53 Yang Siyue

'However

he suddenly stretched a hand out and looked up dramatically

”Wait! Don't leave! Sister in law!”'

'”. . . What?!” He Xinyan scrunched her face up when she heard what Gu Yebei just called her. What did that mean?'

'He Xinyan's mouth suddenly fell opened when a thought she had pushed away suddenly came back again

”You're Gu Yechen's brother?!”'

'Gu Yebei smiled sheepishly and slowly got up from the ground

”Surprising

right? I know

I know. I'm so much more handsome and likable than him. I'm also surprised that we are related.”'

'”. . .” He Xinyan didn't know what to say and whether she should be surprised or not. She did guess that maybe Gu Yebei was somehow related to Gu Yechen

but she was still very surprised to find out that they were brothers.'

'”Are you younger?” He Xinyan asked.'

'”Yes

yes! Two years!” Gu Yebei responded as he held up two fingers with his hand

”Is it easy to tell? I look younger

right? I take care of my skin very

very well!”'

'”Is that why you called me over?”'

'Gu Yebei smiled

”Yep! I wanted to meet my future sister in law. . . Wow

my brother is quite lucky. He's so unpleasant. Why would a beauty like you choose to date him?”'

'By now

He Xinyan had a basic understanding of who Gu Yebei was. He was like the opposite of his brother and was probably much easier to interact with.'

'He Xinyan relaxed a bit and sat down on a chair in the corner of the room

”Is this your private resting room?”'

'Gu Yebei nodded

”Yes

yes. It's much fancier than those tents

right? You can come over whenever you want. You're always welcome!”'

'”. . . Are you trying to curry favor with me?”'

'Gu Yebei cleared his throat and looked away awkwardly

”You don't have to expose me.”'

'”Why?”'

'”Hehe. . . Sister in law

you're so pretty

you must be extremely kind too

right? When you are with my brother

can you talk good about me to him? You know

like increasing my allowance

or treating me to some good food.”'

'He Xinyan frowned

”If I talk good about you to him

you will probably be dead soon.”'

'Did Gu Yebei not know about the famous vinegar tub

Gu Yechen?! She wasn't going to go dig her own grave and talk good about another man.'

'Gu Yebei pouted and looked down dejectedly

”My sister in law doesn't like me. . .”'

'He Xinyan eyed him up and down and sighed. The two brothers were so different. . .'

'He Xinyan stood up to leave to check on the makeup tents again when there was a knock on the door. A few seconds later

a woman dressed in a traditional light blue gown walked in.'

'Her makeup was completed already and she fanned herself with her script as she walked in

”Gu Yebei!”'

'He Xinyan gasped when she saw who it was

”Yang Siyue!”'

'Yang Siyue turned around and seemed to just notice He Xinyan. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at He Xinyan up and down

”Who's this?''

'”I'm He Xinyan

playing the role of Concubine Xi.” She felt as her heartbeat sped up in front of her idol.'

'Yang Siyue suddenly frowned and turned to look at Gu Yebei

”Gu! Ye! Bei! How dare you hide such a pretty little girl inside your room and not show me?!”'

'Yang Siyue ran over to Gu Yebei in her long costume and strangled him with her arm.'

'”Ah! Ah! Forgive me

sister Yang! Wait!” Gu Yebei swung his arms up and down like he was drowning

and He Xinyan watched their dramatic act with a weird expression.'

'Wasn't Yang Siyue a proud and elegant person. . .'
