[Chapter 114]: Candlelight and smiles

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xun was so frightened by her that he shrank back, avoiding her salty pig hands.

Look at it, why are you still getting started?

Also grabbed the waistband of his trousers...... Something is wrong with you! He looked at Ding Xuezhu with wary eyes.

"Ahem... Don't think too much about it, Xiao Lu. Ding Xuezhu blinked, coughed, and explained: "It's wrong, I'll help you sort it out." ā€

"Don't lie to me." Lu Xun shook his head.

Can you still wear the wrong suit in a suit?

When I'm a minor child, right?

"Really, look at this."

She stretched out her little hand, pointed to Lu Xun's waist, and said:

"Although I know that many people can't wear suits without belts, the belt buckle will be raised against the waistcoat, causing the lower edge of the waistcoat to not fit the pants, so it will lose the effect of a very clean, flat and elegant three-piece suit.

You can tie a belt without wearing a vest, but if you wear it, you don't pay attention to it, which affects the beauty of the suit. ā€

"Really?" Lu Xun frowned, "I found ten people wearing suits on the street, and nine of them were wearing belts, I didn't think there was any problem." ā€

The belt served as a very practical tool, both as a fastening trouser and as an ornament.

"That's because they're not particular." Ding Xuezhu wrapped his hands around his chest and said, "Wearing a three-piece suit, it is best to fix the pants with a strap, which can not only freely adjust the front and back gears, but also relieve the pressure on the waist, which is not only beautiful and tidy, but also convenient and practical." ā€

"Bib pants?" Lu Xun frowned and shook his head, "It's too old-fashioned." ā€

"There are also non-old-fashioned ones." She chuckled, "You have a built-in adjustment buckle on the waistband of your trousers, so you can use it to tighten the waistband without the need for additional fixing tools." ā€

Hearing this, Lu Xun looked down, it was true.

It deserves to be a high-end suit, and it is perfectly designed.

"I'll help you get the leash pumped." She started working again.

"No, no, no, I'll do it myself!" Lu Xun quickly dodged back, not wanting her to help.

He tightened the adjuster to secure his trousers, then opened the belt buckle and pulled the belt out.

Crunch~

At this moment, suddenly, the door opened.

A middle-aged man from Angzang walked in.

"Haha, Xuezhu, Dad, I'm here again...... Uh, huh?! ā€

Ding Zehai's voice came to an abrupt end.

He stared blankly at the two people in the office, who were facing each other at close range.

first looked at his daughter Ding Xuezhu, then looked at the handsome young man named Lu Xun, and finally his eyes fell on the belt in the hand of the stick guy...... Ding Zehai's expression gradually became sluggish.

"That's... You go on, haha, go on, when I didn't come, hahaha, you must continue! ā€

After he reacted, the expression on his face became extremely exciting, his face was full of red light, excited and excited.

Before the two could explain, he ran out of the house, muttering "I'm going to hold my grandson" and "The Ding family has a future...... and so on, while quickly slamming the door shut.

A man and a woman in the house: "......"

"Go on with what?" Lu Xun scratched his head and looked at Ding Xuezhu, "Did Uncle Ding misunderstand something?" I'll explain. ā€

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about this stinky old man!" She gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes breathing fire, "Ignore him, just ignore him." ā€

You're a girl, I didn't give birth to me until I was a hundred years old.

Your daughter is only 27, and you want to hug your grandson?

Hold a fart and dream your spring and autumn dreams!

**************

Jinghai City, District 32.

Detached old house, new home!

"Dad, do you really feel well?" Maggie Tse circled around her father, touching her little hands left and right, full of curiosity.

Xie Zhenhai's body is a very high-level biomimetic body, although the internal structure is still a large proportion of mechanical components, and the whole body is made of light alloy bones.

But with the exception of bones, most of the rest of the body tissues are biomimetic.

For example: artificial nerves, bionic tendons, bionic joints, electronic bionic eyes, artificial skin, response coordinators, ......

