Is there no end to this?

"Are you two ever going to finish?"

The heavy sound of a slamming door echoed through the quiet living room. Na'er, hiding behind Qiangu Wuji, shivered slightly, her hands gripping his arm even tighter.

Qiangu Wuji turned his head to look at her. The little girl looked terrified; seeing him look over, she stuck out her tongue and said.

"Big sister is so scary. Does she hate Na'er?"

Qiangu Wuji shook his head with a laugh and ruffled her hair.

"How could she hate you? She's just in a bad mood, don't overthink it."

Honestly, how could anyone hate themselves?

Hearing this, Na'er let out a sigh of relief, then blinked her large eyes and looked at him curiously.

"What is it?"

Qiangu Wuji was puzzled, subconsciously touching his face, wondering if there was something dirty on it.

Na'er stared for a long while, then gave a sweet smile.

Seeing the chicken leg, Na'er laughed happily. She didn't mind at all, grabbing it directly with her small hands and eating until her mouth was covered in grease.

"Mhm."

The two walked to the academy together, but despite walking side-by-side, they remained silent.

Just as he was feeling a secret sense of regret, Na'er's crisp voice suddenly came from beside him.

However, before he could pass it over this time, there was a loud bang. Gu Yue slammed her chopsticks onto the table, stood up, and walked over, taking the entire roast chicken from in front of him.

"You are sitting over here with me."

This left him truly stunned. What was Gu Yue's meaning?

Honestly, even Qiangu Wuji, a transmigrator who knew the plot, couldn't make sense of her attitude.

Was Gu Yue's personality like this in the original work?

Leng Yaozhu watched this scene from the side, smiling so hard she couldn't close her mouth, and finally, she was the first to speak.

Her behavior amused Qiangu Wuji. As expected, Na'er as a child was truly super cute!

Qiangu Wuji didn't know what Gu Yue was angry about, but considering her personality was already a bit eccentric, he couldn't be bothered to look for trouble.

It was clear that Na'er had been frightened by Gu Yue, to the point where she didn't even dare to speak to Qiangu Wuji anymore.

She said nothing, simply standing up slowly and walking to Gu Yue's door to knock.

At this moment, it happened to be time for class. Just as they sat down, Lin Ximeng walked in right behind them.

"Um, Brother Wuji, Na'er wants to eat that..."

"And you, are you ever going to finish? Does she not have hands, or is she disabled?"

Today was the day Qiangu Wuji and Gu Yue were officially enrolling in Hongshan Academy, so the two of them had climbed out of bed early.

They were all exquisite dishes, laid out across the entire table.

Leng Yaozhu clearly liked Na'er as well; seeing this, she smiled and invited her to wash her hands and join the table.

They weren't idle during the meal, as Leng Yaozhu spoke about what had happened while she was out.

These words were not just for Na'er, but also for Qiangu Wuji.

Qiangu Wuji snapped back to reality and noticed that Na'er was staring at the roast chicken on his plate with glowing eyes.

Mhm, tastes like chicken, crunchy and delicious.

Qiangu Wuji naturally knew about this result, so he wasn't surprised, but he certainly couldn't show it, so he deliberately feigned shock.

In the evening, Leng Yaozhu returned, and when she came back, she had packed a lot of food.

"Wuji, I investigated this child's identity. It's very strange; I couldn't find her family." She paused, her expression growing a bit more solemn. "I couldn't even find any of her personal information."

After sitting down, she stiffly added another sentence.

As her voice fell, the three of them nodded silently and began the synchronized task of shoveling rice.

It was just that because her arms were too short, she could only look on with envy.

"In a bad mood?"

Qiangu Wuji knew she had a big appetite, so he didn't mind the trouble and tore off another chicken leg for her.

The dinner ended quickly, and nothing else happened during the meal.

"From today on, whenever we eat at home, you will sit with me."

Qiangu Wuji's face darkened. He pinched her little cheek with a bit of force and said unhappily.

Soon, one chicken leg was finished. She licked her lips, still wanting more, and then looked longingly at the other chicken leg.

She pointed to the opposite side of the dining table, a spot quite a distance away from Qiangu Wuji.

"You're really pretty, Big Sister?"

After saying that, she glared at Qiangu Wuji again.

As soon as the young girl emerged, her gaze immediately landed on the two of them. Seeing them sitting so close together, her expression turned even colder in an instant.

Qiangu Wuji nodded, though he thought with regret that Gu Yue and Na'er would eventually have to merge, so perhaps that day would never come.

Facing his puzzled look, Gu Yue said nothing, simply walking slowly to the dining table before grabbing Na'er's small hand without a word and pulling her up.

However, before leaving, Leng Yaozhu looked around the room and finally asked with a puzzled expression.

"Then what should we do?"

Having already eaten ten pieces of bread, Na'er began to drool the moment she saw the food again.

This left him very surprised; what was wrong with Gu Yue today? She looked as if someone owed her millions.

"If there's anything you want to eat in the future, just tell me!"

Leng Yaozhu was taken aback, her gaze immediately shifting to the two sitting tightly together. As if she had realized something, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

"Alright, let's all eat first. You little ones must be hungry, right?"

Before long, Gu Yue came out.

Na'er looked bewildered and helpless, casting a pleading look at Qiangu Wuji for help, but Gu Yue didn't give her a chance to speak, pulling her over to sit down.

Seeing this, Qiangu Wuji didn't think much of it and used his chopsticks to serve her a chicken leg, placing it right in front of her.

"What sister? Call me brother! I am your handsome and dashing Wuji brother!"

Leng Yaozhu looked at Na'er, pondered for a moment, and said.

Even from a distance, Qiangu Wuji could feel the chill radiating from her.

Qiangu Wuji was dumbfounded, the chicken leg suspended in mid-air as he didn't know where to put it. He eventually placed it back into his own bowl and took a bite, feeling rather depressed.

"Where is Gu Yue?"

"Haha."

"She seems to be in a bit of a bad mood."

And so, just like that, the two of them headed to school together.

At this time, Gu Yue was still in her room. Hearing the question, Qiangu Wuji helplessly pointed toward the room behind him.

"Since you were the one who saved this child, we certainly can't just leave her be. Why don't you keep her by your side for now? When she grows up, we can arrange a job for her at the Spirit Pagoda."

Returning to her seat, Gu Yue pushed the roast chicken toward Na'er and shot her a cold, sharp glance.

Just like that, the night passed quickly, and the next morning arrived.

Qiangu Wuji was so hungry by now that his stomach was sticking to his ribs, so he didn't hesitate and quickly sat down at the table.

"Wuu wuu, don't bully Na'er, it hurts!" Na'er puffed out her cheeks in grievance and reluctantly called out, "Wuji brother."

The first thing Lin Ximeng said upon walking into the classroom was.

"Students, if you want to become a soul master, a good physical constitution is a must. Before we officially start the lesson, I will first test your physical fitness."

"This morning, for our first class, we will be having a physical fitness test."
