Chu Chen had anticipated this situation.
With his sister's picky eye, if he bought her just one bag, she would inevitably criticize it to death.
So buying a whole batch of bags was the bare minimum.
To give Chu Yu an even bigger surprise, Chu Chen had actually prepared something else.
Chu Chen glanced at the Hermès staff. "Have the rest come in too."
At those words, the atmosphere suddenly grew even more peculiar.
There was actually more??
Even the usually composed cameraman and production staff could not help looking toward the entrance in astonishment.
In less than half a minute, another group of staff appeared.
This time, each of them pushed a small cart displaying several exquisite accessories, bracelets, and backpacks.
Chu Chen stepped forward to introduce them. "These are gifts I prepared for the other sisters and brothers. We'll be filming together for almost two months, so of course I couldn't forget them when giving out gifts."
An Ya, who had thought none of this concerned her, froze on the spot.
It took her a long time to react before she hurriedly stood up. "This... these are too expensive. Little brother, we can't accept them."
Although An Ya came from a wealthy family, hers was nowhere near as rich and powerful as the Chu family. Seeing so many expensive pieces of jewelry and backpacks, her first thought was to politely decline.
Chu Chen walked over to a cart, picked up a backpack with a bear print, and brought it over. "Sister An Ya, I spent a long time choosing this schoolbag before settling on it. I know An Yu is still in school. At this stage, he could use exactly this sort of schoolbag. It suits him very well."
"And this bracelet-I specifically prepared three in the same design. Aren't matching sister accessories popular these days? It works out perfectly: one each for my sister and you two sisters."
As he spoke, Chu Chen placed the bracelets set with small diamonds into Wen Zhixin's and An Ya's hands.
Finally, Chu Chen picked up an automatic mechanical watch and handed it to Wen Tianqi. "This is the newly released classic model. It really suits someone your age. Don't stand on ceremony; just wear it for fun."
Of the six guests, everyone except Chu Chen himself received a gift, and each gift happened to suit its recipient perfectly.
They were both beautiful and practical, leaving no room to find fault.
For a moment, silence fell.
The production staff standing nearby were practically bug-eyed.
To make his sister happy with his gifts, he had gone straight to giving every guest a present. What kind of god-tier little brother was this!
A moment later, Chu Yu looked at Chu Chen with a rare expression of satisfaction. "You really did a pretty good job preparing this time."
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth curved up slightly, but he still could not resist running his mouth. "Are these bags enough? If not, I'll take you shopping for more."
By now, the livestream chat had completely exploded.
[Enough, enough, enough! Just give me any one of them and that'd be enough!!]
[Fuck! Gotta say, right now I really want to be Chu Yu's bestie!!]
[Aaaaaah, I'm dead. I want my soul to transmigrate into Chu Yu.]

Chapter 10: (Errors corrected)
The livestream's barrage numbers and popularity exploded.
The entire screen was covered in barrage comments, to the point that even the guests' faces were obscured.
Chu Yu shot the still-smug Chu Chen a speechless glance, not bothering to respond.
With their popularity exploding like this, within minutes, #Chu Yu's little brother gives every guest a gift# shot onto the trending searches.
This was the first trending topic since Sisters and Brothers Charge Ahead had begun livestreaming, but the buzz and exposure it brought could not be underestimated.
When the director saw the numbers, he slapped his thigh in excitement.
Inviting Chu Yu and her brother had really been the right call!
They had even saved on marketing and publicity costs.
Not long after he finished marveling, calls came pouring in from advertisers and investors, enthusiastically asking about investing in the later stages.
Meanwhile, marketing accounts also posted edited clips to ride the wave of attention.
The clip happened to show Chu Chen giving the other guests their presents, and quite a few fangirls emerged to comment.
[Boohoo, little brother Chu Chen is so handsome and polite. He's way better than his sister.]
[If possible, I hope little brother Chu Chen goes solo in the future so his sister's reputation won't drag him down.]
[Fam, do you see this? This is what having a broad outlook really means! He gave gifts to every guest, and each person's gift was specially selected. Let's see what you can say this time.]
The comments gradually shifted from simply praising Chu Chen's manners to praising his broad outlook.
The handmade cake from An Ya and her brother had also been made by both of them and ultimately presented as a gift to all the guests.
And Chu Chen's gifts had likewise taken everyone into consideration.
By comparison, Wen Tianqi's gift inevitably seemed a little petty.
The others still remembered their fellow guests when appearing on the show, while only the Wen siblings remained confined to their own little circle.
The Wen siblings' previously sterling reputation suddenly grew a little shaky.
Some discussed how their backgrounds had left them with such narrow horizons that they could not hold their own in polite company.
Others discussed how the Wen siblings were constrained by their family of origin, making it understandable that they had failed to consider the other guests this time.
At that moment, Wen Zhixin had her head lowered, clutching the bracelet Chu Chen had given her, her expression shifting between light and shadow.
Clearly, she did not think the same way as the other guests.
She believed Chu Chen had given her and her brother gifts purely to humiliate them on purpose.
He had decided they were poor, so he had given them these high-end luxury goods to slap them in the face.
Was he trying to warn them not to covet things that didn't belong to them?!
"Sis, look how exquisite this watch is." Wen Tianqi ran over happily to share his newly received watch with his sister.
