Chapter 35: Honesty

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

The man’s face was cold. His beautiful eyes were covered in frost.

Those who did not know would think that he was angry. Those who knew the situation could barely tell that he was nervous.

Gu Che was the one who didn’t know anything. Seeing his cold expression, he was always on guard against him saying anything offensive.

Gu Miaomiao was hugging her brother’s arm and could naturally sense that his body was stiff.

His limbs were stiff. Was he nervous?

Her big, bright black eyes immediately curved into crescents, and a sweet smile appeared on her fair and tender little face.

“Big brother, don’t be nervous. Think about it slowly. There’s no rush.”

Gu Che’s eyes widened. Big brother was nervous? Don’t joke around!

Gu Cheng was struggling.

Little dough thought for a moment and told him about her experience. From the car accident to the transmigration, from being weak to practicing martial arts and finally returning.

“Let me tell you a secret. Mom and dad will come back if I go on more programs to promote ancient martial arts.”

Gu Che might seem cold and unapproachable, but he was a sentimental person. In contrast, Gu Cheng was very rational.

He had watched the live stream and now he heard his sister say so. He had analyzed his sister’s experience.

She fell into the water and was rescued by someone who lived in seclusion in the forest. Other than that, she was learning martial arts from an expert and knew nothing about the world.

As for her thought that she had transmigrated, she had been living in the mountains all this time and had not come into contact with modern electronic technology. It was indeed easy for her to think that she was in ancient times.

Transmigration was too illusory, but his idea was reasonable.

That was what Gu Cheng’s rationality told him.

However, Gu Cheng couldn’t bring himself to say that when he looked into those big, bright eyes.

Reason and emotion contradicted each other.

“Don’t you believe in Miaomiao?”

The little dough puffed up her cheeks, frowned, and squinted at him with an expression that said, ‘If you don’t believe Miaomiao, Miaomiao won’t play with you anymore’.

His emotion instantly prevailed.

“I believe you.”

The little dough immediately showed a bright smile like sweet candy.

“Since you believe me,” little dough leaned over affectionately, pretending not to notice that Gu Cheng’s body was still stiff, “Are you still going to stop Miaomiao from going on the show?”

Her small mouth pouted.

“Miaomiao wants to go on the show, and I have a reason to go on the show. Do you want to respect Miaomiao’s decision or continue to protect me in your own way?”

The problem came again.

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and looked into the big eyes that were full of smiles.

“Tell me.”

Gu Cheng was silent for a long time before he said, “It has to be a carefully-selected show. It has to be a show without any danger.”

“Alright.”

Little dough agreed but she didn’t let go. She continued to hold his arm.

Gu Che was dumbfounded looking from the side.

Did big brother change his mind?

Did big brother change his mind?

He looked at the sky. It was not raining red.

Gu Cheng saw little dough sticking to him and he pushed her away carefully, “I’m done. I’m leaving.”

“No!”

Little dough entangled with him domineeringly, “This is only the first question. There are still many more questions!”

Gu Cheng’s phoenix eyes widened a little as if he had been frightened.

“The second question,” little dough quickly said, “Why don’t you agree with the second brother participating in the talent show?”

Gu Cheng was stuck for words.

At the side, Gu Che immediately exploded, “Why? He thinks it’s embarrassing to be an idol. He just wants me to act in stage plays. He’s simply a…”

A chubby hand reached over and covered his mouth.

Little dough turned her head around and smiled, “Second brother, you said you won’t interrupt.”

Gu Che, ‘I feel like my sister’s smile is murderous. Is it an illusion?’

The top celebrity nodded obediently.

He tried his best not to interrupt, but his big brother was too infuriating sometimes.

Little dough looked at Gu Cheng eagerly, “Big brother, answer quickly.”

The big brother didn’t want to answer. He wanted to leave.

He tried to stand up and leave.

Little dough, who had expected this, immediately used both her hands and feet. She wrapped her hands around his arms and her legs around him.

“Don’t leave!”

Gu Cheng was worried that he would hurt her, so he didn’t dare to struggle too hard.

They confronted each other. In the end, Gu Cheng was still pressed down on the sofa.

Little dough hung around his neck in an aggressive manner.

“If you don’t answer, you’re not allowed to leave!”

Her chubby face was pressed against his thin face.

“If you don’t want to answer, then I’ll let you choose from the answers on the internet. You just have to nod or shake your head.”

Gu Cheng agreed reluctantly.

Gu Che was curious, “Miaomiao, when did you go online? I don’t think you’ve used my phone either.”

Little dough was guilty.

In fact, the ancient martial art system had helped her to extract the comments from the netizens.

Her chubby back revealed a sense of guilt.

Gu Che reached out and poked her.

Little dough turned around, bluffing and howling, “You said you won’t interrupt.”

Gu Che raised his hands in surrender.

Little dough turned around slowly and met Gu Cheng’s eyes obediently.

“It’s said on the internet that you don’t want the second brother to participate in the talent show because you think he’s very outstanding. He’ll definitely be popular and become a top celebrity.”

Gu Che’s eyes widened and widened again.

“If he becomes a top celebrity, he’ll have a lot of fans and obsessive fans. They will hurt the second brother, right?”

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

Little dough gently pushed him.

He nodded slightly, not even looking at Gu Che.

Gu Che was dumbfounded.

The top celebrity’s ears suddenly turned red, so red that it looked like it was about to drip blood.

He stood up and looked straight at Gu Cheng.

“Really? Are you only worried about the obsessive fans?”

He felt that it was ridiculous, but meanwhile, he found it possible.

The obsessive fans had led to their family’s tragedy. So it was normal for his eldest brother to be more sensitive in this aspect.

However, he didn’t tell him at all. He was cold and almost used a commanding tone to ask him to reject the invitation to the show, study obediently, and become a stage play actor.

“You’re lying.”

Gu Che’s face darkened.

“Not only did you not let me participate in the talent show, but you also didn’t want me to take on any TV series or movies and only be a stage play actor. You’ve planned my future!”

Gu Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn’t. In the end, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

“Hey, big brother. Tell me.”

Little dough said anxiously, “Not being honest will cause a lot of misunderstandings. We’re a family. What can’t you tell us?”

The word ‘family’ moved Gu Cheng. His eyelashes trembled slightly.

“Also,” little dough came closer and raised her little head, “Big brother is always like this, Miaomiao might misunderstand big brother one day and dislike you. However, I really like you now because I know that you’re actually concerned about me!”

She hugged Gu Cheng’s arm and shook it.

The man with a cold face looked up at her and then at his brother, who was waiting for an answer in an aggressive manner.

“You like acting.”

“And then?” Gu Che let out a ‘hmph’.

“Whether you’re an idol or an actor, you’ll be popular. You’ll meet extreme people.”

The top celebrity’s neck was red.

Big brother is so scary when he’s suddenly honest. Why is he speaking so mushy?

“Of course. I’ll be popular no matter what I do!”

Gu Cheng didn’t deny this, which was why he was worried that he would meet obsessive fans after entering the industry and what happened to their parents.

“Stage plays are relatively niche. You can act, but you won’t be…”

Gu Che interrupted him with his neck red.

“Then why did you ruin an offer from a TV drama?”
