Chapter 44: Brother, My Brother, My Dear Brother
Two minutes, the only way to get downstairs is not to take the elevator or the stairs, but to jump out of the window on the 28th floor.
Seeing her fall into silence, Ji Jingchuan kindly reminded her: "Twenty-nine."
"..." Shang Que turned around and sat back down, "No, I'm going. I'll order takeout."
Her easygoing manner made Ji Jingchuan unable to react for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "Why aren't you going again?"
Shang Que looked at him with an expression that said, "What are you pretending to be?" "Don't you want me to go?"
"Yes, but—" Ji Jingchuan blinked and leaned over to ask, "You don't think I'm being unreasonable, do you?"
Shang Que didn't say anything and just pulled his hair.
"Okay, Shang Que! I just tricked you, and you actually took the bait." Ji Jingchuan suddenly exploded, and said indignantly: "How can I be called unreasonable? I'm doing this for your own good. What good intentions can he have in asking you out so late at night?"
Shang Que was too lazy to pay attention to him and was browsing takeout on his phone.
"Why don't you say anything? You don't really think so, do you?" Ji Jingchuan, who received no response, bombarded him even harder: "Shang Que, you actually think I'm being unreasonable? You actually think I'm being unreasonable because of a heartless man?"
He argued confidently, "He's just an ex-boyfriend. I'm your brother, your biological brother, your blood is thicker than water! Shang Que, think for yourself, who's more important, him or me?"
"You are important." Shang Que said immediately, "If you two fall into the water, I will save you first."
Ji Jingchuan was not fooled: "He can swim and he doesn't need you to save him."
"Then if you two quarrel, I'll help you scold him?"
"I won't argue with him. I even deleted his WeChat." Ji Jingchuan urged, "You can delete it too."
Shang Que felt it necessary to explain: "I broke up with him not because he did anything wrong, but because he had something urgent to return to China, and I planned to stay abroad. I broke up unilaterally on impulse."
"Then I won't call him a heartless man anymore." Ji Jingchuan frowned and quickly changed his words: "A useless returnee."
Shang Que thought for a moment and said, "It's still somewhat useful. I had a conflict with you during that episode of the variety show in the countryside. He told me that you had asked him to teach you how to cook, saying you wanted to cook for your sister in the future. That's when I realized you were always saying one thing and thinking another."
"Who's saying one thing and thinking another?" Ji Jingchuan opened his eyes wide, a little angry and embarrassed: "You are not allowed to eat the grass that can't keep its secrets!"
Having said that, that night Shang Que learned from Jing Ya that Ji Jingchuan had added him back on WeChat.
…
And he said he didn't say one thing and meant another.
Even after adding her on WeChat, Ji Jingchuan's attitude towards Jing Ya remained unchanged. Shang Que also noticed that he was only like this towards Jing Ya. As for other male celebrities close to her, whether it was Jiang Yize, who always called her "sister", or Qin Xian, who openly expressed his fandom, or even the male lead in the latest hit drama who was her partner, Ji Jingchuan acted completely indifferent.
He would only find an opportunity to ask, "Who is more important to you, me or Jing Ya?"
This time, Shang Que didn't immediately reply "You are important" or remain silent and let him go crazy like before. She looked at Ji Jingchuan seriously and asked suddenly, "Should I officially announce our relationship on Weibo?"
She suddenly remembered something. There were several stray cats downstairs in the community where Fu Xingzhi lived. He often fed them with food. Among them, there was a tabby cat with the worst temper. Whenever Fu Xingzhi touched other cats, it would pant fiercely.
Later, Fu Xingzhi adopted this tabby cat, vaccinated it and got it a certificate. As a result, it suddenly changed its personality. It even saved some cat food every time it ate, and asked Fu Xingzhi to take it to the stray cats downstairs.
Shang Que felt that Ji Jingchuan's current reaction was very similar to that of the raccoon cat. To use Fu Xingzhi's words, it was a lack of security.
Competing for favor is a sign of insecurity.
Ji Jingchuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he immediately put on airs with a doting attitude: "Official announcement, how are you going to make the official announcement?"
"Just say you're my brother."
"That's it?" Ji Jingchuan frowned in dissatisfaction, "You have a genius brother like me, and your reaction is so calm?"
"The best brother in the world?"
Ji Jingchuan suddenly sneered and said sarcastically, "Isn't Jiang Yize the best brother in the world?"
Shang Que was puzzled: "Why him?"
"You said it on Weibo, you haven't forgotten it, right?" Ji Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, "July 29th at 3:27 pm -"
"Zero fifty-eight seconds."
“…”
After he reminded her of the time with precision down to the second, Shang Que finally remembered that it was a Weibo post she casually sent when the TV series "Let's Be Flying Flowers" was in need of business.
But why did Ji Jingchuan remember it for so long?
"I don't care anyway, he is the best in the world.
The best brother in the world, if you can't think of a better official announcement than this," Ji Jingchuan said word by word: "Then, I, don't, accept it!"

As ST's concert date approached, Ji Jingchuan spent more and more time at the company. After rehearsal that day, everyone squatted on the stage to discuss inviting guests and giving away tickets.
Zenoa asked curiously, "Who are you inviting?"
