around.


    the two sides fought together without saying a word.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s soldiers wore uniform armor and had sharp weapons, but sun chongshao¡¯s soldiers did not have such things¡­


    but this is not the key. the most important thing is that lu yanzhou used gunpowder.


    a very primitive bomb, not very lethal, but it can be used to scare people.


    the shouts of ¡®surrender and you won¡¯t be killed¡¯ accompanied by the explosion destroyed the morale of sun chongshao¡¯s soldiers. lu yanzhou specially sent a specially trained special force to enter the encirclement and captured sun chongshao.


    wang tingyun: ¡°¡­¡± the battle progressed so quickly that it was a bit beyond his expectation.


    he was even more surprised when he saw that lu yanzhou¡¯s logistics personnel went to rescue the injured prisoners together with the uninjured soldiers, and even cooked for the prisoners.


    usually when they go to war and capture enemy soldiers, they won¡¯t give them food or treatment for a day or two. after all, food and medicinal materials are very precious.


    moreover, two days of starvation can leave the captives with no energy to resist.


    as for whether the wounded will die¡­if the weak ones die, wouldn¡¯t it be just right?


    ¡°general yan, you treat prisoners very good!¡± wang tingyun admired yan hang more and more!


    when he was young, he had a dream to change the world, but later, he gradually forgot about it.


    now, he thinks he might be able to watch others change the world.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°they have surrendered, so they are not prisoners, they are now my soldiers.¡±


    wang tingyun asked: ¡°general, do you have enough food?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°it¡¯s not enough, but it can last for a few days.¡±


    the entire population of dayan was not as large as a large city in later generations, but agriculture at this time was not developed enough, plus there also wars occuring in the past few years. even if lu yanzhou found another way to fish to feed his soldiers, food was still a little tight.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°if general can take down the capital quickly, you should be able to get a lot of food. many influential families have countless grain reserves, and there are several granaries near the capital.¡±


    ¡°we¡¯ll go to the capital tomorrow.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    wang tingyun then added: ¡°general, although xie chengze is an eunuch, he is very talented. if general were to confront him, it would not be easy to take down the capital. in my opinion, general can recruit him to surrender.¡±


    wang tingyun actually admired xie chengze very much.


    previously, he felt that xie chengze had gone too far and was afraid that he would not survive, but after getting to know yan hang in depth, he felt that yan hang might let xie chengze go.


    ¡°oh?¡± lu yanzhou looked at wang tingyun in surprise.


    ¡°i have some friendship with xie chengze, i can help general talk with xie chengze.¡± wang tingyun added.


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°no, my friendship with xie chengze is much deeper than your friendship with xie chengze!¡±


    wang tingyun: ¡°¡­¡± no matter how good xie chengze is, he is still his nephew. how could the relationship between yan hang and xie chengze be deeper than him and xie chengze!


    lu yanzhou felt a little guilty towards wang tingyun because of young lady wang.


    however, he was sure that wang tingyun did not know his existence.


    as for young lady wang, he secretly inquired and found out that the girl was already married and had a child. she would definitely pretend not to recognize him when she saw him again.


    he had previously concealed his appearance in front of wang tingyun, because he was afraid that wang tingyun would find out that he was xie chengze¡¯s pillow person. after all, if this matter spread out, it would be a problem to xie chengze, it would make the emperor suspect xie chengze.


    but now he no longer has to worry about this, after all, xie chengze has already killed the emperor.


    lu yanzhou now treated wang tingyun with a normal attitude.


    early the next morning, lu yanzhou left most of the people behind and asked them to take care of the prisoners, then he headed straight for the capital with 10,000 soldiers.


    after more than five years of separation, he missed xie chengze!


    he can finally see xie chengze!


    xie chengze naturally knew about the fight between lu yanzhou and sun chongshao near the capital.


    he sealed off the capital, but his own people kept coming in and out, and he also sent people to find news.


    he originally thought that lu yanzhou would let sun chongshao clear the way, then he would reap the benefits from the rear. unexpectedly, lu yanzhou defeated sun chongshao¡¯s army first.


    but it¡¯s not unusual for him to do so¡­lu yanzhou¡¯s army is very strong, and sun chongshao doesn¡¯t have the power to fight against him. lu yanzhou can completely deal with sun chongshao first, and then come to the capital.


    in today¡¯s morning court, xie chengze once again sat on the dragon throne and looked at the officials standing below with a smile.


    these officials insisted on coming to court every day for half a month, and now the number of people was reduced by half already.


    each of them has lost at least ten catties(~13.2 lbs).


    how pitiful!


    xie chengze laughed out loud.


    the officials below were trembling and did not dare to raise their heads. they were afraid that the next second, xie chengze would suddenly feel that their heads were not good-looking and wanted to chop it off.


    xie chengze suddenly said: ¡°everyone, ihas just received good news. sun chongshao¡¯s 300,000 soldiers have arrived near the capital.¡±


    these officials almost stopped breathing. 300,000 soldiers! xie chengze absolutely can¡¯t deal with it!


    are they saved?


    no, not necessarily!


    seeing that xie chengze was about to die, he might drag the entire capital to be buried with him!


    xie chengze added: ¡°what a pity, he met yan hang and was captured by yan hang!¡±


    the officials: ¡°¡­¡± their minds went blank, they no longer knew how they should react.


    ¡°yan hang will arrive here soon. do you think¡­will he like the capital as it is now?¡± xie chengze asked.


    before the officials could speak, xie chengze said, ¡°if none of you speak, it¡¯s useless even if you have mouths¡­let¡¯s pull a few people out to chop it off!¡±


    tian qi immediately pulled a few people down.


    the officials trembled even more.


    however, xie chengze stood up: ¡°he came too quickly. i haven¡¯t finished anything yet. i can only work harder today and finish things first¡­¡±


    not all the people to be killed were officials. some of the wealthy families who fled to the capital were not officials.


    now¡­let¡¯s kill them all together!

 CH 169

    xie chengze sealed off the capital, allowing only entry and no exit, but this had little impact on the ordinary people living in the capital.


    he raided the granary of the influential families, so he had enough food on hand, therefore the grain store in the capital opened as usual.


    he hired people to build roads and city walls, so that people who had no money to eat could work and earn money.


    he also built a relief hall to take in orphans and the elderly.


    for some people who originally lived outside the city but accidentally entered the city, he also specially arranged a place for them to live. as for where the accommodation came from¡­he raided the homes of many officials, they always have vacant houses.


    in the first few days, people panic, but after a few days, everything becomes normal.


    for them, now that none of the influential families who always wear gold and silver, shouting and cheering can be seen, this seem pretty good?


    xie chengze¡¯s closure of the city had little impact on the common people, but it had a great impact on the influential families. not only were they in fear all day long, but their living standards had also plummeted.


    for example, their manor outside the city sent them all kinds of fresh meat every day previously, but now they have none of it.


    although the grain stores in the city are open and the prices of all kinds of coarse grains are still very cheap, the fine grains are very expensive! even sold for a sky-high price!


    what about the dishes? pickled fish and pickled vegetables are sold cheaply, but the rest are also priced astronomically.


    ordinary people have no problem with this at all. they eat whole grains and don¡¯t eat much vegetables.


    in addition, the capital has always been under the control of those influential families, so private individuals cannot sell salt. in the past, the price of a catty of salt was as much as that of a hundred pounds of grain. now salted fish and pickle vegetables are sold for a few copper coins per catty¡­they are ecstatic and hoarded a lot.


    however, how could the influential families tolerate eating coarse grains and salted fish?


    even at the critical moment of life and death, the influential families still felt that they could not lose face. they bought the most expensive grains and live chickens and ducks, which allowed xie chengze to make a lot of money.


    in addition to what he ransacked from houses and the things left behind by the emperor, xie chengze now had an unknown amount of treasure in his hands.


    xie chengze has asked sheng yuan to register these things.


    tian qi captured people and killed them again. xie chengze said to sheng yuan: ¡°when yan hang comes, give him the things here.¡±


    sheng yuan looked at the gold and silver jewelry and asked xie chengze: ¡°godfather, you should do this.¡±


    xie chengze said, ¡°i will be busy with things so i won¡¯t have time.¡±


    is it true that he doesn¡¯t have time? or was his godfather actually prepared to die a long time ago? sheng yuan looked at xie chengze: ¡°godfather!¡±


    ¡°sheng yuan, yan hang will be a good emperor.¡± after xie chengze said this, he turned and left.


    sheng yuan is a smart man. he knows that sheng yuan will not do anything stupid and go against lu yanzhou.


    during this time, xie chengze had already told his confidants to listen to lu yanzhou in the future.


    he has almost finished the rest of his arrangements.


    when lu yanzhou comes, he will not only take over a clean capital, but also get a lot of manpower and a large amount of supplies.


    as for him¡­he wants to see lu yanzhou again. what will happen next depends on what lu yanzhou wants him to do.


    xie chengze walked for a while, then met the eunuch and palace maid who were cleaning.


    after he launched the palace coup, these people were very scared and had been trembling with fear, but living under someone¡¯s control, they still continued to live as before.


    as for the person who controls them, their situation is similar to sheng yuan. they are all his confidants, so they have all received orders from him to obey yan hang¡¯s orders.


    as for the generals in his hands¡­


    some of them are in the same situation as sheng yuan and others. they have already received his orders and will obey lu yanzhou¡¯s arrangements. some of them were simply sent to lu yanzhou.


    he didn¡¯t know what lu yanzhou was like before, but based on his understanding of the lu yanzhou he came into contact with, lu yanzhou should let these people go.


    that is to say, he¡­has to give an explanation to the world.


    xie chengze thought so, and xie chengze¡¯s confidants also thought so too.


    at this time, sheng yuan met with several other close eunuchs of xie chengze and started discussing.


    ¡°yan hang is coming soon. what will happen to lord qiansui then?¡±


    ¡°yan hang is a good person, but if he wants to appease the world, he can¡¯t let lord qiansui go.¡±


    ¡°didn¡¯t lord qiansui say that yan hang won¡¯t hurt him?¡±


    ¡°do you believe that?¡±


    ¡°lord qiansui has killed so many people recently, how can yan hang let him go?¡±


    ¡­


    as everyone talked, they gradually became silent. then, someone said: ¡°then what should we do?¡±


    what should they do if xie chengze dies?


    in the end, it was sheng yuan who said, ¡°lord qiansui has paved the way for you. don¡¯t let down his hard work and live well.¡±


    hearing what sheng yuan said, these people felt very sad.


    xie chengze walked around the palace, and tian qi, who had been ordered to kill people, now came back.


    xie chengze and tian qi had already discussed who to kill, and today tian qi took those people and killed them all.


    ¡°lord qiansui, fortunately i didn¡¯t disappoint you!¡± when tian qi saw xie chengze, he bent down and saluted.


    xie chengze asked: ¡°general tian, you were rushed to kill people these days, aren¡¯t you afraid that you will die without a burial place in the future?¡±


    xie chengze needs someone to help him kill. he can be easily get rid of after the incident, and the same is true for the person who helped him kill.


    thus, he originally planned to let his generals take turns killing people, so it would be difficult for lu yanzhou to pursue them.


    as a result, tian qi rushed to do the job.


    tian qi was someone who he instigated to rebel, he¡¯s not one of his confidants. at first, tian qi only helped him block the capital and arrest officials who didn¡¯t come to court. that was fine, but then tian qi later killed so many officials¡­


    tian qi laughed: ¡°lord qiansui, you are not afraid, what should i be afraid of?¡±


    xie chengze raised his eyebrows: ¡°general tian also has a story?¡±


    tian qi said: ¡°there is a story, it¡¯s not a big thing. my sister took my wife, who i have yet to marry then, for an outing, but then they were killed by the zhou family¡¯s beasts.¡±


    tian qi actually came from a good family and was a branch of the tian family, a small influential family.


    unfortunately, the hierarchy among influential families is also very strict.


    the zhou family had harmed his family, but there was nothing he could do.


    he originally thought that he would never be able to get revenge in this life, but he never expected that xie chengze would start to promote him and win over him¡­later, xie chengze went on a killing spree against the royal family and influential families.


    he has seen the evidence that xie chengze collected about the people he wanted to kill. those people deserve to die!


    his parents had passed away not long ago, so he simply followed xie chengze and became the sword in xie chengze¡¯s hand.


    as for the future¡­it doesn¡¯t matter if he dies.


    all his enemies were killed by him now!


    xie chengze said: ¡°don¡¯t worry, i will let yan hang spare you.¡±


    tian qi is a talented person, lu yanzhou should not kill tian qi.


    he will just make an excuse that tian qi was forced by him, then send tian qi to the border to stay for a few years¡­when tian qi came back a few years later, no one would pursue what happened back then.


    tian qi said: ¡°lord qiansui, we have already bloodbathed the capital, how could yan hang let us go?¡±


    xie chengze laughed: ¡°don¡¯t worry, he will let us go.¡±


    tian qi felt that xie chengze was deceiving him.


    yan hang couldn¡¯t let them go.


    people from the big families in the capital also felt that it was impossible for yan hang to let xie chengze go.


    the influential families are all related to each other, and those left in the capital are all people who have not committed any serious crimes. however, since xie chengze killed many of their relatives and friends and they were frightened for so many days, they naturally want xie chengze to die immediately.


    ¡°is yan hang really coming?¡±


    ¡°it should be true!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze doesn¡¯t need to lie to us.¡±


    ¡°i didn¡¯t expect sun chongshao to be so useless and lose so quickly!¡±


    ¡°wang tingyun deserves to be wang tingyun¡­¡±


    ¡°we should have followed wang tingyun to join yan hang.¡±


    ¡°so what if we lose our dignity? at least we don¡¯t have to die!¡±


    ¡­


    after everyone talked about this, they mentioned xie chengze¡¯s killing spree today: ¡°that tian qi is a mad dog. he broke into many people¡¯s homes today and killed them after catching them!¡±


    ¡°brother li finally escaped to the capital. he had only lived a calm life for a few days then he suffered this misfortune.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is really lawless!¡±


    ¡°you just noticed that today?¡±


    ¡°half of the influential family members in our capital have been killed by him¡­¡±


    ¡­


    the rabbit died and the fox was sad. everyone was extremely uncomfortable and extremely frightened, fearing that someone would suddenly break in and kill them.


    at this time, there is only one thing that can make them feel better: ¡°yan hang is coming, xie chengze will definitely not end well by then!¡±


    ¡°we are going to be saved!¡±


    ¡°a person like xie chengze will definitely be torn by five horses and cut into pieces with a thousand knives!¡±


    ¡­


    after these people imagined what xie chengze was about to encounter, they finally felt much better.


    however, when another group of cavalry passed by outside¡­ these people subconsciously looked for a place to hide, all trembling.


    however, those people are not here to catch them!


    while they were hiding, a servant came in: ¡°master, i have heard the news, the rebels are here!¡±


    after the servant finished speaking, he saw that those masters, who had crawled under the table and had peed his pants, were speechless for a moment.


    ¡°the rebels are coming!¡±


    ¡°they are finally here!¡±


    ¡°yan hang is so powerful, he will surely take control of the capital soon!¡±


    ¡°should we help him?¡±


    ¡­


    everyone started talking about it, and then another servant came to report: ¡°master, the general guarding the city gate opened the gate and allowed the rebels to enter the city!¡±


    these influential families were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed: ¡°the people under xie chengze can¡¯t stand xie chengze anymore!¡±


    ¡°they must have surrendered so quickly for life!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is finished!¡±


    ¡°hahahaha!¡±


    ¡­


    these survivors cried with joy.


    xie chengze¡¯s people indeed opened the city gate as soon as they saw lu yanzhou and let lu yanzhou¡¯s people in.


    this is what xie chengze had ordered long ago.


    however, their moods were all complicated ¡ª will they¡­see their lord qiansui again in the future?


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what these people were thinking.


    he had been traveling so hard recently that he didn¡¯t have time to take a shower, so now he was completely dirty.


    at first, he was worried that xie chengze would dislike him when he saw him like this, but¡­when he came, he didn¡¯t even see xie chengze!


    didn¡¯t xie chengze come to greet him?


    lu yanzhou immediately asked, ¡°where is xie chengze?¡±


    tian qi stepped forward and said, ¡°general yan, lord qiansui is at home. he said he wanted to see you¡­let me show you the way!¡±


    xie chengze is at home? lu yanzhou said: ¡°you don¡¯t need to lead the way, i know the way!¡±


    lu yanzhou wanted to take care of his appearance before going, but he couldn¡¯t wait to see xie chengze.


    forget it, just go on like this. then he also can complain to xie chengze and make xie chengze feel sorry for him.


    lu yanzhou rode his horse and headed directly towards xie chengze¡¯s residence.


    xie jia also wanted to see xie chengze and followed him immediately.


    seeing this, lu yanzhou¡¯s other men followed him subconsciously. even wang tingyun, who had been running all the way, also followed.


    seeing this scene, tian qi and xie chengze¡¯s confidants naturally would not be left behind.


    tian qi was actually a little confused at this moment.


    they opened the city gate, but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t even send anyone to check, and came in without saying a word!


    even if he comes in, he is not in a hurry to let his people take over the management of the capital but go to xie chengze first?


    is he¡­anxious to take xie chengze¡¯s life?


    xie chengze¡¯s residence.


    after xie chengze arranged everything, he returned home.


    he changed into red clothes and waited for lu yanzhou¡¯s arrival.


    they haven¡¯t seen each other for many years. lu yanzhou has always said that he wants to see him. he should be happy to see him?


    after telling the servants to leave, xie chengze waited alone in the yard for lu yanzhou¡¯s arrival.


    lu yanzhou came to the capital very quickly, but he probably wouldn¡¯t come to see him so quickly.


    lu yanzhou, who had just entered the capital, should have wanted to understand the situation first.


    but he was willing to wait, even if it took a few days, it didn¡¯t matter.


    in fact, he was most afraid that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want to see him, that he would rather send someone to arrest him and send him to prison instead.


    if that were to happen, he would have no choice but to kill himself quickly.


    as soon as xie chengze thought of this, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.


    a group of people on horseback came over, and these people rode very fast!


    xie chengze frowned.


    the team stopped at the door of his residence, and then the door of his house was smashed open¡­xie chengze¡¯s heart sank.


    are lu yanzhou¡¯s men here to arrest him?


    xie chengze was a little disappointed.


    the red clothes he was wearing were the most gorgeous clothes he had ever worn in his life. it was similar to a woman¡¯s wedding dress.


    he wanted lu yanzhou to take a look.


    like this¡­maybe lu yanzhou will remember him for the rest of his life?


    but now, lu yanzhou is not here?


    just as xie chengze thought this, he saw a strong man with a beard rushing in. he opened his mouth and shouted: ¡°aze, i miss you so much!¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± is this lu yanzhou?!


    well, this is indeed lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou¡­came to see him just after entering the city?


    xie chengze was pleasantly surprised, but also a little scared. then he saw the slovenly man rushed forward, hugged him, then kissed him on the mouth: ¡°aze, long time no see.¡±


    xie chengze was stunned.


    the people originally standing at the door, as well as those who followed lu yanzhou, were also stunned.


    everyone was stunned, except for lu yanzhou who not only picked up xie chengze and weighed him, but also said: ¡°aze, you have lost weight! and you look good in this red dress!¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± this situation is not quite right.

 CH 170

    when lu yanzhou headed towards xie chengze¡¯s residence, his confidants and the most elite soldiers around him followed him.


    when they arrived, they saw that xie chengze¡¯s residence door was closed but there were many people standing at the door.


    these people are xie chengze¡¯s confidants and servants, including sheng yuan.


    xie chengze refused to let sheng yuan follow him and even kicked the servants out. sheng yuan and the others were very anxious, fearing that something might happen to xie chengze.


    at this time, lu yanzhou came with a group of people, so sheng yuan and others were naturally very nervous.


    then they heard the big man leading them ask them: ¡°is xie chengze in there?¡±


    looking at this man¡¯s clothing, and with tian qi and others following him, sheng yuan knew that he should be yan hang: ¡°lord qiansui is inside.¡±


    sheng yuan thought that yan hang would have someone call out to the door next, but yan hang directly jumped off his horse, pushed the door hard, and broke in.


    what a big movement! what does yan hang want to do?


    sheng yuan asked others not to let down xie chengze¡¯s hard work and live well, but he actually planned to follow xie chengze.


    he used to live because he wanted to take revenge, but now that the great revenge has been avenged, he doesn¡¯t want to live anymore.


    as a eunuch, what can he do even if he survives? serving people in the palace?


    since eunuchs have done such earth-shattering things, it¡¯s impossible for yan hang to still let them have power, right?


    sheng yuan was very anxious and quickly went to see what was happening in the yard. then, he saw yan hang hugging their lord qiansui and even kissed him.


    sheng yuan was dumbfounded.


    tian qi, who hurriedly followed, was also dumbfounded.


    others who saw this scene, such as wang tingyun who squeezed forward because he was worried about his nephew, were also dumbfounded.


    xie jia was the only one who was very calm. it¡¯s not like he had never seen this situation before. back then, the two of them, one called out ¡¯aze¡¯ and the other ¡®lu lang¡¯. they were really indescribably intimate.


    the people in front were dumbfounded, so the people behind who didn¡¯t understand the situation couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°why don¡¯t you move forward?¡±


    ¡°we are general yan¡¯s personal soldiers. we have to follow him¡­¡±


    ¡­


    xie jia scolded those people: ¡°don¡¯t push forward! you¡¯re going to disturb general!¡±


    lu yanzhou looked at xie jia speechlessly ¡ª those people didn¡¯t disturb him, it was xie jia¡¯s loud shout that disturbed him.


    xie chengze suddenly woke up and realized that he was not dreaming at this moment.


    he is indeed being held by lu yanzhou now, and is off the ground!


    lu yanzhou¡¯s attitude towards him remained the same as before, as if they had never been separated.


    but they have been separated for several years!


    lu yanzhou has grown a beard!


    however, the most important thing at this time is not these, but¡­xie chengze saw a group of people crowded at the door, and they all looked at him in shock.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± he has been making waves in the capital these days. even the people around him are afraid of him.


    now that he¡¯s like this¡­isn¡¯t it a bit embarrassing?


    xie chengze was so confused that he didn¡¯t know how to react for a moment. in the end, he just said: ¡°put me down.¡±


    lu yanzhou put him down and praised again: ¡°aze, you are so beautiful.¡±


    xie chengze must have deliberately dressed up so beautifully. the fiery red clothes made his complexion even fairer.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t hold back and kissed xie chengze regardless of the consequences again.


    well, there won¡¯t actually be any consequences. his men should have known that their ¡®madame¡¯ was xie chengze!


    as for xie chengze¡¯s men¡­many of them have actually known him for a long time.


    when he didn¡¯t have his beard he was so brave. when he and xie chengze were together, what did they not do?


    he even fed xie chengze in front of the emperor!


    xie chengze really hoped that lu yanzhou would be amazed by his appearance, but now that lu yanzhou looks at him like a hungry wolf¡­


    xie chengze felt a little uncomfortable. he then noticed lu yanzhou¡¯s messy beard and dust all over his body: ¡°how long have you not taken a bath?¡±


    ¡°not long, just ten days¡­¡± lu yanzhou coughed lightly. how could he care to take a bath when marching? even such a fastidious person like wang tingyun didn¡¯t even take a bath. he smelled like salted fish! with this in mind, lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze¡¯s face again, not forgetting to express his gratitude: ¡°aze, when i learned that you killed the emperor, i quickly come here without stopping or delaying¡­¡±


    ¡°go take a bath first!¡± said xie chengze. he needs to calm down now, after all, this is so unexpected!


    lu yanzhou actually didn¡¯t want to kill him, but even acted coquettishly with him with a big beard on his face!


    ¡°okay¡­¡± lu yanzhou sighed. he knew that xie chengze would definitely dislike his current appearance.


    he needed to take a bath right away.


    with this in mind, lu yanzhou said to xie jia and his cheap godson sheng yuan: ¡°little jia, go and settle the brother who comes to the city! sheng yuan, go help him! if there is anything that needs attention, you can just say it!¡±


    ¡°yes, general!¡± xie jia responded.


    lu yanzhou then asked xie chengze¡¯s steward who was also crowded at the door: ¡°uncle zhang, is there hot water in the kitchen? i want to take a bath.¡±


    the steward old zhang was stunned for a moment and then said: ¡°there is hot water, but it¡¯s probably not that hot.¡±


    uncle zhang, ask someone to boil some water.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    old zhang stared at lu yanzhou for a moment, then he finally recognized lu yanzhou: ¡°oh! it¡¯s you kid! i¡¯ll have someone boil the water right away.¡±


    lao zhang quickly took the servant, who was kicked out by xie chengze, straight to the kitchen.


    it takes time to boil water, so he can¡¯t take a bath for the time being. it¡¯s not good to leave a hero like tian qi behind too.


    lu yanzhou looked at tian qi again: ¡°general tian, ??i want to thank you for taking control of the capital today¡­you haven¡¯t had a good rest these days, right? go home and take a bath and rest for the night. we will talk in detail tomorrow.¡±


    among the generals who followed xie chengze around tian qi, lu yanzhou was familiar with some of them. he had even taught these people when he was at the manor!


    thus, lu yanzhou asked them to arrange for some people to come over and guard xie chengze¡¯s house. he also asked his own soldiers to go into the house and rest in the courtyard for the guests: ¡°the house may be a bit crowded.¡±


    the steward, old zhang, came out of the kitchen at this moment: ¡°no one lives in the yard next door now. the young generals can stay next door!¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s great. uncle zhang, make arrangements and prepare some delicious food for them. they have a big appetite! and me! i¡¯ll have the usual!¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°okay!¡± the steward lao zhang immediately agreed. he liked lu yanzhou very much. although he didn¡¯t know why this man came back alive after he died, since lord qiansui had a calm look on his face, he should have known it for a long time. therefore, he only has to obey the orders. that¡¯s it.


    thus, old zhang frantically arranged accommodation for the people around lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze, who was considered very calm by lao zhang: ¡°¡­¡± he is not calm at all. he no longer knows how to react!


    faced with this situation, besides straightening his face, what else could he do?


    lu yanzhou made various arrangements and then looked at xie chengze: ¡°aze, let¡¯s go inside, there are too many people here!¡±


    so many people were staring at him and xie chengze, it will affect their romance!


    xie chengze turned around and left. well, he can go back to his room now!


    when lu yanzhou saw xie chengze leaving, he quickly followed him: ¡°aze, i prepared a lot of gifts for you, but it¡¯s a pity i couldn¡¯t bring most of them¡­¡±


    the two of them just walked away, and sheng yuan finally realized something at this moment: ¡°he ¡­he¡­¡±


    he knows this guy!


    isn¡¯t this the yamen servant that his godfather snatched back as a shield? he even investigated this person!


    and the ¡®little jia¡¯ in front of him, the famous ¡®general jia¡¯ next to yan hang, isn¡¯t this xie jia? he even brought this person back from nanshan to guard lu yanzhou!


    both of them had beards, and they hadn¡¯t seen each other for so many years so he didn¡¯t recognize them at first!


    xie jia said: ¡°eunuch sheng, it¡¯s getting late. let¡¯s go get the brothers settled as soon as possible!¡±


    it¡¯s almost dark, so xie jia was anxious to get things done.


    sheng yuan was taken away by xie jia.


    when he was taken away, his expression was still confused and dazed. is yan hang actually lu yanzhou?


    does lord qiansui know about this?


    well, lord qiansui obviously knows.


    no wonder lord qiansui always said that yan hang was a very nice person and said that yan hang would not do anything to them.


    but¡­but¡­why does he feel something is wrong?


    wang tingyun had only seen lu yanzhou from a distance before, so he didn¡¯t recognize lu yanzhou.


    the main reason is that he has been getting along with yan hang during this time and feels that yan hang is talented and resourceful. he has long admired yan hang. under such circumstances, he will naturally not associate yan hang with the good-for-nothing scoundrel lu yanzhou.


    when he saw this scene, he suddenly realized that yan hang and his nephew xie chengze should have known each other for a long time and had a close relationship.


    no, this cannot be summed up simply by saying ¡®very close relationship¡¯.


    they kissed!


    yan hang kept saying that he came to the capital to save his ¡®madam¡¯. could the ¡®madam¡¯ in yan hang¡¯s mouth be xie chengze?!


    wang tingyun thought of this, and lu yanzhou¡¯s other subordinates naturally thought of it too.


    everyone looked at each other, a little confused ¨C the beautiful and wealthy madam who had always supported their lord¡¯s great cause in their imagination turned out to be xie chengze?


    but if one thinks about it carefully, it does make sense.


    with so many supplies and treasures, besides xie chengze, only those big families could get them, right? but¡­their general has always disliked those influential families.


    they were in a daze, and next to them, tian qi, who had planned to die with xie chengze, was confused.


    this situation is not right!


    lord qiansui, who waved his hand to make clouds and rain, was actually hugged and kissed!


    lord qiansui and yan hang actually have such a relationship?


    so when lord qiansui told him before that he would tell yan hang to let him go, was it not a lie?


    it seems like lord qiansui¡­can really do it!


    everyone was still dumbfounded when the steward ols zhang came out: ¡°what are you doing standing still? it¡¯s dark, i¡¯m closing the door!¡±


    the door of xie¡¯s residence was closed just like that, so tian qi could only leave with a wooden expression on his face.


    as he walked back, many people saw his expression.


    tian qi looked so lost¡­could it be that xie chengze was dead?


    the surviving influential families in the capital burst into tears of joy.

 CH 171

    lu yanzhou followed xie chengze back to the courtyard where xie chengze lived.


    he had lived here for a long time before, and now that he¡¯s back again, he found that the place was exactly the same as before he left.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but hug xie chengze again: ¡°aze, i really miss you.¡±


    on the way back to the room, xie chengze kept thinking about what lu yanzhou wanted to do.


    he couldn¡¯t understand lu yanzhou¡¯s behavior.


    it was impossible for lu yanzhou to really be deeply in love with him and want to be with him for the rest of his life, right?


    therefore, for what purpose did lu yanzhou still act in front of him?


    at most¡­lu yanzhou still has some feelings for him now and doesn¡¯t want to let him go for the time being.


    however, these few moments of affection still won¡¯t give him the long-lasting companion he wanted.


    compared to some people, lu yanzhou, who was born in poverty, is indeed dedicated to benefiting the people, but this cannot hide the fact that he is an ambitious person.


    lu yanzhou has conquered most of the country, so he should be able to ascend the throne as emperor in this short period of time. how could such a person be with a eunuch like him for the rest of his life?


    if lu yanzhou was a useless little yamen servant, he would naturally keep lu yanzhou with him so that lu yanzhou could not escape from him.


    but now lu yanzhou is someone he can¡¯t control.


    if lu yanzhou wanted to marry an empress or take in an imperial concubine in the future, he could do nothing about it.


    he might even be disliked and thrown aside.


    lu yanzhou had already let go of xie chengze: ¡°oh¡­i think i¡¯m quite smelly.¡±


    xie chengze lowered his eyelids, then quickly raised his gaze to look at lu yanzhou, and then met lu yanzhou¡¯s focused gaze.


    he didn¡¯t know how sincere lu yanzhou was towards him at the moment, but he couldn¡¯t deny that he wanted to be with lu yanzhou and liked lu yanzhou¡¯s affectionate appearance.


    over the years, he had thought about lu yanzhou day and night, looking forward to seeing lu yanzhou again.


    now that lu yanzhou has met him, he even has plans to renew their old relationship¡­


    maybe he shouldn¡¯t think too much about the future.


    back then, he only wanted to cherish what was in front of him, so it was naturally the same now.


    xie chengze smiled and kissed lu yanzhou¡¯s face: ¡°i don¡¯t mind. lu lang, i miss you too!¡±


    lu yanzhou laughed, grabbed xie chengze¡¯s hand and kissed it.


    ¡°lu lang, you look very heroic with the long beard.¡± xie chengze added. he once thought that he was simply attracted to lu yanzhou¡¯s face, but it was obviously not the case.


    he still likes lu yanzhou even now when he doesn¡¯t show his whole face.


    ¡°do you like me like this? then i will keep this beard for a few more days,¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°but after a few days, i will definitely have to shave it off. this beard is too troublesome.¡±


    in this era, many people thought having a beard is very nice, but lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t appreciate it.


    he felt more comfortable without a beard.


    he originally was going to cut off his beard when he took a bath, but if xie chengze liked it, he would leave it on for a few more days, then he would find a suitable time to shave it off.


    ¡°no matter what lu lang looks like, i like you.¡± said xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou immediately said: ¡°me too!¡±


    the two of them were very affectionate, then a servant suddenly came over and said that the water was boiled and asked lu yanzhou to take a bath.


    lu yanzhou immediately said: ¡°i¡¯ll go right away!¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s residence had a special washroom. lu yanzhou went in and saw a soap placed there.


    he gave xie chengze a recipe for making soap two years ago. xie chengze should have found someone to make it.


    as for his side¡­this thing requires the consumption of grease, which is very precious in this era. the cost is too high, so he has never done it in his own territory.


    he has been very busy these years and has never even taken a proper bath.


    xie chengze followed in and asked lu yanzhou: ¡°lu lang, do you want me to bathe with you?¡±


    lu yanzhou resisted the temptation: ¡°it¡¯s okay for now. you wait while i wash myself first.¡± letting xie chengze soak in the dirty water from him, it¡¯s too glaring for him to see!


    after thinking about it, lu yanzhou asked: ¡°aze, do you have a loofah?¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± is lu yanzhou¡¯s skin so thick?


    xie chengze finally brought a piece of linen cloth to lu yanzhou, and after a while, a large bucket of dirty water appeared from lu yanzhou scrubbing himself.


    after scrubbing, lu yanzhou felt much more relaxed. he asked someone to change the bucket of water, and then looked at xie chengze: ¡°aze, let¡¯s bathe together?¡±


    there¡¯s no need to hold back now!


    tonight many people in the capital did not sleep well.


    after all, since xie chengze killed the emperor, the capital has now changed again.


    yan hang¡¯s army entered the capital, they didn¡¯t know what would happen next.


    the influential families in the capital are having a revelry right now ¨C they won¡¯t die now!


    ¡°xie chengze didn¡¯t fight yan hang¡­¡±


    ¡°he probably knew he couldn¡¯t beat him, so he didn¡¯t fight!¡±


    ¡°i heard that xie chengze died? is it true?¡±


    ¡°after yan hang entered the capital, he went to find xie chengze, and then tian qi left in despair¡­it should be true.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is so crazy and kills so many people, he probably doesn¡¯t want to live anymore!¡±


    ¡­


    these people gathered together and secretly burst into tears after talking about the news they knew.


    they can finally get rid of xie chengze!


    they finally don¡¯t have to worry anymore!


    so what if yan hang doesn¡¯t like influential families? at least yan hang won¡¯t kill people randomly!


    the influential families were very happy, but the ordinary people were very scared. after the panic, everything returned to normal.


    after all, they can¡¯t do anything and can only passively accept everything.


    as for the people on xie chengze¡¯s side¡­


    only a few people saw xie chengze and lu yanzhou being intimate.


    sheng yuan knew lu yanzhou¡¯s identity, but he still felt uneasy ¨C so what if yan hang was once xie chengze¡¯s pillow man? if yan hang felt that his previous experience was humiliating, he might even hate xie chengze.


    even if yan hang accepts everything in the past and still has feelings for xie chengze¡­how long can this feeling last?


    in history, there are countless cases where emperors loved someone very much, but later killed them without hesitation.


    because of this, sheng yuan never mentioned that yan hang was actually lu yanzhou, who had been doted on by xie chengze. he just calmed their people down, then cooperated with xie jia to settle lu yanzhou¡¯s men.


    as for tian qi, he was full of doubts but he had nowhere to ask anyone. seeing that it was getting dark, he simply went home, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.


    in contrast, lu yanzhou¡¯s subordinates¡­a surprising news spread among some of them ¡ª it turned out that the madam that their lord had always been thinking about was xie chengze!


    their madam is a man and a eunuch!


    ¡°it¡¯s not surprising if you think about it carefully. both weapons and food were sent¡­only xie chengze, who can cover the sky with one hand, can be so generous, right?¡±


    ¡°and when we come to the capital, they directly open the city gate!¡±


    ¡°he must really be devoted to the milord.¡±


    ¡°i heard that he is very beautiful!¡±


    ¡°you don¡¯t know that when milord was in the capital, xie chengze was completely obedient to him!¡±


    ¡°there¡¯s something like that? tell me quickly.¡±


    ¡°i can¡¯t say more about this, but you will understand it later!¡±


    ¡­


    the people who know about this are the senior generals under lu yanzhou. some of these people have been with lu yanzhou from the beginning and know about lu yanzhou and xie chengze. the thing is, as for the rest, most of them were born in poverty, and many of them have never gone to school or study.


    such people accept the matter between lu yanzhou and xie chengze very quickly.


    among everyone, only wang tingyun and wang pinghou, father and son, were still at a loss.


    yan hang and xie chengze actually have such a relationship?


    yan hang and xie chengze have such a relationship, and these people actually accept it well?


    what happened to them?!


    also, what should the wang family do in this situation?


    wang tingyun came to the capital with him because he wanted to help yan hang stabilize the capital to earn credit, but now that yan hang has xie chengze to help, they aren¡¯t needed here¡­


    the father and son were assigned to a room. by coincidence, this was the former wang¡¯s residence.


    however, after the wang family left the capital, the residence was occupied by xie chengze¡¯s men, and now it is used to house yan hang¡¯s men.


    ¡°father, yan hang and xie chengze are like this¡­are we really going to serve him?¡± wang pinghou was a little reluctant.


    he had inquiries and found out about xie chengze¡¯s killing spree in the capital, so he had a strong opinion of xie chengze.


    ¡°if you don¡¯t serve him, who will you serve?¡± wang tingyun asked.


    wang pinghou turned quiet.


    wang tingyun thought for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth to his son: ¡°besides¡­i have one more thing to tell you.¡±


    wang pinghou listened attentively.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°xie chengze is your cousin. do you still remember that your second uncle had a child who died young, he died just after birth? in fact, the child was not dead. he was xie chengze.¡±


    wang pinghou almost fainted.


    when wang tingyun saw his son looking like the sky was about to fall, his mood suddenly improved, so he lay on the bed and went to sleep.


    he used to be exhausted and worried about the future of the wang family all day long, so his sleep is very bad.


    then, recently he was marching with the army¡­now he can fall asleep in any messy place.


    as for the matter between xie chengze and yan hang¡­let¡¯s wait until tomorrow!


    early the next morning, both those who had not slept all night or those who had slept all night came to xie chengze¡¯s residence early, waiting for orders from lu yanzhou and xie chengze.


    the steward old zhang opened the door early and invited those few people in, then served them tea. however, lu yanzhou and xie chengze were nowhere to be seen.


    tian qi couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°where are lord qiansui and general yan?¡±


    old zhang already knew lu yanzhou¡¯s current identity. he had served xie chengze for so many years and knew that many things should not be said, so he never told anyone about lu yanzhou¡¯s past at all. he only said, ¡°several lords, my master and general yan are in the room¡­old slave dare not go in to call them ah!¡±


    ¡°they were in the room all along?¡± tian qi asked.


    ¡°mm. after all, they haven¡¯t seen each other for many years, so they want to catch up on old times.¡±


    tian qi: ¡°¡­¡± looking at old zhang¡¯s expression, it was obvious that this wasn¡¯t just catching up with old times.


    tian qi sat blankly for a moment and then asked sheng yuan: ¡°eunuch sheng, do you know general yan?¡±


    sheng yuan said: ¡°yes.¡±


    ¡°what the hell is going on?¡±


    sheng yuan yawned: ¡°i also am not too clear about it so i won¡¯t say more!¡±


    tian qi: ¡°¡­¡±


    the steward old zhang then asked with a smile: ¡°everyone, would you want something to eat?¡±


    of course tian qi and the others want it. everyone in the capital knows that the food in xie chengze¡¯s residence is delicious, so if one doesn¡¯t eat it, they won¡¯t get it!


    sure enough, the steward old zhang served up some sweet and savory egg sponge cakes, as well as various other delicacies.


    while they were eating, they saw xie jia coming.


    ¡°why did general jia just come?¡± tian qi asked.


    xie jia said: ¡°master and general are reunited after a long serration, there is no way they will get up early, so i simply came over late.¡±


    so that¡¯s it¡­wait, xie jia called xie chengze ¡®master¡¯?


    the general next to yan hang calls xie chengze master?


    while tian qi was still in shock, lu yanzhou finally arrived.


    seeing everyone sitting at the table eating, lu yanzhou sat down to eat without saying a word, then said to old zhang: ¡°uncle zhang, please ask the kitchen to make some porridge.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s already cooked, and still warm! it¡¯s lord qiansui¡¯s favorite chicken shredded porridge, which also contains the dry goods you sent back.¡± said old zhang.


    ¡°that¡¯s good! tell someone to bring it over. i¡¯ll take it back to the room after i finish eating.¡± with that, lu yanzhou speeded up his eating speed and said to everyone: ¡°aze said that he has been under his control, so nothing should have happened in this short period of time, right? you guys can just follow his previous rules, then come see me later.¡±


    the unspecific time is from 1 to 3 in the afternoon, lu yanzhou feels that he should be free by then.


    he and xie chengze have so many troops altogether, the capital will definitely stabilize, so there is really no need to worry.


    tian qi and others agreed, and then saw a servant bringing a bowl of porridge. lu yanzhou picked up the porridge and left in a hurry.


    he really comes and goes like the wind!


    also, is this porridge for xie chengze? he actually brought porridge back to the room for xie chengze to eat?


    xie jia was not surprised and said to old zhang: ¡°old zhang, there is not enough food¡­¡±


    ¡°there are still some in the kitchen. i will ask someone to get them.¡± old zhang smiled.


    xie jia added: ¡°uncle zhang, ask them to bring me a plate of tofu! the tofu in the residence is different from those outside. i had long been thinking about it.¡±


    sheng yuan said: ¡°bring me a plate of sauerkraut, it has to be made by old yu.¡±


    tian qi suddenly felt like he was being left out.


    lu yanzhou had just arrived at the bedroom with the porridge when he saw xie chengze leaning on the bed, already awake.


    ¡°aze, i brought the porridge back, let¡¯s eat something first.¡± lu yanzhou brought in the porridge, then came to the bedside, placed it on the bedside table, and then took a pillow to cushion xie chengze¡¯s waist.


    xie chengze smiled at lu yanzhou: ¡°lu lang, you are so nice to me!¡±


    lu yanzhou kissed him: ¡°if i am not nice to you, who should i be nice to?¡±


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou¡¯s neck and returned the kiss.


    he was a little regretful that he had killed people too happily before. lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know about it yet. if lu yanzhou knew¡­he would definitely be angry, right?


    this situation now is a bit bad.


    he didn¡¯t know how long the sweetness between him and lu yanzhou could last.

 CH 172

    the shredded chicken porridge the kitchen cook contains sea cucumbers specially sent to the capital by lu yanzhou. it is not only delicious but also nutritious.


    lu yanzhou fed it to xie chengze, and when xie chengze was full, he ate the rest.


    he has a great appetite now!


    after eating, lu yanzhou asked xie chengze: ¡°do you want to sleep for a while?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°i can¡¯t sleep but i still want to lie down for a while.¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°then i will lie down with you for a while.¡±


    the two lay down together on the bed, and lu yanzhou kissed chengze from time to time.


    he really liked xie chengze from the bottom of his heart, so after seeing him, he wanted to kiss him.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± lu yanzhou¡¯s beard is really annoying!


    but he really doesn¡¯t hate beards.


    people always yearn for things they cannot have. after being intimate for a while, lu yanzhou asked: ¡°aze, how is the capital now?¡±


    xie chengze froze, then said: ¡°i killed many people and ransacked many people¡¯s homes. now the remaining officials and influential families in the capital are all keeping to themselves and don¡¯t dare make trouble, so now there is a lot of money in the treasury.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good!¡± lu yanzhou was very happy.


    this is indeed a good thing for lu yanzhou, but not for xie chengze. xie chengze said: ¡°those people also hate me to death¡­lu lang, they all want me to die.¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°it¡¯s alright. as long as the military power is in our hands, they won¡¯t be able to cause any waves. scholar¡¯s rebellion lasted three years1intellectuals people were dissatisfied with their status quo and had some resistance but they are weak and timid¡±


    xie chengze could suppress those people alone in the capital, and now that he is here¡­those people will definitely be pinned to the ground.


    lu yanzhou is confident in this.


    xie chengze was in a good mood when he heard lu yanzhou words, so he said: ¡°lu lang, you must protect me.¡±


    ¡°i won¡¯t let anything happen to you,¡± lu yanzhou continued, ¡°aze, i will definitely ascend the throne in a few days, what do you want to do then? be an official or should i make you a king?¡±


    xie chengze was stunned, he didn¡¯t think lu yanzhou would mention this.


    he thought that even if lu yanzhou let him live, he would only use him as a plaything. he might even tell the outside world that he was dead and make him live under a different identity, and hide him in the harem.


    as a result¡­lu yanzhou wanted to make him king?


    although he thought so, xie chengze said: ¡°why don¡¯t you let me be the empress?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°you want to be the empress? then we can be together.¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t mention this because he was afraid that xie chengze would not want to. after all, xie chengze is also a man.


    however, if xie chengze wants to, that is the best!


    from now on, xie chengze can be king during the day and empress at night, ahem.


    xie chengze stared at lu yanzhou and was stunned when he realized that lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t seem like he¡¯s joking.


    lu yanzhou asked: ¡°aze, how many troops and horses do you have now?¡±


    xie chengze suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this ¡ª so lu yanzhou made such a promise to him for the sake of the troops and horses in his hands?


    he had long planned to give the troops and horses he had to lu yanzhou, in fact, lu yanzhou could take over them yesterday.


    however, lu yanzhou obviously didn¡¯t know that, and even came here to coax him¡­


    the joy in xie chengze¡¯s heart was wiped away, so he said: ¡°there are fifty thousand.¡±


    the fifty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands are all elites! strong soldiers and strong horses!


    after all, he had taken advantage of the imperial family and the influential families. he definitely had more soldiers than lu yanzhou, and his weapons were not bad either.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°that¡¯s enough. let them garrison the capital when the time comes, i¡¯ll give you a military position too.¡±


    lu yanzhou knew that his men might not be content, let alone listen to xie chengze.


    it would be bad if they were deceived into dealing with xie chengze.


    therefore, it is best to let xie chengze¡¯s people guard the capital and protect xie chengze.


    xie chengze was stunned again.


    this is different from what he thought!


    lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t ask him for military power, and he also plans to let him continue to control the army?


    he had killed the emperor before, is lu yanzhou not afraid that he would kill the emperor again on a whim one day?


    xie chengze was thinking about various things but lu yanzhou had already begun to ask xie chengze how to organize the next morning court.


    lu yanzhou had too few people on hand, which was not enough, so he could only ask xie chengze if there were suitable people who could help him.


    xie chengze was in a daze, but when lu yanzhou asked him a question, he still answered, however his reaction was a bit slow.


    seeing him like this, lu yanzhou just thought he was a little tired because he hadn¡¯t slept well: ¡°aze, are you tired? take a good rest.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°i¡¯m not tired, let¡¯s continue talking.¡±


    xie chengze regained his senses and suddenly realized that lu yanzhou may be sincere towards him.


    even if he is not sincere¡­lu yanzhou now acts like he is sincere.


    that being the case, should he fight for it?


    if lu yanzhou wants to use his people, let lu yanzhou use them!


    if lu yanzhou wants to make him king, let lu yanzhou make him king!


    if lu yanzhou wants to give him military power, let lu yanzhou do it!


    there is no need for him to wait patiently for lu yanzhou to show mercy, he can definitely work hard for it!


    he is not afraid of death, so what else is he afraid of?


    he wants to be the empress, he wants to control the military, and he wants to grab all kinds of rights!


    lu yanzhou might have just said it casually and had no intention of actually giving it to him, but what was he afraid of? the worst possible outcome is death!


    if lu yanzhou really gave him so much power¡­


    if he had enough power, it would be difficult for lu yanzhou to abandon him, right?


    thinking like this, xie chengze became more energetic and immediately started discussing with lu yanzhou.


    they discussed it until late, and then went out to meet people together. on the way there, they also had a quick lunch.


    they were so immersed in talking that they didn¡¯t even eat lunch.


    tian qi, sheng yuan, xie jia and other confidants of lu yanzhou and xie chengze came to xie chengze¡¯s residence at noon to wait.


    they were entertained by the steward old zhang again. after eating and drinking, lu yanzhou and xie chengze finally arrived.


    lu yanzhou was still the same, but he looked more high-spirited.


    as for xie chengze¡­xie chengze was already good-looking, but now that he was standing next to lu yanzhou, he was so beautiful that no one dared to look directly at him.


    in fact, men should not be described as beautiful, but xie chengze gives them this feeling.


    ¡°everyone is here. come, let¡¯s discuss what to do next. aze and i have already discussed this. this is our plan¡­¡± lu yanzhou got straight to the point and started talking about it directly.


    he was definitely going to ascend the throne, so he wasn¡¯t going to waste time putting on a show and asking people to invite him several times. thus, he asked sheng yuan to choose a time for him to ascend the throne as soon as possible.


    then there are things like how to rewards the heroes who followed him to conquer the world, how to deal with the remaining forces of sun chongshao and the remaining rebel bandits in various places!


    of course, lu yanzhou also talked about the arrangements for xie chengze.


    sheng yuan and tian qi became more and more shocked as they listened.


    especially tian qi, he suspected that he was dreaming.


    is yan hang crazy? he actually wants to make a former eunuch a king and empress?


    normal people would never be able to do such a thing!


    even sheng yuan thinks it¡¯s not possible. others don¡¯t know, but he knows very well that his godfather¡¯s reputation is already extremely bad.


    the influential families have reached the point where they will fight his godfather to death. as for the ordinary people¡­


    the influential families have been scolding his godfather for more than ten years and accusing him of various crimes. the ordinary people have long spread words that his godfather is a devil who does all kinds of evil and even eats children!


    if lu yanzhou insists on naming his godfather king¡­lu yanzhou will probably be boycotted by everyone!


    even if lu yanzhou had military power, he would be able to stabilize the situation sooner or later, but this would not be conducive to his rule.


    sheng yuan thought of this, and xie chengze certainly thought of it too.


    he was determined to die before and didn¡¯t care much about his reputation.


    of course, it¡¯s useless even if he cares. when most scholar people are against him, even if he tries hard to refute the rumors, no one will believe him.


    thus, he simply ignored those rumors, so he became more reckless during the previous period.


    but now¡­


    with such a reputation, how can he fight for power? how to stand beside lu yanzhou?


    xie chengze¡¯s thoughts changed quickly and he looked at lu yanzhou: ¡°general, i have something to say.¡±


    ¡°what?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i want to change my identity.¡±


    lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze in confusion.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i want to change my name and surname, then be crowned king and empress in another identity. i don¡¯t need the name xie chengze!¡±


    ¡°but everyone knows you¡­¡±


    ¡°so what? those people don¡¯t dare to recognize you!¡± xie chengze stood up confidently, ¡°they are all afraid of me!¡±


    after saying that, xie chengze suddenly became enlightened.


    he can completely change his identity and start over!


    as for everyone recognizing his face¡­it really didn¡¯t matter. he believed that even if the officials in the capital recognized him, they would not dare to say anything and would only be frightened and trembled.


    xie chengze even began to imagine how those people would be frightened by him!


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°this is really unnecessary. aze, your reputation before was not good, but history books are written by the victors. when the time comes, we will write down your achievements. by then, everyone will know everything you have done is all people¡¯s sake¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou wants to clear xie chengze¡¯s name. he wants everyone in the world to know that xie chengze is a good person!


    he didn¡¯t want anyone in future generations to think of xie gonggong as a treacherous minister when they mentioned him in the last years of the yan dynasty.


    he wanted xie chengze to stand upright in the sun.


    xie chengze deserves it all.


    as for him, lu yanzhou, he just liked xie chengze. they had known each other many years ago and had gone through ups and downs together until they grew old together before.


    isn¡¯t this good? why does xie chengze need to change his identity?


    xie chengze said: ¡°i don¡¯t want to be an eunuch anymore, and i don¡¯t want future generations to mention me as just a eunuch.¡±


    lu yanzhou frowned in thought.


    speaking of which, lu yanzhou has been accumulating merit over the years.


    however, starting war is never a good thing. from time to time, the merits and demerits cancel each other out, so he hasn¡¯t accumulated enough merits to heal xie chengze¡¯s body now..


    there was no way to cure xie chengze for the time being. if he told xie chengze about such a fantasy thing, xie chengze would probably not believe it, so he never told xie chengze that he could cure xie chengze before.


    for xie chengze, being physically disabled should be very painful. xie chengze must hate his past. in this case, it is actually good for xie chengze to change his identity and start over, right?


    lu yanzhou also respected xie chengze¡¯s choice, so he immediately said: ¡°alright¡­aze, what identity do you want to change to?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°just say that i am a member of the wang family, i will discuss it with wang tingyun.¡±


    since he wanted to change his identity, he must choose someone more noble, so xie chengze decided to become a member of the wang family.


    wang tingyun was not considered lu yanzhou¡¯s confidant, so he was not qualified to come to this meeting today.


    xie chengze planned to discuss it with wang tingyun later.


    well, it was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was just him informing wang tingyun that there was no way he could stop what he wanted to do!


    when everyone in the capital knows that xie chengze is a member of the wang family¡­the wang family, whose entire family was saved, will definitely split from the other influential families. therefore, the two sides will probably fight, and those influential clans will never be able to revive.


    the wang family¡¯s development momentum will also be curbed.


    lu yanzhou thought about what happened between the original owner and young lady wang, so he wasn¡¯t very happy about xie chengze¡¯s choice to become a member of the wang family.


    but xie chengze said so¡­


    lu yanzhou agreed: ¡°okay, let¡¯s do this¡­we will continue to discuss and try to handle all the things that need to be dealt with tomorrow, then the courtiers will be summoned to morning court the day after tomorrow.¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t think much when he said this, but when tian qi, sheng yuan, and the others heard the word ¡®morning court¡¯, they felt a little sympathy for those officials.


    those officials had been tortured so much that when they heard the word ¡®xie chengze¡¯, their legs started to tremble.


    they all look forward to xie chengze¡¯s death, and seem to think that xie chengze is already dead¡­when they go to court the day after tomorrow, they wonder how they will feel when they see xie chengze standing next to the emperor and being named king and empress.

 CH 173

    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t understand at first why these people¡¯s expressions were so subtle when he mentioned going to morning court.


    but that night, when he went to look at the place where his men were settled in, after talking with his men, he understood the reason.


    what xie chengze did some time ago was really¡­quite naughty.


    several of lu yanzhou¡¯s subordinates talked to each other and told each other everything xie chengze had done. after finishing speaking, one of them who had followed lu yanzhou just two years ago said: ¡°my lord, i heard that lord qiansui is our madam?¡±


    ¡°yes.¡± lu yanzhou nodded.


    the man¡¯s expression was very subtle: ¡°lord qiansui seems to have a bad temper?¡±


    that¡¯s a man who killed others when he thought they were ugly! can their lord really bear it?


    ¡°how could that be? he has a very good temper,¡± lu yanzhou started talking about xie chengze. ¡°he killed all the people who deserved to be killed. he was just a little naughty to scare people.¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s men: ¡°¡­¡± so that is called naughty?


    ¡°those influential families are not good people. he did that for my own good, he was just helping me kill people in advance.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    on the original historical trajectory, xie chengze killed the emperor and some other people, but the total number of people who died at his hands was only one-fifth of those who died at his hands this time.


    xie chengze killed so many people, what reason could it be for? it is definitely because he wants to make it easier for him to take over the capital!


    xie chengze must have frightened the officials of the court in order to make it easier for him to use them.


    besides, these officials who were frightened by xie chengze will definitely peacefully work under him in the future!


    lu yanzhou¡¯s men also felt that it made sense when they heard what lu yanzhou said.


    it seems like¡­that¡¯s the thing?


    but in this case, it would be difficult for their lord to be with xie chengze, right?


    one of lu yanzhou¡¯s men said: ¡°my lord, those influential families have been smearing lord qiansui¡¯s reputation, how do we clear his name?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°this matter can slowly be taken care of. he plans to change his identity.¡±


    lu yanzhou finally knew why xie chengze wanted to change his identity!


    his status was hacked too miserably!


    well, xie chengze might have planned to change his identity in the first place, that¡¯s why he used various reasons to kill people and let others hack him.


    xie chengze actually came here with lu yanzhou. however, while lu yanzhou went to meet his men, xie chengze went to meet wang tingyun.


    the house where wang tingyun and wang pinghou lived was nice and clean, but there was very little furniture and only a worthless bed.


    the valuable things had been taken away by xie chengze long ago.


    ¡°lord qiansui.¡± when wang tingyun saw xie chengze, he stepped forward and saluted.


    with his status, he didn¡¯t actually need to salute xie chengze, but xie chengze¡¯s methods during this period made him dare not neglect him.


    ¡°sit down.¡± xie chengze waved his hand and took the lead in sitting down on the chair next to him.


    seeing this, wang tingyun sat on the other side and looked at xie chengze at the same time.


    xie chengze¡¯s face was rosy and he seemed to be in a good mood.


    if xie chengze hadn¡¯t been physically flaw, he would have been a tycoon with a deep scheming mind.


    in contrast, yan hang is a bit too kind. after the previous battle with sun chongshao, yan hang not only bandaged their wounded personally, but also gave his own food to the wounded.


    and during the march¡­when some soldiers were unwell, yan hang also gave up his horse.


    xie chengze and yan hang are together¡­wang tingyun feels that yan hang must be manipulated by xie chengze at this stage.


    as for the future¡­when yan hang ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he¡¯s afraid things will slowly change.


    ¡°why are you looking for me, lord qiansui?¡± wang tingyun asked. it was getting dark now but xie chengze came to see him. what happened?


    xie chengze said, ¡°i just want to tell you that i plan to disclose my identity.¡±


    ¡°what?¡± wang tingyun was confused.


    xie chengze smiled: ¡°i am from the wang family, aren¡¯t i?¡±


    wang tingyun clenched his fists: ¡°what do you want to do?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°i don¡¯t want to do anything, i just want to change my identity and live.¡±


    wang tingyun clenched his fists tighter, but in the end he only asked: ¡°what do you want me to do?¡±


    xie chengze was very satisfied with wang tingyun¡¯s flexibility: ¡°you don¡¯t need to do anything, just accept me as your nephew.¡±


    wang tingyun smiled stiffly: ¡°i will.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good, ¡°xie chengze stood up and left, ¡°general yan is still waiting for me, so i¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    ¡°take care.¡± wang tingyun stood up to see the guests off.


    when he was sent to the door, xie chengze suddenly stopped and whispered: ¡°by the way, there is one more thing i forgot to tell you.¡±


    wang tingyun¡¯s heart once again rose up, fearing that xie chengze would tell him something fatal again.


    xie chengze said: ¡°yan hang¡­is lu yanzhou.¡±


    wang tingyun didn¡¯t remember who lu yanzhou was at first, but when he remembered¡­his expression froze.


    xie chengze added: ¡°of course he¡¯s not the one from before.¡±


    xie chengze said something ambiguous, then turned around to leave.


    wang tingyun had seen lu yanzhou, so he would recognize him sooner or later.


    he didn¡¯t know what lu yanzhou was thinking and whether he still had feelings for his cousin, but he wanted to put an end to the wang family¡¯s thoughts.


    first, make wang tingyun feel that the lu yanzhou now is not the lu yanzhou before. as for the future¡­since he is a member of the wang family, he can naturally take good care of this group of people.


    after xie chengze left, wang tingyun didn¡¯t move for a long time.


    wang pinghou did not follow wang tingyun to see him off, so he did not hear what xie chengze said later.


    when xie chengze walked away, wang ping said: ¡°father, we can¡¯t let xie chengze disclose his identity!¡±


    if others knew that xie chengze was actually from the wang family¡­


    there was an eunuch in the family and he was the eunuch that brought trouble to the country and caused dayan to be destroyed. what face will they have left?


    in addition, the wang family has marriages with many influential families. these influential families were also harmed by xie chengze. many people in his wife¡¯s natal family were also killed by xie chengze.


    if they knew that xie chengze was from the wang family¡­how would he face them?


    when the time comes, the wang family will probably be attacked by other influential families!


    ignoring that, the relationship between xie chengze and yan hang¡­


    since ancient times, most people who have a relationship with the same sex have not ended well!


    if xie chengze is a woman and can give birth to several children for yan hang, then the wang family can accept xie chengze even if they risk the disapproval of the world. but xie chengze is not a woman, he is a eunuch!


    in the future, if yan hang got rid of xie chengze, the wang family will definitely not survive too.


    acknowledging xie chengze is definitely an arduous and thankless task.


    wang tingyun looked at his anxious son and sneered: ¡°even if we don¡¯t want to admit it, can we deny it?¡±


    wang pinghou froze.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°the zhou family is not much worse than us, but how many are left after xie chengze killed them? we, the wang family, have enough people for him to kill for days?¡±


    wang tingyun didn¡¯t want to recognize xie chengze either. after all, if he did, they would definitely be in big trouble.


    however, first, this is a fact, and second¡­they have no right to refuse it at all!


    they are meat on the chopping board now. if they don¡¯t obey, the knife will chop them off!


    wang pinghou was silent.


    wang tingyun said: ¡°we can only take one step at a time now.¡±


    they indeed can only do this now¡­


    xie chengze knew that wang tingyun and his son must be very entangled.


    but he doesn¡¯t care.


    he had already let the wang family off the hook, so the wang family should also give him something.


    xie chengze went to find lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou was talking with his subordinates. when he saw him, he strode towards him: ¡°aze, have you talked with the wang family?¡±


    ¡°we have already talked. wang tingyun already arranged an identity for me. i am his nephew, his biological younger brother¡¯s eldest son.¡± xie chengze smiled.


    ¡°that¡¯s good.¡± lu yanzhou was very satisfied with this identity, then he pulled xie chengze toward his subordinates, ¡°aze, let me introduce you to the people under my command¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou introduced his generals to xie chengze, and then he said to the generals: ¡°this is xie chengze, my family beautiful one. you can call him lord qiansui for now.¡±


    ¡°lord qiansui.¡± everyone called out obediently, and then looked at xie chengze curiously ¡ª this is the first time many of them saw this legendary powerful eunuch who could turn clouds and rain with his hands!


    xie chengze smiled at them and let them look at him.


    lu yanzhou, on the other hand, was anxious to go back: ¡°aze, let¡¯s go back, it¡¯s getting late!¡±


    xie chengze naturally followed lu yanzhou: ¡°okay.¡±


    the two got on the carriage, then lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, i heard that you did scare those officials a lot?¡±


    xie chengze had already thought of a reason to explain to lu yanzhou, and just as he was about to say it, lu yanzhou added: ¡°when they come to morning court in two days, their expressions will be very interesting when they see you! it¡¯s amusing just thinking about it!¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°did you do this because you want to see their silly appearance?¡±


    xie chengze really didn¡¯t have such an idea, but what else could he say now? he can only admit it.


    the next day, xie chengze called all his close men and told them that from now on he would be wang ze, a direct descendant of the wang family. as for his xie chengze identity¡­it was said that xie chengze had hanged himself.


    xie chengze¡¯s men have been worried these days, fearing that when yan hang comes, xie chengze will be dealt with and die as a result.


    they are also afraid that they will be implicated.


    as a result¡­xie chengze suddenly became a member of the wang family?


    none of them thought about the fact that xie chengze was really a member of the wang family, they only thought that this should be the identity assigned to xie chengze by yan hang.


    yan hang should have some sincerity towards their lord qiansui, but they just don¡¯t know what will happen in the future.


    while xie chengze was arranging his men, lu yanzhou also got angry with his men, and then released the news that xie chengze had hanged himself.


    in addition, lu yanzhou also released news that wang ze, a direct descendant of the wang family, had given him a lot of help, including food, weapons, and all sorts of possessions. he planned to crown wang ze king.


    lu yanzhou gives xie chengze a lot of credit. the things xie chengze did was not concealed and the thing that he did was also credited to xie chengze.


    considering these achievements, it is really unjustifiable not to grant xie chengze the title of king.


    therefore, when the news was known to those officials¡­


    they were first glad that xie chengze was dead.


    ¡°xie chengze is indeed dead!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is finally dead!¡±


    ¡°brother zhou, your great revenge was avenged!¡±


    ¡°hahahahaha!¡±


    ¡­


    then, they felt that the wang family was too treacherous: ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that the wang family would have done so much in private!¡±


    ¡°they are so cunning!¡±


    ¡°the wang family¡¯s vision is really good!¡±


    ¡°this is no longer a question of the wang family¡¯s good vision, but that the wang family actually owns so many things¡­then where did wang ze come from? and that yan hang¡­could he actually be a member of the wang family?¡±


    ¡­


    if yan hang is not a member of the wang family, then this doesn¡¯t make sense! how could the wang family give away so many things to outsiders for nothing?


    they are so capable, they can even rebel against dayan! one must know that many people who rebelled against dayan were those wealthy families.


    there was a lot of discussion, but no results came out of the discussion, but they got news that they have to go to court tomorrow.


    when they went to the court every day previously, their mood was the same as going to the grave. no, it was worse than going to the grave.


    after all, if one is not careful, they will end up in the grave.


    but now xie chengze is dead!


    they are free!


    all the officials who received the news were in a good mood. they put on cleanly washed court clothes then went to the entrance of the palace early in the morning.


    when they see acquaintances, they smile and greet one another.


    as the remnants of the former dynasty, they should be afraid, but xie chengze is dead!


    as long as the person sitting on the dragon throne is not xie chengze, they aren¡¯t afraid!


    of course, the most important thing is that they are quite decent. since they became officials, they did not dare to say that they never did a single evil thing but they definitely never did anything heinous.


    yan hang is kind so he shouldn¡¯t do anything to them.


    everyone came to the morning court in a happy mood, but when they looked up, they immediately saw a familiar face.


    xie chengze stood next to the dragon throne, looking at them with a smile.


    although xie chengze changed his clothes and hairstyle, his smile was different from before and he looked very kind.


    however, even if xie chengze turned into ashes, they would still recognize him!


    this is xie chengze!


    one official staggered and fell to the ground, followed closely by other officials who also lost their composure.

 CH 174

    isn¡¯t xie chengze dead? why did he appear here?


    these ministers from the former dynasty looked at xie chengze standing next to the dragon throne, they all trembled.


    the familiar fear returned to their bodies as large beads of sweat fell from their foreheads. these people¡¯s faces were pale, as if they had seen a ghost.


    the first person to fall couldn¡¯t help crying.


    at this moment, these officials were thankful for one thing, that is, in order not to lose their composure when going to court, they not only went to the toilet early, but also did not eat or drink.


    at least they won¡¯t be frightened into incontinence.


    these former ministers¡¯ appearance made lu yanzhou look at xie chengze helplessly.


    xie chengze really scared them.


    xie chengze must have been oppressed too hard by them, so he became a ¡®tyrant¡¯ and oppressed them in turn.


    xie chengze was really miserable in the past. he was impeached all day long without doing anything and was scolded at every turn.


    thinking of this, lu yanzhou reached out and held xie chengze¡¯s hand.


    xie chengze smiled kindly at these officials, hoping to make them stop being so scared. however, contrary to expectations, these people were actually scared to the ground by him!


    this is embarrassing. he wonders if lu yanzhou will think that he has gone too far before¡­


    xie chengze was a little worried when lu yanzhou held his hand. he turned around and found that lu yanzhou was looking at him with a comforting expression, as if it was not the officials who were scared but him.


    xie chengze reacted quickly and said in a voice that only lu yanzhou could hear: ¡°they always scold me, so i scare them. i didn¡¯t expect it to be like this¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i know. don¡¯t worry, they will never dare to scold you again in the future!¡±


    ¡°really?¡±


    ¡°of course it¡¯s true, i¡¯ll ask them to write an article to praise you later.¡±


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze whispered.


    their two subordinates looked at them, and then at the poor former ministers who had almost forgotten to breathe, with extremely complicated emotions.


    tian qi took a deep breath and realized that he might not be able to achieve his previous goal of killing all the villains and then dying together with xie chengze in infamy.


    now he is just a little confused¡­what should he do in the future?


    sheng yuan was also a little confused. he had been worried about his godfather being liquidated before, but the current situation¡­his godfather¡¯s methods were quite powerful. could it be that lu yanzhou was completely controlled by his godfather?


    as for the others¡­one of lu yanzhou¡¯s subordinates couldn¡¯t hold back his laughter and said, ¡°aren¡¯t those scholars all very noble? they could still be like this?¡±


    another man couldn¡¯t hold back his laughter either: ¡°hahaha, a big old man is even crying!¡±


    most of the generals who followed lu yanzhou to conquer the world and dared to kill and fight came from poor backgrounds. they had no good impressions of these wealthy families who had been exploiting them, so now they just watched the show happily. .


    they also admire xie chengze a little, their madam is truly extraordinary!


    lu yanzhou was comforting xie chengze, but when he saw this scene, he immediately said: ¡°stop laughing, stand still.¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s men quickly straighten up.


    however, those ministers from the previous dynasty were still in chaos¡­


    just as lu yanzhou was thinking about how to deal with them, xie chengze spoke: ¡°my lords, morning court is about to start, so take care of yourselves!¡±


    as soon as xie chengze¡¯s words came out, the effect was immediate. those ministers all quickly tidy up their appearance, wiped away their tears, and stood neatly.


    if one doesn¡¯t behave well in court, their head will be chopped off! they have developed this habit from before. therefore, when they go to court no matter how scared they are, they are all neat and tidy.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± xie chengze disciplines people so well! these people are so obedient!


    everyone arrived, so morning court started.


    all major issues were dealt with one by one, and lu yanzhou also rewarded the heroes.


    the first person he awarded was naturally ¡®wang ze¡¯.


    xie chengze wanted to bow, but he stopped him.


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze¡¯s subordinates all knew about xie chengze¡¯s change of name to wang ze, so their expressions were calm. however, when the former court ministers heard it, they almost collapsed.


    xie chengze is actually wang ze?


    he killed the entire imperial yan family, killed so many of them, and now he turned into a founding hero and was named king?


    who is he? he is a eunuch!


    these people were shouting in their hearts, but they didn¡¯t dare to say a word as they all stood obediently.


    xie chengze was watching them from above. what could they say?


    how dare they say it?


    however, they had to admit that xie chengze did make a lot of contributions to yan hang.


    they were wondering why did yan hang, who suddenly appeared, have so many good things in his hand? it turned out that xie chengze gave it to him!


    xie chengze has been selling all kinds of rare things in the capital. he is extremely rich and could indeed fund yan hang.


    without xie chengze, yan hang may not be able to reach the top.


    and this capital¡­xie chengze killed so many people and then welcomed yan hang into the city. how much trouble did that save yan hang?


    it¡¯s normal for yan hang to make him king.


    however, xie chengze is just a eunuch, how can he be so capable!


    these remaining ministers from the former dynasty were truly indescribably aggrieved and uncomfortable.


    however, this is not what makes them most uncomfortable.


    after yan hang rewarded the heroes, he actually said to them: ¡°you are all scholars, you will definitely be able to write splendid articles¡­let¡¯s do this, wang ze is the person i value most, so each of you will write an article to praise him. show it to me in a few days, then i¡¯ll select some to find someone to print them into a book.¡±


    xie chengze didn¡¯t expect that lu yanzhou would keep his word and actually plan to have these people write articles praising him.


    most people really can¡¯t do this kind of thing¡­he likes it!


    tian qi, sheng yuan and the others: ¡°¡­¡± this is incredible! they didn¡¯t expect yan hang to be such a person!


    most of lu yanzhou¡¯s men breathed a sigh of relief ¡ª fortunately, they didn¡¯t have to write!


    writing articles is really difficult and they don¡¯t want to write!


    as for the remaining ministers from the former dynasty, they no longer knew what to say.


    they all scolded xie chengze before, but now, they actually have to write an article praising xie chengze?


    if they do such a thing and go to the nine spring in the future, how will they face their former colleagues?


    but it¡¯s better to go to the nine spring tomorrow than to go to the nine spring today, so¡­let¡¯s write.


    these people agreed one after another and were very sensible.


    lu yanzhou suddenly added: ¡°by the way, i have something else to tell you.¡±


    everyone listened attentively, and then lu yanzhou said: ¡°yan hang is just my pseudonym, my real name is lu yanzhou.¡±


    yan hang¡¯s real name is lu yanzhou?


    who is lu yanzhou? why did he use a pseudonym before?


    wait, lu yanzhou?


    those ministers from the former dynasty suddenly remembered a person, that is, the yamen servant who xie chengze once liked very much and who was known as ¡®lu lang¡¯.


    then, lu yanzhou had someone bring scissors and a knife. he first cut off a large section of his beard, and then used the knife to shave off the stubble, revealing a young and handsome face.


    it¡¯s just that the lower half of his face has been blocked by his beard, making it a bit paler than the upper half of his face, which is a bit disharmonious.


    one of lu yanzhou¡¯s men exclaimed: ¡°general, i didn¡¯t expect you to look like this!¡±


    their general looks like a pretty boy! not majestic at all, no wonder he always had a big beard!


    after tian qi worked with xie chengze, he learned about xie chengze¡¯s past affairs and knew that xie chengze once had a pillow man named lu.


    so that person was yan hang?


    no wonder sheng yuan and the others all know yan hang!


    as for the remaining ministers from the former dynasty, their faces were expressionless.


    nothing can knock them now.


    lu yanzhou was also someone they looked down before. back then, they made fun of lu yanzhou in private.


    but now? lu yanzhou sat on the dragon throne!


    so when it was said that lu yanzhou was burned to death, was it a scene directed and acted by xie chengze? in fact, this person was arranged by xie chengze to go out to conquer the world?


    things are really coming down now?


    at the end of morning court, these people walked out in despair.


    xie chengze suddenly said: ¡°ministers, after you leave here, you should know what you should say and what you should not say.¡±


    the remaining ministers from the former dynasty were shocked and immediately covered their mouths.


    they really wanted to tell people that wang ze was actually xie chengze, but xie chengze is too scary¡­they didn¡¯t dare to say anything!


    they must keep their mouths shut and not reveal a word!


    the men soon returned home.


    at the door of a small influential family, the waiting woman was very happy to see her husband come back. she immediately came forward to ask him what happened when he went to morning court today.


    however, the husband was in a daze and only said: ¡°wang ze¡¯s methods are really extraordinary!¡±


    on the other side, a petty official also returned home.


    this junior official was once xie chengze¡¯s, but he was not considered a confidant. before going to court and whatnot, xie chengze only treated him the same as he treated other people, treating him equally.


    of course, this was his feeling. in fact, xie chengze had no intention of killing him from the beginning, so he had a good attitude towards him.


    the son of this junior official admired yan hang very much, so he asked: ¡°father, did you see yan hang in court today? i heard that he looks very majestic¡­¡±


    the junior official said: ¡°why are you asking about this? why don¡¯t you go read a book!¡±


    what yan hang, that¡¯s lu yanzhou, xie chengze¡¯s pillow man who his son despised before!


    because of xie chengze, there were not many people from the former dynasty left, but they were very reliable and worked hard without complaint. they quickly helped lu yanzhou stabilize the capital.


    they also quickly prepared for lu yanzhou¡¯s enthronement ceremony.


    they were also very obedient. no matter what strange things lu yanzhou wanted to do, they would not dissuade him and would only follow orders.


    for example, when lu yanzhou wanted to make wang ze his empress when he ascended the throne, they had no objection at all.


    these guys are so helpful!


    lu yanzhou felt that everything had gone smoothly since he came to the capital, but at the moment, he still had a lot to do, such as collecting merit and helping xie chengze with his treatment.


    amnesty for the whole world, tax exemption¡­the merits come quite quickly!

 CH 175

    lu yanzhou¡¯s enthronement ceremony and the empress crowning were all held in a low-key manner.


    when the empress was granted the title, they did not actually say that the empress was xie chengze. the decree only stated that the empress was ¡®wang¡¯.


    officials in the capital all knew that the ¡®wang¡¯ in the decree referred to xie chengze ¡ª the one wearing the phoenix crown that day was xie chengze.


    it¡¯s just that the world is not stable now, so they can¡¯t go against the whole world. this is why xie chengze wants to change his name and identity.


    lu yanzhou granting king to wang ze, a direct descendant of the wang family, and granting king to a eunuch from the former dynasty who was ¡®full of evil¡¯ is a big difference!


    one must know that xie chengze has been under attack for more than ten years. some scholars even blamed him for the demise of the former dynasty. many people also felt that their lives were so miserable because there was such a hateful eunuch around the emperor.


    after the matters concerning his enthronement were completed, sun chongshao was escorted to the capital, and sun chongshao¡¯s surrendered soldiers were also placed around the capital.


    however, the sphere of influence that sun chongshao has managed for many years has not been taken back by lu yanzhou. now, sun chongshao¡¯s generals, leading hundreds of thousands of troops, are entrenched there.


    in the north, there are still many areas controlled by dayan¡¯s generals and officials.


    what lu yanzhou actually controls now is only two-fifths of dayan¡¯s territory.


    fortunately, lu yanzhou has trained a lot of people in the past few years, so those people can help him fight and conquer these places now.


    moreover, he has ascended the throne now and is an orthodox person. when he goes to fight, those people are more likely to surrender, so no merit will be deducted even if there are casualties.


    the new dynasty had just been established, so there were a lot of things to do. lu yanzhou was very busy. under such circumstances, xie chengze, who had many years of experience in handling government affairs, was captured by him.


    lu yanzhou left most of the government affairs to xie chengze while he worked on agriculture and education all day long.


    he really wanted to build a new society where everyone was equal.


    but at this stage, this is impossible.


    most people in this era have never read books, so they simply cannot understand many things.


    there are even people in some places who don¡¯t even know who the emperor is. they have been controlled by powerful landowners for generations, so they have always listened to the words of powerful landowners.


    if lu yanzhou wants to change them, he needs to feed them first, then let their children go to school and teach their children various knowledge.


    all of this must be done slowly.


    facing lu yanzhou, who ran around in the fields all day long and pushed the matter of going to morning court to him, xie chengze was a little confused.


    he had thought about fighting for power and wanted to firmly control that power so that lu yanzhou wouldn¡¯t leave him easily.


    however, lu yanzhou directly thrust all kinds of rights into his hands¡­this was definitely something he had never thought of.


    does lu yanzhou believe him so much?


    one must know that the late emperor yan, who was killed by him, did not have as much power as what lu yanzhou gave him!


    lu yanzhou also sleeps next to him without any defense every day¡­isn¡¯t lu yanzhou afraid of being killed by him?


    today, lu yanzhou once again went to the experimental field outside the city in the morning, then went to the military camp outside the city in the afternoon to lay out the battle plan. therefore, when he dragged his tired body back to the palace, it was already dark.


    he briefly washed, hugged xie chengze, kissed him, lay on the bed, then fell asleep.


    however, xie chengze couldn¡¯t sleep and looked at lu yanzhou through the light.


    when lu yanzhou first shaved off his beard, the skin color on his face was still a little different, but now his skin color is the same.


    lu yanzhou has a resolute face and a short stubble on his chin. he looks very handsome. he is also very capable. he is very good at battling and handling government affairs.


    such a person has such trust in him mean¡­that lu yanzhou really likes him, right?


    or maybe sincerely treat him as a partner?


    xie chengze gently touched lu yanzhou¡¯s chin with his hand.


    he had been so busy some time ago. he was so focused on fighting for power and profit that he had no time to think too much.


    but today was different. today he got news that his cousin was coming back to the capital.


    he was twenty-six years old when he met lu yanzhou. many years have passed since then.


    he clearly felt that his body was not as healthy as when he was young, and his skin was not as good as when he was young.


    right now, it seems that lu yanzhou also likes him and his body, but will lu yanzhou always like him?


    and there¡¯s his cousin.


    his cousin is twelve years younger than him, so she is at the right age. will lu yanzhou rekindle his old love when he sees her?


    although his cousin was married and had a child, to an emperor, this was nothing.


    throughout the ages, how many emperors tried to seize the wives of their ministers?


    lu yanzhou even decided to make a eunuch the empress! it can be seen that he is not the kind of person who goes by the rules at all.


    for xie chengze, the matter between his cousin and lu yanzhou was always a thorn in his heart.


    the nicer and more devoted lu yanzhou was to him, the deeper the thorn in his heart pierced.


    he had already investigated lu yanzhou thoroughly, so he naturally knew that lu yanzhou had a deep relationship with his mother. that¡¯s the reason why he even watched his father die.


    at that time, although lu yanzhou was just a yamen servant, he was good-looking. many people he came into contact with from various places expressed their good impression of him.


    however, lu yanzhou didn¡¯t choose to be with anyone. he even tells them that he would only have one woman, and he will only be good to that woman.


    back then, lu yanzhou also said the same thing to his cousin.


    it¡¯s just that his cousin didn¡¯t elope with lu yanzhou as promised, and later, lu yanzhou was captured by him.


    if lu yanzhou only had fake feelings for him, he might not care so much about his cousin.


    but these days, he has made insinuations and asked xie jia and other people around lu yanzhou. he has confirmed that lu yanzhou has never touched anyone else in the years since they were separated!


    lu yanzhou has been surrounded by no one else these years!


    lu yanzhou always said love words to him. he always thought that it was because lu yanzhou was just trying to coax him, but it turned out that it was all true?


    he suddenly felt that the letters lu yanzhou wrote to him were extremely precious.


    however, he doesn¡¯t think he will have this forever.


    first of all, he stole all of this, and secondly¡­he is a man and a eunuch.


    no one objects to him becoming the empress now because his power is still there and the world is still uncertain.


    when the world is stable, will lu yanzhou¡¯s men still tolerate lu yanzhou not having any heirs in the harem?


    nowadays, more and more of lu yanzhou¡¯s subordinates are coming to the capital. most of them are very kind to lu yanzhou because of his clear attitude, but there are also a few who are actually dissatisfied with him or look down on him.


    others suggested that he should choose a concubine for lu yanzhou.


    but he didn¡¯t want to give lu yanzhou to others.


    xie chengze had the urge to eat the person in front of him now, so he lowered his head, wanting to bite lu yanzhou.


    however, before he met lu yanzhou, lu yanzhou opened his eyes.


    seeing xie chengze leaning towards him, lu yanzhou suddenly realized something.


    ¡°aze, i¡¯m sorry for neglecting you during this time.¡± lu yanzhou said, hugging xie chengze and turning over.


    he has been too busy during this period and has not been intimate with xie chengze for a few days!


    xie chengze must have missed him!


    after taking a nap just now, lu yanzhou had regained his energy, so now he kissed him without any hesitation.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    xie chengze got up late the next day while lu yanzhou, who was beside him, had already left.


    it¡¯s a good thing that morning court is late now.


    xie chengze got dressed and went to court. in the court, the old men from the former dynasty were all very respectful to him. they did whatever he said, but his subordinates were a little eager to get more rights.


    the most troublesome thing is lu yanzhou¡¯s subordinates. there are a few people who don¡¯t want to listen to him, a eunuch, at all.


    however, xie chengze was not a good-tempered person either. he gave the hardest and most tiring work directly to these people and arranged for people to keep an eye on them.


    he even killed the emperor, how could he still can¡¯t deal with these thorns?


    not to mention that lu yanzhou is still on his side!


    after a busy morning, xie chengze called a few more people to discuss other matters.


    other courtiers already go home at this time.


    those former ministers feel miserable every day, and they are so repulsed by the idea of going to morning court that the mention of the word ¡®morning court¡¯ by others may make them stiffen up.


    but they still have to come to morning court.


    fortunately, they still have hope.


    ¡°so what if xie chengze is favored? he is just a eunuch, he is also a very young eunuch. lu yanzhou will abandon him sooner or later!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou will definitely not be able to stand him taking power like this now. sooner or later he will be killed!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou treats him like this just to kill him! when lu yanzhou has everything in his hands, he will die!¡±


    ¡°if it weren¡¯t for xie chengze¡¯s ability that he could always come up with weird things, including extracting oil, making sugar, and weapons, lu yanzhou must have cast him aside a long time ago!¡±


    ¡°he actually wants to be the empress!¡±


    ¡­


    these people dare not tell their families about xie chengze, but they can¡¯t help but say a few words to their colleagues around them. then, they felt very comfortable after saying that.


    they want to live until they see xie chengze¡¯s misfortune happen!


    as for lu yanzhou¡¯s men¡­most of them have a good impression of xie chengze.


    after all, their ability to conquer this world has a lot to do with xie chengze, but there are also people who are dissatisfied: ¡°he is just a eunuch, but he is really arrogant!¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t talk nonsense! what eunuch? that is the young master of the wang family, the current king!¡± someone was dissatisfied.


    the person, who was dissatisfied with xie chengze, said, ¡°he¡¯s just trying to put money on his face!¡±


    ¡°if you don¡¯t know how to say anything, you¡¯d better not say it. be careful or his majesty may punish you!¡± someone scolded him.


    the person who disliked xie chengze finally stopped talking.


    lu yanzhou now attaches great importance to xie chengze. if he hears someone say bad things about xie chengze, he will get angry.


    but he felt that this would definitely not last long.


    the emperor may seem kind, but he actually has great ideas. if xie chengze had been working as a eunuch in the harem peacefully, the emperor might have allowed him to enjoy his old age. but now¡­when all the things in xie chengze¡¯s hands are taken out, he will probably die suddenly.


    the founding emperor who was able to fight his way out of the siege in troubled times isn¡¯t simple.


    when this person thought this way, he felt as if everyone was drunk and he alone was sober, so he looked at his colleagues with contempt.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know that others thought of him so much. he was in a good mood now.


    he has finally accumulated enough merit!


    he can cure xie chengze!


    just¡­he hopes it won¡¯t scare xie chengze.


    xie chengze has a strong psychological endurance, so he should¡­maybe¡­maybe¡­not be scared?


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t stay outside the city anymore, so he ran to the capital at noon.


    as a result, he met wang tingyun before he entered the palace.


    xie chengze recognized wang tingyun as a relative, but he was not kind to the wang family. not only did he give wang tingyun a low official position, but xie chengze also used ¡®avoiding suspicion¡¯ as an excuse to not give many official positions to other members of the wang family.


    ignoring that, because of recognizing xie chengze, the wang family is now being ostracized by the other influential families in the capital.


    therefore, when wang tingyun gave lu yanzhou an invitation saying that he was celebrating his birthday today and wanted to invite xie chengze over, lu yanzhou accepted the invitation.


    although xie chengze is now a member of the wang family in name only, he still has to go to wang tingyun¡¯s birthday banquet.


    lu yanzhou took the invitation, then went to see xie chengze excitedly.


    at the same time, xie chengze also received news that his cousin had followed her husband to the capital.


    he must arrange a local official position as soon as possible and drive his cousin¡¯s husband out of the capital!


    just as he was thinking this, xie chengze saw lu yanzhou coming in from the outside with a happy face.


    ¡°lu lang, why are you so happy?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°a good thing happened,¡± lu yanzhou laughed, thought for a moment then gave xie chengze the invitation from the wang family, ¡°aze, wang tingyun invites you to attend his birthday banquet, i will go with you.¡±


    since the ¡®empress¡¯ xie chengze will be returning to his parents¡¯ home, he will definitely go to support xie chengze.


    xie chengze¡¯s expression froze.


    lu yanzhou was so happy that he was going to attend wang tingyun¡¯s birthday banquet¡­could it be that he knew that his cousin had returned to the capital?

 CH 176

    xie chengze knew that wang tingyun was going to celebrate his birthday.


    if, as outsiders thought, he had no blood relationship with the wang family, and he had chosen this family to identify himself, he would definitely attend the birthday banquet.


    however, he is not.


    his biological parents are in the wang family, but he doesn¡¯t want to see his relatives.


    now that his cousin has returned from other places, let alone that!


    xie chengze frowned and looked at lu yanzhou, in a bad mood: ¡°you really want to go to the wang family?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°no, what¡¯s wrong?¡± lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want to go to the wang family at all, after all, the original owner had been entangled with young lady wang before.


    fortunately, young lady wang is not in the capital, so he shouldn¡¯t be able to meet her.


    xie chengze observed lu yanzhou carefully and found nothing strange, but his heart was still heavy.


    he took a deep breath and finally said: ¡°nothing, i just thought you liked the wang family very much.¡±


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°what is there to like about them? i only like you.¡±


    love words came out of lu yanzhou¡¯s mouth, and this really made xie chengze feel a lot better.


    stretching out, his head will be chopped, shrinking his head will also be chopped. then, he will go out to check tonight!


    noticing that xie chengze seemed unhappy, lu yanzhou asked him: ¡°aze, did something happen to you? is someone disrespecting you? you don¡¯t have to worry about me, just deal with it as you see fit.¡±


    lu yanzhou also knew that many people were dissatisfied with xie chengze¡¯s identity.


    he gave xie chengze a lot of rights and asked tian qi to lead the army to guard the capital¡­this was all so that others wouldn¡¯t belittle xie chengze.


    however, after all, he didn¡¯t stay with xie chengze all day long. there were always places he couldn¡¯t see¡­


    ¡°no, it¡¯s just that i¡¯ve been too busy recently and didn¡¯t sleep well last night.¡± xie chengze¡¯s eyes moved, he looked at lu yanzhou alluringly.


    lu yanzhou coughed lightly.


    if xie chengze didn¡¯t sleep well last night¡­it might be his fault.


    pulling xie chengze over for a kiss, lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, you should go get some sleep.¡±


    xie chengze glared at him: ¡°i have to go out at night, how will i have time?¡±


    lu yanzhou could only say: ¡°let me help you.¡±


    the two of them dealt with memorials all afternoon, then seeing that it was almost time, they set off to wang¡¯s house.


    along the way, lu yanzhou kept talking to xie chengze, feeling a little excited.


    after all, there is another big thing waiting for him to do tonight!


    if xie chengze went to take a nap in the afternoon, he would have cured xie chengze at that time, but xie chengze had been looking at the memorials¡­he did not want to cause trouble to xie chengze.


    let¡¯s wait until tonight!


    the wang family¡¯s current residence is not the original wang¡¯s mansion.


    xie chengze used that house as his palace. as for the wang family, he gave them another smaller house to live in.


    this is already pretty good. some influential families now rent houses!


    wang tingyun is sixty years old this year. this birthday banquet is his sixtieth birthday, which is very important, but it is held in a low-key manner. at this time, if he holds a high-profile birthday banquet, it will definitely arouse jealousy.


    however, although he is very low-key, there are still many people in the house, after all, there are many wang family members.


    at this time, wang tingyun had just met his daughter.


    back then, the naughty and mischievous girl offended the princess and so she was sent to live in the manor. however, she ended up planning to elope with a scoundrel. looking at the lawless little girl, she was now mature and stable in her twenties.


    over the years, she has even given birth to two children. at this time, she was holding her daughter, who was only a few months old, with gentleness and maternal brilliance in her eyes.


    since wang tingyun learned that yan hang was actually lu yanzhou, he felt very complicated.


    reason told him that the emperor who was now knowledgeable, courageous and capable could not be the ignorant little scoundrel back then.


    xie chengze said the same thing.


    but if this person is not that lu yanzhou, who is he?


    why did he use lu yanzhou¡¯s identity?


    however, no matter who lu yanzhou is, it is best for his daughter to draw a clear line with lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze is not that easy to mess with!


    wang tingyun called his daughter to the study alone and asked: ¡°do you remember lu yanzhou?¡±


    young lady wang looked embarrassed: ¡°father, why did you mention him?¡±


    when she was young, she didn¡¯t understand anything. at one time, young lady wang even planned to elope for love.


    however, after many years, looking back on the past, she felt that she was really stupid and pitiful back then.


    the man she met was just a yamen servant, he didn¡¯t even recognize a character, and he was also talking nonsense¡­if she were to really leave with him, how could she survive in this troubled world?


    she might have starved to death, been sold, or encountered other terrible things.


    when wang tingyun saw his daughter like this, he knew what his daughter was thinking.


    his daughter finally grew up!


    wang tingyun said: ¡°the current emperor¡­looks a bit like that person.¡±


    so that is what it is! young lady wang said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, father. i have long let it go. father, please don¡¯t mention him again.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± wang tingyun hesitated to speak.


    young lady wang became curious: ¡°father, who is wang ze? is he really that powerful?¡±


    young lady wang¡¯s husband was originally a dayan official. later, sun chongshao attacked them. young lady wang¡¯s husband wanted to protect himself and for the sake of the people in the city, he surrendered and began to work for sun chongshao.


    later, sun chongshao led his troops to invade the capital, but was captured by yan hang. sun chongshao¡¯s men became scattered and worked on their own.


    when yan hang sent troops to attack, most of the people surrendered, and her husband surrendered even more simply.


    however, after being demoted and losing his official position, her husband took her to the capital to ask for an official position.


    along the way, they heard a lot about wang ze and even bought a printed book.


    this book is full of praises for wang ze from the former court officials. the rhetoric is gorgeous and the writing style is beautiful, making people unable to put it down.


    young lady wang and her husband read the book several times and yearned to see wang ze, but¡­everyone said that wang ze is from the wang family. why didn¡¯t she remember that there was such a person in her family?


    ¡°what have you heard?¡± wang tingyun asked.


    young lady wang told him everything she read in the book.


    wang tingyun: ¡°¡­¡± wang tingyun knew that lu yanzhou asked former officials to write articles praising xie chengze. he also knew that lu yanzhou used a method called ¡®movable type printing¡¯. after those articles were collected in just a few days, it was printed, added with sentences to read, and then sent everywhere.


    it turns out that his daughter also read this book.


    after a moment of silence, wang tingyun said: ¡°wang ze is more powerful than you think, don¡¯t offend him!¡±


    his daughter had never seen xie chengze before.


    his son-in-law was still young when he was in the capital and had never seen the jiu qian sui then.


    wang tingyun simply didn¡¯t tell them wang ze¡¯s true identity.


    when young lady wang heard her father say this, she admired wang ze even more.


    then, someone suddenly came from outside to report that the emperor and the regent were here.


    yes, in order to facilitate xie chengze¡¯s handling of government affairs, lu yanzhou simply made him the regent and granted him various privileges, such as being able to sit on the dragon¡¯s throne.


    that chair was supreme in some people¡¯ eyes, but in lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes, it was just an ordinary chair.


    in fact, he once wanted to replace it with a soft sofa for xie chengze.


    wang tingyun hurriedly went out to greet him, and young lady wang also followed.


    lu yanzhou was the emperor now after all. when he came to the wang family, he was naturally surrounded by many people.


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze were surrounded by wang¡¯s mansion, then they spotted wang tingyun.


    wang tingyun brought the wang family up to salute, then invited lu yanzhou and xie chengze in.


    lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze. he came with xie chengze. it would be bad not to come in this situation, but it was okay to leave immediately after coming.


    xie chengze said: ¡°then let¡¯s go in.¡±


    lu yanzhou was the emperor, and xie chengze was extremely powerful. in addition, wang tingyun had warned the family in advance, so everyone who came to the birthday banquet was very obedient.


    xie chengze glanced over and saw his biological father looking at him fawningly.


    seeing his father like this, xie chengze knew that wang tingyun probably hadn¡¯t told his biological parents about his true identity.


    that¡¯s pretty good too.


    immediately afterwards, xie chengze saw his biological mother and¡­his cousin.


    he paused but continued to move forward again.


    wang tingyun indeed did not tell the wang family except his son about xie chengze¡¯s true identity.


    he didn¡¯t dare to say anything without xie chengze¡¯s consent.


    xie chengze had never met the wang family before. when he finally met them, wang tingyun quickly introduced them one by one.


    during this period, lu yanzhou had been acting as a foil until wang tingyun introduced his youngest daughter and son-in-law to xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou looked up and saw the little girl once abducted by the original owner.


    there are some differences between a fourteen-year-old girl and a young woman in her early twenties. lu yanzhou didn¡¯t even notice that this girl was among the female relatives before.


    but now that the person was in front of him, lu yanzhou naturally recognized her and mumbled silently to himself, ¡°i¡¯m going to suffer.¡±


    the original owner and young lady wang met in secret back then, and only the two of them knew about it. although lu yanzhou felt a little guilty when he faced wang tingyun before, he didn¡¯t think wang tingyun knew about it.


    but young lady wang is different, young lady wang knows him!


    lu yanzhou was quite afraid of young lady wang calling his name.


    xie chengze will definitely be angry by then!


    fortunately, what lu yanzhou was worried about did not happen.


    young lady wang glanced at lu yanzhou curiously, then stood aside.


    she felt that her father was right. the emperor looked a lot like lu yanzhou. however, she was sure that these two people were definitely not the same person.


    the lu yanzhou she knew could not have such power under any circumstances!


    not to mention that the emperor is very knowledgeable and very rich. people in the wang family who have competed with the emperor before are full of praise for the emperor and have even retained the emperor¡¯s writing.


    to write like that, it would take more than ten years of practice.


    lu yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze stayed at wang¡¯s mansion for a short time, then xie chengze asked to leave.


    lu yanzhou was eager to leave as soon as possible, so he naturally agreed immediately.


    after leaving the wang family, lu yanzhou relaxed a lot. at the same time, he was thinking about arranging an official position in another place for young lady wang¡¯s husband to keep them far away.


    ¡°your majesty, what are you thinking about?¡± xie chengze suddenly asked.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°it¡¯s nothing¡­aze, let¡¯s go back quickly. i have something to tell you.¡± it¡¯s better not to think about young lady wang, but to think about xie chengze!


    xie chengze is about to be cured!


    xie chengze will definitely be surprised when the time comes!


    xie chengze saw that lu yanzhou was very happy but he couldn¡¯t smile no matter what.


    he had been observing lu yanzhou before.


    at that time, lu yanzhou obviously recognized his cousin. however, from the look of it, it was his cousin who didn¡¯t connect lu yanzhou with that yamen servant.


    lu yanzhou recognized the person, and he had something to tell him later¡­what was lu yanzhou going to say?


    did he want to bring his cousin into the palace?


    lu yanzhou was forced to be with him but his cousin was different.


    lu yanzhou was ambitious and had long wanted to rebel. when lu yanzhou wanted to take his cousin to jiangnan, did he want to extract oil and make tofu to accumulate money and then conquer the world?


    as a result, lu yanzhou¡¯s planned path was ruined by him, so he had to stay with him for two years.


    lu yanzhou is an emotional person. he later treated lu yanzhou well and always supported lu yanzhou, so lu yanzhou did not dislike him and even gave him a lot of privileges.


    but is he¡­comparable to the first person lu yanzhou fell in love with when he was young?


    after returning to the palace, lu yanzhou pulled xie chengze towards the imperial chamber.


    he has completely abandoned young lady wang. when young lady wang didn¡¯t come, she broke up with the original owner by default then. now that young lady wang is married and has children, she really has nothing to do with him at all.


    but xie chengze¡¯s body¡­


    after entering the room and asking the palace maids and eunuchs to leave, lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze and said, ¡°aze, you have to calm down a little bit next.¡±


    calm down? xie chengze clenched his fists tightly and frowned at lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou was really handsome. he liked him from the bottom of his heart. when he saw this face, he couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    but if lu yanzhou wants someone else¡­


    wait, something is wrong with his body!

 CH 177

    ever since xie chengze learned that his cousin was coming to the capital, he felt a fire in his heart with deep panic.


    lu yanzhou was so kind to him.


    outsiders felt that lu yanzhou kept him because of the things in his hands. when he handed over everything in his hands, lu yanzhou would definitely kick him away.


    but he knew very well that those things were all researched by lu yanzhou and had nothing to do with him at all.


    there was nothing in his hands that was worthy of lu yanzhou being so kind to him.


    after lu yanzhou was snatched home by him, he has been helping him, and he has never disliked him or been unfaithful.


    he naturally likes such a person more and more, and the more he likes him, the more afraid he becomes that one day this person will no longer belong to him.


    after all, this person was not his from the beginning.


    however, just when his panic reached its peak, his body¡­


    at this moment, xie chengze had no time to think about his cousin. all his thoughts were on his body: ¡°i¡­my body¡­¡­¡±


    seeing xie chengze stunned, lu yanzhou kissed him: ¡°aze, you will be a normal man from now on.¡±


    lu yanzhou knew that xie chengze was in a bad mood during this period.


    this should be because of his physical condition.


    eunuchs were looked down upon by people in this era. only those who were too poor to eat would enter the palace and become eunuchs.


    even if xie chengze holds great power, he will be looked down upon since he is not a normal man.


    xie chengze obviously hates the status of eunuch. he even changed his name because of it¡­if xie chengze¡¯s body is healed, he will definitely be in a better mood.


    xie chengze was stunned and let lu yanzhou kiss him.


    as he kissed him, he felt something was wrong with his body.


    he suddenly broke away from lu yanzhou¡¯s arms and began to take off his pants. halfway through, he looked at lu yanzhou again: ¡°what¡¯s going on!¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°it¡¯s aas you see¡­aze, your condition is good now, are you happy?¡±


    of course xie chengze was happy, then he cried.


    he thought countless times why heaven did this to him and made him born neither a boy nor a girl.


    he also suffered greatly from this.


    however, he never imagined that he would one day recover.


    such a miraculous situation happened to him, which surprised and delighted him.


    but that¡¯s not the most important thing.


    after xie chengze recovered, the first thing that came to his mind was who was lu yanzhou?


    how could lu yanzhou have such ability? it actually allowed him to regenerate his severed part!


    is he still a mortal?


    xie chengze did not wipe his tears. he stared at lu yanzhou and asked, ¡°who are you?¡±


    lu yanzhou smiled: ¡°i am lu yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m like this now¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou said, ¡°you are better, you have recovered.¡±


    xie chengze stared at lu yanzhou for a moment and realized that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want to say more, or couldn¡¯t say more.


    in the past, lu yanzhou would answer whatever he asked, as long as he could answer it!


    since lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t tell, he wouldn¡¯t ask too.


    but¡­lu yanzhou is definitely not a mortal!


    there is no way that lu yanzhou, who has such abilities, can be an ordinary person!


    he should have realized that, after all, lu yanzhou knew so many things that others didn¡¯t!


    if lu yanzhou was not a mortal, since he is still willing to be with him and even treat him so well, how could there be any lies?


    various thoughts flashed through xie chengze¡¯s mind, then he suddenly asked lu yanzhou: ¡°have you ever liked anyone else besides me?¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°of course not.¡±


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou: ¡°i want to be with you for the rest of my life.¡±


    ¡°we will definitely be together for the rest of our lives.¡± lu yanzhou was certain.


    xie chengze continue asked, ¡°did you come here specifically to see me?¡±


    ¡°of course.¡±


    when xie chengze heard lu yanzhou¡¯s answer, his heart suddenly relaxed.


    he suddenly remembered that before he kidnapped lu yanzhou, he had met lu yanzhou in the county town.


    at that time, he only felt that this yamen officer was good-looking and had the ability to deceive people, but he had no other feelings.


    but then when he saw lu yanzhou again¡­his feeling completely changed.


    he once told wang tingyun that the lu yanzhou now is not the lu yanzhou before.


    he was just talking nonsense at the time, but now that he thinks about it¡­this is the truth!


