Qi Zeyu hung up the phone with an expressionless face, but he still couldn’t be too relieved. Feng Mo is willing to give his assistant real power, but is unwilling to marry him.

When he likes him, he can accept any excessive demands. But when he doesn’t like him anymore… He doesn’t know if the assistant can continue to stay in the company.

After hearing Feng Mo’s thoughts, Qi Zeyu became even more worried.

Jiang Siyu may be like Feng Mo now, willing to do anything for Qiqi, but as long as he doesn’t like Qiqi anymore, won’t Qiqi be abandoned like his assistant?

No.

He couldn’t let it happen.

Qiqi had suffered so much when he was a child, it is better not to suffer the pain of love.

Just after hanging up the phone, Feng Mo called again.

“Hey, don’t hang up the phone if you disagree. I have something serious to talk to you about. Where are you?”

Qi Zeyu looked left and right, and his eyes fell on the sign of the shower room.

“Shower room door.”

Feng Mo: “?”

“The town is so big, you told me you were at the door of the shower room? How do I know which shower room is it? Why didn’t you just say you were on earth.”

Qi Zeyu: “…The off-road vehicle club is here.”

Feng Mo found it within a short time.

The two found a place to have lunch, and of course the location they chose was a restaurant with the show crew. He sat a few tables away from the guests.

“I want to tell you something. You listen first.”

Qi Zeyu tapped his chin to signal him to hurry up.

“On the day Qi Nan returned to China, did you go to the airport to pick him up?”

“Yes. I picked him up.”

“Where did you pick him up? Did you see him come out of the exit?”

Qi Zeyu realized something was wrong.

“You mean…”

“Yes. He didn’t actually fly back from France. There’s no record of Qi Nan on any flights at the South Airport in A City that day.”

“There are two possibilities. First, Qi Nan came back early and pretended to have just returned that day, but upon reflection, it didn’t seem necessary. The second possibility, Qi Nan was never in France.”

“But at the competition in France, there was indeed a submission by Qi Nan, even though he withdrew from the finals. From this, we can speculate that… They are two different people.”

Qi Zeyu actually had a hint of suspicion. What was the purpose of the Qi Nan who had appeared before them?

“Does Qi Nan have a twin brother?”

Qi Zeyu shook his head.

“I haven’t heard him mention it. He just returned to his biological mother’s house and often communicates with us via video. He didn’t mention his family much. When I asked him, he said everything was fine and told us not to worry.”

“He also often calls back to greet mom, dad, and grandma, and often asks us if there is any news about Qiqi.”

Qi Zeyu remembered that Qi Nan was full of expectations for Qiqi’s return.

“My health has been restored a long time ago. When Qiqi comes back, I can play with him everywhere. I can accompany him in whatever he wants to play.”

That was the agreement between Qi Nan and Qiqi when they were young.

Qi Nan also always remembered it.

Moreover, Qi Nan did attend F University and had a student status, as his classmates and teachers could prove. And he has won many awards, so it doesn’t look like his freedom is restricted.

But why did he withdraw from the finale?

If they were two people and he revealed it now, would it threaten Qi Nan’s safety?

“Come to think of it, I’ve always been puzzled. Why did Uncle and Aunt adopt Qi Nan? I’ve seen parents who have a son adopt a daughter, or those with a daughter adopt a son, just to have both genders in the family.”

“You already have two boys in your family, why would you adopt another one?”

“It wasn’t adoption in the beginning, it was sponsorship.”

Sponsorship?

Qiqi had a weak immune system when he was little, so Lu Nianchu would often take him for medical check-ups. They frequently saw Qi Nan there, who was only about three years old at that time.”

Lu Nianchu asked more question.

They later found out from the nurses that this child had been abandoned due to heart problems, and probably because the family couldn’t afford the high surgical costs.

Normally, children with such cases will be sent to an orphanage, which will then contact the local hospital.

The Qi family went to a private hospital, which has extremely high privacy. Except for wealthy people, many public figures will choose private hospitals.

Abandonment is less likely to occur in private hospitals.

The nurse told Lu Nianchu.

“This child originally had a benefactor who said he was willing to bear all his medical expenses. He visited him frequently in the early days and bought toys and snacks.”

But the other party did that just for fame and fortune.

The donor is a well-known photographer who has gained a lot of fans because of his charity work. Fans think his works are excellent and he is kind-hearted, and they are happy to support him.

The photographer also received a shooting job that many photographers would envy. The goal has been achieved, so he doesn’t worry about the child anymore.

Lu Nianchu had a child of his own, and felt sorry for the abandoned Qi Nan.

“I am willing to pay for this child’s surgery and any subsequent expenses.” Lu Nianchu accepted the donation without thinking much.

