Chapter 24.1: Step-Brother's Toy (1)

Gu MingYue tapped on her high school Mathematics homework with her pencil. She was in the second year of high school, and no matter which era she was in, completing one’s homework is the utmost responsibility of a student.

As compared to her original world where she grew up, this new mission world was filled with technology and science that she would’ve never dreamt of. However, one of the downsides of this modern age is that the children here had way too much homework to complete, to the point that most won’t even have a proper childhood to enjoy…

This was a completely different world, where males and females were treated equally and had the possibility to hold high rankings and positions as long as one had the necessary capabilities. Gu MingYue drowned herself absorbing a wide range of knowledge from this world like a super-absorbent sponge, the various knowledge that, until this day, still amazed her without fail.

But at this moment, she’s struggling to understand her mathematics homework… She had successfully completed her second year of high school, and will be starting the third year after the school holidays end, and in order to enjoy her long holiday, Gu MingYue decided to quickly complete all of her homework within these few days. In this country, third and fifth years would attend country-wide examinations, and thinking about the incoming mountains of homework and tuition, Gu MingYue sighed as she shook her head. Children in this era had it extremely bad…

The biological mother of this body was kind and virtuous. She takes care of the family in an orderly manner, and treated her children gently, lovingly, and considerately.

But although she was lenient, she had high requirements and expectations for her own daughter.

When Gu MingYue came to this world and took on this body, she had experienced her mother’s love and care personally, and although Gu MingYue would never be able to love this woman like her own mother in her original world, she had decided that the least she could do to repay her love was to study hard and not let her down.

Her clock ticked as time passed and the time was now 20:30.

Dong, dong, dong!

Punctual soft knocks sounded on her door, each of them evenly spaced and similarly volumed. Just from listening to the sound of the knocking, one could easily guess that the person standing outside her door was either a perfectionist… or some might call it a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.

“Xiao Yue, may I enter?” The voice of a young man sounded outside the room, his voice was clean and clear, with a hint of gentleness in it, like gentle waves crashing tenderly against the hot scorching beach, moisturizing the area with its tenderness.

“Please enter.” Gu MingYue answered without raising her head from her homework.

The door behind her was gently pushed open from the outside, and a teenager dressed in a white t-shirt and dark blue slacks walked in with some exercise books held in his hands.

Though somewhat young, he was a very handsome man. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with skin as fair and as pale as a porcelain doll and deep black hair that had been trimmed into distinct layers. His facial features were sharp and prominent, with a pair of obsidian eyes that glowed brightly like gems. He had a perfect nose and thin pale lips, which were always curved up into a friendly smile, giving him the demeanor of a friendly and personable man.

This man was her mission target in this world, he was Gu MingYue’s non-blood-related elder brother, Shen Rong.

Easily said, he was the kind of man that no one could ever resist getting close to just by landing their eyes on him. His looks and demeanor made it difficult to feel any sense of resistance or disgust towards him. In addition, each and every move of his was always too appropriate, and his words would never make anyone feel any discomfort or embarrassment. It could be said that he was a very considerate person who took everyone’s feelings and emotions into account.

Gu MingYue watched blankly as he pulled out a chair and took a seat beside her, before flipping open the book he had been carrying. He took out a pen and placed it neatly next to the book before turning his gaze towards her and giving her a warm smile, setting off the atmosphere of a prince charming in her storybooks.

This could’ve been an extremely dreamy picture, if Gu MingYue was able to ignore his eyes.

In fact, the young man’s eyes were directed onto Gu MingYue’s small and delicate face with disgust and a chill that was cold to the bones. But though his eyes were unkind, for some reason, it did nothing to ruin his gentle facial expressions, as if there was some sort of strange harmony in his demeanor.

Anyone who threw such looks to another person for two years would surely have formed a habit within their body.

Not to say that the receiver of such looks, for two whole years, would’ve

And without saying, the receiver of such stares for two whole years… It was difficult to explain her feelings in mere words…

Shen Rong stared at his younger sister, who had lived with him for two years. She had beautiful shoulder-length hair, which was soft and silky. Her bangs were maintained perfectly, while her eyebrows were sleek. Her thick eyelashes curled up like two small brushes and her eyes were like dense water waves, extremely distant and mysterious, with pupils that reveal the depth and quietness that did not match her actual age. Her skin was pale and supple, her cheeks were pink like peaches and her nose was high and dignified. Most of all, her full and moist lips were delicate like red roses, seducing everyone around her even though she did not have the intent.

Her delicate young face was no bigger than his palm, and with the combination of her entire facial features, even at such a young age, she was extremely gorgeous and seductive, like a coquettish poppy that people would fall for, with each and every frowns and smiles bringing a different sort of fatal temptation to one.

Shen Rong narrowed his eyes at her, before continuing soft, “Little bitch, let’s start.”

‘Little bitch’, this was the nickname he had bestowed upon his step-sister, who was four years younger than him.

He was a demon dressed in an angel’s coat… This was how Gu MingYue saw him, the mission target of this world.

How hard was it to please a man such as Shen Rong? Gu MingYue spent two whole years trying to answer this unsolvable question.

First of all, Happy Valentine’s Day!
