"Sister, there's no one here now, can you wipe it for me?"
"No way." Mu Yiran refused without even thinking.
Shi Youxi held her hand tightly, her eyes filled with unwavering stubbornness. "Didn't you say that I can do whatever I want when no one's around?"
"I clearly said that you don't have to call me 'Auntie' when no one is around, but you didn't follow that rule just now!" Mu Yiran started to settle scores.
Shi Youxi didn't care: "When no one is around, no one will see what you call or do. That's what my sister meant."
Mu Yiran almost thought he was right, but then she snapped back to reality and yelled, "What kind of robber logic is this?!"
Shi Youxi continued to insist on his robber logic: "If my sister doesn't wipe my mouth now, she's breaking her promise. So I can break my promise too, and I won't call her auntie anymore."
He deliberately looked around, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth, "Sister—" His mouth was instantly blocked by a white wet wipe.
Mu Yiran muttered under her breath as she wiped herself, "You little brat, I really owe you something."
Shi Youxi's exposed eyes curved into a smile, her chin lifted, and her lips, hidden beneath the wet towel, lightly touched Mu Yiran's palm again and again. Only after Mu Yiran withdrew her hand did she slowly sit back down.
Amidst the noisy crowd, two pairs of eyes watched this scene intently.
Mu Yiran reminded Shi Youxi a few more times, and the other party obediently nodded in agreement.
Mu Yiran glanced at the photos of Chen Shu displayed on the computer screen. She occasionally asked the staff about the shooting progress. Shi Youxi, seeing the woman's focused gaze on the computer, leaned over and asked, "Auntie, do you think Uncle Chen Shu is handsome?"
Mu Yiran glanced at the staff standing beside her, all of whom were her own employees, and then spoke frankly, "He's alright, about average for a male star. He might not be my type."
The photo editing employee next to him asked curiously, "So, Mr. Cheng, what kind of person do you like? Like Mr. Shi?"
Uh... I have to pretend to be a loving couple with Shi Yan again.
Mu Yiran nodded with feigned delight but did not answer.
The junior employee got excited: "Is President Shi as handsome in person as he is in the photos?"
Mu Yiran replied dismissively, "More or less. Look how handsome his son is, how bad could he be in real life?"
Hearing this, Shi Youxi, standing behind him, curled the corners of her lips.
An employee nearby secretly glanced at the young man standing next to Mu Yiran like a bodyguard. His neat and smooth profile, fair skin, and curly hair softened the intimidating aura about him.
He's really handsome...
Ms. Cheng is so lucky. Not only does she have a handsome and wealthy husband, but she also gained an equally handsome stepson who treats her well.
It's a boys' high school!
The junior employee looked at Shi Youxi and suddenly felt that he looked familiar, muttering to himself, "He looks like Bai Yiwen."
Her voice wasn't loud, but Mu Yiran heard it. "Bai Yiwen? He's debuted?"
The junior employee nodded: "Yes, he's a trainee from the same company as Chen Shu."
Mu Yiran was slightly surprised; the future pop star who would sweep across Asia was still just a trainee.
Seeing Mu Yiran's concerned expression, Shi Youxi frowned: "Does your sister know her?"
"I wouldn't say we know each other..." Does knowing someone from a street performance count as knowing them? After that, Bai Yiwen's popularity skyrocketed, and concert tickets were extremely hard to come by. Mu Yiran couldn't have been more regretful that she hadn't asked for an autograph or something when he wasn't famous yet.
Selling it would easily fetch several tens of thousands of dollars.
I can only blame myself for being too poor at the time; I couldn't even afford the small tips for the roadshow, so how could I possibly ask for a photo?
Thinking about it this way, Bai Yiwen was quite poor back then. He came from a bad background, so the company didn't pay much attention to him at first. But after he became famous, his tragic childhood became a persona that attracted fans.
"About your age? I've heard him sing, he's really good, and he looks a lot like you..." The more she spoke, the uglier Shi Youxi's face became.
Doesn't this count as knowing each other?
The junior employee didn't expect that she knew too, so she opened her phone screen and started promoting her own idol to Mu Yiran.
"Xiao Cheng always has a good eye! Our Xiao Ai is beautiful, talented, and strong. It's just that the company doesn't promote her, otherwise she would definitely be more popular than Chen Shu." The junior employee lowered his voice guiltily.
Mu Yiran glanced at the boy with light brown hair in her wallpaper and nodded in agreement: "He looks better with this hair color..."
Chen Shu also has this hair color, but his skin isn't fair, so the effect is just average.
"Yes, yes, yes! He's like a character straight out of a comic book. I even took this screenshot from their company's anniversary gala."
"Don't worry, he'll definitely become famous in the future."
A voice murmured, "Auntie, are you so sure? Looks like you quite a bit."
"With looks like that, it's hard not to become popular..." Mu Yiran said halfway through, then saw the boy next to her with his mouth almost turned up to the sky and said with a smile, "He is handsome, but of course you are the most handsome."
