Qin Xun came out of the villa with a heavy heart, but his mind was extremely clear. What he had stolen in the past two years was Gu Chi's life. All the people who followed him and admired him should have belonged to Gu Chi.
In fact, he could also vaguely sense that since his character had been constantly collapsing, the system's control over him had become weaker and weaker. Sometimes he would even suddenly go offline while talking. It turned out that all of this had traces to follow.
Wouldn't it be much easier to return Gu Chi's things to him? He didn't value reputation in the first place, not to mention that it was snatched from Gu Chi, which made him hate it even more.
Anyone who wants these things can have them.
The next morning, he got up early and rushed to the crew, forgetting even to have breakfast. However, his agent just kept complaining that he was slow and couldn't get the reputation of being dedicated that the reporters praised him for.
Qin Xun shrugged and didn't pay much attention to him. He had been kept in the dark about the things his agent had done secretly without telling him. When Aunt Luo and Uncle Gu laid out all the data, Qin Xun took a deep breath. His agent had actually done so many evil things behind his back.
No wonder some things were pinned on him even though he clearly had no fault of them. It turned out that it was his agent who did it in his name.
At this time, the faint voice of the system came through again, and Qin Xun immediately became excited. The stupid system was finally online, and he wanted to see what tricks it would come up with next.
"Your luck value is almost at zero. Tomorrow you must find a way to get Gu Chi and Xiao Yu to quarrel and dislike each other, and then get some luck from them, or get something they really like. Then I will help you defy the will of heaven and save your life."
Every word it said seemed to be for Qin Xun's consideration, but in fact, only it knew what it was thinking.
Qin Xun looked flustered and said anxiously, "Okay, please help me."
The system's silly voice sounded again, "Okay, if you do as I say, I will make sure you shine brightly."
"Thank you! I will definitely be obedient." Qin Xun said with a nod and a bow, his tone was as humble as it could be.
"As long as you obey me, I will definitely help you take your career to the next level." The system continued, "Tomorrow, you must bring me something they like, and I will cast a spell to help you win another Best Actor award."
Qin Xun nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Okay, thank you very much, I will definitely get it."
"Well, it depends on your performance tomorrow."
After saying this, the system on the other end seemed to have sensed something and quickly went offline. Qin Xun looked over and saw that it was Xiaoyu and Gu Chi walking towards him hand in hand.
Qin Xun stood still and asked tentatively, "Xiaoyu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Xun subconsciously wanted to get closer to Xiaoyu. He liked Xiaoyu very much, but after what he had done, Xiaoyu was afraid that she would never like him no matter what. Thinking of this, he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Xiaoyu smiled brightly, handed the lunch box in her hand to Qin Xun, and said crisply, "Yes! Brother, Mom asked Xiaoyu to bring you a lunch box. She said that even if you are alone on the crew, you should eat well."
At this moment, Qin Xun's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and his eyes were filled with soreness. It turned out that Xiaoyu didn't hate him at all.
"Well, thank you Xiaoyu! Thank you Aunt Luo too." Qin Xun carefully took Xiaoyu's lunch box and held it in his arms like a baby.
"You're welcome. Beibei's brother needs to have a good meal. Xiaoyu will accompany her brother to put on makeup first. See you later." Little Dumpling waved and said happily to Qin Xun.
"See you later, Xiaoyu." Qin Xun also smiled.
After the brother and sister left, the agent whispered, "Don't you think Gu Chi is very cold to Xiaoyu? I'm afraid he just treats Xiaoyu as a tool. Xiaoyu likes you very much. Qin Xun, you should establish the image of a good brother for me later."
Qin Xun glanced at his agent lightly. What a joke! Gu Chi treated Xiaoyu as his precious baby. Was it his turn as an outsider to interfere in their relationship? He even pretended to be a good brother. Who was he trying to slap in the face?
But this is indeed a good idea. He might as well return the fans attracted by the character of the good brother to Gu Chi.
"I understand." Qin Xun said calmly, "You make the arrangements. I'll prepare a live broadcast."
"It seems you've really come to your senses." The system somehow came online again, and said mysteriously, "You want to use Brother Haohao to get some information out of Xiaoyu. Then Gu Chi will be ruined. That's a good idea. How did you come up with it?"
"I thought of it with my brain." Qin Xun pulled the corner of his mouth and said coldly.
The system was very satisfied with his idea and couldn't help but praise him, "Don't worry, I will arrange for the navy to build momentum for you."
