Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 259: Complementary Personalities

Jiangshui.

The courtyard, neither too big nor too small, had just enough space cleared out, with several wooden stakes specially set up for practice. Ten centimeters below the top, there was a horizontal log tied across.

The heights of the stakes gradually increased.

The height of the first stake was just right for Gu Miaomiao.

It was already winter, and the weather was getting colder. The morning wind carried a chilling sharpness, but unlike before, Tuanzi wasn’t wrapped up round and plump. She’d simply changed into thicker martial arts gear.

At this moment, with a little stern face, her big watery eyes were fixed on the stake in front of her as if staring at her enemy. Suddenly, she moved, and her small hands swiftly struck the stakes, her speed increasing rapidly, soon leaving only afterimages.

The stakes occasionally made a ’creak creak’ sound.

The system observed for a while.

[Ancient Martial System: You seem overly excited, you’re reaching the effect of using Inner Strength without even using it]

[Miaomiao: Not at all, if I were using Inner Strength, these stakes would have been shattered into pieces long ago]

Tuanzi pouted unsatisfied. She was already holding back.

Though she said so, her speed was getting faster and faster.

This batch of stakes, replaced not long ago, would probably soon break into bits.

After finishing the palm force practice, she flew up, her toes tapped on the stakes, stepping through them, landing on the top of the tallest one.

Half a second later, those little short legs began swiftly kicking the tallest stake.

The system affirmed once more that the host was indeed very excited today. The reason being her birthday was approaching, and this time family would accompany her to celebrate.

After completing a full set, Tuanzi gracefully landed and picked up a towel hung nearby to wipe her forehead.

"So cold."

The towel left in the cold wind had absorbed quite a lot of chill.

Mumbling to herself, she headed towards the front door. Noticing a gaze, she turned to look at the courtyard gate and found a tall man standing outside, looking genteel and handsome, with an elegant demeanor. He was watching her through his frameless glasses.

"Gu Mo brother, you’re back?"

Tuanzi joyfully, like a little white rabbit, hopped to the door, opened the courtyard gate, her eyes almost glued to the packed bag.

Gu Mo walked in, holding breakfast in one hand and desserts in the other.

The young professor smiled lightly, "I arrived half an hour ago. Little Chi said you should be practicing at home now, and haven’t had breakfast yet."

"Yep, yep," Tuanzi rubbed her little hands, her gaze never drifting from the dessert bag, "Big Brother left for something urgently, said he’d be back soon and would bring breakfast."

With that, she rushed into the house.

"Miaomiao should call him, no need to buy breakfast."

After contacting Gu Cheng, Tuanzi swiftly washed her hands and happily ran to the dining room, climbed up onto a chair, and sat down.

By now, Gu Mo had already placed the breakfast and desserts on the table.

Without thinking, Tuanzi reached out her small paw to grab the caramel pudding, not even glancing at the steamed buns.

[Ancient Martial System: Eat breakfast first]

[Miaomiao: I am eating breakfast]

The little girl grinned cunningly.

[Miaomiao: Anything that fills the stomach is breakfast]

The system could only hope Gu Mo, the brother, would stop the host, but upon looking, found Gu Mo also chose to start with the dessert.

Noticing his sister’s gaze, Gu Mo explained, "I came back directly from the plane and haven’t eaten yet."

"Eat, eat, there’s plenty for us to eat."

Tuanzi happily raised her small spoon, ready to enjoy the caramel pudding.

The system was anxious; what was up with this Gu Mo, not leading by example in eating a proper breakfast?

Little did anyone know, if Gu Mo had to choose, he’d definitely choose dessert first, too. Liking to eat, wanting to eat, and anything that fills the stomach — that’s breakfast.

Just then, Gu Mo’s phone rang.

He picked it up, puzzled, to see that "Little Chi" was calling.

Tuanzi suddenly had a bad premonition, and seizing the moment while Gu Mo answered the phone, she quickly lowered her head, scooped a spoonful of caramel pudding, and stuffed it in her mouth, instantly squeezing her eyes shut in delight.

"Alright, I got it."

Gu Mo’s tone was somewhat wilted.

After hanging up, he reluctantly pushed his matcha cheesecake aside.

"Little Chi said we must finish breakfast first before eating these."

No sooner had he spoken than he found his sister had already swiftly solved a caramel pudding and was now tilting her little head with an innocent grin.

"Alright then, let’s eat the steamed buns and shumai first."

Gu Mo: "... you’re so sly."

"The quickest mouth is the winner."

Tuanzi moved a portion of steamed buns over, opened the vinegar packet, and began happily dipping and eating the buns.

Perhaps feeling a bit resentful from being outdone by his sister, Gu Mo muttered, "Anything that fills the stomach is breakfast, yet Little Chi says only these are breakfast. It’s unfair."

"Exactly, exactly."

Tuanzi bit into the bun, feeling united in their plight.

"Big Brother always says the same thing."

Her eyes darted around, and Tuanzi suddenly leaned over the table, trying to approach Gu Mo.

She tempted him, "Anyway, it’s just you and me here. We can secretly eat; Gu Chi brother won’t know. He doesn’t have telescopic eyes and keen ears."

Gu Mo was instantly tempted.

The siblings conspiringly reeled the desserts back to their sides.

At this moment, their phones rang simultaneously, opening them to see Gu Chi had sent them both a text.

[Eat well^_^]

They both stared at the smiling symbol and shivered slightly.

"I feel like right now," Tuanzi curled her neck, glancing around, "Gu Chi brother is standing beside us, smiling at us."

Gu Mo deeply agreed, once again pushing the desserts aside.

The both timidly finished breakfast and then ate some desserts.

The system couldn’t help but sigh; Gu Chi really had these two under his thumb.

With Gu Cheng still out, Gu Mo invited Tuanzi to visit their house.

"Sure."

Tuanzi eagerly put her small hand into his palm, and when Gu Mo looked down, she said confidently, "A brother must hold his sister’s hand, or else Miaomiao is so cute, someone might take her away."

"Makes sense." Gu Mo believed it.

[Ancient Martial System: He is too easily fooled] With the host’s skill set, it wouldn’t be easy to abduct her.

Tuanzi found it completely normal.

[Miaomiao: I’ve observed that most family members’ personalities complement each other]

She listed several examples.

For instance, in Gu Qize’s family, after the upheaval, the father became stern, liking to control the children; the brother turned into a machine, and the younger brother developed a rebellious streak, going to the opposite extreme.

Gu Mo’s family was similar; Gu Mo was a genius, early focusing on research, not interacting much with the outside world, and thus his character was somewhat naïve; while his brother had long seen the treachery of human nature, started masking himself, and became cunning.

The little head bobbed up and down.

[Miaomiao: A crafty fox having a naïve brother is perfectly normal]

[Ancient Martial System: What about your family, neither of your brothers is greedy, so there’s a sister who likes to eat?]

Tuanzi: (〃＞皿＜)
