Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 692: Eighth Senior Brother: Are You Sick or Something?
Gu Chi wasn’t the best student back in school, but he had a good memory, especially with memories related to people he cared about.
He clearly remembered his sister once saying that she was the youngest disciple of her master, and she proudly declared that she would become the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Cloud Sect someday.
However, after the senior brother left the mountain, she never mentioned succeeding as the Sect Leader again, only occasionally mentioning how many senior brothers were above, but never younger brothers.
From what he knew of his sister, if there indeed were a junior brother younger than her who would sweetly call her ’Senior Sister,’ she would have already bragged about it everywhere.
He had a very bold guess in his heart and couldn’t help but scrutinize Ning Jixiu closely.
Noticing his scrutiny, the little boy quickly ran to the other side of Tuanzi to hide, peeking out with half his head, cautiously observing him, as if he were a big villain.
Gu Chi wiped off his smile.
This reaction definitely belongs to a child, making the guess of ’an adult’s mind in a child’s body’ seem a bit far-fetched.
Well, what can you do, he thought this little boy’s behavior seemed quite manipulative.
"Senior Sister, is this older brother suspicious? He’s been staring at Xiuxiu!"
Before Tuanzi could explain, Ning Jixiu added, "Let’s hurry and run away, the big villain is too scary."
Gu Chi smiled gently, "I’m not a villain, I’m your senior sister’s cousin."
The little boy widened his eyes, full of disbelief, "But you don’t look anything alike, Senior Sister is a good person, and you are a bad person."
Gu Chi recalled that they had only met for less than ten minutes, and he hadn’t done anything inappropriate, so why was he deemed a villain? He suspected the little boy was trying to undermine him in front of his sister, what a scheming mind!
"Brother Gu Chi isn’t a villain."
Tuanzi finally found an opportunity to speak.
She affectionately patted Ning Jixiu’s head, "Brother Gu Chi can draw, let’s ask him to paint a picture of us together, shall we?"
The little boy seemed tempted, and after looking at Gu Chi again, he reluctantly said, "If you can draw, you must be a good person."
Gu Chi choked. Doesn’t that imply that if he couldn’t draw, he’d be a bad person?
Just these few words were enough to make him thoroughly suspicious of Ning Jixiu.
"Alright, I’ll paint a picture for you two."
He followed his sister to the Gu Mansion, expertly set up a painting stand, and began directing the two to pose. During this time, he deliberately fussed over Ning Jixiu a bit.
Ning Jixiu only cooperated for a few minutes before complaining to Tuanzi, "Senior Sister, does he really know how to draw? A demanding painter isn’t a good painter."
Saying this, he cast a secretive glance at the smiling Gu Chi, quickly turned away as if frightened, and timidly said, "We’d better not have him draw for us."
Gu Chi felt as if he had met his match.
He dared not make any more requests and quickly finished the drawing for the two of them.
Tuanzi stroked her chin, carefully examining the painting, not sparing any praise.
"Bro, your drawing skills have gotten better and better; you’ll definitely win first place in this competition!"
Gu Chi packed up his drawing tools, and upon hearing this, he replied modestly, "This time, the competition is fierce, so I’d be satisfied to make it into the top five."
Tuanzi wasn’t happy to hear such modest words; her cousin’s drawing skills were simply the best.
She racked her brains, trying to praise Gu Chi to the skies.
The young painter enjoyed his sister’s compliments, maintaining his humility in his words, as if he genuinely believed it. In reality, he was a bit conceited.
During this time, he glanced down at Ning Jixiu condescendingly.
The little boy puffed his cheeks unhappily.
Without hesitation, he said, "Senior Sister, stop praising him. If he can’t take first place, he’s not fit to be your cousin. Let’s find another cousin."
The seemingly innocent little boy pointed to a passerby outside the courtyard, "He’s good, taller and better-looking."
