080 Blood Moon
“Meow…”
“Goo-gee?”
The green bean congee was simmering slowly in the kitchen. The TV was on in the living room, but Tuantuan was watching absent-mindedly. She jumped onto the coffee table and started to probe a fish tank with her fluffy paws.
“Meow?”
She had personally seen this thing turn into a human and open the door for Qin Ren. Curiosity was her nature. Her relentless exploration scared Mizhi into constantly blowing bubbles.
“Gee!!”
“Meeow—”
It actually tried to resist…
After pulling back her paw, Tuantuan unleashed a flurry of cat punches, skipping them across the water in the fish tank, creating a series of plopping sounds.
“Gee! Goo-gee—~”
Mizhi’s moans gradually became longer, and its color also slowly turned pink, which made Gu Qing exclaim in amazement.
She was actually like a cat too, especially in the way she walked without a sound. She sat down on the sofa, rested her chin on her hand, and briefly watched Tuantuan play with the slime. Then she slowly turned her head and looked at her little brother’s back as he was busy at the computer.
Working overtime even at home…
Her little brother was still as tall and big as ever, but when he sat in the chair, she always felt that his back was not as straight as it was when he was in school.
Older sisters always feel sorry for their little brothers. After a morning of chaos, the dust had temporarily settled. After waking up from a satisfyingly good sleep, Gu Qing was also in her ladylike mode.
The sentimental and ladylike Gu Qing was particularly soft-hearted when she saw her little brother like this. She got up and knelt on the sofa, slowly reaching out to massage his shoulders.
“?”
Feeling the softness on his shoulders, Qin Ren continued to type on the keyboard, but a smile couldn’t help but form on his lips.
“Thanks, Yourong.”
“…”
There was no response, and the small hands on his shoulders suddenly stiffened.
“!”
This change, in a flash of lightning, made Qin Ren instantly realize something. He didn’t dare to delay and immediately followed up with the next sentence.
“But I won’t trouble you. I’ll ask Qing’er to help me later.”
“…”
“Aiya, speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve had my older sister help me with a shoulder rub. I really miss it. I’m not used to it when others do it…”
“…”
After two sentences, the hands on his shoulders became soft again, and then they pinched the back of Qin Ren’s neck, not too hard, not too light.
“Hiss!”
Qin Ren shrank his neck, frowned, and turned his head, his mouth open in “surprise.”
“Jie? It’s you? When did you wake up?”
“Hmph…”
A healthy pink blush was on her face, which was especially suitable for a girl like Gu Qing with a baby face and a cool temperament. It was extremely pretty.
“Who else did you think it was?”
“Uh…”
Qin Ren stammered. Seeing that her little brother had performed well and was also quite tired, Gu Qing didn’t make things difficult for him. She raised her finger and gently poked his face, turning it away.
“Working overtime even at home… has it been like this all this time?”
“No, no. It’s freelance work. I’m not in a hurry. I just do it when I have nothing else to do.”
“Mhm…”
That was relatively better. Gu Qing nodded.
“You focus on your work. I’ll massage you for a while…”
“Mhm, mhm. Jie, you’re the best!”
Qin Ren turned his head with a grin. Only then did the fine sweat on his forehead start to seep out.
Phew… that was close.
Who knew if his older sister had a temper when she woke up? If he had accidentally broken the hard-won peaceful atmosphere with a slip of the tongue, it would have been bad.
“Hey, let me ask you.”
Gu Qing spoke slowly as she massaged her little brother’s shoulders.
“That kid, Luo Yao… why are you always holding her…”
“Because it’s nice.”
“?”
Qin Ren blurted it out. The force in Gu Qing’s hands paused again.
“No, that’s not… ”
Qin Ren clicked his tongue and changed his wording.
“Jie, you don’t know. Luo Yao’s constitution is special. She’s a top-quality human air conditioner.”
“Human air conditioner?”
