Gu Yunyun lived a very comfortable life at the Viscount's mansion. She would often go to the garden to swing and bask in the sun when she had free time.

Over the past few days, Gu Yunyun had heard many rumors about the Viscount: that he spent his nights with his mistresses, or that he was always drunk and sleeping until noon. If he weren't the youngest son of Old Lady Valen, how could such an absurd and idle lifestyle support such a large Viscount's mansion? In addition, Gu Yunyun had listened to Vincent's advice and was trying to avoid this Viscount as much as possible, so naturally she wouldn't get close to him.

But there are always some unexpected events.

That day, Gu Yunyun was drowsily swinging on a swing in the gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers when she heard footsteps not far away. She didn't pay any attention to it, assuming it was the gardener or a passing servant. But the footsteps paused for a moment, and then she heard them coming over.

Gu Yunyun lifted her head from the swing ropes and groggily opened her eyes.

"Which family are you from?"

Gu Yunyun blinked; the man with light brown curly hair seemed somewhat familiar. She gathered her thoughts; the man's appearance bore a resemblance to her twin brother… “Viscount?” She stood up politely, secretly feeling that today might be a bit unlucky.

Viscount Valen was probably in his thirties. His twin sons inherited five or six parts of his looks from him, and he himself was quite handsome. However, his body had been weakened by long-term indulgence in wine and women, making him look older and diminishing his good looks considerably.

When the Viscount saw Gu Yunyun stand up, he reached out to help her, but Gu Yunyun stepped aside to avoid him. She quickly thought of a moment, then gestured "please" with her hand towards the swing, using the excuse of her stepping aside to say, "Viscount, please sit down."

Gu Yunyun thought she was a clever little devil.

The Viscount looked at the swing with artificial flowers and vines still wrapped around the ropes, a little confused, but he quickly laughed. "Miss is really interesting." His eyes, which seemed to be filled with the novelty of seeing something new and the lust of a male hunter, made Gu Yunyun feel a little headache.

They are currently staying at the Viscount's mansion, and it wouldn't be good to offend the master of the house, but they also can't let him take advantage of them.

Faced with the man who was about to get closer, Gu Yunyun decided to try to hypnotize him by adding a seductive, siren-like quality to her voice.

"Father, I heard you're not feeling well?" A clear, youthful voice interrupted the Viscount and Gu Yunyun's next move.

Upon hearing his son's voice, the viscount instinctively took a step back, distancing himself from Gu Yunyun. Although his behavior was absurd, he had no intention of showing it off further in front of his son.

"Is Father feeling any better?" the boy asked again.

"Ahem, Frank," the Viscount coughed lightly and straightened his collar. "Much better. Don't you two have classes today?"

Gu Yunyun glanced at the Viscount with some surprise when he called out his name, then looked at the boy who had just spoken—it was clearly Pulan.

However, neither of the two boys argued with their father for mistaking someone else for his father. The other boy said, "Today is a day off. I saw that the kitchen specially prepared some hangover soup for you. Why don't you go and have some, it won't be good if it gets cold."

The viscount, knowing that his two sons were present, found it inconvenient to make a move on the girl. He also didn't want to linger in the awkward situation of being caught harassing a young woman by his sons, so he took the opportunity his sons offered, said a few words, and left.

Anyway, he could find out the girl's identity by asking the servants. Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Yunyun with a hint of regret.

With the viscount gone, the twins' attention turned to Gu Yunyun.

"Your brother isn't with you?" Frank asked with a smile.

Gu Yunyun felt a little awkward, unsure if they knew the Viscountess had called Vincent over for another piano lesson, but there was no telltale sign on their faces. "Hmm..."

"Then come and play with us." Pu Lan warmly put his arm around Gu Yunyun, his gesture simple and unpretentious, making her feel neither offended nor lacking in sincerity.

"Uh, I still..."

"By the way, you said last time you could recognize the two of us, now let's test you." Frank and Plan exchanged a glance and turned Gu Yunyun around.

