"Fine, fine." The system had lost its temper after being worn down.

They chatted casually, and before they knew it, they were near the school.

Mr. Gu smiled kindly and said, "How about we drop you off here?"

Gu Luoqi's eyes widened; her father's behavior was constantly redefining her understanding of him.

This laziness is too obvious.

"Dad, you're not serious, are you?" she said, troubled.

“Every time I enter your school, it takes half an hour to get out. Do you think your dad has a lot of free time?” Mr. Gu said with a reluctant expression.

“Dad…” Gu Luoqi said with a resentful look. As far as she knew, her father would never be in a hurry to save a few minutes.

“Luo Xi, you’re old enough to understand things now. You need to learn to be self-reliant. Besides, look at Xiao Sheng, he hasn’t said anything.” Father Gu tried to reason with him, though that was just his opinion.

He turned to look at Aunt Qi, "Don't you think so?"

"But..." Aunt Qi also felt that a few minutes wouldn't make a difference, and besides, today wasn't a workday...

However, she saw that Gu's father was frantically giving her meaningful glances, his face looking like it was twitching, which forced her to shut her mouth.

"Yes, you're right." Aunt Qi was forced to agree, of course, entirely out of fear that someone would have a cramp.

Gu Luoqi: "..." Aunt Qi, if you are being coerced, please blink.

"No, Qi Sheng has objections." She planned to borrow Qi Sheng's name.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, this guy did seem to be more popular with her father than she was.

Upon hearing this, Gu's father seemed to hesitate. Gu Luoxi looked at him and thought, "Good heavens, there's no love left in the world. She's definitely not his biological daughter."

"It's alright if Uncle doesn't have time, I don't mind." Qi Sheng had a faint smile on his face.

Of course, he didn't take Gu Luoqi's thoughts into consideration at all.

Gu Luoqi angrily retorted, "You traitor!" Fine, they're no longer on the same side.

Let's break off our friendship, oh no, let's fight to the death.

"If I remember correctly, you've never had diplomatic relations." The system coldly shattered her baseless fantasy.

Break off relations? They wouldn't give her that chance at all.

Qi Sheng met Gu Luoqi's murderous gaze and said fearlessly, "I don't think I ever said I wanted to join you." So calling me a traitor is a serious matter.

Don't wear hats indiscriminately.

Although he didn't look to be in good condition, he spoke clearly and logically, completely unaffected.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's make this decision amicably," said Mr. Gu with a beaming smile, his face radiating an innocent charm.

"No, I have an objection." Gu Luoqi said with a defiant look.

He even gave Qi Sheng, who had no backbone, a particularly disdainful look.

"It's not up to you." Mr. Gu completely ignored Gu Luoqi's small opinion.

Gu Luoqi: "..." I'm fucking speechless.

"Alright, get out of the car now," Mr. Gu said impatiently.

As a person with backbone, Gu Luoqi opened the car door directly.

Ha, who does she think she is? Let's just leave it at that. She doesn't care.

She got off the car full of energy, her eyes filled with an excitement she herself didn't even realize.

Arrived at school...

Qi Sheng got down silently, her steps somewhat hurried.

Looking at the staggering figure, Gu Luoqi suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

"Aren't they pitiful?" the system retorted.

Look how thin this boy is.

"Are you alright?" Gu Luoqi tried her best to maintain a 'concerned' expression on her face.

Actually, I couldn't control the schadenfreude in my heart. Ha, what an idiot, why did she have to get off the car instead of sitting in it? I didn't want her to do that.

Qi Sheng's face was still somewhat pale. "I'm fine," he said, his eyes as dark as ink.

“Oh,” Gu Luoqi replied.

Yes, she's much more comfortable now. She has fulfilled her humanitarian obligations.

System: Pshaw, that's fake.

"Since you've all gotten off, we'll be leaving now." Mr. Gu's tone was relaxed and cheerful, as if he had gotten rid of some big trouble.

However, Gu Luoqi said she would get used to his attitude.

"Let's go, let's go." Gu Luoqi said impatiently.

Mr. Gu, of course, didn't stand on ceremony with them and drove away without looking back.

Looking at the two helpless people in the rearview mirror, Aunt Qi felt a pang of pity. "Is it really okay for you to be so heartless?"

Since neither of her children were present, Aunt Qi spoke much more boldly.

Mr. Gu, who was described as "unethical," looked completely unconcerned. "I'm unethical? How come he doesn't know that himself?"

"You don't need these few minutes." Aunt Qi rolled her eyes without any regard for her image.

Having lived together for so many years, how could she not understand him?

Unethical is unethical, no explanation needed.

"Don't you have any self-awareness?" Aunt Qi said indifferently.

"I'm just giving the children time to be alone," said Mr. Gu, looking aggrieved and giving Aunt Qi a look that said, "I'm very disappointed in you."

Instead of receiving the praise he deserved, he was criticized by his wife, which made him feel very wronged.

"I advise you not to get involved in these crooked and unethical practices." Aunt Qi didn't approve of Mr. Gu's behavior.

Luo Xi is a rather extreme and rebellious child, so this might backfire.

Mr. Gu said mysteriously, "Sigh, you wouldn't understand."

...

Gu Luoqi, who was left standing there, was almost driven crazy by her father.

Although it's only a few minutes' walk from the school, she has two suitcases, okay?

How could such a delicate and fragile young girl possibly win her over?

System: "Master, it's good to be confident, but sometimes you also need to have self-awareness." To put it simply, you need to have some self-respect.

"Can't I express my thoughts and feelings?" Gu Luoqi said coldly.

Okay, okay, why not? The system shut up, choosing silence to express its resistance.

Gu Luoxi looked at Qi Sheng, who had nothing but a backpack, and wondered, "Does this guy only have this much stuff?"

"Is this all you have?" She made no attempt to suppress her doubts.

"I've brought everything I need." Qi Sheng's expression remained unchanged, her face calm, as if she had no idea what the other woman was wondering about.

"Are you kidding me?" Gu Luoqi looked at the two large suitcases in front of her.

This is not scientific, it's completely unscientific.

Surely no one can pack all their school supplies into a single backpack.

This guy must have a personal space.

After all, if she can have a system, then it's not surprising that he can have a personal space. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Host, what's on your mind all day?" The system sensed her thoughts and had to speak up for science, correcting her off-track ideas.

Portable space?

This seems to be a mistake. They live in an era of materialism, so wouldn't it be better to leave these strange and wonderful things like personal space in fantasy novels?

"Okay, I guess I was just being too imaginative." Gu Luoqi watched helplessly as the system erased the idea that had just popped into her head.
