My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 205 IF Line - Are you the one above?

Irresponsible IF Side Story - 09

Jiang Haochen came during his free time. He was recording a program in H City in the morning, and came to the examination hall to pick up Chi Yuan after getting off the plane in the afternoon. He only had a few hours in between, and he also had a magazine cover to shoot in the evening.

To celebrate his child's completion of the college entrance examination, Jiang Haochen took Chi Yuan out for a nice meal and then planned to call a car to take the child home. However, Chi Yuan refused, saying he had never seen a magazine shoot before and was curious to go along.

Jiang Haochen figured that since the college entrance exam was over anyway, he didn't object.

While getting his makeup done, Jiang Haochen gave Chi Yuan a heads-up: "Shooting for a magazine is actually quite boring. It's just about posing in front of the camera. If you get bored later, have Xiao Cui call a car to take you home."

Chi Yuan agreed verbally, but in his heart he was thinking that he would never be bored.

The makeup artist, a very cute girl, removed Jiang Haochen's foundation and complimented him, "Brother Jiang, your skin is so good! What brand of face mask are you using?"

Jiang Haochen was always generous: "I still have some in my bag, I'll have Xiao Cui get you a box later."

Makeup artist: "I can't possibly accept that."

Jiang Haochen: "Just make me look handsome."

The makeup artist couldn't stop smiling and quickly said, "Brother Jiang is already handsome, I just need to apply a base layer."

Chi Yuan watched his brother chatting with the makeup artist. Although his brother had a big smile on his face, he could tell that his brother was a little tired.

This makeup artist is so long-winded. Why does she keep talking to her brother? Can't she just do her makeup properly?

Seeing that the makeup artist was about to talk about his brother's recently released movie, Chi Yuan couldn't help but interject, "Brother, you haven't had a good rest these past few days. Take a nap while you're getting your makeup done."

Upon hearing this, the makeup artist couldn't bring herself to talk about the movie anymore, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, Brother Jiang, take a nap, and you'll be done when you wake up."

Jiang Haochen glanced at Chi Yuan: "It's okay, I'll chat with you for a while."

The child said he was curious about the magazine shoot, but after arriving, he kept following him, so he probably wanted to talk to him more. He only had time to come back for one night and had to go back to the film set tomorrow.

Chi Yuan shook his head: "I'll go get the face mask for the makeup artist."

He then got up and went out to find Xiao Cui.

No girl dislikes being called "sister" by a handsome young man. The makeup artist immediately beamed, "Oh my, this little brother is so well-behaved, both cute and handsome."

Jiang Haochen chuckled and nodded, then closed his eyes, looking genuinely tired. When he opened them again, Chi Yuan was sitting quietly in the chair behind him, scrolling through his phone. As if sensing his gaze, the boy's beautiful eyes looked at him, and the moment he saw him, two shallow dimples appeared on his lips.

Jiang Haochen's heart softened: "Let's go, we didn't come to watch the filming."

Chi Yuan hummed in agreement and skipped after him.

The filming process went relatively smoothly, but it still lasted two or three hours. Xiao Cui was so tired that he eventually went to the dressing room to sleep. Jiang Haochen also told Chi Yuan to rest, but Chi Yuan didn't go and stayed by Jiang Haochen's side. Whenever Jiang Haochen rested, Chi Yuan would rush over to bring him water and food. He was even more of a helper than Xiao Cui, Jiang Haochen's assistant.

As a result of all this commotion, Chi Yuan fell asleep on the way back.

The photography studio was closer to Jiang Haochen's apartment, so Xiao Cui walked Jiang Haochen to the apartment building and said, "Brother Jiang, get some rest."

Jiang Haochen didn't say anything, but just glanced at the sleeping Chi Yuan.

Xiao Cui laughed: "He was full of energy before, I thought he was a tough guy. Don't worry, I'll take him back to his dorm."

Tianyu's dormitory is more than half an hour's drive away.

Jiang Haochen: "Forget it, it's too much trouble."

As he spoke, Jiang Haochen reached out and patted the boy's shoulder, softly calling out, "Chi Yuan."

