Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 626: Idol and Fan

Jin Shilin can only cook simple home-cooked meals, and his taste is quite bland.

But as long as there are meat dishes, even if it’s just scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Tuanzi eats with great satisfaction and constantly gives Jin Shilin a thumbs up.

Pouring the sweet and sour sauce into the white rice, she stirs it with a spoon and can finish a bowl of rice directly.

Unlike her, who is eating enthusiastically, Jin Lingxiao seems to have a poor appetite.

Tuanzi is puzzled, "We didn’t keep talking to you, so shouldn’t you be energetic?"

She humbly consults the system, which helps her gather data and eventually concludes that the best way to get along with someone like Jin Lingxiao, who doesn’t like socializing, is to do your own thing and not disturb each other.

So while Jin Shilin cooks, Tuanzi always turns on the TV to watch cartoons and doesn’t chat with Jin Lingxiao.

Jin Lingxiao holds his bowl, drooping his eyebrows, and doesn’t say a word.

"His taste is quite strong," Jin Shilin helps explain, "He likes spicy food, and usually orders extra spicy takeout."

Tuanzi suddenly realizes.

She looks at the food on the table; not all are bland. At least the stir-fried green peppers with pork are a bit spicy, but this level of spiciness doesn’t satisfy Jin Lingxiao.

[Miaomiao: Brother Shilin doesn’t seem like someone who ignores others’ tastes]

[Ancient Martial System: The answer to why he’s doing this is right in front of you]

Tuanzi tilts her head slightly, thinks carefully, and soon realizes.

"It’s not good to always eat heavily flavored food!"

She feels a bit guilty when she says this.

"And it’s even worse that you always eat takeout!"

Most people order takeout because they don’t have time to cook.

In contrast, Jin Lingxiao is a freelancer who stays home all day. If he wants, he can spend a long time cooking a meal and then eat it leisurely.

"Unless," Tuanzi looks at him curiously, "you can’t cook, you’re a kitchen disaster, just like the senior brother!"

"I-I can cook."

Jin Lingxiao looks down guiltily, "I just don’t want to."

"He’s just too lazy to do it," Jin Shilin can’t help but tease, "In his mind, it’s like, why not watch another episode of cartoons with the time you spend cooking?"

Jin Lingxiao feels even guiltier.

At this moment, he feels like a younger brother.

"It’s really amazing how you don’t get fat or have acne on your face," Jin Shilin comments precisely.

Jin Lingxiao thinks for a while and honestly says, "It’s probably a physical thing; I’m more prone to dark circles."

At that moment, Tuanzi seems to see something roll around Jin Shilin’s tongue and then swallow it back.

She raises her small hand and actively retorts, "It’s obviously because you stay up late all the time that you have dark circles; don’t blame it on your constitution!"

Jin Lingxiao lowers his head guiltily again and silently eats white rice.

But soon, a pair of chopsticks come over from both sides.

One picks out the green peppers from the green pepper dish, and the other picks out some bok choy.

"Eat more," looking to the left, he sees Tuanzi’s bright smiling face, "Green peppers are very nutritious."

Looking to the right, he sees Jin Shilin’s calm, expressionless face, "Eat more vegetables."

Jin Lingxiao can only eat.

After eating, Jin Lingxiao actively puts the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher.

Tuanzi still runs off to watch cartoons.

Jin Shilin leans against the kitchen door with his arms crossed, watching his brother’s every move, "I wanted to ask before, did you rent this place because it has a dishwasher?"

Someone guiltily speeds up.

Pressing the function key, Jin Lingxiao glances at the living room and whispers, "Why did you bring her here?"

"With so many cousins, she’s the only one who hasn’t met you," Jin Shilin catches onto his brother’s weak spot, "You don’t want to be left out, do you?"

Jin Lingxiao, often left behind during student days: "..." My brother is still my brother, really knows how to handle people.

"But, you also can’t..."

"Can’t what? Can’t let her find out your secret?"

Jin Shilin is puzzled, "If you like her, you like her. There’s no need to hide it."

Last time, when he mentioned his cousin, his brother’s reaction was off. Clearly familiar, not disgusted, yet didn’t want to interact with her.

These feelings are too complex; it’s better to just bring her over to confirm things.

He also has his selfish reasons; he can bring his cousin out and let his brother try to interact with more people.

Strangers can’t be reassured, but a cute sister is very reassuring.

Jin Lingxiao becomes a bit anxious.

He glances at the living room again and lowers his voice, "But, you know the story of Ye Gong who loved dragons, right?"

"Hmm?"

Realizing he’s misspoken, Jin Lingxiao corrects himself, "Liking an idol doesn’t mean you have to approach them and get to know their private life, right?"

Jin Shilin suspects his brother’s brain is filled with those cartoons and various merchandise.

"She’s not just your idol; she’s your sister, your family. How can it be the same?"

The otaku stays silent.

In the living room.

Tuanzi seems to be watching cartoons intently, but in fact, her little ears twitch from time to time.

[Miaomiao: I see, he’s a fan of Miaomiao]

[Ancient Martial System: I knew you wouldn’t just watch TV quietly]

With the host’s curiosity, discovering something interesting, how could she not explore it thoroughly?

Tuanzi shakes her head proudly, praising her own cleverness.

The two new cousins don’t really know her like Brother Gu Chi does, who knows her sharp hearing and sometimes says things to mislead her. She can hear from afar but can’t see, not knowing that Brother Gu Chi is setting a trap, resulting in many black marks in history.

If she doesn’t pretend to be uninterested, the two cousins won’t communicate openly and eventually reveal their little secrets to her.

"Hehe, he’s a fan!"

Seeing her mischievous smile, the system knows this little kitty is up to no good again.

[Ancient Martial System: But clearly, he’s the type who just wants to admire his idol from afar and doesn’t want to interact with them, so as not to shatter the idol in his heart. If you approach him, maybe he won’t be your fan anymore]

[Miaomiao: It’s okay. Having another cousin is fine too]

Tuanzi happily takes out her phone.

When Jin Lingxiao leaves the kitchen and anxiously sits on the edge of the sofa, Tuanzi suddenly turns to him, "Do you want to take a photo with Miaomiao?"

"A photo together?"

Jin Lingxiao’s eyes light up.

Taking a photo with an idol is such an exciting thing. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Sure," he agrees eagerly, then looks at Jin Shilin, "Could you take the picture for us?"

Jin Shilin just thinks his brother is being silly. The real person is right in front of him; why want a photo? Isn’t it better to spend more time together?

Inwardly complaining, he still dutifully takes Jin Lingxiao’s phone.

Just then, Tuanzi suddenly says, "But Miaomiao doesn’t just take photos with anyone."

The otaku’s expression immediately changes, full of disappointment about to be manifested.

"However," Tuanzi mischievously leans over, "if you show Miaomiao your edited videos, Miaomiao will take a photo with you."

Jin Lingxiao falls into intense hesitation.
