Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Concert
The young man lacked experience in handling emergencies, but had a heart full of bravery. Knowing there was danger, he still stepped forward without hesitation when his classmates were in trouble.
Reality taught him a lesson.
He saved three classmates, but they were afraid of retaliation and didn’t dare to report to the police or call for help nearby. Even later when the police investigated the three thugs, the families of the three were afraid of retaliation and none of them dared to testify.
"After all, that age is when one develops their worldview," Gu Rui sighed. "That incident had a big impact on him."
Everyone knew Gu Chi had a psychological shadow, and accompanied him to see a psychologist.
As for the result, it seemed he moved on, but Gu Chi quickly transferred schools. At the new school, he changed from his previous aloof style to often smiling gently, becoming a gentle campus heartthrob.
But no one could truly reach his heart.
"How should I put it, we had many comforting words for him at that time," Gu Rui patted Tuanzi on her little head, "Most people are kind, what you encountered was an exception. You’re very brave, but next time you should be more rational..."
But any comfort is pale, and the wounds formed will not disappear.
At that time, afraid that Gu Wangchao and some peers might say things they shouldn’t, further stimulating Gu Chi, the adults kept this matter hidden.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Tuanzi pouted, puffing out her cheeks, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
She was very distressed and didn’t know what to do.
Gu Rui took a tissue to wipe her tears.
"Miaomiao, I’m telling you all this to tell you that you can help others, but before helping them, ensure your own safety. Helping others requires rationality and caution, don’t be brave but reckless. Also, some people are not worth helping, understand?"
Tuanzi nodded, her little expression pitiful.
"Those who bullied Brother Gu Chi are bad guys, and those three classmates are bad guys too."
Her childish voice carried a sob.
"Even if they were scared and ran away, they could at least report it to the police. Even if they didn’t report it, at least when those thugs were caught, they should have testified."
The rescued continued their lives with the excuse of ’fear of retaliation,’ not knowing how much harm they caused a young man.
The more Tuanzi thought about it, the angrier she became, stamping her foot in indignation.
"Fear of retaliation? With those thugs, if you’re tough enough, how would they dare to retaliate?"
The system feared she would cry her voice hoarse.
[Ancient Martial System: It’s not worth getting mad about such people]
Tuanzi began to sob quietly.
Mu Xue, hearing the commotion, came out of the kitchen to see her husband at a loss and her niece crying like a little kitten, instinctively raised her spatula.
"What did you do? Bully the child?"
Gu Rui: "Such an injustice, we were just chatting, talking heart to heart."
Mu Xue didn’t believe him, carried Tuanzi away, and coaxed her for a while with freshly baked food until she was calmed down.
Tuanzi nibbled on caramelized bananas, her tear-drenched eyes glancing around.
She ate absent-mindedly, as if scheming something.
The next day, Gu Che finally returned to Jiang City.
He had many tasks in Jiang City, including rehearsing for the concert, participating in a magazine shoot, an interview, and meeting with a renowned director to discuss the new drama.
Despite all this, he found time to visit his second uncle’s house to spend time with his sister, had a meal together, left VIP concert tickets, and then hurriedly departed.
Tuanzi raised the tickets, examined them seriously, and first asked her second uncle and aunt.
"No, no, no, the concert is too noisy, we won’t go, you young people go instead."
Gu Rui waved his hand in refusal.
Gu Peihai was lazily nestled in the sofa; hearing this, he snickered, "You just want to take mom on a short trip, what excuse are you making?"
Gu Rui glared back, "What’s wrong with me traveling with my wife? If you dare, find a wife for yourself! You’re not young anymore, yet you don’t even have a single scandal."
When he mentioned scandals, Gu Peihai felt a headache.
Recently, there have indeed been some marketing accounts subtly talking about his affairs with Liang Qiyun. Fortunately, his sister previously defended his innocence on a show, so the marketing had little effect.
He had inquired about it from Wu Ti, who was also unsure.
Gu Rui wanted to take the opportunity to push the marriage issue, but Mu Xue glared at him.
"Alright, son rarely gets to rest at home for a few days, don’t always bring this up. Sons will have their blessings, marriage cannot be forced."
Gu Rui instantly shut up.
Gu Peihai rudely laughed again, and was chased out by Mu Xue.
"Go ask next door, Little Chi has been at home lately."
Gu Peihai could only lead his sister out.
After walking a distance, Tuanzi suddenly patted her head.
"Oh, Brother Peihai, I forgot to mention, you’re a special guest at the concert~"
Gu Peihai: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
"Why didn’t anyone tell me?"
Tuanzi smiled sweetly: "Second brother said he wanted to surprise you, and told Miaomiao to inform you only a few days prior."
Gu Peihai said gloomily: "It’s a shock!"
Tuanzi blinked, "Doesn’t Brother Peihai want to sing on stage? Brother Wangchao sings so beautifully, your voice must be beautiful too."
The Film Emperor guiltily looked everywhere but at his sister.
Tuanzi realized that even biological brothers could be different and pressed for answers.
"Ah, Brother Peihai, could it be your singing is not pleasant?"
Gu Peihai coughed a few times, "It’s okay, not deadly to hear."
Tuanzi: "?"
"What are you standing there for?"
A gentle voice sounded.
Tuanzi ’zoomed’ over and saw Gu Chi in sportswear.
The young painter wore a black sweatband, making his skin appear snow white. His cheeks were slightly red from exercise, looking full of vitality.
"Brother Gu Chi!"
Tuanzi excitedly ran over, pounced, and directly clung onto him.
Gu Chi instinctively caught her, lowering his eyes to look.
Tuanzi happily grabbed his collar.
"Brother Gu Chi, are you going to see second brother’s concert?"
Afraid Gu Chi wouldn’t be interested, she eagerly added, "Brother Peihai is a special guest, surprise, right?"
Gu Chi’s smile froze. When he looked up again, he smiled meaningfully.
"Brother Peihai is really courageous, I admire him."
Gu Peihai touched his nose.
He awkwardly approached and studied his sister.
"When did you two become so close?"
Previously on the show, Gu Chi loved teasing his sister, and their relationship was on and off, but now they were extremely affectionate.
Gu Chi also found it a bit strange. His sister seemed slightly more enthusiastic than before.
Being enthusiastic toward him was nice.
He curved his crescent eyes, "We’ve always been this close. Since Brother Peihai is a special guest at the concert, I definitely have to go for your performance."
The young painter set his sister down and took out his phone.
"Big brother seems to be returning to the country, let me message him and ask if he will go."
Gu Peihai was petrified.
Tuanzi ran back and curiously poked.
"Brother Peihai, what’s wrong?"
Gu Chi laughed: "With so many brothers and sisters supporting him, he’s too happy to speak."
Tuanzi cupped her little cheeks.
"So Brother Peihai was this excited, that previous comment was to fool Miaomiao. To lower expectations before stunningly appearing. Don’t worry, Miaomiao will cheer for you!"
