He will simply move forward in silence, nothing more.

Lu Xining is now certain that Fan Xiao is this type of person.

They are the type of people she admires most.

She was not mistaken.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.

Lu Xining glanced at the phone and saw that it was her younger sister calling.

This made her frown, as if she were being checked up on.

After answering the phone, Lu Xining asked, "Bai Zhi? Is there something you need?"

"Sister, you should be home now, right? I just flipped a coin to confirm."

"...You didn't come to Ancheng, did you?"

"Yes, I just arrived. Didn't you say you were moving things recently? I came to help you."

"What do I need your help with? Tell me the truth, don't play these games with me."

"Um...yes, Fan Xiao said he needed my help, so I came over. But...I...I'm a little embarrassed to go to his place alone, since we haven't seen each other for over a month...Sister, could you come with me?"

“Sure. It’s a bit dangerous for you to go alone. It’s better if I come along, in case he goes berserk and attacks you.”

"...Huh? Um...Fan Xiao would never do such a thing. Sister, what's wrong? You didn't say that before."

"I'm just suggesting a possibility. Players come back from dungeons with a lot of stress and need to vent. What if he takes it out on you? You're right to come to me. Keep up this cautious attitude."

"That reason is so far-fetched..."

"I'm doing this for your own good! Okay, stay here obediently at the door, I'll come get you."

Lu Xining hung up the phone.

She immediately deleted all information about Fan Xiao from her phone and emptied the recycle bin, leaving no trace.

Lu Baizhi's luck is a bit unpredictable; if her younger sister accidentally sees her like this, she'll have a hard time explaining herself.

Anyway, the answer has now been confirmed.

There's no point in keeping these materials anymore.

She's not like Lu Baizhi, who gets satisfaction just by looking at photos.

No information can compare to the fun of real people.

Lu Xining got up, straightened her collar, and went to the entrance of the residential area to bring her younger sister, who was waiting outside, inside.

After entering the house, Lu Baizhi first visited her sister's new room.

After showing her all the rooms and satisfying her curiosity, she finally got down to business: "Sister, can I move in with you?"

"You're not going to school anymore?" Lu Xining reminded her, "Once you reach the D-level player, there's no need to rush your progress so much. You can still manage to balance your studies."

“No,” Lu Baizhi explained, “I just… I simply wanted to come and live in Ancheng.”

“…Heh.” Lu Xining sneered, “Don’t lie to me. Do you think I can’t see through your little scheme?”

"So what if they figured it out..."

After a slight retort, Lu Baizhi decided to go all out and said, "Anyway, I'm going to come back to Ancheng to take the exam next year anyway, so transferring here earlier will make things easier. Sister, can you help me persuade Mom and Dad?"

“It is possible, but…” Lu Xining asked, “What benefit would that bring me?”

"Huh? You want more benefits?" Lu Baizhi said, "We...aren't we sisters? We used to live together."

“You’ll be an adult soon, and adults need some personal space,” Lu Xining said. “Even if you don’t want it, don’t I?”

"Private space... Sister, you're not hiding something from me, are you?"

Lu Baizhi suddenly became perceptive.

"..."

Lu Xining said calmly, "What nonsense are you thinking? Don't you understand the definition of private space?"

"I understand, but... haven't we always lived together? There's never been anything wrong with it."

"That was before. For example, if I get a boyfriend and we live together, it would be a big problem if you lived in my house."

"...living together?"

Lu Baizhi said in surprise, "Sister, you...you're so bold!"

"Heh... Think about what you did before. You stayed in Fan Xiao's house for more than ten days, and you still have the nerve to say that living together is bold?"

"We didn't do anything..."

"That's called cohabitation!"

Lu Xining said, "Besides, I was just giving an example to help you understand; it doesn't mean I'm actually planning to live with someone."

"That's true... Sister, you're not interested in boys, so I really can't imagine what it would be like for you to be in a relationship."

Lu Baizhi thought for a moment and said, "Since you need private space, sister... then I'll just buy an apartment myself, one on the floor above yours."

"...So," Lu Xining asked, "you're still coming?"

"Um. That..."

Lu Baizhi asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like... Sister, you're stopping me from coming?"

"I'm just afraid that after you come to Ancheng, you'll become obsessed with men and forget all about important matters."

Lu Xining replied naturally.

"N-no, I'm not obsessed..." Lu Baizhi's cheeks immediately turned rosy: "It's just... just a very ordinary feeling of affection..."

