Chapter 38
[Brother, what are you yelling at me for? If you have the guts, go and claim your sovereignty. Why don’t you take action? Is it not possible? 】
Men can't say no!
Facing Chi Qi's questioning gaze, Chi Tingsi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled. Fortunately, he had a strong heart, otherwise he would have to stay in the hospital all the time.
Chi Qi buried his head and took a mouthful of rice, thinking that he couldn't go on like this. He deliberately kicked Chi Tingsi under the table and winked at him, hinting that he should act quickly.
But the two brothers really had no tacit understanding, and their brain waves couldn't sync for a long time.
[Oh, I've made it so obvious, why don't you just go ahead and do it, big brother? 】
Chi Tingsi: “……?”
ah? So you didn't have an eye cramp just now?
Chi Tingsi really wanted to say, stop blinking, I don’t understand, just tell me directly from your heart.
Seeing that his elder brother didn't take any action for a long time, Chi Qi became anxious like an ant on a hot pan and couldn't help complaining.
[Brother, don’t be indifferent!] Do you understand? To control a person, you must first control his stomach. Pick up some of his favorite dishes for your sister-in-law to show your presence! Hurry, hurry, hurry, I am the King of Hurry! 】
Chi Tingsi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. So that's how it was. But before he could make any move, Chi Qi's new round of inner voices began.
[No way, no way, brother, you must know what sister-in-law likes to eat! If that's the case, then I'll have to reconsider whether or not to help Big Brother. 】
[Brother can’t even remember his sweetheart’s preferences, is he a scumbag? 】
Thinking of this, Chi Qi came to a conclusion with great sorrow.
[Brother, I am so disappointed in you! 】
“…”
Don’t people need reaction time?
Chi Tingsi lowered his eyes and took a look, then picked up a fish fillet for Lin Qingmian and said stiffly, "Eat more." After a pause, he added, "Remember that you like it."
Lin Qingmian was stunned for a moment, then said politely, "Thank you."
The scene was a bit awkward for a while.
[Ahhh, brother, what are you doing? I will definitely fail if I just copy the answers. 】
The dining table was rectangular, with two people sitting in a row. Chi Qi and his older brother sat in one row, while Lin Qingmian and his junior fellow student sat in another. The two sides were clearly separated, and his older brother could not fit in at all.
Over there, the junior student was still talking about his past experiences, and took the time to glance at Chi Tingsi.
His eyes revealed an unconcealable pride: So what if you are the president! When it comes to love, we are on the same starting line and it is a fair competition!
[When I get back I will enroll my eldest brother in a language arts class so that he can learn how to say sweet words. My sister-in-law is someone you like, not your subordinate. Can you please not use a commanding tone? 】
Chi Qi couldn't bear to watch it and poked the bottom of the bowl angrily.
But soon, he adjusted his mentality and cheered himself up.
[You still have to rely on me at the critical moment!] 】
Chi Qi finished the last bite of the meal, wiped the corner of his mouth, and forcefully interrupted the conversation between the two, "Sister-in-law, will you go home with us after dinner?"
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "sister-in-law".
The junior was indeed stunned, with a confused expression, "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law? Senior, are you married?"
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Lin Qingmian nodded and admitted it frankly.
"Ah?" The junior student was so out of control that he didn't even react when the food he was holding fell. After a while, he lowered his head and said softly, "Senior, I wish you happiness."
Yes, it has been several years. The senior is such a good person, he must be surrounded by a lot of suitors. Why does he think that the senior is still single?
If the other party was single, he would still have a chance to compete, but the senior was married, and after knowing this, he was out of the game instantly.
I blame myself for not being clear-headed. I made a rash move without knowing the senior's emotional state, and I was stupid enough to steal his girlfriend in front of the CEO...
The junior student hung his head, feeling confused for a moment and didn't say anything. After a few minutes, he stood up and left in a daze.
After sending the person away, Chi Qi lowered his head contentedly and drank a sip of soup.
[Phew~ Fortunately, my eldest brother had the foresight to take my sister-in-law to get the marriage certificate. 】
The meal was truly thrilling.
On the way back.
Chi Qi still sat in the front seat, trying to create opportunities for his elder brother and Lin Qingmian to be alone. Not only that, he also took great pains to type, trying to pass on his experience in love to his elder brother - experience gained from novels.
After reading the long text sent by Chi Qi, Chi Tingsi suddenly said, "Take the road to the commercial street."
The driver said okay, but he was confused. That road is prone to traffic jams. Did the president forget?
Then he sighed softly. How could someone so young have such a bad memory?
The driver turned the steering wheel and slowly drove the car into the busy neighborhood.
It was the time when people were getting off work, and there were many people and vendors on the street, and long queues could be seen everywhere.
