Chapter 270 Lu Xingchun
"...My younger brother?"
Lu Jinzhao couldn't help but confirm.
“That’s right, they are twins.” The woman, who looked remarkably like her father, nodded and patiently answered Lu Jinzhao’s questions.
They're twins?
Lu Jinzhao was even more puzzled.
Twins are usually closer than sisters, but she never heard a word about it from her parents.
Even when they occasionally talked about how their elders had taught them when educating Lu Jinzhao, they never mentioned this older sister.
It was as if this person didn't exist at all.
"May I ask what your name is?" Lu Jinzhao looked at the woman in front of her. Perhaps she was shocked by the sudden news, because she felt her heart beating faster than usual, almost as fast as a normal person's.
"Me?" The woman blinked at Lu Jinzhao, not answering her immediately, but instead asked, "You're from outside the school, right? Is there something you need from my brother?"
Lu Jinzhao felt that she was probably being wary of her and Lin Lin, which was normal, but she really didn't know how to answer this question.
Instinctively, Lu Jinzhao felt that it would be difficult to make up an excuse to fool this seemingly gentle person. The other party did not make things difficult for her, but it did not mean that she could be easily deceived.
She paused for two seconds to think, then made her decision. Looking at the woman, she slowly asked:
Do you believe in ghosts?
【ha.】
A word of unclear meaning floated out from the sheepskin, seemingly mocking, or perhaps trying to say something, but in the end it said nothing, and after exhaling, it fell silent again.
The woman's expression didn't change when she heard those words, but Lu Jinzhao felt that the woman's gaze seemed to deepen.
“This is a new era now,” she said.
Lin Lin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, finding the scene somewhat interesting and even familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
It's like when someone asked Lu Jinzhao a question he didn't want to answer directly, but needed to evade, during his school days, and this was the attitude Lu Jinzhao would give.
It's so similar, so incredibly similar.
Even their appearance is the gentle look inherited from the Lu family.
"So you don't believe me?" Lu Jinchao pressed.
The woman remained unmoved: "Comrade, you can't just say things like that now. What exactly do you want?"
Lu Jinzhao felt a subtle sense of frustration, a feeling she rarely experienced when conversing with people her own age.
Although they are elders, they are actually about the same age as us, right?
I might even be older than her now?
"Do all people with the surname Lu like to beat around the bush when they speak?" Lin Lin asked deliberately from the side.
The woman's attention was drawn to Lin Lin's words, and she turned her head to ask him with a slightly questioning look.
Lin Lin leaned closer and said sweetly, "Sister, my friend's surname is also Lu?"
"Oh?" The woman looked at her, a hint of contemplation in her eyes.
But then, Lin Lin threw out another sentence that caught her completely off guard.
"Sister, my friend also takes the train? The kind where you can see ghosts."
Compared to Lu Jinzhao's probing, Lin Lin is better at delivering a direct and forceful attack.
If this "sister" is a passenger, or even knows anything about passengers, she cannot possibly remain unresponsive.
This is a move she often uses on Lu Jinzhao. The reason they became good friends was largely thanks to Lin Lin, who has always loved to be straightforward since childhood!
She thought this tactic might also work on this elder sister from the Lu family.
Sure enough, the woman in front of them looked surprised. She glanced at Lin Lin, then turned to Lu Jinzhao: "Which station are you from? What brings you here?"
Lin Lin did not answer again, and Lu Jinzhao continued with the question: "Do you know Yuncheng?"
She unconsciously started using honorifics.
The woman nodded, seemingly quite used to others using honorifics towards her: "I've heard of it, but I've never been there. Is there a platform there too?" It seemed she hadn't even been to a platform with the passengers from Yuncheng.
“Yes, we are from Yuncheng,” Lu Jinzhao simply said.
"So why are you looking for my brother?"
"Can you tell me your name first?" Lu Jinzhao insisted on knowing first. She couldn't explain why, but she just cared a lot.
The woman looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I don't know why, but hello, my name is Lu Xingchun."
"What's your name? Can you tell me that too?" Lu Xingchun returned the courtesy.
"I'm sorry." Lu Jinzhao shook her head. "I don't know if I can say it, so I'd better not."
Lu Xingchun smiled politely, though the thought that popped into his mind at that moment wasn't exactly polite.
"So, can we talk about your purpose now?"
Wow.
Lin Lin silently commented in her heart: This sister's patience is gradually disappearing. Even in this aspect, she is very similar to Lu Jinzhao!
"Do you know Yu Li?" Lu Jinzhao didn't start explaining, but instead asked another question.
"Xiao Li? I know her."
"Is she dating Lu Mishan?"
Lu Xingchun felt a headache coming on.
What kind of questions are these?
What exactly is this girl doing here?
Normally, she would have already given a few perfunctory words and walked away; no, she wouldn't even have stopped to ask those unnecessary questions.
But when she looked directly into Lu Jinzhao's eyes, she inexplicably became a little more patient.
"If that's what you want to know, I can tell you, no."
No?
Lu Jinzhao was even more puzzled.
She's not dating yet, and there's not much time left until she's born.
Lu Xingchun looked at her with calm eyes and a smile on his lips, as if he wanted to see what questions this strange, suddenly appearing girl could ask.
Sure enough, she asked another question.
"You're all passengers now, why are you still in school?"
Lu Xingchun looked at her, his expression slightly thoughtful, but still answered her question first: "The passengers in Anning City are divided into several groups, one of which... most of them are at this school, right?"
Are they using the campus as their base?
Lu Jinzhao and Lin Lin both thought of the rumors they heard from the driver on the way here. Did it mean that something happened to the passengers at this school at some point?
It's highly likely that Lu Jinzhao's mother and father were also involved in that incident.
Perhaps it also includes this "older sister" she has never heard of.
What happened during that accident that made her father never speak of his twin sister again?
Lu Jinzhao really wanted to figure this out, but it hadn't happened yet "now," at this moment.
"So many questions." Lu Xingchun's tone carried a slight complaint, but it didn't sound annoying at all. Instead, it was gentle and kind, making it difficult for people to ask any more questions.
Lin Lin looked at her, then at Lu Jinzhao, her eyes shining.
Seeing that the girl in front of her stopped pressing for answers after hearing her words, Lu Xingchun bluntly asked, "Speaking of which, I thought you looked familiar when I saw you from afar. How do you know my brother and Xiaoli?"
The key point is, he knows Miyama and Xiaoli, but he doesn't know her?
That's a bit strange.
My mom had a minor surgery at the hospital these past few days, and I went to be with her.
