The guests at the scene looked brightly at him, while Shen Xingsui himself was a little nervous. He couldn’t be as natural as Shen Xingchen. When calling at this time, he was worried that his mother would be disturbed, and that she would be annoyed. It was… a kind of subconscious fear of him. 

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Xu Enzhen’s voice sounded again, completely different from the impatient tone just now, smiling and gentle: “Is it Suisui?”

Shen Xingsui responded softly.

“It’s really you, Suisui. Mom thought she heard it wrong. Why did you wake up so early?” Xu Enzhen proactively asked in a doting tone, “Have you had breakfast?” 

Shen Xingsui replied honestly, “No.”

After hesitating for a while, now seemed to be a better time to ask.

Shen Xingsui held the phone, licked his lips, and asked boldly, “Well, Mom, I’m indeed recording a show. Actually, I want to ask, can you…” 

Before he finished speaking, Xu Enzhen had already taken the lead, “Recording the show so early and not having breakfast?  How can this be okay for your body? The director is so shameful! Don’t be afraid Suisui, just say what you want to eat. Mom will go to the plane now and take your breakfast there.” 

“….?” 

While Shen Xingsui hoped that his mother would agree, he didn’t expect that his mother seemed to take it so seriously. He was afraid his mother would really board a plane right now, so he had to set the records straight. “Well, uhm, Mom. Actually, it’s fine, really. No need to do that! It’s still before dawn, so you should continue to sleep. Plus, you still need to book a plane ticket, and travelling will take too much time. I’m really fine, the program crew will provide me with meals.” 

“What kind of air ticket? We have a private jet at home.” Xu Enzhen said boldly, “Mom is not sleepy, she usually gets up at this time!”

Shen Xingchen, who was next to his brother: “??” 

His confused expression and widened eyes seemed to put the word doubt directly on his forehead.

The audience in the live broadcast loved this kind of hilarious scene: 

[My tummy hurts! I’m still rolling on the floor!!]

[(Shen Xingchen, are you itchy for a spanking? It’s so early in the morning that you don’t let people sleep) vs. (Mom is not sleepy, she usually wakes up at this time)]

[(Breakfast? I’ll give you a slap, do you want it?) vs. (Don’t be afraid Suisui, just say what you want to eat.)] 

[Hahahaha, the double-standards!!]

[What kind of tragedy is this?]

[Although the main point should be that these two seem to be biological brothers, but sisters, I really just want to laugh hahaha.]

Shen Xingsui felt sorry for his mother, and just as he was about to say something, he didn’t expect Xu Enzhen to get up and knock on Shen Minglang’s room. Then, she immediately woke him up and asked about his private jet. 

The still-sleepy Shen Minglang heard that his mother wanted to go to Taohuawu Town, and said impatiently: “Shen Xingchen won’t starve to death, Mom, you’re making too much of a fuss.”

Xu Enzhen pointed to the phone and said, “It’s not him, it’s Suisui.”

“Suisui?” Shen Minglang’s tone changed, and after a while of silence, he said, “If you transfer the plane to go there now, you can arrive at noon at the earliest.” 

Shen Xingchen: “???”

He widened his eyes and stared at the phone.

The audience in the live broadcast room were even happier:

[Hahaha! Is Xingchen a stray dog you pick up or something?]

[LaughingCrazily.jpg]

[The Young Master’s status in the family is in crisis!] 

[Hahahaha, the double-standard scene of a rick family!]

Shen Xingsui said in a panic, “No! Mom, Dage, listen to me. This is what the director tasked me to do. Thank you for agreeing, I’ve passed the task now. So I can have breakfast later.” 

Xu Enzhen’s voice seemed to be a little regretful after hearing this: “Is that so?”

Shen Xingsui responded softly. There was a gentle smile in his eyes. He was very grateful for their enthusiasm for wanting to give him the best. “That’s right, thank you Mom.”

Shen Minglang coughed lightly beside the phone, as if he was about to say something along the lines of ‘my sense of presence is negligible, huh’. He purposefully made his voice louder as he said, “Call home in time if you encounter any problems during the recording of the program over there.”

The smile in Shen Xingsui’s eyes deepened, and he responded with a crisp voice, “Understood, thank you, Dage.”

The phone conversation ended with a hang-up tone. The surrounding area was still very quiet, and everyone seemed to look at him with deep meaning. That kind of look was very complicated, but there was no hostility.

Shen Xingchen was the first to jump: “Suisui, don’t listen to the nonsense of Mom and Dage, that plane will arrive at night at the earliest, so breakfast will not be delivered at all!”

Shen Xingsui: “Huh?” 

