"Clam??"
"No, this is your first time appearing on the show, and you're letting me go?" Yan Shenyu said incredulously.
Yan Sheng retorted, "So you want me to keep this face?"
“Uh…” Yan Shenyu: “I can’t go, you and I don’t look alike.”
"Who said that?" Yan Sheng turned Yan Shenyu's face towards the mirror.
Yan Shenyu looked closely and was surprised to find that he and Yan Sheng had quite similar bone structure and facial features. It was only because their temperaments were completely different that they gave the illusion of not looking alike at all.
But that wasn't his reason for agreeing to do the live stream for Yan Sheng, especially since he felt that Yan Sheng's reasons were completely untenable.
In Yan Sheng's view, postponing the live broadcast might be a serious matter, but for Yan Shenyu, who has extensive experience in the entertainment industry, it's just a minor ripple. Looking back years later, it might not even cause a stir.
Even if postponing the live stream is serious, health should be the top priority compared to career.
Thinking of this, Yan Shenyu broke free from Yan Sheng's hand and stubbornly said, "I'll take you to the hospital."
After a long silence, Yan Sheng took a step back, pushed his hand away, and shook her head: "Forget it, you don't need to worry about me, I can handle it myself."
Yan Shenyu stared at Yan Sheng's swollen face, his voice somewhat cold: "Then what are you going to do about it?"
Yan Sheng pursed her lips and said, "I'll cover it up with makeup and turn the beauty filter up a bit."
"Your face is all swollen, and you still want to put on makeup?" Yan Shenyu's face darkened instantly, and her voice became serious. "Don't you want your face anymore?"
“It’s none of your business,” Yan Sheng said, picking up a bottle of foundation and sitting in front of the mirror. “Anyway, I’m going to do a live stream.”
Yan Shenyu didn't speak, but simply looked down at him coldly. Her eyes, which had been smiling, were now filled with seriousness and devoid of any warmth.
Yan Sheng's hand trembled slightly under his gaze, but she still stubbornly dripped foundation onto her hand. Just as the sponge was about to touch her cheek, a hand came from behind and forcefully took the sponge from her hand.
Yan Sheng looked up and met Yan Shenyu's cold face.
The next moment, a look of grievance appeared on that cold face.
Yan Shenyu suddenly changed her expression and accused in a soft voice, "All you do is bully me."
"Who...who bullied you?" Yan Sheng blushed a little, not expecting him to do this.
"Putting foundation on your face right in front of me, isn't that just taking advantage of the fact that I don't want you to wear makeup?" Yan Shenyu sighed and sat down in the chair. "Sigh, you're just taking advantage of my soft heart and my reluctance to let you wear makeup."
"Who's taking advantage of your reluctance!" Yan Sheng stood up angrily, her thin ears turning completely red. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Yan Shenyu had already opened her cosmetics and started applying makeup: "Let's make this clear first, I'm not cutting my hair, so you'll have to figure that out yourself."
Yan Sheng paused, trying to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth: "It's okay, I have a wig."
"What if I'm impersonating you and I get caught..."
"Don't worry," Yan Sheng said with a look of grim determination, "I will take full responsibility and it won't affect you in the slightest."
Yan Shenyu's lips twitched, but he calmly said, "No need to be so serious. I'll just tell them this is a prank."
Yan Sheng: "..."
...
Yan Sheng's live stream was scheduled for 10:00 AM. By 9:30 AM, the live stream room already had a signal, and fans began to enter. At 9:50 AM, "Yan Sheng" finally arrived late and appeared in front of the production team.
He wore a brand-new white shirt, with the top two buttons undone, revealing emerald jewelry and large expanses of fair skin underneath. His slightly long hair was tucked to one side behind his ear, revealing his smooth jawline, while the other side hung naturally beside his face, giving him a cool yet dashing air.
The live stream was directly opposite the lobby stairs, and unexpectedly, it captured such a stunning scene.
A young man descended the stairs with elegance and romance, as if he had stepped out of a movie. A group of netizens, drawn to his good looks, were instantly mesmerized.
【Ahhh!! Someone's coming down over there, is it Sheng Meiren coming out?】
[So handsome!! Sheng Meiren is beautiful, even a blurry silhouette is beautiful!]
【She's here! She's walking towards us!】
[Waaaaah!! Look at that perfect jawline! If I could lick it, I'd die happy!]
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Sheng Meiren looks so stunning today, it's almost blinding!
[It's a button! Because he unbuttoned two buttons!]
[I didn't even notice! Before, Sheng Meiren was practically buttoning her clothes up to her neck, but today she gave us such a huge treat.]
[Well, since I was assigned to the morning livestream slot, I'll definitely have to use my looks a little (just kidding)]
The staff on set were stunned. It wasn't until "Yan Sheng" walked down the stairs that the assistant director reacted and reminded her, "What are you standing there for? Get ready to start!"
The staff scattered like birds in an instant, inviting "Yan Sheng" into the prepared live broadcast background.
Those who came to watch Yan Sheng's live stream in the morning were all die-hard fans. When "Yan Sheng" appeared, they all started sending comments and gifts.
“No need to send gifts,” Yan Sheng adjusted the camera height and said casually, “Let’s just chat casually.”
Netizen: "How does it feel to be home?"
Yan Sheng: "It's alright, I've gained two pounds."
Yan Sheng, who was watching the live stream upstairs: ! !
Who gained weight? He actually lost a pound!
