I’ve Got This Servant’s Back (6.2)
“Second Brother.”
After gradually recovering from the illness, Lu Qingshi seemed to be in a better state than before, and his spirit was a little stronger. He propped up his body from Gu Song’s arms, and his eyes fell straight into his brother’s eyes. “I don’t want to be like that…”
He tried to express his rejection clearly for the first time, his heart jumping uncontrollably, and his voice became soft again. “Is that okay?”
Lu Jueming was silent.
The mental power fluctuated very sharply just now, and Lu Qingshi had undoubtedly heard something.
Both of them were reluctant to talk about their youngest brother’s body, and there were a lot of taboos in their words, and they were also vague. But Lu Qingshi was self-conscious and keen, and when he heard they had the idea of using Gu Song’s body, he wouldn’t be unaware of it anyway.
What’s more, it seemed that their brother and the slave didn’t just have the simple master-servant relationship as originally envisioned…
He repeatedly weighed the gains and losses in his mind. When his youngest brother tugged his sleeve, he didn’t break it free quickly like other elder brothers. Instead, he continued to stare at him calmly.
Lu Qingshi was silent for a moment. Then clenching his teeth, he propped himself on Gu Song’s knee and straightened his back.
Gu Song hurriedly raised his hand to help him, but his hands were gently refused, he felt lost in his heart. “Youngest Master——”
Lu Qingshi pursed his lips at him and shook his head slightly, gesturing to him to stop behind his back. He then straightened up and looked at the elder brother in front of him, and repeated softly, “Second brother, I don’t want that.”
“Ok.”
Lu Jueming remained silent for a while and finally nodded slightly. Then he got up, gently embracing the youngest brother who had vowed to be cured from fifteen years ago, and his tone softened rarely. “Second brother will find another way.”
The body between his arms was slightly tense before he relaxed again, and acted on his own will to return the hug.
Lu Jueming’s gaze softened and gently rubbed his brother’s hair. “Give your second brother a little more time… Little Stone, the second brother knows you are the strongest. Just give me more time, okay?”
Lu Qingshi raised his head and his clear black eyes met his gaze, the infinite brilliance calmly drawing into the bottom of his eyes, warmly said, “Okay.”
Lu Jueming smiled at him, with a hand on the pack, he pushed him into the arms of Gu Song who was already so anxious that smoke was coming out. “Go back, it’s time to drink medicine.”
It was only then they shockingly realized that the two had stayed in the training ground for nearly two hours. Gu Song suddenly woke up and quickly thanked him. He hugged the Youngest Master’s still cold body and sneaked a glance at Lu Fanghai on the side. “Youngest Master, Let’s go back first.”
As soon as he spoke, he met Lu Fanghai’s sharp gaze.
The majestic coercion poured down, shaking his heart slightly, but he still couldn’t retreat. He bent his body slightly in an apologetic way while his arms were stubbornly supporting Lu Qingshi.
Earlier he was anxious about his youngest brother’s condition, but now seeing his younger brother had eased over, Lu Fanghai could no longer control his anger and it flared up. Behind him, the mental power clattered and solidified into a forty-meters long sword and he stared at Gu Song with a murderous aura.
Lu Qingshi staggered, his figure blocking Gu Song’s body, and raised his hand to hold his cuff, his eyes rippled with water. “Big Brother…”
Lu Fanghai: …..
Lu Fanghai calmed himself down quickly, and behind his back, the long sword fluttered into smoke and dissipated. He then leaned over and lightly rubbed his brother’s forehead hair. “Qing Shi, good boy, where else do you not feel well? Quickly lie back down. Big Brother will let someone check your body, then I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Lu Qingshi nodded obediently, before looking up again and taking the initiative to hug him.
The anger was completely extinguished by his brother’s soft embrace. Lu Fanghai didn’t have the heart to scold them anymore. He hugged his brother and whispered, “Be careful, don’t let father find out… Big Brother doesn’t interfere in your relationship, but if he dares to bully you, you can come to find Big Brother and I will kill him.”
