Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Miaomiao Is Very Angry
Time slowly passed.
Tuanzi had been holding her face up, and her hands were getting sore.
She quietly put down one hand, gave it a shake, and kept her big eyes on Gu Chi’s reaction.
Gu Chi wasn’t looking up at the moment.
By the time he did look up, Tuanzi had already resumed her pose.
Haha, I’m so clever, Tuanzi thought happily, her big eyes couldn’t help but curve like crescent moons.
Gu Chi stared at her.
Tuanzi pretended to be serious, holding her face and looking at him.
After a while, Tuanzi couldn’t hold it anymore, "Brother Gu Chi, is it not finished yet?"
Gu Chi: "Almost, almost."
Tuanzi believed him, only moving slightly, then continued to keep her previous pose.
To her, it seemed like a really long time before Gu Chi was still painting.
She asked anxiously, "Is it not finished yet?"
"Almost, almost."
Tuanzi’s little face fell, "Almost should mean it’s about done, right?"
[Haha, ’almost’ usually means at least ten minutes]
[When my girlfriend is putting on makeup and I ask when she’ll be downstairs, she says almost, but it’s half an hour later]
[When my boyfriend is gaming and I ask when he’ll buy groceries, he says almost, and it’s an hour later]
[Teachers dragging out class say almost, just one minute, actually ten minutes]
After three "almost, almost," Tuanzi put her hands down angrily and watched Gu Chi warily.
"Are you teasing Miaomiao?"
Gu Chi paused, raised his eyes, smiling like crescent moons, "How could I? If you don’t believe me, you can ask other models."
Tuanzi blinked, "Miaomiao doesn’t know other models."
"Then ask after it’s done, no rush."
In a strange twist, Tuanzi ended up modeling for a long time.
"Rumble!"
Her stomach growled.
Tuanzi couldn’t resist patting her belly, then looked at the brilliant sunset not far away.
"It’s really been a long, long time."
She stomped her feet, exclaiming, "Not doing it anymore!"
With that said, she turned around to leave.
"But who was it that swore to be patient, not to throw a tantrum, not to run away before?"
The gentle voice successfully stopped Tuanzi in her tracks.
She puffed her cheeks, eyes rolling around, finally resigned to stand back.
"The world’s number one Little Heroine keeps her word!"
She is someone who keeps promises, very principled!
The principled Tuanzi waited until dusk settled in, the sunset gradually fading, only then hearing Gu Chi say, "Finished."
"Woohoo, I’m free!"
She rushed towards her cousin, "Let Miaomiao see your masterpiece!"
Before stabilizing, she smiled at Gu Chi, "You must have made Miaomiao look super cool!"
[Ancient Martial System: Look before you judge]
Tuanzi suddenly had a bad feeling. She turned her head, and after seeing Gu Chi’s painting clearly, her mouth dropped wide open.
It was a landscape painting, depicting the flower field at dusk, the brilliant sunset at the horizon blended with the field.
Very beautiful, very dreamy.
But, no Little Heroine!
Gu Miaomiao kept her mouth open as she slowly turned to look at Gu Chi.
"You’re a big meanie!"
She jumped up and punched Gu Chi.
"Super big meanie, Miaomiao won’t play with you anymore!"
He actually tricked her into modeling for so long!
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, her eyes grew red, her dark pupils soaked in tears becoming even clearer and brighter.
"You are so annoying."
Gu Chi hadn’t expected her to cry, awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"Just kidding, I did paint you."
He quickly pushed aside the first canvas, revealing a middle layer canvas.
The canvas he bought was multi-layered, with small mechanisms inside that allowed it to be pushed open sideways. Sometimes when inspiration hit, he would paint several pieces at once.
"See, this painting has you in it."
Tuanzi looked over miserably.
It was the flower field in the afternoon.
The sunlight was bright, the girl laughed as radiantly as the flowers.
The cameraman following Gu Chi pushed the camera closer.
[Wow, this style is fresh and bright, seeing it makes one feel good]
[His painting style matches his gentle temperament quite well]
[Seems like an upcoming painter, has sold a few paintings and participated in exhibitions, but can’t compare to famous painters]
[But he’s still young, one day he might become famous]
[Seems he opened a studio, but doesn’t have many students]
[So actually Gu Chi already painted a piece with his sister, then quickly painted another to trick his sister?]
[He seems gentle, but is actually quite sly, almost made his sister cry, let’s see how he’ll make it up]
Tuanzi pouted, feeling like crying but also laughing.
Tricked, feels like crying, but seeing herself drawn so adorably, couldn’t resist smiling. The final expression was a bit distorted.
Gu Chi cautiously observed for a while, realizing his sister kept staring at the painting rather than him, awkwardly scratched his face.
"Sorry, I just wanted to tease you a bit."
When his sister agreed to model, he had already thought of this trick.
Tuanzi: "Hmph!"
A hand reached over, gently poked Tuanzi’s face.
"Sorry, can the world-class Little Heroine with great patience forgive me?"
"Even if you praise Miaomiao, it won’t work!"
Tuanzi stubbornly turned her head, only showing the side of her fair chubby face.
"Miaomiao is very angry, the consequences are very serious!"
Gu Chi watched her, seeing her cheeks puffed up like a white bun, and pinched them a few times.
He released her, sighed lightly.
Tuanzi pretended not to hear.
Clearly another trick to tease her, she won’t fall for it again!
Tuanzi didn’t notice, but the system and viewers did.
Gu Chi’s hands were smeared with paint; when he scratched his face, he left paint on his own face, then pinched his sister’s cheeks, leaving paint on Tuanzi’s face too.
The system considered but didn’t immediately remind the host.
The host seemed like a balloon now, if reminded, she might just explode on spot.
Tuanzi kept admiring her own coolness.
"This painting must be given to Miaomiao!" she said confidently.
"Sure, no problem."
Gu Chi smiled: "How about I paint ten more as compensation later?"
Her little head tilted, eyes rolled around, Tuanzi thought about it carefully.
"Alright."
She finally turned to look at Gu Chi.
"Deal just like that!"
The generous Little Heroine warned him: "From now on, you can’t bully Miaomiao like this again, Miaomiao will get really angry, very angry!"
She acted fierce like a baby lion baring its teeth, trying to scare off anyone approaching. Not very intimidating, but overly cute.
Gu Chi obediently responded, "I won’t deceive you with painting anymore."
[If you translate this, doesn’t it mean he’ll trick her in other ways]
[Miaomiao, you need to beware of this man’s verbal traps]
Tuanzi couldn’t see these comments.
After successfully lecturing her cousin, she demanded to go home quickly.
"So hungry, Miaomiao worked so hard, needs to eat lots and lots of rice."
Gu Chi packed up his canvases and carried them on his back again.
"Then let’s head back."
Tuanzi walked beside him, after a while, suddenly proactively grabbed one of his fingers.
The young painter paused, looking down at her.
Tuanzi fiercely said: "Won’t let me hold it? Miaomiao insists, it’s a punishment!"
How could such a cute punishment exist?
Gu Chi smiled, "Whatever the Little Heroine wants, I’ll follow the Little Heroine’s wishes."
"Hmph!"
