Ye Xian: "Mom and Dad, you really need to deal with Big Brother; he has no respect for my privacy, eavesdropping on my calls and even trying to snoop through my phone!"
Ye Shaowen: "I’m your brother, what’s wrong with checking your phone? Unless you’ve got something shady in there!"
"Something shady in my phone? I think the shady one is you! Don’t think I don’t know about the dozens of small stars and scores of models’ numbers in your phone, constantly gallivanting about, tarnishing the Ye Family’s good name, and you have the nerve to criticize me!"
"What gallivanting? That’s called networking. Plus, I emerged unscathed from the mire of temptations, unlike you, who gets obsessed with a guy and clings on for dear life with no turning back!"
"Pah! You call that being unscathed? You’re trash!"
The verbal sparring between the two sounded like a comedy routine, giving Father Ye and Mother Ye a headache until they finally intervened to mediate.
"Xianxian, just show your phone to your Big Brother. If there’s nothing fishy, Shaowen, you will delete all those dodgy women’s contact info from your phone," they said.
"Mom, how can you describe them as dodgy?"
Ye Shaowen scratched his ear, and with Ye Xian sure he wouldn’t part with them, she scoffed, "Forget it, I’m the bigger person here, I will just..."
Ye Shaowen: "I agree!"
Ye Xian: "..." A real rare specimen on Earth: a super scumbag! How could Mom and Dad give birth to a god-like elder brother of impeccable character and then a debauched scoundrel like Big Brother?
Fortunately, she had a backup plan.
Ye Xian took out her phone and opened the call log, which displayed unmistakably—Werewolf?
Just as Ye Shaowen was about to delve into the details, Ye Xian snatched the phone away, "Who else but my agent? I was just discussing upcoming schedules with him. He told me I’ve been doing quite well recently, which is why I was laughing so happily. Who knows what nonsense you were thinking?"
Ye Shaowen: "..." Miscalculation!
Getting up to leave, Ye Shaowen found his path obstructed by Ye Xian’s foot and stumbled, face-planting onto the ground.
Amused, Ye Xian took his phone, tapped a few times, and handed it back to him, "Big Brother, consider this a lesson."
Ye Shaowen, not to be outdone, grabbed the phone, scoffing internally. Did she really think that deleting those models’ numbers would upset him? Not at all...
When he opened the contacts, he found none of the model numbers deleted. Instead, a mass text had been sent: "I have undergone gender reassignment surgery, dear sisters, it’s a farewell from the Itinerant World!"
"Here’s to our respected elder on this Mid-Autumn Festival!"
At the Bo Family house, the living room was bustling with people and filled with laughter, while it was quiet in the bedroom on the second floor. In the pitch-black room, one could only see the Golden Phoenix Feather Robe rippling through the light seeping in from the curtain.
Ye Xian’s performance was faintly audible in the background.
After seeing off the guests, Mr. Bo and Mother Bo were also tired.
"Junfeng, I’m going upstairs to rest," said Wen Yan, as she stretched her arms and proceeded to the second floor. Passing by her son’s bedroom, she suddenly heard a vague and hoarse voice... Ye Xian?
She perked up her ears, but the sound was gone.
Wen Yan rubbed her temples, figuring it must be a hallucination from hearing the fans call out Baby Xian at the concert earlier.
"Ye Xian is too funny, you all have to see this!"
"Hahaha, I literally can’t stop laughing."
"Seen it before? I’ve been revisiting the Mid-Autumn Festival gala, Ye Xian is really handsome!"
