Married to the Male Lead's Brother Chapter 161

Chapter 161 – “Mom, I have an idea. Just work with me on it.” (1)

Returning to her current time, Ning Zhi sighed and felt a bit of aching in her chest. She could sense the longing from the young Lu Jue in no uncertain terms this time.

Ning Zhi turned and, suddenly, the coat that little Lu Jue was carrying for her appeared on her bed.

She had forgotten all about it when Lu Jue was carrying it for her. She hadn't expected it to return with her.

Ning Zhi was curious, so she summoned Overlord.

“I had forgotten to bring my coat back, but it returned on its own.”

Overlord told her: [Host, even if you purposefully bring things with you over there and leave them behind, the items will return with you when you return.]

“What if I want to bring something back with me?”

Overlord: [That will not be possible. The second that you disappear, the item will remain behind.]

Truth was, Ning Zhi had already had an idea. Just like the rose that Lu Jue had put on her the previous time. She did not have the flower with her when she returned.

Suddenly, Overlord received a new assignment, and it was surprised.

Overload was a bit hesitant, and it stammered: [Host, you will need to work hard on earning little suns.]

Baffled, Ning Zhi asked, “And why is that?”

Overlord's milky voice stammered. It was a bit nervous and worried that it would be yelled at. [The program just updated, and we will need 200 little suns for your next trip.]

Ning Zhi, “……”

Gasping, she said, “I have serious suspicion that you are price gouging me.”

Ning Zhi questioned it. “Didn't you say before that this last one was an additional point in time and that it will only cost me 100 little suns for my next trip before?”

Overlord was aggrieved: [Host, I have no idea why yet another new point in time had popped up. This is deviating from Lu Jue's growth timeline.]

Ning Zhi, “If you had no idea what is going on, for sure I wouldn't have any idea!”

She hrumped. “I am seriously starting to think that you had pocketed a lot of the extra little suns.”

Every time she traded in little suns, she could hear the excitement in Overlord's milky voice and a hint that it was gulping, like it was starving.

Overlord quickly explained itself: [Host, I am not lying to you. Perhaps when Host returned, you had altered something else unexpectedly. Hence, the two new points in the timeline.]

Ning Zhi, “Hadn't I always been altering things?”

Overlord's voice was very cautious: [I don't mean about saving Lu Jue. Perhaps Host had triggered something else.]

Ning Zhi pondered over it. She hadn't noticed any issue.

The next day, when the sun was up, the warm rays of light came through the floor-to-ceiling window into the room and filled it with warm light.

Ning Zhi had just opened up her eyes when she saw that Lu Jue was already awake.

He was lying on his side and looking at her quietly.

“Morning.” Ning Zhi rubbed her eyes. She didn't sleep well the night before. She could hear Lu Jue calling her Odd Big Sister in her dreams all night long.

Seeing that Ning Zhi had woken up, Lu Jue scooped closer to her voluntarily. His deep voice a bit hoarse, “Morning.”

Young Lu Jue's eyes and brows were innocent when he was young and now, they were profound. They were, however, still clean looking.

If she must say that something else had changed, that would be that Lu Jue had become taller and better-built. Somewhere between a young man and a mature man.

Especially when he sat up like he did right now and the collar to his colorful sleepwear was wide open. She could see a hint of the sturdy lines at the front of his chest. Ning Zhi didn't even need to see them to imagine his evenly distributed chest muscles. A thin layer of them that was full of strength and explosiveness.

It made one want to rip open his big floral print sleepwear and cop a feel of them.

Ning Zhi's face blushed and she quickly stopped her dirty thought.
