Chapter 576 Playing with the Morning Light: Through the sheer curtains, soft dappled light shone on the wooden floor of the living room, while the aroma of fried eggs wafted through the air from the kitchen.
Shen Qingling sat frozen on the sofa, her mind a complete mess—Gu Luo and Gu Ximan were actually together...
They really are together...
This is even more outrageous than outrageous.
She tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor, but the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and even her breathing felt labored. If it weren't for the years of self-cultivation she had developed in a large family, her expression would have completely collapsed long ago.
Across from her, Gu Ximan was feigning misery, tears welling in her eyes, but her gaze swept over Shen Qingling's face like a radar, taking in the shock, panic, and disgust deep in her eyes.
She was secretly overjoyed and almost burst out laughing. "You think you can steal my man?"
Still too inexperienced.
Gu Ximan, after all, was a "veteran" who had experienced the fierce battles between the Luo sisters, and she immediately realized what was happening.
Shen Qingling's reaction could mean either that she genuinely didn't know she and Gu Luo weren't related by blood and had been pretending to be calm, but couldn't hold back after hearing it with her own ears; or that she had been deliberately testing the waters and was caught off guard by her own "confession."
Thinking of this, Gu Ximan was overjoyed.
If it's the latter, this is a good opportunity to get rid of this clingy, crazy girl from her brother's side completely.
She immediately composed herself, putting on an even more earnest performance. Biting her pale lower lip, her voice choked with sobs like a kite with a broken string: "Sister Qingling, we know this is wrong, but... but you also know, living under the same roof every day, seeing each other all the time, it's impossible not to feel this restlessness..."
At this point, Gu Ximan paused deliberately, tucking a stray hair behind her ear to create a look of shyness and helplessness: "It was a stormy day, the thunder was incredibly loud. I had just come out of the shower wearing only a towel, and I slipped, bumping right into him as he was coming home. He smelled cool from the rain, yet he was so warm... and then... and then he..."
At this point, she suddenly covered her face, her shoulders trembling violently, "I...I couldn't help it, I...I just went along with it..."
"We know we're making a mistake... but... but we just can't control our bodies..."
"Of course, we've also considered that if I accidentally get pregnant, I will definitely have an abortion..."
"......."
Hearing this, Shen Qingling couldn't help but gasp, feeling as if her ears had been filled with scalding water, both hot and numb.
These lewd words pounded into her ears, making her stomach churn. She quickly turned her face away, but her lips twitched even more uncontrollably.
Gu Ximan was deeply immersed in the role, and as she acted, she actually became emotionally involved, her eyes even reddening.
Just then, the kitchen door creaked open, and Gu Luo came out carrying two plates, still wearing the apron with the bear pattern on it—a gift from Gu Ximan.
As soon as I came out, I was met with two strangely complex gazes.
? ? ? ? ?
A bunch of question marks instantly appeared on my forehead.
What's wrong with these two?
Gu Luo didn't pay much attention. He walked straight to the dining table, put down his plate, and naturally and affectionately picked out Gu Ximan's portion—he even scraped the burnt edges of the fried egg into his own bowl, cut the sausage into small pieces, and poured the hot milk to just seven-tenths full.
After doing all this, he sat down to eat by himself, completely ignoring Shen Qingling next to him.
In his eyes, Shen Qingling was just an "outsider" who came to freeload a meal. He was lucky to get a hot meal, so she didn't receive the treatment a younger sister would.
Gu Ximan then switched back from her "movie star" mode, her eyes darting around as a plan came to mind.
She first picked up the milk glass that Gu Luo had drunk from, and took a big gulp from the rim, not caring about the milk stains on her lips; then she used her chopsticks to precisely pick up the half-eaten fried egg from Gu Luo's bowl, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and deliberately winked at Gu Luo.
Gu Luo was already used to her whining and tantrums, so he just smiled indulgently and reached out to wipe the milk stains from the corner of her mouth: "How old are you to still be fighting over food? Isn't what's in your own bowl enough?"
As he spoke, he picked up the ham from his bowl and gave it to her.
This scene, as seen by Shen Qingling, was no less than a nuclear bomb exploding!
They're showing off their love like this, so they must be together. Just thinking about how Gu Luo would lie on top of Gu Ximan every day and demand things from her makes my stomach churn.
The originally fragrant breakfast instantly became tasteless and even made me feel nauseous.
But she forced herself to remain calm and managed to finish her breakfast.
Then she put down the spoon, stood up, and said as calmly as possible, "I have something to do at school, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, he got up and left.
"Pfft!"
Seeing this, Gu Ximan could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, almost laughing until tears streamed down her face.
Gu Luo was puzzled by her laughter and reached out to touch her forehead: "You don't have a fever? What are you laughing at?"
Gu Ximan raised her head, wiped away the tears of laughter, and proudly raised her chin: "It's nothing, I just helped you solve a small problem!"