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou tightly, his tears couldn¡¯t stop anymore.


    lu yanzhou has such ability, why would he lie to him? so he is absolutely sincere to him.


    he wanted lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou could feel the changes in xie chengze¡¯s body. he picked up xie chengze and walked to the dragon bed not far away.


    xie chengze has been crying. he didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable, it¡¯s purely because he is happy.


    he also asked lu yanzhou a lot of questions over and over again: ¡°are you actually literate? you lied to me and said you couldn¡¯t read.¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t answer directly and just said ¡®hmm¡¯. there were some things that he really couldn¡¯t said.


    ¡°what were you thinking when i took you back?¡±


    ¡°i didn¡¯t think much about it, i was just very happy¡­well, you had already taken me home at that time but you still didn¡¯t want to talk to me.¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s tears started flowing again.


    at this moment, he didn¡¯t care about his cousin and lu yanzhou¡¯s affairs anymore.


    after realizing that the lu yanzhou now was not the lu yanzhou before, he no longer had any doubts toward lu yanzhou.


    if lu yanzhou really liked his cousin, he would approach wang tingyun, show off his talents, and give wang tingyun what he knew¡­wang tingyun would definitely marry his cousin to lu yanzhou!


    but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t do that. lu yanzhou held everything in front of him.


    lu yanzhou only likes him, he should have thought of it a long time ago!


    xie chengze couldn¡¯t stop crying all night long and also pestered lu yanzhou all night long.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t get up the next day. he thought about it and decided to give himself a day off.


    he, the emperor, cannot work all year round!


    thus, when xie chengze finally woke up, he found himself still lying in lu yanzhou¡¯s arms.


    lu yanzhou hugged him and kissed him hard: ¡°aze, what do you want to eat today?¡±


    xie chengze had always been unsure before, but now is different.


    xie chengze said, ¡°i want to eat what you cooked for me.¡±


    after hearing what xie chengze said, lu yanzhou said, ¡°i¡¯ll go to the imperial kitchen right away.¡±


    he would definitely satisfy this request!


    speaking of which, he had collected a lot of spices over the years and had a large iron pot built. he could definitely make a sumptuous breakfast for xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou had already helped xie chengze clean up last night.


    now that lu yanzhou was gone, xie chengze got up and dressed, then asked the eunuch at the door to call sheng yuan.


    ¡°sheng yuan, i don¡¯t want to go to morning court today, ask someone to tell the others.¡± xie chengze said to sheng yuan in a voice that was too hoarse after crying for a long time.


    xie chengze¡¯s eyes at this moment were red and swollen, he looked really pitiful.


    seeing xie chengze like this, sheng yuan was a little worried: ¡°your highness, what¡¯s wrong with you? your highness¡­¡±


    did his highness cry all night last night?


    what is the reason for this? the emperor and his highness had a dispute? to make his highness cry like this¡­how big is the problem?!


    xie chengze could guess what sheng yuan was thinking, so he said, ¡°his majesty is too powerful, he tossed this kind all night last night.¡±


    sheng yuan: ¡°¡­¡± is he allowed to hear this kind of thing?


    wait, his highness has never said this before. the emperor is always restrained and will never make his highness cry.


    therefore, his highness is comforting him, right? there¡¯s a problem between his majesty and his highness?


    sheng yuan was a little anxious, so xie chengze added: ¡°i didn¡¯t lie to you! his majesty has gone to cook for me now.¡±


    sheng yuan was still a little doubtful, but lu yanzhou suddenly came back with breakfast at this moment: ¡°aze, i¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to wait too long, so i made something simple first. i¡¯ll make you a big meal at noon.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze smiled.


    lu yanzhou added, ¡°i brought you two eggs. you cried so much last night that your eyes were swollen.¡±


    ¡°please help me apply it,¡± xie chengze said.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t feel anything was wrong at all, so he peeled off the egg and helped xie chengze put it on his eyes.


    sheng yuan suddenly felt that he shouldn¡¯t be standing here.


    he silently left.


    however, xie chengze sweetly ate the meal lu yanzhou cooked for him.


    lu yanzhou still had something to take care of, so he went to work after the meal, but xie chengze didn¡¯t plan to go out.


    he summoned his former steward, old zhang, and asked him where all the things lu yanzhou had brought with him when he brought him back.


    old zhang said: ¡°it has been kept in the room where his majesty once lived.¡±


    when lu yanzhou was brought back to his residence by xie chengze, he brought a lot of things with him.


    lu yanzhou put those things in a box in the room where he first lived. later, when lu yanzhou moved to live in the same room with xie chengze, he didn¡¯t take them with him.


    xie chengze smiled -they were indeed not the same person!


    look, lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t care about his previous wealth at all! he remembered that there should be something inside that his cousin gave lu yanzhou!


    when old zhang saw xie chengze smiling so happily with swollen eyes, he was a little worried: ¡°your highness, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m fine, i¡¯m just very happy.¡±


    old zhang: ¡°¡­¡± is this very happy? he looked¡­why did he look like he had been crying for a long time?


    it was suspected that xie chengze had a quarrel with the emperor and burst into tears, so the news eventually spread.


    when xie chengze went to morning court the next day, his swollen eyes hadn¡¯t completely healed yet, thus the minister in the court confirmed the matter!


    xie chengze cried!


    xie chengze didn¡¯t go to court yesterday!


    did lu yanzhou dislike him?


    when lu yanzhou abandons him, will he be in trouble?!


    everyone who was looking forward to xie chengze¡¯s misfortune was very happy.


    then xie chengze directly issued a few orders to send all those people under lu yanzhou who disliked him to remote places!


    he was afraid that lu yanzhou would blame him before, so he tolerated them.


    but now¡­now that lu yanzhou is in his hands, how could he still be afraid of them?

 CH 178

    xie chengze was in quite a good mood.


    after he was convinced that lu yanzhou liked him, everything was pleasing to his eyes. even those ministers from the former dynasty who were probably secretly scolding him became more handsome when he looked at them.


    however, also because of this, he didn¡¯t want to tolerate those people who ruined his good mood ¡ª lu yanzhou¡¯s men, who always looked at him like eyes that were not eyes and nose that were not nose, get out of here!


    if they are not satisfied¡­haha, if they have the ability, go cry to lu yanzhou! if lu yanzhou listens to them, he will take their last name!


    with swollen eyes, xie chengze happily handled memorials, and also arranged for his cousin¡¯s husband to go to jiangnan, where lu yanzhou made his fortune, to be responsible for education.


    he has investigated his cousin¡¯s husband. he has a weak character, but he is not bad and has good talents and learning ability. he is more suitable to do this.


    although he was sure that his cousin had nothing to do with lu yanzhou, xie chengze still didn¡¯t want to see them.


    xie chengze, who was in a happy mood, worked very efficiently and handled all the things he had to deal with in the morning.


    as for the afternoon¡­he planned to go outside the city to see lu yanzhou in the afternoon.


    after xie chengze finished handling the memorials, he went to the imperial kitchen to bring lu yanzhou something delicious.


    the milk tea lu yanzhou made for him yesterday was good.


    xie chengze was very happy, but others didn¡¯t think so.


    as soon as morning court was over, the remaining ministers from the former dynasty exchanged glances with each other, gathered together in groups, then went to an empty place with few people to talk cautiously.


    ¡°i heard that he had a quarrel with the emperor!¡±


    ¡°i heard that he even cried!¡±


    ¡°looking at his appearance today, it must be true!¡±


    ¡°i guess they must have had a serious quarrel, that man has never cried before.¡±


    ¡°the emperor must be dissatisfied with him and wants to deal with him!¡±


    ¡°he actually sent the emperor¡¯s people away, he probably doesn¡¯t want to live anymore!¡±


    ¡°are they going to fall out?¡±


    ¡°the emperor will definitely kill him!¡±


    ¡°the good thing we have been waiting for is finally coming!¡±


    ¡­


    after these people finished talking, they were in a good mood so they looked up to the sky and smiled.


    well, they couldn¡¯t wait to see it. they didn¡¯t even dare to laugh at the moment, they could only suppress their laughter, so the corners of their mouths twitched.


    on the other side, xie chengze¡¯s men were worried: ¡°is his highness okay?¡±


    ¡°did he have a conflict with his majesty?¡±


    ¡°although the capital is under his highness control, outside the city is his majesty¡¯s one hundred thousand troops¡­¡±


    ¡­


    when lu yanzhou first entered the capital, xie chengze¡¯s subordinates were living with their tails between their legs. but later when lu yanzhou did not come to morning court and xie chengze was appointed regent and took sole power, they became a little restless.


    xie chengze¡¯s state today really shocked them. they all put their tails between their legs and decided to be careful in the future.


    as for lu yanzhou¡¯s men¡­most of lu yanzhou¡¯s men have a good impression of xie chengze.


    those troublemakers were arranged by xie chengze to become officials in remote places. others thought it was normal ¡ª there¡¯s no beating, killing, and this isn¡¯t even considered a demotion, so it¡¯s pretty good, right?


    but those people were not happy.


    there were few civil servants under lu yanzhou. they had been entrusted with important responsibilities before, but when the new dynasty was established¡­they actually imagined that they could become prime ministers.


    however, lu yanzhou didn¡¯t give them this chance at all!


    their official positions are not low, but they are not high either, and they have to take orders from a eunuch!


    they were dissatisfied and felt that lu yanzhou should hate xie chengze too, so they went against xie chengze.


    then¡­they were arranged by a decree to go to a place far away from the capital?


    of course they were dissatisfied. thus, as soon as they left the palace they went straight outside the city to find lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou has already sent people to look for crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn that are easy to grow and have high yields ¡ª these are not available in dayan!


    in addition, he also used scientific methods to plant existing crops such as rice and wheat near the capital, preparing to select improved varieties, try to increase the yield of these crops, and promote planting methods.


    when he had free time, he also led people to compile elementary school textbooks. he even planned to promote simplified chinese characters when the world was stable and the local powerful forces were broken up.


    traditional chinese characters are too complicated. if farmer¡¯s children who have never received education before are asked to learn such complicated characters, most children wouldn¡¯t be able to learn them.


    in fact, even if it is changed to simplified characters, the willingness of those children to learn will definitely not be as good as those children born from wealthy families, but at least everyone can learn to read.


    lu yanzhou was studying a biogas digester when his men came to see him.


    when the officials came here and saw lu yanzhou with his trouser legs rolled up, they felt bad.


    they knew that their emperor ignored government affairs and ran to the outskirts of the capital every day.


    they always thought that the emperor was training soldiers outside the city, but¡­he was farming? he is even toying with these filthy things?


    ¡°what¡¯s wrong with you guys?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    the expressions of these people changed again and again, then they began to cry, saying that xie chengze didn¡¯t take lu yanzhou seriously and didn¡¯t take them seriously.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°don¡¯t talk nonsense. how is aze not taking me seriously?¡±


    xie chengze attaches great importance to him. he kept crawling into his arms at night, and this morning he even acted coquettishly and asked for a kiss. how is he not taken seriously?


    those officials: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou frowned and said, ¡°tell me, what happened?¡±


    these people actually spoke ill of xie chengze. lu yanzhou now has a bad impression of them.


    these officials could only honestly tell the whole story.


    when lu yanzhou heard them talking about their official positions, he knew that xie chengze was indeed targeting them, but: ¡°isn¡¯t this good? you can go out to practice.¡±


    ¡°your majesty!¡± lu yanzhou sneered: ¡°the regent has always been clear of rewards and punishments. he arranged such an official position for you which must definitely mean you did something¡­do you want to talk about it?¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t have any arrogance when getting along with his subordinates.


    however, his men all knew that he was not someone to be trifled with.


    seeing lu yanzhou¡¯s cold face, these officials immediately knelt down.


    xie chengze suddenly came over at this moment: ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡±


    when lu yanzhou saw xie chengze, his expression immediately turned dark: ¡°it¡¯s nothing¡­what are you doing here, aze? it smells bad here!¡±


    ¡°you can come, so why can¡¯t i come?¡± xie chengze glared at lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°of course you can come, but i can¡¯t bear to have you come here!¡±


    lu yanzhou asked someone to take xie chengze to a clean place to rest, and then said, ¡°i¡¯ll change my clothes first, then i¡¯ll come find you after i¡¯ve changed.¡±


    xie chengze agreed with a smile and left with the person lu yanzhou arranged.


    after xie chengze left, lu yanzhou looked at his subordinates: ¡°you all should be obedient! if you offend me, i won¡¯t necessarily pursue you. if you offend him¡­i will definitely pursue you with him!¡±


    the official who came to complain: ¡°¡­¡±


    after lu yanzhou changed his clothes, he went to find xie chengze.


    there are many crops planted on this village, and the people responsible for farming are sun chongshao¡¯s soldiers who surrendered to lu yanzhou before.


    these people were farmers before they joined the army. they were all passionate about farming, so they regarded the words of the emperor, lu yanzhou, as imperial edicts¡­well, they were indeed imperial edicts.


    in short, they are very attentive when tending the crops, so the crops naturally grow well.


    ¡°isn¡¯t there too many people farming in this village?¡± xie chengze asked lu yanzhou when he saw a bunch of people surrounding some fields.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°there are a lot of people now, but after a year, they will leave.¡±


    lu yanzhou is actually teaching these people to farm. when they learn how to do it, he will give them some seeds and send them back to their hometown


    they have met the emperor and learned farming from the emperor. after returning to their hometown, they will definitely attract the attention of countless people, then people will definitely be willing to follow them to learn the emperor¡¯s farming methods.


    in ancient times when news transmission was more troublesome, he could only change people¡¯s lives a little bit.


    after hearing what lu yanzhou said, xie chengze said: ¡°your majesty is really considerate of the people.¡±


    xie chengze felt that lu yanzhou must be a bodhisattva who came from heaven to save the suffering people!


    ¡°i didn¡¯t do anything.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°did you plan to conquer the world and become emperor so that the people can live a good life?¡± xie chengze asked.


    he used to think that lu yanzhou was very ambitious, but which ambitious person would spend all day farming in a village after becoming emperor?


    lu yanzhou has absolutely no ambition!


    instead, he has the world in his heart.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°no, i am afraid that you will be killed.¡±


    xie chengze was stunned.


    lu yanzhou smile: ¡°what will you do if i am not the emperor?¡±


    if xie chengze was not the most powerful eunuch in dayan, he could actually open an academy to promote planting techniques and teach ambitious people like sun chongshao.


    however, xie chengze¡¯s identity at that time was too sensitive¡­


    throughout the ages, some powerful officials have had good endings, but most of the eunuchs in power never had good endings.


    what¡¯s more, xie chengze is also thinking about revenge.


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou, tears falling again.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but feel helpless: ¡°aze, please stop crying. if you cry like this, everyone will think that i bullied you!¡±


    xie chengze is in charge of everything in the palace, so all the maids and eunuchs in the palace are xie chengze¡¯s people.


    lu yanzhou felt that everyone was looking at him wrongly these days.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i just want to cry, what will you do to me?¡±


    lu yanzhou was helpless. he held xie chengze¡¯s face and gently kissed away the tears from the corners of xie chengze¡¯s eyes.


    the two of them stayed under the pavilion. the officials who came to complain left dejectedly and happened to see this scene from a distance.


    his majesty held xie chengze in his arms so dearly.


    why on earth did they think his majesty was flattering xie chengze before?


    t/n: 1 more chap and 2 more extra than this world finally end! (?????)? ??

 CH 181

    zhou country is the most developed country in the world that none could compare.


    since lu yanzhou, the founding emperor of the zhou country, overthrew the decadent dayan and established the dazhou dynasty with wang ze, the dazhou dynasty began to rise rapidly.


    in its long history, dazhou has encountered many troubles, but it has survived and developed better and better each time.


    today, zhou country is recognized as the most powerful country in the world, and it has been helping other countries, so it also has a very good international reputation. people all over the world are proud to come to zhou country to settle or study abroad.


    lu yanzhou university in zhou country is recognized as the best university in the world.


    today is lu yanzhou and wang ze¡¯s 500th death anniversary. lu yanzhou university held a special event to commemorate the two seniors who made great contributions to zhou country.


    lu yanzhou and wang ze have been in office for fifty years. during these fifty years, they have done many many things.


    for example, the development of agriculture has promoted the planting of many new crops, so dazhou¡¯s people no longer have to go hungry.


    for example, in the development of education, it took fifty years to make 90% of the young people in dazhou dynasty literate.


    for example, revising the law laid the foundation for modern law.


    ¡­


    the two even established a new political system before their death, allowing the dazhou dynasty to transition smoothly from a feudal monarchy to a modern political power.


    therefore, the two have undoubtedly become the two greatest people in the history of dazhou dynasty.


    ¡°the two are really like time-travelers!¡±


    ¡°they are super avant-garde in their thinking! they also know a lot of things!¡±


    ¡°he actually uses hot weapons to fit with other peoples¡¯ cold weapons. sun chongshao is quite miserable.¡±


    ¡°the most enviable thing is their relationship. they have been inseparable for so many years. they even live and die in the same quilt.¡±


    ¡°i heard that lu yanzhou was still in good health, but when wang ze just passed away, he talked to someone and explained some things, and then he stopped breathing.¡±


    ¡­


    students at lu yanzhou university talked about everything that happened back then.


    these are things that everyone knows, and even what lu yanzhou said before his death is recorded in detail.


    after all, when lu yanzhou and xie chengze were in their later years, dazhou was already developing well. at that time, lu yanzhou¡¯s students had even developed steam engines.


    however, many things in lu yanzhou and xie chengze¡¯s early years, as well as when they first ascend the throne, are confusing.


    in fact, the origin of the two people is clearly written in ¡°wang ze¡¯s biography¡¯, but various unofficial histories say that this is not the case.


    one of the most widely circulated theories is that wang ze is actually xie chengze, the murderous eunuch in the late dayan dynasty, and lu yanzhou was once xie chengze¡¯s male pet.


    isn¡¯t this nonsense!


    most people don¡¯t believe it: ¡°it was written by those wealthy families in dayan who were unwilling to let their interests suffer so they wrote to slander the two of them!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou painted many portraits of wang ze throughout his life, and in many of them, wang ze had a beard. how could he be xie chengze!¡±


    ¡°speaking of lu yanzhou¡¯s paintings¡­he painted really well. although he didn¡¯t leave many paintings, they are definitely the pinnacle of ink painting!¡±


    ¡°although lu yanzhou once wrote in his articles to thank xie chengze, saying that if xie chengze hadn¡¯t cleaned up dayan, he would never have gone so smoothly, but wang ze and xie chengze couldn¡¯t be the same person, right?¡±


    ¡°yes, it is said that xie chengze looks vicious but wang ze is recognized as a handsome man!¡±


    ¡°wang ze won¡¯t kill people just because they are ugly!¡±


    ¡°i heard that the month when xie chengze came to power, the palace was soaked with blood!¡±


    ¡°i have studied dayan¡¯s culture. at the beginning of the founding of the dazhou dynasty, the culture of dayan was still dominant then. if wang ze really was xie chengze, lu yanzhou would never be able to be with him under all those pressure at that time!¡±


    ¡­


    of course, there are a few people who believe that too. after all, there¡¯s not a single bad comment about xe chengze in various articles lu yanzhou left.


    besides¡­many of the surviving ministers from dayan dynasty who served as officials in dazhou dynasty left some articles saying that wang ze was xie chengze.


    and¡­if wang ze is really xie chengze, then it¡¯s also quite touching?


    everyone was talking and laughing when someone suddenly said: ¡°fuck! the country wants to release many manuscripts left by lu yanzhou and xie chengze. i heard that it have never been released before!¡±


    ¡°what what?¡±


    ¡°the news has just been released. no one knows exactly what it is.¡±


    ¡°a historian i follow has gone crazy and has been posting ¡®shocked¡¯ expressions all over the internet.¡±


    ¡°who is it?¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s wang san!¡±


    ¡°wang san? he has been studying lu yanzhou and wang ze, saying that he knows them both very well¡­what happened to him?¡±


    ¡°he seemed to have seen the information first, and then found that the content of the information was beyond his imagination.¡±


    ¡°as for what it is?¡±


    ¡­


    people were talking about it, so they all took out their mobile phones and started to pay attention to the news on the internet.


    only then did they realize that lu yanzhou and xie chengze left a lot of things behind and were placed in a special secret room.


    it is said that lu yanzhou and xie chengze said before their death that the secret room would not be opened until at least two hundred years later. as a result, due to various accidents, something happened to the few people who knew the existence of the secret room.


    not long ago, the country only learned of the existence of this secret room and opened it. they were also preparing to make the contents of the secret room public and conduct a historical reveal at the 500th anniversary of lu yanzhou and wang ze¡¯s death.


    well, this is lu yanzhou¡¯s request.


    ¡°what the hell is it!¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m so curious!¡±


    ¡°i heard there will be a live broadcast? i¡¯m really looking forward to it!¡±


    ¡­


    there¡¯s indeed a live boardcast. when the time came, the official account of the country started the live broadcast.


    people rushed in instantly, and then they saw that the person appearing in the live broadcast footage was wang san, the historian who had been posting ¡®shocked¡¯ expressions online.


    of course, wang san is just a nickname. when he was young, he was a playboy and loved to play and make trouble. in addition, he was the third child in the family, so he was called third young master wang.


    as a result, third young master wang stopped going to bars and started studying history. as he was getting older and his nephews and nieces were adults¡­he changed his online name to wang san.


    the wang family where wang san came from is the same wang family where wang ze was born in.


    in fact, there is no conclusion on whether wang ze is a member of the wang family, but most people still believe that wang ze was born in the wang family from ¡®wang ze¡¯s biography¡¯.


    ¡°hello everyone, i am wang san. many people should know me, and this time, i will live broadcast for everyone.¡±


    ¡°i was a little excited before and posted a lot of emoticons online. i hope everyone can forgive me for this. after coming here some time ago, i have not been allowed to access the internet. the ban was lifted an hour ago, so i urgently need to express my feelings.¡±


    ¡°okay, let¡¯s get down to business and start this live broadcast, which can be regarded as exposing lu yanzhou and wang ze¡¯s true identities to everyone!¡±


    ¡°i believe that everything you see today will definitely refresh your three views!¡±


    ¡­


    the camera followed wang san into a brightly lit room, then wang san continued: ¡°everyone, the secret room we found is a bit small and crowded, so all the things were taken out and our live broadcast will be held here.¡±


    after he finished speaking, he came to the two portraits: ¡°first of all, what everyone is curious about should be lu yanzhou and wang ze¡¯s appearance¡­don¡¯t worry, the portraits of the two that have been circulating on the market are real. they are both very handsome, from when they were young to when they were old.¡±


    there are more than two portraits, and they were only lu yanzhou and wang ze. as wang san said, the people above are very handsome.


    well, they¡¯ve seen it before!


    wang san continued at this moment: ¡°what i want to show you next are the many manuscripts left by these two people. regarding these manuscripts, lu yanzhou left letters, saying that he hoped to make them public¡­soon they will be published online with electronic versions for everyone to read for free. now, i will summarize it and tell you about it.¡±


    everyone was urging wang san to speak quickly, so wang san did not waste any time and said: ¡°first of all, let¡¯s talk about wang ze¡¯s origin. wang ze is indeed a member of the wang family.¡±


    netizens: ¡°so ¡®wang ze¡¯s biography ¡® is true?¡±


    ¡°why are you so shocked by this?¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡­


    wang san said: ¡°however, the truth is completely different from ¡®wang ze¡¯s biogrpahy¡¯¡­wang ze was actually abandoned by the wang family.¡±


    netizens couldn¡¯t believe it.


    wang san continued: ¡°you don¡¯t believe it, do you? i don¡¯t believe it either, but this is a fact. when wang ze was born, his body was different, he lacked male organs. the wang patriarch at the time, wang tingyun¡¯s father, felt that it was embarrassing for the wang family to give birth to such a child. his parents didn¡¯t want such a child either, so they asked wang tingyun to get rid of him. wang tingyun was supposed to kill him, but he couldn¡¯t bear to do it. in the end, he used some tricks, then handed him over to a family named xie to raise.¡±


    netizens were dumbfounded: ¡°xie? it¡¯s not what i thought, is it?¡±


    wang san took a deep breath: ¡°at that time, wang ze was named xie chengze. he was smart since he was a child. wang tingyun cared about blood and family ties, so he also found a teacher to teach him how to read and write.¡±


    netizens were already shocked: ¡°shocked my whole family!¡±


    ¡°wang ze is xie chengze?¡±


    ¡°unofficial history is actually true?¡±


    ¡­


    wang san continued slowly telling xie chengze¡¯s experience. it is said that his adoptive parents and younger brother were killed by the emperor, then he endured the humiliation and entered the palace: ¡°xie chengze¡¯s experience after entering the palace was recorded in detail in his autobiography. he was a ruthless man, and everything he has done, good or bad, has been written down in great detail.¡±


    ¡°then let¡¯s have a talk about how xie chengze and lu yanzhou got to know each other, and lu yanzhou origin. lu yanzhou¡¯s mother is a daughter of a wealthy family but his father is just a yamen servant with a very low status at that time¡­¡±


    wang san briefly introduced lu yanzhou¡¯s origins, and then said: ¡°that year, xie chengze was out dealing with something and met lu yanzhou by chance. he take a fancy to lu yanzhou, so he¡­tied him up and take him away immediately.¡±


    netizens sent question marks one after another.


    what did they hear? xie chengze tied up lu yanzhou and took him away?


    one must know that lu yanzhou is recognized as having great strength. although he has been engaged in research in the later period, he encountered many assassinations during this period. he often killed groups of assassins by himself!


    such a person was snatched away by xie chengze?


    ¡°of course xie chengze was able to succeed because lu yanzhou didn¡¯t resist either. in short, xie chengze liked lu yanzhou¡¯s appearance very much, so he raised lu yanzhou at home. lu yanzhou also cooked for him every day and figured out how to extract oil, improved porcelain, and helped xie chengze consolidate his position.¡±


    netizens: ¡°didn¡¯t you say these were created by wang ze?¡±


    wang san then mentioned this matter: ¡°i was wondering before, why did wang ze research so many things in his early years but he was unknown in the later period. after reading this autobiography, i realized that lu yanzhou was the only one who did the research from beginning to end. if there¡¯s someone who really traveled through time, it was only lu yanzhou. however, he gave so much credit to xie chengze just so that xie chengze will be respected.¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou and xie chengze have been together for a long time, and their relationship has become deeper and deeper. lu yanzhou realized that with xie chengze¡¯s status at that time, he would not end well in the future. thus, he gritted his teeth and decided to rebel.¡±


    ¡°this reason for rebelling is really the first in history!¡±


    netizens also think so¡­


    wang san said: ¡°while lu yanzhou was developing his power outside, he was also writing letters to xie chengze. the correspondence between the two has been preserved. you can read it after watching the live broadcast. later, when lu yanzhou learned that xie chengze had killed all yan imperial family, he hurried to the capital to rescued xie chengze¡­ ¡±


    this is simply immortal love!


    wang san continued: ¡°i saw the barrage, you¡¯re all saying it¡¯s immortal love, this is true but in xie chengze¡¯s autobiography, there is a page in which he wrote some things that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know¡­at that time, xie chengze was actually not very confident and felt that even though lu yanzhou still wrote to him after many years of separation, he might not remember the eternal oath between the two of them. he was even prepared for lu yanzhou to kill him, but even so, he still cleaned up the capital and planned to give it to lu yanzhou cleanly.¡±


    wang san read the contents of the piece of paper.


    netizens: ¡°i cried.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze really loved lu yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°he originally had such thoughts at that time, no wonder he acted so crazy!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°of course, even so, all those that xie chengze killed were those who deserves to be killed. he never took the initiative to attack innocent people because he didn¡¯t want lu yanzhou to think that he was a bad person.¡±


    ¡°wuuu¡­¡±


    wang san added, ¡°xie chengze has deep feelings for lu yanzhou, and lu yanzhou also didn¡¯t disappoint xie chengze. after he came to the capital, the first thing he did was to find xie chengze. you also know what happened after that. he made xie chengze king and empress. lu yanzhou actually has no ambitions, so much so that he handed it all to xie chengze. at that time, xie chengze¡¯s identity was too sensitive, and the world was still unstable, so he changed his name and became wang ze.¡±


    netizens are saying ¡®immortal love¡¯ again.


    wang san continued: ¡°various electronic versions, as well as picture versions, have been uploaded for everyone to look at¡­in addition, the history books may have to be rewritten. xie chengze was wang ze, and many officials at the time also knew that. it¡¯s just that it was the end of dayan then and dayan officials wrote articles all day long to criticize and hack xie chengze before, so much so that when they later told people that xie chengze was actually wang ze, no one else believed them at all!¡±


    netizens wanted to laugh: ¡°sympathy for those ministers from the former dynasty in the early years of dayan zhou dynasty!¡±


    ¡°do you remember? back then, there were people who said that their father did not forget to smear wang ze before he died. his father still insisted on saying that wang ze was xie chengze before he died¡­¡±


    ¡°suddenly i feel that those people are a little pitiful¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°there is another thing, that is, xie chengze, or wang ze¡¯s beard. wang ze was born with a physical problem, so he entered the palace directly without undergoing castration, thus his genitals may have been growing in his body. therefore his appearance is no different from ordinary man, so he can grow a beard¡­¡±


    this live broadcast lasted for a long time.


    after the live broadcast ended, everyone went to read the information together.


    ¡°what a big history reveal. is this actually trying to stuff us with dog food?¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is so good! the love letters he wrote to xie chengze in those years were really good!¡±


    ¡°i didn¡¯t expect xie jia to write such a letter. he also helped to protect lu yanzhou from romantic opportunities, hahaha! you know, in those textbooks, he has always been an old grandfather with great military merits¡­¡±


    ¡°xie jia doesn¡¯t like to write, but his daughter wrote some things about him in his later years. in his later years, he revealed that lu yanzhou asked him to help write letters to xie chengze to express his loyalty. is it these letters?¡±


    ¡°i envied their relationship before, but now i am even more envious!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°after knowing that wang ze is actually xie chengze, i like their relationship even more!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is really awesome, he actually took lu yanzhou home! he also single-handedly defeated dayan! according to what he wrote, those former ministers were really afraid of him.¡±


    ¡°he also asked them to write articles praising him, hahahaha!¡±


    ¡°no wonder the relationship between wang ze and the wang family has never been very good, so that¡¯s what happened!¡±


    ¡­


    then, someone suddenly said at this moment: ¡°uh¡­are there any students among you? i am a college student and my thesis is about them, now i have to rewrite it¡­¡±


    ¡°the teaching materials also need to be changed¡­¡±


    ¡°the price of watching immortal love is not small, wuwuwuwu!¡±


    ¡­


    t/n: lu yanzhou really likes to make people study, even the future generations weren¡¯t let off.


    next is¡­.another interstellar (master painter lu and lonely angelic painter xie)

 CH 182

    in the year 3200 of the star calendar, the xie husband and wife brought back their two children from the nursery.


    these are a pair of twins. the older one is named xie chengran, and the younger one is named xie chengze.


    these two children were very cute, but as they raised them, they gradually realized something was wrong.


    xie chengze is particularly slow to respond to the outside world.


    he was diagnosed with autism.


    star calendar year 3204, an ordinary residence somewhere in capital star.


    four-year-old xie chengran kept sobbing: ¡°why do i have to go to school but my younger brother doesn¡¯t have to go to school? i don¡¯t want to go to school!¡±


    the xie parents in their thirties wandered around their eldest son and kept trying to coax him: ¡°ranran, be good, stop crying. your brother is unwell, so he can¡¯t go to school.¡±


    ¡°ranran, if you go to school, how about mother buying you delicious food?¡±


    ¡°ranran¡­¡±


    ¡­


    not far away from them, xie chengze, who looks exactly like xie chengran, is sitting quietly in the corner.


    no one paid attention to him, and he didn¡¯t need anyone to pay attention to him either.


    he used his fingers to draw various lines on the ground.


    star calendar year 3208, it was still the same ordinary house.


    xie chengran, who was noisy and refused to go to school at that time, was already eight years old: ¡°i don¡¯t want to learn painting, it¡¯s not interesting at all!¡±


    he threw his expensive painting tools on the floor and ran back to the room crying.


    the older xie husband and wife saw this and hurriedly followed him, coaxing him not to be angry. if he didn¡¯t like painting, he could learn something else.


    xie chengze, who was unnoticed in the corner, also grew up. at the age of eight, he picked up the brush on the ground and drew the first line on the white paper.


    star calendar year 3218, a villa in the capital city.


    xie chengran, who was crying endlessly at that time, was already eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and extraordinary handsomeness.


    his appearance seemed to be a gift from the creator. once people saw him, they couldn¡¯t take their eyes away.


    he was still expressing his dissatisfaction: ¡°mom, dad, you are too partial! why should xie chengze live in a room with a large terrace on the third floor?¡±


    ¡°well, he has to paint¡­¡±


    xie chengran was very aggrieved: ¡°ever since you found out that he can paint, you only treated him well and don¡¯t care about me at all. you also want me to learn from him all day long, why is that?¡±


    ¡°well, the room is too small to fit so many painting tools.¡± father xie sighed. they have used the same room on the second floor for xie chengran¡¯s studio. xie chengran¡¯s bedroom is only a little smaller than xie chengze¡¯s room.


    ¡°anyway, you only think about him.¡± xie chengran was on the verge of tears. he didn¡¯t want a studio with a large balcony, he only wanted a bedroom with a large balcony.


    mother xie and father xie began to coax him again.


    in the corner, xie chengze, who looked exactly like xie chengran and wore the same clothes as xie chengran, stuffed the unchanging food prepared for him by the robot into his mouth. after he finished eating, he walked upstairs.


    the south-facing room on the third floor with a large terrace is filled with all kinds of painting equipment, except for a small bed in the corner.


    he came to an easel, began to mix paint, then began to paint slowly.


    when he was eating downstairs, his eyes were dull and lifeless, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with starlight.


    he painted for a while, then mother xie and father xie suddenly entered the room.


    they frowned and looked at his paintings, then began to pack away some of the painting supplies in the room, locked it up, then took away xie chengze¡¯s half-painted painting.


    they also took out an image of the sea: ¡°you have to paint the sea, you know?¡±


    seeing the half-finished painting gone, xie chengze anxiously spun in circles, like a little animal that had been robbed of its food.


    father xie and mother xie looked at him with disgust. they prepared a new easel and paper for him, then also prepared paints and brushes for him¡­


    xie chengze stood blankly for a moment, then sitting in front of the easel, he began to paint the previous painting.


    however, the paper was taken away again. mother xie pointed to the image of the sea projected on the wall opposite the easel and said dissatisfied: ¡°paint the sea, the sea! you have to paint it well. if it wasn¡¯t good, you won¡¯t get any food.¡±


    xie chengze looked at the vast ocean in the image expressionlessly for a while, then he took a brush and began to paint slowly.


    at the beginning, he was a little sluggish painting, but later he got better and better at painting, and gradually got into it, then began to concentrate on painting the sea.


    there were stars in his eyes again, but not as bright as before.


    father xie and mother xie were then satisfied. after thinking about it, they took out a camera, chose an angle and started shooting.


    ¡­


    a few days later, the painting was completed. father xie and mother xie took the painting away with satisfaction, then finally returned the unfinished painting to xie chengze.


    xie chengze silently spread out the paper and continued to paint.


    the painting he just completed was taken to school by his brother xie chengran to participate in the competition.


    eighteen-year-old xie chengran is a talented young painter. in the past two years, his paintings have won many awards and sold at high prices. it is also because of his paintings that the xie family has become richer and richer. they go from living in an ordinary residential area to a villa.


    however, those paintings were not actually painted by him, but by his younger brother xie chengze.


    ¡°xie chengran, your painting is so good!¡±


    ¡°you will definitely got first place in this school competition!¡±


    ¡°xie chengran¡­¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengran felt strangely unhappy when he heard other people¡¯s compliments: ¡°it¡¯s not that good.¡±


    ¡°you are so humble!¡±


    ¡°xie chengran, you are awesome!¡±


    ¡°you are my idol!¡±


    ¡­


    star calendar 3220.


    this year, xie chengran got accepted into the painting department of capital university and became one of the most famous painters among the younger generation.


    this year he also signed up to participate in the national college student painting competition.


    in this era where anyone who wants to can go to college and there is no pressure to study, this competition is almost a competition of strength among young painters.


    all along, as long as the top three painters in the national college student painting competition have no accident, they will become great painters whose paintings are worth thousands.


    and xie chengran is the favorite to win this competition.


    lu yanzhou opened his eyes and found himself lying on the floor of a huge studio.


    there are paints and easels everywhere around him with many half-finished paintings on the easels.


    this time he¡­transmigrated to a painter?


    that¡¯s pretty good, he has the foundation.


    when lu yanzhou first transmigrated, he was not good at painting. although he learned some painting techniques, he could only draw likenesses, but could not express the artistic conception.


    however, he had too much time.


    in his long life, he learned all kinds of painting skills and saw all kinds of scenery. when he integrated these, his painting level improved.


    now, even the things he draws casually are already different.


    sitting up from the ground, lu yanzhou realized that he was covered in paint. the entire studio was a mess, and the paintings around him were even more messy, making people feel uncomfortable just looking at them.


    how should he put it¡­looking at those paintings, one can tell that the mentality of the person who painted them isn¡¯t calm, so the paintings are naturally messy.


    however, the person who draws should have good skills.


    lu yanzhou began to receive the original owner¡¯s memory.


    after getting the original owner¡¯s memory, the first thing lu yanzhou understood was this world background.


    this is an interstellar age.


    as technology develops better and better, various machines and robots free humans from complicated manual labor.


    when every human being is born, they have no worries about food and clothing, so they are fully satisfied materially.


    everyone stops working and lives without any worries.


    then, humanity suddenly begins to feel empty.


    it became difficult for people to feel happy, until everyone discovered that top art makes people feel relaxed and happy.


    people who have nothing to do start to learn music, painting, and acting¡­and the best in these fields will be sought after by others and receive supreme glory.


    the original owner of lu yanzhou¡¯s body was a well-known painter.


    it¡¯s rare that the person he transmigated into this time was not a scumbag.


    the original owner came from a family with a literary reputation. his father was a well-known pianist and his mother was a well-known dancer.


    however, the original owner was not interested in music and dancing, but instead learned painting from his grandfather.


    when he was just over a year old, he started drawing everywhere with a paintbrush. he started to lay the foundation with his grandfather at the age of three. the original owner, who had studied hard for many years, won first place in the national college student painting competition in his first year of college, when he was twenty years old.


    nowadays, the average life expectancy of people has reached more than 120 years, and the time for people to receive education has also become longer. basically, they go to college at the age of 20 and study for five years.


    and during those five years, the original owner ranked first every year!


    after graduating from university, the original owner continued his studies and eventually became a professor at capital university. at the age of thirty, he painted his pinnacle work ¡®stars¡¯.


    the stars are vast and bright.


    this painting was recognized as a masterpiece. it made countless people feel happy. people stood in front of it fascinated and were reluctant to leave.


    it was also this painting that made the original owner, who was one of the top painters, receive numerous recognition.


    but it was also this painting that exhausted the original owner¡¯s mental energy.


    well, it cannot be said that this painting exhausted the original owner¡¯s mentality, but¡­after painting this painting, the original owner could no longer paint a better work.


    if he cannot draw good works, the original owner will be very anxious then his mental state will become very bad. if his mental state is poor, the things he draws will be even worse.


    now it has reached the point where the original owner would vomit looking at what he had drawn.


    he couldn¡¯t even pick up a paintbrush and couldn¡¯t complete a painting. he was afraid of painting and always felt that even if he did paint, what he would paint would be rubbish.


    however, the original owner is still very famous. when the national college student painting competition started again this year, the original owner was invited to be one of the judges.


    although the original owner couldn¡¯t draw, he still had an eye for it. like other judges, he paid attention to the painter named xie chengran at first glance.


    xie chengran¡¯s paintings were so good that everyone said he was another original owner, and even thought he could surpass the original owner.


    the original owner also felt that the paintings painted by the twenty-year-old xie chengran were better than those painted by him when he was 20.


    that painting even sparked his love for painting again.


    the original owner wanted to accept xie chengran as his student. he felt that xie chengran could stimulate his inspiration and make him pick up the paintbrush again.


    it would also be good for xie chengran to have him as his teacher. he is a professor at capital university, and xie chengze can study for a postgraduate degree with him.


    xie chengran happened to be a student at capital university, so the original owner went to find xie chengran. when he went, xie chengran was drawing in class.


    seeing xie chengran painting, the original owner felt something was wrong ¡ª xie chengran¡¯s basic skills were a bit too poor!


    his painting style is similar to the works he submitted for the competition, but his basic skills are quite different¡­the original owner felt that the paintings xie chengran submitted for the competition weren¡¯t painted by himself.


    the original owner felt so, thus when he was a judge and evaluated each work, he questioned xie chengran.


    as a result, everyone felt that the original owner was jealous of xie chengran, so he targeted xie chengran.


    xie chengran¡¯s road to fame is obvious to all, and one can find a lot of videos of him painting on the internet!


    how could those paintings not be painted by him?


    at this time, it was also revealed that the original owner could no longer paint. his students also took pictures of the poor paintings in the original owner¡¯s studio and posted them online, saying that the original owner¡¯s painting skills were very bad¡­


    some people even swear that the original owner¡¯s painting ¡®stars¡¯ is the work of the original owner¡¯s grandfather.


    of course, many people online began to insult the original owner and begin cyberbullying the original owner.


    the original owner was already under great mental pressure, then he finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.


    before the national college student painting competition ended, he jumped from a tall building and ended his life.


    and the time now¡­


    the national college student painting competition has just begun, but the original owner has already suspected xie chengran, and even questioned xie chengran in school, but has not yet questioned xie chengran in the competition.


    because of this, the original owner hasn¡¯t been attacked on the internet yet.

 CH 183

    lu yanzhou took a moment to break free from the original owner¡¯s memories.


    the original owner really loved painting, so he put almost all his energy and concentration into painting.


    before the age of thirty, the original owner¡¯s career was going very smoothly, and he was in high spirits. however, at the age of thirty, after he painted ¡®stars¡¯¡­


    the original owner could still draw at the beginning, but every time he painted a work, someone will always say that it was not as good as ¡®stars¡¯, he himself also thinks so too.


    he also had very high demands on himself, so gradually he couldn¡¯t paint anymore.


    the more he couldn¡¯t paint, the greater the psychological pressure, thus his mentality became tense.


    headache, insomnia, inability to eat¡­the original owner had turned himself into a skinny person.


    speaking of which, when the original owner was exposed online, some people said that the original owner had taken illegal drugs because of this.


    at that time, all kinds of dirty water were poured on the original owner one after another. the original owner was already on the verge of collapse and wanted to die several times. therefore, he naturally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and jumped off the building.


    that xie chengran was really too much.


    after lu yanzhou recalled it, he determined that xie chengran had something to do with the original owner being exposed online.


    there is even a 99% chance that it was xie chengran or the people around xie chengran who guided them.


    xie chengran is disgusting, but that¡¯s not all.


    the original owner didn¡¯t know why xie chengran¡¯s basic painting skills were so low, so he just asked him some questions. however, with the original owner¡¯s memory, he knew the whole story after a little guessing.


    those paintings that can touch people¡¯s hearts were definitely not painted by xie chengran, they should be painted by xie chengze!


    the person in those public videos of ¡®xie chengran painting¡¯ is probably not xie chengran, but his twin brother xie chengze!


    xie chengran in this world looks exactly like his aze, and he also stole his aze¡¯s achievements!


    in this interstellar world, there are many styles of mobile phones, and the name of mobile phones has also changed. they are called contact terminals.


    the original owner¡¯s contact terminal was in the style of a watch worn on his hand. he opened it, pulled out the screen, then began to read the messages on starnet.


    as soon as he logged in, lu yanzhou saw a lot of messages under the original owner¡¯s starnet account. they all wanted to see the original owner¡¯s new paintings, or wanted to buy paintings from the original owner. of course, there are also many people who like ¡®stars¡¯, so they came here to express their love.


    lu yanzhou ignored these and opened xie chengran¡¯s starnet account.


    xie chengran¡¯s online name is ¡®ranran loves painting¡¯, where he basically shares his life.


    in addition, there is an account called ¡®xie chengran official account¡¯, which is a starnet account managed by xie chengran¡¯s parents. there are videos of xie chengran painting, videos of xie chengran participating in various competitions, and various other news related to xie chengran.


    xie chengran¡¯s various work will also be sold here.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s expression softened when he saw the person painting in the video.


    that is definitely xie chengze.


    those paintings that can touch people¡¯s hearts were indeed painted by xie chengze!


    the original owner liked ¡®xie chengran¡¯s paintings¡¯ very much, so he naturally paid attention to xie chengran, and also knew that xie chengran had a younger brother with autism.


    but who would have thought that those paintings were actually painted not by xie chengran, but by xie chengze?


    lu yanzhou watched the video of xie chengze painting for a while, and then began to search for xie chengze¡¯s information.


    there is a lot of information about xie chengze on the internet.


    lu yanzhou clicked in and quickly saw several videos.


    he opened one of them and after looking at it for a while, blood rushed to his brain.


    the video was sent by a friend of xie chengran, saying that he went to xie chengran¡¯s house and saw xie chengran¡¯s younger brother¡­in the video, xie chengze was like a grumpy little beast, making a ¡®wuwu¡¯ sound and hitting his head fiercely on the wall while xie chengran stood beside him to persuade him and pull him¡­


    there seems to be nothing wrong with the entire video, and xie chengran in the video was very bright ¨C xie chengran held xie chengze in his arms and was beaten many times by xie chengze in order to prevent xie chengze from hitting the wall.


    but this world is the future world!


    who doesn¡¯t have a robot now?


    the xie family has made a lot of money from selling paintings, so why can¡¯t they buy a robot that specializes in taking care of patients?


    in the video, xie chengze scratched his face and injured his head. why didn¡¯t they let the robot stop him earlier?


    they could also set a program for the robot, then the robot will take the initiative to stop it without their request!


    and¡­when xie chengze was painting before, he was very quiet. he shouldn¡¯t be so crazy for no reason. what did xie chengran do to him to make him become like this?


    looking at the comments, people felt sorry for xie chengran and felt that xie chengran was very different from his younger brother¡­lu yanzhou¡¯s disgust for xie chengran had reached its peak.


    he took xie chengze¡¯s paintings as his and xie chengran actually didn¡¯t take good care of xie chengze. he even used xie chengze to promote himself and established himself as a good brother who loved his sick brother.


    lu yanzhou turned off his starnet and couldn¡¯t wait to see xie chengze.


    but he didn¡¯t know where xie chengze lived, and even if he knew¡­security in this era was very good, it was impossible for him to sneak into xie¡¯s house.


    as for calling the police or something, he had no definite evidence, so the police would definitely won¡¯t do anything. besides, if he was not careful, he might alert the enemy and alarm the xie family.


    while lu yanzhou was thinking of a solution, his contact terminal rang.


    the organizing committee of the national college student painting competition called him and asked him not to forget today¡¯s competition.


    the national college student painting competition lasts for one month.


    each contestant first registers online and submits a holographic photo of a painting to the preliminary round. the preliminary round is open to the public. 80% of the results come from the judges¡¯ scores and 20% from netizens¡¯ votes.


    one hundred contestants will be selected in this round, and then the second round will begin.


    the second round will not be held online, but in person.


    the one hundred contestants need to bring the painting submitted in the preliminary round and another painting to the scene, and then the judges will score the two paintings on the spot. the ten people with the highest scores will advance to the finals.


    in the finals, these ten people will take out another painting for the judges to score. the ranking will be determined based on the scores of the three paintings provided in the competition.


    what lu yanzhou will participate in tonight is the second round.


    time was a little tight, so lu yanzhou quickly changed his clothes and walked out.


    as soon as he walked outside, lu yanzhou met one of the original owner¡¯s students.


    the student who took photos of the original owner¡¯s studio and posted them online, and also spoke ill of the original owner online, and accused the original owner of many unfounded charges.


    this student of the original owner is called meng yulin, he is a young and handsome man.


    the original owner was a professor in the painting department of capital university, so he naturally had to take care of his students.


    and all this time, although the original owner was in a bad mental state, he never failed to do what he should do. he was also very kind to the students and was very attentive when giving guidance.


    even if the original owner couldn¡¯t draw anything, his basic skills were still there so he was more than capable of guiding students.


    as for this meng yulin, because he is the most talented among the original owner¡¯s students, the original owner appreciate him even more and tries his best when teaching. meng yulin¡¯s family is not in a good condition, so the original owner not only helps him apply for various subsidies, but also introduces channels for selling his paintings to him.


    as a result, meng yulin betrayed the original owner! in his description, the original owner became a person who had no ability at all and still taught students indiscriminately, delaying their future.


    this is one of the things that the original owner doesn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°professor lu,¡± meng yulin saw lu yanzhou and called out with a smile, ¡°are you going out?¡±


    ¡°yes.¡± lu yanzhou nodded and left quickly.


    he didn¡¯t want to talk to meng yulin.


    the original owner was immersed in painting and didn¡¯t care about many things, so he didn¡¯t interact with people very much, let alone look at people.


    however, seeing meng yulin now, he clearly saw the ambition, unwillingness, and jealousy in meng yulin¡¯s eyes.


    this person may have been jealous of the original owner for a long time, that¡¯s why he betray the original owner.


    this kind of person is not worth his trouble.


    lu yanzhou walked very quickly, and the way he behaved in such an irresponsible manner was the same as the original owner¡¯s normal behavior.


    the original owner has never been good at words.


    dissatisfaction flashed in meng yulin¡¯s eyes. he watched lu yanzhou leave, then walked towards lu yanzhou¡¯s studio.


    when lu yanzhou left the studio, he had already booked a car using the contact terminal. when he came to the parking lot outside, there was an unmanned car with its overhead lights on.


    lu yanzhou got into the car, then the car drove to the competition place.


    by this time, xie chengran had already arrived at the competition venue, and with him were his parents and his boyfriend.


    xie chengran¡¯s boyfriend is two years older than xie chengran, and his name is xiao rong.


    xiao rong came from a very good family. because he liked xie chengran¡¯s paintings, he started pursuing xie chengran two years ago. after two full years of pursuit, he finally stood out from xie chengran¡¯s suitors and became xie chengran¡¯s boyfriend.


    xie chengran looked nervous. seeing him like this, xiao rong said: ¡°ranran, don¡¯t be nervous. with your skills, you will definitely win first place.¡±


    xie chengran is indeed the most popular candidate to win first place. in fact, everyone thinks he will definitely be number one.


    he became famous a few years ago, and a well-known painter even said in public that his current strength has exceeded lu yanzhou¡¯s level when he was twenty years old.


    lu yanzhou is known as the most talented painter in the past century. xie chengran¡¯s level is even higher than lu yanzhou. how could he not even get first place in such a competition?


    xie chengran¡¯s face was filled with confusion: ¡°but¡­but¡­¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± xiao rong asked him.


    xie chengran gritted his teeth and said: ¡°professor lu, he seems to dislike me very much.¡±


    xiao rong frowned: ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡±


    xie chengran said: ¡°professor lu came to see me a few days ago. i was painting at the time. the way he looked at me made me very uncomfortable. he also said that i was not good at painting¡­¡±


    ¡°how are you not good at painting! you paint much better than him! i think he is just jealous of you!¡± xiao rong narrowed his eyes, displeasure flashing in his gazes.


    of course, this displeasure was not directed at xie chengran, but at lu yanzhou.


    ¡°professor lu is a judge. if he gives me a low score¡­¡±


    xiao rong said: ¡°in this competition, there is no room for him to dominate the sky with one hand! don¡¯t worry, i won¡¯t allow him to do this!¡±


    xie chengran looked at xiao rong expectantly. he knows that xiao rong is very powerful, but now it seems¡­xiao rong can also intervene in this competition.


    xiao rong can indeed intervene in this competition, but he actually doesn¡¯t think lu yanzhou will do anything. after all, it will be broadcast live later: ¡°ranran, you can relax. it will broadcast live later, and your skills are there for all to see. lu yanzhou will never give you a low score for the sake of his own reputation.¡±


    ¡°mm.¡± xie chengran responded and lowered his head.


    xie chengran also felt that lu yanzhou would not give him a low score. what he was afraid of was actually that lu yanzhou would say something he shouldn¡¯t have said later.


    when xie chengran was complaining to his boyfriend, lu yanzhou had just arrived.


    when he transmigrated, the original owner was actually drawing and vomiting due to the psychological pressure, then he finally fainted.


    in the original trajectory that he didn¡¯t come. the original owner who fainted was awakened by the sound of his terminal, but his condition was still very bad. when he rushed over after cleaning up, he was already late.


    the whole competition was broadcast live. because of this incident, the original owner was criticized and disliked from the beginning.


    however, he arrived on time, and because of this, as soon as lu yanzhou entered, someone from the organizing committee of the competition came over to greet him: ¡°professor lu, please take care of xie chengran during this competition.¡±


    lu yanzhou looked at this person. he smiled and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, i will take good care of him.¡± wait, he will definitely ¡®take care¡¯ of xie chengran!


    the people in the organizing committee heard this and felt relieved.


    during the preliminary competition, lu yanzhou liked xie chengran¡¯s paintings very much.


    not only did he give full marks to xie chengran¡¯s paintings, he also kept praising him and wanted xie chengran to study at his place for graduate school¡­he believed that lu yanzhou would definitely show his appreciation for xie chengran later.


    young master xiao even asked him to say something, he really thought too much!


    the people from the organizing committee quickly went elsewhere. lu yanzhou tidied up his clothes and began to think about what to do next.


    although the original owner raised doubts, because there was no evidence and he liked xie chengran¡¯s paintings, he still gave xie chengran high marks in the end.


    however, xie chengran was not satisfied and insisted on forcing the original owner to death.


    then, he will give xie chengran a zero!

 CH 184

    there are ten judges in the national college student painting competition, and their scores, when averaged, become the participant¡¯s score.


    and lu yanzhou is the youngest among the ten judges.


    there are no strict criteria for judging art. everyone likes and appreciates different things. therefore, in this industry, the situation of looking down upon others is very serious.


    the original owner is 36 years old this year. he appeared in the limelight more than ten years ago. six years ago, his painting ¡®stars¡¯ shocked the world and suppressed many established painters. naturally, these established painters were dissatisfied with him.


    in addition, the original owner was not social, so his relationship with the other nine judges was not good.


    however, even if the relationship between the two parties is not good, in front of the live broadcast camera, everyone still greets each other with a smile.


    in the second round, each of them had to score a hundred contestants, so there is a total of two hundred paintings. this was a huge project, but they had actually seen these paintings in advance, so the speed was faster.


    the original owner had carefully appreciated the two paintings submitted by xie chengran a few days ago. it was precisely because of this that when he saw xie chengran¡¯s basic skills a few days ago, he immediately realized that something was wrong.


    xie chengran said that he was in poor condition and had no inspiration, so he failed to draw well in school. however, the original owner, who was always in poor condition, knew very well that no matter how bad a person¡¯s condition is, their basic skills are still there.


    even if the original owner couldn¡¯t draw anything, after he saw a rare color, he could mix the same color with common paints at hand in a few clicks, allowing him to imitate other people¡¯s paintings. he could even paint it like the real one making people unable to tell which is the fake and real one.


    it¡¯s just that this kind of imitation has no soul, so the original owner wouldn¡¯t do such a thing.


    the order of the contestants is determined by their scores in the preliminary round, from lowest to highest.


    therefore, although the skills of the first contestants are not bad, they are not at the top level. many of them have already produced their best works in the preliminary round, so now there is not much competition in the semi-finals.


    lu yanzhou and the other judges simply gave them scores, then let them leave.


    however, there will occasionally be some small episodes. for example, when a certain student came on stage, a judge said: ¡°oh, this is my useless grandson. you all follow the rules and give him a good score, but me, i¡¯ll just show favoritism for once and give him a higher score.¡±


    the average score after the ten judges¡¯ scores was the contestant¡¯s score. if a single judge gives a higher score, it will not have a big impact on the overall score. therefore, even if they do this, others will not think much of it and will just laugh at the matter.


    there are also paintings drawn by some contestants that are relatively niche. some judges particularly like them and will also give higher scores. however, there are also judges who don¡¯t like this type of painting and will give lower scores.


    everyone was laughing and joking, the judges were also chatting with each other.


    except for lu yanzhou. if others didn¡¯t ask him questions, he wouldn¡¯t say anything and would just give out scores quietly.


    when others asked him, or when a contestant said that he was the person he liked and admired the most, he would only give a brief reply.


    however, the scores he gave out were very stable every time, basically similar to the average score.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t compete for the camera at all. however, many people on the live broadcast paid attention to him, many people even came to watch the live broadcast because of him.


    ¡°i finally saw lu yanzhou again!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is my favorite painter, the eternal god of ¡®stars¡¯!¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s a pity that he hardly attends events!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is so handsome!¡±


    ¡°i watch this show just for him!¡±


    ¡°he¡¯s very concise in scoring!¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou still has many fans, but there are also some people who don¡¯t like lu yanzhou: ¡°lu yanzhou hasn¡¯t had any works in several years, right? he¡¯s out of style.¡±


    ¡°how is he handsome?¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s quite a big name!¡±


    ¡­


    the two sides talked and even quarreled.


    however, those who watched the live broadcast talked the most about xie chengran. after all, in the painting world, xie chengran is now almost at the top.


    although lu yanzhou has many fans, he became popular more than ten years ago. those fans he had back then are now grown and have to work and support their families. they don¡¯t have that much time to help cheer for lu yanzhou.


    xie chengran¡¯s fans are different. xie chengran became famous a few years ago. he is good-looking and talented. countless young people admire him. most of these people are students. they have time to chase stars and are willing to give their time to idols.


    even though xie chengran was the last one to appear and took a long time to appear, his name was still floating on the screen.


    ¡°this painting is nothing compared to my ranran¡¯s!¡±


    ¡°this person¡¯s painting is a bit similar to my ranran¡¯s previous painting.¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m really looking forward to ranran¡¯s appearance!¡±


    ¡°waiting for ranran!¡±


    ¡°how is lu yanzhou handsome? he¡¯s not as handsome as ran ran!¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengran¡¯s fans were so crazy that lu yanzhou¡¯s fans and the other fans became dissatisfied with his fans, thus the two sides kept fighting.


    however, the competition is still on.


    the further they get to the back, the higher the level of the players who come out. they are all between 20 and 30 years old. with such a level, it is really good!


    lu yanzhou believed that they were all like the original owner, who spent a lot of time learning painting since childhood and were very talented.


    the second to last place is a twenty-five-year-old girl. she has participated in this painting competition every year since five years ago, and her ranking has been higher each time. this is the last time she will participate in this competition.


    her paintings are beautiful and full of aura. if it weren¡¯t for xie chengran, she would definitely be number one.


    the judges were all full of praise for her, and lu yanzhou also gave her high marks: ¡°you have very good basic skills and very good painting skills. you also have your own style that is different from others. i really appreciate your paintings. it could make people feel calm after looking at it, i believe you will have a bright future.¡±


    ¡°thank you! teacher lu!¡± the girl looked at lu yanzhou excitedly, ¡°i am your fan, i have always liked your paintings!¡±


    ¡°thank you.¡± lu yanzhou smiled at the girl.


    according to the original historical trajectory, after the original owner¡¯s accident, this girl spoke up for the original owner. she said that the original owner¡¯s previous paintings, especially ¡®stars¡¯, could not have been painted by the original owner¡¯s grandfather.


    she also said that the painting was clearly the original owner¡¯s style, not the original owner¡¯s grandfather¡¯s!


    although the original owner was taught by the original owner¡¯s grandfather, people who really understand painting can actually see the difference between the two.


    what¡¯s more, paintings can reflect some of the painter¡¯s emotions. the painting ¡®stars¡¯ is full of vigor and vitality. it could not have been painted by the original owner¡¯s old grandfather. it¡¯s obviously the work of a young man.


    however, just because of what she did, in the end, like the original owner, she was hack by xie chengran¡¯s fans online.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s smile made his fans go crazy: ¡°ahhh! lu yanzhou smiled!¡±


    ¡°he is so handsome, really handsome!¡±


    ¡°i envy this contestant!¡±


    ¡°if only he could smile at me!¡±


    ¡°he rarely talks this much!¡±


    ¡°is it because he likes the contestant¡¯s paintings? will he say more when the first place is announced?¡±


    ¡­


    even xie chengran¡¯s fans are now looking forward to seeing lu yanzhou praising xie chengran when he appears.


    although someone once said that the xie chengran¡¯s painting skills has caught up to or even exceeded the original owner when he was twenty years old, but he has not yet caught up with the original owner when he was in his twenties, let alone when he was thirty years old!


    no matter how talented xie chengran is, he is still just a junior.


    no matter how high the price of his paintings is sold, they are far less than the original owner!


    ¡°our ranran paints better!¡±


    ¡°professor lu will praise our ranran more later!¡±


    ¡°ranran is finally going to appear, i really looked forward to it!¡±


    ¡°fight, ranran!¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengran appeared in front of everyone¡¯s attention, along with the two paintings he brought.


    these two paintings, one depicts the rising sun and the other depicts mountains and rivers, are both very beautiful.


    seeing them will make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.


    it seems that just seeing them makes people feel satisfied.


    those displeasures, those pains, and those struggles are nothing, as long as they saw the painting.


    the original owner was moved by such emotions.


    the host took the longest time to introduce xie chengran, who everyone actually knew, and then said: ¡°now, judges, please give out scores!¡±


    the score of this competition is a ten-point system. even the first ones to appear on stage, even if the contestants are not very good in the judges¡¯ views, the judges still gave a score of nine points or more.


    it¡¯s just that at the beginning, the scores of those contestants were just a little more than 9.1 and more than 9.2. later, the scores of the contestants became more than 9.7 and 9.8.


    lu yanzhou gave a score of 9.95 for the previous contestant, so her average score was 9.92.


    this time it was xie chengran who came on stage¡­each judge wrote down their score on their own scoreboard.


    previously, the process was that many judges would show their scores together, calculate the average score, and occasionally a judge would comment.


    however, this is xie chengran.


    it¡¯s xie chengran who the program team wants to praise!


    lu yanzhou saw from the original owner¡¯s memory that the host asked the judges to highlight their scores one by one and comment one by one.


    xie chengran¡¯s shots were several times more than the previous contestant.


    that being the case¡­lu yanzhou happily wrote down a zero.


    the original owner questioned xie chengran and gave xie chengran a high score of 9.99. xie chengran really got it cheap, making xie chengran pass with first place.


    as expected, the host praised xie chengran, then said, ¡°i think the judges have all scored. which judge will reveal the score first?¡±


    one of the ten judges laughed: ¡°i¡¯ll go first!¡±


    the judge directly gave xie chengran 10 points and praised xie chengran lavishly.


    lu yanzhou was not surprised at all. this person was the one who said that xie chengran¡¯s current level had exceeded the original owner¡¯s level when he was twenty years old.


    he has always disliked the original owner, and to suppress the original owner, he can¡¯t help but exalt xie chengzheng.


    when the original owner participated in the competition at the age of twenty, no one gave him a perfect score of 10.


    as for the original owner¡¯s level when he was twenty years old and xie chengran, no, comparing it to xie chengze¡¯s current level¡­to be honest, the original owner is no worse than xie chengze.


    first of all, the original owner¡¯s basic skills were better, and secondly¡­the paintings that xie chengran took out were always not so harmonious in some small places.


    lu yanzhou felt that this should be related to xie chengze¡¯s environment.


    judging from the starnet accounts of xie chengran and his parents, they didn¡¯t take xie chengze with them when they went out to play.


    xie chengze has been staying at home, unable to see the world with his eyes or touch the world with his hands. maybe he has not received professional training¡­


    on the contrary, the original owner observed the world as his grandfather took him everywhere since he was a child. there is also the step-by-step guidance from the original owner teacher, which is certainly incomparable.


    however, there is something about these paintings that surpasses the original owner¡¯s, and that is purity.


    the original owner was pursuing a higher goal, he had a winning mentality, so he always wanted to paint better and better. his paintings were not as pure as xie chengze¡¯s paintings.


    when xie chengze paints, he really just wants to paint.


    how about the original owner? if he only had to paint, he wouldn¡¯t have had a nervous breakdown.


    in short, it¡¯s difficult to compare the level of the two parties when they were both twenty years old. in fact, it is difficult to distinguish the painting. if he has to compare the painting, the original owner¡¯s painting is better.


    not everyone can appreciate xie chengze¡¯s purity.


    the second judge was much more ¡®fair¡¯. she did not give 10 points, but gave 9.98 points. of course, she also praised xie chengran for a long time.


    then came the third, fourth, fifth¡­


    by the time the ninth judge finished their evaluation, xie chengran¡¯s average score was already as high as 9.98.


    when the original owner participated in the competition for the first time, his score was only 9.95. xie chengran completely beat the original owner.


    the host looked at lu yanzhou with a smile: ¡°professor lu is the only one who has not given a score now. what score did professor lu give our ranran? can we reveal it now?¡±


    ¡°of course.¡± lu yanzhou stood up and showed his score board, showing a big 0 on it.


    the scoreboard was connected to the internet. as soon as his score was displayed, xie chengran¡¯s average score immediately changed, becoming 89.82.


    this is the lowest score among a hundred players!


    the whole place was in an uproar, everyone was stunned, and the people watching the live broadcast were even more stunned.


    the host couldn¡¯t even react: ¡°professor lu, did you make a mistake?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i did not make a mistake. this is the score i gave xie chengran. if i were to score the two paintings he brought, i will give ten points, but if i am giving him points, i will only give zero points.¡±


    ¡°professor lu, i know you don¡¯t like me and you don¡¯t like me, but this is a competition, can¡¯t you be fair?¡± xie chengranhong ask loudly with red eyes.


    the people watching the live broadcast finally came to their senses at this time: ¡°what¡¯s going on with lu yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°why did he give zero points?¡±


    ¡°is he jealous of ranran and deliberately gave low points?¡±


    ¡°isn¡¯t lu yanzhou going too far?¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is not such a person! there must be a reason for him to do this!¡±


    ¡°what could be the reason? he just saw that ranran was going to surpass him, so he deliberately suppressed ranran!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°i¡¯m very fair,¡± lu yanzhou stared at xie chengran, ¡°xie chengran, i liked your painting very much when i first saw it. during your preliminary competition, i gave you full marks without hesitation. i think someone who can draw such a painting must be a pure person and he will definitely be able to surpass me and surpass all the judges present.¡±


    although xie chengran looks exactly like xie chengze, lu yanzhou feels that he is really unappealing to look at from the start.


    before anyone else could say anything, lu yanzhou added: ¡°but i went to see you a few days ago and saw you painting with my own eyes! although your painting style is similar to the work you submitted, the paintings you painted have no such soul in it. your basic skills are much worse than these two paintings! i have every reason to suspect that the two paintings you took out were not painted by you! instead, you took the work of others!¡±


    ¡°professor lu, you can¡¯t slander me! these paintings were all painted by me, and there are videos to prove it!¡± xie chengran said in a panic, looking at lu yanzhou with a pair of tearful eyes, looking extremely pitiful.


    it¡¯s a pity that lu yanzhou has no sympathy for him at all.


    the original owner only questioned him a few words, but lu yanzhou went further: ¡°xie chengran, i am a professor of the painting department of capital university, and you are a student of the painting department of capital university. i have seen you in school more than once. you have always invited friends to play everywhere, you like all kinds of luxury goods, and you spend a lot of time having fun. in this case, how do you manage to sell various works steadily in the past few years? how could you, being so vain, draw such pure work?¡±


    without waiting for xie chengran¡¯s explanation, lu yanzhou added: ¡°how can ordinary people take video recordings when they paint? did you already guess that someone would question you so you used this as evidence? as for those videos, who knows if you were standing in front of the easel and posing for a few minutes? also, the videos are not immune to fraud! who knows if you asked someone to edit these videos?¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s words scared everyone else present. the host and judges all said, ¡°professor lu, you¡¯re getting too agitated!¡±


    ¡°professor lu, you can¡¯t talk nonsense without evidence!¡±


    ¡°professor lu¡­¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou actually wanted to expose xie chengze¡¯s situation directly and say in front of those watching the live broadcast that those paintings were painted by xie chengze.


    however, others may not necessarily believe him. the most important thing is that xie chengze is in the xie family¡¯s hands.


    there are so many high-tech means now. even as far as he knows, xie chengran¡¯s parents are at the competition, but if they remotely control the robot at home to hurt xie chengze, what will he do?


    they can also destroy all evidence immediately!


    the most important thing is that the organizing committee has always taken care of xie chengran¡¯s situation, which also made lu yanzhou aware of another thing that the original owner was not aware of.


    there should be someone behind xie chengran!


    the original owner¡¯s family was well off. the original owner¡¯s parents, maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, all knew many people, and had a huge network of contacts.


    with xie chengran¡¯s family background, he couldn¡¯t possibly hack the original owner so much that the original owner couldn¡¯t clarify himself. therefore, it has to be the people behind him who did it.


    that man is not only powerful, he is also ruthless!


    just because the original owner questioned xie chengran, that person ruined the original owner¡¯s reputation.


    if he tells others about xie chengze, who knows what that person will do to xie chengze in order to protect xie chengran?


    he must wait until he is completely sure before catching all these people in one fell swoop.


    this time won¡¯t be long.


    lu yanzhou finally endured it, didn¡¯t mention xie chengze but pointed his suspicion elsewhere: ¡°before this competition, the organizing committee specially found me and asked me to take care of you during the competition¡­xie chengran, your family background is not small, you see, even the organizing committee¡¯s scoring rules have been changed for you. this is because they are determined to praise you¡­are these paintings really painted by you, not by the teacher who taught you to paint?¡±


    xie chengran¡¯s face was ashen.


    lu yanzhou was quite happy: ¡°xie chengran, you are a disgusting thief. you only deserve zero points.¡±

 CH 185

    lu yanzhou talked a lot, but actually didn¡¯t spend much time.


    then, after he finished saying loudly that xie chengran only deserved zero points, someone immediately came up to pull him out: ¡°professor lu, you are drunk!¡±


    ¡°i am not drunk, everything i said was from the bottom of my heart. xie chengran, do you dare to paint on the spot to prove that these two paintings were painted by you?¡± lu yanzhou looked at xie chengran.


    xie chengran looked extremely aggrieved: ¡°professor lu, why are you targeting me like this? these paintings were all painted by me!¡±


    ¡°professor lu! you can¡¯t accuse the contestants without any basis!¡±


    ¡°the live broadcast has been stopped!¡±


    ¡°professor lu, how can you give someone a zero based on subjective assumptions!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou, even if you are jealous of xie chengran, you can¡¯t do such a thing!¡±


    ¡°professor lu¡­¡±


    ¡­


    everyone at the scene gathered around lu yanzhou. those who were friendly to lu yanzhou would persuade lu yanzhou to change his scores. those who were unfriendly to lu yanzhou would accuse lu yanzhou, saying that they felt that lu yanzhou was jealous of xie chengran, so he deliberately targeted him.


    in the original historical trajectory, after the original owner questioned xie chengran, he still gave xie chengran high marks. the show ended successfully, but many people were angry with the original owner afterwards, thinking that the original host questioned xie chengran like that because of jealousy.


    at that time, everyone felt that xie chengran¡¯s paintings could not be painted by others. the paintings that xie chengran sells are from bad to good. his painting style has matured but has not changed.


    and xie chengran has released many videos of him painting.


    many of the paintings he sells were painted in his videos.


    how could those paintings not be painted by him?


    but now¡­lu yanzhou has made such a fuss, the live broadcast has stopped, and the competition has also stopped. some people present are thinking about what lu yanzhou said, so they are also a little suspicious.


    the main point is for lu yanzhou to make such a fuss out of jealousy¡­he can¡¯t be that crazy, right?


    this is a live broadcast! if lu yanzhou really lies during the live broadcast, his future will be ruined when xie chengran clarifies!


    suppressing the juniors and sabotaging important competition¡­this will be a black stain that lu yanzhou will never be able to whitewash!


    but even if they had doubts about xie chengran, these people felt that there was no need for lu yanzhou to do this ¡ª he could mention it on other occasions, or find evidence first.


    the person in charge of the competition also came in a hurry: ¡°lu yanzhou, apologize to xie chengran! you ruined the competition and spread rumors, you have to pay for a breach of contract!¡±


    ¡°i told the truth and in accordance with the law. there are stipulated points, so why should i pay the liquidated damages? as for apologizing, this is impossible.¡± lu yanzhou looked at the mess in front of him leisurely.


    he noticed that a young man appeared next to xie chengran. the young man was looking at him with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to kill him.


    is this person the person behind xie chengran? looking at the closeness between him and xie chengran¡­is he xie chengran¡¯s boyfriend?


    the person in charge of the competition said: ¡°lu yanzhou, if you do this, we will go to court and sue you!¡±


    ¡°sue as you want, anyway, i will not change my rating!¡± lu yanzhou sneered, ¡°this stage competition has such an inside story, i won¡¯t stay here any longer either.¡±


    lu yanzhou knew that if he continued like this, someone might come to drive him away, so he might as well leave now and walk away in style.


    lu yanzhou strode out, while the person in charge of the organizing committee looked at xiao rong subconsciously.


    xiao rong frowned and nodded slightly.


    the person in charge did not stop him and allowed lu yanzhou to go out.


    the driverless car was already waiting outside. lu yanzhou got in the car and directly reported his grandfather¡¯s address.


    his contact terminal was ringing frantically at this moment. his family, friends, and even people he only met once were all calling him.


    lu yanzhou hung up on most of them and only answered his grandfather¡¯s call.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s grandfather is yu qinshan, one of the living painting masters. he is over ninety years old, but he is still in good spirits.


    competitions like the national college student painting competition are very important. one of the judges of the competition is his grandson, so yu qinshan specially watched the live broadcast.


    when xie chengran appeared, yu qinshan actually liked this young and handsome boy, and thought that with his grandson¡¯s character, he would definitely like xie chengran¡¯s paintings too.


    as a result, his grandson said such shocking words. yu qinshan was shocked.


    however, yu qinshan believed in his grandson.


    his grandson wasn¡¯t a perfect person, but he wouldn¡¯t lie in a place like this.


    for his grandson to say this, there is definitely something wrong with xie chengran!


    yu qinshan believed in his grandson, but was afraid that his grandson would suffer, so he contacted his grandson immediately: ¡°yanzhou, are you okay?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i¡¯m okay. grandpa, i have something to tell you¡­i¡¯ll be there soon!¡±


    ¡°okay!¡± said yu qinshan.


    lu yanzhou thought for a moment, then called his parents and told them that he would go to his grandfather¡¯s place.


    after the original owner questioned xie chengran, he never expected that xie chengran would hold a grudge against him. neither did the original owner¡¯s family, so his family naturally had no time to make any preparations.


    but now that lu yanzhou has made up his mind to confront xie chengran, it won¡¯t be that simple.


    lu yanzhou also called the police after that.


    what lu yanzhou caused was really not a small matter.


    when he gave out zero points, everyone watching the live broadcast was already shocked. when he accused xie chengran in public, the live broadcast stopped immediately, so the internet suddenly became a commotion.


    ¡°what¡¯s going on with lu yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°he said that xie chengran¡¯s paintings were not painted by xie chengran? how is that possible!¡±


    ¡°i am a fan of xie chengran. i watched him grow up little by little. my family ranran painted the paintings. you can find a lot of videos online. how could ranran¡¯s paintings not be painted by him!¡±


    ¡°yes! every time ranran goes somewhere to play, he will draw the scenery of that place. the two works he took to participate were paintings of places he has been to, how could it not be painted by him?!¡±


    ¡°is lu yanzhou crazy? ranran was born into an ordinary family, so it was well known that ranran couldn¡¯t even use good paints in the beginning! on the contrary, lu yanzhou, who doesn¡¯t know that his family is rich and powerful? he is the one with a backer but instead falsely accuses others of having a backer, he simply stinks!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is just jealous of my ranran. is he afraid that my ranran¡¯s grades will surpass his? how disgusting!¡±


    ¡­


    although there are also lu yanzhou¡¯s fans who speak up for lu yanzhou and felt that lu yanzhou will not talk nonsense on such an important occasion. however, xie chengran¡¯s fans were so powerful that he scolded these people into oblivion.


    the most important thing is that most of lu yanzhou¡¯s fans are older, so they don¡¯t really want to argue with some children.


    of course, there are also some people who are clamoring that they weren¡¯t lu yanzhou fans anymore, but who knows if they were really fans of lu yanzhou before.


    in short, there are countless people on the internet criticizing lu yanzhou. therefore, more and more people are paying attention to this competition.


    many people also checked xie chengran and xie chengran¡¯s parents¡¯ accounts because of what lu yanzhou said.


    then they all thought¡­those paintings were painted by xie chengran, right? if it wasn¡¯t painted by xie chengran, who could have painted it?


    in short, ordinary passers-by, after understanding the situation, basically expressed their good-will to chengran.


    ¡°although xie chengran¡¯s paintings in the beginning were so soulful, they were very immature. you could tell at a glance that they were painted by a beginner. later, his paintings gradually got better.¡±


    ¡°if it were painted by someone else, how could someone who draws so well be willing to give their work for someone to pass off as their own?¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is just talking nonsense, right? he has no works for a long time and has no traffic. is he planning to take the infamous route?¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t look at starnet, but he can make a rough guess about how he was evaluated on starnet.


    xie chengran¡¯s disguise is too good. he should have been learning xie chengze¡¯s style of painting too, so outsiders naturally would never think that all of his paintings were actually painted by someone else.


    the car stopped, lu yanzhou got out of the car and strode towards the villa where his grandfather lived.


    as soon as he walked to the door, a robot opened the door of the villa. lu yanzhou went in and saw yu qinshan sitting on the sofa looking at him.


    ¡°grandpa.¡± lu yanzhou called.


    ¡°yanzhou, what happened to you? why are you so impulsive?¡± yu qinshan asked with a frown.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°grandpa, i fell in love with someone, and then¡­discovered a secret.¡±


    yu qinshan was surprised when he heard this. his grandson like someone?


    in fact, yu qinshan has always known that his grandson has been in poor condition over the past six years.


    he also tried to help his grandson find a way and even tried to persuade him, but his grandson¡¯s condition did not get better, but became worse and worse.


    yu qinshan had no choice but to wait for his grandson to open up on his own.


    those who engage in art basically have a trough period. his grandson is still young, so it doesn¡¯t matter if he wastes a few years.


    he believed that when his grandson figured it out or encountered some opportunity, he would be able to rise from the ashes.


    yu qinshan¡¯s thoughts were not wrong. in fact, the original owner had some ideas after seeing xie chengran¡¯s paintings.


    he wanted to get back to his childhood self, who simply loved painting. he planned to leave everything behind and start painting regardless of anything.


    this is why he couldn¡¯t wait to find xie chengran, but found out that there was something wrong with xie chengran.


    yu qinshan asked lu yanzhou: ¡°what is going on?¡± based on his grandson¡¯s current situation, it stands to reason that he shouldn¡¯t be in the mood to fall in love.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°grandpa, you also know that i have been in poor condition in the past few years, but since i saw the paintings that xie chengran took out, i found that i have regained my original intention of painting, and my inspiration has continued. later, i went to watch a video posted by his parents on starnet, which was said to be a video of him painting, then i fell in love with the painter.¡±


    yu qinshan was confused. his grandson fell in love with xie chengran? then why did he make trouble for xie chengran?


    lu yanzhou continued: ¡°i fell in love with him, so i naturally observed him very carefully¡­i found that the person painting in the video was not xie chengran! that person should be xie chengran¡¯s younger brother xie chengze.¡±


    ¡°xie chengran also have a younger brother?¡± yu qinshan asked.


    ¡°yes, xie chengran has a twin brother who suffers from autism.¡± lu yanzhou smiled bitterly, ¡°because he has autism, the paintings he draws are so pure. xie chengran is different. he is vain, hypocritical, utilitarian, greedy¡­ underneath his beautiful skin is a rotten stinking soul. he is definitely not the one who painted those paintings.¡±


    ¡°do you have evidence?¡± yu qinshan asked. he believed his grandson, but this kind of thing requires evidence.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i don¡¯t have evidence, but talent cannot be faked. i can guarantee that xie chengran can¡¯t paint like that. grandpa, you don¡¯t know, i went all the way to see him paint, but it turned out that his skills are not even one-tenth of his brother¡¯s!¡±

 CH 186

    lu yanzhou showed the information he found on the internet about xie chengze to his grandfather: ¡°grandpa, xie chengran used xie chengze¡¯s paintings to package himself as a talented painter and uses the money xie chengze earned to maintain his extravagant life, but he can¡¯t even give the most basic care to xie chengze. i can¡¯t accept this situation¡­grandpa, i need your help.¡±


    ¡°what do you want?¡± yu qinshan asked.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i want to rescue xie chengze.¡±


    ¡°then you shouldn¡¯t be so impulsive¡­¡±


    ¡°grandpa, i can make things bigger only when i am more impulsive.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    the original owner didn¡¯t do anything to xie chengran but was scolded bloody.


    he almost pointed at xie chengran¡¯s nose today and scolded him, thus, a storm is coming.


    as a result, things became bigger.


    this is good for him.


    yu qinshan sighed: ¡°what do you want me to do?¡±


    lu yanzhou asked his grandfather to investigate the people behind xie chengran, and by the way, contact some painters who were as famous as his grandfather and ask them to come over tomorrow.


    he¡¯s going to do something big!


    yu qinshan agreed.


    the two discussed it for a long time, then yu qinshan suddenly asked, ¡°do you still like xie chengze?¡±


    ¡°of course!¡± lu yanzhou answered with hesitation.


    yu qinshan¡¯s face twitched: ¡°he suffers from autism, and his symptoms are not mild. in this condition, he cannot fall in love or start a family with others!¡±


    no matter how good a painter xie chengze is, judging from the videos related to him from the xie family, he has almost no ability to communicate and his behavior is out of control. such people have no ability to live independently. according to the law, others cannot marry them either.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i know, but it doesn¡¯t affect my love for him.¡±


    yu qinshan¡¯s lips trembled, his beard moved up and down, he wanted to scold his grandson.


    but he held back.


    his grandson has never been in contact with xie chengze, and the one he likes is just a phantom on the internet. it is because of xie chengze¡¯s paintings that he fell in love with xie chengze.


    this kind of love disappeared when reality hit it.


    he didn¡¯t believe that his grandson would still like xie chengze after taking care of him who couldn¡¯t take care of himself.


    the top priority is to rescue xie chengze. his grandson¡¯s condition was bad. there is no doubt that xie chengze¡¯s paintings can help his grandson.


    yu qinshan thought so and went to call his old friends.


    lu yanzhou saw this and said, ¡°grandpa, i¡¯m going to the studio.¡±


    lu yanzhou quietly went to his grandfather¡¯s studio.


    next, xie chengran will definitely throw all kinds of dirty water on him, and this is what he must clean up.


    he can start preparing now!


    in this world, there are many types of painting, such as oil painting, watercolor painting, sketching¡­people use all kinds of brushes, and some people also choose special materials to paint.


    on the contrary, ink painting, which uses brushes to draw, gradually declined.


    there are still many people who can paint ink paintings, but since the interstellar era, there have been no painters famous for their ink paintings. the various ink paintings full of artistic conception that lu yanzhou has seen in other worlds weren¡¯t seen in this world ¡ª those paintings were lost in the long river of history and have not been preserved.


    in fact, other paintings, such as oil paintings, and some historical works have also disappeared, but later some oil painting master painters emerged, so they left many works that are no worse than historical works. thus, the inheritance has continued.


    that is to say, regarding ink painting, there has never been a work that can touch people¡¯s hearts and be immortal.


    the original owner was an oil painter. lu yanzhou had the memory of the original owner and could also paint oil paintings, but he felt that he might not be able to paint better than the original owner.


    in this case, he might as well take another path.


    in his previous life, he had been living in ancient times. although he was very busy in the early years, in order to avoid various problems arising from the rapid development of society, he no longer did much research. in addition to dealing with government affairs, he usually just studies.


    there were not many things to learn in ancient times, but he had a good memory and learned things quickly. later, he spent most of his time painting.


    his current level of ink painting is definitely the highest in his history!


    his state of mind is far beyond ordinary people!


    lu yanzhou¡¯s grandparents divorced very early, so his grandfather has been living alone in this villa.


    because his grandfather loved painting¡­the entire second floor of this villa covering an area of ??more than 300 square meters was a studio.


    in other words, there is a huge studio here, covering more than 300 square meters.


    the third floor of this villa is also a huge warehouse, which contains a variety of painting materials!


    traditional ink painting is relatively niche in this era, but yu qinshan still collected a lot of paper, brushes, and ink.


    lu yanzhou found these things, went to his grandfather¡¯s studio, spread out the drawing paper, and started painting.


    there are many types of traditional ink painting. when lu yanzhou first started learning, he painted meticulous paintings.


    when painting, he would carefully carve out every detail.


    he would draw the hair of ladies and the fur of kittens with the tip of his brush.


    he would also paint leaves and petals piece by piece, dyeing them deeply and lightly.


    however, as he painted more and for a longer period of time, he was able to paint more casually. the banana leaf that he had to draw slowly with a brush earlier can now be drawn with just one stroke.


    it¡¯s like a beginner learning calligraphy practicing regular script. at first it takes a long time to write each character, but in the end when writing cursive script, it becomes natural with just one stroke of the brush.


    relying on this, lu yanzhou completed several paintings in a short time.


    at this time, people have no shortage of material enjoyment, so their appreciation of art is getting higher and higher. they pay special attention to the feeling of various works, which is simply the artistic conception.


    and these paintings of his are definitely not lacking in artistic conception.


    he was an emperor in his previous life! the landscape paintings he drew casually at this moment all gave people a majestic aura that made it unique in the world!


    after lu yanzhou painted several landscape paintings, he calmed down and painted a few more flower and bird paintings.


    by the end¡­he had painted a portrait.


    that was xie chengze standing in the imperial garden, smiling slightly at him.


    when painting other paintings, lu yanzhou only had an open mind, but it was different when painting this painting.


    he poured all his love into this painting.


    anyone who sees this painting will feel the love rushing towards them.


    lu yanzhou had been painting this painting for a long time. he didn¡¯t want to use freehand painting when painting xie chengze.


    but it didn¡¯t take long for him to paint.


    after all, in his previous life, and before that, the one he drew the most was xie chengze.


    he was already very familiar with this kind of painting from painting in his previous life before.


    when lu yanzhou finally finished painting and put down the brush, he heard his grandfather¡¯s voice: ¡°when did you learn ink painting?¡±


    lu yanzhou turned his head and saw his grandfather standing not far from him with two friends.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i learned this after painting ¡®stars¡¯. i felt that it would be difficult for me to paint a better oil painting than ¡®stars¡¯, so i tried other directions.¡±


    the original owner has indeed tried other directions in the past few years. however, he was too anxious and couldn¡¯t calm down, so all his attempts failed.


    but no one knows about those things, right?


    the original owner didn¡¯t have much contact with his grandfather for the past six years because of his poor condition!


    ¡°this painting¡­¡± yu qinshan looked at the figure painting in front of him in shock, feeling that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.


    this painting is full of love, making people unconsciously think of the person they love most, or fall in love with the person in the painting.


    so his grandson likes xie chengze¡­he doesn¡¯t have to worry about this.


    what his grandson likes is probably not the autistic xie chengze, but the perfect person with such a face that his grandson imagined.


    that xie chengze wouldn¡¯t smile like this when he was painting.


    but no matter what, this painting of his grandson is really shocking.


    it even shocked him more than ¡®stars¡¯.


    ¡®stars¡¯ is actually a top work in the oil painting world. yu qinshan has painted several works similar to ¡®stars¡¯ in his life, but he doesn¡¯t feel that he can paint a better work than ¡®stars¡¯.


    his recent works are not even as good as ¡®stars¡¯ ¨C no one can stay at the top all the time.


    and his expectation for his grandson is that after his grandson gets out of his predicament, he can paint a few more works similar to ¡®stars¡¯ in the future, and accept the reality that some of the works he painted will not be as good as stars.


    as a result¡­his grandson actually spent one night in his studio and painted a work that shocked him even more than ¡®stars¡¯.


    he felt that this painting was better than ¡®stars¡¯.


    wait, it seems that his grandson did not paint this painting in one night. there are some other ink paintings next to it. his grandson spent at most half a night painting this figure painting.


    yu qinshan had a complicated mood: ¡°yanzhou, you have surpassed grandpa¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou touched his nose embarrassedly.


    in fact, he is not a very artistic person, but he has too much time.


    he is a person who has lived for thousands of years. compared with a person who has only lived for less than a hundred years, it seems like he is bullying them.


    ¡°it¡¯s so beautiful¡­¡± said an old man next to yu qinshan. like yu qinshan, this old man is a painter in the painting world and is also yu qinshan¡¯s good friend. ¡°old yu, for the past thirty years, i have been jealous that you have a good grandson. now i am even more jealous and my heart aches, why are you so lucky!¡±


    another good friend of yu qinshan is an old lady wearing a cheongsam. this old lady is also a painter and is good at sketching. she blinked and said: ¡°i have regained the feeling of first love and want to fall in love again¡­this painting is full of love! i really haven¡¯t had such a heart pounding feeling for many years¡­but xiao lu, the person in the painting you drew is xie chengran, right? you accused him last night, and now¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou had just given him a zero, and then he secretly painted him. this¡­what on earth did he want to do?


    he doesn¡¯t plan to suppress him then take advantage of him by force, right?


    but that¡¯s not right. if lu yanzhou really had such thoughts, the paintings he painted would not be filled with such pure love.


    this love even moved an old lady like her!


    ¡°this is not xie chengran, but his brother xie chengze,¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°and he is also the real painter of the paintings that xie chengran took out.¡±


    lu yanzhou had been painting upstairs for a long time, it was already dawn now.


    two of yu qinshan¡¯s friends came to see yu qinshan early in the morning, and then came to the studio to look for lu yanzhou. they happened to see lu yanzhou painting and were stunned.


    because of this, yu qinshan didn¡¯t even have time to tell them clearly about xie chengran and xie chengze.


    when they heard lu yanzhou¡¯s words, both of them were shocked.

 CH 187

    lu yanzhou painted all night, and the original owner was in poor health, so he was very tired.


    however, he was in good spirits. therefore, he told his grandfather¡¯s two friends what he had told his grandfather last night.


    these two friends of his grandfather are still trustworthy.


    after hearing what lu yanzhou said, the two people were very angry: ¡°then xie chengran is really too much!¡±


    ¡°the most excessive thing is xie chengran¡¯s parents. xie chengran is not very old, so their parents must be the one fueling these things.¡±


    ¡°this xie chengze is so pitiful¡­¡±


    ¡­


    while they were talking, they looked at xie chengran¡¯s paintings on the internet, then couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°xie chengze, this kid, is really talented.¡±


    ¡°but he probably hasn¡¯t gotten any professional guidance before.¡±


    ¡°some paintings have flaws and should be painted intermittently.¡±


    ¡­


    these three old people all believed lu yanzhou ¡ª lu yanzhou would not do such impulsive things without complete assurance.


    because of their belief, they also wanted to rescue xie chengze, but¡­


    yu qinshan suddenly said: ¡°yanzhou, many people on the internet are scolding you.¡±


    there are indeed many people on the internet who are scolding lu yanzhou.


    what lu yanzhou did last night, after fermenting all night, has now completely exploded.


    back to last night.


    the national college student painting competition did not continue after the live broadcast was suspended.


    many people think that lu yanzhou giving xie chengran a zero score is an excessive thing, but he is a judge, and the score he gave has been entered into the system. without special reasons, this score cannot be invalidated.


    after lu yanzhou left yesterday, xie chengran looked at his score that was less than ninety points, crying so hard that his boyfriend xiao rong felt extremely distressed.


    there was no use staying at the competition site, so xiao rong sent xie chengran and xie chengran¡¯s parents back to xie¡¯s home, then assured xie chengran: ¡°of course, don¡¯t worry, the scores will be invalid.¡±


    ¡°really?¡± xie chengran looked at xiao rong with red and swollen eyes.


    ¡°really.¡± xiao rong kissed xie chengran¡¯s eyes.


    lu yanzhou felt that xiao rong should have a great background, and indeed that was the case.


    xiao rong¡¯s grandfather is the head of the galaxy alliance.


    xiao rong is still young and does not hold any position. although he is not his grandfather¡¯s only grandson, with such an identity, he could still naturally make others look up to him, such as the organizing committee of the painting competition and whatnot. they are more than willing to give him face and give xie chengran the green light.


    ¡°but¡­but lu yanzhou is so powerful, his grandpa is master yu qinshan¡­¡±


    ¡°so what if his grandpa is yu qinshan?¡± xiao rong sneered and looked at xie chengran tenderly, ¡°it¡¯s okay. you should have a good sleep. this matter will be over tomorrow.¡±


    xiao rong fell in love with xie chengran more than two years ago.


    he has had everything since he was a child, which makes him unable to find his own goal in life and even feels that life is meaningless.


    he plays various dangerous extreme sports and walks on the edge of life and death without caring about his own life.


    he was numb and in pain at the time and needed help from a psychiatrist.


    the psychiatrist said that there are many young people like him, saying that they are like this because they cannot find the meaning of life, so they suggested that he find a hobby.


    xiao rong didn¡¯t take the psychiatrist¡¯s words seriously until he was browsing the internet one day and saw a video of xie chengran painting.


    xie chengran in the video is much younger than he is now, only fifteen years old. at that time, xie chengran was not famous yet. he was holding cheap paint and smearing it on the canvas with concentration. his eyes were full of devotion, as if he already had the world from just being able to paint.


    that look struck xiao rong¡¯s heart.


    when he saw xie chengran carefully scraping the paint from the empty paint bottle¡­his heart was hit hard again.


    he suddenly found the meaning of life, he wanted to give xie chengran the best.


    he did indeed do it. xie chengran has become so famous in recent years has something to do with him.


    he also became xie chengran¡¯s boyfriend!


    now, xie chengran, who was held in his palm, was bullied by lu yanzhou like this!


    xiao rong has decided to give lu yanzhou some trouble. no, he will make it impossible for lu yanzhou to stand up!


    because of jealousy, he framed xie chengran¡­lu yanzhou should be punished!


    ¡°i can¡¯t sleep.¡± xie chengran said.


    xiao rong said: ¡°then you go to paint? that should make you calm down.¡±


    when xiao rong mentioned painting, anticipation arose in his heart ¨C he wanted to see xie chengran paint.


    it¡¯s a pity that xie chengran needs an absolutely quiet environment when painting, so no one can get close to him at all. thus, he and xie chengran have known each other for so long, but he has never seen xie chengran paint in person.


    xie chengran doesn¡¯t like people around him talking about painting with him, he especially doesn¡¯t like it when his suitor mentions it ¨C he doesn¡¯t want others to fall in love with him because of his paintings.


    when xiao rong chased him, he never mentioned xie chengran¡¯s paintings, so now he feels better.


    xie chengran said: ¡°how could i have the heart to paint now¡­¡±


    indeed, xie chengran has suffered such injustice, how can he still think about painting!


    xiao rong hated lu yanzhou even more at the moment.


    not wanting xie chengran to know his ruthless and violent side, xiao rong went outside and made a phone call, bought some navy to hack lu yanzhou, and then returned to xie¡¯s house to discuss with xie chengran and xie chengran¡¯s parents how to deal with this situation.


    ¡°lu yanzhou¡¯s accusation has no evidence, so it¡¯s very simple to clarify¡­¡± xiao rong asked father and mother xie to sort out xie chengran¡¯s previous works and send a clarification video.


    while they were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door.


    xiao rong frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.


    the sound came from the housekeeper¡¯s room on the ground floor of the xie family¡¯s villa. the xie family did not hire a housekeeper, so the person living in that room should be xie chengze.


    ¡°aze must be unhappy. i¡¯ll go see him.¡± mother xie said.


    xiao rong turned his head when he heard this and continued to discuss with father xie what to do next, but a feeling of disgust inevitably arose in his heart.


    xiao rong hates xie chengze. the xie family came from a poor family. xie chengran was born in such a family, but he worked hard to make progress and had great talent. he felt that xie chengran was good at everything.


    xie chengran¡¯s only shortcoming may be that he has an autistic younger brother.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t even have basic communication skills, and he also went crazy at every turn. he really couldn¡¯t hold in his disgust when looking at him.


    such a person had the same face as xie chengran. xiao rong often thought, why is this person not dead?


    his ranran should be unique.


    at this time, mother xie had already opened the door to the housekeeper¡¯s room, and then xie chengze rushed out of it, shouting ¡®wuwu¡¯ and trying to run upstairs.


    mother xie glanced at xiao rong, then used a small electric shock device to shock xie chengze where xiao rong couldn¡¯t see it.


    xie chengze suddenly fell to the ground and opened his mouth to cry.


    when mother xie raised her hand, xie chengze didn¡¯t dare to cry anymore. he bit his lips but tears couldn¡¯t stop falling.


    seeing that he was quiet, mother xie said to xiao rong: ¡°xiao rong, i will take aze upstairs, you can talk slowly.¡±


    after she finished speaking, she called the robot and asked the robot to carry xie chengze upstairs.


    xie chengze is actually very quiet. as long as he is given food and drink and allowed to paint, he can stay alone.


    therefore, when xie chengze was a child, they gave him the painting tools and brushes that xie chengran didn¡¯t want and let him play with them as long as he didn¡¯t get in the way.


    in the end, just playing around¡­xie chengze¡¯s paintings turned out to be better than xie chengran¡¯s!


    after that, they never stopped xie chengze from painting.


    however, in the past two years, xie chengran¡¯s reputation has grown more and more. they were afraid that others would find out that the person painting was xie chengze. when they were not at home, they did not dare to let xie chengze stay in the studio ¡ª what should they do if someone accidentally sees xie chengze painting alone at home?


    thus, as long as they are not at home, they will lock xie chengze up.


    xie chengze was always very uncooperative, sometimes yelling, throwing tantrums and rolling around. if no one was around, they could order the robot to forcibly lock the person up, but if someone was around, they could only use some special means, such as shocking.


    mother xie took xie chengze to the third floor, locked him in an empty room, and hurried downstairs.


    xie chengze sat in the room, crying silently but not daring to make a sound.


    he was very hungry and wanted to paint, so he knocked on the door at home, but now he is still locked up.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know why this was happening. he couldn¡¯t figure out why. he just felt like he was surrounded by fog, everything was hazy.


    he really wanted to paint.


    father xie and mother xie have already issued a clarification announcement on starnet, saying that their family is very ordinary. the money xie chengran learned to paint when he was a child was all earned by their frugality. even at that time, xie chengran did not have enough paint to use.


    they wrote this announcement in a very emotional way, coupled with the accompanying video of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old ¡®xie chengran¡¯ painting, and various links where one can see xie chengran¡¯s previous painting videos and works, xie chengran¡¯s fans suddenly exploded.


    ¡°lu yanzhou went too far!¡±


    ¡°he bullied ranran just because he was a judge!¡±


    ¡°ranran didn¡¯t have it easy! he even gave ranran a zero!¡±


    ¡­


    these people even swarmed to lu yanzhou starnet account to scold.


    besides that, at this time, a lot of ¡®black material¡¯ about lu yanzhou was exposed.


    ¡°after lu yanzhou painted ¡®stars¡¯, he has been unable to paint any works for a long time!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou has become useless and can no longer paint anything. that¡¯s why he didn¡¯t like xie chengran.¡±


    ¡°who in the circle doesn¡¯t know that lu yanzhou is very difficult to get along with? he also likes to suppress newcomers!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou has done so many disgusting things just because his grandfather is yu qinshan!¡±


    ¡­


    in fact, some people have always said this, but at that time they were just jealous of lu yanzhou so they occasionally said a few jealous words, but now it was different. suddenly everyone started saying it.


    not only that, but there were other accusations against lu yanzhou: ¡°lu yanzhou looked very thin. did he take any drugs?¡±


    ¡°at that time, someone asked him if he was drunk. was he drinking at the bar?


    ¡°he has made it clear that he is just avenging his personal grudge, the scores should be invalidated!¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengran looked at the news on the internet, bit his lip, and suddenly said to xiao rong: ¡°xiao rong, there is actually one more thing, i don¡¯t know if i should tell you¡­¡±


    ¡°what is it?¡± xiao rong asked. xiao rong is thinking about how to give lu yanzhou a fatal blow. he plans to sue lu yanzhou for infringing on xie chengran¡¯s reputation and make lu yanzhou go to jail.


    as long as lu yanzhou is in jail, he has plenty of ways to deal with lu yanzhou.


    xie chengran said: ¡°lu yanzhou¡¯s students sent me some things related to lu yanzhou.¡±


    xie chengran sent xiao rong the videos and photos related to lu yanzhou that meng yulin sent him.


    meng yulin is also one of xie chengran¡¯s suitors. although xie chengran already has a boyfriend, he still contacts meng yulin.


    he wanted to become lu yanzhou¡¯s student at that time.


    however, lu yanzhou came to see him a few days ago. after seeing him painting, his eyes looked strange and he asked him a lot of questions.


    he knew that lu yanzhou doubted him, so he expressed his worries in front of meng yulin. as a result¡­meng yulin actually got him dirty information about lu yanzhou!


    in the video, lu yanzhou was painting at first, but while he was painting, he suddenly started vomiting, then started smashing things close by, then finally fainted.


    in addition to this video, there are also some photos¡­the photos were taken of paintings painted by lu yanzhou, as well as the situation in lu yanzhou¡¯s studio. lu yanzhou¡¯s paintings are really as chaotic as his studio.


    xie chengran continued: ¡°senior meng also told me that lu yanzhou can¡¯t paint at all, and he can¡¯t teach others to paint either. he is just trying to gain fame¡­¡±


    xiao rong¡¯s eyes lit up ¡ª these things are enough to make lu yanzhou unable to get up anymore!


    no wonder lu yanzhou would do such a thing, it turns out that he has been crazy for a long time! he can¡¯t paint anymore!


    while xiao rong and the others were thinking about how to deal with lu yanzhou, more and more people came to yu qinshan¡¯s house, including the police.


    lu yanzhou contacted the police yesterday, and today, the police arranged for someone to come over.

