Chapter 68
The truth has been revealed: the cat wasn't drinking water because the automatic water dispenser in the house was leaking electricity.
The girl with the cool voice never dreamed that this was the reason. After learning the reason, she hugged her cat and sincerely apologized to it, then thanked Xu Gui, and left with her grumbling pet, feeling embarrassed.
As the other party hung up, Xu Gui's live stream fell silent again.
During this break, Xu Gui let the cameraman point the lens at the jellyfish in the aquarium, while she herself took the "Wonderful Fish" brochure and began to read it aloud as if it were an introduction—she really was an extremely responsible spokesperson, of course, whether she was qualified or not, she herself didn't know.
However, she will try her best to make her "good friend" and sugar daddy feel that the three million her company spent on her was worthwhile.
Look how responsible and serious she is about promoting it! So, even if the promotion doesn't work, we can't blame her.
Xu Gui muttered to himself.
There's one thing: although she seemed very enthusiastic, her voice was serious but lacked any skill or emotion, perfectly embodying the term "reading aloud with a stick in her mouth."
Everyone in her live stream was already laughing out loud, with comments in the chat saying:
[I don't know why, but even though Xu Guiming was explaining things so earnestly, I felt like laughing. Maybe it's because his tone was too serious?]
[Who understands my strangely endearing side? Xu Gui's reading voice is so strangely cute! If these jellyfish are really as she described, I'd actually like to buy two. Is this what they call reverse marketing?]
Are these baby jellyfish today? They look so ethereal! I've always thought jellyfish are dreamy creatures, and I have two at home. But these jellyfish from [Miaoyu] seem to have even more dreamy colors. If it were nighttime, with lights in the aquarium, they would look absolutely gorgeous!
[Camera, camera, don't point it at the aquarium! Point it at Xu Gui's face! You're not very good at filming, are you? To promote jellyfish, you need to have Xu Gui standing with them! Have her sit on a stool next to the aquarium, like she did with the fish before. That would look beautiful!]
This reminds me of the scene where Xu Gui was surrounded by betta fish, and the camera captured her through the aquarium glass. That picture was truly amazing; the composition, the lighting, the angle—every aspect was perfect. Even if the situation were to recreate that, I probably couldn't take such a perfect photo. This picture is still my wallpaper, and I'm always amazed when I see it.
[I have that photo too!! Xu Gui is the epitome of a siren. I always thought she was the innocent type, but that picture makes me feel like she has a siren-like allure, an almost superhuman quality about her. She's so beautiful!]
The memories of the longtime fans in the live stream were stirred up again, recalling that day on Douyu. When that scene came out, countless people took screenshots with their phones, and those screenshots are still on their phones now.
As for that segment of the live stream replay, it currently has the highest number of views among Xu Gui's live stream replays.
So now when someone mentions it, and everyone sees Xu Gui standing there with the booklet in his hand, they suddenly feel like they're back in that day.
More and more netizens are suggesting, "Let Xu Gui sit next to the aquarium!"
The guy filming had seen the comments in the live stream, so he also saw the suggestions from the viewers. He glanced at Xu Gui and whispered them to her.
Everyone dared to speak, and Xu Gui dared to listen. After listening, she immediately took a stool and sat down next to the aquarium.
As she approached, she heard extremely quiet swimming sounds coming from the aquarium. She turned her head and, unsurprisingly, saw five jellyfish swaying their "skirts" as they approached her.
Xu Gui simply put down his book, picked up the brine shrimp he used to feed the jellyfish, and squeezed some into the water while standing by the aquarium.
The employees of [Miaoyu] who witnessed this scene seemed to have something to say but hesitated.
—I still remember the day they brought the betta fish back. Several of them were floating belly up in the water, looking like they were about to die. They thought something was wrong, but after a careful inspection, they found that the betta fish had simply eaten too much.
I ate too much; my stomach is about to burst.
Fortunately, they were inexplicably resilient and survived the next night. However, the sight of their swollen bellies was etched into the staff's memory—they had never seen their fish with such swollen bellies before.
Watching Xu Gui feed the fish in the tank, they couldn't help but think of those betta fish... What if they brought back five jellyfish with swollen bellies? (Even though jellyfish don't have bellies.)
If a betta fish can survive even after overeating, can a jellyfish?
While the staff at [Miaoyu] were filled with doubt, Xu Gui had already finished feeding the jellyfish. The jellyfish sensed the food and, with each arching motion, fed the brine shrimp that had fallen into the fish tank into their stomachs.
Xu Gui looked down at her hair. Yuan Lu had carefully styled it for her today, giving it a simple look, making it look quite different from her usual perfunctory and sloppy style.
She was facing away from the camera, her thick, black hair cascading down her side, making her face appear fair and delicate, exuding a quiet and gentle beauty.
