[Don't even mention boyfriend, I'd dislike this kind of persona even as an older brother!]
Qin Sili: "???"
[Fine, fine, even though he's gone, the feelings remain. I'll tolerate you! This time, I'll let it slide! You like being the older brother, huh? Fine, I'll let you be one for life!]
Qin Sili: "???"
Qin Sili kept staring at Lu Chiyan, and after confirming that Lu Chiyan hadn't spoken, he realized that what he seemed to be hearing Lu Chiyan's inner thoughts.
It was quite different from what he had imagined.
Didn't you say you really like him?
But judging from Lu Chiyan's inner thoughts, it seems that's not the case?
"If you're alright, I'll be going now." After Lu Chiyan turned around and left without any hesitation.
Qin Sili frowned. "Where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going back to my room to sleep. I can't exactly sleep here, can I?" Lu Chiyan said, a slight smile playing on his lips. "After all, we're just brothers, it's not appropriate for us to sleep in the same bed, is it?"
Qin Sili: "..."

Lu Chiyan went to rest in the second bedroom next to the master bedroom.
This is a villa in Qing City. He has been living in the master bedroom ever since he moved in. Whenever Qin Sili comes, he naturally stays in the master bedroom with him. He has never even been to the second bedroom.
Upon entering the second bedroom, Lu Chiyan once again felt the power of the system.
Previously, he and Qin Sili lived together in the master bedroom, and his personal belongings, clothes, and accessories were naturally kept in the master bedroom. But now all his belongings have appeared neatly in the second bedroom, as if he had always lived in the second bedroom.
You know what, this system not only changed the settings, but also paid quite a bit of attention to detail.
Lu Chiyan lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling as he began to contemplate life.
He cannot be led by the nose by the system; he must find a way out of this dead end on his own.
Since this was a system-altered setting that made him and Qin Sili have a love-hate relationship, he decided not to follow that setting.
He only wanted to be good brothers with Qin Sili!
With such brotherly affection and respect, Qin Sili surely had no reason to find fault with him, right?
In that case, he'd like to see how the system would further reward him with the "depression + wrist-cutting package."
As long as he avoids following this predetermined path, he has a chance to break free from the system's control.

Lu Chiyan closed his eyes and dozed off for a while, then his phone rang.
It was Pei Zeyan.
"Hello?" Lu Chiyan answered weakly.
"What's wrong with your voice? Didn't you say you were fine? I just went to see you in the hospital, and the doctor said you'd already been discharged." Pei Zeyan asked with concern, "How are you? Such a serious car accident, are you really alright?"
"Yeah, you're lucky to be alive." Lu Chiyan sat up and asked curiously, "Why are you still in Qing City? Didn't you go back to Heng City to film?"
"I did go back. I made a special trip back to see you after your car accident, after coordinating with the director," Pei Zeyan. "Who knew you'd be discharged so soon? I made a wasted trip."
"Are you sure you've come back to see me?" Lu Chiyan with a doubtful look.
"Of course I came back specifically to see you! We're like brothers, how could you doubt my feelings for you!"
"Don't talk to me like I'm my own brother!" Lu Chiyan, exasperated. "I'm allergic to the word 'brother' now."
"Have you eaten?" Lu Chiyan checked the time and Pei Zeyan, "Let's have dinner together later. I'll invite Wen Zhao too."
"Why did you call him..." Pei Zeyan muttered under his breath, "Who wants to eat with him..."
"Okay, then I won't invite him, it'll just be the two of us eating."
As soon as Lu Chiyan finished speaking, Pei Zeyan, "No, you should still... you should still call her that... you two are in the same production crew after all, you need to cultivate your relationship, right... I'm thinking of you..."
"Oh. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chiyan tidied up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, he saw Qin Sili in the living room on the first floor, but he didn't intend to pay attention to Qin Sili, so he ignored him and walked towards the door.
Qin Sili probably hadn't expected Lu Chiyan to be so cold and distant towards him, a stark contrast to his previous behavior, and for a moment he felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Just a second before Lu Chiyan was about to leave, Qin Sili Lu Chiyan called out to him, "Going out?"
Lu Chiyan turned around and smiled slightly at Qin Sili: "Yeah, go out and find a boyfriend!"
