Chu Ruolin came along with Yang Ran, and when they saw Chu Ruochun, the child was delighted.

Also joining them were Ming Yuxian and his nephew, Ming Ziheng.

Ming Ziheng was also happy to see Chu Ruochun and felt a stronger sense of closeness to him than even to his uncle.

The program team had made hotel reservations in advance, and everyone checked in directly. When the director wanted to personally thank Master Huai Ci of Jingkong Si, the reception staff stopped him. Master Huai Ci was probably quite upset now, as the conference on metaphysical studies had taken a major detour, and it was unlikely that he would see any visitors.

The program team didn’t want to pry further, so they decided to proceed with their original plans. Moreover, Chu Ruochun brought good news to the program team – that Feng Qi would be a guest on the show!

This delighted the program director, who quickly devised a new plan and scheduled a sightseeing trip for tomorrow.

To express their gratitude to Chu Ruochun, Ming Yuxian booked a table at the hotel for dinner.

Having met Ming Yuxian at a previous event, Feng Qi was naturally present at the dining table.

“Mr. Ming, will you also be participating in the recording tomorrow?” He sat next to Chu Ruochun on the left side, while the two children were on his right.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve spent quality time with the kid. Doing this show for them is worth it,” Ming Yuxian said, looking at Ming Ziheng. He even offered Chu Ruolin an Orleans chicken wing, “Ruolin, would you like a chicken wing? Uncle will get one for you too.”

“Eat, thank you, Uncle.” Chu Ruolin happily began eating the chicken wing.

After watching the “live broadcast” all day and enduring a tiring journey, everyone looked at the two innocent and naive children eating with such sincerity. Their moods improved significantly, and it seemed like all the negativity had dissipated at that moment. The unpleasantness of the day had been cleansed away.

Ming Ziheng was currently seeing a psychologist, and with the company of Chu Ruolin and the two foxes, he had started to speak more.

“I had chicken wings at school yesterday too, but they weren’t made like this. But they were delicious. Uncle, can you make them for me next time?”

“Sure, I’ll make them for you when we get back.”

“I want to eat them too.” Ming Ziheng spoke up voluntarily.

Ming Yuxian was thrilled. He had thought it would take a long time to heal his child’s psychological trauma, but the progress was surprisingly rapid. He was very grateful to Chu Ruochun and Chu Ruolin.

In his excitement, Ming Yuxian wanted to showcase his cooking skills, “When we get back, I’ll make them for you.”

The two children cheered, and they both took a few more bites of their food.

Feeling like he still didn’t fully understand Chu Ruochun, Feng Qi had a lingering sense that there was more to him. He leaned in close to Chu Ruochun and whispered, “I can also barbecue chicken wings, and I’m excellent at pan-searing steaks. Would you like to try them?”

“Sure, do you know how to make French fries too?” Chu Ruochun asked him.

“I do.”

Chu Ruolin’s ears perked up at the mention of French fries, and she started to feel hungry, “Can I have French fries, Uncle?”

Feng Qi’s expression paused for a moment, “Call me ‘Brother’ instead.”

Chu Ruochun displayed his happiest smile of the day.

“Why are you laughing? The generational titles are all mixed up. He called me ‘Uncle,’ and you should call me ‘Uncle’ too when the time comes,” Feng Qi felt like an elder brother.

“Then I’ll call you ‘Brother’,” Chu Ruochun replied.

“Me too.” Chu Ruolin always followed his brother’s lead, and he gave a quick glance at Feng Qi.

Meanwhile, Ming Yuxian, the only one addressed as “Uncle” at the dinner table, was left speechless. Suddenly, his generational title had changed, and it didn’t make him happy at all. After all, he wasn’t that old. Unfortunately, the generational title between Ming Ziheng and him couldn’t be altered.

“Uncle,” Ming Ziheng suddenly addressed him.

“Yes.” Well, his nephew was also adorable. If the generational title changed, so be it. He could afford to give him red envelopes. “What would you like to eat, Uncle will serve it for you.”

