Chapter 20: Tai Chi

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Every guest’s room had a fixed camera position. To ensure the privacy of the guests, they would decide whether to turn it off after they were ready to rest.

When Gu Che was about to enter the room with the little dough in his arms, the staff couldn’t help but remind him, “Teacher Gu, you must turn the machine on early tomorrow morning.

Gu Che responded nonchalantly.

The staff was worried that Gu Che would go against his words. This top celebrity was capable, but he was a little headstrong.

He could suffer during filming and be willing to practice hard before acting, but he would be more self-centered when it came to variety shows.

There was a plagiarism incident in the previous talent show, “Journey to the Stars”. The people involved didn’t mind, but Gu Che wanted to take it seriously. Later on, someone who should have been eliminated was promoted at the last minute. The show group asked Gu Che to give the contestant a ‘direct pass card’, but he immediately stopped recording.

The staff looked at Gu Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, you must remember to turn the machine on. And if you don’t get up at seven o ‘clock, we’ll knock on the door.”

Little dough was resting her little face on her second brother’s shoulder. Her cheeks squirmed. When she heard this, she yawned a little.

“Miaomiao knows.”

The staff was relieved.

[Hahaha, the staff looks relieved.]

[I guess Miaomiao is more reliable than her brother to him.]

[Gu Che is more willful.]

Even the netizens believed in little dough more.

However, when they reached the room, little dough straightened up and asked in confusion, “What machine? What switch?”

[Pfft! Hahaha!]

[Staff: I hoped for the wrong person after all!]

While waiting for his sister to wash up, Gu Che had already decided to hire a female assistant.

He had two assistants and two bodyguards.

The work assistant and the two bodyguards were hired by the company. The former would only contact him when there was work, while the latter would only appear when he wanted to attend events.

Only his personal assistant, Xiao Sun, was personally hired by him.

This time, he wanted to hire a female assistant to take care of Miaomiao. If Miaomiao often participated in shows, bringing a female assistant with her would be more convenient, especially when everyone in their family was male.

Gu Che got his phone from the show group. He had wanted to send a message to his manager, but he decided to send a message to Xiao Sun after some thought and ask him to look for a suitable candidate.

Later in the day, the brother and sister were both tired and curled up in bed.

Little dough had been busy the whole day, and only now did she remember that she had a biological eldest brother.

“Second brother, what kind of person is the eldest brother?”

“Old-fashioned. Workaholic,” Gu Che replied casually.

Gu Cheng, who was watching the live stream, was speechless.

[I heard that the two brothers don’t have a good relationship. Is that true?]

[Wasn’t there a rumor that Director Gu didn’t want his brother to participate in the talent show? I think there’s a conflict in their career plans.]

[No. The point is, do you guys think Director Gu is watching the live broadcast right now?]

[I don’t think so. According to the rumors in the industry, Director Gu is a very serious person. He’s not flustered no matter what he’s faced with. He’s just like the novel’s description- a calm and self-restrained man.]

[Miaomiao’s matter has been blown up, but he hasn’t shown up until now. From this, we can be sure that this workaholic is very calm and unmoved.]

[Isn’t he cold-blooded?]

Gu Che was still badmouthing the eldest brother.

He had forgotten entirely that the machine was not turned off. He started to talk to his sister about their brother.

“Do you know how stubborn he is? As long as it’s a task assigned to him, he’ll work even if he has to stay up all night and vomit blood.”

“He fell sick last year and we tried to persuade him to take a day off. However, he insisted on working despite his illness. Ultimately, he fainted on set and was sent to the hospital.”

At the mention of his workaholic brother, Gu Che was simply full of complaints.

“He even doesn’t want me to be an idol.”

Gu Che only revealed a trace of grievance that night.

Little dough was nestled in his arms. When she heard his words, she patted his head again and again.

After a while, she giggled and said, “Second brother, your hair is messy.”

Gu Che subconsciously protected his hair. On second thought, he realized that it was time to sleep. Who would care about his hairstyle?

