Guests need to eat, and the crew also needs to eat.
The mountain patrol is already hard enough, Director Chen wouldn’t be so harsh as to skimp on als for the crew.
Everyone agreed that whenever guests have lunch, they’ll appear in the view of a few fixed cara positions, so the rest of the caran can have their hands free to eat.
At this mont, the caraman following Tuanzi is sitting on a rock eating.
He already took two servings of instant als.
There’s no choice, following Tuanzi requires both skill and physical strength. Since taking on this task, his skills have improved, his stamina has improved, but his appetite has increased.
He suddenly felt soone nearby, the presence was so faint it startled him. Turning his head, he saw Tuanzi squatting at his feet, slowly nibbling a compressed biscuit. Noticing his gaze, she showed a sweet and endearing smile, making one’s heart soften.
To stay consistent with the patrol, guests’ lunch quality isn’t high, and they don’t even get instant als. Only the little guests can occasionally have so beef jerky or chocolate.
Tuanzi’s love for food is well-known to everyone, the caraman whispered, "Do you want to have instant als? I could get you one?"
Since there aren’t any caras, and Tuanzi’s microphone is off, sneaking so food wouldn’t be found by the audience.
Tuanzi shook her head honestly.
Eating compressed biscuits and dry bread can fill her up too, but now she craved for sothing else.
"Uncle, Miaomiao wants to discuss sothing with you."
The caraman listened attentively.
"Can I trade this for candies with you?"
Tuanzi took out the beef jerky she received.
Her big, watery eyes blinked sincerely and innocently, even showing a tiny hint of pitifulness.
For a piece of candy, she really was trying everything she could.
Anyone under such sweet, trusting, expectant eyes, even a tough guy, would feel their heart lt, ready to agree instantly.
As for why not agreeing, it’s because he had already promised soone else!
The caraman awkwardly rubbed his nose, "Well, Miaomiao, it’s not that Uncle doesn’t want to trade with you, it’s just Uncle needs to keep his promises."
Her eyes widened slightly, Tuanzi sensed sothing was off.
"Here’s the thing, last night..."
The caraman briefly explained Gu Cheng’s actions last night.
Sumd up in one sentence, last night Gu Cheng even went to sign agreents with staff who knew Tuanzi.
[Ancient Martial System: Wow, your brother is indeed your brother, he’s blocked all your ways. In this episode and the final episode, you won’t be able to trade for candies with the crew.]
After the show is fild, Tuanzi will return to Jiangcheng. People familiar with Tuanzi in Jiangcheng have mostly signed agreents.
This ans that for a long ti in the future, Tuanzi must strictly adhere to the agreents.
Tuanzi opened her mouth wide, didn’t even realize the beef jerky she held fell to the ground. Fortunately, it was wrapped in a packaging bag, otherwise, she might have cried rivers of tears when she realized!
"Did big brother really do this?"
The caraman felt guilty, but he was truly committed to keeping his word; having signed the agreent earlier, he won’t give Tuanzi any candy now.
"Right, Miaomiao, just bear with it. He claims he’ll give you seven candies at once, which rounds up to an entire pack, that’s quite a lot."
Seven candies are many, but that’s supposed to last a week, isn’t it?
Tuanzi almost roared, let alone she now only had two, just two, enough to fill teeth gaps?
Tuanzi pouted, looking as if she was on the verge of tears.
After a long pause, she finally managed to mumble in frustration, "Adults are really so sneaky!"
Having so many people sign agreents seems like a lack of trust, but then giving her the entire week’s supply at once shows they’re trusting her after all.
So even if she realized this now, she can’t bla Gu Cheng. That big brother giving so many sweets at once genuinely shows he trusts her, she only ate one yesterday.
But she still has many small partners, don’t they deserve so treats when they’re short of candies?
Tuanzi suddenly felt deflated.
The caraman found even the food in his bowl losing its flavor.
This child, she just looks too pitiful. Though softhearted, having signed the agreent, he definitely has to abide by it.
After a mont of thought, the caraman quietly shared a secret.
"Only a portion of people signed the agreent."
These are usually the ones who interact with Tuanzi more; so staff who don’t have contact with her due to their job roles weren’t asked by Gu Cheng to help.
"If you really want, you can go and give it a try."
Tuanzi’s eyes lit up, but then quickly dropped her little head again.
"Miaomiao isn’t familiar with those people."
Exchanging candies just got more difficult.
Sigh, why is it so hard to have a piece of candy?
Tuanzi trudged back to her original spot, tastelessly munching on the compressed biscuit.
Gu Cheng saw her reaction and knew she had co back empty-handed, so he didn’t say anything.
By evening, the little ones were out for a stroll for digestion, while the parents gathered together.
Yang Jin had signed the agreent too, now unable to resist teasing Gu Cheng.
"You and Mr. Gu are so different in personality. If Miaomiao asked him, he’d agree in less than a minute."
Wu Ti sat beside playing with his phone, hearing this, he raised his brows.
Even the laid-back Yang Zhi and Duan Ling felt sothing odd but couldn’t put their finger on it.
Gu Cheng’s expression grew more serious hearing this, his tone a bit somber, "For you to say sothing like that, did he once agree to sothing with Miaomiao?"
Yang Jin: "... Ah!"
Yang Zhi and Duan Ling suddenly realized, so that’s it! Yang Jin’s words inadvertently exposed what Gu Che did, didn’t they?
Both of them had interacted with Gu Che before and knew what Yang Jin ant, instinctively trying to cover it up.
"It’s really nothing much, kids liking to eat is better than not liking to eat," Duan Ling, who has a nephew who doesn’t like to eat, sincerely comnted.
Yang Zhi also said, "If my little sister was that sweet and well-behaved, I’d certainly agree to anything she asks."
Wu Ti couldn’t help but cough a few tis, catching their attention before helplessly remarking, "Teacher Yang Jin hasn’t even said anything yet, and you’ve already sold out Mr. Gu completely."
The clueless duo awkwardly chuckled, not daring to look at Gu Cheng’s expression.
Gu Cheng didn’t react particularly, after asking around he found out that previously, when Tuanzi helped with the rescue, the villagers enthusiastically cooked for them in gratitude, and Tuanzi ate until she was stuffed, still wanting more, Gu Che only symbolically stopped her a few tis.
Or maybe after Tuanzi finished a piece of sesa cake, she imdiately received peanut brittle and qima cake from a female staff mber.
Gu Che felt she was consuming too much sugar and tried to stop her, but when Tuanzi pouted and whined, Gu Che instantly surrendered.
After Gu Cheng left the eting room without saying a word, Yang Jin anxiously asked Wu Ti, "Will Mr. Gu be okay?"
Wu Ti chuckled but didn’t respond.
This sort of thing, how would he know?
