Who is a Teammate, Who is an Opponent

Otherwise, this strategy of feigning weakness while advancing by retreating would surely catch her sister off guard.

Indecisive and soft-hearted jerks like Gu Luo are like this—whoever gets hurt in the emotional competition will naturally earn their sympathy.

He just can’t bear to see his little sister sad.

Luo Shuning, being too upright, only manages to make Gu Luo feel a superficial sense of guilt, nothing deeper.

But Luo Shuhe, on the other hand, is a rogue cultivator—whatever method works, she’ll use it, switching tactics as needed.

Early on, she broke through Gu Luo’s psychological defenses with a domineering kiss. Later, she cleverly retreated to advance, shifting from offense to defense, keeping him tangled in emotional turmoil and drowning in guilt.

The battle between righteousness and wickedness has always been like this.

But right now, the real enemy isn’t her righteous sister—it’s the ruler of the forbidden zone, Luo Shuling, who had just walked into the bedroom.

Luo Shuling was wearing a figure-hugging short-sleeved top and shorts, her short hair still slightly damp from the shower. Her long, straight, and toned legs had an even more striking visual impact than Luo Shuning and Luo Shuhe’s.

In her hands were two decks of playing cards with intricate patterns and five dice.

As a self-proclaimed leg enthusiast, Gu Luo’s gaze uncontrollably darted toward Luo Shuling’s exposed legs.

Each of the triplets had stunning legs, but he had to admit—personally, he liked Luo Shuling’s the most.

They were the perfect combination of every desirable trait—smooth, straight, fair, youthful, healthy, and visually striking…

Calling them “leg goals” wouldn’t even do them justice.

Only one word could describe them—flawless.

Still, Gu Luo only allowed himself a brief glance before quickly looking away.

After all, Luo Shuling was just his little sister—different from Luo Shuning and Luo Shuhe.

Staring would be impolite.

Just then, Luo Shuling grinned mischievously at Luo Shuhe and said,

"Shuhe, you should stay and sleep with us too! We’ve never all slept together with Gu Luo and Ximan. We can chat before bed."

"It won’t be as fun without you."

Hearing this, Luo Shuhe’s expression stiffened slightly. She had meant to say that not all of them should stay, but Luo Shuling had twisted her words to make it seem like she was the one unwilling to stay.

Just as she was about to speak, Luo Shuning cut in first:

"Shuling, don’t pressure Shuhe. She’s always slept alone—she won’t be used to it."

And just like that, Luo Shuhe found herself cornered by both sisters.

They had completely misinterpreted her earlier remark—"Let’s not all stay"—and framed it as her own reluctance.

What a foolish sister.

Actively helping her younger sisters sabotage her.

Truly impressive.

Once something like this happened once, there’d be a second, third, fourth time… Eventually, everyone would grow accustomed to sharing a bed, and in the end, Gu Luo would be devoured whole.

However.

Right at this moment—a golden opportunity to eliminate Luo Shuhe—Luo Shuling instead played peacemaker, grinning as she said,

"Ah, whatever! None of us four sisters have ever slept together before. Tonight, no one’s allowed to leave."

After a pause, she added, "Besides, it’s not like we have a choice. Only Gu Luo’s bed is big enough for several people. Ours are too cramped."

This was true—of all the rooms, only Gu Luo’s had a large bed.

Of course, their beds weren’t small, but fitting five people would definitely be a squeeze.

Most girls preferred their own cozy sleeping space over a huge bed.

Guys, on the other hand, usually favored bigger beds.

So back then, Luo Liang had specifically gotten Gu Luo a large one.

"Shuling, you can’t force Shuhe either. If she doesn’t want to, forget it," Luo Shuning said with a smile, pretending to side with Luo Shuhe—clearly unwilling to give up just yet.

After all, Luo Shuhe had just shamelessly played the fragile, pitiful card, oozing with manipulative sweetness. If she stayed, Gu Luo—being the soft-hearted pushover he was—would undoubtedly focus all his attention on her.

Besides, wasn’t it only natural to drive away a romantic rival?

Luo Shuhe shot Luo Shuning a sidelong glance, inwardly sighing.

Her sister was being too hasty in her attempts to wipe out the competition.

Sacrificing an ally first? Really?

But there was no helping it. Her legendary "Bullied Queen" sister still hadn’t grasped the situation at all.

Either she was being cuckolded or was on the verge of it.

And she remained blissfully unaware, happily playing along.

"I don’t care, I don’t care! Shuhe, you have to stay tonight. It won’t be as fun with fewer people!" Luo Shuling outright started whining, completely unreasonable.

Seeing this, Luo Shuning pressed her lips together and reluctantly backed off.