Later, Lu Nianchu often took the two brothers to visit Qi Nan.

Once, three people left the ward and walked out of the inpatient building. Qiqi looked back at the hospital building and saw Qi Nan being held by a nurse, standing by the window and watching them leave.

Qiqi stood there, “Mom, can we take little brother home?”

“When little brother recovers, mom will help him find a good parent. If you like little brother, you can often go and play with him in the future.”

“Why can’t he go back to our house?”

At that time, the Qi family had no plans to adopt a child.

Lu Nianchu also explained that it was not as simple as taking him home.

Qiqi is only four years old, and there are some words he cannot understand.

“So it was Qiqi who brought Qi Nan back home?”

“You could say that.”

“You just said that Qi Nan had surgery when he was a child, and that surgery should leave scars.”

Qi Zeyu suddenly realized.

Even if he has undergone treatment to eliminate scars, they can find out whether he has had heart surgery by going to the hospital for a check-up.

The problem is, how to get Qi Nan to go to the hospital for a physical examination?

Qi Zeyu’s eyes fell on Qi Nan. Ever since he discovered the doubt, he felt that the Qi Nan in front of him was too different from the one in his memory.

Qi Zeyu wrote this down and will find an opportunity to test Qi Nan. Now he and Qiqi are both in the same variety show, and Qi Nan doesn’t know that they have recognized Qiqi.

It’s best to keep it a secret for now.

“I just talked to Qiqi, and he said goodbye to me. Do you think I should go say hello to him later?”

Feng Mo didn’t quite believe it, but he also wanted to say hello to Qiqi, so that he could become familiar with him first, and maybe he could become an older brother in the future.

“Come on, I’ll say hello to him too.”

“Wait until they finish eating.”

Qi Zeyu’s eyes softened, his brother had grown up. Qi Zeyu often quarreled with Qiqi when he was a child, and sometimes he found Qiqi annoying.

But when Qiqi went missing, all Qi Zeyu thought about was that he would never make Qiqi angry again.

As long as he gets him back, he will definitely pamper Qiqi and let him do anything.

Qi Zeyu remembered that he and Qiqi had a little quarrel because of Qi Nan.

That year, Qi Zeyu was nine years old. He was immature and laughed at Qiqi for being too naive.

“You don’t know anything, but you want to take him back.”

“You don’t understand.”

Qi Zeyu thought Qiqi was unconvinced.

As he grew older, he probably understood. What Qiqi wanted to argue was not whether he understood or not. He just didn’t want Qi Zeyu to dislike him, even though Qi Zeyu didn’t really dislike him.

“Adopting a child is not just about giving him shelter, food and clothing. Mom and dad don’t have that much energy to take care of other children. It’s already troublesome enough with you alone.” Qi Zeyu tried to reason with him.

“You want to play with him now, so you are willing to share toys and snacks with him, but what about in the future?”

Qiqi didn’t understand. He only understood that Qi Zeyu thought he was troublesome and replied unhappily.

“I’ll let him play with me in the future too.”

Qi Zeyu: “What we will share from now on are not just toys.”

“Snacks too…”

“Can you think of anything else besides eating and playing in your head?”

“Sleeping.” Qiqi thought seriously for a long time, successfully made himself sleepy, and even yawned several times.

Qi Zeyu: “…”

Qi Zeyu really disliked Qiqi for being young and unable to talk to each other. But he still held Qiqi’s hand and took him to bed.

“I’ll just lie with you and won’t tell you stories. You are four years old and you have to learn to sleep on your own.”

“Mn.”

Qiqi was lying on the bed obediently. As soon as Qi Zeyu felt relieved, he listened to his question.

“Instead of telling a story, can you tell something else?”

Qi Zeyu: “…No way.”

“We haven’t finished talking yet. What else should we share with little brother in the future?” Qiqi was still thinking about taking Qi Nan home.

Qi Zeyu didn’t quite understand either, but he still had to pretend to understand in front of Qiqi. He talked nonsense about what he had heard.

“An adopted son and a biological son have equal inheritance rights. This means that everything you have in the future will be shared with Qi Nan, not just snacks and toys.”

“For example, the love of Mom and Dad won’t be just for you and me, but it will also be for him.”

“Can you accept this?” Qi Zeyu deliberately frightened him.

“Mom and dad love me very much, but no one loves little brother. We can love little brother with mom and dad.”

“Forget it, you still don’t understand.”

Qi Zeyu didn’t want to discuss this topic with his four-year-old brother.

“Who says I don’t understand? I can also share it with my annoying big brother.”

Qi Zeyu wanted to jump up and hit him.