 CH 188

    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but sigh for the original owner.


    if the original owner¡¯s mental state wasn¡¯t that bad, he wouldn¡¯t actually die.


    the original owner¡¯s family loved him very much, and they could provide far more help to the original owner than lu yanzhou thought.


    in this era when artists are highly respected. old artists¡¯ prestige are far beyond ordinary people¡¯s imagination.


    for example, yu qinshan and yu qinshan¡¯s friends, these master painters, have the opportunity to interact and get along with all kinds of big shots.


    without yu qinshan deliberately asking, someone already told yu qinshan who was the person behind xie chengran ¡ª xiao rong had already started to protect xie chengran before they fell in love. everyone knew for a long time that the young master of the xiao family was in love with xie chengran.


    what they don¡¯t understand now is why did lu yanzhou get in trouble with xie chengran?


    besides, xie chengran¡¯s painting should be painted by him, right?


    some of them even wondered if lu yanzhou was really jealous of a junior. they felt that lu yanzhou was going too far by giving him zero points. some people called yu qinshan and asked yu qinshan to take care of lu yanzhou.


    however, those who had a good relationship with yu qinshan, as well as relatives and friends of the lu family, when they came to yu qinshan and saw lu yanzhou splashing ink on the painting, they knew that lu yanzhou was definitely not jealous of xie chengran.


    not to mention that lu yanzhou could paint ¡®stars¡¯ before, his painting skills in oil painting far surpassed xie chengran¡¯s.


    let¡¯s talk about the present¡­ lu yanzhou changed the direction of painting and ended up painting master-level works¡­does such a person have any need to be jealous of xie chengran?


    these masters are all on lu yanzhou¡¯s side.


    now, everything is ready, all they need is the east wind.


    lu yanzhou wanted to take xie chengze out of xie¡¯s house as soon as possible. however, he needed a reason to enter xie¡¯s house. he called the police yesterday, saying that he was being followed and secretly photographed, he was worried that his safety would be threatened.


    at that time, he made an appointment with the police to meet today.


    today, after reading the news on the internet, he has another reason to call the police ¡ª someone is leading cyberbullying against him!


    in this world with well-developed laws, cyberbullying is also a crime!


    the police already sent someone to the door to understand the situation at this moment.


    lu yanzhou had just finished painting a painting he named ¡®a thousand miles of rivers and mountains¡¯ when he told the police about the situation he encountered.


    ¡°the specific situation is this. i saw the work submitted by xie chengran in the preliminary round of the national college student painting competition. i admired it very much and wanted to accept him as my student.¡± lu yanzhou told what happened to the original owner, ¡°for this reason, i went to see xie chengran, but i found that his basic painting skills were very poor. based on my experience, he would never be able to draw the works he used for the competition. i asked him some questions at that time, but he couldn¡¯t answer me but he was in a panic.¡±


    ¡°then what?¡± the policeman asked.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°after that, i discovered that someone was following me. i am a sensitive person. i was very scared at the time and even had some stress reactions.¡±


    ¡°do you have any evidence?¡± the police asked.


    ¡°i have no evidence, but you can go to my studio and search it. i¡¯m certain that outsiders have been to my studio¡­¡± lu yanzhou remembered that today the video of the original owner ¡®going crazy¡¯ in the studio was released. even with him here, this shouldn¡¯t change.


    in fact, he made things into such a big deal just to avenge the original owner.


    the original owner only asked xie chengran a few questions at that time, but did not give xie chengran a low score like him.


    after xie chengran saw the original owner¡¯s condition in the studio that meng yulin filmed. he should have known that the original owner was in a very bad mental state. since it¡¯s like this, why did he still stimulate the original owner?


    xiao rong, who is beside xie chengran, also added fuel to the flames and even persuaded some artists to come forward to accuse the original owner.


    although the original owner wanted to die before, he just thought about it. every time he thought about his family, the original owner didn¡¯t want to die anymore and he kept trying to adjust.


    however, when something like this happened, the original owner felt that he had embarrassed his family¡­how could he not commit suicide?


    he wants to avenge the original owner!


    ¡°there is evidence!¡± lu yanzhou¡¯s mother suddenly said.


    yu qinshan and the others went to admire lu yanzhou¡¯s paintings, but mother lu had been watching the starnet.


    she played the video on starnet. it was the video of lu yanzhou in the studio that meng yulin installed a camera to secretly record.


    after clicking on the video, the woman¡¯s eyes were red: ¡°my child, those people are bullying you!¡±


    the police also looked at lu yanzhou worriedly. many artists are more sensitive. lu yanzhou was vomiting and fainting. did he discover something to cause such a big reaction?


    lu yanzhou immediately said: ¡°yes! this is evidence! that studio is my private space, i have never allowed others to enter! also, at that time, i felt someone was looking at me, i thought it was just an illusion. it turned out to be true. they actually installed a camera in my studio!¡±


    that¡¯s it. someone is following and threatening his privacy and safety. this can be filed!


    at this time, the various comments against lu yanzhou on the internet were becoming more and more exaggerated¡­


    after the situation in the original studio was exposed, more and more people attacked lu yanzhou, some even began to insult lu yanzhou.


    under lu yanzhou¡¯s starnet account, there was even more chaos, with all kinds of demons and monsters!


    lu yanzhou immediately showed it to the police: ¡°everyone, they followed me, took photos of my private life and used this to guide others to cyberbully me!¡±


    ¡°they kept saying that ¡®stars¡¯ was not painted by me, but was ghost-painted by my grandfather. it¡¯s a violation of my reputation!¡±


    as soon as lu yanzhou finished saying this, new news came out on starnet.


    the organizing committee of the national college student painting competition has responded quickly, saying that lu yanzhou¡¯s previous scores did not meet the regulations and would be discarded. all contestants¡¯ scores would be recalculated after deducting lu yanzhou¡¯s scores.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou did not expect that the organizing committee of the painting competition would make such an anxious announcement.


    he talked a lot at the competition venue. normally, the organizing committee would have asked xie chengran to draw something in public to prove his innocence, so that his score could be invalidated.


    only one night had passed with some dark information about him on the internet, and this is what the organizing committee decided?


    lu yanzhou looked at the police in front of him: ¡°i would also like to accuse them of wantonly manipulating the results of the competition and undermining the fairness of the competition.¡±


    while lu yanzhou was talking to the police, many painters called by yu qinshan had already finished admiring lu yanzhou¡¯s paintings.


    ¡°this painting is so majestic, really majestic!¡±


    ¡°when i saw this painting, i felt suddenly enlightened. everything i had struggled with has disappeared!¡±


    ¡°what a painting! what a good mood!¡±


    ¡°this grandson of lao yu is really amazing! i was wondering why there has been no news about him in recent years. it turns out that he was doing something big!¡±


    ¡­


    after they talked, they found that people on the starnet were scolding lu yanzhou.


    those people went too far, so everyone said: ¡°why do these people keep talking nonsense!¡±


    ¡°does xiao lu have to be jealous of that xie chengran?¡±


    ¡°not to mention that xie chengran used someone else¡¯s paintings to compete, even if he is the real painter, and he is still far inferior to xiao lu. does xiao lu need to suppress him like this?¡±


    ¡°looking at xiao lu¡¯s paintings, you know that xiao lu is not that kind of person!¡±


    ¡­


    as these people said, they began to go into starnet to help speak up for lu yanzhou online.


    however, at this time, starnet had already overwhelmingly believed that lu yanzhou had a problem. seeing these people speaking for lu yanzhou, they began to attack them: ¡°you are still speaking for lu yanzhou at this time? i really misjudged you!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is really very talented. his background has allowed so many masters to support him!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is not stupid. he will not give zero points to people without proof or evidence¡­he obviously has a mental problem. it is not surprising at all for him to do such a thing!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is not stupid at all, so he is definitely taking drugs!¡±


    ¡­


    at the same time, some painters who had a grudge against lu yanzhou, or painters who xiao rong had hired, began to accuse lu yanzhou on the internet.


    some people are arrogant and say that he now has no work of his own and still suppresses others, which is too much.


    some people directly sided with xie chengran, expressing their support for xie chengran and blaming lu yanzhou.


    this situation is much more serious than the original owner¡¯s time.


    after all, what lu yanzhou did was much more excessive than what the original owner did.


    lu yanzhou looked at the police: ¡°this has caused me a lot of harm. i hope the police can protect me and stop them from continuing to slander me and hurt me!¡±


    lu yanzhou has evidence, and the evidence is also posted online. thus, the process of filing the lawsuit is very fast.


    he filed so many lawsuits but the police still needed to go to xie chengran¡¯s home and take him away to interrogate.


    this is what lu yanzhou was waiting for.


    xiao rong has a background, but he cannot interfere with the police¡¯s handling of a case. the most important thing is that if he can follow the police into xie chengran¡¯s home, find xie chengze, and get xie chengze out of the xie family control¡­


    he can reveal the truth when the time comes and give xie chengze justice!


    lu yanzhou asked: ¡°as the victim, can i go to xie¡¯s house with you?¡±


    as the party called the police, lu yanzhou can go together, so the police agreed.


    lu yanzhou followed and got into the police car.


    after getting in the car, he asked again: ¡°can i live broadcast later?¡±


    the policemen looked at each other, and finally said: ¡°you can¡¯t live broadcast in our police station, but you can live broadcast before going to the police station. of course, you can¡¯t invade other people¡¯s privacy.¡±


    in some situations, private live broadcasts are not allowed, but outside, lu yanzhou is not a criminal, so his live broadcast does not break the law.


    ¡°thank you.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± several police officers thought lu yanzhou had a good temper.


    the police car drove away from yu qinshan¡¯s residence and headed for xie¡¯s house. behind the police car, yu qinshan led people and drove up to follow ¡ª they wanted to follow to rescue the person!

 CH 189

    lu yanzhou and the others had just left the yu family, relevant photos appeared on starnet, saying that he had been arrested by the police.


    ¡°lu yanzhou has been arrested!¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m so happy!¡±


    ¡°he should be arrested for abusing his power and bullying newcomers like this!¡±


    ¡­


    it¡¯s really overwhelming!


    at this time, meng yulin, lu yanzhou¡¯s student, was still speaking online, saying that lu yanzhou had not painted for a long time and was very impatient when teaching them how to paint. not only did he not teach well, he also had a bad temper.


    even lu yanzhou¡¯s students stood up and said that lu yanzhou was bad. therefore, could lu yanzhou still be a good person?


    lu yanzhou¡¯s reputation got even worse.


    lu yanzhou chuckled lightly when he saw this.


    meng yulin probably took the money.


    as for the other students of the original owner, they did not frame the original owner like meng yulin did, nor did they speak for the original owner¡­this is human nature.


    the original owner taught them quite seriously, but because of his personality, he was not very close to them. it was normal for them to choose not to wade into this muddy water at this time.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s guess was correct. meng yulin accuse lu yanzhou online because xiao rong gave him the money.


    after all, yu qinshan was behind lu yanzhou. although meng yulin secretly took some videos and photos for xie chengran, he had no intention of saying anything under his real name.


    even if lu yanzhou is dead, he doesn¡¯t want to offend yu qinshan.


    however, xiao rong gave too much, so meng yulin finally stood up.


    he felt that he could use this incident to hype himself up, and if yu qinshan targeted him afterwards, he could pretend to be pitiful on the internet.


    meng yulin thought very well, but at this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that lu yanzhou had started a live broadcast.


    at this time, lu yanzhou still has time to live stream?


    does he want to explain?


    countless people poured into the live stream room.


    lu yanzhou was too lazy to pay attention to the people in the live broadcast room. he was looking ahead intently, with no trace of panic on his face and no intention of explaining.


    the person who rushed in to scold lu yanzhou was stunned for a moment.


    he¡¯s already been arrested by the police, why is he still so calm?


    lu yanzhou asked the police at this time: ¡°are we there yet?¡±


    ¡°already arrived.¡± the police parked the car in front of a villa.


    lu yanzhou got out of the car with the police and walked forward.


    in the villa, father xie, mother xie, and xie chengran all noticed that lu yanzhou was live streaming.


    they didn¡¯t sleep all night.


    others don¡¯t know, but they know very well that what lu yanzhou accused xie chengran is true.


    xie chengran really couldn¡¯t draw such paintings.


    therefore, they won¡¯t feel at ease unless this matter is resolved.


    ¡°did you call the police?¡± xiao rong looked at father xie and mother xie. he did not call the police. in the past, when someone offended him, he had always used other methods to deal with and punish the other person.


    father xie and mother xie quickly said, ¡°we didn¡¯t call the police.¡±


    ¡°maybe someone else called the police.¡± xie chengran looked at xiao rong.


    xiao rong also felt that this should be the case. lu yanzhou went too far and actually targeted xie chengran in public. some people couldn¡¯t stand it, so it was normal to call the police.


    ¡°they seem to have come to our house!¡± xie chengran added.


    then, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on xie¡¯s door.


    xiao rong took a step forward and opened the door.


    lu yanzhou stood at the door and did not rush in. instead, he looked at father and mother xie: ¡°i started a live stream, can i keep it on?¡±


    it is illegal to go to other people¡¯s homes to start a live broadcast without their consent.


    father xie and mother xie vaguely felt that something was wrong, but xiao rong said: ¡°let it on if you want!¡±


    lu yanzhou ignored xiao rong and still looked at father xie and mother xie.


    father xie and mother xie glanced at xiao rong, then said to lu yanzhou: ¡°go ahead!¡±


    when xiao rong was dating xie chengran before, he did not tell xie chengran his identity clearly.


    but last night, in order to make xie chengran feel at ease, he had informed the xie family of his identity.


    father xie and mother xie devoted themselves to cultivating xie chengran, hoping that xie chengran could lead them to live a master¡¯s life. after knowing xiao rong¡¯s identity, they were naturally overjoyed, so now they dare not offend xiao rong at will.


    as for lu yanzhou wanting to start the live stream, now that lu yanzhou can no longer stand up, just start it.


    thinking like this, father and mother xie looked at lu yanzhou with more contempt in their eyes.


    only then did lu yanzhou smile.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s live stream room was actually very chaotic. everyone was scolding him and everything.


    but now seeing lu yanzhou¡¯s smile, many people were stunned.


    this man who is chasing fame has such a beautiful smile!


    why didn¡¯t they realize that this man was so good-looking before?


    as soon as they had this thought, they heard lu yanzhou say: ¡°xie chengran, you hired others to sneak into my residence to secretly film me, led others to violently attack me online, violated my reputation, interfered with the fairness of the competition¡­i have already filed a lawsuit.¡±


    ¡°what did i hear?¡±


    ¡°didn¡¯t lu yanzhou get caught by the police and come to xie chengran¡¯s place?¡±


    ¡°he actually sued xie chengran? no way?¡±


    ¡°is there something wrong with his brain?¡±


    ¡°taking drugs must have damaged his brain, right?¡±


    ¡­


    people watching the live broadcast felt very speechless. xiao rong was also shocked: ¡°lu yanzhou, are you sick?¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m fine,¡± lu yanzhou looked at the policemen, ¡°guys, are the household robots in this house no longer usable?¡±


    these days, household robots are quite great, and their strength is also not weak. if the police handle the case, they will apply to freeze the household robots owned by the head of the household.


    ¡°yes.¡± the policeman nodded.


    lu yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief and then said: ¡°i also want to accuse xie chengran of imprisoning others and appropriating other people¡¯s works!¡±


    afraid that xie chengze would be harmed if he took action rashly, lu yanzhou made a big circle and made himself the victim first just so he can come here openly.


    if it weren¡¯t for the fact that xie family had troubled him and he was blackmailed by the entire internet, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to get in even if he brought the police.


    the xie family hasn¡¯t let xie chengze go out for so many years. they have guarded xie chengze very closely.


    ¡°mr. lu, you have no evidence and cannot file the case.¡± the leading police officer said, ¡°but if the matter is true, our police will definitely file a case.¡±


    lu yanzhou told them about xie chengze before, but this matter¡­lu yanzhou has nothing to do with the xie family.


    ¡°lu yanzhou, what are you talking about!¡± xiao rong frowned and looked at lu yanzhou, then at the police, ¡°it¡¯s clearly lu yanzhou¡¯s fault this time? what happened to you? were you bribed by him?¡±


    even those watching the live stream were confused: ¡°is lu yanzhou really crazy?¡±


    ¡°what is he talking about?¡±


    ¡°xie chengran imprisoned someone? how is that possible!¡±


    ¡°is lu yanzhou so powerful? even the police listen to him?¡±


    ¡­


    none of them realized something was wrong. father xie, mother xie, and xie chengran were a little panicked at this moment. they glanced upstairs subconsciously and said, ¡°lu yanzhou, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±


    after lu yanzhou came to this world, he really wanted to see xie chengze. he was even more anxious after seeing those videos of xie chengze going crazy.


    he could no longer hold back at this moment: ¡°i¡¯m going to find the person!¡±


    after lu yanzhou finished speaking, he rushed upstairs: ¡°aze! aze, where are you?¡±


    ¡°what on earth is lu yanzhou doing?¡±


    ¡°who is he calling? aze?¡±


    ¡°did xie chengran really imprison someone?¡±


    ¡°aze? i remember that xie chengran had a younger brother¡­¡±


    ¡°the autistic brother?¡±


    ¡°xie chengran also has a younger brother?¡±


    ¡­


    as soon as lu yanzhou called ¡®aze¡¯, father and mother xie became even more panicked: ¡°what do you want to do? this is our family!¡±


    xiao rong was also angry and wanted to stop lu yanzhou: ¡°surname lu, what do you want to do?!¡±


    however, lu yanzhou moved quickly and passed him upstairs. following closely, there were police officers who stopped xiao rong, father and mother xie.


    several policemen came, one stopped the xie family, and another followed lu yanzhou upstairs and said to lu yanzhou, ¡°according to the detector, the person should be on the third floor¡­¡±


    ¡°is it xie chengze that lu yanzhou is looking for?¡±


    ¡°didn¡¯t you say that lu yanzhou is crazy? he doesn¡¯t look like he is crazy.¡±


    ¡°even if he is crazy, the police will not go crazy with him!¡±


    ¡°what is going on?¡±


    ¡­


    people watching the live broadcast originally came to scold lu yanzhou, but now¡­many of them feel that something is wrong.


    of course, there are still some people who think lu yanzhou is just pretending to be mysterious.


    at this time, lu yanzhou had already arrived at a closed door on the third floor ¡ª according to the detector, someone was inside, but he could not open the door.


    however, the police had their own thoughts. the policeman who came up with him said, ¡°i¡¯ll open the door.¡±


    they had the authority to open xie¡¯s door.


    the police opened the door quickly. lu yanzhou opened the door and saw xie chengze.


    xie chengze, who had an expressionless face and a bruise on his face, huddled up and stared blankly at him.


    people watching the live broadcast were still talking: ¡°lu yanzhou really came to see xie chengze.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s xie chengze!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is sick, will he go crazy?¡±


    ¡°what does lu yanzhou want to do?¡±


    ¡°damn it! what did lu yanzhou say before? that means¡­xie chengran¡¯s paintings wouldn¡¯t really be painted by xie chengze, right?¡±


    ¡°who is this person? he looks exactly like xie chengran!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°aze.¡± lu yanzhou bent down and called out.


    xie chengze suddenly rushed towards him, and then threw himself into his arms: ¡°wu¡­¡±


    xie chengze made an unconscious ¡®wu¡¯ sound and hugged lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou quickly comforted him: ¡°it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay¡­¡±


    it had been a day and a night since he had transmigrated here, he finally saw xie chengze!


    lu yanzhou hugged xie chengze, full of joy, but xie chengze suddenly pushed him away and ran away.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­aze!¡±


    lu yanzhou quickly caught up and saw xie chengze opening a door next to him and walked in.


    this is a studio, a studio that everyone watching the live broadcast was familiar with.


    xie chengran¡¯s painting videos were all shot here!


    the studio was neatly tidied. after xie chengze came in, he skillfully opened a cabinet and took out the nutritional paste inside to eat.


    this kind of nutritional paste is a very cheap and convenient food. it is packed in bags and can provide various nutrients needed by the human body, but it does not taste very good.


    xie chengze opened one bag and finished it in three or two gulp, then opened another bag and continued eating.


    ordinary people would be full after eating one bag, but he ate two bags in a row.


    how long has it been since he¡¯s eaten?


    lu yanzhou felt extremely sour and looked at xie chengze quietly.


    he didn¡¯t know if his eyes were too focused, but xie chengze, who had always lowered his head, suddenly picked up a bag of nutrition paste and handed it to lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou felt sour and almost shed tears.


    seeing that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t take the nutrition paste, xie chengze took it back, put it back in the cabinet, then closed the cabinet door.


    after putting it away, he gently knocked on the cabinet a few times with his head.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know why xie chengze did this, but he had learned about autism and knew that they would have some stereotyped behaviors.


    lu yanzhou called out again: ¡°aze¡­¡±


    xie chengze did not look at lu yanzhou again. he walked aside, took out a piece of drawing paper, put it on the easel, and began to draw on it.


    xie chengze¡¯s aura changed when he started painting.


    he looked a little stupid before, but now his eyes are very bright.


    he didn¡¯t care about the people around him, he just painted, and he also painted very fast. he piled large pieces of paint on the canvas without thinking about it.


    however, it was not messy, he quickly drew the outline of a character.


    that¡¯s¡­lu yanzhou.


    he is painting lu yanzhou.


    people watching the live broadcast were shocked: ¡°this is¡­xie chengran?¡±


    ¡°what xie chengran, this is xie chengze.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is the painter!¡±


    ¡°what lu yanzhou said is true, those paintings are really not painted by xie chengran!¡±


    ¡­


    the person in front of them is exactly the same as the person in the painting videos that xie chengran posted before.


    anyone who likes xie chengran¡¯s paintings will never mistake this person.


    at this time, he was creating a work at an unprecedented speed. although the painting was not finished yet, after looking at it, everyone was already feeling happy unconsciously.


    they suddenly felt very happy.


    ¡°lu yanzhou, you¡¯d better apologize to ranran! then withdraw the lawsuit!¡± xiao rong rushed up and broke the silence of the room.


    the xie family was crying and making trouble downstairs, but they were controlled by the police, who did not even let them go upstairs.


    xiao rong negotiated with the police to no avail, then finally had to reveal his identity and forcefully go upstairs.


    then he saw xie chengran painting, no, it was xie chengze painting.


    when xiao rong appeared, everyone watching the live broadcast was very dissatisfied. the way xie chengze painted was really pleasing to the eye.


    they didn¡¯t want to see anyone ruin such a beautiful scene.


    fortunately, xie chengze didn¡¯t care about the people around him. he was still painting. lu yanzhou in his painting looked very handsome, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in light.


    as the painting gradually took shape, in addition to feeling happy, everyone also felt¡­love?


    the deep feeling of love is vivid on the paper.


    the people watching the live broadcast didn¡¯t want to say anything at this time. they were very moved and even¡­wanted to cry a little bit.


    there were injuries on xie chengze¡¯s face and on his exposed wrists.


    he was locked in an empty room, and the first thing he did when he came out was to find food.


    however, after eating, he concentrated on painting and painted such a painting!


    he really, really likes to paint.


    but before, they only knew xie chengran and didn¡¯t know him at all.


    ¡°this is impossible¡­¡± xiao rong murmured, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.


    how could xie chengze be the painter?

 CH 190

    xiao rong has always hated xie chengze, and he also treated xie chengze badly.


    he felt that xie chengran¡¯s younger brother was a stain on xie chengran, he even wished that xie chengze was dead.


    he had met xie chengze several times before he came to xie¡¯s house. sometimes he would see xie chengze ¡®whimpering¡¯ and making trouble. there was one time he saw xie chengze running towards xie chengran, then he slapped xie chengze.


    at that time, xie chengze covered his face and cried silently. he was a little happy when he saw it.


    but now, what did he see?


    xie chengze is painting.


    he first fell in love with xie chengran because he saw a video of xie chengran painting.


    even now, he likes xie chengran because of his paintings.


    when he usually gets along with xie chengran, the feeling that xie chengran gives him is no different from the people he has been in contact with since childhood, so he doesn¡¯t have much interest in xie chengze. however, as long as he watches the video of xie chengran¡¯s painting, his heart will be full of love again.


    however, it was not xie chengran who painted but xie chengze.


    at this moment, xiao rong felt as if he had been slapped in the face.


    how could it be xie chengze that he fell in love with?!


    lu yanzhou¡¯s live broadcast continues.


    he was too lazy to talk to those watching the live broadcast, so he only looked at xie chengze intently.


    his camera was always pointed at xie chengze, which made the paintings painted by xie chengze clearly displayed in front of everyone.


    yu qinshan and many of his friends followed lu yanzhou to xie¡¯s house, but because they could not enter other people¡¯s residences without the owner¡¯s invitation, they stood at the door and watched the live broadcast.


    when they first saw xie chengze, they thought he had no aura, but when xie chengze started painting¡­


    their hearts trembled.


    ¡°he painted so well¡­¡±


    ¡°this is a piece of rough jade.¡±


    ¡°this kid was born to paint!¡±


    ¡­


    just as they were marveling, one of them suddenly said: ¡°it seems that¡­he doesn¡¯t have a teacher yet?¡±


    everyone looked at each other, then yu qinshan suddenly walked towards the police: ¡°my grandson has been in there for a long time, i¡¯m going to check on him.¡± if possible, such a student must be snatched!


    he cheated!


    the others hurriedly followed. one of them said: ¡°i am from capital university. xie chengran stole someone else¡¯s work to get admitted. i am here to investigate.¡±


    ¡°i am from the painting association. i am here to investigate xie chengran¡¯s misappropriation of other people¡¯s works!¡±


    ¡°me too! i¡¯m also from the painting association!¡±


    ¡­


    this group of people entered the door with legitimate reasons, and went straight to the third floor without even looking at xie chengran, who was already dazed.


    when they arrived on the third floor, they happened to see xiao rong muttering to himself, saying something like ¡®this is impossible¡¯, ¡®it can¡¯t be xie chengze¡¯ and so on.


    ¡°how is this impossible?¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s right! we¡¯ve seen it a long time ago! xie chengran can¡¯t draw such a painting!¡±


    ¡°what does this have to do with you? it¡¯s because xiao lu is great. he can tell at a glance that xie chengran and xie chengze are not the same person!¡±


    ¡°stop talking, don¡¯t disturb other people¡¯s painting!¡±


    ¡°this child¡¯s concentration is good, he wasn¡¯t distracted at all and he doesn¡¯t seem to be afraid of being disturbed.¡±


    ¡­


    a group of old people gathered around xie chengze, staring at xie chengze¡¯s painting.


    as expected, xie chengze was not affected at all and concentrated on painting.


    on the contrary, those watching the live broadcast were a little unable to recover at the moment.


    the live broadcast camera can fly. lu yanzhou controlled it, adjusting the height and distance, so it captured everything.


    ¡°these people are all masters, right?¡±


    ¡°they are all! they are also the ones who spoke for lu yanzhou before.¡±


    ¡°i actually thought they were ganging up to bully xie chengran before, but now¡­¡±


    ¡°these masters are quite innocent.¡±


    ¡­


    after xie chengran appeared in the live broadcast and started painting, most of the black material related to lu yanzhou was clarified in a short period of time.


    ¡°although lu yanzhou has not been in good condition in the past few years, it was true when he said that xie chengran¡¯s paintings were not painted by xie chengran!¡±


    ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that xie chengran was really such a person!¡±


    ¡°xie chengran deserve zero points!¡±


    ¡­


    of course, there are some people who scolded lu yanzhou before, but now they are unwilling to admit their mistakes, so they still scold lu yanzhou: ¡°xie cheng is not a good person but lu yanzhou is the same!¡±


    ¡°he can¡¯t paint, there¡¯s no way around it!¡±


    ¡°his mental state is obviously very bad!¡±


    ¡°his students say he doesn¡¯t know how to draw!¡±


    ¡°xie chengran can find someone to paint for him, so of course he can too!¡±


    ¡­


    these people were still jumping out crazily when they heard a master say to lu yanzhou: ¡°xiao lu, you are a genius, but this little guy is no worse than you!¡±


    ¡°the painting he painted is lacking in technique, but emotionally, it is comparable to your painting ¡®stars¡¯.¡±


    ¡°the shortcomings in technique can be made up for. this child has never learned anything from others before. i can teach him!¡±


    ¡°i can¡¯t give any advice to xiao lu, but i could give him some guidance.¡±


    ¡­ ¡­


    these masters kept talking. when they looked at xie chengze, their eyes were green, like a wolf seeing a sheep.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­you don¡¯t need to, i¡¯ll teach him!¡±


    ¡°xiao lu, you are too young, let me do it!¡± everyone said one after another.


    lu yanzhou showed no sign of weakness: ¡°he may not listen to you, but he will listen to me!¡±


    ¡°why?¡± everyone was puzzled.


    lu yanzhou was very confident: ¡°didn¡¯t you see his painting?¡±


    everyone: ¡°¡­¡±


    fuck! xie chengze was concentrating on painting lu yanzhou, without blinking while painting at all!


    while they were talking, the police came up and told lu yanzhou that they had taken the xie family away.


    ¡°thank you.¡± lu yanzhou thanked him.


    ¡°you¡¯re welcome. the problem now is xie chengze¡­¡± the policeman looked at xie chengze hesitantly.


    xie chengze has been painting with great concentration.


    with him looking like this, no one wants to disturb him.


    normally xie chengze needed to follow him to the police station for some questioning, but after the police learned about his situation, they realized that he would not be able to provide any effective information.


    if they insisted on taking him to the police station, it might worsen his condition.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i remember, in a situation like his, can i apply for a special nanny robot to take care of him? in addition, i want to stay here with him.¡±


    lu yanzhou initially wanted to take xie chengze away, but after thinking about it, he decided give up.


    first of all, xie chengze¡¯s current situation may not necessarily allow him to adapt to a strange environment.


    secondly, he couldn¡¯t become xie chengze¡¯s guardian ¨C he liked xie chengze.


    ¡°it will take about three hours to apply for the nanny robot. during these three hours, i hope you can keep the live broadcast on so that we can ensure his safety,¡± the policeman said.


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou agreed.


    xie chengze has no ability to act independently. in this interstellar world, if such people have no one to take care of them, the country will equip them with special nanny robots. while the robots are responsible for taking care of them, they will also supervise the people around them to prevent them from harming them.


    in addition, the state will assign them a guardian who will check on them from time to time.


    lu yanzhou can actually apply to become a guardian, but the guardian cannot fall in love with the ward.


    in fact, even if he is not a guardian, he cannot fall in love with xie chengze now. when the nanny robot comes, he cannot do anything that will be judged as a threat.


    but when xie chengze recovers, they can be together, right?


    if he were to be his guardian, they would be in trouble!


    the police took away the xie family, and even xiao rong was taken away. after all, many things were related to xiao rong.


    however, yu qinshan and the others stayed and were still watching xie chengze paint.


    lu yanzhou felt relieved when he saw this. he finally looked at the live streaming camera and planned to explain.


    lu yanzhou pointed the live broadcast camera at himself: ¡°since last night, there have been remarks against me on the internet. today i am doing this live stream to explain it.¡±


    ¡°first of all, the cause of everything¡­¡± lu yanzhou told them what he had said to yu qinshan before.


    this is the best explanation, and there are traces to follow ¨C in the preliminary round, he gave xie chengran full marks.


    ¡°lu yanzhou likes xie chengze?¡±


    ¡°so that¡¯s the case, it makes sense!¡±


    ¡°isn¡¯t xie chengran going too far? he actually found someone to secretly film lu yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou is not in a good mental state. is he frightened from being followed?¡±


    ¡­


    however, some people still question lu yanzhou and ask him if ¡®stars¡¯ was painted by him. after all, even his students came out to report him with their real names before.


    ¡°if ¡®stars¡¯ was really painted by my grandfather, wouldn¡¯t others be able to tell?¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°but i really haven¡¯t done much oil painting in the past few years because i have switched to painting other things. i will post the details on starnet. ¡±


    lu yanzhou was focused on xie chengze and was too lazy to spend too much time clarifying this matter.


    he directly put all his previous landscape, flower and bird paintings on a special website for auction, and at the same time upload his painting videos on his private account.


    of course, there was also a portrait of xie chengze named ¡®beloved¡¯ by him. this was not for sale, just for people to see.


    lu yanzhou originally did not want to make this painting public.


    he didn¡¯t want too many people to see xie chengze.


    however, if xie chengze painted him, he would also want to do something in return.


    after lu yanzhou did all this, he stopped paying attention to things online.


    by this time, his reputation had completely turned around.


    many people he had known before finally spoke openly for him: ¡°those who said ¡®stars¡¯ was not painted by lu yanzhou are really amusing! lu yanzhou is like xie chengran, who always finds excuses that he must be alone to be able to paint and has mediocre performance in school! when lu yanzhou was in college, he ranked first in every class practice, and even the teacher was willing to bow to him!¡±


    ¡°i am a student at capital university. professor lu always gave us a public lecture and the things he drew casually at that time were all works that people looked up to. meng yulin clearly frames him!¡±


    ¡°i feel sorry for professor lu, how much pressure he was under!¡±


    ¡°yes, when he found out that the person he liked was imprisoned, he was also being stalked¡­¡±


    ¡°professor lu is so pitiful!¡±


    ¡°he was hacked so badly before, there is definitely something fishy¡­¡±


    ¡­

 CH 191

    almost as soon as lu yanzhou finished clarifying, xie chengze stopped painting.


    seeing him stop painting, yu qinshan came over and asked with a smile: ¡°your name is xie chengze, right? i am yu qinshan¡­¡±


    xie chengze blocked the painting as if he was frightened.


    seeing him like this, yu qinshan didn¡¯t dare to get closer and could only look at him cautiously.


    ¡°aze.¡± lu yanzhou stood in front of his grandfather and called with a smile.


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou blankly, turned back, and began to move the painting he had just painted that was still fixed on the easel.


    he moved the easel to the corner, placed it against the wall, and then lay down on the ground beside the painting.


    ¡°what¡¯s wrong with him?¡± people watching the live broadcast, as well as yu qinshan and others, all asked at the same time.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°he should want to sleep.¡±


    xie chengze did intend to sleep. he lay flat on the ground, put his hands on his stomach, then his breathing became steady.


    lu yanzhou looked at him, his eyes softened unconsciously.


    people watching the live broadcast couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°xie chengze looks so good!¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t those videos xie chengran posted of him in the past always show him being very crazy and causing trouble? it¡¯s really completely different from now!¡±


    ¡°xie chengran also said that he would go crazy when he saw strangers. now that a bunch of strangers are surrounding him, isn¡¯t he fine?¡±


    ¡°he might have been stimulated by xie chengran first.¡±


    ¡°if he was always obedient, maybe someone would have suspected that he was the one who painted the painting! xie chengran might be afraid that people will be suspicious of him, so he deliberately stimulated him, right?¡±


    ¡°he can only sleep on the ground?¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze fell asleep, but the live broadcast continued.


    there are many completed or half-painted paintings in this studio, so yu qinshan and the others studied them one by one.


    ¡°he paints based on his feelings, which is also good. some of his paintings are simply imaginative.¡±


    ¡°the paintings that xie chengran took out were not the best ones he painted.¡±


    ¡°there are some paintings here that i guess xie chengran didn¡¯t dare to take out.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°grandpa, grandpa zhang, grandma li¡­¡± lu yanzhou called the people who came with him: ¡°thank you for today. do you want to go back and rest?¡±


    these people came to him early in the morning, it was already afternoon now.


    ¡°no, no, we want to stay here for a while.¡± these people said one after another.


    there were a large number of works left by xie chengze piled in this room, they still wanted to see them.


    that¡¯s alright¡­lu yanzhou said, ¡°then i¡¯ll have someone bring some food over. what do you want to eat?¡±


    these old people said that anything would be fine.


    lu yanzhou found a restaurant and asked them to prepare some special dishes and deliver them to him.


    he ordered a total of twenty dishes and some snacks. everyone will always find something they could eat and like.


    after ordering, lu yanzhou contacted the real estate company and wanted to buy the villa next door.


    it is best for xie chengze to stay in a familiar place in his current situation, but he didn¡¯t want xie chengze to continue to stay in this villa, so it was best to change the place.


    although the xie family has got money by selling xie chengze¡¯s paintings, they are not particularly rich. although they live in a single-family villa, it is located in a community and is surrounded by identical villas.


    lu yanzhou plans to buy the villa beside this and renovate it so that xie chengze can live there.


    in this world, he is not short of money. the original owner had earned an unknown amount of money from selling his paintings. he also spent almost nothing except buying paint.


    although he has money, it will still take time to buy a house. before he could buy the villa, the restaurant delivered their meals.


    lu yanzhou asked his grandfather and the others to go downstairs to eat, but he was worried about xie chengze. therefore, after going downstairs to get some food, he hurried upstairs.


    facts have proved that his approach was very correct ¡ª as soon as lu yanzhou went upstairs, he saw that xie chengze was awake. maybe xie chengze wasn¡¯t actually asleep just now.


    at this moment, xie chengze was looking directly at the food in his hand.


    lu yanzhou smiled and brought the food to xie chengze: ¡°aze, do you want to eat? but you can¡¯t eat a lot¡­¡±


    xie chengze didn¡¯t eat. he glanced at lu yanzhou, stood up, then took out a new piece of painting paper.


    he started painting again.


    lu yanzhou turned on the autonomous mode of the live broadcast, took an easel and came to xie chengze, preparing to paint with xie chengze.


    then he discovered that¡­xie chengze was painting him again.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what to say, he just felt his heart racing.


    he took some paint and started painting xie chengze.


    what he painted was the scene in which xie chengze painted him.


    he is in xie chengze¡¯s paintings, and xie chengze is in his paintings.


    lu yanzhou has a foundation in painting, and now he also has the original owner¡¯s memory¡­although what he painted is oil painting, it¡¯s not bad at all.


    in the live stream room, the two of them were drawing quietly, so at this time, starnet was very busy.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s previous clarification ruined meng yulin¡¯s future. he was suspected of violating lu yanzhou¡¯s privacy and was arrested.


    in addition, the organizing committee of the national college student painting competition issued another announcement, not only acknowledging lu yanzhou¡¯s score, but also stating that xie chengran had used other people¡¯s works to participate in the competition, and all of them gave him zero.


    however, these are not the most critical.


    the dispute between lu yanzhou and xiao rong was watched by many people. when xiao rong was at a disadvantage, xiao rong¡¯s identity was immediately revealed by an enemy of the xiao family.


    even some of the things xiao rong did were not hidden.


    ¡°it turns out that xie chengran¡¯s boyfriend has such a good background!¡±


    ¡°he hired the navy and bribed lu yanzhou¡¯s students¡­haha!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou said before that xie chengran had a backing, it turns out it¡¯s true!¡±


    ¡­


    in addition to these, the ink paintings that lu yanzhou put up for public auction also caused a sensation.


    there are many people who paint ink paintings, but there has never been an ink painting that reaches the master level and can be compared with ¡®stars¡¯.


    when people appreciate ink paintings, it¡¯s difficult for them to have any emotional resonance.


    it¡¯s precisely because of this that ink painting gradually declined.


    as a result¡­lu yanzhou suddenly appeared out of nowhere!


    ¡°i¡¯ve been in a bad mood, but these landscape paintings¡­just by looking at them, i feel that my previous struggles are not worth mentioning.¡±


    ¡°after looking at them, my mood has become much more relaxed. i should relax.¡±


    ¡°thousands of miles away¡­i have been in a bad mood for the past two years and don¡¯t want to go out. now i want to go out and have a look.¡±


    ¡­


    even the president of the painting association spoke online: ¡°lu yanzhou has been learning oil painting since he was a child. he has profound accomplishments in oil painting, and ¡®stars¡¯ is a top-notch work. i originally thought he would delve deeper into this path, but i didn¡¯t expect that he would give me another surprise. his accomplishments in ink painting are superior to everyone else¡­¡±


    the president wrote more than a thousand words eloquently, and also praised lu yanzhou¡¯s ¡®beloved¡¯ painting.


    lu yanzhou became the most famous painter almost instantly, so his live stream room was naturally filled with people.


    ¡°¡¯beloved¡¯ is really beautiful. after looking at ¡®beloved¡¯ and watching the live stream, xie chengze is not bad at all.¡±


    ¡°i want to see lu yanzhou paint ink paintings, why did he paint oil paintings again?¡±


    ¡°his oil painting level is also very high! who said before that he can no longer paint oil paintings?¡±


    ¡°those who learn to paint are all on their knees now! this painting is so good!¡±


    ¡°am i the only one who came to see the handsome guy? two handsome guys painting together is so pleasing to the eye!¡±


    ¡­


    it got dark while they were painting. the police soon brought specialized doctors, nanny robots, and medical robots, then finally arrived at xie¡¯s house.


    lu yanzhou stopped painting and looked at them: ¡°why did you bring a doctor?¡± he even brought more than one doctor¡­is there something wrong with xie chengze¡¯s health?


    ¡°mr. lu, we found electric shock devices in the xie villa. after interrogation, we found that it was used on xie chengze. he now needs a detailed examination.¡± the policeman said.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s expression changed.


    people watching the live stream were also stunned.


    they could see the marks on xie chengze¡¯s face and hands, but they only thought it was because xie chengze was stimulated and went crazy, hurting himself. it wasn¡¯t?


    he was abused?


    no, this is not just ordinary abuse, this is electric shock!


    xie chengze is also xie¡¯s child. he also has such a high talent for painting, but the xie family actually treats him like this?


    lu yanzhou clenched his fists. the medical robot that received the order had arrived behind xie chengze. a very thin needle penetrated xie chengze¡¯s skin, then xie chengze suddenly fell to the ground.


    the robot caught him and began to examine him in detail.


    ¡°underweight, malnutrition, stomach problems, insufficient muscle mass, lumbar muscle strain¡­¡±


    xie chengze, who is only 20 years old, does not have any major problems, but he has a bunch of minor problems and many skin injuries.


    he is a complete wretch.


    when yu qinshan and others saw this result, they were silent.


    lu yanzhou also made a decision in an instant. he wanted to take xie chengze away from here.


    even though taking xie chengze to an unfamiliar environment might make xie chengze uncomfortable, he still wanted to take xie chengze away.


    it¡¯s not how he wanted to take xie chengze away from the villa as he had planned before, but he wanted to take xie chengze somewhere else completely.


    yu qinshan glanced at his grandson and said directly to the police: ¡°i want to apply to become xie chengze¡¯s guardian.¡±


    yu qinshan has a very good resume and can definitely become xie chengze¡¯s guardian. now that the situation is special, the processing speed is even faster.


    lu yanzhou turned off the live stream and planned to take xie chengze to yu qinshan¡¯s residence.


    however, when he was about to pick up xie chengze, who was still sleeping, the nanny robot stopped him.


    well, until xie chengze recovers, no one can be too intimate with him.


    lu yanzhou glanced at his grandfather and began to move things in the studio.


    everything here belongs to xie chengze and is familiar to xie chengze, so he naturally has to bring it with him.


    looking at the thin xie chengze, who was asleep due to the effects of the medicine, lu yanzhou suddenly realized that it was urgent to accumulate merit.


    he must cure xie chengze as soon as possible and let xie chengze return to normal!


    xie chengze should be sober and happily accept everyone¡¯s blessings, instead of living in a hazy state, not even knowing how to fight back when being bullied.

 CH 192

    lu yanzhou took xie chengze to his grandfather¡¯s house.


    the original owner had a residence, but the environment was not very good. lu yanzhou felt that compared to the original owner¡¯s messy residence, xie chengze would prefer his grandfather¡¯s villa filled with painting supplies.


    of course, he make such a choice because of his grandpa¡¯s kind invitation.


    lu yanzhou did not take xie chengze to the bedroom prepared for xie chengze, but let xie chengze rest on the sofa in the huge studio on the second floor.


    waking up and finding himself in the studio should make xie chengze feel better.


    lu yanzhou placed xie chengze¡¯s things near the sofa, spread out a folding bed next to him and lay down.


    from yesterday until today, a total of two days and one night, he had not rested, so he was really tired.


    not to mention that the original owner has been ruining his body in the past few years. in fact, his physical condition is not much better than xie chengze.


    because he had rescued xie chengze, lu yanzhou slept very soundly this night.


    he didn¡¯t open his eyes until the sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then he saw xie chengze lying on the sofa, looking at him intently.


    ¡°good morning, aze.¡± lu yanzhou smiled at xie chengze.


    xie chengze looked away silently, looking irritated at the surrounding environment, then grabbed his hair with one hand and pulled it out.


    seeing that he was a little uneasy, lu yanzhou reached out and held his other hand: ¡°aze, i¡¯ll take you to the toilet.¡±


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou and put down his hand holding his hair.


    lu yanzhou led him to the toilet next to them.


    the nanny robot followed closely and drove lu yanzhou out after xie chengze entered the toilet.


    fine¡­


    listening to the sound of the nanny robot assisting xie chengze in the toilet, lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes felt sore.


    he covered his face and smiled.


    he always thought that xie chengze¡¯s condition was serious, but in fact it was not.


    taking a deep breath, lu yanzhou asked the yu family¡¯s nanny robot to prepare breakfast.


    breakfast had been prepared long ago. when xie chengze came out of the toilet, a small dining table had been set up next to the sofa with several kinds of food on it.


    ¡°aze, come and eat something first.¡± lu yanzhou greeted xie chengze. seeing xie chengze sit down and take a piece of toast and start eating, he went to the toilet.


    when he came out, he saw that xie chengze was already eating his second piece of toast, nibbling it round and round.


    he gnawed very seriously, his bites were very even. the toast turned into a big circle in his hand first, then turned into a small circle, and then he ate it in one bite.


    after chewing the piece, he took another piece and ate it, but didn¡¯t eat anything else.


    ¡°aze, eat something too.¡± lu yanzhou put a fried egg on the empty plate in front of xie chengze.


    he was a little worried that xie chengze wouldn¡¯t eat the egg, but no such thing happened ¡ª when xie chengze finished eating the toast, he took the egg, turning it in circles as he nibbled on it.


    lu yanzhou tentatively gave him a piece of fruit, and he ate it too.


    it can be said that he will eat whatever was given to him. the only problem may be that he always eats with his hands.


    however, the nanny robot has already helped wash his hands, so it is okay to take it with his hands.


    while lu yanzhou was eating, he was also feeding xie chengze.


    xie chengze had a bad stomach, so he didn¡¯t dare to feed xie chengze too much. when he saw that it should be enough, he took a handkerchief to wipe xie chengze¡¯s hands.


    xie chengze did not resist. after wiping his hands, he silently came to the easel, he continued painting the painting he didn¡¯t finish yesterday.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t care at all that he was suddenly in a strange place.


    lu yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. he took out his communication terminal, then began to fill out his resignation application.


    people in this world lack nothing materially. although he are rich, it¡¯s close to impossible to obtain merit through donations.


    but he still found a way to gain merit.


    because there are too many material things, people here have very high spiritual needs, so many people tend to be in a bad mood for a long time.


    if he can bring happiness to others, he can also gain merit.


    as for how to bring happiness to people¡­just paint.


    when people appreciate high-level works of art, they can feel the emotions the painter wants to express.


    lu yanzhou plans to live-stream their painting time, teach people how to paint, and bring happiness to as many people as possible.


    he has to take care of xie chengze, and with the live broadcast, he will definitely have no time to be a professor. thus, it would be better to resign as soon as possible.


    after filling out the resignation application, lu yanzhou looked at the message sent by the organizing committee of the college painting competition.


    the competition organizing committee had previously deprived him of his qualification as a judge and asked him to pay liquidated damages, but now they have invited him to continue being a judge.


    lu yanzhou refused without hesitation.


    in fact, the competition organizing committee cannot be blamed for what happened this time. to be honest, it was xie chengran who is too good at pretending.


    however, when lu yanzhou thought about how in the original trajectory, the original owner was attacked without doing anything and could not even defend himself, the competition organizing committee also added insult to injury¡­


    he could not forgive the other party.


    with this in mind, lu yanzhou blocked meng yulin, who had sent him many apologies.


    since you have done something wrong, you must bear the consequences.


    lu yanzhou quickly dealt with various matters, then more than an hour had passed.


    he came to xie chengze¡¯s side and held xie chengze¡¯s painting hand: ¡°aze, let¡¯s take a rest.¡±


    xie chengze was visibly agitated and grabbed the painting with his other hand.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, let¡¯s take a break and start painting later, okay?¡±


    xie chengze still didn¡¯t move, so lu yanzhou coaxed him again: ¡°take a walk with me, okay?¡±


    after saying that, lu yanzhou held xie chengze¡¯s hand. after putting away the paintbrush, he led xie chengze downstairs.


    xie chengze did not resist, nor did he go crazy. he was pulled by lu yanzhou and came downstairs in a daze.


    lu yanzhou handed him a glass of juice, took him outside, then walked around yu qinshan¡¯s villa with him.


    there were no other residents around yu qinshan¡¯s villa, but the scenery was very nice. lu yanzhou pulled xie chengze around four times before taking xie chengze back.


    xie chengze was in a daze the whole time, but when he returned to the half-painted picture, his eyes lit up.


    he sat back at his easel and continued painting.


    lu yanzhou thought for a moment, then started the live stream.


    after turning on the autonomous mode of the live stream camera, he continued to paint the painting he had not finished yesterday.


    ¡°ahhhhh! lu yanzhou is live streaming again!¡±


    ¡°how is xie chengze?¡±


    ¡°is he okay?¡±


    ¡°they are painting, what a beautiful scene!¡±


    ¡­


    during the live stream, lu yanzhou and xie chengze were both painting quietly. this scene is indescribably beautiful and makes people feel calm.


    many people who came to the live stream room did not want to leave.


    this time, xie chengze painted for an hour before lu yanzhou stepped forward to stop him: ¡°aze, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±


    ¡°will xie chengze go crazy since he won¡¯t let him paint?¡±


    ¡°i¡¯ve seen the video of him hitting the wall. it¡¯s scary.¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou, be careful!¡±


    ¡­


    as they were talking, they saw xie chengze being held up by lu yanzhou. although he was a little unhappy, he was not angry.


    lu yanzhou brought him to the dining table, then he took the sandwich with his hands and ate it in circles.


    ¡°xie chengze¡¯s action is really different from the video taken by xie chengran!¡±


    ¡°xie chengze looks so cute when he eats the sandwich!¡±


    ¡°i don¡¯t know why, but i feel very happy just watching them eat.¡±


    ¡­


    after lunch, lu yanzhou took xie chengze to wash his hands.


    in fact, even if he doesn¡¯t do anything, the nanny robot will help xie chengze. for example, if xie chengze doesn¡¯t eat when the time comes, the nanny robot will remind him repeatedly and even feed him.


    however, a robot is a robot after all, so he prefers to do it himself.


    after helping xie chengze wash his hands, lu yanzhou took him outside and walked slowly around the villa.


    ¡°this villa is so beautiful outside!¡±


    ¡°the scenery is so good!¡±


    ¡°the scenery is beautiful and the people are handsome!¡±


    ¡­


    as they walked, lu yanzhou picked a flower and gave it to xie chengze: ¡°aze, for you.¡±


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou blankly. lu yanzhou put the flowers into xie chengze¡¯s hand.


    xie chengze stared at the flower. as he looked, he began to pull the flower petals and tore them into pieces.


    however, lu yanzhou thought the way he pulled the petals was beautiful.


    ¡°it¡¯s such a pity that such a beautiful flower was torn apart by him.¡±


    ¡°he also seems to have the desire to destroy, right?¡±


    ¡°why did he tear the flower?¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know why xie chengze tore the flower, but in the afternoon, he knew the reason.


    xie chengze is painting him again. when it was almost finished, xie chengze then added a flower to it.


    a beautiful flower in full bloom.


    he tore the flower, but recorded the flower forever.


    that flower is really really beautiful.


    in the afternoon, lu yanzhou only let xie chengze paint for two hours, and then took xie chengze to play with paint.


    he took out a lot of paints and a lot of brushes, sat on the ground, dipped the paintbrushes into the paints, and applied them on the white paper, while explaining some basic painting methods.


    he felt xie chengze could understand.


    people watching the live broadcast, who like arts, should also be able to understand it too.


    xie chengze could indeed understand. he was separated from the world by a layer of fog, but he was still stunned when he saw lu yanzhou painting.


    picking up a paintbrush, he followed lu yanzhou¡¯s example and tried playing with various paints.


    in the detention center, xiao rong is watching the live stream.


    the money given to meng yulin was taken from his account. he was the one who bought the black navy to attack lu yanzhou. he was the one who talked with the competition organizing committee.


    he can¡¯t clean up this time and his family also can¡¯t protect him because of reputation.


    he is destined to go to jail, but at most he will get some privileges, such as being able to still use the communication terminal to access starnet.


    can¡¯t speak but can browse.


    watching xie chengze draw obediently, eat obediently, and follow lu yanzhou in circles, his heart seemed to be tightly entangled with thorny vines.


    xie chengze should obviously be his! it was he who met xie chengze first!


    but now, he has nothing.

 CH 193

    after dinner, lu yanzhou turned off the live broadcast and took xie chengze to familiarize himself with the bedroom he had prepared for xie chengze.


    that was originally the bedroom he lived in when he came here, but now it was packed out for xie chengze to live in.


    xie chengze has been very cooperative. he followed lu yanzhou to the room obediently, followed the nanny robot to wash up, then lay down on the bed obediently.


    ¡°aze, can you stay here tonight?¡± lu yanzhou asked xie chengze, and of course he didn¡¯t get an answer. the nanny robot quietly stayed by xie chengze¡¯s side.


    today, the nanny robot assigned to xie chengze by the government has been following xie chengze from beginning to end, protecting him.


    sometimes lu yanzhou¡¯s behavior would be stopped if he went too far. there¡¯s also a rule in its program that no one else would be allowed to sleep with xie chengze.


    this is also to protect patients like xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t stay here but he also wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave. he touched xie chengze¡¯s hair and said, ¡°go to sleep.¡±


    lu yanzhou planned to wait until xie chengze fell asleep before leaving, but xie chengze didn¡¯t sleep. he lay on the bed with his eyes open. after thinking for a while, he sat on the edge of the bed and hummed a lullaby in a low voice.


    xie chengze listened and finally closed his eyes.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t stop and hummed for a long while. it wasn¡¯t until xie chengze completely quieted down that he stood up and quietly opened the door.


    when he came outside the door, he closed the door and opened the folding bed next to him.


    he planned to sleep at the door, so that if anything happened in xie chengze¡¯s room, he would know it immediately.


    however, before lu yanzhou could open the folding bed, there was a sudden sound of banging on the door. there was only one sound, but it was followed by xie chengze¡¯s ¡®wu¡¯ sound.


    lu yanzhou quickly opened the door and saw the nanny robot hugging xie chengze, who was struggling hard.


    however, when he saw him, xie chengze stopped struggling and lowered his head to look at the ground.


    lu yanzhou felt like his heart had been hammered.


    xie chengze¡¯s action is very good today even if he hasn¡¯t adapted to the new environment at all.


    he thought it was because xie chengze¡¯s condition was not serious, but maybe that wasn¡¯t the case.


    he might be like this because he is here with him.


    although xie chengze didn¡¯t look at him, he always listened to his words.


    ¡°aze, you don¡¯t want to be alone?¡± lu yanzhou asked the nanny robot to let xie chengze go, and then dragged the folding bed in from the door. ¡°don¡¯t worry, i won¡¯t leave you alone. i¡¯m just going outside to get my bed.¡±


    xie chengze blinked, then went back to bed and lay down obediently.


    lu yanzhou unfolded the folding bed and placed it in the bedroom. seeing that the nanny robot did not stop him, he lay down peacefully.


    he can¡¯t leave xie chengze anymore.


    he may be more important to xie chengze than he thought.


    many things in this world can be handled online.


    a month later, lu yanzhou had completed his resignation. in addition, all the paintings he had auctioned were sold.


    there¡¯s no ink painting masters in this era, which means that top-notch traditional ink painting works are scarce. in addition, lu yanzhou made such a fuss before, which brought his reputation to its peak¡­


    all his works were sold at high prices.


    when lu yanzhou got the money, he donated all the money from the auction and the original owner¡¯s savings to help those in need.


    the welfare of this world is very good. however, there are still people who need help, but there are a lot less.


    previously on starnet, there were still a few die-hard fans of xie chengran who insisted that lu yanzhou was not much better, so he just wanted to use this incident to gain fame and make money.


    as a result, lu yanzhou got it and donated it all, which caught them off guard.


    ¡°those people who have been whitewashing xie chengran are making me laugh to death! they said that xie chengran was still young and was forced by his parents¡­even if he occupied xie chengze¡¯s paintings because he was forced by his parents, he is treating xie chengze bad also because he being force too?¡±


    ¡°xie chengran always told people before that his younger brother was seriously ill and tends to hit people¡­but this month, i have been watching the live broadcast every day and i have never seen xie chengze hit anyone!¡±


    ¡°yeah. aze doesn¡¯t hit anyone at all, he is very obedient too!¡±


    ¡°just doing whatever he was told. xie chengze is so cute!¡±


    ¡°upstairs, aze didn¡¯t do whatever he was asked to do. lu yanzhou asked him to take a nap and he pretended to sleep. when lu yanzhou also fell asleep, he got up and went painting again, which is really cute!¡±


    ¡°yes, hahahaha! the funniest thing is that lu yanzhou was actually pretending to be asleep as well. when he found out that xie chengze was pretending to be asleep, he was dumbfounded.¡±


    ¡­


    when xie chengze first arrived at yu¡¯s villa, in fact, he was a bit reserved. lu yanzhou also noticed that if he left xie chengze, xie chengze would be very anxious.


    but after living there for a few days and living a regular life, xie chengze became lively.


    he even learned to secretly pretend to be asleep!


    not only that, lu yanzhou also discovered that xie chengze¡¯s learning ability is quite good. for example, when he teaches him to eat with chopsticks, he learns it after he taught him a few times.


    thinking about it, he can draw such beautiful paintings, how could his learning ability be poor?


    it¡¯s just that the world in his eyes is different from the world in other people¡¯s eyes.


    lu yanzhou started the live broadcast again and taught the viewers how to draw.


    at this time, xie chengze¡¯s painting speed would also slow down, and he would look at him from time to time. seeing that xie chengze is also listening to lu yanzhou class, he became more and more excited as he talked.


    ¡°as expected of lu yanzhou, the one who painted ¡®star¡¯! he has such a deep understanding of oil painting!¡±


    ¡°i kind of know why he can tell at a glance that something is wrong with xie chengran. look at him, then look at xie chengran¡­xie chengran basic skills is really not good!¡±


    ¡°that meng yulin was sentenced, i¡¯m really happy! lu yanzhou is so good at teaching but he said that lu yanzhou can¡¯t teach!¡±


    ¡­


    while everyone was talking, they saw xie chengze taking out another blank paper, seemingly about to paint a new painting: ¡°aze is going to paint again!¡±


    ¡°what will he paint this time?¡±


    ¡°what else can he paint? it must be lu yanzhou again!¡±


    ¡°he has already drawn several paintings of lu yanzhou, does he still plan to draw him again?¡±


    ¡°according to the police investigation, he has been forced to draw things he didn¡¯t want to draw before. now i guess he plans to paint what he wants to paint all at once!¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze has painted several paintings of lu yanzhou during this period.


    sometimes what he started to paint, it was not lu yanzhou, but the nearby scenery, or simply the studio where he was.


    then at the end, as he continued to paint¡­he added lu yanzhou to the painting.


    but this time, xie chengze was indeed painting lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou was lying leisurely, seemingly sleeping.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou was a little worried. he was afraid that if others saw the painting xie chengze painted now, they would think that he was intending to do something to xie chengze by sleeping in the same bedroom as xie chengze ¡ª this painting xie chengze painted now is when he was sleeping in the room.


    then, everyone was laughing: ¡°it¡¯s lu yanzhou sleeping on the folding bed!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou forced aze to take a nap all day long. i thought aze would have a problem with lu yanzhou, but i didn¡¯t expect that he would even painted lu yanzhou taking a nap.¡±


    ¡°aze drew a picture of lu yanzhou taking a nap, it¡¯s so beautiful.¡±


    ¡­


    seeing the comments, lu yanzhou felt relieved.


    he takes a nap with xie chengze in the studio every day, and they also use a folding bed. this is good.


    lu yanzhou stopped paying attention to the live stream. his teaching for today was over, so he took out a pencil and started sketching.


    when he first drew xie chengze, he did it with a pencil. at this time, he became very familiar with it.


    people watching the live broadcast were shocked: ¡°lu yanzhou is too awesome, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter if he is good at oil paintings, but he is also good at ink paintings too, and now he can also sketch so well!¡±


    ¡°he is a genius! looking at it these days, don¡¯t you understand yet?¡±


    ¡°his paintings of xie chengze are really beautiful. every time i see his paintings, i fall in love with xie chengze.¡±


    ¡°then you look at xie chengze¡¯s paintings and fall in love with him, right?¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou has been live streaming during this time. he painted a lot of paintings and was regarded as a painting genius.


    no one watching the live broadcast had any doubts about his ability.


    but in their hearts, they can¡¯t help but sigh secretly ¡ª what a pity!


    what a pity, lu yanzhou and xie chengze have no future.


    this month, lu yanzhou took very good care of xie chengze, even if xie chengze didn¡¯t respond much.


    previously, everyone thought that he would have only one ¡®beloved¡¯ ¡ª after understanding xie chengze¡¯s situation, there is a high probability that he will no longer like xie chengze so much.


    however, this is not the case. lu yanzhou has recently painted many paintings of xie chengze. in fact, every painting shows true love.


    lu yanzhou¡­just by looking at his paintings, one can tell that he loves xie chengze very very much.


    what about xie chengze? xie chengze obviously likes him too.


    xie chengze cannot express himself because of his illness, but he has been painting lu yanzhou.


    the paintings he painted are actually similar to ¡®beloved¡¯. without deep love, it cannot be painted.


    however, with his condition now, he couldn¡¯t be with lu yanzhou.


    the sweeter the two of them seem, the more tragic it is.


    now lu yanzhou still loves xie chengze, but if xie chengze will always be like this. after one year, two years, three years, even ten or twenty years¡­can lu yanzhou still persist?


    what will happen to xie chengze then?


    some people watching the live broadcast actually felt very uncomfortable privately.


    on the one hand, they feel that these two people are really in love now, but on the other hand, they don¡¯t want to witness the disappearance of this love.


    most people felt that lu yanzhou could not hold on for long.


    because xie chengze had no way to communicate with him.


    but they were all wrong. a year later, lu yanzhou still took good care of xie chengze, and xie chengze still drew lu yanzhou every day.


    every day during the day, lu yanzhou would live stream, and then they would see the warm daily life of xie chengze and lu yanzhou.


    in a bad mood, feel uncomfortable, feel empty¡­just enter this live stream room to watch and their mood will immediately feel better.


    who knows how many people who can¡¯t find the meaning of life realize the beauty of life just by looking at it.


    of course, lu yanzhou and xie chengze have always been like this, which is also worrying.


    yu qinshan was very confused.


    he always thought that his grandson¡¯s good impression of xie chengze was vague. once he really got along with xie chengze, this good impression would fade until it disappeared.


    but a year has passed, and the light in his grandson¡¯s eyes when he looks at xie chengze is still there.


    even if xie chengze couldn¡¯t respond, his grandson still loved xie chengze deeply.


    yu qinshan didn¡¯t know what to do. what would happen to these two people in the future?

 CH 194

    ¡°dear aze, you¡¯re awake.¡± after lu yanzhou got up, he greeted xie chengze with a smile.


    xie chengze, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, glanced at him, and then slowly went into the bathroom to wash up.


    lu yanzhou took advantage of this time to put away his folding bed and notify the yu family¡¯s nanny robot to prepare breakfast.


    after xie chengze finished washing, lu yanzhou entered the bathroom. xie chengze did not leave but waited at the door.


    ¡°aze, i¡¯m ready. let¡¯s go have breakfast together.¡± lu yanzhou quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, wiped off the water stains on his face and said to xie chengze.


    xie chengze glanced at him and remained silent, but followed lu yanzhou to the dinning room.


    when xie chengze first came here, they basically ate in the studio, but as xie chengze gradually adapted to life here, they ate with yu qinshan in the dinning.


    the three of them lived very normal lives. when lu yanzhou and xie chengze went out, they saw yu qinshan coming out of the room next door.


    ¡°aze, good morning!¡± yu qinshan smiled and greeted xie chengze.


    xie chengze still didn¡¯t respond, only lu yanzhou responded to yu qinshan: ¡°grandpa, good morning!¡±


    today¡¯s breakfast was steamed buns, milk, and salad made of vegetables and fruits.


    xie chengze already knew how to use chopsticks and ate silently, but lu yanzhou still didn¡¯t let him be: ¡°aze, are today¡¯s buns delicious?¡±


    ¡°aze, you must finish the salad, it¡¯s nutritious.¡±


    ¡°of course, my aze is the most well-behaved and is not picky at all.¡±


    ¡°aze, let¡¯s go for a walk after we finish eating. the weather is very good today.¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou, his action of taking the carrots out of his plate pause.


    in the past, his eyes were only bright when he was drawing, but now when he looks at lu yanzhou, his eyes also brighten.


    lu yanzhou felt his heart melt when he saw the look in his eyes.


    when yu qinshan saw this scene, he sighed secretly in his heart.


    his grandson and xie chengze both have outstanding looks and seem to match each other very well.


    it¡¯s a pity that xie chengze is in such a state¡­


    no matter how much his grandson likes xie chengze, he may not be willing to coax xie chengze all the time. if one day his grandson gets tired of it, what will xie chengze do?


    after breakfast and coming outside, lu yanzhou started the live stream again.


    except when he was teaching people to draw, he rarely talked to the people in the live stream room since his attention was all on xie chengze.


    during the walk, he only talked to xie chengze and told xie chengze all about the trees and flowers around them.


    ¡°aze, i¡¯ll take you somewhere else to play in a few days, okay?¡± lu yanzhou asked xie chengze.


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou.


    ¡°where do you want to go? to the beach? or hiking?¡± lu yanzhou asked xie chengze.


    people in the live stream room looked at it and felt extremely heartwarming.


    ¡°i woke up early in the morning to watch the live stream, my heart felt warm.¡±


    ¡°i really hope they will always stay good.¡±


    ¡°i follow their schedule now, my life is very healthy!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°today¡¯s rose flowers are very beautiful.¡± lu yanzhou smiled and said to xie chengze.


    xie chengze, who had been motionless, suddenly took a step forward, picked a rose flower and handed it to lu yanzhou.


    ¡°thank you, aze. aze, you are great. i like this flower very much!¡± lu yanzhou smiled, took the flower and smelled it.


    xie chengze lowered his head again, then a vague voice suddenly came out of his mouth: ¡°zhou.¡±


    lu yanzhou was stunned, then hugged xie chengze: ¡°aze, you just said my name? you are really great, i¡¯m so happy!¡±


    xie chengze raised his head and hugged lu yanzhou.


    ¡°ahhh! i¡¯m so happy!¡±


    ¡°aze responded!¡±


    ¡°aze can talk!¡±


    ¡°i really cried and laughed at the same time.¡±


    ¡°i suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. in fact, aze¡¯s illness is not that serious. if he had received good treatment when he was a child, he might be able to live more like a regular person now!¡±


    ¡­


    there are many types of autism, among which xie chengze is considered better.


    everyone has long since discovered that he can draw any scenery just by looking at it.


    he also has the ability to take care of himself.


    now they also discovered that he could talk.


    when he was a child, if someone had taught him well, even if he couldn¡¯t be like a normal person, his situation would definitely be much better than it is now.


    it¡¯s a pity¡­it¡¯s really a pity¡­


    people are indispensable, so they started to attack the xie¡¯s family again.


    xie chengran, who has been released from prison, looked at the various comments on the internet and was so angry that he almost dropped the terminal contact.


    lu yanzhou prosecuted the xie family for many crimes, and the xie family were all sentenced. compared with father xie and mother xie, xie chengran¡¯s sentence was the shortest.


    when xie chengran first used xie chengze¡¯s works as his own, he was still very young and not yet an adult.


    he also said in court that he was young at the time and didn¡¯t understand anything. he only listened to his parents and even reported some things his parents had done, such as his parents beating xie chengze, denying xie chengze food, and stunning him with an electric shock device, and so on.


    xie chengran cried and said that he was afraid that his parents would treat him the same way they treated xie chengze, so he listened to his parents to take the painting as his.


    for these reasons, xie chengran was only sentenced to one year.


    he has been out of prison for many days. after he was released from prison, he saw a lot of news related to xie chengze on the internet.


    xie chengze, who he had looked down on since he was a child and thought he was only worthy of being his stepping stone, has now become a well-known painter, and lu yanzhou also takes good care of him.


    he had dated a better boyfriend than lu yanzhou. however, xiao rong was actually a bit chauvinistic and wouldn¡¯t be as gentle as lu yanzhou.


    what is so good about xie chengze that lu yanzhou likes him so much?


    even if lu yanzhou likes xie chengze, in xie chengze¡¯s situation, lu yanzhou can¡¯t even be intimate with xie chengze¡­why doesn¡¯t lu yanzhou come to see him who looks exactly like xie chengze?


    he can do a lot of things that xie chengze can¡¯t!


    after xie chengran was released from prison, he actually contacted lu yanzhou and asked lu yanzhou to take him in. unfortunately, lu yanzhou blocked him directly and wasn¡¯t even willing to give him even one word of reply!


    why!


    just as xie chengran was fuming in anger, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears: ¡°xie chengran?¡±


    xie chengran raised his head and saw xiao rong with gloomy eyes.


    he looked at xiao rong and couldn¡¯t help but tremble.


    xiao rong smiled: ¡°xie chengran, you deceived me so bad¡­¡±


    there was something wrong with xiao rong¡¯s smile, so xie chengran couldn¡¯t help but tremble.


    it was only after he was arrested that he found out that xiao rong liked xie chengze.


    this is really ridiculous!


    now that xiao rong came to him, what did he want to do?


    as xie chengran looked at xiao rong¡¯s eyes that seemed to look at him as if he was someone else, he suddenly realized why xiao rong came to find him.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t plan to find a substitute, but xiao rong obviously wanted to find one.


    but he still followed xiao rong.


    although the xie family is not a wealthy family, he has not lacked anything since he was a child. when xie chengze¡¯s talent for painting was discovered, his life became better and better.


    he could no longer live a poor life.


    as for xiao rong¡­what xiao rong did a year ago was mainly framing lu yanzhou.


    however, his family has a background. he said that he only did that because his family asked him to. for example, he didn¡¯t even know meng yulin at first, but it was the xie¡¯s family who asked him to spend money to bribe meng yulin, so he gave money to meng yulin.


    coupled with his willingness to pay a huge fine, he was sentenced to one year like xie chengran.


    this year, he has been following xie chengze and watching xie chengze¡¯s live broadcasts.


    although xie chengze would not respond, he was so beautiful that after falling in love, he also liked that person wholeheartedly.


    xiao rong regretted it very much. if he had been kinder to xie chengze and rescued xie chengze when he was imprisoned by his parents, would xie chengze¡¯s paintings be full of him?


    then he must build a beautiful villa and let xie chengze live in it!


    it¡¯s all because xie chengran lied to him!


    but he won¡¯t give up, as long as there is a chance¡­he must get xie chengze!


    it was he who fell in love with xie chengze first!


    lu yanzhou knew about xie chengran and xiao rong¡¯s release from prison, but he didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    with his current status, it would not be that easy for others to harm him.


    if he had that time, he might as well talk to xie chengze more.


    he has been selling paintings to make money and donating money over the past year, and he also insists on live streaming. he has accumulated a lot of merit. soon, xie chengze should be able to return to normal.


    he is talking to xie chengze more now because it¡¯s like cultivating feelings in advance!

 CH 195

    xie chengze painted again. what he painted was lu yanzhou holding a rose, putting it under his nose and smelling it gently.


    lu yanzhou smiled when he saw this: ¡°aze, why do you keep drawing me?¡±


    xie chengze ignored him and continued painting.


    ¡°does aze think i¡¯m quite handsome?¡± lu yanzhou laughed, ¡°am i the most handsome person in the world?¡±


    xie chengze still concentrated on painting. the painting xie chengze has deep and lingering gazes.


    lu yanzhou sat next to him and looked at him: ¡°aze, if you don¡¯t speak, i¡¯ll take it as your acquiescence!¡±


    of course xie chengze didn¡¯t speak, but people watching the live stream kept talking: ¡°i didn¡¯t expect you to be such a lu yanzhou!¡±


    ¡°so narcissistic!¡±


    ¡°but not annoying at all!¡±


    ¡­


    someone also asked lu yanzhou whether the paintings painted by xie chengze were for sale.


    of course they are not for sale. xie chengze painted him. how could lu yanzhou sell these paintings?


    ¡°aze, this is my name, lu yanzhou.¡± lu yanzhou wrote the three characters ¡®lu yanzhou¡¯ on the white paper while talking to xie chengze.


    after finishing writing, he wrote the words ¡®xie chengze¡¯ next to it: ¡°this is your name, xie chengze. it sounds very nice.¡±


    over the past year, lu yanzhou taught xie chengze to write his name more than once, but xie chengze didn¡¯t pay much attention to it before.


    however, this time, xie chengze looked at the white paper in front of lu yanzhou, then began to write on his own ¡®painting¡¯.


    it was indeed calligraphy. he did not write like ordinary people, but wrote little by little with a brush. finally, he wrote the three characters that were similar to the one lu yanzhou wrote.


    that¡¯s lu yanzhou¡¯s name.


    ¡°aze is awesome!¡± lu yanzhou praised xie chengze.


    xie chengze continued painting without looking back.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± he feels that compared to him, xie chengze likes painting more, and he also likes painting him the most.


    lu yanzhou spread out a huge piece of rice paper on the table next to him, preparing to draw ink paintings.


    this year, both he and xie chengze painted many works, which can be said to be very productive.


    unlike xie chengze who has him in every painting that he was reluctant to sell, he usually paints some works specially for others to sell.


    most of these works are landscape paintings in traditional ink paintings.


    he is good at painting these.


    lu yanzhou was preparing to paint when yu qinshan came with several of his friends.


    ¡°grandpa zhang, grandma li¡­¡± lu yanzhou greeted them.


    since he and xie chengze moved here, these friends of yu qinshan would often visit them and try to teach xie chengze how to draw.


    however, they stopped teaching after a few times.


    this is not because xie chengze doesn¡¯t learn. on the contrary, although xie chengze doesn¡¯t respond, when someone paints around him, he would look and learn.


    the main thing is¡­xie chengze is self-taught in painting, so he naturally learns what they teach him very quickly.


    they have nothing to teach now!


    later, they came here just to enjoy xie chengze and lu yanzhou¡¯ paintings. sometimes when they got interested, they would also paint another one.


    ¡°xiao lu, you¡¯re going to paint? it¡¯s such a big paper. the scene you want to paint this time is not small?¡± everyone came to lu yanzhou.


    ¡°it¡¯s not small.¡± lu yanzhou said what he planned to paint.


    ¡°xiao lu, you have been painting landscapes. do you want to go out and see these beautiful mountains and rivers?¡± a friend of yu qinshan suddenly asked.


    lu yanzhou looked at the other party.


    the man said: ¡°the painting association is organizing a collection and wants to invite you to go. do you want to go?¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s heart moved, so he said: ¡°i really want to go out for a walk, but i won¡¯t participate in group activities.¡±


    in the previous year, lu yanzhou had been accompanying xie chengze.


    he had to help xie chengze adapt to the environment, help xie chengze recuperate his body, and teach xie chengze to paint¡­he was very busy, so a year passed almost in the blink of an eye.


    he has been thinking about going out for a walk recently, and now is just right.


    however, he did not participate in the painting association group activities. not all colleagues had a favorable impression of him and xie chengze. there were many people in the painting world who did not like him.


    he didn¡¯t mind if those people said something unpleasant in front of him, but he didn¡¯t want xie chengze to hear it.


    ¡°not participating in group activities? are you planning to take aze out alone? where are you going?¡± yu qinshan asked.


    lu yanzhou thought for a moment and said, ¡°just walking around anywhere.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good! i¡¯ll go with you, and we¡¯ll take care of each other!¡± yu qinshan hasn¡¯t gone out for a long time. compared with the meeting with the painting association, of course he would rather go out with his grandson. thinking about this, yu qinshan asked his friends: ¡°do you want to come too?¡±


    several of yu qinshan¡¯s friends immediately said: ¡°yes!¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± how many people does he plan to bring?!


    yu qinshan looked at lu yanzhou: ¡°what? you don¡¯t welcome us? are you afraid that we will disturb your two-person world?¡±


    lu yanzhou was helpless: ¡°no. grandpa, you also know that it is impossible for me to have a two-person world.¡± there will always be a robot between him and xie chengze.


    ¡°then take good care of us!¡± said yu qinshan.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou took xie chengze and several elderly people to form a senior group and went out to collect local cultural material.


    even though these old people are old artists, their actions are actually similar to other elderly people.


    they get up early every morning, walk around energetically, and take pictures¡­well, what¡¯s different from ordinary elderly is that when they see the beautiful scenery, they sometimes write poems and paint.


    lu yanzhou took xie chengze with them, arranged food and accommodation, then live-streamed his various experiences in the ¡®senior group¡¯.


    ¡°this made me laugh to death. i didn¡¯t expect these masters to be similar to my parents!¡±


    ¡°the old man is very kind. every time he takes a picture, he always makes lu yanzhou and xie chengze stand in the c position.¡±


    ¡°aze¡¯s expression is frozen. i feel like he can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡±


    ¡°aze: anyone who doesn¡¯t let me paint is a bad person!¡±


    ¡°aze is so cute. lu yanzhou was pulling him around with a toddler leash the whole time!¡±


    ¡°i¡¯d love to have such a aze!¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou took great care of the elderly people along the way, but the one who he took care of the most was xie chengze.


    he bought the best toddler leash online to bind him to xie chengze. he also brought many robots to protect xie chengze¡¯s safety and respond to various emergencies.


    however, xie chengze has always been well-behaved, so there was no unexpected situation.


    lu yanzhou also found that although he could not draw during this period, xie chengze was in a good mood.


    when they arrived at the beach, xie chengze even dug a hole on the beach with an expressionless face. he dug it bigger and deeper, the dug sand piled high beside the hole.


    digging and digging¡­


    xie chengze, standing in the pit with his legs soaked in sea water, looked blankly at the high ¡®sand walls¡¯ around him and called out: ¡°zhouzhou.¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m here!¡± lu yanzhou jumped in .


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou in disbelief, then at the sand wall. he silently put down the shovel and began to climb up.


    as a result, as soon as he climbed up, he used a shovel to dig beside the sand pile beside the pit and it collapse.


    lu yanzhou burst out laughing.


    ¡°lmao!¡±


    ¡°aze, come to my arms! lu yanzhou is so bad, he bullies you!¡±


    ¡°aze¡¯s confused look is so cute.¡±


    ¡°hahahaha! aze: i want you to save me, what are you doing? why did you jump in too?¡±


    ¡°lovely aze, be strong and save yourself!¡±


    ¡­


    xiao rong looked at xie chengze who finally climbed out after trying hard to climb up and was covered with sand. the corners of his mouth curled up.


    but when he saw lu yanzhou crawling out behind xie chengze, his expression turned ugly again.


    the person xiao rong dislikes most is definitely lu yanzhou.


    no, this is no longer disliked, but hate.


    he is the young master of the xiao family. he has had everything he wanted since he was a child, but he happened to stumble upon lu yanzhou.


    if lu yanzhou hadn¡¯t insisted, he wouldn¡¯t have been imprisoned for a year.


    although he actually didn¡¯t have a bad year that year, it was very humiliating.


    what dissatisfied him the most was that he had to watch lu yanzhou and xie chengze get intimate.


    xie chengze is his obsession. he must get xie chengze, and he has been preparing for it these days.


    however, he wanted to cause trouble for lu yanzhou, but there was nowhere to start.


    he wanted to take xie chengze away secretly, but there was no chance.


    he found someone to encourage people around lu yanzhou to participate in the painting association¡¯s collection, and then waited for an opportunity to take xie chengze away, but lu yanzhou did not take the bait.


    from the beginning to the end, lu yanzhou kept the live stream on, which made it even more difficult for him to start.


    the more xiao rong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he became more and more determined to win xie chengze.


    he likes xie chengze so much!


    what moved him at first was the look in xie chengze¡¯s eyes when painting, but now, xie chengze would look at lu yanzhou with that gaze.


    he wanted xie chengze to only look at him.


    unfortunately, there was only a fake beside him.


    xiao rong found xie chengran and once again forced xie chengran to learn how to paint like xie chengze.


    xie chengran couldn¡¯t learn, so he slapped xie chengran directly: ¡°if you don¡¯t learn, get out of here.¡±


    ¡°you hit me?¡± xie chengran was angry and wanted to hit xiao rong, but xiao rong grabbed his wrist and pushed him to the ground: ¡°xie chengran, i don¡¯t have the patience¡­i haven¡¯t dealt with you yet for lying to me!¡±


    ¡°you only know to blame me for lying to you! lu yanzhou can tell at a glance that i am different from xie chengze, why can¡¯t you tell?¡±


    xiao rong¡¯s face was livid, he slapped xie chengran again. xie chengran was not willing to back down, so the two struggled together.


    but even so, xie chengran didn¡¯t leave. he didn¡¯t want to and didn¡¯t dare to face the storm outside.


    after lu yanzhou returned from traveling with xie chengze, xie chengze¡­stopped drawing him!


    xie chengze began to paint some other paintings, which were not realistic and some were also strange, but just looking at them made people feel happy.


    his life was not beautiful, but his paintings were always very beautiful.


    lu yanzhou felt a little jealous: ¡°aze, why don¡¯t you draw me anymore?¡±


    xie chengze glanced at him, turned back and continued to paint. when he finished the painting, he wrote a name next to it ¨C lu yanzhou.


    ¡°aze, you should write your name on it.¡± lu yanzhou wrote the three characters ¡®xie chengze¡¯ for xie chengze.


    xie chengze is not interested and doesn¡¯t write it.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± it looks as if he painted this painting ¨C the signature is ¡®lu yanzhou¡¯.


    ¡°aze is getting more and more agile!¡±


    ¡°aze is doing this because lu yanzhou complained that he didn¡¯t draw him?¡±


    ¡°maybe aze just wants to add lu yanzhou to it.¡±


    ¡°will aze recover?¡±


    ¡°i used to worry that lu yanzhou would leave aze one day, but now i think they will be together for a lifetime!¡±


    ¡°i believe in love again!¡±


    ¡­


    in fact, lu yanzhou and xie chengze have actually never had any intimate actions.


    but just standing there, it felt like there was so much love between them.


    lu yanzhou is really nice to xie chengze, so what about xie chengze? he seems to have no response, but which of his paintings is not a response?


    now yu qinshan¡¯s studio is filled with ¡®lu yanzhou¡¯ pictures!


    sometimes when xie chengze is not painting, he will stand in front of a certain painting and stare at it for a long time.


    he spent more and more time looking at lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze is indeed slowly getting better.


    however, the response he gave was still very small. lu yanzhou often had to use a lot of patience to get a little response from him.


    but what lu yanzhou lacks most is patience.


    what¡¯s more¡­the merits are almost enough.


    he wonders what xie chengze will be like in this world after he recovers.


    will he be confused at the beginning?


    lu yanzhou was imagining xie chengze¡¯s good life after his recovery, and xie chengran suddenly broke the news online with his real name, saying that since he was released from prison, lu yanzhou had secretly kept him in a villa, and from time to time, he would come to see him at night and regarded him as xie chengze¡¯s substitute.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± what the hell is this!


    he and xie chengze share a room every night and he has slept on a folding bed for more than a year!


    the robot responsible for protecting xie chengze also videotaping him every night since he was not allowed to do anything out of the ordinary.


    xie chengran, this¡­framing him before wasn¡¯t enough, he now wants to find more problems?

 CH 196

    lu yanzhou cares about his own safety.


    since offending xiao rong, he has been in contact with the xiao¡¯s enemies, making it impossible for the xiao family to touch him.


    he has insisted on live streaming and selling paintings, which has made himself more famous and more stable, for more than a year.


    xiao rong also made some small moves after he was released from prison. he knew about this and also knew that xie chengran had been with xiao rong recently.


    it¡¯s just¡­xiao rong has been struggling for so long, and he finally uses such a childish thing to deal with him?


    lu yanzhou felt that xiao rong was acting like a child, but xiao rong didn¡¯t think so.


    first of all, this kind of affair is the most difficult to clarify. xie chengran bit lu yanzhou to death, saying that they have something to do with each other. even if lu yanzhou didn¡¯t admit it, others would still suspect it.


    second¡­xiao rong asked xie chengran to do this in order to elicit another incident.


    xiao rong felt that since lu yanzhou and xie chengze had been together for so long, it was impossible for him to have such a pure relationship with xie chengze.


    even if xie chengze has a nanny robot protecting him¡­it¡¯s not like the robot can do everything!


    anyway, if he were like lu yanzhou and got xie chengze, it would be impossible for him not to be intimate with xie chengze.


    if it weren¡¯t for the sweetness, how could lu yanzhou have been so patient with xie chengze for more than a year?


    he had inquired about it. lu yanzhou had been living in the same room with xie chengze when they went out to play before.


    they stay in the same room, how can they do nothing?


    and if this matter is found out¡­xie chengze¡¯s guardian will definitely be changed.


    after xie chengran cried and complained online and posted a few photos he took of certain marks on his body. some people actually believed him: ¡°i didn¡¯t expect lu yanzhou to be such a person!¡±


    ¡°isn¡¯t this too much?¡±


    ¡°you really only know the appearance but not the heart!¡±


    ¡°will lu yanzhou do anything to xie chengze?¡±


    ¡­


    of course, most people don¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°you said lu yanzhou came to find you. where is the evidence? just a few photos?¡±


    ¡°since you can break the news on starnet, you shouldn¡¯t have been imprisoned and be unable to give out any evidence, right?¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s a hype, right? lu yanzhou has been live streaming for 12 hours a day, does he still have time to play roughly with you?¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou felt helpless when he saw the situation online.


    he knew that xie chengran, or perhaps xiao rong, probably had some tricks up his sleeve. he was too lazy to show off any tactic, so he directly replied on his starnet: ¡°although it is said that whoever advocates has to provide evidence, it is very annoying to be misunderstood¡­xie chengran, let me ask you, how can i imprison you when i accompany my aze every day?¡±


    under this post, lu yanzhou attached a screenshot of the chat in which xie chengran sent him a message and was blocked by him after, as well as some very long video exported from the nanny robot.


    the video was shot from 10pm to 6am every night. the content is particularly boring. it shows lu yanzhou lying on a folding bed singing a lullaby and coaxing xie chengze to sleep, and then they went to sleep.


    as soon as lu yanzhou posted these videos, he noticed that in his live stream room, people began to guide others to think about what he might do to xie chengze.


    ¡°lu yanzhou just wants to make money from xie chengze by live streaming, right?¡±


    ¡°isn¡¯t lu yanzhou breaking the law and committing a crime by hyping up his love with an autistic patient?¡±


    ¡°some people actually say that they have a beautiful love¡­where no one can see, who knows what lu yanzhou actually did to xie chengze!¡±


    ¡­


    this is obviously a navy hired by someone, but unfortunately his speed is one step faster than the navy.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s fans who were paying attention to this incident were speechless: ¡°navy, you are a step too late.¡±


    ¡°please go and watch the video posted by lu yanzhou first.¡±


    ¡°click on it and fast forward. just watching a little bit, i truly sympathize with lu yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°my zhouzhou accompanies my aze every night, and disaster comes from the sky, so tragic!¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou has been really honest for more than a year, and has been sleeping on the folding bed obediently, which makes people love and admire him.


    only a few people are still struggling: ¡°no matter what¡­it¡¯s still wrong for lu yanzhou and xie chengze to sleep in the same room, right?¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s just a room. in our school dormitory, you also have to sleep in a room with others!¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s right! and lu yanzhou said that xie chengze was insecure, so he just accompanied him.¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou did nothing from beginning to end. some people shouldn¡¯t think of him with such dirty thoughts!¡±


    ¡­


    after lu yanzhou finished posting the video, he called the police and then continued to accompany xie chengze.


    xiao rong and xie chengran: ¡°¡­¡±


    they were sure that lu yanzhou and xie chengze had done something, so they made such a fuss.


    as a result, as soon as they took action, lu yanzhou cleared himself completely?


    ¡°this is impossible!¡± xiao rong looked at the video lu yanzhou posted in disbelief.


    for more than a year, lu yanzhou has kept a distance from xie chengze?


    he didn¡¯t even go to see someone else?!


    ¡°what¡¯s impossible? you think everyone is like you!¡± xie chengran sneered.


    ¡°shut up!¡± said xiao rong.


    ¡°i won¡¯t. xiao rong, you still think of yourself as a love saint! haha, if you had been kinder and looked after xie chengze more when you saw him being bullied by my parents, you wouldn¡¯t have ended up like this!¡± said xie chengran.


    his parents really weren¡¯t kind to xie chengze. when xiao rong came to their house at that time, he often saw xie chengze being locked up by them.


    if xiao rong had helped xie chengze and had contact with xie chengze, he might have discovered that those paintings were painted by xie chengze!


    but from beginning to end, xiao rong remained indifferent.


    xiao rong was furious and attacked xie chengran again.


    then the police suddenly came.


    xie chengran shouted without thinking: ¡°help! he is going to kill me!¡±


    lu yanzhou later found out that xiao rong went in again because xie chengran said that he had been kidnapped and beaten by him.


    although xiao rong made mistakes before, the xiao family felt that he was deceived by xie chengran, so they did not give up on him.


    but after he came out, he still didn¡¯t stop and continued to make trouble. naturally, the xiao family couldn¡¯t stand it, so they gave up on him completely.


    these have nothing to do with lu yanzhou. at this moment, he is happy about one thing ¨C he has finally accumulated enough merit.


    when he had accumulated enough merit, xie chengze was painting, and it was him again.


    that was him who had just washed his face. there were still water droplets on his face, the corner of his lips were raised in a smile.


    while painting, xie chengze suddenly stopped.


    he stared at the painting in front of him, feeling that the fog that had been surrounding him dissipated, and many thoughts came to his mind at once.


    when he was a child, his parents were disgusted and indifferent to him, and xie chengran also bullied him.


    after growing up and being oppressed by his parents, xie chengran only watched with cold eyes.


    however, those were actually far away, so he didn¡¯t feel deeply about them. what he remembered most clearly was lu yanzhou¡¯s company for more than a year.


    that day, he was locked in a room, cold and hungry, not knowing what he could do.


    then the door opened.


    he was very scared at the time, afraid that he would be beaten, but he saw a person.


    he had seen this person in the teaching videos that xie chengran occasionally showed him.


    just watching the video, he didn¡¯t have many thoughts, but seeing the real person¡­this person was like a beam of light that shone into his heart.


    he suddenly wanted to draw this person, so he went to draw it.


    after that, his life completely changed.


    living in a different place actually made him very uncomfortable, but with this person beside him, he felt at ease.


    he only had this person in his heart, so when he was painting, he didn¡¯t want to paint anything else except this person.


    this person didn¡¯t force him to draw anything, so he just concentrated on painting this person, painting and painting¡­


    he really really liked this person.


    xie chengze looked at the painting in front of him and continued to paint.


    he knew this person¡¯s name was lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou is too good, right? how could there be such a good person in this world?


    xie chengze¡¯s eyes shone brighter and brighter.


    ¡°i want to kiss aze everyday.¡±


    ¡°i am different. i want to be aze and be taken care of by lu yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°the way lu yanzhou looks at xie chengze is so heart-warming!¡±


    ¡­


    people watching the live stream looked at what was in front of them. seeing the scene, they couldn¡¯t help but smile like an aunt.


    at this time, someone suddenly said: ¡°you even think of kissing xie chengze? lu yanzhou can¡¯t even kiss him.¡±


    as soon as these words came out, everyone felt a little sad.


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze look very sweet, but these two people couldn¡¯t even have their first kiss, right?


    just as they were thinking this, they suddenly saw xie chengze stop painting and kiss the painting in front of him.


    people watching the live broadcast: ¡°wait a minute, what did i see?¡±


    ¡°xie chengze kissed the painting he painted?¡±


    ¡°i was saying just now that he kept his first kiss, but in the blink of an eye, his first kiss was gone?¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou was also a little dumbfounded.


    after he cured xie chengze, he had been waiting for xie chengze¡¯s reaction and wanted to know what xie chengze would do after he recovered.


    then¡­xie chengze kissed a painting?


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± does his aze love painting more than him?


    after xie chengze kissed the painting, he felt a little dissatisfied.


    various emotions surged through him.


    lu yanzhou liked him, so he rescued him and always took care of him and treated him so well.


    and he also likes lu yanzhou very very much.


    xie chengze, who had just kissed the painting, suddenly turned his head and looked at lu yanzhou.


    there was paint on his lips and his eyes were particularly bright. then he suddenly hugged lu yanzhou and kissed lu yanzhou before lu yanzhou could react.


    everyone watching the live broadcast was shocked: ¡°ahhhh!¡±


    ¡°in my lifetime!¡±


    ¡°i never thought i could see them kissing!¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s really not easy!¡±


    ¡­


    everyone was excited but the nanny robot quickly pulled xie chengze away with a red light flashed on its body: ¡°warning! warning! no intimacy!¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°???¡± his lips have just touched lu yanzhou, he didn¡¯t feel anything yet!


    lu yanzhou also had paint on his lips. looking at xie chengze¡¯s innocent and dazed look, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± he always felt that lu yanzhou was laughing at him!


    but¡­lu yanzhou is so good-looking!


    this time, it was xie chengze who took the initiative, so the robot just gave a warning and quickly put xie chengze down.


    as a result, as soon as xie chengze was put down, he rushed towards lu yanzhou and kissed lu yanzhou again.


    lu yanzhou looks so beautiful when he smiles, he wants to kiss him!


    the red light was turned on again, the robot issued a ¡®warning¡¯, and once again pulled xie chengze off lu yanzhou.


    people watching the live broadcast: ¡°what happened to aze?¡±


    ¡°did he suddenly awaken the soul of a kisser?¡±


    ¡°this scene is really¡­sad and funny at the same time.¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know what the people watching the live stream were thinking. little did he know that all his actions were on live.


    he simply thinks¡­the robot is too bad!


    xie chengze looked at the robot blocking him angrily and struggled.


    ¡°aze, please don¡¯t do this, we can¡¯t be too close¡­¡± lu yanzhou quickly explained since xie chengze had always been ignorant before, so he¡¯s afraid he didn¡¯t understand many things.


    lu yanzhou was talking to him¡­xie chengze stopped struggling and blinked his eyes at lu yanzhou.


    seeing that xie chengze was motionless, the robot put xie chengze down again.


    ¡°aze, how are you feeling? are you feeling uncomfortable?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze felt itchy in his heart. he couldn¡¯t help it. he hugged lu yanzhou who was leaning in front of him and kissed him again.


    wasn¡¯t it just a warning from the robot? even after being warned, he still wanted to kiss!


    just like how he loved painting, now he loves kissing.


    kissing him again, xie chengze felt happy, and then¡­the robot didn¡¯t allow lu yanzhou to get close to him and the police also came to the door.


    three warnings were issued in one day, so the police needed to come to check on the situation.


    people watching the live broadcast: ¡°lmao!¡±


    ¡°is this considered a blessing or a disaster for lu yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°why is aze so enthusiastic all of a sudden?¡±


    ¡°the enthusiastic aze is even cuter!¡±


    ¡­


    the policeman looked at lu yanzhou seriously: ¡°mr. lu, you should know about mr. xie¡¯s situation. you can¡¯t have any intimate behavior with him. you can¡¯t do things like kissing again¡­¡±


    ¡°you¡¯re bad!¡± xie chengze suddenly shouted.


    police: ¡°¡­¡±


    xie chengze continued: ¡°i want to kiss! others can kiss, i want to kiss too!¡±


    xie chengze is not very good at talking, but he remembers that he has seen others kiss!


    why can others kiss but he can¡¯t?


    the policeman looked at xie chengze in shock. xie chengze suddenly opened his mouth towards the policeman and made a threatening gesture of biting.


    well, it¡¯s the way animals like lions and tigers open their mouths to threaten.


    but when xie chengze did it¡­it had no deterrent effect, but he was quite cute.


    lu yanzhou covered his face and laughed again.


    he shouldn¡¯t laugh, but he can¡¯t help it.


    at this time, the police finally realized something: ¡°mr. xie seems to be getting better¡­i will find a doctor to evaluate his condition.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou¡¯s laugh still did not stop.


    the doctor performed a detailed examination on xie chengze and said that xie chengze had not fully recovered, but he was getting better.


    ¡°aze, you¡¯re getting better, are you happy?¡± lu yanzhou asked xie chengze.


    xie chengze¡¯s face was expressionless: ¡°i can¡¯t kiss you, i¡¯m not happy.¡±


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t stop smiling: ¡°when you get better, you can kiss me. you can kiss me as much as you want.¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: ¡°lie down and i will kiss you slowly!¡±


    the doctor and yu qinshan¡¯s movement froze.


    what kind of tiger and wolf words is this? is this something they can listen to?


    lu yanzhou agreed: ¡°okay.¡±


    xie chengze asked at this time: ¡°do you want to kiss me?¡±


    ¡°yes, of course i want to kiss you too.¡±


    ¡°i¡¯ll lie down, and you¡­kiss me slowly too!¡± xie chengze said with a serious look on his face.


    lu yanzhou: what kind of cuties is this!


    xie chengze is recovering!


    everyone watching the live broadcast is aware of this.


    that day, xie chengze kissed lu yanzhou three times and summoned the police. after that, lu yanzhou stopped live streaming. but the next day, during breakfast, lu yanzhou started live streaming again.


    then they sighed when they saw xie chengze taking a bite of the steamed buns.


    ¡°aze, what¡¯s wrong?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze slowed down and looked at lu yanzhou pitifully: ¡°i want to kiss you.¡±


    people watching the live broadcast were going crazy: ¡°kiss him! ahhhhh!¡±


    ¡°who can refuse such a sweetie?¡±


    ¡°if you¡¯re a man, then do it! even if the police come to your door, you still have to kiss!¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou said, ¡°then you should study hard. you can kiss me once you¡¯ve learned enough.¡±


    xie chengze nodded with tears in his eyes. when he got upstairs, he kissed the painting he painted of him before.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± this is outrageous!


    he really didn¡¯t expect that one day, he would have to watch xie chengze kiss something else!


    what¡¯s even more outrageous is that after the kiss, xie chengze took out a piece of paper and drew two people kissing with a pencil.


    xie chengze really wanted to kiss lu yanzhou.


    in the past, all his emotions were suppressed, even if there were countless emotions rolling in his heart, he could not express them.


    but now, the shell that enveloped him was broken.


    he has so much love, it all comes flooding back to him.


    he wanted to shout, to run.


    he even wanted to kiss lu yanzhou and hug lu yanzhou.


    he didn¡¯t want to be separated from lu yanzhou for a moment.


    if xie chengze had received a normal education, he would not have done this even if he thought this way, but with his previous living condition, he had not received any education at all.


    over the past year or so, lu yanzhou had said a lot to him, but he couldn¡¯t tell him these things.


    xie chengze now expresses all his love without hiding anything.


    for example, when eating, if he sees lu yanzhou taking a bite of something, he will come over to eat it too.


    when drinking water, lu yanzhou took a sip, then he followed suit.


    from time to time, he would say some shocking words: ¡°lu yanzhou, i want to see your body.¡±


    lu yanzhou was a little overwhelmed.


    people watching the live broadcast are getting more excited every day.


    ¡°ah! is this something i can watch for free?¡±


    ¡°i have always felt sad for lu yanzhou before, but now i feel sad for myself.¡±


    ¡°i am single, why do i want to watch this?¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou! satisfy him ahhhhhh!¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou was helpless: ¡°i think i should turn off the live stream.¡±


    no! never turn off the live stream! everyone disagrees!


    lu yanzhou finally turned off the live stream, and then taught xie chengze various things.


    his aze is so cute, he won¡¯t let others see it!


    xie chengze learns things really quickly.


    he is a miracle. he grows up quickly but he always says things that are completely contrary to his appearance, and drools over lu yanzhou every day.


    the doctor would come to test him every week to assess his mental age. after confirming that xie chengze¡¯s mental age was in his teens, he asked lu yanzhou to show some adult enlightenment movies for xie chengze.


    this is a film that explains relevant knowledge to teenagers of this era. basically everyone has watched it.


    but now¡­show it to xie chengze?


    lu yanzhou always felt that if xie chengze saw this¡­he might say something more terrifying.


    as expected.


    xie chengze was very serious when he was watching it. when he finished watching it, his eyes turned green when he looked at lu yanzhou.


    he didn¡¯t know before that they could do this too!


    how could he only want a kiss before? they could totally be closer!


    he wants to be lu yanzhou¡¯s closest person!


    but¡­for this to happen, he needs to become an ¡®adult¡¯ first.


    xie chengze now knew why the robot prevented him from being too intimate with lu yanzhou. he studied harder and harder, and finally, his mental age was assessed as an adult.


    today, the police came to take away the nanny robot.


