Socially anxious kid and top-tier brother became popular after appearing on variety show

"What? You're looking for a replacement?"

"Ah? Are you guys secretly married?"

Qin Zhao and He Mu looked at each other, sizing each other up seriously, as if they didn't understand what kind of person their friend was.

"No, you really are secretly married? You are not kidding, are you? You and Zuo Yue...you two are really secretly married? How many years has it been? How come I don't know anything about it?" He Mu's voice clearly showed incomprehension, even confusion and shock.

He never expected that his best friend was secretly married to Zuo Yue. Judging from their appearance, they only occasionally get along well, and sometimes ignore each other. They look like mortal enemies. He Mu told him that these two people were secretly married...

Qin Zhao nodded, "We have been secretly married for almost five years."

"That's a long time." He Mu was shocked, "So, now you are..."

"She doesn't like me." Qin Zhao smiled bitterly, "I feel like she wants to divorce me."

"Ah?" He Mu was at a loss, "I don't like you, but I still want to marry you?"

The secret marriage also got a marriage certificate. He Mu looked at Qin Zhao with a complicated expression, "Are you sure she doesn't like you?"

Qin Zhao was stunned and looked at him, "Why do you ask?"

He Mu asked instead, "When you and Zuo Yue got your marriage certificate, did you like her?"

Qin Zhao did not hesitate, "Of course, if I don't like her, why should I marry her."

Then, he seemed to realize something, his voice stuttering a little, "You mean... is it... Zuo Yue likes me too?"

"Then what do you think, given Zuo Yue's personality and temper, if she doesn't like you, why would she marry you?"

Qin Zhao opened his mouth: "..."

He was silent for a while, "We got married in secret because of some family factors."

"What do you mean?" He Mu asked him.

Qin Zhao closed his eyes slightly, with a somewhat painful look on his face, "That day, we got drunk after a cocktail party..."

"Don't tell me you guys..." He Mu hadn't finished speaking yet, but after seeing Qin Zhao's expression, he almost understood.

"The elders of our two families knew each other, and my mother happened to know about that matter. Then, the elders of both families knew about it, and they asked us to get married, so we got a marriage certificate."

When faced with other people's emotional affairs, He Mu can still analyze calmly.

"You mean, you lost control after drinking and were discovered by your elders..."

Qin Zhao nodded.

"Hot knowledge, a man can't get up when he's too drunk, you know."

Qin Zhao nodded awkwardly.

Maybe it was because the night was too gentle that day, and Zuo Yue was also too gentle. She gently stroked his face. Qin Zhao's suppressed emotions could not be restrained under the influence of alcohol, so a mistake was made.

But he couldn't explain it in such detail, so he just said, "I heard that during that period, Zuo Yue had a very good relationship with someone. After that incident, that person disappeared from her side. I..."

"So you think that Zuo Yue likes the disappeared person, and she doesn't like you. She married you because of the request of her elders." After He Mu finished his brief words in a few words, he saw Qin Zhao nodded slowly.

He Mu sighed, "But I think Zuo Yue is a very free and easy person. If she doesn't want to marry you, will your elders force her?"

"I don't know, but Zuo Yue's parents usually respect her wishes."

Otherwise, Zuo Yue wouldn't have been free since childhood.

But this matter was not an ordinary matter. It concerned Zuo Yue's innocence. He didn't know what Zuo Yue's parents had said to her.

"So, you also said that Zuo Yue's parents generally respect her wishes, and this is about a lifetime of happiness, which is not a trivial matter. Logically speaking, shouldn't Zuo Yue's parents pay more attention to it? So, what do you think of Zuo Yue's parents' attitude towards you?" He Mu changed the subject and asked patiently.

"It was fine before the incident happened. In the months after it happened, they didn't want to see me. But in the past few years, I don't know if it's because I'm too narcissistic, but I feel that they seem to accept me a little more." Qin Zhao didn't know what to say, and could only express his opinion based on Zuo Yue's parents' attitude towards him.

After thinking seriously for a while, He Mu said, "Qin Zhao, I think you should discuss this matter with Zuo Yue. Based on my understanding of Zuo Yue, I feel that she would not let herself marry you just because of this matter. Not to mention now, just talking about before, I think she may have feelings for you."

Qin Zhao looked at him immediately.

He Mu added, "This is just my thoughts. I don't know what's going on between you two. I can only express my own opinion based on my understanding of you two."

"Moreover, you have been secretly married for almost five years, and there is no news about you in the outside world. The rumors about you two are not as good as the rumors about other people around you. So, it seems that your relationship has never developed much?"

He Mu felt that no matter how well the two of them could hide it, they couldn't hide it so well. As He Mu's good friend for several years, he didn't even know that they were together.

It was not until Qin Zhao said it himself today that I realized they had been secretly married.

It is conceivable how little time they spend together in their daily lives.

"I always felt that she was forced to be with me. And that disappeared man, I always thought he was the one Zuo Yue liked."

Qin Zhao's voice was very low.

After listening to this, He Mu understood and looked at Qin Zhao in disbelief, "So, you think Zuo Yue was forced to be with you, so you just got a marriage certificate with her and left her alone?"

Qin Zhao said in a low voice, "My salary is handed in."

"What's the use? Zuo Yue is rich too." He Mu was really convinced that his own feelings didn't matter. He began to think about his friend's feelings, "You think Zuo Yue has someone else in her heart, so you don't get along with her very much. They are a secretly married couple, but their relationship is worse than strangers?"

“…Occasionally, it’s still good.”

He Mu sneered directly, "Qin Zhao, why didn't I know you were so stupid before."

Qin Zhao lowered his head and dared not speak.

I don't quite understand why I was suddenly scolded.

"Sometimes I thought you two disliked each other and were sworn enemies. Who would have thought you were so amazing that you have been secretly married to the person you love for five years and still think of yourself as the affectionate second male lead." As the president of an entertainment company, He Mu has read a lot of novels and scripts.

But in fact, Qin Zhao doesn't even dare to hope for the role of the affectionate second male lead.

He Mu was so angry that he almost laughed, "Qin Zhao, I don't know what to say to you. You have been secretly married for almost five years, and you haven't tried to work hard at all?"