“Really, will I lie to you?” Shen Xingchen grabbed Shen Xingsui’s shoulder, “So I’m the one you can rely on at critical moments! Don’t count on their smooth talk!” 

Shen Xingsui stopped and moved closer to him when he heard this. In the end, he could only nod in an absent-minded fashion. 

The development was unexpected. It was peak comedy for the audience.

[I thought he would get angry, but instead he started fighting for Suisui’s favor.]

[Shen Xingchen, why are you like this!]

[So he’s really Suisui’s Erge?]

[Hahaha, I remembered yesterday that you netizens laughed at him for being stingy and petty! And he proved you all he can inherit tens of billions of wealth from a wealthy family while you can’t~] 

[Suisui, you hide it so deeply!]

Shen Xingsui hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “That…the mobile phone?”

Fu Jinxiao stretched out his hand and said, “Give it to me.”

Shen Xingsui obediently handed it to the actor.

Fu Jinxiao also thought it over carefully about who to call. His father was away for a business trip so he didn’t want to bother him. Both of his maternal and paternal grandparents shouldn’t be woken up at this time, so he wouldn’t disturb them. After much deliberation, he finally called Li Na.

After the call was connected, Li Na’s threatening voice came from the other side. With was quite frightening, “You better call at this hour because of something important, this is my golden beauty sleep time!”

Fu Jinxiao immediately smiled, “I’m recording for a reality show.”

“A reality show?” Li Na was stunned. After a brief moment of silence, she changed to a sweet voice, “Ah, hello for all the audience~ I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t mind me just now, hehe~”

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn’t help laughing:

[My mother-in-law is so cute!]

[Oh dear, another delusional one has joined in the ranks.]

[Hahahaha, I finally know who gave Fu-ge‘s face-changing speed.]

Fu Jinxiao has gotten used to his mother’s personality, and so he went straight to the point:, “I’m recording a show, but the show crew doesn’t give me food. Can you come over and bring me breakfast?”

“Breakfast?” Li Na complained in reflex, “Which program group dare not give you food? Are you teasing your old lady?”

Fu Jinxiao: “…”

Li Na finally fully woken up, and she remembered something, “Wait, you’re recording ‘Bright Stars’ right? I remember that Suisui should be there. Is he with you?” 

Fu Jinxiao glanced at Shen Xingsui, who was in front of him, “Mm. Yes.” 

“Have Suisui eat?” Li Na sighed as she complained, “It’s not easy for Suisui, but he can’t be hungry. He’s not in good health. Does your program team really not give you food? Ask Suisui what he likes to eat. I’ll send it over. I’ll just take our family’s private plane so I’ll arrive soon.” 

Fu Jinxiao was rarely silent. This time he was completely speechless.

Shen Xingsui who heard this furiously blushed. He couldn’t hold back, and said softly, “Auntie, don’t worry, I already have breakfast.” 

Li Na was relieved, “You and Xingchen have eaten then? Then that’s good. Auntie can rest assured!”

Fu Jinxiao: “…”

The melon-eaters in the live broadcast room this morning were blown away:

[Hahaha, I didn’t expect there to be such a sequel to this development!] 

[Why does Fu-ge‘s mother care about Suisui and Xingchen?]

[Upstairs, I heard that the relationship between the two families has always been very good!]

[I really laughed until my jaw fell off.]

[Our Suisui is really the favorite of the group!]

Of course, some more sensitive viewers and fans sniffed out something:

[Auntie’s tone, I always feel like she is treating Suisui like… you know, her prospective daughter-in-law?]

[Yes, yes, yes!]

[Don’t think too much, just take it as-is.]

[Plus, she mentioned Xingchen too.]

[I hope it was that way but…] 

In the end, since Li Na agreed to Fu Jinxiao’s request, he was declared as passing the task. Then the phone was passed to the next person, which was Anran.

Because of this hilarious phone call event, the popularity of the live broadcast room reached 350 million cumulative online users for the first time at 5 o’clock in the morning. This was an unprecedented number, to the point it paralyzed the barrage screen. The sun hasn’t risen, and yet, several hot searches have already been posted:

#ShenXingsuiIsReallyFromShenFamily# 

#FamilialDoubleStandards#

#ShenXingchen’sREALCompetition#

#FutureMomIsVeryHappy#

In just one hour, all the top searches were dominated by “Bright Stars”. This reality show has truly been at the forefront of popularity since it started airing. And now, as more and more people wake up, the ratings of the program are still rising, and more and more viewers are participating in the discussion.

After Anran got the phone, he dialed his father’s number, and Jian Kuo answered.

Jian Kuo’s voice in the morning was also a little impatient, “Hey, Ranran, what’s the matter?”

