Chapter 11: Wow, It

"Little sister?"

As soon as these words were out, Fu Sijing's eyes instantly rounded as he looked at Luo Xixi, "A foster sister? A romantic interest?"

Luo Xixi: "..."

As expected of a playboy, his associations were perfectly in line with his persona!

"My biological sister!"

"What's the situation? Isn't your sister Shiqing? When did you get another one?"

"It's a long story."

Luo Xichuan clearly did not want to discuss too much family business.

"... Oh?" Fu Sijing's gaze swept over Luo Xixi and Luo Xichuan, and seeing the similar brows of the two, he suddenly understood—so this one was the real deal.

"Hello, my name is Fu Sijing, I'm a good friend of your brother's. How should I address you, little sister?"

Fu Sijing immediately greeted Luo Xixi with a friendly demeanor.

"Luo Xixi."

"Oh, so it's little sister Xixi~"

Luo Xixi: "..."

She had goosebumps all over.

Fu Sijing's eyes darted, and he smiled as he extended an invitation to Luo Xichuan: "Xichuan, since your sister is home, you have to bring her out for everyone to meet, right? It just so happens that a few of the brothers are here today; let's get together, and everyone can get to know each other."

Luo Xichuan felt there was some merit to this, but he still looked at Luo Xixi and asked, "Xixi, what do you think?"

Luo Xixi put on a well-behaved and shy appearance, saying, "I'm fine with anything, I'll listen to Big Brother."

【Oh my, what a hassle. Anyway, our relationship will break down in the future and I'll become someone everyone wants to beat up, so what's the point of building a good relationship now? I hope Big Brother can see my resistance beneath my well-behaved exterior and refuse decisively!】

"Alright, then let's get together."

Luo Xichuan said to Fu Sijing.

Fu Sijing was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Great, then let's head to the private room together."

Luo Xixi: "?????"

【Damn! As expected, there's absolutely no telepathic rapport!】

"..."

Luo Xichuan looked at the dejected Luo Xixi, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't understand why this girl always felt that their relationship would break down and turn into enmity. He wanted to use his actions to tell Xixi that the day their relationship broke down would never come.

Fu Sijing brought Luo Xichuan and Luo Xixi to the private room.

When they reached the door, Fu Sijing turned back to give them a mysterious smile and said, "Actually, there is a rare guest today, and I can introduce you to him."

"A rare guest?"

Luo Xichuan furrowed his brows.

The Baby System suddenly came online to remind Luo Xixi.

【Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Host, please be aware, the Male Lead of this text is about to come online!】

What?

The Male Lead is online?

The female lead hasn't even triggered the plot with the Male Lead yet, so how did she end up meeting him first? Can she skip this?

But before Luo Xixi could find a reason to slip away, that jerk Fu Sijing had already pushed open the door to the private room and greeted the people inside with a smile: "Everyone, sorry, sorry, I'm late."

As soon as these words were out.

The people at the table turned their heads to look.

"Old Fu, you finally arrived. Huh? Isn't this Xichuan? A rare guest! And who is this young lady beside you...?"

Fu Sijing smiled and introduced her: "This is Xichuan's sister, her name is Luo Xixi."

Upon hearing the three words "Luo Xixi."

The handsome man sitting in the middle with a lazy posture suddenly lifted his eyes and looked in Luo Xixi's direction, a complex emotion flashing through his deep pupils, "Luo Xixi?"

"What's wrong? President Sheng, do you know her?"

The person beside him heard Sheng Tinglan's murmur and asked.

"..."

Sheng Tinglan's thin, red lips pressed together slightly, his gaze wandering over Luo Xixi's face as if he were carefully and earnestly comparing something. Finding nothing, a flash of disappointment crossed his dark eyes, and he withdrew his gaze, saying calmly, "I don't know her."

And just at this moment—

"Ugh!"

Luo Xixi made a vomiting motion directly toward Sheng Tinglan.

Sheng Tinglan: "..."

Was it his imagination? He felt like this woman had vomited at him.

