My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

"Then...where should I go?"

"The dead will disappear from this world."

Lu Jing turned off the recording and looked at Cao Lihao and the others with a serious expression.

That's how it is.

At this moment, Cao Lihao, Miao Miao, Monkey, and Fatty Li Xinyi looked at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.

“My family has been acting strangely lately,” Lu Jing said.

"Your parents want to... kill you? That's ridiculous."

"That's what the monkey said."

Miao Miao rubbed her chin with her fingertips. "Did your parents buy you any insurance recently?"

Lu Jing was in mixed feelings and ignored Miao Miao's jokes.

The group chatted amongst themselves, but couldn't come to a clear conclusion.

In the end, Cao Lihao made the final decision.

"Let's put aside what we're doing for now. Over the next few days, we'll conduct a thorough investigation into Lu Jing's family to see if they've recently come into contact with any cult or been influenced by anyone."

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past five days, Lu Jing has been absent-minded.

The good news is that everything is normal for his family; they haven't come into contact with any mysterious or unsavory individuals.

The building's surveillance cameras were not left by the previous director.

Lu Yuanzheng and Gong Liying neither had any special identities.

The bad news: that means they were off from the start.

Chapter 107 It’s all fake

“Lu Jing, today is your birthday, right?” Miao Miao suddenly said.

Lu Jing calculated the date and realized it really was his birthday.

He was just too caught up in family matters to think about his birthday.

Cao Lihao patted him on the shoulder, "Leave the investigation to us. Just pretend you don't know anything when you get home."

Lu Jing nodded, but he didn't hold out much hope.

In the past five days, we have investigated everything that needed to be investigated. If we had any clues, we would have found them long ago.

"dudu~"

"Where is Lu Jing?"

Lu Xue's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Jing took a deep breath. "What's wrong?"

"Time to go home for dinner."

"Oh."

"........."

After leaving the base, Lu Jing's mind was in turmoil.

He wanted to act as if nothing had happened.

But the disappointment on his face was clearly visible; he couldn't fake it.

His back felt like it was carrying thousands of pounds of weight, and he couldn't straighten it at all.

He cannot accept that there are any problems with his family.

The great hero who saves the world fights his way through monsters, only to discover in the end that his own family are the bosses.

It makes me collapse just thinking about it.

Lu Jing stood in front of the door, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

He pushed open the door.

"Bam—!!"

Lu Xue pulled open the small firework with a blank expression, and colorful ribbons floated onto Lu Jing's head.

"Happy birthday," Lu Xue said.

Lu Jing blinked.

There was a small cake on the table.

But it's enough for four people to try it out.

Cake is like instant noodles; the best part is always the first bite.

Gong Liying stewed pork ribs, and also made braised ribbonfish, which Lu Jing loves, and fried meatballs.

Including the cake, there were six dishes in total.

Lu Jing also received an extra bowl of longevity noodles.

"Eat."

"Ah."

Lu Jing responded sullenly and lowered his head to eat his noodles.

After finishing their meal, the brother and sister washed the dishes in the kitchen.

Lu Xue glanced at him. "Are you in a bad mood today?"

"No."

Lu Xue pushed a beautiful little box to Lu Jing's side.

When Lu Jing opened it, he saw that it was an anime figure that he had wanted to buy for a long time.

He had saved up money for a long time, but then he lost it.

This almost drove Lu Jing crazy, so they stopped selling the figurines afterwards.

He told Lu Xue about this, and Lu Xue said he was naive, that he would only buy figurines if he had money.

Because of this, Lu Jing and Lu Xue were sulking for several days.

Lu Jing didn't know where Lu Xue bought the figure, because the anime data was poor and the number of figures produced was limited.

After production was quickly discontinued, I had no idea where I could buy it.

"Happy birthday, brother."

she said softly.

So... so this is all acting?

Are you kidding me?

He gave me a birthday present and called me "brother".

Are you kidding me?

Lu Jing returned to the sofa, looking dejected.

His father, Lu Yuanzheng, gave him a watch as a symbol of manhood.

Lu Jing, you've grown up and are a man now.

Dad's getting old, we'll need you to take good care of the family from now on.

Lu Jing scratched his head vigorously, as if he wanted to pull his hair out.

So all of this is fake; it's all self-deception.

Gong Liying looked up and said, "If your hair is itchy, just wash it. Don't pull your hair. What if you go bald later?"

"Dad, Auntie, Lu Xue."

Lu Jing spoke up.

"Is all of this fake?"

The three looked at Lu Jing with suspicion.

Lu Jing took a deep breath, his lips trembling.

"The surveillance cameras in my room, the listening device on my phone, and... and what exactly happened with the psychologist that day? What are you hiding from me?"

Why...why are you trying to kill me, Dad? Aren't I your son?

Why are you trying to kill me? What kind of treatment is this? But I'm not sick.

Lu Xue, why did you say that since hypnosis wasn't working, we should try another method to kill Lu Jing?
