Brother, isn't it good that you like me?

When I woke up again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

The rain was pattering outside the window when suddenly, "Holy crap!!!"

A voice that could pierce through clouds and split rocks exploded from upstairs.

Jiang Ziyi burst out with a head of messy silver hair: "It's already nine o'clock!! Why didn't anyone wake me up to watch the sunrise?!"

He came out in a hurry, still wearing his yellow SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas.

The people at the table looked up and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to get up early?" Shen Yan took a bite of his fried egg, raising an eyebrow slightly. "God listened to you and specially sent rain to satisfy you."

Jiang Ziyi: "?"

Jiang Zi came in a fit of anger.

I was planning to stay up until 4 AM to watch the sunrise before going to sleep, but the production team sent out a notification at 1 AM saying it was raining and we shouldn't wait anymore :)

[Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, sob sob.]

It's okay, there will always be some regrets on a trip, that's what gives us a reason to come back next time~

That makes sense! So, what's the itinerary for today?

Jiang Ziyi sat down at the dining table and asked the same question.

"It's raining outside, so the planned outdoor activities can't be done. We'll just play indoors all day," Director Wu announced through a megaphone.

"Indoors?" Jiang Ziyi frowned, a steamed bun in her mouth. "What's fun about doing indoors?"

……

"Hahahaha! Shen Yan! I'm your father!"

After reading the identity cards in the murder mystery game, Jiang Ziyi laughed heartily and beckoned to Shen Yan with his finger: "Come on, call me dad."

"..." Shen Yan, expressionless, held up the prop sword in his hand, placing the blade against Wu Juben's neck: "Is there really no way to change your identity?"

Wu Juben glanced down at the sword blade at the side of his neck. "...Perhaps you could go ask who wants to be Jiang Ziyi's son?"

No one would have thought of three, Jiang Ziyi said smugly, making a face before turning to Chi Yu: "Brother, what's your identity?"

Chi Yu flipped over the identity card, glanced down at it, and said, "...I am the General's wife."

"What a coincidence! I'm the old general, and that general is…" Jiang Ziyi's expression changed, "Wait a minute!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Shen Yan, who had just wanted to switch cards, walked over smugly, raising his hand. "Me! Me! Little Chi's husband is...me!"

"Aaaaah!" Jiang Zi angrily chased after Shen Yan, but after a few steps he couldn't catch up. He then pulled out his sword and held it to Wu Juben's neck. "Quick! Change Shen Yan's card for me!"

Wu Juben, whose neck had been freed less than a minute ago, was speechless.

Director Wu: Haha, I really owe you guys something.

[The smile just shifted from the younger brother to Shen Yan and us, the delayed CP fans :-D]

[Our delayed destined partner is still too strong; with a configuration of three men and three women, and the only one who played a cross-dressing role was drawn by the older brother.]

[Speaking of which... since she's the lady, is there any chance she'll wear women's clothing?! (Raises eyebrow.jpg)]

Unfortunately, the answer was no. The script in this box was something the director had hastily prepared by digging it out of the warehouse, and there were no suitable wigs or clothes.

[As expected, we still won't see my brother in women's clothing, waaaaah (biting handkerchief)]

It's okay, there will always be some regrets on a trip, that's what gives us a reason to come back next time.

Chi Yu glanced at the comments: "...?"

What exactly are you regretting?

This is an ancient romance novel. Lin Jianshen plays a secret guard in the general's mansion, Xu Jinhuan plays the general's sister, and Su Yang is the young lady from the neighboring mansion who secretly loves the young general.

The case itself is not complicated; the focus is on recreating this heartwarming story involving multiple emotional threads.

Logically, by the end, everyone should be deeply moved by the story and cry their eyes out. However, when a group of people get together, things always seem to go wrong—

Shen Yan was in excellent form today, relentlessly attacking Jiang Ziyi from the very beginning, convinced he was the murderer. This infuriated Jiang Ziyi, who stomped his feet and pointed at Shen Yan, yelling, "You unfilial son!"

He turned to look for his "daughter," only to find that Xu Jinhuan was already dating the rich girl next door, Meimei. It turned out that the girl next door had a crush on the general's sister, not the young general.