Luo Xichuan, standing to the side, was startled by his sister's reaction and hurriedly leaned in to ask: "What's wrong? Xixi, are you feeling unwell?"

Luo Xixi covered her mouth and shook her head. Fu Sijing, who hadn't expected this situation, said to Luo Xichuan, "There's a washroom at the end of the hall to the left, take Xixi there first."

"Mm."

Luo Xichuan supported Luo Xixi and said, "Xixi, let's go."

After Luo Xichuan and Luo Xixi left, Fu Sijing gave a sheepish smile to the confused crowd in the room and said, "It's nothing, nothing. The young lady isn't feeling well, everyone please continue."

By the washroom.

After Luo Xixi finished vomiting, Luo Xichuan handed her a tissue and said, "Xixi, are you feeling better?"

Luo Xixi took the tissue to wipe her mouth, smiled at Luo Xichuan with some embarrassment, and said, "I'm much better, Big Brother."

But Luo Xichuan was still very worried and said, "If you aren't feeling well, let's go back first. Don't force yourself. It's my fault; I shouldn't have forced you to come."

At this moment, Luo Xichuan regretted it.

He had already heard Xixi's inner voice and knew she did not want to attend such a banquet, yet he had still insisted on bringing her, never once considering his younger sister's feelings; he claimed he would treat her well, yet he remained self-centered.

Seeing her eldest brother looking extremely regretful, Luo Xixi hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, Big Brother, don't blame yourself, I'm really fine."

【It's just that I saw something dirty, and I couldn't help but vomit.】

Luo Xixi truly had not expected that the Male Lead of this world would look exactly like an "old acquaintance" from her previous life; back then, she had regarded that person as her salvation and had been eager to give him everything she had, only to realize later that while she treated him as her light, he had treated her as a tool.

After seeing reality clearly, Luo Xixi had completely cut ties and ended things with that person.

As for why she still had such a strong reaction upon seeing someone similar now, even after having ended things, Luo Xixi felt that it was probably like accidentally eating excrement; from then on, whenever she saw something similar, she couldn't help but associate it with that pile of excrement, and so wanting to vomit was perfectly natural.

Something dirty?

Hearing his younger sister's inner voice, Luo Xichuan was somewhat puzzled.

What dirty thing did Xixi see in the private room just now? Did she mean a person? Or some kind of supernatural thing?

Because he was worried about his younger sister, Luo Xichuan still felt it would be better to take her back, so he said, "Xixi, how about we just go back first?"

"Big Brother, I'm really fine."

Fearing that her eldest brother would blame himself, Luo Xixi hurriedly shook her head again, "I feel much better now; what happened just now was truly an accident. If I feel like I can't hold on, I will definitely tell you."

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"Mm-hmm! (⊙v⊙)"

Luo Xixi nodded heavily, her eyes revealing twelve thousand percent sincerity.

Looking at his younger sister's incredibly well-behaved appearance, Luo Xichuan's heart softened into a puddle; he raised his hand to gently rub the top of Luo Xixi's head and said, "Alright, then let's go over."

"Okay, Big Brother."

Luo Xixi followed Luo Xichuan back into the private room, and Fu Sijing immediately stood up to greet them, "Xichuan, Xixi, over here, over here. As it happens, I hadn't finished introducing everyone just now; this is President Sheng, Sheng Tinglan. He has been abroad all this time and only recently shifted his business focus back to the country. Come to think of it, your two families are old acquaintances."

"Hello, President Sheng."

Luo Xichuan walked over and greeted Sheng Tinglan.

"Hello."

Sheng Tinglan also responded, then his gaze glanced faintly at Luo Xixi once more, and then—

"Blegh—!!!"

Luo Xixi could not control herself and covered her mouth to retch again.

Sheng Tinglan: "???"

【Oh my god! The trauma that dirty thing left me with is just too deep!】

Luo Xichuan: "..."

So the dirty thing Xixi was talking about refers to Sheng Tinglan?
