When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time

The car parked in front of the Gu mansion, waiting until another gray car appeared.

 

However, the gray car was stopped.

 

There was no guard at the entrance of the Gu mansion, and it looked ordinary. The registered vehicles were automatically allowed to pass, but the unfamiliar car found the gate closed.

 

Yin Moshu’s foster father, Yin Shunchang, and foster mother, Yuan Manli, got out of the car first, followed by father and son Yin Shunli and Yin Chengzhi.

 

Yin Shunchang said, “Say, our car is not allowed to pass, let’s go.”

 

Yin Chengzhi responded, “This is a bit…”

 

“Let’s just go, it’s the Gu family after all,” Yin Shunli pulled his son and said, “We’ll treat it as a visit.”

 

The steward rushed over and offered them a solution, “Sorry, foreign cars are a bit troublesome. Could you please follow me for a short distance?”

 

“No problem at all, we were actually looking forward to exploring,” Yin Shunli smiled warmly.

 

The steward nodded with a smile and glanced at the group.

 

Yin Chengzhi forced a smile, Yin Shunchang did the same, but Yuan Manli’s expression didn’t look too good.

 

Yin Moshu invited them to participate in a program, and now they were being turned away. What kind of attitude was this?

 

Two days ago, Yin Moshu, who rarely contacted them, said that he was filming a romance variety show with a theme related to family and wanted them to participate.

 

Of course, they knew.

 

They were aware that during the last recording, Yin Moshu thoroughly offended Ji Nan, and they knew Ji Nan wanted to blacklist him.

 

They also knew Ji Nan wanted him to break up with Gu Jinmian.

 

It aligned with what they thought.

 

Upon hearing about the recording with the Gu, they were very willing. Yin Shunli wanted to build connections with Gu Xijun and Gu Lifan. Yin Chengzhi wanted to cause trouble, Yuan Manli wanted to watch a good show, and Yin Shunchang, it wasn’t sure what he was up to.

 

No matter how they felt, they had to get out of the car and walk.

 

Yin Shunli was the most enthusiastic, walking beside the steward and asking, “Is Young Master Gu here?”

 

The steward replied, “Not only Young Master Gu, but the eldest young master is also here.”

 

“The eldest young master is here too!” Yin Shunli exclaimed in surprise. “He’s so busy, and yet he’s here.”

 

The steward smiled, “For esteemed guests like you, the eldest young master naturally would return.”

 

This statement made everyone feel at ease.

 

Gu Xijun was not someone one could just meet, even for Old Master Yin. The fact that he was specially receiving them showed enough sincerity to make them overlook the initial inconvenience.

 

Yin Shunli was excited and rubbed his hands together.

 

The steward observed their expressions and smiled without saying a word.

 

On the other side, Gu Jinmian stepped out of the car with the photographers. “The smallest villa ahead is mine.”

 

[Goodness, I thought living in separate villas was already luxurious, but you guys have one each?]

 

[Aren’t you afraid of living in a villa all by yourself?]

 

[I really want to experience that kind of fear too.]

 

“It’s a bit lonely.”

 

After the barrage of comments that didn’t scold Yin Moshu, Gu Jinmian returned to his usual self and was willing to chat. “So, during the day, there’s a gathering of a small group of cuties here.”

 

In a garden adorned with a riot of flowers, Gu Jinmian placed his hand on the doorknob and jokingly said, “You don’t think I’m secretly raising someone behind Yin Moshu’s back, having a whole household, do you?”

 

[Hahaha, you dare?]

 

[Expose the affair! @Yin Moshu]

 

[I heard online that Gu Jinmian is a pervert who loves to mistreat young celebrities. When meeting the young master, they will lie down flat and say: Quickly!]

 

[Not that extreme, not that extreme.]

 

Gu Jinmian chuckled.

 

Recently, not only have there been unfriendly comments about Yin Moshu online, but also about him, all of which are old and outdated materials from the circle.

 

Gu Jinmian generously mentioned it in a playful way and didn’t mind what others said.

 

Teasingly, Gu Jinmian opened the door, and the barrage exploded in an instant.

 

[Ah, heaven!]

 

[I’m dying, someone get me an oxygen mask!]

 

[Sobs, I never used to envy the rich, but this is the first time. Is this the happiness of the wealthy?]

 

Gu Jinmian’s villa was small, but considering it was just him, it should feel spacious. However, it didn’t look that way at all; it even seemed quite crowded.

