Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 13: Sister Smells So Good!

Gu Zi carried Lele to the second floor. Children have limited energy, and now that Lele had eaten and drunk her fill, she started to feel sleepy.

She gently placed Lele on the bed, which now had her light pink silk bedding and sheets. Luckily, such things were not expensive in this era, and the money she received from the Gu family was enough.

Gu Zi tiptoed downstairs, and as soon as she descended, she saw the two children tidying up the dining room.

When they noticed her coming down, they immediately stood up straight, looking stiff as if they had seen something terrifying.

Gu Zi glanced at them and said, "Lele is asleep now. Please be quieter."

With that, she walked towards the door.

Su Bing and Su Li remained stiff until Gu Zi left the yard. Only then did they relax slightly.

Su Li looked up at Su Bing and whispered, "Brother, should I follow her? We can't let her escape; otherwise, we won't have good food in the future."

Su Bing, with a disdainful look, glanced at Su Li and furrowed his brows. He said, "She's gone, that's good. It saves us from her poisoning you!"

Su Li was speechless.

The two brothers walked upstairs. They went to Gu Zi's room first.

Their father's ex-wife also lived alone in this room in the past.

Su Bing carefully pushed open the door, and suddenly, a pleasant fragrance wafted out from inside.

He was stunned and saw a vase of wildflowers on the windowsill. These were common wildflowers found on the roadside, but they looked particularly precious now. There were also books on the table and various colorful bottles and jars.

The once cold and uninviting room had completely changed, and Su Bing even thought he might be having an illusion.

He blinked, but everything in the room remained the same, looking beautiful.

The bedsheets were all light pink, and Su Le was sleeping soundly on the bed.

He quietly walked to the side of the bed. When Su Le was asleep, the corners of her mouth were still curled up, her hair was gently hanging down, and her small chest was heaving up and down.

Was this his sister?

His memory of his sister was of a messy-haired, dirty-faced child with grimy hands and feet. He cautiously touched his sister's face, and his whole body stiffened.

Was this his sister's face?

It was so soft and smooth. Why was it so comfortable?

A pleasant fragrance wafted into his nose. He leaned closer to Su Le and realized that it was the fragrance coming from Su Le's body.

'Sister smells so good!'

Su Li had also approached and looked at his elder brother, then at his little sister. He whispered softly, "Brother, our little sister smells so nice."

"Yes, she does," Su Bing replied with complicated emotions.

He gazed dumbfoundedly at his clean and sweet-smelling little sister who was sleeping so soundly. He fell into deep thought.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Zi made her way to the village cooperative.

She first bought some seasonings. Without seasonings, she wouldn't be able to make delicious dishes no matter how good her cooking skills were.

Every time she went shopping, Gu Zi was amazed by the prices in this era; they were incredibly cheap.

After buying a lot of things, she had only spent less than five yuan.

She had bought everything she needed and was about to head home when she spotted someone selling White Rabbit milk candies.

Even though daily necessities were inexpensive, White Rabbit candies were sold at more than ten yuan per catty.

Gu Zi decided to buy a little, along with some white sugar.

She thought about reminding Su Shen to bring back some spare ribs next time so that she could make sweet and sour spare ribs. Although the Gu family had good living conditions, they rarely bought spare ribs because they were expensive.

She was really satisfied with being with Su Shen now. In this era, she could enjoy many servings of sweet and sour spare ribs.

Gu Zi was originally born in 2000. At that time, her house was still a small place. There were not many electrical appliances at home. It was not even as good as Su Shen's small bungalow.

What pleased Gu Zi the most was that Su Shen didn't want her to have children.

This was a fantastic arrangement; she wouldn't have to experience the pain of childbirth.

When she returned home, it was already around five in the afternoon.

As soon as she walked in, Su Li, who had been doing his homework, immediately perked up, his eyes shining brightly.

Su Bing glanced at his little brother. Su Li was undoubtedly thinking about all the good food he could enjoy in the future.

Su Bing lightly stepped on Su Li's foot to remind him to focus on his homework.

Su Li nodded half-heartedly and then glanced at the bag of White Rabbit candies in Gu Zi's hand. He blinked his eyes hard and whispered, "Brother, she has candy, White Rabbit candies. I heard they're quite expensive."

"I'm sure there's none for you, so just concentrate on your homework!" Su Bing said impatiently.
