As Lu Shu was thinking about his bright future of earning hundreds of millions merely by hugging his sisters a few times every month, Lu Xue was secretly feeling wronged because she had somehow lost to Lu Mingyu despite being the first one to give him a bank card.
Meanwhile, Lu Mingyu was sitting proudly with her chin slightly raised, chest puffed out feeling as though she had won an invisible competition that nobody else knew existed.
Li Qing watched her children interact while a gentle smile appeared on her face.
The mansion felt less like a luxurious residence and more like a family home.
At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly sniffed the air several times.
His nose twitched repeatedly as if he had discovered something unusual nearby.
The strange expression on his face immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Lu Mingyu tilted her head slightly before asking with curiosity, “Little Shu’er, what exactly are you smelling so seriously?
You look like a police dog searching for evidence.”
Before Lu Shu could answer her question, Lu Mingyu seemed to arrive at her own conclusion.
A mischievous smile immediately appeared on her face as she glanced toward Lu Xue.
“I understand now.
Little Shu’er must have smelled something from Second Sister.” The more she spoke, the brighter her smile became.
“Sister Xue spends all day working inside hospitals.
Maybe our little brother discovered some hidden body odor that you failed to notice.”
Lu Xue slowly turned her head toward Lu Mingyu.
Her face remained calm and elegant, but Li Qing instantly felt danger approaching.
After raising three daughters for more than twenty years, she possessed enough experience to recognize when one daughter was about to step directly into a trap.
Unfortunately, Lu Mingyu remained completely unaware of the crisis she had created for herself.
Before Lu Shu could speak, Lu Xue slowly turned her head.
Her smile was very gentle.
“I’m pretty sure,” she said calmly, “that Little Shu isn’t smelling my body.
He is smelling something black.” Li Qing froze.
Lu Mingyu froze.
Both women simultaneously entered deep thought.
Something black?
What black thing?
Neither understood.
Then suddenly—
Lu Mingyu’s eyes lit up.
“Ohhh!
I get it!” She pointed dramatically.
“Sister Xue!
So Little Shu is smelling your blackened armpits!” The living room became silent.
“Sister Xue, you are a respected surgeon with countless patients relying on you every day.
If your armpits become dark from overworking yourself, what will your patients think?
What will your colleagues think?
More importantly, what will our adorable little brother think?” Lu Mingyu continued her suicidal act.
The living room immediately became silent.
Lu Xue’s thoughts: Very good.
Truly excellent.
I spent the entire night saving lives and returned home exhausted, only for my dear younger sister to begin discussing my armpits and body odor before my long-lost brother.
Such family affection is truly moving.
Lu Xue’s thoughts: Perhaps medical school should include a course on how to legally dispose of younger sisters.
Li Qing quietly stood up from her seat.
Li Qing’s thoughts: No.
Absolutely not. This story is hosted at g.com.
I have already raised them into adulthood.
Whatever happens next is no longer my responsibility.
If Mingyu wishes to challenge death itself, then I shall respect her decision and observe from a safe distance.
I gave birth to both of them.
That means i am equally responsible, therefore i am leaving.
Without saying a word, Li Qing calmly walked away from the battlefield.
Her expression remained dignified and graceful but her speed was way faster then graceful walking throughout the retreat.
Anyone who did not know her well would never guess she was fleeing for her life.
As Lu Xue’s mother, Li Qing understood her daughter perfectly.
Most of the time, Lu Xue was gentle.
Kind.
Patient.
A true angel.
Unfortunately—
When her temper finally exploded, she transformed into something closer to a horror movie phycopath.
Meanwhile, Lu Shu could clearly feel the atmosphere around Lu Xue changing.
Although he could not read minds, he could sense emotional fluctuations through cursed energy.
The amount of negativity gathering around his second sister was increasing at an alarming rate.
If anger could deal damage physically, then Lu Xue had probably reached ICU already.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Second Sister looked like a gentle angel only moments ago.
Now she feels significantly more dangerous than before.
Perhaps doctors become frightening after spending too much time around sharp surgical instruments.
