Chapter Nineteen
"Well... you're growing up now, and having certain thoughts is inevitable. But you have to remember, Zhenzhen is your family now, your older sister..."
Before Gu Xiangcheng could finish, Gu Ran's face had already darkened like coal.
The more he listened, the more wrong it sounded, until he finally realized: his own father thought he was a pervert?!
Was this reasonable!?
"Dad! What are you talking about?"
Gu Ran gritted his teeth, his face full of indignation. If Ye Zhenzhen had actually moved in, and he went in to do some weird things, that would be one thing.
But she hadn't even arrived yet. The room was empty except for a bare bed frame and an empty wardrobe. What was he supposed to be doing weird things to?
The bed frame?
Realizing he might have misunderstood, Gu Xiangcheng felt a bit awkward, but he had genuinely harbored such concerns before.
Having been that age himself, he knew exactly what was going through a teenage boy's head, so naturally, he had to give his son a few words of caution.
He didn't want something to happen later that would make everyone lose face.
The mother and daughter moving in showed their trust in their family, and that trust absolutely could not be betrayed.
Gu Ran also understood Lao Gu's intentions, but understanding it didn't mean he wouldn't feel annoyed.
Anyone would be annoyed if they were suspected of doing something to a bare bed frame...
...
Ye Zhenzhen walked heavily on the road to school, her mind full of thoughts.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, spilling onto her like a soft, sheer veil, enveloping her figure in a radiant glow.
Her pure white long down jacket, her high ponytail, and her ever-present little white shoes all spoke of the girl's youth.
When she arrived at the school gates, she happened to run into the Gu father and son.
Seeing her, Gu Xiangcheng got out of the car and smiled at her amiably.
"Good morning, Uncle Gu."
"Ah, good morning. Have you eaten yet, Zhenzhen?"
"I have, Uncle."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded obediently in response, making Gu Xiangcheng feel extremely gratified, constantly fantasizing about how nice it would be if Gu Ran were a girl.
Thinking this, he turned his head and saw Gu Ran standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking aloof and totally at ease, forming a stark contrast with the well-behaved and sensible Ye Zhenzhen.
Whenever there is a comparison, there is damage.
"You brat, didn't you see your sister? Why aren't you saying hello?"
Gu Ran: "..."
Was it necessary to yell so loudly in front of everyone?
He wasn't deaf...
Seeing the strange looks cast their way from the surroundings, the corner of Gu Ran's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
If he were just an ordinary high school student, he would probably be dying of social embarrassment right now.
"Good morning, sister. You look so pretty today, sister. You have to study hard today too, sister..."
Forced to perform, Gu Ran greeted her with a helpless tone.
Pfft. Seeing Gu Ran's goofy behavior, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't maintain her aloof persona and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Her slender figure stood in the sunlight, a radiant smile hanging on her face, making Gu Ran momentarily captivated.
After laughing, she nodded somewhat shyly at Gu Xiangcheng, then shot Gu Ran a coquettish glare.
It was all this guy's fault; every time she saw him, her image got ruined.
However, a magnanimous older sister naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of a detestable younger brother. With a faint smile still visible on her lips, she spoke softly to Gu Ran.
"Morning, little brother Gu Ran."
As her words fell, she playfully blinked her eyes, looking very pleased to see Gu Ran deflated.
For some reason, this unapproachable flower on a high peak could never maintain her image in front of him, and her mood would subconsciously relax.
"Tch, boring."
Gu Ran glanced at her, not quite understanding what she was gloating about. Did she think he'd feel ashamed just being called 'little brother'?
Too small, her vision was too small!
With a toss of his head, he took the lead and walked through the school gates.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen lightly bit her lip, her small fists clenching uncontrollably beneath the hem of her clothes.
"This boy... Zhenzhen, you should hurry in too, don't be late."
Gu Xiangcheng felt a bit of a headache coming on, feeling like his rebellious son was making a comeback.
Fortunately, having an extra well-behaved daughter helped neutralize it, giving him a lot of comfort.
"Okay, goodbye, Uncle."
Facing Gu Xiangcheng, Ye Zhenzhen resumed her calm and composed demeanor.
She gave a slight nod, bid farewell to Gu Xiangcheng, and turned to walk towards the campus.
Gu Ran wasn't walking fast, and within a few steps, Ye Zhenzhen had caught up.
Sniffing the fragrant breeze coming from beside him, Gu Ran twitched his nose and figured out the source of the scent.
"Osmanthus?"
He turned his head and asked softly, causing Ye Zhenzhen to freeze slightly, not understanding what he meant.
"Erzhu?"
Tilting her head in thought, she tentatively spoke up softly, trying to match his secret code.
Gu Ran: "..."
Were they filming a rural TV drama here?
"I'm saying the fragrance on you is osmanthus."
"Oh, oh..."
Realizing her mistake, the girl didn't feel embarrassed or annoyed. Instead, she frankly lowered her head to sniff her clothes and found that it was indeed the scent of osmanthus.
It was very faint, so faint that if he hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.
However... this guy was such a pervert. She hadn't even noticed the scent on herself, yet he could smell it.
"It's probably the smell of laundry detergent. I don't wear perfume."
Ye Zhenzhen replied calmly, while silently adding in her heart that she couldn't afford perfume anyway.
"It could also be your natural body scent, because Auntie Ye doesn't have this smell on her. Plus, I heard that pretty girls all have a natural body scent."
Gu Ran analyzed it for her very seriously, instantly breaking through the girl's defenses.
On her fair, calm face, a hint of red could be seen, starting from her neck and gradually spreading upwards.
Frivolous!
She bit her lip lightly, ripples forming in her cold eyes, and she couldn't help but glare at the boy beside her.
She suddenly had an intuition that in their future life together, she would most likely die of anger.
Looking at the gentle smile on Gu Ran's face, her beautiful eyes darted around, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a quirky arc.
"Then did you know, I heard that this body scent is caused by hormones.
It's not that pretty girls have a body scent, but rather that you find her pretty and become attracted to her, which makes your genes choose her, and that's why you can smell this so-called body scent.
So... little brother Gu Ran, are you attracted to your older sister?"
Gu Ran: "..."
Fine, you have a mouth, I can't out-talk you.
He cast a sidelong glance at the girl beside him, speechless, not daring to say what was in his heart for fear of being beaten up as a hooligan.
Seeing him shut up, Ye Zhenzhen lifted her chin somewhat smugly, giving a soft hmph in her heart to celebrate her victory.
The two walked side by side on the campus. Following not far behind, Ye Jinliang's eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze full of doubt towards this world.
It must be because he studied too much English last night, filling this world with the inconceivable!
Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he found that the scene before him hadn't changed. Ye Jinliang suddenly felt like life had no hope.
No, what right did that guy have!
Staring at the two figures ahead, the sunlight sprinkled over them, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.
The guy was handsome and the girl was gorgeous. He had to admit, he was truly jealous...
