Isn't this world too small?

  Yan Cong only realized after he finished speaking that the person he called "sister" was much taller than his own sister, and hastily reached out to tear off the mask, but before he could even remove it, Song Min had already turned around.

  Song Min was stunned, both hands holding the cake couldn't react in any way.

  Liang Yiguan pushed open the door and came in, seeing Yan Song was even more surprised, "My goodness, what are you doing?"

  "This isn't what Danning said recently that my skin has gotten rough and doesn't look good on camera, telling me to apply a few more face masks."

  Yan Song awkwardly tore off the face mask, revealing a moistened face as he greeted Song Min, "Hello."

  Song Min stiffened and smiled, "Hello."

  "Song Song, give me the cake." Liang Yi took the cake from Song Min's hand, "You go sit down first, I'll pour you some water."

  "What about Danning?" Liang looked around and didn't see the assistant Yan Song, so he handed a glass of water to Song Min and asked her to sit down.

  "Isn't this supposed to be for buying hot pot ingredients?"

  "Sir, didn't I urge you to go buy it a long time ago?"

  "We were supposed to go out and buy it a long time ago, but then we found out that there were paparazzi following us. After shaking them off, Danning sent me back home and went out to buy it himself." Yan Song smiled awkwardly.

  "Fortunately, the security in this neighborhood is good. If not, you might as well live on Mars." Liang curled his lips and didn't want to comment on her brother's high popularity.

  The doorbell suddenly rang loudly.

  "It must be Danning who has come back, I'll go and open the door." Yan Song strode over to open the door with her long legs.

  Liáng approached with a sly smile, gazing at Yan Song's figure as he went to open the door, "Song, take a look at my little brother, how is he?"

  "Ah?" Song Min looked at Liang Yi speechlessly, "Sister, are you serious?"

  "More precious than pearls."

  Song Min: “......”

  "Sister, where are Uncle and Aunt?"

  "They went traveling in Europe, ah, Song Song don't change the subject."

  ……

  "Ugh, I'm exhausted." Yan Song's assistant came in carrying two large bags and a cake, and upon seeing Yan Song, he launched into crazy rant mode. "Brother, those paparazzi are too terrifying, they followed me all the way here, I had to take a detour on the way back to shake them off."

  "Thanks for your hard work." Yan Cong took the bag and patted Da Ning's shoulder, "I'll add an extra chicken leg to your lunchbox tomorrow."

  "Thanks for your hard work, Da Ning." Liang Yi followed the two boys to the kitchen to help out. "Song Song, you sit down first."

  "Sister, let me help you." Song Min felt that with three people in the kitchen and her alone outside, it wasn't very good, so she followed them into the kitchen.

  "Ah!" Da Ning took a plate from the cabinet and turned around, suddenly seeing Song Min and startling.

  Song Min smiled and said, "Hello."

  "Hello!" Daining smiled very sincerely, he leaned into Yan Song's ear and whispered in a voice that he thought was very small, "Brother, is this the girl who came back with us on the day of the concert?"

  Yan Song murmured an "uh-huh".

  "It was too dark that day and I couldn't see clearly, but she's really a beauty!"

  Yan Song kicked Da Ning's foot, "Wash your vegetables!"

  "It's not even allowed to be said..." Da Ning rubbed the kicked place and whispered, his family's Yan Song was indeed not right.

  Liang Yi said while washing vegetables, "Our Song Song is not only a beauty but also a talented woman, the contracted author of 'To The Time'."

  "Oh, I know that magazine! In high school, the girls in our class read it every day."

  "Shang Shang even took a cover photo for it before." Liang Yi couldn't help but smile, recalling the time when Yan Shang had just entered university and wasn't yet famous, occasionally working as a part-time model for some magazines to earn money and supplement her living expenses.

  "Sigh, I originally wanted to make some money and fall in love, but unexpectedly didn't find a girlfriend, instead was discovered by the record company." Yan Song seemed to be looking up at the sky with a worried expression. Back then, he had participated in the "Top Ten Campus Singers" competition and was discovered by the record company, releasing his first single and gaining some small fame.

  Later, I was arranged by the company to participate in a very popular talent show that year and became famous overnight.

  Strength and good looks coexist.

  The judges at the time commented on him like this.

  That year, Yan Song was only 22 years old, just graduated from university.

  At 25 years old, after two or three years of time, Yan Song has grown into an idol superstar.

  This is inseparable from his efforts.

  Four people worked together and soon all the materials were ready.

  Just about to start eating, the doorbell rang loudly.

  "Who is this? He really knows how to pick a time."

  Liáng went to open the door.

  "Director Song?"

  "Didn't I tell you not to call me Director Song?" Song Qing's clear and bright voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

  Song Min heard Song Qing's voice and almost spat out a mouthful of water, she turned her head to look, and indeed saw her second brother carrying a cake in.

  Wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding Boss's cake, is really funny.

  Song Min couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Second Brother."

  "Min'er, how are you here?" Song Qinghe's surprise was no less than Song Min's, his eyes slightly widened.

  "I've come to celebrate Liang Yijia's birthday."

  "Do you two know each other?"

  "Hmm." Song Min nodded.

  Song Qinghe looked at Liang Yi again and asked her for confirmation.

  "Right, what's wrong?" Liang glanced at him and felt that Song Qinghe had been taking care of a lot of things recently.

  "No problem." Song Qinghe handed the cake to Liang Yi and changed into slippers before coming in.

  Liáng Yī looked at the third cake and his head got bigger.

