The old couple was nearly eighty, and their health was deeply worrying, yet they refused to admit they were old. Seeing other exam takers being picked up and dropped off by their parents, they felt they couldn't let their child suffer such an injustice. They had even bought folding stools and watermelons in advance, insisting on waiting outside the school gates.

It gave Li Zhikong a splitting headache. He tried persuading them again and again, but in the end, with no other choice, he invoked Qin Mobei's name, saying his brother had already arranged everything—a professional exam-support team with guaranteed five-star service... His grandparents loved seeing the two brothers getting along so well, so they gladly stepped aside and stayed home to await the good news of their youngest grandson's triumphant return.

Qin Mobei really had booked Li Zhikong into a nearby five-star hotel and accompanied him throughout the exam yesterday. He had only left for a while that afternoon to deal with an urgent company matter. Who would have thought Li Zhikong, who had barely ever been sick his entire life, would actually faint during an exam and end up in the hospital?

Afraid the truth would worry the elderly couple, Li Zhikong called them as soon as he woke up. He lied that everything was going smoothly on his end; it was just that his brother was being terribly difficult. His brother kept saying that Li Zhikong had been wound too tight during his three years of high school and might develop mental problems, so he insisted on dragging him out to relax for a few days. Li Zhikong had been terribly reluctant to leave his grandparents and had firmly refused, but his brother simply wouldn't listen.

His grandparents laughed themselves silly and didn't suspect a thing. They only told him to stay safe while he was out, listen to his brother, and absolutely not go anywhere sketchy...

Sure, okay, no problem.

Qin Mobei didn't mind taking the blame at all. In fact, he was secretly delighted. He had invited his younger brother out to have fun countless times before and failed every time. Now that he had finally caught such an opportunity, wouldn't it be a disservice to everyone if he didn't seize it tightly?

"You still don't trust me to handle things? It's all settled. I guarantee I didn't give anything away."

"I trust you. I trust you completely. Now hurry up and have someone arrange my discharge. It's not like I have a serious illness. Let's not waste the country's medical resources."

"That's not up to you. We have to listen to what the doctors and nurses say."

Afraid they might overlook some hidden problem, Qin Mobei reviewed the reports and then forced Li Zhikong to undergo a full physical examination. In the end, they confirmed that not only was the brat perfectly healthy, he was built strong as an ox—

The chief physician pushed up his glasses and teased, "Young men really are different! Other than having a little too much fire in you, there's nothing seriously wrong. You're old enough now, and with a face as handsome as yours, don't waste it. Hurry up and get yourself a pretty girlfriend... Do you like the young nurses? If you do, you can take one home right here and now. I've been a doctor for decades, and honestly, this is the first time I've seen so many little nurses dropping by my office..."

Li Zhikong's expression didn't change despite the teasing. Clearly, he had been through this sort of thing many times. This was nothing to him.

Sun Zhenglong, his childhood friend who stood behind him, was no amateur either. With a cheeky grin, he greeted the young nurses, and before long, he had received a whole bag of snacks in every flavor. From this, it could be inferred that the little fat on his body was entirely genuine—every bit of it had been earned through sheer ability.

With both cheeks stuffed full, the chubby boy blinked his tiny eyes and grumbled inwardly:

Ah, people are so shallow. What's the point of only noticing that he's handsome? My celibate giegie already devoted himself to Buddha, okay?

Those lowly worldly desires have nothing to do with him!

Doctor, why don't you look at me instead? I'm full of fire too...

Li Zhikong had no idea what he was muttering behind his back. Once the paperwork was complete, he left the hospital looking calm and refined on the surface, though his head was actually full of nonsense. He got into the Maybach his brother had driven over, and they sped all the way to a newly opened hot spring resort famous throughout the city.

Chapter 3

◎Do you think you can escape?!◎

After arriving at the resort, the brothers got settled in first, then went downstairs shoulder to shoulder to find somewhere to eat.

By then, the lights had just begun to come on. The place they had chosen boasted upscale decor, mountains, scenery, and natural hot springs. Since it was also close to home, it had attracted quite a few wealthy second-generation youths from several nearby cities looking to unwind. Qin Mobei was part of that circle, so people inevitably recognized him along the way and came over to greet him.

"Mobei? What a coincidence! It's really rare to see you out having fun... Oh, my mistake, my mistake. How thoughtless of me to interrupt your time alone together..." One playboy waggled his eyebrows, his face full of envy.

"What time alone? This is my brother!" The veins on Qin Mobei's forehead bulged as he emphasized, "My biological brother!"

"Oh, oh... Your brother, your brother..."

"Young Master Qin! Ah, it's been so long. I heard that project you handled last time made a lot of money. Congratulations, congratulations. When you get the chance, don't forget to help your brothers get rich too... By the way, you haven't introduced us. Could this be?" Another rich kid smiled suggestively and frantically gave Qin Mobei a thumbs-up where Li Zhikong couldn't see.

"He's my brother!" Qin Mobei really wanted to punch him. Gritting his teeth, he stressed again, "My biological brother!"

"Oh, oh... Your brother, your brother..."

"Old Qin! That's not very brotherly of you. Every time we invited you out before, you said you were busy with work, but then you sneaked out to have fun by yourself! Are we even brothers anymore? Choosing women over friends..." A childhood friend who had grown up with him was the least reserved. He rushed over from a distance, lightly punched Qin Mobei in the chest, and spoke exactly like a resentful wife.

"Choosing your fucking mother!" After being misunderstood again and again, Qin Mobei finally exploded. He grabbed his friend by the collar and roared, "If your eyes are useless, gouge them out and donate them to someone who needs them! Choosing women over friends? Where are the women? This is my brother! My biological brother! Can't you see how much we look alike?!"

"...You, you both have two noses and one eye?" His friend hiccupped, so frightened that he began to stutter.

Qin Mobei kicked him viciously and asked in bafflement, "Even if all of you are blind and can't tell we're biological brothers, you shouldn't all mistake us for having that kind of relationship, right? We're two grown men, and we weren't even hugging or anything..."

"Well, swear to heaven first that you're not messing with me. This really is our biological little brother? The kind born from the same father?"

"Not born from the same father..."

His friend immediately wore the insulted expression of someone thinking, I knew you were pulling my leg.
