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

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[I take back what I said earlier about "everyone spoiling them so much," I was just teasing the idiots! Only the older brother really spoils them, hahaha!]

[As expected of a show directed by Wu, even their teamwork is so blatantly lacking!]

In the living room, everyone stared at their phones for a couple of seconds before bursting into laughter.

Jiang Zi felt a flush on his face, but he couldn't tell if it was from drinking or from being so angry that his face turned bright red.

In the entire comment section, apart from his brother, not a single person did what he asked—including his fans!

Jiang Ziyi pouted and turned to her beloved older brother to complain, "Brother! Look at them!"

The voice sounded so pitiful that Jiang Ziyi mentally gave himself a "I feel sorry for him" evaluation, thinking that his brother would definitely become a brother-obsessed person if he heard it!

He quickly berated those who bullied him until they couldn't even lift their heads!

However, the person whose name was called just stared at him blankly, and after a long while, slowly managed to squeeze out a single word: "Huh?"

Shen Yan burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! No wonder Brother Chi sent it the way you said, he was drunk!"

"He's already drunk?" Xu Jinhuan looked at Chi Yu's glass in disbelief. "No way, he's the one who's drunk the least at this table."

Not only did he drink the least, but he also appeared to be the most sober among the group.

Under the warm yellow light, Chi Yu sat there quietly, his white T-shirt making him look clean and well-behaved, his expression as calm as ever. Anyone who saw him would simply think he was sleepy.

If Jiang Ziyi hadn't suddenly called for help, they might not have realized all night that this person was drunk.

Shen Yan made a few sarcastic remarks to Jiang Ziyi, then turned and gave the director a meaningful look.

As a longtime friend, Wu Juben immediately understood what this person meant. He rolled his eyes at Shen Yan, stood up, and raised his megaphone, saying:

"Dear teachers, that's all for today. It's getting late, so please go back and get some rest."

Everyone nodded and got up to leave.

Shen Yan raised his hand to help Chi Yu, but Jiang Ziyi stepped in front of him first, like a possessive puppy, glaring at Shen Yan and saying, "Don't even think about taking advantage of my brother while he's drunk!"

"I didn't." Shen Yan lied without batting an eye.

Jiang Ziyi didn't believe him at all: "You dare swear it! If you're lying, my brother will never like you for the rest of his life!"

Shen Yan: "…………"

He's incompetent.

Jiang Ziyi immediately exploded: "What did I say! Get out of my way, I'm taking my brother home!"

As he spoke, he went to help Chi Yu up, but the scene was more like Chi Yu helping him up than him helping Chi Yu – he was hanging crookedly on his brother, each of his two legs walking on their own.

Shen Yan stood there, watching the two stumble and fall as they made their way up to the second floor. Only after their figures disappeared around the corner in the corridor did he turn away. After standing still for a few seconds, he turned and went to the kitchen—

We can't let him drive Xiao Chi Ge there, but he can make some hangover soup and bring it up :-).

There's always a way to overcome difficulties, so Shen Yan got right to work and headed straight for the refrigerator in the kitchen to get the ingredients.

The three quickly left the filming location. Xu Jinhuan and Lin Jianshen also headed towards the elevator, preparing to take it back to the third floor, while Jiang Ling was taken to the villa next door by staff.

The living room quickly fell silent as staff busied themselves packing up equipment. For a moment, only Xu Zeyan and Su Yang remained in the large space.

Su Yang clearly didn't want to stay in the same place as Xu Zeyan. After confirming that no one had left anything on the table, she picked up her phone and prepared to leave.

However, after taking only two steps—

"Suyang."

The voice behind her was deep and cold, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression. Xu Zeyan remained seated, his gaze fixed on her back as if he were watching his prey.

"Stay away from Xu Jinhuan," he said calmly, as if stating a given fact. "Your identities are different. If I see you contacting her again..."

"Don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

A few seconds later, Su Yang turned around and looked at the person with clear, sharp eyes:

"So you threatened her like that back then, didn't you?"

……

Shen Yan thought he would see Chi Yu on the second floor, but he didn't expect to run into him in the corridor.

A warm yellow wall lamp cast a small patch of light over the person's head. Chi Yu hugged his knees and huddled in the corner, the hem of his white T-shirt hanging loosely down, making him look tiny.

Shen Yan was taken aback. Although he and Jiang Ziyi didn't get along in some ways, he believed that the other party would definitely get his brother safely into the room.

But why did Chi Yu sneak out again after being escorted into the room? Shen Yan was a little puzzled and walked towards the person's direction.

