Is Someone Going to Keep Him in Line?

Qi Si's thoughts stalled. His phone was set to privacy mode; he could only see that a message had come in, not its contents unless he opened it.

Qi Si looked at his phone in confusion. Who would message him at a time like this?

Everyone knew he was here filming a show, so they generally would not message him.

Qi Si opened Green Bubbles, wanting to see which fake friend had sent such an ill-timed message.

The moment he opened it, he froze.

The next second, he sprang straight up from the bed, staring at his phone in utter disbelief.

The livestream viewers were startled by Qi Si's reaction.

[What happened? What happened?]

[He suddenly jumped up and scared the hell out of me.]

[What did he see? Why is he so excited? Let me see too!]

[Did any of you send some insanely explosive comment?]

It was not just the livestream viewers who were curious about what Qi Si had seen to get so excited.

Xiang Qianchong was curious too.

But the cameras in the guests' rooms were fixed in place, so they could not capture what was on his phone.

Xiang Qianchong wondered if Qi Wang had messaged him.

In truth, Qi Wang was also very curious about what exactly Qi Si had seen.

Qi Si stared at his Green Bubbles in disbelief.

He stared at the sender's ID. After going blank for several seconds, he even raised a hand and rubbed his eyes.

Then he lowered his hand and looked again.

"It really isn't a hallucination?!" Qi Si grew excited.

Seeing his reaction, the livestream viewers became even more curious.

[Ahhh! What is it exactly?!]

[This damn curiosity is driving me insane!]

[Could it be a message from Lin Weiwei?]

[Stop dragging our Weiwei into everything! Weiwei is busy doing tasks. Where would she find the time to message some young master like him?]

[Oh, wow! Lin Weiwei's fans are acting all high and mighty now? Did she latch onto Second Young Master Zhou, so now even Young Master Qi is beneath her?]

The livestream chat was bustling with commotion, and Qi Si's heart was just as lively.

[Augus: Has filming for the variety show started?]

Qi Si had not expected Augus to take the initiative and message him.

He was checking in on him, right?

Yes! He was definitely checking in on him!

[Unrestrained: Augus! Why did you suddenly message me?]

[Unrestrained: Yep! I'm filming a variety show right now. Just open the livestream and you'll see me!]

After sending that message, Qi Si suddenly realized that he was currently livestreaming!

Did that not mean Augus might see how he looked on camera?

The thought made Qi Si feel instantly awful, and he hurriedly climbed out of bed.

He glanced at the camera across from him. As though he had only just realized he was livestreaming, he quickly raised a hand to fix his hair and clothes.

Watching Qi Si behave like that, everyone in the livestream was rather baffled.

[Did he only just realize he was livestreaming?]

[Hahaha, why do I feel like that's very possible?]

[Did the director message him and tell him to pay attention to his appearance?]

Director: It wasn't me! I didn't!

The director was taking the blame for this one.

Qi Wang narrowed his eyes at Qi Si on the livestream. His younger brother was clearly acting strange.

And how should he put this posture of his?

It looked a little familiar.

Qi Wang remembered that when Qi Si had pursued Lin Weiwei before, he had acted just like this.

Like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Alarm bells immediately rang in Qi Wang's heart.

Could it be Lin Weiwei again?

No, it probably was not Lin Weiwei.

Qi Si had said he no longer liked Lin Weiwei, and his previous behavior had shown that he truly did not like her anymore.

So the person messaging him should not be Lin Weiwei. If it really were Lin Weiwei, Qi Si would not have reacted like this either.

Qi Wang began recalling everyone Qi Si had interacted with recently, searching for a suspect.

After thinking it over, he realized Qi Si had indeed behaved himself lately. He had not gone out fooling around with that group of useless friends of his.

Nor had any other women appeared around him.

Qi Wang frowned deeply, a faint unease stirring in his heart.

Qi Si had no idea that what he considered an ordinary reaction had caused such a stir in so many hearts.

Bo Yanqi held his phone, his eyes fixed on the livestream playing on his tablet, a smile curling his lips.

The young master's messages were still displayed in Green Bubbles.

Bo Yanqi had not deliberately opened Qi Si's livestream. A floating notification from the livestream backend had popped up, and without paying attention, his hand had slipped and tapped into it.

The moment he entered, he saw Qi Si's familiar face. Only then did Bo Yanqi remember that this little fellow seemed to have told him before that he was going on a variety show.

Bo Yanqi had been busy at the time and had not looked closely.

Naturally, he had not replied either.

Qi Si had probably noticed his cold attitude, because he had not messaged him over the following few days.

If he had not happened to enter the livestream today, Bo Yanqi might not even have remembered it.

He saw Qi Si playing with his phone in the livestream, looking rather unhappy.

Only then did Bo Yanqi remember that he seemed not to have replied to this little fellow's earlier messages.

Could he be angry over that?

Bo Yanqi suddenly indulged in a bit of narcissism.

By the time he came back to himself, the message had already been sent.

Bo Yanqi felt slightly annoyed. Just as he was about to put down his phone and exit the livestream, he saw the little fellow in the stream sit up excitedly.

He even tried to cover it up by tidying his appearance.

Bo Yanqi suddenly wanted to laugh as he watched him.

The gloomy mood that had weighed on him since morning suddenly eased somewhat.

Bo Yanqi was no longer in a hurry to leave the livestream. Leaning back in his office chair, he watched the stream while messaging the little fellow.

The other livestream viewers could only watch in bewilderment as Qi Si held his phone, chatting with someone they did not know.

Then he suddenly smiled like a complete idiot.

It was unbearable to watch.

[????]

[Is someone going to keep this guy in line? I thought this variety show wasn't supposed to be about watching guests play with their phones?]

[I'm dying. Did he really come here for a company-paid vacation?]

[The other guests are already working themselves to the bone, starting their daily grind of paying off their debts, while he's still playing with his phone. He seriously isn't worried at all.]

[Don't worry. When he has no food to eat tonight, he'll know how to panic.]

Bo Yanqi saw the livestream comments too, and he lowered his head to message Qi Si.

[Augus: Aren't you going to make money? Aren't you afraid you won't have dinner tonight?]

Qi Si froze, realizing that the other man really was watching his livestream.

He immediately sat up a little straighter without making it obvious.

[Unrestrained: Are you worried about me?]

Bo Yanqi: "..." He suddenly felt that worrying about this brat had been entirely unnecessary.
