[I’m so jealous of the students at C University! Shen Wanwan is coming to take her exams, so Brother Ye will definitely show up!]
[Waaah, I want to see Brother Ye too, but I’m stuck in finals week and can’t make it!]
[I’m so jealous of Shen Wanwan. She has an older brother like Brother Ye.]
[I’m actually more jealous of Brother Ye. I want a little sister like Shen Wanwan!]
[Honestly, if fate gave me either one of these siblings, my life would be complete!]
Reading the comments online, Shao Yuye couldn’t help wanting to take his little sister to her exam.
The problem was…
Shen Wanwan wouldn’t let him.
“It’s just an exam. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?”
She lounged lazily on the sofa. As the weather grew colder, wisps of steam rose from the delicate teacup in her hands, partially hiding her pale face. She looked completely relaxed and unhurried.
“Focus on making money. I’ve already invested in your studio. If you don’t work hard and make me lose money…”
She narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Shao Yuye: “!”
Damn.
The way his sister said it really sounded exactly like a ruthless capitalist.
“So you really want me to work that badly?”
His shoulders slumped slightly, looking genuinely aggrieved.
“Don’t tell me you’ve found yourself another favorite Brother out there!”
Shen Wanwan calmly reassured him.
“Of course not.
“There isn’t a better Brother than you anywhere in this world.”
Her social media notifications hadn’t stopped buzzing these past few days.
She’d already had plenty of people trying to curry favor with her before.
After publicly revealing that she and Shao Yuye were siblings, that number had only increased.
Even classmates she’d barely spoken to before had started messaging her, hoping to get an autographed photo from Shao Yuye.
Taking another sip of tea, Shen Wanwan said with satisfaction,
“Now almost everyone is jealous that I have such an amazing brother.”
Because the siblings hadn’t grown up together, Shen Wanwan had changed quite a bit.
She often declared that she was vain and loved seeing other people envy her.
But none of that stopped Shao Yuye from feeling happy simply because his sister was happy.
“Should I sign a few more?”
He had already begun picking out photos.
“You can hand them out to your friends…”
Before he could finish, Shen Wanwan interrupted.
“I don’t have any friends.”
Shao Yuye’s enthusiastic hand froze.
He stared at her in disbelief.
Her contact list had thousands of people.
Yet not a single friend?
The room was brightly lit, but her expression seemed even more detached than usual.
“No need to sign them. They’re all fake friends.”
They weren’t worth making her Brother spend so much effort signing photos for.
After a pause, she added,
“Oh, my manager likes you.
“Sign one for my manager instead.”
Xiao Le was a casual fan of two top celebrities.
She liked both Shao Yuye and Qi Luozhou.
When she found out Shao Yuye was actually Shen Wanwan’s biological older brother, she practically turned into a screaming marmot, bombarding Shen Wanwan’s WeChat with messages.
[Wanwan! You and Brother Ye are actually real siblings?! Waaaah! I’m so jealous, so jealous, SO JEALOUS!]
[You two kept it hidden so well! If I hadn’t been scrolling online today, I’d never have known!]
[Lin Shiran is such a jerk for framing Brother Ye. Thank goodness you’re his sister, Wanwan! You’re seriously amazing!]
Shen Wanwan had been busy dealing with her Brother’s affairs these past few days and hadn’t replied.
Now she finally sent Xiao Le a message.
Her very first reply was an explosive surprise—a photo.
Xiao Le: [!]
She couldn’t stop grinning as she looked at the picture Shen Wanwan had sent.
Xiao Le : [AAAAAH, Wanwan! What am I looking at?! Is that Brother Ye’s actual autograph?!]
Shen Wanwan: [Mm. Now it’s yours.]
Xiao Le : [!!!]
She was putting it out there today!
She’d work for Wanwan for the rest of her life!!
Holding Brother Ye’s personally signed photo, Xiao Le sincerely thought—
The two superstar idols could temporarily take a back seat.
From now on, she had one and only one true faith:
Wanwan!
Long live Wanwan!!
