Lu Tianxi was sitting on the edge of the sofa, talking to Lu Shirong with a smile in his eyes.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, she looked to follow the sound.
The urn in Chu Jincheng's arms fell clearly into her eyes first. Lu Tianxi frowned and asked, "Didn't you find Aqin's boyfriend?"
"They're already together."
Chu Jincheng looked sad, staring at the urn in his hand, with a bitter curve on his lips.
After being blocked by zombies and attacked by alien beasts, he and his bodyguard finally arrived at the rental house of Aqin's boyfriend, only to see the scene where the boyfriend died tragically in the rental house.
Aqin's boyfriend's body was half eaten. There was blood everywhere on the floor and walls of the house, and the smell of rotting corpses was overwhelming.
At that moment, Chu Jincheng felt a mixture of sadness and relief.
Although it is a bit shameful, it cannot be denied that burying the two dead people together is the best ending.
Lu Tianxi stared at the urn in Chu Jincheng's arms and quickly understood what it meant.
She said dryly: "My condolences."
She has experienced the pain of the death of a loved one, and she can empathize with it, but she cannot be comforted by sincere care.
After the end of the world, hundreds of millions of human beings will die, but those who are lucky enough to survive will still live a difficult and fearful existence every day.
Even the Lu family now is in danger.
They were crossing the river by feeling the stones in the early days of the apocalypse, and the danger was hidden under the river. They were the forces lurking in the dark to spy on the Lu family.
Nanhuai City is neither big nor small. Its total area and population are close to those of Yancheng, the capital of Blue Star.
Who can guarantee that among the millions of survivors, there is no one who wants to gain a foothold in troubled times like the Lu family.
Lu Tianxi's heart had long since turned cold, and she wanted to carve out a path to heaven for her family that would always protect the lives of the Lu family.
She asked Yang Xu to take the bodyguards who had worked hard all day, go down and have a nice meal, and then have a good sleep.
Chu Jincheng was no longer sad. It was good to have someone to accompany Aqin after his death.
He nodded slightly to Lu Tianxi to thank him, and walked up to Lu Shirong: "Mr. Lu."
His eyes, as silent and dim as dead water, did not see the uneasiness and fear of the superior.
This is not the first time the two have met.
They had met before when the orphanage in the town where Chu Jincheng was located was merged into a large welfare home owned by the Lu family.
It was precisely because of that first meeting that he received funding from the Lu Education Fund, so he no longer had to go to school while working every day, which would not only affect his studies but also lead to excessive physical exertion.
Lu Shirong nodded slightly to him and asked with the gentle attitude of an older man: "What are the plans next?"
Chu Jincheng's handsome face showed a little tangle, as if he was hesitating how to speak.
Soon, he said directly: "I want to do things for the Lu family."
It was after Chu Jincheng separated from Lu Tianxi that she learned from the bodyguard that she was a member of the Lu family and the Lu family's plan to build a secure base in the north of the city.
The first time he met Lu Shirong, the man stood in front of him and asked: Do you want to find your family?
Chu Jincheng's answer at that time was no.
He has been in the orphanage as long as he can remember. Since he is an abandoned child, why bother to humiliate himself.
He also didn't want to hear the excuses given by those who had no choice but to abandon the child.
The moment his parents decided to abandon him, they had completely severed their relationship.
Seeing the man in front of him who had shown a hint of warmth and kindness to him made Chu Jincheng feel at ease.
He thought that it would be nice to do something for the Lu family, even as a way of repaying the Lu family for their support for him.
Lu Shirong stared at Chu Jincheng's handsome face, with a complex expression as if he was recalling something through him.
After a long time, he said in an indifferent voice: "Work with me in the future. When you take over Yang Xu's position, familiarize yourself with the process first."
Chu Jincheng's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't hide the surprised expression on his face.
Before the end of the world, the people who worked as Director Lu’s secretaries in the company were all the other party’s cronies.
Even in the last days, according to the Lu family's current ambitions, a position like secretary is the core of the family.
Chu Jincheng was not overjoyed at being trusted, but felt endless panic and uneasiness in his heart.
His face remained calm, and his attitude was neither arrogant nor humble as he said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Tianxi listened to the conversation between the two and felt her uncle's trust and closeness to Chu Jincheng.
She decided to go back and ask her uncle if there was anything about this person besides his healing powers that made him look at him differently.
Seeing that they had finished their conversation, Lu Tianxi put his hands behind his back and took out a dagger from the space.
She cut the back of her hand with a dagger, and bright red blood immediately spread out.
"Chu Jincheng, help me heal my wounds."
Lu Tianxi stretched out his injured hand and said to Chu Jincheng with a smile.
"Xiao Xi!"
The dazzling red color on the back of her hand fell into Lu Shirong's colorless black eyes, and his voice mixed with anger rose in pitch.
Lu Tianxi's body trembled, and she looked at him with an innocent expression on her face.
Lu Shirong's eyes were so angry that his eyes turned black. His usually gentle and calm face was extremely solemn, and a cold and displeased aura came out of his body.
He held Lu Tianxi's injured hand, and the dazzling blood made him feel cold and heartbroken: "You think everyone in the room is dead, why are you kidding about your own body!"
This restrained momentum mixed with anger is extremely offensive.
The warm breath in the air was replaced by a bone-chilling chill, making everyone in the room tremble.
When Chu Jincheng saw Lu Shirong, who had always been humble and steady, his face was full of suppressed anger and irritability, and the distress between his brows was also evident.
He put the urn in his arms on the table, walked quickly to Lu Tianxi, and said to Lu Shirong, who was wiping the blood with a handkerchief, "Mr. Lu, let me do it."
Cold eyes flashing with dangerous light glanced at him, making him feel uncomfortable all over. Lu Shirong put his injured hand in front of him.
Under the cold gaze of the other party, Chu Jincheng touched the bleeding hand with his hand.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the needle-like gaze around him had the illusion of burning up the hand he was touching Lu Tianxi.
He swallowed nervously and used his thoughts to control his powers.
Lu Tianxi didn't care about the injury on his hand and kept observing the furious Lu Shirong.
It wasn't until the injury on her hand healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a bright red color on the back of her fair hand, that the expression on Lu Shirong's face became better.
After Chu Jincheng saw that his injuries disappeared, he let go of his hand with a strong desire to survive.
Lu Shirong took the opportunity to gently hold Lu Tianxi's hand, and wiped the red on the back of his hand with a blood-stained handkerchief.
Everything is back to normal.
It seemed that Lu Tianxi had not been injured.
Lu Shirong had a stern face, his eyebrows were twisted, and his lips were pressed into a tight line.
He was clearly still angry, but he was trying his best to suppress it.
Lu Tianxi was both obedient and timid, so she took the initiative to admit her mistake: "Uncle, I was wrong."
She said I was wrong, and her indifferent and proud facial expression clearly meant that she would dare to do it next time.
