Three years is not too short for the Lu family.
Lu Qingshi's physical condition fluctuated, not weakening as Lu Jueming predicted, but he also fell ill several times. The most serious one even fell asleep for nearly half a month, and even the most powerful medical team in the empire was unfortunately helpless.
Gu Song guarded him tightly, and no one was allowed to move. He took care of him beside the young master, washing his face and body, massaged and fed medicine, and the whole person was boiled to the bone. Even Lu Fanghai couldn't bear to watch it, so he was almost knocked unconscious and forced to rest, but the baby brother really reopened his eyes under his care.
Even though he was pissed off at this villain who had hooked up with his younger brother, when he saw Gu Song kneeling beside the bed holding his younger brother's hand, and the two sleeping peacefully with their foreheads cuddled, Lu Fanghai still gave birth and told them to go now The urge to get married.
Brother be happy.
Over time, this criterion even surpassed the concern for Lu Qingshi's body and became the first priority of a group of brothers. As for the arrangement that made the younger brother clearly say "I don't want that", it was never mentioned again.
Three years later, Lu Qingshi finally turned eighteen.
It is difficult for outsiders to understand how these three years have been like walking on thin ice for the Lu family, but in any case, the young master has really stumbled and stumbled for years, and still makes the entire Lu family uncontrollably happy. Lu Qingshi's adult banquet has naturally become the most important event.
Over the years, the Lu family has been tossing around the entire imperial capital because of the young master's illness. Everyone knows the meaning of this adult banquet. The guests who come here are either rich or expensive, and even the royal family specially sent the prince to congratulate him.
Lu Qingshi leaned in the treatment chair specially made to fit his body, watching a group of elder brothers bustling back and forth beamingly, the rays of light in his eyes were bright, and Wen Xiu's eyebrows also bowed softly.
"Young master looks so good today."
Gu Song walked around from behind him and looked at the rare young master with a smile. He took out the ribbon from his breast pocket, and tucked it lightly around his neck. He leaned over and took care of it, whispering in his ear.
"Tired? Just show up outside, and we'll go back and rest. Young master see if there is anything you like to eat, I'll bring it to Young Master... "
"It's okay, not too tired."
Even though the relationship between the two is very close, Gu Song still insists on abiding by etiquette in front of people. Lu Qingshi greeted the warm color in his eyes, his clear black eyes curved, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly: "I don't have anything to eat, you can pick up a few and take them home, save them for homework at night when you're tired to eat. "
Lu Qingshi's physical condition was good and bad, and it was not easy to stay awake. The class had already been stopped by Lu Fanghai. For some unknown reason, the young master became quieter and gentler as he grew up, and the rare pleasure was to watch the servants do their homework.
In order to make his younger brother happy, the twelve elder brothers put pressure on him together, but Gu Song became the one who was tortured by lessons and homework every day.
Gu Song snorted, couldn't help laughing, and continued to fold his collar neatly for him in a good-natured manner, nodding solemnly: "Young master wants to eat cake, I understand."
The two had cultivated a tacit understanding over the years, and Lu Qingshi narrowed his eyes relaxedly and raised his chin slightly to make it easier for him to manage. Gu Song's movements were neat but gentle, and the back of his hand brushed the young master's soft cheeks intentionally or unintentionally.
"Young master, tell me if you're not feeling well, don't tire yourself out."
After arranging a collar for five minutes, Gu Song reluctantly stopped his hands and stood up straight, and continued to instruct in a gentle voice: "I'm listening, the young master will come over as soon as the bell rings."
When Lu Qingshi was seriously ill, he had no strength, and it was difficult to press the pager. Gu Song tied a bell to his wrist, and he moved his wrist whenever he wanted to call someone. After all, he never walks far, and he can rush to the bed as soon as he hears the bell, no matter how he can make it in time.
