Chapter 58: Brother is a Big Star – 4

Guan Ming seemed to take a particular liking to Ren Xin, insisting on adding her on WeChat.

Ren Xin struck a pose and said, “If you want to contact me, you can go through my manager, Ren Sen. Otherwise, I might be very busy~”

Guan Ming: “…” Busy with what? Weaning off milk?

Ren Xin rolled her eyes. We only have a professional relationship; you’re overstepping.

On the day of the shoot, they needed to film a pilot episode, which involved capturing each family packing their luggage. There were also segments for interviews.

“Come on then. I’ve taken the money, so you can do whatever you want with me!”

Suppressing a laugh, Guan Ming followed the script and asked, “Please give us a brief self-introduction!”

“My name is Ren Xin. I’m three years old. I successfully quit milk last year, and this year I plan to quit diapers. My current education level is the small class¹ at kindergarten. In my spare time, I like to dabble in web dramas like ‘The Overbearing CEO² Falls for Me,’ but I love my brother the most. However, that isn’t enough to hide the fact that he’s a total weakling…”

Ren Sen, who was waiting for his interview: “…”

“You mentioned before that your brother is a No-Line Artist. Does he know about this?”

Ren Xin shook her head with great solemnity. “No, he doesn’t. I’ve been being his anti-fan behind his back.”

“Could you explain to the audience what a ‘No-Line Artist’ is?”

“It’s short for ‘No-Line-of-Sight on this person’—basically, a total nobody!”

“Alright. Who do you love most at home? Is it Mom and Dad, or your brother?”

A look of helplessness appeared on Ren Xin’s face, as if she were saying: Since you’re being so childish, I suppose I’ll just have to humor you.

“I love myself the most, because they all love me! I must have some extraordinary qualities to be so likable~”

The thing that set Guan Ming’s variety shows apart from others was that he never hid anything or dragged out the release schedule.

Fans loved him for this. They even called for other variety show directors to take notes.

This show was an even bolder attempt: a full-process live stream, recording every moment of interaction between the guardians and the adorable kids.

The pilot episode was the first to air, with Ren Xin and her brother placed at the very end. The previous pairs of siblings and father-son duos were all very friendly. One pair even featured a “sister-obsessed” younger brother who thought everything his sister did was the best.

【This is so sweet! I love the vibe between Qingzi and her little brother. My brother and I are different; I clock in every day just to beat him up. Sometimes my mom joins in, and my dad participates depending on his mood.】

【To the person above, is your whole family made of demons?】

Once Ren Xin’s interview was released, everyone burst out laughing.

【Pfft… forgive me, I don’t usually laugh, but is it really okay for a three-year-old kid to roast her brother with such a serious face?】

【How should I put it? It’s just so real. My brother is eight years older than me, and he annoys me too. It’s that love-hate relationship, super complicated~】

【She knows about overbearing CEOs at three? As expected, overbearing CEOs will rule the world sooner or later!】

【Don’t talk nonsense. She just quit milk; it hasn’t been easy for her.】

【Hahahahaha…】

【Even though Ren Sen isn’t top-tier, he’s not exactly a ‘No-Line Artist,’ right? She really is an anti-fan.】

【What should I do? I want to join Ren Sen’s anti-fan group too, as long as the group leader is the little sister. I swear, just listening to her roast him would make my whole day.】

Ren Sen watched the endless stream of comments scrolling past the interview, rendered momentarily speechless.

His manager was so happy he was practically jumping. “Ren Sen, do you know how incredible this is? The online discussion volume for you and your sister is equal to everyone else combined! Look at their celebrity status compared to yours—our day in the sun is just around the corner!”

Ren Xin didn’t know if their “day in the sun” was coming; she only knew she was hungry.

But the live stream was about to start. A hungry child couldn’t hold out, yet Guan Ming didn’t mind. “You guys go ahead and eat; we’ll just start the stream.”

Ren Sen: “!!!” Aren’t you worried she’ll get indigestion?
