Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Embarrassing Words
The next morning, Tuanzi got up early.
"Brother Pei Hai, wake up for the morning run~"
She called out in her soft, childish voice a few times.
The man in bed didn’t move, sleeping deeply.
The sleeping Film Emperor was still very handsome.
But at this moment, Tuanzi ignored his handsomeness.
"Brother Pei Hai, get up!"
The Film Emperor didn’t move.
Tuanzi puffed up her cheeks, thought for a moment, pinched his cheeks, found there wasn’t much flesh, and switched to poking.
"Get up and run!" gradually getting irritable.
The Film Emperor groggily replied, "Okay, okay, okay, I’ll sleep for three more minutes."
Tuanzi tilted her head thinking, decided to wash up first, and by the time she was done, her cousin would just be waking up.
She energetically went to wash up.
After changing into sportswear, she came back and found the person in bed still sleeping deeply.
Tuanzi: ▼_▼
The machine wasn’t turned off, and the early-rising audience clearly noticed Tuanzi’s change.
[Miaomiao: Gradually getting irritable]
[From sweet and soft to puffy and angry]
[I have to say, the Film Emperor’s way of staying in bed is exactly like mine]
Tuanzi tilted her head to observe her cousin, turned and went out. Her back looked angry, and she walked with extra force.
Before long, she came back with a basin of cold water and a towel.
"Brother Pei Hai, you worked hard yesterday," she said with a mischievous smile, "Today Miaomiao will help you wash your face."
She wet the towel, wrung it out, and directly placed the cold towel over Pei Hai’s face.
"Hiss!"
Pei Hai inhaled sharply, instantly waking up.
Seeing him lying flat and not getting up, Tuanzi wrung the towel again, placed it on his face, and scrubbed vigorously.
"I’m getting up, I’m getting up!"
Pei Hai begged for mercy, "My face is going to be scrubbed raw! Little ancestor, I rely on my face for a living!"
"No, no, no," Tuanzi diligently scrubbed his face, shaking her head, "Brother, you rely on your acting skills for a living, don’t doubt your acting."
Pei Hai was on the verge of tears.
By the time Pei Hai finished washing up, Tuanzi had already warmed up in the small courtyard.
She even shredded the outer layers of a cabbage to feed the chicks and ducklings.
Seeing this scene, Pei Hai felt a bit ashamed.
"I’ll take care of them, no, I should make breakfast first."
"None of that is right."
Tuanzi rubbed her soft, pale cheeks and gave Pei Hai a sweet smile.
"Brother Pei Hai needs to do warm-ups now, run a lap around the village with Miaomiao. Afterwards, if Brother Pei Hai wants to learn Tai Chi Boxing, Xingyi Boxing, or swordsmanship and stick skills, Miaomiao can teach you."
Pei Hai: "!"
The man took a step back, pretended not to hear, and headed for the kitchen.
"Let me see what other ingredients we have."
Tuanzi angrily rushed over to block him.
"No way, warm up first, then run. Brother Pei Hai, your body’s in bad shape. A good body is needed to create good works."
This was a direct quote from the system; she faithfully repeated it.
Pei Hai clasped his hands together and bowed to Tuanzi.
"Refusing to exercise, starting with me." Exercising is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime! Isn’t sleeping in more delightful?
Tuanzi bared her teeth.
After some thought, she gestured with her hand, "Brother Pei Hai, bend down, Miaomiao wants to tell you a secret."
Pei Hai cooperated by bending down.
"This was a special request from Brother Wangchao to Miaomiao."
Pei Hai: "?"
"He really cares about you, afraid that you might not feel well, hoping you’ll exercise well. And, he might be watching the live stream right now."
The Film Emperor was a bit moved; he always thought his brother resented him but didn’t expect his brother would secretly care about him.
Gu Wangchao, who’s watching the live stream: "..." I never said such embarrassing words!
[Hahaha, doesn’t Miaomiao know her mic isn’t off?]
[The little secret you mentioned, we all heard it]
[The outside world says the Gu brothers are not on good terms, but it doesn’t seem so at all]
[People also say Gu Wangchao’s success today relies on his brother’s resources, but I’ve studied it closely, and their resources don’t overlap. Gu Wangchao made it on his own]
[Didn’t people say the brothers get along well? Then why doesn’t Film Emperor Gu help his brother?]
[For the one ahead, the current situation is, if Film Emperor Gu helps, people say Gu Wangchao is incompetent, relying entirely on his brother. If he doesn’t help, people say they’re not on good terms. Good and bad words have all been said by a bunch of idle people]
Tuanzi lowered her little head again, fiddling with her fingers, "Miaomiao also hopes Brother Pei Hai has a good body. Miaomiao especially likes Brother Pei Hai and doesn’t want you to get sick and feel uncomfortable."
Pei Hai lowered his eyes and saw his sister’s eyelashes trembling with unease, suddenly feeling both sour and soft-hearted.
Sister cares so much about him, yet he keeps refusing, truly being ungrateful.
"Alright," he said proudly, "I’ll exercise with you. If I waver, you can criticize me loudly!"
Tuanzi squinted and smiled.
"Okay!"
The sight of this smile suddenly made Pei Hai’s back feel cold.
The two started running along the village roads, starting from the small courtyard.
Tuanzi ran with excellent form, earnestly teaching Pei Hai.
Pei Hai, to live up to his siblings’ concern, learned seriously.
For the first five minutes, he ran energetically.
After five minutes, he felt his steps grow heavy.
At ten minutes, he wanted to give up.
Predictably, Tuanzi jogged in place until her cousin caught up, offering a smile brighter than a flower and a voice sweet as honey.
"Brother Pei Hai, you’re amazing, holding out for so long, truly a role model for Miaomiao."
A role model?
Can’t give up, Pei Hai thought, if he gives up, he’ll set a bad example for his sister.
He summoned his dignity as an older brother and kept going.
After less than five more minutes, he felt his hands were no longer his own, and neither were his legs.
Then, Tuanzi jogged in place again, waiting for her cousin to catch up, turning to look at him.
Pei Hai thought his sister would give him that sweet smile to encourage him again, thinking how nice it is to have such a sweet and cute sister.
Tuanzi’s face darkened, imitating Gu Cheng’s tone, "You can’t hold on after only fifteen minutes, look at you..."
A stream of criticism for people who dislike exercising.
These were collected by the system online and relayed to the host. After all, the host hadn’t scolded anyone before and could only mimic others.
Truth be told, mimicking Gu Cheng’s tone and spitting out those sharp words was quite powerful.
Pei Hai’s face showed shock.
"Where did my sister go?"
The adorable, sweet sister?
Even the audience was startled.
[Stop scolding, stop scolding, I’ll get up and exercise, okay?]
[Can’t lie down anymore, getting up resignedly]
[Miaomiao’s expression looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere before]
[Gu Cheng: Death Stare.jpg]
[Yeah, yeah, just like Gu Cheng, truly worthy of being siblings]
The audience was shaken, feeling like Tuanzi turned into a different person. Then, a comment floated by.
[I don’t find it scary, it’s like a little kitty fiercely going meow meow meow]
The audience was taken aback, then immediately imagined Tuanzi as a fierce little kitten. Mmm, still as cute as ever, they could listen to it a hundred times more.
