Immediately, Ruan Shu's eyes lit up with a smile, and she nodded enthusiastically, accepting the two candies from her brother's hand with delicate, gentle hands.
"Thank you, brother." "I really like them."
She would always remember the young man who had given her a candy and then left when she was feeling helpless.
Ruan Qingran ruffled her soft, smooth hair.
"It seems that we are quite fated."
He never expected that the young child he had encountered, crying pitifully on the ground, would turn out to be his little cousin.
Ruan Shu blushed and smiled shyly, the faint blush on her snow-white cheeks making her look like a peach. Her smile was gentle, obedient, and incredibly soft.
"Brother, let's eat."
Ruan Qingran replied, "You go ahead, I've already eaten."
"Okay."
She obediently nodded, feeling a little excited. Her brother didn't dislike her; he even gave her candy.
But when she was eating, her brother sat across from her, propping his chin on his hand and watching her, which made her cheeks turn red!
Ruan Qingran's face exuded nobility; even when he propped his chin on his hand, he appeared excessively dignified.
He exuded an air of aloofness, and when his eyes turned cold, he seemed as unattainable as the Tian Shan snow lotus.
"I'm full."
The little girl's mouth was stuffed full of food, and her chubby cheeks were round and puffy.
Ruan Qingran's lips curved into a faint smile as he suddenly reached out and poked her chubby cheek.
Ruan Shu exclaimed, "!"!"!"
Her mouth was so full that it was almost impossible to contain the poke!
But even when her face was poked, there was no hint of blame in her clear, bright eyes. The eyes looked so clear and bright, making her appear particularly vulnerable to bullying.
He had the same thought as Ruan Xiao.
This little girl was so gentle and playful that she might have been a target for bullies when she went outside.
The first time they met, this little thing had been pitifully bullied, crying so sadly.
"Let me check if you're feeling better."
Ruan Shu swallowed the food in her mouth and obediently nodded, walking over to him.
Ruan Qingran touched her forehead. Yesterday, her fever had turned her little face red, but today it looked pale like white jade.
But there was also a hint of fragile paleness, as if with a little force, this delicate figure made of jade snow might vanish at any moment.
"It's okay."
Ruan Shu's plump lips curved upwards, and her eyes and eyebrows exuded a soft and gentle expression.
"Well, I already feel better."
The level of medical advancement in this world was completely incomparable to that of the previous world. The mild cold completely disappeared in just one day.
Ruan Qingran lightly tapped her forehead with his finger.
His fingers were long and carried a slight coolness, and his nails were neatly trimmed, possibly from prolonged use of surgical tools, with a slight callus on the fingertips.
These hands exuded a very clean sensory feeling, akin to a work of art.
"Do you want to go out and play?"
Ruan Shu blinked. "Go out?"
Since coming to this world, it seemed that apart from being taken to the mental power testing center, she hadn't been anywhere else.
She had been kept by Xiao Yuanyi in that remote rental house, hidden away as if she couldn't bear to see the light.
Ruan Shu, who found herself in this entirely unfamiliar world, also opted to retreat into her own shell, too afraid to venture out and explore the unknown.
But now, someone was asking her if she wanted to go outside.
Ruan Shu hesitated, fiddling with her fingers.
"I, I don't know."
She had been afraid before, but now she didn't know if she should go out.
Ruan Qingran held her hand and said calmly, "Then you want to."
Ruan Shu looked up, meeting her brother's amber-like eyes, which were faintly distant, as if they could not contain any emotion within them.
He took her hand and walked outside, and she didn't refuse, following him step by step.
Now, there was someone holding her hand to see the outside world, so she summoned the courage to step out.
Ruan Qingran's hovercar was silver, and Ruan Shu couldn't help but exclaim when she saw it up close.
"Do you like it?"
The cold voice came from above, and Ruan Shu nodded.
"It's beautiful!"
"Then it's yours."
Ruan Shu: (⊙o⊙)
"No need, I'll just ride in my brother's car." "I'm still so small, I can't drive."
Ruan Qingran lifted the little girl into the car. "There's an intelligent system; you don't need to drive yourself."
He walked to the driver's seat, and the intelligent system in the hovercar activated the self-driving navigation.
The young man in the white shirt leaned back in the driver's seat, resembling a noble gentleman.
Ruan Shu felt a little nervous. She clutched her skirt with her small hand and sat upright, looking straight ahead.
"Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Upon hearing her brother's question, Ruan Shu's attention was diverted.
"I, I don't know."
"Snow, explore nearby entertainment venues."
Ruan Qingran's voice was calm.
As Ruan Shu was wondering who he was talking to, a voice came from the car, and a high-tech screen appeared in front of them.
Yes, master. I am currently searching for you. Search successful. According to your request, there are a total of 1,300 entertainment venues suitable for children.
As Ruan Shu was shocked by the number, the screen in front of her changed to display an amusement park.
"This is the largest amusement park in the city." Let's see if there are any activities you like.
His long fingers pointed at the screen, and Ruan Shu's eyes widened as she listened to him talk about the various entertainment facilities.
But the next moment, she couldn't muster any excitement.
As the video played, screams could be heard from inside.
This was normal, as it would be strange if people didn't scream at an amusement park.
But…
They were using machines to launch young animals into the sky, hundreds of meters high, before catching them with winged creatures just before they hit the ground.
During this time, no safety measures were taken for the young animals.
Ruan Shu said, "Change... change to another one."
She couldn't accept that.
In the next activity, several young animals were playing with a ball on the lawn.
At first, it seemed normal, but then the animals transformed into their star beast forms and started fighting each other.
Ruan Qingran glanced at her. "Next."
Without thinking, he knew that his little cousin's small frame would not be playing, but would be used as a ball.
The next one seemed more normal, similar to a roller coaster she had occasionally seen on TV in her previous life.
But…
