Chapter 96
Carrying a small basin into the bathroom, the blush on the young woman's face deepened.
Unable to hold back her embarrassed annoyance, she glared at the person beside her and spat softly, "Why... why did you follow me in here!"
"I'm just making sure you aren't going to do anything weird to my socks."
Gu Ran answered with a straight face, looking completely serious, like a shameless jerk who had gotten a good deal and was still acting innocent.
"You... get out!"
Ye Zhenzhen caught some water in her hand and splashed it right at his face.
Her pretty face flushed red, not out of shyness, but out of anger.
She truly couldn't imagine how there could be such a thick-skinned person in this world!
He knew full well she was here to wash his socks, so how did he have the nerve to say something like that!
"I'm not leaving. I need to supervise you properly."
Reaching up to wipe the water droplets from his face, Gu Ran continued to speak with righteous indignation, looking for all the world like an emissary of justice.
"So annoying..."
Giving him an exasperated glare, Ye Zhenzhen decided to treat him like thin air and got busy with the task at hand.
Filling the basin with water, she started by washing her own underwear.
However...
With an extra pair of eyes watching her from the side, she couldn't help but feel weird, and even her hand movements became unnatural.
She repeatedly reminded herself in her heart that she was the older sister and had no reason to feel embarrassed in front of her younger brother. After all, when these clothes were hung out on the balcony, this guy saw them all the time. But something still felt off, making her feel incredibly self-conscious.
A faint rosy tint appeared on her pretty face, perfectly interpreting the phrase "a face like peach blossoms." Gu Ran leaned against the doorframe, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before him.
Suddenly, the girl's hands jerked, and she whipped her head around.
Noticing the young man's unblinking stare beside her, a flash of embarrassed anger crossed her cool, clear eyes.
"What are you looking at!"
No wonder this guy refused to leave; so this was what he was plotting!
"Cough, cough... I wasn't looking, I wasn't looking."
Staring like that, Gu Ran himself felt like a bit of a pervert and genuinely started to feel embarrassed.
Coughing awkwardly a few times, his gaze slowly drifted upward to study the ceiling.
Seeing his obvious attempt to cover up his guilt, Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, then turned her head back to continue washing her undergarments.
Pouring in some osmanthus-scented laundry detergent, her fair, slender hands scrubbed over and over, not missing a single detail.
Water splashed, and the fresh scent of the detergent slowly filled the air.
Gu Ran sniffed the air and, without realizing it, turned his head back, secretly watching her again.
The girl's nature meant that even when she was just washing clothes, she looked incredibly serious.
Without her noticing, a few droplets of water had splashed onto her flawless, fair forehead, dampening the strands of hair that had slipped down.
Gu Ran blinked. He felt that just standing there doing nothing wasn't quite right, so, as if possessed, he reached out and tucked the stray hair behind the girl's ear.
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
She slowly turned her head in bewilderment, looking in shock at the young man who had just touched her hair.
Seriously, did he really have nothing better to do?!
Grabbing Gu Ran by the ear with one hand, Ye Zhenzhen scolded him in flustered anger, "You come over here and wash them!"
Angrily dropping the washbasin where it was, the usually aloof girl had finally lost her composure.
Why should she, as the older sister, work tirelessly to wash this stinky little brother's clothes?
She tutored this guy without charging tuition, and on top of that, she had to wash his clothes and clean his room. Was she his child bride or something?
Fiercely twisting Gu Ran's ear, she dragged him over to the washbasin and gave him a swift kick. "Stop dawdling and hurry up and wash!"
Glaring at him fiercely with her cool eyes, Ye Zhenzhen decided that from now on, she would make him wash all the clothes.
If he dared to be lazy, she would smack him!
Under the oppression of his tyrannical older sister, a wronged-looking Gu Ran rolled up his sleeves and reluctantly plunged his hands into the basin.
The moment he lightly touched his sister's undergarments, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing and touching were, after all, two very different sensations.
Gu Ran's face turned red, and his movements froze. He awkwardly turned his head to look back at Ye Zhenzhen, only to be met with a merciless beating.
Slapping him on the back of the head, the cool-tempered sister frowned and said, "What are you looking at? Wash!"
Gu Ran: "..."
"A true man stands tall between heaven and earth, how can he..."
Smack!
"Cut the nonsense and hurry up!"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by another slap. Seeing the girl's arched brows, he subconsciously shrank his neck.
Damn it, he shouldn't have followed her in!
Resigning himself to his fate, he reached out and scrubbed the undergarments. Even though the tap water was freezing cold, the clothes felt increasingly hot to the touch.
He turned them over and over, scrubbing endlessly.
Ye Zhenzhen stood to the side, her arms crossed, watching quietly, gradually biting her pink lower lip.
Smack!
Another slap.
Gu Ran instantly felt aggrieved. He turned his head pitifully to question the girl beside him, "Why did you hit me again? I'm washing them!"
"How long does it take you to wash one piece of underwear! Half an hour?"
Ye Zhenzhen spat at him, her eyes full of the look one gives a pervert.
She wanted to take her clothes back, but she didn't want to let this pervert off so easily. She could only force down her shyness, keep a straight face, and continue to scold, "Hurry... hurry up and wash the socks!"
After saying that, she snatched back the underwear that was about to be scrubbed into oblivion, and threw the socks over instead.
There were two pairs in total: the ones she had just taken off, and the ones she had just peeled off this guy's feet.
If she hadn't asked for them, she probably would have had to dig his socks out of the trash can.
"What are you looking at? Go wash your socks!"
Noticing Gu Ran's gaze, the cool girl quickly hid the clothes in her hands behind her back and gave him an annoyed eye roll.
Seeing her disobedient younger brother resume washing the socks, Ye Zhenzhen nodded slightly.
She didn't go to hang up her clothes; instead, she continued to stand there and supervise.
"Why do you keep staring at me? It's not like I'm going to eat them!"
Feeling the gaze from beside him, Gu Ran also felt very uncomfortable. Throwing the socks back into the basin, he couldn't help but ask.
"Pfft! I'm supervising you to crush any thoughts you have of doing something weird!"
Gu Ran: "???"
What did she mean by crushing his thoughts?
Why was she making it sound like he was definitely going to do something weird?
This was pure slander!!!
His heart was full of complaints, but he didn't dare argue with his dictatorial sister. He had no choice but to silently lower his head and continue scrubbing the girl's pure white cotton socks.
Watching Gu Ran seriously handling her socks, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but curl her toes...
Five minutes later, the girl yawned, turned around to poke her head out, and glanced at the clock in the living room.
"Hey, are you done washing yet? I want to go to sleep. You're so slow just washing some socks. If you like washing them so much, I'll let you wash them every day!"
Kicking the young man's calf lightly, Ye Zhenzhen urged him.
Hearing this, the young man, who was wringing out the socks, raised an eyebrow.
There was such a good deal?
Keeping his face expressionless, Gu Ran coughed lightly. "In your dreams!"
Handing the wrung-out cotton socks to the girl, he took the opportunity to roll his eyes to show his impatience.
Then, he grabbed his own socks, gave them a quick rinse and wash in no time flat, and headed out to hang them up.
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
This guy...
When he washed hers, he acted like he wanted to wash them for half an hour. But when it came to his own, even one minute was too long!
He really was a pervert!
Don't try to feed her that line about needing to wash up properly for Big Sister, because she's not going to buy it!

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...