Gu Yunyun heard the sound of fabric rubbing behind her, and then she was turned around by her shoulders.

"Alright, you take a guess."

She was both amused and exasperated by the two boys' playful antics. "You're Frank, you're Plan."

The two brothers spoke up without hesitation: "You're wrong."

Gu Yunyun sighed helplessly: "I was right, how can they still try to renege on their promise like this..." She secretly complained to the system: "Do they really think they're that hard to tell the difference...? Only the Viscount would admit his mistake if he's still drunk!"

The system munched on popcorn, ignoring her.

Frank put his arm around her shoulder and said, "You answered wrong. As punishment, you're not allowed to refuse to play with us."

Gu Yunyun was exasperated by the two boys' adorable rascality, and since she was indeed quite bored, she agreed, "Okay."

The two boys cheered and pulled her away.

The three of them arrived at a closed door in a rather secluded courtyard.

"This is our secret base. You're welcome to take a look."

Gu Yunyun chuckled, "She's still a child after all." "Okay, I'm honored."

Pulan opened the door with a smile. She peeked inside curiously, when suddenly she felt a strong push from behind, causing her to stumble two steps into the dark room. The door slammed shut behind her, followed by a click as the lock clicked shut.

Gu Yunyun: ...

"Haha, Frank, she's so easy to fool."

"How stupid. She's no different from those brainless women who can be coaxed into laughing like a hen with just a few words."

"Hey, that's going too far!" Where did that innocent-looking boy with the face of a little angel go? Turns out he's a brat?

"Ha, do you really think you're that likable? Women are all the same, we just flatter them a little and they all think they're special." Frank's slightly hoarse voice sounded like a little devil now. "What, like your brother, you like to seduce people? That old man's body can't take any more of this, and besides, there's a line of mistresses outside. I advise you not to put your heart into him."

That being said, the twins actually understood their father's character and were mostly taking their anger out on her.

"...You've misunderstood, I have no such intention."

"You'd better stay inside. This is your punishment for not being able to tell the difference between the two of us."

"..." You shameless brat.

As the footsteps of the two people outside faded into the distance, Gu Yunyun turned around and looked around the room. The pitch-black environment did not affect her vision; the seabed was much darker than this.

"How naive. Do you think I'd be afraid of a mere warehouse?"

The room was cluttered with miscellaneous items, and there was an additional wooden window outside the window, used to insulate against the cold air in winter and the sunlight in summer. Therefore, the room was now basically blocked from light by that wooden window.

However, the windows were quite high. Gu Yunyun walked to one of the windows, grabbed the narrow windowsill that was about neck-high, and with a swift movement, climbed up and sat down. She easily opened both windows, jumped down, and landed gracefully.

She dusted off her hands, strolled back to her room, and didn't take the two children's prank too seriously.

Later, when the two mischievous boys went to the warehouse hoping to see her crying and miserable, they were very unwilling to accept that she had run away. The next day, Gu Yunyun was cornered again when she went out of her room for a stroll.

Gu Yunyun looked speechlessly at the two boys in front of her, whose expressions were not good. This time, their initial friendly facade was gone, and their displeasure and smugness at the impending trouble were written all over their faces.

How did you run away yesterday?

There was nothing under the open window to step on.

"The door lock is also intact."

Although the two brothers were very unhappy that she had run away, they couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Gu Yunyun smiled mysteriously, "Guess?"

Frank gave a slightly angry sneer, "Who cares to know!" Then, as if remembering something, he smiled smugly and suddenly pulled something out from behind him and placed it in front of Gu Yunyun's face.

Gu Yunyun calmly examined it and determined that it was a non-venomous snake.

The twins waited expectantly for her to scream and cry, then mocked her mercilessly, but all they saw was Gu Yunyun raising her head to look back at them expressionlessly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"...Aren't you tired of holding your hand up like that, Frank?"

Her words caused a moment of surprise on the faces of the two boys, but they quickly concealed it. The two brothers exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some unspoken understanding.

