Chapter 5 She actually cared about him so much...
Gong Huai, who had no classes in the afternoon, returned to the car in shock. He sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with his left hand and supporting his forehead with his right hand.
After a while, Gong Huai stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Gong Huai admitted that he had never been in a relationship. But he was also 100% sure that he had never had any physical reaction to any man.
——The evil Ning Zhiran first scolded him in every possible way, and then deliberately tried to attract his attention.
She took his money but refused to buy the Upass. She acted sweet and gentle at school, but behind his back, she was a straight man, engaging in these unspeakable little schemes?
Gong Huai squeezed the steering wheel.
Humph, you really don't know how to appreciate my kindness.
…
Ning Zhiran was studying in the library and sneezed all afternoon.
I don't think I have a cold, do I?
I can't get sick. Doctors here are too expensive, and all the doctors are quacks.
With this idea in mind, Ning Zhiran drove home as soon as he finished writing his paper.
About an hour later, Ning Zhiran returned home sneezing. The first thing she did when she got home was to boil a pot of hot water for herself.
Ning Zhiran lives in the suburbs. He moved here last month after his family defaulted on their mortgage. The rent is cheap, but the house is small, old, and unfurnished.
He wanted to save money, so all he bought were IKEA furniture that others had discarded.
The traces of poverty are evident here.
But Ning Zhiran has his magic.
He had bought some colored clay at the nearest Dollar Store.
There's a cluster of tiny orange blossoms he pinched by hand on the corner of the dining table, a blue moon affixed to the foot of the TV, and each leg of a secondhand IKEA coffee table is covered in polka dots of a different color, like a colorful sweater on the furniture. Just by doing this, the old apartment seems to come alive.
The kettle was still gurgling, and Ning Zhiran took out a carrot from the refrigerator.
He washed it clean in a few seconds and cut it into neat thin strips on the chopping board with a "dong dong dong" sound.
After cutting the carrots, Ning Zhiran took out a box of yellow bell peppers and celery that he had bought at a 10% discount from the refrigerator, broke off half of it, and cut it into strips. He also cut two softened avocados as the main dish, squeezed some black pepper, and finally squeezed some of his favorite Ranch sauce on the side of the plate.
Hey, delicious white rice, done!
The boiled water was almost cold. Ning Zhiran took the white rice and hot water and sat down at the small table.
Take a bite of carrot strips and a sip of hot water, and your mouth will be filled with sweetness.
Ning Zhiran has loved carrots since she was a child. They're sweet, crunchy, and nutritious. Dipping these crunchy, sweet carrots in white sauce is a comforting experience. Her nose stops itching, and she stops sneezing.
It’s great that I’m not sick. I save some money on medical treatment.
Ning Zhiran remembered that when he first came to W City, he had a high fever and went to see a doctor, but the doctor didn't prescribe any medicine and just told him to go home and buy some ice cream to cool down.
From then on, Ning Zhiran realized that the consultation fee was too expensive, and that her life and death were determined by fate, so she couldn't trust the doctor.
Now that crucial paper at hand had been finished in the library during the day, Ning Zhiran thought that it would be better to start the broadcast earlier today and get more gifts.
Will G come today?
Yes, yes!
Ning Zhiran immediately became energized when she thought of the mysterious, generous and kind Sister G. She quickly grabbed her phone and headset, connected them, and started today's live broadcast.
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Ningning's livestream. We're starting early today. Is there any song you'd like to hear?"
As soon as the voice fell, the barrage of comments came up one after another.
[Ahhh, honey, I'm so happy!]
[Ningning's voice is so sweet! What are you singing today?]
[Husband, look at me!]
Ning Zhiran flipped through the avatars of online users, searching for G. In this "Yesheng" app, only women who have spent a certain amount of money are eligible to have the right to chat privately with the anchor.
But he didn't know that the top sister on the list that he had been thinking about was once again in a state of mental exhaustion after receiving the broadcast notification from the anchor "Ningning".
Gong Huai was hesitating. Click in? Or not?
If Ning Zhiran really was deliberately trying to grab his parking space and scold him to attract his attention... then if he clicked on it now, wouldn't he be a fool who took the bait?
But……
Gong Huai thought back to the words Ning Zhiran had scolded him. "Palace dog," "pretender," every word hummed in Gong Huai's ears.
This account has not been settled yet.
He must be taught a lesson.
With this thought, Gong Huai's eyes became sharp again. He turned on the screen recording on his phone and clicked into the live broadcast room.
