I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 316 - 238: The World’s Best Sister

"Then take a look and see if Cousin’s heart is okay."

Shiqi was stunned.

She was dazed for two seconds and then instinctively grabbed.

Even though Gu Lan’s heart was being bombarded by all sorts of feelings and she felt like a rogue, she didn’t show it on her face. She looked at Shiqi with a calm expression.

In the next moment, Shiqi realized what she had done, her eyes widened in shock, and she shamefully tried to withdraw her hand...

However, she was injured and had no strength.

She wanted to cover her face but couldn’t move her arms.

In the end, she could only close her eyes and stammer, "M-Master, why are you doing this!"

Gu Lan looked down at herself.

"Uh... Shiqi, didn’t you feel anything?" Gu Lan asked cautiously, afraid the truth would shock Shiqi, considering she was still seriously injured and couldn’t handle too much excitement.

Shiqi kept her eyes shut and weakly asked, "...What should I have felt, Master?"

Gu Lan gritted her teeth and said, "I am a woman! Just like you! Whatever you have, I have too! That’s the secret I needed to tell you."

She’s come clean; she is, indeed, a woman.

Gu Lan hesitated about whether to undo her hair, as ladies disguised as men in novels or dramas are always revealed when they let down their hair.

Although she didn’t quite understand why since ancient men also had long hair...

Shiqi kept her eyes shut and didn’t dare look at Gu Lan, murmuring softly:

"Even if Master wants to reject me, there should be a more reasonable excuse. Besides, I, Shiqi, have never dared to hope for Master’s affection, and what I said earlier was just because I thought I was going to die... Shiqi is just a mere hidden guard."

Gu Lan touched herself, thinking it must be because her clothes were too thick, so she reiterated again, "I really am a woman; I’ve been disguised as a man all along."

Shiqi shook her head, quite calmly, "Master, Shiqi has been disguising as a man for years and naturally knows how a woman looks in men’s clothing—"

"No, you don’t know," Gu Lan interrupted Shiqi, "Why don’t you reach in and feel?"

She had already gone this far, yet Shiqi still didn’t believe her?

An indescribable scene floated through Shiqi’s mind, and she immediately shook her head, her face turning crimson.

Her words became even firmer, and she raised her voice, "Gu Lan! How could you treat me so lightly? What about Fifth Young Master Rong?"

She was pushed to the point of calling Gu Lan by her full name.

Gu Lan: "I really am..."

She was exhausted.

Gu Lan stared closely at Shiqi’s face with tightly closed eyes. She also couldn’t understand, how did it come to this? Where did it go wrong?

It seemed that Shiqi had resolved not to open her eyes. In the end, Gu Lan still believed that undoing her hair was useless. She hesitated, sighed deeply, and struggled to reach into her clothes, fumbling around with effort.

Finally, Gu Lan untied the straps and pulled out her chest wrap!

After doing this, Gu Lan presented it with both hands, looked down once more, and said with satisfaction, "Shiqi, open your eyes and look at me; I’m not lying to you."

Shiqi hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes, carefully examined Gu Lan’s face, and then scanned her body.

After some time, Shiqi asked suspiciously, "What did Master want me to see?"

Gu Lan: "..."

She’s at least an A!

After a long while, Shiqi finally slowly came to terms with the fact.

Because she saw the matching chest wrap in Young Master Gu’s hands.

Seeing that she finally believed her, Gu Lan let out a long sigh of relief.

She nervously watched Shiqi’s expression, afraid she might faint from sudden excitement.

Unexpectedly, Shiqi composed herself and immediately asked, "M-Master, does Fifth Prince Rong know about this?"

Gu Lan’s tone was gentle: "If you don’t mention Rong Heng, we can still be sisters—of course, he doesn’t know. This matter, I only told you."

Shiqi looked at Gu Lan, recalling Fifth Prince Rong who saved her life, and silently burned a stick of incense for Rong Heng in her heart.

Gu Lan gave Shiqi plenty of time to calm down and went behind the room screen to tidy up her clothes.

Coming out from behind the screen, she still retained the poised and elegant air of Young Master Gu.

Shiqi stared at Gu Lan steadily, still unable to accept that her cousin had just turned into a cousin sister.

How could anyone accept that?

Gu Lan moved closer to Shiqi, gently lifted her chin with a fingertip, seeming to see into her thoughts, and said softly, "It’s okay if you can’t accept it; I am still your brother."

