“Ha… what a headache. It’s only 12:30 PM, and I haven’t slept enough yet.”
Gu Lian rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room she shared with Yi Yi.
During those two days in the Mountain Kingdom, in order to deal with Weikede, she really hadn’t slept more than two hours a day, staying on high alert the entire time.
If not for her strong physique, she might have suddenly dropped dead.
“Aba? Sister Lian, aren’t you coming to eat? Before going out to buy groceries, Uncle Xiong asked me to tell you that if you wake up, you should eat the food he left.”
Hearing Yi Yi’s words, Gu Lian turned her gaze to the dining table. On the table were soy milk, fried dough sticks, and a bowl of Vermicelli Noodles. It looked delicious… Wait.
Gu Lian’s eyes narrowed. She shifted her gaze back to Yi Yi, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and said, “Did you just call him Uncle Xiong?”
“?!”
Yi Yi, holding the remote, stiffened. She remembered the scene last night when Gu Lian chased her for three minutes, and her body instinctively shuddered.
And she specifically hit her on the butt, not like Yao Yao who would spoil her in everything!
Spoil when needed, hit when needed. Although it wasn’t very painful, Yi Yi was still a bit afraid of Gu Lian, like a younger sister afraid of her older sister.
Gu Lian rolled up her sleeves, sat on the sofa, and snatched the remote from the coffee table. She stuffed it into her pocket and said, “Today, I won’t let you use the remote to watch TV. I’ve told you how many times? You should call Uncle Xiong ‘Grandpa’!”
“But didn’t you just call him Uncle Xiong as well? You called him Uncle Xiong.”
Yi Yi stood up from the sofa, hands on her hips, trying to look down on Gu Lian with her height.
Gu Lian scratched inside her collar, then expressionlessly grabbed Yi Yi by the back of the collar. Her arm muscles slightly bulged as she pressed down, pushing Yi Yi back onto the sofa. “Keep being naughty, and when I bring Yao Yao over, I’ll have her deal with you!”
“Ah, Sister Lian, I’m sorry, okay?”
“…”
Yi Yi instantly changed her face and apologized. Gu Lian narrowed her eyes slightly, let go of Yi Yi’s collar, and looked at her with amusement. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure!”
Yi Yi nodded seriously, but Gu Lian didn’t believe her. Yi Yi was the typical type who wouldn’t listen to anything you said, would instantly chicken out when caught, shouting “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again,” but would do it again next time.
“Can I swear it?”
“…”
Gu Lian picked up her backpack from the sofa and walked toward the door. She pressed the handle and opened the wooden door, followed by a bang as the door closed. As soon as her footsteps faded away, Yi Yi, who had been acting like a good girl, immediately jumped up on the sofa, hands on her hips, and stuck out her tongue at the door:
“I called him Uncle Xiong. You also called him Uncle Xiong, so why can’t I call him that?”
“So, what you said just now was a lie?”
Gu Lian poked her head out from the hallway and looked at Yi Yi with annoyance. She knew that with Yi Yi’s mischievous nature, she would definitely be naughty again.
What dream of being an idol? All bullshit. This brat is just bored and wants to cause trouble, that’s why she says she wants to be an idol.
Gu Lian’s return made Yi Yi freeze. She decisively lay back on the sofa, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
After staring at Yi Yi for a moment, Gu Lian’s head slowly retreated back into the hallway. With a bang, the room fell silent.
After about two minutes, Yi Yi got up from the sofa and came to the hallway. Seeing it empty, she immediately felt bold again. She stuck out her tongue at the door and said, “I will call him Uncle Xiong, so what?!”
“You’re absolutely right, so I can give you a beating.”
Gu Lian’s voice came from outside the door. With a bang, she pushed open the wooden door, looked at the stunned Yi Yi, clicked her tongue, and closed the door again.
“Ah ba ba ba…”
Yi Yi was stunned for a few minutes, then lay flat on the floor. Another quarter of an hour passed, and feeling that Gu Lian might have left, she got up again.
She pushed open the wooden door, saw no one in the hallway, quickly ran up the stairs, confirmed no one upstairs or downstairs, then returned to the room.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden hue on the coffee table. In the light, tiny floating particles could be seen.
Yi Yi was about to be naughty again but forcefully stopped herself. She looked at the cartoon still playing, spread her hands, and sighed. “Forget it, I’ll just watch TV peacefully.”
Knock, knock, knock—
The sound of fingers tapping on glass came from outside the window. Yi Yi’s body stiffened. She turned her head stiffly toward the window.
She saw Gu Lian hanging upside down outside the window, only her inverted head visible. Yi Yi was immediately stunned, feeling that the whole world had gone wrong.
“Stop being so fucking naughty. Yao Yao and I will indulge you, but others might not.”
If one day you break your leg being naughty, then you’ll know you were wrong… Gu Lian, hanging from the ceiling, let go and landed back on the ground. She had things to do today, so she wouldn’t keep messing around with Yi Yi.
Half an hour later, at the Linjiao Swimming Base, Gu Lian, who had already changed into a school swimsuit work uniform, took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. But the pink blush on her cheeks indicated that her current emotions were unstable.
She used to be a professional killer. She had no emotions. This is just a small scene. Don’t panic… don’t panic… like hell! Which genius designed this work uniform?!
Tell me the address, I want to greet them with bullets in real life!
Adjacent to the staff locker room were two pools of different sizes. At the moment, only children and a few adults with children were swimming in the small pool. Given the situation in the small pool, it really only needed one person who could swim to watch over it.
Gu Lian walked out of the staff locker room, stepped on the wet non-slip rough stone floor, climbed onto the lifeguard’s designated lookout, reached out to grab the whistle hanging by the chair, put it around her neck, and began today’s work.
But before she could relax for long, several gazes scanned her up and down. However, these eyes lingered a little longer on her thighs and face.
Gu Lian turned her head and glared fiercely at a man who was looking at her with lecherous eyes. The veins on her forehead bulged.
Seeming to realize something was off, the man shook his head with slight disappointment, glanced back at her, put on an awkward but polite smile, turned and jumped into the deep pool, muttering, “Face 98 points, body 93 points, personality 90 points. Pretty enough, spicy enough, but the only flaw is that she’s too flat, just like an airport runway.”
Too flat… too flat…
Just like an airport runway…
Crack~
The veins on her forehead started throbbing. Gu Lian didn’t know why, but now she felt even angrier!
She must have had a brain cramp to choose this job. Besides being a bit easy, what’s good about it?
