Transmigrated into the cannon fodder younger sister of the uke in a BL novel

As soon as the live chat went live, the chat started screaming and yelling.

[Finally an update!!! I've been waiting forever!!!]

Why is this lousy drama updating so slowly? It's making me so angry I want to swear!

[Is anyone going to do something about this update speed? I wait for days like a dog, and each time I only get to watch for ten minutes or so.]

[Calm down, calm down. It's good enough that there's an update at all. Let's see how far the plot has progressed.]

[Wait, wait, let me sort this out—how did Wen Fan become a bartender at the Gu family's house? Is this part in the original novel?]

[In the original novel, Wen Fan never came to the Gu family banquet to work. This part is a completely new plot, and the original storyline has been completely distorted.]

What is this part of the original plot? Can any readers of the original work explain it to me?

[This part in the original novel is brilliant! Gu Bo'an throws a birthday banquet, inviting most of the upper-class celebrities. At the banquet, Gu Ling tries to sabotage Gu Qin. He knows Gu Qin is keeping a lover—Wen Fan—so he sends someone to bring Wen Fan to the banquet, intending to expose Gu Qin's scandal of keeping a man and completely destroy his position in Gu Bo'an's eyes. Gu Ling's plan is quite good, but he underestimates how much Gu Qin cares about Wen Fan, and he also didn't expect Lin Zhiyan to help. In the end, Gu Qin and Lin Zhiyan join forces to suppress the matter.]

[In the original novel, Gu Qin certainly didn't respect Wen Fan. Calling them lovers was really a semi-coercive relationship; Wen Fan only endured it for her sister's surgery fees. But when Gu Qin saw Wen Fan being kidnapped by his brother's men at the banquet, the change in his expression was quite obvious. That was roughly the turning point from his nonchalant attitude to genuine anger.]

Yes, this part in the original novel is a turning point in Gu Qin's romantic storyline. Before this, he was just playing around with Wen Fan, but from here on, he starts to take it seriously.

[But the plot has already gone so far. In the original story, Gu Qin and Wen Fan never went that far, and Wen Fan wasn't Gu Qin's lover. So how can Gu Ling still pursue Gu Qin? He no longer has the "Gu Qin is keeping a man" card.]

[I don't know, that's why I said the plot has changed drastically. Maybe Gu Ling found another weakness, or maybe Wen Fan's appearance here has another purpose.]

So why is Wen Fan working as a bartender here? Was it arranged by Gu Ling or Lin Zhiyan? Or is this just another clever plot device by the screenwriter?

Wen Qing never expected to see her brother here.

But the moment the barrage of comments flooded in, she had a sudden realization: it was probably the power of the plot, or the world consciousness behind it, secretly pushing things along.

She composed herself and walked straight to the bar. Almost simultaneously, they both asked each other, "What are you doing here?"

The two spoke and then fell silent at the same time, staring at each other for a moment before Wen Qing came to her senses first.

She took the initiative to explain why she was there, trying to downplay the situation.

Wen Fan took out his phone and, sure enough, saw the messages she had sent lying quietly in the notification bar, sent two hours ago, but he hadn't opened them.

His brow furrowed slightly, and a genuine sense of guilt surfaced in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I've been busy and haven't had time to check my phone."

"It's nothing," Wen Qing shook her head, then asked the question that concerned her most, "Brother, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working at the bar?"

"The Gu family invited me to mix drinks for this banquet. They offered a very good fee, and I thought it was just a job, so I agreed."

He lowered his eyelashes, which cast a small shadow under the light.

I was too busy before and forgot to tell you.

Wen Qing was a little dissatisfied and pouted slightly: "Then why didn't you tell me sooner? I even sent you a message saying I was coming to the Gu family..."

Wen Fan lowered her eyelashes and apologized.

He didn't tell her the real reason—he didn't want his sister to know that he was working for the Gu family, and he didn't want her to feel that he had too much to do with these people.

He originally planned to quietly go home after finishing this, and she wouldn't know, she wouldn't know anything.

He just never expected that fate would catch him so precisely.

Wen Qing didn't notice the complex emotions that flashed across his eyes. Just as she was about to ask him when it would end and whether they should go home together afterward, Su Yilan happened to return from the bathroom.

Her footsteps grew closer as she approached Wen Qing, and only after reaching her side did she follow Wen Qing's gaze to look at the person behind the bar. When she saw clearly, her mouth slowly opened into a surprised "O".

"Brother Wen? What are you doing here?"

But Wen Fan didn't have time to answer, because just then a customer came to the bar to order drinks. He could only nod slightly to them in apology and then turn around to get back to work.

Wen Qing didn't want to disturb his work, so she pulled Su Yilan aside.

Su Yilan hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and although she lowered her voice, she couldn't hide the surprise in her tone.

"What's your brother doing here? Doesn't he work at the bar?"

Wenqing repeated the answer she had just received.

But after she finished speaking, a deeper question arose in her mind—why would the Gu family specifically invite her brother to mix drinks? And who invited him?

She had a professional bartender at her own banquet, but she had to hire an extra one from outside, and coincidentally, she hired her brother instead.

She recalled Lin Zhiyan's meaningful smile and the question, "Does your brother know you're here?"

She thought the smile was strange at the time, but now she finally understood: Lin Zhiyan probably knew that her brother was here, and that she didn't know about it.

