Chapter 20 The Ghost in the House Wants It

Lu Zhaoye was truly lost; he was about to lose himself in the gentle embrace of the silly rabbit.

Xu Ziqing's smile is too much!

Under the dim streetlights, Xu Ziqing tilted her head and smiled like a rabbit that had stolen a carrot, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

A smile spread across her eyes, creating a gentle dimple that filled one's heart with sweetness.

Lu Zhaoye was furious. He had long ago ordered that no one should be a sycophant!

Enraged, he punched the bone that resonated with his smile hard, finally calming down.

"Big brother...why aren't you saying anything? Are you unwilling to take me as your little brother?"

Seeing that Lu Zhaoye remained silent, Xu Ziqing felt somewhat frustrated.

"Of course you can, but since you've acknowledged me as your elder brother, shouldn't you listen to your elder brother?"

Lu Zhaoye spoke patiently and persuasively, his eyes still observing the stalker.

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Ziqing nodded excitedly, a smile appearing on her face.

"If your brother says to go east, you're not going west, are you?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright, then come with me now, grab my arm and I'll take you on a long voyage."

Lu Zhaoye stretched out his right arm with a grin, already having a plan to deal with the stalker.

"No...Big brother."

"?"

Lu Zhaoye looked at Xu Ziqing and said, "Oh, little rabbit, you're pretending to be silly to amuse your big brother, aren't you?"

"You still don't believe me?"

"No, big brother, Mom... will worry..." Xu Ziqing said, frowning.

"After graduation, I'll go on a long voyage with my older brother, okay?"

Oh my, little bunny, so you're thinking of getting engaged? That sounds like something out of an idol drama.

But before that, I still want to be a mischievous devil.

"Okay, just kidding. Actually, we went the wrong way. We were talking so much that we didn't notice where we were and we went astray."

Lu Zhaoye planned to shake off this tagalong first, and then come back to get people to deal with him after he dropped Xu Ziqing off at home.

Xu Ziqing's world was originally quiet and beautiful, but it became noisy because of him.

He has finally managed to bring peace back to the world of this silly rabbit.

If someone tries to sabotage it, you'll have to ask them if they agree.

Lu Zhaoye didn't care what impact it would have on him. At worst, he would just have to drop out of school and go home. What was the big deal?

It was just a pile of ruins, so how could it be considered a collapsed building?

"Did we go to the wrong place?"

Xu Ziqing murmured to herself, but she felt she hadn't gone the wrong way; she had the map and route home memorized.

"You've gone the wrong way. Don't you trust your older brother? Besides, you're walking slowly today. Auntie will be worried soon."

Lu Zhaoye glanced at the time; this statement was indeed the truth and not a lie.

Xu Ziqing stopped talking, nodded, and timidly grabbed Lu Zhaoye's right arm.

It feels warm to the touch, just like when I hold my eldest child's back this morning, or even better.

"Alright, I'll have to speed things up a bit, otherwise Auntie will really get anxious..." Lu Zhaoye said with a smile.

He prepared to take Xu Ziqing into these diverse streets.

With his understanding of this place, he could easily shake off that clueless, dim-witted kid behind him.

"Uh-huh!"

"..."

Lu Zhaoye led Xu Ziqing, turning left and right, and in just three minutes they shook off the stalker behind them and returned to the original road.

Xu Ziqing didn't pay attention, she just kept feeling the warmth coming from her palms and felt a strong sense of security.

"Xu Ziqing, we've arrived at the entrance of your residential compound. You can go back now."

Lu Zhaoye swallowed hard and stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

Xu Ziqing nodded, then turned her head and asked.

"Big...Big brother, aren't you going in?"

"Oh right, you don't like me seeing your mother, so I won't go in this time."

I was just kidding. Actually, your neighborhood is too gloomy and dark... how could I possibly see the road?

"Boss, are you afraid of the dark?" Xu Ziqing asked bluntly.

Lu Zhaoye's smile froze. "Baby, you're too smart." "How could that be? Do you think I'm afraid of the dark?"

"Could you walk me home, brother? I'm a little dizzy and can't find my way..."

Actually, Lu Zhaoye really wanted to say no, but baby, you're holding onto your own arm so tightly, is that a question?

Lu Zhaoye had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"it is good."

A smile bloomed on Xu Ziqing's face, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth rippled again in the darkness.

"Brother, why are your arms shaking? Oh right, it is a bit cold tonight."

"Uh, yeah, it's too cold."

"Then I'll stand in front of you to block the wind, so you won't get cold."

"..."

Five minutes later, Lu Zhaoye emerged from the gloomy neighborhood with a flashlight in his hand.

The moment he reached the door, a fierce aura burst forth from his eyes.

My underling found out I'm afraid of the dark and even prepared a flashlight for me. Do I still have to be the boss?

Without hesitation, Lu Zhaoye turned off the flashlight, stuffed it into his backpack, and rushed back.

That brat ruined my image in front of that pretty girl.

You'd better have the supernatural powers of the Great Sage, otherwise I'll definitely teach you a lesson, you stalker.

However, just as Lu Zhaoye was about to fly into a rage for the sake of his beloved, the stalker... suddenly disappeared.

Lu Zhaoye searched back and forth three times but still couldn't find it, so he stood on the street and started ranting.

"Damn it, you'd better not get caught by me."

Lu Zhaoye had to find out about this potential risk, especially the one that could threaten him.

He has been navigating the world for many years, relying on just three things.

He was treacherous, disloyal, and seduced his sister-in-law.

What do you mean by putting righteousness first? I think it's just empty talk about benevolence and morality.

When trouble really comes, the first one to run away is the one who shouts the loudest about loyalty.

Lu Zhaoye waved his hand, it seemed he would have to take Xu Ziqing home every night for the next few days.

We delivered it today, and we'll deliver it again tomorrow under the guise of Fatty and his friends.

But what about the day after tomorrow? What excuse should we use?

Besides, that rabbit isn't stupid; it's in the top ten of its grade, after all. Sending too many rabbits would risk being discovered.

Lu Zhaoye didn't want the little rabbit to know that she was being followed, as it would frighten her.

He walked towards his home, his mind filled with images of Xu Ziqing and the stalker.

It wasn't until Lu Zhaoye reached the entrance of the residential area that he suddenly remembered that there was a devil in his mother's house.

This is getting a bit of a hellish situation, boss. And this guy in the family is even more of a heavyweight.

Lu Zhaoye tiptoed into the apartment building and quietly climbed the stairs, afraid that his evil childhood sweetheart would discover that he had returned.

He first leaned over the door of Qingmei's house across the street and listened for a while. There was hardly any sound; it was eerily quiet.

Lu Zhaoye sensed something was wrong; something unusual must be going on.

He then pressed his head against his front door.

Although I had already taken back Luo Xiao's key, Luo Xiao has been acting so strangely lately, so I have to be careful about this.

Luo Xiao might be going through puberty and wants to have sex.

Lu Zhaoye understood, after all, he also...

I listened carefully for a while by the door, but there was still no sound.

Relieved, Lu Zhaoye carefully inserted his key into the keyhole and gently turned it.

All is well!

Lu Zhaoye entered the dark house, waved his hand lightly, shouted "Yay!" in his mind, and prepared to turn on the lights.

"Let me open it for you."

"Okay, thank you."

"......"
