Want Brother to Hold Me

When Gu Luo got a clear look at the face of this so-called "Sister Qi," he was genuinely stunned.

Standing right before him was none other than Tang Qi—the hottest diva in all of China at the moment.

And here she was, real and tangible, right in front of him.

Was this what it felt like to leap up the social ladder?

Ever since his "simp" father had climbed his way into high society, Gu Luo's life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Forget about titles like "Guangya's Male God" or invitations from the mayor—just the fact that he had three wealthy sworn sisters doting on him was enough to guarantee a life of luxury.

At this moment, all Gu Luo wanted to do was scream internally:

—'What's the point of having this system?!'

'Why must you rob me of the right to struggle?!'

'Is this soft life really unavoidable?!'

Of course, these were just humblebrag complaints.

If someone actually tried to take his "Doting Sisters System" away, he'd throw a fit.

Wait a minute… Hadn’t the system been awfully quiet lately?

Thinking about it, it made sense—how much trouble could his sisters possibly get into?

Suppressing his excitement, Gu Luo put on a polite smile and greeted Tang Qi:

"Hello."

He wasn’t much of a fanboy, but that didn’t stop him from admiring her. His phone was full of her songs, after all.

"N-no need to be so formal… Just call me Auntie," Tang Qi stammered softly, waving her hand.

"I… I’ve listened to your 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' many times… Truly impressive. The younger generation is to be feared."

Then she turned to Li Juan and greeted her: "Auntie Juan, here to mooch off your cooking again."

Watching this scene unfold, Wen Qianrou couldn’t help but feel dazed.

Why did it seem like Gu Luo was the celebrity here, while Sister Qi was the fangirl?

In an instant, it clicked.

Case closed—Tang Qi must really like Gu Luo!

No wonder she’d been acting so strange earlier.

She must’ve been trying to keep up her idol image and hide it.

The realization sent Wen Qianrou soaring with excitement.

As expected of her ultimate idol!

Even a diva like Tang Qi wasn’t immune to his charm!

"Well then, Auntie," Gu Luo obliged with a smile, already scheming about how to ask Tang Qi for a few autographed photos to bring back for his sisters.

Shu Ning and the others aside, at the very least, Little Man would be thrilled.

Seeing that everyone had gotten acquainted, Li Juan smiled warmly and stretched out her arms toward Lin Mengyun.

"Little Yunyun, come to Grandma, won’t you?"

Tang Qi also gently rocked her daughter in her arms and coaxed softly, "Sweetheart, let Grandma hold you for a bit, okay?"

"No…"

Lin Mengyun first glanced at Li Juan, then at her mother, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

Finally, her gaze landed on Gu Luo, and she piped up in her tiny voice:

"Want Brother to hold."

Hearing this, Gu Luo was flattered beyond words, momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"Little Yunyun likes Brother Luo too, huh?" Li Juan lowered her arms, her face full of grandmotherly affection. "Then let Brother Luo hold you."

But the most shocked person at that moment was Tang Qi.

Her precious daughter had always been shy around strangers—this was the first time she’d ever asked to be held by someone else.

Taking a quiet breath to steady herself, Tang Qi smiled at Gu Luo.

"Then, Luo, I’ll trouble you."

"No problem at all."

For some reason, Gu Luo felt a little nervous. Maybe it was because this was his first time holding a child.

Carefully, he took Lin Mengyun from Tang Qi’s arms.

"Brother," Lin Mengyun called out again in that adorable, milky voice.

The sheer cuteness of it melted Gu Luo’s heart instantly.
