Chapter 76 The Rules Are Not Human
Pu Xi informed the users who were selected to vote in advance and asked them to appear during the live broadcast.
You can choose to canvass for yourself or explain your situation to netizens, so that if you are selected, you can make a wish on the spot.
If the person who is chosen is not there, the opportunity will be given to someone else.
So, just as Bai Qiuwu finished speaking, the young lady with the ID Qingfeng Xu had already put on a vest and started sending messages.
[Qing Feng Xu Ni: He and I have been in a long-term relationship for five years, from high school to college. We finally graduated and were about to get married, but something like this happened. I really can't accept it, I really can't accept it.]
[Qingfeng Xu Ni: If he hadn't been trying to protect me, he wouldn't have been injured so badly. We had just finished taking wedding photos, and he was still telling me what flowers he wanted to give me at the wedding...]
Qingfeng Xu Ni: We have a very good relationship, and both sets of parents are very satisfied. Everything was so good, everything was just right, but something like this happened. If he hadn't been rescued, I really don't know what I would have done.
Qingfeng Xu Ni: Please, everyone, even if the wish is fake, I still want to try. I really have no other choice. I have been praying to the white walls of the hospital every day these days, for fear that the gods can't hear my voice. I really can't imagine how I would live in a world without him.
The young lady seemed very excited, and every word she typed was so heavy and suffocating.
When you click on her homepage, it is full of videos of her and her boyfriend laughing and playing. You can see that they have a really good relationship, and the boy always looks at her tenderly.
The latest video shows the two of them holding hands, with two small red booklets covering their palms. That is their marriage certificate.
It was less than three days before they had the accident.
In other words, they had just gotten their marriage certificate and it hadn't been three days yet.
They are still a young couple on their honeymoon.
They were full of expectations for their future life, but encountered such a sudden disaster.
I suddenly realized that love isn't absent from this world; it's just that I haven't encountered it. He pushed her away at the last moment, choosing to get hurt himself. What kind of instinct is that? How much love must they have for each other to be envied by the gods and encounter such a thing.
Looking at that photo, I felt breathless. Yes, they were just a little bit away, just a little bit away from embracing happiness. Why did this happen? How can I choose? I have no choice at all.
I can't bear to see this now that I'm old. Tears welled up in my eyes. It's true that the white walls of a hospital are always more touching than the bells of a church, because they've heard more sincere prayers. But in the face of natural and man-made disasters, humans are so vulnerable.
So how do I choose? This is so hard. I feel like I'll feel guilty no matter who I choose. Doesn't it mean I can only choose one? Can't I complete more? You can do it, right? I remember when I first started livestreaming, there was no limit on the number of wishes.
Ignoring the excitement of netizens, Bai Qiuwu picked up the information of the last person.
"The last one is also a young kid. His ID is Lu Wei. He said he didn't graduate from high school this year. His parents are always arguing and seem to be getting divorced, but neither of them wants him."
"He said he saw his parents contact a welfare agency and were planning to send him to an orphanage. They insisted that he had mental problems and wanted to abandon him. He also said that he went to boarding school in junior high school and that no one liked him since he was a child. He felt like a superfluous person."
"His wish was that his parents would pay for this."
The document the boy prepared was his parents' divorce agreement, which clearly stated in large letters that no one wanted the child. They had not yet successfully divorced because they were still in the divorce cooling-off period.
There was also the certificate for sending him to a welfare institution, and the certificate of mental problems with a red seal. However, the specific content of the certificate was not photographed, and it is not known what the result was.
A very tragic story of being abandoned by parents.
Similarly, when he saw himself being mentioned, Lu Wei also spoke under a vest.
Lu Wei: I used to think that all parents love their children, but later I realized that this is not true, because my parents did not love me. They have been arguing endlessly since I was born. As far as I can remember, there has never been a single day of harmony in our family.
Lu Wei: My biggest dream when I was little was for them to get divorced, so they wouldn't have to argue every day and take their anger out on me. But now they're really getting divorced, and neither of them wants me.
Lu Wei: In order to justify abandoning me, they produced a bunch of evidence, claiming they didn't have the means to raise me and that I had mental problems. I'm really sad. I don't know why they treated me like this. I even suspect I might not be their biological child.
Lu Wei: Some people are truly unworthy of being parents. I really hope they get their comeuppance. I know I'm insecure, but I was truly heartbroken. When they said they were sending me to an institution, I felt like the sky was falling.
Unlike the previous separations of life and death, this boy's story is obviously more infuriating, because it was not a natural disaster or man-made disaster that caused his death, but he met a pair of scumbag parents.
The boy's earnest plea also made many people feel distressed.
This child is only a teenager and not yet an adult. He is still in high school, but he has suffered for so long. His parents don't want him and even slander him.
What kind of desperation would force a child to do this, hoping that the parents would pay the price.
Many netizens were furious after watching the video and their reactions were equally intense.
Why is there no threshold for becoming a parent in this world? I really hope there will be an assessment before becoming a parent. Not everyone is suitable for being a parent, and not everyone understands the suffocation of a native family.
People who had lucky childhoods are healed by their childhoods throughout their lives, while people who had unfortunate childhoods spend their entire lives healing their childhoods. This child has done very well. If it were me, I can't imagine how crazy I would be. I feel suffocated when I think about this kind of experience.
[Perhaps all children think that their parents are born to love them. There are many people around me who are unfit to be parents. Every time I see their children struggling under their control, I really want to say, if you are not ready to be a parent, don't have children. The children will suffer if you have them.]
