Leng Qingqiu stood outside the door, her heart filled with worry.
She had originally closed the study door to focus on her philosophical studies. But then Ling'er suddenly let out a loud scream. Was something wrong?
Inside the room.
Leng Ling'er stared at the forbidden book in her hand, her expression turning anxious. But when she saw the tightly locked door, her heart gradually relaxed.
As an excellent book appraiser, one must always learn from past mistakes. For example, now she had learned to lock the door, so she immediately pretended nothing was wrong and called out to her sister outside, "Nothing! I didn't do anything!"
Outside, Leng Qingqiu was skeptical.
What was going on? That tone clearly meant Leng Ling'er was hiding something from her.
Especially...
Leng Qingqiu pressed her ear against the door.
Thump! Thump!
As she listened, she nodded.
Yes, she could indeed hear Ling'er's rapid heartbeat and tense breathing.
She definitely had something to hide from me!
Leng Qingqiu thought this and turned the doorknob to check on the situation.
But...
She found the door was locked.
Seeing this, Leng Qingqiu's suspicions grew even stronger. Ling'er never locked the door before.
But now she had locked it. What did this mean?
It meant the child was growing up and wanted privacy. Why privacy?
Because there was something hidden inside.
Combined with what Gu Yan mentioned about Ling'er having extracurricular books in her room.
So, based on calculations and speculation, Leng Qingqiu was 99% sure.
Leng Ling'er! There was definitely something hidden in the room that even her sister couldn't know about!
Was it a phone?
Thinking this, Leng Qingqiu spoke softly, "Ling'er, open the door, did something happen? Sister can help you."
Inside, Leng Ling'er stared at the turning doorknob, her body breaking out in cold sweat.
Wait, wait! Sister, you actually want to come in?
You weren't like this before!
Leng Ling'er wanted to say, "Sister, go back," but...
Hearing her sister's gentle voice outside the door, Leng Ling'er looked at the book in her hand.
Her eyes were full of complex emotions.
Sister cares so much about me, yet I'm doing this here.
It really shouldn't be, sigh...
Tonight... the cow can't come.
Leng Ling'er sighed lightly, then quickly put the novel back in its place under the bed.
Then she hurried to the door, clicked it open.
And saw Leng Qingqiu's cold face.
Leng Ling'er: ???
Ten minutes later.
"Waaaahhhh!! Sister! Sister, no! Don't take that book away!"
"No, Sister!!"
Leng Ling'er cried, clinging to Leng Qingqiu's thigh. She couldn't believe Leng Qingqiu had found the 18+ novel she hid under the bed so accurately.
She was shocked. Sister! Are you a god?!
How did you find it?!
Leng Qingqiu was unyielding. She had already deduced from the sound of Leng Ling'er moving that she had hidden the book under the bed.
Now, seeing the situation, it was clear she had been reading some inappropriate novel again.
Hearing Leng Ling'er's excited, fearful, and regretful cries, Leng Qingqiu felt unable to bear it.
It seemed the book was very important to her, but!
That's exactly why it had to be confiscated! Otherwise, it would seriously affect her studies!
So.
Leng Qingqiu stopped, looking kindly at Leng Ling'er, who was lying on the ground clinging to her thigh. She waved the book in her hand and said, "Ling'er, I'll give it back to you after you finish the college entrance exam."
Leng Ling'er looked at the book with the bull head cover, wanting to say—Sister, please give it back to me quickly.
If this thing gets seen by Gu Yan, her reputation will be ruined!
She'll really be seen as a pervert!!
"Sister... please give it back to me."
Leng Ling'er sobbed.
Leng Qingqiu smiled helplessly, crouched down, and pried Leng Ling'er’s hands off her thigh: "Be good, go to bed early."
With that.
Click!
The door closed, and Leng Ling'er could only helplessly watch the book that would ruin her social life be taken away by Leng Qingqiu.
Back in the study.
Leng Qingqiu casually stuffed the confiscated book into the bookshelf.
Then she sat back at her desk and started studying again.
Her mind was also filled with Leng Ling'er's earlier behavior.
What kind of book could make Ling'er so devastated? It's just a book...
Leng Qingqiu let out a helpless sigh, realizing that the child was growing up. Afterward, she continued studying.
But as she studied, she glanced at the study door.
With all the commotion between her and Ling'er, would Gu Yan be woken up?
Would he come to find me?
For some reason, Leng Qingqiu walked to the study door, clicked it open.
