A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

"impossible!"

Lu Chenyuan retorted almost immediately, but his voice was filled with confusion.

"Yeah?"

Lu Chenzhou raised an eyebrow, a hint of understanding in his eyes.

"Then why did you lose your composure because she gave up?"

"Why did you come back?"

His voice was steady, yet every word he uttered was piercing.

"Lu Chenyuan, do you really have absolutely no feelings for her? Do you really not like her?"

Lu Chenzhou's words were like a sharp knife, piercing through Lu Chenyuan's disguise.

He was instantly speechless.

He wanted to refute and deny, but Lu Chenzhou's words hit him right where it hurt.

He had to admit that his feelings for Su Wan did indeed go beyond mere disgust.

However, he was unwilling to admit it, and dared not admit it.

a long time.

"Brother, you don't understand."

Lu Chenyuan's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of helplessness.

He couldn't say another word after that.

He didn't know what to say.

He just felt that Lu Chenzhou truly didn't understand his feelings.

Lu Chenzhou smiled.

It seemed she had figured out what he was thinking.

"The reason you're in so much pain right now isn't because you hate her, but because you like her, yet you're unwilling to admit it."

He analyzed it in depth, word by word.

"You're afraid of losing your mind because of love, and you're afraid of accepting change."

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be afraid to love...?"

"Will you regret it for the rest of your life?"

Lu Chenzhou's words struck Lu Chenyuan's heart like a heavy hammer.

He fell silent, his eyes filled with struggle.

He remembered Su Wan's smile, her anger, the way she threw his drink, and the resolute way she said "It's over"...

Those images played back in his mind like a movie.

Every scene caused him a dull ache in his heart.

Has he really fallen for Su Wan?

Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Lu Chenzhou watched him struggle and said nothing more.

He knew that some things could only be understood by himself.

All he could do was to enlighten him.

As for the final choice, it's up to him.

Silence fell over the room, broken only by the sound of the wind outside the window, gently rustling the curtains.

Lu Chenyuan leaned against the headboard, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind a complete mess.

He didn't know what to do, or how to choose.

All he knew was that his heart was in turmoil.

And the one who started all of this was Su Wan.

The girl who burst into his gloomy life like a flame.

A noise came from downstairs; it was Lu's mother calling Lu Chenzhou downstairs.

Lu Chenzhou patted Lu Chenyuan on the shoulder and said.

"I won't tell them until you've thought it through."

Then I went downstairs.

Lu Chenyuan did not come downstairs for dinner.

Until after dinner.

Lu Chenzhou pushed open Lu Chenyuan's door again.

Only one bedside lamp was on in the room.

The dim light blurred Lu Chenyuan's figure.

He was still leaning against the headboard, but this time, he finally lit a cigarette.

But when the cigarette burned to the end, he felt nothing, as if he couldn't feel any pain.

The cigarette ash fell on the clean white sheets, like a broken piece of ashes.

Lu Chenzhou didn't speak, but stood quietly at the door, his gaze fixed on him.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and started thinking about it on his own, not knowing how long it would take.

Lu Chenzhou decided to give him another push.

He spoke slowly, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather.

"Want to go to the balcony for a smoke?"

Lu Chenyuan did not respond.

After a while, she got up and went to the balcony.

The night was as dark as ink, enveloping the entire city of Shanghai in a serene stillness.

The distant neon lights shimmered through the air, casting glittering golden light in my eyes.

The evening breeze was damp and felt slightly cool on my face.

The two Lu brothers stood side by side on the balcony, each with a cigarette between their fingers.

Smoke rose in the night, blurring their silhouettes.

They were both extremely handsome men, yet they possessed completely different auras.

Lu Chenzhou was dressed in a casual suit, exuding a calm and refined demeanor, with a hint of world-weariness in his eyes and brows.

Lu Chenyuan was wearing a black T-shirt, his posture was upright, his eyes were sharp, but there was also a trace of lingering confusion.

Only when the cigarette was almost burned out did Lu Chenzhou turn his head, look at Lu Chenyuan's profile, and suddenly smile.

"Shen Yuan, what do you think of my relationship with your sister-in-law?"

"Your relationship has always been good; you don't need to tell me."

Lu Chenyuan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible irritation.

He came back to find some peace and quiet, not to listen to his older brother talk about relationships.

Since meeting Su Wan, the word "love" has become his nightmare.

"Is it good?"

Lu Chenzhou chuckled softly, his tone tinged with self-deprecation.

"I got together with her back then only because I was drunk and had sex with her, and that's how I got Yao Yao."

"I'm a man, I have to take responsibility for her."

"But to me, she's always been more like family."

Lu Chenzhou's voice lowered, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Lu Chenyuan turned to look at him, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Your life is peaceful, everyone envies you, and everyone thinks you are very happy."

"I don't feel happy, and tranquility doesn't seem to be what I want either."

Lu Chenzhou shook his head, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it out with his foot.

"There's no need to be envious. Sometimes, I'm more envious of you."

Why?

Lu Chenyuan was puzzled.

He always felt that his older brother's life was what he truly wanted.

Peaceful, calm, without any waves, unlike him, who faces evil and darkness every day.

Now, he's being kept on edge by that woman, Su Wan.

"I envy you for not marrying Lin Man yet, and for having another chance to choose."

Lu Chenzhou's gaze fell on the distant night, his voice carrying a hint of regret.

"And I have already missed this opportunity."

He recalled his first time with Shuyue at the family reunion banquet hosted by both sets of parents.

He drank too much that day, and when he woke up, Shu Yue was lying next to him.

At that time, they hadn't even held hands yet.

The act of sexual misconduct while intoxicated was entirely unexpected.

He still harbored a tinge of regret.

However, that slight regret was filled in after the birth of her daughter, Yao Yao.

Lu Chenzhou lit another cigarette, took a drag, and his eyes became deep amidst the swirling smoke.

"You know what I'm going to say, don't you? Shen Yuan, you're a smart person, you've been smart since you were a child, you understand what I mean."

Having said that, he stopped there, leaving it at that.

He knew that with Lu Chenyuan's intelligence, he would definitely understand what he was saying.

Silence fell over the air once again.

Seeing that Lu Chenyuan remained silent for a long time, Lu Chenzhou had no choice but to speak again, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

"A girl, disregarding her reputation and dignity, pursued you so passionately that the entire police station building and even her circle of acquaintances knew about it."

"Shen Yuan, I envy you."

"If I had met a girl like Su Wan before marriage, I definitely wouldn't have chosen Shu Yue."

"But I have no choice. What's done is done, and all I can do is stay with your sister-in-law and live a good life."

"And you still have a chance. Don't be foolish, don't do anything you'll regret for the rest of your life."

Lu Chenyuan fell even more silent after hearing these words.
