"Have you decided which dress to choose for your birthday party?" Since there are no girls in the family, this kind of question is usually left to Ji Wangyan.
"Please help me choose, Third Brother, thank you." Xie Zhuzhou was unaware of the current trends in men's formal attire for banquets.
"I'll pick a few, and you can choose the one you like." Ji Wangyan her second brother wasn't here, otherwise that guy would definitely cause trouble and insist that Xie Zhuzhou be the most stylish person at the banquet. If the design was too exaggerated, it wouldn't be good. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
"Grandpa will definitely call the Chu Family then, so be careful." Ji Wangyan was worried that she might forget to mention it, so she gave Xie Zhuzhou a heads-up in advance.
Xie Zhuzhou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Ji Wangyan gave him a deep look. "... I mean, I'm telling you to tone it down."
Xie Zhuzhou looked innocent. "It's always others who provoke me. They walk right into my trap. You can't blame me." Anyway, he was innocent. What bad guy would admit he was wrong? Besides, even if he was wrong, he would never change his ways.
Ji Wangchen, the eldest brother, remained calm as always. "As long as no one is killed, appropriate retaliation is acceptable. There's no need to swallow your anger. Your presence is the greatest respect you can give the old man."
"Brother, you're a good person." Xie Zhuzhou commented objectively.
"Oh."
Ji Wuqiu didn't think his youngest son was wrong. In fact, he felt that his son had to endure so much gossip because he was too useless. His youngest son was the most filial, and he would think of him first and entrust everything to him.
Although Xie Zhuzhou seemed to disrespect everyone, he never talked back to Ji Wuqiu. This was the first time Ji Wuqiu had ever experienced such a normal and harmonious father-son relationship with his youngest son.
As for the things his other sons did during their rebellious phase, Ji Wuqiu didn't even want to think about them; it would only make him feel dizzy.
Ji Wangchen seemed the most composed, but actually looked down on his father. When he was in school, he asked Ji Wangchen for help with some physics problems, and Ji Wangchen hesitated for only a few seconds before thinking that his father was useless! He even enrolled Ji Wangchen in a class.
And then there's Ji Wangyun, who caused a lot of trouble when he was in school. His classmates were completely fooled by him but couldn't catch him red-handed. Even the principal couldn't do anything about him. I heard that the principal's New Year's wish after getting drunk one time was that the universe would explode, otherwise his head would explode because of Ji Wangyun.
As for Ji Wangyan, he wasn't rebellious, but he would occasionally dress up as a woman and scare his father to death. Fortunately, apart from him and his son, no one else knew.
Ji Wangyan has grown taller and now has a younger brother, so he hasn't had a tantrum in a long time. Ji Wuqiu is very pleased.

Xie Zhuzhou had no classes today, so he dressed very lightly. In winter, when everyone is bundled up like a dumpling, he had Internal Energy to keep warm. By focusing his mind on his dantian, he gradually felt warmth in his lower abdomen, which then spread to his limbs and even his whole body, thus resisting the cold.
He only thought of this method today!
With his expensive coat keeping him warm, Xie Zhuzhou arrived at the production crew feeling completely relaxed. There was only a little over a week left before filming ended; time really flies!
Yesterday, I learned from Li Yankai that I had been exposed at school. Although I felt a momentary embarrassment, fortunately, Chu Yanzhang doesn't go online and is unaware of his glorious deeds.
But what if Chu Yanzhang can see again after his eyes recover? Will he think he's a bad person and not worth getting to know?
After much deliberation, Xie Zhuzhou decided to think about this issue again next year.
" Little Xie, you're here." Zhang Yin was wearing gold-rimmed glasses today and a light-colored sweater indoors, looking quite refined.
Xie Zhuzhou nodded.
The final week is the most crucial, as the guests will choose their final partner. If both parties vote for each other, they will successfully pair up.
The production team originally consisted of eight people, then nine, and now ten, which is exactly an even number.
However, it didn't matter whether it was an even number or an odd number; Xie Zhuzhou decided to abstain from voting. Over the past few days, all he could tell was who was who, and that was it.
Xie Zhuzhou thought so, but someone had already set their sights on him and invited him to speak alone.
First, there's Zhang Yin, one of the root of all evil, who invited him to chat in the small greenhouse he built on the rooftop.
Xie Zhuzhou wanted to refuse, but the way the director, wearing a little red hat, was giving him meaningful glances was so funny that he almost lost his composure. He couldn't let his hard-earned image crumble, or what would become of his authority?!
So he had no choice but to go upstairs with Zhang Yin and sit down to hear what he wanted to talk about.
Let's also test whether Chu Wenwen's informants are omnipresent.
Xie Zhuzhou followed him into the greenhouse, found a place to sit down. The small room had glass on all four sides, and they could see the snowflakes falling outside.
There's a diamond-shaped heater under the table in the middle of the greenhouse, which serves as a support for the table and looks very high-end and expensive.
There was tea, snacks, and even a camera on the table.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." You can escape the live broadcast, but you definitely can't escape the recorded broadcast.
"I've been here for two months, and I haven't had a proper talk with you yet. I almost never see you around here. I feel like if I don't say something today, I might never see you again in the martial world."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." He remembered that his birthday party was not long after the romance show, and Zhang Yin was on the guest list.
In the dating reality show, only Wang Zhengxiao knew his identity. As for Zhang Yin, he knew very little about her; he couldn't be certain of her identity simply by recognizing her as his older brother's assistant's car.
"Say what?"
"I want to get to know you. After all, you're a guest on a dating reality show, and who would want to miss out on someone who might be very outstanding?"
" Elder Zhang is also a very outstanding person; there must be someone who doesn't want to miss out on you."
"Maybe so, but there are also people I don't want to miss out on."
"Oh."
Zhang Yin: "..." Isn't this guy curious?
The atmosphere became awkward for the first time. Xie Zhuzhou knew that he had a sharp tongue, was unlucky, and was a contrarian who couldn't help but want to argue with people.
He restrained himself slightly, his eyes hoping Zhang Yin would speak to herself.
"May I ask what you usually like to do?"
It had been almost two months Zhang Yin managed to catch someone to ask. Of course, he couldn't overstep the mark, since Xie Zhuzhou wasn't the type to give him face. So he could only try his best to save face for himself.
Xie Zhuzhou thought for a moment and answered selectively, "There's nothing I like to do, only things I have to do, like teaching and recording shows." After explaining himself, he launched into a counter-question, " Elder Zhang, what about you? What do you like to do?"
Looking at Xie Zhuzhou's indifferent face, Zhang Yin pondered, "I like watching movies, reading books, listening to music, and also focusing on health."
"That's good. So what kind of books do you like to read?" Xie Zhuzhou asked again.
"Suspense genre..."
Next, Xie Zhuzhou would ask Zhang Yin questions without her noticing, while Zhang Yin remained oblivious, assuming that Xie Zhuzhou was interested in him.
Half an hour later, Xie Zhuzhou said he was going to the restroom and then disappeared.
Zhang Yin: "..." He didn't ask anything at all?!
