The college entrance examination results of Si JunDuo were excellent, having the highest score of 746 in a science class since the establishment of No. 1 High School. Almost everyone thought that he would choose one of the two in Qingbei being the No. 1 after the college entrance examination. However, Si JunDuo chose neither. Instead, he applied for X University, the next best in the province for the simple reason of being close to home.

The Si family was stupefied. “There are obviously better choices. Why this university?” His parents asked, baffled.

Si JunDuo calmly replied, “They were unnecessary.”

“How is this unnecessary? Jun Jun, why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with the family!”

Upstairs, Wen Mingyi squatted as he peeked at the three people downstairs from the corridor. He silently lowered his head, listening to the regretful words of Si JunDuo’s father and mother.

He felt the reason was not other things, but him.

He recalled, during their small talks, he had once asked Si JunDuo, “ Ge , will you go to college in the future?”

“Maybe,” was Si JunDuo’s reply then.

Wen Mingyi was too young, shaking his legs dejectedly, and whispered, “All of you are leaving me. You don’t want me anymore.”

Those words were unexpected to Si JunDuo. He patted Wen Mingyi’s head and coaxed, “What nonsense, I can’t not want you.”

“Mom and Dad said the same, but they don’t come back now.” He looked at Si JunDuo with a little sadness in his beautiful eyes. He continued, “When you go to university, slowly you will also forget about me.”

Si JunDuo looked at the young boy in front of him, he was silent for a moment, and slowly hugged him onto his lap. He warmly said, “Then I won’t go.”

He smiled, holding the person in his arms, softly coaxing, “I will be with you as you grow up and keep watching over you.”

“Really?” Wen Mingyi’s mood lifted in instance.

He nodded. “Really. I won’t lie to you.”

Si JunDuo truly did not lie to him, but Wen Mingyi was puzzled. That was a long time ago. Even when Wen Mingyi told him to forget what he said, that it was better for him to go to Qingbei for studies, why did Si JunDuo still choose X University?

Wen Mingyi walked to Si JunDuo once his parents had returned to their rooms. “Are you not going to Qingbei because of me?”

Si JunDuo shook his head, denying. “I just think it is unnecessary.”

Wen Mingyi looked at him doubtfully. “Don’t think too much, it’s time to rest, go to sleep.” Si JunDuo smiled and pushed him up the stairs.

That night, Wen Mingyi could not fall asleep. He thought a lot — about his parents, about Si JunDuo.

He felt that he seemed to have become an invisible stress and burden upon Si JunDuo. Wen Mingyi was not even his blood brother, why should he bear the responsibility and pressure that did not belong to him.

With this guilt and contradiction, after the high school entrance examination, he entered a period of rebellion.

With absolutely no blood relations to Si JunDuo, he should not become a burden to him. He also resented Si JunDuo for being so kind to him, and even directed his resentment towards his parents to Si JunDuo.

He moved out of the Si household, rented a room near the school, and cut off all contact with Si JunDuo. Simple words like calling him “ Ge “, he never uttered anymore. From then on, it was either ignoring each other, or saying ugly words.

Once the college entrance examinations had finished, he saw that his city was having an audition for a talent show. He had suddenly thought that if he entered the entertainment circle and appeared in front of his father as a star, then what would his father’s expression be?

Would he be surprised?

Would he find it unthinkable?

Would his father take another look at him?

Of course Wen Mingyi knew that he had a hundred ways to enter the entertainment circle, and there was no need to use this way.

But he remembered what his father had said in an interview. He didn’t seem to like these idols from such talent competitions. He felt that those idols were only suitable for singing and dancing, but not for acting.

Wen Mingyi, who was in the rebellious phase during the Second Year, couldn’t help thinking, what if he found that his son had become one of those types of people he doesn’t like?

With this mentality, he participated in the competition, all the way through and bagged the first place in the show.

While standing on the stage, Wen Mingyi didn’t want to admit it, but he could feel that some things really fitted well.

When he saw himself on TV, he knew that he was a natural in front of the camera.

His expressiveness in front of the camera was far better than the other contestants in the competition.

After all, he was the son of Wen Wei and Zhao Wangyu.

Wen Mingyi poked the egg in the plate. If he was asked this question before his rebirth, without a doubt, he would reply to Si JunDuo that he wanted to grow in the entertainment industry.

But now, he even suspected that his rebellious period was caused due to the plot of the original book, forcing him to rebel.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been rebellious for three years. During these three years, he separated from Si JunDuo. Because of that, Si JunDuo got to know Jiang Zimo and was entangled in the emotional whirlpool between Jiang Zimo and Wen Bo.

