Chapter 5 Brother, Good Morning to You.

Chapter 5: Brother, Good Morning. Are You Well?

Lu Xingye: "......"

Why does this name sound somewhat familiar?

After racking his brain for a while, he finally remembered.

Wasn't this that Jiang family young master who attended the banquet his family held a few days ago, showing up on a three-wheeler and calling his brother "gege"?

"So it's you." Lu Xingye forced out what he thought was a cocky smirk. "Jiang Jiang, I've heard you're quite famous."

Jiang Jiang said warily, "Just talk normally, why are you twisting your mouth?"

Lu Xingye was stumped, his expression faltering. He pressed his lips into a thin line, but in the end, he couldn't stop them from twitching.

Jiang Heyao really couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Jiang Jiang completely ignored him. He nimbly craned his neck, his gaze passing over Lu Xingye to land on Jiang Heyao behind him with a sweet smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into you; I didn't mean to!"

These past few days, System 404 had crammed him with many "green tea" case studies. He hadn't mastered it perfectly, but pulling it off five or six parts out of ten was more than enough.

It was just that the happily swaying cowlick on his head betrayed his true mood.

"You!" Lu Xingye's anger flared.

How could there be such an annoying guy!

But before he could finish speaking, Jiang Heyao gave him a light smack.

He looked at Jiang Heyao, aggrieved, but the other party didn't even look his way.

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean to." Jiang Heyao shook his head.

It was just a minor incident. If not for Lu Xingye making a fuss, it wouldn't have dragged on this long.

However, he gave the boy another once-over.

Quite a cute kid.

"Brother! You're still the best!"

Lu Xingye clenched his fists.

"Ding, Impression Value +10. Current Impression Value: 40."

After the two said goodbye, Jiang Jiang then asked System 404 about the Impression Value.

"Why did I gain Impression Value again?"

"Maybe... from this morning?" System 404 didn't know why either.

But it could be said that the system was now more bug than system; it was a miracle it was still running.

It didn't dare to mess around, afraid that one wrong move and it might crash completely.

......

The next morning, 6:00 sharp.

System 404 chimed in right on time.

During this time, the old System 404 hadn't been idle either, scouring the internet for information about Lu Nanzhou.

Upon learning that Lu Nanzhou thought highly of disciplined people, it formulated the "Lu Nanzhou Morning Wellness Check" plan, requiring Jiang Jiang to get up at 6 a.m. every day to greet him.

[Jiang Jiang, stop sleeping! Today is the first day of 'Operation: Good Morning, Lu Nanzhou'. Go greet him and leave a good impression.]

Jiang Jiang rolled over.

Not listening.

He'd gotten up early just yesterday.

"Jiang Jiang..." System 404 launched an elderly evil ghost voice attack.

The figure on the bed shivered but still didn't get up.

"Jiang Jiang..." System 404 launched an elderly bubble voice attack.

Shiver, shiver, shiver.

"Jiang Jiang..." System 404 continued its sonic wave attack.

Jiang Jiang: =n=

He was usually full of energy, but only if he got enough good sleep.

Being abruptly awakened from a deep sleep, his resentment was heavier than a ghost's.

Jiang Jiang took out his phone and opened the chat window with "Brother KK."

He revealed a truly wicked smile from the bottom of his heart.

So it's you who made me get up this early, right?

Jiang Jiang: Brother, good morning to you =u=

System 404 let out a piercing shriek, "Jiang Jiang! Look at what you sent! Recall it and resend it, ahhhhh!"

No.

"I'll call you an hour later tomorrow!"

"At most an hour and a half!"

Message recalled.

System 404 breathed a long sigh of relief.

This host was too difficult to manage.

Lu Nanzhou had just opened the message and hadn't even seen the content clearly before it was withdrawn.

He originally intended to exit the chat window directly, but the next second, a new message popped up.

Jiang Jiang: Brother, are you good this morning?

Lu Nanzhou glanced around the living room, which Xiao Lv had redecorated last night, and calmly replied: Not bad, why?

Jiang Jiang: Nothing, brother, good night.

Lu Nanzhou slowly sent a question mark.

?

Jiang Jiang didn't look at the message again; after sending it, he immediately fell back asleep.

404: ......

404: Jiang Jiang?

Jiang Jiang: Zzzzz...

Jiang heard it, but he didn't want to listen.

"Tap, tap, tap."

In the end, it was a rhythmic and crisp tapping sound that woke Jiang Jiang.

He reached for his phone from the bedside table and saw it was already 10 AM.

"Tap, tap, tap."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Jiang asked curiously, hearing the sound in his mind.

404: "Knocking on a wooden fish."

"Accumulating merit? Get some for me too."

"No, calming the mind," 404 said calmly.

"......"

Humming a tune, Jiang Jiang slid down the staircase railing. "Auntie Wang, good morning~"

"Good morning, young master." Auntie Wang was already familiar with this sight. From initial worry to now taking it in stride, she smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat? We have both Chinese and Western options."

"Hmm." Jiang Jiang pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down, pondering for three seconds. "Then a bit of everything."

"Alright." Auntie Wang turned and headed toward the kitchen.

