Chapter 104
The school gate was just like yesterday, packed with cars waiting to pick up the examinees.
However, there was a difference. More parents had shown up today, and some were even holding bouquets of flowers, waiting for their children to come out.
It was to celebrate the end of three years of hard studying, a joyous occasion for everyone.
The heavy stone hanging in their hearts had finally dropped, not just for the students, but for the parents as well.
However, among these parents, it seemed Lao Gu was nowhere to be found.
The siblings walked out of the school gate, and Gu Ran subconsciously looked around, but he still couldn't spot that familiar black Jetta.
Could it be...
He drove his black Jetta to a bar?!
"Looks like he's not bothering with us. Let's go, we'll walk home. We just finished our exams, too. What is the world coming to..."
He shrugged and started grumbling like an old woman.
"Uncle Gu has to work, you know. He picks you up and drops you off every day, and now you're complaining about him."
Hearing the younger brother beside her enter his chatterbox mode again, the cool and aloof girl rolled her eyes at him.
As she spoke, she casually pulled the hair tie from her head, letting her long, jet-black hair cascade down.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, but they still couldn't overshadow the beautiful figure before him.
Hearing this, Gu Ran curled his lips. "You're already starting to take an outsider's side..."
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen ignored him and walked straight ahead.
Taking an outsider's side?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt those words were wrong. She suddenly stopped, turned around, and kicked the guy behind her.
"What nonsense are you spouting! What do you mean taking an outsider's side?"
"Alright, alright, you're not taking an outsider's side, you're taking an insider's side. You're always on my side, okay?"
Feeling the charm of the pure white cotton sock, his chattering mouth was instantly sealed shut.
Gu Ran looked fully satisfied, speaking as if he were placating a girlfriend.
This guy...
Although he had yielded, she still felt that there was something weird about his words.
Also, being on his side, how did that count as taking an insider's side?
Wait, since when was she on his side?!
The cool girl grew angrier the more she thought about it, and immediately raised her foot to kick him again.
Still not satisfied, she reached out and grabbed her disobedient brother's ear, assuming the posture of an eldest sister acting as a mother.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran, are you trying to rebel? You even dare to set a trap for your older sister!"
"Step-sister!"
Forced into this ear-pulling scolding, Gu Ran would rather die than submit, strongly embodying the term of putting up a desperate struggle.
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
This brother was a lost cause. Out of his one hundred and twenty pounds of weight, one hundred and twenty-one pounds were pure rebellion!
"Even a step-sister is still your sister!"
"Little Ye Zhenzhen, let go of me right now!"
"Bah, no respect for your elders, you're turning the world upside down!"
Unable to contain her anger, the girl ground her teeth, opened her mouth, and bit down hard on his arm.
Instantly, a wolf-like howl echoed through the street...
...
...
"You... do you have any shame? What are you screaming and shouting for?"
After running down the entire street and escaping from that spot, Ye Zhenzhen finally stopped, her face flushed red as she reached up to tuck her messy hair behind her ear.
"Absurd! If a dog bit you, wouldn't you scream?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
This guy... is he absolutely determined to rebel today?!
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!!!"
Her almond-like eyes suddenly widened, a fierce glare in her beautiful eyes, instantly making him shrink his neck.
Reacting a moment later, Gu Ran really wanted to straighten his back and look directly into the girl's eyes.
But for some reason, he felt inexplicably guilty.
For a moment, he felt he was truly useless.
He had promised himself that after the college entrance exam, he would let this girl know what it meant to be the head of the household.
Yet now, with just one glare from Ye Zhenzhen, he lost all his temper.
Shaking with cold anger, when would they men finally be able to stand up for themselves!
Dark clouds hung in the sky, and a chilly wind blew from all directions, but it still couldn't stop their enthusiasm for bickering.
Just as they passed by a flower shop, Gu Ran suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What are you doing?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at him in confusion.
"Wait for me a second." Gu Ran didn't explain, walking straight into the flower shop.
The cool girl followed behind him curiously. As they entered the shop, an enthusiastic clerk came over to greet them.
In front of outsiders, she reverted to her appearance of an icy snow lotus.
She just stood there quietly, tall and graceful, silently watching Gu Ran as he carefully picked through the colorful bouquets.
What is this guy buying flowers for?
Could it be that he's taking advantage of the end of the college entrance exam to go confess his love to someone...
At the thought of this possibility, she instantly became a little nervous, but quickly realized it and felt she was being very strange.
He was going to confess, so why was she nervous?
It must be her sense of responsibility as an older sister acting up, worrying that her stupid brother would be deceived by a bad woman!
That must be it!!!
Unaware of what she was thinking, Gu Ran carefully selected and finally decided on a bouquet of pink lilies, handing it to the clerk.
"Wrap it up, please. Make it look nice."
"No problem."
The clerk quickly stepped forward to take it, then raised an eyebrow at him. "Handsome, your girlfriend is really pretty."
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
Having just finished her mental brainstorming, hearing these weird words instantly made her already sensitive nerves tense up again.
But before she could explain, Gu Ran spoke up first.
"Oh, you're mistaken. She's my newly adopted daughter. She just turned eighteen this year."
Clerk: "..."
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
"Gu 'Dog' Ran, if you go one day without a beating, you'll climb the roof and tear off the tiles, won't you!"
The humiliated and enraged sister stepped forward again, reaching out to pinch his soft flesh as she spoke through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, the clerk didn't dare to say another word, quickly finishing the packaging and sending this crazy couple out.
Watching their retreating figures, the clerk secretly shook her head.
Tsk, young people nowadays really know how to play around...
Walking out of the flower shop, they continued heading home.
Watching Gu Ran constantly fiddling with the bouquet in his hand, Ye Zhenzhen frequently glanced at him from the side, hesitating to speak.
He isn't actually going to confess his love, is he...
Feeling a wave of worry in her heart, she stayed silent for a long time. Just as she organized her words and was about to speak, her vision was suddenly covered by a splash of pink.
"Here, for you!"
"What is this..."
Tilting her head slightly, she saw Gu Ran behind the bouquet. She became a little hesitant, but her cheeks couldn't help but flush red.
This guy... actually had improper thoughts about her?
She was his older sister!
Even though she was a step-sister...
For a moment, Ye Zhenzhen's mind turned to mush, a complete tangled mess.
She had half a mind to refuse, but she didn't dare, or perhaps she couldn't bear to, or simply didn't want to.
Gu Ran held up the bouquet. Seeing the girl across from him hesitating to take it, he raised an eyebrow and said.
"What are you spacing out for? Take it."
"Ah? Oh, oh..."
Ye Zhenzhen froze for a second. Hearing his words, she absentmindedly reached out and took the bouquet. A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, making her blush and her heart race.
"No, you can't, I'm your sister..."
After taking the flowers, she was startled. How did they end up in her hands?
She wanted to quickly hand them back, but a little voice in her heart stopped her movements.
In the end, what actually came out was just a voice as quiet as a buzzing mosquito.
"What did you say?"
Hearing her buzzing, Gu Ran was a bit confused. He leaned in closer and asked in puzzlement.
Seeing him suddenly step forward, the girl quickly took a step back, blushing as she defended herself: "N-nothing, I didn't say anything..."
"W-why... why did you suddenly give me flowers?" After a moment of silence, under Gu Ran's strange gaze, she stammered.
As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head, not daring to meet Gu Ran's eyes again, terrified of hearing something horrifying...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one."
