The night was hazy
The night sky was dark with scattered stars, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
Dressed in her finest attire, Gu Qingqing linked arms with Gu Mu and Gu En, and the three of them followed Gu Jin into the luxuriously decorated Cantonese restaurant.
Gu En didn't arrive home until evening. Asking for leave was quite troublesome, since he was a national athlete and couldn't just leave whenever he wanted.
"Qingqing, are you really going to be Fu Jue's adopted sister?" Gu Mu suddenly asked, this was the eleventh time he had asked.
He felt distressed whenever he thought about his sister calling other men "brother".
"Second brother, she's just a sworn sister, not a legally recognized relationship. Don't be sad, okay?" This was Gu Qingqing's eleventh attempt to comfort him. Did he really need to be so upset and find it so hard to accept?
She thought it was quite common. Many ordinary girls have one or two godbrothers. Isn't it good to have more brothers who love you?
"Qingqing..." Gu Mu felt like she was about to die. The flowers she had raised for more than ten years were about to be taken away by bad people, pot and all.
"Alright, it's not a big deal. It doesn't really matter whether we acknowledge them or not!" Gu En didn't think it was a serious matter. Although they officially recognized each other as sworn brothers and sisters tonight, it wouldn't affect the lives of the four siblings.
Fu Jue might be returning to Europe tomorrow, and it will be difficult for them to see each other again.
The naive Gu En never imagined that Fu Jue would stay in China for the rest of his life and live a wonderful and exciting life with his family, seeing each other every day.
Gu Jin led his younger siblings into the restaurant lobby, where a waiter then led them to the private room that Fu Jue had reserved.
It's a whopping 50 square meters, ridiculously large, and the decor is understated yet luxurious, with a great environment and atmosphere.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Gu, please come in." It was Assistant Yin who opened the door and warmly welcomed Gu Qingqing and her three companions into the house.
"Good evening, Assistant Yin." Gu Qingqing liked him quite a bit, and he was very polite and respectful to her.
"Qingqing, you're here! Come and sit down." As soon as Fu Jue saw her, he stood up excitedly and walked towards her. Just as he opened his arms to hug her, Gu Mu blocked him.
The scene was incredibly awkward...
"Master Fu." She looked at him awkwardly, especially when she saw him hanging in mid-air with his hands still out of reach, which made her feel even worse.
"Second brother!" She was angry, really angry.
Why is Second Brother always targeting Master Fu? He hasn't done anything wrong, so why is Second Brother treating him like this?
It made everyone feel awkward. It was only because he had a good temper that he didn't get angry; otherwise, my second brother would probably have been in trouble.
"Mr. Fu, let's go sit down first." Gu Jin pretended not to see Gu Mu's behavior and spoke to Fu Jue with a smile.
The two of them left Gu Qingqing and the others behind and sat down at the head of the table to talk about their business.
"Qingqing, don't be angry. I didn't do anything wrong, why are you angry with me?" Gu Mu felt very pitiful, but his sister didn't understand him.
He felt that Fu Jue was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that he must have ulterior motives and ill intentions in approaching her.
His intuition was never wrong; he trusted himself.
"Second Brother, if you keep targeting Master Fu like this, I won't speak to you tonight." Gu Qingqing puffed out her cheeks in anger, like an angry pufferfish, raising her long and sharp quills.
She glared at Gu Mu, then pulled Gu En to the dining table and sat down next to Fu Jue.
"Qingqing—" Seeing her sitting next to Fu Jue, Gu Mu was furious. At this moment, he could already picture the whole process of how this little white rabbit was eaten by this big bad wolf, Fu Jue, in his mind. It was a bloody and horrifying scene.
He rushed over, pulled Gu En away, and sat down next to her. Although he couldn't separate her from Fu Jue, with him sitting next to her and watching, Fu Jue shouldn't be able to succeed.
"Second brother, why did you push me away? Can't you sit next to eldest brother?" Gu En was very unhappy about being pushed away and having her seat taken away.
Why is my second brother acting so recklessly tonight? It's so embarrassing.
"Qingqing, I'm serving you some soup." Despite being stared at by everyone, Gu Mu remained unfazed, showcasing his superb acting skills as a movie star.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Gu Qingqing glanced at him unhappily, refusing to hand him the bowl in her hand.
"Qingqing, what else could your second brother do? I just wanted to serve you soup, right? That's how I always took care of you." Gu Mu blinked, looking innocent and pitiful.
Why can't she understand him?
He was clearly protecting her, but she felt that he was being unreasonable.
How could she bear to be angry with Gu Mu, who was so pitiful and caring towards her?
"Okay, here you go." Gu Qingqing handed him the bowl, thinking that she would have to give him a lesson after they finished eating and went home.
"Second brother, help me serve the soup." Gu En handed the bowl to Gu Mu, only to be met with a glare from the other.
"Get out, get out, get out!"
"Second brother, you're so biased! Qingqing is your sister, but I'm not your real brother anymore!" Gu En accused Gu Mu of his crimes.
"Qingqing is a girl, are you? As long as you're a girl, I'll serve you soup." Gu Mu glanced at Gu En's crotch, which startled the latter so much that he trembled.
"I don't want to be a girl! I'll serve myself the soup." Gu En felt uncomfortable just thinking about how girls have to have their periods for seven days every month and endure terrible menstrual cramps.
It's better to be a boy; you can be comfortable every day and do whatever you want.
"Hehehe," Gu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, because Gu En's expression was just too funny.
Actually, being a girl isn't so bad. She doesn't have menstrual cramps, and her cycle is around 30 days.
However, some girls are quite unlucky. Not only do they suffer from menstrual cramps, but their cycles only last about twenty days. Their period just ends at the beginning of the month and then starts again at the end of the month.
That's so pitiful.
Moreover, when she has her period, she is unable to move around easily, cannot exercise or practice martial arts, and is physically exhausted. She is not only lazy all day long, but also gets in a bad mood, wanting to curse and hit people.
"Qingqing, quickly try this soup, it's American ginseng and black chicken soup. I've heard it's very nourishing for women." Gu Mu
"Mmm, it's so delicious." Gu Qingqing took a sip and immediately fell in love with the taste of American ginseng stewed black chicken. She also realized that the restaurant's cooking skills were very authentic.
"Qingqing, drink as much as you like. This is something I prepared especially for you." Fu Jue couldn't help but say this. In order to avoid Gu Mu and prevent things from getting awkward, he had been holding back from talking to her and only discussing business cooperation with Gu Jin.
"Yes, thank you, Master Fu. This soup is really delicious. Master Fu, you should have some more too. Big brother, second brother, third brother, you guys drink up too, or I'll finish the whole soup."
She looked up and saw that they were all staring at her and not drinking any soup. She was so angry that she puffed out her cheeks and drank half a bowl of black chicken soup in one go.
"Qingqing really dotes on her second brother." Gu Mu raised his hand to stroke the top of her head, and the two siblings smiled knowingly. One liked to be touched, and the other liked to be touched.
Fu Jue saw it and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
If he becomes her sworn brother now, will he be able to pat her head often in the future?