Wen Mingyi sighed. Even if the original book forced him to rebel for so many years, he had accomplished so many things and entered into the entertainment circle. To give up just like that… he was somewhat reluctant.

He looked up and asked Si JunDuo, “What do you think?”

The Si JunDuo from three months before, would not hesitate to tell Wen Mingyi that he was still young. If he was interested in the entertainment industry, he should wait until graduation to advance into the entertainment industry. In any case, the Si family had money, the Wen family had resources. If Wen Mingyi wanted to play, he would not object.

However, this happened three months later.

Si JunDu looked at the young man in front of him. It was not easy having peace with Wen Mingyi over the past few days. He really didn’t want to make trouble with him anymore.

Since Wen Mingyi wants to enter the entertainment industry, he wouldn’t stop him. Although an 18 years old was still young, he was an adult indeed. Besides, with him around, even if the entertainment industry itself was not clean, Wen Mingyi should be fine.

“I will respect your wishes. If you want to continue to develop in the entertainment industry, I will not stop it, but I hope you would let me help you choose an entertainment company. After all, you are not short of money, and we are not expecting you to make money from filming, so I hope that the entertainment company you sign with will care more about you, and not how much money you make for them.”

Wen Mingyi nodded.

Si JunDuo breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. “That’s good then.”

“En.” Wen Mingyi smiled at him.

The two had a pleasant breakfast and went to the company together.

The reason why Si JunDuo asked him to come to the company was mainly to keep an eye on him and see if he really changed only at night. Thus, he let Wen Mingyi stay in his office.

Wen Mingyi saw that Si JunDuo got busy as soon as he entered the office. He was embarrassed to interrupt, feeling that he could not help much, he simply took out his mobile phone and started playing with it.

After Yang-jie had hung up the phone, she didn’t send him messages on WeChat anymore. However, several of his WeChat high school groups chatted happily, and the number on the little red dot kept increasing.

Wen Mingyi looked at the WeChat group of [One China’s Most Handsome Alliance] at the top, and tapped on it with some nostalgia.

There were only three people in this group. Lu Yunfei, Li Yuanqing and himself. Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing were friends he met in high school. After the college entrance examination, Lu Yunfei went north and Li Yuanqing went south, leaving him alone here.

Wen Mingyi still remembered that in the book, after he made his debut in a group, he slowly broke contact with the two of them.

Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing were confused, and had kept asking him why.

But at that time, he was just as rebellious as he was in high school, stubbornly not explaining or responding, in the end Lu Yunfei was so angry that he scolded him for a long time.

But still, after his death, Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing had come to see him and left a bunch of flowers in front of his grave.

The two of them didn’t know the truth, only knew that the driver who caused the accident had been arrested, and thought it was just the driver’s fault.

Si JunDuo kept mum. For him, Lu Yunfei was still young and a student at that. They didn’t need to know about those bad things; they just needed to grow well.

When Wen Mingyi read this passage at the time, he only felt that the figures of Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing were very scarce, and it seemed as if that they didn’t exist in the book.

Wen Mingyi froze.

Wasn’t that precisely the reason?

That was why, after his debut, he thought, “For a layman and celebrity to be friends, it is inevitable that one’s privacy will be exposed. Lu Yunfei was gay. If this was exposed, it would scare Lu Yunfei’s parents to death.” Hence, he had alienated Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing, just like how he ignored Si JunDuo at that time — no calls, no texts. He gave them a cold shoulder, as much as possible.

Thinking about it now, this must have been influenced by the original book. The Lu family and the Li family were not ordinary people. Jiang Zimo and Wen Bo, the protagonist, were already fighting with his ge in the book. Adding The Lu and The Li family, they would have definitely been beaten to the ground!

In order to reduce the difficulty, it was necessary to reduce the people around him.

His ge was the biggest villain, his part could not be decreased. His parents had to be kept to become Jiang Zimo’s godparents. Who else to get rid of other than his good friends!

Why would a vicious villain even need friends?

They deserved no friends!

That’s why he had to alienate Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing, and he never told Lu Yunfei and Li Yuanqing about Jiang Zimo and Wenbo. That was the reason they hardly exist in this book!

That’s right, there were barely any instances of the two in the book!

Their scenes added up to less than 100 words. It could be seen that the original book did not want to put such powerful foreign aid beside him!
