Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Begging You to Help Me Eat
The classroom was too cramped, so Gu Yixing had everyone line up outside in the open space.
Gu Yixing picked up a withered branch and swung it in the air, rotating 380 degrees. It wasn’t a quick rotation, but a slow one, with his gaze fixed on the tip of the branch in his hand. Suddenly, using the momentum of the spin, he extended the branch with a thrusting motion.
A “swhoosh” sound was heard, indicative of the force behind the thrust.
His left leg stretched out into a split, thrusting the branch upwards, exuding an aura capable of piercing the sky.
His foot snapped back abruptly, kicking up dust from the ground, which created a somewhat hazy effect.
There were actually more movements such as bending at the waist and somersaults, but Gu Yixing, fearing the children might get hurt if they imitated him, simplified everything.
As Top Gu, he rarely performed these actions anymore.
Now, his fans only saw his glamorous exterior.
They had no idea how hard he worked in his youth to hone these skills.
He wasn’t born a child star, but he started learning his craft even earlier.
He began training in martial arts at the age of three, practicing vocal projection, and studying Peking Opera martial roles.
In the opera troupe, getting up early and retiring late, falling flat on one’s face, or breaking bones were all common occurrences.
Later, after being discovered by talent scouts, he entered the entertainment industry. Who could have known that the martial role performer with heavy stage makeup back then was now the Top Gu they adored?
Nobody dug up this chapter of his life, as the company had effectively erased it.
The village children, who had never witnessed such a spectacle, might not even have physical education classes if it wasn’t for the fact that sports scores mattered.
Now, seeing this dance-like yet powerful swordplay filled the kids with longing.
Gu Yixing had them pick up branches themselves and spread out a bit so no one got hurt.
Gu Yixing performed a movement and the children followed with the same movement.
Time flew by too quickly, and when the bell rang, the children were still eager for more.
Gu Yixing told them to stop practicing, and they obediently followed him back to the classroom.
Each child received an egg, a meat bun, a big steamed bun, and a bowl of tofu shepherd’s purse soup.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do; Gu Yixing and the others received the same food.
Xiao Lingzhi was picky with food. After taking a bite of the meat bun and tasting the gamey flavor, she lost her appetite.
Little Steamed Bun had some tofu shepherd’s purse soup and ate an egg, but couldn’t eat anymore, leaving behind a meat bun and a big steamed bun.
Seeing Little Taotie eating with relish, he hurried over, holding the bun with both hands and offering it to Little Taotie like a treasured gift, “Sister Little Taotie, eat!”
Little Taotie’s face flushed red as she shook her head, “You eat, I can’t take your food.”
Little Steamed Bun touched his little belly, his big eyes fluttering, “Full, full!”
Believing his words when she saw his stomach bulging, Little Taotie still felt embarrassed as she blushed, “Then you must tell me when you’re hungry, I’ll find something for you to eat!”
Little Steamed Bun nodded vigorously and pushed the bun towards Little Taotie’s mouth.
Little Taotie accepted it and took a bite.
Seeing her eat, Little Steamed Bun giggled happily, thrilled beyond words.
Little Taotie felt as if she had been fed by Little Cub and blushed even more.
Xiao Lingzhi, having eaten an egg and sniffed the soup, didn’t feel like eating it and pushed the untouched big bun and soup toward Little Taotie, “I really don’t want to eat this, but wasting food is shameful. Can you help me out? Please, Little Taotie!”
Little Taotie’s eyes widened, she never expected someone to beg her to eat.
Looking at the meat bun that Xiao Lingzhi had taken a bite of and left in front of her, Little Taotie asked in puzzlement, “What about this bun, aren’t you going to eat it?”
“I’ve already bitten it, how can I give it to you?” Xiao Lingzhi sighed, her face forlorn, “When I’m really hungry, I’ll close my eyes and swallow it down!”
“Is it that bad?” Little Taotie hesitated, then said, “Then I’ll help you eat it too, okay?”
