They were probably close enough for Ruan Shu’s soft, sweet cheers and her expressions, which changed with the battle on the field, to be recorded clearly.
When she was worried, her small hands would clasp tightly together, her beautiful face expressive and easy to read.
After seeing her brother win, she was so excited that her cheeks flushed with pride. She clapped with all her might, her little lips curved up, and her eyes shining brightly like they could glow.
In short, aside from the two star beasts battling on the field, she was the most captivating person there.
It was a stark contrast—the power and brutality on the field versus her gentle, endearing demeanor.
The original poster smartly paired the video of the battle with her video, creating a beautiful contrast that led to the post gathering hundreds of comments within minutes.
Naturally, the people in Ruan Ling’an’s dorm saw it, too.
“Damn, this guy is good. Putting these two videos together is pure genius.”
Ruan Ling’an was long used to being a regular on the school forum. Not only him, but many highlights of the school’s influential figures were frequently posted on the forum for others to watch and learn from.
The school even encouraged this kind of thing.
But he rarely browsed the forum himself.
This time, however, something unexpected happened—his little sister was also on the forum.
“Bro Ling, take a look! It’s a video of Shushu cheering for you.”
With a hint of envy, he added, “If I had a little sister who cheered for me in that cute voice, I’d fight to the death just to make her proud!”
“Let me read some of the comments from our classmates. Ahem… ‘I’ve probably only watched the video of the sister cheering for her brother a few dozen times. I saved it, so I can loop it whenever I’m in the ring with someone. Rounding up, I’m basically her brother, too.’”
“And this guy took it a step further. He paired his own battle video with Shushu’s, saying, ‘That’s right, I’m the brother she’s cheering for.’”
“Hahaha… These guys are really something. Now tons of people are editing Shushu’s cheering video alongside their own battles.”
“The girls didn’t take it lightly either. They’re looking for someone to change her voice clip, specifically swapping the word ‘brother’ with ‘sister’.”
Rong Jun, who loved a bit of gossip, narrated the whole dorm scene like a host.
Ruan Ling’an’s face was expressionless. “Shut up. We’ll check it out ourselves!”
He opened the school forum, and he didn’t even need to search. The post was already trending, with thousands of comments and rising.
Just as Rong Jun said, a lot of people were pairing Ruan Shu’s cheering video with their own battle videos, showing off as if they were the ones being cheered for.
Suddenly, Ruan Ling’an found himself with a bunch of “siblings” from different parents.
Ruan Ling’an: “…”
“Are they out of their minds?”
The big lion was officially losing his cool. “That’s my sister. Who do they think they are, calling themselves her brother or sister? Do they not have their own sisters? Leeching off someone else like this—who do they think they’re fooling? I don’t have such a huge family!”
Unable to keep up his usual cool persona, he began ranting, then started reporting every person claiming to be Ruan Shu’s “brother” or “sister.”
Report Reason: Spreading false information.
Whether it would work or not, he didn’t care. He was going to report them all.
And then, things got even more ridiculous—people started claiming to be Shushu’s “mom” and “dad.”
Ruan Ling’an: “…”
“Do these people have nothing left to live for? Are they courting death or something?”
His roommates: “…”
Rong Jun laughed, “Bro Ling, don’t you know there’s a type of fan called ‘mom fans’ and ‘dad fans’?”
Ruan Ling’an rolled his eyes, “They have too much free time, huh? They’re not even that old, and they want to be someone’s mom or dad?”
Report. Report them all.
He even gave a like to the original poster’s video, to assert that he was the little one’s real brother!
Seeing Ruan Ling’an completely converted, the three roommates couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
They all still remembered how he once swore he would never like his little sister.
Meanwhile…
Ruan Shu and Ruan Fengsi had just returned home, and the first thing Ruan Fengsi did was scoop up the little girl to wash her hair.
After washing out the white fur, he seated her on his long legs and carefully blow-dried her soft hair.
This time, he was much gentler than when he’d nearly yanked her hair out before.
Ruan Shu sat cross-legged and obedient, not moving a bit as long as her brother didn’t tug her scalp.
“All done. Time to get ready for bed.”
Ruan Shu let out a soft little “meow,” then turned into her cat form, curling up on her brother’s lap and yawning.
The little cat wagged her tail, nuzzling her brother’s hand in a playful, coaxing way, practically pleading, “Carry me to bed, please!”
Ruan Fengsi picked her up and gave her a gentle rub on her little head. “You lazy thing!”
Ruan Shu lifted her little chin and placed it into her big brother’s hand, as if saying, Here, scratch my chin. Thanks for the hard work, big bro!
The lazy little kitty, unwilling to walk on her own, was carried to her bed, where she promptly snuggled into her soft cat bed and even waved goodbye to her big brother.
When Ruan Shu sleeps as a cat, she likes to curl up, her tail covering her head as she burrows into her bed. Her sleep is so deep that she’ll snooze until the sun is fully up.
But Shushu didn’t forget what she needed to do. The next morning, after washing her face and brushing her teeth, she got busy.
First, she packed up some mooncakes, confirmed her big brother’s and second brother’s current addresses, and shipped them out. She even sent a same-city delivery to Almer and took a picture for him.
Ruan Shu: Remember to sign for it—these mooncakes are for you!
Almer: Got it. I’ll come see you in a few days after I finish up my work.
Ruan Shu acknowledged, then set the kitchen’s robotic assistant to a timed soup-cooking program.
She had already asked the family butler to buy all the ingredients.
With everything arranged, she brought a few packs of mooncakes and got in the car with her big brother. She was off to visit her brother Qingran at the hospital, while her big brother headed to the company.
As a result, Ruan Fengsi’s face didn’t look too happy the entire morning.
“You’ve already given him mooncakes. Why stay at the hospital? Wouldn’t it be better to come to my company?”
Ruan Shu glanced at him and replied, “I heard it all; Brother Xie Yun has called you so many times already. Big Brother, you’re really busy. I’d only be in your way if I came along.”
Ruan Fengsi chuckled, giving her a sideways look. “How exactly would you get in my way?”
Ruan Shu gently soothed him, “I’ll wait for you at Brother Qingran’s place, okay? Besides, I haven’t visited Brother Qingran’s workplace in a long time.”
Ruan Fengsi scoffed, “Is that somewhere you can visit all the time?”
Ruan Shu, holding her hands and fidgeting with her feet, replied, “I’m not going there for treatment, Big Brother. And don’t forget to give the mooncakes to Miss Secretary, Brother Xie Yun, and your assistants.”
“Yes, yes, got it. You’re the busiest one around, aren’t you?”
Always worrying about this and that.
“Big Brother, you’re the best~”
Ruan Shu, in her increasingly cat-like way, was getting very good at sweet-talking.
Ruan Fengsi liked hearing this; his lips curled into a smile, and his usual fierce look softened. For once, it didn’t seem like everyone wanted to avoid him.
