My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 44

He didn't even dare tell his mother about it. She'd call him delusional.

But... what if?

As far as he knew, Wen Xiuyan had never dated anyone. As long as he could get close to him, everyone else—including this useless younger brother—was nothing more than background noise.

Wen Junrong watched Zhou Yuwen's face twist like he'd suffered some massive humiliation and felt thoroughly unimpressed. He clicked his tongue, not bothering to waste any more time and turned to leave.

He needed to find a chance to snitch on Wen Chuan to his brother later. Seriously, that guy brought just anyone into the old mansion. Like he didn't see the way that guy was literally wearing his intentions on his face.

People might think Wen Junrong was a bit slow, but he wasn't actually dumb. He could definitely tell that guy looked down on him.

A boyfriend of that playboy Wen Chuan had the nerve to act superior to him? What a joke.

Wen Junrong decided he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it. Huffing and puffing, he finally made his way to where his brother was—

Wait a second. His brother wasn't alone.

From his angle, he could only see the guest's back, but he had a perfect view of his brother's face.

And—holy crap.

His brother was actually smiling at the guy.

Wen Junrong sucked in a sharp breath, curiosity going through the roof. He sneakily hid behind a pavilion, stretching his ears to eavesdrop on the gossip.

A few moments later, both Wen Xiuyan and Jiang Yiqing stopped talking and turned to look in his direction.

They exchanged a glance—neither said a word, but with perfect synchronization, they started walking toward him.

Wen Junrong, having heard nothing for a while, finally couldn't help but peek out—

Only to get scared half to death by his brother standing right there.

He almost fell straight on his butt, barely managing to grab onto a pillar. Clutching his chest, he whined, "Brother, you scared the hell out of me!"

Wen Xiuyan eyed his brother. "I was wondering if the old mansion had been empty so long that a thief had broken in."

Wen Junrong immediately picked up on the insult. His brother was calling him a thief.

Before he could argue, he heard someone chuckle beside him. That made him even angrier.

Who was that? Who dared to laugh at him, Second Young Master Wen, to his face?!

He whipped his head around—

And froze.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wasn't this... his idol?!

Jiang Yiqing smiled. "Second Young Master Wen is just as lively as he is on livestreams."

"Master Jiang?!" Wen Junrong was shook. For a second, he thought he was hallucinating.

So his brother's guest was Jiang Yiqing?!

That sneaky bastard! His brother knew how much he admired Jiang Yiqing, and he didn't tell him?!

Wen Junrong glanced down at the random hoodie he'd thrown on, then looked at his brother—dressed to the nines like he was about to attend a banquet.

...Damn. His brother was playing dirty.

"My younger brother is a bit reckless. I hope you don't mind, Yiqing." Wen Xiuyan sighed, looking slightly resigned.

Jiang Yiqing chuckled at the remark. "Not at all, I actually think he's pretty interesting."

There was a certain kind of pure, college-student-level stupidity about him. Of course, Jiang Yiqing kept that thought to himself, but his smile widened unconsciously.

Being called "interesting" by his idol made Wen Junrong's eyes light up. Since he was Wen Xiuyan's biological younger brother, his looks were naturally top-tier as well. In that moment, he looked just like an oversized golden retriever.

Wen Xiuyan glanced at his younger brother, who remained blissfully unaware and was still basking in the joy of being praised by his idol. Then, summoning all his courage, Wen Junrong asked to add Jiang Yiqing's contact.

Jiang Yiqing truly found him amusing, so he didn't refuse and readily exchanged numbers with him.

Wen Xiuyan stayed silent, but for some reason, watching his younger brother lean in toward Jiang Yiqing made him feel increasingly annoyed.

Meanwhile, Wen Junrong was still grumbling, "Idol, you have no idea how stingy my brother is. I asked him for your contact before, and he refused to give it to me!"

Wen Xiuyan, finally losing patience, "...You seem to be talking a lot today."

Wen Junrong had no idea where he got the guts from, but he blurted out, "See, Idol? I told you! He's threatening me again!"

Jiang Yiqing cleared his throat and, trying to smooth things over, blatantly lied with a straight face, "Your brother... probably didn't mean it that way."

"Tch, I don't believe that." Wen Junrong muttered under his breath.

Jiang Yiqing: "..." Dear little brother, could you dial it down a notch? I think your brother is actually considering punching you.

He shot Wen Xiuyan a helpless smile. Wen Xiuyan paused for a moment, then decided to temporarily let his foolish younger brother off the hook.

"The main hall is set for a banquet. Would you like to join us, Yiqing?" Wen Xiuyan invited.

Jiang Yiqing instinctively wanted to refuse. "I heard today is a family dinner, so I'd better not."

"What family dinner? Wen Chuan literally brought his boyfriend along." Wen Junrong scoffed. "Besides, Idol, you're way more qualified to be here than him."

Wen Xiuyan's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "To be honest, the old mansion has been making strange noises at night. I was hoping you could stay and take a look."

Jiang Yiqing's eyes lit up immediately. "Perfect! I was starting to feel bad about taking the money for nothing. I'll stay the night, then."

Wen Xiuyan, who had been planning to offer extra payment: "..."

Never mind. It seemed Yiqing wasn't the type to care about material things.

If Jiang Yiqing knew what he was thinking, he'd definitely go speechless and clarify: No, I'm absolutely a materialistic person—I love money!

Either way, Jiang Yiqing was now committed to staying the night.

He took another walk around the mansion, scanning carefully for anything out of the ordinary. But he didn't spot anything particularly strange—nothing that suggested a supernatural presence. "Guess I'll have to check again at night."

"No rush," Wen Xiuyan said. "Lunch is already prepared in the kitchen. Let's eat first."

Jiang Yiqing, feeling his stomach growl, nodded.
