What should I do if the protagonist of every world I travel to is sick?
Chapter 5: Sincerity is the key to success
Sure enough, before midnight, that brat Lu Xingming sneaked in again.
But this time Lu Jinan fell asleep. In fact, he always slept well. According to him, it might be because he was heartless.
Although Lu Xingming did not hide in the corner this time, he would still be subconsciously timid when he stood in front of that person, even if that person was already asleep.
In fact, when he was lying on the carpet, he was so angry that he laughed. The man finally let him go, but he came up to him with eager eyes.
In the end, he was just a jerk. He used to look at those abandoned puppies and criticize them out of frustration, but now it seems he's no different from those animals...
Lu Jinan didn't know what was going on in his mind. If he knew, he would only think that this kid was so cruel that he even scolded himself.
07786: Yo yo yo, when you like someone, you hug the puppy, but when you don't like someone, you're no different from an animal... OK, OK, I said the protagonist is good at pretending, right?
When Lu Jinan woke up again, he was not surprised to see Lu Xingming on the carpet.
He just felt that the child was abused because he didn't want to sleep on a good bed but preferred to sleep on the floor.
He picked up the quilt on the bed and gently covered Lu Xingming with it.
He immediately grabbed Lu Jinan's wrist, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.
Lu Xingming shook off Lu Jinan's hand and said coldly,
No need
Lu Jinan touched his nose, folded the quilt and put it back on the bed.
……
On the way, they came to a temple. Perhaps it was famous, and it was very popular. The incense from the incense burners almost permeated the temple.
Lu Jinanrao was somewhat interested, so he pulled Lu Xingming and followed the bustling crowd of tourists in.
He looked impatiently at the man kneeling under the gods and Buddhas. The wisps of cigarette smoke on the stage swirled around the man, blurring his eyebrows and eyes. For a moment, Lu Xingming actually felt that Lu Jinan was very unfamiliar. When the cigarette smoke finished, a trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
Who else could he be if not Lu Jinan?
He leaned against the pillar with his arms folded, looking at Lu Jinan who had finished worshipping solemnly. He casually mentioned,
"You've never believed in these illusory things."
Lu Jinan was slightly startled, his handsome face glowed with a gentle warmth like jade, and his brows relaxed.
"Sincerity is the key to success."
He turned his head, his eyes resting quietly on him, a faint smile inadvertently on the corner of his lips.
"Besides, don't you want to know what I want?"
Lu Jinan was wearing a clean white shirt today, without a single wrinkle. The light fabric was soft and drapey, which seemed to soothe Lu Xingming's heart.
He turned his face away and said awkwardly
"Love is not to be spoken"
Although her face was turned away, her eyes still looked towards him involuntarily.
When he saw the awkward child, he couldn't help but lower his eyes and smile. He said,
"First, I wish Xingming freedom, second, I wish Lu Xingming good luck in the college entrance examination, and third, I hope Ah Ming loves himself!"
Lu Xingming's eyes were already red, he stared at Lu Jinan for a long time, people who didn't know him would think that he was being bullied, but he only said one sentence,
"You said that sincerity works."
"Sincerity works"
For the last time, Lu Jinan.
……
Lu Jinan left the temple and answered a call from the company, and learned that the job he had avoided for so long was finally coming to him.
He decided to quickly hand over the power to Lu Xingming as soon as he returned. It wasn't like he wanted to quit! It was just that everyone had their specialties. As an academic, raising a child was already exhausting for him, and now he had to study finance. What if people saw that he was not on the same level as the original owner?
At this time, several female tourists saw that Lu Jinan was finally alone and wanted to go up to him to take a photo and ask for his WeChat. Lu Jinan saw that Lu Xingming had not come out yet, so he agreed one by one.
When Lu Xingming came out, he saw Lu Jinan surrounded by circles of people, all with bright smiles on their faces.
The moment he saw him, the bright smile on his face seemed to become concrete, and he turned his head and seemed to say to them that his brother was out.
He walked towards him slowly, and the sunny smile on his face was dazzling, as if he was the only one smiling so happily.
He might be sick, otherwise why is his face so hot and his heart beating so fast?
Lu Jinan grabbed Lu Xingming's hand.
"It's time to go home and eat!"
He should have been sick a long time ago, when I patted his back and said it was okay and it would never happen again; or when I looked at the starry sky and said he should be shining and making a big splash; or maybe it was when he prayed to the gods and Buddhas for me just now; or maybe it was now, when he smiled and took his hand and told him it was time to go home for dinner.
