Chapter 51 Clear is actually Lu Yuan's younger brother

Lu Yuan didn't want to click on this topic; he didn't want to follow the netizens' thought process.

After sending a message to his agent, he put away his phone, picked up the bottled water on the table, and gulped it down.

Unfortunately, Gong Yao was oblivious to the situation and insisted on reading out the netizens' comments.

"Wow~ The cool idol has completely transformed into a gentle man. The way he coaxes children is even more skilled than my mom."

"Ah~ the way my brother smiles, it's like it's struck my heart. Right now, I want to be that kid!"

"Nobody thinks Lu Yuan's look and demeanor on the show are particularly... 'housewife'? Sorry, I'm just saying, it's just my personal feeling."

"Hahaha! Lu Yuan is so good at comforting children! Great, we're saved! It's a male mother, it's a boy—"

Whoosh—Bang—!

"ah--!"

An empty mineral water bottle flew at high speed, hitting someone squarely on the forehead, stopping them from continuing to read, followed by a scream.

"Shut your mouth if you don't want to die." Lu Yuan wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes and coldly swept over, like a long nail firmly nailed to the other person.

For a second, Gong Yao even stopped breathing.

Oh no, I've made the boss angry.

"Ah, what did I just say? What did I just see? How come I... I can't remember anything at all? Ah, I think I've suddenly lost my memory, I can't remember anything!"

Gong Yao started to play dumb, holding his head and putting on an immersive performance, "Since that's the case, the only way to open up our Ren and Du meridians is through dance practice! Let's go! Boss! Let's go practice dancing!"

Gong Yao tossed her phone aside, skipped and hopped into the dance studio, and began practicing dancing on her own initiative.

Lu Yuan: "..."

Others: "That idiot."

Before long, the trending topics returned to normal.

The trending topic became #LuYuan'sBrothers#.

That's right, the show has already featured Lu Cheng.

The guests in the observation room were also watching and discussing, and the audience could see their reactions to the video.

Host Luo Jin: "Huh?? Besides this little kid, Teacher Lu Yuan actually has a younger brother? Ye Mo, as his teammate, did you know that?"

Ye Mo nodded: "Yes, I know that. Team Leader Lu occasionally mentions his younger brother to us. Both of his younger brothers are minors."

Lei Dan: "After watching this clip, I can say with great confidence that the relationship between these brothers must be very good. Although they bicker and tease each other, that kind of atmosphere cannot be faked."

Wang Qiao: "I agree with what Teacher Lei said. For some reason, seeing how the brothers get along, I feel a little envious. I am an only child, and after I started working, I rarely go home. I always feel that my relationship with my relatives is not very close."

Luo Jin listened and nodded silently: "I understand what you mean. Nowadays, many people find it difficult to express their love verbally, but they tend to vent their emotions on the people closest to them."

Ye Mo: "This is the first time I've seen our captain's life at home. It's really quite different from when he's working. Captain Lu is indeed a very loyal and righteous person. It's a lucky thing to be friends with him."

【Aaaaaah! Let's see who dares to say there's discord within their group now!】

[Lu Yuan's goodness can only be truly understood by those who have genuinely gotten to know him, sob sob...]

I was a little touched by what I heard!

[By the way, Lu Yuan, this high school student, is quite handsome!]

[Hmm, doesn't anyone else think his younger brother looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.]

The video continues playing.

The little boy in the picture woke up Lu Cheng, who was sleeping in, and the three brothers sat together in the restaurant to have lunch.

Lu Yuan put some food into the little one's bowl and carefully instructed, "Eat slowly, don't rush, be careful not to choke."

"Mmm!" The little one picked up the ribs with his hands and started gnawing on them.

Haha! This kid looks so hungry eating!

【Seriously, you guys don't order takeout when you watch variety shows? I'm already eating.】

[Isn't anyone going to praise Lu Yuan's cooking skills? The colors look great, and the little brother is eating so heartily, it must taste delicious.]

Anyone who's watched the SIX GEM variety show knows that Lu Yuan can cook.

No, I remember he mostly cooked simple fast food in the group's variety show; I rarely saw him cook Chinese food.

