Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Are You Afraid of Me?
“Xun Minzhi sent me the photo of you and Qi Lu, I know the fourth young master of the Qi Family, just like he inquired, he told me.”
Lu Zhanxing didn’t hide it.
He impulsively ran to look for Qiao Yun.
Once there, he didn’t know what he could do, hesitating whether to leave, Qiao Yun approached him.
Qiao Yun observed Lu Zhanxing’s facial expressions.
His face was as usual, showing no awe or estrangement due to her identity as Professor Qiao.
Qiao Yun thought to herself, her second brother was indeed different from others.
Qiao Yun asked, “Have you calmed down?”
“What?” Lu Zhanxing looked confused.
“Your emotions, have they calmed down?”
Suddenly, Qiao Yun reached out and grabbed the hem of Lu Zhanxing’s clothes as if she feared he would flee in panic.
This second brother was too clever, and also prone to overthinking.
Lu Zhanxing looked surprised, his lips trembling.
His heart was thumping wildly, very anxiously and worriedly.
“You can’t control your emotions.”
Lu Zhanxing suddenly turned his head to look at Qiao Yun, his face filled with fear, “Sister, how do you know…”
He stopped speaking abruptly.
His sister is Professor Qiao, undoubtedly with significant backing; getting information about him wasn’t very difficult.
“Now that you know, if you don’t want to get hurt, stay away from me,” Lu Zhanxing’s throat was choked, and he looked down, not daring to meet Qiao Yun’s eyes.
Fearing he would see disgust or fear.
Qiao Yun shook her head, her gaze firm, “Don’t think too much, it’s okay.”
Lu Zhanxing’s issue wasn’t severe; he just occasionally couldn’t control his emotions.
When faced with something that angered him, he would vent his feelings through violence.
He was raised by his grandparents, the older generation taught strictly, and from a young age, he had to learn to control his emotions.
Whatever the situation, he needed to learn to cope calmly.
While he suppressed himself, he also clamored for rebellion.
Only after becoming an adult did he finally have the right to rebel and ventured into the entertainment industry.
The parents of the Lu family didn’t know about Lu Zhanxing’s circumstances, and he wouldn’t say anything for fear of worrying them.
He hadn’t expected the first person to find out would be his sister.
“Aren’t you afraid of me?” Lu Zhanxing’s feelings were complex, wanting his sister to fear him, yet also wanting her not to be afraid.
“I’m not afraid,” Qiao Yun looked at him, showing no signs of backing down, “There’s nothing to be afraid of; if you were to harm me, I’d tie you up.”
Lu Zhanxing: “…”
He glanced at his sister’s slender arms and legs, his gaze skeptical.
Seeing that Lu Zhanxing didn’t believe her, Qiao Yun added, “Are you afraid of me?”
“Why should I be afraid of you?” Now it was Lu Zhanxing who was puzzled.
“I am Professor Qiao, are you afraid of me?”
It seemed from Qiao Yun’s eyes, Lu Zhanxing saw a fleeting care, a brief but still painful emotion to his heart.
“No matter what identity you have, you’re just my sister.”
Previously unaware of Qiao Yun’s identity, he revered and admired Professor Qiao.
Now that he knew, although shocked, when he looked at Qiao Yun, besides disbelief, all he felt was affection.
“You’re not afraid of me, and I won’t be afraid of you,” Qiao Yun said. “I remember you had such a personality even back then.”
Lu Zhanxing wasn’t ill; he had just borne it too long in the past, misconceiving his true nature as sickness.
Lu Zhanxing was stunned.
He indeed resembled a ticking bomb as a child.
His parents always worried that he would cause trouble as he grew up.
Lu Zhanxing suddenly realized it was his overthinking. Even if being reckless, he wouldn’t harm his sister.
On the contrary, deliberately staying away from her was actually hurting her.
“I’m sorry…”
