Married to the Male Lead's Brother Chapter 17

Chapter 17 – What Lin Tiantian didn't notice was that, shortly after she had hung up the phone, Ning Zhi took back another 2% of her halo from her. (1)

As little Lu Jue was falling down the stairs, Ning Zhi threw herself in his direction.

The little soft body fell into her arms.

The second that it landed on the ground, she had him tightly wrapped in her arms and padded his body with hers.

Any normal child would have been so scared that they would be bawling when something like this happened to them, or that they would rush to an adult for comfort.

Little Lu Jue, on the other hand, blinked his eyes with a dazed look and did not look like he was about to cry at all.

“Did you get hurt? Little Juejue?” Ning Zhi didn't have time to pay attention the little boy who had run off. She quickly checked on Lu Jue. She had caught him when he was falling. He shouldn't have broken any of his ribs this time.

Little Lu Jue pointed at Ning Zhi's foot with his small little finger all of a sudden as he said, “Red, red.”

Ning Zhi looked down and saw that she had sprained her ankle a little when she rushed over to save him. She had banged her knee on the stairs and it was red now.

Normally, she would be tearing up from the pain when a fragile spot like her knees were hurt. But now, she didn't feel a thing. Much like she would not feel hunger in this world.

“I hurt my foot while saving you. It hurts.” Ning Zhi lied to little Lu Jue shamelessly. “From now on, you can't ignore me when I talk to you, okay?”

Little Lu Jue quickly gave her a look with his big, black eyes and, after a long while, finally nodded.

Ning Zhi couldn't help but pinched his little cheek again. Little Lu Jue was so easy to fool.

Over on the other side, the teacher found little Lu Jue sitting on the ground, dazed, when she came looking for him. “Lu Jue, why are you sitting on the ground?”

Little Lu Jue turned his head away and rested it on Ning Zhi, completely ignoring the teacher.

Little Lu Jue still had the baby smell and he was still chubby and soft. It was very comfortable holding him.

Ning Zhi leaned into his ears and wooed him in tender voice. “Big sister's foot hurt and needs to rest up. Little Juejue needs to listen to his teacher and go with her.”

The big, black eyes blinked repeatedly and little Lu Jue lowered his head to look at Ning Zhi's knee. He said in his milky voice, “Blow, me.”

Let me blow on it.

Ning Zhi couldn't help but smiled. She teased him purposefully. “Does little Juejue want big sister to blow on him?”

Having said that, she lowered her head and gently blew a puff of air next to Lu Jue's ear.

The puff of air went inside his ear and the tingling feeling made little Lu Jue cock his little head. He was a little anxious, “Blow, me.”

Ning Zhi must say, it was definitely much easier to communicate with little Lu Jue than adult Lu Jue, who would at most respond to every 10 times that one said to him.

“Thank you, little Juejue but Big Sister doesn't need blowing.” Little Lu Jue was too cute. Ning Zhi only wished she could give him a peck on his cheek.

little Lu Jue looked up.

The strange big sister slowly became transparent in front of his eyes and then disappeared.

Little Lu Jue was at loss. “Big. Sister?”

The teacher wasn't surprised by little Lu Jue talking to himself. He was, after all, a child that suffered from autism. “C'mon, Lu Jue. Get up and teacher will take you back to the classroom.”

When she opened up her eyes again, Ning Zhi found herself laying in bed with Lu Jue next to her. The adult Lu Jue.

She was back?

Ning Zhi quickly touched her own face. Her skin no longer had that delicate and smooth touch and her hands were not as alabaster as they used to be. Her hair still had split ends.

She touched her own chest. They were soft but obviously smaller than they were earlier.

Ning Zhi was slightly disappointed. She had hoped that she could keep her looks when she returned to reality.

She reached out to Overlord quickly. “It didn't seem like I had done anything. Why am I back already? Is he cured from his autism yet?”

Overlord: [Have you forgotten already, Host? You've saved Lu Jue when he was falling down the stairs. As for his autism, of course it isn't cured yet.]
