"Get some rest after you're all packed up, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Hmm." Gu Luoqi began to organize her textbooks.
She placed her precious homework at the bottom, the result of several days of overtime work. She almost worked through the night yesterday, and if the system hadn't forced her into a state of insomnia at the end, she felt she could have persevered a little longer.
If she forgets to bring it, she'll explode on the spot.
Aunt Qi also started to get busy, packing her clothes.
Her movements were methodical and pleasing to the eye, a true blessing for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder, leaving Gu Luoqi completely stunned.
After she finished tidying up her homework, she would occasionally pass things to Aunt Qi.
"We'll take you and Xiaosheng home tomorrow," Aunt Qi said as she tidied up.
"Okay, has he finished packing?" Gu Luoqi asked with a hint of doubt.
Why did Aunt Qi help herself instead of him?
"Yes, he had it all sorted out a long time ago," Aunt Qi said, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Xiao Sheng is a wonderful child in every way, except that she's just too sensible...
"Oh." Gu Luoqi wasn't too surprised; it was perfectly reasonable.
Aunt Qi seemed to remember something, her eyes filled with heartache.
Gu Luoxi saw it all. Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask. Her intuition told her that it was about Qi Sheng.
Interrupted by this little incident, neither of them continued speaking, but the atmosphere did not feel awkward.
"It's almost done. Pack your things and get some rest." Aunt Qi closed the suitcase and zipped it up.
Although Gu Luoqi had a lot of things, and they were messy, she managed to organize them into just two suitcases, one large and one small.
Gu Luoqi's face showed a hint of admiration. "Okay, thank you." Such efficiency was something she could only dream of.
Aunt Qi was somewhat moved by her appearance, and her voice softened a bit, "You're welcome."
After seeing Aunt Qi off, Gu Luoxi collapsed onto the bed. "No, I have to sleep. I feel like my eyelids are drooping."
It's because I stayed up too late doing my homework yesterday.
"The host's body has been detected to be in a state of high fatigue. Please take a rest."
Gu Luoqi forced herself to wash up, then lay on the bed, half-dead.
...
She was woken up early in the morning by a knock on the door. She frowned, turned over slightly, and showed no intention of getting up.
Even the system couldn't stand it anymore, saying, "Host, it's time to wake up."
Of course, the voice was too gentle, and Gu Luoqi clearly didn't intend to pay attention to it.
"Ten seconds, forced wake-up countdown, ten, nine..."
As soon as the sound rang out, Gu Luoqi's eyes widened immediately.
My spirits lifted instantly.
"Stop reading, I'm perfectly lucid." Her voice carried a hint of fear; she hadn't forgotten how miserable her forced awakening had been.
"Okay, host." Seeing that its goal had been achieved, the system stopped the countdown.
The knocking sounded again, and she couldn't ignore it. "Wait a minute, I'm coming," she said, her voice tinged with impatience.
Please forgive her awful morning grumpiness.
She opened the door, her eyes slightly uncomfortable. She squinted, then looked up and saw the handsome young man in front of her.
The boy was dressed in black casual clothes, which made his body appear slender and gave him a slightly ascetic air.
The wisps of hair on her forehead were slightly messy, making one want to reach out and ruffle them.
"Let's eat." The boy's voice was deep and pleasant.
He frowned slightly as he looked at the guy in front of him, who was wearing loose pajamas, had messy hair, an oily face, and even eye boogers.
Gu Luoqi was stunned for a moment, then realized her sloppy appearance, and suddenly blushed, "Okay, okay."
Then he immediately closed the door, leaving Qi Sheng outside.
Qi Sheng didn't notice her unusual behavior; in any case, he had completed the task his aunt had given him.
Gu Luoxi: I was wondering why I was so kind as to invite her to dinner.
"System, how do I look now?" Gu Luoqi asked dejectedly.
Because she probably already knew the answer.
So, was she just rejected by someone?
"Does the host want to hear a professional analysis?" the system asked.
She was right about one thing: she was indeed being disliked.
"Hmm." Gu Luoqi was still unwilling to give up.
"Analyzing the host's personal image, please wait—the host's current image is extremely poor, it can be described as utterly appalling..." The system's report was very professional.
Gu Luoqi's face fell. Well, after listening to the system, she could give up now.
She dragged her weary body to wash up, then quickly tidied herself up before going out to prepare for dinner.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was met with Gu's father's disapproving gaze. "Why are you dawdling over your meal? You have to be invited by several people over and over again just to eat."
“Young man, it’s normal to sleep in.” Aunt Qi glared at Mr. Gu, seemingly very dissatisfied with his attitude.
Gu Luoqi felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and gave her father a reproachful glare.
She felt wronged to be scolded so early in the morning.
Mr. Gu glanced at his daughter, then continued, "Then why was Xiao Sheng able to get up?"
Qi Sheng, who was called out for no reason, calmly ate his food, but lowered his head a little.
Gu Luoqi felt even more uncomfortable after hearing her father's words. "Dad, I stayed up all night to finish my homework!"
Then he glared at Qi Sheng and thought, "Hmph, this gloating guy is utterly despicable."
Why doesn't this young man sleep more? His sleep schedule is like that of an old man.
System: Good grief, they're starting to look down on us instead.
Seeing other people's children right in front of her, she said her feelings were very complicated.
"You think you have a right to not write properly during your vacation?" Mr. Gu said, somewhat exasperated.
How come you're still like this even though you're a senior in high school?
Then I found Qi Sheng next to me more and more pleasing to the eye.
Gu Luoxi: I feel like I'm not their biological child, Qi Sheng is.
Qi Sheng remained remarkably calm throughout the entire process, without changing his expression.
She had no idea that she had inexplicably incurred Gu Luoqi's wrath again.
Aunt Qi couldn't stand it anymore. "Alright, let's eat first. We have to go to school later."
When Gu's father saw that his wife had spoken, he shut up, and Gu Luoqi obediently went over and sat down, slowly starting to eat.
After finishing his meal, Mr. Gu stood up contentedly. "I'll go prepare first. After you finish eating, please get your luggage ready."
"Okay." Qi Sheng slowly finished the last bite of food, put down his utensils, and stood up as well.
"Okay, okay, wait until I finish eating." Gu Luoqi wolfed down her food, as if someone was trying to steal it from her.
In Xiao Chengzi's words, this guy's eating style is very infectious, carrying a kind of primal animalistic quality.
Seeing this, Aunt Qi looked helpless and said, "Eat slowly, we're not in a hurry." Then she poured her a glass of water, afraid that she would choke if she ate too fast.
Gu Luoqi chewed something, her words slightly slurred, "...Thank you." Then, quite boldly, after swallowing the food, she took several large gulps of water.