"Can you convince your parents?" Lu Xining reminded her, "Shouldn't you reconsider?"

"It should be fine, right? Things I expect, as long as they're not major, usually turn out well in the end. This should be a minor issue, right?"

Lu Baizhi said, "By the way, sister, the way you're talking...aren't you going to help me persuade them?"

"……never mind."

Lu Xining sighed and said, "You should move in with me. There's no need to buy a separate house."

"Uh..." Lu Baizhi asked in confusion, "Sister, don't you want your personal space anymore?"

"I've been thinking about it, and what's more important than sisterly affection than personal space?"

“I’m not comfortable with you living alone, so you should live with me.”

Lu Xining said with a serious expression, "I'm doing this all for your own good."

"Well, thank you sister."

Lu Baizhi was a little touched.

Her sister was still as good to her as ever.

She's still a little unaccustomed to living alone.

After the important matter was resolved, Lu Baizhi's mood improved.

She reached for the black tea on the coffee table, when suddenly the handle of the teacup broke, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered, splashing the black tea all over her skirt.

Fortunately, the water wasn't too hot, so she wasn't hurt; only her dress got dirty.

"I'm sorry... cup..."

Lu Baizhi apologized instinctively.

"It's just a cup, why care about it? As long as no one gets burned, it's fine."

Lu Xining asked, "Did you bring a change of clothes in the storage space? You can't wear this dress anymore."

"Hmm... I booked the tickets in a hurry today, and I left in a hurry too. I didn't bring anything with me and just came straight here."

Lu Baizhi looked distressed.

"Then wear mine for now, and go to the mall tonight to buy some spare clothes."

After Lu Xining finished speaking, she got up from the sofa.

Just as she was about to go to the bedroom to get her dress, a question suddenly occurred to her, and she subconsciously asked, "By the way, Bai Zhi, although our waists are about the same, our hips are different... Has your butt gotten any bigger lately?"

"elder sister!"

Lu Baizhi said, embarrassed and annoyed.

“I understand,” Lu Xining said. “I’ll get you the skirt, but you can skip the pants.”

"Ignore you!"

Lu Baizhi said angrily.

Lu Xining stopped teasing her sister, stepped out of the living room, and went to the walk-in closet in her bedroom.

Lu Baizhi sat on the sofa and waited.

Buzz—the cell phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated twice.

Lu Baizhi subconsciously glanced over and saw that it was her sister's phone.

The phone screen lit up, and a message notification popped up.

Because the content is very short, the information is fully displayed directly in the prompt.

The sender's name is Du Ruo.

Du Ruo: "Have you finished reviewing Fan Xiao's information?"

Lu Baizhi: "..."

The girl immediately became alert.

Fan Xiao's information!?

My sister asked Du Ruo for Fan Xiao's information!?

Lu Baizhi's eyes immediately sharpened.

No!

We need to see what's going on!

"I remember my sister's unlock password is... She seems to change her password often, so the last one definitely won't work... Let's try our luck!"

Lu Baizhi quickly completed her mental calculations.

But just as she reached for her phone, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.

Lu Xining walked quickly out of the bedroom... or rather, jogged out, and took her phone before her sister.

"I forgot my phone."

She explained to her sister.

"Sister, why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Baizhi reminded her, "We're at home right now, it's perfectly normal to forget your phone, do you really need to be so anxious?"

"..."

Lu Xining observed her sister's expression and immediately understood.

She abandoned her attempts to deny it and instead questioned, "Did you peek at my messages?"

"Um... I didn't mean to, I saw the message as soon as it was sent... Wait a minute!"

Lu Baizhi realized what was happening and steered the conversation back on track: "Sister, why did you ask the Special Affairs Bureau for Fan Xiao's information? The reason..."

She became serious: "You don't mind telling me, do you?"

"...Fine, since you've already seen it, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Lu Xining sighed and said, "Whether it's you or me, we're both very close to him, and we'll probably be dealing with him frequently in the future. So, of course I have to investigate him thoroughly to avoid any mishaps."

"There are so many two-faced people these days. We can only know a person's face, not their heart. If we want to continue to develop a deeper relationship with them, investigation is very necessary."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

“But,” Lu Baizhi said, “Sister, you didn’t say that last time. You said you believed in my luck and my judgment.”

"Luck will always run out sometimes."
