Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 411: Big Brother: Watching in the Shadows

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Big Brother: Watching in the Shadows

There’s no need to guess who this hand belongs to.

After being grabbed by the collar and lifted up, Tuanzi obediently curled her hands in front of her chest.

Her body uncontrollably turned, and Tuanzi honestly admitted her mistake.

"Second Senior Brother, I’m sorry, Miaomiao shouldn’t have called you a thief."

After dinner, when she returned to her room, the system asked her if she would be happy if someone called her a thief. Would she be mad?

She wasn’t happy, and she was very angry.

The little girl imagined herself in her second senior brother’s shoes and increasingly felt she was wrong to say that, so she brought her treasured candy to apologize.

Ji Zhangzhuo glanced at the bag of candy on the ground.

He already knew from Duan Xiayou about how the little junior sister went through a battle of wits and courage with her big brother over candy and how much she cherished those candies.

She offered candy as an apology.

He chuckled, "I was at fault too, knowing you’re easily curious and still kept you in suspense."

This little junior sister of his was like a curious kitten, highly inquisitive and eager to satisfy her curiosity. It was fun to tease the curious kitten, so he couldn’t help but tease her a few more times. Who knew this time it would rile the kitten up so much that they ended up fighting.

Tuanzi shook her head, "No, it’s Miaomiao who was impatient."

Ji Zhangzhuo: "I shouldn’t have teased you."

Tuanzi confessed honestly, "Miaomiao shouldn’t have used so much force."

The senior brother and sister stood at the door, apologizing to each other, both feeling it was their fault.

Just then, the door next door opened, and the two looked over to see Duan Xiayou looking at them drowsily.

"If you keep being polite to each other, Big Brother will come upstairs."

The power of the big brother was different from usual, and the two immediately shut up.

Ji Zhangzhuo put Tuanzi down.

Tuanzi hurriedly bent down to pick up the candy, held it out to Ji Zhangzhuo with great reluctance, "Peace offering."

She had initially planned to run away after tossing it, so she wouldn’t have to face parting ways with the candies, but now she had to say goodbye personally, sigh.

Noticing the sharp gaze of the eldest senior brother beside them, Ji Zhangzhuo smiled and patted Tuanzi’s head. Finding the feel very nice, he patted a few more times.

"No need, you keep it for yourself. I don’t eat candy."

"Really?"

The sadness instantly faded, and Tuanzi’s eyes brightened as she looked at him, "Second Senior Brother, you don’t want it?"

Ji Zhangzhuo nodded, "I like eating meat, not candy."

Tuanzi immediately said boldly, "Then tomorrow, Miaomiao won’t compete with you for meat~"

[Ancient Martial System: What about the day after tomorrow]

[Miaomiao: Ahem, Miaomiao needs to grow up too]

Ji Zhangzhuo understood the underlying words but didn’t expose them, smiling as he rubbed Tuanzi’s little head.

With the candies returned, Tuanzi cheerfully hugged them to her chest, not minding Second Senior Brother playing with her hair.

After fighting fiercely during the day, their relationship was now wonderfully smooth.

Duan Xiayou looked on with some jealousy.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and his body instinctively retreated into his room, closing the door.

Tuanzi was a little puzzled, "What’s with the eldest senior brother..."

Only to see that her Second Senior Brother hastily ducked into his room, shutting the door.

Tuanzi tilted her tiny head, full of confusion.

"What’s up with Second Senior Brother?"

[Ancient Martial System: Ahem, look at the stairway]

Tuanzi suddenly felt a chill down her back and quickly turned around to see Gu Cheng, like a lurking orange cat, supporting himself with one hand on the stairway, watching them intently.

If he were really just a kitten, Tuanzi would have instantly fluffed up.

She quickly hid the candies behind her back, her words becoming stammered.

"B-Big Brother, why are you up here? Walking without a sound?"

So scary, waaaah!