That night, they recorded the first episode of their program “Siblings Back-to-back.”

As a guest on the show, Chu Ruochun was the most ordinary and least exposed. Many viewers tuned in for the other four guests who were full of entertaining stories. Chu Ruochun had the lowest fame and no significant works.

— Chu Ruochun and his brother are so boring.

— Who is Chu Ruochun? Never heard of him. Does he have any notable work? What’s the point of calling him a celebrity?

— I always skip through when these brothers appear. Their lives are too dull. They wake up early to meditate, but what’s the selling point here?

— Every family has pets. Sun Lei has three cats and a dog, Du Xin has two dogs, Zhu Ge Shen has several parrots, and Wei Wei has cats too, all of which were adopted. They all have so much compassion.

— But Chu Ruochun’s family raises foxes, and this fox seems to understand human nature so well.

— Oh my gosh, I think he wins. Cats and dogs are common, but a fox is quite rare.

— Huh? They went to Jingzhou TV station, and they brought out a white fox!

— Even though I don’t know why the TV station allowed them to bring a fox inside, this white fox is too adorable!

— Is the white fox from Bai Yichen’s family?

— How come I didn’t know that Chu Ruochun and Bai Yichen were so close?

— But Chu Ruochun and his brother were accompanied by Bai Yichen’s manager, so it’s not fake.

— Their interaction is so cute, oh my god, it’s making me laugh. Ruolin calls them ‘Big Fox’ and ‘Fox Two’!

— Not to ruin the mood, but aren’t these two foxes protected animals? Isn’t this illegal?

The editing of the program was quite friendly towards Chu Ruochun and Chu Ruolin. There was almost no negative content. Under Chu Ruochun’s influence, apart from the humorous and funny moments, the program didn’t intentionally create conflicts among the siblings, and it was edited in a friendly direction.

You should know that the production team of “Siblings Back-to-back” used to be quite isolated, often criticized by netizens, and frequently clashed with celebrities.

But this time, they had a change of heart, and netizens were celebrating in the live chat.

— Congratulations, the director has finally become human.

— What made the director repent? Oh, I know, it’s those two adorable little foxes. They are so well-behaved!

— Ahhh, the foxes are worshipping the moon! So fox spirits do exist! There really are foxes worshipping the moon!

— Ahhhhhh! Hello, Fox Immortal!

— Ahhhhhh! Hello, Fox Immortal! I hope I pass my Level 6 exam this month!

— Farewell, Fox Immortal! I hope I pass my provincial exams!

— Farewell, Fox Immortal! I must get my dream OFFER!

— Ahhhhhh! So excited! Hello, Fox Immortal! I hope I have good luck this month!

Anyway, for some reason, the chat was full of these messages. Whenever Chu Ruochun’s two foxes appeared, any negative messages were drowned out. These were the most superstitious netizens they had ever encountered.

The production team felt that they had hidden their talents well, and the Fox Immortal might actually be real. The one they absolutely couldn’t offend was Chu Ruochun. He was the big shot behind the scenes. Luckily, they realized this early!

On the first day, Chu Ruochun’s attention was completely occupied by the two foxes.

The first episode of “Siblings Back-to-back” concluded.

When the viewers returned after watching the next episode, the live chat was filled with strange messages.

— I’m here to apologize!

— I bow down to Chu Ruochun, he’s amazing!

— Sob, sob, from today on, I want to be a fan of Chu Ruochun, but please, no collapsing houses.

— Ahhhhh, I’m a strange creature, don’t ask why, go watch the next episode and refresh your worldview.

— I declare that “Siblings Back-to-back” officially starts from the next episode of the first episode!

The second episode of “Siblings Back-to-back” began.

Chu Ruochun showcased his traditional Chinese medicine skills, and all the netizens who had doubted his abilities started to quiet down.

In the beginning, the netizens had wondered if Chu Ruochun was just building a public image, but later, when they saw the renowned traditional Chinese medicine expert and a doctor from a major hospital making an appearance, they even went to search his biography.

