Hearing this, Gu Luo took the phone from Gu Ximan, which was encased in a panda-themed cover.
He took a closer look.
Well, well—color him impressed.
The mystery fan club leader’s identity had actually been deduced that easily.
Just who was this enigmatic leader?
Judging by the last soccer match, someone who could arrange for water to be prepared so precisely in advance was likely a classmate from Class 8.
But that wasn’t necessarily the case.
It could also be some obsessive fan with a stalking habit.
The identity of this mysterious leader remained an unsolved mystery, even within the fan group itself.
Gu Luo couldn’t pinpoint who it was right away, but at least he knew this person meant him no harm.
Just a pure-hearted fan lurking in the shadows, "quietly shining their light."
To ensure victory in the upcoming tug-of-war match, he had directly boosted his physical stats to 11 points.
Originally, he thought that with so many participants, he could keep a low profile and let his achievements remain anonymous.
But who would’ve guessed he’d still be singled out?
And through the simplest "control variable method," no less.
Seemed like staying under the radar just wasn’t in the cards.
Hmm…
Wait a minute.
Hold on—Gu Luo suddenly spotted the key detail.
He turned his head, smirking at Gu Ximan. "Ximan, so you’re my fan too, huh?"
He deliberately drew out the word "fan," emphasizing it with extra weight.
"I… I…"
Gu Ximan’s fair, eggshell-smooth cheeks instantly flushed pink. Her tsundere instincts kicked in, urging her to scramble for a rebuttal.
But another, newly awakened instinct deep inside quickly shut that impulse down.
The two instincts clashed violently.
[Tsundere Ximan: Quick, deny it! Say Xuexue dragged you in! Can’t lose face in front of stupid big bro!!]
[Awakened Ximan: Still acting tsundere? Knock it off! Don’t you know tsunderes ruin their own chances? The whole school and even home are battlefields now—keep this up and you’ll end up a lonely Ximan!]
[Tsundere Ximan: It’s called pride! Pride, got it? Boys love this act! You think stupid big bro doesn’t get us? Tsundere little sisters are totally in demand!]
[Awakened Ximan: Back then, sure, we could afford to be tsundere—there was no competition! But now? Stupid big bro’s got charm, talent, and the entire Guangya girls’ school fawning over him. The meta’s moved to version 5.0, and you’re still stuck on 1.0?!]
[...]
The left and right sides of Gu Ximan’s brain waged war, leaving her momentarily frozen.
Staring at Gu Luo’s handsome face, she found herself at a loss for words.
After about 2.5 seconds of this, she suddenly giggled. "Stupid big bro, Xuexue added me to this group. It’s not like I joined on my own."
After a pause, she added shyly, "But… well, no matter what, I am your most loyal little fan."
Gu·Tsun·Awakened·Ximan had officially logged in.
Since she couldn’t reconcile the two voices in her heart, she decided to merge them instead.
The Chronicles of Gu Ximan Refusing to Become a Lonely Ximan
She’s grown up—more clingy, more expressive… Gu Luo couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion at his adorable little sister’s uncharacteristically earnest reply.
If this were the old-version Gu Ximan, she’d have scrunched up her face and retorted—"Stupid big bro, what are you thinking? I just stumbled into this group and was about to leave anyway."
"Who’d ever want to be your fan? Don’t be so full of yourself!"
And then, of course, the pièce de résistance—a haughty, tsundere-infused "Hmph!"
Though dripping with tsundere flavor, it was undeniably heart-meltingly cute, the kind that made you want to tease her even more.
Yep, his little sister had truly grown in every way.
As this thought crossed his mind, Gu Luo’s gaze unconsciously drifted downward from Gu Ximan’s adorable face.
Hmm. Yes, she’d definitely grown.
"Big bro Gu, I’m your fan too," Lu Xuexue chimed in, her cheeks pink as she pulled out her phone and opened the chat group titled [Gu God Fan Club].
She looked like an eager little kid waiting for her teacher’s praise.
Amused, Gu Luo reached out and gently patted both girls’ heads, as if petting two well-behaved kittens.
The texture? Equally soft—no clear winner here.
