CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 222: THE GREEDY LITTLE HEROINE

There was a scratching sound at the door, and if there were a few meows, it would be a little kitten protesting being locked out.

Tuanzi covered her ears and ran out to the balcony.

"The world is big and full of wonders."

[Ancient Martial System: It should be so many brothers, all kinds of people are there]

Tuanzi suspected the system was making fun of her.

[Ancient Martial System: How could I make fun of you? Look, you’ve finally met all your cousins, congratulations]

Tuanzi noticed the system had become much more lively.

However, she felt quite proud of herself. Having been back for a few months, she had almost met all the relatives on her dad’s side.

She counted everyone’s ranking on her fingers.

Second uncle Gu Rui’s eldest son, Gu Peihai, is the oldest, her eldest cousin. He’s a triple award-winning Film Emperor, handsome with great acting skills but zero life skills. Ask him to do chores, and it’s an Alaska mess wherever he goes.

Third uncle Gu Zheng’s eldest son, Gu Mo, ranks second, her second cousin. He’s a young professor, naturally dazed, like her, loves sweets, and is very easy to bully. Every time she bullies Gu Mo brother, her conscience hurts. However, she still wants to bully him next time.

Little uncle Gu Yu’s eldest son, Gu Qize, ranks third, her third cousin, currently the president of Runze Hotel Group, very wealthy, but miserably working for his father. They’ve only met once, and it’s obvious he has severe OCD and pays great attention to detail, completely opposite to his brother.

Her oldest brother Gu Cheng ranks fourth, just a few months younger than Gu Qize, a super talented director whom she adores!

Third uncle’s second son, Gu Chi, ranks fifth, her fourth cousin, a young painter, but with a dark belly, likes to trick people. However, she can also trick him back.

Second uncle’s second son, Gu Wangchao, ranks sixth, her fifth cousin, an independent musician with great singing and cooking skills, a little self-conscious, but finally reconciled with the eldest cousin.

Little uncle’s second son, Gu Yunmu, the one who called her fat is her sixth cousin, ranks seventh. He started a game company in university, which became somewhat well-known after graduation and even invested in a gaming club. He’s handsome but oblivious, and even without malice, his words sound awful, annoying!

Her handsome and shy second brother ranks eighth, just a month younger than Gu Yunmu.

And she, the ’Number One Under Heaven’ Little Heroine, ranks ninth among the cousins, being the youngest. While everyone’s done with university, she hasn’t even started elementary school.

Tuanzi counted on her fingers and realized she lost completely.

"Why are they all so old?"

[Ancient Martial System: You should ask your parents, they had you too late]

If the eldest cousin Gu Peihai married earlier, maybe his child could be as old as the host. But with Gu Peihai’s personality and ambition, marriage is a long way off.

Tuanzi squatted on the balcony, rubbing her face, then stood up, with hands behind her back, pacing back and forth to digest food.

"Small is no problem," Tuanzi said confidently, "Miaomiao will also grow tall in the future, and age too."

[Ancient Martial System: Then they’ll be even older]

Tuanzi: "..." Just hate being born too late!

Having almost digested enough, she wanted to take a bath but suddenly thought of something.

"Oh right, it seems that the eldest brother and others never mention uncles and aunts, doesn’t Miaomiao have any cousins?"

[Ancient Martial System: You have two uncles and two aunts, as for why they were not mentioned, I think you should ask your eldest brother or second uncle]

Tuanzi wrinkled her nose.

"Feels like a story Miaomiao doesn’t want to know."

The eldest brother never mentions it.

Moreover, this is her fourth program appearance, the eldest and second brothers are celebrities, and her parents were well-known before, her return was quite the sensation, uncles and aunts should’ve heard the news.

Even so, they haven’t reached out actively. And the eldest brother won’t let her visit elders.

She rubbed her face in frustration.

"So complicated!"

The system glanced at her, thinking, the host is so busy and curious about modern society, wanting to try everything, while never really bonding with her mother’s side relatives. This complication might be forgotten after a nap.

After the bath, she changed into pajamas, tilted her head, and continued counting on her fingers.

"No, almost forgot, Miaomiao has a little aunt too."

She remembered little aunt Gu Jin and little uncle Gu Yu are twins, but born later, becoming the youngest sister.

Grandpa at the time couldn’t bear to part with the kids, so he bought five villas in the neighborhood, living in the eldest family’s house, with the rest having one each.

Among them, second uncle’s and third uncle’s family moved away for many years, only coming back when grandpa was seriously ill, and now they just stay here for their retirement.

Little uncle and little aunt stayed elsewhere to develop and rarely returned. However, since it’s a gift from the elders, they routinely have the house maintained, not renting it out.

[Ancient Martial System: Right, your little aunt also has a son, another cousin. So in total, you have nine cousins]

"No cousin sisters?"

The system answered in silence.

Tuanzi rubbed her cheeks.

With so many brothers, she wished for a sweet and soft sister. Oh, she’s such a greedy Little Heroine. Tuanzi shook her head in self-criticism, then rolled onto the bed a few times, ready for sleep.

The scratching sound outside the door was gone. The wise and mighty eldest brother had taken that annoying cousin away.

Just as Tuanzi was about to fall asleep, the system suddenly spoke.

[Ancient Martial System: Wanting a sister is not impossible, your grandpa also has brothers, and among their grandchildren, there are daughters, they count as your cousins. Although distant, they are still sisters]

Sleepy, Tuanzi didn’t hear clearly, hummed a bit, and soon slept soundly.

Morning.

Tuanzi wriggled in bed under the quilt, like a caterpillar.

[Ancient Martial System: Breakfast is ready, it’s time to get up and eat]

Tuanzi murmured in response.

[Ancient Martial System: You didn’t do your morning exercises today]

Tuanzi wriggled again.

Even the diligent Little Heroine feels like being lazy once in a while.

[Ancient Martial System: Master said, if you don’t get up and practice martial arts, he’ll take away your pine-nut candy]

"Leave Miaomiao’s pine-nut candy alone!"

Tuanzi snapped awake, angrily getting up, like a fierce beast guarding its food, menacingly glaring ahead.

But there was no one there.

"Oh, this setup," she realized she was back in the modern age and couldn’t see the master who loved to tease her, "Little Gu, you tricked me!"

[Ancient Martial System: Congratulations, you finally realized ’I’ = Miaomiao.]

It had always hoped the host would stop referring to herself like that, but she only forgot in moments of urgency.

It’s not that self-reference is bad, just too cute, making it hard to speak harshly.

Tuanzi pouted, grumpily changing clothes and heading out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a tuft of blue hair.

Classic reappears.

Tuanzi instinctively backed up, ready to close the door.

The blue-haired person, like an excited cat, waved a paw, "Brother Gu Cheng asked me to wake you up."

Tuanzi sighed with relief, it seems this sixth cousin wasn’t always shooting his mouth off.

Gu Yunmu: "So you sleep in too, but on the show, you got up early for the effect, didn’t you?"

Tuanzi: ▼_▼

Ancient Martial System: He’s a good-looking guy, why does he have such a mouth?
