38, Stubborn
System: "Host, you're at least half a head taller than them."
Is this related to height and age?
If you get hit, you might get bruised for weeks.
The air remained quiet for a long time.
Gu Xinglan's hands were sweating; this child was very stubborn and still had no intention of stopping his punch.
“Li Hetai… if you have the guts to leave without saying goodbye, then you have the guts not to come back. Look at you now, what’s the difference between you and a stray dog wagging its tail outside?” Gu Xinglan got a little emotional and forcefully shoved Li Hetai’s fist aside.
"You gave him a concussion, and you expect me to clean up your mess?"
"Li Hetai, go wherever you want. This isn't Changgu Villa. I have nothing to do with you anymore, understand?"
“He has absolutely nothing to do with you. If you were a violent maniac, I could call Li Taihe right now and have him send you to a juvenile detention center.”
Gu Xinglan uttered all the words in one breath, her eyebrows furrowed into a deep line, and her eyes revealed a scrutinizing gaze mixed with anger, as if she could penetrate a person's soul and find fault with them inside and out, she was extremely mean.
Xu Mufeng, standing behind Gu Xinglan, had never seen her like this before.
In just two short meetings, he had already come to believe that Gu Xinglan was an honest person who would not lose his temper.
They are the kind of people who are easily taken advantage of, and they are the kind of people he dislikes the most.
"what!"
The sudden flying kick swept Xu Mufeng away.
He fell to the ground with no strength, his left cheekbone slamming hard against the floor, almost biting off his tongue.
Xu Mufeng squinted painfully, making a hoarse sound as he saw the owner of the foot grabbing Gu Xinglan's clothes. The right leg that was kicking out was straight and long, clearly indicating that the person had been trained.
This person had just punched him seven times and kicked him again. He looked pale and weak, but in reality, he was brutal and ruthless. His appearance was the best disguise for him.
Xu Mufeng stared intently until he could no longer hold on, and his eyes closed as he fainted.
Gu Xinglan didn't know what to say, her eyes somewhat vacant.
No one expected that Li Hetai would grab his clothes and use the momentum to kick the person behind him.
“Meng Guanhe, you made my partner faint. I called an ambulance for him. Find him a good doctor…” Gu Xinglan held her phone, her tone still slightly shocked as she spoke.
Before the other end could ask anything, Gu Xinglan hung up the phone and stared straight at Li Hetai.
Without the harshness of someone deliberately trying to complete a task, and without the anger from before, her tone was calm as she asked, "Why...why are you targeting him? Just because he spilled sugar water on me? And because of this bite mark?"
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Gu Xinglan suddenly realized that she seemed to be treating Li Hetai with the same attitude she had in her previous life, and even her questioning was numb.
Li Hetai shook his leg, his bangs were already blown away by the wind, revealing his smooth forehead, and his eyes still held a cold indifference.
But what he actually said was, "Thank you for yesterday..."
After saying that, Li Hetai turned around and walked out the door without looking back.
The system watched the fluctuating survival time on the screen, lost in thought: [Host, I need to restart for a while. Make the most of this time.]
Gu Xinglan was still in a daze.
Just now... that person said thank you?
This is a truly hellish joke.
As he gradually calmed down, Gu Xinglan realized what the system had just told him.
"system?"
No answer was received.
It felt like something was missing in my mind, and then it gradually filled in.
K: [Mr. Gu, I am the administrator. For the time being, I will be in charge of informing you about the duration and rewards.]
"What about the original system?"
K: [Something went wrong; it needs to go back and check for bugs. Don't worry, I'm a professional too.]
"Thank you in advance." Gu Xinglan scratched his face.
The rented room had already been cleaned by the kind neighbors that morning, so Gu Xinglan only needed to mop the floor once.
[Gu Xinglan, you're really something! You single-handedly delayed the start of filming for the show.]
The phone in her pocket rang for only a few seconds before Gu Xinglan pressed the answer button. As soon as the ringing stopped, she heard this sentence.
You can faintly hear the doctor and nurse talking on the other end of the phone.
[An eight or nine-year-old child has marks on both cheeks, and even his teeth are loose. Tell me, how did he get all that?]
Meng Guanhe seemed to be smoking, and his voice was muffled.
"I was... beaten by a child." Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth, but in the end, she still didn't betray Li Hetai.
Exposing this person would lead to even more problems.
[Do you think I believe that? I have all the background information on him. Putting everything else aside, this kid seems honest in public, but he's a bad apple in private. Do you really think he'd suffer such a huge loss?]
Gu Xinglan: "...Then why did you still ask him to film the show?"
A "hmm" came from the other end of the phone: "Good question."
Meng Guanhe did not explain.
But Gu Xinglan could think that using bad kids to generate traffic and topics was very much in line with the purpose of filming the program.
"Never mind, which hospital are you in? I'll make some soup and go over there."
There was a long pause on the other end of the phone, so long that just as Gu Xinglan was about to hang up, the other person said: "[I have other things to attend to. The child's custody is temporarily with you. Someone will transfer him back after the program ends.]"
Gu Xinglan: "It's too early to talk about these things..."
The show needs to be filmed, and it will take at least several months to film, not to mention that there are more than just these two guests.
