52 Chapter 52
◎Invitation from the Global Live Streaming Alliance◎
The process was quite tedious and took two hours at the cemetery.
The flames burned the black coffin and thick smoke drifted into the sky.
Everyone stood by the deep pit, looking at the yellow paper engulfed by the flames, feeling inexplicably heavy-hearted.
When the flames died down, only a pile of ash remained in the pit.
Rain finally began to fall from the dark cloudy sky. Song Yunli looked up in a daze, and his memory was brought back to that day twenty-three years ago.
He smashed the glass and looked at the same sky through the broken window.
At that time, he was curious and scared.
Those people were wearing black clothes and holding black umbrellas. They stood quietly in the rain, like tombstones standing on the ground, surrounding the mother who was holding her younger brother in her arms.
The sound of the rain blocked out their conversation, and Song Yunli could only hear his mother crying.
When the mother walked into the rain and fog, no one held an umbrella for her.
She shrugged her thin shoulders, hugged her brother tightly in her arms, and followed those people away.
When she was about to walk out of his sight, she suddenly turned around, the rain running down her cheeks. She looked at Song Yunli, forced a smile, and her lips moved as if she was saying something.
Song Yunli didn't see clearly, but he knew what his mother was saying.
Because every time she was taken away and Song Yunli was about to be left alone in that house, she would tell him: "I will be back."
This time is no exception.
The mother finally came back and returned to his side.
It's just a few days later than before.
"Leave."
Qianyang turned around and held his hand, just as he did when he came.
The dense rain seemed to form a furry coat on everyone. Song Yunli followed her silently, and the only warmth he could feel was where her skin touched.
"From now on, I will have no job." Song Yunli said without warning.
Qian Yang looked back at him and said, "I have money."
"I don't have to do anything?"
"Um."
Qian Yang said: "You can also do what you really want to do."
Song Yunli lowered his head, "...Okay."
The rain was getting heavier, and Qianyang and his group stayed in the old house for one night.
After washing up, Qianyang went to Song Yunli's room alone.
The door was open and Song Yunli was sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe, holding a photo frame in his hand.
There is a painting in the frame, probably a painting of his mother and brother from his memory.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Song Yunli put the photo frame back and turned to look at Qianyang.
Song Yunli's green bathrobe was very loose, exposing most of his chest. His waist was tied with a belt, covering his lower body.
As he turned around, the collar of his bathrobe opened wider, revealing his bulging chest muscles.
Qianyang glanced at him unconsciously, then immediately restrained herself. The other person was probably sad at the moment, and it was not the time for her to appreciate the collection.
Song Yunli glanced at the evasive expression on her face, lowered his gaze, leaned forward a little, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Qianyang nodded, "I came to see you."
Song Yunli has very fair skin, which is not visible even when he is wearing clothes. His muscles are full and well-proportioned, and there is a small black mole in the middle of his collarbone, which rises and falls with his breath, which is very...sexy.
Song Yunli moved a little to the side and motioned for her to sit over.
As the saying goes, food and sex are human nature.
Although Qian Yang didn't think of himself as a lustful person before, seeing Song Yunli reveal this side of him so unguardedly, Qian Yang had to use a lot of willpower to stop himself from looking at him.
At other times, Song Yunli would have been her life-size figurine, so she could look at him whenever she wanted. But now, she felt that Song Yunli's mood was more important.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Song Yunli realized her purpose.
"Ah?...Oh." Qianyang sat down beside him, his eyes a little dazed.
As they got closer, Qianyang smelled the unique scent of male hormones and shower gel on him, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"you……"
"I don't."
As soon as the other person opened his mouth, Qianyang confessed.
Song Yunli raised his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head, and the outline of his abdominal muscles was faintly visible. "What?"
"Aren't you... sad?" Qian Yang asked.
Song Yunli raised his eyes. The moisture from the ends of his hair dampened his bathrobe, revealing some of his skin texture. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sad."
Seeing Qianyang's puzzled expression, Song Yunli continued, "I'm just thinking about a question."