    ¡°take it away quickly!¡± xie chengze couldn¡¯t wait to get rid of his nanny robot.


    ¡°¡­¡± the police who came, ¡°wait a minute, we have some more routine inquiries.¡±


    ¡°what?¡± xie chengze asked.


    the policeman asked: ¡°mr. xie, did your feelings for mr. lu arise independently? is there any situation where he manipulates you?¡±


    xie chengze asked: ¡°in my previous situation, could anyone manipulate me?¡±


    that¡¯s right¡­xie chengze ignored people before¡­


    ¡°i fell in love with him at first sight, but i was incapacitated at the time, a bit stupid, and didn¡¯t understand anything. if i had been normal at that time, i would have captured lu yanzhou long ago.¡± xie chengze looked serious.


    policeman: ¡°¡­¡± we can¡¯t continue this conversation¡­


    after finally sending the policeman away, xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou and felt that he was really suppressed.


    he couldn¡¯t speak for so many years, but he was able to speak recently. however, there is a robot blocking him, preventing him from getting close to lu yanzhou.


    now, he is finally free!


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou and couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°lu yanzhou, i really love you so much!¡±


    lu yanzhou kissed him: ¡°me too, i also really love you.¡±


    yu qinshan left silently.


    he had been worried about his grandson before, but now it seems that he no longer needs to worry about his grandson.


    on the contrary, it was him who should feel sorry.


    the lonely old man is tired of seeing these two people every day and he also feels bitter!


    the next day, when lu yanzhou and xie chengze didn¡¯t go out for breakfast, yu qinshan felt even more bitter.


    thus, when lu yanzhou came out to get breakfast, yu qinshan hummed twice and said, ¡°now that aze is well¡­remember to apply for marriage with him.¡±


    ¡°grandpa, we already applied for marriage last night, and it was approved just now.¡± lu yanzhou left with a plate in hand, ¡°grandpa, i¡¯m going to deliver food to aze.¡±


    once the food was delivered, lu yanzhou didn¡¯t came out again.


    yu qinshan could only wander around, then go find his friends to play.


    in the room, lu yanzhou and xie chengze were having breakfast.


    some time ago, xie chengze was like a balloon inflated by surging emotions. because he couldn¡¯t get in touch with lu yanzhou, he was about to explode.


    but after being intimate with lu yanzhou, the air in the balloon was released, so he finally calmed down, and then¡­became a little shy.


    however, he still hugged lu yanzhou tightly, not wanting to let go.


    he didn¡¯t care about his parents or his younger brother. the only and biggest light in his life was lu yanzhou.


    when xie chengze was full, he looked at lu yanzhou with a blushing face: ¡°i still want to kiss you¡­now there are no robots, so i can kiss you as i want!¡±


    lu yanzhou laughed and lay down obediently: ¡°kiss as you want.¡±


    xie chengze felt very happy.


    various ideas popped up in his mind, making him want to paint them one by one.


    but he couldn¡¯t bear to get up¡­let¡¯s paint it later!

 CH 197

    although xie chengze has recovered, his life experience is still different from others.


    this made him particularly enthusiastic after he could get as close to lu yanzhou as he wanted without the robot blocking him.


    in the first few days, he didn¡¯t even want to leave the bedroom. he just wanted to hug lu yanzhou and keep talking about his straightforward love. even if he went out a few days later¡­


    during breakfast, since xie chengze liked lu yanzhou, he fed the bun in front of him to lu yanzhou. after lu yanzhou took a bite, he happily ate the rest of the bun.


    ¡°what are you doing?¡± lu yanzhou pinched xie chengze¡¯s cheek funnily.


    ¡°steamed buns like this are delicious!¡± xie chengze smiled sweetly.


    ¡°okay,¡± lu yanzhou also took a bun and handed it to xie chengze¡¯s mouth. he waited for xie chengze to take a bite and then ate the rest of the bun. ¡°it¡¯s more delicious to eat buns like this.¡±


    yu qinshan: ¡°¡­¡± he felt full after just a few bites!


    when it was time to paint, xie chengze stayed by lu yanzhou¡¯s side and no longer wanted to paint.


    he didn¡¯t know how to get close to lu yanzhou before, so he kept painting lu yanzhou. now¡­


    now he still wants to paint, but he doesn¡¯t want to leave lu yanzhou.


    ¡°you don¡¯t want to paint today?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    ¡°i want to.¡± xie chengze said seriously. he still can¡¯t tell lies.


    ¡°want to paint, but don¡¯t want to leave me?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze nodded seriously.


    ¡°i¡¯ll hold you, so let¡¯s paint together. you draw me and i draw you.¡± lu yanzhou kissed him.


    ¡°mm!¡± xie chengze nodded with satisfaction.


    after learning that xie chengze had completely recovered, yu qinshan¡¯s friends came specially to congratulate him: ¡°¡­¡± they couldn¡¯t even look at them!


    they really should be grateful to the nanny robot¡¯s existence before. it has stopped these two sticky young people from hurting their aging souls.


    in the evening¡­not mentioning anything else, xie chengze just wanted to hang on lu yanzhou.


    in this era, applying for marriage is very simple. all the two of them need to do is apply on the terminal together. however, it will take a month after the application is approved before the marriage is officially considered.


    during this period, either party can renege.


    of course, lu yanzhou and xie chengze would not go back on their word, so they officially became husband and wife just one month later.


    it was also that day that lu yanzhou finally started live streaming again.


    xie chengze is not used to using contact terminals. he is not interested in various things on the internet, but he already knows what a live streaming is and knows that many people will come to see him.


    he naturally became reserved, ate breakfast with perfect etiquette, and concentrated on painting. he occasionally chatted with lu yanzhou about painting, so there was no trace that he had ever been an autistic patient.


    ¡°i heard that xie chengze has recovered?¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s a miracle!¡±


    ¡°this is definitely because heaven feels sorry for them.¡±


    ¡°congratulations!¡±


    ¡°happy wedding!


    ¡­


    netizens congratulated xie chengze and lu yanzhou at first, but then¡­


    ¡°hey, where is my little cutie?¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is so serious now!¡±


    ¡°please say something very tiger and wolf-like!¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know what the netizens said. he held the easel and painted for a while. then, he finally couldn¡¯t help but come to lu yanzhou, covered up, and hooked lu yanzhou¡¯s pinky with his pinky.


    after hooking it, he didn¡¯t feel satisfied, so he held one of lu yanzhou¡¯s hands.


    it wasn¡¯t known if it¡¯s because no one hugged and kissed him before, but now he especially likes to have skin contact with people.


    well, these people only specifically refer to lu yanzhou, he doesn¡¯t want other people to touch him.


    lu yanzhou smiled and looked at xie chengze.


    xie chengze coughed lightly: ¡°what are you looking at me for? we¡¯re married, we can¡¯t hold hands?¡±


    lu yanzhou laughed and held his hand tightly: ¡°of course we can hold.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s perfect, it¡¯s perfect!¡±


    ¡°woooo. mom is so happy, the little beauty aze is no longer just talking about it!¡±


    ¡°my aze also took the initiative, that¡¯s great!¡±


    ¡°bless your marriage for a hundred years!¡±


    ¡­


    there are many people paying attention to lu yanzhou and xie chengze. now that they see xie chengze recover, they are all extremely happy and send their blessings.


    of course, some people were furious after seeing such results.


    xie chengran claimed to have been coerced by xiao rong and was spared from jail, but since he knew nothing, his life was naturally not good.


    now that xie chengze has recovered and is being lovingly with lu yanzhou, it¡¯s no wonder he doesn¡¯t feel uncomfortable after seeing it!


    father and mother xie, who were still in prison, knew about this and were filled with regret. if they had treated xie chengze properly, would xie chengze have recovered?


    if that were the case, they would have a great painter son!


    even if they were not so kind to xie chengze when they were children and did not cure xie chengze¡­as long as they treat xie chengze well after discovering xie chengze¡¯s talent, as xie chengze¡¯s parents, they will definitely still enjoy spicy food.


    xiao rong is also one of those who regrets it.


    xie chengze can actually recover! the recovered xie chengze is also so attractive!


    if he had not turned a blind eye to xie chengze¡¯s experience, even if he just bought a robot for xie chengran to use, he might have learned the truth.


    why didn¡¯t he do anything?


    now that the xiao family has given up on him, it will be even harder for him to get in touch with xie chengze than to reach heaven.


    xie chengze, who has recovered, probably still hates him¡­


    starnet was busy for a long time, but the popularity has also slowly subsided.


    after getting married, lu yanzhou rarely did live streams anymore. when he did live, it was just a live of him and xie chengze painting.


    he used to live to accumulate merit, but now he is not so eager for merit, so he naturally doesn¡¯t need to live stream all the time.


    this way xie chengze can feel more at ease, and he can also get close to xie chengze.


    the world is safe, and the lives of lu yanzhou and xie chengze are stable and beautiful.


    time flies in the blink of an eye, and several years have passed.


    lu yanzhou feels that something is wrong with xie chengze recently.


    these days, xie chengze paints all day long and doesn¡¯t stick to him anymore. he talks very little!


    no, this is no longer a matter of not sticking to him, xie chengze doesn¡¯t even pay much attention to him!


    lu yanzhou met the art dealer he had cooperated with for many years, and gave the painting he had painted some time ago to him, asking him to help sell it. after finishing his work, he went upstairs and saw xie chengze painting again.


    after xie chengze recovered, the emotion he injected into his paintings was stronger than before, and his painting skills also improved.


    however, when he was painting, he was no longer as focused as before.


    at least, when lu yanzhou came, he would definitely raise his head, smile at lu yanzhou, and then continue painting.


    but now, xie chengze didn¡¯t even glance at lu yanzhou from the corner of his eye.


    ¡°aze, i¡¯m back.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze said nothing and continued to concentrate on painting.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± although xie chengze painted him, xie chengze didn¡¯t care about him and focused entirely on the painting, what does this mean?


    ¡°aze.¡± lu yanzhou walked up to xie chengze and kissed xie chengze¡¯s face.


    xie chengze¡¯s body moved imperceptibly, but he still concentrated on painting.


    something is definitely wrong for xie chengze to act like this! lu yanzhou, who had been ignored for several days, couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and pretended to be pitiful: ¡°aze, do you dislike me? why are you ignoring me?¡±


    xie chengze finally turned around: ¡°no!¡±


    ¡°then what¡¯s going on with you these days?¡± lu yanzhou pinched his cheeks, distorted his face, and kissed him again: ¡°you¡¯re dissatisfied with me?¡±


    ¡°no!¡± xie chengze added: ¡°it¡¯s obviously you who are dissatisfied with me!¡±


    ¡°how am i dissatisfied with you? you can¡¯t accuse me unjustly!¡± lu yanzhou felt a bit aggrieved.


    xie chengze hummed: ¡°you liked the previous me. you liked the way i concentrated on painting at that time. i am different now. you definitely don¡¯t like me!¡±


    when xie chengze first recovered, he didn¡¯t think about anything but getting close to lu yanzhou, and he didn¡¯t even use a contact terminal at that time.


    but as time goes by¡­he now spends a lot of time reading news on starnet every day.


    what he likes to read most is of course the information about him and lu yanzhou on the starnet, such as the previous live stream recording when lu yanzhou took care of him.


    lu yanzhou really loves him! he was so stupid back then, but lu yanzhou was still so kind to him!


    at first, xie chengze was filled with happiness.


    but then he saw some comments, saying that lu yanzhou might have always liked the xie chengze who was isolated from the world and only knew how to paint, rather than the lively xie chengze now¡­


    xie chengze¡¯s heart is getting more and more sour, so now his words taste like lemon: ¡°lu yanzhou, do you like the old me more?¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± so is this also possible? being jealous of himself?


    lu yanzhou wanted to laugh, but xie chengze was so angry¡­lu yanzhou held back his laughter and asked xie chengze, ¡°aze, if one day i had an accident and was in a vegetative state, would you still love me?¡±


    ¡°of course!¡± xie chengze did not hesitate.


    ¡°if i hurt my brain and my personality changes drastically, will you still love me?¡± lu yanzhou continued to ask.


    ¡°i love you forever!¡± xie chengze is serious. no matter what lu yanzhou becomes, he will always love lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°isn¡¯t that enough? no matter what you look like, i will always love you. i loved you when you were sick before, and now that you have recovered, i love you too.¡±


    ¡°then what do you like most about me??¡± xie chengze asked.


    lu yanzhou did not hesitate: ¡°i like everything about you. of course, if you kiss me, i will like you even more.¡±


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou and kissed him.


    he also feels uncomfortable not being able to get as close to lu yanzhou as he wants these days!


    as for being jealous¡­forget it, he still won¡¯t eat it. when he is jealous, he himself feels uncomfortable.


    and it seems silly to be jealous of himself?


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou and acted coquettishly: ¡°i don¡¯t want to paint anymore. i spend too much time painting these days that my hands are sore.¡±


    ¡°then what do you want to do?¡± lu yanzhou asked with a smile.


    xie chengze said: ¡°go back to the room and kiss you! don¡¯t you like me kissing you?¡±


    lu yanzhou picked him up and left.


    this kind of good thing cannot be let go!


    t/n: next is wealthy old man¡­. (*¨R¨Œ¨Q)

 CH 198

    lu yanzhou was always painting when he was young, but as he got older, he had less time to paint and began to learn other things.


    in this world, he is much older than xie chengze, but he has always been with xie chengze. it was not until xie chengze¡¯s death that he left with xie chengze¡¯s soul and entered the next world.


    this is a modern world.


    lu yanzhou was staying in a small but clean room. when he got up from the ground, he found that he smelled of alcohol and was stink to heaven.


    his current state is somewhat similar to the state he was in when he first woke up in the last world. however, the original owner¡¯s poor state in the previous world was due to his career, while the original owner¡¯s poor state in this world¡­was due to a broken heart.


    this time, lu yanzhou didn¡¯t become a scumbag, but rather a first-class infatuated man, the ultimate dog-licker.


    it¡¯s just¡­it wasn¡¯t xie chengze who he was licking.


    the original owner of lu yanzhou¡¯s body was born in a very miserable family.


    his parents were both gamblers and hung out in casinos all day long. later, they owed a large sum of money, so they abandoned the original owner and ran away together.


    the original owner could only live with his grandma, but the original owner¡¯s grandma didn¡¯t like the original owner, so it didn¡¯t change much. when the original owner was twelve years old, the original owner¡¯s grandma fell ill and passed away.


    the original owner entered the orphanage and met the person he loved deeply who was two years younger than him.


    the man¡¯s name was jiang mi, nicknamed mimi. he was sent to the orphanage after his parents died in a car accident and lived in the same room as the original owner.


    jiang mi was frail, thin and pitiful. the original owner took good care of him out of sympathy in the beginning, but taking care of him¡­the original owner fell in love with him.


    however, the original owner felt that it was not right to like men, and he didn¡¯t want to bring jiang mi down, so he didn¡¯t show anything and only focused on taking care of jiang mi.


    life in the orphanage is pretty good. they have enough food and clothing, and they can go to school normally.


    however, if they want to live like those children who have both parents and are loved by their parents, that is obviously impossible.


    for example, they have very little pocket money and few snacks.


    the original owner had lived a hard life since he was a child, so he wasn¡¯t really greedy for these things. however, although jiang mi¡¯s parents did not leave him any inheritance, they loved jiang mi very much when they were alive. jiang mi had never lacked anything before, so from time to time, he will want this and want that.


    at first, the original owner just pity jiang mi so he used his own pocket money to buy various snacks for jiang mi. but after he fell in love with jiang mi, he couldn¡¯t wait to give all the good things to jiang mi.


    when the original owner was in high school, his grades were neither good nor bad.


    he was actually very smart. although he had already started working during the summer and doing various part-time jobs, his grades were not bad.


    if he hadn¡¯t fallen in love with jiang mi, he would have been admitted to an ordinary university, then relied on the tuition-free policy for poor students and student loans to finish college, he could then find a good job in the future.


    the original owner could endure hardships and is also smart, so he wouldn¡¯t do anything bad.


    but the original owner fell in love with jiang mi.


    the original owner had nothing since he was a child and no one loved him, so he took the person he loved very seriously.


    he wanted jiang mi to live a carefree life, so he gritted his teeth and decided not to go to college after graduating from high school.


    the original owner, who graduated from high school, found a sales job, served tea and water to his seniors, then smiled at all kinds of clients¡­after a few years, the original owner actually mixed pretty well. by the time jiang mi went to college, the original owner was only 20 years old but he was already able to earn 200,000 yuan a year.


    after getting rich, the original owner wanted to give jiang mi all the things he thought were good.


    some parents had a hard time when they were young, so after having children, they will spoil their children without limit.


    the original owner was similar to these parents. he had nothing, so he wanted to give jiang mi everything he could.


    in addition, in the sales circle he works in, everyone is willing to spend money to decorate their appearance, so he spends money lavishly, always spending as much as he can.


    other college students wear sneakers that cost two or three thousand? of course jiang mi needs to have it too!


    other college students¡¯ watches cost thousands? of course jiang mi must have one too!


    a computer costs more than 10,000 yuan, a mobile phone costs 6,000 to 7,000 yuan, and his clothes and shoes should not be inferior either¡­


    jiang mi is an orphan, but in school, his life is better than some children from middle-class families. he had plenty of money and was very carefree.


    jiang mi¡¯s classmates all know that jiang mi has an older brother who is rich and loves him. who knows how much they envy jiang mi, so they naturally think that jiang mi¡¯s family is well off.


    when jiang mi was a senior in college, the 24-year-old original owner was already earning three to four hundred thousand a year through sales, but he didn¡¯t have much savings ¡ª most of his money was spent on jiang mi.


    then¡­he learned that jiang mi was in love.


    jiang mi went to a large company for an internship and accidentally met the young and promising president of the company. after going back and forth, he fell in love with the president.


    after confirming their relationship, jiang mi immediately told the original owner about the incident. the original owner was furious after learning about it, but gritted his teeth and blessed jiang mi.


    he feels that jiang mi deserves the best, and he also feels that he is not worthy of jiang mi.


    in order to prevent jiang mi from being embarrassed in front of the president, the original owner continued to send money to jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± he knew why the original owner was like this. he was simply a person who lacked love and valued relationships too much.


    but most people really can¡¯t be as ¡®selfless¡¯ as the original owner.


    and this is just the beginning.


    the living environments of jiang mi and the president are very different. they always have conflicts and quarrels, and every time they quarrel, jiang mi will cry and come to the original owner for comfort.


    the original owner¡­of course he comforted jiang mi well and accompanied jiang mi.


    when the relationship between jiang mi and the president was getting better and better, the original owner once invited a client to dinner, and saw the president intimately holding a woman to the meal. the original owner¡¯s client also told the original owner that the woman was the president¡¯s fianc¨¦e.


    the original owner was very angry and told jiang mi about it. jiang mi had a big quarrel with the president, broke up, and moved to live with the original owner.


    the original owner comforted jiang mi and helped jiang mi get over the pain of broken heart, thinking that he might have a chance to be with jiang mi, but the president came again, pursued jiang mi, and chased jiang mi back.


    besides that, the president also hated the original owner and had someone set up a trap for the original owner. as a result, the original owner made some mistakes at work and had to pay a large sum of money and was fired from the company.


    the original owner didn¡¯t know that it was the president¡¯s manipulation. the original owner, who loves face, didn¡¯t want to tell jiang mi about it and took it all on himself. however, he couldn¡¯t help but go to jiang mi to get some support from jiang mi.


    as long as jiang mi is willing to talk to him and have a meal with him, he will be satisfied and have the motivation to face everything next.


    but when he went to find jiang mi, he not only saw jiang mi making out with the president, but he was also insulted by the president¡¯s eccentric anger.


    the president even told jiang mi that if jiang mi continued to hang out with people like the original owner, his parents would not accept jiang mi.


    the original owner had several conflicts and even fights with the president because of jiang mi. although the original owner was angry at being looked down on by the president, he could tolerate it.


    what the original owner couldn¡¯t bear was that jiang mi didn¡¯t help him at all and seemed to want to draw a clear line with him.


    at this time, the president also revealed that the original owner owed a large sum of money and had lost his job, saying that he was worthless. after hearing this, jiang mi believed it and stood by the president, urging the original owner to live a good life and not make borrow money indiscriminately¡­


    the original owner was deeply hit, and then¡­forgave jiang mi.


    ignoring that, when the original owner was looking for a job, he saw the president entangled with his fianc¨¦e again. he was worried about jiang mi and told jiang mi about it again.


    as a result, the president denied the incident, and also pointed out that the original owner liked jiang mi, saying that the original owner did this to destroy his relationship with jiang mi.


    jiang mi was shocked and looked at the original owner in disbelief, saying that he had always regarded the original owner as his brother and felt that the original owner should not have such thoughts about his younger brother¡­


    jiang mi even asked the original owner not to look for him.


    then the original owner bought a lot of wine and went home, getting himself drunk.


    after he passed out drunk, lu yanzhou came.


    looking at the wine bottles on the floor, lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what to say, because if he hadn¡¯t transmigrated, the original owner would have continued to lick jiang mi.


    after all, the original owner is the ultimate dog licker.


    the president is still entangled with his fianc¨¦e, but he doesn¡¯t like his fianc¨¦e.


    the president coaxed his fianc¨¦e into getting a lot of secrets about the company run by his fiancee¡¯s family, and then stole a lot of business from his fianc¨¦e¡¯s family¡¯s company.


    besides that, he was ruthless and tampered with the medicine that his fianc¨¦e¡¯s sick brother, the man in charge of his fianc¨¦e¡¯s company, usually used. after his fianc¨¦e¡¯s brother fell ill and was hospitalized, he annexed his fianc¨¦e¡¯s company.


    the president¡¯s fianc¨¦e loved the president deeply, but when her life ended up like this, she went crazy and kidnapped jiang mi.


    the original owner got the news and rushed to save jiang mi, but eventually died at the hands of the robbers.


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± the death of the original owner was really a great thing for that president!


    the love rival is gone, and through the death of the original owner, his fianc¨¦e can be sent to prison, and then he and jiang mi live happily together!


    what the hell is this!


    the original owner was really wronged!


    of course, there is another person who was also wronged, and that was xie chengze.


    xie chengze¡¯s identity in this world is the president¡¯s fianc¨¦e¡¯s brother.


    he was the unlucky guy who was put in the hospital by the president and the company went bankrupt.


    later, xie chengze¡¯s sister went crazy and kidnapped jiang mi, and even killed someone¡­he doesn¡¯t know what happened to xie chengze!


    and there¡¯s also xie chengze¡¯s body¡­


    the original owner is just an outsider after all, so he doesn¡¯t know how the president annexed the xie family¡¯s company, and he doesn¡¯t know how the president sent xie chengze to the hospital.


    he didn¡¯t even know what illness xie chengze had.


    thus, lu yanzhou naturally didn¡¯t know anything.


    however, these things will be clarified sooner or later. the first priority is to contact xie chengze to see if xie chengze¡¯s illness is serious.


    it¡¯s just that he is now an ordinary person who owes a lot of debt and has not read many books after graduating from high school. how can he get to know xie chengze, the boss of the company?


    go and wait in front of the company?


    this is a good idea¡­lu yanzhou entered the bathroom, planning to clean himself up first, and then go squat to wait for xie chengze.

 CH 199

    after lu yanzhou took a shower, he looked at himself in the mirror.


    jiang mi started to entangle with the president in his senior year, so it has been two full years now.


    jiang mi is now twenty-four years old and the original owner is twenty-six years old.


    26 is not young, but the original owner is very particular about taking care of himself. the person in the mirror has sword eyebrows, bright eyes, and smooth skin. he looks like he is in his early twenties at most, like a young college student.


    as for why the original owner pays attention to his appearance¡­


    the original owner entered society as a salesperson at the age of eighteen. he didn¡¯t know anything at the beginning. he was able to sell things only because of his handsome appearance and sweet mouth.


    this face can be used to make money, so he naturally takes care of it.


    in addition, jiang mi is a beauty addict¡­for jiang mi, the original owner was very concerned about his body and appearance. other salesmen around him smoked and drank, but he didn¡¯t do it and insisted on exercising.


    he looks much more handsome than when he first awakened in the previous world, so xie chengze should like him?


    the original owner has been living alone these years. the house he lives in now is also rented, but in order to facilitate the sales, he has a few outfits.


    lu yanzhou found one, put it on, then took the subway to the area near xie chengze¡¯s company. by the way, he sorted out the information related to xie chengze in the original owner¡¯s memory.


    jiang mi and his president get together and break up a lot, and the original owner is also involved too, but after all, the original owner was still a small figure.


    he has never spoken to xie chengze, and only met him once from a distance when he accompanied jiang mi to find his president.


    fortunately, because of xie chengze¡¯s sister xie ruanxin, the original owner inquired about the xie family.


    xie ruanxin is only twenty-two years old this year, two years younger than jiang mi, and is the daughter of the xie family. xie chengze is sixteen years older than xie ruanxin, and is already thirty-eight years old.


    it has been ten years since xie chengze took over the xie family¡¯s company and has developed the xie family¡¯s company prosperously.


    unfortunately, he was in poor health, so he never got married and rarely appeared in front of others.


    he wonders what kind of illness xie chengze has in this world.


    if jiang mi¡¯s boyfriend uses commercial means to compete fairly with xie chengze, and the xie family loses in the end, then lu yanzhou won¡¯t say anything.


    however, this person is a scumbag. he not only coaxed xie ruanxin into telling him the xie¡¯s company¡¯s secrets, but also tempered with xie chengze¡¯s medicine, causing xie chengze to go to the hospital¡­


    this is no longer a business competition, this is breaking the law!


    lu yanzhou¡¯s impression of jiang mi and his boyfriend were extremely bad.


    even he felt that this girl, xie ruanxin, was disgusting.


    xie ruanxin was young and was deceived into having a relationship by a scumbag. this made people sympathize with her, but later on, she actually knew about jiang mi¡¯s existence and also caused trouble for jiang mi several times.


    for this reason, the original owner even went to xie ruanxin to ask for an explanation. xie ruanxin only visited high-end places so the original owner could not find her.


    as a result, everyone knew about the scumbag¡¯s cheating, then xie ruanxin stole her company¡¯s secrets and gave it to the scumbag.


    there is also the kidnapping that killed the original owner. at that time, xie ruanxin made up her mind to kill jiang mi, wanting the scumbag to regret it for the rest of his life¡­ordinary people would not be able to do such a thing!


    xie chengze was quite unlucky to have such a love-minded sister.


    xie has an office building.


    lu yanzhou is very poor now, with only a few hundred yuan in his card. he did not go into the high-end coffee shop next to xie¡¯s office building. instead, he sat on the flower bed near xie¡¯s front door and stared at xie company while playing on the mobile phone.


    lu yanzhou is getting familiar with the world and trying to find ways to make money.


    the original owner was carrying a debt of 800,000 yuan!


    this debt is not much for the rich, and for the original owner who had a job before, he can pay it off in two or three years with a little savings.


    however, the original owner is unemployed now. because of jiang mi¡¯s boyfriend, he repeatedly encountered obstacles in finding a job.


    if he wants to make money now¡­lu yanzhou plans to write a few small programs and sell them.


    in order to avoid being ostracized by the small world, without collecting enough merit, he could not make too much noise or let people around him doubt him.


    for example, the original owner doesn¡¯t know how to paint at all. if he directly sells paintings to make money, he may run into trouble.


    but programming¡­the original owner learned it before.


    in fact, the original owner has always been very regretful about the fact that he didn¡¯t go to college. in addition, jiang mi, a college student, had disliked and unintentionally said that he had low academic qualifications¡­


    the original owner later secretly learned adult education, first from an associate, and then to a bachelor¡¯s degree, during which he studied programming, which is very popular.


    the original owner was very busy and was not very good at studying, but lu yanzhou had a lot of knowledge in this area and could use this to make money.


    the problem is who to sell it to¡­this requires finding a way.


    lu yanzhou was multitasking, looking at xie¡¯s front door from time to time.


    unfortunately, he didn¡¯t see xie chengze.


    a black business car drove from a distance, turned a corner, and entered xie¡¯s underground garage.


    lu yanzhou seemed to feel something and looked up, but because the car was covered with privacy film, he couldn¡¯t see the people in the car at all. he could only lower his head and continue to read the forum posts on his mobile phone.


    in the business car, xie chengze stared blankly out of the car window.


    he didn¡¯t come back to his senses until the car drove into the underground garage.


    the car stopped in xie chengze¡¯s exclusive parking space. xie chengze got up from the airline seat, opened the door and got out of the car.


    his two assistants quickly followed, and one of them was carrying a small box.


    it was a portable cooler.


    when xie chengze was very young, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, which was very serious. even now, his pancreatic islet function is lost.


    when he goes out, he always carries insulin.


    but even though he was very concerned about his body¡­ever since he passed the age of thirty, he began to feel that he was unable to do what he wanted. his health became worse and worse, and some complications also appeared.


    xie chengze entered the elevator and asked casually, ¡°do you know the man sitting at the door of the building?¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s two assistants didn¡¯t react for a moment, they were stunned. one of them asked: ¡°president xie, which one are you talking about?¡±


    seeing the confused faces of the two people, xie chengze said: ¡°it¡¯s nothing. i just saw a young man sitting at the door.¡±


    xie chengze also saw the young man accidentally. after seeing him¡­he couldn¡¯t describe his feelings.


    he almost asked the driver to stop so he could look at him a few more times.


    thinking of this, xie chengze felt a little helpless.


    he had always felt that he had no desires, but just now, he was seduced by beauty.


    the young man sitting on the flower bed in front of his company playing with his mobile phone is really good-looking.


    he wonders if he will have a chance to see him again in the future.


    thinking that he might never see this person again in the future, xie chengze even had the urge to go back and look for this person.


    but he didn¡¯t do that. instead, he went upstairs and worked in his office.


    if he was still young, he might go up and ask for his contact information, but although the young man was wearing a suit, he looked like he was in his twenties.


    what about him? he is almost forty.


    xie chengze stood up unexpectedly, went to the lounge next door and looked in the mirror.


    in the mirror, there were already fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and there were white hairs in his hair.


    his health is also not good and his face looks unhealthy.


    smiling at himself in the mirror, xie chengze sat down at his desk again.


    after handling company affairs for a while, one of xie chengze¡¯s assistants hurried in: ¡°president xie, the young lady is here.¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s wrong with her?¡± xie chengze rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.


    the young lady the assistant mentioned was his sister xie ruanxin.


    his sister was the daughter of his father and his stepmother. she had been doted on since she was a child. after his father passed away seven years ago, his stepmother spoiled her daughter even more, so she got used to her bad habits.


    originally, although this sister had many problems, she couldn¡¯t hinder xie chengze.


    but since she returned to the country with a degree from a foreign university and clamored to join the company, xie chengze has been in constant trouble.


    when he was young, he concealed his identity and entered the company, but xie ruanxin was different. she revealed her identity as soon as she entered the company.


    for this reason, no one in the company dared to offend xie ruanxin, but she still kept arguing with her colleagues, and then yelled that she wanted to make them look good and fire them.


    this is simply treating the company like a child¡¯s play.


    ¡°the young lady is clamoring to be your secretary¡­¡± before the assistant could finish speaking, xie ruanxin had already opened the door and walked in: ¡°brother! what do you mean by this? send me to a messy department and sit on the bench? before my father died he asked you to take good care of me, what about you? i wanted to see you but someone stopped me!¡±


    xie chengze looked at xie ruanxin indifferently and asked directly: ¡°do you want to be a secretary?¡±


    xie ruanxin said: ¡°yes!¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°go find secretary zhang and ask her to guide you.¡±


    when xie ruanxin was about to join the company, xie chengze asked her what she knew, it turned out that she knew nothing, not even excel.


    xie chengze could only find a casual job and stuff her into it.


    as a result, xie ruanxin was never satisfied. she had several troubles and changed positions several times.


    now that she wants to be a secretary, let her be it. it also saves her from troubling others.


    ¡°brother, you won¡¯t teach me?¡± xie ruanxin was very dissatisfied.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i¡¯m not in good health and i don¡¯t have time.¡±


    xie ruanxin curled his lips, muttered a few words, and left dissatisfied.


    the assistant was helpless: ¡°president xie, do you really want the young lady to be your secretary?¡± what can this young lady do? she can¡¯t even figure out how to use a printer!


    in fact, it¡¯s not that she can¡¯t figure it out, she just doesn¡¯t want to learn.


    ¡°what about it?¡± xie chengze asked back. before his father passed away, he divided his shares equally between him and xie ruanxin. xie ruanxin held as many shares of xie corporate as he did.


    he was also very tired and too lazy to talk to her.


    after the others left, xie chengze took a deep breath, stood up and came to the window.


    due to his illness, xie chengze¡¯s eyesight has declined a lot in the past few years, but when he lowered his head and saw the figure sitting by the flower bed¡­


    he was inexplicably certain that that person was the young man he saw when he came to the company.


    he thought that this person was passing by accidentally and sat on the flower bed to rest when he was tired. he did not expect that this person actually sat on the edge of the flower bed for so long.


    what happened to him? still waiting for someone? wait, are they from the company?


    xie chengze stood by the window for a long time before returning to his seat. after thinking about it, he asked his assistant to buy him a telescope.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t get the telescope until he got off work.


    however, when his car drove out of the underground garage, xie chengze said, ¡®drive slower.¡¯


    xie chengze¡¯s driver always drove slowly and steadily, but now that xie chengze said this, he drove even slower.


    xie chengze went out and saw the young man still sitting by the flower bed. he no longer played with his mobile phone and was staring at xie¡¯s door. when his car drove by, the man also stared at his car for a while.


    xie chengze knew that this person couldn¡¯t see him, but he could see his appearance clearly.


    his heart beat faster, and a strange but beautiful emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.


    there seemed to be a flower blooming in his heart, a flower that exuded a sweet scent and was bright and dazzling.


    20 years ago, when he was eighteen years old, he had never fallen in love at first sight with young girls like the people around him.


    now that he is thirty-eight years old, he has fallen in love with a young man whom he has only seen twice.


    xie chengze¡¯s mood was indescribably complicated. after sighing secretly, he did nothing.


    lu yanzhou was still sitting by the flower bed at the door.


    in fact, he didn¡¯t sit here all the time today. he went to chat with xie¡¯s security guard too.


    he was good at socializing and got to know other security guards, but he didn¡¯t find out more about it ¡ª they wouldn¡¯t tell him what kind of car xie chengze usually drove.


    the phone was almost out of battery¡­lu yanzhou finally got up and left, returning to his residence.


    the original owner made a lot of money in the past few years. there is no shortage of everything at home, including two computers.


    one belonged to the original owner, and the other was discarded by jiang mi after using it for several years.


    lu yanzhou opened the original owner¡¯s computer and started writing small programs that could be sold for money.


    he plans to sell a few simple ones first, and then sell complex ones when he finds a way.


    as for xie chengze¡­he plans to wait there again tomorrow.


    he didn¡¯t expect to be able to find xie chengze on his own. after all, when xie chengze came in and out, he most likely took a car.


    but after xie chengze sees him, maybe he will come to him?


    it won¡¯t take long for jiang mi¡¯s boyfriend to steal the secrets of xie chengze¡¯s company, and then tamper with xie chengze¡¯s medicine¡­lu yanzhou is anxious to get to know xie chengze and stop all this.


    it¡¯s a pity that the original owner used to be in sales, so his job was to help the factory sell various products. although he knew many customers, they couldn¡¯t get to know a big shot like xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou went to squat at xie company¡¯s door early the next morning.


    when xie chengze came to work, he saw the young man who made his heart beat again.


    he had been sick since he was a child. he was always in poor health, sp he had few friends. when he grew up, he was busy with work and had no one close to him.


    not to mention the relationship aspect, he has never liked anyone in his whole life.


    but now, he wants to get close to someone.


    he didn¡¯t expect to develop any relationship with that person, he just wanted to get to know that person.


    at noon, xie chengze put down the telescope in his hand and finally made up his mind.


    he didn¡¯t allow his assistant to follow him downstairs and walked out of xie company.


    as soon as xie chengze went out, he caught the eye of the young man sitting on the flower bed. when the young man saw him, he immediately got up and walked towards him.


    xie chengze suddenly realized that this man knew him.


    is this person here to wait for him?


    many thoughts flashed through xie chengze¡¯s mind, and then when the man approached him, he fell forward.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t expect that he only waited at xie company for a day and a half before he saw xie chengze.


    when he saw xie chengze, he was very surprised, but then he was extremely worried.


    the xie chengze of this world doesn¡¯t seem to be in good condition!


    lu yanzhou knew that xie chengze in this world was older, but he was only thirty-eight years old. for a person like him who had lived for who knows how many years, thirty-eight years was nothing.


    moreover, in those previous worlds, when xie chengze was in his forties, he was actually very handsome and did not look that old.


    but the xie chengze in this world¡­


    the original owner met xie chengze once a year ago. at that time, xie chengze seemed to be in good condition, but now xie chengze¡­


    he has gray hair on his temples and fine lines on the corners of his eyes.


    his body¡­come to think of it, he¡¯s really in bad shape!


    just as lu yanzhou was thinking this, xie chengze fell towards him.


    lu yanzhou hugged him quickly: ¡°mr. xie, mr. xie, are you okay?¡±


    when xie chengze closed his eyes and pretended to faint, a thought came to his mind ¡ª this person should be here to find him!


    xie chengze suddenly fainted. lu yanzhou did not dare to delay. he quickly picked up xie chengze and found a taxi to take xie chengze to a nearby hospital.


    fortunately, xie chengze woke up when he arrived at the hospital.


    ¡°mr. xie, how are you feeling? are you okay?¡± lu yanzhou asked while hugging xie chengze.


    xie chengze in this world is very thin. he is not short, he¡¯s nearly 1.8 meters tall, but he weighs at most 120 catties(~158.7 lb).


    ¡°i¡¯m fine. it¡¯s just an old problem. thank you.¡± xie chengze chuckled and asked, ¡°do you know me?¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, i¡¯ve met you before,¡± lu yanzhou didn¡¯t hide it, ¡°i was waiting at the door for you.¡±


    ¡°what do you want from me?¡± xie chengze was a little surprised. he had no impression of this person at all. what did this person want from him?


    ¡°i know something and want to tell you, mr. xie.¡± lu yanzhou looked at the people coming and going around him and did not continue.


    xie chengze did not ask further questions and changed the subject: ¡°i usually take care of my health at a nearby hospital. please send me there.¡±


    xie chengze has been receiving treatment at a nearby private hospital, so he gave the address of that hospital to lu yanzhou .


    lu yanzhou immediately sent the pale xie chengze to that hospital because xie chengze had already called in advance. as soon as they arrived, a doctor came to greet them: ¡°mr. xie, what¡¯s happened?¡±


    xie chengze smiled weakly. ¡°i suddenly fainted just now.¡±


    ¡°i¡¯ll get you checked out right away!¡± the doctor said. after saying that, someone pushed xie chengze into the hospital.


    seeing this, lu yanzhou quickly followed in and couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°mr. xie, are you not in good health? what illness is it?¡±


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou: ¡°it¡¯s diabetes, it¡¯s reflectively severe.¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t need to think about it, he knew it must be serious.


    xie chengze¡¯s symptoms were all present at birth. if it was congenital diabetes¡­then xie chengze had to inject insulin since he was young?


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but feel sad just thinking about it.


    the doctor prepared a ward for xie chengze, drew blood and left. xie chengze told the nurse that he wanted to talk to lu yanzhou alone, and the nurse also left.


    xie chengze smiled gently at lu yanzhou: ¡°young man, what do you want to say to me?¡±


    lu yanzhou was called brother, lu lang, and many other titles by xie chengze, but he was not called ¡®young man¡¯ by xie chengze before.


    he was a little uncomfortable with it.


    but lu yanzhou still said: ¡°mr. xie, my name is lu yanzhou. i¡¯m looking for you because i learned something¡­president tan, tan shoujun, wants to take action against xie.¡±


    the president who entangled jiang mi is named tan shaojun.


    xie chengze was stunned when he heard this.


    in fact, tan shaojun was malicious to xie, and xie chengze had known it for a long time.


    he had reminded his sister before not to get entangled with tan shaojun.


    but his stepmother wanted to marry his sister to tan shaojun, and his sister also had a soft spot for tan shaojun. he advised them to stay away from tan shaojun, but they didn¡¯t take it seriously at all, and thought he was the one who couldn¡¯t tolerate his sister.


    in this case, he stopped persuading.


    however, he didn¡¯t expect that the person he couldn¡¯t help but feel moved after seeing it came to him to talk about this matter.


    lu yanzhou added: ¡°mr. xie, it¡¯s like this. i have a friend who is in love with tan shaojun. they always have conflicts and break up but they always get back together too. i helped my friend stand up for himself and accidentally offended tan shaojun. tan shaojun designed to frame me and made me lose my job. i am very disgusted with tan shaojun, then i overheard him saying that he wanted to get xie¡¯s secrets through your sister, so i just wanted to tell you.¡±


    the matter of tampering with medicine is not here yet, so lu yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything about it right now.


    lu yanzhou has been checking the information of the xie family and the tan family in the past two days. he found that the xie family controlled by xie chengze was much larger than the tan family and had a good operating condition. he did not understand how the xie family was finally swallowed by the tan family.


    is it because xie chengze is ill?


    no matter what, the xie family belongs to xie chengze, and lu yanzhou wants to help xie chengze keep the company.


    xie chengze observed lu yanzhou and felt that what lu yanzhou said should be the truth.


    this is indeed what tan shaojun would do.


    but letting his sister steal secrets¡­this must be overthinking, his sister doesn¡¯t have this ability.


    however, it¡¯s hard to say for others.


    xie chengze smiled and said, ¡°little lu, thank you for telling me this.¡±


    ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± lu yanzhou wasn¡¯t comfortable with the name ¡®little lu¡¯ either.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou, but the more he looked at him, the more he liked him: ¡°little lu, you said you have no job? do you want me to help you find a job?¡±


    lu yanzhou agreed without thinking: ¡°okay! thank you mr. xie!¡±


    if xie chengze wants to arrange a job for him, he should let him enter the xie company. if he can enter xie company, he can get close to xie chengze.


    well, even if he doesn¡¯t join xie company, he will still stick to xie chengze.


    xie chengze said: ¡°little lu, if you hadn¡¯t sent me to the hospital today, i don¡¯t know what would have happened¡­you don¡¯t have to call me mr. xie so unfamiliarly¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes lit up, could he call him ¡®aze¡¯?


    xie chengze, with a kind look, said: ¡°i¡¯m much older than you, you can call me uncle.¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± what?!

 CH 200

    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t believe what he heard.


    xie chengze actually asked him to call him ¡®uncle¡¯?


    doesn¡¯t the xie chengze of this world like him? otherwise, how could he make him call him uncle?


    you know, although xie chengze is older than him, he is only twelve years older. this age difference is nothing at all!


    meeting xie chengze¡¯s amiable gaze, lu yanzhou felt uncomfortable. he smiled dryly and said, ¡°mr. xie, you are not much older than me. i¡¯d better not call you uncle.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°how am i only a few years older than you? i¡¯m almost forty, so i should be a lot older than you.¡±


    xie chengze had to admit that he really liked lu yanzhou.


    looking at lu yanzhou at this moment, he felt that his whole heart was filled with sweetness.


    just being close to this person makes him feel happy.


    but he doesn¡¯t plan to fall in love with lu yanzhou.


    he is quite old and in poor health, he doesn¡¯t know how many years he will live¡­he is already like this, why bother a young man?


    previously, he pretended to faint when approaching lu yanzhou because he wanted to get in touch with lu yanzhou. from now on¡­he would be satisfied if he could become lu yanzhou¡¯s trusted elder.


    lu yanzhou yelled: ¡°i¡¯m almost thirty, we are ten years apart at most.¡±


    xie chengze burst out laughing when he heard this. there are older people who wish others would think they are still young.


    however, there are also some young people who like to pretend to be mature¡­lu yanzhou should be like this.


    ¡°brother xie!¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°i¡¯ll call you brother xie!¡±


    xie chengze agreed: ¡°that¡¯s okay.¡±


    xie chengze and lu yanzhou started chatting. lu yanzhou took advantage of the situation and explained the original owner¡¯s experience to him.


    he said that he was an orphan and had a good friend jiang mi whom he had met in the orphanage. jiang mi fell in love with tan shaojun two years ago.


    ¡°jiang mi knew about your sister¡¯s existence a few months ago, so he broke up with tan shaojun and lived with me. then tan shaojun started resenting me. he found someone to pretend to be my client and created a flaw. he signed a contract with me, but in the end he tore up the contract and gave up the goods, causing me to owe millions in debt.¡± lu yanzhou sighed.


    the original owner was miserable. after being cheated, he had no place to redress his grievances.


    after all, the other party¡¯s behavior cannot be regarded as fraud. the person didn¡¯t swindle money from the original owner and the original owner¡¯s boss, and had even lost the deposit instead ¡ª the person did not want the goods after ordering them.


    but that batch of goods was customized according to that person¡¯s requirements, so other people didn¡¯t want it at all!


    all in all, the original owner caused millions of losses to the boss, so it was normal for him to lose his job and be in debt.


    at this time, the original owner did not know that tan shaojun did it, but lu yanzhou knew, so he did not hide anything in front of xie chengze.


    however, the original owner liked jiang mi, so he didn¡¯t say anything about being a dog-licker for jiang mi.


    speaking of which, the original owner never confessed to jiang mi that he liked jiang mi¡­so, where is the evidence?


    no one can produce evidence!


    ¡°this is indeed something tan shaojun will do.¡± said xie chengze.


    tan shaojun¡¯s father is an unscrupulous person, and so is tan shaojun.


    ¡°brother xie, tan shaojun is not a good person. please tell your sister to stop getting entangled with him.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    xie chengze sighed: ¡°she didn¡¯t listen to me.¡±


    even though xie ruanxin kept making trouble, and would come to see him from time to time, which made her seem very close to her brother. however, the truth is, xie ruanxin and his stepmother are very wary of him.


    ¡°then be careful with her.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze said: ¡°okay.¡±


    lu yanzhou chatted with xie chengze for a long time, so they talked about his academic qualifications and other things he knew: ¡°i have studied programming, i am very good at it. there are also sales, which is a job i have done for several years¡­¡±


    xie chengze listened to lu yanzhou carefully and asked, ¡°do you want to be a salesperson or a programmer?¡±


    ¡°i want to do something related to programming.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    xie chengze said: ¡°xie¡¯s business is divided into many departments, including the one that handles the internet. there¡¯s also a department responsible for software development, but it is not easy to get into.¡±


    ¡°brother xie, give me a chance to try.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    in fact, the job that lu yanzhou wanted to do most was to be an assistant to xie chengze and accompany him every day.


    however, it would be inconvenient for him to follow xie chengze all day long. second¡­it would be quite troublesome if he met tan shaojun or jiang mi.


    even if he could deny it, he didn¡¯t want xie chengze to know all the stupid things the original owner had done for jiang mi.


    moreover¡­with his status as xie chengze¡¯s assistant, who knows what others will think about xie chengze.


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze agreed, planning to let lu yanzhou go to the sales department if he couldn¡¯t get into the software development department.


    ¡°brother xie, i have one more thing i want to ask you for help with,¡± lu yanzhou added at this moment.


    xie chengze asked: ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    lu yanzhou looked embarrassed: ¡°i owe a lot of money and can¡¯t pay the rent now¡­brother xie, does the company have dormitories?¡±


    seeing lu yanzhou looking at him helplessly, xie chengze felt in his heart thumping: ¡°the company doesn¡¯t have a dormitory, but i have a vacant room at my house. you can stay with me.¡±


    after xie chengze finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.


    he and lu yanzhou just met today, and he already invited lu yanzhou to stay at his house¡­this is really inappropriate.


    he¡¯s afraid that lu yanzhou would suspect him of having evil intentions!


    xie chengze was thinking about fixing it, planning to say that he didn¡¯t live at home very much, when he heard lu yanzhou said, ¡°okay! brother xie, i can help with housework and pay you rent.¡±


    xie chengze was stunned.


    however, lu yanzhou had already asked xie chengze what he wanted to eat, and planned to buy food for xie chengze.


    xie chengze came to his senses and said, ¡°the hospital will send food.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good!¡± lu yanzhou smiled and chatted with xie chengze again.


    xie chengze liked the young man in front of him. he deliberately tried to please him and was very accommodating when he spoke.


    lu yanzhou can talk about anything, and he also knows what xie chengze likes.


    the two chatted happily, and the more they talked, the more they felt like they were in love.


    lu yanzhou was very satisfied with this situation. although xie chengze asked him to call him ¡®uncle¡¯, this did not affect him courting xie chengze.


    he believes that as long as he works harder, it won¡¯t be long before xie chengze calls him ¡®brother¡¯ (ge)!


    xie chengze was a little sad.


    i was born but you were not, you were born when i became old.


    if he could be ten years younger now, even if his health was not good, he would still pursue lu yanzhou.


    but he is already thirty-eight.


    his physical condition is very poor, and the doctor also said that his life span will be much shorter than ordinary people.


    putting aside that lu yanzhou may not like men, even if lu yanzhou can accept men and accept him¡­does he want to let lu yanzhou see his old side after being with lu yanzhou?


    he was already satisfied if lu yanzhou could stay by his side.


    xie chengze was being observed in the hospital for several hours, then after making sure he was fine, he returned to the company.


    lu yanzhou did not follow him back, but exchanged contact information with him and agreed to report to xie¡¯s software research and development department tomorrow.


    watching xie chengze¡¯s car drive away, lu yanzhou was very happy ¡ª he got to know xie chengze so quickly, he was very satisfied with the progress!


    on the other side, xie chengze is also very satisfied with the progress.


    at first, he didn¡¯t know that lu yanzhou came to him specifically. thus, he went downstairs and pretended to faint just so he could ask lu yanzhou to help him. then he exchanged contact information with lu yanzhou, invited lu yanzhou to dinner, and gradually became lu yanzhou¡¯s good friend.


    now, not only will lu yanzhou work in his company, he will also live in his home¡­this is something he never dared to think about before.


    but he was happy.


    however, when he returned to the company and finally calmed down, xie chengze felt that something was wrong ¡ª was everything going too smoothly?


    after a chuckle, xie chengze felt that he was overthinking again.


    lu yanzhou is now desperate. he has no relatives, so it is normal for him to go to the doctor for a sudden illness and agree to all his requests.


    if he lives with lu yanzhou in the future and pays more attention to lu yanzhou, he might become lu yanzhou¡¯s most trusted elder.


    with this in mind, xie chengze immediately asked someone to decorate his residence.


    he has always been lonely and doesn¡¯t even have a guest room in his house.


    when xie chengze asked someone to decorate the guest room, lu yanzhou approached the landlord to cancel the lease.


    lu yanzhou is a very good tenant. he always pays the rent in advance and keeps the house very clean. the landlord is reluctant to let him leave and is even willing to lower the rent a little.


    lu yanzhou could only talk about the money he owed. after hearing about this, the landlord returned all the rent that lu yanzhou had paid in advance to lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou was also generous, saying that he would not take away some of the things the original owner had added.


    in order to take better care of jiang mi, the original owner added a lot of things to this rental house. the bed and mattress in the room where jiang mi lived were all high-end goods.


    these couldn¡¯t be sold for money, so lu yanzhou gave them to the landlord.


    as for other things¡­lu yanzhou called someone who was in the second-hand luxury goods business and asked them to come over. then he sold all jiang mi¡¯s stuff that could be sold.


    the original owner always wanted to give jiang mi the best things. most of the things he bought for jiang mi were not really luxuries. they could only be described as ¡®light luxuries¡¯, but they were also valuable. even jiang mi¡¯s old computer was packaged and sold for 30,000 yuan.


    of course, the actual purchase price of these things is at least 300,000 yuan.


    after throwing away the remaining worthless things, lu yanzhou packed up the original owner¡¯s belongings, packing two suitcases.


    after a good night¡¯s sleep, lu yanzhou went to xie company early the next morning.


    xie company.


    manager zhang from the software research and development department was very happy when he received a call from xie chengze saying that someone was coming to apply for a job.


    but when he heard that xie chengze asked him to bring more people to come and give the young people a chance¡­he felt a thump in his heart.


    president xie said this, he wants to place someone with connections into their r&d department!


    although manager zhang didn¡¯t like people with connections in the past, he didn¡¯t hate them either. just ignore those who entered the company through the back door that could be ignored.


    but in the past year, president xie¡¯s sister has been doing a lot of things in the company, so manager zhang is a little afraid of these people with connections.


    please don¡¯t let the person who comes here be someone who doesn¡¯t know how to work and loves to make trouble!


    he heard that president xie¡¯s sister obviously doesn¡¯t understand anything, but she still likes to intervene in everything and give order, always delaying other people¡¯s work.


    this time, although president xie said that he could reject this person if he really couldn¡¯t do it, what does ¡®really can¡¯t do it¡¯ mean? is it really okay for him to reject the person president xie introduce?


    manager zhang told several project managers below him about this matter.


    ¡°we¡¯ve been very busy here recently, so it would be nice to have someone here.¡± one of these people said.


    ¡°is he the technician hired by president xie? i want to test his skills!¡± said another person.


    manager zhang was about to tell these people that this person was here because of his connections and he might not have much ability, when lu yanzhou came.


    lu yanzhou was wearing an expensive suit that the original owner used to put on a wealthy facade.


    manager zhang looked at his clothing, his face, and his thick hair¡­he immediately felt that this person was not good.


    this is a man whose appearance is completely opposite to his capable programmers!


    seeing lu yanzhou like this, the project managers were also worried. after all, the person in front of them didn¡¯t look like a programmer at all.


    but since it was introduced by president xie, he must have real skills!


    without waiting for manager zhang to stop him, these people started asking lu yanzhou some questions.


    lu yanzhou easily solved the problems they raised.


    in his long life, he had learned a lot of computer technology.


    for him who had been in the interstellar, programming in this era is very simple.


    the several project managers became more and more interested in talking with lu yanzhou, and then they quickly brought up the problems they had recently encountered. lu yanzhou did not hesitate and quickly helped them solve the problem.


    manager zhang was stunned.


    president xie repeated over and over again, as if the person who was coming didn¡¯t understand anything, but in fact¡­


    this person was obviously very capable!


    no, this guy is a genius!


    no wonder he has thick hair. he is so smart. he can easily solve problems that others need to think hard to solve!


    he just says, president xie is not the kind of person who takes advantage of the company! president xie¡¯s sistermessing around in the company can¡¯t be blamed on president xie entirely ¡ª president xie¡¯s sister is a shareholder of the company. if she wants to come, no one can stop her!


    manager zhang happily accepted lu yanzhou, and then asked lu yanzhou for various information.


    lu yanzhou took out his somewhat unimpressive resume.


    manager zhang: ¡°¡­¡± what? from adult education?


    the man in front of him looked like he was from a wealthy family, but how could such a young master study adult education?


    no matter what, he should have a diploma from an unknown foreign university.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i am an orphan. i was anxious to make money, so i didn¡¯t go to college.¡±


    so that¡¯s it! if this is the case, then the person in front of him is not the young master he imagined, but the real deal!


    president xie said that¡­he may just be modest.


    manager zhang completely changed his view on lu yanzhou and even accompanied lu yanzhou to join the company.


    lu yanzhou followed manager zhang to learn about his work place, then sent messages to xie chengze from time to time.


    ¡°brother xie, your company is really big and impressive!¡±


    ¡°brother xie, everyone in your company is very nice to me!¡±


    ¡°brother xie, the salary is really high!¡±


    ¡­


    anyway, what happened during the whole process lu yanzhou told xie chengze everything.


    xie chengze originally wanted to ask manager zhang about lu yanzhou¡¯s situation, but seeing that everything went well with lu yanzhou, he stopped asking.


    he knew lu yanzhou¡¯s academic qualifications, but he didn¡¯t think lu yanzhou¡¯s ability could surpass the top students recruited from 985 by their company.


    now that manager zhang is willing to keep lu yanzhou and lu yanzhou is happy. this is the best result.


    ¡°if you run into trouble, you can come to me.¡± xie chengze replied.


    ¡°brother xie, i¡¯m running into some trouble right now¡­brother xie, i¡¯ve already vacated the house. when i get off work, can you help me move in with you?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze immediately replied ¡°okay¡±.


    lu yanzhou stood at the elevator entrance of xie company¡¯s underground garage, waiting for xie chengze to arrive.


    now in the company, so he smiled and called, ¡°president xie.¡±


    ¡°come with me.¡± xie chengze unconsciously smiled when he saw lu yanzhou.


    he really liked this young man and was very willing to take care of him.


    this is the person he likes, and he hopes he won¡¯t have to endure even a little bit of wind and rain.


    lu yanzhou followed xie chengze into his business car.


    he had seen this car before, it had driven slowly past him before.


    was xie chengze¡­in the car at that time?


    xie chengze came downstairs alone yesterday. did he come to see him?


    lu yanzhou felt that xie chengze might have come to talk with him yesterday. unfortunately, xie chengze was in poor health and fainted¡­


    ¡°how do you feel about the company today?¡± although they had already chatted on the phone before, xie chengze still asked.


    ¡°the company is very good and everyone takes good care of me.¡± lu yanzhou smiled.


    after chatting, xie chengze asked lu yanzhou some moving matters and asked lu yanzhou if he wanted to find a moving company.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes were bright: ¡°brother xie, actually i¡¯ve already packed everything up. i didn¡¯t really need help moving, i just wanted to talk to you.¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s heart thump when he heard this, he felt like he was being flirted with.


    it must be his misunderstanding. how could lu yanzhou flirt with an uncle like him when he can have constant girlfriends?


    as xie chengze thought this, he felt that what lu yanzhou said next was normal again.


    there was a driver in the car. he and xie chengze had just met, so lu yanzhou was still very restrained.


    he felt that he should reach a goal before confessing to be with xie chengze again.


    lu yanzhou had already packed his things. he carried two suitcases and went to xie chengze¡¯s residence.


    xie chengze lives not far from the company. his house is located in one of the most famous communities in the city. it is a large flat floor of more than 500 square meters.


    xie chengze showed lu yanzhou around,


    ¡°brother xie, your house is so big! i have never seen such a big living room! the two-bedroom and one-living house i rented before was not as big as the master bedroom you have here.¡± said lu yanzhou, a face full of admiration.


    he had lived in a big house before, but he had never seen such a big house in this world.


    when xie chengze heard what lu yanzhou said, he felt an strange sense of satisfaction in his heart. he couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°this place is not big. i also have a villa in the suburbs with an 800-square-meter garden¡­¡±


    xie chengze stopped mid-sentence, fearing that lu yanzhou would think he was showing off.


    he was also a little helpless. he was already very old, but he still showed off his assets to a young man like a peacock.


    but¡­xie chengze was vaguely looking forward to it. if lu yanzhou liked his money and was willing to be with him for money¡­


    although lu yanzhou was praising his house, his eyes were clear and not greedy at all¡­xie chengze sighed and gave this thought.


    the nanny had already prepared the meal, so xie chengze and lu yanzhou had dinner together.


    he had already told lu yanzhou about his illness¡­xie chengze injected himself with insulin in front of lu yanzhou.


    he always felt a little sad when doing this.


    what¡¯s his image in lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes? is he just an old and sick man?


    after dinner, xie chengze felt that he should let lu yanzhou unpack the room and give lu yanzhou some personal space.


    however, he didn¡¯t want to be separated from lu yanzhou, so he hesitated.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°brother xie, i like to take a walk after eating dinner. do you want to go downstairs with me for a walk?¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s physical condition means strenuous exercise is definitely not acceptable.


    but he had been sitting in the office all day and going for a walk would be good for his health.


    once again, his wish came true¡­xie chengze said: ¡°okay, i also have this habit.¡±


    the environment of this community is very good. the two of them walked around the community while chatting. the smile on the corner of xie chengze¡¯s mouth never left.


    chatting with lu yanzhou was really a pleasure.


    lu yanzhou turned his head to look at xie chengze. when he met xie chengze¡¯s gentle gaze, he felt so much love in his heart that he couldn¡¯t look away.


    ¡°xiao lu, why do you keep looking at me?¡± xie chengze felt a little uncomfortable when lu yanzhou looked at him.


    ¡°brother xie, you are the most handsome person i have ever seen!¡±


    ¡°i am so old¡­¡±


    ¡°brother xie, a man in his forties is a flower in bloom1meaning men are more mature and successful in their career when they are 40, you are the most charming now!¡±


    lu yanzhou is not lying.


    the xie chengze of this world doesn¡¯t look very healthy, but he doesn¡¯t feel greasy at all. he has a straight back and handsome appearance. he has a kind of precipitated nobility, steady and charming, he is full of tolerance when he looks at people.


    lu yanzhou believed that he could kill people of all ages with ¡®homo¡¯ sexuality.


    now, he even wanted to kiss chengze.


    there was an inexplicable ambiguity between the two. xie chengze even wanted to ask, ¡®do you think i¡¯m attractive?¡¯ but as soon as the word flew out, he changed his mind and said, ¡°xiao lu, you are really good at talking.¡±


    lu yanzhou said, ¡°i¡¯m just telling the truth.¡±


    xie chengze couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    his life had been bleak, but when he was with lu yanzhou and talked with him, he suddenly felt much younger.


    the two of them walked until after eight o¡¯clock before going back. after returning, xie chengze took a shower and stood in front of the mirror again to look at his appearance.


    he is a bit too thin, but he does look good. when he is not smiling, the lines at the end of his eyes are not obvious.


    lu yanzhou went to bed early that day and got up early the next day to steal the nanny¡¯s cooking job.


    then, when he finished cooking, he saw xie chengze coming out of the room.


    lu yanzhou was a little surprised to see xie chengze ¡ª xie chengze had dyed his hair.


    xie chengze looks a few years older in this world than he does in other worlds at the same age, but in fact, standing next to other thirty-eight-year-old men, he doesn¡¯t look old at all.


    the only problem may be that xie chengze in this world has gray hair a little early, so there are a lot of gray hairs mixed in with his black hair.


    now that xie chengze has dyed his hair black, he looks like he is only in his mid-30s.


    seeing lu yanzhou staring at his hair, xie chengze coughed lightly: ¡°i usually dye my hair.¡±

 CH 201

    xie chengze actually rarely dyes his hair.


    as the leader of the xie family, it¡¯s better for him to appear mature and stable than to appear young.


    however, he occasionally dye his own hair so he has some hair dye at home.


    now seeing the look in lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes, xie chengze decided to dye his hair every day from today on.


    ¡°brother xie, you are so handsome.¡± lu yanzhou praised.


    ¡°i¡¯m already old, how can i compare with you young people¡­¡±


    ¡°brother xie, don¡¯t always say you are old. you are obviously very young, only in your thirties.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    when xie chengze heard this, he smiled bitterly to himself.


    he is indeed not that old. the successful people he usually interacts with are still working hard in their forties.


    however, he was in poor health and his life had entered his twilight years.


    ¡°brother xie, i made breakfast, come and have some.¡± lu yanzhou greeted xie chengze.


    ¡°why not let the nanny do it?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°i want to make something for you to eat.¡± lu yanzhou looked at xie chengze intently.


    the nanny also said: ¡°mr. xie, mr. lu is very good at cooking. he gets up early in the morning just to cook for you.¡±


    xie chengze sat down at the dining table happily and noticed that he liked the breakfast on the table.


    he tasted it and found that the breakfast also tasted very good, even far better than the nanny, who he hired to cook.


    he didn¡¯t expect lu yanzhou to have such skills!


    ¡°xiao lu, you are very good at cooking. did you often cook before?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°yes.¡± said lu yanzhou. his skill was developed little by little in his long life.


    xie chengze¡¯s tastes are slightly different in each world, but he believes that the food he makes will definitely suit xie chengze¡¯s appetite.


    xie chengze praised a few more words, feeling a little sorry for lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou cooks food so well, he must have cooked it often before.


    is it because he has no parents and is an orphan?


    if lu yanzhou had parents, how could he not have money to go to college? if lu yanzhou had parents, why would he need to live under someone else¡¯s roof? if lu yanzhou had parents, how could he be proficient in cooking?


    ¡°brother xie, that¡¯s great if you like the food i cooked! brother xie, i prepared lunch for you. do you want to take it to the company to eat?¡± lu yanzhou asked, making an embarrassed look again: ¡°my cooking is average. if brother xie has already ordered a meal, forget it.¡±


    xie chengze did order a meal, but he smiled gently: ¡°i didn¡¯t order any meal, i usually just eat a casual meal at noon. it would be great if i could bring a meal.¡±


    lu yanzhou smiled and said, ¡°brother xie, i will do it for you every day from now on.¡±


    ¡°will it trouble you?¡±


    ¡°no trouble,¡± lu yanzhou said.


    the nanny listened to their conversation silently. mr. xie always had lunch specially prepared for him at a high-end restaurant. she had told lu yanzhou about this before when lu yanzhou was cooking.


    as a result, both of them now pretended not to know about it¡­


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze went to the company together.


    xie chengze went to the top floor, while he went to his department and officially joined the company, working with the project manager.


    an employee like him who comes to the company unexpectedly can easily be squeezed out by his colleagues, but if he has real skills, that¡¯s another matter.


    after lu yanzhou had been busy all morning, helping his colleagues finish the work that their colleagues had been unable to finish after working overtime for several days, the group of men with thinning hair looked at him with admiration in their eyes, which made his skin crawl.


    ignoring these people, lu yanzhou took out his portion of the box lunch and started eating, harassing xie chengze with his mobile phone while eating.


    ¡°brother lu, you brought a lunch box, i¡¯m so envious.¡± someone couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°bringing a lunch box makes people envious?¡± lu yanzhou really didn¡¯t know about this.


    ¡°if you cook this meal, it means that you go to bed early and get up early, live a healthy life, and have a good accommodation environment. if someone else cooks this meal for you, it means that you have a partner who loves you very much. there are still many single dogs here.¡± the man sighed.


    ¡°i see.¡±


    ¡°brother lu, so did you do it yourself, or did someone else do it for you?¡±


    lu yanzhou said vaguely, ¡°i don¡¯t live alone.¡±


    ¡°we knew that with brother lu appearance and talent, you will definitely have a girlfriend.¡± everyone looked at the sumptuous and tempting lunch that lu yanzhou had just heated, and envious drools flowed from the corners of their mouths.


    they all now feel that lu yanzhou is a boss that was poached by the higher ups, so they all treat lu yanzhou with respect. even if they are older than lu yanzhou, they all call him ¡®brother lu¡¯ sincerely.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°that¡¯s really not true. i have never had a girlfriend, the one in my family is a male.¡±


    everyone was shocked, but lu yanzhou¡¯s sexual orientation had nothing to do with them, so they all quickly accepted it, then said: ¡°a boss is indeed a boss, he is different.¡±


    lu yanzhou smiled and continued to send messages to xie chengze.


    he won¡¯t disturb xie chengze during working hours, but during rest time¡­he will take up all of xie chengze¡¯s time.


    ¡°brother lu, are you texting your boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°yes, i didn¡¯t have time to talk to him in the morning, so i¡¯m making up for it now,¡± said lu yanzhou.


    although his sexual orientation is different, everyone still envies lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s boyfriend should be a cute little guy who is good at cooking and clingy, right?


    xie chengze was also having lunch at this time.


    he has never had a good appetite and has never eaten on time, but today lu yanzhou specially prepared lunch for him, so he must finish it.


    he can talk with lu yanzhou while eating, which makes it even more satisfactory!


    xie chengze vaguely felt that lu yanzhou had a crush on him, and some of lu yanzhou¡¯s actions seemed like he is courting him.


    but he wasn¡¯t sure.


    he chatted with lu yanzhou all afternoon and made an appointment to go back together after getting off work¡­xie chengze asked his assistant to talk to manager zhang and asked him to stop asking his subordinate to work overtime.


    he remembers that the software development department was always working overtime.


    when assistant told manager zhang about this, manager zhang turned around and said to his subordinates: ¡°lu yanzhou was specially invited by mr. xie to save us from working overtime. everyone is not allowed to work overtime today. go back early!¡±


    no need to work overtime? this is really great!


    they looked at lu yanzhou emotionally, almost in tears.


    after the work was done, lu yanzhou secretly sent a message to xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± please don¡¯t look at him like that!


    dinner was cooked by the nanny. after eating, lu yanzhou went for a walk with xie chengze and chatted a lot about the company.


    lu yanzhou had managed the company and made some suggestions by the way, which surprised xie chengze ¡ª lu yanzhou knew more than he thought.


    this is a very talented young man with really good vision.


    in the following days, lu yanzhou cooked for xie chengze every day, cared about all aspects of xie chengze¡¯s life, flirted with xie chengze from time to time, and seriously implemented his courting plan.


    on the other side, jiang mi and tan shaojun quarreled again.


    a few days ago, tan shaojun revealed in front of jiang mi that lu yanzhou liked jiang mi.


    at that time, jiang mi swore that he regarded lu yanzhou as his brother and asked lu yanzhou to leave. however, when lu yanzhou left, he was in a daze. tan shaojun was jealous because of this, so he said that jiang mi was raising a spare tire by hanging lu yanzhou.


    jiang mi felt that tan shaojun had wronged him, so the two had a quarrel.


    whenever jiang mi encountered difficulties in the past, he would go to lu yanzhou to talk, but in this situation, he couldn¡¯t go to lu yanzhou so had to endure it.


    he felt that lu yanzhou would definitely take the initiative to find him, but lu yanzhou never contacted him¡­jiang mi couldn¡¯t control it anymore. today, he took a taxi to the place where lu yanzhou rented.


    he always forgets to bring his keys. to make it easier for him, lu yanzhou specially changed the fingerprint lock on the rental house to his.


    after arriving at the place, jiang mi wanted to open the door and go in, but he couldn¡¯t get in after trying his fingerprint and password.


    lu yanzhou is angry? he deleted his fingerprint information?


    or is the lock broken?


    jiang mi was a little panicked and could only send a message to lu yanzhou: ¡°brother lu, i came back to get my clothes, but the door can¡¯t be opened¡­¡±


    jiang mi came to lu yanzhou this time using the excuse of ¡®getting his clothes.¡¯


    lu yanzhou has rented this house for many years. when he was in college, he would live here during the holidays. most of his clothes and other things were stored here. he didn¡¯t have many things in the place where he and tan shaojun lived together.


    after the message was sent, jiang mi saw a red exclamation mark.


    lu yanzhou blocked him?


    jiang mi was really panicking now.


    when he called lu yanzhou, he couldn¡¯t get through. he asked to borrow someone¡¯s mobile phone to call lu yanzhou, but it also showed that it wasn¡¯t getting through¡­jiang mi had no choice but to wait at the door.


    he regarded lu yanzhou as his brother, but lu yanzhou actually had such feelings for him¡­he had been very unhappy in the past few days, waiting for lu yanzhou to apologize to him.


    this time he came to lu yanzhou with the excuse to get some clothes and give lu yanzhou a chance to step down.


    as a result, lu yanzhou blocked him and he couldn¡¯t even contact lu yanzhou.


    the more jiang mi waited, the more terrified he became. after waiting for some time, he saw a stranger open the door and enter the house, he went up and asked, ¡°who are you? how could you open the door?¡±


    the man who had just rented the house looked confused.


    jiang mi entangling the new tenant. it was only after getting a call from the landlord did he find out that lu yanzhou had quit the lease and moved out several days ago.


    ¡°he moved away? what about my things? where are the things i put here?!¡± jiang mi was dumbfounded.


    the tan family had always disagreed with the matter between him and tan shaojun, so the two had broken up and gotten back together several times. in order to show that he loved tan shaojun as a person and not tan shaojun¡¯s money, he was determined not to let tan shaojun spend money on him.


    the season is about to change now, but the clothes he has at tan shaojun¡¯s place are only for this season. if the clothes he left at lu yanzhou¡¯s place are gone, what will he wear next season?


    ¡°i remember that before xiao lu left, he threw away a lot of things.¡± the landlord said. at that time, lu yanzhou threw away a lot of clothes and shoes in large and small bags. there was an old lady in their community who went to sort through them.


    jiang mi: ¡°¡­¡± his clothes and shoes were all thrown away by lu yanzhou?


    is lu yanzhou so heartless?


    this is impossible!


    jiang mi went downstairs in despair, and then saw an old man in the community wearing a very familiar sportswear.


    that set of sportswear was from a niche fashion brand. it looked fashionable. it was definitely not something that an old man would buy, but he had bought it.


    the old man is wearing his clothes!


    jiang mi was disgusted and felt very wronged. after going home and holding it in for a few days, he finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and called everywhere to inquire about lu yanzhou.


    jiang mi was looking for him, lu yanzhou found out about it from the original owner¡¯s friends.


    lu yanzhou blocked jiang mi and changed his mobile phone number just to be on the safe side. however, his new mobile phone number was only shared with the original owner¡¯s few close friends.


    between the original owner and jiang mi, they would definitely choose the original owner.


    the person who told lu yanzhou about jiang mi was a friend of lu yanzhou and jiang mi who had known each other in the orphanage. his name was zhou hongxing: ¡°lu yanzhou, since you are sober, please stop talking to jiang mi. he is not worth your love.¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i won¡¯t talk to him anymore, and don¡¯t talk nonsense. i don¡¯t like him.¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou, are you still so stubborn now? if you don¡¯t like him, will you raise him as a young master?¡± zhou hongxing didn¡¯t believe lu yanzhou¡¯s words.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i really don¡¯t like him.¡±


    the original owner never told anyone that he liked jiang mi. he was afraid that it would bring trouble to jiang mi, and that jiang mi would be unhappy if he found out ¡ª he tested jiang mi before and jiang mi kept treating him as his brother.


    because of this, no one knew that the original owner liked jiang mi at first. for a straight man like zhou hongxing, he just felt that the original owner was a little too kind to jiang mi.


    but when jiang mi and tan shaojun got together, he guessed that the original owner liked jiang mi.


    after guessing, he felt that jiang mi wasn¡¯t worth the original owner¡¯s love.


    the original owner had helped jiang mi so much, the original owner even provided for jiang mi to go to college. however, as soon as he graduated, jiang mi climbed onto a high branch and left. this seemed a bit cruel to them.


    lu yanzhou also felt that jiang mi was cruel. the original owner¡¯s love for jiang mi was obvious. if jiang mi didn¡¯t like men, he might not have noticed, but jiang mi liked men.


    how could he not discover it!


    what¡¯s more, although the original owner didn¡¯t confess, he actually tested jiang mi¡­


    jiang mi made it clear that he was using the original owner as a spare tire.


    since he was just using the original owner as a spare tire, jiang mi still spent so much money from the original owner and didn¡¯t even think about paying it back.


    zhou hongxing only knew that the original owner spent money on jiang mi, but did not know how much the original owner spent, but lu yanzhou knew it very well.


    just jiang mi¡¯s spending¡­has surpassed that of some rich second-generation people!


    but now, lu yanzhou decided to deny the matter: ¡°old zhou, my feelings for jiang mi are not love.¡±


    ¡°what? do you really regard him as a younger brother? which brother is so good to his younger brother?¡± zhou hongxing didn¡¯t believe it.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i actually¡­regard him as my son.¡±


    zhou hongxing: ¡°¡­¡± what did lu yanzhou say? did he hear it correctly?!


    lu yanzhou said again: ¡°old zhou, i am also very capable. if i really like him, how could i not do anything for so many years? i really don¡¯t like him, i was just raising him like a son!¡±


    ¡°a son who is two years younger than you?¡±


    ¡°i am mentally older, can¡¯t i?¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou, do you still lack a son? one who has gone to college and can cook?¡± there¡¯s only ¡®fuck¡¯ on zhou hongxing mind right now.


    ¡°not lacking! i had raised a white-eyed wolf, i will never raise another child again!¡±


    ¡°lu yanzhou, is what you said real or fake? i won¡¯t laugh at you, you don¡¯t need to lie to me¡­¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s absolutely true! old zhou, i really raised him as my son, and i already have someone i like. don¡¯t talk nonsense in the future. if the person i like is jealous, i will not be able to bear it!¡± lu yanzhou said.


    ¡°you really have someone you like? who?¡±


    lu yanzhou sent the secretly taken photo of xie chengze: ¡°that¡¯s him. i haven¡¯t caught him yet, but i should soon!¡±


    ¡°this man is very handsome! he looks quite old, over thirty, right? he is completely different from jiang mi¡­do you really like him?¡± zhou hongxing was a little surprised when he saw xie chengze¡¯s photo.


    jiang mi has a baby face, looks innocent and not aggressive.


    but the person in the photo in front of him looks very mature and stable, with a very handsome appearance. although his eyes are gentle, he always gives people a feeling that he is not easy to deal with.


    ¡°of course i do. i have always liked mature people. as i said, i am mentally older.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    he planned to brainwash the people around the original owner and make them believe that he didn¡¯t like jiang mi.


    like this, even if xie chengze finds out about him and jiang mi in the future, he can still quibble¡­well, explain.


    zhou hongxing was in a trance. after thinking about it, he couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°lu yanzhou, do you really not lack a son?¡±


    ¡°get lost!¡±


    zhou hongxing sighed, very regretful.


    lu yanzhou was a very generous person. he had lent him money before when he was short of money.


    but what about jiang mi? he didn¡¯t know much about the affairs between lu yanzhou and jiang mi, but jiang mi¡¯s circle of friends ate, drank and had fun all day long. could lu yanzhou have spent hundreds of thousands on jiang mi?


    he is also an orphan and really wants to have a father like this!


    however, lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t like jiang mi, which is a great joy! zhou hongxing immediately told his and lu yanzhou¡¯s mutual friends about this matter.


    xie company. after lu yanzhou finished chatting with zhou hongxing, he saw someone next to him, waiting for him with a smile on his side.


    ¡°did you encounter a problem?¡± ask lu yanzhou.


    ¡°yes, we encountered a problem.¡± the man immediately said.


    ¡°let me take a look.¡± lu yanzhou immediately looked to help solve the problem.


    he has been living quite comfortably in xie company recently.


    as a well-connected person with skills, no one cares about whatever he wants to do.


    he even learned some ways to make extra money after getting to know people in the company.


    it won¡¯t be long before he can pay off the debt owed by the original owner, but next, he still needs a lot of money to save up merit and treat xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou plans to engage in artificial intelligence.


    he has done a lot of research on various robots in the previous world, so he knows a lot about artificial intelligence.


    he remembered that in the original owner¡¯s memory, there was a company that had mastered many new technologies. when xie company was attacked by the tan, they bought shares from xie chengze at a high price and acquired some of xie¡¯s subsidiaries, which could be regarded as helping xie company and xie chengze.


    the original owner, who was not familiar with company management, was not very clear about the specific situation, but the original owner learned from jiang mi that tan shaojun was very unhappy because he failed to completely annex the xie family.


    as for what happens next¡­the original owner is dead, so he doesn¡¯t know.


    that technology company is also a large group, called yaoshi group. they originally produced fiberglass and were on the verge of bankruptcy seven or eight years ago. however, they were acquired by another group. then they made money and began to enter other industries and develop some top technologies.


    in the past two years, they have also begun to study artificial intelligence.


    lu yanzhou planned to contact them secretly and sell some technology to make money.


    he only recently learned that although xie chengze is the leader of the xie family, he does not hold a lot of shares in the xie company.


    xie chengze is not short of money, but it is certainly not enough to squander it casually. xie company is still facing a crisis¡­


    he should make money by himself. if he earns enough, he might be able to help xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou packed his things in advance before time to clock out, so he was the first to leave after work hours.


    everyone looked at him with envy.


    a hired boss is really different! they were all embarrassed to be like lu yanzhou, rushing out as soon as work hours were done, fearing that the boss would be unhappy if he saw it.


    lu yanzhou is different. he is definitely not afraid of any boss. after all, with his ability, finding a good job is a matter of minutes.


    ¡°brother lu left so fast¡­¡±


    ¡°he wants to go home to be with his boyfriend, how could he not be in a hurry.¡±


    ¡°brother lu is really a winner in life! he has a great harvest in both career and love!¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou, who was envied by them, went to the underground garage, found xie chengze¡¯s car and got in.


    he and xie chengze are relatively low-key and avoid people when they are in the company.


    after waiting in the car for a while, xie chengze came.


    during this period, xie chengze dyed his hair every day. he doesn¡¯t know if it was because he was watching him, his appetite for the three meals a day is good, his complexion improved a lot, now he looked several years younger.


    seeing lu yanzhou in the car, xie chengze¡¯s lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up. he felt happy just seeing lu yanzhou.


    ¡°brother xie, you take longer to come.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°there are some unfinished things.¡± xie chengze said. he used to work overtime from time to time, but recently he got off work on time every day. it was actually not easy.


    ¡°brother xie, you must be tired after working so much.¡± lu yanzhou adjusted and moved next to xie chengze. ¡°in the future, you can give the work to others and rest more yourself.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou and agreed.


    he also had this idea. he wanted to spend more time with lu yanzhou.


    in the first few days, xie chengze was still unsure, but now more than ten days have passed, xie chengze is sure of one thing ¡ª lu yanzhou likes him.


    he didn¡¯t know whether what lu yanzhou liked was him as a person or his money, but it didn¡¯t really matter.


    lu yanzhou liked him, he was satisfied.


    ¡°brother xie, you have become more and more handsome recently. i heard people in the company talking about you today. everyone is curious about who will win a diamond king like you in the end.¡± lu yanzhou said naturally as he took xie chengze¡¯s hand and rubbed his wrist ¡ª xie chengze¡¯s wrist had been uncomfortable these days.


    ¡°what do you think?¡± xie chengze suddenly asked. this is not the first time lu yanzhou has said such ambiguous words and actions.


    at first he thought he might have made a mistake, but now¡­maybe he wasn¡¯t mistaken?


    lu yanzhou showed a big smile to xie chengze: ¡°i think i have great hopes.¡±


    xie chengze felt that his heart was hit by lu yanzhou¡¯s smile.


    at this moment, he didn¡¯t have time to think about many things. he looked at his hand held by lu yanzhou and said, ¡°didn¡¯t you already hold me?¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s smile became even brighter. he took xie chengze¡¯s hand and kissed it: ¡°aze, you are so cute!¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± aze? this guy doesn¡¯t even call brother anymore?

 CH 202

    by the time xie chengze came to his senses, he already had a boyfriend.


    this boyfriend¡­came really quickly.


    all the things that have happened in recent days are actually a bit unbelievable to xie chengze.


    he has always been a rational person. he used to think that love is illusory and that what makes a marriage strong are interests and responsibilities.


    as a result, when he was nearly forty, he went crazy and fell in love with a young man.


    but this is normal.


    his life is not as long as that of a healthy person. there is not much time left, and he may lose his life at any time. in this case, in the last stage of life, it¡¯s better to go crazy.


    in those previous years, he spent all his time making money.


    he is very busy every day, but looking back, he always feels that time has passed by strangely.


    company stock prices, various meetings, asset figures¡­these things filled his life, but he couldn¡¯t find any bright spots among them.


    time passed by his fingertips, and he seemed to be thirty-eight years old without doing anything.


    he was confused for a time ¡ª did he come to this world just to live for those trivial things?


    it wasn¡¯t until he met lu yanzhou that he felt like he was really alive.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s every move, every frown and every smile were engraved in his heart. he could recall them very clearly.


    xie chengze knew very well that a large part of the reason why lu yanzhou confessed to him and stayed with him was because of his money.


    but he doesn¡¯t care.


    he likes lu yanzhou¡¯s face, likes everything about lu yanzhou, so he is willing to spend money for lu yanzhou.


    he was even glad that he had money. as long as he controlled the situation and didn¡¯t give lu yanzhou too much money at once, lu yanzhou would always be with him.


    when the two got home, the nanny had already prepared dinner.


    xie chengze asked the nanny to leave and looked at lu yanzhou gently: ¡°when did you fall in love with me?¡±


    ¡°aze, i fell in love with you at first sight. the first time i saw you, i wanted to kiss you.¡± lu yanzhou¡¯s eyes reflected xie chengze.


    xie chengze liked hearing lu yanzhou coax him very much, so he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡°so, can i kiss you?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t answer. he stood up and kissed lu yanzhou¡¯s lips.


    lu yanzhou was naturally not polite. he hugged xie chengze and deepened the kiss.


    the two of them spent a lot of time eating this meal.


    during the meal, lu yanzhou kept saying sweet words: ¡°aze, you look so beautiful when you smile.¡±


    ¡°aze, you are the person i love most.¡±


    ¡°aze, looking at you, i feel like i don¡¯t even need food to eat.¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze felt a little helpless because of his little lover: ¡°you¡­i¡¯m older than you, and you still call me aze?¡±


    after spending time with lu yanzhou, xie chengze has known lu yanzhou¡¯s age.


    26 years old, a little older than he thought, but still young in his eyes.


    ¡°i like to call you that. do you have any objections?¡± lu yanzhou smiled.


    xie chengze chuckled: ¡°okay, i dare not have any objection.¡±


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t hold back and kissed him again.


    neither of them mentioned going downstairs for a walk, they just stayed on the sofa.


    however, at nine in the evening, lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, go take a bath and go to bed early.¡±


    when he was close to xie chengze, lu yanzhou had already checked xie chengze¡¯s pulse.


    xie chengze¡¯s current physical condition is really not good.


    he wanted to get close to xie chengze, but he didn¡¯t want to be a beast.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou and his eyes flashed: ¡°do you want to sleep with me?¡±


    lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze and showed some embarrassment: ¡°aze, our progress is too fast¡­¡±


    seeing lu yanzhou¡¯s embarrassed expression, xie chengze asked, ¡°you haven¡¯t been in love before? you¡¯re so innocent?¡±


    ¡°i have never been in love before meeting you.¡± lu yanzhou coughed lightly.


    xie chengze was in a good mood: ¡°that¡¯s pretty good.¡±


    seeing that he was happy, lu yanzhou kissed him again before going back to his bedroom.


    lu yanzhou asked xie chengze to take a bath and go to bed early, but he was not in a hurry to go to bed. after returning to his room, he turned on the computer and started to work.


    he planned to get some information, send it to yaoshi group, and try to contact this group.


    besides, he had some other things to deal with.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t sleep with xie chengze because he is working.


    at the same time, xie chengze¡¯s bedroom.


    xie chengze turned on his computer and held a video conference with someone to discuss the next direction of yaoshi group.


    xie chengze¡¯s father and his mother did not have a good relationship.


    in addition, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just a few years after he was born. his father cared even less about him and wanted his mother to have another child.


    his mother was unwilling and quarreled with his father for several years. the two eventually divorced and each remarried. a few years after his father remarried, xie ruanxin was born.


    his father liked xie ruanxin very much. at that time, he was ill all day long. his father thought that he might die young, so he wanted to cultivate xie ruanxin as his successor.


    however, something unexpected happened. when he was in college, his father was diagnosed with cancer. xie ruanxin was still very young at that time.


    because of this, he joined the xie company early and took charge of xie company at the age of 28.


    however, he himself was not very interested in xie company.


    xie company is a listed company with many shareholders, and the various relationships in the group are even more complicated.


    he was tired of taking care of it and wanted to find something else to do, so he opened another investment company and invested in yaoshi¡­


    he didn¡¯t expect that yaoshi would develop so well at first.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t care much about yaoshi¡¯s affairs.


    he is the person who owns the most shares in yaoshi, but someone else manages it, he only occasionally participates in decision-making.


    after contacting yaoshi¡¯s people, xie chengze asked his lawyer to change his will.


    his original will was to donate all his assets, but this time¡­he planned to leave the house where he lives now and some money to lu yanzhou.


    since lu yanzhou accompanies him for a while, he has to leave something for lu yanzhou.


    the next day, when xie chengze woke up in the morning, he saw lu yanzhou cooking.


    lu yanzhou made breakfast suitable for xie chengze, and specially made lunch that suited xie chengze and put it in the lunch box.


    ¡°aze, you must eat on time at noon, and don¡¯t forget your medicine. by the way, aze, how do you store your usual medicine? are you sure it¡¯s safe?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze liked being cared for by lu yanzhou: ¡°my medicine is well kept and is very safe.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good. tan shaojun is unscrupulous in doing things. i¡¯m afraid he will use some despicable methods to hurt you.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    whenever xie chengze and lu yanzhou talk recently, he often hears lu yanzhou complaining about tan shaojun.


    xie chengze felt that lu yanzhou really had a grudge against tan shaojun. young people are always more vindictive¡­he said: ¡°don¡¯t worry, i will guard against him.¡±


    lu yanzhou kissed him: ¡°remember, your body is the most important.¡±


    xie chengze also believe that.


    if he wants to survive, he must take good care of his body.


    in the future, he can increase the number of visits to the hospital for check-ups.


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze came together naturally. they were sweet, very sweet, but jiang mi, who couldn¡¯t find lu yanzhou, was really anxious.


    when he was a teenager, he began to accept lu yanzhou¡¯s protection and was protected by lu yanzhou for more than ten years.


    now lu yanzhou suddenly disappeared¡­it¡¯s surprising that he can adapt!


    but lu yanzhou¡¯s friends refused to give him lu yanzhou¡¯s contact information.


    jiang mi felt that lu yanzhou was too heartless. he also felt that lu yanzhou was too much.


    is lu yanzhou forcing him to make a choice? but he has always liked tan shaojun, and he has never liked lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what jiang mi thought. when zhou hongxing told him the news about jiang mi again, he happily told zhou hongxing that he was taken.


    ¡°congratulations!¡± zhou hongxing was really happy for lu yanzhou, but also a little worried: ¡°lu yanzhou, i heard jiang mi say¡­you owe a lot of money?¡±


    ¡°i owe money but it¡¯s nothing. i will pay it off soon.¡± lu yanzhou didn¡¯t care much about owing money.


    ¡°that¡¯s good.¡± zhou hongxing felt relieved.


    lu yanzhou chatted with zhou hongxing, and while having lunch, he sent another message to xie chengze: ¡°aze, i miss you so much.¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± his little lover is really too clingy!


    but he really likes it¡­ ¡°i miss you too.¡±


    the two were chatting when xie ruanxin came in from the outside: ¡°brother, what do you mean? you ask me to serve tea and water all day long, you don¡¯t give me any real work to do at all!¡±


    xie chengze frowned slightly: ¡°real work¡­can you do it?¡±


    ¡°just keep doing it, won¡¯t i be able to do it?¡± xie ruan thought to herself.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t turn her away. he looked at the assistant beside him: ¡°i remember that i need a ppt for the meeting tomorrow. give her the information and let her do it.¡±


    the assistant immediately agreed.


    xie ruanxin was dumbfounded: ¡°this is not what i want to do!¡±


    ¡°you don¡¯t know how to do this, what else could you do?¡± xie chengze was helpless.


    xie ruanxin was furious and said: ¡°i won¡¯t do anything, okay?! brother, my mother asked you to go back for dinner on saturday, don¡¯t forget!¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m busy¡­¡±


    ¡°saturday is grandma¡¯s death anniversary.¡± said xie ruanxin.


    xie chengze was not familiar with his grandmother, but xie ruanxin¡¯s mother seemed to have made up her mind to make him go back¡­xie chengze agreed: ¡°i know, i will go back.¡±


    xie ruanxin left with satisfaction.


    after xie ruanxin left, xie chengze¡¯s attention returned to his mobile phone.


    lu yanzhou sent him some sweet words.


    this guy is not doing his job properly in the company every day, isn¡¯t he afraid of being fired?


    but it¡¯s good to be fired? if lu yanzhou is fired, he will let lu yanzhou be his life assistant and stay with him all the time.


    with this in mind, xie chengze immediately decided to harass lu yanzhou during work hours in the afternoon.

 CH 203

    xie chengze has always had a sense of responsibility for xie company.


    he joined xie company in his early twenties, starting as a low-level employee. after many years of experience, he took charge of xie company. no matter how problematic xie¡¯s company was, he spent half of his life on it.


    he has always hoped that xie company can develop well.


    however, recently when he was with lu yanzhou, his thoughts changed drastically.


    he didn¡¯t know how long he had left in his life, and he didn¡¯t have many days to move around healthily. he didn¡¯t want to waste time on other things.


    he should pay attention to himself.


    in the afternoon, while lu yanzhou was working, his cell phone rang again and again.


    lu yanzhou was a little surprised.


    naturally, he changed not only his mobile phone number, but also other accounts. therefore, he now has very few contacts.


    as for his recent job search, he informed zhou hongxing and others. if there¡¯s nothing important, they would not contact him during working hours.


    if there is something important, they will not choose to text, but will make a phone call.


    lu yanzhou stopped what he was doing and turned on his phone. he saw several messages sent by xie chengze: ¡°shall we go out to eat tonight?¡±


    ¡°is there anywhere you want to go?¡±


    ¡°you can tell me.¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze sent one message after another, lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but smile seeing it.


    does xie chengze want to go on a date with him?


    it was his negligence. these days, he and xie chengze go and get off work together everyday but they have never gone out for a date.


    lu yanzhou replied: ¡°i can go anywhere as long as i can be with you.¡±


    the original owner had been in sales for the past few years. he knew very well what place was suitable for receiving customers, but he had no idea what place was suitable for dating.


    xie chengze quickly sent several restaurants to lu yanzhou for lu yanzhou to choose from.


    lu yanzhou took the time to look around and chose one.


    after a while, xie chengze sent another message, saying that he will be taking him to buy some clothes over the weekend¡­


    lu yanzhou listened to the non-stop messages and suddenly realized that he had neglected something.


    to him, he and xie chengze were already an old couple.


    after so many years of getting along, he sometimes gets too close to xie chengze unconsciously.


    for example, when he and xie chengze had not yet established a relationship, he would naturally hold xie chengze¡¯s hand.


    sometimes even after the intimate gestures were made, he realized something was wrong ¡ª he seemed like a rogue.


    fortunately, xie chengze treated him differently. he accepted everything he did without saying anything, he even got his hands on him!


    because of his mentality, he did not study dating specifically, but he forgot that for xie chengze in this world, this is their first love.


    the two just confirmed their relationship last night, and now xie chengze is probably still a little excited.


    lu yanzhou replied to xie chengze with a smile, while doing two things at once, typing code quickly.


    when he came to find xie chengze, he sealed most of his energy, but after traveling through the worlds one after another, his soul became much stronger.


    now he is quite different from ordinary people.


    fortunately, it wasn¡¯t as if there were no geniuses like him, so no one around him doubts him.


    at this moment, lu yanzhou¡¯s colleagues all looked at lu yanzhou with admiration.


    if their thoughts were interrupted while they were working, it would take them a while before they could immerse themselves in work and continue working again. lu yanzhou was amazing. he could actually text and work at the same time.


    the key is that his efficiency is far superior to them.


    they encountered a bug before and couldn¡¯t fix it, so they came to lu yanzhou for help. however, after lu yanzhou asked clearly about the requirements, he wrote a new one for them.


    ¡°brother lu, you are so awesome!¡± someone couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°it¡¯s okay¡­is there any work you want me to do?¡± lu yanzhou asked, and also texting with xie chengze on his mobile phone.


    he originally wanted to send more messages to xie chengze, but now that he thought that this was xie chengze¡¯s first love, he decided to behave and give more care to xie chengze.


    ¡°no, no, no, brother lu, you are busy with your own things.¡± someone said.


    another person was curious: ¡°brother lu, are you chatting with sister-in-law?¡±


    ¡°of course.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    ¡°sister-in-law is quite clingy,¡± a colleague said.


    lu yanzhou thought of xie chengze¡¯s appearance and chuckled: ¡°mm¡±


    the group of single colleagues were very curious about lu yanzhou¡¯s unique love life, so they asked a few more questions. lu yanzhou didn¡¯t hide it and told them that his boyfriend was going on a date with him tonight.


    everyone was immediately envious.


    when manager zhang came over, he happened to see this scene. he finally understood why president xie specifically told him to tolerate lu yanzhou.


    there is no problem with lu yanzhou¡¯s skills, but he is a bit carefree and undisciplined, which some leaders may not understand.


    but he is different! he is not one of those stubborn leaders!


    as long as lu yanzhou does his job well, even if lu yanzhou sleeps on his stomach every day at work, he can accept it!


    manager zhang stepped forward with a smile and said to lu yanzhou, ¡°xiao lu, since you are going on a date, you can leave early later.¡±


    ¡°thank you, manager zhang!¡± said lu yanzhou.


    manager zhang added: ¡°but tomorrow, i will trouble you to go to old li¡¯s place to help. the deadline for his project is coming soon, but there are still some things that have not been dealt with¡­¡±


    ¡°no problem.¡± lu yanzhou agreed.


    manager zhang added: ¡°then xiao lu, you go on a date! don¡¯t worry, when the bonus comes after the completion of the project, yours will be indispensable!¡±


    seeing lu yanzhou start packing his things, manager zhang then said: ¡°xiao lu, you and your boyfriend have such a good relationship! when our department has dinner, you should bring him over so that we can get to know each other.¡±


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help laughing when he heard this: ¡°if there is a chance, i will definitely bring him over.¡±


    if he brings him over during the department dinner, if xie chengze comes, manager zhang might be frightened that his wig came off.


    now that he can leave work early¡­lu yanzhou called xie chengze¡¯s driver and went to buy a bouquet of roses near the company.


    in the afternoon, xie chengze handed over a lot of work to his subordinates and kept chatting with lu yanzhou.


    he is the boss, so it doesn¡¯t matter if he doesn¡¯t do his job properly, but on lu yanzhou¡¯s side¡­lu yanzhou sends him more messages than he sends lu yanzhou, lu yanzhou will definitely be disliked.


    thinking that lu yanzhou might be disliked by his colleagues, xie chengze felt a little guilty and planned to persuade lu yanzhou to change jobs later.


    there is also the debt owed by lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t mention it before, so he couldn¡¯t offer to help him pay off his debt, but now that they are together, he can definitely help him pay off his debt.


    after clocking out, xie chengze left on time as usual.


    xie ruanxin was a little annoyed when she saw it. there were so many things going on in the company, but xie chengze got off work so early and didn¡¯t care about the company at all.


    she picked up her bag and chased after him, entering the same elevator as xie chengze.


    xie chengze looked at his sister helplessly.


    he was already sixteen when his sister was born, and since she had always been precocious¡­to him, this sister is more like a niece, a complete junior.


    after his father suffered from cancer, he lived for many years before passing away. during that period, he kept asking him to take good care of his sister, and he listened. after his father passed away, he once wanted to cultivate his sister as his heir.


    it¡¯s a pity that his stepmother was very guarded against him and didn¡¯t allow him to get close to his sister. she also sent the teenage girl abroad to hang out with a group of idle rich second generations for several years.


    now that his sister is in her twenties, he can¡¯t control her even if he wants to, so he doesn¡¯t care anymore.


    anyway, being born into the xie family, her life will definitely be rich.


    instead of thinking about xie ruanxin, it is better to think about lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s ability is much better than xie ruanxin since he can understand many things at once. unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t born well off, so he couldn¡¯t receive a better education.


    what will happen to lu yanzhou after he dies?


    he left lu yanzhou a house and money, but if lu yanzhou accidentally spent all the money, what will he do next?


    maybe he should prepare another trust fund for lu yanzhou so that he will receive money every month.


    ¡°brother, why did you suddenly get off work on time recently?¡± xie ruanxin asked.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i didn¡¯t want to be too tired, so i got off work on time.¡±


    xie ruanxin frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but saw that xie chengze had already started playing with his mobile phone with his head down, with a smile on his lips.


    xie ruanxin felt defensive.


    xie chengze has changed a lot recently. he suddenly dyed his hair and is also in a good mood every day¡­what happened to him?


    when the elevator stopped, xie ruanxin quickly chased xie chengze out.


    in the past, xie chengze went out in a hurry, but it was different today. he strode forward, and after a while he came to his car and opened the door.


    from a distance, through the gap, xie ruanxin saw fiery red roses, which seemed to fill the entire car.


    xie chengze is going to give roses to someone?!


    xie ruanxin was shocked by the rose, and so was xie chengze.


    after receiving lu yanzhou¡¯s message and knowing that lu yanzhou was already in the car, he sped up and went downstairs.


    when he opened the car door, he saw lu yanzhou holding a rose bouquet.


    xie chengze¡¯s heart beat faster and his eyes were full of disbelief.


    ¡°aze, here you go,¡± lu yanzhou stuffed the bouquet of flowers into xie chengze¡¯s arms, ¡°flowers match beauty.¡±


    xie chengze took the flowers, sat in the car, and then slowly calmed down his heartbeat.


    his little lover is really nice, so good at coaxing people.


    xie chengze booked a private room at a nearby private club. he took lu yanzhou there and ordered a table of dishes.


    all this today is a rare experience for him.


    from beginning to end, he was very happy.


    for this happiness¡­he is willing to spend a lot of money.


    lu yanzhou could tell that xie chengze was very satisfied with this date.


    he laughed: ¡°aze, let¡¯s go on a date together tomorrow night, okay?¡±


    xie chengze agreed: ¡°okay.¡±


    lu yanzhou wanted to give xie chengze a perfect dating experience. because of this, while he was busy at work the next day, he still specially asked his colleagues to help him check the dating guide: ¡°it¡¯s best to be in a romantic place. the price doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    from the way lu yanzhou dressed, one knew that he was not short of money. his colleagues didn¡¯t look at the prices and quickly selected a few dating locations without looking at the prices.


    go to the suburbs and eat hot pot in a tent under the stars; go to the beach, barbecue on the beach, and take a helicopter to watch the night view; go to a special couple¡¯s restaurant and enjoy a candlelight dinner together¡­


    ¡°brother lu, if your boyfriend is young, you may like haunted houses or something like that, so you can also take him to play there.¡± someone said.


    ¡°thank you everyone!¡± lu yanzhou looked around and planned to take xie chengze to the suburbs to eat hot pot in a tent tonight.


    the place to eat hot pot is in a very famous park. the scenery there is very beautiful.


    therefore, before xie chengze had time to flirt with lu yanzhou, lu yanzhou sent a message to xie chengze and asked him to make an appointment.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± during work hours, lu yanzhou is thinking about dating?


    of course, he loved it.


    he didn¡¯t know when he might die, so he had to enjoy it before he died.


    xie chengze chatted with lu yanzhou for a while and made an appointment to eat hot pot together later.


    the hot pot in the evening was delicious, and the scenery in the park was also very good, especially with the person he liked¡­xie chengze felt that this was the best hot pot he had ever eaten.


    on the third day, lu yanzhou took him shopping again. they strolled along the commercial street lined with food stalls and shared delicious snacks together.


    the fourth day is friday. xie company holds a summary meeting every friday. at the meeting, xie chengze saw manager zhang who looked happy and did a good job.


    after the meeting, he stopped manager zhang and said, ¡°old zhang, how is xiao lu doing with you?¡±


    ¡°president xie, he performed very well!¡± manager zhang immediately said.


