Chapter 87
Gu Ran attentively pulled out a chair for the young woman, but Ye Zhenzhen still rolled her eyes at him. She sat down without standing on ceremony, tossing her high ponytail and refusing to give him a good look.
Feeling guilty, he naturally didn't dare to say much. However, Ye Shulian, who was setting out the chopsticks, frowned at the sight.
"Ye Zhenzhen, are you bullying your younger brother again!"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
Before the young woman could retort, Gu Ran quickly offered a bashful smile and said, "No, no, Aunt Ye. I made my sister mad, you can't blame her."
Hearing this, Ye Shulian felt even more heartbroken for him. After finishing setting the chopsticks, she hauled the seated young woman up from her chair.
"Go to the kitchen and serve the dishes!"
With that, she pulled over the standing Gu Ran, pressed him into the chair, and said gently, "Come, Xiao Ran, you sit."
Gu Ran: "!!!"
He subconsciously looked at Ye Zhenzhen, only to find the young woman's pretty face already covered in a layer of frost. His mouth twitched involuntarily.
Aunt Ye is setting me up!
He blinked innocently at her, but the young woman across from him didn't appreciate it at all.
She coldly crossed her arms, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on her lips, making him shudder.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Shulian turned around. Seeing Ye Zhenzhen still standing there, her brows immediately shot up. "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and go."
After saying that, she turned back, looking with a face full of maternal love at the obediently seated Gu Ran. "Xiao Ran is so well-behaved, look at this poor child. If your sister bullies you again, just tell Auntie. Auntie will sort her out for you!"
"No, no, my sister usually takes very good care of me."
Gu Ran didn't dare to play along with that at all, hastily praising the aloof-looking young woman.
But Ye Shulian thought this was just a lie told under threat, and continued affectionately, "Don't be afraid. I saw everything just now. If you have any grievances, just say so, Auntie will stand up for you.
I'm docking your sister's allowance for this week to teach her a lesson, so she'll stop bullying you endlessly."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Fine, fine, you've been learning too much from Green Tea Pei, haven't you!
Unable to listen any longer, the aloof young woman turned and walked into the kitchen.
Hearing the clanging and banging noises she made while plating the dishes in the kitchen, Gu Ran instinctively shrank his neck.
He ate the entire meal in fear and trepidation, not knowing what inhuman torture he would suffer once they went back to their rooms.
...
8:00 PM.
Gu Ran stayed in his room, pondering whether he should still go over for his tutoring session.
If he went now, he'd probably get bitten...
After agonizing over it for a while, he decided to strike first. After all, the torment of waiting was truly unbearable.
He sneakily fetched a basin of hot water, sliced two pieces of ginger as usual, dropped in two red dates, and carried it through the balcony door to the young woman's bedroom.
Fortunately, the balcony door wasn't locked. Perhaps she had left it open for him, or perhaps she was just waiting for him to walk right into her trap.
But regardless, he finally entered the young woman's domain.
As soon as he entered, he saw the aloof young woman sitting quietly at her desk reading a book, her legs crossed, a slipper dangling from her pointed toes.
For some reason, just looking at her back, Gu Ran could already guess what kind of cold expression was on her face.
He shrank his neck, gave an awkward smile, and said, "Big sister, it's time to wash your feet."
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen gently set down her book and slowly turned around.
Her brows were furrowed, her face impassive. Her clear eyes were full of icy chill, as if she had grown indifferent to everything in the world, devoid of any emotion.
She was trying her best to convey her anger, but seeing Gu Ran hunched over, holding a basin with a towel draped over his shoulder, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Rolling her beautiful eyes at him, she forced down the amusement in her heart and maintained her cold expression to preserve her image as the older sister.
"What are you doing here!"
Gu Ran: "???"
Was he not clear enough just now? To wash her feet!
After he repeated what he had just said, Ye Zhenzhen leisurely stood up, crossed her arms, and walked over with a swaying, graceful gait.
She wore a white button-up shirt and black pants, with a white school uniform jacket tied around her waist, fully displaying her youthful vibe.
Yet her delicate, pretty face, combined with those silver-rimmed glasses, carried an indescribable hint of allure.
Innocent yet seductive, cool yet sweet—that was probably the best way to describe her.
"What is this? Are you making soup?"
Looking down at the ginger slices and red dates in the basin, the young woman with the tight, straight face almost broke character again.
She gave him an exasperated look and asked in a cool tone.
"No, this warms the womb and dispels the cold, it's good for your body!"
Gu Ran answered very openly, which instantly made the young woman blush beet red.
Warms what womb?!
He sure knows a lot!
She extended a small foot, lightly kicked him, and softly spat, "Pervert!"
The young man didn't argue. He stood there meekly, letting the young woman scold him.
Not wanting to bother with this shameless rascal in front of her, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but roll her eyes again. "Why are you just holding the basin? Put it down!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran acted as if waking from a dream, blankly placing the basin on the floor.
Seeing this, the young woman scolded affectionately, "Idiot!"
"Hurry up, while it's hot!"
Squatting on the floor, Gu Ran quickly urged her, making her frown. She felt like he was saying something weird again.
Seeing his overly attentive attitude, the young woman curled her toes, feeling a bit resistant.
After all, this guy's perverted deeds had just happened a moment ago!
But she was also reluctant to just turn and walk away.
She had finally caught an opportunity and didn't want to let this guy off so easily. Gritting her teeth and making up her mind, she sat straight down on the bed, lifted her little feet, and enjoyed her younger brother's service with peace of mind.
Who asked him to make her mad? His punishment was to wash her feet!
Gu Ran reached out to gently stir the hot water and test the temperature before softly taking off the young woman's cotton socks.
He casually stuffed them into his pocket. Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen immediately raised her eyebrows.
Barefoot, she lightly kicked him in the shoulder and scolded, "Take them out!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran coughed twice, pulled the cotton socks out of his pocket, and set them aside. "Ahem, force of habit, force of habit."
Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him in exasperation and snapped, "Next time you steal my socks, I'll stuff them in your mouth!"
Gu Ran: "!!!"
Is that really an option?!
He felt a bit excited in his heart, but didn't dare to ask. He tried his best to pretend, making himself look less like a pervert.
With gentle movements, he submerged her slender, jade-like feet into the water and carefully began to rub them.
Feeling the sensation on her feet, Ye Zhenzhen stretched her body and earnestly enjoyed the service.
This was a younger brother's filial respect for his older sister; ordinary people couldn't experience this!
She comforted herself again: this was training a husband for her future sister-in-law, definitely not an older sister exploiting her younger brother...
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
