Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Xiangxiang
Staying in the bamboo house, there’s nothing to do, everyone either eats or cooks.
The main ingredient is four fish, but they’re out of rice.
Gu Cheng and the others decided to trade bananas and pineapples.
They left the golden bananas for the children and took the rest to trade.
There are quite a few golden bananas, enough for four big bunches.
The children each took one, sitting in a row on the sleeping bags.
There’s a fixed camera aimed at them, allowing the viewers to clearly see them sitting in rows.
[Cute]
[If only we could kidnap one]
[Dare you try?]
[Gu Cheng: death glare.jpg]
[They look so hungry and miserable, but can’t be fed]
[The show crew is heartless]
The children waited for a while and realized the adults hadn’t returned, feeling anxious.
[I watched the livestream over there, the trade failed]
[The director wouldn’t agree to trade no matter what]
[Holding a grudge from before, it’s ridiculous]
[What about the kids?]
The Ancient Martial System also informed Tuanzi of this bad news.
Tuanzi clenched her fist.
Rage is charging up!
"Prince, Prince," Tuanzi patted Gu Jiujiu beside her, "let’s go trade with the staff, they must have food."
The food might either be distributed by the show or brought by themselves.
Gu Jiujiu agreed without hesitation.
They put on raincoats and boots, taking three bunches of bananas out.
A staff member was standing at the entrance in a raincoat and hurriedly picked up the camera to follow them.
Tuanzi avoided the room where the director was staying and found another activity room where other staff were resting.
Everyone was bored, and they noticed a small head at the door.
Above the little head was another little head.
Upon closer inspection, five children had come over.
"Pretty sister, handsome brother," Tuanzi said sweetly, "can we negotiate something with you?"
The pretty sister and handsome brother were delighted, this kid knows how to speak!
The five children ran inside, took off their raincoats, and flattered everyone sweetly.
The staff were dizzy from all the praises.
When they brought out three large bunches of wild bananas, a dizzy trade was made.
They didn’t have rice but had instant noodles, self-heating meals, bread, sausages, and some snacks.
When they parted ways, each child had a plastic bag full of food.
"Goodbye, pretty sisters and handsome brothers~"
Tuanzi waved with a smile, "See you next time~"
Translate means when we’re out of food, we’ll find you again.
When the five children returned, they found the adults had already come back.
Seeing them return safely, the adults breathed a sigh of relief.
Afrraid of making the big brother angry, Tuanzi ran over swiftly, raising the plastic bag.
"Big brother, look!"
She vividly described how they traded with the staff.
The other children were also excited.
Especially Fu Youyou and Gu Jiujiu, who usually don’t socialize much, it felt like a major life accomplishment.
The two parents praised enthusiastically.
Many children need timely encouragement from parents to gain a sense of achievement and foster confidence. Discouraging education should be avoided.
Xiong Chenli felt a bit envious.
He glanced at his sister, "Sister, don’t you praise me?"
He pouted, feeling a bit aggrieved, "Usually when I help wash the dishes, mom and dad praise me."
Xiong Chenfei reluctantly praised him a few times.
The adults failed to trade, but the children came back full-handed.
Everyone had a lovely meal.
[Though simple, they’re eating joyfully]
[Can’t help it, I need to order delivery, eat fish]
[I want to eat fish too]
[I’ve noticed that whenever I watch something related to Gu Miaomiao, I end up ordering delivery or cooking because I’m hungry]
[She usually exercises with us, though this time, she didn’t do any Xingyi Boxing]
[Xingyi Boxing? What’s that?]
Someone immediately offered explanations, and others shared links. Clicking the links reveals promotional and instructional videos featuring Tuanzi.
A serious little face, standard posture, and cute explanations had the viewers watching again and again.
After watching a few times more, the body instinctively starts moving.
After eating and drinking well.
The bamboo house is too small; the kids can nap, but the adults can only chat.
Xiong Chenfei was unwilling, deliberately choosing the seat next to Gu Cheng.
She thought, if they do this for a few more episodes, release press articles, and hype up a CP.
At that moment, a head squeezed in.
Squeezing and squeezing, a Tuanzi wedged between them.
Xiong Chenfei looked down and found the sleepy Tuanzi still blocking them even though she could barely keep her eyes open.
Gu Cheng: "Not sleeping?"
"Want brother to accompany, can’t bear to part with brother."
Gu Cheng pursed his lips, suppressing a smile.
He picked up Tuanzi and left.
Xiong Chenfei: "..."
This continued; whenever Xiong Chenfei wanted to get close to Gu Cheng, a Tuanzi would flit over and squeeze in between.
After many occurrences, Xiong Chenfei suspected the child saw something. Gu Cheng also felt his sister’s actions had a deeper meaning.
Luckily, the rain reduced greatly; it’s a good time to go fishing.
Gu Cheng took his sister out.
After walking further, he quietly asked his sister, "Why do you keep squeezing over?"
Tuanzi glanced sideways, snorted, "Second brother said to defend your innocence."
Gu Cheng: "..." What nonsense?
"Second brother said he asked around, that Miss Xiong likes bundled marketing, and likes to hype... hype melon seeds, anyway, defending your innocence."
Tuanzi patted her chest, "Miaomiao will definitely complete the task well!"
Gu Cheng: "It’s hype up CP, not hype melon seeds."
"Same thing!" Tuanzi waved indifferently.
On rainy days, wearing raincoats, neither of them wore earpieces.
Even the cameraman following them didn’t hear what they were saying clearly.
But the cameraman and viewers all saw, after Tuanzi spoke a few sentences, Gu Cheng’s expression became particularly gentle, and he pinched Tuanzi’s cheek lightly.
Tuanzi immediately reached out, "Hug hug~"
Gu Cheng skillfully picked her up, no longer stiff like before.
On drizzly days, fish in the lake surface.
Tuanzi revealed a large scooping net.
"Haha, Miaomiao got this using a Xiangxiang."
She has Qinggong, and the fish gather together surfacing, flying directly over for a scoop would definitely yield a plentiful harvest.
Gu Cheng paused, hesitating, "Xiangxiang?"
"Just a smooch~"
Tuanzi puckered her lips and blew a kiss in the air.
Gu Cheng’s face suddenly darkened.
"Was there a staff member taking advantage of you? Who was it?"
His expression was very unpleasant.
Tuanzi was startled, shrinking her neck, "Just a pretty sister, Miaomiao doesn’t know her name."
Gu Cheng’s expression softened somewhat, seeing his sister looking at him cautiously, he solemnly said, "In the future, don’t just... Xiangxiang others, and if anyone touches you, you must tell brother."
Tuanzi nodded obediently.
She suddenly remembered that in the past, once when she went down the mountain with her master, a shopkeeper tried to touch her face and hand while the master was away, and she ended up kicking him away.
Better kick them away first and then tell brother.
