Chapter 221 Extra (1) Parallel World 26
Lin Shihe absolutely refused to believe that his dim-witted younger brother could manipulate Lu Yuxi so easily.
This unscientific.
He racked his brains, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
When did you find out he liked you? How did you know?
When Lin Shiming was caught and questioned, he tilted his head and recalled, "It was more than a year ago. It seems that after dealing with something, he avoided me for a day, and then he started to use all sorts of tricks."
The conversations about future plans, such as "a handsome man emerging from a bath," "sharing teacups and tableware," and "sharing a blanket," suddenly increased with many unintentional physical contacts, as well as fingers that kept probing but then stopped at the last centimeter outside Lin Shiming's waist and back.
Lin Shiming may not be clever, but he is not blind, and he is highly skilled in martial arts with keen senses. It can be said that he is fully aware of Lu Yuxi's underhanded actions.
"His actions practically made it clear that he wanted to pursue me."
That's true. Even a fool would notice such an obvious tactic, let alone Lin Shiming, who is no fool.
He enjoyed watching Lu Yuxi rack her brains to get close to him and please him, yet she could only suppress her feelings due to etiquette.
People who love to have fun always have to find something fun in everything they do.
Moreover, Lin Shiming knew perfectly well that he deserved it. He deserved the best of everything in the world.
"Later, I felt sorry for him, and considering how much effort he had put into arranging my birthday banquet, which was also his confession banquet, I just went along with it and agreed! After all, he's good-looking, has a good character, and we clicked. I need someone to spend my life with."
His parents would pass away before him, and no matter how much his elder brother loved him, he would have to devote his attention to his wife and children.
Lin Shiming arrived in this world in a daze, feeling out of place and unsure of where he belonged. His thoughts and values differed greatly from those of this place, and even though his family had painstakingly paved the way for him, he still felt somewhat lost.
This does not mean that he did not love the Lin family, or that the Lin family did not love him. This is an unavoidable ideological gap spanning thousands of years.
The ancients are not seen before, and the comers are not seen later.
Of course, General Lin didn't have that kind of literary talent. In the eyes of the narcissistic General Lin, this sentiment was called "genius is always lonely."
Therefore, he longs for someone who is completely his own, someone with whom he shares a deep understanding and is intimately connected, someone who can accompany him through all four seasons, so that he can find peace and a sense of belonging.
So, on the third day after Lu Yuxi showed signs of wanting to be with him, he had already agreed in his heart.
But he just wouldn't say it, and with his twisted sense of humor, he made her go to great lengths to seduce him for half a year before she finally nodded "reluctantly."
In recent years, all the little bit of cunning he had had was focused on Lu Yuxi. Lin Shihe couldn't help but feel sorry for poor Lu Yuxi.
"And you, why keep them hanging on like that, saying yes or no?"
"?" Lin Shiming's big eyes widened in confusion. "No, what do you mean? Now is not the time for you to break up this loving couple?"
Lin Shihe's face stiffened with embarrassment when he realized he had almost chosen the wrong side, but he quickly recovered.
"What does this have to do with whether I agree or not? This is a problem with your approach to things; they're two different things!"
Lin Shiming didn't respond, but just suppressed a wicked smile as he looked at his brother.
Feeling mocked, Lin Shihe looked away, calmly changing the subject, "I hadn't finished asking. Do you know why he likes you?"
Lin Shiming also saw that his brother was talking about something else, but he was in a situation where he had committed a lot of crimes and could be punished at any time, so he did not dare to seize the opportunity to argue with his brother as usual, and instead continued to talk about the topic from the heart.
"I don't know. I'm not a mind reader."
"..."
Lin Shihe was amused by his innocent yet self-righteous answer.
Oh boy, that’s what it is.
The younger brother is still the same incapable brother who can't read people's minds. It's not that his brother has become smarter; he can simply see through Lu Yuxi's almost openly provocative seduction and torment people according to his own mischievous habits. He remains completely oblivious to Lu Yuxi's true intentions and motives.
It was only by sheer luck that he managed to create the illusion that he had the meticulous Prince Jin completely under his control.
Peel back the skin, and inside remains the same innocent Young Master Lin.
For a moment, Lin Shihe was unsure whether to admire his understanding of his younger brother or worry about the fact that his brother was still mentally challenged. But one thing was clear to him: no matter what, Lin Shiming could not become a love-struck fool who lost himself in love.
"Alright, let's not discuss this issue for now." Lin Shihe became serious. "You are both men, so you won't have children to tie you down. Can you be sure he wants to spend his whole life with you? Besides, he is a prince, a noble king. There are so many intrigues and conflicts of interest around him! How do you know if you are his first choice?"
Lin Shihe's voice grew increasingly serious, clearly indicating that he had stumbled upon his true concerns. As the elder brother, he was truly worried sick about his younger brother.
Fortunately, although Lin Shiming was not good at scheming, he was always clear-headed and resolute.
“Brother, I will not become a ‘resentful abandoned woman’.” Lin Shiming placed his hands on the table, then rested his head on it, tilting his head to look at his brother. “He can’t beat me, and I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t respect himself.”
"Love others, love yourself first. I will not forget who I am, nor will I place myself on others. If he treats me badly in the future, I will not let him off the hook. I will find a remote mountain wilderness to bury him, and I will never entrust my body and soul to those young girls."
Lin Shihe felt relieved.
This is his fearless, bright, and sunny younger brother!
It has never changed.
"You're right, but I have one thing to remind you."
Lin Shiming pricked up his ears curiously.
"Send a message home before you kill him, and your brother will clean up the mess for you."
*
The two brothers happily reached an agreement.
Letting go of his guilt and anxiety, Lin Shiming felt much more relaxed. He stretched and then lazily flopped onto the couch, "Brother~ Food!"
The tone was extremely disgusting.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shihe did not scold him with disdain, but actually stepped out of the room and said something to the guards waiting at the door.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people filed in.
Lin Shiming subconsciously turned his head to look, and then thrashed about like a fish out of water.
"Brother...is this dinner?"
He looked incredulously at the bench and batons that the guards had brought in, his voice trembling with undisguised fear.
"Didn't we already talk this out just now?!"
Lin Shihe turned around and smiled at him.
“I’ve always been clear about right and wrong. We’re not talking about your marriage to Lu Yuxi! I like your attitude towards love,” Lin Shihe said, his tone gradually turning sinister. “But you have to settle all your scores today!”
"You disobeyed my orders and readily agreed to Lu Yuxi's words, secretly dating a prince from the royal family! When I told you to be confined and made to kneel, you outwardly complied but inwardly ran away. And most importantly, you were the bottom one!"
Lin Shiming was already trembling.
"If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'll make sure you're bedridden for a whole month..."
Even with disaster looming, Lin Shiming couldn't control his sharp tongue, "So you'll take my surname?"
Lin Shihe smiled grimly, "Let's start all over again from the beginning."
"!!!"
"Help! The Duke of Zhenguo has killed someone!"
