CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 221: THE LOW-EMOTIONAL-INTELLIGENCE BROTHER

Tuanzi finished eating the tender chicken drumstick and sweet red dates, then boldly picked up her bowl and drank the soup with gusto.

After drinking, she placed the bowl on the table and said heartily, "Another bowl!"

[Ancient Martial System: Don’t imitate your master. He always does that when drinking at taverns.]

Tuanzi pouted.

In reality, someone else complained as well.

Gu Yunmu sat down, hearing this, and sneered, "Are you drinking alcohol? Kids can’t drink alcohol."

Tuanzi squinted at him.

After removing her contact lenses, this cousin’s aura hadn’t changed much.

He had a beautiful face, with light brown eyes giving off a bright feeling. However, his dressing style was rather flamboyant, like a peacock.

While drinking soup earlier, her elder brother explained again that this Gu Yunmu was actually her uncle’s youngest son, only one month older than Gu Che, the youngest of her six cousins. He started a game company and invested in a gaming club, having good relationships with some e-sports players.

Brother also showed her a family photo of her uncle’s family, and she found that cousin Gu Qize resembled uncle Gu Yu more, while this cousin was more like her aunt.

The two brothers not only differed in appearance but were also polar opposites in temperament. Tuanzi suspected they might fight if they were together.

Just then, Gu Cheng served Gu Yunmu another bowl of soup.

Gu Yunmu picked up his chopsticks, ready to eat, noticed Tuanzi’s intense gaze, and asked her, "Do you want to eat?"

Tuanzi nodded like a little chick pecking rice.

Her glossy big eyes sparkled as she blinked a few times.

So cute!

Gu Yunmu exclaimed in his heart and then drank the bowl of soup right in front of Tuanzi.

Tuanzi: "!"

[Ancient Martial System: Pfft]

[Miaomiao: Little Gu, you’re snickering!]

The system pretended to be dormant.

Tuanzi, angry, crossed her arms and huffed a few times.

"It’s his soup, his choice. He’s not obligated to give it to you."

Gu Cheng took the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Tuanzi pouted, "Miaomiao knows, it’s his soup."

She was mad that this sixth cousin dared to show off while drinking soup and looking at her.

So infuriating!

[Ancient Martial System: That’s your misconception, he wasn’t showing off.]

[Miaomiao: Not pretending to be dormant anymore?]

The system quickly pretended to go offline.

Fortunately, Gu Cheng filled her half a bowl, which stopped Tuanzi from staring at Gu Yunmu’s bowl.

She drank another bowl with gusto and then suddenly remembered her suitcase was still outside, quickly running out to bring it in.

Gu Yunmu also finished drinking, strolled into the living room, and seeing her dragging the suitcase, laughed, "Didn’t expect you to be so strong."

Tuanzi blinked, "Miaomiao has always been very strong."

Gu Yunmu: "You walk really fast too."

"Isn’t that obvious?"

Gu Yunmu sincerely said, "But isn’t it tiring and slow for fat people to walk?"

[Ancient Martial System: !]

Gu Cheng, coming out of the dining room: "!"

Looking at Tuanzi again, she was in shock.

"Fat, fat people?"

Gu Yunmu tilted his head, assessing her, "On closer look, you’re not that fat; it’s mainly your chubby cheeks and belly, everything else is fine."

"Chubby, chubby?"

Tuanzi was completely thrown off.

She rubbed her cheeks and loudly argued, "It’s baby fat; it won’t be there when I grow up."

Then she patted her slightly protruding belly, "That’s normal too. Little kids have round bellies, it’ll go away when we grow up."

Gu Yunmu looked her over again, "That’s true, but you do have a lot of cheek meat."

He was about to pinch her cheeks when Tuanzi, furious, ran away.

"This brother is naughty," Tuanzi complained to Gu Cheng, "Shall we kick him out?"

Before Gu Cheng could speak, Gu Yunmu was shocked, "Why would you say I’m naughty and want to kick me out? Miaomiao, don’t you like me as a brother?"

Tuanzi: dead fish eyes.jpg

The system observed with amazement, witnessing the effort Tuanzi took to squint her big eyes into dead fish eyes, showing how much she despised Gu Yunmu.

Gu Yunmu genuinely didn’t understand, approaching with blue hair in a daze, trying to poke Tuanzi’s cheeks, only to be avoided with disdain.

"You’re naughty."

Gu Yunmu was deeply hurt.

Tuanzi ’hummed,’ hoisting her suitcase and ’thudding’ upstairs, showcasing her strength.

At that moment, Gu Yunmu’s voice came from behind, "Eating so much, having such strength seems quite logical."

Eat, so, much!

It was true, but Tuanzi found it grating to hear.

She stood in the second-floor corridor looking down, glaring at Gu Yunmu indignantly.

Gu Yunmu thought she was waving, so he waved back.

"Maybe Miaomiao is just shy, and she actually likes me. I get it."

Gu Cheng: "...as long as you’re happy."

Tuanzi, with keen ears: "..."

How could there be someone with so little self-awareness?

She returned to her room, full of disdain.

Meanwhile, the system pondered and came to a conclusion.

[Ancient Martial System: Is this perhaps what they call someone who can’t read the room?]

Tuanzi: "?"

[Ancient Martial System: It’s someone who’s insensitive, can’t grasp situations, and often says things that make people uncomfortable. He’s a bit narcissistic too.]

The system considered, a handsome but emotionally unintelligent yet narcissistic person, hmm, with so many brothers, you’ll see all kinds of people. Wish him well on his path to sibling relationships.

Tuanzi opened her suitcase to organize her clothes.

She declared she’d dislike Gu Yunmu for one night at least.

"Age is no excuse for saying the wrong things," Tuanzi said, taking pride in herself, "Miaomiao is young and very sensible."

[Ancient Martial System: Yes, yes, you’re the most sensible. Just finished eating, you can’t take a bath or lie in bed, go downstairs for a walk.]

Thinking of encountering Gu Yunmu downstairs, Tuanzi reluctantly opened the door.

Opening the door, she saw a tuft of blue hair.

Hmm, this height.

Tuanzi noticed Gu Yunmu squatting outside her door playing with his phone. He was quite tall, squatting all hunched up, looking a bit pitiful.

All her discomfort vanished without a trace.

Thinking her cousin was sincerely apologizing, Tuanzi decided to reluctantly forgive him.

"What are you doing squatting here?" She gave a heavy ’humph.’

Gu Yunmu put away his phone, coolly propping himself up against the wall. But since he was squatting, the pose looked somewhat comical.

"Here to apologize to you."

Tuanzi slightly raised her chin, side-eyeing him, trying to appear indifferent.

"Well, apologize then. Apologize first, so Miaomiao knows whether to forgive you or not."

Gu Yunmu’s face lit up with joy.

He quickly said, "Though you’re a bit plump and eat a lot, having a good appetite is a blessing. You exercise a lot, and being healthy is what matters."

Tuanzi twisted her neck to look at him.

"That’s your apology?"

Gu Yunmu blinked sincerely, "Yes, I promise I won’t say you eat a lot in the future."

Tuanzi stared straight at him, then retreated into her room under his hopeful gaze. With a small paw grab, she slammed the door shut.

Gu Yunmu: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
