Chapter 20: Who is the Green Tea?
Su Yanheng nearly let out a cold laugh.
Gu Tingfei is a good person??
If the little brat knew how many times Gu Tingfei had targeted him and snatched his resources, he probably wouldn’t be able to say such a thing.
In front of the cameras, Su Yanheng couldn’t expose Gu Tingfei’s true nature. He could only force a smile and say, “You’ve never even met this brother. How can you tell he’s a good person just from a card?”
Su Yanheng still couldn’t let it go and couldn’t help but retort a couple more times.
Niannian pointed at the content on the card, his face full of innocent naivety: “He was worried someone might be allergic to mangoes, so he specially wrote a little card to remind everyone.”
Su Yanheng: “...”
Su Yanheng really wanted to pat his little brother’s silly head.
His brother hadn’t entered society yet and didn’t understand the complexities of human nature, which was why he was so easily fooled by that scheming Gu Tingfei!
If Gu Tingfei was truly concerned, he could have simply avoided mangoes as an option. So why did he specifically choose mangoes?
The audience and Niannian might not know about his mango allergy, but Gu Tingfei knew perfectly well.
Su Yanheng couldn’t speak his bitterness aloud. He couldn’t straightforwardly tell everyone that Gu Tingfei knew about his mango allergy, he had no evidence to prove it anyway.
He could only grit his teeth and swallow the blood, enduring it for now!
But it was only a temporary endurance. He’d remember this debt and definitely settle it next time!
【Why does it feel like Su Yanheng and Gu Tingfei have a really bad relationship? It seems like Su Yanheng is always targeting Gu Tingfei?】
【Is that so? Must be your imagination!】
【When it comes down to it, it’s still about the mangoes. Gu Tingfei is quite hypocritical, giving off a strong green tea vibe.】
【I advise you all not to spread rumors. My brother kindly made a note and you’re still picking on him? Is this the quality of Su Yanheng’s fans?】
【It’s just a mango mille-feuille, is there a need to argue? Gu Tingfei didn’t only make mango mille-feuille; he thoughtfully considered everyone and made other flavors too!】
【Exactly, if Su Yanheng can’t eat mangoes, can’t he just eat something else? Su Yanheng’s fans really love to nitpick!】
Zhao Shun rubbed his forehead, sighing repeatedly ever since Gu Tingfei’s mango mille-feuille arrived. Like Su Yanheng, he knew exactly what Gu Tingfei was up to as soon as he saw the card Gu Tingfei wrote.
It wasn’t the first time. Gu Tingfei was like a sticky plaster, always finding ways to cling to Su Yanheng’s popularity. He didn’t mind taking the “blackened popularity” route either.
Sometimes, when his methods were wrong and he got criticized, he’d just laugh it off, as if nothing could faze him. As long as he could latch onto Su Yanheng and climb up by sucking Su Yanheng’s blood, he was satisfied.
This time, Gu Tingfei had succeeded again.
The show had invited four sets of families. Su Yanheng had the highest popularity among the four, followed by actress Huang Jingan. The remaining two were Gu Tingfei and blogger Lou Yu, who had five million followers.
Compared to Su Yanheng and Huang Jingan’s status, Gu Tingfei was still far behind. He couldn’t even match the popularity of the civilian blogger. Although he had his little internet-famous brother bringing some attention, since the broadcast started, his popularity had been consistently at the bottom.
Because of the mango incident, the viewership in his livestream surpassed Lou Yu’s and was now vigorously chasing after Huang Jingan in second place.
In ordinary daily life, this incident might not be a big deal, but in the entertainment industry, it’s different. Audiences always like to nitpick your words, hoping every single one of them is wrong.
Gu Tingfei had calculated this point accurately, successfully using Su Yanheng to boost his own popularity.
"What a leech!"
Zhao Shun couldn't hold back his anger and couldn't help but curse. Su Yanheng's assistant nodded repeatedly. He had been with Su Yanheng for several years, had a decent understanding of Su Yanheng's situation, and also knew about Gu Tingfei's affairs.
Not only was Zhao Shun angry, but he was angry too.
Was Gu Tingfei determined to cling to his brother for a lifetime?!
