Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 319 Brother, you don't need to work so hard, I don't mind.

Yang Guilan cares a lot about these things.

After all, people from our hometown would spread very exaggerated rumors.

What if someone sees her and says Yang Xi is working as a prostitute?
Back in my hometown, gossip can be deadly.

Lin Lang put his arm around Yang Xi and said, "Auntie, you're overthinking it. Of course I know about Xi Xi's situation. I took those photos."

"What?"

“Auntie, we young people like to showcase ourselves online these days, and since I work in the self-media industry, I can’t live without these things. All of Xixi’s photos are selected by me before being posted. They’re perfectly normal content online, not as serious as you think.”

"Ah? You young people... It's good that you know."

At this point, Yang Guilan had no other thoughts.

Firstly, she knew Lin Lang's character, and she also knew the Lin family well.

"Don't worry, I will definitely treat Xixi well."

Lin Lang had spoken with the doctor, and the first thing to do was to confirm that Yang Xi had posted the photos online. They couldn't continue to hide this matter, as that wouldn't be of much help to the patient. The patient needed to accept this matter little by little.

In this way, even if they encounter other stimuli in the future, they won't go to extremes because of this incident.

Yang Guilan has more than one knot in her heart, and the doctor's intention is to untie it little by little.

The doctors here can help with everyday anxieties, but when it comes to Yang Xi's issues, they can only provide assistance.

Yang Guilan asked, "Did you tell your parents? What was their attitude?"

"I was planning to tell you when I got back for the New Year. Didn't I tell you before? My relationship with a girlfriend is for work. My female classmate's family is quite wealthy, and by acting as her boyfriend, I've gotten a lot of advantages running my company back home. For example, the bank lent me a large sum of money because of my status. But now my company is gradually stabilizing. I'll talk to my parents when I get back, and maybe in two or three years, I can officially be with Xixi. She'll graduate from university by then."

Lin Lang had no idea how many times he had used this excuse.

That's what I said to Shen An'an as well.

Anyway, it works quite well. After all, when the big picture is brought up, people subconsciously become more tolerant.

The premise is that you have to make money.

If someone who makes money says they're subservient to others, people will say that there are people who want to be subservient but don't even have the chance.

If someone who doesn't make money acts like a servant to others, people will say, "That's all you've got."

Yang Guilan didn't have a clear understanding of the cost of her medical treatment, but she knew that Lin Lang had made a lot of money, tens of millions.

She knew better than anyone that men didn't earn money easily.

"Did Xixi cause you any trouble?"

"No, Xixi is very sensible. Besides, I won't feel troubled by family matters. Auntie, if there's anything you want or want to say, don't be polite with me or the doctor... Just tell the doctor everything you think. We've been hospitalized once, so let's try to get all the health problems treated so that we can live more comfortably in the future."

……

In fact, a doctor was listening to Lin Lang and Yang Guilan's conversation and took notes.

They would assess Yang Guilan's mental state based on the recorded information and their daily communication with her.

This not only requires experience, but it's also a very tiring job.

Lin Lang chatted inside for a while, then made an excuse to come out and arrange dinner so they could have dinner together that evening.

At the same time, I found a doctor and chatted with him for a while.

The overall situation is not so good. Judging from Yang Guilan's condition today, her emotions are still unstable and she still has significant psychological problems.

Lin Lang had the same feeling. She didn't seem to care on the surface, but her words revealed a hint of anxiety.

I desperately want to know what my parents think, and I desperately want to know what they think of Yang Xi.

These are not the kinds of emotions one should have in a casual conversation.

However, one good thing is that Lin Lang is able to take the initiative, and Yang Guilan believes what he says.

Judging from Yang Guilan's various reactions, her situation is within a controllable range.

All that's needed is time.

"Mr. Lin, if it's convenient for you, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with some variable data so that we can make an accurate assessment of the entire condition."

"Okay, what should I do?"

“Yang Guilan is still under a lot of psychological pressure. Mr. Lin, you can try to do something to help her completely relieve her stress. For example, I think you could call your parents and ask them to cooperate in communicating with Yang Guilan…”

Lin Lang: "...Okay, I'll find a chance to come."