"Thank you."
This is exactly the effect Qin Xun wants. The more he builds momentum, the more his image as a good brother will be damaged. All the traffic he gained by imitating Gu Chi will naturally go back to Gu Chi.
When the agent saw that Qin Xun had finally figured it out, he was so happy that he hurried to prepare for today's live broadcast. He had to create this gimmick today.
He had long been fed up with Gu Chi and Xiao Yu, the brother and sister. Not only did they steal Qin Xun's limelight, but they also unexpectedly made Qin Xun the control group. Most of the endorsements that had been discussed before had no follow-up. Later, when he checked, he found out that those international endorsements had actually reduced their prices to ask Gu Chi to be the spokesperson.
This really made him furious. Why? All these things originally belonged to Qin Xun. This time he must let Gu Chi taste the backlash.
Qin Xun didn't have any scenes today, so he started a live broadcast on his personal social media platform. He walked over to Xiaoyu with a lot of ice cream and snacks, and said, "Hi everyone, I don't have any scenes today, so I'm going to start a live broadcast to chat with you."
This was Qin Xun's first live broadcast. Although some of his previous behaviors did cause him to lose a large number of fans, he still had many fans who supported him. Coupled with the hype from his agent and the support of his online influencers, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had reached 100,000 at the moment the broadcast started.
Is it Xiaoyu?
[Is that Xiaoyu baby?! I saw Xiaoyu baby! Auntie kisses.]
Qin Xun looked at the camera with a gentle expression, "It's Xiaoyu. I saw that Xiaoyu was free here, so I wanted to accompany her."
The news of the cute baby's return instantly sent netizens into a frenzy. They still vividly remembered the show from a month ago, and Xiaoyu was everyone's favorite. They were so reluctant to let her go when the show ended, and they never expected such a return gift would be possible now! The number of people in the live broadcast room instantly reached 300,000.
[Ahhhhh, my dear Xiaoyu, my aunt is here! ]
Gu Chi brought Xiaoyu to film a movie? Isn't this exploiting child labor?
[Shut up, the guy above. It's so hard for Gu Chi to film and take care of Xiaoyu all by himself. It's normal to bring her along to filming.]
How could this be normal? It's so dangerous to let a child sit there alone. Xiaoyu feels so lonely sitting there alone. If Qin Xun hadn't been there with her, she wouldn't even have anyone to talk to.
All of a sudden, there were all kinds of questioning voices in the live broadcast room. Qin Xun narrowed his eyes and prepared to strike while the iron was hot.
"Xiaoyu, Brother Qin Xun brought you a lot of food. Do you want to eat it?"
Qin Xun placed all the snacks, drinks, ice cream and lollipops in his arms on the ground and spoke gently to Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu immediately shook her head and said, "No, my brother said that Xiaoyu can't eat ice cream or snacks. Lollipops have a lot of pigments and are junk food. I can't eat too much..."
These snacks are junk food with lots of additives. Xiaoyu doesn’t want to eat them. Xiaoyu wants to eat the delicious snacks made by her brother for her. Those are super delicious, I don’t know how many times better they are than those sold outside!
Qin Xun certainly knew that Xiaoyu would not like these junk foods. After all, with her omnipotent brother Gu Chi making snacks for her, who would want to eat those junk foods full of additives outside?
But this was exactly the effect he wanted. Seeing this, Qin Xun quickly stuffed a lot of snacks, toys and other things into Xiaoyu's arms. "Xiaoyu, don't worry, Brother Gu Chi won't let you play with food or drink. Brother Qin Xun will compensate you. From now on, Brother Qin Xun will bring you a lot of toys and food every day. Is that okay?"
His face was full of smiles and his tone was extremely gentle, establishing the image of a good brother at the right time.
The audience immediately went wild, and the live broadcast room immediately started arguing.
[Junk food? We've been eating it for years without any problems, so why can't Gu Chi even eat a bite?]
I never thought Gu Chi looked so good on the surface, but actually abused a child in private. This is really a case of judging a person by their appearance but not their heart. I'm going to stop being a fan. It's so disgusting.
Qin Xun is so gentle. He seems like a considerate and kind brother. I wish I had a brother like him when I was little.
[In your eyes, doting on your child makes you a good brother.]
Although there were viewers in the live broadcast room who could see clearly, they were still overshadowed by a large number of negative comments from the internet troll army. The wind vane began to lean towards Qin Xun, and the system even started to chatter in his ear fearlessly, but it only said two sentences before hurriedly going offline.
