Chapter 792: Anger From Embarrassment
“There are dirty clothes in there; you should take them out and wash them first,” Jiang Yao said. “You definitely won’t have time to wash clothes for the next three days. I have nothing to do now, so I can help you wash them. You’ll be busy when you go back to the army, so you won’t need to find the time to wash the dirty clothes.”
“Why would I be busy? It’s only two sets of clothes. Sit here and talk to us.” After Lu Xingzhi put his luggage away, he held Jiang Yao’s hand and went outside.
Lu Yuqing stood there as she turned to Jiang Yao and said, “Based on my understanding of my younger brother, there must be something shameful in his luggage that he doesn’t want you to see.”
Lu Yuqing’s casual words drew Lu Xingzhi’s furious roar.
“Lu Yuqing, shut up!”
“He’s so angry from embarrassment—so scary!” Lu Yuqing raised her eyebrows at Jiang Yao. Then she turned around with a smile and returned to the outer room to sit with Gu Haoyu.
“Sister Yuqing, if Xingzhi gets angry, he will kick you out.” Gu Haoyu poured a cup of tea for Lu Yuqing and smiled. “Even if you are his biological sister, he can still be merciless.”
“I know; it won’t be the first time anyway. I just think it’s interesting to see him angry, right?” Lu Yuqing laughed. “He has been acting like a mature young man since he was young. As his elder sister, I didn’t even have the chance to tease him. It’s quite fun to make up for it now.”
Lu Xingzhi heard Lu Yuqing’s words when he held Jiang Yao’s hand as they walked outside. He had tried to keep it in for a long time before he told Lu Yuqing to get lost. If she were not his sister, how would she have the chance to sit and chat with Gu Haoyu?

“Have the test results come out yet?” Gu Haoyao decided to change the topic to diffuse the situation between the siblings.
Jiang Yao had not had the chance to ask Lu Xingzhi about that, so she was relieved to hear Gu Haoyao’s question. She even looked at Lu Xingzhi carefully as she wanted to observe his expression. However, in the next second, his large palm landed softly on her forehead—it covered her line of sight.
Then, she heard his voice from above her head. “You have no confidence in your man?”
“Judging from his tone, he must have passed the test.” Lu Yuqing smiled.
“Hmm.” Lu Xingzhi nodded. “If I were to rank second, no one would dare to be first.”
He was so arrogant that he did not even try to hide it. However, those three people believed him.
“Zhu Shisan came to Nanjiang City personally, and he wanted to see both you and Jiang Yao through Director Ye. However, I blocked him,” Gu Haoyu said. “It’s been two days; I think I’ve suppressed his arrogance enough.”
“There’s no need to see him,” Lu Xingzhi said. “Director Ye told the Zhu family that if they don’t want Zhu Qianlan in Nanjiang City’s jail for the next two years, they should disown her. She is not to set foot in Z Country for the rest of her life or let me see her again.”
Lu Yuqing gasped when she heard her brother’s words. She turned around and looked at him. Somehow she felt as if she could no longer recognize her younger brother.
He was arrogant in the army because he had excellent abilities. He was proud even if he was not in it. That was how capable her brothers were.
The Lu family had a great background, but it was limited to that small city. No one would know them outside the city.
Gu Haoyu thought about it for a moment. “I’ll call my family and ask them to come forward.” If they wanted to force someone out of their family, it was probably easier to get his family involved.

RE: DEVTHOR
From a certain author's perspective, the world he lived in had always been a boring uninteresting place. If asked if he could name one good thing about it, he probably couldn't. Up until forty, he lived in complete isolation and solitude, but he never once regretted or felt dissatisfied about the kind of life he lived. But despite being content with such a lifestyle, it seems some god... or perhaps some busybody devil galavanting about playing pretend god was immensely dissatisfied with the way he lived his life and wanted to play a sick joke on him by sending him back to his first day in high school after he died a mysterious death. Approached by a suspicious red-haired girl shortly after awakening and recognizing where he was, he's abruptly given a second chance at a youth filled with romance. But what does this forty years old man turned sixteen do when confronted with youth? He flips youth off and tells it to take a hike, he's having none of it. If there was some sort of godly existence watching over him from somewhere unknown, their only natural reaction would be to facepalm and question what was wrong with this incompetent romanceless idiot who knew nothing of love. Low fantasy only really starts to appear around volume 3. Presently there are 7 volumes for this series totaling about 850k words.

Softest Lips | on hold
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-"I just kissed the softest lips that god has ever madeAnd I am so in love with the girl to whom these lips he gave." Orianne was a lover girl, whom some considered a hopeless romantic, but she wouldn't dare let the opinions of others knock her off her pivot. She was a young woman who knew what she wanted, and to her, there was nothing wrong with that. She desired the husband, children, dates, random gifts, trips, family outings, and so on.Some would say the reason she can't keep a man is because her standards are high. Which is a ridiculous take. Yes, her standards may be "high," but that's because her father set the tone. She knows what she wants and how she's supposed to be treated, and if you're not giving her that, then you have to go. Out of the few men she has dealt with, she lets them know beforehand what she wants, and it's not her fault that they choose to lead her on under the impression that they wanted the same thing. Another reason men tend to leave her alone is because she's a woman of status, a woman of her word, and a woman about her business. She handles her own and has her own which tends to bruise a man's ego. When asked what she brings to the table, she has a solid answer. She doesn't just bring herself or her body-that's the bonus-she brings communication, trust, comprehension, stability, submission, commitment, and so on. The main question of the matter is, how will Miss. Orianne react when a 19 year old wants to sweep her off her feet and give her everything she wants and more?𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲: me
