Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 469: My Eyes Are Bigger Than Yours

According to the elders, the emotional changes between the brothers Gu Mo and Gu Chi are quite noticeable.

Gu Mo was a renowned child prodigy, skipping grades in school, and although there wasn’t a large age gap between him and his younger brother, they never experienced going to and from school together.

The subjects Gu Mo studied were not interesting to Gu Chi.

In contrast, Gu Chi barely scored in the middle range and couldn’t get into a good school, later taking the path of an art student. At that time, the brothers rarely communicated, especially when Gu Chi first entered high school; he was a cold, aloof school idol, and he wore a stern face even at home.

Later, after an incident where both brothers got injured and Gu Chi transferred schools, he changed completely, often wearing a smile as warm as a spring breeze. Although initially cold and soft-hearted, with difficulty refusing people, he later was able to smile while rejecting many. He even began playing pranks, mainly targeting Gu Mo at first, then cousin Miaomiao, and later other cousins.

As someone who occasionally pulled pranks, Tuanzi and Gu Chi had a love-hate sibling relationship; sometimes they fooled each other, and other times they teamed up to prank others.

Therefore, Tuanzi held quite a bit of dirt on Gu Chi.

Usually, she never mentioned it, but at critical moments, like now, she would try to strike accurately—a skill her master taught her.

Faced with a cheekily boastful Tuanzi, Gu Chi pinched her chubby cheek and lightly countered, "Whose stomach did those chocolate balls end up in?"

Tuanzi froze. She forgot that while she held dirt on Gu Chi, he naturally knew what she had done too.

The triumphant little fox immediately drooped her fluffy tail.

Gu Chi teasingly stretched his tone, "Speaking of which, that day someone even sneakily had an extra soda, claiming they needed to clean their teeth so they wouldn’t be found out. Who was being sneaky?"

Tuanzi quickly stuck out her little paw to cover his mouth, blinking hard, seemingly saying, ’If Miaomiao forgave you, then you should also forgive Miaomiao.’

If threats wouldn’t work, then she had to resort to persuasion.

Tuanzi promised many conditions before Gu Chi finally agreed not to tell Gu Cheng about today’s incident.

Only then did the little girl happily continue circling around her second brother, even imagining slurping noodles together starting next week.

Gu Li glanced at her several times, thinking, the little guest’s daily allowance is too little, but as the customer, he could buy as much as he wanted. If he bought more than he could eat, giving it to the little guest wouldn’t be considered intentional, right?

After a while, Duan Xiayou and Ji Zhangzhuo returned, bringing back a lot of groceries.

Tuanzi cheerfully poked a fish, "Let’s cook together later."

She loved cooking with everyone, and most of all, she loved eating.

In the kitchen, everyone squeezed in to prepare the ingredients.

Gu Li was assigned the task of peeling potatoes.

He clumsily peeled slowly, sneaking glances at others. He had never experienced preparing meals with family.

He lived with his grandparents as a child. While he thought of helping, his grandmother always exaggeratedly said things he didn’t like.

Such as ’Your parents gave us so much money; how could we let their son work?’ or ’Your parents are so great, you’re a young master, just wait to be served,’ or ’Oh, let’s not trouble the little young master with such small tasks.’

As a child, he didn’t understand and only found these words odd, creating a sense of estrangement between his grandparents and his family.

At that time, living under his grandparents’ care were also his little uncle’s two children, whom his grandparents favored more, while he was left to his own devices. He spent most of his childhood alone, but after returning to his parents, they always blamed his behavior on his grandparents spoiling him when he did things they disapproved of.

He wasn’t spoiled, just ignored. His parents couldn’t understand, and his twin brother was too meek.

Lost in thought, he didn’t notice the knife nearing the hand holding the potato.

With a "pop," a small hand slapped the knife from his grasp.

Gu Li snapped back to reality, realizing he almost did something stupid.

He then felt a chill on his side.

In Jiang City in May, it shouldn’t be cold, especially with so many people in the kitchen.

Thinking this, he turned to see an angry Tuanzi.

"You mustn’t get distracted when using a knife," she lectured with the air of a little adult, "you could easily get hurt!"

Gu Li knew he was wrong.

However, he had never apologized before, and now he scowled silently.

Tuanzi was even angrier.

"You make a mistake and still act grumpy?"

She used both hands to pinch Gu Li’s cheeks and pulled to both sides, "Quickly say, ’I was wrong, I’ll never do it again’!"

Gu Li’s eyes widened involuntarily.

"Are we seeing who has bigger eyes?"

Tuanzi huffed angrily, widening her eyes, "Miaomiao’s eyes are bigger than yours!"

Gu Li blinked, at a loss for words.

Gu Chi, while picking vegetables, caught a glimpse of their interaction from the corner of his eye and smiled, "Whoever does less work will eat less later."

Tuanzi immediately let go and pushed Gu Li towards Gu Chi, "If you can’t peel potatoes, then wash vegetables!"

She picked up a potato and started peeling it swiftly and neatly.

Gu Li looked at his own hands and then at Tuanzi’s.

"Heh heh," Tuanzi boasted, "Miaomiao is very skilled; envy is useless."

Gu Li hummed lightly.

"Not convinced, are you?"

Tuanzi was about to show off her skills again when she heard the sound of a car in the garage. Curiously, she tilted her head.

"Who’s back?"

The only person who could drive into their garage was eldest brother, but wasn’t he out for a script meeting today?

She immediately lost interest in showing off, put down the potato and knife, and joyfully trotted out.

When she met Gu Cheng, she hugged him, "Big brother, why are you back so early? Did you know Miaomiao was going to make something delicious?"

The tall man looked down, thinking of patting his sister’s head, but noticed a few marks on his pants and fell silent.

Tuanzi glanced at his pants, then at her own palms, and also fell silent.

Seconds later, Tuanzi took off running.

"Miaomiao didn’t mean it!"

She ran straight back to the kitchen, picked up the knife and potato again, and tried to act nonchalantly, "Big brother is back; we need to cook for one more person."

Gu Chi looked at her guilty expression, "Didn’t you ask him why he’s back?"

"Ahem!"

Tuanzi turned away, continued peeling the potato, and lowered her voice, trying to sound mature, "What should be known will eventually be known."

Ji Zhangzhuo, who was cutting meat, nearly laughed enough to cut his own hand.

By this time, Gu Cheng had entered the kitchen, paused at the sight of everyone, and eventually just reached out to take the knife from Tuanzi and replaced it with a peeler.
