Chapter 2
When Gu Qi saw the trending search, the incident had been brewing for more than an hour.
However, the trending search reminded Gu Qi that she had more than one younger brother. If she really had to take one, she might as well ask Wen Renjing.
Gu Qi was about to send a message to ask if he had time when her brain suddenly felt a huge pain.
After a few seconds of dizziness, there was another plot in her brain.
【[Bonus: Award-winning actor's secret love]
Wen Renjing's face showed the same playful smile as always. He was always like this, using a joking attitude to cover up his true emotions. It naturally made people miss his sincerity.
Five years ago, he felt disgusted and repulsed by Shen Anran because of his younger paternal cousin brother's death.
But five years later, he would hide his admiration for Shen Anran in his heart forever. 】
Gu Qi: "......?"
There was such a thing as a bonus in the novel transmigration? So weird.
What surprised Gu Qi even more was that Wen Renjing also had a secret love for Shen Anran? This was actually an emotional entanglement that spans five years? !
Sure enough, where there was a sleeping dragon, there would be a young phoenix.
This was Gu Qi's evaluation of the two younger brothers.
Thinking of the hot search comments she just saw, Gu Qi couldn't help but mentally complain: These two people's aesthetics are indeed quite similar. They like the same person.
That was going to be difficult.
It was obviously not a very suitable choice to find Wen Renjing. If he was dragged into this ‘love game’ five years in advance, maybe the person standing on the rooftop and jumping down would be Wen Renjing.
The progress had once again reached a deadlock.
Gu Qi thought that the worst case scenario would be for the company arranging a fake sibling for her.
Oh, right.
I have to remind Wen Renjing not to clarify their relationship yet, lest that the production team invite him instead of Jiang Lechuan.
[Don't clarify our relationship yet]
Before Gu Qi had time to send a message to Wen Renjing, he sent this sentence first.
Gu Qi: “……?”
Although she had the same thought, what was Wen Renjing thinking?
Gu Qi asked a question mark and Wen Renjing replied immediately.
[Do you know who I was involved in the scandals with the last few times?]
Gu Qi replied directly: […Should I know?]
Wen Renjing sent a few more messages.
[Three months ago, I went hiking with the male director to watch the sunrise]
[Six months ago, I went on a trip with the second male lead in the same crew]
[A year ago, I had a fight with Jiang Lechuan on the roadside. He lost the airplane chess game and refused to pay for dinner]
[My manager is delighted to see the hot search. Quite relieved.]
Gu Qi: “……”
Understood. At least she was a woman.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, accompanied by an enthusiastic middle-aged female voice: “Qiqi, it’s Paternal Aunt, open the door!”
Gu Qi’s eyes lit up. She quickly got up to open the door. The woman was wearing a plain T-shirt that had been washed so much that it looked bleached. Her hair was tied behind her ears with a rubber band. In her hands were two bags full of fruit. She didn’t forget to turn around to usher her son to bring in the things from outside.
Seeing the visitor, Gu Qi smiled sincerely and hurried to help her carry the things without thinking.
"Paternal Aunt, why did you bring so many things again? I already said I don’t lack anything." Despite saying this, Gu Qi helped put the things on the coffee table. She felt heartache for her because it was hard to carry so many things.
"How can they be the same? These are all fruits grown by your uncle. They are delicious and can't be bought outside!" Paternal Aunt took out a big box of cherries from the bag like a treasure and merrily declared: "And this, I bought it at the mall. I remember you love it the most."
"Thank you, Paternal Aunt." Gu Qi smiled at her and said coquettishly: "From childhood to adulthood, Paternal Aunt has always been the best to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, another voice sounded at the door.
The 17-year-old boy had his eyelashes drooped. On his thin shoulders he carried a sack that looked about the same size as him. He was obviously struggling.
Gu Qi quickly got up to help younger cousin brother put the sack off his shoulders, and then looked at her paternal aunt in confusion and asked, "What's in it?"