"This should be fine..."
After doing this, she quickly returned to her desk and continued studying.
But her thoughts were on whether Gu Yan would come over late at night... maybe to make me some brown sugar ginger water...
.....
.....
The next morning.
"Good morning, you two. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Gu Yan had slept well and was now making breakfast.
Seeing the two sisters coming downstairs, he greeted them.
But their states were quite strange.
Leng Ling'er looked depressed and uneasy, not daring to meet Gu Yan's eyes.
And Leng Qingqiu looked exhausted, only giving a soft hum in response to Gu Yan's greeting.
Gu Yan was puzzled. What was going on with these two?
Did something happen last night?
Regardless, Gu Yan placed the breakfast on the table: "Go wash up and eat. I made pan-fried buns and beef vermicelli this morning."
At this, both Leng Ling'er and Leng Qingqiu were attracted by the aroma.
"Yay! Brother-in-law, you're the best!"
Leng Ling'er regained her energy and immediately ran to wash up.
Leng Qingqiu was more reserved. She walked to Gu Yan's side, then stomped hard on his foot.
Then, in front of him, she gave a soft hum and turned to go wash up.
You actually slept through the night, making me wait in vain!
"Ouch!"
Gu Yan sucked in a breath, what was going on?
But!
Looking at Leng Qingqiu's back, he gave a thumbs up. Even like this, Qingqiu is so cute!
At the dining table.
Leng Ling'er bit into a pan-fried bun and called out to Gu Yan, "Brother-in-law, you should drive me to school today, right?"
Gu Yan replied, "I'm here, of course I'll take you."
Hearing this, Leng Ling'er immediately beamed with joy: "Hehe! Brother-in-law, you're so nice!"
She then picked up a pan-fried bun and placed it in Gu Yan's bowl: "Brother-in-law, eat this!"
Gu Yan said speechlessly, "I don't want a pan-fried bun from a little brat."
Leng Ling'er immediately protested: "Hey! That's rude! This is a pan-fried bun from the future internet celebrity!"
"Alright, alright."
Leng Qingqiu quietly ate her pan-fried bun, slightly narrowing her eyes as she watched the interaction between the two.
What's going on? When did Ling'er and Gu Yan get so close?
She felt quite displeased.
Leng Ling'er glanced at her older sister and smiled inwardly.
Then she stood up and said, "I'll go pack my bag. Sister, you two take your time eating."
After Leng Ling'er left.
Gu Yan shook his head helplessly, about to eat the pan-fried bun that Leng Ling'er gave him.
But another pair of chopsticks came and took it.
"?"
Gu Yan was stunned, then turned to see Leng Qingqiu taking the pan-fried bun from his bowl and eating it.
"Qingqiu?"
Before Gu Yan could say anything, Leng Qingqiu picked up another pan-fried bun and placed it in his bowl.
She didn't say a word, wiped her mouth, stood up, and left upstairs.
Gu Yan looked at the pan-fried bun Leng Qingqiu gave him in his bowl, thump!
His heart skipped a beat, hissing!
Even like this, Qingqiu is so cute!
On the other side, back in her room, Leng Qingqiu's face was slightly flushed. She covered her face.
Damn... why did I do something like that!
Ling'er is my sister, what's wrong with a sister-in-law being nice to her brother-in-law?
Why... why do I feel unhappy about it? I shouldn't be like this!
Leng Qingqiu couldn't put into words what she was feeling, but she knew one thing for sure—she didn't like it.
After Leng Qingqiu left, Gu Yan finished cleaning up the dishes.
Leng Ling'er, already with her backpack on, stood at the door and waved at Gu Yan, shouting, "Hey, Fishy Gu, can you hurry up?"
Gu Yan looked at her, and in his mind, he seemed to recall the scene from earlier. He walked over and reached out to flick her forehead.
"Ow!"
She covered her forehead, glaring at Gu Yan with dissatisfaction. "What was that for, Fishy Gu?"
I even helped you out earlier!
Gu Yan rolled his eyes, scratched his head, and said helplessly, "You little brat, stop reading so many extracurricular books."
With that, he didn't know what else to say, so he turned and headed toward the car.
His voice reached Leng Ling'er's ears.
"Anyway... good job, Sister-in-law."
Leng Ling'er was momentarily stunned, then her face showed a complex expression.
It's you who did a good job, Fishy Gu...
She took a deep breath and then put on a cheerful expression, following him. "Fishy Gu, I want fried chicken legs for dinner tonight~~"
"No way."
Leng Ling'er: "?"

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1.

But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.

Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities.
