Chapter 57: Is Lu Xun actually Lu Yuan's older brother?

The camera focused on the boy's fingers dancing nimbly across the piano keys, confirming that it was indeed him playing, not background music playing in the restaurant.

At this moment, the editor added a holy light to Bian Ji's body and drew many cute little musical notes around him, which slowly floated away as the piano keys moved.

The customers who were originally eating in the restaurant were also attracted by the music. Since they were all passersby, the production team kindly blurred their faces.

But the customers' praise and amazement were recorded.

Everyone took out their phones to film the little boy playing the piano on stage, and asked the owner whose child he was.

[The neighbor's kid must have been born for this!]

[It's obvious his parents have invested a lot in his upbringing; I can't guess he started learning the piano at the age of four, given how well he plays.]

[Zhao Zhao was really cheering from the sidelines; the little baby was completely engrossed, hahaha.]

[After seeing this, Zhao Zhao will probably admire his brother A Ji even more.]

It's good for a child to have an idol they admire and respect; it helps them learn from that role model!

Both children are wonderful; people with pure and clean energy fields tend to attract each other.

[How come every kid around Lu Yuan looks like they could be a child star? They're all not only good-looking, but also incredibly talented.]

After the boy finished his piano performance, he looked completely relaxed and at ease. When he came down, he was calm and composed, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

Afterwards, the two children were taken back to the private room. Lu Yuan and his group had almost finished eating, chatted with their friends for a few more minutes, and then said goodbye.

The car had been driving for a short while when the two kids and the teenager in the car all fell asleep.

Lu Yuan glanced at the car through the rearview mirror, smiled helplessly, and drove even more smoothly.

The production team added a warm and beautiful filter to this scene in post-production, and played soothing and healing background music, making the viewers feel warm inside.

Ahhh, two little babies!

[Two little babies and one big baby; even sleeping, little Lu Cheng is so cute.]

Seeing this, I realized my worries from the previous episode were unnecessary.

I even feel like my life is complete.

Okay, for this moment, let's briefly forgive the world.

I'm going to download this episode and watch it repeatedly later.

It's so therapeutic; it even reduced some of the stress from working overtime.

The audience had no idea that the most amazing scene was yet to come.

As the car was about to drive home, a young man stood in front of the Lu family's villa. Even from his back, one could tell that he had a very refined air about him.

The young man walked slowly forward, his shoulder blades outlining the curves beneath his plain shirt. As the wind swept by, a few strands of his hair were blown up, and his clear silhouette resembled a colorful painting bathed in the setting sun.

"Big brother?" Lu Yuan's voice suddenly came.

The young man in front stopped, turned around, and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yuan?"

The audience was caught off guard and their hearts were struck by the face on the screen.

The strength of Melon TV is that it can make ugly things look ordinary, ordinary things look beautiful, and beautiful things look even more beautiful.

Lu Xun is widely recognized in the industry for his good looks. He is a promising young actor whose career is on the rise, and his fans span a wide range of ages. They love watching his TV dramas.

Lu Xun's appearance at this moment made many people feel that the dimensional barrier had been broken.

[Holy crap! It's Lu Xun!]

Wait a minute! My head's spinning, I'm a little confused...

What did Lu Yuan call him? Big Brother? ? ?

Is that the older brother I've never met before?

[OMG! I saw my husband and my boyfriend in the same frame, and they're even brothers! What kind of surreal plot is this? Even TV shows wouldn't dare to film something like this!]

Are they really brothers?

They both have the surname Lu, so they must be related...

As if the production team knew the audience would be surprised and make sarcastic remarks, the post-production team deliberately added a line at this point: "Unexpected, right? All the people in the industry with the surname Lu have the same father!"

[Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! I stumbled upon a shocking scoop while watching the show!]

I have a question. Did no one ever suspect their relationship before? After all, they share the same last name.

[I had my suspicions, but I assumed they were all stage names and didn't think about it too much. Everyone only knows that Lu Yuan's twin sister is Lu Qi; who the hell would have guessed he has five children?]

Director Lu, you're really something!

Before watching this show, I really knew nothing about them. Turns out they're a genuine celebrity family, literally, their whole family are celebrities!

[Wait, the mother hasn't appeared yet! Judging from this order of appearance, I think Lu Yuan's mother is definitely no ordinary person either.]

How about we make a guess? Could it be a retired actress from the industry?

Netizens have been forced to brainstorm, starting to search for female celebrities in the relevant age range.

Judging from netizens' intuition, Lu Yuan's mother should also be someone in the entertainment industry.

The program is still airing.

Lu Xun picked up the sleeping baby with great gentleness, looking at Zhao Zhao's sleeping face with doting affection.

Just as the video of the Lu family was about to finish playing, the screen abruptly cut to the post-interview segment.

In a small white room, Lu Xun sat on a high stool, being interviewed by the production team.

The program team: "The public knows almost nothing about your relationship with teacher Lu Yuan. Is there anything you would like to say to the audience in front of the screen about this?"

Lu Xun smiled and said, "You'll find out as soon as your show airs, won't you? I think netizens are so smart, they probably guessed about our relationship before, right? There must have been some rumors beforehand."

No! Really, no! I've never combined two people together!

[Perhaps Lu Xun and Lu Yuan are two different types of handsome men, and actors and idols are quite different. People might speculate that the two are related, but no one would ever think they are brothers.]

I'm still not over it; this news is making my head spin. I need to process it.

The program team asked: "If you bump into each other offline, will you greet each other? Or have you been deliberately hiding it from each other, even pretending not to know each other if you meet at an event?"

