Chapter 197 – Huo ChuChu had been promoted to your ‘little sidekick’ (1)
Gu Shishi patted Huo ChuChu on her shoulder to show her approval of her words.
“Then you need to shout these out loudly to him. What kind of a rebellious girl are you if you are just going to roll over when he tells you to?”
Huo ChuChu’s eyes lit up. She had only used that strategy on her mother and her second brother before! She had never tried that on her big brother.
Seeing that she looked like she had been enlightened, Gu Shishi stopped talking.
Nobody could say for sure whether the boss was a walking curse. That was too metaphysical. And the older generation tend to want to lean toward the safe side.
That being said, as long as she possessed the system, she felt that this issue could be resolved nicely.
As long as she could live on and he could live on... curse or no curse was a non-issue.
She couldn’t possibly be required to trade for heart-strengthening pills from the system the day the two of them shared a bed and did other unmentionables.
Hehehe!
Her gold finger system made her think that this whole curse thing was just fabricated. It was but a series of unfortunate coincidences.
“Alright, you think this through on your own.”Gu Shishi put away the hair dryer. “I’ve done for you what I could.”
Huo ChuChu looked up, and her cheeks were a bit red.
The rebellious child from this morning had suddenly turned into the girl next door, the kind that you can stroke on her head no less.
“Thank... thank you.”
“Hmm, no worries. I am just helping myself out –making the boss happy and eliminating any possible destabilizing factors for the date.”
Having said that, Gu Shishi ran over to her closet happily!
Oh yay! Candle light dinner with the boss tonight! She was that close to completing her assignment!
Huo ChuChu, “......!”
Date? Destabilizing factor? Who was she talking about?
Was she talking about her??!!!
Friendship between women was a very peculiar thing.
When one was feeling particularly fragile and the other one had helped her out, she would become particularly dependent on the said person.
And that was how Huo ChuChu felt... about Gu Shishi right now.
Gu Shishi had picked her up and brought her home when she was backed into a corner.
After she had changed out of her drenched clothes, the jets in the bathtub were set to a relaxing vibrating mode and the ginger soup was placed right into her hands...
Gu Shishi had thought of everything.
Huo ChuChu felt that the coldness inside of her all these years was almost all dissipated by Gu Shishi.
More importantly, her fear of losing a loved one that she had hid in the deepest part of her heart had subsided a lot by Gu Shishi’s scolding.
She felt reassured.
For some reasons.
***
Huo ChuChu dared not leave the room in the afternoon for fear of upsetting her brother.
She stayed inside her bedroom, watching Gu Shishi paint.
She knew nothing about ink painting, but she felt that each brush stroke of hers was filled with the power to calm.
[Ding! Received fondness from Huo ChuChu!]
[Ding! Received fondness from Huo ChuChu!]
[Ding! ....]
That was all Gu Shishi heard all afternoon long.
She wasn’t sure what to make of that. She looked over a few times and each time she saw Huo ChuChu gazing at her intensely through her swollen eyes.
And the fondness continued to increase as she gazed.
[Ding! Huo ChuChu had been promoted to your ‘little sidekick’.]
[Little sidekick: She will follow your command and trust you wholeheartedly and hope that you would be able to show her the light.]
[Beep. Releasing side mission “Finding the husband’s little sister”.]
