Chapter 33: Chapter 33: I also want to join a variety show with Zhi Zhi

"Your second brother is busy in the lab with research, and Momo is in closed training at school, so it’s not convenient for him to come back either."

Mrs. Qin looked at her and smiled, "When they saw the live broadcast online a few days ago, they talked about missing you. They’ll come to see you once they’re not busy."

Gu Zhi knowingly nodded. The Qin brothers were usually very busy, as the family worked hard to support the second and youngest brother’s education. Second brother Qin Yuan hadn’t graduated from his postgraduate studies, and seventeen-year-old Qin Mo was still in high school, spending his free time with the competition team.

Even the eldest brother Qin Ji and third brother Qin Zheng, who were already working, made time to come back today.

Since the original person returned to the Gu Family, the Qin Family was worried about causing trouble for her and didn’t dare to contact her proactively, making the relationship much more distant.

This live broadcast, however, seemed to have brought them closer.

Qin Zheng remembered last time when during the live broadcast Gu Zhi asked him for a game account and couldn’t help but ask, "Zhi Zhi, don’t you dislike playing games? When did you become so good at it?"

He had also seen the online gaming video; Zhi Zhi’s skills were amazing!

Gu Zhi thought for a while and said, "I learned it a while ago. I secretly practiced so I wouldn’t embarrass third brother."

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then an unnatural smile appeared on his face, a little shy, "You would never embarrass third brother!"

Gu Zhi lifted the corners of her mouth slightly.

"In the future, let’s team up and play games together when we have time."

Gu Zhi: "Okay."

Next to them, Qin Ji listened to their conversation, looked dotingly at Gu Zhi, and picked some fish for her. "Eat more, you won’t gain weight."

Gu Zhi was a bit overwhelmed by the attention, "Thank you, big brother."

The Qin family really pampered Gu Zhi like a treasure, she didn’t need to do anything.

After dinner, Qin Ji and Qin Zheng volunteered to wash the dishes and clean up, so Gu Zhi spent time sitting and chatting with Father Qin and Mrs. Qin in the living room.

Mrs. Qin remembered the program matter and asked, "Zhi Zhi, is it true that you have to go on the show again this week? Maybe your dad and I shouldn’t go..."

"Why?" Gu Zhi was taken aback and then remembered their unusual behavior the morning after the live broadcast ended. She squinted her eyes, "Did someone say something to you?"

"No, I’m just afraid of holding you back..." Mrs. Qin seemed a little troubled, glanced at Father Qin, and decided to tell the truth: "It’s Yiyi, she asked us not to go. I’m afraid the Gu Family’s prejudice against you will grow worse..."

Gu Zhi let out a cold laugh; she expected this.

"Don’t worry about her; I don’t care about the Gu Family," she said, then looked down at the two of them, "Of course, if you don’t want to go, I won’t force you."

Mrs. Qin hesitated for a while, unsure how to respond.

Of course she wanted to go, but she feared offending the Gu Family and having Zhi Zhi regret it later.

Father Qin looked at them and smiled, "Of course we’ll go. Other kids have their parents with them, we can’t let our Zhi Zhi be alone."

Gu Zhi was startled, feeling inexplicably choked up. She held Father Qin’s hand and nodded.

Just as Qin Ji and Qin Zheng finished the dishes and came out, they casually asked, "What were you talking about that made you so happy?"

Gu Zhi finally looked up at the two of them.

Under the lights, the two stood in silhouette, almost as tall as the ceiling.

The Qin family had good genes; all the brothers were quite handsome, with well-defined features and tall, slim figures, perfectly inheriting the best qualities of Father Qin and Mrs. Qin.

Eldest brother Qin Ji had a standard look, with a few stern lines between his brows; he was also reserved and taciturn, but very gentle by nature.

Third brother Qin Zheng, however, was fully charismatic, leaning towards a more delicate appearance, but was much more outgoing, being the most talkative one in the Qin family.

The two were just a bit shabbily dressed, but with a little sprucing up, they could definitely be at the level of male gods walking out.

Gu Zhi didn’t say anything, so Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "We were talking about going on the program with Zhi Zhi."

Qin Zheng instantly looked envious, "I also want to go on a variety show with Zhi Zhi."

Gu Zhi gave a faint smile, "If there’s a chance, I’ll take you with me."

The Qin brothers indeed just needed an opportunity to be discovered.

After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Gu Zhi prepared to leave.

Father Qin and Mrs. Qin didn’t insist on her staying, but worried about her going alone, Qin Zheng immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Zhi Zhi, I’ll take you back, I just need to go back to the club dormitory."

He was currently a substitute at an e-sports club, initially a formal e-sports player, but got his position taken due to offending someone.

However, since the contract with the club hadn’t expired, he could only stay there as a substitute.

Gu Zhi nodded and didn’t refuse.

When they arrived at the apartment, it was nearly ten o’clock. Qin Zheng escorted Gu Zhi to the building’s entrance and then went to catch his bus.

Gu Zhi was pondering how to improve the Qin family’s life and didn’t notice Emperor Qi, who was just coming out with the trash as she stepped out of the stairway.

She came to her senses and they briefly greeted each other before Gu Zhi absentmindedly went back to her apartment.

The next day, Gu Zhi arrived at the film set as scheduled.

Her scenes were almost finished. The microfilm wasn’t very long, and since she always acted quickly, she saved a lot of time.

This week, after the variety show broadcast, filming for two more days would wrap up everything.

During the break between scenes, Gu Yiyi treated the whole crew to coffee.

The originally tired crew immediately perked up, feeling great pleasure, and while receiving their coffee, they praised Gu Yiyi as a beautiful, kind-hearted little rich girl.

Gu Yiyi thoroughly enjoyed the compliments.

Gu Zhi didn’t go get one herself, so Tang Jin brought her a cup and found her with her head down doing something.

"Here," Tang Jin handed the coffee to her and casually asked, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Zhi raised her head in response, took the cup, thanked him, and briefly showed him her phone screen.

Tang Jin recognized it instantly; it was a lecture on "The Theory of Performance and Artistic Behavior."

The lecture series was produced by several renowned actors and actresses, a publicly educational program. Qi Han Yu was also part of it.

Gu Zhi was watching intently; everyone’s different understanding and expression of performance had something worth learning.

Tang Jin was a bit surprised and took a seat next to her, unable to restrain himself from saying, "You are studious; if some people were half as diligent as you, their acting wouldn’t be what it is."

Gu Zhi tugged at the corners of her lips and didn’t respond.

Tang Jin didn’t mind, casually asking, "By the way, what’s your connection to the Gu Family? Did you really offend them?"

At his words, Gu Zhi raised her eyes without much expression, "Maybe, why?"

"No big reason, just heard some rumors. The Gu Family almost spent money to snatch away Ye Zizheng’s role from you, and the live variety show you were on almost got affected too, but other investors managed to keep it afloat in the end."

Gu Zhi raised her brows slightly, not surprised. This was typical of the Gu family’s actions.

Seeing her remain silent, Tang Jin recalled something, looking at her with a gossiping face, "What about you and Emperor Qi? Qi Hanyu, how did you two meet, and why do I know nothing about it?"