Rather than hoping it was a coincidence, she believed more that it was a plot device orchestrated by the power of the storyline.

According to the comments on the screen, in the original plot, Gu Ling was going to use her brother as a pawn to attack Gu Qin at the banquet. Although the plot has been completely changed, this scene has still been pieced together.

So something is bound to happen next.

Wenqing decided to stay here, in the place closest to the bar.

Fortunately, Su Yilan didn't really want to go out and socialize anyway, so the two of them chose a small round table not far from the bar and sat down. Su Yilan ordered a glass of juice and started rambling on about the gossip she had overheard in the restroom.

But they hadn't been sitting for long when two people suddenly walked in through the door.

Both the man and the woman were strikingly good-looking.

Wenqing subconsciously looked over and saw a familiar face.

Fu Anhe was dressed more formally than usual at the hospital today, in a dark casual suit, and his hair was carefully styled, but his expression showed a clear sign of perfunctoriness and impatience.

Standing beside him was a young woman in a red evening gown, her makeup exquisite. She was tilting her head back and speaking to him in a sweet voice, her red lips moving and her smile charming and alluring.

Fu Anhe smiled and responded casually, his gaze sweeping across the hall, over the bar, and over the scattered guests, before finally landing on Wen Qing sitting in the corner.

Upon seeing Wen Qing, his eyes lit up almost instantly.

Upon seeing this, Wen Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Fu An whispered something to the woman beside him, and then walked straight toward them.

"Miss Su, Miss Wen, what a coincidence, we meet again. I saw you in the garden just now, but it wasn't convenient for me to come over and say hello then."

Fu Anhe stood in front of their table, his peach blossom eyes curving into a beautiful arc. He spoke in a lazy and casual tone, and casually pulled over an empty chair next to him and sat down.

Wenqing merely gave a polite smile, without taking the initiative to respond.

Su Yilan, a social butterfly who usually chats with anyone, was unusually silent this time.

She held her juice, gave Fu Anhe a look that said, "I know who you are, I'm just too lazy to deal with you," and then continued drinking her juice.

Fu Anhe was completely unconcerned by their coldness; his smiling lips remained unmoved, as if being ignored was something he found quite comfortable.

But the woman next to him was a little unsteady on her feet.

She took a half step forward in her high heels, the hem of her red skirt swaying gently with the movement. One hand naturally rested on Fu Anhe's arm, her fingers, painted with exquisite nail polish, tightening slightly, a gesture that was both intimate and assertive.

She looked at Fu Anhe and asked in a sweet voice, "Anhe, who are these two? Why don't you introduce them to me?"

Fu Anhe then introduced Su Yilan and Wen Qing to her. When introducing Su Yilan, his tone was concise and appropriate, but when introducing Wen Qing, his gaze lingered for a moment longer, and his tone softened.

That woman wasn't stupid; she keenly noticed this subtle difference.

Her gaze shifted to Wenqing, quickly scanning her up and down, before she smiled and asked.

"Miss Wen, is that you? You look a bit unfamiliar. Whose daughter are you? Or are you in the same profession as Dr. Fu?"

Her tone was polite and her smile gentle, but her eyeliner-lined eyes held an undisguised scrutiny and hostility.

Seeing this, Wen Qing rolled her eyes inwardly, but remained obedient and calm on the surface.

"No, I just came with a friend."

She didn't elaborate on her family background, nor did she respond to the question about "colleagues," giving an unusually concise answer.

The woman was clearly dissatisfied with the answer and was about to ask something else, but Fu Anhe seemed completely oblivious to the undercurrent between the two of them, and continued to look at Wen Qing with a somewhat inappropriate "concern" in his tone.

"By the way, Wenqing, how's your brother doing lately? Has he recovered from his fever? Has he had any recurring fevers? And you too, you almost got a fever while taking care of your brother last time..."

Wen Qing's smile was almost frozen, and her tone was clearly perfunctory and indifferent, indicating that she didn't want to continue the topic.

"...Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Dr. Fu."

But in her mind, she had already mentally criticized Fu Anhe from head to toe—didn't she know what he was thinking?

However, when her brother was mentioned, her gaze unconsciously swept towards the bar, and then her smile vanished completely the next moment.

It turned out that the person standing behind the bar was no longer Wen Fan.

It was a strange man she didn't recognize, who was wiping a wine glass with his head down, his movements clumsy, clearly someone who had been temporarily pulled in to fill in for her.

She stood up abruptly, pushed aside the woman in red blocking her way, and strode to the bar.

The woman stumbled from her sudden movement, almost twisting her high heels. After regaining her balance, a hint of annoyance flashed across her face, but Wen Qing didn't notice her reaction at all, or rather, she didn't care.

"Where's the bartender who was here just now?"

She asked the man behind the bar.

The man was taken aback by her urgent tone: "You mean Wen Fan? He was just called away by the housekeeper."

"Why did you call them away?"

"I'm not sure, there must be some other mission involved."

After saying that, the man continued to wipe the wine glass.

Upon hearing this, Wenqing's fingers tightened around the cold edge of the bar counter.

My brother was called away by the housekeeper. Has the plot already begun?

She instinctively looked for the comments, but found no trace of them.

What's going on?

It seems that apart from the initial appearance of comments, there haven't been many comments since.