"For the past twenty-three years, either they refused to leave, or I refused to let them leave."
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
Song Yunli wasn't one for melancholy. Rescued by Xu Qiaofeng at the age of twelve, he became the head of the Song Group in his twenties. Over the years, he must have experienced many ups and downs and intrigues; he wasn't just a vase to be collected.
If his methods were not ruthless enough, he might not have survived this day.
"What's next? What are you going to do?" Qian Yang asked.
Song Yunli said, "The Song family still has some matters to deal with. Besides that, I personally have several companies and assets under my name, which I plan to hand over to Fang Lie's father for management."
Qianyang nodded and said, "Okay."
"Also, since I've agreed to your terms, I will stay by your side from now on until the day you no longer need me, and all my assets can be transferred to your name."
Qian Yang thought for a few seconds and said, "No, keep it for yourself."
"That's good too. If someone comes along to replace me in the future, I'll still be able to survive on my own."
Hearing this, Qianyang frowned and said, "You can't survive on your own. You will die if you leave me."
"But someone will take my place."
Qianyang shook his head, "I won't let you die."
"So... I should be the only one?"
"certainly."
Qianyang naturally thought so.
Qianyang naturally knew that there must be someone in the world more beautiful than Song Yunli, but she would not collect everything.
Song Yunli raised his eyes and looked at her directly, "Do you Xuanmen disciples value your promises?"
Qian Yang said: "Of course, we, the disciples of the Qian family, always keep our word."
"That's good."
The next day, the group returned to Song Yunli's manor, and he also moved back.
However, he has a lot of things to deal with recently, and he often goes out early and comes back late.
It was almost time for Yang Wei to report to Capital University. Qian Yang and his group sent her to school and prepared the things she needed for school. After staying in the capital for two nights, it was time for Xie Yan and Shun Yi to return.
That day, Qian Yang and his friends arrived at the airport early.
【Hehe, Shunyi is finally coming back. 】
【expect! ! ! 】
[Baby Shunyi will grow up healthy and well with his new owner! ]
[Sister Xie Yan has recovered and received a good script.]
Great!
Shortly after the plane arrived, Xie Yan came out pulling a suitcase and leading Shunyi, who was wearing black fur.
In addition to Xie Yan, there were several other passengers who checked in their pets. Shunyi walked in the middle with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking majestic, while the other pets all tucked their tails between their legs.
"Sister Xie Yan!" Yang Wei shouted from the waiting area.
Xie Yan immediately walked around the fence and came towards them.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of almond-shaped eyes. She put down her luggage and extended a hand towards Qianyang, "Master Qianyang, hello."
"Hello."
Qianyang held her hand and then went to see his new pet.
The injured parts of Shunyi's body have been covered by thick hair, and only a scar on his nose is clearly visible.
【Shun Yi has grown a lot stronger! 】
[Sister Xie Yan has gained some weight as well.]
[This guy seems a little afraid of Qianyang. ]
[Hehehe, Qianyang's little family has a new member. 】
[Hello Shunyi, I am your beautiful EE. ]
"Let's go and eat something first."
After receiving Shunyi, they did not stay in the capital for too long and returned to Taihang City the next day.
Shunyi was indeed a little afraid of Qianyang. She would tuck her tail between her legs when she saw her, which made Qianyang very depressed.
However, after returning to the manor, Song Yunli happened to be at home. As soon as it saw Song Yunli, it became furious and hid behind Qianyang.
Even after sending his mother and brother away, the strong negative energy around him did not dissipate.
In the evening, Fang Lie came to visit unexpectedly.
"Cousin!" Fang Lie shouted from a distance.
Song Yunli frowned and glanced at him, "Speak softly."
"Oh..." Fang Lie glanced into the room, "Where's Master Qianyang? I have something to talk to her about."
Song Yunli said: "In the backyard."
With such a large lawn, Qianyang doesn't like to stay in the room, so he always broadcasts live outside.
She connected with several recent college graduates.
"Master Qianyang, please help us take a look at this house." said the boy.
Qianyang asked, "What's wrong?"
