When Xiang Di had just gotten home, Xiang Sheng had also just woken up.

The young man had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes and a bird’s-nest of messy hair. His pajama pants were hanging loose, and the seam down the middle of the pants was stuck right into his butt crack. He stood in the living room, yawning, one hand scratching his head, the other hand reaching into the back of his pants, pulling out the fabric that was wedged into his crack.

What the hell is this, seeing something so eye-burning the moment she gets home—Xiang Di’s vision went black on the spot.

They’re both men, so why is the gap this huge.

One of them looks handsome even just wearing a safety helmet.

The other actually uses the hand he eats with to scratch his butt.

Thinking about how this damn brother usually maintains such a perfect persona online, and at school too—claimed to be the male god of the Institute of Technology, someone’s crush—Xiang Di couldn’t help wanting to laugh.

Xiang Sheng noticed Xiang Di looking at him and arrogantly raised an eyebrow. “What are you looking at, huh? Never seen a handsome guy before?”

Xiang Di made a gagging face and asked directly, “It’s not even lunchtime yet, why are you up so early?”

Xiang Sheng shrugged and didn’t say anything, but Xiang Di quickly found out.

Their parents came out of the bedroom. The couple were still wearing their work uniforms, each holding a bag. At a glance, it was obvious they had come back temporarily to grab a change of clothes.

Seeing Xiang Di had returned, Xiang Rongqiang said in surprise, “Yo, our girl’s back.”

Luo Qinshu sighed. “Why weren’t you home so early in the morning, where did you go? At least tell your brother when you go out. I asked him and he didn’t know anything. What if something happened to you outside?”

Xiang Di lifted the dessert bag in her hand. “I just went downstairs to buy something to eat.”

Her eyes rolled, and she pointed at Xiang Sheng. “No choice, I was too hungry. He stays up late gaming every day and doesn’t get up during the day, doesn’t care about my meals at all. I can only solve it myself.”

Suddenly getting reported, Xiang Sheng cried out, “Hey!”

As soon as those words came out, the couple immediately turned their firepower on Xiang Sheng.

“All you do every day is play games! Not sleeping at night, not getting up in the day! You don’t even take care of your sister’s meals!” Luo Qinshu walked over and slapped her son hard on the back. “Such an important year, senior year, so much academic pressure, and you let your sister go hungry every day! Are you even a brother!”

Xiang Rongqiang also scolded, “What if you starve your sister and ruin her health? Are you going to take the college entrance exam for her?”

Luo Qinshu snorted coldly. “Let him take it? Dream on. Four years of university and all the books went straight into a dog’s stomach. Every day it’s either gaming or filming all kinds of messy videos to post online and show off. If you made him take the gaokao now, I’d consider it impressive if he even got into a vocational college.”

Xiang Sheng clutched his back where his mom had slapped it, looking both aggrieved and unconvinced as he retorted, “If everything went into a dog’s stomach, could I secure a guaranteed spot for grad school? And those videos I post make money, okay? Do you know how much I get for one ad now? More than your combined monthly salaries, okay? Whether our family can live in a mansion in the future depends entirely on me. Please show me some respect, okay?”

As soon as he finished speaking, another slap landed on his back, even harder this time. It was Xiang Rongqiang.

“It’s just an internal graduate recommendation, not something you worked hard to test into. What are you being arrogant about?”

“Your mom and I have fixed salaries every month, and we’ll have pensions when we’re old. We don’t care about living in your so-called mansion. How much money you make from videos has nothing to do with us. But Xiang Sheng, let me advise you—if you’re going to film videos, at least put your clothes on properly. Don’t do that flirtatious, borderline crap. Do you know your second aunt scrolled past one of your videos online the other day and sent it to your mom and me? Do you know how awkward that was for us?”

Xiang Di burst out laughing.

Xiang Sheng’s expression instantly changed, the corner of his mouth twitching. “Second Aunt saw that video of mine? No way. I clearly…”

Luo Qinshu handed the phone over. “See for yourself!”

Xiang Di also hurried over to join in the fun. It really was Xiang Sheng’s video. With a flirtatious, beat-stepping BGM, Xiang Sheng was doing borderline content in the video, lifting up his shirt to show off his abs.

