《Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother (6)》Chapter 1081: something strange
Advertisement
for several days in a row, lu yinxi was immersed in the good mood of receiving christmas grandpa's gift.
lu yinxi had thought that she would do well in the monthly test this time.
it was a friday, and she didn't have to go to school the next day. lu yinxi wasn't in a hurry to take a shower either. after eating, she planned to read some extracurricular books before taking a shower and going to bed. she locked herself in her room and read the magazine books she had borrowed from the school library.
lu jingjing wanted to borrow a pen from her, but she came in without knocking. this was her home, after all, and she was used to not knocking.
when she entered the door and saw that lu yinxi seemed to be frightened, she felt regretful. lu jingjing quickly apologized and said, " i forgot, i forgot. i'll definitely knock on the door next time. "
!!
lu yinxi shook her head and said, " it's okay. " this was her home, and she was just a guest. she couldn't blame lu jingjing.
"is there something?" he asked. lu yinxi asked lu jingjing.
lu jingjing said, " my pen has no core. can you lend me a pen? "
"alright," he said.
lu yinxi opened her pencil case. the pen with her name on it was lying quietly in a separate compartment. lu yinxi found a black pen and gave it to lu jingjing.
"thank you,"
lu jingjing took her pen and was about to leave when something flashed under the light. lu jingjing took a closer look and saw the glowing peach hair clip on lu yinxi's ear.
"wow, it's so beautiful!"
" can i take a look? " lu jingjing asked lu yinxi. after some hesitation, lu yinxi took off the hair clip and handed it to lu jingjing.

lu jingjing touched it with her hand and then pinned it on her head without saying a word. lu jingjing was also pretty, and she looked even better with the hair clip on.
"i also look good in it." she said.
lu yinxi looked at her. the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile, but her heart was not calm. she clenched her fists tightly. she was very nervous, afraid that lu jingjing's next words would be, " "i really like the hair clip. yinxi, give it to me."
if lu jingjing had really made this request, lu yinxi really wouldn't have known how to refuse.
to be honest, lu jingjing treated her pretty well. she lived in their house and wore clothes that she didn't want. no matter how he looked at it, he owed her too much. if lu jingjing wanted a hair clip, lu yinxi really had no right to refuse.
but that was a gift from santa claus and she couldn't bear to give it up.
lu jingjing held the hair clip and smiled at lu yinxi.
in fact, she was tempted. she really wanted to ask lu yinxi for the hair clip. she knew that lu yinxi was easy to talk to. as long as she asked, lu yinxi would definitely agree.
but lu jingjing hated that side of her.
if she liked it, she could earn money to buy it herself in the future.
"it's very pretty. you look even better in it." lu jingjing handed the hair clip to lu yinxi.
lu yinxi's tense body suddenly relaxed.
lu yinxi put the hair clip back on her head. lu jingjing looked at the hair clip on her head and then at the fountain pen in her pencil case. she thought of something and teased her with a smile. " i say, yinxi, who do you think this santa claus is? "

lu yinxi couldn't focus on her book anymore.
her mind was filled with santa claus.
lu jingjing said, " i say, don't tell me that there's a boy who has a crush on you? "
at the age of fourteen, he had already reached the age of first awakening to love. hearing this, lu yinxi felt particularly embarrassed. she blushed at first, then shook her head seriously to deny this guess.
"that's impossible. it's been four years since i received his gift. do you think there would be a boy who liked me when i was ten years old?" that's too small. this guess is not valid.
lu jingjing also found it funny.
"he's a good person, anyway."
"yes, santa claus."
lu jingjing and lu yinxi didn't have much to talk about. lu jingjing thanked her again before leaving the room with her pen.
lu yinxi finished half of the magazine. it was already 11 o 'clock.
she quickly put down the magazine and got up to go to the balcony to collect a clean change of clothes, planning to take a shower.
after taking a shower, lu yinxi wiped her body. when she put on her clothes, she realized that there was something dirty on her pants, which should have been clean.
lu yinxi stared at the dirty thing. she felt uneasy and frowned.
what was this?
lu yinxi put on her pajama pants haphazardly. she went back to her room to find a pair of clean underwear to wear and threw the dirty pants into the trash can.
busy with her studies, lu yinxi quickly forgot about this little episode.
just like that, they lived in peace for a few days. on the afternoon after the mid-term exams, the school holiday was brought forward, and lu yinxi returned home.
there were no classes that afternoon, and there would be a holiday the next day. lu yinxi planned to distribute flyers for her part-time job in the afternoon.
he could earn 60 yuan by giving out flyers for half a day.
lu yinxi packed her clothes and took a shower. before she put on her clothes, she realized that her pants were dirty again.
it was even dirtier than the last time.
lu yinxi vaguely understood what it was.
lu zhongyi was the only man in the family.
lu yinxi threw the things into the trash can. she didn't want to stay in this house any longer, so she took her bag and got ready to go out.
just as she was about to leave, the door of the master bedroom suddenly opened.
lu zhongyang came out and saw that lu yinxi was going out. " yinxi, are you going out? " he asked.
"yes, second uncle, didn't you go to work today?" after the freight company closed down, lu zhongyi found a job at a construction site. the salary was not as good as his previous job, only five to six thousand yuan.
" mm. " lu zongye stretched his back and went to the kitchen in a pair of loose boxers. lu yinxi saw her second uncle open the refrigerator door, pour half a glass of ice water, and finish it in one gulp.
lu yinxi closed the door and took the elevator down in her white shoes.
lu yinxi's face was a little pale as she stood in the elevator.
when her chaotic and intense heartbeat calmed down, lu yinxi was shocked to realize that she had broken out in a cold sweat.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Code Reader Kagami (LitRPG)
Sometimes things happen in this world that we are not in control of. Sometimes we are to a certain degree, and sometimes we are completely in control. However, this is a tale that constantly questions those boundaries. The story follows Kagami, a young programmer, as he winds up in a world almost alien to him. If it were up to him, he would have never visited this world and would rather stay raising his young daughter. Was it through his own actions that he had wound up here? Was it due to several combinations of factors? Or was it something he completely chose. These are questions that constantly haunt Kagami’s mind as he wanders this world and ponders his actions. Unfortunately, the glaring truth of it all refuses to ever look him in the eyes. Each night as he looks up at the night sky, he wonders if the end of this would turn out like the game he made. A tale of Guts and Glory… or would it turn out like he fears, a tale of blood and tears. Regardless of how it turns out, he will one day unveil the truth enshrouding it all. And perhaps in doing so, unveil the fate of his old world, enshrouded by mystery. ___________________________________________________________________________ While this is a typical Isekai started by the infamous truck-kun, the story is most definitely not what is to be taken at face value. I love making tragic twists into these types of stories. For Code Reader Kagami, you'll begin to see a descent into psychological madness. As your hero changes entirely from the moral man he initially was. If you're not a fan of dark aspect stories, this one is not for you. Thank you~

The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land. Wizards, sorcerers and magicians still plied their trade, though much of their power had given way to the machinations of men and their war machines. To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS."
