Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 460: The Clever Big Brother
Sour as it may be, when Tuanzi discovered that the second senior brother had sneaked away with lots of chicken while she wasn’t paying attention and got so mad that she meowed, a few cousins still helped her out.
Seeing the bowl piled high with chunks of chicken and beef, Tuanzi grinned from ear to ear.
Gu Li glanced at her smiling face and quickly lowered his head to eat before being noticed, pondering to himself how a little bear loves honey, and after getting it, would be just as sweet-looking as her smile.
After the meal, it was only natural that everyone had eaten too much.
Enthusiastically, Tuanzi dragged Gu Zhuo for a walk to aid digestion but secretly led him outside the yard to talk about Gu Li spying near the children’s play area.
"Does he actually like kids, or does he have something against them?"
Tuanzi puzzled while holding her head.
In fact, apart from this matter and Gu Li looking fierce, she didn’t find anything else unpleasant about this brother. They’ve only just started getting to know each other, so she couldn’t say she likes this relative much yet, but she also hopes he hasn’t done anything wrong.
She wishes to think positively. It’s just that Gu Li’s cousin’s actions and expressions were truly odd then!
Looking up, she found that Gu Zhuo also seemed to be concerned.
"It’s my fault," Gu Zhuo said guiltily, "I didn’t even notice he had this condition."
Though they are twins, they didn’t spend the most important childhood period together. They only started living under the same roof long-term after eighth grade.
In high school, they were at the same school but in different classes, so they only accompanied each other on the way to and from school. In college, they studied in different cities.
In their senior year of college, because he rebelled against their parents’ arrangements, his younger brother proactively reached out and chatted with him. During his postgraduate studies, he also actively came to Jiang City to visit him a few times.
Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
"Even as an elder brother, I wasn’t able to care more for him."
Tuanzi quickly comforted him.
Gu Zhuo wasn’t comforted, "I don’t even know what his favorite food is."
Tuanzi held her face, subconsciously asked, "Do your parents know?"
Gu Zhuo was stunned, speaking of which, it seemed like their parents didn’t know his younger brother’s preferences either, nor did they know his. Of course, it was also because they never spoke up.
No, he had mentioned it in his childhood, but he was criticized for being picky by his parents, so he just stopped talking about it.
"See," Tuanzi quickly counseled, "You all don’t know, so it’s not just your responsibility. You all have plenty of time to gradually understand."
After thinking for a while, just having the older brother understand the younger isn’t fair, so she added, "Mutual understanding, he can also get to know you."
Gu Zhuo’s eyes lit up.
"Then I’ll make sure we get to know each other on the way back later," he made a fist in one hand, "I will do my best."
When facing his parents, he still felt uneasy. He tried hard to communicate, but the outcome was not good. However, he still has a younger brother, and he wants to give it another shot.
Seeing him muster up the courage, Tuanzi nodded in satisfaction, feeling proud of herself for coming up with a good idea.
[Miaomiao: I’m really a little genius]
[Ancient Martial System: But you still don’t know why he does that]
Tuanzi froze.
She quietly glanced at her cousin, noticing he was still encouraging himself, so she swallowed back her doubt. She didn’t want to disturb her cousin at this moment and even optimistically thought, once the two cousins get to know each other, she would be able to get the answer from Gu Zhuo.
No rush, no rush.
Although she said there was no rush, being someone with a strong curiosity, once Gu Cheng returned home, Tuanzi couldn’t help but run over to ask him.
Gu Cheng: "..." He couldn’t dare to imagine such a scene.
However, he had met Gu Li once before. Although this cousin’s expression was fierce, his manners were polite, unlike the kind of person with bad intentions.
If he’s not that kind of person, then his actions should be analyzed from another perspective.
"Does he study in the Chinese literary department? Is it possible he’s looking for writing material?"
Tuanzi blinked.
"What is the Chinese literary department? And what does material mean?"
The little one only knew the term ’writing.’
She had once hidden from her master with tears pattering down as she wrote, condemning her master for stealing her pine nut candy. More specifically, she drew pine nut candy on paper, then drew a wooden figure and wrote "Master is bad," and used a writing brush to beat the wooden figure.
Gu Cheng explained in detail, "Regardless of whether his research direction is in ancient literature or modern and contemporary literature or otherwise, he would certainly do a lot of reading and writing. Looking for writing material is quite normal."
Tuanzi still couldn’t understand.
"What does writing an article have to do with secretly observing children? Surely he’s not writing stories about kids?"
"Children’s literature." Gu Cheng blurted out.
After saying that, this usually serious and steady director couldn’t help but show a strange expression.
"It should not be, right?"
He found it hard to imagine someone with a muscular build and fierce disposition studying children’s literature.
However, he quickly pushed this shock out of his mind.
"One shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. His looks and demeanor have nothing to do with what he enjoys doing."
This time, Tuanzi understood and even excitedly hugged Gu Cheng’s arm.
"He can write stories? So Miaomiao can pester him to write stories every day?"
Her elder brother had bought her many books and subscribed to many magazines, but she wasn’t interested in most of them. Many of the stories had an educational purpose. She didn’t dislike being educated but found those stories too stiff and hard to digest. She preferred stories that subtly imparted lessons.
Gu Cheng opened his mouth, unsure what to say for a moment.
Even if his guess were accurate and Gu Li did enjoy children’s literature, every creator would still dread being urged to write more, right?
It’s bearable through the internet, but constantly urging someone in real life, when they keep meeting face-to-face, would be too dreadful.
He immediately cautioned his sister not to be overly eager and scare Gu Li away.
"Okay, okay, Miaomiao knows, not too much, just occasionally urge," Tuanzi said enthusiastically, ready to give it a try, "Still don’t know how well he writes, Miaomiao wants to see it first."
Thinking of this, she regretfully patted her little head, "Oh no, Miaomiao didn’t get his contact information."
"No rush, wait until your work ends to get in touch," Gu Cheng reminded her, "You have another program to film tomorrow, get some rest early. I have time tomorrow, I’ll drop you off."
The new stop for the show was in a bustling area of Jiang City, which also made it convenient for Gu Cheng to pick up and drop off his sister.
He had a feeling that when his sister starts school in the future, he would be doing the same pick-up and drop-off routine.
On the other side.
Gu Zhuo and his brother took the subway home, and with so many people on the train, Gu Zhuo, who usually kept quiet in crowded places, waited until they got back to their rental apartment.
He brewed two cups of milk, offering one seriously to his younger brother.
"Little Li, I... I have something very important to ask you." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Gu Li’s eyes flickered when he saw the hot milk.
"What is it?"
"Do you... do you..." Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and decided to approach gradually, "Do you have a favorite food?"
Gu Li: "... You might as well directly ask if I like milk."
Gu Zhuo: "?"
He hadn’t reacted yet when he saw his brother take a cup and down it in one gulp before setting the cup down and heading towards his room.
