"Luo Xi, from now on he will be your younger brother." The father smiled lovingly and reached out to take Qi Sheng's hand, but Qi Sheng dodged him.
At this time, Qi Sheng was not yet six years old. The young Qi Sheng shrank back behind Aunt Qi, her eyes filled with unfamiliar fear, as well as caution.
The father didn't seem to care, but his gaze towards Qi Sheng softened, his eyes filled with a tenderness that Gu Luoqi couldn't comprehend at that moment.
But this pity only angered Gu Luoqi. The young girl was stubborn, and looked at Qi Sheng with disgust in her eyes. She pointed her white finger at him and said, "No, I don't have a younger brother. My mother only gave birth to me, her daughter." Her displeasure was evident in her words.
"Luo Xi, you must listen to me." The father's face was filled with helplessness, and his gaze towards Aunt Qi and Qi Sheng was apologetic.
"I won't listen, I hate you all." The young girl said this and ran away, not giving them a chance to speak.
She was absorbed in her own emotions at the time and didn't notice that Qi Sheng's eyes had dimmed a bit.
The scene changed, and she seemed to have grown up a bit, but her dislike for Qi Sheng only increased. She looked coldly at the refined young man across the table: "Qi Sheng, you're annoying, you know that?"
The boy's expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion, as if he didn't understand her meaning: "Oh." He picked up the cup on the table, drank a few sips of milk, and then got up and left her sight.
There was no other action taken before that.
Or perhaps it's just become a habit.
Later, due to her busy studies and her focus on Su Yan, Gu Luoqi spent less and less time at home, and Qi Sheng also consciously avoided her. Their previous conflicts decreased a lot, but the gap between them grew wider and wider.
...
"Host, it's time for you to get up." The system noticed that it was already 7:30 in the morning, and Gu Luoqi's sleep time had reached the normal needs of the human body.
Given that the host's biological clock might not be able to adapt, it has been delayed by half an hour; otherwise, she should have gotten up at seven o'clock.
Of course, the result was obvious: its awakening had no effect on Gu Luoxi. She frowned slightly, turned over, and was completely unaffected.
"Host?" The system looked at the person sprawled out on the bed and finally understood why she had seemed hesitant to speak last night.
It seems this guy already knew he couldn't be woken up.
"Don't make noise..." Gu Luoqi muttered.
"Host, it's breakfast time. The morning reading task will begin in half an hour," the system reminded again.
Gu Luoqi didn't even open her eyes: "It's... still early." She was so tired, let her take a nap a little longer.
"Failed to wake the host again. Forced wake-up will be activated in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, preparing for forced wake-up—"
Gu Luoqi only felt that the host was quite noisy, and with her mind still in a semi-sleep state, she didn't understand what it was saying at all.
"Forced wake-up activated: I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, I'm so hungry!" The voice was so loud that Gu Luoqi was startled and jumped out of bed.
Her face was filled with terror as she frantically ruffled her hair: "001! I'm going deaf!" The voice was not only loud but also echoed, and she could only feel her head buzzing.
"Forced wake-up successful. Welcome to use the forced wake-up function again next time. If you can, please give a good review. Thank you," the system announced in a formal tone.
Gu Luoqi: "..." A good review? What are you thinking? Which despicable guy came up with this stupid feature?
Her intuition told her that the system was doing it on purpose.
"Where's the promised gentle wake-up service?" she complained, the eerie voice still echoing in her head, and she never wanted to experience it again.
The system said quite seriously, "Host, whispering won't work on you." It wasn't that it hadn't tried; it was just that she hadn't gotten up yet.
"If this continues, I'm afraid that I'll go deaf before I even finish my studies," she protested!
"Host, rest assured, all my functions are for your benefit and there is absolutely no way they could harm your health."
Gu Luoqi, unwilling to give up, asked, "What about mental health?" She was afraid that the woman might have neurasthenia.
"I come with a dedicated psychological counseling service that is available to serve the host at any time. Please issue instructions whenever needed." The system countered the situation.
"Never mind, I feel pretty good now." Gu Luoqi was no longer sleepy at all.
She sat up in bed, her face still showing signs of fatigue.
Disturbed by strange dreams, her sleep quality was actually very poor.
She went to wash up in a daze, and only after she finished did she feel much better.
"Host, it's breakfast time now. Please complete the rice task as soon as possible, and then proceed with the morning reading task."
"Hmm." Gu Luoqi thought to herself as she walked outside, wondering what she should eat.
She doesn't seem to have eaten a proper breakfast even once during the holidays.
The reason is simple: she simply can't get up. So, thinking about it this way, today is quite important; life needs a little ritual, more or less.
But what should she eat?
"Host, it seems you have no choice." The system calmly dispelled her so-called indecisiveness.
"Oh, right, I didn't have a choice at all." Gu Luoqi felt a bit of a headache.
Goodness, there's only her and Qi Sheng in this house, and neither of them seems like they know how to cook.
Then we'll just have to eat whatever's available.
I don't know if Qi Sheng is up yet. It would be a bit unfair not to call him for breakfast.
"As far as I know, your half-brother has a very regular daily routine and should be up by now," the system said calmly.
Does the host really think everyone is as lazy and good-for-nothing as her?
You're overthinking it.
