Chapter 62
Xu Gui's comments resonated with many netizens.
They say there are only two seasons now, winter and summer, and that's absolutely true. The temperature was quite cool a couple of days ago, but it suddenly spiked today.
The weather this year is really strange, fluctuating between hot and cold. Usually it would be hot much earlier, but this year it's been cool for so long.
It's just that City A is cool; other provinces and cities have been hot for ages. In this kind of weather, my life depends on air conditioning.
[Important question: What happened to the little girl who was targeted by the pedophile? Xu Gui, have you found her parents and spoken to them about this?]
Some netizens were discussing the weather, but many more were concerned about Qiaoqiao's situation. Xu Gui saw this, said a few words, and then dropped the subject, not wanting to say more.
In her eyes, Qiaoqiao's matter was over. As the child's mother, Xue Mingyue would naturally stand up for her child, so Xu Gui didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Compared to others, Xu Gui felt that Gui should worry more about himself.
Of course, netizens are also worried. What they are most concerned about right now is the elimination round of the show.
The second round of elimination matches lasted four days, and tomorrow is the last day. Xu Gui is currently ranked eighteenth, not far behind nineteenth place, and there is still a risk of being overtaken.
The show is only considering the top ten this time, meaning that if Xu Gui doesn't advance eight places before the end of tomorrow, he'll be eliminated!
[Wandering around and around, why am I wandering everywhere? Because I'm like an ant on a hot pan!]
[It's just eighth place, I believe Xu Gui can definitely do it! Didn't she overtake everyone else last time and make it into the knockout stage?]
[Xu Gui was lucky last time, she met a rich person. Surely she can't be that lucky again this time, meeting another rich person showering her with money? If she's really that lucky, I'll immediately replace the Guanyin statue in my house with hers and worship her every day!]
"Brother, it can't be that serious! Let's just pray to Guanyin instead, Amitabha!"
We're all so anxious, but Xu Gui doesn't seem worried at all? Isn't she afraid of being eliminated?
[Well, maybe she really doesn't care. Didn't you hear her introduce herself? Her main job is fortune telling, and her side job is being a celebrity. You have no idea how much I laughed when I heard her say that. I laughed until tears streamed down my face.]
...
Xu Gui was indeed not in a hurry. At this moment, she was quite calm, after all, she felt that she had already tried her best and had a clear conscience.
"It's too hot outside, so let's work from home today and do fortune telling live," she said.
People in City A might not know how they feel about live-streamed fortune telling, but those in other provinces and cities are genuinely happy. Like I said, if they're not in City A, they don't even have the chance to have their fortunes told by Xu Gui. Watching him tell fortunes for others every day feels completely pointless.
But live fortune telling is different. It means that netizens from all over the country have a chance... well, although the chance seems very slim right now. After all, Xu Gui's live stream already has more than two million viewers and it's still rising, about to break the three million mark.
In other words, if you want Xu Gui to help you with your fortune telling, you have to be selected from among these two million people, which seems to be more difficult than taking a bus to City A to have Xu Gui tell your fortune.
People who want their fortunes told: Haha, it's just a mere three or four million people... well!
While netizens were discussing it, Xu Gui had already had the runners draw the first lucky winner according to the procedure. The netizen was called "Four-Leaf Clover," a girl with a very soft voice.
"...I want you to tell me, Master, whether my boyfriend is truly sincere towards me."
The girl talked about her relationship with her boyfriend.
She and her boyfriend have been together for five years, since they graduated from university. Their relationship has always been good, and her boyfriend treats her well and is very considerate. They have been discussing marriage recently.
However, the girl had some doubts in her heart during this period because her boyfriend had an "older sister," who, according to him, was his biological sister.
“We met his older sister a couple of years ago. She’s married and has a child. She’s a very nice person with a great personality,” the girl said. “Later, we often went out to eat together. She often gave me gifts and was very good to me. I think we’ve become friends.”
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled. If the girl said that this woman was a very nice person, then why would she have doubts about her relationship with her boyfriend because of her?
It would be great to become friends with your sister-in-law. After you marry into the family, you won't have to worry about the relationship between you and your sister-in-law. She can even help ease the tension between you and your mother-in-law. It seems like a good thing!
The girl also saw everyone's comments. She smiled bitterly and said, "I thought so before, but a while ago, I saw a photo of my boyfriend and this woman in my boyfriend's cloud drive album."
If it were just a simple photo, the girl wouldn't have reacted so strongly, but what she saw was a photo of her boyfriend kissing his "sister".