Qin Xun took a look at the Internet and saw that it was in an uproar. The black fans kept saying that Gu Chi was two-faced and that his acting skills were already high on the hot search list.
He lowered his eyes, the decline had reached its peak, and the next step was to rebound.
The agent looked at the overwhelmingly positive comments online, feeling overjoyed. He quickly bought trending searches to build momentum, while muttering, "Qin Xun, well done! Continue guiding Xiaoyu to continue. This character must stand firm."
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu refused Qin Xun's snacks and said, "No need, Brother Qin Xun. These foods are not very healthy. Xiaoyu has already eaten today!"
The next second, Xiaoyu said like she knew everything, "Eating ice cream will make you catch a cold now, so brother will make delicious rice cakes for you. He only lets you eat snacks he makes himself, saying that they are good for your health."
"Brother will make fun Luban toys for Xiaoyu, which are made from a piece of wood! Brother also takes Xiaoyu to the amusement park! Eating too many of these snacks will make you sick."
By the way, he looked at Qin Xun like a little adult, "Brother Qin Xun, you must not eat so many snacks and ice cream, otherwise you won't grow taller and you will get sick and need injections, which are very painful."
Qin Xun pretended not to believe that Gu Chi's cooking skills were this good, and said disdainfully, "Xiao Yu, can I take a look?"
"Of course!"
Xiaoyu answered very straightforwardly, then turned and ran towards her RV. After a while, she really took out toys and snacks from the RV. They looked extremely delicate, traditional Chinese dim sum, and were made very beautifully. They must have taken a lot of thought and time to make.
Qin Xun smiled. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
At this time, Bai Anyu also walked over quietly, stood aside and said quietly, "Some people are really deep-minded. If they can't blacken Gu Chi, they will start with the child. If they want to establish the image of a good brother, they should be more careful. Xiaoyu has a bad stomach, and you let her eat those junk food. Who are you trying to kill?"
"I didn't!" Qin Xun immediately retorted.
"I didn't say who it was. Whoever admits it is the one." Bai Anyu glanced at him dimly, then said to Xiaoyu with a bright face, "Xiaoyu baby, let's go, Brother Bai will take you out to play. Let's ignore this bad brother."
Before leaving, Xiaoyu looked at Qin Xun with great concern, "Brother Qin, you should eat less junk food, otherwise your stomach will hurt."
Qin Xun's face looked unhappy, and he responded with a low voice.
This scene was also seen by the audience. Qin Xun was completely slapped in the face, and his image as a good brother collapsed instantly.
[Damn it, is this slap in the face coming so quickly?]
[Gu Chi is so attentive and secretly possesses so many skills, he's practically a max-level human!]
[Do Qin Xun and Gu Chi have a grudge? Why does he keep targeting Gu Chi and frame Yue again and again?]
The audience began to feel sorry for Gu Chi, and Qin Xun's fans began to drop visibly. In just a few hours, no less than four or five hundred thousand fans were lost. These were all active fans. Qin Xun's agent was so angry that his teeth were itching.
How come Qin Xun has failed again? He can't even maintain his image as a good brother. If his fan base continues to decline, Qin Xun may not even be able to become a top star, let alone an 18th-tier star.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chi carved out a niche for himself in the food channel of the Alphabet Station. Netizens begged him to release tutorials. Within a few hours, Gu Chi's reputation as a celebrity gourmet had swept the entire Alphabet Station, and his traffic exploded across the entire network.
Not only that, the spokesperson for the food section of the Alphabet Station also fell on Gu Chi. This was a resource that he had been trying hard to get for three months, but he didn't expect that Gu Chi got it without any effort.
This is really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken, and shooting oneself in the foot.
"Look at what you've done." The agent's face turned ashen with anger.
"Didn't you tell me to establish a good brother persona? Who can I blame if I do what you said and it goes wrong?" Qin Xun's face darkened and he spoke to his agent unkindly.
"You!" The agent was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qin Xun didn't care about that and said to himself, "Xiaoyu doesn't like me. I didn't get what he likes. I don't know if a lunch box is okay."
"Can you give it to me first?" The system voice sounded again.
In the blink of an eye, the lunch box in his hand disappeared, but the next second, he heard the system's heart-wrenching scream, "What's going on? What the hell is this? My eyes! It hurts so much!"