At that moment, everyone in the live stream suddenly remembered that Xu Gui was actually a celebrity, but she had been telling fortunes for so long that everyone had forgotten about it.
Looking at her face now, everyone can't help but think: No wonder she can become a star! Look at that face, it's truly outstanding.
With his handsome face, Xu Gui teased the jellyfish in the aquarium. Several jellyfish, their "skirts" swaying, swam obsequiously to the surface, their bodies huddled together, stretching out as if trying to reach Xu Gui.
Xu Gui watched, then generously reached out and touched the surface of the water.
Then, everyone saw a familiar scene—just like the fighting fish that day, several jellyfish swayed their bodies, their floating skirts shaking rapidly, eagerly reaching towards Xu Guidao's fingers.
[To be honest, is Xu Gui really not an aquatic pet succubus? Otherwise, why do all the betta fish and now the jellyfish get so excited when they see her, like they've seen something amazing? My jellyfish almost jumps out of the tank when it hears her voice. Do you think that makes sense?]
[I've noticed that every time Xu Gui gets close to these aquatic creatures, there's a strange and alluring chemical reaction. They both look so beautiful. Could Xu Gui have been an aquatic being in his past life?]
[The jellyfish is beautiful, and Xu Gui is beautiful too! My eyes, as a fan of good looks, are truly enjoying this amazing treat!]
[It's confirmed, Xu Gui is undoubtedly the aquatic pet succubus. My fish jumped out of the tank and said that. Check out the photos on my homepage if you don't believe me.]
[Wow, I thought the sisters were just being abstract, how come there are actually pictures?!]
[Aquatic pet succubi, how terrifying!]
And just like that, Xu Gui suddenly got the nickname "Aquatic Pet Succubus". Since she was also the spokesperson for [Wonderful Fish], her nickname spread wider and wider. Later, when people mentioned her, they would say, "That succubus, the one that everyone who swims in the water likes."
Meanwhile, Xu Shuisheng's pet succubus Gui is unaware of this nickname. After introducing the jellyfish "Wonderful Fish" to everyone, she went back to work, telling fortunes.
Xu Gui discovered that when she set up her stall under the overpass, she might only get one customer every half hour or an hour, so she was mostly idle. But when she did fortune telling via live stream, it was a different story.
She has a large audience in her live stream, with over ten million viewers. Even if only one percent of them want her to tell their fortunes, that's still a hundred thousand people. If she were to tell their fortunes one after another, she would be working like an old ox plowing a field. As long as she doesn't stop, she won't have time to rest.
“…I don’t think this will work!” After counting the six guests, Xu Gui turned off the recording equipment and looked at the other two people in the room with a serious expression.
She sighed, "There are just too many people in the live stream, one after another. I can't possibly keep up. If I had to work like this every day, I would definitely be exhausted from telling fortunes!"
The person filming asked, "Teacher Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Gui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, limit the number of people. Five people in the morning, five people in the afternoon! Ten people a day."
She had already calculated it out. With her fortune-telling skills, ten people would be just the right number—not too tiring, not too leisurely.
"...Sure enough, it's enough to count only ten people each day," she said confidently.
Seeing how serious she looked while filming, I couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Xu, didn't you say you really want to make money? Shouldn't you work hard to make money?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Gui confidently stated, "My desire to make money doesn't conflict with my laziness or wanting to rest more!"
She's not exactly short of money right now. She's already given the money for her surgery in the winter to the director, and there's also some money to support the orphanage's renovations. So, she doesn't need to rush to earn the 10 billion she dreams of.
Xu Guiyue thought about it and felt more and more convinced of this, so he immediately made the decision: "Alright, it's decided then!"
After saying that, she turned on her recording equipment, ready to share this "good news" with everyone in the live stream. However, for those in Xu Gui's live stream who wanted her to tell their fortunes, this news was a disaster.
In the past, they had to compete with tens of millions of people, which was one thing, but now Xu Gui has limited the number of fortune tellers each day, making their already low chances of being selected even lower.
[No! Master Xu, please don't limit the number of people who can tip you!]
[At this age, you should be daring and enterprising, Xu Gui, you can't be so decadent! How can you sleep at night at such a young age?]
【Our Turtle is really tired. She's only been counting five people in two hours, and she hasn't even had a few sips of water. We need to be understanding! So, Turtle, you can count her as one person when she's resting, one person when she's sleeping, and one person when she's eating. See, that instantly creates four more spots! Time can always be found if you squeeze it in.】
Sister, if we're talking about ruthlessness, you're the real ruthless one! You practically want the tortoise to tell your fortunes 24/7!
[The main issue is that Xu Gui doesn't do fortune telling live every day. Once the weather cools down, she'll definitely be setting up her stall under the overpass again, and then the chances of us getting our fortunes told by her will be even lower!]
Luckily, I live in City A, so I can easily find Xu Gui to tell my fortune if I want to, hehehe.
