"Girlfriend, what girlfriend?" Zhao Li and the Ruanlin family had just come back from grocery shopping and hadn't even reached the door when they heard their son talking about a girlfriend. Zhao Li's face immediately fell, and she shouted as she walked in, "Lu Zishu, you've really got some nerve!"
"Were you guaranteed a spot at Qing University, or do you think you can get into Ye University? A girlfriend? I think you need a good beating to straighten you out, don't you?!!" With that, Zhao Li raised her hand, clearly about to hit Lu Zishu. He quickly jumped up and dodged nimbly.
"Mom, it's not me, I didn't, it was..." Lu Zishu waved his hands frantically, almost blurting out Ruan Lei's name. But as he turned his head, he met Ruan Lei's fierce gaze, as if daring him to say it, warning he'd never see another sunrise. That made him press his lips tightly shut.
He wasn't afraid of a beating! It was the bond of brotherhood; he couldn't say a word!
