Wen Xinran noticed the comments on the live stream chat and knew that her performance had been a success.

The next step is to establish a persona of strength and feigning indifference.

Controlling her gaze, she pretended to be relieved and silently drank her water.

As expected, netizens felt even more sorry for her, and more and more people started criticizing Xia Chun.

In her eyes, Xia Chun was just a fool. She had manipulated public opinion so quickly that Xia Chun hadn't even had time to react.

When she finally realized what was happening, she was shocked to find herself being attacked online. Her eyes turned somewhat resentful, but the fleeting look was still caught by netizens, who then launched another attack on her.

But since it's being broadcast live right now, she doesn't dare to confront them directly.

Moreover, with Wen Xinran and Song Zhihuai right there, she had no choice but to hold back for now.

Pretend nothing happened.

Song Zhihuai's attention was not on the bullet comments, so he did not notice the endless online arguments.

They didn't realize how much they had eaten until they went to pay the bill.

No more, no less, exactly 300.

Normally, this amount of money wouldn't be considered much for them.

But they only have 200 yuan each now, so 300 yuan is not a small amount.

When it came time to pay, we split the bill equally, with each person contributing 100 yuan.

In other words, they spent half the money on one meal.

They would have to survive on 100 yuan for the remaining day and a half.

There's nothing I can do about it; I brought it on myself.

Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu were live-streaming. Although they were just making ceramic cups, many people were watching, and their popularity remained high.

They finished making the tortoise and the rabbit and carefully pasted them on.

Finally, it was time to color the cup. It took a full half hour to color it, and then it was finally finished.

When Mr. Li came out, he was quite surprised to see their finished product. He thought they were just messing around, but it turned out to be quite good.

It was in no way inferior to the first one he made.

However, firing the porcelain will take some time, and it will take another half month to get the finished product.

Shen Shiqing thought there was no problem and gave Boss Li an address so that it could be sent to her home later.

Mr. Li observed them for a long time and felt that they were a perfect match.

I couldn't help but ask.

"Have you two been together for a long time?" The question left my mouth, and I immediately realized it was inappropriate, but the words were already out and couldn't be taken back.

“No, why would the boss think that way?” Shen Shiqing said, her eyes full of laughter.

She wasn't lying; she and Lu Jingchu hadn't been together for very long.

As for what others think, that's their own business.

Mr. Li was clearly a little skeptical; the atmosphere between this long-married couple didn't seem fake.

Shen Shiqing inquired about the price, unsure if she could afford it. She had never done pottery before and was not really sure.

"You two are our 100th couple, so I'll give you a discount. Just give me 100." The price offered by Boss Li was within an acceptable range. He used high-quality clay, so this order was practically free and he was losing money.

However, he also had his own considerations. With two handsome men and beautiful women producing the live stream, it might even have a promotional effect, which would be a good thing.

"Really? Mr. Li, you're not kidding us, are you?" Shen Shiqing smiled brightly.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? Come and see for yourself if you don't believe me."

The two followed Boss Li to a decorative wall.

The photos above were taken by customers who came here to do pottery.

Shen Shiqing's gaze fell on the wall, and he browsed through all the photos on the wall.

"Yes, there really are 99 photos. Boss Li was right...we did."

"No way, you actually counted them?!" Boss Li was a little incredulous. "You're pretty amazing... you counted so fast."

His eyes were conveying a message—don't be too serious, you're really ruthless.

"Come on, my 100th guest, let's take a group photo!"

The two of them didn't refuse and picked up the ceramic cups they had made themselves as props.

Mr. Li pressed the shutter, and soon the photo was captured on the photographic paper and displayed on the live broadcast screen.

Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu were very satisfied.

"Doesn't this scene seem a bit familiar?" Shen Shiqing looked up at Lu Jingchu, a smile he couldn't suppress on his lips.

"Yes, that's true." Lu Jingchu thought to herself, it was just yesterday.

"Alright, I'll give you two the center position." Boss Li placed their Polaroid photos in the very center of the photo wall.

It's easy to spot at a glance.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Li."

It was already afternoon when the photos were taken, and Lu Jingchu paid for them very conscientiously, leaving Shen Shiqing no chance to even take out his own money.

Although not, to be honest, she was very happy. A boyfriend like this made her feel very at ease.

"Teacher Lu, all the money is gone, what are you going to do?" Shen Shiqing looked at her with a light tone, his eyes filled with her.

"What can we do? We'll have to rely on you to support us, Teacher Shen?" Lu Jingchu's voice suddenly became much gentler and even had a touch of allure, almost bewitching Shen Shiqing.

Help?! My boyfriend is too flirtatious, what should I do?!

“Sure, but it’s only 200 yuan. Teacher Lu might have to suffer with me.” Shen Shiqing replied with a smile.

This exchange sent netizens' adrenaline soaring.

[This is hilarious! Little Li, are you secretly shipping them too? Hahahaha]

[Is Shi Jie denying it?! The two aren't together?! I'm so excited, don't dampen my spirits!!!]

[No, think about it from another angle. Shi Jie isn't denying it; she really is in a relationship, but not for very long!!! Isn't this the typical behavior of a couple deeply in love?! Hehehe!!!]

Holy crap, there really are 99 photos... I thought Boss Li was joking...

[Sister Shi is so funny, hahaha, she actually counted them! Little Li was dumbfounded, hahaha!]

[Wait a minute... Boss Li said the 100th couple, which means... hehehe, the walls are covered with couple photos, and they didn't object!!!]

[What?! What do you mean, "This seems familiar?! What else do we not know?! What are you still hiding from us?! I'm going crazy!!!]

[Attention everyone! For just 200 yuan, you can have Teacher Lu on your side! Hahahaha!]

[Can we each take a knife and bring Teacher Lu home? Waaaaah!]

Are these two really not flirting?! I'm totally obsessed, leave me alone!!!

[I have a reasonable suspicion that they're dating on company funds; I'm not kidding...]
