Chapter 65 You're actually feeling guilty?
The leatherback turtle that followed was purely out of curiosity.
I just sent that human back to his home, how come everyone on the island has disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Worried, it tracked the direction the fishing boat had left and followed it all the way.
Only after it saw Zhou Miao and the others disappear from the shore did it slowly dive into the water, preparing to leave.
However, carrying people and following them all the way had greatly depleted the leatherback tortoise's energy, and it was now extremely hungry and needed to find a lot of food.
Below the rows of fish rafts along the shore is where the most small fish gather, naturally attracting its attention.
Its massive body slowly approached, its original target being the central area of the fish rafts.
However, the unusually obvious movement of the fish in the southeast direction attracted its attention.
The choice was obvious; the leatherback turtle immediately changed direction and swam in that direction.
Although they weren't its favorite jellyfish, these fresh fish were still quite good and enough to fill its belly.
The leatherback turtle eventually came to lie down directly under Zhou Miao's fishing raft. Its huge body startled the previously leisurely school of fish, causing them to scatter and flee.
Unfortunately, it wasn't fast enough to catch up with these agile fish.
However, leatherback turtles also have their own way of hunting during the day. They remain motionless with their mouths slightly open, waiting for food to come to them automatically.
Time passed slowly, and after more than ten minutes, the fish that had been startled realized there was no danger and gathered back under the fish raft.
Some bolder fish will even swim up to the leatherback turtle, some hiding in the shadows of its belly, while others foolishly swim up to its head, even curiously circling around the edge of its slightly open mouth.
How could the leatherback turtle let such a good opportunity pass by? With a quick stretch and retraction of its head, its enormous bite force immediately tore a small fish in two.
The sudden noise startled the small fish in front of it, causing them to move away, but some forgetful or newly arrived fish would always get closer.
Meanwhile, on the shore, Zhou Miao and Lu Xiaoxiao were helping Lu Xingyu walk home.
You need to give him a bath first, then take him to the hospital for a check-up.
Arriving at the familiar rented apartment, Lu Xingyu paused, looking at Zhou Miao in surprise: "Isn't this my rented apartment? Who lives here?"
Zhou Miao's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! He was so happy that his brother was back that he forgot he and Lu Xiaoxiao were living together!
He looked a little awkward, but he forced himself to suppress his guilt and explained in a calm tone, "Because of what happened to you, I was summoned by the police station, and then I ran into the landlord, so I moved in."
"I see!" Lu Xingyu nodded knowingly. Seeing him open the door, he followed him inside and casually asked his sister, "Xiaoxiao, where do you live?"
"Me?" Lu Xiaoxiao blinked, looking completely at ease. "I live here!"
After saying that, she looked at her two older brothers with a slight smile.
Especially his own brother, he'd probably be furious.
At this moment, she was clearly having a bit of a wicked sense of humor.
Lu Xingyu's safe return completely lifted the weight off her heart. No longer feeling repressed, her mischievous nature came out.
"You live here too!" Lu Xingyu paused after saying that, then turned sharply to look at his sister in shock, his voice immediately rising eight octaves, "You live here?"
Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao nod naturally, he froze, turning to his best friend in disbelief: "You two are living together?"
"..."
If they were just living under the same roof and nothing had happened, and considering that she was helping to take care of her brother's sister, Zhou Miao could have faced the questions with complete confidence.
But the thought of Lu Xiaoxiao kissing him first and acting all cute and affectionate made him feel uneasy, and he couldn't say anything.
"Holy crap? You're feeling guilty? You're actually feeling guilty!" Lu Xingyu was really worried now. If he had a clear conscience, he wouldn't have made such an expression.
Enraged, he grabbed his best friend by the collar, gritting his teeth, "Tell me, how far have you two gotten?"
Zhou Miao said helplessly to Lu Xiaoxiao, who was watching the commotion, "Stop laughing and explain yourself!"
"What's there to explain? Explain that we kissed?" Lu Xiaoxiao continued to provoke trouble.
"kiss?!!!"
Lu Xingyu slowly released his hand, clutched his chest, and staggered back a few steps.
This immediately panicked Lu Xiaoxiao, who quickly helped him up and said anxiously, "Brother, where do you feel unwell? I'm so sorry, I was just joking. There's nothing between you and me, please don't be angry."
"Brother?" Lu Xingyu's pupils dilated in shock.
"Sit down, sit down. You're too weak, you can't handle this." Zhou Miao quickly stepped forward to help him sit on the sofa.
"It's nothing, I just felt a rush of blood and felt dizzy for a moment." Lu Xingyu waved his hand, looking at the two of them with a complicated expression. "What exactly happened between you two?"
"Not only... you know, they even have nicknames for each other now. Are they really together?"
"You've misunderstood. Nothing's wrong. I just thought you were in trouble, so I took your place as your older brother and took care of Xiaoxiao. You should rest first, then take a shower and go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't think about anything else for now."
Zhou Miao quickly ended the topic. His relationship with Lu Xiaoxiao was strange and hard to explain in a short time. He would talk about it properly after he calmed down.
Lu Xiaoxiao's situation is indeed quite unusual, and her personality is also very changeable.
She was quiet before, then became a bit yandere and abnormal, and now that Lu Xingyu is back, her personality has become a bit wicked again. Zhou Miao can't tell which one is the real her at all.
I initially thought she was the type of girl who would be a virtuous wife and loving mother, but it turns out she's an unpredictable person.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first." Lu Xingyu knew that now was not the time.
In fact, he had no problem with Zhou Miao. He had known him for many years and had not seen any bad habits in him.
It's just that his younger sister is too important to him, so when he learned that she might be in a relationship and leave him, he suddenly couldn't accept it emotionally.
Now that I've calmed down, I actually think my good brother is a pretty good choice for a brother-in-law.
In particular, Zhou Miao took him into the master bedroom to take a shower, while his sister stayed in the second bedroom.
Seeing her bring her clothes from inside the house, Lu Xingyu was even more satisfied.
The fact that they sleep in separate rooms even though they live together shows that the good brother knows his limits and did not do anything inappropriate to his sister while he was missing.
Seeing this, he finally felt relieved and prepared to take care of his personal hygiene first.
Having not taken a proper shower for over half a month, Lu Xingyu scrubbed himself repeatedly in the bathroom, taking a full half hour to wash before coming out.
Seeing Zhou Miao waiting for him outside, he smiled and said, "I feel like I've lost a few pounds, I feel so much better."
"Take a break and rest for a bit. I'll take you to the bathhouse for a good scrub in a few days." Zhou Miao got up and patted his shoulder, but it felt like he was hitting his skeleton directly.
"Brother, are you done washing up? Let's go to the hospital now! I'll call a ride-hailing service." Lu Xiaoxiao's voice came from the doorway, clearly indicating that she had heard the conversation inside.
"Okay." Lu Xingyu cooperated readily.
He also knows that he needs to recover quickly so that he can get involved in the fish raft business.
