Because the housekeeper was notified beforehand, a Bai family car was waiting when he exited the airport. Xue Ling handed the luggage over to the driver, sat in the car, and somewhat lazily stretched out his neck.
The best news for him was that because Bai Yue didn’t really have any acquaintances, there was no need to fake his personality. Even the scum gong who loved him from afar was only someone who he interacted with in his youth, when they attended the same high school together. At best, he could be considered the other party’s childhood sweetheart and nowadays could barely be described as friends.

According to Bai Yue’s memory, he and Lin Yi were just ordinary friends and could not even be called ‘good friends’. It was unknown why Lin Yi would become so fascinated with him, to the point of even finding a stand-in. It must be said that the original host never gave Lin Yi any hint of ambiguous intentions or flirtatious actions. Communication between the two had always been very normal, and other than unhesitatingly investing in his films, Lin Yi had never done anything out of the ordinary in front of Bai Yue.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, then forget it. Xue Ling’s task was to change the protagonists’ fate and ensure that they brought disgrace and ruin upon themselves. What went on in that neurotic brain of Lin Yi’s didn’t matter.
The system sat on Xue Ling’s lap without revealing any of its feelings; it was unknown what it was thinking about. It seemed to be hesitating over something it wanted to say, but Xue Ling kept looking out the window, so the system ultimately chose to keep its mouth shut.
He had just noticed that something seemed to have followed them into this world, but right now, it appeared to have nothing to do with the host and should not affect him, so it was better not to bring it up now and save its host some worry.
The Bai family villa was located in the suburbs. It was a wealthy area quite a distance away from the airport. When Xue Ling arrived, the house was ablaze with lights even from the outside. He looked over the Bai family mansion and gave it full points.
After all, as someone who had spent the last life living in a castle, he didn’t have much feelings about a mansion. However, if even Old Master Bai had picked this place to grow old in, the environment here should be very good.
Hai City was the city that had become the most prosperous after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and its development was comparable to that of the United States. Bai family was an old family that existed since the founding of the Republic. After various ups and downs, it could now be considered the leading group in China.

Xue Ling quite enjoyed the fact that although every identity had a bitter life, they all had good family backgrounds. He entered the mansion with his luggage in tow.
The décor of the mansion leaned towards antiques, which was most likely due to the old man’s influence. But although it seemed somewhat archaic, it had its own charm and was pleasing to the eye. The housekeeper was waiting on the porch, and when he saw Xue Ling, he couldn’t help but be a little dazzled.
The last time the young master came back for New Year, he stayed for two days and went abroad again. He spent the whole time writing scripts in his room, and had little interaction with his family. This time, the young master seemed different from the past. The academic sweater and shirt made him look very delicate, like an adolescent. He was pulling a suitcase in each hand, but his movements were not clumsy. On the contrary, he looked particularly elegant.
Upon seeing the housekeeper, he even curved his lips up in a smile, displaying the dimples on his cheeks. “Good evening, housekeeper Qiu.”
Housekeeper Qiu felt that he had been won over by this one smile.
From Xue Ling’s viewpoint, he could see that another man approached them from behind housekeeper Qiu, head held high and a measuring look in his eyes, and so he waved again and greeted, “Good evening, elder brother.”
Bai Hao’s footsteps paused. The look in his eyes became strange as he looked at Xue Ling.

Regardless of what Bai Hao was thinking, Xue Ling placed the two suitcases on the floor, took off his shoes, changed into slippers, and then stuffed one suitcase into Bai Hao’s hands. “Is my room the same one as before?”
The housekeeper hastily pulled himself together, nodded and said, “Yes, at the end of the second floor corridor.”
Xue Ling pulled his luggage and headed over, even urging the Bai Hao that was still standing rooted to the spot. “Elder brother, what are you standing there foolishly for? Help me bring up the luggage first.”
Bai Hao gave him a meaningful look but unexpectedly said nothing, instead helping him carry the suitcase upstairs.
Old Master Bai lived on the first floor. When he heard the noise, he came out and saw his two grandsons cordially carrying the two suitcases upstairs. Although he was already used to strong winds and big waves, Old Master Bai was still surprised and looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper’s face was also complicated. He pointed to the two people’s backs and said, “The little young master seems to be a bit different.”
Old Master Bai’s expression was closed, and it wasn’t known what he was thinking, but suddenly he looked relieved. His older grandson already had complete control over Bai family, and although his younger grandson was not talkative, he had never done anything unexpected. The reason why the two had not been close before was because they had always ignored each other’s existence. If they started to grow closer now, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

With that in mind, the old man had a smile on his face as he told the housekeeper to start serving dinner, heading into the dining room by himself.
Bai Yue had only lived in this room whenever he came back for New Years, but because he called in the morning, the housekeeper had arranged for people to tidy it up. Even so, it was still only sparsely decorated, appearing more like a guest room with no resemblance to a master bedroom at all. Xue Ling didn’t mind, turning to send Bai Hao out after placing both suitcases in the room.
Young Master Bai frowned discontentedly as he looked at the room and said, “You plan to live here?”
Xue Ling wrinkled his brows, lips pursed as he answered, “What do you suggest? Is elder brother planning to give me his room?”
His sudden approach made Bai Hao a little uncomfortable; he wasn’t used to it. This kind of feeling as though someone had rushed into his territory was not very good. He frowned and stepped back before saying, “You never call me elder brother.”
Xue Ling blinked, a smile still present on his face. “Probably because there is a favour to ask of others, so it’s better to be more well behaved.” He stepped through the door, paused at the doorway and looked back with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with innocence. “Could it be that you won’t let me call you elder brother?”
His eyes were as light colored as his hair, and looked particularly soft under the lights. The tear moles at the corners of his eyes moved as he laughed. That pair of eyes were clearly evil, but this man was just like a little angel. Bai Ho’s eyes darkened as he shook his head and said, “No. I am indeed your elder brother.”

“Fine, let’s not get hung up over this.~” Xue Ling did not look at him anymore. It took a certain amount of skill to hug a big thigh, and right now he had already used a little cleverness to make a good impression. He would need to slowly build up goodwill later. “It smells really good, what delicious things are for dinner tonight?”
Bai Hao followed him outside, laughing as he answered. “The housekeeper heard that you were coming back to have dinner and made the kitchen cook a lot of good things. He didn’t know what you like, so he made more than usual.”
This was the first time that Xue Ling saw Bai Hao smile. Bai Yue had few memories of his brother. He vaguely remembered that this man was serious in speech and manner. It was unexpected that it would be so easy to interact with him, but this was good news for him. Without saying anything more, Bai Yue went downstairs in great spirits.