  "Second Brother, how did you come?" From the moment Song Qing and entered, Song Min knew that the play "Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me" had already begun. Her second brother was such a cold and self-restrained man, apart from the few women at home, who else would he actively give birthday wishes to?

  "Give my secretary a birthday."

  "Oh." Song Min lowered her head and quietly ate, if she spoke again, her second brother might scold her to death.

  "Song Song, is he your second brother?" Liang Yi looked at Song Qinghe with an incredulous gaze, his eyes filled with indescribable disdain. "Not a bit like the charming Song Song."

  Li Ang previously only roughly knew that Song Min's family was very well-off, after all, Song Min's attire and demeanor were quite refined, but he didn't expect the company she worked for to be owned by her family.

  Song Min nodded, "Mm, my elder brother."

  "What about that then?"

  "My elder brother." Song Min was even more surprised, and Liang Yi actually knew her elder brother.

  "He is my dad's student."

  "Is Uncle a professor of law?" Song Min had only known before that Liang's dad was a professor at F University, and didn't expect that Uncle Liang would be a professor of law, and even had connections with her older brother.

  "Alas, this world is so small! Turning around, they're all familiar faces."

  Song Qinghe consciously picked up dishes from the pot and put them in Song Min's bowl, "Nothing wrong with that."

  Song Min has been keeping his head down and working hard.

  "How are you getting back tonight?" Song Qinghe patted Song Min's head, his eyes filled with a loving gaze as if watching his own daughter grow up.

  Song Min felt that her second brother was all the more terrifying because he was so kind, and she feared that she would have to explain a lot to Song Qinghe, "Not going back?"

  "Stay at my place tonight and I'll take you back tomorrow."

  "Oh."

  I knew it would be like this... Song Min suppressed the nagging thoughts in her heart and continued eating with her head down.

  Liáng Yī watched this scene and couldn't help but shake his head. Sòng Qīng was indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, not even sparing his own sister. How much had Sòng Sòng been bullied by him since childhood?!

  Song Qinghe raised his eyes to look at Liang Yi, he had basically been able to guess what she was thinking from her expression, "Song Min is not as silly and sweet as you imagine, I don't know how many pots I've taken for her since childhood."

  Song Min suddenly choked, her entire throat was spicy like it was about to catch fire, Song Min's face turned bright red, her eyes welled up with tears as she picked up the cup, only to find that the water in it had already been drunk by her.

  Yan Song hastily handed her a cup of water.

  Song Min took it and drank two mouthfuls, and his throat felt a bit more comfortable.

  "You'd better have the clear soup." Yan Song gave Song Min some dishes from the clear soup, because he was a singer and couldn't eat spicy food. It would be boring to eat clear soup alone, so it's better to pull someone together.

  Song Min smiled slightly at Yan Song and said, "Thank you."

  "No need to be polite." Yan Cong added a slice of meat into the pot and stirred it, while Song Min hesitated, seemingly having completely forgotten him. He asked tentatively, "Do you still remember that time about three years ago when we had dinner together?"

  "Three years ago?" Song Min remembered that three years ago, she had her first dinner at Liang Yi's house. At the time, there were Liang Yi and his parents, as well as a boy who didn't speak much, just like Song Min's current state, always lowering his head to eat. However, when Song Min ate the chili in the dish, he actively handed her a glass of water.

  He should have recognized himself when he came back from the concert, right? Song Min said with embarrassment: "That... I don't have a good memory, always can't remember faces..."

  Yan Song nodded, "I know you can only remember voices."

  What? Did she flip through her Weibo? Song Min is a voice control, this thing, she only showed it without reservation on Weibo, but in the friend circle and QQ space, she was very reserved. Yan Sheng, such a big star, would actually look at her Weibo? What's going on? Song Min was a bit unsettled.

  "Uh... yeah..."

  "It seems that's because my voice isn't good enough." Yan Song's voice was tinged with a hint of regret.

  Yan Song's voice is clean and refreshing, with a sunny flavor, it's that kind of positive and uplifting feeling.

  But Song Min loved the low and gentle voice of Wen Yan, just a light smile could stir up the whole pool of spring water, it was really heart-moving.

  Oh no, why did I think of Wen Yan again?

  Song Min slightly furrowed his brow, reacted after Yan Song said something and awkwardly laughed twice, "Haha..."

  Song Qinghe saw Yan Cong following Song Min, and he started to lose his composure. To think that Wen Yan, his good brother for so many years, had been deceived by this girl, it was already a given. But how could he let Yan Cong take advantage of him when he hadn't even won over Liang Yi yet? So, Song Qinghe spoke up with ill intentions, "Min'er, has Wen Yan been busy lately?"

  Busy.

  "How did you know? Did he tell you?"

  Song Min is annoyed that everyone ties her with Wen Yan, "Who goes to work without being busy."

  "You think Wen Yan went to ophthalmology just for a quiet life, don't you?"

  You all know, why ask? Song Min didn't want to bother with her second brother anymore and quickened his eating pace.

  Song Qinghe continued talking on one side, not giving Yan Song a chance to speak.

  Liáng couldn't help but want to laugh, Sòng Qīng and this bodyguard's attitude was really comical, yet he didn't dare laugh out loud, holding it in for the entire meal almost made him choke.

  After dinner and cutting the cake, Song Qing led Song Min back home.

  Song Qinghe originally lived in the building across from Liang Yilou's.

  It's really... bureaucratic calculation...

  Song Min sighed.
