Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 415: The Nervous Cousin

Tuanzi’s quick thinking made Professor Guo temporarily give up.

When he found out that his student and Tuanzi were cousins, his eyes lit up.

"Cousins, that’s great!"

Tuanzi tilted her head, "?"

Gu Zhuo understood, feeling a bit awkward, "Professor, I’ll go get the medicine."

"No need, no need, I’ll go myself. You two cousins have a good chat."

He probably felt that in the future he could study the Listening Wave Sword through his student, so Professor Guo’s steps became noticeably lighter.

He insisted on leaving his student behind and went to get the medicine himself, completely unaware that his student was very nervous at the moment.

"Chat? What should we talk about?"

Unexpectedly, the younger Tuanzi was more at ease, naturally starting a conversation topic.

Gu Zhuo became even more nervous.

Ji Zhangzhuo silently observed for a while and suggested, "I’ll go with your senior brother to get the medicine, and you two sit down and chat."

Tuanzi immediately chose a seat in the corridor and sat down, patting the seat next to her.

"Cousin, aren’t you going to sit?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Gu Zhuo silently sat down, thought for a while, and then awkwardly started, "I’ve watched your show, and you did really well."

While watching, he felt quite proud, and others around him also discussed his cousin. It’s just that he was too embarrassed to say that the impressive Little Heroine on the show was his cousin.

He didn’t even dare to give the prepared gift, and he didn’t feel qualified to publicly declare that Gu Miaomiao was his cousin.

Tuanzi, being more talkative, immediately leaned in with a smile, "Are you, like Chunting, silently following Miaomiao, but too shy to approach her?"

The pupils hidden behind the black-framed glasses trembled.

[Ancient Martial System: Why does it seem like your cousin is a bit nervous?]

Tuanzi looked carefully and noticed Gu Zhuo sitting straight and proper, with his hands resting on his knees, nervously grasping the fabric at the moment.

His skin was quite pale but calloused.

Tuanzi instinctively looked at his feet on the ground and then at her own dangling little legs, falling silent.

As she fell silent, the atmosphere became even more awkward.

[Ancient Martial System: Are you sure you don’t want to find a topic to chat about?]

Even as an outside observer, the system felt the awkwardness.

At this moment, they both heard a slightly trembling voice.

"Well, actually, I’ve always silently..."

Tuanzi turned her head in surprise, only to see her cousin’s ears had turned red. He was stammering, unable to finish his sentence.

This was the first time she’d encountered such a shy cousin.

Tuanzi instinctively reached out her little paw and poked his slightly red, hot ear.

Gu Zhuo was so startled he stood up immediately, and Tuanzi was also taken aback, quickly jumping off the chair, looking around cautiously.

"There are no enemies around!"

Gu Zhuo cleared his throat, "Uh, can I contact you in the future?"

Tuanzi blinked and nodded, "Don’t you have Miaomiao’s contact info?"

Previously at the Xie Family, in order to research the Listening Wave Sword again, Professor Guo exchanged contact information with them. To increase the chances of research, he exchanged contact info with all three siblings in one breath.

At that time, she noticed that Gu Zhuo quietly saved the contact info, too.

Gu Zhuo was startled again.

"You, you noticed that?"

"Of course, Miaomiao’s eyes are sharp."

The little paw proudly pointed to the corner of her eye.

Gu Zhuo seemed to want to smile, but he was too nervous, making his facial expression look somewhat strange.

Tuanzi took tiny steps, curiously poking his hand.

"Don’t be nervous, Miaomiao isn’t nervous, so what’s there to be nervous about?"

The repeated ’nervous’ words only made Gu Zhuo more nervous.

Looking up, Professor Guo was just coming around the corner, so he immediately said goodbye.

"I’ll first accompany the professor back, let’s chat another day."

"Alright, Miaomiao doesn’t have your contact info, so you’ll have to be the proactive one."

Tuanzi waved her little paw to say goodbye, feeling a bit worried.

[Miaomiao: Sigh, if he doesn’t dare to contact Miaomiao, then Miaomiao won’t be able to reach him.]

[Ancient Martial System: Ask your other cousin for his contact info.]

"Oh right."

Tuanzi belatedly rubbed her face, showing a somewhat goofy smile.

"Little Gu, you’re so clever."

"Who’s clever?"

A voice came from behind.

"Miaomiao, who are you talking to?"

Tuanzi turned around quickly, finding that Ji Zhangzhuo had somehow crept behind her, not knowing how long he had been eavesdropping.

Feeling nervous, she tugged at the hem of her clothes, carefully recalling what she had just accidentally blurted out.

She seemed to have only said a few words, and the rest were communicated in her mind.

"I was saying goodbye to Cousin!"

Tuanzi quickly steadied herself, her soft, fair, chubby little face filled with seriousness, "Cousin Gu Zhuo, Little Gu."

Ji Zhangzhuo found himself with no reason to refute. After all, he indeed heard the name ’Little Gu’.

"If you’re done chatting, let’s head back."

He didn’t ask further questions.

Having dodged a bullet, Tuanzi let out a sigh of relief and wiped her forehead.

The only one not too happy was the system.

There were several Ancient Martial Systems, but only it was dubbed ’Little Gu’ by the host.

However, the host didn’t intentionally steal this nickname.

Unable to blame the host, the system directed its annoyance towards Ji Zhangzhuo.

Don’t think it hadn’t noticed, this second senior brother had already noticed the host occasionally communicated with it, several times standing not far away sneakily listening in.

It’s just that speaking is instinctive; even if it reminded the host, she would sometimes still let it slip.

[Ancient Martial System: Hmph, being too curious is not a good thing.]

[Miaomiao: Ah, Little Gu, are you talking about Miaomiao?]

[Ancient Martial System: Not you.]

That night, Tuanzi went to complain to Gu Cheng.

Her little mouth babbled on about the director of "Antiques Have Words" and then about meeting Gu Zhuo.

"Oh wow, big brother, you didn’t see, Cousin was like a shy plant, poked and he’d turn shy."

She had a pot of shy plants that Gu Wangchao gave her in her room, which she would poke for fun.

Leaning in Gu Cheng’s embrace, Tuanzi played with her fingers.

"Miaomiao has never met someone like that."

Gu Cheng didn’t find it surprising.

"With each person in the world, there are that many types of personalities."

Even if the broader traits are similar, many small details differ, as everyone’s growth environment is unique. Some people with cold personalities exhibit emotional detachment equally to everyone, even within close relations, while others are just outwardly indifferent.

Tuanzi tilted her little head back, carefully recalling the people she had interacted with, then nodded seriously.

"Big brother, what you said makes sense."

"But more importantly," Gu Cheng’s expression turned colder, a certain fierceness entered his eyes, "that director dared to plot against you, either he’s lost his mind or is a fool."

Nowadays, who in the industry isn’t aware of the pile of brothers behind his sister? Before plotting against her, they surely consider the brothers’ reactions.

Some, having thoroughly considered, proceed with their schemes, calculating risks against potential gains, while others back out.

If that director went ahead, either in a desperate moment or arrogantly thinking these young people would grant him face, he was either short-sighted or stupid.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter."

Gu Cheng took the lead to say, "Since there aren’t any shows for now, do you want to attend a birthday party?"

Tuanzi instantly perked up, "Will there be birthday cake?"
