"How is it?"
Two little eyebrows twitched flexibly.
Tuanzi raised her chin triumphantly, "How many people can learn this nowadays?"
Gu Che stared at her intently.
Could she be a child from some martial arts family? Then it would be even harder to find her family.
The two were in a deadlock, making no progress.
The Ancient Martial System couldn't stand it anymore and suggested the host persuade Gu Che to do a kinship test.
Years ago, during the time-space disruption, the host's parents were swept into another world, their fate unknown.
With the parents gone, a parent-child test couldn't be done, only a kinship test to confirm that the two were siblings.
"Then let's do a kinship test." Gu Miaomiao agreed readily, parroting the words.
Seeing Gu Che unmoved, she quickly ran to the table and hugged the leg.
"If you don't agree, Miaomiao won't leave."
Gu Che didn't know what to do with her.
He asked where her parents were, asked about her real identity, she repeatedly emphasized she was the younger sister and could only come here.
"Alright," Gu Che called his life assistant over, "do an expedited test, when you see the results, you'll finally give up."
Gu Miaomiao shook her head and imagined the scene where her second brother would be shocked, weeping, and apologize tearfully.
She shared this fantasy with the Ancient Martial System.
[Gu Miaomiao: When it happens, Miaomiao will surely hold back for a while before forgiving him.]
[Ancient Martial System: I think a top idol should have basic emotional management skills.]
Tuanzi pouted and turned her head away, unwilling to listen.
Life assistant Sun arrived quickly.
Receiving two strands of hair, he was dumbfounded.
"Gu, Gu Bro, could this be your long-lost daughter?"
He looked at Gu Che with his distinct features, then at Gu Miaomiao with her big eyes and small mouth.
"Your noses and mouths are exactly the same!"
The veins on Gu Che's forehead throbbed.
"I'm only 23!"
Sun shrank back, "But you two really look alike, if not father and daughter, siblings then? But Gu Bro, you..."
Seeing Gu Che's expression, he turned and ran.
"I'll make two orders, one expedited, results in 3 hours. One regular, results in seven days. The regular test will be more thorough and accurate."
Once he left, Gu Che slumped onto the sofa with a dark face.
Soon, the cushion next to him sagged down.
Turning his head, he found Gu Miaomiao curiously looking at him, her big eyes shining black and bright.
"Are you unhappy?"
Gu Che 'humphed', though his gaze lingered on that little nose and mouth.
Do they really look alike?
Could it be... there's a tiny possibility this girl is his sister?
He couldn't help but go to the bathroom to examine his nose and mouth.
High nose, thin lips, completely unlike Tuanzi's!
"Are you admiring your own handsomeness?"
A cutesy voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Che, who was looking in the mirror, was startled and turned to see Gu Miaomiao standing at the door, looking at him curiously.
"You didn't close the door."
Gu Miaomiao quickly explained, "And I've never seen a real bathroom, can I come in and have a look?"
"Nothing special to see."
Gu Che shooed her away.
Seeing Tuanzi occasionally rubbing her belly, he searched the fridge and brought out a bottle of yogurt and some fruit.
"Wash it yourself."
"Wow, is this an apple? We call it na here, it's very precious, Miaomiao has never eaten one."
She happily picked a red apple and ran to the kitchen to wash it.
[Ancient Martial System: Just turn the faucet like I taught you.]
Gu Miaomiao stood on tiptoes, turned on the faucet, and clean water flowed out.
"Fun!"
[Ancient Martial System: After washing, turn it off in the opposite direction.]
Gu Miaomiao did as instructed.
After washing two, she happily handed one to Gu Che.
"Washing apples is fun, the faucet is fun. The house and elevator here are fun too. Especially the elevator, it's faster than Miaomiao's wall-climbing."
The sense of achievement made her beam.
Before, all she did was follow the system instructions in her brain, and now she was seeing the real thing, succeeding on her first try every time, amazing!
"Aren't you going to praise Miaomiao?"
Her chubby face edged closer to Gu Che, "Miaomiao's learning ability is excellent!"
Gu Che felt complicated.
Using these things showed she had seen them in life. Time travel was still a ridiculous story, but the possibility she was his sister… "Crunch, crunch."
The aroma of apples wafted over.
Gu Che turned and saw Tuanzi happily munching on the round apple.
Round face, round eyes, round apple.
Gu Che silently took a bite and glanced at the soft, tender little face.
If his sister were alive, she'd surely be even cuter than this Tuanzi!
Gu Miaomiao ate and drank for half an hour, rested for another half hour, and finally successfully occupied the sofa, pulled a small blanket over herself and happily slept.
Soon, a soft 'whoosh whoosh' sound came from the sofa.
Gu Che, who was relegated to the single-seater: "..."
"You really make yourself at home."
When Gu Miaomiao woke up, she was even more comfortable.
"Second brother, are you reading a script?"
Tuanzi familiarized herself and leaned over, carefully looking at the simplified characters on the script.
In ancient times, she only knew traditional characters, but the system taught her simplified characters, and she got it right away, how clever!
"… He soared into the air, moving like a swallow... Wow, second brother, do you know martial arts too?"
Gu Che glanced at her, shifted over with some dislike. He didn't like being so close to people.
Tuanzi leaned in, continuing to ask, "Do you know martial arts too?"
Gu Che coolly replied, "It's just a script, I play a Jianghu hero, of course, I have to be on wires when filming."
"What's being on wires?" Tuanzi asked, curious.
Gu Che didn't want to explain, finding Tuanzi noisy.
Tuanzi could only whisper to the system, which explained a bit.
"Miaomiao can do it without wires~"
She wanted to show off in front of her second brother, so she immediately took off her shoes and started climbing walls barefoot around the house. She'd fly to the window wall, sometimes walk upside-down on the ceiling, sometimes brush past Gu Che like a swallow.
Gu Che remained indifferent.
So what if she could fly? How does that relate to him?
Then assistant Sun called.
Gu Che answered immediately, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Gu Bro, the results are out, you really are siblings!"
With a "thud," the phone fell to the floor.
"Gu Bro! Gu Bro!"
