“Okay! I’ll tell you!” Gu En interrupted before Grandma Gu could speak.
Unaware of the situation, Uncle Gu and Madam Zhang wondered why this little girl wanted to hear the story of Mulan joining the army in place of her father.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan weaves at her door..." Gu En began reciting the Ballad of Mulan.
Gu Xin and Gu Si couldn't help but laugh; Xiao Mingyue definitely wouldn't be able to listen for more than a few words.
"Fourth cousin, stop!" Sure enough, Dugu Mingyue interrupted Gu En after he had only recited a few lines. "I don't want to hear any of that! I want to hear a story. Brother Renren is busy and can't tell me one, so you have to tell me one! Once you've told me, I won't bother you anymore."
“Okay, then I’ll tell you a story.” Gu En patiently began to tell Xiao Mingyue a story.
Dugu Mingyue stared at Gu En and didn't notice anything wrong with him.
Wait a minute, could it be that my fourth cousin has also learned to pretend? Has he suddenly become smarter?
Dugu Mingyue didn't know if she had guessed correctly, but anyway, the whole story was over, and Gu En acted perfectly normally.
Gu En was secretly pleased with herself!
Hmph, you little punk! You think you can make a fool of me? No way!
Gu En figured it out last night. Let everyone know if they want to, he'll just do what he wants.
He didn't even consider whether his third sister and the others would tell Xiao Qiu about it; he himself certainly wouldn't.
At worst, we can just stop seeking out Xiao Qiu for late-night talks and avoid acting like brothers when we meet.
He had already figured out his own feelings, but he had exams to take and Xiao Qiu had a lot of troublesome things to deal with, so he didn't plan to take the initiative to break off this relationship right now.
Let's think about it after he finishes his exams!
Xiao Qiu won't run away now that she's there, and he can't just stop contacting her because she's a girl and he's interested in her.
Xiao Qiu is a girl, about the same age as him. It's perfectly normal for him to have feelings for her, and there's nothing shameful about it.
But before expressing his affections, he had to study hard for the exams, hoping to get into the top tier.
In the future, if Xiao Qiu ever needs his help, he hopes he can help her as Gu En, not as the fourth young master of the Gu family.
This idea was strange to Gu En. He had never distinguished between the fourth young master of the Gu family and Gu En before. He felt that Gu En was the fourth young master of the Gu family, so why distinguish between them?
But now he has a feeling, a desire to protect someone with his own abilities, to protect the person he loves.
He didn't feel too much pressure; on the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit.
He had heard his second sister say before that good relationships can make people feel positive and uplifted, and perhaps that's exactly what he's going through now.
After hearing the story, Dugu Mingyue didn't see the scene she wanted to see and felt it wasn't fun anymore. After eating breakfast, she went to Gu Ren's study to find Gu Ren.
She wouldn't pester Gu Ren to take her out to play. While Gu Ren was doing his work, she would quietly read books or storybooks on her own.
She's too young to recognize all the characters, but she's still quite good compared to other children her age.
Everyone who spoke to her thought she was very precocious, and they all admired her as the princess of the Goddess Kingdom.
After finishing his meal, Gu En returned to his study. He had completely calmed down and was now truly focused on something, unlike before when he was doing things out of his family's expectations.