Pressing his fingers to his throbbing temples, Gu Chi glanced outside the courtyard. After seeing the passerby’s appearance, he fell into prolonged silence.
He wasn’t one to judge people by their looks, but wasn’t this passerby well over fifty? Though taller than him, the other person’s looks were definitely not superior to his.
He concluded that Ning Jixiu did it on purpose, and he couldn’t help but show a sinister smile.
"Ah!"
Ning Jixiu let out a sharp cry, flashed behind Tuanzi, and shouted in fear, "The villain is going to catch the child, someone save Xiuxiu!"
Gu Chi: "..."
[Ancient Martial System: Haha]
[Miaomiao: Little Gu Gu, why are you laughing]
[Ancient Martial System: Never thought Gu Chi would have a day like this, your eighth senior brother is quite formidable]
Tuanzi corrected it, saying he wasn’t the eighth senior brother anymore, he’s the junior brother now.
She comfortingly patted the junior brother’s head and seriously said to Gu Chi, "This place is too unfamiliar to him, so he reacts strongly when something happens. Brother, you’re definitely not a villain and wouldn’t bully little kids, Miaomiao believes in you."
Meanwhile, Ning Jixiu poked his head out from behind Tuanzi and made a face at Gu Chi.
Absolutely wanting to scold the little boy, Gu Chi remained silent.
His sister being fair and just was nice, not falling into the little boy’s trap was nice, but he still felt quite unpleasant.
The unhappy Gu Chi got in touch with Wen Li, intending to make more people suffer. At the same time, he frequented his sister’s house to observe if Ning Jixiu was genuinely a three-year-old kid.
Coincidentally, Ji Zhangzhuo and Zhen Haowei hit it off, continuously coaxing Ning Jixiu into eating more when he was about to regain consciousness. So for consecutive days, Ning Jixiu retained a three-year-old’s mentality, very attached to his master and ’Senior Sister’ Gu Miaomiao.
When Zhen Haowei cooked, he kept imagining the junior sister was the eighth junior brother’s senior sister. But for some reason, ever since the first meal made Tuanzi seem like the senior sister, no matter what fantasies Zhen Haowei had, Ning Jixiu always regarded Tuanzi as the senior sister, and was quite clingy with her.
Tuanzi indulged her desire to be a senior sister, and allowed Ning Jixiu to cling to her, which somewhat left Zhen Haowei feeling uneasy.
On this day, Wen Li came over.
The novel he wrote specifically for the amusement park was finalized, but it would take some time to publish.
He came to report the progress to his sister.
Tuanzi hugged a pillow tightly, her eyes wide open in vigilance, "You’re not here to report progress, you’re here to scare Miaomiao!"
Wen Li smiled slightly, "Aren’t you curious about how the story will develop next?"
Tuanzi was torn.
She loved reading stories, getting quite engrossed, and once she knew the beginning of a story and was captivated, she couldn’t resist wanting to explore the rest of the story.
"Darn it!"
She clenched her fists, "Cousin, you know Miaomiao too well!"
Someone displayed a determined smile. Noticing the little boy watching him intently from the corner of his eye, he said gently, "Is this your junior brother? Does he like hearing stories?"
Tuanzi quickly covered Ning Jixiu’s ears.
"Don’t scare him!"
The little boy shook his head, shaking Tuanzi’s hand off, and curiously asked, "What story?"
Wen Li gently narrated the beginning, and seeing the little boy still looking at him curiously, he felt a bit disappointed.
Fearing that Ning Jixiu would be frightened, Tuanzi tried hard to explain that it was merely satire against the amusement park’s investor who was unscathed in the incident, and the amusement park hadn’t truly become a terror site.
"Why go against the investor?"
Ning Jixiu didn’t understand, "Did he wrong you in any way?"
Wen Li’s explanation was as usual, "If he’s unhappy, then I’m happy."
The little boy blinked and said bluntly, "Mister, is there something wrong with you?"
Wen Li: "..."