 

On the first floor, including the living room and stairs, it was all filled with clean, fluffy, and beautiful cats.

 

Especially on a three-seater sofa, there was a group of over ten blue-eyed ragdoll kittens, snuggling together.

 

Five or six arrogant Persian cats lounged on the stairs.

 

A few fluffy cats were playfully wrestling on the floor, and not far away, a bunch of British Shorthairs huddled together, dozing off.

 

Cats were everywhere—common ones and breeds unrecognizable to those unfamiliar with feline varieties.

 

For cat lovers, it was nothing short of paradise.

 

Even those not particularly fond of cats would have their hearts melt at the sight of this room filled with beautiful, furry creatures.

 

Gu Jinmian squinted and said, “It’s not mine, it’s my big brother’s.”

 

“My big brother is a bit superstitious, with many strange beliefs. He thinks that living alone in a large room lacks vitality, or what he calls ‘qi.’ He believes it’s not good for a person. So, when I’m not around, he has the servants place some cats in my room to cultivate positive energy.”

 

[Is that the big shot I saw on TV?]

 

[Former political and business figures are more inclined to believe in such things.]

 

[[That’s the idea. In residential Feng Shui, having a large house with fewer people is considered ominous.]

 

[Oh my, I’m learning something new again.]

 

[Am I the only one who finds Gu Xijun raising so many cats adorable?]

 

Since that was the case, Gu Jinmian decided to give the audience a dose of cat therapy.

 

The cats, well taken care of by professionals, were well-behaved. After Gu Jinmian sat down, they didn’t run away. Instead, some even climbed onto him.

 

Gu Jinmian was dressed in a fluffy and soft warm white mohair sweater today. His fine black hair gently scattered around his ears, and his cat-like lips were slightly curled. Even the faint dull face turned into a charming softness.

 

There was no sense of discord being surrounded by a group of fluffy cats, making the scene even more heartwarming.

 

The audience’s hearts were melting, and some even wanted to scream in delight.

 

[Why just staring? Quick, take screenshots!]

 

[Little Teddy ,don’t enter the Cat Republic.]

 

[Discussing the harm caused by harmonious coexistence of cats and dogs.]

 

[Draw your sword, Yin Moshu, I’m here to steal your wife.]

 

The first stop at the door had a great response, and Gu Jinmian breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Streaming alone, Gu Jinmian appeared calm, but in reality, he was worried about sustaining it, even for just over ten minutes.

 

Wanting to please the audience, when it was time to leave, Gu Jinmian decided to take a cat with him. Most viewers suggested he take one of the more affectionate ragdolls, but he deliberately chose the British Shorthair that looked at him with disdain.

 

Following the pre-planned schedule, he continued to stroll outside.

 

He couldn’t help but livestream for three hours, he couldn’t spend two hours facing his big brother’s cold face and getting scolded. He had to hold on for a while.

 

Fortunately, the viewers found it amusing.

 

[Look at that bald rose on the second floor of the villa. Did the young master trim it?]

 

[Hahaha, they haven’t replaced it yet. Poor rating for the gardener!]

 

[Gardener: I just wanted you to see it and give me some feedback.]

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

He stuffed his phone into the cat’s lap, pretending not to have seen the comments, and continued walking with a paralyzed face.

 

Since he wasn’t looking at the barrage, he had no idea what he was about to face ahead.

 

When Gu Jinmian, covered in cat fur and holding a British Shorthair that looked at him with disdain, collided with the four Yin family members, the situation became momentarily awkward.

 

[Oh wow, isn’t that the Yin family? They actually…]

 

[Really (feel hairy) and irritable to meet the in-laws, hahaha.]

 

[The young master looks bewildered (threatened).]

 

[Young master, straighten up! Even if you meet the in-laws looking a bit messy, you’re still a high-class young master. Show them the same disdain as the cat in your arms!]

 

[Hahaha, dying of laughter.]

 

Gu Jinmian was surprised, “What are you doing here?”

 

Yin Chengzhi replied, “Yin Moshu invited us.”

 

Yuan Manli chuckled, “Didn’t he tell you?”

 

Gu Jinmian felt a bit awkward at this revelation.

 

Yin Shunli quickly added, “He probably wanted to surprise you.”

 

Gu Jinmian said directly, “Surprise is an understatement.”

 

“…..”

