Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Gu Mo Is Easy to Bully
In the originally large package, there were only a few pineapple buns and a box of puffs left. All the mousse cakes she wanted to eat were gone.
Her big eyes immediately drooped, looking pitifully at her brothers.
"You guys are so mean, boo-hoo."
Gu Chi rubbed his nose, "You gave them to us yourself."
Tuanzi pouted.
Thinking about it, it seemed like she did give them away herself, she couldn’t blame her brothers.
But now, she had no cake to eat.
"Waaah boo-hoo!" she cried a few times, her big eyes watching Gu Che’s hand, about to open the box.
At this moment, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around, only to see a seat, looking to the side; she saw Gu Mo in the back row handing over a piece of Black Forest cake.
The originally elegant professor had a pineapple bun in his mouth, looking a bit silly and cute.
"Is this for Miaomiao?"
Gu Mo nodded, his expression was minimal.
Tuanzi joyfully took it, "Gu Mo brother, you’re so nice. Miaomiao likes you a lot!"
Gu Mo: "!"
He turned into a red apple right in front of his little sister.
"You changed colors again, it’s amazing."
Tuanzi carefully ate the Black Forest while appreciating Gu Mo’s changing face.
Gu Mo, at a loss, sat back slowly munching on the pineapple bun, his eyes vacant.
Tuanzi tilted her head to study him.
[Miaomiao: Little Gu, don’t you think he’s kind of easy to bully?]
Gu Mo was the second in rank among this generation, with the highest degree.
Before meeting him, Tuanzi imagined him as a strict brother no less intimidating than the eldest brother. Plus, this cousin was a professor who often taught students. He might even punish people like the teachers she’d seen in ancient times!
Uwaa, how scary!
But now, the strict brother looked a bit silly and so easy to bully, she even wanted to ruffle his hair.
[Ancient Martial System: If he’s not easy to bully, Gu Chi wouldn’t keep teasing him.]
The host didn’t react, but it observed everything clearly.
Mocking Gu Mo for getting lost, encouraging a girl focused on looks to ask for his contact, not telling him in advance about Miaomiao’s existence, all were teasing Gu Mo.
Tuanzi pondered.
Should she also mess with him a bit?
The assistant drove the car to Jiangshui.
Gu Rui and Gu Zheng’s families had already settled here. Gu Miaomiao’s family also had a house here.
Everyone got off the car one after another.
Before leaving, the assistant repeatedly reminded, "Gu, you only have three days off. Don’t indulge too much, no staying up late, no binge eating. After three days, there’s still an advertisement to shoot!"
Gu Che responded casually.
The assistant felt a bit helpless.
Seeing Tuanzi obediently standing next to Gu Che, he turned to admonish Tuanzi.
"Miaomiao, you have to watch over your second brother. If he relaxes too much at once, it’s not good for his health. Gu’s health is now your responsibility."
Tuanzi immediately felt a sense of responsibility.
"Don’t worry," she straightened her little back, "Miaomiao will watch him."
Only then did the assistant leave satisfied.
The next early morning, Tuanzi got up.
This villa had a yard, so Tuanzi directly ran to the yard to practice. After a while, she noticed someone running outside the door.
"Gu Mo brother! Gu Chi brother!"
She jumped up excitedly.
The two stopped their morning run, standing outside the low fence twined with roses, looking at her.
Gu Chi greeted with a smiling face, "Doing schoolwork so early?"
"Yes, yes."
She opened the gate, full of enthusiasm, "Miaomiao will go running with you."
Getting closer, she realized something was wrong.
"Gu Mo brother, what’s wrong with you?"
She looked in horror at Gu Mo in his black sportswear.
The young, handsome professor seemed like his soul was leaving his body, his body instinctively running alongside his younger brother, but his soul had long flown away.
Gu Chi smiled with curved eyes, "He’s not used to morning runs after a long time."
Pausing, Gu Chi suggested, "Why don’t we get your second brother down to run too? When actors film, their schedules often turn upside down. If the body isn’t healthy, it’s easy to get sick."
"Great idea! Miaomiao will call him to get up right away!"
Tuanzi rushed in like a gust of wind, Gu Chi followed leisurely behind, not forgetting to urge the spirit-losing Gu Mo.
"Bro, let’s wake Little Che together."
Gu Mo dizzily walked into the villa.
Gu Che was dreaming.
He dreamed of a family reunion with the five of them. Not only did he win many TV drama awards, but he also ventured into films, led by cousin Gu Peihai, finally winning a Best Actor award.
Now, he was giving a speech on stage, his family watching proudly below.
"Here, I want to thank..."
"Second brother, time to get up for a run!"
Gu Che suddenly woke up, opening his eyes to meet three pairs of eyes.
All three: stare.jpg
At that moment, his drowsiness vanished.
Gu Che sat up speechlessly.
Looking left and right, he accurately pinpointed the culprit.
"Gu Chi, you sure have a lot of free time recently!"
Gu Chi smiled, "A bit, but I’ve discovered a lot of interesting things."
Gu Che froze.
Tuanzi poked his arm, "Second brother, you look like a bristling black cat, ready to hiss."
Gu Che indeed sensed the danger, "..."
He could only get up, change clothes, and join the run.
Having exercised before, he adjusted well and even found time to chat with Gu Mo beside him.
"Second cousin, what are your research projects lately? Do they involve time travel?"
No response.
"Second cousin?"
Gu Che turned his head to find, with horror, Gu Mo zoning out.
"Seriously, if you don’t want to run, just refuse him!"
Gu Che helplessly continued, "Don’t let that smiling guy have his way!"
Gu Mo came back to his senses and adjusted his glasses.
"I’m not letting him have his way, exercising is right."
Gu Che: "..." Isn’t this a case of willing to endure willingly?
Tuanzi and Gu Chi had already left the two behind.
"Gu Chi brother, shall we race?"
Gu Chi: "You’re too good. How about this: if you can run a lap around the perimeter in five minutes, you win and can make one request. If you can’t, you’ll have to eat a plate of green vegetables later."
Tuanzi looked horrified, "Green vegetables?"
Gu Chi smiled, "Yes, and no Qinggong allowed. Miaomiao doesn’t like cheating, right?"
Tuanzi nodded instinctively.
"Alright, I’ll run with you and time it."
Gu Chi shouted ’start’, and Tuanzi began running with her tiny legs, running and running.
After running a long way, she realized she couldn’t see the initial scenery at all.
"Eh? Haven’t I arrived yet?"
She remembered the place she started running had a tall wall and a towering ginkgo tree, its golden leaves particularly beautiful.
Behind her, Gu Chi’s encouraging voice came, "Miaomiao, keep going, you’re almost there, don’t slack off!"
Tuanzi was instantly full of motivation.
"Miaomiao can surely succeed!"
She stretched her little legs and continued running, running, running.
After running for a long time, she stopped, confused.
"Something’s wrong, it’s been more than five minutes, did Miaomiao fail?"
She couldn’t believe it.
Just then, Gu Chi caught up, showing his sports watch, "It’s over five minutes."
Tuanzi held her face, shaking her little head, "How could this be? Miaomiao runs really fast."
[Ancient Martial System: But do you know how large this neighborhood is? Gu Chi’s tricking you.]