This method was only used once or twice when Lu Qingshi was sick, but the young master seemed to like it very much. Not only did he put away the bell that was tied to him, but he would also ring it twice when he was not paying attention. Down.
The bell was crisp, as if it had injected a lot of fresh anger into the young master. Gu Song likes to listen, and has full patience to accompany him.
The clear smile melted in Lu Qingshi's eyes, and nodded lightly.
After Gu Song finished his instructions, he didn't rush to get up and go to work. He turned slightly to block the sight of outsiders, and squeezed his hand without a trace. Looking at the young master Jian Yu's thick eyelashes, his eyes flashed, and he leaned over and said softly, "After tonight, the young master will be an adult."
Although Lu Qingshi's body may not be able to indulge even if he is an adult, but after crossing that limit, it is still different in the end.
Lu Qingshi pursed the corners of his lips lightly, turned his clasped hands gently, intertwined his fingers, and pressed his palms warmly.
Gu Song smiled, and took advantage of the opportunity to straighten up, his lips brushed against his ear: "There's a lot of homework tonight... Can you do it with me, young master?"
Too close, the young master's earlobes were so red that they could drip blood. But he was still stubborn, shook his hand as if in a demonstration, and raised his head slightly: "You can accompany you, you can't sleep until you finish."
"Okay, don't sleep until you're done - don't sleep."
Gu Song chuckled softly in his ear and answered meaningfully.
Seeing that the young master who reacted in a blink of an eye continued to turn red, the increasingly daring personal servant was satisfied, got up with a smile, rubbed the pulp of his fingers, held the hand and gently put it back to his side: "Young master, take a good rest. , I'll go see what else to do."
Seeing that the other party actually turned back into a serious and loyal servant in a second, Lu Qingshi gave him a powerless look, his black eyes tried his best to pretend to be slightly sullen, but he was clearly unsuspecting and soft.
Gu Song was so stunned by this stare that his heart was rubbed infinitely sweet, and he couldn't even put away his smile. He saluted him with a light cough, and walked quickly into the crowd.
Lu Qingshi's body has been well maintained these days, but he is the most afraid of fatigue. Although he has to come out as the protagonist, he can't worry about other things at all, and Gu Song must run. It's rare to be able to come back to accompany the young master, and it's already a hard time to spare. If you don't go back as soon as possible, it will delay a lot of things.
His mind was still on the "homework" of the two tonight. Gu Song's footsteps were brisk, and he had a lot of energy to get busy.
After listening to someone sent by Lu Fanghai to explain the arrangement, he was called to report to Lu Feng on the recent situation of the young master. Gu Song speeded up without a trace, turned around a clean corridor, and suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures, as if they were arguing fiercely.
Gu Song instinctively stopped and avoided the corridor sideways.
He recognized one of them as Lu Feng, and although he had never seen the other, as long as he looked at the dress unique to the royal family, it was not difficult to guess that it must be the prince sent by the royal family to congratulate him.
The Lu family is not small, and they are in charge of the military and government. Even the royal family intends to win over them. Now is the time to make good friends. I don't know why such a fierce conflict occurs.
Gu Song was pondering in the corner, and there were faint footsteps behind him. He suddenly turned around and met Lu Jueming's slightly indifferent face: "Go and do other things, I will talk to my father about Xiao Shi."
When he didn't go to his younger brother, Lu Jueming usually didn't have any superfluous expressions. Gu Song was also used to it, leaned over and responded, no longer staying, and turned to leave.
The Lu family is naturally a wealthy family, and there will never be less disputes at the upper level, but he has never paid much attention to it, and even he does not know much about the specific forces of the Lu family.
From the beginning, his job was only to take care of his young master, and he didn't have the heart to take care of anything else.
At the beginning of the banquet, Lu Qingshi, accompanied by Gu Song, came out to give a salute, and greeted a few people who had to meet him.
After all, the Lu family still has to communicate with each other. No matter how reluctant the elder brothers are, they can only let the younger brother come out and work hard.