"Stop at the intersection ahead." Chi Tingsi opened the car door and got out.
After a busy day, Chi Qi no longer wanted to talk and just sat there quietly playing games.
After a long time, Chi Tingsi came back with two bags and a bouquet of flowers in his hand. After getting into the car, he raised the tailgate very rudely.
Chi Qi pricked up his ears and only heard a few words: small cake, like, and give it to you.
His elder brother finally came to his senses and knew how to please the other party. He was very satisfied and sent Chi Tingsi a little red flower emoticon.
[Not bad, not bad. This child is teachable.] 】
After sending Lin Qingmian back to his residence, Chi Qi couldn't wait to look back at Chi Tingsi, blinking his moist eyes, "Brother, did you buy me a small cake?"
Chi Tingsi coughed and said uncomfortably: "The desserts in that store are limited."
So you didn’t buy it?
Chi Qi immediately changed his expression and vented his anger on Chi Tingsi, "Brother, your inaction will make me feel disappointed."
[Heartbroken, the real heartbreak is not about making a fuss...]
Chi Tingsi hurriedly maintained the precarious brotherhood and asked with concern: "Xiao Qi, do you have enough pocket money?"
Chi Qi sighed faintly, "I am a little crab with a broken arm."
Chi Tingsi understood his codeword: no more clamps.
Why is it that I wash my face every day but it’s not as clean as my pocket? 】
Chi Tingsi operated a few times on his phone and said lightly: "I transferred some pocket money to you."
The wailing stopped, Chi Qi opened his phone in one second to check the message notification, then immediately counted the zeros at the end. After confirming that he had counted correctly, the smile on his face gradually widened.
Two hundred thousand, his eldest brother transferred two hundred thousand to him!
Chi Qi was so excited that his words were confused. "Brother, I like you so much. Oh, no, no, don't get me wrong. It's not that kind of like. I mean the like between family members."
“…”
Chi Qi expressed his loyalty to him.
[From this moment on, I am a fan of Big Brother and Sister-in-law. I will protect Big Brother’s love! 】
*
Traffic is high on weekends, and there are usually many people in the live broadcast room.
Not long after Chi Qi started broadcasting, the barrage of comments had already flooded the screen.
[Damn it, you're finally back! ]
[The missing persons return! ]
[Can you be more regular in your live broadcast? There was no notification when the show started, so it really depends on luck whether you can see it or not. ]
[If you want to make money, be more active. Which anchor is like you? Between working hard and playing badly, I chose to work hard and play badly. ]
"Don't attack me. There's no point in attacking me because I can't fight back."
Chi Qi was holding up half of his face in boredom. He had just woken up and was still feeling lazy. He chatted with netizens casually, "Let me think about what to broadcast today?"
[Just sit there quietly and be a mute wife without opening your mouth. ]
[? Shouldn't you ask us what we want to see? Do you have any sense of service? ]
Chi Qi readily changed the topic, "Dear readers, what do you want to see?"
[I haven’t had fun for a long time. Why don’t you play PK and show your talents? It seems like you can always connect with some weird people, which is quite interesting. ]
[I second the point. You are terrible at playing the game. There is no sense of immersion at all. ]
"I don't want to PK. It's fine if you don't help me, but you also go to the enemy's live broadcast room to vote for them. I lose every time." Chi Qi said firmly, "You just want to watch me do the punishment task."
The barrage of comments was full of denials.
[How could that be?] You think too much. ]
[Yes, yes, how could we harm you? ]
"Okay." Chi Qi sighed and said softly, "I'll pamper you one more time."
Click on the option on the side of the live broadcast room, and the system will automatically match him with someone who can connect to the microphone.
The matching result popped up, and then the face of the host on the other side appeared on the screen.
Chi Qi took a look and found that it was an acquaintance!
He greeted her warmly, "Sister Shutong, good morning!"
"Good morning." Lin Shutong asked, "Can I perform first? I want to finish early and rest early."
[Wow! Two of my favorite anchors got together. ]
[These two funny guys... I have a bad feeling. ]
Lin Shutong seemed to have been broadcasting for a long time, and his tone was full of fatigue. "I'm too tired. Let me rest for a while. I really can't dance anymore. Can I change the talent show to telling you gossip?"
Compared to the inappropriate remarks made by Chi Qi in the live broadcast room, Lin Shutong's fans were much more understanding, and the barrage of comments were all advising her to have a good rest.
Lin Shutong cleared his throat and began to narrate, "You all know that I have many friends. About a few years ago, I met a girl online. She was very pretty, gentle and kind. Let's call her Xiao Z for now."
