Chapter Index
    Talk about what? Song Xi asked flatly. The two brothers sat in the car, the atmosphere strange, but no longer as tense as before.

    Song Xi tilted his head slightly to look outside, a smile on his lips, unlike before when he would bristle at the sight of Song Muhanchen.

    Song Muhanchen’s fingers rested on the steering wheel, rubbing it unconsciously, his eyes glancing at the rearview mirror. Someone in the entertainment industry bullied you… He paused. Why didn’t you say?

    Because of Yan Ye’s words, Song Muhanchen investigated for a week. After confirming that Song Xi had indeed been oppressed by a small celebrity, an inexplicable anger surged in Song Muhanchen’s heart.

    It was also at that time that he suddenly recalled some things from his childhood that he couldn’t quite remember clearly. It seemed Song Xi had also protected him when he was little.

    Bullied? Song Xi’s thoughts drifted, wondering what Song Muhanchen was talking about. After a few seconds, he said casually, If I told you, would you stand up for me?

    When he first entered the entertainment industry, his father only told him not to cause trouble outside and not to tell anyone he was from the Song family. But to tell them if he was bullied? That hadn’t happened!

    Song Xi shook his head and continued looking outside.

    Song Muhanchen was stumped by this question. He couldn’t help but think of himself at that time and was instantly unable to argue. He could only look at the rearview mirror and say to Song Xi in a solemn tone, From now on, the Song family will be your backing. If you need anything, you can tell me.

    Just as he finished speaking, Song Xi burst into laughter, tears streaming from his eyes. He wiped his eyes and sneered, Song Muhanchen, are you crazy?

    Song Muhanchen’s expression didn’t change much, but his eyes were annoyed, and he said somewhat angrily, I’m not crazy. Believe it or not, Xue Xuan bullied you before, and I will make sure he can never work in the entertainment industry again in his life.

    As he said the last part, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. Handling a small celebrity was as simple as dealing with an ant to Song Muhanchen.

    Just an artist. Just leak some rumors to their company, saying that person offended him, and the company boss, in order not to offend someone, would just freeze them out.

    And for an actor, being frozen out is a very cruel thing.

    Song Xi curved his lips, his eyes filled with cold indifference. He wasn’t a saint and wouldn’t plead for Xue Xuan, but he also wouldn’t thank Song Muhanchen for suddenly helping him.

    Song Muhanchen didn’t get a response and frowned, saying, Do you want to switch companies? I have a college classmate, he also runs an entertainment company…

    I need to get off. Song Xi interrupted him directly before he could finish speaking, his eyebrows full of impatience.

    He hated anyone who tried to break him and Yan Ye apart, no matter who they were or what their intentions were. Song Xi was in no mood to listen to Song Muhanchen anymore.

    The car door was opened by Song Xi. Song Muhanchen’s words stopped, and he instinctively reached out to grab him. Listen to me first. My classmate runs an entertainment company. If you sign with his company, what kind of resources wouldn’t you have?

    As Song Muhanchen was speaking, he didn’t notice the shadow cast before his eyes. Song Xi, who was struggling to leave, stopped his movements.

    Song Muhanchen’s heart filled with joy, thinking Song Xi had listened. If you don’t have money for the liquidated damages, I can give it to you?

    Yan Ye raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Song Xi, who was shaking his head hastily like a little rabbit.

    Yan Ye rubbed his head, his warm voice carrying a hint of coldness. Does Mr. Song mean that our Lehua’s resources are not as good as your classmate’s company’s resources?

    Hearing Yan Ye’s voice, the fingers gripping Song Xi’s arm suddenly relaxed. Song Muhanchen looked up, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue.

    Song Xi quickly walked to Yan Ye’s side and stood there, his voice full of disdain. I’m not going to his classmate’s company, I only want to be in your company.

    Yan Ye heard this and smiled silently, then raised one eyebrow to look at the male lead Song, who was holding his head.

    The male lead wants to steal people from his side now? It’s too late.

    Song Muhanchen got out of the car, wanting to speak, but felt dizzy. In a daze, he heard a voice say, He seems to be asleep?

    Song Muhanchen, … What the heck asleep.

    Another mature voice said calmly, He’s fainted, seems to have heatstroke. Let’s call an ambulance for him!

    Ah? His body is really weak. Is there something wrong with him?

    The heartless conversation almost woke up Song Muhanchen, who had collapsed but still retained a bit of consciousness, from anger.

    Song Xi waited until the ambulance arrived, handed the person over to the nurse, and then left.

    When he finally left, he thoughtfully sent a message to Song Mother.

    [Your weak son fainted and is now being taken to the hospital by ambulance.]

    After sending the message, Song Xi thought for a moment, then was added to Song Mother’s blacklist again.

    Okay, let’s go eat! Song Xi said with a smile, secretly hooking Yan Ye’s finger with his pinky.

    In the hospital, Song Muhanchen woke up less than an hour after being admitted. Just as he was about to ask the nurse who had brought him, he heard a familiar voice calling his name anxiously.

    Xiaohan, Xiaohan, how are you? Are you okay? Song Mother’s eyes turned red at the sight of her son looking weak, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

    Song Muhanchen could only comfort her first. When the nurse came in to change the IV drip, he asked, Excuse me, who brought me to the hospital?

    The nurse paused her action of changing the IV drip. Because she was dealing with a patient, her tone was especially gentle. Sir, you fainted on the roadside. At that time, a kind citizen helped you call the ambulance.

