Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me - Chapter 121
Chu Muxi felt ashamed of being caught. Before, he was angry with Lu Junzhi because of his relationship with a mermaid.
Now, in front of Lu Junzhi, he blushed at the sound of other men’s voices.
For a moment, huge shame enveloped his whole body, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Lu Junzhi waited for a while and saw Chu Muxi just lowered his head, neither speaking nor moving.
“Muxi? What’s wrong?”
Chu Muxi was still silent, but his shoulders were slumped.
Lu Junzhi hurriedly pressed his shoulder with one hand and lifted his chin with the other. “You… what’s wrong with you?”
When Chu Muxi looked up, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
“Am I terrible?” Chu Muxi said in frustration.
Lu Junzhi touched his hair and said softly, “Why do you say that? You are very good, very good.”
“But just now, when I heard the strange man’s voice, I felt strange…” He blushed, “It’s also hot.”
Chu Muxi felt a little aggrieved; he was obviously not that kind of lustful person.
Lu Junzhi coughed lightly. He originally just wanted to tease him, but he almost lost it.
“It’s none of your fault. That’s the unique ability of their clan. Most people will have this reaction when they hear their voices for the first time,” Lu Junzhi reassured him by telling the truth.
Chu Muxi blinked, “Their clan? Could it be the people who were talking to you just now are from the mermaid clan, uh, fish?”
Chu Muxi was a little confused for a moment whether he should say humans or fish.
Lu Junzhi said amusingly, “Yes, it was my fault for not reminding you earlier. That guy did it on purpose. Under normal circumstances, they can choose not to use this ability, but when he heard that I was with you-”
Chu Muxi looked at Lu Junzhi. His focus was not “Why did that person do this on purpose?” but “Lu Junzhi’s tone was so familiar when he mentioned him.”
It made him a little unhappy.
Even the previous shame and grievances were immediately forgotten.
“Who is he?! Tell me clearly quickly!” Chu Muxi said fiercely.
Lu Junzhi chuckled lightly and pinched the tip of his nose. “Weren’t you still sad just now? Why are you so fierce now?”
“Don’t change the subject…” Chu Muxi’s eyelashes trembled slightly and were still a little wet. “It will make me feel at ease if you make it clear.”
“Well, okay.” Lu Junzhi hugged him, “He is indeed a special mermaid who can survive on land. He is now in my deep space fleet, but I won’t tell you for the time being. When you get there, you can find him yourself.”
Chu Muxi blinked, “Then how did he enter the army? Is it the identity you gave him?”
“It was me. When there was a war between the Empire and the Alliance, I went to the front line. One time I was accidentally ambushed. He happened to be there and saved me,” Lu Junzhi slowly told him.
Although it was just a few words, Chu Muxi was frightened when he heard it.
What about that time? When the Alliance went to war with the Empire, Lu Junzhi seemed to be about the same age as he was now and he went to the front line.
Why was he ambushed? Did someone betray him?
He remembered when Lu Junzhi first rose to prominence in the army, many people were jealous.
There were those who wanted the Empire to win that battle.
But there were still people who wanted the empire to lose. Those who wanted the empire to lose naturally find Lu Junzhi annoying.
Zhao Lei had told him in private that since Lu Junzhi entered the army, he had encountered various betrayals, ambushes, and assassinations, no less than hundreds of times.
When he thought of this, he felt a pain in his heart.
