Wu Tianqi couldn't recall when he had ever mentioned his little aunt.
That was his biggest secret.
It was supposed to be buried in his heart forever, unlikely to be spoken out.
Could it have been after the last time he got drunk playing ball?
His family did have some distant relation to the wealthy Bai Family, which he occasionally flaunted.
But the truth was, the relationship was quite distant. If it weren't for his dad being the headmaster at their school, they wouldn't bother with his family at all.
Three years ago, the Bai Family invited all their distant relatives and friends over; it was the day the daughter of the wealthy family, Bai Qing, was leaving to study overseas, and also a day for the wealthy father to show off his parenting achievements.
It was then that he met his little aunt, Bai Qing, who was three years older than him.
Because of his looks, he was never popular with girls and gradually became reluctant to talk to them, immersing himself in his own world of novels.
The allure of fantasy novels was strongest for him because in fantasy novels, looks didn't matter.
The first time he saw Bai Qing, his brain was completely frozen.
That girl was just too beautiful, especially since she was wearing a dress that perfectly accentuated her figure that day.
He felt like a clown, lowering his head in inferiority until Bai Qing actively called out, "Little brother, could you help me with my dress?"
His heart raced; no girl had ever asked him for help before.
Shyly, he approached Bai Qing. Even though she wore a dress and her figure was quite alluring, he dared not look more than once.
But suddenly, Bai Qing extended her slender, graceful arm, asking him to hold it.
He was in a stupor for five whole minutes until Bai Qing left, and he fled away in embarrassment.
At that time, he didn't even know that Bai Qing was his little aunt in terms of family hierarchy.
Then he had no clue until he got to high school and accidentally discovered a cryptic code from someone.
Particularly it involved a plot called "Sister's XX."
From then on, no one in the world could replace Bai Qing in his heart.
And then came the shocking revelation: he inadvertently found out Bai Qing was his little aunt.
Though the relationship was distant, they were still within the traditional five-generation familial threshold.
Consequently, his mental state crumbled.
He no longer watched "Sister's XX," switching instead to another series called "Little Aunt's XX."
Suddenly, he spoke sternly to Li Yang, "Fellow Daoist Li, I hope you can give me face, let's say I never mentioned this, okay?"
Although Li Yang rarely saw Wu Tianqi being this serious, given it involved his 200,000, he didn't want to miss it.
So, decisively he refused, "No way! And you said some other things too..."
"No! Absolutely not!"
Before Li Yang could finish, Wu Tianqi interrupted him.
He seemed especially tense.
Li Yang was stunned. Goodness, he just said it casually, could it actually be true?
The circles here are really freaking messy.
Li Yang seized the moment to ask, "Quickly tell me about your little aunt. Maybe I can help you keep it a secret, won't let a third person know."
Wu Tianqi glared at Li Yang, "You've got Wang Manqi and now Jiang Banxia, why do you keep thinking about my little aunt?"
"Damn, since when did I have Wang Manqi? And when did I have Jiang Banxia? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you for slander!"
Li Yang appeared more agitated than Wu Tianqi.
After breaking up with Wang Manqi in his past life, he had dated two other girlfriends, but ended up inexplicably being asked about Wang Manqi, and then they started to talk about how much he spent on Wang Manqi and demanded the same as a gift...
It naturally ended up in a split, and then his reputation as a scumbag spread, he couldn't even find a chance for romance.
He figured out how his reputation got ruined, feelin' it was this rascal spreading around.
Wu Tianqi complained, "Dare you say you and Wang Manqi haven't double cultivated? That night the mock exams ended, I personally saw you submitting your paper early, waiting at Wang Manqi's exam room, then you both left school together, and it wasn't until the next afternoon you contacted me."
"For fuck's sake, that was..."
Li Yang cut himself off midway, because he didn't really know what he did.
Anyway, it must have been some simping behavior, probably either showing Wang Manqi the internet or finding an excuse to give her a gift.
"You can't explain it, right? And Jiang Banxia, maybe not yet, but she did ask you to go to the dorm, it's you who didn't agree... Anyway, there's no way I'm telling you anything about my little aunt."
"Damn... that's your little aunt..."
If it were another girl, Li Yang could understand.
Auntie though, is it worth it? Not worried about having your legs broken?
The more Li Yang spoke like this, the more Wu Tianqi felt Li Yang really did know.
"You're not saying, huh? Fine, I'll just go ask someone else."
Li Yang knew that wealthy man's daughter drowned to death, eventually it seemed ruled as suicide; except for a few bruises, no other marks were left.
Wu Tianqi didn't speak, just stared at Li Yang.
Not until Li Yang stood up, looking as if he was about to leave, did Wu Tianqi finally couldn't hold back asking, "What do you want to know? I'm not giving you her QQ."
Li Yang: "You have her QQ?"
"No."
"Then her phone number?"
"Don't have that either!"
Li Yang's face immediately dropped, "If you got nothing, how can you talk nonsense, how's her current mood?"
"Isn't it obvious? Her dad passed just a month ago."
"Do you know what she's been busy with lately?"
"I don't know, just heard she came back to the country two days ago, my dad told me."
"Anything else?"
"Nothing."
Li Yang: "..."
So Wu Tianqi also knows nothing then.
How the hell does he dare to claim familiarity?
"You're certain there's nothing else, right? I'm starting to spread rumors..."
Not feeling assured, he pressed Wu Tianqi a little more.
But this time, Wu Tianqi wasn't agitated, "Whatever, I only know this much anyway."
He understood his own mindset, first time holding a girl's hand all these years, and it was his little aunt.
Never imagined a beautiful girl would speak to him, before realizing Bai Qing's identity, he once considered himself the underdog protagonist in a romance film.
Li Yang, seeing the situation, said, "Alright then, I'll figure out the rest myself."
Wu Tianqi hesitated and said, "If you really do chase her down, can you just like her alone? Don't be a scumbag..."
Li Yang: "..."
This damn guy, if there was doubt before, now he's certain, it definitely was this guy spreading rumors about him everywhere!
