1382 This Was Love!
Li Shiyu saw everything. He felt his heart hurting for Luo Chao. He interacted with Luo Chao for a long time, so he knew she was working so hard for Boss Lan’s sake.
Luo Chao didn’t want to be left too far behind by Boss Lan. She wanted to catch up with him and stand beside him.
This was probably what love was!
Li Shiyu didn’t really know anything about love, since he placed all his focus in his medical research, so he never really had the time to experience love before. However, after learning Luo Chao’s feelings towards Boss Lan, Li Shiyu felt that her actions could only be explained by love (actually, Luo Chao just wanted to catch up to her idol).
Unfortunately, the man Luo Chao loved wasn’t someone who would prioritise his family! Boss Lan’s heart was too big for just his family. He fitted too many people inside his heart, leaving the space for Luo Chao almost negligible.
Boss Lan was definitely a good boss and a good brother. Li Shiyu acknowledged Boss in those aspects wholeheartedly. However, looking from Luo Chao’s point of view, Boss Lan wasn’t a qualified lover or fiancée.
However, this was all Luo Chao and Boss Lan’s personal matter, while he was just a bystander. He didn’t have any right to decide whether they were qualified to be together.
Oh, he needed to talk about his little sister, Xuya, too. This was their matter. Although he couldn’t say anything about their relationship, he could still have his own opinion about it. In his opinion, Boss Lan was a bad lover and a bad fiance.
He felt pity for Luo Chao, so maybe because of this feeling that he started to take notice of Luo Chao. Unconsciously, he started doting Luo Chao as though she was his blood-related little sister. He hoped that Boss Lan wouldn’t let down such a good young lady. He didn’t want to see his beloved little sister getting hurt or cry because of love.
If that day really came, he hoped that he would be able to provide Luo Chao with a sturdy shoulder to cry on.
Thus, when he heard that Luo Chao wanted to lead the Jialan Ship to reinforce Boss Lan, so as someone who was worried that she would get hurt, he decisively moved his surgery room onto the Jialan Ship.
Of course, this was only a small part of the reason. Most importantly, he was worried about Boss Lan. When Boss Lan left, he didn’t bring many bottles of medicinal agents with him. Li Shiyu was afraid that without him, based on how Boss Lan always disregarded his safety when he was fighting, Boss Lan would be severely injured. He was really afraid of this.
Still, he didn’t expect the first night at the Lawless Lands to be so dangerous. If the reinforcements didn’t come in time, if there wasn’t a Dr. Frankenstein like him stationed here, a lot of soldiers would have died.
As the captain of the Jialan Ship, Luo Chao had a torturous night. Luckily, she managed to pull through it.
Li Shiyu’s gaze landed on Luo Chao’s furrowed brows. She was frowning even in her sleep. Ever since Boss disappeared during the battle with Twilight, Luo Chao’s brows had never relaxed. Li Shiyu was worried about Luo Chao’s state of mind.
Impulsively, Li Shiyu raised his right hand and massaged Luo Chao’s brows lightly. He wanted to straighten the creases on her forehead.
His little sister Luo Chao was most beautiful when she was smiling.
Suddenly, Luo Chao opened her eyes with vigilance when she felt someone touching her forehead.
Li Shiyu retracted his hand in shock. He looked at Luo Chao, who opened her eyes, with a gaping mouth. He didn’t know what to say suddenly.
“Brother Shiyu?” Luo Chao looked at Li Shiyu in surprise. She didn’t understand why he looked so scared.
Luo Chao sat up, causing the blanket covering her body to slide down. Instinctively, she lowered her head and pulled it up. When she saw the blanket, she knew that Li Shiyu must be the one who placed it over her. She looked up and said gratefully, “Brother Shiyu, thank you for the blanket.”
Li Shiyu finally regained his senses. He said seriously, “Don’t sleep like that in the future. The temperature here is a little low. It is easy to catch a cold here, especially when you’re so tired.”
“I understand, Brother Shiyu,” Luo Chao replied obediently. She knew that Li Shiyu reprimanded her because he was concerned about her, so she accepted it readily.
“Luckily, you’re alright.” Li Shiyu suddenly turned to walk into his room. After some time, he came out carrying a leather suitcase.
“Brother Shiyu, where are you going?” Luo Chao asked sternly. They just fended off the thieves. It wasn’t safe to go out now.
“I am going to see Boss Lan,” Li Shiyu replied calmly.
“Why? Didn’t Boss say he would come and find us?” Luo Chao asked in confusion.
“Boss sent everyone out yesterday, why do you think he did that?” Li Shiyu asked Luo Chao instead of replying to her.
Luo Chao started thinking seriously. After a moment, her pupils dilated in fear. “Boss is fighting too?”
“Do you think that they will only mess with us?” Li Shiyu sneered. “If they wanted to uproot us, they definitely would not let Boss go.”
“Why didn’t you say earlier? I’ll call people over immediately,” Luo Chao jumped up and said agitatedly.
“This is not the right time for them to go over,” Li Shiyu replied in a composed manner.
“Why?” Luo Chao didn’t understand what Li Shiyu meant. Shouldn’t they send help to Boss as soon as possible?
“Boss’s fight isn’t something people like us can take part in. He sent everyone here probably because he was afraid that his fight would implicate us. He is concerned about our safety.” Li Shiyu’s mind was as clear as day. As someone who was once an inheritor of the Li family, he had been groomed to become a family head ever since he was young, so his thought process was smooth and based on reason. If there wasn’t already a better choice, the Li family would never bear to let Li Shiyu walk on the medical path.
“I’m just worried that Boss might be injured and that he doesn’t have enough medical agents with him. If he doesn’t get the agents in time, it may affect his health in the future.” Li Shiyu explained why he wanted to leave now. The thieves came and left quickly, so there was a huge possibility that Boss won his fight.
“I understand, but I want to go too.” Luo Chao hurriedly caught up with him.
“If you leave, what will happen to the Jialan Ship?” Li Shiyu understood that Luo Chao was worried about her fiance but as the captain of the Jialan Ship, it wasn’t right for her to leave.
“It’s alright. My brother is here.” Luo Chao gave a naughty smile.
“Huh?” Li Shiyu was puzzled. What did this have to do with Luo Lang?
Luo Chao pouted. “Hmph, my brother always asks me to pretend to be him. This time, he can pretend to be me.”
“Huh?” This time, Li Shiyu was stunned.
“Let’s go, Brother Shiyu. I’ve already told Jialan to inform my brother.” Luo Chao hooked Li Shiyu’s arm and smiled at him sweetly.
“I see. You’re Luo Lang now.” Li Shiyu understood her intention now. Luo Chao would return to the rainbow palace as Luo Lang. Fine, this could be a way for Luo Lang to compensate his little sister after years of not taking care of her and leaving her without a care in the world. Li Shiyu abandoned the poor Luo Lang decisively.
Thus, ‘Luo Lang’, Ji Ming, Yu Shangfei, Tang Ningyu, Mu Chaoran, Li Shiyu, and Han Xuya brought a portion of the servants from the rainbow palace back.
Lord Gen’s guardians were with them so their journey back to the rainbow palace was very peaceful. No insensible people came out to block them or create trouble for them.
