Chapter 13: Rita's Request

Just as he was about to do another set of exercises, the door of the room was pushed open.

Before Rita could speak, she saw Gong Bing's naked upper body, and her body that began to grow strong was covered with sweat, which made Rita's face blush slightly.

"Gabriel, why are you naked at home?" Rita said, tilting her head and feigning annoyance.

"This is my room." Gong Bing picked up a towel and dried himself a little, then put on his shirt, "And please knock on the door before you come in every time." โ€

"It seems that my brother has grown up and knows how to have privacy, and he is starting to need his own personal space." Rita pouted and said, "Where haven't I seen your little body, why don't I go to watch a male star on TV?" Besides, I've told you many times that you're going to call me sister. โ€

"Alright, Rita." Gong Bing shrugged.

After more than a month of getting along, Gong Bing knows that Rita is a cold on the outside and hot on the inside, although her mouth is often buried, but she is quite concerned about her younger brother, and there is not much estrangement, at most because of Gabriel's introverted nature before, the real communication is not too much.

Gabriel, who has just recovered from a serious illness, has changed his personality quite a lot, and Mu Ne's temperament seems to be missing with the recovery of his body, at first Rita felt that his brother was a little hiding from him, and he always tried to talk to himself as short as possible, and he would always spit out some strange words in his mouth, which made her feel confused.

"You're not here just to talk to me, are you?" Subconsciously touched his pocket, and the empty pocket reminded him that Gabriel was not a smoker, and wondered if he would take the time to buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke, and he didn't care too much about the reason for Rita's arrival.

"Can't I come to see you if I'm fine? Are you still afraid that I'll catch you reading a pornographic magazine? Rita sat in the chair in front of her desk and said with a narrow face, although Gabriel had changed a lot, Rita did not doubt him, and thought it was part of the growth of adolescence.

"I want to ask if you're free after noon tomorrow, and I want you to go out with me to meet a friend." Rita casually rolled up the magazine on the table and put it in her hand.

"What friend?" Gong Bing picked up the kettle and took a big sip.

"That friend helped me a little before, and I wanted to treat him to dinner as a thank you." Rita avoided Gong Bing's words, and the person seemed a little unnatural.

Looking at Rita's slightly little girl's posture, Gong Bing couldn't help but be a little funny, his sister has always been optimistic and outgoing, and her speech is very aggressive, she has been like a wild boy since she was a child, although she has grown up to be a lot of ladies, but now this kind of twisted appearance is quite rare.

"It can't be Rita, you're excited, right?" Gong Bing asked casually.

"What's the spring heartbeat?" Rita immediately became dissatisfied, the corners of her eyebrows raised, and at the same time straightened her chest: "The people who chase your sister at school can line up from the school gate to the green forest, and the only thing I have a headache is which one to choose?" โ€

Gong Bing looked at her with some surprise, she was just unintentional, she didn't expect her to be so excited, but then she felt a little bored, and she really didn't want to gossip about her love problems.

"Hurry up, can you help or not?" Rita asked bluntly.

"Just call me before you go." didn't ask much, Gong Bing agreed, and waved his hand to drive away guests.

In fact, Gong Bing was reluctant to go with him, and the two of them had to pull himself on a date, which really made him very tired, but it seemed that Gabriel's memory was still silently affecting him, so he opened his mouth and agreed.

Receiving an affirmative reply, Rita's smile recurred, and she got up to leave Gong Bing's room.

"Hey, where are you going to take my magazine?"

"Confiscated."

Gong Bing shrugged.

"By the way, after you get better, your guts are also diseased, right, you want to ~call~ sister!." Before leaving the door, Rita turned around and said.

"Okay, I remember, Rita."

After sending away Rita, who had left a 'threatening' message, Gong Bing sat on the bed, picked up the newspaper next to him and read it.

The first was the National Times, with a middle-aged black-haired man with neatly groomed hair, with firm eyes and a modest suit, facing reporters and giving a loud speech to reporters, waving one hand in the air in excitement.

The picture is accompanied by a slogan in large letters: "No compromise, no compromise!ใ€‚ โ€

The Saltu region has been plunged into a state of instability due to the newly discovered resource veins.

Saltu is a small country with a population of less than a million, and its neighbors are similarly small, while further afield it is surrounded by several large countries, including Tutlรกn, where Gong Bing is located.

Saltu is now attracting the prying eyes of major powers because of its new domestic deposits, which has made the international situation tense, and it has fallen into the dark cloud of war that can break out at any time under internal and external troubles.

Twenty or thirty years ago, there was a world-class war, and although several generations have grown up, the pain and memories of the war still remain in the minds of the older generation, and they cannot be forgotten for a long time, and the sequelae of the war still have a far-reaching impact, permeating every corner of the world like ripples.

After reading the newspaper for a while and feeling that he had rested enough, Gong Bing stood up, took off his shirt, and threw himself into the workout again.

At noon the next day, Gong Bing and Rita boarded a bus to the center of town.

In the past, Gabriel was thin because of lack of exercise, so although he was only two years younger than his sister, the sixteen-year-old Gabriel was only the same size as his sister, about 1.71 meters, which was indeed short in a world where the average height of men was more than 1.8 meters.

After exercising and eating reasonably, Gabriel's body seemed to begin to release the previously suppressed potential, suddenly one to two centimeters taller, and now it is about one meter seventy-three.

At this time, Gong Bing was wearing a simple gray T-shirt and a thin down shirt, white jeans on the bottom, a pair of white sneakers on his feet, and short hair to match his current state.

Rita, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a pale pink dress and a white down, with a small cross-body bag hanging from her shoulders, bangs on her head fixed to one side with a cute hairpin, and a little light makeup on her face.

"Rita, you look like you're going to claim your prize." Seeing that the people around him were a little nervous, Gong Bing held his chin and said, "Don't forget the cheat sheet for your speech before you go out." โ€

"I also think I should be able to dress up today." Thinking that her brother was complimenting herself, Rita smiled, because Gabriel rarely took the initiative to say anything in the past, let alone praise others, so she didn't care about Gong Bing calling her by her name.

"I mean, don't shake your legs." Gong Bing said with a hint of ridicule, looked at Rita, and then shook his head.

"You forgot to put your eyes on when you got up, didn't you?" Rita deliberately widened her eyes and looked at Gong Bing: "Wait a minute, remember to get it back for me before you go out." โ€

"Relax, I don't want you to blame me for a while." Gong Bing shrugged: "You are as beautiful as Snow White now." โ€

"Who is Snow White? She's beautiful? "I've never heard of Snow White," Rita asked curiously.

"That's right, Snow White, who has seven men at the same time, is so charming that you don't want it." Gong Bing showed a bored look on his face, and his mouth opened and closed mechanically: "There are old people who want to be old, there are young people who want to be young, there are those who are mature and steady, and there are those who are sunny and handsome, but unfortunately they are not too tall." โ€

"Hmph, rascal, won't you say something nice." Hearing that he began to talk nonsense again, Rita snorted coldly and turned her head away from him.
