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

Chapter 49 Is There Someone Else Tempting You?
Lin Lu felt like he was struck by lightning. He locked himself in the room and walked around twenty laps.

Pei Yizhou's words were like heavenly fire brought about by lightning. The electric shock caused by the physical contact caused a chain reaction at this moment, and the force of the prairie fire spread, causing her whole body to burn and smoke coming out of her head.

She wanted to scream but couldn't make any loud noise, so she grabbed a pillow and punched it a few times, then fell on the bed, gasping for breath.

At this time, Ding Zitong sent a message.

[Xu Jiayan said that your brother stayed at his place for one night, without any luggage, toiletries, or care from his sister, and he looked very miserable and pitiful.]

Lin Lu sneered, turned over and lay on the bedside, typing: [He is just pretending, he has a lot of money and real estate everywhere, but he has to live with Brother Jiayan, no one would believe that he is pitiful! ]

Ding Zitong was shocked when she saw the exclamation mark. She typed faster than she could introduce the product to customers: [I said Xu Jiayan was like Mission Impossible! So what happened to you guys?]

【Pei Yizhou is sick! 】

Ding Zitong: [Indeed, this is an indisputable fact.]

【He is mentally ill! 】

Ding Zitong: [We are like-minded! I think so too! ]

The connection was so smooth that Lin Lu was stuck for a moment, but the message he sent was finally not just a vent.

【Do you know why he is abnormal? 】

Ding Zitong: [According to the context, we can get part of the truth. Did he do something he shouldn't have done, or did he just come clean and say that he has too much wealth now and if he marries someone else he will have to give some of it away, so why not follow the example of the medieval European royal family and just divide it up between the brothers and sisters?]

[……]Lin Lu felt that this statement was even more insane.

Moreover, Ding Zitong's reaction was not at all like a normal reaction when one first found out that "my friend is loved by her brother".

She hadn't been surprised the last time we talked about it.

Lin Lu frowned and asked: [Did you know that he had this strange idea a long time ago? ]

The message “typing…” on the dialog box was displayed for a long time. Ding Zitong probably deleted and edited for a long time before replying smoothly: [After all, it’s been nine years. I can sense that he has this sign. ]

【for example? 】

[For example, if he sees someone who looks like you on the street, he always stares at them. Several times, he thought it was you, so he pushed through the crowd and ran over to hug her, and then she screamed. At the project celebration party, someone brought a girl who looked like you to get close to him. When he got drunk, he stared at her. The look in his eyes was not that of a sister. If it weren't for his human morality, he might have played the substitute game. I don't think a man with a brotherly nature would do such a thing.]

It was a very vivid statement, but Shi Linlu was quick to notice something was wrong: [Isn’t the most powerful evidence that fiancée? I heard she looks a lot like me?]

Who would develop a romantic relationship with a woman who looks like his or her sister?
Ding Zitong: [I don’t really know about this. Why don’t you just ask him? We can just let it all hang out.]

[I don’t want to talk to him for now.]

And it was so weird to talk to Pei Yizhou about a fiancée who looked so much like her. She was afraid that if he didn't take his medicine today, he would directly say that she was his next fiancée.

Fortunately, the neighbors who used to live upstairs and downstairs have moved away and no longer live here.

Otherwise, if they go out, they will hear people talking about how they got together as a family with evil intentions, and the spit would be enough to drown two people.

She stared at the ceiling for a while, then sent a message to Ding Zitong: "I can't let things go on like this."

Ding Zitong asked cautiously: [What are you going to do?] What are you going to do? She needed to let Pei Yizhou know that there was no way they could have a good ending. If they continued like this, they would not be able to be brothers and sisters.

After she had stayed in the room for two hours and opened the door to go out, Pei Yizhou was still in the living room, not working or making any noise, sleeping on his side on the sofa.

Lin Lu tiptoed to the sofa and looked down at him.

His room was clearly not locked, but he had to lie here instead of going back to sleep. Who was he pretending to be?

She pursed her lips and looked at him for a while, then pulled a thin blanket over him.

She didn't go back to her room, but sat at the dining table waiting for him to wake up, using this time to organize her words.

Maybe Pei Yizhou just didn't want them to separate, but the direction of love is always uncertain, and it is not as stable as a brother-sister relationship.

I really don’t know what he is thinking. Isn’t his life good enough now?
She didn't wait long. Pei Yizhou didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were blue from not getting enough rest. He woke up at the slightest movement.

"Why are you sitting here? Waiting for me to wake up?" He sat up, his low, hoarse voice filled with fatigue.

Lin Lu's face was no longer angry, only calmness remained: "Yes, I plan to give you a few more words of advice in the end."

Pei Yizhou held the thin blanket covering her in his arms, lowered his head and pressed the bridge of his nose, and laughed: "What are you trying to persuade?"

"Your thoughts are not normal so I can't empathize with you, but I guess you probably don't want to be separated from me, so you try to turn family affection into love, thinking that this will bring us closer."

Pei Yizhou stretched out his hand and gestured: "Continue."

She was not angry at his attitude, and continued to speak calmly: "But feelings are always unstable and exclusive, and they require more from each other. Have you ever thought about what to do if we have a conflict? If we make the slightest mistake, we won't even be able to be a family anymore."

“That won’t happen.”

Now it was Lin Lu's turn to sneer: "You are too confident. Do you know what kind of boy I like? You are okay as a brother, but you are not my type as a boyfriend."

"Really?" Pei Yizhou was also very calm. "Everything depends on human effort. Just because you don't like it now doesn't mean you won't like it in the future."

"I won't like it in the future. I will always like it. It won't change."

"Then tell me, what kind do you like?"

"Why should I tell you? So you can copy my homework? I'm not interested in making my brother my boyfriend."

"Lulu," Pei Yizhou called her suddenly, "You're not even sure what kind of boy you like. You don't differentiate between men you like and men you don't like. So how can you say you don't like me? At least you look at the face, and you like my face very much."

Lin Lu: "...When did you become so shameless?"

Since he refused to listen to her words, she simply got to the point: "Think about your parents. Your uncle and aunt loved each other terribly, but it ended in misery. You don't want that kind of result, do you? If we go back to the old ways, we won't be siblings anymore. By then, even if I'm in this city, I won't be by your side. Isn't that the same ending as the loss you're afraid of?"

Pei Yizhou seemed to be affected by the bad ending she repeatedly emphasized. His brows lowered and his tone became heavy: "What good results can I get from being a normal brother and sister with you? Let me watch you fall in love with others, marry others and have children? One day I will have a seizure and may block you in the kitchen when you bring someone home, or I may trap you in the bathroom when you come back to see me after you get married and pass by my room. Anyway, I am no longer willing to be just your brother. Unless you are willing to abandon me and don't want me as your brother, otherwise we will break our bones and tendons, and one day we will get the same result as now. Compared to that time, the current progress is obviously more acceptable..."

"You're not the only one I can accept."

Pei Yizhou looked at her with a somewhat scary look in his eyes. After a moment, he calmed down and asked calmly, "Why, is there anyone else tempting you?"
