A pretty live streamer beckons, and a lewd male protagonist hooks her up.

"Hmm...it's a little more than yours."

Seeing their menacing approach, Wen Ruan expected a fierce battle, but she won so easily.

And the three who lost seemed even happier than she was?

Little Apple: "Quick, quick, we lost! Get your older brother over here to bring me my medical bills!"

Little Banana crossed her arms and chimed in, "That's right, that's right."

"Since you beat the three of us, you have to pay for each of our medical expenses!"

【? ? ? 】

[Past Events Drift Away: So their real purpose was actually to collect medical expenses?]

[He and his friends used to be very generous with medical expenses. As long as the other party wasn't too unreasonable, they'd spend a fortune. They're probably famous among the streamers now. *covers face and chuckles*]

[A top-tier open strategy; they're bound to lose anyway, but even if they do, there's a carnival. A perfect example of a powerful alliance.]

[@The sunset is beautiful, go, Pikachu!]

[You're the only one we can give this to...]

[Past Events Drift Away with the Wind: Otherwise, what can we expect from the Beggars' Sect?]

Fu Shiqing didn't think much of it and ran over to give everyone a Carnival gift.

The three men, with straight faces, made the same gesture and said in unison, "Thank you, Brother Sunset, for bringing the carnival!"

They are definitely triplets, but they won't admit it.

Little Apple smiled and said, "Little cake, would you like to join our sweet and soft family?"

Wen Ruan: "I think I'll pass..."

Little Banana clicked her tongue. "Little Cake, why aren't you angry?"

Should I get angry?

No, why is she angry?

Wen Ruan blinked, staring blankly at the screen, trying to find the answer from the public chat.

Oh no, my baby is seducing me again!

[Simp: Are you sick? Baby's clearly looking at me!]

[@SunsetIsBeautiful, isn't the baby cuter offline than in the live stream?]

[The sunset is infinitely beautiful: Yes, a million times cuter.]

[Simp: So fragrant, so soft, and so tiny~]

[Damn, I want to hug him too!]

[I love cilantro (runaway version with mini cakes): Why didn't you ask me? *crying*.jpg]

[Simp: Why don't you ask if you don't know the answer?]

[Sobbing!]

Little Pineapple started filing her nails at some point. She blew away the tiny nail clippings without even lifting her eyelids, and explained, "Our names are very similar to yours, and our styles are similar too. I thought you would be angry when you saw this."

"After getting angry, I'll call all my sponsors over to play against each other, and then I'll generate buzz. Anyway, being infamous is still being famous."

Little Banana: "Yeah, yeah, wasn't that how the bubble fish was before?"

"That time you two had a fight, Xinglang spent over 700,000 yuan on it!"

"But it's not bad that we can have a carnival now."

As Wen Ruan listened to their conversation, her thoughts drifted away.

When she finished her last PK match with Bubble Fish, she felt something was off.

Wen Ruan thought about it for a long time and realized that Bubble Fish didn't seem so bad after all.

Having been here for over a month, she was no longer the clueless girl she once was.

Wen Ruan discovered that humans are very complex.

Like Li Qiu, who was very kind to her at first, but turned out to be a liar in the end.

Bubble Fish was initially very unreasonable, but in the end, he actually cared about her.

so......

Wen Ruan smiled and said, "It's your freedom to choose what name you like and what style of clothing you prefer. Why should I be angry?"

"Besides, I'm still a nobody myself, so even if you guys imitate me, you probably won't get much traffic. But if it can help you, I'll still be very happy!"

Little Apple paused slightly, her eyes brightening, and asked hesitantly, "You really think so?"

Wen Ruan nodded: "Mhm!"

"It's more real than real gold!"

Gold can attract stones, but she can't.

Little Banana retorted, "Actually, we weren't imitating you. We've been streaming for over half a year, but we're even less popular than you, you know? Super less popular! Our viewership only improved after you gained some attention last time..."

"But little cake, if you ever need anywhere to go in the future, you can always come to our fragrant and soft family!"

Little Pineapple: "But you definitely can't be the clan leader, at most you can only be a little sister."

[Waaaaah, you're all such good babies.]

I thought it was a staged accident, but I'm sorry, I was being narrow-minded...

"It's okay, baby. It'll be fine once the misunderstanding is cleared up."

"Hey little cake, let's follow each other and hang out again next time!"

"Okay."

Wen Ruan felt a sense of satisfaction as she watched the number of people on her friend list grow.

"Bye-Bye!"

Little Banana: "Hmph, you wait! Next time we come looking for you, it won't be to scam you out of medical bills!"

Little Pineapple rolled her eyes at her, "What do you mean by 'cheating'? We clearly won those prizes through our own abilities..."

After disconnecting, Wen Ruan played a few more PK matches, and then fooled around with the fans in the live stream for a while before finally ending the broadcast at around 9 PM.

The salary for filming the dating reality show has already been deposited into my account, and it's a whopping 8,000 yuan!

It's three thousand more than expected!

Wen Ruan hesitated for a few seconds, then returned all the money to the creditor, keeping only five hundred for herself.

She yawned, finished making instant noodles, and nestled on the sofa, her head fuzzy, not wanting to move at all.

My phone kept buzzing with notifications.

There was no news of Song Yu.

Wen Ruan kept swiping the screen, her eyelashes drooping listlessly, feeling empty inside, with an indescribable feeling.

She opened the chat window and sent Song Yu an emoji.

People who used to reply instantly haven't responded to her even after five minutes.

Scrolling up further, all the messages were from her.

"Are you that busy...?"

A sour feeling welled up in Wen Ruan's nose. She lifted the lid of the instant noodles, took a bite, and tears started streaming down her face.

Before Song Yu came, she had been living alone.

I eat alone, I play alone.

But I just don't feel used to it now.

Wen Ruan felt that she had been spoiled by Song Yu, which had made her temperamental, and she would feel wronged at the slightest inconvenience.

She wiped away her tears, sniffed, finished her instant noodles, and then went to the toilet to take a shower.

Glancing out of the corner of her eye at the nearly empty bottle of catnip-scented shower gel, Wen Ruan sighed softly, "I have to spend money on something again..."

She watched as the foam in her palm was washed away by the water, and her lips pursed slightly.

I feel like money is just like these bubbles; you can't hold onto it even if you grab it in your hand!

Meanwhile, a low-pressure atmosphere permeated the office on the 26th floor.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows inside the house were covered by curtains, and the sound of thunder and rain was completely blocked out by soundproofing materials.

Shen Jinghe changed into clean clothes, and all the embarrassment of the afternoon disappeared.

He sat in the boss's chair, picked up the golden toad on the table and fiddled with it, saying casually, "You mean, Wen Ruan not only signed with Shengshi, but also went to record a dating reality show?"

"Living in a house with several men?"

Chen Ming still smiled ingratiatingly: "President Shen, please let me explain..."
