Iris froze, feeling the blood drain from her face. She stared at Lu Zihao, her expression filled with incredulity. Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. So many thoughts ran chaotically inside her mind, but she couldn't make sense of any of them.
Was it really possible that he could be…?
"Eh? Why are you speaking in Russian? Who's Evelinka?" Yu Mo asked. As a Systema instructor, he knew some basic Russian. However, Lu Zihao spoke too quickly for him to catch everything he said.
Lu Zihao ignored him, continuing to look at Iris. His posture and expression looked relaxed and carefree, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Lin Yehan was about to open his mouth to say something but Wang Yingjie stopped him with a gesture. The three brothers were confused about what was going on between their Fifth Brother and their Third Brother's girlfriend.
After a minute of silence, Iris hesitantly spoke. "B-big brother?" she asked in Russian.
Hopefully I was able to convey the tension in this chapter. Emotions can really f*ck people's rationality.
Now you (kinda) know who Fifth Brother is.
Thank you very much for reading and for your support, and of course, for your patience during this 1ch/day schedule while I'm sick. Your get well wishes are definitely working. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered in a few more days.
Be kind to one another. Cheers!
