Chapter Eighty-Nine The Future

  After all, Li Luyu, who had eaten the Longevity Fruit, was just an ordinary person who wanted to live a good life and have a stable day. Too many bitter days had already passed his youthful heart that yearned for and possessed grand ideals.

  Just like the manga "Death Note" that Lǐ Lùyóu had read, the protagonist Yagami Light possessed great power, but he didn't have a mindset to match his power. In the end, he was ended by the Shinigami in the same way he took others' lives.

  Li Luyu's state of mind is even more ordinary and simple. Some people eat the Longevity Fruit, or become sports champions, or become underworld bosses, or become national heroes, or achieve greater success... This world provides opportunities and achievements for the strong that are unparalleled.

  Li Luyu was still in school, thinking about what kind of breakfast to prepare for Annan Xiu, worrying about the high housing prices in Zhonghai. He felt happy that he didn't have to hate life being too short and not having enough time to uncover the world's secrets. His ideal was still to become a certified public accountant first, then buy a house later.

  So at this time he was still worried about his sister's life, and the concerns that normal people had been worrying about for a long time were already deeply rooted and would not change greatly just because of something sudden.

  Li Luyu has already made up his mind, after Li Zi wakes up, he will have a good talk with her. If she really has no interest in playing the piano at all, then forget it. If she is just worried that she can't afford to support herself, then Li Luyu will insist on letting her attend Zhonghai Music Academy and major in piano. He can still afford the tuition for the first year.

  Moreover, with her talent, as long as she can get through the initial hardships, when she can start performing commercially, things will turn for the better.

  At that time, my sister must have been the center of attention, in a magnificent concert hall, in front of a beautiful piano, wearing a small dress, the girl shocked the world with her fingers.

  At that time, I was already a working person, quietly watching her brilliance in the corner.

  At that time, my sister will be like an idol star, with countless fans chasing after her, and a brokerage firm packaging her.

  At that time, she was preparing dinner in her small house, could she still push open the door on time?

  At that time, one of her performances might have been worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. The prize money for international awards was in the millions, and life became very easy and enjoyable.

  At that time, I should also be able to afford a house in the Mediterranean. I hope that after flying all over the world, she will still remember her brother here.

  Li Luyu's eyes were a little sour, and he also wanted to smile. He thought to himself, "Why am I so sentimental?" After all, he had placed too much importance on his sister. If one day he was no longer important to her, he would be too disappointed.

  As long as she can achieve something, her own loss is nothing.

  Moreover, it's possible that Lizi may not be interested at all. Li Luoye's selfish thought is that she hopes she won't be interested, but the difference between familial love and romantic love lies in the fact that familial love can often suppress selfish thoughts.

  If you just want to selfishly monopolize your sister, what kind of brother are you?

  Li Rou bowed his head and kissed Li Banzhuang's cheek, the delicate and tender skin exuding a faint fragrance, like the morning dew on the flower buds.

  It feels just like when I was a kid, only back then it had a stronger milky flavor, like Annanxiu's, now it smells more like flowers.

  Perhaps he had grown to like An Nanxiu more and more because the fragrance on her body was very similar to that of Li Zi, Li Luyu suddenly realized, not particularly surprised by this reason, because he had already felt that his current thoughts of taking care of An Nanxiu were almost the same as those for his sister.

  Li Luoyu carefully walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and no longer had the mood to watch "One Hundred Years of Solitude" again, pulled up the quilt and lay down on the sofa.

  After a while, Li Luyu felt that there was an extra person beside him. Warm and hot lips fell on his cheek, a familiar breath that couldn't be more familiar.

  "Been awake for a while?" Li Luyu said with his eyes closed, and Li Zi was being mischievous again, pretending to be asleep.

  "I've come to return your goodnight kiss." Li Banzhen didn't answer his question, lifted the quilt and crawled in.

  Li Luoyu didn't even have time to react, and could only sigh. A girl who had slipped into the quilt was actually so agile and quick, with not a single extra movement, leaving no chance for anyone to stop her.

  Li Banxian pulled Li Luyu's arm and put it under her head, of course, she had to hum a beautiful tune, because her brother's arm was always the best pillow in the world.

  Two people were both wearing pajamas, not like the summer and autumn season when they would have skin-to-skin contact, feeling exceptionally warm.

  "Just now when you held me down, I woke up. I waited for a long time, thinking you would take advantage of the situation, but in the end, you just kissed my cheek and left." Li Luyou said discontentedly.

  Li Rouyou was somewhat annoyed and pushed Li Banzhuang, telling her to get off the sofa.

  Li Banxuan wasn't going to let him have his way that easily, so she flipped over and tightly hugged Li Luyu, hanging from his chest like a koala.

  "I'm your brother, what's always on your mind?" Li Luoyu couldn't help but feel helpless towards her, after all, she was his own sister. He didn't want to scold her and also didn't want to say harsh words to her.

  Li Bancheng smiled and stopped lying on him, lying flat to look at the ceiling. "It's like when we were in the old house during the summer, lying in the courtyard looking at the stars. At that time, you would teach me all sorts of constellations. I thought brother was so knowledgeable."

