Chapter 430 Brothers

Zheng Xun talked about his experience in the White Tower from day to night.

No matter how he explained it or how many times he said it, Zheng Lin couldn't believe him.

What time travel.

What a white tower.

Zheng Lin's only belief is science.

Zheng Xun's mouth was dry as he spoke, and there was no way to convince his brother that what he was telling the truth was true.

Zheng Lin also found it hard to believe.

"Zheng Xun, you work too much overtime and you are hallucinating."

"Brother, I..."

Zheng Xun found that he could not deny Zheng Lin's words. He had indeed been working overtime every day.

"I have always disagreed with you going to work at such a young age. Wouldn't it be better to stay in school and continue studying?"

Zheng Lin poured himself a cup of coffee. Zheng Xun wrinkled his nose. The smell made him uncomfortable.

It's strange, even if he doesn't like drinking coffee, he shouldn't hate the aroma of coffee.

Ms. Zheng curled up at Zheng Lin's feet, rubbing his legs dependently. Zheng Lin used the toe of his slipper to gently push it away. Only Zheng Xun likes these furry creatures. He only loves them and can take care of them, but he doesn't like them.

Ms. Zheng felt wronged and ran to Zheng Xun's side, whining. Zheng Xun held it in his arms and smoothed its tangled hair.

"Speaking of work, by the way, what day is it today? I should go to work! I still have a lot of work to do!"

Zheng Xun wanted to go to the company as soon as he thought about it.

Zheng Lin asked him to sit back.

"I've asked for a month's sick leave for you. You can rest at home honestly during this month and don't cause any trouble to your brother."

"What does it mean to cause trouble... If I don't go to work, what will happen to my food expenses? What will happen to my rent?"

Zheng Xun said that he was a pauper and was a little reluctant to part with his high-paying job.

Zheng Lin hooked his index finger on the handle of the coffee cup, picked it up and took a sip before putting it back.

"What's the use of your cheap job? I told you, your income as a full-time brother at home will be far more than that of your morning-to-night job."

"..."

Zheng Xun wanted to argue for himself, but he found that Zheng Lin's proposal was too convincing.

He couldn't even refute it.

Seeing his brother's depressed expression, Zheng Lin had a smile in his eyes.

"Have a good rest. It's too late today. I'll stay with you and go back to school tomorrow morning."

Zheng Lin poured away the rest of the coffee and made a unilateral decision.

Zheng Xun immediately raised his upper body and shouted.

"Brother, you can't live here for free! You have to pay rent!"

"Don't yell, the money is yours."

The house Zheng Xun rents has two bedrooms. Zheng Lin usually sleeps in the other room when he comes to his house for business.

The relationship between their brothers is very good. Although Zheng Lin was venomous, he responded to Zheng Xun's requests.

"Obviously he was quite gentle to me when I was young..."

Zheng Xun took a shower, changed into pajamas, and returned to the room with his cat in his arms.

Finally he was left alone again. Zheng Xun leaned on the bedside and gathered his thoughts.

Just now, while Zheng Lin was returning to his room, he searched around his house and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Just like Zheng Lin said, one day he worked overtime too late and pushed himself to the point of fainting. Colleagues sent him to the hospital. He stayed in the hospital for two days, but he didn't want to stay any longer and went home directly.

After confirming that he was fine, he sent a message to Zheng Lin who was on a business trip out of town. Zheng Lin called him in the middle of the night and asked Zheng Xun why he told him such a big thing.

Zheng Lin was so worried that he bought the earliest ticket overnight and returned to the city where Zheng Xun was. This is what happened today.

Perhaps because his parents died young, Zheng Lin and Zheng Xun depended on each other for life. Zheng Lin was always nervous about his only brother, fearing that something would happen to him.

Zheng Xun felt that his brother was too worried. He was an adult and could be responsible for his own life.

Zheng Xun was talking nonsense during the day, but Zheng Lin didn't believe a word he said.

He also asked Zheng Xun.