[I’m sure that Gu Che forgot to turn the machine off.]

[I’ve unknowingly heard a lot of things.]

[No one would complain about a brother like him.]

[Don’t you guys feel that there’s concern hidden in every complaint?]

[This pair of brothers probably don’t know how to communicate. Gu Che cares about his brother but he doesn’t know what to do, only daring to complain in private. Whereas his brother didn’t allow him to participate in the talent show, but I think there’s a reason for that too.]

[Hey, now that you’ve mentioned it. I suddenly remember that Gu Che was chased by obsessive fans a while ago, right? There are many obsessive fans after he becomes famous. Back then, their parents were also…]

[I think I understand what Director Gu worries about.]

[Sigh, this pair of brothers!]

It was six in the morning.

Little dough woke up on time and found Gu Che still sleeping. She climbed out of bed alone and ran to the cubicle to change.

A few minutes later, she walked out of the room with sleepy eyes.

[Miaomiao, don’t go. I haven’t seen enough.]

[Are you stupid? the live broadcast room is about to switch shots.]

As soon as Gu Miaomiao left the room, a camera was aimed at her. Their group’s live broadcast room immediately changed the camera.

“Good morning, auntie.”

Little dough couldn’t even open her eyes, but she insisted on walking out. Everyone was curious about what she was going to do.

Aunt Lin quickly stopped her and started to braid her hair.

“I can do it on my own,” little dough yawned and tried hard to open her big black eyes, “Miaomiao needs to practice martial arts.”

Aunt Lin thought she was joking.

The staff and audience were in high spirits.

[I didn’t get up early in the morning in vain.]

[Is the little heroine going to make a comeback?]

[I’ve already started recording.]

[Sure enough, the early bird gets the worm.]

Aunt Lin helped the little dough to coil two small buns.

Little dough thanked her and began to warm up in the yard. Five minutes later, she ran out of the yard.

[???]

[Didn’t you want to practice martial arts? Why are you running?]

[The cameramen are probably stunned too.]

The cameramen were indeed dumbfounded, but they remembered the director’s instructions and quickly carried their equipment to chase after her.

The little dough ran quite fast, but her legs were relatively short, so she didn’t seem to run very fast.

The cameramen could barely keep her up.

Ten minutes later.

The cameramen were a little tired.

Twenty minutes later, the cameramen started to pant. The machine was really heavy.

Thirty minutes later, the cameramen dragged their feet.

Little dough was still running unhurriedly. She ran one round around the village and then started the second round.

[Oh my god, she doesn’t seem to be sweating at all!]

[It’s been half an hour, but she’s still running.]

[I suddenly feel a little ashamed. I haven’t exercised since I graduated from college. I can’t even compare to a child now.]

[I’ve already quietly crawled out of bed and prepared to go out for a run.]

[No matter what, I can’t lose to a child.]

[I won’t lose either!]

The audience camping in this live-streaming room was inexplicably ignited with the desire to win, and they began to exercise for the first time.

Just as the cameramen were about to fall down one by one, the little dough ran back to the yard slowly and twisted her neck and wrists.

[It’s here! It’s time to get excited!]

[I’m ready to record the screen.]

[Is it Xingyi Fist?]

[I just want to see Miaomiao’s Xingyi Fist. Her fists don’t look soft at all. They’re powerful!]

Under the camera, the little dough curled her five fingers and naturally clenched them. Then, she completed the commencing form before Wild Horse Separates Mane form and White Crane Spread Wings form. She did the forms unhurriedly.

[???]

[Why are you so slow?]

[This position looks so familiar.]

[Isn’t this Tai Chi? It’s a compulsory course for my first-year physical education class!]

[I remember that Tai Chi is on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage list.]

[Oh no, my body is already moving.]

[It’s been so many years since I graduated. I thought I’d forgotten, but I didn’t.]

No one had expected that people from different regions of the country would inexplicably follow a little girl to practice Tai Chi on this ordinary morning.
