Siyu didn't notice Lu Xingzhou's existence. At this moment, the tall man in front of her had his arms around her waist, and her entire body was almost thrown into his arms. At such a close distance, she could even smell the faint sandalwood fragrance on Fifth Master Lu's body. It was light but abnormally pleasant.
However, most importantly, Siyu felt that if she continued to stay, she might vomit blood and die.
"Let … cough cough, let me down …" As soon as Siyu opened her mouth to speak, she couldn't help but cough up blood. Her voice was intermittent. Although she tried to maintain her imposing manner, when it floated to Fifth Master Lu's ears, it sounded soft and didn't have the slightest bit of deterrence.
Because it was really too uncomfortable, Siyu unconsciously grabbed Fifth Master Lu's arm and panted lightly. She wanted to break free, but her feet were in the air and she couldn't exert any strength. The hand on her waist was like an iron brand. No matter how she struggled, it still didn't move. Siyu didn't have much strength left after vomiting a large mouthful of blood. After struggling like this, she was completely unable to move. She could only use her hands to support Fifth Master Lu's chest and try her best to increase the distance between the two of them, silently conveying her resistance.
Although … the results were minimal.
Since force didn't work, Siyu, who had a strong desire to live, guessed that this person should be difficult to talk to. She could only soften her tone and say with a hint of pleading, "Please, just keep a little distance from me … cough cough, you're like this, cough cough, I can't breathe …"
She couldn't help but cough a few more times. The murderous aura that was everywhere firmly surrounded her, and the man's aura overbearingly squeezed into her lungs inch by inch. Si Yu had never seen such a valiant and oppressive aura. She only felt her heartbeat uncontrollably quicken — she was frightened.
Forgive her, whether in her previous life or this life, she was a law-abiding good citizen and a qualified successor of socialism. Every day, she conscientiously stayed at home and drew her little manga. Although she liked to draw melodramatic stories of domineering CEOs, it didn't mean that she was willing to meet such a person in her life!
Thinking of this, the double psychological and physical grievances made Siyu's eyes turn red. She almost cried and begged Fifth Master Lu to let her go, but a little whimper inadvertently came out of her mouth.
It sounded like a kitten meowing.
This pitiful final struggle aroused Fifth Master Lu's interest. He lowered his head. The little girl in front of him had red almond-shaped eyes. The fear in her eyes was so obvious that he couldn't pretend not to see it. Moreover, he had seen Siyu vomiting blood just now. Fifth Master Lu was used to seeing bloody things, so he could tell at a glance that Siyu wasn't pretending.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Fifth Master Lu put the Siyu back on the ground. However, Fifth Master Lu pretended that he had never heard the Siyu's request to "stay away from me". Not only did he not pull her away, but he also used some force and pulled the Siyu closer.
As soon as Siyu's feet touched the ground, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she was forced to lean against the man's chest in the blink of an eye. A look of astonishment appeared on her face.
This ignorant look seemed to amuse Fifth Master Lu. The corners of his lips curved, and a secret smile flashed across his face. It was good for a fragile little animal to be a little vigilant, but it was too naive to believe that the hunter would give up on the prey in his hands.
Then, Fifth Master Lu stretched out the hand that was still holding the prayer beads to Siyu. His palm was flat, and he said, "Give me your right hand."
His tone was flat. It wasn't an order, but it was better than one. Siyu was stunned. She looked down and saw that the hand that was stretched out was beautiful and elegant, like a work of art. However, Siyu wasn't in the mood to pay attention to this at this time. Her mind was filled with thoughts of slipping away as soon as possible. She was about to refuse when she suddenly felt the aura in front of her turn cold. Her hair stood on end.
Siyu was already afraid of the huge murderous aura on Fifth Master Lu's body. At this moment, she was so scared that she trembled. She subconsciously obeyed his words and put her right hand in his broad palm.
The moment their skin touched, that unbearable hot feeling attacked Siyu again. She suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had done something stupid. Siyu hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but it was too late. Fifth Master Lu closed his palm and easily wrapped it around her slender wrist. His index and middle fingers came together, and he pressed on Siyu's pulse.
"Both qi and blood are deficient. The loss is too great, resulting in an imbalance of yin and yang. Although it doesn't endanger your life, it will cause many inconveniences. Was it like this when you were born?" Fifth Master Lu was still controlling Siyu's lifeline. When her lifeline was held by someone else, Siyu was so scared that she didn't dare to move. When she heard Fifth Master Lu's question, she was surprised for a moment before she reacted.
This person was … taking her pulse?
Seeing that Siyu didn't answer, Fifth Master Lu didn't care. He continued to feel the pulse under his finger and said, "The medicine you're taking now is useless. Stop."
As he spoke, he listed out the Chinese medicine ingredients Siyu took one by one. The more Siyu listened, the more surprised she became. Because what he said was completely correct, there was nothing missing! No way … It was just taking her pulse. He could even tell what medicine she usually took?
