The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 53
byChapter 53 Thump thump thump thump
Xu Wen returned to his work station in a daze, his heart still beating fast.
He lay on the table and buried his hot face in his arms. His mind was filled with the warmth and breath of Lu Qingrang’s hug just now.
How could someone be as…so good as Lu Qingrang.
He is very good-looking, can cook like a chef, and has such a gentle personality.
Just, isn’t it a little too clingy?
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, but I said I missed him and hugged him…
Thinking of this, Xu Wen suddenly felt a subtle confusion in his heart.
He was alone in his previous life and had no experience in close relationships. At this moment, he vaguely felt that this between brothers seemed a bit… excessive?
He couldn’t help but whisper in his heart: “System, will this happen between brothers? After not seeing each other for a long time, I thought, why don’t I give you a hug?”
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, making it difficult to speak.
[According to logical judgment, deep brotherhood is often accompanied by strong bonds.After the target person experiences major trauma, he regards the host as his only safe haven, and the strong attachment behavior is in line with the typical characteristics of psychology.】
[Conclusion: You are brothers who have a very harmonious relationship.】
The steady electronic sound of the system sounded in my mind without any emotional ups and downs.
“Oh… yes, good brother.”
The systematic analysis made Xu Wen’s unclear doubts disappear instantly.
Xu Wen lay back on the table again, Lu Qingrang’s gentle smile appeared in his mind, and the confusion in his heart was immediately replaced by great satisfaction and happiness.
Yes, they are the best brothers in the world!
He giggled there for a long time and couldn’t stop.
After a while, Xu Wen finally recovered from his dazed state and rubbed his cheeks that were sore from laughing.
The thermos box was still placed quietly on the table, and the vague residual warmth seemed to remind him of something.
Xu Wen sat upright again and reached out to open the warm box.
The moment the lid was opened, the rich and fragrant meat smell hit your face. The bright red braised pork lay quietly on the rice, with two green vegetables dotted next to it.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat and thin meat and put it into his mouth.
The meat is crispy and melts in your mouth, and the sauce has just the right amount of salty and sweet flavor, which is his favorite taste.
While he was eating with satisfaction, he habitually took out his mobile phone and slid his fingers unconsciously across the short video platform.
At first, all he saw were funny jokes and cute pet videos, and he still had a smile on his face.
Until a crudely produced financial revelation video with a sensational title popped up:
“Exclusive news! Suspicions about the Nangong family have arisen again, and the status of the heir Nangong Chen is unstable? The ‘Sky Vault Project’ may undergo huge changes!”
Xu Wen’s chewing movement suddenly paused, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
In the video, a voice with a voice changer was pretending to be mysterious and analyzing some sporadic internal information, saying that Nangong Chen had recently encountered strong challenges on the board of directors and that core projects had encountered unknown technical bottlenecks…
These contents are true and false, mixed with a lot of speculation, which is a typical marketing account technique.
But a chill ran down Xu Wen’s spine.
He knows that there is no smoke without fire.
These rumors, which seemed sensational to outsiders, fell into his ears, but he pieced together completely different information.
He put down his chopsticks and felt that the office that was warm just now seemed to have cold wind pouring in from all directions.
The coldness made Xu Wenshi tasteless.
He subconsciously clicked on the share button of the video, his fingertips hovered over the name “L” for a moment, and then he pressed it.
He added a sentence: [Brother Lu, this is what happened…]
Messages are returned almost instantly.
L: [I saw it.】
L: [These half-truths and half-false news are coming out, which is expected.Don’t worry.】
Xu Wen stared at the line of words, and his tense nerves relaxed a little, but his fingers still couldn’t help typing: [Are you really okay?I’m guessing from the comments below…]
This time, “typing” appears above the chat box for a moment.
L: [I will tell you all progress as soon as possible.】
L: [Now, you just need to believe me.】
Looking at this line of words with calm power, Xu Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had found his backbone.
Yes, he has Lu Qingrang.
He didn’t need to make random guesses, he just needed to trust him.
The big stone in my heart seemed to be gently moved away by these words.
He picked up the chopsticks again, mixed the slightly cool braised pork into the rice, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
This time, he finally tasted that reassuring taste again.
After finishing his meal, he packed up his lunch box neatly, took a deep breath, temporarily put those chaotic thoughts behind him, and refocused his attention on the computer screen in front of him.
The sky outside the window was still gloomy, but Xu Wen’s heart had calmed down.
The afternoon passed smoothly with the sound of keyboard tapping.
When he got off work, Li Yue came over again, with a perfect smile on his face:
“Brother Wen, we happen to be on our way, let’s walk to the station together?”
Xu Wen had no doubt that he was there and readily agreed: “Okay.”
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people.
Along the way, Li Yue first chatted about interesting things at work, and then talked about the movies he had watched recently. The topic took several detours, and finally got to the core seemingly inadvertently:
“Brother Wen, you and your brother… have such a good relationship. It’s rare to see brothers like you who keep in touch every day and even go out of their way to deliver meals.”
Her tone was filled with envy and a hint of cautious probing.
Xu Wenzheng lowered his head and sent a message to Lu Qingrang saying that he was off work. When he heard this, he didn’t even raise his head. He spoke very naturally, even with a little pride in his tone:
“Of course! We are the best brothers in the world!”
His answer was so straightforward, without any hesitation or concealment.
This reaction was completely beyond Li Yue’s expectations. All the tests she had carefully prepared were like a punch on cotton, causing her to choke instantly, and all subsequent questions were stuck in her throat.
She opened her mouth and looked at Xu Wen’s expression that was not fake at all, even a little proud, and was completely speechless.
……brother?
Before she could think of what to ask, the two of them had already reached the station.
In the dusk, a tall figure leaned against the stop sign. It was Lu Qingrang.
Xu Wen’s eyes lit up and he waved to Li Yue: “My brother is here to pick me up. Let’s go first, Xiaoyue! See you tomorrow!”
After saying that, he quickly ran towards the figure.
Li Yue stood there, watching Xu Wen run to Lu Qingrang’s side, watching Lu Qingrang take the bag he was carrying very naturally, and watching Xu Wen raise his head and say something to him with a smile, while Lu Qingrang tilted his head slightly to listen, his eyebrows looking particularly soft in the dusk.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, picking up a few dead leaves and disrupting Li Yue’s thoughts.
She began to have serious doubts that the brother Xu Wen mentioned was not the same thing as what she understood.
These two people…what’s going on?!
Did she really think too much, or…?