Shiqi closed her eyes sharply, her beautiful face flushing, and stammered again, "Y-Young Master, how should I address you in the future? This is a significant matter, regarding the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion..."

"The Marquis Mansion knows, so you don’t need to worry. As for the future, you can continue calling me ’Master’. In private, if you wish, you can call me ’Brother’ or ’Sister,’ just don’t tell outsiders," Gu Lan replied earnestly.

Shiqi softly asked, "Do you prefer I call you brother or sister?"

Gu Lan smiled, "Of course, brother!"

Shiqi was silent for a moment and then reopened her eyes, staring intently at Gu Lan’s handsome face.

Her expression became more serious as she asked: 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Then, Brother Lan, do you still remember... the orchid hairpin?"

She mustered the last of her courage, her voice weak but both gentle and firm.

Gu Lan looked at her, laughing lightly, bright as the morning sun and as radiant as blooming orchids, her voice clear and melodic, easily letting one forget her gender:

"If Mianmian likes it, I can give you many orchid hairpins. My sister should naturally be the happiest little girl in the world."

Shiqi was silent for a while, nodding vigorously, bending her eyes in a smile, "Okay, Mianmian thanks Big Sister."

The fleeting glimpse of childhood, in the end, was just a child’s dream, and what else could she conjure up in her mind... Actually, she only wished for Gu Lan to be safe and happy.

"By the way, about your injury, Uncle Zhou has already found out. He sent over many supplements and also mentioned in the letter that he had already proactively informed me you are a girl," Gu Lan continued.

Shiqi smiled with relief and said:

"Father once wanted me to marry you so that the Marquis Mansion and the Zhou Family would become closer, but from the moment I became Shiqi, there was no more Zhou Mianmian in this world.

Now, as long as I become Big Sister’s confidante, Father’s wish is fulfilled... I will protect Big Sister’s secret with my life."

Gu Lan took out all the preserved fruits from her pocket and placed them on the table beside Shiqi.

What she brought from the Capital City was all here, things she couldn’t bear to eat along the way.

Gu Lan said, "Those medicines are bitter, eat more sweet things. Also, Zhou Mianmian hasn’t disappeared; once you recover from your injury, I’ll let you become Zhou Mianmian again."

Shiqi looked at the preserved fruits on the table, tears brimming in her eyes, and gently nodded.

She lost a young dream, but gained the best sister in the world.

After staying with Shiqi for a while, Gu Lan got up and took her leave, finding Rong Heng wandering outside the camp.

"Brother Hang!"

Rong Heng raised an eyebrow, his expression dark and lips slightly pursed, "Oh, done chatting with your little cousin?"

The next moment, Gu Lan had already leapt forward, pinning him against a nearby tree trunk.

The billowing long sleeves carried a hint of osmanthus fragrance, unique to Gu Lan.

"Brother Hang looks so attractive when he’s jealous."

Before Rong Heng could collect himself to retort, Gu Lan planted a quick kiss on his cheek.

"You, what are you doing?" Rong Heng’s pupils trembled, his Adam’s apple rolling slightly.

"Brother Hang actually got jealous of little sister Shiqi, actually, I was telling Shiqi..." Gu Lan deliberately paused, gazing at Rong Heng’s face, her eyes bright and radiant.

His exquisitely handsome brow and eyes were right in front of her, brows sharp and eyes deep.

Gu Lan extended her finger, gently tracing, swallowing a little.

"Telling her what?" Rong Heng asked in a low voice, his dark eyes deepening.

"Not telling—mm..."

Rong Heng impatiently bit Gu Lan’s lips.

He stared into her clear but confused eyes, somewhat clumsily prying open her teeth, swallowing her words, "Gu Lan, close your eyes."

Gu Lan’s heart was racing, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

The spring breeze softly brushed their hair, lifting a few strands to entangle them together.

Rong Heng turned around and pressed down on Gu Lan, one hand grasping her slender waist.

The tall, young figure leaned slightly, enveloping her entirely within.

Gu Lan hazily thought, Rong Heng seemed to have grown taller again.

A seventeen-year-old boy, could he still grow taller?

Does that mean she could also...

"Still so distracted?"

Rong Heng seemed to sense her distraction, pausing for a moment, his breath hot as he asked discontentedly.

Gu Lan raised a hand, wanting to swear she was very focused, but Rong Heng pressed her hand down, intertwining their fingers to one side.

He couldn’t control himself from kissing her, the sweetness was that of osmanthus, making him sink into it, inextricably.

"Young Master, this humble one—"
