989 You’re Not Only a Kid, But You’re Also a Troublemaker

Yang Yuelan had died and everything was over.

Regardless of Yang Yuelan’s crimes, Eldest Master Lu agreed to withdraw all charges against her.

That very night, her body was sent for cremation and her ashes were placed in the Lu family’s ancestral hall.

At three o’clock in the morning, Lu Zhiheng voluntarily left the capital with Third Master Lu. They went to the northwest region which was unpopulated to guard the border. For the rest of his life, he only returned once a year to look at Yang Yuelan’s tablet. After taking a quick look, he would leave. He did not remarry for the rest of his life.

!!
Naturally, this was all in good time.

…

After Yang Yuelan’s death, people simply felt a little sorry for her but it did not affect them badly.

It was the international racing competition the next day.

Meanwhile, at the [Futuristic Racing Club], a few days before the race, lots of visitors gathered from all over the world at the capital.

The club opened at nine in the morning.

However, it was already flooded with people outside at around seven o’clock.

“I wonder if Miss Zi is taking part this time. If she is, I’m sure the [Futuristic Racing Club] will win.”

“If Miss Zi takes part, she’s going to steal the show completely. Can anyone compare to her?”

“She’s at another level with her modified cars. I know the results even without watching the race. This is unfair for the other racers.”

“Does it matter? It’s thrilling to see Miss Zi defeat the other racers overwhelmingly.”

“I wonder if those bigshots are making bets for the race this time.”

“If they do, I want to bet on Miss Zi.”

“Me too…”

…

When Zi Yi found Zhou Shijin, he was sitting in the corner. He looked like he was in a terrible mood as he poked his phone screen.

“Zhou Shijin,” Zi Yi called out to him.

Zhou Shijin raised his head to see Zi Yi but he lowered his head in disappointment again after only a brief glance.

Zi Yi walked up in front of him and said angrily, “All the racers are getting ready but your team members are searching for you high and low. Are you happy?”

“That wasn’t my…”

“Why are you hiding here?”

Zhou Shijin said nothing and seemed low-spirited.

Zi Yi angrily raised her foot and kicked him in the calf.

Zhou Shijin glared at her with fire spewing from his eyes.

Zi Yi crossed her arms and sneered coolly, “If you dare to make trouble today, I’ll send you straight into space and make sure you’ll never see Zhou Shiyu again.”

Zhou Shijin looked like an angry cat with its fur standing up. “If I can’t see him, so be it. I don’t care.”

“Heh!”

Zi Yi laughed coldly before she said in a cool tone, “Since you don’t care about seeing him, I should tell him to go back now.”

Zhou Shijin trembled on hearing this. He looked at her intently and asked, “Is he back?”

“Nope.” Zi Yi answered unusually quickly, so Zhou Shijin did not believe her.

He shot up from the ground and asked, “Where is he?”

“Didn’t you want to get sent into outer space? Why ask about his whereabouts?”

Zhou Shijin glared at Zi Yi angrily. This woman was just like an evil monster. He refused to give in to her. “You can say whatever you want. I’m not desperate to see him.”

“Since you don’t care about seeing me, I can always go back.” An unexpected voice made Zhou Shijin’s eyes light up. He did his utmost to control himself and suppress his joy as he looked at Zhou Shiyu standing in the corner wearing his glasses and looking particularly refined.

“I thought you said I’m not your brother?”

Zhou Shiyu walked over. He stood beside Zhou Shijin and said to Zi Yi, “Boss, I know my little brother wasn’t easy to handle and I know you have things to do, so let me talk to him.”

Zi Yi nodded. She checked the time and said, “You have ten minutes to talk to him. After you are done, please send him over.”

“Ok.”

Zi Yi walked off.

They were in a remote corner. Other than staff members, no one else could access it.

After Zi Yi was gone, only the two of them remained.

Zhou Shiyu looked at his younger brother who was about the same height. He raised his hand and touched Zhou Shijin’s head.

Zhou Shijin instantly exploded. “What are you doing? Do I look like a kid to you?”

Zhou Shiyu adjusted his glasses and said, “In my heart, you’re not only a kid, but you’re also a troublemaker.”

Zhou Shijin promptly wanted to charge over and bite him.

Zhou Shiyu pretended not to notice his reaction. Instead, he continued speaking, “Boss Zi was right. You’re just a proud kid. You do whatever you want and also attract trouble.”

The moment he heard this, Zhou Shijin’s face promptly changed, and he looked sad. He said in a self-deprecating tone and sneered, “I know I’ve always been a burden to you…”

“When did I ever say that?”

“Do you need to say it out loud? You not only treat me as a burden, but you also treat me as though I’m someone weird after I told you about my sexual preferences. You wish I wasn’t your brother.”

The more Zhou Shijin spoke, the more upset he became and his eyes turned red.

Zhou Shijin looked as though he might cry at any moment. Zhou Shiyu frowned and did not know what to do about him. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “I never think of you as a burden. You’re my brother and we both lost our parents at a young age. You mean everything to me in the family.”

Zhou Shijin looked at him in disbelief.

Zhou Shiyu continued speaking in a disappointed tone, “In order to ensure you could grow up safely, I kept plotting and scheming. I can’t believe that’s what you think of me. You are such an ingrate. How could you think I would judge you for your sexual preferences?”

Zhou Shijin’s eyes turn red. He breathed deeply with his chest rising and falling hard as he roared. “Do you think I can control my sexual preferences? I’m simply not interested in women. I feel grossed out being with women and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he used his sleeve to wipe his eyes. He turned his head away angrily without looking at his brother.

Zhou Shiyu could feel a headache coming on. He looked at Zhou Shijin before he sighed and said, “It was my fault. I should’ve paid more attention to your mental well-being.”

Zhou Shijin felt annoyed on hearing this. “I’m just three years younger than you. I don’t need your attention.”

In a split second, someone flicked him on the forehead.

Zhou Shijin looked at him in resentment and said huffily, “If you want to talk, then go ahead. Do you have to touch me?”

Zhou Shiyu laughed coldly. “If talking worked, I wouldn’t have to resort to touching you.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Zhou Shiyu raised his hand again.

Zhou Shijin spoke as he quickly retreated, “Ever since we were kids, you always hit me since you were older. Let me tell you. If you dare touch me again, I won’t hold back anymore.”

Zhou Shiyu continued to laugh coolly. “What do you mean by holding back? I don’t recall you ever winning.”

Zhou Shijin looked indignant.

Zhou Shiyu turned and headed to the entrance.

Zhou Shijin felt worried inside and automatically called him, “Brother.”

Zhou Shiyu said, “Come on. You have to compete today. I do not want to see you lose. If you lose, I’ll never come to watch you race again. Also… after the race, let’s find someplace to have a proper chat.”

Zhou Shijin looked at Zhou Shiyu from behind. Just when Zhou Shiyu was about to turn the corner, Zhou Shijin finally ran to reluctantly catch up to him.
