Someone Else's Brother

[They're here! They're here!]

[Whose house is this? It looks like something I could never afford.]

[Forget it. Ordinary people could work their whole lives and still not afford even a toilet here.]

[Holy crap! It's that expensive? So who lives here?]

[Young Master Qi, probably. Among the guests this season, only his status seems to fit a place like this.]

[Wuwuwu, is this how rich people live? I love it!]

As soon as the production team started the livestream, a huge wave of viewers poured in.

Once the camera passed through the gates of the Qi Household, the comments became so excited they nearly covered the entire screen.

It was not because the Qi Household was especially extravagant.

On the contrary, its interior decor did not look particularly luxurious. Instead, it had a unique warmth to it.

What truly caused such a huge reaction from the viewers was the person who appeared on-screen.

The moment Qi Wang appeared before the camera, the comments went wild.

[Ahhhhh! Holy crap! How can there be such a gorgeous beauty? Who is he? Three seconds! I want all his information!]

[...Are you stupid? You don't know Qi Wang?]

[Holy crap? This is Qi Wang? Qi Wang is this good-looking?]

[Let this gorgeous beauty cuddle me (¯﹃¯)]

[No... I don't understand! Qi Wang looks like this, so how did Qi Si ever fall for Lin Weiwei? And simp for her that badly? (confused)]

[What do you mean? Our Weiwei isn't bad-looking either, okay!]

[Open your eyes and take a good look. Can she possibly be prettier than the gorgeous beauty in front of you?]

[But Qi Wang is a man, and Qi Si's biological brother. What use is being good-looking? (picks nose)]

The viewers could not be blamed for making such a fuss.

Qi Wang's face truly was not as famous as his name.

Netizens all knew that the owner of Qi Corporation was named Qi Wang and that he was Qi Si's older brother.

However, very few people had actually seen what Qi Wang looked like.

There were plenty of news articles about Qi Wang online, but without exception, none included a front-facing photo of him. At most, there were shots of his back or profile.

The kind where you could tell he was not ugly, but not exactly how handsome he was.

This livestream was Qi Wang's first official face reveal to the entire internet.

As expected, plenty of screenshots of Qi Wang's face had already begun circulating online.

The production team had not expected such an unexpected surprise this time.

Only Xiang Qianchong, the chief director, accepted the fact calmly after his brief surprise.

Then again, with Qi Si appearing on the show, how could Qi Wang, a severe little-brother fanatic, possibly not keep watch the entire time?

Xiang Qianchong would bet everything that, if the production team did not have rules against it, Qi Wang would definitely personally send Qi Si to the destination!

"Hello. Please come in. A-Si is still getting ready and will be down shortly."

After welcoming the production team inside, Qi Wang did not act overly warm.

He merely asked whether they had eaten breakfast. Once the staff said they had, he did not pay them any further attention.

What surprised the viewers was that only the two brothers, Qi Wang and Qi Si, lived in such a large villa. There was not even a servant in sight.

The PD asked curiously, "Chairman Qi, is it just you and Young Master Qi living here?"

"Yes." Qi Wang nodded faintly.

The PD asked in surprise, "Wouldn't cleaning such a large place usually be exhausting?"

"It's fine. People come by regularly to clean," Qi Si explained.

Everyone suddenly understood.

It was not that the household had not hired servants, nor did the housework need to be done personally.

They hired housekeeping staff who came at scheduled times.

[I remember reading an article about Qi Wang a long time ago. It said he has an extremely strong sense of territory, and the only living creature he can tolerate within his living space is his younger brother. (covers face)]

[Good lord! Is this what blatant favoritism looks like?]

[Where can I pick up a brother like this? What documents do I need? Are the procedures complicated?]

[It's not too bad. You just don't qualify to claim one in this lifetime. (picks nose)]

[Hahahahaha! Did you have to stab us right in the heart? (covers face)]

Qi Wang chatted with the PD for a few moments, checked the time, and rose to his feet. "I'll go upstairs and see whether A-Si is ready."

"Um... Chairman Qi, may we go upstairs with you? To film some material, would that be all right?" the PD asked cautiously.

Qi Wang frowned slightly. It was clear that he was somewhat resistant to strangers intruding into his private space.

Seeing that frown, the PD began to lose confidence.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to give up, Qi Wang said, "You can."

The PD looked at Qi Wang in surprise, disbelief appearing in his eyes.

He actually agreed?!

Coming back to his senses, the PD hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, thank you! Don't worry, Chairman Qi. We definitely won't film anything we aren't supposed to!"

Upstairs, in Qi Si's room.

Already fully packed, Qi Si looked at himself in the mirror. After confirming there was nothing inappropriate about his appearance, he picked up his packed suitcase and opened the door.

The moment he opened it, he saw Qi Wang, who was about to raise his hand and knock.

"Holy crap!" Qi Si jumped in fright. "Bro? Why are you outside my door? You scared me!"

Qi Wang looked Qi Si over from head to toe and explained, "You hadn't come down after so long, so I came up to see whether you were done packing. The production team has been waiting for you for quite a while."

"No, no! We only arrived not long ago ourselves!" the PD, who had followed behind, hurriedly said upon hearing that.

Only then did Qi Si notice the PD behind Qi Wang and the cameraman carrying the camera.

Qi Si immediately smiled at the camera and greeted it. "Hi! Good morning! Have you eaten?"

"Yes, yes! Young Master Qi, have you eaten?" the PD asked.

"I have too." He pointed at the suitcase beside him. "I'm packed. Shall we leave now?"

"No rush, no rush!" The PD rubbed his hands together, smiling with slightly ill intent. "We still have a task to complete before setting off."

"A task?" Qi Si looked at the PD in confusion.

The PD explained, "Yes. Before departure, we need to inspect every guest's suitcase to make sure there are no prohibited items inside."

"Uh... what counts as a prohibited item?" Qi Si asked.

"Other than essential daily necessities and certain special medications, everything else counts as a prohibited item and can't be brought along."

The PD's words made Qi Si's eyes widen.

"That strict?"

"Yes, so please cooperate with our inspection, Young Master Qi."

Qi Wang had remained silent at the side, but when he heard the PD mention prohibited items, he could not help frowning.

The PD's attention was on Qi Si, so he did not notice Qi Wang's reaction.

The viewers in the livestream, however, noticed it.

[Does Chairman Qi's expression mean he's unhappy?]

[He's probably worried about his younger brother suffering. This guy's little-brother obsession is pretty terrifying.]

[When I see someone else's family, I think this brother is spoiling his younger brother too much. But if he were my brother, I would only want to say: Bro! You're the GOAT!]

[Hahahahaha, so true!]
