"Here we are, Sister Sisi. Look," said Gu Yangtao as they reached their destination.
Gu Sisi stood in the middle of the room, looking around. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in amazement.
The room had a large floor - to - ceiling window. On either side of the window were two rows of various succulents. They were placed there just right to receive an even amount of sunlight.
Gu Sisi noticed that each succulent had its own delicate little pot. None of them were very large, but they were all charming and cute.
There were the peach beauty with slightly pink - tipped leaves, the snow lotus in a lotus - like shape, the crystal - clear cicada - wing jade dew, the lush purple peony, the flowering living stone, as well as jade drops, black prince, star beauty, stonecrop and many other varieties that Gu Sisi didn't recognize.
Each one was unique and growing well. Gu Sisi wanted to touch them but was afraid to reach out. They looked so small and adorable.
"Did your sister Gu Chenfei grow all these?" Gu Sisi asked curiously. Just then, she saw a bear's paw succulent in a pot shaped like Xiong Er, which melted her heart.
"Yes. You wouldn't expect it. She looks like an ice queen, but she's grown a whole bunch of succulents here. When I was little, I really liked succulents. I told Gu Chenfei that in the future, I must set aside a place in my own house just for succulents. I wanted to grow a whole lot of them in cartoon - shaped pots, and each one should be different."
"Years have passed, but I didn't achieve that. She did," Gu Yangtao said.
Gu Sisi somehow felt that Gu Yangtao looked a bit lonely at that moment, so she patted her on the shoulder.
"It's okay. Sister Sisi, let's go and check out other places. There are many interesting spots. Let's go," Gu Yangtao said and walked on by herself.
Gu Sisi's hand was left hanging in the air. She was stunned for a moment but quickly came to her senses and followed.
"Sister Sisi, look! Isn't this place super beautiful? Come quickly!" Gu Yangtao's voice came from ahead. Gu Sisi rushed to catch up, afraid that if Gu Yangtao got too far ahead, she would get lost in the winding corridors on the third floor. After all, unlike Gu Yangtao, she was completely unfamiliar with this place.
Gu Sisi followed Gu Yangtao into a room. This room was not as sunny and open as the previous one. It seemed to be a more private room. There was the sound of water, but since the lights were off, Gu Sisi couldn't see clearly.
Gu Yangtao stood in front of the light switch like she was keeping a secret. She waited until Gu Sisi's curiosity was at its peak before turning on the lights.
When the lights came on, it was a world that amazed Gu Sisi. The room was like an aquarium. There were fish tanks on both sides, with all kinds of fish swimming around. Gu Sisi watched them swimming freely and was immediately captivated.
The most wonderful thing was the open - top shallow fish tank in the middle. There were some turtles in it, along with a rockery for decoration. In the deeper areas at both ends of the tank, there were some small goldfish. Their bright colors darting through the green water plants were a feast for the eyes.
Just like the succulents, Gu Chenfei probably liked to have a bit of every variety. There were probably over a hundred types of fish here, most of which Gu Sisi didn't recognize.
Looking at all these, Gu Sisi couldn't help but let out an exclamation. The fish were really beautiful. Thinking of Gu Yangtao's previous praise, Gu Sisi felt it was completely justified.
Looking at all these, Gu Sisi suddenly thought that Gu Chenfei was truly "otherworldly". Not only could she design such a complex - structured house, but she could also grow so many varieties of succulents and raise so many goldfish.
Gu Sisi found it hard to imagine how Gu Chenfei managed to balance her career, which was booming, while taking good care of all these little creatures at home.
Even if she hired someone to take care of them, it would still take a lot of time and money to arrange everything, Gu Sisi thought secretly. Sure enough, the marriage partner the Huo family had chosen for Huo Cheng was really extraordinary.
Gu Sisi suddenly felt a bit deflated. The fish in front of her seemed to lose their luster. Although Gu Sisi didn't really care that Gu Chenfei was the marriage partner recognized by Huo Cheng's parents, she still felt a bit bothered when she thought about it.
After all, she was a woman. Gu Sisi sighed silently in her heart.
"Ah! Wow, so beautiful! Look at this fish!"
"Wow, it swims so fast!"
"Little turtle, don't run away. I won't hurt you. Let me touch you, okay?"
"Hahaha, I caught you!"
...
Compared to Gu Sisi, Gu Yangtao was much more excited. While Gu Sisi only silently admired in her heart, Gu Yangtao showed all her emotions on her face.
Looking at Gu Yangtao's reaction, Gu Sisi suddenly felt like laughing. Anyone who had such a cute little sister would probably spoil her.
Only Gu Chenfei would be willing to beat such a cute little sister.
Probably infected by Gu Yangtao, Gu Sisi also began to seriously watch the fish swimming in the tank. Watching the fish swim back and forth, Gu Sisi suddenly felt calm inside.
She wondered if Gu Chenfei also had this feeling every time she saw these fish.
Dong dong dong. Gu Yangtao was knocking on the fish tank on one side, scaring the fish in the tank. They were probably used to the quiet environment and had never been treated like this before. They all scattered and fled around in the tank.
Seeing the fish's reaction, Gu Yangtao became even more excited. She changed positions several times, knocking harder and harder. She even used both hands to knock on different parts of the tank at the same time.
This little girl was so naughty. She would wait until the fish were almost calm again and then suddenly give the tank a hard knock. Or when a fish swam to the side of the tank and blew bubbles at the outside, she would suddenly go over and knock on the glass.
The fish was so scared that it didn't even dare to blow bubbles and swam far away in a hurry.
Gu Sisi helplessly rubbed her forehead on the side. Gu Yangtao with her childish nature was really cute, but she was also really naughty.
Suddenly, Gu Sisi understood why Gu Yangtao had been beaten by Gu Chenfei. This girl just looked well - behaved.
"Gu Yangtao, what are you doing!"
Gu Sisi instinctively covered her ears. She watched as Gu Chenfei stormed in, grabbed Gu Yangtao's hand and stopped her behavior.
At the same time, Gu Chenfei gave Gu Yangtao a flick on the head. Gu Yangtao covered her head and silently squatted in the corner crying.
Gu Sisi, who had witnessed the whole process, was really surprised. She had seen Gu Chenfei's gentle and elegant side, as well as her handsome and unrestrained side. But this was the first time she had seen Gu Chenfei so angry and hitting someone.
Gu Sisi watched and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
