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

At this time, the hall wasn't very lively; only Yao Yao, the hall manager Zhi Xia, and a streamer named July were on the microphone.

The background music was soothing, there weren't many comments on the public chat, and there were only about ten people in the entire hall.

As soon as Jiang Ye's account entered the live stream, Zhi Xia became incredibly excited, her volume suddenly increasing:

"Welcome—to—my—Yao—Yao—family—eldest—brother!!! Wild Brother!!! Good evening!!!"

The scream was so loud it seemed to hit Jiang Ye right in the head through the phone, startling him so much that he almost dropped the grilled chives he had just put in his mouth onto his pants.

"Brother! You're finally here!"

Yao Yao's voice followed immediately, her tone full of grievance: "Why don't you reply to my WeChat messages? I sent you so many!"

Her grievance was genuine.

During this period, she truly experienced what it means to experience both extremes of life.

This guy is incredibly generous when it comes to spoiling her; he gives her whatever she wants, and gifts just keep coming her way before she even asks for them.

But when they're cold, they can be truly heartless. If you send a dozen or twenty WeChat messages, you'd be grateful if they even replied with a simple "hmm." And if you make a voice call, they won't answer nine out of ten times.

This made her mood like a rollercoaster every day, constantly switching between "he loves me" and "he doesn't love me," and she felt like she was being manipulated into a state of numbness.

Jiang Ye picked up another skewer of lamb kidneys and typed on the keyboard with one hand: 【Think about it.】

Upon hearing those five familiar words, Yao Yao, sitting in front of the computer, instantly broke down and started whining into the microphone: "Brother~~! You're making me think again! What exactly do you want me to think about? I'll give you anything..."

"Yao Yao!" Zhi Xia was startled and quickly interrupted.

She was really afraid that this silly girl wouldn't think things through and would blurt out all the private little experiments they had been doing together, like "exploring human anatomy" and "improving hands-on skills."

However, although she reacted quickly, the tourists below still instantly caught the key words, and the live chat exploded:

[Hmm? What did they give you? Tell me in detail!]

[Please elaborate; my friend has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and I'd like to hear more!]

[As expected, the big brother's money wasn't wasted!]

Got it, it's paid content, right?

When Zhixia called out to her, Yao Yao realized what was happening, but she just pouted and didn't seem to care much.

These people below, they only join a fan group after the big brother in the hall sends out red envelopes, and some even run away after grabbing the red envelopes. So what if there's a misunderstanding? It doesn't affect Brother Ye anyway.

She composed herself, but couldn't help but complain a little: "Brother, why are you always so hot and cold towards me? I'm almost catching a cold."

Zhi Xia silently rolled her eyes in her mind.

Isn't it obvious?

It's probably because after their video chat, the guy went into a 'post-coital' state, so he became distant. But after a few days, he remembered her and naturally became enthusiastic again.

It seems she still lacks experience, doesn't understand men, and doesn't know how to take the initiative to arouse the older brother's interest.

She laughed and smoothed things over, "Silly Yao Yao, don't you understand? What Brother Ye means is that you're not proactive enough! You need to let Big Brother feel your enthusiasm and sincerity!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sports car flashed across the screen.

[Ye Ge gifted Zhi Xia a sports car*1]

This sports car represents Jiang Ye's recognition of Zhi Xia's interpretation.

Correct!

You're not proactive enough!

Where are my shoes? What's the use of just empty words and showing concern if the money hasn't been transferred?

"Thanks for the sports car, Brother Ye! You're so generous!"

Zhixia chuckled and thanked her, "Yaoyao, see? What did I tell you? That's exactly what Brother Ye meant! Relationships are a two-way street. You can't always expect your older brother to take the initiative; he has to show some affection too. Do you expect him to pamper you every day?"

Yao Yao was speechless with frustration.

When has this guy ever comforted me?

