He Junming's face imdiately beca incredibly awkward, while Chu Shiyao burst into laughter.
She originally planned to tease He Junming about this matter, but she didn't expect that Chu Ge would beat her to it, asking such an impactful question unknowingly.
"Well... I... hehe..." He Junming blushed madly, stamring for a long ti without managing to say a complete sentence.
"Him? He wanted to say he's your brother-in-law, but he choked back on the 'in-law' part, haha!"
Seeing the puzzled look in Chu Ge's eyes, Chu Shiyao giggled as she provided an answer on behalf of He Junming.
He Junming shot a deeply frustrated glance at Chu Shiyao, becoming even more embarrassed, his face a picture of agony. Seeing him like a mute eating bitter dicine made Chu Shiyao laugh even harder.
This scene puzzled Chu Ge even more, "Brother-in-law? Are you two playing charades with ?"
"Well, Idol brother, actually, here's the thing, it's a bit of a misunderstanding, um..."
Before He Junming could explain, Chu Shiyao interrupted him with a laugh, "I say, He Junming, didn't you just say that if this ward had a man, no matter who he was, you would make him stay away from and tell people I'm your girl? How co it's a misunderstanding now?"
"Sister, you're my dear sister, I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong, please don't make fun of anymore, if I had known you and my Idol brother had a thing..."
"What are you talking about?"
In a mont of panic, He Junming blurted out words without thinking, and as soon as he carelessly said the phrase "had a thing," Chu Shiyao shot him a glare.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, look at my mouth, I ant if I had known you two knew each other, I definitely wouldn't have said those words."
"Hmm, that's more like it."
Seeing He Junming's good attitude, the frustration Chu Shiyao felt was imdiately dispelled, leaving her feeling quite pleased and a bit proud.
"Alright, seeing as you can't articulate clearly, I'll explain to Brother Chu myself."
With a giggle, Chu Shiyao explained the situation to Chu Ge, leaving him bewildered yet amused, and with a sowhat higher impression of the pair.
There was no need to talk about Chu Shiyao, but He Junming's handling, though seemingly absurd, was not lewd in the least, which, considering his princely status, was fairly comndable.
Even if it wasn't him, He Junming probably wouldn't have done anything excessive if soone else had been in the ward.
With his face burning red while Chu Shiyao finished speaking, He Junming scratched his head and awkwardly smiled at Chu Ge. Though smiling, he looked more distraught than if he were crying, utterly embarrassed.
"So that's how it is, didn't think you were so domineering, huh?"
"Hehe, well, I was just joking with Sister Chu, Brother Chu, don't be mad. By the way, since both of you have the surna Chu, you wouldn't happen to actually be siblings, right?"
From Chu Shiyao's attitude and manner of addressing Chu Ge, He Junming felt they didn't appear to be siblings, but he still wished to confirm by tentatively asking.
"No, we're just neighbors, coincidence. Why? You still thinking of pursuing her?"
"How could that be? Oh right, Brother Chu, what's your full na?"
"Chu Ge, as in the Chu from 'Overlord of Western Chu'."
"Hey! What a domineering na! Not only does everyone have to call you brother, but hearing it instantly reminds them of the Overlord of Western Chu, who happens to be my idol as well! No wonder at first glance I felt a deep admiration for you."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Junming rushed to flatter Chu Ge, not realizing that Chu Ge's alias in his previous organization was "Overlord."
Chu Ge burst out laughing, "Oh? And who was it who cursed after I grabbed his skateboard?"
Though Chu Ge hadn't heard if He Junming had actually cursed at that speed, it stood to reason that being robbed of his skateboard, he would likely have vented.
"Idol brother, I admire you so much there's no way I'd curse you! Oh, Idol brother, can I talk to you about sothing?"
He Junming chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head and first delivering another complint before speaking hesitantly.
"Go ahead."
If not for the previous incident with Liu Weijiang, Chu Ge would have refused outright, but he figured he owed He Junming a favor, so he decided to hear him out before considering it.
Initially, He Junming didn't hold much hope, but seeing that Chu Ge was actually giving him a chance to speak further left him slightly stunned. Once he regained his senses, he was overjoyed.
He Junming quickly rubbed his hands as if worried Chu Ge would suddenly change his mind, "Idol brother, um, in the future, can I be your little brother?"
"Uh?"
