Chapter 878 Is Something Wrong With Them?
"Everything is fine but that angry young man inside. Who would like to date him?" Noah sighed.
"You don't need to worry as you won't be the one," Jake retorted.
"I like only pretty and delicate girls, so don't keep your hopes up," Noah countered.
Jake was about to cut the call, but Lu Lijun got the cellphone from Noah and spoke before Jake could do it.
"How are you Jake?" Lu Lijun aksed.
Seeing Lu Lijun, Jake calmed down, "I am good. How are you doing? Are you set there?" Jake asked as Lu Lijun went away from others.
"See, how nicely he talks to Lijun and treats me like I am his sworn enemy," Noah commented.
"I don't think so. Sometimes we fight with the people who are more important to us," said Jiang Yang.
Noah laughed, "That can't be. He can't digest food unless he curses me once in a while."
An Tian patted Noah's shoulder, "Would you like to help with cooking?"
"Sure."
As these people got busy cooking, Lu Lijun sat on the sofa.
"Seems like you are missing someone," Lu Lijun commented.
"My ass," came the annoyed reply.
"I thought you must miss your brother and would come to see him," Lu Lijun added as he smiled.
Jake sighed, "Lijun."
"Hmm!"
"You are always so silent, but how you talk like this when it comes to me. Instead, have you talked to someone else who you should?" Jake asked.
Lu Lijun suddenly turned silent but got hold of himself the next moment, "Entire family is here, so, it's given."
"I see."
Both continued talking, and Noah frowned.
"Those love birds. I should just abandon them and join you three."
"You might like to join someone else," An Tian teased again.
"If you know pretty girls, then I am always ready," Noah said.
"These three reminds me of our days," said Jiang Yang, and the other two nodded.
As Jake talked, suddenly someone called him. "We are leaving, Jake."
"I have to go. Talk to you later, Lijun."
"Hmm." Lu Lijun was about to cut the call just then there was a noise inside the home.
Lu Lijun got up and looked at the kitchen platform where Noah almost burned his hand as the pot of hot water tilted when he tried to lift it up.
"Are you okay, Noah? An Tian asked as he held Noah's hand under the sink water while the other two waited to see if he was fine.
"I am fine," Noah answered, but An Tian spoke, "Your skin burnt. Let's apply ointment so it won't be bad."
"What happened," Jake asked worriedly.
"I think Noah burnt his hand," Lu Lijun replied as he stepped towards the kitchen platform.
"That idiot. Can't even do anything properly."
Noah and others heard it as the phone was on speaker during the video call.
"At least, I am better than you, Jake," Noah said.
Lu Lijun turned the phone camera towards Noah so that Jake could see him. Jake saw An Tian holding Noah's hand under the water as Noah looked in pain.
Jake stayed silent, seeing him in pain, but Noah tried to act normal as if it was Nothing.
Someone again called Jake, "Jake, make it faster."
"You go ahead," Jake said as he didn't hang up the call.
Jake continued looking Everything through the camera and felt bad for his friend, who he cursed a while ago. Fighting over small things was fine but seeing anyone of them hurt was not acceptable.
"Are you fine, Noah," Jake asked.
"I am not weak to cry over small things," Noah replied as An Tian applied the ointment, and Noah added, "You should go, or you will miss the chance to find your princes."
With these words, Jake hung up the call without even saying bye, and the atmosphere turned silent.
"Everything is almost ready. Should we eat if you are fine, Noah?" Lu Feng broke the silence
"I am fine," Noah replied.
Lu Lijun helped them to arrange everything on the dining table as they asked Noah to just sit in the chair.
When Lu Lijun and Noah were away, Jiang Yang asked, "Is there something wrong with these three?"
"Nothing much. Let's eat first," An Tian instructed as it was not the right time to discuss it.
"Everything looks so delicious," said Jiang Yang.
"Hmm, after all, it's made by the most handsome men in the world," An Tian replied as he looked at Lu Lijun, "Am I right?"
Lu Lijun nodded, "Hmm!"
"Don't expect him to talk much. He talks only when Jake is with him," Noah commented.
"It's not true," Lu Lijun countered.
"Okay, first, let's finish eating. Later on, we have to finish the holy water I just bought," Jiang Yang interrupted them.
They had dinner, and An Tian informed, "Let's go upstairs. We can use the terrace for drinking."
They went to the spacious terrace on the first floor, where they sat in the chairs around the stone center platform.
"After so long, we are together like this," Lu Feng spoke.
"What can I say when one of my friends is a busy CEO, and the other one is a crazy surgeon," commenting, An Tian passed the beer bottles to everyone except for Lu Lijun, who he gave one regular cold drink bottle.
"Don't tell me, you can't drink," Jiang Yang asked, and Lu Lijun replied, "I can't."
"A little?"
Before Lu Lijun could reply, Noah spoke, "He will faint in a while with just a little.
Jiang Yang sighed, "Lu Qiang was bad, but you seem even worse."
With this, the four people turned silent while Noah looked at them to know what happened suddenly.
"As we call him an upgraded version of Lu Qiang, how can he miss getting this from him?? Lu Feng broke the silence.
"Was the elder brother the same?" Lu Lijun asked.
Lu Feng nodded. "Hmm."
Noah cleared his throat, "Is there something that I should or should not know?"
"He was my elder brother who died in the accident just before I came to England," Lu Lijun replied, and Noah didn't ask anything further, seeing how serious everyone looked.
