Chapter 62: Peacock
Arriving at the school, Shen Tian carried a shopping bag full of clothes in one hand while texting with the other.
He was messaging Ruan Yizhen to confirm their dinner date for later this week.
. . .
The moment Ruan Yizhen received the message.
Her excitement instantly exploded.
Back at the police station, she accidentally used way too much force while handcuffing a criminal.
CRACK.
"AAAAAH! MY WRIST!"
Ruan Yizhen blinked in shock before quickly letting go.
"S-Sorry!"
The criminal nearly cried.
"You’ve apologized three times already..."
. . .
Shen Tian calmly walked into the school building.
After greeting the receptionist at the front desk, he was allowed through and eventually arrived outside Chu Luoshen’s classroom.
Knock knock.
"Come in!"
Inside the classroom, Chu Luoshen immediately straightened up and set down her lunch.
Every student inside turned to look.
Then silence filled the room.
Because Shen Tian looked absurdly handsome.
Several little girls immediately stared with sparkling eyes.
Chu Fang, who had been eating lunch beside Chu Luoshen, glanced toward the door.
And instantly dropped his sandwich onto the floor.
[WHY IS HE HERE?!]
His inner scream practically shook the classroom.
Chu Luoshen completely ignored him.
Instead, she immediately stood up and walked over to Shen Tian.
A faint blush appeared on her face as she lightly hugged him.
"It’s good to see you," she said softly while adjusting her glasses.
Shen Tian handed her the shopping bag.
"I got what you needed."
Chu Luoshen smiled slightly while taking it.
"Thank you so much."
Then she turned toward Chu Fang.
"Little Fang—"
She paused.
"...Actually, I don’t think that nickname really fits anymore."
"DON’T SAY THAT!"
Chu Fang immediately panicked.
"I’m still your Little Fang!"
Shen Tian looked him up and down before muttering,
"...That’s honestly kinda weird now, dude."
Chu Fang’s eye twitched violently.
At this moment, he was deeply regretting using the system to make himself look older so quickly.
"..." Before Chu Luoshen could say anything else...
Shen Tian casually added. "Before we continue this conversation. Can you go put on actual clothes first? You seriously look like a pervert right now."
Several students immediately nodded in agreement.
"My mommy said to stay away from men who dress like that!" one little girl said seriously.
"My grandma says decent people keep their pants on!" a boy added.
"My uncle got arrested for less!" another kid chimed in.
"I think he’s trying to attract a mate," a nerdy kid brought up.
"Like a peacock?" his friend asked.
"Exactly like a peacock."
The entire class nodded.
"A weird peacock."
"A creepy peacock."
"An ugly peacock."
"A half-naked peacock."
Chu Fang nearly coughed blood from anger.
He glared at Shen Tian so hard it looked like he wanted to kill him on the spot.
Chu Luoshen suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right..."
Her eyes brightened slightly.
"Shen Tian, can you do me a favor?"
She leaned closer and quietly whispered something into his ear.
After listening, Shen Tian slowly nodded.
"Ah... I see. Yeah, I get what’s happening."
Then he looked toward Chu Fang with an expression full of pity.
That expression alone nearly made Chu Fang explode from rage.
Clicking his tongue irritably, Chu Fang grabbed the clothing bag before heading toward the restroom to change.
Seeing the restroom door close behind Chu Fang.
Shen Tian shook his head slightly before lowering his voice.
"It seems his rapid growth isn’t only physical... He’s mentally developing at the same accelerated speed too."
Shen Tian rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"So, my guess is... He’s currently at the mental stage of a ridiculously hormonal teenager."
Chu Luoshen instantly covered her mouth in shock.
"No way... That’s impossible..."
Shen Tian sighed helplessly.
"You should probably keep a little distance from him for now."
Chu Luoshen blinked.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Tian looked toward the restroom door meaningfully.
"I’m pretty sure he views you and your sisters in a... very perverted way."
The moment those words landed...
Chu Luoshen instantly crossed her legs tightly and subconsciously covered her chest with her arms.
A look of genuine disgust appeared on her face.
’My own little brother...? Looking at me like that...?’
Her entire body shivered slightly.
She firmly decided something in her heart.
From now on...
She absolutely needed to stop being overly close with Chu Fang.
Shen Tian gave a helpless shrug.
"Well, thanks again."
Chu Luoshen quickly calmed herself down and adjusted her glasses again.
"No... thank you."
Just then.
RIIIIING!
The school bell echoed throughout the classroom.
Class was starting again.
Before leaving, Shen Tian gave Chu Luoshen one final light hug.
Her face instantly became slightly red again.