I've always been the one fawning over him, sending good morning, good afternoon, and good night greetings—more frequently than the palace maids—and making at least five phone calls every day without fail (never answering), and sending twenty or thirty WeChat messages (with a pitifully low reply rate)...

Just as she was about to retort, another sports car slid across the screen.

[Ye Ge gifted Zhi Xia a sports car*1]

Yao Yao: "......"

Looking at the two eye-catching sports cars, she began to have a deep doubt about life.

Isn't that proactive enough?

Does he expect me to video call him three times a day to report my thoughts and feelings? Or should I just drop in at his house and show up in bed?

She scratched her head, instinctively wanting to ask her "strategist" Zhi Xia for help, but swallowed the words back.

No, I can't save face!

She received a gift worth 30,000 yuan yesterday, which even alarmed the guild's operations team. They even held an experience-sharing session for her in the lobby last night.

She talked on and on for a long time on the microphone, saying things like "sincerity is the only killer skill" and "you should maintain things with your heart instead of just taking from them," portraying herself as a model of a high-EQ anchor.

If her sisters found out that her so-called "protection" was actually just constantly "tribute" to her older brother and that she maintained the relationship by "giving gifts" and pulling strings, she would lose face big time!

Moreover, there are probably countless people in the hall and guild secretly sending private messages to Wild Brother to poach his girlfriend. She must keep this "secret" tightly and never let anyone find out that she is not his "only one"!

While chatting absentmindedly with Zhixia and Qiyue, Yaoyao stared at the quiet avatar in the visitor list and pursed her lips.

Anyway...

Anyway, I've already decided that if he can genuinely protect me for two months, I'll meet him in person.

So, giving him a little "sweetness" now to encourage him seems... not so bad, right?

She picked up her phone and started scrolling through the photo album.

Those overly provocative images definitely can't be posted; they have to be subtle, leaving room for the imagination...

Finally, she chose a photo of herself sitting by the window in shorts, with sunlight shining on her right leg. The light outlined the shapely lines of her leg, and her skin looked fair and smooth.

She gritted her teeth and sent the photo to Ye Ge via private message.

Jiang Ye, who was facing the computer screen, stroking a lamb's trotter in one hand and holding a grilled oyster in the other, heard the WeChat notification sound, casually clicked on the picture sent by Yao Yao, and a series of question marks immediately appeared above his head.

What do you mean?

This is... a perk?

But what kind of kind person only posts a photo of one leg when sharing a welfare photo?

He replied with a question mark, speechless: 【?】

When Yao Yao saw that Ye Ge replied instantly, she was overjoyed. It seemed that this trick had caught his attention!

She quickly pressed her advantage, typing away to explain:

Yao Yao: [Brother, look, didn't we agree to meet in two months? I've come up with a really special idea to make it feel special!]

Yao Yao: [How about I send you a picture of one part of my body every week for the next two months? Today it's my right leg, next week my left hand...]

Yao Yao: [That way, as time goes by, like a jigsaw puzzle, you'll slowly piece together the headless me! Then, on the day we finally meet, we can reveal the mystery of my head! Isn't that super romantic and super meaningful!]

Wild Bro: [...]

Jiang Ye's lips twitched as he read the text.

He understands the importance of ritual.

But the sense of ritual these sisters conceived...

One "human body fragment" per week, and after eight weeks, a complete person is pieced together?

Is this definitely just a little romantic gesture between lovers, and not a search for clues in a criminal case?

He could almost see the headline of "Legal Report Today": "Young Female News Anchor Mysteriously Disappears, 'Kind-hearted' Man Finds Human Body Puzzle on His Phone"...

Wild Bro: [Skip all the unnecessary steps and go straight to the chest photos, thank you.]

Yao Yao, sitting in front of the computer, gasped for breath. Looking at the simple and blunt requirements on the screen, her "puzzle plan," which she had just come up with and thought was incredibly romantic, instantly shattered.

really......

You can't play those fancy games with a straightforward guy like this!
