Bai Weiwei’s gleaming gaze turned towards him again .
Lu Zixi felt both mentally and physically invigorated . He scoffed lightly . “It’s just a Newcomer Award . I’ve been chosen to be the film emperor for three years . ”
Yes, the first year was the Newcomer Award, the second year was a gap year, and in the third to fifth years, he was the film emperor .
Then he retired .
He was, quite simply, a legend in the entertainment circle .
Bai Weiwei tilted her head . Her face somewhat flushed pink, she suddenly said in a sweet and soft voice: “Gege, you’re so amazing . ”
This sentence was so sweet it could shatter his reason by a bit .
He said: “It’s just average . It’s like how you two just acted with each other . That pretty boy didn’t act well enough . Neither his mannerisms nor his lines are good enough . ”
Bai Weiwei’s soft and meng face stared at him blankly .
Full of worship and devotion .
Under this gaze, Lu Zixi felt that he could pluck the stars from the skies, not to mention acting out the explanations .
He suddenly said: “Say your line . Let’s act it out . ”
Bai Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then said softly: “Gege, you only came now to see me . ”
The expression in Lu Zixi’s eyes suddenly changed . The tranquility in his dark eyes shattered, and the joy in his heart overflowed .
From the tips of his brows to the corners of his eyes, all to see his most beloved sister’s smile .
He suddenly bent down, neatly and simply picking her up .
Bai Weiwei yelped in surprise . He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered: “Put your arms around my neck, like you did a little earlier . ”
Her sensitive ears turned red as his gentle breath brushed aross .
Lu Zixi’s eyes darkened .
She had already stretched out her arms1 and placed them gently on his shoulders .
He showed a smile full of heroic spirit and said willfully: “Did I not finish winning the war, then rush over without rest to come see you?”
The young General Cheng, his heroic spirit overflowing .
At this moment, the clothes on Lu Zixi’s body seemed to change into the traditional general’s armor .
Both the immersive feeling and charm were astounding .
Bai Weiwei also seemed to be immersed in the role . Her eyes seemed to be full of irrepressible yearning, sorrow, and joy .
All sorts of complex emotions, tangled together .
Finally, she buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice: “I don’t want you to fight . I only want gege to be by my side, loving me and taking care of me . ”
These words didn’t seem to be an act .
But rather her true feelings .
She even whispered again, “I only want gege to be by my side…”
He suddenly remembered . When she had been abused, she had once drawn a picture of a gege to keep her company .
As though that way, there would be someone who could protect her .
And save her from that terrible abuse and suffering .
Although he had lost his mother in his childhood, the entire family had revolved around him .
He had lived a luxurious2, unparalleled3 life .
But because she was abused, she had no food or drink, and she had been hospitalized several times due to serious injuries .
Lu Zixi suddenly felt that she had acknowledged him as her brother rather easily .
Was it because she was already so desperate that, for any random person4 who saved her .
She would give herself up to follow them and call them gege?
Thinking to here, Lu Zixi couldn’t stop himself from hugging her more tightly . He stared fiercely at the two men present at the scene .
The innocent An Qian and Xiao Yi felt a chill down their backs .
It felt as though Lu Zixi wanted to swallow them both up .
Suddenly, he took Bai Weiwei and led her out . Xiao Yi expressed his worry . “That role of the brother…”
Lu Zixi’s footsteps paused, and he looked back with a faint smile . “I’ll do it . ”
How could he not see Xiao Yi’s attempt to stimulate him5?
1: The raws describe her arms as 藕粉, which is like lotus root starch . I’m unsure if the author is trying to say that her arms are white and fair in color (like the powder form) or that they’re soft and loose/flexible (like the liquid-y form)? Braised lotus roots are delicious, by the way . ↩