This should be handled by calling the police, right? As I recall, abandonment is a crime in China. You can ask the police to contact a lawyer and take legal action. The child is underage, so one parent must raise the child, and the other must also provide living expenses. This is a mandatory legal requirement.
I'm really impressed. How can there be such parents? The environment they grew up in must be so depressing and suffocating. Such parents should be punished. I feel like even calling the police won't be enough to deal with them, because the police in our country mostly use persuasion and generally don't interfere in other people's family affairs.
The barrage chat was heated. Bai Qiuwu took a quick look and saw that everyone was very enthusiastic, so he struck while the iron was hot and opened the voting channel.
"Everyone can vote once. One ID can only cast one vote. The first one to be cast is for today's wish. I will open it again for tomorrow's wish later. You can start voting now."
As soon as Bai Qiuwu finished speaking, he saw the voting channels that had just been opened rising rapidly, and the rate of increase was surprisingly almost the same.
The number of viewers in her live broadcast room is currently 690,000, but at this moment, only a few tens of thousands of people are participating in the voting.
More people did not rush to vote, but kept posting comments.
Why do you have to make this choice? I remember there was no limit on the number of streamers at the beginning, so why is there a limit now? These people are clearly in desperate need of help. You have the ability to do it, so why do you have to make this choice?
I really, really can't choose. I want to help that couple find their child. I also want the young couple to be together again. I also want the child's beastly parents to be punished. Am I too greedy? I simply can't choose because I want everything.
[Although I know that what I said is a bit morally blackmailing, but host, if you have the ability, just make them all come true. Don’t you think each of them is really miserable? I feel that each of them really needs to make their wishes come true. I beg you, please help them. I promise that I will watch your live broadcast every day in the future.]
[This kind of multiple-choice question about human nature really doesn't make any choices. Choosing anyone feels wrong, so why choose? Aren't adults supposed to want it all? Sister Bai, listen to my advice. Expand your horizons. If you fulfill all their wishes today, you'll be a top star tomorrow!]
One netizen after another spoke up, and this time they changed the target of their criticism and all began to persuade Bai Qiuwu.
These three people are more miserable than each other. Each of them feels that they need help very much. They can't help others, but they can instigate capable people to help them.
This is the best they can do.
For a moment, the live broadcast room was dominated by this kind of barrage of comments, and many people who had voted also came to join in the discussion, and gradually it actually created a trend.
More and more people talked about it, and the popularity grew higher and higher, and in an instant it broke through the historical peak again.
The situation seemed to be getting out of control. Bai Qiuwu's cell phone, which he had placed aside, rang. Bai Qiuwu glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Pu Xi.
Pu Xi told her not to be persuaded, and as long as she continued to stick to her principles and engage in hunger marketing, more and more people would come to watch.
And those who have not realized their wishes can participate in the selection repeatedly, so that the people who choose them every time will keep following until they are selected.
This method of attracting people's attention is invincible. The popularity and audience will only snowball and grow bigger and bigger, and then huge wealth will come.
Pu Xi spoke in great detail and explained things very clearly.
But Bai Qiuwu just glanced at it, and then turned off his phone as if he didn't see it.
Of course she knew what Pu Xi meant.
That would indeed increase her fame and indirectly increase her value. When something is limited or unlimited, its value is very different.
This is indeed an awesome marketing idea, and it is no wonder that the marketing genius Pu Xi came up with it.
This way he could indeed make a lot of money, but he lost the most important thing. He became mechanical and no longer had any humanity.
Wishes have never been commodities that can be sold or have their value increased at will. The essence of helping people realize their wishes is to better benefit the public.
It was also because of this that Bai Qiuwu didn't even read the long article on her phone. She understood the ideas, but she was disdainful of them.
She felt the strength of the obsession of these three people and confirmed that what they said was true and that their wishes came from the bottom of their hearts.
Then he spoke directly: "The platform wants me to limit the number of wishes. This rule is also for my own good. They say that this will attract more popularity. Only by keeping people on edge can we get better and better."
"But I don't like this. I never do live streaming for popularity. I just want more people to know me so that I can have more opportunities to help others. That's why I choose to live stream, that's all."
"I didn't say this to imply anything else. I'm not trying to gain sympathy or attract attention. I just wanted to explain why I didn't follow the rules. After all, the rules were set just yesterday, and I broke them today. It's a bit hard to explain."
"I also hope that everyone won't blame me for not keeping my word, because even if you do, I won't abide by this rule. What my friend said before is right. I have the ability, so I should help others. This is my responsibility."
Bai Qiuwu expressed his thoughts calmly, without showing off or being sentimental.
She didn't even look at everyone's reaction and made the decision directly.
"My three friends, you can all make a wish now. Give any amount of money you want, even 10 cents, 20 cents, 1 yuan or 2 yuan, and I will help you realize your wish."
As soon as she said this, netizens in the live broadcast room went crazy. The dense barrage of comments directly covered the screen, and at the top of these comments were the three wishers.
Xiao Jin: Thank you, thank you. If I find my child, I will do everything I can to repay you! When will I find my child? Will it take a long time? What else do I need to pay?
[Qingfeng Xu Ni: Thank you so much. Do you know when my boyfriend will wake up? I'm really worried.]
Lu Wei: Sister, you didn't lie to me, did you? Then when can my wish come true? Can I see them being punished before they are sent to the orphanage?
Faced with questions one after another, Bai Qiuwu calmly replied: "Within these three days, all your wishes will come true."
"As for how this will be achieved, I can't guarantee it."
