"Brother, brother, how are you feeling?"
"Stupid Gu Luo, stupid dad, how could you drink so much!"
"Brother Gu, are you thirsty right now?"
Gu Luo lay sideways on the living room sofa, seeing everyone as blurry duplicates, only managing a drunken grin as he mumbled, "...Agreed... agreed..."
Hearing this, Luo Shuning's heart leaped with joy, but her concern for Gu Luo quickly overshadowed it. She crouched beside him, her expression tender.
Uncle really agreed.
Ximan also had a boy she liked now, so her focus wouldn’t be entirely on Gu Luo anymore.
From here on, their relationship would progress smoothly.
"Agreed? Agreed to what? He’s just spouting drunken nonsense!" Gu Ximan huffed angrily, still fuming over her father and brother’s excessive drinking.
She crossed her arms, grumbling incessantly:
"Stupid dad, what’s wrong with you? Pouring so much alcohol down their throats."
Meanwhile, Luo Shuhe stood behind the three girls, arms folded, silently observing their guest, Lu Xuexue, her thoughts unreadable.
Just then, Gu Luo rubbed his dizzy head, his wavering gaze drifting over the five girls before finally settling on the distinctive cold tea-brown hair.
He slurred out a name:
"Xi... Ximan."
"Stupid Gu Luo, next time you—" Gu Ximan plopped down beside him, about to snap, "Next time you drink this much, I’ll hit you." But before she could finish, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.
The overpowering masculine scent mixed with the pungent smell of alcohol hit her all at once.
Her face flushed instantly.
Gu Luo rested his chin on Gu Ximan’s shoulder, arms wrapped around her, and asked in a drunken haze, "Xi... Ximan, have you... eaten yet?"
Hearing this muddled yet caring question, Gu Ximan’s heart clenched. Memories of her time with Gu Luo flashed through her mind like scenes from a movie.
Honestly, even drunk out of his mind, he’s still worried about whether I’ve eaten.
How can he be this foolish?
She hugged him back, sniffled, and forced a calm tone. "I’ve eaten, don’t worry."
Witnessing this, Lu Xuexue—the one who knew their history best—covered her small mouth with her hands, deeply moved and utterly invested in their dynamic.
This pair... this pair is absolutely meant to be!
No matter when, no matter where, Gu Ximan would always be first in Gu Luo’s heart.
As his sister, even if she didn’t have the academic excellence of the Luo sisters, couldn’t top the class in studies; even if she lacked outstanding talents, unable to shine in arts or music; even if she wasn’t gifted in sports, incapable of winning glory on the field...
First place was still first place.
First place needed no justification.
This was a love ingrained in the bones.
Lu Xuexue felt immensely relieved she’d never considered competing with Ximan.
Against such a profound sibling bond, victory was impossible.
All she had to do now was wait for the two to naturally come together. Once that happened, a few kind words from Ximan would secure her own happiness.
Suddenly, Lu Xuexue recalled a funny saying—
If you two run out of energy, I can give you a push.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
