Chapter 258: Male Bodhisattva

~15 min read 2,896 words

With Lin Sui's level, most Live Streamers don't care to bother with her.

"Free-riders" are high-maintenance and are basically ignored.

Eternal Youth saw the message she sent, but he subconsciously pulled his collar up and pretended not to see it.

He hadn't expected to have a mark left on his neck, and he felt a bit guilty.

This Live Streaming beauty filter can cover up a swollen face, so why wouldn't it work for something like a hickey?

He had originally thought she was just an insignificant person.

But after seeing Eternal Youth's reaction, the fans in the Live Streaming Room also started to get curious.

"What's red? Was the Live Streamer bitten on the neck by someone?"

"Huh? Isn't he single? How could there be a hickey?"

"Just now when he was PK-ing with the male Live Streamer opposite, I think I saw some inexplicable marks on his body."

More and more people were discussing it.

Eternal Youth had no choice but to respond.

He pretended to pull at his collar casually, generously exposing the mark.

With the help of the beauty filter, there was only a slight red mark on his fair skin; it was impossible to tell how it had been made.

"Are you all talking about this?" He pointed at the suspected hickey without changing his expression.

Then he scratched it with his finger, "I scratched it myself; I got bitten by a mosquito."

"Don't let yourselves be led by the nose; that person just now was a level one burner account, their intentions are obvious."

He winked at the screen again, "When have I ever hidden anything from you all? If there were a situation, I would definitely tell you~"

These words of his successfully fooled the fans.

LV1 Shanyue Dameinv: "But I didn't say anything? I was just asking out of curiosity."

She hadn't explicitly said what was on his neck; wasn't the hickey just a guess from other fans?

Why did he look so guilty?

Besides...

LV1 Shanyue Dameinv: "It's almost the start of winter, where would there still be mosquitoes."

Eternal Youth: "Moderator, kick this hater out!"

Lin Sui: "..."

She was kicked out of the Live Streaming Room directly.

There were even fans of his already private messaging her to curse at her.

That was fast.

Since she couldn't enter his Live Streaming Room, Lin Sui went back to Yinfu and entered Ji Mo's Live Streaming Room.

The two of them were still in a joint broadcast.

Ji Mo hadn't taken that little episode just now seriously at all; he truly thought Eternal Youth had encountered a hater, and he couldn't imagine that this hater was Lin Sui.

Lin Sui felt that she couldn't really be considered a hater.

Before she took action, she had to roughly understand the other party's character and personality first so she could prescribe the right medicine.

Now that the other party was suspected of lying right off the bat, his character was really hard to say.

Lin Sui watched the Live Streaming for a while longer; when Ji Mo communicated with him, whenever a more private question was asked, Eternal Youth could always deflect it with ease.

He clearly could have chosen not to answer, yet he chose to use this method.

This not only left a good impression on the audience that he answered every question, but it also made Ji Mo seem somewhat aggressive.

How is this like a novice Live Streamer?

He is clearly an old hand!

More skilled than even Lin Sui.

Lin Sui sent a message to Meng Zeming, telling him to have Ji Mo hang up; how could this old hand on the other side be easily poached?

And even if he were poached, he would be a ticking time bomb.

When Ji Mo received the message from his boss, he couldn't wait to hang up the joint broadcast.

Damn it, if he didn't hang up, his fans would all run away!

Just as he hung up the joint broadcast with Eternal Youth, he received a private message from Yu Qingyu.

"It's not shameful to lose to young people; the stage should be left to them."

Ji Mo: "?"

Yu Qingyu: "^_^"

Ji Mo: "..."

He suddenly remembered that when Yu Qingyu lost to Lin Sui in a PK for the first time, he had said similar words to her.

So she's here to get revenge on him, is she?

He is a young person too, okay!

Lin Sui had completely lost interest in recruiting Eternal Youth.

Although she wasn't necessarily going to be able to poach him anyway.

But comparing him to herself was a bit insulting.

Aside from "tricking" fans out of money, she had never hidden anything else from them!

Even if "black material" was exposed, the fans wouldn't have any psychological burden at all.

Because she had mentioned it herself.

There aren't many Live Streamers as honest as her.

ˉ

Just as Meng Zeming had anticipated, the momentum of Eternal Youth was too fierce.

Relying on the reputation of a generous Male Bodhisattva, he became popular across the entire internet.

Many people went to watch out of curiosity and were attracted by his "always responsive" personality; in less than a month, he gained ten million followers.

He received so many offline event invitations that his hands grew soft from the work.

Halfway through, Guan Miao came to Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room to show off once, but she was kicked out by Lin Sui.

Afterward, Guan Miao became extremely arrogant.

In her eyes, Lin Sui was getting anxious.

With her popularity almost snatched away by Eternal Youth, she must be secretly jealous of her.

In reality, Lin Sui couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind.