The last few words were coming through his gritted teeth and there was still a lot of resentment.
Lu Qingshi nodded obediently, a smile softly hanging on his pale lips, and he reached out to hold his hand. “Thank you, Big Brother.”
The youngest brother in front of him was almost exactly the same as how he was as a child. Being called by his most-beloved youngest brother, Lu Fanghai’s face instantly turned red and he vaguely replied, while ruffling the soft hair, “Quickly go home, go to bed, and sleep by yourself. Big Brother will come to see you in a while.”
The youngest brother is undoubtedly still simple and ignorant. No matter what, we can’t let this rebellious servant take advantage of it.
Gu Song carefully supported Lu Qingshi to walk out. Not long after a few steps, he noticed the Youngest Master’s willful insistence. Getting used to it by now, he nodded lovingly and leaned down to pick him up at ease, and walked away.
Looking at the back of the two of them, Lu Fanghai took a deep breath, then let out a long, heavy sigh.
Knowing it was about his body which has been worried about for so many years, he shouldn’t have this kind of reaction in any way.
He noticed Gu Song’s intimate concern for Lu Qingshi over the years was a real, sincere one, and also knew that his youngest brother had always been close to this servant, and grew up like a childhood friend.
Now it seems that there is more than a relationship between friends.1Anna: My bro, IT IS not “it seems”, it’s more than that! You saw them kissing!! It is not a supposition anymore, it’s a fact!
Since Lu Jueming had accepted his father’s intentions and started the plan, it meant that there was too little room for a change. So, he had to make more considerations and preparations in advance…
Lu Jueming walked up to him, his whole body still exuding the rare gentleness from when he was close to his youngest brother, which gave Lu Fanghai a rare illusion that his younger brother was easy to get along with. “You really have a way?”
“I don’t know, but I have to try.”
Lu Jueming shook his head, and continued after a moment of silence, “Xiao Shi is very strong. He will give me three years.”
Right after, he quickly retreated his body back a few meters, but still couldn’t avoid the fierce attack from his eldest brother and got choked and pressed harshly against the wall. “You just – what do you mean by asking him? Do you know, do you know–”
Earlier, he wasn’t able to completely stabilize his thoughts so didn’t notice the real meaning of Lu Jueming’s words. But now, listening to him again, he suddenly realized the other side had asked such a cruel question.
This brother of his was astonishingly asking the child who they had carefully taken care of with extra care for so many years to try to live a little longer.
For the youngest brother, who had always been quiet and sensitive, the hidden meaning of this kind of question could be grasped in just a blink of an eye. No matter what, hearing this almost verdict-like question in person was undoubtedly the straightforward cruelty that bordered on knife cutting and fire roasting.
“Do you think he doesn’t know?”
Lu Jueming was still pressed against the wall by him, but he had no intention of resisting at all. Even his tone was very calm.
“When I checked his body last time, he asked me how long he can live. His body is weakening every day. He knows better than me and any of you, but he doesn’t want us to worry. He wants us to happily think that everything is okay for him-his dizziness is also getting more and more serious. You didn’t notice that, right? He doesn’t want us to see it…”
Lu Fanghai’s eyes trembled fiercely, and he clasped his hand tightly before loosening the grip a little. It took him a long time to reply in a dumb voice, “How sure are you that you can come up with a new idea? Does it have to be that slave? Is there anything I can do to help? Just tell me, I will find a way…”
If it were Gu Song, the youngest brother would be sad.
The warmth and softness of such a well-behaved child filled his arms so he had to start thinking about it. He naturally expected his brother to live well all the time, but not at the expense of that child’s smile in any case.
Even if there’s any way…
Lu Jueming coughed a few times and lowered his head, wearing a bitter smile. “Big Brother, you can beat me if you want.”
He rarely called him Big Brother so Lu Fanghai was stunned and let go. After a while, he retreated a few steps, turned around, and quickly escaped from this virtual space.
