TECSBRO-(39)
Qi Sui had always planned to adopt, so even though the incident happened suddenly, the rooms for Lu Xu and Rong Que had already been arranged.
The decoration style featured a durable platinum color scheme, adorned with numerous shiny and expensive ornaments. However, it lacked a bit of childish charm.
The rooms assigned for Lu Xu and Rong Que were initially adjacent, but if the two kids wanted to sleep together, that was also not a problem.
Looking at the situation now, Qi Sui needed to prepare another room for Xue Ying. He also planned to set up a study and a game room.
When the kids grew older, there would be a dedicated esports room. Oh, right, he mustn't forget to arrange an art studio for Lu Xu.
Qi Sui, like a caring mother, meticulously planned the future room arrangements.
Xiao Er and Xiao Yi first packed up Rong Que and Lu Xu's belongings, and then Lu Xu went in to organize things according to his own preferences.
Thinking of teaching Lu Xu how to shop online, Qi Sui connected his family card.
Let Lu Xu buy things to decorate the room himself.
Lu Xu has been very happy since he entered the room, experiencing having his own space for the first time.
Although Qi Sui suggested that he could decorate it himself, Lu Xu shook his head, saying, "Xiao Lu likes the current look."
Qi Sui looked around and still felt it was a bit plain, so he patted Lu Xu's head and said, "Xiao Lu, how about filling those shelves with figurines of your Little Rabbit Sister?"
"Doesn't this area seem suitable for displaying a row of Little Rabbit Sister's standees?"
"Perhaps this wall could use some richer decorations?"
"And this desk, how about putting a row of Little Rabbit Sister's manga on the bookshelf?"
Lu Xu listened with wide eyes.
Being surrounded by Little Rabbit Sister's merchandise seemed very joyful!
Actually, Qi Sui didn't intend for Lu Xu to develop an interest in the world of anime and manga, but currently, he only knew that Lu Xu really liked Little Rabbit Sister, so there was nothing else he could do.
All this effort was just to let Lu Xu spend some money.
He even deliberately chose expensive official merchandise and watched it together with Lu Xu.
Lu Xu indeed developed an interest.
On the other side, after tidying up his own room, Rong Que knocked on the door and entered.
Seeing Qi Sui enthusiastically buying merchandise for Lu Xu, he didn't say anything.
After all, Lu Xu's first drawing was of Little Rabbit Sister, and perhaps in the future, he could become a well-known anime and manga artist.
After Qi Sui placed the orders for Lu Xu, all that was left was to wait for the deliveries.
He also bought a few blind box sets. After all, which kid doesn't like blind boxes?
Lu Xu showed great interest in drawing anime and illustrations. Cultivating this interest might lead him to become a comic artist or illustrator in the future.
Qi Sui took them to tour other rooms. Since they hadn't been intentionally arranged before, there was nothing special about them.
When they came out, Auntie called them for dinner.
Xue Ying just came out from his room, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Although Xue Ying always had the same demeanor, looking downcast, at this moment, he was clearly emitting a low pressure.
After being seated, Qi Sui directly took out his phone and opened Weibo.
One thing that could irritate Xue Ying was often related to the entertainment industry's scandals.
However, Qi Sui couldn't open it; Weibo was unexpectedly lagging.
He realized the seriousness of the issue.
If this lag was related to Xue Ying, it would be even worse.
Qi Sui anxiously refreshed the page several times, and finally, it opened.
The top trending topic on the homepage was followed by an explosive headline: "Single Movie Emperor unexpectedly has two illegitimate children with a same-sex partner? Is it through surrogacy?"
What kind of nonsense was this?
Qi Sui was dumbfounded after reading the headline.
He clicked into the post and found a blurry picture. In the photo, he and Xue Ying were holding hands, with Rong Que and Lu Xu standing beside them.
Because they were in a villa area, Xue Ying wasn't wearing a mask as usual. From the angle captured in the photo, half of Xue Ying's face was clearly visible.
So, it was almost confirmed.
Fortunately, Rong Que and Lu Xu were not exposed in terms of appearance, and Qi Sui had just turned his head, showing only his back, revealing a male figure.
Looking at it this way, it really looked like a family of four.
Qi Sui didn't hesitate to send a message to his father, "Help remove the trending topic."
Qi Sui's father: I don't care about these things.
Qi Sui circled himself in the photo and sent it, saying, "This is your son."
Qi Sui's father didn't reply.
Qi Sui immediately opened Weibo, refreshed several times, and clicked into the profile of the person who posted the photo. The account had already disappeared.
That was fast.
Qi Sui handed his phone to Xue Ying, showing him the new trending topic on Weibo. Xue Ying was initially resistant, but after taking a look, he was stunned.