Gu Song had made arrangements in advance, and after most of the turn, Lu Qingshi's spirit was still good. Although he was supported by Gu Song, his footsteps were still steady, and his brows and eyes always had a warm and light smile, which made a lot of difference from the image of a sickly seedling in many people's minds.
The banquet is a buffet, and the carefully prepared dishes are placed in different areas. Guests can choose freely, or let the waiter prepare something that suits their taste.
A banquet held by a family of this level, no matter what its original purpose, would always turn into a semi-political social banquet.
Those who are qualified to participate are either rich or expensive. It has long been an invisible rule to use this kind of relaxed occasion to communicate and move around. Although the core characters left early, and remembered the rumors that the young master of the Lu family was sick and weak, no one expressed the slightest bit. child's objection.
"Look at it again, young master, you really have nothing to like?"
Arms were firmly wrapped around Slim's back, and the heartbeat from the chest and shoulders was relatively stable. Gu Song was relieved and joked with him half-jokingly: "I have to do homework all night, but I get hungry easily..."
He didn't add the two words "homework" that he wanted to cover up, but he emphasized it. Instead, it showed the deep meaning of the blushing that there is no silver in this place.
Lu Qingshi pursed his lips, his black and white eyes feigned anger at him, but was greeted with a smile by a young servant who had already prepared. Jinglang's black pupil steadily took over the small knife thrown in the eyes of the young master, and turned into a clear smile in the warmth of his eyes.
I don't know if it's a habit of being forced out by those brothers. Gu Song has always been a well-mannered servant in front of others, but he always spares no effort to verbally tease his young master, never doing anything to the young master. What kind of memory grows under the threat of thunder without rain.
Over the past few years, Lu Qingshi has calmed down a lot due to his training, but he is always blushing and heartbeat when he is not careful, and he can't even say a word.
Gu Song likes to tease him, but he never neglects to take care of him. While smiling and coaxing the young master who was half-truth and ignoring his words, he paid attention to Lu Qingshi's eyes without a trace, wrote down all the dishes that he had stayed for a long time, and prepared to have someone bring some to send to him later.
Lu Qingshi's stomach was full of medicine. Even if there was something he liked to eat, he could only take a few mouthfuls at most, and he couldn't eat it after a taste.
The young master is too sensible, and always feels that it is too wasteful to throw away after a few bites. Gradually, he starts not to take the initiative to eat, and only says he doesn't like it when he asks anything.
Several brothers took turns to fight against his fault, but they were not able to correct it. On the other hand, Gu Song has been with him all day, and he can understand his thoughts almost by looking at him.
The heat on Lu Qingshi's face did not subside, but he was still determined not to ignore him lightly. After walking a few steps, his eyes couldn't help being drawn to a plate of ice cream.
It is prepared as an after-dinner dessert and placed in the freezer with white air. It's just a very simple shape, and the taste doesn't look very smooth and delicate. There are also small glittering ice balls, which are softly piled into hills, clearly revealing a strong milky fragrance, which is unexpectedly attractive.
Lu Qingshi is not forbidden to eat ice cream, as long as he doesn't eat too much, it will hurt his spleen and stomach. It's just that the ice cream that I often eat is carefully made by the chef at home. The shape is exquisite and the taste is changeable. I am used to eating it, but I especially miss this most common "common food".
Seeing that the young master's eyes were about to stick to him, Gu Song raised his eyebrows slightly, and calmly recorded the position. He was about to help him walk back, but suddenly noticed that Lu Qingshi's footsteps seemed to have stopped.
"Master, are you not feeling well?"
The young master is often dizzy these days, Gu Song immediately put his mind at ease, leaned over to stabilize the person, and raised his hand to touch his wrist pulse.
Lu Qingshi shook his head, took his hand and gently sent it back, his eyes fell behind him: "Someone called you."
"calls me?"
