My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 5 - Even if it’s the End of the World, I Wouldn’t Like Her

"Little demon!"

Gu Beihuai got out of bed, wearing only an old tunic, his muscles solid and powerful. If Little demon were here, she would definitely gulp, wouldn't she find this more attractive than those deliberately trained muscle men?

But Wu Haipeng wouldn't care; instead, he followed Gu Beihuai curiously and asked, "Did you mistake someone? Why would Little demon willingly snuggle into your arms?"

It was rather coincidental.

Yesterday, Wu Haipeng and Gu Beihuai were together when they were caught drinking with comrades by a comrade's wife. They unrighteously abandoned their friend and fled. In the courtyard, they saw a girl walking unsteadily. Before they could see clearly who it was, Gu Beihuai had rushed over.

Wu Haipeng followed and saw Gu Beihuai carrying someone back to his house and even locking the door behind him.

Although he scratched his head, wanting to know whose daughter had caused such a reaction from Gu Beihuai, he respected his friend's privacy and didn't eavesdrop; instead, he went home to rest.

Unable to curb his curiosity, it finally erupted.

It just had to be Little demon, whom Gu Beihuai claimed.

Those who knew both of them were aware of how much Gu Beihuai and Little demon couldn't get along.

Their discord wasn't simple; it was utter loathing. She was a frail beauty, pampered by all the boys in the yard, protected by her four brothers, making Little demon almost princess-like in the courtyard.

Due to his family background, Gu Beihuai particularly despised girls who bullied others with their status and truly detested Little demon's tattletale ways.

Whenever they met, they either bickered or mocked each other. If it weren't for gender concerns, Gu Beihuai might have even gotten physical.

The mere thought of them together gave Wu Haipeng a headache.

"Was she sick yesterday?"

That was the only reason Wu Haipeng could think of; it definitely couldn't be that there was something illicit between them.

Gu Beihuai didn't want to elaborate, dismissively mumbling a response, subconsciously hiding Little demon's initiative last night and her enchanting gaze.

After washing his face with cold water, Wu Haipeng handed him a towel.

"She's had it tough, always sick since childhood, and I heard her younger sister replaced her job in the cultural troupe. If no other unit takes her in, she might have to become an educated youth."

Gu Beihuai paused, "Are people still being sent to the countryside now?"

Wu Haipeng nodded, "There's recent news that it might not be mandatory anymore, but no accurate information yet. I saw Auntie Hu from the community still taking count. Who knows, if it's still required, do you think Little demon's body can endure it?"

They couldn't help but think of Little demon's frailty. Gu Beihuai shook his head, dressed, and said, "Who cares, what does it have to do with us? Let's go find Brother Bear!"

Yet, as soon as they stepped out, they saw Hu Mingcheng walking past them. The three exchanged glances, and Hu Mingcheng snorted coldly, quickly moving away.

Wu Haipeng snorted, "Such a jerk. If Little demon marries him, she'll be miserable!"

Gu Beihuai remembered Little demon mentioning that Hu Mingcheng liked Tang Wanqiu, her twin sister who had just returned from the countryside.

He squinted as he watched Hu Mingcheng's retreating figure, "Check him out. I remember there's been a lot of activity in the Hu Family recently!"

Wu Haipeng was stunned, looking at Gu Beihuai quizzically.

"Don't tell me you've actually taken a liking to Little demon!"

Gu Beihuai gave him a cold look, like the snow on either side of the alley, "If your brain shorts out, you could always stick it in the snow to cool off!"

Wu Haipeng chuckled, "That's good. If you two were together, wouldn't all the brothers cry to death?" They had bet that even if it were the end of the world, the two would never reconcile.

Hu Mingcheng felt unlucky as soon as he saw Gu Beihuai, and he didn't breathe easy until he reached the Tang Family's doorway.

But just as he got to the doorway, Tang Jianbing, who was about to leave the house, grabbed him by the collar.

"You little bastard, are you trying to sow discord between my two sisters?"

Tang Jianbing, who worked with heavy machinery every day, had a strength that Hu Mingcheng, the frail scholar, couldn't match. With one punch, Hu Mingcheng was down in the snow.

Hearing the commotion, Tang Wanqiu ran out and saw the two fighting. Despite her shouts, nothing worked, so she rushed to find Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia was sleeping soundly when Tang Wanqiu lifted her quilt, shocking her awake with a shiver.

She slapped Tang Wanqiu on the other side of the face, matching the slap her father had given before.

"Tang Chuxia, are you crazy?!"

Tang Wanqiu covered her face, her anger reaching the top of her head.

Instinctively, she tried to yank Tang Chuxia's hair but missed as Tang Chuxia dodged, grabbing Tang Wanqiu's wrist, twisting it behind her back, and forcing her to kneel in front of her bed.

"Didn't you know I have a terrible temper when I wake up? Even mom and dad don't dare to lift my quilt. Who gave you the guts?"

Her voice, cold yet lazy, clearly conveyed mockery and dissatisfaction.

Tang Wanqiu, pounding the edge of the kang, was in so much pain she couldn't even speak.

Tang Chuxia pushed her forward slightly, then let go and disdainfully dusted off her hands, yawning delicately as if she hadn't been the one to act just moments ago.

Tang Wanqiu collapsed on the ground, covering her shoulder, looking at Tang Chuxia as if she'd seen a ghost. "Aren't you supposed to be physically weak? How come you have such strength?"

If it weren't for the lingering pain in her body, she would have thought it all an illusion.

Tang Chuxia's eyes sparkled, and a small red mole at the end of her right eyebrow quivered, making her look like a little demon entering the world, filled with endless charm.

Clearly, her face had seemed pure before, but overnight, she had changed, startling Tang Wanqiu.

Previously, her impression of her sister Tang Chuxia was just a slightly beautiful, sickly beauty, non-threatening and even somewhat foolish. But now, Tang Chuxia was still frail, yet no longer foolish.

If she had to use an adjective, it would be "mad beauty."

"Strong? Maybe it's because I was disgusted seeing my fiancé hugging my sister. After all, a poor wounded woman will perform extraordinarily!"

Tang Chuxia pulled the quilt back around herself. The room was still cold, and without floor heating, it was really unbearable!

For the sake of survival, she might have to pick up her old profession from her previous life. But as she looked up, she saw Tang Wanqiu looking unsteady, and she laughed.

"Speaking of which, my dear sister, why did you lift my quilt?"

Grinding her teeth, Tang Wanqiu remembered she had something to ask of Tang Chuxia, "Brother Mingcheng is here; your brother hit him! You need to stop them."

Tang Chuxia stretched out a hand and pinched Tang Wanqiu's chin, tilting it slightly so their eyes met.

"Little sister, it's just a man. Is he worth you devaluing yourself and hurting your own family?"

"If you want your Brother Mingcheng to kiss you, you need to learn..."
