Chapter 511: The Platinum Age Fashion Show

Jian sighed. “Who brought the situation to that stage in the first place? I am pretty sure that you must have asked some foolish questions.”

Jing slumped.

Jun said in disdain, “Uncle Yukito would be thinking that why are you asking such stupid questions? He didn’t answer because he was amazed at your stupidity.”

Jing was now almost merged with the floor.

Nian asked, “Why did you get so upset in the first place? We saw Uncle’s interview too and didn’t find anything wrong with it.”

Jing looked at them aghast. “What do you mean? Didn’t you see that Huang Minzhe introducing his girlfriend, Wang Ling?”

“Yeah, so?”

Jing fiddled with the pillow and said, “She-she was his ex-girlfriend…” he murmured.

Jian held his ear. “What? We didn’t hear you.”

Jing felt annoyed. “She was his ex-girlfriend!”

And the three brothers looked at him as if he was an idiot.

“We know now what you must have asked him…And we have only one word for you – Idiot.”

Jun frowned. “How dare you hurt our favorite Uncle?”

Jing’s mouth twitched. “Am I not your favorite Uncle?”

“Not more than Uncle Yukito and Yukira.”

A critical hit.

“You are all so heartless.”

Nian said in disdain, “You weren’t particularly less to Uncle Yukito either.”

KO!

Jing was defeated by the three little Liu devils. He slumped back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Jian, Nian, and Jun shared glances and sighed. No matter what, Jing was their Uncle, and they loved him nevertheless though he was an idiot at times with his feelings.

They hopped on the bed and snuggled beside him.

Jing pouted. “What? Ganging up on me now physically?”

They rolled their eyes. They pinched all over his face and tickled him.

“Ahahaha…Stop it…Haha…”

He quickly overpowered them and began playing tag with them on the bed. But the three brothers swiftly cornered and surrounded him.

Three against one. Jing was bound to lose anyway.

Jian patted his head. “Don’t lose heart. Uncle Yukito didn’t say that he broke up with you, right?”

“…En.”

“So, don’t worry. Take this time and figure things out.”

Nian giggled. “Trust us. He loves you more than you can imagine.”

Jing lowered his gaze. “But…he doesn’t seem to get any time for me nowadays. I feel left out. Sometimes it feels that he has chosen modeling over me…”

Jun said, “And I am sure that he isn’t doing that purposely. There is no way that Uncle would choose his career over you.”

Jian and Nian nodded.

Jing looked at the trio and chuckled helplessly. “You three…when did you learn to give love advice? You are hardly in school and even don’t have any crushes.”

Jian shrugged. “Who needs a crush when we have Mama and Dada at home?”

“It always feels like we can learn so much from them just by simply watching them,” Nian felt proud.

Jun touched his chin and seriously said, “They should write a book together. 101 ways to solve all relationship problems or How to make your relationship work.”

Jing burst into laughter. “Ahahaha! You guys are so funny.”

He ruffled their heads.

Jun glared at him. “Hey! You are messing up my hair.”

“Thanks so much, you guys…You are the best.”

At first, they only shot arrows at him with their words, but in the end, they did console him.

Jian snorted. “Of course we are.”

Nian said, “It would be such a pain to see you depressed like a Romeo every day. You look better with that idiotic and goofy grin on your face.”

Jing was conflicted about whether to feel good or bad about that statement.

The next day, Yukito was listlessly lying on the bed for a long time.

Thankfully, there was not much work today, so Yang Tian said that he could take the day off, which came at the right time considering what happened last night. He needed a break.

“Yukito!!”

Yukira barged into his room and jumped on the bed. “Hey, sleepyhead! Nee-chan was asking about you. You didn’t come to breakfast.”

Yukito was still wrapped in his duvet. “Nothing…Just feeling lazy.”

Yukira quickly caught on to his tone. But he understood what might have happened.

Yesterday he was swamped in his shoot for his upcoming movie, and just this morning, he came to know about his interview. Even he was taken aback suddenly seeing Wang Ling during the interview.

And now Yukito’s eyes looked a little puffy too.

“Did you fight with Jing?”

He stiffened. Silence.

“Over Wang Ling?”

No answer. Yukito knew it was no use hiding from Yukira. As twins, they did understand each other’s change in sentiments quite fairly.

Yukira sighed. He didn’t know what went wrong between them, and he also understood that his brother didn’t want to talk about it. At least not now. So, he left it at that and didn’t force him.

He quickly changed the topic. “Oh, yes, I forgot! I also came here to say that there is big news!”

“What?” Yukito still spoke from under the covers.

“Come out from the duvet, you stupid!” Yukira forcefully pulled it off. “It’s regarding your modeling.”

Yukito seemed annoyed. “What is it?”

“It’s finally happening!” Yukira’s eyes sparkled in excitement. “The Platinum Age Fashion Show! The most prestigious show in the modeling industry that happens once in five years! The dates are finally here! Weren’t you waiting for this event for so long?”

Yukito widened his eyes and got up. “What?! But Yang Tian didn’t call me yet.”

“Oof! It hasn’t officially come out. My co-actor, the female lead of my movie, has her boyfriend working in modeling, and he is one of the management people for this show! She got to know from him, and well, we have a good rapport. So she told me to give you a heads up about it,” he chuckled, “she is your huge fan. Though all the details are supposed to be tight-lipped, she still told me, and she believes us that we won’t leak it.”

“So! So! Yukito! Your chance has finally come!”

Yukito’s heart raced faster.

This was the day that he always waited and worked hard for till now.

Platinum Age Fashion Show.

This was the milestone he had set on to achieve it. His only goal was to enter this show and win it.

Yukito clutched the duvet in his fists. His

gaze dimmed.

But with what happened last night, is there even any point in entering this competition now…?