“So…
“The man we saw before…
“Could that have actually been Shao Yuye?”
The wealthy socialite clique, still waiting for Shen Wanwan to reply, had gathered once again.
Lately, they never seemed to run out of things to discuss about her.
“Now that you mention it, his build did look kind of similar.”
Just then, one of them glanced at her phone and exclaimed,
“Those siblings have such a good relationship! Even after being separated for more than ten years, Shao Yuye treats Shen Wanwan so well!”

The comments below were unusually harmonious.
[Hahaha! Damn it, he’s showing off again!]
[LOL. Wanwan: What’s it like having such an attention-seeking older brother?]
[Brother Ye has become visibly brighter and happier! I’m liking this brother-and-sister duo more and more!!!]
Everyone reading the comments fell silent.
Heaven truly favored Shen Wanwan too much.
She had a prestigious family background.
She had beauty.
And now, out of nowhere, she’d gained a superstar older brother.
Looking at the comments, Wang Xiaoli muttered, “If she marries an outstanding husband too…”
Then she really…
…would be the ultimate winner in life.
Someone sneered, “Looks like Shen Wanwan is going to end up alone for the rest of her life. With that personality of hers, hardly anyone would like her.”
But this time, far fewer people in the group chimed in with agreement.
“Even if no one likes her, having a brother like that is enough.”
“What kind of incredible luck does Shen Wanwan have? I… I can’t even bring myself to be jealous anymore…”
“Same… I’m genuinely envious of her now. If only I had a brother who loved me like that!”
Because Shao Yuye had been so active around campus, the tense atmosphere of C University’s finals week was suddenly swept away.
[*Sob*… I saw Brother Ye and Wanwan today! Their genes are seriously amazing! They’re even better-looking in person!]
[Before Brother Ye left today, he even treated everyone to milk tea! It was so good, hehe!]
[I’m tired of saying how jealous I am of C University students! I want to drink the milk tea Brother Ye bought too!]
[But today should’ve been Wanwan’s last exam, right? Brother Ye has a public schedule today, so he probably won’t show up this afternoon.]
No matter how reluctant Shao Yuye was to leave, the contract had been signed long ago. After seeing Shen Wanwan off in the morning, he rushed to Haicheng for a recording session.
With a rare moment of free time, Shen Wanwan finally remembered the fiancé she’d been neglecting lately.
Today also happened to be the last day on the calendar. She thought that perhaps she should spend New Year’s Eve with Qi Luozhou.
She called him and got straight to the point.
“Are you free tonight?”
Qi Luozhou’s voice was as cold and clear as ever, carrying a faint smile.
“Finished with everything?”
Although he couldn’t see her, Shen Wanwan nodded instinctively.
“Mm. My last exam is this afternoon. After that… all my time belongs to you.”
He finally laughed on the other end.
“I’ll come pick you up then.
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
“Anything.”
“‘Anything’ is the hardest answer.”
“Qi Luozhou.”
Shen Wanwan softly called his name, her voice ending with a uniquely gentle lilt.
For a brief moment, Qi Luozhou fell silent. She rarely sounded this gentle.
Just as he was wondering why it felt so unusual, he heard her say matter-of-factly,
“If you can’t even think of what I like to eat, how are you supposed to be my future husband?”
Qi Luozhou couldn’t help laughing.
Now that’s the Shen Wanwan he knew.
A little spoiled.
A little willful.
And just a little adorable.
Unable to resist, he chuckled and slowly called her name.
“Wanwan.”
Lowering his voice, he deliberately imitated the soft tone she’d just used. The final syllable was light and gentle as he called her.
His deep, magnetic voice flowed through the receiver, making her ears inexplicably tingle.
“See you tonight.”
Shen Wanwan hung up almost instantly.
She suddenly felt that the online ranking of ‘Male Celebrities with the Best Gentlemanly Virtues’ had to be wrong.
How could Qi Luozhou possibly rank first?
The way he’d spoken just now…
He sounded exactly like…
…a male fox spirit.