Half-mechanical, half-bionic.

From the outside, he looks exactly the same as his body three years ago, and if you look at it alone, you can't see the difference at all, even the hair has been restored, not a single one is missing.

And, not only in terms of mes, but this bionic body is also very awesome in terms of practicality.

It has the same tactile perception as humans, runs fast, has infinite strength, quick reactions, excellent eyesight, and wears very little even if it is strenuous exercise, and has super performance.

With just a small battery, it can run for more than 50 years with excellent battery life.

After all, it's a high-tech bionic body worth 60 million.

It is not a clumsy imitation of the human body, but an optimization, or even transcendence.

In the entire Jinghai City, how many people dare to say that they are "worth" 60 million?

Xie Zhenhai has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks very handsome.

"It's really fully recovered, and this new body is amazing."

He looked at his daughter lovingly, reached out and touched her face, suddenly his nose was sour, and his eyes were a little moist, so he hurriedly turned off the corresponding function, and his mood quickly adjusted to normal.

Maggie Xie grabbed her father's hand and put her palm on her face, and she could clearly feel the same body temperature and pulse as a human being.

"Hmm~ I can really feel the body temperature, hehe." She smiled, very happy.

"I've worked hard all these years, I can remind you, Xie Zhenhai, the 60 million is borrowed, and I have to pay it back to the child in the future." Jiang Jingfei walked over and said with a straight face, "In the past three years, Xiao Lu has worked tirelessly in the black clinic, working while going to school, and he can't even catch up with a hot meal, we already owe him too much." ā€

"Hmm." Xie Zhenhai nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I understand." I will find an anonymous online part-time job as soon as possible, work hard, and make up for what I owe Xiao Lu all these years. ā€

These words, the couple should not have said them in front of their daughter, as if they didn't treat Lu Xun as a family member, and they had to make the "debt" clear.

But 60 million, counting the cost of surgery, and the medical expenses of the previous three years, it is almost 70 million!

What is the concept of 70 million for a civilian family?

The Xie family did adopt Lu Xun for nearly fourteen years, from childhood to adulthood.

But over the years, their investment and expenses on Lu Xun have been far less than a fraction of this astronomical amount.

This is a great kindness.

A debt is a debt, and it is not a sentence of "family affection" that can be fooled.

Xiao Lu may not care about the money, but they can't care less.

These words were also deliberately said to Maggie Tse.

Brothers, settle accounts.

What's more, Lu Xun is a nephew, an adopted son, and Xiaoyu's cousin, not a parent.

That's even clearer.

Xie Zhenhai and Jiang Jingfei can't take Xiao Lu's contribution as a matter of course and righteousness...... Xiaoyu can't either.

Debt reciprocation, debt repayment of money.

This is a matter of course.

How much can you pay back? Can it be paid off? This is not the primary concern.

The most important thing is the attitude!

"Don't worry, Dad, I... I will study hard in the future, be admitted to a prestigious school, work hard after graduation, and return the money I owe to my brother. ā€

Maggie Xie is not a child anymore, she is very sensible and determined.

"It's not just money, your brother has lost three years of youth, three years of hard work, and... Those risks. Jiang Jingfei pursed her lips, touched Xiaoyu's head, and said softly, "These can't be forgotten, you have to remember them forever." ā€

She obviously knew better.

The old octopus died for 60 million.

My nephew was covered in bruises for the 60 million... He almost lost his life.

But I won't go into details, because Lu Xun agreed with her to keep it secret.

"Well, I understand." Maggie Xie nodded with a serious expression.

Crunch~

While the family of three was talking, the door opened.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time, looked over, and then froze.

"I came back from work, it was raining halfway, but I borrowed an umbrella...... Eh, why do you think of me like that? ā€

Lu Xun put down the umbrella, and when he got up, he found that the three of them were looking at him with shocked expressions, and their expressions were full of shock.

"You're my brother?" Maggie Xie was a little incredulous and called out tentatively.

