Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Smells So Good

Slender fingers glided over the screen as sharp eyes scanned the data on the report. After confirming, he slid to the opinion section.

Gu Che mumbled unconsciously, "Siblings... it's true..."

A huge wave of delight and the absurdity of time travel intermingled, making Gu Che feel dizzy.

A "thud" sound woke him up.

Looking up, he saw Gu Miaomiao flying around and accidentally bumping into the sofa, then rolling from the sofa onto the carpet.

He quickly tossed aside his phone, took a step forward, intending to pick her up.

Tuanzi coolly declined his help.

"No need, Miaomiao can do it. It's normal for martial artists to bump around."

With that, she started showing off her Qinggong again.

In complete contrast to before, Gu Che was now extremely nervous.

One moment he proudly thought, as expected of my sister, she even knows Qinggong, how amazing. The next, he worried about Gu Miaomiao falling.

"Miaomiao," Gu Che called his sister's name a bit awkwardly, "come down first, don't fall."

"The Little Heroine won't fall!"

Gu Che changed his tactic, "Right, the Little Heroine won't fall, but is the Little Heroine hungry? There are some snacks at home, do you like snacks?"

With a "whoosh," a shadow landed in front of him.

Tuanzi raised her chubby little face, curiosity brimming in her big eyes, "What are snacks?"

Gu Che patiently explained, took out a box of biscuits, personally opened it, and handed it to Tuanzi.

"Have a taste."

Tuanzi took it, tasted a bite, and her eyes instantly lit up, excitedly looking at Gu Che, "Delicious, super delicious!"

"Then have more."

Gu Che handed over the whole box, realizing there was a bit of distance between him and his sister, he cautiously scooted closer.

The system took in this scene, tempted to ask him, does your face hurt?

Not only did Gu Che not feel hurt, but he also coaxed Gu Miaomiao into telling her story.

He tried hard to maintain a calm demeanor, keeping up the image of a strong and tall brother, but the occasional upward curve of his lips betrayed his feelings.

Until he heard his sister mention she fell into water and then traveled through time, fell sick constantly after arriving in ancient times, was rescued later but remained ill for a long time, weak in body. Her master taught her martial arts hoping she would build stamina and strength.

A sour feeling welled up in his heart.

Gu Che looked at his sister with self-reproach.

"Sorry, I wasn't there back then."

Tuanzi was just about to boast about being a martial arts genius when she turned her head and saw her brother's reddened eyes, giving her a fright.

"Big brother, don't, don't cry!"

Earlier, she fantasized about how she would comfort her brother if he cried after learning the truth. But now, seeing her brother's reddened eyes made her feel really sad.

It's better not to cry, family should be happy together.

"I'm not crying."

Gu Che turned his head, struggling to gather his emotions. A great brother shouldn't cry in front of his sister.

Having composed himself, he went along with Tuanzi's wishes, praising her for being a martial arts prodigy.

If she had a tail, it would definitely be spinning like crazy right now.

"Of course, even Master said Miaomiao is a martial arts genius, and this is not the only thing Miaomiao knows!"

Her small face lifted up, full of pride.

Gu Che stared at that chubby face for a while, couldn't resist, reached out a finger to poke it, immediately forming a small dent in her cheek.

Just as soft as he imagined.

He quickly withdrew his hand, "So what else have you practiced? Are you tired?"

"Not tired at all, not at all."

Her little mouth chattered, saying a whole lot.

The more Gu Che listened, the prouder he felt. He felt both heartache and pride. As for the previous thought that Tuanzi was too noisy, he had long thrown it to the back of his mind.

It was still early, so he suggested going to the mall to buy some daily necessities.

"Sure, sure, Miaomiao has never been to a mall."

Hearing this, Gu Che felt even more heartache. Life must have been tough in ancient times. Now that his little sister finally returned, he must make it up to her properly.

On the surface, he still maintained a calm expression.

While he was changing clothes, Tuanzi whispered with the system.

[Miaomiao: He seems to have suddenly changed into a different person, so strange]

[Ancient Martial System: What's strange? He saw the identification result, knows you are his sister]

Tuanzi widened her eyes, dashed to the doorway with her short legs.

Gu Che happened to come out after changing, immediately seeing Tuanzi jump up to him, and he caught her instinctively.

"What's wrong?" His voice softer than ever before.

"Big brother!"

Tuanzi pressed her face against his, "Now do you believe Miaomiao is your sister?"

Gu Che pressed his lips awkwardly, wishing he could go back and hit the past version of himself from over three hours ago.

Wasting a whole three hours that could have been spent with his sister!

He carried Tuanzi to the elevator, when she suddenly whispered, "Miaomiao has been looking forward to meeting big brother for a long time, Miaomiao really likes big brother a lot."

'Boom,' the top star's face reddened all the way to his neck.

He wore a hat and mask, Tuanzi could only see his flushed red ears.

"Big brother, your ears are so red, are you sick?"

"No, no." The top star feeling both shy and a little pleased.

Two thoughts popped in his head.

Ah ah ah, how can little sister speak so directly?

Ah ah ah, turns out little sister likes him so much!

He couldn't say it out loud, he could only act cold and indifferent.

They got into the car.

Gu Miaomiao tugged on the seatbelt, "How do you fasten this? Miaomiao doesn't know."

She frowned, looking pitifully.

Gu Che kept a stern face as he got out of the car, went to the back seat to help her fasten it.

"Wow, big brother's amazing, thank you big brother."

Gu Miaomiao didn't hold back with her praises, her eyes curving into happy crescents.

"Boom boom!"

It was as if fireworks were bursting in his heart.

Taking advantage of the mask to hide his expression, Gu Che silently curved a smile, then quickly pulled it back.

"Sit tight, we're heading out."

"Yay, let's go!"