This video had been a hot post last week, with several hundred thousand likes and more than twenty thousand comments. There were barely any proper comments. The top hot comment was: “Drool soaked my data cable, getting electrocuted while watching abs.”

The screenshot had been sent over by Second Aunt. Second Aunt was using the ID “That Year, Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full,” with a farmland profile picture. She had even liked the video and conveniently left a comment underneath: “My big nephew is really handsome 👍👍🌹”

Xiang Sheng’s face turned deathly pale. Xiang Di stood to the side gloating. She’d said it before—big data was a terrifying thing. Acting borderline online every day to please fans, sooner or later a relative from home would scroll past it. At the next family gathering, there would definitely be a good show.

“Your mom and I both work in proper units. Our son is doing borderline content, do you think that’s appropriate?” Xiang Rongqiang warned. “Let me tell you, the country is cracking down hard on the pornography industry. If one day I handle a case like that and run into you, don’t blame me for enforcing the law even against my own family.”

Xiang Sheng pointed at himself in disbelief. “Are you kidding me? I’m just showing my abs. That’s pornography now?”

Luo Qinshu didn’t give him any face. “Oh, so you have to pull out your bird for it to count as pornographic?”

Xiang Sheng’s already pale face instantly turned red. “Mom!”

That wording was really too crude. Xiang Rongqiang coughed lightly and reminded her, “Watch your phrasing. Our daughter is still here.”

Luo Qinshu realized she had misspoken. Not wanting to dirty their daughter’s ears, she quickly shut up.

Who knew their daughter Xiang Di was actually feeling disdainful inside right now. What bird, not bird—why make it so euphemistic. Isn’t it just a man’s yinjin, the English name penis, the internet name J8. Like she didn’t know.

However, on the surface, the persona she was supposed to maintain still had to be maintained. She covered her ears and scolded coyly, “Mom, what are you saying.”

Luo Qinshu gave an embarrassed laugh and immediately went back to criticizing Xiang Sheng. “Xiang Sheng, look at you—you’ve even led your sister astray!”

Xiang Sheng wanted nothing more than to rip off this damn sister’s mask. She’d even read the most disgusting incest sibling novels—what was she pretending for.

Since his abs video had already been exposed, he might as well smash the pot and die together. Xiang Sheng sneered and said directly, “Mom, do you really think Xiang Di doesn’t understand anything? Let me tell you, she *&％￥#—”

Xiang Di reacted extremely fast. She lunged over, jumped up, and covered Xiang Sheng’s mouth.

“Dad, Mom, actually I think it’s still good that my brother posts these kinds of videos. Look, the male-to-female ratio is so imbalanced now. A lot of guys can’t find girlfriends and can only go find boyfriends.”

“But look at my brother’s fans. Ninety percent are female fans, and if you click into their profiles, basically they’re all beauties. That proves my brother attracts beauties. At least you don’t have to worry about my brother finding a boyfriend in the future, right?”

The couple looked at each other and thought… that made sense.

Xiang Sheng violently shook off Xiang Di’s hand, rolled his eyes at her. Fine, she still had a bit of conscience.

The couple still had to rush back to work. Before leaving, Xiang Rongqiang transferred Xiang Di some living expenses.

“Girl, if your brother doesn’t take care of your meals, don’t wrong yourself either. You’re in senior year, the academic pressure is high. Don’t starve yourself. Don’t always eat these snacks and cakes—there’s no nutrition. Eat healthier, eat more meat and proper meals. If the money isn’t enough, tell Dad, okay?”

Luo Qinshu also said, “This is a critical period. It doesn’t matter if you gain some weight from eating more. You can lose it after you go to college. Young girls have fast metabolism—you’ll slim down quickly. Only if you’re full will you have the strength to take exams.”

Facing her parents’ nagging and concern, Xiang Di kept nodding. “Mm, mm, mm.”

In the end, Xiang Rongqiang shot Xiang Sheng another glare and said irritably, “Your mom and I get paid every month. We don’t want your money. Your sister is still studying, and you don’t even know to buy her something to eat.”

“Being an internet celebrity making so much money, yet when you went traveling with your classmates, wasn’t it still your dad who paid five thousand yuan for you?” Luo Qinshu said. “If you’re not cooking, then at noon take your sister out to eat something good. Otherwise, return that five thousand to me, principal and interest included.”

