Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 47 Retreating to Advance
What Lin Lu is afraid of now is physical contact.

She always felt that the kiss on the night of her eighteenth birthday was the culprit that caused Pei Yizhou's current mental abnormality.

Lin Lu slapped his hand away and took two steps to the side, increasing the distance between them.

"Don't push your luck!" She bit her lip and uttered, "I'll just assume that you're too sad and your mind is twisted. I'm just trying to save your face!"

"Does liking you mean I'm mentally twisted?" Pei Yizhou insisted on throwing away the face she gave him, "Then I would have been mentally twisted a long time ago."

The words sounded like a confession, but unfortunately, if I said it at this time, no one would stop to blush and feel moved by it.

Lin Lu only felt his forehead and heart pounding, and the words he had prepared became blank.

"You...you are simply..."

"What's the 'simple'? Although you have called me brother for many years, we have no blood relationship. You are beautiful and lovable, and it is normal for me to like you after spending so much time with you - this is normal." Pei Yizhou said calmly.

"And..." He lowered his voice again, "Your current situation cannot be known to more people. Staying with me...living together is the safest way. Only I will never hurt you."

It was about time travel. She had always felt that if someone knew about it, they would steal her away and dissect her.

Lin Lu said without thinking: "You are hurting me now."

Pei Yizhou's expression changed, and he stared at her with a gloomy look. Coupled with his tall figure, he gave people a strong sense of oppression.

In a dispute between two people, one wins and the other loses, and the silence of one person will be exchanged for the ease of the other.

During his silence, Lin Lu adjusted his mood, took a deep breath, and called him solemnly.

"Brother, I don't understand why? Was it the kiss on the night of my birthday? But it was accidental. That kind of unpredictable mistake happens to many pairs of siblings every day. It doesn't mean anything. And, and I remember you said that Aunt Pei and I are very similar. You would never like such a person."

She was being vague about what she said. In fact, it was Pei Yizhou who was warning her not to be like his mother who only cared about giving in relationships.

Pei Yizhou did not deny his original idea, and said calmly with a hint of ridicule towards himself: "Why?"

Some things bring pain to people and make them addictive at the same time.

In his opinion, the love between Pei Juan and Pei Yuming is a tragedy. Two moths flew towards the flame of love, risking their lives without hesitation. They thought that their relationship was so perfect and that having the same surname was a sign of a match made in heaven. Even if they sacrificed themselves, it would surely be extremely heroic.

But if you pay too much, it's easy to haggle like weighing groceries.

Pei Juan seemed to have bet her entire life on Pei Yuming, a man, and longed to get equal returns from him. If the other party's return could not satisfy her, she would feel pain, resentment, and hatred.

It's like a person who has only work after adulthood and has no interests, hobbies, family or friends. So once work doesn't go as planned, it's like the sky is falling. This thing affects all her joys and sorrows at every moment, and she can no longer see clearly what she should give up and what she should not give up.

So pain follows like a shadow, and in the end only quarrels and resentment are left.

Pei Yizhou had both parents when he was a child, but he lived a miserable life.

He hated Pei Juan's seemingly uncomplaining dedication, but... but Lin Lu was different.

When she falls in love with someone, her kindness can melt all the ice.

When weighing the vegetables she buys, she never looks at the weight. As long as the vegetables she buys are what she likes, it doesn't make much difference whether she spends five or ten dollars. In the end, she will just say that she can buy less next time when she puts the food in her mouth.

Even though he was just the "more popular" brother at that time.

It was precisely because he was just a brother that he could receive so much dedication, so he couldn't help but wonder: What if he was her lover? What if Lin Lu fell in love with him? What if Lin Lu only had eyes for him? Pei Yizhou looked at Lin Lu who was so close to him. He knew that she asked this question not to hear his love confession, but to express her incomprehension.

So he swallowed it all back in his heart.

Lin Lu looked at his nonchalant attitude and laughed absurdly: "No reason? You said you liked your sister for no apparent reason? Then do you know the difference between these two feelings? I suspect you took too many pills and your brain is broken!"

No matter how much she was persuaded, no matter what she said, she wouldn't listen. She became furious, sternly faced, picked up the unopened suitcase and rushed out.

"Anyway, I'm going to move out. You're right. I can tolerate having a brother who's on medication living at home, but I really can't stand having a pervert who's always staring at me and trying to do something to me. Who knows if I'll go out one day and hear people talking about the two siblings on the 17th floor having an affair..."

They have been together for many years, and Lin Lu rarely gets angry.

The last time I was angry, I slapped him in the face with a cold face.

He's feeling better now, but he only talks about it, not even scolding. He's probably still concerned about his brother who's taking psychiatric drugs.

Seeing her eyes wide open and lips pursed in anger, Pei Yizhou took a few steps forward, put his hand on her suitcase and held her arm with the other hand.

Lin Lu felt like she was on fire and shook his hand off.

"Don't catch me!"

Her resistance was like a whip soaked in salt water lashing him, and Pei Yizhou felt resentful at an inappropriate time, resentful of God, resentful of Antarctica, resentful of himself, and resentful of her now.

He went to catch someone again and pulled her back heavily: "It's so late, where can you go!"

"I'm going to wander outside! I only have one brother in my family. Now he is not my brother anymore, so how can I have a home!" Lin Lu was caught by him, glaring at him unwillingly, his eyes bright enough to spit fire.

Veins popped out on the back of Pei Yizhou's hand: "Don't say that. This is your home. Don't even think about going anywhere else. I don't agree with you moving out!"

"Why should I stay here and cultivate a relationship with you if I don't move out? How many more times should I watch you take a shower, or you barge in when I'm showering? I'm your sister, not some messed up fiancée suitor of yours!"

Lin Lu couldn't pull his hand away, so she just threw the pillow on the sofa at him: "Pei Yizhou, you'd better wake up soon!"

But she was obviously his fiancée, the lover he had pursued for two years and waited for seven years.

The truth about the past was right at his fingertips, and Pei Yizhou wanted to throw the jar out and tell it out for the umpteenth time.

But when he thought that she might be stimulated and have an accident - she didn't have her period now, and it was unclear how she came back from Antarctica, all of which represented instability - he didn't dare to take the risk and didn't want to experience the pain of losing her again.

The words came to his lips but were swallowed back.

"Do you really have to move out? You just want to live apart from me, right?"

Lin Lu pursed his lips and said nothing.

After a moment, Pei Yizhou let her go and picked up his coat. There was no sadness on his face, but the tone of his voice and the way he looked at her were quite aggressive.

"You don't have to leave. I'll leave. But you have to promise me two things."

"One, you are not allowed to avoid me. I will come over to eat with you in the morning, I will pick you up after work, and I will take you home after get off work."

"Second, don't let me see you walking with another man."
