Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Qize: My Little Sister Is Adorable
There were few guests, and others were responsible for greeting them, so Tuanzi got permission to climb up and sit across from Gu Qize, holding a glass of juice, smiling as she watched him dine.
Gu Qize didn’t feel awkward in the slightest.
He glanced at her glass, "Is it cold?"
"Yeah, it’s better cold."
Gu Qize pursed his lips, "Drinking cold things in winter might upset your stomach."
Tuanzi shook her head nonchalantly.
"Miaomiao’s constitution is really strong, she won’t get sick. Everyone gets sick, but Miaomiao won’t get sick."
According to the system, she was sick for a long time when she initially fell into the river during the crossing. But since she started learning martial arts, her health has soared, and she hasn’t been sick again.
Those almond-shaped eyes watched the little girl shaking her head for a while before finally looking away.
However, midway through the meal, Gu Qize ordered an extra glass of juice, specifically emphasizing that it should be warm.
Soon, a waiter brought the juice over.
"Give it to her."
Gu Qize didn’t even look up.
Upon receiving the warm juice, Tuanzi said, "...Qize is really insistent."
"Alright, alright," she showed a soft smile, "Then Miaomiao will drink the warm one."
Plus, getting an extra glass of juice for free is a good thing!
Unless it’s a business meal, Gu Qize doesn’t like to talk while eating in private. The reason is simple, he always feels that talking while dining affects the cleanliness of the food.
But the little sister opposite was chattering away with her sweet and milky voice, and as he listened, Gu Qize unconsciously spoke a few more words.
After finishing the seafood noodles, he looked up to see his little sister lying bored on the dining table, her cheeks squished together like pancakes.
Very cute, and makes one want to give her a pinch.
But the issue now is, "Even though the dining table is quite clean, your face still needs to be washed."
Tuanzi, who was bored and face-down: "..."
Under Gu Qize’s gaze, she had no choice but to stand up like an obedient chick, drooping her head as she headed to the bathroom.
Very soon, she heard footsteps behind her. Turning back dejectedly, she found that Gu Qize had also followed.
"Are you going to the bathroom too?"
"To help you wash your face."
Tuanzi smiled unconsciously, "Okay, okay, Miaomiao doesn’t have to do it herself."
Saying that, she happily rubbed her cheeks, squeezing and squishing the soft flesh, looking very pleasant to touch.
Gu Qize took a glance, "Now your hands need washing too."
Tuanzi’s face-rubbing stopped.
Upon reaching the bathroom, she stood on a small bench, first sticking out her little hands, watching Gu Qize help her wash them.
After washing her hands, Gu Qize instructed her again, "Lower your head."
Tuanzi cooperatively bowed her head, and soon her face was all moist, a disposable washcloth wettened and rubbed on her face.
The technique was okay, quite comfortable, Tuanzi thought with a smile on her lips.
Suddenly, she felt a light poke on her cheek, very soft.
She opened her eyes in confusion and asked, "Qize, did you just poke my cheek?"
Gu Qize remained silent, wiped her little face clean, and let her leave.
Tuanzi tilted her head. She wanted to scratch her little head, but seeing Gu Qize’s gaze fall on her washed little hands, she awkwardly put them down and soon forgot her confusion.
But the system and the audience saw Gu Qize’s action.
[Tsk tsk, some people appear to be stern and cold CEOs on the outside, but deep down...]
[The moment he poked her cheek, his expression was so gentle]
[Ahhhh, I’m so envious of Miaomiao]
[It’s just for show, you’re overthinking it. He looks like someone with a lot of pressure, and such people are probably grumpy behind closed doors, likely to lash out at their family]
[The one in front, you must be like that to think others are the same]
[Not everyone points their spikes at their family]
When Gu Qize finished eating, the restaurant was already at peak dining hour.
Thanks to various promotions, this restaurant, renovated by entertainers, had gained some fame.
Some guests were attracted by the culinary skills and the price, becoming repeat customers. Another batch came for the buzz, knowing that the entertainers wouldn’t return after participating in the sixth episode, this episode saw many diners.
Tuanzi didn’t have time to accompany Gu Qize anymore, like a spinning top, she was busy.
"I can help."
Gu Qize emphasized, "Before coming, I got a health certificate."
Even the seemingly careless Gu Yunmu knew to get a health certificate before helping, so naturally, the always thoughtful Gu Qize wouldn’t forget this detail.
Tuanzi was dumbfounded.
People coming to help now really are thorough in their considerations. Is this what a mature and reliable adult is like?
So handsome and charming!
"No need, once everyone gets busy, we get used to it. Suddenly having an extra person, we wouldn’t know how to arrange things."
Tuanzi refused his help and dug out a note from her pocket.
"Here, this is a travel guide Miaomiao summarized from asking many tourists."
The handsome man took the note with some confusion.
"Travel guide?"
"Exactly, aren’t you going to be on vacation here for a few days? You can visit these places, I heard they’re really fun."
The man continued to look puzzled.
Tuanzi squinted in suspicion, "Qize, you don’t think vacationing just means going from one place to another, do you? Are you planning to spend these few days just in the restaurant or hotel?"
Gu Qize, who indeed had such a plan: "..."
"That’s not allowed," Tuanzi affectionately snuggled, "Miaomiao hopes you can really relax, not come to help."
A sour feeling welled up in her heart. Gu Qize’s behavior could be interpreted in two ways.
One, he’s just a workaholic. Even on vacation, he can’t sit still and needs to find something to do. But no one is born a workaholic.
Another is that he’s never had a vacation or traveled out, doesn’t know what to do on a trip, and doesn’t know how to entertain himself.
Clearly so capable, earning a lot of money, knowing how to buy gifts for his younger siblings, yet doesn’t spend money on himself, doesn’t know how to relax.
Seeing that Gu Qize wasn’t agreeing, she rolled her eyes, coming up with another plan.
"Miaomiao and Gu Chi need to participate in a show, so we can’t go around playing."
Tuanzi pretended to look pitiful and said, "After the program ends, Miaomiao will have to go home with no time to sightsee. If Qize has time, why not explore Sea City on our behalf?"
She clasped her hands in a cute bow.
"Please~"
Gu Qize never considered himself very hardworking, but recalling his cousin and cousin’s experience on the show, he realized they indeed worked hard.
Finding various ways to raise funds, after successfully renovating the restaurant, they became chefs or waiters, even coming up with ideas to attract customers.
"You’ve worked hard."
Gu Qize said warmly, "Then I’ll take more photos and buy some souvenirs?"
"Yes, yes~"
Tuanzi couldn’t help but rub her face, "Miaomiao will check at night, so no lying. Plus, there’s a concert and outdoor BBQ at our restaurant tonight, remember to come and play, Miaomiao will treat you!"
She meant it seriously, so Gu Qize earnestly agreed.
Just before leaving, he reminded Tuanzi, "You just touched your phone with your hands, remember to wash your hands and sanitize the phone."
Tuanzi: "Oh!"
