Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 585: Selfish Motives

Jin Shilin stayed in Jiang City for one night before leaving.

Since there was no further contact, Tuanzi soon forgot about this cousin.

Now, she has another thing to worry about.

With two chubby paws holding her cheeks, she looked in surprise at Li Zhou, whose leopard ears had reappeared, "Fourth Senior Brother, are you saying that a director introduced you to a variety show? The program’s appearance fee for you is similar to a second-tier artist? Is that program really that rich?"

Li Zhou was doing his best to blend into this world, but there were still many things he didn’t quite understand.

In his era, entertainment was equally rich, with holographic games and various TV dramas.

The difference was, in his era, many TV dramas were AI-produced, with low costs, and even if they flopped, capital could still profit. Hiring real people was extremely expensive, and over time, many virtual idols emerged.

People knew that virtual idols were controlled by capital, yet they went crazy over them just to anchor their hearts.

Li Zhou didn’t like those, he even somewhat rejected them. When he received the invitation, his first reaction was to refuse.

But the appearance fee offered was really high.

Poor Black Panther was a bit troubled, his black ears moving in distress.

Tuanzi struggled to move her gaze away from the leopard ear.

"Let’s not discuss whether to go or not," she said with a serious expression, "Does that director appreciate you that much? Always inviting you to meals during filming and now introducing you to a variety show. The program might be offering such a high appearance fee because of his influence."

Tuanzi’s face showed a look of ’there’s a bad guy eyeing my senior brother’. Her leopard Senior Brother is under her protection!

Successfully snatching a holiday from his agent, Gu Che was playing games on his phone. Hearing this, he chimed in, "I have to say a fair word here, that director has a pretty good reputation. He’s the type who treats someone especially well once he appreciates them, and his goodwill doesn’t ask for anything in return."

Glancing at the moving leopard ears, Gu Che couldn’t help but add, "And don’t be fooled by his burly look, but it’s rumored he likes fluffy things. It seems paparazzi once caught him volunteering at a rescue center. However, he was quite famous then, and many claimed he was just doing it for publicity. Later, the paparazzi couldn’t catch any more of him."

Tuanzi trusted her family and initially lacked information, leading her to suspect ulterior motives. Now, having gathered intel, she thought in another direction.

Her small paws hugged her head again, she shook it, "Could he have found out that Senior Brother is a leopard?"

On set, Gu Che basically stayed with Li Zhou all the time.

At least, recognized by his little sister as a senior brother, he would certainly take care of him.

Having the support of a top star, no one in the crew dared to bully Li Zhou as a newcomer.

Additionally, his several assistants would also look after Li Zhou, and if they found anything amiss, they would surely inform him.

Therefore, Gu Che was very confident that on set, Li Zhou was neither bullied nor exposed his true identity. Instead, it was him, when Li Zhou accidentally exposed his ears and tail, who almost couldn’t manage his expressions.

He deliberately teased his worried little sister.

"What if he really found out? Judging by his behavior, he probably wouldn’t tell the media, but he might secretly want to see your Senior Brother turn into a leopard."

Tuanzi immediately looked conflicted.

She wasn’t too pleased, but Fourth Senior Brother is an adult now, and he can make his own decisions. She couldn’t decide on his behalf.

With her small paw tugging at Li Zhou, she cautiously asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, will you secretly turn into a leopard for him to see? He might be a nice person, but you need to be careful, okay?"

Li Zhou was actively trying to figure out his actions back then.

He shouldn’t have exposed anything.

Glancing at the snickering Gu Che, Li Zhou understood.

"I won’t transform for him to see," he said seriously, "Even though he treats me well, I trust you guys more."

People all have selfishness, and his selfishness is his little sister and others.

Tuanzi didn’t relax.

Piercing bright eyes carefully examined this handsome guy with tan skin.

[Miaomiao: Fourth Senior Brother is so innocent, he can easily be deceived; I need to find some help.]

[Ancient Martial System: Help?]

Tuanzi ’swished’ stood up and ran away briskly.

Once she left, Gu Che suggested, "Miaomiao’s worries are not unfounded, you can never truly know someone’s heart. My understanding of him is also through others. Regardless of whether to go, you can first find out the reason behind his eagerness to connect. If the reason makes you uncomfortable, then you don’t have to hesitate, you can directly refuse the invitation."

The crew-cut young man accepted this advice and straightforwardly inquired with the director.

Meanwhile, Tuanzi wandered around the villa, finally finding Ji Zhangzhuo contemplating life hanging by the window.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you doing?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Tuanzi also mimicked his pose and hung by the window.

"Will we scare any passersby doing this?"

[Ancient Martial System: Then why are you imitating him?]

The system quietly noted down Ji Zhangzhuo again.

[Miaomiao: It’s fun]

Saying this, the Little Heroine still dutifully jumped to the floor and used brute force to drag Ji Zhangzhuo inside.

"Second Senior Brother, I have bad news for you," she said mischievously, "A director wants Fourth Senior Brother to turn into a leopard for him to see. Someone has touched Fourth Senior Brother’s ears and tail before you did!"

The system didn’t fully understand how turning into a leopard and touching ears and tails were connected.

But usually so strategic, Ji Zhangzhuo seemed crazy about this matter, shouting ’I disagree’, and directly jumped down.

Tuanzi hurriedly clung to the windowsill and looked down, eager to try.

[Ancient Martial System: Use the stairs]

[Miaomiao: But this is faster]

[Ancient Martial System: I can’t take it if you jump off buildings]

Its data core was trembling, and the code started to go awry.

Tuanzi didn’t seem very impressed but eventually resorted to Gecko Skill, climbing down the wall instead of the thrilling jump.

[Ancient Martial System: ...]

When Tuanzi arrived, Ji Zhangzhuo had already teased the good-natured Li Zhou into a frenzy.

"I already said no!"

The two leopard ears were furiously swaying.

"That director didn’t discover my true identity; he explained that seeing me reminded him of a Black Panther, a wild Black Panther, something he usually doesn’t have the chance to encounter, which is why he’s so nice to me."

Ji Zhangzhuo didn’t believe.

Li Zhou’s tail was raised high, as if ready to fight.

He suspiciously looked at Ji Zhangzhuo, "You’re saying this deliberately, right? Next, are you going to say ’outsiders can touch, why can’t Senior Brother touch’?"

Anyone else, once exposed, would certainly have their guilt shifting the topic, but Ji Zhangzhuo wouldn’t. His face was thicker than the wall.

"At this rate, someone will eventually discover the truth. Rather than letting others touch by then, why not let me touch now."

Li Zhou directly jumped onto the wall, took a leap, and climbed to the rooftop.

Ji Zhangzhuo quickly used Qinggong.

The two started a frantic parkour.

Arriving in haste, Tuanzi sighed.

"Ah, Second Senior Brother is really worrisome. When will he grow up to be mature like Miaomiao?"

Gu Che turned his head, trying not to laugh.

[Ancient Martial System: Mature like you, who loves calling yourself Miaomiao?]
