CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 232: MIAOMIAO: SAVE ME

"Then let’s not worry about it for now, just keep in touch with your grandpa."

Tuanzi calmly said, "Take your time. All you need to remember is to follow your heart."

She could somewhat understand Yi Kai’s dilemma.

Leaving his father, who although daunting, had been with him for years, or following his caring but unfamiliar grandpa, this was a tough choice for a child.

But no matter what he chooses in the future, he must be responsible for his choice.

Yi Kai showed a relaxed smile.

"Okay, then I won’t think about it, I’ll just take it slow."

After a pause, he hesitated again, "I was actually going to ask my big brother about this, but he told me, ’Don’t tell me. If Dad asks me about you, I’ll tell the truth.’"

The little boy sensed it keenly, "Maybe my big brother knows that my grandpa is contacting me."

That sentence could be translated as, if Yi Fei actively asks Yi Heng, Yi Heng won’t hide it. But on the flip side, as long as Yi Kai doesn’t tell Yi Heng, Yi Heng doesn’t know, even if he wants to answer Yi Fei, he’ll have no basis.

"Then don’t tell him."

Tuanzi thought seriously, "He should be afraid of your dad too."

Because of fear, because of control, if Yi Fei actively asks, Yi Heng, who cannot leave that home, can only answer truthfully.

"Actually, he can also leave; isn’t he an adult now? Besides, he can earn money."

Tuanzi shrugged, "Maybe he hasn’t thought about it."

Unintentionally said, Yi Kai listened and pondered.

The two kids rejoined the cameraman and ran to the kitchen.

The kitchen had been partially remodeled, looking a bit like a restaurant kitchen.

After this program, the rest would be renovated. And this episode, they had to earn the cost of renovation.

Gu Chi wasn’t in the kitchen, while their small partner Gu Jiujiu was indeed too absorbed in food to think about replacing anything.

"Jiujiu!" Tuanzi called out frustratedly.

The little boy busy eating raised his head, looking at her confused, seemingly not understanding why his buddy was angry.

[Hahaha, did he forget because he’s eating?]

[That’s the charm of food]

[Miaomiao: So upset!]

"Miaomiao, try this."

Yi Kai pushed a plate of stir-fried clams over.

"Smells pretty good."

Tuanzi grudgingly picked one up, and after eating the meat inside, her eyes lit up and she buried her head to eat, forgetting her previous frustration.

Ai Tanbo, who was helping in the kitchen, handed over a small bowl of fried rice, "This is great too, a bit spicy, a little sour, makes you want more."

Ai Fengyi strongly recommended the shrimp cake, "This can be a big hit as a snack!"

"Wowowow!"

Tuanzi was eating happily.

Despite eating, everyone didn’t hold back their praises.

Especially the kids, who praised Yi Heng’s cooking skills to the skies one after another.

Yi Heng found it helpless yet amusing.

But it couldn’t be denied that seeing the smiles on these children’s faces brought him joy.

Being recognized, being needed, was a feeling he had never experienced with his father.

Once full, Tuanzi remembered she had a brother.

She refused to admit she forgot her brother because of food and asked the staff guiltily, "Have you seen Gu Chi brother?"

Staff: "He received an emergency call, seems someone got lost, and he went to fetch them."

"Lost?"

Tuanzi’s first thought was Gu Mo, "Could it be Gu Mo brother came over?"

She instinctively looked up at the second-floor veranda, but her angle couldn’t see the telescope.

"But the last time, didn’t he find this place?"

The nearest parking lot was a bit of a distance away, and the temporary taxi drop-off point was also a bit distant.

The last time, Gu Mo and some students successfully found it, not getting lost.

[Ancient Martial System: Maybe he came alone this time]

Without students leading, Gu Mo had a high chance of getting lost.

Tuanzi ’heehee’ laughed, a bit looking forward to it.

Since Gu Mo brother came, she’d have some sweets again.

Going home last time, big brother indeed criticized her for eating too many sweets at once, and strictly controlled her daily sugar intake for the following days.

This time, she would definitely avoid the cameras!

Tuanzi clenched her fist with full determination.

The wind brought a clear and excited voice.

"Miaomiao, did you miss me?"

Little paws patted ears.

"Did Miaomiao have hallucinations?"

Tuanzi looked puzzled, "Miaomiao heard the annoying guy’s voice."

[Ancient Martial System: Turn around, look back]

Tuanzi reluctantly turned around, seeing a figure quickly approaching.

The man was very young, with a divine face, features so exquisite it’s absurd. His hair was dyed smog blue, wearing blue contact lenses, his ears adorned with completely different colored earrings, wearing a beach-style shirt with buttons undone, and his shorts were actually pink.

Tuanzi painfully covered her eyes.

"Miaomiao’s eyes!"

The bullet screen directly exploded.

[Wow, this is a new idol debuting?]

[What does godly face mean, what does manga face mean, this is it!]

[I’m not saying, this handsome guy’s fashion sense is really questionable... but how is he still so handsome with such random matching]

[I seem to see a peacock flaunting its feathers, this face, this color, really like a peacock]

Gu Yunmu cheerfully ran over, lifting Tuanzi up to nuzzle like a clingy big cat, making Tuanzi’s head shake side to side.

"Haha, Miaomiao, our company is having a retreat here, we’re meeting again, are you happy?"

Tuanzi: "..."

[Miaomiao: Face written all over with happiness/fatigue.jpg]

Gu Yunmu, as if not noticing Tuanzi’s expression, continued excitedly, "Heard your restaurant is having a trial opening, I directly booked several team-building meals to support you, are you happy?"

Tuanzi raised her hand expressionlessly and apathetically clapped.

"So happy."

The audience was in stitches, with some guessing their relationship.

Gu Chi slowly approached with other guests.

Tuanzi stretched out her hand towards him, her face full of ’Save me, hurry and save me.’

Gu Chi smiled and looked away, first leading the guests into the restaurant, having other guests entertain them, and then discussed signpost matters with the program team.

"I led them over here and found it really isn’t easy to find; you have to cross a rocky area. Future guests might get impatient."

And if they take a detour, that path also has other restaurants, unless their reputation is enough to attract guests, otherwise guests could entirely choose nearby instead.

Miao Mu was also troubled, "I’ve been thinking about this too."

Being a guest, Gu Yunmu confidently hugged Tuanzi, who was also a staff member, clinging to her.

After clinging for a while, Tuanzi, unable to bear it, lifted her paw and ’slapped’ it on his face, "You’re so annoying, let go of Miaomiao quickly."

Gu Yunmu innocently curved his eyes, "Miaomiao, didn’t you really miss me? You specially ran out to greet me."

Tuanzi was about to speak the truth.

Gu Yunmu confidently said, "Now I’m the guest, go pour me a glass of water. I want my sister to pour it personally."

Tuanzi: (▼へ▼メ)

Tuanzi angrily ran to the kitchen and poured a glass of lemon water.

After thinking for a moment, she grabbed a bottle of concentrated lemon juice and heavily added it inside, satisfied she brought the lemon water out.

Still in the kitchen, the kids looked at each other.

Gu Jiujiu softly asked, "Will this scare the guest away?"
