Shen Zhizhou is handsome, but he might not live as long as you, Shushu.

Unexpectedly, the street performance last night was filmed and posted online, and it went viral. Countless netizens praised the hamster's cuteness and the purity of its singing voice.

Shuyi held up her phone and showed it off in front of everyone, saying, "I told you my trick was pretty good, right? Let me show you all how powerful this mouse is!"

Zhizhi was a little incredulous and kept asking everyone, "Do you all really say I sing well? Will more people come to listen to me sing in the future?"

Shen Zhizhou opened his phone and zoomed in on the text in front of Zhizhi, "In principle, yes. Because I have already received collaboration offers from brokerage firms and companies, but the specific choice is up to you."

The monsters didn't quite understand these differences, so Shen Zhizhou grabbed some paper and pen and started explaining them to Zhizhi and the others. After hearing the explanation, everyone looked at Zhizhi. The flowery rat spirit Lili suggested that Zhizhi should take the □ route, since they, as monsters, didn't really understand those things either. It was good enough that people listened to her singing at the street corner like this.

She stared at the scribbles on the paper on the table, glanced at her phone screen, pursed her lips, and thought for a long time with her fingers interlaced. In the end, she still wanted to try a bigger stage so that more people or demons could hear her singing. After all, she had left her hometown to come here because she wanted someone to appreciate her singing, even if she was just a little sparrow and even if some demons laughed at her for being delusional.

"What we need to do is let the monsters do what they want and establish themselves in the human world. I support you, Zhizhi!" Shuyi cheered for Zhizhi, who was moved to tears and hugged Shuyi tightly.

Seeing this, Shen Zhizhou looked at the flowery rat Lili. After fulfilling the wishes of the little sparrows, it was Lili's turn.

Lili thought for a moment, and it seemed that she didn't have any other ideas besides finding her former owner. But seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Lili nervously gripped the pen on the table and started chewing on it.

Whenever she gets nervous, she can't help but want to gnaw on something with her teeth. Even after becoming a demon, this habit hasn't changed. Seeing this, Shen Zhizhou immediately suggested, "Why don't you do a live stream of carving with your teeth in your original form?"

The demons: "???"

Seeing the three furry heads of the monsters huddled together, looking at Shen Zhizhou with a puzzled expression, he couldn't resist petting them all. He had only recently discovered that furry monsters felt especially comfortable and relaxing to touch.

"Lili can carve any object with her teeth. Live streaming can help more people get to know Lili and maybe find her owner."

"I'm willing! I want to go back and continue living off that human. I like that human." Lili's eyes sparkled with anticipation for living off that human.

The reason is simple: the feeling of being a kept man is just too wonderful. And since I don't have any great ambitions, I'm already happy as long as I can eat and drink my fill and have someone to serve and take care of me. Every day after running away from home, I even despise myself for being so stupid as to pursue freedom.

What's the use of freedom? Having someone to take care of you and feed you is the real deal!

Shu Yi supervised the project daily, urging Shen Zhizhou to make progress. After the three of them conducted an on-site inspection and analysis, they signed the contract.

When they parted at the airport, Zhizhi hugged Lili and Shuyi tightly, saying, "Don't forget me. I'll take care of you when I become famous!"

Lili's eyes were swollen from crying. She carefully took out an exquisite gift box from her bosom and gave it to Zhizhi. "This is a crystal that I asked Boss Shen to find. It's carved with your image when you sing. I... I'll miss you!"

The three girls hugged each other and cried. Their manager went over and patted Zhizhi on the shoulder to remind them that it was time to board the plane. Shen Zhizhou took out tissues from his pocket to wipe their tears and comforted them, saying, "It's not like we're not coming back. We can go see Zhizhi again if we have the chance in the future."

Shuyi nuzzled against Zhizhi, her eyes, washed by tears, were exceptionally bright and she couldn't bear to look at her, which made Zhizhi unable to hold back her tears again.

Shen Zhizhou had no choice but to pull Shuyi away and tell Zhizhi to hurry up and board the plane. Zhizhi ran back halfway and pulled Shen Zhizhou aside, instructing him: "Be nice to Shuyi! Don't bully her. If she gets angry, I'll... hate you!"

This was probably the worst punishment she could think of; she wanted her best friend to be happy.

Turning back to wipe away Shuyi's teary eyes, Shen Zhizhou smiled and nodded repeatedly, promising not to bully Shuyi before leaving, glancing back every few steps.

After finishing dealing with Zhizhi's matter, Shuyi immediately set up a suitable live streaming scene in the company's second-floor lounge. She even created an account to test the waters with a live stream tonight.

After communicating with Lili about the live stream content in advance, Shuyi shook hands with Lili to cheer her on. Then they each assigned tasks: Shuyi was responsible for warming up the atmosphere of the live stream, Shen Zhizhou was responsible for live stream management, and Lili was responsible for performing her talents.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the live stream of Chestnut the Fancy Mouse looking for its owner. Now, Chestnut will perform its special skill for you—ivory carving."

