It was as if Rao Jie could imagine the expression on Wu Rong's face at that time—certainly cold and arrogant.
"By the way, let me show you a photo!" Wu Xin said, decisively exiting the video call and sending a picture to Rao Jie.
It was a photo of a little boy, whose appearance was as adorable as that of an angel. He had soft, jet-black hair and eyes like obsidian, with a gentle curve at the corners. His fair face bore a sweet and refreshing smile, exuding a beauty that could charm anyone. His hands and feet were slightly awkward and shyly tucked in, giving off an aura of "I’m very well-behaved, I listen well, I’m trying to smile, and I want to be friendly to everyone."
This was the first time Rao Jie had seen such a cute and obedient little boy. However, the moment she thought about the fact that this photo had suddenly been sent by Wu Xin, she couldn't help but shiver.
Could it be...?
Just as Rao Jie was pondering this, Wu Xin's video call came through again.
"Hahaha, what do you think? Cute, right? Every time my brother makes me furious, I send him this photo to remind him of the past and not to forget his roots."
Rao Jie opened her mouth in surprise. "Is this... really Professor Wu?"
"Of course! My real brother! Save it well; if he ever bullies you, just threaten him with it!"
Rao Jie quickly shook her head. "I wouldn’t dare threaten him. Are you sure sending him this photo won’t just make him angrier?"
Wu Xin's eyes sparkled with mischief. "That's exactly what I want—to drive him crazy! He deserves it for making me mad!"
Rao Jie wore a complicated expression on her face, completely unable to imagine that the boy in the photo was once Professor Wu.
Wu Xin smiled as she explained, "Since I can remember, my brother has looked like this gloomy person. But I've heard my parents say he was super cute when he was little and had a great personality—so adorable that people couldn't help but dote on him."
"But as he grew up a bit more, because he was so good-looking and had such a nice personality, whenever he smiled or acted friendly, people would mistakenly think he liked them. It was like he could charm anyone—both boys and girls alike. Those who were rejected by him would blame him for playing with their feelings."
"After being hurt by a few close friends like that, his personality twisted. He became fierce and unapproachable, thinking that if he acted tough, people wouldn’t misunderstand him anymore."
"In the end, he became someone who did things his own way. Aside from his math research, he really has no patience for anything else. He does whatever he wants as long as he feels like it. His temperament is terrible. Very few can let their guard down around him and truly accept him."
"Rao Jie, since you're going to be living with my brother for a while, I don’t expect you two to get along perfectly. But I hope you won’t misunderstand him because of his difficult personality. When he makes you angry, just try to be more tolerant and understanding; he's quite childish deep down—just treat him like a kid."
Rao Jie understood now; Wu Xin was genuinely worried that if they got too close, conflicts might arise between them. If that happened, it would put her in a difficult position as the mediator.
Rao Jie nodded. "Don’t worry; in my eyes, your brother is my great benefactor. In just a few days of meeting him, he has helped me countless times already. Although his personality is indeed a bit... well, I might complain about it behind his back but I won't truly resent him; I can distinguish between good and bad."
After having this heartfelt conversation with Wu Xin, Rao Jie adjusted her mindset even further. She felt mentally prepared to deal with Wu Rong's bad temper.