The boy said, "We've moved in two months ago, and the house always feels eerie. We also hear dripping water in the bathroom in the middle of the night, but all the faucets are working. And, we found some strange things in the house!"
"What?"
The boy stood up and walked to the closet, opened the door on one side, and the things inside were messy, revealing the inner wall.
"Master, look here, does it look like a talisman?"
Qianyang took a look and said, "Yeah."
"Besides that?"
"We found a bunch of rocks arranged in strange shapes under the bed, and some hay. We don't know what they were used for, but it was really creepy."
Qian Yang understood and said, "It's okay."
The boy's face lit up with joy. "Are you really okay? That's great. The rent here is cheap. If nothing goes wrong, we can continue living here."
Hearing this, Qian Yang paused and asked, "How cheap?"
"A three-bedroom apartment costs only 1,200 yuan! The location is great and the decoration is nice too. We got a great bargain," the boy said happily.
【???】
[Hey buddy, do you have a three-bedroom apartment this cheap?]
[Good location, nice decoration, you dare to rent it for 1200 yuan? ]
【There's nothing wrong with this place. I eat shit. 】
[Absolutely impossible. There aren't any houses this cheap in my hometown.]
[Unless the landlord likes you, I don’t believe it. ]
The boy curled his lips and said, "Master Qianyang said there's no problem."
Qian Yang said: "I mean there is no problem now."
The boy was stunned for a moment, "Will there be problems in the future?"
"Won't."
"That……"
Qian Yang said, "There was a problem here before."
Boy: “???”
"About three months ago, a girl had a heart attack and died in a closet." Qian Yang said calmly, "The things you found were just a way to exorcise evil spirits, but the girl's soul has long since passed away."
The boy's face froze. "Just die in the closet?"
"Well, don't worry, continuing to live here will not affect you."
Hearing this, one of the boys asked, "Master Qianyang, that girl has already passed away. How did you know she died in the closet?"
Qianyang glanced towards the bathroom and said, "The baby spirit in the sewer told me."
Boy: “?”
【???】
【who? ? ? 】
"Ah? Say it again?"
[What the hell?]
【The familiar creepiness is back! 】
"Master, didn't you say there was no problem?" the boy said tremblingly.
Qian Yang said, "It's trapped in the sewers and can't affect you. However, if you don't want to hear the dripping sound at night, you should call the police to remove its remains and bury it properly."
"Master, where is it?"
"Between the seventh and eighth floors."
"Okay! We'll call the police immediately."
After ending the connection, Qianyang shouted into the distance, and Shunyi ran back like a black panther.
Then, as if it sensed something, it huddled at Qianyang's feet, lying on the ground with its ears drooping.
Seeing it like this, Qianyang immediately knew that Song Yunli had arrived.
"Master Qianyang!"
Sure enough, a voice came from behind.
Qianyang turned around and saw Song Yunli and Fang Lie walking towards him one after another.
[Hiss! Hiss! Little Song is here?]
[I hate it! After all this time, I only saw half of his face. Qianyang is so stingy!]
[But half of his face is so handsome. 】
What is the relationship between Xiao Song and Qian Yang? Even the eldest brother couldn't explain it.
[Ahhh, never mind, I'll kowtow to all the handsome men and beautiful women first! ]
…
[Boss? The boss is here too?]
Fang Lie walked in front of the camera and said speechlessly, "Please, I was the one talking just now. My cousin didn't say a word. How did you know he was here?"
【Just look at Shunyi and Qianyang's reactions and you'll know.】
[If nothing else, Qianyang definitely has a physical crush on your cousin. Every time he sees him, his eyes almost glued to him.]
Fang Lie laughed foolishly and was about to make a joke when he suddenly felt a cold and gloomy gaze falling on him.
He knew who it was without turning around, and quickly suppressed his smile, "Stop talking nonsense."
He winked at the camera, indicating that his cousin was still watching.
[Boss, where have you been making money lately? I haven't seen you out in a while.]
[Yes, there is no activity on the social media accounts either.]
Speaking of this, Fang Lie's eyes immediately lit up.