Frank, showing no sign of anything amiss, stubbornly retorted, "...You've mistaken me again! I'm Pran! You're incredibly stupid!"

"Oh." As long as you're happy.

The twins stepped forward, placing one hand on each of them against the wall behind Gu Yunyun's head, enveloping her entirely between the two of them and the wall.

Pulan lowered his head and threatened coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. If you guess right, we'll let you go. But if you guess wrong... we'll really be angry."

Frank mischievously tugged at the little tuft of hair at the back of her head, causing her head to shake and her tuft of hair to sway.

He said gruffly, "This little snake is just a greeting gift. You probably don't want to see our pet Lily. And don't even think about asking for help; there's no one in the Viscount's mansion who can save you."

After saying that, seeing Gu Yunyun's speechless, dead-fish-like expression, coupled with her chubby, still-fat-like face, he couldn't help but pinch her cheek again. "What kind of expression is that, huh?"

"...an 'I understand' expression."

Frank, whether annoyed or amused by her dismissive attitude, let out a soft laugh, grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face the wall, only to be pulled back by a pair of hands a moment later.

Come on, guess!

The twins looked down at her with an arrogant air, but their lips were unconsciously pursed slightly, and their eyes showed a nervousness that they themselves did not realize.

Gu Yunyun noticed their attempts to hide their emotions, and her heart softened instantly. She sighed silently. The two boys were probably hurt by their father's mistaken identity. After all, such an unreliable man probably wouldn't care much about his children, so the two boys were probably just seeking more attention.

“Frank,” she said, pointing to another boy, “Plan.”

The two twin boys were silent for a moment, then something that had been dormant for a long time seemed to brighten in their eyes, and suddenly they both grinned mischievously.

"You admitted your mistake again today, so you'll have to accept the punishment."

Gu Yunyun: "..." As expected, still a brat

The two brothers stepped forward and each took one of her arms, saying, "Let me show you our pets."

"Lily will be very happy to see you."

Gu Yunyun felt that if she didn't satisfy these two brats, they would probably try to make trouble for her again. Maybe she should pretend to be a little scared in a while?

The twins dragged Gu Yunyun to a huge cage, almost like kidnapping her. Inside the cage was a rockery, a few low trees, and some low-lying plants. The pet inside was probably hiding somewhere in the cage, but it was nowhere to be seen.

However, after arriving in this world, Gu Yunyun's senses became unusually acute, and she could smell the fishy odor of snakes from afar. The twins pushed her inside without allowing her to resist. Gu Yunyun cooperated without struggling; instead, she was somewhat curious about what kind of snakes they were raising, so confident they would scare her.

“There are no windows this time, let’s see how you escape now. Don’t even think about anyone coming to save you,” Frank said smugly.

"Let's go have afternoon tea, brother."

"Ok."

The two brothers walked away side by side, their backs seemingly filled with joy.

After watching them walk away, Gu Yunyun turned around and slowly looked around the cage, searching for the little pet.

When she circled around to the other side of the artificial hill, she saw a fat golden python lazily coiled on the ground, its body almost reaching Gu Yunyun's waist. Perhaps due to its good diet, the white and yellow patterns on its python seemed to have been stretched out.

It sensed someone approaching, raised its head blankly, stuck out its tongue, and its black beady eyes exuded an adorable, naive charm.

The golden python is a docile snake, and as the pet of the viscount's young master, it naturally wouldn't go hungry; it was fed regularly every day, so it was impossible for it to have any appetite for Gu Yunyun. The twins only wanted to scare her; they didn't really intend for anything to happen to her.

"Hi, hello there." Gu Yunyun waved her paw at it, then thought for a moment and sent out a greeting in the language of sirens.

The golden python seemed to pause for a moment, a hint of fear flashing in its small eyes, before it lowered its head with a "thud" and pretended to be dead.

Gu Yunyun: ...

The twins, who had sneaked up to the second floor of a nearby corridor to peek around: ...