The junior employee standing nearby, always quick to read between the lines, nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Shi is really handsome."
Shi Youxi pouted, "If I dyed my hair that color too... would I be more handsome than him?"
"So handsome! You'd look handsome even with rainbow-colored hair." Mu Yiran knew his temper well; if she didn't appease him, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause later.
Shi Youxi was indeed pleased. He thought for a moment, then took out his phone.

Guan Shiyan: [Your account has been hacked?]
[Whoever dares to hack my Young Master Shi's account, do they have a death wish?!]
Shi Youxi: [Which one suits me best? But my sister says they all suit me, it's so hard to choose. Can you help me pick one?]
Guan Shiyan: [...She says it suits you, so you dye it? What if she told you to wear those red GG Bond underwear and you did too?]
It's not like I haven't worn it before, it's just not red, it's pink.
Shi Youxi remained completely unmoved. [Which one?]
Guan Shiyan: "...Red."
Shi Youxi: [Then I won't dye it red.]
Guan Shiyan: [Enough is enough, don't force me to slap you.jpg]
Guan Shiyan: [If you're sick, take your medicine right away! Don't go looking for trouble!]
Shi Youxi simply switched to the dialog box and ignored it.
Jingyi isn't allowed to dye his hair, but after the college entrance exam, it will be close to his birthday. Why not dye his hair on his birthday and give his sister a surprise?
Shi Youxi stared intently at the colorful hairstyles in the picture.
"What were Xiao Xi and CEO Cheng talking about just now? They seemed to be having a great time. I'd like to know too."
Shi Youxi withdrew from her thoughts and looked coldly at Chen Shu.
Chen Shu smiled as he looked at Cheng Ran, who was talking to Cheng Li and his wife in the distance, and said to himself, "I don't know why, but I'm always attracted to President Cheng today. Xiao Xi, you are too, right?"
Chen Shu met the boy's gloomy phoenix eyes and said, "I noticed you've been staring at CEO Cheng all day. It seems like Xiao Xi really likes CEO Cheng."
"Is it because Ms. Cheng looks more like your biological mother?"
Shi Youxi didn't know what he was talking about, but his first reaction upon hearing those words was negative.
Shi Youxi's affection for his older sister was not at all because Mu Yiran gave him motherly love.
"You dare look at my sister again and see what happens."
Chen Shu laughed: "Sister? That's not quite right in terms of seniority, Xiao Xi. Besides, you can tell me not to look."
"Do you think you can stop everyone from looking at CEO Cheng?"
"Isn't Xiao Xi being a bit domineering? This is just normal friendship, not cheating."
“Xiao Xi, you’re just a stepson…” Chen Shu looked at the boy’s increasingly gloomy face and his smile widened. “Even your father doesn’t mind, so what right or qualification do you have to interfere in your stepmother’s affairs?”
"If Xiao Cheng knew that her stepson was this kind of person... would she still like you so much? She would probably hate him."
Shi Youxi's heart sank.
The thought that his sister might hate the real him filled him with uncontrollable panic, but then he remembered that his sister already knew who Shi Youxi was.
His sister was well aware of his abnormality.
“My sister won’t mind,” Shi Youxi said confidently, as if answering a statement, but also as if speaking to herself.
"Yeah?"
Shi Youxi gazed at him thoughtfully, and said, word by word, "Uncle Chen is very curious? Then how about we try it? Even if I do something to Uncle Chen now, my sister won't blame me."
Chen Shu raised his hands in a pleading gesture: "Just kidding, just kidding, I didn't mean anything by it."
"What are you talking about?" Mu Yiran walked over and looked at the two of them curiously.
Chen Shu laughed and said, "It's nothing. Mr. Cheng, we're friends now, right? Can we hang out sometime sometime? Sister Li said you don't have any friends in China, so she asked me to invite you to get together more often."
Mu Yiran cursed inwardly, wondering what Li Ziqi was up to, but smiled and said, "Of course."
Chen Shu glanced at Shi Youxi, whose expression had changed slightly, but said nothing more. He thanked all the staff and left after completing the formalities.
"Is my sister going?"
Mu Yiran and Shi Youxi went down to the parking lot. In the dimly lit garage, she looked at Shi Youxi and asked, "What?"
"Go hang out with those people?"
Mu Yiran replied without hesitation, "I'm not going."
Upon hearing this, Shi Youxi felt a sense of relief for some reason. Sure enough, her sister wouldn't distance herself from her because of others, let alone someone she disliked.
Shi Youxi was secretly certain that he would never let this happen.
The two people slowly drove away from the company.
In the chairman's office, Cheng Li touched the nameplate on his desk that read "Chairman." "So, what do you think? Is the relationship between Cheng Ran and Shi Yan real?"
Li Ziqi sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, touching up her lipstick in front of the makeup mirror. "Whether it's true or not, if it's fake, I'll expose her; if it's true, I'll force her to divorce me."
She glared sharply at Cheng Li: "What, you've softened your heart? You really treat her like your own sister? Do you still want to sit in this position?"
