CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 359: COUSIN: WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Despite recognizing his sister’s cleverness, Gu Cheng had to remind her, "You’re still participating in a livestream. Is it appropriate to take a salary without working?"

The little wagging tail of Tuanzi instantly drooped.

She had gotten too carried away and forgotten she was still on the job.

She is, after all, a conscientious little heroine.

"Then I’ll come back right away and join you guys."

Tuanzi glanced at Si Huai and emphasized again, "Even though I’m really strong and really want to help."

Gu Cheng: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Tuanzi reluctantly said goodbye to Si Huai.

Her eyes, actions, and even words hinted at a lot, but Si Huai, who was always good at analysis, seemed oblivious, urging a few words like ’take care on the way, call when you arrive,’ and nothing else.

Tuanzi reluctantly walked away.

Ultimately unwilling, after walking a few meters, she ran back, looking at Si Huai with expectant shiny eyes, "Cousin, can I ask what you’re investigating? You don’t have to tell me the details, just if there’s anything I can help with."

Thinking of the banners in his sister’s home, Si Huai was quite aware of her goodwill.

"We’ve almost finished looking around, we’re about to head down the mountain."

Tuanzi could only weakly congratulate them, pursing her lips as she left.

On the way to join the main group, she was still sighing.

"Little Gu, do you know what this is called?"

[Ancient Martial System: ?]

"This is called, helping early, or else capable people will handle it themselves."

[Ancient Martial System: ...]

Tuanzi was only dispirited for a moment, after all, it was good that Si Huai could finish his work.

When she joined the main group, seeing Gu Cheng’s serious expression, she cheekily nudged closer to cheer him up, inadvertently exposing the fact that she’d touched a leopard.

Once exposed, she noticed Gu Cheng’s aura change and cowardly retreated to play with the kids.

Nothing special happened that afternoon. After coming down the mountain, everyone did solo interviews and then bid farewell.

Afraid that Little Junior Sister would cling to him to fight for justice, Duan Xiayou slipped away early.

It hadn’t been long, but he’d already adapted to modern life.

Gu Cheng originally planned to take Tuanzi back to Jiang City, but Tuanzi insisted on seeing Si Huai. So he sent a message, suggesting that if Si Huai was still in Jiang City and had free time, they could have a meal together.

Unexpectedly, Si Huai quickly replied.

"As you wish, we can have a meal together," Gu Cheng waved his phone.

Tuanzi quickly snuggled up to him, "As Brother wished too! Didn’t you also want to have a meal with Cousin?"

Gu Cheng reached out and tapped her forehead.

Just then, Jin Chunting also came over, similarly waving his phone.

He was a bit embarrassed, "I didn’t say before, my brother has a private dental clinic in Yun City, I just asked him, he has time for a meal, can you come?"

Gu Cheng had no objections, but... he looked down at Tuanzi, whose mouth was agape, and teasingly asked, "Which one will you choose?"

Both are cousins, could have a meal with either.

Tuanzi scrubbed her little cheeks in indecision.

[Ancient Martial System: I thought you’d choose Si Huai without hesitation, aren’t you afraid of dentists?]

Jin Chunchao is a dentist, the type Tuanzi fears the most.

Even if he’s a cousin, and even if he’s quite handsome, he’s still a dentist.

[Miaomiao: Because Master said, face your fears]

The system didn’t believe her nonsense, deducing that the host was curious about the cousin she hadn’t met.

[Ancient Martial System: Then why not ask about the meal times, maybe they don’t overlap]

Tuanzi quickly asked.

Jin Chunting: "He’s busy tonight, but available tomorrow noon, is that okay? He has a house in Yun City, we can stay there or go to a hotel."

Tuanzi muttered as she hugged her arm, "Facing fears is good, but staying under the same roof with them, isn’t that too much?"

If this dentist cousin is scarier than imagined, she’d be like a sheep walking into the lion’s den, right?

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Gu Cheng’s voice.

"Then we’ll trouble you tonight."

Then Gu Cheng proactively said they had an appointment for the evening, and they went their separate ways.

Once apart, Tuanzi clung to Gu Cheng, ’snuggling’ upward.

Her fair, soft face carried a hint of fear.

"Brother, are we really going to stay over tonight?"

Thinking carefully, she was still quite scared!

Gu Cheng seriously nodded, "I heard what you said, facing fears is good."

He initially thought it wasn’t good to trouble others, but hearing his sister say ’staying under the same roof with a fear’, he changed his mind.

Using this opportunity to make her realize that dentists aren’t scary, otherwise, what if her teeth had issues in the future and she refused to see a doctor?

Coaxing her then would be too late, better to correct it now.

The young director is quite foresighted, but it’s a pity that his sister turned into a wilted little cabbage from fear.

Even sitting in the restaurant and seeing Si Huai, she still appeared wilted.

Many days of handling cases had affected Si Huai’s appearance, but his energetic demeanor remained, so not many cast odd glances his way.

Handing the menu to his sister, he asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong?"

She was wilted when they parted, and wilted again now, regretting not being able to help all afternoon?

After internally acknowledging his sister’s kind heart, he succinctly stated, "We suspect a key suspect died from internal conflict, now we’ve confirmed it."

Translated, they had found bodies on the mountain and even more evidence.

However, he didn’t mention which case it was or the suspect’s identity.

Tuanzi instantly perked up, looking worriedly at Si Huai.

"Internal conflict? Is it that severe? Wouldn’t it be more dangerous for you guys?"

That suggests Si Huai and the others were in considerable danger.

But soon, she realized that even without this case, Si Huai and the others were constantly in danger.

She felt admiration, and a bit regretful that she couldn’t be more helpful. If she could share some of the burdens, perhaps her cousin and colleagues would face less danger.

A clever idea sprang to mind, Tuanzi suggested, "Then I could become a criminal police officer in the future, catching bad guys!"

Si Huai glanced at Gu Cheng and remained silent.

Gu Cheng had already ordered, with more than half being dishes his sister loved, the rest specifically chosen to replenish Si Huai.

When the waiter came over, he handed the menu and left with it before expressing his opinion on this matter.

"You could first understand the standards of the police academy and what they usually study."

Si Huai helpfully explained the requirements and study content.

In simple terms, being skilled alone wasn’t enough, you needed many abilities.

"You can learn more whenever you like, but as for the future, that’s too far off, you haven’t even started primary school yet."

Tuanzi nodded obediently, then couldn’t help but sigh, "So you guys worked really hard in school, and even harder at work."

Weighing her strengths, it seemed she only had skills, lacking other abilities.

[Miaomiao: Sigh, I was too naive. Maybe I’m more suited to be a heroine]

[Ancient Martial System: As long as you know]
