Chapter 114
W-Weird!
What was wrong with her?
Doing such perverted things...
Blushing, she threw the little bear back onto the bed, her pretty face so red it looked like it could bleed.
It was all Gu Ran's fault for infecting her...
Forcing herself to find comfort in this thought, Ye Zhenzhen barely managed to suppress the shame in her heart.
That lustful guy had been a bad influence on his older sister...
The young girl pursed her lips, staring at the little bear that used to belong to her.
Seeing it lying quietly on the bed right now made her feel a sudden wave of heat.
Bad, bad thing...
She slowly reached out, grabbing the little bear that was covered in Gu Ran's scent, and slowly tightened her grip.
Why was her little bear left in this weird place?
Take it away, take it away!
Feeling guilty, she hid the little bear behind her back and instinctively wanted to flee out the door, but a second later, she hesitated.
This little bear...
Her stupid younger brother had already asked for it. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for her to sneak it away now...
Hmph, this guy sneaked out of the house by himself without even telling his sister. Why should she care about him?
That's right. The well-behaved girl felt that as a younger brother, running away from home for a long time without telling his elders was already considered running away from home.
A hundred and eight ways to complain to Gu Xiangcheng flashed through her mind, but she rejected them all one by one.
Forget it, forget it.
The merciful and generous sister would spare his dog life for now.
After thinking about it, she stuffed the little bear back. But just as she turned around to continue cleaning the room, she turned back again.
Looking at the little bear's face, the previously charming and naive smile now looked incredibly cheeky.
Staying by a certain someone's side for too long really made it take on his shape...
Grumbling in her heart, she swung her delicate fists and punched the bear's face twice before her mood finally improved.
She turned around and continued to clean the room, her footsteps unconsciously becoming lighter.
...
...
Approaching evening, Gu Ran, who had finished selecting a site outside, strolled home leisurely.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ye Zhenzhen kneeling on the sofa, staring intently at the TV.
Her two small feet pointed outward, slightly curled up and wrapped in pure white cotton socks. He was stunned for a moment.
"Hmph~"
Noticing his return, the already absent-minded girl instantly perked up her ears.
But after waiting for a long time without seeing any movement from the guy, she gradually puffed out her cheeks.
With a soft snort that pulled Gu Ran's thoughts back to reality, she pursed her lips and said in a cold voice.
"Where did Young Master Gu go for a stroll?"
"Don't mention it. I took a walk around the university town. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I'm covered in sweat."
Gu Ran forced himself to look away, no longer looking at those cotton socks, let alone thinking about the beauty beneath them.
After casually replying, he continued before the girl could speak again.
"Anyway, I'm going to take a shower first."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Swallowing the words that had reached her lips, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at his retreating back as he walked towards the bathroom.
That jerk!
Only after Gu Ran entered the bathroom did she shift her gaze back to the TV.
Looking at the little figures on the screen, her originally curious heart just couldn't calm down now.
Click!
Turning off the TV, she got up from the sofa and wandered around the living room, occasionally looking for messy spots.
Even though she hadn't watched much TV growing up, she couldn't focus on it anyway.
Since she couldn't focus, why waste electricity?
The girl living under someone else's roof always remembered her status and didn't dare to overstep her bounds.
This was also why she was willing to clean Gu Ran's room and wash his clothes.
The smart girl once again found enough excuses for herself and comfortably continued to act like a nanny for her infuriating younger brother.
After wandering around, she didn't see any dirty spots in the house.
The house had been cleaned spotless by her. The girl couldn't help but put her hands behind her back and nod gently.
Click~
The bathroom door opened. Gu Ran walked out shirtless, holding a towel in one hand and drying his wet hair.
Hearing the noise, Ye Zhenzhen looked back and instantly blushed.
"Y-You, how could you..."
She reached out to cover her eyes, never expecting her stupid younger brother to actually have abs.
"What's the big fuss? Aren't I wearing clothes?"
Seeing her reaction, Gu Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, then reached out and tugged at his sports shorts.
"You!"
Hooligan...
Unable to reason with this blockhead, the shy girl stomped her foot on the floor, as if trampling a certain someone underfoot.
But thinking back to that fleeting glimpse just now, her mind was filled with the words V-line abs.
Unable to control her fingers, she stealthily opened a small gap between them.
The next second, her watery eyes met Gu Ran's pitch-black eyes.
The girl's pretty face slowly turned red...
"I-I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to cook..."
Dropping those words, the girl fled in panic.
Staring at her beautiful back, Gu Ran froze.
A moment later, a smile slowly appeared on his face. Then, drying his hair and humming a tune, he walked towards his room.
At this moment, he could no longer tell if he was an eighteen-year-old youth.
Or that thirty-something, good-for-nothing middle-aged man...
For a brief moment, he even felt as if his past life was nothing but a dream.
And now, his mindset was increasingly aligning with his eighteen-year-old self...
...
After changing his clothes, Gu Ran came to the kitchen and saw the aloof girl still struggling with the pot in front of her.
"W-Why are you here?"
Leaning against the doorframe, Gu Ran entered power-saving mode again.
As if this could relieve some of the fatigue of standing.
He didn't answer her question, but instead asked curiously, "Why did you stop watching TV?"
Hearing this, the girl who was stir-frying paused, then smiled. "There was nothing good to watch."
After she spoke, Gu Ran didn't answer for a moment.
For some reason, in that answer, all he felt was a pang of heartache for her.
After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and snatched the spatula from the girl's hand. "Let me do it. You go rest."
He didn't dare let this girl in the kitchen anymore, otherwise, he was afraid his kitchen would explode.
Pushed out of the kitchen, Ye Zhenzhen frowned slightly and couldn't help but pout her pink lips.
This guy...
Daring to look down on his older sister, I'll knock your head off!
Waving her delicate fist, she wrinkled her nose.
With great self-awareness, she turned and went to the bathroom to wash the clothes her lazy brother had changed out of.
Turning on the faucet, she filled the sink with water, soaked the clothes, and then looked up.
Looking at herself in the mirror, for some unknown reason.
She suddenly smiled, feeling a sense of gratification.
At the same time, Gu Ran in the kitchen also had an inexplicable smile on his lips.
...
Not long after, Gu Ran walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish.
Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Ye Zhenzhen, time to eat!"
The next second, a response came from the bathroom.
"Show some respect, call me Sister!"
...
...
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
