Chapter 58: Third Brother’s Debut
“Take a look for yourself.” The girl quipped. “I’ve posted the photos online in the group chat. Someone bumped into him at the airport. Although they didn’t ask for a group photo… look, that figure must be him!”
“Yeah, it must be. I’ve seen him wearing this set before.”
“But the fan group didn’t say that he was coming to the capital…”
“Maybe it’s a private trip. Someone just happened to see him…” the girl said and then screamed, “AHHH!”
At the same time, screams from other female compatriots rang throughout the mall. It was all very lively.
Jiang Yu silently covered her ears.
Jiang Zeyu silently took a step back. Fortunately, there was no one behind him.
Jiang Yu followed him down a step away from the source of the noise.
The other two girls asked hurriedly, “What is it? What it is?”
The girl was too excited. Her face was flushed red and her speech was incoherent. “Jiang Xingyi… someone saw… he was…”
“Aiya, take a breath and speak slowly. We can’t understand what you’re saying.”
“I said,” the girl took a deep breath, her eyes lit up like headlights. “Someone saw Jiang Xingyi on Weiqing Road in Nanfeng District!”
“Weiqing Road?”
The two girls were stunned. “Isn’t that very close to us?”
“Yeah! Lan Cui Mall is on Baotong Road, and next to it is Weiqing Road. That means we might be able to meet Jiang Xingyi!”
The escalator finally reached the fourth floor.
The three girls didn’t have any intention of getting off when they reached the fourth floor. They stood in the elevator and crazily discussed where they could meet Jiang Xingyi, whether they should leave the department store and wander on Weiqing Road right now.
Due to the sheer amount of people in Lan Cui Mall, it was almost impossible that Jiang Xingyi would come here.
The three of them were discussing animatedly as if they could see Jiang Xingyi right the next second.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Zeyu were standing some ways away but they could still hear the girls’ excited discussion.
He glanced down and saw that many people had already walked to the entrance of the department store, and as expected, all of them were girls.
Even the salesgirls from every store were getting restless as if they wanted to skip work.
It was clear how lethal Jiang Xingyi’s influence was on the fairer sex.
Jiang Zeyu pursed his lips.
Was Jiang Xingyi that good?
Didn’t he just know how to sing a few songs? What was so great about that?
Within a few minutes, the mall seemed to contain fewer patrons.
When Jiang Yu and Jiang Zeyu walked into the next store, no one came forward to greet them.
A few women were discussing among themselves, “Do you think Jiang Xingyi is participating in the recording of the show? If not, why would he be walking on the streets? Could there be hidden cameras?”
“But I heard no one say that they saw a cameraman…”
Jiang Yu suddenly took a step forward.
Jiang Zeyu, who was walking by Jiang Yu’s side, suddenly saw Jiang Yu take a step forward. She then quickly turned around and looked behind him with caution.
Eh?
What happened to his sister?
Jiang Zeyu turned around in confusion and saw a man wearing a hat and a mask standing behind him.
His hand hovered in mid-air as if he was about to pat someone’s head.
Jiang Zeyu was stunned.
When did this person appear?
The man retracted his hand and chuckled softly. His voice was magnetic and pleasant to the ear, like a beautiful cello being played, playing a magnificent melody.
The man said, “Seems like you don’t remember me after all, Little Sister.”
Chapter 59: Get Out of My Way. Do Not Get In the Way of Me Seeing Little Sister
Of course, Jiang Yu wouldn’t know Jiang Xingyi.
She isn’t the original character.
Oh, of course, the original character might not remember him either.
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Zeyu and asked with her eyes, who is this person?
“Uhh…”
Jiang Zeyu hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, “Ignore him. He’s just a passerby.”
“Heh.” Jiang Xingyi sneered and sized him up. “I haven’t seen you for over a year. Has your ego grown bigger?”
Jiang Yu wasn’t a fool. She knew that the two of them had recognized each other at first glance. Plus, the man had called her little sister?
So, this was another cheap brother of hers?
He was wearing a mask and a hat, he looked so serious…
Remembering the characters in the book, Jiang Yu already made a judgment in her heart, but she didn’t immediately respond to the man.
Jiang Zeyu took a step to the side and stood right in front of Jiang Yu.
He opened his arms and said righteously, “Look, you scared my little sister. Hurry up and leave. Stop lingering around here.”
Jiang Zeyu emphasized the words “my little sister”.
“Oh?”
Jiang Xingyi said in a lazy tone, “Why didn’t I know this? Since when did you care so much about Little Sister? Didn’t you hate little girls the most in the past? Why, have you changed your opinion?”
“What’s it to you?” Jiang Zeyu replied without any pretense of courtesy.
In Jiang Xingyi’s eyes, Jiang Zeyu felt like he was watching an angry cat.
He raised his chin slightly and gestured, “Get out of my way. Do not get in the way of me seeing Little Sister.”
Jiang Zeyu said, “I’m not moving. What can you do to me?”
“Nothing much,” Jiang Xingyi said lightly, but his tone was full of threats. “Do you believe, if I gave out just one shout, you will not be able to leave this mall today?”
Jiang Zeyu fell silent.
He knew what Jiang Xingyi said was true.
It was very possible.
Moreover, he was capable of doing such a thing.
