A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

For the next four days, Jiang Ye lived a very simple, unpretentious, and boring life.

I wake up naturally, and the first thing I do when I open my eyes is to check my phone balance. I stare at the five-figure number for a while and then slowly open Meituan to choose my first "feast" of the day.

Crab roe rice, Japanese set meals, gourmet barbecue...

Things I used to only dare to look at and drool over in pictures, I can now have them all!

Although each meal only costs a hundred or so yuan, which is far from luxurious, the sense of freedom to "eat whatever he wants without looking at the price" makes him feel incredibly happy.

After a satisfying meal, it's time for enjoyable games.

The only time I went out was to take a bath at Bubble Forest. Over three days, I unknowingly spent more than 1500 yuan. I felt incredibly carefree.

In contrast, there has been little substantial progress on the two key cashback targets.

As for Ye Cheng, she completely ignored his daily posts on WeChat Moments that subtly hinted at things like "my legs are cold," "my mouth doesn't taste good lately," and "I want to get new socks," leading Jiang Ye to suspect that she had blocked him.

She would occasionally send me a few photos of classroom corners she secretly took during class, food from the cafeteria after class, or silly cats and dogs she encountered on campus, mainly to "share life, but never engage in conversation".

At Jiang Ye's "friendly suggestion," the girl stopped working part-time at Tai'an Building, claiming that she "had more money and wanted to temporarily return to the boring campus life."

However, judging from her statement that "I don't need to go for at least a week," it is clear that Miss Ye's psychological price for "waiting for being kept" is temporarily set at a monthly salary of around 20,000 yuan, which is only enough for her to lie down for a week.

Yao Yao's side, however, presents a completely different style.

Every day, without fail, he bombards her with more than a dozen WeChat messages, ranging from "Good morning, brother" to "Good night, brother," interspersed with various expressions of concern and sharing of her life, such as "Have you eaten?", "What are you doing?", "It's so boring in the living room", and "I miss you". He does everything he can to maintain her popularity, and his dedication is comparable to that of online loan collectors.

But ironically, aside from verbal expressions of concern, there was no substantive "expression".

Jiang Ye's attitude towards this was to occasionally reply with "um," "oh," or "okay" while waiting for the game to be revived or during the queue, which was extremely perfunctory.

This almost passive-aggressive approach clearly made Yao Yao panic.

She even mustered up the courage to make a voice call, cautiously asking, "Brother, are you... not satisfied with the 'gift' I gave you last time?"

At that moment, Jiang Ye was controlling Yasuo to move forward with his E skill. Upon hearing this, his hand trembled, and he almost E'd into the enemy tower.

He glanced at the beige underwear hanging on the clothes rack, which he had "inspected," and hung it up without saying a word.

The main point is: leave it to air out.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Unlike Jiang Ye's leisurely pace, Su Ning's anxiety grew day by day as the first battle of the "Wen Yu Girlfriend" voice chat hall drew closer.

At the pre-battle mobilization meeting held in the hall on Thursday evening, I listened to the other sisters report on their mission progress—Zhixia 2000, Minnie 2000, July 1200, Dudu 1000...

Even the newbie Xiaomeng confidently stated that her older brother could come and at least handle 800 in turnover.

Looking at her lone 5000-point task hanging at the top of the list, and the consistently low response level from "Brother Ye" in the WeChat chat, Su Ning's mentality completely collapsed.

A profound sense of loss and panic overwhelmed her, as if "the whole world is moving forward while I am standing still or even regressing."

Why are other people's older brothers so reliable?

Why is it so difficult for her? Is she really not suited to be a live streamer?

The "Brother Chu" guy disappeared without a trace, and now this "Brother Ye" is doing the same thing...

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more desperate she became. Looking at the pitiful balance in her credit card app and the upcoming repayment date, an impulse to give up completely made her lose her mind.

In a fit of anger, she did something extremely risky.

"Holy crap! It's finally here!"

On Thursday night, Jiang Ye had just finished a tense and exciting "manual stress relief" activity, threw the battle-damaged underwear into the trash can, and lay back on the bed feeling refreshed.

He casually glanced at WeChat, his eyes sweeping over the long string of unread messages from Yao Yao. At first, he didn't pay any attention, but then he suddenly jumped out of bed, his blood, which had just cooled down, instantly boiling again!

On WeChat, amidst the long string of daily greetings and ramblings from Yao Yao, a transfer message was conspicuously mixed in!

The amount was a staggering 5000 yuan!

Jiang Ye's heart rate instantly soared to 180. He quickly swiped his finger across the screen, carefully checking the context.

The first part was mostly Yao Yao's usual warm greetings, until around 8 pm, when Yao Yao first sent some trivial messages as usual, then suddenly changed the subject and sent a link to JD.com:

[Brother, it's gotten colder lately. I saw this jacket and it looks really nice. I wanted to buy it for you as a gift, but I don't know your size or address. I'll transfer the money to you, and you can buy it yourself~]

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Jiang Ye clicked on the link.

The page redirected to a black short down jacket. He hadn't heard of the brand before; it was called VDJ. The product details described it as a British accessible luxury brand, and the price was listed as 4928.7 yuan.

"hiss......"

Jiang Ye gasped.

This girl...

Not only did they offer gifts proactively, but they also went straight for high-end gifts!

Such comprehension! Such courage!

Are you trying to become the female lead in this book?

He closed JD.com, returned to the WeChat transfer interface, looked at the gleaming 5000 yuan, swallowed hard, and clicked "Confirm Receipt" with a reverent heart.

The balance in my WeChat Wallet jumped instantly.

He immediately sparsed a sliver of his consciousness and immersed it into the system interface.

[Ding! Detected that the host has received a gift from Su Ning: 4928.7 yuan for shopping. Triggered 1000% cashback, receiving 49287 yuan!]

[System account balance: 49287 yuan!]

"Holy crap! That's awesome!!"

Jiang Ye hugged his phone, gave the screen a big kiss, and beamed with joy.

He deliberately ignored Yao Yao these past few days, because he knew that with the battle about to begin, she would definitely get anxious and might try to make a move.

But to everyone's surprise, Yao Yao's "expression" was so intense!

Without any prompting or guidance from him, they proactively classified the money as a "gift"!

sensible!

So sensible!

Jiang Ye's satisfaction and appreciation for Yao Yao reached their peak at this moment.