"It wasn't a kiss on the cheek, but a kiss on the lips." The existence of this photo greatly affected the girl, and when she said this, her tone was somewhat hurried and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
And what did the netizens think when they heard this?
They felt that this statement was very provocative: What does "a photo of mouths touching mouths" mean? Is it the kind of photo they were thinking of?
One netizen asked in confusion: "But isn't that woman already married and even has children?"
The girl sighed, "Yes, she's already married, has a husband and children, and is my boyfriend's older sister, so I've never doubted their relationship. But would normal siblings really take those kinds of photos?"
The girl possessed a kind of normalcy that made her feel out of place in this crazy world.
“Actually, I felt something was off before,” she said. “My boyfriend’s WeChat profile picture is his sister… Do you think a normal person would use their own sister’s picture as their profile picture?”
Netizens asked, "Didn't you ask your boyfriend about this before?"
"Why didn't you ask?" The girl's expression was one of bleak disillusionment. "He said it was because he and his sister were very close. He lost both his parents when he was young and was raised by his sister. In his heart, his sister is like his biological mother... Tell me, what can I say after he's said that? I can't keep questioning him, can I?"
If she continued to question him, it would make her seem like she had some dirty thoughts, or like she didn't trust her boyfriend enough.
The girl comforted herself, thinking that her boyfriend and his sister were biological siblings, so what could possibly happen? Perhaps it was because they grew up relying on each other that they were so close.
However, these words of comfort and self-consolation shattered completely when he saw the photo of the two kissing.
“Using his sister’s photo as his profile picture, I can accept that he sees his sister as his mother! I can not mind!” The girl spoke quickly, “But he kissed his sister and took a picture of it, then I really cannot accept that.”
Girl: "Master, tell me, is my boyfriend a pervert with a sister fetish?"
No, it shouldn't just be her boyfriend, but rather, her boyfriend and his sister—are they both perverts? How fortunate she is, encountering a whole bunch of perverts.
The girl finally finished speaking, and Xu Gui listened to her. Then, he shared his opinion: "Maybe neither your boyfriend nor his sister are perverts?"
Girl: "Impossible! What normal brother and sister would take photos like that? I even checked the date, and they took these photos last year, when we were still together!"
Xu Gui: "So, is it possible that they aren't actually siblings?"
Girl: "...Huh?"
The girl was instantly stunned, and everyone in the live stream was also a little confused.
Xu Gui said, "Think carefully about the fact that the woman is your boyfriend's older sister. Has it always been just your boyfriend and the other party's version of events, without any third person corroborating it?"
The girl was taken aback. She thought about it carefully and realized that it seemed to be true.
From beginning to end, the only people who said the woman was the boyfriend's sister were the two of them. As for others, it seems that no one ever said the boyfriend had a sister. No, it should be said that when they met this "sister," there was never anyone else present, only the three of them, or perhaps one more woman's husband.
"But, but she's married, and her husband knows my boyfriend is his brother!" the girl said urgently. "We even had dinner with that brother-in-law, and she told her husband that my boyfriend was her brother."
The girl thought, "Her husband couldn't possibly be lying to me with them, could he?"
Xu Gui asked, "Have you ever heard of NTR?"
The familiar internet slang hit her ears, and the girl was momentarily stunned.
Upon hearing this, countless viewers in the live stream were jolted awake by the comment:
Good heavens! The way this has unfolded has completely exceeded my expectations. You can never predict what will happen next; it's only going to get more and more explosive.
I thought I only saw the term NTR in anime and manga. Is this what they mean by the dimensional barrier being broken?
I feel like this young lady is about to break.
[I'd be devastated too. My fiancé, whom I was talking to about marriage, not only cheated on me with another woman, but also lied to me about being his sister. Worst of all, this woman is married, and her husband is a NTR (Netorare) pervert! Wait a minute!! Could this woman be part of that trio? It's terrifying to think about!]
...
The girl's mind was completely in chaos; she felt a sense of collapse and bewilderment, as if her perfect world had shattered in an instant.
After several seconds of silence, the girl finally asked again, "So, what exactly is going on in the relationship between the three of them?" At this point, her tone sounded really weak.
Xu Gui asked cautiously, "Are you sure you can accept all the facts I've told you?"
girl:"……"
"Isn't this all?" she asked cautiously, her voice sounding as if she were about to shatter.
Xu Gui frankly stated, "Anyway, I haven't finished speaking yet."
