Honestly, when she was little, she really thought about tricking Lu Li into becoming her wife.
But as she grew older, perhaps due to the mutual influence of her two bodies, Gu Xiao found that she had less and less of those worldly desires.
Perhaps the saying 'the body determines consciousness' is true.
"Ah? Is that so?"
Lu Li didn't immediately understand what Gu Xiao meant, her eyes a bit lost and adorable.
"Just listen to me, that's all."
Gu Xiao didn't explain much; Lu Li would find out soon enough anyway.
"Then my luggage..."
"You can leave it at my house. Are you afraid I'd covet it?"
To be serious, she wasn't that kind of pervert.
At 9:30 AM, the fast food restaurant had completely quieted down.
In the bedroom, Lu Li picked up a book from Gu Xiao's bookshelf and sat on the bed, flipping through it, while Gu Xiao leaned against Lu Li, closing her eyes to rest.
Lu Li even shifted her body slightly to make Gu Xiao more comfortable.
Gu Yue crawled around at her two Older Sisters' feet, passing the boring time.
Finally, she also mimicked Gu Xiao, leaning against her sister and opening her smart wristband to watch cartoons.
Sunlight streamed in from outside, the air conditioner gently blew cool air—it was a comfortable morning, perfect for sleeping.
If they weren't about to leave, Gu Xiao would definitely kick Gu Yue's little bottom and tell her to close the curtains so she could get a good sleep.
Mainly, leaning against Lu Li was very comfortable; she was soft and smelled good, making one feel very sleepy.
Even Jing Yuan, who was currently at the Jing Family residence, felt a hint of sleepiness.
At this moment, he was being dragged into the main hall by his Older Sister and Her Majesty the Mother, waiting for the arrival of his female body and Lu Li.
Is this really necessary? Jing Yuan looked bewildered.
Greeting himself, wasn't that a bit too comical?
Jing Yuan couldn't quite understand the mentality of Her Majesty the Mother and his Older Sister, but under Her Majesty the Mother's intimidating power, Jing Yuan still came.
"Xiao Xiao, it's time to go."
Just as Gu Xiao was truly about to fall asleep, her mom's voice came from outside the door.
Gu Xiao and Lu Li got up from the bed, but Gu Yue, who had been watching cartoons, was now asleep.
It truly was a good day for sleeping.
After settling Gu Yue and slightly raising the air conditioner's temperature, the two carefully left the room.
"Where's Yueyue?"
Ruan Qinghuan noticed that Gu Yue hadn't come out with them and asked in confusion.
"She's asleep, let's not disturb her."
Given Gu Yue's dependence on Gu Xiao, if Gu Yue were awake, this departure would likely not have gone smoothly.
She had been wondering how to comfort Gu Yue, but now that Gu Yue was asleep, it was perfect.
As the three of them, Gu Xiao, descended from upstairs, an elderly man with white hair, dressed neatly, and looking very spirited despite his age, was chatting with Gu Zhixing in the outer room.
This was the Jing Family's old butler, Guan Heqing.
He had watched all three of the Jing Family children grow up, and in the children's hearts, this old man held a status similar to their grandfather.
Aside from a few close relatives of the Jing Family, Guan Heqing was the only one who knew about the relationship between Jing Yuan and Gu Xiao.
Putting aside Guan Heqing's standing among the Jing Family, he usually managed all the household's affairs, big and small.
It was also convenient when Gu Xiao needed help on a daily basis.
Although Guan Heqing's character meant he wouldn't look down on Gu Xiao because of her background, the family power that a guest could mobilize was certainly different from that of a family member.
Guan Heqing was very talkative; even with an age gap between him and Gu Zhixing, the two still got along very well.
This, of course, relied on Guan Heqing's professionalism; as a qualified butler, this was a very important aspect.
Moreover, this was Miss Xiao Xiao's biological father, and Guan Heqing had automatically classified him as someone on par with Jing Dongfeng and the others.
"Grandpa Guan."
Gu Xiao came down from upstairs, smiling and greeting Guan Heqing.
"Miss Xiao Xiao."
Guan Heqing turned to look at Gu Xiao, and although there was no expression on his face, he was extremely surprised in his heart.
Born with one soul and two bodies—he had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.
"This is my childhood friend, Lu Li."
"This is the Jing Family's head butler, Old Guan."
Gu Xiao turned around and introduced Lu Li and Guan Heqing to each other.
"Hello, Grandpa Guan."
Lu Li greeted him very politely.
"Oh, hello."
Guan Heqing responded with a very kind smile.
"Then, Dad, Mom, we're leaving."
After saying goodbye to her family, Gu Xiao and Lu Li followed Guan Heqing outside the store.
At this time, many people had gathered outside the Gu Family Fast Food Restaurant, all looking at a hovercar not far away.
Its streamlined body, painted in an interwoven aurora purple and deep-sea blue, adorned with silver-gray patterns, and a whale-like tail fin at the back.
Below the car were four hovering rings, glowing with sky-blue light. The entire car shimmered crystal-like in the sunlight, every part of its body proclaiming its high cost.
The latest model hovercar produced by Yunxiao Heavy Industries, the Skywalker.
One car alone was close to a small fortune, almost comparable to a Tier 3 mech.
It's worth noting that a Tier 3 mech can unleash power equivalent to a Colonel Rank Professional.
It's worth mentioning that for ordinary university students, the mech major is probably the only way for those who haven't awakened as Professionals to change their fate against all odds.
However, the power of mechs is ultimately limited; currently, the strongest Tier 6 mech is only equivalent to the level of a King Rank Professional.
On one hand, the materials required to manufacture mechs are difficult to acquire, and on the other hand, the physical fitness of the pilots does not meet the requirements.
Currently, the strongest gene enhancement serum can at most grant ordinary people the physique of a Captain Rank Professional, and piloting a Tier 6 mech is already their limit.
Moreover, to pilot a Tier 3 or higher mech as if it were an extension of one's own arm, one needs to integrate their mental power into a smart core, which makes it impossible for Professionals to pilot mechs, as it's almost equivalent to crippling themselves.
Also, the strongest mech that can currently be built is only a pseudo-Tier 7; true Tier 7 and stronger mechs involve technology that Azure Star has not yet conquered.
As Guan Heqing led Gu Xiao and Lu Li closer, his wristband received a message notification, and the hovercar's door slowly opened.
"Miss Xiao Xiao, Miss Lu Li, please get in."
Guan Heqing held the rear car door with one hand and gestured with the other, inviting them to get in.
As Gu Xiao and Lu Li got into the car, Guan Heqing placed a hand above their heads to prevent them from bumping.
After the two got in, the hovercar door slowly closed, and Guan Heqing also took the driver's seat.
As the hovercar lifted off and departed, the people below began to discuss.
"That's the Gu Family's daughter, right? Do they have connections like that?"
"Having rich relatives isn't a rare thing these days."
"Do you have any?"
"No."
"…"
