Chapter 51 Sleeping Beauty Lu Li

“The matter is finally settled.”

Lu Li picked up a hemp rope, tied up both the fainted old man and the masked guy, then stretched lazily.

Fortunately, he had activated the dating game at the critical moment, taken over Chu Zining’s body, and caught the old man completely off guard.

Otherwise, things would really have turned dangerous.

“S-second personality?” At that moment, Chu Zining’s timid voice echoed in Lu Li’s mind.

Just now, Chu Zining had felt her body suddenly slip out of her control, and in the next second it “took the initiative” to give the old man a flurry of punches, leaving her dumbfounded.

Lu Li chuckled and said as though asking for credit, “Well, the moment I sensed you were in danger I showed up, didn’t I get here in time?”

Chu Zining was overjoyed. “Mm-hm, you’re so skilled! I really owe you this time!”

Then her tone carried a trace of grievance. “You disappeared so suddenly yesterday, I thought you were gone.”

“Ahem, once you were safe, it wouldn’t have been proper for me to appear again…” Lu Li cleared his throat, recalled how Chu Zining had still tried to move even with a gun to her head, and scolded, “Someone pointed a gun at you and you still dared to move around… aren’t you afraid of dying?”

“Of course I’m afraid,” Chu Zining answered weakly, “but if I had taken the gun, Lu Li wouldn’t have been in danger.”

Lu Li frowned. “Idiot! A gun was pressed to the back of your head… how were you going to grab it? Didn’t you think he could blow your head off with one shot?”

Chu Zining spoke as though it were only natural. “I did think of that, mm, but Lu Li moves very fast; I’ve seen him, he’s as strong as you! I believe he could subdue the bad guy before a second shot.”

“But you’d already be dead by then! If you’re dead, why worry about others? Did you never think about yourself?”

“But, but… I can’t let anything happen to him.” After a long silence, Chu Zining said in a small, aggrieved voice.

Lu Li froze, then muttered under his breath with disdain, “Idiot.”

He tapped the top of his own head with a light karate-chop.

Even though Lu Li now controlled Chu Zining’s body, she had not lost the senses of that body.

“Ugh!” Struck by Lu Li, Chu Zining reflexively wanted to cover her head, then realized she could not move and gave up.

After that chop, Chu Zining complained, “Y-you like to karate-chop people too?”

The force and the angle were almost identical, as if the same person had done it…

The same person?

Huh?

Huh-huh?

This second personality’s martial arts were impressive, just as strong as his!

They are so alike!

Could it be… they…

A wild idea quietly sprouted in Chu Zining’s mind.

Lu Li’s movements stiffened; because his sister was a little brat, he had chopped her with his hand countless times, so the move was etched into his genes and had come out subconsciously.

He must never let Chu Zining know that he was her second personality; if this little girl rejected him entering her body, how could he continue farming check-in rewards?

“I…” Lu Li’s pupils shrank, yet he quickly calmed down and countered, “Who else likes to karate-chop people?”

“Who else…” Being asked that way, Chu Zining overturned her flight of fancy.

Yes, having a second personality was already absurd; if Lu Li could enter my body, that would be even more absurd… Chu Zining thought to herself.

So that chop just now must have been coincidence.

“Another person who likes to chop is Lu Li…” No sooner had she finished than she gave a little cry, panicking, “Why isn’t Lu Li moving? Did something happen? Check on him, quick!”

Lu Li nodded, propped up his own body, whose eyes were closed and breathing even, and saw that he was sleeping like a baby.

It was his first time observing himself from another angle, and an odd feeling rose in his heart.

Tsk, I’m so handsome; I even want to marry myself… The more Lu Li looked at his face, the more satisfied he felt.

He figured that if he practiced singing, dancing, and rap for 2.5 years, he could definitely debut as an idol.

“Why did he pass out? Is he okay? Could he be hurt? Hurry and check his body…” Chu Zining asked anxiously.

Hearing the panic in her voice, Lu Li snorted and asked, “Why are you so nervous about him? What’s your relationship with him?”

“N-no relationship,” Chu Zining explained, “he’s my classmate, he has helped me a lot, so I want to help him.”

Mm-hm, it seems this second personality really has nothing to do with Lu Li, otherwise he wouldn’t ask that… Chu Zining completely dismissed her previous speculation.

Lu Li casually checked himself and pouted. “Relax, he’s fine, not injured; he probably fainted from fright.”

“Fainted from fright? Impossible, Lu Li isn’t that timid.” Chu Zining clearly didn’t buy it.

“Faces are deceiving; how do you know he’s not timid? Maybe this Lu Li is despicable, lecherous, a total hypocrite who spends his time staring at girls’ legs!”

Rarely, Chu Zining got angry. “He’s not like that! I won’t let you talk about him that way! If you say that again, I… I won’t speak to you!”

Lu Li chuckled softly. “All right, all right, I was talking nonsense. Then why did he suddenly faint? Oh, I know!”

Chu Zining quickly asked, “Mm?”

Lu Li said solemnly, “He must be under a witch’s curse, like Sleeping Beauty, and only a prince’s kiss can break it!”

“Ah?” Chu Zining was startled.

Lu Li went on, “He’s a boy, so he doesn’t need a prince; how about we find a girl to kiss him and try it out?”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Li clapped his hands. “Tsk, there aren’t any girls around, why don’t we sacrifice ourselves? He’s so handsome, kissing him wouldn’t be a loss.”

As Lu Li spoke, he bent down.

Chu Zining was so embarrassed her head was about to smoke. “N-no! Stop! How can you be so forward… d-don’t kiss him! It’s too rude!”

“Really not going to kiss? He’s so handsome, surely loads of girls are after him; miss this chance and you’ll regret it.” Like a devil, Lu Li whispered temptation into her ear.

Chu Zining’s mind was in chaos. “S-stop talking. W-we should take him to the hospital for a check-up.”

“What a pity; you’re so timid. If I were the primary personality, I’d tie this cutie to the bed, claim him as mine, spoil him by day and party with him at night.”

“Ugh, how can you say that…” Imagining the scene Lu Li described, Chu Zining felt her heart was about to jump out.

Lu Li had only been teasing her; sensing that her emotions were about to explode, he shut up at once.

He picked up the suitcase with one hand, shouldered his own body with the other, and headed toward the restaurant door.

It was time to wrap things up and go home.

…

After hearing the gunshot, Jiang Chaoyun and the other officers raised their pistols at Good Flavor, ready to shoot the suspect the second he stepped out.

While their nerves were stretched tight, the door of Good Flavor slowly swung open…