    Kind citizen? Song Muhanchen frowned. Didn’t he come to the hospital with the ambulance?

    How could that be? How could Song Xi not be worried about him at all? Could it be that his childhood memories were inaccurate?

    No. The nurse shook her head and continued her work. She was also in a hurry to change the medication for the patient in the next ward.

    After the nurse left, Song Mother asked about the matter. You were perfectly fine, why did you get heatstroke?

    Song Muhanchen shook his head perfunctorily, not wanting to talk about the matter anymore. After eating an apple peeled by Song Mother, he asked curiously, Mom, were my relationship with Song Xi good when I was little?

    Song Mother pulled up a chair and sat by his bed, looking at her son with affection. Good, you two had a very good relationship when you were little, almost inseparable.

    Is that so? Song Muhanchen said, unsure. His childhood memories were too vague.

    Song Mother also recalled the past, her eyes gentle. When you were little, your brother was naughty, and you were introverted. You followed your brother wherever he went. I wish your brotherly relationship could be as good as it was when you were little again.

    Hearing this, an unnatural expression flashed across Song Muhanchen’s face. Since he followed his brother wherever he went, why did Song Xi get lost?

    Mom, I… Song Muhanchen’s throat tightened, and he found it difficult to say the word.

    What’s wrong? Song Mother asked worriedly when she saw him hesitant to speak.

    Nothing, I just wanted to ask why my brother got lost when he was little? Song Muhanchen let out a soft breath, a sense of unspeakable relief in his heart.

    Song Mother suddenly started wiping away tears, regretting it immensely. There were a lot of people at the amusement park at that time. You saw that your brother had a mask and you wanted one too. Your brother wanted to give you his, but you didn’t want it. Mom had no choice but to hold you and go buy a new one, so we told your brother to wait for us at the original spot, and then…

    As she spoke the latter part, Song Mother was already sobbing uncontrollably. And Meng Zhou, who was standing outside the door, saw the look of disbelief in Song Muhanchen’s eyes in the hospital room and his heart sank. He then heard Song Muhanchen’s voice bitter, So, I was the culprit for this?

    Song Mother, who had buried her head in the hospital bed, wiped away her tears upon hearing this and comforted him, It wasn’t you, it was Mom, Mom wasn’t good.

    Song Muhanchen felt a bit like collapsing inside, gritting his teeth and asking, Why didn’t you tell me sooner?

    Xiaohan, listen to Mom explain, Mom…

    Muhanchen, I’m here to see you! Meng Zhou spoke up in time, grabbing Song Muhanchen’s hand with the IV drip, frowning, then immediately relaxing his brow, turning to Song Mother and saying softly, Auntie, you should go back and rest first. I’ll look after Muhanchen here.

    If the mother and son stayed together like this any longer, they might end up arguing.

    He was Song Muhanchen’s fiancé and had heard Song Muhanchen talk about his mother’s prejudice against Song Xi.

    Song Mother was a very contradictory person. Song Muhanchen also noticed this. While his mother seemed to feel guilty towards Song Xi, she also held strong prejudices against him.

    From their past interactions, it became clear that his mother always managed to cause Song Xi to be scolded by his father.

    Song Mother still wanted to stay, but Song Muhanchen said to her in a very cold tone, Mom, you go back first. I want to be alone.

    He needed to be alone very much right now.

    All these years, how had he been able to live so comfortably with all this? If he had known that Song Xi’s disappearance was his fault, would he not have ignored him like that when Song Xi was first recognized back? Would he even have seen him as an enemy?

    Song Muhanchen let out a self-mocking laugh from his throat, raised his hand to cover his face. At this moment, he felt he had no face to see Meng Zhou, and no face to see Song Xi again.

    Right, he had even said such things to Song Xi today. It was truly laughable…

    Don’t be like this, it’s not just your fault. Meng Zhou comforted him gently, pulling down his hand.

    Song Muhanchen stared blankly at the ceiling, his voice lifeless. But, it was because of me? If I had been more obedient at that time, this wouldn’t have happened.

    From the information he investigated, Song Xi wouldn’t have gone to the orphanage, and wouldn’t have dropped out of school to save tuition fees for another child.

    And all of this, it was him, he was the culprit.

    Song Muhanchen was filled with self-reproach. Meng Zhou watched him in distress but couldn’t do anything but hold him and comfort him softly.

    Meanwhile, the casting for all the actors in Wolf Child was finished. Huang He notified all actors to join the crew three days later, the location being in a primeval forest.

    Song Xi was already reluctant to leave Yan Ye before he even left. He looked at him eagerly, then hesitated to speak, until Yan Ye waved his finger in front of his eyes, and only then did he reveal a relieved smile.

    Wearing the ring meant he belonged to him.

    The day before joining the crew, Song Xi and his manager went to find Director Huang to discuss the matter online. Their company’s side was waiting to see if Director Huang was willing to make the actor list public. If he was willing, they would also hire internet trolls in advance to drown out the negative comments.

    After much deliberation, Huang He refused to disclose the actor list, wanting to keep the suspense for the netizens.

    With no set photos released yet, netizens could only guess. Most were unsure if Song Xi was really the lead actor in Wolf Child.

    After separating from the director, Song Xi and Qiao Xin left together. No one expected something to happen right outside the restaurant door.

    Song Xi, be careful…