"Xiao Z's mother was in poor health and died of depression. In her last moments, she told Xiao Z a shocking secret that had been buried for a long time. Xiao Z was actually the illegitimate daughter of the richest man in S City. However, the rich man did not know about Xiao Z's existence because Xiao Z's mother gave birth to her in secret."
"Little Z has always envied others for having a father by his side since he was young. He has a deep admiration for his father. After learning about his biological father, he packed his bags and prepared to go to S City to recognize his biological father."
"If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen next. Little Z told her best friend Little Y about this. Due to a series of mistakes and various misunderstandings and coincidences, Little Y took the token and pretended to be Little Z."
"Later, Xiao Z found out about this. Guess what happened?"
[Best friends become enemies? ]
[Tell the rich man the truth and kick your best friend out? ]
[This is definitely unbearable? Little Z takes back everything that belongs to her? ]
[ah? Don’t wealthy people do paternity tests? Does he have an illegitimate daughter? I want to pretend too. ]
“No, no, no.” Lin Shutong kept the secret and spoke slowly, “As I said before, Xiao Z is very kind. She chose to forgive her best friend.”
"Her best friend asked her to apply for a nanny at her father's house in order to let her meet her father. She also became her best friend's personal maid."
[Are you still speaking human language? Why don’t I understand? ]
[Strange, there is an inexplicable familiar feeling. ]
"What's even more shocking is yet to come. When Xiao Z's richest man's father saw her, he fell in love with her at first sight!"
Lin Shutong looked down at the countdown and said, "It's too late. Time is running out. I'll make it short and tell you the ending."
So the audience in the live broadcast room heard a few words that were enough to shatter their three views.
"Little Y ended up being with Little Z's half brother."
"Little Z married her richest dad's security guard."
Lin Shutong raised his phone and asked excitedly, "There are also photos of their whole family having New Year's Eve dinner in my circle of friends. Do you want to see them?"
[look! I want to see what kind of family has such a messed up relationship! ]
[Look!] ]
Lin Shutong turned over the screen of his mobile phone and saw the person in the photo clearly, and the live broadcast room fell silent.
[I spent a long time trying to figure out the relationship between the characters but couldn’t figure it out. You should have said it was Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi earlier! ]
[If you put it that way, "Legend of Zhen Huan" can also be told as a gossip story: the heroine fell in love with her brother-in-law, then got pregnant with his child, but remarried her ex-husband during her pregnancy, and finally made her ex-husband so angry that he died. ]
[A never-before-imagined way to listen to gossip. ]
[Bring your gossip and send me the bagpipes from afar. ]
Lin Shutong's presentation time was over and everyone turned their attention to Chi Qi.
"What I'm going to perform is..." Chi Qi blinked, and his mouth with a superior lip shape opened and closed, "The instrument I am best at."
[Can you play a musical instrument? ]
[Are you bragging? ]
"Why don't you trust me at all?" Chi Qi pretended to complain, "What is the trust between people?"
[Show up!] ]
[Don't pay any attention to him, he can perform a show on his own. ]
Chi Qi said in a rhythmic voice: "What I want to show is that I know there is a tiger in the mountain, but I still retreat fiercely."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a rattle as if by magic, gripped the handle and began to spin it, making rapid and crisp drum sounds.
After rotating three times in both directions, Chi Qi bowed to the camera with great ceremony, "Okay, my performance is over."
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
[…I can’t find words to describe my complicated feelings right now. ]
[I shouldn't have had any expectations of you. How normal can you be? ]
[Damn it, how dare you play tricks on me! ]
[You two, a perfect match, are absolutely amazing together.] ]
[Speechless, contemplative, thinking, exiting, coming back, forwarding to friends, leaving with satisfaction. ]
[Psycho...I'm too lazy to criticize you. ]
After both performances, there was a one-minute fan voting session.
Although both of their performances are hard to describe, Lin Shutong's fans are all female fans who are very tolerant and like to praise, while Chi Qi's netizens are lucky enough not to hold him back and vote in the opposite direction.
The result was not surprising, Chi Qi lost. He was mentally prepared and was not sad, but it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
Because the punishment tasks are assigned by fans, who knows what wonderful ideas everyone will come up with by "brainstorming".
After a few seconds, the designated tasks began to scroll in the live broadcast room.
[The first voice message sent to you in your chat list: Honey, please say something. ]
First on the chat list?
Chi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that the last person he chatted with was An Xun. He and An Xun were used to joking around with each other. It was just a voice message, not a big deal.
What he didn't expect was.
Chi Qi had just unlocked his phone when a new message popped up.
[X]: I'm at your door.
? ? ?
Why are you joining in the fun?
You wouldn't have been able to have fun if you hadn't come earlier, why did you choose to come at this time?
What a living father! I am really impressed!
