Soon, the opposing team launched a long kick, and then we started kicking the ball around. A few days ago, I had a fight with Zhang Xuan, and my stomach was still scratched, so I didn't want to do anything too strenuous. I just stayed inside the goal, watching Xi'er chatting with me.

However, at that moment, a dark-skinned kid suddenly rushed over. Wow, that kid's a really good soccer player! With a turn and a dribble, he quickly dodged the ball. Then he lofted the ball high, again dodged the young master. Like a dark horse, the kid charged forward with the ball. Finding the right moment, he unleashed a powerful shot.

"Xi'er, get out of the way! Watch how I catch this ball for you!" It was my first time playing football, and the thought of putting my hard-earned martial arts skills to use made me extremely nervous.

"Wang Xi, keep it up!" Xi'er whispered to me.

"Don't worry, I'll show you how good this goalkeeper is!"

Just then, I watched the ball arc fiercely towards me, and I could already feel the wind whistling through the air. And with Xi'er right beside me, my desire to show off was already stirring.

I must show Xi'er a better side of myself. I need to demonstrate through my actions that her future husband is a well-rounded individual, someone exceptionally talented in every aspect!

"Wang Xi, the ball is coming." Xi'er was also nervous for me and whispered a reminder.

"Here it comes!" I shouted, and as the soccer ball flew towards me, I dodged to the side.

"..." Instantly, Xi'er blinked, looking embarrassed.

"..." Instantly, I blushed as I watched the soccer ball rolling on the ground...

"Good job hiding!" Suddenly, Young Master Bao clapped his hands loudly. The other leaders of our team, seeing Young Master Bao's fawning expression, remained silent...

Chapter 161 Backyard on Fire

Without batting an eye, Young Master Bao clapped his hands and strode towards me, saying, "Brother Xi, your martial arts have improved even more! You dodged that ball so well, so beautifully, perfectly capturing the essence of your movement! I can't believe it, even after not practicing for several days, your dodging ability has become even stronger than before!"

"Brother Bao..." I was so moved by Young Master Bao's words that I almost cried.

"Brother Xi!" Young Master Bao's eyes were also red.

"Brother Bao, that ball was so much slower than the one Leng Yan kicked earlier, okay?" I said after thinking for a moment.

“But your dodging movements are more elegant than before!” Young Master Bao said to me earnestly.

"Really?" I asked.

"Whether it's true or not, let everyone tell us. Brothers, do you think Brother Xi hid well or not?!" Young Master Bao turned around and roared.

"..." Everyone looked at Young Master Bao. No one spoke.

"Stop filming, let's keep playing." Groundfire couldn't take it anymore and scratched his head helplessly.

"Xi'er, I made a mistake with that ball just now. I treated it like a martial arts practice. You know, when I practice martial arts, I try to dodge as much as possible, and only catch it with my hands when I can't dodge it. Xi'er, wait for me. When they kick it again, I'll definitely catch the ball in a cooler way." I quickly said to Xi'er as I turned around.

“Okay, I believe you.” Xi’er nodded seriously.

However, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the opposing team didn't give me another chance to receive the ball. The mistake earlier had enraged Bao Shao Ye and Di Huo. As the two forwards, Bao Shao Ye and Di Huo were incredibly fast with the ball. They moved like they were flying, passing the ball back and forth. When they reached the opponent's area, Di Huo delivered a long pass that accurately struck Bao Shao Ye, who unleashed a powerful shot. With a whoosh, the ball arced into the opponent's goal.

"Young Master Bao is awesome!" The crowd erupted in cheers.

"The Earth Fire is so cool!" When the ball went in again, some of the girlfriends brought by the older brothers cheered.

And I, like a benchwarmer, sat blankly in the back. Xi'er whispered comfortingly beside me, "Don't be upset, you've already won by ten points. Isn't it a good thing that no one is kicking the ball to you?"

"It's a good thing, but my chance to show off is gone..." I muttered to myself, on the verge of tears.

I originally planned to show off to Xi'er, but I wasted this great opportunity. And since I wasn't very famous to begin with, this time Young Master Bao completely stole the spotlight.

During the meal, a large group of older men surrounded Young Master Bao, constantly toasting him. They chatted with him while loudly praising his football skills.

I wasn't jealous at all, just a little annoyed. An Yao stared at me for a long time, then suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Is it funny?" I asked.

"It's alright..." An Yao showed a pained expression.

Feeling down, I didn't drink much either. After three bottles of beer, I was already feeling the effects. Meanwhile, Young Master Bao had an exceptionally high alcohol tolerance today, managing to get all the gang leaders drunk. I thought to myself, "Well, that's fine too; it's an honor to have my own brother admired." Then we ate some more food and stayed with Young Master Bao until everyone was full.

When I got back to Tang Ning's house, my phone rang again. It was Shan Shan calling me this time. "Wang Xi, a tycoon gave me hundreds of thousands of yuan in tips today! Come check it out, our live stream is more lively than usual today!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" I perked up considerably after hearing Shanshan's words.

“Yeah, come on over. It’s not fun for me to do my live stream if you don’t come to watch,” Shan Shan said to me.