    ¡°he can be a bit undisciplined sometimes¡­¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s okay, president xie, we all understand! we won¡¯t embarrass him.¡± manager zhang immediately assured him, what¡¯s the big deal with undisciplined?


    president xie invited a great master like lu yanzhou here and offered him an ordinary salary¡­he can tolerate all of lu yanzhou¡¯s minor problems!


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± this is not going right.


    hasn¡¯t old zhang always hated incompetent employees? why is he so tolerant of lu yanzhou now?


    is it because manager zhang is particularly loyal to him?


    xie chengze wanted lu yanzhou to come to him, but he didn¡¯t want to make lu yanzhou unhappy, so he could only say: ¡°you take good care of him.¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t worry, president xie, i will take good care of him!¡± said manager zhang. he had already planned to tell all the dating locations he knew to lu yanzhou, so that he could go on a date with his clingy boyfriend!


    after xie chengze let manager zhang leave, he sent a message to lu yanzhou asking how lu yanzhou was doing at work.


    lu yanzhou did not hesitate: ¡°it¡¯s a pleasure to work.¡± it¡¯s good to be able to fish during working hours and still do your own thing after finishing the work.


    because he gave some useful suggestions to manager zhang, manager zhang had already planned to arrange a separate office for him, so that he would have more time to do his own things.


    he will definitely be able to make money as soon as possible and accumulate enough merit.


    xie chengze, who originally wanted to persuade him to become his assistant, said: ¡°¡­¡± ok.

 CH 204

    manager zhang returned to the department and looked for lu yanzhou: ¡°xiao lu! mr. xie cares about you very much. he specifically asked me to take care of you today.¡±


    ¡°i know.¡± lu yanzhou smiled. if his aze doesn¡¯t care about him, who will he care about?


    ¡°by the way, are you going on a date today?¡± manager zhang asked.


    ¡°yes.¡± lu yanzhou answered. he planned to take xie chengze to a nearby amusement park today.


    these days, he and xie chengze talk a lot and he learned a lot about xie chengze. when xie chengze was young, he probably didn¡¯t go out to play much. when he grew up, he also have no time to play.


    ¡°then you should get off work early and have fun with your boyfriend.¡± manager zhang said.


    people in their department felt that lu yanzhou¡¯s boyfriend was a bit clingy as he kept texting him every day and asked for romantic dates.


    however, he also cooks for lu yanzhou every day, so he obviously loves lu yanzhou very much¡­thus, it¡¯s good to have such a boyfriend!


    ¡°thank you, manager zhang.¡± lu yanzhou smiled and began to prepare for the evening date.


    xie chengze had never been to an amusement park, so he was a little surprised when lu yanzhou took him to the amusement park.


    they didn¡¯t go for any exciting ride, but they took a ride on the ferris wheel. when the ferris wheel took off, lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze: ¡°aze, i love you.¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s heartbeat accelerated again.


    he had always felt that lu yanzhou may not really like him, but now¡­he felt like he was deeply loved.


    in fact, there are many people who love him, precisely because he has no shortage of people who love him, so he is more willing to find someone to love.


    and if the person he loves loves him back¡­that would be the best thing.


    saturday, xie family old home.


    the xie family¡¯s old house is said to be an old house, but in fact it is not that old. it was a villa bought by father xie and xie ruanxin¡¯s mother when they got married. a few years ago, the entire villa was decorated very modernly according to xie ruanxin¡¯s preferences.


    at this moment, xie ruanxin was chatting with her mother.


    xie¡¯s mother said: ¡°ruan xin, how are you and tan shaojun?¡±


    xie ruanxin said: ¡°just the same. tan shaojun didn¡¯t break up with that man, but he will definitely marry me. his parents and him both gave me guarantees.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s good. with him on your side, you will definitely get xie company.¡± mother xie was very happy to hear this.


    xie ruanxin also agreed.


    mother xie suddenly became worried again and asked: ¡°by the way ruanxin, xie chengze¡¯s side¡­is he really in love?¡±


    xie ruanxin: ¡°definitely! i even saw the roses in his car. he must want to give them away! everyone in the company is also talking about this matter.¡±


    xie chengze has changed a lot in recent days.


    he dyes his hair every day and no longer wears dull clothes. he looks much younger. that¡¯s okay, but he used to work overtime, but now he gets off work on time every day, maybe even earlier.


    all the secretaries thought he was in love, and some even see xie chengze as a love-struck fool.


    mother xie became worried: ¡°what should we do? if he falls in love and gets married¡­¡±


    before mother xie could finish her words, the housekeeper informed them that xie chengze was here.


    the two stopped talking immediately and looked towards the door.


    as soon as xie chengze entered, he saw mother xie and xie ruanxin sitting on the sofa, looking at him.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t get along much with the mother and daughter, so he wasn¡¯t close to them or disliked them. he sat down on the sofa and asked, ¡°auntie, what did you ask me to come back for?¡± it was grandma¡¯s death anniversary or something, most likely¡­she must have wanted something from him.


    mother xie said: ¡°there¡¯s nothing. i just want to tell you about ruanxin. ruanxin is also a shareholder of xie company. can you take her with you and let her learn how to manage the company?¡±


    ¡°if ruanxin wants to learn, she can learn a lot from the secretary, and i can also recommend some books to her.¡± said xie chengze.


    ¡°ruanxin was ostracized everywhere in the company, no one taught her at all.¡± mother xie was very dissatisfied.


    xie chengze was speechless for a moment.


    when father xie was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, thinking of xie chengze, his adult son, he asked xie chengze, who was still in college, to join xie company as an intern.


    xie chengze was only twenty-one at the time. he was in poor health and looked sick, but he still concealed his identity¡­after he entered xie company, no one paid attention to him at all. he didn¡¯t even have his own work station and could only do odd jobs.


    he moved a small table to the logistics department as a workstation. in order to finish some important work, he stood at the table of the team leader who managed him for most of the day¡­


    at that time, he was one year younger than the present xie ruanxin.


    xie ruanxin¡¯s words¡­she is a shareholder of the company and has not concealed her identity. after she came to the company, no one dared to offend her. if she really wanted to learn, who would not teach her?


    xie chengze said: ¡°is there no one to teach her, or does she not want to learn?¡±


    ¡°ruanxin must want to learn, it¡¯s obvious that you don¡¯t want to teach.¡± mother xie was unhappy and her tone was a bit harsh.


    ¡°auntie, i have no obligation to teach her.¡± xie chengze frowned.


    when mother xie heard what xie chengze said, she couldn¡¯t help but said, ¡°what¡¯s wrong with you teaching her? sooner or later, xie company will be handed over to her.¡±


    ¡°who told you that xie company will be handed over to her?¡± xie chengze was even more speechless.


    ¡°if xie company wasn¡¯t handed over to ruanxin, who would you give it to?¡± mother xie¡¯s voice was a little louder, ¡°aze, you are not in good health, and the doctors said that you¡­even if you get married and have a child now, it will still be too late to raise the child until they became an adult, right? ruanxin is your sister, so it¡¯s best to let her manage the company.¡±


    ¡°i won¡¯t get married and have children, but the company won¡¯t be handed to her either.¡±


    ¡°then who will you be giving it to?¡± mother xie asked.


    ¡°the company doesn¡¯t belong to me alone. it¡¯s not a question of who i want to give it to.¡± xie chengze said that there will definitely be a shareholders¡¯ meeting by then.


    ¡°what about your shares?¡± mother xie asked.


    ¡°i have made a will and will donate it,¡± xie chengze said.


    xie ruanxin was stunned: ¡°you want to donate the shares? why don¡¯t you give it to me?!¡±


    xie chengze looked at xie ruanxin coldly: ¡°why should i give it to you?¡±


    xie ruanxin wanted to make trouble again, but when she met xie chengze¡¯s gaze, she was so anxious that she didn¡¯t dare to say anything.


    the xie chengze at this moment strangely scares her.


    at this time, xie chengze finally understood why xie ruanxin was jumping up and down recently.


    his stepmother was aware of his poor health. the doctor had said at the time that he might only live to be forty or fifty years old.


    isn¡¯t he almost forty now?


    they are eager to get the shares and money in his hands.


    xie chengze stood up suddenly and said, ¡°i still have something to do, so i¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    mother xie finally came to her senses: ¡°xie chengze, you are almost dead, so why do you still hold onto the shares and money? your sister is your only relative¡­¡±


    xie ruanxin also said: ¡°my surname is xie, why do you give the shares to others but not me?!¡±


    xie chengze didn¡¯t look back and planned to have someone investigate mother xie after he left here.


    over the years, he had also heard some news that mother xie had lost a lot of money by investing everywhere.


    he didn¡¯t take it seriously at first, but now¡­the money lost may be more than he thought.


    when leaving the old house, xie chengze was in a bad mood.


    no matter what xie ruanxin do, he always regarded her as his sister before.


    but now, xie ruanxin wishes that he would die soon.


    he doesn¡¯t have many friends, but his relatives are like this¡­ fortunately, he still has lu yanzhou.


    when xie chengze got outside, he called lu yanzhou and asked him to come out. he wanted to take lu yanzhou to buy clothes.


    after establishing a relationship with lu yanzhou, he wanted to give lu yanzhou money, but there was never a good time.


    especially in the past few days, every time he went out on a date, lu yanzhou would invite him, and lu yanzhou would arrange the time and venue.


    the date was overall very romantic¡­lu yanzhou was seriously in love with him. if he gave lu yanzhou money at that time, it would definitely ruin the beautiful atmosphere at that moment, so he didn¡¯t give it.


    thinking of everything that happened in the past few days, xie chengze was in a particularly good mood.


    lu yanzhou approached him at first, perhaps because of his money, but judging from their interactions these days, lu yanzhou also had a good impression of him.


    when he was with him, lu yanzhou would often kiss him and hug him¡­if lu yanzhou didn¡¯t like him, how could he do this?


    as long as lu yanzhou likes him¡­he doesn¡¯t care what the reason is.


    he himself also became interested in lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze went back to pick up lu yanzhou and took lu yanzhou to a large shopping mall.


    there are very few people in the mall. after all, this mall sells high-end luxury goods, and ordinary people will not come in at all.


    after xie chengze brought lu yanzhou inside, he went directly to the most expensive store.


    lu yanzhou grabbed him and said, ¡°aze, i¡¯m not used to wearing big brands, let¡¯s just buy something ordinary.¡± buying clothes that are too expensive is a waste of money.


    instead of spending money on expensive clothes, it is better to exchange it for merit.


    xie chengze hesitated for a moment and took lu yanzhou to a relatively ordinary store.


    however, what seemed to be a relatively ordinary store to xie chengze looked very good to lu yanzhou. the original owner of his body had bought clothes here before to show off.


    he also bought a lot of clothes for jiang mi here, far more than he could buy for himself.


    after entering the store, xie chengze immediately asked someone to bring some sets of clothes for lu yanzhou to try on.


    lu yanzhou took a set of clothes into the fitting room and quickly changed into them.


    xie chengze, who was sitting at the door, saw it and his eyes immediately lit up.


    lu yanzhou is handsome and has a good figure. when the clothes are hanging, they look ordinary, but when they are worn on lu yanzhou, they become extraordinarily different.


    xie chengze became interested and asked lu yanzhou to try on several sets. after trying one set, he had another set wrapped up.


    when xie chengze chose five sets of clothes for himself, lu yanzhou finally stopped him: ¡°aze, don¡¯t buy it, it¡¯s enough.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°you don¡¯t have enough clothes¡­¡± lu yanzhou has been wearing a few sets of clothes these days.


    ¡°it¡¯s really a lot. it¡¯s a waste to buy too much.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze wanted to spend money on lu yanzhou, but he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed because he couldn¡¯t spend much.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t think much about it and took out his membership card to ask the clerk for a discount.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± his little lover is quite diligent and thrifty.


    on the way back, xie chengze asked thoughtfully: ¡°yanzhou, you told me before that you were in debt¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i lied to you, just to rely on you.¡±


    xie chengze suddenly looked at lu yanzhou, then he was kissed by lu yanzhou again.

 CH 205

    lu yanzhou knew why xie chengze asked him this, he must have wanted to give him money.


    if xie chengze¡¯s physical condition is very bad, then he will take the money no matter what, and then help xie chengze accumulate enough merit as soon as possible.


    but now xie chengze¡¯s physical condition is relatively stable.


    the second thing is¡­tan is eyeing xie, so there¡¯s many places where xie chengze can use the money.


    even if he wants xie chengze to spend money in exchange for merit, he should wait until xie company¡¯s crisis is over.


    the most important thing is¡­he has been making money crazily during this period, and has actually paid off his debts.


    ¡°i did have debts before, but that¡¯s nothing to me. i fell in love with you at first sight, so i moved out of the house and used this as an excuse to get close to you.¡± lu yanzhou said with a smile.


    xie chengze¡¯s face was a little hot: ¡°i am so old, but you still fell in love with me at first sight¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i like you like this.¡±


    xie chengze kissed lu yanzhou and suddenly realized that lu yanzhou, as an orphan, may lack love so he is like this.


    many people who lack fatherly love will find partners who are several years older than themselves. is this the case for lu yanzhou too?


    it was getting late. xie chengze wanted to find a place to have dinner with lu yanzhou, but lu yanzhou refused: ¡°aze, i still have some unfinished work today. let¡¯s go home for dinner. i¡¯ll cook for you.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze agreed, but he was a little curious, ¡°what work have you not finished?¡± lu yanzhou leaves early every day, but he still needs to work overtime from home?


    ¡°it¡¯s nothing, just something trivial.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou obviously didn¡¯t want to say more, so xie chengze didn¡¯t ask any more questions.


    the food lu yanzhou cooked¡­he was quite looking forward to it.


    during this period, lu yanzhou cooked breakfast and lunch for him in different ways every day. the food he made not only tasted good, but was also rich in nutrition. he wondered how lu yanzhou developed such good cooking skills at such a young age.


    in the evening, while lu yanzhou was cooking, he said some bad things about tan shaojun to xie chengze, telling xie chengze to beware of tan shaojun.


    jiang mi¡­lu yanzhou had seen the original owner¡¯s memory and probably knew what kind of person he was.


    he was well protected by his original owner. although he was an orphan, he lived a carefree life since he was a child and developed a good temperament. in addition, he was cute, so he was naturally lovable.


    but peeling off this shell, jiang mi actually has many problems, such as vanity.


    the original owner¡¯s job was in sales, so he knew all the rich people. all his peers loved to compare with each other, so he gave jiang mi a high living allowance at the beginning.


    but at that time, he was not prepared to buy expensive clothes and shoes for jiang mi. even the original owner wanted to save money to buy a house.


    it was jiang mi who intentionally or unintentionally mentioned what others eat and use, and also showed disappointment at the right time¡­the original owner liked him and didn¡¯t want to see him feel uncomfortable, so he bought him this and that.


    and jiang mi accepts all this naturally. it can only be said that he is not only vain, but also selfish by nature.


    but no matter how selfish jiang mi is, he has never done anything illegal. in contrast, tan shaojun is a bit ignorant of the law.


    lu yanzhou investigated the tan family during this period and found that although tan shaojun was the president, overall, the tan company was still managed by his father. however, whether it was tan shaojun or father tan, their methods were a bit ruthless.


    ¡°i will guard against him.¡± xie chengze promised seriously.


    lu yanzhou put the food he had just fried on the plate: ¡°i¡¯m afraid the tan family doesn¡¯t have any good intentions toward the xie.¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°that¡¯s right.¡±


    ¡°aze, do you have any way to bring down the tan family?¡± lu yanzhou asked suddenly.


    xie chengze thought for a while and then said: ¡°there may be a way.¡±


    ¡°aze, i know some inside information about the tan family, maybe i can help you!¡± lu yanzhou said.


    according to the original owner¡¯s memory, tan shaojun and xie ruanxin will still be together, so jiang mi is very dissatisfied. then the reason tan shaojun gave jiang mi was that xie ruanxin had obtained the tan family weakness, and he could only reluctantly be with xie ruanxin.


    and that so-called weakness¡­the tan family has a lot of tax evasion. when father tan made a fortune, it also involved embezzlement of state-owned assets.


    jiang mi trusted the original owner enough to tell the original owner this.


    the original owner seemed to understand but there was no evidence even if he heard it. however, lu yanzhou knew very well that this was a fatal matter, so he told xie chengze about it now.


    xie chengze was shocked. he didn¡¯t expect that tan would be involved in such a thing.


    lu yanzhou continued: ¡°aze, your sister may have the evidence.¡±


    ¡°i will investigate.¡± xie chengze said.


    after getting along with lu yanzhou these days, xie chengze was sure of one thing, that is, lu yanzhou hated tan shaojun very much, and even wished that the tan family went bankrupt.


    tan shaojun really went too far. just because of a trivial matter, he made lu yanzhou lose his job.


    if lu yanzhou wants tan shaojun to be unlucky, maybe he can help.


    xie chengze looked at the food on the table and was already thinking about buying the tan.


    the tan company and the xie company are actually complementary. if the tan swallows the xie, it will be of great benefit to the tan. if the xie swallows the tan, it will also be of great benefit to the xie.


    his life will come to an end soon, but lu yanzhou is still young.


    it would be a disadvantage for lu yanzhou to accompany him.


    it¡¯s okay if lu yanzhou wants money, but lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t want money.


    he could only do other things to make lu yanzhou happy as compensation for lu yanzhou.


    after the two had dinner, they exchanged a kiss, then lu yanzhou went to work.


    xie chengze smiled and went back to his room to get busy.


    in addition to xie company, he also has other industries to manage.


    while xie chengze was busy, someone from yaoshi contacted him and said that they had recently contacted a big boss with top technology.


    xie chengze registered a special investment company, set up several layers of shells, and then controlled yaoshi. in addition, yaoshi was not listed¡­very few people knew about his relationship with yaoshi, and the contact between the two parties was limited.


    since they contact him, there must be something big going on.


    the matter this time is indeed not small. yaoshi recently contacted a person who provided very high-end technology. if what he said is true, yaoshi can even produce the most cutting-edge chips.


    the key is that when the person gave them the technology, the chip came with it!


    yaoshi suspected that this person was a researcher at some high-end research institute abroad, and now he had stolen the research results and sold them for money. otherwise¡­it is impossible for someone with such technology to remain unknown.


    of course, if he can come up with such technology, then he must have participated in the research himself, and even has a thorough understanding of it¡­maybe he was controlled and forced to do research, so he chose such a path?


    ¡°what requests does he have?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°he wants money.¡±


    ¡°as long as it is verified that the technology is real and we can use it, just give him the money!¡± xie chengze said.


    he is dying, and money is just a number to him.


    he doesn¡¯t mind spending money to do things that benefit the country and the people.


    while xie chengze was making decisions here, on the other side, lu yanzhou had already started discussing cooperation with yaoshi.


    he wants to sell technology, but as for how to sell it¡­anyway, he just wants money.


    as for how to give the money¡­he planned to ask the other party to donate it directly, so as to save him from difficulty in handling it and arouse suspicion.


    in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.


    it has been two months since lu yanzhou came to this world. his relationship with xie chengze is getting better and better, and his life is also on the right track.


    today, he was in a very good mood. he gave yaoshi the technology, which had been verified by yaoshi, and then they donated 50 million yuan to buy the technology in accordance with his request.


    with all that merit, he was more energetic than usual when working in xie company, his hands were almost dancing on the keyboard very quickly.


    just¡­why didn¡¯t xie chengze talk with him today?


    lu yanzhou glanced at his phone from time to time, feeling a little disappointed.


    xie chengze, who was not texting lu yanzhou, was at a loss.


    it was xie chengze who made the final decision for yaoshi to buy the technology but he actually took a huge risk by doing this.


    if he is not careful, he may even be investigated for breaking the law.


    as a result, the entire transaction process went very smoothly. ignoring that, the person selling the technology did not accept the money, but asked them to donate the money instead.


    at this moment, xie chengze only felt that he should not have made malicious speculations about that person before.


    then maybe he really is a person who doesn¡¯t care about fame and wealth, so he doesn¡¯t want money.


    xie chengze was very happy when yaoshi encountered such a thing, but the people investigating xie ruanxin and her mother gave him some not-so-good news.


    both xie ruanxin and mother xie were in poor financial condition, especially mother xie, who actually owed a lot of money outside.


    after his father contracted cancer, he continued to fight the disease and lived for another ten years before passing away. during these ten years, mother xie had been taking care of him.


    therefore, his father left a lot of money to mother xie before his death, and so she received large dividends every year from the shares he left to xie ruanxin.


    regardless of whether it was mother xie or xie ruanxin, if they were just squandering, there wouldn¡¯t be any big problems. unfortunately, mother xie was coaxed and deceived into investing everywhere.


    ten years ago, she had gone to open factories and build real estate in economically underdeveloped areas. she spent an unknown amount of money in vain. in the following ten years, she did all kinds of things that wasted money.


    it was also because they had no money that they decided to target him.


    they unite with the tan to get xie company and the money in his hands.


    xie chengze thinks this is quite ridiculous.


    xie company was indeed handed over to him by his father, but the xie company back then was not as big as it is now!


    because of him, xie¡¯s dividends were getting more and more every year. other shareholders were very satisfied with him and wished that he would live a long life. as a result, his sister hoped that he would die soon.


    his sister also cooperates with the tan¡­she is not a good person.


    if he is not careful, his sister may be eaten up by the tan.


    but tan company won¡¯t last long either.


    xie chengze has already begun to lay out and collect information on tan¡¯s crimes.


    xie chengze began to investigate tan company, and tan shaojun¡­he had been paying attention to xie chengze since long ago.


    if xie chengze was in good health, tan shaojun and his father would never target xie company. however, tan shaojun accidentally met xie ruanxin and learned about xie chengze¡¯s health from xie ruanxin.


    xie chengze actually won¡¯t live long!


    the prosperity of xie company has a lot to do with xie chengze. if xie chengze dies, xie company will eventually fall into xie ruanxin¡¯s hands¡­they can easily get xie company!


    therefore, even though tan shaojun hated xie ruanxin, he still coaxed xie ruanxin.


    as for who he really likes, it¡¯s jiang mi.


    tan shaojun has also been in a good mood recently. lu yanzhou, who always competed for jiang mi¡¯s attention, was finally driven away by him. he also made progress on xie¡¯s side too.


    but today¡­


    tan shaojun looked at the photo in his hand and couldn¡¯t recover.


    xie ruanxin is a very brainless person. she likes to ask him for advice when things happen. a month ago, she told him about xie chengze¡¯s love affair.


    he thought it was impossible at the time and felt that xie ruanxin must have made a mistake.


    xie chengze was in poor health, and he might have dyed his hair to hide it. as for the roses in the car¡­maybe he simply liked roses.


    xie chengze is already thirty-eight years old. in the previous thirty-eight years, he had never been in love. now that his health is so bad, how could he fall in love suddenly.


    but xie ruanxin said so¡­tan shaojun still found someone to investigate.


    it was difficult to investigate xie chengze. the people he sent to investigate found nothing at first. they only gave him the exact information today.


    xie chengze is really in love, and his love partner is a man. he also knows this person, lu yanzhou.


    he knew that lu yanzhou liked jiang mi very much, so much that he was willing to give everything for jiang mi.


    he resents lu yanzhou, but sometimes, he feels a strange sense of satisfaction when he thinks that jiang mi loves him more than lu yanzhou, and even loves him without asking for anything.


    lu yanzhou has disappeared recently. he has been curious about where lu yanzhou went, so he went to find xie chengze?


    tan shaojun looked at the photo in his hand again.


    in the photo, lu yanzhou and xie chengze were holding hands, indescribably intimate, but tan shaojun didn¡¯t think that lu yanzhou would really get together with xie chengze in such a short period of time.


    there must be a reason for lu yanzhou to do this. as for the reason¡­does lu yanzhou want to get money from xie chengze to pay off his debt?


    lu yanzhou might even want to rely on xie chengze to deal with him! or stimulate jiang mi!


    tan shaojun is 31 this year. people often praise him for being young and promising, but compared with xie chengze, he is nothing.


    it is precisely because of this that he has always hated xie chengze.


    xie chengze has never been in love for so many years. now that he is so close to lu yanzhou, he must like lu yanzhou very much.


    the old house probably is on fire1people who fall in love when they are old and cannot be put out.


    at this time, if xie chengze knew that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t like him at all¡­how uncomfortable would he feel?


    can his body bear it?


    tan shaojun gave jiang mi the photos of lu yanzhou and xie chengze that night.


    jiang mi was stunned when he saw the photo.


    who is this man with lu yanzhou? how could lu yanzhou be with someone else?


    at this moment, jiang mi felt like he had lost something.


    ¡°jiang mi, i knew you had been looking for lu yanzhou, so i helped you look for him. however, when i found him, he was already with xie chengze, the president of xie company. he should have done this to pay off his debts, but this is not good for him or mr. xie,¡± tan shaojun said, ¡°go and persuade him to stop doing such things. i can help him pay back the debt he owes.¡±


    jiang mi nodded in a daze.


    tan shaojun added: ¡°wait. if you go to him directly, it may be too embarrassing for him, you should not go to him but go see xie chengze instead. xie chengze is a respectable person, if he knows that lu yanzhou likes someone, he will definitely break up with him.¡±


    with just a few words, tan shaojun coaxed jiang mi into a showdown with xie chengze.


    a few days later.


    xie chengze had to sign a contract with someone that day, so he didn¡¯t have lunch at the company at noon. instead, he went to a nearby private club.


    the food here was very exquisite, but as he ate it, he felt it wasn¡¯t as delicious as lu yanzhou¡¯s.


    in just two months, lu yanzhou has become a part of his life.


    halfway through the meal, xie chengze went to the toilet to use his insulin, but as soon as he walked out of the toilet, he was stopped.


    the person who stopped him was a cute boy who was much shorter than him, less than 1.7 meters tall, thin and with a baby face.


    xie chengze¡¯s first impression when he saw this child was that the young man¡¯s skin was really good and his eyelashes were really long.


    if he looks like this¡­forget it, lu yanzhou likes mature men.


    however, xie chengze had to admit that he envied the young man in front of him.


    the years are right and there is still plenty of time to waste.


    but¡­what was this person doing by stopping him here?


    xie chengze asked: ¡°kid, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°my¡­my name is jiang mi. do you know me?¡± jiang mi asked.


    xie chengze frowned slightly. if this person didn¡¯t say his name, he really didn¡¯t know that this person is jiang mi.


    his sister had said before that tan shaojun liked men. at that time, he felt that since tan shaojun liked men, he would kick him and choose a better one. unfortunately, his sister was still fighting for tan shaojun.


    his persuasion was in vain. he thought that as time went by, his sister would naturally wake up, but later he found out that there were other collaborations between his sister and tan shaojun.


    and jiang mi is the man tan shaojun likes, and he is also lu yanzhou¡¯s former friend ¡ª lu yanzhou has said that he no longer regards jiang mi as a friend.


    ¡°did lu yanzhou tell you about me? what did he say about me?¡± jiang mi asked.


    ¡°what do you want from me?¡± xie chengze asked. he didn¡¯t have a good impression of jiang mi. after all, this person did nothing when tan shaojun dealt with lu yanzhou.


    jiang mi glanced at xie chengze cautiously: ¡°that, can you break up with lu yanzhou?¡±


    xie chengze suspected that he had heard wrong, but jiang mi continued: ¡°lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t like you, he has no choice but to be with you. it must be very uncomfortable for him to be with you. he should not have lied to you¡­you should break up with him.¡±


    xie chengze was a little speechless, but he was not young anymore, so he wouldn¡¯t care about a child: ¡°how do you know he is uncomfortable?¡±


    lu yanzhou is obviously happy every day.


    ¡°brother yanzhou likes me, but i can¡¯t accept him¡­¡± halfway through jiang mi¡¯s words, he saw xie chengze looking at her calmly, as if looking at an ignorant child.


    xie chengze obviously didn¡¯t believe him and probably thought he was talking nonsense!


    jiang mi couldn¡¯t stand the look in xie chengze¡¯s eyes. he took out his mobile phone and showed xie chengze the chat history between him and lu yanzhou: ¡°i didn¡¯t lie to you! everything i said is true!¡±


    xie chengze didn¡¯t believe jiang mi¡¯s words. this jiang mi is tan shaojun¡¯s boyfriend, but he said that lu yanzhou likes him¡­what kind of mess is this!


    jiang mi wanted to show him the chat history but he didn¡¯t want to see it.


    however, even if he didn¡¯t want to see it, he still saw it. after looking at it, he frowned.


    what does this jiang mi want to do by forging chat records with lu yanzhou?


    is tan shaojun planning to do something?


    xie chengze thought so, so he took jiang mi¡¯s phone and looked at the chat records.


    lu yanzhou in it is simply a licking dog, but¡­this is not lu yanzhou¡¯s account at all.


    ¡°i also have a photo of us here.¡± jiang mi added, opening the photo album to show xie chengze the photo of lu yanzhou and him.


    there are many photos of them together, some of which were taken by jiang mi just to piss off tan shaojun, so they look very close.


    xie chengze froze.


    when xie chengze returned to the box, his face didn¡¯t look good.


    that jiang mi said a lot of random things, without any key points, but he still extracted the general meaning.


    jiang mi persuaded him to break up with lu yanzhou and asked him not to tell lu yanzhou what happened today.


    this person also felt that lu yanzhou was with him purely for money.


    lu yanzhou did not take his money, but the relationship between lu yanzhou and jiang mi seemed to be different from what lu yanzhou said.


    in fact, it¡¯s okay if lu yanzhou had liked jiang mi before. jiang mi was already with tan shaojun. it was normal for lu yanzhou to forget jiang mi when he was with him.


    but those chat records, and some of the things jiang mi said intentionally or unintentionally¡­


    xie chengze felt uneasy for no reason.


    he had never investigated lu yanzhou before, but at this moment, xie chengze suddenly wanted to know about lu yanzhou¡¯s past.


    xie chengze finally couldn¡¯t hold back and asked someon to go to the place where lu yanzhou worked before to ask about lu yanzhou¡¯s situation.


    if jiang mi lied to him, he would apologize to lu yanzhou then.


    if what jiang mi said was true¡­xie chengze still felt that jiang mi was lying.


    he took out his phone, took a look at it, and saw that lu yanzhou had sent him several messages.


    lu yanzhou has always cared about him and was very considerate, how could he not like him.


    but¡­how can a young man in his twenties be so considerate if he has never been in love?


    he is also good at cooking, knows how to arrange dates, and is also very good at kissing.


    xie chengze closed his eyes and then opened them again.


    that jiang mi must be lying to him.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t want to believe what jiang mi said, but after he asked someone to go to lu yanzhou¡¯s former colleagues to ask about lu yanzhou¡¯s situation, he knew a lot about jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s former colleagues said that lu yanzhou lived frugally and did not spend much money, and all the money he saved was spent on jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s former colleagues also said that lu yanzhou usually talks about jiang mi and always talks about making money so that jiang mi can live a good life.

 CH 206

    xie chengze and lu yanzhou are together everyday and talk about many things.


    however, lu yanzhou rarely talked about his past. when he did mention it, he would only say a few words.


    mentioning jiang mi¡­lu yanzhou was very unhappy when talking about jiang mi.


    because of this, xie chengze never took jiang mi seriously. when jiang mi came to see him, he thought it was ridiculous.


    but now lu yanzhou¡¯s former colleagues all say in unison that lu yanzhou is very good to jiang mi.


    xie chengze thought for a while, then asked people to continue the investigation. the scope of the investigation this time was not limited to lu yanzhou¡¯s former colleagues.


    thinking of that time when he went shopping with lu yanzhou, lu yanzhou once took out a membership card¡­xie chengze also added this.


    however, when facing lu yanzhou, xie chengze showed nothing.


    today happened to be the weekend, and lu yanzhou is taking xie chengze to the zoo.


    ever since he learned that xie chengze had never been to these places, he was keen to take xie chengze to visit one place after another.


    xie chengze got up early in the morning, put on the sportswear that lu yanzhou picked for him, put on a sun hat, then went out with lu yanzhou.


    when he arrived at the door, xie chengze asked: ¡°don¡¯t i need to bring anything?¡±


    lu yanzhou patted his backpack: ¡°no, i have brought everything.¡±


    lu yanzhou really brought everything. when visiting the zoo, no matter what xie chengze needs, he can provide it.


    even without xie chengze saying anything, he had already handed the things to xie chengze.


    seeing lu yanzhou like this, xie chengze couldn¡¯t help but curl up the corner of his mouth.


    lu yanzhou was really good to him. with lu yanzhou like this, it was impossible not to like him.


    however, lu yanzhou was so good at taking care of others¡­did he get it from someone else?


    xie chengze¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling strangely irritated.


    the two played at the zoo for a day. when they returned home in the evening, xie chengze took lu yanzhou¡¯s hand and said, ¡°yanzhou, do you want to sleep with me today?¡±


    he had invited lu yanzhou but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t agree, so he never mentioned this matter anymore.


    and now, it was his second time inviting lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou sighed: ¡°aze, your physical condition¡­let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡±


    he took care of xie chengze for a month so his health got better, but his physical condition was still not optimistic.


    if he was accidentally injured or something, it will take some time to heal.


    xie chengze was a little confused: ¡°wait a little longer?¡± his body will get worse the longer he waits, right?


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i have been taking care of your body recently. if you eat the food i cook and walk more with me, won¡¯t your body feel better?¡±


    this is true, but this cannot really make his body better.


    xie chengze wanted to say something more, but when he thought about this period, lu yanzhou went back to his room early every day and then didn¡¯t come out¡­he didn¡¯t say anything after all, he just smiled and said, ¡°then i¡¯m waiting for you to take care of my body.¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t worry, you will be fine.¡± lu yanzhou said. he currently has too little merit, but when his merit increases¡­not only will xie chengze¡¯s body recover, but his movements will also be much easier.


    xie chengze smiled at lu yanzhou, but after returning to his room, he rubbed his brows.


    he didn¡¯t want to believe jiang mi¡¯s words, but jiang mi¡¯s vow always appeared in his memory.


    in the next few days, xie chengze received more and more investigation materials.


    and this information¡­the more he received, the heavier his heart became.


    xie chengze was already prepared that lu yanzhou had liked jiang mi before, but he didn¡¯t expect that lu yanzhou would do so much for jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou said that he dropped out of school because he had no money, but at that time he could receive poverty subsidies and apply for student loans, so he could go to school.


    he didn¡¯t go to school because of jiang mi.


    for fourteen years, what lu yanzhou paid for jiang mi was even more shocking.


    basically all the money lu yanzhou made from sales in those years was spent on jiang mi.


    let¡¯s just talk about the store where lu yanzhou took out his membership card¡­according to the consumption records, 90% of the clothes lu yanzhou bought in that store were for jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t have many friends, but jiang mi had quite a few classmates and friends. according to these people, lu yanzhou was simply someone who would come and go at a moment¡¯s notice from jiang mi!


    lu yanzhou even fought with tan shaojun over jiang mi, and jiang mi lived with lu yanzhou for a long time!


    no, the place lu yanzhou rented before was actually jiang mi¡¯s home!


    there is no doubt that lu yanzhou likes jiang mi.


    even before coming to him¡­lu yanzhou was still paying for jiang mi. at that time, he was already in debt, but he even bought jiang mi valuable things!


    such a lu yanzhou, even if he doesn¡¯t like jiang mi¡­is it possible for him to fall in love with him at first sight?


    he and jiang mi are completely opposite types.


    lu yanzhou likes the young looking jiang mi so much, how come when it comes to him, he suddenly likes those mature ones?


    besides, could lu yanzhou and jiang mi really let go of their more than 10 years relationship?


    xie chengze didn¡¯t think much about it before, but now looking back, he suddenly noticed that there were many problems between him and lu yanzhou.


    their relationship developed too fast.


    their first meeting was deliberately planned by him, and probably the same for lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou, what do you want to do?


    xie chengze almost immediately thought of lu yanzhou¡¯s disgust and hatred for tan shaojun.


    lu yanzhou wanted him to help deal with tan shaojun?


    if what he expected was true, jiang mi choose tan shaojun because tan shaojun was richer than lu yanzhou.


    if tan shaojun has no money¡­then will jiang mi return to lu yanzhou?


    is this lu yanzhou¡¯s goal?


    xie chengze put down all the information he got and contacted yaoshi.


    the big boss who had contacted yaoshi before contacted yaoshi again and¡­provided some more technologies.


    not only that, the other party¡¯s request this time is still for them to donate money.


    the person who contacted that person asked xie chengze what to do next.


    of course xie chengze satisfied the other party.


    these technologies are all things that their country has been choked by other countries. if yaoshi can develop them¡­yaoshi will not be the only one who will benefit.


    on the other side, lu yanzhou sighed.


    in order to make money by selling technology, he even gave up sleeping with xie chengze ¡ª even if they didn¡¯t do anything, they could still sleep together.


    with such a situation, he will make sure to rip off yaoshi.


    lu yanzhou also thought about telling xie chengze about the deal with yaoshi, but this kind of technology is also good for the xie family. if xie chengze wants it too¡­he can¡¯t take xie chengze¡¯s money. if he donates it all after taking it, it will also make people doubt.


    he suddenly has so many skills, it¡¯s very unrealistic and easily arouses suspicion.


    it¡¯s better to communicate with others from beginning to end using a non-existent identity.


    lu yanzhou went to work at the company as usual the next day, and then learned that the bonuses for the projects they had completed previously had been paid out.


    the bonus totaled over one million. although lu yanzhou did not participate in the early stage, he helped a lot in the later stage and was able to get a lot of it.


    in addition, their department also plans to go out for a dinner to celebrate.


    ¡°xiao lu, you must go to this dinner party,¡± manager zhang asked lu yanzhou specifically, ¡°you can also bring your boyfriend with you, and we can all have a party together.¡±


    lu yanzhou said, ¡°i will go to the dinner party, but my boyfriend may not be free.¡±


    ¡°we are going to eat at the luxury buffet this time. it would be a pity if he doesn¡¯t come.¡± said manager zhang.


    lu yanzhou smiled, turned around and sent a message to xie chengze about this: ¡°aze, manager zhang knows that i have a boyfriend and has asked me to take my family member, do you want to come?¡±


    lu yanzhou was mostly joking when he wrote this.


    he felt that xie chengze would probably not go, after all, it would scare manager zhang and the others.


    xie chengze was stunned when he saw the message.


    lu yanzhou and his department had completed a project. he knew that it was normal to go to a dinner party, but bringing family members¡­


    if it had been before, xie chengze would definitely not go.


    but thinking about what was bothering him these days, about lu yanzhou and jiang mi, xie chengze replied: ¡°can i go?¡±


    ¡°of course you can come. aze, do you want to come?¡± lu yanzhou was a little surprised.


    ¡°i want to.¡±


    when he learned that xie chengze also wanted to come together, lu yanzhou immediately said, ¡°then come over after work, we will go together then.¡±


    xie chengze suddenly wanted to go, probably because he wanted to make their relationship public.


    if he thinks about it, they have been together for almost two months, so there is no harm in making their relationship public.


    as for tan shaojun¡­after his prompting, xie chengze was already very wary of tan shaojun, so lu yanzhou was not as worried as he was at first.


    ¡°okay, i¡¯ll come over later.¡± xie chengze replied.


    after receiving xie chengze¡¯s reply, lu yanzhou said to manager zhang: ¡°my boyfriend is free and will come with us later.¡±


    manager zhang was very happy: ¡°that¡¯s good. tell him to eat more when the time comes!¡±


    ¡°i will.¡± lu yanzhou smiled.


    there was not much work in the department today. as the end of working hours is approaching, they all gather together to chat and share some belated gossip.


    ¡°i heard that mr. xie is in love!¡±


    ¡°i heard that too.¡±


    ¡°mr. xie is really handsome. i don¡¯t know what his girlfriend is like.¡±


    ¡°mr. xie is worth a lot of money. i really envy mr. xie¡¯s girlfriend.¡±


    ¡­


    as lu yanzhou listened, he suddenly felt that it was indeed necessary to disclose his relationship with xie chengze.


    xie chengze always feels that no one likes him because he is old, but in fact¡­there are so many people who covet xie chengze!


    he wants everyone to know that xie chengze is his!


    everyone guessed and thought that xie chengze¡¯s girlfriend should be a great beauty and probably very talented, which could make mr. xie, who has been single for many years, attracted to her.


    as they were talking, one of lu yanzhou¡¯s colleagues touched the top of his head with an expression of sorrow and said: ¡°speaking of girlfriend, i really want a girlfriend.¡±


    another person sighed: ¡°it¡¯s not that easy to have a girlfriend. girls nowadays are all about looks.¡±


    hearing this, the man who wanted a girlfriend looked at lu yanzhou: ¡°i really envy brother lu, he is handsome and capable.¡±


    somehow, the topic changed to lu yanzhou. someone suddenly asked, ¡°brother lu, will your boyfriend be here later?¡±


    ¡°yes,¡± lu yanzhou said.


    ¡°is he handsome?¡± the man asked.


    ¡°of course.¡± lu yanzhou was very proud.


    ¡°he is handsome and can cook. brother lu, you are really a winner in life!¡± everyone envied lu yanzhou. someone even said: ¡°i wish i could find a girlfriend who is the girl version of brother lu¡¯s boyfriend!¡±


    ¡°that may be difficult.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°brother lu, don¡¯t underestimate people,¡± the man said, ¡°i¡¯m also very popular with girls!¡±


    while everyone was talking, someone suddenly came in from outside.


    manager zhang raised his head and was shocked ¡ª it was xie chengze!


    those who were gossiping about xie chengze just now quickly pretended to be working hard. manager zhang also stepped forward: ¡°mr. xie, why are you here?¡±

 CH 207

    xie company is very big. in fact, except for manager zhang, the people in lu yanzhou¡¯s department rarely see xie chengze and have never even spoken to xie chengze before. now that xie chengze suddenly appears, they are all like quails, shrinking their head, not daring to move.


    some people who have turned off their computers are even more regretful ¡ª they can¡¯t pretend to work hard now even if they want to!


    their workstation is not even here, so the people who moved a stool over to chat were even more embarrassed. they wished there was a hole in front of them that they could crawl into now.


    manager zhang also felt guilty. it was a mess here. xie chengze suddenly came over to see it, he didn¡¯t know if he would have a bad impression.


    xie chengze glanced at manager zhang, with no hint of displeasure on his face: ¡°is your department going out for a dinner party today to celebrate? i¡¯ll go too.¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, you are going too?¡± manager zhang was shocked. why did president xie suddenly come to join their small department dinner?!


    the corner of xie chengze¡¯s mouth curled up: ¡°i am a family member.¡±


    ¡°what?¡± manager zhang suspected that he heard it wrong.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s colleagues also felt that they had heard wrong. mr. xie a family member? whose family?


    wait, the key point is¡­their department did not include family members by default for this dinner party. that is to say, lu yanzhou made indelible contributions to this project, and everyone knew that he had a date with his boyfriend every day, so he was allowed to bring him to the party.


    what they eat this time is a buffet in itself, so it won¡¯t make anyone uncomfortable.


    mr. xie¡­how did he become a family member?


    when xie chengze came in, lu yanzhou¡¯s attention was already all on xie chengze.


    xie chengze was still wearing the same clothes as when he went out in the morning, but his hair had obviously been taken care of. he was standing there with a handsome appearance and a strong aura. even if he looked sick, he could not be ignored.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°manager zhang, aze is my family member.¡±


    manager zhang: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s colleague: ¡°¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze message everyday, and sometimes they would even call each other if it was break time.


    they had heard lu yanzhou call his boyfriend ¡®aze¡¯.


    but they never expected that the ¡®aze¡¯ in lu yanzhou¡¯s mouth actually referred to xie chengze!


    isn¡¯t that boyfriend of lu yanzhou a coquettish person who can also cook? how is it mr. xie?


    the key is that mr. xie actually came to such a dinner!


    manager zhang¡¯s neck was already stiff. he turned his head with difficulty to look at lu yanzhou, his mind seemed to be in a blur.


    isn¡¯t lu yanzhou the technical boss that xie chengze poached from outside? that¡¯s why mr. xie always asked him to take more care of him.


    xie chengze was in a very good mood when he saw lu yanzhou admitting his identity. he looked at manager zhang and the others gently: ¡°it¡¯s time to clock out, should we go?¡±


    manager zhang nodded quickly: ¡°yes, yes, yes.¡±


    there were quite a lot of people in their department, so they couldn¡¯t all fit in one elevator. many people didn¡¯t want to squeeze into an elevator with xie chengze, so they all went down separately.


    when xie chengze and lu yanzhou disappeared in the elevator, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    someone couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°i didn¡¯t expect lu yanzhou¡¯s boyfriend to be mr. xie¡­¡±


    as soon as this person¡¯s words came out, everyone came to their senses.


    ¡°i actually wanted a girlfriend version of his boyfriend before¡­i don¡¯t deserve it!¡±


    ¡°so, mr. xie didn¡¯t have a girlfriend but a boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°brother lu is talented and handsome, he is a good match with mr. xie.¡±


    ¡­


    manager zhang was in a daze the whole time walking with lu yanzhou and the others.


    it was xie chengze who started a conversation with him: ¡°old zhang, it¡¯s a bother for you to take care of yanzhou these days.¡±


    manager zhang quickly said: ¡°it¡¯s no bother, no bother.¡±


    xie chengze originally wanted to talk with manager zhang, but when he saw that he looked so frightened that he couldn¡¯t say anything more, he felt helpless.


    lu yanzhou laughed and shook xie chengze¡¯s hand: ¡°aze, with a boyfriend like you, manager zhang wouldn¡¯t dare not take care of me.¡±


    manager zhang quickly answered: ¡°yes, yes!¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    manager zhang was extremely lucky. fortunately, he chose a buffet for this dinner party.


    people in his department were not very social, so he chose the buffet, and now¡­thanks to the buffet, he didn¡¯t have to eat with mr. xie.


    however, even if he didn¡¯t have to eat with mr. xie, he still couldn¡¯t relax when he saw mr. xie and lu yanzhou eating together sweetly.


    when he joined the company, mr. xie was already the person in charge of xie company. in his eyes, mr. xie was very powerful.


    such a powerful mr. xie and the cute boyfriend lu yanzhou talked about were actually the same person.


    he was a little afraid to look directly at mr. xie.


    during the meal, lu yanzhou gave priority to taking care of xie chengze.


    he brought xie chengze all kinds of things that xie chengze could eat and liked, so that xie chengze could sit and eat comfortably without getting up.


    seeing lu yanzhou busying, xie chengze felt mixed.


    lu yanzhou is so good at taking care of people, he probably got it from taking care of jiang mi a lot.


    but now lu yanzhou is taking care of him.


    lu yanzhou took good care of him.


    xie chengze has been thinking a lot these days. he has also considered whether to have a showdown with lu yanzhou.


    he also has some dark thoughts, such as locking up lu yanzhou and not allowing lu yanzhou to leave him.


    but after thinking about it, he finally decided not to do it.


    he likes lu yanzhou.


    from the beginning, he felt that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t like him, and he even accepted it. in that case, why bother to delve into everything that happened between lu yanzhou and jiang mi now?


    no matter who is in lu yanzhou¡¯s heart, it¡¯s good that lu yanzhou is by his side now.


    he had some intentions towards lu yanzhou, so it was normal for lu yanzhou to have some intentions towards him too.


    besides, he will be able to live for another ten years at most, it doesn¡¯t matter if lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t like him. thus, even if he dies, lu yanzhou won¡¯t be too sad.


    as for him¡­


    when lu yanzhou is by his side, he will definitely treat lu yanzhou well. if lu yanzhou wants to leave, he will not force it.


    however, lu yanzhou wanted him to help deal with tan shaojun, but such gentleness and consideration were not enough.


    he wanted to get lu yanzhou.


    in every sense.


    now making his relationship with lu yanzhou public is the first step.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t eat much and lu yanzhou was also very restrained. after the two had eaten, they said good-bye to manager zhang and the others and went home together.


    after getting in the car, lu yanzhou handed xie chengze a bottle of water: ¡°aze, drink some water.¡± xie chengze didn¡¯t drink anything when he ate, so he must be thirsty.


    xie chengze was indeed thirsty. he took the water and took a sip. he looked at lu yanzhou with a smile and said, ¡°yanzhou, you are really good at taking care of people.¡±


    lu yanzhou said, ¡°if i don¡¯t know how to take care of people, how can i take care of you?¡±


    xie chengze couldn¡¯t suppress the smile on his lips. regardless of whether lu yanzhou was sincere or not, falling in love with lu yanzhou was really a pleasant thing.


    after returning home, xie chengze asked again: ¡°yanzhou, do you want to sleep with me?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, didn¡¯t i tell you? you are not in good health and need to recuperate¡­¡±


    ¡°my body is like this, can it still be better? it will only get worse and worse¡­¡± xie chengze¡¯s eyes showed loneliness.


    ¡°aze, don¡¯t be so pessimistic. haven¡¯t you been feeling better recently? you might be able to recover from your illness.¡± lu yanzhou felt very uncomfortable when he heard what xie chengze said.


    xie chengze sighed: ¡°you don¡¯t need to comfort me. i know my own body. do you¡­dislike me for being old?¡±


    lu yanzhou rarely saw xie chengze showing such an expression.


    in this world, xie chengze has a good family background and is very talented, but he has such low self-esteem, which makes people feel more distressed.


    lu yanzhou still had things to do in the evening, but xie chengze looked so fragile at the moment¡­lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t care about anything else.


    ¡°aze, how could i dislike you for being old!¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°i don¡¯t know how many years i can live. i always want to cherish every day with you, but¡­¡± xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou gently, his eyes full of loss.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t care about anything else and hurriedly went to kiss xie chengze: ¡°aze, i¡¯m sorry i didn¡¯t consider your mood before¡­i really love you, i just don¡¯t want to hurt you¡­¡±


    ¡°i¡¯m not afraid,¡± xie chengze held lu yanzhou¡¯s hand and chuckled, ¡°i don¡¯t want to die a virgin.¡±


    after spending two months with lu yanzhou, xie chengze also knew something about lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou is not a bad person.


    for example¡­maybe because he felt that he had been cheated, lu yanzhou was not willing to take his money.


    this kind of lu yanzhou should be able to take soft things rather than hard ones.


    if he shows weakness, he will naturally achieve his goal.


    he didn¡¯t do this before because he didn¡¯t want to use such means to force lu yanzhou, but now¡­it doesn¡¯t matter if he forces him.


    to lu yanzhou, the xie chengze of this world is mature and stable, and very tolerant of others. now he shows such an expression and says such words¡­


    lu yanzhou can no longer let go: ¡°aze, i¡¯m sorry.¡±


    he had always thought about waiting until xie chengze was well before taking the next step, but he never thought that doing so might make xie chengze sad.


    lu yanzhou moved into the master bedroom without hesitation and cautiously made love with xie chengze.


    fortunately, he had experience¡­


    however, xie chengze couldn¡¯t help but sigh ¡ª lu yanzhou should have experience.


    he felt a little unwilling, but lu yanzhou was very kind to him and always took good care of his feelings, so it made him unable to get angry.


    he was just a little jealous of jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou actually took care of him for more than ten years.


    what¡¯s even more annoying is that jiang mi didn¡¯t know how to cherish lu yanzhou when he got him, and finally chose tan shaojun.


    lu yanzhou was so careful that everything went as usual for xie chengze the next day, with only a slight discomfort.


    however, lu yanzhou still kept telling him: ¡°aze, remember to get more rest today¡­¡±


    even the meals lu yanzhou prepared for xie chengze were very light.


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou with a smile, and said as if unintentionally: ¡°you are so good to me, if you leave me one day¡­¡±


    ¡°i will not leave you.¡± lu yanzhou did not hesitate.


    xie chengze smiled, didn¡¯t say any more. he took out his mobile phone and turned it on.


    last night, in order not to disturb him, he turned off his mobile phone.


    as soon as he turned on his phone, xie chengze saw a lot of messages ¨C yaoshi contacted him and said that that boss wanted to give yaoshi a new technology. last night, he did not contact yaoshi at the agreed time.


    at the same time, lu yanzhou suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something¡­

 CH 208

    lu yanzhou felt a little guilty about leaving them alone.


    however, every time he contacted yaoshi, he would put layers of ¡®vest¡¯ on himself to prevent yaoshi¡¯s people from discovering his ip address. under such circumstances, he could not use his mobile phone to contact them.


    it can only wait.


    lu yanzhou went out with xie chengze and did not separate after arriving at the company. they entered the elevator and went upstairs together.


    yesterday, xie chengze went to a department dinner with him. his relationship with xie chengze was probably already known to everyone, so there was no need to hide it anymore.


    lu yanzhou was right. his relationship with xie chengze was no longer a secret in xie company.


    yesterday, one of his colleagues took a photo of him and xie chengze having dinner together and sent it to the company group. as of this morning, at least half of xie¡¯s people had seen the photo.


    everyone has been curious about mr. xie¡¯s mysterious other half, and he¡¯s actually an ordinary employee of their company!


    that employee is also a man too!


    but this guy is really handsome!


    ¡°i know him. he is a new employee in old zhang¡¯s department. he wears suits and ties every day. he is quite conspicuous among the geeks in plaid shirts.¡±


    ¡°i have also seen him. he looks like a celebrity. he is very handsome.¡±


    ¡°he gets off work early every day, it turns out he has a backer¡­¡±


    ¡°get off work early? there¡¯s truly a lot of people who come to the xie company to hang out.¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou has an outstanding appearance. basically, people who have met him will recognize him. his photos have just been exposed, so many people expressed their impressions of him in the group.


    speaking of this¡­everyone thinks that this is a person similar to xie ruanxin, who relies on his background to get by in the company.


    but soon, lu yanzhou¡¯s colleagues spoke for him: ¡°brother lu and xie ruanxin are different!¡±


    ¡°brother lu is a technical boss. the people in our department admire him the most.¡±


    ¡°you don¡¯t know brother lu, so don¡¯t make random guesses.¡±


    ¡°brother lu¡¯s abilities are beyond the imagination of most people. anyway, everyone in our department wants to kneel down to him.¡±


    ¡­


    so this lu yanzhou is so powerful? however, thinking about it, if lu yanzhou really only has his face, how can mr. xie, who has been single for many years, like him?


    even if mr. xie likes him, he will not arrange for him to enter his company.


    this is public. however, privately, there are other gossips circulating: ¡°did you know? mr. xie cooks for lu yanzhou every day!¡±


    ¡°mr. xie is quite romantic and dates lu yanzhou every day.¡±


    ¡°our department had a dinner and when mr. xie was notified, he came immediately. he and lu yanzhou have a really good relationship.¡±


    ¡­


    therefore, as soon as lu yanzhou and xie chengze showed up at the company, they were surrounded.


    lu yanzhou has experienced strong winds and waves and doesn¡¯t care about such trivial matters. xie chengze is also very calm. he even sent lu yanzhou to where lu yanzhou works: ¡°yanzhou, come see me at noon, let¡¯s have lunch together.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou immediately agreed.


    xie chengze smiled and then left.


    lu yanzhou, who was watching xie chengze leave, turned around and saw all his colleagues looking at him with admiration.


    even manager zhang said: ¡°brother lu, you are worthy of being brother lu!¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± manager zhang, you don¡¯t have to be so polite.


    manager zhang prepared a single room for lu yanzhou as a studio some time ago.


    this single room is quite small, and the partitions are made of glass. plus, people come to see lu yanzhou from time to time¡­it¡¯s always lively inside.


    but today, no one came to see lu yanzhou at all. if they had work, they would contact him online.


    go and talk to the boss¡¯wife¡­their heart is scared.


    lu yanzhou is very happy. after making various preparations, he tried to contact yaoshi¡¯s side: ¡°sorry, i was busy last night and couldn¡¯t access the internet.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s okay, we¡¯re not in a hurry.¡± there was always someone at yaoshi¡¯s side that will wait and immediately reply.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t waste any time and sent the information he had prepared to the other party.


    the technologies he sells are all written bit by bit by himself, so he can only sell them bit by bit.


    after transmitting the information, lu yanzhou said: ¡°the price will be according to what we have discussed before. it is still the old rule, donate it for me. the money must be used in practical ways.¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t worry, we have arranged special people to manage these funds!¡± yaoshi was very sincere.


    the continuous flow of merits made lu yanzhou know that yaoshi was not lying to him. asking yaoshi to help him donate money not only ensures that the money will be received, but also does not reveal his identity. it couldn¡¯t be more perfect: ¡°thank you!¡±


    ¡°you¡¯re welcome, this is what we should do,¡± the other party sent another message, ¡°mr. l, we have something to ask here.¡±


    ¡°what is it?¡±


    ¡°can we resell these technologies?¡±


    ¡°yes, but only domestically.¡± lu yanzhou replied.


    ¡°thank you mr. l. if you have any requests, just tell us!¡± yaoshi¡¯s people were very happy.


    they ask this specifically because there are state-owned enterprises that want a certain technology.


    since lu yanzhou is so easy to talk to¡­they now have more business to discuss with those state-owned enterprises.


    after finishing what he had forgotten last night, lu yanzhou started busy with work and writing new technologies.


    he also took the time to send a sum of money to the orphanage where the original owner had lived since childhood.


    the orphanage where the original owner lived was in good condition and there was no shortage of money, but for the original owner, the life in the orphanage was much better than the life he lived with his relatives in his early years. he had no family, so he simply made the orphanage his home. he saw that he would transfer 3,000 yuan back every month.


    just like how his colleagues honor their parents, he also honors the orphanage.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t neglect this matter, and even gave them more.


    while lu yanzhou was busy, on the other side, xie ruanxin felt something was wrong.


    the people around her exchanged glances from time to time, and occasionally whispered something, not sure what they were talking about.


    one of her colleagues even took out their mobile phone and showed it to secretary zhang, the oldest person in the secretariat and in charge of the secretariat.


    xie ruanxin¡¯s first reaction was that they were talking bad about her. after thinking of this, she immediately became angry: ¡°what are you talking about? why are you so secretive? why don¡¯t you say it to me!¡±


    with that, xie ruanxin quickly stepped forward and grabbed the colleague¡¯s cell phone.


    then she saw a photo of xie chengze having dinner with a handsome man.


    it didn¡¯t seem like they were talking about her¡­xie ruanxin frowned and asked, ¡°who is this person?¡±


    ¡°miss xie, this is mr. xie¡¯s boyfriend.¡± the person who had their phone snatched was a little helpless.


    ¡°xie chengze¡¯s boyfriend?¡± xie ruanxin was so shocked that she was speechless. she was afraid that xie chengze would get married and have children, so she tossed and turned for a while, and accidentally offended xie chengze. as a result, xie chengze fell in love with a man?


    this was originally a good thing, but she had already offended xie chengze, and talking about boyfriend¡­made her very angry.


    xie ruanxin threw the phone she snatched onto the table with a bang and turned around to find xie chengze.


    it¡¯s such an embarrassment that xie chengze got a boyfriend. why is he still occupying the xie family¡¯s property and not letting go?


    however, when xie ruanxin arrived at xie chengze¡¯s office door, she was stopped.


    xie chengze had told his assistant before that xie ruanxin was not allowed in.


    xie ruanxin couldn¡¯t get in, so she could only return to her seat: ¡°what¡¯s going on with xie chengze? he is okay with making it known that he got a boyfriend, don¡¯t he feel embarrassed.¡±


    regardless of whether they had work on hand or not, everyone lowered their heads and looked busy. no one cares about her at all.


    in fact, when xie ruanxin first came to the secretariat, they thought about making friends with xie ruanxin. after all, xie ruanxin was a shareholder of the company.


    however, a person who casually grabs other people¡¯s mobile phones and throws them away at will¡­if it¡¯s not someone who is starving to death waiting for the rice to fall into the pot, or has some ambition to get big benefits from her, otherwise who would be willing to serve her?


    isn¡¯t this looking for trouble for yourself?


    xie ruanxin didn¡¯t know about xie chengze and lu yanzhou because she didn¡¯t see the company group message, but now she went to the company group to take a look.


    only then did she realize that lu yanzhou was actually an employee of their company, and he also arrived late and left early in the company.


    this is her company!


    xie ruanxin went to the software research and development department angrily.


    when xie ruanxin arrived, it was almost lunch time. lu yanzhou packed his things and was about to go out to find xie chengze for dinner.


    as a result, as soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into xie ruanxin.


    ¡°if you don¡¯t work hard, what are you doing here?¡± xie ruanxin frowned and asked when she saw lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know why: ¡°miss xie, you didn¡¯t work hard either.¡±


    ¡°how can i be the same as you?¡± xie ruan looked lu yanzhou up and down, ¡°how did xie chengze fall in love with you? you have nothing but your look, and you don¡¯t even focus on work¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± don¡¯t xie ruanxin feel embarrassed saying this? this is obviously xie ruanxin! if nothing else, he has always done his job very well.


    being ignored by xie chengze during this period, xie ruanxin was already withholding her anger. at this moment, she poured all her anger on lu yanzhou: ¡°besides, being with a man, don¡¯t you dislike it?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i like men. it¡¯s better than you stalking a man who likes a man.¡±


    xie ruanxin¡¯s face darkened immediately. tan shaojun secretly raised a man, and many people knew about it, so she was often scolded by her sisters because of it.


    but when the person in front of her said it, she still felt extremely ashamed.


    xie chengze actually told this person such a thing. it was too much. did he not regard her as his sister at all?


    seeing that xie ruanxin was angry, lu yanzhou said, ¡°ms. xie is blocking my way, do you want me to tell your love story?¡±


    xie ruanxin¡¯s face changed drastically, then she left without looking back.


    manager zhang and others: ¡°¡­¡± isn¡¯t lu yanzhou too brave? how dare you say such things to xie ruanxin!


    ¡°little lu, that¡¯s mr. xie¡¯s sister, a shareholder of xie company¡­¡± manager zhang said cautiously, but couldn¡¯t help but start gossiping ¡ª it turns out that miss xie likes a gay? he remembered that miss xie liked tan shaojun¡­


    damn it, it turns out that tan shaojun also likes men?


    lu yanzhou laughed: ¡°it¡¯s okay, mr. xie won¡¯t trouble me¡­manager zhang, i¡¯m going to eat. i¡¯ll be back later.¡±


    lu yanzhou went to find xie chengze.


    there were two assistants around xie chengze. they were both xie chengze¡¯s confidants and they all knew about lu yanzhou¡¯s existence. when they saw lu yanzhou coming, they immediately let him into xie chengze¡¯s office.


    in the office, xie chengze had already had lunch heated up. as soon as lu yanzhou entered, he smiled and called lu yanzhou over to eat.


    during the meal, lu yanzhou told him about xie ruanxin coming to see him.


    ¡°don¡¯t worry about her, i don¡¯t have a good relationship with her.¡± xie chengze said.


    ¡°aze, if you don¡¯t have a good relationship with her, you must be careful with her. tan shaojun is very good at coaxing people and may coax her into dealing with you.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze smiled bitterly: ¡°she will still deal with me without being coaxed.¡±


    xie chengze has always been proud and disdains using tricks, but according to his observation, lu yanzhou is the kind of person who will pity the weak.


    he wanted lu yanzhou¡¯s attention, so showing weakness was a good idea.


    even if lu yanzhou didn¡¯t like him, he still hoped that lu yanzhou would pay more attention to him and worry less about jiang mi.


    xie chengze told lu yanzhou about xie ruanxin¡¯s situation.


    lu yanzhou was stunned after hearing this.


    he was wondering how there could be so much love brain like the original owner. xie ruanxin wanted to cooperate with the tan to get xie company in the first place?


    it¡¯s a pity that in the end, she failed to draw water from the bamboo basket and attracted the wolf into the house.


    according to what xie chengze said, xie ruanxin and her mother were actually quite gullible. it was alright if they only ate and drank, but they wanted to do something big¡­it was normal for them to go bankrupt.


    ¡°if we can bring down the tan family, she will no longer have anyone to rely on, so she will definitely settle down.¡± lu yanzhou suddenly said.


    xie chengze was stunned when he heard this.


    what lu yanzhou is thinking about now is to get rid of the tan family?


    but this is normal¡­lu yanzhou came to him with the ultimate goal of dealing with tan shaojun.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what xie chengze was thinking. he was very busy during this period. he was having dates with xie chengze and earning merit too.


    therefore, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to the tan family.


    now that he had talked with xie chengze, he came back to his senses and suddenly realized that if tan was gone, it would really be over. he would no longer have to worry about xie chengze being hurt.


    as for how to bring down the tan family¡­


    maybe he can ask yaoshi to help? if he could make contact with the officials, he really wouldn¡¯t have to worry about anything.


    lu yanzhou began to think about it. when xie chengze saw this, he leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth: ¡°what are you thinking about?¡±


    ¡°i miss you!¡± lu yanzhou laughed, hugged xie chengze, kissed him, and asked xie chengze: ¡°aze, do you feel uncomfortable today?¡±


    ¡°a little bit but it¡¯s okay.¡± said xie chengze.


    a little bit is good. lu yanzhou helped xie chengze rub his waist: ¡°aze, we still have to be more restrained in the future.¡±


    xie chengze chuckled: ¡°but i like it very much, don¡¯t you like it?¡± looking at what happened last night, lu yanzhou probably like it too.


    he was not in good health, so lu yanzhou was very restrained throughout the whole process, fearing that he would not feel comfortable.


    look at it this way¡­lu yanzhou is really a good person. there is nothing inappropriate in taking care of him.


    ¡°of course i like it, but your body is the most important thing.¡± lu yanzhou reluctantly kissed the corner of xie chengze¡¯s eyes.


    xie chengze probably did this because he felt that he wouldn¡¯t live long, but he knew that was not the case.


    after xie chengze¡¯s illness was cured, xie chengze will be in good health, and with the help of merit¡­there would be no problem for xie chengze to live a long life.


    lu yanzhou returned to his department after lunch.


    and the fact that he and xie chengze had lunch together naturally aroused heated discussion in xie¡¯s company group.


    xie chengze is in poor health, but not many people know about it, and he wasn¡¯t married all these years. in fact, there are many speculations, and some people have long suspected that he likes men.


    now that his relationship with lu yanzhou has been exposed, everyone has a feeling that this is indeed the case.


    tan shaojun naturally also got the news.


    this city is neither small nor big.


    at least, tan shaojun still has many ways to meet xie chengze.


    xie chengze went out to meet friends that day and met tan shaojun.


    xie chengze is having a good time these days.


    after lu yanzhou moved into his room, he never moved out again, and he was so considerate to him that he looked much better.


    the only thing that made him depressed was probably when lu yanzhou had nothing to do, he would be watching the news related to tan company, and still thinking about destroying tan.


    xie chengze chose to indulge and even actively studied how to deal with the tan.


    he had already obtained lu yanzhou, so he should naturally get something in return.


    actually, if he thinks about it carefully, lu yanzhou is pretty good like this.


    he doesn¡¯t have long to live anymore. being together with lu yanzhou, wait until lu yanzhou gets what he wants and break up with him, and then live the rest of his life well¡­he will not live this life in vain.


    if lu yanzhou really loved him, he would worry that lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t bear his departure.


    secretly, he didn¡¯t want lu yanzhou to see him getting old.


    now he just wants to cherish every day with lu yanzhou.


    it was rare for xie chengze to come out, so everyone came to greet him and said the same thing: ¡°mr. xie, long time no see! you look much younger.¡±


    xie chengze smiled and greeted them.


    he does look a lot younger. being with young people makes his mentality much younger and he has the vitality of young people.


    not to mention anything else, he has been to all the dating places that young people go to nowadays, so he has also played many of the things that young people play.


    it¡¯s really good.


    tan shaojun came here at this moment.


    seeing xie chengze, he greeted him then said casually, ¡°i heard that mr. xie has been in love recently? a boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°yes.¡± xie chengze smiled.


    ¡°mr. xie, you have to be careful. nowadays a lot of young people look for rich people, not for anything else, just for money.¡± tan shaojun meant to say that lu yanzhou had already paid back the money, and if there¡¯s nothing unexpected, that money should be from xie chengze.


    xie chengze was very calm: ¡°are you talking about jiang mi? you should be more careful. he is an orphan. he used my yanzhou¡¯s money to package himself into a young master. after he found a rich boyfriend, he turned against him and refused to recognize him¡­mr. tan must be careful.¡±


    tan shaojun didn¡¯t expect that the fire would burn him. his smile disappeared from his face.


    ¡°what are you two talking about?¡± at this time, a potbellied boss came over.


    ¡°there was a young man who came from an orphanage and fell in love with mr. tan. he also said that he loved mr. tan as a person, not mr. tan¡¯s money. he kept saying that he truly loved mr. tan.¡± xie chengze said with a smile.


    the boss immediately said: ¡°mr. tan, you can¡¯t trust this. how many people in this world don¡¯t love money? in fact, it¡¯s better if they make it clear that they are after money. i¡¯m afraid of meeting someone like this who keeps saying they don¡¯t want money¡­mr. tan, aren¡¯t you dating miss xie? if they don¡¯t care about money, how can they still accept a mistress¡¯s identity? or maybe they want mr. tan gentle and considerate love?¡±


    xie ruanxin has always regarded herself as tan shaojun¡¯s fianc¨¦e, and tan shaojun also didn¡¯t deny it.


    after the boss came over and heard what xie chengze said, he thought it was xie chengze, the brother-in-law, who wanted to hit tan shaojun, so he naturally followed xie chengze¡¯s wishes and hit tan shaojun.


    in the circle, tan shaojun¡¯s temper is recognized as bad. if the person really doesn¡¯t care about money, why would they tolerate him?


    xie chengze also said: ¡°yes, that person came from the orphanage, but while he was studying, his food and clothing were not cheap. he could spend tens of thousands a month, all of which were supported by someone else, but mr. tan still felt that he was so pure.¡±


    the boss immediately echoed: ¡°mr. tan, do you really think so? you don¡¯t have a good eye for people.¡±


    tan shaojun couldn¡¯t stand it anymore: ¡°mr. xie, you found a man who owed others a lot of money and only graduated from high school. you really have good vision!¡±


    xie chengze smiled: ¡°the person in my family had a high score in the college entrance examination. he had no money to study and didn¡¯t ask for support. he found a job by himself and earned half a million yuan a year in his early twenties. he also taught himself programming and joined xie¡¯s software development department. it didn¡¯t take long for him to be recognized by everyone in the department. i appreciate people like this.¡±


    xie chengze once thought that lu yanzhou was just messing around in the software development department.


    however, that time when he went to the buffet and saw other people¡¯s attitudes towards lu yanzhou, he knew that he was wrong.


    lu yanzhou is very capable.


    this is not surprising. if lu yanzhou was incompetent, how could he have so much money to give jiang mi when he was an orphan?


    lu yanzhou¡¯s original proposal to join the software development department seemed to have been well thought out.


    xie chengze verbally expressed his fondness for lu yanzhou. xie chengze never had a lover before¡­that boss could only bless xie chengze: ¡°mr. xie have a boyfriend? with a boyfriend like yours, his future achievement will not be bad.¡±


    this boss is much older than xie chengze. he has also climbed up from the bottom. there are many people like him in their circle.


    just by listening to xie chengze¡¯s description, he knew that xie chengze¡¯s boyfriend would have a good future.


    those who dare to venture, fight hard, endure hardships, and know how to seize opportunities like xie chengze¡¯s boyfriend will definitely do well.


    ¡°thank you for your good advice.¡± xie chengze smiled.


    when tan shaojun saw xie chengze smiling happily, he felt as if he had been slapped several times.


    he didn¡¯t expect that xie chengze knew about lu yanzhou¡¯s origins, and actually open with it, but looking at the two of them, they still have a good relationship.


    what¡¯s even more irritating is that after listening to what xie chengze said, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. he even vaguely felt that what xie chengze said was right.


    he had been sending people to keep an eye on xie chengze and lu yanzhou, so he naturally knew that lu yanzhou was really capable. on the contrary, jiang mi always made mistakes when he was an intern at tan company, and later broke up with him. after resigning from tan company, he simply didn¡¯t go to work.


    tan shaojun liked jiang mi, but he valued himself more. jiang mi embarrassed him, so he complained about jiang mi.


    of course, what he hates most is xie chengze and lu yanzhou.


    fortunately, these two don¡¯t have many good days left!


    thinking of all the arrangements he had made in private, tan shaojun¡¯s lips curled up.


    when xie chengze goes bankrupt¡­he and lu yanzhou will look very good by then!


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know what tan shaojun was thinking.


    after chatting with someone in a few words¡­he missed lu yanzhou a little bit.


    he wonder what lu yanzhou is doing now.


    lu yanzhou was in contact with yaoshi to sell new technologies. when he learned that yaoshi had contacted a state-owned enterprise, he was very happy and immediately expressed that he wanted to contact the officials.


    yaoshi learned of his request and immediately agreed.


    such a big boss is not something they, yaoshi, can control, let alone offend.


    regardless, just make good friends!


    ¡°sorry to bother you, i have something else to do, so i¡¯ll get off first.¡± lu yanzhou chatted with the other party, packed up and prepared to pick up xie chengze.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t actually need him to pick him up, but he wanted to make xie chengze happy.


    with this in mind, lu yanzhou also bought a bouquet of flowers on the way.

 CH 209

    xie chengze had just gone out after a meeting when he saw his car.


    he was a little tired, so he quickly walked to the car and opened the door, and then felt that all the fatigue in his body was swept away.


    lu yanzhou was actually in the car, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, smiling at him: ¡°aze!¡±


    xie chengze¡¯s lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up.


    not far away, tan shaojun, who saw this scene, felt a little contemptuous in his heart.


    he didn¡¯t expect that xie chengze, whom he regarded as his biggest enemy, would be moved by some small favors and really fall in love with a good-for-nothing like lu yanzhou.


    just as this thought arose in his mind, he suddenly thought of what xie chengze said before ¡ª xie chengze¡¯s words clearly meant that jiang mi was not as good as lu yanzhou.


    when tan shaojun came home, his face was not very good.


    ¡°shaojun, you¡¯re back!¡± jiang mi greeted tan shaojun happily when he saw him.


    if it were in the past, tan shaojun would be in a very good mood when he went home and saw the person he liked waiting for him, and then went to kiss jiang mi.


    but today¡­


    tan shaojun asked: ¡°is there anything to eat at home?¡±


    ¡°there are snacks and milk, do you want to eat it?¡± jiang mi asked.


    tan shaojun suddenly became unhappy: ¡°i came back so late but you didn¡¯t know how to make some late-night food for me?¡±


    jiang mi felt that tan shaojun was unreasonable: ¡°you didn¡¯t tell me! and you had never eaten at midnight before!¡±


    when tan shaojun heard what jiang mi said, he felt that something was wrong with him, but he still said: ¡°then go and make me something to eat now.¡± tan shaojun had also hired an aunt to cook, but now it¡¯s already very late. the aunt had long gone home. however, there¡¯s still ingredients in the refrigerator.


    jiang mi said: ¡°didn¡¯t i tell you that i can¡¯t cook?¡±


    tan shaojun¡¯s anger that he was suppressing immediately rose: ¡°you don¡¯t want to do it, or you don¡¯t know how to do it? you are not young, and you were also raised in the orphanage, you can¡¯t cook?¡±


    tan shaojun really didn¡¯t understand jiang mi. though he doesn¡¯t usually cook, when mentioned it, he said he couldn¡¯t do it.


    however, in the past thirty years of his life, when he was studying abroad, when he went camping, during the new year or family birthdays, he occasionally cooked, and the food he cooked could be eaten.


    jiang mi can¡¯t even make noodles too?


    ¡°must those raised in the orphanage know how to cook? i¡¯ve told you before, i can¡¯t!¡± after jiang mi finished speaking, tears gathered in his eyes.


    tan shaojun used ¡®orphanage¡¯ to stimulate him, it¡¯s too much!


    and there are so many people who can¡¯t cook now, why should he be able to do it?


    in the past, tan shaojun would definitely feel distressed, but now he wants to curse.


    he often went to lu yanzhou¡¯s place to look for jiang mi. sometimes when it was time for dinner, there would be home-cooked food on the table.


    was that all done by lu yanzhou? jiang mi doesn¡¯t even help a little?


    as long as jiang mi is there to help, he would still know something from observing, right?


    ¡°jiang mi, why don¡¯t you know anything? you¡¯re not as good as lu yanzhou!¡± tan shaojun blurted out.


    tears suddenly came out of jiang mi¡¯s eyes.


    tan shaojun was in a bad mood and was too lazy to talk to him. he went into the kitchen, found the dumplings that the aunt had prepared for tomorrow morning from the refrigerator, then made a bowl for himself.


    when the dumplings were cooked, tan shaojun looked at his phone and saw that 10,000 in the secondary card he gave jiang mi was used.


    he had previously tried every means to get jiang mi to spend his money, but jiang mi will be unhappy if he spends it. 10,000 yuan was very little money to him, but xie chengze had just ridiculed him¡­


    tan shaojun asked jiang mi with a cold face: ¡± what did you buy? you spend 10,000?¡±


    jiang mi, who really had no clothes to wear and went out to buy some clothes during the day, was stunned.


    the two inevitably had another quarrel. early the next morning, jiang mi gritted his teeth and went to xie company to find lu yanzhou.


    in the past, when he had a fight with tan shaojun and was in a bad mood, he would go to lu yanzhou.


    and what happened last night¡­there were a lot of snacks at home, but tan shaojun deliberately made trouble for him, telling him to cook. he even got angry at him because he bought some clothes. he couldn¡¯t stand it!


    lu yanzhou would not do this! if it were lu yanzhou, he would only bring him food if he came back late from having fun!


    jiang mi thought about what happened last night when tan shaojun was angry and said that he was not as good as lu yanzhou, and suddenly felt¡­tan shaojun was actually not as good as lu yanzhou.


    but soon, jiang mi put this thought out of his mind.


    if nothing else, tan shaojun is a few steps ahead of lu yanzhou in terms of status.


    when tan shaojun walked out, everyone else treated him respectfully. what about lu yanzhou? he had seen lu yanzhou running sales before, even nodding and bowing to others.


    thinking of this, jiang mi couldn¡¯t help but grumble about lu yanzhou again. it was not right for lu yanzhou to owe money. he just said a few words, why did lu yanzhou ignore him?


    lu yanzhou clearly said that he would be good to him for the rest of his life, so why did he go back on his word?


    jiang mi learned from tan shaojun that lu yanzhou now worked at xie company, but it was his first time here so he had no idea where lu yanzhou was. he can only ask the reception for help.


    ¡°sorry, we cannot disclose the employee¡¯s personal information. if you want to find him, you can call him and ask him to come down.¡± the receptionist said.


    however, jiang mi didn¡¯t have lu yanzhou¡¯s phone number at all.


    when the receptionist saw this situation, it was even more impossible to tell him lu yanzhou¡¯s information.


    jiang mi stayed at xie company¡¯s door for a long time, but didn¡¯t see lu yanzhou.


    it was a coincidence that he saw xie ruanxin from a distance¡­


    the moment he saw xie ruanxin, jiang mi ran away, fearing that xie ruanxin spotted him if he was slower.


    he had never come to see lu yanzhou before because he was actually afraid of xie ruanxin.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know that jiang mi came to see him. on the contrary, xie chengze knew about it early because he arranged for someone to keep an eye on jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou was so kind to him, and xie chengze sometimes wondered if lu yanzhou fell in love with him after he gave up on jiang mi.


    however, jiang mi and tan shaojun have been together for several years, but lu yanzhou has continued to provide for jiang mi every day for several years; jiang mi and him are also completely different types.


    lu yanzhou hates tan shaojun, as for jiang mi¡­except when he mentioned at the beginning, he never mentioned him later.


    and¡­although lu yanzhou was nice to him, it probably was nothing compared to how nice lu yanzhou was to jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou received 500,000 to 600,000 yuan a year, and spent at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan on jiang mi, including washing and cooking for jiang mi.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t plan to tell lu yanzhou about jiang mi coming to see lu yanzhou.


    before lu yanzhou left him, he would never let lu yanzhou come into contact with jiang mi.


    as for tan shaojun¡­


    ever since he heard from lu yanzhou that tan shaojun wanted to use xie ruanxin to obtain xie company¡¯s secrets, xie chengze had been on guard.


    he really found something wrong.


    of course it was not xie ruanxin who stole the secret, but it did have something to do with xie ruanxin. if he had not discovered it, xie company would have suffered huge losses.


    now that he found it¡­xie chengze in turn dug a hole for tan shaojun. at the same time, xie also began to target tan from all aspects.


    xie¡¯s move was not small, so it¡¯s naturally impossible for tan to have no reaction. for a time, both sides used frequent means to exchange blows.


    ¡°damn xie chengze!¡± tan shaojun was extremely angry as he had been targeted by xie chengze recently.


    ever since he learned that xie chengze was about to die, he had been eyeing xie company and even wanted to devour xie.


    who would have thought that xie chengze would fight back?


    didn¡¯t xie ruanxin say that xie chengze was going to die? how could he not feel that xie chengze was going to die? if xie chengze was always here, how would he get xie?


    tan shaojun became angry when he heard some rumors again, saying that he obviously likes men but still deceived her.


    tan shaojun and jiang mi have been involved for several years, and many people know about it, but tan shaojun is still very angry when people say he cheated.


    especially when some people say that he doesn¡¯t know people well and was deceived by jiang mi.


    in addition, xie chengze has been in the market for a long time and has a wide network of contacts. many people now don¡¯t contact him because of xie chengze¡­


    tan shaojun decided to talk to xie ruanxin and asked her to tamper with the medicine that xie chengze usually used.


    the insulin xie chengze used needs to be stored at a fixed temperature, neither too cold nor too hot. generally, unopened insulin should be refrigerated, while at room temperature about 20 degrees celsius if opened.


    it is difficult to replace this medicine, and if it was exposed to¡­temperatures exceeding thirty degrees celsius, it may lose its effectiveness.


    xie ruanxin did not have access to the medicines xie chengze usually used, so she spent money to ¡®bribe¡¯ xie chengze¡¯s assistant and let xie chengze¡¯s assistant tamper with the medicines.


    xie chengze¡¯s assistant was xie chengze¡¯s confidant. when xie ruanxin first contacted him, he had already told xie chengze about this matter. after that, xie chengze knew all his contacts with xie ruanxin.


    after xie chengze confiscated the money xie ruanxin gave him, he divided it into two equal parts and used it as bonuses for him and another assistant.


    although the money was less than half, the money that came from harming people and the bonus given by xie chengze was different. it was comfortable to use.


    the assistant who was contacted by xie ruanxin was the younger of xie chengze¡¯s two assistants. seeing the large 100,000 bonus, he was in a particularly good mood: ¡°mr. xie, if i threaten miss xie, she may be willing to give another sum of money¡­¡± if he asks for another sum of money, he will have enough for the down payment!


    ¡°aren¡¯t you afraid of being sent in for extortion?¡± xie chengze was speechless.


    young assistant: ¡°¡­¡± forget it, let¡¯s save the down payment slowly.


    the older assistant took the money and asked xie chengze: ¡°mr. xie, what are we going to do next?¡±


    as xie chengze¡¯s assistants, they knew xie chengze very well. they knew many things about xie chengze, and also vaguely knew some of xie chengze¡¯s plans.


    xie chengze said: ¡°in a few days, i will go to the hospital and make them relax their vigilance.¡±


    it¡¯s time to close the net!


    tan shaojun actually used such methods, he would not let him go.


    as for xie ruanxin¡­xie chengze originally wanted to give her a hand, but now he has given up on this plan.


    he doesn¡¯t owe xie ruanzin, so it has nothing to do with him how xie ruanxin feels in the future.


    after getting off work, xie chengze waited for lu yanzhou as usual.


    since the relationship between the two became public, lu yanzhou no longer waited for him in the car early. instead, he came to him on time and then got off work with him.


    ¡°aze.¡± lu yanzhou smiled as soon as he saw xie chengze.


    xie chengze expressed a little sadness at the right time and smiled bitterly: ¡°yanzhou.¡±


    seeing xie chengze like this, lu yanzhou immediately asked: ¡°aze, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°xie ruanxin bribed the people around me, wanting him to tamper with the medicine i used.¡±


    lu yanzhou was shocked when he heard this.


    lu yanzhou knew that xie chengze would be hospitalized due to medication problems, that¡¯s why he reminded xie chengze repeatedly.


    xie chengze used a custom-made insulated box with power supply to store the medicine. lu yanzhou even coaxed him into changing the password of the box.


    in the end, it happened. fortunately, xie chengze was prepared.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°is she stupid?¡± if anything happened to xie chengze, it would do no good for xie ruanxin at all!


    xie chengze sighed: ¡°it¡¯s probably because of her mother¡¯s influence. she doesn¡¯t trust me very much, and i can¡¯t do anything about her. i feel like i¡¯m just a propaganda against fraud now, but after saying it so many times, she is still being cheated.¡±


    lu yanzhou was also helpless: ¡°aze, what are you going to do now?¡±


    ¡°i plan to take advantage of the situation and go to the hospital for a few days to close the net by the way.¡± said xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou was quite interested in and took the matter of dealing with the tan very seriously, so he would ask xie chengze¡¯s progress from time to time.


    he also knew a lot about business matters¡­


    therefore, all the things xie chengze did during this period were not hidden from lu yanzhou at all. lu yanzhou also gave xie chengze many ideas to deal with the tan.


    if he wants to cause problems for the tan family, he still has to start from within the tan. xie chengze has been collecting evidence of tan¡¯s illegal activities some time ago, and now everything is almost ready.


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou immediately agreed, thinking about asking yaoshi to help too.


    however, that will have to wait until tomorrow.


    his time after getting off work was all xie chengze¡¯s.


    xie chengze has been hit hard recently and is also very busy, so he needs his care.


    when they got home, the nanny had already prepared the meal.


    the two had dinner together then went for a walk in the community together.


    they have been very busy recently, so their dates have stopped, but they still go for walks together, which is good for xie chengze¡¯s health.


    the night was beautiful and the breeze was nice. lu yanzhou suddenly thought of something and asked xie chengze: ¡°aze, do you have somewhere you want to go in the future? is there anything you want to do?¡±


    xie chengze said: ¡°no¡­i haven¡¯t thought about it.¡±


    ¡°then you should think about it now! let¡¯s go together in the future.¡±


    xie chengze smiled: ¡°okay!¡±


    a few days later, xie chengze was admitted to the hospital.


    as soon as he moved in, the news that he was in poor health and seriously ill became known to everyone. even his sexuality was exposed, and xie¡¯s stock price plummeted that day.


    xie chengze knew very well that it was tan shaojun who took action.


    after thinking about it, xie chengze contacted the investment company he opened and asked them to acquire xie¡¯s shares.


    he is not optimistic about his own future, but he is optimistic about xie¡¯s future.


    the most important thing is that tan shaojun is also acquiring xie¡¯s shares. he doesn¡¯t want xie company to fall into tan shaojun¡¯s hands.


    it¡¯s just¡­as soon as xie chengze contacted the person who helped him manage the investment company, he learned a piece of news that surprised him.


    ¡°mr. l¡¯s latest request is to deal with tan?¡± xie chengze couldn¡¯t help but want to confirm again.


    ¡°yes, mr. xie. he also contacted the officials, gave them something that moved their hearts, and then said that he had a grudge against tan shaojun.¡±


    xie chengze was a little shocked. tan shaojun was so good at making enemies. he even offended such a big boss.


    that mysterious mr. l, who neither wanted fame nor profit, gave them so many artificial intelligence-related technologies without asking for a penny, and now he asked them to deal with tan shaojun?


    tan¡¯s may be in bad luck this time.


    xie chengze was very curious about mr. l, but he didn¡¯t know that lu yanzhou, who named himself mr. l, was now in a little trouble.


    the technology he originally sold to yaoshi was valuable but not very eye-catching.


    however, this time, in order to deal with tan, he used a more precious technique.


    officials have long since confirmed that the technology he gave was not stolen from elsewhere. it should have been developed by him himself¡­naturally, they hope to win over researchers like him.


    therefore, now lu yanzhou receives numerous official messages every day, and the offers offered by people on the other side become more and more attractive every day.


    he now has a lot of merit, so this world rejection toward him is also getting weaker. if he engages in scientific research¡­it¡¯s actually possible.


    he wanted to take away xie chengze¡¯s soul from the small world. to get this world out of black tortoise¡¯s control, he needed more merit. he couldn¡¯t stay in xie company all the time.


    the most important thing is¡­he has almost accumulated enough merit to treat xie chengze. when xie chengze recovers, he will naturally realize that he is different, and then he can cover for him.


    with xie chengze protecting him, others would not doubt him.


    lu yanzhou replied to the other party, saying that when tan¡¯s matter was over, he was willing to join the official research institute and become a researcher.


    as for those generous conditions¡­he doesn¡¯t need it, he can just ask the other party to donate them in money.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s behavior undoubtedly made the official impression of him better.


    lu yanzhou secretly contacted someone, then returned to xie chengze¡¯s ward.


    ordinary patients can eat something to replenish their health when they are sick, but xie chengze cannot eat many things, and he can only take a small bite to taste fruits.


    ¡°where have you been?¡± xie chengze asked lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i have some work to deal with.¡±


    xie chengze sighed secretly.


    he told manager zhang not to arrange work for lu yanzhou. what kind of work did lu yanzhou have to deal with?


    he was hospitalized these days, and lu yanzhou would leave from time to time. he didn¡¯t even know what he was doing.


    however, lu yanzhou was as considerate to him as ever.


    but, after something happens to tan shaojun, will lu yanzhou still be like this?


    if jiang mi cries and begs, will lu yanzhou go back?


    is it possible for lu yanzhou to stay with him?


    but even if lu yanzhou stayed with him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stay with lu yanzhou for long with his body in such a state.


    they are destined to not last.


    he is a person that even his parents don¡¯t like, and he also has a weak body. if he didn¡¯t have money, he¡¯s afraid no one would love him.


    but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want his money.


    xie chengze sometimes thought that it would be great if lu yanzhou came for his money like tan shaojun said.


    he has enough money to definitely make lu yanzhou accompany him for the rest of his life.


    it¡¯s a pity that lu yanzhou never asks him for money even if he is in debt.

 CH 210

    ever since xie chengze entered the hospital and xie¡¯s stock price plummeted, tan shaojun became very proud.


    as long as something happens to xie chengze, xie company will inevitably have a problem. when the time comes, he could try to acquire xie company!


    when xie company becomes his¡­he wants to see who will say he is not as good as xie chengze!


    as for lu yanzhou¡­tan shaojun has always hated lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou ran to contact xie chengze because he wanted to rely on xie chengze to deal with him, right? if lu yanzhou hadn¡¯t given xie chengze the benefit of the doubt, xie chengze probably wouldn¡¯t have come against him some time ago.


    now that something happened to xie chengze, lu yanzhou must have a very good look now!


    because his mood had improved, when tan shaojun went home and saw jiang mi, he was no longer as fond of finding trouble as he had been some time ago.


    however, he also didn¡¯t care for jiang mi as much as before.


    jiang mi has become much more obedient recently, and even started to learn to cook¡­this kind of jiang mi is no different from the men and women he came into contact with in his early years.


    of course, he won¡¯t let go of jiang mi too.


    lu yanzhou and xie chengze were probably together to take jiang mi away from him, he won¡¯t let lu yanzhou succeed.


    with this in mind, tan shaojun transferred 100,000 yuan to jiang mi.


    jiang mi was originally a little unhappy because of tan shaojun¡¯s neglect during this period, but when 100,000 yuan came into his account¡­his dissatisfaction immediately dissipated a lot. he began to think about obeying tan shaojun in the future.


    a young master like tan shaojun has never been angry before. he really shouldn¡¯t go against tan shaojun.


    as for lu yanzhou¡­xie company is now in trouble. who knows what lu yanzhou¡¯s life will be like in the future!


    maybe he would even ask him for help when the time comes¡­


    in the past, lu yanzhou would give money to jiang mi, but he would never give 100,000 yuan at a time. this was the first time he got such a large sum of money, so jiang mi couldn¡¯t hold back and went to buy those former shoes that he couldn¡¯t bear to spend money on before. after buying them, he wore it for tan shaojun to see.


    tan shaojun¡¯s mouth said yes but his heart doesn¡¯t feel love for jiang mi anymore.


    the jiang mi he likes is obviously an orphan but is still as warm as a little sun. he doesn¡¯t care about his money and loves him for who he is, not the jiang mi in front of him who hates poverty and loves wealth.


    tan shaojun simply spent a lot of time with xie ruanxin, and then xie ruanxin did something that shocked other xie¡¯s shareholders ¡ª she wanted to sell her xie¡¯s stock to tan shaojun.


    those who speculate in stocks, after buying stocks, most of them do not expect the company to make money by paying dividends, but make money by pointing to the skyrocketing stock price.


    however, xie ruanxin is one of xie¡¯s major shareholders!


    if xie company loses money every year, it may be normal for her to sell the stocks. however, xie company has been making money. why is she selling the stock?


    besides, she is someone who knows that tan is targeting xie. in this situation, she actually sold her shares to tan shaojun¡­


    speaking of which¡­can tan shaojun afford to buy so many stocks from her?


    this matter is no small matter, a shareholders¡¯ meeting needs to be held!


    therefore, xie chengze learned about the incident immediately, and his first reaction was to contact xie ruanxin and ask her not to do this.


    however, xie ruanxin was determined to sell the shares in her hand. she even said that she felt that xie chengze didn¡¯t allow her to sell because he could not bear to see her be better.


    xie chengze was speechless: ¡°are you really going to kill the goose to get the eggs?¡±


    xie ruanxin replied unhappily: ¡°how is this killing the goose to get the eggs? you are planning to donate xie¡¯s shares, why can¡¯t i sell them?¡± she signed an agreement with tan shaojun. from now on, xie company dividends will be tan shaojun but he will also give a part to her, and he will also marry her. in this case, these shares will belong to her children sooner or later.


    besides, xie ruanxin had no choice but to do this. her mother owed a lot of debts. if she continued to pay them, she wouldn¡¯t be honest anytime soon. she also had a lot of debts outside and had to pay them back.


    in addition, her attack on xie chengze was equivalent to giving tan shaojun a handle. if tan shaojun wanted the shares, could she not sell them?


    and now xie¡¯s stock price has plummeted¡­what if it keeps falling like this and her shares become worthless?


    thinking like this, xie ruanxin continued: ¡°xie chengze, if you don¡¯t let me sell xie¡¯s shares, i will definitely tell others about you and that lu yanzhou as a shareholder of xie company!¡±


    it¡¯s okay if xie ruanxin didn¡¯t say this, but when she said it¡­xie chengze laughed: ¡°okay. i won¡¯t stop you.¡±


    such a large number of stock transactions is quite troublesome, but xie ruanxin was determined to sell, so xie chengze talked with the other xie shareholders and didn¡¯t stop her¡­xie ruanxin quickly sold the shares in her hands.


    tan shaojun suddenly became one of xie company major shareholders, second only to xie chengze in terms of shareholding in xie company.


    before xie chengze¡¯s father passed away, he divided xie company shares equally between xie chengze and xie ruanxin. however, xie chengze later purchased some otherxie company shares, so his shares in xie company were larger than xie ruanxin¡¯s.


    but even so, tan shaojun instantly became a popular figure and was considered a wizard in the business world.


    some people in the industry continue to praise him. in short, he has far surpassed xie chengze.


    however, just when tan shaojun was at his most prosperous, someone reported tan company for tax evasion with their real name. he was also suspected of embezzling state-owned assets.


    this incident caught tan shaojun off guard.


    what made him even more panicked was that the other party¡¯s evidence was solid, and the relevant units responded very quickly. before he and his father could do anything, they were already arrested.


    the investigation team also immediately settled in tan¡¯s house.


    things developed so fast that both tan shaojun and his father were a little confused.


    this is definitely someone targeting them. as for who that person is¡­


    tan shaojun once told jiang mi that xie ruanxin knew his handle, but that handle was actually given to xie ruanxin himself. in order to make xie ruanxin trust him.


    but in reality? xie ruanxin has no evidence at all!


    he had indeed done this. the tan family was not the only one who had done this. as long as there was no evidence, what could xie ruanxin do to the tan family?


    what¡¯s more, he and xie ruanxin haven¡¯t broken up yet. there¡¯s no benefit for xie ruanxin to do such a thing.


    therefore, the person who reported him and his father should not be xie ruanxin.


    since xie ruanxin didn¡¯t do it, then who did it?


    the answer is already clear ¡ª xie chengze!


    no wonder xie ruanxin sold his shares to him but xie chengze didn¡¯t stop her!


    no wonder xie chengze is so low-key these days!


    he actually held back his ultimate move!


    the tan company and xie company situation suddenly changed.


    after learning that xie chengze was in poor health, those who wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from xie company and who no longer had any respect for xie chengze were even more shocked.


    tan shaojun used underhanded tactics. they heard that xie chengze was hospitalized because his medicine was tampered with.


    xie ruanxin¡­he coaxed a girl who was ten years younger than him to sell her shares to him. his methods were not bright.


    it¡¯s hard to admire such a person, but xie chengze is different.


    xie chengze makes sure to hit the target with one hit. his methods are fair and just, so it makes it impossible for people to avoid him!


    old ginger is still spicier, xie chengze is worthy of being xie chengze!


    after tan shaojun and his father go in this time, they may have to shed their skin even if they didn¡¯t die!


    of course, what shocked everyone even more was that there were too many people helping xie chengze this time. even the government made it clear that they were on xie chengze¡¯s side.


    xie chengze¡¯s energy is too great!


    people from the government: ¡°¡­¡± they are really not on xie chengze¡¯s side, but are helping mr. l.


    however, mr. l¡¯s request does seem to be helping xie chengze.


    in the hospital.


    xie chengze has been hospitalized for a long time.


    in fact, his situation can no longer be regarded as hospitalization¡­the private hospital he went to had a special sanatorium area. he stayed in the ward for a few days at first, and then went to the special sanatorium area.


    the suites in the health care area are no different from hotel suites. the two bedrooms and two living rooms can also be used for cooking. the downstairs is lined with trees for walking. there are also various fitness equipment throughout the building.


    xie chengze and lu yanzhou lived together. he gave up most of his work and lived here. he lives a constant life every day, so his health is much better now.


    but these days, xie chengze was not in a good mood.


    the tan father and son fell too fast!


    the investigation against tan company and the tan father and son had actually started a long time ago, thus it was quickly discovered how much tax tan company had underpaid, so a huge fine had been issued against tan company.


    in order to buy shares from xie ruanxin, the tan father and his son already owed a large amount of debt, and now they have to pay fines¡­he¡¯s afraid they may be bankrupt.


    not to mention, now the tan father and his son were also jailed!


    xie chengze has been sending people to keep an eye on jiang mi. ever since tan shaojun¡¯s accident, jiang mi¡¯s life has been very unsatisfactory. he even went to xie company to find lu yanzhou several times.


    if lu yanzhou went to comfort jiang mi at this time¡­


    just as he was thinking about this, xie chengze saw lu yanzhou humming a song and entering with some dishes, looking very happy.


    lu yanzhou was really happy. tan shaojun was jailed, and even if he could come out¡­after losing so much money, it would be difficult for him to be the president of tan group again. he would certainly not be able to target xie chengze.


    what¡¯s more important is that the merit to cure xie chengze is almost enough!


    ¡°aze, we are eating shrimp today, what flavor do you want?¡± lu yanzhou asked xie chengze.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i like to eat everything you cook.¡±


    ¡°then let¡¯s make the simplest one, boiled.¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°i will make fried ones for you to eat later!¡±


    when xie chengze gets better, he will make all kinds of food, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour fish, etc., so that xie chengze can fully experience his culinary skills.


