Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 441: The Fox and the Rabbit
Gu Mansion.
The left side of the sofa, the young artist smiled warmly, seemingly noticing the unease of the person beside him, his smile became even more radiant.
On the right side of the sofa, Gu Zhuo sat restlessly, wanting to stand up but too embarrassed to do so, his right hand unconsciously picking at the seam of his pants.
He glanced at Gu Chi a few times from the corner of his eye, looking away quickly before Gu Chi noticed. He regretted more than once in his heart, thinking he shouldn’t have sat on the multi-seater sofa just because Gu Chi’s smile was kind when he first arrived.
If he had sat on the single-seater sofa, he wouldn’t feel so cramped. But would changing seats now be mistaken as having an opinion on Gu Chi?
He remained silent, but his mind was racing, and his head unconsciously drooped down.
"Here comes the fruit!"
Tuanzi, who had finished washing fruit, came rushing out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, hesitated and stopped when seeing the scene in the living room.
She tilted her head, puzzlingly looking to the left, then to the right.
[Ancient Martial System: What are you looking at?]
[Miaomiao: Ah, watching a fox catch a rabbit!]
[Ancient Martial System: ?]
Tuanzi tilted her head, inspecting the smiling Gu Chi, always feeling that he was like a fox waving its fluffy big tail, beautiful yet cunning.
Then looking at cousin Gu Zhuo, he seemed like a white rabbit with drooping ears, trying to cover his face with the long soft ears. As if not seeing the fox meant the fox wouldn’t catch him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Shaking her little head fiercely, Tuanzi shook off this guess.
"Gu Zhuo brother, do you like eating apples? Miaomiao loves them~"
Gu Chi seemed to deliberately lean closely to Gu Zhuo.
But at this moment, Tuanzi tried hard to squeeze between them, jostling Gu Chi to the side.
Sitting next to his sister, Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t forget to answer Tuanzi, "I like green apples."
"Hehe, we just have green apples."
Tuanzi happily picked a green apple and handed it to him.
Gu Zhuo took a bite, suddenly sensing a gaze. He turned his head to see Gu Chi’s smiling face and was nearly choked with fright.
Gu Chi smiled and said, "Don’t be nervous, I won’t eat people."
Gu Zhuo: "..."
Though he said that, this artist was handsome, often squinting his eyes into crescent shapes, looking like he had a particularly good temper. But for some reason, seeing Gu Chi made Gu Zhuo’s heart tremble.
In contrast, his younger brother, though hot-tempered, didn’t scare him. Nor did he fear his cousin’s two apprentices, who were expressionless. Only this Gu Chi, even with a pleasing smile, made him want to keep his distance, even though the other was extremely polite, and specially welcomed him on behalf of his cousin Gu Cheng.
Thinking it over, Gu Zhuo blamed himself for being overly sensitive.
He politely drew up the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I-I’m not nervous."
Tuanzi and Gu Chi: "..."
Tuanzi tried even harder to push Gu Chi aside, patting Gu Zhuo’s arm.
"Alright, alright, you’re not nervous," clearly younger, yet coaxing the older cousin, "Cousin, what do you want for lunch? Later Gu Chi brother will cook, today, he’s the chef!"
Gu Zhuo suddenly didn’t feel like having lunch.
He had a feeling that eating a meal cooked by Gu Chi would have terrible consequences.
He sneaked another glance at Gu Chi, whose smile seemed glued to his face, the curve of his lips unchanged.
This person wasn’t scary looking, why is it he felt uncomfortable?
When Gu Zhuo spoke, his voice was slightly dry, "Anything is fine, I’ll eat anything."
Tuanzi immediately took over the task of taking orders, her little mouth babbling out the names of dishes.
"... Braised prawns, five-spice beef, four-happiness meatballs..."
Gu Chi grabbed her small mouth, molding it into a duck shape.
"I can only cook home-style dishes."
"These are home-style dishes!"
Tuanzi pushed his hand away, righteously saying, "Very home-style dishes, Gu Chi brother you should work hard to learn, strive to keep up with big brother and Wangchao brother!"
Gu Chi smiled, Tuanzi also smiled, the two exchanging glances, one with a faint gaze, the other sincere.
Gu Zhuo looked at their exchange confusedly.
The next second, the two acted simultaneously, Gu Chi pinching Tuanzi’s cheeks, while Tuanzi rushed into Gu Chi’s arms, reaching to pull his hair.
"Just these dishes!"
"No."
"You can learn if you don’t know!"
"I’ll learn if you change your attitude."
"No, no!"
The siblings began an pointless quarrel, during which they pinched each other’s face and pulled hair, pulling apart braids, and pinching arms.
Gu Zhuo instinctively stood up to stop them but seeing their expressions, he silently sat back down.
This is playing, he concluded.
He felt a bit envious.
Eventually, Tuanzi and Gu Chi each took a step back, Gu Chi would only learn two of them, and Tuanzi had to help.
"Gu Zhuo brother," Tuanzi hadn’t forgotten their intent was to invite him for a meal, "do you want to help handle the ingredients?"
She looked up, her smile bright, "Big brother and second brother are out, not coming back for lunch, it’s just the three of us oh."
Gu Zhuo nodded.
But there was still a while to the preparation of ingredients, and Tuanzi invited Gu Zhuo to watch cartoons together.
"Because you’re coming, big brother specially allowed Miaomiao to watch cartoons for half an hour more."
Tuanzi smiled sweetly, affectionately hugging Gu Zhuo’s arm, "Cousin, you should come often. The more you come, the more often Miaomiao can watch cartoons."
Gu Zhuo showed a hesitant expression.
"Please, Miaomiao can only watch half an hour each day, super pitiful."
Tuanzi pouted, blinking hard, trying to squeeze out a few drops of tears.
After forcing for some time, without a single drop of tear, she nonchalantly went to get the remote.
Gu Zhuo was not interested in cartoons, but given his cousin’s invite, he seriously watched from the side.
When Tuanzi said ’want to learn 72 Transformations,’ he didn’t harshly point it out, instead earnestly said, "Then you need to find the founder first, the secret manual is with him."
"That’s right, where to find the founder?"
Tuanzi took out her phone to check the map.
[Ancient Martial System: Check later, the plot is so exciting, it’d be bad to miss it]
Tuanzi hurriedly put down the phone, staring at the TV screen, her little mouth slightly open.
Gu Zhuo then put a slice of orange into her mouth, Tuanzi unconsciously chewed and swallowed it.
The young man found some joy, began to seriously feed her, and after a while heard a light chuckle, turning his head, found Gu Chi admiring clay figurines.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to communicate.
"It’d be great if these could be mass-produced."
Gu Chi picked up a clay figure holding a sword, "They’d definitely sell well."
Gu Zhuo was puzzled, "Sell to Miaomiao’s fans? That wouldn’t be right."
He could make a few as ornaments, or give to his sister, but selling them to others felt odd, a bit uncomfortable.
"No, sell to us."
Gu Chi smiled, "Or barter, I have many portraits of Miaomiao here."
Gu Zhuo’s eyes lit up, for the first time not thinking this handsome artist was frightening.
He moved to another seat, starting to whisper with Gu Chi.
Tuanzi kept her eyes on the TV, completely ignoring the people around her.