 

[Still, the aura of a high-class young master is impressive.]

 

[Yin family: Shall we leave?]

 

[To be honest, Yin Moshu himself didn’t, it was quite awkward for the Yin family.]

 

Yin Chengzhi also chimed in, “Yeah, what kind of surprise are we? Only Yin Moshu is considered a real surprise.”

 

Gu Jinmian glanced at the director of the crew, who shook his head, indicating he had no idea what was going on either.

 

They said Yin Moshu had invited them, but he was probably just worried that Gu Jinmian couldn’t handle the live broadcast segment alone.

 

However, these obnoxious individuals, unless it was to watch them make a fool of themselves and feel embarrassed, Gu Jinmian had no desire to see them.

 

Especially considering the possibility that his relationship with Yin Moshu was likely to be exploited by the Yin family to damage Yin Moshu’s career.

 

They probably had no good intentions here.

 

Considering Yin Moshu wouldn’t let them off easily, was there any reason for Gu Jinmian to fear them on his own turf?

 

Gu Jinmian decided to take the initiative.

 

“Oh dear, I’m sorry, I didn’t welcome you all.” Gu Jinmian flashed a smile that could rival a fake one, and playfully tapped the back of the British Shorthair in his arms. “Blame it on this one being too clingy. You won’t blame me, will you?”

 

“…….”

 

“Hey, why aren’t you laughing? Did I do something wrong?” Gu Jinmian took a step back. “Ah, cousin wouldn’t hit me like he did with Yin Moshu when he was a child, would he?”

 

[British Shorthair: I’m clingy? Get lost, don’t mess with me!]

 

[Although I see the young master acting, what’s the situation with hitting Yin Moshu?]

 

[Don’t you know? Yin Moshu was adopted by the Yin family. It must have been tough in such a big family.]

 

[Darn, who is this person? How about his Weibo?]

 

Yin Chengzhi panicked, “What are you talking about?”

 

The movie had been out for two weeks, and Yin Moshu was currently the hottest star. During the initial craziness when people first became fans of a star, Yin Moshu’s over 40 million fans were so enthusiastic that they might even beat top-tier celebrities.

 

Gu Jinmian just smiled at him, seeing through his lie.

 

Yin Chengzhi felt a tingling sensation on his scalp from that smile. It reminded him of Yin Moshu’s smile. How did he become so similar to him, even before getting married?

 

It’s better to just hit him directly.

 

Fortunately, Gu Jinmian didn’t continue to guide the fans. He chuckled and patted the British Shorthair, saying, “Let’s go, let’s meet Mom.”

 

Walking beside Yin Chengzhi, after the livestream camera shifted, Gu Jinmian closed the microphone and whispered to Yin Chengzhi, “Do you realize now? Yin Moshu is not someone you can bully anymore. Do you think I’m the only one who likes him?”

 

“He has over 40 million fans, and it will only increase. What about you?”

 

Yin Chengzhi was left speechless.

 

Gu Jinmian continued to taunt him, “And you even bought water armies to smear him. Do you think I would leave him? Haven’t you checked his Weibo? How many people are competing with me for him? Only an idiot would leave him for someone like Pu Xinfu.” (TL: A person that although very ordinary, is very confident, thinks highly of himself, and is even a little arrogant. Often used as a derogatory term)

 

Watching Yin Chengzhi’s frustrated face, Gu Jinmian felt a sense of satisfaction.

 

Even when he realized that the livestream camera was right in front of him, he wasn’t unhappy or concerned about the speculations in the barrage.

 

His joy and satisfaction continued until he arrived at the villa designated for entertaining guests, and then it abruptly stopped.

 

The entire large villa was meant for entertaining guests, with the living room downstairs and guest rooms upstairs.

 

Normally, guests gathered in the living room, but this time, perhaps considering the photographers, the gardener who hadn’t replaced the pruned roses on the second floor, adorned the courtyard exceptionally beautifully.

 

Between the flowers, plants, and flowing water, sitting on vine chairs at a table were Shi Yi, his two brothers, and Yin Moshu, who was smiling at him.

 

There were also He Zhi and Bai Qirui.

 

Gu Jinmian lowered his head to look at the cream-colored pants, where both white and black cat fur were quite noticeable. Then he glanced at the cat in his arms, which was squinting at him with a disdainful look.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

[All the beauties in this courtyard are blinding me.]

 

[What’s going on? Did the proud little teddy bear suddenly lose its spirit?]

