“XiXi”.

Having finally escaped the crowd of fans and unaware that he had become a trending topic, Jiang Ye covered his face and discreetly arrived at Jiang Xibai's hospital room, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Second Brother, you're here?" Jiang Xibai didn't have time to put away his phone. He looked up at the person who had arrived, and a pure and beautiful smile appeared on his face.

He sat on the hospital bed, wearing a blue and white striped patient gown. The glass window of the private room was clean and bright, and the brilliant golden sunlight shone in, making Jiang Xibai seem to be surrounded by radiance.

It makes people feel soft-hearted.

They wouldn't even utter a harsh word.

Jiang Ye had no idea that the slight estrangement he had felt towards his younger brother last night, caused by Qin Ge's instigation.

He stepped forward and casually asked, "What is Xixi doing?"

"Oh, I'm browsing Weibo." Jiang Xibai told the truth, not intending to hide it from Jiang Ye, and even took the initiative to hand his phone, which was lit up and had the Weibo interface on the screen, to Jiang Ye to see.

Jiang Xibai never shied away from admitting his interest in the entertainment industry in front of Jiang Ye. He personally enjoyed the feeling of being a big star surrounded by admirers, but Jiang Ye would mistakenly think that this was Jiang Xibai showing concern for him.

After all, he's in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Ye glanced at his phone and happened to see the photo of the 'noble prince driving a limited-edition luxury car' that had gone viral on Jiang Xibai's phone screen. He had only glanced at it casually out of respect for his younger brother, but his pupils quickly contracted and his expression froze.

—Isn't this Qin Ge?

Jiang Ye suddenly felt the bruises on his face start to hurt again, and it was burning hot.

Seeing this, Jiang Xibai asked in confusion, "Second Brother, what's wrong? Do you know him?"

“…I don’t know him!” Jiang Ye denied instinctively.

He didn't recognize his biological brother, with whom he was related by blood, and almost developed feelings for him, only to be mercilessly beaten up...

How dare he say that?!

Jiang Ye was concerned about his reputation, so he immediately distanced himself from the situation.

"Does Second Brother really not know him?" Jiang Xibai's eyes flashed, a deep and mysterious light passing through them. Judging from Jiang Ye's behavior, he didn't believe that Jiang Ye had nothing to do with this person.

However, Jiang Xibai said softly and gently, "Oh, Second Brother doesn't know him? I think he's really handsome, and I'd love to be friends with him. If you know him, Second Brother, you could introduce me to him."

...Making friends with Qin Ge? Xi Xi is dreaming! Qin Ge probably hates Xi Xi to death!

Jiang Ye's affection for Jiang Xibai couldn't possibly change so quickly just because of Qin Ge's few provocative words yesterday, so he wanted to dispel Jiang Xibai's unrealistic idea, "Xixi, he's not a... good person, don't associate with him!"

Damn it.

He used to curse Qin Ge with all sorts of nasty things, but now that he only said Qin Ge wasn't a good person, he actually... felt guilty!

Jiang Ye's expression turned quite unpleasant.

He didn't notice the contradiction in his words—

How can you know someone isn't a good person if you don't know them?

Jiang Xicai noticed it, but he didn't expose it. He just obediently said, "I'll listen to Second Brother."

The matter seemed to have been swept under the rug, but Jiang Xibai secretly noted Jiang Ye's unusual behavior and thought: Perhaps we should have someone inquire about the boy's identity.

Qin Ge, who had been secretly watched by Jiang Xibai, had already returned with a full load. He drove back to Jiyuan and was greeted by Aunt Yun, "Young Master Qin is back. Did you have fun?"

Qin Ge didn't have much money left, so she wasn't exactly happy, but she managed to buy herself some daily necessities and a change of clothes.

After all, he would stay at Jiyuan until Huo Beiyuan's leg was healed before leaving.

"Where is Uncle Huo?" Qin Ge asked.

When Aunt Yun heard him ask Huo Beiyuan, she seemed to have imagined something and her smile widened, "Master Huo got off work early today and is in his study upstairs!"

Qin Ge handed the things he had taken from the car to the maid and said thoughtfully, "I'll go find him."

It's a good opportunity to see Huo Beiyuan's legs.
