At nine o'clock at night, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsided under the cover of the night.
Gu Luo and Luo Shuling strolled side by side and eventually arrived at East Lake Park.
Their purpose for this trip was to go for a night run to prepare for the upcoming relay race in the sports meeting.
Originally, the little angel Shu Ning also wanted to come along, but was skillfully stopped by the little devil Shu He.
Under the pretext of saying that they were going to tutor the little proud Xi Man, whose academic performance was relatively poor.
Of course, the most fundamental reason was simply that she didn't like running and had no athletic nerve, so she also wanted to stop her sister.
As an evil cultivator, Shu He's idea was very simple. For now, there were no obvious signs of the revival of Shuling, the so - called 'Lord of the Forbidden Zone', so she could be put aside for the time being.
The top priority at the moment was to eliminate her sister, a powerful opponent from the so - called 'Orthodox Sect'.
And for the proposal of tutoring her younger sister, the kindest little angel at home of course couldn't refuse.
Gu Ximan's academic performance was really poor. If it weren't for Luo Liang using his connections, she would never have been able to get into Guangya Academy in her lifetime.
"Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother."
Luo Shuling was like a cheerful little sparrow, hopping along beside Gu Luo and shouting non - stop.
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here." Gu Luo smiled and patiently responded one by one.
"Hehe, you're such a good brother."
Luo Shuling was wearing tight - fitting short - sleeved tops and shorts tonight. Her outfit perfectly outlined her figure.
A pair of fair and slender long legs looked particularly eye - catching under the night lights.
"You're such a cute sister."
Gu Luo shook his head with a smile, covering his still - full stomach with his hand, and suggested, "How about we run later? I haven't even digested my dinner yet."
"Huh? Your digestive system is so weak, brother."
As Luo Shuling said, she started hopping around beside Gu Luo, showing off her abundant energy. "Look, I ate three bowls of rice, and I'm fine at all now!"
Gu Luo looked helplessly at his energetic younger sister in front of him and said with a bitter smile:
"Is it possible that you're just different from ordinary people..."
"It's okay, it's okay. I just eat a little more and have a little better digestive system." Luo Shuling said with a big smile and playfully made a gesture with her fingertips.
"Yeah, just a tiny bit."
Gu Luo was really at a loss for what to do with this simple and lovely foodie sister. He lovingly reached out and ruffled her hair. "Let's take a walk together first, and then we'll run home later."
This so - called night run was nominally for the relay race in the sports meeting, but in fact, it was just the elder brother accompanying the younger sister out for fun.
After all, the relay race was a team entertainment event, and the most important thing was for everyone to have a good time.
Moreover, no matter how strong Luo Shuling's digestive system was, she had really eaten three big bowls of white rice. It wasn't really appropriate to do strenuous exercise right after a meal.
Alas, it was really unfair. Some people would gain weight just by drinking water, while his little sunshine ate like a pig, but the more she ate, the more perfect her figure became. She was not only slender but also had an enviable six - pack.
Where could one go to reason about this?
"Okay then, let's take a walk first." Luo Shuling readily agreed, and then couldn't help but tease, "You're so weak, good brother."
But right after she said that, she covered her forehead, and her mocking expression instantly turned into one of grievance.
"You just can't go a day without getting a rap on the head." Gu Luo withdrew his hand with a smile on his face, and then added, "This feeling is really nice."
"Pfft..." Luo Shuling imitated Gu Ximan's look and made a face at him.
The two of them walked side by side, strolling slowly and chatting happily.
It was very relaxing and pleasant.
Luo Shuling was hopping along in front when suddenly she stopped in her tracks, turned around, and asked, "Good brother, what do you think about tomorrow's thing?"
"What thing?"
Gu Luo didn't react at first, and then suddenly realized. "Oh, you mean going to Grandma Li's house for dinner?"
After a pause, he asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'what do I think'? Aren't we just going there for a meal?"