Unknowingly, Fifth Master Lu's image in her heart had been upgraded from "an unreasonable lunatic" to "an unreasonable lunatic who seemed to have some skills". However, although his medical skills seemed to be excellent, in Siyu's heart, he was an existence that she must stay away from!
Siyu said cautiously, "I've always taken these medicines. I can't afford any more expensive ones. You can let me go now …"
She moved her wrist but couldn't break free.
This panicked attitude of avoiding him like the plague made Fifth Master Lu unhappy. However, he cultivated in seclusion all year round. Even if there were great waves in his heart, it wouldn't be seen by others. Therefore, he only said indifferently, "It's useless no matter how much you eat. Later, I'll have Xing Zhou send you a few boxes of good ones."
Fifth Master Lu never let women get close to him. However, at this time, when he held Siyu, he didn't show much disgust. Instead, he felt satisfied. Of course, he wasn't satisfied with Siyu as a person. Instead, he was satisfied with the ice-cold temperature of her body. When he held it, it was very comfortable. It could very effectively relieve the heat in his body, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Just like the piece of white marble that he used to like very much, Fifth Master Lu thought that before he could find a substitute, it seemed to be okay to keep such a cool little girl as his humanoid refrigerant. After all, living people were always more interesting than dead things.
Therefore, he glanced to the side and looked at Lu Xingzhou, who hadn't dared to make a sound and was trying hard to reduce his presence. He called out, "Xing Zhou, did you hear that?"
As soon as he heard Fifth Master Lu say this, before Lu Xingzhou could respond, Siyu was the first to be frightened. Did he mean that they would meet again in the future? Don't!
With this nervousness, Siyu was a little incoherent. She didn't even know what she was saying. "No, no, no, it's fine as long as you stay away from me …"
As long as she could stay away from this great demon, she could take a few breaths of good fortune and immediately be lively again!
Siyu's words, which didn't know the gravity of the situation, caused Fifth Master Lu's smile to deepen. Lu Xingzhou, who was looking down, also secretly cursed. Over the years, anyone who defied Fifth Master Lu was now two meters tall in their graves, not to mention resisting his arrangements in front of him … Lu Xingzhou thought silently. He had seen it once when he was young and frivolous, but what happened to that person … he still didn't dare to inquire about it.
Therefore, Lu Xingzhou could only obediently agree. "Fifth Master, I understand."
Just now, he was immersed in speculations about whether or not he would be silenced. Only now did he dare to raise his head. When he saw Siyu's appearance clearly, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but curse in his heart. How could there be such a coincidence? Wasn't this girl the Zhou Siyu that Fifth Master Lu personally ordered to "pay a visit to apologize"?! A few days ago, his subordinate had presented detailed information about Zhou Siyu. Lu Xingzhou had seen that photo many times. There was no way he was mistaken!
What should he do? Should he remind Fifth Master that this girl was his handpicked "benefactor"? Lu Xingzhou thought sadly. But looking at the current situation, if he spoke up, wouldn't it be a slap to Fifth Master's face? If that happened, he would definitely be caught and thrown into the river!
While Lu Xingzhou was in a dilemma, the sound of high-heeled footsteps suddenly came from not far away. A figure rushed in through the stone path, followed by a female voice that pretended to be calm. "Zhou Siyu, come out. I have something to talk to you about!"
Xu Qingwan appeared in front of the three people as soon as she turned the corner. She obviously didn't expect there to be other people in the garden. She had followed Siyu all the way here and was full of resentment. Before she could steady herself, she said, "Zhou Siyu, don't think that I don't know what you're planning. With your current status, what qualifications do you have to attend Huanyi's banquet? You're here just to suck up to someone powerful! Aren't you just trying to climb up the social ladder?! Don't think that your background is still a secret. If I tell Lady Ji about your despicable thoughts, believe it or not, there won't be a place for you in Jiangcheng. A Lin also won't … "
Xu Qingwan had already prepared a speech before she came, so she spoke very righteously. Although she couldn't come into contact with people at the level of the Duan Rulan and had been ignored by Ji Lin, Xu Qingwan still believed that everything would return to normal. The most important thing now was to get rid of Zhou Siyu, this woman who was so bad that she couldn't be saved!
After saying so much in one breath, Xu Qingwan realized that Siyu wasn't the only one standing next to the rockery. There were two other men she didn't know. She was stunned and quickly shut her mouth.
However, although Xu Qingwan had never seen these two people before, she could sense their demeanor and temperament. Especially the man in the Tang suit standing next to Siyu, Xu Qingwan was even more stunned. She had lived for two lifetimes and had seen all kinds of outstanding men. Not to mention others, just Ji Lin was also very dazzling. However, even if these people stood together, Xu Qingwan felt that they were far less dazzling than the man in the Tang suit. This temperament wasn't dazzling. Instead, it was reserved, like the unfathomable sea.