[Lu Yuan really did hide his true abilities; he's clearly such a good cook.]

The little one diligently finished all the food in his bowl, and after eating, he smiled and praised, "Third brother's cooking is delicious! It smells so good!"

"Thank you, baby. Just tell me what you want to eat next time, and I'll make it for you." Lu Yuan looked tenderly at the little one sitting in the high chair.

"Then I want to order too. Next time, I want to eat spicy hot pot." The boy next to him also raised his hand.

"Want some free food?" Lu Yuan glanced at the boy speechlessly.

"..." The boy chewed unhappily.

Haha, oh my god, those three brothers are hilarious!

[I thought I'd never hear the word "baby" from Lu Yuan in my entire life, awsl! He actually called him baby, why didn't I get born into the Lu family?!]

[Hahaha, Lu Yuan's attitude towards his two younger brothers is so distinct, it's hilarious! That expression just now, changing in a second! I want to make a GIF of it!]

The video then showed Lu Cheng trying to help wash the dishes, but she tripped and fell, cutting her finger. Lu Yuan went over to clean up the mess and gave Lu Cheng a band-aid.

I think I've figured it out; Lu Yuan is just all talk and no action.

He treats both his younger brothers very well. Although his high school brother is a bit mischievous, and Lu Yuan complains about it, he still worries a lot when his brother gets hurt.

[And did everyone notice a small detail? Lu Yuan put the broken plate in a special trash bag and even put a label on it that read "Contains broken pieces, please handle with care."]

[I saw it! Just this one detail shows that Lu Yuan must be a very kind person.]

[A heart brimming with the fierceness of a tiger, yet gently sniffing out the beauty of a rose!]

[Oh no, I'm going to become a fan of Lu Yuan! I only knew him before, but now I've decided to become a fan. He embodies all my fantasies about the older brother character.]

The video continues to switch, showing Lu Cheng lying in the living room doing a test paper, with the little one sleeping behind him, slowly waking up from his sleep.

In post-production, we added a lot of cute special effects to the little baby.

While asleep, a snot bubble was drawn on the nose, and several "zzz" symbols representing sleep dynamically floated on the screen.

As soon as the little one woke up, the "snot bubble" effect drawn in post-production shattered.

The little boy rubbed his eyes and quietly watched the boy do his test.

The child is so well-behaved; they don't need to be fed or soothed to sleep.

Yes, even when it's awake, it sits quietly next to me and won't disturb anyone else.

I feel like he knows his older brother is studying and doesn't want to disturb him. How can a child be so smart and considerate!

What I'm saying is... could I send this kid from Lu Yuan's family to play with?

[Hey ladies, go to sleep now, you can dream about anything.]

In the video, after watching his older brother work on a test paper for a while, the little boy started poking at a certain spot on the test paper.

"Zhao Zhao, you're awake?" the boy said with a smile. "Did you come to see your fourth brother do his exam? This is your fourth brother's homework."

The little one continued poking and prodding at a certain spot.

Why do I feel like the little one is choosing the answer for his older brother?

Could you please zoom in? I can't even see what the questions are.

The baby is so incredibly cute! His chubby little fingers are so cute, such short, fleshy little hands. He's just too adorable!

Since Guo Hong had promised Lu Yuan, he certainly wouldn't release any clips that would give people a clue; many close-up shots were cut out by the production team.

Lu Yinzhao's "genius" behavior was well concealed.

From the audience's perspective, it might just be that the little boy was bored and wanted his older brother to play with him.

"Zhao Zhao, would you like to do the test paper with your fourth brother?" Lu Cheng patted the little guy's head.

"Um!"

So the boy hugged the little one and gave him a pen, and the two of them, one big and one small, looked at the test paper together.

[Frog Fun! One dares to teach, the other dares to learn!]

[I was originally planning to fast-forward through this part since Lu Yuan wasn't there, but after watching it, I realized it's actually fine without him. I could watch their interactions all day; they're so funny.]

[You're all charmed by Lu Yuan, but I'm charmed by Zai Zai, hahaha! So cute and adorable, yet so clueless!]

"Zhaozhao, take a break. How about I play a couple of games?" the boy asked the little one in his arms.

