Chapter 4 I will try my best

ut thirty walked in. He bowed first and greeted: "Director Li NIM" 。" 。“Lee Soo Man nodded and pointed to the person beside him who was greeting, saying to the man, “Seung-hwan ah, this is Ji-seong...."How did you know Is it Park Jin-hyeong"

Qi Jingyuan didn't answer, instead he frowned and looked at his second brother.

"What kind of eyes do you have I had Park Bo Gum join ** to help you, not to watch over you. You little brat, your vigilance has only increased. It seems the entertainment industry is quite a workout, but it's being used in the wrong place."

And since Park is working as your assistant, he naturally belongs to you. If he betrays both sides, he won't be well-received by either party. He understands this very well, and I know him quite well too. I believe he is trustworthy.

Ji Jingxu glanced at him with a hint of annoyance and said, "Of course I have other channels to get information. Don't you think you're very secretive Besides, I would know if someone new moved into our Qingtan Cave properties."

Xie Wan's eyes narrowed as she let out a sarcastic rant, and Chi Jingxu put on another mischievous expression, looking at his brother: "Talk about it."

He shows no interest in his younger brother's career, and to this day, EXO members probably don't know many of him. He likely hasn't even watched any of Park Kyung-won's dramas, but he is very interested in his romantic life.

Chi Jingyuan wasn't surprised. His second brother had always been like this since he was little.

There's not much to talk about, she's been a bit moody lately and has been giving me the cold shoulder. We haven't been in touch much.

Chi Jingyuan ate the dishes with his mouth full, chewing as he spoke.

"Didn't you go comfort her"

Ji Jingxu looked at him and asked a question.

"... "

Chi Jingyuan shrugged and said nothing.

He was so busy at that time that he didn't even have time to sleep. When this happened, it made Chi Jingyuan's mood a little irritable, and he didn't bother to say anything. After a while, he actually got used to it.

And...

"Sigh, you guys are the kind who fall in love at first sight, with not much emotional foundation. You confirm your relationship after a short time, and once the honeymoon phase is over and the novelty wears off, this is what happens. Besides, looking at you... I'd guess you haven't invested much emotion either."

Chi Jingxu sighed, looking as if he was worried about his younger brother. However, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes as he looked at his younger brother, who had just taken a bite of his meal.

"How do you know, understand me so well"

Pool Jingyuan asked a question in return.

"Well, of course, I've seen you throw yourself into love before. Don't you remember the first time you fell for someone They barely gave you a push back, didn't reply to your messages for a day, and you were practically glued to your phone at home, fidgeting and pacing, unable to even eat."

Chi Jingxu narrowed his eyes, a look of relish on his face. "Ah, my little brother was so adorable back then."

"Will you remember this forever"

Hearing this again, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He put down his chopsticks and frowned, looking at his second older brother.

"Of course, the thing I regret most now is that I didn't record you at the time."

Chi Jingxu didn't flinch from his younger brother's gaze at all, tilting his head to meet his eyes.

Chi Jingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, choosing to temporarily retreat.

In this matter, he was indeed a bit outmatched by his second brother.

After chatting about this topic for a few more minutes, Ji Jingxu got down to business: "Your year-long leave of absence is coming to an end, and the school term is about to begin. Are you going to extend it"

"It doesn't really matter how long it takes, even if I'm busy, I have to go to school. I can't just take a break until I'm no longer an artist and then go back."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a way for me to attend school without having to go to class frequently after I'm admitted"

"There must be a way. I can contact my people there, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Chi Jingxu nodded, becoming more serious. He added: "But that means you have to keep a low profile at school, and you can't skip classes for long periods. As for your grades... do your best."

"That should do it, just not every day."

Chi Jingyuan nodded to indicate he agreed. He then expressed some dissatisfaction with his second brother's doubts about his academic performance: "I will study hard, you don't have to worry about it."

"Tut tut..."

He replied with a sneer that was unmistakable.

…………

On New Year's Eve, my second older brother went upstairs to answer a phone call. The TV was left on but no one was watching it. The volume was turned up quite loud to make the house seem less deserted and create a lively atmosphere.

Chi Jingyuan sat on the sofa in the living room, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window. The snowflakes that were still floating in the air twinkled and danced, accompanied by the white halo of streetlights, which painted the entire snowy scene with a touch of magic and romance.

He suddenly felt like going out, got dressed and walked out. He strolled around the courtyard at random.

After several days, the snow outside had piled up high enough to cover one's shoes. Stepping on it felt soft and springy, and the biting cold wind against his face invigorated him after being cooped up inside for so long. His mood lifted considerably.

His villa courtyard was decorated with many scenic views, which were all covered in snow at this time. Standing there felt like strolling through a park. The sound of footsteps crunching on the snow also added a touch of liveliness to the quiet night.

Just moments after he stepped out the door, his phone in the car kept ringing. Messages of festive greetings from relatives and friends never stopped coming in. Chi Jingyuan also took out his phone and began to reply incessantly.

Sunny and Taeyeon sent over a group photo of a Girls' Generation reunion dinner. They didn't take a break, they went to record the music bank stage today, and now several members are having a meal together to celebrate the holiday.

Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, then raised his phone and smiled as he took a selfie, sending it over.

A message came quickly on the opposite side:

"Where are you this late"

"Nu Na, that's a strange question. Of course I'm at home right now."

"Does your house have a park It's so big"

"Um... a little bit."

Chi Jingyuan originally intended to post a selfie of "male group god looks" to comfort a few lonely sisters who couldn't take a break and could only find warmth in each other. He thought it would be a little consolation, but the other party's focus was completely off.

The temperature was quite low, my hand felt cold from constantly holding it outside to reply to messages. After walking around for a bit, Chi Jingyuan went back inside.

…………

The two brothers had a somewhat similar upbringing, living in the United States and China for long periods. They weren't particularly familiar with traditional festivals on the peninsula, and even Ji Jingyuan wasn't from the peninsula but held American citizenship.

They celebrate various festivals with diverse customs, but they don't really place much importance on the holidays themselves. They mainly use this time and atmosphere to chat, relax, and enjoy a well-deserved break from their usual routine.

But business still needs to be taken care of. After the Spring Festival, the two brothers first went to pay their respects to their ancestors. Even though their parents and older sister weren't there, this kind of thing definitely couldn't be forgotten.

After that, Chi Jingyuan, under the guidance of his second brother, visited a round of relatives, elders and some important contacts.
