At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"Ah."

Surprisingly, Gu Zhi didn't continue to criticize herself.

It seems that what needs to be done is really crucial, so I won't go into details.

Yuan Xiao decided that later, when she wasn't looking, he would secretly take a piece and try it to see what it was like.

[Anyway, with so many small desserts, it's impossible for her to remember exactly how many there were.]

The more you forbid me from eating it, the more I want to eat it. Even if it's poisonous, I have to taste what poison tastes like.

— "Zero-Time Skill: Contrarian" is Yuan Xiao's passive skill, which cannot even be turned off manually.

Whether in front of family or important people, Yuan Xiao always finds it hard to resist going against others.

Long-term neglect shaped her personality, and Gu Zhi clearly understood her younger sister very well.

After completing the next step, I packed all the pastries into boxes and put them in the refrigerator's crisper compartment. I even set a password for them and locked them with a click.

【no……?!】

"Sis! What are you doing? Are you on guard against me?"

Yuan Xiaohong warmed up.

"Yes."

Gu Zhi gave her a cold glance, clearly not showing any tenderness towards her just because her sister had ordered takeout for her.

In this world, there is only one human being who can make Gu Zhi show even the slightest smile.

She quickly tidied up the kitchen counter, washed her hands, picked up her phone, and headed towards the living room, deciding to chat with her sister for a while.

"To save money."

"Xiaoxiao".

"…Um?"

"Has the old man been giving you pocket money lately?"

"Yes, he gave it to me, but not much. He seems to be short of money too; he doesn't give me 5 every month like he used to."

Yuan Xiao is very honest; she won't lie even to her older sister who won't give her a cookie.

【ha?】

[She gave me 5, but only gave me 3?]

Gu Zhi thought to herself, "Sure enough, it's obvious who's close and who's distant." Yuan Xiao was the real darling, while she was just a neglected daughter, even having to be used as a middleman by her disgusting mother, who would swindle tens of thousands of yuan out of her at the drop of a hat.

Of what actually reaches us, less than one tenth is actually in our hands.

Give me some.

Gu Zhi stood in front of her younger sister, not hiding anything, and extended her delicate hand to speak frankly.

"What are you doing, sis?"

"I have no money left."

Where's your money?

"I bought a piano."

"what??"

Yuan Xiao frowned and subconsciously glanced into her pitch-black room.

Although the view wasn't very bright, it was clear that the piano was gone from where she had placed the A-shaped stand to put Taylor.

"Where's your xylophone that cost 30,000?" she asked curiously.

"died."

"How did he die?"

"Never mind that. In short, I need more money to do important things for important people. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for it."

Gu Zhi turned around and leaned back, sitting on the sofa to her sister's left.

I reached out and touched the cigarette pack my mother had forgotten on the coffee table. I opened it with my thumb and looked at the two cigarette menthol capsules inside, only to find that there was no lighter.

He couldn't help but frown deeply.

"Give."

To the right of my gaze, Yuan Xiao's small hand suddenly offered me what I needed.

Gu Zhi paused, then turned to look at her younger sister, who had taken the initiative. Seeing the landmine-themed, handmade, yandere-themed heart-shaped lighter in her hand, she couldn't help but be surprised:

Do you smoke too?

"Yes, I don't pass through the lungs."

Yuan Xiao took one of the cigarettes out of the pack, lit it with a lighter, and then handed it to her sister.

Gu Zhi frowned, but did not refuse.

She crossed her voluptuous legs, lit a cigarette, and glanced at her sister who was taking out the last one, watching her light hers as well.

The two sisters were smoking in the living room when their mother wasn't there.

-

In Gu Zhi's eyes, everything before was ineffective socializing, but today this was the only part that she saw as her sister taking the initiative to befriend her.

Favorability +0.1.

"So, where's the money?"

"..."

Yuan Xiao thought to himself, "It seems like we're not going to let this go today. They're going to try and get something out of me."

She knew that her sister had always been under control, and although she lived in a good place, her life was not actually very happy.

I had no choice but to honestly admit, "I accidentally spent it all."

"And how did you spend it?"

Gu Zhiwei was puzzled, not understanding why her savings of at least 20 yuan could suddenly vanish into thin air.

The two women took turns smoking and chatting.

“I’ve become addicted to male escorts. I’ve spent all my money on him. Now I even have to work to continue earning money for him, so I really have nothing left.”

"?"

Yuan Xiao's expression didn't seem like he was lying at all; it even had a "what's the use" kind of attitude, like "as long as I tell the truth and give up, you'll let me go and stop asking me for money."

This finally caught Gu Zhi's attention.

As the older sister, even if it's just a plastic one, I can't just stand by and watch my younger sister waste money like this.

What's the difference between this and throwing money away?

"Yuan Xiao, do you think Old Yuan's money grows on trees?"

She narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at her younger sister.

Are you going to lecture me?

Yuan Xiao seemed completely unperturbed by this; instead, she stubbed out her cigarette, puffed out her chest, and confronted her sister defiantly.

"Although I spent all my money, I spent it wisely."

I found genuine care and love. I can even work with him, I'm a part of his life, and he's handsome, exactly my type—the best in every way. I'm absolutely certain this is what I want. And what about you?

She paused, then smiled, finally finding an opportunity.

She added insult to injury: "The gold and overflowing love I found with this money, do you, sister, have that too?"

Chapter 79 The Reward for a Sound Sleep in a One-Square-Meter Space

Su Che received a message.

It was sent by a grumpy Yuan Xiao.

It's clear that he/she has been somewhat provoked.

【Ah Che! My sister said I'm only fit to sleep with male models! She even cursed me so I'll never develop properly! She said I'll never be liked! I'm so upset! I... I don't believe her! Do you... do you really think I'll ever be unwanted?!】

"..."

It was a sunny day with white clouds and perfect sunshine.

Someone who had just finished showering and was drying their hair in front of the mirror was amused by the little guy.

"What kind of 'sister' is that? She has such a sharp tongue. What did the male model do to her? Seriously..."

One of the people affected shook his head and offered comfort to the child:

"Don't worry, what she said is completely untrue. You are now my apprentice, and even if the whole world abandons you, I will not abandon you."

Even if things get really bad, as long as I have food to eat, you won't starve.

【! ! ! ! ! 】

Yuan Xiao sent a series of five sighs from a cat.

It often conveys the overwhelming excitement and awe in a young girl's heart.

"That, about development..."

She still lacked confidence.

"That? That's alright. There are people in the world who like well-developed bodies, and there will always be people who like bodies that haven't developed. You can completely ignore these aesthetic rules. Just respect everyone's preferences."

Su Che smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.

"And what about you? What kind of girl do you like, A-Che?"
