Opening Game

Although Gu Luo really wanted to share a bed with his four younger sisters, reality simply wouldn’t allow it. After weighing all the options, choosing to sleep in the living room was undoubtedly the safest and most practical solution for the time being.

Otherwise, he’d risk offending the little devil and the little tsundere.

While the little devil, Luo Shuhe, was still relatively easy to get along with, if the little tsundere, Gu Ximan, really got angry, it wouldn’t be a joke.

Gu Ximan had always been headstrong, and in the future, she might come up with all sorts of ways to torment him, making his nights restless.

Better not provoke her, but he could definitely avoid trouble.

Stay out of it.

Hearing this, Luo Shuning’s smile immediately faltered slightly.

In contrast, Gu Ximan let out a small sigh of relief.

Though they hadn’t kicked out their older sisters, at least they weren’t forced to share a bed with their smelly older brother.

In the end, it was still her who had claimed the final victory.

Seeing that Gu Luo was being reasonable, Luo Shuhe cast a faint glance at Luo Shuling and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she made a decision:

“It’s a bit chilly in the living room tonight. Brother can just sleep in my room.”

Gu Luo immediately refused, coughing awkwardly, “Ah... that won’t be necessary. I’ll be fine under the blanket.”

Come on, he had already slightly embarrassed Luo Shuning; if he went to sleep in Luo Shuhe’s room now, that would really be taking advantage.

Of course, a promise is a promise. He planned to find a chance to tell Luo Shuning that later, and sneak out quietly once they were all asleep.

Though Luo Shuning felt a bit disappointed, she didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Luo Shuhe kept secretly observing Luo Shuling’s expressionless face. She could see that Luo Shuling was still putting on a carefree, smiling facade, which made her uneasy.

Luo Shuling had always been meticulous and cunning—did she have some backup plan?

But in any case, this was a successful defense against the “king of the forbidden zone.”

She had to maintain the delicate balance of this complicated relationship.

Her sister was stubborn as a mule; amidst the competition, she had to yield a little.

But Luo Shuling required constant vigilance—there was no room for relaxation.

Just as Luo Shuhe was lost in thought, Luo Shuling smiled brightly and looked at Gu Ximan, asking:

“Ximan, if four people sleep in the bed, you shouldn’t have a problem with that, right?”

Hearing this, Luo Shuhe was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Ximan nodded:

“Four people... there’s enough space. I’m fine with that.”

As long as Gu Luo wasn’t on the bed, she was okay.

“Alright then,” Luo Shuling said cheerfully, “I’ll sleep on the floor tonight. Brother is part of the family, and this is his room after all. We definitely can’t kick him out to the living room.”

She continued with a teasing smile, “Ximan, you’re closest to Brother, so you must want him to stay, right?”

Gu Ximan’s mind was spinning.

Luo Shuling was going to sleep on the floor, and now this—“You’re closest to Brother.”

With things put so plainly, how could she respond?

In the end, she could only nod awkwardly and complicatedly:

“Yes...”

“Good girl,” Luo Shuling said, then turned to Luo Shuning with a smile and asked:

“Shuning, what do you think?”

"Then I guess you’ll have to put up with me, Shuling," Luo Shuning’s smile blossomed once again on her face.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Seeing that Gu Ximan had agreed, Gu Luo naturally nodded with pleasure. "Alright then."

After a brief pause, he added, "But I’ll take the floor, okay?"

"No need. I just tried it, and your bed is way too soft for me. I can’t get used to it."

Gu Luo suddenly remembered that when Luo Shuling came into the room earlier, she had indeed lain down on the bed, but her posture was a bit awkward—it turned out she didn’t like sleeping on a soft bed.

That explanation made perfect sense, so he didn’t say anything more.

Finally, Luo Shuling looked at Luo Shuhe with a mischievous smile. "Shuhe, now that little Ximan, the youngest sister, has agreed, you as the older sister can’t make a fuss. You have to stay here, no special treatment."

"If you’re not used to having so many people around, you can sleep on the floor with me."

Hearing these words, which practically forced her into it, Luo Shuhe gave Luo Shuling a deep look but said nothing. A wave of helplessness surged in her heart.

"Great, great! Then I hereby declare the very first pajama party of the ‘Loving Family’ officially started!" Luo Shuling shouted excitedly, then held up a deck of playing cards and smiled.

"As the opening game, everyone has to pick a card and answer a truth question~~~"

She raised the cards toward Gu Ximan, who was sitting closest.

Gu Ximan blinked slightly, then instinctively picked up the first card.

Luo Shuling took it and her eyes lit up immediately. With a cheeky grin, she asked,

"Truth — Ximan, is your first kiss still a secret?"
