Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 107 Past-I just like him
Ever since the first person knew about it, the relationship between Lin Lu and Pei Yizhou gradually became known to everyone.

First, Lin Lu’s classmate, Pei Yizhou, appeared in her school too often. There was a pair of twins in her class, but they didn’t meet as often as Pei Yizhou did.

He always waited downstairs of the dormitory, bringing all kinds of gifts. At first, everyone thought he was just a handsome brother from a classmate's family and had no intention of offending him. When they saw him, they would say to Lin Lu, "Our brother is here again."

Later they realized something was wrong, whose brother was more conscientious than being a boyfriend. So when someone came, they would lie by the window in groups of three or five to watch.

Then Lin Lu rushed into Pei Yizhou's arms and was kissed on the forehead.

Thinking they had discovered the truth, a group of people upstairs screamed quietly.

They didn't know about the brother and sister's past, so it was easy for them to accept it. They even asked Lin Lu if their previous calling of brother and sister was just an ambiguous nickname between lovers.

For example, Huang Rong likes to call Jing brother. Lin Lu was shocked by such an analogy.

Then there were Pei Yizhou’s classmates and friends - it was difficult to hide the fact in front of this group of people, and Pei Yizhou did not hide the fact that he liked his sister.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he left as soon as the get out of class was over. Before leaving, he dressed himself up as if he was going to meet his girlfriend, saying that he was going to "see my sister."

There were never any other girls around me, and my destination every time I was on the road was “to my sister’s place”.

Anything I bought that wasn’t my own was “for my sister.”

He was half drunk at the party before graduation. Someone asked him if he had someone he liked. He said yes. When asked who it was, he just smiled and said nothing. He was too drunk to answer the question, but he still didn't forget to report his whereabouts to his sister.

The screensaver of his cell phone was a photo of the brother and sister. When his roommate saw it and asked his sister if she had a boyfriend, he didn't look at her in a good mood.

I worked on a project with my teachers and seniors, and used all the money from selling the software to buy gifts for my sister. I finally saved some money, which I also left for my sister.

In the middle of the month, he stayed up late in the dormitory to write a patent application report. Halfway through, when everyone was exhausted, he suddenly stood up and went to the balcony to make a phone call. His roommate overheard a few words, and the first sentence was "Is your period coming?"...

Each and every one of them is so obvious.

The people who finally knew about their relationship were their neighbors, high school alumni, and teachers.

It was in front of this group of people that Pei Yizhou showed unexpected forbearance and retreat.

Within one kilometer around the house, especially in the apartment building, their clasped hands would loosen, Pei Yizhou would just walk behind her, and his words and actions were within the normal scope of brother and sister interactions.

But it is impossible to keep something secret once it has happened, let alone something as uncontrollable as emotions.

The rumors eventually spread to those around him.

A group of elders, led by Grandma Qiu, came to Pei Yizhou's house and scolded him harshly. Everyone who passed by seemed to be whispering about the dirty tricks between them with their eyes.

Although everyone knows that they are not related by blood, they have long been accustomed to treating them as biological siblings.

The story of the two young boys and girls who depended on each other was so inspiring and touching back then, but now many people are calling for their death. Those weird looks seem to be saying, "Maybe Pei Yizhou has had this idea for a long time and that's why he recognized Lin Lu as his sister."

Lin Lu didn't feel deeply about these things because Pei Yizhou said he was on a business trip recently and told her not to go home and just stay in school.

Until one day when she went home to get clothes, she found several distant relatives of the Lin family sitting in the living room, pointing at Pei Yizhou and cursing him.

Pei Yizhou just listened, neither refutating nor responding, like a goose who was caught doing something wrong and could only endure it silently. Lin Lu heard a few words, and before they could get angry at her, Pei Yizhou pushed her into the room in a panic, trying to close the door so that she would not come out.

"Why don't you go out? They are my relatives, why are they scolding you?"

Pei Yizhou refused to say more and whispered, "They are angry and their words are not pleasant to the ears."

Lin Lu looked like a sika deer with its horns raised up, ready to charge people - that's how Pei Yizhou described it to her later.

She said, "I'm going to go out and listen to it even if it's not nice. Love is a matter between two people. Didn't you ever think about this day before? When I agreed to be with you, I thought that sooner or later we would be talked about. I had already planned on those slaps I gave you."

Then he pushed him behind him and confronted his fourth aunt who came up to scold him: "Stop scolding him! This is our own business!"

The fourth cousin came forward again, pointed at Pei Yizhou with a frown and asked her: "Did he seduce you?!"

People who enter society first always have to bear more responsibilities and are more speculative about people who are not of the same kind.

In their opinion, the problem must be with Pei Yizhou. If he had been able to stick to himself, this matter would never have been possible.

Lin Lu answered firmly: "No! Isn't it okay for us to have feelings for each other after spending so much time together? I lost my parents during my adolescence and lacked love. Is it abnormal for me to like someone who takes care of me? Who else can take care of me better than him?"

This is different from what they agreed.

Pei Yizhou lowered his eyes and looked at her with her hair standing on end. He remembered that when Lin Lu agreed to try to accept him, she said she would put all the blame on him.

It was he who seduced her and forced her.

She just needs to be a poor innocent person, and no matter what anyone says, no one will verbally attack her.

Instead of trying to stand in front of him.

Fourth Aunt was worried that she was too young to understand how hateful men were, so she advised her earnestly: "He is taking advantage of you. Have you ever thought about what you would do if he falls in love with someone else one day? How would others see you? How would your future boyfriend see you?"

Just like Pei Yizhou's parents, love like a moth to a flame is of course a beautiful story, and many people praise and envy it, but if they were the parties involved, it would be a wise choice to prioritize the risks of a failed relationship.

Pei Yizhou held Lin Lu's hand tightly, even causing her some pain, as if he was worried that she would think along these words and become shaken.

He and Aunt Pei are actually the same kind of people. When they are thirsty for water, they don't consider the consequences of drinking heavily. When they are thirsty for love, their brains are only controlled by this one thought, and they also don't care about the consequences.

Lin Lu is different from them and their mother.

"I have thought about these issues," she answered her fourth aunt's concerns, "but I am not afraid. I am in a relationship because I like him, not to let others see me, nor to find a nursing home to spend the rest of my life. I just like him."

She was stubborn and a group of people came and cursed at her and left again.

Lin Lu saw them off and returned home to see Pei Yizhou sitting in the living room, distracted, his eyes mechanically following her movements.

Then he asked out of nowhere: "Why aren't you afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?" She said casually while sweeping the floor with her back to the sofa, "I decided to like you, just like deciding to buy a piece of clothing. If I think clearly and can afford the price, I will buy it. After I buy it, I will wear it happily. It's that simple."