“Mhm, and a human power bank.”
Qin Ren then narrated some things related to Luo Yao, including the air conditioner in his bedroom that had been broken for a long time. Gu Qing’s eyes widened and she pouted slightly.
“You… you actually sleep with her every night!”
“Sigh, it’s not like I wanted to from the beginning…”
Qin Ren stared at the screen and explained half-heartedly.
“It saves electricity and is comfortable. It’s great… oh right, speaking of saving electricity, the property management recently issued a document. Our place is going to be a pilot for housing rentals, and the commercial electricity will be changed to residential. At that time…”
“Don’t change the subject!”
Gu Qing reasonably suspected that her little brother was playing tricks. She gently tapped his Adam’s apple.
“Qin Ren, if I remember correctly, even Cheng Siyun has never slept with you, right? And you still say you’re not a scumbag?”
“Can Siyun and Luo Yao be the same thing…”
“Then what about them?”
Gu Qing glanced at the dining table and lowered her voice, leaning close to her little brother’s ear.
“Yu Yourong and Yu Ling’er, where do they sleep every night? In my room?”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare…”
“Then they’re sleeping with you too!”
Since her little brother can turn his home into a snake pit, then he can turn the snake pit into a den of debauchery.
“Even more so, I wouldn’t dare!”
Qin Ren didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He put down his mouse and pointed.
“Jie, haven’t you noticed that the sofa at home has been changed? This is a sofa bed. They sleep in the living room.”
Gu Qing looked down. It was true.
“Oh, alright.”
I thought my little brother was a confirmed scumbag…
If her little brother were to be abandoned by a woman for being a scumbag, then the only one who could accept him would be his older sister. Actually, thinking about it this way, Gu Qing was quite…
No, no. This thought is so perverted.
Gu Qing shook her head. She was probably the only older sister in the world who would have such strange thoughts, to actually prefer that the boy she cared about be a scumbag…
“By the way, why hasn’t Luo Yao come back yet?” Qin Ren muttered.
“Maybe she’s using the restroom.”
Tsk, since I came home, what kind of topics have I been discussing with my little brother? But it does have a very domestic feel…
“That’s still too long. This kid hasn’t even drunk much Coke today…”
“Mind your own business.”
A pervert little brother, always thinking about a girl’s nether regions. His older sister was blushing for him.
“Are you sure she’s just peeing?”
“Of course.”
Actually, Qin Ren could be “sure” about this.
“Jie, speaking of which, there’s something else I haven’t mentioned about Luo Yao. Of course, I’m not a pervert. I haven’t confirmed it with my own hands or eyes. Anyway, according to the relevant information on our Earth, it’s just that Luo Yao, she, that… hm?”
As Qin Ren was talking, he turned his head and was stunned to find that Luo Yao had actually already come back.
But she didn’t come over for a hug right away. Instead, she had at some point run to the balcony, her little head tilted up, quietly looking at the sky.
“Yao, Yao?”
Qin Ren tried calling out twice, but Luo Yao seemed to be very serious. Qin Ren and Gu Qing’s view was blocked by half of the curtain. They didn’t know what the Pixiu was looking at. They only found that the next moment, the Yu Ling’er master and disciple by the dining table also had serious expressions and walked towards the balcony one after another.
“Meeow…”
Even Tuantuan, who had long since stopped playing with Mizhi, had pressed the mute button on the remote control, leaped from the sofa, and landed on Yu Yourong’s chest to hitch a ride. Her large, sapphire-blue eyes looked out at the balcony in a daze.
“Ge,” Yu Yourong gently stroked Tuantuan’s head and called out to Qin Ren.
Qin Ren and Gu Qing looked at each other and also came to the balcony. Only then did they find that not just them, but most of the households in the entire community had also come to their balconies. The community and the street outside were filled with a clamor.
And all of this was because the huge, rising full moon in the sky, before the night had completely fallen, was showing an incredible, blood-red color.
