Chapter 73: Relying on Sincerity
"……You don't have to be so blunt, I felt like we were quite compatible when we chatted before," Yueshan said in a low voice.
"Then since you met him in person, why did you come back alone?" Lin Sui asked.
"I get angry just thinking about it!" Yueshan forgot to cry for a moment.
"I actually saw him!"
Lin Sui: "……"
It would be strange if she couldn't see him after getting the address from his own younger brother.
She didn't speak, quietly waiting for Yueshan to continue.
Yueshan said: "At first, he seemed to be startled by me. It took a while before he opened the door, but he didn't let me in."
"I thought it was indeed not very good of me to disturb him so suddenly, so I wanted to invite him to a meal to talk about things between us."
Lin Sui slowed down the speed of the bike, and Yueshan also seemed to be lost in memories.
She continued: "He was just as I imagined, clean and tidy, and he even smelled like milk. He is a man who looks very reliable."
The image of A Fu appeared in Lin Sui's mind. Surely there shouldn't be too much of a difference between biological brothers, right?
Maybe just a bit more cheerful than A Fu?
"Woooo..."
Lin Sui was still imagining what Fuxi looked like when Yueshan suddenly hugged her from behind, crying with snot and tears, "I only found out later that the milky scent on him was from feeding his child!"
"Woooo~ His son is already six months old!"
Lin Sui: "……?"
With an emergency brake, Lin Sui parked the Little Electric Donkey on the side of the road, "There's such a thing?"
"I didn't believe it at first either, but it's true. He even showed me a photo of his son!"
Yueshan was heartbroken, crying like a crowing rooster.
Lin Sui: "……"
Her intuition told her there was something fishy about this.
If Fuxi really had a wife and child, A Fu should have told her when she asked him for the address back then.
After all, if someone is married and you still go to disturb them, that kind of behavior is a bit immoral.
But he didn't say anything.
Then everything Fuxi did was most likely just an excuse to brush Yueshan off and make her give up.
Lin Sui didn't tell Yueshan this thought.
Rejected once online, rejected once offline.
It means the person really isn't interested in her; he's just playing around.
"Have you finally hit a wall and turned back this time?" Lin Sui said, "I'm not refunding the money on my end, though."
Yueshan grabbed the corner of her shirt and sniffed, "Tell me honestly, how exactly can one prevent oneself from falling for a Top Fan Brother?"
"I want to be like you, just earning money without talking about feelings……"
"……"
Lin Sui thought about those guys in the WeChat group chat who she got along with. Talking about feelings?
Better to talk about money.
"What you said is quite interesting. Did you talk about feelings with your Rou Ge?"
Yueshan: "……"
Lin Sui: "Or are you saying you're giving up on Fuxi here and preparing to talk to Rou Ge?"
Yueshan: "……"
"That's also your Top Fan, right? He must have tipped you quite a bit, too. It looks like he's been with you for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have chased you into my Live Streaming Room that day to ask that kind of question."
She then posed a fatal question, "Could it also be that he doesn't look good? You don't like him, but you don't want to lose his money?"
Yueshan was a bit angry, "Can you not put it so harshly!"
Lin Sui shrugged, "You're the one who keeps asking how not to fall for a Top Fan Brother. As for this current Top Fan Brother of yours, I think you don't like him at all. You know it yourself, does this still need me to teach you?"
Yueshan suddenly sneered, "Do you mean that you won't fall for your Top Fan Brothers just because they are ugly?"
Lin Sui was a bit curious, "Ugly? Do you think A Fu is ugly? You've been saving his photos all this time."
Yueshan: "……"
She could see that Lin Sui didn't take "Love Tickets," but only Love Tickets would make a "big brother" tip more.
There isn't a single "big brother" willing to spend money who doesn't have an ulterior motive!
"I don't believe they haven't sent you private messages wanting to take things offline!"
Lin Sui laughed, "Do I have to reply just because they asked?"
Yueshan: "If you don't reply, you can't keep the fans, and they won't continue to tip you."
Lin Sui: "You aren't that kind of Live Streamer, why would you want to keep that kind of fan?"
Yueshan: "……"
After a round of arguing, Yueshan was left bewildered by Lin Sui's questions.
Lin Sui continued: "Don't you have any fans who genuinely like watching you dance? That would be quite miserable indeed."
Yueshan: "……"
"I do!" Yueshan said loudly, as if to ease her own guilty conscience.
"But a lot of the time, in order to maintain the 'big brothers,' you have to write Small Compositions for them, and after you write them, you wait for them to grade your homework. It's inevitable to chat a few more times. Haven't you ever encountered one where you sparked a connection?"
