How can a substitute top have feelings? (MTL)

Chapter 10

Xie's parents took Xie Fei on a plane back to their hometown on the fifth day of the National Day, saying, "Xie Fei will start school soon, so we'll take her home to focus."

　　Xie Fei herself showed strong resistance to this - she had learned 18 ways to deal with the "white lotus ex of her target" on Baidu these days, and tried to improve her ability to deal with unexpected incidents. Next time if she met that person who insulted her brother again, she would definitely not be as cowardly as before, and she would drop the doll in her hand in fear.

　　However, Xie Fei did not have the chance to display his various martial arts as his own parents held the fate in their hands.

　　Before leaving, Xie Fei only had time to "pass on" to his brother all he had "learned throughout his life" - a purely handwritten collection of how to fight back against his perverted ex without any dirty words.

　　The cover is well disguised: a leisure read for my workaholic brother.

　　Xie Chenyou looked at the colorful cover and was silent for a while. Then he asked with a hint of doubt: "Is this the novel you wrote?"

　　When his brother was about to open it, Xie Fei covered his hand and lowered his head shyly: "Promise me, you'll look at it later."

　　Looking at this scene, Mr. Xie said to his wife, "They have such a good relationship as brother and sister."

　　Mother Xie agreed: "That's right, she didn't even let me read Feifei's diary, but she actually wrote it specifically for her brother to read."

　　Xie Chenyou readily accepted it: "Okay."

　　After his family left, Xie Chenyou finished dealing with work emails and planned to watch a movie to relax. His eyes suddenly swept across the small notebook with a colorful cover next to the vase, and Xie Chenyou picked it up.

　　Amid the ever-changing light and shadow of the TV, Xie Chenyou flipped open the notebook, and the first line that caught his eye was: What would you do if your ex deliberately came to discredit you in front of your current partner after you broke up?

　　Xie Chenyou: "..."

　　He leaned on the sofa with his head tilted back. The halo of light projected by the TV outlined his well-defined jawline and protruding Adam's apple. He was wearing a lead-gray round-neck home short-sleeved shirt. His exposed arms had no obvious muscle lines when he was relaxed. He looked elegant and relaxed.

　　Xie Chenyou's gaze fell on the corner of the ceiling. He was thinking about whether what he explained to his sister, 'He is indeed the ex that I told you about before, but we broke up a few days ago', was correct.

　　In fact, from a certain perspective, this is also a fact. He just concealed the content of the "stand-in contract".

　　But these words obviously made the sister mistakenly believe that she had liked Lin Wen deeply and couldn't help herself.

　　In Lin Wen's words, it was the claw machine technique that Xie Chenyou practiced in order to please him - Lin Wen could not only use it to insult and hurt Xie Chenyou who truly liked him at the beginning, but also disgust Xie Chenyou's future partner.

　　But in fact, during the three years that Xie Chenyou and Lin Wen were together, he always knew very clearly his role - he was the substitute for the person Lin Wen loved, and he would leave automatically after the three-year period was up.

　　He didn't put any emotion into it.

　　Not to mention that Lin Wen is not the type that Xie Chenyou likes, it would be too humble for him to fall in love with Lin Wen even though he knew that he was a substitute.
