When Bai Xiaoxuan brought Shi Yuqi back to the rented room, Shi Yuqi still frowned.
The room, less than 100 square meters, has half a wooden bed and the other half used as a live-streaming venue.
If it were someone else, they would have already given up and moved to another place.
"No, Xiao Xuan, why are you being so frugal? With the money I gave you as a tip, you could find a better place to rent. It's really inappropriate for you to be huddled up in this little space. People will easily think you're being pretentious!"
Shi Yuqi wasn't being pretentious; she genuinely wanted to help Bai Xiaoxuan. Given the current mindset of netizens, they would definitely continue to despise her.
Bai Xiaoxuan immediately pulled Shi Yuqi aside and whispered the reason to her.
"You're doing this for that older woman?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuqi couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
“Since we’re going to help someone, let’s go all the way and not think about leaving ourselves any way out. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll buy you a house, and then your older sister will come over as your cook. I… if you don’t mind, I can also…”
"Young Miss, how could you have been kidnapped?!"
Driver Lao Chen looked at Shi Yuqi with a helpless expression, tears streaming down his face.
"I've watched you grow up. You should at least find someone who's a good match for you. How could you be fooled by a kid?"
"Cough cough!"
Shi Yuqi blushed and spat, "Old Chen, don't talk nonsense. I think Bai Xiaoxuan is great. He's so inspiring to take care of his family and to not run away despite having so much debt. He's already very brave!"
Shi Yuqi put herself in the other person's shoes and thought that if it were her, she might have slit her own throat, because the suffocating debt collectors and the betrayal of her family were extremely torturous.
Bai Xiaoxuan smiled calmly at this moment.
"Don't blame Uncle Chen. As your driver and your closest family member, he can question me, but time will tell, and I will prove everything!"
Shi Yuqi was even more certain of what she needed to do at this point, and immediately made a phone call.
Soon, within 300 meters of the rented house, Shi Yuqi bought a 360-square-meter villa, and the property certificate was directly registered in Bai Xiaoxuan's name.
Despite Bai Xiaoxuan's refusal, his objections were ineffective. Shi Yuqi's point was that if she couldn't even pamper her own man, she couldn't be number one on the list.
Bai Xiaoxuan suddenly thought of something and chuckled.
"Sis, are you jealous?"
"Don't even try that!"
Shi Yuqi immediately pointed at Bai Xiaoxuan, proudly raising her head, "Why would I be jealous? You don't have any girls pursuing you, and the landlady is way too much older than you, so I don't need to worry!"
"Aren't you worried about being second on the list?"
When Bai Xiaoxuan brought it up, Shi Yuqi immediately pouted and put her hands on her hips.
"Remember, don't let that woman cling to you too much. She definitely has ill intentions. You see, she always gives me just a little less than I do, which shows how much effort she's putting in."
Bai Xiaoxuan agreed with this statement.
That person ranked second was aiming for the top spot.
However, the fact that he always braked suddenly, deliberately just a little bit short, makes it all the more intriguing.
If she really wanted to surpass the number one on the list, it would only come at a slightly higher price, so why didn't she do it?
Don't be fooled!
Shi Yuqi snorted at this moment, her brows furrowing.
"I can tell this woman is trying to humiliate me. Not surpassing her doesn't mean I lack ability. Look at how she topped the leaderboard in one round. Below my nine million gifts, there were her eight million eight hundred and ninety thousand gifts. This is no joke!"
Spending tens of thousands of yuan on boosting rankings might be a joke under normal circumstances, but the investment required for that one day is something only someone with substantial wealth would dare to do.
It was precisely because Shi Yuqi understood this that she confessed her feelings to Bai Xiaoxuan on the spot.
Regardless of what happens in the future, my feelings for this boy at this moment are real.
"you……"
The landlady stood there somewhat embarrassed, fiddling with the slightly greasy hem of her skirt.
"I used to be really mean to Bai Xiaoxuan, because of the rent, I..."
"Sister, you're being too polite by saying that."
Bai Xiaoxuan laughed, "I can understand you. Life is like that, all messy and chaotic, but we get through it. Look, without you, who knows what I would have become!"
"real?"
Looking at Bai Xiaoxuan with a mixture of disbelief and anticipation, the landlady's eyes once again held a hint of expectation.
"You're not angry with me?"
"It's not your fault."
Bai Xiaoxuan nodded frankly and extended his hand.
"However, live streaming will be my only job from now on. I hope my older sister can take over all the cooking and housework for me. After all, I definitely don't have much time to tidy up right now!"
"Leave it to me!"
The eldest sister showed a hint of excitement.
"You're already being kind by letting me help you. But from now on, this top spot... ptooey! Look at my memory, Xiao Xuan, you and your sister-in-law will be living together from now on, right? I'll cater to your tastes!"
The words "sister-in-law" instantly made Shi Yuqi a little embarrassed, and her face turned red to the roots of her ears.
This woman is really too direct.
Bai Xiaoxuan blushed and coughed as he reminded him.
"Sis, we're still in the dating stage, so please don't say things like that, it will make him feel embarrassed."
"Hi!"
The older sister smiled again, "I thought it was something serious, but it's nothing. By the way, I'll go prepare some food for you. Wait for me for half an hour, I'll be done in a bit!"
Watching the enthusiastic older sister walk away, Shi Yuqi couldn't help but smile.
"I like this woman because she's very genuine and has a straightforward personality!"
Bai Xiaoxuan touched his nose and smiled.
“At first, I didn’t have a good impression of her. After all, no one wants to see a landlord who is always sarcastic and irrational. But later, she really treated me well, and I was touched. So, I want to help her get out of this quagmire!”
"Help yourself out first!"
Shi Yuqi smiled and took out her phone to show him, "Juejuezi openly made rude remarks in various live-streaming e-commerce rooms on the Douyin platform, saying that she would bankrupt anyone who asked her to endorse their products."
Although many people thought this was nonsense, Bai Xiaoxuan was very concerned about the wealthy female benefactor from a few days ago.
"This Juejuezi is like a centipede, he's dead but not stiff. However, since he insists on being humiliated, I'll have another PK with him soon. Then, it won't be as simple as him calling me daddy!"
Shi Yuqi laughed, "Then I'll be waiting for your live stream! Don't forget to remind me to join the fandom when it's time. Even if I lose 8,000 of my own while killing 100 enemies, I'll still make this ingrate pay!"