Chi Yuan woke up groggily: "Brother? Are we home?"

Jiang Haochen laughed: "We're home, we're at your brother's house. Get up and go upstairs to sleep."

A glint flashed in Chi Yuan's eyes. He turned to look at the apartment door outside the window, quickly got up, and got out of the car with his brother.

"You must be tired after a long day, get some rest." After saying goodbye to Xiao Cui, Jiang Haochen led Chi Yuan into the apartment. Chi Yuan was quiet the whole way, and Jiang Haochen assumed the child was still sleepy, so he didn't say anything.

Once inside and in slippers, the child's eyes lit up, darting around the room.

Jiang Haochen found it amusing: "What are you looking for?"

Chi Yuan: "Check if there's anyone else in the room."

Jiang Haochen said irritably, "What do you mean by 'other people'? I live in this house all by myself, and I only stay here a few days a year."

As she walked towards the second bedroom, she saw that the housekeeper had already made up the sheets and blankets, and then she felt relieved: "You'll sleep here tonight."

Chi Yuan responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "Will other people stay here too?"

Jiang Haochen: "Didn't I already tell you? I live alone."

Chi Yuan didn't believe it: "This bedroom clearly looks like someone's lived here, otherwise why would you make a bed?"

Jiang Haochen: "This was laid out by the housekeeper. I'm rarely home, so she probably thought I'd use the guest bedroom, so she laid it all out. Wait a minute..."

Jiang Haochen clicked his tongue and looked at the child strangely: "Why have you been asking about others ever since you came in? What, did you see me bring people back?"

Chi Yuan: "I guessed."

Jiang Haochen was speechless: "You guessed it. I didn't realize you had the potential to be a paparazzi. You stir up trouble out of nothing and spread rumors."

Chi Yuan retorted, "I'm not making things up out of thin air; I'm just making a reasonable deduction."

Jiang Haochen became interested: "How did you make that reasonable deduction? Tell me about it."

Chi Yuan looked at his brother and said matter-of-factly, "Brother, haven't you always wanted to mess around?"

Jiang Haochen was nearly furious. He pretended to hit him, saying, "You little brat, you still say you're not spreading rumors? How did I mess around?"

Chi Yuan dodged and ran to the living room, yelling, "I didn't say you were messing around, I said you wanted to mess around. Didn't you want to mess around last summer? But you said you were afraid of affecting me, so you didn't. Now that I've finished my college entrance exams, you have no more scruples, and I think you might mess around again."

Jiang Haochen's forehead veins throbbed as he listened to the nonsensical rambling. "Does this brat even know how to use words? He calls himself a top student and academic genius, but his Chinese language skills are like this?"

but……

It really is time to start dating.

His line of work is inherently busy; sometimes a year can pass after filming one movie. He's already 27; if he doesn't hurry, he might end up as a 30-year-old monk.

Chi Yuan had been watching his brother's expression closely. Seeing this, he immediately became nervous: "Brother, do you have someone you want to mess around with? Is it still that Xie guy?"

It's been a year, and his brother still likes that person?

Xie Lingzhou?

They hadn't seen each other since their last collaboration on set; their different statuses meant their schedules didn't overlap. However, their new drama is set to air later this year, so they should be able to meet for promotional events.

Jiang Haochen is a very picky person, otherwise he wouldn't be single until now. He hasn't met anyone he likes this year. Now that Chi Yuanyi reminded him, his mind started to wander again.

Jiang Haochen: Let's talk about it when we meet.

If he still feels that way.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan realized his brother was really planning to go find that Xie guy. What was so great about him? He wasn't even as good-looking as him.

Suppressing his jealousy, Chi Yuan asked, "Brother, what do you like about him?"

Jiang Haochen glanced at him: "Don't you have someone you like? What do you like about him?"

He hadn't asked before because he was worried about his child taking the college entrance exam, but now that he remembered, Jiang Haochen decided to ask.

Chi Yuan's eyes suddenly became hesitant as he looked at his brother, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Jiang Haochen wasn't buying it. He slapped his head and said, "Stop playing the victim and tell me the truth."