***
If they continued talking, even though he wasn't allergic, this topic would become sensitive instead.
Su Yanheng began clearing the empty plates, changing the subject: "Since all three of us are free, would you like to go to the amusement park?"
Niannian's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed loudly, "Yes!"
Su Yanheng smiled and patted Niannian's excited little head, then looked at Ji Suize, who remained silent. He thought Ji Suize would respond with a nod or shake of his head, but instead, he saw Ji Suize's lips part, unexpectedly speaking up: "Doesn't Big Brother Gu know you're allergic to mangoes?"
Su Yanheng was taken aback, and the audience in front of the screen was also stunned. No one had expected Ji Suize to speak, and even more so to bring back the previous topic.
In everyone's eyes, it seemed as if Ji Suize had either a slow reaction time or had only just thought of this matter, once it came to mind, he spoke it directly. Perhaps he had been lost in recollection, so he missed Su Yanheng's new question.
This happening to Ji Suize wasn't strange at all. Geniuses always like to focus on one thing and won't give up until they've thoroughly understood it.
"How do you know?" Su Yanheng quickly reacted, seizing the opportunity his little brother had thrown him.
Gu Tingfei could act, but couldn't he?
He had won several awards that Gu Tingfei dreamed of!
"Last year, on Ji Shiyu's birthday, you accidentally ate mangoes and had an allergic reaction. When you were taken to the hospital, you ran into Big Brother Gu." Ji Suize suddenly paused, his brow slightly furrowed as if recalling the details of that time. "I remember he had a sprained hand then. You two crossed paths, and he even asked about your condition."
Su Yanheng clearly remembered this incident, but he had overlooked other details, like the fact that Ji Suize had gone to the hospital with him at the time. The Ji Suize who hadn't shown a single word of concern back then actually cared deeply about him, otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied him to the hospital and remembered so many details.
Most importantly, Ji Suize was helping him now. For his sake, Ji Suize was even willing to break his usual silence and speak!
Su Yanheng was deeply moved, truly wanting to step forward and hug his little brother, giving him two big kisses.
"Is that so?" Su Yanheng pretended to be confused, scratching his head. "Now that you mention it, it does seem like something like that happened."
Ji Suize seemed to have recalled all the details, confirming, "He said he sprained his hand while filming, so he came to the hospital for a check-up."
Su Yanheng really loved this little brother to death!
If he had said these words himself, some viewers definitely wouldn't have believed him. Without concrete evidence, just words alone still couldn't convict Gu Tingfei. But coming from Ji Suize, who didn't like to talk, appeared very upright, and seemed incapable of lying, that was different.
Now he didn't need to provide evidence, the gossip-loving netizens would help him dig it up.
【I searched Gu Tingfei's Weibo, and what Little Brother Ze said is true. Gu Tingfei injured his hand while filming last year, and he even posted on Weibo when he went to the hospital for a check-up!】
【So he actually knew Su Yanheng was allergic to mangoes!】
Gu Tingfei's fans tried to defend him: 【Ji Suize might have remembered wrong!】
【Are you insulting Little Brother Suize's intelligence?】
【Anyone can make a mistake, but Xiao Ze absolutely wouldn't!】
Gu Tingfei's fans were still struggling desperately: 【My Big Brother has a bad memory.】
Su Yanheng's fans sneered sarcastically: 【Don't you often say that your Big Brother has a very good relationship with Su Yanheng? How could a good friend forget something as important as an allergy?】
【Why keep harping on the mango allergy? Gu Tingfei didn't just make mangoes. If he had only made mangoes, that would be intentional!】
【Right, Gu Tingfei even specially wrote a card to remind Su Yanheng!】
【Hah, anyone who knows a little bit would know that Su Yanheng's favorite fruits are strawberries and durian. As Su Yanheng's good friend, why didn't your Big Brother choose strawberries or durian, and instead insisted on picking mangoes that would cause Su Yanheng's allergy?】
【Do you think he wrote the card out of kindness? Actually, he was just trying to build a caring persona for himself. Our silly Niannian Baby believed it, didn't he!】
【Who's the green tea? Isn't it obvious?】
