If Qu Tianyao guessed right, this woman with the faintly mocking look on her face must be the original body’s older sister, Qu Tiange a name that had once made him laugh out loud.
Qu Tiange was a straightforward person who couldn’t stand her sister’s fake, scheming manner. She became the original novel’s female lead’s good friend later on, and was extremely popular among the supporting cast, her fans had even given her an affectionate nickname: “Sister Goose.”
“You should talk less.” Just as Qu Tianci finished speaking, Qu Tiange let out a “hmph.” He was rather helpless. “You know perfectly well what A-Yao is like.”
Qu Tianyao: “…” Why did it feel like he’d just been insulted in a roundabout way?
Qu Tianci, completely oblivious to anything wrong with his words, kept up his smiling expression. “For the next few days, don’ ”
“I know.” Afraid the topic would drag on forever, Qu Tianyao quickly cut him off. “I won’t pester him again.”
Qu Tianci had a whole basketful of admonishments prepared, and hearing Qu Tianyao’s words, he froze for a moment. “Then, then good”
Qu Tiange frowned at this too. “A-Yao, are you feeling okay? Are you sick?”
“No,” Qu Tianyao said. “I’ve just come to my senses. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I want to sleep a bit more.”
Qu Tianci nodded. “Then go back to your room first.”
Qu Tianyao nodded, picked up his things, and headed toward the stairs. But after only a couple of steps, he suddenly stopped he had no idea where his own room was…
“What’s wrong?”
At the question, Qu Tianyao turned around, pressing his lips together, looking somewhat aggrieved. “I think I saw something in my room before. I’m a little scared. Could you come take a look with me?”
Qu Tianci pressed his lips together, turning serious. “Was it a person?”
” probably not.” Qu Tianyao waved his hand. “Maybe a rat or something”
Qu Tiange’s expression turned unpleasant at that. “How could there be rats in this house? Have them clean everything again!”
“Not necessarily…” Qu Tianyao nearly wanted to cry. A casual offhand lie had apparently made things a bit complicated. “Maybe it was just my imagination. Could you come take a look with me?”
Only then did Qu Tianci stand up. “Let’s go.”
Qu Tianyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and, looking frightened, followed behind Qu Tianci. After the man led him into the room and inspected it carefully, he reassured him, “There’s nothing here. If you’re still worried, have someone clean it again.”
“Okay. Thanks, big brother.”
The words slipped out of Qu Tianyao’s mouth before he could think. Seeing Qu Tianci’s odd expression, he thought for a moment before realizing why, and felt a bit awkward.
Come to think of it, the original body was supposed to be arrogant, domineering, and condescending, Was he like that even with his own family?
Under Qu Tianci’s puzzled gaze, Qu Tianyao guiltily walked toward the bed. Only when he pulled up the covers and heard the door close behind him did he relax, collapsing onto the bed.
The room was decorated in a European style, dominated by beige and gold, luxurious without any attempt at subtlety, which suited the original body’s style perfectly.
Qu Tianyao glanced around before getting up from the bed and doing a lap of the room, getting a rough sense of the layout and the things the original body used daily. Setting everything else aside, in terms of material conditions alone, the original body was miles ahead of him. At this point, he really wanted to sigh once more at his original assessment of this character: What kind of IQ does it take to play such a good hand so badly?!