  "You'll regret it later, most of what I taught you was made up by myself." Li Luoyou smiled. At that time, summer often had power outages, and electricity bills were also a significant expense. Lying in the yard to watch the stars was actually the most comfortable and economical way to pass the time.

  "No, it's just that I'm very nostalgic and feel a bit strange. Whether it was back then or now, as long as I can rest my head on your arm and gaze at the stars, there shouldn't be any problem. But why is it that once we cover ourselves with a quilt, people will mock and scorn us? Is this because humans have a habit of hiding their own ugliness or private matters, which then leads to associative thinking? When such associations become universally similar, do people directly equate their own thoughts with reality?"

  "What are you thinking about? Men and women have different roles, even if they're siblings, it's a natural moral code that must be followed. Do you want to challenge it?" Li Luoyu was exasperated. A little girl growing up and entering puberty can be a bit rebellious, but what she said earlier couldn't be allowed to ferment in her mind, or she might think she's right and become disillusioned with the world.

  "Hmph... I just think, if it weren't for these problems, I would want to sleep in brother's arms until brother has a girlfriend. Li Banxuan was indignant about this, she found it especially comfortable sleeping in her brother's arms, but he insisted it wasn't allowed, the earliest lesson he taught her being: everyone is like this, when you grow up you can't sleep together."

  "Go back to your own bed now." Li Luyu wanted to push her again.

  "No, let's talk, I felt like you had something to say to me earlier, and you sat there for a while before leaving." Li Banzhen didn't move, she wasn't sleeping soundly in the first place, and when her brother hugged her, she woke up. She could feel him stroking her hair, kissing her, and sitting beside her, all with some worry on his mind. If she couldn't even sense this, then she wouldn't be a good little sister that her brother cared about most.

  "Hmm." Li Luyu thought for a moment and decided to tell her now, no need to wait until tomorrow.

  "Brother wants to send me to study music?" Li Banzhen naturally understood that her brother must have had this in mind.

  "I'll ask you first, what do you want to do in the future?" Li Luyou didn't respond. Since it was a serious conversation, of course, they had to pay attention to conversational skills and methods. What Sun Yangqing and others said wasn't wrong - Li Luyou was more suitable as class monitor than An Zhishui. Maybe Li Luyou wasn't good at doing sycophantic things, but as the leader of a small class like this, it shouldn't be a problem.

  "I don't know, let's just go to college first." Li Banzhuang had been following her brother around since she was a child, and everything was arranged by him. She wasn't without her own opinions, but she wanted to listen to her brother and be a good little sister.

  "Universities also need to choose majors, which major are you more interested in? You said what kind of work you want to do in the future, I know what major you should choose." Li Luyou thought for a moment and added: "You're a girl, you can take interest as the main selection criteria, doing things you like."

  "If it were up to me, I'd want to be a nursery teacher." Li Banzhen said with some embarrassment.

  "How...how did you come up with this idea?" Li Luyou thought carefully, and realized that being a nanny was actually a very promising career. Nowadays, young people often don't live with their elderly family members, let alone take care of them. Moreover, modern healthcare and childcare concepts have developed significantly, and professional nannies charge high fees, catering specifically to the high-income class.

  "Because brother will get married later, maybe your wife won't like me living in your house anymore and will drive me away. If I were a nanny, when brother has children, I can come to brother's house again." Li Banxiu said softly with her head down, she was afraid of what would happen after reading many stories about the relationship between sisters-in-law, which rarely ended well. Besides, after brother gets married and establishes a new family, it wouldn't be suitable for me to still live in his house, no matter how you look at it.

  For ordinary people, this is not a big problem, because the little sister will eventually get married and the sister-in-law can tolerate it. However, Li Banzhuang's little sister has no intention of getting married and only wants to be with her brother for life, which no sister-in-law can bear.

  Li Rouyu hugged Li Banzhu, resting her chin on the top of his head, gently patting his back, "It won't happen, no one can drive Li Zi away from Brother."

  Li Banxuan softly murmured "en", buried her head in her brother's chest and gently rubbed against him.

  Thank you for your support, thank you for the generosity of Tan Xiang Shu Fang classmates, after becoming the first champion of Gong Zhu and then becoming the first scholar of Gong Zhu again, a total of 200,000 yuan was raised.

  Thank you for your concern about Xiaohua's full attendance award. Last month, Xiaohua's update was just around 300,000 words, and this month is roughly the same. It should be possible to get the 1000 yuan special full attendance award, but due to the restriction of updating before 12 o'clock every day, writing is not an activity that Xiaohua can do whenever she wants or write as much as she wants.

  If I had to chase after perfect attendance, I might end up rushing recklessly and uploading something I'm not satisfied with without even deleting it, which would be a waste. After all, Zongheng has given me a relaxed creative environment, so I should take more responsibility for my writing and plot.

  There is still one more update today, but it's a bit late, so everyone can check again tomorrow morning.
