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

Lu Zhao's body felt frozen in place, too stiff to move. He felt every cell in his body tremble, as if losing control. His blood was flowing backward, turning his face pale as paper, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

There seemed to be an invisible alarm clock in his ears, making a continuous buzzing sound that made him dizzy. The sound became louder and louder, making Lu Zhao feel extremely nauseous and dizzy.

However, despite this, Lu Zhao still tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth, trying to show a smile. But that smile looked extremely ugly, like a distorted mask, which made people feel pity.

"I don't understand what you are saying..."

"Okay, there's no one else here, why are you pretending?"

Lu Shi lay on the sofa with his whole body relaxed as if he had no bones, speaking in a lazy tone.

"I was wondering why everything was so coincidental. I knew it once I knew you had a crush on me for five years."

"You deliberately didn't pretend this morning, deliberately creating public opinion so that everyone would think we were a couple, and then take advantage of the situation to meet the parents."

"Not only that, I suspect you were the one who set up that blind date."

Lu Shi's tone was calm, as if she were discussing a trivial matter, and even contained a subtle hint of laxity. Although her words made people feel angry, there was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, the tension in Lu Zhao's heart gradually dissipated, his face gradually relaxed, and his originally tense nerves gradually relaxed, no longer as full of fear as before.

"You're right, but it's undeniable that what's going on between us isn't just my one-sided plan, it's also destined by heaven."

"fate?"

"Yes!" Lu Zhao laughed slowly, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.

"That night five years ago, almost no one would go there, but you went and happened to save me. I didn't know it was you on that blind date, but I went anyway, and you didn't break the date."

It seems so? It seems quite a coincidence. Lu Shi put his legs on the armrest of the sofa and waited quietly for Lu Zhao's next words.

"I was filming a show before, and I prayed for our marriage at the Yue Lao Temple on Fujun Mountain. I was then given a pair of red strings. Very few people have ever received a pair of red strings. It's said that those who receive them are destined to be together."

"Look, even the matchmaker is trying to tie the knot for us."

Lu Zhao took out the red rope that he had hidden in his arms for a long time and handed it to Lu Shi.

"One for each of us. Can you put them on for me?"

Seeing the red rope with a faint golden glow, Lu Shi stood up, took the rope in his hand and looked at it closely.

The red rope is soft and smooth, and feels delicate, as if it were woven from the finest silk.

At each end of the red string was a small, exquisite bell. When gently shaken, the bell made a clear, pleasant sound, but it was very faint and could only be heard if one was close. But each ring was like a drop of water dripping into a calm ocean, creating ripples that could not be ignored.

But what attracts the most attention is the glowing golden thread hidden in the woven red rope, which shines brightly under any visible light and even contains a trace of divine power.

I prayed for it from Yue Lao Temple.

It's that guy again. Does he have so much supernatural power that he doesn't know where to use it? If I had known he was so kind and generous, I should have taken away all his treasures to avenge the incident of tying him up!

"No, if you want to bring it, you bring it yourself." After saying that, Lu Shi fell back on the sofa.

When Lu Zhao heard this, he looked like he was about to cry. Mother Lu, who happened to be coming out of the kitchen, saw this and was extremely angry.

Oh my god, she remembered that she had coaxed the person before leaving, so how come she made the person cry again in a short while?

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong? Did Lu Shi bully you again?"

She glared at Lu Shi fiercely, cursing in her heart. Although she was expressing her doubts, she had already made up her mind.

It must be this unreasonable guy bullying others again. He really doesn’t know how to cherish at all!

"No, Aunt Lu, Lu Shi didn't bully me, she just didn't like the gift I gave her..."

"What gift? Is it the red string on your hand?"

"Yeah. This red string symbolizes lovers finally getting married and living a happy life, but it seems like Lu Shi doesn't like it very much..."

"I'm going to kill you!"

Mother Lu knew whether there was any danger or not as soon as she made a move. She slapped Lu Shi's soft thigh hard, making a crisp and loud slapping sound. Lu Shi was in so much pain that he sat up and covered his thigh with his hands, his face grim.

Mother Lu didn't care about her and directly took a red rope and put it on her. Her movements were smooth and there was no delay. In the blink of an eye, before Lu Shi could even recover from the pain in her leg, an exquisite red rope was unexpectedly put on her wrist.

No!

Lu Shi quickly pulled back his hand and tried to take off the red rope, but after trying for a long time, the red rope was still tightly wrapped around his wrist, not moving at all. Only the faint sound of the bell could be heard.

She knew she was once again bound by Yue Lao's red string. Yue Lao possessed a unique power throughout the divine realm. His power was non-aggressive, but those bound by his red string, whether gods or humans, could not be violently freed. They could only wait for the string to break on its own at a certain moment.

It’s painful to say, looking around the world of gods, the only gods who were tied up by him with red ropes were her and the servant who took care of her all day long. The two of them were the biggest enemies in the world of gods!

Unable to take off the red rope, Lu Shi collapsed on the sofa with lifeless eyes and a look of despair on his face.

"Come, Aunt Lu will put it on for you."

Lu Zhao obediently stretched out her hand, and the bright red rope was slowly put on her fair wrist, creating a strong color contrast that impacted people's eyes.

"So lovely."

Mother Lu took the two people's hands and put them together. The more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became.

"Don't look so dead. It's time to eat. Go clean up quickly. Your brother will be home soon. He's been like a dynamite lately and loses his temper at the slightest provocation. Don't mess with him."

It’s too late. I already pissed people off when we were chatting at noon today…

Happiness never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

What Mrs. Lu said was right. A few minutes later, Lu Yi arrived home. After entering the door, he was very friendly to Lu Zhaohe, but glared at Lu Shi, obviously still angry about noon.

But Lu Shi felt that this was just a vent of anger, otherwise why would her brother be so angry.

Don't think she doesn't know that her brother, as the son of heaven, is very popular in this world.

If her guess was correct, there must have been a pure and pretty intern who was pursuing him relentlessly recently, but the intern was sent in by the partner, so he couldn't fire her and could only deal with her coldly.

The intern was a naive person. Even though she was assigned to a marginal position, she continued to get into trouble, causing great worry to the entire company and also making her brother very upset.

So now, he takes his anger out on his beloved sister.

It's abominable that she has no status in this family!
