Xue Ling had arranged to meet with the singers and other people from the channel attending the festival pretty late. They agreed to meet behind the stalls behind their channel’s booth in the area set aside for the vendor staff. Some of the singers were very famous, and had many fans. They had finally decided to meet there to prevent the group from being recognized and gather a crowd. There were also some extra goods that the vendors had placed there for storage.
Everyone here was involved in the circle in some way. In fact, most of them had common topics, so Xue Ling and Mu Sichao quickly joined the conversation. The two of them had been discussing each other’s preferences and hobbies through the whole trip and discovered that they truly were brothers. Regardless of whether it was the singers they liked, or equipment they preferred, or even the artists they used—they were all similar. As brothers, the two of them truly felt a bit of joy and regret in this moment.

Su Wenjun had a cold expression on his face throughout the whole journey. He had no way to cut into their conversation. Wen Ruoyi also attempted to speak several times, but was blocked by Xue Ling even before he could speak. Finally, he settled for concentrating on driving and no longer tried to disturb the youth and his elder brother’s budding relationship.
A City was relatively big, even in the scope of the entire country. There was a full scale stadium with so many stalls that one glance was not enough to take them all in. The line to enter was also really long. Although—compared to early in the morning—the line was a bit shorter by the time Xue Ling and his group arrived, the queue was still quite long.
Xue Ling woke up late, and had only drunk a glass of water before going out so that he wouldn’t be late. Now that he had to queue up, he rubbed his stomach aggrievedly as he felt a little hungry.
Right then, Wen Ruoyi was just like an angel as he handed a box over. “I guessed that you would skip breakfast, so I brought this for you.” He opened the box. It contained several different flavors of steamed buns. “I brought it with me when I left the house. Hurry up and eat, or it’ll get cold.”
Xue Ling obediently took a bite out of the steamed bun, and drank a mouthful of milk from the drink the man handed over. He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
Mu Sichao came up to Su Wenjun and whispered in his ear. “I told you earlier. Wen Ruoyi doesn’t like me. If he liked me, I wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing since he would definitely help me with everything.”
Su Wenjun had already taken all of this in. He grasped Mu Sichao’s hand and asked, “Does professor want me to do the same? I can also learn how to cook…”

Mu Sichao turned his head to look at him. When he met with his gaze that was full of anticipation, he thought about what Su Wenjun had cooked last time. He smiled slightly and said, “No need. Your professor can do things like cooking for us.”
Su Wenjun was a little dissatisfied. “Is professor saying that the things that I make are inedible?”
“You also know it’s inedible. Be good and stop making a fuss. Your professor is someone with independent life experience. I don’t need you keep me in your embrace and lavish care on me.” Mu Sichao smiled as he touched his student’s head.
“…” Su Wenjun raised his hand and pointed silently to the two men in front of him. One was feeding, and the other was eating, and they looked like they were in a state of love and bliss. “According to professor’s words, your brother will soon… become unable to take care of himself?”
Mu Sichao glanced at the two men in front of him and spoke calmly, “One will only know the joys and sorrows of experiences they have gone through themselves. I’m not Simu, and I don’t have the right to make decisions for him. He seems to be comfortable this way, and there’s no need for me to say much. Let alone, I know what kind of person Ruoyi is. As soon as he has decided on a person, he will treat them wholeheartedly. Since they chose each other, I respect their choice.”
Although he was Ning Simu’s elder brother, at the end of the day, he was only a brother.
They had only just begun to get to know each other. He could sense that Ning Simu was tentatively feeling him out. He had not asked too much about how Ning Simu had lived these years out of fear of accidentally touching upon things that Ning Simu did not want to recall. Fortunately, even though Ning Simu seemed to have grown up alone, he had come out quite well. Since he was already doing so well, Mu Sichao, as a person who had not been involved in his developmental years, was not qualified to judge his emotional life.
That was the most private thing between the two of them. He could only silently support them from the background. If there was anything he had to do, it would be to simply keep quiet.

Su Wenjun looked at Ning Simu who had just finished eating and was now giving Wen Ruoyi all kinds of attitude, and quietly thought to himself that it was a good thing the person he liked was his professor, and not Ning Simu. He wouldn’t be able to stand Ning Simu’s strange temper…
However, if he wanted to be a qualified lover, he absolutely could not make his professor have to pay out any price or endure anything he didn’t want to. He also wanted to help his professor, and also wanted to let him show such a carefree expression…
It would be better to be like those two in front of him. He also wanted to be tied together with professor online, and make it so that the fans who liked to root for various CPs would shut up…
Alas… If only his professor wasn’t so good at flirting…
But if his professor didn’t flirt, he wouldn’t be his professor… And perhaps they would not have met and ended up together…
The two couples were immersed in each other, and time passed especially quickly. Very soon, it was the four’s turn to have their tickets checked and they officially entered the festival area. Xue Ling opened up his cell phone and signed into QQ. The people involved in today’s meet had already sent many photos into the group chat. Xue Ling found the booth number they had mentioned before and began to look for the booth based on the guide map in the entrance area.

Some people in the group had already gotten impatient with him several times, calling for him to get out of bed and attend the festival. Xue Ling handed the task of finding the booth to Wen Ruoyi, held his hand to let him lead him along, and then bowed his head to continue answering people in the group.
[ Twilight Darling: I’ve arrived. I’m looking for the booth. Don’t rush me~ ╮(╯▽╰)╭ ]
[ Don’t Leave In April: Darling, hurry hurry~ We secretly withheld the little gifts from the boss (*^__^*) and saved you several copies~ ]
[ Dark Clouds: I’m hurt. Sister April, why didn’t you leave a few for me… QAQ ]
[ Don’t Leave In April: Go away, I’m gifting them to Darling! ]
[ Twilight Darling: Is it a gift for our first meeting? I guess you’ll need more copies. I have three people with me. Is it okay to bring family members? ]
[ Suzaku: Did Darling bring Gentleman over? ]

[ Time-lapse: ∑(っ°Д°;)っ!!! You’re bringing family members! Isn’t enough that you’re showing off your love normally? You even bringing him here to show off in front of us (>﹏<) How will the single dogs live! ]
[ Malt Candy: Darling, you’ve changed! We agreed that we would be best friends for the rest of our lives, and the first to enter a relationship would be a dog!! ]
[ Don’t Leave In April: Darling wants to say that it’s fine to be a dog as long as he has Gentleman. Who wants to be best friends with you ～o(￣ヘ￣o＃) ]
[ Twilight Darling: Well, Gentleman was brought along as an afterthought. I brought His Majesty here. Everyone should prepare to kneel down and shout ‘long live’! ]
[ Cool Wind: Sure enough, Gentleman came… Although His Majesty also came… Darling, I never thought that you were this kind of person ⊙▽⊙ ]