 

[This strangely feels like meeting the in-laws.]

 

[Did you notice? After seeing Yin Moshu, he immediately checked his own appearance and then got shy. It’s really sweet!]

 

[Ahh, the little sweet bean’s ears are all red.]

 

[I recognize Shi Yi, Gu Xichen, and Gu Lifan, but who are the other two?]

 

[Didn’t you guys notice that those two look a lot like Yin Moshu?]

 

[…Wait, my blood is starting to boil for some reason.]

 

Seeing the scene in the courtyard, Yin Chengzhi had an inexplicable bad feeling.

 

Everyone was looking at Yin Moshu.

 

It wasn’t a very formal occasion, and Yin Moshu was dressed casually, wearing a sweater just like Gu Jinmian. He didn’t opt for an all-black outfit. Sitting with his legs crossed on a wicker chair, he had a light smile that was enough to captivate anyone’s attention.

 

They say red is attractive, and even in the most casual clothes, with a relaxed posture, Yin Moshu’s calm and powerful aura couldn’t be concealed. He appeared completely different from their memories.

 

Upon seeing them, Yin Moshu got up and walked to Gu Jinmian’s side, taking the cat from his arms.

 

As Yin Moshu carried the cat away, the phone slipped from Gu Jinmian’s hand. When Yin Moshu bent down to pick it up, he happened to see the densely packed “shy” comments in the livestream.

 

Yin Moshu paused for a moment, picking up the phone from the pocket of Gu Jinmian’s pants. His gaze softened as he looked at Gu Jinmian’s face and said, “Shy?”

 

“Huh?” Gu Jinmian quickly denied, “I’m not shy about anything!”

 

Yin Moshu didn’t say anything, just looked at him for a while and then said, “We haven’t seen each other in five days.”

 

Gu Jinmian was momentarily puzzled, not understanding the significance of Yin Moshu’s words, but he couldn’t stop his heart from skipping a beat.

 

[Ahhhh!]

 

[Don’t ahhhh! People on the forum are saying that guy is Bai Qirui.]

 

[What the heck!]

 

[What the heck, what the heck, what the heck!]

 

[Don’t what the heck, who is Bai Qirui?]

 

[It’s complicated to explain. In simpler terms, perhaps you know MG Bank?]

 

[Maybe you know the ‘Minglichang’ magazine’s selection of ‘Top 100 Influential Figures in the Information Age’? He’s in the top 10.]

 

[……]

 

[……]

 

“Why are you guys standing there?” Shi Yi waved at them. “Hurry up and sit.”

 

Gu Jinmian scratched his ear and sat down with Yin Moshu.

 

Yin Chengzhi too.

 

Yin Shunchang was the most knowledgeable among them, but he was currently the most nervous.

 

He recognized Bai Qirui.

 

Bai Qirui usually stayed abroad, and not many ordinary people in the country knew him. However, if people knew he was in the country, those in the top floors of office buildings in the central business districts of major cities would line up to invite him for a meal.

 

His nervousness wasn’t just because of Bai Qirui’s identity, but also a deeper and more ominous premonition.

 

Yin Shunli warmly sat next to Yin Moshu and asked, “May I ask, who are these two?”

 

Gu Xijun personally introduced them, “This is Mr. Bai Qirui, and this is his wife, He Zhi.”

 

Yin Shunli was momentarily stunned. He had just sat down but immediately stood up, standing straight and stiff, “Hello!”

 

Yin Chengzhi and Yuan Manli were also stunned.

 

Although they didn’t recognize who it was at first, being people accustomed to the life of luxury, they wouldn’t hear a name and not know who it belonged to.

 

It turned out that when Gu Xijun mentioned hosting distinguished guests, those guests were not them but Bai Qirui and his wife.

 

The director filming behind Gu Xijun and Yin Moshu was also stunned, unsure if they could continue filming.

 

At this moment, the hashtag #BaiQiruiAppearsInGuJinmian’sLiveStream# and more flooded into the live stream, surpassing #SeasonPeopleDislikeHangYuanting#.

 

“Hello.” Bai Qirui shook hands with Yin Shunli, his expression calm and elegant, just like the first Gu Jinmina met him, “Bai Qirui.”

 

Yin Shunli nervously clasped his hand with both hands, “I’m Yin Shunli, I’m…”

 

Glancing around quickly, he relied on today’s protagonist to introduce himself. “It’s Yin Moshu’s second uncle..”