"That won't do!" Luo Shuling immediately put one hand on her hip and waved her index finger with the other. "Brother, you cook so well. You definitely have to show off your cooking skills! Let us sisters show you off!"
"..."
Gu Luo didn't know how to respond for a moment.
If he was invited to dinner, it wouldn't be appropriate to take over as the host. However, if he just went to the kitchen to help out a bit, it wouldn't be a problem.
After thinking about it, he said, "I can give a hand."
"No, no, no!"
Luo Shuling continued to wave her index finger and said with a big smile, "It's true that you'll give a hand, but it'll be Grandma Li helping you, brother."
"I've already talked to Grandma Li. At that time, I'll let you be the head chef and be in charge of cooking."
"Well... okay then." Gu Luo didn't know what else to say.
He really hadn't dealt much with those big - shot people.
This Grandma Li was the older sister of Mayor Li. He still felt a bit of pressure.
After all, before his step - father Luo Liang made it big, he was just an ordinary person. Apart from being a little more handsome and having a little better grades, he was no different from an ordinary child.
At that time, not to mention the mayor, he didn't even have a chance to meet a section chief.
Of course, even though he had now become Luo Liang's step - son and achieved a class leap, some long - formed concepts couldn't be changed overnight.
He also had to play the suona for the old people in the government compound this weekend. He definitely couldn't show off his charm too much then, otherwise, he might send a few of them away on the spot. Although he could bring them back to life...
While thinking about these miscellaneous things in his mind, Gu Luo suddenly looked at Luo Shuling and saw a faint smile on her face.
For some reason, he had a special feeling.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Noticing the look in his eyes, Luo Shuling blinked her big bright eyes and instantly turned into a cute foodie look.
"Nothing..."
Gu Luo just felt a momentary daze and shook his head.
"Hey, let me tell you the truth, brother." Luo Shuling stroked her hair that didn't even reach her ears and said a little shyly:
"Mainly, my taste buds have been spoiled by your cooking. I just can't eat the food made by others..."
"But as a guest, if I eat very little, it'll be disrespectful..."
Saying this, she happily wrapped her arm around Gu Luo's. "It's all your fault, brother. Your cooking is so good that I'm addicted to it!"
Hearing this, Gu Luo couldn't help but smile lovingly. "Well, you're right. Okay, okay, it's my fault."
So that was the case.
Sure enough, his little sunshine was just a simple foodie sister, with food on her mind all the time.
"Of course it's your fault." Luo Shuling then said, "Not only me, but also Shu Ning, Shu He, and Ximan. Now they can't do without the food you cook."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Gu Luo said this, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up high.
He was overjoyed inside.
What could be more delightful than being recognized by his sisters?
He just loved hearing Xi Man speak the plain truth.
It was so satisfying!
"Not exaggerated at all!" Luo Shuling immediately said excitedly:
"Really, really. I used to love eating out a lot. But since big brother moved in, I've lost all interest in the food outside!"
"Take Shu He for example. She's such a picky eater, but now she can finish a big bowl of rice every day!"
"Big brother, tell the truth. Did you add something strange to the food?"
"Haha..." Hearing this, Gu Luo couldn't help but burst out laughing, feeling secretly delighted.
This feeling was just like when playing an online game with friends and crushing the opponents so badly that they angrily accused you of cheating.
Although he was slandered, it was the highest form of recognition.
Unable to resist, he ruffled Luo Shuling's little head again.
He was growing fonder and fonder of staying with this carefree foodie sister who always spoke the plain truth.
He just couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
Just when Gu Luo was at his happiest, Luo Shuling said pitifully, "Brother, can I also have the same treatment as Xi Man next time? I want to chat with you more."
As she said that, she deliberately puffed out her cheeks like Gu Ximan and started acting cute.
"Sure."
Hearing this, Gu Luo, who was in a great mood, simply thought for a moment and readily agreed.
Just like the little tsundere, the little sunshine was also a pure and lovely sister.
How could he bear to reject his sister's little wish?

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