Anran tentatively said: “Dad, I’m recording a show. I haven’t had breakfast yet. Can you come and bring me breakfast?” 

“Breakfast?” Jian Kuo hesitated for a moment, a little suspicious of the situation, “Isn’t this something the crew arranged for you?” 

Anran responded, his voice was soft and fragile, the kind that would make people feel pity just by hearing it, “Dad, can you send it to me?” 

Jian Kuo was silent for a moment, and just when everyone thought he would agree, he said, “Okay, I’ll ask my driver to go to the airport now. I’ll buy the plane ticket.” 

“…”

Anran twitched his lips uncontrollably for a moment.

Not only him, but others also pursed their lips and smiled, with a hint of malicious fun and  sarcasm.

We all know how high-profile Anran and the Jian family used to be, especially Jian Zhi, who was also in the entertainment circle. When “Starlight” was being recorded, everyone in the training camp envied Anran, and the whole network was also blowing how much the Jian family loves this child. But today, the comparison only made it look… fake. 

Some people in the live broadcast room couldn’t help being amused:

[One of them was directly delivered by a private jet, and the other wanted to buy a plane ticket.]

[Hahaha, one of them will come immediately, while the other will assign a driver to do the job.] 

[Wait, isn’t the Jian family also rich?]

[Rich families are also divided into grades. As someone who understands a little bit, I can say responsibly that the Jian family is indeed no match for the Shen’s and Fu’s.] 

[Hahaha, although they both agreed, but I think Anran lost in comparison.] 

The guests finished calling their relatives. In summary, basically they all pass the task. 

The director asked the staff to bring breakfast over, but the richness of the breakfast was divided into grades. For example, Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao, who guessed the password, got a luxurious breakfast, which was very rich. There were a variety of choices such as delicate xiaolongbao, steamed bun dumplings, various crepes and pancakes. 

In comparison, all Shen Xingchen had for breakfast was a bowl of millet porridge served with two flatbreads and a small bowl of pickles.

When eating, Shen Xingchen sat at a table not far away. Shen Xingsui took a few things from his own table and said softly, “Let’s eat together.” 

Shen Xingchen bit his flatbread in surprise, “Didn’t the director forbid you from sharing your breakfast?” 

“No.” Shen Xingsui smiled at him a little slyly, and lowered his voice, “If we eat half of both our portions, it’s not considered a gift, at most it’s called equal share.”

Shen Xingchen smiled and nodded Shen Xingsui, “You kid, you have learned a lot recently!”

Shen Xingsui put the noodle soup he brought in front of his brother, and put the meat and chicken legs in front of him. “Eat quickly, you didn’t eat well yesterday.”

Shen Xingchen was really hungry, so he immediately threw down the millet porridge and started eating noodles.

Shen Xingsui next to him was eating steamed stuffed buns in small bites. Finally, when Shen Xingchen finished eating half of his bowl, he belatedly reacted, “Where’s your portion of meat? You don’t want to eat it?” 

“I ate it too.” Shen Xingsui handed him the meat bun, “This one also has meat in it.”

Shen Xingchen took a closer look with squinty eyes. No matter how much meat there was in the bun, it was just a small portion. How could it be compared with chicken drumsticks? As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered a scene like this in the past. 

Shen Xingsui had always cared for him. No matter what it was, be it staying up all night and squatting in the training room to help him guard the door and time. In the dormitory, points would always be deducted for beds and quilts, so Shen Xingsui was always the one paying, silently helping him deal with the aftermath of his reckless points spending.

Shen Xingchen pursed his lips, raised his hedgehog head proudly, and hummed, “I will definitely complete the task and win the victory at noon today, and then I will take you to eat two chicken legs.”

Shen Xingsui smiled softly and nodded. “Okay, you are the best.”

Shen Xingchen was dissatisfied: “What are you calling me again? You’re younger and I’m older. Call me ge!”

“…”

Childish.

Although Shen Xingsui complained in his heart, he still spoiled him, and called softly: “Ge.”

Shen Xingchen showed a bright smile, but still glanced at the camera, as if he wanted to brag to his mother and elder brother. Like fighting for favor, he cleared his throat and said: “Okay, since you recognize me as the boss so sincerely, I will definitely take you to eat as much as you want in the future!” 

Shen Xingsui didn’t know what to say, “Thank you then.”

Only then was Shen Xingchen satisfied and continued eating.

The audience in the live broadcast room were amused and moved after witnessing the whole process:

[Actually, I was worried that the double-standard scene would make Xingchen feel uncomfortable.]

[But Suisui is really an angel, he is so kind.]

[Thank you Suisui for taking care of our Chen-ge‘s feelings, I really became your fan!]

[These two brothers are so touching…]
