Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Black Little Paws
Tuanzi’s words, those who want to understand them naturally will.
For instance, Pei Hai.
He’s clumsy in day-to-day life, but in the circle, he’s quite shrewd.
Also, the scheming Liang Qiyun.
In addition, because he and Liang Qiyun belong to the same company, and the company is currently promoting Liang Qiyun, Wu Ti, who was forced to invite her to the show, and the industry veteran Su Hanjiang.
The audience is half confused and half awake.
[What does Miaomiao mean by this, why suddenly want to protect Film Emperor Gu]
[Didn’t catch that? Standing between the two, means, stay away from my brother]
[Gu Miaomiao is just a kid, how could she possibly understand these things]
[Miaomiao is very clever, maybe she noticed someone with bad intentions]
[Even if Miaomiao doesn’t understand, if someone instructed her to do this, then it was Pei Hai who instructed her, indicating that the Film Emperor has nothing to do with your goddess]
[Yeah, please take your goddess home, don’t pander to the triple-award winning Film Emperor]
[Pei Hai hasn’t even responded, why are you all arguing here]
Facing his sister’s smiling face, Pei Hai curled up the corners of his mouth.
"Sounds like you have a lot of experience?"
"Yeah, yeah, Miaomiao has even protected big brother!"
Tuanzi patted her chest, with a ’hurry up and hire me’ expression.
Glancing at Liang Qiyun’s stiff smile, Pei Hai nodded with a smile.
Tuanzi immediately squeezed between the two, sticking closely to Pei Hai.
"Alright, alright, let’s hurry home!"
As she moved, she pushed Pei Hai all the way to the edge of the concrete path, keeping Liang Qiyun far away.
Pei Hai wore a casual smile on his face, occasionally glancing at the little girl with unconscious doting.
Such an attitude is obvious to anyone with eyes, he has nothing to do with Liang Qiyun.
[Oh dear, I’m feeling embarrassed for someone]
[Miaomiao is so clever, protecting her brother again]
[Come on, don’t you think Gu Miaomiao is very rude? Yunyun was talking to Film Emperor Gu, and she suddenly interrupted and pushed someone away, very impolite]
[Firstly, it’s your Yunyun who kept talking, the Film Emperor was just replying occasionally out of politeness. Secondly, Miaomiao pushed away the Film Emperor, and he didn’t say anything, so why are you barking here]
[If the beam is not upright, the room will be slanted, isn’t Pei Hai also very rude, making a lady this embarrassed]
No matter how those with ulterior motives criticize, at least after this incident, if Liang Qiyun buys publicity, she’ll only be mocked.
Gu Chi sighed.
Gu Wangchao looked at him warily, "Brother Chi, what bad ideas are you thinking?"
The young artist smiled slightly, full of innocence, "I’m just worried about not being able to catch any fish."
Gu Wangchao didn’t believe it.
Back in room 3, once again Gu Wangchao made lunch.
Pei Hai, worried about any mishaps, avoided the cameras and took his phone to contact his manager to prepare in advance.
Manager: "I watched the show, it’s not a big problem, Miaomiao reacted quickly. Speaking of which, is she really that experienced? Who else in your family almost got dragged into a scandal?"
Pei Hai pouted, "Cheng. Damn, the first person my sister ever protected wasn’t me!"
Manager: "...Are you childish or not?"
What Pei Hai was more curious about was how Liang Qiyun suddenly set her sights on him.
The two had collaborated on a movie more than a year ago, where she was the third female lead, and they didn’t have many scenes together, nor did she interact much with him on set. Besides, he’d heard she had a boyfriend at the time.
Why after so long, did she suddenly want to create a buzz?
Manager: "Not sure, still investigating. However, I’ve heard that Wu Ti had a bit of a conflict with their company, and this time, it was clearly the company forcing Wu Ti to bring her over."
This was implicitly reminding him that he could ask Wu Ti for intel.
With other artists, they’d typically wait for things to happen before finding ways to resolve them. But with Pei Hai, he always prevented problems before they arose, which is why he’s remained scandal-free for years. Although it’s tiring, it’s better than dealing with bizarre rumors.
After hanging up the phone and walking back, he hadn’t walked a few steps when he saw a big one and a little one facing off.
"What are you two doing here?"
Seeing no cameraman, Pei Hai guessed they’d sneaked out.
The big one and the little one turned to look at him.
Pei Hai: "!"
"Hahaha!"
The Film Emperor laughed heartily without an ounce of decorum.
Tuanzi stomped her foot in anger, "Stop laughing, it’s not funny at all!"
She puffed up her cheeks, the black marks on her face becoming even more noticeable.
Gu Chi also had some on his face.
The two of them had turned into black-faced kittens.
Pei Hai tried hard to hold back his laughter, "What’s going on? How did this happen?"
Tuanzi sulkily glanced at Gu Chi.
"It’s all his fault, he deliberately lied to Miaomiao!"
Not long ago, they went to the kitchen to help with the fire.
Gu Chi was enthusiastic, with lots of black ash on his hands. When his sister came close, he suddenly said, "Miaomiao, there’s something on your face, let me wipe it clean for you."
Tuanzi was holding a cabbage at the time, so she simply leaned her little face over.
Gu Chi wiped it for her, smearing ash all over her face.
She was oblivious, turned back to continue washing vegetables, and only realized it when the system informed her. Instantly angry, she grabbed some black ash and jumped to rub it on Gu Chi’s face, chasing him all the way out.
Tuanzi raised her black paw, "Look, it’s dirty."
Pei Hai pulled out some tissues to wipe it for her, standing on her side to reproach Gu Chi.
"You’re not a kid, still so childish."
Tuanzi felt more justified, mocking Gu Chi, "You’re so childish, maybe even younger than Miaomiao?"
Gu Chi smiled, "Pei Hai, how does it feel to be pursued?"
Pei Hai’s face fell.
Tuanzi blinked, a little flustered.
"Oh, does that sister really like you, did Miaomiao do something wrong?"
"It’s not liking," Pei Hai said helplessly, "she just wants to use me, you didn’t do anything wrong."
If the other party genuinely liked him and expressed her feelings, even if he didn’t like her back, Pei Hai would respect and appreciate the affection. The problem is, Liang Qiyun clearly doesn’t like him, just wants to use him.
Finding true love in the circle is hard, and Pei Hai is prepared to remain single until he retires from the industry.
Gu Chi looked at his worried sister, "Your Pei Hai is a big catch, many people want a piece of him."
"Hey, that’s an excessive metaphor!"
Gu Chi looked innocent.
Tuanzi, at her current level, couldn’t understand the subtext of that sentence.
She looked up, observing Pei Hai’s handsome yet slightly roguish face, "Brother Pei Hai is an Alaska, not a big dish."
Pei Hai protested, "That metaphor is even worse, have you ever seen an Alaska this handsome?"
Tuanzi instinctively rubbed her face, "I have, that’s you, super handsome~"
Pei Hai wasn’t sure whether to be sad or happy.
Tuanzi, however, noticed the gaze and quickly turned her head, meeting Gu Chi’s smile.
She’s now developed a shadow of this smile.
"What bad idea are you up to?"
Gu Chi gave a good-natured reminder: "Your hands aren’t clean."
Tuanzi paused, opened her palms to look, and they were still black. Just earlier, she had rubbed her face with her black paws.
"Ahhh!"