Just now I vaguely heard someone's greeting, but I didn't realize that I would be called by someone else. Gu Song was stunned, facing the unexpectedly calm light and shadow in his black eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Master, do I have to go?"
"It's the ninth prince of the Aowei royal family, it's hard to ignore him."
After all, the plot still has to go, Lu Deng slightly bent his mouth towards him and shook his hand: "Go, I'll wait for you here."
Feeling vaguely that the young master still has something to say, Gu Song stopped, and his undisguised deep gaze fell into those exceptionally clear and quiet black eyes, before nodding lightly after a long while: "Okay, young master, you have to wait, Don't run around."
"I'm standing here, you can see it when you turn around."
Lu Deng nodded, his eyes crossed for a moment with the world protagonist's hastily turned away, then smiled at Xuan Ting's figure beside him, and shook his hand.
The warm touch settled along the palm lines, Gu Song's expression relaxed, and after a brief shake, he released his hand and walked quickly towards the ninth prince who didn't know his intentions.
Lu Deng looked at his farther back, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Host, we can actually keep them out of contact!"
Over the years, seeing the host suffer with his own eyes, the system has completely turned his back and became a gang of pigs. In his mind, he said anxiously: "The insurance that the host bought last time has not been used up, and now it's too late to collapse again!"
"It's ok… "
Lu Deng was dumbfounded, his brows and his eyes narrowed, and he turned his head away: "How many experience points do you need for the solution we discussed earlier?"
In today's plot, the protagonist Antonio will crash everything by accident, have a fierce dispute with Lu Feng, and tell Gu Song, the core character, everything.
According to the old plot line, after getting everything, Gu Song will completely turn against the Lu family and try to escape with the support of the protagonist.
The consequences of this brain-domain exchange technology are too terrifying. Even in the interstellar world, research is explicitly prohibited. For the time being, only if the two sides have been together for many years, and the mental fluctuations and body frequencies are completely compatible, it is possible for the exchange to be successful. Once Gu Song escaped, everything would be in vain, which is why the Lu family recklessly took the risk.
Of course Lu Deng would not let such a thing really happen.
The main line of the plot is to make the ninth prince smoothly upgrade to the peak of his life, and the change of the Lu family is an important part of the downfall of the second prince. Changes of this magnitude will not completely shake the main line, and may cause more bumps on the road to the protagonist's upgrade, but as long as the plot is corrected in time, everything can be brought back on track.
If it's too late, it's not that he can't buy the world.
The system paused, and immediately reported the calculated results to him: "The host needs 50,000 experience points to change the plot line, but if the OOC people set up the plot line to change, it only needs 3,000 if there are previous insurance claims. Experience is enough!"
For a while, he couldn't think of what could be considered a plot change under OOC. Lu Deng was pondering, and an arrogant figure in Chinese clothes suddenly walked towards him from a distance.
Lu Deng was slightly startled, looked up, and frowned slightly.
It turned out that at this banquet, the second prince supported by the Lu family also came.
The plot introduction will not introduce too trivial plots. He has not seen the description of the second prince, indicating that the other party has not made much contribution in the original plot.
Most of the villains and supporting characters of the upgrade stream do not have a clear head, and can easily become the stepping stone of the protagonist. The second prince in front of him is probably also a representative of them.
Lu Deng didn't intend to have too much interaction with him. He staggered his eyes and wanted to stay away from him, but the second prince walked around him quickly and stopped him with great interest: "The little sick seedling of the Lu family?"
"Second Highness."
At least now Lu Jiaming apparently still belongs to the other party's forces, Lu Deng leaned over and saluted, was about to step back, but was blocked by an arm.
Lu Deng raised his head, his warm eyes revealed a clear politeness and alienation. The second prince, however, squinted his eyes with interest, and teasingly tore off the ribbon around his neck, raised his hand and touched his face.
