My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 159 - 148: There’s No Woman Who Isn’t Trouble
Lin Wan, blushing, sat quietly on the sofa, her straight, porcelain-white legs pressed together, motionless like a sculpture.
Waiting for the numbness in her legs to subside.
She immediately got up, barefoot, and sprinted back to her room.
Chen Lusi watched her leave, shook his head, and then looked toward the kitchen.
Not really intending to cook.
But considering whether to let some blood out, then use the coagulated blood to form a knife.
Might not work in the short term.
But over time, accumulating enough blood to form a knife should be possible.
Just... not sure if the blood will have a shelf life.
If left too long and it can’t be controlled by his Authority Ability, then the blood would be wasted.
So, an experiment is needed first.
Chen Lusi looked at the kitchen, somewhat lost in thought.
Until Lin Wan’s voice rang out, snapping him back to reality.
"Brother-in-law..."
Lin Wan walked out of her room, head lowered, gripping the hem of her nightgown, seemingly unchanged.
"Not planning to eat out?"
Chen Lusi saw she hadn’t changed clothes and asked.
Simultaneously dismissing the idea of letting out blood.
Might as well forget about it for now, not to scare the young girl.
"Mm."
Lin Wan cautiously moved next to Chen Lusi and sat down.
"Then I’ll cook. Do we have ingredients at home?"
Chen Lusi thought for a moment and took out his phone: "If not enough, we can order takeout."
"...We do."
"I’ll go check."
Chen Lusi stood up, then thought it over, didn’t rush to the kitchen, but instead lowered his head and said: "Also, don’t be shy, I was just reminding you, it’s nothing serious.
Don’t let me cause your emotions to be all over the place, focus on preparing for your exams, bring out that ’I’m easy to handle’ spirit you spoke of in the morning."
"..."
Lin Wan, blushing, said nothing.
Chen Lusi didn’t mind, walked to the kitchen, and started searching through the refrigerator.
The young girl seems to cook too, the ingredients are quite complete.
Chen Lusi found some frozen pork and shrimp, just put them down, considering what to make.
Buzz buzz——
The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He was somewhat puzzled, picked up the phone to check.
A message from Lin Wan.
[...Brother-in-law, how do I compare to Sister?]
"..."
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then walked straight out of the kitchen, looking at Lin Wan sitting in the living room with her phone.
"You’re the one who asked me to show some spirit..."
Lin Wan noticed his gaze, slowly stood up, turned her back to Chen Lusi, left a sentence blushing, and dashed back into her room like fleeing.
Chen Lusi: "..."
Is this the kind of spirit I asked for?
...
Eventually.
Chen Lusi didn’t chase after her, just replied ’I don’t know’ through a message, then continued cooking.
As he mentioned in the car to Li Zheng.
There couldn’t possibly exist a perfect person; everyone has various flaws.
...Including Lin Wan and Lin Ying.
And the flaws of this brave yet timid ’little sister-in-law’, Chen Lusi knows well and can tolerate.
He continued to busy himself.
An hour later.
Chen Lusi washed his hands and brought out the three dishes he made—Shrimp with Bok Choy, Braised Pork, and Fried Onion with Pork.
Chen Lusi’s cooking, not exceptionally good... but also not too bad.
At least Lin Wan seemed quite happy eating it.
At first, calling her out, she was quite shy, but then she relaxed while eating.
And after the meal.
Lin Wan went to study.
Chen Lusi found the clothes he had left before, took a shower, then found Lin Ying’s computer, opened a document, and continued writing the book "Tomb Sweeping and the Future."
Chen Lusi feels his flaws are actually quite many, but focus... counts as one of his few advantages.
He wrote all the way from eight in the evening to eleven, even when Lin Wan came up behind him, he was unaware.
Only when a voice sounded.
Did he snap back to reality.
"...Brother-in-law, why are there no female protagonists in your novel?"
Chen Lusi turned around and found Lin Wan standing quietly behind him in an off-white nightgown.
"Because women are troublesome."
Chen Lusi saved the document and replied: "Writing about them is troublesome, and others find them annoying."
