Chapter 10: Happy and foolish
Since they knew Qi Nian well enough, they heard the other party mumbling in his heart again. The Chu family members felt nervous and looked at Qi Nian one by one.
Chu Rongshi was an exception. His bony fingers were holding the chopsticks, and his movement paused for a moment. The chopsticks hit the edge of the bowl, making a very light knocking sound in the quiet room.
This tiny sound seemed to have reminded others, and Chu Tianheng and the others immediately retracted their gazes. Fortunately, Qi Nian's cheeks were puffed up, and he was staring at the dish in front of him without blinking, as if he was thinking about which piece he should take next.
Because he was too serious, he didn't notice anything strange about his family.
Next, Chu Tianheng continued talking to his parents, but the three of them seemed a little absent-minded. They kept glancing at Qi Nian from time to time, with their ears perked up, waiting for the other party to continue.
If Qi Nian had not been so serious while eating, he might have discovered that his parents and his second brother had been chatting for several minutes about whether today's dishes were salty or not.
Just when Chu Tianheng and the others thought they would not hear anything further, they heard Qi Nian's exclamation.
[I remember now! That Ledie seems to be my second brother's rival. What's his name? Oh... he's a crazy fan of Song Xiaoming.]
Chu Tianheng immediately lost his appetite upon hearing this, because he and Song Xiaoming followed similar paths and debuted at similar times, and were often compared by netizens.
That would be fine, but Chu Tianheng dislikes Song Xiaoming not just for this reason. He also thinks that every time he releases a song, it won't be long before the other party also releases a song. If he makes a guest appearance in a martial arts drama, it won't be long before the other party also makes a guest appearance in a power drama.
This happened so many times that Chu Tianheng found it hard not to suspect that Song Xiaoming did it on purpose.
Therefore, Chu Tianheng often called Song Xiaoming a scholar in private, and one can imagine how much he disliked the other person.
Because of this, when Chu Tianheng heard that Le Die was actually a fan of the other party, he immediately felt unlucky.
What made him feel even more unlucky was that the other party deliberately concealed his fan status when he came for the interview, otherwise he would not have let the other party be his assistant.
A fan from the rival company came to apply for the assistant position, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Qinian continue to mutter: [The reason why Le Die applied for the position of second brother's assistant seems to be because of Song Xiaoming... I don't understand.]
Chu Tianheng: I knew it!
Qi Nian: [Oh, let me see what she is going to do. ]
Chu Tianheng leaned sideways and pricked up his ears.
Qi Nian coughed violently from the side, as if he was choked by something. Before others could pay attention to him, he heard the other party's thoughts.
[Oh my god... this Ledie actually wants to put a pinhole camera in my second brother's bathroom... to take a video of my second brother taking a bath and post it online! ]
[@&*Should I remind my second brother...]
Chu Tianheng: "Fuck! I'm..."
Qi Nian was startled by the sudden voice. He coughed and looked at Chu Tianheng in confusion. His little face turned red due to the strong coughing.
He took the water Chu Rongshi handed over, drank a sip and felt much better. He asked Chu Rongshi in a strange voice: "Brother, what happened to the second brother?"
Chu Rongshi: "It's okay, I just got a little excited."
Everyone thought: “?”
Seeing his second brother suddenly go crazy, Qi Nian quickly picked up his small bowl and shoveled rice into his mouth.
At the same time, he was worried about how he should remind his second brother. It seemed that his second brother's mental state was not stable.
The other party won’t attack him as well, right?
——
After Chu Tianheng had scolded enough, he managed to calm down.
Ning Min frowned and said, "Tian Heng, calm down and don't make any trouble."
Chu Zhen: "It's dangerous for boys to be outside now."
Then he was hit by Ning Min and stopped talking.
Chu Tianheng was not afraid of anything, but he felt it was disgusting. He pressed his forehead and said, "I'll make a phone call first."
Chu Tianheng's agent was a little confused when she received the call. You know, when he was on vacation, he would never touch work. So when had he ever called her?
After hearing what Chu Tianheng asked him to do, the agent immediately became serious: "Has a bastard discovered your house?"
Chu Tianheng sneered: "There is a traitor this time. Be careful when you go to check and don't let Le Die know."
The agent almost immediately understood who the traitor was. Although she was surprised how Chu Tianheng knew, she did not ask any more questions: "Don't worry, I'll go there myself."
