Luo Zhirou’s body went stiff, her eyes dazed for a moment. Two seconds later, she returned to her usual composed demeanor.
After a while, sensing her best friend’s sudden silence, Bai Jingyu glanced over.
She saw Luo Zhirou propping her chin with one hand, gazing out the window in a daze.
The Luo Zhirou before her had a perfect side profile—a straight nose, fair skin, and long lashes that seemed to capture one’s gaze. Her figure was slender, and though her bust wasn’t as formidable as Bai Jingyu’s, the curve from her waist to her long legs was flawless.
What left the deepest impression, however, was Luo Zhirou’s temperament.
A few strands of hair by her forehead fell along the soft curve of her cheek to her chin. Her clear eyes sparkled, her dark brows were relaxed, and her red lips seemed dusted with a thin layer of snow. One glance was enough to recognize her as an elegant, dignified, and intelligent woman.
But to Bai Jingyu, she was a friend who needed to be watched.
Because her younger brother was attracted to women with exactly this kind of temperament—for instance, her little aunt.
However, compared to Luo Zhirou, the little aunt had an extra touch of nobility.
Along the way, Luo Zhirou occasionally brought up topics, but she seemed distracted until they reached the hotel she was staying at.
“Zhirou, if anything comes up, just contact me,” Bai Jingyu said.
For Bai Jingyu, what she shared with this best friend was mostly a common interest.
Because both women had a special fondness for the younger brother in their hearts. But unlike her, her best friend’s younger brother had disappeared for over a decade.
“Mm, I really troubled Xiao Yu today…”
Luo Zhirou smiled and waved at her good friend until Bai Jingyu’s figure disappeared. Then she slowly closed the door.
thump.
She leaned against the door. At that moment, she grabbed her left arm with her right hand, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
“A Luo… Finally, I finally found you…”
Her voice quivered as she whispered excitedly.
Even tears of joy streamed uncontrollably from her beautiful eyes due to overwhelming excitement.
‘For over ten years, I’ve been sending people to investigate A Luo’s traces, but it was as if an invisible hand had erased all signs—I couldn’t find anything at all.’
‘No wonder, no wonder I couldn’t find him no matter what.’
‘So he was adopted by Aunt Qin. That explains everything.’
‘But—’
Luo Zhirou bit her lip.
‘That means I’ll have to go against my good friend…’
‘No!’
‘Even if it’s Xiao Yu, I absolutely won’t let go!’
“Sorry, Xiao Yu…”
Everything will be fine.
Qin Luo was very happy.
The moment the points hit his account, he immediately changed his ID—Hydro-Electric Mini Motor.
Beyond that, his ultimate dream was—Qin Sun Never Sets (Luo).
It was every man’s dream. But right now, he was only mastering Qi cultivation; this would have to be done step by step. Take too big a step, and you’d tear something.
Soon, two bowls of beef noodles were ready, along with a few stir-fried side dishes.
Hearing the sound of the door opening at the entrance, he knew his sister was home.
The moment she stepped through the door, Qin Luo experienced what it meant to be suffocated in a hug.
***
He noticed something was off with his sister.
The arms of the mature woman hugging him tightened continuously, with such force it felt like she wanted to meld him into her body, greedily breathing in Qin Luo’s scent.
“Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, you have to stay by sister’s side forever!”
For some reason, after meeting Luo Zhirou today, Bai Jingyu suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
Because the other woman possessed exactly the temperament that she herself lacked—and Xiao Luo happened to be attracted to that kind of temperament.
However, recalling Xiao Luo’s recent bold moves toward her, Bai Jingyu’s heart suddenly raced.
But now wasn’t the time. She had to be patient.
“Phew—”
After calming down, Bai Jingyu slowly released her embrace.
“Sis, what happened?” Qin Luo looked at his sister, who was acting strangely compared to usual.
Although he claimed to dislike his sister, in truth, he was quite worried about her.
After all, his sister and little aunt were his most cherished family.
sniff sniff.
Moreover, on his sister’s body, he caught a different fragrance.
It wasn’t his sister’s usual scent, nor his little aunt’s—it was the scent of sunshine.
‘Hmm…’
‘I feel like I’ve forgotten something important.’
By the time they started eating, the noodles had already become a bit clumpy, showing how long Bai Jingyu had held Qin Luo at the entrance.
After washing up, Qin Luo obediently served as a body pillow, but this time, it was Bai Jingyu who seemed distracted.
Suddenly, she put down her phone and looked at the younger brother in her arms, who immediately switched his screen upon noticing her gaze.
“Xiao Luo, what would you do if suddenly a woman showed up and claimed to be your sister?”
“Huh?”
Qin Luo thought he had been caught watching a catgirl video, but hearing this question, a big question mark appeared over his head.
‘A sister suddenly appearing?’
‘What kind of joke is that? I’m an only child.’
‘Where would I get a sister? It’s only after being adopted by Little Aunt that I got one.’
Qin Luo was very satisfied with this train of thought.
“Of course I wouldn’t believe it. I only have one sister, and that’s you, sis!”
However, upon hearing this answer, Bai Jingyu would normally be very satisfied and even reward her brother with a soft kiss.
But this time, she still felt restless.
Then, Bai Jingyu accidentally caught a glimpse of her brother’s phone screen.
“Hm?”
whoosh. The phone in Qin Luo’s hand was snatched away by a slender hand.
“Hey, hey, sis, what are you doing with my phone?” He tried to grab it back, starting to get up and reach out, but Bai Jingyu held the boy down with one hand.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at the screen, a flicker of displeasure passing through them.
“Little mutt, how dare you change the name I gave you?”
As she spoke, her other hand rapidly tapped the screen.
Soon, Sister’s Most Loyal Little Underling was restored.
And the twenty points Qin Luo had just earned on his account were gone as well.
“No! Sis, give it back!” Qin Luo saw her fingers moving quickly and knew she was definitely changing the name back.
However, his protests were clearly futile in Bai Jingyu’s eyes.
Soon, she handed the phone back to her brother, satisfied.
“Here, remember, you’re not allowed to change this name without permission. Otherwise, big sister won’t mind giving her dear little brother a proper punishment.”
She pinched the boy’s cheek and warned.
Seeing that his account name had been changed back and his points were gone, Qin Luo thought, ‘Damn it!’
‘I can’t take this anymore!’
Qin Luo broke free from her embrace and said fiercely, “Bai Jingyu! A gentleman would rather die than be humiliated! Take this!”
Seeing her brother charging at her aggressively, Bai Jingyu was very calm.
She immediately raised her legs, clamped them around her brother’s waist, then wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed him down.
The previously furious Qin Luo instantly deflated.
He started struggling and making whimpering sounds, begging for mercy.
“Heh! A disobedient little mutt needs to accept punishment properly.”
Bai Jingyu showed no mercy, ignoring her brother’s pleas.
A few minutes later, Qin Luo was half-lying on the sofa, gasping for breath.
‘So scary. I feel completely drained.’
“Still dare to be disrespectful to your big sister?”
“No, no, I don’t dare.”
