The Perfect Relationship

Chapter 74 Mysterious Guest

Yin Chang thought that Shao Junling just wanted to show off his progress in gaming skills, so he agreed, "Okay."

He opened the game and received a notification that Shao Junling had sent him a hero. When he clicked on it, a character with fox ears appeared on the screen. The hero jumped in mid-air, carrying a sniper rifle.

"What is this?" Yin Chang asked.

"Bai Li Keeps Promises," Shao Junling showed him his screen, which also had a cartoon character with long pointed ears like a cat, but smiling a little wickedly, "This one is called Bai Li Mysterious, Bai Li Keeps Promises's younger brother."

"Oh..." Yin Chang raised his brows and said meaningfully, "Brothers."

Shao Junling turned his head, looking a little embarrassed, "Quickly check him out, you'll play with him later."

Yin Chang browsed the hero's attributes. Wasn't this basically the dwarf sniper from Dota?

"Okay, I'm done, let's start," Yin Chang was best at playing long-range snipers.

Shao Junling invited him to team up, and this time there was no Xue Ziwen. Just the two of them.

Yin Chang was the shooter, going down the lane, while Shao Junling was the assassin, running through the jungle.

As soon as the game started, the two of them split up. When Shao Junling finished the Red area, he ran over to hide with Yin Chang in the grass on the lower lane.

Yin Chang thought, not bad, they both knew to hide in the brush.

The opponent was Mulan. Yin Chang asked, "Up?"

"Uh-huh," Shao Junling listened to Yin Chang's command and just slapped her with a whip.

Yin Chang only saw Shao Junling whip Mulan back and forth. His skills really had improved a lot. The Mulan couldn't beat him and wanted to run away. Yin Chang just reached level four, and his ultimate skill hit Mulan's head directly, taking first blood.

"The ideal life, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of younger brothers."

A voice said from the phone. Yin Chang was stunned.

Each hero in the game would say something whenever they released a skill. This sentence was the line for his character.

Shao Junling went to fight the tyrant, Yin Chang cleared his line of minions and went over to help him. At this point, Bai Li Keeps Promises said another line, "Mysterious, you are of age, no picky eating."

Yin Chang laughed, this hero was so fun.

He listened carefully to Shao Junling's hero's lines.

"I have a big brother, and you don't. That's why I'm capricious."

"Even if my brother doesn’t keep his promise, I can only choose to forgive him."

Yin Chang: "…"

This little bastard...he chose these two heroes on purpose! He was just finding ways to be cute with him, wasn't he?

Yin Chang became happy and focused on playing games with Shao Junling. He was able to momentarily forget all his worries.

They played for over an hour, and at bedtime, Yin Chang reluctantly put down his phone to take a shower and go to bed.

Shao Junling followed him into the bathroom and looked up, "Brother, shower..."

"?" Yin Chang looked at him in confusion, "Do you want me to help you wash?"

Shao Junling replied with an "um" sound and quickly lowered his eyes. He fidgeted in his slippers, looking like he had summoned up a lot of courage to make this request.

Yin Chang smiled. Ah, it was difficult to refuse a coquettish little demon like him, "Then come in."

While showering, Yin Chang found that Shao Junling had been stealing glances at him. He was acting a little suspicious.

After they finished showering and climbed into bed, Shao Junling snuggled up to him. His unusual behavior made Yin Chang feel curious.

Yin Chang looked at Shao Junling, coincidentally meeting his gaze. "Why are you staring at me?" Yin Chang blurted out.

"Brother..." Shao Junling burrowed into his arms and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling better now?"

Yin Chang was taken aback and then realized that Shao Junling might have known about the online attacks. Was he trying to comfort him?

Yin Chang felt both touched and heartbroken. "Did you see all those things online?"

Shao Junling honestly replied, "I saw a bit."

"...I'm sorry." Yin Chang sighed lightly.

"Why do you need to apologize?" Shao Junling asked with his childish voice.

Yin Chang forced a smile, "Those things you saw online, don't they make you uncomfortable?"

Shao Junling naturally thought of those words that people had used to attack him. He said sullenly, "They make me uncomfortable."

But what Yin Chang was really referring to was the impact on Shao Junling himself. He could choose to ignore the insults thrown at him, but seeing Shao Junling suffering because of him, Yin Chang could not remain indifferent.

In the past few days, Yin Chang had been reflecting a lot. He seemed to understand why Yin Dong did not allow him to enter the entertainment circle years ago.

Any remark that targeted Shao Junling felt like a blunt knife stabbing his heart. The sense of guilt was like a huge rock weighing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Two days ago, he tried to communicate with Yao Manhuai, expressing his inner unease, but Yao Manhuai told him not to worry and that she had arranged everything, and that it would get better soon.