The girl took a breath, her tone resolute: "Tell me, I can take it!"
She sneered, "No matter how explosive it is, it's still better than what I thought was that the two of them were committing incest again."
She already said that...
Xu Gui said, "Okay then, I'll say it."
“Actually, you don’t need to care whether that woman is the other woman between you and your boyfriend,” she said, revealing a point that the girl had been holding a grudge about. “Because, to be honest, the other woman is actually you.”
The girl spat out a mouthful of water: "Pfft!"
"Me?!" she asked in utter shock. "The other woman was me?! My boyfriend and I got together five years ago, right after we graduated from university!"
Xu Gui said, "Did you know that your boyfriend was a gigolo in college?"
Girl: Huh?
The girl felt she had been completely bewildered too many times today. Netizens said they could never guess what she would say next, but now she felt that what Xu Gui would say next was the most unpredictable thing.
"Your boyfriend did a summer job during college, you know, he was a male prostitute. That's when he met this 'older sister,' and they've been in contact ever since..."
Of course, this connection is not just a simple one; it also includes physical connections.
So ultimately, it was those two who got entangled first, and only then did the girl start dating her boyfriend.
The girl was bewildered: So, I was the other woman?
Xu Gui continued, "They've maintained a relationship for seven or eight years now. Oh, by the way, you've met that woman's son, haven't you? Don't you think he looks a lot like your boyfriend?"
Girl: "...You mean?"
Xu Gui nodded and said, "That's right, just like you thought, that child is actually your boyfriend's son!"
girl:"……"
Netizens: "..."
"Didn't that woman's husband have any objections?" the girl couldn't help but ask. Perhaps because the matter was so shocking, she felt her initially agitated emotions had calmed down.
Then, I became a little curious.
Xu Gui: "That man was impotent, which is why he became an NTR. He couldn't have children to begin with, so he had no objection to becoming a father without pain."
Xu Gui thought that humans were really amazing, able to create countless unique and meaningful terms, such as "NTR". Every human is a genius.
The girl said in a subtle tone, "So, all these years, the three of them have been living like this? Is this what they mean by 'I'm not here to break up this family, but to join it'?"
Upon hearing the girl's words, countless netizens burst into laughter.
Sister, do you remember you were also involved? The way you're talking about this gossip is so relatable, it's like I'm totally imagining myself gossiping with you.
The main issue is that this whole thing is so explosive that I, as one of the parties involved, seem to have become less important.
[These women have such a great attitude. If it were me, I would have completely lost it.]
What happens next? What happens next?
The girl's attitude of instantly transforming from being involved to being a bystander caused a burst of laughter in the live chat. The girl also saw the comments from netizens and said helplessly, "It's come to this point, so I can only try to find some humor in the midst of it."
She said thankfully, "The only thing I'm glad about now is that I found out about this before we got married. It's much easier to break up now. Otherwise, if we had gotten married, it wouldn't have been so easy to separate."
She now feels that she has passed the point of being the angrier she was. Of course, she is still angry inside, but she has calmed down.
"Since the three of them have already formed a family, why does he still want to be with me?" This is what the girl finds most infuriating. "Their lives are so wonderful, why do they have to drag me into it?"
If these three people were all in cahoots and none of them would harm a fourth person, it would be a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive. But they insisted on dragging the girl into it, which made the girl very confused.
Hearing the girl's question, Xu Gui was somewhat puzzled. She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to think about perverted ideas? The reason why perverts are perverted is that their thoughts are different from normal people."
After listening, the girl suddenly felt enlightened. She murmured, "You're right. Why should I think about perverted ideas? This is their fault!"
The girl was gritting her teeth.
"Master, thank you for telling me these things. I know what I should do now..." The girl's tone seemed to carry a murderous intent as she abruptly ended the call, clearly intending to cause trouble for her "boyfriend."
Xu Gui took a sip of water and prepared for the next person.
But before the next lucky winner could be drawn, she heard the person following her say, "Teacher Xu, check Weibo!"
Xu Gui: "What's wrong?"
The person following her looked at her with their phone, which was clearly showing the trending topics on Weibo. They said, "The National Museum has responded to the Mao family matter!"
Meanwhile, in Xu Gui's live stream, a brightly lit, enlarged bullet comment scrolled across the screen: "[The National Museum has responded to the Mao family matter. Mao Taiping, Mr. Mao, he really did donate so much gold and antiques to the country!!!]"