"If I follow your account, you have spent more than a year in the so-called White Tower World. But Zheng Xun, look at the current calendar. It has only been three days since you fainted and died in the company."

Zheng Xun tried to struggle.

"What if the time flow rates in the two worlds are inconsistent? This situation is not impossible."

"Zheng Xun, if you want others to believe you, you have to provide conclusive evidence." Zheng Lin waved his hand and refused to listen to his brother's untenable sophistry. "I will only believe you when I see the evidence."

Zheng Lin said so, so Zheng Xun searched for evidence for a long time after he returned to his room.

He first searched his home and found nothing unusual.

Then, he opened his laptop, opened the browser, and entered a few keywords.

He entered "White Tower" first.

There were only some pure white tower-like buildings, no special entries at all, and there was no very post-modern architectural style in his impression.

Then, Zheng Xun entered the names of Cheng Jie, Zhao Ran and other players.

There are people with the same name and surname, but they are not them, and their age and appearance do not match.

He searched himself again.

Well, there aren’t as many entries as Cheng Jie’s.

"Is it really just a dream..."

Zheng Xun sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at the screen, and muttered something softly.

Those thrilling dungeon scenes, the strange but extremely loyal subordinates, as well as guilds, professional players, players, fans...

None of this existed in his life.

Everything was back on track, but Zheng Xun always felt empty in his heart.

He fell on the bed with his head up, staring at the exquisite ceiling.

Ms. Zheng, the little fat girl, insisted on pressing on his chest, almost breaking his ribs.

He quickly asked this ancestor to come down, and Ms. Zheng meowed in dissatisfaction. Zheng Xun wrapped its round body with a quilt.

As long as he did this, no more than three times, Ms. Zheng would fall asleep.

His cat was lying next to the pillow and snoring. The sound was quite hypnotic, and Zheng Xun's eyelids began to feel heavy.

Let's think about these annoying things tomorrow...

Zheng Xun closed his eyes completely and fell asleep.

Separated by a wall.

Zheng Lin was reading a document. The wall was not soundproof, and he could hear all the sounds of Zheng Xun climbing up and down.

Until now, the next door has finally quieted down. The sound of Zheng Lin typing on the keyboard also stopped for a few seconds.

He raised his eyes, looking over the top of the laptop, staring at the blank wall.

On the other side of the wall, Zheng Xun was heartless and sleeping soundly.

Zheng Lin kept this posture, silent for three minutes, then lowered his head and continued his work.

The next day, when Zheng Xun got up, Zheng Lin had left the breakfast and had taken a taxi.

There were ten more messages on his phone, all from his brother.

: Breakfast is on the table.

: If you get up before eight o'clock, you don't need to heat it up. If you get up after eight o'clock, put them in the microwave to heat them up.

: I put this month's pocket money under the placemat, take it yourself.

: I have to teach students these two days, very busy, come to see you in two days.

: You stay at home and don't walk around. There will be rain and snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the weather will be bad.

: The food is in the refrigerator, tell me after you finish eating.

: It is forbidden to go to work in the company.

: Your boss and colleagues won't contact you, so don't contact them either, and don't give yourself too much work.

: Call me if you have something to do.

: I'll send you a message, reply a few more sentences.

Zheng Lin can arrange everything in an orderly manner, and living with him doesn't require any brains at all.

Zheng Xun is used to his various arrangements, and doesn't think his brother is too controlling. Even after reading the last sentence, he feels that Zheng Lin, who is waiting for his message, is pitiful.

He didn't get up until ten o'clock, but he didn't heat up his breakfast. He ate directly and sent messages to Zheng Lin while eating.

: I know.

: Brother.

Two sentences.

Zheng Lin replied quickly, and sent a string of ellipsis to Zheng Xun.

: ...

: Didn't you heat up your breakfast?

Zheng Xun, who was drinking porridge, choked. His brother was simply a living surveillance camera. No matter what he did, he would be discovered by him.