She had been busy inspecting the factory during this period.

The factory area was completed before the new year, and next came the renovations, as well as purchasing machinery and all sorts of miscellaneous things.

The system could help her find teams and handle some related materials and contracts, but most of the time she still needed to sign the papers and supervise the work herself.

Lin Sui's Live Streaming time had even decreased a little.

Regarding the suddenly popular Eternal Youth, Lin Sui acted as if he didn't exist.

Although it was said he came to suppress her, in reality, Lin Sui's popularity did not diminish; it was even steadily rising.

It hadn't affected her in the slightest.

Guan Miao felt that Lin Sui's popularity was sliding, probably because she hadn't been streaming on time lately.

She only streamed once every two or three days.

So much so that Guan Miao thought she had suffered a mental breakdown and no longer loved Live Streaming.

In reality, the only ones who were anxious were those male Live Streamers.

A wave of "Male Bodhisattva" personas had even emerged on the internet, and major male Live Streamers were already caught in a rat race.

Recently, whenever you opened any platform, it was guaranteed to be full of handsome photos of abs.

…

"That's really too much!"

At noon that day, while eating in the Company cafeteria, Lin Sui heard the Company's female Live Streamer Miaomiaomiao complaining to another female Live Streamer.

"Why is it that these men can do 'borderline' content and nothing happens to them? When we women do 'borderline' content, we get scolded, have lewd rumors spread about us, and get reported? On what grounds!"

"They, the men, can earn money from us women, so what's wrong with us women earning some money from men?"

The more so-called "Male Bodhisattvas" there were, the more some female Live Streamers who did "borderline" content felt it was unfair.

"Of course, although I don't do 'borderline' content, I like to watch..." Miaomiaomiao said while glancing at Lin Sui.

Lin Sui coughed lightly, "I'm not stopping you from doing 'borderline' content, just don't do it while looking like a loli."

Miaomiaomiao had a rather youthful appearance, spoke in a cutesy voice, and her usual streaming style was pretending to be a little girl.

Lin Sui did not oppose the Company's Live Streamers doing "borderline" content.

Just as Miaomiaomiao said earlier, men could do "borderline" content to earn money from women, and women could also do "borderline" content to earn money from men.

The prerequisite was not to pull that "underage" stuff, otherwise she would be the first to report it!

Miaomiaomiao: "..."

She suddenly stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and raised her arms to reveal the muscles all over them.

Her voice also became much steadier.

"It's time to let everyone see a mature Diamond Barbie."

Lin Sui: "?"

This set of muscles?

Was this still the same Miaomiaomiao who, like Shen Ti, was once so thin she looked like she only had a layer of skin left, and would be so tired after running two steps that she was about to fall apart?

Hmm?

When did she grow into this!

She remembered that Miaomiaomiao had always considered being as thin as a bamboo pole to be beautiful, hadn't she?

"When did you train?" Lin Sui was truly a bit jealous now.

Her own muscles weren't even this big!

Miaomiaomiao said proudly: "I learned from Shen Ti. As the first two 'skinny chickens' of the Company, we have both grown."

She had long wanted to get rid of the title of loli Live Streamer, but she just hadn't found the opportunity. She was also afraid that Lin Sui wouldn't let her change.

After all, when she was first scouted by Lin Sui, it must have been because of her cutesy voice and her look at the time.

"Mm, growth is good, growth is good!" Lin Sui's teeth were almost ground to pieces.

When she got back, she was going to eat protein powder as her meals!

"So Boss, when is Fu coming back? I really want to transition." Miaomiaomiao asked.

She urgently needed A Fu to come back and offer his strategies.

Lin Sui was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, "My capable little assistant... he can't come back... woooo..."

She was in more pain than anyone.

Otherwise, why would she be so busy!

That detestable Fuxi, how could he just detain someone like that?

In this situation, there wasn't much she could say.

After all, A Fu had effectively been paying to work at her Company all this time; now that he had returned to his own company to make big money, it would be a bit too shameless for her to try and persuade him to come back and pay to work again.

Although she was usually quite shameless, this situation was truly different.

Miao Miao Miao still wanted to ask something else, but the female Live Streamer beside her tugged at her clothes and whispered, "Don't ask, the boss is heartbroken..."

Lin Sui corrected her, looking listless: "No, I have lost my bread and butter..."

This is much more painful than being heartbroken!

"What? You already treat Fu as family? Wow~"

Lin Sui glanced at her, "... Which of the fans in my Live Streaming Room isn't my family?"

"..."

"Do I count as your family?"

A familiar male voice suddenly appeared behind Lin Sui.

Lin Sui didn't even turn her head; she stood up, bent over, and made a gesture of invitation, "Yo, isn't this Feng Liu Ge? Please, have a seat..."

Feng Liu was not at all polite; he sat in the spot Lin Sui had just vacated and pushed her meal tray to the side.

