Chapter 172: Competing with My Sister for a Boyfriend
"Sis... do we have anything to eat at home? I feel like pigging out to forget this heartbreak...!" Before the words were even finished, a figure wearing a tight pink crop top, rubbing her eyes, walked into Gu Lingyue's bedroom.
Moreover, as she was busy wiping away her tears, she didn't notice there were other people in Gu Lingyue's room.
"Gu Mingyue, how can you just barge into my room?" Gu Lingyue's face darkened, especially with what Gu Mingyue was wearing, making her feel like jumping out the window.
Usually, it was fine, but today, there was another man here.
Gu Mingyue, eighteen years old, was Gu Lingyue's biological sister.
In this large villa, it was just the two sisters living together, so Gu Mingyue dressed very casually at home. Usually, with no one around, Gu Lingyue couldn't be bothered to manage, but now?
"Sis, what are you talking about? I come and go from your room as I please, right? Sometimes we even sleep together naked, and you never minded before. Why are you like this now? I just broke up again, and you don't even comfort me, just scold me, wahh..."
With that, Gu Mingyue rubbed her eyes, crying her heart out.
At that moment, Gu Lingyue almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into, especially seeing Xiao Tianyu's peculiar expression, making her feel like the entire world had gone dark.
The worst part was her foolish sister revealing their nude sleeping, how embarrassing!
Any man witnessing this scene would feel their blood boiling, but Xiao Tianyu seemed utterly unfazed. Regarding this cutesy school junior type, Xiao Tianyu had zero interest.
"Gu Mingyue, you... you... get out..." Gu Lingyue was entirely at a loss for words. It would've been fine if it was just their usual behavior, but now that there's someone else, and still like this, moreover, Mingyue hadn't even noticed there was another man in the room.
Plus, this silly sister was ruining her chance.
Then, Gu Lingyue didn't know how to explain to Xiao Tianyu, so she pointed to her head, shyly saying: "That... that someone, my... my sister isn't quite right up here, please don't mind!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu's eyes calmly glanced at Gu Mingyue, with not a hint of mischief, even showing disdain as he had never had a good impression of such out-of-place women.
Seeing that Xiao Tianyu didn't look at her sister like a wolf eyeing a rabbit, Gu Lingyue was dumbfounded. My sister's dressed like this, and this guy doesn't feel a single stir of excitement?
Instinctively, Gu Lingyue covered Xiao Tianyu's eyes.
"Sis, what did you just say? Who were you talking to? Isn't it just the two of us here?" Gu Mingyue asked cluelessly. Who could possibly be in her sister's bedroom?
Hearing this, Gu Lingyue felt like banging her head against a wall.
Immediately, Gu Mingyue, still crying, moved her hands aside and swept her gaze over the room. As soon as she saw the unfamiliar man, her heart skipped a beat: "Sis, did you bring a wild man home?"
Wild man?
This... what nonsense is this foolish sister talking? I don't have a husband or a boyfriend. Does this count as bringing a wild man home?
Gu Lingyue widened her eyes at Gu Mingyue, making Gu Mingyue feel a bit confused: "Sis, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
There's nothing on her face, but certain areas are quite naked! You have the nerve to stand there talking about it; what about your brain? Gu Lingyue was utterly speechless, almost wanting to strangle this silly sister to death.
Noticing Gu Lingyue's odd gaze inspecting herself, Gu Mingyue finally realized something, looked down, and then screamed: "Ahh..."
The sound was at least as powerful as an 80% lion's roar.
Immediately, she froze.
"Why cover the top when the bottom..." Gu Lingyue was utterly speechless. The top is barely visible, but the bottom is sheer lace.
Hearing this, Gu Mingyue immediately realized and screamed again, quickly darting out of the room, moving so swiftly it was at least 30% of the Wave-Riding Light Step's speed.
Bam~
She entered her room, locking the door behind her, afraid that stranger would burst into her bedroom.
Gu Mingyue didn't have time to think, grabbing a nightgown and throwing it on herself.
In Gu Lingyue's bedroom.
Xiao Tianyu's calm eyes looked at Gu Lingyue, making her face flush as she immediately explained: "Just now, that..."
Xiao Tianyu interrupted: "Mood's spoiled, no time for that."
After speaking, Xiao Tianyu stepped out, leaving Gu Lingyue feeling rather awkward. If she could, she would love to shred Gu Mingyue into pieces.
Gu Lingyue immediately followed out the door, shyly saying: "Just now, were you sure about..."
"What?" Xiao Tianyu interrupted, "I just don't like being misunderstood, was just proving a point. Since things got interrupted, let's forget it."
While speaking, Xiao Tianyu's eyes remained as calm as ever, causing a slight hint of disappointment to ripple through Gu Lingyue's face. Was he merely trying to prove he wasn't gay? Is there truly no other reason behind this?
"Overthinking it!" Xiao Tianyu rejected, quickly walking to the hall.
At this moment, Gu Mingyue, wearing her pajamas, came downstairs. After the earlier panic, she hadn't taken a good look. Now, taking a closer glance at Xiao Tianyu, she was thoroughly captivated by his handsome appearance.
As for what heartbreak, or the need for food to mend her wounded heart—all faded away at the sight of Xiao Tianyu.
So, she asked Gu Lingyue: "Sis, is he your boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Gu Lingyue subtly peeked at Xiao Tianyu. He just dropped her off and healed her foot. Is that a boyfriend? Maybe after the last thing is sorted, it might have been, but it was all ruined by her sister.
Thus, Gu Lingyue shook her head with a hint of shyness: "No, he's not!"
"That's great!" Gu Mingyue's face lit up with excitement, no longer having the earlier embarrassment. Her eyes blinked as she spoke to Xiao Tianyu: "I'm Gu Mingyue, Gu as in Gu Mingyue, Ming as in Gu Mingyue's Ming, Yue as in Gu Mingyue's Yue, and you are?"
"Childish," Xiao Tianyu calmly responded, then ignored her, trying to leave.
Gu Mingyue quickly said: "Why don't you be my boyfriend? Even if you like my sister, it's okay; both of us can serve you together!"
