Chapter 249 Brothers, is this how you promote our company?
After school at 3:30 p.m., Gu's father came to pick up Gu Fulai.
Gu Fulai had told his father in advance that Yoyo had agreed to come to their home as a guest, and that four other children would also be coming: one was Daidai, and the other three were triplets who joined later.
On the way to pick up Gu Fulai, Gu's father prepared six extra fruit platters and handed them to Youyou and the others, feeling sorry for them because they had worked hard studying and needed to replenish their energy after school.
When we arrived at Gu Fulai's house, we found that the living room was already stocked with snacks and toys for children, as well as some picture books.
Holding Yoyo, Gu's father put the little one down and said gently, "Yoyo, you play with your brothers, and Uncle will go to the kitchen to make something delicious, okay?"
The way he acted was as if Yoyo was his daughter, and Gu Fulai was the one who had come to visit him.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle. You've worked so hard, Uncle." The little guy placed his hands on his lower abdomen, bowed slightly, and thanked him in a soft, sweet voice.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle." Daidai also bowed slightly, mimicking the gesture.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mr. Gu smiled broadly.
Just as Gu's father was about to enter the kitchen, Gu Fulai suddenly asked, "Dad, where's my mom?"
Didn't we agree that Mom and Dad would be home together to entertain the kids? Why is Mom going back on her word again?
“Your mother’s company has a new project under urgent development, and time is a bit tight, so she may have to work overtime, but she said she will try to be back before dinner,” Mr. Gu said with a smile.
Gu Fulai's eyes visibly dimmed.
He broke his promise again.
It's overtime again, overtime every day. Do adults really have that many overtime shifts to do?
"Go to the living room and play with your younger siblings," Gu's father nudged Gu Fulai.
The little ones don't seem to be that fond of toys.
Gu Fulai then led them to visit his room.
The room is large, with a simple yet grand style. There is a drum set in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and ten meters away, there is a white piano.
"Wow, Fulai, you can not only play the drums, but you can also play the piano!" Daidai asked in surprise.
“Yes, I really like music because these melodies can make me feel comfortable and excited, and different rhythms can make me feel different emotions,” Gu Fulai said.
"Can you call us and let us hear it?" Daidai asked, her eyes full of expectation.
He also likes the drums and music, but his talent doesn't seem to lie in music. Instead, he has a talent for astronomy, and one of the academicians in the astronomy club even praised him.
Gu Fulai didn't agree immediately, but instead asked Yoyo, "Yoyo, do you want to hear it?"
As the host, he had to consider the feelings of every guest who came to his home.
"Mm." Yoyo nodded.
"Alright, then I'll make a fool of myself." Gu Fulai sat down in front of the drum set, picked up the drumsticks, and began to play rhythmically.
Everyone was immersed in the music, enjoying the various emotions it brought, and moving to the rhythm of the music.
After the song ended, Zhan Jingyang pointed out a very subtle mistake, which made Gu Fulai realize the error.
"Brother Jingyang, you're amazing! I've always felt there was something off about my drumming, but now that you've explained it, it all makes perfect sense. Brother Jingyang, from now on you're my brother!" Gu Fulai excitedly recognized Zhan Jingyang as his elder brother on the spot, putting his arm around Zhan Jingyang's shoulder, looking like two close brothers.
Hehe, if I acknowledge Zhan Jingyang as my older brother, then my little sister Yoyo will rightfully become his sister too, hehehe, I've gotten a great deal.
"No big deal, no big deal." Zhan Jingyang waved his hand dismissively, but couldn't suppress the smirk on his face.
"No, you can't acknowledge Zhan Jingyang as your older brother. If you do, then my sister will become your sister too. No, absolutely not! No one can take our sister away from us. In this world, our sister only has three older brothers, no other brothers." Zhan Jingxi reacted quickly and understood Gu Fulai's thoughts.
Zhan Jingyang belatedly realized that he had almost been tricked by this kid, and his sister was almost snatched away.
"No need for that, brother. I can consider being your teacher. I think I'm more than qualified to be your teacher."
As Zhan Jingyang spoke, he walked to the drum set with a cool and standard posture. He picked up the drumsticks and held them in his hand as easily as if he were holding a pen. After twirling them between his fingertips, he struck the drum with one blow, and the dynamism, melody, and stirring emotions immediately came through.
The young boy is full of passion and energy, displaying a quirky and roguish charm.
After the piece was finished, there was not a single flaw to be found; it was so perfect that it was astonishing, especially the highly difficult and extremely classic piece.
Gu Fulai and Daidai instantly became his little fans, looking at Zhan Jingyang with even more admiration.
Yoyo looked at her conspicuous second brother with a look of disgust. Sigh, at his age, second brother is at the age where he loves to show off.
"He's really something." Zhan Jingxi couldn't stand it anymore and muttered under his breath.
“He’s at that age where he likes to pretend,” Zhan Jingwen agreed.
"Yoyo, little sister, do you want to try it too?" Gu Fulai asked Yoyo, who was standing to the side.
"My sister can play the piano. She's at the top level, she's amazing."
He shouted excitedly, and in the process of praising her, he went a little overboard.
“Yes, my sister is a grade 10 pianist,” Zhan Jingwen said, his serious expression suggesting he wasn’t joking.
Yoyo: Brothers, is this how you promote our place? I feel so much pressure.
