Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 609: Iced Lemon Tea
Tuanzi hadnโt realized the severity of the problem yet. ๐ง๐โฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ.๐ธโด๐
Seeing that Sixth Senior Brother was no longer running outside and the newly met cousin was visiting, she happily took them back home together.
Once home, East Gate West immediately slipped back into his room, not daring to show his face again.
Ji Zhangzhuo, who was peeking around, caught a glimpse of East Gate Westโs expression and immediately followed behind him with hands behind his back.
With no outsiders around, Jin Shilin adjusted his glasses and seriously emphasized, "He appeared suddenly."
"Oh, appeared suddenly."
Tuanzi nodded without much thought.
"Miaomiao can also appear suddenly, you know."
With a flash, she flew behind Jin Shilin, even resting her little head on Jin Shilinโs shoulder, rubbing it back and forth.
"Ah, Cousin, you have no meat on your shoulders."
Displeased, she withdrew her head and with another flash stood in front of Jin Shilin, unabashedly raising her chin, "Miaomiao can do it too!"
The spot rubbed by her chubby chin felt somewhat warm.
Jin Shilin resisted patting it.
Noticing her cousinโs casual attitude, several possibilities flashed through his mind.
"Just like teleportation in TV dramas," Jin Shilin emphasized, "a sudden appearance, that resident was looking down at their phone, but that dog and I saw it."
Her dark shiny eyes widened.
Jin Shilin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like his cousin finally understood. He didnโt want to be too blunt.
"Ah, Cousin, it turns out you watch dramas too!"
Tuanziโs focus completely shifted.
She tilted her head curiously, even in this position Jin Shilin gave off a sense of being proper and self-disciplined in her view.
"Miaomiao thought you were either working every day or buried in thick books."
Jin Shilin: "..." He really shouldnโt have discussed this with a child.
Looking up, he saw the white-haired, golden-eyed man had somehow gotten hold of a watering can and was watering the flowers.
The sunlight lingered on that satin-like white hair, and the golden-eyed man seemed to radiate a divine glow, not quite like a person from this world, and neither someone you would expect to be in charge.
Jin Shilin scanned the area and noticed a young man with tanned skin squatting on the steps, seriously eating ice cream, giving off the impression that disturbing him would be very impolite.
He also gave up trying to converse with this person.
He didnโt see any other senior brothers, which led him to ponder if there really was anyone reliable in this household.
Though the reliable people were absent, the reliable system was still there.
The system, having heard Jin Shilin emphasize โappeared suddenlyโ several times, instantly sensed something ominous.
Ancient Martial System: Your cousin didnโt happen to see Sixth Senior Brother appear suddenly, did he?
Miaomiao: The Senior Brother did appear suddenly.
Ancient Martial System: No, I mean suddenly appearing after particle transformation, not your kind of โwhooshโ appearance. You fly around the neighborhood often, and the cats and dogs arenโt even startled.
Tuanzi realized, her mouth wide open, looking at Jin Shilin in astonishment.
Jin Shilin lowered his gaze slightly, "Hmm?"
"Ah, well, Cousin, itโs just that Sixth Senior Brotherโs Qinggong is really good."
Tuanzi hurriedly tried to make amends, her little paws waving incessantly.
The system felt like covering its eyes.
Ancient Martial System: Miaomiao, stop explaining, the more you explain, the more suspicious it seems.
It regretted reminding its host.
Remaining calm like the breeze was much better earlier, but now the more they tried to explain, the messier it got, and with Jin Shilinโs intelligence, heโs likely even more suspicious.
Jin Shilin looked steadily at the panicked Tuanzi, repeating her words with little sincerity, "Qinggong is really good."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Tuanzi kept nodding her little head, afraid that Jin Shilin would suspect more, hurriedly ushering him inside.
"Cousin, youโre already here, stay for dinner."
She reached out willingly to take the paper bag from Jin Shilinโs hand, even smilingly saying, "Are you delivering takeout again, Cousin?"
Opening it up, it was pastries from a well-known brand in Jiang City, not the confectionery made by Wen Qi.
She was also very satisfied, bouncing into the kitchen, plating them and pouring a few glasses of iced lemon water.
Ancient Martial System: Itโs not very good to drink iced beverages in this weather, is it?
Miaomiao: What are you saying? In Jiang City, you have to drink something iced in August and September.
Ancient Martial System: Well then, let me be straightforward, you shouldnโt drink iced things.
Tuanzi went silent, carrying the platter out as if she had suddenly lost contact with the system.
Ancient Martial System: You can definitely hear me.
Tuanzi pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Jin Shilin was met by a somewhat sulky cousin.
"Whatโs wrong?"
As soon as he spoke, he saw a layer of condensation on the outside of the glass.
"Iced? You shouldnโt have ice."
Tuanzi: "... Then Iโll let it sit for a while."
Jin Shilin nodded, but as soon as the phone rang, when he pulled it out, out of the corner of his eye he saw a small chubby paw inching toward the iced lemon tea.
"Ahem, ahem!"
He coughed loudly, not turning around, and out of the corner of his eye saw the paw tremble in fright and quickly retract.
Seeing he didnโt turn around, shortly after the paw quietly approached the glass again.
Jin Shilin coughed a few more times.
"Cousin, did you catch a cold?"
Tuanzi gave up trying to sneak the iced lemon tea, leaning in to look at his face, "You look like you havenโt had enough rest, not like youโve caught a cold. And also..."
The little girl pointed with her chin.
"Your phone has been ringing nonstop, if you ignore it, it will be sad."
Jin Shilin quickly answered the call.
After a brief conversation, he hung up, but appeared somewhat distracted.
He was the type to quickly enter work mode when work was served to him on a plate. Just now, knowing it was a work-related call, his attention was continuously drawn to his cousin.
This was a novel experience for him; typically, he would feel agitated and remind himself not to make similar mistakes again. But just thinking about the previous scene, that sneaky little paw, brought a sense of joy to his heart.
It was a moment that, every time recalled, was heartwarming.
Itโs a treasured memory.
As he was pondering, a fluffy head popped into view.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that while he was in a daze, Tuanzi had climbed onto the sofa on his side, looking at him worriedly with her head tilted.
"Is it troublesome work? Cousin, you look so troubled. Isnโt cousin supposed to be all-capable in work?"
She hadnโt interacted with this cousin much, but Jin Shilin gave her that impression. This cousin surely must be a very capable person.
"Thereโs no such thing as being all-capable."
Jin Shilin didnโt reject the paw tapping on his forehead, he said earnestly, "I also have things Iโm not good at."
"Oh, oh, nobodyโs perfect?"
Tuanzi murmured, "Master always says that. Every time he says that, he follows up with, heโs the exception, heโs the most perfect person. Humph, Miaomiao is also very perfect, Miaomiao will be more perfect than Master someday!"
Sounds like this Master is quite narcissistic!
Jin Shilin grew curious about this unknown person.
"Since your senior brothers are coming down from the mountain one after another, will your Master come down too?"
