Chapter 5: Running to see other brothers
Qin Qi's eyes at that time were still floating in her mind. This old event suddenly came into her mind during her sleep.
She grabbed the phone and the caller was Xu Qingqing.
"What!? You guys, have already got the marriage certificate?"
Xu Qingqing was so excited that she stopped what she was doing, stared with eyes wide open, grabbed Kong Nanzhu's arm and shook it vigorously, "Finally! In my lifetime, one of the couples I've been supporting has finally come to fruition!"
Kong Nanzhu ignored Xu Qingqing's excitement and called Xu Qingqing to help with the move. She had too much stuff. Her cosmetics alone took up three large storage boxes. There were still many things left at Qin's house that had not been moved in. She couldn't pack them all in a day.
"You did a great job keeping it a secret. You didn't even tell me. You're marrying the youngest Best Actor on the Billboard Hot List. Don't you find it dreamy?"
As a fan, Xu Qingqing's envy was written all over her face.
"But you should be numb to it. After all, you two have lived together for so many years. Looking at a handsome guy like him every day, your aesthetics will get tired. Oh, when will I be able to marry my idol?"
"Which male god are you?"
Kong Nanzhu was concentrating on sorting her cosmetics. She had visited the new house before and applied to Qin Qi to reserve a separate study room as a live broadcast room. She planned to build herself a more professional shelf and make her live broadcast background warmer.
She really wasn't being mean, she just didn't know what to say.
Some fans stopped watching her live broadcasts after the novelty wore off because they didn't get a response from her for a long time.
Maybe changing the live broadcast background can give people a different feeling.
Xu Qingqing excitedly clicked on her phone screensaver, "Look, these brothers who just formed a group this year, the oldest is only 20 years old, so young."
Kong Nanzhu took a careful look at the photo, but he couldn't tell the difference between the five people with the same style and clothing.
"Are they, quintuplets?"
Xu Qingqing: “…”
"You can't finish packing these things in a short time. There is a street flash mob event in the afternoon. You can accompany me and help me put on dazzling makeup. It would be best if my male god could see me in the crowd at a glance!"
After working for more than an hour, the organization progress has only been completed into a rough classification. The storage boxes on the ground are still crooked, and many bottles and jars are tilted on the ground.
"But I have to live stream tonight, what if I can't finish it when I get back..."
"Your new home's living room is so big and beautifully decorated. You can just play it there for one night. Please, Nanzhu, I will come back tomorrow and work for you for free, okay?"
Seeing her looking at him pitifully with her hands clasped together and eager eyes, Kong Nanzhu chose to compromise.
After lunch, Kong Nanzhu was dragged by Xu Qingqing to Wukesong Square, where a group of fans were waiting on the roadside under the scorching sun with light boards.
Kong Nanzhu rarely goes out shopping, so she took the opportunity to put on some delicate makeup and change into an outfit suitable for a music festival. She took a few photos from a distance with the stage in the background, which she used as marketing material for her Weibo post.
Amid the screams of fans, Kong Nanzhu concentrated on editing the photo and posted it on the spot. However, she didn't expect that not long after her Weibo post was published, it was liked by the official Weibo account of the idol group that came to participate in the roadshow today.
"Oh my god, your sister likes the younger brother group too!"
"I'm here too! Miss, please meet me!"
Kong Nanzhu was a little confused when she saw the rapidly increasing number of likes and comments. She quickly searched the name of the group and found that the official Weibo account had 9 million followers. She didn't expect that this new idol group would be so popular. She thought Xu Qingqing was just starting another small 18th-tier group.
Kong Nanzhu took the opportunity to leave a message and @ the official Weibo, asking for an autographed photo. She really cares about her sisters.
Immediately, a staff member sent her a private message, saying that the autographed photo would be mailed within three working days and asked her to leave a delivery address. Kong Nanzhu directly left Xu Qingqing's address.
Xu Qingqing turned into a super fangirl, looking at her lucky star on her star-chasing journey with starry eyes, "Nannan, you are really an angel. It is my blessing to have you as my star-chasing partner in my eight lifetimes."
"Before I left, I specially prepared a little surprise for you. Just as a reward, I hope you and your spouse will be in harmony tonight."
Kong Nanzhu looked at her in confusion, but since Qin Qi was not going home tonight, she didn't take it to heart.
Qin Qi finished the magazine interview and returned to the nanny car. Assistant Xiao Liu handed him a cup of water and said, "Teacher Qin, Nanzhu went to participate in the roadshow. Look, her outfit today has become a hot topic!"
Qin Qi was originally leaning on the pillow wanting to rest, but he opened his eyes when he heard this, "What activity?"
Xiao Liu handed over the phone.
After reading the trending searches, Qin Qi sneered coldly, "Do today's idols even want to piggyback on the popularity of a beauty blogger with hundreds of thousands of fans?"
Xiao Liu whispered, "But their fans said that it was Sister Nanzhu who was trying to take advantage of their brother's popularity..."
Hearing the word "brother", Qin Qi's handsome eyebrows twitched reflexively. He clicked on the comment section and saw the message about Kong Nanzhu asking for an autographed photo.
When did her taste become so bad?
Like your younger brother?
You don’t like the ready-made ones, so you go and like this kind of plastic surgery face?
Qin Qi closed his eyes and put the phone on his knees. "Take me back to Lihua Garden."
Xiao Liu was puzzled. "Aren't you going to Changsha the night before? The flight tickets have been booked."
"Let's change the ticket and go tomorrow."
Zhang Di enjoyed picking fights. "That's right. We're newly married. It would be nice to spend one more night with my wife."
Qin Qi didn't say anything, and others thought he was going to sleep, so they stopped joking and disturbing him.
Everyone thought they were a perfect couple.
But Qin Qi knew in his heart that if it weren't for his parents' request, Kong Nanzhu would probably never develop any relationship with him beyond that of a brother and sister in this life.
She liked to please everyone in the Qin family, including him, with a flattering smile.
She treated him as family.
Just family.
This sense of an insurmountable boundary disgusted him.
When Qin Qi walked in, Kong Nanzhu was wearing her pink suspender nightgown with a furry cat ear headband on her head. She had just removed her makeup and was wiping the water droplets off her face with a face towel.
Kong Nanzhu: “…”
Why did this guy suddenly come back? "Aren't you going to Changsha to record a show?"
"Tomorrow."
There was no place to stand in the living room at the moment, so Qin Qi stood at the door, seemingly thinking about how to cross the line of fire and reach his bedroom.
Kong Nanzhu wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She knew that Qin Qi would not be at home for the next two days, so she was so reckless as to pile up all the things in the living room.
She used her hands and feet to make a path for him, and pushed the box of clothes aside. "I went out with Qingqing this afternoon, and I didn't finish sorting."
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows, "Which boy band does she like?"
Kong Nanzhu reacted and realized that he must have seen the trending search, "Hmm..."
"Did you ask for the autographed photo for her as well?"
Kong Nanzhu was embarrassed about the mess she had made in the house. She nodded absentmindedly and did not notice the relaxed look on Qin Qi's face.
She only cleared a corner of the living room for the live broadcast, and Qin Qi actually saw her sloppy side.
Who would want his newlywed wife to be so untidy!
"I didn't go into your room. It's clean."
Qin Qi hummed in a muffled voice, feeling a little unhappy with the clear boundaries she had drawn. He put one hand in his pocket, stretched out his long legs, stepped over the obstacles, and went back to his room to change his clothes.
Just as Kong Nanzhu breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Qi suddenly came back, picking up a storage hanger full of colorful underwear with one finger.
"What does this mean?"
Kong Nanzhu: “?!”
Her underwear!