As soon as Shen Yan walked over, he knew why Chi Yu was squatting in the corridor—the room was pitch black, and you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.

Chi Yu was afraid of the dark, so of course he refused to stay inside.

Sure enough, when Shen Yan pressed the switch with a "click," the warm yellow light instantly filled the entire room. Chi Yu shuddered, turned his head to look at the brightly lit room, and his tense back gradually relaxed.

Shen Yan returned to the corridor and reached out his hand to him, "Let's go, Brother Chi, it's not dark in there anymore."

Chi Yu stared at that fair and slender hand for several seconds, and only after confirming that the person in front of him was harmless did he slowly place his own hand on it.

The room was lit with a warm, gentle yellow light. Shen Yan led the man to the bedside, placed the hangover soup in his hand, and said softly, "Drink this first, it'll help you sober up."

Chi Yu held the bowl, but didn't move.

Shen Yan changed the word: "Sweet."

Chi Yu then picked up the bowl and began to drink it in small sips.

They're just like little kids.

Shen Yan watched his actions and couldn't help but smile and chuckle softly.

While Chi Yu was drinking the hangover soup, Shen Yan helped him plug in the nightlight he had given him a few days ago and turned off the glaring headlights above his head.

The night was quiet and still, and a soft orange glow spread across the headboard, like a small, quiet moon.

After doing all this, Chi Yu had just finished drinking the hangover soup. Shen Yan took the empty bowl, pulled up the blanket, and tucked the obedient man inside. Then he whispered goodbye to him:

"Brother, I'm leaving now. Goodnight."

This was Chi Yu's private space after all, and Shen Yan felt it wasn't appropriate for him to stay here any longer.

However, as soon as he turned around with the bowl in his hand, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed.

Shen Yan looked down and saw Chi Yu looking at him with misty eyes in the soft light, his thin lips slightly parted, his voice pleading:

"Don't go."

Shen Yan was startled, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

But after only two bumps, the little deer in his heart suddenly died. Because the next second, Chi Yu looked at him and suddenly shouted:

"Mother."

Shen Yan: "???"

Shen Yan placed the bowl back on the bedside table, squatted down, and asked with amusement, "Who am I?"

"Mom," Chi Yu called out again.

A pair of beautiful, clear, and innocent eyes looked at him, making Shen Yan lose all his temper. He shook his head, sighed softly, and asked, "Why Mom?"

Chi Yu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said somewhat shyly, "Because... only my mother is good to me."

Shen Yan was stunned again. What did he mean by "only Mom" ​​being good to him?

Drunk people all have their own set of behavioral logic. He didn't know how old Chi Yu's memory had regressed to, but the word "only" still pierced his heart.

Only Mom.

What about the others?

He remembered Jiang Ziyi saying that their mother had passed away when Chi Yu was five or six years old. A five or six-year-old child, just beginning to remember things, just beginning to understand what love is, and then that person is gone forever.

Under what circumstances would someone equate "being good to me" with "my mother"?

It's likely that from then on, no one treated him as well as his mother did.

Shen Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Don't go, okay?" Chi Yu tugged at his sleeve again. Seemingly, he hadn't received an answer for too long, and he became a little flustered, his voice becoming even lower.

Her tone sounded even more pitiful, reminding Shen Yan of the skinny kittens he had seen in the park when he was a child.

Lonely, wandering, cautious.

Shen Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the surging sorrow in his heart, grabbed the hand on his sleeve, and nodded, saying, "Okay, I won't leave."

Anyway, let's get him to sleep first.

Shen Yan sat on the edge of the bed, lifted a corner of the quilt, carefully lay down, turned to his side, and carefully tucked the quilt that had been covering him up.

"Shall I sing you a song?"

Chi Yu nodded.

Shen Yan never expected that lying in bed with the person he had a crush on for the first time would be like this. He smiled silently, raised his hand, and gently placed it on Chi Yu's back, patting it slowly and gently.

Sleep well, sleep well, my dear baby—

"All the world's desires, happiness and wishes—"

"All warmth belongs to you."

Shen Yan only remembered these few lines of lyrics about the song, so he sang it over and over again.

After several attempts, Shen Yan was almost lulled to sleep when he turned his head and found that the person in the blanket was still awake, their dark pupils staring at him quietly.

Shen Yan: "..."

Shen Yan: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"It sounds nice," Chi Yu said, looking at him.

Shen Yan instantly sobered up. So, Brother Chi didn't want to sleep because I sang so well? That's too much—

"Mom doesn't sing well."

Shen Yan: "?"

I didn't notice anything wrong with the gender, but did this give me away?

interesting.
