Gu Zichen smiled, but his smile was cold and mocking, completely unsuitable for an eighteen-year-old boy's face.

  This realization made Su Yeon-yeon feel a little fearful.

  After a long time, she finally heard Gu Zichen's cold and almost cruel voice: "Su Niannian, I have never had a family, never have."

  Su was shocked by the cold air emanating from his words, her mouth slightly ajar, but unable to say anything.

  She guessed in her heart that he must have had some conflict with his family, which was definitely not a good thing for him.

  She wasn't the type to pry into others' emotions, so she quickly changed the subject: "Cough... did you buy dog food? Do you want to eat our family's Baobao's first, cats and dogs are a family after all..."

  Gu Zi Chen saw her clumsy evasive gaze and knew she was doing it for his own good, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "It's bought, everything is ready."

  "Oh...... that's good." Su Niannian smoothed out her hair, only then realizing she had stayed at the Gu house for quite some time and was getting a bit flustered. "Uh... I'll head back first..."

  "Are you sure you want to go back like this?"

  "Huh?" Su Nian lowered her head and took a glance at herself, her face instantly turning red.

  She just came to give a name to the big circle, running over barefoot, wearing her pajamas in disarray, and even her hair was not properly groomed.

  OH-NO！

  Su Nian has always been neglectful of her personal image, but for the first time, she felt shy in front of a boy.

  "Those who know, think you're just lazy, those who don't, would think something happened at my place." Gu Zi Chen coldly ridiculed her, and casually pointed to the floor, "Every time you come, it's like a ghost entering the village, Su Nian Nian, your destructive power is truly astonishing."

  Su Niannian looked back and saw a trail of gray footprints on the clean floor, all the way to... uh, the white luxurious woolen carpet under her feet.

  Su's face turned red, and she wished she could dig a hole on the spot and bury herself.

  She covered her face and deceitfully said: "Actually, I'm Su Niannian's sister... Oh right, I'm her sister, you've mistaken me for someone else, Su Niannian is still at home, hehehe..."

  Gu Zi Chen's thin lips curled up with a smile, "Oh? So to say, Chen Yuan is really lucky, having two good sisters, tsk tsk..."

  Su Niannian lowered her head in embarrassment, preparing to sneak away quietly. She moved slowly towards the door like a snail with a guilty conscience.

  A low, suppressed laugh came from above, and Su Nian's fingers moved away a small gap. Gu Zichen looked down at her with a smile that was so captivating it could dazzle her eyes.

  He pursed his lips and said softly, "Sit tight."

  Su Nian was immediately enthralled by his extremely magnetic voice and obediently sat down on the sofa, not daring to move.

  Gu Zichen turned around and went to the door, then quickly came back, holding a pair of small home slippers in his hand. He squatted down beside Su Nianian, looking at her white and delicate little feet moving restlessly, and let out a helpless sigh.

  He pulled out a wet wipe and gently wiped away the stains on Su Nian's feet, his movements as gentle as if he were handling some kind of precious treasure.

  After wiping it clean, he helped her put on her slippers again. Gu Zi Chen patted his hands: "Let's go back."

  Su Nian finally came to her senses, her face red like a cooked shrimp, with an expression of utter incredulity.

  That enchanting and handsome face was right in front of her, Su Nian felt like a string in her mind had snapped, crackling and exploding loudly.

  Ahhhhhhh!

  What happened just now wasn't a dream!

  Gu Zichen! Actually helped her put on shoes?!
