Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 292: Leaving the Entertainment Industry
Si Huai is good at reading people. He understands microexpressions well; after all, without this skill, it would be tough to hold an advantage during interrogations.
Glancing at his nervous cousin, he made a guess and, upon thinking of Gu Cheng, he found someone to ask.
"I heard your first stop is at Hu City?"
Hu City is where he used to work.
"Yeah, what’s up?"
"I heard that poaching cases are frequent in Hu City recently. No matter which mountain you go to, remember to protect yourself."
Tuanzi immediately nodded, "I will protect myself and also protect my second brother!"
Just then, someone called out ’Captain Si.’
Si Huai lowered his eyes and said to her, "Sorry, I need to get busy."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Tuanzi waved her hand, her big eyes fixed on him.
Si Huai paused his steps, raised his hand, and rubbed her little head.
Tuanzi immediately rubbed against him like a cat being stroked.
There was a soft laugh from above her head, and when she came to her senses, Si Huai had already pulled his hand back and left.
Jiangshui.
When they got home, Gu Cheng had already made dinner.
Though not interested in possessions, Duan Xiayou was still very eager when it came to good food.
At the dinner table, Gu Cheng routinely asked his sister if anything special happened when she went out.
"Did anyone crowd around you?" He despises people who gather without considering the occasion.
Before, he had witnessed people crowding around his brother, almost causing him harm, and let’s not even talk about those who chase after cars without any boundaries.
What he hates most is car chases.
"No!"
Tuanzi answered quickly, "My senior brother was surrounded, but Miaomiao cleverly escaped, hahaha!"
Gu Cheng asked again, not feeling assured, "And nothing special happened?"
"Nope!" Tuanzi shook her head honestly.
Gu Cheng felt relieved. However, later that night, he saw on trending searches that his sister and Duan Xiayou were there, showing up because Duan Xiayou did good deeds and his sister was watching.
Nowadays, the internet jokingly calls them ’Fugitive Slayers.’
"What an unpleasant name?"
Soon, it was training day.
This day was both the training day for "Mountain Patrol Journey" and the day for guests to meet in advance and the day for the program group’s live broadcast announcement.
The first stop was Hu City, so they came to Hu City for training. The forestry bureau in Hu City was also the organizer of this program.
Early in the morning, Tuanzi was waiting in the hotel.
"Training is about to start, and second brother hasn’t come to meet me yet."
She anxiously stared at the doorway, waiting for the doorbell to ring.
"Was he delayed by something?"
She took out her phone and hesitated whether to call.
"Senior brother, what do you think?"
No one responded, and when she turned her head, she found Duan Xiayou, who had just woken up, asleep against the pillow, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his face.
Tuanzi blinked, suddenly showing a mischievous smile and quietly approached.
"I haven’t poked him before."
She stretched out a finger and poked Duan Xiayou’s cheek, but he didn’t react.
"Senior brother really lacks alertness."
Poking wasn’t enough; she even pinched.
"There’s not much meat either."
Tuanzi started to miss the chubby cheeks of her little friends.
They all have baby fat, making their cheeks plump and fun to pinch, and her little cheeks are fun to pinch too.
"Why not draw?"
She went to find a pen, but when she came back, there was no one on the sofa.
"Hey? Where is he?"
Not in the living room, not in the room, not in the kitchen.
Tuanzi searched around the suite but couldn’t find him and was shocked.
"Did senior brother go back again?"
She held her face in horror, "No way!"
The system couldn’t stand it anymore.
[Ancient Martial System: He’s outside his window, sleeping against the wall.]
Tuanzi quickly ran over, stood on a stool, and poked her head out, indeed seeing her senior brother sleeping against the wall.
"So you weren’t sleeping just now."
Upon hearing her words, he didn’t want to be drawn, so he ran outside to hide, but they were on the twenty-something floor, didn’t senior brother fear heights?
[Ancient Martial System: It’s not about the heights. It’s an office building across. If someone saw, it would not be good.]
Tuanzi hurriedly pulled him in and quickly closed the window.
The opposite office building.
A man in a suit rubbed his eyes, "Did I see it wrong? Was someone hanging outside the twentieth floor?"
When he looked again, the person was gone.
"I must be too tired and seeing things. Better take a day off."
Tuanzi finally waited for Gu Che.
This young top-tier celebrity quickly changed clothes at the hotel and then got into a car driven by his assistant, heading to the forestry bureau’s arranged study room.
Tuanzi glanced at Sun, who was driving, then at the female assistant Xu Min, who came along, tilting her head.
"You guys are together, aren’t you?"
"Eh?" It was Gu Che who was surprised, and the two assistants who were shy.
"Miaomiao, how did you see that?"
Sun has always been with him, while Xu Min is her brother’s life assistant. Generally, Xu Min only appears when her brother is participating in a program, occasionally helping him, but not very frequently.
"Well," Tuanzi gestured at her eyes, "Haven’t you ever eaten sticky rice lotus root? When you eat it, the lotus root pulls threads, just like the way they look at each other."
Gu Che: "..." What a magical yet fitting description by his sister?
He was just surprised, seeing the two assistants looking at him nervously, he said helplessly, "As long as it doesn’t affect work, whether you date is your business. If you guys get married, I’ll give a red envelope."
The two assistants breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Min still awkwardly said, "Because I heard some artists don’t allow their assistants to date, so I was worried."
She was okay, mainly following Gu Miaomiao, but her boyfriend followed Gu Che, inevitably being affected.
"Oh, you mean that," Gu Che shrugged, "Because there were incidents before. Assistants succumbed to their lovers’ curiosity and said things they shouldn’t have. That outsider then went out and spread it, and it affected the artist’s career."
People oppose not the dating but worry the assistant loses professional integrity influenced by pillow talk.
Gu Che suddenly thought of something, pulled his sister who was teasing the sleeping Duan Xiayou closer.
"I see you and Yi Kai are close, so I should tell you this too."
Tuanzi looked confused, "Huh?"
"Yi Heng has left the circle."
Tuanzi blinked, blinked again, "Are you talking about the big puppet?"
Gu Che: "Puppet? Oh, you mean his father’s control over him? He’s quite like a puppet."
This matter traces back to Yi Kai leaving with grandfather, while Yi Fei tried to hype up rumors between Yi Heng and Ai Jie.
With his son not cooperating, Yi Fei halted Yi Heng’s resources, confident that this son, who had tasted glory, couldn’t endure and would ultimately return with his tail between his legs, obediently becoming a money-making tool.
Many who heard about it came to mock Yi Heng, while some, like Gu Ran and Ai Jie, helped by introducing resources.
Even Gu Che knew about it and, after discussing it with Gu Peihai, helped by introducing a resource.
Regardless of Yi Heng’s past behavior, during the show’s period, he was undoubtedly a hardworking person without complaints.
No dramas to film, no shows to appear on, not even commercial performances; it was akin to being shelved. Many people faded into obscurity this way.
Everyone formed bonds on the show and didn’t want Yi Heng to fall to such a state.
As a result, the wavering Yi Heng, who was always searching for an anchor, simply left the circle.
He was retaliating against Yi Fei, yet it was as if he had finally broken free from the shackles placed upon him since birth.
