*Thunderclap*

Jiang Jiujiu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was completely stunned and parting her quivering lips, unable to believe what she had just heard.
‘How can my adorable and perfect Xiang Yi possibly fall in love with that dog-like man, s.h.i.+ Sui!?!’

Jiang Jiujiu raised her hand and tested the temperature of Xiang Yi’s forehead before muttering to herself.

“How…how come it isn’t warm at all…”
“…”
Xiang Yi was caught between tears and laughter. “I’mnot running a fever.”
“No, you have a fever!” Jiang Jiujiu said with certainty. “Sit still and be good while I go get a thermometer to take your temperature!”
She pinned Xiang Yi to the bed forcefully. After taking a few steps away, she realized that she had appeared a little overly concerned.

She added coquettishly, “Don’t be mistaken, I’m just scared that you might pa.s.s your fever to me! Hmph!!”

…
…
A few minutes later…
Jiang Jiujiu looked at the number on the thermometer which read 36.8 degrees before finally accepting reality.

‘Xiang Yi isn’t running a fever = Xiang Yi is sober and capable of thinking rationally = The dog-like man has s.n.a.t.c.hed Xiang Yi away!’

‘Ahhhh!!!’
‘Is he worthy?’
‘He’s not!’
Having expected better, Jiang Jiujiu asked, “What do you see in him? He’s just… good looking, isn’t he? He’s just… successful in his career, isn’t he? He’s just…” She was suddenly at a loss for words because she had just listed out all of s.h.i.+ Sui’s positive attributes. Feeling embarra.s.sed and angry, “Xiang Yi, wake up, are you such a superficial person!?! You’ve met all sorts of handsome men, must you be attracted to him?”
Xiang Yi bit her lower lip and reflected on herself for a few seconds before saying, “I think, I do.”
Jiang Jiujiu was speechless.
Xiang Yi said, “He has quite a good figure. He has abs.”

Jiang Jiujiu was speechless.
‘So you’re not only after his face, you’re l.u.s.ting after his body too!’

…
…
Jiang Jiujiu was so furious that she didn’t sleep well all night, and couldn’t get up early in the morning. She was grumbling incessantly and refusing to get out of bed.
Xiang Yi tucked her under the duvet and went out for a morning workout. When she returned, she flowered the plants and sprayed them with some revitalizing agents.
“Xiang Yi! Xiang Yi!!!” Fu Jiayan was like a monkey at the moment as he didn’t comb his hair or even was his face. He charged straight out with his phone in hand and exclaimed excitedly, “I’ve gone viral!!”
Overnight, something else unexpected in the entertainment industry happened in addition to Xiang Yi’s trio ensemble gaining popularity.
That was, Fu Jiayan had become famous.
He was caught off guard by his newly found fame but it wasn’t unreasonable for him to be famous either.
He was a popular A-lister to begin with and had merely been on a hiatus for a long time. All along, he had also been shackled to the persona of the Crown Prince character that he played. He didn’t expect the segment of his interaction with Xiang Yi during the live-stream to go on the hot search list, propelling him to fame immediately.
His manager received a ton of offers for Fu Jiayan to take on roles in numerous drama series and films, as well as… crosstalk shows, comedy variety shows, and other stand-up comedy shows.

He was so excited that he began spluttering incoherently. Fortunately, Xiang Yi was patient enough. After hearing his words, she grinned and said, “Congratulations, you’ve gotten what you wanted. Are there any variety shows that you want to be on?”
Fu Jiayan clenched his fist and said with a solemn expression, “Actually, I’d like to go on variety shows but I think Jiang Jiujiu is right. Acting in one drama series will garner fans that like me for one character that I played. If I act in ten drama series or films, my fans will probably like me for ten roles that I played! As an actor, acting well and performing to my best abilities is considered being responsible to my fans.”
When young men are self-a.s.sured, they would look extremely confident and eye-catching even if they look unkempt.
However, less than three seconds after being suave, he said with a silly smile, “Xiang Yi, let’s hug each other, here’s to our half-sibling relations.h.i.+p!”

A dangerous gaze was locked onto him from behind.
