Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Little Dummy
Liang Qiyun stood at a height of four or five stories. Falling wouldn’t cause too severe injuries.
But Director Wang knew this top actress’s personality too well. As soon as he spotted this scene from afar, his mind flashed with worry over her injuries and concerns that she would buy publicity to hype up the show.
At that moment, a shadow swooshed to Liang Qiyun’s side, grabbed her clothing, and steadily placed her on the ground.
Liang Qiyun blinked, looking at the Little Douding before her.
Tuanzi also blinked, "Aren’t you going to say thank you?"
She helped without expecting gratitude. Helping was just helping, she didn’t seek return.
But this aunt was special; she didn’t like this aunt, yet she couldn’t bear seeing anyone get hurt in front of her. So, she saved her, got thanked, and squared it away.
Tuanzi eagerly looked at her.
Gu Chi was picking apples under the tree next door.
Everything happened so fast that by the time he noticed, his little sister had rescued someone and was eagerly waiting for gratitude.
Liang Qiyun was still in a daze.
After a few seconds, she squeezed out a sentence, "Thank you, you scared your sister."
Large eyes watched her intently.
Faced with a pair of clean, clear eyes, those malignant thoughts in her heart seemed to be extracted and exposed to the sunlight.
Liang Qiyun felt uneasy and irritated.
Was she afraid of a child?
"Almost got hurt, the show crew should arrange someone to hold on."
Liang Qiyun shifted the topic, "Take me as a lesson, so that others won’t get hurt."
Tuanzi withdrew her gaze. Although this aunt was pretty, she still didn’t like her.
She strolled over to the ladder, "Auntie, you don’t know how to use it, everyone is busy now, so Miaomiao will take the ladder away."
Liang Qiyun’s pupils trembled.
"Auntie?"
Tuanzi turned her back to chuckle.
Master was right. Facing someone you dislike, calling them older makes you feel very happy. Master is so smart. As a disciple of Master, she is also very smart!
She tried to grab the ladder, then used her Inner Strength to lift it.
But sadly, her little paws were too small, couldn’t hold it tight.
Tuanzi started to gather her strength.
At that moment, a pair of slender hands reached over, directly lifted the ladder.
"Brother Gu Chi?"
The young painter gazed down at her.
"Where to move it?"
"Over there," Tuanzi pointed in a direction, "Uncle Hanjiang wants to use it, he picked a lot."
Leaving from here, Tuanzi turned back to smile at Liang Qiyun, "Auntie, we’re a team. Uncle Hanjiang is quite skillful, let him use it first, alright? Once we confirm we can win, Miaomiao will move the ladder back to you to play with."
Liang Qiyun laughed angrily.
Before she could say anything, Gu Chi, standing next to Tuanzi, suddenly raised his eyes to look at her.
"!"
Liang Qiyun instinctively took a step back.
What was that gaze, so terrifying? Clearly, he was still smiling earlier, yet now he looked like a demon staring at her.
Liang Qiyun’s first reaction was to look for the camera.
However, the camera was directed at her, not capturing Gu Chi’s expression.
"Let’s go."
Gu Chi said casually, leading his little sister towards Su Hanjiang.
Tuanzi sneaked a peek.
"Brother Gu Chi, are you not happy?"
"Not at all," the man with delicate features smiled, "Miaomiao is helpful, a good kid, I’m delighted."
Again, with that sarcastic tone.
Tuanzi shrank her neck, not daring to rile him further.
After delivering the ladder to Su Hanjiang’s side, Gu Chi was ready to return to picking, but a little hand clasped his slightly curled fingers.
Upon looking down, his little sister sneakily placed her small paw in his palm, pretending to be held by him.
"What are you doing?"
Tuanzi looked up and smiled: "Holding hands. Brother Gu Chi, let’s pick apples on Miaomiao’s side, Miaomiao has a gift for you."
The feeling of vexation and agitation gradually dissipated.
Gu Chi lifted his other hand, and flicked Tuanzi’s forehead, "Little dummy."
A little dummy who helps everyone.
In this world, some people aren’t worth helping.
Her black, glossy eyes immediately widened.
"No way! Miaomiao is Big Smart!"
In other matters, she could concede, but not this one.
Tuanzi gave an example, "Miaomiao is even smarter than Brother Pei Hai!"
Gu Chi laughed: "Back when he was studying, he was often first in his grade. Are you first in your grade?"
Tuanzi: (〃＞皿＜)
"Darn, Miaomiao isn’t old enough for school yet. Once Miaomiao starts primary school, she’ll definitely be number one!"
"Oh?"
Tuanzi fumed: "Really! You’re Miaomiao’s favored brother, doubting Miaomiao will make her very sad!"
It was Gu Chi’s turn to pause.
Perhaps scared by her straightforward words, Gu Chi kept quiet the entire way without mocking.
Upon reaching the destination, Tuanzi dashed to the bamboo basket, selecting a large, bright red apple.
She quickly ran back, holding it up like a treasure.
"For you! The best apple is for you!"
Gu Chi steadily looked at her.
"Catch it?"
Tuanzi urged: "Hurry hurry, we’re still in a competition."
Gu Chi took it, thought for a moment, then handed the apple to Gu Peihai’s assistant waiting at the edge.
"Help me keep it, even if Brother Pei Hai asks, don’t give it to him."
The assistant quickly nodded.
He had no intention of getting involved in a family battle.
Tuanzi continued to cheerfully pick apples.
"We are all apple picking girls!"
She hummed a little tune, then began listing the names of skewers.
After listing them, she cheerily reminded Director Wang not far away, "Director uncle, these are what Miaomiao wants to eat, grill them well later!"
Director Wang was exasperated: "The competition isn’t over yet, the outcome is still undecided!"
Tuanzi trotted over with a smile, picking up two apples he had picked.
"These are wages, right?"
Director Wang paused, sizing up the smiling little girl.
Though she hadn’t said it outright, he understood.
This was the reward for resolving the Liang Qiyun crisis.
Could a little girl be this understanding? Or had Gu Peihai anticipated Liang Qiyun’s antics and instructed his sister to help the show crew?
Mr. Gu is a good person!
Director Wang was somewhat moved.
"Take a few more, consider them gifts from your uncle to you."
Tuanzi simply grabbed the whole basket, "Just give them all to Miaomiao, you didn’t pick much anyway."
Director Wang: "... Go on, get going."
Tuanzi dashed off with the basket, returned shortly to hand back the empty basket.
At this time, Director Wang earnestly thanked Gu Peihai.
Gu Peihai: "?"
He wasn’t quite sure why, but a proffered thank you wasn’t to be refused.
"How about Director Wang gives me a few apples as a thank you gift?" he asked cheekily.
Director Wang: "... They’re definitely siblings!"
Tuanzi wandered back to continue picking.
[Ancient Martial System: ...]
[Miaomiao: Little Gu, are you speaking?]
[Ancient Martial System: No... some humans are foolish]
[Miaomiao: ?]
The system stifled its frustration.
Clearly, it had reminded the host and analyzed the pros and cons, resulting in the director mistakenly thinking the instruction came from Gu Peihai.
[Miaomiao: Oh, thank you, Little Gu]
Saving people was instinctual for her, but upon landing, it was the system’s alert that warned her to be cautious of Liang Qiyun’s antics.
[Miaomiao: You’ve always helped Miaomiao, yes, you’re Miaomiao’s best friend!]
[Ancient Martial System: ... Hurry up and work]
This host was much smarter than that bald uncle, deserving indeed of being the host.
