"Task completed, would you like to enter the next world?"

"Yes."

Ye Qiu woke up from the darkness, already aware of his identity in this life. In this life, he was in an old-fashioned romance novel, where the protagonists were the kind who love each other but misunderstand each other and refuse to explain, only finally getting together after multiple misunderstandings.

The original character was a male supporting role, but not the malicious type. His role was to help the protagonists break free of constraints in their relationship. He was the elder brother of the male protagonist, Ye Yanting, and also the fiancée of the female protagonist, Gu Wanqin.

One rainy night, the female protagonist, Gu Wanqin, ran out, and as her fiancé, he was worried and chased after her, but unfortunately, fate was not kind to him and he got into a car accident, becoming a vegetable.

Because the original became a vegetable, the female protagonist moved into the Ye Family out of guilt. Ostensibly to take care of him, but secretly her relationship with Ye Yanting grew closer until the grandmother caught them being overly affectionate, at which point they confessed their relationship to everyone.

The Ye Family was first furious upon finding out, then silent. But in any case, Ye Qiu could no longer marry Gu Wanqin, while Ye Yanting could, and since these two young people truly loved each other, the families, due to cooperation, tacitly accepted their relationship.

If this were all, the original might not have been angry. What angered him was that every time the protagonists argued, the female protagonist used him as a shield, even impulsively suggesting having a wedding with him, a vegetable, and practically dragging him to the chapel. Of course, they didn’t marry, but the original’s vegetative body was weakened by them, eventually leading to his death.

The male protagonist was the original’s younger brother, and the original always loved the female protagonist. Even after all that happened, the original only wanted Ye Qiu to help avoid the car accident, allowing the protagonists to be together and to subsequently enjoy life.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes, thinking that the task in this world wasn’t too difficult. The story was at the stage where the protagonists have feelings for each other but are suppressed due to identity constraints. He just needed to wait for these two to reach fruition and then leave seamlessly.

In the morning, Ye Qiu woke up following his biological clock and went downstairs. The house was luxurious but not always wealthy, having only prospered from his dad, Ye Zhiliang, starting out. The original still remembered living in the countryside with his grandma until his dad bought this house in A City, settled down, and brought them back. By then, his younger brother was already three.

Because his parents were absent during his childhood, they always kept the younger son by their side, and the parents spoiled Ye Yanting the most. In comparison, Ye Qiu was closer to his grandmother.

The names alone show this: Ye Qiu sounds randomly chosen, while Ye Yanting’s is thoughtfully given. However, being the eldest, Ye Qiu was always excellent, while the younger Ye Yanting seemed rebellious, so the parents raised Ye Qiu to be the heir. But even so, the parents repeatedly expressed that Ye Yanting’s share of the company wouldn’t be small.

The original never minded this. His brother Ye Yanting always showed respect for him as the elder brother, so even though he worked hard and split half the profits with his brother, he felt it was deserved.

"Eat quickly, today Grandma specially made you dumplings." Grandma’s surname is Chen, born into a traditional family with an ill-sounding name, Zhaodi. Despite some old-fashioned tendencies, she unconditionally doted on Ye Qiu, the one she raised close by from young.

The male protagonist Ye Yanting disdained Grandma’s lifestyle habits, but Ye Qiu didn’t mind because it was her way of caring. Those years were truly poor, and Grandma often wouldn’t eat the tasty things herself. The original held affectionate tenderness towards his grandma.

"Thank you, Grandma, you should eat too, you don’t have to just look after me," Ye Qiu said warmly.

"Alright, alright, I’ll eat," Grandma laughed, seeing him eat heartily like before, she was relieved.

Opposite, Ye Yanting pursed his lips before being comforted with a bowl of fish porridge from his mother. He didn’t know if his discomfort was out of jealousy, but every time he saw Grandma being so kind to his elder brother, he felt uneasy. But it didn’t matter, Grandma didn’t get along with him anyway; she thought he was spoiled by indulgence, and he disliked her lifestyle habits. At least his parents cared for him.

"Sweetie, you and Wanqin have been engaged for so long, have you decided when to marry?" The Old Lady asked anxiously, as in her view, the eldest grandson was no longer young, and she was getting older, naturally hoping for a great-grandchild soon.

Ye Qiu acutely noticed Ye Yanting’s porridge-eating paused, his mouth pressed in displeasure.

Ye Qiu found it amusing. Why couldn’t these two express their mutual feelings? Could family really stop them? Anyway, a family alliance was expected; which brother wasn’t the same?

As for anything to feel guilty towards his elder brother, was sneaking around secretly any better? Why not just be open?

Seeing Ye Yanting increasingly looking displeased, Ye Qiu chuckled and told Grandma, "Grandma, how long have Wanqin and I been engaged? Just three months. There’s no rush to marry; we want to wait a year or two more."

"That long?" The Old Lady said disappointedly, "You’re perfectly matched and have a solid emotional foundation. What’s with the delay?"

"That’s how things are now, Grandma. People don’t marry right after getting engaged. We’ll be sure to give you a great-grandchild one day."

"You should hurry, so I won’t be too old to hold them."

"I won’t, Grandma, eat more vegetables, take good care of your health, and make sure to go out for walks and dance with those old ladies, keeping fit."

"You’re quite the sweet-talker." Grandma laughed, giving him a playful glare, clearly pleased as she ate more of the normally disliked vegetables.

Ye Yanting, upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, sighed in relief. But thinking that even if they didn’t marry now, Gu Wanqin would one day wed his brother, left him disgruntled. He couldn’t stop wondering what stage his elder brother and Gu Wanqin were at; have they hugged? Kissed? Or even been to bed? The more he thought, the less happy he became, gulping down his porridge before slamming the door as he left.

"This child is getting ruder," the Old Lady muttered, while Ye Qiu’s mother, Ren Zhen, listened and sighed without rebuffing.