Xiang Sheng said helplessly, “All my money went into investments, okay? It hasn’t reached the return period yet. When it does, I’ll directly pay you back fifty thousand, alright?”

“If you have fifty thousand, then use it to buy your sister more food.”

The door closed, and the couple completely left. The house was once again left with just the siblings.

Xiang Sheng was so angry he laughed.

Could these two be any more biased? He seriously suspected he had been picked up from a trash can.

Every other sentence was about buying food for his sister. Seriously. She’s just in senior year. So what if she’s in senior year? Does being in senior year make her so amazing that the whole world has to give way to her?

Xiang Sheng glared irritably at Xiang Di.

Xiang Di blinked at him. “I just spoke up for you. Aren’t you going to say thank you?”

Xiang Sheng: “Thank your grandpa. Get lost.”

Xiang Di pretended to take out her phone. “Then I’ll call our grandpa right now and help you pass along your thanks?”

Xiang Sheng waved his hand. “Get lost, get lost. Don’t play smart with me. I’m annoyed just looking at you.”

Being dragged out of bed by his mom while he was sleeping soundly, Xiang Sheng yawned, flopped back onto the sofa, and tried to catch some more sleep.

But not even a few minutes after closing his eyes, a haunting voice suddenly came from beside him. “What are we eating for lunch?”

Xiang Sheng turned over with his eyes closed. “Eat shit.”

Xiang Di was dissatisfied. “Mom just said you should take me out to eat something good.”

Xiang Sheng: “Take you to eat shit.”

Xiang Di didn’t say anything more. Just when Xiang Sheng thought she had finally given up, he suddenly heard her say, “Hello, Mom.”

Xiang Sheng instantly sprang up from the sofa and snatched her phone.

“Damn it, are you an elementary school kid? Will you die if you don’t tattle once a day?”

He was about to hang up when he looked closely and saw it was just the lock screen. She hadn’t called Mom at all.

“Awake now?” Xiang Di grinned at him. “Since you’re awake, hurry up and get ready. Remember to take me out to eat later.”

Xiang Sheng: “……”

He said viciously, “You little brat, don’t let me catch any dirt on you, or you’re dead.”

Xiang Di propped her face with one hand, looking innocent. “May I ask, as such a pure and kind little girl, how could I possibly have any dirt?”

This time it was Xiang Sheng who made a gagging face.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

More than an hour later, the siblings appeared at a hotpot restaurant.

They had just finished ordering when they actually ran into two of Xiang Sheng’s female fans. The two girls were dressed in youthful, pretty outfits and cautiously came over to greet him.

After confirming it was indeed Xiang Sheng, the two girls excitedly covered their mouths and said, “You’re even more handsome in person than in the videos.”

Xiang Sheng: “Really? Thanks.”

Xiang Sheng looked very calm, putting on a cool-guy act, but only Xiang Di knew that this damn brother’s heart was already buzzing like a swarm of wild bees.

At this moment, the two girls also noticed the small girl sitting across from Xiang Sheng.

Xiang Di wasn’t wearing her school uniform today. With her long hair and that fair, tender oval face, she looked pure and sweet. Although it was obvious she was quite young, plenty of college students nowadays also looked like elementary school kids, so it was impossible to determine her age.

One of the girls asked hesitantly, “This is…”

Xiang Sheng said directly, “My sister. Biological sister.”

Xiang Sheng had mentioned a few times in his livestreams that he had a younger sister and that the two of them often quarreled. Fans also liked listening to him share daily stories about arguing with his sister during streams. But he paid close attention to his family’s privacy, so fans only knew he had a sister—nothing else.

“So this is your sister.” The girl’s eyes lit up. “Your sister is so pretty.”

Just as Xiang Di was about to say thank you, Xiang Sheng answered for her first, “Just a little brat. So-so.”

Then he said to Xiang Di, “Where are your manners? Call them big sisters.”

Xiang Di replied calmly, “Do you have any manners? They look so young. Maybe they’re even younger than me. Maybe they should be calling me big sister.”

The two girls couldn’t stop smiling and quickly waved their hands, saying that couldn’t be possible.

Xiang Sheng was momentarily speechless.

This damn girl—her mouth could be as vicious as possible toward him, yet all the sweet talk went to outsiders.
