Chapter 6 Too Handsome

"You want your Brother Mingcheng to kiss you? You better start pleasing me!"

Tang Chuxia finally saw the astonishment on Tang Wanqiu's face, feeling very good. She let go of her hand and lay back in bed with a radiant smile.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. If you don't protect your Brother Mingcheng, your deep affection won't be shown here!"

Tang Chuxia yawned, turned over to sleep, and didn't care about Hu Mingcheng being beaten up outside.

Such a jerk, not worth her effort.

Unlike Tang Chuxia's indifference, Tang Wanqiu still couldn't let go of Hu Mingcheng, stomped her feet, and ran out.

Having anticipated this reaction, Tang Chuxia shook her head slightly. Women become unfortunate if they're too proactive!

Then she thought of Gu Beihuai, and her good mood vanished.

Just a man, she didn't believe she couldn't reel him in.

Unfortunately, her plan to get her beauty sleep was not to be, as someone knocked on her window.

Had the person outside not been so persistent, she would have pretended not to hear.

"Xiaxia, open the door!"

The voice outside was familiar. Tang Chuxia rummaged through the original owner's memories and matched the voice, an interesting person because she was Gu Beihuai's sister.

Wrapped in her blanket, she opened the door. Gu Nanzhi crouched and scurried in, quickly shutting the door without needing Tang Chuxia's urging and hurried to the house's only charcoal stove to warm her hands.

"Are you sick again?"

Gu Nanzhi rubbed her hands, then looked towards Tang Chuxia, who had crawled back onto the bed and hadn't moved.

Tang Chuxia grunted, "Why are you here? Isn't your brother back?"

Gu Nanzhi giggled, leaning close to Tang Chuxia, and with a wink and a nudge, said, "You know my brother's back? And you still claim to have no interest in him!"

Tang Chuxia didn't argue but accepted, "Indeed, I'm interested!"

Originally planning to catch Tang Chuxia in a lie, Gu Nanzhi's smile vanished. After a long while, she exploded like a singed cat, leaping onto the bed and hugging Tang Chuxia through the blanket.

"What did you just say?"

Tang Chuxia hadn't expected her to be so fierce. The frail body of the original owner nearly gave out on the spot, so she hurriedly gasped for breath, "Let go of me; I can't breathe!"

Realizing Tang Chuxia's frailty, Gu Nanzhi hastily got off her, lying down by her bedside, face-to-face.

"Come on, tell me! Do you really like my brother? That rigid, venomous, scheming old-fashioned man, how blind must you be to like him?"

Gu Nanzhi became more and more excited as she spoke, really disliking her brother.

Not to mention how the Tang family's four brothers always protected Tang Chuxia, just take those who acted as elder brothers in the big courtyard, weren't they somewhat caring towards their sisters? But her?

Her brother barely refraining from scolding her was him being generous. And whenever she made a mistake, before their parents could even scold her, her brother would be the first to teach her how to behave.

In summary, that Gu Beihuai was a jerk.

Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai used to be at odds, which is why Gu Nanzhi became friends with her. She initially came to plan a prank on her own brother with Tang Chuxia today but didn't expect to hear such explosive news.

Tang Chuxia, of course, knew the sibling relationship between Gu Nanzhi and Gu Beihuai. She didn't want to maintain this friendship, but thinking about what the original owner had done, having Gu Nanzhi as a friend did indeed make things much easier.

Just saw her roll over on the bed and point to the iron box on the nightstand, telling Gu Nanzhi to open it herself to eat the biscuits while she lazily said, "Who said I liked him?"

Gu Nanzhi just picked up a biscuit and stared at her in stupor.

Doubting she had heard wrong.

Tang Chuxia didn't think she had scared the young girl, but rather, she curled the corner of her mouth and gritted her teeth saying, "Of course, it's about making your brother fall for me, then dumping him!"

Just thinking about the sensation of being knocked out last night made her blood boil.

The original owner indeed had gone too far, but Gu Beihuai being able to restrain himself from touching her seriously wounded her pride.

Speaking of which, the original owner looked ninety-nine percent like her. If not for the absence of a red mole at the corner of her eye, she might really believe she had traveled to a parallel universe to her other self.

The original owner, frail and fond of Hu Mingcheng, didn't mean she was. Gu Beihuai rejecting her had just piqued her interest.

Gu Nanzhi looked oddly at Tang Chuxia, then after a long while gave a sudden start and stuffed the biscuit into her mouth, giving her a thumbs up, "Impressive!"

It wasn't that she thought Gu Beihuai would be seduced by Tang Chuxia; she knew all too well how much of a bastard her straight-laced older brother was, how many women had liked him over the years, plenty have tried and none had caught his eye.

Especially not Tang Chuxia, the two had despised each other since childhood, a dislike unadulterated by any pretense.

At this point, she didn't know whether to feel sympathy for Gu Beihuai or for Tang Chuxia.

It all seemed more absurd than what the nation described as a lunar expedition.

The two tacitly decided not to continue the topic; when Gu Nanzhi heard the noise outside, she recalled the scene she had seen when entering the house and became spirited again.

"What's up with your twin sister? When I came in just now, I saw her clinging to your little brother, protecting your fiancé."

Tang Chuxia certainly wasn't going to cover for Tang Wanqiu; these melodramatic soap operas are exactly what the public loves as gossip!

She nonchalantly said, "Naturally it's just as you saw, pretty soon nobody will know whose fiancé he is anymore!"

Gu Nanzhi's face looked as if she had stumbled upon juicy gossip, much to Tang Chuxia's pleasure.

See, that's the reaction when you come across juicy gossip, unlike Gu Beihuai, whose expressionless face isn't normal.

"Your parents agreed too?"

Gu Nanzhi continued to eat biscuits to calm her nerves. It must still be the Tang brothers spoiling their sister; these imported biscuits from overseas traders aren't something just anyone would buy, yet Tang Chuxia ate them daily.

Before Tang Chuxia could respond, Tang Jianbing's shouting from the courtyard practically answered for her.

The two hugged the quilt leaning against the window, watching outside.

"Hu Mingcheng, keep dreaming! Having the nerve to talk about changing your fiancée!"

Although Tang Jianbing didn't have as deep a feeling for Tang Wanqiu as for Tang Chuxia, she was still his sister. How could he bear to see a stranger tarnishing the reputation of his sisters?

"Brother, I genuinely don't like Chuxia. I only like Wanqiu. Since they are twins, wouldn't it be fine for either to marry me?"

Hu Mingcheng thought there was nothing wrong with this, he spoke without any burden.

Normally mild-tempered, Tang Jianbing was now so angry it felt like his crown chakra might explode.

"Don't call me brother, you're three years older than this young master, stop sucking up and acting young!" Tang Jianbing was about to act on his anger, but someone had beat him to it.

Someone had kicked Hu Mingcheng flying with a foot, even chased after to deliver more ferocious kicks, astonishingly brutal.

From behind the window, Gu Nanzhi covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Too cool!!"