Yao Manhuai's confident tone didn't dispel Yin Chang's doubts. He began to question if it was the correct decision to bring Shao Junling on the variety show or if it was right for him to pursue this career path.

Honestly, his perspective had undergone significant changes since his last birthday.

Initially, he had entered the entertainment industry because Yao Manhuai promised to always accompany him, which made him excited.

But now, he had Shao Junling.

Yin Chang had unknowingly begun to feel disillusioned with this circle and wanted to return to a peaceful life, doing things he truly wanted to do... like reading, exercising, and taking care of his younger brother.

However, he soon felt guilty for having these thoughts.

Yao Manhuai had already done so much for him, was giving up so easily too rash?

If he abandoned this path with so many fans supporting him, would they feel betrayed?

If he really left like this, wouldn't he bring shame to his father?

Therefore, the moment thoughts of running away appeared, Yin Chang extinguished them.

He was already on this path and until he achieved certain success, he absolutely could not allow himself to desert.

"I'm much better now," Yin Chang forced himself to sound strong, rubbing Shao Junling's head and copied Yao Manhuai's comforting tone, "Everything will be fine soon."

Shao Junling was unsure as he looked at him and gently hugged Yin Chang's arm.

Yin Chang handed over all the public relations affairs to Yao Manhuai and Lu Lingjuan and tried not to think about those things.

Fortunately, in just two days, they had to film the fourth episode of "Super Star Life".

The filming location for the fourth episode was in a water town in Jiangnan. As Yin Chang and Shao Junling had ranked first in the previous outdoor hiking competition, they had priority in selecting their rooms. They chose a villa, which was considered a local mansion.

Perhaps due to the fertile land and abundant resources, the local accommodation conditions were better than the previous episodes.

However, as soon as Yin Chang and Shao Junling arrived at the filming location, they noticed that there were two more cameramen following them.

Feeling curious, the host Old Luo explained to him: "After the last shoot, our post-production editor found that Shao Junling had very few shots, and suspected he was deliberately avoiding the camera... so this time we specifically added two more cameramen just for him."

Everyone: "..."

Old Luo coughed, "Junling, don't struggle unnecessarily, just accept the shooting."

Shao Junling: "............"

The mission of the program was still focused on the first two days. In the afternoon of the first day, they played "Hide and Seek" in the Tu Yao Village, the game they had used to trick Yin Chang into waiting in a cave previously.

The rules of the game were similar to what Yin Chang had been told last time. The elder siblings were taken to a designated location, the younger siblings had to find them based on the clues given, and the ranking was based on the time taken to find them. Different levels of dinner could be claimed, and the last parent to be found would be punished by the program team.

In addition, Old Luo also told everyone that they had invited a mysterious guest who would also participate in the game of hide and seek.

During the process of the little ones looking for their elder siblings, if they encountered this mysterious guest and answered his question correctly, he would directly take them to find their elder siblings - it was also a shortcut set by the program team.

"Huh, there's a mysterious guest too?" Huang Han exclaimed.

"Who is it, who is it?" Lang Chizhi asked.

"Old Luo said it's a mysterious guest, of course they won't tell us yet," Qin Jing Shan said.

"How can we tell if that person is the mysterious guest? What if our younger siblings don't know him?" Qin Jing Shan asked.

"Well, that's a good question! If you don't recognize him, you'll just miss out," Old Luo said.

Everyone was speechless.

Wang Chen also raised his hand, "What question will the mysterious guest ask?"

"That depends on his mood, but there's a passphrase I can tell the kids. If you recognize who he is or can match his passphrase, he can bring you directly to find your elder siblings," Old Luo said.

"What's the passphrase?" Guo Yiheng asked.

"Remember it well, I'll only say it once!" Old Luo said.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

Old Luo said: "When the mysterious guest says: 'Di Zhen High Ridge, a picturesque land for a thousand generations.' You have to say: 'The door faces the sea, with three rivers converging into it for ten thousand generations.'"

Everyone was speechless... so long!

The adults were already confused, let alone children, but after a few seconds, they suddenly realized something and all turned to look at Shao Junling... Had he memorized it?

Shao Junling was alert and took a step back, covering his mouth with his hand, indicating he wouldn't tell anyone.

Everyone: "..."

Afterwards, several little ones were blindfolded.

After their elder siblings and uncles hid, they each received a clue card.

The clue on Shao Junling's card was a riddle: "One plus one equals one Chinese character."

...Wang?

Shao Junling immediately understood that there was a "Wang's House" in this village. He had seen it when he and Yin Chang went to their lodging earlier.

When he ran out, the other children were still dazed… how could Shao Junling react so quickly!

Shao Junling played games with his brother and knew that his brother liked to bathe him, so he let him bathe him.

After all sorts of efforts, he finally managed to make his brother a little happier.

Ah, being a younger brother is really not easy.