……
After returning home
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
Father Lu blew his nose and snorted, "You still remember to come back"
Mother Lu asked the two of them kindly, "Did you have a good time on the road? Jin An was too nervous to mention Mingming to us before. What's wrong with going out for some fun?"
Mother Lu patted Father Lu's hand with a smile, "Your father is worried because you've been away for so long and haven't sent any letters back."
Lu Jinan felt that Lu's father and Lu Xingming looked exactly the same, and they were indeed father and son.
Lu Xingming wanted to run away, but Lu Jinan kept holding him back. Lu Xingming had been at odds with his family for the past few years, and the few words they exchanged throughout the year were nothing more than bickering between the two sides. He didn't know what to say to them. Even if he had said it before, they wouldn't have believed him, so what else could he say?
Knowing that everyone was gathered together, Lu Jinan directly told everyone his idea, which was to let Lu Xingming start working in the company this summer after the college entrance examination.
Lu Jinan did not completely neglect Lu Xingming's studies these days. He felt that there was no need for Lu Xingming to drop out of school. His previous considerations were unnecessary. His learning ability was far better than that of any student who was still in school.
He was also a teacher in his previous life, so he could tell which students were really smart or needed to work hard.
Lu Xingming dared to say that if you asked him to take over the company now, he could do it. However, he still had two years to build a solid foundation.
The top priority now is to let him feel the love of this world, let him learn to love, and make sure that Lu Jinan will not self-destruct even after his death.
He didn't know if he could change Stockholm syndrome, so he could only do his best to make Lu Xingming accept more people, or at least make him not afraid of a normal life.
This should complete his mission.
Lu Xingming was still shocked by his brother's promise to gradually transfer power to him. His brother cared most about the company, and he'd heard a few words about the company and his name mentioned after his brother had fallen asleep. It wasn't hard to put the pieces together, but he didn't care who the company was handed over to; after all, it was still part of the Lu family.
Now Lu Jinan said that he would slowly hand over his power to him.
It's not about assisting, it's about handing it over to him.
Now the other two people in the Lu family felt something was wrong. Father Lu put away his temper and asked Lu Jinan to go to his study.
Lu Xingming wanted to follow, but Lu Jinan smiled at him and told him to go back to his room to do his homework.
In the study,
Father Lu's brows never relaxed, and his thin lips were tightly pursed after Lu Jinan finished that conversation.
Lu Jinan poured him tea slowly, and the mist of tea obscured the look in his eyes.
"Father has long wanted to let Xingming take over the company, otherwise he wouldn't be so pushy about sending me abroad for further studies."
Father Lu said nothing, his eyes were deep. He could see his son's ambition. It was not that he was not confident in handing the company over to him, but he still paid more attention to the bloodline process. After all, Lu Xingming was his biological son.
This may be a common problem left over from ancient times to the present, whether it is the dynasty's abdication system evolving into a long-term hereditary system, or the current high-ranking entrepreneurs who eventually hand over even shares to their own sons in the hope of continued inheritance.
This is human selfishness, he understands.
It’s just that the Lu Jinan in the past didn’t understand. He only knew that what he had cultivated and shouldered since he was a child was inexplicably taken away from him.
The Lu family did not let him down, and they had indeed done their best for an adopted son, but Lu Jinan also deserved the Lu family company. Over the years, he had worked diligently for the company and had built a reputation for it.
This is when he has to give way to others, no one pays attention to his efforts, and his achievements are taken away without hesitation and given to others, even to his own brother.
In the final analysis, it's just that I'm unwilling to accept and lose.
Father Lu still asked about Lu Jinan's physical condition. Although he was indeed sorry for the child in the company, he was also the one who grew up under their care.
Lu Jinan lowered his head, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. He just said that he knew how much time his body had left, and in these last days he just wanted to make the Lu family better.
He also told Father Lu that Xingming was a good kid and very smart. But he also hoped someone would praise him more... He didn't mean to cause such a rift with his family, he just didn't know how to express it...
Before he could finish his words, the man outside the door rushed in and grabbed Lu Jinan's wrist and left without a care in the world.
When he got in the car, I heard him ask the driver to drive to the hospital, and he let him go.
[07786: Host, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?]
[Lu Jinan: How can I make this all right without some drastic measures? Besides, I'm dying anyway, and I'm afraid that guy wouldn't be able to handle it if I died suddenly. Telling him in advance that I'm still alive can be a comfort.]
07786: Are you sure it won’t get any more sad…
