The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

After receiving the news, Lu Zhao became nervous and couldn't eat.

He clenched his hand holding the phone slightly, his eyes fixed on the screen, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Lu Zhao, what's wrong with you? Who sent you a message?"

"Your brother."

"What did you say?"

The chicken leg in his mouth fell onto the plate, and Lu Shi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"What does he want from you?"

"He asked us to go home, as if he had something to tell us."

Lu Shi quickly turned on his phone again, and messages came in one after another, including Lu Yi's.

She ignored other unnecessary messages and clicked directly into her brother's chat box.

[Yi: What's going on between you and that kid Lu Zhao?]

[Yi: Are you guys together?]

[Yi: Didn’t you say before that you didn’t like her?]

[Yi: Not speaking?]

[Yi: Go home tonight.]

[Yi: Is your phone turned off?]

Lu Shi typed tremblingly.

[Shi: Bro, my phone ran out of battery and turned off. I am so sorry.]

[Shi: Is there something important happening tonight? Bro, please give me a heads up.]

[Yi: Relationship issues. My parents want to attend the wedding.]

Finished!

Lu Shi began to test her brother with a glimmer of hope.

[Shi: Brother, are you getting married?]

The news came quickly from the other side, and they seemed very excited.

[Yi: You’re pretty good at putting the blame on someone else!]

[Yi: Don’t cry until you see the coffin!]

[Yi: You're on your own!]

Lu Yi was very angry. After sending three messages in a row, there was no movement in the chat box.

At the dinner table, Lu Shi looked at the food in the bowl and found it so hard to swallow that she stared blankly into space as if in a trance, her eyes unfocused and her mind heavy with worry.

This mistake was too big. She wouldn't be bound to Lu Zhao from now on, would she?

There are still 99 meals left to eat!

hateful!

"Come back with me tonight. My parents want to see you."

"Okay." Lu Zhao nodded obediently, but in fact he had a lot of plans in his mind.

"Then let's go out for a walk this afternoon."

"Still strolling around? Things have gotten so serious today, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Then I can't go to your house empty-handed. I have to bring some gifts."

His hand was held and swayed, and Lu Shi's heart moved slightly when he met the pair of eyes that were bright with expectation.

"Then go ahead, but you have to disguise yourself well and don't be recognized, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

"No problem!" Lu Zhao's voice was full of joy and a sense of pride in having achieved his goal, but the slow-witted Lu Shi failed to notice it.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, the two of them forced themselves to eat up all the food, and then packed it up for Lu Zhao. With Lu Shi's help, Lu Zhao looked nothing like before.

To avoid trouble, Lu Shi also put on a mask himself.

After the two arrived at the mall, Lu Shi took Lu Zhao directly to the gift area.

Her goal was clear. She told Lu Zhao directly about her parents' preferences and asked him to buy according to those standards. As for her brother, he didn't have any particular preferences, so Lu Zhao was allowed to make his own decision.

Lu Zhao had done his homework, and he knew some of Lu Shi's family's preferences better than Lu Shi did.

Compared to Lu Shi's hurried state, he was leisurely and relaxed, as if he trusted Lu Shi's camouflage skills very much and was not afraid of being discovered at all.

In fact, if Lu Shi listened to his inner voice at this moment, he would find that this person was eager to be discovered, and the more people who discovered him, the better...

Then, Lu Zhao carefully selected some fruits.

After paying, both of them were carrying bags of various sizes.

Although there were a lot of things, Lu Shi still looked relaxed and at ease. Lu Shi couldn't help but sigh that the physical fitness in her world was much better than that in the previous world. It turned out that people really needed to be strong.

The car slowly drove into the gate of the villa area and finally stopped in front of a villa. Two people got out of the car and walked to the trunk to take out the gifts they had just bought.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

The door opened, revealing Mother Lu's joyful smile. She passed over her precious daughter, whom she had called for over twenty years, and affectionately took Lu Zhao's hand, who was lying behind her, calling her "Little Zhao" over and over again. They were extremely intimate, as if they were a pair of mother and son whose blood was thicker than water...

Seeing Lu Zhao being pulled into the house by Lu's mother, and Lu Shi being completely ignored outside the door, he was speechless.

"Mom, please at least look at me. Am I still your precious daughter?"

After Lu Zhao sat down on the sofa, Mother Lu glanced sideways in Lu Shi's direction. "I don't know who doesn't take me, your mother, seriously. You have a boyfriend but you're hiding it from your mother. If you hadn't been caught this time, how much longer would you have kept it a secret from us?"

"Where has your upbringing gone? Xiao Zhao is so likable, are you afraid of not being able to show it off? You insist on letting others expose it."

"..."

Lu Shi lost her temper. Her mother had already been so biased that she easily made a conclusion about her. But the situation was really not as they said...

She was clearly the victim. They had just agreed on 100 meals yesterday, and there were still 99 left before the contract became permanent. But now, inexplicably, the relationship between the two of them was confirmed, and she had no mental preparation at all to get a boyfriend.

Then, within a day of this, it developed to the stage of meeting the parents. In the end, the family members even said that she was wronging them by not making their relationship public...

She is the worst!

If I had known earlier, I would not have coveted that meal and ended up in this state.

She also needs to think about how to deal with online public opinion...

Hiss...my head hurts.

Lu Shi gritted his teeth and looked at the happily smiling Lu Zhao, and had a guess in his mind. This might be a trick played by some sesame-filled glutinous rice ball, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that he got all the benefits!

It wasn't easy, a certain slow-witted fellow finally found out. Lu Zhao noticed Lu Shi's vicious gaze and slowly smiled at her, as if he would always be innocent and pure as a blank sheet of paper.

But can a person who has been abused for two years and has been autistic for more than ten years really have no shadow in his heart?

"Come and sit down. Do you still need me to invite you to my own home?" Seeing that Lu Shi was still motionless at the door, Lu's mother scolded him with a tone of disappointment.

"Your boyfriend is already here, and you don't even bother spending time with Xiao Zhao. How on earth did he fall for a piece of wood like you?"

"Aunt Lu, Lu Shi is doing well."

Lu Zhao seemed to be annoyed to see Lu Shi being criticized, so he immediately defended her: "Lu Shi is sunny, kind and patient. She treats me very well. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"On the contrary, I am timid and crybaby, and I always bother her with everything..."

"If Lu Shi hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago..."

Huh? When did she save Lu Zhao?

Lu Shi looked at him in confusion and winked at him secretly.

Don't exaggerate too much, otherwise it will be difficult to make up for it later.