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze smiled.


    then, lu yanzhou suddenly remembered something and said to xie chengze: ¡°aze, a few of my friends have always wanted to meet you. are you willing to meet them?¡±


    xie chengze was thinking about when lu yanzhou would leave him when he suddenly heard lu yanzhou words. he was a little surprised that he wanted to introduce his friends to him, but he quickly replied, ¡°of course i do. should we treat them to a meal?¡±


    ¡°okay, in that case, let¡¯s invite them here for a meal.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze agreed immediately, and then asked: ¡°what do your friends do? are they your former colleagues?¡±


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°they are all friends i have known since i was in the orphanage. they are all very nice people. ¡±


    lu yanzhou briefly introduced the original owner¡¯s several friends, including zhou hongxing.


    the people he planned to invite this time did not have a good relationship with jiang mi. they had also been brainwashed by him and firmly believed that he was raising jiang mi as his child.


    because he kept saying in front of these people that his new partner was so good, these people wanted to meet xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou originally wanted to wait until everything was settled and xie chengze was discharged from the hospital before introducing them to each other, but it was a coincidence that zhou hongxing occasionally browsed financial videos and saw xie chengze¡¯s photo and recognized that this was his boyfriend.


    nowadays, those financial videos make xie chengze sound like he will die soon¡­zhou hongxing was startled and started asking him questions¡­


    because of this, lu yanzhou plans to let them meet in advance.


    xie chengze listened to lu yanzhou talk a lot, and then said: ¡°yanzhou, show me the photos of your friends and then tell me their names, so that i won¡¯t mistake them tomorrow.¡±


    lu yanzhou felt helpless after hearing this: ¡°i don¡¯t have their photos¡­but i can tell you their names.¡±


    lu yanzhou simply drew a few portraits and wrote down their names for xie chengze to take a look.


    among the people lu yanzhou wanted to invite, not only did jiang mi not exist, but they were also not close friends with jiang mi¡­xie chengze was a little surprised.


    he sent people to investigate lu yanzhou, but he did not investigate these people. after all, according to what the investigators said¡­these people were not close to lu yanzhou.


    the next day came in a blink of an eye.


    it was the weekend, but not all of lu yanzhou¡¯s friends had found jobs with weekend breaks, so they all made an appointment to come over for dinner that evening.


    lu yanzhou went to buy groceries in the afternoon, so xie chengze asked a few people to come over and ask them to take care of his hair, trim his eyebrows and beard, etc.


    lu yanzhou even saw xie chengze using lipstick to make his lips look better.


    he was really attentive. xie chengze had never been so attentive before attending official meetings.


    after those people had left¡­lu yanzhou leaned out half of his body from the kitchen. seeing xie chengze¡¯s radiant appearance, he couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°aze, your appearance make me want to kiss you.¡±


    xie chengze smiled and came beside lu yanzhou and him.


    lu yanzhou almost couldn¡¯t react, then finally said: ¡°will there be lipstick on my face if you kiss me like this?¡±


    xie chengze couldn¡¯t help smiling: ¡°don¡¯t worry, the one i use won¡¯t show.¡±


    as the two were talking, lu yanzhou¡¯s cell phone rang.


    lu yanzhou answered the phone and learned that zhou hongxing and the others will be arriving soon. he looked at xie chengze and said, ¡°aze, zhou hongxing and the others are almost here. let¡¯s go pick them up.¡±


    this hospital has strict management, so zhou hongxing and the others couldn¡¯t enter.


    xie chengze said: ¡°okay.¡±


    xie chengze went downstairs and walked to the door. as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw someone he didn¡¯t want to see.


    jiang mi actually found this place?!


    xie chengze is here. mother tan told jiang mi, so jiang mi came over.


    when xie company had problems before, jiang mi was quite happy, and even thought that after xie chengze died, he could ask tan shaojun to help lu yanzhou.


    however, what he didn¡¯t expect was that tan shaojun and his father were actually arrested!


    tan shaojun¡¯s mother didn¡¯t like him. after tan shaojun was arrested, she came to him directly and drove him out. if he hadn¡¯t said that his friend since childhood was xie chengze¡¯s lover and could help intercede, he may be homeless now!


    but even so, mother tan still kicked him out early every morning these days and asked him to go find lu yanzhou.


    but he couldn¡¯t find lu yanzhou¡­


    he came here after mother tan told him about this hospital. however, after waiting for a long time, he didn¡¯t see lu yanzhou. instead, he saw xie chengze, who looked very healthy and had no problems at all.


    jiang mi opened his eyes wide in surprise and stared at xie chengze for a while: ¡°mr. xie?¡±


    having been seen by jiang mi, xie chengze didn¡¯t avoid: ¡°is something wrong?¡±


    jiang mi said: ¡°mr. xie, can you let tan shaojun go? i know he did something wrong, so i¡¯ll apologize to you¡­just let him go!¡±


    xie chengze looked at jiang mi, who seemed like he was about to cry, speechless: ¡°you want me to let tan shaojun go? tan shaojun was caught for tax evasion¡­what ability do i have to let him go?¡±


    jiang mi said: ¡°what company doesn¡¯t do this? if it weren¡¯t for you, he wouldn¡¯t be caught, right? can¡¯t you spare him?¡±


    xie chengze was even more speechless: ¡°tan shaojun was caught because he evaded taxes.¡± if tan didn¡¯t do such a thing, how could he have the ability to put tan shaojun in prison?


    ¡°what company doesn¡¯t do this? if you hadn¡¯t reported it, tan company wouldn¡¯t have been investigated¡­did lu yanzhou ask you to do this? i want to see him.¡± said jiang mi.


    xie chengze has been jealous of jiang mi for a while now, but now that he actually met jiang mi, he was a little confused.


    how could lu yanzhou like such a person?


    he and lu yanzhou have known each other for some time now, and they have been getting along day and night in the past two months.


    lu yanzhou is very knowledgeable and sees problems very clearly. sometimes he even feels that lu yanzhou is more mature than him.


    but¡­how could such a lu yanzhou fall in love with jiang mi, and still couldn¡¯t let go?


    seeing that xie chengze didn¡¯t speak, jiang mi added: ¡°mr. xie, lu yanzhou is hostile to tan shaojun because of me. he must be doing this to get me! mr. xie, you really like lu yanzhou, right? if you don¡¯t save tan shaojun, aren¡¯t you afraid that i will choose to be with lu yanzhou? if i choose him, he would definitely break up with you.¡±


    xie chengze could no longer care about those doubts and only felt his heart sinking.


    however, before xie chengze could say anything, someone suddenly said: ¡°jiang mi, did you think too highly of yourself? lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t like you at all!¡±


    zhou hongxing and the others had made an appointment to come here together. therefore, when they got here, they saw jiang mi and xie chengze talking in the distance.


    jiang mi looked like he was crying, while xie chengze looked calm and only showed his boss¡¯s style.


    the person lu yanzhou likes is really different!


    thinking about it carefully, xie chengze is really much better than jiang mi!


    such thoughts arose in their hearts, and then they heard what jiang mi said.


    in order to make his friends believe that he really didn¡¯t like jiang mi, lu yanzhou formed a group to show off his affection every day. he would show off in the group what he cooked every day and what he did with xie chengze.


    after bombarding zhou hongxing and the others for several months, zhou hongxing and the others were convinced that lu yanzhou loved xie chengze deeply.


    jiang mi spoke nonsense to xie chengze without any self-awareness at all. what if it ruined lu yanzhou¡¯s relationship? they must stop it!


    as soon as zhou hongxing said those words, the others said: ¡°that¡¯s right, jiang mi, your face is too thick, right?¡±


    ¡°who said lu yanzhou likes you?¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t flatter yourself, okay?¡±


    ¡­


    after everyone finished speaking, they then looked at xie chengze: ¡°mr. xie, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense.¡±


    ¡°brother lu doesn¡¯t like him at all. he just saw that he is pitiful and raised him as his child for a while.¡±


    ¡±brother lu already ignored him when he found out that he had raised a white-eyed wolf!¡±


    ¡­


    zhou hongxing and the others know very well how much lu yanzhou likes xie chengze!


    now that jiang mi is bullying xie chengze aggressively, they must help.


    well, actually looking at the scene, it didn¡¯t look like jiang mi was bullying xie chengze, but it looked like xie chengze was bullying jiang mi. after all, jiang mi is the one crying.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    xie chengze really felt uncomfortable when jiang mi said that, but when lu yanzhou¡¯s friends appeared and said this¡­he didn¡¯t know how to react now.


    ¡°you guys are talking nonsense. brother lu likes me the most!¡± said jiang mi.


    zhou hongxing sneered: ¡°you¡¯re talking nonsense¡­¡±


    ¡°you were bribed by xie chengze! xie chengze, i haven¡¯t seen lu yanzhou all this time. is it because of you? did you lock him up? i want to see him!¡± jiang mi shouted loudly.


    ¡°how could brother lu be locked up as a grown man!¡± zhou hongxing retorted. lu yanzhou showed off his love in the group every day. sometimes they don¡¯t even want to pay attention to him that he even gave out red packets to lure them out¡­


    this doesn¡¯t seem like he lost his freedom.


    ¡°i don¡¯t care. i want to see lu yanzhou. if you don¡¯t let me see him, i will call the police!¡± jiang mi was so angry that he gave up talking.


    xie chengze looked at zhou hongxing and the others, then at jiang mi, and then thought of lu yanzhou¡­he suddenly realized something and said to jiang mi, ¡°i¡¯ll take you to see lu yanzhou. follow me.¡±


    after saying that, xie chengze called zhou hongxing and the others to leave together.


    zhou hongxing and the others followed up and whispered to xie chengze, ¡°mr. xie, our brother lu and this jiang mi really have nothing to do with each other.¡±


    ¡°i know.¡±


    he knew the past between lu yanzhou and jiang mi very well. lu yanzhou was also very good at taking care of others, which was probably trained on jiang mi.


    besides, lu yanzhou is very skilled in love affairs, so he has always felt that it should be related to jiang mi.


    but now¡­it¡¯s not?


    xie chengze has always been decisive in doing things, but now that he has doubts, he simply takes jiang mi back.


    ¡°the environment of this place is really nice.¡±


    ¡°is this a hospital? it looks more like a resort.¡±


    ¡°it looks better than brother lu¡¯s photos!¡±


    ¡­


    several of lu yanzhou¡¯s friends sighed.


    xie chengze said: ¡°this area is considered a nursing home. strictly speaking, it is not a hospital.¡±


    after xie chengze finished speaking, he introduced the place to them.


    zhou hongxing and the others all felt that they had learned a lot, but jiang mi¡¯s expression was very ugly¡ª these people were deliberately ignoring him!


    when he sees lu yanzhou, he will definitely ask lu yanzhou to help him vent his anger.


    he thought so in his heart, but jiang mi faintly felt panicked too.


    he hadn¡¯t seen lu yanzhou for several months.


    xie chengze opened the door and led everyone in, and saw lu yanzhou coming out of the kitchen with a spatula: ¡°aze, you¡¯re back¡­¡±


    halfway through his sentence, lu yanzhou saw jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou has not seen jiang mi since he came here. to him, jiang mi only exists in the original owner¡¯s memory.


    seeing him now, he was a little surprised, and then immediately asked zhou hongxing: ¡°why did you bring him?¡±


    zhou hongxing said: ¡°we didn¡¯t bring him, he was waiting at the door of the hospital! brother lu, please don¡¯t accuse us unjustly!¡±


    ¡°brother lu!¡± when jiang mi saw lu yanzhou, he burst into tears and rushed towards lu yanzhou, throwing him into lu yanzhou¡¯s arms.


    lu yanzhou subconsciously stepped aside and blocked him with the spatula.


    the spatula directly slapped jiang mi¡¯s face, leaving jiang mi with grease all over his face and body.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°respect yourself and don¡¯t pounce on others!¡± really, now he has to wash the spatula.


    ¡°brother lu, you¡­you hit me?!¡± jiang mi couldn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°this can¡¯t be considered a hit, right? you rushed up on your own.¡± lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want to be blamed for beating someone. he didn¡¯t even think about hitting him just now, he just subconsciously stopped him.


    ¡°why did you do this to me? don¡¯t you love me anymore?¡± jiang mi asked.


    lu yanzhou did not hesitate: ¡°when did i love you?¡± xie chengze is here! his relationship with jiang mi must be cleared up!


    although xie chengze has been hiding it, he knows very well that xie chengze likes to be jealous!

 CH 211

    since xie chengze entered the house, he has been staring at lu yanzhou, paying attention to every expression on lu yanzhou¡¯s face.


    he was very worried, fearing that lu yanzhou¡¯s feelings for jiang mi were not gone. however¡­lu yanzhou¡¯s face was filled with surprise and disgust when he saw jiang mi.


    not to mention feelings, there wasn¡¯t even the hatred he thought he had.


    lu yanzhou even sent the spatula to jiang mi!


    xie chengze fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.


    ¡°you¡­you don¡¯t love me?¡± jiang mi didn¡¯t believe it at all. he even felt angry from the bottom of her heart: ¡°if you don¡¯t love me, why were you so good to me before? brother lu, did xie chengze threaten you, so you dare not admit it?¡±


    ¡°wait a minute, jiang mi, you have to understand, i never told you that i love you,¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°it was tan shaojun who talked nonsense last time. didn¡¯t you say it then too? you don¡¯t believe it? so now what are you doing?¡±


    when tan shaojun said in front of jiang mi that the original owner liked jiang mi, didn¡¯t jiang mi give this ¡®this is impossible¡¯, ¡®i don¡¯t believe it¡¯, ¡®we¡¯re just brothers¡¯ look?


    why does he change his mind now and accept that the original owner likes him?


    in fact, jiang mi always knew that the original owner liked him, right? he just didn¡¯t want to respond, so he pretended not to know anything while enjoying the benefits the original owner gave him.


    ¡°brother lu, i know i was wrong. i was very shocked at the time¡­brother lu, i really cherish your feelings for me. no one is as good to me as you are. without you during this time, i feel so uncomfortable.¡± jiang mi started to cry and intended to hug lu yanzhou again.


    in the past, when lu yanzhou was still here, he would help him solve all kinds of troubles, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about almost anything.


    he really couldn¡¯t stand it without lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou took a step back and raised the spatula: ¡°your discomfort has nothing to do with me!¡±


    jiang mi¡¯s expression froze. lu yanzhou had always been so kind to him so it was difficult for him to accept lu yanzhou¡¯s rejection now.


    ¡°besides, i really have never loved you, not from the beginning to the end.¡± after lu yanzhou finished speaking, he glanced at xie chengze.


    xie chengze¡¯s expression was very solemn, which made lu yanzhou feel strangely guilty.


    jiang mi noticed lu yanzhou¡¯s expression and suddenly exploded: ¡°okay, you have xie chengze, the wealthy man, so you won¡¯t admit it, right? lu yanzhou, i didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person!¡±


    if the person in front of him was tan shaojun, jiang mi would not dare to say this, but the person in front of him was lu yanzhou, who had doted on him for more than ten years.


    he has always acted willfully in front of lu yanzhou.


    ¡°jiang mi, what are you talking about?¡± zhou hongxing was angry.


    lu yanzhou was not angry. he looked at jiang mi with a serious expression: ¡°jiang mi, how long are you going to make trouble?¡±


    when jiang mi saw lu yanzhou¡¯s solemn expression, he felt that he had completely lost something.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°jiang mi, i really didn¡¯t love you from the start to the end. if i really like you, how could i not confess my love to you? how could i not be jealous when i see you getting close to tan shaojun?¡±


    because you love me very much! jiang mi always felt this way, but now he felt a little panicked: ¡°brother lu, i shouldn¡¯t have lost my temper with you. i was wrong, but you can¡¯t deny your feelings for me. you were so good to me before. you hold me in your hands, how could you not love me!¡±


    ¡°i treat you like a child,¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°you also know that my family situation is not very good. my parents only care about gambling so they have never cared about me. when i was seven or eight years old, i had to cook for myself¡­later, my parents ran away, and my grandma got angry at me because my dad took away her pension money and borrowed a lot of money from relatives, so she beat and scolded me at every turn. i thought at that time that if i have a child in the future, i will treat them well and prevent them from suffering.¡±


    jiang mi didn¡¯t understand why lu yanzhou said this, what does it have to do with him?


    lu yanzhou added: ¡°when i first met you, you were only ten years old, thin and small. at that time, aunt arranged for you to live with me. you kept crying and calling for mom and dad at night¡­i felt sad for you at that time. i thought you would be quite miserable without your parents, and since i am older than you, i can take care of you, so i raised you as my child.¡±


    jiang mi was dumbfounded.


    zhou hongxing and others, who were brainwashed by lu yanzhou, said: ¡°yes, brother lu has always raised you as his son.¡±


    ¡°think about it, if he didn¡¯t raise you as his son, how could he be so good to you?¡±


    ¡°although he is angry when you fall in love, he is not jealous either!¡±


    ¡°brother lu, you don¡¯t actually have to raise jiang mi as a son, right? couldn¡¯t he be a younger brother too? yesterday i was browsing some videos and saw an older brother, who had never got married after his parents died, taking care of several younger brothers and sisters.¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°yes, that¡¯s pretty much it. even i didn¡¯t expect that i would raise a white-eyed wolf. jiang mi, if you were my biological child, i would have held my nose and endured it, but you are not my biological child, so i can¡¯t keep giving in to you.¡±


    ¡°this is impossible!¡± jiang mi couldn¡¯t believe it: ¡°you don¡¯t spend money yourself, but you have spent it for me. you even dropped out of school to work to support me¡­¡±


    ¡°aren¡¯t all parents like that? i just try to give you a better life¡­i¡¯m pretty good right. anyway, i didn¡¯t do such a thing as selling my blood for you to go to school.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    in fact, the original owner¡¯s feelings for jiang mi were not only love, but also very deep family affection.


    jiang mi was the only relative to the original owner, that¡¯s why at first he thought jiang mi didn¡¯t like men, so the original owner restrained his feelings to avoid misleading jiang mi. later, he discovered that jiang mi liked men, and because jiang mi had someone he liked, the original owner stepped out of the way.


    ¡°you must have lied to me¡­¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s the point of lying to you?¡± lu yanzhou sighed.


    ¡°that¡¯s right, what¡¯s the point of lying to you?¡± zhou hongxing agreed.


    lu yanzhou added: ¡°jiang mi, leave. you have grown up and you don¡¯t need me to take care of you anymore.¡±


    the original owner had given a lot of affection to jiang mi and spent a lot of money for jiang mi, but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t plan to pursue it.


    these were all given to jiang mi willingly by the original owner.


    however, the original owner paid so much for jiang mi and even lost his life in the end. jiang mi didn¡¯t do anything for the original owner, so it was impossible for him to continue to pay for jiang mi.


    ¡°even if you raise me as a child¡­do you really not care about me?¡± jiang mi still refused to give up.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°i raised you until you graduated from college and spent so much money on you. i just hoped that you would find a good job and live a stable life. in the end, you fall in love with a man, you don¡¯t work, and only stay at home to gnaw on the old¡­¡­of course, it¡¯s okay if you talk sweetly and make me happy, but i helped you teach tan shaojun a lesson, yet you still helped him¡­i decided at that time that i don¡¯t want a child like you anymore.¡±


    zhou hongxing also advised: ¡°jiang mi, you¡¯re not young anymore, it¡¯s been two years since you graduated from college, don¡¯t think about ngawing on the elderly anymore.¡± which of them didn¡¯t work hard on their own as adults? only jiang mi is still so pretentious.


    another friend of lu yanzhou said: ¡°yes, it¡¯s time for you to be self-reliant. as for brother lu¡­if you really care about brother lu¡¯s kindness in raising you, you can give brother lu some pension money every month in the future.¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± lu yanzhou said before that jiang mi was gnawing on the old, then lu yanzhou¡¯s friend actually asked jiang mi to pay for his pension. what the hell is this!


    xie chengze no longer knew what expression he should make.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s explanation is reasonable. therefore, lu yanzhou really doesn¡¯t like jiang mi, but treats jiang mi as his son?


    he had been jealous of lu yanzhou¡¯s ¡®son¡¯ before?


    okay, that¡¯s a weird statement.


    xie chengze had previously wondered how lu yanzhou could fall in love with jiang mi. however, if this was the case¡­then it would make sense.


    lu yanzhou¡¯s character is not like a dog licker. in contrast, if he raises a child, he is very likely to be very concerned about the child.


    however, lu yanzhou spent too much money raising this child, right?


    well, some parents are really reluctant to spend a penny on themselves, but they are very generous to their children.


    xie chengze¡¯s mind was very confused, but jiang mi had already rushed out of the door and left at this moment.


    seeing jiang mi leave, lu yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then called zhou hongxing and the others: ¡°sit down quickly. the food is almost ready¡­wait a minute, my vegetables are burnt!¡±


    when lu yanzhou rushed into the kitchen and got busy, xie chengze finally came back to his senses. he smiled and began to greet zhou hongxing and others, bringing out snacks and drinks for them.


    zhou hongxing and the others were a little restrained at first, but after a few words from xie chengze, they relaxed and started chatting with xie chengze.


    xie chengze inquired about a lot of news and asked, ¡°what¡¯s going on with jiang mi?¡±


    zhou hongxing and others immediately told xie chengze about lu yanzhou and jiang mi, and began to discuss parenting tips: ¡°a child shouldn¡¯t be spoiled too much!¡±


    ¡°brother lu actually doesn¡¯t want to spoil jiang mi too much. he always advises jiang mi to spend less, but jiang mi¡¯s character and consumption concept were already developed when he came to the orphanage.¡±


    ¡°yes, he was already in 4th grade at that time but he can¡¯t even use chopsticks.¡±


    ¡°we must pay more attention when raising children in the future. we can¡¯t raise white-eyed wolves.¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze didn¡¯t expect that they would sincerely discuss parenting, so he could only follow up with a few words.


    so¡­lu yanzhou really doesn¡¯t like jiang mi?


    does lu yanzhou really like him, and only him?


    this is a good thing for xie chengze, but it is also not a good thing.


    even if lu yanzhou raised jiang mi as a child, he was still only 26 or 27 years old.


    he was hospitalized recently, and lu yanzhou also had a physical examination¡­the results of his physical examination were very bad, but the results of lu yanzhou¡¯s physical examination were very good.


    if lu yanzhou takes good care of himself, he will definitely live to be 70 or 80 years old, not to mention a long life.


    so, how many years had he been dead at that time?


    he must have been very ugly before he died too.


    how would lu yanzhou feel when he remembers him as a young lover in his old age?


    lu yanzhou quickly brought all the food to the table and called xie chengze and the others to eat together.


    ¡°brother lu, your cooking is getting better and better!¡± zhou hongxing and the others praised while eating.


    ¡°i trained specifically for aze.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    this meal can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host.


    it turned out that zhou hongxing and the others were very worried after reading the news on the internet. even if lu yanzhou said that xie chengze was pretending to be ill, they still find it difficult to believe it.


    however, when they really saw xie chengze¡­although xie chengze was a little older than them, he didn¡¯t look like he was terminally ill at all.


    mr. xie is handsome and approachable. he is simply perfect!


    after eating, drinking and chatting, zhou hongxing and the others left.


    after they left, xie chengze suddenly asked: ¡°lu yanzhou, do you really have nothing to do with jiang mi?¡±


    ¡°aze, i really have nothing to do with him. i just raised him as my son for a few years.¡± lu yanzhou quickly replied.


    ¡°you¡¯ve never liked him?¡± xie chengze asked. this is something he didn¡¯t dare to ask before, but now he dares.


    ¡°absolutely not!¡±


    ¡°have you ever had sex?¡± xie chengze continued asking.


    ¡°no! i¡¯ve only been with you!¡± lu yanzhou immediately answered.


    xie chengze believed it.


    if lu yanzhou really had something to do with jiang mi, jiang mi would definitely say it before. so, if lu yanzhou and jiang mi had nothing¡­according to what he investigated, lu yanzhou had no other people who were close and he never messed around with anyone.


    therefore, he is lu yanzhou¡¯s first love?


    he was so entangled before, it was all for nothing?


    in fact, the only problem now is probably that lu yanzhou really spent too much money on jiang mi.


    lu yanzhou spent most of his wealth on jiang mi, so he must have deep feelings for jiang mi.


    but as long as he didn¡¯t like jiang mi, xie chengze felt that everything else didn¡¯t matter.


    lu yanzhou probably has a problem with his consumption concept too.


    for example, recently¡­lu yanzhou probably didn¡¯t have much money on hand, but he never wanted his money, and he was never reluctant to spend money. he was very picky about expensive ingredients.


    before his death, he must leave more property to lu yanzhou and set rules so that lu yanzhou cannot use it at will.


    thinking that he would die soon¡­xie chengze¡¯s heart was heavy, but he showed nothing on his face. he only held lu yanzhou¡¯s face and kissed him: ¡°you are so good.¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± xie chengze actually touched him! this is seducing him, right? this is definitely seduction.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t care less about feeling and decided to do what he needed to do immediately.


    living in this sanatorium, doctors and nurses will not come unless one rings the call bell.


    lu yanzhou naturally spent a wonderful night with xie chengze.


    when he got up the next morning, he brought breakfast to the bedroom, and after eating some with xie chengze, lu yanzhou went to another bedroom in the suite on the pretext of having work, and contacted people as mr. l.


    the tan father and his son were now in prison, so now the official wants to meet him.


    lu yanzhou replied and said that they could meet in a few days.


    after contacting the official, lu yanzhou contacted yaoshi.


    he recently discovered that yaoshi has been acquiring xie¡¯s shares.


    ever since tan shaojun targeted xie company, even now xie¡¯s stock price still continued to fall, and the company that controls yaoshi took advantage of this opportunity to acquire a large number of xie¡¯s shares.


    lu yanzhou wants those shares.


    xie company should belong to xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou proposed to exchange some technologies for xie¡¯s shares.


    yaoshi had always tried their best to meet lu yanzhou¡¯s various requirements, but they couldn¡¯t give an immediate answer about the shares and needed to ask xie chengze.


    ¡°it¡¯s okay. just give me an answer after you discuss it.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    after lu yanzhou finished speaking, he began to search for techniques in his mind and write them down. at the same time, xie chengze received a message from yaoshi.


    exchange xie¡¯s shares for technology? quite a bargain.


    xie chengze always felt that he wouldn¡¯t live long, so he didn¡¯t care much about the shares. he immediately said that it was no problem and they could exchange them.


    ¡°then let¡¯s contact mr. l.¡± said the man opposite xie chengze.


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze agreed immediately.


    they did it a little too long last night, xie chengze didn¡¯t feel very well today. however, lu yanzhou had been busy outside and didn¡¯t come to him¡­


    xie chengze suddenly became a little unhappy.


    he used to think that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t like him, so he didn¡¯t have such emotions, but it¡¯s different now.


    lu yanzhou likes him¡­


    xie chengze was lying on the bed, wondering whether he should go to lu yanzhou to see what lu yanzhou was doing, when he saw lu yanzhou open the door and come in, looking very happy.


    seeing that xie chengze hadn¡¯t gotten up yet, lu yanzhou was a little surprised: ¡°aze, you aren¡¯t up yet?¡±


    ¡°my waist feels uncomfortable,¡± said xie chengze.


    ¡°shall i rub it for you?¡± lu yanzhou came to xie chengze and rubbed xie chengze¡¯s waist.


    it was very comfortable to be massaged¡­xie chengze suddenly asked: ¡°what did you do just now?¡±


    lu yanzhou was a little hesitant. he wanted to surprise xie chengze after he got xie¡¯s shares¡­should he say it now?


    seeing lu yanzhou¡¯s hesitation, xie chengze added, ¡°i heard that you spent a lot of money on jiang mi? you are very good to your fake son.¡±


    now xie chengze was a little confused about this matter.


    even if lu yanzhou regarded jiang mi as his son, he was so kind to jiang mi¡­xie chengze always felt uncomfortable.


    jiang mi is only two years younger than lu yanzhou.


    when lu yanzhou heard xie chengze ask this, he only felt ¡®it¡¯s really here¡¯.


    he knew that when xie chengze knew about jiang mi¡¯s existence, he would definitely ask him!


    he guessed xie chengze wanted to ask yesterday, but he took him to bed, so he forgot about it for the time being!


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°aze, i am not short of money, that¡¯s why i spent it like this on him! the little money i spent on him is nothing to me!¡±


    xie chengze was a little surprised.


    lu yanzhou took out his mobile phone and showed xie chengze his bank account: ¡°aze, look, i have a lot of money in my account¡­aren¡¯t my programming skills pretty good? i sometimes sell some of my skills for money¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou¡¯s money in the account is not much, only a few hundred thousand, but this can indeed prove that lu yanzhou is not short of money.


    xie chengze had never thought of this before, but if lu yanzhou could exchange technology for money like mr. l, then it would be normal for him to not be too bothered about it.


    then, xie chengze¡¯s cell phone suddenly rang.


    xie chengze took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and saw the messages sent by his subordinates, all related to mr. l.


    his staff were obviously frightened and sent him many messages: ¡°mr. xie! after we agreed to his request to exchange technology for xie¡¯s shares, he asked us to transfer xie¡¯s shares to you!¡±


    ¡°he said all the shares will be given to you!¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, does he know you? otherwise, how could he do such a good thing?¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, do you remember? he asked us to deal with the tan family just after you planned to deal with the tan family!¡±


    ¡°mr. xie¡­¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze looked at this long list of information and fell silent.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t see the message on xie chengze¡¯s phone. he leaned over and kissed xie chengze: ¡°aze, i¡¯m really not short of money. ahem, i¡¯m actually good at software development and quite a bit about artificial intelligence¡­¡± this matter, xie chengze will know about it sooner or later, so lu yanzhou recently was thinking about telling xie chengze.


    xie chengze suddenly said: ¡°mr. l?¡±


    lu yanzhou was stunned.


    lu yanzhou never hides his emotions in front of xie chengze. seeing his expression, xie chengze naturally knew that he was right.


    he looked at lu yanzhou with complicated emotions.


    that mr. l was so powerful that everyone in yaoshi admired him. but¡­this person turned out to be lu yanzhou?


    ¡°did you contact yaoshi just now?¡± xie chengze asked.


    lu yanzhou said: ¡°yes¡­wait, aze, how did you know?¡±


    xie chengze took out his mobile phone and showed it to lu yanzhou: ¡°someone told me that mr. l wanted to use his technology to exchange shares with me, then he told them to transfer the shares to me.¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    xie chengze finally knew why lu yanzhou was so generous to jiang mi.


    he turned out to be mr. l. with his ability, it would be a matter of minutes to get money. the little money jiang mi spent was nothing to him.


    of course he would be generous to jiang mi!


    lu yanzhou avoided him and was sneaking around without him knowing what he was up to. now he also knew the reason.


    as mr. l, lu yanzhou must have a lot to do.


    he wonders why lu yanzhou hides his identity.


    however, lu yanzhou was thinking about exchanging xie¡¯s shares and giving it back to him, he obviously didn¡¯t intend to keep it a secret¡­xie chengze naturally couldn¡¯t blame him for this.


    he himself was not completely honest with lu yanzhou too. he actually had another company, but he did not tell lu yanzhou about it.


    then, xie chengze thought of another thing.


    if lu yanzhou is so powerful and yet he doesn¡¯t care about fame and fortune and treats money like dirt, then lu yanzhou¡¯s feelings for him should be extremely serious.


    with lu yanzhou¡¯s ability, there was no need to deceive his feelings.


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t know what xie chengze was thinking, so he tried to explain: ¡°aze, i didn¡¯t hide this from you on purpose. at first, i was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t let me live in your house after i told you. later, it was because i didn¡¯t know how to say it¡­¡±


    lu yanzhou really didn¡¯t expect that the person behind yaoshi was actually xie chengze.


    in order not to get into trouble, although he had good technology, he never used this technology to do things he shouldn¡¯t do from the beginning to the end, such as invading other people¡¯s companies to view their information.


    yaoshi¡¯s reputation was very good. he trusted yaoshi very much, so he didn¡¯t check the person behind yaoshi.


    what¡¯s more, yaoshi actually has several shareholders.


    as a result¡­he sold his technology in exchange for money, and it ended up being sold to xie chengze.


    during this period, he got a lot of money from xie chengze, but he didn¡¯t spend it and donated it all.


    xie chengze suddenly hugged lu yanzhou and kissed him again.


    lu yanzhou was a little excited. since xie chengze kissed him¡­is he not going to mind this?


    wait, xie chengze actually pulled him into bed¡­


    lu yanzhou quickly stopped him: ¡°aze, you are not in good health.¡±


    the touch in xie chengze¡¯s heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

 CH 212

    xie chengze initially thought that lu yanzhou was unwilling to touch him because he didn¡¯t like him.


    now it has been confirmed that lu yanzhou restrained himself because he cherished him.


    but he really wanted to get close to lu yanzhou, especially since he was not going to die soon.


    xie chengze suddenly felt a little disappointed.


    he was with lu yanzhou, and lu yanzhou had always been taking care of him. previously, he had thought that he could at least leave some inheritance to lu yanzhou, but judging from the current situation¡­lu yanzhou might not need his inheritance.


    in other words, there was nothing he could do for lu yanzhou.


    seeing that xie chengze was in a low mood, lu yanzhou comforted him: ¡°aze, when your health is good, we will do whatever you want.¡±


    ¡°when my health is good?¡± xie chengze frowned slightly.


    ¡°yes!¡± lu yanzhou was very certain, ¡°look, i am mr. l. what else is impossible?¡±


    lu yanzhou actually admired xie chengze. most people would definitely not believe it and would doubt him when they heard that he was mr. l¡­.xie chengze actually believed it!


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± it¡¯s truly¡­ by the way, how could lu yanzhou be mr. l?


    when he investigated lu yanzhou before, he saw lu yanzhou¡¯s grades. lu yanzhou¡¯s grades in high school were indeed good, and his science grades were even better, but he was definitely not as talented as mr. l.


    mr. l can no longer even be said to be a genius. he have always felt that mr. l should have his own team.


    but where did lu yanzhou get his team? lu yanzhou had even been working in sales before and worked overtime all day long.


    xie chengze couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°so, how did you become mr. l?¡±


    lu yanzhou kissed xie chengze to prevent him from continuing to ask.


    after all, this matters¡­it¡¯s hard for him to answer.


    when xie chengze saw this situation, he knew that lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want to answer.


    he didn¡¯t ask further.


    if lu yanzhou doesn¡¯t want to say it, don¡¯t say it. as long as lu yanzhou really likes him¡­he doesn¡¯t care about this.


    the two kissed for a while before lu yanzhou stopped and said to xie chengze: ¡°aze, the officials want to see me, and i made an appointment to meet them¡­at that time, can you come with me and be a cover for me. just say you have known me since long ago and have given me a lot of help¡­¡±


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± is lu yanzhou really mr. l?


    ¡°wait!¡± lu yanzhou suddenly frowned.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou in confusion.


    lu yanzhou suddenly pushed xie chengze down on the bed: ¡°aze, your health is going to be better!¡± just now, he suddenly received a huge wave of merit!


    the official said before that they would provide assistance to people in certain places in his name. this should be how the merit comes.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± is lu yanzhou okay? why is he suddenly talking such nonsense?


    but he liked lu yanzhou getting close to him.


    xie chengze hugged lu yanzhou back.


    the two mess around for a long time. xie chengze clearly felt that lu yanzhou was much more enthusiastic than before.


    why isn¡¯t he worried about his health at this time? while xie chengze was thinking about this, lu yanzhou had already cleaned him up: ¡°aze, wait a moment, i¡¯ll go cook something.¡±


    xie chengze answered ¡®hmm¡¯.


    he was indeed hungry, very hungry, but he couldn¡¯t eat too much at all. it was all rationed, so even if he was hungry, he would endure it habitually.


    after lu yanzhou said that, he immediately went to the kitchen.


    because xie chengze is in poor health, he usually uses low-glycemic whole grains such as buckwheat when cooking, but this time he used rice.


    not only that, he also plans to cook some food that xie chengze couldn¡¯t eat before, such as sweet and sour pork ribs.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know why he was very hungry today. he couldn¡¯t stand the strong fragrance when he came out of the bedroom.


    ¡°aze, are you hungry? it¡¯s almost done!¡± lu yanzhou brought the sweet and sour pork ribs to the table.


    xie chengze was not too surprised when he saw the sweet and sour pork ribs. he could also eat such a dish. after all, there are a variety of sugar substitutes now.


    he wasn¡¯t too surprised to see white rice. although he rarely ate plain white rice, he would eat it occasionally.


    however, isn¡¯t the rice that lu yanzhou served him a little too much?


    ¡°eat quickly.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    when xie chengze ate, he found that today¡¯s meal tasted better than before. he ate too much without knowing it, and then prepared to give himself insulin.


    in the end, lu yanzhou stopped him: ¡°aze, wait, don¡¯t use it!¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡± xie chengze asked.


    ¡°aze, today i¡¯m making sweet and sour pork ribs, using white sugar.¡± lu yanzhou said.


    xie chengze looked at lu yanzhou in shock, ¡°shouldn¡¯t i use insulin when eating so much sugar?¡± his blood sugar will spike and he may even pass out!


    lu yanzhou continued: ¡°aze, use a blood glucose meter to measure your blood sugar and see if there are any problems¡­your illness should be cured.¡±


    xie chengze took the instrument and measured his blood sugar. his blood sugar was indeed normal.


    ¡°aze, please eat some more. when you are full, we can ask the doctor to take a look at you.¡± lu yanzhou added.


    xie chengze no longer knew how to react, so he continued to eat in silence.


    although he was very hungry, xie chengze was used to eating less so he couldn¡¯t eat much.


    after eating and resting for a while, he checked his blood sugar again.


    this time the blood sugar was a bit high, but this is what a normal person¡¯s blood sugar is after a meal.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t know what was going on with him¡­he actually believed lu yanzhou¡¯s words and felt that he was better.


    is this possible?


    how could he suddenly recover from an illness he had diagnosed for decades?


    but lu yanzhou told him so confidently that he couldn¡¯t help but want to believe it.


    ¡°aze, i¡¯ll ask a doctor to come over and take a look at you. this will be more accurate.¡± said lu yanzhou.


    xie chengze nodded mechanically.


    when lu yanzhou saw this, he immediately called the nurse to come over and measure xie chengze¡¯s blood sugar.


    xie chengze¡¯s blood sugar is naturally normal.


    xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    seeing xie chengze sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression, lu yanzhou asked with a smile: ¡°aze, do you want some milk tea?¡±


    xie chengze nodded numbly.


    lu yanzhou smiled and ordered a takeaway. he also had milk tea and desserts delivered too.


    xie chengze had never eaten this before. he took a spoonful of cake with a small spoon and ate it. his gaze slowly lit up. then, he picked up the milk tea and took a sip.


    xie chengze tasted it carefully and felt the rich sweetness spreading on his tongue.


    he felt strangely happy, so before he knew it, he had finished a cup of milk tea and a box of small cakes.


    such food was like poison to him, but he didn¡¯t feel any discomfort after eating it.


    then he measured his blood sugar¡­of course the blood sugar is high, but this is a normal person¡¯s blood sugar level.


    xie chengze glanced at lu yanzhou, went back to the room, lay down, and closed his eyes.


    lu yanzhou was a little confused at first, but soon realized something ¡ª did xie chengze think that he was dreaming?


    forget it, if he wants to sleep, let him sleep. when he wakes up from his sleep, he will know that all this is true.


    lu yanzhou thought so, then turned on the computer and started working.


    he had just contacted yaoshi, and the page was still on the page where he asked the other party to transfer the shares to xie chengze, and the other party agreed immediately.


    the person he contacted had always been solemn in front of him. he didn¡¯t know that the person he contacted was so lively in front of xie chengze.


    lu yanzhou sent a message: ¡°is your boss xie chengze?¡±


    the person on the other side immediately replied: ¡°mr. l, you know?¡±


    ¡°mm. xie chengze told me and showed me the messages you sent.¡±


    the person on the other side: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°in that case, there is no need to transfer the shares. let him do whatever he wants with it.¡±


    ¡°mr. l, you really know our mr. xie! are you friends with him?¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s right. ¡±


    when the other party saw lu yanzhou¡¯s reply, he sent several messages in succession: ¡°no wonder mr. l, you want us to deal with the tan company and ask us to transfer the shares to mr. xie!¡±


    ¡°mr. l, you are such a good friend!¡±


    ¡°mr. l, mr. xie hasn¡¯t replied yet, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡±


    lu yanzhou replied: ¡°he is taking a nap.¡±


    ¡°no wonder¡­well, mr. xie is not in good health. i really shouldn¡¯t disturb him all the time.¡±


    ¡°he is in good health now.¡±


    ¡°really? mr. xie has been making various arrangements recently, which has made us panic.¡±


    xie chengze is making various arrangements? lu yanzhou asked: ¡°what arrangements is he making?¡±


    the person opposite did not say that xie chengze was arranging his posthumous affairs, he only replied vaguely: ¡°it¡¯s nothing, he just set up a trust fund.¡±


    lu yanzhou suddenly thought of something: ¡°does he want to leave something for lu yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°mr. l, you know?¡±


    ¡°yes, i know xie chengze very well, and so is lu yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°is that so¡­our mr. xie is absolutely in love with lu yanzhou. he considers lu yanzhou in everything and leaves a lot of things for him¡­mr. l, what kind of person is lu yanzhou? what kind of bewitching soup did he pour into mr. xie? why did mr. xie¡¯s personality suddenly change?¡±


    lu yanzhou didn¡¯t expect that xie chengze was making arrangements for after his death and planned to leave a large sum of money to him.


    he wanted to see xie chengze, he didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore¡­


    lu yanzhou replied: ¡°my name is lu yanzhou.¡±


    the other person immediately stopped talking.


    lu yanzhou smiled and went back to the bedroom to look at xie chengze, but¡­xie chengze actually fell asleep.


    he also didn¡¯t sleep well last night and should take a nap too.


    just as he was thinking this, lu yanzhou saw xie chengze¡¯s cell phone ringing.


    he quickly turned off the tone and turned it on ¡ª xie chengze had told him his mobile phone password before.


    then he saw someone sending a long list of messages to xie chengze, probably from the person he was chatting with just now.


    ¡°mr. xie! mr. l is lu yanzhou, why didn¡¯t you tell me!¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, what¡¯s going on with you two?¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, you have such a good taste? how did you find lu yanzhou?¡±


    ¡­


    lu yanzhou replied: ¡°xie chengze is sleeping. don¡¯t send him messages, it will disturb him.¡±


    the person on the other side: ¡°mr. l?¡±


    lu yanzhou: ¡°yes.¡±


    there was no movement on the other side.


    in yaoshi, a middle-aged man, who was quite young and had a protruding belly, scratched his hair and was a little doubtful about life.


    ¡°old liu, you don¡¯t have much hair to begin with, so don¡¯t scratch it anymore.¡± someone passing by saw this scene and kindly reminded him.


    old liu raised his gaze and looked at the person opposite: ¡°i encountered something that shocked me, so i really can¡¯t help it.¡±


    ¡°what happened to you again?¡± the person asked.


    the person who came was like old liu, who took turns guarding to communicate with mr. l. old liu said directly: ¡°mr. l just came to talk to me again. he said he was mr. xie¡¯s friend.¡±


    ¡°didn¡¯t we already guess this a long time ago?¡±


    ¡°yeah¡­then i chatted with him and we talked about lu yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°this is normal, who doesn¡¯t want to talk now¡­¡±


    ¡°mr. l knows about lu yanzhou, so i asked him what kind of person is lu yanzhou, and why is mr. xie so obsessed with him.¡±


    the person said, ¡°this is a normal question.¡± they are both in their forties and have known xie chengze many years ago.


    while they began to worry about their children¡¯s academic performance, xie chengze never left the single status.


    they all thought that xie chengze would be single for the rest of his life!


    as a result, mr. xie admitted that he suddenly found a partner. who wouldn¡¯t be curious!


    old liu took a deep breath: ¡°then mr. l told me that his name is lu yanzhou.¡±


    the person who came: ¡°¡­¡±


    old liu continued: ¡°i¡¯m truly stunned! i¡¯m so shocked! i thought that i have experienced enough storms all these years, and i can survive the collapse of mount tai without reacting, but i overestimated myself!¡±


    ¡°i understand why you are pulling your hair¡­¡±


    ¡°actually, i could still hold on at that time,¡± old liu sighed, ¡°i was so shocked when i saw the message, so i sent a message to mr. xie. well, i sent a lot of messages¡­you know i can be a bit chatty when i¡¯m excited.¡±


    ¡°then what?¡± the person who came here had a bad premonition.


    ¡°then mr. l, or lu yanzhou, asked me not to send it, saying that it would affect mr. xie¡¯s sleep.¡± old liu was a little dazed, ¡°after mr. xie received the messages, he has not responded for a long time and now he is sleeping¡­what on earth did they do? i didn¡¯t disturb them, right?¡±

 CH 213

    after xie chengze woke up, he looked at the ceiling blankly.


    he seemed to have had a dream. he dreamed that lu yanzhou was actually mr. l. he also dreamed that he was cured of his illness.


    this dream was truly bizarre.


    after lying on the bed and relaxing for a while, xie chengze picked up the cell phone next to him.


    then he froze.


    the information on this phone¡­so he wasn¡¯t dreaming before?


    it seemed that it was not a dream. he was fully dressed now and had obviously gotten up before.


    when xie chengze went outside, he smelled a strong fragrance again, and finally felt real.


    lu yanzhou cooked several dishes, two of which were meat dishes, braised pork and sweet and sour fish, with plenty of sugar.


    these are things that xie chengze couldn¡¯t eat before, so he wanted xie chengze to try them.


    ¡°aze, you¡¯re awake? are you hungry? do you want something to eat?¡± lu yanzhou asked.


    xie chengze measured his blood sugar and then said: ¡°i¡¯m not hungry, but i want to eat.¡±


    people¡¯s pursuit of food is innate.


    he has been suppressing this need. now that he can finally eat, he especially wants to eat things that he couldn¡¯t eat before.


    sitting at the dining table, xie chengze ate several pieces of braised pork belly and half a fish as if he were dining in a high-end restaurant.


    as for the rest? ahem, he¡¯s not hungry yet and can¡¯t eat.


    after eating, xie chengze wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked at lu yanzhou: ¡°i heard there is a night market nearby? let¡¯s go shopping together.¡±


    ¡°okay.¡± lu yanzhou agreed.


    xie chengze burped: ¡°let¡¯s walk over slowly, it can help digest¡­let¡¯s tell the nurse that you have indigestion, and order some stomach and digestion tablets.¡±


    lu yanzhou smiled: ¡°okay.¡± he definitely didn¡¯t have indigestion, but xie chengze did need it.


    lu yanzhou asked the nurse for stomach and digestive tablets, and then went out with xie chengze to the night market.


    overeating is not a good thing, but xie chengze barely ate anything before, which made him feel distressed¡­so, let him eat more.


    the two of them walked to the night market. xie chengze wanted to taste everything, but unfortunately his stomach capacity was too small so he couldn¡¯t eat it after a while.


    lu yanzhou couldn¡¯t eat anymore either¡­xie chengze only tasted a bit, then he ate the rest.


    ¡°aze, let¡¯s come back tomorrow.¡± lu yanzhou said to xie chengze.


    ¡°okay.¡± xie chengze agreed and reluctantly left with lu yanzhou.


    the next day, xie chengze had diarrhea.


    however, his love for food has not diminished. he ate so much that lu yanzhou had to drag him to exercise.


    if he just eats and doesn¡¯t exercise, xie chengze will probably gain weight soon!


    besides, now that xie chengze is in good health, he really should exercise so that his health will be good.


    xie chengze is still very restrained. after eating for two days, he no longer forces his digestion ability and only eats when he is hungry.


    but he still prefers sweets and wants to eat some every day.


    lu yanzhou was a little helpless: ¡°aze, you can eat as much as you want recently, but we should eat less in the future so that we can live a long life.¡±


    ¡°i know.¡± xie chengze squinted his eyes as he ate a piece of chocolate.


    he was in poor health before and didn¡¯t dare to make long-term plans, but it was different now.


    he wants to live longer! he needs to take better care of himself!


    he must die after lu yanzhou gets old!


    ¡°by the way, aze, i made an appointment with the official. when are you free? shall we go meet them together?¡± said lu yanzhou.


    then, xie chengze also remembered this matter.


    his sudden recovery from his illness was so bizarre. in comparison, the fact that lu yanzhou was actually mr. l was nothing.


    xie chengze felt that lu yanzhou must have had some kind of strange encounter. he had been thinking about it the past few days and didn¡¯t know whether he should ask. today¡­after thinking about it, xie chengze asked: ¡°yanzhou, my health is now good, will it have an impact on you?¡±


    ¡°no,¡± lu yanzhou said, ¡°aze, your good health is the reward for doing a lot of good deeds. we just need to help others more in the future.¡±


    xie chengze was stunned and suddenly realized why lu yanzhou didn¡¯t want any money when he gave him those technology but ask yaoshi to donate it instead.


    was it for him?


    if this is the case, then he must let yaoshi do more good deeds.


    xie chengze felt relieved after he was sure that lu yanzhou is fine.


    he and xie chengze set off together to meet those official.


    a well-known club.


    the official responsible for contacting mr. l stood at the door of the club, looking at the club in front of them, and sighed: ¡°i didn¡¯t expect mr. l to ask us to meet in such a high-end place.¡±


    ¡°mr. l should be very rich.¡±


    ¡°no wonder he doesn¡¯t want money.¡±


    ¡°i wonder who he is.¡±


    ¡­


    they went in, reported their box number, then someone immediately took them into the box.


    as a sign of importance, they left the house early and arrived an hour early because there was no traffic on the road.


    mr. l probably wouldn¡¯t arrive for a while, so everyone started chatting. during the chat, of course, the issue of tan and xie company came up.


    ¡°tan company is done, they are definitely doomed this time. however, tan shaojun should be able to come out, since his father has accepted all the blame.¡±


    ¡°tan is now disposing of their assets in such a high profile, but it¡¯s a pity that everyone has lowered the price.¡±


    ¡°tan shaojun bought xie¡¯s shares at a low price before, and everyone thought that he took a big advantage. however, now he has to sell them at an even lower price and lose a lot of money.¡±


    ¡°speaking of xie¡­without xie chengze, in the future who knows what xie company will be like.¡±


    ¡°is xie chengze really terminally ill? what illness does he have?¡±


    ¡°it seems to be a very serious form of diabetes, the congenital type. i guess there are too many complications now that it is out of control.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze is quite capable, it¡¯s a pity.¡±


    ¡°he is very capable. not only did he manage xie company to prosper, he also invested in yaoshi¡­it was just his health that held him back.¡±


    ¡­


    xie¡¯s stock price has been unstable recently, and there are many rumors about xie chengze.


    everyone thought xie chengze was about to die.


    these people also feel that it is a pity.


    just as they was talking, someone¡¯s cell phone received a message: ¡°mr. l is here!¡±


    everyone stood up and prepared to meet mr. l.


    they have many speculations about mr. l and have targeted several people.


    it¡¯s just¡­mr. l decided to meet them and made appointments with them, but the few people they targeted still didn¡¯t respond and didn¡¯t come to the city.


    therefore, they all guessed wrong.


    they wonder who mr. l is.


    several people came to the door of the box and saw xie chengze who they were talking about before.


    xie chengze, who was said to be too sick to get out of bed, had a rosy face and looked very healthy. he was accompanied by a handsome young man in his twenties.


    these people smiled at xie chengze and continued to wait, but xie chengze stood still in front of them: ¡°hello.¡±


    they were a little confused, then xie chengze continued: ¡°let¡¯s go in first.¡±


    this box was reserved by xie chengze, and he is also very familiar with it, so he walked in first.


    those who came out to greet him: ¡°¡­¡± wait, mr. l won¡¯t be xie chengze, right? xie chengze can also research while managing the company?


    isn¡¯t he a little too powerful?


    however, they quickly recovered and followed xie chengze into the box.


    lu yanzhou knew they were confused, so he didn¡¯t try to be mysterious and said with a smile, ¡°hello, i¡¯m mr. l.¡±


    mr. l is not xie chengze! that is not bad!


    wait, mr. l is this young man¡­this is also surprising!


    mr. l¡­so young?


    they had never even heard of this person, they didn¡¯t even know him.


    however, he came with xie chengze, and the two looked very familiar. this situation solved some of their doubts.


    they was wondering why mr. l gave yaoshi technology and disliked the tan company. it turned out to be because of xie chengze!


    they had inquired with yaoshi before, but yaoshi didn¡¯t said anything about it. this was a bit too much.


    these people cheered up and started chatting with lu yanzhou.


    lu yanzhou was very familiar with such scenes. he took control of the talk with a smile, and then said that he was xie chengze¡¯s lover and he liked to study things. it was originally just a hobby, but later tan shaojun targeted him, so he planned to do something about it. this is why he gave all kinds of technology out¡­


    lu yanzhou tried his best to round out his lie, as for the rest¡­there are many geniuses in this world, aren¡¯t there?


    it¡¯s very simple for him to play a genius well.


    while lu yanzhou was talking with those officials, xie chengze ordered some dishes.


    he used to come to this club to eat, but at that time many of the dishes could only be seen but not eaten. it was different now. those things that he could not eat before could now be tasted.


    the dim sum here was recommended by many people, but he had never eaten it before.


    when the dim sum arrived, xie chengze picked one up with chopsticks, took a bite, and then narrowed his eyes. the dim sum tasted very good, sweet but not greasy. he liked it very much.


    after eating the dim sum, xie chengze started to taste other foods and poured himself a glass of juice.


    people who have been following xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± is there something wrong with this situation? doesn¡¯t xie chengze have severe diabetes? why does he still eat sweets?


    just as they were thinking this, they heard lu yanzhou say: ¡°aze, eat less sweets.¡±


    is that all? this person felt that lu yanzhou would definitely take strict control of xie chengze, and should even use insulin.


    in the end, lu yanzhou just said: ¡°if you eat too much, you will gain weight and your skin will get worse.¡±


    xie chengze stopped eating.


    people who follow xie chengze: ¡°¡­¡± that¡¯s it?


    lu yanzhou quickly reached an agreement on cooperation with the officials. he had no requirements. he just hoped that the laboratory could be built near where xie chengze worked, so that he could go home at any time.


    the officials all agreed. lu yanzhou was different from other scientists. he grew up barbarically on his own. they couldn¡¯t put too many demands on lu yanzhou.


    however, they asked about matters related to tan: ¡°as for tan, does mr. lu have any ideas?¡±


    ¡°whatever the law decides is good! i believe the law is fair.¡±


    ¡°don¡¯t worry, mr. lu. the law is absolutely fair.¡±


    after the negotiation, lu yanzhou and xie chengze ate together, and talked from time to time.


    for example, when xie chengze said that he liked a certain dish, lu yanzhou said that he could make it so delicious and that he could cook it for xie chengze to eat tomorrow.


    then, they kissed, it was really indescribably intimate.


    the officials suddenly felt that they were full just by watching them eat.


    besides, looking at xie chengze like this, he is not sick at all! so, could it be that all the rumors outside were spread intentionally by xie chengze?


    xie chengze¡¯s method is really not simple!


    tan shaojun wanted to swallow xie company, but what was the result? not to mention that xie chengze acquired a lot of xie¡¯s shares through yaoshi, tan shaojun was also finished!


    tan shaojun is indeed finished.


    his father had done some illegal things before, and after some investigation, it was even found out that he had also bribed people!


    father tan was destined to never come out, so he simply took all the blame and cleared tan shaojun¡¯s name.


    it is true that tan shaojun has not really committed anything. after all, he is still young. although he is the president of tan company, his father is still in charge of many things.


    however, if tan shaojun wants to go out, he must pay a fine. the assets accumulated by his family over the years were sold off just to pay the fine, leaving almost nothing left for him!


    tan shaojun was at a loss, not knowing what his future would be like.


    in fact, there are still some assets in his mother¡¯s name, and the jewelry and other things they bought before can be saved, so tan shaojun is still richer than ordinary people since he should still have ten millions left on his hands.


    but that¡¯s a little too little for him.


    among the many people who wanted to buy the assets in his hands at lower prices, he chose yaoshi who offered the highest price for the transaction. after selling xie¡¯s shares and even tan¡¯s shares to yaoshi, tan shaojun¡¯s life hit the bottom.


    fortunately, xie chengze won¡¯t live long, which gave him some comfort.


    no matter what happens to him, he still has decades to live, so there is always a chance to turn around. xie chengze is different, he is about to die!


    tan shaojun took a deep breath and planned to take advantage of the deal he had just made with yaoshi to attend yaoshi¡¯s celebration banquet to find opportunities.

 CH 214

    yaoshi was very popular this year.


    in the beginning, it was because this company strangely started donating money to charity.


    no one noticed this at first, but later someone accidentally noticed it and posted it online, which made yaoshi a hot search topic and attracted numerous praises.


    at first, some people thought that yaoshi was trying to sell products, but they were soon slapped in the face. after all, yaoshi¡¯s products are not aimed at ordinary people at all.


    at that time, people who saw the hot search wanted to buy some yaoshi products to support yaoshi, but they couldn¡¯t buy them at all ¡ª they can¡¯t just buy fiberglass back home, right?


    they can¡¯t even buy yoshi¡¯s stock ¡ª it¡¯s not listed!


    so¡­yao shi is doing good deeds sincerely.


    yaoshi¡¯s donations continued, and gradually everyone paid less attention to this matter. they only felt in their hearts that this company was really good.


    as a result, at this time, yaoshi launched many new technologies and announced that they had developed a robot that far surpassed other countries in every aspect!


    this is awesome!


    also, how much does yaoshi earn like this? not only can they keep donating money, but they can also support a large research team?


    those achievements and artificial intelligence-related products really caused a huge shock in the industry.


    everyone is curious about who mr. l, who led the team to research so many things!


    but they couldn¡¯t find the person to recruit at all. this mr. l was so mysterious that even yaoshi¡¯s employees didn¡¯t know who he was.


    yaoshi has expanded its popularity through donations and introduced so many new technologies. everyone thought they would take the opportunity to go public and make a lot of money.


    but yaoshi didn¡¯t do that!


    not only did it not trap money, it also spent a lot of money to acquire xie¡¯s shares, and bought xie¡¯s and tan¡¯s shares from tan shaojun.


    isn¡¯t yaoshi too rich? as everyone knows, scientific research is very expensive, but yaoshi¡¯s behavior¡­seems like all the technologies it possesses were picked up for nothing!


    or is there actually a huge financial group behind yaoshi?


    everyone was very curious about yaoshi. at this time, yaoshi released another new technology and cooperated with the country.


    so cool! neither xie nor tan has made much noise recently, yaoshi is the one who takes the lead.


    because of this, when yaoshi had a press conference and planned a celebration banquet¡­everyone was vying to go.


    yaoshi¡¯s press conference was a success and caused an uproar on the internet. countless people cheered for it ¡ª yaoshi has given face to the country!


    the identity of mr. l¡­still no one knows.


    this matter is confidential. lu yanzhou¡¯s identity is too important. if others find out, he may be in danger, so he needs to be kept secret.


    lu yanzhou himself didn¡¯t want to make it public. if too many people knew that he was mr. l¡­would he still be able to go to the night market with xie chengze in the future? definitely not!


    however, although his identity is not made public, some people still know it. everyone who knows it has signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot tell anyone.


    at this moment, lu yanzhou and xie chengze were with xie chengze¡¯s partners who knew lu yanzhou¡¯s identity.


    xie chengze did not appear at the previous press conference, but he will attend the celebration banquet later and make it public that he is actually the largest shareholder of yaoshi.


    as for why he did this¡­xie chengze simply wanted to spite tan shaojun.


    tan shaojun encouraged xie ruanxin to tamper with his medicine. this act was no different from murder. however, due to various reasons, he could not prosecute the other party.


    not to mention, tan shaojun has targeted lu yanzhou several times.


    he really wants revenge.


    xie chengze also knew something about tan shaojun. he specially asked yaoshi to send an invitation to tan shaojun, just to make tan shaojun¡¯s mentality collapse.


    ¡°mr. xie, you are bullying a child!¡± old liu clicked his tongue several times.


    lu yanzhou glanced at the person who had been in contact with him before: ¡°how did aze bully children? tan shaojun is only a few years younger than aze, but he is much older than me¡­he still bullies me.¡±


    old liu suddenly stopped talking. he always felt a little embarrassed when facing lu yanzhou now.


    he actually thought that lu yanzhou had fed xie chengze betwitch soup before¡­in this situation, it was clearly xie chengze who had fed lu yanzhou the betwitch soup!


    look at how protective he is!


    besides, tan shaojun did offend lu yanzhou, but lu yanzhou didn¡¯t take it seriously at first, right? it was after tan shaojun took action against mr. xie that lu yanzhou faced off against tan shaojun.


    of course this is good for them.


    yaoshi is developing so well now, all thanks to lu yanzhou, and even xie chengze¡­xie chengze looks much better than him and also looks younger than him. this is also because of lu yanzhou!


    speaking of which, xie chengze is really handsome today. he will probably amaze a lot of people when he appears on the stage.


    why hadn¡¯t he noticed before that xie chengze was better-looking than a celebrity?


    yaoshi hired a large club to hold the celebration banquet, so all kinds of luxury cars came one after another.


    tan shaojun drove his mother¡¯s car and came here alone.


    jiang mi also wants to come, but he will not let jiang mi come here to embarrass him!


    this person doesn¡¯t know anything except crying. what can he do if he comes? it will only cause him to be laughed at by others!


    as for xie ruanxin¡­tan shaojun and xie ruanxin had a fierce fight before. now that something happened to the tan family recently, not only did xie ruanxin hide far away, she also hated him so much that it was impossible to be with him.


    one must know that xie ruanxin wanted to sell the shares to tan shaojun before marrying tan shaojun. in this way, once the money is obtained, the shares will still belong to her children in the future!


    but now, xie¡¯s shares have been sold by tan shaojun!


    xie ruanxin just wants to bite off tan shaojun¡¯s heart at this moment.


    the club where the celebration banquet was held was where tan shaojun used to come often, but he may not be able to come again in the future.


    tan shaojun looked at the door, took a deep breath, and walked inside.


    many people have already arrived, and many of these people are known to tan shaojun. of course, they also know tan shaojun.


    tan shaojun could feel that many eyes were on him.after seeing him, these people would start chatting¡­


    they are most likely talking about him!


    realizing this, tan shaojun felt quite uncomfortable.


    he could only recall stories such as ¡®sleeping on the fire and tasting gall¡¯, telling himself that after thirty years in hedong and thirty years in hexi, he would be able to stand up again sooner or later, so he didn¡¯t need to care about these people¡­


    he also comforted himself with xie chengze¡¯s situation again ¡ª at least he was healthier than xie chengze!


    who knows how many days xie chengze can live!


    tan shaojun held his head high, endured the discomfort in his heart, and walked towards an elder who had a good relationship with his father in the past.


    he came here just to find a chance to make a comeback.


    however, even though he had already humbled himself, they still rejected him with a smile.


    he has no money, so these people look down on him!


    tan shaojun was filled with hatred. he always felt that more people were talking about him.


    actually, no one is talking about tan shaojun.


    everyone has talked about the tan family¡¯s affairs a few days ago. there is no need to talk about it anymore these days.


    besides, in this kind of situation, everyone is busy making connections, who has time to care about tan shaojun?


    the person who had just talk with tan shaojun was complaining a little helplessly.


    he had normal business dealings with tan shaojun¡¯s father, and he had never received any favors from tan shaojun¡¯s father. how could tan shaojun be so shameless and want his help?


    tan shaojun¡¯s character is not good. he had tricked a girl from the xie family into selling stocks to him before¡­they couldn¡¯t trust tan shaojun!


    at this moment, everyone was talking more about yaoshi.


    ¡°i heard that the boss of the company that invested in yaoshi will come over today.¡±


    ¡°yaoshi will definitely make a lot of money in the future, that man is getting rich!¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s because the person spent the money first. i wonder who that person is and why they are so rich!¡±


    ¡­


    everyone whispered, and then mentioned xie chengze: ¡°i heard that xie chengze was discharged from the hospital.¡±


    ¡°i heard that too.¡±


    ¡°i don¡¯t know if he will come here today.¡±


    ¡°yaoshi has acquired so many shares of xie company. if he is in good health, he should come over.¡±


    ¡­


    occasionally, some people who like to gossip will talk about lu yanzhou.


    ¡°i heard that xie chengze has found a young boy now.¡±


    ¡°yes. when he was hospitalized, that boy was taking care of him.¡±


    ¡°mr. zhang went to the hospital to see xie chengze and also met the young boy. he spoke quite highly of that boy.¡±


    ¡°xie chengze has been single and has been working hard for xie company for many years. with the situation now¡­it¡¯s good to find someone to accompany him.¡±


    ¡­


    everyone understands that xie chengze has found a lover.


    he won¡¯t live long, so he must want to enjoy himself before he dies.


    as for whether the person may come for money¡­that¡¯s not a big deal.


    they all have money, so they don¡¯t care whether people come for their money or them, as long as they can provide them with what they want.


    however, everyone thought it was normal for xie chengze to do this, but they didn¡¯t quite understand tan shaojun¡¯s play on true love, especially tan shaojun¡¯s play true love while coaxing xie ruanxin.


    whose family doesn¡¯t have a junior? if their children meet such a scumbag¡­haha!


    thus, the tan family¡¯s fate has indeed come to an end!


    while they were chatting, they saw a door next to them open, and several people filed in.


    among them are several leaders of yaoshi, and¡­xie chengze?


    it¡¯s not surprising that xie chengze and yaoshi¡¯s leaders are together. yaoshi now has so many shares in xie company, so the two sides must have a good talk.


    but this xie chengze¡­why does he look so much younger?


    everyone¡¯s impression of xie chengze is that he has a bald head, a very thin figure, and a tired face.


    but the xie chengze in front of them here¡­


    he looked to be in his thirties but very handsome¡­he looked out of place with these middle-aged entrepreneurs.


    wasn¡¯t xie chengze sick and hospitalized for several months? is this really what someone who just recovered from illness looks like? it looked like he had just come back from a honeymoon.


    after the surprise, everyone stepped forward to greet xie chengze.


    ¡°mr. xie, long time no see.¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, you look very good!¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, how do you take care of yourself? can you share your experience with me when you have time? haha.¡±


    ¡­


    no one mentioned xie chengze hospitalization. they chatted with xie chengze with smiles and praised his good looks again and again.


    xie chengze said: ¡°i entered xie company when i was in my twenties. it has been seventeen or eight years but i haven¡¯t had much rest. after taking a rest during this period, i feel better.¡±


    ¡°people do have to work together.¡±


    ¡°health is the most important thing.¡±


    ¡°i should find time to take a rest too.¡±


    ¡­


    some people talked to xie chengze, and of course some people talked to old liu and the others.


    the two parties were smiling as they talked. as they talked, an old man who had some shares in xie company asked xie chengze: ¡°little xie, are you okay?¡±


    this old man is mr. zhang who was mentioned before. he has investments in many companies and is very generous and helpful. people in the circle respect him, including xie chengze.


    xie chengze said: ¡°don¡¯t worry, mr. zhang, i¡¯m fine.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. from the look of your face, it doesn¡¯t look like anything is wrong.¡± mr. zhang smiled. he had seen xie chengze in the hospital before, and at that time he felt that xie chengze¡¯s situation should not be as serious as what is reported outside ¡ª if it were really serious, how could he be admitted to a nursing home instead of an intensive care unit?


    ¡°thank you.¡± xie chengze smiled.


    mr. zhang asked again: ¡°little xie, what will xie company be like in the future? what did you and yaoshi talk about?¡±


    xie chengze said sincerely: ¡°mr. zhang, don¡¯t worry, everything will be business as usual for xie company from now on.¡±


    ¡°yaoshi won¡¯t participate in the xie company¡¯s management? are you planning to come back to manage xie company?¡± mr. zhang asked.


    ¡°yes.¡± xie chengze said.


    ¡°that¡¯s good, but you have to take care of your health¡­don¡¯t worry, i will definitely stand by you when the shareholders¡¯ meeting is held.¡±


    xie chengze smiled and thanked him.


    mr. zhang added: ¡°by the way, little xie, you haven¡¯t had any big expenses for so many years, so you should have some funds on hand? how about you discuss with yaoshi and buy some shares from them? in this way, in the future, you will have a bigger voice in xie company.¡±


    yaoshi¡¯s acquisition of xie¡¯s shares this time included not only tan shaojun¡¯s, but also others.


    their shareholding in xie¡¯s company exceeds xie chengze¡¯s.


    xie chengze said: ¡°mr. zhang, i did have some money before, and i used it to invest¡­¡±


    ¡°what did you invest in?¡± mr. zhang was a little worried. no one in their circle had ever lost money on investment! did xie chengze also lose money?


    otherwise, since there is nothing wrong with his health, why didn¡¯t mr. xie react at all when he encountered the crisis before?


    xie chengze coughed lightly: ¡°i invested in yaoshi.¡±


    after saying that, xie chengze raised his eyes and looked at tan shaojun, who was coming here to talk to old liu and the others, then nodded towards tan shaojun with a smile.


    tan shaojun should be able to hear what he said.


    xie chengze invested in yaoshi?!


    everyone was shocked.


    even mr. zhang was a little confused.


    at this time, old liu said: ¡°mr. xie, it was an understatement that you invested in yaoshi. you are the largest shareholder of yaoshi.¡±


    xie chengze is actually the largest shareholder of yaoshi?! everyone was even more surprised.


    xie chengze smiled: ¡°i was lucky. when i had money, i opened an investment company. later, when yaoshi encountered a crisis, i acquired yaoshi.¡±


    his father left him and xie ruanxin more than just xie stocks. there¡¯s also some real estate and funds.


    he can also get dividends from xie company every year.


    he didn¡¯t have any expenses, so he invested a lot of money in yaoshi.


    ¡°mr. xie is amazing!¡±


    ¡°as expected of mr. xie!¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s makes no difference whether yaoshi or mr. xie holds it!¡±


    ¡­


    the crowd looked at xie chengze with an even intense gaze for a moment, then they also couldn¡¯t help but look at tan shaojun with a sympathetic gaze.


    tan shaojun was bent on swallowing xie¡¯s, but after tossing and turning for so long, he ended up giving xie chengze all of it.


    xie company was now completely owned by xie chengze.


    xie chengze is truly capable! who would have thought that in addition to xie company, xie chengze would have such a large private company?


    no wonder xie¡¯s and tan¡¯s were up against each other before, but tan¡¯s end up losing, even the officials were helping xie.


    xie¡¯s didn¡¯t reach a level that could make the officials step in, but yaoshi had so many technologies, and they also donated so much, it was very normal for the officials to help.


    who wouldn¡¯t like a company like yaoshi?


    ¡°mr. xie is truly admirable!¡±


    ¡°mr. xie, we¡¯ve always wanted to cooperate with yaoshi¡­¡±


    ¡°where did mr. xie find his team? yaoshi¡¯s technology is too advanced.¡±


    ¡­


    everyone was circling around xie chengze. by this time, no one was paying attention to tan shaojun anymore.


    tan shaojun stood not far away, feeling chills all over his body.


    yaoshi turned out to be xie chengze¡¯s!


    so after tossing and turning for so long, not only did he not get xie¡¯s, but he also lost tan¡¯s?


    one has to know that what he sold to yaoshi was not only xie¡¯s shares, but also tan¡¯s!


    tan shaojun¡¯s eyes were about to burst.


    xie chengze¡¯s understatement makes him look like a failure!


    at this moment, tan shaojun wanted to rush up and argue with xie chengze, but he didn¡¯t dare.


    xie chengze not only had xie company, there¡¯s also yaoshi. if he targeted xie chengze, he would have absolutely no good result!


    now the only thing that makes tan shaojun more comfortable is that no matter how xie chengze dresses glamorously, he will not live long!


    xie chengze will die soon!


    these days, whoever lives longer will have the last laugh!


    tan shaojun didn¡¯t have the face to stay in the crowded place, so he retreated to a corner and looked at xie chengze with a gaze that he couldn¡¯t wait to eat him.


    before he came here, the relationship he most wanted to establish with was actually yaoshi.


    yaoshi had so many new technologies, if he could join yaoshi, or get a certain authorization from yaoshi, his future would definitely be different.


    but now, he could only stay in the corner and watch xie chengze being surrounded and sought after by others.


    even lu yanzhou, in this banquet, was more popular than him.


    lu yanzhou was indeed very popular today, after all, xie chengze kept bringing him around and looking at him from time to time.


    when xie chengze introduced him to the others, he also kept saying all sorts of nice things.


    xie chengze obviously valued him. under such circumstances, the others naturally treated him very well, praising him for his youthfulness and all.


    after the crowd had chatted for some time, xie chengze had something to do ¡ª at this banquet, he was going to make a speech.


    when xie chengze went on stage to speak, lu yanzhou talked with old liu and the others.


    old liu and the others knew lu yanzhou¡¯s identity and treated him exceptionally well. when the people around them saw this scene, they dared not underestimate lu yanzhou.


    many people had even planned to get in touch with lu yanzhou so that he could speak for them in front of xie chengze.


    tan shaojun really couldn¡¯t stand this situation.


    lu yanzhou had always been an existence that he looked down on, but now he had even climbed over his head!


    he wanted to cause trouble for lu yanzhou, but he couldn¡¯t find the opportunity to do so.


    instead, he was the one being troubled.


    tan shaojun had always looked down on his peers around him because of how powerful he was.


    he found xie chengze, who was stronger than him, obnoxious, and naturally there were people who found him obnoxious.


    there is also xie ruanxin¡­xie ruanxin has a good family background. in fact, there¡¯s a lot of people who want to court her. it¡¯s just that those suitors are not as good as tan shaojun.


    these people no longer court xie ruanxin now, but they are still disgusted with tan shaojun.


    with such a good opportunity, they naturally wanted to see tan shaojun¡¯s jokes.


    at the banquet, it was impossible for them to make a move on tan shaojun, but there was no problem with blocking tan shaojun and making some snide remarks.


    after tan shaojun was sneered at and finally ¡®regained his freedom¡¯, xie chengze had already finished his speech.


    tan shaojun subconsciously looked for xie chengze, and then saw xie chengze with lu yanzhou in the dessert area to see a variety of desserts.


    tan shaojun, who had suffered a lot of aggravation, couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and walked towards xie chengze.


    he had already offended xie chengze, so it wouldn¡¯t hurt to offend him a little more!


    he didn¡¯t want to do anything else right now, he just wanted to taunt xie chengze a few times!


    so what if xie chengze is great? he couldn¡¯t eat these desserts at all!


    coming to xie chengze¡¯s side, tan shaojun hadn¡¯t even opened his mouth to speak when he heard lu yanzhou say, ¡°aze, just eat two desserts, don¡¯t eat too much.¡±


    ¡°i want to eat a few more.¡± xie chengze sighed. many of the desserts here were ones he hadn¡¯t eaten before.


    ¡°let the cook make one every day for you to eat in the future¡­if you eat too much at once, aren¡¯t you afraid of getting diabetes?¡± lu yanzhou said.


    xie chengze said, ¡°people are really miserable. can¡¯t eat this, can¡¯t have that, afraid of getting fat all day long, afraid of eating something bad.¡±


    saying this, xie chengze took a bite of the desserts.


    tan shaojun¡¯s mocking words were swallowed hard back into his stomach, and subconsciously questioned, ¡°xie chengze, you¡¯re not ill?¡±


    ¡°i never said i was sick.¡± said xie chengze.


    xie chengze didn¡¯t like to tell people about his personal matters, so he never told people that he had diabetes.


    his parents had never been very accepting of the matter, much less publicized it.


    his doctor is very clear about his physical condition, but he will not tell anyone either. recently, after his health got better, he contacted his doctor and gave him a large sum of money and signed an agreement with him, so that he would not tell anyone about his physical condition.


    speaking of which, everyone now knows that his health is not very good¡­¡­it¡¯s xie ruanxin and tan shaojun who said it.


    tan shaojun is going crazy.


    the only thing that supported him nowadays, so that he could keep going, was the matter that xie chengze actually wouldn¡¯t live for long.


    as a result, now¡­xie chengze is not sick at all?


    he and xie chengze are about the same age, it¡¯s uncertain who will live longer in the future!


    tan shaojun couldn¡¯t take it anymore and staggered out of the clubhouse.


    the others naturally saw this scene, and after seeing it, they didn¡¯t know what to say.


    so, xie chengze wasn¡¯t sick at all?


    they remembered that it was xie ruanxin who first said that xie chengze was sick, so was this girl tricked, or was she unable to see her brother well?


    but no matter what, if xie chengze wasn¡¯t sick, xie¡¯s and yaosi¡¯s future was bright!


    xie chengze was still less than forty years old, and they, entrepreneurs, generally retired late, which meant that xie chengze would still be able to work for at least another thirty years!


    such people should establish friendship with!


    this celebration banquet was successfully completed.


    after the celebration banquet ended, the video of xie chengze¡¯s speech at the banquet was sent online.


    xie chengze sent it on his own initiative, so that it would be beneficial to xie company.


    therefore, those netizens who had thought that xie company was going to be finished were confused.


    ¡°so xie chengze is not terminally ill at all?¡±


    ¡°we were all fooled before?¡±


    ¡°what the hell is going on here?¡±


    ¡°yaoshi is actually owned by xie chengze. awesome!¡±


    ¡°wasn¡¯t xie chengze¡¯s photo full of gray hair before? the person in this video looks younger than me who is in my twenties.¡±


    ¡°is that p photo?¡±


    ¡­


    at first, only people who follow financial news watched the video of xie chengze¡¯s speech, but later, some financial bloggers have made a special videos to explain the struggle between xie and tan and the rise of yaoshi.


    when making videos, they would inevitably quote xie chengze¡¯s videos, so more people knew xie chengze.


    ¡°this handsome guy is the president? he is already the president, yet he is still so powerful?¡±


    ¡°this mr. xie is so awesome!¡±


    ¡°tan wanted to deal with him, but he swallowed tan in turn! this must be the legendary domineering president!¡±


    ¡°i read a ceo story, i found a face to substitute it now!¡±


    ¡°so handsome!¡±


    ¡­


    xie chengze has naturally seen all this on the internet.


    he just wanted to restore xie¡¯s stock price, but in the end¡­how did he become an internet celebrity?


    but this doesn¡¯t seem like a bad thing?


    t/n: 3 more extras then this word over £Ü£¨£ô?£ô£©£¯

 CH 215

    In addition to Xie Company, Xie Chengze also has a big company like Yaoshi!


    Xie Chengze is not terminally ill, there is nothing wrong with his body!


    News of the two quickly spread.


    The people that couldn¡¯t accept this news, besides Tan Shaojun, are Jiang Mi and Xie Ruanxin.


    That day, Tan Shaojun went to attend the banquet hosted by Yaoshi. When he came home with a dark face, Jiang Mi greeted him: ¡°Shaojun, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?¡±


    He was now afraid that Tan Shaojun would drive him away. He even learned to cook to please Tan Shaojun.


    However, Tan Shaojun pushed him away: ¡°You only know to ask me if I¡¯m hungry? You don¡¯t understand anything and you don¡¯t know anything. Why on earth did I fall in love with you in the first place!¡±


    Jiang Mi was pushed and staggered, he almost fell.


    Even if his attitude is much softer now, he still can¡¯t bear to be treated like this: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? Tan Shaojun, don¡¯t forget that it was you who courted me. I was unwilling at first, and now you dislike me. If you have the ability, go to Xie Ruanxin!¡±


    When he mentioned Xie Ruanxin, Tan Shaojun became even more angry: ¡°Xie Ruanxin, that bitch! She lied to me!¡±


    Tan Shaojun became interested in Xie Company because Xie Ruanxin told him that Xie Chengze would not live long.


    If he had known that Xie Chengze was not sick¡­how could he have targeted Xie Company!


    Besides, he asked Xie Ruanxin to tamper with Xie Chengze¡¯s medicine, and Xie Ruanxin also told him that the matter was done¡­Xie Chengze was not sick at all, how was the matter done?


    During those few months, according to Xie Chengze, he took a vacation to relax!


    Tan Shaojun now feels that everything he did before was a trap dug for him by the Xie!


    Tan Shaojun threw things and cursed Xie Chengze and Xie Ruanxin, feeling that these two people were working together to harm him.


    Jiang Mi listened to Tan Shaojun¡¯s words and roughly figured out the situation.


    Xie Chengze is not sick! The company called Yaoshi that has become popular recently is owned by Xie Chengze!


    Then Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡­will they be together forever?


    Tan Shaojun now hates Xie Chengze and Xie Ruanxin the most, but he is also very angry with Jiang Mi. Seeing that Jiang Mi was distracted, he immediately said: ¡°Why, are you still thinking about Lu Yanzhou? He doesn¡¯t want you anymore. Xie Chengze treated him so well, he would be crazy if he became your dog licker again!¡±


    Tan Shaojun originally thought that everything about Jiang Mi is good, so he thought it was only normal for people like Lu Yanzhou to want something from Jiang Mi.


    But now that he has no money of his own, and considering the problem from the perspective of interests, he feels that Jiang Mi is useless.


    If he hadn¡¯t been with Jiang Mi, and had married some white rich beauty¡­Now he wouldn¡¯t have to go around begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and his wife would be able to help him make a comeback!


    Besides, without Jiang Mi, his current reputation would not be so bad, and he could still find a good marriage. But because of Jiang Mi, no young lady from any family is willing to deal with him now.


    It¡¯s all Jiang Mi¡¯s fault!


    Why did he fall in love with a good-for-nothing person like Jiang Mi in the first place?


    Tan Shaojun sneered and spoke again: ¡°Lu Yanzhou will never care about you again! At today¡¯s banquet, so many people gathered around Lu Yanzhou, fawning over him¡­He is even more popular than me now, so who do you think you are?¡±


    Jiang Mi¡¯s face was ashen, but he couldn¡¯t even say a word to refute.


    He originally believed that Lu Yanzhou loved him, so he felt that he had a way out. But it turned out that Lu Yanzhou had raised him as a child, and now he has severed ties with him¡­


    He has no way out!


    ¡°To fall in love with you, I might as well fall in love with Lu Yanzhou. If it were him who was with me, he would at least be capable of working and living well now!¡± Said Tan Shaojun.


    Jiang Mi finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore: ¡°Tan Shaojun, you bastard!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me being a bastard? If you have the ability, you can go, get out of here!¡± Said Tan Shaojun.


    Jiang Mi really didn¡¯t dare to leave.


    He had barely lived on his own, and he was also obsessed with living a good life.


    If he leaves now, even if he can find a job¡­he may be able to earn ten thousand a month, which is not bad, but ten thousand¡­can¡¯t even rent the house he lives in now.


    No matter how depressed Tan Shaojun was, he still had a lot of money on his hands, but he had nothing.


    And he has always claimed that he has true love for Tan Shaojun¡­How can he leave now?


    The two had a big argument, but in the end they remained the same.


    For Tan Shaojun, it doesn¡¯t matter what he wants now, so naturally he won¡¯t really drive Jiang Mi away ¡ª Jiang Mi is here, at least there is someone to cook for him and warm his bed.


    As for the rest¡­Tan Shaojun gritted his teeth and planned to go to Xie Ruanxin tomorrow and try to find a way to get some money from Xie Ruanxin.


    Like this¡­plus his own assets, he can think about starting a business.


    At the same time, Xie¡¯s old house.


    Xie Ruanxin did not go to Yaoshi¡¯s banquet.


    She was not interested in such an occasion, and she could not go.


    She originally knew nothing about what happened at the banquet, but it couldn¡¯t be helped because she had a group of plastic sisters.


    In the past, Xie Ruanxin had always been the one who attracted the most attention in the circle.


    Father Xie loved his little daughter Xie Ruanxin very much, and he also loved her mother very much. When he died, he not only left a large sum of money to Xie Ruanxin¡¯s mother, but also divided the remaining assets between Xie Chengze and Xie Ruanxin equally.


    Therefore, Xie Ruanxin always has a lot of money in her hands.


    The key is that while brothers and sisters from other families are constantly fighting over family property, Xie Chengze has never cared about Xie Ruanxin¡¯s. The Xie family¡¯s annual dividends have all been given to Xie Ruanxin.


    In the past few years, Xie Ruanxin was really indescribable, so many people were jealous of her.


    However, who knows why, Xie Ruanxin insisted on going against Xie Chengze, and even fell in love with a scumbag like Tan Shaojun, and even sold Xie¡¯s shares!


    When Xie Ruanxin just sold her stocks, they felt that there was something wrong with her brain. Assets like stocks and houses must be placed in her own name to be safe, and wouldn¡¯t be sell easily!


    Later on¡­


    When Tan Shaojun had a problem, many people called Xie Ruanxin and strangely asked her if she wanted to marry Tan Shaojun.


    Not long ago, Tan Shaojun sold Xie¡¯s shares¡­No one had any good intentions and laughed at Xie Ruanxin!


    She couldn¡¯t make the mockery, Xie Ruanxin has already blocked them all.


    Until today, Xie Chengze returned strongly¡­


    Some of those plastic sisters who were blocked by Xie Ruanxin went to the banquet with their parents. They borrowed their parents¡¯ mobile phones, or sent text messages or make calls, immediately informing Xie Ruanxin about this as soon as possible.


    When Xie Ruanxin received the news, she felt a rush of heat rush into her mind, her whole body was about to explode.


    When she sold the shares to Tan Shaojun, Xie¡¯s stock price had fallen a lot, so her shares were sold very cheaply.


    If she didn¡¯t sell it, she would have gotten so much through dividends after a few years!


    Ignoring that, Tan Shaojun said at the time that he hadn¡¯t gotten all the money, so he had not given the full amount yet!


    But even so, Xie Ruanxin still got a large amount of money, but she didn¡¯t expect that the hole her mother had to fill was so big. As soon as she got the money, she used half to fill it.


    She is also quite a hole herself. With such a large amount of money suddenly in her hand, she couldn¡¯t help but want to buy something¡­She only had one-fifth of that money left!


    This is a large amount of money, but it¡¯s a bit small for her. One must know that the dividends given to her by Xie Company last year were a lot!


    Xie Ruanxin hates Tan Shaojun even more!


    She even blamed her mother. It was her mother who kept telling her that Xie Chengze would die early and that the Xie family would be hers sooner or later, so she didn¡¯t take Xie Chengze seriously!


    If she had a good relationship with Xie Chengze, how would she be like this now?


    Xie Ruanxin was so angry that she couldn¡¯t sleep all night. Then, the next day, Tan Shaojun asked her for money¡­


    She would never give him any money!


    Xie Ruanxin is not a love brain as outsiders think. Although she likes Tan Shaojun, her love for Tan Shaojun has been gone since Tan Shaojun went bankrupt.


    She won¡¯t give Tan Shaojun a penny!


    Xie Ruanxin even secretly found someone and asked them to beat Tan Shaojun.


    However, after dealing with Tan Shaojun, she didn¡¯t have enough money¡­


    Gritting her teeth, Xie Ruanxin lowered her head and went to see Xie Chengze, wanting to ask for money from him.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Xie Ruanxin has a lot of money now, and she is an adult, so why do she have the nerve to ask him for money?


    The key is¡­Xie Ruanxin tried to tamper with his medicine before!


    Xie Chengze glanced at his assistant.


    His assistant who had contacted Xie Ruanxin immediately gave Xie Ruanxin the printed chat record of Xie Ruanxin asking him to tamper with Xie Chengze¡¯s medicine.


    Xie Ruanxin was frightened and ran away.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know about this until the evening. After learning about it, he said: ¡°AZe, you have to be more careful next time. Xie Ruanxin may do something extreme.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know whether Xie Chengze¡¯s hospitalization in the original trajectory was true or not, but Xie Ruanxin¡¯s situation at that time was probably similar to what it is now.


    Xie Ruanxin probably sold her shares to Tan Shaojun and spent all the money. She was desperate, so she kidnapped Jiang Mi and asked for money from Tan Shaojun.


    In the original trajectory, at this point in time, Tan Shaojun was not only the heir of the Tan Company, but also bit off a large piece of meat from Xie Company. He was extremely famous and extremely wealthy.


    Therefore, Xie Ruanxin found Tan Shaojun and kidnapped Jiang Mi to threaten Tan Shaojun.


    Now that Tan Shaojun has no money, it¡¯s possible for Xie Ruanxin to find Xie Chengze, right?


    With this thought in mind, Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze his analysis.


    Xie Chengze was silent for a moment, then said: ¡°If this is the case, Xie Ruanxin will probably choose to kidnap you instead of me. You are the one who needs to be careful.¡±


    This is true¡­


    Lu Yanzhou rubbed his nose: ¡°There is someone to protect me, she will be in trouble if she really comes to me.¡±


    Ever since he negotiated cooperation with the authorities, he has someone protecting him!


    Of course, others didn¡¯t know that those people were official, so they all thought they were bodyguards given to him by Xie Chengze.


    ¡°She shouldn¡¯t be that extreme?¡± Said Xie Chengze, a little uncertain.


    Xie Chengze grew up watching Xie Ruanxin. When he was a child, Xie Ruanxin also gathered around him and called him brother with a smile.


    At that time, he really liked this little girl.


    It¡¯s a pity that his father and stepmother have problems with the child¡¯s education.


    His father never liked him.


    During the years when his father was ill, he had already joined Xie Company, then started to manage Xie Company in the later period. It was inevitable that he would have conflicts and different opinions with his father at work.


    At that time, his father was no longer able to manage the company, so his idea was actually the right one. However, his father could not accept this and always insisted on his own opinions. He also felt that he was disobedient and would yell at him from time to time.


    After scolding him, his father would praise Xie Ruanxin, saying how well-behaved Xie Ruanxin was.


    Gradually, Xie Ruanxin began to fight for favor. She would stick to her father¡¯s side and say things like, ¡°Dad, I am different from my brother, I listen to you.¡±


    Later, Xie Ruanxin tried to teach him a lesson. In front of his father¡¯s hospital bed, she acted like a little adult and pointed at him, accusing him of not listening to their father¡¯s words and imitating their father to teach him a lesson.


    However, if he were to really listen, Xie Company would be gone long ago.


    Perhaps because of this, his stepmother was afraid that he would hold a grudge and harm Xie Ruanxin, so she always guarded against him.


    Xie Chengze sometimes feels that Xie Ruanxin is quite unlucky, having such unreliable parents, and now¡­Xie Ruanxin is no longer reliable either.


    ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true. She is very impulsive, she even wants to tamper with your medicine before.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou. The original owner died at Xie Ruanxin¡¯s hand! Although it was not Xie Ruanxin who killed him, he was still someone hired by Xie Ruanxin, and Xie Ruanxin is also present then.


    With this in mind, Lu Yanzhou planned to ask the officials to arrange a few people to protect Xie Chengze when he went to the laboratory tomorrow.


    The laboratory that Yaoshi cooperates with the government has been set up, and Lu Yanzhou will join the job tomorrow.


    Inside, he is Mr. L, a core member of this laboratory and this team.


    But externally¡­he, Lu Yanzhou, entered the laboratory under the identity of Xie Chengze to attack Mr. L.


    The laboratory itself is a collaboration between Yaoshi and the authorities, so it doesn¡¯t seem that strange for outsiders that he can join.


    The next day, Xie Chengze went to work in Xie Company, and Lu Yanzhou went to the laboratory alone.


    There are not many people in the laboratory, so he can get off work on time every day but others cannot. They have all signed confidentiality agreements and cannot leave the laboratory at will.


    When Lu Yanzhou went there, those people had already arrived, and most of them looked at Lu Yanzhou with suspicion.


    As for the remaining few¡­those few people are dedicated to research and don¡¯t care much about anything else.


    In fact, before coming here, these people admired Mr. L very much. However, after they came, they couldn¡¯t accept it when they learned about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation, so they couldn¡¯t help but doubt Lu Yanzhou.


    This is human nature, Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t care much, anyway¡­these people will soon have no time to doubt him.


    And indeed it is.


    Lu Yanzhou set up several projects at once and asked them to work with him.


    ¡°These projects will take at least several years or even decades to complete. Are we really going to do them together?¡± These people were confused.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yanzhou started directly, commanding everyone around.


    Among these people, someone had done one of the projects before and said that he had experience but encountered some problems. As soon as he mentioned the problem to Lu Yanzhou¡­Lu Yanzhou solved it directly.


    Others have encountered similar situations.


    As a result, the entire laboratory started operating at the fastest speed. Not only that, only half a day passed, and no one dared to doubt Lu Yanzhou anymore.


    They can¡¯t even compare to a finger of the big boss, so what face do they have to doubt the big boss!


    Everyone was busy until four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, when Lu Yanzhou stopped what he was doing.


    The people who questioned Lu Yanzhou at the beginning asked in a low voice: ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I have to get off work.¡±


    Everyone who heard Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words were shocked.


    Get off work? It¡¯s only four o¡¯clock!


    Researchers getting off work so early?!


    They used to work overtime with their boss until late at night!


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m getting off work. You can continue working, or you can learn something new. Well, I suggest you exercise. Only with a strong body can you work better.¡±


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou smiled at them and left happily. He was going to pick up Xie Chengze from Xie Chengze¡¯s company.


    When Lu Yanzhou went to Xie Chengze¡¯s company, Xie Chengze was still finishing some work, so he waited for Xie Chengze to finish, then went home with Xie Chengze and cooked together.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s life is very stable.


    He goes to the laboratory before nine o¡¯clock every day and gets off work on time at four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. He does not work on weekends and holidays, so his life is leisurely and relaxed.


    Xie Chengze stole the limelight before, so now many people are paying attention to Xie Chengze. These people naturally are also paying attention to Lu Yanzhou.


    There are also people who want to get in touch with Mr. L and are also paying attention to Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°No one else is allowed to come near that laboratory. How come Xie Chengze¡¯s lover can go there every day?¡±


    ¡°Yaoshi also has a part in the laboratory, so Xie Chengze must have allowed him to enter.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s ask him to see if we can find what¡¯s going on in the laboratory?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. He only graduated from high school. What will he know? They will definitely not let him have access to any secrets files when he goes there. Maybe he has never even met Mr. L and he was just working as a security guard outside.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you say he is quite capable?¡±


    ¡°Yes, he is capable. He seemed to be in sales before, and his sales ability is very strong, but this has nothing to do with research, right?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He gets off work early everyday, so he definitely doesn¡¯t participate in the research.¡±


    ¡­


    After everyone observed for a long time and with some consideration, they stopped contacting Lu Yanzhou for news about Mr. L, which made Lu Yanzhou much more relaxed.


    Time has passed like this for half a year.


    Because Lu Yanzhou had given them several more results, the protection on him had been strengthened. Of course, externally, it was said that this was arranged by Xie Chengze.


    Because of this, everyone also lamented the importance Xie Chengze attached to Lu Yanzhou.


    Today, the person responsible for protecting Lu Yanzhou caught a group of people who tried to kidnap Lu Yanzhou.


    After Lu Yanzhou got the news, he couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Did Xie Ruanxin arrange it?¡±


    The person responsible for protecting Lu Yanzhou was a little surprised: ¡°How do you know? We have already interrogated and it was she who arranged it. Mr. Lu, what should we do now?¡±


    Mr. L is a national treasure-level scientist, and many foreign forces want to get him.


    Therefore, they, the security personnels, have always been on tenterhooks and guarded their surroundings at all times.


    As a result¡­everyone thought that Lu Yanzhou was just an insignificant role in the laboratory, so no one caused trouble for Lu Yanzhou.


    This time someone finally took action. They sharpened their knives and wanted to fight, but what they caught turned out to be some gangsters. After interrogation, it was found that these people wanted to kidnap Lu Yanzhou just to get money from Xie Chengze.


    Very speechless.


    They don¡¯t even know what to do with Xie Ruanxin now.


    That is Xie Chengze¡¯s sister after all.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Just follow the normal legal procedures.¡± Xie Ruanxin didn¡¯t kidnap him, but if she really did¡­someone could die since she was cruel!


    There was also the previous tamper on Xie Chengze¡¯s medicine. It was indeed Tan Shaojun¡¯s instigation, but she was the one who did it.


    She told Tan Shaojun about Xie Chengze¡¯s condition and then did that¡­that is equivalent to murdering!


    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Ruanxin needed to be taught a lesson.


    Following normal legal procedures, Xie Ruanxin kidnapped others for the purpose of extorting¡­


    Xie Ruanxin was eventually sentenced to six years.


    The verdict came quickly. Xie Ruanxin¡¯s mother came to Xie Chengze crying, but Xie Chengze ignored her.


    He had already given Xie Ruanxin a chance, but Xie Ruanxin still wanted to do something illegal¡­so there was nothing he could do about it.


    After Xie Ruanxin¡¯s matter, Lu Yanzhou went to find out about Tan Shaojun and Jiang Mi.


    Without the dog licker original owner, he wondered what happened to these two people¡­


    After knowing it¡­Lu Yanzhou was quite speechless.


    The first is Tan Shaojun.


    Tan Shaojun had a high self-esteem and was not willing to settle for mediocrity, so he started his own business.


    Starting a business is never easy. It costs a lot of money, so the boss must learn to save money.


    Lu Yanzhou knows many successful entrepreneurs. When they first started their business, they rented a small office space. They just rented it without hiring anyone to decorate it. The tables and chairs they used were all second-hand, which saved money until the company opened up.


    However, Tan Shaojun is not such a person.


    When he started a company, he spent a lot of money on renting space and decorating it. Later on, he not only hired people to do the work but also bought good office supplies.


    Thus, before the company even started, millions of yuan were spent on it.


    Then he had to recruit employees, this and that¡­


    Lu Yanzhou thought, Tan Shaojun would go bankrupt soon.


    As for Jiang Mi, Jiang Mi is still with Tan Shaojun and works as an assistant for Tan Shaojun¡­He probably won¡¯t leave until Tan Shaojun goes bankrupt?


    Lu Yanzhou thought Jiang Mi would leave when Tan Shaojun went bankrupt.


    However, he was wrong. Jiang Mi did not leave until Tan Shaojun went bankrupt and owed a large debt.


    At that time, he couldn¡¯t leave anymore.


    Tan Shaojun was ambitious when he started his business and felt that he would succeed, and Jiang Mi also believed in him.


    In Jiang Mi¡¯s opinion, Tan Shaojun has been a president, so he must be awesome!


    He just waited for Tan Shaojun to succeed in starting a business and become the president again, and then lead him to live a good life.


    Later, he started a business with Tan Shaojun. When he saw that Tan Shaojun know everything, Jiang Mi trusted Tan Shaojun even more.


    In addition, Tan Shaojun is very good at drawing cakes1False happiness, hope and drew a big cake for Jiang Mi¡­


    Later, Tan Shaojun¡¯s company ran out of funds, and Jiang Mi actually listened to Tan Shaojun and helped Tan Shaojun get a loan!


    When Tan Shaojun went bankrupt, Tan Shaojun was carrying millions in loans, and Jiang Mi¡¯s various loans totaled millions too.


    They couldn¡¯t afford the money at all, so they became dishonest people together.


    If Tan Shaojun¡¯s mother hadn¡¯t refused to use the last house to fill Tan Shaojun¡¯s hole, the two of them would have lost a place to live.


    But even if there is a place to live¡­living with Tan Shaojun¡¯s mother is not interesting at all.


    Especially after Tan Shaojun failed to start his own business, his mentality completely collapsed. He didn¡¯t even want to go out. He played games at home every day and had a bad temper.


    Jiang Mi hated the situation, but he couldn¡¯t leave.


    It¡¯s difficult for him to find a good job in this situation. Even if he finds a good job and makes money, the money will be transferred by the bank.


    That being the case, why go make money?


    Jiang Mi stayed at Tan Shaojun¡¯s house, living with Tan Shaojun on Tan Shaojun¡¯s mother¡¯s pension.


    Tan Shaojun¡¯s mother used to look down on Jiang Mi, but now her son doesn¡¯t even want to go out¡­


    She doesn¡¯t chase Jiang Mi anymore, and her attitude towards Jiang Mi is much better. She is afraid that after she die, Tan Shaojun would die of starvation at home and no one will know.


    The three of them just lived like this.

 CH 216

    Ever since Yaoshi held the banquet, Xie Chengze has been out of the loop.


    The present financial bloggers and those who make videos are in urgent need of material, and Xie Chengze, who is not only handsome but also capable¡­many of them regard it as a traffic code and make related long and short videos.


    Therefore, everyone knew that Xie Company had a super handsome president.


    If this is just the case, over time, everyone may gradually forget about Xie Chengze. After all, Xie Chengze is not involved in the entertainment industry and does not appear in front of the public very often.


    However, they can¡¯t do it¡­Yaoshi is too dazzling.


    As long as one is concerned about the economy and technology, they cannot avoid Yaoshi.


    Yaoshi finally went public. Before the listing, the official took a stake in Yaoshi and became the largest shareholder of Yaoshi, making Yaoshi a state-owned enterprise in a sense. However, the official did not participate in the management. The development of Yaoshi depends entirely on Xie Chengze.


    In addition, Xie Chengze¡¯s company should now be called a group. It still owns a large amount of Yaoshi¡¯s stock, which is not much less than the official one.


    Therefore, as soon as it went public, Xie Chengze¡¯s net worth skyrocketed, and the next year he ranked among the top five in the domestic wealth list.


    His assets are increasing rapidly.


    After all, Yaoshi comes out with new technologies from time to time. Not to mention becoming the leader in the country, it¡¯s about to become the leader in the world!


    Not to mention, Xie Chengze still has Xie¡¯s stock price in the past few years, which has been rising all the way.


    Soon, Xie Chengze became the richest man in the country.


    For a time, countless people called Xie Chengze dad or husband, so everyone¡¯s attention to Xie Chengze remained high.


    Netizens paid attention, so the media naturally paid attention. With this attention, they discovered the existence of Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou were not actually public, but they were often photographed when they went on dates. Lu Yanzhou still went to pick up Xie Chengze every day¡­


    After some good media published relevant news, Lu Yanzhou also entered the public views.


    Dad Xie is really different. After being single for many years, he found a handsome boy!


    Netizens are convinced by Lu Yanzhou¡¯s appearance, then Lu Yanzhou has many fans.


    Of course, there were a lot of sarcastic words, especially after someone later revealed that Lu Yanzhou had only graduated from high school, and was assigned by Xie Chengze to work in Mr. L¡¯s laboratory.


    Then one day, public opinion suddenly began to attack Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Mr. L¡¯s laboratory is so difficult to enter. Even the professors from our school can¡¯t go there, so why was Lu Yanzhou allowed in?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Xie Chengze too good at pretending to be a civil servant for personal gain?¡±


    ¡°Mr. L is too unlucky. The laboratory actually allows a person who only graduated from high school to enter!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou leaves early every day! Did you see it? He clocks out and leaves the laboratory at around four o¡¯clock every day!¡±


    ¡°Why does Xie Chengze like such a person?!¡±


    ¡­


    As Mr. L has researched more and more things, he has now become a national idol. Therefore, under the guidance of caring people, everyone is complaining for Mr. L.


    There are also many people calling for Mr. L¡¯s laboratory to be completely separated from Yaoshi.


    Neither Lu Yanzhou nor Xie Chengze cared much about the news on the Internet. In the laboratory, the person in charge of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s security noticed the matter and hurriedly came to tell Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou is actually Mr. L. Those people actually think that Mr. L should not go to the laboratory¡­What is this?!


    ¡°Tell me carefully.¡± Lu Yanzhou stopped what he was doing.


    The man started talking immediately.


    Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°They are trying to catch Mr. L?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou curled his lips and said, ¡°There have been a lot of people wandering around the laboratory recently, and many people have tried their best to contact me¡­I guess someone is looking for Mr. L and they want to know Mr. L¡¯s information.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true that people from many countries are looking for you, but is it okay to lead online public opinion this way?¡±


    ¡°Maybe they want to make Mr. L dissatisfied with Yaoshi? Lu Yanzhou, an ordinary person, may not be able to stand cyber bullying, and then they will have a breakthrough,¡± Lu Yanzhou said. ¡°Of course, since they did this, they may not have any other way. They can only play with public opinion and say it everywhere that the country treats Mr. L badly, the country is not good, and so on.¡±


    ¡°Then what should we do now?¡±


    ¡°What should we do? Isn¡¯t this good? Until now, no one has doubted that I am Mr. L.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    He has been working in this laboratory for several years. In the past few years, he has been quite hated because he has researched a lot of things.


    For his safety, no one in this laboratory knows his identity except the researchers who follow him.


    Like this, no one doubted that Lu Yanzhou was actually Mr. L from beginning to end.