This method works too; my parents would probably be willing to cooperate.

However, once you do that, the difficulty will increase significantly when the truth comes out later.

When parents are involved, the certainty of the matter increases.

Besides this, there are other ways.

Lin Lang decided to come himself and not escalate the matter.

Not long after, Lin Lang returned to the ward. Yang Xi had already helped Yang Guilan out of bed and were walking around the room.

The ward was very large, comparable to a five-star hotel suite, and had all kinds of facilities.

In addition to the bed where Yang Guilan slept, a rest room and a companion bed were also provided.

Lin Lang came over and called the two of them to have dinner together. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

The meals are all from the hospital. It's unrealistic to say they're exceptionally good, but at least they won't have any negative impact on the patient, since Yang Guilan has to take medication every day.

During the meal, as agreed beforehand, Lin Lang and Yang Xi acted very intimately, passing each other food.

For Yang Guilan, these were a kind of positive psychological suggestion, implying that the two had a good relationship.

Lin Lang originally planned to leave after the meal, since he had already done most of what needed to be done. Yang Xi and Yang Guilan could communicate slowly afterward, and it didn't concern him much.

However, Lin Lang has now changed his mind.

After dinner, while Yang Xi was in the restroom, Lin Lang found her and said, "Xi Xi, I have something to tell you. The doctor..."

Yang Xi, who was standing next to him, listened attentively and nodded frequently.

After Yang Xi came out, Lin Lang said to Yang Guilan, "Auntie, I didn't sleep well last night. Go to the rest room and get some sleep. If you need anything, just have Xi Xi call me."

"Hey, good."

Yang Guilan was very happy that Lin Lang could stay here, after all, Lin Lang was now behaving more like a future son-in-law, and they were gradually becoming like family.

After Lin Lang went to the lounge, Yang Guilan immediately asked Yang Xi, "Xi Xi, how far have you and Lang Lang gotten?"

"Huh? This..."

……

In the lounge, Lin Lang mainly used his phone to reply to messages and also switched his Bitcoin contracts.

He knew that the lowest price for Bitcoin this year would be around $3,400, so he bought a long contract at the beginning of the year when it was $3,700.

Unexpectedly, it never bottomed out and continued to rise, reaching over $4,200 so far, an overall increase of 15%.
With this, his account balance had reached $24 million, and at this point, not making a T+0 trade would be unreasonable. The trading volume of Bitcoin contracts is enormous; currently, Bitcoin's daily trading volume is around $6 billion, but the daily trading volume of Bitcoin-related contracts exceeds $10 billion.

His amount of money is nothing at all.

Therefore, the transaction was completed almost instantly, without causing any ripples in the market.

If you have a large amount of capital, you need to plan accordingly. After all, the trading volume of Bitcoin is inflated because it can be traded 24 hours a day, and even contract trading is often irregular. These platforms frequently collapse.

Lin Lang finished everything an hour later.

Bitcoin options trading is not currently available and will likely appear in a few years; otherwise, it would allow for greater leverage.

However, it was meaningless by then.

After finishing, Lin Lang asked the doctor for access to the ward's camera, and then his phone showed the situation in the ward.

While Yang Xi and Yang Guilan were chatting, Lin Lang sent Yang Xi a message, asking her to come in and find him.

When Yang Xi received the message and prepared to come this way, Lin Lang put his phone inside the bed and covered it with the blanket.

Through the screen, it can be seen that as Yang Xi got up and walked towards the rest room, Yang Guilan also got off the hospital bed.

At this moment, Yang Xi had already entered the lounge and softly called out, "Brother..."

"Come, come, sit down next to me..."

Lin Lang called Yang Xi to sit on the edge of the bed so that she could also see the phone screen.

On the phone screen, Yang Guilan was almost at the door of the lounge, but the door was not closed properly, but deliberately left a crack.

When Yang Guilan arrived at the door, Lin Lang immediately hugged Yang Xi and exclaimed, "Wife, you're finally here! I've missed you so much..."