“There’s no need to shout,” Jiang Yu quietly said from behind Jiang Zeyu, “They have already noticed you.”
Jiang Xingyi’s voice was very recognizable. Although he had lowered his voice and there was no one around them, because of his tall figure and his suspicious attire, it was difficult for people not to notice him.
Jiang Yu could already hear the sales ladies in the shop whispering, “Look, doesn’t that man look a little like…”
Jiang Xingyi lowered the brim of his hat and said in a low voice, “Follow me.”
Jiang Zeyu was still in a bad mood. “Why should I follow you? Do you know why we’re here? How can we leave when we haven’t finished our business? If you want to leave, you should leave first. Don’t delay our agenda!”
“The only reason to come to a mall is to buy stuff, do you think I’m stupid?”
“You’re so smart. Then do you know what we’re going to buy?”
“Clothes.”
Jiang Zeyu: “… Eh? How did you know?”
Jiang Xingyi took out his phone and looked at Jiang Zeyu like he was looking at someone who’s mentally handicapped. “Didn’t you just say that in your WeChat moments?”
Jiang Zeyu: ! ! !
F*ck!
I forgot about that!
When Jiang Zeyu had secretly posted on his WeChat moments, he only wanted to show off and ask for some opinions, so he only blocked a few irrelevant people.
Who would have thought that Jiang Xingyi would pay attention to this!
Jiang Zeyu said in a weird tone, “I didn’t expect that the great singer Jiang would have time to look at his moments.”
Jiang Xingyi didn’t respond to him. Instead, he looked behind him and invited Jiang Yu, “Come with me. There’s nothing here that you will want.”
“Little Sister, ignore him. He must be up to no good…”
Chapter 60: You’ve Got the Wrong Person
Before Jiang Zeyu could finish his sentence, he heard Jiang Yu reply, “Alright.”
Jiang Zeyu slowly turned his head. “Eh?”
Why did his sister agree so quickly?
Jiang Yu looked down at herself and gave her reasoning, “Looking at the way he’s dressed, his taste in clothes should be pretty good.”
Jiang Zeyu: “…”
He maintained a polite but awkward smile.
By saying that, was his sister implying that his taste was not as good as Jiang Xingyi’s?
Although this was the truth, it was still a little hurtful.
He was a little sad.
Not much, just a little.
Jiang Zeyu had an expression that said, “I’m very sad, but I won’t say it.” Jiang Yu had already walked over, but Jiang Zeyu had yet to follow.
She pondered for a moment and said, “I know you don’t like each other, there’s no need to force yourself. I’m just going to buy some clothes. After I’m done, I’m heading straight home. You can leave first.”
Jiang Xingyi: “…”
Was he just a salesperson to her?
“No!”
Jiang Zeyu’s expression changed immediately. “Who knows if what he says is true or not? I have to stay by my little sister’s side and protect you!”
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment. “To be honest, it’s not certain who will protect who.”
Jiang Zeyu: “… Come on Little Sister, let’s leave!”
It was like he suddenly remembered something not very pleasant, so he quickly changed the topic.
As a result of the few minutes of delay, the sales ladies in the shop managed to confirm Jiang Xingyi’s identity by staring at the only exposed part of him, his eyes.
From among them, a young lady walked up to the trio. Her ears glowed red as she said nervously, “Brother Xingyi, my name is Xingguang. I like you very much! Can you take a photo with me?”
Xingguang was the name of Jiang Xingyi’s fan.
Jiang Xingyi didn’t say anything.
The young lady’s courage didn’t fade though. She said stubbornly, “Brother Xingyi, I really like you. Can you fulfill my request please?”
Jiang Xingyi lowered his voice. “You’ve got the wrong person.”
The young lady didn’t believe him. “You’re lying to me. You must be Mr. Xingyi!”
“Hey, you really got the wrong person.”
Jiang Zeyu suddenly said, “He’s my uncle. His voice is so low because he has a bad cold.”
“Other than the fact that he doesn’t want to infect others, his face is also full of pockmarks. He’s wrapped up tightly as not to scare other people while walking outside.”
The little girl was a little uncertain. “Really… Really?”
“Of course it’s true!” Jiang Zeyu said sincerely, “Do I look like a person who can lie?”
The little girl looked at his red hair and torn jeans, half believing, half doubting.
“Hey, why would I lie to you?”
Jiang Zeyu walked to Jiang Xingyi’s side and tried to pull him, but Jiang Xingyi stepped aside and dodged him.
Jiang Zeyu’s expression didn’t change. “You see, only old people have such bad tempers. My uncle just has a good sense of fashion. Doesn’t he look very young?”
The salesgirl was a little confused.
She looked toward her colleagues. The other salesgirls were also a little confused because of Jiang Zeyu’s words.
Could it be… Had they really mistaken him for someone else?
Knowing Jiang Xingyi’s temperament, he would not tolerate people calling him an uncle.
Jiang Zeyu felt at ease.
When Jiang Xingyi had threatened him earlier, he was being stupid. Jiang Zeyu had been a little intimidated by Jiang Xingyi.
If there was only him and Jiang Xingyi here, Jiang Xingyi wouldn’t hesitate to do his worse to Jiang Zeyu. However, now that his sister was here, this might not happen.