Soon, steaming hot breakfast was served.

Munch, munch, munch.

Jiang Jiang's cheeks were stuffed full as he ate.

Auntie Wang's cooking was as consistently excellent as ever.

He quickly devoured the double portion of breakfast and slumped contentedly into his chair.

"Young master." Auntie Wang placed a cardboard box in front of Jiang Jiang. "This was sent by Mr. Jiang and his wife. This one is for you."

Jiang Jiang scrambled up, carried the box to the living room carpet, and sat down cross-legged.

Opening the box, the first thing that caught his eye was an envelope sealed with wax and decorated with unknown feathers.

He gently broke the wax seal and pulled out the letter.

Dear Jiangjiang baby~

Ta-da! Have you missed Mommy? Mommy misses you so much~ Daddy and I will be back in about a month. When we return, Mommy will bring you... (various delicious foods omitted here)... Oh, and I had someone burn the video Daddy and I recorded together onto a disc. Remember to watch it with your brothers.

Jiang Jiang rummaged through the box and indeed found a case containing a disc.

He set the case aside and began unpacking the items from the box one by one.

A whole pile of miscellaneous things.

Probably from different countries.

Yes, Jiang Jiang's parents were globe-trotting wanderers.

For as long as he could remember, his parents would travel abroad for a month or two from time to time. They went from popular tourist destinations to obscure, lesser-known countries. Right now, they were probably having a great time in some corner of the world.

After visiting a few places, they would send various local specialties they bought to their children at home.

Jiang Jiang always felt this was very much like a game he once played called Travel Frog.

He packed everything except the disc case back into the box and carried it back to his bedroom.

"Ribbit."

The exclusive notification sound for family messages chimed.

Jiang Jiang opened the message; it was from his second brother, Jiang Huaiyu.

Second Brother: My flight lands in City A at 8 PM tonight.

Jiang Jiang: ⊙o⊙

Second Brother: ... I brought you some local specialties.

Jiang Jiang: Second Brother! I've missed you so much! I'll pick you up tonight~

Second Brother: [Punching a Beagle's head.jpg]

To welcome his dear second brother and let him feel his enthusiasm for the homecoming, Jiang Jiang planned to give his brother a star-studded experience.

He found a team specializing in celebrity airport pickup services on the largest second-hand platform, *Xianyu*.

Superstar Jiang Huaiyu Pickup Group (30)

Jiang Jiang: [Red envelope][Red envelope][Red envelope]

Jiang Jiang: Counting on everyone today! Give it your all!

Pickup Person A: Received, boss!

Pickup Person B: Boss is generous!

Pickup Person C: Mission guaranteed. [Salute.jpg]

Based on the flight number he learned in the morning, Jiang Jiang confirmed the nearest exit location.

At 7 PM, a large group of people appeared at the airport in full force.

To ensure a realistic effect, he directly booked the top-tier service, including hand banners, large banners, various materials, and even designated a fan color: translucent blue.

Jiang Jiang: Second Brother, be sure to message me when you arrive! I'll be waiting for you at this exit.

Jiang Jiang: [Picture]

To make sure his second brother would definitely come out from this exit, he made sure to remind him one more time.

The plane arrived 20 minutes early. Jiang Huaiyu opened his eyes, glanced at his phone, saw his younger brother's message, and couldn't help smiling.

Man, it's great to have a little brother.

Jiang Huaiyu's good mood lasted until he collected his luggage and headed for the exit.

A banner with white characters on a red background was particularly eye-catching.

He glanced at it.

Wait... why is his name on that?

But before he could figure out what was going on, a crowd of people started screaming his name and rushed him.

"Ahhhhhh Jiang Huaiyu!! Big brother!!!!"

"Jiang Huaiyu! Fly bravely! Rainthreads will always follow you!!!"

"Big brother, look at me!! Big brother!! I love you ahhhhh!!"

Jiang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment and instinctively took off running, dragging his suitcase.

"Jiang Huaiyu!! Hubby, look at me!!"

A deep, booming male voice startled Jiang Huaiyu so much he almost tripped. His pupils widened in shock behind his sunglasses.

Wh-what the hell?

Jiang Jiang, hiding among the crowd with a camera, was filming and howling with laughter all the while.

Heh heh heh...

He had never seen his second brother like this before.

Whoosh—

He flashed by, dragging his suitcase.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A crowd of people took off after him.

Bystander A pulled out their phone to film. "Who's that, a celebrity?"

"I don't know." Bystander B also quickly took out their phone.

"Huff... huff... huff..." Jiang Huaiyu bent over with his hands on his knees, looking at the group of people opposite him who were also huffing and puffing. "What on earth are you all doing?"

At this point, he still hadn't connected this incident to Jiang Jiang.

Perhaps because Jiang Jiang was willing to spend money, these hired extras were exceptionally dedicated.

"Huff... huff... Big brother, huff... we are, your, huff... fans!" The leader, still gasping for breath, pulled out a fan banner that had gotten crumpled during the chase and waved it frantically.

Jiang Huaiyu stared incredulously at the photo on the fan banner. It was indeed him, but...

"Jiang Jiang!!!"
