Chapter 77 - Third Brother, About-face

You can bully people, but don't go too far!

"Oh?"

Both Dad and Big Brother sized up No. 3 doubtfully, but still obediently put their legs down.

Hmph! The one acting high and mighty now was Third Brother!

He took the big bowl from his sister and sat down eagerly. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of congee before saying with a smile, "Thank you, Little Sister! If your cooking skills weren't good, it would be useless no matter how good the fish I bought.

"Perhaps this is what people mean when they say that things serendipitously fall into place!"

A certain third brother beamed and had a contented expression on his face, as if this feast was all his and his little sister's doing. He even secretly glanced at his father and big brother beside him. He was clearly showing off, right?

"Tsk!" You sure know how to flatter yourself.

Father Lu and Big Brother Lu didn't think it was a big deal, and even scoffed disdainfully.

Seeing No. 3 reach out to the braised fish with his chopsticks, a certain big brother and father attacked from the left and right. They each took half and placed it in their bowls before burying their heads in their food.

Those movements were smooth and flawless!

They had utterly innocent expressions on their faces, as if it was just a coincidence and they hadn't had any intention of stealing his food.

And even if they did… Sorry, but isn't it because you're too lousy?

No. 3, whose chopsticks met empty air: "…" Annoying!

He had no choice but to switch dishes, but tragedy ensued once again!

Switching to the soup pot, Third Brother thought to himself, You can't take the ladle away, right? However —

A certain big brother was one step quicker, and snatched the ladle away. Meanwhile, a certain father directly picked up the pot of soup with both hands, not giving Third Brother any chance at all. He even smiled and asked with an earnest expression, "Daughter, I'm really craving food. Your cooking is too good. You don't mind me doing this, right?"

Father Lu poured the soup into his bowl with a proud chuckle; he was way too pleased with himself!

Lu An really couldn't hold back her smile. There were only three of them, and it was already this lively. Who knew how much fun it would be when there were three more in the future!

Ahhhh!

A certain little sister could no longer contain the excitement in her heart. She picked up a scoop and ladled some soup for Third Brother, and also warned the other two, "Enough, you already ate once yesterday. Let Third Brother eat more today!"

Seriously, if this went on, Third Brother would become depressed, and wouldn't be as fun to play with in the future.

Unbeknownst to his little sister, a certain third brother was so touched that he wanted to cry. He pursed his lips and started eating. He snuck a glance at his little sister, and while nothing showed on his face, he silently noted this down.

From now on, his only relative was this little sister. Whatever Dad or Big Brother could step aside, hmph!

Little did he know that a certain big brother and a certain father secretly exchanged a look. They had wicked and smug looks on their faces which clearly said: It worked!

Father Lu: It was me!

Big Brother Lu: It was clearly me!

…

On the other side, a young man was still keenly looking through his binoculars.

When he saw his father and big brother drive back, Lu Xingran couldn't help but become nervous, especially after the door opened, and he saw that his third brother was already running over. Little No. 5 was scared to death. He was worried that his third brother would be instantly killed!

However, when he thought about his third brother's embarrassing kungfu, he realized that it was only when he was treating patients that his third brother would be serious for a while. Every other time, he was like a madman with fluctuating emotions and crazy ideas. Who knew, maybe he would be able to deal with Big Brother and Dad?

Lu Xingran wouldn't admit that he was a coward, and didn't dare go back to help!

He was just a coward with his brothers; he wasn't like this in front of anyone else!

Third Brother, I'm sorry. You have to work hard and chase the white lotus away!

Little No. 5 silently cheered on his third brother.

Suddenly, his third brother called. Little No. 5 hurriedly answered the call. "Hello, Third Brother?"
