"You're back."
Not long after, when Tang Luochuan and Yuanen Yehui arrived at Shrek City, an elegant figure instantly appeared, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
It was none other than Gu Yue, who had long known the two would return today.
At this moment, looking at Yuanen Yehui beside Tang Luochuan—whose eyes no longer held back their affection—her expression was somewhat unsettled, and her beautiful pupils carried a profound meaning.
This day had finally arrived.
Luo Chuan had ultimately bared his shameless fangs!
"Gu Yue."
Looking at the person before him, Tang Luochuan wore a gentle and calm smile as he walked forward together with Yuanen Yehui beside him.
Seeing Gu Yue before her, Yuanen Yehui also let out a soft sigh and greeted her with a smile.
"Mhm."
Gu Yue's face showed little emotion as she responded with a smile and said slowly,
"And me! Luo Chuan Gege, Sister Ye Hui."
"I'm here too."
From behind Gu Yue, the adorable Na'er peeked out, revealing a sweet smile as she giggled.
Especially after seeing the two close individuals before her, the smile on her face grew even brighter. This scene formed a stark contrast with Gu Yue...
Luo Chuan Gege has confirmed his feelings for Sister Ye Hui, and Sister Ye Hui has become one of our sisters. Hey, isn't this double happiness?
Na'er: (●˙˙●)
"Na'er."
Looking at this overwhelmingly adorable girl, Tang Luochuan felt his heart melting, and he and Yuanen Yehui simultaneously showed a smile.
"In Shangling City..."
"Did you two have a good stay these past half month?"
Gu Yue wore a faint smile as her gaze swept over the two. Only after confirming that nothing seemed amiss with either of them did she softly ask.
Half a month...
When she learned that Luo Chuan had gone home with the other, she knew things weren't simple, but she hadn't expected it to already be half a month ago.
"Not bad. After all, it was returning to Ye Hui's home, and her family treated us very well..."
Tang Luochuan laughed heartily and said slowly.
Ye Hui's elders had indeed treated him very well—whether it was the strongest Yuanen Zhentian or his future father-in-law Yuanen Tiandang—to the point where he felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.
"When there's a chance in the future, both our Gu Yue and Na'er can visit Shangling City too. The architectural style there leans towards retro, with beautiful mountains and clear waters—it's quite a suitable place for living and appreciation."
He added.
"Mhm."
"Great, great!"
Hearing this, Gu Yue clearly showed little interest, but Na'er beside her appeared eager and excited.
"Na'er..."
Glancing at her silly sister's expression, Gu Yue shook her head helplessly.
If there ever came a day when she was driven mad by someone, it definitely wouldn't be because of Luo Chuan or the other girls around him, but rather...
Na'er, who was once one with her!
"Then it's settled."
"Next time, I'll take you all together."
Yuanen Yehui didn't see anything wrong with this and smiled gently, readily agreeing.
"..."
"Luo Chuan is back?"
At the same time, through the small group chat with Yuanen Yehui, everyone including Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and Wu Siduo had all learned about Tang Luochuan's return.
"..."
In the dormitory, Dai Yun'er stared at the message Yehui had sent on her communicator, took a deep breath, and found herself unable to calm the emotions swirling in her heart for a long time. Eventually, a faint mist glistened in her eyes.
To be honest, she was utterly jealous.
She had asked Luo Chuan twice if he would accompany her to the Star Luo Continent, and both times he had refused. But Sister Yehui...
He had just taken her along!
He had returned after meeting her family and confirming their relationship so effortlessly—how could she not feel jealous?
For a moment, Dai Yun'er's gaze fell upon the colorless, odorless powder in the transparent jar by her bedside, and her eyes hardened with resolve once more.
"Even if it means using such underhanded methods..."
"I, too, will have Luo Chuan my own way!"
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath, carefully scooped out a portion of the powder, wrapped it in a small piece of paper, and murmured to herself.
Just as she was about to head to Luo Chuan's dormitory, she noticed that Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan had entered ahead of her.
"Yun'er?"
"What's wrong?"
Shortly after, Wu Siduo also approached Tang Luochuan's dormitory and, spotting Dai Yun'er, looked at her with curiosity.
"Luo Chuan is back. Xiao Yan and Xing Lan went in first. I thought I'd wait here for a bit."
A flicker of unease crossed Dai Yun'er's face, but she managed to offer a calm, pleasant smile as she spoke slowly.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Wu Siduo didn't question it and responded with a smile, after all, she had come for the same reason.
It wasn't a big deal that Luo Chuan had been away for half a month. Under normal circumstances, everyone wouldn't have gathered so coincidentally like today. But the key point was—this time was different from before!
There was another person by Luo Chuan's side, their very own sister, Yuanen Yehui.
And this truly meant that the dream of being with Luo Chuan someday was no longer just an empty fantasy but a tangible future.
"But... there's no harm in Xiao Yan and Xing Lan going in, right? We can join them too—it's not a problem."
Wu Siduo thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, that's true..."
Before Dai Yun'er could say more, Wu Siduo had already taken her hand and pulled her straight toward the dormitory ahead.
"By the way, Yun'er, after we leave Luo Chuan's place later, I plan to visit Sister Yehui and ask her for more details about her time with Luo Chuan..."
"Would you like to come with me?"
The next moment, Wu Siduo added with a smile.
Everyone only knew that Sister Yehui and Luo Chuan were together, but as for the specifics—since the two had been in Shangling City at the time, Sister Yehui hadn't taken the time to share many details with them...
"Later? I'll pass!"
"After you ask Sister Yehui, you can fill me in."
Seeing that Wu Siduo had already rung the doorbell, Dai Yun'er had no choice but to follow along. However, she declined the offer immediately, as she still had other important matters to attend to.
"Hmm..."
"Sister Mu Xi is here too?"
Not long after, inside his own dormitory.
Tang Luochuan looked at the group on his sofa—Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Dai Yun'er, and the newly arrived Mu Xi—and felt a wave of bewilderment. He couldn't help but ask.
Is everyone so well-informed?
"It's just that we haven't seen you for a while, so we wanted to check if you've been keeping up with your forging," Mu Xi lied without batting an eye.
"Exactly..."
"We all really wanted to come see Luo Chuan," Xu Xiaoyan added, blinking and sharing a knowing smile with Ye Xinglan. Wu Siduo and Dai Yun'er echoed the sentiment.
"Well..."
"Alright then."
Hearing their seemingly sincere words, Tang Luochuan responded gently without further comment.
At that moment, Tang Luochuan never could have imagined that the hardworking and resilient Ye Hui was actually the mastermind behind this gathering of women.
"I just..."
"Did it for the sake of our sisterhood!"
Later, Yuanen Yehui declared with an earnest expression, grinning toward Tang Luochuan's direction.
Never underestimate...
The bonds between us sisters!
