Chapter 35
After changing their clothes, the two of them took Gu Xiangcheng's Didi premier car and arrived at school.
Gu Ran's nose twitched slightly, smelling the fragrance of the girl after her shower, and his mood also brightened.
"Hurry up, we're going to be late!"
Turning her head to see the lazy Gu Ran behind her, Ye Zhenzhen bit her lip, wishing she could go up, pull his ear, and drag him toward the teaching building.
"Who's to blame for being late? You stayed in the bathroom taking a shower for ages without coming out, and now you're getting anxious."
Although he complained a bit, Gu Ran helplessly followed the anxious girl, hurrying toward the classroom.
Following behind, Li Sinan, who had just wanted to reach out and say hello, stared at their backs, put her hand down, and fell deep in thought, not knowing what to make of it.
Arriving at the classroom, Ye Zhenzhen still had a flush from exercising on her face, making Pei Susu click her tongue.
Ignoring her dirty-minded best friend, she opened her book and started morning reading.
She had to admit, running for a while in the morning made her mind feel much clearer now.
Fully engrossed in her studies, time flew by quickly.
For several days in a row, the two lived a simple routine between school and home.
The only spice in their lives was running early in the morning and making up for missed lessons at home at night.
When Friday arrived, because tomorrow was New Year's Day, the school made an unprecedented decision to give them a half-day off on Saturday. The excited high school seniors all celebrated.
After the first evening self-study class ended, Gu Ran appeared at the door of the advanced class right on time as usual.
Ye Zhenzhen also habitually packed her schoolbag. Seeing her swift actions, her deskmate Pei Susu couldn't help but curl her lips and ask, "There are less than two hundred days until the college entrance examination. What are you doing leaving so early every day?"
While speaking, her eyes glanced at Gu Ran standing at the door, and she smiled ambiguously, asking in a low voice, "A date?"
"Sorry, I don't go on dates. I'm a proper person."
Ye Zhenzhen brushed her hair back, a cold look appearing on her calm face, and righteously refused.
Pei Susu: "???"
Was she asking to go on a date with her?
Playing dumb, huh!
There was definitely something going on between those two...
Watching Ye Zhenzhen pack her bag and hurry out of the classroom, she curled her lips and continued reading.
A wise person doesn't fall in love; she was going to be a smart person who studied hard!
...
Walking in the corridor with Gu Ran, looking at the schoolbag he was carrying, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but frown.
Did this guy not put anything in his bag again?
Reaching out and patting it, the schoolbag visibly deflated. She raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when Gu Ran turned around and spoke first.
"I packed something. There's a notebook!"
Twitching her mouth, her lines being stolen, she didn't know what to say. She rolled her beautiful eyes at Gu Ran.
"Hmph! Young man, with this learning attitude of yours, I am very worried about you!"
But unwilling to let him off so easily, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but start nagging, speaking earnestly.
Seeing this, Gu Ran quickly turned his head away and muttered softly.
"Acting like a mother hen again..."
"What did you say?!"
"I said you look really pretty today, sister."
"Hmph, tell me, which day do I not look pretty?"
"..."
The two chatted idly all the way, walking back home under the moonlight.
After eating the dinner Ye Shulian prepared for them, they went to the girl's bedroom and started tonight's study tasks.
Meanwhile, Ye Shulian, who was clearing the dishes in the dining room, stared at her daughter's door and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Recently, the two kids had been getting closer and closer. While she was pleased, she was also vaguely worried.
Especially since Gu Ran was always in Zhenzhen's room. Although she knew they were studying and trusted her daughter to know the boundaries.
But she feared that spending so much time together, for adolescent boys and girls, might lead to inappropriate feelings.
She and Gu Xiangcheng had already gotten their marriage certificates, just waiting to hold a wedding after the college entrance examination, and incidentally celebrate the two kids going to college.
Legally, they were already siblings. If they became a couple later, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Those who knew them understood they weren't blood-related, but those who didn't might think it was incest!
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know what her mother was worrying about. After returning to the room, she turned to the tail behind her and said speechlessly, "Shoo, shoo, I need to change clothes. Why did you follow me in again?"
"We're so familiar already. Just change, I won't peek."
Gu Ran looked sincere, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
To this, Ye Zhenzhen held her breath, silently suppressing the urge to hit someone.
This guy would climb up if given a stick. She wouldn't stoop to his level. Don't get angry, don't get angry; who would suffer if she got mad?
With a flip of her slender hand, she directly grabbed Gu Ran's ear and dragged him toward the balcony.
"Hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts..."
Grabbed by the ear, like a cat held by the scruff of its neck, Gu Ran instantly lost the ability to resist.
"Then just wait here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, he was pushed out.
Turning around to say something more, he only heard a "smack" as the balcony door was closed.
Looking through the glass at the girl inside, he helplessly curled his lips.
The trust between people had vanished again. He had never seen someone so petty!
He already said he wouldn't look, what did she mean by this?
Not trusting a gentleman???
Seeing Gu Ran's frustrated expression, Ye Zhenzhen's lips also curled up slightly.
Noticing her gaze, the person locked on the balcony immediately looked back, but with a swish, the girl inside drew the curtains.
Gu Ran: "..."
Fine, fine, this girl is blind, guarding against a gentleman but not a villain!
From beginning to end, Gu Ran firmly believed he was a gentleman, but the little villain inside just wouldn't believe it...
Helplessly returning to his own room, he looked at the wardrobe, not knowing what he thought of, but his lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
Ten minutes later, after changing his clothes, he came to the balcony and gently knocked on the balcony door of the girl's room.
"Ye Zhenzhen, are you done changing? I'm going to freeze to death!"
As his words fell, the curtains were suddenly pulled open, revealing the girl's cold, stunningly beautiful face.
At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a white shirt, tucked into light blue jeans, with a pair of glasses on her face, and her high ponytail had been let down.
It was a Jiang Shuying vibe again. Gu Ran blinked, reluctant to move his eyes away for even a second.
Regarding this youthful version of the older sister outfit, a certain Mr. Gu felt it hit right at his heart, truly striking his unspeakable little kink.
As a senior programmer, he loved studying computer programs in his free time, and he had researched the XP system quite deeply.
Just like the white shirt, jeans, pure white cotton socks, paired with silver-framed glasses in front of him.
The system ran smoothly, greatly speeding up the software's operation. Especially during gaming, the boost to attack speed was terrifying...
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?! ...

"Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
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.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
