Ye Shujun walked past her son and daughter and pulled Gu Nian into the house: "You two are quite sensible, knowing to invite Anian to stay for dinner."
Luo Shimiao and Luo Jianxing exchanged a glance; this differential treatment was simply outrageous!
"Thank you, Auntie." Gu Nian took the water that Ye Shujun poured for him.
Luo Shimiao pushed her suitcase forward, picked up the photo album on the floor, flipped through a few pages, and sat down on the sofa: "Tsk, Mom, you're choosing a sister-in-law for me again." Her eyes lit up: "Third brother, do you want to come and take a look? There are photos and information, all very detailed."
"Mom~" Luo Jian walked over and hugged Ye Shujun's arm: "Aren't you tired of seeing people all day long?"
Ye Shujun shrugged: "Not tired at all, just killing time."
"By the way, now that you're back, have dinner with the Jiang family's youngest daughter tomorrow to get to know her. You ran away last time, but if you dare to run away again this time, your card will be frozen for another 100 years. We'll talk about dinner time later tomorrow."
Turning to Gu Nian, he said, "Nian, if you're bored, watch some TV. Auntie will go cook for you."
Luo Shimiao asked in confusion, "Is Aunt Chen resting?"
"Yes, her daughter-in-law gave birth to a son a few days ago." She looked at Luo Jianxing when she mentioned the son.
Luo Jianxing slumped on the sofa, utterly dejected. Receiving a "caring" look from his mother, he said, "Looking at me won't help. I can't give you one right away. Besides, you already have two grandsons and a granddaughter. What more could you want?"
Ye Shujun's eyes swept over Gu Nian and her daughter intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't have any grandchildren yet."
Gu Nian lowered his eyes, lost in thought.
"Ahem." Luo Shimiao's eyes darted around as she stood up and gently nudged Ye Shujun: "Dear Mom, I'm hungry. Please go and cook. If you don't, I'll cook."
Little Green peeked out from Luo Shimiao's hair and saw Ye Shujun, her mouth agape: "Pretty sister."
Luo Shimiao: "...Sister? How dare it call me that."
"Oh my, this must be Little Green. It has such a sweet little beak. The real bird is much prettier than it looks on camera." Ye Shujun stroked its head with her finger.
Little Green looked quite pleased, occasionally nuzzling Ye Shujun's fingers with its head.
Ye Shujun liked it more and more as she looked at it: "Xiao Lü, come with me to cook."
Little Green jumped onto Ye Shujun's hand without hesitation.
Watching the two figures slowly walk away, Luo Shimiao gritted her teeth and said, "Ungrateful wretch!"
She sat back down on the sofa, puffing out her cheeks.
Luo Jianxing was still worried about his blind date tomorrow. When he saw Luo Shimiao's delicate profile, he touched his own face and an idea formed in his mind.
"What? You want me to dress up as a man to help you go on a blind date?" Luo Shimiao raised her voice.
Luo Jianxing glanced towards the kitchen: "Keep your voice down. Please help me out, considering how much I took care of you when you were little. I'm begging you, I really don't want to go."
"I'm not going." Luo Shimiao refused without even thinking, and moved her buttocks closer to Gu Nian.
As soon as she moved, Luo Jianxing moved with her, until finally Luo Shimiao was almost sitting on Gu Nian's lap.
Gu Nian held Luo Shimiao with one arm and blocked the man who was pressing against him with the other.
"Little sister, please help me out. We look alike, so it won't give us away." Luo Jianxing looked at Luo Shimiao pitifully with drooping eyes.
Luo Shimiao: "Heh heh, you're 185cm tall and I'm 168cm. How thick would I have to wear insoles to make myself 185cm?!"
"Besides, I give myself away as soon as I start talking. No matter how hard I try to lower my voice, anyone who listens carefully can tell. Do you think the other person is stupid?"
Luo Jianxing pointed at Gu Nian and said, "You should learn from Anian and be a quiet, handsome guy. When she asks you a question, just answer with 'um'."
"I'm not going."
"A-Nian, Miao-Miao will listen to you. For the sake of our years of brotherhood, please say a few words for me."
Gu Nian rested her chin on Luo Shimiao's shoulder and said, "I'll listen to her."
Luo Shimiao stuck out her tongue and looked at her third brother smugly.
"You're not going to help me, are you?" Luo Jianxing narrowed his eyes, watching the two of them singing in unison. He stepped back to the other side of the sofa, crossed his legs, and said slowly, "Find some time to talk to my older brothers about our life ideals. Sigh, recently a big bad wolf has kidnapped my little white rabbit. My older brothers aren't as easy to talk to as I am."
Both of them froze.
Luo Shimiao stared at him intently for a long time before asking, "When did you find out?"
Luo Jianxing glanced casually at the two who were practically inseparable: "I know A-Nian well enough. Why would he participate in a dating reality show for no reason? He's there for you."
He shrugged and said, "Obviously, he has achieved his goal of appearing on the variety show."
Luo Shimiao turned to look at Gu Nian. Although she had already guessed it, she still wanted to hear him say it himself.
Gu Nian didn't look away, met her eyes, and pinched her cheeks with both hands: "Yes, I went for you."
She knew it all; her irresistible charm was undeniable. She buried her face in Gu Nian's arms, a sweet smile spreading across her face.
Seeing the interaction between the two, a rare emotion flickered in Luo Jianxing's eyes. He murmured in a voice only he could hear, "A-Nian, I really envy you. The person you like is right in front of you, while he still hasn't found the person he likes..."
Gu Nian supported Luo Shimiao's shoulder and said, "Miaomiao, help him."
Luo Shimiao stared wide-eyed at Gu Nian in disbelief. He had compromised just because his older brothers were mentioned?
Gu Nian blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes, softened his tone, and called out, "Miao Miao~"
Luo Jianxing, who was not far away, got goosebumps. He was a true brother, and he even used his charm to help him.
Luo Shimiao's heart melted. She didn't get to see President Gu act so coquettishly all the time. She cleared her throat and said, "I'll do you a favor this time since you're so pitiful. Okay, just this once."
"Love you all, mmm~" Luo Jianxing blew them a kiss.
"Ugh!" Luo Shimiao reached out with disdain, grabbed at the air, crushed the invisible kiss, and tossed it aside.
Luo Shimiao leaned against Gu Nian, scrolling through Weibo, when suddenly she thought of something and looked at Luo Jianxing: "Third brother, what kind of girl do you like? Tell me, and I'll try to win her back someday."
"What type do you like?" Luo Jianxing lowered his eyes, his thoughts drifting away, recalling that fleeting glimpse he had once seen: "She had amber eyes, waist-length wavy hair, a heroic air between her brows, a high nose, and beautiful lips. She looked aloof and very pretty."
Luo Shimiao and Gu Nian looked at each other. This description didn't seem like an ideal type; it was more like describing the characteristics of a certain person.
No wonder he refused to go on blind dates; it turns out he already had someone in his heart.
