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

Chapter 38

The soundproofing in the old house was not very good. Through the door, Lu Chi's voice sounded a little vague, but he could vaguely hear what he was saying.

　　Lu Chi came back by taxi, and hurriedly but excitedly ran home. The first thing he said after entering the door was to ask with a stern face: "Where's my brother?"

　　You Lanshu was obviously a little embarrassed: "Xiao Chi, why are you back?"

　　"Didn't you say that brother was back?" Lu Chi took out his mobile phone and saw that the chat box showed "the other party withdrew a message."

　　"......?" Lu hesitated, "What's going on?"

　　It was just after class when Lu Chi received the message. He didn't miss it. After seeing it, he asked his deskmate to ask for leave for him and left the school without hesitation.

　　After that, I was looking forward to it all the way, watching the time every minute and every second, and I didn't even notice when the message was withdrawn.

　　Lu Chi paused for a few seconds, and said with a disappointed tone, "You lied to me?"

　　You Lanshu didn't know how to explain for a moment. Just when she was about to say something, the south door was pushed open with a slight sound.

　　"The road is slow." Gu Ji shouted.

　　Gu Ji's voice is recognizable, with a slightly low and clear sound quality, which is pleasant to the ear.

　　Lu Chi was stunned: "...Brother."

　　You Lanshu explained: "Xiao Chi happened to see the message and came back directly."

　　Remembering that Xiaoji had just said that Lu Chi didn't need to come back, You Lanshu pushed her son unnecessarily, "Go back to class quickly."

　　Lu Chi was very confused: "???"

　　"mom?"

　　Gu Ji initially said that Lu Chi didn't need to come back because he wanted to avoid delaying his studies, and it would be troublesome for him to come back specially. But now that he has come back, it would be even more troublesome to send him back.

　　Gu Ji said: "I'm back now, it's a good time to rest, don't leave in a hurry."

　　Lu Chi stood next to Gu Ji. He had no intention of leaving.

　　"Brother, when did you come back?" Lu Chi asked in a low voice.

　　"Not long after, Aunt You called you back." Gu Ji said with a smile.

　　Lu Chi is a smart man and he can roughly guess the general idea from these three or two sentences.

　　His brother had never approved of his skipping classes, even though he often climbed over the wall to play in high school.

　　But to avoid Gu Ji sending him back to school, Lu Chi lied, "I'm studying at school today, and I can study at home."

　　Gu Ji looked back and asked, "Did you bring the book back?"

　　Although Lu Chi had a black bag on his shoulder, it looked light and did not look like it was filled with books.

　　"..."

　　Lu Chi struggled and said, "There are some at home, too."

　　Gu Ji couldn't help but laugh.

　　You Lanshu watched the two brothers talking, then stood up and left. "Auntie is cooking for lunch today, so Auntie Zhang won't come over. I'm going to buy groceries now, so you guys can have fun at home."
