In the blink of an eye, Little Softie seemed to have grasped something extraordinary.
She jumped up in a flash, took several steps backward with her little feet, and looked at her brother Gu Chen with a pair of bright, watery eyes in fear.
Her lips, slightly chapped and chapped from lack of water, trembled as she asked, "Brother Gu Chen, you...you...so, you really don't consider me your real sister?"
Gu Chen stood up, walked to Xiao Ruanruan, squatted down, looked her straight in the eyes, and said very seriously, word by word, "Xiao Ruanruan, I like you."
I've never considered you my sister!
Little Ruanruan was dumbfounded. She couldn't speak, her eyes wouldn't move, and her mind went blank. She seemed to be frozen in place.
After a long silence, she finally found her voice, "So, Brother Gu Chen, my brothers were right to be wary of you..."
Gu Chen's deep eyes instantly filled with grievance, and his voice became pitiful, "So, Little Softie, are you going to be wary of me too?"
"No, no!" Little Ruanruan waved her hands repeatedly without thinking.
A flash of triumph crossed Gu Chen's eyes, but he continued to play the innocent victim to the very end, "So, little softie, don't you like me?"
I was an orphan from a young age, and I have a withdrawn personality and no friends.
If even you, Little Softie, don't like me, then no one else will...
Even though the little soft body housed a soul that was already twenty-eight years old, she was utterly powerless against Gu Chen, who was already an absolute beauty. Her adorable and pitiful appearance made her completely powerless to resist him!
She quickly said, "No, Brother Gu Chen, it's just... I've always thought of you as a brother. I don't know what kind of feelings I have for you."
and……
My body is still too small, I'm only four years old!
Little Ruanruan earnestly compared her four white and tender little fingers to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen grasped her small hand, a smile spreading across his face. "It's alright. I'll wait until Xiao Ruanruan grows up and make her understand what kind of love she has for me."
Little Ruanruan nodded her little head.
The slightly dilapidated house fell silent, with only the howling wind outside.
For the first time, Xiao Ruanruan felt a little awkward being with Brother Gu Chen.
Gu Chen seemed oblivious, and after sitting down against the wall, he pulled Xiao Ruanruan over to sit on his lap.
Then, she gently cradled the little girl's soft head in his arms and said softly, "Sleep for a while, and when the wind stops, I'll carry you out!"
"Oh!" Little Ruanruan stared at Brother Gu Chen with her watery eyes, blinked, and her head seemed a little blank, unable to turn.
Before she fell asleep, the only thought left in her mind was that Brother Gu Chen was really handsome. Even from this unflattering angle where she was lying in his arms, there was nothing wrong with his face.
When Brother Gu Chen grows up and matures, he will probably be even more stunning!
After thinking it over, her eyelids started to droop. Her small body had limited energy reserves, and after walking in the desert for so long and then encountering a sandstorm, she was really tired.
Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
——
The moment Su Yiqing saw the sandstorm in the live stream, she immediately wanted to fly a helicopter into the desert to pick up the people.
But Su Yifan, who had rushed over after seeing Xiao Ruanruan and the others encounter wolves last time and shamelessly stayed with him, stopped them.
"Su Laosan, what do you mean?" Su Yiqing glared at Su Yifan with icy eyes.
Su Yifan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes clearly showing impatience. "Do you think I wanted to stop you? If I wasn't afraid that you would go and die, and that Xiao Ruan Ruan would come back heartbroken and feel guilty, I wouldn't bother with you at all!"
"With such a massive sandstorm, no matter how many helicopters you send, they'll overturn that many!"
"Don't worry, Gu Chen is with Xiao Ruanruan and the others. He's very familiar with this desert, so nothing serious will happen to them."
"How do you know he's familiar with this desert?" Su Yiqing thought of Gu Chen's ability to communicate with the alpha wolf in the desert, and then heard Su Yifan's question...
"The Gu family has jointly developed a project with the government, right here in this desert. He's been to this desert countless times. With his AI-like brain, how could he not be familiar with it?"
Su Yiqing calmed down and sat back down. Although the hand tightly gripping the gold pen betrayed his tension and worry, he was no longer as impulsive as before, wanting to rush into the desert regardless of everything.
Su Yan and Su Yifan also arrived immediately.
After they accepted Su Yifan's advice.
Su Yan immediately gave a wry smile, "Well, we usually try every means to guard against that kid surnamed Gu, but when our sisters are really in danger, we can only rely on him."
How can we face him now?!
Su Ziyuan's cold face remained expressionless as he gazed at the endless yellow sand rising from the depths of the desert. "Before Xiao Ruanruan comes of age, even if I lose this face, I will still be wary of him!"
——
When Xiao Ruanruan woke up, she was still sleeping in Gu Chen's arms.
The wind outside was still howling, but it was noticeably weaker than it had been before she went to sleep.
When Xiao Ruanruan looked up, she saw Gu Chen's perfectly shaped jawline. From her angle, she could see that her brother Gu Chen was still resting with his eyes closed.
Long eyelashes cast a silhouette like butterfly wings on her pale skin.
