Good Brother [Extra update for "Little Bookshelf" Alliance Leader]

Ji Xiang ultimately failed to get a photo of Lin Shen from Wu Wei.

Although he sympathized with him, Wu Wei wasn't crazy.

Ji Xiang left Imperial Capital University feeling very disappointed, telling him before he left that there was no need to rush to Night Emperor Academy.

Compared to Imperial Capital University, Night Emperor Academy did indeed offer more resources and things to learn, but its goal-oriented nature was also much stronger.

He believed that Wu Wei didn't need to enter a mode of singular self-improvement so early, and that such a mode wasn't necessarily suitable for everyone.

Wu Wei wasn't persuaded by Ji Xiang, but he thought of Wu Tian.

When it came to their methods of education, Wu Tian and Lin Shen were diametrically opposed.

Lin Shen had educated Wu Wei according to a very strict standard since he was a child, and her goal had always been clear: to cultivate a descendant as excellent, or even more excellent, than herself.

But Wu Tian never liked this behavior of Lin Shen's; he preferred to entice Wu Wei to play and do things that seemed to have no meaning at all. Compared to whether Wu Wei was excellent or not, he cared more about whether Wu Wei was happy.

If it were an ordinary child, facing such an upbringing, they would certainly be closer to their father than their mother.

However, perhaps it was because Wu Wei was born extraordinary, or perhaps Lin Shen's personal charisma was simply too strong, but in any case, Wu Wei still preferred his mother over the father who was incomparably indulgent toward him.

But toward Wu Tian, Wu Wei certainly still held respect.

Although he didn't know why, Wu Wei knew that Wu Tian did not want him to follow in his mother's footsteps.

Wu Wei could not agree to Wu Tian's wishes.

He could only temporarily slow his pace.

However, as for that world he had yet to step into, Wu Wei would go in to take a look sooner or later.

He had always believed that avoidance could not solve any problems.

Those who want to hide usually cannot hide in the end.

Just like his current situation; even though he hadn't entered that circle yet, there was already trouble around him.

Therefore, it was better to face some things proactively.

This was also the most fundamental conflict of ideas between Wu Tian and Lin Shen.

Thinking of this, Wu Wei missed Wu Tian a little.

It must be said that things in the world are often just that coincidental.

Just as Wu Wei was about to call Wu Tian, Wu Tian's call came through one step ahead.

"Hello, Dad?"

"It's me, Wu Wei. Come home for a bit; I have something to tell you."

Wu Tian's tone was somewhat hesitant, which made Wu Wei feel very strange.

"Dad, is there something you can't say over the phone?"

"It's not something that can be explained clearly in a moment over the phone. You should just come back."

Without giving Wu Wei a chance to refuse, Wu Tian ended the call directly.

Wu Wei was a bit suspicious.

What the hell is going on?

Although he had already self-studied all the university courses and could arrange his time entirely as he pleased, Wu Wei usually had a lot of books to read, and Wu Tian rarely asked him to come home.

Even though their house wasn't far from Imperial Capital University.

Could something have happened at home? Was there danger?

Wu Wei frowned, then quickly returned to his dormitory and opened his computer.

He discovered that everything at home was normal; Wu Tian was cooking, and judging by the portions, it was for two people, including himself.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Carrying this question, Wu Wei returned home.

His house wasn't very nice, and the space was even smaller, but this didn't affect Wu Wei's satisfaction with the house in the slightest.

There was no other reason: the location of his house was excellent.

The housing prices in the Imperial Capital are known to the whole world.

If one counted the total assets of the Wu family, they were close to a hundred million, so Wu Wei could completely call himself a rich second generation.

Although their family's liquid assets were pitifully small, and Wu Wei's monthly allowance was only two thousand yuan.

It must be said that there are many such families in the Imperial Capital.

It's impossible to tell whether to describe them as incredibly wealthy or incredibly poor.

"You're back? Sit for a while, dinner will be ready soon."

It was impossible for Wu Tian to be formal with Wu Wei.

Looking at Wu Tian bustling about, Wu Wei's expression was somewhat strange.

Recalling the past, the last time Wu Tian showed such unprovoked courtesy, it seemed to be when he was preparing to divorce Lin Shen and wanted him to live with him.

"Dad, what have you done to wrong me again?"

Wu Tian paused, then immediately retorted with an angry shout, "Is that any way to talk? I am your father, do you even understand the meaning of respect?"

"Dad, we know each other too well, so let's drop the act. You know you can't fool me, so just come clean. What exactly did you do to wrong me? You didn't suddenly go and get me a younger brother, did you?"

Wu Tian's mouth hung slightly open as he looked at Wu Wei, momentarily forgetting what he was about to say next.

Wu Wei's pupils dilated as well, his brain momentarily short-circuiting.

Holy crap, I was just saying that off the cuff—what is this reaction supposed to mean?

Could it be that Mom really divorced him back then because he cheated?

Ten thousand alpacas stampeded through Wu Wei's mind.

Wu Tian fled in a panic to busy himself with the cooking, leaving Wu Wei alone at the dining table to let his imagination run wild.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Wei and Wu Tian sat opposite each other, the atmosphere awkward and stiff.

Wu Wei took the initiative to break the silence.

"That's a very old story, isn't it?"

Wu Tian nodded silently.

Then, he immediately added, "I didn't cheat after marriage; I just had a history before I was married."

Wu Wei let out a sigh of relief and said slowly, "So, in other words, I have an older brother now."

Wu Tian's expression turned somewhat awkward.

"This... that... actually, I'm not entirely sure myself. Weiwei, you know your old man is very handsome and quite talented, so I was very popular with the girls."

Wu Wei could not deny that.

Even the brilliant Lin Shen, who was so outstanding in the eyes of others, had fallen for Wu Tian's face.

One could only imagine how many superficial fans had thrown themselves at him when he was young.

"So, before I married your mother, it was inevitable that I would flirt with a few women here and there."

Wu Wei looked at Wu Tian with a strange gaze, saying nothing, waiting for Wu Tian's performance.

Wu Tian rubbed his nose and continued his confession: "There was one woman who was very special; she was the girlfriend of my best friend at the time."

Wu Wei's hand twitched.

"I was seduced, I swear! And that woman was actually a green tea bitch; I only played along to prove what she was, intending to save my friend from a sea of misery." Wu Tian rattled off these words in a rush, then secretly watched for Wu Wei's reaction.

Wu Wei gave his judgment quite directly: "Heh."

Wu Tian: "..."

"I believe you. Keep going."

I don't hear a shred of belief in that, Wu Tian thought to himself.

However, since he had a guilty conscience, he didn't dare to press the issue and continued: "But I didn't expect my friend to be so stupid. Even after he caught me and that woman having an affair, he actually ended up marrying her anyway."

Wu Wei: "ヽ(.ゝω?.)?"

That was truly stupid.

"And today, I received a phone call from that woman. She said that her son is actually my seed."

"You should know him; I believe he is the student council president at your Imperial Capital University."
