Han Jing hadn’t felt anything before knowing the relationship between Lu Sheng and Lu Youming.
Now that he knew they were siblings with the same father but different mothers, the more he looked, the more he felt that these two people really resembled each other.
Both possessed exquisite appearances favored by the creator, both had superior intelligence and capabilities that crushed ordinary people, both appeared to be high school students but had multiple hidden identities, both had the unflappable demeanor of a big shot.
Even Lu Sheng was more formidable than Lu Youming.
Lu Sheng was a 6-star member of K.A, meaning she had top-end abilities in six fields.
Although he didn’t know what the other five fields were, just by seeing her combat skills, they had already witnessed how strong her abilities were.
Tonight, the girl on the ring had kicked Tu Shan, who weighed over two hundred kilograms, flying with one kick. This scene had indeed caused a strong shock to him.
And before this, Lu Youming was the most formidable person he had met. Unexpectedly, the one who once again shattered his perceptions was his sister.
"Fourth Brother, are you going home tonight?" Lu Sheng asked.
"You?" Lu Youming paused and glanced at her.
"It’s probably scary for that girl to stay alone in the apartment tonight, so I’ll sleep here," Lu Sheng said.
"I’ll go to Han Jing’s place," Lu Youming replied, "I haven’t told Big Brother I’m back in the country yet, I’ll be home tomorrow night."
"Okay." Lu Sheng nodded naturally.
Blood ties are a miraculous thing.
Integrated into one’s very bones and blood, they naturally evoke an inseparable bond.
Receiving news from his elder brother while abroad and learning that he suddenly had a half-sister he had never met, Lu Youming felt no ripples in his heart.
He always believed that relationships built on blood ties were the most meaningless. You didn’t even have a choice in the matter, yet you were forced to be bound to someone.
If you don’t want to be bound, you can only try to detach yourself — just like the Second Brother.
However, Lu Youming clearly understood that the distancing of Lu Siyan was not essentially due to coldness towards blood-tied affection. On the contrary, he actually longed for such ties.
It was just that the familial affection in a wealthy family wasn’t pure and sincere enough to provide the warmth he desired, which is why he kept his distance.
Beneath the cold and proud protective shell was a vacant and soft heart. His nature was cold outside but warm inside, and tender-hearted.
But he was different.
His heart was as cold as his exterior, or at least, that was how Lu Youming had always seen himself.
He had never hoped to seek redemption from his family or others, or rather, he didn’t need redemption at all.
At the age of twelve, he had read through world-renowned books trying to find answers. Later, he realized that there is no such thing as a standard answer to life.
No one’s experience is universal, and the maxims of great men can’t solve everyone’s puzzles. All emotions of loneliness, pain, hesitance, and anxiety fundamentally stem from not being strong enough internally.
If the heart is strong enough, one will no longer feel pain from loneliness. Staying away from the crowd is to maintain clarity, not to escape.
He never felt that there was any fundamental difference between people who are bonded by blood and strangers.
However, at this moment, recalling everything he experienced with the girl tonight and what had just happened, looking into those dark pupils similar to his own, Lu Youming perhaps felt the magical aspect of blood ties.
Otherwise, he couldn’t find a reason for their tacit understanding.

After Han Jing and the others left, Lu Sheng walked back into the apartment alone.
Only then did she see that the girl she had brought back was not sitting on the sofa to rest, but was timidly curling up in the corner, hugging her knees. freēwēbnovel.com
"Why are you sitting on the ground?" Lu Sheng walked over and squatted down.
"I..." the girl looked embarrassed, "My dress is so dirty, and I haven’t had a bath in five days... I was afraid of dirtying the sofa."
"I’m sorry," Lu Sheng said with a hint of apology, "I should have arranged hot water for you to take a bath first before talking with my friend."
The girl immediately waved her hands: "No no no, I’m already very grateful that you brought me back! Thank you!"
Lu Sheng stretched out her hand to help her up: "Don’t mention it, I’ll fix the water heater in the bathroom for you, go take a bath first."
After adjusting the shower water temperature for the girl in the bathroom, Lu Sheng returned to the living room sofa, opened the food delivery app to buy some clothes.
This apartment was bought by her a few days ago.
Last time, to thank Lan Yu, she handmade twenty Icy Skin Pills.