Oh my!

Even the renowned traditional Chinese medicine expert recognized him as a talent? Could it be that he really was a talent?

Next was about Ming Ziheng.

But who could have predicted that the development that followed was something no one could have guessed!

Chu Ruochun not only helped the child with his medical issue but also uncovered a child abduction case.

From seeking medical help to reporting it to the police, Chu Ruochun handled it all without alerting the human traffickers, remaining remarkably composed.

Netizens watched with nervous anticipation, and in the end, a family-oriented program turned into a legal show in Chu Ruochun’s hands, with a happy ending. The human traffickers were apprehended, and as for their crimes against humanity, they would have to wait for the police report.

At this moment, the live chat was filled with: “Is your master still your master?”

As soon as this episode aired, several trending topics appeared on Weibo, all related to “Siblings Back-to-back,” and all of them were driven by organic user engagement. The production team didn’t have to pay for these trending topics.

Production Team: Chu Ruochun is truly amazing.

He can either cool down a show or make it instantly popular.

Even Bai Yichen posted a tweet related to Chu Ruochun.

Bai Yichen: White Fox Immortal is the cutest!

——Brother, what’s going on with you? Are you planning to raise foxes?

——Directing me to “Siblings Back-to-back”, I’m chasing after the same variety show as my idol. Happy times!

——Big Fox and Fox Two cracked me up. Kids’ world is definitely different from adults’, for sure, they’re naming them Big Fox and Fox Two.

——Brother, is Fox Two really your pet?

Bai Yichen was furious and posted another tweet: White Fox isn’t called Fox Two, it has a name!

——What’s its name then?

——Wait, is Fox Two really yours?

——Did you get an ID for the fox?

——Quick question, do you need to neuter a fox if you keep one?

Bai Yichen: …

He was ready to curse someone out right now!

Early in the morning, when Feng Qi learned about the huge success of Chu Ruochun’s show, he, who often disappeared from the entertainment circle due to filming, saw interactions between Bai Yichen and Chu Ruochun.

Wait, when did they get to know each other?

And they even bought identical foxes. He was just filming a drama; what had he missed out on?

The filming for the program started early in the morning, and this time, Feng Qi was a guest. While having breakfast in the restaurant, he approached Chu Ruochun and whispered, “When did you become so close to Bai Yichen? You even bought foxes together.” There was an unprecedented sourness in his tone.

His memory was still stuck in the time when the villa incident happened last time. Weren’t they just exchanging WeChat contacts?

Chu Ruochun leaned closer and said, “Do you really think I’m raising foxes?”

His voice was very low, and Feng Qi felt like his heart was tickled by feathers, making him itch.

Feng Qi felt a bit uneasy, and his hand, pouring orange juice, was trembling slightly. “Isn’t it foxes?”

Chu Ruochun said, “Guess?”

Feng Qi thought about the extraordinary things he had witnessed involving Chu Ruochun and realized that common sense might not apply. “It can’t possibly be fox spirits.”

As soon as he said that, Chu Ruochun patted his arm and said, “Feng ge, you’re getting smarter today.”

Today, Feng Qi didn’t want to be a smart person. He just wanted to learn from one situation to apply it to another. “So, what’s the white fox’s name?”

He was starting to get a bit concerned about this.

Chu Ruocun tossed him three words, “Bai Yichen,” and walked away while holding his glass of milk.

Feng Qi followed with his half-full glass of orange juice, saying, “I know he’s Bai Yichen… who raises them.” Wait a minute, that logic doesn’t make sense!

Why would Bai Yichen be raising foxes? He had known Bai Yichen for years and had never seen him show any interest in small animals. On the other hand, every time he visited Bai Yichen’s home, Yang Wenxin would prepare a table full of chicken dishes.

The answer was becoming crystal clear.

Feng Qi shook his head vigorously and firmly thought to himself: My friend absolutely cannot be a fox spirit!