"Fourth brother, start quickly!" The little boy's eyes lit up, his face full of excitement.

Then, the familiar sound effect of a popular game starting up appeared in the video.

【？？？？】

[I recognize that voice so well, they're playing PGW!]

Are toddlers starting to play this game now?

[He's just watching his older brother play, okay? What bad intentions could a little brat have?]

[Isn't it bad for the child to be so young to watch these video games?]

It's not really good, but checking it occasionally should be fine.

[Lu Yuan, come quick! Your eldest brother and your youngest brother are fighting PGW!]

I didn't get a close-up shot when I was writing the exam paper, but here I do get a close-up.

The boy's fingers were quick and nimble, and his movements were skillful; he won both games smoothly.

Every time they won, the little one would stand by and cheer, shouting with all his might.

"Fourth brother is awesome!"

"Fourth brother is so amazing!"

I want to apologize for my earlier dismissive attitude. I play this game myself, and I have to admit, my brother is really good. I can't even pull off that move. Turns out, I'm the one who's bad!

How can he play "Dark Night Wind Chimes" so well? Or is it just that young people are all quick-witted?

No, no, no, I'm only a few years older than him; my reaction time is longer than the sun's orbit.

[My brother's move was pretty impressive.]

[I initially thought I was just watching a lifestyle variety show, but for a moment I almost had a hallucination that I had switched to an e-sports channel. Lu Cheng is awesome!]

Wait a minute! I just said Lu Yuan looked familiar, and now I finally remember where I've seen him before! Isn't he the rookie champion of this year's PGW Spring Regular Season? Holy crap!

[I don't follow the esports scene, can someone explain if this is true?]

[Just checked the official website and it's him! He's the youngest professional player in this year's competition, his ID is Clear, and his real name is Lu Cheng! Ahhhhh!]

[Ahhh! A girl who likes Lu Yuan and enjoys watching PGW matches is so happy!]

[Stop talking! I'm a fan of UPW, and I only just realized Clear is Lu Yuan's brother! I'm so ashamed!]

At the company, when Lu Yuan came out of the dance practice room to rest again...

"Boss, we're trending again." This time, it was Wei Zuo who said this.

Lu Yuan: "?"

"It's your brother..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear it," Lu Yuan interrupted before the other person could speak.

He didn't want to hear any more offensive trending topics. The current online atmosphere was really bad and needed to be rectified!

Xiang Zhiyun explained, "It's not you, it's your brother trending on social media, it's Xiao Cheng..."

"Him? What happened to him?" Upon hearing that it was his younger brother trending on social media, Lu Yuan paused and turned to ask.

"Someone recognized him as a professional gamer."

"Oh, that's it?"

"Um……"

"That's alright then. Take a break and go through those eight beats again."

Everyone: "..." What an indifferent captain.

When Lu Cheng's team won the championship, Wei Zuo and Gong Yao realized that the captain's younger brother was not just a simple trainee at all.

It turns out he's a member of the star team UPW.

Because they had all added each other as WeChat friends, Lu Cheng was questioned by Gong Yao that day. Lu Cheng no longer hid it and openly admitted it, even shamelessly asking for praise in their small group chat.

After that incident, neither Gong Yao nor Wei Zuo dared to play games with Lu Cheng again.

They started playing professionally at such a young age and even won a championship.

Sure enough, even his younger brother, who is as abnormal as Team Leader Lu, is no ordinary person. They were just being too simplistic!

*

On the other side, Lu Cheng was thrilled to see the trending topic.

He ran three laps around their team's training room while holding his phone.

"Coach! Coach! Did you see that? I've been recognized by the fans! Hahaha!"

Coach Zheng sighed and facepalmed: "Are you sure those are your fans? And not UPW fans?"

"Hey, now that this show's aired, everyone's become my fans! Finally, someone's discovered my charm! Hahaha!"

Lu Cheng, a teenager with delusions of grandeur, put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly.

The team members: "..."

Author's Note: Teammate: Boss, we're trending! [Glasses]

Lu Yuan: ... (His body trembled) (Don't come any closer! You're about to get PTSD, bro!) [Cracks open]