"Stop patting my head… I’ll never grow taller…" Gu Ximan muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible. "Stupid big bro…"
Lu Xuexue, however, reacted much more strongly. Her fair face turned scarlet in an instant, the blush spreading visibly from her cheeks down to her neck in a matter of seconds—a full-on "human tomato" transformation.
"Xuexue’s still so easy to fluster," Gu Luo remarked with a light chuckle before withdrawing his hand.
His mind drifted back to middle school, when Lu Xuexue would hide behind Gu Ximan like a startled rabbit every time she saw him, her face burning red as she squeaked out a timid "H-hi, big bro Gu" and nothing more.
Now, though, she could boldly voice her thoughts and even handle physical contact.
Time really flew.
Both girls had grown up without him even noticing.
Nearby, Shen Yue watched the scene with envy.
Her hand clenched around her phone in her pocket, itching to muster the courage to pull it out and declare, "I’m your fan too."
But the words stuck in her throat.
In gaming terms—she needed more time to farm.
Better to lay low now and make a grand entrance later.
"Gu Luo!"
"Bestie!"
Just then, the class’s sports committee member, Situ Wenyao, and a few other boys swaggered over, each holding a cup of bubble tea—courtesy of Class 12’s gym teacher.
Their eyes kept darting toward Gu Ximan and Lu Xuexue, the two most adorable first-year juniors in school.
Internally, they were green with envy at their "brother-in-law" Gu Luo.
Who wouldn’t want to casually deliver head pats to cute girls?
"Here, junior, have my tea," the sports committee member said with what he believed to be a dazzling smile, offering his drink to Gu Ximan.
"Mine too, for the other junior," Situ Wenyao added smugly, extending his cup toward Lu Xuexue.
"Thanks, seniors, but no need. I’ll share with big bro," Gu Ximan replied politely, though internally she was screaming—Situ Wenyao totally likes Lu Xuexue!
Case closed. Her feminine intuition had been spot-on all along.
"Thank you, senior, but I’m fine too," Lu Xuexue murmured, her face still tinged with lingering shyness.
Then, taking a tiny breath, her toes curling inside her white knee-high socks, she mustered her courage and whispered to Gu Luo…
"Brother Gu, can I share a drink with you and Ximan too?"
Huh?
Gu Luo was taken aback by this, sensing something off but unable to pinpoint exactly what.
Well, it seemed Lu Xuexue really saw him as an older brother now—no reservations at all.
But sharing one drink among three people...?
Meanwhile, Gu Ximan was equally surprised. She couldn’t understand why Lu Xuexue had turned down Situ Wenyao’s drink.
Wasn’t that a perfect opportunity?
Maybe she was just shy?
But then why suggest sharing with them instead...?
Wait—could this be a case of playing hard to get? Testing Situ Wenyao’s reaction?
Very possible!
Who knew Xuexue was such a master of tactics!
"You and Ximan can share mine. I’ll pass," Gu Luo replied after a moment, deciding this was the most reasonable answer.
Lu Xuexue’s face fell slightly at his refusal.
"Xuexue, you can have mine. I don’t like this flavor," Shen Yue suddenly spoke up, handing her own drink to Lu Xuexue.
Xuexue instinctively accepted it, murmuring, "Thank you, Senior Shen."
The class sports rep finally caught on—Gu Luo’s two sister-obsessed siblings had no interest in anyone else’s gestures.
They only wanted to stick close to Gu Luo.
His heart took yet another brutal hit.
As for Situ Wenyao, he silently retreated a few steps without a word.
Watching the envious looks from the guys around him, though, he was secretly thrilled.
Gu Ximan popped open her drink, took a loud sip, and then held the straw out to Gu Luo’s lips.
Without hesitation, he leaned down and took a sip himself.
He was deliberately putting on a show of sibling affection with Ximan—just to crush the hopes of those would-be suitors eyeing his sister.
'Gu Luo, you absolute bastard...'
'Gu Luo, you absolute bastard...'
'Gu Luo, you absolute bastard...'
'...'
Had Gu Luo been able to hear their thoughts, he’d have been met with a chorus of ghostly, resentful wails.

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

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!
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?!
