Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 637 Hours

For the first time, Xu Weiwei realized that her third brother, who was only one year older than her, cared about her more than she had imagined.

Thinking about it carefully, Ryan is only 17 years old. His childishness hasn't completely disappeared. Can't all his previous behaviors be explained by child psychology? Children sometimes tease the people they like; it's a way for them to get attention.

Xu Weiwei suddenly realized that he wasn't being shameless after all!

No, it's still pretty cheeky... but if it's based on love, it seems to become cute.

After Ryan calmed down a bit after crying, he began to feel ashamed.

He cried like this in front of his sister! His image is ruined! All the authority he'd worked so hard to build is gone! This girl will never treat him like a brother again!

“I’m thinking of my parents… You’re their only daughter, they cherish you like the plague… They can’t bear to say anything harsh to you, so as their older brother, I have to take care of you for them…” Ryan’s voice was muffled as he tried to salvage his image.

Xu Weiwei harbored the thought of "making up," and didn't want to see Ryan continue to use the guise of being an adult to show concern for him. Wouldn't it be better for a child to be more open and honest? So she sincerely said:

"I understand, Third Brother, I love you too."

Ryan was caught off guard by this direct question, his ears and face flushing red instantly. When had he ever received such treatment? Watching his sister and the rest of the family being all lovey-dovey, he had always only felt envious and jealous. Why was he suddenly being told to sit down for dinner? And at a state banquet no less.

He can't adapt all of a sudden! His mind is blank! What is he supposed to say?! Ah—!

Ryan was bubbling with happiness. Not good at being sentimental, he could only hug his sister, swaying and nuzzling her, humming softly in his throat. Like a cat high on catnip.

When Xu Weiwei finally pushed the person away, she could no longer bear it, and her hair had turned into a sea urchin.

Suppressing her agitation, Xu Weiwei got down to business: "What's the situation now? Are we still in the same place?"

Ryan became serious in an instant: "The main ship is still there. The two escort ships, along with half the crew and two-thirds of the Black Knights, went to the bombed village."

Last night, they searched until late into the night, covering an area of ​​dozens of kilometers before calling it a day to make sure no survivors were left behind.

At that time, they had been on Goodluck for 12 hours. They had rescued 309 local residents and found thousands of bodies. Apart from those that were severely damaged and difficult to retrieve and were buried on site, 1327 bodies were brought back intact.

This is still some distance from the total population of Goodell. Undoubtedly, a group of people have fallen into the hands of the invaders.

There's nothing you can do about it; no matter how big the net is or how many fish there are, some will always slip through.

As for where they went, it's obvious.

Sifus decisively led two escort ships and most of his troops toward their residence.

With a large number of survivors, most of whom are injured, staying put is the best option. Right now, this place is actually the safest.

"Your older brother and Gantz went with Father. Before they left, they came to see you. Father even scolded Number Seven."

Number Seven wore a "sad crying" expression, and Xu Wei smiled slightly: "What does this have to do with Number Seven?"

“This thing is neglecting its duty! It’s supposed to take good care of you, reminding you to eat and rest on time, but instead it’s made you so tired that you fainted! I’m going to take it apart when I get back and turn it into a robot vacuum cleaner…” Ryan threatened.

Number Seven looked even more pitiful.

Xu Weiwei quickly defended it, saying, "I was the one who sent it out to play with the children. It can't help much in the operating room anyway. Don't scare it."

Ryan stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at his sister through gritted teeth: "You're really something, Selviel... You only brought this one 'nanny' with you when you went out, and you even assigned her to someone else..."

Not wanting to hear Ryan say anything more infuriating, Xu Weiwei quickly interrupted, "Not again."

"Humph……"

Ryan didn't say that while her father seemed to be blaming Number Seven, he was actually also blaming himself, filled with guilt. How could he have let his daughter collapse from exhaustion right under his nose? It was an unforgivable mistake.

Why does he understand so much? It's because he puts himself in others' shoes.

The four of them, father and sons, all felt roughly the same way. But if you had to pinpoint who was suffering the most, it would be Ganz. After all, it was ultimately about helping him.

However, there's no need to explain this to Selviel; it's not like she's trying to gain sympathy.

"How is Ganz's father recovering?"

Ryan collected his thoughts and replied, "I'm fine. I heard he even came out in a wheelchair this afternoon. Fast also showed up."

"This guy is all talk and no action, pretending to be all warm and caring. Ugh! Hypocritical!"

Xu Weiwei exclaimed in surprise, "So many things happened this afternoon? How come I knew nothing about it?"

"You're so focused on what you're doing, and the outside environment is so messy, it's normal that you didn't notice."

"What about Gantz's other family members? Have they been found?" Xu Weiwei looked up, her eyes full of caution and anticipation.

Ryan avoided her gaze and looked at the ground, saying, "Gantz's mother, and his elder brother and sister-in-law's family, are all gone. As for the others—there's no news."

Xu Weiwei sat down on the bed, feeling utterly exhausted, unable to accept this reality.

Ganley was a cheerful, gentle, and kind man. If it weren't for this disaster, he would definitely have succeeded his father and become a beloved leader. The chief's wife, that hardworking and capable woman, although she had some of the drawbacks of traditional women, truly helped and cared for her.

Where did these people go...?

She even attended their child's one-month celebration; they were such a happy family...

As for Gan Yi's family, the lack of news could mean they were taken over by the intruders, or they could have died in some corner they hadn't discovered.

Xu Weiwei prayed in her heart that it would be the former. That way, at least there would be a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise, wouldn't Ganz be suffering too much...?

“Gantz, we’re here for you.” Ryan gently placed his hand on his sister’s shoulder.

“We are his family too.”

"Hmm..." Xu Weiwei nodded with a forced smile.

"It's almost dawn, are you hungry? Get ready and go have breakfast, you really need to replenish your nutrition right now," Ryan changed the subject.

Xu Weiwei removed the indwelling needle from the back of her hand, looked down at it, and said, "I need to take a shower first."

She had already taken off her white coat, but her other clothes were still on. Since her father and brother were both men, and to avoid any appearance of impropriety, she slept like that for the night.

Her dirty clothes, soaked in sweat all day, were covered in dust and bacteria, and now they were staining her bed. She desperately wanted to take a shower and clean herself thoroughly.

"But you haven't eaten. You won't faint while you're washing, will you?" Ryan asked worriedly.

"No, I've already rested, and I even had an IV drip, so it's not like I haven't eaten. I'll wash up quickly."

"Alright then, I'll wait for you."

After Xu Weiwei went inside, Ryan sat on the chair, resting his chin on his hand, pondering:

I feel like I've forgotten something... but what is it...? Ugh—