"Quick, quick, let your husband kiss you..."

"I've been so busy lately, I haven't been able to kiss my wife in ages..."

"My wife smells so good... I want to eat..."

"Um... Brother..."

"Get under the covers so the noise doesn't get out. Mom's quite traditional and might not accept premarital sex, so don't make her overthink it..."

The blanket quickly wrapped the two of them tightly, while a cell phone screen was flashing.

Yang Xi was lying on the bed, while Lin Lang was supporting himself with his arms in a plank-like position. There was no direct contact between them, except that their legs were pressed together.

She already knew what Lin Lang was going to do.

She noticed Lin Lang fiddling with one hand every now and then.

About two or three minutes later, the lower body began to pupate.

Through the light from the phone screen, Yang Xi could see Lin Lang's entire face; he seemed to be putting on a very difficult act.

In fact, she knew where her account was directing traffic, and she had also looked at those public accounts privately.

She even read the novel inside.

There are stories about a rural idiot and his widowed neighbor, and also stories about a rural idiot and his own sister-in-law...

She looked at the familiar names inside, and realized she had imagined them herself...

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Lang has always been her role model. Besides studying, she also particularly admires Lin Lang's family.

She just didn't dare to do anything, and didn't even dare to talk to Lin Lang too much.

Unless we meet in our hometown during the Chinese New Year, we'll only exchange a few words.

In reality, she was aware of the problems in her family and knew that once she embarked on the path of skirting the edges of the internet, it would be difficult to go back to the past.

Taking a risky path is the result of her compromise with her life, because if she didn't compromise, her mother would get into trouble.

She was never happy about skirting the line; on the contrary, it made her feel very inferior.

She didn't even dare to face Lin Lang.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have added Lin Lang on WeChat a few months ago and not said a single word to him.

She opened the chat window too many times, but just didn't know what to say.

The reflection from the phone screen revealed that Lin Lang's forehead was already sweating.

This exercise is very tiring; it's like doing push-ups, but at a high frequency.

After all, Lin Lang had no support at the moment.

Finally, on the phone screen, Yang Guilan left the rest room and returned to her hospital bed. Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief, turned to his side, and collapsed onto the bed, panting heavily.

I did push-ups for about five minutes straight, probably around seventy or eighty.

Even though he was supporting himself with his entire forearm, the stuffy environment inside the blanket still made his face turn red.

"Oops, I'm pressing on your arm. Let me get up for a bit, then you can put your arm back."

Lin Lang said something.

Yang Xi quickly said, "Brother, it's alright..."

"Then go out later, and make sure your clothes are a little messy. The doctor said your mother needs to let go of all her psychological pressure first, so that we can give her a more accurate assessment and treatment later. Originally, my parents were supposed to call to approve this, but I'm worried about other problems. You need to be careful in the future too. Whenever I have time, I'll come over and play along with your act. If all goes well, it should be done in a year or two."

"Ah."

Yang Xi nodded, then shifted his body slightly to give Lin Lang more space so that Lin Lang wouldn't have to keep his body turned to the side.

The bed itself is not big and is meant for one person to rest on. Now that two people are squeezed together, one person has to turn to their side.

It's just that Lin Lang's side was a wall; otherwise, he probably would have fallen down.

Yang Xi was standing sideways, facing Lin Lang directly.

Lin Lang turned off his phone screen, trying his best to avoid touching Yang Xi.

It's not that Yang Xi has a bad figure or is unattractive.

At such close range, he could already smell the fragrance emanating from Yang Xi, as well as her exquisite and alluring face and her enviable figure within reach.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so cautious; it's pointless to simply bully Yang Xi.

They're already at the lowest point in their lives.

Just then, Yang Xi suddenly said, "Brother, actually... we don't have to act."

"Hmm? What if you don't act anymore? Confront your mom? Now's not the right time."

"No, what I mean is, brother, you don't need to work so hard, I don't mind."

"Don't mind what?"

Yang Xi reached out and pulled Lin Lang's arm to her side, placing it on her chest.
