The siblings were laughing and frolicking in the living room when Sister Ming quickly got the meal ready in the kitchen.
When Qin Yuji got up late, breakfast and lunch merged into one meal. After eating and resting in the living room for a while, Gu Chengan stood up, extending his arm like a gentleman, intending to take Qin Yuji for a walk to aid digestion.
Laughing as she rose to her feet, Qin Yuji looped her arm through his, and the siblings stepped out the door together.
Seventeen-year-old Gu Chengan was already as tall as Chi Jingxuan. Though his body was somewhat frail, standing beside him made Qin Yuji feel a sense of reassurance, as if the tall boy beside her was not her younger brother but her older brother instead.
Walking the familiar paths of the neighborhood she could navigate even with her eyes closed, Qin Yuji, arm in arm with Gu Chengan, pointed out nearby buildings while chatting, her words as gentle as a soft breeze.