Netizen: "Does Sheng Meiren have any work plans recently?"
Hearing this question, Yan Sheng upstairs couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although he had given Yan Shenyu some instructions while she was getting her makeup done, he wasn't there and didn't know how she would handle it.
In the video, Yan Sheng calmly says, "Let's film the variety show first. As for what comes after that, we'll see what the company decides."
Netizen: "Did Sheng Meiren see Yan Shenyu? Couldn't you let her younger brother show up too?"
Before Yan Sheng could even speak, fans from both sides started arguing in the live chat.
Watching others in Yan Sheng's live stream... isn't that a bit inappropriate?
[Can Yan Shenyu's fans please shut up? If you don't want to watch, then get lost. Don't try to ride on our Sheng Meiren's popularity!]
[They're brothers, and this is a family variety show, what's wrong with taking a peek? Who knows, Yan Shenyu might even appear on your Sheng Meiren's variety show.]
[I'm taking this; no engagements, I refuse to be targeted by some obscure internet celebrity.]
Seeing the live stream almost erupt into a fight, Yan Sheng upstairs frowned and sent a comment using his alternate account to try and calm things down.
[Everyone, calm down and stop arguing. They have a good relationship.]
However, nobody listened to him. The fans on both sides were as if they were under a spell, and they were almost about to start a full-blown fight.
Before the live stream, Yan Sheng and her agency made a crisis plan, which envisioned various problems that might occur during the live stream, but this was the only one they hadn't thought of.
The main reason was that his relationship with Yan Shenyu had improved in this life, which made him lower his guard, thinking that netizens wouldn't dwell on this point. However, he didn't expect it to still be blown out of proportion, stirring up conflict between fans...
A small group of extreme netizens are now escalating their insults, completely drowning out the comments from other netizens. Yan Shenyu, in front of the camera, remained silent, seemingly unsure how to handle the situation.
Seeing this, Yan Sheng's breath caught in his throat for a moment, and he even began to doubt whether it was really the right thing to do to have Yan Shenyu do the makeup for him. Wasn't this putting him in a very dangerous position?
"Yan Sheng, say something." A staff member held up a large sign and reminded him.
Yan Sheng's gaze swept over the sign but paused for a second, it was unclear whether he had seen it or not.
The staff member asked the assistant director uncertainly, "Brother Jiang? Should we prepare lines for him?"
Although most live streams may seem like casual chats, they are actually scripted and guided by a script, which tells them what to say and what to show.
However, during yesterday's meeting, Yan Sheng herself refused to use a script, which is why they didn't have to. Unexpectedly, once the live broadcast started, she didn't have enough adaptability, leaving the staff in a dilemma.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Xulin shook his head: "No need for now, let's see."
The young assistant director turned his attention to "Yan Sheng" on camera, choosing to temporarily trust the artist he was working with.
The live stream chat was hardly pleasant to listen to, but "Yan Sheng" remained expressionless. After everyone had calmed down, he slowly uttered a sentence: "You guys are all so fierce."
The boy frowned slightly, his voice trailing off longer than usual, and a look of grievance appeared on his usually aloof face.
The fans were immediately: ??
Putting aside those malicious trolls, most normal netizens were misled and became emotionally charged, which is why they started attacking others. Seeing "Yan Sheng" like this, they couldn't stay silent anymore and started typing:
【Ahhh, don't cry, don't cry! We won't be mean anymore!】
[Holy crap! Sheng Meiren is acting cute! Is this something I can watch?]
[Stop arguing! Everyone, stop arguing! If you keep arguing, Sheng Meiren will cry!]
[Can we make Sheng Meiren cry? Or should we yell at her even harder? (Just kidding)]
A barrage of comments flooded the screen, instantly overshadowing the earlier arguments.
Just as things were starting to look up, another comment popped up: "Can we let Yan Shenyu come out and take a look?"
Yan Sheng, watching from behind the screen, was still a little worried, but this time, the fans actually spontaneously broke up the fight:
[Don't argue, let's all get along peacefully and not give the impression that we, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi, are all fierce.]
[Smiling face, I know everyone wants to be careful with their words, but it's best not to spam in Yan Sheng's live stream.]
Some people wanted to nitpick, but were silenced by a comment in the live chat: "They're brothers who love each other, what right do you have to argue here?"
“It’s not that we’re really that close,” Yan Sheng said calmly. “We’ve only known each other for a short time. If we’re really close, it’s just an act for you.”
[Hilarious! Can you please not be so honest?!]
[Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like Yan Sheng and Yan Shenyu have a similar vibe? I'm not being oblivious, it's just that feeling.]
Yes, yes, I noticed that too, but I didn't dare to say anything.
[After all, they are brothers; it's normal for them to know each other.]
So, will Yan Shenyu be able to appear on camera?
“Not for now,” Yan Sheng shook her head good-naturedly. “My brother isn’t feeling well lately and isn’t suitable to entertain guests.”
After all, his head was swollen with bumps.
[Haha, she's entertaining guests! Even the beautiful Sheng can joke now!]
[Hilarious! So, is Sheng Meiren's job today to entertain guests? No wonder she unbuttoned two buttons.]
The topic was defused with a humorous joke, and most netizens didn't think about it anymore.
But Jiang Xulin, standing next to him, recalled the way Yan Shenyu looked that morning. She wasn't just in a bad state; she was in absolutely fantastic condition.
Why would Yan Sheng say that? Is it just an excuse to avoid having anyone else appear?