Jollily, Paternal Aunt explained to Gu Qi, "Last time you came to my house for dinner, you said that the sausages and bacon are delicious. So I stewed ten pounds for you. There are also some peppers and mugwort leaves... I went to find an old Chinese doctor in the village. He said boiling it with water and soaking your feet every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, is particularly effective in treating period pain!"
"Okay." Gu Qi attentively listened and nodded in agreement.
Gu Qi often thought that it would be great if she was the daughter of her Paternal Aunt and Uncle.
In this family, only her Paternal Aunt treated her the best, remembered every word she said, came to see her from time to time, and brought her favorite food to cook delicious meals for her.
Uncle was also great. Uncle was a farmer and had always liked farming. He had planted a few peach trees for her beside the watermelon area.
Paternal Aunt and Uncle doted her dearly. Therefore, Gu QI always treated the younger cousin brother in front of her, Mu Yuan like a biological younger brother.
Compared with biological younger brother’s explosive temper and paternal younger cousin brother Wen Renjing’s mouth that sought beating, Mu Yuan was completely ‘the perfect child’.
Mu Yuan was seventeen this year. He was the Imperial Capital’s well-known genius youth.
In the Imperial Capital’s best high school, he was forever first place in the grade. Getting prizes from various major competitions was a norm like eating a meal.
With his grades, he should have long skipped years and get a guaranteed entrance to a well-known university. But as his ordinary parents felt their child had a withdrawn and introverted personality and should interact with peers of his age more. Therefore they insisted on letting him go through the ordinary people’s school life.
He was a genius after all. It was normal to be a loner.
Besides, Mu Yuan was obviously very well-behaved and sensible. He just didn't like to talk. This was what Gu Qi had always thought-
Before she had that dream today.
Before she was awakened from the dream, her focus was all on Jiang Lechuan being forced to jump off the building and had ignored many details.
But afterwards, the dream that should have been vague became clearer and clearer. Many more people appeared as well as many fragmented snapshots.
Among them, Mu Yuan was also included.
After being siblings for so many years, the words Mu Yuan said to her could be counted on one hand.
"Hello" "Thank you." "En." "Okay" "Goodbye."
En, that was about it. No more.
But in the dream.
Mu Yuan looked at her and Jiang Lechuan with pity.
On that gentle face, the thin lips that were always taciturn uttered two words: "Stupid fool."
Gu Qi: "..."
In addition to Jiang Lechuan jumping off the building, the most shocking thing for Gu Qi in the dream was this scene, Mu Yuan, who was frugal with words, actually scolded them.
She couldn't believe that her most well-behaved and lovely younger cousin brother would say such a thing! He scolded quite fiercely!
So Gu Qi tried to piece together the remaining fragments related to Mu Yuan and sadly discovered a secret: In fact, Mu Yuan was not withdrawn and had no autism. He didn't like to talk simply because -
He looked down on everyone equally and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
He seemed to have some very strange and chuunibyou mentality, thinking that human existence was meaningless and that the series of emotions emitted by humans were extremely stupid.
Gu Qi was more or less shocked. The most well-behaved younger brother in her heart didn't want to pay attention to her. So today she unconsciously changed her addressment for him from ‘Xiaoyuan’ to ‘Mu Yuan’, putting distance between them.
Gu Qi comforted herself, perhaps this was the indifference of genius to the world.
After all, Mu Yuan wasn’t targeting her, but treating everyone equally. Even his attitude towards female lead Shen Anran was very cold and contemptuous.
Wait...! ! !
Thinking of this, Gu Qi's eyes lit up instantly.
He felt the almost burning gaze coming from not far away.
Mu Yuan, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, felt a little uncomfortable and buried his head lower.
At an angle that Gu Qi couldn't see, he frowned in disgust.
He hated being stared at by anyone.
Even if it was just a line of sight, it made him feel dirty.
＊
At night, at the dinner table.