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Lu Xue’s face.
The smile was beautiful.
The smile was elegant.
The smile immediately caused Lu Mingyu’s confidence to evaporate.
“My dear Third Sister,” Lu Xue said in an unusually soft yet cold voice, “it has been over ten years since we last had a proper conversation.”
The moment those words entered her ears, Lu Mingyu’s body trembled slightly.
She recognized that tone far too well.
Every time Lu Xue spoke in such a gentle manner, somebody suffered shortly afterward.
Unfortunately, that somebody is now her.
Lu Mingyu’s thoughts: Not good.
This is extremely not good.
Sister Xue only speaks like this when she speaks.
Impossible!
That monster should still be asleep.
Lu Mingyu pointed at Lu Xue.
“Y-You…”
“You woke up?”
A strange laugh echoed.
Quite like Uchiha style laughter.
“Hahaha…Ahahaha…”
“My silly little sister.”
My dear sister, I indeed was forced to sleep 10 years ago.”
“But I woke up after a month.”
“I simply watched everything through Xue’s eyes.”
“Every stupid decision you made.”
“Every failed painting you painted.”
“Every burnt blackened dish you cooked.”
Lu Mingyu’s soul nearly left her body.
Lu Mue’s smile widened slightly before she continued.
“My dear sister, perhaps you have forgotten something important.
You are currently cooking breakfast.
Little Shu’er was smelling food from the kitchen.
Instead of checking your burned, blackened cooking, however, you decided to hold a public discussion regarding my armpits.”
For several seconds, Lu Mingyu simply stared blankly.
Then she remembered.
The kitchen.
The stove.
The food.
The smell.
Everything connected together instantly.
“I need to check the kitchen!”
After shouting those words, Lu Mingyu immediately stood up and rushed toward the kitchen.
She did not care whether the food was burning, whether the soup had overflowed, or whether the stove had exploded, or the kitchen is on fire.
At this moment, she simply needed a valid excuse to escape from Lu Mue’s sight.
Before disappearing into the kitchen, she looked back toward Lu Shu.
The expression in her eyes was extremely complicated.
There was sympathy, apology, helplessness, and perhaps even a small amount of guilt.
It was the sort of look soldiers might exchange before entering a dangerous battlefield.
Lu Shu watched her retreating figure with complete confusion.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: What was that look supposed to mean?
Was she wishing me luck?
Was she warning me about Second Sister?
Was she saying goodbye forever?
We reunited only this morning, yet she abandoned me immediately when danger appeared.
Is this how sibling relationships normally function in wealthy families?
The more Lu Shu thought about everything that had happened, the more unbelievable his situation seemed.
During the last two days alone, he had recovered memories from two previous lives, repaired his damaged soul, discovered numerous illnesses inside his body, broken several bones, pre stage liver cancer, discovered Lin Mo’s collection of injuries and cancers, learned about Lu Xie’s complicated love life, learned of two different Ji Bodas, found eldest sister cheated in her marriage, she cheated with a girl, eldest sister is a lesbian, she also has two breast cancers and finally reunited with two nww sisters.
And both sisters personalities seemed increasingly abnormal.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Third Sister is a jewelry designer, actress, painter, cook, and wealthy young lady.
Second Sister is a famous surgeon capable of saving countless lives.
Eldest Sister is the president of a large company.
On paper, my family sounds like the protagonist group of an inspirational drama.
In reality, however, they seem more like characters who escaped from completely different novels and somehow ended up living together.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Honestly, even those brain-dead novels from my previous life would not, never, ever write such outrageous plots.
If, by any chance my current life truly is a novel, then I sincerely hope the author finds a job paying hundreds of millions every year, marries a beautiful wife like my Third Sister, enjoys a peaceful life, and stops creating increasingly ridiculous situations for me every single day.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Li Qing silently listened while suppressing her laughter.
Lu Mue remained expressionless, though the anger inside her had already faded considerably.
The only person still suffering was Lu Shu, who genuinely could not decide whether his third reincarnation was a blessing, a curse, or some elaborate prank created by fate itself.