The trending topic was gone.
However, this didn't mean the matter was over. Xue Ying sighed, "It will come up again soon. When I saw it, it already had millions of reposts."
Almost everyone who opened Weibo could see this topic.
Qi Sui frowned; these paparazzi were really annoying. "Why don't you just clarify things?"
Xue Ying squeezed his phone, "I can only do that."
Seeing Xue Ying editing his Weibo, Qi Sui didn't bother and continued eating.
After lunch, when the two kids went to Lu Xu's room for an afternoon nap, Qi Sui opened Weibo and found it blank again.
Weibo was stuck again.
Qi Sui looked at Xue Ying in horror, "How did you clarify?"
Xue Ying turned around, looking at him, "Oh, I just said the children were adopted, and my partner is a non-public figure. I hope not to disturb my private life, or else I will send a lawyer's letter."
"!!!" Qi Sui was dumbfounded. Clarifying should not involve explaining too much; it was just going out with friends!
How did he end up being referred to as a partner?
Noticing Qi Sui's shock, Xue Ying explained pitifully, "There's no other way. If I say they're friends, they won't believe it. My fans are very rational. If they think they're my family, maybe they won't pursue this matter further."
Qi Sui absentmindedly said, "You handled it, that's good."
Anyway, they shouldn't be able to recognize him.
This friend's handling of things was really unreliable.

A week passed, and Lu Xu's merchandise arrived sporadically. On Friday night, he couldn't wait to call for Rong Que to decorate together.
However, Rong Que unusually refused him and disappeared into his room after dinner.
Holding the package in confusion, Lu Xu felt a bit lost. It was the first time he had seen Rong Que like this.
He wanted to ask what Rong Que was doing, but Rong Que replied gently, suggesting they discuss it later.
Perhaps he was busy with something.
Lu Xu didn't dwell on it, returned to his room, and started unpacking.
However, due to his limited height, he still needed Qi Sui's help.
The two hadn't finished decorating when Rong Que knocked on Lu Xu's door.
Originally feeling a bit down due to Rong Que's refusal, Lu Xu's mood lifted at the thought of Rong Que knocking. He hurriedly opened the door, wearing his slippers in a reversed manner.
With hands behind his back, Rong Que, appearing in good spirits, asked, "Lu Xu, is it done?"
Lu Xu happily hugged Rong Que and rubbed against him. "Not yet, Rong Que gege, want to do it together?"
"Guess what this is." Without answering immediately, Rong Que took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from behind.
It was the first time Lu Xu received such a large gift. He eagerly took it and couldn't wait to unwrap it.
The next moment, his eyes lit up.
Just by opening the box, he could see accessories like the same hairpin and gloves as Little Rabbit Sister, and at the bottom was a costume identical to Little Rabbit Sister's, recognizable even from the neckline.
Lu Xu held the box, jumping excitedly a couple of times. "So pretty!"
"Try it on, the comic expo is tomorrow." Rong Que took advantage of the time Lu Xu spent attending painting classes every day for a month and finally finished it today.
Qi Sui also agreed, "The makeup artist I booked will arrive tomorrow at eight in the morning, so don't sleep in."
Due to the custom tailoring for Lu Xu's figure, Rong Que used high-quality fabrics to ensure a comfortable fit. The cost of the entire outfit is higher than that of an exquisite adult cosplay costume, but it is more authentic and lacks a plastic feel.
After the trial fitting, it already has about eighty to ninety percent resemblance.
Wearing the complete set tomorrow will probably look very good.
Auntie brought them bedtime sheep's milk. After Lu Xu finished drinking and taking a bath, he obediently lay down.
Their bed is quite large now, allowing them to roll around freely. Lu Xu no longer enjoys sticking to Rong Que all night like before. Sometimes, he even wraps himself in the quilt and rolls ninety degrees away. His legs might kick Rong Que's legs.
Rong Que is quite helpless; he can only use his abilities to lift Lu Xu back and continue sleeping.
However, Rong Que has been having fewer nightmares lately. Probably because his friends are still around, and the days are lively.
Rong Que didn't tell Lu Xu about this, as he still prefers to accompany Lu Xu to sleep. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if he catches a chill from kicking the blanket at night.
Sometimes, Rong Que has to get up three or four times in one night to tidy up the blanket for Lu Xu.
When he is awakened again in the middle of the night, he helplessly turns Lu Xu to face him, covers both of them tightly with the blanket, and finally, he uses his arm to drape over Lu Xu to prevent him from rolling around.
Curled up in Rong Que's arms, Lu Xu may or may not be awake, and he playfully curves his lips.
