......

After saying goodnight to each other, Susu and Jiang Sui returned to their own homes.

As soon as she opened the door, she was startled by Lu Qian, who was standing in the doorway in her pajamas.

"Sisi, what are you doing standing at the door? You scared me!" Susu exclaimed in a low voice, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. She blamed herself for being so focused on what had happened that evening that she hadn't even noticed someone was inside.

Lu Qian stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the shoe cabinet. She was wearing soft, loose cotton pajamas, her hair was loosely tied up, and there was no sign of sleepiness in her eyes.

"SuSu, the news's all over the group! You've really gotten a big cut, at least 90,000 in commissions, right? You've finally found a brother who truly cares about you!"

"Well... more or less." Su Su nodded with a charming smile, nudging Lu Qian's arm. "Alright, move aside and let me in first. Honestly, at this hour, I thought you were already asleep."

Lu Qian turned to the side, "I was almost asleep when I suddenly received a message in the group chat, and I couldn't fall asleep anymore."

I wish I were the last one to leave work tonight...

That's probably unrealistic, since even without Jiang Sui, there are other brothers who would care about him.

However, Lu Qian was deeply shocked to see that after Jiang Sui picked her up from get off work, he actually spent 20 yuan to pick up Su Su from get off work.

Moreover, there was also some jealousy.

"I've been doing group live streams for half a year, and I've never seen so many gifts being showered on me at once." Lu Qian sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of genuine envy. "I've never even seen what Ocean Dream looks like in person, and I didn't expect him to send 66 Ocean Dreams right off the bat."

Su Su bent down to change her slippers, trying hard not to show off, but the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, and even her voice became a little lighter: "This is the first time I've seen this too, it's really quite a surprise."

Lu Qian nudged her arm, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Su Su, Qian Sui was supposed to be my older brother, but you've snatched him away. Shouldn't you treat me to a nice late-night snack tomorrow to make up for it?"

At the level of a big shot like Qian Sui, it's no longer a matter of who knows him first; it's all about ability. Whoever can get him to willingly spend money is the one with the most skill.

SuSu knew, of course, that Lu Qian was joking.

But in that instant, her brows furrowed slightly, and hidden in that tiny wrinkle was a small amount of possessiveness that she herself couldn't quite explain.

This possessiveness wasn't directed at Jiang Sui as a person, because Su Su had never met Jiang Sui and didn't know his appearance, age, or even gender.

After tonight, she felt more gratitude and flattery towards Jiang Sui, and the respect that comes from being firmly favored, rather than any infatuation or falling in love.

So it's obvious that this possessiveness is directed at Jiang Sui's behavior of spending money... that's how it is at the moment.

But the next second, SuSu's brows relaxed, after all, there was only "a small pile".

She smiled sweetly and generously, her eyes crinkling: "Please, please~ Order whatever you want to eat tomorrow, eat your fill and get all plump and healthy."

"No need to be chubby and fair-skinned," Lu Qian chuckled mischievously, her eyes sweeping over her with a hint of teasing in her voice. "I'd be perfectly content if you ate this little potato of mine into a big steamed bun like you, Su Su."

Su Su's face flushed, and she instantly understood the teasing in her words. She rolled her eyes at her, feeling both embarrassed and amused: "I guess you don't want a midnight snack."

"No, no, Sister Susu—" Lu Qian immediately softened her voice and sweetly pleaded, "This little girl knows she was wrong and will never dare to do it again."

After a few playful exchanges, Lu Qian stopped joking and changed the subject to something more serious, looking at her with sparkling eyes: "Susu, have you and Brother Qiansui been in private contact? Have you added each other on WeChat?"

"I just added Green Bubble, and he wanted to go to sleep after only a few words, since it's so late." SuSu glanced at the time on the screen; it was already 3:30 a.m.

"Yes, it is indeed too late." Lu Qian nodded, then asked curiously, "Didn't you send him a private message before?"

"I did send it." SuSu thought for a moment, her tone becoming much flatter. "It was just a simple thank you for the gift, practically like we didn't even talk."

Back then, Jiang Sui was just a junior, so he didn't give many gifts; a symbolic thank you was enough.

......

The two chatted as they walked into the bedroom one after the other.

The room wasn't big, with two single beds placed close together. The bed legs were low and soft to the touch, so you could sink into the comfortable blankets as soon as you got on.

After getting into bed, they leaned against the headboard side by side, the blankets pulled up to their waists, and could still huddle together and continue chatting in hushed tones, just like any young girl having a late-night heart-to-heart talk.

"Susu, how old do you think Brother Qiansui is?" Lu Qian asked again.

"Judging from his usual speaking style, he's not greasy, nor does he seem like one of those older men who like to lecture people. He's probably in his early twenties?" SuSu guessed uncertainly, her fingers tracing the edge of her phone case. "You can't see anything through the internet."

"Very good, it's commendable that you have this awareness." Lu Qian is a year older than Su Su and has much more experience. "No matter how much he spends, you'll only get 90,000. And what if the other party is some old geezer or something..."

Su Su looked at Lu Qian with some confusion, "Qianqian, why are you suddenly saying these things?"

"I'm worried you'll get carried away by just one live stream because you lack experience." Lu Qian sighed, leaning back and sinking into the soft pillow. "In our line of work, it's all about youth. There's always a day when you have to quit and leave. Putting your hopes on others and depending on them for a living is never secure... especially depending on rich people."

"Don't worry, Sisi, I'm not that kind of person," Susu replied earnestly, her eyes clear. "I can tell the difference very clearly."

Lu Qian chuckled, her tone light and teasing again: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot, our Su Su is still a perfectly clean virgin."

SuSu's cheeks flushed, and she gently patted her: "Aren't you the same? What's so funny..."

"But at least I've had a proper relationship~" Lu Qian proudly raised her chin.

Su Su pursed her lips, glared at her defiantly, and the two of them quietly wrestled on the bed.
