874 Can’t Disconnec (1/2)

”Me, too!” Lu Zihao grinned. His eyes shone with excitement like a naughty kid who finally got what he wanted after a long time of begging. ”Nikolai and I made an agreement. I helped him resolve an issue with—ahahaha—so funny! He's gonna flip out if I tell you so I'll keep my mouth shut for now. The asshole can be so awkward and cute sometimes but he doesn't want to let anyone know and destroy his tough macho image. Hahaha! Besides, I don't want him going apeshit on me and not allowing me to use my body again in the future. It's so much better when the two of us are cooperating like this instead of fighting all the time. Tsk. It's so tiring to fight, you know, especially if you're sharing one body. We can't kick each other out. For now, at least. Who knows what will happen in the future?

”Anyway, like I said, that mafia boss and I have some sort of deal. In exchange for helping him, he'll let me take over my body tonight so that I can talk to you. I was so excited when he finally decided to return here at Dragon Palace! I couldn't wait to tell you that I'm still here, even if it's just a semi-alive remnant of my former self, and that we can still hang out sometimes if I get the chance to take over my body again.”

There was so much information that Jin Liwei was able to grasp from his fifth brother's words. At the same time, more questions popped inside his mind. Despite his desire to ask for clarification about many things, he restrained himself because he didn't want to waste the limited time that he could spend with his fifth brother tonight. He didn't know how long Lu Zihao would be able to stay in control of the body until he ran out of energy and needed to ”recharge” again like he said.

In addition, there was still Nikolai that they had to keep in mind. Who knew how long the man would allow his fifth brother free rein until he wrested back control of the body?

Therefore, Jin Liwei allowed Lu Zihao to chatter away without too much interruption. Spending time with him like this and knowing that his fifth brother was back, albeit in an unnatural existence as a remnant, was enough for Jin Liwei for now.

”I was waiting the entire day to come out and talk to you but Nikolai kept on telling me that it's not the right time yet. He said that his sister, your beautiful wife, is pregnant and I shouldn't come out in front of her without any warning or she might freak out and faint or something.”

Jin Liwei nodded. ”En. It's better if we let my wife know first about you before introducing the two of you to each other. I want you to meet your sister-in-law.”

Lu Zihao gave a thumbs up. ”Oh yeah. I want to meet your wife, too! Let's do it next time 'cuz right now...I'm starting to…get…tired….”

”So soon?” Jin Liwei frowned. An unwilling expression appeared on his face.

”Yeah…sorry, Third Bro...ugh!” Lu Zihao doubled over and fell from his seat to the floor on all fours.

”Stay back!” Lu Zihao snarled.

Jin Liwei knew in that instant that Nikolai was back. ”No, you're going to hurt yourself if I leave you alone!”
