Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 262: The Three Siblings

Gu Che finally finished recording a TV station’s New Year’s Eve show, planning to go home early to prepare for his sister’s birthday party, only to be called back by the director for reshoots.

This was part of his duties, and the show was waiting for editing approval to go online, which made Gu Che a bit anxious. Still, he cooperated and spent almost a whole day reshooting all necessary scenes, even throwing a disdainful glance at Shan Fengxing who was also there for reshoots, before rushing back to Jiang City.

All excitement turned into restraint at the front door.

Making sure he maintained a cool and stylish demeanor, Gu Che pushed open the door, coming face to face with two pairs of eyes.

"Is this a welcome back for me?" Gu Che was a bit unsure, "At the very least, you should smile, right?"

He glanced at Tuanzi’s little poker face, "The eldest brother always has a cold face, but you, the cheerful one, should smile, right? Come on, smile."

Tuanzi instinctively smiled.

Tuanzi: (*￣︶￣)

"Wait," a few seconds later, Tuanzi snapped out of it, shook her little head, and pushed forward with her small chubby paw, "Second brother, don’t confuse Miaomiao, Miaomiao has something to ask you."

Gu Che placed the suitcase in the hallway, changed his shoes, and leisurely walked over. After sitting down, the first thing he did was pinch his sister’s chubby cheeks.

Just like before, not gaining or losing weight.

"Stop pinching," the little baby voice was a bit muffled, "You didn’t wash your hands, you’ll make Miaomiao’s face dirty."

Gu Che paused, looking at his sister in disbelief.

"You never minded these things before, have you been spending too much time with Qize?"

Tuanzi muttered, "Keep clean, stay healthy, you understand?"

Gu Che could only get up to wash his hands. As he stood up, Tuanzi suddenly pulled hard, making him sit back down.

His sister’s strength was surprisingly strong, leaving Gu Che a bit bewildered.

At this point, he heard his sister’s sweet baby voice in his ear.

After listening, he blinked, then blinked again.

Tuanzi suspiciously stared at him, "Oh dear, you’re feeling guilty?"

Gu Cheng sat with his arms folded, posture upright, completely different from the half-reclining Gu Che.

"Blinking too frequently, feeling guilty," he declared, showing disapproval, "You didn’t mention cousin contacting you, but did you remember to reply to him?"

"I replied!"

Gu Che had already sorted through his memory.

"I didn’t intentionally not mention it."

Afraid of being reprimanded by his sister, he quickly explained, "He must’ve contacted me when I was holding a concert, and I was still reacting, thinking why cousin would have my contact information."

Si Huai was truly busy, the message he sent was very brief. He expressed his welcome for his cousin’s return, mentioned that he and Gu Jin were particularly busy and probably wouldn’t have time to meet until the Spring Festival, and sent a red envelope as well.

"I accepted the red envelope at the time and told him I would definitely inform Miaomiao."

Under the scrutinizing eyes of his older brother and sister, his voice grew softer.

"I forgot because I was busy."

During the concert preparation, he was so busy he barely had time to rest. His and the team’s standards for performance were high; sometimes he practiced to the point of falling asleep in the studio.

As he spoke, Gu Che lowered his head.

"Alright, alright, I didn’t mean to blame you."

Tuanzi also recalled the scene she had seen earlier, and with a heart full of compassion, she rubbed his head.

"Miaomiao appreciates his intention and sees second brother’s hard work, anyway, there’s still a chance to meet during the Spring Festival."

Gu Che felt better, he looked up quickly and glanced at Gu Cheng.

The young director sighed, "Give me cousin’s contact details, I’ll leave him a message to contact me in the future."

He explained, "You’re busier than me, so I should handle the communication with him."

"Sometimes you’re busier than me, aren’t you?"

Gu Che complained as he pushed the electronic name card to Gu Cheng, "Who was it that was too busy to come home before?"

"That won’t happen anymore."

Compared to before, Gu Cheng was more open, and meeting his brother’s surprised gaze, he said plainly, "Good works need careful crafting, and I haven’t found a screenplay that satisfies me yet, so I temporarily won’t be directing a new film."

Since he wasn’t planning to shoot any new projects for now, he only needed to occasionally participate in some variety shows, offering guidance to actors as a director, or perhaps returning to school to teach students, leaving plenty of time to accompany his sister and carefully select his brother’s work.

Gu Peihai, as a boss, was very busy, unable to manage everything. Manager Jin Tong was very responsible, but after all, he was motivated by fame and fortune, and sometimes might overlook his brother’s mental and physical state, especially since his brother was quite popular and facing a mountain of work.

Understanding the implicit meaning, Gu Che turned his head away, avoiding eye contact with him.

"But there’s no need to sacrifice so much. You’ve won two international awards and received numerous offers; isn’t now the best time to attract investments?"

Directors fear lacking investment for their films. Some can accept many things for the sake of investment, including allowing the investors to cast actors with poor acting skills.

"It’s not a sacrifice; it’s the result of my thorough contemplation."

Gu Cheng had made this plan after considering various aspects, "If during this period I find a suitable screenplay, I might start working earlier; you don’t need to feel pressured."

Here we go again, the straightforwardness of the eldest brother is simply... Gu Che turned his head and ’hum’d.

At this moment, he heard his sister speaking in what she thought was a soft voice.

"Big brother, look, second brother’s ears turned red again; his ears really love to turn red!"

"Perhaps that’s why he’s so popular now."

"Oh wow, big brother, you can joke now? Miaomiao must take a photo for memories!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Che turned his head, grabbed a pillow and threw it, only for his sister to catch it steadily.

Tuanzi caught the pillow, her eyes lit up.

"A pillow fight game? Miaomiao wants to play!"

She vigorously tossed the pillow back, hitting Gu Che squarely in the face, causing him to fall back onto the sofa and not move.

"Second brother?"

Tuanzi was startled, quickly crawled over, intending to grab Gu Che’s shoulder and shake him, but he pinned her down and started tickling her.

"Hahaha!"

"Second brother, you... Hahaha, Miaomiao wants to play too!"

Now it was Gu Che’s turn to ’hahaha’.

After several rounds, they exchanged glances and suddenly turned to look at Gu Cheng sitting on the other side, simultaneously letting out a ’hee hee’.

Gu Cheng: "?"

The siblings pounced, one grabbed Gu Cheng’s neck, "Second brother, quick, I’ve got big brother controlled!"

The other started tickling.

Gu Cheng was speechless, unable to directly push them away.

The commotion continued until Gu Che’s stomach growled, prompting the disheveled Gu Cheng to stand up and head to the kitchen.

The remaining two began to lounge idly.

Tuanzi lay for a while, then suddenly rolled like a ball towards Gu Che, hugging his arm tightly.

"Second brother, Miaomiao is really curious, why do you never mention relatives from our grandparents’ side?"

She had been curious ever since coming back and had held it in until now.
