“We’re here.”
Han Shuai stopped in front of a room door labeled “Qin Mu’s Dressing Room,” interrupting the conversation between the person and the system.
Qin Yiyang noticed something off and said with a smile, “My brother is amazing. As a trainee, he actually has his own private dressing room.”
What a country bumpkin, Han Shuai sneered inwardly.
His face also took on a hint of arrogance. “This was arranged by Brother Zhaonan. He takes special care of us brothers and prepared individual dressing rooms for everyone.”
Shen Zhaonan was Shen Yan’s wealthy second brother.
At this moment, Han Shuai had already raised his phone and opened the dressing room door.
What greeted their eyes was a mess of clothes scattered all over the floor.
Among them, a pair of red stiletto heels and fishnet stockings were particularly eye-catching.
The dressing room was shaped like an “L,” so the interior scene couldn’t be seen from the entrance.
But the chaotic mess of clothes on the floor left plenty to the imagination.
The live chat exploded instantly.
—【What’s going on? Did I enter the wrong livestream?】
—【Messing around with sister-in-law in the dressing room? Does Qin Mu have no shame toward the fans who voted for him?!】
—【He’s really pushing his luck! Are fans just part of their play? I’ll puke first to show my respect!】
—【Collapsing before even officially debuting? Qin Mu should withdraw from the competition immediately!】
Han Shuai muttered softly, “How could Xiao Mu bring someone here?”
Then, as if realizing he had let something slip, he quickly covered his mouth.
A seamless combo, executed flawlessly.
—【Does Xiao Han know something?】
—【Qin Mu is disgusting! He should just leave the group!】
—【Am I the only one who thinks Han Shuai’s behavior seems a bit fake?】
—【Fake your mom! Your mom is the fakest! What are you barking about, you dead wooden stick? Don’t try to shift the focus. If you dare mess with your daddy Han Shuai, you’re asking for trouble. Stop riding his coattails! Even if you ride them bald, Qin Mu only deserves to drink Han Shuai’s foot-washing water!】
Han Shuai was popular among the top-tier trainees and had hired professional fans to manage his fandom since the beginning of the competition.
When encountering someone more popular than him, his fans strategically promoted CP pairings.
When encountering someone less popular, his fans constantly picked fights to strengthen their own fanbase.
In real life, such hooligan-like remarks were praised by Han Shuai’s fans as, “Sis, you said it so well, your values are so righteous, you spoke for me.”
At this moment, Han Shuai himself put on an innocent, white-lotus expression, pursing his lips and saying, “Your brother might not be very convenient right now. Maybe we shouldn’t go in…”
But Qin Yiyang shook her head. “Since we’re already here.”
Han Shuai was slightly taken aback as the livestreaming phone was taken by Qin Yiyang, who walked into the room.
The camera captured the scene inside:
In the corner of the room stood a small bed. Qin Mu lay with his eyes tightly closed, his long eyelashes casting shadows under his eyelids, adding a touch of innocence to his handsome and aloof features.
Beside the small bed stood a young woman.
The woman had her back to the door and was frantically taking off her clothes, her movements revealing a sense of panic and urgency.
But no matter how many layers she removed, there always seemed to be another underneath, as if the clothes were endless.
—【Wow, how many layers of clothes is she wearing?】
—【This is making me dizzy!】
On the floor were over a dozen identical pieces of clothing, like a scene from a horror loop movie.
The woman was terrified, a chill creeping up her spine inch by inch.
Without even bothering to complete her task, she hurriedly hid on the bed, clinging to the arm of the only human in the room—Qin Mu.
The audience couldn’t see the woman’s terrified expression, only witnessing her anxiously removing her clothes before hurriedly climbing onto Qin Mu’s bed.
From start to finish, Qin Mu didn’t move a muscle.
The live chat sensed something was off.
—【This doesn’t seem like a sister-in-law, more like a scammer.】
—【+1, Qin Mu is sleeping like a dead man. If you told me this was a murder scene, I’d believe it!】
—【Could this be the legendary honey trap?】
Seeing this, Han Shuai’s eyelids twitched violently.
But Qin Yiyang remained completely calm.
Before entering the room, she had altered the original text, changing “the woman removed her last piece of clothing” to “the woman removed her last hundred million pieces of clothing.”
She could never finish undressing—it was simply impossible!
At the same time, she turned the camera toward Han Shuai’s face and asked curiously, “You look awful. Are you disappointed because your plan didn’t work out?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Han Shuai’s expression stiffened, cracks appearing in his usually amiable face.
“No? I thought your earlier passive-aggressive remarks meant you had a grudge against my brother and were trying to manipulate the audience into hating him.” Qin Yiyang tilted her head. “But if you truly cared about him, shouldn’t you be relieved now that nothing happened? Why do you look so grim?”
“You’re mistaken, I’m not!” Han Shuai protested.
Fans in the live chat rushed to defend him.
The livestream grew even more lively, with viewership numbers climbing steadily.
Meanwhile, upon seeing the camera, the woman realized the scheme had been exposed and tried to flee.
Having spent her childhood outsmarting pigs, Qin Yiyang had long honed her quick reflexes.
She blocked the woman’s path. “Who sent you to frame my brother? If you tell the truth, I might let you go.”
Covering her face, the woman pointed in Han Shuai’s direction. “It was him! He paid me two thousand yuan to pretend to be a staff member and bring water to Qin Mu. The water was laced with sleeping pills. He told me to wait until Qin Mu fell asleep, then strip and lie next to him!”
The live chat erupted!
—【Han Shuai is so evil!】
—【What a drama-filled idol group rivalry! Even more thrilling than their stage performances!】
—【No wonder Qin Mu didn’t wake up despite all the commotion—he was drugged!】
—【Bitch! Don’t you dare slander your Han Daddy! Go to hell! Netizens, keep an eye on your mothers! Don’t you know not to judge without knowing the full story? Did you leave your brains in school? If I ever see you in real life, I’ll skin you alive!】
—【？？This username looks familiar. Report to the teacher’s office immediately. Who gave you permission to bring a phone to school? It seems I need to have a word with your parents.】
—【Hahaha, instant karma! Getting caught by your teacher while trash-talking online!】
Meanwhile, the woman dashed out of the room.
Han Shuai’s expression darkened. Staring at the phone pointed at him, his face turned terrifyingly grim as he reached out to snatch it back.
Just then, Father Qin and Qin’s Mom arrived.
Thinking Han Shuai was trying to bully his precious daughter, Father Qin kicked him squarely in the chest, sending him crashing into the wall.
Back in his university days, Father Qin was famously handsome. Over the years, his scholarly aura had only deepened.
Thanks to his habit of morning runs and minimal social drinking, he had maintained his physique well, avoiding the middle-aged spread common among men his age. Even standing before Han Shuai, who was twenty years younger, he won effortlessly.
Qin Yiyang was stunned.
【Oh my god! My dad is actually this handsome?!】
【I used to think he was a research lab chicken, but turns out he’s a research T-Rex!】
【I heard back in the day, many wealthy heiresses in Haicheng fought over my dad, to the point where those rich young masters were so jealous they went into a dark spiral, spreading rumors everywhere that my dad was a pretty boy!】
【So what if he’s a pretty boy? My mom’s in charge of earning money to support the family, and my dad’s in charge of being gorgeous—what a perfect match!】
Father Qin, who overheard these thoughts: “…” That should be a compliment, right?
At the same time, the livestream exploded.
—【OMG! Where did this handsome uncle come from!】
