Chapter 145: Chapter 145: A Big Brother Like This
At six in the morning, Tuanzi skillfully climbed out of bed, changed clothes, and ran to the terrace to do her exercises.
After finishing the basic skills, she began to practice a set of swordsmanship.
She used a wooden sword, which was just the right size for Tuanzi’s small paws, specially customized by Gu Cheng.
Once she completed her morning exercises, she eagerly ran to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth in preparation for a fragrant breakfast.
Usually, if Gu Cheng was home, breakfast would be ready when she finished her morning routine, and it would be incredibly sumptuous. If Gu Che was home, he would always arrange for the property manager to buy breakfast and have it delivered to the door.
Despite being small, Tuanzi was agile, bustling around in the bathroom for a while, and then happily running out.
"Time to eat~"
Her sweet smile froze when she saw the empty dining room.
Her dark eyes flickered fiercely.
Her tiny paws held her little face as she silently shouted.
[Ancient Martial System: Stop looking, your big brother and second brother haven’t gotten up]
"Second brother likes to sleep in, but big brother..."
Tuanzi blinked, ran to the door of Gu Cheng’s room, and pressed her ear to it to listen.
She only heard the sound of steady breathing. Big brother was still asleep.
But usually, by this time, big brother would be awake. Even when he was extremely busy and rare leisure was available, big brother never slept in like second brother; he would cook, clean, exercise, and study.
"The breathing is steady, so he’s probably not sick, that’s good."
Tuanzi breathed a sigh of relief.
But once her stomach started growling, her little face fell again.
"I’m so hungry."
She opened the fridge, only to find there weren’t many ingredients left.
"Then Miaomiao will cook herself."
She could cook, though she hadn’t done it many times. She once cooked dinner for her big brother and second brother, and her big brother was very moved; afterward, he refused her to cook again.
"You’re still young, you don’t need to do these things."
Tuanzi simply fried some eggs and luncheon meat, and toasted some bread to make a sandwich.
Her small paws grasped the sandwich, her little mouth opened wide, and ’chomp,’ she took a big bite.
After eating three sandwiches and drinking a cup of milk, she wiped her little mouth and prepared to wake up her brothers.
"Big brother rarely sleeps in, let’s wake up second brother first."
In recent days, second brother had been resting and sleeping like a rock each day.
She lightly knocked on the door, discovered it wasn’t tightly closed, and casually nudged it open, revealing second brother in his bizarre sleeping position.
[Ancient Martial System: His sleeping position is even stranger than yours, you like practicing martial arts while sleeping]
Tuanzi defended herself confidently.
[Miaomiao: This is called diligence, even while sleeping I practice martial arts, my master was so moved he cried]
Soon, the room was filled with the scent of eggs, luncheon meat, and the fragrance of wheat.
Tuanzi stealthily approached, holding the sandwich close to second brother’s mouth.
Gu Che unconsciously moved his lips.
Tuanzi quickly pulled the sandwich back.
Gu Che continued sleeping.
Tuanzi offered the sandwich again.
The system found this scene a bit odd. Upon careful thought, it realized that in the cartoon watched yesterday, the cat had done something similar—teasing the sleeping mouse with food.
Seeing the host’s mischievous expression, the system decided not to comment for now.
Gu Che was awakened by the aroma.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted with the sight of a delicious sandwich.
He instinctively took a bite, only for the sandwich to escape, causing his upper and lower teeth to click together.
"?"
"Hahaha."
Upon closer inspection, the sandwich hadn’t grown legs; his sister had taken it away.
"Second brother, do you want to eat?"
Tuanzi smiled sweetly.
Gu Che, his brain still foggy, nodded his head.
Tuanzi offered the sandwich... then brought it to her own mouth and took a hearty bite.
"Not for you. If you want it, get up and take it yourself."
Gu Che: "..." After spending so much time together, he realized his sister was like a Tuanzi filled with sesame paste.
After Gu Che finished enjoying the sandwich personally made by his sister, Gu Cheng still wasn’t awake.
The siblings looked at each other.
Gu Che wondered: "This is the first time he’s slept in. Is he sick?"
Tuanzi shook her head, "Probably not."
A sick person’s breathing sounds different from this.
Gu Che simply twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.
Despite being a light sleeper, Gu Cheng did not wake up.
Gu Che stared for a while, then suddenly curled his lips.
"Miaomiao, do you have any other sandwiches? Let’s tease him."
Earlier, his sister teased the second brother, now it was the second brother’s turn to tease the big brother.
The system didn’t expect Gu Che’s mental age to be similar to the host’s.
Gu Cheng opened his eyes.
Gu Che quickly withdrew his hand and shoved the sandwich into his sister’s mouth.
Tuanzi bit into the sandwich, innocently widening her eyes.
The young director furrowed his brow, gathering a hint of anger.
"Don’t let her choke."
Gu Che retracted his neck, pausing for a while before daring to ask, "Big brother, you woke up so late today. Did you have insomnia last night?"
Gu Cheng paused awkwardly, "No."
Gu Che pouted.
He did have insomnia; despite the timely public relations reducing many negative comments about his sister, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. In the end, he opened a small account to argue with people, inadvertently staying up late.
Wait, could it be that big brother also opened a small account to argue with people? But he’s big brother, always so calm and serious.
Gu Che picked up his sister, sat on the sofa, and quickly grabbed his phone.
"Let me see, which one is big brother’s small account."
Tuanzi, biting the sandwich, mumbled, "What small account?"
"The account used to argue with haters."
Tuanzi: "?"
Gu Che paused, looked up, and met his sister’s clear big eyes.
"Uh, I mean, some people curse others, afraid of being found out, so they open a small account. But swearing is wrong; you shouldn’t do it."
Tuanzi nodded obediently.
Gu Che was infinitely gratified; despite his sister being like a sesame-filled dumpling, she was still a sweet and cute Tuanzi, obedient and adorable.
At this moment, he heard a soft voice, "Miaomiao doesn’t swear, just hits. Solve it physically if possible, rather than verbally."
Gu Che: "..."
Gu Che easily found big brother’s name on the trending list and clicked on it, only to see various conversation screenshots.
Last night, Gu Cheng politely yet seriously communicated with those spreading rumors, creating a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, only to find that some netizens couldn’t handle this and deleted comments. Luckily, some enthusiastic netizens took screenshots, compiled them, and spread the incident widely online.
The harmonious and friendly interaction continued until four-thirty in the morning. Netizens found that many couldn’t wait for such exchanges and actively deleted comments, urging Gu Cheng to rest enthusiastically. Unable to refuse their kindness, Gu Cheng chose to rest; otherwise, he might indeed have continued exchanges till dawn.
Seeing this, what was left for Gu Che to wonder?
Last night, big brother urged them to rest, while he picked up his phone to confront the rumor mongers.
Just then, Gu Cheng, dressed, strode over.
Gu Che looked up, gazing at him ruefully, "I didn’t expect you to be such a big brother."
Gu Cheng glanced at his phone, vaguely understanding something, feeling his ears turn slightly red.
"The breakthrough point for the program isn’t just Miaomiao; it likely won’t quiet down today."
Gu Cheng prepared to leave, "You and Miaomiao stay home. Tomorrow’s live broadcast will go smoothly."
