Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 622: Missing Master

"Warm Company" Episode 2, Day 3.

The netizens entered the livestream room on time, only to find several kids forming a circle, their round little heads huddled together, seemingly whispering about something.

[Wow, a circle of dumplings, I want to eat them]

[What secret are they whispering about that we can’t hear? We’re all family after all]

[They even took off their earphones, seems like they’re sharing a little secret]

[Ahhh, I hear laughter, what are they talking about? Cameraman, can you move closer?]

The cameraman couldn’t see the comments.

Not long ago, he promised the kids not to get close when they’re whispering. As an adult who keeps his promises, even if he’s curious, he wouldn’t eavesdrop or reveal the kids’ secrets.

The kids were discussing Cheng Cai’s matter.

Tuanzi quietly took out her phone and swiped to the local news page.

"Caught at seven in the morning, and the news was out by eight. Those reporters are so dutiful."

A bunch of heads crowded in to read the news, confirming that Cheng Cai was indeed caught, and his hairstyle was ugly, making everyone laugh aloud.

"Serves him right," Tang Jing couldn’t help but comment, "After we returned to the hotel yesterday, Bailing kept scolding."

Their Bailing has a lot of spirit, and the fact that he was so angry shows how bad Cheng Cai was.

Bailing scolded for so long that Tang Jing felt like its voice was still ringing in his ears.

"My Feichi too, kept sharpening his claws," Zhou Mei nodded repeatedly, "Luckily that pet hotel provides scratching boards, otherwise if the furniture got damaged, we’d have to pay."

Ensuring the bad guy got the lesson he deserved, the kids were overjoyed.

Their world was that simple, good people get good rewards, bad people get punished.

The happy kids joyfully spent a day together before parting ways again.

Perhaps because of dealing with Cheng Cai, Tuanzi started to cling to East Gate West actively.

But they were returning that day, and it was East Gate East using the body.

Tuanzi sat next to East Gate East, all the while recommending various foods.

Having not experienced delicious food before, East Gate East accepted everything, even exchanging different flavored foods with Tuanzi.

East Gate West felt a surge of jealousy, wanting several times to forcibly take control. But each time such a thought emerged, East Gate East, uncharacteristically clever, would say lightly, "If you breach the agreement and come out, wouldn’t Miaomiao think you’re an adult who doesn’t keep promises?"

East Gate West chose to endure it, planning to get up early the next day to run three hundred laps, do five hundred sit-ups, five hundred push-ups, and practice sword swings a thousand times. Unless he dropped from exhaustion, he wouldn’t bear the East Gate surname!

East Gate East, who was eating, had no idea that next time when he came out, he’d lie in bed for a whole day due to muscle soreness.

Jiangshui Yun, Gu Mansion.

Tuanzi was researching new martial arts, her eyes glued to the thin manual, her arm unconsciously waving about.

Not far away, Li Zhou was sitting cross-legged on a wooden chair, focusing on cultivating his spiritual power.

Also not far away, East Gate West was rapidly doing push-ups. He moved so fast that to others he seemed like a mere blur.

East Gate West was very happy, East Gate East was not.

The scene was harmonious, making one reluctant to disturb it.

Jin Shilin stood outside the courtyard for a few minutes without knocking.

The system couldn’t stand it anymore.

[Ancient Martial System: Jin Shilin is here]

Tuanzi snapped back to reality and reluctantly moved her gaze from the manual to the doorway.

Even in casual wear, Jin Shilin couldn’t hide his elite aura. He wore glasses and carried a paper bag, yet looked like he was holding a briefcase ready to go to work.

Tuanzi beamed a bright smile.

"Cousin, you’re here~"

With a leap, she disappeared from where she stood, landing directly in front of Jin Shilin over the wooden fence.

After saying hello, her big eyes glued onto the paper bag.

"Cousin, did you bring me something delicious?"

His slightly pursed lips relaxed a bit.

The dark eyes showed traces of a smile.

Only when you consider someone family would you naturally ask for a gift when they visit.

He suddenly thought of when he was young, classmates shared experiences where parents, after being away for a long time, would certainly bring gifts. The gifts themselves and the intention behind them could alleviate the loneliness caused by parents being on business trips for extended periods.

He and his brother had such expectations too, but the first time they asked, they were scolded and never dared to ask again. Later, they understood that parents weren’t obligated to bring gifts for the children at home after long business trips. One couldn’t complain, blame, or be disappointed.

Having felt disappointment before, he didn’t want his sister to feel the same.

"I brought pine nut candy."

Jin Shilin revealed the candy packaging.

Tuanzi’s eyes lit up.

"Ah, it’s made by Brother Wen Qi!"

"Yes," Jin Shilin saw her opening the package like a little glutton, his smile growing more evident, "I can’t make this, so I described the pine nut candy from your memory to him, and he tried to make it. Give it a taste."

There are modern pine nut candies too, with more appealing packaging and improved taste and texture compared to the past. Tuanzi had happily bought some before, but they didn’t have the taste from her memory.

If it were any other modern candy, she wouldn’t care what it was; she’d love it. But if it was the pine nut candy loaded with so many memories, she only wanted the one from her memories.

It’s worth noting that over pine nut candy, she argued countless times with her master. Either he smugly ate the candy with huge bites, frustrating her to no end, or she’d hold the candy and run into the mountains while he chased with a broom.

Tuanzi carefully peeled one, hesitated for a while, then closed her eyes and tossed the pine nut candy into her mouth.

The familiar taste spread.

Tuanzi couldn’t help but open her eyes wide, initial joy quickly giving way to tears.

Jin Shilin was a bit at a loss, pulling out a pack of tissues from his pocket.

"Does it not taste good?"

"Boohoohoo!"

Tuanzi threw herself into his arms with red eyes, "It tastes the same! Boohoohoo! Master, Miaomiao misses master!"

Originally not planning to intervene, Li Zhou and East Gate West came over.

They hadn’t seen their master in a long time either. But unlike their little sister, when they met their master, they were already adults and had experienced much. But when little sister met the master, she was only half a year old. It was the master who raised her like a parent.

The three adults didn’t know how to comfort her.

Tuanzi continued crying while eating candy, hiccuping as she cried, with tears hanging from her long lashes and a red nose.

She clutched the bag of pine nut candy, "Miaomiao wants to continue practicing martial arts!"

She didn’t need anyone else’s comfort. Although not even six, she knew very well that only by leveling the Martial Arts Master to a hundred would she have a chance to exchange the big rewards for her master to come to the modern world healthily.

She needed to work hard! Even harder!

Everyone seemed to see a blazing fire ignite behind her.

No one said anything comforting, only sincerely encouraging her, "Keep it up."
