Chapter 154: Brother-in-Law's Reputation Soars Once More
Seeing the increasing wave of harsh comments online, Yang Xiaofan no longer dared to waste any more time and directly appeared in his sister-in-law’s livestream room.
When he showed up in Qin Nuanxin’s livestream, the viewers were initially stunned, then immediately erupted in fury.
“What the hell! He even barged into Nuanxin’s livestream!”
“Damn it! Anyone can just stroll into Gouzi’s livestream? That’s only supposed to be for the brother-in-law!”
“This is a disaster. That bastard even entered Gouzi’s livestream—he must be cheating on the brother-in-law.”
“So disappointed. The Qin sisters are unbearable. I’m never going to support Gouzi again.”
Seeing the public opinion spiraling out of control once more, Yang Xiaofan quickly spoke up:
“Everyone, don’t misunderstand. I am actually Yang Xiaofan.”
“???”
The viewers stared at him in bewilderment. What was going on? He claimed to be the brother-in-law?
“Cut the crap! Do you think we’re fools? We all know what the brother-in-law looks like!”
“Exactly! The brother-in-law is way more handsome than all those trendy young idols. Look at your face—so ugly it’s unbearable. And you have the nerve to claim you’re the brother-in-law?”
“Shameless! Utterly shameless. Let’s all curse him out so he gets no chance.”
Yang Xiaofan felt powerless and tried to defend himself again:
“I really am Yang Xiaofan. I was stuck in the hotel, feeling restless, so I took my fiancée out for a walk. Before long, you all caught sight of me. I know you don’t want to believe me, so I’ve come to this livestream to show you myself removing my makeup.”
With that, Yang Xiaofan began to take off his makeup.
“More acting! Obviously just trying to ride the brother-in-law’s popularity to boost yourself. You’re shameless beyond words.”
But then, something unexpected happened.
Yang Xiaofan started peeling off a half-mask-like layer from his face.
In an instant, his face was split into two halves.
“Holy crap!”
Suddenly, the barrage of insults in the livestream rapidly died down, replaced entirely by shocked whispers.
This was terrifying!
Yang Xiaofan had actually disguised himself!
Yet no one had noticed before, which proved just how masterful his disguise skills were.
When Yang Xiaofan revealed his true face after removing all the makeup, the entire livestream erupted in astonishment.
“I’m floored, brother-in-law. What can’t you do?”
“Playing chess, painting, cooking, practicing medicine... now disguise too? My god, brother-in-law, you’re not human—you’re a god!”
“Brother-in-law, I beg you, please return to your celestial realm and stop wreaking havoc down here.”
“Wuwu... brother-in-law, you’re just too amazing, we can’t help ourselves.”
Yang Xiaofan apologized repeatedly:
“Sorry everyone, it’s my fault for causing such a commotion. But I had no choice. Whenever I go downstairs, fans swarm me, all wanting autographs and photos. I don’t have a moment of privacy, so this was my last resort.”
“Ah, brother-in-law is a pitiful man!”
“Nothing you can do about it. To wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Throughout history, how many have been as popular as brother-in-law? It’s no wonder we chase after him.”
“After all, we just love you, brother-in-law.”
Reading the comments, Yang Xiaofan felt a faint sadness.
“Stop. I truly appreciate your affection, but I cannot accept being surrounded like that whenever I step outside. I don’t think you can either. Besides, I’m not a celebrity—I just want to share my talents with you. Please follow my songs and my paintings, and otherwise treat me as an ordinary person.”
“Brother-in-law is so free-spirited.”
“That’s a true master.”
“Love it, love it!”
Exhausted after a long day, Yang Xiaofan didn’t want to say much more. After a few lighthearted exchanges with the viewers, he exited the livestream, leaving Qin Nuanxin to continue.
Dragging his weary body back to his room, Qin Nuanyu immediately tenderly brought him a glass of lemon water.
“You must be exhausted. Drink some water.”
Yang Xiaofan sat on the sofa and gulped down the lemon water in one go, then collapsed onto the bed, finally feeling his aching bones settle.
Qin Nuanyu gently stroked his shoulder, soothing him:
“Xiaofan, if you’re truly too tired, why don’t we just quit the internet? After we get married, we can find a remote mountain no one knows and live a simple life—plowing the fields and weaving cloth. I’ll have a few children with you. With our current wealth, we won’t need to spend much for the rest of our lives.”
Yang Xiaofan nodded.
“You know, I’m actually starting to want that kind of life. After we marry, let’s go build an oasis in the desert. Then we can buy a private plane, so whenever we want to come back, we can fly right here—fast and convenient.”
“Mm!”
Qin Nuanyu smiled beautifully and nodded.
Just as they finished their quiet conversation, Zhao Liufang’s call came through again.
“Xiaofan, I’m seriously impressed! Tell me, what on earth is there that you can’t do? You even pulled off disguise, which is so difficult.”
Yang Xiaofan lay with his head on Qin Nuanyu’s lap, speaking weakly:
“Boss Zhao, don’t flatter me. I’m getting more and more tired. I’m a young man, but I feel like an old man who’s lived for decades, crushed by pressure.”
“That’s true. Many stars suffer from this. Ordinary people think they’re so famous, but they don’t see the effort and hardship behind it.”
“But I’m not just calling to flatter you. I have something serious. Didn’t you book a wedding photo shoot with me before? I’ve arranged it at an overseas location. If you have time, you can go shoot right away. It’ll be a chance to travel abroad and relax.”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaofan’s eyes lit up immediately.
“Really? Boss Zhao, I’m so grateful. This news couldn’t have come at a better time!”
