Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Gu Chi’s Wound
The weary birds have already returned to their nests, and the children in the village are also heading home for dinner at the calls of the adults.
A tall and a short figure gradually blend into the night; just from their backs, they seem harmonious, as if they hadn’t just had an argument.
[Ancient Martial System: Haven’t you noticed the paint on Gu Chi’s face?]
[Miaomiao: I noticed, just didn’t remind him. It’s a punishment!]
The system hesitated to speak.
Realizing there’s paint on Gu Chi’s face, didn’t it occur to her that he might’ve left traces on her face too when he pinched her cheek?
Sometimes the host is very clever, but other times, she’s adorably silly.
The adorably silly Tuanzi returned to room number 3, and upon smelling the aroma of food, she exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide.
"Dinner today must be delicious!"
She was very hungry, but now she felt like showing off more.
"Brother Pei Hai, Brother Wangchao, look, Brother Gu Chi drew a picture of Miaomiao!"
She tugged at the drawing board Gu Chi was carrying.
The two brothers who stayed home also cooperatively admired it.
"It’s drawn very well," noticing Tuanzi’s eager eyes on him, Gu Wangchao nodded in understanding, "It captured Miaomiao’s adorably cute side."
Tuanzi: (*￣︶￣)
She proudly looked at Gu Chi, "Miaomiao’s cuteness made your drawing, you know. You draw well, but without the right model, the work wouldn’t have been this successful."
Gu Chi nodded, "You’re right. To make my works more successful, could you be my model more often in the future?"
Tuanzi froze.
Should she refuse or refuse or refuse?
She didn’t want to pose for that long anymore!
The clever Tuanzi swiftly changed the topic, "Okay, okay, after admiring, let’s wash our hands and eat."
She headed towards the kitchen.
Gu Wangchao followed her, "Right, and wash your face too. Not sure if regular water can clean off the paint on your face."
Tuanzi froze, her expression blank.
"What paint?"
Gu Wangchao puzzled, "The paint on your face. Wasn’t it you who put it on?"
Tuanzi: (〝▼皿▼)
"Gu Chi, you big meanie!"
She turned her head and yelled, only to see Gu Chi dashing out the door.
"Ahh, you didn’t even tell Miaomiao!"
She quickly chased after him.
"Did you do it on purpose?"
Even though Gu Chi had long legs, it was no match for the flying Little Heroine.
Tuanzi soon caught up with him, jumped on his back, and started playfully hitting him.
The cameraman understandingly captured a 360-degree shoot, ensuring every audience sees each detail.
"Did you do it on purpose?"
The gentle-looking artist held his head.
"It was an accident."
"Miaomiao doesn’t believe it! If it was really an accident, why didn’t you tell Miaomiao?"
Thinking of the many people she’d met on the way back and her face with patches of paint, Tuanzi playfully punched again.
Gu Chi didn’t know whether to block or not.
"You didn’t tell me either."
Tuanzi paused, feeling guilty.
She lay on Gu Chi’s back, thought for a while, "Alright, we’re both wrong, let’s shake hands and make up now."
Her small paw reached out, grabbed Gu Chi’s hand from behind, and shook it vigorously.
Soon, the people waiting at the door welcomed back a triumphant little cat and a big cat with messy hair.
Gu Peihai teased, "Little Chi, you can’t even win against a kid, you’re too weak."
Gu Chi sat down, smiling with his brow arched, "Can Brother Pei Hai win?"
The Film Emperor’s smile froze.
"The pot calling the kettle black." Gu Chi picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised pork for his sister, earning a radiant smile from her.
With food, the mood is better, Tuanzi quickly echoed, "Right, the pot calling the kettle black. Miaomiao can beat you with one hand, and you wouldn’t win."
Gu Peihai couldn’t win against the two, so he sought help from his brother.
Gu Wangchao pretended not to see.
If this goes on forever, the food will get cold.
After dinner, everyone went to the threshing ground together.
Many villagers had already arrived, and the local Yangko dance team had started performing.
After the local villagers performed, the guests also had to perform.
Tuanzi stood up eagerly.
"Let’s perform first! Perform the Qimei Stick Technique."
She took the lead, and several young guests also stood out. The local kids who had learned with her also stepped forward.
Everyone lined up neatly and started performing earnestly.
No matter whether others’ postures were standard or not, showing a serious attitude would earn enthusiastic applause.
Bao Cong’s father clapped vigorously, "I’m thinking of sending this kid to martial arts school."
Another villager clapped with confusion, "Just now, when I asked these kids to perform, they all said they couldn’t. How come they all ran out when Miaomiao shouted?"
After performing the Qimei Stick Technique, Gu Peihai, Su Hanjiang, and Wu Ti even performed a movie scene, with Su Chaomu making a cameo.
Gu Wangchao sang a few songs, and Liu Hu danced.
All in all, everyone showed off their various skills.
Most people were laughing, and even the crew looked a bit moved, with reddened eyes.
The show’s success was thanks to the cooperative villagers of Xishui Village, the crew, and the guest team.
After this season ends, Xishui Village will officially open to the public as a tourist village.
Only sharp-eyed viewers would notice Liang Qiyun’s scowling face as the camera quickly panned by.
After the lively events, the guests returned to their respective homes.
Wu Ti from house number 4 invited a male and a female guest.
To avoid gossip, Liang Qiyun stayed in room number 5 where Yun Xiuxiu and her mother had previously lived.
As they walked back, the male guest tried to keep the atmosphere lively, but Wu Ti’s smiling yet distant demeanor and Liang Qiyun’s constant scowls were hard to ignore.
In the end, the male guest could only talk to Wu Yu.
The young boy was lazy and aloof, responding to every few sentences.
Male guest: This is tough for me.
When Liang Qiyun went alone to room number 5, and Wu Ti was about to enter the bathroom, the male guest followed up.
"What’s up with you two?"
Now without the cameraman, the male guest from the same company as Wu Ti asked directly.
Wu Ti’s expression was indifferent, "Haven’t you guessed it?"
The male guest rubbed his forehead.
"Is it because they wouldn’t let her act with the Film Emperor?"
The regular guests knew in advance there would be a final night performance and had already discussed the performance content well beforehand.
But in the afternoon during rehearsals, Liang Qiyun saw it.
Liang Qiyun didn’t want to miss the chance to be on the same screen with Gu Peihai and asked Wu Ti to persuade the two film emperors to let her join.
At that time, Wu Ti’s response was indifferent, "If you want to join, just ask them directly."
Liang Qiyun flirtatiously said a few words, but was thinking that Gu Peihai avoided her, and Su Hanjiang despised dishonesty and would definitely refuse outright.
Eventually, the two had an unhappy fallout. Liang Qiyun hadn’t given Wu Ti a pleasant face since.
The male guest looked at Wu Ti’s expression and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Wu, are you planning not to renew your contract?"
At the same time, back in room number 3.
Tuanzi stayed alone in the room; she rolled on the bed and then sat up with some frustration.
[Miaomiao: Little Gu Gu, did you see it?]
The system was startled, thinking the host was pursuing the matter of it not reminding her.
[Miaomiao: Brother Gu Chi has a deep scar near his shoulder.]
