Fortunately, Tuanzi’s goal was to bring the third senior brother over for so interaction, while the fourth senior brother ca over for so food and drinks.
At this mont, she was sticking with Tantai Yi and eating and drinking with Li Zhou.
Gu Li initially wanted to join in the fun, but a few editors recognized his pen na Mijiu. They either wanted to discuss submissions or negotiate publishing matters on behalf of the publishing house.
Still in his graduate studies, he had no choice but to discuss things during drinking sessions.
Gu Zhuo, who didn’t know anyone outside of his relatives, was hanging around Wen Qi, so he decided to just hang out with his sister and have so food and drinks.
Work was for those people, but the food and drinks were theirs.
Gu Zhuo didn’t have a big appetite, so he stopped eating after a while and began looking around out of boredom.
Just then, soone called Wen Qi on his phone. Wen Qi didn’t want to take it and casually hung up.
After the call ended, what appeared in Gu Zhuo’s view was the phone wallpaper.
Gu Zhuo glanced at it once, then again, and couldn’t help but rub his eyes to try to take another look, but Wen Qi’s phone had already gone to sleep.
"Was it an illusion?"
He was sowhat dazed.
Wen Qi looked over, "What’s up?"
"Uh..."
Gu Zhuo awkwardly looked at his cousin, hesitating whether to ask directly.
While he hesitated, the system had already reported without hesitation.
[Ancient Martial System: Wen Qi’s phone wallpaper is a photo of you]
Tuanzi, who was munching on a mochi, kicked her legs straight.
[Miaomiao: Huh? But Miaomiao never sent him a photo]
[Ancient Martial System: It should have been sent by his brother. Isn’t the main point that he’s using your photo as a wallpaper? He usually doesn’t seem that close to you]
The system couldn’t understand, but Tuanzi could.
She signaled toward Gu Li, who was deep in conversation with soone.
[Miaomiao: Cousin Gu Li is just like that, saying ’I’m just passing by,’ while actually carrying a big bag of gifts for Miaomiao. Sigh, adults love saying one thing and aning another; kids are more straightforward]
As she spoke, she climbed off the chair, wandered over to Wen Qi, and just smiled, a smile that seed a bit mischievous.
Wen Qi leaned back reservedly, "What do you want to do?"
"Hey, cousin, Miaomiao wants to call the senior brother. Can I borrow your phone?"
She used Tantai Yi as an excuse, "Miaomiao needs to contact the senior brother to bring back the third senior brother."
Borrowing a phone was a minor matter. Wen Qi didn’t think much of it and unlocked the phone, handing it over.
As he handed it over, he unintentionally glanced at the screen, his face changed, and he wanted to take the phone back.
Tuanzi, quick-eyed, reached out to grab it, but soone was even quicker and snatched the phone.
"Wow, so it’s this photo!"
A familiar tone filled with hidden aning.
Wen Qi glared over with a dark face.
Wen Li smiled, "Wow, brother, how co I rember you once saying... oh, I forgot, but I recorded it. I’ll listen to it and know."
He took out his own phone, pretending to pull up the recording.
Already feeling awkward, Wen Qi quickly stopped him.
"Calm down."
Wen Li smiled innocently, "Back then my face hurt a lot, does your face hurt now?"
His smile was harmless but carried an implicit threat, as if saying ’If you don’t admit it, I’ll expose you imdiately.’
Wen Qi rely felt a headache.
Why does he have such a brother? Whoever wants such a brother can take him ho.
Tuanzi couldn’t understand, just wanting to snatch the phone.
"Brother Wen Li, let check it out."
Gu Zhuo suddenly realized, "So what I saw earlier wasn’t an illusion."
His sharp gaze instantly fell on Wen Qi.
"What illusion?"
Gu Li just walked over, heard this, and instinctively asked.
"Cousin’s phone wallpaper is Miaomiao."
Gu Zhuo provided the answer, and the next second saw Wen Qi’s expression beco extrely twisted and odd.
"Miaomiao, look," Wen Li taught on the spot, "this is called a color palette. Isn’t it exactly the sa as your cousin Gu Chi’s color palette?"
Tuanzi leaned closer, exclaiming, "It really is exactly the sa."
Wen Qi: "..."
The young boss quickly regained his composure and calmly said, "I’m planning to go back and see Mom and Dad, and I’ve already inford them. They told to bring you along too, said they’ve already arranged a matchmaker."
This ti it was Wen Li who was stunned.
Tuanzi curiously poked around, and incidentally took back Wen Qi’s phone.
Wen Qi fake-smiled, "I hear they’ve arranged quite a few people. When you get back, you see three in the morning and three in the afternoon. Don’t feel stressed, not only will they et you, but they’ll also et other matchmaking prospects."
Thinking of that scene, Wen Li felt a tingling scalp.
Previously, his parents had invited friends and their daughter to their house as guests. At that ti, the family of three looked at him as if a dog sees a bone. Later, he found out it was a disguised matchmaking; his parents’ friends were quite satisfied with his qualifications. Young and promising, considerable inco, freelancing, and capable of taking care of children and housework.
After his parents pointed out the truth, he almost fled overnight to Jiang City and had insomnia because of it.
Wen Li couldn’t laugh, "You’re joking, right?"
Wen Qi continued his fake smiling, "Do you think I’m soone who jokes?"
The brothers looked at each other, both seeing that sentence in each other’s eyes.
Co on, let’s hurt each other!
Tuanzi mumbled while holding the phone, "Brothers in this world are really peculiar and diverse."
This confrontation ended with Wen Li’s surrender.
Wen Qi took the opportunity to say, "Delete the recording."
Wen Li forced a smile, "Even if you delete it, the truth is the truth. Do you believe I’ll tell Miaomiao?"
"Tell what?"
Tuanzi, no longer interested in the phone wallpaper, returned the phone to Wen Qi, and continued munching on a mochi, speaking sowhat unclearly.
"Nothing."
Wen Qi changed the subject, "I can mail you so cookies."
Tuanzi’s attention was indeed diverted, eagerly picking out cookies that she wanted to eat and could be sent long distance.
After choosing, she happily made a heart sign to Wen Qi.
"Cousin, you’re so nice, Miaomiao really likes you."
The young boss turned slightly, coughing lightly a few tis.
His face really hurt!
If he had known earlier, sigh!
After the celebration banquet, Gu Zhuo and his brother helped take the drunken Tantai Yi back.
Tuanzi waved her chubby paw to say goodbye to the Wen brothers.
After people left, Wen Li slowly suggested.
"Actually, I didn’t intend to send you Miaomiao’s photo. It’s just that when I tasted my own words, I couldn’t help but watch others taste it."
"And then you chose ?"
Wen Qi glared at him angrily, "You are really my biological brother!"
The real brother instigated, "If you don’t want your face to hurt, there’s another way. Let the ’taste’ transfer to soone else, and the pain will transfer too."
Wen Qi imdiately understood.
I heard that Second Uncle’s family hasn’t interacted with the cousin yet, but the cousins on the uncle’s side must already know the cousin has co back. They probably think like how I initially did. After all, they’re unfamiliar relatives, not to interact if unnecessary.
But the cousin is so cute and considerate; as long as they interact a little, they’ll surely co to appreciate this sister, leading to a ’tasting my own words’ scenario, right?
Thinking this in his heart, he kept a serious face, "Do you think I’m like you?"