    ¡°But there are many people on the Internet accusing you¡­¡± The man frowned. He felt that someone like Lu Yanzhou, who had made great contributions to the country, should not be criticized.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Those accusations make me feel quite uncomfortable, but don¡¯t worry, I have a solution.¡±


    ¡°Do you have a solution?¡± the man asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°There is a way! Just watch and don¡¯t take action, lest they doubt my identity.¡±


    The security in charge nodded hesitantly.


    Lu Yanzhou really has a way to deal with those who are accusing him now.


    He called Xie Chengze on the spot: ¡°AZe, there are many people scolding me on the Internet, and I feel uncomfortable after seeing it.¡±


    Xie Chengze actually knew about this, so he immediately said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have asked the people from the public relations department to deal with it!¡±


    ¡°Okay! AZe, please make it clear online that you will teach anyone who bullies me a lesson,¡± said Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Xie Chengze agreed without hesitation. He doesn¡¯t surf the Internet very much, but since Lu Yanzhou asked for it¡­Xie Chengze immediately asked someone to create an account for him, and also sent a message saying that he would get to the bottom of anyone who said bad things about Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie¡¯s legal department is not just for show!


    The people who are targeting Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± Some of them are fans of Xie Chengze. They feel that Xie Chengze has been bewitched and deceived by Lu Yanzhou, but then Xie Chengze comes out to support Lu Yanzhou?


    Immediately afterwards, Lu Yanzhou also registered an account, forwarded the content posted by Xie Chengze, and said: ¡°Xie Chengze likes me and treats me well. What¡¯s wrong with it? I didn¡¯t eat your rice!¡±


    Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± Well, that¡¯s true.


    Of course, some people are still angry: ¡°Then what about you staying in Mr. L¡¯s laboratory? Don¡¯t you know that this will disturb Mr. L?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou replied to the person: ¡°According to what you said, the aunties who are responsible for cooking and cleaning, and the soldiers who are responsible for security in the laboratory should all be withdrawn? Then Mr. L¡¯s research team is alone so that they can¡¯t even eat a hot meal? Mr. L himself doesn¡¯t have a problem with it, so why are you guys worrying about it!¡±


    Everyone : ¡°¡­¡± It seems¡­that is indeed the case?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, why are so many people suddenly targeting Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t someone say before that when Lu Yanzhou went to the research institute, he might be a gatekeeper. How could the gatekeeper affect Mr. L¡¯s research?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the laboratory has no objection, so why are you jumping up and down?¡±


    ¡°Those professors can¡¯t get into the research institute, but Lu Yanzhou got in, so what does it have to do with Lu Yanzhou? This is just like someone who can¡¯t become a professor at Tsinghua University, but ends up complaining about the aunties in the Tsinghua¡¯s cafeteria, thinking that the aunties in the Tsinghua¡¯s cafeteria are not worthy of cooking in Tsinghua!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right upstairs! The cafeteria aunties and the dormitory managers may not have any academic qualifications, but they can still get into Tsinghua University. What about it?¡±


    ¡­


    Fans of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze spoke up for them.


    These fans were also quite angry. They had been secretly following Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou for a long time, and they had been happily doing so, but suddenly a group of people appeared to attack Lu Yanzhou.


    Where did all those people come from?


    Those people¡¯s accusations against Lu Yanzhou are indeed untenable. Lu Yanzhou obviously only goes to the laboratory to play. He usually gets off work at four o¡¯clock, and does not go over weekends and holidays. He does not seem to be engaged in the research at all.


    In this case, how could he disturb Mr. L!


    He may not even get to said a few words to Mr. L!


    As for the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, as long as they are willing to fight, why should others worry about it?


    ¡°The Xie Company¡¯s legal department is dispatched! Dad Xie really shows off his domineering style! He protects his husband with his own strength!¡±


    ¡°A lot of marketing accounts that accused Lu Yanzhou were sued by Dad Xie. I¡¯m so happy!¡±


    ¡°Some people are really annoyed just looking at him! Why is Lu Yanzhou not worthy of Xie Chengze¡­How can a person with such powerful methods as Xie Chengze not know what he wants? If he chooses Lu Yanzhou, it must be that Lu Yanzhou is suitable, or he likes Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Xie Chengze¡¯s vision is definitely better than those people who only know to fool around.¡±


    ¡­


    Most people are still very sober. They are on Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou¡¯s side.


    After all, Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t do much. They even kept a low profile. Some media had always secretly photographed them for the sake of traffic.


    As for Lu Yanzhou going to work in the research laboratory¡­Lu Yanzhou is not short of money. He comes in late and leaves early every day. What he does in the laboratory is probably not important, he mostly just there to kill time.


    Xie Chengze is happy, and the laboratory has no objection. Why do irrelevant people keep jumping around?


    As a result, quite a few people went to comfort Lu Yanzhou and complimented him on his good looks in passing.


    Lu Yanzhou replied to someone who said he was handsome: ¡°Xie Chengze thinks so too.¡±


    Netizens immediately started laughing and envied Xie Chengze.


    Alas, if they were Xie Chengze, they would definitely find a handsome young wolfdog too!


    Those public opinions on the Internet that were deliberately aroused quickly disappeared.


    The people at the laboratory were looking at Lu Yanzhou eagerly. As Lu Yanzhou continued to work, Lu Yanzhou packed up his things and prepared to go home: ¡°It¡¯s already four o¡¯clock. I¡¯ll leave first. My AZe is still waiting for me to go pick him up.¡±


    Researchers: ¡°¡­¡± They really didn¡¯t expect that one day they would be able to work with a boss who didn¡¯t let them work overtime!


    Even if they don¡¯t work overtime, the results produced by their laboratory far exceed those of other laboratories!


    This laboratory is really great. Trying their best to get into it is really the most correct thing they have ever done in their lives.


    The only depressing thing is that their boss shows off his love every day, and most of them are single.


    What these researchers don¡¯t know is that their boss, who shows love every day, is no longer satisfied with just showing love to them!


    Lu Yanzhou plans to show his love to the whole world.


    Next, he will study something that may be boycotted by some countries. For his own safety, he needs to hide his identity.


    He doesn¡¯t want to come into contact with various spies yet¡­


    In this case, he might as well start a live broadcast to broadcast the sweet life of himself and Xie Chengze!


    From now on, in addition to working time, he will concentrate on live broadcasting and becoming an Internet celebrity. He and Xie Chengze will go out on dates and live broadcast from time to time.


    He wanted to see who else dared to touch him!


    And¡­he believes that no one will think that an Internet celebrity is actually Mr. L!


    However, if he wants to be an internet celebrity, he needs a personality. His personality¡­well, let¡¯s just go with ¡®the president¡¯s little spoiled husband¡¯!

 CH 217

    Lu Yanzhou started live streaming that night.


    Because of what happened during the day, his popularity was high. As soon as the live stream started, many people entered immediately.


    Regardless of whether they were fans of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, or they were dissatisfied, as soon as they saw it, they all entered the live stream room.


    The live stream started with a huge kitchen in the background.


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou is live streaming in the kitchen?


    Just as everyone was thinking this, they discovered that not only Lu Yanzhou was in the kitchen, but also Xie Chengze, the richest man.


    At this moment, the richest dad was wearing an apron and was washing vegetables slowly, while Lu Yanzhou was waving a knife to cut vegetables.


    ¡°Ahhhhhh! I saw the richest dad!¡±


    ¡°Dad actually washes vegetables, I immediately felt balanced!¡±


    ¡°Both of them are so handsome! Eye candy!¡±


    ¡°The richest father takes good care of himself. He is already forty but he still look so young!¡±


    ¡­


    The atmosphere suddenly became heated.


    Then, Lu Yanzhou looked at the live streaming camera: ¡°Hello everyone, this is Lu Yanzhou¡¯s live stream room. I found that many people were curious about my life with Xie Chengze, so I started a live stream. Whenever I have time in the future, I will share my life with everyone in the live stream room.¡±


    ¡°Great!¡±


    ¡°Ahhh! Support!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m really curious about the life of the richest man!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m different, I¡¯m very curious about the life of a handsome guy!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°I am a person who does not rely on live streams to make a living, so my live stream room will have some regulations. The first is that all those who post unfriendly comments in my live steam room will have a one-stop service of deleting and blocking them!¡± After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he looked at Xie Chengze, ¡°AZe, is there a problem with this?¡±


    Xie Chengze answered without hesitation: ¡°No problem. I have arranged for someone to watch the live stream room the whole time.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good. Since no one is talking nonsense, we can start today¡¯s live stream. The content of today¡¯s live stream is about what the richest man does after work,¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Well, he just helps me in the kitchen.¡±


    While chatting with the people in the live stream room, Lu Yanzhou also quickly finished various preparations, because he cut vegetables so fast that Xie Chengze, who was washing vegetables, couldn¡¯t keep up.


    ¡°Everyone has seen that although your richest dad is very capable of making money, his ability to wash vegetables is average. He is also very particular about it. Sometimes he even wants to wash it under a microscope¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou complained about Xie Chengze with a smile while facing the live streaming camera.


    Behind him, Xie Chengze looked at him helplessly and fondly.


    ¡°Hahahaha! The richest dad is indeed a very particular person!¡±


    ¡°I put the whole spinach in the water and washed it, but the richest dad washed it leaf by leaf, so delicate!¡±


    ¡°The richest dad¡¯s eyes are so doting, I¡¯m so touched.¡±


    ¡­ ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°But the dishes he washed are very safe to eat and there is no dirt in them! He can only wash the dishes since he is not very good at cooking. He can only cook the simplest things. In terms of cooking skills, I¡¯ve left him behind.¡±


    After saying that, Lu Yanzhou turned to Xie Chengze and asked: ¡°AZe, who do you think is the best chef in the world?¡±


    ¡°You.¡± Xie Chengze did not hesitate.


    ¡°Then who is the most handsome man in the world?¡±


    ¡°You!¡± Xie Chengze answered without hesitation.


    After Lu Yanzhou asked, he looked at the live stream camera: ¡°Have you seen it? My cooking skills and appearance have been certified by the richest man!¡±


    ¡°Hahahaha! Xie Chengze has a strong desire to survive!¡±


    ¡°Richest dad answered so quickly!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so cute, this couple is so cute!¡±


    ¡°Richest dad totally hit my cute point!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is also great, he is funny and the most handsome in the world hahaha!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou enlivened the atmosphere in the live broadcast room, then started cooking.


    His cooking movements are as smooth as clouds and water, he can cook two pots at the same time without any mess.


    What was even scarier was when he cooked two dishes together, and he still had time to chat with the people in the live broadcast room: ¡°Did you see it? Cooking is really simple, just do it casually, and delicious food will be made. To cook squirrel fish, it takes two minutes to remove the bones and bone spurs, then cut it like wheat ear, then put it in the oil pan and make the sauce! You can also stir-fry garlic with spinach in the middle.¡±


    Netizens were shocked: ¡°The first time I saw someone saying that squirrel fish is easy to cook¡­¡±


    ¡°Two minutes? Two minutes? I wouldn¡¯t be able to cut the fish like this in 20 minutes.¡±


    ¡°I suddenly realized that when Xie Chengze said that he cooks the best food, maybe it¡¯s not a lie.¡±


    ¡°Although I can¡¯t eat it, looking at his cooking proficiency¡­I feel that he is not inferior to those famous chefs.¡±


    ¡°So versailles!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou looks like he deserves a beating, but I like it!¡±


    ¡°God! Give me a boyfriend who can cook!¡±


    ¡­


    At this moment, Lu Yanzhou also made two more dishes, one was fish-flavored shredded pork and the other was stir-fried green beans: ¡°As you can see, cooking is really easy. It takes less than half an hour to finish all four dishes! You should have seen the steps I just took to cook. Did you learn it?¡±


    ¡°You are so fast. How can we learn?¡±


    ¡°Seeing that you were going to make fish, I washed my fish and planned to learn how to cook it, but as soon as I finished washing it, all four of your dishes were ready!¡±


    ¡°I know why Xie Chengze chose him. It must be because his cooking is delicious!¡±


    ¡°I know why the laboratory wants him, it must be because his cooking is delicious!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, I misunderstood you before. You are definitely not the gatekeeper at the laboratory, you should be the one in charge of cooking!¡±


    ¡°Ahhhhh! Did you cook Mr. L¡¯s meal?¡±


    ¡­


    Every time Lu Yanzhou cooked a dish, Xie Chengze would bring it to the table outside. He also served rice by the way.


    Lu Yanzhou picked up the camera and walked out of the kitchen: ¡°The food live stream has finished. Next, I will be a food broadcaster. I can also show you the mansion for a moment! Did you see it? This is the mansion where your richest dad lives! The decoration here was originally black and white and gray, which was not in line with my preferences. Therefore, I added a lot of cute gadgets. Isn¡¯t it a lot more interesting now?¡±


    ¡°The house is so big!¡±


    ¡°The decoration is also beautiful!¡±


    ¡°I hope I can live in a house like this in my dream!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou, stop wandering around. Didn¡¯t you see the richest dad sitting there eagerly waiting to eat?¡±


    ¡°Hahahaha, richest dad looks so hungry!¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou quickly sat down and prepared to eat. While eating, he asked Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, who is your favorite person in this world?¡±


    Xie Chengze still did not hesitate: ¡°You!¡±


    Lu Yanzhou burst out laughing.


    Netizens were also very happy: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a richest man!¡±


    ¡°I feel like his character has collapsed hahahaha.¡±


    ¡°They have such a good relationship!¡±


    ¡°The domineering president and his little husband!¡±


    ¡°President Xie, please say some sweet words!¡±


    ¡±Kiss him!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was laughing and joking while Lu Yanzhou was eating and chatting with netizens from time to time. When they finally finished eating¡­Lu Yanzhou said to the live stream camera: ¡°What¡¯s next is a two-person world for me and Xie Chengze. Goodbye!¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t stop!¡±


    ¡°Still want to watch!¡±


    ¡°Stream for a while longer!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone begged, but Lu Yanzhou still turned off the live ruthlessly.


    Next, he would have fun with Xie Chengze without letting anyone see.


    After this live stream, Lu Yanzhou will live stream for a while almost every day.


    He usually chooses to stream while cooking and eating. In addition to showing off his cooking skills, he also shows his love. He will occasionally talk about the current economic situation: ¡°The recent economic situation is not very good. In order to cope with the next crisis, I plan to ask Mr. Xie to double the living expenses!¡±


    Then, Xie Chengze was very happy, as if he was eager to give it to him right away: ¡°You want living expenses? How much?¡±


    ¡°Darn it, I forgot about you guys. You guys never gave me living expenses before! Double zero is still zero!¡± Lu Yanzhou looked annoyed.


    Xie Chengze was helpless: ¡°You don¡¯t want what I want to give you!¡±


    He really wanted to give Lu Yanzhou money! But Lu Yanzhou just doesn¡¯t want it! Well, Lu Yanzhou is actually not short of money. He produces research results from time to time and makes a lot of money.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to give it to me. If you have money, just donate it!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Netizens: ¡°So, Yaoshi keeps donating money, is this the reason?¡±


    ¡°Love it. Love it!¡±


    ¡°They have such a good relationship!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so envious!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone can see that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s relationship with Xie Chengze is very good, the two don¡¯t treat each other differently.


    After a long time, many people will turn on their live stream and take a look at their lives.


    The two have more and more fans. Because Xie Chengze rarely goes online but Lu Yanzhou speaks online from time to time, more people follow Lu Yanzhou than follow Xie Chengze.


    Of course, there are also some people who work tirelessly to criticize Lu Yanzhou. They feel that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s live stream is just to make money by bringing goods someday. They feel that the loving appearance of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze is all staged. Some people even think that he will be abandoned by Xie Chengze sooner or later.


    However, every time someone says this, a group of people will refute: ¡°Bringing goods to make money? The richest man and his husband bring goods to make money? Are you kidding me?¡±


    ¡°Acting? If you have the ability, make the richest man cooperate with you and try acting.¡±


    ¡°Abandon? If you have watched the live stream, you will never say such nonsense.¡±


    ¡°That is, when Lu Yanzhou was live streaming, Xie Chengze looked at him the whole time. His eyes were amazing!¡±


    ¡°Such a treasure, if I were Xie Chengze, I would definitely not be willing to abandon him! ¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou has become an Internet celebrity with a lot of traffic. When he goes out, no one is surprised that he is surrounded by a group of bodyguards.


    He himself said in the live stream that this was specially arranged by Xie Chengze because he was afraid that he would be disturbed!


    The richest man is definitely in love with Lu Yanzhou.


    With many bodyguards around Lu Yanzhou, the media tried their best to photograph him and some interested people couldn¡¯t get in touch with him at all.


    Some people who secretly planned to take action: ¡°Before the people we arranged could get close to Lu Yanzhou, a group of people came out and dispersed our people¡­¡±


    ¡°Xie Chengze protected him so well that we couldn¡¯t get close at all.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no longer possible to follow Lu Yanzhou. We have to think of other ways.¡±


    ¡­


    As they talked, they fell silent: ¡°Think of other ways? What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Researchers in that laboratory don¡¯t come out very often. When they do come out, they are protected by special personnel.¡±


    ¡°And according to our investigation, all the people who came out should not be Mr. L.¡±


    ¡°Mr. L has not left the laboratory for several years!¡±


    ¡°Has he been doing research day and night?¡±


    ¡°That should be it! He has produced so many results!¡±


    ¡°Then how about we use public opinion to condemn the laboratory¡¯s oppression of him?¡±


    ¡­


    It has always been difficult to stop rumors about Mr. L on the internet. No, recently a group of people came out and accused the laboratory of locking Mr. L and preventing him from leaving the laboratory. It shows no human rights.


    The laboratory was quite helpless and could only issue a statement: ¡°We have never prohibited Mr. L from leaving the laboratory!¡±


    Mr. L is the person who leaves the laboratory the most!


    They were really aggrieved to be said like this!


    Then people on the Internet began to discuss who Mr. L was, but the discussion could not come to a conclusion. Some people felt that there was no Mr. L at all, but only a team.


    However, if it is a team, the goal should be bigger, so it¡¯s impossible to be so quiet!


    Mr. L¡¯s true identity has become increasingly confusing.


    However, no matter how much everyone searched for Mr. L, they never connect him with Lu Yanzhou.


    How could a person who is active online every day, live stream at night, and passionate about cooking be Mr. L!


    Now everyone firmly believes that Lu Yanzhou is Mr. L¡¯s chef.


    There is even evidence for this. Once when Lu Yanzhou was live streaming, people asked if Mr. L liked the food he cooked. He replied without thinking: ¡°Yes, he likes to eat the food I cook the most!¡±


    Thus, Lu Yanzhou is definitely Mr. L¡¯s chef!


    Lu Yanzhou was not short of money, but he went to the laboratory every day. Maybe it was because Mr. L liked the food he cooked so much, so the laboratory specially invited him to cook for Mr. L.


    This statement has even been recognized by many famous chefs. Many very famous chefs have admitted in public that their cooking skills are not as good as Lu Yanzhou.


    As time went by, Lu Yanzhou even became recognized as one of the greatest chefs.


    Sometimes on weekends or holidays, he would cook some complicated food for Xie Chengze. Some of the recipes have been lost, but he could cook them, which attracted countless chefs to ¡®learn¡¯ them!


    He even performed ¡®cook Ding butcher ox1To be skilled at what one does¡¯, his knife skills were truly amazing!


    ¡°Wuuuu, every time I watch Lu Yanzhou¡¯s live stream, I get really greedy. I always want to eat, then I¡¯ve gained a lot of weight without realizing it!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve gained weight too. I envy Mr. Xie for being able to taste Lu Yanzhou¡¯s culinary skills every day.¡±


    ¡°I knew that Mr. Xie¡¯s vision is not bad! A treasure like Lu Yanzhou should be taken away early!¡±


    ¡°He is handsome, good at cooking and has a sense of humor. Lu Yanzhou is really my ideal type.¡±


    ¡­


    In fact, at the beginning, many people feel in their hearts that Lu Yanzhou is not worthy of Xie Chengze.


    But now, they no longer have such thoughts. They only have deep envy for Xie Chengze.


    Isn¡¯t Xie Chengze too lucky? Having money and he still has such a good partner too!


    For the next many years, Xie Chengze remained firmly on the throne as the richest man.


    And this country has developed rapidly and even led a new energy revolution.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s research fields are very broad, including economics. Therefore, when this country is far ahead of other countries in terms of economy and military, he no longer needs to remain anonymous.


    This year, Xie Chengze turns fifty.


    He had never thought before that he could live to be fifty years old, but now¡­his goal is to live to be a hundred years old!


    Lu Yanzhou will be eighty-eight by then, which is good.


    Today, a large-scale economic meeting was to be held in a coastal city. Xie Chengze came here alone to attend the meeting.


    Everyone was a little surprised to see Xie Chengze alone.


    In the past, when Xie Chengze went on business trips to other places, Lu Yanzhou would always accompany him. The relationship between the two was enviable to others. Why didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou come this time?


    Also¡­they heard that Lu Yanzhou has not stream for almost a month.


    Did something happen between Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou?


    Thinking of this, someone asked: ¡°Mr. Xie, why didn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou come?¡±


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°He has been very busy with work recently and has no time to come.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou participated in the design of the epoch-making spaceship.


    Tomorrow the spaceship will take the astronauts to Mars. Everyone is busy with this matter. No matter how lazy Lu Yanzhou is, he can¡¯t get out.


    Speaking of which, Xie Chengze never expected that Lu Yanzhou could participate in the construction of a spaceship while continuously producing results while working so short every day.


    It is said that many troubles were encountered during the construction process, which were all solved by Lu Yanzhou. Later, Lu Yanzhou took over the project. In order to build this spaceship, Lu Yanzhou even specially developed several new materials.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what to say. He could only say that Lu Yanzhou was awesome.


    Therefore, there is no doubt that Lu Yanzhou truly loves him, otherwise¡­why would Lu Yanzhou want such a person?


    Thinking of Lu Yanzhou, Xie Chengze was in a very good mood and had a smile on his face.


    However, those who talked with Xie Chengze did not think that Xie Chengze¡¯s smile was sincere.


    Lu Yanzhou is busy with work? Who doesn¡¯t know that Lu Yanzhou is a cook? Even if he leaves for a few days¡­they can just change to another cook. It¡¯s not so bad that they won¡¯t be able to eat, right?


    Lu Yanzhou used to follow Xie Chengze everywhere, didn¡¯t he?


    Lu Yanzhou hasn¡¯t stream for a month, right? This time Xie Chengze came out for a meeting and Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t come with him either. There¡¯s probably something wrong with their relationship.


    However, with Xie Chengze¡¯s status, he would not ask for trouble by saying anything, so he quickly changed the topic and chatted with Xie Chengze about something else.


    But Xie Chengze didn¡¯t have time to say more to them. He said a few words and quickly entered the venue.


    After attending the meeting today, he has to leave overnight.


    The spaceship will be launched tomorrow, and the entire launch process will be broadcast live. Lu Yanzhou, the great hero, will also appear on the stage for the first time.


    Normally, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t go to that kind of occasion. However, because of Lu Yanzhou, he could go to the scene and watch it up close.


    Such an opportunity is extremely rare. This day is very important to Lu Yanzhou. Of course Xie Chengze will not miss it.


    Therefore, as soon as the meeting ended, he hurriedly left without saying anything and took a private jet to find Lu Yanzhou.


    It was already ten o¡¯clock in the evening when the meeting started, and it was already four o¡¯clock in the morning when Xie Chengze arrived.


    He was a little tired, but this fatigue disappeared when he saw Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°AZe,¡± Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze, ¡°My work is done, let¡¯s go get some sleep.¡±


    ¡°Are you so busy now?¡± Xie Chengze felt a little distressed. Lu Yanzhou never let him be too busy before, nor did he stay up late.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I just did a final inspection on the spaceship.¡±


    There are people on the spaceship this time, no mistakes are allowed!


    However, he has been in the interstellar world so he has sufficient skills. He has been focusing on this spaceship this month and has made some improvements to the spaceship too, so there should be no problems.


    The spaceship will be launched on time at ten o¡¯clock in the morning. Before that, Lu Yanzhou could still sleep for a while.


    He took Xie Chengze to his room to sleep, but he didn¡¯t know that after dawn, news related to them suddenly broke out on the Internet.


    Some media captured a scene of Xie Chengze leaving in a hurry after attending an important meeting. They posted it on the Internet, saying: ¡°Xie Chengze was alone in the middle of the night and was in a hurry. It was suspected that he broke up with Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    In the past, whenever Xie Chengze attended such meetings, Lu Yanzhou would accompany him. After attending the meeting this time, everyone else slept in the hotel arranged by the organizer, but he left in a hurry in the middle of the night. Something seemed wrong.


    Not to mention, Lu Yanzhou hasn¡¯t stream for a month.


    Although Lu Yanzhou said during his last live stream a month ago that he had something to do and would stop streaming for a period of time, Lu Yanzhou has not shown up for such a long time. There has been a lot of speculation on the Internet.


    Now it was photographed that Xie Chengze attended the meeting alone and left in the middle of the night¡­


    At eight o¡¯clock the next morning, the hot search ¡®Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou broke up¡¯ appeared.


    After everyone got up, this hot search became more and more heated. Countless people left messages below.


    ¡°No way, how could they break up?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it either!¡±


    ¡°But Lu Yanzhou hasn¡¯t appeared for a long time¡­¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s been a month, and Lu Yanzhou hasn¡¯t stream yet.¡±


    ¡°What happened to them?¡±


    ¡°Is it possible that Lu Yanzhou is sick?¡±


    ¡°If Lu Yanzhou is sick, he can tell us, but there has been no activity on Lu Yanzhou¡¯s account recently.¡±


    ¡°He used to show love from time to time, but recently there has been no news at all, what happened?¡±


    ¡°They really didn¡¯t break up, right?¡±


    ¡°No! If they break up, I don¡¯t believe in true love anymore!¡±


    ¡­


    People¡¯s attention made this hot search go directly to the first spot.


    When Jiang Mi saw this hot search, he suddenly became excited.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze broke up? That¡¯s really great!


    Since the failure of his business, Tan Shaojun began to escape reality and stayed in his room all day without going out.


    Jiang Mi also wanted to do this, but Tan Shaojun had his mother to take care of him and provide him with food but he didn¡¯t.


    He still has to find a way to make money.


    It¡¯s just that he owed too much debt and was unwilling to work hard. The way he finally came up with to make money was to ¡®make friends¡¯ with rich people and exchange his body for money.


    He was young and good-looking at that time, plus he had the reputation of being Tan Shaojun¡¯s boyfriend¡­a lot of people really interacted with him.


    They were also very generous to him.


    However, this incident was discovered by Tan Shaojun. Tan Shaojun was furious and couldn¡¯t accept it at all. He hit him hard and even hurt his face!


    Although Jiang Mi got a lot of money before, he didn¡¯t want to use it to pay off debts. He spent the money as soon as he got it. Now that his face is destroyed, he has no money to treat it.


    In addition, there were no more people who came to him for the title of ¡®Tan Shaojun¡¯s boyfriend¡¯, so he couldn¡¯t make any money.


    He sued Tan Shaojun, but Tan Shaojun had no money to compensate, so he was released after being detained for a while. Since he had no place to live, he had to go to Tan Shaojun¡¯s house again.


    The two just made do with each other, complaining about each other all day long.


    Jiang Mi felt that if it weren¡¯t for Tan Shaojun, he would be able to find a good boyfriend if he had Lu Yanzhou¡¯s support and worked hard. He wouldn¡¯t be as bad as he is now.


    Tan Shaojun felt that if there was no Jiang Mi, he would have a better choice.


    However, it doesn¡¯t matter how much they complain, they are still bound together.


    Jiang Mi¡¯s life has been like a puddle of mud in the past few years, but Lu Yanzhou¡¯s life is getting better and better.


    Jiang Mi was really jealous beyond words. He even thought that if he was not with Tan Shaojun, maybe he could be with Xie Chengze.


    He is much better than that tough guy Lu Yanzhou! Maybe Xie Chengze will like it?


    How kind Xie Chengze is to Lu Yanzhou! Over the years, Lu Yanzhou has had everything he wanted. He has been living in a mansion, driving a luxury car, and following Xie Chengze all over the world!


    Now¡­Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze broke up?


    That¡¯s really great!


    Jiang Mi couldn¡¯t help but wake up Tan Shaojun, who stayed up late playing games last night, and shared the good news with him.


    Tan Shaojun, who is in his forties, has an out-of-shape figure, puffy eyes, and hair like a chicken coop, was also excited when he saw the news.


    The two of them coincidentally published some unfavorable words on the Internet that were unfavorable to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    They are not the only ones doing this.


    On one hand, there are some people who are disgusted with the relationship between two men and have been slandering Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.


    On another hand, there is another important hot search, which is suppressed by this hot search!


    The number one hot search today is ¡®Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou broke up¡¯, and the second hot search is ¡®Mars One launches at ten o¡¯clock¡¯.


    No one has been to Mars before! Their country is now sending people to Mars, which is epoch-making!


    Such an important matter was suppressed by the hot searches of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze?


    For a time, there were countless people accusing them, and even the website quickly removed Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s hot searches from the top spot.


    But this breakup hot search is still in the top ten, while the rest are related to ¡®Mars One¡¯, such as ¡®Mars One, Mr. L¡¯ and so on.


    According to previously announced news, Mr. L joined the R&D and manufacturing of Mars One and is said to be the general manager.


    ¡°Mr. L is really awesome!¡±


    ¡°Mr. L is my idol!¡±


    ¡°That Lu Yanzhou is very annoying, always trying to get attention from Mr. L.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou has no skills at all. He only knows how to show off his love online. It¡¯s unreasonable that this kind of person get more attention than Mr. L.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s great that Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze break up! I feel sick when I see these two men showing off their love!¡±


    ¡­


    There are all kinds of comments, but most people¡­they saw the news that Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze broke up, but they didn¡¯t take it seriously because there was no concrete evidence.


    Then they went to see Mars One¡¯s live broadcast.


    Today is the weekend, so many people have time to watch the live broadcast. Even those who don¡¯t have time¡­some companies have also shown the live broadcast to their employees.


    Sending astronauts to Mars is really good for their country!


    This also means that their country has completely risen!


    Before ten o¡¯clock, the official live broadcast room opened.


    At this time, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were also neatly dressed and came to the place where they could watch the launch of Mars One up close.


    Around them, there were other R&D personnel and various leaders, and all of them smiled when they saw Lu Yanzhou.


    No matter how big his business is, Xie Chengze will never receive such treatment, but Lu Yanzhou¡­he is a national treasure!


    ¡°Mr. Lu, you deserve most of the credit for the successful development of Mars One!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Lu, when Mars One is launched, go ahead and press the launch button!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Lu¡­¡±


    ¡­


    No one present knew what¡¯s going on online, and no one bothered them with such a thing.


    After all, everyone who knows Lu Yanzhou¡¯s identity knows that he and Xie Chengze have not broken up.


    The two have a good relationship. Xie Chengze left the meeting in a hurry yesterday just to meet Lu Yanzhou.


    Therefore, everyone was smiling. However, when the live broadcast camera captured the situation here, the netizens watching the live broadcast were confused.


    Why are they confused? They actually saw Lu Yanzhou in the live broadcast of the Mars One launch.


    Not only Lu Yanzhou, but also Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou was talking to someone, and Xie Chengze stood beside him, looking at Lu Yanzhou with a smile, his eyes as gentle as ever.


    ¡°Did I see it right? It¡¯s Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°How did Lu Yanzhou go on such an occasion?¡±


    ¡°Did Xie Chengze take him there to clear up the rumors of their breakup?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not right. It¡¯s very weird that Xie Chengze can go to such an occasion!¡±


    ¡°Although Xie Chengze is rich, other rich people didn¡¯t go. Why did he get to go? He even took Lu Yanzhou with him, this is outrageous.¡±


    ¡°So, the reason why Xie Chengze left the venue in a hurry yesterday has been found. He¡¯s anxious to go to the base to watch the launch of Mars Ones, who wouldn¡¯t leave quickly?¡±


    ¡­


    As they talked, everyone felt that something is more and more wrong: ¡°Why¡­are those people surrounding Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou has simply become a central figure!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he a cook? He is so popular because of his good cooking skills?¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, then they heard the host say: ¡°Mars One is about to be launched. Next, I would like to invite Lu Yanzhou, the general manager of Mars One!¡±


    ¡°Did I hear it wrong?¡±


    ¡°The name of the general manager of Mars One is Lu Yanzhou?!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the general manager of Mars One Mr. L?¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou comes out! The camera keeps following him!¡±


    ¡°So Lu Yanzhou is Mr. L???¡±


    ¡­


    Now, the entire live broadcast is following Lu Yanzhou. This man who is nearly forty years old is very handsome, but he looks a little different from when he used to stream by himself.


    Lu Yanzhou always smiles and makes jokes during his live stream. He looks like an ordinary Internet celebrity, but with a steady face, he makes people feel that he is trustworthy and worthy of reliance.


    At this moment, the host also began to introduce Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Mr. Lu Yanzhou is the main developer of Mars One and a famous scientist of ours. His scientific research achievements include¡­¡±


    The long list of scientific research results reported by the host all belong to Mr. L.


    No matter how rich Xie Chengze was, he would not be able to let his little lover embezzle Mr. L¡¯s research results.


    In such an occasion, it is impossible for the host to get the situation wrong.


    So¡­Lu Yanzhou is Mr. L?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Lu Yanzhou is a cook? Why is he Mr. L?¡±


    ¡°Lu, L¡­Mr. L is the abbreviation of Mr. Lu?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­outrageous.¡±


    ¡°I was shocked. Truly, I always thought that Lu Yanzhou was the little husband of a domineering president, but what is this now? Lu Yanzhou is a big researcher boss!¡±


    ¡°I always thought that it was Xie Chengze who kept Lu Yanzhou, but now in this situation, it was Lu Yanzhou who kept Xie Chengze?¡±


    ¡°I used to wonder why Mr. L values ??Yaoshi and Xie so much¡­Now I understand.¡±


    ¡°So when Lu Yanzhou said that he has something to do and can¡¯t live stream this month. It¡¯s because he really has something to do¡­He went to Mars One Launch base.¡±


    ¡°Shocked my whole family.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say anymore. I am a chef. I have always told people that my idol is Lu Yanzhou. I said that I want to study cooking like Lu Yanzhou all my life¡­¡­But he doesn¡¯t even study cooking at all!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou¡¯s knife skills are so good, and the seasonings are just right when he puts them in. Did he get it from doing experiments?¡±


    ¡°Someone said before that Mr. L was locked up in the laboratory and was not allowed to leave. The laboratory was busy complaining¡­They were really wronged. Not only did Mr. L ran out every day, he also started a live stream to show off his love and became an Internet celebrity!¡±


    ¡­


    While everyone was chatting, it was time.


    Lu Yanzhou pressed the launch button and Mars Ones took off.


    People could no longer care about anything else and watched this scene intently.


    But then¡­everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou was surrounded by a group of people again during the live broadcast. He was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd.


    Finally, someone watching the live broadcast asked weakly: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, didn¡¯t he only graduate from high school?¡±


    ¡°Do you believe this? I suspect that his previous experiences are all fake!¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is so awesome, there should be many people that want to harm him, so the country fabricated a false identity for him.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s suddenly a lot of interviews about Lu Yanzhou on the Internet! Go check it out!¡±


    ¡­


    There are indeed a lot of interviews about Lu Yanzhou on the Internet. Lu Yanzhou was interviewed, and others also mentioned Lu Yanzhou in recent interviews related to Mars One.


    ¡°Mr. Lu is really great. The development of Mars One had nothing to do with him at the beginning. But at that time our team encountered some problems and it took us a year to overcome them. So someone gave us an idea and said: You can go to Mr. L and ask. Then we found him. As a result, he quickly identified our problem, and then spent a few days helping us solve the problem, and then continued to guide us.¡±


    ¡°At that time, the person in charge was my teacher. He went to ask Mr. L for advice every day. As time goes by, he feels embarrassed, so he makes Mr. L the person in charge.¡±


    ¡°Mars One can be produced so quickly, thanks to Mr. Lu.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°You ask about Mr. Lu¡¯s work situation? Mr. Lu has a strong working ability and is very focused when working. Therefore, in one hour, he can do the work of others¡¯s several hours, even days, months, and years.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that Mr. Lu pays attention to the balance between work and rest, so there are certain times when we can¡¯t find him.¡±


    ¡°However, he will give a timetable in advance. As long as we go to him during his working hours, he will be there, so it doesn¡¯t affect our work.¡±


    ¡­


    After seeing these interviews, netizens were convinced.


    ¡°A cook who doesn¡¯t want to be a scientist is not a good cook.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is really awesome.¡±


    ¡°No wonder Xie Chengze complained. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t want the money he gave Lu Yanzhou. The boss is not short of money.¡±


    ¡°So he really loves Xie Chengze!¡±


    ¡°I was worried that Lu Yanzhou would be abandoned by Xie Chengze. I was so stupid, for real!¡±


    ¡°I am becoming more and more envious of Xie Chengze! How did he find Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°I used to question father Xie¡¯s vision. The clown turned out to be me.¡±


    ¡­


    Jiang Mi and Tan Shaojun were naturally shocked when they saw this.


    Tan Shaojun covered his chest and even fainted.


    Over the years, he has stayed up late every day playing games, and his heart has long been in bad condition!


    As for Jiang Mi, in addition to regretting it at this moment, he only regretted it.


    Is Lu Yanzhou so powerful? If he had not had a quarrel with Lu Yanzhou, would he now be able to go to the Mars Ones launch base like Xie Chengze?


    But what¡¯s the use of regret?


    Lu Yanzhou had already ignored him.


    Mars One successfully lifted off and arrived at Mars smoothly.


    The two astronauts who went there planted a red flag on Mars and returned successfully.


    During this period, Lu Yanzhou became well-known to everyone.


    Some people who didn¡¯t follow him before are now looking for his previous live videos and watching them from beginning to end.


    Then¡­they were fed bowl after bowl of dog food.


    Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze, these two are too sweet!


    T/N: Next is demon(?) cultivator Lu and Blind Ancestor Xie!

 CH 218

    Xie Chengze wanted to live longer. After appearing in the live broadcast of the Mars One launch at the age of fifty, he gradually handed over all the work he was doing and began to concentrate on charity.


    He also paid attention to diet and insisted on exercising¡­


    In addition, in order to satisfy his desire to live longer, Lu Yanzhou developed some medicine to enhance body functions. He eventually lived to be over a hundred years old.


    When he died, Lu Yanzhou took his soul to a new world.


    As soon as he opened his eyes, Lu Yanzhou felt an excruciating pain. The pain seemed to come from his bone marrow, making him unable to restrain himself from curling up and opening his mouth to groan.


    But he couldn¡¯t move, so he could only lie down.


    At the same time, the original owner¡¯s memory appeared in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mind.


    Seeing the original owner¡¯s memory, Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t care less that he was in so much pain that he was dying!


    He really doesn¡¯t know what to say about the original owner of his body. He was quite miserable at first, but later¡­he was disgusting and outrageous.


    This is a cultivating immortal world.


    Most of the worlds held hostage by Black Tortoise don¡¯t have powerful energies in them, and the same is true for this cultivation world.


    There is no way for cultivators in this world to ascend to immortality. In the entire world, the most powerful cultivator is the nascent soul. There are less than ten nascent soul cultivators.


    The levels of cultivation in this world are divided into four levels: Qi refining, foundation establishment, golden core, and nascent soul. The vast majority of cultivators stay in the qi refining stage all their lives. If they can build their foundation, they can already become a big boss. If they can form their golden core¡­the entire world of cultivation will open the way for them.


    After all, those nascent soul cultivators rarely come out.


    As for the original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body, not only was he a foundation establishment cultivator, but he also had a father who was at the golden core stage, making him an enviable second-generation cultivator.


    Nowadays, spiritual energy is scarce, making it more and more difficult for everyone to cultivate. The original owner was born with better resources as a second-generation cultivator, which should have been a good thing, but the original owner¡¯s life wasn¡¯t a happy one.


    The original owner¡¯s father was able to form his golden core by some combination of circumstances. After entering the golden core stage, his cultivation level never improved.


    However, he wanted to become a nascent soul master like crazy, because his early love rival was one of the only remaining nascent soul cultivators in the world.


    In fact, after so many years, the female cultivator that the original owner¡¯s father liked has been dead for who knows how many years. The original owner¡¯s father may not be able to remember her appearance, but the original owner¡¯s father has always maintained his hatred for his love rival.


    After all, it was that hatred that supported him in hard training for many years.


    However, his golden core wasn¡¯t very good so he would never reach the nascent soul stage¡­After the original owner¡¯s father was greatly shocked, he came up with a way.


    He himself can¡¯t cultivate to the nascent soul stage, but he can have a child and make the child cultivate to the nascent soul stage!


    Thus, he took in wives and concubines and concentrated on having children¡­


    This is how the original owner came to be.


    It is difficult for cultivators in the golden core stage to conceive children, but the original owner¡¯s father spent countless resources and spent hundreds of years, then he finally had five children, and the original owner was the one with the best aptitude among the five children.


    Of course, soon after he was born, he was taught by the original owner¡¯s father and forced to cultivate.


    The original owner¡¯s childhood was nothing but cultivation, so there was nothing bright about it, but he didn¡¯t realize it.


    The original owner had good aptitude, so his father spared no effort in cultivating him. He became a well-known genius.


    Gathering qi into his body at the age of three and building his foundation at the age of twenty. The original owner has always been the most outstanding among his peers. Many people think that he is the most promising person among this generation to reach the nascent soul stage.


    The original owner also felt a little elated because of these compliments.


    However, after the original owner entered the foundation establishment stage, his cultivation progress became extremely slow. For ten years, his cultivation level did not increase much.


    This is normal. The original owner¡¯s previous fast cultivation actually grew the seedling by pulling the root1To spoil things by undue haste; impatient for success.


    The original owner¡¯s aptitude was indeed outstanding, but not to the point of being unique. He was able to establish a foundation at the age of twenty because he had done almost nothing but cultivate in the previous twenty years, and the original owner¡¯s father also kept providing resources.


    However, as the original owner¡¯s cultivation level improved but his character cannot keep up, his cultivation level will naturally stagnate.


    If it were any other elder, encountering this situation, they would definitely have asked the original owner to go out to experience the world. However, the original owner¡¯s father still forced the original owner to cultivate, and then¡­thought of a stupid move.


    The original owner¡¯s father found a dao companion for the original owner, and planned to let the original owner and the dao companion cultivate together.


    The original owner has ice spirit roots, so it¡¯s best to find someone with similar or complementary spirit roots. The original owner¡¯s father set his sight on a female cultivator in the sect who had water spirit roots. He gave a lot of resources and finally persuaded this female cultivator to become the original owner¡¯s dao companion.


    The female cultivator is a little older than the original owner, and she is also in the foundation establishment stage. Her cultivation level is similar to the original master. If they dual cultivate, they can help each other.


    If they want to get the best results from the dual cultivation, they naturally have to make some preparations.


    The original owner¡¯s father went around looking for spirits pills for the two of them to use to keep them in the best physical condition¡­


    As a result, just when their dao companion ceremony was about to be held, the original owner was about to dual cultivate with this female cultivator, the original owner¡¯s father died.


    When he went out to look for resources, he encountered a demon beast in the golden core stage and was killed by the demon beast.


    Although the original owner is already in his thirties, he had been controlled by his father for the past thirty years.


    His father suddenly disappeared, the original owner was naturally at a loss.


    At that time, the dao companion appointed by the original owner¡¯s father also went back on her word and was unwilling to hold a dao companion ceremony with the original owner ¡ª she fell in love with a male cultivator who had just joined the sect not long ago and was only in the qi refining stage.


    She even dual cultivated with that male cultivator!


    The original owner, as a senior brother, felt that this was a great shame and humiliation, so he approached the male cultivator for a duel. It turned out that the male cultivator¡¯s cultivation had reached the foundation establishment stage after the dual cultivating, so his strength was comparable to the original owner.


    Not only that, before this male cultivator joined the sect, he had been practicing outside, fighting various people or demon beasts, and experiencing strange encounters. However, the original owner had been cultivating in the cave since he was born.


    The original owner was defeated by this male cultivator in just a few strokes.


    Not only that, the male cultivator also accused the original owner in public, saying that the original owner¡¯s father relied on his strong cultivation to force the female cultivator to become the original owner¡¯s dao companion for him to pluck to nurture himself, which the female cultivator was unwilling.


    This person also laughed at the original owner, saying that if the original owner had not had a good father and good resources, he would never have become a genius in everyone¡¯s eyes. He also said that the original owner¡¯s cultivation was all cultivated from pills and he was actually vulnerable.


    Both of these are nonsense.


    The original owner¡¯s father wanted to let the original owner reach the nascent soul, so he naturally valued the original owner¡¯s foundation.


    Taking pills to improve one cultivation would damage their foundation. How could the original owner¡¯s father allow that? The original owner had taken some pills, but they were only to replenish spiritual energy.


    There¡¯s also the plucking to nurture. Taking this plucking to nurture roads will cause problems in one cultivation. If the original owner really intends to do this, the spiritual energy in his body will be mixed later. It may be no problem to cultivate to the golden core stage, but if he wants to reach the nascent soul stage¡­unless he turns to demon cultivation, who knows how many he needs to reach nascent soul.


    That is almost impossible to succeed. The original owner¡¯s father will naturally not let the original owner take such a path. He just wants the original owner and his dao companion to cultivate together and improve their cultivation.


    After ten years of stagnant cultivation, the original owner¡¯s self-confidence was almost gone!


    The original owner was insulted by this male cultivator, but because he couldn¡¯t speak, he couldn¡¯t explain it for a while.


    Not everyone believes in this male cultivator, but there are always people who believe it. In addition, the original owner was too famous in those years, which must have hindered some people¡­


    In the sect, there are more and more rumors about the original owner.


    The original owner¡¯s character was not very good, but now that he is facing so many rumors, he feels like the sky is about to fall.


    At this time, because the original owner¡¯s performance was no longer outstanding, and because the original owner¡¯s father passed away¡­the sect¡¯s resources for the original owner had also become less. They did not attach as much importance to the original owner as before.


    All these things accumulated together made the original owner¡¯s character become extreme. He began to target the male cultivator everywhere.


    However, the original owner was just a flower growing in the greenhouse, he had no means at all. Every time he went to trouble the male cultivator, he was the one who suffered.


    In the process, his reputation got worse and worse.


    Ignoring that, two months ago, a secret realm was opened, and the sect sent foundation establishment cultivators there¡­The original owner was caught by the male cultivator in this secret realm and took away his spirit root.


    In front of the original owner, the male cultivator dug out the original owner¡¯s spirit root, gave the spiritual root to another female cultivator, and then threw the original owner into an illusion formation.


    Without the spirit root, the original body¡¯s cultivation will slowly dissipate, and eventually he will become an ordinary person. Digging out one spirit root is extremely painful.


    When the secret realm was closed and the original owner was thrown out of the secret realm, he immediately complained to the sect, but no one believed him.


    They had never heard of such a thing as spirit root transplantation. In addition, the original owner had ¡®falsely accused¡¯ the male cultivator several times in the past¡­


    Everyone felt that this time, the original owner was messing around again.


    They felt that the original owner¡¯s spirit roots should have been destroyed in the illusion, and what the original owner complained about should have been woven for him by the illusion.


    It¡¯s normal for the original owner to be confused by illusions, isn¡¯t it?


    The male cultivator was already at the advanced stage of foundation establishment, but the original owner had become a useless person. It was impossible for the sect to stand up for the original owner.


    However, the original owner was the son of the former elder of the sect, so they still brought the original owner back to the sect.


    Only this time, the sect found an excuse to take back the cave that the original owner¡¯s father left to the original owner.


    After the original owner¡¯s mother gave birth to the original owner, she took a bunch of resources given by the original owner¡¯s father and returned to her family to cultivate. The original owner¡¯s father¡¯s disciples and the original owner¡¯s brothers and sisters did not like the original owner who once occupied most of the resources, so that the original owner had nowhere to go and could only stay in the library.


    Up until this point, Lu Yanzhou had always sympathized with the original owner.


    The original owner was really unlucky.


    But what the original owner did next was too much.


    After experiencing all the above, the original owner blackened and became even more paranoid than his father.


    He hated the male cultivator so much that he vowed to kill him, but the original owner had become a useless person, and revenge was obviously impossible under normal circumstances.


    The original owner¡­turns to demon cultivation.


    Among the many collections left by the original owner¡¯s father, there are some demon arts.


    In this world, all cultivators who cultivate by stealing and harming others are collectively called demon cultivators.


    Many demon cultivation techniques do not require spirit roots, such as those that take the plucking to nurture path.


    In fact, the righteous cultivators can also take the plucking to nurture, but it¡¯s generally more gentle. The party who is plunder will lose some spiritual energy at most but they have to be willing to do it. When the demon cultivator plunders¡­the party who was plunder will either die or be injured.


    Therefore, if the original owner uses demon cultivation to plunder other people and is discovered, he will definitely be killed.


    As a result, the original owner naturally did not dare to plunder others easily. He had been looking for a suitable candidate, so after choosing for a long time, he actually selected one.


    That is the sect¡¯s only nascent soul ancestor, Xie Chengze, who was seriously injured after a battle with the demon cultivator a hundred years ago and was recuperating in the forbidden area behind the sect.


    Unbeknownst to others, the original owner learned from his father that this ancestor was at the end of his strength and could not hold on much longer.


    Because of the serious injury, this ancestor could not even use his spiritual energy and looked like an ordinary person.


    However, this ancestor¡¯s cultivation is still there.


    The most important thing is¡­the original owner¡¯s father has a token that allows him to go to the valley where this ancestors lived.


    If he can plot against the ancestor and gain access to his cultivation, why worry about not being able to take revenge?


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He really wanted to kill the original owner. This person actually wanted to use the demon skill of plundering to nurture on Xie Chengze!


    Is his Xie Chengze so easy to be bullied?!


    Fortunately, the original owner did not succeed!


    After the original owner had that idea, he took action almost immediately and began to contact Xie Chengze who lived in the forbidden area of ????the back mountain.


    He pretended to break in there accidentally, pretended to fall in love with Xie Chengze at first sight, and used some clumsy methods to please Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze actually¡­quite liked this!


    Xie Chengze in this world was seriously injured and born blind. He couldn¡¯t see the original owner¡¯s expression clearly, so he was deceived by the original owner. He was quite good to the original owner.

 CH 219

    The original owner of Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body belongs to the Qingyun Sect. It is one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world. It has a nascent soul ancestor, Xie Chengze.


    Even if Xie Chengze was seriously injured, he was still in the nascent soul stage and was one of the few nascent soul cultivators left in the world.


    Xie Chengze was brought back from among the common people by his master when he was twelve years old.


    He was originally a little beggar. Because he was blind, he accidentally blocked someone on the road and was kicked into the river. At the moment of life and death, Xie Chengze, who had water spirit root, caused the spiritual energy on the river to fluctuate. His master happened to pass by and saw this scene¡­his life has changed since then.


    After coming to Qingyun Sect, Xie Chengze was found to have water-based heavenly spirit root. Within a month of joining the sect, he gathered qi into his body and became a qi refining cultivator. He reached foundation establishment at the age of twenty-eight, and at fifty-two he reached the golden core, and finally at the age of ninety-eight, he reached nascent soul, becoming the youngest nascent soul cultivator at that time.


    Qi refining cultivators can live for two hundred years. Foundation establishment cultivators can live up to four hundred years. Golden core cultivators can live up to six hundred years. Nascent Soul cultivators can live for at least eight hundred years, even those who take some life-prolonging spirit pills can live to a thousand years old.


    After Xie Chengze reach nascent soul, he should be able to live a happy life for seven to eight hundred years. However, not long after he became a nascent soul cultivator, he was targeted by the only nascent soul demon cultivator in the world at that time.


    The nascent soul stage demon cultivator wanted to take Xie Chengze back and refine Xie Chengze¡¯s nascent soul into spirit pills to enhance his skills.


    Xie Chengze fought with the demon cultivator for a long time, then both sides suffered losses. At this time, a golden core cultivator from Qingyun Sect passed by and helped Xie Chengze. The two of them worked together and finally killed the demon cultivator, but Xie Chengze himself was seriously injured.


    Xie Chengze used his cultivation to suppress his injuries so he wasn¡¯t dead, but once he used his cultivation to fight and his injuries exploded, he might die.


    Therefore, although Qingyun Sect said that they have a nascent soul cultivator, in fact, it¡¯s difficult for this nascent soul cultivator to take action. He¡¯s similar to those nascent soul cultivators who are approaching their end in some sects.


    Because of this, Qingyun Sect had high hopes for the original owner, hoping that the original owner could reach the nascent soul stage like Xie Chengze.


    Although the original owner does not have a heaven spirit root like Xie Chengze, he does have the single ice spirit root. His spirit root is also very thick, only slightly thinner than the heaven spirit root. It¡¯s also a mutated spirit root too. His aptitude is top-notch. There was indeed hope for him to reach the nascent soul stage.


    It¡¯s a pity that the original owner has lost his spirit root now, so the sect can no longer cultivate him.


    The severe pain in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body slowly disappeared. He finally felt a little better.


    At this point in time, the original owner has lost his spirit root and started cultivating demon skill. He has also set his sights on Xie Chengze and even lives in Xie Chengze¡¯s valley.


    Xie Chengze was really good to the original owner. The original owner just used some stupid methods to please him, but he actually gave the original owner some genius treasures to help the original owner recover from his injuries.


    The reason why Lu Yanzhou is in so much pain now is because of the sequelae caused by losing his spirit root.


    After the original owner¡¯s spirit root was dug out, the spiritual energy in his body became chaotic, so there would be attacks from time to time.


    Last night, he had another attack.


    The original owner was really unlucky. His father died and his dao companion was robbed. He was also beaten up and had his spirit root dug out.


    It¡¯s normal for him to blacken, but the direction of his blackening is wrong.


    What he intends to do is to gain strength by hurting innocent people and then take revenge.


    The most important thing is¡­Xie Chengze is really good to the original owner and takes great care of him.


    Lu Yanzhou hated the original owner because of what happened next.


    The original owner had nowhere to go, and Xie Chengze also felt sorry for him, so he let him live in the valley.


    The original owner had more and more contact with Xie Chengze, and then he discovered that no matter what, Xie Chengze was still a nascent soul cultivator, so he could not just plunder him if he wanted to.


    At least, if Xie Chengze resisted, he might fail.


    After thinking about it, the original owner decided to get some spirit pills that were harmful to Xie Chengze, secretly make Xie Chengze take them, and then tried to plunder Xie Chengze.


    Because of this, the original owner went down the mountain to buy medicinal herbs.


    The male cultivator who robbed the original owner¡¯s dao companion and dug up the original owner¡¯s spirit root was named Wei Yuzheng.


    The original owner hated Wei Yuzheng very much, and Wei Yuzheng was also wary of the original owner.


    Wei Yuzheng did not kill the original owner in the secret realm before. On the one hand, he was afraid that the sect would investigate the matter thoroughly if the original owner died. On the other hand, he wanted the original owner to live miserably so that he could humiliate the original owner.


    Since he wanted to see the original owner¡¯s jokes, he naturally kept an eye on the original owner closely. As a result, he found that the original owner lived in Xie Chengze¡¯s valley.


    Probably because he was afraid that the original owner would take revenge on him after gaining Xie Chengze¡¯s favor, Wei Yuzheng ambushed the original owner at the foot of the mountain, intending to kill him.


    Fortunately, the original owner had a self-defense jade pendant given by Xie Chengze, which blocked Wei Yuzheng¡¯s attack.


    However, the movement here attracted the attention of a late-stage golden core demon cultivator lurking near Qingyun Sect. That demon cultivator was the younger brother of the demon cultivator who attacked Xie Chengze a hundred years ago and was killed by Xie Chengze. He felt Xie Chengze¡¯s spiritual energy on the self dense jade pendant, so the original owner was captured.


    After capturing the original owner, the demon cultivator naturally found out about the original owner¡¯s demon cultivation. After he understood the original owner¡¯s situation after a few questions, he asked the original owner to worship him as his teacher and cultivate with him.


    It turns out that the demon arts that the original owner¡¯s father left behind was from the demon cultivator who was killed by Xie Chengze.


    The golden core cultivator from Qingyun Sect who helped Xie Chengze kill the demon cultivator was the original owner¡¯s father. After that, the original owner¡¯s father also got a basic version of the technique left by the demon cultivator and planned to study it.


    What the original owner cultivated was the most basic training method of this demon skill.


    People who cultivate this skill can use the pluck to nurture methods to cultivate during Qi refining and foundation establishment stages, but when they reach the golden core stage, it¡¯s easy to cause problems when plundering again.


    First of all, the golden core stage cultivators are not so easily fooled. Second, when the golden core stage cultivator resists, those who cultivate this demon skill and plunder may get backslash if they are not careful.


    Therefore, behind this technique, one doesn¡¯t actually rely on plucking to nurture to advance. Instead, one should kill the cultivator, use the cultivator¡¯ golden core and nascent soul to turn it into a pill, and then cultivate by eating this ¡®human pill¡¯.


    A hundred years ago, this demon cultivator¡¯s brother had already reached the nascent soul stage. Even if he killed Xie Chengze and refined him into a pill and ate it, he would not be able to improve his cultivation level much. Therefore, he intends to refine Xie Chengze so his younger brother also enters the nascent soul stage.


    Later, the elder brother died, and the younger brother naturally hated Xie Chengze.


    The demon cultivator also had his eyes on Xie Chengze. In his opinion, the original owner was a very good target to use.


    He used his words to stimulate the original owner¡¯s hatred towards Qingyun Sect, and killed a golden core cultivator, refined him into a pill for the original owner to take to improve the original owner¡¯s cultivation, causing the original owner to become a complete demon.


    After feeling the pleasure of rapidly improving his cultivation, the original owner started a ¡®hunt¡¯ with his master to kill the golden core cultivators to improve their strength.


    It didn¡¯t take long for the original owner¡¯s strength to reach the golden core intermediate stage. At this time, his master took the original owner and sneaked into Qingyun Sect.


    Killing and refining golden core cultivator into pill and taking it can no longer improve his strength. To improve the original owner¡¯s demon cultivation, he must take a pill made from a nascent soul cultivator to allow him to break through to the nascent soul stage.


    They intend to capture Xie Chengze and refine him.


    In the last battle, Xie Chengze blew himself up, and neither the original owner nor the demon cultivator survived.


    Fortunately, the original owner is dead, otherwise it would be really disgusting.


    It was pitiful that the original owner had his spirit root dug out, but later when the original owner and his demon cultivator master caught golden core cultivators, the original owner not only dug up other people¡¯s golden elixirs alive to refine it into pills, but also dug up their spirit root to torture them, using various outrageous methods.


    During that time, the original owner even killed many people from Qingyun Sect.


    The original intention was to kill Wei Yuzheng. Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t say anything, but the rest of the Qingyun Sect¡­Although some people ridiculed the original owner after his accident, most of the people in Qingyun Sect actually didn¡¯t do anything. Among the people killed by the original owner, there are also those who have a good impression of the original owner and have spoken up for the original owner.


    As a result, when the original owner met anyone who was out to train from Qingyun Sect, he killed them at will. In order not to reveal his identity, he even killed them all!


    What the original owner did was even worse than Wei Yuzheng.


    Not to mention, Xie Chengze¡¯s death was entirely the original owner¡¯s fault.


    Lu Yanzhou sat up on the ground, feeling extremely disgusted with the original owner and feeling a little sorry for Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze in this world is really miserable.


    Xie Chengze is actually only two hundred years old now. When he was a child, he was a little beggar and never had a good life. Later, after he entered the sect, because he was talented and the sect needed a master to support its appearance, he cultivated everyday without even a moment of free time.


    There is actually a reason why the original owner¡¯s father would train him like that and make him cultivate non-stop ¡ª this is how Xie Chengze cultivates!


    It¡¯s just that Xie Chengze finally became a nascent soul cultivator, but the original owner failed.


    Lu Yanzhou could already guess the reason.


    Xie Chengze was a beggar when he was young. He experienced the ups and downs of human relationships, so his character is very developed. However, the original owner was different. He grew up in a greenhouse and could not bear any setbacks.


    The original owner¡¯s father wanted to become stronger in order to defeat his love rival, but the original owner¡­he didn¡¯t even have the motivation to become stronger.


    It¡¯s very difficult for him to become a strong person like this.


    Back to Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze finally reach nascent soul and could finally enjoy life, but he was attacked by a demon cultivator and was seriously injured.


    In order to survive, he could only hide in the valley behind the sect and never step out for a hundred years.


    He may be kind to the original owner because he is too lonely and wants company.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed, closed his eyes and began to feel his physical condition, while thinking about what to do next.


    He would never be able to take the path that the original owner had taken but he could not get the original owner¡¯s spirit root for the time being, and he also needed to become stronger.


    If he doesn¡¯t become stronger, how can he protect Xie Chengze?


    He still has to find a way to heal Xie Chengze¡¯s injury!


    Otherwise¡­even if there is no original owner, someone else may lead the demon cultivator, who had already reached the late stage of golden core a hundred years ago, here. What will Xie Chengze do then?


    As for merit, Xie Chengze¡¯s illness in this world should be his blindness. In comparison, he doesn¡¯t need to rush this matter for now.


    As for how to become stronger, let¡¯s look at his physical condition first.


    Lu Yanzhou began to check the original owner¡¯s physical condition. When he saw it, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    The original owner¡¯s physical condition was very bad, his body was riddled with holes.


    In addition to stealing the original owner¡¯s spirit root, Wei Yuzheng also injured other parts of the original owner from repeated conflicts.


    The original owner lost his father, so naturally those injuries could not be healed.


    It was not until recently, after getting close to Xie Chengze, that Xie Chengze gave the original owner some medicine, so the original owner¡¯s body could recover.


    The original owner actually returned the favor with a vengeance!

 CH 220

    Before setting off to the secret realm and having his spirit root dug up by Wei Yuzheng, the original owner had already had many conflicts with Wei Yuzheng. From outsiders¡¯ perspective , these conflicts were all initiated by the original owner.


    For example, the first time the two of them had a conflict, the original owner approached Wei Yuzheng and asked for a duel.


    But from beginning to end, it was the original owner who suffered.


    The original owner has never killed anyone so far, so how can he win against someone like Wei Yuzheng, who had been a loose cultivator for decades and did not join Qingyun Sect until the late stage of Qi refining?


    Now the original owner has many hidden wounds that Wei Yuzheng deliberately left on the original owner!


    The original owner¡¯s father has an average aptitude. He was lucky enough to reach the golden core stage when his life span was about to end, so his long life allowed him to accumulate a lot of good things.


    However, in order to have children, to train the original owner, and to find a dao companion for the original owner, he had already exhausted all his resources. If not for this, he would not have gone out to find more resources when the original owner¡¯s Dao Companion Ceremony was about to be held, then finally died outside.


    The original owner lost his father and had no resources, so these hidden wounds were not healed yet. Fortunately, Xie Chengze recently gave him some spirit pills that he could use to heal his wounds.


    The original owner has been cultivating since he was a child, so his foundation is very good. As long as he takes good care of these hidden wounds, it won¡¯t take long to heal.


    Hidden wounds are not a problem, it¡¯s his cultivation.


    Thanks to the original owner¡¯s father, the original owner knew many righteous cultivation methods. Then the original owner later became a demon cultivator, and the master he followed is also the greatest among those demon cultivators¡­The original owner also knew many demon cultivation techniques.


    Lu Yanzhou read all these techniques, then combined them with his situation, he finally knew what cultivation in this world was like.


    Let¡¯s talk about the cultivation of righteous cultivators first.


    If a righteous cultivator wants to draw qi into their body, they must have spirit root. As for the role of spirit root¡­it is actually used to attract qi.


    The thicker the spirit root, the greater the attraction to qi. For example, Xie Chengze has a water spirit root, so the water qi naturally likes him and will run into his body without him having to do anything.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for this, Xie Chengze¡¯s master wouldn¡¯t have discovered this piece of raw jade in his life.


    The reason why it was slow for people with two spirit roots and three spirit roots to cultivate is, on the one hand, because such people generally have weak spirit roots. On the other hand, after attracting several different qi, those different qi may fight in their body.


    Generally, such cultivators will choose the thickest one from their spirit roots to specifically absorb that element qi and give up cultivating the other spirit root.


    However, even if they give up, those spirit roots are still there, which sometimes affects their cultivation speed.


    To put it bluntly, qi will only be close to people with spirit roots. Without spirit root¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s current body doesn¡¯t attract any kind of qi at all.


    Even if he works hard, no qi will enter his body.


    The qi in his own body would even escape outside.


    The main point of righteous cultivators is to become ¡®friends¡¯ with the qi and live in harmony, so that it will not harm their body when cultivating, but demon cultivation is different.


    They will trap qi in their body.


    They will even use various means to rob others of their qi to increase their own strength.


    Their attitude towards qi is to suppress and control.


    The pro of doing this is that all the qi can be snatched and used, but the con is that these qi will come back to bite them.


    Therefore, there are very few strong demon cultivators. After the nascent soul demon cultivator died at Xie Chengze¡¯s hand a hundred years ago, there¡¯s still no nascent soul demon cultivators in this world. There¡¯s only a few golden core demon cultivators.


    Of course, demon cultivators also have some methods to prevent or reduce the backlash from those qi.


    Speaking of which, they can only plunder others¡¯ cultivation, but cannot directly plunder the qi that exists everywhere in the world because the qi robbed from others has been ¡®tamed¡¯, so those qi will be more obedient.


    As for the qi in spirit stones and air¡­it can only be used by orthodox cultivators slowly gathering it into their bodies.


    If the demon cultivator has spirit root, they can also do this. If they does not have a spirit root and forcibly absorbs it, he may explode and die.


    In truth, if they don¡¯t have spirit root, there is no way to forcefully absorb it.


    After understanding the entire cultivation system, Lu Yanzhou became a little worried.


    Now that he has no spirit root, how can he cultivate? ! Does he have to go all the way to the dark side and cultivate demon skills like the original owner?


    Well, the original owner is now using a demon cultivation technique to trap all the qi in his body that have been cultivated in the past and have not yet escaped, so that his strength does not continue to decline.


    If he plunder or rob others of their cultivation, he can also gather more qi in his body and become stronger.


    But Lu Yanzhou would definitely not do such a thing!


    However, if he wanted to get his spirit root back¡­without strength, how could he get his spirit root back?


    Looking for help? Apart from Xie Chengze, he¡¯s afraid no one will help him!


    But Xie Chengze cannot use his strength. His cultivation needs to be used to suppress the injuries.


    Moreover¡­even if his spirit root is recovered, Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t know how to put it into his body.


    After the original owner got together with that demon cultivator, every time he caught a orthodox cultivator, he would dig out their spirit root and try to transplant his spirit root into others, but he didn¡¯t succeed at all.


    He doesn¡¯t know how Wei Yuzheng managed to dig out the original owner¡¯s spirit root and give them to others.


    In this case, how can he improve his strength?


    Wait, Lu Yanzhou suddenly realized something.


    Before he came to rescue Xie Chengze, he suppressed his own strength, but his soul strength was still much stronger than ordinary people. The experience in the previous worlds also made his soul strength much stronger.


    And a strong soul will bring him some benefits.


    In the ordinary world, his memory and understanding is very good. In the interstellar world, his mental force is also far superior to ordinary people.


    As in this world¡­he has a very powerful divine sense.


    The original owner¡¯s divine sense was very weak due to lack of experience and other reasons, but he is different. His divine sense¡­Lu Yanzhou made an estimate and felt that his divine sense should have reached the peak that this world can accommodate. It¡¯s definitely not worse than those nascent soul cultivators.


    In this world, strength improvement doesn¡¯t only depend on qi accumulation, but also depends on their soul state, or their divine sense.


    His soul state should have reached the nascent soul stage.


    This is definitely good for him, but he needs to be more careful when using his divine sense, at least not to draw any suspicion on him. If someone thinks something is wrong with him, he may be noticed by the heaven dao in this small world.


    Besides, with such divine sense¡­


    Lu Yanzhou could feel that the valley where Xie Chengze lived was filled with qi.


    Because his divine sense is so strong, he can even feel those various colors qi flying and jumping around him. The most abundant qi among them is undoubtedly the sky-blue water qi.


    After all, Xie Chengze, who has a water spirit root, is staying in the valley.


    When the original owner still had his ice spirit root, those water qi were very close to him, but now¡­It¡¯s as if Lu Yanzhou does not exist for these water qi.


    Lu Yanzhou used his divine sense to feel these qi and found that he could drive them away with his divine sense.


    According to legend, this should be the reason why a nascent soul powerhouse can surround themselves with only qi that they can use, or simply have no qi around them.


    After thinking for a moment, Lu Yanzhou used his divine sense to grab a ray of water qi and tried to integrate it into his body.


    However, this qi was not obedient at all and refused to enter his body no matter what.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou simply used his divine sense to suppress it and wrap it up¡­


    Well¡­this qi suddenly became obedient!


    This qi were pressed into a water droplet shape and integrated into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body.


    This method works!


    After Lu Yanzhou recalled the demon cultivation method, he intended to cultivate by ¡®plundering¡¯ nature¡¯s qi¡­It turned out that it really worked!


    In this way, he doesn¡¯t have to steal other people¡¯s qi, and can also strengthen himself!


    With this thought in mind, Lu Yanzhou grabbed another ball of qi, compressed it with his divine sense, and waited until the qi became obedient before letting it enter his body.


    He kept repeating the cycle, enjoying it endlessly, and then discovered that the qi that entered his body after being taught a lesson was actually more obedient than the original owner¡¯s qi that he had worked hard to cultivate. He wonders what¡¯s going on.


    Is qi also bullying the weak and fearing the strong?


    That is to say, qi has no IQ, otherwise it would definitely scowl Lu Yanzhou: ¡°You are the one who bullies the weak and fears the strong!¡±


    To be honest, these qi are not bullying the weak and fearing the strong at all. It¡¯s purely because Lu Yanzhou is too strong and can control them.


    Qi itself can be controlled using formations and the like. With such a powerful divine sense, it¡¯s not surprising that Lu Yanzhou can control it!


    It¡¯s common for cultivators of the same level to have the same amount of qi in their bodies, but their strength is very different. This is because some cultivators have low divine sense and have too weak control over their own qi.


    It was like this for the original owner before too.


    On the contrary, Wei Yuzheng has gone through countless experiences, and his divine sense is relatively strong. He can use the least amount of qi to launch the greatest attack. His strength is almost unmatched by anyone at the same level.


    When Wei Yuzheng was in the beginning of foundation establishment, he could even challenge the middle and late stages of foundation establishment.


    Divine sense is very very important!


    In fact, Xie Chengze in this world can cultivate so quickly because even if he is just a remnant soul, his soul strength is still stronger than those aborigines in the small world.


    Ordinary people in the small world, even if they have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, their divine sense is completely incomparable to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s. They can only speed up their qi absorption and expel the qi, but they cannot directly control those ownless qi like Lu Yanzhou.


    Not to mention ordinary cultivators, they can only use their spirit root to coax¡­well, he should say practice various techniques, and then let the qi enter their bodies and be used by them.


    Of course, no one follows Lu Yanzhou¡¯s path, and part of the reason is that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s approach is actually very inefficient.


    After struggling for a long time, he managed to grab a little bit of qi and put it into his body.


    He still needs to think of other ways, such as using spirit stones or some genius treasures.


    There is more qi in spirit stones than in the air, so it must be easier to catch, right?


    However, he is really poor now and has no spirit stones to use.


    The original owner¡¯s father died outside, and everything he brought with him was gone. What about the original owner? When the original owner went to the secret realm and met Wei Yuzheng. Wei Yuzheng not only dug up the original owner¡¯s spirit root, but also took away the spirit pills and spirit stones that the original owner carried with him.


    Now the original owner only has some things that he and his father would not carry with him, such as the skills manual¡­


    As for how to get the spirit stones¡­Lu Yanzhou thought of the dao companion who almost became his, but now she has become one of Wei Yuzheng¡¯s female partners.


    Yes, one of the partners.


    Wei Yuzheng was quite popular with women, so there were several women around him. After he dug out the original owner¡¯s spirit root, he put it into one of his partner¡¯s bodies!


    Let¡¯s not talk about Wei Yuzheng¡­The female cultivator who almost became the original master¡¯s dao companion is named Liu Ruoxian. She is eighty years old this year, fifty years older than the original owner.


    Her aptitude is not very good. Although she has a single water spirit root, her spirit root were relatively thin. Because of this, when the original owner¡¯s father approached her and asked her to become the original owner¡¯s dao companion, she immediately agreed.


    As a result, she took a lot of things from the original owner¡¯s father but in the end, she regretted but didn¡¯t tell the truth and even blamed him, saying that she was forced by the original owner¡¯s father.


    Yes, those words were said by Wei Yuzheng, but she did not deny it or clarify it for the original owner!


    Lu Yanzhou thought he could get back the resources she got.


    Qingyun Sect only has one nascent soul, Xie Chengze. Although there are many golden core cultivators, there are only twenty or thirty in total.


    The original owner¡¯s father was determined to surpass his love rival, so he chose to join a sect that had a grudge against his love rival¡¯s sect.


    If Qingyun Sect prospers, it can suppress the original owner¡¯s love rival¡¯s sect! The original owner¡¯s father naturally worked hard for Qingyun Sect. Of course, Qingyun Sect also gave him a lot of resources.


    He is hard-working and has no other problems except that he is a bit crazy when it comes to raising his son. He is also very popular in Qingyun Sect.


    The original owner¡¯s father had been in the Qingyun Sect for hundreds of years, though he had no merit, he did hard work. Therefore, when the original owner¡¯s father just passed away, several golden core cultivators actually wanted to take the original owner as their disciple. However, the original owner was thinking about his father at that time and was arrogant, he felt that he did not need a master, so he refused.


    Later, the original owner focused on causing trouble for Wei Yuzheng, and was repeatedly slapped in the face by Wei Yuzheng. His reputation became worse and worse. These people also saw that the original owner¡¯s character was not really good, so they slowly gave up on the original owner.


    As for the original owner¡¯s father¡¯s cave¡­ In fact, the cave itself belongs to Qingyun Sect and is only for golden core cultivators. It stands to reason that once the original owner¡¯s father dies, the sect will take it back. It¡¯s also because of the original owner¡¯s father¡¯s many years of contribution that they let the original owner use it.


    When the original owner¡¯s spirit root is gone¡­the sect will definitely can¡¯t let him continue to use the cave. It wouldn¡¯t do any good for the original owner if he still continued to stay there.


    Later, the original owner entered the valley where Xie Chengze lived. Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master and other golden core cultivators should also know about it. If it were not for the original owner¡¯s father¡¯s sake, they would not let the original owner contact Xie Chengze.


    The original owner didn¡¯t understand this so he resented the sect, but Lu Yanzhou could understand. He also discovered that Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master had actually advised the original owner several times not to get into trouble, saying that it was more important to focus on oneself, but it was a pity that the original owner didn¡¯t listen.


    The original owner had a bad temper and was unwilling to show weakness and ask for help, but Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t mind.


    Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou felt much more relaxed, so he turned over and lay down to sleep.


    While Lu Yanzhou was sleeping, in the cave not far away, Xie Chengze opened his eyes and felt something was wrong with him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s life was really boring.


    He was bullied when he was young, then he started cultivating. Besides cultivating, he went out for experience, and then he was seriously injured¡­He couldn¡¯t even cultivate anymore.


    From that time on, he often used his divine sense to observe the people and things in Qingyun Sect.


    At first, his divine sense could not ¡®see¡¯ too far away, and could only ¡®see¡¯ the situation on a few nearby hills. But later, his divine sense began to see farther and farther away.


    When Lu Yanzhou was born, his divine sense could already cover the top of the mountain where Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father lived.


    At that time, when he saw the birth of Lu Yanzhou, he thought the child was quite cute.


    In the next thirty years, he would ¡®see¡¯ Lu Yanzhou from time to time.


    He saw that Lu Yanzhou was forced to cultivate by his father at a young age. He saw that Lu Yanzhou was not feeling well but could not stop cultivating¡­


    His master was not so strict with him.


    Because of this, Xie Chengze even went to the sect master to remind Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father not to push the child too hard.


    It¡¯s a pity that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father is stubborn and doesn¡¯t listen to other people¡¯s advice. He still forces his son to continue.


    Xie Chengze was helpless about this.


    After that, he would still visit Lu Yanzhou from time to time ¡ª he strangely liked this child.


    Lu Yanzhou slowly grew up, reached the foundation establishment stage, and then his cultivation stagnated.


    He knew that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s problem lay in his character, so he asked the sect master to find Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father and persuade Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father to let Lu Yanzhou go out for training.


    However, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father regarded his son as his treasure, the meaning of life, and his everything.


    If he went out to train during the foundation establishment stage, if he was not careful, he might die, so he did not dare to let his son go out.


    Besides, even if he followed, it would actually have little effect.


    The last solution Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father came up with was to find a dao companion for Lu Yanzhou.


    After Xie Chengze found out, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn¡¯t think much about it. Then, things suddenly changed¡­


    Although his divine sense was strong, it was not enough to completely cover the entire Qingyun Sect. After all, Qingyun Sect was too big.


    Besides, he doesn¡¯t pay attention to Qingyun Sect¡¯s people all the time.


    In addition, he didn¡¯t want to watch Lu Yanzhou¡¯s Dao Companion Ceremony¡­During that time, he didn¡¯t use his divine sense to observe his surroundings.


    When he used his divine sense to look at Lu Yanzhou again, he found that Lu Yanzhou had lost his father, lost his dao companion, and was deeply affected that he seemed to have changed into a different person.


    Xie Chengze could even see that many people were talking about Lu Yanzhou.


    But he couldn¡¯t help much. In fact, there was no way to stop this kind of discussion. In the past hundred years, he had even heard others talking about himself, and not all of those comments were positive.


    Some things can only be decided by Lu Yanzhou himself.


    Later, Lu Yanzhou wanted to go to the secret realm. He didn¡¯t agree with it, and the sect master also didn¡¯t agree with it either. He even tried to persuade Lu Yanzhou, but unfortunately Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t listen and even thought that they didn¡¯t have any good intentions.


    Then¡­when Lu Yanzhou came back, he didn¡¯t even have his spirit root.


    After the sect master took back the cave where Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father lived, he told the sect master that he could let Lu Yanzhou come to his place.


    He is no different from a useless person now, and so is Lu Yanzhou. Maybe Lu Yanzhou will feel better if he comes here?


    The most important thing is that Lu Yanzhou will not be harmed by him.


    Because of his decision, the sect master did not take away the token he originally gave to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father from Lu Yanzhou, and even said a few words to Lu Yanzhou to make Lu Yanzhou go to the back mountain.


    Sure enough, Lu Yanzhou came to find him, but¡­Lu Yanzhou cultivated demon skills.


    He had been focusing on cultivation in his early years, but he didn¡¯t actually have much dealings with demon cultivators until he met the nascent soul demon cultivator.


    He did kill the demon cultivator, but before he died, the demon cultivator fought back desperately and poured his life¡¯s energy into his body.


    He is now seriously injured and cannot use his cultivation because he has the demon cultivation qi in his body.


    The demo cultivator¡¯s cultivation was higher than his, so although it couldn¡¯t take root in his body, it still caused him great pain. He could only use his own cultivation to suppress it.


    If he accidentally uses it, the two different qi in his body would collide with each other, and he might explode.


    Under such circumstances, he learned more about demon cultivators and how they cultivate.


    In addition, his divine sense is far beyond ordinary people¡­


    Since Lu Yanzhou has never absorbed other people¡¯s qi, others cannot tell that Lu Yanzhou cultivated demon technique, but he can.


    When Lu Yanzhou used some clumsy means to please him, he even guessed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s plan.


    Perhaps Lu Yanzhou wanted to rob him of his strength.


    This¡­should he say that Lu Yanzhou is whimsical?


    No matter how bad his condition is, he is still a nascent soul cultivator. Lu Yanzhou, a person who was originally in the foundation establishment stage and is now in the Qi refining stage, actually wants to rob him of his cultivation?!


    If Lu Yanzhou really did this, he would only be turned upside down by the qi in his body and explode.


    Xie Chengze was helpless. In this situation, if he told the sect master about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s demon cultivation skill, Lu Yanzhou would probably die.


    He had an strange liking for Lu Yanzhou and couldn¡¯t bear to do this, so he kept Lu Yanzhou by his side without saying anything.


    When he discovered that Lu Yanzhou had some hidden internal injuries, he gave Lu Yanzhou the spirit pills he had accumulated in the past or that the sect master had given him over the years, so that Lu Yanzhou could heal the injury.


    He hoped that Lu Yanzhou could find his way back.


    Last night, he released his divine sense as usual and observed the surrounding situation. As a result, during this observation, he saw Lu Yanzhou who was in great pain because of the loss of his spirit root.


    He himself was in pain all the time because of the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in his body.


    Thus, when he first saw Lu Yanzhou in pain, he just watched calmly, because he knew he had to get through it by himself, and because he couldn¡¯t help Lu Yanzhou.


    But then¡­for some reason, he suddenly felt very sorry for Lu Yanzhou.


    There seemed to be something different about Lu Yanzhou under his divine sense, which made him want to get close to Lu Yanzhou.


    No, it¡¯s not that Lu Yanzhou is different, it¡¯s that he is different, or that he feels different about Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze had withdrawn all his divine senses. His heart thumped and he suddenly realized something.


    He¡­fell in love with Lu Yanzhou.


    He didn¡¯t realize this before, and at that time, he probably didn¡¯t like Lu Yanzhou too much.


    But now¡­maybe Lu Yanzhou¡¯s painful look looked too miserable, so his feelings for this person suddenly deepened.


    When he learned that Lu Yanzhou is going to have a dao companion, he just felt uncomfortable and didn¡¯t want to see it. But now¡­


    If Lu Yanzhou is going to have a dao companion, Xie Chengze felt breathless just thinking about it.


    He should take action to prevent Lu Yanzhou from becoming dao companion with others.


    Xie Chengze was a little confused and didn¡¯t understand why things turned out like this.


    He had never liked anyone before, so why did he suddenly fall in love with Lu Yanzhou?


    Maybe not suddenly? He had a crush on Lu Yanzhou before.


    The key is¡­he has watched Lu Yanzhou since he was a child. Apart from his relatively good aptitude, Lu Yanzhou actually has no good point.


    He was strictly supervised by his father since he was a child. He has no independent opinion, lacks ability, and even worse strength. He cannot bear any setbacks and cannot go very far on the road of immortal cultivation.


    Not to mention that he now has no spirit root and has turned to cultivating demon skills.


    Lu Yanzhou is even trying to take advantage of him now!


    He kept Lu Yanzhou and took great care of him. It was already strange, but he actually fell in love with Lu Yanzhou?


    Xie Chengze felt that he was crazy.


    However, there were strange emotions surging in his heart, making him want to touch Lu Yanzhou, get in touch with Lu Yanzhou, and want to wrap Lu Yanzhou with his own divine sense.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Could it be that he was affected by the demon cultivator¡¯s qi that was left in his body?


    With this in mind, Xie Chengze sat down cross-legged and concentrated on meditating.


    T/N:


    Xie Chengze in every world:


    The loophole (Lu Yanzhou) that Xie Chengze created in the world


    Xie Chengze: He is good looking but that¡¯s all ¨r( ?_? )¨q


    When Lu Yanzhou came into the body


    Xie Chengze: I have fallen??? ( ?¡ó?)£¿

 CH 221

    When Lu Yanzhou first came to the world, he did not dare to use his divine sense casually, so he did not notice that Xie Chengze used his divine sense to ¡®pay attention¡¯ to him.


    When he later used his divine sense to grasp the qi around him¡­Xie Chengze had already taken back his divine sense, so it was even less likely that he would discover anything.


    Therefore, Lu Yanzhou knew nothing about Xie Chengze¡¯s struggles.


    After a good sleep, the first thing Lu Yanzhou did was wash up and tidy himself.


    He now lives in Xie Chengze¡¯s valley.


    The valley has beautiful scenery and abundant qi with some houses and caves. The place where he lived was supposed to be for Xie Chengze¡¯s disciples, but Xie Chengze had no disciples, so he went and lived there.


    Considering that people in the Qi refining stage may need to eat, the house is fully equipped with pots and stoves. There is also a place to bathe, which is convenient for Lu Yanzhou.


    After washing up, Lu Yanzhou took out a brand new set of clothes and put them on.


    Although the Xie Chengze in this world cannot see, this is a cultivation world. Most of the time, people do not look at the world with their eyes.


    For nascent soul ancestors like Xie Chengze, eyes are not that important.


    Lu Yanzhou was somewhat grateful for this, but at the same time he did not dare to go see Xie Chengze in a sloppy manner.


    It will be his first time meeting Xie Chengze later, so he must give Xie Chengze a good impression!


    Lu Yanzhou hoped that Xie Chengze could forget all the stupid things the original owner had done and get to know him again.


    As for why he said that the original owner has done stupid things¡­the original owner doesn¡¯t know how to court people at all. His experience comes from some messy stories and things Wei Yuzheng did.


    Therefore, he read some random poems to Xie Chengze in the past few days, and also told Xie Chengze about his ¡®great achievements¡¯ before he was twenty years old, trying to make Xie Chengze think that he was outstanding.


    That kind of thing¡­Lu Yanzhou felt extremely embarrassed just recalling it.


    The fact that Xie Chengze didn¡¯t throw the original owner out, he was really good-tempered!


    Or maybe it¡¯s because Xie Chengze is too lonely.


    Lu Yanzhou went out to find Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze is already in the nascent soul stage, so he does not need to sleep. He spends most of his time sitting alone on the jade stone beside the pond in the middle of the valley. He is also there today.


    Lu Yanzhou had met Xie Chengze from the original owner¡¯s memory. He knew that Xie Chengze¡¯s immortal demeanor in this world was fascinating, but when he actually saw him, he was still shocked.


    The jade stone was crystal white, showing a faint white light. Xie Chengze was dressed white with his black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Sitting on it, he looked like an immortal descended into the world.


    That cold and clear appearance was very similar to how Xie Chengze looked when Lu Yanzhou met him for the first time in World Management.


    The only difference is probably that Xie Chengze in this world has extremely light eye color ¡ª his entire pupils is gray-white.


    Noticing that someone was coming, although he couldn¡¯t see, Xie Chengze still turned his head and looked at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Is something wrong?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°Ancestor, I¡¯m here to greet you.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xie Chengze responded lightly, then used his divine sense to ¡®look¡¯ at Lu Yanzhou.


    There is a difference between seeing with divine sense and seeing with eyes. Divine sense doesn¡¯t distinguish colors.


    In Xie Chengze¡¯s view, everyone is similar, but with different shapes. Among those many people with different shapes, Lu Yanzhou is the one he likes the most. The current Lu Yanzhou made his heart beat faster.


    This was an experience he had never had in the past two hundred years of his life. It was novel and fascinating.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t show this emotion on his face, but he seemed quite ready to give something to Lu Yanzhou.


    However, he still restrained himself.


    Before he reached the nascent soul stage, he spent most of his time cultivating hard in the sect. After he reached the nascent soul stage, he was ambushed by a demon cultivator and was seriously injured not long after he reached the nascent soul stage.


    What he possesses is simply incomparable to other nascent soul powerhouse, not even to some golden core cultivators¡¯.


    If he gave out a few more times, he would have nothing to give to Lu Yanzhou anymore in the future.


    ¡°Ancestor, I have something to ask you for advice.¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking, but he couldn¡¯t help but raise the corner of his mouth.


    Although he restrained his divine sense in order to avoid scaring Xie Chengze, he could still feel Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense surrounding him.


    It felt good, he really wanted to rub it.


    ¡°Say it.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Ancestor, I would like to pick some spirit plants in the valley, is it okay?¡± This valley is full of qi, so of course, there are many spirit plants growing there.


    Because the original owner concentrated on cultivation and only knew some common spirit plants, Lu Yanzhou did not recognize most of these spirit plants.


    However, he recognized a few of them and thought they could be used for cooking.


    It¡¯s too embarrassing to stand aside and talk to Xie Chengze like what the original owner did. It¡¯s better to make something for Xie Chengze to eat.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Thank you, ancestor.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled.


    ¡°No need.¡± Xie Chengze added.


    ¡°Ancestor, I¡¯ll come back later.¡± Lu Yanzhou said goodbye to Xie Chengze, then left the pond.


    On the way back, Lu Yanzhou first picked two spirit plants that he recognized.


    The original owner is an ice single spirit root, so the spirit plants he knew were all water type, so it was very suitable for Xie Chengze to eat.


    However, just two kinds were too monotonous. Thus, Lu Yanzhou found several more water-type spirit plants and pinched one of the leaves to taste.


    These spirit plants all taste good and can be cooked.


    Lu Yanzhou was happy and picked a few more varieties.


    After returning to his residence, Lu Yanzhou went directly into the kitchen.


    Although there were kitchen utensils in the kitchen, it was obvious that no one had used them, but even so, there was no dust on them.


    This house has a formation engraved on it to ensure that the house is spotless.


    Lu Yanzhou was quite satisfied with this, so he quickly began to process the ingredients. He also found water-based spirit rice from the original owner¡¯s space bag and cooked it.


    This spirit rice was brought by the original owner¡¯s father for the original owner to eat. It was originally placed in the original owner¡¯s father¡¯s cave. When the original owner moved out, he took it all with him.


    He fried a few vegetables and cooked a pot of spirit rice. The meal was ready but unfortunately there was no meat.


    But there are no animals in the valley. If there is no meat, there will be no meat.


    Lu Yanzhou found a tray, put everything on the tray, then took it to find Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze waited for Lu Yanzhou to leave, then withdrew his divine sense and continued to struggle.


    He still couldn¡¯t figure out why he fell in love with someone who was more than a hundred years younger than him.


    In his current situation, he shouldn¡¯t have feelings, but he did.


    He liked Lu Yanzhou and was reluctant to let Lu Yanzhou leave. He even wanted to lock Lu Yanzhou in this valley for the rest of his life.


    The outside world is very dangerous. Lu Yanzhou staying with him in this valley seems actually quite good?


    Just as Xie Chengze was thinking like this, he noticed that Lu Yanzhou was here again.


    He turned his head and his divine sense spread out.


    Lu Yanzhou was holding some food in his hand. After Lu Yanzhou picked the spirit plants, he went back to cook?


    Spirit plants contain qi, but if they are cooked directly, none of the qi inside will be retained, which is really a pity.


    However, these are just ordinary spirit plants. Lu Yanzhou can waste them as long as he is happy.


    ¡°Ancestor, I made some dishes, do you want to try them?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze answered expressionlessly: ¡°Alright.¡±


    Xie Chengze is a nascent soul cultivator and has no need to eat for a long time.


    In fact, since he came to Qingyun Sect, he has never had such a meal.


    When he was young, he was a beggar. He ate only leftovers every day. As a result, there were many impurities in his body, which affected his cultivation. Therefore, after his master took him back to Qingyun Sect, he no longer fed him any food, only Bigu Pill.


    After not eating for two hundred years, he had long forgotten what food tasted like, but now he wanted to eat it.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately took out a table and two chairs from his storage bag, and asked Xie Chengze expectantly: ¡°Ancestor, I haven¡¯t eaten yet, can I eat with you?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Xie Chengze has no problem with this either.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled happily and sat on the other side of the table.


    ¡°Ancestor, my cooking skills should be pretty good. You should try them all.¡± As soon as Lu Yanzhou sat down, he first gave Xie Chengze some food with the chopstick, and then started to eat his own.


    Xie Chengze ate the food Lu Yanzhou gave him.


    When he used his divine sense to look at Lu Yanzhou before, he had never seen Lu Yanzhou cooking. He thought he would taste something strange.


    Fortunately, he doesn¡¯t care about food. As long as it¡¯s not poisonous and tastes weird, he can eat it.


    As for poisons¡­there are very few poisons in this world that are harmful to nascent soul cultivators.


    However, Xie Chengze was shocked when he actually tasted the dish.


    This dish tastes really good. It¡¯s the best meal he has ever eaten in his life.


    Well, he was a beggar back then, so he never had any good food before.


    But what surprised him the most was not the taste of the food, but the qi contained in the food.


    Why does he feel that the qi in this dish has not decreased at all, but it even feels a little¡­too much?


    ¡°You use the alchemy furnace to cook?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    When the blacksmith refine the alchemy furnace, they will carve a formation into the alchemy furnace.


    The special materials of the alchemy furnace and the formations on it can prevent the qi in the spirit plants from disappearing to use it to make spirit pills.


    In addition, an alchemist will use their soul force in the process of refining the spirit pill, so they could naturally maximize and make the qi stay.


    Not only that, the qi in the spirit plants is the same as the qi in nature. It is very slow for cultivators to absorb it. However, after refining, the qi will be much more stable. Coupled with the medicinal properties of the spirit plant itself, it allows the medicine to work quickly and be used to heal the sick and save people.


    Lu Yanzhou could preserve all the qi in all the ingredients. All Xie Chengze could think of was that he was cooking in an alchemy furnace.


    Is it possible to do this? Should he try it too?


    Xie Chengze had not eaten for two hundred years. Now that he had eaten, he suddenly looked forward to eating more.


    ¡°No, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Yanzhou looked confused.


    Lu Yanzhou knew why Xie Chengze asked this.


    When he was cooking just now, he noticed that the qi in the spirit plants were losing, so he used his divine sense to suppress the qi back. He even grabbed some qi from the surroundings and stuffed it into it.


    The food in front of him was full of qi, almost as good as spirit pills.


    But he couldn¡¯t explain it, so he had to fool him first.


    According to his past experience, Xie Chengze will not get to the bottom of it.


    Xie Chengze indeed didn¡¯t pursue the matter. He didn¡¯t even pursue Lu Yanzhou¡¯s practice of demon skills, let alone the root cause of this kind of thing.


    He ate it slowly, bite by bite, feeling very happy.


    Eating feels very good.


    When he was a child, he was always hungry so his favorite thing was to eat. He still likes it now.


    Lu Yanzhou ate slowly, letting Xie Chengze eat as much as he wanted. In the end, most of the food he cooked ended up in Xie Chengze¡¯s stomach.


    After eating, Xie Chengze took out a jade pendant from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°This is a self-defense tool I made in my early years. It can block three attacks from golden core cultivators. Take it.¡±


    This is the self-defense jade that Xie Chengze gave when the original owner later asked to go down to the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, Xie Chengze gave it to him in advance!


    ¡°Thank you, ancestor.¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled and accepted: ¡°Ancestor, I have accepted a lot of things from you these days. Those things are very precious and I can¡¯t repay you, so I will cook for you every day from now on.¡±


    It¡¯s important to improve his strength but he also can¡¯t give up cultivating his relationship with Xie Chengze!


    It¡¯s best to combine work and rest. He can do both at the same time!


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll come back after I¡¯ve cooked¡­Ancestor, do you eat meat?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Eat.¡± When he was a child, what he was most greedy for was meat.


    So why hasn¡¯t he eaten anything in the past two hundred years?


    Over the years, he has always found life boring. However, at this moment, he is looking forward to the food Lu Yanzhou will serve him later.


    All of Xie Chengze¡¯s cultivation was used to suppress the nascent soul demon cultivator¡¯s qi in his body. He did not use his qi in his daily life.


    He walked to the jade stone where he meditated daily and sat down, then began to look forward to his next meal.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t go to cook for him right away. He left the valley.


    He¡¯s going to collect the debt!


    If he went to collect debts by himself, he might be slapped down again. After Lu Yanzhou left the valley where Xie Chengze lived, he first went to find Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master.


    Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master was actually quite good to the original owner and gave him some advice.


    It¡¯s just that one has to walk the path of cultivation on their own. Most of the cultivators in this world like to stay alone and don¡¯t care about others. In addition, the original owner has refused several times, so people will naturally not stick their hot face on the original owner¡¯s cold ass.


    But even so, Qingyun Sect still protected the original owner. If not for this, Wei Yuzheng would not be scared to kill the original owner in the secret realm.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s current strength is only at Qi Refining sixth level, but it is enough for him to travel.


    After a while, he came to the top of the mountain where the sect master lived, then asked the people guarding the formation that he wanted to see the sect master.


    The original owner used to be a leader among the younger generation of Qingyun Sect, so everyone basically knew him.


    The guard looked at Lu Yanzhou sympathetically then sent a message to the sect master.


    Most people in Qingyun Sect have a sympathetic attitude towards the original owner. There are very few people who would praise someone who is superior and disdain someone who is inferior. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the less likely they are to do this.


    People with bad character cannot achieve high cultivation at all.


    It¡¯s a pity that the original owner has a bad character. Even if others haven¡¯t done anything, he always suspects that others are talking about him.


    Lu Yanzhou waited for a while, then one of the sect master¡¯s disciples came to pick him up riding a crane.


    Qingyun Sect ranks seniority according to cultivation level. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation is not considered to be in Qingyun Sect¡¯s ranking. However, the sect master¡¯s disciple, who is a later stage foundation establishment, still called Lu Yanzhou ¡®junior brother L¡¯ and politely led Lu Yanzhou up the mountain.


    Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master is a female cultivator in the late golden core stage. She has an earth spirit root, and she has no hope advancing to the nascent soul stage. She doesn¡¯t have many years left, so she is very peaceful.


    Even though her face is as young as a young girl, her temperament gives people the impression that she is a kind and gentle old lady.


    A monastic old lady like the sect master usually doesn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s affairs, but if someone asks for help, she won¡¯t ignore it too.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw her, his eyes turned red and he saluted again: ¡°Sect master, I need your help with something.¡±


    ¡°Tell me.¡± The sect master said in a gentle tone.


    Lu Yanzhou told her that his father had given Liu Ruoxian a lot of resources and asked Liu Ruoxian to be his dao companion.


    ¡°The spiritual stones, spirit pills, and magic weapons my father gave her at that time are all recorded here. My father also found some good things to help her improve her physical condition. There is no record of this, but I remember them all.¡± Lu Yanzhou slowly took out a long list.


    The original owner knew about the gift given by the original owner¡¯s father. At that time, the original owner¡¯s father sent the gift along with a gift list, which the original owner also read before.


    However, Lu Yanzhou no longer had the gift list in his hand. The gift list in front of him was copied by Lu Yanzhou based on that gift list.


    Relying on his strong soul force, he copied the gift list exactly like the one sent by the original owner¡¯s father.


    As for the other items given by the original owner¡¯s father, Lu Yanzhou wrote a list with the original owner¡¯s handwriting.


    The original owner had been fed all kinds of good things by his father since he was a child. In addition, he had no shortage of anything, so he had no idea about various cultivation resources. After Liu Ruoxian regretted this marriage, he did not even think of getting the things back.


    However, the sect master was in charge of a sect. When she saw this list, she knew that the items on it were very precious and would be of great use to a foundation establishment cultivator.


    Liu Ruoxian actually took so many things from the Lu family?


    Lu Yanzhou added: ¡°My father has great expectations for me. He wanted me to cultivate to the nascent soul stage. He would never allow me to plunder for nurture. He just wanted Liu Ruoxian and me to dual cultivate. As a result, Liu Ruoxian turned against me when my father died. She doesn¡¯t recognize anything, and even falsely accuses my father, saying that my father forced her to be my supplement, which is really too much.¡±


    ¡°Is there such a thing?¡± The sect master was surprised. She didn¡¯t know that there was a rumor in the sect that the original owner¡¯s father bullied others and forced Liu Ruoxian to be the original owner¡¯s supplement.


    No smart people will believe this, so naturally no one told her.


    She always thought that it was Liu Ruoxian who fell in love with someone else and the original owner kept pestering her.


    It was wrong for Liu Ruoxian to go back on her word midway, but in her opinion, it was meaningless for the original owner to keep pestering her too, so it was better to part ways.


    She had previously advised Lu Yanzhou to be more open-minded, thinking that instead of focusing his energy on this, he might as well use it to improve himself.


    ¡°Sect master, you can send someone to investigate!¡± Lu Yanzhou said, ¡°After Liu Ruoxian turned back, Wei Yuzheng still verbally provoked me. My father had just passed away at that time, and I was already upset. Naturally, I couldn¡¯t bear the provocation, so I talked to him and we had a duel, but I had no fighting experience, so I lost to him.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou calmly told the sect master the original owner¡¯s experience.


    He even talked about what happened in the secret realm.


    At this time, the original owner did not know the name of the female cultivator who had his spirit root transplanted, but he had the original owner¡¯s later memories and knew who the woman was: ¡°Sect master, what happened in the secret realm was not my imagination. I even know who the cultivator who got my spirit root is. If the sect master is willing to believe me, you can go investigate it¡­Sect master, there is something weird about Wei Yuzheng.¡±


    When the original owner said hysterically that Wei Yuzheng dug up his spirit root, he also said some things he saw in the illusion without even realizing it.


    Therefore, no one believed him at the time, not even the sect master, thinking that he had taken the illusion as reality.


    However, when Lu Yanzhou said it calmly, the sect master couldn¡¯t help but believe him.


    Lu Yanzhou said the female cultivator¡¯s name and told the sect master that his storage bag was also robbed at that time. Wei Yuzheng and the female cultivator might take his things for use.


    The sect master said: ¡°I understand everything you said, I will go and verify it. You said you want me to help with something, do you want to get back what your father gave Liu Ruoxian?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Yes. Sect master, I have no evidence against Wei Yuzheng harming me so I can¡¯t do anything to him. Now I just want to get back what my father gave Liu Ruoxian.¡±


    Wei Yuzheng is cultivating very fast and has already reached the foundation establishment intermediate stage.


    Because of this, Qingyun Sect now pays special attention to him and focuses on training him.


    Wei Yuzheng also became a disciple of a top-notch golden core cultivator from Qingyun Sect.


    Lu Yanzhou had no evidence, so there was nothing he could do against him. He could only plant a thorn in the sect master¡¯s heart first.


    ¡°I will help you.¡± Said the sect master,


    ¡°Thank you very much, sect master!¡± Lu Yanzhou looked at the sect master, ¡°Sect master, can you do it now? I made a promise to the ancestor so I have to go back soon.¡±


    The sect master was surprised. She glanced at Lu Yanzhou and agreed: ¡°Okay.¡±


    In fact, after learning that Lu Yanzhou asked to see her, what the sect master wanted to ask most about was things related to Xie Chengze.