"What a misfortune for my family! What a misfortune for my family!" Jiang Ziyi roared to the sky, picked up the sword of the secret guard Lin Jianshen, and prepared to kill everyone except his "daughter-in-law".

Upon seeing this, Shen Yan immediately shouted, "See? I told you! The murderer is this old Deng!"

What should have been a touching and heartwarming story turned into a comedy and fun episode. In the end, Chi Yu found the key evidence and, together with Xu Jinhuan and Su Yang, voted to eliminate the real culprit, Lin Jianshen.

Upon seeing this, Director Wu remarked, "Indeed, the general's wife is more reliable than the general himself."

The rain hadn't stopped by the afternoon, so after lunch, the group sat in the living room and sang.

"Does this mean we need to pay copyright fees if we sing more than three lines?" Lin Jianshen asked, holding the microphone. "So, does that mean we can only sing Shen Yan and Jiang Ziyi's songs?"

"What's there to be afraid of!" Shen Yan casually picked out a bunch of popular songs. "Anyway, Director Wu is paying, so sing whatever you want!"

The villa was very soundproof, so there was no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors. Everyone snuggled up on the sofa, grabbed microphones, and sang their hearts out. Towards the end, nobody cared about pitch anymore; whoever had the loudest voice was the karaoke king/queen.

The voices of the others were a little hoarse, so they played music as background noise, sat on the carpet, and played a card game around the coffee table.

Everyone was having so much fun that no one cared about the rules anymore. They played all sorts of random cards together, constantly making all sorts of underhanded moves, and when they got caught, they would seriously try to explain themselves.

This made the staff and viewers in the live chat burst into laughter.

Hahahaha, I laughed so hard I rolled around on the bed!

[Who was playing Uno and suddenly pulled out four fours and said "Bomb!"?]

[Please forgive us, everyone. We played a "+4", and then everyone had a "+4". We were about to win, but then suddenly 24 more cards were added and I couldn't take it anymore, hahaha.]

[Recalling the game of Dou Dizhu we were playing earlier, Huanhuan played a bomb, and Shen Yan immediately pulled out a 98K!]

[Then he was suppressed by Koike's AAKK, two AKs.]

[Ahhh, I always thought Xiaochi was a Spirit Pearl!]

[Hey, what misunderstanding do you have about your brother? Hahaha, like I said before, anyone who can control Shen Yan and Jiang Ziyi is no pushover!]

The only truly well-behaved person is our Shen Shen, okay?

[Then he turned sharply and dialed 119, reporting that this is China, and no one dares to fire!]

Hahahaha, my stomach hurts from laughing!

The chaotic game continued into the night.

Even though the participants didn't want it to end, the show had to come to a close.

"Happy times always pass too quickly, and this time it's really time to say goodbye."

With yesterday's preparations, the moment actually arrived today, and I wasn't as sad as I thought.

The group sat on the carpet and waved at the camera.

Xu Jinhuan: "Thank you all for your company and support along the way."

Su Yang: "Thank you to everyone in front of the screen for stopping to read our story."

Lin Jianshen: "Thank you for making this program meaningful."

Chi Yu: "Thank you all for making this journey worth remembering."

Shen Yan: "I hope these laughs can accompany you for a while. We'll meet again someday!"

A silver-haired head suddenly appeared in the frame.

"Don't ask us why we spoke so fluently," Jiang Zi blinked, "because—"

"Wu Juben has a script!!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the camera was turned off.

The first season of "The TA Who Hates the Most" has officially concluded.

[Ding dong~ The live stream you're following, "The Person They Hate the Most," has started! Come watch!]

"Is it connected now? I don't want to break their machine."

"This light is on, we should start the live stream."

【？？？？？】

[What's going on? Am I hallucinating? Wasn't it supposed to be the finale? Why is it being streamed again??]

"It's not a hallucination." Chi Yu's voice came from the side, with a hint of a low laugh. "The rain is almost stopping now, and we want to take a gamble on whether we can see the sunrise."

"The staff are all still asleep, so we'll sneak in." Jiang Ziyi put her finger to her lips, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After changing their clothes and putting on light jackets, the group tiptoed out the door.

The villa is located on the west side, which is usually suitable for watching the sunset. If you want to watch the sunrise, you have to cycle for ten minutes to the other side of the cape.

