Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Annoying Pest
Noticing his sister suddenly freeze with a blank expression, Gu Cheng couldn’t help but poke her cheek.
Soft and squishy.
"Miaomiao, what’s wrong?"
"My fish!"
Tuanzi let out a wail, abandoning her raincoat and rushing outside hastily.
Gu Cheng: "!"
Gu Cheng put on a raincoat and chased after her.
Fu Guoqiang also reacted, "The stone fish tank was too big for us to move inside; the remaining four fish are still in there."
With such heavy rain, the tank must have been filled long ago. If not careful, the fish could have escaped.
The other kids also started wailing.
"The fish! My fish!"
Tuanzi dashed into the rain, her Inner Strength repelling the raindrops, as if she was wearing an invisible raincoat.
[Ancient Martial System: Don’t worry, I know where the fish are and I’ll guide you.]
The rain was too heavy and the bamboo house was on high ground, so the fish were swept far away.
Fortunately, it could locate them.
First fish, retrieved.
Second fish, retrieved.
When Tuanzi picked up the fourth fish, she was already some distance from the bamboo house.
With the rain pouring, she couldn’t discern directions, feeling as if she were the only one in the vast world.
"Ooh."
Sniffing a bit, Tuanzi held the fish tightly in fear.
[Ancient Martial System: Don’t worry, I’ll guide you back safely.]
"Okay,"
Tuanzi responded weakly.
That’s when she heard a voice.
"Miaomiao!"
"Miaomiao, where are you?"
Her big eyes brightened instantly.
"It’s my brother!"
"Brother’s here to find Miaomiao." She quickly rushed towards the sound.
"Brother, here! I’m here!"
The two silhouettes met in the rain.
The serious-faced man looked worried, squatting down and checking her to ensure Tuanzi was safe and not soaked before heaving a sigh of relief.
Tuanzi beamed, "Brother, look, Miaomiao brought all the fish back!"
No one could take their food away! Not even heaven!
Gu Cheng initially intended to scold his sister for being reckless, rushing into the rain without discussing it with everyone. What if she got hurt?
Seeing her proudly showing off the four retrieved fish with her eyes smiling, he softened.
"Miaomiao is amazing."
As for Tuanzi using Inner Strength to ward off the rain, though surprising, it was trivial compared to his sister’s safety.
"Let’s go back."
"Okay, okay."
Tuanzi wanted to reach out her hand but found her little hands occupied by the fish.
Gu Cheng folded a large leaf, wrapping the fish and carrying it with one hand, while holding her hand with the other.
Tuanzi was instantly delighted.
"It’s time to eat at home."
Gu Cheng hesitated to speak, thinking they just finished a meal.
Seeing the siblings return safely, everyone sighed in relief.
"Miaomiao, your clothes are dry."
Fu Youyou had a stack of clothes in her arms, seemingly prepared for Tuanzi.
But Tuanzi’s clothes were spotless.
Tuanzi giggled, "As long as I don’t want, the rain can’t touch me, impressive, right?"
Youyou nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.
"Awesome, super awesome!"
The fish were retrieved, and they planned to eat them today, giving them no chance to escape.
But that’s for the next meal.
What to do now was a question.
Gu Ran and Xiong Chenfei hadn’t washed or applied makeup. The former didn’t mind, but the latter was uncomfortable and refused to face the camera.
Yet, the director wanted them to chat in the bamboo house and interact with the audience.
Director Li: "Anyway, we’re idle."
The audience couldn’t see the comments, but Director Li could.
He also entered the bamboo house with a tablet in hand.
"Mr. Gu," Director Li looked at Gu Cheng, "a viewer asked if this is how you interact with your siblings at home?"
Tuanzi’s head shot up, eyeing him warily.
She was sensitive and sensed the malice in the question.
Director Li: "Ahem, the viewer’s way of interacting is described as making all decisions in a domineering manner for your siblings."
Gu Cheng’s expression was indifferent.
Before he could answer and before Tuanzi could get angry, Fu Guoqiang scratched his head in confusion.
"Domineering decision-making? I didn’t see that?"
He pretended not to see Director Li’s hint.
"In the past day, I’ve noticed Director Gu is actually quite gentle and thoughtful, especially with Miaomiao."
Gu Ran laughed: "I feel the same, quite a stark contrast. Isn’t this what people call a cute contradiction?"
Cui Chi joked: "Thanks to this show, we see a different side of Director Gu."
Director Li: "..."
[Didn’t expect everyone to speak up for Gu Cheng]
[Why wouldn’t they?]
[Look at all Gu Cheng has done from yesterday to today]
[He’s the type who acts more than he speaks, and he’s gentle with his sister, the contrast is striking]
[It’s the director who’s quite malicious with these questions]
[Don’t mention the director, he’s just brainless]
[Look at the rain outside, it’s like the director has water in his brain]
[Come on, everyone is being nice to Gu Cheng since he’s the director. Who dares to offend a director?]
[Yes, it’s obviously sucking up]
[You guys ahead, you think everyone is like you?]
Director Li then asked Xiong Chenfei, people suspected she couldn’t cook at all, was she lying?
Xiong Chenfei: "..."
Director Li then asked Cui Chi if he didn’t plan to enter the entertainment industry.
Cui Chi: "..."
All around, the bamboo house’s atmosphere turned heavy.
They realized the director not only withheld food, but also wanted them to film on rainy days and intentionally asked provocative questions.
"Alright, now it’s time to ask the kids." Director Li grinned.
Gu Cheng’s face turned cold, "We need to cook; the director should leave."
Anyone could see that Director Li intentionally posed aggravating questions to create sensational program content.
This type of person wouldn’t protect children’s hearts.
He didn’t want his sister to get hurt.
Director Li laughed: "No rush, no rush."
Tuanzi grew anxious.
She could feel her brother’s anxiety, and moreover, it was time to cook, and she wanted to eat.
Tuanzi quickly got up and began pushing Director Li outside.
"Go, go, we’re cooking now."
Director Li refused to leave.
But how could he win against the Little Heroine?
Tuanzi simply pushed him out and shut the not-so-sturdy bamboo door with a ’bang.’
Director Li: "..."
[Hahahahaha]
[Relieving!]
[Facing such a person, this is how you must deal with him]
[I really think this director has a screw loose]
[With the replay, the guest lineup is actually good, plenty of laughs and tears, lots of highlights, this episode’s popularity surpasses the total of the previous two episodes, what else does the director need?]
[Who knows, can we apply for a director change?]
[Go @ the program or Pineapple TV’s official blog to have them change the director]
After sending away the pest, Tuanzi rubbed her hands and happily asked Gu Cheng, "Can we cook now?"