"Okay, I'll be home soon. I'll come over when I get there." With that, I hung up the phone.

Soon, An Yao and I arrived home. No one was home at Tang Ning's house; only Tang Ning herself was there. When Tang Ning opened the door for us, she looked incredibly cute in a thin nightgown. I ruffled her hair, then quickly took off my shoes and ran back to my room to turn on the computer.

Seeing my hurried appearance, Tang Ning followed me in curiously, "Wang Xi, what's wrong?"

"It's Shanshan from Class 3. Shanshan said a few days ago a rich guy gave her hundreds of thousands of yuan in tips. She asked me to go and take a look," I said to Tang Ning.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tang Ning also seemed very happy.

"Of course, they're my people." I smiled and turned on the computer.

When I turned on the computer, I couldn't help but glance at the keyboard. I had pried off a button from that keyboard before, but Tang Ning had glued it back on. Thinking about it now, it's kind of funny. I was afraid of being beaten by Tang Wendi, so I actually played the role of a "green tea bitch." Tang Wendi really drove me crazy; otherwise, I would never have acted like a woman and played such scheming games.

Tang Ning's house is very big. It has three bedrooms and a living room, and each bedroom is quite large. One bedroom is where Tang Ning's parents live, one bedroom is where Tang Ning lives, and the other is where my sister An Yao and I live. Each of our rooms, as well as Tang Ning's, has a computer.

Because I've been busy lately, we haven't had many opportunities to talk to Tang Ning. Tang Ning doesn't seem to mind; she's popular at school and has many friends. She used to always ask me to hang out because she was worried I'd be lonely. Now I don't have time to hang out with her anymore, and she's doing very well with her other friends.

I quickly logged into the prince's account, intending to go to Shanshan's room and give her some money to liven things up. But just as I was about to make the donation, Little Good Guy called me immediately. "Prince, did you log into my account?"

"That account is mine!" I said to the good guy in a rude tone.

"Young Master, hurry up. Stop messing around with me. I just poached a streamer yesterday, and I'm going to promote him. Hurry up and register a new account; I need this one." The kind-hearted boy said to me earnestly.

"Okay. Then I'll register a new account." Seeing that the kind guy had something important to do, I told him to log back into his account.

When Xiaohaoren logged back into his account, Shanshan's livestream viewership dropped by 50,000. I suspect Xiaohaoren has been using my account to show off every day lately. That account can bring tens of thousands of active fans anywhere. But even so, it's not a small amount; Shanshan's livestream still has nearly 100,000 fans.

When I was re-registering my account, I wondered what name to choose. Thinking about the rather fierce "Little Good Guy" from earlier, I decided to name myself "Little Good Guy 1314".

Then, without hesitation, he deposited 100,000 yuan into his account and spammed ten sets of golden light on the public chat. As soon as those ten sets of golden light appeared, Shan Shan's live stream instantly gained 10,000 viewers. Shan Shan's admin immediately grabbed the microphone and roared at the top of his lungs, "Thanks to my good buddy! Another set of giant airplanes is coming! Everyone, charge! Keep firing at me!"

The manager was shouting with great enthusiasm, and the music in the live stream was incredibly upbeat. Shanshan smiled on the screen and gave me a fist-and-palm gesture.

As I watched Shan Shan smile, Tang Ning suddenly pinched me lightly and said, "Well, so you're starting to date our school's big star again?"

Knowing that Tang Ning was teasing me on purpose, I grabbed Tang Ning's hand and said, "Stop it, Shan Shan and I are just ordinary friends."

"Pfft, I don't believe it. Lots of people at school are saying you two are dating, that you're a couple." Tang Ning pouted at me.

"Really?" I exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s true, a lot of people have said it,” Tang Ning said.

"That can't be right. Xi'er and I are the real couple. Xi and happy, we're such a perfect match. Why don't they say Xi'er and I are a couple? They say Shanshan and I are a couple!" I asked.

"Because Shanshan is the most popular person at school right now. A lot of people in our school like watching live streamers, and everyone knows that Shanshan is famous online. There was even a headline online a few days ago saying that Shanshan got signed by an entertainment company for 20 million. However, there are other reasons why people don't say that you and Xier are a couple." Tang Ning said with a mischievous smile.

"What's the reason?" I asked.

“They say you’re not good enough for Xi’er, they say you’re just a lazy rich kid!” Tang Ning said with a smile, pinching my nose and teasing me.

"You call me a rich kid and a hoodlum? You're the top girl in school, and you're not much better, are you?" I pulled Tang Ning into my arms and started teasing her.

Tang Ning was petite, and she fit perfectly in my arms. Now that I was stronger, Tang Ning couldn't keep up with me. I watched as Tang Ning's face turned red from all the tickling. And I kept laughing, feeling very happy to be holding Tang Ning in my arms.

Suddenly, the computer in front of us went silent, and the room fell quiet.

Then, a puzzled voice came from the computer, "Shanshan, has she ended her broadcast?"

"What happened? Why did Shanshan go offline when she was fine?" another voice came from the computer.

