Chapter 7
Zhou Guang’s lips curled up. His eyes were filled with true softness that only appeared when he saw Bai Lin.
Bai Lin made two dishes and a soup. She did not usually cook but she cooked well. Zhou Guang picked out the fish bones for Bai Lin as he asked, “How’s Granny?”
“I’ll bring her over after things here have settled down.”
As they chatted at the table, Bai Lin casually asked, “San-ge, who’s your friend who owns the ice-skating rink? Do I know him?”
“You haven’t met him before. His name’s Yan Ruo.”
Bai Lin felt that the name was familiar. A vague thin figure appeared in her mind, but when she tried to get a clearer look, the silhouette dissipated like a wisp of smoke.
Since Bai Lin could not recall it, she did not bother to think about it. Zhou Guang saw her being deep in thoughts, so he did not mention the person’s ident.i.ty either.
He was the youngest award-winning best actor in the country, Hua, and a top household name. Anyone who paid just the littlest attention to the entertainment industry would know him.
It was just Bai Lin who was not interested in these things. The only thing she paid attention to in the entertainment industry was Zhou Guang.
Zhou Guang thought he would keep it this way.
It was rare for him to get to spend time with his younger sister, and he did not want her mind to be filled with other men.
“The Brave Traveler” held a livestreaming promotional event at two in the afternoon, a last-minute addition that was a Zhou Guang special event.
It was mainly a Q&A session. The show’s official Weibo account published the time of the promotional meeting on the day they went viral twice, and Zhou Guang’s fans had been waiting for it.
As soon as the livestream began, the number of viewers in the livestream channel exceeded 100,000, and it was still increasing.
[The photos are fake, right? Definitely, right?]
[Wuwuwu, Zhou Guang-gege, may I ask if you really have a girlfriend? Don’t!]
[Our Zhou-ge has been focusing on his career for eight years. News about him having a girlfriend must definitely be fake! I’m also promoting my Zhou-ge’s new song, ‘Toward the Light’ here. It’s about being saved and healed by his younger sister and it’s as moving as ever!]
Zhou Guang looked at the camera with a smile and answered the two most crucial questions first. “The photos are real.”
The livestream was filled with wails.
“But we’re not in a relationship like what the rumors on the internet say. We’ve known each other since we were young, but we haven’t seen each other in a long time.”
Zhou Guang took out his phone and pulled up a photo of the two of them when they were kids.
It showed two fair, adorable kids wearing old red cotton jackets as they squatted in front of the cottage in the village together.
The little boy smiled brightly holding the little girl’s hand. The little girl was much thinner than him and her gaze was cold. Although she was only a child, she looked fierce.
The next photo was captured in action. The little boy mischievously tickled the little girl on her armpits and the little girl could not help but laugh. It was only then visible that one of her front teeth was missing.
[Hahaha! This little girl is so cool. My Zhou-ge looks like a husky next to her.]
[I’m dying of laughter. This is what Zhou-ge was like when he was a kid? Is this really something I can see for free?]
[Where is this place? It’s so rundown.]
“She’s very important to me,” Zhou Guang said gently as he looked at the photo.
Zhou Guang did not need any beautifying filters in his livestream, so any subtle emotion was captured since his face was not distorted or blurred.
He smiled at last, his shiny eyes curving into crescents. “Really important.”
The comments section froze for a few seconds before it refreshed in an explosive speed.
[I’m so jealous. My Zhou-ge is so soft. I wanna be his younger sister right now.]
[My Zhou-ge’s sister is my sister!]
[Hilarious. Just openly admit that they’re childhood sweethearts. Who’d believe that they aren’t dating? Do you really think we fans are fools just because you call each other brother and sister?]
[Yo, can you not be so hostile up there? Must a male celebrity be dating being together with a female? Can’t you open up a little?]
[I’m also a fan of Zhou Guang but I have to say that your younger sister is really too much. Is there anyone who hasn’t seen Bai Xi’s chat history?]
When the supermoderator saw this comment, he frowned and reminded: [Please don’t mention anything unrelated to the current topic in the livestream channel.]
However, there were also many people who saw the message. They left the livestreaming channel and went to Weibo to search for said chat record.