Then, as Shen Tian turned toward the door.
The door suddenly opened.
Chu Fang stepped out wearing the outfit Shen Tian personally picked for him.
The moment Shen Tian saw it...
He nearly burst out laughing.
Chu Fang himself looked like he wanted to die.
The outfit was an absolute disaster.
Nothing matched.
The pants were a completely different color from the jacket.
The shoes looked random.
And worst of all...
The shirt.
Printed directly on the front of the shirt was a giant image of Shen Tian himself.
His face.
His abs.
His upper body.
Everything.
It looked like cheap celebrity merchandise.
Shen Tian stared at him for a moment before saying with a completely straight face,
"You look great."
Then he immediately walked away while laughing under his breath.
Chu Fang stood frozen at the doorway in utter humiliation.
The students instantly exploded into laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
"What even is that shirt?!"
"Isn’t that the guy from earlier?!"
Chu Fang’s face turned red with shame as he slowly walked back to his seat.
"..." Chu Luoshen couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She put down her chalk and quietly giggled.
’It seems Shen Tian has terrible fashion sense when shopping alone...’
Still...
Her eyes kept drifting back toward Chu Fang’s shirt.
More specifically...
Toward Shen Tian’s printed body on the front.
For some reason...
She suddenly wanted that shirt herself.
’Maybe I should "borrow" it later...’
Chu Fang finally sat down in his chair.
Completely defeated.
Once Shen Tian left the school grounds, the mechanical voice of the system resounded inside his head.
[Ding!]
[Host has successfully damaged the relationship between the protagonist and his sister.]
[Chu Fang has lost 2000 Fate Value.]
[Remaining Fate Value: 15000]
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow slightly before smirking.
"Nice."
Honestly, he didn’t even do much this time.
Chu Fang practically sabotaged himself.
Starting the car, Shen Tian casually drove off.
Right now, he only had one thing in mind:
Going home for lunch.
More specifically...
Enjoying lunch while being spoiled by his harem.
He couldn’t wait to eat strawberries and whipped cream off his harem’s naked bodies.
. . .
At the end of the school day, the classroom slowly emptied out as parents came to pick up their children.
Eventually, only Chu Luoshen and Chu Fang remained inside.
Chu Fang quietly packed his bag while Chu Luoshen sat at her desk using her phone.
She was messaging her sisters in the group chat.
More specifically...
She was explaining everything Shen Tian had told her earlier.
At first, the sisters were confused.
—————
Chu Zijin: "What do you mean Little Fang is mentally becoming a teenager?"
Chu Mei: "How does that even work?"
Chu Chuchu: "Are you overthinking things?"
—————
But then...
Chu Luoshen sent them a picture.
Specifically...
A photo of Chu Fang.
—————
Chu Zijin: "bruh emoji."
Chu Chuchu: "shocked emoji."
Chu Mei:: "THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH."
Chu Zijin: "No wonder he’s been acting weird lately!"
—————
"Um... Big Sister?"
Chu Fang waved his hand slightly to get Chu Luoshen’s attention.
"Can you take me home now?"
Chu Luoshen put down her phone.
"Actually..." she said while gathering her belongings together, "can you call Father to pick you up today? I need to head home early."
Chu Fang blinked in confusion.
"What could possibly be so important that you can’t drive me home yourself?"
His eyebrow slowly raised suspiciously.
Chu Luoshen immediately forced out a calm smile.
"I have a date."
Chu Fang froze completely.
"Huh...?"
His brain nearly stopped functioning.
"A date?"
He tilted his head slowly.
"Impossible."
Chu Luoshen’s expression stiffened slightly.
Chu Fang narrowed his eyes.
"I’ve been watching y—"
He suddenly coughed awkwardly.
"I-I mean... I’ve noticed you haven’t interacted with any men enough for that to happen."
"And that guy... Shen Tian... You’ve only met him like twice..."
He slowly stopped speaking.
His eyes widened in horror.
"...Don’t tell me."
At that exact moment, Chu Luoshen’s ears instantly turned red.
Without saying another word, she hurriedly grabbed her bag and quickly headed toward the classroom door.
Seeing that reaction alone...
Chu Fang understood everything.
His face instantly twisted in despair.
The system’s urgent voice echoed inside his mind.
[Warning! Warning!]
[Host, this is bad!]
[You cannot allow another sister to kiss Shen Tian!]
[You must stop that date!]
"I KNOW!"
Chu Fang shouted loudly inside the empty classroom.
He clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his palms.
At this rate...
All of his sisters were going to get stolen away one by one.
"I have to follow her!"