I hadn't been riding out for long when the rain stopped completely. The sky was a deep blue-black, and the clouds were slowly dispersing, revealing the clear underlying color.

Upon reaching the other side, Shen Yan stopped the car and raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the faintly brightening horizon in the distance:

"I feel...we made the right bet."

Sunrise isn't a sudden, instantaneous burst of sunlight; rather, it's a very, very slow process. The group, bored while waiting, initially chatted idly with the comments section, rambling on about this and that.

But when the sun actually rose above the horizon, everyone fell silent without prior agreement.

The clouds were dyed a soft gradient by the morning glow—from the sea level upwards, it was first a warm orange-red, slowly transitioning to light pink, and then turning into a deep blue.

Occasionally, a thin streak of lightning flashed by. Not far away, a faint rainbow was slowly emerging on the sea.

Sunrise, rosy dawn, lightning, rainbow.

It seemed as if all the beautiful things in the world had gathered under the same sky at this moment.

Looking at the light, Chi Yu suddenly felt a deep sense of peace.

During this time, he resolved his misunderstandings with his family, gained friends, and acquired many fans who love him. Things he once dared not hope for have steadily fallen into his hands, one by one.

He suddenly felt very lucky, but he didn't know what language to use to express this feeling.

After thinking it over and over, only one word came to mind: thank you.

Thank you for this sunrise, thank you for the system that suddenly appeared, thank you for every bit of love that has appeared in his life, thank you...

He turned his head and looked at the person beside him who had steadfastly chosen him from beginning to end.

"Shen Yan," Chi Yu said, "thank you for appearing in my life."

Shen Yan happened to be looking at him too. Hearing this, she paused for a moment, then a light smile curved her lips. The morning light fell on his profile, making his eyes look exceptionally bright.

"Brother," he said, "I should be thanking you."

"Thank you for allowing me into your life."

He never thought of possessing the moon.

It was as if the moon descended from above and embraced him.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him, "Oh dear."

The two men were startled and turned around at the same time. They saw Lin Jianshen standing behind them, steadily holding a camera and microphone, clearly capturing their words and expressions.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to come and ask if you wanted to chat with the fans, I didn't expect..." Lin Jianshen stammered in a panic.

"It's okay." Chi Yu turned around, faced the camera, and took Shen Yan's hand directly.

"It's just as everyone sees it," he said with a smile. "Shen Yan and I have been together for a long time."

The live chat paused for a second, then—

【Aa ...

[My favorite couple has officially announced their relationship! !!! Even though I already knew this secret, why am I still so excited?! !!!]

[Delay 999999999999]

[The sunrise really does bring good luck! My wish came true so quickly!]

What?! It's that effective!! Then I wish for a smooth and successful college entrance exam next year, and that I'll achieve top marks!

[God bless me! I wish I could reach shore!]

I want to get rich! I want to get rich!

[Shouldn't you wish for your favorite couple's relationship to come true right now, hahaha?]

[It's already true, why wish for them anymore! Can they even kiss in front of the camera? This precious opportunity to make a wish should be reserved for yourself!]

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】

Wishing everyone who sees this comment eternal happiness and joy!!

Wishing everyone all the best! May all your wishes come true!!

The comments kept scrolling up, with wishes, confessions, and farewells crowding the edge of the screen.

In the distance, the sun had completely risen above the sea.

Shen Yan looked down at their clasped hands, then suddenly lowered his head and stole a kiss on Chi Yu's lips. It was very light, very quick, like a petal blown away by the wind.

Chi Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled.

The light spread out from behind them, gilding each person's silhouette with a warm gold.

"The TA Who Hates the Most" has officially ended, but a new day has just begun.

————End of text————

Finally!! I accidentally finished it, so I won't be giving a closing statement this time! As for the side stories, I'll probably update a few slice-of-life chapters first, and then write about the two "what if" scenarios (forced and premature revelation). We'll see about the childhood sweetheart "what if" scenario later, or when inspiration strikes. I feel like this alone will keep me writing for a long time, sob sob.

To all the readers who haven't given me a 5-star review yet, please remember to give me one! Also, please give me some love and flowers!! Thank you everyone! Love you all!!

I'm going to sleep now, I'm so sleepy zzz, goodnight everyone... good morning (?)