Lin Wan: "Brother-in-law, I’m a woman too."
"Mm."
Chen Lusi nodded and agreed.
"So, am I also troublesome?" Lin Wan continued to ask.
"Indeed, at certain times."
Chen Lusi thought for a moment and replied, "But I’m used to it, and you’re not an exception. I think all the women I know are quite troublesome."
"No wonder you’ve never been in a relationship."
Lin Wan heard this, her cheeks slightly puffing up, and muttered quietly, "Serves you right..."
"Aren’t you calling me brother-in-law?"
Chen Lusi continued to look at the document without turning his head, "And you got it wrong; I have been in a relationship. Although it didn’t last long, only half a day, and only in word of mouth, it still counts."
"!!!!!!"
Lin Wan stepped back in shock.
"Sister?"
After a long while.
Lin Wan finally asked.
Chen Lusi shook his head, "No."
"Then who?" Lin Wan returned to stand behind Chen Lusi, placing her hands on his shoulders, and asked curiously and eagerly.
Chen Lusi didn’t respond.
"Brother-in-law." Lin Wan gently shook him.
Chen Lusi sighed, "You’re being troublesome now."
"...Because there’s no such thing as a woman who isn’t troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan squeezed Chen Lusi’s shoulder with her small hand, "Even my sister. Don’t be fooled by how gentle she seems, as if she never gets angry, but sometimes she’s very troublesome too."
"I know."
Chen Lusi paused for a moment, seemingly recalling something, and replied, "She once hit me twice."
"..."
Lin Wan’s fair face was full of astonishment, "What? She hits you?"
Chen Lusi remained silent.
"Why?"
Lin Wan’s brief astonishment turned into strong curiosity, "When?"
Chen Lusi still didn’t speak.
Lin Wan looked at the back of Chen Lusi’s head and suddenly realized, "...Wait, does it have something to do with the relationship you mentioned?"
Chen Lusi paused, looking at the screen, slightly lost in thought.
...
Under the sunset.
The pure-looking girl with a ponytail bit her red lips and punched the boy in the face.
The punch was very light.
But it was indeed a punch.
The boy stood silently, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you hit me?"
The girl bit her rosy lips hard, stepped forward, and punched him again, "You obviously don’t like her."
"...I didn’t agree."
The boy was stunned and realized, "The rumor of a successful confession is false."
The girl’s action paused, then she slightly raised her fair chin, looked at the boy’s face, and threw a third punch.
This time, she hit his chest.
Immediately after.
The girl leaned against the boy’s chest, weakly lying in his arms, as if overly frightened.
"Idiot."
...
Scenes from the past flooded back into his mind.
Chen Lusi snapped out of it, looking at the youthful face in front of him, who bore a striking resemblance to Lin Ying in her teenage years, and replied, "Don’t worry about it, go to sleep."
"I don’t believe you..."
Lin Wan didn’t believe him at all and kept shaking Chen Lusi.
But Chen Lusi remained silent, appearing unwilling to speak.
Unwilling to give up, Lin Wan pulled a chair from the side, sat down, and continued to ask questions.
At first, she was quite energetic, but as time passed, her voice grew softer and softer.
Then.
Chen Lusi felt a slight weight on his shoulder.
He turned his head to see Lin Wan asleep, resting on his shoulder. After a moment’s silence, he gently supported her neck and the back of her knees, lifted her, and carried her back to her room.
After placing the girl down.
Chen Lusi walked to the window and glanced outside.
In the distance, the brightly shining neon lights lit up the entire city.
Making it feel both magnificent and void.
"Brother-in-law, idiot..."
A dreamy voice suddenly came through.
Chen Lusi turned back, seeing Lin Wan hugging her quilt, only her elegant back visible.
He paused for a moment, then smiled, turned around, and drew the curtains, shutting out the illusory night view.
Darkness fell.
While outside the window, the city’s hustle and bustle continued.
But beneath the night curtain, a lot of people’s secret lives remained hidden...
On this night.
Four members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion appeared in Jiangchang City, entering into the night and then mysteriously vanishing.
Without a trace.
