You Really Hate Me That Much? (1)
Things don’t get any clearer than that. He was handing out the business card completely for the sake of him having saved Su Yaya, and even promised that he could seek him out for help.
To put it in a more straightforward way, he only cared about Su Yaya and did not want her to feel guilty, and that was why he offered such a promise.
After Su Yaya learned that Xu Chengkun had posted on Weibo to inform his fans that he was safe, she also reposted it and made a thank you post as well.
Then, Chen Xiuqi and Su Yaya stayed for a little while longer before they returned.
After returning to her ward, Chen Xiuqi carried Su Yaya back to bed.
Su Yaya was bored on the bed, so she said to Chen Xiuqi, “Let’s play some games.”
Chen Xiuqi looked at her and nodded. “Sure.”
So, the two of them logged into the game together. They invited a few teammates and did dungeons together, abusing bosses of all shapes and sizes.
“Haha, we won, we won!”
After playing a few rounds in a row, Su Yaya and Chen Xiuqi’s team won a great victory, which made Su Yaya very happy.
By the time she realized it, the sky had already turned dark.
Chen Xiuqi looked at the time. It was almost seven o’clock in the evening.
“It’s getting late. What do you want for dinner?” Chen Xiuqi asked.
Su Yaya responded, “I want beef with pickled peppers.”
Chen Xiuqi glared at her. “You still want to eat pickled pepper beef after being injured?”
“Then you tell me, what should I eat?” Su Yaya asked him instead.
Chen Xiuqi smiled and glanced over at her injured ankle, saying, “Why don’t you eat pig trotter soup? Whatever you eat nourishes whichever part, right?”
Su Yaya didn’t respond to it at first. Only after figuring out what he meant after a pause did she immediately yell in dissatisfaction, “You’re too much, Chen Xiuqi!”
You’re a pig trotter! Your entire family are pig trotters!
In the end, Chen Xiuqi did not actually ask Assistant Chen to buy pig trotter soup under her fierce resistance. He still cared about showing her respect after all. So, he got her mushroom and chicken soup.
Chen Xiuqi stayed with Su Yaya for dinner and accompanied her until it was quite late. At about 9 PM, her agent Zhou Peiyun finally arrived.
She entered the door in a huff, but seeing that Chen Xiuqi was here, she quickly greeted him before saying, “Sorry I came late. I was at X City and the weather was bad. The plane came late because of the rain and that was why it took me so long.”
Chen Xiuqi glanced at her and said, “Don’t worry about it. It’s good that you’ve come.”
Even though Zhou Peiyun said it in a flat tone, Zhou Peiyun still heard a hint of blame from it. As her agent, she was unable to rush over immediately even though something happened to her artist. It wasn’t professional of her. If Chen Xiuqi had anything to say about it, she could only accept it.
Zhou Peiyun carefully looked over to Su Yaya again and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!” Su Yaya responded cheerfully. She didn’t look hurt at all.
Zhou Peiyun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Su Yaya was fine, Chen Xiuqi wouldn’t make things too hard for her.
“You should be more careful in the future, don’t go to dangerous places,” Zhou Peiyun said to her, worried.
Su Yaya had already been nagged by Chen Xiuqi today, then now it was Zhou Peiyun’s turn at it. So, she said to her, “Got it, understood. I won’t make you worry anymore in the future.”
After receiving her promise, Zhou Peiyun talked with Su Yaya for a while. When Su Yaya began to doze off, Chen Xiuqi said, “Let Yaya rest. We can talk about the rest later.”

Since Chen Xiuqi had spoken, Zhou Peiyun dared not say anything. She quickly agreed and found an excuse to leave.
Su Yaya laid in bed, staring at Chen Xiuqi. He stroked her head and said in a gentle voice, “Sleep. I’ll watch over you until you fall asleep before I go to my hotel.”
“Okay.” Su Yaya was finally satisfied. She tugged at his hand and slowly closed her eyes with a smile.
When Su Yaya woke up the next day, the sky had just risen. No lights were on in the room and it was only illuminated by the weak sunlight of dawn from the window.
In a daze, she saw a figure sitting beside her. He had his back to the light but he had a tall figure. She could only vaguely make out his outline.
She still remembered that Chen Xiuqi was there to guard her until she fell asleep last night, so she thought that Chen Xiuqi was still sitting around and did not leave.
“Xiu Qi,” Su Yaya called out to him. She had just woken up so her voice still sounded a little husky. It was very alluring.
The seated figure moved a bit, turning to face her. A handsome face was now completely revealed in front of her, and she finally realized who it was.
Su Yaya showed a startled expression and inched back subconsciously. Then, she found her voice and said, “Why…Why are you here?”
Xu Chaoran saw the shock flashing past her pretty little face and a deep look emerged on his handsome face. He smiled and spoke in his deep voice, “Does it disappoint you to know that I wasn’t Chen Xiuqi?”
Su Yaya pursed her lips. “That’s not so much a disappointment but more so I was surprised by you. I didn’t know you were here.”
“Did Chen Xiuqi watch over you last night?” Xu Chaoran observed her.