[Ancient Martial System: Don’t you realize what time it is, everyone should be sleeping, but there’s noise upstairs, he probably came to check if there’s a thief]

Upon hearing this, Tuanzi instinctively said, "B-Big Brother, no thief here, no thief upstairs."

In the hallway, only a small nightlight illuminated the space, making it hard to see Gu Cheng’s handsome features.

The more obscure, the scarier it was!

Tuanzi was internally crying, ’waaaah’.

Compared to being caught sneaking out to apologize at midnight, she feared the candies behind her being discovered more!

Previously, Gu Yunmu had shaken her until all the candies hidden on her fell out; Big Brother didn’t ask much and didn’t mind. She barely escaped that predicament, how could she end up in a similar situation now?

Gu Cheng stared steadily at his little sister for a few moments, then gestured with his hand.

"As long as there’s no thief, go rest downstairs."

He explained, "The nightlight is too dim, you can’t see clearly, let me help you downstairs."

Tuanzi stood hesitantly, torn.

[Miaomiao: Ahhh, Little Gu, help me hide the candies]

[Ancient Martial System: How can I hide them?]

[Miaomiao: Just put them in a magical space and I’ll take them out when we’re back in the room]

[Ancient Martial System: I don’t have a magical space]

[Miaomiao: No no no, you do!]

"Miaomiao?"

Gu Cheng’s tone was somewhat inquisitive, "What are you standing there for? It’s eleven o’clock."

Tuanzi shuffled forward with a conflicted expression, frantically calling out to the system in her mind.

The system pretended not to hear, no magical space.

As he drew nearer, Gu Cheng noticed his sister’s unusual posture, "Are you hiding something behind your back?"

Tuanzi: "!"

"Ah, um, I can explain this, Miaomiao can explain it."

Like an ant on a hot pan, she wanted to turn in circles, but if she did, she’d be discovered, so she held back.

Yet the height difference between her and Gu Cheng was apparent; once she got closer, Gu Cheng peered down at her, easily seeing.

"Candy?"

Thinking quickly, Tuanzi hurriedly extended her pudgy hands, lifting the bag of candy.

"Hahaha, look, this is the candy Miaomiao specifically bought to apologize to Second Senior Brother."

Buying and hiding are different. Tuanzi couldn’t help but internally applaud her own cleverness.

Remembering the events of the day, Gu Cheng patted his little sister’s head.

"You’re thoughtful. Your Second Senior Brother will definitely forgive you."

Tuanzi rubbed her head against his palm, sneaking a glance at his expression, "Yes, Second Senior Brother forgave Miaomiao already, but he wouldn’t accept the apology gift. He gave it back to Miaomiao, so Miaomiao can only keep it herself, can’t waste them."

[Ancient Martial System: Your acting skills are getting better]

[Miaomiao: Hehe]

"Can’t waste for sure."

Gu Cheng led his little sister downstairs, "I happened to forget to buy candy, so for the next week, how about we take seven pieces from it?"

Tuanzi: Dumbfounded.jpg

Noticing his sister stopped, Gu Cheng paused and curiously bent down, poking her cheek.

"Miaomiao?"

Tuanzi pouted, "Miaomiao understands, boo."

"Boo?"

"Hahaha!" Afraid the truth would be found out, Tuanzi quickly laughed and rushed into her room at the doorway, closing the door immediately.

Once the door shut, she angrily climbed out the window, scrambled a few times on the wall, and jumped onto Duan Xiayou’s windowsill, crouching there, knocking angrily on the window.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you could hide, but you can’t open the window?"

How could you not remind me, it’s infuriating!

Duan Xiayou pretended to be a quail, not opening the window nor responding.

Tuanzi then jumped onto the adjacent windowsill, continuing to knock on the window.

"Second Senior Brother, I know you’re inside, quickly open the window!"

Ji Zhangzhuo dared not open the window either.

But it was a window on the second floor that opened, and Gu Cheng looked out, puzzled, "Miaomiao?"
