Chapter 75
Wang Sisi: "It seems like someone has been pursuing Song Luokui recently. I suspect it\'s Senior Chi Yu, shh, no one should know."
Lin Cheng: "[Covers mouth] I know."
Lin Cheng: "Does Senior Chi Yu need to pursue anyone? But... someone like Junior sister Song does need it. Oh no, I remember that Senior Chi Yu and Senior Song didn\'t get along well."
Wang Sisi: "Shh shh shh, let\'s just secretly gossip about it, okay?"
Lin Cheng: "Got it, got it."
...
After showering, Song Luokui saw the photo Chi Yu took of himself, standing next to a ruler, with his palm connecting his head and the ruler showing 187 cm.
Song Luokui: "..." Suddenly finding it a bit funny, what\'s going on? Song Luokui crawled onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her head. Today was too exciting, she didn\'t want to reply to him.
After a while, Song Luokui lifted the blanket and looked at that message again, who knows if he was wearing shoes? Hmph!
Time to sleep!
A few days later, Song Luokui felt that she hadn\'t been home for a long time, so she went back for a visit. She turned on the TV, and the news reported on the diplomatic exchange between Country X and Hua Country.
Song Luokui then remembered that her brother Song Luosheng had gone on a business trip to Country X a few days ago.
It was currently night time in Hua Country, so it should still be daytime in Country X. Song Luokui sent Song Luosheng a message telling him to be careful, but he didn\'t reply.
At that moment, Song Luosheng was meeting with a minister named Xavier from the Commerce Department in a hotel in Country X.
"I come with sincerity, and I believe our cooperation will bring more job opportunities to your country," said Song Luosheng, dressed in a well-fitted suit, leaning confidently on the sofa chair. Although young, no one present dared to underestimate him.
"Of course, I trust Mr. Song, and I was actually good friends with Mr. Song\'s father."
"Oh, I know, I\'ve met you when I was little."
"Hahaha."
They were chatting pleasantly, both sides quite satisfied, when suddenly there was a loud "boom," as if an earthquake had struck. Everyone instantly dropped to the floor as debris fell from the ceiling.
Xavier shouted, "What\'s going on!"
The bodyguards rushed in to protect them. "There\'s a terrorist attack, we must leave immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rocket was thrown straight in from outside!
Song Luosheng rolled to the side of a pillar. After the rocket exploded, he immediately crouched down and ran for safety under the protection of the bodyguards, heading toward the hotel\'s secure area.
Outside, a bearded man was carrying a rocket launcher, shouting, "The economy of our Country X will never allow interference from other countries! Damn the Malta government, they are traitors!"
With a "swoosh," a rocket hit the hotel, immediately causing a large part of the building to collapse...
"Watch out!" Song Luosheng felt someone push him, then someone shielded him from the blast and collapsing debris...
...
Song Luokui wasn\'t sleeping well. She had another dream where her brother Song Luosheng jumped off a rooftop, his eyes wide open, his features distorted and bleeding, with many people watching but no one coming forward...
"Brother!" Song Luokui woke up drenched in sweat, realizing it was just a dream. But the dream was so vivid that she could still see her brother\'s open, unblinking eyes. She touched her face, still feeling unnerved.
Song Luokui got out of bed for a drink of water and wiped off her sweat, planning to go back to sleep. But she couldn\'t fall asleep, so she picked up her phone to check the news. As soon as she opened it, a breaking news alert caught her eye.
"Terrorist attack in Country X, assailant attacks hotel where Hua Country businessman was staying, casualties still being counted."
Song Luokui immediately jumped up and frantically called Song Luosheng, but there was no answer, causing her to nearly cry out of fear.
She rushed out of her room. The lights in the study and downstairs were on. She heard her father Song Moqian on the phone, "Please notify me as soon as you have any news about my son."
After the person on the other end spoke, Song Moqian hung up.
Song Moqian suddenly noticed a shadow at the door. "Who\'s there?"
Song Luokui then entered, looking like she was about to cry. "Dad, did something happen to Brother?"
Seeing his younger daughter\'s fearful expression, Song Moqian immediately hugged her reassuringly. "Don\'t worry, your brother will be fine. I\'ve asked to be notified of any news, and the embassy is also handling it. Your brother was often sent for military training when he was young, so he\'ll be okay. He also had bodyguards with him, don\'t be afraid."
Song Moqian then noticed Song Luokui was barefoot. "Why aren\'t you wearing shoes?"
Song Luokui wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes. "I was in such a hurry."
At that moment, Sheng Rong returned from outside. Seeing Song Luokui, she immediately went over and hugged her. "Luokui, don\'t be afraid. I just got more information. Your brother probably escaped, don\'t worry."
"Okay." Song Luokui nodded, burying her face in her mother\'s embrace.
After Song Moqian and Sheng Rong comforted Song Luokui and had her lie down to sleep, they left her room.
But as soon as they left, Song Luokui opened her eyes again, unable to sleep. She noticed that Chi Yu had called her many times.
Remembering Chi Yu\'s earlier words, Song Luokui immediately called him back. He answered right away, "You know what happened?"
Song Luokui, her voice still nasal, "Yeah."
Hearing her voice, Chi Yu\'s heart ached a little. If possible, he would have gone straight to her house. "Don\'t be afraid, I just received news that your brother was injured but not in any life-threatening danger. Your father should receive the message soon too."
Song Luokui: "How did you know?"
Chi Yu: "I\'m friends with the Third Prince of Country X, he told me."
Song Luokui knew Chi Yu\'s information would be accurate, and her heart settled a bit. "Is my brother seriously injured?"
Chi Yu: "No, not seriously, don\'t worry."
"Okay. Thank you, Chi Yu." Song Luokui twisted the fuzz on her blanket, her damp eyelashes fluttering slightly. The benefits of being on good terms with Chi Yu were quite obvious.
Chi Yu\'s gaze fell on an album nearby. "Song Luokui, come to a private party with me."
Song Luokui remained silent.
Chi Yu: "Just a few people. Your brother won\'t know. You don\'t need to do anything."
Song Luokui: "When?"
Chi Yu: "End of the month."
"Okay."
"Alright, get some good rest. What you\'re worried about won\'t happen."
"Okay~"
"Good night."
After hanging up, Song Luokui hid under the blanket. It wasn\'t long before she fell asleep.
The next morning, Song Luokui woke up early and also learned about her brother\'s condition from her parents. He had only suffered minor injuries and a concussion but was in good physical health, similar to what Chi Yu had said last night.
At noon, the family finally had a video call with Song Luosheng. His face looked a bit pale on the video, with his forehead bandaged.
"I\'m fine, Sis. Were you crying last night? Don\'t worry about me. I\'m doing well. I just haven\'t bought you a gift yet. If I don\'t bring one back, will Princess Luokui eat me up?"
Song Luokui was both amused and nearly in tears by his teasing. "I would never eat you up. You really scared me, Brother."