"To be honest, I am indeed planning a big project recently."
Qian Yang and Song Yunli sat aside, looking at him in confusion.
"Xiang Li and I decided to invest in a project to produce banana peeling tools."
"Xiang Li?" Qianyang felt that the name sounded familiar.
Song Yunli reminded: "The person who followed you in the antique market before."
"oh……"
【Xiang Li? 】
[The one who invests by scanning the QR code and making a phone call? ]
[Is that the one you two were deceived with? ]
[I'm curious, what are you guys planning to do this time?]
Fang Lie said: "Don't worry, this is definitely a serious project."
"Don't you think peeling bananas is a hassle? This tool we invested in is specially designed for bananas. Just put the banana on it, and the blade will remove the skin from top to bottom. You can just hold it in your hands and eat it directly."
“Isn’t it very convenient?”
Qianyang's mouth twitched, and even Shunyi, who was lying at her feet, looked shocked.
Sweet, beet.
[Awesome! So awesome!]
【As expected of you two. 】
[Not only does it save time, but it also successfully solves the problem of eating bananas without getting your hands dirty.]
Please, give up the idea of starting a business and just stay home and live off your parents.
【For the first time, I saw shock on a dog’s face.】
Even Dogs Think It's Outrageous
Fang Lie was unconvinced and said, "Why can't I start my own business? Don't forget who the boss of the Qingning platform is."
【？ 】
[You have no idea, right?]
[What else do you do besides playing games in the office? ]
[Master Qingtang, how can someone whose startup capital and office address were all supported by his cousin have the nerve to say that he's a successful entrepreneur?]
[Fake boss: Fang Fang Lielie; real boss: cousin, Qian Yang.]
"Cousin, is my project not good?" Fang Lie placed his last hope on Song Yunli.
Song Yunli glanced at him and said, "Rotten."
【Hahaha! 】
Did you hear that?
【It’s rotten! 】
"But if you want to play, you can try it."
【？ 】
[Cousin, you are confused! ]
【I'm going to fight you rich people! 】
Fang Lie snorted coldly, "Forget it then."
Fang Lie is quite obedient. He usually won't do anything that Song Yunli doesn't support.
"What do you want from Qianyang?"
At this time, Song Yunli brought the topic back on track.
"Oh, yes." Fang Lie finally remembered the reason for his visit and looked at Qian Yang. "There's an international live broadcast alliance. They seem to be organizing some global events recently and have invited some domestic live broadcasters. The event will be held in Taihang City."
"Many anchors from other platforms have received invitations. Master Qianyang, you are among them."
"I brought you the invitation."
Fang Lie took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Qian Yang, "The event will be held on the 12th floor of Dove Plaza."
Qian Yang took the envelope and asked, "What is the Global Live Streaming Alliance?"
Fang Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It sounds amazing."
Song Yunli said, "A few years ago, the live streaming industry took off. In order to boost the popularity of live streamers and expand into foreign markets, European and American investors established a global live streaming platform, also known as the Global Live Streaming Alliance."
"However, they haven't made any major moves before. We won't know what they are going to do until we get there."
Fang Lie said: "Anyway, this is a great opportunity, and all the hosts who have received invitations will participate."
[Have domestic anchors also received invitations? ]
[Some foreign streamers I follow have also received invitations from the Global Live Streaming Alliance.]
What is this for?
The Global Live Streaming Alliance has been established for several years. Perhaps streamers will be the first to access this platform?
【Maybe viewers around the world will be able to watch Qianyang’s live broadcast in the future! 】
【Let them feel the mysterious power of the East! 】
Qianyang thought it was okay to go and take a look, so he agreed without thinking too much.
The event is held in just one week.
In addition to Qianyang and Daliu, Xiao Sangyue and Ye Zi, who had been connected with her before, were also invited.
As the event time approached, Ye Zi and other anchors also rushed to Taihang City.
Qianyang was invited to have dinner with them. The people going this time were all anchors, and she didn't plan to bring anyone else with her and went alone.
Before leaving, Song Yunli stood at the door and asked her, "When will you be back?"
