Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 414: Another Encounter with Cousin

Tuanzi shook her head, mimicking a teacher, "Don’t torment yourself because of bad people. There are so many bad people, you can’t guard against all of them, so it’s always the bad people’s fault!"

Then, she widened her eyes and looked earnestly at Ji Zhangzhuo.

"Second Senior Brother, you didn’t do anything wrong."

Ji Zhangzhuo paused.

Even though Junior Sister was talking about this matter, he couldn’t help but think about the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He was made a prince, then banished to his fief, completely losing any chance at the throne. Later, he painstakingly returned to the capital, maneuvering between different factions, successfully tricking the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and several royal brothers.

Before he died, the Emperor cursed him, calling him an unfilial son. Several royal brothers said he was heartless and ruthless, saying he was doomed to die a bad death.

He also once doubted himself.

The things he did couldn’t see the light of day, and he had indeed dirtied his hands.

However, he knew it was the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and those concubines who killed his mother. It was the same afterwards; if he didn’t retaliate, he would be the one to die.

The ones who first harbored malice were those people, and the ones who first insulted him with words and actions were those people. He just wanted revenge and to protect himself, so why was he the unfilial son, the heartless one?

Was he wrong?

Tuanzi: "Second Senior Brother, you didn’t do anything wrong."

Ji Zhangzhuo returned to his senses and looked down, seeing his Junior Sister still tilting her head, scrutinizing him.

"Second Senior Brother, your expression is weird."

Tuanzi tried to leap up, attempting to touch Ji Zhangzhuo’s face. The latter straightforwardly lifted her up towards the sun.

"Miaomiao, you seem to be glowing."

"Huh?"

Tuanzi looked back, squinting her eyes against the sunlight.

When she looked back again, her vision became blurry, unable to see Second Senior Brother’s face clearly, only faintly feeling like Second Senior Brother had let go of something.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat, my treat."

Ji Zhangzhuo simply held Tuanzi with one hand and walked forward.

Tuanzi’s eyes lit up.

"Can Miaomiao order anything?"

"Of course."

"Then Miaomiao wants mango ice cream and caramel pudding... Eh, why aren’t you nodding, Second Senior Brother?"

"I’m afraid your big brother will scold me."

The two played around, then stopped simultaneously, looking at each other.

"Uh, Second Senior Brother, did we forget something?"

Ji Zhangzhuo also felt a bit guilty, "Where is Senior Brother?"

"Senior Brother is here."

A distant, somber voice came from behind.

The two looked back to see Duan Xiayou slowly approaching, his expression somewhat resentful.

"You seemed pretty absorbed in chatting."

"Hehe." The senior and junior siblings both showed matching silly smiles, trying to muddle through.

Duan Xiayou used his trump card, "I want to have ice cream later."

Tuanzi opened her mouth, "Then I’ll also..."

"No, you can’t."

Duan Xiayou stated calmly, "It’s only April, your big brother won’t let you eat ice cream."

Tuanzi was unconvinced, "Then how come you can eat it?"

"I am an adult."

Tuanzi instantly puffed up angrily.

Why are there always things adults can do that children can’t? Can’t it be reversed?

Duan Xiayou really ate a mango ice cream right in front of Tuanzi, ignoring her pleas.

Tuanzi could only implore Ji Zhangzhuo.

But due to the big brother’s authority, Ji Zhangzhuo didn’t dare to let Tuanzi act wilfully and could only coax her to eat something else.

After a meal, both Tuanzi and Ji Zhangzhuo were unsatisfied, while Duan Xiayou was leisurely, his whole body exuding the fragrance of mango, making Tuanzi almost want to grab his hand and take a bite.

The three of them took a ride home.

Duan Xiayou sat in the front passenger seat, initially feeling a little drowsy but soon felt itchy all over, scratching himself a few times uncontrollably.

The driver glanced at him in surprise, "Handsome, could you be having an allergic reaction?"

The two in the backseat immediately poked their heads out, noticing that Duan Xiayou’s neck was red, startling them.

"Uncle, hurry to the hospital." Tuanzi anxiously patted the back of the driver’s seat.

The driver immediately took them to the nearest hospital.

Upon examination, it turned out that Duan Xiayou was allergic to mangoes.

The doctor: "The symptoms aren’t severe; just take some medicine and stay away from mangoes in the future."

Duan Xiayou silently nodded.

He hadn’t encountered anything like this in over twenty years.

Hearing the sound of ’pfft pfft’, he looked back to see his junior siblings were covering their mouths, secretly laughing.

[Ancient Martial System: An allergy is not a laughing matter, is it good to laugh at him?]

[Miaomiao: If it were severe, Miaomiao would never laugh at him]

Only because it’s not severe can they laugh.

Who asked the Senior Brother to insist on eating mango ice cream to tempt her? There were obviously so many ice creams to choose from.

As soon as the three of them came out of the dermatology department, they heard a surprised voice.

"Miaomiao?"

This voice, it sounded a little familiar.

Tuanzi turned around and saw a handsome guy wearing black-framed glasses.

"Oh, it’s you!"

Gu Zhuo hadn’t said anything yet when Tuanzi smilingly approached, holding her hands in front, "You’re Miaomiao’s cousin, right? Why didn’t you say anything last time?"

Gu Zhuo held his breath, a wave of indescribable emotion rising in his heart.

"Did you ask at home?"

"Yes, Miaomiao asked Chunchao brother."

Tuanzi looked puzzled, "Why didn’t you just say so? If big brother hadn’t guessed your identity and Miaomiao hadn’t asked Chunchao brother, we wouldn’t have known your identity, or that you’re studying in Jiang City."

Gu Zhuo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t.

Due to the elders, these younger generations hadn’t had any contact with the children of the younger aunt’s house.

No contact, then suddenly acknowledging relations might be considered as having ulterior motives, right?

But seeing his cousin’s clear eyes, he felt they might have overthought it.

Feeling embarrassed to admit these things, Gu Zhuo swiftly changed the subject, "Are you sick?"

"No, it’s Senior Brother who has an allergy."

Tuanzi turned around and pointed at the two calm elders waiting for her.

Gu Zhuo nodded, indicating he understood.

Tuanzi then asked why he was at the hospital.

"The professor isn’t feeling well, I escorted him here."

Just as he spoke, the professor he mentioned came out from the adjacent department. Upon seeing Tuanzi and her group, his eyes lit up.

"Kid, are you free today? Can I go to your house to study that sword? I didn’t finish last time."

Gu Zhuo was somewhat helpless, "Professor, did you forget that we are going to explore that tomb tomorrow?"

The archaeology professor replied confidently, "It’s not until tomorrow, I have plenty of time today."

Gu Zhuo was even more helpless, "Yesterday, you were so excited after knowing you were invited that you didn’t sleep all night, so you’re here today."

He himself was passionate about archaeology, but nowhere near as much as his teacher. This teacher would research without eating or drinking and would use any means necessary to study others’ collections sometimes.

Tuanzi understood then.

This old professor was so excited about being invited to investigate a tomb set to be excavated that he couldn’t sleep, causing health issues that brought him to the hospital. If he went non-stop to their house to study the Listening Wave Sword, he would probably collapse again.

Tuanzi cleverly said immediately, "We don’t have time, these days we are all busy with work."
