CHAPTER 969: CHAPTER 969: HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN’T KNOW

After calling Gu Xingruo, Gu Zhiqi went back to her room to recharge.

Soon, she came out of the room.

Gu Zhiqi and Gu Xingruo’s rooms weren’t far from each other, just separated by one room in the middle.

As soon as Gu Zhiqi walked out of her room, Gu Xingruo started stepping forward, walking toward Gu Zhiqi.

Halfway there, Gu Xingruo noticed something was wrong.

No way...

Why has Gu Zhiqi’s room been moved back?

Gu Xingruo’s steps paused slightly, and he was momentarily stunned on the spot.

Seeing Gu Xingruo come out of the room, Gu Zhiqi intended to go downstairs. She had just taken two steps when she was called.

"Gu Zhiqi!"

A clean yet cold young voice came from behind.

Gu Zhiqi stopped her steps and glanced back.

Gu Xingruo took big steps and walked up to Gu Zhiqi, staring directly at her, "You... you’re back, aren’t you?"

Gu Zhiqi: ?

Seeing the confusion at the bottom of Gu Zhiqi’s eyes, Gu Xingruo realized that his question seemed a bit random, so he corrected himself, "Who allowed you to stay in that room?"

Just from hearing this, it felt like a questioning tone, but combined with the slightly nervous way he spoke, it seemed more like... confirming something.

Gu Zhiqi: "The key was given by Gu Yuluo."

Gu Xingruo froze for a moment upon hearing this, "She came back?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded.

Gu Xingruo: "She knows too?!"

This question left Gu Zhiqi puzzled, so she didn’t respond to Gu Xingruo.

Gu Xingruo asked again, "Do Dad, Mom, and Gu Huaijin know about you moving into that room?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded again.

Gu Xingruo: "..."

Damn it!

In the end, he’s the only one who didn’t know.

Who isn’t part of the Gu Family, after all?!

"Time to eat." Seeing that Gu Xingruo wasn’t speaking further, Gu Zhiqi tossed this sentence and then headed downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xingruo immediately followed Gu Zhiqi with quick steps, "What did you just call me?"

Gu Zhiqi: "Called you for dinner."

Gu Xingruo: "...No, not that, you called me by name just now."

As he spoke, Gu Xingruo struggled to keep up with Gu Zhiqi’s pace.

In doing so, he realized this girl was walking really fast, like she was rushing to be born.

As a result, while he followed awkwardly, she seemed to be strolling as if in a leisurely garden.

Gu Zhiqi: "Oh, I did call you."

"How can you just call my name directly, I’m your fourth brother, you’re supposed to call me..." Halfway through his words, Gu Xingruo suddenly paused, looking at Gu Zhiqi and then at her footsteps.

He was using Ancient Martial Arts to keep up with her pace, so...

"Has your Ancient Martial Arts recovered?"

The abruptness of Gu Xingruo’s question made Gu Zhiqi involuntarily glance at him.

Then, under Gu Xingruo’s persistent gaze, Gu Zhiqi casually answered this obvious question, "I suppose."

Once again, Gu Xingruo was stunned.

Ancient Martial Arts recovered?

Personality changed back?

Moved back to the old room?

So... has she really returned? She must have, right?

As Gu Xingruo thought, he suddenly smiled.

The young man, already looking clean and serene, smiled warmly and purely, like the brightest star in the night sky.

After going downstairs, Gu Xingruo saw that Gu Zhiqi and Gu Xiyue were already sitting by the dining table.

The two delicate girls sitting together painted a harmonious image, and on top of that, Gu Xiyue even gave Gu Zhiqi a piece of her favorite sweet and sour ribs.

Looking at the extra ribs in the bowl, Gu Zhiqi slightly tilted her head, saying, "Thank you, sister," to Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xingruo: ?!

Sister?

Everyone was born on August 8, 8888, so why does she call her sister and call me Gu Xingruo?!