Chu Tianheng still trusted the agent very much. After all, the agent had followed him for so many years: "Okay."
——
In the afternoon, Qi Nian held a cup of hot water, took a small sip, and took the initiative to sit next to Chu Tianheng, looking at him hesitantly.
To be honest, Qi Nian didn't dislike Chu Tianheng. Although he had a bad taste, he would not bully him under the pretext of joking.
And when he was bullied, Chu Tianheng would help him without hesitation regardless of whether it was his fault or not.
Because of this, Qi Nian thinks that the other person is pretty good. Of course, it would be even better if he wasn't so bad-tempered.
Therefore, after knowing that there was something wrong with the assistant next to Chu Tianheng, Qi Nian wanted to remind him.
But he didn't know how to explain what he knew, so he was particularly confused.
At this moment, he held the water cup, drank most of it, and after thinking for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.
Before he could say anything, Chu Tianheng spoke first. He crossed his arms and looked at Qi Nian with interest: "Do you want me to remind you that you have been sitting here looking at me for half an hour?"
Qi Nian quickly took a big sip of water and complained in a low voice: How can half an hour be so long?
"What are you talking about?" Chu Tianheng stretched out his hand and pinched Qi Nian's face. Seeing the other party staring at him with his round deer eyes and a depressed look, his mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Qi Nian shook off Chu Tianheng's hand that was pinching his face. He was speechless. He didn't know what was wrong with his second brother that he always liked to pinch people's faces.
At this moment, Chu Tianheng's cell phone rang. He lowered his eyes and saw the photo sent by the agent. His expression immediately turned cold.
[Agent]: There is a pinhole camera in the bathroom. It seems to have been installed during the few days when you were away. I asked a professional to check it. The data is automatically transmitted via the Internet. In order not to alert anyone, I did not let anyone touch it.
[Chu Tianheng]: Okay, don’t alarm the other party first, I’ll go back and handle it.
[Agent]: Really, I am sweating all over my back. How could such a simple girl do such a thing? Could someone have instructed her to do so?
[Chu Tianheng]: She is a fan of Song Xiao Ming.
[Agent]: Do you suspect Song Xiaoming? I don't think that's the case given his character. I'm more inclined to believe in her personal behavior.
Chu Tianheng didn't say anything else. He looked at Qi Nian with a frown.
The latter held the empty cup and shrank back.
"Am I that scary?" Chu Tianheng was almost laughing out of anger. He opened the photo that the agent had just found and showed it to Qi Nian.
Qi Nian took a look and stroked the little curly hair on his head, obviously not quite understanding what it was.
Chu Tianheng turned off his phone and gritted his teeth: "I found a pinhole camera in my bathroom."
Everyone thought: "!!!"
Great, it seems that the second brother knows, then he doesn’t have to find ways to remind him!
Qi Nian instantly felt relaxed and happily prepared to leave.
As a result, he was grabbed by the collar by his second brother again.
Qi Nian sat back on the sofa with a tearful face and a "what are you doing" expression on his face.
Chu Tianheng wanted to laugh at his little expression, but he held back: "Don't you want to know where the pinhole camera came from?"
Qi Nian: I know everything.
Still, he tried to look curious.
Chu Tianheng did not comment on his unsatisfactory acting skills. He just told the story and finally looked at Qi Nian: "Can you help me analyze this? Does this have anything to do with Song Xiaoming?"
Qi Nian shook his head: "I don't think so."
With what he said, Chu Tianheng had ruled out Song Xiaoming as a suspect, but he still asked, "Why do you think so?"
Qi Nian looked at Chu Tianheng with strange eyes, then smiled inexplicably: "I don't know."
Chu Tianheng was a little scared by his laughter and said unhappily, "If you don't know, then you don't know. What are you laughing at?"
Qi Nian curled his lips, thinking that his second brother was really unreasonable.
Then, Chu Tianheng sighed again: "Looks like we have to go back early."
Qi Nian was about to start fireworks in his head when he heard this, but then Chu Tianheng looked at him and said, "You have nothing to do during the summer vacation, so how about you come with me this time? I'm going to play a guest role next week and I'm in need of an assistant. Okay, it's decided."
After hearing this, Qi Nian let out a sharp cry: "No!!!"
Not only do I have to deal with my second brother who has a bad taste, but I also have to deal with so many strangers when I join the crew. I might as well just give up!
