Shu Xian woke up groggily and seemed to see two people kissing at the foot of his bed.
Showing off their love here?
Damn lovebirds, I’ll fight you both.
Shu Xian rubbed his eyes again before seeing clearly that it was Li Wu and Fu Yichen staring each other down.
“Are you two trying to stare each other to death?” Shu Xian slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard.
“Brother’s awake. Hungry?”
Li Wu got up and helped him sit up.
He wanted to take good care of his brother and make it up to him.
“Shu Xian, feeling better? Any discomfort?”
Fu Yichen also came closer and sat beside the hospital bed.
“I’m fine. Everything’s good.”
“Why isn’t brother answering me?”
“I’m not ignoring you. I’m hungry. Go buy me something to eat.”
He had to build a good relationship with the male lead first, after all.
Shu Xian ruffled his hair. Li Wu was pretty much a little puppy when he wasn’t being fierce.
“Okay, I’ll buy brother something to eat.”
Li Wu glared at Fu Yichen unhappily.
Hmph.
Brother didn’t answer him first.
He had to make brother see this man’s true face.
“Is he your real little brother?”
Fu Yichen glanced at the retreating figure at the door and asked.
“Half-brother.”
Even though he wasn’t really a little brother, Shu Xian could only answer according to the plot.
In the original plot, it was only after Shu Xian died that everyone learned Li Wu had no blood relation to him.
Hehe, has Li Wu caught your attention?
Curiosity is the beginning of love.
“Hm, no wonder you don’t look alike.”
Since they were half-brothers, he wouldn’t go easy on him next time he tried to challenge him.
“Don’t let his fierce look fool you. He’s actually kind-hearted and very well-behaved.”
“Me too.”
Fu Yichen replied.
“Huh?”
…
If he hadn’t read the plot, he might have almost believed you.
You, kind-hearted indeed.
Shu Xian couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
“You don’t believe me?”
“Hehe, I believe, I believe.”
Shu Xian forced a fake smile.
“Brother, have breakfast.”
Li Wu bought several kinds of food and laid them out one by one in front of him.
“Thanks, little brother.”
Shu Xian’s appetite opened up, and he ate a bit of everything.
“You can leave. I’ll take care of brother here.”
Li Wu said to Fu Yichen.
“No, I’m going to take care of him until he’s discharged.”
Shu Xian’s little brother looked like he had bad intentions. He was even less comfortable leaving Shu Xian in his care.
What if he framed him for the family fortune?
No, he couldn’t agree to that. He had to protect his friend.
“You go back. How can a little brother like you take care of him? I’ll do it here.”
Fu Yichen crossed his arms and said disdainfully.
“You’re the little brother!”
“My birthday is next week, and I’ll be nineteen. Brother, don’t listen to him.”
Li Wu was furious. Since he had struck first, he shouldn’t blame him for being rude.
“What can a clumsy, rough-handed older man like you do?”
“Do you know how much nutrition the human body needs every day?”
“Do you know what brother likes to eat and what he doesn’t?”
“You don’t know anything!”
“And you want to take care of brother? How would you even manage?”
Fu Yichen was momentarily rendered speechless.
Fine.
Fine, fine, fine.
Keep fighting like this. Start as little rivals.
Hahaha.
Shu Xian watched the two of them with an auntie-like smile.
The two sat on opposite sides, each fuming.
Shu Xian smiled kindly, grabbed their hands one in each of his, and pressed them together.
“Come on, don’t be mad. I’ll be discharged after one more day.”
“You’re both doing this for my sake, so don’t argue.”
“Here, hold hands and go buy me some snacks.”
“You have to hold hands, okay? Good friends should love each other.”
They both grunted in agreement but didn’t let go, unwilling to admit defeat.
Each was waiting for the other to let go first.
“Go on. Go slow, come back slow.”
The moment they stepped out of the hospital room door, they both let go at the same time.
“I’m warning you, brother is not someone you can covet.”
“Hah, that’s not for a half-brother to decide.”
Half-brother, huh.
This life’s Li Wu knew better than anyone that he had no blood relation to Shu Xian.
Shu Xian’s parents had said that to protect him.
“Hah, then his partner will never be you.”
In the past life, you were the one who killed him.
Li Wu looked at him, a sarcastic smile on his face.
A murderer falling in love with the person he killed. Interesting.
“Want to try?”
Fu Yichen was extremely annoyed.
This half-brother was really hard to deal with.
He didn’t believe he would be unconditionally good to a half-brother.
There had to be something in it for him.
He would protect his brother.
“Go ahead and try.”
Li Wu met his gaze without fear.
This would give him a reason to kill him.
“You’re back?”
The two walked in with two bags of snacks each, their faces stern.
It seemed they hadn’t talked well.
…
『006, any ideas?』
Shu Xian popped a small cream puff into his mouth while thinking about how to make their feelings grow.
『Host, I think we could have Jian Fang come and stir things up, make them compete over each other.』
Hm! That actually makes sense.
In the original plot, they vied for affection and ended up getting along better.
『Not bad, not bad. 006, you’re getting smarter.』
『But compared to me, you’re still a bit behind. Don’t get complacent; keep it up.』
Shu Xian was roasting the system as usual.
『Hehe, okay, Host. I’ll work hard to learn from you.』
006 knew it had bonded with the right person. Its host’s words were so pleasant.
It was the most talented one among all the people it had bonded with.
Shu Xian opened his notes and found Jian Fang’s number.
Jian Fang’s WeChat was in an envelope inside the merchandise he had sent that day.
Shu Xian had written down the number but hadn’t added him as a friend yet, saving it for when needed.
And now it came in handy~
『The great Host is so smart.』
『See? This is what you call professionalism.』
006 felt it had learned something again!
Shu Xian added him as a friend, typing the two words “haunted house” in the add request.
Jian Fang should be able to figure out it was him.
Ding.
The friend request was just sent when he got a notification that the add was successful.
The big star seemed pretty free.
Shu Xian: Hello.
Shu Xian attached a greeting emoji.
Jian Fang: Why did it take you so long to add me?
Jian Fang was a little unhappy. He was a big star; how many people wanted his contact info?
This little fan hadn’t added him right away and had made him wait so long.
He had been waiting by WeChat for days. This little fan sure had a lot of nerve.
Shu Xian: Sorry, I broke my leg and I’m in the hospital.
Ah, damn it. He actually questioned his little fan!
Jian Fang: Sorry, is it serious?
Shu Xian: No, no, not serious. I have a cast on.
Jian Fang checked his schedule for the day. Fortunately, he didn’t have many events to attend.
He could spare some time to visit his little fan at the hospital.
His little fan would probably be moved to tears seeing him, right?
Jian Fang: Which hospital? Can I come see you?
Shu Xian smiled at his reply.
That would be perfect.
Shu Xian sent him his location and started thinking about how to create some time for the three of them to be together.