With the air of a big brother, he said, "Now your family has some good news to tell you."

Lin Sui was as obsequious as a little eunuch beside an emperor, "You speak..."

Yang Xing, the other man who had been following behind Feng Liu, took over the conversation: "We have uncovered the true identity of this person, Xinian Yongheng!"

Lin Sui: "? Who told you to investigate?"

If she showed this much concern for him, and Miao Er found out, she would be insufferably smug again!

"Ahem..." Yang Xing coughed lightly and said, feeling inexplicably guilty: "That... I just felt his voice sounded a bit familiar..."

The story goes like this.

Originally, Lin Sui didn't pay attention to Xinian Yongheng anymore, and Yang Xing hadn't intended to care about him either.

After all, since he had inexplicably blocked him, he felt this person was a nutcase.

But Xinian Yongheng had been way too popular lately.

Even though he really hadn't come across the person himself, big data would recommend many bloggers who imitated Xinian Yongheng.

After scrolling past a few bloggers who used Xinian Yongheng's original videos for their imitations, Yang Xing felt the voice was too familiar.

It was a bit like his nemesis.

Of course, there were tons of people with such pleasant, youthful voices; one couldn't just conclude he was his nemesis based on voice alone.

After all, his face didn't look like it at all; Yong Xi was not handsome like that at all.

The problem was that this guy was exceptionally fond of showing off his abs for engagement.

Otherwise, how would he have earned the title of "Male Bodhisattva"?

The moles on Xinian Yongheng's body were in the exact same positions as the moles on Yong Xi's body.

This made Yang Xing start to suspect whether the other party had undergone plastic surgery and a total makeover.

During this time, Lin Sui had been leaving early and returning late; he couldn't find her during the day, and he had to do his own Live Streaming at night, so he hadn't been able to tell her.

He had no choice but to find Feng Liu to investigate together.

Feng Liu flipped through Lin Sui's previous Live Streaming replays and found the video of his abs that Yong Xi had privately sent her, which she had played in the Live Streaming Room.

He took it to compare with Xinian Yongheng's abs.

Not only were the positions of the moles the same, but even the patterns of the muscles were almost identical.

The Live Streaming replay was a bit blurry, so Feng Liu even went to ask a few of Lin Sui's big sisters for the high-definition original video.

Because he remembered that those big sisters had once tipped Yong Xi some money, and Yong Xi had sent them ab videos to curry favor.

Upon comparison, it wasn't just similar; it was indistinguishable!

The two of them were very thorough, and they went to track him down offline this morning.

Xinian Yongheng had been too popular lately, with one offline event after another, and today the two of them managed to corner him.

They had only just returned.

The Live Streaming Room had beauty filters, so you couldn't see the traces of plastic surgery, but offline, it was somewhat obvious.

Plus, both of them had seen Yong Xi in person; the height and weight—there were just too many coincidences.

Thus, the two of them finally confirmed that Xinian Yongheng was indeed Yong Xi!

And they returned at the first opportunity to bring this news to Lin Sui.

At this moment, the table was surrounded by Live Streamers who had gathered to listen to the gossip.

"What is Miao Er after?" Suyu asked, not understanding.

She actually sent Yong Xi to get plastic surgery.

"I think our brother Yang Xing doesn't look bad either, right?"

Back then, he was popular and handsome in her Company, but she didn't want him; she insisted on propping up an ugly one and was even happy to send him for plastic surgery.

Why is that?

Feng Liu pulled a file folder out from somewhere and took out a few photos.

"Maybe it's because Yong Xi looks a bit like her first love."

Everyone saw the photos on the table and asked, "How does he look like him?"

Feng Liu also took out photos of Yong Xi before his plastic surgery, "He looked like him before the surgery."

"No, brother, is it illegal for you to investigate these things?" Miao Miao Miao asked.

Digging up this kind of privacy, just looking at it is a bit scary.

Feng Liu blinked his eyes, "What's illegal about it? These are things you can find just by searching online."

It's just that no one is willing to investigate it.

"This doesn't look like it at all..."

Lin Sui picked up the photo of Guan Miao's first love and compared it with Yong Xi; except for the eyes, everything else was completely different.

"As long as there is a slight resemblance, she loses her composure."

Feng Liu said, "After all, her first love has already passed away; you know the value of a 'white moonlight'."

Everyone: "..."

Lin Sui immediately put down the photo and pressed her palms together, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have compared you with Yong Xi."

It's too insulting.

"I don't understand," Suyu shook her head.

"Who could understand?" the others echoed.

Now that he has had plastic surgery, he looks even less like him; will Guan Miao still dote on him?

"I feel like Guan Miao is much colder toward him now; if something else happens, she might not protect him anymore."

"Shall we... stir up some trouble?" Feng Liu asked.