Boom~

Oh~ This familiar brain meltdown.

It's confirmed, it's indeed her brother.

"You're in a suit... Not bad. Uncle's eyes lit up, he was knowledgeable, and he could see at a glance that his nephew's suit was worth a lot of money.

He got up and walked over, patted Lu Xun's muscular arm, and exclaimed: "Haha, not bad, yes, awesome, Xiao Lu is also a mature man now." ā€

My aunt's eyes also bloomed, and she circled around Lu Xun, and her mouth kept "tsk".

This kid, who is young, didn't expect that after putting on a high-end suit, a "reliable adult male" aura came to his face.

Tough guy in a suit!

"Brother, where did you steal it? Or rented? You're going on a blind date? Xiao Yumei's eyes were round.

Boom!

Another brain breakdown.

"My boss gave it to me, but I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it." Lu Xun explained.

"The female boss of Baoqi Pavilion?" My aunt immediately became alert.

"Yes." Lu Xun nodded, there was nothing to hide.

He had been working in the Treasure Pavilion for almost a month, and he had already told them about it...... Of course, I haven't said anything about the underwater ruins, and I'm about to talk about it.

My aunt and uncle looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"Ahem, Xiao Lu, there are many temptations in the adult world, I thought that with your mature heart, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong." Aunt said.

"Yes, it's a good thing for young people to have great ambitions, but don't think about taking shortcuts, maybe you don't think it's okay now, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice, but you will definitely regret it later, the more you think about it, the more you lose." My uncle was there to help.

The two hinted violently, but the words were too vague for Xiaoyu to hear.

Female bosses, sacrifices, shortcuts......

What are you talking about? Her eyes were confused, and she felt that she was not on the same channel as them.

"Don't worry, don't think about it."

Lu Xun instantly understood what the two elders meant.

is reminding him to work hard in a down-to-earth manner, don't think about relying on the beautiful female boss to get to the position, and the status obtained through shortcuts is not stable, and he can't keep it.

He laughed and cried, explaining:

"It's really just a gift, I'll find a chance to give her a gift in return, rest assured, I can have today's achievements all thanks to my own efforts, I know better than anyone the price of taking shortcuts, not what you think."

Call~

The couple breathed a sigh of relief.

Maggie Tse: ???

"What the hell are you talking about?" She couldn't bear it anymore, put her little hand on her waist, and asked angrily, "There are only four people under this roof, and you guys are still engaged in encrypted channels?" It's too much, what is the password? ā€

"The little ones are going." Lu Xun said lightly, "Just a minor, don't get involved in the affairs of adults." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Good guy, aren't you also an adult today? It's so loadable! Maggie Xie hated itchy.

The vignette ends.

Xie Zhenhai hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Lu, tell you something..."

He talked about his plans to find a job.

I used to be a crippled person and had no choice, but now that I have recovered, I must create a new source of income for my family as soon as possible, and I can't be a useless burden anymore.

However, when Lu Xun heard half of it, he couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt:

"Stop, stop, stop talking. Uncle, in your case, as soon as you are reported, you will be fined a huge amount, what kind of job are you looking for? Part-time job without a contract? There's no need to work hard to earn that little money. ā€

"What little money? I—" Xie Zhenhai was about to defend himself.

Syllable!

Lu Xun directly threw the two contracts on the table: "Come on, come on, look at it." Can you earn money from these two contracts after 5,000 years of black work? ā€

The couple looked at each other and opened the two contracts in disbelief.

Hiss –

The next moment, my uncle and aunt shook their hands at the same time, and they all gasped.

A monthly salary of 1.2 million for one year?

Plus a short-term contract with a daily salary of 50 million?

For a while, the two of them were messy and their brains were down.

