Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Because he slept well yesterday, He Xi is now full of energy.

He Xi ate the fragrant and glutinous porridge in small bites. She caught a glimpse of He Fei stealing a glance at Lu Yunshen and her elder brother from time to time. She kicked He Fei symbolically, then looked at the porridge in front of her, signaling her: Watch your eyes.

"Huh," He Xi let out a long breath, "I'm dying of suffocation. Let's go out for a walk with big brother."

He Zhien was naturally willing to accompany He Xi and He Fei to stroll around Beijing, but someone was not happy about it. Lu Yunshen stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to the three of them: "Let me take you around. Your brother doesn't go out much."

Lu Jinan sat on the sofa like an old man, lazily reading the newspaper. Hearing Lu Yunshen's words, he raised his eyelids and said in a cold tone: "You don't have to go. It's time for the three of us brothers to have a good reunion."

There was not much emotion in his words, nor was there any coldness in his attitude, but Lu Yunshen just felt an invisible sense of oppression.

He glanced at his second brother, who was more relaxed, and saw him with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile on his face: "Third brother is right."

He Xi glared at He Zhien and said, "Why don't you leave? The three brothers have something to do. You follow me today."

The sofa sank, and Lu Yunshen sat on the sofa opposite Lu Jinan. Lu Jinan leaned on the left side of the sofa opposite him, and on the right was Lu Huaizhi.

Lu Jinan raised his eyes slightly from the newspaper and asked, "Do you like men or women?"

Lu Huaizhi looked at Lu Yunshen suddenly, with a hint of shock in his eyes: "Him and him?"

Lu Yunshen's body stiffened, his eyes dodged: "Watch your words, I'm your elder brother, not a prisoner in the detention center."

Lu Jinan folded the newspaper and put it aside: "Don't understand? Then explain it more clearly. Do you have special feelings for He Zhien?"

"No." Lu Yunshen answered without hesitation.

"No?" Lu Jinan's eyes seemed to be able to see through Lu Yunshen's heart, "How do you explain the excessive behavior between you two men? Holding wrists? Picking up food? Picking fish bones? Protecting him? Washing his underwear?"

With every example given, Lu Yunshen's expression became uglier. He didn't understand why he had to do so much. He felt distressed when he saw that He Xi couldn't take care of himself. He frowned unhappily when he saw He Xi treating him coldly.

The atmosphere between the three brothers was very low. Lu Huaizhi's beautiful peach blossom eyes became cold, and Lu Jinan's narrow eyes were also extremely cold.

Lu Yunshen said dryly: "You have misunderstood. I just value talent. He has good skills, and our captain and vice-captain cooperate well."

Lu Jinan smiled, a smile that frightened his two brothers. He said in a relaxed tone, "So that's how it is. I'll ask grandpa to ask for his favor and ask him to go to another brigade. According to your evaluation of him, he is definitely captain material. It would be a waste of his talent for you to be the deputy captain."

"No need." Lu Yunshen objected subconsciously, "It's unfair to others to use the backdoor this way."

"It's unfair, isn't it?" Lu Jinan's voice was very soft.

Lu Yunshen's heart tightened, as if Lu Jinan really knew something.

Lu Huaizhi smiled and handed Lu Yunshen two disciplinary reports: "Don't rush to deny it, just take a look first."

Lu Yunshen mechanically took the report, carefully examined the contents and names on it, swallowed his saliva, and looked at his indifferent third brother opposite him: "This is a military matter, you have no right to interfere."

"Indeed." Lu Huaizhi took the disciplinary report back from Lu Yunshen, "I haven't figured it out yet. How can I get it without Dad's permission?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunshen stood up in shock. The accusations from his two younger brothers were fine, but how could he easily deal with the interrogation of his father?

Lu Huaizhi suggested with a smile: "Why don't you tell us the truth? It's better than facing father and grandfather directly."

He Zhien is not the kind of person who would dress up deliberately. She wears a military uniform wherever she goes, looking rigid and clumsy.

He said generously: "I will treat you to Peking duck at noon, we will visit the Great Wall tomorrow, and the Forbidden City the day after tomorrow."

He Xi will not favor any side. Since Lu Yunshen is under investigation, He Zhien should also be questioned.

"Okay." He Xi glanced at He Fei and said, "Since you're in Beijing, you should have a good look and have fun. By the way, you're getting old too. Do you have a girlfriend? It would be more fun if we could have fun together."

The two sisters looked at each other, and He Fei received the signal: "Yes, Dad asked me when he came, because he was afraid that you would forget the issue of our family's incense."

He Zhien scratched his head awkwardly: "No, there is no suitable one around me, they are all a bunch of men."

He Xi and He Fei didn't believe it. There was no art troupe in the army? The girls in the art troupe were all top-notch in appearance and figure. There were also doctors and nurses in the military hospital. Not to mention that there were none, even if they were injured, it wouldn't hinder their search for wives.

He Zhien was teased by He Xi and He Fei until her face and neck turned red: "I didn't pay attention. Next time, I will definitely do it next time."

Hearing this, He Xi frowned subconsciously: "He Zhien, you don't like men, do you?"

He Zhien quickly denied it: "Absolutely impossible, I, your brother, am a real man." He looked serious. Although he was not an absolutely smart person, he could hear the implication of He Xi's words.

"You suspect me and Lu Yunshen?"

He Xi looked ahead and saw the post office, thinking about collecting stamps: "It's not suspicion, but I have reason to believe that your actions have exceeded the boundaries of friends, brothers, and comrades."

He Zhien stood there in a daze, recalling every little detail of his time with Lu Yunshen and wondering when he started to become overly enthusiastic towards her. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw his two younger sisters go to the post office.

He Xi explained her intention, and the staff at the post office took out all the stamps for the two sisters to choose from. He Xi didn't know what specific stamps to collect, but she knew that the current stamps would make money in the future, so she wanted to take them all.

He was waiting at the door of the post office. He Xi and He Fei saw him when they went out, but they didn't rush to ask. After all, no one can be sure about matters of "feelings".

But he was anxious to prove his "innocence" to his two sisters, so he stepped forward and opened his arms to block their way: "I, your eldest brother He Zhien, formally inform you that I..."

He looked at the people around him and lowered his voice: "I am a serious man, and I like women."

He Fei noticed that many people passing by cast their eyes towards He Xi, and thought that He Zhien was confessing his love to her.

Lu Yunshen sat on the sofa with his back straight. He thought about the past carefully, pursed his lips, and said nothing for a long time: "I think I really like men."

The two younger brothers were not overly shocked. Lu Jinan said, "Well, so how do you plan to end this?"

Lu Huaizhi looked up at the clock, rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while: "The case has been solved. Don't think too much about it. At most, he has unrequited love. He may not have the same feelings as you."
