Chapter 66

"Is your industry this competitive these days?"

51. Are you going to be a mistress, or keep singing?

Hearing He He He stared at Ning Chen.

Her eyes wide, for a long moment she had no words.

Brother Shiguang's live stream.

A swarm of wolf-like comments was flying.

As Ning Chen suddenly blurted out that line.

The tide of comments directly twisted its waist.

Right after—

【Hey—Good! Very good! Well done! I truly have no words!】

【I'm done! That's it. Nothing left.】

【Streamer! Do you know what it means to see through something but not expose it?!】

【Alright then, a perfect hand! And Brother Shiguang just smashed it to pieces!】

【After saying that, if that beauty can still sleep with you tonight, I'll eat my phone!】

【I hinted at romance under the moon and rosemary, and you talk to me about current industry competition trends? I'm really...】

【Brother Shiguang, I admit you're an awesome streamer, but when it comes to women, you still have a lot to learn...】

【I just can't figure it out! Such a beautiful, good girl! What kind of beast could bear to say such a thing?】

【What a beast! I can't even watch anymore!】

【My god! Well done! Truly my god!】

【Do you think Brother Shiguang is like you all, never having seen a woman?】

【Brother Shiguang is rejecting this from another angle, right? That's fine; keeping oneself pure is nothing bad.】

【...】

On the comments, opinions split into two extremes, revealing the true colors of men and women.

Male fans all felt deep regret!

Female fans, meanwhile, were immensely relieved~

Inside the RV.

Hearing He He He stared at Ning Chen.

After a long moment, Hearing He He He smiled, "Your taste is sharp enough."

Ning Chen said nothing and restarted the RV.

Hearing He He He turned her face away, still looking out the window.

Over ten minutes passed.

It felt as if the previous topic had already drawn to a close.

Only then did Hearing He He He slowly speak.

"But what if I say I'm actually not the kind of businesswoman you think I am? Do you believe me?"

Ning Chen ignored her.

Hearing He He He didn't care and kept talking to herself.

"You definitely won't believe it. In your eyes, a girl who can so casually get into someone else's RV and suggest finding a hotel to spend the night together must not be a good girl, right?"

Ning Chen gave no response.

"But that's the truth. To be precise, I have never sold my body for money."

"You're definitely thinking, then what am I doing now."

Hearing He He He smiled and raised her hand to brush her hair.

Her hand propped against her forehead, looking out the window.

"I'll tell you the truth."

"My thinking is actually very simple: I saw you're a rich second-generation heir, I just happen to be short on money, so I wanted to get some from you."

"I've used this method many times over the past few years."

"It never fails."

Hearing He He He said.

Ning Chen also smiled, his gaze fixed ahead as he continued driving, and said:

"Tell me about it."

Seeing Ning Chen was interested, Hearing He He He got excited too. "Actually, it's very simple: as long as you deeply understand men's psychology, what they can't get will always make them itch; keep baiting them like this, and they'll be happy to spend money on me. Of course, you might be a slight exception."

Hearing He He He looked at Ning Chen and added, "Spending the whole day together today made me realize you're different from other men, so I actually did develop some feelings."

"So should I thank you? You're about to make an exception for me tonight?" Ning Chen asked.

"Doesn't matter; anyway, everything is about to end now." Hearing He He He seemed to have given up; everything she should or shouldn't say was now completely unrestrained.

"I'm curious: what kind of upbringing made you become who you are now?" Ning Chen threw out a line.

Hearing He He He fell silent.

Her lips pressed together, looking out the window.

After a while, she turned back. "You're not planning to lecture me and then play the role of a savior for a fallen woman, are you? No way, no way?"

Hearing He He He stared at Ning Chen. "If that's the case, it's too cliché."

But Ning Chen did not do as she expected.

Instead, he said nothing more.

Keep driving.

Silence fell once again.

After a good while, this Hearing He He He suddenly scratched his head.

"Damn it, I haven't washed my hair in three days."

"Can I take a shower in your RV later? I saw there's a shower inside." Hearing He He He looked at Ning Chen. "If you insist on charging, I can serve as payment myself. Besides, I must state upfront: I have no money on me."

Ning Chen did not respond.

No response was the greatest hurt.

Hearing He He He puffed up his cheeks, turned his face toward the window, and muttered curses. "What rotten luck. How did I run into a straight-laced gentleman like you today? What a complete waste of time."

The RV continued moving forward.

Ning Chen's lack of response was naturally an implicit consent.

You can go to the back to shower.

But Hearing He He He did not move.

After a while, he suddenly blurted out, "Tell me, should I become a mistress, or continue singing my songs?"

This statement caught Ning Chen off guard.

How had she suddenly jumped from her own profession to this question carrying a touch of philosophical meaning?

Hearing He He He did not wait for Ning Chen's reply, because he did not think Ning Chen would answer, and went on talking on his own.

"To be honest with you, I'm not as wretched as you think."

"If I didn't actually have a good impression of you right now, I wouldn't have offered myself as payment."

"But in fact, I've really been torn up about this lately."

"Three months ago, I was performing at a bar in a southern city when a middle-aged balding wealthy man driving a BMW took a liking to me. He said he truly liked me, that I reminded him of his first love in the nineties, but damn it, I didn't believe a word of that. However, it's no doubt that I truly liked his money."

"He had a wife and a daughter, yet he still proposed a relationship with me, saying he would pay me fifty thousand yuan every month to support me."

"I said I damn well needed some time to consider it, and he said that was fine."

"So I started running all over the country, always carrying this broken guitar of mine, to the point that people like you think I'm a prostitute, hehe~"

"After this few months of traveling on a shoestring, I've realized that money is really important."

"I could lie in the arms of a married man and collect fifty thousand yuan every month; that would be an enormous benefit."

"After all, one should indeed make use of this young body while still young, right?"

"But I just can't let go of that damn dream."

"I dropped out of university at twenty just to chase my singer's dream."

"That's why I've always been carrying this broken guitar."
