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

Jiang Ye returned home, threw himself heavily onto the bed, sprawled out in a "奆" shape, and sighed silently while staring at the ceiling.

To lu or not to lu, that is the question.

This is truly a philosophical question, especially for a young man who has over 80,000 yuan in his hands and seems to have an indomitable spirit.

Actually, after parting ways with Ye Cheng at the entrance of K11, he did have other thoughts.

If you had 83,000 yuan in your pocket, it would be a lie to say you weren't upset at all.

He stood in the chilly wind at the mall entrance for a good ten minutes, holding his phone, swiping his fingers across the screen for a long time.

Although he had neither experience nor connections and was a typical "theorist," as the saying goes, money can make the devil push oil.

He figured that even if he might encounter some pitfalls and pay some "tuition fees" in the early stages, as long as he was willing to invest and try a few more times, he would eventually find a place that suited his taste and get what he wanted.

Even if all else fails, we can always rent a BMW, go to the entrance of Shengyin, and just wait there.

After hesitating for a while, he finally silently raised his hand to hail a taxi and chose to go home.

It's not that I have a strong sense of morality, it's mainly... out of some inexplicable respect for my "first time".

Scientific research shows that a man's first time...

Okay, science doesn't study this, but it's still very meaningful.

Now, after lying in bed for almost half an hour, the restlessness in my body and the turmoil in my heart have not subsided, but have become even clearer because of having nothing to do.

One moment my mind is filled with Ye Cheng's sly eyes and warm touch as she mischievously played pranks under the table, the next with Yao Yao's sweet "brother" in the live stream, and even the image of Su Ning carefully selecting a gift at the Versace store today flashes through my mind...

Eh?

wrong!

Am I going crazy from holding it in? Aren't Yao Yao and Su Ning the same person?!

"Oh shit!"

Jiang Ye scratched his hair in frustration. To distract himself and clear his mind of the jumbled images, he simply picked up his phone and opened Douyin (TikTok).

It's been 13 days since the system was activated on the 26th.

But the seemingly simple "gentleman's task"—collecting personal items from three goddesses with scores of 85 or higher—is still stuck at (2/3).

Although the task has a one-month time limit, which seems quite generous, the system instructions also state that at least two tasks must be completed each month to avoid penalties.

To be on the safe side, we should finish the last item as soon as possible.

"Sigh, where should I farm this last 'Goddess Fragment'?"

Jiang Ye smacked his lips and listlessly swiped his finger across the screen.

As a result, with a casual swipe, big data accurately pushed the first live stream that popped up, and it was "Wen Yu's Girlfriend".

The microphone was quite lively, with Yao Yao, Zhi Xia, Tian Mei, and Minnie, several people he recognized, all there.

To save money, he didn't enter the live stream room, but instead stood at the door like a "screen spy," listening to what was happening inside.

The girls seem to be chatting about a movie.

Zhi Xia said lazily, "Hey? Sisters, any good movie recommendations lately? I'm feeling a bit bored."

"The big movies are all waiting for New Year's Day or the Spring Festival; there doesn't seem to be anything good to watch right now."

Yao Yao sounded quite relaxed: "Watching old movies is pretty good too. I rewatched all of Stephen Chow's classic films a few days ago, and they're still so funny!"

Minnie shared, "I just finished watching 'Big Hero 6' yesterday, wow, Baymax is so cute! The story was also quite heartwarming, I recommend it!"

Zhixia seemed to want to agree: "Oh, me too..."

"Um?"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a slightly puzzled voice. It was Sweet Girl: "How capable is Lu?"

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the microphone.

Jiang Ye, who was drinking water, almost spat it all over the brand-new phone screen. He forced it down, which resulted in him coughing repeatedly and his mouth twitching wildly.

"Holy crap... these streamers..."

He wiped his mouth, speechless. "Can they even see the visitor list at the entrance? How can they drive on this crappy road? Are they trying to provoke me?"

Inside the hall, Zhixia was clearly speechless at the sudden high-speed drift, and scolded her impatiently:

"Sweetie! When will you ever find a big brother like this? You're always veering off course into the ditch. Even the big brothers aren't as shameless as you. When you chat, it's hard to tell who's flirting with whom. Do you even know what shyness or demureness is? Even if you know everything, you still have to act shy in front of the big brothers. Let them enjoy the sense of accomplishment of guiding and conquering. That's what makes them feel good, understand?"

Yao Yao immediately chimed in, seizing every opportunity to solidify her image as a "high EQ anchor":

"That's right! My brother Ye said he likes my shy yet innocent side."

Zhi Xia: "Yeah, if you can't be like Yao Yao, you can at least be like Minnie! I'm really impressed with you. Sometimes when your brother tells a slightly risqué joke, you turn around and tell an even dirtier one. How can that be? You'll be lucky to get any tickets!"

After being bombarded with insults by the two, the sweet girl retorted, "Pfft, I'm not going to be like Minnie! At most, I'll just talk about it, have some fun. Minnie, she..."

Zhi Xia, sitting in front of the computer, felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She instantly moved the mouse and hovered it over the sweet girl's avatar, ready to "manually mute" her at any moment.

Fortunately, the sweet girl seemed to realize that she couldn't say what she was about to say on a public microphone, so she abruptly stopped herself, coughed, and changed the subject in a more "tactful" way:

"Ahem... I can't be like Minnie! Last time she went to ride a stationary bike, she only rode for ten minutes, and she was sweating buckets..."

She clicked her tongue: "The car seat has been drying in the sun for days since I got back, I can't do that!"