Qianyang turned around to look at him. Song Yunli was standing under the porch with a lukewarm expression.
"I don't know." Qian Yang said, turned around and was about to leave.
Song Yunli was stunned for a moment. Yang Mao walked up to him, winked at him, and whispered, "You can't ask like that. Master won't buy it."
Song Yunli narrowed his eyes and did not respond.
Yang Mao stepped forward and said, "Master, today is finally a day off, I want to spend more time with you."
"I wonder when you'll be back?"
Qianyang thought about it. Xiao Sangyue and the others said they were going to KTV in the afternoon and they didn't know when it would end. "I'll try to be back before dinner."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back, Master."
"Um."
After saying that, Qianyang left.
Watching Qianyang walk away, Song Yunli lowered his eyes with a thoughtful expression.
Yang Mao said proudly, "See? This is how you talk to your master. Otherwise, she wouldn't think so much."
Song Yunli still didn't respond. He nodded slightly at him and returned to his room.
In the evening, Qianyang declined other people's invitations to have dinner together and returned home before dinner time.
"Master, you're back?" Yang Mao greeted her at the door with a smile. "Dinner is ready."
"Um."
Qianyang looked around the room and found only Sang Chen sitting on the sofa reading a book, and Song Yunli was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Song Yunli?"
"I don't know. He hasn't come out all day."
Qianyang nodded, "Then I'll go take a look."
"Okay, let's ask him to come down for dinner."
"Um."
Qianyang walked up the stairs and came to the second floor.
“Dongdong——”
She raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, calling out, "Song Yunli, dinner is ready."
A moment later, the door was opened from the inside.
Song Yunli stood behind the door, holding a pair of scissors in his hand, "You guys eat first, I have something else to do."
"What's wrong?" Qianyang looked at the scissors in his hand and asked puzzledly.
Song Yunli lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I was thinking about cutting my hair shorter, but... you seem to like long hair better?"
Song Yunli doesn't look feminine with her long hair, but instead has a unique artistic conception, like a hazy landscape ink painting. Qianyang really likes this.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Song Yunli put down the scissors and said, "Forget it, as long as you like it."
Qianyang took the scissors from his hand, looked at his long hair hanging on his shoulders, gently twisted a strand, and said, "Do you want to cut it off? I'll help you."
Song Yunli raised his eyelashes slightly, with a hint of temptation, "You don't like it?"
Qian Yang said, "I like it, but if you want it shorter, then go ahead."
Song Yunli raised his eyes and looked at her, then suddenly grasped the scissors and her fingers at the same time.
His palms were broad and his fingers were long. His fingertips brushed against Qianyang's knuckles. He took the scissors back and said, "Forget it, let's go downstairs and eat."
Qianyang looked puzzled. Song Yunli turned around, put the scissors on the table, and walked out of the room.
"I heard from Yang Mao that you didn't go out much today?" Qian Yang asked.
Song Yunli said, "I was afraid of disturbing them, so I stayed alone."
"It's just a little boring sometimes, but that's okay."
Qian Yang walked beside him and said thoughtfully: "I won't bother you. My apprentice is easy to get along with. You don't have to worry too much."
"Yeah." Song Yunli tilted his head and smiled, "Did you have fun today?"
Song Yunli's face showed little emotion, and it was rare for him to smile. Qianyang couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
If you think about it carefully, Song Yunli doesn't have many close friends around him, and he may not be used to living with them. He can feel more relaxed when Qianyang is around, but when Qianyang is not around, he can only be alone.
Qian Yang took his hand that was hanging by his side and said, "What do you want to do tonight? I'll accompany you."
Song Yunli held the back of her hand, which surprised Qianyang. Song Yunli never shook her hand back before!
"The greenhouse seems to need some cleaning."
"Okay, let's go to the greenhouse."
Song Yunli lowered his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the two people coming down from the upstairs hand in hand, Yang Mao couldn't help but be amazed.
When he heard Qian Yang's gentle voice inviting him to go to the greenhouse together, he secretly sighed that this person's methods were so amazing!