So close.

She had almost managed to kick Luo Shuhe out.

But against this carefree, oblivious little sister, she really had no options.

Meanwhile, Luo Shuhe—who saw the situation with perfect clarity—felt an indescribable mix of emotions.

Who was an ally? Who was an enemy? It was impossible to tell.

Gu Luo, meanwhile, silently enjoyed the show, completely oblivious to the undercurrents between the sisters. To him, this conversation seemed entirely normal.

As the owner of the room, he had zero authority in front of his little sisters anyway.

Such was the life of the youngest brother.

That said, he certainly didn’t mind sharing a bed with them.

Seeing that her "Bullied Queen" sister was utterly unreliable—actively sabotaging her own allies—Luo Shuhe changed the subject:

"Where’s Ximan?"

At this point, she could only grasp at straws and hope the little airhead Gu Ximan might pull off a miracle.

After all, she was the one who frequently slept with Gu Luo.

This bed was practically her territory.

Surely she wouldn’t want to share it with the others.

"Ximan’s still soaking in the bathtub," Luo Shuling replied, kicking off her slippers and hopping onto Gu Luo’s bed with natural ease. Waving the playing cards and dice, she grinned.

"Tonight’s sleepover theme is—Truth or Dare!"

"Let’s play something else. Don’t you have a copy of Three Kingdoms Kill in your room?"

Luo Shuhe didn’t even need to think to know what Luo Shuling was scheming.

Forget the "truth" part—the "dare" would undoubtedly be nothing but fanservice.

And with Gu Luo being the only guy in the room, every single dare would inevitably involve him.

Everyone would gradually grow accustomed to all sorts of intimate actions.

Under the guise of a game, everything would quietly shift.

"Three Kingdoms Kill is super popular—I took it to school last time and haven’t brought it back yet. This Truth or Dare set was specially prepared for tonight!" Luo Shuling tilted her head, eyes curving into amused crescents.

Luo Shuhe met her gaze directly.

Their eyes locked—no words needed.

Though they were the closest of sisters, their goals differed, forcing them onto opposing sides.

Luo Shuning, meanwhile, didn’t care much about the game. Right now, her mind was entirely occupied by the thought of sharing a bed with her brother tonight.

Once the lights were off, if she could sleep right next to him… wouldn’t she just naturally end up hugging him?

The mere idea made her giddy.

"Let's wait for Ximan to finish her bath first. We should ask for her opinion." Luo Shuhe didn't impulsively confront Luo Shuling but chose to wait for Gu Ximan, who might be an ally.

In this two-against-one situation, rash opposition was clearly unwise.

"O Kun O Kun."

Luo Shuling flashed an OK sign and then immediately flopped onto Gu Luo's pillow, though her posture was a bit awkward.

Hearing the little sun spout her catchphrase, Gu Luo couldn’t help but chuckle. He turned to the three sisters and asked, "Are you guys hungry? If you are, I can make some midnight snacks."

In his eyes, everything was peaceful and perfect.

Hearing this, Luo Shuning smiled and suggested, "Brother, why don’t we go cut some fruit?"

"Yeah, sounds good."

Gu Luo stood up from his gaming chair and walked out of the bedroom side by side with Luo Shuning.

As soon as they descended the stairs, Luo Shuning eagerly said,

"Little Treasure, I want to sleep next to you tonight."

"Sure thing, Big Treasure."

Gu Luo agreed without hesitation.

"Hehe." Luo Shuning couldn’t contain her joy. Before they even reached the kitchen, she stood on her tiptoes on the stairs, wrapped her arms tightly around him, and planted a firm kiss on his lips.

Meanwhile, back in Gu Luo’s bedroom...

Once the two had left, Luo Shuhe immediately asked with a cold expression,

"Shuling, aren’t you being a bit too reckless?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Luo Shuling blinked her big, innocent eyes.

"Don’t play dumb. You know exactly what I mean."

Luo Shuhe tapped her fingers rhythmically on the desk, her voice icy. "I advise you not to entertain those unrealistic ideas, or this family will fall apart sooner or later."

Hearing this, Luo Shuling still wore a puzzled expression, scratching her short hair that barely reached her shoulders. She asked in genuine confusion,

"Shuhe... what exactly are you talking about?"

"What unrealistic ideas?"

"And why would the family fall apart?"

"No need to be so cautious. I’m not recording." Luo Shuhe fixed her intense gaze on Luo Shuling and said word by word,

"Shuling, you’re the sister I cherish the most. I know everything you do is for our sake."

"But."

"Your thoughts are too outrageous. I firmly oppose them."

"When it comes to my feelings for Gu Luo, I’ll decide for myself."