“Really, I didn’t think that Chen Xiuqi actually cared so much, even more than…”
He did not finish. Instead, he changed the topic. Staring at Su Yaya, he asked, “Do I really look so similar to Chen Xiuqi? Is that why you mistook me for him?”
Su Yaya felt like that was a very strange question. After looking him up and down, she shook her head. “Nope, not at all.”
“Then why did you mistake me for him?” Xu Chaoran probed.
Su Yaya thought that he was being really weird. She said, “I actually just called out his name after waking up and didn’t see too clearly. If you were to sit facing me then I definitely wouldn’t have mistaken.”
Xu Chaoran stared at her for a while, and she also met his gaze calmly. After a while, Xu Chaoran seemed to finally believe that what she said was true. She really had just made a mistake.
But Su Yaya seemed to hear a sigh coming from him, one that carried a hint of hidden sadness and disappointment.
Su Yaya felt a little strange in her heart. She asked, “Why are you here? What did you come all the way here for?”
“I came to see you!” Xu Chaoran announced matter-of-factly.
Su Yaya then said, “I don’t need you to come see me, I’m perfectly fine. Did you let those reporters outside see you when you came in?”
“Are you scared of being photographed by those reporters? Or scared of letting Chen Xiuqi know?” Xu Chaoran asked angrily.
Su Yaya was stunned. In fact, she was worried about both of that, but she didn’t want to tell him the truth. So, she asked, “Am I that close with you? If the reporters were to catch you at the hospital they would end up writing a big mess, and I would be the unlucky one!”
Xu Chaoran sneered. “You make it sound like I wouldn’t be unlucky! And it’s not like this is the first time!”
This was not only a complaint about this matter, but also one of the precedent.

Su Yaya could tell, and it felt a little unreasonable to her. Last time, Xu Chaoran was forced to leave the crew and announced that he would temporarily withdraw from the entertainment circle. It was incorrect to say that the matter had nothing to do with her, it was still a little related no matter what.
Seeing her remain silent, Xu Chaoran laughed. “You stupid woman. You’re either falling into the water or having something crashing on you. You’re so stupid but Chen Xiuqi still dares to let you come out to film. How generous!”
“Hey!” Su Yaya glared at him angrily.
Xu Chaoran raised a brow. “Am I wrong? Are you not stupid? If you weren’t would you have fallen into the water? Or get hit by that thing?”
“Hey! That’s enough!” Su Yaya put on a grim face. “You come all the way here in the early morning just to pick a fight? If that’s the case it’s better if you left. I’m worried that I’ll feel bad just by looking at you!”
Xu Chaoran paused. He looked at her intently and said, “Are you still angry with me? I admit that I was wrong last time, and I apologize. But I also told you that I sincerely want to be friends with you, don’t you remember?”
Su Yaya rolled her eyes at him and laughed. “What’s there for me to be angry about? I’m living a good life, I have no reason to get angry over nobody! And you, Big Celebrity Xu, I don’t think we’re close enough to such a degree so please leave!”
Xu Chaoran’s handsome face turned dark. He looked at her for a while and finally said, “You really hate me that much, huh? That you can’t even be friends with me? And here I was hoping you could still be my junior.”
Su Yaya laughed. “If everyone called each other that if they were close to someone, then that would be too easy. You better take that title back because I’m not worthy.”
With things coming to this, there wasn’t anything left for Xu Chaoran to hesitate about. There was no turning things around anymore. He came to see her because he cared, but she no longer wanted to accept that.
“I’m leaving,” Xu Chaoran said under his breath after a while.
Su Yaya ignored him. By the time she came back to her senses, he had already left.
It’s good that he left, Su Yaya thought to herself. She didn’t want to have too much to do with that guy.
But what Xu Chaoran said earlier left a trace in her heart. That was the question he asked her. Did he and Cheng Xiuqi look similar?
She didn’t think about it before but when he brought it up, she noticed on closer inspection that Xu Chaoran did have similar eyes with Chen Xiuqi.
Only, he would sometimes put makeup on it as an artist while Chen Xiuqi spent his time barefaced every day. That was why she never noticed this before. Now, the more she thought about it, the more similar she felt they were, almost like they were brothers.
Brothers?!
Su Yaya’s own ideas made her jump. But after careful thinking, the two of them really did look like brothers. What’s more, Xu Chaoran also knew An Yuting and An Yutong. Obviously their relationship was complicated.
If Xu Chaoran was Cheng Xiuqi’s little brother, and Chen Xiuqi asked him to leave the crew and the entertainment circle after he deliberately got close to her, then everything suddenly made sense.
Oh my god, she did not see this part when she read the novel. She really transmigrated in way too early. Only after getting to the part where the main story began did she finally realize such a thing.
How complicated!
Su Yaya thought in her heart, to have both brothers go for An Yutong…Tsk tsk tsk, An Yutong truly was a godly figure!
The author has something to say:
Chen Xiuqi kneeling on durians:
Yaya, let’s stop talking about An Yutong, okay? 〒_〒
