CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 345: MIAOMIAO: HEHE, SWEET AND SOUR PORK

Tuanzi obediently and timidly described what happened.

Despite glancing up at Gu Cheng several times during her explanation, hoping to sway him, Gu Cheng remained completely unmoved and was serious when he needed to be.

During this time, she also sent SOS signals with her eyes to Jin Chunting for help, but this mild-mannered cousin acted as if he didn’t see anything, slowly peeling an orange and eating it.

Darn it, she wanted to eat too!

No, that’s not the main point!

"At first, it was out of curiosity...then I got scared and couldn’t sleep at night..."

Gu Cheng remembered that day; he rarely came home and ended up seeing his sister practicing martial arts in the yard, bleary-eyed with sleepy movements that lacked the preciseness they usually did, but she was still practicing.

He felt sorry for her at the time and advised her not to be so diligent, to go back to sleep.

"No wonder you didn’t want to go to sleep then. Was it because you were scared and couldn’t sleep?"

Tuanzi sheepishly turned her little head away and softly explained, "Hard work and practice pay off, it wasn’t just because I was scared."

Even if the master wasn’t there, she was diligently practicing!

Jin Chunting praised her.

Tuanzi immediately looked at him with her eyes shining brightly.

Brother, look at my sincere eyes, help me!

Jin Chunting looked away and continued peeling the orange.

Tuanzi pursed her lips and spoke a second time.

"It was with Second Brother. He said he was quite interested too, so we watched together."

Tuanzi enjoyed the experience despite everything.

At the scary parts, Second Brother’s hand was trembling, but he still covered her eyes.

"Miaomiao didn’t laugh at him," Tuanzi said with her head held high. "Because Miaomiao was scared too. We’re the scaredy siblings."

Gu Cheng was speechless; this fear seemed to have turned into a sort of pride.

"Then why did you mock Yun Mu?"

Mentioning Gu Yunmu, Tuanzi got angry.

"Miaomiao accidentally let something slip, and he laughed at Miaomiao and Second Brother!"

Tuanzi angrily thumped her paw.

"So Miaomiao said to watch together and see who was more scared!"

As it turned out, Gu Yunmu was so scared he hid behind her.

Tiny her, and big Gu Yunmu, wasn’t that hiding for nothing?

And Gu Yunmu kept calling his brother’s name, as if his brother could cross great distances to find him immediately.

"Then," Tuanzi quickly glanced at Gu Cheng and admitted she watched a horror movie once more, "Gu Chi Brother found out about it. He wanted to watch with us too."

Gu Cheng: "..."

Jin Chunting couldn’t hold back his laughter.

"Are you guys rescuing Grandpa like the Calabash Brothers?"

One after another, sending in reinforcements.

"Absolutely not!"

Tuanzi furiously jumped down and gestured with her hand.

"Gu Chi Brother is so bad! When we got to the scary parts, we were covering our eyes and peeking through our fingers, and he suddenly scared us. We were terrified!"

Gu Chi was watching a movie? More like he was watching our reactions!

"He was scarier than the movie!"

After being scared several times, Tuanzi and Gu Yunmu couldn’t stand it anymore and ran away screaming, and they never watched again.

Gu Cheng: "..." He even felt grateful for Gu Chi’s ’treatment’, which completely extinguished his sister’s curiosity.

He wasn’t sure if Gu Chi deliberately used this method to stop the two from wanting to watch or if it was simply a prank. If it was a prank, Gu Chi wouldn’t go that far.

He sent Gu Chi a message and quickly got a reply.

[What do you think]

Gu Cheng: "..."

Then, Gu Cheng took Tuanzi to the balcony to scold her before letting her go.

Tuanzi immediately ran to Jin Chunchao’s room to hide.

"Boohoo, Big Brother is usually gentle, but when he puts on a stern face, he’s terrifying!"

[Ancient Martial System: If you didn’t make mistakes, he wouldn’t have to put on a stern face.]

[Miaomiao: How can watching a movie be considered a mistake?]

Afraid the system would take Gu Cheng’s side, Tuanzi still argued firmly.

[Miaomiao: Besides, it was Little Gu who scared me first!]

The system, recalling its own faulty guidance, felt rather guilty.

For now, a truce was formed between the person and the system, neither bringing up the other’s shortcomings.

Tuanzi played with her fingers for a while, then suddenly thought of the rapidly increasing reputation value.

[Miaomiao: Oh right, Little Gu, you previously said that if there was one more martial arts master, it would be more attractive. Has another senior brother crossed over recently?]

The system was factual.

[Ancient Martial System: Firstly, no one can be sure if your senior brother will definitely cross over; secondly, you have other senior brothers, as your master mentioned, and the eldest brother deduced, but whether it’s true, nobody knows; lastly, even if this world has become a sieve, it doesn’t mean your senior brother would cross over.]

Tuanzi: "..." The familiar formula, the familiar picky system.

She turned her head away and started looking for a book to read, but found that most were related to oral topics, so she reluctantly put them down.

With nothing else to occupy her, she went back to playing with her fingers out of boredom.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Jin Chunting’s voice called from outside for dinner.

"Sweet and sour pork, here I come!"

Tuanzi excitedly climbed up, opened the door, and was met with Gu Cheng’s amused and slightly mocking gaze.

"Eek."

Gu Cheng rubbed her head with amusement, "Go wash your hands for dinner."

Tuanzi perked right up, "Okay!"

She quickly took a few steps, then remembered something and turned back to Gu Cheng, "You should wash your hands too, Miaomiao’s hair is dirty."

She hadn’t washed her hair and went straight to sleep last night, then came straight to North City today.

Seeing Gu Cheng freeze, she ran away giggling, made her way to the kitchen, took a deep breath, and felt she could eat three bowls of rice for lunch! Three whole bowls!

To do justice to those three bowls of rice, she even checked with Jin Chunchao, "Where’s your grandpa? Have you called him? If not, Miaomiao can call him."

She was rubbing her hands in anticipation.

Just as Jin Chunting was about to speak, the doorbell rang, and upon opening the door, Old Sir Jin was there.

The old man didn’t really want to come over, but thinking about what the little girl had said, he was afraid she would run around and make noise, so he came over of his own accord, not giving her the chance.

Now seeing Tuanzi hiding behind his eldest grandson and making faces, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He decided to endure, just for this one meal!

If other members of the Jin Family knew the old man’s thoughts, they would surely be astonished.

The old man had lived for so many years; when had he ever endured anything?

Previously, whether at work or in life, his temper was notoriously strong.

In the workplace, his high position meant that even if he was stubborn, others wouldn’t mention it. Apart from this, he was capable and responsible, so even if he had a temper, subordinates only complained behind his back.

At home, he brought his leadership style back, and his word was law. His late wife, being gentle-natured, never argued with him, and most of the children also went along with him.

The first to stand up against him was his youngest daughter.

And now there was another granddaughter.

Yet, surprisingly, he conceded for this granddaughter’s sake.

Unaware that her ’irritating plan’ had succeeded, Tuanzi gave Grandpa a slight stir and then happily trotted to the dining room, climbed into a chair, and eagerly awaited the meal.

"Sweet and sour pork! Sweet and sour pork!"
