No matter what Ms. Gu Shuyi said next, Ji Shenxiao ruthlessly rejected her proposal to come to his house and freeload food.
Cooking for him, Ji Shenxiao, was just barely enough to be counted as an equal‐value exchange, but if Qiu Jin started cooking for other people too, then what would that count as?
Moreover...
Ji Shenxiao's eyes fell on the young man wearing an apron.
The latter was cleaning up the tableware and chopsticks on the table. His movements were clean and elegant. For some reason, he did not want others to see Qiu Jin like this at all.
On the other hand, Qiu Jin also did not want others to know that he had excessive contact with Ji Shenxiao.
This Saturday was the sixtieth birthday of the godfather of the entertainment industry, Jiang Feihong. All the influential people in the entertainment circle would attend, and it was also a rare social opportunity for Qiu Jin.
Qiu Yuqin called Qiu Jin ahead of time and repeatedly told Qiu Jin that he was going to come pick him up, and then they would go to the event together.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Jin refused him.
Qiu Yuqin tried to persuade him with a friendly tone of voice.
"When you were chasing after Xiang Xi, I didn't say much, but now that you want to make a comeback, you can't be so willful."
Qiu Jin laughed.
"I haven't said anything yet, but you're already angry?"
"Then what do you want to say?" Qiu Yuqin said.
"It's fine. I'm going by myself."
Qiu Jin slowed down his tone of voice.
"Brother, it's been tough on you too, right? Don't worry about me."

When did his younger brother become so sensible? Qiu Yuqin restrained the belly full of preaching that he was about to unleash, and just like that, all his words were dispelled by a gentle breeze and light drizzle.
He opened his mouth, but found that he could not say anything, so he could only say awkwardly, "Make sure you remember, if you don't come, I..."
Qiu Jin hurriedly interrupted him.
"I know. Go rest early."
Qiu Yuqin's face started to get hot.
"En. I'm hanging up now," he coldly said.
No wonder the original host had poor relations with his family. Was the Qiu family cursed or something? Even when they were expressing their concern, it was all sharp knives and sword glares. Their words of concern would be hidden behind hurtful words.
Qiu Yuqin was obviously paving the way for Qiu Jin's future, but he used such a forceful method. Even that old man, Qiu Zhiming. That other day, he was trying to care for Qiu Jin, but he chose to do it by criticizing and enumerating Qiu Jin's shortcomings.
Ah, forget about it. These have all become habit for them. It was impossible to change in a short time, and Qiu Jin was not going to make demands on them.
Qiu Jin went to the gym to exercise for an hour and then fell asleep after watching a movie.
The next morning, the phone rang early in the morning.
Qiu Jin squinted his eyes and picked up the call. His voice was hoarse.
"Hello?"
Qiu Yuqin's loud voice sounded immediately.
"Why are you still sleeping? It's already eight o'clock!"
"It's only eight o'clock. What's wrong?"
"We all arrived early for President Jiang's birthday. This time, the location is at the Garden Hotel in the city. It takes more than an hour to drive there."

Qiu Jin said that he knew and then fumbled to get out of bed.
"You get ready first. I'll come pick you up in half an hour," Qiu Yuqin said.
Qiu Jin paused for a moment, and then realized.
"Brother, I..."
"Don't talk nonsense, just wait for me!"
"...Brother, I don't live in the previous place anymore."
Qiu Yuqin: "?"
"You moved?"
"Why didn't you tell me when you moved?"
"Where do you live now? Did you run out of money? Why didn't you tell me?!"
Qiu Yuqin's questioning was like a barrage of non‐stop gunfire. The corners of Qiu Jin's mouth twitched upward into a smile.
"I have enough money. I changed to a bigger house. It's because you were busy, so I didn't have time to tell you. I only just moved here," he spoke slowly.
Since Qiu Jin moved to a new place, Qiu Yuqin was even more insistent on coming by to take a look at the place. No matter how Qiu Jin tried to refuse, Qiu Yuqin just told his chauffeur to drive over without speaking further on the matter.
Half an hour later, Qiu Yuqin looked over Qiu Jin's new place and nodded his head in satisfaction.
"It's quite good. It's safer than your previous place."

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
