Fei Zixuan felt absolutely delighted in her heart. This gossip was just too satisfying to eat!
【System, system, keep a close eye on these two’s follow-up!】
【If the Eldest Princess and Fang Ziqin have any new developments, report them immediately!】
【I have a feeling their story is going to blow up again!】
The system’s voice was full of excitement.
【Got it, host! I’m locking onto this pair!】
【But speaking of which…】
Its tone suddenly shifted, carrying a mischievous grin.
【Rather than their follow-up, don’t you want to dig into the secrets of the people around you first?】
Fei Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat.
【What do you mean?】
【I mean your father, your brother, your mother—those people!】
The system’s voice turned teasing.
【They all seem pretty normal in front of you, right?】
【But behind the scenes… heh heh heh, they definitely have quirks you don’t know about!】
Fei Zixuan hesitated for half a second.
【Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to dig into my family like this?】
【What’s inappropriate about it!】 the system immediately replied.
【They can’t hear us anyway!】
【And besides, knowing each other better helps relationships, right?】
【Maybe you’ll even discover their cute sides!】
【More importantly—aren’t you curious?】
The system’s voice grew increasingly tempting.
【Your brother is so perfect… surely he has some little secret you don’t know?】
【Your father is so serious… maybe he has a hidden cute side in private?】
Fei Zixuan wavered.
【…Fine!】
【Then we start with my brother!】
She was practically glowing with excitement.
【I’m with him all the time anyway. Let’s see what he’s been hiding from me!】
Fei Ziqi, standing behind her, felt a sharp twitch in his brow.
So… she was going to expose her own brother’s secrets?!
Forget it. It’s fine. He probably didn’t have anything shameful anyway.
As long as his sister was happy.
The system chuckled.
【Host, your brother’s hobby… how should I put it?】
【It’s quite… refreshingly unique!】
Fei Zixuan perked up instantly.
【Oh? What kind of hobby could my brother possibly have?】
She thought for a moment.
【Don’t tell me it’s OCD? Like arranging books by height or clothes by color?】
【Or… a workaholic? The type who gets up at midnight to write memorials?】
The system laughed.
【Host, you really think highly of him!】
【His hobby is—don’t be scared when you hear it.】
【He’s been collecting your hair since he was five years old!】
Fei Zixuan’s brain froze.
【…Wait, say that again?】
【Am I hallucinating?】
【My brother collects my… hair?!】
She felt her worldview shatter.
【That’s right!】
The system’s voice was gleeful with schadenfreude.
【Since you were both five, every time he saw a strand of your hair fall out, he would pick it up!】
【Then he’d tie it up with red thread into bundles and store them in a sandalwood box, organized by year!】
【There are already thirteen bundles now!】
Fei Zixuan felt completely numb.
【So my brother… is treating me like a cultural relic collection?】
【This is too… too…】
She couldn’t even find the words.
【He even kept your baby teeth!】
The system delivered the final blow.
【Not a single one missing, all stored in a box!】
【Each one labeled—“First tooth lost by Zixuan at age six”, “Canine tooth lost at age seven”…】
【Extremely detailed!】
Fei Zixuan: 【……】
【I… I never realized my brother was this… this…】
【This sister-con crazy!!!】
On the court, the ministers had varied expressions.
The Minister of Rites twitched his mouth.
Collecting hair and baby teeth?
That’s… a bit much…
But thinking about it carefully, it did show deep sibling affection.
The Minister of Revenue looked thoughtful.
Scholar Fei truly values his sister.
The Vice Minister of Personnel shook his head silently.
Young people… these hobbies are really something.
Still… who hasn’t done something foolish in youth?
Fang Ziqin quickly adjusted his expression and stole a glance at Fei Ziqi, then immediately looked away.
This gentleman looks refined and elegant, but privately he’s actually…
At this point, he almost wished the system would keep digging into others so the attention on him would fade.
Fei Zixuan was still recovering from the shock of the hair collection when the system dropped another bombshell.
【There’s more!】
【He also likes secretly watching you sleep—and drawing your sleeping posture!】
【……】
Fei Zixuan felt her entire soul collapse.
【Wait, wait, what did you say?!】
【My brother watches me sleep?! And draws it?!】
【That’s right!】
The system sounded like it was enjoying the chaos.
【Since you were five, he’s had this habit!】
【Every time you fell asleep, he would pull a little stool to your bedside and draw you with pen and paper!】
【Drooling, snoring, grinding teeth… he recorded everything!】
A flood of images exploded in Fei Zixuan’s mind—
Her drooling stupid face!
Her teeth-grinding demon expression!
Her mouth-wide-open pig-like snoring pose!
【I… I was seen like THAT?!】
【And he drew it down?!】
She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
The system continued mercilessly.
【And! He even annotated each drawing with dates and your sleep talk!】
【For example—】
【“Zixuan, 5 years 3 months 7 days: Dreaming—Don’t steal my chicken drumstick! That’s mine!”】
【“Zixuan, 6 years 2 months: Dreaming—Don’t challenge my cold, icy love~”】
Fei Zixuan felt like her life had been critically hit.
【I… I thought sleeping meant I was safe…】
【Turns out that’s when I was most exposed?!】
【My brother turned me into a full observation journal?!】
【WITH DATES?!】
【This is insane!!!】
She covered her face, wishing she could disappear on the spot.
Many ministers couldn’t help but glance secretly at Fei Ziqi.
Scholar Fei…
Usually so gentle and refined.
Who would’ve thought privately he was…
They didn’t dare think further.
Fei Ziqi’s lips curved slightly.
Yes, he did draw them.
And not just her sleeping face.
Her smiling face, angry face, spoiled face…
He had drawn them all.
Those drawings were locked in the most hidden cabinet in his study.
They were his most precious treasures in this life.
Fei Huai’an rubbed his face.
His son’s hobby… was truly indescribable.
The system continued.
【Of course, it’s not just yours!】
【There are three large wooden boxes in his study.】
【One labeled with your name, and the other two belong to your parents.】
Fei Huai’an froze.
He even collected theirs?
What exactly was inside?
Fei Zixuan quickly asked: 【What’s in my parents’ boxes?】
【Birth gifts your parents gave him, portraits of them every year, encouraging notes…】
【Anything else?】
【Also calligraphy copies your father taught him, your mother’s first garment she sewed for him…】
The system paused.
【He even kept the ruler your father used to spank him.】
Fei Huai’an’s eyes widened.
That ruler… he thought it was lost long ago!
So his son had been hiding it?!
Fei Zixuan pressed on: 【Why would my brother keep all these things?】
The system’s tone suddenly turned serious.
【Host… do you want to know the reason?】
