CHAPTER 363: CHAPTER 363: EATING EVEN WITH A LOST TOOTH

It was a small white baby tooth, embedded in the apple like that, with thin streaks of blood at the end of the tooth.

The chubby little face showed confusion at first, then understanding, and finally froze in horror.

She opened her mouth slightly and reached out her small hand to touch it.

"It’s empty!"

A tooth was missing below, and it started to whistle!

"Waa waa waa!"

Tuanzi, holding her tooth pitifully, went to find Gu Cheng.

"Big Bro..."

As soon as she spoke, Tuanzi stopped.

"Big Bro?" Was she referring to Big Brother?

[Ancient Martial System: Pfft]

Immersed in sadness, Tuanzi had no intention of bothering with the system’s laughter.

Her dark, moist eyes were soaked in tears as she pitifully grabbed the corner of Gu Cheng’s clothes, speaking slowly and clearly.

"Big Bro, my tooth, it fell out!"

In fact, even before she spoke, Gu Cheng had already seen it.

He was also a bit flustered and asked Tuanzi to open her mouth.

"Ah!"

Gu Cheng looked carefully, didn’t see any major issues, but still felt panicked inside.

He couldn’t exactly remember the experiences of losing teeth in childhood; now seeing his little sister, who was just over five, shedding a tooth with tears in her eyes made him anxious too.

Luckily, there was a dentist in the family who could be consulted for questions.

Jin Chunting and Jin Chunchao had already heard the commotion and came out.

With Tuanzi ’waa waaa’-ing loudly, it was hard not to notice.

Seeing Tuanzi crying with tears in her eyes, Jin Chunting also felt bad and tugged at his brother’s arm, "Quick, check it out for her."

Jin Chunchao glanced at teary-eyed Tuanzi, turned, and went to Jin Chunting’s room, which was actually a study with some equipment.

He took a small device for dental checks, disinfected it, and approached Tuanzi with no expression.

He had seen many kids like his cousin crying because of lost teeth.

Of course, maybe because it was his cousin, it felt a little pitiful and a little cute while she cried ’waa waa’.

"Open your mouth."

Tuanzi was busy, holding an apple in one hand, protecting the small baby tooth on it, and covering her mouth with the other hand, shaking her head vigorously.

"Waa waa waa!"

Why would she have to see a dentist when her tooth fell out? Could there be anything sadder in the world?

Seeing her tears drip onto her small, fleshy hand, Jin Chunchao didn’t say anything, his cold eyebrows sweeping over, intending to simply take the apple.

Tuanzi was reluctant to give it up.

"My tooth!"

"No snatching, just want to take a look."

Only then did Tuanzi reluctantly hand over the apple.

Gu Cheng had a serious expression, "Aren’t the teeth supposed to be replaced at six? She’s just over five."

Jin Chunchao didn’t reply immediately, he inspected it.

"The shedding surface is eroded as if by a moth, this is naturally shedding baby tooth, different from sudden root fracture, no need to worry."

He handed the apple over to Gu Cheng.

Though his tone was still cold, the professional words reassured Gu Cheng a lot.

Gu Cheng took the apple, seriously observing the baby tooth on it.

From Tuanzi’s perspective, it looked like Big Brother was going to eat her apple!

"Waa waa waa, my apple."

Jin Chunchao: "..." With a tooth fallen out, still thinking about food?

Later, under the persuasion of Gu Cheng, Jin Chunting, and the system, Tuanzi reluctantly opened her mouth to let Jin Chunchao check.

During the check-up, she closed her eyes tightly, her thick eyelashes trembling non-stop.

As if as long as she didn’t look, she wouldn’t be scared.

However, reality told her, not seeing was even scarier!

Every once in a while, she’d muster the courage to open her eyes, see the dentist so close, get nervous and close them, then open them up a few seconds later.

Jin Chunchao, examining her: "..."

Very soon, the result came out.

"No problem."

Jin Chunchao said blandly: "Rinse your mouth with saltwater, then continue to eat and drink as usual, but don’t lick or touch the spot where the new tooth is coming in."

The hand that just reached out quickly drew back, and Tuanzi blinked her eyes, watching him with a bit of fear and expectancy.

"So can I still eat... eat an apple..."

Jin Chunchao was about to nod, then heard this little cousin reciting a long list of dishes, almost all of which were meat dishes, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Then, Tuanzi seized the moment to list a pile of dessert names.

"Oh, eat less sweet food."

Jin Chunchao ruthlessly shattered Tuanzi’s fantasies, "I’ll make a list of what you should eat more of and what not to eat."

Tuanzi’s sadness flowed again from the corners of her eyes.

When she saw the list that Jin Chunchao made, she felt as if life held no hope.

"Big bro, I don’t want it, I want to eat!"

Gu Cheng: "..."

Jin Chunting turned around, chuckled a few times, then turned back seriously, "You can say it slowly."

If she spoke too quickly, all the syllables were wrong, hahaha!

Tuanzi raised her small fist in anger, put it down again, and slowly walked over to Gu Cheng, hugging his arm, trying to use her tears to make him give in.

"Mousse! Pudding! Once a week!"

This was her last concession!

To make Big Brother agree, she pitifully said, "It’s so sad to lose a tooth, it’s even sadder without food, Big Bro, waa waa waa!"

However, by this time, she was almost out of tears and could only lift her chubby arm to wipe her eyes as if the tears had been there.

"Miaomiao was startled," she pouted, "The tooth suddenly fell out, waa waa waa!"

Gu Cheng was also startled, and seeing his little sister so sad, he felt a bit soft-hearted.

At this time, Jin Chunchao, who was cleaning up the tools, didn’t even turn his head, "It can’t be suddenly, since it naturally fell out, there must have been signs. Didn’t you notice?"

Tuanzi was very sure, "No signs! Absolutely none!"

She even nodded her little head with self-assurance as if convincing herself would convince others.

Gu Cheng almost believed it.

Whether a tooth is loose is something only the person involved knows best. He usually paid great attention to his sister’s condition; if her teeth were loose, she would’ve shown it in her eating, drinking, and playing.

However, now thinking back, he couldn’t find any oddities. His sister was always very cheerful, as if this tooth had just spontaneously fallen out.

Noticing his look, Tuanzi continued to cling to his arm, acting spoiled.

"Big Brother, waa waa waa, you should pity Miaomiao, losing a tooth is already very sad."

Earlier, when Tuanzi was sadly crying, the system also softened. But now, it decided to present facts.

[Ancient Martial System: Whether there were no signs, you can have a look]

It replayed some scenes in Tuanzi’s mind.

Scene one, Tuanzi, while gnawing on a chicken leg, stopped halfway, touched her mouth through her cheek with confusion.

Then Gu Yunmu’s voice came from outside the dining room, "Smells so good, Miaomiao, what are you eating? Can you share some with me?"

Tuanzi didn’t have time to be confused, frantically gnawed away, fearing Gu Yunmu would snatch the chicken leg from her.

Scene two, Tuanzi and Gu Mo happily eating sweets together.

She used a spoon to scoop mango mousse, and after a few bites, her little brow furrowed; just as she was about to touch her cheek, Gu Mo handed a little cream pudding cake to Tuanzi’s mouth, and Tuanzi ’chomped’ and ate it, eyes smiling, ignoring her prior confusion.

There were many similar scenes.

[Ancient Martial System: Clearly there were early signs, you were just too happy eating each time that you ignored them]

Tuanzi paused, feeling guilty.

On second thought, Big Brother couldn’t see these scenes. Could she just soothe Big Brother?
