Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 610: Catching Tuanzi

When the master was mentioned, Tuanzi got energized.

She was all smiles, "He might come down the mountain soon. By then, Miaomiao will treat you to a meal, the master will pay, and you can order whatever you like!"

She was so happy because she had leveled up the martial arts master to over eighty levels, with only three senior brothers left to come over. The reputation value was increasing rapidly with their help.

Soon everyone could be reunited.

As the reunion drew near, she began to fantasize about what would happen after the reunion.

Mom and Dad would come back, and Second Brother might cry on the spot, while Big Brother would hide under the covers to cry. She could also tell her parents about life in ancient times. They still had a long future ahead.

If the master came, he would definitely cleverly bring some ancient gold, silver, and jade artifacts, right? You know, when the eldest and second senior brothers came over, they were dirt poor, but when the third senior brother came, the things he brought were worth several houses in Jiang City. Instantly, the school became wealthy, and there was no longer a worry about going hungry.

With a wealthy master coming, of course she would treat, and the master would foot the bill.

Thinking about this, Tuanzi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"The master must be very wealthy."

Her joy was evident, easily infectious, and Jin Shilin sincerely wished her, "That day will come soon."

Tuanzi was so happy that she proactively went to cuddle with him.

More of such wonderful blessings, please!

In social interactions, one must maintain an appropriate social distance. This is a rule Jin Shilin strictly followed.

This was a rule he set for himself, and outsiders were unaware.

But now, being hugged by a cousin he only met a few times, breaking the usual social distance, he surprisingly didn’t mind, only feeling like it was an expression of affection.

He rarely had such affectionate gestures with family members.

His parents were too busy, with a significant portion of their work needing confidentiality, leaving them with little time to accompany him. Jin Shilin matured early, knowing the responsibilities on his parents’ shoulders from a young age, never complaining, and striving to take care of himself, along with looking after his big brother.

Because they stayed in the same city as their parents, they didn’t have as much time with their grandfather as Jin Chunting’s brothers.

However, he later realized that being raised at his grandfather’s knees didn’t seem like a very fortunate thing either.

Sometimes being forced to mature early is better than having one’s life controlled by others.

Snuggled next to Tuanzi, Jin Shilin curiously asked, "What kind of person is your master?"

He was genuinely curious because, from his cousin to the senior brothers, their temperaments were truly peculiar, especially that East Gate East.

The first time they met, he was clearly a crybaby, openly expressing his emotions, but when they met today, his demeanor had completely changed.

Being able to tame these disciples, his cousin’s master must be a legendary figure.

Are all reclusive masters so mysterious?

"Most of the time, Miaomiao really likes him."

Tuanzi wrinkled her nose, "But sometimes, Miaomiao thinks the master is a bit naughty."

Thinking about some past events, Tuanzi couldn’t help but pat the sofa with her little paw.

"He deliberately set up a big basket, placed pine nut candies inside, and when Miaomiao went to pick them up, he’d pull the rope, trapping Miaomiao inside. Isn’t that naughty?"

The elegantly mannered man froze.

How come the scene the cousin described seemed so familiar?

He used to watch TV as a child.

Watching TV made the wait for his parents to come home after work not feel so long.

Occasionally, the TV would show scenes of catching small animals, setting up a basket, laying some food, and when the animal went in to eat, they’d pull the rope and catch a small animal. That master, however, captured a disciple.

Thinking about his little cousin diving into the basket for pine nut candy made him want to laugh.

However, he had a premonition that if he laughed out loud, the cousin would be very upset.

"A bit over the top," Jin Shilin couldn’t help but ask, "Are pine nut candies really that good?"

From Tuanzi’s description, she knew it was a trap but still dived in just for the pine nut candy.

"Delicious," Tuanzi said. In ancient times, pine nut candy was her favorite, "It’s especially fragrant, sweet, and chewy..."

Saying the words ’chewy,’ Tuanzi suddenly looked grateful. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Thankfully, Miaomiao hadn’t lost her baby teeth then. Otherwise, while eating, the candy might have pulled her teeth out. Wouldn’t that be terrifying?"

Her small mouth formed a round circle.

Jin Shilin couldn’t hold it in, fantasizing about that scene, turned his head, and snuck a laugh.

"Cousin, you’re sneaking a laugh!"

Tuanzi patted her little ears in annoyance, "Miaomiao has sharp ears and can hear even the smallest sounds!"

Jin Shilin had to apologize.

"Hmph," Tuanzi glanced at the pastries on the coffee table, "I’ll forgive you for the sake of the pastries."

Then, she deliberately raised her voice, "If Cousin comes to see Miaomiao often and brings those super sweet pastries, Miaomiao will forgive you no matter what you do."

For the sake of candy, she’s that unscrupulous.

"I probably will be very often."

Jin Shilin slightly restrained his smile.

"My job has been transferred to Jiang City."

"Huh?"

Tuanzi blinked blankly, "But before, Wen Li said your job was in a very faraway city, at the company’s headquarters. Jiang City isn’t the headquarters, right?"

She didn’t quite understand these things, but it sounded like a job at the headquarters should be better?

"After the transfer, my position will be higher," Jin Shilin explained simply, "The working hours won’t be as long, and there will be fewer business trips..."

Tuanzi counted on her fingers and finally reached a conclusion.

"Ah, Cousin, you’re finally willing to take a good rest!"

When she first met this cousin, she felt he must be a workaholic. Later, she confirmed it with Wen Li, and it was just as she suspected.

"You can never earn enough money," Tuanzi stood on the sofa, patting his shoulder with her little paw, "You have to balance... Grandma?"

"Balance work and rest," Jin Shilin couldn’t help but finish the sentence for her.

"Yes, yes, balance work and rest. I just learned it yesterday," Tuanzi sheepishly touched her face, "Slept and forgot half of it."

Being reminded by a child to balance work and rest, Jin Shilin couldn’t help but reflect.

However, he also admitted, "The last time I visited my brother, I found out that he secretly moved to Jiang City just to avoid being frequently called home by Grandpa, and he told no one."

Tuanzi was surprised and opened her mouth wide.

"Miaomiao has another cousin in Jiang City? But Miaomiao didn’t know."

Jin Shilin couldn’t help but sigh, "He’s quite the homebody, hardly leaves the house. Last time I visited him, he was enduring a stomach flu, just..."

Tuanzi understood in an instant.

Jin Shilin chose to transfer to the branch not only for the promotion, more freedom at work, and fewer trips, but also to take care of his brother.

"Your brother is a bit irresponsible," Tuanzi deliberately shook her head with an old-fashioned air, "Health is very important. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital."

She paused for a moment, mimicking how Second Brother once recited lines, with a deep tone, "Leave the professional tasks to the professionals."