This ti, Chu Ge was a bit surprised himself. He had expected He Junming to talk about learning to skateboard, and he didn't anticipate this.
Looking at He Junming's hopeful, eager eyes, even tinged with a bit of nervousness, Chu Ge was even more amused, yet speechless.
"Are you kidding?"
"No, no, no, Idol Bro, I'm really not joking, I swear, I'm serious."
While Chu Ge was slightly stunned, Chu Shiyao was completely shocked. Even after the two spoke again, she remained in a state of utter confusion, feeling that either she heard it wrong or she was simply dreaming.
Although Chu Shiyao wasn't quite sure about He Junming's background, just from the events of the past few days, it was enough to prove that his identity was not simple at all, probably beyond her wildest imagination.
The fact that He Junming could call Chu Ge 'Idol Bro' was already outrageous, and now he was begging Chu Ge to be his follower? Are you kidding ?
She quietly pinched her own thigh, it hurt, it really hurt, and only then did Chu Shiyao co back to her senses. What she saw next left her even more incredulous.
Chu Ge, with an amused expression, shook his head, "No way, I might consider other things, but this one, don't even think about it."
He Junming beca more anxious and unwillingly asked, "Why?"
Chu Ge curled his lips, "What do you think? So things needn't be said too clearly, right?"
He Junming sighed, and his previously shining eyes suddenly dimd. He lowered his head in defeat. He knew what Chu Ge ant, but even so, he couldn't help feeling a sense of frustration and regret.
However, just as He Junming's heart was completely chilled, Chu Ge suddenly smiled, left the hospital bed, and with a hand wrapped in thick bandages, patted him on the shoulder.
"But, once you recover, I can teach you skateboarding occasionally. If you have sothing, you can co find . I'm not really interested in being your big brother, but I don't mind having an additional little brother."
Hearing Chu Ge's cheerful voice, He Junming blinked and suddenly lifted his head, the disappointnt in his eyes instantly turning into astonishnt.
"Idol Bro, are you... are you serious?"
Chu Ge laughed heartily, "If you're not willing, then never mind."
"Willing! Of course, I'm willing! Bro, from now on, you're my real bro!"
Overjoyed, He Junming forgot that his right leg was still in a cast, and he jumped up high, the astonishnt on his face turning into surprise.
"Hey, hey, hey, take it easy, no need to get that excited, is there?"
Before He Junming could fall to the ground, Chu Ge grabbed his arm, a mix of tears and laughter on his face.
"Absolutely! Of course, there is! Bro, you don't know, I've dread of having a bro like you, but my family..."
"Alright, I get it."
Chu Ge helped He Junming place the crutch under his right arm, cutting him off with a smile.
After all, apart from him and He Junming, there was also Chu Shiyao in the room. It's not that Chu Ge didn't trust her, just that so things didn't need to be shared with her.
He Junming also realized he almost misspoke. As he regained his composure and looked at Chu Ge, who had just set up his crutch, his heart felt warm, and he couldn't stop grinning foolishly.
"Xiaoming, Yaoyao, you two have been standing for a while. If you're not in a hurry to leave, co over and sit for a bit."
Glancing at the grinning He Junming and the bewildered Chu Shiyao, Chu Ge patted the spare bed in the room and said with a smile.
"Hey!"
"Uh... okay."
With different feelings, they both responded and sat down on the spare bed.
Just as He Junming and Chu Shiyao were sitting down, there was a "knock, knock, knock" at the ward door.
Hearing this sound, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Everyone who should have visited had more or less co by, and if it were the dical staff coming to change his bandages or administer dication, they probably wouldn't knock. Who could it be?
"Co in." With so curiosity, Chu Ge said towards the door.
The door opened, and a man in his thirties, wearing glasses and looking quite refined, walked in.
After taking two glances at the man, Chu Ge felt like he'd seen him sowhere before, but the impression was faint.
"May I ask who you are..."
"Oh, Mr. Chu, hello, I'm Luo Heng, Secretary to Director Hong from the Broadcasting Bureau. We t earlier at Tianjiao Film and Television."
Luo Heng adjusted his glasses and said politely, while glancing around the room.
When he saw Chu Shiyao, he couldn't help but be amazed at how unexpectedly beautiful the nurse in this room was. Her face, her figure, and that nurse's outfit, she was like an angel.
But when he saw He Junming, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was startled. The slightly romantic thoughts that had just arisen in his mind disappeared completely!
