Reborn To Love 53 Yang Siyue

53 Yang Siyue

‘However

he suddenly stretched a hand out and looked up dramatically

“Wait! Don’t leave! Sister in law!”‘

‘”. . . What?!” He Xinyan scrunched her face up when she heard what Gu Yebei just called her. What did that mean?’

‘He Xinyan’s mouth suddenly fell opened when a thought she had pushed away suddenly came back again

“You’re Gu Yechen’s brother?!”‘

‘Gu Yebei smiled sheepishly and slowly got up from the ground

“Surprising

right? I know

I know. I’m so much more handsome and likable than him. I’m also surprised that we are related.”‘

‘”. . .” He Xinyan didn’t know what to say and whether she should be surprised or not. She did guess that maybe Gu Yebei was somehow related to Gu Yechen

but she was still very surprised to find out that they were brothers.’

‘”Are you younger?” He Xinyan asked.’

‘”Yes

yes! Two years!” Gu Yebei responded as he held up two fingers with his hand

“Is it easy to tell? I look younger

right? I take care of my skin very

very well!”‘

‘”Is that why you called me over?”‘

‘Gu Yebei smiled

“Yep! I wanted to meet my future sister in law. . . Wow

my brother is quite lucky. He’s so unpleasant. Why would a beauty like you choose to date him?”‘

‘By now

He Xinyan had a basic understanding of who Gu Yebei was. He was like the opposite of his brother and was probably much easier to interact with.’

‘He Xinyan relaxed a bit and sat down on a chair in the corner of the room

“Is this your private resting room?”‘

‘Gu Yebei nodded

“Yes

yes. It’s much fancier than those tents

right? You can come over whenever you want. You’re always welcome!”‘

‘”. . . Are you trying to curry favor with me?”‘

‘Gu Yebei cleared his throat and looked away awkwardly

“You don’t have to expose me.”‘

‘”Why?”‘

‘”Hehe. . . Sister in law

you’re so pretty

you must be extremely kind too

right? When you are with my brother

can you talk good about me to him? You know

like increasing my allowance

or treating me to some good food.”‘

‘He Xinyan frowned

“If I talk good about you to him

you will probably be dead soon.”‘

‘Did Gu Yebei not know about the famous vinegar tub

Gu Yechen?! She wasn’t going to go dig her own grave and talk good about another man.’

‘Gu Yebei pouted and looked down dejectedly

“My sister in law doesn’t like me. . .”‘

‘He Xinyan eyed him up and down and sighed. The two brothers were so different. . .’

‘He Xinyan stood up to leave to check on the makeup tents again when there was a knock on the door. A few seconds later

a woman dressed in a traditional light blue gown walked in.’

‘Her makeup was completed already and she fanned herself with her script as she walked in

“Gu Yebei!”‘

‘He Xinyan gasped when she saw who it was

“Yang Siyue!”‘

‘Yang Siyue turned around and seemed to just notice He Xinyan. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at He Xinyan up and down

“Who’s this?”

‘”I’m He Xinyan

playing the role of Concubine Xi.” She felt as her heartbeat sped up in front of her idol.’

‘Yang Siyue suddenly frowned and turned to look at Gu Yebei

“Gu! Ye! Bei! How dare you hide such a pretty little girl inside your room and not show me?!”‘

‘Yang Siyue ran over to Gu Yebei in her long costume and strangled him with her arm.’

‘”Ah! Ah! Forgive me

sister Yang! Wait!” Gu Yebei swung his arms up and down like he was drowning

and He Xinyan watched their dramatic act with a weird expression.’

‘Wasn’t Yang Siyue a proud and elegant person. . .’

‘After hitting Gu Yebei several times on the head

Yang Siyue put her attention back to He Xinyan and she ran over

“Xinyan

right? Wow

you’re so pretty. Almost as pretty as me. . .”‘

‘Gu Yebei rolled his eyes

“Ch! Just admit it

she’s prettier than you.”‘

‘”What did you say?” Yang Siyue turned her head around and shot daggers at Gu Yebei.’

‘”Nothing

nothing. You’re the prettiest. . .”‘

‘After turning her head back around

Yang Siyue’s expression changed immediately

“Are you new to the industry? Do you need help? I can mentor you! Let’s be friends!”‘

‘He Xinyan was more than happy to be friends with Yang Siyue

and it would be an honor if she could be mentored by the acting queen. However

He Xinyan was still a little confused.’

‘”Um. . . Sister Yang

do we know each other?” Or else why was she treating her so affectionately.’

‘”Call me Siyue. Sister Yang makes me seem old. We know each other now.” Yang Siyue raised one eyebrow and wrapped her hand around He Xinyan’s arm.’

‘”Um. . .” A sudden thought popped up in He Xinyan’s brain

and it made her nervous. She was beginning to question Yang Siyue’s sexuality. . . Was her idol maybe

perhaps. . . attracted to females?!’

‘If that was true

over half of the men in the nation would probably be heartbroken.’

‘Although He Xinyan was suspicious

it was awkward to ask

so she held her curiosity in.’

‘”Thank you

sister. . . Siyue. I have to go get ready

so I’m going to leave now. I’ll see you later.” He Xinyan tried to leave

but Yang Siyue refused to let go.’

‘”You can come to my private changing room. It’s bigger than Gu Yebei’s room. Come

come!”‘

‘He Xinyan looked back at Gu Yebei and used her eyes to ask for help

hoping that he would understand. To her relief

he did.’

‘”Yang Siyue! Wait!” Gu Yebei stood up from the chair and carefully lifted his robe up this time to walk over.’

‘”You’re scaring our little Yanyan.” Gu Yebei turned to look at He Xinyan

“Don’t worry

little Yanyan. Yang Siyue is perfectly normal. . . She’s just a little. . . Well

she is a face-judger. She likes people that look good.”‘

‘”Oh

sister. . . Siyue is a face dog*!” He Xinyan relaxed after hearing that her idol didn’t like girls. Or else she would be in danger. . . What if Gu Yechen got jealous and refused for her to interact with her idol anymore? That would be bad. . .’

‘Yang Siyue nodded her head

“Xinyan

your looks perfectly match my taste. We can be friends.”‘

‘He Xinyan laughed a little awkwardly and nodded her head

“It would be my honor. Siyue

my assistant is still waiting for me

so I have to go. I will find you later.”‘

‘Yang Siyue seemed a little upset as she hesitantly let He Xinyan go

“Okay. . . Come and find me later. Oh

let’s exchange phone numbers.”‘

‘He Xinyan gave her phone number to Yang Siyue before she quickly ran away. After He Xinyan was gone

Yang Siyue glared at Gu Yebei for a few more seconds before she also left.’

‘Gu Yebei was left alone inside his private changing room

and he dramatically wiped away a fake tear

“I’m also good looking. . . Why doesn’t Yang Siyue also treat me like she treats Yanyan.”‘

‘—‘

‘He Xinyan quickly entered a tent and found an open spot to get her makeup done. She didn’t tell Wu Minger what happened because they were in a shortage of time

and filming was going to start soon.’

‘She finished her makeup and got her costume on just in time. When she walked out of the tent

she saw that filming for the first scene had started.’

‘*Face dog is a direct translation of a Chinese term yangou

which basically means someone who thinks that “appearance is power” and is more attracted to people who look better.’
