Chapter 360: Opening the Scar
After breakfast, Lu Shixu naturally stayed.

The rest of the family didn't leave either.

Qingqing and Fu Chao, who originally had jobs, even canceled their original schedules and stayed at home.

In the living room, Lu Shixu sat in the middle of the sofa, with Fu Yunfeng and Fu Chao on his left and right.

Qingqing sat on the other side, drinking tea leisurely, and discussing with Nanzhi whether to go shopping tomorrow.

Nan Yi sat on his own little stool and watched the fun—

Fu Yunfeng has been cultivating himself for many years and is always smiling:

"Xiao Lu, you are 29 this year, right? You must have had many girlfriends in the past?"

As expected of Fu Yunfeng, he dropped a bombshell right at the start.

Plus, Fu Chao was chasing him relentlessly:

"Tsk, we've never heard of it before. It seems that Xiao Lu is hiding it very well!"

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably panic on the spot.

But Lu Shixu is not an ordinary person.

He had seen so many big scenes, but he was still calm at the moment:
"No, I had never been in a relationship before Zhizhi."

Fu Yunfeng and Fu Chao didn't quite believe it.

Lu Shixu actually recounted his life in detail at a leisurely pace.

In summary, I am very busy! Very busy! I don’t have time for love!

"...and when it comes to relationships, I prefer to be single than to be with the wrong person. Even before I met Zhizhi, I was a staunch celibate."

Fu Chao was half-believing and half-doubting, and stabbed out a sharp knife:

"Because you don't believe in love?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Shixu nodded:

"Well, it's because of my mother. President Qing and Mr. Fu are my elders, and they should have heard of my parents' story in the past. With this tragic precedent, I never thought about developing an intimate relationship with anyone. But Zhizhi is the unexpected joy in my life, the light that saves me, and gives me new hope in my life that was despised by my mother."

Not many people know the specific experience of Lu Shixu's parents.

Even if they knew, they would at most know that Lu Shixu's father Lu Wenzhou died in an experimental accident, and Lu Shixu's mother Pei Yun loved her husband so much that she could not accept the reality and chose to commit suicide to follow him.

Only very few people know that before Pei Yun committed suicide, he actually planned to take Lu Shixu with him.

Lu Shixu was very young at the time, but he was forced to face the blade stabbed by his biological mother...

It is certainly impossible to pretend that nothing happened.

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng are the few people who know the whole story of the Lu family incident.

Seeing that Lu Shixu, who had always been arrogant and looked down on everyone, was willing to lower his head for Nanzhi, tear open the painful scars of his childhood in front of everyone, and reveal them bloody...

They actually felt a little distressed.

After a moment of silence, Qing Qing slowly uttered:
"Shixu, it's not your fault. Your mother is a bit paranoid."

It's more than just paranoia, it's simply madness!

Qingqing and Pei Yun are of similar age and family background, so they can be considered childhood friends, but they are not particularly close.

But Pei Yun's obsession with Lu Wenzhou is well-known in the circle.

Pei Yun even took a knife to threaten another girl to stay away from Lu Wenzhou because that girl liked Lu Wenzhou and gave him gifts!
He was a man who was paranoid to the core and regarded Lu Wenzhou as everything in his life.

Son? To her, the term "Lu Wenzhou's addition" might be more appropriate.

Pei Yun is indifferent and doesn't care about anything except her husband.

Lu Wenzhou is not much better than her, but he cares about his scientific research career.

With such a pair of crazy and critical parents, how could Lu Shixu's life be safe and smooth?

That's why Qingqing said to Lu Shixu with certainty, "It's not your fault."

Lu Shixu nodded softly.

As for whether he believes it or not, only he himself knows.

Lu Shixu lowered his head:
"Sorry, I didn't want to bring up such a heavy topic. I just hope you can know my true feelings for Zhizhi." When he said the second half of the sentence, he raised his head silently, and his eyes, as vast and deep as the deep sea, stared at Nanzhi. The strong emotions flooded over and entangled her little by little.

Nanzhi turned her face away uncomfortably, but wasn't she moved in her heart?
The atmosphere in the living room was a little stagnant.

Even Fu Chao, who was always sarcastic towards Lu Shixu, was speechless.

Deep down in my heart, there is still a tiny bit of guilt.

Fu Chao awkwardly pushed the teacup towards Lu Shixu:

"Would you like to drink something? My dad's favorite is Baihao Yinzhen."

"……Thanks."

Among all the people present, Lu Shixu was the only one who remained calm and composed.

The emotions of others, including Nan Yi, were affected to varying degrees.

After that, everyone changed the topic and talked about something more relaxing and pleasant, such as where to go on vacation in the summer.

No one bothered to poke fun at Lu Shixu's sorrow anymore, and everyone tried to protect his mood.

Lu Shixu, who was observing secretly, felt his heart being suddenly grasped by an invisible big hand.

I feel a little uncomfortable, but also a little indescribably touched.

After a while, Nanzhi accompanied Nanyi back to the second-floor room to go to the bathroom.

While he and his mother were alone, Nan Yi couldn't help but ask:
"Is it true that there are mothers who hate their own children? Is that his biological mother? Could it be that, like us, his biological mother was secretly replaced?"

Now Nan Yi never doubts that his mother is the best mother in the world and the mother who loves him the most.

So, Nan, who used to understand the meaning of this sentence, now doesn’t quite understand it.

Nanzhi thought for a moment and tried to speak in a gentle tone:

"Well, although this kind of thing is rare, it does exist."

Nan Yi sighed slightly:

"He's so pathetic."

Nanzhi is funny:

"Who is 'he' talking about?"

Now Nan Yi didn't want to answer anymore, and hid her little face in Nanzhi's arms with a smile.

Nanzhi cried out:

"You little rascal, there's water on your hands!"

Nan Yi acted coquettishly with her and insisted that his mother help him wipe it.

Nanzhi smiled but did not refuse. She helped Nanyi wipe the water stains on his hands bit by bit.

She helped him tidy up his hair and clothes, and then prepared to take him downstairs.

As soon as they walked out of the room, Nanzhi and Nanyi ran into Lu Shixu who was looking for them.

Nanzhi subconsciously looked behind Lu Shixu.

Lu Shixu's voice sounded with a smile:
"Your brother didn't come."

“…How strange.”

It seems that Fu Chao really sympathizes with Lu Shixu and has softened his heart towards him.

What about Southern Italy?

Nanzhi lowered her head to look at Nanyi, and saw that he was no longer dodging, but was looking at the landing sequence with wide eyes.

Lu Shixu's mind moved, and he half-knelt down in front of Nan Yi.

He held out his hand solemnly:
"Would you like to get to know each other again? I'm Lu Shixu, your...father."

After a while, Nan Yi stretched out his hand and shook it slowly:

"I am Yi Yi."
