Chapter 34
Shen Fengni sat on the sofa, picked up the cup in front of her and took two sips.
The sweet taste of rock sugar and snow pear quickly spread from the tip of the tongue, engulfing every corner of the mouth. A warm current rolled through the throat, soothing the throat tired from singing.
At this moment, she was in Zhou Luoying's studio. The two of them had just sung "Chang'an Bright Moon" several times and discussed and polished some details, which took them a whole morning.
Both of them were a little tired, so they decided to take a two-hour break and continue practicing in the afternoon.
Chen Fengni sent a message to Zhezhi, but he didn't reply for a long time. He must be busy with work.
But Zhezhi would always reply as soon as he finished his work, giving her a sense of security. So Shen Fengni didn't care. She picked up a piece of snow pear with a small fork and put it into her mouth, eating while casually scrolling through short videos.
"Yeah, the music festival is on the 10th."
Zhou Luoying, who was sitting opposite her, was using her mobile phone to send a voice message to someone. The beautiful woman smiled charmingly and her voice was very sweet, as if it was soaked in sugar.
"That's right. I can have offline performances thanks to my brother's continuous support. But that dress really doesn't suit me."
"Come if you want, but I have other plans after the show, so I don't have time to treat you to dinner this time."
…
They are all compliments, and sound like they are defending the sponsor's fans.
Shen Fengni had no interest in listening and stared blankly at the round little rabbit ornament on the coffee table.
She seemed to have bought a similar ornament before, but she placed it somewhere...
"What the hell? It's so annoying."
Zhou Luoying's tone changed, and her voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Shen Fengni came back to her senses and asked, "Hmm?"
"Oh sorry, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about one of my fans."
Zhou Luoying pointed to the still-open dialog box on her phone, her tone distressed. "This guy called 'Long Xing Tian Xia' heard I had an offline performance and insisted on buying me a set of his favorite performance clothes to wear on the day of the music festival. He also said he would come to see me."
Chen Fengni laughed, "It's okay actually. If you don't like it, just refuse it."
The situation Zhou Luoying described wasn't uncommon in the livestreaming world; some fans, relying on their high spending, would make bizarre requests of the streamers. Long Xingtianxia's request sounded fairly normal, but Shen Fengni had heard of many more outrageous ones.
"Of course I refused. The clothes he bought me looked like a dragon robe. If you didn't know me, you would think I was going to ascend the throne."
Zhou Luoying lifted her long hair, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl, and took a big bite.
A new voice message popped up in the dialog box on the phone screen. Zhou Luoying glanced at it and clicked play directly without avoiding Shen Fengni.
A rough male voice with an accent immediately filled the room.
"Yingying, if you don't like that one, take a look at this one."
The next image caught my eye: an emerald green shift dress, covered in sequins, like a glowing bamboo.
Zhou Luoying: ...
Shen Fengni: ...
"Brother, I have something else to do, so let's not talk for now."
Zhou Luoying calmly ended the conversation and locked her phone.
Shen Fengni looked at her sympathetically, "What are you going to do?"
If I remember correctly, "Long Xing Tian Xia" is one of Zhou Luoying's biggest customers. There's no mandatory bond between fans and streamers, and relationships can easily fall apart. If not handled properly, it can directly impact livestreaming income.
"You can try to persuade me tonight. I can't wear these ugly clothes anyway."
Zhou Luoying closed the dialog box with a look of disgust on her face and stretched out her slender legs. "If it really doesn't work, then forget it. I won't serve you. Whatever you want, it's fine."
Shen Fengni agreed, "Indeed."
Talented singers like these are primarily about selling their skills, not placing too much emphasis on providing emotional value. It would be ideal to find fans who are both compatible and wealthy, but if they can't, they won't force it. If you constantly compromise yourself to please others for the sake of turnover, you'll quickly become depleted.
"Feng Ni, have you ever met such an inexplicable sponsor fan? Tell me about it."
Zhou Luoying was chewing an apple, her eyes full of gossip.
Shen Fengni thought for a moment and said, "I haven't encountered it yet."
Her account hasn't taken off yet, so there aren't many people in her livestream, which reduces the chances of encountering unusual fans. However, someone who spent a few dozen yuan on gifts sent her a private message asking for a selfie, but she blocked them immediately.
Zhou Luoying sighed, "I really envy you."
Shen Fengni said: "Maybe it's just luck."
Currently, the only person who could be considered a financial sponsor in her livestreaming room was Zhezhi. Looking at the entire platform, Zhezhi's current spending wasn't particularly high, but it was enough to support Shen Fengni's normal life.
Zhezhi is perfect, impeccable both as a fan and as a friend.
She believed this from the beginning to the end.
Shen Fengni curled her lips slightly, in a good mood.
"Who were you thinking about just now? Tell me the truth."
Zhou Luoying suddenly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Shen Fengni was confused, "Huh?"
"Seeing you suddenly smile so sweetly, you must be thinking of someone, right?"
Zhou Luoying blinked, a sly "I understand" look on her face. "Let me guess, is it a fan of a wealthy sponsor who I get along with very well?"
