Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

After joining the team, Lu Tiannan was only close to Xi Mingzhu, like a fledgling bird.

In the mirror, she still adheres to the nickname she gave herself in the game world—her brother's little follower.

The other mercenaries had no objection to this; the existence of teammates was merely for mutual cooperation in completing missions, and whether they were close or not was not within their scope of concern.

Lu Tiannan worried that he was dispensable in the team, so he was very proactive and attentive when going on missions. Xi Mingzhu saw this but did not stop him. Some people are not suitable to be protected; if you shield them from the wind and rain, you will only become a burden to them.

Lu Tiannan is the kind of person who needs to become strong to keep everything he wants before he can feel at ease; otherwise, no matter how many promises or sense of security you give him, it won't make a difference.

He was covered in injuries again, so Xi Mingzhu supported Lu Tiannan by one of his arms so that he could lean on him to go home.

"Don't rush so far ahead next time."

Lu Tiannan clearly didn't take what he said to heart, and smiled easily.

“I know my brother is worried about me. But when I think of him behind me, I have no reason to back down.”

Xi Mingzhu frowned slightly. "The others are not useless."

Lu Tiannan knew this, of course, but he didn't want others to think that Xi Mingzhu had given him special treatment when he joined the company.

I didn't want to make things difficult for my brother in my team.

One must prove one's own worth.

"My brother looks so cool when he's sniping. I want to capture his handsome image in his sniper scope."

You only have one life.

Lu Tiannan understood that Qi Mingzhu was simply refuting what he had just said.

In Xi Mingzhu's eyes, showing off is not as important as life.

But in Lu Tiannan's eyes, if he could make the other person remember him for a lifetime, he would be willing to give his life for it.

The inevitable end for the living is death. Lu Tiannan was never remembered by anyone except Xi Mingzhu.

He repaid kindness with enmity, wanting the other person to remember him for a lifetime.

It's best to never forget him.

Lu Tiannan turned his head to look at the profile of the person next to him. If there was anything he particularly wanted to hold onto, it was the person in front of him.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but smile.

"Indeed, we only have one life. I will make good use of it."

"..." After bringing Lu Tiannan home, Xi Mingzhu didn't let him move around anymore. The first-aid kit was fully stocked, and he was skilled in disinfection and bandaging.

Lu Tiannan remained silent, his eyes full of smiles as he watched Xi Mingzhu, who was disinfecting his wounds.

The other person's focus and attentiveness were all for him.

It's his brother Mingzhu—

After bandaging his wound, Xi Mingzhu looked up and noticed Lu Tiannan's undisguised predatory and possessive gaze.

With his eyes slightly narrowed and still crouching, he calmly asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Brother saw it all." Lu Tiannan chuckled, his tone sullen.

Xi Mingzhu packed up her things and slowly got up, preparing to put the first-aid kit back in its original place and dispose of the medical waste.

Lu Tiannan grabbed Xi Mingzhu's wrist, his previously docile demeanor vanishing instantly, replaced by the look of someone eyeing prey.

Seeing this scene from outside the mirror, Xi Mingzhu chuckled softly: "You little wolf cub."

0561 didn't understand what was so funny about this.

As if seeing 0561's question, Xi Mingzhu spoke coldly and calmly: "If he is trapped inside, I will not let him off."

Through the mirror, Xi Mingzhu had long realized that his treatment of Lu Tiannan was no longer what he had previously described as repayment for exploitation.

Xi Mingzhu could distinguish the real Lu Tiannan from the imposter in the mirror. If Lu Tiannan became immersed in the world within the mirror, he would try to save him, but he wouldn't let him off easily.

0561 shuddered. "Host, you've really learned bad habits from the villain! How scary! I'm terrified."

In the mirror world, Lu Tiannan forcefully grabbed Xi Mingzhu.

"Brother, are you trying to avoid the question? Don't you feel ashamed to pretend you don't know anything?"

"You really want me?"

Lu Tiannan lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking seriously.

"Thinking about it day and night."

Before Xi Mingzhu could respond, Lu Tiannan launched into a barrage of questions, pressing her relentlessly.

"Can't we think of it this way? Does my brother have anyone else besides me? Aren't we each other's only one?"

"Sure, you can decide what you want; I can't control that."

Xi Mingzhu pursed her lips slightly. "There's no one else."

The third question remained unanswered for a long time, and Lu Tiannan let out a soft laugh.

"Did I push too hard? It's not the right time yet, is it?"

Just as Lu Tiannan was about to back down and reconsider, Xi Mingzhu looked at Lu Tiannan firmly and said seriously, "He is the only one."

Xi Mingzhu seemed unable to understand why Lu Tiannan had such feelings for her.

"Why? Is it because I saved you?"

"Brother, are you trying to ask me what I like about you? Haven't you ever heard the saying that there's only one reason to dislike someone, but countless reasons to like someone?"

Lu Tiannan released his hand and gently stroked the long hair that Shang Ximingzhu had tucked behind her ear.

"My brother is handsome, just my type. Even his personality is incredibly cute in my eyes. Of course, it's a bonus that he saved me, but I like him as a person. I wouldn't repay someone else's kindness with my body."

0561 had the misfortune of witnessing Lu Tiannan's offer of himself to a woman in a small hotel, and now he saw Lu Tiannan offering himself to a fake woman.

Plant grass on the grave, may you rest in peace.

Just as 0561 was secretly observing Xi Mingzhu's condition, Xi Mingzhu didn't say anything or react at all.

With the same appearance and personality, Lu Tiannan...

Jiang Muyu's voice came from the other end, his tone revealing surprise: "You came out earlier than me, you're amazing."

“I remember… your name is Shen Yi, right? You saw my memories.”

Jiang Muyu, wearing a rabbit mask, suddenly attacked, seemingly intending to kill him to silence him.

"I have no interest in your past blindness."

As expected, Jiang Muyu became even more determined to kill Xi Mingzhu.

"I know your uncle."

Jiang Muyu paused and withdrew the talisman he had extended.

“You know my uncle…you should know what will happen if you lie to me.”

"Jiang Yuzhou, President of Paradise Lost".

The rest is up to Jiang Muyu to verify.

"..." Jiang Muyu stood there motionless, his expression hidden behind the mask.

Xi Mingzhu understood; Jiang Muyu had never known the name of the uncle he was looking for, nor did he know his appearance.

If Jiang Muyu hadn't caught a glimpse of the scene in the mirror out of the corner of his eye, finding someone would truly be as Lu Tiannan described—it would be a miracle if he could find them.

Suddenly, a stack of talismans was stuffed into his hand.

Jiang Muyu spoke sincerely, "Thank you, you're a good person. I shouldn't have attacked you."

Xi Mingzhu had seen talismans before; the people in the Talisman Sect would never lack them, but he had never seen them so generous.

"...You should verify this first."

"They both have the surname Jiang, and their names sound nice, so I think he is my uncle."

0561: No wonder Jiang Muyu was able to get the rabbit mask, there's a reason for it.