Xu Qingwan almost reflexively put on the most elegant posture. She pursed her lips, as if the person who had angrily questioned her just now wasn't her. She took small steps closer to Fifth Master Lu, her eyes rippling with shyness. "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know there was someone here. I just came to see a friend …"
Siyu curled her lips speechlessly. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough softly. Blood overflowed from the corner of her lips. She was about to raise her hand to wipe it away, but someone else beat her to it. Siyu was stunned. She looked up and saw Fifth Master Lu using his fingertips to wipe away the blood. Then, he stared at the blood on his fingertips with an obscure expression.
He only had eyes for Siyu, as if the stammering Xu Qingwan standing there was just a mass of air.
"Since you're not feeling well, let Xingzhou send you back first. Is your villa empty? " The last sentence was directed to Lu Xingzhou. After receiving an affirmative reply, Fifth Master Lu nodded slightly. "Go ahead. Remember to have someone make a bowl of ginseng soup and send it over."
"Is there something wrong with you?" Siyu finally couldn't take it anymore. She thought it was over. Who would have thought that this lunatic actually wanted to kidnap her on the spot? Who the hell was this person? Was there no law?
"Let go, let me go back! I came with a friend. If I go missing, she'll definitely call the police! " The good citizen Siyu couldn't think of any threats at the moment, so she could only use the most primitive method. Although she wasn't confident in her heart, looking at this man's calm and composed appearance, perhaps calling the police wouldn't be much of a deterrent to him …
Sure enough, Fifth Master Lu only gave a faint "Mm" to show that he understood. However, his decision didn't waver in the slightest.
"Sir!" At this time, Xu Qingwan also spoke up. She stared at Fifth Master Lu's hand holding Siyu's waist. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable with the intimate contact between these two people. Such a charming man obviously had an extraordinary background. How did Zhou Siyu know him? She didn't deserve it!
Xu Qingwan took two steps forward and happened to block in front of Fifth Master Lu. Her face was flushed, and she subconsciously stroked her long hair. She lowered her eyebrows and eyes and said shyly, "Sir, let me help her to the lounge. There's no need to trouble you. I'm her friend, Xu Qingwan. It's nice to meet you. If you don't mind, can I invite you to the ball later? "
Hearing Xu Qingwan say her name, Siyu's eyes suddenly widened. Wait … Xu Qingwan? The female lead of her manga, Xu Qingwan??
Wait, what's with Xu Qingwan's shy little girl attitude? Shouldn't her partner be Ji Lin? Why is she suddenly infatuated with another man? Siyu noticed Xu Qingwan's expression and felt unwell.
While Siyu was digesting this information, Fifth Master Lu frowned unhappily. He didn't even want to look at this woman who suddenly rushed out and spouted nonsense, let alone pay attention to her. Thus, he only tilted his head and called out, "Xingzhou."
Lu Xingzhou immediately understood. He took a step forward and blocked Xu Qingwan's naked and straightforward gaze at Fifth Master Lu. The cowardly look he had in front of Fifth Master Lu completely disappeared, revealing the sharpness unique to the Lu family. He said in a low voice, "Next time, don't be so blind and rush out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xingzhou raised his hand and directly knocked Xu Qingwan unconscious. Then, he grabbed Xu Qingwan by the back of her collar like a sack and made a phone call with the other hand. In less than half a minute, several men in black silently arrived, picked up Xu Qingwan, and silently retreated.
"Where are you taking her …" After knowing who Xu Qingwan was, Siyu, as Xu Qingwan's mother, couldn't help but tremble with fear. This kind of gangster attitude was too scary!
"Don't worry, we're just taking her to the guest room upstairs to sleep for a while." Lu Xingzhou turned around. He suddenly didn't know how to address Siyu. He secretly sized up Fifth Master Lu's expression, but couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he could only give up.
After getting rid of Xu Qingwan, it was Siyu's turn. No matter how much she protested, it was useless. The group of men in black from before came out of nowhere and surrounded her. Even when she got into a low-key luxury car, Siyu still didn't understand how things had come to this point. However, the difference between her treatment and Xu Qingwan's was like heaven and earth. Except for the fact that she couldn't run, everyone was polite to her. Lu Xingzhou even specially placed a soft cushion and pillow where she sat.
Siyu wanted to ask about their origins, but their mouths were all zipped up and they were all silent. Only Lu Xingzhou occasionally spoke a few words to her. However, when Fifth Master Lu was mentioned, Lu Xingzhou calmly changed the topic, appearing to be very afraid.
In the end, perhaps because Siyu was annoyed by his questions, Lu Xingzhou helplessly replied, "Sigh, don't worry. As long as you're obedient, Fifth Master won't kill you to eat."
Siyu felt much better after leaving Fifth Master Lu's side. Moreover, Lu Xingzhou, who was sitting next to her, was very lucky. Siyu breathed in her good fortune for a while before she finally recovered. When she heard Lu Xingzhou's promise, she faintly asked, "What if he has a sudden impulse?"
"…" Lu Xingzhou thought to himself that Fifth Master Lu wasn't even interested in living, so what was he worrying about? He casually replied, "Oh, then you just wash up and wait."
Siyu: "…!!" She was even more scared, okay!
