CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 218: SNEAKY LITTLE MOUSE

"Where did you go, why are you soaked?"

Gu Chi also woke up early, but he was inspired and started painting with shells, so he didn’t watch his sister do her morning exercise.

Unexpectedly, his sister went out clean and dry and came back wet.

The young artist squinted suspiciously.

"Don’t tell me you went into the sea."

Tuanzi guiltily looked away.

"Hehe, how could that be? There are monsters in the sea, Miaomiao wouldn’t go into the sea."

Gu Chi let out a "heh," "If there are monsters in the sea, you’d definitely be the first to go fight them. If the monster can be eaten, you’ll definitely finish it. If not, you’ll keep it as a pet."

Tuanzi couldn’t help but curl her lips, her brother really knows her.

Seeing Gu Chi’s dangerous gaze, she quickly drooped her head, "It’s uncomfortable being so wet."

Gu Chi had no choice but to fetch a towel.

When he returned, he sat on the sofa, prepared to dry his sister’s hair, but saw her give a mischievous smile and shake her head violently, spraying water onto his face.

Gu Chi: "..."

[Miaomiao: Dog shaking splash attack!]

[Just like my Alaska, my Alaska shakes water exactly like this]

[Gu Chi laughed, a brilliant smile]

[Miaomiao, danger!]

After shaking off the water, Tuanzi’s vision went dark. She tried to pull the towel over but couldn’t.

Gu Chi wrapped her little head in the towel and gave it a rigorous rub, and after drying it enough, he sent her off to have breakfast.

"The breakfast bought by the production team, I’ll make you something later."

Tuanzi rubbed her hands with expectation, "Alright, alright! The food Gu Chi makes, Miaomiao will definitely finish it all!"

Ten minutes later, Tuanzi stared wide-eyed at a big bowl of salad.

On the left were Xiaolongbao and tea eggs bought by the production team, on the right was a carton of milk, and right in the center was the salad Gu Chi personally made.

"It’s all grass, Miaomiao won’t eat it."

Gu Chi smiled without saying a word.

Tuanzi shrunk her shoulders, picked up a piece of ’grass’, and reluctantly stuffed it into her mouth, chewed, and then picked another piece of ’grass’.

Gu Chi: "It’s better to get it over with quickly than drag it out."

Tuanzi pursed her lips, thought about it, and realized it made some sense. She simply buried her head in the food and devoured the salad like a whirlwind, only then started eating the Xiaolongbao.

After a while, other guests came down for breakfast too.

On weekday mornings, the traffic in the business district isn’t very high, so everyone decided to arrange the villa in the morning and go to the business district in the afternoon.

Jiajia Furniture had already sent over the tables and chairs, and everyone began to work together to move them, with help from the program team’s staff.

Once the tables and chairs were arranged, Gu Chi brought out paintings sent by students.

Although Gu Chi didn’t explicitly say so, the students thoughtfully sent paintings with a warm style, rather than their best works.

After all, their best pieces might not conform to a warm theme.

Everyone hammered and hung up the paintings.

Gu Ran: "The progress is quite fast, if it goes like this, can we open next week?"

Since Jiajia Furniture sponsored the tables and chairs, the money earned this week can be used to buy tableware, cookware, and appliances.

"We should only be able to buy tableware and cookware," Ai Jie calculated the budget, "but we can open to make money and buy the rest."

Gu Chi chuckled, "We could ask the program team. If they’re ready, we can have a trial run next week."

The program team had no issues.

After this episode’s guests leave, they’ll apply for inspections from the relevant departments, and if all goes well, they can trial open next week.

Everyone then discussed that in the afternoon, Gu Chi’s and Gu Ran’s groups would perform while the other two groups went to the mall.

"I remember there’s an event this week starting with promotion on Monday." Ai Jie took out her notebook, confirmed the time, and was full of enthusiasm.

Yi Heng glanced at her, wondering if she was extraordinarily prepared or carefree enough not to worry about her ex-husband causing problems.

At noon, everyone continued eating boxed lunches.

Halfway through, several guests arrived.

"Gu Mo?"

Tuanzi bit her chicken leg and rushed over.

Gu Mo had brought two students to install the astronomy telescope.

Not only that, but he also brought a big bag of bread and cake.

Food?

Tuanzi’s eyes curved in a smile, like a little tail following Gu Mo, waiting for him to distribute.

Gu Chi tapped the lunch box, "Finish your lunch first."

Tuanzi returned, half-heartedly finishing her meal.

After tossing her chopsticks, she jumped off her chair and was about to run.

Gu Chi grabbed the hood of her sweatshirt.

Tuanzi turned back to look at him, a pitiful expression, "It’s siesta time, after resting we can work."

Gu Chi smiled: "Don’t eat too much cake, that’s your big brother’s advice, I’m here to supervise."

Tuanzi instantly wilted and went to find Gu Mo, dejected.

Gu Mo sat on the white long chair watching the sea view, holding a caterpillar, or more accurately, a caterpillar-shaped cream-filled bread.

Tuanzi swallowed.

"Want some?"

Gu Mo broke the caterpillar in half and gave her a portion.

Tuanzi took it, bit into it, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Delicious!"

She sat close to Gu Mo, happily eating bread.

After finishing the caterpillar, the siblings shared seaweed rolls and tiger skin egg cake rolls.

After a while, Gu Mo picked up a macaron cherry pie, looked down and asked, "Want some?"

"I want."

Tuanzi wiped her mouth, looking nervously back at the villa, afraid she’d see a familiar smile.

"But what if Gu Chi and big bro tell on me?"

"He won’t tell."

Gu Mo was confident in his brother, "He wouldn’t do that."

Tuanzi rolled her eyes, "You trust him too much, like a little bunny."

The brother is a naive little bunny, the younger brother is a sly black fox, humph!

Gu Mo still didn’t think Gu Chi would do such a thing, so he enthusiastically shared the cake with his sister.

Tuanzi couldn’t resist the temptation.

"Well, if Gu Chi wants to tattle, you must help Miaomiao stop it~"

"No problem. But he won’t tattle anyway."

Tuanzi happily ate the cake.

[Ancient Martial System: Hmm... Even if Gu Chi doesn’t tattle, you’re eating so much on camera, won’t your big brother still find out?]

Tuanzi: !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

With lips smeared with cream and cake bits, the girl turned to look at the camera, foolishly staring at it. Still with cake in her mouth, her cheeks puffed, eyes wide and shiny, flashed with panic, like a squirrel caught stealing food.

[World famous painting, screenshot!]

[What’s happened to her]

[So she’s suddenly realized there are cameras, if Gu Cheng watches the live stream, he’ll surely notice she’s eating too much cake]

[Pfft hahaha, is this a slip-up]

[She’s been under the camera all the time, got used to it, didn’t react right away]

[Gu Cheng, come catch the little mouse stealing food!]

[Give this little mouse a proper lesson, maybe send her to me to take care of]

[The one in the front, you’re dreaming!]

Tuanzi blinked, suddenly grabbing a box of cream puffs, clutching the unfinished half piece of cake, and dashed away.

Gu Mo: "?"

[Miaomiao: As long as I run fast enough, big brother won’t notice I’m sneaking food]

[Running away and still carrying a box of cream puffs, you truly know yourself]

[Professor Gu bewildered]

[Professor Gu: Why did my sister run away?]
