"What's wrong?"
After pouring all the liquid into the mold, Chen Wen withdrew from his work state and noticed the girl's gaze beside him.
"Ah... nothing..." Discovered, He Ran's eyes flickered, her cheeks flushed, and she immediately changed the subject, asking, "Where's the bathroom? I need to go."
"It's right across the hall." Chen Wen, suspecting nothing, pointed the way for He Ran.
Seizing this brief moment, He Ji quickly grabbed the camera to review the footage he had recorded earlier, noting down some good shots in his mind.
"I haven't filmed this type of video before," Chen Wen said truthfully and asked, "Is it not very engaging?"
"No, no, no, this is perfect," He Ji waved his hand.
In He Ji's opinion, Chen Wen was merely a tool for this video; the key figures were him and his sister, He Ran.
Therefore, during the previous recording, he hadn't deliberately guided Chen Wen to create any engaging moments. The interactions were basically him and He Ran arguing remotely.
By then, the audience's attention would definitely be focused on the siblings, and their bickering would surely be something the audience would enjoy.
As for Gu Wen?
He was a newcomer YouTuber with just over tens of thousands of followers. Even if he knew a million-follower YouTuber like Qiuqiu, just being able to appear in Si Jiao Ji's video and introduce himself was enough to gain a lot of followers.
With all this considered, He Ji felt he hadn't treated Gu Wen unfairly.
Although he always politely called Chen Wen "big shot" to his face, He Ji didn't actually consider Chen Wen to be a YouTuber on the same level.
It was just that his principle of "doing things without going all the way and not offending people casually" had always made He Ji maintain a polite and courteous attitude.
Moreover, looking at Gu Wen's skills, he did have some talent.
If he were to become truly famous in the future, He Ji wouldn't mind having another friend.
He wouldn't dislike Gu Wen just because he was ugly; judging people by their appearance wouldn't do.
Meanwhile, as the few of them were watching the footage in the craft room, He Ran walked out and suddenly noticed two takeout boxes on the dining table next to the kitchen.
Does this senior Gu Wen eat this much?
He Ran scratched her head in confusion, didn't think much of it, and walked straight into the bathroom.
As a result, while she was relieving herself, she suddenly noticed two toothbrush cups on the sink, each holding a toothbrush.
Judging by the "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" pattern on them, they looked like a couple's set?
Could it be that senior Gu Wen had been single for too long and bought a couple's toothbrush set to comfort himself?
It couldn't be that he already had a girlfriend and was living together, right?
He Ran shook her head.
Although senior Gu Wen's eyes were indeed quite charming, his personality... really wasn't attractive to girls.
She, of course, didn't know that Jiang Qiuyi had bought the matching toothbrush cups and toothbrushes just a few days ago, specifically so she could brush her teeth squeezed together with Chen Wen every morning.
Walking out of the bathroom, He Ran deliberately observed the living room's layout more carefully and found no signs of cohabitation.
This made her even more convinced of her previous guess, and she felt a little sympathetic towards this senior Gu Wen.
He was already a junior in college and still single, having to buy couple's items to comfort himself, how pitiful...
Returning to the craft room, He Ran completed the final step under Chen Wen's guidance. After filming the footage, she took out her phone and said generously:
"Big shot Gu Wen, let's add each other on WeChat. It'll be convenient to ask you any questions directly in the future."
This senior Gu Wen person was just too quiet, not interesting at all.
But he was quite honest, and he didn't seem to have looked at her thighs much, so he could be classified as a good man category... He Ran evaluated him internally.
If there was a chance in the future, it wouldn't be bad to recommend him to her best friends.
With that thought, He Ran got Chen Wen's WeChat and added the tag "Honest Straight Man."
Chen Wen didn't think much of it. After adding He Ran as a friend, he put her on the "not close" list, someone Chen Wen would basically never proactively message.
"Then let's go to the living room to film the outro footage. We can call it a day," He Ji said, clapping his hands.
So, under He Ji's direction, they made a transition and moved to the living room, and did it again.
After the usual "please like, please coin, please favorite, please do a one-click three-combo," He Ji finished filming the outro part, and the video was officially wrapped up.
"Thank you for your hard work today, big shot Gu Wen," He Ji thanked him politely, without any airs.
He Ran also obediently thanked him, "Big shot Gu Wen, thank you for your hard work~"
After Chen Wen confirmed that the camera was off, he nodded and took off his mask, "Mm, you're welcome."
The next moment, the bright afternoon sun from three or four o'clock shone in from the balcony, landing on half of Chen Wen's face and perfectly outlining his features.
This scene completely stunned the He Ji and He Ran siblings.
This... He Ji suddenly felt unbalanced, even a little jealous.
Brother, you're not being fair...
When you were unwilling to show your face earlier, I thought you looked so bad that you were sorry to your parents and elders.
Turns out you're this handsome?!
So, I've been looking like this all along, and I was even comforting you in my heart before?!
Thinking about it, He Ji felt a mix of sadness and anger.
He had pitied him for nothing!
Meanwhile, He Ran, a combination of a voice, hand, and appearance fetish, sounded the alarm in her heart the moment she saw Chen Wen's face!
Such a treasure of a senior, and she hadn't encountered him at school for so long?!
If she had met Senior Gu Wen earlier, what was her male classmate compared to him?
"What's wrong?" Chen Wen asked, a little confused as to why the air had suddenly gone quiet.
"Cough, cough..." He Ji raised his hand to cover his embarrassment, shook his head, and called to his people, "We won't bother you anymore, we'll be leaving now."
"Oh." Chen Wen didn't think much of it and nodded goodbye, "Take care."
However, just as He Ji was packing up to leave, He Ran remained rooted to the spot.
"Let's go, let's go." He Ji rolled his eyes and grabbed his sister's arm.
"I know..." He Ran moved towards the door, half-heartedly pushing against him. As she passed Chen Wen, she couldn't help but ask, "Gu Wen... Senior, what's your major?"
"Accounting," Chen Wen replied, "Why?"
"It's nothing..." He Ran gave a rare, shy smile. "I'm studying finance, so I was a bit surprised I hadn't seen you around campus."
Chen Wen found it quite normal. "There are so many people at school."
"Can I treat you to a meal at school next time you're free?" He Ran seized the opportunity to climb higher. "After all, you went to so much trouble for us today."
"That's not necessary..."
Creeeak~
Before Chen Wen could finish speaking, the bedroom door behind him suddenly opened!
A tall girl, wearing only a man's white shirt, walked out of the bedroom, looking dazed and drowsy with a cute, sleepy expression.
Jiang Qiuyi rubbed her eyes with her sleeve, her innocent big eyes blinked, and finally, she smiled cutely, tilting her head to ask:
"Huh? Do we have guests?"
