Asking for a Reward

After feeding the last spoonful of yogurt into Luo Shuling's mouth, Gu Luo stayed with her to watch half an episode of a soap opera.

The TV was currently airing a cliché scene where the female lead misunderstood the male lead. Luo Shuling hugged a pillow, laughing so hard she nearly toppled over.

Only then did he slowly stand up, preparing to head to Luo Shuning's bedroom to share the good news.

With this, his cheap dad, Aunt Luo, Little Man, and Luo Shuling had all approved of their relationship.

The only one left was Luo Shuhe.

His mind drifted back to that cold, lonely figure he’d seen in the hallway of the club building that afternoon—Luo Shuhe had turned and walked away without even looking back, her black hair swaying gently in the breeze.

His heart ached all over again.

Gu Luo used to not understand how some people could love one person while also being attracted to others.

He assumed it simply meant they didn’t truly love the first person.

But now, he understood—deeply felt the complexity and contradiction of it all.

Emotions had no logic.

At the end of the day, humans were just animals, driven by desire.

Most people’s outward words and inner thoughts were often different, sometimes even polar opposites.

Hence the saying—judge a person by their actions, not their thoughts, for if judged by thoughts alone, no one in this world would be perfect.

Most who loudly proclaimed their devotion to "pure love" were, in essence, simply incapable of charming multiple partners at once.

Of course, there might be saints in this world, but he certainly wasn’t one of them.

Once everything was settled this Sunday, he’d take his little angel and arrange a private meeting with the little devil to sort out their feelings.

Gu Luo desperately wanted to be with both Luo Shuning and her sister, but reality made it impossible.

He couldn’t even get past a single family member’s disapproval.

Even his little sunshine would never agree.

“Haa…”

He exhaled deeply, splashing cold water on his face in the bathroom to steady himself before walking straight to Luo Shuning’s door and giving it a light knock.

Before long, the door opened.

Standing there was Luo Shuning, dressed in a red strapless nightgown.

Her delicate collarbones and flawless jade-like skin were so mesmerizing he couldn’t tear his eyes away—he wanted to sink his teeth into her.

Gu Luo froze for a moment, suddenly recalling the scene of his little angel playing "Looking Forward to a Future with You" in her room, the melody lingering in the air, her beauty outshining even flowers.

“...Come in first, then stare.”

Noticing Gu Luo’s intense gaze, Luo Shuning blushed and gently pulled him into her room.

Then, with a tender smile, she said, “Sweetheart, you don’t need to knock next time. Just come right in.”

Once inside, Gu Luo snapped out of his daze and instinctively replied, “That’s not right… What if you’re changing or something…”

“...It’s fine.”

Luo Shuning led him to sit on the soft bed, her voice barely above a whisper as she admitted, “You’ve already seen everything there is to see… even… down there… So why be shy now…?”

“Ahem…”

It was true.

They’d already bathed together and played those embarrassing shower games.

Watching his little angel change clothes was nothing in comparison.

Still, he’d knock for courtesy’s sake.

Gu Luo didn’t press the issue, instead wrapping an arm around Luo Shuning’s slender waist with a smirk. “I’ve got good news, baby. Little Man and Shuling both support us.”

“Really?!”

Luo Shuning was overjoyed, immediately pushing Gu Luo onto the bed and planting several loud “MUA” kisses on his lips, her excitement palpable.

“Of course. I had to put in a lot of effort just now, sweetheart. So… hehe…”

Gu Luo’s hands began wandering, clearly hinting at a reward.

Understanding his meaning, Luo Shuning leaned down, her warm breath brushing his ear as she murmured,

“Mm… it’s not the best time now, but when we go home tomorrow… let’s take a nice long bath together… okay~?”

Her voice was laced with temptation, sweet as candy, melting Gu Luo’s heart.

The atmosphere in the room grew even more intimate.