Paternal Aunt kept clipping up food for Gu Qi. Looking at the ribs piled up like a mountain in the bowl, Gu Qi took a deep breath and asked casually: "Aunt, is Xiaoyuan free recently? I accepted a variety show and need to take a younger brother with me. I want Xiaoyuan to accompany me."
Since Mu Yuan hated everyone equally, taking him with her was the best solution.
He wouldn't like Shen Anran. More accurately, he wouldn't like a living person at all. Naturally he wouldn't follow in Jiang Lechuan's footsteps.
Paternal Aunt cheerfully agreed: "Okay, then you take care of him more and take him out to play and make some friends."
Mu Yuan himself didn't care. He just ate quietly as if he wasn't the one being mentioned.
Anyway, whether it was in school or recording a show, it was all equally boring to Mu Yuan. There was no difference, it was all arranged by his parents.
＊
After dinner.
Because of Paternal Aunt’s car sickness, Uncle rushed over and sent her home on a motorcycle. So the task of sending Mu Yuan back was naturally given to Gu Qi.
On the way back, Gu Qi only said one sentence to Mu Yuan.
"Mu Yuan, promise your sister that no matter how beautiful the female star you see is, you won't date during your teens."
She stared at Mu Yuan with a very serious expression.
Mu Yuan: "..."
He felt today was very strange.
His initially not smart maternal elder cousin sister kept looking at him with a look of hesitation. Now she suddenly said such inexplicable words.
He felt uncomfortable all over.
Have to go back sooner and take a shower.
Thinking so, Mu Yuan nodded perfunctorily. His appearance still looked as gentle and well-behaved as ever.
＊
If she had known, she should have let Mu Yuan go back by himself.
Gu Qi was very upset when she saw her name on the hot search again just after she got home.
How could she have neglected it? She was on the hot search with two top stars today. Would the paparazzi let her go?
＃Gu Qi! Male high school student＃
The video the paparazzi released was a sneak shot from the entrance of the apartment until Gu Qi giving Mu Yuan a lift home.
The worst thing was that Mu Yuan came in school uniform today. So the nature of the whole thing changed.
The title was quite attention grabbing.
[Shocked! Gu Qi suspected of meeting with a male high school student late at night! The third boyfriend of the queen of gossip had surfaced! ]
Netizens have been bombarded by the amount of information one after another and could hardly think.
[Three relationships on the hot search in one day? Gu Qi, you are my only Elder Sis (stand up) (salute)]
[The one who can beat Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan at the same time is...male high school! ]
[Long live male high school!!!]
Because Mu Yuan was completely unprepared, his face was clearly captured by the camera.
[Damn... He's so handsome. Is he considering debuting? 】
[Isn't this Chenyang Entertainment hyping up a new artist? 】
Some netizens lamented that it would be a pity if he didn't debut with this beautiful face. Some classmates from the same school recognized him.
[Wait, how come he looks like our school's academic god... 】
Soon, a photo of Mu Yuan wearing a school uniform on the honor roll and ranking first in the grade was released. Same for all the individual subjects.
Netizens: "???"
[Wait, you said this is the first in the grade of Imperial Capital No. 1 School? 】
[Gu Qi's boyfriend has already moved from the entertainment industry to the future academic circle, right? 】
Some people were puzzled.
[It sounds impressive, but he's just a high school student after all. Even when it’s Imperial Capital No. 1 School, it’s not a big deal.]
Someone immediately came to give him a lesson about Mu Yuan.
[I’m in the same class as Mu Yuan. Our teacher often mentioned him in class and directly said that he is a genius in chemistry. By the way, our teacher is the one who is afraid of him when the college entrance examination papers are set every year. ]
[Let's put it this way, there is only a competition that Mu Yuan doesn't want to participate in and no first place that he can't get]
[Although it's not very polite, I would like to ask if Gu Qi has a fourth boyfriend? ]
[+1 above. I want to broaden my horizon more]
Gu Qi: "..."
Biological Younger Brother, Paternal Younger Cousin Brother, Younger Cousin Brother.
Very good, the whole family should be on the hot search list.