“Lu Zeqing, you should sleep alone tonight. The weather forecast says it will rain in the middle of the night, there will be thunder, and lightning will shatter your windows, turning you into black charcoal.”

“You’re both dark and ugly, everyone despises you, and no one loves you.”

Qi Zeyu was addicted to talking.

Then, he saw Qiqi’s eyes were red, with tears still swirling in his eyes, and both hands were holding on to the sheets pitifully.

Qi Zeyu: “…”

“I lied to you.”

Qi Zeyu was afraid that if Qiqi cried too loudly, he would be beaten by Qi Huai, so he reached out to cover Qiqi’s mouth, but he was also afraid that the little troublemaker would complain.

“No thunder, no rain. Don’t cry.”

Qiqi sniffled, paused for three seconds, and just when Qi Zeyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he started crying even louder.

Qi Zeyu: “…”

“Don’t cry.”

No matter how he threatened, it was useless, so Qi Zeyu could only coax him patiently.

“There won’t be rain or thunder.”

“I lied to you, I am a liar.”

“I’m the bad guy.”

“I’m annoying.”

The crying stopped, Qiqi blinked and nodded seriously, “Mn, you admitted it yourself.”

“Have you learned how to fake crying?”

Qi Zeyu was stunned. When he realized that he had been tricked, Qiqi had already closed his eyes and patted his belly.

“Good baby, it’s time to go to sleep.”

At that time, Qi Zeyu was so angry that his teeth itched, but now that he thought about it, he thought Qiqi was cute. He is indeed stupid, Qiqi obviously relies on him, but he always wants to bully him.

And somewhere he couldn’t see, Qiqi had grown so big. Qi Zeyu was a little sad and a little distressed.

Qiqi is so cute, why can those scumbags be so cruel?

He kidnapped him and then tortured him like that.

But even in that environment, his Qiqi was still so good.

What he said to Qiqi in the bathroom, whether Qiqi heard it or not, Qiqi’s answers were all gentle and polite.

If possible, Qi Zeyu hoped that he would not be so sensible or polite.

But be more willful.

He likes to watch Qiqi smile when he succeeds in his prank, just like he did when he was little. He also wanted to take Qiqi home early.

*

After eating and resting for a while, Qin Yanchuan took them to the martial arts gym.

[In such a romantic town, is it reasonable to build a fighting gym?]

[Why don’t you come to have a fight if you don’t have a good time during the date?]

[It’s so funny, does Qin Yanchuan want them to record the show with bruises?]

“This is our fighting coach. Let’s ask the coach to show us his skills first.”

Several guests were not interested, and Qin Yanchuan was still trying to mobilize their enthusiasm.

“You’re so handsome when you practice fighting, why are you so unmotivated!”

“Director Qin, have you ever seen any dating show that takes guests to practice fighting? Do you want rivals to fight each other? Or do you want couples to fight?”

“Isn’t this a breakup show?”

Qin Yanchuan laughed “hehe”.

“Just say you are too young to understand, right?”

“Fighting means physical confrontation, body contact… In the course of it, even mortal enemies can become lovers.”

Guests: “…?”

[Is Director Qin driving? He passed by in a flash]

[Rolls-Royce Phantom pressed on my face]

[What, what, I haven’t gotten in the car yet, what do you mean?]

Qiao Anran didn’t understand, but he resisted, “If I accidentally fall, touch, or become lame… Will the program team bear my medical expenses?”

“Hahahaha, Xiao Qiao, wake up, you are a rich second generation.”

Qin Yanchuan motioned for them to look at the two people sparring next door. They are also a couple, and the boy is teaching the girl how to punch, step by step.

“The kick must be stronger, try again.”

Qiao Anran withdrew his gaze and looked at the others, “Have any of you practiced?”

“Yes.” Jiang Siyu responded lightly.

“I’m entry-level.” Chen Mingfei replied.

Qiao Anran’s eyes widened, “Mingfei, we are 1^[1]Gong/seme/top., so we don’t need to train to be so strong.”

Chen Mingfei: “…”

“This has nothing to do with being strong. Didn’t you see that many girls are also learning it? It can relieve stress and can also be used for self-defense.”

Qiao Anran’s impression of fighting is that in underground casinos in TV series, muscular men beat each other.

Lu Zeqing responded casually, “I can do it too.”

“Zeqing, why do you know everything?” Zhou Shan was shocked. Lu Zeqing could give them different surprises in every episode of the show.

Hearing this, Jiang Siyu’s lips raised proudly.

Lu Zeqing knew… Of course because he… Taught him step by step.

Thinking of this, Jiang Siyu was angry and amused.

Lu Zeqing had completely forgotten about him, but he clearly remembered the self-defense technique he taught.
