The next day, Jiang Zhou invited Lu Heng to drink at his new hot pot restaurant.
Probably after rushing from a red building place, Lu Heng also smelled of alcohol when he came in. He kept holding Qing Ning’s hand, and his eyes were narrowed.
Seeing Qing Ning’s troubled face, Jiang Zhou opened his mouth to come to the rescue. “Brother Zhuo, what are you doing standing there stupidly?”
Lu Heng chuckled but didn’t hold Qing Ning anymore, and sat down casually at the table. “Why is Brother Jiang invite me to dinner today?”
Jiang Zhou smiled. “Of course, I’ll treat you to dinner only if I have something to do. Qing Ning, bring me my newly brewed wine.”
After Qing Ning left, Jiang Zhou solemnly opened his mouth. “I have confessed to Wen Yan.”
“Pfft!”
Lu Heng spat out a mouthful of water. “Confess? What confession?”
Jiang Zhou looked innocent. “I said I am not the original Jiang Zhou.”
“You dare to say this??” Lu Heng was dumbfounded. “He didn’t tear your hands off?”
Jiang Zhou shook his head and said deliberately. “Why would he tear my hands apart? Let me say something ugly, after losing his husband, what can a shuanger do? He can only rely on me, what else could he do except accept me. If it weren’t for me, do you think his life would be better now than before?”
“That’s right.” Lu Heng continued to think. “Look, if it weren’t for you, he would still be living in that little shabby house now.”
He had completely forgotten that Wen Yan and Jiang Zhou originally had their own home. When he came, he destroyed their home. The family property had also declined. Otherwise, with the savings saved by Jiang Zhou’s parents, how could he be reduced to living in a shabby thatched hut?
Jiang Zhou lowered his eyes and smiled. “That’s right, so now he doesn’t dare to say anything to me.”
Lu Heng praised him. “You are the only one who can do this. By the way, what do you want from me?”
“You can’t just come to me to show off your success, right?” Lu Heng slandered.
Jiang Zhou blinked. “I want you to be a witness. He already knew that I was a time traveler, he was still willing to accept me. To be honest, he had already guessed it, but he kept it secret and was still very good to me…”
Seeing the sour expression on Lu Heng’s face, Jiang Zhou felt very happy. “I want to be with him forever.”
Lu Heng was almost sore that his teeth dropped. “Don’t you just want to do that soul binding? When will it be done? I will definitely come over then!”
A smile flashed across Jiang Zhou’s eyes, and he toasted him with a glass of wine. “That’s very good. I’ll thank Brother Lu here now!”
“There is no need for that.” Lu Heng waved his hands repeatedly. “It shows that I am also lucky. After you use this spell, I can nourish my soul stably! I have become more and more turbulent recently, and I always feel that something is wrong.”
Jiang Zhou knew that it was Zhuo Bang. The man already aware and suspicious which made Lu Heng’s soul in danger, Zhuo Yan’s body would increasingly reject Lu Heng’s soul, just like Wen Yan did at the beginning. Wen Yan doubted him, and his soul became unstable. The longer it went on, the deeper the rejection became, and Lu Heng himself could no longer control it.
If Lu Heng’s soul still existed, Zhuo Yan might get possessed again and again later on.
.
The two drank another glass of wine, and Lu Heng sighed. “I thought Wen Yan wouldn’t agree to it. He’s such a person, tsk.”
Jiang Zhou, with a black line, asked, “What’s wrong with him?” This was not the first time that Lu Heng acted strangely in front of him. Every time he heard it, Jiang Zhou wanted to hit someone, but he held it back. Fortunately, he could take revenge in a while.
Lu Heng looked very melancholy. “Oh, I just feel that there is such a big difference between people.”
He was a straight man and it was okay if he didn’t like shuanger here, but why couldn’t Wen Yan be gentle to him? Didn’t he love his husband?
He felt very good about himself and always felt that he was the best, and he also got the starring role in the time-traveling script. However, for the first time, this feeling of good about himself was interrupted – he was not as good as Jiang Zhou, otherwise why would Wen Yan be so double-standard? If he was really loyal, how could he like this new traveler after disliking him so much? Of course, it didn’t feel nice to be discharged while other was treated good. It was very frustrating for him.
But he was a loyal person. Since Jiang Zhou asked him to be a witness, he would definitely go – he would not say that he wanted to confirm whether they could use this spell effectively!