"I'm not trying to show off." Lu Xun patiently explained, "I just want to say that just like the former owner of this old mansion, one of the sons of the Zhu family has developed, and he directly sold the old mansion and took the whole family to live an elite life in the inner city, so that his struggle is more meaningful and his life is more fulfilling." ā€

"I am more capable than the son of the Zhu family, but I let my family work hard and work hard, and I am tired and tired just to earn those three melons and two dates...... Are you kidding? ā€

"Although I earn 50 million a day and love my family, I can't let my family live a rich and good life without worrying about food and clothing? 怋

Isn't he stupid*?

"Just stay steady and in peace." Lu Xun said with a smile and said to his uncle and aunt, "Enjoy the retirement life in advance." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

My uncle and aunt were silent.

… Well, Maggie Tse has been silent, after all, minors can only stay aside.

"Alas~"

After being silent for a long time, Xie Zhenhai sighed, and immediately showed a relieved smile... The nose is pantothenic again.

My aunt wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she was also full of emotion in her heart.

Children grow up so fast that they are caught off guard.

"Alright, I'll pack up and leave in the early morning." Lu Xun said, "I originally wanted to have a meal with you to celebrate my uncle's recovery, but the time is unfortunate, let's talk about it when I come back from a business trip." The three of you should discuss it and celebrate. ā€

Xie Zhenhai lay down for three years.

Now that he is recovering, he must accompany his family well and make up for the regrets of these years.

They actually have a plan.

"We want to travel and play for a few days as a family of four, but my brother has a job and can't go, so it's not satisfying." Xiao Yu sighed.

"Haha, it's okay, you guys play yours, my business trip this time is actually equivalent to traveling abroad." Lu Xun smiled and asked casually, "Uncle, where are you going to play?" ā€

"Nine Peaks City." Maggie Xie replied loudly, "Scenic spots!" ā€

Well?

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered one thing.

"Well, you wait for me."

He turned and went upstairs to his room.

Soon, he came back and handed the three tickets to his uncle: "It just so happens that Kong Zihan is going to hold a concert in Jiuyue City, you just have time to play, take it and play." ā€

"Wow!"

Xie Manyu jumped up happily: "Brother, you still have such a good thing hidden?" Kong Zihan's diva concert ticket, or the triple seat in the front row? My God, can you predict the prophet? ā€

What a coincidence.

The three uncles picked and chose to go to Jiuyue City.

The quiz prize that Lu Xun won from the history teacher was exactly three tickets, one was not much, and one was not much. Kong Tianhou's concert was held in Jiuyue City.

…… This is providence.

God, I also gave a congratulatory gift to my uncle's recovery.

"Alright, I'll go upstairs and pack my bags first." Lu Xun glanced at the time and said, "I'll have to catch a flight in a while." ā€

"I'll clean it up for you, Xiao Lu." My aunt stood up and was about to follow her upstairs.

"No, I'll just clean it up myself, and you can continue talking."

He politely declined, and went upstairs.

Half an hour later.

Lu Xun walked down with a huge suitcase in one hand.

I found that the living room was dark.

Click~

Suddenly, the sound equipment played, and the melody of the music, which had been familiar to both of them for their entire lives, began to flow.

"Happy Birthday to You~"

"Happy Birthday to You~"

"Good luck ......"

Maggie Tse was holding a cake full of candles, singing and walking, accompanied by her uncle and aunt, smiling and applauding slowly.

The warm candlelight is reflected on Xiaoyu's bright pupils.

Her smile warmed the cool night, and her voice was sweet:

"Happy 18th birthday, brother!"

"Make a wish, Xiao Lu." Aunt said softly.

"Make a wish or blow out the candles?" Xie Zhenhai scratched his head, "It's over, I've been lying down for three years, I seem to have become stupid, hahaha." ā€

"Stupid Dad, of course I made a wish first and then blew out the candles!"

"Come on, Xiao Lu, the flight is not in a hurry, right? Let's have a cake first. ā€

……

This situation and this scene are deeply moving.

For a moment, Lu Xun didn't even want to go to the Naga Clan...

Even though he was already a super-powerful creature of the 8th order of the lord, his heart was still extremely attached to the candlelight tonight...... and smiles.
