What's Wrong with Getting a New Wife? [Rebirth] [MTL]

Chapter 18

　　Gu Ji found it funny to see the two of them getting along, but he still pulled Lu Chi to his side and said to him, "Don't bully him."

"How could I bully him?" Cheng Zhuo sighed and said, "Your brother is so cold."

　　"He's either cold or doesn't talk much." Gu Ji explained, "He's like this to everyone."

　　The thermos bucket that Lu Chi brought was filled with corn and pork ribs soup, which was cooked by his mother. The portion was very large, and after ordering a few dishes from the cafeteria, it was enough for them to eat.

　　When they were almost done with the meal, Cheng Zhuo and Xu Jingyin thought of not disturbing Gu Ji and his brother's conversation, so they found an excuse to leave after finishing their meal.

　　"Brother." Without anyone else, Lu Chi clenched his fists and whispered, "During the Chinese New Year..."

　　Gu Ji knew what he was going to say and picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks. "Let's not talk about the past."

　　This was not what Lu Chi had expected. He was stunned for a moment, but still insisted: "I...I can apologize to him."

　　Lu Chi regretted his impulsive behavior. If it weren't for him, his brother wouldn't have been unwilling to go home since the Chinese New Year.

　　"Who should I apologize to?" Gu Ji said calmly, "No need, we've already broken up."

　　Lu Chi opened his eyes wide, seeming a little unbelievable and a little nervous, "...Is it because of me?"

　　Gu Ji paused and said with a smile: "Of course not, we broke up two days ago, what does it have to do with you?"

　　Lu Chi pursed his lips and smiled, unable to hide his happiness. No wonder his brother didn't bother him about the previous incident. Lu Chi was very upset after that incident. Every time he mustered up the courage to send a message to Gu Ji, he would not get a reply. After a long time, he did not dare to disturb his brother.

　　"Let's really talk about the New Year." Gu Chi recalled that he seemed to have punched Lu Chi twice because of Lin Qingran, and he didn't hold back.

　　"I should apologize to you. Were you... okay?"

　　Lu Chi immediately shook his head, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."

　　Gu Ji touched his head and asked, "...Why did you want to hit him with a chair at that time?"

　　In his previous life, he only cared about the wronged Lin Qingran and completely ignored this younger brother. Although Lu Chi's personality seemed a little strange to outsiders, he was not mentally ill, so how could he do something like hitting someone casually?

　　Lu Chi didn't say anything, as if he didn't want to say anything. After a while, he whispered, "I heard him on the phone, talking to someone else in a very ambiguous way."

　　"Then why didn't you tell me?" Gu Ji almost guessed that this was the reason that made Lu Chi so fierce at that time, like a puppy that was about to bite someone.

　　"I dare not say it, for fear that you would be angry."

　　Lu Chi didn't think about anything after hearing the content of the call. He just wanted to kick the other party out of his house. After calming down, he was not sure if he had heard it wrong. What if the other party was just talking to an ordinary friend?

　　It's not Lu Chi's fault that he thinks too much about this. Indeed, if it were in his previous life, he would not believe it even if Lu Chi told him.