Shen Fengni was stunned for two seconds, "Did I laugh just now?"
"You're just laughing, but you don't know it yourself." Zhou Luoying fell back exaggeratedly, "Chen Fengni, you're done. Do you like me?"
Her cheeks began to heat up. Although she couldn't see it, Shen Fengni felt that her face must be red.
She pretended to be calm and denied, "Don't talk nonsense, I just thought of something funny."
"You're the best." Zhou Luoying said with a smile. She threw the apple core in her hand into the trash can and wiped her fingers with a wet wipe.
She leaned in closer, her tone more serious. "But I have to warn you, those spending tycoons in the livestreaming room have no shortage of women. No matter how good the relationship is, they're still just netizens. How can they compare to the people around you? Don't really get sucked in."
Chen Fengni's mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly remembered the person that Zhezhi in his previous life had mentioned, the person he loved but could not have.
A sour feeling suddenly surged up, enveloping the heart completely.
She smiled nonchalantly, "I know."
***
Shen Fengni pushed open the door, and a brand new game cabin appeared before her.
The game cabin in Jiang Zhuoyan's house is ice blue, and the backlight shines brightly, like a flowing galaxy rolling across the metal shell, which is very beautiful.
Just from the appearance, it is much more luxurious than the previous one.
When I have some savings, I will buy a better device.
Shen Fengni lay on the comfortable bed in the cabin, thinking secretly.
The game world unfolded before her eyes like a scroll, brilliant colors filling her vision, and she saw the familiar and beautiful world.
Zhezhi provided her with the same game account named "Zhehua" this time. It showed a high-spirited female warrior in red, with a pair of unruly eyes. Her long hair was tied up high, fluttering in the biting wind.
The equipment is of top quality, and the list of external equipment is densely packed, following the progress of the mall update.
At a certain moment, Shen Fengni suddenly had an illusion.
It seemed as if Zhehua had been staying here all this time, just waiting for her to return.
She looked at the mirror on the login screen and smiled softly at the woman in red inside. "Long time no see."
The ancient city is still the same as I remember, prosperous and bustling as before.
In the bright sunshine, Chen Fengni walked through the bustling crowd and headed towards the place where she had agreed to meet Zhezhi.
Just as she expected, Zhezhi was already waiting there. The woman in white, veiled in white, with familiar eyes and a smile, made her feel warm and familiar.
Shen Fengni walked over quickly and stopped in front of Zhezhi.
The person she was thinking about was right in front of her, but Shen Fengni couldn't say a word, as if she had aphasia. She could only stand there and smile at the other person.
She must look very silly at this moment, but it was really hard for her to hide her inner happiness.
Shen Fengni thought in annoyance.
Just as her brain started to work again and she was thinking about how to greet the old friend she had met after a long time naturally, the light and shadow in front of her eyes suddenly flashed.
Zhezhi moved closer and hugged her gently.
Shen Fengni's eyes suddenly widened.
My body seemed to be out of control and I didn't know where to put my hands and feet.
The feeling of being pounded was like a tide, coming with great force and engulfing her in an instant.
After a brief hesitation, Chen Fengni raised her hand and tried to put it around Zhezhi's waist.
Although she knew very well that the person she was holding was just a character model and everything in front of her was just illusory data, Shen Fengni's heart was still beating wildly, and her cheeks began to turn red.
"Feng Ni." Zhezhi's voice rang softly beside his ear. "Did I scare you?"
Her fevered face grew even hotter, and Shen Fengni pursed her lips gently, "No."
Her chin rested on Zhezhi's shoulder. Across from them was the bustling mission area. The two of them stood in the busy city, hugging each other as if no one was around.
Jianghu Nuo has a high degree of freedom, and players can have many close interactions.
If the behavior is too extreme, or if you make impolite gestures towards others without authorization, your account will be permanently blocked after verification.
In his previous life, Zhezhi had never done anything similar to Shen Fengni. The most intimate thing they did was just holding hands, and that was often when the task required it.
Why did Zhezhi...
Chen Fengni was puzzled, but she found that she was not opposed to it.
Even excited.
Even if it was just a fake game model, she would feel warm as long as she thought that the person behind it was Zhezhi.
Figures swayed as other players chatted and laughed as they passed by the two people hugging each other, and the sound of good-natured teasing carried into their ears on the wind.
"What are you doing? The whole country is watching."
"No abuse of dogs allowed anywhere. Report it."
"I just want to take a mission. Show me this?"
…
Shen Fengni felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhezhi was silent for two seconds. "Nothing, I just really wanted to see you."
Shen Fengni's mind went blank for a moment, and he blurted out, "Me too."
Zhezhi released the person in his arms, his eyes gentle, "Can I date you more often in the future?"
Shen Fengni: "Of course."
Zhezhi chuckled, "Okay."
Shen Fengni looked at that smile, and suddenly Zhou Luoying's words from the daytime echoed in her mind.
"You don't like me, do you?"
"The consumer tycoons in the live broadcast room have no shortage of women."
"No matter how good our relationship is, we're still just online friends. How can it compare to the people around you? Don't get too caught up in it."
It seems too late.
She thought.