"Your eldest brother took good care of you. It turned out to be such a good-looking one... He looks really good, come play with me? You haven't gone out to play, have you... "
"The host gets out of the way, I'll call him!"
The original plot's Lu Qingshi was so sick that he had to rely on a wheelchair to get in and out at this time, and he was full of thorns and sullenness. At the banquet, he made some unpleasant things. Naturally, he would not be targeted by this stupid Meng Lang's second prince.
Although it has been tried to deduce that the host will be molested, which will cause the Lu family to turn against the second prince, thus wrapping the plot back to the main line. But having witnessed this scene with my own eyes, the system was still so angry that the data scrambled, and took out its own electric shock whip.
Although Lu Deng doesn't have much strength now, it is not difficult to clean up a waste prince who has been hollowed out by the color of wine. Wen Yan smiled, and patiently replied to it in his mind: "It doesn't matter, I'll do it myself—"
Before he could think about it, a figure had already appeared beside him. When the second prince's hand immediately touched Lu Qingshi's cheek, he grabbed his collar and threw it out.
The deafening sound of the collision attracted the attention of many people in the blink of an eye. Lu Deng raised his head in surprise and said softly, "Third brother..."
Lu Nanxing rubbed his younger brother's head and greeted his father and eldest brother who hurriedly followed the sound.
…
The banquet hall was in chaos, and the second prince was knocked against the shelf holding the desserts. Antonio picked up the ice cream bowl, and finally managed to keep his unpromising second brother from spilling all over the place.
Seeing that the Lu family's father and son, who had confirmed the cause and effect, even began to expel the prince unceremoniously, the ninth prince, who was also sent to befriend, frowned, blocking Gu Song's hurried steps, showing some hatred in his eyes. Unfinished anger.
"Why haven't you seen it clearly! They can do anything for that little guy, even if they have a bad relationship with the royal family—"
Halfway through speaking, he felt inappropriate, Antonio stopped the conversation abruptly and lowered his voice: "What I told you is true! They really intend to give your body to Young Master Lu, not the kind of... You really know how to dead!"
"It's not that I haven't seen it clearly, it's that His Highness Ninth has not yet figured out my position."
This statement is obviously even more bizarre.
Gu Song smiled helplessly, confirming that the young master was well protected, then stopped, turned his eyes back to him, was silent for a moment, and then spoke very softly.
"If I die, I can be replaced by the young master, and I can live healthily and carefree... That's how lucky I am."
Of course, he knew that the Lu family had this plan. Even if the situation in the training ground three years ago could not be understood for a while, after a little thought, it was not difficult to understand what was going on.
He even quietly went to Lu Jueming later and asked him if there was a way to accomplish this. But Lu Jueming only strictly forbade him to think about it again, and no one in the family mentioned it again.
- If there is such a chance, the only reason that hinders him from doing it may be that he is afraid that his young master will be angry with him.
Antonio froze in place with the ice cream bowl in his arms, no matter what, he never imagined that someone would be so selfless. Seeing him turn around and leave, he couldn't help but come forward again: "But have you ever thought about it... Maybe they are deliberately being nice to you! They deliberately confuse you, then tame you, and make you die hard..."
After all, in the Lu family's territory, his voice was raised for a moment and then lowered again, watching the figure gradually stop and walk back towards him.
No one should be sacrificed in vain, there is nothing wrong with that.
Antonio looked up at him, but Gu Song just walked towards him and leaned over a little: "His Royal Highness is wrong."
His expression was as if he remembered something very long ago, the soft and real temperature swept across his brows bit by bit, and he cherished them in the deep pupils, and the end of his eyes showed a warm and nostalgic smile.
"Thirteen years ago... The first time I saw him in the snow and knew that he was my young master, I was already dead."
Antonio couldn't understand, and looked at him dazedly.
Gu Song smiled politely at him, picked up the whole bowl of ice cream from his arms, nodded slightly, and hurried back.
His young master still wants to eat.