She was actually a bit curious about how Lin Sui managed to keep so many "big brothers" steady.
Not flirting, yet the "big brothers" are still willing to tip.
What kind of Small Composition have you been writing all this time!
Lin Sui looked blank, "Small Composition? It's been so long since I graduated from school, do I still need to write these?"
Yueshan was even more confused, "You don't write them?"
Many Live Streamers, in order to keep their top-ranking big brothers stable, will specifically write a Small Composition similar to a thank-you note after the Live Streaming ends and send it to the big brothers, waiting for them to "grade" it.
That is the best time to foster the relationship.
The reason she was able to get talking with Fuxi back then was because of this!
"I'm not a student, why would I write this? To play Teacher-Student Play with a big brother? Wow~ you guys play so wild!" Lin Sui looked as if a door to a new world had been opened.
"……"
"Forget it, you don't understand anything at all!" Yueshan was angered by her and jumped straight out of the car.
One can only say, the threshold for being a Live Streamer these days is really low!
Lin Sui tilted her head to look at her, "Do you really want to know why I can keep them stable and still get them to spend money on me?"
Yueshan, who was just about to leave, stopped and looked at her, "Why?"
Lin Sui was full of sincerity, "By being sincere."
Yueshan: "……"
These three words were like a sharp blade stabbing into her heart.
Where was she not sincere enough?
Before she could ask more, Lin Sui suddenly reached out a hand toward her.
Yueshan was a little moved and gently placed her hand on Lin Sui's palm, "I……" understand.
Before those two words could be spoken, Lin Sui slapped her palm away and said sincerely, "The taxi fare is two hundred."
Yueshan: "……"
Lin Sui is only at her most sincere when she wants money!
Was this the sincerity she was talking about?
"You were the one who said you'd take me for a ride!" Yueshan took a deep breath.
Lin Sui was righteous and confident, "I didn't say I'd take you for free."
Yueshan clenched her fists.
Seeing her posture as if she were about to hit someone, Lin Sui shouted loudly: "You buy plane tickets for thousands without blinking, but you're unwilling to pay two hundred for a taxi? Trying to ride for free? I'm going to post on Yin Fu to expose you!"
Yueshan: "……"
In the end, she transferred two hundred yuan to Lin Sui and left in a huff, dropping a harsh threat before she went.
"Don't let me see you again!"
She was so angry she didn't even have time to feel sad.
Even after getting home, she kept thinking about Lin Sui's affairs.
ˉ
Lin Sui returned home, her mind filled with what Yueshan had said.
Having to write a Small Composition for a big brother, who on earth invented this?
Lin Sui thought for a moment, and after washing up, she edited a Small Composition in her chat box and sent it to several big brothers and sisters respectively.
【Year X, Month X, Day X, Sunny.
My mood today is average, mainly because I thought I could go out and earn some extra money from a CEO, but it turned out the CEO was sick and hard to approach. I said a few home truths, which led to me losing this job and slinking back home.
I finally know what the "keeping people at a distance" vibe often written in novels is like.
Who would dare to smell a heavy smoker with bad breath?】
When A Fu received this message, he happened to be eating.
A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "?"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Someone said that Small Compositions are good for maintaining feelings with big brothers, so I'm trying it out."
A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "That person lied to you; someone who is currently eating already wants to throw up after seeing this."
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Sorry."
A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "……I shouldn't have any smell on me, right?"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "You aren't a CEO covered in illnesses, how could you have any smell."
A Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately after, he received another message from Lin Sui, "Do you have a milky scent on you?"
A Fu: "?"
A Fu Wan Ren Ai: "I don't like drinking milk, so I shouldn't."
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Oh~"
Thinking that Fuxi is abroad and his breakfast is basically dry bread with milk, it's very normal for him to have a milky scent.
Sure enough, she was just using this excuse to fool Yueshan.
He proved once again that if a person really wants to reject someone else, there are a thousand reasons.
After finishing the chat with A Fu, the others also replied one after another.
Feng Liu, as usual, couldn't say anything nice: "What is this? Are you sick?"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "To pull our feelings closer!"
Feng Liu: "Pull feelings closer, and you send me a Small Composition about another man?"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "……Then what should I send?"
Feng Liu: "Send one about us! You make it look like you're even more of a playboy than I am."
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Is that really how it is?"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "But Feng Liu Ge, with your level, you shouldn't be on the list of people I send my Small Composition to, yet I sent it to you anyway. Do you understand what I mean?"
Feng Liu: "..."
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "I hope you'll be active during the Live Streaming tonight, my brother. /Cute"
Feng Liu: "Quick, retract it! I'll pretend I never saw your Small Composition!"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "It's been two minutes, it's too late."
