Since returning from that seafood buffet, Su Ke seemed to have a sudden epiphany. He would take the initiative to contact Liu Nian and care about her daily life.

Actually, after returning that day, Su Ke took the initiative to contact Si Yue, whom he had dated before. When he received the answer that Si Yue behaved the same way, he understood.

Although his family background is not as good as Liu Nian's, and he doesn't know much about Liu Nian's family at the moment, he is already in college, and in two or three years, he will still be able to earn money to support her.

Although Su Ke came from a poor family, he was not ashamed. On the contrary, he was stubborn and would not let go of anything or anyone he had decided on.

For example, with his current life, once he was certain of his feelings, he never thought of giving up.

He remembered Liu Nian saying she liked younger men. Wasn't he just a few years younger than her? Whether he was in his teens or twenties, he was her type, wasn't he? The age difference of just one year didn't seem to be a problem for him.

Liu Nian has been busy opening her shop and looking for side hustles online these past few days. She plans to open a physical flower shop and become a beauty blogger online!

The registration for the flower shop was approved quickly. The shop she rented was near Suzhou University. It was originally a restaurant, but she suddenly rented it to open a flower shop, and it immediately became an eye-catching spot on the street.

When she first started delivering batch after batch of flowers, Liu Nian was overwhelmed with work. But as she was working up a sweat, a girl suddenly approached her and asked if she was hiring part-time workers.

Liu Nian was taken aback. She looked at the girl's pretty face, her cheeks slightly flushed as if she was a little nervous. She was very pleasing to Liu Nian's eye. Originally, she had not thought about hiring an employee. After confirming with the girl how much salary she was willing to accept, the girl said she was fine with anything. Liu Nian thought that she probably just wanted to find a job to pass the time, so she hired her. The salary was 1,500 yuan, since she was a part-time worker and might not come every day.

The girl had no objections; on the contrary, she felt that Liu Nian had given her too much.

Then the two of them carried the flowers back and forth, arranging them beautifully.

After renting the shop, Liu Nian renovated it and added many flower stands.

After finishing up the flower shop, Liu Nian applied for an account online that evening and tried livestreaming for an hour.

Perhaps it was her looks and voice that were so captivating that she instantly attracted a large following of female fans.

The opening was so impressive that it surprised Liu Nian.

Then she started customizing her own. She would livestream for an hour every day, without a fixed time, specifically teaching how to do makeup and how to make it look good.

She doesn't intend to sign with any company as a makeup blogger; it's just a side job she does to pass the time.

She has already given up her previous side hustle and is doing this easier one.

With such a great start to the live stream, it naturally attracted a lot of viewers. In just one week, she became a trending topic because of her appearance and her angelic voice.

If it weren't for the shop assistant she hired seeing the news on her phone while at school and then calling her about it, Liu Nian would have had no idea.

Since it's trending on social media, it's bound to attract a lot of criticism.

When Liu Nian clicked on her own trending topic, she saw many people praising her, as well as many criticizing her and quite a few questioning her.

Some say she uses beauty filters, others say she's had plastic surgery—there are all sorts of opinions.

This is what happens when a tree is tall and catches the wind.

However, Liu Nian ignored it and continued her live stream that night, calmly explaining the steps while applying makeup.

But after the broadcast ended, looking at the message Su Ke sent her, Liu Nian had another plan.

Without even removing her makeup, she grabbed her car keys and headed straight for the bar.

She had to pretend she was very sad and drown her sorrows in alcohol.

Then, after ordering the strongest liquor at the bar, she got drunk without even taking a sip.

Once she's drunk, she'll have a reason to call Su Ke.

Su Ke had just finished showering when he received her call. When he heard her slurring her words, he knew that the woman was drunk again.

Where are you?

Liu Nian didn't reply to him. She continued to wallow in self-pity, saying things like, "I didn't do anything, why are you saying this about me?" Then she would arrogantly say things like, "I'm naturally beautiful, with both intelligence and beauty," and so on.

Su Ke was unaware that she was trending on social media, so he had no idea what she had been through. He was extremely worried that Liu Nian might get into trouble while drinking outside. Listening to the noisy sounds on the other end of the phone, Su Ke immediately determined that she was in a bar.

He didn't want to hang up, but Liu Nian did, and when he called back, no one answered.

Just as he was about to turn off his phone screen, he inadvertently saw a short video posted by a boy in the same department group chat.

Man A: [Holy crap, this woman is gorgeous! I've never seen such a stunning girl before.]

Man B: [Quick, tell me where it is! We're coming over to see for ourselves!]

Man A: [At XX bar, this girl seems drunk.]

Male C: [Bro, the opportunity is right in front of you, what are you waiting for!]

Su Ke just felt that the woman's profile on the video page looked familiar, very much like Liu Nian, so he clicked to watch it. In just a few seconds of video, he recognized her immediately; it really was Liu Nian.

Upon seeing the name of the bar they posted, Su Ke immediately grabbed a short-sleeved shirt and put it on as he walked.

He ran downstairs very quickly. Once outside the dormitory building, he stared at the messages on his phone from the boys, which contained all sorts of suggestive and offensive language, which ignited a surge of anger within him.

I just want to hurry up and take away the fleeting years.

Liu Nian did encounter some trouble at the bar. Several fat, greasy landlords, taking advantage of their money, tried to take advantage of her.