Upon hearing the command, Lili immediately grabbed the wood and started gnawing on it. Viewers watched the video of Lili huffing and puffing as it used its teeth to carve the wood, looking adorable. Soon, the screen was flooded with comments.

"My goodness, is that the same mouse that used to stick to people at the street corner the other day? It's so talented!"

Shuyi blushed as she saw the comments and remembered the day she performed for money. She explained, "No, baby, this is a new mouse named Lili, but she got lost and now we want to help the whole internet find her owner."

"Wow, how could such an adorable hamster get lost? Could the main seller be staging this to sell the hamster?"

Seeing that some people in the live chat were questioning her, Shuyi immediately explained, but she simply ignored the malicious comments floating in the live chat.

A good mindset determines one's life—this is a phrase I recently learned, and it couldn't be more fitting here.

"Wow, look at that mouse! It can actually carve! It even carved a Mickey Mouse! It's so cute, it's melting my heart! Come to my arms!"

Upon seeing this, Shuyi immediately displayed the Mickey Mouse carved by Lili in front of the camera for everyone to see. She also invited netizens to order any wood carvings they wanted to see and asked Lili to make them.

The live stream quickly rose to the top of the popularity charts, with some even wanting Shu Yi to link the items for purchase. Shu Yi glanced at Shen Zhizhou, who nodded slightly, and then turned to the viewers, saying, "Babies, all of Chestnut Carving's ornaments will be given away for free today! Please follow us, and we'll randomly select winners from our followers!"

Shuyi grinned with satisfaction after she finished speaking. She had studied for a long time for this live broadcast, and had filled two notebooks with notes. Seeing the effect of today's live broadcast, Shuyi felt that it was all worthwhile.

Just as I was feeling happy, a comment below caught my eye.

"This is my lost hamster. Could you please return it to me?"

Shuyi immediately called on Shen Zhizhou to let him connect with the other person via video call, wanting Lili to see if it was her master. However, the person refused to show his face after connecting via video call. Shuyi reminded the other person to show his face so that Lili could take a look.

The man shouted in a loud voice, "This is my lost mouse! Give it back to me!"

Shuyi heard a rough male voice and concluded that this person was definitely not Lili's owner, because Lili had previously said that her owner was a very gentle and beautiful young lady who exuded fragrance.

So Shuyi explained to the person, "I'm sorry, you're not Lili's owner. Lili's owner is a girl~"

"I said she's my mouse, so she's my mouse. Can't you understand human language? I said give her back to me right now!"

"Lili isn't a mouse, Lili is a fancy rat! You don't even know what breed Lili is, yet you claim it's yours. Have you ever respected Lili? People like you aren't welcome in my live stream!"

After Shuyi finished speaking with a huff, she glanced at Shen Zhizhou. Shen Zhizhou clapped for Shuyi and blocked that man in one smooth motion. Shuyi saw that her chin was held high, looking like she had been approved.

Lili not only carved Mickey Mouse with her teeth, but also carved other IP characters such as Kuromi and Cinnamon Dog, and even carved a small ornament of Shen Zhizhou hugging Shuyi.

Shen Zhizhou, relying on his long arms, was faster than Shu Yi at snatching things, and he began to admire them in his hands.

The figure carved on the ebony is lifelike. Shuyi, smiling brightly, is making a peace sign in Shen Zhizhou's arms. Shen Zhizhou also gently holds her in his arms. He places the ornament next to his left cheek, raises an eyebrow, and asks, "Isn't the real person more handsome?"

Shen Zhizhou was quite satisfied with his appearance, so his question was a statement of fact. Shu Yi was speechless at Shen Zhizhou's arrogance and made a gesture as if she wanted to punch him.

Shen Zhizhou held the ebony ornament, her eyebrows curving into a smile as she covered her mouth. The black bangs on her forehead were a little too long, obscuring her eyebrows and eyes, but they still couldn't hide Shen Zhizhou's captivating beauty.

Shu Yi was momentarily stunned. Shen Zhizhou's smiles used to never reach his eyes and were too formulaic, but now they melted away like ice and snow.

"Oh my god, this guy's smile is so handsome! He's practically a celebrity with a model-like face." User 1 commented, sending hearts.

"Hey bro, do you want a wife? If so, add me on WeChat, 13×××××." User 2 started spamming the chat, asking for WeChat contacts.

User 3 started spamming messages about yachts and spaceships, all in an attempt to get Shen Zhizhou's contact information.

Shuyi patted Lili's head and complained, "This world that judges people by their looks is just too crazy. Lili, you sculpted all night and it's not as good as this bastard showing his face and smiling. I want to condemn these shallow humans!"

"Are you jealous?" Lili stopped talking and whispered to Shuyi from behind the camera, "It's okay, you have the advantage! Although he's handsome now, he might not live as long as you... Don't worry, I think Boss Shen treats you differently, I believe in you!"

There's no need to comfort her like that. Besides... she doesn't care who Shen Zhizhou likes at all. What she cares about now is how to help Lili find her owner.

"This mouse looks like the one my friend lost. Does it have a scar on its back?"
