Chapter 246: Seeing Through Without Speaking Out

~8 min read 1,411 words

Lin Sui has only met one person with such a terrible personality so far.

That is Fuxi.

The guy who likes to pull pranks when he has nothing to do, using his own younger brother's photos to flirt with female Live Streamers, and using the excuse that he smells like milk because he has a child to dump people.

The guy who likes to give A Fu terrible advice whenever he has nothing to do.

The key is that one dares to give it, and the other dares to learn it.

Lin Sui held A Fu down and asked in confusion, "What good does it do you to learn those things from him just now?"

You didn't flirt with any girls, nor did you get any recognition.

A Fu rubbed his ears, clutching a Bluetooth earphone in his palm.

He had just covered it with the stray hair by his ears, so Lin Sui hadn't noticed it the whole time.

If he hadn't been so out of character today, to the point where he was practically overflowing with Fuxi's vibe, Lin Sui might not have discovered it.

Caught red-handed, A Fu lowered his head, picking at his fingers like someone who had truly done something wrong, and said very guiltily, "He said my personality is too dull and I need to change it to attract... people's attention."

He didn't know if it did him any good, but he had followed along and learned it anyway.

"I won't speak for others in the Company, but if you went and hovered in front of Shen Ti looking like that just now, you'd have three handfuls of hair ripped off by him, you know? Three handfuls!" Lin Sui made a gesture of three.

A Fu subconsciously touched the top of his head, already hallucinating that his scalp was faintly aching.

What kind of man likes to rip out hair when fighting? Isn't that a bit too vicious!

Lin Sui sighed deeply again, "A personality can be niche, but it can't be bizarre. You can't learn from your brother; learning from him only attracts people who want to beat you up."

"... Then what about you?" A Fu looked up and asked, "Did it attract you?"

Lin Sui was vigilant in a second, "Are there more earphones?"

"No more."

A Fu used both hands to pull his ears up.

Proving that this was something he wanted to ask himself, and something he wanted to say himself.

Lin Sui narrowed her eyes, "I'm only saying this because you're close to me; if you weren't..."

She performed two boxing moves in front of A Fu, the level of second-hand embarrassment comparable to a boy suddenly air-balling while walking down the street.

But the person involved didn't realize how awkward this looked to others.

Lin Sui said while throwing punches, "My coach is a Boxing Champion; beating you up is like child's play, and it wouldn't just be as simple as three handfuls of hair!"

She admitted that it did attract her.

But it was definitely not any kind of positive feedback.

A Fu: "..."

So she still wants to beat him up, right?

Seeing his expression look a bit speechless, Lin Sui stopped and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, "So what exactly did you want to do by coming to find me?"

A Fu: "..."

Everything he wanted to say had actually been said just now.

Just in an unreasonable way.

Now he really didn't have anything left to say.

He shook his head, "I... can I go now?"

"I suppose you can..." Lin Sui asked tentatively, "Do you really not want to take leave and go home to rest for a bit?"

A Fu asked back, "... Do you really think I should rest for a bit?"

Lin Sui nodded, "Mhm."

"Then I'll take leave..." A Fu hesitated, "You won't find someone to take my place, will you?"

Lin Sui grinned at him with a fake smile, her expression sincere, "Except for you, no second person is willing to pay to work."

She couldn't even find anyone if she wanted to find a replacement.

She was even a little afraid that A Fu wouldn't come back after taking leave.

A Fu: "..."

The words were crude but the logic was sound.

So he hadn't done anything wrong.

Paying to work still had its benefits; at least his job position wouldn't be easily replaced by just anyone.

He felt much more at ease.

"Then I'm leaving."

Lin Sui waved at him and watched him leave.

Just as he disappeared from Lin Sui's sight, the system's voice rang out in her mind.

【You're confused! He wanted to give you money, why didn't you take it?】

Lin Sui put away her expression, "You're the confused one! If he gives me money privately, don't I have to pay it back? That's not two hundred, that's two hundred million!"

【He didn't say he was giving it all to you, and besides, you didn't take it in the Live Streaming Room either!】

"Didn't I just start a Live Streaming session?" Lin Sui said, "He's cleared his head now."

Two "Hua Zi" gifts, and that was the end of it.

System: 【Tsk, still too calm.】

If it were any other big spender, those two small targets wouldn't even last two days.

Lin Sui was silent for a while, then slowly spoke, "If this money really came down, the relationship between us would be impossible to explain clearly."

She had always maintained a relationship with these people as a Live Streamer and a big spender, or a boss and an employee, or at most, normal friends.

There is no way to go any further.

If A Fu could really tip that much, it would far exceed these feelings.

She has no way to continue viewing A Fu through those past relationships with peace of mind.

"What? Is he into you?" the System blurted out.

Lin Sui twitched the corner of her mouth, "See through it but don't say it, and we can still be friends."

System: "..."

"Men will only affect the speed at which you make money! You must not do anything stupid!"

The System, as if infected by a virus, kept reminding her in Lin Sui's mind: "This stage is not the time to think about these things; our business empire hasn't been completely finished yet, don't get obsessed with male beauty! At the very least, you have to wait until after I leave, do you hear me?"

Lin Sui caught the key point in its words, "You will leave?"

"Of course, no one will accompany anyone forever; you need to get used to it early." The System said earnestly, "Sui, you will eventually have to learn to face these things alone..."

Lin Sui: "..."

"Should I cry for you now, since I didn't get to cry at Gu Xing's grave just now?"

System: "That won't be necessary; I am a System, and I won't die."

Lin Sui: "I'll pull your power plug."

System: "..."

"How vicious! Truly vicious! I thought you would be reluctant to part with me."

Lin Sui took off the red headscarf cap she was wearing and walked toward the changing room, "I actually wanted to ask when you can leave?"

"How heartless, thinking about rushing me away already? But it should be soon."

Lin Sui: "Before you leave, can you add the last few points of beauty for me? I want to be a one-hundred-percent perfect woman."

"There are no perfect people in the world, so the remaining points cannot be added; your beauty has already achieved the feat of surpassing 99.98% of humans."

Lin Sui: "? And who are the 0.02%?"

System: "..."

She wasn't even curious about the fact that she had achieved a feat?

Sure enough, what women care about most is always their own faces.

"They are people who exist in the world and possess different aesthetic standards."

Just as it said, there is no one in the world who is one-hundred-percent perfect.

Because there will always be people who hold different opinions.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, there will always be people who think she is average.

Otherwise, how could there be so many comments like "Am I the only one who doesn't get it?", "I didn't like her before, I just didn't dare say it.", and "Every time I say I don't think she's good-looking, someone will scold me."