 

He then pulled Yin Chengzhi along and introduced him, “This is my son, Yin Chengzhi, Yin Moshu’s cousin. Yin Chengzhi studied finance in college.”

 

Bai Qirui nodded at him with a smile and turned his attention to the other two.

 

Yin Shunchang steadied his mind, bending slightly to extend his hand, “Hello, I’m Yin Shunchang, Yin Moshu’s father.”

 

Bai Qirui smiled as he shook his hand, “Hello, adoptive father, right?”

 

Yin Shunchang became even more nervous. He licked his dry lips and continued with the introductions, “This is my wife, Yuan Manli.”

 

Bai Qirui nodded at her as well.

 

Throughout the introductions, He Qizhi remained seated, not saying a word. She simply sipped her tea and occasionally smiled at Shi Yi.

 

Gu Xijun said, “Please have a seat, everyone. Today is a for Mian Mian and Moshu’s program. Let’s keep it relaxed.”

 

The crew members were moved to the point of tears.

 

Thank you, boss, for guiding us and letting us know that we can continue shooting and broadcasting as usual.

 

During regular live broadcasts, each guest would usually be handled by the follow-up director. However, on Gu’s side, they weren’t responsible. They specifically hired the chief director Cheng Chong for this. Cheng Chong was wondering if he could handle this, and he was planning to seek approval, but he didn’t expect Gu Xijun to be so considerate.

 

In the lively atmosphere of the main broadcast room, viewers were excitedly commenting, and the barrage was filled with messages.

 

[Shi Yi looks so young and fashionable!]

 

[Gu Xijun, I approve!]

 

[Strange, courtyard, husbands and wives, what’s going on?]

 

Gu Jinmian still hadn’t fully grasped the situation. He sat quietly next to Yin Moshu, casually scratching the back of Yin Moshu’s hand, only to have Yin Moshu grab his hand in return the next moment.

 

Gu Jinmian’s back instantly straightened, and he discreetly swallowed saliva.

 

Gu Xijun, seeing him like this, turned his head, sighed, and supported his head with a smile, “Mian Mian may look a bit silly, but he’s quite clever. He can count from 1 to 100 even before attending kindergarten.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Can this be considered a compliment?

 

From Gu Xijun’s opening remark, they already knew the direction of this conversation.

 

Yin Shunli immediately said, “Yin Moshu has always been intelligent since childhood, never attended cram schools, and consistently ranks first in exams every year.”

 

After saying this, he kicked Yin Chengzhi and said, “Top in the entire region in the college entrance examination.”

 

He was supposed to cause mischief, so why did he start praising Yin Moshu?

 

Yin Chengzhi’s face looked like he was constipated.

 

Yin Shunchang added, “His memory is exceptionally good. I remember casually mentioning a phone number, and he can still recall it a week later.”

 

With each person speaking, He Zhi and Bai Qirui would listen attentively, and upon closer inspection, excitement and joy could be seen in their eyes.

 

Now it’s Yuan Manli’s turn to speak.

 

While others praised Yin Moshu readily, she seemed hesitant, as if unwilling to compliment him.

 

He Zhi frowned, gripping the tea cup tightly.

 

Prompted by the urging of Yin Shunchang under the table, Yuan Manli finally praised him. She said, “Well, he has been good-looking since childhood, attracting a group of kids who eagerly offered their attentions.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Shi Yi unhappily set down her tea cup, sighed, and said with a smile, “Our Mian Mian is the same. He’s been the cutest kid in kindergarten since he was little, and there’s no end to listing his virtues.”

 

He Zhi smiled, watching as Gu Jinmian nodded continuously.

 

When it came to the younger brother enthusiast Gu Lifan, he was unstoppable in his praise, going on and on until he even complimented the strands of Gu Jinmian’s hair.

 

Gu Jinmian blushed at his words, “Second brother, that’s enough.”

 

Shi Yi and He Zhi both laughed, and Yin Moshu smiled too.

 

After the rounds of compliments, Bai Qirui and He Zhi looked satisfied. They exchanged a glance, and Bai Qirui placed a document on the table.

 

“You might be wondering why we’re here on such a day.”

 

“Coincidentally, we want to announce something with this opportunity.” Bai Qirui said, “Yin Moshu is our long-lost son, this is the result of the paternity test.”

 

“…..”