The account G had given Ning Zhiran four Huazis, so as soon as it entered the live broadcast room, it already had a gorgeous entrance effect.
Ning Zhiran's eyes lit up when she saw the exaggerated special effects: "Welcome G Bao, welcome, welcome, you are so punctual."
"You were there as soon as I started broadcasting. Thank you G Bao for your special attention and concern!"
After saying this, Ning Zhiran deliberately paused and waited for the other party to respond.
As a result, the live broadcast room was quiet for a while.
[G: I don’t pay much attention to you.]
Ning Zhiran felt happy.
Well, the eldest sister on this list is also a tsundere.
Ning Zhiran had his own ways of dealing with tsunderes: "I know, I know, G Bao. Boss, you just happened to pass by, right? You just happened to click in, and you just happened to give me a gift. It's all fate, fate, I'm so grateful."
"Since fate has brought you here again today, is there any song you'd like to hear, Boss?"
Gong Huai was very happy with the stairs. However, Gong Huai did not want to listen to the song. He just wanted to ask Ning Zhiran why she did not use his money to buy Upass.
But he couldn't ask that question. If he did, he'd risk exposing his identity. It wouldn't be worth it, and it would be demeaning. He had to pretend to be a bystander, continue the show, and wait for an opportunity to turn the tables.
[G: I don't want to listen. If your voice isn't in good condition, just rest. There's no need to force yourself.]
Ning Zhiran was startled. He'd been sneezing all afternoon, and his throat was a little hoarse. G... G even heard that?
She actually cares about him so much...
Ning Zhiran was deeply moved: "Thank you G Bao for your concern, but I'm fine. I volunteered to sing, and it was my own choice to start the broadcast. Since I chose to be a broadcaster as a career, I have to take this job seriously."
"This is my job. I can't just say I'm not feeling well today and not go to work. That would be too unfair to the people who like me, and even more unfair to the carnival you gave me, boss."
[Oi, it sounds a bit passionate]
[The host is right, dedicated]
[Ningning is so cool, Ningning is the best!]
Gong Huai looked at the comments and leaned back in his chair. He agreed with Ning Zhiran's seemingly casual words.
This little guy with rabbit teeth has a surprisingly positive work attitude towards live streaming.
[G: You mentioned before that you're an international student. Since you can study abroad, you shouldn't be short of money. Why do you work so hard?]
Gong Huai was looking forward to the answer.
Ning Zhiran grinned: "G baby, this question is too personal. If you really want to know, send me a hot air balloon, and I will tell you in a private message after the broadcast."
Gong Huai: “…”
This cunning little rabbit tooth.
The good impression that had just risen disappeared in an instant. Gong Huai looked at the green dot on the screen, confirming that every word of Ning Zhiran was recorded on his phone.
However, Gong Huai was indeed curious about the real reason behind Ning Zhiran's efforts.
He decided to give Little Rabbit Tooth a hot air balloon.
Gong Huai opened the gift column and saw that the hot air balloon gift was only 52 yuan each.
This is just a cheap gift worth 52 yuan. If people knew about it, how many people would laugh at it?
It's ridiculous.
Gong Huai slid his finger down and saw that there were many gifts with special effects under the hot air balloon. He ordered the "Rose Planet" which was ten times the price of the hot air balloon and gave it away.
[System prompt: Distinguished user G has gifted anchor Ning Ning a "Rose Planet" x1]
The special effects in the live broadcast room instantly filled the entire screen, and a huge planet rose into the sky, revolving around the pink rose.
[The boss is confused]
[Holy crap, these special effects are pretty cool!]
[A gift for 520 yuan! Yo yo yo]
Ning Zhiran was also a little confused. He had just asked for a hot air balloon, so why did G specifically choose such an ambiguous gift?
I guess she really wanted to ask him to chat with her.
Ning Zhiran quickly switched to the backstage and quickly followed G, saying, "Thank you, Boss G, for the Rose Planet... Ah, this gift is so romantic, I didn't expect you to give me this."
"Actually, I just wanted a hot air balloon, but you gave me an entire planet. I've followed you, and don't worry, I'll definitely send you a private message after the show ends."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh: "I will definitely do what I promised. After all, I am a person of integrity, especially to the number one on the list."
Gong Huai stared at the line that said [You have been followed by the anchor], and slowly sat up straighter from leaning on the back of the chair.
I gave him a carnival before, but he didn't pay attention to me. A mere 520 yuan gift, and he paid attention to me?
...This is clearly an attempt to lure the enemy deeper into our territory.
It's just a trick to trick him into paying more money.