Chi Yuan lowered his head, rubbing his hands together, looking embarrassed.

Jiang Haochen chuckled: "Are you embarrassed now? Who was it that kept messaging me, saying she liked him, and dreaming about him?"

Jiang Haochen's words only made Chi Yuan's face turn even redder.

Those dreams, those dreams...

He glanced at his brother's face, then quickly looked away as if he'd been burned.

In those dreams, his brother was towards him...

The child's expression was so obvious; he was clearly thinking about something inappropriate for children. Jiang Haochen's alarm bells immediately went off. This kid had asked him if he could do whatever he wanted on his eighteenth birthday.

No, we have to talk.

"Come here, I want to talk to you." Jiang Haochen pulled the child to sit down on the sofa.

Chi Yuan didn't dare sit too close to his brother, so he sat cross-legged on the carpet.

Jiang Haochen felt a little awkward, but there were some things he had to say: "You...are you thinking of confessing your feelings after the college entrance exam?"

Chi Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "I want to pursue her first."

Thankfully, I haven't caught up with him yet.

Wait a minute, who is this person who doesn't like his brother?

Jiang Haochen continued, "Did you confirm before you started pursuing her? Did you like men, and did she like you too?"

Chi Yuan nodded: "I like it."

He's not straight, but with his brother's looks, he'd be easy to woo.

Jiang Haochen felt uncomfortable. He told himself not to be sensitive, and after composing himself for a while, he continued, "Then let me ask you, if you succeed in winning her over, would you want to be the one on top or the one on the bottom?"

After asking that question, Jiang Haochen was really afraid that his brother would say, "Which one feels better?" and then continue to ask him whether the top or the bottom felt better.

Fortunately, Chi Yuan seemed to have forgotten about that question and instead asked, "Brother, are you the one on top or the one on the bottom?"

Jiang Haochen replied without hesitation, "Of course it's the one on top."

Chi Yuan stared wide-eyed at his brother.

Jiang Haochen took the opportunity to educate his younger brother: "You should also be like the one above, and take the initiative in everything."

That way, at least you won't suffer too much of a loss.

Chi Yuan looked troubled upon hearing this.

Jiang Haochen took one look and realized, "Oh no, does my brother want to be the one below?" This...this...we don't even know if this thing is innate. If it is, it's not good to ask my brother to change it.

Jiang Haochen was debating whether to continue brainwashing his brother and turn this little bottom into a fierce top when he heard his brother say, "I have to watch him."

Jiang Haochen: "What do you mean?"

Chi Yuan said earnestly, "I like him, so of course I want to be with him. If he wants to be the one on top, then I'll be the one on the bottom. If he wants to be the one on the bottom, then I'll be the one on top."

Wow, she really loves it! She even goes to great lengths to avoid having the same phone number as someone else. Such a top student, and she's totally obsessed with romance!!!

Jiang Haochen was heartbroken. His younger brother was so good, so handsome, so fair-skinned, chubby, and sensible. What kind of jerk made him like him so much?

Jiang Haochen gritted his teeth and asked again, "What exactly do you like about him?"

Chi Yuan looked at his brother and said earnestly, "I don't know what I like about him. I just think he's great in every way. Just thinking about him and seeing him makes me happy. I think about him when I'm happy, I think about him when I'm sad, I think about him when I'm alone, and I still think about him in noisy crowds. As long as I think about him, I feel..."

Chi Yuan clutched his chest: "It feels full and warm, like it's about to overflow."

"Brother, this means you like him, right?"

The boy sat on the carpet, looking up at the young man sitting upright on the sofa. His eyes were bright, his brows were smiling, and he exuded an aura of happiness.

So, just liking someone can bring such happiness?

How could he possibly stop such happiness?

"Yes, I like it."

The boy smiled happily: "Brother, can I win his heart?"

Jiang Haochen: "Yes, you can."

The boy's eyes were so bright that Jiang Haochen felt annoyed. He raised his hand to cover the boy's eyes and then pushed his head hard.

"Stop showing off, go to sleep!"

He doesn't want to hear it!