…
Over at Lin Dan Da's side.
Lin Dan Da: "I am clearing my name as a domineering CEO! I drink a little alcohol, but I don't smoke, and I'm not sick. My blind date partners only complain that I'm fat, never that I stink!"
Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "I believe you!"
This Brother Dan is so chubby and white, how could anyone not like him?
Ke Ai Gui: "I don't dare to smell it, take it away, take it away! Ahhhhhhh!! /Cry/Cry/Cry"
Lin Sui immediately retracted this message.
No, seriously, with the way this group of people talks, how can they possibly chat their way into a relationship?
Hmm?
Lin Sui's face was full of question marks.
ˉ
Three days have passed since the last time she sold goods.
Lin Sui sold the goods that very night, and the system, having promised to find her the surveillance footage, delivered it to her house in the form of a package before tonight's Live Streaming.
Lin Sui took the item back to her room, plugged the U-Disk into her computer, and took a look at it herself first.
The video was fairly clear; after all, it had only been a little over two months at most.
However, the video had no sound.
But judging from the physical actions, it was Wu Hao who first started getting handsy with Lin Sui. Lin Sui refused, and the person opposite her pointed at her, cursing and swearing about something, then went even further, trying to do something to Lin Sui.
And then... Lin Sui flipped the table and started fighting him directly.
After watching the video, Lin Sui immediately contacted a lawyer, handed over this evidence, and let her handle it.
She could pay a little for hitting him, but she wouldn't pay a single cent in breach of contract fees.
It was Wu Hao who breached the contract first.
He should even pay her some emotional damages, lost wages, legal fees, and so on.
Now she just had to wait for the results.
After handling this matter, Lin Sui opened her Live Streaming on time.
She had streamed for a while in the morning, and there were more people in the evening Live Streaming than during the day. The audience was asking about what happened earlier today, as they hadn't had a chance to watch.
Lin Sui just replied indifferently, "The most urgent task for Shen Qing Ge is to go see a doctor first; he has no other problems."
Everyone: "..." Rich people sure have a lot of issues!
LV33 Xiao Xiao Xiao Ling: "When is the Live Streamer selling goods next time?"
LV35 Another Zhao XX: "This Mask is so good to use! I bought too little! Begging on my knees for another sale!"
LV14 Si Yue Tian: "Sell something men can use, I want to buy some too."
Seeing such quick feedback, Lin Sui sighed, "That will probably take a while, though there likely won't be much stock next time either."
The system hadn't told her when the next sale would be.
It probably wouldn't give her too much inventory either; after all, from selling to packing to shipping, she did everything herself, and she couldn't handle it if there were too many goods.
Lin Sui briefly explained the situation regarding this, then began today's Live Streaming PK.
The first randomly matched Live Streamer was a case of "enemies often cross paths."
It actually connected to Yueshan, who had just resumed Live Streaming today.
After the two connected, they stared at each other in the Live Streaming Room for a full five minutes.
Under the beauty filter, Yueshan's swollen, teary eyes didn't look too red or puffy, but instead had a pitiful and moving quality.
"Hi, sister."
Lin Sui greeted her first.
Yueshan revealed a smile, "Hello."
It carried a polite sense of distance.
She unobtrusively used a secondary account on her phone to enter Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room and take a look.
Seeing that there was no Level 70 big shot in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room today, she felt slightly relieved.
She took the initiative to bring it up: "You said before that you could completely replace me, so shall we play a round of talent?"
After Lin Sui finished earning a wave of money using her gossip last time, Lin Sui had explained it was just a joke.
Now Yueshan was bringing up old matters?
"Are you angry?" Lin Sui also asked with a smile.
Yueshan said calmly, "We aren't even close, what would I be angry about?"
She was angry!
She had been swindled out of another two hundred yuan by Lin Sui this afternoon!
She was angry that Lin Sui's words were too harsh!
They say loyal advice is hard to hear, but this was just too hard to hear!
She couldn't accept it!
So infuriating!
Today, she was going to let Lin Sui see that her Live Streaming Room had fans who truly loved watching her dance!
Pure dance fans! Not the messy kind of fans!
"How do you want to play?" Lin Sui could faintly sense her anger.
Yueshan said, "We won't solicit votes; we'll just play random music and dance together to see who dances better!"
Lin Sui was a little disappointed: "We aren't comparing who gets more money thrown at them?"
"We are! In this kind of competition, the one who dances better will definitely get more votes! The condition is that neither of us is allowed to speak!"
Who could withstand that act of Lin Sui sincerely asking for money?
She just had to be made to shut up and play!