    The sect master¡¯s life span is approaching, which means that she is almost 600 years old!


    How about Xie Chengze? Only two hundred years old!


    The sect master watched Xie Chengze grow up. Although she now calls Xie Chengze ancestor, she actually regards Xie Chengze as a junior and is very concerned about Xie Chengze¡¯s life.


    When she took Lu Yanzhou to find Liu Ruoxian, the sect master asked: ¡°How is ancestor doing lately?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s doing fine.¡±


    The sect master added: ¡°Ancestor likes you, so you should talk to him more.¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    The sect master was extremely fast. While they were speaking, the two of them had already arrived at Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master¡¯s residence.


    As the sect master, it was naturally impossible for her to go directly to Liu Ruoxian, so she had to go to Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master.


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master is also a golden core cultivator, a female cultivator like the sect master. She has no sense of presence in Qingyun Sect because she is too homely and doesn¡¯t care about things.


    One of the well-known things about this female cultivator is that before she went into seclusion, she was forced to take in a disciple. After she came out of seclusion, she did not recognize the disciple. When the disciple took the initiative to recognize her, she was surprised: ¡°You are so old?¡±


    By coincidence, the disciple who was thrust onto her was Liu Ruoxian.


    It¡¯s just that although she doesn¡¯t like to be a master, she has already accepted a disciple, so she will not ignore her since she already came. She is still good to Liu Ruoxian and gives a lot of various resources.


    However, Liu Ruoxian didn¡¯t see her very often. If she encountered problems while cultivating, she could only ask others.


    The original owner¡¯s father had a good temper and was convinced that he would not be able to reach the nascent soul stage, so he had given Liu Ruoxian lots of guidance in the past years.


    Lu Yanzhou followed the sect master and saw the female cultivator, then found that she was confused: ¡°What does the sect master want from me?¡±


    This girl is too homely. Therefore, many things had happened between the original owner and Liu Ruoxian, but she might¡­know nothing about it.


    Lu Yanzhou even suspected that she might not know him. After all, the original owner had never met her, and the original owner¡¯s father had no friendship with her. Most people only gossip and whatnot, let alone talk to her.


    Sure enough, after knowing his identity, the female cultivator was a little surprised: ¡°I heard about Senior Brother Lu¡¯s death not long ago, but I didn¡¯t know that Senior Brother Lu had such a big son.¡±

 CH 222

    The sect master knew a lot about this female cultivator, who didn¡¯t listen to anything outside the window. Therefore, she didn¡¯t dwell on the fact that she did not know Lu Yanzhou and directly stated the reason for their visit ¡ª she came on behalf of Lu Yanzhou to ask for his stuff back.


    After hearing that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father gave Liu Ruoxian a lot of things and asked Liu Ruoxian to become Lu Yanzhou¡¯s dao companion but then Liu Ruoxian turn her back on it, this female cultivator was quite disturbed and stammered that she could help Liu Ruoxian pay off the debt.


    However, after the sect master said that Liu Ruoxian had in turn framed the original owner¡¯s father, this female cultivator had no face to face Lu Yanzhou and asked the sect master: ¡°Senior sister, what should we do now?¡±


    The sect master knew her well enough to understand her, so she directly said: ¡°Call Liu Ruoxian back, as well as the registered disciples and servants under you, then ask Liu Ruoxian to return all the things to Lu Yanzhou. In addition, give an estimated price in spirit stones to things that were used, and then apologize to Lu Yanzhou. As for the rest¡­This kind of disciple shouldn¡¯t stay, expel her.¡±


    The sect master asked the female cultivator to call all the disciples and servants to help clarify for Lu Yanzhou. As for asking this female cultivator to expel Liu Ruoxian under her tutelage¡­


    After listening to Lu Yanzhou, the sect master immediately sent someone to find out about the situation in the sect. She had already received the information.


    There are actually many people spreading rumors that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father forced Liu Ruoxian to be Lu Yanzhou¡¯s plundering target!


    It was Wei Yuzheng who first said this, but for Wei Yuzheng to say this, Liu Ruoxian must have said something first, not to mention that Liu Ruoxian did not clarify it.


    Liu Ruoxian regretted being the original owner¡¯s dao companion, which was nothing in the sect master¡¯s eyes. Even if they already become dao companions, they can separate if they aren¡¯t suitable, not to mention that they aren¡¯t dao companions yet.


    However, Liu Ruoxian slandered Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father, a recently deceased golden core cultivator, which is just too much!


    Especially since this golden core cultivator actually gave Liu Ruoxian a lot of help.


    Qingyun Sect does not need inner disciples like Liu Ruoxian!


    Hearing the sect master¡¯s words, Lu Yanzhou glanced at her in surprise ¡ª he did not expect that the sect master would directly ask the female cultivator to expel Liu Ruoxian.


    In Qingyun Sect, every golden core cultivator has a mountain peak and they will have to accept some disciples. The disciples accepted by the golden core cultivators are all inner disciples of Qingyun Sect, which would be cultivated by Qingyun Sect with priority.


    Even if the masters of these disciples didn¡¯t teach the disciples or provide the disciples with resources, the inner disciples will still receive some spiritual stones and pills from the sect every month. They can also freely enter and exit the sect¡¯s library.


    Even in the location which they cultivate, the qi is extremely abundant.


    Once Liu Ruoxian is expelled, all of this will be gone!


    ¡°Okay.¡± The female cultivator immediately agreed, then sent out several messages. After a while, she took out a few bottles of spirit pills and gave it to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Xiao Lu, these are the spirit pills I refined to replenish qi. Well, I¡¯m giving it to you as a meeting gift.¡±


    After saying that, the female cultivator looked at Lu Yanzhou sheepishly.


    This female cultivator doesn¡¯t like to talk with others and doesn¡¯t care about the world outside. She didn¡¯t even know Lu Yanzhou existed. However, Lu Yanzhou knew about her.


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master specializes in refining spirit pills, and the spirit pills she refines are all good quality!


    Even if he couldn¡¯t use it, he could still sell it for spirit stones!


    ¡°Thank you, zhenren.¡± Lu Yanzhou thanked her and accepted it.


    The female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± You are a golden core cultivator, you really don¡¯t need to be so anxious!


    Most cultivators focus on themselves and are not good with words, and this female cultivator is especially so.


    She was silent after that. However, the sect master still said a few more words with Lu Yanzhou, asking about Xie Chengze¡¯s situation.


    Lu Yanzhou could tell that the sect master really cared about Xie Chengze.


    In this case¡­Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Sect master, I cooked for ancestor before, and he liked it very much¡­Can you give me some of the chickens and ducks raised in the sect, I want to raise them in the valley.¡±


    The sect master was stunned: ¡°You can cook?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not difficult.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    The female cultivator also said at this moment: ¡°Cooking is not difficult, it¡¯s much easier than refining alchemy!¡±


    Alright! The sect master said, ¡°I¡¯ll have someone prepare it right now. How many do you want?¡±


    Nascent soul cultivators normally don¡¯t need to eat, but they can eat if they want.


    Xie Chengze endured pain everyday. Since he wanted to eat something, they naturally wanted to fulfill it.


    What¡¯s more, the spirit chickens and ducks raised in the sect were for cultivators in the Qi refining stage, so it¡¯s not worth much.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have twenty of each. We can also find some fish to keep in the pools in the valley. If there are other livestock, we can also have them,¡± the more Lu Yanzhou talks, the more he wanted, ¡°There¡¯s also spirit rice and vegetables seeds, I want some of those as well.¡±


    The sect master was stunned: ¡°You want so many? Do you know how to raise them?¡± The sect master went to the valley several times a year, it¡¯s a place with beautiful scenery.


    But if there were twenty chickens, twenty ducks, and some other livestock¡­


    At that time, the valley was filled with chirping and quacking. The scene is so beautiful that the sect master dare not think about it.


    ¡°I can learn. Sect master, I can¡¯t cultivate now. Since I have nothing to do, I just want to find something to do.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    When the sect master heard what Lu Yanzhou said, her heart softened: ¡°I will ask someone to prepare it for you.¡±


    Having said that, the sect master also found an opportunity to send a message to Xie Chengze, asking Xie Chengze if it was okay to raise chickens and ducks in the valley.


    Xie Chengze, who was waiting for his next meal but Lu Yanzhou ran away: ¡°¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze, who was initially entangled, didn¡¯t pay attention to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s whereabouts. Then when he started to pay attention, Lu Yanzhou had already left the valley.


    He was about to use his divine sense to find Lu Yanzhou when a message from the sect master came.


    So, it turned out that Lu Yanzhou was looking for ingredients for him? Xie Chengze¡¯s mood improved and he looked forward to the next meal more and more.


    His divine sense was also released, looking for Lu Yanzhou in Qingyun Sect.


    Before Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense could find Lu Yanzhou, he first ¡®heard¡¯ Lu Yanzhou¡¯s name.


    The person speaking was a group of female cultivators, led by Liu Ruoxian, who almost became Lu Yanzhou¡¯s dao companion.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t realize that he loved Lu Yanzhou before, so he only felt a little uncomfortable after learning that Lu Yanzhou is going to have a dao companion. After that, his divine sense usually went around Liu Ruoxian.


    However, at this moment, he stopped.


    Liu Ruoxian and her party were rushing to find her master.


    Although Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master didn¡¯t like to meet people or accept disciples, she was very talented. She was only over two hundred years old when she became a golden core cultivator.


    She is now more than four hundred years old. She has accepted five disciples one after another over the past two hundred years. There are also some outer disciples who help manage and clean the mountain where she lives. There are hundreds of people under her tutelage in total.


    Liu Ruoxian was the middle one among the five disciples. After getting the news, she hurried over and happened to meet her two junior sisters and some outer disciples, so they went together.


    The three martial sisters chatted for a while, and then the lively little junior sister asked: ¡°Third senior sister, I heard that Lu Yanzhou went to stay in the back mountain where the old ancestor lives. Is this true?¡±


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s expression stiffened: ¡°It¡¯s true.¡±


    The junior sister was a little unhappy: ¡°Senior sister, Lu Yanzhou is so bad, why does sect master even allow him to live in the back mountain!¡±


    Liu Ruoxian was a little embarrassed when she heard this.


    She knew why her junior sister thought Lu Yanzhou was bad. It was simply because she believed the rumors outside and thought Lu Yanzhou wanted to plunder her qi.


    But that¡¯s not the truth.


    When she was with Wei Yuzheng, she also felt guilty towards Lu Yanzhou, but before she could apologize to Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou went to trouble Wei Yuzheng.


    Then Wei Yuzheng framed Lu Yanzhou and beat him up.


    Wei Yuzheng was better than Lu Yanzhou, which made her feel that her choice was not wrong. However, when Wei Yuzheng framed Lu Yanzhou, it made her more and more uneasy.


    But Wei Yuzheng comforted her, saying that if she didn¡¯t say anything, no one would know that she reneged on her promise¡­So, she did not clarify.


    Sure enough, no one said anything bad about her because after that Lu Yanzhou went to trouble Wei Yuzheng repeatedly, but he was always defeated by Wei Yuzheng¡­Everyone also felt that Lu Yanzhou was indeed unworthy of her.


    She stopped trying to clarify.


    Gradually, she also began to feel that Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father was trying to trick her by asking her to be Lu Yanzhou¡¯s dao companion. After all, Lu Yanzhou was so weak.


    However, even though she thought so, she was still reluctant to speak ill of Lu Yanzhou, especially after Lu Yanzhou became a useless person.


    Liu Ruoxian and Wei Yuzheng were close, so she vaguely knew that Wei Yuzheng planned to attack Lu Yanzhou in the secret realm.


    Lu Yanzhou said that Wei Yuzheng dug up his spirit root, this may not happen. However, for Lu Yanzhou to fall into the illusion, Wei Yuzheng may have done something.


    Liu Ruoxian said vaguely: ¡°Sect master of course has her own plan.¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t be deceived by Lu Yanzhou, ancestor! That Lu Yanzhou is obviously worthless and can only use his face to deceive others.¡± The younger junior sister grunted in anger.


    This little junior sister is in the qi refining stage and is a few years younger than Lu Yanzhou. She used to admire Lu Yanzhou as her senior brother, but then Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cultivation stagnated. After losing his father, he was also suppressed and beaten by Wei Yuzheng. Her little admiration of Lu Yanhou disappeared without a trace, and instead, she was filled with more anger of being decieved.


    Liu Ruoxian only hummed and didn¡¯t speak. Another martial sister suddenly spoke up: ¡°Little junior sister, senior brother Lu is not as bad as what people say outside.¡±


    ¡°Fourth senior sister, it¡¯s already like this and you still speak for Lu Yanzhou!¡± The youngest junior sister is very dissatisfied.


    The fourth senior sister was usually quiet, so when she saw the younger junior sister acting like this, she lowered her head and stopped talking.


    The younger junior sister turned to Liu Ruoxian: ¡°Third senior sister, it¡¯s a good thing you didn¡¯t become dao companion with Lu Yanzhou, otherwise he would definitely drag you down with this kind of behavior!¡±


    The servants also spoke one after another, all feeling the same way.


    When Liu Ruoxian heard what they said, she slowly relaxed and no longer felt that she was wrong.


    While they were talking, everyone had already reached the top of the mountain.


    Lu Yanzhou and the sect master were already waiting at the top of the mountain. The female cultivator¡¯s first two disciples had also arrived, waiting for Liu Ruoxian and the others.


    Liu Ruoxian and others were shocked when they saw Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou glanced at Liu Ruoxian, then stopped looking ¡ª he felt Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense.


    Xie Chengze is looking at him!


    Lu Yanzhou stood up straight with a stoic expression, intending to behave well, intending to draw a clear line between him and Liu Ruoxian.


    Liu Ruoxian and others bowed nervously, then heard the sect master ask: ¡°Are everyone here?¡±


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s senior sister said: ¡°replying to sect master, master¡¯s disciples and everyone in the peak has already arrived.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± the sect master nodded, then looked at Liu Ruoxian, ¡°Liu Ruoxian, do you know your crime?¡±


    When the sect master asked the question, she released the pressure of a golden core cultivator towards Liu Ruoxian. Liu Ruoxian couldn¡¯t bear it and directly knelt down on the ground.


    Before Liu Ruoxian could speak, her junior sister asked anxiously: ¡°Sect master, what mistake did third senior sister make?¡±


    The sect master glanced at the little junior sister lightly, then looked at Liu Ruoxian: ¡°Liu Ruoxian, you, a foundation establishment cultivator, wantonly slandered a golden core cultivator. Today I¡¯ll make a decision on behalf of your master and expel you.¡±


    The little junior sister exclaimed: ¡°Sect master!¡±


    Liu Ruoxian also looked at her master in shock: ¡°Master!¡±


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master didn¡¯t say anything. The sect master released another wave of pressure and pushed Liu Ruoxian and her little junior sister down together: ¡°Liu Ruoxian, you accepted Lu Zhenren¡¯s gift and agreed to become Lu Yanzhou¡¯s dao companion. When Lu Zhenren passed away, you renegade and immediately framed Lu Zhenren¡­Do you know your crime now?¡±


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s face turned pale, her body trembled.


    On the other hand, her junior sister was still very brave: ¡°Sect master, Lu Zhenren asked my third senior sister to be Lu Yanzhou¡¯s plundering target, but my third senior sister was unwilling to do so!¡±


    ¡°Ridiculous. Lu Yanzhou, a foundation establishment cultivator, is only thirty years old, why would he plunder others?¡± The sect master became even more angry when she heard this.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou¡¯s talent is not good¡­¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou has a single ice spirit root. He is only one step away from the heavenly spirit root. If his talent is not good, what about you?¡± The sect master looked at the little junior sister: ¡°Remember that you are a dual spirit root, not to mention that Lu Yanzhou had long since built his foundation at your age.¡±


    The junior sister, who was only in the middle stage of qi refining, turned pale.


    The leader added: ¡°The sect has always focused on cultivating Lu Yanzhou. With his aptitude, as long as he does not perish, he will at least become a golden core cultivator. Why should he take the method of plundering others? If he were to really plunder anyone, he would not find fellow disciples.¡± Speaking of this, the sect master also felt a little uncomfortable. If she had known that Lu Yanzhou would lose his spirit root in the secret realm, she would definitely not let Lu Yanzhou go to that secret realm.


    The little junior sister was stunned.


    Liu Ruoxian, however, was already in tears: ¡°Sect master, I am guilty.¡±


    The junior sister looked at Liu Ruoxian in disbelief.


    The sect master said: ¡°Since you know your guilt, you should take out the gift that Lu Zhenren gave you and return it to Lu Yanzhou.¡±


    Liu Ruoxian¡¯s lips trembled.


    Before Liu Ruoxian could say anything, Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I have the list here.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou took the list and came to Liu Ruoxian: ¡°Liu Ruoxian, this is something my father gave you. Please return it.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou unfolded the two lists generously.


    The junior sisters around Liu Ruoxian all saw the contents on the list. The outer disciples behind Liu Ruoxian were all cultivators, so they also saw it very clearly.


    After the sect master told them about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation, they already felt that the matter of his plundering wasn¡¯t real. Now that Lu Yanzhou came out with these two lists¡­


    Everyone¡¯s expression changes when they look at Liu Ruoxian.


    The items on this list are not too valuable for Lu Yanzhou, who has a golden core father who has lived for more than five hundred years and has tried his best to train him, but for the rest of Qingyun Sect¡­


    Anyway, even Liu Ruoxian¡¯s senior sister in the late stage of foundation establishment couldn¡¯t help but feel excited when she saw so many good things.


    Liu Ruoxian started crying again as everyone stared at her like this.


    She is very beautiful. There are so many female cultivators present but she is the most outstanding one. Now that she was crying, she looked even more lovely and pitiful.


    However, Lu Yanzhou was unmoved: ¡°Liu Ruoxian, return the things.¡±


    Being stared at by a group of people, Liu Ruoxian had no choice but to open the storage bag and take out the magic weapons and other things.


    She has already used many of the things Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father gave her. Therefore, she can only compensate them in equal value. However, her own savings are not enough to compensate for it.


    Liu Ruoxian could only borrow from the martial sisters around her.


    Although Liu Ruoxian has been expelled, everyone still has some affection for her. Except for the little junior sister who hates Liu Ruoxian now and refuses to borrow spirit stones on the excuse that she has no savings, the other three more or less took out some. She finally came up with enough to compensate Lu Yanzhou.


    After Lu Yanzhou took the things, the sect master added: ¡°Liu Ruoxian, apologize to Lu Yanzhou, and you will have nothing to do with each other from now on.¡±


    Liu Ruoxian apologized with tears in her eyes.


    After Liu Ruoxian apologized, the sect master took Lu Yanzhou away.


    It¡¯s getting dark, it¡¯s time to go back.


    As soon as Lu Yanzhou and the sect master left, Liu Ruoxian¡¯s master also immediately left, leaving only Liu Ruoxian and her martial sisters, and a hundred or so outer disciples.


    ¡°I have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± The little junior sister turned around and left. She felt that she had been deceived by Lu Yanzhou before, so she didn¡¯t like Lu Yanzhou, so now she naturally doesn¡¯t like Liu Ruoxian either.


    Seeing this, the others also left one after another. Only the eldest senior sister stayed and said to Liu Ruoxian: ¡°Junior sister Liu, go pack your things and leave now.¡±


    She used to call Liu Ruoxian ¡®third junior sister¡¯, but now she only called her ¡®junior sister Liu¡¯.


    Liu Ruoxian almost couldn¡¯t walk and felt extremely regretful.


    If she helped clarify Wei Yuzheng¡¯s nonsense, she wouldn¡¯t be expelled from the division¡­


    Liu Ruoxian was frightened and didn¡¯t know what to do. After thinking about it, she decided to go find Wei Yuzheng.


    She didn¡¯t know that at this time, Wei Yuzheng¡¯s master was admonishing Wei Yuzheng: ¡°That Liu Ruoxian betrayed the trust, broke the promise as soon as Old Lu died, and even framed Old Lu. Since you and her dao companion ceremony hasn¡¯t been held yet, why don¡¯t you simply don¡¯t do it, and stay away from her in the future.¡±


    When Wei Yuzheng and Liu Ruoxian were together, he was just an outer disciple, but after he defeated Lu Yanzhou, he became famous and was accepted by a golden core cultivator in Qingyun Sect.


    Wei Yuzheng¡¯s talent is actually not very good. He has dual spirit root but his cultivation speed wasn¡¯t that slow, so his master still values ??him quite a bit.


    When the sect master came forward on behalf of Lu Yanzhou, she informed the other golden core cultivators about what Liu Ruoxian had done, so Wei Yuzheng¡¯s master also found out about it. After knowing it, he went directly to Wei Yuzheng and warned him, lest Wei Yuzheng be deceived by Liu Ruoxian.


    Little did he know that Wei Yuzheng complied obediently on the surface, but was extremely angry in his heart.


    He had never taken Lu Yanzhou seriously, so he never expected to be put on the spot by Lu Yanzhou.


    Now that Liu Ruoxian¡¯s reputation was bad, he was also implicated. However, he couldn¡¯t ignore Liu Ruoxian, otherwise who knew what Liu Ruoxian would do when she went crazy?


    His current strength is too low, no accidents must occur¡­As for the future¡­give him some time to regain his strength. Not to mention Lu Yanzhou, even the ancestor of the Qingyun Sect, is only worth replenishing his body.


    Thinking of this, Wei Yuzheng felt that his luck was not good. He didn¡¯t choose a great body when taking over.


    If he had taken Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body, why would he be in such trouble now?


    At this time, he may have already begun to make his breakthrough to the golden core stage!


    Wei Yuzheng was right, Liu Ruoxian¡¯s reputation was ruined.


    The original owner¡¯s father¡¯s vision is very high. Liu Ruoxian was not the most accomplished among the female cultivators of Qingyun Sect and Lu Yanzhou¡¯s contemporaries, but she was the most beautiful among these female cultivators. Many people originally helped her crusade against Lu Yanzhou.


    Now thinking back on it¡­


    Although Lu Yanzhou lost to Wei Yuzheng, he was also a genius before. Such a genius does not need to plunder others!


    Even if Lu Yanzhou¡¯s cultivation level has not improved for a long time, he is still only thirty years old. When Liu Ruoxian and Wei Yuzheng were thirty years old, they were still in the qi refining stage!


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou lost to Wei Yuzheng because of his lack of experience. As you all know, he had never left Qingyun Sect before that.¡±


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou is not the only one Wei Yuzheng defeated. Weren¡¯t there several other famous senior brothers who lost to Wei Yuzheng?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that Lu Yanzhou is weak, it¡¯s just that Wei Yuzheng is too strong.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, there is no need for Lu Yanzhou to plunder anyone.¡±


    ¡°Liu Ruoxian went too far in framing Master Lu like this.¡±


    ¡°I heard that she also took a lot of things from Master Lu.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention taking things from Lu Zhenren, do you guys still remember? In the past, Liu Ruoxian often asked Lu Zhenren for advice on cultivation from time to time.¡±


    ¡°Liu Ruoxian really repays kindness with enmity.¡±


    ¡°No wonder she was expelled from the division.¡±


    ¡­


    Lu Yanzhou no longer has his spirit root. The crowd was still watching his fall from grace some time ago, so it¡¯s impossible for the sect master to oppress Liu Ruoxian for his sake.


    In that case, Liu Ruoxian was indeed at fault!


    With that said, everyone sympathized with Lu Yanzhou more and more. After all, Lu Yanzhou had lost his spirit root and could no longer cultivate.


    Although he went to the place where the ancestor lived behind the mountain, he probably worked as a handyman, doing odd jobs for the ancestor and taking care of his old age there.


    He¡¯s so miserable!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what was happening outside. At this moment, he drove a group of chickens and ducks into Xie Chengze¡¯s valley.


    The quiet valley under the setting sun suddenly became lively.


    Xie Chengze withdrew his divine senses and was in deep thought again.


    When he realized that Lu Yanzhou went out and didn¡¯t go to find food for him, he was a little unhappy. However, later when he learned that Lu Yanzhou had been bullied, he couldn¡¯t help but feel sad.


    He was also a little depressed ¡ª Lu Yanzhou was wronged, and he went to see the sect master instead of him.


    Besides, Lu Yanzhou has cultivated demon skill but is still running around, is he not afraid of being discovered?


    Well, although Lu Yanzhou cultivated it, he didn¡¯t use it on others, so others wouldn¡¯t find out.


    As for Lu Yanzhou¡¯s previous behavior¡­it was him who Lu Yanzhou wanted to take advantage of!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t even know what to say about Lu Yanzhou, he¡¯s too ambitious?


    But, despite all this, he actually liked Lu Yanzhou quite a bit.


    While he was deep in thought, Xie Chengze suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.


    ¡°Master ancestor, I made roast duck for you, do you want to try it?¡± Lu Yanzhou came over with a roast duck and asked Xie Chengze with a smile.


    Earlier, Xie Chengze had said something about cooking with an alchemy furnace¡­He tried it today!


    Among the things his father gave Liu Ruoxian was an alchemy furnace. Considering that Liu Ruoxian had a water spirit root, the alchemy furnace was also engraved with a fire element formation!


    Lu Yanzhou used this alchemy furnace to roast duck and found it very useful! It was just that the firepower provided by that formation was a bit fierce so his divine sense was required to control it.


    He had just used his divine sense to control the roast duck in the alchemy furnace while also cooking two vegetable dishes, so now he brought them over together.


    Although it was a bit late, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t sleep at night!


    With this in mind, Lu Yanzhou even sliced ??roast duck for Xie Chengze on the spot.


    Unfortunately, time was tight so he didn¡¯t prepare any dipping sauce¡­But even so, the roast duck still tasted very good.


    Xie Chengze ate half of it in one setting.


    ¡°Master ancestor, I want to plant something in the valley, is that okay? And in the pond, can I raise fish?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Do whatever you want.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    Lu Yanzhou has changed a lot today. Maybe his thoughts clear up so he no longer plans to practice demon skills, but is ready to live a good life in this valley.


    If so¡­Xie Chengze took out a fruit from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Eating this fruit can relieve pain. If you are feeling unwell, you should eat it.¡±


    Xie Chengze is in pain all the time, and on some special days, the pain will be excruciating.


    This fruit was specially found by the sect master to give him pain relief.


    Lu Yanzhou lost his spirit root and sometimes felt severe pain all over his body¡­thus, he was going to give it to Lu Yanzhou.

 CH 223

    T/N: I think I will keep ancestor/master ancestor as Shizu. Sounds better to me.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw the fruit, he knew it was definitely not a mortal thing.


    Although Xie Chengze in this world had been a beggar when he was young, after coming to the sect, he devoted himself to cultivation and had little contact with others. He was indeed a bit naive.


    The original owner had bad intentions towards Xie Chengze, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t even notice it. Instead, he took care of the original owner and gave him things several times.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed secretly, and then said: ¡°Shizu, I am not feeling uncomfortable, so I don¡¯t need this fruit.¡±


    Xie Chengze had seen Lu Yanzhou suffering at night, so he was very surprised that Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t accept his things at this moment.


    One must know that Lu Yanzhou accepted the things he had given Lu Yanzhou without hesitation before, and he even seemed like¡­he wished he would give more.


    Has Lu Yanzhou changed now, or is he just better at disguising?


    Lu Yanzhou then changed the subject and asked, ¡°Shizu, what do you like to eat? I¡¯ll cook it for you tomorrow.¡±


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°I¡¯m not picky about food.¡±


    ¡°Shizu, what have you eaten before?¡± Lu Yanzhou smiled and talked with Xie Chengze to deepen their relationship.


    Xie Chengze could see Lu Yanzhou¡¯s smile with his divine sense. His heart was tumbling: ¡°I didn¡¯t eat much when I was young. When I entered Qingyun Sect, I have been taking bigu pills.¡±


    ¡°Have you ever eaten spirit fruit, shizu?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ve eaten it several times. It¡¯s always the ones with strong spiritual energy.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou felt that Xie Chengze had probably never eaten anything delicious in his life. He will definitely cook more delicious food for Xie Chengze.


    He asked about food, and then asked about Xie Chengze¡¯s cultivation, and finally asked Xie Chengze how to make pills.


    He was looking for a topic to chat with Xie Chengze, and also to learn something along the way.


    Lu Yanzhou has no spirit root, so there is no point in learning alchemy, but since Lu Yanzhou has asked¡­


    Xie Chengze not only said everything he could, he also took out a few jade slips and gave them to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°In these jade slips, there are many pill formulas and alchemy techniques burned into them. You can take a look.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Shizu!¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    As the two talk, it was dawn before they knew it.


    Cultivation doesn¡¯t need the sun or moon, so there¡¯s no need to sleep too, which is quite good.


    Lu Yanzhou reluctantly said goodbye: ¡°Shizu, I¡¯ll make you something to eat.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze nodded slightly and continued to sit cross-legged on the rock, motionless as a mountain.


    He always talked little, but this time he chatted with Lu Yanzhou all night..Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    After Lu Yanzhou returned to his residence, he first fed the chickens and ducks he brought back yesterday, and then started cooking. He also took a few pills given to him by Liu Ruoxian¡¯s former master yesterday.


    The pills replenished spiritual qi, which was suitable for cultivation with water attributes. As soon as he took it, he felt a burst of spiritual qi exploding in his body.


    The spiritual qi in the pill is easier to absorb, but since he has no spirit root, the spiritual qi is not very obedient¡­


    As usual, Lu Yanzhou still ¡®beats¡¯ the spiritual qi with his divine sense.


    Those spiritual qi stay obediently in his body.


    Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou took a few more pills.


    Cultivators cannot always rely on taking pills to improve their cultivation. This is because the spiritual qi gained from taking pills is not as obedient and useful as the qi obtained through slow cultivation, which will make their cultivation less stable.


    However, he has a unique way of making spiritual qi obey, so it doesn¡¯t matter.


    Lu Yanzhou ate half of the pill given by Liu Ruoxian¡¯s former master in one go. He reached the early stage of foundation establishment.


    His current cultivation level is the same as the original owner before.


    This pill is really useful. What a golden core cultivator took out is indeed not an ordinary product.


    Of course, the most important thing is that his divine sense is so awesome and his cultivation method is so unique.


    One must know that it¡¯s impossible for ordinary people to absorb all the spiritual qi inside the pill. They can only absorb a part of it.


    Why do cultivators practice dual cultivation? Sometimes it was just for the sake of two people being together, they can absorb more qi and so on.


    If he used up the remaining pills and added the spirit stones Liu Ruoxian compensated him¡­Lu Yanzhou figured he should be able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation establishment.


    Of course he can¡¯t do that now.


    His divine sense was very strong, so he absorbed spiritual qi very quickly, but his body couldn¡¯t bear it. At this moment, his body felt a little uncomfortable so his divine sense was also exhausted.


    Therefore¡­let¡¯s cultivate again tomorrow!


    Lu Yanzhou used his divine sense to suppress his cultivation, then went to find Xie Chengze with the prepared meal.


    He didn¡¯t want to hide it from Xie Chengze, but he couldn¡¯t explain his cultivation growth.


    Let¡¯s develop a good relationship with Xie Chengze first, and then tell Xie Chengze!


    When Lu Yanzhou found Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze was sitting on a stone and looking into the distance.


    The Xie Chengze in those previous worlds might have fallen in love with him quickly because of a bad life and the sense of familiarity with him, but the Xie Chengze in this world¡­probably wouldn¡¯t be the same right?


    After all, Shizu had a cold temperament and had lived for more than two hundred years!


    However, he is not afraid. He is best at getting close to Xie Chengze!


    At first, he called Xie Chengze ¡®you¡¯, but now he could talk to Xie Chengze more casually.


    ¡°Shizu, I¡¯ve stewed chicken soup. Try it.¡± Lu Yanzhou put the alchemy furnace with chicken stewed in it on the table.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± He suspect before Lu Yanzhou must have used the alchemy furnace to cook.


    He probably also used a special cooking method¡­


    The chicken soup was very delicious. After he drank the hot, spiritually powerful chicken soup, the pain in his body seemed to lessen.


    ¡°Shizu, you have something on your lips.¡± Lu Yanzhou reached out and wiped the corner of Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth.


    In fact, there was nothing dirty at the corner of Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth. It was because Xie Chengze looked so cute when he was eating seriously that he couldn¡¯t help but want to get close to him.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart trembled the moment Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand touched his.


    Is Lu Yanzhou teasing him?


    The methods used were better than before, but still clumsy.


    But he didn¡¯t feel disgusted at all, and he even seemed to like it.


    Xie Chengze felt sick again.


    He was also sure of one thing ¡ª Lu Yanzhou was still thinking of seducing him.


    Does he¡­want to plunder him?


    Xie Chengze made a gesture of ¡®looking at¡¯ Lu Yanzhou and continued eating.


    Lu Yanzhou simply moved the stool next to Xie Chengze, and then asked Xie Chengze: ¡°Shizu, my father said that you were injured, how did you get injured?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou knew that Xie Chengze was injured. The original owner¡¯s father mentioned it. Later when the demon cultivator and the original owner went to find Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze also couldn¡¯t take action.


    However, he didn¡¯t know exactly what caused Xie Chengze¡¯s injury.


    Only by knowing the condition of Xie Chengze¡¯s injury can we help Xie Chengze with treatment. Lu Yanzhou wanted to find out.


    ¡°I just suffered a minor injury while fighting, it¡¯s not a problem.¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t plan to say more.


    Lu Yanzhou could only give up and find some other questions to ask Xie Chengze.


    He asked, and Xie Chengze answered seriously, exactly the same as before.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes curved up seeing Xie Chengze like this.


    Xie Chengze suddenly wanted to touch Lu Yanzhou.


    He didn¡¯t use his hands after all, but his divine sense enveloped Lu Yanzhou.


    With Lu Yanzhou¡¯s strength, he won¡¯t feel his divine sense¡­that¡¯s good.


    Thinking so, Xie Chengze poked Lu Yanzhou¡¯s face with his divine sense.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled even happier.


    Unfortunately, before Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze could continue chatting, he received a transmission ¡ª the sect master sent someone to deliver something to him!


    Lu Yanzhou came to the entrance of the valley and received a large number of things.


    There are fish fry, small rabbits, small fragrant pigs, and various spirit plant seeds.


    Lu Yanzhou brought them back to the valley, fenced a place to raise rabbits and piglets, made a few simple farm tools, then started to reclaim the fields.


    As he did this, he could feel Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense lingering around him.


    So clingy!


    Lu Yanzhou pretended to be hot from work and took off his shirt, exposing his upper body.


    Cultivators tend to have perfect figures, and the original owner¡¯s figure was quite good, so he didn¡¯t even need to exercise!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t mind being looked at by Xie Chengze.


    Feeling Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense covering his body vaguely, he worked more vigorously!


    Lu Yanzhou hummed and hawed to cleared up a large area of ??land, sowed the seeds, and came to Xie Chengze: ¡°Shizu, can I take a bath in the pool?¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t shy away: ¡°Yes¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t make a move to ¡®look¡¯ at him, but his divine sense has always been stuck to him!


    Lu Yanzhou dove into the water and swam happily in the water.


    Xie Chengze waited for Lu Yanzhou to start taking a bath before he suddenly remembered that although Lu Yanzhou had done farm work, he was not dirty. After all, his clothes had formations that could keep out dust.


    If that¡¯s the case, why was he taking a bath?


    And he deliberately took a bath in front of him too!


    Wait, thinking about it¡­Lu Yanzhou doesn¡¯t need to take off his clothes at all. He is still a cultivator now, so he won¡¯t get hot even with his clothes on!


    Xie Chengze¡¯s face was expressionless, and he kind of wanted to take back his divine sense.


    But taking it back seemed guilty, not to mention that Lu Yanzhou won¡¯t discover it.


    Moreover¡­Lu Yanzhou tried to seduce him, so he had to watch over Lu Yanzhou more.


    After Lu Yanzhou took a bath, he went back to change clothes with a smile.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t use his divine sense to ¡®look¡¯ at him much in the past few days, but today¡­Xie Chengze didn¡¯t even leave when he was changing clothes!


    He just seemed to be afraid of getting close to him.


    Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry to get dressed. He walked a few steps to where Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense was, then he lay on the bed and sighed: ¡°Shizu is so beautiful.¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense once again covered Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou laughed, then realized something was wrong.


    Although Xie Chengze was injured, his divine sense could be used, therefore his divine sense was very strong¡­Has Xie Chengze ever gone to see anyone else?


    Could it be that Xie Chengze has also seen others bathe and dress?


    He suddenly felt a little jealous!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what Lu Yanzhou was thinking. At this moment, he felt that he was not much better than Lu Yanzhou.


    He was staring at Lu Yanzhou too closely¡­Is this what a shizu should do?

 CH 224

    Xie Chengze felt guilty for his behavior, so he was lost in thought for a moment.


    Then the demon cultivator¡¯s spiritual qi in his body began to surge and show its presence immediately.


    Xie Chengze restrained his thoughts, then used his cultivation to fight against it, and endured wave after wave of pain.


    However, he did not take back his divine sense. His sense was still on Lu Yanzhou, sensing everything about Lu Yanzhou.


    This calms him down and makes him feel less uncomfortable.


    Over the years, he has been living in pain, and sometimes he even wants to die to just get over it.


    But Qingyun Sect needs a nascent soul ancestor.


    Even if he is injured, he is still a nascent soul cultivator, not to mention that people outside don¡¯t know the extent of his injury¡­


    As long as he is around, others will not dare to attack Qingyun Sect.


    His master saved his life, and Qingyun Sect also spent a lot of resources to train him. He should also give back to the sect.


    Xie Chengze closed his eyes.


    In the past, at times like this, he would completely release his divine sense, and then all kinds of noisy sounds in the sect would converge on him, buzzing and humming, diverting his attention, so he wouldn¡¯t feel so much pain.


    But now¡­his attention is entirely on Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou looks really good. He looks forward to seeing Lu Yanzhou from time to time.


    Watching¡­Xie Chengze noticed that Lu Yanzhou was taking pills. It¡¯s a pity that he no longer has any spirit pill that can be given to Lu Yanzhou¡­


    Lu Yanzhou took the time to improve his skills a little more.


    The amount of spiritual qi needed to cultivate from the early stage of foundation establishment to the later stage of foundation establishment is several times more than from Qi refining to foundation establishment.


    In addition, the original owner was only in the beginning stage of foundation establishment, and his cultivation speed was also not very fast. It would take about ten days to reach the last stage of foundation establishment.


    Ahem¡­well, he feels a bit embarrassed to say this.


    Lu Yanzhou planned to go meet Wei Yuzheng for a while when he reached the last stage of foundation establishment.


    There¡¯s definitely a problem with Wei Yuzheng.


    Not mentioning other things, just changing someone¡¯s spirit root¡­even those nascent soul cultivators won¡¯t be able to do it, so how did Wei Yuzheng do it?


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s divine sense is very strong, so he can directly use his divine sense to investigate Wei Yuzheng. However, Qingyun Sect has many ancient formations. He may be discovered if he uses his divine sense arbitrarily, so it is best to go and see it in person.


    What¡¯s more, if he only uses divine senses to look from a distance, sometimes he may not see everything. Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense has always been covering him, but he didn¡¯t discover anything wrong with him, right?


    After Lu Yanzhou cultivated for a while, he got up to feed the chickens and ducks and take care of his spiritual field.


    After walking around in the valley, he naturally¡­went to find Xie Chengze again.


    ¡°Shizu, what do you want to eat today?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Rabbit?¡± He had already eaten chicken and duck. Now it¡¯s rabbit and pig¡¯s turn, right?


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°Shizu, I¡¯ll roast them for you right away.¡±


    The rabbits and piglets were very cute. Lu Yanzhou was worried that Xie Chengze would be reluctant to eat them, but for Xie Chengze, eating seemed to be more important.


    Then let¡¯s have a roasted whole rabbit!


    As Lu Yanzhou was picking up the rabbit, he could feel that Xie Chengze¡¯s sense was always by his side.


    This really motivated him to work! Lu Yanzhou took out the alchemy furnace, controlled the heat with his divine sense, then started roasting the rabbit. By the way, he also used another alchemy furnace to cook.


    Alchemy furnace has the function of absorbing the surrounding spiritual qi, so it¡¯s perfect for cooking! Of course, being able to use the alchemy furnace so well must be attributed to his divine sense.


    Lu Yanzhou quickly prepared the dishes and took them to Xie Chengze.


    At this time, Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master also arrived.


    In the past two days, Qingyun sect master has been purging the bad rumor about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father.


    This rumor is not only detrimental to Lu Yanzhou¡¯s father, it will also affect the image of Qingyun Sect ¨C the sect¡¯s golden core cultivator can force the sect¡¯s foundation establishment cultivator to be his son¡¯s plucking target. Who dares to come to such a sect?


    Fortunately, it is not difficult to clarify this matter. Now no one in the sect believes this matter anymore!


    However, Lu Yanzhou said that there¡¯s a problem with Wei Yuzheng, but the sect master didn¡¯t see anything at all.


    She met Wei Yuzheng once, and Wei Yuzheng behaved very well in front of her, saying that he was talking nonsense from being hot-headed. He.also expressed his willingness to compensate Lu Yanzhou and clarify the matter¡­It¡¯s not easy for the sect master to do anything about it.


    Wei Yuzheng is now an inner disciple trained by the sect, and with the protection of a master who is almost as powerful as her, she can¡¯t do anything to Wei Yuzheng.


    This time, she came to the valley because she wanted to meet Xie Chengze and give Lu Yanzhou the compensation Wei Yuzheng gave to Lu Yanzhou.


    As soon as she entered the valley, the sect master discovered that the valley was different.


    At the entrance of the valley, there were a few places circled with simple formations that a Qi Refining cultivator would use, and inside were chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs respectively.


    After walking a few more steps, she can see the cultivated spirit field. Probably because of the abundant spirit qi here, the seeds that have just been sown have already sprouted.


    When she got inside¡­


    Xie Chengze was still sitting by the pool, but in the pool next to him that used to be calm and waveless like a mirror, a fish suddenly jumped out, turned over in mid-air, and then fell into the pool again.


    The valley that was not lively before suddenly became alive.


    The sect master was previously worried that Lu Yanzhou would disturb Xie Chengze, but now she found¡­that this was good.


    Just as she was thinking this, the sect master smelled a strong fragrance. She looked up and saw Lu Yanzhou coming over with an alchemy furnace and a food box. The rich fragrance came from the alchemy furnace.


    The sect master still remembers that Lu Yanzhou asked for this alchemy furnace from Liu Ruoxian.


    This alchemy furnace is quite good, and it¡¯s enough for a golden core cultivator to make spirit pill. As a result¡­ Lu Yanzhou used it to make food?


    What an idea!


    Although most people in the cultivation world do not pay much attention to food and drink and focus on cultivation, there are some people who don¡¯t feel like they will do well just by culitvating.


    For example, many outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect, knowing that there is no hope building their foundation, they simply stopped cultivating and focused on doing other things, such as doing business, painting, playing the qin, and so on.


    Qi refining cultivators can live for two hundred years, so they are already very satisfied!


    Among these people, there are naturally those who specialize in culinary arts because they love food.


    There are even some golden core cultivators or nascent soul cultivators who will study what tastes good because they are bored.


    Therefore, there are many delicacies in the cultivation world with a lot of seasonings available.


    At first, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t have any seasonings, and the food he made tasted average, but today¡¯s roasted whole rabbit really smelled quite delicious!


    ¡°Sect master, you are here too. Do you want to eat together?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile.


    Since the junior had invited, of course it was hard to refuse, so the sect master agreed: ¡°Okay.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± Why is Lu Yanzhou smiling at the sect master?


    Xie Chengze said to Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, the sect master is truly our elder. You should choose the best part of this rabbit and prepare a portion for the sect master.¡± He was reminding Lu Yanzhou that the sect master is not young!


    ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed immediately. He took out a dagger and cut off one of the rabbit¡¯s hind legs, sliced ??off the meat and put it on a special plate for the sect master. He also followed the same pattern and prepared a portion for Xie Chengze: ¡°Shizu, you also eat too.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡± His age, it seems, not young too?


    The sect master didn¡¯t know Xie Chengze¡¯s struggle and little thoughts, she just felt happy ¨C Xie Chengze still thinks of her too.


    Her picked up a piece of rabbit meat with the chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The sect master was a little surprised.


    Not only does this roasted rabbit contain spiritual qi, it also tastes really good.


    As for the attributes of spiritual qi that are different from hers¡­In fact, it can be transformed to a certain extent.


    It¡¯s really good to have Lu Yanzhou accompany Xie Chengze. Unfortunately, Lu Yanzhou has no spirit root and his lifespan is the same as that of a mortal. He can live up to a hundred years at most¡­


    The sect master originally wanted to ask Xie Chengze some questions, but in the end she didn¡¯t ask anything. She ate, gave the compensation given by Wei Yuzheng to Lu Yanzhou, then left.


    However, it wasn¡¯t long before Lu Yanzhou received a transmission ¨C the sect master¡¯s disciple sent him another batch of materials, which not only contained various common ingredients, but also the meat of several water attribute demon beasts.


    This is all good stuff! Let¡¯s eat it tonight!


    In the evening, Lu Yanzhou not only grilled demon beast meat, but also spread out some small flatbread with the pastry that were sent along with it.


    ¡°Shizu, this demon beast meat should be wrapped in flatbread. Let me wrap it for you.¡± Lu Yanzhou said, wrapping a piece of meat in the flatbread, adding seasonings and dipping ingredients, then handing it to Xie Chengze¡¯s mouth .


    Even if he helps wrap it, he doesn¡¯t need to feed him, right? Xie Chengze knew that he should refuse, but Lu Yanzhou looked at him expectantly¡­He unconsciously took a bite of the wrap meat in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand.


    While biting, his lips touched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s fingers.


    Or he shouldn¡¯t have said that his lips touched Lu Yanzhou¡¯s fingers, it was Lu Yanzhou who deliberately touched his lip.


    Lu Yanzhou was seducing him again!


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with a pair of gray eyes.


    Xie Chengze looks like a cute doll, obviously acting indifferent, but unexpectedly well-behaved and obedient.


    Lu Yanzhou really wanted to kiss him, so it took quite an effort for him to restrain his mouth from moving.


    He stretched out his hand again and handed the meat wrap over: ¡°Shizu, have some more.¡±


    Having already had the first bite, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t care about the second and third bites. He might as well let Lu Yanzhou feed him.


    Xie Chengze once visited a nascent soul cultivator. The cultivator was quite old but had a young man by his side.


    The cultivator did not become dao companion with the young man next to him, but he would practice dual cultivation with the young man and give him benefits. The young man would always treat him as his main support, being gentle and carefree.


    At that time, the young man would also feed the nascent soul cultivator. At that time, Xie Chengze felt that doing this was meaningless, but now he understands it.


    If he hadn¡¯t been injured, if Lu Yanzhou hadn¡¯t lost his spirit root, they might have been able to do the same. He wouldn¡¯t even mind becoming dao companion and concluding a contract with Lu Yanzhou.


    With his full support, it would be much easier for Lu Yanzhou to become a nascent soul cultivator.


    But now, they have no chance to be together.


    Lu Yanzhou can only plunder from others now. However, in his condition, if he was plunder, he will definitely not be able to suppress the power left by the demon cultivator in his body.


    Xie Chengze sighed darkly.


    He should reject Lu Yanzhou, but he couldn¡¯t do it.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know what Xie Chengze was thinking, he only felt happiness.


    Xie Chengze treated him differently. Although he looked cold, he was actually very close to him.


    Next, he will continue to work hard and get closer to Xie Chengze!


    Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.


    During these ten days, Lu Yanzhou pretended not to know that Xie Chengze was paying attention to him with his divine sense, and did all kinds of seductive behaviors.


    Although Xie Chengze still looked cold, he felt that if he confessed his love at this time, he should be accepted.


    But before he confesses his love¡­he has to go find Wei Yuzheng.


    Lu Yanzhou relied on various resources to reach the late stage of foundation establishment. Today, he greeted Xie Chengze, then left the valley.


    He felt Xie Chengze¡¯s sense following him.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He likes that Xie Chengze follows him, but with Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense, he can¡¯t do many things.


    For example, he couldn¡¯t sneak into Wei Yuzheng¡¯s master¡¯s peak and then secretly observe Wei Yuzheng.


    In the end, Lu Yanzhou could only take out a jade pendant that could hide his figure. Therefore, after activating it, he hid under Wei Yuzheng¡¯s master¡¯s peak.


    Wei Yuzheng is not the type to stay in the cave every day and concentrate on cultivation. He likes to make friends and walk around.


    There is a high probability that he would see him by waiting here.


    Lu Yanzhou was ready to wait and see, but he didn¡¯t know that on the other side, Wei Yuzheng had already received the news.


    A bird landed on Wei Yuzheng¡¯s hand. Wei Yuzheng stared at the bird for a while, then suddenly laughed: ¡°Lu Yanzhou came out? Trying to ambush me?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t get to wait long before he saw Wei Yuzheng walk past him.


    If Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense was not around, Lu Yanzhou might have tried to test the water, but Xie Chengze¡¯s was here.


    Lu Yanzhou could only watch Wei Yuzheng from a distance until Wei Yuzheng walked away.


    There was nothing unusual about Wei Yuzheng throughout the whole process, and he couldn¡¯t see any problem with him.


    This time, he¡¯s afraid he won¡¯t get any results¡­Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment, then turned around and left.


    Little did he know that because he had left too quickly, Wei Yuzheng couldn¡¯t react for a moment.


    Wei Yuzheng thought Lu Yanzhou would ambush him, but in the end¡­Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t do anything?


    Lu Yanzhou returned to the valley and first took a look at the livestock he raised then the fields he planted.


    Xie Chengze actually didn¡¯t need to eat. At first, he cooked two meals a day for Xie Chengze, but later Xie Chengze said one meal a day would be enough, so he changed it to one meal a day.


    At other times, he was either chatting with Xie Chengze or taking care of the valley. Under his care, the valley has now changed from a natural scenery to an idyllic scenery.


    Lu Yanzhou was back. Xie Chengze felt relieved, but he still did not withdraw his divine sense.


    Previously, because he didn¡¯t pay attention, Lu Yanzhou was bullied by Wei Yuzheng, and even his temperament changed because of it¡­Now he must watch Lu Yanzhou to prevent anything from happening again.


    Now that Lu Yanzhou was only a Qi refiner, if he confronts Wei Yuzheng again¡­Xie Chengze is afraid that something will happen to him.


    Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou did not act rashly.


    When Xie Chengze saw Lu Yanzhou again, he asked, ¡°Where did you go when you left the valley today?¡±


    Didn¡¯t you follow the whole way? Lu Yanzhou was a little amused, but he still replied: ¡°I went to see Wei Yuzheng.¡±


    Xie Chengze added: ¡°Can you tell me about the matter between you and Wei Yuzheng?¡± Xie Chengze knew that there was a conflict between the two, but he didn¡¯t know the specific situation. He wanted to hear from Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou did not hide anything, and told everything about the original owner and Wei Yuzheng. The content of what he said was almost the same as what he had said to the sect master before.


    Xie Chengze believed Lu Yanzhou¡¯s words and began to recall Wei Yuzheng.


    However, although he used his divine sense to see the situation in Qingyun Sect in the past, except for Lu Yanzhou, he didn¡¯t pay attention to anyone else, so he had no impression of Wei Yuzheng.


    If Lu Yanzhou¡¯s spirit root were really dug by Wei Yuzheng, then Wei Yuzheng is really a bit scary!


    With this in mind, Xie Chengze released his divine sense and prepared to keep an eye on Wei Yuzheng in the future.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze asked Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Do you want to take revenge on Wei Yuzheng?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said without hesitation: ¡°Yes!¡±


    Although he did not like the original owner, Wei Yuzheng dug up the original owner¡¯s spirit root. This action is no different from murdering in the cultivation world.


    He will definitely avenge the original owner!


    Xie Chengze was in a complicated mood. With Lu Yanzhou¡¯s current strength, there was no way he could take revenge on Wei Yuzheng. It was probably because of this that after Lu Yanzhou went to find Wei Yuzheng, he quietly came back without doing anything.


    It would be great if he could help Lu Yanzhou, but he couldn¡¯t.


    ¡°How are you going to take revenge without your spirit root?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°This matter can be taken slowly, I¡¯m not in a hurry.¡±


    Xie Chengze frowned.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t like seeing him like this, so he reached out to smooth Xie Chengze¡¯s brow.


    Xie Chengze was shocked, and then said: ¡°Don¡¯t always touch me.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou laughed: ¡°I can¡¯t help it.¡±


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lu Yanzhou suddenly leaned over and kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s brow: ¡°Shizu, I really like you.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know why he didn¡¯t hide.


    However, he didn¡¯t hide and looked at Lu Yanzhou seriously.


    His eyes could not see Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression, but his sense completely enveloped Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s eyes were full of seriousness, and when he said this, there was no other sign of guilt.


    Lu Yanzhou, is it true that he simply likes him?


    If this is really the case¡­


    ¡°Shizu, I like you, do you like me?¡± Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze¡¯s hand.


    In the past in World Management, Xie Chengze was also like this. But at that time, Lu Yanzhou did not dare to take a step beyond his reach.


    But now he has been together with Xie Chengze for so many worlds¡­let alone just shaking hands, kissing is not impossible!


    Xie Chengze suddenly asked: ¡°Do you know how I got my injury?¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked immediately. He had always wanted to know what happened to Xie Chengze¡¯s injury.


    After all, only by knowing the condition of Xie Chengze¡¯s injuries could he help Xie Chengze treat it.


    Xie Chengze slowly told what happened that year, and then said: ¡°So although I am a nascent soul cultivator, I cannot use my spirit qi. All spirit qi must be used to suppress the power in my body that does not belong to me.¡±


    He wanted Lu Yanzhou to know that his situation is very bad, if Lu Yanzhou still has his original intention.


    Lu Yanzhou asked: ¡°AZe, can you let me check your body?¡±


    Xie Chengze even accepted that he liked Lu Yanzhou, so naturally he wouldn¡¯t mind Lu Yanzhou checking his physical condition: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou was already holding Xie Chengze¡¯s hand, so after hearing Xie Chengze¡¯s words, his qi entered Xie Chengze¡¯s body.


    There are indeed two streams of qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body, one is weaker but very pure, and the other is stronger but very messy.


    The key is that the latter occupies Xie Chengze¡¯s dantian, making it difficult for Xie Chengze to cultivate. If Xie Chengze wants to consume it, his own cultivation may be exhausted first.


    Xie Chengze must have been in a lot of pain these years.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression was solemn, so Xie Chengze said: ¡°You have also seen my situation. I can¡¯t do anything right now. I can¡¯t even get out of this valley. If I¡¯m not careful, I may lose my life¡­¡±


    ¡°AZe, I have a way to cure your injury.¡± Lu Yanzhou suddenly said.


    Xie Chengze was stunned.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°AZe, let¡¯s dual cultivate. Let the demon qi in your body into mine, you will then return to normal!¡±


    The more Lu Yanzhou thought about it, the more he felt this was a good idea!


    He is worried that he will not have enough resources to improve his strength in the future. What about those inside Xie Chengze¡¯s body? There is a mass of ownerless qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body that belongs to a nascent soul cultivator!


    If he could absorb the qi that the demon cultivator left in Xie Chengze¡¯s body, would he be able to directly reach the nascent soul stage?


    Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t have to suffer anymore in the future too!


    As for that messy qi that originally belonged to the demon cultivator¡­Lu Yanzhou really didn¡¯t care.


    It¡¯s better than letting Xie Chengze continue to suffer!


    And if the qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body is not resolved, Xie Chengze will never be able to use his strength in the future!


    If that idiot demon cultivator from outside breaks in, is Xie Chengze still planning to blow himself up?


    Lu Yanzhou realized how good his idea is.


    Xie Chengze was stunned. He looked at Lu Yanzhou and couldn¡¯t tell what he was feeling. He said in a cold voice: ¡°Dual cultivation draws on my own strength, which makes me unable to suppress the demon cultivator¡¯s qi.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t use his qi, so how can they dual cultivate by using qi?


    What¡¯s more, what Lu Yanzhou practiced was not a dual cultivation technique at all, but a plundering technique.


    This technique is very similar to dual cultivation. However, when one dual cultivated with the person who learned this skill, they would unconsciously plunder their partner.


    The demon cultivator he killed a hundred years ago had disguised himself as a righteous cultivator when he was young, coaxed many people to dual cultivate with him, and then plunder them cleanly.


    If Lu Yanzhou really wanted to dual cultivate with him, problems might occur, not to mention that Lu Yanzhou actually wanted to plunder him.


    If he were to really be plundered, he would probably die on the spot.


    ¡°AZe, I have a way.¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    In fact, what he practiced was not a dual cultivation technique, but a plundering technique, coupled with his strong divine sense¡­Lu Yanzhou was sure that he would only absorb the demonic cultivation¡¯s qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body without harming Xie Chengze¡¯s own cultivation.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s heart felt cold.


    Lu Yanzhou was very kind to him these days. He was very gentle, cooking with his own hands, and even clip and feed him food.


    His originally cold valley became full of life under Lu Yanzhou¡¯s care.


    He thought that Lu Yanzhou was somewhat sincere towards him.


    But now¡­the livestock that Lu Yanzhou brought back haven¡¯t been eaten yet, and the spiritual plants that Lu Yanzhou planted haven¡¯t grown yet¡­


    Lu Yanzhou really can¡¯t wait?


    T/N: Sorry for the long wait. This year ain¡¯t so lucky. I burned my left hand and broke my right wrist. The cast was taken off not long ago. Imma try my best to finish this novel quickly!

 CH 225

    ¡°I don¡¯t agree.¡± Xie Chengze rejected Lu Yanzhou¡¯s proposal without hesitation.


    Although for him, living has meant suffering for the past hundred years, he still doesn¡¯t want to die yet.


    If he dies, who knows if Lu Yanzhou will find someone else!


    In addition¡­ Lu Yanzhou is only in the Qi refining stage now. Thus, if he were to plunder him, there is a high probability that he may be in trouble.


    ¡°AZe¡­¡± Lu Yanzhou called out again.


    Xie Chengze closed his eyes and looked like he didn¡¯t want to talk anymore.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°AZe, let¡¯s give it a try. If there is danger, then we¡¯ll stop in time¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze still said nothing.


    Lu Yanzhou held Xie Chengze¡¯s hand and kissed it: ¡°AZe, if the demon qi is left in your body, you will have a hard time. I don¡¯t want you to feel uncomfortable.¡±


    ¡°AZe, let¡¯s try it!¡±


    ¡°AZe¡­¡±


    The repeated calls of ¡®AZe¡¯ made Xie Chengze¡¯s heart tremble. He opened his eyes, his gray eyes looking at Lu Yanzhou: ¡°Let me think about it.¡±


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what to do either.


    He should reject Lu Yanzhou and then drive him away without hesitation.


    However, if he does this, will Lu Yanzhou give up the idea of plundering him and look for someone else?


    To cultivate such skills and also find people to plunder¡­won¡¯t Lu Yanzhou become a being that everyone shouts at?


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly.


    He is really crazy!


    Lu Yanzhou plotted against him, wanted his cultivation, and didn¡¯t care about his life or death, but he actually cared about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s future!


    ¡°This is something that is needed to think through and preparation is also needed.¡± Lu Yanzhou also felt that he was a little abrupt. He and Xie Chengze had only known each other for a few days, and he directly proposed dual cultivation to Xie Chengze¡­It¡¯s normal for Xie Chengze to disagree!


    Seeing that Lu Yanzhou stopped talking about dual cultivation, Xie Chengze let out a sigh of relief.


    Lu Yanzhou had already talked about something else at this time: ¡°AZe, how about I cook boiled fish for you to eat later?¡±


    Boiled fish? Fish boiled in plain water? Xie Chengze sighed inwardly, because he didn¡¯t agree to dual cultivation, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t bother to make complicated food?


    Xie Chengze was hit hard today. He was not in the mood to say anything at this time, so he just answered ¡®hmm¡¯.


    Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t help but feel itchy when he saw him sitting there with a cold expression on his face, but his sense was entangled with him. He leaned over and kissed Xie Chengze¡¯s forehead: ¡°Wait for me here, it will be done soon!¡±


    After saying that, Lu Yanzhou went down to the river. Caught a fish and took it to the kitchen.


    However, Xie Chengze was suppressing the qi in his body that was not inferior to his own.


    Lu Yanzhou wanted revenge, but he couldn¡¯t help Lu Yanzhou¡­If Lu Yanzhou couldn¡¯t plunder him, he would definitely try to plunder others.


    Even if he doesn¡¯t take revenge¡­who doesn¡¯t want to live forever? Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Yanzhou to give up cultivating.


    What should he do?


    Previously, although Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense had been following Lu Yanzhou, he would exercise restraint and wouldn¡¯t be too entangled with him.


    But this time it¡¯s different.


    His divine sense tightly wrapped around Lu Yanzhou, and he was reluctant to let go.


    Feeling his divine sense, Lu Yanzhou raised the corners of his mouth, and sliced ??the fish very quickly.


    The bean sprouts had sprouts a few days ago, that¡¯s why he plans to make boiled fish.


    Xie Chengze can¡¯t eat very spicy food, but he likes the spicy taste of boiled fish, and he also likes bean sprouts as a side dish.


    He has wanted to make this dish for a long time now, and he can finally make it today.


    Therefore, not long after, Xie Chengze saw the alchemy furnace filled with boiled fish brought by Lu Yanzhou.


    This is boiled fish?


    Because he was in a bad mood just now, Xie Chengze, who didn¡¯t pay attention to what Lu Yanzhou cooked, was a little surprised. He took a bite and found that the taste was very to his liking.


    If he doesn¡¯t bother with Lu Yanzhou¡¯s thoughts, Lu Yanzhou is really good to him.


    ¡°AZe, do you like this fish?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    ¡°I like it,¡± Xie Chengze thought of another thing at this time, ¡°Why don¡¯t you call me shizu anymore?¡±


    Previously, Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t calm his thoughts, so he didn¡¯t think much about it, but now he was puzzled.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s previous behavior was indeed a bit bold.


    Because he had other thoughts about Lu Yanzhou in his heart, he acquiesced in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s closeness to him a few days ago.


    But after all, he was still Lu Yanzhou¡¯s shizu, and he knew very well that his appearance made people feel unapproachable.


    He thought that Lu Yanzhou would try to seduce him for a long while before he dared to go further. He never thought that within a few days, Lu Yanzhou would dare to tell him that he liked him, hold his hand, kiss him, and call him ¡®AZe¡¯.


    Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou too impatient?


    If he wasn¡¯t in a hurry, why would Lu Yanzhou tell him about dual cultivation so quickly?


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I feel that calling you AZe is more intimate.¡±


    Xie Chengze was silent again.


    Xie Chengze was silent most of the time, so Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care and continued talking to Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, I¡¯ve been cooking recently, and I have more and more control over the alchemy furnace! In a few days, I can try refining pills. I will refine some spirit pills for your condition.¡±


    Xie Chengze suddenly asked: ¡°Lu Yanzhou, you want to absorb the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in my body. Aren¡¯t you afraid that after you become a demon cultivator, everyone will be criticized by everyone? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you can¡¯t control the qi in your body?¡±


    ¡°I think I should be able to control the qi in my body,¡± Lu Yanzhou coughed lightly, ¡°As for becoming a demon cultivator¡­As long as I don¡¯t cause trouble, it shouldn¡¯t be any problem?¡±


    If he really can absorb the qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body¡­By then, not only will he reach the nascent soul stage, by then, others will also be unable to do anything to him, right?


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°Everyone in the cultivation world all shout to eliminate demon cultivators. It¡¯s not a matter of causing trouble or not¡­I have some jade slips here, which record some of the lives of demon cultivators. You can take a look.¡±


    Xie Chengze does not want Lu Yanzhou to become a demon cultivator.


    The end of demon cultivators is never good.


    When a cultivator easily gains power, or relies on hurting and killing people to gain power, they will most likely lose themselves in power.


    Chaotic qi may also cause them to be rejected by the heaven dao.


    For example, the most powerful demon cultivator among the many demon cultivators in the past was the legendary Amorous Demon Lord.


    At that time, the Amorous Demon Lord was recognized as the best in the world in terms of strength. No cultivator could beat him, but in the end, wasn¡¯t his soul still struck by thunder and dispersed?


    The previous cultivation world was actually different from the cultivator world now.


    Back then, there were soul transformations on top of nascent souls. At that time, there were hundreds of nascent soul masters in the world.


    As a result, in order to improve his cultivation, the Amorous Demon Lord harmed countless people and things. This, when he was struck to death by lightning, the entire cultivation world was severely damaged, and it has never been able to recover since.


    If Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation could be stopped¡­


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that Xie Chengze had thought so much. He thought that Xie Chengze was worried that he would become a demon cultivator and that he would be injured during dual cultivation.


    With his current strength, it is indeed not easy to use the demon cultivator¡¯s qi left in Xie Chengze¡¯s body for his own use.


    If he is not careful, he may even explode and die.


    But he still wanted to try.


    ¡°AZe, let¡¯s try it. How will we know if it works if we don¡¯t try it?¡± Said Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze did not expect that Lu Yanzhou would not give up, so he could only say: ¡°No.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    In the next few days, Lu Yanzhou would bring up the matter of dual cultivation from time to time, but Xie Chengze remained unmoved.


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care too much either.


    The Xie Chengze of this world is his shizu, and he also has a cold personality. It¡¯s not easy for him to accept his intimacy. The dual cultivation needs to take a step at a time.


    Wait, Xie Chengze doesn¡¯t seem to be really cold? Right now, Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense was tightly wrapped around him, never letting go for a moment.


    Xie Chengze is not as honest as his divine sense at all.


    Well, Xie Chengze should be worried about him. Under normal circumstances, he, a qi refining cultivator, dual cultivated with a nascent soul cultivator like Xie Chengze, whose body could blow up any time, would surely end badly.


    Today, the vegetables planted by Lu Yanzhou have matured. He got up early in the morning to harvest the vegetables, and then made several dishes for Xie Chengze.


    Xie Chengze has been wrapping Lu Yanzhou with his divine sense and observing Lu Yanzhou greedily.


    He really liked the way Lu Yanzhou was busy in the valley.


    He even fantasizes that they were just ordinary dao companions, planting spiritual fields and living together.


    ¡°AZe, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Lu Yanzhou came to Xie Chengze with the food.


    Xie Chengze got down from the stone where he was sitting cross-legged and slowly ate the food Lu Yanzhou cooked.


    ¡°I grew these myself. How does it taste?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°It¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°Then you eat more.¡± Lu Yanzhou gave Xie Chengze some food.


    Xie Chengze ate a lot. Then, at this moment, Lu Yanzhou took out a few more spirit pills: ¡°AZe, these are the pills I refined. They are good for the body. Take some.¡±


    Xie Chengze knew that Lu Yanzhou had been studying alchemy for a while now, and he also knew what kind of pills Lu Yanzhou was refining.


    Those were spirit pills that can adjust one¡¯s state and allow people to dual cultivate better.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s thoughts are still all about dual cultivation!


    No, that¡¯s not dual cultivation, it¡¯s clearly plundering!


    Xie Chengze took the pill and clenched his fist, not wanting to eat it at all.


    However, Lu Yanzhou¡¯s expression was earnest: ¡°AZe, take one and try it!¡± The pill he refined was very effective. Lu Yanzhou actually wanted Xie Chengze to praise him after taking it.


    Xie Chengze finally ate a pill.


    Lu Yanzhou asked, ¡°How was it?¡±


    ¡°Very good.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou smiled: ¡°AZe, what are you thinking about? Do you want to dual cultivate with me?¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s lips moved: ¡°Wait a little longer.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t care much and continued to pack his things.


    He was wondering whether he should reveal his current cultivation level to Xie Chengze.


    If Xie Chengze knew that he was very strong, he would probably agree to give it a try.


    However, Xie Chengze may also be suspicious. If Xie Chengze doubts him, he will be in trouble!


    His current physical condition cannot withstand Xie Chengze¡¯s detailed examination.


    What he practiced was the demon technique that harmed Xie Chengze!


    If Xie Chengze suspected that he wanted to do bad things, he would not agree.


    Lu Yanzhou sighed secretly and went to do his own business.


    Xie Chengze¡¯s sense followed him subconsciously¡­


    Lu Yanzhou wanted him to die, but his sense kept pestering Lu Yanzhou¡­


    Xie Chengze was not in a good mood. He thought about it, gritted his teeth and took his divine sense back.


    He should calm down and cool off.

 CH 226

    As soon as Xie Chengze withdrew his divine sense, Lu Yanzhou discovered it.


    When he first came here, Xie Chengze didn¡¯t really use his divine sense to observe him, but these days, Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense was always around him.


    This made Lu Yanzhou unable to find a chance to meet Wei Yuzheng.


    Now that Xie Chengze has taken back his divine sense¡­ Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment, then left the valley with the jade pendant that allowed him to pass freely.


    Without knowing Wei Yuzheng¡¯s exact situation, he felt uneasy.


    This time without Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense following him, Lu Yanzhou disguised himself as soon as he left the valley.


    He doesn¡¯t have any cultivation resources at the moment, but his father still left him a lot of good things, including a lot of miscellaneous techniques.


    Lu Yanzhou had studied all these techniques. According to the content written in one of the techniques, he uses his qi to change his appearance, then releases his divine sense to explore the path, and then moves forward quickly.


    Without Xie Chengze watching, no one else could find him.


    After a while, Lu Yanzhou arrived near Wei Yuzheng¡¯s residence.


    Wei Yuzheng is inside!


    At this moment, Wei Yuzheng was in a good mood.


    Xie Chengze finally took back his divine sense!


    Who knows what¡¯s going on these days, but Xie Chengze keeps staring at him with his divine sense!


    In Qingyun Sect, the only person he was afraid of was Xie Chengze.


    He hasn¡¯t recovered his strength at this stage yet. If Xie Chengze notices something¡­it will affect his plan!


    Therefore, in order to prevent Xie Chengze from noticing something wrong, he was cautious these days and didn¡¯t dare to do anything.


    Now Xie Chengze finally stops paying attention to him!


    Wei Yuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about leaving Qingyun Sect for a moment. He will then come back when no one mentioned the matter between Lu Yanzhou and Liu Ruoxian anymore.


    At this moment, someone suddenly broke in and attacked Wei Yuzheng.


    Wei Yuzheng¡¯s expression changed drastically. He was shocked when he saw the attack.


    He had rebuilt this body that he had taken over, so although his current strength is very low, not yet at the golden core stage, his divine sense is very strong.


    Normally, if someone was approaching him quietly, he should have noticed it long ago! Who came? Surprisingly, they could actually hide from him.


    The person who came was of course Lu Yanzhou.


    Afraid that Xie Chengze would be worried if he found out that he was not in the valley, Lu Yanzhou, who was anxious to finish his work and go back, took action as soon as he found Wei Yuzheng this time.


    In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged several moves.


    Because he didn¡¯t want to make too much noise, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t use any big moves when he took action and restrained his strength.


    Wei Yuzheng probably had the same idea, so although their attacks were fierce, their impact was very small.


    It was also during this fight that Lu Yanzhou discovered that Wei Yuzheng was not an intermediate foundation establishment cultivator as told to the outside world. His strength had already reached the peak of foundation establishment, and was only one step away from the gold core stage.


    Fortunately, after consolidating his strength during this period, he has also reached the peak of foundation establishment.


    As for the others¡­


    There¡¯s really a problem with Wei Yuzheng!


    He used his divine sense in the battle, and so did Wei Yuzheng! Wei Yuzheng¡¯s divine sense is also very strong, not weaker than Xie Chengze¡¯s at all!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t use all of his divine sense because he was afraid of being discovered by the heaven dao, making it difficult for him to suppress Wei Yuzheng.


    Wei Yuzheng¡¯s bone age is fifty or sixty years old, so it¡¯s impossible for him to possess such divine sense. If he¡¯s not wrong, then this should be some old monster who has been reincarnated and recultivated!


    In this world, nascent soul is the highest level of cultivation. Therefore, it¡¯s almost impossible for a nascent soul master to reincarnate to re-cultivate. Who knows what kind of miraculous advanture this person has encountered!


    Many thoughts flashed through Lu Yanzhou¡¯s mind, but his attacks became more and more fierce. He wanted to kill Wei Yuzheng on the spot.


    Keeping such a person would be a disaster, just like how Wei Yuzheng pulled out the original owner¡¯s spirit root¡­he is probably not a good person.


    Wei Yuzheng was becoming more and more frightened. He had always thought that no one in this world could compare with him in terms of realm, but this person in front of him¡­his realm was the same as him!


    His cultivation level is similar to his!


    This person is obviously not Xie Chengze, but an old monster like him who has been reincarnated and re-cultivate!


    If he continues to tangle with this person, his identity may be exposed¡­Wei Yuzheng gritted his teeth, took out a bead, and detonated it.


    Lu Yanzhou already realized something was wrong when Wei Yuzheng took out the bead, but the explosion of the bead was so powerful that it still affected him and prevented him from catching Wei Yuzheng. Wei Yuzheng disappeared in the blink of an eye with unknown methods!


    With such a big commotion, it would definitely attract everyone around him, and Xie Chengze might even look for him¡­


    Lu Yanzhou quickly ran towards the valley, taking off his disguise at the same time.


    After taking off his disguise, Lu Yanzhou slowed down and took out another storage bag.


    This is not his storage bag, it is Wei Yuzheng¡¯s. While he was fighting with Wei Yuzheng before, he grabbed Wei Yuzheng¡¯s storage bag.


    Wei Yuzheng obviously had more advanced storage equipment on him. After all, even after he stole the storage bag, Wei Yuzheng still took out a lot of things to fight with him.


    However, this storage bag was placed in the open by Wei Yuzheng, so there should be quite a few good things in it.


    Lu Yanzhou thought so and opened the storage bag.


    There are indeed a lot of good things in this storage bag. As a reincarnated person, Wei Yuzheng collected a lot of treasures while cultivating outside.


    Lu Yanzhou looked around and found that most of the things were ordinary, except for a flying sword that was very precious. Even a nascent soul master wouldn¡¯t find such flying sword shabby!


    Even¡­ordinary nascent soul masters may not have such a weapon in their hands!


    This sword also has water attributes and is very beautiful¡­Lu Yanzhou¡¯s first reaction after seeing it was that he could give this sword to Xie Chengze.


    No, it cannot be sent.


    He snatched this sword from Wei Yuzheng. He didn¡¯t know who it belonged to or who had used it before. It would be a bad idea to suddenly give it to Xie Chengze.


    He¡¯d better use it himself!


    As for Xie Chengze¡­he could learn to refine weapons another day, and then refine a flying sword for Xie Chengze that belongs exclusively to Xie Chengze.


    Lu Yanzhou counted the contents of the storage bag as he walked. After a while, he arrived outside the valley.


    It was at this time that he felt a powerful divine sense suddenly appear from the valley and extend outward.


    It¡¯s Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense!


    This divine sense contained anxiety, but after ¡®seeing¡¯ him, Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense calmed down.


    Fortunately, he came back in a hurry, otherwise Xie Chengze would have been worried.


    Lu Yanzhou speeded up his return to the valley.


    At the same time, Xie Chengze¡¯s heart finally relaxed.


    Xie Chengze was in a bad mood before, so he withdrew his sense and didn¡¯t want to see Lu Yanzhou anymore.


    However, not long after, he released his sense again.


    He wanted to know what Lu Yanzhou was doing.


    These days, he wishes Lu Yanzhou could be by his side all the time, otherwise¡­what¡¯s the point of living in pain?


    As a result, his divine sense searched around the valley, but he couldn¡¯t find Lu Yanzhou!


    Where did Lu Yanzhou go? Left?


    He didn¡¯t agree to dual cultivate with Lu Yanzhou, so Lu Yanzhou went to find someone else?


    Isn¡¯t Lu Yanzhou afraid of danger?


    Xie Chengze couldn¡¯t describe how he felt, and then immediately released his divine sense.


    Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou was at the entrance of the valley.


    The time is short, so even if Lu Yanzhou went outside, he probably didn¡¯t do much.


    However, Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t do anything this time, but what about next time?


    Xie Chengze felt unhappy, but at this time, Lu Yanzhou had already arrived in front of him.


    Xie Chengze asked: ¡°Where have you been?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°I went to find Wei Yuzheng, but when I was almost there, I found that something seemed to have occurred there, so I came back.¡±


    ¡°Why did you go to see him?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    ¡°AZe, you also know that I have a grudge against him. I still think there is something wrong with him, so I went to have a look.¡±


    Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou deeply.


    Lu Yanzhou obviously bent on revenge.


    The only way he could stop Lu Yanzhou was to lock Lu Yanzhou in the valley, but if he really did that, Lu Yanzhou would definitely hate him.


    He didn¡¯t want Lu Yanzhou to hate him, but he was also afraid that something would happen to Lu Yanzhou.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of danger?¡± Xie Chengze asked.


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any danger in Qingyun Sect, right?¡±


    If there¡¯s really a problem with Wei Yuzheng and he was determined to kill Lu Yanzhou, Qingyun Sect would not be that safe. Xie Chengze sighed silently, then his divine sense wrapped around Lu Yanzhou.


    He concentrated on Lu Yanzhou, as if he wanted to integrate Lu Yanzhou into his divine sense.


    Lu Yanzhou: ¡°¡­¡± He felt that he was being teased by Xie Chengze.


    Very good! He likes it!


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what Lu Yanzhou was thinking. He was just worried that Lu Yanzhou would leave and disappear.


    He was worried that he would hear about Lu Yanzhou¡¯s death.


    In fact, he had wanted to die for a long time. Wouldn¡¯t it be a good idea to give his cultivation to Lu Yanzhou so that he could be freed?


    It would be difficult for Lu Yanzhou to achieve his cultivation level by relying on the plucking technique, but if he was willing to help, Lu Yanzhou could still be successful from plucking.


    It should be possible for him to break through to the golden core stage in one fell swoop.


    If he keeps refusing, he will probably lose Lu Yanzhou completely, but if he agrees to Lu Yanzhou, he will definitely leave a lasting mark in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s heart.


    Xie Chengze suddenly said: ¡°I agree to dual cultivate with you.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Lu Yanzhou was very surprised.


    ¡°But you have to agree to my two requests.¡± Xie Chengze added.


    ¡°What¡¯s the request?¡± Lu Yanzhou asked.


    Xie Chengze said: ¡°You have to swear to heaven dao that you will protect Qingyun Sect and not kill innocent people.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Yanzhou agreed without thinking. This is his and Xie Chengze¡¯s sect, so he will definitely protect it.


    Is Xie Chengze making such a request because he is afraid that he will have a grudge against Qingyun Sect? Was he afraid that he would implicate others when he took revenge?


    Xie Chengze continued: ¡°Swear to the heaven dao that you will have skin-to-skin contact with only me in this life.¡±


    If Lu Yanzhou is willing to agree¡­he can rest in peace even if he dies.


    ¡°AZe! It¡¯s impossible for me to have skin-to-skin contact with anyone else! I only like you.¡±


    ¡°Do you agree?¡±


    ¡°Of course I agree.¡± Lu Yanzhou was very certain that the reason Xie Chengze made him swear such an oath was because he is still jealous about him and Liu Ruoxian and he was afraid that something would happen during the dual cultivation process.


    They really need to be extremely careful when dual cultivating.


    This valley should be fortified.


    ¡°Then you swear to heaven dao.¡± Xie Chengze looked deeply at Lu Yanzhou and his mood improved.


    If one violates the oath they swore to heaven dao, they will be punished by heaven and be struck by lightning!


    Back then, even someone as powerful as the Amorous Demon Lord was struck to death by lightning. Therefore, Lu Yanzhou should not break his oath.


    Lu Yanzhou will only has skin-to-skin contact with him in his life, which is great.


    If this is the case, even if he dies, Lu Yanzhou will remember him for the rest of his life, he is already satisfied.


    Lu Yanzhou swore the oaths to heaven dao without any hesitation.


    After swearing, he turned his head and saw Xie Chengze, who looked very cold, smiling gently towards him.


    Lu Yanzhou immediately kissed him.

 CH 227

    After Lu Yanzhou kissed him for a while, he let go of Xie Chengze: ¡°AZe, we still have some preparations to do.¡±


    Xie Chengze also realized this and nodded: ¡°Indeed.¡±


    If he didn¡¯t make any preparations¡­Even if Lu Yanzhou succeeds in plucking him, he will be killed by the other golden core cultivators in the Qingyun Sect.


    Thinking of this, Xie Chengze asked: ¡°What are you going to do?¡±


    Lu Yanzhou said: ¡°Let¡¯s strengthen the formation of this valley and completely seal the entire valley. Then on the pretext that you need to treat your injuries, please ask the sect master to guard outside the valley?¡±


    Wei Yuzheng was frightened and should not dare to do anything in a short period of time. As for the golden core demon cultivator who caused Xie Chengze to self-destruct in the original trajectory¡­without the original owner, the man who cheated others, to lead the way, he would not be able to come in. Even if he comes in, it is uncertain if he will be able to defeat the sect master.


    As for those nascent soul cultivators¡­most of them live in seclusion and are unlikely to suddenly come to their sect.


    There is also an agreement between the righteous nascent soul cultivators not to fight with each other.


    Xie Chengze was stunned when he heard this.


    He didn¡¯t expect that Lu Yanzhou would want the sect master to guard outside the valley. Isn¡¯t he afraid that the sect master would kill him then?


    However, Lu Yanzhou is eloquent, so he might be able to escape te suspicion.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xie Chengze agreed.


    When Lu Yanzhou saw that he agreed, he urged him to contact the sect master ¨C if he wanted to activate all the formations in the valley, it¡¯s still necessary for the sect master to do it. The two of them were not capable of doing so.


    Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, who was in a hurry, and contacted the sect master.


    The sect master came over not long after: ¡°Shizu, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense swept over her body and noticed something was wrong with her expression: ¡°Something happened to Qingyun Sect?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, it¡¯s just Wei Yuzheng¡¯s residence was bombed, and Wei Yuzheng disappeared. Looking at the movement, the person who did it seemed to be at least at the level of a golden core. They seem to have fought for a long time but Wei Yuzheng did not ask for help, and his master did not notice any movement. Things are a little strange.¡± said the sect master.


    Xie Chengze asked, ¡°Are you doing anything?¡±


    ¡°Shizu, this matter has been handed over to Wei Yuzheng¡¯s master. I have nothing to do,¡± the sect master said.


    In Qingyun Sect, golden core cultivators usually resolve matters on their own mountain by themselves. After all, the sect master is only a golden core cultivator.


    Xie Chengze, who originally wanted to delay it for a few days: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Shizu called me over, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Xie Chengze said, ¡°I¡¯ve thought of a method to heal my wounds. Help me activate all the formations in this valley, and then guard the outside of the valley for me for a period of time.¡±


    ¡°Shizu, do you really have a way to treat your injury?¡± The sect master was extremely surprised.


    Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer cultivation resources. If their Qingyun Sect didn¡¯t have two spiritual veins, they would never be able to distribute spirit stones to their disciples.


    However, if Qingyun Sect loses the nascent soul cultivator, the two spiritual veins wouldn¡¯t necessarily be able to be preserved.


    If the spiritual veins cannot be preserved, those talented disciples will not come to Qingyun Sect. If they do not come to Qingyun Sect¡­Qingyun Sect will gradually decline.


    The sect master, more than anyone else, hopes Xie Chengze will recover.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Said Xie Chengze.


    The sect master was overjoyed and quickly followed Xie Chengze¡¯s request to strengthen the formations in the valley and activate all the killing formations.


    Normally, if someone enters by mistake, they will be rejected by the formation, but after the killing formation is activated, the formation will directly attack that person.


    After doing all this, the sect master called two other golden core cultivators and asked them to guard with her to prevent anyone from disturbing Xie Chengze. Not only did she act quickly, she was also very active.


    Xie Chengze: ¡°¡­¡±


    After they left the valley, Xie Chengze sent a message to the sect master. He didn¡¯t say much, only that if he had an accident, he asked the sect master to take good care of Lu Yanzhou.


    The sect master immediately agreed. Even if Shizu didn¡¯t say anything, she would handle it. After all, Lu Yanzhou is quite pleasing to the eyes now.


    ¡°Senior sister, what did shizu say?¡± asked a golden core cultivator beside the sect master.


    The sect master read the message Xie Chengze had sent.


    The man was a little surprised: ¡°Shizu, he thinks so highly of Lu Yanzhou?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s probably because of fate,¡± the sect master said.


    ¡°That must be quite a fate. Shizu asked us to guard outside the valley, but he still stayed in the valley.¡±


    The sect master said: ¡°He is only in the Qi refining stage, so it¡¯s impossible for him to hurt shizu. There¡¯s no point in staying out here with us. It¡¯s good for him to stay in the valley.¡±


    Shizu is treating his injuries, not breaking through. There is no danger in staying by shizu¡¯s side.


    Hearing what the sect master said, the two golden core cultivator also thought it made sense.


    They set up a simple formation outside the valley, sat cross-legged, and guarded it.


    Meanwhile, in the valley.


    Xie Chengze was in a good mood at the moment.


    Lu Yanzhou should have some feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be willing to swear and promise not to touch others.


    Moreover, he is in pain every day. It would be a good thing if he could be relieved.


    He was even looking forward to what was going to happen next. It was said that people who were plunder by the demonic cultivation technique felt extremely comfortable, as if they were in the immortal land.


    However, he was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to enjoy it for too long. If he didn¡¯t help Lu Yanzhou a little, Lu Yanzhou wouldn¡¯t be able to survive after plundering him.


    Lu Yanzhou also saw that Xie Chengze was in a good mood. Xie Chengze in this world rarely smiled, but he smiled now.


    Unable to restrain himself, he hugged Xie Chengze and kissed him: ¡°AZe¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze responded for the first time.


    The two kissed for a long time before Lu Yanzhou let go of Xie Chengze and said to Xie Chengze, ¡°AZe, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything later. I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    Xie Chengze smiled and said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou kissed him again after hearing his answer.


    Lu Yanzhou had rich experience and directly took the initiative. While running the technique, he released his divine sense, stimulating the qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body that did not belong to Xie Chengze, and allowed these qi to enter his body.


    The demon cultivator¡¯s hundred years of qi, he now got it cheaply!


    Lu Yanzhou told Xie Chengze not to worry about anything, and Xie Chengze obeyed.


    He allowed Lu Yanzhou to act, only planning to wait until Lu Yanzhou could no longer bear his qi before helping.


    When the time comes, he will have to find a way to suppress the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in his body.


    Otherwise, with so much qi entering Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body, Lu Yanzhou wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything but die.


    As for before that¡­


    Xie Chengze hugged Lu Yanzhou, and his divine sense wrapped around Lu Yanzhou tightly, reluctant to let go.


    He was about to die, so he should always be more willful.


    Xie Chengze thought that his qi would be sucked away by Lu Yanzhou.


    However, he was wrong.


    Lu Yanzhou blocked his mouth, and then¡­began to take the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in his body.


    Lu Yanzhou was indeed running the plundering technique, but he was not plundered.


    Xie Chengze opened his eyes wide in shock, but he could not see anything. He could only feel the demon cultivator¡¯s qi leaving his body and entering Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body.


    Lu Yanzhou actually sucked the demon cultivator¡¯s qi from his body!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t take advantage of him!


    Xie Chengze was completely confused for a moment.


    Then when he came back to his senses, he realized one thing ¨C his qi was water qi, which was very gentle in nature and would not cause much harm to Lu Yanzhou, but the demon cultivator¡¯s qi was different.


    Lu Yanzhou had taken the demon cultivator¡¯s qi into his body. If he couldn¡¯t suppress it, he¡¯s afraid something bad will happen!


    Xie Chengze subconsciously wanted to stop it.


    If Lu Yanzhou absorbed his qi, he could really stop it, but what Lu Yanzhou absorbed was not his qi.


    Not only that, the plunder technique Lu Yanzhou practiced was so powerful that as the recipient, there was no way he could stop it.


    Fear arose in Xie Chengze¡¯s heart. He thought he was the one who help Lu Yanzhou today, but if this continued¡­it would be Lu Yanzhou who helped him instead!


    When the time comes, it won¡¯t be him who dies, but Lu Yanzhou!


    Lu Yanzhou was so anxious before, he thought Lu Yanzhou wanted to improve his strength, but in the end¡­that, did Lu Yanzhou really want to help him? Want to help him heal his injury?


    Does Lu Yanzhou really like him?


    Xie Chengze wanted to stop this cultivation, but he couldn¡¯t.


    He quickly calmed down and began to use his divine sense to suppress the speed at which the demon cultivator¡¯s qi entered Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body.


    Lu Yanzhou really felt that the qi came too much all at once, which was a bit unbearable, as a result, Xie Chengze suddenly helped.


    It was just enough to allow him to slowly conquer those qi.


    Lu Yanzhou hugged Xie Chengze and continued to operate the technique.


    Lu Yanzhou thought that this dual cultivation could be completed in a day or two.


    But because Xie Chengze had been working hard to suppress the demon cultivator¡¯s qi and delay the speed of the qi entering his body, the dual cultivation this time lasted much longer than he thought.


    Almost half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    It¡¯s too awesome. This is his first time doing it for half a month in one swoop.


    Lu Yanzhou absorbed all the demon cultivator¡¯s qi into his body. The qi in his body kept increasing. He suppressed it and formed a golden core, which in turn condensed into a nascent soul.


    Normally, during the plundering process, most of the qi will dissipate, but he was different. All the qi was imprisoned in his body with his divine sense, so he could control it all!


    Thus, he instantly possessed that demon cultivator¡¯s strength, so his current cultivation is on par with Xie Chengze¡¯s.


    Normally speaking, one would have to go through a thunder tribulation to form a golden core or become a nascent soul, but probably because his divine sense was very strong, the thunder tribulation didn¡¯t appear.


    Because the demon cultivator violated the laws of nature, he had to experience the heaven thunder punishment several times. However, neither he nor the original owner of this body had done anything bad, so there was no heaven punishment.


    Lu Yanzhou just¡­successfully became a nascent soul cultivator.


    No, actually it wasn¡¯t that smooth.


    Other nascent soul cultivators, after experiencing the thunder tribulation from forming the golden core and their nascent soul, their bodies have been tempered to the point where they can be called steel and iron bones, so they can naturally accommodate such qi.


    However, Lu Yanzhou was just a foundation establishment cultivator before.


    Even from the early stage of foundation establishment to the late stage of foundation establishment, he had to take his time considering his body¡¯s endurance, let alone from the foundation establishment to the nascent soul.


    Even though Lu Yanzhou had made a lot of preparations, and even though the time for plundering was extended from a day or two to half a month because of Xie Chengze¡¯s help, he still couldn¡¯t bear it.


    When all the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in Xie Chengze¡¯s body entered his body¡­Lu Yanzhou ended the plundering technique and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Lu Yanzhou!¡± Xie Chengze, who finally took control, hugged the person who fainted on top of him, feeling a little panicked.


    Lu Yanzhou no longer had the energy to speak.


    He is now using all his energy to control his qi to repair his body.


    It¡¯s just that¡­every time he just repaired it, his body would be damaged by the powerful qi¡­


    He could only take his time. Fortunately, after experiencing the erosion of qi again and again, his body became stronger and stronger, similar to other people¡¯s muscles and bones that have been struck by lightning.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation. He was so distraught that he cast a spell on himself, using his qi to form clothes, he immediately lifted the formation covering the entire valley and called the sect master and the others.

 CH 228

    After receiving Xie Chengze¡¯s summon, the sect master and co. quickly appeared in front of Xie Chengze.


    ¡°Shizu, are your injuries healed?¡± The sect master looked excited and asked as soon as She saw Xie Chengze.


    All the killing arrays in this valley have been removed, and the person who did this is, unsurprisingly, Xie Chengze.


    What does this mean? This means that Xie Chengze can already use his qi!


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Xie Chengze didn¡¯t have time to say more and asked immediately, ¡°Do you have any medicine on your body that can heal injuries?¡±


    Xie Chengze had already checked Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation. Lu Yanzhou was unconscious because his body cannot withstand the overwhelming qi.


    If there is a real treasure that could heal his injuries and temper his body, he would feel much better.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The trio immediately took out some pills.


    Xie Chengze waved his hand, collected all the spirit pills, and walked into the room.


    ¡°Shizu¡­¡± The sect master and co was a little worried, so they followed him and saw Lu Yanzhou lying on the bed inside. Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body was still tumbling with powerful qi.


    What¡¯s going on here? What happened to Lu Yanzhou? The three leaders didn¡¯t know what was going on. Then they saw Xie Chengze going to Lu Yanzhou, taking out the spirit pills, holding Lu Yanzhou in his arms and feeding him some.


    The sect master looked at this scene in shock.


    Xie Chengze has always been aloof and cold. In addition to cultivating, he rarely talks to others.


    After he was injured, he has been living alone in the valley.


    It was already unexpected that Xie Chengze let Lu Yanzhou stay in the valley before. Now he treats Lu Yanzhou like this¡­this¡­


    The sect master thought about it for a moment, then finally only came up with the word ¡®gentle¡¯.


    Her family shizu can actually be gentle?


    Wait a minute! The sect master suddenly discovered something was wrong!


    Lu Yanzhou was covered with a quilt, but under the quilt¡­he didn¡¯t seem to be wearing any clothes?


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s clothes were scattered nearby!


    And their shizu¡¯s neck is now covered with ambiguous marks!


    The three leaders are all golden core cultivators and have lived for hundreds of years, they naturally know what is going on in the scene in front of them.


    The sect master asked: ¡°Shizu, you and Lu Yanzhou¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze sat next to Lu Yanzhou in silence for a moment before saying: ¡°I used dual cultivation to transfer the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in my body into Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body.¡±


    Lu Yanzhou is the one who thought of this method, however, Lu Yanzhou now uses a plundering method, so this could not be known to the sect master and others.


    If they knew that Lu Yanzhou had cultivated the plundering technique, they would definitely have an opinion on Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know how to explain it, so he simply took the blame himself.


    The leader froze for a moment: ¡°Shizu¡­you¡­¡±


    The expressions of the other two golden core cultivators also changed again and again, which was extraordinarily wonderful.


    Their shizu actually used this method to treat his injuries¡­No wonder they were asked to guard outside the valley, but Lu Yanzhou was left inside.


    But¡­now that the demon cultivator¡¯s qi has entered Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body, can Lu Yanzhou still survive?


    For Qingyun Sect, it was the most cost-effective thing to sacrifice a cultivator like Lu Yanzhou, who had lost his spirit root, to save Xie Chengze.


    However, this matter¡­what shizu did was really not kind.


    This is no different from plundering Lu Yanzhou!


    How could their noble and benevolent shizu do such a thing!


    The sect master didn¡¯t know what to do for a moment, but when she looked up, she saw Xie Chengze hugging Lu Yanzhou. His usually expressionless face was full of confusion and worry.


    What on earth happened to Zhizu? He didn¡¯t seem to want anything to happen to Lu Yanzhou?


    Then why did he do this?


    ¡°Shizu, how is Lu Yanzhou?¡± the sect master asked.


    ¡°He¡¯ll be fine,¡± said Xie Chengze, ¡°Go find more healing pills for injuries.¡±


    In those previous hundred years, Xie Chengze was seriously injured and had a hard time recovering. He was unable to contribute to Qingyun Sect, so he was unwilling to use Qingyun Sect¡¯s resources, and only occasionally collected things that are suitable for him but cannot be used by others.


    But now that he has recovered from his injuries and can afford it, asking for some spirit pills from the sect is nothing.


    The sect master responded and immediately went out to get it.


    The remaining two golden core cultivators stood there, looking at Xie Chengze and Lu Yanzhou awkwardly, not knowing what to do.


    The noble and benevolent shizu in their hearts actually dual cultivate with a disciple and sent the demon cultivator¡¯s qi in his body into the disciple. This¡­


    Not only were these golden core cultivators speechless, but also Lu Yanzhou.


    Lu Yanzhou¡¯s bones and skin kept breaking and repeating, making him unable to move or speak.


    However, he could hear the voice around him.


    Xie Chengze suddenly took such a big blame, so he was quite speechless.


    His AZe is too simple! Even words that would lead to misunderstandings like this were said so frankly!


    He must get better soon, lest others regard his AZe as a scum.


    Xie Chengze didn¡¯t know what Lu Yanzhou was thinking.


    He stayed with Lu Yanzhou, but his mood still hadn¡¯t calmed down.


    Because he discovered that Lu Yanzhou had cultivated the demon plundering technique, he felt that Lu Yanzhou must have ulterior motives for him, which he really shouldn¡¯t have done.


    Lu Yanzhou may have practiced that technique just to keep his strength from declining!


    No matter what¡­now that Lu Yanzhou has reached this point, he must be sincere to him.


    Holding Lu Yanzhou¡¯s hand tightly, Xie Chengze leaned down and kissed Lu Yanzhou.


    In the past, he would suppress his feelings, but not anymore.


    The two golden core cultivators: ¡°¡­¡± I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a shizu!


    The sect master who came back with the pills: ¡°¡­¡± Why did shizu do such a thing? He hasn¡¯t gone crazy, is he?


    Xie Chengze ignored them, took the healing pills, and fed it to Lu Yanzhou again.


    Qi can also heal injuries, but the qi in Lu Yanzhou¡¯s body is too much and too chaotic. If he uses his qi to heal Lu Yanzhou¡¯s injuries, it will only harm Lu Yanzhou.


    Xie Chengze could only wait quietly, feeding Lu Yanzhou pills from time to time.


    The three leaders stood nearby, always feeling that they were a bit redundant, but Xie Chengze didn¡¯t speak, so they couldn¡¯t leave.


    ¡°Are there any more pills?¡± Xie Chengze asked again.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go look for it.¡± After the sect master finished speaking, she left again.


    Her pills for treating injuries have been given to Xie Chengze, but other golden core cultivators should have some pills.


    No matter what, they can¡¯t just watch Lu Yanzhou die.


    The sect master went around asking for healing pills.


    ¡°Senior sister, why do you suddenly want so many healing pills?¡± Everyone was confused.


    The sect master said: ¡°It¡¯s not me, it¡¯s Shizu who wants it.¡±


    ¡°Shizu¡¯s injury is serious?¡±


    ¡°No¡­you will know after a while,¡± said the sect master.


    Could she talk about Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze¡¯s matter? Obviously not!


    The sect master could only answer vaguely, then return to the valley with a bunch of pills.


    Although what shizu did to Lu Yanzhou was immoral, he should not be completely unaffectionate towards him.


    She just hope that Lu Yanzhou is fine.


    Of course Lu Yanzhou was fine. If he had relied on himself, his recovery would have been slower, but with the pills that Xie Chengze had been feeding him, his body began to recover at an extremely fast rate.


    Of course, it will take several days to fully recover.


    At the same time, the outskirts of Qingyun Sect.


    Qingyun Sect occupies a large area. Those center mountains are full of qi and are used by the golden core cultivators as residence. The inner disciples of the Qingyun Sect also live there.


    The mountains in the middle are places like martial arts halls. Most of the outer disciples live and cultivate here.


    The outermost mountains are for ordinary people who are attached to Qingyun Sect. Of course, some outer disciples in the Qi refining stage will also settle here because they know that there is no hope of breaking through.


    There are large fields, mountains, forests, villages and towns here.


    Wei Yuzheng was sitting on a tree in a mountain forest, communicating with the birds standing on the branches in front of him.


    He originally chose Qingyun Sect to join because he had left some treasures where Qingyun Sect was located.


    As a result, after coming to Qingyun Sect, he discovered that Xie Chengze¡¯s divine sense was very strong, reaching the late nascent soul stage!


    Fortunately, he later made extensive inquiries and found out that Xie Chengze was seriously injured, so he felt relieved.


    From time to time, Xie Chengze would use his divine sense to investigate the situation of Qingyun Sect. However, his divine sense could not cover the entire Qingyun Sect, at least the outer areas of Qingyun Sect were where Xie Chengze could not see.


    After a fight with the mysterious man who suddenly appeared that day, Wei Yuzheng hid here where Xie Chengze¡¯s divine senses could not reach.


    He tried various methods to find out the identity of the mysterious man, but unfortunately he couldn¡¯t find it, but he learned some other information.


    For example, Xie Chengze¡­He seemed to be suffering from an old injury and was about to die.


    Qingyun Sect¡¯s sect master has been guarding Xie Chengze for half a month, and now she is looking for pills everywhere. Something must have happened to Xie Chengze!


    Wei Yuzheng looked in the direction of the valley where Xie Chengze was, feeling a little pity.


    He has no way to get close to Xie Chengze now. If he could get close to Xie Chengze and get Xie Chengze¡¯s cultivation¡­


    After Wei Yuzheng was reincarnated and recultivated, he originally wanted to concentrate on practicing the righteous way to avoid incurring heaven¡¯s punishment again.


    But his physical aptitude is not good enough. If he only practices the orthodox method, he will probably stop at foundation establishment until his death. He can only think of other ways.


    Wei Yuzheng¡¯s origin is not simple. He was a famous demon lord thousands of years ago, the legendary amorous demon lord.


    Back then, he turned the entire cultivation world upside down with just him. After that, the cultivation world¡¯s qi became much thinner, and the overall strength also dropped a lot.


    Everyone thought that he was smashed to pieces by the heaven thunder, but they didn¡¯t know that he used a secret method to make his lovers bear the punishment for him, so he retained his soul. After dormant for a thousand years, he was reborn.


    Nowadays, the strongest people in the cultivation world are those nascent soul. Wei Yuzheng doesn¡¯t take these people seriously at all, but recently¡­


    Thinking of the person who suddenly came to attack him a few days ago, Wei Yuzheng frowned, recalling it again.


    That man was very powerful and used all his killing moves when facing him. He was probably his enemy from his previous life.


    It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t know who it is!


    Lu Yanzhou didn¡¯t know that Wei Yuzheng had misunderstood.


    Xie Chengze persisted in feeding him pills, speeding up his recovery. His body gradually improved and his qi became stable.


    Then the sect master and the others realized something was not right: ¡°shizu, Lu Yanzhou, he¡­he¡­¡±


    Xie Chengze had already discovered Lu Yanzhou¡¯s situation, and immediately said: ¡°He advanced to the nascent soul stage.¡±


    The sect master and co said: ¡°!!!¡±