"I have a few friends outside the circle who want to come and see it. I should give them my tickets." Qin Xian turned around and asked, "What about Chuan? Will you invite Shang Que?"
"Of course, Chuan has been getting along so well with Shang Que recently." Feng Ye suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile, "By the way, Chuan, have you moved? The last time I went to your house to deliver something, the security guard in your community said you didn't live there anymore."
Ji Jingchuan said "hmm" casually: "I'll keep five tickets, and you guys can divide the rest."
"Are they the artists from the variety show I gave you?" Feng Ye asked as he stood up and glanced at them casually.
Ji Jingchuan just casually sent a message in the variety show group, and when he logged out, he saw the unread messages displayed in the top dialog box of the WeChat chat page.
[Shang Que]: I have finished filming, when will you go home?
Feng Ye's gaze narrowed slightly.
go home?
Just when I wanted to take a closer look, Ji Jingchuan suddenly stood up and walked out while replying to the message: "It's okay, I'll go back first."
Qin Xian said "eh": "Why did he leave? I wanted to ask him if he wanted to have dinner together."
Feng Ye said meaningfully: "Maybe he is in a hurry to go back and have dinner with someone."
"Who is he having dinner with?" Zenoya asked gossipingly, "Is he in a relationship?"
Qin Xian didn't believe it: "How is that possible? Isn't it ruining his future if he falls in love now?"
Destroy your own future.
Feng Ye curled his lips: "Yes."

On the other side, Ji Jingchuan drove to the filming location to pick up Shang Que, and the two went home together.
In the car, he casually asked, "Do you watch the variety show group?"
"Not yet." Shang Que had been hungry all day and was drinking yogurt to fill his stomach. Hearing this, he opened WeChat and asked, "What did you send?"
There were dozens of unread messages in the group. Scrolling up, I saw that the first message was from Ji Jingchuan.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: ST concert tickets, reply 1 first come first served.
Jiang Yizhe: 11111
[Ning Sheng]: 1!
【Lu Zhixu】:1.
【Lin Jinyi】：?
【Lin Jinyi】：1
【Jiang Yizhe】: I first responded to @The First Genius in the Universe
[Ning Sheng]: He said reply 1, and you sent 11,111.
[Jiang Yize]: Then you replied 11.
Lu Zhixu: ...That's an exclamation mark.
【Lin Jinyi】: It didn’t say that punctuation marks were allowed. My reply was the most standard. Vote for me @universefirstgenius
Seeing this, Shang Que also sent a 1.
The next second, Ji Jingchuan's avatar popped up in the group chat.
【The First Genius in the Universe】: OK, it’s you @商鹊
Shang Que turned around and saw that Ji Jingchuan was waiting for a red light for more than 80 seconds. He took out his mobile phone and replied to the message.
When the others saw him appear, they followed the formation and started to ask questions.
【Lin Jinyi】: There is something shady going on.
[Jiang Yize]: I don’t accept it.
[Ning Sheng]: Seek fairness, openness and justice.
【Lu Zhixu】：How many tickets are there in total @The First Genius in the Universe
[The Greatest Genius in the Universe]: Five.
Lin Jinyi: ? What’s the point of first come, first served? It’s not like everyone gets a share.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Of course, it is to give you the opportunity to compete and show your admiration for this genius.
Ji Jingchuan raised his eyebrows: "See, Shang Que, it's hard to get a ticket to this genius's concert."
He boasted as if to take credit, "I even reserved the best viewing seat for you."
Shang Que cooperated and put on a touched expression: "To thank you, I have already thought of an earth-shattering copy."
Ji Jingchuan raised the corner of his lips: "What copywriting?"
[Shang Que V: Brother, my brother, my real brother! @JushiwushuangjijingchuanV [Picture]]
The accompanying picture is a photo of the two of them smiling at the camera when they were children. Previously, she and Ji Jingchuan had each posted their own half, but now the full picture was posted, as if the two people who had been separated had found their lost other half.
This Weibo post caused as much shock as Shang Que or Ji Jingchuan's official relationship announcements, and it quickly became a trending topic. Netizens were shocked.
【Mom, mom, my dear mom! 】
Oh my God, oh my God!
[Could it be that he lost the game of truth or dare, so he made such a big deal?]
[How did you find out? You beat Ji Jingchuan into the hospital and found out they have the same blood type?]
[It must be fake, it must be fake. How about we do a paternity test?]
[It feels so real. Do you remember someone compared their faces before and they looked very similar...]
I thought my facial features had changed from arguing so much that I didn't dare argue with people I disliked, for fear of looking like them.
Compared to the surprise of passers-by and netizens, Ji Jingchuan’s fans were the quickest to accept it.
【elder sister! 】
[Sister, it's cold now. Feel my clothes and see if I'm suitable for your brother's wife.]
[I was wondering why my sister always scolds Ji Jingchuan. It's only natural for a sister to scold her brother!]
Ji Jingchuan then appeared in the comment section.
Ji Jingchuan: Is this what you call earth-shattering?
Although he said this, he retweeted Shang Que's Weibo post.
[The unparalleled Ji Jingchuan V: Sister, my sister, my dear sister! @商鹊V]