Gong Huai didn't want to be disrupted by this low-level trick of rewarding for attention, and he didn't want to fall into Xiao Tu Ya's trap.
[G: Then tell me after you get off the air.]
Afraid that Ning Zhiran would forget, Gong Huai added in a particularly unpleasant tone:
[G: I'll wait for you.]
After typing this line of words, Gong Huai exited the live broadcast room in a leisurely manner.
Although he said he had quit, he didn't quit completely. He just returned to the preview window of the live broadcast room and continued to stare at Ning Zhiran's live broadcast room.
Knowing every move of the enemy is a necessary measure.
However, he didn't want Ning Zhiran to be too proud, and he didn't want Ning Zhiran to know that he was still watching.
Ning Zhiran felt a little disappointed when she saw G leave. He only earned a 500-yuan planet today and then ran away? He didn't want to earn more?
He subconsciously flipped through the online list of the live broadcast room twice to confirm that G was really gone. Just as he was distracted, two sports cars suddenly floated out of the barrage area.
[User "Sweet Cream Ball" gave away a sports car × 1]
[User "Yogurt Cool Head" gave away a sports car × 1]
[Ningning, let me request a song! I want to listen to the song from yesterday!]
[Husband, please sing me a song to sleep~]
[Sing, sing!]
Ning Zhiran immediately switched to business mode: "Okay, okay, thank you both bosses, I'll arrange it right away."
He sang two songs in a row, but until he finished singing, no one continued to give gifts.
Today, the fans’ ability to spend money is not very good.
It's time to stimulate consumption.
Ning Zhiran pointed his finger and opened PK.
The so-called PK is a specially designed part of the platform designed for "Krypton Gold Competition". The system will randomly match a rival voice anchor with another one. The two sides will see who receives the most gifts within a specified time. Whoever wins.
The system quickly matched, and the screen split in two. Ning Zhiran's profile picture was on the left, and a similarly faceless anchor appeared on the right.
The other party’s ID is: Wild Leopard Brother.
Ning Zhiran cleared his throat: "Hello, Brother Bao, how do you want to play? If you lose, what punishment will we give you?"
Wild Leopard Brother: "Then follow my rules."
"The loser gets scolded for a full minute by the winner. Every time he's scolded, he has to follow up with 'Brother, you're so right! I love hearing that.' Is that okay?"
After listening to this, Ning Zhiran felt a sense of awkwardness and tackyness.
It's so vulgar.
But he also knew that people who made a living by their voice had no right to pick on the rules.
Ning Zhiran nodded in agreement: "Okay, then it's settled."
After the two of them finished speaking, they turned off the sound of each other's live broadcast and entered the official PK session. They each began to set the pace and let their fans rush to the top of the list.
The three-minute countdown begins.
Brother Leopard is obviously very familiar with this kind of PK and has a way of mobilizing fans' emotions. The gifts are popping up like chicken blood.
Ning Zhiran tried his best to cheer for the fans, and although there were fans here, most of them were little hearts and little stars, which was really a drop in the bucket.
As the three-minute PK time limit passed by, the gap between Ning Zhiran and Brother Bao became wider and wider.
...Is it really necessary to force myself to say, "Brother, you're right, brother," even after being scolded in front of so many people?
Absolutely not.
Coincidentally, Gong Huai thought so too.
The little rabbit tooth that scolded him every day was now being scolded by others, and he had to coax others and call them brother?
If Xiao Tu Ya is scolded by such a person, then what about him who is scolded by Xiao Tu Ya every day?
This is simply an insult to him, Gong Huai.
The PK time was about to end. After he confirmed that no one would give Ning Zhiran expensive gifts, Gong Huai no longer hid it. He returned to Ning Zhiran's live broadcast room, opened the gift panel, and clicked it decisively.
【G Giveaway Carnival × 1】
【G Giveaway Carnival × 1】
【G Giveaway Carnival × 1】
Ning Zhiran easily received more gifts than Wild Leopard Brother.
Before Ning Zhiran could react, the system countdown ended directly -
[Winner of this round: Ning Ning]
Ning Zhiran: OO! ! !
Seeing that Ning Zhiran didn't have to be scolded, Gong Huai stared at the special effects on the screen expressionlessly and nodded.
In order to warn Ning Zhiran, and also because he didn't want to waste time and money on such meaningless things, Gong Huai started typing again:
[G: Don’t assign random punishments next time.]
Ning Zhiran was so moved that before she could say anything——
[G: After the broadcast, remember to send me a private message.]
