Gu Qingqiu hung up Zhang Yuantang's phone in frustration, saying that the boss, who was supposed to come to the company to discuss the contract tomorrow, had suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while drinking tonight and was being rescued, so tomorrow's meeting had to be canceled.
Because of this delay, by the time Gu Qingqiu returned to her computer, Abyss Mirror's live stream was already black.
Gu Qingqiu was just about to open Abyss Mirror's private message to say goodnight when she was shocked by a barrage of messages. This was simply... an unexpected gift!
But this little brat seems to have misunderstood something... Gu Qingqiu wasn't going to explain, but instead sent a string of numbers in a very aloof manner.
Less than ten seconds later, she received a friend notification on WeChat that the little brat's WeChat nickname was exactly the same as the one on his live stream account.
AbyssMirror: Sister?
Gu: Hmm, where are the photos?
There was silence on the other end for a few minutes.
Abyss Mirror: [Image]
Gu Qingqiu clicked on the low-resolution image, which looked like a cropped section from a photograph. It showed a side profile of a boy in a school uniform. He was very thin, and his bangs almost covered his eyes, but you could tell that he had excellent features and very fair skin.
Gu: ...Is this a junior high school uniform? Are you really an adult?
Abyss Mirror: It's really, really, really! This is a photo of me from junior high school. I haven't taken any photos in ages, and it took me ages to find this one...
Gu: Can't we take a picture right now?
Two minutes later, the message could no longer be retracted.
Gu: If you don't want to, then forget it. Never mind, pretend I didn't ask.
Gu Qingqiu was surprised that the little brat wasn't replying; he was actually that shy! Shaking her head helplessly, she started confirming tomorrow's work arrangements in the work group.
Bai Jingyuan didn't not want to reply, but his phone had automatically shut down without him noticing the battery level. Since he didn't have any cash on him, he couldn't even take the bus home.
Bai Jingyuan could only run frantically, fearing that he would see a red dot on the chat box when he got home. The fact that he dared to disappear halfway through a chat with the number one fan was absolutely outrageous!
After arriving home, Bai Jingyuan took a few deep breaths, then hurriedly rummaged through his phone, found the charger, plugged it in, and turned it on.
The smartphone, which had been used for nearly three years, had lost a lot of performance. It took a full two minutes to boot up. By the time Bai Jingyuan opened WeChat, almost half an hour had passed since Gu Qingqiu sent him the message.
Bai Jingyuan cautiously replied that it was okay. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any red dots, but the other party didn't respond.
It's almost midnight, she's probably already asleep.
Bai Jingyuan walked into the bathroom and glanced at his sweaty and disheveled self. He first took a shower and washed his hair, then changed into comfortable pajamas. He looked in the mirror for a long time, but he was not satisfied with the angle. Although the photos looked good no matter how he took them, Bai Jingyuan always felt that the photos could not capture the effect he wanted.
In the end, Bai Jingyuan could only hold his phone directly in front of him, look at the camera with some nervousness, stiffly take a picture of his face, close his eyes, and send the original image without a care in the world, then turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Bai Jingyuan, lying in bed, tossed and turned nervously, almost as if he were about to meet his online boyfriend in person.
When Gu Qingqiu, who was suffering from morning sickness, received Bai Jingyuan's selfie, she instantly woke up, stared at the photo for a long time, and then pressed the save button.
Gu Qingqiu: [Oh my god, system, he's so cute!]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, the experience bar is still at 0%. Should I remind you?]
Gu Qingqiu: [I know, we're just getting to know each other slowly! Don't worry!]
On her way to work, Gu Qingqiu would occasionally open the photos to look at them, and only after sitting down in her office chair did she solemnly reply to the comments.
Gu: So cute.
Seeing that the other party did not reply, Gu Qingqiu also thought of Bai Jingyuan's schedule, so she chose to leave the computer running and work.
Sure enough, I received a reply around 11 o'clock.
AbyssMirror: Thank you.
Thank you? That's so bland.
Gu Qingqiu was somewhat dissatisfied and decided to continue teasing him.
Gu: Your skin is so nice, I really want to pinch it, it looks so soft.
Bai Jingyuan's computer crashed again, and it took him a long time to reply.
AbyssMirror: You can't pinch me now!
Gu: Why can't I pinch you? Give me your home address, and I'll come to your door and pinch you.
Abyss Mirror: ...Isn't this a bad idea?
Gu: What? You don't dare?
Abyss Mirror: [Positioning]
Abyss Mirror: Do you dare come? Aren't you afraid I'll kidnap you and extort you?
Gu: Why wouldn't I dare? You just wait.
Gu Qingqiu looked at the location information sent by Bai Jingyuan with great interest. It was a bus stop, which should be near his home. However, she did not expect that this place was right next to her city, and it would only take less than half an hour to get there by high-speed rail.
It wouldn't be reasonable not to go, would it? Gu Qingqiu immediately called Zhang Yuantang and said she was going on a business trip to the next city and asked him to help her book a high-speed rail ticket.
Zhang Yuantang, a dutiful secretary, tried hard to recall for an hour but couldn't remember where he had gone wrong in his work. How could he not remember that President Gu had this trip?
...
Bai Jingyuan sat blankly on the bed. After Autumn asked for the address and told him to wait, she didn't say anything more. He didn't know if she was joking or serious.
He hesitated for so long before sending the address, because his current place is small and run-down, and he was too embarrassed to send his real address, so he could only choose a nearby bus stop. But if Autumn really comes, he will definitely be willing to pick her up!
Shaking his head, Bai Jingyuan tried to stop thinking about Autumn. In any case, he had to go out now.
As usual, Bai Jingyuan posted the start of his live stream while on the bus.
However, when the broadcast started as scheduled, Bai Jingyuan did not see Autumn in the live stream.
fraud!
Bai Jingyuan felt a little wronged, and his vision blurred. He realized that his eyes were filled with tears. Fearing that the viewers in the live broadcast room would notice something was wrong, he had no choice but to turn off the microphone.
Bai Jingyuan played games in silence all afternoon. His absent-mindedness was obvious to the viewers in the live stream, but his skill was undeniable, and he still won all afternoon.
After each game, he couldn't help but look for Autumn in the live stream, but without exception, he always failed.
Is she no longer willing to even come to see me?
After a hasty end to the broadcast, Bai Jingyuan sat in a chair at the internet cafe, lost in thought.
He knew that there were no free lunches in life, that Lady Luck wouldn't smile upon him, and that even if he occasionally received a bit of kindness, it wouldn't be entirely his.
As a viewer, Autumn has every right to choose to watch other streamers.
It's just that I'm too incompetent; I can't speak at all, and I can't even keep an audience.
Knowing he wasn't in the right frame of mind, Bai Jingyuan decided not to stream that night. He grabbed a scallion pancake and boarded the bus home.
