Chapter 745 - Chapter 745 Chapter 745 Brothers Competing for Favor

Chapter 745: Chapter 745 Brothers Competing for Favor Chapter 745: Chapter 745 Brothers Competing for Favor The Lu family now knew that Qiao Yun was still the principal of Shengyang High School.

Although shocked, they said they would get used to it.

After being startled so many times, they had long since developed immunity.

Apart from Lu Jingzhi feeling a bit of awkwardness, he even wanted to subconsciously escape this reality.

But remembering what the old master had said before, he quickly corrected his mindset.

Lu Jingzhi did not want to end up like his grandfather, regretting his grandmother’s situation for a lifetime.

Thinking of his sister’s upcoming college entrance exam, Lu Jingzhi pondered for a moment, looked out the window, closed his laptop, then picked up his coat, and opened the office door to say to Lu Rui, “Dad, I’m stepping out for a bit, contact me by phone if you need anything.”

“Go ahead,” Lu Rui didn’t ask what he was going to do.

Lu Jingzhi nodded, walked to the parking lot, and opened his car door to get inside.

After getting into the car, he pressed the accelerator and drove towards the suburbs.

…

Qiao Yun returned home from school and upon entering the living room, she saw Lu Jingzhi sitting alone on the sofa.

She paused for a moment, looking left and right, as the rest of the people hadn’t come back yet.

When Lu Jingzhi saw Qiao Yun come back, he subconsciously straightened his back, his hand on his knee tightened slightly, and his Adam’s apple moved nervously up and down.

He had thought of many things to say to his sister, but when the words reached his lips, he didn’t know how to start.

In just that brief moment, Qiao Yun had nodded at Lu Jingzhi and then started heading upstairs.

Every time Lu Jingzhi was alone with her, he behaved awkwardly, seeming very uneasy, so Qiao Yun thoughtfully wanted to give him space.

Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi pursed his lips; if Lu Zhanxing were here, his sister would have already happily gathered with Lu Zhanxing.

His heart suddenly felt a sense of loss; why was there such a big difference in treatment even though they were both brothers?

Lu Jingzhi forced himself to refocus his thoughts, and after collecting his emotions, he called out, “Sister, wait a moment…”

Qiao Yun turned around to look at him, her voice as calm as ever, “Is there something?”

Lu Jingzhi opened his mouth, a perplexed expression on his face, “I have something for you.”

Qiao Yun blinked, “What is it?”

“Just a little trinket,” Lu Jingzhi did not look at Qiao Yun as he reached into his pocket, his voice sounding a bit unnatural, “Since you have your college entrance exam coming up soon, I know the exam might not mean much to you, and you might not even care about it. But regardless, this is your first time taking the college entrance exam…”

Lu Jingzhi said so much but still hadn’t gotten to the point, which made Qiao Yun remind him, “…you can get to the point.”

Lu Jingzhi paused, then pulled his hand out of his pocket, “Last semester, during the final exams, your second brother gave you a peace charm, so this time…”

He brought his hand out of his pocket and opened his palm, revealing a peace charm lying there.

Lu Jingzhi gave a slightly embarrassed smile, “So this time, I also sought a peace charm for you.”

That final exam period, Lu Jingzhi and his family also thought of getting a peace charm together.

But for some reason, he had not given it then.

He had wanted to wait for the day his sister accepted him to give it, but now he realized that waiting for his sister to make the first move would only push her further away, and he would definitely regret it in the future.

Qiao Yun’s eyes fell on the peace charm in Lu Jingzhi’s hand, feeling somewhat surprised. She looked up at Lu Jingzhi, her eyes full of confusion.

Lu Jingzhi’s eyes were complex, and without waiting for Qiao Yun to speak, he awkwardly said, “If you don’t want it, that’s fine. After all, such things are useless to you, being mere superstitions, and given your capabilities, the entrance exam is just a minor thing.”

Qiao Yun glanced again at the slightly wrinkled peace charm in Lu Jingzhi’s palm, then at Lu Jingzhi’s flustered demeanor, and sighed inwardly.

She still raised her hand to accept it, her voice soft as she said, “Thank you.”

It was the first time her sister had willingly accepted something she had given, rather than him forcing it on her.

Lu Jingzhi was first startled, then a wave of joy surged in his heart, even his mouth curved upward, “No need to thank me, I’m glad you like it.”

He changed his tone, “Of course, it’s okay if you don’t like it. Just tell me what you like; big brother will buy it for you.”

Qiao Yun’s lips twitched, and she shook her head, “I don’t dislike it.”

“Is that so, that’s good,” Lu Jingzhi’s smile grew even more evident.

Qiao Yun put the peace charm in her pocket, nodded at Lu Jingzhi, and said, “I’m going upstairs.”

“Okay,” Lu Jingzhi felt like he was floating on air.

As Qiao Yun stepped onto the staircase and reached the corner, she pulled out the peace charm and looked at it before calmly placing it back in her pocket.

Lu Jingzhi giving her such a sincerely sought gift was unexpected for Qiao Yun; she momentarily felt uneasy, uncertain about what to give Lu Jingzhi in return, feeling that nothing would be suitable.

Downstairs.

Having finally given away the thoughtfully prepared gift, Lu Jingzhi felt so elated he could eat ten bowls of rice.

Most importantly, he now had something to boast about to Lu Zhanxing.

Thinking this, Lu Jingzhi immediately took out his phone and texted Lu Zhanxing, his tone full of boasting.

[The peace charm I prayed for my sister was accepted by her, don’t be too jealous, brother.]

Lu Zhanxing stared at the message, tugging at the corner of his lips in silence.

That’s it? What’s there to boast about?

He rolled his eyes and replied, [Oh, sorry, I don’t even know how many gifts I’ve given to sister, and she’s accepted every single one.]

Lu Jingzhi’s smile froze instantly, feeling a cold splash of water dampen his spirits.

Knowing that Lu Zhanxing was deliberately hitting him where it hurt, Lu Jingzhi forced a laugh: [Is that so? However, it seems you’ve forgotten that the first person to send blessings for sister’s college entrance exams this year was me, not you. Younger brother, you’re falling behind.]

“…”

Lu Zhanxing, looking at the message, felt a vein throb on his forehead, deeply annoyed.

Big brother is too cunning, managing to send his blessings before him. Must the competition between brothers be this intense?

Lu Zhanxing clicked his tongue lightly, put away his phone, and said to Xie Ying, who was checking the schedule for tomorrow, “Clear my schedule for tomorrow afternoon.”

Xie Ying asked blankly, “What are you going to do?”

Lu Zhanxing raised an eyebrow, his smile enigmatic as he replied, “Something big.”

Xie Ying shuddered. Lu Zhanxing said it was something big, so it must be very important?

Could it be that Lu Zhanxing had found a sister-in-law?

The next day, Xie Ying looked up at the familiar mountain, the familiar temple, and the familiar Lu Zhanxing kneeling on a cushion, hands clasped in prayer for his sister’s smooth college entrance exams…

Xie Ying really wanted to go up there and shake the water out of Lu Zhanxing’s brain!

Are you fucking sick? This sister complex is beyond saving.
