Ruan Shu had been flying in the sky with her big brother for a long time, and by the time they landed, she still felt a bit light-headed and unsteady.
However, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes sparkled; she clearly wasn’t scared anymore.
Ruan Fengsi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Want to go for another round?”
With a soft, warm smile, Ruan Shu replied, “No need, Big Brother. Next time, I’ll go with you again.”
They had already been flying for over two hours.
“Alright, then let’s go play something else.”
Their next activity was grass sledding.
The grass here was lush and thick, and the slope was perfect for sliding down on. All it took was a simple board to have a blast.
Previously, Ruan Fengsi might have found this game too childish, preferring something like extreme surfing. But now, it seemed just right for his little sister.
He grabbed a board, sitting in the back while Ruan Shu sat in the front.
“Ready?”
With a soft, sweet voice, Ruan Shu answered, “Yes, I’m ready, Big Brother.”
With one hand controlling the board and the other holding her, Ruan Fengsi began their slide down the slope.
Ruan Shu: “Wow (⊙o⊙)!!!”
The wind brushing against her cheeks stung a little, but it was so much fun!
Flying freely across the grass with her big brother, making sharp turns here and there, Ruan Shu’s eyes widened in delight.
“You’re amazing, Big Brother!”
Ruan Shu clapped her little hands like a baby seal, visibly thrilled. Her fair, delicate face was filled with admiration—she had no idea it could be this much fun!
Ruan Fengsi’s mouth lifted into a gentle smile. Suddenly, this seemingly childish game didn’t seem so bad after all.
Some other teens also sledding down the grass looked on in silence.
For some reason, hearing that soft, sweet little voice praising her brother with such admiration made their own sledding seem less exciting.
Ruan Shu and her brother slid all the way to the bottom. Then, under her hopeful gaze, he took her for another round.
At first, Ruan Shu’s laughter was restrained and modest, but as they continued, her laughter grew louder. From time to time, you could hear her calling out, “Big Brother!” Her sweet, gentle voice carried far with the wind, catching the attention of others playing nearby.
Why did it feel like, although they were all here for fun, they were somehow completely outmatched?
Especially the parents who had brought their own kids. Watching their own children playing wildly, then looking at others’—now they understood what it meant when people say, “Nothing hurts like comparison!”
They continued playing until it was time for dinner. Only when Qin Guan came to call them did they finally stop.
Ruan Shu’s forehead was dotted with sweat. She was happy and a bit tired from all the fun, but her spirits were still high as she obediently followed beside her big brother.
Compared to the other wild kids around, Ruan Fengsi had already drawn countless envious stares.
Why couldn’t they have such a well-behaved kid? It would be so much less hassle!
Qin Guan echoed the sentiment, saying, “You’re so lucky. Your sister is unbelievably well-behaved.”
Watching her, he felt genuinely envious. If he hadn’t already seen what other rambunctious kids were like, he might have even asked his parents for a little sister himself.
Though Ruan Fengsi felt a bit proud, he looked down at his little sister with mostly affection.
She really was so obedient, though they would have loved for Ruan Shu to be a bit more lively.
Ruan Shu looked up, her eyes curving into a soft smile at her big brother.
Ruan Fengsi picked her up and sat her on his arm. “If you’re tired, just let me know, and I’ll carry you.”
Ruan Shu leaned slightly against her big brother, her little feet swaying happily.
“I’m not tired. You’re the one who’s worked hard, Big Brother.”
Qin Guan: … He was genuinely envious now. He wanted a sweet, caring little sister too.
They set up a small barbecue nearby, with a tent for camping—a proper outdoor experience.
Ruan Fengsi might not have been a cook, but barbecue was no trouble for him.
The smell of grilled meat wafted far on the breeze, and Ruan Shu followed her big brother around like a little shadow.
“Open your mouth.”
She obediently tilted her head back and opened her mouth, looking just like a baby bird waiting to be fed.
A perfectly warm piece of grilled meat was placed in her mouth, and her cheeks puffed up instantly as she chewed with focus. “It’s delicious! You have some too, Big Brother.”
Though they were barbecuing, there was no smoke or char to worry about; they used quality ingredients.
Ruan Fengsi and Qin Guan drank, while Ruan Shu held a small cup of fruit juice, sipping carefully.
It was just a simple meal and drink, but somehow, with her, it felt like feeding an irresistibly cute, fluffy little pet that could warm anyone’s heart.
This only made everyone more eager to feed her; there was something so satisfying about watching her eat.
“Wow, the way you’re raising your sister looks more like you’re raising a daughter! But hey, if I had a sister like this, I’d spoil her too,” Qin Guan joked.
Ruan Fengsi scoffed lightly. “Just keep dreaming. My sister is one of a kind.”
His tone sounded ordinary, yet Qin Guan couldn’t shake the feeling that his friend’s ego was about to soar sky-high.
Qin Guan rolled his eyes. He didn’t quite believe it—surely in the vast Star Beast Empire, there had to be another well-behaved, sweet kid like her.
Determined, Qin Guan quietly planned to post online and ask for help from the wider internet community.
As soon as Qin Guan opened the forum, a trending post caught his eye.
#Looking for Kids as Sweet as Marshal Ruan’s Little One!#
Wasn’t this exactly the question he was about to ask?
With the post already so popular, it seemed likely to have answers he wanted, so he clicked in without hesitation.
1st Comment: [Video] This is my kid, no need to thank me.
Qin Guan opened the video. A section of ground had been torn up, with patches of bare land showing, and a muddy, scruffy canine pup was rolling around furiously.
Qin Guan: …His eyes burned. Next.
2nd Comment: [Video] Yours is nothing—check out mine.
This time, the video showed another canine creature, quite a good-looking one, like a mix between a Samoyed and a Tibetan Mastiff.
But that wasn’t the focus. The room in the video was in total disarray; furniture was damaged beyond repair, even with anti-chewing devices in place. Nothing could contain the destruction wrought by this powerful pup.
The audio even captured the owner’s voice, on the verge of breakdown.
“This is the fourth set of furniture ruined this month. If this keeps up, we’ll be eating dirt. I regret it. Anyone considering having kids, please think twice unless you’ve got plenty of cash.”
Qin Guan instinctively rubbed his arms, feeling a sudden, ominous chill.
As expected, the post continued with endless showcases of chaotic offspring from other users, each one more disastrous than the last.
In the end, a user summed it all up:
Seeing Marshal Ruan’s child: “Aww, so cute! I want one just like that! A sweet, obedient daughter who can wear cute outfits!”
Seeing everyone else’s kids: “Thank you for the invite—I’m fully awake now. It’s not just about fearing our homes will be destroyed; it’s about Mother Planet bearing enough as it is. No need to add more burden to her. Let’s all enjoy watching Marshal Ruan’s little one online—it’s quite enough for me.”
