Traveling to the Star Empire to Raise an Emperor (Translated)

Chapter 4

As Ming Qingyu felt uneasy, Qi Jianuo, watching the handsome Qi Shiyan on the livestream, felt the same. He knew there was something fishy about the livestream and that it was a trap set by Ming Qingyu for Qi Shiyan. After Qi Shiyan signed up for the livestream, Ming Qingyu had told him that they would soon truly be together.

Because of this, Qi Jianuo had been watching the livestream closely from the start. Seeing the show organizers use the excuse of a spaceship malfunction to make Qi Shiyan enter an escape pod and then send it into a primitive forest, he felt ecstatic.

He knew Qi Shiyan well and predicted that Qi Shiyan's performance would be terrible. Despite his bad reputation over the past two years, Qi Shiyan's parents were still heroes. While young people disliked Qi Shiyan, older ones who had experienced twenty years of war, especially those saved by Qi Yuncheng, still supported Qi Shiyan.

In the end, Qi Shiyan hadn't committed any crimes, and many older people didn't believe everything they saw online. However, if Qi Shiyan performed poorly in this livestream, lacking any of Qi Yuncheng's demeanor, even those who cherished Qi Yuncheng would be deeply disappointed in Qi Shiyan.

Like Ming Qingyu, Qi Jianuo believed that after landing on that planet, Qi Shiyan would break down and be too scared to leave the escape pod, possibly staying there for all his basic needs. Though the latest livestream equipment would automatically block out bathroom scenes, he would still make a fool of himself.

Qi Jianuo was waiting for him to embarrass himself, but to his surprise, Qi Shiyan's reaction was different. How could Qi Shiyan have changed like this? Was his previous behavior all an act? Impossible. No one could pretend from early childhood! Could Qi Shiyan really have developed a second personality?

No matter what, as the caring elder brother, Qi Jianuo needed to react. He opened his verified interstellar account and posted a long blog. He first condemned the show's organizers for endangering Qi Shiyan by sending him into a dangerous forest. Then, he urged netizens not to speak ill of Qi Shiyan. Lastly, he expressed his own concern for Qi Shiyan.

As soon as Qi Jianuo posted, he received countless comments: 

"Jianuo, you're really too kind." 

"Despite being bullied by Qi Shiyan, you still care about him." 

"Jianuo, don't worry about Qi Shiyan. He'll just cause you more trouble!"

Qi Jianuo was four years older than Qi Shiyan and two years older than Ming Qingyu. He was widely recognized as Qi Shiyan's good brother. After Qi Shiyan's parents passed away and he moved in with the Qi family, Qi Jianuo's blog frequently updated with Qi Shiyan's daily life. Those who admired Qi Yuncheng and cared about Qi Shiyan were drawn to Qi Jianuo's blog, watching Qi Shiyan grow up bit by bit.

Qi Jianuo fed Qi Shiyan, told him stories, and played with him. The brotherly love they displayed attracted many admirers. The Qi Shiyan shown on Qi Jianuo's blog was adorable. However, the Qi Shiyan captured by the media had a bad temper, treated Qi Jianuo poorly, and never listened to him. Their relationship seemed more like Qi Jianuo being Qi Shiyan's servant rather than his brother.

When Qi Shiyan was young, no one said anything, but as he grew older and remained the same, people started to dislike him. Many former fans of Qi Shiyan began to sympathize with Qi Jianuo. But Qi Shiyan was still a minor then, so he wasn't heavily criticized. Once Qi Shiyan came of age, got engaged to Ming Qingyu, and more scandals emerged, the number of people who hated him increased.

While people despised Qi Shiyan, they pitied Qi Jianuo. Talented and a renowned musician, Qi Jianuo was also dedicated to charity. He performed free concerts for frontline soldiers annually, regularly visited orphanages with supplies, and organized various charitable activities. Despite his busy schedule, he often had to clean up Qi Shiyan's messes. Not long ago, while at an event, Qi Shiyan got drunk and caused a scene at a bar, forcing Qi Jianuo to leave and take him home.
