Did You Get Jealous?

When he went to meet the chief director that afternoon, Qi Si had already sorted out his emotions.

No matter what, he was Qi Si of this world now.

Compared to the original Qi Si, who had screwed Qi Wang over so badly, he at least genuinely hoped Qi Wang could live well.

If there was no solution for some things for the time being, then he would leave the answer to time.

That was right, he was shamelessly running away from it!

It might have been shameless, but it worked!

The chief director of Go! All-Round Charge! had the surname Xiang, and his full name was Xiang Qianchong.

When Qi Si heard that name, he nearly spat out the mouthful of water he had just taken.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hurriedly covered his mouth.

That prevented an indiscriminate attack on a wider area.

Qi Wang pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, chiding, "You're already such a grown man. How are you still this careless? How can I feel at ease letting you go out alone like this?"

Qi Si looked utterly embarrassed.

This really was not entirely his fault. Who told the director to have such a talented name?

Qi Si felt that Director Xiang Qianchong had to bear some responsibility for making him lose his composure like that.

"Director Xiang, I'm sorry. I've spoiled my little brother too much, so please bear with him," Qi Wang said politely as he looked at Xiang Qianchong across from them.

"Haha... it's fine. My name really is pretty amusing. Young Master Qi isn't the only one to react so strongly after hearing it," Xiang Qianchong said with a dismissive wave and a laugh.

Looking at the harmless-looking Qi Wang before him, Xiang Qianchong understood that although Qi Wang had said to bear with him, it was not mere politeness. He genuinely meant for Xiang Qianchong to bear with him.

It could even be called a notice. He was entrusting his little brother to him and telling him to take good care of him—or else he would be held accountable if anything happened.

Xiang Qianchong looked at Qi Si with a headache.

If he had not owed Qi Wang a favor before this, then no matter how much money Qi Wang threw at him, he never would have agreed to let Qi Si join the show.

Qi Si was no fool, so of course he could sense that Xiang Qianchong was not particularly eager to have him around.

But his brother had already traded a favor for this. He could not back out now and say he was not going. That would not be slapping Xiang Qianchong in the face—it would be slapping his brother in the face.

So Qi Si gave Xiang Qianchong an apologetic smile.

"Director Xiang, sorry."

Xiang Qianchong waved his hand and looked at Qi Wang.

"Chairman Qi, you can rest assured. As long as Young Master Qi doesn't do anything against the rules, nothing will happen!"

The implication was that if Qi Si deliberately refused to follow directions, then Xiang Qianchong would not take responsibility if something happened.

Qi Si tactically lowered his head and drank some water.

The expression on Qi Wang's face cooled slightly.

"Of course. My little brother is very well-behaved."

The moment Qi Wang said that, Xiang Qianchong across from him and Qi Si beside him both wore expressions as though they had seen a ghost.

Xiang Qianchong: He's well-behaved?!

Qi Si: I'm well-behaved?!!

For that instant, their thoughts were unexpectedly in perfect sync.

Xiang Qianchong looked at Qi Wang as if he wanted to say something, but faced with Qi Wang's unquestionable gaze, he swallowed the words back.

Qi Si quietly tugged on Qi Wang's sleeve. "Bro, even I'm blushing at how smoothly you lie with your eyes open."

Qi Wang shot him a sidelong glance, his eyes nakedly conveying one message—

So you know you're not well-behaved at all?

Qi Si: "..." Sorry for interrupting. Please, carry on.

With Qi Si no longer causing trouble, Qi Wang settled things with Xiang Qianchong in just a few sentences and secured the greatest possible degree of freedom for Qi Si on the show.

After signing the contract, Qi Wang drove Qi Si home before heading back to the company himself.

Seeing how busy Qi Wang was, Qi Si could not help sympathizing with him for one second.

He had been just as exhausted in his previous life, busy with work every day and with practically no time for entertainment or rest.

Until he eventually worked himself into collapse.

He had to find a chance to persuade Qi Wang not to push himself so hard. Work could be done anytime, but if he collapsed from exhaustion, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Qi Wang truly worried over Qi Si's affairs.

Since Qi Si was going to participate in a variety show, Qi Wang specifically assembled a temporary team for him, dedicated solely to handling matters related to Qi Si.

That kind of setup was explosive even by entertainment-industry standards.

As a result, everyone who heard about it assumed Qi Si was about to enter the entertainment industry and sent messages to ask.

That even included Augus from Qi Si's contact list.

[Augus: Are you entering the entertainment industry for love?]

[Unrestrained: Huh?]

Augus directly sent him a webpage link.

When Qi Si opened it, he found it was actually a made-up gossip article from a marketing account, built on nothing but speculation.

The entire piece roughly conveyed two points.

First, Qi Wang had assembled a professional team for him, proving that his next step would be an official debut.

Second, everyone knew that Qi Si had long been obsessively in love with the popular young actress Lin Weiwei, so there was an eighty-percent chance he was entering the industry to get close to her and gain the advantage of proximity.

It sounded thoroughly convincing, complete with examples as evidence.

If Qi Si had not been personally involved, then just reading that article would have made him believe the marketing account was telling the truth.

[Unrestrained: ...]

[Unrestrained: It's fake, don't believe it! I don't like Lin Weiwei at all anymore!]

[Augus: .]

No, what was with sending a period?

Qi Si stared at the period the other person had sent on his phone. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, yet he still could not figure out what it was supposed to mean.

[Unrestrained: What does sending a period mean? Do you believe it or not?]

[Augus: Is that important?]

[Unrestrained: Of course! I'm pursuing you. If you misunderstand, wouldn't I be terribly wronged?]

[Augus: The fact that you pursued Lin Weiwei is indisputable, isn't it?]

When Qi Si saw that reply, he froze completely.

Why did that sound a little off?

Or was he overthinking it?

[Unrestrained: Are you... jealous?]

Qi Si thought he had asked rather cautiously.

In reality, he had been so direct that the person on the other end did not know how to respond for a moment.

Bo Yanqi looked at the little guy's reply on his phone and rubbed his brow.

Was this how young people's minds worked?

Bo Yanqi's finger hesitated over the phone screen for several moments, but in the end, he did not reply at all.

Just then, his assistant informed him that it was time for a meeting, so he took the opportunity to skip over the topic.

After Qi Si sent the message, he waited for a long time without receiving a reply, and he could not help feeling a little frustrated.

Was that question really so hard to answer?

Unable to get an answer, Qi Si inevitably took out his irritation on Lin Weiwei.

Just as he was about to make another solemn post on Weibo clarifying his relationship with Lin Weiwei, he saw his name and Lin Weiwei's appear together on the trending searches again.

The last trending topic had only just died down, and now there was another one?

Qi Si thought it was because of that gossip article. He angrily clicked it open, only to discover that it was not what he had expected.
