Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Emotions Don’t Connect

Lin Siyin also heard that strange sound?

Lu Zixun furrowed his brows, it seemed that he hadn’t been hallucinating just now.

Thinking of admitting he’d heard it, but seeing the frightened look on Lin Siyin’s face, he stayed silent for a while and shook his head, "I was just watching TV, didn’t hear any sound, what’s up?"

At these words, a look of relief appeared on Lin Siyin’s face, possibly thinking she had misheard, she nodded and said, "That’s good, I thought it was the neighbor..."

Before she could finish, the voice of a young man cursing angrily came from the door, "You damn old fool, I’m laying it down here, if you still want me as your son, bring me two hundred thousand tomorrow, or else I’m going to be chopped up and dumped into the river by those bastards!"

"Guohong, please don’t gamble anymore, Dad is begging you, we really can’t afford to gamble any longer."

"Don’t give me that bullshit, I want to see that two hundred thousand tomorrow, otherwise I’ll just run away and let those bastards harass you day after day!"

"Bang!"

The sound of a door being slammed violently resounded, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps in the corridor.

Having listened to the exchange between the young man and the elderly, Lu Zixun looked up at Lin Siyin in confusion.

What was this situation, some kind of family drama?

Lin Siyin’s brows creased slightly as she sighed, "That was Uncle Li from next door and his son talking just now. The kid is young but he’s living off his parents and has even picked up a gambling addiction."

Lu Zixun’s eyebrows rose as he pondered; was gambling something that could get you hooked?

"It’s a shame about Uncle Li, he’s such a polite old man, to have a son like that."

Shaking her head, Lin Siyin sounded regretful, "Maybe it’s because he had a child late in life."

These basic details allowed Lu Zixun to guess what the situation probably was—likely a story about spoiling a child gone awry.

At this point, however, Lu Zixun suddenly remembered something—he had never heard Lin Siyin mention her mother. Could it be that...

He speculated aimlessly for a while, but didn’t plan to ask.

After she had specifically warned Lu Zixun not to come to her room, Lin Siyin returned to her own bedroom, leaving him alone in the living room watching TV series.

The TV series had only been on for a few seconds when Lu Zixun heard faint sobs and lamenting coming from the balcony next door; he frowned.

Worried that Uncle Li might do something rash, after a moment’s thought, Lu Zixun took his phone and went out to the balcony.

He found that Uncle Li hadn’t done anything drastic, just sitting there in a chair, holding a photo frame and wiping away tears, looking extremely pitiable.

Seeing this, Lu Zixun tilted his head and watched for a while, then heard the joyful laughter of a couple watching a movie downstairs, which contrasted sharply with Uncle Li’s tearful demeanor.

Indeed, human emotions are disconnected from one another.

Leaning on the balcony, Lu Zixun continued to watch the TV series, shook his head, and thought that emotions weren’t even connected with a cat.

A night passed without words.

Regardless of your experiences from yesterday, the dawn light of the next day rose as usual.

Lin Siyin, finally on a break, was still in bed at this time.

Lu Zixun, who was already up, gently covered Lin Siyin with a blanket before running to the living room to stabilize his Spiritual Energy.

This was something Lu Zixun had to do every day, no exceptions; if he didn’t, there was no telling if one day he’d break through to S-level in his sleep.

"Da Ju, good morning."

Rubbing her eyes and wearing Pikachu pajamas, Lin Siyin groggily stepped out of the bedroom.

After greeting Lu Zixun, she headed into the bathroom.

Lu Zixun, who was dozing on the couch, saw Lin Siyin get up and lazily lifted a paw, rolled over, and continued to close his eyes.

It wasn’t until after lunch that he learned Lin Siyin had an appointment that afternoon.

Most of their high school classmates had already returned home from university, and they were all waiting for Lin Siyin to get back for a reunion.

On this matter, Lu Zixun expressed his desire to tag along.

But he was ruthlessly rejected by Lin Siyin, "No way, there are a lot of people from this group who are my dad’s students. What if you get exposed and they spill the beans?"

As Lu Zixun looked somewhat dejected, thinking if he couldn’t bring it then, so be it.

Lin Siyin then changed the topic and said with a smile, "However, you can secretly follow us, and then we can go home together."

"No problem, I’ll protect you."

Suddenly energized, Lu Zixun immediately took out an Awakening Fragrance from his stored talismans and hung it around his neck, "When shall we leave, now or in a bit?"

Lin Siyin, who chuckled at Lu Zixun’s eagerness, checked the time and said, "Let’s go now. I’m going to tidy up the trash first and then we can head out."

"Little Yin, when did you get back?"

Just stepping out of the door, her neighbor Uncle Li, looking concerned, came out to greet her, managing a smile only upon seeing Lin Siyin.

"Yester... this morning."

Lin Siyin started to say one thing, felt it was not quite right, and corrected herself.

"Oh, make sure you study hard."

Uncle Li encouraged Lin Siyin with a bitter smile and then limped toward the elevator, leaning on his cane.

Watching Uncle Li’s retreating figure, Lin Siyin let out a silent sigh, with Lu Zixun also exhaling deeply alongside her.

"I really don’t understand."

Not in a hurry to go out, Lin Siyin returned to her room and closed the door, shaking her head, "Uncle Li used to be a professor-level figure, how could he have a son like that?"

"Being an educator doesn’t mean he knows how to educate his own children."

Lu Zixun casually commented and was met with a fierce glare from Lin Siyin, causing him to shrink his head back, not daring to speak any further.

Standing on the balcony and seeing Uncle Li with his cane leaving, Lin Siyin continued to head out with Lu Zixun.

It was the height of summer in Lingchuan City, and the sun in the sky was tremendously hot, almost melting Lu Zixun.

Thankfully, he had his Ice Spiritual Ability, or else he felt he would go crazy.

People you have to meet at noon must be quite important, thought Youyou, giving Lin Siyin a look, with Lu Zixun feeling a bit sour.

"Master, to Central Square, Zero Point building."

"Alright, young lady."

The taxi driver chatted amiably as the cab smoothly made its way towards Central Square.

"The young lady must have just returned from university, right? My daughter came back a few days ago too. Recently, if you’re going to Central Square, try not to stay out too late; it’s not safe."

Hearing this, Lin Siyin’s eyebrows creased slightly, she smiled and asked, "What happened? Central Square sometimes has brawls, but the security there is generally quite good, isn’t it?"

"It’s not about the security,"

he shook his head and steered the steering wheel to the left, "There have been a few drunk girls who disappeared mysteriously after leaving the bars, and other taxi drivers say that monsters snatched them away and drained them into human skins! Quite frightening indeed."
