Anyway, when her grandparents saw her covered in mud, bleeding, and crying uncontrollably, they were almost dumbfounded, and her uncle almost beat her to death.
Although she was still some distance from home, Gu Luoqi spotted two familiar figures from a great distance.
Whenever she comes, her grandparents will be waiting at the door early.
As soon as the car came to a stop, she couldn't wait to run over and give her grandmother a big hug.
She buried her head in her grandmother's arms, mumbling incoherently, "I missed you all so much."
"Has my sweetie eaten yet?" Grandma smiled kindly and patted her head affectionately.
When speaking to her own grandmother, Gu Luoqi didn't need to be polite, saying, "Not yet."
Grandpa spotted Qi Sheng following behind Uncle Gu at a glance and said with a smile, "This must be Xiao Sheng."
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma." Qi Sheng stepped forward to greet them, though he seemed a little reserved.
Seeing his well-behaved appearance, his grandfather had a very good first impression of Qi Sheng.
He chuckled and said, "Good boy, come in and eat first."
“Yes, the food will get cold if we don’t go in soon,” Grandma said quickly.
They had prepared a meal for them long ago, just in case they hadn't eaten on the way.
As they entered the house, Gu Luoqi patted Qi Sheng on the shoulder from behind, saying, "Don't be nervous, just make yourself at home."
"Okay." Qi Sheng's eyes were smiling.
Seeing how reserved he was, she finally felt a sense of relief, realizing that even he had things he couldn't handle.
However, it's too early to say that.
At the dinner table, the group chatted back and forth, but all showed their enthusiasm for Qi Sheng.
In particular, Qi Sheng was polite yet courteous, answering their questions fluently and even preparing gifts for everyone.
The group became more lenient towards Qi Sheng.
Anyway, after the meal, the group was full of praise for Qi Sheng, as if the place had become his home turf again.
In response, Gu Luoqi could only say that being ostracized was her fate.
But who can blame them when Qi Sheng is indeed a well-behaved child that elders would especially like?
Well, he's the younger brother, so she'll be a little more tolerant.
But why do I still feel a little uneasy?
This emotion reached its peak the following day.
The next morning, as soon as Gu Luoqi got up, she saw Qi Sheng practicing Tai Chi with her maternal grandfather.
The other person looked focused and serious, and the grandfather was very pleased with this obedient student's behavior.
"You got up so early?" She was completely shocked.
Doesn't this guy get tired? He traveled such a long way yesterday, and he must be exhausted from the journey. Doesn't he need to rest more?
Qi Sheng only spoke when she saw her coming over, "I'm used to it."
However, he didn't say it directly. He has always been a heavy sleeper and is particular about his bed, so he almost always needs a few days to adjust when he goes to a new place.
"Okay." Gu Luoqi indicated that she understood.
But seeing how much her grandparents liked him, she wasn't going to be outdone. For example, right now, although she wasn't practicing Tai Chi with them, she was clapping.
Her effusive flattery made Grandpa so happy he was practically beside himself.
I was in such a good mood that I ate an extra bowl of rice at noon that day.
The system had actually asked her why she didn't get up early and exercise with them.
But Gu Luoqi told it righteously that she must strictly follow its plan, otherwise, if she disrupted her plan, wouldn't she be letting down its good intentions?
Although her reasoning was sound and had convinced it, it still felt that something was wrong.
Gu Luoqi was paying special attention to Qi Sheng's behavior, but before she could stop him, he ran to the kitchen to help the old man cook.
However, his grandmother absolutely refused to let him do it.
Honestly, who asks someone to help in the kitchen the day after they arrive home?
Gu Luoqi knew her grandmother's temper, so she pulled Qi Sheng away.
He looked at her, somewhat puzzled. She met his sincere gaze and didn't know where to begin.
"If you keep going like this, Grandma will really get angry," she said helplessly.
My grandparents are getting old and they hate being idle.
Thinking of this, Gu Luoqi seemed to understand something. "Grandpa and Grandma are really good. Even if you are a little bit sensible, they will still like you."
Qi Sheng remained silent for a while.
Seeing his deaf attitude, Gu Luoqi felt her head was spinning and she was even more helpless. She couldn't help but sigh, "Qi Sheng, you need to learn to 'bother' others."
Fearing the other person would remain silent, she decided to take the initiative, "Quickly repeat after me, 'Okay, I understand.'"
The other person was silent for a moment before speaking, "Okay, I understand."
Gu Luoqi felt that she was being a bit unreasonable, and the other party was still somewhat unwilling.
She recalled the dream she had before, and a chill ran through her.
Could Qi Sheng have really had such a miserable childhood?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could she dream of Qi Sheng as a child? It's not some terrifying supernatural event.
But without realizing it, she couldn't help but pay attention to this matter again.
Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to know very little about what happened before Qi Sheng came to her house.
She secretly remembered this and decided to ask her father and Aunt Qi about it later.
Knowing that Gu Luoqi and her family were coming, Gu Luoqi's aunt also rushed back with her son.
Gu Luoqi's uncle's family has always been very good to her.
When her aunt arrived, she even abandoned her own son, holding her hand and asking her all sorts of questions, and of course, she didn't forget Qi Sheng either.
Having finally escaped her overly enthusiastic aunt, she looked at her timid little cousin.
A chubby little boy, fair-skinned and plump, looks about the same age as Cheng Cheng's younger brother, only much younger, less than four years old.
But why do I seem like I don't know her well?
They clearly video chat all the time.
Could my cousin be a little socially awkward? But he doesn't seem like it from the video.
Gu Luoqi decided to bribe him with snacks, "Little cousin, do you still remember me?"
As soon as she took out her secret weapon, her little cousin's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and grabbed his older cousin's hand, saying, "Hello, Sister Luo! You've finally come to my house to play!"
Because her uncles and the others never called her by her full name, the little girl always thought that Gu Luoqi's surname was Luo.
"Hmm, have you missed your cousin?" Gu Luoqi waved the thing in her hand.
"Yes, I really want to." My cousin nodded readily.
Gu Luoqi decided to tease the adorable little guy, "How much do you want to?"
My little cousin thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any adjectives. "Thinking about it makes me hungry. Anyway, I like Sister Luo the most."
Gu Luoqi couldn't help but chuckle. She knew this guy was also a glutton, so she didn't tease him any further and instead handed him the food.
The little guy's eyes widened at this moment. "Thank you, Sister Luo." He even moved closer to her and kissed her when she wasn't paying attention, leaving Gu Luoqi's face covered in drool.