Without hesitation, Lu Xun said, "I have never deliberately hidden it. I will tell you if anyone asks me. The key is that my brother and I have hardly any overlap in our work, so we have never appeared on camera together. This is the first time we have appeared on camera together on your show."

The production team said, "It is our honor to have invited teachers Lu Yuan and Lu Xun."

Lu Xun joked, "I guess I'm benefiting from my brother's fame? I haven't done much variety show work, so please give me your guidance."

Ahhh, Lu Xun is so gentle and humble, I really like him.

[Lu Yuan and Lu Xun have very different personalities in public; one is upright and honest, the other is cold and aloof.]

The media and paparazzi haven't been able to uncover anything conclusive. I think the Lu family is unfathomable; it's definitely not as simple as Lu Xun claims.

The production team asked, "Is there any possibility that you'll participate in other variety shows or film together in the future? I bet netizens really want to see you two on screen together."

Lu Xun lowered her head and smiled slightly: "Who knows what the future holds? But if I had the opportunity, I would be quite willing. However, my younger brother probably doesn't plan to enter the entertainment industry. He is focused on music, and I still support him in doing what he loves."

[I want to see the brothers together again! Even if Lu Yuan doesn't act, Lu the Movie Emperor, you should participate in more variety shows!]

I've only seen Lu Xun's movies; I didn't expect his personality in private to be so nice! I'm starting to like him.

Are you just a little bit in love? I've completely fallen head over heels!

[I always said the Lu family has a great family atmosphere. Whether it's the elders or the older brothers, they all support their children and younger brothers in doing what they like. That's a healthy and positive way of raising children. Why don't we let the parents of the other guests watch the clips and interviews of Lu Yuan's family?]

The program team: "Could you reveal a few little-known facts about Teacher Lu Yuan that are not known to netizens? These could be things from his current life or from his childhood."

Lu Xun rested his fingers on his chin, a slight smile playing on his lips as if he were thinking of something, but he didn't speak immediately.

After a while, Lu Xun finally spoke up: "Xiao Yuan has always had high expectations for himself since he was a child. I remember once when he was in the second grade of elementary school, he didn't get a perfect score because of a mistake in his writing. He lost a point. He pretended to be calm all the way home and didn't reveal his feelings to his friends. It wasn't until he got home and saw me that he hugged me and cried his heart out. I thought he had been bullied by someone at school."

The production team said, "We never expected that Teacher Lu Yuan would have such a childlike side."

Lu Xun said, "Of course, everyone has a childlike side, especially in front of family. In my heart, he is a very reliable younger brother."

[I've already started imagining what Lu Yuan would look like crying his eyes out in elementary school; I'm pictured with Zhao Zhao's face.]

[Hahaha, Lu Yuan, come quick! Your own brother is spilling your secrets!]

I feel that Lu Yuan is the kind of child who really wants adults to praise him for being strong, but in reality, he's incredibly soft-hearted, gets hurt easily, and relies on his older brother.

[You brought tears to my eyes. Lu Yuan has led SIX GEM through so many ups and downs over the years. As the captain, he always looks so resolute that I almost forgot his age; he's only in his early twenties!]

The program team: "Use three words to describe Teacher Lu Yuan's state at home."

Lu Xun replied, "Relaxed, yet still firm, and very responsible."

[Let's interpret this: the first word means that Lu Yuan can finally relax in front of his family; "firm" likely refers to his dream of music, even working on a music album during his holidays; and "responsible" probably refers to taking care of his younger brother, showing genuine dedication and responsibility—a truly good older brother.]

[The sisters' translation is perfect!]

I wasn't a fan of Lu Yuan before, but now I've decided to become one. His qualities inspire me.

[Investing in him is definitely worthwhile! I highly recommend Lu Yuan, the best guy in the world! He's such a clean-cut young man!]

Lu Xun's appearance as a special guest on the show is probably the biggest highlight of this episode.

After the show airs, it's bound to trend on social media.

When Lu Yinzhao finished eating and secretly went online on his tablet, he saw everyone discussing that Lu Xun and Lu Yuan were brothers.

The Chinese people's love of gossip is indeed not to be underestimated.

Many people are already trying to find out who their mother is.

Lu Yinzhao glanced at his beautiful mother and thought to himself, "Guess, guess! If you can guess it, you're amazing!"

Even if everything is exposed in the future, it won't matter. His parents are the most loving couple, and his older siblings are the best older siblings in the world. His family is extremely happy.

With such outstanding family members, Lu Yinzhao vowed to become amazing herself and make her parents and siblings proud.

He's not just a cutesy, gluttonous kid.

Lu Yinzhao doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry, but she also has skills she wants to develop.

That evening, Guo Hong called Lu Yuan excitedly to tell him that the show had become a huge hit.

If the previous episode featuring Lu Wenyan was only a minor hit, the appearance of Lu Xun in this episode has propelled the entire show to its peak, causing viewership to skyrocket and become unstoppable.

Lu Xun has quite a few fans. When they heard that her older brother was actually appearing on a variety show, they all rushed to watch.

Some people originally came to see Lu Xun, but ended up becoming fans of Lu Yuan and Zhao Zhao, while others became fans of Lu Cheng.

In short, the Lu family won big, and the production team won big too.

Author's Note: The program team: Let me tell you a little-known secret about Teacher Lu Yuan that the general public doesn't know.

Lu Xun's mind was filled with the image of Lu Yuan's arms and legs still mimicking dance poses even after he fell asleep. [Glasses] (But he would never tell his online friends. [Sunglasses])
