Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 678: Third Senior Brother’s Reluctance

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Third Senior Brother’s Reluctance

When the wind blows, it carries a chill.

Jiang City has long entered autumn, but the autumn chill is fundamentally different from this chill.

Tuanzi and Zhen Haowei shouted simultaneously.

"Third Senior Brother!"

The man who had rushed in like the wind paused.

He slowed his pace, his figure gradually becoming visible, but he didn’t turn back.

Tuanzi stared at the man in the light-colored robe.

[Miaomiao: Why does it feel like Third Senior Brother doesn’t want to bother with us?]

[Ancient Martial System: Remove ’feel like’, don’t forget, he went for a medical check-up with First Senior Brother today.]

Tuanzi recalled something she almost forgot.

She jumped out of Zhen Haowei’s embrace, ran to the man with white hair and golden eyes, and earnestly said, "The food cooked by Seventh Senior Brother is really helpful. Just now, Brother Gu Zhuo’s vision improved a lot. If you eat the food he makes, maybe you’ll soon detoxify."

Tantai Yi’s expression was indifferent.

He always had this expression. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

No one noticed anything unusual.

"No need," Tantai Yi lowered his gaze and meticulously arranged his clothes, "The doctor said my condition is very good, just need to continue taking medicine."

Duan Xiayou, who was left behind, also entered the room.

Initially, he was unaware and thought Third Senior Brother suddenly had an urgent matter, hence the quick dash into the room without taking the main entrance.

But now, seeing Third Senior Brother stopped and hearing Little Junior Sister’s words, he vaguely guessed the reason.

"The doctor’s exact words were," Duan Xiayou avoided Tantai Yi’s gaze, "Continue the medication, the poison can be suppressed, but experts haven’t come up with a perfect solution yet, it needs time."

Tantai Yi: "..."

Golden eyes stared at him.

Duan Xiayou turned away, humming softly, "I’m just speaking the truth, Third Senior Brother, don’t threaten First Senior Brother."

Tuanzi hurriedly pulled Tantai Yi back.

She may be small, but she’s determined.

If Seventh Senior Brother hadn’t come, the doctor’s statement would be the best situation. But now there’s a solution, so of course it should be resolved.

"Third Senior Brother, Master said, you can’t avoid problems; you should face them head-on."

The man with white hair and golden eyes pressed his lips.

Beside him, Zhen Haowei also joined the persuasion team.

"Though the effects of ’Extremes lead to opposite’ keep changing—perhaps strengthening the body this time, repairing internal organs next time, and detoxifying the time after—if you persist in eating the food I make, one day you’ll get better."

Before he even finished speaking, Tantai Yi chimed in, "I’m fine, I really want to experience modern medicine."

Tuanzi immediately became alert.

Third Senior Brother had never said "I want" or "I wish" before. He was a person with low demands in life and hardly ever curious, as if no one outside the sect could leave a mark on him.

A person who never makes demands and is not curious suddenly says such things—there’s a problem!

Tuanzi looked left, looked right, "Third Senior Brother, is it possible that you..."

Tantai Yi suddenly covered his mouth with one hand and coughed a few times. His face turned a shade paler, and a few strands of white hair fell. The whole scene shifted towards a more poignant direction.

Tuanzi panicked.

"Third Senior Brother, are you feeling unwell? Quickly go rest in your room! Ah, no, we should go to the hospital."

Tantai Yi looked away and said softly, "I didn’t rest well last night. I’ll take a break first."

"Alright, alright!"

Tuanzi pushed him up the stairs, and when Tantai Yi took off his coat and lay on the bed, she eagerly covered him with a blanket.

Squatting by the bedside, she laid her little head on the mattress, her eyes curved with a smile as she comforted him, "Senior Brother, you should sleep. Miaomiao will keep watch over you. When Miaomiao was sick before, Master would always stay by Miaomiao like this."

The man with white hair and golden eyes felt a bit guilty, but he didn’t dare speak—more words mean more mistakes.

"Thank you for the trouble."

"It’s no trouble, no trouble. Senior Brother, quickly close your eyes. If you can’t sleep, Miaomiao can sing or tell stories for you!"

Tantai Yi hesitated for a moment, but eventually chose to listen to a story.

Of course, he wasn’t sleepy; he just wanted to avoid those awful meals. But now, closing his eyes, he surprisingly fell into a slumber with Tuanzi’s sweet and soft voice.

When his breathing became steady, Tuanzi tiptoed out the door, sneaking downstairs to find her senior brothers.

Downstairs, after some discussion, Duan Xiayou and Zhen Haowei had already confirmed something.

"I couldn’t tell Third Senior Brother also has things he dislikes."

Zhen Haowei rubbed his head, as if the disliked food wasn’t his own cooking.

"I always thought Third Senior Brother had no desires, like an ice beauty."

"He hasn’t reached that level," Duan Xiayou said, spending more time with Tantai Yi, "it’s just that his emotions aren’t intense."

Having emotions that aren’t intense and lacking richness can be both good and bad. The good side is not being influenced by external factors, not caring what others say, which is a great quality for someone dedicated to martial arts. The bad side is that it’s easy to misunderstand him or think he truly doesn’t care or need anything.

"That’s true."

Zhen Haowei recalled Third Senior Brother’s recent double standards and withdrew what he just said.

Hearing the ’da da da’ footsteps, he turned his head and smiled at Tuanzi, "Miaomiao, what should we do now?"

He was sure his junior sister wanted to heal Third Senior Brother.

Compared to research with no clear deadline, surely his cooking was more effective.

"I don’t know!"

Tuanzi climbed onto the sofa, lay down with a ’plop’, and flipped over.

"Miaomiao used to think Third Senior Brother doesn’t touch alcohol, but later found out he loves it, just doesn’t drink because he gets easily drunk. He’s not picky when eating, but why eat something bad if there’s a choice..."

To spare Zhen Haowei’s feelings, she swallowed the last few words.

"Ah, things are always hard to balance."

The little heroine with big worries rolled around on the sofa twice and was quickly held down by Duan Xiayou.

"Be careful not to fall."

Tuanzi could only move like a cat a few times.

"Moreover, it’s said we should respect each other. We think detoxifying quickly is good, eating poorly... cough cough, that’s fine too. But Third Senior Brother feels taking it slow is alright too. We can’t go against his wishes."

Even when Tantai Yi was slightly capricious, they could only respect it.

Everyone has the right to be capricious. Even when Tantai Yi, who had never been capricious, slightly bent the rules, they wouldn’t object.

"If that’s the case," Duan Xiayou sighed, "then we’re just troubling ourselves."

Tuanzi turned over, lay on the sofa, rested her chin in her hands, causing soft flesh to bulge out from her palms.

"Sigh," she sighed, sounding mature for her age.

"Otherwise, I’ll make some soup?"

Zhen Haowei thought for a moment, "The medicine he occasionally takes is all in soup form, just the aroma alone is tough. If I make a similarly unpleasant soup, maybe he’ll be willing to drink it as medicine."

Tuanzi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, "That’s a great idea, so Senior Brother, what kind of soup will you make? Chicken soup?"

Watching them, Duan Xiayou inexplicably thought of ’poisoned chicken soup’, he shook his head to dispel the ridiculous notion.