"I don't know, maybe something happened over there. Everyone wait a minute, let's call Shanshan and ask..." Soon, the computer went silent again.

"Huh? Why isn't Shanshan broadcasting?" Tang Ning stopped teasing me when she saw there was no sound from the computer.

"I don't know..." I couldn't help but frown as I looked at the now-closed live stream on my computer...

Chapter 162 Important Intelligence about the Little Good Guy

I checked the webcam on my computer repeatedly, but I couldn't find anything wrong. Then I checked the software on the XX platform on my computer, but I still couldn't find anything wrong. After thinking for a while, I called Xiaohaoren and asked, "Xiaohaoren, do you know of any software like this? Something where I don't turn on the webcam, but the person on the other end can still see what's happening here?"

"What do you mean?" the kind-hearted person asked.

"I didn't turn on my webcam, I just logged into the XX platform app. I wasn't video chatting with anyone, but the other side saw everything that happened on my end," I said.

"Damn, you got caught secretly masturbating?" Little Good Guy exclaimed in shock.

"Get lost, I wasn't masturbating in front of the computer. I was just arguing with Tang Ning for a while. Then Shanshan suddenly got angry and ended the live stream. Do you think it's possible that Shanshan used some kind of hacking software and saw what was happening on my end? And then she got angry and just stopped streaming?" I asked.

"I didn't understand..." the little good boy said.

"Damn it! I mean, I didn't connect with Shanshan via voice call or video chat. But is it possible that Shanshan planted hacking software on my end? That she can see everything that's happening on my end?" I asked.

"Damn, you think Shanshan is a hacking expert? She saw you with another woman? Didn't you register a new account? How did she know that account belonged to you? Besides, Shanshan is live streaming right now, she doesn't have time to play with your hacking software. You're just feeling guilty for cheating on Shanshan, you idiot!" Little Good Guy immediately started cursing.

"Screw you. I didn't sleep with any women. I just don't understand why Shanshan got angry and ended the live stream," I said.

"Something must have happened, or maybe she's on her period. Or maybe she saw something a hater said and is in a bad mood and doesn't want to stream. Shanshan is the most popular female streamer now, it's normal for her to have a little temper, isn't it? Stop trying to make yourself look good, where has Shanshan ever seen you messing around with women? Besides, Shanshan earned over a million today, even many big streamers don't earn that much on their birthdays. If she's tired, she should rest, it's no big deal, she can just stream again tomorrow, right? Anyway, the agreement is already signed, I've given her the money, she has to stream after 9 pm from now on," said the kind-hearted person.

"You gave her 20 million?" I asked.

"Idiot, haven't you been watching the news these past few days? The news about me giving her 20 million has spread all over the internet, and Shanshan is even more famous than before. But Shanshan is really good to you. When I offered her 20 million, she refused no matter what, saying she only did the live stream for you. I had to practically force her to accept the money," said the kind-hearted guy.

"Did you go on?" After a while, the little good guy asked me again.

"Screw you! Anyway, you better treat Shanshan well from now on. I'm busy here and can't take care of her. If you dare to treat her badly, you'll see what I do to you!" I said.

“Big brother, Shanshan is my cash cow now, I practically treat her like a princess. By the way, come to my company tomorrow. I'll show you the plans and bills from the past few days. I've divided our charity fund into several parts. One part is for rural poverty alleviation, another part is for finding trafficked children, and the third part is for helping families who can't afford medical care. It's already started, and I'll tell you the specifics when you come tomorrow,” said the kind-hearted guy.

"Okay, sure." I nodded and hung up the phone.

After the call ended, I saw that An Yao had already finished showering and returned to her room. Seeing my furrowed brow, An Yao looked at me coldly and said, "You played with fire, didn't you?"

"Don't talk to me!" I glared at An Yao, then frowned and looked at the computer screen.

That night, An Yao, Tang Ning, and I slept together. Tang Ning was lonely at home alone, and since she was close to An Yao, she stayed in our room to sleep. Tang Wendi's bed was quite large, and since both girls were very thin, it wasn't crowded at all. An Yao slept in the middle, and Tang Ning and I slept on either side.

Since An Yao and I are siblings, we're used to sleeping together. Tang Ning is also the kind of girl who doesn't mind sleeping with me.

Tang Ning was dressed too scantily, and the strong scent emanating from her body kept me awake at all.

But there's another reason I have insomnia. That reason comes from Shanshan.

I couldn't resist leaving my room and sitting on the sofa in the living room, lighting a cigarette. Then, recalling the scene of Shanshan ending her live stream, I knew I had to make things clear with her. Right now, my heart is filled with Xi'er and Zhang Xuan; there's no room for anyone else besides them.

As for what happened tonight, it's very likely because Shanshan thought I wasn't watching the live stream. She was in a bad mood, so she simply stopped streaming.

I can't like Shanshan, and I can't give her a place in my heart. If things continue like this, I might deeply hurt Shanshan and affect her career. Shanshan is just an ordinary girl, and it's a good thing that she has this opportunity to change her life. I'm not a bad person; I hope Shanshan can earn a lot of money and live a good life.
