"Don't you dare tell anyone," Lin Fu said anxiously. "None of you are allowed to say anything, and that includes you, Fu Xing. My identity at school is nothing more than a civilian from a remote star system."
Fu Xing's hands, which were taking off his military uniform jacket, paused for a moment, and a glint of displeasure flashed through his eyes.
Fu Yue, who was always blunt, voiced someone's thoughts, "Why? My big brother isn't someone to be ashamed of, nor is he some infamous playboy."
After saying that, she even made a disdainful face at Fu Tian.
"What are you talking about?" Fu Tian was almost scared to death by his sister.
Was this the kind of thing you could say in front of your big brother?
"I didn't say anything wrong," Fu Yue said proudly. "The first time my big brother took me to school, he caused quite the sensation. Everyone envied me and tried to curry favor with me."
"How can that be the same?" Fu Tian rolled his eyes. As someone experienced in the ways of love, he quickly understood Lin Fu's situation. "Sister-in-law, I understand you...Indeed, it's better not to say anything. After all, a sister and a romantic rival are completely different. One can be won over; the other can only be a mortal enemy. Plus, the Star Network's comments about you aren't exactly friendly. We don't need to rush to prove anything."
Lin Fu felt like she had found a kindred spirit. She had felt good about Fu Tian since the first day they met; he was nice and easy to get along with. Now he had hit the nail on the head regarding what was bothering her.
"Fu Yue, you don't understand. It's like my favorite female celebrity. I can treat her brother like my own, but if she gets married one day and has a man, that man becomes the enemy of my life. Someone we'd team up to take down if needed," Lin Fu said and Fu Tian nodded in agreement.
Lin Fu nodded vigorously in agreement, "Exactly, you're right, a true confidant!"
"Haha..." Fu Tian laughed proudly, completely missing his own big brother's darkening expression.
"Big sister-in-law..."
"Just call me Lin Fu. I'm several years younger than you! Besides, I'm enrolled in the Land War Academy too. You're the top guru in this field, and I am at most your junior," Lin Fu expertly found an opening.
From the day she arrived at the Fu Family residence, she had been figuring out who was easy to talk to and who she could get close to.
For example, the old butler, from whom she wouldn't expect an extra word.
Or the reticent Fu Yue, who despite being the youngest of the siblings and of the same gender, theoretically should have been easier to approach. But Lin Fu's instincts told her otherwise; she could tell that Fu Yue was definitely not simple.
Instead, it was Fu Tian, the Land Battle specialist and the second child, who appeared to be the most straightforward in the family.
The two of them got together and talked about female celebrities on the Star Network, officially exchanging their Light Computer accounts.
Lin Fu also took the opportunity to ask Fu Tian many questions about the Land War specialty and gained considerable benefits.
Fu Tian, a genius in land combat from the Royal Starship Academy, might not compare to Fu Xing, but he had also been a notable person in his day.
"That's enough."
Suddenly, a cold voice made Fu Tian's smile instantly freeze.
Lin Fu felt a bit guilty, too. She didn't dare turn around to face Fu Xing and blinked at Fu Tian, making an exaggerated gesture suggesting that someone was a tyrant.
Fu Tian's face turned white from fright, but he didn't dare to speak.
He thought to himself, Lin Fu, don't get me into trouble!
Then he considered that after all, Lin Fu was from a small place and didn't understand many things. She certainly didn't realize that nothing, not even calculations made with her back turned, could escape the notice of someone with strong spiritual power.
Big brother must know everything.
Dinner ended in a silent atmosphere.
Fu Xing was the first to put down his utensils, and the others followed suit, but no one left the table.
Traditionally, after meals were family bonding times, moments to chat, and times for the head of the family to express care for his members.
"Ding Xuan."
As Fu Xing's cool gaze turned to Ding Xuan, the main event of the evening finally began.
