CH 5

5-6 minutes

Aunt Zhang carried You You to change clothes and pretended not to see the big luggage lying at her feet.

Gu Miao Miao did not shy away from hard work. Growing up in the countryside made her strong enough to carry her own luggage.

After asking about her room, she took a change of clothes, walked quietly to the bathroom, and started to take a shower.

The bathroom on the second floor was very big. When Gu Miao Miao was taking a shower, You You also soaked her feet outside.

She was alone.

The figure sitting on the small bench was bent into a small ball and was busy carefully wiping off her feet. She did not notice that Gu Miao Miao was looking at her.

Then Gu Miao Miao saw that Gu You You raised one foot, and after drying it carefully, she put the dried foot back in the basin filled with water, then lifted the other foot, wiped it carefully, and put it back.

Gu You You repeated it twice and was stunned in the end, with an utterly shocked expression that seemed to say- Huh. Why can’t it be dried?!

Gu Miao Miao, “…”

It took Gu You You a long time to wake up from the endless cycle of wiping her feet and putting her feet back in the basin again, to notice Gu Miao Miao.

Seeing Gu Miao Miao, she happily shouted, “Sister.”

Those big watery almond eyes brightly looked at her. 

She seemed really happy.

But this was by no means the expression that Gu You You in her memory had while looking at her.

Gu Miao Miao stared at Gu You You for a few seconds. 

She couldn’t guess what bad thoughts her little sister was thinking about, so she decided to stay the same.

She quietly walked away pretending not to hear and took the hairdryer hanging on the wall to blow her hair.

You You looked at the new elder sister and scratched her head.

My sister always ignores me, is she shy??

Thinking of being a guest at someone else’s house, she too felt shy to speak. 

You You felt that she had understood her sister’s thoughts, so she hurriedly got up and quickly put on her little shoes.

She carried a small stool to Gu Miao Miao’s side and said, “Sister, sit down, sister. I will blow your hair!”

You You expectantly looked at Gu Miao Miao.

The first step to having a good relationship with your elder sister started with blowing her hair!

Gu You You was also afraid that Gu Miao Miao would not believe it, so she hurriedly added, “I can blow my hair. I often blow my mother’s hair…really.”

The little girl with “believe me” clearly written on her small face sincerely winked at her.

Gu Miao Miao stared at Gu You You for a long time this time as if she wanted to catch even a little bit of sinister intentions from her little face.

However, no.

She didn’t expect her to hide so deeply at such a tender age.

Gu Miao Miao, who was a little wary of You You directly refused her.

She indifferently said, “No need.”

Hearing it, You You’s small face collapsed in disappointment.

But she still didn’t give up.

She firmly believed that her sister was so polite to her because she was shy, so she still followed behind Gu Miao Miao.

When Gu Miao Miao was washing the dirty clothes, You You who was standing behind her clapped her hands:

“Wow…sister is amazing! She can wash clothes by herself!”

When Gu Miao Miao returned to the room to unpack her luggage, You You followed behind her and still praised, “Wow…Elder sister can fold her clothes, she is amazing!!”

Gu Miao Miao couldn’t tell whether this little sister was really boasting or deliberately being sarcastic.

In the end, You You who even tied her blow-dried hair was being praised by her.

As Gu You You subconsciously said, “Wow…”.

Gu Miao Miao couldn’t bear it any longer and coldly interrupted her.

“You are so noisy.”

She didn’t know whether Gu You You was acting stupid or she had really become stupid now.

She only knew that she and Gu You You would never become good sisters who would love and care for each other, so she simply cleared it out.

“Gu You You, I don’t want to play little sister and elder sister games with you, and I am not interested in acting with you. If you are dissatisfied with me, just come to me directly, don’t act stupid here.”

After speaking Gu Miao Miao stared at You You’s blank eyes and spoke ruthlessly and rationally.

“I know you are not stupid at all, you’re smart, very smart. But I will advise you not to use these scheming methods on me. I’ll never swallow my grievances again. Do you understand?” 

As the voice fell, the room became silent 

For a long time, You You blankly looked at Gu Miao Miao with her round and bright eyes.

She was seriously looking at her.

After a while, Gu Miao Miao unexpectedly found that her bright eyes were covered with thick mist.

Thinking that the little girl was going to play the scene of “going to please her sister but get scolded by her”, Gu Miao Miao vigilantly looked around, as if someone would come in from the door in the next second and would start scolding her indiscriminately.

But no one came. Only the little girl was bowing her head and rubbing her eyes. 

You You sniffed her nose, and said softly in a milky voice, “I understand.”
